Section 92 still dares to collect protection money from us

"Chanting the scriptures, what is your faith?"

In the gap between Wei Dao and Ya Yunchen's arrival, Zhao Yue flipped through the information and asked casually.

"Faith?"

Wang Nianjing was stunned for a moment, scratched his head and said, "What is faith?" ”

He was born in poverty, and he was brave and stubborn as a young man, and he was fortunate to learn higher martial arts, but he was not very literate, except for some Buddhist scriptures that he could memorize and did not know his meaning, and he almost never read.

What is the difference between reading and not reading?

To put it simply, reading books opens up the horizon and guides thinking.

When man thinks, God laughs. Because the troubles came.

This is the troubles of life from literacy.

The definition of faith, Zhao Yue didn't know how to express it.

"It's probably the spiritual pillar that you've been keeping all your life."

"Spiritual pillars?" Wang Nianjing muttered to himself, a trace of pain between his eyebrows.

His spiritual support used to be to go his own way, get a lot of money, spend a lot of money, live well, and give a lot of money to his parents to live a comfortable life, proving that he did not go the wrong way.

And Li Wenshun is the iron brother who accompanies him in the bloody and bloody journey, and he is also an important part of his spiritual pillar.

My father and mother died of anger early and couldn't see his achievements, and his sworn friend also died, and his spiritual pillar collapsed. What sustains him alive is the promise of his dying friend and the return of his relatives who helped his parents.

He is like a wandering soul that exists with Zhao Yue's existence.

He didn't think so, but he did. Willing to do the same. By the side of this magical boy, he felt a sense of security that he had never felt before, and his changing and turbulent heart had never been so steady.

Zhao Yue knew that it aroused Wang Nianjing's guilt for his parents and his thoughts about his deceased friends.

"Alright. Don't mention this. Tell us about your dreams? ”

"Dreams? Of course, it is to protect the safety of Childe when he is not martial, focusing on other work or resting. Strive to do a good job, and you won't be driven away. ”

"Tricks? You kid wants to beg for a beating. ”

Zhao Yue knew he was telling the truth. but deliberately laughed and scolded.

Wang Nianjing laughed, and the color of pain disappeared.

He really enjoyed it. It's hard, but it's not brain-free, and there is no sadness if there is no heart.

"Childe has, what kind of faith do you have?"

Idle chat to relieve boredom.

Wang Nianjing was also extremely curious, and wanted to know what kind of faith the magical boy would have.

Zhao Yue smiled and nodded, "Yes, only four words, 'empire' and 'conquest'." ”

"Simply put, conquest."

Seeing Wang Nianjing's clear look, Zhao Yue knew that he would be wrong or that his understanding was incomplete. Explained with a smile: "It's not just about fighting. When I say conquest, I mean everything. ”

"The conquest of the mysteries of the universe, the conquest of ignorance and backwardness, the conquest of cowardice, conservatism, insensitivity and other characteristics that a strong nation should not have, the conquest of the old system, the old thinking, privilege, injustice, and corruption. Defeated"

"Conquest is a spirit of high spirit. With its fulcrum and source of power, our nation-state will have a strong and undefeated empire that will be able to sustain an infinitely better world. ”

Wang Nianjing's eyes were straight when he heard this, and he thought silently, when he heard someone outside the door shouting: "The last general is not talented, and he is willing to follow the conquest." Fearless in life and death, build the kind of beautiful world that Childe said. ”

Edo and Yakumo pushed the door open and strode in.

Zhao Yue smiled and looked at the second general who was making a lot of noise and was getting more and more energetic.

"You were born and died with the Ranyunpu bandits for more than a month, and you have developed feelings, and you want to find a good way out for them, right?"

"Hey, hey. Childe is magical and knows everything. Xu Pingsheng and Han Tongyin are indeed available. The murderous Deng Yun, the ladies and the robbers are not unable to play a positive role. Ask Childe to give them a chance. ”

Two will be hippie smiley.

