Chapter 2 "The building will fall unstoppable, and our juniors will turn the tide"
Chapter 2 "The building will fall and no one will stop us and other juniors to turn the tide"
At this time, it is the rainy season in the south of the Yangtze River.
The light rain shrouded the entire Jiangnan in clouds and mist, adding a little more to the beauty of the southern part of the Yangtze River.
There are few Su Mansion families, except for Dao Chang Xuanjizi, the guard Duan Sandao, the housekeeper Fu Bo and a few subordinates, there is no one else. Although it is a well-known general's mansion, Su Zhen has been in the army for half his life, and his son and daughter-in-law have all died on the battlefield, leaving only Su Hua.
A week has passed since the death date issued by Emperor Renzong.
Su Zhen's funeral also came to an end.
Renzong did not disappoint him, and a piece of paper in the court gave him a place to stand. Although it seems that the young master of the General's Mansion now has the power of Jiangnan soldiers and horses in his hands. Under the current circumstances, if something happens to Datang, then he will also embark on the road of displacement. He was in the prison library, and the history books he read were not a passing thing.
Su Hua thought with his head bowed under the eaves of the courtyard
What his future path should be, and where will he go?
Whether he can return to his original world or not, the future is bleak.
The waning moon hung high, and the rain became heavier and heavier.
At this time, a huge figure stood behind him, holding up an oil-paper umbrella for him.
Su Hua hesitated again and again but shouted: "Uncle Duan." β
At this time, he could not show his feet, and Su Hua's naturally cautious nature could not be changed. If it is known that he is a person who has crossed over, I am afraid that he will be arrested as a nervous patient. Since God intends to let him live again, why don't he rely on his own ability to make some great achievements.
After fusing the memories of his own Su paintings, he also learned about Duan Sandao's loyalty.
Duan Sandao is an orphan picked up by Su Zhen on the battlefield, and his real name is bad.
The day Su Zhen picked it up, it was July 14, and the ghost door was wide open. It is an ominous day recognized by the people of the Tang Dynasty, and in order to overcome its evil spirit, he taught a strong horizontal knife technique, so it is called three knives. Therefore, Duan Sandao was the same loyalty to Su Zhen or Su Hua, and Su Zhen's last words were to let him assist the young master.
"Young lord, mourn. The weather is a little cold, and your body is just right..."Duan Sandao is such a man who looks rough, but he has a gentle heart for the people around him. This man who values love and righteousness is also an indispensable backbone of Su Hua's future cause.
Su Hua looked down at the small puddles on the ground and asked lightly.
"Did Uncle Duan blame me, instead of taking revenge, he persuaded His Majesty to withdraw his troops?"
"The young master is a wise man who knows more. The young master has the plan of the young master, and my old Duan is a rough man, and whatever the young master says is what it is. β
"Uncle Duan, go out first, I'll be alone for a while."
"Young master, your body is just right, the old way of the bull nose says that it is not appropriate..."
"I know my body, go ahead."
Duan Sandao looked back at Su Hua in three steps, for fear that he would do something stupid.
After a long time, Su Hua raised his head to look at the sky in the distance, and he didn't know what he was muttering.
Time slowly slipped away at my fingertips, two weeks later.
The small attic in the backyard of the Su Mansion, which was originally used to display books. If Su Hua wants to understand the history of this world, he often comes to read. This came and went, and Su Hua lived in the study. The small courtyard is very large, with ponds, pavilions, and playgrounds. In the center of the courtyard is a huge maple tree, and the antique architecture makes Su Hua very fond of it. No one knew his origin, there were no binding rules, and then he simply sent his subordinates to transform the small pavilion into his own dormitory, named it: Listening to the rain pavilion.
The small building is divided into three floors, the first floor is for the living room, the second floor is for rest, and the third floor is for books.
In the past two weeks, Su Hua has also gained a general understanding of the world. The people in the house have no doubts about him, the young master who has taken away the house, usually Su Hua's life is to keep the spirit and read books, and going out is just a formality, after all, now that the power is in hand, he should meet his subordinates and be familiar with the officialdom process in the future.
The affairs of the army, Su Hua, handed over the power to Duan Sandao, after all, this area is familiar to everyone, and it is better to add less chaos before he is familiar with this aspect. I put a hundred hearts on Duan Sandao, and in the future life, it is the loyalty of the second master. I also learned more or less about another person from the memory of the original owner, Dao Chang Xuanjizi doesn't like words, his only hobby is drinking, and his medical skills are superb.
