Chapter 82: Shocking Changes
(Asking for tickets...... )
-
The two of them were talking, when they suddenly heard footsteps, and they both shut up.
The young man surnamed Zhao looked around, and when he saw Chen Ke retreating into the cabin, he quickly followed, and the two leaned side by side behind the door, waiting for a team of patrolling soldiers to pass, and they couldn't help but laugh at Fang Cai's actions.
With the section of Fangcai, when they returned to the deck, the two felt much closer. Chen Ke smiled: "This little brother, you are also rubbing the boat, right?" ”
"Rubbing the boat?" The young man surnamed Zhao was a little ignorant and said, "What kind of boat?" ”
'Pretend, you can really pretend to be ......' Chen Ke said with a smile: "This is a grain ship, not carrying people." When you appear on the boat, isn't it rubbing the boat? ”
"In this way, I am also right to ......" The young man surnamed Zhao nodded and said: "I did rub the boat." ”
Chen Ke leaned on the railing, stretched his waist beautifully, took a breath of cool lake breeze and said, "You must be a child of a big family." ”
"How do you know?"
"Haha, at this juncture, it doesn't matter at all, and it's impossible to get on the official ship."
"If it's really the son of a big family," the young man surnamed Zhao said very keenly: "Why should I hide from people." ”
"It's better to have more than one thing," Chen Ke said with his muscles and bones: "It's better to have nothing to do less." ”
"Hahaha......" The young man surnamed Zhao laughed in a low voice, since he was born, no one has ever spoken to him like this.
The two talked happily for a few more words, and Chen Ke said after an appointment: "I have to go back." ”
"What's the hurry, it's still early."
"I still have a companion waiting to let the wind out," Chen Ke smiled: "If you want to chat, you can find him." ”
"Forget it." The young man surnamed Zhao shook his head and said, "I should go back too." ”
Chen Ke pursed his lips and said secretly, the nobleman is so seriously ill.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When he came out to breathe the next night, Chen Ke met the young man surnamed Zhao again.
"What a coincidence." The young man smiled at him.
"Hey......" Chen Ke smiled: "Unfortunately, in a boat, the time to release the wind is limited, and it is inevitable to run into it." ”
"That's right." The young man smiled: "It's a pity that I will have to get off the boat tomorrow." ”
'Uh......' Chen Ke couldn't help but get goosebumps, he really wanted to make a lantern and shine on this kid's face to see if it was a beautiful man like Cheng Dalang.
The two chatted with each other, and naturally when it came to the current war, the young man shook his head and sighed: "I really can't figure it out, why the 200,000 soldiers and horses on the two roads of Guangnan were killed by a small Nong Zhigao, it is really embarrassing." ”
"Oh, your perspective is a bit of a commanding style," Chen Ke smiled: "But why can't you be killed and defeated?" ”
"We have an absolute superiority in numbers, and we are not fighting in the field but defending the city. How can you face the enemy in the best way? Although it was dark and he couldn't see his face clearly, the young man must have been angry.
"Fighting a war is not playing cards, and you may not be able to win if you play good cards." Chen Ke shook his head and said, "Although Nong Zhigao only has 5,000 people, on the eve of the rebellion, it is said that a fire burned his lair to the ground. He then told his subordinates that the savings of the entire tribe had been burned up by the fire, and that the food that had been snatched out would not be enough for the whole tribe to eat for ten days. If you want to survive, you can only break Yongzhou City, occupy Guangzhou, and establish a country on your own, otherwise everyone will die! "This is all the day before yesterday, I heard the man who suspected Shao Yong said, and he used it to fry and sell.
"I've heard about that, too," the young man sighed.
"It's not like the wrecked ship of the overlord of Western Chu?"
"You mean......" The young man said with wide eyes, "That fire, was set by Nong Zhigao himself?" ”
"Do you need to ask?" Chen Ke sat on the railing, shook his head and smiled: "Even if you marry a daughter-in-law, you have to prepare for a month in advance, not to mention that this is a rebellion, brother, without a few years of careful preparation, who dares to shout the word 'anti'?" ”
"You're right, on the second day of the fire, you can set off to fight Yongzhou," the young man believed it, nodded and said, "It's definitely not an accident, but man-made." ”
"Well, it's just this momentum that breaks the boat." Chen Ke nodded and said, "At least in terms of determination, he is already above the vast majority of the Song Dynasty people!"
