62. Farewell is not for personal gain?
Chapter 62 Farewell is not for personal gain?
"Miaozhen girl, what did you promise him?" Li Quan couldn't understand what he heard.
"Because there are not enough ships this time, I only sent the rebels in batches." Zhao Ziyue said with a smile: "Are there any people in the army who have ever been craftsmen?" Those who have worked as craftsmen and teenagers and children can be sent there first. ”
"Why?" Liu Quan frowned puzzled, and took the teenager and child away first, which was the proper meaning, but at this time, the status of the craftsman was not high, and Zhao Zi said that he put it on an equal footing with the teenager and child, which made people a little puzzled.
"Fresh water is in ruins, and to resettle these many people, we must first prepare a place for everyone to live and make a living. Nowadays, all the grain in the fresh water is transported by land, and the sea boat built by my master is already busy delivering food, so he cannot afford to send any more utensils, so he can only use local materials. Zhao Ziyue unhurriedly wrenched his finger at Liu Quan: "If there is a carpenter, your beds, tables and chairs can be made by yourself." If there is a potter, you can make your own dishes, cups, and so on...... As long as it is a craftsman, it can always come in handy, my master said, now in Liuqiu, a craftsman is better than a bunch of scholars! ”
The soldiers of the Righteous Army, eight or nine times out of ten, were born in poverty, on the one hand, they admired the scholars' literacy and sentences, and on the other hand, they were inevitably jealous of these literati.
But he immediately reacted: "Who said that you want to move to that stream for fresh water?" ”
Zhao Ziyue looked at Yang Miaozhen with a smile, since he said that sentence, Yang Miaozhen bit his lip and has been in a daze. When Li Quan saw her like this, he was even more uneasy in his heart, and asked: "Miaozhen girl, Miaozhen girl!" ”
"But I don't know who this good man is the fourth lady?" Zhao Ziyue asked slowly.
"I'm the Marshal of the Red Jacket Army!" Li Quan was stunned for a moment.
"It turns out that it's not the fourth lady's brother." Zhao Ziyue's reply made Li Quan even more incomprehensible.
Yang Miaozhen knew that this was said to her, since she responded to Zhao Zi's conditions, then she was a member of the Zhao family, Li Quan and her were not relatives, and the affectionate title of "Miaozhen Sister" could not be called.
She glared at Zhao Ziyue hatefully, put aside the shame in her heart, and regained her spirits: "Brother Li Quan, it was my idea to retreat to Tamsui, and now because of the Hu people's southward movement, the Tartars are unable to take care of the rebel army, and when the Hu people are taken away, the Tartar army will definitely return, what should we do at that time?" ”
"You and I will work together to fight against the Tartar army, and we may not be able to defeat him!" Li Quandao.
"There are few villains in Haizhou City, and even if they win, the rebels will suffer heavy losses. Besides, we have no food and grass inside and no reinforcements outside, the Tartars only need to trap Haizhou, and they can starve us to death if they are hungry. Brother Li Quan, the rebels have taken refuge in us, but because the Tartar Emperor is unreasonable, the officials are greedy and cruel, the Hu people are captive and killed, and they want to follow us to find a way to live, I am a woman, and I don't have so much ambition to make meritorious contributions, just thinking that since these rebels are handing over their lives to me, then I have to think about them! ”
She said this very plainly, but it was loud, and Zhao Ziyue couldn't help but secretly admire it when she heard it. Li Quan was like a bucket of cold water rushing down, and he was stunned for a long time without words.
At this moment, he realized that what he was thinking in his heart was not the same thing as what Yang Miao really thought.
"What a hero your brother was, but you ...... You ......" for a while, Li Quan pointed at Yang Miaozhen, wanting to scold, but swallowed back, sighed and said: "Fourth lady, you don't want to fight again, you should also go south to the Great Song Dynasty, why listen to the deception of this rich man, go to that wild place!" ”
"I've been to the Great Song Dynasty, although the Great Song Dynasty is too peaceful and prosperous compared to us, but it is the rich people who are too prosperous and prosperous, and our poor people who are as bitter as the righteous army, but they just have more food than us." Yang Miaozhen shook her head, and suddenly smiled bitterly: "Besides, Brother Li Quan, if you want to go to the Great Song Dynasty, it is not for the survival of the brothers in the righteous army...... Brother Li Quan, if it weren't for this sentence, or I would have agreed to you, but this sentence, this sentence made me feel sorry for the Dou Bo brothers who died to protect me! ”
"What?" Li Quan didn't expect that the words he used to persuade Yang Miaozhen at the beginning would become the source of the failure. He was stunned, and then he was furious: "You are a woman, you know something, I don't bother to pay attention to you, Uncle Liu, tell me what to do!" ”
Liu Quan frowned sullenly, he was in favor of Yang Miaozhen in his heart, but he was older and more thoughtful, Li Quan was now annoyed and angry, if he directly said that he agreed with Yang Miaozhen, he was afraid that this red jacket army would immediately disperse. The ship sent by Yuzhang Villa can carry up to 2,000 people, and if the gang is scattered, the Tartars will take the opportunity to attack, and the consequences will be unimaginable.
