Chapter 788: The Autumn Wind and the Flood Rising (5)

It was also the sixth day of the Southwest War, and on the mountain road outside Jishan County, there were all kinds of different flags, which were gathered one after another. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Correspondingly, it was the black flags of the Huaxia Army in Jishan County, Ning Yi was still wearing a green robe, and rushed over from Hedeng County to meet the leader of this team.

The battle with the Wuxiang army continued in the mountains to the northeast, and in the Liangshan Mountains, the various tribes that had participated in the meeting of the Little Gray Mountains began to send troops, and the destination of the troops was the once powerful Mangshan Ni tribe.

This is a struggle within the Ni people, and the struggle between the various tribes of the Ni people who have flourished in Liangshan for thousands of years is barbaric and cruel, and it is not enough for outsiders. But also because of this to develop a fierce and brave folk customs, after the alliance of the small gray ridge, the Huaxia army can recruit some warriors among the Ni to join the army, and the two sides will also carry out more and more in-depth cooperation and exchanges, the process of assimilation may be long, but at least there has been a good start, and as stable the rear as possible.

With Ning Yi coming over, there was also Su Tan'er, the housemother who was able to take a vacation recently, as well as Ning Xi, Ning Ji and other children. For a long time, the material situation in the three counties of Hedeng was actually not abundant, and many times they had to supply the Dayang tribe in Tibet, and the logistics had always been tight. Especially when the state of war was unfolding, Ning Yi wanted to force many Ni tribes to stand in line, and could only wait for the right time to make a move, and the Mangshan Department was wantonly attacking the autumn harvest, Su Tan'er, who managed logistics, and Ning Yi, who was also involved in it, had actually been fighting against the materials in hand.

At this level, Lu Qiaoshan's strategy of saying good things and laughing with good things on his face and secretly trying to consume the Huaxia army as much as possible is not unreasonable. Of course, no matter who it is, they will have to face the consequences of the Huaxia Army being forced to the final decisive push, and this consequence, even today's Jurchens, I am afraid it will be extremely difficult to bear.

Blockade with all your might, gather allies, extend the battle line, and clear the wilderness. If the Wu Dynasty's encirclement and suppression of the Black Flag can achieve this level of determination, then the Huaxia Army, which does not have enough savings resources, may really face the possibility of opening all the cards and losing both. However, with only 100,000 people coming to attack, at the moment of chess in Little Gray Ridge, all this has already been decided, and there is no need to think about it anymore.

Ning Yi and Su Tan'er also relaxed for a short time.

Outside the county seat, they waved goodbye to the people of the Ni tribe who symbolically came to meet the teacher, Ning Yi and Tan'er walked along the foothills, there were jagged trees next to them, and the sun would fall from above, Ning Xi and Ning Ji and other children visited Su Wenfang in the city and did not follow. The city is bustling and quirky in the background, with mud and brick houses, waterwheels turning, factories busy, walls dividing the city into different areas, black smoke rising, no gardens, and a busy city looking a little dull.

"Remember Jiang Ning's yard, right?" While walking, Ning Yi asked.

"How can you not remember, where you grew up." Walking along the road, Tan'er's steps seemed light, and although her dress was simple, when Ning Yi asked this question, she still vaguely showed the smile of the year. At that time, Ning Yi had only woken up not long ago, and she came back from outside, with a brocade white dress and a red cloak, confident and bright, and now they had all precipitated into her body.

"I haven't seen it in years."

"After entering Beijing, I still went back, but later Xiaocanghe, Northwest, and here again, it has been more than ten years." Tan'er raised her head, "What are you talking about?" ”

"The firecrackers of the Spring Festival, the lights of the Shangyuan Festival, the Qingloufang City, and the boats on the Qinhuai River...... I sometimes think about it and feel like I've robbed you of a lot of things. Ning Yi took her hand, "Well, it's true that I grabbed a lot of things." ”

Tan'er glanced at him, but just smiled: "When I was a teenager, looking at those, I really felt that I couldn't leave it for the rest of my life." But since the family is selling things, I also thought that one day there will be nothing, in fact, married people, have children, how can there be things that have always remained the same in a lifetime, you want to go to Beijing, I will go to Beijing with you, originally will not stay in Jiangning, and then come to Xiaocanghe, now in Liangshan, think about it is a little surprising, but this is how you live your life...... Why did Xianggong suddenly talk about this? ”

"Hmm...... I just remembered that I had a dream last night that we used to be upstairs chatting. ”

"The building is burning." Tan'er stopped and raised her chin to look at him, "Xianggong forgot?" I burned it with my own hands. ”

"yes, yes." Ning Yi laughed.

