Chapter 43: Qingfeng Ridge

In the Northern Song Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty was inherited, and the folk atmosphere was relatively open. Only in the Southern Song Dynasty did the shameless literati who were unable to recover the land advocate the science of castration of human nature, and used all their strength on how to torture women. With the gradual prosperity of science, many women gradually did not go out of the door and concentrated on becoming ladies. Although the great poet Lu You has been a stave of resistance to gold all his life, he also said things that secretly ridiculed Li Qingzhao such as "talent is not a woman's business".

Of course, because of their congenital physical weakness, women are indeed unable to compare with men in many professions. For example, on the battlefield where violence is respected, it is easy to see women. But it's just a few, but it's not nothing. In ancient times, there were women who were good generals, and Mulan was in the army in the former Sui Dynasty. At the turn of the two Song Dynasty, the most famous female general was, of course, Liang Hongyu, who beat the drum and fought Jinshan, and was known to future generations.

But on the battlefield in the second year of Jingkang, Liang Hongyu was only a concubine of Han Shizhong, and she was unknown. At this time, there was only one female general who was famous in the Central Plains, and that was Zhang Yong's wife Yizhangqing. Of course, in this time and space, because of Yue Fei's rise in Yingtianfu, there is another female general who can compete with a young man, Hua Ruyu.

The boss of Qingfeng Ridge is Zhang Yong on the surface, but the real master of the cottage is Yizhang Qing. When encountering major events, Zhang Yong always has to let his wife make the decision. Even when he went south to seek refuge in Zong Ze, he was persuaded by Yizhang Qing again and again, and only then did he extinguish Zhang's ambition to be king in troubled times. In Yizhangqing's words, "Our husband and wife are both brainless martial artists, don't think about those things that are kings and hegemons." Otherwise, you will die without a place to be buried. ”

Zhang Yong was not very convinced by this sentence before. But Lin Gongzi besieged Qingfeng Ridge with more than 20,000 men and horses, but Zhang Yong saw his ability clearly. He really doesn't have the ability to maneuver in troubled times. Therefore, on the way to fly to Qingfeng Ridge with Yue, Zhang Yong was a little depressed.

But Yizhangqing didn't notice Zhang Yong's face. She was having a good conversation with Hua Ruyu. Yizhang Qing has been crisscrossing Taihang Mountain for a few years, and it is the first time I have seen a female general other than her. Especially seeing that in the process of chasing and killing Lin Gongzi, Hua Ruyu jumped on a horse and held a gun, unstoppable, which made Yizhangqing feel like a bosom friend.

Hua Ruyu also has a good impression of Yizhangqing. Hua Ruyu always thought that in today's Central Plains, there is only one female general. When she saw that the majesty and majesty were not inferior to her own, the thought of sympathy also surged in her heart.

Therefore, from the foot of the mountain to the meeting hall of Qingfeng Ridge, the two female generals have been talking very warmly. They talked about martial arts from their respective weapons, from martial arts to clothes, from clothes to jewelry, and the more they talked, the more they became happy, and finally they became sisters with different surnames. Yizhang Qing is the sister, and the flower is like a jade.

Ji Qian saw this scene and said to Zhang Yong, "I didn't expect the two of us to be in the same family, but we became brothers." "It turned out that Ji Qian had only learned martial arts under Zhou Dongmen, but unlike Yue Fei and Zhang Yong, who had learned art under Chen Guangmen, the first shot in Tangyin.

Zhang Yong patted Ji Qian's shoulder very boldly and said, "This is fate." This shows that we are destined to be brothers. ”

Whether it is a sister or a brother, the account that should be settled still has to be calculated. On the wine table with staggered cups and plates, Yue Fei raised a question that made Zhang Xin feel distressed. This time, the Protectors rushed to Qingfeng Ridge, killing more than 100 people and wounding more than 300 people. The pensions of the families of the deceased and the medical expenses of the injured must of course be paid by Qingfeng Ling.

