Chapter 974: Mianzang Splendid Sword and Sword (1)
As a result of what he saw that night, the fourteen-year-old boy had strange dreams that night. The scene in the dream is red-faced, and it is true.
The next morning he woke up in an embarrassing situation, medically speaking, he naturally understood that this was a sign of good health, but the still ignorant young man felt ashamed, he had killed countless enemies on the battlefield, and now he was tempted by a yellow-haired girl who knew that she was an enemy. Women are woe to water, that's right.
Fortunately, at the moment, I live alone, and I won't be found out about any embarrassing things. When I got up, it was not yet dawn, so I left my morning class, and hurriedly went to the deserted river to wash my pants - in order to hide people's eyes and ears, I added an extra basin of clothes - I washed for a long time, and while washing, I thought that my martial arts were too low after all, and if I practiced for a few more years, my internal strength would be high, and if I refined and refined my qi, there would be no such waste of essence and blood. Well, I really have to work hard to cultivate.
Thinking like this, his subordinates used their strength to tear the clothes they were washing. This dress was made by my mother, and I had to find someone to make it up when I went back.
If the mood is agitated, you can't control your strength, it is also a lowly performance of martial arts, and if you practice for a few more years and control the subtleties, it won't be like this...... Cultivate hard, cultivate hard......
After washing clothes with such and such thoughts, I returned to the courtyard and carried out the morning exercise at the beginning of the day, internal strength, boxing, swords and guns...... The ancient city of Chengdu gradually woke up in such darkness, a thin mist floated in the sky, and soon after dawn, there were carts dragging steamed buns to the outside of the courtyard to call. Ning Ji was halfway through his practice, went out to say hello to the boss, and bought twenty steamed buns - he bought them every day, and he was already familiar with the boss, and the other party would stay outside for a moment every morning.
At this time, the steamed bun is also called the cage cake, the filling inside, in fact, is equivalent to the steamed bun of later generations, twenty steamed buns are filled with a cloth bag, which is about equal to the amount of food for three or five people. Rather than buy breakfast, eat two at random, and then go back to continue exercising. When the workout was over, the morning sun had risen in the moving sky, he rinsed a little, changed into new clothes, and then put on his cloth bag and left the yard while eating breakfast.
It was still early, considering the situation last night, he went all the way to the side of Mahachi Yingbin Road, intending to arrest an acquaintance of the intelligence department and secretly ask him about the news of Shangong.
At this time, the Huaxia Army has occupied Chengdu, and it may be operated as the core of power in the future. But Ning Ji didn't plan to go over there to show off.
After the war, the Huaxia Army was overstretched, and the rear had been reorganizing and training the surrendered Han army and placing the Jin army prisoners. Chengdu is now in a state of opening up to the outside world, and here, many forces, whether bright or covert, are in a new period of testing and wrestling, and the Huaxia army is monitoring the enemy in the city of Chengdu, and all kinds of enemies are probably also monitoring the Huaxia army at the gates of various departments. Before the Huaxia Army completely digested the results of this war, it was not surprising that there were games, frictions, and even firefights in Chengdu.
This is also a training for the Huaxia Army - the sphere of influence has expanded from one million to ten million, and the policy has to be opened to the outside world, and such a test will also have to be experienced in the future. Of course, it is also because of this reason, although it is decided to hold a conference in Chengdu, at this time, the Ning family can stay in Chengdu only the father, Aunt Gua, brother and herself, and Aunt Hongti, who has the highest martial arts, are now staying in Zhangcun to be responsible for internal security, so as not to have any stunned blood surges, take risks, and run over to find trouble.
Of course, on the other hand, Ning Ji is not willing to let the Ministry of Intelligence get too involved in this matter in his hands at the moment - it is a chronic incident anyway, a weak woman with a ghost in her heart, a few stupid old pedants, she can do it at any time. really found some big shady scenes, and he could still pull his brother and the first sister into the water, and when the time came, the brothers would work together to break the gold to ensure that they couldn't turn the sky over.
Thinking so, he came to the vicinity of the Maha Pond while eating steamed buns, and observed the crowd coming in and out on Yingbin Road. There are quite a few young people in the intelligence department of the Huaxia Army, and they know a lot of people -- this is also determined by the overstretched situation of the army in those years, but most of those who have combat effectiveness have to be pulled into the battlefield, and there are old people, children, and women who stay in the rear.
At three o'clock, Hou Yuanqi trotted out of Yingbin Road, looked at the nearby pedestrians slightly, and after sorting out a few suspicious figures, he also saw the young man who was walking through the crowd and making a hidden gesture. He walked a few streets to the side of the road before he met in an alley.