"You are the ...... of destroying your own prestige with the will of others" The young man shook his head and said: "The southerners have always been weak and powerless, and the imperial court has already requisitioned the elites from the north to the south, and when the time comes, Nong Zhigao will naturally reveal his true form." ”
"Hehe, elite ......" Chen Ke's evaluation of the combat strength of the Song army was all derived from the textbooks of his previous life, so he shook his head disdainfully and smiled: "There are no heroes in the world, which makes Zhao Yuanhao famous." I think that all the ministers who were fighting in the northwest at that time were not enough. ”
Hearing him mention the Northwest Battlefield, the Song army fought a decisive battle with ten times the strength and a hundred times the financial resources, but was beaten into a sieve by Zhao Yuanhao, who was not strong in combat effectiveness...... That's the most powerful Western Army. The young man was speechless, and only after a while did he say in a muffled voice: "Li Yuanhao has been working hard for three generations, and his strength is far beyond the imagination of the Chinese people. How can Nong Zhigao compare to him? Believe it or not, as soon as the commander sent by the imperial court to quell the rebellion arrived, it was the time when the thieves were destroyed. ”
"Who does the imperial court send south?" Chen Ke asked curiously.
"This has long been known to the government and the public, so it doesn't hurt to tell you." The young man groaned and said, "One is Yu Wuxi, the governor of Tanzhou, and the other is Yang Ledao, the judge of the third division...... Uh, have you ever heard of these two names? ”
"The former one is the one in the 'Four Commandments of Qingli'." Chen Ke said uncertainly: "The latter one has never heard of it." "Yu Wuxi's name is Yu Jing, Wuxi is his number, and his profession is a speech official. In the Qingli Party Struggle that year, Cai Xiang wrote the poem "Four Sages and One Unscrupulous", praising Fan, Ouyang, Yin, and Yu as the 'Four Sages', and Gao as the 'Unscrupulous'. Among them, the poem 'Cut off the head and horns of Andao, and the air rainbow is full of sky. Chen Jing has a bent sentence in his chest, and he does not avoid Xiao Axe', which is to praise Yu Jing.
This poem was later written and sold by people, and became well-known far and wide. Even the Khitan envoy heard about it, and also bought a copy of the poem and posted it in the Youzhou Pavilion, and Yu Jingyou was well-known at home and abroad.
After becoming famous, Yu Jing made persistent efforts...... Or rather, he intensified his efforts and mercilessly put forward his opinions to the emperor. It is said that when he was emotional, he sprayed spit on the emperor's face without knowing it. Such a pioneer general of the Qingli New Deal was naturally implicated after the failure of the New Deal. It has stood aside for many years, and now it is activated again at the time of national crisis.
Chen Ke naturally didn't dare to doubt the personality and fame of Mr. Yu Jing...... It's just that now it's a war, alas, what are you sending a speaker to do in the past? Do you expect to convince people with reason, or use poisonous tongue kung fu to scold Nong Zhigao to death?
Fortunately, the young man quickly solved his doubts. The mystery lies in the deputy marshal Yang Le Dao - Yang, the Yang of the Yang family.
The young man told Chen Ke. Yang Jin is the grandson of Yang Ye's brother Yang Chongxun and the cousin of the general Yang Wenguang. Because of this relationship, although Yang Jin is a genuine Jinshi, he can't always do his job...... It's not that he doesn't care about his work, but wherever there is a rebellion, the court will transfer him to quell the rebellion.
Nine years ago, it was the Yao people on Jinghu South Road who rebelled, although the scale was not as large as this time, but the difficulty was the same...... As soon as the fight begins, the Yao people will be killed! Because Song Jun ran out in a blink of an eye, he left the dignified boss in the local area. In order to avoid the humiliation of the prestige of his ancestors, Yang Ji had to jump off the cliff, but fortunately, the cliff was not deep and the grass was thick, so he escaped with his life.
Yang Jin is worthy of being a descendant of the Yang family generals, and in this desperate situation, two years later, he actually put down the rebellion. So this time a similar situation occurred, and the first thing the imperial court thought of was him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chen Ke understood that Yu Jing, who was politically strong in the emotional faction, came as a political commissar. Yang Jin is in charge of military command. It sounds like a good combination, with experience and prestige. But he still had questions: "Why is it so complicated, I heard that Ming Xianggong and Wen Xianggong have just quelled the Beizhou Rebellion, not to mention Han Xianggong, Lord Yin, Master Zhang and others who led troops in the northwest in the past, why don't you send them?" ”
"Hey......" The young man smiled a little awkwardly, "Maybe you don't need to slaughter a cow knife to kill chickens." "In fact, it is because in this era, the only area that the imperial court can effectively rule is north of the Yangtze River. South of the Yangtze River, especially in the Lingnan region, like Sichuan beyond Jianmen Pass, was a place where the Song Dynasty could not grow long. The imperial court didn't dare to send a powerful person over, in case a Southern Han appeared again, it would be a lot of fun.