"Amazing fart. Your eyes have betrayed your mind. ”

He originally planned to arrange for the two of them to go to the military academy to study afterwards, do something on Haitan Island, or transfer to the field army of the Southern Army to lead the troops. Accumulate credit, and when you are old or don't want to fight around anymore, you can defend one side. Now I am afraid that the second general does not want to leave the territory of the Great Song Dynasty.

He listened to the two of them talk about the war these days. Pondering which is the right place for the bandit army.

At this time, Ma Ling came in. There was a hint of strangeness on his face.

Zhao Yue asked with his eyes.

Ma Ling asked: "Can the second son know about Cangshan?" ”

Zhao Yue was stunned for a moment and smiled: "I know something." ”

"The Kucang Mountain Range is located in the south-central part of eastern Zhejiang, with Yandang in the south, Tiantai in the north, Xiandu in the west, and the sea in the east, between Lishui, Qingtian, Jinyun, Xianju, Yongjia, Linhai, and Huangyan regions, and is the watershed of the Lingjiang River system and the Oujiang River system, with an elevation of 1382.4 meters above sea level, which is the highest peak in southeast Zhejiang, and is the first ray of sunshine in Chinese mainland in the 21st century.

Zhao Yue took his girlfriend to play in his previous life, and he learned a little about it, and he said it (back) in his mouth, so naturally the last two sentences were just said in his heart.

Liu Zhaoyu in the Tang Dynasty had more poems:

Half a day away, the mountains look straight down. The white clouds rise with the steps, and the dangerous path is extremely heavenly.

The bridge at the top of the waterfall is small, and the shop by the stream is cold. The back and forth is too empty, and it is difficult to change the temples.

Ma Ling gave a thumbs up, "Childe is a true god." However, Childe doesn't know, right? It's this Kucang Mountain, a group of bandits have recently appeared, and they are arrogant enough to collect protection money from us! ”

Jianghuai was the most important tax revenue area of the Great Song Dynasty. If there were pirates entrenched in this coastal area and threatened Jianghuai at all times, the rulers of the Great Song Dynasty would definitely have trouble sleeping, and they would vigorously build ships to clean up.

Haitan Island is located outside Fujian, although it is still a threat to the territorial order of the Great Song Dynasty, but Fujian has many mountains, the economy is backward, and the contribution to the imperial court tax is far from being compared with Jianghuai, and the rulers of the Great Song Dynasty should not do it.

In order to avoid wasting a lot of manpower, material resources and funds on the outdated ships of the Great Song Dynasty, and in order not to involve too much energy in the civil war, and to avoid prematurely exhausting the vitality of the Great Song Dynasty, which led to the early collapse of the situation into complete chaos and complexity, and it was extremely difficult to clean up, Cangzhao even gave up the Zhoushan Islands that had been occupied, and did not set up a stronghold in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and naturally there was no troop deployment in the Cangshan area.

There is a jade ring island in Taizhou, it is the second largest island in Zhejiang, with an area of 170 square kilometers, located on the east side of Yueqing Bay, north of the Chumen Peninsula, later generations have the name of "East China Sea Jasper", the Song Dynasty has a big salt field here, of course it has been abandoned now, but this island will expose a narrow road through the island whenever the tide is low.

The flood of victims has passed, but there are still scattered victims who continue to rush to the coast in search of a way out. Because of this passage, Yuhuan Island was easily picked up by pirates, so it naturally became a gathering place for disaster victims.

To go to Yuhuan Island, many victims have to pass through Kucang Mountain to provide coercion convenience for the entrenched bandits.

Wei Dao, Ba Yunchen, and Wang Nianjing all glared, "Who is this?" He also fattened his guts. ”

Xiao Liu Tong burst out laughing, leaning forward and back with laughter, out of breath.

Wei Dao couldn't help but laugh when he thought about it.

This gang of thieves is ignorant and fearless, and it's kind of cute and ridiculous, right?

