Qingjian City, located in northern Shaanxi, was swept away, and Yanzhou, that is, Yan'an in later generations, was naturally affected at the same time.

The main force of the pirate army swept in at an incredible speed of marching, so fast that it could be called a lightning speed, and as soon as I heard that the pirates were still raging in the east of the river, they rushed to the Yanyan Road in the blink of an eye.

The envoy of the Yan Road is Liu Yanqing, that is, the father of Liu Guangshi, who is known as one of the four generals of Zhongxing in the Southern Song Dynasty in history.

Liu Yanqing is also a veteran of the battle between the barbarians in the northwest of Jiuzhen and the Western Xia barbarians, and he can also be called the famous general of Zhao Jichao, but he was just shocked and urgently adjusted the army to prepare for the change, and before it could be implemented, the pirates rushed to the city and blocked the four gates, and the defenders of the city gate to prevent betrayal were still ...... Surrendered the pirates with a bang. The gates of the city were opened at the first time, and the pirate army entered the city unimpeded....... Liu Yanqing and the others were blocked in panic and trapped at home, helpless and resigned to fate.

They don't understand: it is impossible for a pirate spy to do so much ideological work in advance of the officers and men of the Western Army and still keep it strictly secret, so why would the soldiers betray so in unison? In particular, many of the guards and even henchmen who were treated well also followed the betrayal neatly, and turned around to help the pirates actively deal with the old master......

To put it bluntly, it's simple.

Pirates have long preached the freedom, peace, and beautiful life of the empire, and penetrated almost every corner. Not only in the territory of the Song Dynasty, but also in Liao and Western Xia Dali and other places.

And people do not live for the sake of war, and become soldiers to fight wars to earn a living.

Who doesn't want a peaceful, peaceful and happy life?

If the Western Army can hope to defeat the Western Xia, or take a step back to defeat the Xia Army and dare not invade again, then it's okay, it's worth taking the risk as a soldier.

But the problem is, it's not.

There's no hope at all.

The decline of the Western Xia Dynasty made the Song Dynasty see the hope of destroying the Western Xia, but unfortunately the Liao State intervened and helped the Western Xia to support it. And what is even more hateful is that the Cangzhao family used their lives to exchange their lives for the country and the nation...... The new technologies such as cement created were ...... by the officials, lords, nobles, and profiteers of the Song Dynasty Too many traitors did everything possible to sell to the Western Xia, so that the poor land of the Western Xia suddenly had good seeds and sufficient food...... There were also strong and tall fortresses that could not be attacked, and the Western Xia was rejuvenated and powerful......

There is no end in sight to the war with Xixia. The days of peace and stability will not come.

When a soldier can only endure the suffering and danger that cannot see the end, when no one wants to marry a bachelor who lives in a disorderly manner, or dies on the battlefield, he hastily hastily hastily lives this miserable and boring life, and establishes meritorious wealth and wealth for the generals who drink the blood of soldiers, and he is not grateful, or he is ordered to fight for the country and suffer for a lifetime, and when he is old, he is driven out of the army, and he dies alone in the wilderness and breaks his home.......

With no way out, it's just that, poor life, hard life, you can only admit it, can you still fight against God and the injustice of fate? Just be honest and be a soldier, and die casually.

But...... There is a choice, and that way out is infinitely beautiful.

It is a country ruled by the Han people, the climate is warm, flowers bloom in all seasons, there is no winter, there is no need to worry about being too poor to make cotton clothes to survive the cold winter, you can live comfortably by pulling a fig leaf....... The meadows are fertile and the mountains and seas are infinite, and the fruits and game alone cannot be eaten, and the soil is fertile enough to catch oil, and it is said that the humid and hot environment makes it easier for fallen leaves to rot and fertile...... If you don't top dress, you won't be able to grow a decent harvest..... It is said that there is a hierarchy, not a farmer and a businessman like the Song Dynasty, it is a grade divided by race and moral ability, the grade is different, what is that, the national treatment is different, it is not clear how the level is different, but the clear point is that the Han soldiers who fought hard for the country and the border like themselves must be the best, I heard that there are at least 100 acres of fertile land, pirates' acres, not the acres of the Song Kingdom, 100 acres is quite a large field, it cannot be planted at all, it can be rotated, grazing cattle, sheep and chickens........ Not to mention that there are no miscellaneous taxes and corrupt officials who are bullying and exploiting, even if there are taxes that are as heavy as those of the Song Kingdom, it is worth it. Here, not to mention the barrenness of the land, there is no land that can fall into the hands of the miserable in large numbers......

On top of that, there are many women in the pirate country, who have no masters, who are said to be aliens from other parts of the country, who are beautiful, capable, and docile...... It is customary to serve her husband as a lord that day, and she admits that she is not beautiful, capable, and docile, and this is not a blind and lame waste woman, who wants to marry a soldier who may die in battle at any time?