The topic became heavier and heavier, and the time was not early, so the two stopped continuing, hugged their fists and said goodbye, and went back to their rooms, without asking each other what their names were.
The next morning, the official ship arrived at Hengyang Wharf. Chen Ke and the others couldn't wait to get out of the warehouse, but they were stopped by the official who brought them on the boat, and said, "There is a noble person who wants to get off the ship, you wait first." ”
"Nobleman, what nobleman?" Chen Ke's heart moved, relying on his height, and looked out. I saw dozens of men in strong suits, guarding a middle-aged man dressed as a Confucian scholar, behind the middle-aged man, followed by a man and a woman, the woman wore a white gauze cover, the man was well-proportioned, tall, and Bacheng was the one he talked about for two consecutive nights.
The young man seemed to be aware of it, and when he turned around, he showed a dignified face with Chinese characters, and he also saw Chen Ke, grinning at him, and followed the middle-aged man and boarded the sedan chair they carried.
"This family is big enough...... "Song Duanping said: "Let's do business." ”
"Not really." Chen Ke shook his head and said, "It's like a big official's son." ”
After a quarter of an hour, they were finally able to disembark.
As soon as I entered Hengyang City, I found that it had become a military city. This important town, which runs from the north to the south, gathered a large number of troops who had retreated from the Liangguang Road, and there were new troops from all over the country. The nearby transshipment divisions are also making every effort to transport military supplies to the city.
So it is conceivable that the whole city is in chaos. The streets are full of carts, stuffed and overflowing. The smell of animal manure is nostril-shaping. Under the eaves and in the shops, there were crowded with disheveled officers and soldiers, eating, drinking, playing with money, making noise, making chaos, and foul language taking off all over the sky.
Otherwise, people say that 'when there is an organization, they are soldiers, and when they are not organized, they are bandits', which is not true at all, Chen Ke and the four of them have seen several incidents of forcibly robbing people's property and beating people. Fortunately, the four of them looked poor and unprovoked, and they didn't encounter any trouble when they heard about Hengyang County Ya all the way.
"Finally home!" Everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Chen Ke stepped forward and said to the old messenger guarding the door: "This old man, may I ask if this is the Hengyang County Ya?" ”
"I am, but not now." Seeing that he was tall, the old messenger replied honestly: "Now it is the residence of the transfer envoy on Jinghu South Road." ”
"Where did the county government move now?" Chen Ke asked.
"It's in there, too, what are you doing?" The old messenger was alert and said.
"I want to find Chen Daling."
"Chen Daling......" The old messenger widened his eyes and said, "You are?" ”
"I'm his son."
"Ah......" The old messenger's face changed at first, and he was just about to speak, when an official from the yamen came out. He was suddenly extremely nervous, and glanced at Chen Ke again and again, then raised the stick in his hand, and while driving them away, he said loudly: "Quickly dodge, quickly dodge, now at this time, who cares about your trivialities!" ”
Chen Ke suddenly felt strange, Wulang was about to have a seizure, and he was held down and dragged out.
"What do they do?" The officer stopped and asked the messenger.
"A few dolls, they lost their entanglements and wanted to report to the official." The messenger opened his eyes and spoke nonsense.
"Alas, you don't look at it, how can the government still have the kung fu to help you catch the thief." The official shook his head and said, "Take them in to prepare the case." With that, he hurried away.
"Shhh......h ”
"Why?" Chen Ke was stunned.
"Don't pestle here, my house is in the fifth household next street, and the door god is still attached to the door, the key is on the edge of the door, you go to my house first and wait for me." The messenger commanded repeatedly, urging urgently: "Let's go quickly......"
"You tell me what's wrong with my dad first, and I'll leave." Chen Ke frowned tightly.
"Something's wrong, I'm in jail." The messenger was about to go crazy: "If you don't leave again, and you attract the people of the law department, you will accompany your father to go to prison!" ”
Chen Ke finally calmed down, left the yamen with the three of them, and found his home according to the instructions of the messenger, felt the key and opened the door.
Entering the house, Song Duanping panicked and said, "Uncle Chen will be fine." Although Gorou didn't ask, he was also nervous.
"Amitabha Buddha ......" the little monk Xuanyu clasped his hands together.
"I'll talk about it when the man comes." Chen Ke shook his head, spit out a breath of turbidity and said, "I didn't expect it, it's really right." ”
