Rebel?

Changsun Hong's eyes narrowed and he didn't speak.

"I went to Fujian this time, and everything has been arranged." When Lin Laosi talked about recovering the country, he had infinite motivation and excitement, he picked up a chopstick and knocked it on the porcelain bowl: "The Song Dynasty is rebellious, and the sky will not tolerate it!" In the past two years, northern Fujian suffered a famine, and the imperial court not only did not open a warehouse for disaster relief, but still levied taxes and miscellaneous taxes arbitrarily, and the people were miserable and could not go on. There is a strong Fan Ruwei, there is family wealth, there is ambition, and he also has expectations for the old country of the Southern Tang Dynasty, the year before last he entered my Tang Gate, willing to scatter his family wealth, recruit troops and buy horses, just wait for the time to come, he will pull the flag and rebel, I agreed with him that when he raised his troops, it was when I launched Tang Men believers in Lin'an and hunted and killed high-ranking officials of the Song Dynasty. Ha ha! ”

The ambition he said was shining brightly, as if the restoration of the Southern Tang Dynasty was in front of him and within reach.

Cao Bo was also equally happy, he couldn't stop following the progress of Lin Laosi's speech, nodded his head, and when he heard the end, he excitedly raised his hand high, and echoed in a suppressed voice: "Rejuvenate my Southern Tang Dynasty and revitalize my homeland!" ”

The two high-fived each other and congratulated each other.

The pleasant atmosphere echoed in the night air, and even if the courtyard was deep, it could not stop the joy of the two people's long-cherished wishes.

Changsun Hong walked to the door and made a gesture towards the door, Yang Xiaolei, who was standing in the shadows outside the door, nodded silently, and quietly went out, expanding the scope of the dark ghost's warning post.

Returning to the table, Changsun Hong hesitated for a moment, and considered the words in his mind before he slowly spoke.

"Brother Lin, the Tang Sect opened a sect, and the torch has been passed down from generation to generation, and what I have done, I know, it stands to reason that I shouldn't say something to pour cold water on such an unswerving pursuit, but." He accentuated his tone: "The rebellion is not a dinner party, it is not the life and death of you and me, it involves the survival of tens of thousands of people, and the stakes are very high, so you must be careful." ”

Lin Laosi was still smiling, but he also recognized Changsun Hong's words, he nodded: "That's right, we know that rebellion is to lose your head, I am a member of the Tang Sect, I forgot to die for my homeland, and I have long put life and death aside, this life, for the sake of the motherland, is also worth it, in the next year's merit book, there will be martyrs!" ”

Impassioned, nothing more than that.

The eldest grandson pursed his lips, paused, and said: "When the war is together, there is no turning back, Jiangnan will become a Shura field, and the land of fish and rice will become a ruin and a ruined ......"

Lin Laosi looked at him and threw away the chopsticks: "When the country was destroyed, the Song Dynasty burned my century-old foundation of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and now it's not the spring breeze blowing and rebirth?" People's livelihood and people's strength, after the big thing succeeds, tax reduction and recuperation are. ”

"It's just that people's livelihood is ruined, and the lives are poisonous, which is really miserable."

"Those who achieve great things are not informal, for the sake of righteousness, the people of Shengdou have suffered some disasters, it is inevitable, that generation will not succeed in ten thousand bones?"

Speaking of this, Lin Laosi's face had slowly changed color, and his smile had gradually disappeared, and he stared at Changsun Hong in a stiff tone and asked, "Brother Changsun, what do you mean by this?" ”

"It doesn't mean anything else." The eldest grandson Hong met his gaze sincerely, and said sincerely: "I just think that we are all Han people, and at this moment, the Beilu is eyeing the tiger, and it is the time to unite and defend against foreign enemies. ”

"Hehe, so you're worried about this." Lin Laosi laughed twice: "The northern captives are barbarians, what they do is just robbing money and goods, and if they rob enough, they will naturally retreat." Jin Guo has been in the north for so many years, hasn't he beaten it? As long as they are given finances and let them continue to rejoice, when my Tang Dynasty rises, reorganizes the rivers and mountains, and then destroys the country and slaughters its people with the momentum of thunder, it is not too late to take revenge! ”

He probably thought of something, and laughed a few more times: "I, the Tang Sect, have endured it for so many years for the restoration of the country, so why not put up with him for a few years?" ”

The candle standing in the corner of the house, the dim light jumped a few times, and the long wax oil flowed down and formed a mountain in the candlelight.