I'm old, oh I'm more than fifty, I see that it's unbearable to die on the battlefield casually, or be kicked out of the barracks, miserable, lonely, poor, I don't want luck to come, no, God has eyes, pirates are benevolent and righteous, and I can pick a mother-in-law in the past, and I like to be a father when I enter the door, it doesn't matter if I can't marry a young girl, my mother-in-law knows how to hurt people when she is older, and it doesn't matter if the child is not her own species, anyway, when you are old, you may not be able to have children and inherit the family lineage. It is considered that there is an adopted son and a daughter who changed their surname and raised them, at least they will not die in a muddy house like this lonely old and pathetic, and no one will know.

The young soldier is even more hopeful.

Fertile land homes, fish ponds, fishing boats, prawns and game...... Mine, orchards, pastures, cattle and sheep, oh, and horses, mine, and ...... There are too many choices and free prospects, I don't like to farm as a farmer, I can also work in a factory, the pirate country attaches importance to craftsmen, teaches technology for free, can't do it, someone teaches someone to take an apprentice into the factory, I am young and not stupid, although the blessing of the Tuocang Zhao dictionary has not been seriously studied in school, but it is also literate and can count, not blind, anyway, I can learn some technical work, I can always do something....... When it comes to marrying a wife, there are more choices and dreams. Oh, as long as I think about my mother-in-law who knows cold and hot, holding my baby, and living a peaceful and comfortable life, I am so excited that I want to cry....... The pirates came to pick up people, nothing was a problem, there was no need to worry about escaping, there was no travel expenses, and there were government searches and interceptions on the way, and they were caught in prison as coolies.......

The betrayal of the Great Song Dynasty is not a betrayal of the ancestors, a betrayal of the nation, and a shameful traitor lackey, but a refuge in the wise new lord of the Han nation and a strong new Chinese dynasty. There is no sin that is undeserved. There is no psychological burden. Betrayal and rebellion are not sins condemned by the history books, but merit, and the merit of promoting the advanced orthodox Han dynasty to grow faster and stronger is the wisest and most appropriate national choice for the officers and men of the Western Army at a critical moment in history......

So what are you waiting for?

There is no time to lose. That's the way it goes.

As a result, Yang Keshi, the leader of the anti-Jin generals, led the people to rebel at the excited request of the soldiers in the city, and surrendered to the pirates, and his subordinate general Zhao Ming was caught off guard and was disarmed and trapped at home, and Yang Keshi, who was ashamed of him, was angry and asked: "Yang Keshi, how can you betray the court?" How old are you, you have already become such a powerful and promising high-ranking official of the observation envoy, and the court is not thin on you, how can you owe you the slightest? How can I not be sorry for you....... You, you have the grace of the court so well, the grace of the king is high and the earth is thick, and the loyal ministers and righteous people should swear to die to repay it, you ........"

Indignantly incoherent.

Yang Keshi sighed lightly when he heard this, "Brother, the emperor is not kind to me, but what about the vast number of long-term towns and soldiers who have fought to the death, no, no, and have been brave and loyal for generations?" It's cold and ruthless. No matter how loyal and touching the heroic battle is, and then there is too much blood sacrifice, that is also what it should be, and it is the life of a despicable person. The Manchu Dynasty was not moved at all. And I, hehe, what about being a big official? Isn't it still a lowly and hard-working lackey in the eyes of the Manchu Dynasty doctors, civil and military bureaucrats? It's just a dog with a little bit of ability and a little bit of use. Where is the dignity of our generation of soldiers? What is the significance of fighting bloody battles and dying in batches of thousands of battles? Who can understand our distress and disappointment? Is there any high-ranking official and powerful minister who is willing to be considerate and caring for the loyal soldiers of our generation? Just a moment, it's really not very demanding...... The so-called political wisdom and bullshit of conceited people are only conceited, and they are not humane to our soldiers.......

You tell me that the soldiers have a new Chinese orthodox empire to be loyal to, and can enjoy the respect they deserve and the life they look forward to from generation to generation, why don't they rebel? Why can't I think about the soldiers and help them achieve their wishes more smoothly? They deserved it. It was the Great Song Dynasty who owed the soldiers too much, too long. I have a better real Huaxia Zhengshuo hero to serve, why don't I surrender? For such a brand-new empire, no matter how tragic my Yang Keshi is, it is worth ...... to die."

"General Zhao, you are my general, in fact, you are my brother, you and I have always been in the contract with each other, but I have to arrest you. It's a brother, I won't harm you, but I'm afraid that you will be foolish and loyal to the court, and you will die in vain. It doesn't make sense, not at all, no one will be moved by you. The court will only treat it as a loyal ant who has died with a good one, and casually send some posthumous mourning, and then your lonely family will be reduced to dust and no one will pay attention to it anymore, because there is no you. Your house is useless. Your death resistance will not be a righteous glory planted in the annals of history, but only a pathetic and ridiculous wretched worm that hinders the progress of history. Brother, think about it. It doesn't matter if you can't figure it out now, I just hope that when the next round of truly murderous and bloody and more urgent tests comes, you can hold on. I can't talk to you much about it at this point. I only wish you, brother, take care. ”

Solemnly clenched his fists and arched his hands, "Take care." Survive the test. Looking forward to seeing you sooner. Oh, some of your family members, such as wives and concubines, and children, I'm going to take them. They shouldn't suffer here, and they shouldn't be a drag on you when the big exam comes. They have my family to take care of, so you can rest assured. In the years to come, concentrate on practicing martial arts and strengthening your body, and prepare for the big exam and hard battle that will inevitably come. When the time comes, whether you choose to fight to the death for your country, or surrender with interest, you need abundant physical skills to fight on the battlefield......