Tan'er let go of his hand and walked forward slowly, the change in her body shape over the years is not big, but a woman in her thirties has faded from the sweetness of her twenties, replaced by the restraint of being a mother and the softness of being a wife, and at this time she also has the tenacity that has gone so far: "After all, after burning the building, we can live together, and only then can we have today's Xi'er." I didn't know what would happen after it burned, but the building always had to burn. Jiangning always has to go out, I'm in Hedeng, sometimes I feel bored, but look at it, after walking out of Jiangning, and then out of the capital, it doesn't seem strange. It's ...... you."

She clasped her hands to her chest, turned her head and glared at Ning Yi: "Ning Ren Tu!" What are you going to do again? ”

"The lady is discerning." Ning Yi smiled even brighter, "After all, I've been here for so long......"

"Who's going to be unlucky again?"

"This morning, Wen Yu invited himself to negotiate with Wu Xiangjun."

"Huh?" Tan'er's face changed and she frowned.

"Based on the long-term analysis and judgment of Lu Qiaoshan, in this case, Wen Yu will be fine. Don't worry, Wen Fang is injured, Wen Yu can't wait to kill them, he can get the greatest benefit when he goes to negotiate, this is his own reason for asking for the past. But that's more than that, we've been in Liangshan long enough......" he paused, "it's time to go out." ”

Tan'er was silent for a moment: "The time has come?" ”

"I've been holding my tail here for several years, and now, any clown who jumps off the beam has to come to tease it, and the Wu Dynasty has reached this level, and he dares to send Lu Qiaoshan over, and he should teach them a lesson...... When did I become a dumb man? Ning Yi frowned and shook his head.

"But...... Xianggong said the reason why he couldn't go out before. ”

"yes." Ning Yi walked forward and took Su Tan'er's hand, "You can conquer a place by force, there are hundreds of thousands of people in the Black Flag, if you really want to get out, I can kill a Wu Dynasty." But to assimilate a place, you can only rely on the context, Xiaocanghe and He Deng's years, what about equality for all, democracy, republicanism, capital, Gewu and even the great harmony of the world, really put it in the middle of tens of millions of people in the Wu Dynasty, these things will be gone, after all...... Their lives are still passable. ”

"The fire lit in the Black Flag Army, seriously said for ten years, is just a tinder. If you really want to pull it out, the only useful thing is probably to shout that everyone is equal to kill the rich and divide the land. When Zuo Duanyou left, I made a joke with him, saying that if the whole world was really my enemy, I began to shout equality and equal land. But if the world is to eventually get better, it needs to acknowledge the current differences before it gets better. ”

"Overkill will inevitably be overcorrected, and if the government is returned to the people under the current circumstances, the cultural context will be cut off. Today's Confucian system is broken, but the respect for culture and wisdom cannot be broken, the self-esteem of the literati cannot be broken, to go to the right path, the mouth of the stupid person is unreliable, in the end it is necessary to take wisdom as the core, I at least want to ensure that in the new era, people will understand the weight of culture, the literati themselves can recognize this weight, realize their own responsibility, and even because of this responsibility, in the face of power unyieldingly, pay the price for the truth. ”

"Killing people is very simple, just tell the people of the world that you are all the same, the same with wisdom and without wisdom, the same as not reading, I will penetrate the Wu Dynasty, even the Jurchens, unify the world, and then kill all the opponents. Literati, kill a batch and kill a batch, come a few more times, and the rest will be on their knees. But...... Those who will come will also kneel, there will be no more bones, they can do things for money, for good, and the culture in their hands has no weight for them. How can people trust them when they have questions? ”

"To make people understand and give everyone the power to choose is to hope that everyone can be at the helm. But once cultural self-esteem is broken, even if you are sensible, it is impossible to make the right choice after the information is blinded, and we will go back to the old road in the future. Why bother me to kill the Wu Dynasty and establish another Wu Dynasty? Literati have bones, which is a headache, but for an era to get better, there must be literati with bones...... I can't help but care. ”

The two of them went down the mountain road, and many people followed in the distance, Tan'er smiled: "Xianggong's words are heard, and they will say that you are bragging." ”

"The scenery should be long-term, and it is necessary to take precautions." Ning Yi also smiled, "But now that it's almost time, let's go out a little bit first...... The most important thing is that the defeated must cut the meat, so as to set an example, on the other hand, the Jurchen wants to go south, the Wu Dynasty may not be able to stop it, we don't have much time, there is no way to mother-in-law, let's pull out a few cities first, and see the effect. I asked Yong Jinnian to write something......"

