Chapter 19: Questioning

When Chen Wen arrived at the threshing floor, there were already more than a dozen people, but he hadn't seen them.

So, Chen Wen took care of himself and found a stone grinding platform to sit down, at this time, Wu Dengke rushed over, and mentioned to Chen Wen that he had a total of more than 40 people, and he would arrive in a while, hoping that Chen Wen could wait for the meeting to start.

After waiting patiently for half an hour, the people were basically there. As for not coming, Chen Wen didn't plan to wait, just treat it as a dinner party. He coughed twice, drawing the attention of the crowd, motioning for everyone to sit down, and ready to speak. Well, however, there are some things that need to be explained in advance.

I saw Chen Wen bow his hand, and then said: "Under Chen Wen, the word Furen, temporarily lives in the east of the village. When I was young, I read history books and occasionally felt something. Nowadays, Hu is fierce, the people have the pain of hanging upside down, and people with lofty ideals sacrifice their lives and forget death in order to rejuvenate the Han family. Yu temporarily lives in Dalan, and tells the heroic deeds of my Han family, in order to inspire people and restore the old land as soon as possible. ”

"Okay." Wu Dengke, who took the lead in cheering, was immediately glared at by Chen Wen, and sat cross-legged.

"In the lower ancestor, he was born as a hereditary military general, and Yu did not dare to insult the wisdom of his ancestors with his storytelling. Therefore, what is said below is recorded in the history books, if you want to listen to the romance, you can get up and go south, there is a storyteller in the restaurant in the town, he is more proficient in this way than in the next. ”

Everyone listened to this unprecedented opening remarks in amazement, but no one questioned it.

"What we are talking about today is the story of King Yue of the former Song Dynasty, taking today as an example, there is no high-level gun and iron pulley, Lu Wenlong picking two and four generals and the like, because it is a fabrication in Yuezhong, and there is no one in the history books. However, Yang Zaixing's bloody battle against Xiaoshang River is a historical fact, and I will talk about it next. ”

The Yue in Chen Wen's mouth is "The Complete Biography of Yue", the full name is "The New Jingzhong Romance and the Complete Biography of the King of Yue", which is a long heroic and legendary novel edited by Qian Cai, a native of Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, and a Guangxi native Jin Feng during the Qianlong period in the middle of the Qing Dynasty.

"Speaking of Yue" has a total of 20 volumes and 80 chapters. The first 61 episodes are Yue Fei's "Hero Genealogy" and "Entrepreneurial History"; The last 19 episodes mainly tell the story of Yue Lei's sweeping north after Yue Fei's death. praised Yue Fei and his soldiers for their heroic battles and loyal deeds to serve the country, and whipped Qin Hui and others for the ugly crimes of betraying the country for glory and framing loyalty.

When Chen Wen was a child, he listened to "The Biography of Yue Fei" by Teacher Liu Lanfang on the radio at his grandmother's house, and his original work was this "The Complete Biography of Yue". He only remembered that the work was more thrilling and heart-wrenching after Liu Lanfang's interpretation, and it was actually very good to stir people's hearts. However, the current storyteller has a low status and does not meet the needs of Chen Wen to recruit strong men, so he only tells stories from history books.

"Mr. Chen, just talk about it, we love to hear whatever you say."

"That is, Brother Wu told us that you are a learned official, not the first to tell stories."

I didn't expect this rough man to have such a meticulous side.

After nodding to Wu Dengke, Chen Wen said: "What I am talking about today is the story of Yue Fei, the former king of the Song Dynasty. Yue Wang's name is Feizi Pengju, born in Tangyin County, Xiangzhou, West Road, Hebei Province, in the second year of Chongning, which is now Tangyin County, Zhangde Prefecture, Henan Province. ”

"Yue Fei was born in an ordinary peasant family, and when he was young, he was a calm and quiet person, and he was often negative. I like to read "Spring and Autumn" and "The Art of War". Speaking of this, Chen Wen paused. There was also a hero in the Three Kingdoms who liked to read "Spring and Autumn", do you know who it is? ”

At this time, a man sitting in the front row said loudly: "Mr. Chen, are you talking about Second Master Guan?" ”

After receiving Chen Wen's affirmative answer, the man immediately won the admiring eyes of the people around him, and he unconsciously sat up straight and listened more carefully to Chen Wen's later words.

"Yue Fei likes to read "Spring and Autumn", and Guan Yu also likes to read "Spring and Autumn", which shows that if you want to become a famous general, you must first read, and reading must be focused, and "Spring and Autumn" is an excellent choice."

As soon as these words came out, the others were fine, but Wu Dengke suddenly asked: "Brother Chen, what kind of book is the "Spring and Autumn" you are talking about, and where can I see it?" ”

Before Chen Wen could answer, he didn't know who suddenly laughed and said loudly: "Brother Wu, you don't know a single big character and still read "Spring and Autumn". It knows you, do you know him? ”

Then the crowd burst into laughter.

"Yin Ergou! Are you itching tightly? With that, Wu Dengke got up and wanted to fight.

