Chapter 146: Back to the Helm
After Wen Xuan arranged all the matters, everyone went to do it separately.
At the strong request of Su Sheng and Fang Guozhen, a feast was held on the island that night, although there were no delicious delicacies, but fortunately, the seafood was abundant and there was a lot of fish and meat, so that the brothers under them feasted on it.
After Tie Niu's statistics, there were more than 300 Ming disciples who wanted to return to Taizhou, and there were thousands of people who were willing to stay on the island to fight against Fang Guozhen to fight against the Yuan soldiers.
For the disciples who were unwilling to stay on the island, Wen Xuan was not reluctant, and after thinking about it, he directly promoted Su Sheng to the master of the tailwater altar, and ordered him to lead everyone to return to Taizhou in batches to redevelop, and it was just right to form a horn with Fang Guozhen on the island and help each other.
After a little rectification on the second day, Wen Xuan and the four of them parted with Fang Guozhen and Su Sheng, and did not bring one more except for the ten disciples of the Discipline Hall.
The situation on Sanssouci Island in eastern Zhejiang has gradually stabilized, but the general rudder of the Ship-Covered Mountain has not stopped.
Dong Junxiao, who was promoted to the Yuan Army's thousand households, searched for the Mingjiao rudder every day under the orders of Kang Liwei, and his hard work paid off.
But the elders in the general helm are not vegetarians either, and after enduring it for so long, they decided to do the opposite and lead the elite in the mountains to take the initiative.
Dong Junxiao's soldiers were already small, and because of the exhaustion caused by the continuous search of the mountains, he was killed and injured by the surprise attack of the disciples of the Ming Sect, and he withdrew from the Shipwreck Mountain Range in embarrassment.
The angry Dong Luxiao naturally refused to give up, and immediately sent a letter to Kang Lilai to ask for reinforcements, but the letter had not yet been delivered, and Saiinchida, who had escaped from Hangzhou, suddenly appeared in his military camp.
Dong Luxiao was inexplicably surprised when he saw him, "But the Prime Minister sent you?" I've almost touched the lair of the Ming Sect demons, just send me another 500 men, and I'll be able to wipe out the thieves' den in one fell swoop!" ”
Sainchi shook his head again and again with a bitter face, and recounted the process of Kang Li's deprivation of military power.
"Although the Prime Minister's official position is still there, he has actually been overtaken by the people of Duo'er's only faction, so you don't have to report your expectations when it comes to sending troops to reinforce it."
Dong Shuxiao became depressed after hearing this, and sat on the chair in a daze for a long time before coming back to his senses, and said abruptly: "Since the prime minister has no military power, then I can only send a letter to the governor." ”
Sai Yin Chi replied and became furious, "Don't forget, it was the Prime Minister who promoted you exceptionally, otherwise how could you be promoted to a major position in the army as a Han Chinese?" Now that the prime minister has not been demoted, you actually want to vote for someone else! ”
The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, although Kang Liwei has no military power in his hands, but after all, he is the prime minister of a province, how dare Dong Junxiao easily offend?
What's more, it is a taboo for officialdom to change hands, Dong Shuxiao sighed again and again after weighing the pros and cons in his heart, and said: "I naturally dare not forget the grace of the Prime Minister's acquaintance, but I have led people to search for more than 100 days before I first see the first clues, is this it?" ”
Sainchi snorted coldly, sneered, and said, "Although the merit of capturing the Ming Sect's chief rudder is great, it also requires a life to receive the merit. That Duo'er is a villain who will be revenged, and now he is racking his brains to wipe out the henchmen of the prime minister one by one, if the news of your defeat is known to him, I am afraid that he will not even be able to sit in the position of this thousand households. ”
Dong Shuxiao smiled bitterly when he heard this, "It's a pity that you are a step late, I didn't know that so many things had happened in eastern Zhejiang, and the news of the defeat had been truthfully reported." ”
Sainchi sighed when he heard this, "In that case, you can only ask for more blessings for yourself, and I hope we will have a chance to meet in the future." After that, he said goodbye to Dong Luxiao and went straight back to his hometown for refuge.
As Sai Yin Chi expected, a few days later, Duo'er only ordered the transfer of Dong Luxiao to the barracks.
After Dong Shuxiao listened to the order, he said that although Duoer Zhiban did not severely punish him for his defeat, he directly transferred him from Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces to Henan and Jiangbei provinces.
Seeing that the overturned boat mountain was close to the end of the road, but there was no one to use under his men, Dong Junxiao couldn't help but become depressed and sick, and fell ill on the way to Henan Jiangbei Province to take up his post, and the siege of the overturned boat mountain was also solved.
Half a month later, Wen Xuan and his entourage finally saw the Shipwreck Mountain Range.
Sheng Wenyu looked at the fallen leaves all over the ground and sighed: "Time flies so fast, it was still midsummer when we left, but now it is late autumn, and it is about to enter winter." ”
Tie Niu echoed: "In the past, when I was in the mountains, I complained about boredom every day, but after going down the mountain and going through so many dangerous tribulations, I realized how rare it is to live a comfortable life in the mountains. ”
"I don't know if Ying'er has grown taller." Mu Chong sighed.
Wen Xuan knew that Mu Chong was thinking of his dead mother, so he patted him on the shoulder and said, "When I go up the mountain, I will accompany you to worship the nurse first." ”
Mu Chong nodded, after getting acquainted with Ah Qi, his temperament has become much more cheerful, not as gloomy as before.
Because Dong Junxiao searched the mountains one after another, the small Fushe Village near the mountain pass was still not rebuilt, and the burned ruins were still left in place.
With Sheng Wenyu and others leading the way, the authorities and obstacles were not a problem, and everyone came to the foot of the overturned mountain with ease.
The villagers of Anle Village were startled when they saw someone entering the mountain, and after careful identification, they recognized them and shouted, "Gongzi Wen, they are back!" ”
After being called, many villagers came out to invite them to their homes, and the quiet foot of the mountain instantly became lively.
"If I'm not mistaken, the last time the mountain was so lively was when Sect Leader Li got married, right?"
"yes, when did a few of us become so popular?"
Wen Xuan was also a little puzzled, he remembered that when he first came here after the burning of Xiaofushe Village, the people in Anli Village were not so enthusiastic.
Sheng Wenyu explained: "How many of the people who live in this shipwrecked mountain don't have a blood feud with the Yuan court? This time, as the Holy Envoy of the Ming Sect, you defeated the Yuan soldiers in Taizhou, which undoubtedly gave everyone a bad breath, and it is not surprising that the villagers have such a reaction. ”
"I see."
A few people chatted about the past while climbing the mountain, and soon reached the top of the mountain.
Because they did not report to the mountain in advance, Wen Xianzhong and the others did not know the day they returned to the mountain, and there was only one boy squatting on the ground at the entrance of the mountain to pick up stones to play.
Mu Chong recognized his younger brother at a glance, and shouted with a smile: "Ying'er? ”