Changsun Hong walked over, picked up scissors, cut off a section of the blackened lamp rope, and shook his head while cutting: "I'm just afraid of the Mongols, it's different from what you think." ”

"Needless to say, the eldest grandson, this matter is on the way, and it has to be sent!" Lin Laosi looked at his back and said categorically: "Fan Ruwei is in Fujian, everything is ready, and there are generals from all over northern Fujian who are willing to echo it, as long as the banner is raised, all people will follow, fireflies can burn the plains, starlight can shine on the sun, and the glory of the Southern Tang Dynasty will be revived in our hands!" ”

Changsun Hong turned around, looked at Lin Laosi fixedly, and suddenly raised his tone: "Brother Lin, I only want to ask you, you weigh it yourself, which is stronger and weaker than you and Sichuan Wu Xi?" ”

Wu Xi's rebellion was a few years ago, Wu Xi was the son of Wu Jie, the envoy of the Sichuan Gorge Four Roads, who worked in Sichuan for more than ten years, and his henchmen spread all over Sichuan, controlling the military, government and civil affairs of the entire Sichuan.

Unexpectedly, before the forbidden army that went out from Lin'an to quell the rebellion arrived in Sichuan, Wu Xi was pacified by the local generals in Xichuan, and the army of more than 100,000 was torn apart.

Changsun Hong took him out for comparison, and the intention was obvious.

Lin Laosi naturally understood.

"Humph! Wu Xi is for his own selfish interests, and his name is not right, of course, no one helps him, and the people's will is not good, so he will naturally fail. Lin Laosi snorted and retorted: "His failure has been doomed from the moment the incident happened. ”

"Well said! But taking him as a lesson, what about Tangmen on Fujian Road? Changsun Hong walked back slowly, all the way and said: "Fujian was originally barbaric, after the Song Dynasty, it gradually developed, these years relying on shipping and mining, has become the main source of wealth. The silver mines in Fuzhou and the copper mines in Jianzhou are enough to supply the needs of the whole country, and the wealthy merchants along the coast are all over the sea and trade. This is the people's desire. ”

"Second, Fujian is an important town, all the soldiers are stationed, although the soldiers are not strong, but the military salary is sufficient, the military heart is stable, the military weapons are sharp, to deal with the rebellious people's army, it is more than enough, if the troops are insufficient, I am afraid it will be difficult to become a climate, even if it occupies a city and a place, what to do in the future? How to figure out the long term? ”

"Take a step back and say, what if you get Fujian? The Song Dynasty will inevitably gather a large army **** The south will become a piece of rubble, and the northern captives will take advantage of the situation to enter the south of the Yangtze River with the attitude of competing for the profits of the fishermen with river mussels, how do we deal with it? When the time comes, maybe this world will neither return to the Song nor to the Tang. ”

He looked up at the beams, where there was darkness where the light could not be found, and the deep darkness almost swallowed up the light.

"At that time, maybe the rivers and mountains of our Han people will be like this darkness, and there will be no recovery!"

"Perhaps, stop, wait, when the Song court's public grievances are getting deeper and deeper, the corruption is getting heavier and heavier, the contradictions between the civil ministers and military generals are getting bigger and bigger, the emperor's mediocrity is getting worse and worse, and the pressure on the north is not so great."

Lin Laosi's thick eyebrows wrinkled deeper and deeper, and a pair of iron fists squeezed tighter and tighter. What Changsun Hong said made sense, but in his current position, it was impossible to stop.

Stopping, Changsun Hong stood in front of him, sighed deeply, and said, "But, having said so much, I still can't stop your determination, Brother Lin, you treat me with great kindness, no matter what, I will support you!" There are no conditions. ”
