12. Look northwest
"Senior brother, let's go to the northwest!"
Yue Chuan himself didn't expect that he would say this sentence by ghost, but in the future, he would forever change the fate of himself and the entire Han family.
Northwest, is the last road that Lin Chong can take after refusing Cai Jing's appointment, the northwest, there is currently the only army in the Great Song Dynasty that may be able to be promoted by virtue of bravery and military merits, there is the only army in the Great Song Dynasty that still has combat effectiveness, and it can also be called an army, and it is also the only army in the Great Song Dynasty that can accept Lin Chong and change Lin Chong.
The only reason why Lin Chong did not leave Tokyo at the beginning and went to the northwest to join the army was that the Zhao and Song royal policies and arrangements for the army were divided into the forbidden army, the border army and the box army, the forbidden army was the army that guarded the imperial city to protect the emperor, and it was also the most elite army in the Song Dynasty in name, but in fact the most well-equipped and best-paid army.
Theoretically, the most powerful forbidden army quickly corrupted after the conclusion of the alliance of the Yuanyuan, because there was no war, a hundred years of peace between Song and Liao, so that the forbidden army no longer had a strategic task, no fighting, naturally no progress, the corruption of the forbidden army was inevitable, and compared to the forbidden army, the border army had to fight bloodily in the sinister environment surrounded by foreigners, at the cost of their lives, but they got far less than the comfortable forbidden army.
According to the Zhao and Song Dynasty family laws, the forbidden army enjoys the highest treatment, enjoys the best equipment and firearms, among all the border armies, only the northwest frontier army can be allowed to use firearms for the needs of the Western Xia, and in addition, in terms of treatment and military salary, the border army is far inferior to the forbidden army.
There is no combat mission, comfortable, no danger to life, and more money, as long as it is a normal person, it is better to distinguish which side is better, and the Zhao Song family law also stipulates that the strong and brave soldiers and famous generals in the border army and the box army will be selected into the forbidden army in the annual selection to directly protect the safety of the emperor, so theoretically, the forbidden army composed of the elite of the border army should be the strongest, and it is also the elite weapons and the only firearms in the world.
But in fact, the forbidden army did not assume the responsibility they should bear, did not set up the credit of matching treatment, they just enjoyed, just enjoyed, no matter how strong the warriors dared to fight to the forbidden army, they would also be smelted by this melting pot of drunken dreams and death, melted into a pile of identical objects, and could no longer find the appearance of the elite, only the soldiers who were still fighting in the border army with the determination to die could continue to maintain their combat effectiveness.
Year after year, the elite of the border army has been withdrawn, and the border army has continuously cultivated the elite, which is not used where it should be used, but it is corrupted and degenerated in the atmosphere of drunken dreams and deaths under the city of Kaifeng, and can no longer find the killing spirit of the Jin Ge Iron Horse, and if he loses his murderous spirit, the soldiers are no longer soldiers, they are just pigs to be slaughtered, of course, the current Yue Tuan does not know that the real situation of the forbidden army is 108,000 miles worse than he imagined.
How ironic and absurd is it for a country that the most elite soldiers and the best weapons are not used against the battlefield in the field?
But Rao is like this, the Northwest Frontier Army is also the only army that can accept Lin Chong, accommodate Lin Chong, and protect Lin Chong, no matter how powerful Cai Jing is, he can't deter the Western Army, not to mention the current supreme commander of the Western Army, the first eunuch Tong Guan to be crowned king in history, Tong Guan and Cai Jing are not to deal with, if Cai Jing is offended because he refuses Cai Jing's appointment, only Tong Guan can protect Lin Chong.
And the Western Army, for the purpose of fighting against the Western Xia, has a group of generals who can still be said to be in the past, which can accommodate Lin Chong's generals, such as Lao Chong and Xiao Chong, as well as the famous story king Liu Guangshi and his father Liu Yanqing in the future.
There is the only place that can protect Lin Chong's last dignity and personality, only by going there, abandoning the rich military salary and comfortable life, going to the bitter cold northwest frontier, going to the northwest frontier fortress where life is in danger all the time, and the barbaric Xixia people continue to fight, keep fighting, and fight to the death, can there be tomorrow and a future to speak of!
In Lin Chong's eyes, the longing seemed to be getting stronger and stronger, and the brilliance in his eyes seemed to have a tendency to recover, his fists slowly clenched, not noticing Zhou Tong's surprised gaze and Yue Fei's yearning gaze.
