Chapter 159: Many Scenes, Upstairs, Laughing in the Present and the Ancient
Upstairs with many scenes, the rivers and mountains are picturesque.
Ye Yingwu sat at the top, Zhang Shijie accompanied by him, and Ye Yingwu went down, Lu Xiufu, Zhang Cheng and Guo Chang.
Although the group of people was very tired when they climbed the mountain, and Zhang Cheng came all the way and was covered in dust, everyone looked at Ye Yingwu with blazing eyes, because at that moment just now, they seemed to see the light from Ye Yingwu and the hope for the future.
For people in troubled times, human life is like a mustard, as long as they are given a little hope of anger, they can give everything for it.
Ye Yingwu coughed lightly, and let his subordinates, who were not thinking about what they were thinking, subconsciously sit upright.
Turning his head sideways to look at the infinite scenery in front of the Duojing Building, Ye Yingwu said softly: "When the Jin people crossed to the south, they had many emotions here, but in the end, it became more and more decaying after the water. Then Yuan Jia was grassy, and he looked north in a hurry, and he fell here again. There were countless people coming and going from the southern dynasties, but in the end, they never returned to the north. Hundreds of years have passed, and now it's our turn. ”
The people below were silent, and all eyes were on Zhang Shijie's body, Ye Yingwu suddenly sighed that the Jin people Nandu and the old things of the Southern Dynasty back then, what did it mean, several people in the vegetable market still don't know it clearly, so those who have the qualifications and courage to test Ye Yingwu, only Zhang Shijie is here, after all, Zhang Shijie is Ye Yingwu's brother-in-law, and he is also the most important general under Ye Yingwu's command, even above Su Liuyi.
Zhang Shijie had been squinting slightly, but he didn't flinch at this time, his eyes suddenly opened, and two rays of light bloomed. He is a person who has returned to the north, in fact, he is also a person who has great hopes for the Northern Expedition, and now Ye Yingwu mentioned the southern crossing of the Jin people and the rise and fall of the Southern Dynasties, in the final analysis, I don't know if it is to grieve the ancients, but also to determine the direction of the Tianwu Army's struggle in the future.
After all, it's still north!
Taking a breath gently, Zhang Shijie opened his mouth and said: "Envoy, the Jin people crossed to the south, the scenery is not different, the Southern Dynasty changed, and after all, he died in Chen." From ancient times to the present, from the north to the south, from the south to the north, it is unprecedented. Do you want to set this precedent? ”
Ye Yingwu heard the faint loss and worry in Zhang Shijie's tone, and shook his head helplessly, from south to north, it is indeed more difficult, after all, this is to use the thin foot soldiers of the south to meet the overwhelming iron cavalry from the north, which is an insurmountable obstacle for any Northern Expeditioner. Even Chen Qingzhi, who became famous in the first war and avoided the white robe with thousands of troops, finally had a long-cherished wish after all.
In history, there is really one person who has realized this dream, that is, Zhu Yuanzhang of Huaishang Buyi a hundred years later, but at that time, Zhu Yuanzhang unified the north in the south, and it still took a full ten years when the Yuan Dynasty had been rushed and killed by the rebels who swarmed from all over the country. However, at this time, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know how many generations of ancestors had not been born, let alone himself.
And before that, Yue Fei was the only one who could have the ability to drive out the Tartars and realize the dream of the Han people who had traveled south in all dynasties, but in the end, Yue Fei died unjustly in the Wind Wave Pavilion, and this dream also landed, leaving only countless dust.
