Chapter 25: The Oath

The fourth day of September. New Cai Longkou.

Longkou was originally known as Jiulongkou. It is rumored that in ancient times, the area around Jiulongkou was a Ze country, and the heavens sent nine dragons to govern it, and then nine rivers became nine. And Longkou is where Kowloon meets. The waterway transportation is developed, and it can be regarded as a prosperous place.

However, now there is a war in Henan, and the taxes and miscellaneous taxes have made this place very depressed, but tens of thousands of troops have gathered here, making this place have a strange prosperity.

What is thriving is also the skin and meat business.

"Brother Douwang, how are you doing?" Fu Zonglong greeted him with a laugh. Douwang is Yang Wenyue's word.

"Junior, meet Mr. Yunzhong." Yang Wenyue respectfully saluted Fu Zonglong, was pulled up by Fu Zonglong, and said: "My generation is a minister in the same hall, so don't be so polite." ”

In the clouds is Fu Zonglong's number.

Yang Wenyue's official position is not much different from Fu Zonglong's, Fu Zonglong is the governor of Qin, and Yang Wenyue is the governor of Bao. Fu Zonglong also has a trilateral general title, which is higher than Yang Wenyue, and Yang Wenyue is even farther away in terms of department name, Yang Wenyue is a jinshi in the Apocalypse period, but Fu Zonglong is at the level of a heavy minister in the Apocalypse year.

Therefore, as soon as Yang Wenyue saw Fu Zonglong, he put on a junior appearance and listened to Fu Zonglong's orders.

Of course, Fu Zonglong also knows that face is given to each other, and politicians at their level represent a large group of people behind them, and it is impossible for them to give in for the sake of fame. This is just to show a respectful attitude, if the following things, are hello, I am good, then everyone is naturally happy. But if Fu Zonglong excessively encroached on Yang Wenyue's power, Yang Wenyue also had the means to counteract.

The two exchanged pleasantries, and talked about the scenery of Sichuan for a while, one of them had served in Sichuan for a long time, and the other was a Sichuan himself, so there were endless topics.

After the two sides ordered tea, they knew that the polite words were finished, and it was time to get down to business.

"Douwang." Fu Zonglong said: "When I left Beijing, the saint confessed and asked me to specialize in thieves. You have fought the most thieves on the ground in Henan, what do you think should be done with the situation now? ”

As soon as Yang Wenyue heard this, he knew that Fu Zonglong was just polite, otherwise he would not have come up to point out the meaning of the saint. Since I have said the holy meaning, can I still fight with you?

"Juniors listen to sir." Yang Wenyue said.

Fu Zonglong said: "Dou Wang, you and I are both important ministers of the country, you and I both know what the country has reached, on the ground in Henan, except for the county seat, it is almost not the land of the Ming Dynasty, there are liukou, there are local bandits, and even powerful families build cities to defend themselves." If it is allowed to continue, the situation in Henan will be almost out of control, and the saint will pay taxes to the whole country and do this thief. Once the thieves are pacified, they are exempt from taxes and rest with the people. Then there is still something to be done in the world, how Zuo Liangyu has defeated the thief. The weight of the country is on the shoulders of you and me, and everyone in the world is watching us do what we do to be thieves. ”

Yang Wenyue secretly said in his heart: "Sure enough, it's the rumored stinky temper, can this also be said by the ministers?" He didn't know how to pick up the stubble at all, and asked directly: "Dare to ask Mr. Ping's thief strategy?" ”

Fu Zonglong said: "Now that I am only a hundred miles away from the thief, I want to reward the three armies, motivate the soldiers, and attack them in a hurry?" ”

Yang Wenyue said: "In this way, is it too reckless? Isn't the most common thing thieves use to ambush officers and soldiers with rout? ”

"In the world, is there anyone who does not fight the thief, chases the thief, and the thief destroys himself?" Fu Zonglong said: "The official army and the thief, the momentum is not incompatible, there will be a battle, the potential is either in me, or in the thief, and if it is boiling today, the people are like fish swimming in the kettle, waiting for death in vain. How can we be held back by a few worries? And the thief's strength is still weaker than that of the official army, so he only needs to catch up, and fight with dignity, so why not be afraid of the thief. ”

Yang Wenyue's heart moved, and he said secretly: "This old man has the intention of dying with the thief. ”

Yang Wenyue guessed correctly.