Zhang Yong and Yizhang Qing glanced at each other, and said in their hearts that this Yue Fei was different from previous years. In the past, Yue Fei would never open and close his mouth to mention silver. It seems that the rumors are right, and now Yue Fei has fallen into the eyes of money. Could it be that the Liu family abandoned the family because they thought the Yue family was poor, which stimulated Yue Fei, who has always regarded money as dung?

Whatever the reason, Zhang Yong can't afford to pay the bill. After all, Yue Fei came to rescue him with elite soldiers.

Yizhangqing pretended to trim the hairpin on his head with his hand, and quietly stretched out three fingers to Zhang Yong. Zhang Yong's eyebrows tightened, but he still patted his chest and said, "Pengju loves soldiers like sons." I admire Zhang Yong very much. However, I don't have much money on Qingfeng Ridge, and Pengju also knows that your senior brother and I have always been poor haha. ”

Zhang Yong's crying made Yao Zheng, who was sitting at the bottom, extremely unhappy. Yao Zhengxin said, Zhang Mangdang, you are still lying to my nephew in front of my Yao Zheng, is it a bit too much? If we Qingfengling are still poor, then there will be no rich cottages in the world. How many rich merchants have we robbed in the past two years, how many bad gentry have been extorted, and there are at least 100,000 taels of silver in the treasury of the cottage. You are stingy, but I, Yao Zheng, am not stingy. I won't let my nephew suffer. Since Gorou can see my face and come to save you, you can't be a dime.

Yao Zheng coughed and was about to speak. Zhang Yong stretched out three fingers to Yue Fei. "Pengju, 30,000 taels of silver. I will pay 30,000 taels of silver to compensate for your loss. I don't know what Peng's intentions are? ”

Yue Fei said with a serious face, "Senior Brother Zhang, this is not compensation for me, but compensation for our Protector Army. Senior brother knows that for every soldier who dies in our people's army, not only does he have a pension of no less than three hundred taels, but also gives their elderly parents and minor children the necessary living expenses. The 30,000 taels of silver of the senior brother are only enough for the pensions of a hundred deceased. There were more than 300 wounded, but there was nothing left. ”

Yue Fei's words caused all of Zhang Yong's subordinates to be in an uproar. They whispered that they didn't believe that there was such a good thing in the world. Whether they are thieves in cottages or soldiers in the imperial court, ordinary soldiers are cannon fodder that can be discarded at any time. Anyway, there are many people in the Great Song Dynasty, so there is no worry about the lack of soldiers. Even in the Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army, the soldiers killed in battle were only a pension of one hundred taels. As for the parents and children of the deceased, who cares about him? If the Protector Army is really such a system, why should everyone take refuge in the sect commander? Wouldn't it be okay to follow Yue Wushu directly to Ying Tianfu?

Hearing his favorite generals talk like this, Zhang Yonghe's faces became a little ugly. Zhang Yong thought that Yue Fei deliberately used such words to lure his general. Yizhang Qing glanced at Hua Ruyu.

Hua Ruyu hurriedly smiled and said, "Sister, Brother Yue is telling the truth. That's the system of our Protectorate. Sister, don't think that we should be rich in Tianfu, but the Protector Army is very poor. Brother Yue often said that soldiers should not be allowed to shed blood and tears. Those who are loyal to the country cannot be allowed to rest under the nine springs. Even if we can't let everyone live a worry-free life, at least we must let the families of the martyrs live a worry-free life. ”

"A good one can't let the soldiers shed blood and tears." Yizhangqing clapped his hands and praised, "I only now understand why the Protector Army has won many battles, and I also understand what it means to love a soldier like a son." In that case, I can't be too stingy in Qingfeng Ridge. and ten thousand taels of silver. Let the wounded of the Protectors recuperate well. ”

Yue Fei nodded, raised his wine glass, and said to Zhang Yong and his wife, "Senior brother and sister-in-law are so generous, I, Yue Fei, will not say anything anymore." And a glass of wine. I heard that the senior brother was going to Bianliang, and the senior brother's desire to serve the country was admirable. I toast my brother and sister-in-law with a glass of wine. I will also go to Bianliang, and at that time, we will all obey the orders under the tent of the sect commander, and we will be happy! ”

