Chapter 115: Light Fat

It's on the shelves tomorrow, so I ask for a lot of subscription support

Outside the city of Hangzhou, there is a lot of mourning, and the scenery is depressed. www.biquge.info Although there is a prefect to open a warehouse to release relief grain, but in the end it is useless, the number of displaced people is really amazing, from the initial dozen people, to the later hundreds of thousands, just to maintain order needs to mobilize all the number of officers and soldiers in the city, what makes Wei Nanlu feel more headache is that the public security in Hangzhou began to deteriorate rapidly, and it is impossible to clear the fish that have slipped through the net by means of blocking.

At this time, he received a summons from Pei Chaoyang from Guangling, and Pei Chaoyang, who had always been at odds with Song officials, actually ordered Wei Nanlu to fully cooperate with the other party's actions in disciplining the homeless, and even let himself obey the other party's orders. This surprised Wei Nanlu, but the purpose behind it made him shudder a little.

There are rumors that the rebels have entered the boundary of the Liangzhejiang Road, and the great momentum will soon take over the confrontation with the Southern Jin Army.

In addition to the military battalion of the Guangling Naval Division, the other Tiger and Leopard Battalion and Dengxian Battalion were the other two powerful armies on the Liangzhejiang Road, and the rebellious rebel army could cut its troops from Jiangnan Road to Hangzhou City unless they could capture the other two iron cavalry and infantry armies.

Through the intelligence and situation map sent by the Cardinal Division, Chen Zhongqing also roughly analyzed the trend of this turmoil, but he did not expect that the garrison on Jiangnan Road would be defeated, Xinzhou and Quzhou have been besieged and lost, and the rebel army is from the south to the north, and the next target may be Hangzhou. The increasing number of displaced people is a confirmation of this judgment, if the city of Hangzhou is lost, Shezhou will not escape the doom.

The quiet alley faintly reveals the murderous intention, a certain uneasiness under the stormy situation, the prosperity and liveliness of Hangzhou City are more and more proportional to the sorrow and sorrow all over the wilderness, and it also reveals the sadness of the end of the prosperity from the bones.

Try to pull your thoughts back into the sorrow, at this time, the surrounding is the lively scene of chatting and laughing in the restaurant, and the literati and artists are still like the previous daily life of seeking pleasure and getting drunk, spending day after day in peace in the peaceful city of Hangzhou.

They didn't pay attention to the situation outside, the dead and the homeless people couldn't disturb the peaceful life, and even if the officers and soldiers strengthened their vigilance, no one thought that an army formed by a group of ragged hungry people could defeat the elite of the Southern Jin Dynasty, and the big families in the city would not lose the slightest.

Many people thought so, including Su Zizhan, who was sitting opposite him, and he only chatted and laughed about the situation outside the city, and occasionally made some remarks and sighed.

Qiushui gathers all kinds of readers, and they will make all kinds of remarks in the face of the situation outside the city.

Among them, some of the scholars from the academy were even more worried about the country and the people, and they were full of emotion and stood up. I saw him waving a paper fan and said impassionedly, "Hangzhou is full of displaced people, and the top priority is not to provide food relief, but to find the real root." The thieves on the Jiangnan East Road killed people, and the imperial court should quickly send troops to suppress the bandits and quell the rebellion, otherwise it would definitely affect the morale of the Northern Expedition. ”

The environment in Hangzhou in the south of the Yangtze River is relaxed, and it is common to discuss current affairs openly like this. It is not enough to post a notice on the state affairs of Mozambique merchants in the restaurant.

As soon as this remark came out, there were a lot of echoing voices, nodding their heads to think that the other party was right. If the Northern Expeditionary Army does not solve this crisis first, it will have a series of unpredictable factors for the future.

Chen Zhongqing sat by the window, watched their impassioned defense with great interest, shrunk aside and did not speak, just looked condescendingly at the lively street where people came and went, raised his eyes, and looked farther outside the city of Hangzhou, where smoke curled.

Outside the city, the displaced people built tattered tents and had to gnaw tree bark and dig grass roots to survive, in addition to the porridge received from the city. The sick and dead were rolled up by mats and carried directly to mass graves to feed wild dogs.

Outside the city are wilderness and hell, but inside the city is peaceful at night.

Attention returned to the restaurant from the window, and Su Zizhan, who came with him, also stood up and refuted the other party's point of view. Although Su Zizhan was a scholar of letters, he had his own certain opinions on war. He said slowly, "That's not necessarily, now that the ripe season of grain harvesting has passed, the Northern Expeditionary Army is not short of grain, but the thieves are short of food." As long as the states of Jiangnan East Road are strong, within half a month, these thieves will retreat without an army. It's just that the displaced people outside the city are pitied, if they don't continue to move north or disperse, the two armies will definitely be ruined in the battle. ”

"What do the outcasts do to us?"

Another scholar said with disdain, pointing in the direction of the north gate and saying, "What the prefect has done is justified, let the thieves in, if the city of Hangzhou is lost, it will be a bloody massacre related to each of us." To put it mildly, the dead friends do not die in the poor way, and the life and death of the homeless people have nothing to do with us. ”

Su Zizhan had nothing to say when he was refuted, he had to think about the problem from the perspective of the people of Hangzhou, once the displaced people flocked to the north gate, it would inevitably affect the grain reserves, as well as public security and stability. There must be many spies among these outcasts who are anti-thieves and cooperate with outsiders.

The tea drinker wearing a hat in the corner listened to all the voices silently, but did not speak.

"By the way, isn't the great talent of Hangzhou here? How about you hear what he thinks? ”

After someone saw Chen Zhongqing, they immediately picked his head, trying to pull him into the eyes of everyone's public opinion, and took the brand of a great talent

Su Zizhan felt that someone had dug a pit waiting for Chen Zhongqing to jump down, he was not a native of Hangzhou, so no matter what he said, it was likely that he would not please both ends.

Everyone looked at him, Chen Zhongqing also knew that today's tea could not be drunk quietly, so he stood up and humbly arched his hand to the people around him, Chen Zhongqing signaled everyone to be quiet, the people who were eating and drinking stopped the hustle and bustle, and everyone else turned their heads and looked at each other calmly, not knowing what to say. The man with the hat put down his chopsticks, raised his head slightly, and looked at the young man's side face, peaceful and elegant, but in his bones he revealed a terrifying aura.

The man wearing the hat was slightly stunned.

is silent on weekdays, and no one dares to laugh at the soft-spoken Chen Zhongqing. When he spoke, everyone felt the sharp aura of the other party. The heavy sword was pointed at these people without a blade.

"But have you ever thought about one thing, even if the homeless people don't go to the city, they can't eat enough to turn from begging to resentment, and when the thieves give them a bite to eat, these homeless people will turn from defenseless lambs to vicious wolves with swords drawn against each other? Or do you just don't want to think about it? ”

"I didn't dare to make an axe in front of you, I just wanted to recite two lines of poetry, but I didn't find the right opportunity. Maybe it's a bit out of place to say this, but I think it's very appropriate for the moment. This poem is not the original, and many of you may have heard of it. ”

"The person who wrote the poem is called Bai Juyi."

"That poem is called "Light Fat".