Ye Yingwu stretched out his hand and gently tapped the table, and said with a smile: "Could it be that Zhang Dutong is afraid, or is everyone here afraid?" ”
Lu Xiufu and the others had white faces, and they heard a strong killing intent from Ye Yingwu's tone, which was not a smile at all, but a smile with monstrous anger. Before Lu Xiufu and the others could answer, Ye Yingwu immediately said: "There has not been since ancient times, so why can't this great dream be realized in the hands of you and me?" Are we not as good as the ancients? What's more, if it weren't for King Yue Wumu's death in the Wind Wave Pavilion and King Han Qi's seclusion and inaction, I'm afraid this dream would have been realized a hundred years ago. ”
Yue Fei has been rehabilitated by the imperial court, but at this time, Ye Yingwu's mention of Yue Fei really made the hearts of the people below feel inexplicably tight. After all, Ye Yingwu is now in a high position, and he has gradually shown his dissatisfaction with the imperial court, which is already vaguely aware of everyone present. And for Ye Yingwu's attitude, the people present naturally had different attitudes.
Zhang Shijie and Guo Chang, Jiang Tie, Wu Chucai and others below naturally don't have much opinion on this, firstly, some of them are already very dissatisfied with this imperial court controlled by Jia Nidao, and secondly, people like Guo Chang, Jiang Tie and others were all pulled up by Ye Yingwu, Ye Yingwu has the grace of knowing them, and they naturally want to become ministers of Conglong.
As for Lu Xiufu, he naturally doesn't want to think about this, but now that he has been forced to the edge of the cliff, he has to think carefully about his thoughts. Lu Xiufu is actually a Confucian with a very traditional ideology, for him, the Southern Song Dynasty court is the supreme existence, and it is the object of his loyalty from birth, but now, Ye Yingwu's actions one after another are undoubtedly slapping the face of the Southern Song Dynasty court, and in fact, it is also piercing all the remaining layers of thin veil in the Southern Song Dynasty court, so that the incompetence of the Southern Song Dynasty court and the exposure of ** Chiguoguo to the sun.
Now Lu Xiufu can clearly see that there is even some fanaticism in the eyes of several people present, they are already very tired of this cowardly and incompetent court, and Ye Yingwu is undoubtedly giving them a beautiful blueprint.
The Northern Expedition, unifying the mountains and rivers, this is a famous name that has been passed down through the ages!
Lu Xiufu couldn't help but take a light breath, he didn't know where he got the courage, looked at Ye Yingwu, and said resolutely: "My subordinates are presumptuous, dare to ask the envoy, can everyone here be the subordinates of the envoy?" ”
Ye Yingwu frowned slightly: "Junshi, what do you mean?" ”
Ye Yingwu opened his mouth not "Brother Junshi" but "Junshi", obviously expressing his dissatisfaction with being suddenly interrupted by Lu Xiufu, but still maintained the due respect for Lu Xiufu. And Lu Xiufu smiled slightly, let the people present look at him in surprise, and said directly:
"Since the envoy has not refutated, then the subordinates take the liberty to ask, now does the envoy want to be Wang Mang, or does he want to be Cao Cao?"
Doing it again has been silent. With a cool breeze blowing on their faces, most of the people subconsciously shivered and looked at Ye Yingwu.
"Bang!" It was not Ye Yingwu who slapped the table, but Zhang Cheng. This commander who controls the six doors is actually the person who knows the most about the dark side of the entire Southern Song Dynasty, and he is also the person who gradually dislikes the dynasty he is in, and he is the first to jump out now.
This is very different from Zhang Cheng's original calm and cautious, but thinking about what Zhang Cheng is usually responsible for, it is reasonable for Zhang Cheng to lose his temper and anger at this time. It's just that only people like Zhang Shijie who have been up and down in officialdom for so many years will find out that in fact, before Zhang Cheng slapped the table, Ye Yingwu once glanced at Zhang Cheng.
It's just that at this time, although most people looked at Ye Yingwu, they were actually thinking quickly in their hearts, and even their hearts were chaotic, and they didn't know what to do, so they basically didn't notice Ye Yingwu's subtle movements.
Only Zhang Cheng, who is meticulous and has always been cautious and calm, and Zhang Shijie, who is already well versed in the road of officialdom, noticed it. Zhang Cheng naturally lived up to Ye Yingwu's expectations and stood up without hesitation. Regardless of whether he will suffer a loss or not, since Ye Yingwu has let himself come out, he will naturally remember his performance this time in the future.