"Marshal Li is not angry, and the fourth lady is not in a hurry." Liu Quan said slowly: "I look at this matter, and I am not in a hurry for one day or two." ”
Zhao Ziyue nodded with a smile on the side, seeing that Li Quan's heart was even more annoyed, he pointed at Zhao Ziyue and shouted: "You Diao slave, we are discussing the major affairs of the military aircraft, and you can also hear it, don't get out of here!" ”
"I originally had a plan to solve the fourth lady and Li ...... Li Tiegun, right? Zhao Ziyue said that his tongue was curled when he spoke, as if he really couldn't remember Li Quan's title: "The best of both worlds, since you don't like to hear it, then I won't talk about it." ”
Liu Quan stopped him and said with a smile: "Why is the housekeeper like this, let's listen to it." ”
"This is also simple, no matter how big my sea ship is, it can't carry away these many rebels at a time, according to the will of my master, first take away the craftsmen, children and teenagers in the army, and the four ladies will follow the past, and also see with your own eyes whether the place where you live in the future is suitable, Liu seniors and this Marshal Li are in Haizhou. In this way, you can attack the city and expand the land, and you can also have a place to live when you retreat, isn't it the best of both worlds? ”
His plan was ingenious, but Li Quan and Yang Miaozhen were moved by hearing it, and if they were so deadlocked, in the end it would inevitably tear the skin and ruin the peace of the righteous army, so it was better to put this matter down for the time being, and the two did not need to be completely consistent.
Especially Li Quan, who was disheartened by Yang Miaozhen's rhetoric, sixty percent of the rebels came to Yang Miaozhen's banner, and if the two really tore their faces, his ambitions would come to naught. On the contrary, if it can be maintained for the time being according to what Zhao Zi said, Yang Miaozhen will only take away some craftsmen and young people, and it will not weaken the combat power of the rebel army, on the contrary, it will reduce the loss of food, which is really beneficial and harmless. Yang Miaozhen and these people went to beg, back and forth to say that it took two months, Liu Quan was old and decrepit, how could he fight with his family for the position of the leader of the righteous army, it would not take more than a year, this red jacket army would all be surnamed Li, who would still be willing to follow Yang Miaozhen overseas?
Thinking of this, Li Quan snorted and said, "What does the fourth lady mean?" ”
Yang Miaozhen took a deep breath and calmed her heart, she originally thought that Li Quan was a hero in the world, but after going to Jiangnan and staying by Zhao Youju's side for a while, she felt that Li Quan was short-sighted. Coupled with Li Quan's words that day, Yang Miaozhen saw through him, and what he never forgot in his heart was only his own reputation and wealth.
As for the young owner of Yuzhang Villa, although Yang Miaozhen doesn't have a good feeling, he has a request after all. Zhao Zi said today's words...... Who knows if the kid told him, isn't the way he looks at his eyes, and isn't it always so hairy? But if you stand on his side and think about it, Zhao Zi's method is really the only way to solve it.
Yang Miaozhen didn't know that Zhao Ziyue followed Zhao Heju and made great progress in seeing people, what kind of character she was and how she would react to things, almost all of which Zhao Ziyue expected. Moreover, Zhao Zi said that he was just a housekeeper, if he really angered Yang Miaozhen and caused the opposite result, then at most he would punish himself severely to appease Yang Miaozhen's anger, so as not to mislead Zhao and Ju's plan.
"Let's do it!" She pursed her lips and glared at Zhao Ziyue again.
Zhao Zi said that his hanging heart was relaxed, and it was great to be able to achieve this result. The reason why he has to pull Yang Miaozhen to Da Lang's side, he has his considerations, as Da Lang gets older, he spends more and more time running outside, relying on Qin Dashi alone, there is always a time when he is not well maintained, and he invites a martial artist outside, how can Yang Miaozhen be so clever, not to mention that Da Lang has some things that he does not want to be known to outsiders, and he must be loyal. The second is what he said to Yang Miaozhen that he needs her to stabilize the heart of the righteous army.
His behavior like this can't be regarded as completely self-made, when Zhao Heju asked him to come, he originally deliberately told him and allowed him to act cheaply.
As for whether he would be hated by Yang Miaozhen, Zhao Ziyue didn't take it to heart.
Since the high-level of the Red Jacket Army reached an agreement, they immediately began to mobilize, and all the craftsmen in the army, except for the blacksmith, were found, and they heard that they were going to go overseas, but most of them were reluctant, but when they learned that Yang Miaozhen took them, they all changed their minds.
"Follow my aunt, even if we are desperate with the Tartars, we are not afraid, let alone crossing the sea, which of us has not crossed the sea?"