Su Hua once asked Duan Sandao if he had a chance of winning against Shang Xuanjizi. Duan Sandao scratched his head honestly and replied that it was only forty percent, it was really God's favor to send himself a loyal guard, not to mention that there was also a martial arts master.
At noon, the rain in Jiangnan was clear.
Listening to the first floor of the Rain Pavilion, Su Hua stood in front of the sand model and didn't know what he was thinking.
The sword eyebrows are starry, and the hairpin is holding the long hair. It doesn't look like Pan An, but it can be regarded as a little handsome.
is only seventeen years old, but his body is already one meter seven tall, and his skin has been tanned copper after so many years with the army. Wearing filial piety clothes, the Tang Dynasty has a polite system, and the son must wear plain clothes and keep filial piety for one year for his parents. But Jiangnan can't be left without an owner for a day, the emperor still pardoned the appointment of officials, and other Su paintings have to follow the rules.
Behind him is a map of the Jiangnan area, and Xuanjizi is lying under the window basking in the sun, exuding a smell of alcohol on his body. This sand model was built according to the terrain of the surrounding area, and now he has military power and memories of his previous life, so he still has a lot of military experience.
Last week, news came that Datang and Liao had made peace and signed a five-year contract without fighting. The Liao State and the Tang Dynasty officially launched trade exchanges, and the Tang Dynasty, which had been fighting for many years, finally ushered in a short period of peace.
Su Hua looked at the model thoughtfully, and the Liao Kingdom in the north was quiet.
On the other hand, the Xixia area has been about to move recently, and Jiangnan and Xixia are only separated by one shore.
The rear of the south of the Yangtze River is the Hangu Pass, the Yanmen Pass, after the two passes then the Kyoto Chang'an, this place can be regarded as a plain area, if the south of the Yangtze River is broken, the enemy army does not go to the capital in three days.
The south bank of the south of the Yangtze River is a land of barbarians, and the barbarian tribes rarely fight, but there are many Liukou tun stationed in the surrounding sea counties, and often loot merchant ships from the south to the north, which is the first headache for Su Hua now.
If the trade economy can't get up, what will he, the major general of Jiangnan, do to defend against foreign enemies.
The general has just arrived, everything is in ruins, and comrades still need to continue to work hard.
While Su Hua was pondering, Duan Sandao hurriedly ran in.
"Young master, something is wrong!"
Su Hua looked at Duan Sandao, who looked flustered, and Su Hua collected Yunyou's thoughts: "Uncle Duan said slowly, why are you so flustered?" β
"The flood is serious, the imperial court can no longer control it, and now the victims have poured into the Tang states. Now nearly 10,000 victims have gathered outside the city of Jiangnan, and local officials are discussing how to make a decision at the head of the city. β
This news came at an inopportune time, and Su Hua had also thought about the lake and mountain flooding. Even if the imperial court doesn't handle it well, it won't come so quickly, but I didn't expect that in just two weeks, nearly 10,000 disaster victims were displaced to Jiangnan.
"You didn't let the victims into the city, did you?"
"No, without the order of the young master, no one dares to overstep his authority."
There are three states in the south of the Yangtze River, Yangzhou, Suzhou, and Xuzhou; The highest official in the states is Taishou.
Su Hua is a Jiangnan general, and he took over Su Zhen's army and has the most power.
Su Hua couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but fortunately he didn't make a mess for himself. If the victims enter the city, it will not only cause riots, but if the victims carry the virus, it will spread wantonly.
Power is such a good thing,
"Uncle Duan, you quickly go and let the Jiangnan defender camp lead three thousand men and horses to the city gate, remember that you must be fully armed!" There are a large number of people to avoid riots, and bringing weapons can avoid a lot of unnecessary chaos.
"Go and ask Fu Bo to bring all the langzhong, craftsmen and the heads of the major restaurants in the city to go to the city gate to wait for orders, and by the way, ask people to prepare horses."
"Whoa!" Duan Sandao received the order and walked quickly to the door.
Looking at the back of Duan Sandao leaving, Su Hua also hurriedly put on the silver armor on the side. Covered outside the filial piety clothes, this is not that Su Hua is afraid of death, but the instinctive reaction of the body; And he hung his sword on his waist.
After Su Hua finished it, he shouted at the window.
"Dao Chief, wake up, it's time to do something."
Xuanjizi muttered in response and stood up slowly.
Although he was drunk and frivolous, Su Hua knew that Xuanjizi was very sober.
