Huashi Gang is the name of a special transportation traffic in Chinese history that specializes in transporting exotic flowers and stones to meet the emperor's preferences, and in the time of Emperor Huizong, "Gang" meant a transport team, often ten ships called a "Gang...... しw0。
At that time, the command of Huashigang had Hangzhou "Zuozuo Bureau", Suzhou "should be the Bureau", etc., by the emperor's order to loot the rare cultural relics in the southeast region, because the Huashi fleet passed, the local people, to supply the money valley and civil service, some places even in order to let the fleet pass, demolished the bridge, chiseled the city, so often let the people in the south of the Yangtze River miserable, "History of the Song Dynasty" has recorded the battle of Huashigang: "the poison of the county for 20 years".
Yue Chuan did know a lot about the things that disturbed the people, such as the Birth Gang and Hua Shi Gang, but he didn't expect that before he had time to travel in Tokyo and visit some famous figures, Lin Chong encountered the matter of escorting Hua Shi Gang.
The reason for the matter is this, Hua Shigang this matter is presided over by the current prime minister Cai Jing, intending to please Emperor Huizong, so that he can happily let himself take power, but Cai Jing himself also knows how the people hate Hua Shigang This kind of thing, Emperor Huizong likes boulders, where there are boulders, he will order the boulders to be sent to Tokyo City, some places the city is small, the city gate is not tall enough, the boulder can not pass, then tear down the city wall and move the boulder away, the demolition of the people is often thousands, the end is the labor of the people and the loss of money.
Many officials are also very dissatisfied with Cai Jing's approach, so Cai Jing knows that in order to please the emperor, this job is not easy, Cai Jing is also a bit of a talent, not only a power traitor, but also a skilled calligrapher, "Su Huangmi Cai" of "Cai", that is, Cai Xiang, is this Cai Jing's cousin, under the influence of the ears and eyes, Cai Jing's artistic attainments are still very good.
But that's all, in order to please the emperor and came up with the Hua Shi Gang, he is by no means a good person, of course he knows that Hua Shi Gang is not easy, not to mention the transportation itself is not easy, now there are many thieves around the way, it is difficult to say that these guys will not get up, hijack Hua Shi Gang, these things have happened before, which made the emperor Long Yan angry, Cai Jing still has palpitations.
So, before Cai Jing began to transport this batch of Hua Shi Gang, he selected good hands in the capital, and was ready to send them to Jiangnan to escort Hua Shigang back, Cai Jing, the manpower on the Jiangnan side, did not trust, and felt that they were colluding to fool themselves, so they could only cultivate some loyal and capable men to do things for themselves, and Cai Jing took a fancy to Lin Chong, who was not very famous.
Cai Jing took a fancy to Lin Chong is actually not accidental, it is better to say, it can be regarded as Lin Chong's luck, Lin Chong himself said, he has a friend, surnamed Lu, called Lu Qian, and a general manager of Cai Jing's mansion, quite a bit of friendship, Lin Chong saved Lu Qian's life earlier, Lu Qian has always kept this in his heart, and Lin Chong became brothers, and has always wanted to repay Lin Chong.
He knew that Lin Chong Huai was not talented, and he also knew Lin Chong's ability, and knew that Lin Chong had always wanted to put his talent to good use, so this time Cai Jing selected the person who escorted Hua Shigang, Lu Qian heard the rumor, spent a little money, opened up the relationship with the supervisor, and asked the supervisor to say a few good words about Lin Chong by Cai Jing's side.
Cai Jing was also depressed in his heart, the imperial court emphasized literature and light martial arts, and it became the current situation, I wanted to select a few outstanding young people from the Tokyo Forbidden Army to test it, if it was worth cultivating, then promote it to be my own person, but I chose to choose, all the "great talents of the country" that I usually know are all fancy frames, and the dancing spear can hurt myself, the dancing sword almost cut off his fingers, the school archery, the drumming officer, the horse has not yet run up, and he hugged the horse's head and cried, and he was extremely incompetent!
But Cai Jing also understands that it's no wonder that they are not the same, the general environment is like this, Cai Jing himself knows best, the only Western soldiers who can fight may have some people who can be used, but far water can't quench the thirst of the near, when Cai Jing was troubled, the name Lin Chong gave him some ideas.
The methods of the people below, Cai Jing clearly understood in his heart, and he himself came over like this, so he asked someone to secretly inquire about Lin Chong and his person, as well as the relationship between the supervisor, and learned that Lin Chong himself was not involved in this matter, but his friend Lu Qian did it for Lin Chong, and wanted to repay the favor, Cai Jing admired Lin Chong a little, and paid attention to Lin Chong's ability, but Cai Jing was not disappointed, although Lin Chong was just a forbidden army stick leader, but he was strong in martial arts, and he was by no means an idle person.