Ning Ji was stuffing the steamed bun in his hand into his mouth, and then handed him one: "The last one." β
"I've eaten it." Hou Yuanqi looked at the cloth bag he was carrying on his side, which had been completely suffocated, and said with a smile, "Xiao Ji, why don't you go in?" β
"There are people watching outside, and I don't have anything very important, forget it. I'm here to find you. β
"Huh?"
"I want to check someone."
"Xiao Ji, you say."
"An old man called 'Shan Gong' or 'Hao Ran Gong', a scholar, with a long face and a goatee, probably in his fifties......"
Ning Ji described the characteristics of the other party to Hou Yuanji, Hou Yuanji nodded while remembering, and when Ning Ji finished speaking, he frowned slightly: "Why check him, is there anything wrong?" If there's anything suspicious, I can report it first. β
"Not now, if it's a big event, I won't come here to block people."
"yes, okay." Hou Yuanqian nodded, he naturally understood that although his identity was hidden after the war because of his special identity, the young man in front of him had a way to contact the Huaxia Army at any time, since he didn't have to run over to block people through official channels, it was obviously out of secrecy. In fact, there was information about the mountain man, and he had an outline as soon as he heard it, but he still had to ask before he could answer it.
ββ¦β¦ If it is the title of "Shan Gong" plus "Haoran", when Guan Shanhai entered the city at the end of May, I heard that it is an old Confucian student, the word Haoran, and there is some influence outside the Jianmen Pass, after entering the city, I found the newspaper here and published three articles, I heard that the moral article is sonorous and powerful, so it is indeed on the list of recent concerns. β
"Moral Article......" Ning Ji was expressionless, scratching his cheek with his fingers, "I heard that he 'held the bull ears of Chengdu'......"
"Ox Ear can't take his turn." Hou Yuanqi laughed, "But it's about the top few, what's wrong...... If someone boasts about him like this, most likely they want to ask him to do something. β
"Is there an eye on him from the Ministry of Intelligence?"
"It's not a stalker, after all, there are a lot of people, unless it's sure that he may make trouble, it can't be arranged. However, some basic information should be recorded, if you determine a direction, I can go back and inquire, of course, if he has a big problem, you have to let me report to the report. β
Ning Ji thought for a while: "I want to know who he usually interacts with, which people are his helpers, and who he will go to if he wants to find out the news." β
"Understood." Hou Yuanqian nodded, "Make an appointment and try to give you news tonight." β
The two discussed and made an appointment before parting ways.
At this time, the morning sun has become bright, and the streets and alleys of the city seem to be peaceful. The long chariots and horses were accompanied by the smell of muddy water in the market, the chatting scholars walked through the rustic crowd, the happy children held the hands of their parents, and the warriors on the other side of the street began to shout...... There's no bad guy anywhere. But Ning Ji knows what the real reason for the mothers, aunts, younger brothers and sisters in the family cannot come to Chengdu.
After the end of the Great War in the Southwest, his mother took him to visit the widows of some of his comrades who died in the war. The Huaxia army has endured hardships for more than ten years, and seeing that the first great victory is just around the corner, these people died before the victory, and the crying of their parents, wives, and children at home is moving. After that, Ning Ji's mood was depressed, and others only thought that this visit had affected him.
But in fact, it's more than that. For a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy, it feels generous to fight, injure, or even die with the enemy on the battlefield. When the heroes who were able to stand up and fight died, their families would feel sad and even hopeless, and such emotions would certainly infect him, but there was always a way to repay them if he regarded these families as his own.
But then they talked about the celebration in Chengdu.
Ning Ji originally thought that after defeating the Jurchens, there would be an open clear sky next, but in fact it was not. Aunt Hongti, who has the strongest martial arts, wants to stay in Zhangcun to protect her family, and his mother and several other aunts come to persuade him not to go to Chengdu for the time being, and even his brother says the same thing to him. Why, because the next Chengdu will be a more complicated struggle.
In the past, the big clans of the world who neglected the power of the Huaxia army would come to test the Huaxia army, and such and such Confucian people would come over to oppose the rise of the Huaxia army like Dai Mengwei and others, and those who were powerless in front of the murderous Jurchens would try to fight the autumn wind on the Huaxia army, and even want to come over and tear off a piece of flesh on the Huaxia army - and this difference was only because the Jurchens would kill them all, but the Huaxia army was Han with them.
And countless civilians will choose to wait and see, waiting for the wooing.
This is something that makes Ning Ji feel confused and angry.
Why?
They were beaten like pigs and dogs in front of the Jurchens, the Central Plains fell, the rivers and mountains were robbed, and the people were slaughtered, wasn't this because of their cowardice and incompetence?