The two of them walked out of the palace at a brisk pace, mounted the horse prepared by Fauber, and ran quickly towards the city gate.
Su Hua didn't know how to ride a horse in his previous life, which he found out inadvertently, not only knew some equestrian archery but also knew a little bit about martial arts, and after fusing his memory, he found that the original owner had some skills, and he was worthy of being the young master of the General's Mansion.
After about a stick of incense, the two of them arrived at the city gate, and from a distance, the people surrounded the city gate. Everyone was looking forward to seeing the victims outside the city, and the crowd was also noisy.
I only heard an officer and soldier shouting: "The major general is here, the idle people must not make noise, retreat three feet, and get out of the way." β
The people still wanted to see the appearance of the major general, but they were pushed away by the officers and soldiers without saying anything. Looking at the rather threatening bright silver spearhead, he still retreated with great interest and opened a wide road, allowing Su Hua and Xuan Jizi to go away.
On the top of the city tower, Su Hua arrived with Xuanjizi resolutely.
"The next officer will meet the major general."
Many officials bowed their hands, although Su Hua was young, but the officials crushed people to death, and these etiquettes were still indispensable. Su Hua waved his hand and motioned for them to be excused. He had seen them all, and he remembered many of them.
Looking at the black and oppressive victims outside the city, Su Hua couldn't help but tremble. How could he not be moved to see so many displaced people. He has experienced the feeling of being displaced, so he must save this group of victims.
He swore that he would never let the misery of his previous life reappear in this world.
Su Hua stood condescending in the city tower and shouted at the disaster gate under the city: "Quiet, please be quiet!" β
But how could his voice alone drown out the pleading voices of nearly 10,000 victims, and the officials beside him all had a hint of a lively sneer. They don't know how many times they shouted, and the victims in the city were indifferent, and it would be too naΓ―ve for you, the young general, to want them to calm down as soon as they came.
Su Hua looked at the officers and soldiers around him who were still carrying bows and arrows on their backs, and then said: "All officers and soldiers listen to the order: open the bow and shoot the arrow!" β
The officers and men were stunned for a while, thinking about whether the major general wanted to shoot this group of victims.
"What are you doing? Do you want General Ben to do it himself? Su Hua shouted, and the officers and soldiers began to unhurriedly unfold.
"I want you to shoot three meters in front of the victims, and you must not harm the victims, and if you are shot, you will not be spared!"
Just when everyone was puzzled, Su Hua waved his hand and signaled to shoot. Hundreds of arrows were shot in front of the victims like ****, and they were just a few meters away from death. All the victims were frightened by the sudden incursion, and everyone looked at the castle tower in silence.
"Be quiet, people, and listen to me. I am the major general of Jiangnan..."Su Hua was interrupted before he could finish speaking.
"Who believes such a young young general!"
"That's right! I don't think you Jiangnan want us to go in! β
"It's all the people of Datang, why don't you let us in!"
There was another cacophony of shouts.
"Bow and arrow!" Su Hua roared, and in a few breaths, the officers and soldiers set up their bows and arrows again. Su Hua added: "They are shouting and shooting them to make an example!" β
This sound shocked the victims, looking at the situation of the city tower on the string, they all looked at each other and did not dare to risk their lives.
"The general knows about your situation, so don't worry. I know that you are the people of Datang, and I also know what kind of pain you have experienced. β
"General, you know everything, why don't you let us into the city?" An emaciated man in the city interrupted Su's painting.
"You have gone through several twists and turns, and it is not yet known whether you are loyal or traitorous, and letting you into the city will only disturb the order of the people. Besides, I believe that many people are suffering from serious diseases, and if they are not treated in time, I am afraid that the disease will overflow, and what will happen to the innocent people in Jiangnan when the time comes. β
"What the general means by his words, isn't he going to accept us?"
"That's right! Checkmate! We are also innocent people, general, just open the net! β
"Quiet and quiet! Dear fathers and fellow villagers! Su Hua pulled his throat and shouted, "The craftsman I have arranged, Lang Zhong still has food, the craftsman will build a temporary shelter for everyone, and Lang Zhong will also treat the patient." Please line up and check for illness one by one. If you pass the inspection, you will go to get food, and we will do our best to arrange temporary accommodation for everyone, I hope you all settle down and don't mess around, okay? But I only have one condition, if I dare to break into the city gate, I have long eyes, but the knife does not have eyes, and human life is only once, I hope you will do what you can. β
Looking at the crowd under the city, there was no more riot.
Bow first and then soldier, try unpleasantly, the ancients did not deceive me.