Finally, Lin Chong gritted his teeth, frowned, and spoke: "Master, please forgive the disciple for being unfilial, the disciple can be poor, he can be unhappy, he can be talented, he can spend his time in vain, but he can't be a dog!" This is the last request of the disciple, the last willfulness, and please forgive the disciple! ”
Zhou Tong looked at Yue Fan, and after being surprised, he smiled apologetically at Lin Chong: "Chong'er, what's wrong with you?" The wrong thing is to be a teacher, when you are old, soft-hearted, and have no ambition, you even imagine that you are as spineless as a teacher, hehehe, although the martial artists of the Great Song Dynasty have no status, but the teacher has always believed that the real martial artist is a man who stands up to the sky, a real man like General Di Qing, Chong'er, for the teacher, I hope that you can become the next General Di. ”
Lin Chong clasped his fists and smiled: "Thank you, Master!" P5, P6, thank you too! ”
Yue Fei showed a hearty and silly smile: "No, no, as long as the senior brother can figure it out, a traitor like Cai Jing must not die well, how can a real man like senior brother be his subordinate, senior brother should go to the Western Army and fight with the Western Xia people!" Get rid of those hateful barbarians! ”
Yue Chuan smiled slightly: "If Senior Brother can make great achievements and become a general, it would be great, I still remember that Senior Brother Lu seems to have a relationship with the Little Seed Sect Minister, it is better to let Senior Brother Lu and the Little Seed Sect Slightly Princess, or to get a jackpot for the senior brother, and the senior brother can also gain a better foothold after entering the Western Army, but although the Western Army has generals like the old breed and the small breed of Xianggong, there are also people like Tong Guan, and I hope the senior brother will pay more attention." ”
Compared with Yue Fei's pure congratulations, Yue Fan's suggestion has a good implementation value, Lin Chong nodded: "Senior brother understands, Xiao Wu, Xiao Liu, thank you, Xiao Liu, you have never wanted to be a martial artist, it doesn't matter, study hard, get fame in the future, be a big official, senior brother also wants someone to be a backer in the court, hehe, Xiao Wu, you have always wanted to join the army to serve the country, very good, senior brother will go to the Western Army first to wait for you, wait for you to come, senior brother will take you to fight the Xixia people together!" ”
Yue Fei was overjoyed: "Okay! When I grow up, I will definitely come to the northwest to find my senior brother and fight the Tangut people together! ”
Yue turned his hand and smiled: "Xiao Liu understands, I hope that Senior Brother will make more military exploits and shock the Quartet!" ”
………………………………
At night, everyone slept, but Lin Chong didn't sleep, standing alone in the courtyard, looking at the northwest sky, I don't know what he was thinking, suddenly, Lin Chong didn't know where a big gun appeared in his hand, under the moonlight, the big gun flashed a little cold light, dancing around Lin Chong's body in the airtight, like a piece of pear blossom dazzling, but also as fast as a rainstorm, it was Zhou Dong's lifelong mastery of the rainstorm pear flower gun.
I don't know when, Lin Niangzi appeared in the courtyard, a pair of beautiful eyes stared at Lin Chong, who was smart, her face was indifferent, and she couldn't see what she was thinking at all, until Lin Chong finished dancing the gun, only to find that his beloved wife had been standing aside and waiting for a long time, and Lin Chong, who loved his wife, hurriedly stepped forward and held his beloved wife's hand: "Lady, it's getting late, why don't you go to sleep?" ”
Lin Niangzi held Lin Chong's hand, and took out one hand to wipe Lin Chong's sweat with her own handkerchief, and said faintly: "If the husband doesn't sleep, how can the slave family sleep?" ”
Lin Chong sighed slightly and said, "You know everything?" ”
Lin Niangzi nodded: "I know, my husband wants to go to the northwest." ”
Lin Chong held Lin Niangzi's hand tightly, and sighed: "I go here for my husband, I don't know if I can win fame, whether I can make great contributions, and I don't know if I can return safely, Ruozhen, you and I have been married for three years, although I have never had a son and a daughter, but I treat you sincerely, I also know that you treat me sincerely, but you are only twenty-three years old, if I die on the battlefield, you must not observe the festival for me, find a good family, remarry, so, I am under the nine springs, you can also ......"
Lin Chong didn't finish speaking, Lin Niangzi covered Lin Chong's mouth, Lin Niangzi didn't cry, didn't make trouble, but showed a delicate smile, as if she was coquettish with Lin Chong: "What did you say, husband?" As the saying goes, marry a chicken with a chicken, marry a dog with a dog, if the husband wants to leave Tokyo, how can he not take the slave family with him? No matter what, no matter life or death, wherever the husband goes, the slave family will go, and the husband will never want to leave the slave family in his life! ”
Lin Chong looked at Lin Niangzi in a daze, and then saw Lin Niangzi's smiling face, a pair of beautiful eyes full of tears, he could no longer suppress the emotions in his heart, tightly hugged Lin Niangzi into his arms, and choked up: "Lin Chong He De How can he be, he has to be so favored by the lady, there is a lady today, he day, if Lin Chong is lucky, he will live up to the lady!" ”
