Niu Gao did not refuse Yu Yin's invitation.

Since I joined Tokyo last year, I have not had to worry about food and clothing, but I have not achieved anything so far. How can this be endured for Niu Gao? You must know that Niu Gao in history is not the character in "Speaking Yue" who is like "Speaking Tang". He was already more than ten years older than Yu Yin, nearly forty years old. Mind and ability, is at the peak of the state, although it can endure loneliness, but unwilling.

Speaking of Yueli, Niu Gao is smaller than Yue Fei and is a rough man.

But in history, Niu Gao was a well-versed article classic, although he did not gain fame, his background was not too bad, and he belonged to a wealthy family. Just look at the double mace he used, made of pure gold, you can see how solid his family was at the beginning. It was only later that he encountered a disaster, his family road was dilapidated, and he refused to abandon his fellow villagers, so he became the king of the mountain on the road.

Now Niu Gao, Liu Qing dredged, and made a general Yu Hou in the front of the palace.

It's just that he doesn't have a single soldier under him, just a bare-bones commander. It's not that Liu Qing is unwilling to exert his strength, but he also has Yuyin's responsibility.

Last year, he assassinated Li Guanyu, and by the way, he revealed the news on the side of Emperor Maode, saying that there were spies in the forbidden army. Although Zhao Fujin did not vigorously rectify, he strengthened the management of the forbidden army through his own connections. Like Niu Gao, a newly promoted Yu Hou, the front division of the palace will naturally not be reused. So much so that although Niu Gao became an official, he had nothing to do at home all day.

After getting Yuyin's invitation, Niu Gao agreed to go to Mu Camel Gang without saying a word.

And Yu Yin is not too worried about Niu Gao's ability.

Because he knew that before Niu Gao defected to Yue Fei, he was already the assassin of Xingzhou and the commander of the Chinese army. If you don't have real skills, how can you do that position? However, today's Niu Gao. Clearly, it is not yet the height of history. But being a general is more than enough. Yu Yin even felt that Niu Gao's ability was a few points stronger than Dong Xian.

After the roster is presented to the front of the temple. Yu Yin also breathed a sigh of relief.

On August 18, Emperor Huizong issued an edict to depose Hangzhou Yingfeng Bureau, and Li Ze, the governor of Hangzhou, followed suit. Transferred back to Kaifeng.

Within a few days, Emperor Huizong issued an edict again to disband the soldiers and horses of the Ying Feng Bureau.

It's just that the edict came out, and Dong Xianniugao and others received the edict of the palace secretary and went from Tokyo to Mutuogang to camp.

On August 26, Yu Yin led the military order of the former division of the palace, except for the commander of the Mu Camel Gangzhai, and the rank ratio was from the sixth grade.

After this order was issued, it did not cause an uproar. But there was also a lot of discussion in the court. Of course, Li Bangyan and the others remember Yuyin! When he started the Great Song Times Weekly, how much trouble did he bring to them? Although time has passed, Li Bangyan and others. Still can't let go. It's just that. This kind of thing, but it is inconvenient for them to stand up and comment.

Dignified Dazai. How could the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty compete for this military attache who is only from the sixth grade.

But if they don't jump out, naturally someone will still jump out and speak for them.

"Yu Yin was only an eighth-rank military attache before, how could he be promoted to three levels in a row all of a sudden, and become a commander from the sixth-rank? I'm afraid of discord with etiquette. ”

The imperial historian of Baitai immediately jumped out to speak.

thought that Gao Yu would take care of their face and withdraw this military order.

But he didn't want Gao Yu to reply: "The Mu Huogang military village is set up by the front division of my palace, who is used by the front division of the palace, and he has his own official to bear it, what do you have to do?" Now the thieves are rampant, and they don't think about how to retreat from the enemy, but they are noisy in this hall for a military attache from the sixth grade, and they really don't know the severity. The official thinks that Yu Xiaoyi is quite talented and enough to take on this role. ”

Since Gao Yu became the former lieutenant of the palace, he has been very low-key.

When the official was impeached, he was also smiling and never angry.

Who would have thought that he would openly sweep the face of Baitai Yushi in the main hall for the sake of Yu Xiaoyi, who was born as a butcher. ..., although the imperial historian Qin Hui did not come forward, but in his heart, he was somewhat unhappy.

At this time, Emperor Huizong was having a headache for the Jin people, and where did he have the spirit to care about a mere commander.

Gao Yu is the person he trusts, although Yu Yin is not liked by Emperor Huizong, but Emperor Huizong admires his piano skills. Besides, Yu Yin is from the Ying Feng Bureau, and he is also a royal person, so what is the matter of being a commander?

"The ministers are not quarrelling, and the affairs of the front division of the palace are taken care of by their own Gao Taiwei.

