Chapter 81 The Graceful Youth

I want to be the iron horse Jingo

Leaning on the danger fence and roaring to the sky

Looking at the Central Plains in the distance, outside the barren smoke, many cities.

I want to be back then, the flowers cover the willows, and the phoenix tower dragon pavilion.

Long live the pearls in front of the mountain, and the sheng song is composed in the Penghu Palace.

To this day, the iron ride is full of suburbs, and the wind and dust are evil.

The soldiers are safe, and the anointing is sharp; The people are safe, fill the ravines.

Sigh that the rivers and mountains are the same, and there are few villages.

When will you please raise the Rui Brigade and cross Qingheluo with a whip?

But he returned, continued the Hanyang tour, and rode the yellow crane.

Reciting Yue Fei's poem "Manjianghong - Climbing the Crane Bird Tower", Xin Qiji's various tastes came to his heart. I don't know why, whether everyone in the far reaches of the rivers and lakes is drunk and sober, or whether it is unfounded and worrying about the sky with amazing words. The whole country, indulged in wealth and prosperity, enjoyed peace, and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military were keen to sit and talk about it. Lang Lang Qiankun, the world of flowers, who still wants to think about the golden iron horse, the bloody rain and the bloody things, but no one wants to, no one asks, the country will never be invaded by foreign countries, and the country will be stable for a long time.

Living in the lead mountain, the wind and the moon, his life is not as calm as water. In September of the second year of Qingyuan, he suddenly received an edict from the imperial court, deposing him as a doctor and in charge of Wuyi Mountain Chongyouguan in Jianning Mansion. The reason in the lyrics is not that he imagined that he would befriend the current phase and echo the pseudo-party, but that he was greedy for money and murder in the past, and he was a lot of sorrow. For this reason he neither gives thanks nor justifies, but leaves it to him. In the unique Confucian style, he is tempering his fighting spirit and protesting with silence. This is indeed not the same as those who are confined to personal advances and retreats and competitive spirits, and who spread rumors and slander.

A year later, the imperial court issued an edict to Lead Mountain, reinstated the Xin Qiji Jiying Palace, and was in charge of the post of Chongyouguan in Wuyi Mountain, Jianning Mansion, and the official hat returned. He has also heard about the changes in the political situation in the past few years. The reason for this reinstatement is unknown. He is not concerned about his official position, but about the safety of the country.

Fan Zuliang, who served in Fuzhou, changed his route to visit Xin Xiu.

Seeing this young talent who looked like he was in his prime, and asked him about the past, he couldn't help but think about it.

"The sunset is cold and dusty, and Hu rides to hunt in autumn." More than 30 years later, the sunset and smoke and dust of late autumn still clearly emerge in the mind of Xin Qiji, who is in the age of sixtieth. A short and thrilling period of stormy years, the history books remember the legendary story of this heroic boy.

In September of the 31st year of Shaoxing (1161), Wanyan Liang, the king of Jinhailing, led an army of 600,000 to invade the south, in an attempt to wipe out the Great Song Dynasty, a country with a back to the sea, from the face of the earth. The smoke rose again, the Song army retreated again and again, and the quarry rock in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River became the main battlefield for the two sides to win or lose.

Speaking of this Wan Yan Liang, when he was a teenager, he was ambitious and wanted to do something earth-shattering. He said to himself that he has three major dreams in this life: first, I have the final say on national affairs, second, to lead troops to crusade against other countries, pointing to the nose of the emperor of the defeated country, and third, to snatch the most beautiful woman in the world and fill it into the harem for his lewd pleasure. In fact, he is a tyrant, a pervert, and a war maniac. It is said that he once asked the painter to paint the beautiful scenery of the West Lake in Hangzhou, pasted it on the screen of the dormitory, and personally inscribed a poem:

Thousands of miles of cars and books are all mixed, and there is no other frontier in the south of the Yangtze River.

Raise millions of troops on the West Lake, the first peak of Wushan Mountain.

led his troops south, and Wan Yanliang was full of confidence: within 100 days, the Song Kingdom would be destroyed. Unexpectedly, in Quarry Rock, a scholar Yu Yunwen was ordered to be in danger, and he was caught off guard, and hundreds of thousands of troops failed to cross the river for three months.

A wicked man is his own hell. He led his troops to fight, and a coup d'état occurred in the capital thousands of miles away, and the middle of the army would suddenly rebel, and the Jin army quickly retreated back to the country.