In Fu Zonglong's heart, the situation in the world has reached the extreme, and the situation of Ding Revolution may occur at any time, so Fu Zonglong seems that the top priority is to rest with the people, let the people live in peace, and pay light taxes. And it's all built on the elimination of the rogues.

He would rather be buried here with the Qin army and the security soldiers. As long as you can destroy the thieves. It's worth it, too. But not everyone has the same thoughts as Fu Zonglong.

At least Yang Wenyue is not.

But Yang Wenyue's official position is not as good as Fu Zonglong's, and his name is not as good as Fu Zonglong's, and the righteousness made Fu Zonglong stand still, and he didn't know how to refuse for a while, so he was forced by Fu Zonglong to agree. said that he would swear an oath tomorrow and attack the rogue.

As soon as Yang Wenyue went out, he was blown by the wind, and Ji Lingling shivered, although the autumn wind was a little cold, but it was not like this.

"Fu Zonglong does things, he actually leaves no room for anything, if he wins, it's okay, if he loses, won't he even have to clean up the mess. No, I have to make some arrangements first, and I will lose before I win. Yang Wenyue's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a fine light, thinking that he had a plan, and immediately called Hu Dawei over. So, so, the arrangement went on.

"Knock knock." More than a dozen big men beat this bare-chested. The muscles of his whole body bulged, and he picked up the drumstick and smashed it heavily on the human-height drum. In the sound of drums, countless soldiers lined up in the field, first the Qin army, and then the security soldiers. However, from the point of view of military appearance, the Qin soldiers are better than the security soldiers.

It took a while for the drum to stop, and for a moment there was silence.

Fu Zonglong stood on a high platform in armor, his eyes patrolled the whole army, and for a while there was a sense of excitement that he had not seen for a long time, he was well-informed, and there were many things that could make him excited, but looking at these young faces, Fu Zonglong's heart was surging for a while.

"How long has it been since you guys came home?" No one thought that Fu Zonglong's first sentence was actually this.

There was a big man who spread Fu Zonglong's voice far away, but there was no sound above the school field, and the soldiers below didn't know what to say?

"What's home like now?" Fu Zonglong continued to ask.

Several big men shouted out again, and for a while, on the school field, only these big men echoed this sentence loudly.

I don't know where it came from, the sound of crying, for a while, there was a faint sound of crying on the school grounds.

"What's going on?" He Renlong said to Li Guoqi beside him: "With such morale, how can you still fight?" ”

Fu Zonglong said: "If you don't say it, I know it." Since the Liukou raised the army, Shaanxi has been thousands of miles away, and I don't know how many people have died in the thieves' rebellion, and I don't know how many people have died in the famine, including your relatives and friends. This is all because of the rogues, looting everywhere, there is no one in the place, thousands of miles of fertile land in Guanzhong, only the soldiers are left, Henan thousands of acres of grain fields, burned and plundered, you and so on in order to level the thieves thousands of miles to fight, sometimes in Shu, sometimes in Henan, sometimes in Huguang, sometimes in Hebei, the world is so big, almost all run over, but can not go home. But now it's all over. The thief has been defeated by General Zuo. The corpse capital doesn't know where it has gone, and there is only the biggest stream of rogue gangsters in front of us, the thieves, as long as the thieves are destroyed, we can go home. ”

"Bring it." Fu Zonglong said.

Boxes of silver were brought up, and this was all the military expenses in Fu Zonglong's hands. Fu Zonglong first asked the guards to carry the silver through all the formations, and then said: "Today's salary, ten taels per person, no discount, all lined up on the school field to receive it." Destroy the thieves. The world ---- peaceful. ”

"Destroy the thieves, and the world will be peaceful." I don't know which one of the soldiers was the first to shout. There was an immediate ripple effect.

"Destroy the thieves, and the world will be peaceful."

"Destroy the thieves, and the world will be peaceful."

In the midst of shouting, all the East Yen Yin Road was distributed.

Many of the problems of the Ming Dynasty are the problems of silver, and as long as the silver is in place, most of the problems can be solved. After the payment of the salary, all the soldiers were demoralized for a while.

"Report." One of the scouts said, "The thieves have built a pontoon bridge upstream and are ready to cross the river." Go to Runing. ”

"These thieves are really anxious to die." Fu Zonglong was wearing a helmet at the moment, but the white hair peeked out from under the helmet from time to time, which showed that his master was an old man who was drooping.

"Sortie." Fu Zonglong gave an order, and the army marched out.