Hua Shigang is not a trivial matter, it can't be decided so easily, Cai Jing also spent a little thought, and learned about Lin Chong's true skills from the mouths of the middle and lower rank officers and soldiers in the army, and there is really some taste in it, Cai Jing moved his mind, this kind of person who has never met talents, especially martial artists, as long as he gives him a little benefit, let him read your kindness, he has been a cow and a horse for you all his life, Cai Jing himself also has some thoughts about cultivating cronies in the army, and Gao Yu, who is in charge of military power, really makes him very uncomfortable.
Lin Chong has real skills, and he is still a person who has never met talents, isn't it the best time to bring him over at this time? Wait for him to escort Hua Shigang back, and then send him into the army, use his own means and his true skills, sooner or later let Lin Chong be the commander of the front army, and it is not difficult to be a commander, and when he is trained and promoted, he will have the power of the army, and he does not have to worry about Gao Yu's family not dealing with him.
So, with such an idea, Cai Jing extended an olive branch to Lin Chong - come on! Come on! Give me your life and your soul! I'll make you a big official! Be a general! Unleash your talents! All you're going to do is one of my dogs!
Cai Jing summoned Lin Chong and personally tested Lin Chong's martial arts, five or six big men in the palace were not Lin Chong's opponents, and they were put down by Lin Chong in three or two clicks. Cai Jing was overjoyed.
Originally, for Lin Chong, to be able to get the appreciation of a powerful person like Cai Jing is what many martial artists dream of, in the Great Song Dynasty, if the martial artists want to get ahead, or they will go to the northwest frontier to participate in the Western Army, and the Western Xia people will fight to the death, there is no other way, or they will take refuge in the civilian bosses, because of the extreme distrust of the military generals, many military positions are held by civilian officials, the so-called martial arts in the Song Dynasty, the test is all about the art of war articles rather than dancing knives and guns, the original intention is probably to weaken the military attaché's force, so that they have no threat.
Just as Zhu Yuanzhang said to the crown prince Zhu Biao, how difficult it is to hold a thorny thorn in your hand, I will help you pull out all the thorns, won't it be easy for you to pick it up?
However, the thornless thorn is safe for oneself, but for foreign enemies, what is the threat?
No one thinks about the joints in this, it is estimated that it is a common problem in the world, and they are more ruthless than outsiders, and they are more protective of their own people than tigers, so those literati who are the pillars of the country are still fighting for power and profit until the Jin soldiers surrounded Kaifeng City.
If it weren't for the appreciation and deliberate promotion of a big man like Cai Jinggao, Lin Chong knew very well that he had almost no tomorrow and future to speak of, what a good opportunity this was? What a favorable opportunity? If he seized this opportunity and climbed up to Cai Jing and Cai Xianggong, wouldn't it be a great thing? I also have a backstage, I don't have to worry about someone bullying me, in the past, in Tokyo City, if I was bullied, under the premise of not knowing the identity of the other party, Lin Chong didn't dare to start.
When Lin Chong told this story, several people in the family had their own ideas.
For example, Yue Flip was shocked by the appearance of Lu Qian, since Lu Qian appeared, it means that it is estimated that this world is a very special parallel world, because his sudden appearance has taken a fork in the road, the butterfly effect Yue Flip still understands, the appearance of a large number of Water Margin characters can no longer tolerate Yue Flip to have too much consideration, and the reason why this Lu Qian later framed Lin Chong seems to have another hidden meaning, at least now, Lu Qian spared no effort in order to repay Lin Chong, and did his best.
Yue Fei was curious about what Hua Shigang was, Lin Chong explained it hesitantly, Yue Fei, who was a young man, was furious, scolded Cai Jing, and shouted that Lin Chong couldn't do such a thing, it was a hurtful thing!
The final decision is in the hands of Zhou Tong, Zhou Tong knows how talented he is as an apprentice, and he also knows the depressed mood that he has never met, and naturally understands that although this opportunity hurts the heavens and the peace, but for Lin Chong, it is really a great opportunity that can be met but not sought, grasp this opportunity, Lin Chong can even soar into the sky, as long as he has a firm foothold in the army, what else is it?
Zhou Tong further thought of Lu Junyi and Yue Fei, if Lin Chong grasped this opportunity and became a general in the army, then with Lu Junyi's talent and rich family background, plus Lin Chong's assistance, it would not be difficult to get an official position for Lu Junyi, and the young Yue Fei Yue Tuo, if Lin Chong and Lu Junyi stood firm, then the future of Yue Fei and Yue Tuo would be guaranteed.
No matter from which point of view, Lin Chong is the best choice to accept this appointment, although it is morally and psychologically difficult to get through such a level, Zhou Tong was politically unsatisfactory before retiring, he is old, it doesn't matter, but Lin Chong is still young, only twenty-five years old, it is a good year, he can't bear to see Lin Chong's talent and good years wasted like this, this world, you don't go to climb the association, don't sell your conscience, what can you do?
It's not us who is wrong, it's the world!
"Chong'er, what if...... As a teacher, I mean that if you escort the Huashi Gang, you should, so that the people along the way will not encounter so much harsh treatment, right? Zhou Tong finally spoke