Since he appointed Na Yu Yin as the commander, he thought that Na Yu Yin also had some means, so he should not interfere in it again...... However, the thieves were menacing, and Han Minyi led his troops to surrender to the enemy, causing Yizhou to surrender without a fight, and the door of Yanshan Mansion was opened.

Cai Jing has sent someone to ask for help, what should be done, and he must plan early. ”

Before the words fell, a person stood up and said loudly: "The thief did it, but the three towns of Taiyuan between the mountains and rivers." Last year they failed to succeed, and now they are raising troops again, and they are only doing more than the land of three towns. Why not let out the three towns, and the thieves will retreat. ”

The person who spoke was Zhang Bangchang.

When he opened his mouth, everyone immediately echoed.

Li Gang was furious, "The shore of the land is not the king's minister, and the whole world is not the king's land."

The three towns of Taiyuan are the gateway of my Great Song Dynasty, how can Zhang Zi make such a big rebellious statement? First, Wen Yudong's "Journey to the West" said that the thief was greedy and had no faith. Today he asked for three towns and let go, tomorrow he asked for three towns again, and in the coming year he peeked at Hedong and Hebei, and in the end he wanted me to be a big Song Jiangshan...... When the time comes, will the government also have to cede Tokyo? ”

Zhang Zineng is Zhang Bangchang.

Hearing Li Gang's words, his face immediately turned red.

It's just that these words made Emperor Huizong quite displeased, and after glancing at Li Gang, he pondered for a moment and said: "Now the thief's intentions are unknown, although he asks for three towns, it may not be true." It is better to send an envoy to negotiate peace and find out the intentions of the thief.

If I really have the ambition of a thief and a wolf, I will not give up with him.

Besides, although the thieves are strong, there are still tens of thousands of victorious troops in my Yanshan Mansion, and there must be hundreds of thousands of Daofu soldiers, so what are you afraid of? ”

I have no confidence in saying this.

In the final analysis, it is still necessary to negotiate peace, and Li Gang is so angry that he has no choice but to do anything.

Emperor Huizong still didn't want to go to war. But the question is, the Jurchens are already about to hit the doorstep, how can they give up?

At this time, Gao Yu seemed to be asleep, standing aside and not saying a word.

Li Gang knew that it would be useless to continue to make noise, so he followed a 'scattered'. He huffed. Strode out of the Golden Luan Treasure Palace.

On the same day, Emperor Huizong took the Nine Emperors' son Kang Wang Zhao Gou as an envoy and went to Zhending to meet Tong Guan.

At the same time, he also has a mission. Over there, it is to explore the truth of Guo Yaoshi, and then find out the true purpose of the Jurchens.

Although Zhao Gou was not very willing, Emperor Huizong had already made an order. But I can't refuse.

On the third day of September, Zhao Gou led a delegation and left Tokyo......

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

For these changes in the court, Yu Yin has been paying attention.

Entering September, autumn is crisp.

The chrysanthemums outside Kaifeng City bloom all over the mountains, and they are very good-looking.

People have stepped out of their homes, planted chrysanthemums in their temples, and brought their families out of the city to enjoy the flowers.

Yu Yin stood on the Mu Camel Gang and looked at the military village that was about to be built. There are many thoughts.

Now, he is serving as the commander of the soldiers and horses of Mu Huogang, but he is not tired...... Literature. has Chen Dong to help him take care of it. It is also well organized. Military drills. Pang Wanchun, Niu Gao and Dong Xian are in charge. Pang Wanchun led his 200 Black Flag Arrow Team, and Niu Gao and Dong Xian each led 300 soldiers and horses. Among the remaining 450 people, Wang Minqiu continued to serve as the head of the archery, except for ten generals, and led 200 archers; Gao Zhong and He Yuanqing commanded the Fifty Horse Army as personal guards. ..., Ji Qing led 200 miscellaneous soldiers, except for ten generals, to assist Chen Dong in taking care of the baggage.

This Mutuogang military village is actually a military village specially opened by the Sanya Forbidden Army for hoarding grain and grass. After it opened, no one came to ask about it. Except for the occasional shipment of large quantities of grain and grass, there is hardly anything to do.

But Yuyin didn't dare to take it lightly.

If the Jurchens cross the river, they will inevitably take the Mu Camel Gang to Kaifeng.

This place seems to be peaceful, but if a war starts, it is indeed very dangerous......

Therefore, after he arrived at Mouhuogang, he ordered to intensify training. In order to maintain the morale of the sergeants, they even paid out of their own pockets and took out 5,000 guan as a reward. Although the value of these 5,000 guan was greatly depreciated in the last years of the Northern Song Dynasty, it was still a huge amount of money for ordinary soldiers. As soon as the reward came out, the soldiers of the Beiwei Army were of a higher nature, practicing all day long, and did not dare to slack off.