Seeing this, Chen Wen first motioned for Wu Dengke to sit down, Chen Wen didn't want to hit him with this inquiring attitude, but he didn't want to say more, because it would affect his next rhythm.

The book "Spring and Autumn" is a chronicle of the Lu State in the Spring and Autumn Period, revised by the Confucian sage, and is one of the Six Classics of Confucianism. I can't remember the specifics, you can ask Brother Sun. ”

"Oh." I saw that Wu Dengke seemed to have really listened to this, and looking at his expression, it seemed that he was also going to go to Sun Yu to borrow the book to read.

I probably thought too much, Chen Wen couldn't help laughing at himself in his heart.

In his early years, Yue Fei studied under Zhou Tong and learned to ride and shoot. Soon Zhou Tong died, and Yue Fei went to worship on the first and fifteenth days of the new year, respecting the teacher and respecting the Tao as a model for future generations. Later, Yue Fei learned from the famous gunner Chen Guang to learn knife and gun techniques, and when he practiced, his martial arts were invincible in a county. ”

"By the way, regarding the question of Yue Fei's mentorship, only Zhou Tong is mentioned in the romance, and it is also said that he and Lin Chong, Lu Junyi, and Shi Wengong are brothers. However, the other three people are just fictional characters in "Water Margin", and this matter is thought to be Mr. Shi Nai'an's use of Yue Fei's martial arts to set off these three people, and they should not be counted. Therefore, the brother is apocryphal. ”

"Ah, I see." The man who had just answered the question suddenly let out such an exclamation. This made Chen Wen begin to wonder if "Saying Yue" had now been written.

In the fourth year of Xuanhe, the Great Song Dynasty formed an alliance with the Jin people to destroy Liao, in order to recover the sixteen states of Youyun that were betrayed by Shi Jingjiao. However, at this time, the Song army had been eroded to an almost hopeless extent, and in the face of the Liao people, who were close to the death of the country, they only ushered in a fiasco with all their might. And this also made the Jin people see the weakness of the Great Song Dynasty, and laid the groundwork for the later southward attack on the Song Dynasty. ”

Here, Chen Wen doesn't plan to talk about the internal contradictions of the Song army, nor does he plan to talk about the later experience of Yelu Dashi, the commander of the Liao army, because this has nothing to do with Yue Fei, and there is no need to waste his tongue for the time being.

"During this period, the Great Song Dynasty recruited brave soldiers in Zhending Mansion as a supplement to the Northern Expeditionary Army, and Yue Fei, who was less than twenty years old but full of ambition to serve the country, was successfully selected with his excellent martial arts and became a team leader."

At this time, there were thieves in the rear, Yue Fei led the troops to attack, and captured the thieves who were in chaos with the plan of ambushing the soldiers, and made great achievements. But this year, Yue Fei's father died, so he rushed back to his hometown to guard filial piety. And this is Yue Fei's first experience in the army. ”

"Two years later, there was a flood near Yue Fei's hometown, and the Yue family had a difficult livelihood.

Speaking of this, Chen Wen's voice began to muffle, because what was coming below was the low ebb of the whole story.

"In another year, the Jin people went south to try to destroy the Song Dynasty, and Song Huizong hurriedly conceded to his eldest son, the later Emperor Qinzong, in order not to be the king of the fallen country, and they were the two of the two saints proposed by Yue Fei during the Northern Expedition."

"That's them." It was the one who answered the question before, and Chen Wen's statement made many people present feel contempt for this Emperor Huizong.

In this year, the Jin people surrounded the Great Song Jingshi Tokyo Bianliang City, and Song Qinzong was forced to sue for peace and cede Taiyuan and other places, so the Jin people withdrew. Then, Song Qinzong repented again. So the Jin people attacked Taiyuan in a big way, and after capturing Taiyuan, they surrounded Bianliang again. ”

"This time, Bianliang City did not have the large-scale Qinwang army as last time, and the Jin people, who were almost the same as the Song army, broke through the city with almost no effort. After the Jin people captured Bianliang, they burned, killed, looted, plundered, and forced the Han people to shave their hair, which is almost the same as today's Manchu Tartars. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone showed anger. How to describe it is not as clear as comparing the examples in front of him, and Chen Wen has no historical materials in his hands, and he is not the emperor of the test, so he can't remember the specific situation at all.

"Yu was very strange in his early years that the Manchu Tartars had to be called Houjin at the beginning, and it was only after reading this history that he understood, no wonder the Tartars had to be like this. Although they are not a clan, they still have a teacher-teacher relationship from the point of view of barbarism. ”

Then, Chen Wen dropped a bombshell.

"On the first day of the fourth month of the second year of Jingkang, after the Jin army plundered a large amount of gold and silver treasures, it took Song Huizong, Song Qinzong, empress, prince, princess, clan, Sun Fu, Zhang Shuye, Qin Hui and several other officials who refused to give in, as well as no less than 100,000 people as their slaves and brought them back to the Jin Kingdom as their slaves."

"Qin Hui?" The crowd's eyes widened in disbelief.