The situation in the Jin Dynasty was turbulent, the army invaded south, the strength of the Central Plains was empty, and many ordinary people took the opportunity to raise troops. Twenty-one-year-old Xin Qiji, who led more than 2,000 horses, also joined Geng Jing's team. Because Xin Qiji was brave and educated, Geng Jing named him the secretary. The rebel army soon captured Yanzhou and Dongping Mansion, with a contingent of more than 200,000 people, and Geng Jing proclaimed himself the envoy of the Tianping Army.

There is a monk named Yiduan, in addition to chanting sutras and reciting Buddha, he also likes to talk about military debates, seeing that the situation of resisting Jin is like a day, he pulled up a team of more than 1,000 people, and under the persuasion of Xin Qiji, he also defected to Geng Jing. However, Yiduan soon escaped and stole the Great Seal of Geng Jingjie's envoy.

The big seal, which symbolizes the authority of the commander, was stolen, and it was returned, Geng Jing couldn't help but be angry, and pointed to Xin Qiji's nose and opened his mouth:

"What kind of friends did you make, kid? It doesn't matter what is good or bad. actually stole my handsome seal, this person was introduced by you, what do you say, don't find the handsome seal, don't blame this handsome ruthless. ”

Xin Qiji was very calm, "Dashuai, don't worry, give me three days, I can't catch this ungrateful guy, you cut off my head." "Then he stepped on the war horse and left.

Xin Qiji knew that Yiduan stole the handsome seal, and he must have gone to Jinying to receive the reward. Sure enough, after chasing for most of the day, Xin Qiji intercepted Yiduan. Yiduan was shocked when he saw Xin Qiji, he knew: Xin Qiji was fierce and abnormal, his strength was infinite, and he was not an opponent at all, so he had to kneel and beg for mercy. Xin Qi was so angry that his muscles jumped, where did he still listen to the nonsense he said, with a wave of the sword, Yiduan turned his head in a different place, searched for the handsome seal, and returned to the Gengjing camp.

Under the planning of Xin Qiji and others, Geng Jing's righteous army captured Jinan, Zizhou and Haizhou, and also cooperated with the Song army to defeat the Jin naval army on Chenjia Island in Jiaoxi, and smashed Wanyan Liang's conspiracy to invade Jiangsu and Zhejiang by water.

The Jin army was defeated and retreated, and the Song Dynasty was unable to counterattack, and the two countries negotiated peace again. While sending troops to suppress the people who rebelled in the Central Plains, the Jin State announced an amnesty decree: All those who revolt and are thieves will not be blamed for the past as long as they leave the cottage, otherwise they will be killed. In this way, the rabble of hundreds of thousands scattered overnight. There were no more than 10,000 people left in Geng Jing's righteous army, and after Xin Qiji's suggestion, he decided to defect to the Song Dynasty.

So Xin Qiji, Jia Rui and other 11 people went to Jiankang, met Emperor Gaozong, heard that tens of thousands of soldiers and horses came to the Great Song Dynasty, Emperor Gaozong was overjoyed, and rewarded all the generals. Geng Jing was awarded the envoy of the Tianping Army, the Zhidongping Mansion and the control of the loyal and righteous military horses of the Jingdong Hebei Road, Xin Qiji was the secretary of the envoy of the Quantianping Army, and the right Chenglang was specially supplemented, and Jia Rui was the Dunwulang and the Marquis of the Pavilion.

Xin Qiji and the others returned, ready to report the matter to Geng Jing. When he arrived in Haizhou, he got the bad news of a bolt from the blue: Geng Jing was killed by his subordinate Zhang Anguo. He couldn't help but be furious, determined to repay the debt with blood, summoned fifty cavalry as a death squad, ran two hundred miles, touched the Jin camp, grabbed Zhang Anguo, who was drinking with the Jin general, rushed out of the encirclement, and shouted: 100,000 Song troops are coming. Many Jin soldiers were stunned and stared. It only took two days and one night to escort the traitor Zhang Anguo to Lin'an, and then publicly execute the traitor.

Speaking of which, Xin Qiji wrote:

In the prime of life, the banner embraced ten thousand husbands, and the brocade rode across the river at the beginning of the year......

It is difficult for heroes to mention the courage of the past, and now they have gray hair and diseases, but the only thing that remains unchanged is a sincere heart.