"Lu Tongju, Huanghuang Great Song Dynasty, the official family is still there, and the Tongju is saying this kind of thing now, isn't it trying to provoke the relationship between the court and the envoy?" Zhang Cheng frowned, looked at Lu Xiufu, and said with a cold smile, although he usually has a good personal relationship with Lu Xiufu, but this time it was Ye Yingwu who personally asked him to come out, and Zhang Cheng was very angry with Lu Xiufu's words, so he didn't show mercy, even if he broke with you, he would not give up.
In fact, what Ye Yingwu wanted to do, everyone present had already figured out a thing or two, but this was a big crime to kill the head, not to mention that Ye Yingwu did not force everyone to express his position, so which one was not pretending to be confused. And only Lu Xiufu said it without hesitation, this is not his question, but actually the question of the people present.
They all want to know what they can get in exchange for their desperate work now.
"You want to know?" Ye Yingwu looked at Lu Xiufu with a cold gaze.
And Lu Xiufu subconsciously shivered, but still met Ye Yingwu's gaze without hesitation, although he knew that he really shouldn't have said these words just now, but now that he has said it, as a dignified seven-foot man, how can he retreat?
Seeing that Lu Xiufu didn't nod or shake his head, Ye Yingwu finally closed his eyes and sighed: "Actually, there are some things, I don't want to say it, just understand it in your own hearts." At least what we are loyal to now is still this glorious Song Dynasty, or this Langlang sky. I know that Junshi has always liked to get to the bottom of things, I don't know if you are satisfied with this answer? ”
Lu Xiufu also had an obviously relaxed expression on his face, smiled slightly, and arched his hand at Ye Yingwu: "The subordinates took the liberty to ask, in fact, there is no other meaning, I just want to remind the envoy that some things are of course what the envoy wants to do after all, and it is also what the envoy wants to do, but at least now is not the time to do these things, after all, now that the Mongolian Tartars are pressing in the north, it is the time for the entire Great Song Dynasty to work together to resist foreign humiliation." ”
"Junshi's kindness, a certain heart has it." Ye Yingwu also stood up, glanced at Zhang Cheng slightly, a smile appeared on the corner of Zhang Cheng's mouth, and he sat down silently.
Although Lu Xiufu sat down slowly now, and closed his eyes slightly, Ye Yingwu knew that there had actually been a crack between himself and Lu Xiufu, as for whether it could be repaired, Ye Yingwu himself didn't know now, after all, when a person recognized it, it was actually difficult to change, let alone Lu Xiufu, an honest and loyal minister who would rather carry Emperor Song into the sea than bow his head.
Now Ye Yingwu didn't care about Lu Xiufu anymore, and turned to look at the others: "What is the next step for the Tianwu Army, I think everyone already has a number in their hearts, since we are in Zhenjiang now, then only talk about the issue of Zhenjiang, first of all, Zhang Cheng, you tell so-and-so, how many people can be concentrated in Zhenjiang Mansion by Liumen and Jinyiwei?" ”
Since this dispute over the state capitals in the south of the Yangtze River, the existence of the six doors and the Jinyiwei has surfaced, and Ye Yingwu no longer has any scruples to put the six doors and the Jinyiwei on the surface, not to mention that the people here are also their own cronies as Lu Xiufu said, so even if they let them know, there is no big problem.
