Deng Da did not hesitate, and immediately took out the secret letter and handed it to Wu Er.

Wu Er pinched the letter, squinted his eyes by the last bit of sunset, and read it carefully a few times before he looked up.

There was something in his eyes, and there was a desire to read in his eyes, but because he was a perennial man, he had doubts about everything.

Deng Da understood that he must have concerns in his heart at this time, so he did not urge, but said: "This is the edict of His Royal Highness King Song, who is His Royal Highness King Song, I don't need to say it, you are a person who often reads the newspaper." ”

Wu Er looked at Deng Da and said, "Your Highness...... What he meant......"

His meaning is very clear, that is, to cut off the traitor at once, to eliminate the evil, and since the traitor has enveloped the ignorant people, then ...... Since there are reckless people who have risen up. Your situation, His Royal Highness King Song knows! And Di Bao, you have also read so much, naturally you know what the policy of the New Deal is? ”

Wu Er said with a complicated expression: "Tan Min...... And the same as the rest of the people? ”

Deng Da said calmly: "The Tan people are also my Ming people, and they are the most ordinary people, and they are all like this, and the Tan people are naturally treated equally. ”

Wu Er bit his lip, still looking hesitant.

Deng Da said: "If you can't believe it, then it's okay." I still have a lot of things to do, and I'll have to go to other villages later. ”

"Wait a minute." Wu Er said: "Mr. Deng, if you go alone, I'm afraid it's not safe." ”

Looking at the look of concern on Wu Er's face, Deng Da smiled and said, "I'm confident, everyone can still trust me." ”

At this time, Deng Da's face was still pleasant, but at this moment, under this pleasant face, there was a little more pride.

I didn't dare to say anything else, but Deng Da believed that he had gained credit here.

Wu Er hesitated for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "This matter is too big, I need to discuss it with the big guy." ”

Deng Da bowed his head, and said in a serious tone: "Time cannot wait, these traitors, and those scholars, you know it in your heart." They have become a thing, then the people will never turn over, think about it, you have been adrift at sea for hundreds of years, wronged to survive, generations, which generation has not had blood and tears, missed this opportunity, teach them to really resist the new deal, then ...... It's really a catastrophe. ”

He paused, and then said: "Deng is from a famous family in Jiangxi, this Xia Xian brother is also a famous family, without the new deal, we will not lose a future, fine clothes and jade food, needless to say." But if there is no New Deal, it is you who will really beg for food for generations and have no feet on the ground. The implementation of the New Deal was meant to benefit the people of the world, and if we were to sit idly by and watch someone obstruct the New Deal in the name of rebellion, then ......"

Dunda's tone began to get heavier, and said; "So...... You are willing to live your life like this, but what about your son, what about your grandson? Is it like you? You are already a scholar, and you are sensible. ”

If it is said that there is a big truth, Wu Er is still hesitating, but when he is questioned about his son and grandson, he can't help but shudder.

Wu Er said calmly: "The two gentlemen will give me a few hours, tomorrow morning...... At the latest, tomorrow morning, the two gentlemen will be waiting for me here, and I will give them an explanation. ”

Deng Da and Xia Xuan glanced at each other, and Deng Da bowed: "Very good." ”

Wu Er was already preoccupied, but he chattered with the other men, and everyone stopped selling fish, still carrying the bamboo basket, so he went back to the boat, and soon after, he entered the bay and gradually disappeared.

The sky had already darkened, and watching the ship gradually disappear on the horizon, Xia Xuan couldn't help but say, "Chief Deng, are we really waiting?" ”

Deng Da said without hesitation: "Wait! ”

Xia Xuan had a deep puzzle on his face, and couldn't help but say, "But why are you looking for these Tan people first?" ”

Deng Dadao: "Because the Tan people are the most miserable, and there is no way out. ”

Xia Xuan said, "But ...... This Wu Er can really ......"

Deng Da nodded and said: "He has read books and seen what the world is like, if it is an ordinary person, we may need to patiently explain to the other party countless times, and the other party may not be willing to believe us, but Wu Er understands." ”

Xia Xuan said: "It's just ...... Just one Wu Er understands...... And how can you ......?"

"You don't understand." Deng Da showed a smile and said, "In this world, do you know why you respect scholars?" Because they are good at reasoning, they know right from wrong, Wu Er can read and write, and he must have a very high prestige among the people. The Tan people may not believe in other people, but Wu Er is not only their own people, but also well-informed, His Majesty's will, they may not believe it, His Royal Highness the King of Song's edict, they may believe it, you and me, they may not listen, but if Wu Er is determined to do it with us, then ...... It's different. ”

"The two of us, His Royal Highness the King of Song; Wu Er believes in us, and the people believe in Wu Er. ”

"This is also why, the implementation of the new deal, but also to popularize knowledge, a new deal charter, if there are not tens of thousands of people like Wu Er, it is just a piece of paper, this is also the responsibility of our postal department, now ...... You know, we're not just running errands. ”

Xia Xuan didn't answer this question directly, but said, "I don't know if the others are going well." ”

The other people he was talking about may be other post guards in Pingtan Station, or thousands of post guards in 67 post stations in the whole of Fujian.

Dunda patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't think about anything else, just do our own thing." ”

Early the next morning.

The two of them are back on the beach.

In the midst of anxious waiting, at dawn, the mist on the sea had just lifted.

But at this time, ships appeared on the sea.

Most of these ships, most of them rudimentary, washed up on the beach, and immediately the black and crushed people rushed up.

Hundreds.

