Chapter 70: Losing an Arm
This means that Fan Li didn't raise money everywhere, and also pumped the money of businessmen, but now, after a big defeat, he decided to stay in Ganzhou and work hard, so what should I do, I can only rely on the local officials in Ganzhou to contribute money and efforts.
But will the local officials be successful, will they ignore you? Not at all. The governor of Ganzhou not only ignored Fan Li, but said cool things. What do you say, are you embarrassed to ask us for money? You go and inquire, your soldiers in Huzhou are rich, your hometown, you go and see how many new houses have been built. As long as one person in your local family becomes a soldier, the whole family doesn't have to work! What kind of land to plant? What kind of textile is it, what kind of small business? I can't even run out of money!
I heard that you have a little brave soldier, who was poor at home and couldn't even eat, and had to wear the only pair of pants in the family before going out, and the rest of the people were bare-chested at home, but after two years of being a soldier, the family bought 1,000 acres of paddy fields, and even said that there was no place to buy it in his hometown, so he bought it in Hengzhou.
So Fan Li, you don't have to worry about me asking for money, your family has bought more land, and your family has transported too much silver to your own house, so I can't give you money in this case, even if I have it, I won't give it to you, not to mention I don't.
This remark made Fan Liang very angry, yes! We have some brave leaders who have got some money, but this money can't be said to be above board, at least this money is clean, can it be the same as the money you get from playing these buried things in the officialdom? These people were bought in exchange for their lives, and I am here to fight this rebel army, who am I for, not for you Ganzhou? As the governor of Ganzhou, you play me like this! Okay, you wait for me, I'll sue you!
That night, Fan Liang personally gave the emperor a recital, the governor of Ganzhou, and wrote several accusations on it, after writing Fan Liang did not forget to show loyalty to the emperor, and then wrote in the back that I had no personal grudges with him, everything was out of public intentions, and after writing, I handed it to the emperor.
Not long after handing it over, the governor of Ganzhou was taken down. Speaking of which, everyone feels that Fan Liang has a kind of momentum, people block and kill, Buddha blocks and kills Buddha, whoever doesn't let me rebuild the water army, whoever doesn't give me money, whoever has to be involved in me, the emperor is now pointing at me to fight, I can participate in anyone, as long as there is a reasonable reason, who dares to stop me?
It seems to be invincible, but in fact, on the surface, everyone doesn't say it, and behind the scenes, everyone is getting more and more annoyed. Therefore, Fan Li will soon fall into a situation in Ganzhou, which is even worse than the exclusion he received in Huzhou back then.
So how will Fan Li spend this state? At that time, the problem faced by Fan Li was too difficult, he just crossed the river by feeling the stones, I have to do this, I have to do this, no one knows if I can do it, I will sacrifice my life for the country when I die!
Of course, he may have also thought that I might have to win, and I would make a contribution, but there are too many difficulties in front of me, and the difficulty of money has been said more than once. Although there is the support of the emperor, the emperor gave Fan Li a lot of treatment and gave him a lot of rights, including issuing an edict saying that people must support you unconditionally.
But all these things belong to a military command. In other words, it is to give you treatment, you preside over the work, but you have no real power. Look at the various deputies in the unit today, what and what and what and then preside over the work. But let's talk about it, it's not long, it's not a level!
Fan Liang was like this, he came out to lead the troops to fight for several years, and only then did he get a right attendant of the military department, and Fan Liang made up for it. The right attendant of the military department, this can be regarded as a mention for him, but if you think about it carefully, this is actually an official title that Fan Li had six years ago, so Fan Li has not mixed up anything over the years!
If it's you, you have fought for so many years with your head pinned to your belt, and you have committed suicide several times when you are sad, and then you have no treatment, your official rank remains the same, not only does it not go up but it goes down, can you hold on?
Why did Fan Li hold on? It is a firm belief in the depths of the heart. And these friends who worked hard with him and shared values helped him move forward together.
But in fact, the difficulties and pressures faced by Fan Li at this time are getting bigger and bigger, because several of these friends have left him, and his subordinates are slowly gone, where are they gone? Dead in battle!
The first person to talk about is Ji Bu, who is one of the few warriors in the Tiger Army who can attract Fan Li's attention and is very positive and responsible. This man is loyal and brave by nature, and when he held a position as a commander, he also tattooed four words on his left arm: Serve the country loyally!
And every time there is a war, it is basically the first to lead the soldiers forward, but there is a Ji Bu for what's the use, before Fan Li's water army let the rebel army beat himself away, and the baggage was lost, Fan Liang was beaten to the point of jumping into the water and committed suicide, leaving the army.
Now that the army is left, the heavy responsibility of the rise of Fan Li is thrown on the army. Ji Bu personally led the troops to rush out and fight outside, and he also made a military order with Fan Li, in short, if I don't take Jiujiang, I will die on the battlefield.
However, the oath is easy to make, but it is difficult to practice it, and in the first month, although Ji Bu won many small battles, the Jiujiang he wanted to take was captured at all.
And during this period, Fan Li's sailors have slowly recovered, so the preparation may be to bring a little more soldiers, build a little more boats, and then let's go out to fight!
Ji Bu originally thought that he could borrow some light, but he didn't borrow it, the reputation of the navy was too great, and he was transferred away when the war was urgent in other places, so Ji Bu was finally left with some soldiers when he was in Jiujiang.
Then at this time, Ji Bu's heart was also very anxious. I couldn't attack it repeatedly, and I fought on the battlefield for many months, and I was really uncomfortable. What's wrong with him, at the age of 39, he died violently!
Today we are talking about dying of overwork, vomiting blood and dying, in fact, this is the case, but the reasons for vomiting blood are tiredness, previous injuries, anxiousness, and pressure from Fan Li and so on.
But anyway, Ji Bu is dead, Ji Bu's death has brought a considerable blow to Fan Li, he didn't think about this, he is too young this person. This is the Huzhou water and land commander personally raised by Fan Li, this Ji Bu is not only a soldier, he is also a representative of the image of eliminating the emperor's suspicion of local commanders like Fan Li, expressing loyalty to the monarch and serving the country, and intimacy.