As soon as the tent was cleared, everyone drank more heartily. When he was drunk for seven or eight minutes, Zhang Yong suddenly scolded Ma Fanglai, who had left Qingfeng Ridge. "That Ma Fang thief, the back of his head is protruding, and he is born with a backbone. This time, I will oppose Qingfeng Ridge, go and fool around with that nine-patterned dragon Shi Bin, and sooner or later he will be beheaded by officers and soldiers. ”

Yue Fei asked, "Why did Senior Brother say this?" Could it be that this nine-patterned dragon Shi Bin is going to rebel? ”

Zhang Yong nodded with great certainty. "Of course, this nine-patterned dragon is the remnant of Liangshan, and the most thief is not changed. In the past two years, he has been recruiting troops and horses, and I heard that he has no less than 100,000 soldiers in his cottage. Zong Shuai recruited him several times, but the people he sent were all turned away from the village, and he couldn't even enter the door at all. A few days ago, he sent someone to discuss a major matter with me, asking me to rebel with him, saying that after the matter was completed, I would be appointed as the general of the town. I didn't expect to say that I wouldn't move, but I tempted the thief from Ma Fang away. In my opinion, the nine-striped dragon will rise in a few months. ”

Ji Qian shouted loudly, "Nine-patterned dragon Shi Bin also wants to rebel and become the emperor? That's, isn't it? When Lao Tzu was on the mountain, he was just my second master. Now that he is delusional about the Son of Heaven, he really bows his head and goes into the cave, looking for death. ”

Yue Fei thought to himself, not knowing where the heroes of Liangshan in Yue Xiaofei's memory had gone. There are still a few Liangshan Houhan who are still alive, except for Zhang Heng, who is brave and loyal to protect the people and kill thieves, the other few are not yesterday.

Nine-patterned dragon Shi Bin is about to raise the flag to rebel. The blue-faced beast Yang Zhi was originally the pioneer of the old commander of the Seed Master Dao, but when this person met the Jin Bing, he fled in a hurry, which directly caused the collapse of the army of 200,000 species. In the end, the master Dao could only lead hundreds of personal soldiers to fight with the Jin soldiers, and died of exhaustion. It can be said that if the Seed Master Dao hadn't trusted this surrendered Liangshan thief, he might not have been defeated so miserably.

Yue Fei asked slowly, "Senior brother, do you know when the Nine Pattern Dragon will rebel?" ”

Zhang Yong glanced at Yue Fei and said loudly, "Could it be that Pengju wants to exterminate Shi Bin and Ma Fang?" I'm afraid it's a little hard. Shi Bin's army had already withdrawn to the West Road in northern Shaanxi. It is said that a warlock showed Shi Bin a look and said that he should succeed Qin. There are also hopeful people who tell him that there is a son of heaven in the guan. So Shi Bin led tens of thousands of troops to Shaanxi. ”

Yue Fei snorted coldly, "Warlock? These wild foxes who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, sooner or later I will destroy them. Whenever my Central Plains is turbulent, there will be such pretending to be a ghost and using the so-called cycle of five virtues and the number of heavenly qi to encourage those careerists to rebel. These famous warlocks definitely have ulterior motives. ”

Ji Qian asked, "Big brother, could it be that these warlocks are all spies of the Golden Dog, and they are dedicated to destroying the overall situation of my Central Plains?" You see that Shi Bin retreated to the West Shaanxi Road, although he was forced by the pressure of hundreds of thousands of troops of the Zong Shuai, he did not have the idea of deliberately destroying the West Shaanxi Road to resist Jin. 100,000 troops entered the West Shaanxi Road, and the people of the West Shaanxi Road were affected. Shi Bin is a person who fights with soldiers in the middle and lower levels, but his ability to harm the people is absolutely superior. ”

Yue Fei glanced at Ji Qian appreciatively and said, "Ji Qian, I didn't expect you to be enlightened and use your brain to think." I'm so relieved. ”