It was the Huaxia Army that defeated the Jurchens for them, why did they still have the face to be hostile to the Huaxia Army?
Their defeat was so obvious, and so was the victory of the Huaxia Army. Why should a loser tell nonsense with his eyes open?
Isn't right and wrong obvious?
Why are those so-called gentlemen who are full of poetry and books, and those who keep saying that they are called "great Confucians", can't distinguish the most basic right from wrong?
Did they do it on purpose? But at only fourteen years old, he could imagine that if he talked nonsense in front of someone with his eyes open, he would be red-eared and ashamed. I also read books myself, and the teachers have said these things from the beginning, why do people become like that when they are forty, fifty, or sixty?
"The Huaxia army has won, but he will lose in fifty years." Why do people who haven't won a game say such things? Why?
Such thinking made him angry.
It was also these things that made him understand that those heroes who fell in the Great War were just considered heroes in the Huaxia Army, and there were still tens of millions of people in the world who didn't understand, understand, or recognize their sacrifice and value at all, and would even continue to work against their side in the coming time.
Huaxia Army is only a million people at the moment, but it has to deal with tens of millions or even tens of thousands of people, according to the elder brother and others, to slowly change them, to "beg" them to understand their own ideas. Then they will continue to fight with the Jurchens, and those who have awakened will rush ahead, and those who have awakened will die first, but those who have not awakened, they will fail and complain while waiting for others to pull them.
Such a world is not right...... Isn't it true that such a world will always be the right person who has to give more and more things, and the weak and incompetent person has no responsibility? The Huaxia Army has made countless efforts and sacrifices to defeat the Jurchens, and in the end, the Huaxia Army has to change them and save them, and the Huaxia Army has to "beg" their "understanding", and in the end they may be able to have a good result, but in this way, isn't it that the latecomers have paid nothing, and everything is pressed on the shoulders of the first payers?
The awakened get good results, and the weak and filthy die. That's how a fair world should be. Those people only distort their own hearts by studying, they become officials for selfishness and profit, they are weak in the face of the enemy, they cannot work hard after being slaughtered, and when others defeat a powerful enemy, they are still secretly thinking about it...... These people, all deserve to die...... Many people may still live like this, still unrepentant, but at least, no one is sorry to die.
For a 14-year-old boy, this feeling of "more than innocent" certainly has the "impotent rage" that he cannot understand and cannot change the other party's thinking. But it has indeed become the main tone of his thinking for a while, and he has given up showing his head and looking at these outsiders in the corner, as if he were a clown.
These people have distorted thinking, dirty psychology, and meaningless lives, and he doesn't care about them, but he doesn't kill these people for the sake of the opinions of his father, brother and family. He ran to monitor Wen Shoubin and Qu Longjun in the small courtyard every night, and he naturally had this mentality.
If they are discovered, or if the drama starts to get out of hand, they will be slaughtered, and they should be killed anywayβhe will be very happy.
After watching the street for a while, Ning Ji then set off to go to work at the martial arts competition.
At the same moment, Yan Daolun led Yu Hezhong to the Qunying Hall at the southern end of Yingbin Road and handed over the post. This place was used by the Huaxia Army to accommodate foreign guests, and now many people have lived in it, and the envoys sent from Liu Guangshi's side are also living here at this time.
"Wen Shuai" Liu Guangshi was very thoughtful, and the team sent out was bright and dark, on the surface, he was the first force to make changes among the factions of the original Wu Dynasty, if the Huaxia Army wanted to show sincerity, he would definitely be treated preferentially. But considering the previous bad impression, he also chose various dark lines, and the power in the dark was controlled by Yan Daolun.
A few days ago, Yan Daolun visited Master Li for the first time under the leadership of Hezhong, Yan Daolun was quite measured, and left after saying hello, but then he came to the door alone to hand over the post. After such a prayer post was rejected, he found Yu Hezhong again and took him to join the envoy team on the surface.
"At present, the southwest heroes have gathered, and the first batch of people from all walks of life who came over have been placed here."
This Heroes Hall occupies a large area, and all the way in, the road is wide and the leaves are forested, and it seems that the scenery is a little better than the north. Everywhere in the garden flowers, you can see people gathering in different costumes, or talking casually, or looking at each other, with temptation and caution between the eyebrows. Yan Daolun led Yu Hezhong in and introduced him to him.