"So, you can go out for the New Year this year?"

"I hope I have a good year......

The couple walked all the way and said some words, and when they reached the mountainside, they saw a few people coming down the road, Tan'er smiled and pointed to an old man in front of them: "Oh, Master Yongzi." ”

This old man's name is Yongjinnian, a Confucian scholar introduced by Zuo Duanyou, and now he is in charge of the compilation of some books and texts in Jishan. The two sides greeted each other, and Ning Yi got straight to the point: "Master Yong, please come over, I hope to take your pen and write an essay for the Huaxia Army." ”

"Text?" The old man's eyes lit up.

"yes, I guess that means...... Since the Jinghan Dynasty, the Jurchens have risen, the world has been in turmoil, and the survival of the Central Plains and the Chinese nation has been threatened. Since the establishment of the Huaxia Army, all the officers and men in the Huaxia Army have shed their blood for the survival of the world, although they have died without mercy...... During the Jianshuo period, the Central Plains fell into the hands of the gold thieves, and the Huaxia army resisted the enemy in the northwest for three years, and successively defeated the puppet Qi and Jin armies of millions of people, and beheaded the Jurchen general Lou Mur, and resigned, but finally because of the lack of fate behind him, he went south to ......"

……

The late autumn wind has already blown up, and Liangshan still seems warm. In the camp of the Wuxiang army, after Su Wenyu proposed to let the Wuxiang army surrender unconditionally, the two sides announced the breakdown of the first negotiation in their own unkind words.

Su Wenyu turned around and left and waved his hand.

"Then let's fight for two more days!"

Soon, the black military flag spread, attacking the territory of the Wuxiang army all over the mountains.

The war will continue, and it won't be long before Brother Lang gets the news that the Mangshan tribe is besieged and attacked by a large army......

……

“…… From the Huaxia Army to Xiaoliang Mountain, life and cultivation, trembling and trembling, inside, the local people did not commit any crimes, and outside the contract and integrity as the standard of dealings, and never bullied and owed others. Since the change of the new monarch of the Wu Dynasty, the Huaxia Army has maintained restraint and goodwill, but now, this restraint and goodwill are misunderstood. Some people regard the goodwill of our army as weakness! In the ninth year of Wu Jianshuo, under the premise that the Jurchen Zongfu and Zongbi were eyeing Jiangnan and Huaxia would face the disaster of the extermination of the Wang clan, the Wu Dynasty, with 100,000 Wuxiang troops, brazenly attacked, and would rather ignore the catastrophe of extinction in the case of the most prosperous external troubles.

……

In the Central Plains north of the Yangtze River, the hungry ghosts are still swelling and destroying everything they can see, Bianliang has been besieged for months, and as the autumn passes, the acres of fields burned by the hungry ghosts have been harvested, and the savings have been exhausted. In the vicinity of Bianliang, countless cities suffered the same fate.

Ali Scrape led the army to defeat and slaughter the hungry ghost troops several times, and several large armies that were once part of the puppet Qi were also trying their best to resist the invasion of the hungry ghosts, and in this autumn, millions of people either starved to death or were killed on the land, the stench of corpses spread, and the plague began to spread. But the number of hungry ghosts is still expanding at an irrepressible rate.

Plagued by hunger and sickness, Wang Shitong was already mad, commanding a huge army of hungry ghosts to attack everywhere he could see: there were too many people, and he didn't mind letting the hungry ghosts wear and tear on the battlefield as much as possible. And the food was already too scarce, even if the city was captured, it would not be enough to keep the people who followed it for too long, and wherever the hungry ghosts went, the bark and grass roots on the mountains had been eaten, and when the autumn passed, some of the fruits were gone, and people set up pots and boiled water, and began to devour their own kind.

Some of the puppet Qi warlords who controlled the territory even tried to get out of the way, causing the hungry ghosts to go south, but the hungry ghosts chose to attack the city like a sea of people. Jiangnan is too far away, and they can only grasp every grain in front of them.

The small, thin, skinny people went all the way, crying without tears, despair accompanied them, little by little with the cold, about to soak this hell on earth.

No one can stop it.

The 8,000 elites of the Black Flag dodged this desperate tide and were still rushing to Xuzhou.