Zhao Yueyi raised his eyebrows and said, "I'm afraid that Fang La has a mind, right?" ”

Cangzhao pirates, the biggest beneficiary of the Great Song Dynasty is actually Fang La, who has a convenient location.

The building near the water is the first to get the month.

Manichaeism sold pure salt and sugar from pirates nearby, and these two items alone made a fortune, and it is no longer the poor sect in history that relies on the poor people to squeeze their livers and lungs and save money to make offerings to the religion in order to have money to prepare rebel weapons and equipment, and the backbone of the religion can have money and enjoyment.

Fang La's life is very good, and now he has a group of wives and concubines, and the emperor secretly enjoys it.

Of course, there are downsides.

Pirate immigration gave the poor a new way out and hope. Coastal areas, especially Jiangnan, are more affected by immigration.

Manichaeism was able to grow and harden and clamor the court by fooling and absorbing the desperate poor. It is impossible to imagine the ease with which the poor were swept into religion by the strong impact of immigration.

Fang La and other Manichaean backbones are naturally not stupid and do not know how to improvise.

As soon as they saw that they could not move the poor and could not restrain the people, but they had money, they changed to the route of elite soldiers. The backbone generals were assigned to various places to occupy the mountains and set up villages, and trained troops in the situation of bandits, looted, and sold smuggled goods by the way.

When it comes to martial arts, there are too many people to use it.

Fang La in this world has the real power to rebel, he doesn't need to carry a hoe and a wooden stick, and he doesn't have to fight in the army and has no brave poor people, relying on the sea of people to flood the officials and soldiers.

has strength, and the ambition is naturally more ambitious, but I am afraid that there is a calculation to test the purpose of the pirates.

Poor Dao thought the same way. Otherwise, how dare the newly gathered thousand thieves touch my tiger whiskers? ”

"However, it is reported that the head of the three village owners does have excellent skills, and they are good at archery, and threaten that if they are pirates, that is, if we don't pay them protection money, we will not blame them for destroying immigrants."

As soon as Zhao Yue heard that the archery technique was superior, he suddenly remembered someone.

This person is a general under Fang La, the sword and gun martial arts may not be strong, but the lethality is amazing, led the troops to guard Yuling Pass, and shot Shi Jin, Shi Xiu, Chen Da, Yang Chun, Li Zhong, Xue Yong, and Ou Peng among the one hundred and eight generals in Liangshan. In the end, the robbery failed, and he was captured alive by Tang Long and killed, and his life ended. "The leader is Pang Wanchun, nicknamed Xiao Yangyuji?"

"Childe also knows?"

Ma Ling was surprised.

He had never heard of such a person in the green forest before.

Zhao Yue nodded slightly and said: "This person's archery skills are indeed good, in the Great Song Dynasty, I am afraid that only he is worthy of a long and short shot with Hua Rong's divine shooting." ”

Ma Ling was taken aback: "This person is so powerful? ”

Hua Rong's archery skills, he knows too well. With his skill, extraordinary acumen and reaction speed in playing hidden weapons, if he is closely targeted by Hua Rong's arrows, it will probably be difficult to survive.

"What's the reaction from Haitan Island?"

"Zhong Xiang was furious when he heard about it, and he was leading his troops to the sea to rush somewhere."

Zhao Yue shook his head and said, "They can't deal with Pang Wanchun's arrows. Ordered to anchor at Yuhuan Island. ”

Look at the guard road and Yakumo dust again.

"If you want to play with the Chaoyunpu bandits, just station in Kucang Mountain."

If you don't occupy Yuhuan Island as a pirate and entrench yourself in the mountains and wilderness as a bandit, you won't trigger the nerves that the rulers of the Great Song Dynasty have already sensitized. The prefect of Taizhou is still an old acquaintance, and the Miao of Zhujiazhuang is still high and the sky is dark. This person can only pick up money, and will not do serious things, and he definitely has no courage to encircle and suppress Cangshan.

The mountain is dangerous and difficult to attack. If there is a real emergency, it can also be quickly transferred to sea. (To be continued.) )