"It's okay if it's just drilling, and the soldiers' food must keep up."

"Xiao Yi, it's not that I'm stingy, the price of food in Tokyo has risen a lot recently, and it's not a thing to go on like this for a long time......

Others lead the troops to eat empty salaries, but you lead the troops to pay for themselves.

But how many taels of silver do you have? More than 1,000 people have tens of thousands of family fortunes, but I'm afraid they won't last long......"

Chen Dong's words made Yu Yin not know how to answer.

Kaifeng was not a place of production, and mainly relied on canals to transport it from the south. In addition, now Kaifeng, with a population of one million, and high prices, are far from being comparable to other places. Since the Jurchens raised their troops, prices in Kaifeng City have skyrocketed. Although the government is consciously calming down, it still cannot stop the rise in prices......

Compared with September last year, the price of Kaifeng this year has increased by 30%.

Faced with this situation, Yu Yin was also helpless......

"Tomorrow, I'll go to discuss with Liu Daguan!" Yu Yin thought for a while and said softly: "He still has more than a dozen grains in his family, if he can fund some, he can save a lot of trouble." By the way, from the northwest, what news is there? ”

After Yuyin returned to Tokyo, he immediately found Liu Qing to discuss the opening of the Xizhou trade route.

Liu Qing has been on the Western Regions trade route all the year round, and he has a lot of connections in the Kansai region, and if he can use it, he can reduce many unnecessary troubles. Liu Qing was also very interested in the Xizhou trade route that Yu Yin said. Since the war in Xizhou, Liu Qing's trade route in the Western Regions has also been closed, and countless silver has been lost. Now that he has the opportunity to reopen, how can he, as a businessman, give up? As for whether the Xizhou trade route is legal or illegal, it doesn't matter to Liu Qing at all.

Importantly, there is money to be made!

"No news has come back...... Xiao Yi, you are too eager.

It's only been a month since our people set off, and even if they arrived in Xizhou at this moment, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get in touch with Xiliao immediately...... When they got in touch with Xiliao and got the news to return, it would not reach Tokyo until November or December as soon as possible. ”

"Eleven-February...... Yes, but I'm in a hurry! ”

Yu Yinqiang laughed, turned around and went back to the military village.

It's not that he's in a hurry, it's that he doesn't wait for me. Although Chen Dong was ready to confront the Jurchens, in his heart, he might not really believe it. The Jurchens were able to hit Kaifeng City. Not to mention. The shame of Jingkang that is about to happen. Even Chen Dong is a little optimistic, not to mention others. Who knows better than Yu Yin the direction of this history?

Look at the situation in the court now. I'm afraid that this Jingkang shame will be irreparable......

Yu Yin sat down in the military tent and picked up a book. Absent-mindedly flip through it.

Sometimes I really want to leave it alone, live for a hundred years, take my wife and daughter to the south and hide, and the same will pass.

However, can you really be ruthless and let go?

As soon as he thought of this, Yu Yin was no longer in the mood to continue reading. ..., he stood up, and came out of the tent again, leading the dark gold thin horse. A person quietly walked out of the military village.

Dark gold, it still looks very thin...... This guy's appetite is not small, and it can even be compared to the mounts of Yang Zaixing and He Yuanqing. It's strange to say. No matter how dark gold is eaten. It just doesn't grow meat. This also made Yu Yin feel strange.

The horsehair is almost chest-length, and it looks like a lion.

In the sun. It has a pale golden luster. Although it doesn't grow meat, its coat color is much better than before.

When Yu Yin got the dark gold, his coat was dark gray.

Now, there is a faint development towards brown and yellow colors, which makes many people amazed.

Even Qi Longteng, who loves horses very much, can't tell the origin of the dark gold, only that although this horse is old, it is not inferior to those good horses. Yu Yin listened to it and didn't care. For him, dark gold is a good horse or a horse, and he once moved to Mobei with him, representing a memory, and it is impossible to abandon it.

Yuyin got on the horse and believed that the horse was reined.

In the distance, the sound of drills came from the military village, faintly.

Looking at the rushing river not far away, Yu Yin's brows gradually expanded.

In any case, since you are already in the hub, you have to do it again...... Whether it's success or failure, it's a big deal. A manly man should live up to what happened in the next world. You can't be a hero, and you will never be a bear!

The mind is suddenly clear!

It was still early, and Yu Yin was not in a hurry to return to the barracks, so he rode a horse and came to the imperial camp.