……

“…… The Huaxia army will not sit idly by and tolerate the short-sightedness and stupidity of its neighbors, and will deal a head-on blow to all invading enemies...... Now that the Wuxiang army has been defeated, in order to ensure the survival and interests of the Huaxia army, the survival and interests of the residents of Liangshan, and the trade routes and exchanges with all parties that the Huaxia army has been maintaining, under the premise that the Wu Dynasty can no longer maintain the above articles, the Huaxia army will ensure the safety of our trade routes facing east and north. On the premise of the complete surrender of the Wuxiang army, our side will take over the garrison mission from Liangshan to the east and north, and to Zizhou as the boundary......"

When Ning Yi said this, Yong Jinnian beside him raised his head and opened his mouth wide......

……

In the Daimyo's Mansion, Li Xizhi led an army of 170,000 to arrive at the city, and at the same time, the 11,000 Huaxia army led by Zhu Biao crossed the mountains and mountains and came straight to the bank of the Yellow River where Li Xizhi was located.

The drums of war are like thunder, the flags are like the sea, and the formation of 170,000 troops gives people the impression that they cannot be shaken, but 10,000 people have already come straight to this side.

“…… Arrogant boy, you really dare to start a war with our army! ”

Li Xizhi, who was preparing the army to attack the city, was also stunned for a long time after confirming the route, and at this time, the vanguard of the Jurchen army of 300,000 had already crossed Zhending, three hundred miles away from the Daimyo's Mansion.

And on the second day after the Jurchen army crossed the border in Zhending, an attack on the Jurchen logistics troops broke out in Zhending, and at the same time, an explosion sounded in the old house of the Qi family in Zhending City, followed by a spreading fire, and a person named Green Forest fought in this old mansion. The assassination of Qi Yan has been launched, but due to the Qi family's business here all along, and the large number of generals and green forest warriors collected, this assassination of the inside and outside failed to kill Qi Yan in the end.

Qi Yan's two sons, a grandson, and some of his relatives died in this assassination. After this large-scale assassination, Qi Yan carried countless family wealth and many relatives all the way north, and arrived in Yunzhong Mansion, run by Zong Han, Xi Yin, and others, the marshal of the Jin State, and settled in the following year.

These people have not returned to the Central Plains since then......

……

“…… Our army dispatched troops this time, first, in order to ensure that the interests of the Chinese military and business are not infringed upon, and second, it is a small punishment and a big admonition to many clowns in the Wu Dynasty. The Huaxia Army will strictly abide by the military regulations of the past, and will not commit any offences to the masses in every city and every place that is dedicated to China, will not disturb the people, will not demolish houses, and will not destroy fields. After this incident, if the Wu Dynasty comes to its senses, the Huaxia Army will uphold a peaceful and friendly attitude, conduct friendly negotiations with the Wu Dynasty on matters such as damage and compensation, and properly discuss the jurisdiction of Zizhou and other cities after the Wu Dynasty has promised the interests of the Huaxia Army in various places......"

“…… Since its establishment, the Huaxia Army has been behaving in a disciplined manner and being kind to its neighbors, and has always received the support and help of many enlightened people. For example, Lingnan Li Chengmao (Li Xiannong) and others, in order to solve the problem of Mangshan Langge and other bandits, they ran day after day and worked hard...... Uh, I'll add a few more names later...... Just because people with lofty ideals are clear, foreign insults are ahead, and overthrow is imminent, only the survival of all ethnic groups in China is the top priority today. Only by letting go of contradictions and working together can the Chinese people defeat the Jurchens, recover the Central Plains, and prosper the land of China...... The people of China will not forget them, history will leave their names, will thank them, and hope that the sages of the Wu Dynasty can take this as a mirror and rein in the precipice, it is not too late. ”

“…… Here, the Huaxia Army promised that everything it did would put the interests of China first, and that it would never be the first to raise a dispute with the Wu Dynasty in the future, hoping that this sincerity would make the Wu Dynasty turn back. At the same time, all those who infringe on the interests of China are the enemies of our Chinese army, and the Chinese army will never indulge or tolerate the enemy. ”

Ning Yi paused and added the last sentence.

"Don't be unpredictable."

……

In early August, after several years of silence in the southwest, the black flag came out of Liangshan.

On the bank of the Yellow River, a major battle against Li Xizhi's 170,000 troops was fiercely unfolded, which was the beginning of a series of resistance battles against the Jurchen army in the north.