Zhang Cheng stood up again, and said without humility or arrogance: "Qi Qi envoy, after all, Jiangnan is originally the most vulnerable place for the six gates and Jinyiwei, the Imperial City Division has suppressed it several times, even if the old commander Yang is personally in charge, if it is not for the timely rescue of the Emperor this time, I am afraid that the whole army will not be avoided, Rao is like this, this time it can be regarded as a heavy loss, but after all, most of the forces of the Imperial City Division have been wiped out, and all the state capitals in Jiangnan are actually empty except for the vicinity of Lin'an. But it's true that the Six Gates don't have the strength to move forward now. ”
Ye Yingwu nodded: "Go on, we all know this situation." ”
"This time, the subordinates brought hundreds of elites from the six doors and Jinyiwei, and the communication and contact methods of the entire Zhenjiang Mansion received a heavy blow last time, so this time I want to re-establish the entire contact information on the carriage and horse station, the restaurant, the Goolan Tile House, the Qinglou, etc., and now the several restaurants and teahouses that are running in Zhenjiang Mansion have actually been exposed to the sun, and they may become the target of the Imperial City Division's retaliation at any time." Zhang Cheng said slowly, still as orderly as ever, "But this time it is not without benefits, for example, the merchants of Jiangnan West Road, who have always stood on our side, saw that the strength shown by the envoy was not inferior to Jia Yidao, and they were even more unswerving, and the merchants in Jiangnan East Road and Jinghu South North Road, many of them wavered, have also expressed their support for us, allowing the use of their fleets, convoys, restaurants, and post stations to transmit and collect news." ”
"This at least shows that we didn't come to Jiangnan for nothing this time." Ye Yingwu stretched out his hand and gently tapped the table, he was actually very satisfied with this result. Although the commercial economy has developed irrepressibly in the Song Dynasty, the idea of heavy agriculture in the imperial court has not changed, and it can only be said that the suppression of commerce and trade is not as powerful as before.
And now Ye Yingwu is different, no matter where Ye Yingwu goes, he has not forgotten to commend his support for businessmen, businessmen have always been born for profit, and it is rare for someone to support them, so they naturally came to show their loyalty, and I hope that when Ye Yingwu goes to the next level in the future, he will not forget the money behind them.
Especially now that Ye Yingwu has shown a tricky power in Jiangnan, it has given these businessmen hope, in their opinion, it is natural that the higher Ye Yingwu goes, the better, and the stronger the Tianwu Army, the better.
Therefore, it is expected and reasonable for businessmen to fully support Ye Yingwu, but it does not prevent everyone from being happy. After all, behind these businessmen, there are rolling financial and material resources, which are urgently needed by the Tianwu Army now gradually expanding and expanding.
There are also the carriages and horses, Qinglou Restaurant, and Washe Goolan that the Imperial City Division has never put in their eyes, and most of them belong to the names of the merchants, and the scholars represented by Weng Yinglong and Liao Ying, the leaders of the Imperial City Division, have always despised, but no one can deny that without the large and small industries under the names of these merchants, the six doors and Jinyi Guard, which were founded privately by the Tianwu Army and have no foundation, are impossible to develop rapidly, so that now they are even blocked in the narrow territory of the two Zhejiang provinces and it is difficult to expand.
You must know that this organization, which has only been born for a few months, can fight a tie with this secret spy organization that has been created for three hundred years with the birth of the Great Song Dynasty on the territory of the Imperial City Division, and it is even better to occupy a large place and retreat with its whole body, which is indeed thought-provoking.
Ye Yingwu didn't say anything more, just glanced at Guo Chang and Zhang Cheng encouragingly, and turned his gaze to Zhang Shun, who had been silent and had never spoken. Zhang Shun seemed to have expected that the envoy would inevitably let him speak, so he didn't know whether he was sitting upright, and now when he saw Ye Yingwu's gaze, he felt a thrill in his heart. He is a person who Ye Yingwu appreciated and promoted in the recklessness, from a fisherman who has no fundamentals to the commander of the right wing of the Tianwu Army, which is something that ordinary people dare not think of, but Ye Yingwu did it without hesitation.
Just by virtue of this appreciation, Zhang Shun was loyal to Ye Yingwu.
"Commander Zhang Du, what is the current situation in the right wing of the Tianwu Army?"
Zhang Shun did not hesitate, and stood up suddenly, crisply and neatly.