"The one who was placed in the north and occupied the main position was the team that came from Jindi, the female minister Lou Shuwan and the subordinates of the chaotic master Wang Juyun, they had such and such contacts in the past, the name of the leader is An Xifu, with a straight face, not easy to mess with. This time they're going to take the lion's ...... Dongshou placed the Zuo family, Zuo Gong Zuo Xiuquan, Zuo Jiyun's right-hand man, and they can be regarded as the big stewards of the Zuo family. This matter of killing the monarch can't be reconciled, but pretending to be confused with understanding and wanting benefits for the Fuzhou side is not a big problem...... And in addition to these two families who have an old relationship with the Huaxia Army in the past, it will be our turn next......"
"In today's Chengdu city, there are nothing more than three forces standing on the surface. The Huaxia Army was the landlord and occupied one side. Like this, it is the second party that can still have a relationship with the Huaxia Army and get some benefits. Huaxia Jun said that it was going to open the door, and to put it bluntly, it wanted to win us over, so the first to stand up will take advantage of it in the next discussion, but what kind of advantage it is, of course, depends on how to talk about it. Please Brother Yu, you come out for this matter......"
Yu Hezhong thought, "That's really the case." With a big deal in his mind, he asked tentatively: "I don't know what the benefits of Huaxia Army will be, what will be the specific ......?"
"Technology." Yan Daolun lowered his voice, "Huaxia Jun summoned all parties to come, and he secretly revealed some clues, this Chengdu conference, Mr. Ning will not only sell things, but also sell some things manufacturing technology, you know, this is the hen that can lay eggs......"
Yu Hezhong frowned: "This is a yang scheme, in this way, the people of all parties outside are not aligned, and the Huaxia Army can just succeed." β
"Brother Yu is thorough, I can see it." Yan Daolun smiled, "The major events in the world are like this, the Huaxia Army has the upper hand, he is willing to take out the benefits, and everyone will do their own thing and take what they need." For example, Dai Mengwei, Wu Qimei, and others who were inseparable from the Huaxia army earlier, although they sent people to destroy this conference, but who secretly knew who they sent over to pretend to be a trader to take advantage? It happened to be a third party like them, who were resolutely enemies of the Huaxia Army, that General Liu was more likely to get benefits from the Huaxia Army. β
He paused with a smile: "Throughout ancient and modern history, the game of the Three Kingdoms is the most interesting, the strong can be weak, the weak can be strong, and it is precisely because of the chaotic situation that it is the time for you and my men to make contributions and win some meritorious deeds." This is Yan's heartfelt words, and he made a contract with Brother Yu, so he said it, whether it is reasonable or not, please Brother Yu, don't spread it. β
Yu Hezhong nodded solemnly, the other party's words also spoke to his heart, if it weren't for this current situation, if it weren't for the karma he happened to have with his teacher, how much connection could he have with the world in Hezhong? Now that the Huaxia Army wants to win over outsiders, Liu Guangshi wants to stand up first and ask for some benefits, he is in the middle, and it just so happens that the favors on both sides have helped, on the one hand, he gets some benefits, and on the other hand, isn't it also for the country and the people, the best of all three.
Thinking so, the leader of the envoy group had already greeted him from the other end of the hall, this was an important minister under Liu Guangshi, and then the group went in and introduced many famous people under Liu Guangshi to Yu Hezhong. These bigwigs in the past complimented Hezhong, and then everyone summed up and said the expectations of the envoys this time: gun technology, iron smelting technology, gunpowder technology...... If the situation is ideal, of course, I want everything, and at worst, I hope to buy back a few important technologies.
Yu Hezhong, who was originally praised flutteringly, fell from the clouds, thinking to himself, aren't you bluffing me? Hope that I can get back so many things through the relationship between my teacher and teacher? Are you crazy or is Ning Yi crazy? Thinking like this, in the midst of everyone's discussions, his heart became more and more worried, and he knew that after chatting here, he must have brought a few important people to visit the teacher. If the master knows this and gives him a closed door, I am afraid that it will be difficult for him to be an ordinary person when he returns home......
"Actually...... The younger brother and the teacher and the girl are just some childhood feelings, and they can say a few words. For these things, the little brother dares to ask the teacher and the girl to pass on a message and think of a way, but ...... After all, it is a major matter of the family and the country, and it is difficult to say whether the teacher girl has such a status in the Huaxia Army now...... Therefore, it can only be reluctantly tried...... Do your best......"
Everyone discussed for a while, Yu Hezhong finally couldn't help it, and said this, and all the big people in the club looked at each other with smiles, looking at Yu Hezhong's eyes, and they were all kind and close.
"Nature......
"Just do your best and ......"
"Brother Yu's hard work ......"
"No burden, whether it is ...... or not"
Everyone said a lot of righteous words, and then two representatives were elected, and they followed Yu Hezhong and went to visit the teacher.
handed over the name post, and while waiting for a reply, Yu Hezhong's entire underwear was soaked......