"If you have no objections, please line up and let me wait to go out of the city for treatment."
Seeing the refugees lining up in an orderly manner, Su Hua breathed a sigh of relief. Turning his head, he shouted to Duan Sandao under the city tower behind him: "Uncle Duan, let the army go out to stabilize order, remember not to hurt the people until the critical moment!" All Langzhong must treat every citizen, and must not be careless. The person in charge of the restaurant will take the trouble to prepare steamed buns and porridge shops and distribute them to the refugees. All these expenses have been settled in Jiangnan Mansion, and you will open the city gate without any opinion! β
Before everyone agreed, Su Hua gave an order.
With the opening of the gates, the army rushed in and stood by under the tower, and all departments acted in an orderly manner.
"Major General, this rescue of the victims will cost 10,000 taels of silver, and Jiangnan Mansion Yin doesn't have much silver anymore." Jiangnan prefect Yue reminded with different handrails.
"Governor Yue?" Su Hua glanced at him coldly: "I heard that you married a concubine a month ago, and held a banquet in Qingfeng Residence, how can you say that you have to spend a few hundred taels of silver, right?" β
"What does this mean, Major General?"
"I heard that Your Majesty loves the people like a son, and he hates the officials very much. I don't know if I'm going to fold this one? Lord Yue's head...."After Su Hua finished speaking, Yue didn't sweat coldly, Su Zhen was not in the Jiangnan days, but he, the prefect, was greedy for a lot of silver behind his back.
"The major general is sympathetic to the people's feelings, and his subordinates should also share the general's worries. The subordinates are willing to donate 3,000 taels to help the refugees, and hope that the major general will accept it. Yue Wei knelt on the ground after speaking, and his tone was as generous as he wanted.
"Hey, Lord Yue, don't say that" Su Hua hurriedly helped him up: "Lord Yue is my famous Daqingtian in the south of the Yangtze River, maybe General Ben is wrong, I think this excerpt, it should be written that Lord Qin's good son has been molesting women on the street recently." β
"My subordinates are willing to donate 1,000 taels to help the refugees, and I hope the major general will see it."
"Subordinates too."
"And subordinates."
Looking at these few people who were thieves, Su Hua smiled secretly in his heart. These materials that Duan Sandao collected are now coming in handy. Officialdom is commonplace, if Su Hua investigates all these people, then the order in Jiangnan will be really chaotic. If you want to be a corrupt official, you have to be a traitor.
"All of you love the people like sons, and you are all the pillars of my Tang Dynasty.
"Solving problems for Your Majesty and for your lords is all within the responsibility of the ministers, and the major general is serious."
"Then please work together in the future, Lord Yue is responsible for the food in the restaurant, the diagnosis and treatment will be handed over to Lord Qin to supervise, and the craftsman will entrust the construction of the house to Lord Lian, if there is any accident, the sword on the general's waist has not seen blood for a long time."
"The subordinates must live up to the expectations of the major general."
Seeing the palpitations of several people, Su Hua walked down the city tower quickly, and Xuanjizi followed closely.
The first officialdom confrontation Su Hua won a full house, this dismount made everyone have a kind of worry, this seventeen-year-old young general is really worthy of the general's tiger, and they may have to be careful in the future. Without further ado, this little farce ended in this way.
The news of Su Hua's rescue of refugees spread far and wide, and the people in Jiangnan City undoubtedly did not talk about it after dinner.
Some are optimistic, some are not; Some say that the major general is righteous and thin, and some say that he can't do it himself, anyway, there are different opinions.
And Su Hua's original intention is just to make a redemption for his soul.
Jiangnan in the evening.
Su Hua cooperated with Duan Sandao to inspect the rescue situation outside the city, and Xuan Jizi was sent to help the sick. He, the miracle doctor, is a bit of a waste of talent.
The methodical rescue plan is slowly improving, and there are really a few people who are not afraid of death to break into the city, but unfortunately they died under the spear, and no one dares to underestimate which major general after that, he really dares to do it. There is no warning without death, and Su Hua doesn't want human life to happen, but compared to riots, bloodshed is inevitable, and Su Hua can only comfort himself in this way.
Seeing the refugees living in simple shelters, Su Hua couldn't help but sigh that this Lian adult still has some skills.
Although it was only a few pieces of wood put up and cloth to shelter from the wind and rain, fortunately, the quilts and food had been arranged, and the bitterness was a little harder, but fortunately, the mood of the refugees gradually stabilized.