It is not wrong to say that at the most difficult time of the Red Jacket Army, almost all the soldiers, including Li Quan, were driven into the sea and had to take refuge on a small island to avoid the limelight.
As for the children, the number was unexpected, and almost all the soldiers who had children in the rebel army in their families tried to send their own children here, and they themselves would rather stay and die with the Tartars than have a way to live. Even Li Quan asked Liu Quan to hand over his nephew Li Rui to Yang Miaozhen, so as to leave a root for his brother who died early. Although the two are almost against each other now, he still trusts Yang Miao's true character.
After arriving three days later, there were as many as 2,700 craftsmen and children and teenagers of all kinds, which was completely beyond Zhao Ziyue's expectations. In fact, there is a trick for Li Quan here, and he sent the rebels loyal to Yang An'er and Yang Miaozhen's sisters in the name of craftsmen.
In the face of the rebels, they all spoke in unison, not saying that they were looking for a way out, but that they were placing these young and old with weak combat effectiveness, and preparing to fight to the death with the Jin people. The rebels didn't know where Liuqiu was located, only that it was an island overseas, and they didn't know how big the island was and whether it could accommodate all the rebels. Therefore, although more than 2,700 people were withdrawn, the morale of the rebel army not only did not drop because of this, but faintly improved.
This is also related to Li Quan's efforts, since he has no intention of marrying Yang Miaozhen to unite the righteous army, he began to use some means to send his cronies out and win over the leaders of the righteous army.
Looking at this scene coldly, Yang Miaozhen and Liu Quan did not stop it, they had no intention of fighting for power with Li Quan, and it would be enough to bring their brothers to Liuqiu safely.
On December 28, the ninth year of Jiading in the Great Song Dynasty, when the New Year was about to close, 1,500 volunteer craftsmen and children bid farewell to their relatives and friends in tears and boarded six sea ships. With the northwest wind, the boat quickly sailed out of Liu Quan's sight, and he stayed on the dock alone, looking out at the empty sea and sky in the distance, and never left for a long time.
Li Quan did not come to send, he used the excuse of preventing the Jin army from sneak attack, and had already left Haizhou City to avoid this moment.
Yang Miaozhen stood at the stern of the boat, also looking at Haizhou City, looking at the red jacket army flag fluttering in the wind at the head of the city, until he couldn't see it, then he wiped away his tears and turned back.
What she saw was the face of Zhao Ziyue, whom she hated very much, and she regretted a little that she didn't pay attention when she got on the boat, and she was on the Zhiyuan with this annoying guy.
"Four ladies, now the wind is favorable, and it only takes four or five days to get to the hanging island." Zhao Ziyue didn't seem to see her white eyes: "My master should wait on the hanging island, how to behave on this road, and ask the fourth lady to show me." ”
"You ......" Yang Miaozhen trembled with anger, but now she knew a little bit of the butler's temper, but the more angry she was, the more proud he would become, so she only said one word and stopped talking. Zhao Ziyue's words were simply asking her for instructions as a housewife, and he was clearly reminding her not to forget her promise.
"Fourth lady, if you go to Liuqiu, you will know why I am so ......" Zhao Ziyue smiled, he didn't plan to continue to defend himself, but thought of Zhao and Julai, if Da Lang learned that he had accepted Yang Miaozhen for him without authorization, he didn't know what to do with him.
"I don't know why you're like this, but you're just faithful to the Lord." To his surprise, Yang Miaozhen opened his mouth to answer. glared at him again, Yang Miaozhen continued: "You are a real villain, so you spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and I am the kind of person who has no responsibility!" ”
"Just in case......" Zhao Ziyue didn't expect Yang Miaozhen to be so straightforward, and smiled bitterly again.
"I'm that kind of ungrateful person!" Yang Miaozhen still said hatefully.
"I can trust the four ladies, but I can't trust the rest of the rebels." Zhao Ziyue looked around, saw that no one was around, and said in a low voice: "It's the fourth lady's own family, can you say that everyone in the righteous army is credible?" ”
Yang Miaozhen was still about to argue, but Zhao Ziyue waved his hand: "Fourth lady, you will understand if I only say one thing, I asked when I got on the boat, but among the more than 600 craftsmen who accompanied the ship this time, there was not a single blacksmith." Fourth lady, why do you say this? ”
Yang Miaozhen was speechless for a moment, Li Quan held on to the blacksmith, but because the blacksmith could make blades, he wanted to stay for the use of the righteous army, in the final analysis, it was for his selfishness.
"Everyone has selfish desires, and my master once said to me that there are few saints and many mortals in the world, and all men have selfish desires. I thought that in order to prevent this selfish greed from turning into a disaster, I had to use extraordinary means, and I asked the four ladies to forgive me if I offended. Zhao Zi said again.
Yang Miaozhen was silent for a long time, and only said coldly when Zhao Ziyue left: "Since everyone has selfish greed, what about you, don't you have selfish greed?" ”
Zhao Ziyue stopped and looked back, and smiled slightly: "I naturally have it." ”