Ling Zhen didn't go out, seeing that Yuyin was coming, he hurriedly greeted him, so he was not enthusiastic. Ling Zhen, the commander of the imperial camp, is a military attache of the sixth rank in terms of rank, Da Yuyin is the first level. However, Yu Yin belongs to the Privy Council Arms Supervisor, which is different from the front division of the palace. At least in terms of his soldiers and horses, Ling Zhen's imperial camp was only a few hundred people, but there were more than 1,000 people in Mu Huogang.

Not to mention, Ling Zhen knew very well the hidden energy behind Yu Yin.

"Xiao Yi came to see that palm thunder?"

"Huh?"

Yu Yin suddenly remembered that Ling Zhen had been conducting experiments on black powder in accordance with the recipe he provided for the past six months.

Thunderbolt, Yu Yin didn't count on it.

However, by chance, the grenades of later generations were mentioned.

Ling Zhen was a 100% arms nerd, and after hearing Yu Yin's thoughts, he vowed to make that palm thunder.

"Could it be that Uncle has made progress?"

Ling Zhen suddenly showed a bit of arrogance, "There is indeed some progress, but I don't know if it is in line with Xiao Yi's thoughts." ”

With that, he got up and walked out, and in a short time, he came in with a tray. In the past, Ling Zhen's son Ling Wei served in the imperial camp, and Ling Wei mostly did these things. Now, Ling Wei has dragged Gao Yaoqing's relationship and entered the Infantry Military Division with the sealing situation, and Ling Zhen has one less intimate person to send. He doesn't fake other people's hands for items like munitions, so he can only work his own, but when he enters the room, he has a slight smile on his face.

"Xiao Yi, please look!"

Ling Zhen placed the tray on the table and lifted the black cloth covering it.

On the tray, a black iron ball about the size of a bowling ball is placed, the sphere is round, and a lead is exposed at one end.

"That's it...... Palm Thunder? ”

Yu Yin looked at the iron ball with a diameter of almost ten centimeters, and was a little dazed.

Ling Zhen was unhappy, "Xiao Yi doesn't believe it?" I'll try it with you......"

He picked up the iron ball, took Yu Yin with one hand and walked out of the study. After the two of them came to an open field, Ling Zhen took out the fire fold from his body and lit the fuse. The fuse burned extremely fast, and when he saw that it was about to come to an end, Ling Zhen let out a loud shout and threw it outward. Then he turned around and pulled Yu Yin, and shouted loudly: "Xiao Yi, lie down!" In a hurry, Yu Yin lay on the ground with Ling Zhen.

Immediately after, a loud bang was heard, and the iron ball exploded after hitting the ground, with an amazing sound.

Although separated by a distance, Yu Yin could still feel the waves of qi surging from ahead...... After a while, he looked up, got up, and dusted himself off.

Ling Zhen smiled and pulled Yu Yin over.

Then a pit was blown out of the clearing, and there were iron debris on the ground, and more spiritual thistles were scattered all over the ground.

"I've tried it once, and it's a cow, and the flesh and blood can be fried."

This is the palm of the thunder!

In terms of power alone, it is indeed not small.

But Yuyin frowned, squatted on the ground and picked up the iron fragment, and said with a wry smile after a while: "Uncle, although this power is great, it is inconvenient. Large objects, don't say that they are inconvenient to carry, they are really used, and those who do not have amazing arm strength will never be able to throw them. The volume of this palm thunder is best to be smaller, and it can be held with a slap, which is more conducive to throwing.

It's not necessarily more powerful, the key is to be easy to throw...... This thing seems to be powerful, but it is not practical. ”

It's not so much a palm thunder, Yu Yin Jue, it's better to say that it's a cannonball.

Ling Zhen listened, frowned and fell into deep thought.

What Xiao Yi said does have some truth...... Palm thunder, palm thunder, this thing is indeed a bit big, not very convenient. It's just that I have to shrink again, but I'm worried that the power is not enough...... Well, I'm thinking about it, let's go back and make a few and try it out. ”

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Coming out of the imperial camp, for some reason, Yu Yin's mood was much more relaxed.

If Ling Zhen can really make a primordial grenade, it is impossible to say that in the future, he will be able to increase his chances of victory.

When the time comes, let the two hundred miscellaneous soldiers take a few each, wait for the thieves to come closer, and throw them at the same time, so that the flesh and blood of the thieves who will not be blown up will fly.

With a relaxed smile on his face, Yuyin galloped back to the Muhugang military village.

As soon as Fang got off the horse, he saw Chen Dong hurriedly stepping forward, still holding a name in his hand, and handed it over when he saw Yuyin......

"What is this?"

"Just now, the East Palace sent someone to send a post, explaining that the East Palace and the Fuling County Mansion are bowing, and the imperial grandson invited Xiao Yi to watch the battle."