This side of Yan'an Mansion. Liu Yanqing's house.

Li Yongqi, the general of the Yanyan Road Department, and Li Xianzhong, the son of a brave young man, quickly raided and captured Liu Yanqing's family with the help of some rebel troops in Liu's mansion and cooperated, and led two pirate generals and some pirate soldiers to the house where Liu's family was sealed.

"Where are you going to get my son?"

Liu Yanqing slapped the table angrily, and when his youngest son was frightened and desperate and struggled to call for his father's help, he shouted loudly: "Haven't you pirates always paid attention to the fact that there will be no death without resistance?" I didn't resist all over the house, I didn't kill a single soldier of your pirates, it is equivalent to being captured, I heard that you didn't make it difficult for any of the generals who didn't resist when they swept Hedong, even if there were children in his family who were guilty of crimes and deserved to die, you didn't catch them alone, why is it different here? Could it be that I, Liu Yanqing, have been on the border for decades and have not been loyal to serve the Han nation and defend the people? Isn't it your pirate standard that you can't kill or trample on the heroes of the nation? You, you ......"

Liu Yanqing was so excited that he trembled.

He didn't expect this to happen. He led the whole family to capture Ben with an idea.

He feels that he has meritorious service to the Han nation, he also has talents, his son Guangshi also has the appearance of a general, and his second son An Shi is not bad, his Liu family father and son are useful, they can make contributions to the pirate empire, and they should also belong to the pirates who are willing or even happy to be accepted. He secretly expected this, and even thought that he would be valued and courteous......

But there was such an accident.

Why is that? What cause and effect did the second son provoke? What can you do in the Northwest to offend pirates?

It was Zhao Gonglian who specially sent him to participate in the battle - Miao Zhenglong and Miao Tianhu who arrested Liu Anshi.

In Kongtong Mountain that year, Zhao Yue had solemnly promised to the people of Miaojia Village, who had suffered such a catastrophe and bloody hatred against the government and injustice, that he could not immediately avenge the Miao family due to the situation, but this revenge must be avenged, and it will not take too long. Zhao Yue was riddled with everything, but he never forgot the promise he made. Zhao Gonglian has also always kept it in mind.

Now, even now, Liu Anshi is about to pay off his debts for the sins of arrogant and ferocious massacres and arson that harmed an entire loyal and brave happy mountain village.

There is another sin - Liu Zhengyan, the unscrupulous son of the famous general Liu Fa, also wants to escape punishment, but that guy is on Xihe Road, and he will be arrested when he is killed......

At this moment, Liu Anshi is in his hand, and half of the revenge that has been held back for too long and too uncomfortable can be avenged, the Miao brothers trembled with excitement, and indulged in beating Liu Anshi, who was forcibly dragged away, seeing that this gentleman was arrogant and arrogant and inviolable under his fists and feet, and was inviolable, just like a dog without any bloody backbone, he felt really happy, but he was far from resentment, and hundreds of people died in Miaojia Village, all of whom were innocent and kind old men, hard-working and simple women, and brave and upright heroes...... Brother Miao Zhenglin, who has good skills and is a general, Miao ...... They just died, so badly so suddenly, so wronged, so miserable...... Miaojia Village was wantonly slaughtered by the Western Army's generals, and died tragically, and the felony of collaborating with the enemy in disguised loyalty and Song Min secretly fornicating with the Western Xia, and the lonely widows, children and teenagers in Miaojia Village who escaped the catastrophe were also wanted by the government with a reward...... Don't die........

Just thinking about this, Miao Zhenglong and Miao Tianhu hated it so much that their teeth itched, and they couldn't tear the demon Er Liu alive and drink their blood and eat their flesh.

At this moment, hearing that Liu Yanqing actually had the face to ask and roar with confidence, Miao Tianhu turned around angrily and stared at this once majestic general of the Western Army, who was in power, and sneered and said angrily: "General Liu still has the face to ask why?" Why, you should ask your good son to go. “

"Still in peace? Hehehahahaha...... What is the life of your son? What is he capable of? He specially used your power to bring disaster to the world, right?.If you didn't have some merit in protecting Huaxia, do you think you would still be able to sit and drink and ask me about pirates? For the iniquity of your son, I pirates should kill you all and leave not one behind. Old fellow, be honest, stop making me unhappy by pretending to be a great big man......"