Wu Er, who was burly, jumped off the boat first, but he was holding a harpoon in his hand, and the rest of the people, holding all kinds of guys, also came over with Wu Er.

Wu Er came straight to them, shouting, "Two gentlemen, let's figure it out." ”

With a smile in his eyes, Deng Da's anxiety was swept away, and he looked at Wu Erdao: "What do you understand?" ”

Wu Er said with a bit of determination: "Let's listen to His Royal Highness King Song, Mr. Deng and Mr. Xia." ”

Looking at more and more people, Deng Da was already excited, these people, one by one, barefoot, dark complexion, usually cowering, but now, one by one, with a guy in his hand, he has a little more fierce spirit.

Deng Da still said: "I went to kill the thief, but I want to die." ”

Wu Er was silent for a moment, then plunged the harpoon into the sand, his eyes overflowed with determination, and said, "Sir, do it." ”

Deng Da laughed and said, "Good! ”

Xia Xuan suddenly felt that his blood was hot.

At the beginning, he came here to run errands for no reason, probably more like a rebellious teenager, in order to be angry with his father, the result of impulsiveness.

After that, he gradually got used to this kind of work, and he found it quite interesting.

But no matter how interesting it is, this kind of work is hard, but now, it is very different, he has seen with his own eyes, as long as he raises his arms, there are really many people who come up.

At this time, his feelings were a little dizzy.

"Chief Deng, I'll go to Shangjiaoli and recruit young people." Xia Xuan took the initiative to ask, and there was a light called hope in her eyes.

He also hopes that he can contribute as much as possible, he has been running in the area of Shangjiaoli recently, and he is familiar with the people there.

"Be careful." Deng Da advised: "Teach Wu Er to allocate dozens of people to protect you, and I will take people to Tandong here, and we will meet in three days." ”

"Okay."

At first, if it was a little rusty, but once experienced, there was a second time.

Dunda chose to recruit the Tan people first because they had the highest success, after all, taking the first step was the most difficult and extremely dangerous, because no one could be sure if someone would tie the two up and send them to the rebels.

But now, with the first pot of gold, it is completely different, with people and horses, to other villages, each village is familiar with the road, and the local village men, women and children, is also very familiar, and there is a team of people as guards, looking for local people to read the newspaper and read, directly convey the meaning of His Royal Highness King Song, if you refuse to participate, it is not hindered, you can take people away.

But Xia Xuan soon found out that things were easier than he imagined.

Many times, he doesn't need to patiently explain anything, in fact, he only needs a few words, and the blood of the convenience is boiling.

Through Di Bao, not only has a group of scholars been trained, but these people can no longer fish and farm on their own, and they also want a future.

Some hope to go to Nanzhili, some hope to be able to enter the university hall, and some hope to enter the model camp, the railway department, and the postal department.

What's even more terrifying is that these wild readers who read the newspaper will pass on the content of the newspaper to the people around them through oral dictation.

And these people, even if they don't know the original intention of the new deal, can probably know that the new deal is good for them.

At this time, the post guard also played a great role, because on weekdays, shuttling through the villages, familiar with each other, the villagers are very simple, far away in the sky, the kind of invisible and untouchable things, for them, too far away, very unreal, no matter how the sky falls, no matter how good it is said in the newspaper, even if they believe some, they will never take action because of this.

But as soon as the familiar face of the post man appeared, the big guy was down-to-earth, Xiao Xia is still very reliable, he has read books, he treats people kindly on weekdays, he runs to the village every day, and he reads letters to people and writes letters on behalf of others, he is a real person.

Since those rebels don't give people a way to live, let's do it.

This kind of thing, almost once they make up their minds, whether it is a Tan people or an ordinary tenant, they are more real than anyone else, looking for a guy, bringing some food that can be brought at home, they will not hesitate at all, they are not as much as Xia Xuan's eyes, and occasionally have other thoughts, but at this time, it is no longer Xia Xuan who takes the big guy to do something, but everyone pushes Xia Xuan to persevere to the end.

Three days later, the two made peace, and on the same day, Tan Nanxiang gathered 2,000 people, and then began to attack Tandong, where a few traitors were entrenched.

The battle situation in this is really beyond words.

Because it's purely rookies pecking at each other.

If it's war, that's a bit of an overstatement.

It's more like a large-scale village fight.

And when it comes to fighting, they seem to be extremely professional.

Most of the time, it was people all over the mountains, and they couldn't distinguish between friend and foe for a while, and they rushed to kill each other for a while, and before many people were killed or injured, the victory or defeat was revealed.

Ten days later, 7,000 people had gathered, and the Deng and Xia people, who had been gathered with other posts, had joined forces with 30,000 people, and immediately took several county towns occupied by the rebels.

seized the two counties, and countless post guards came to defect with men and horses.

So much so that the big guys don't know how many people they have.

Although the two sides of the battle are very vegetable, this is not because the combat strength of both sides is too low, but because their advantages are equal.

Whether it is a rebel army or a temporary conscription of the imperial court, they are all native people, and they are also familiar with the local geography, understand the local people's conditions, and know each other well.

The so-called rebels were soon unable to support themselves, on the one hand, because before the officers and troops arrived, they had already encountered such a powerful opponent, which made them cowardly.

On the other hand, most of the people coerced by the rebels were ignorant, while the middle and upper classes were mostly some scholars, or the heroes of the scholars who took care of their homes and homes, and these people were more just coercing the lower leaders to rebel.

On the other hand, Deng Da and Xia Xuan are in a different situation, most of their backbones are people who read and write at the beginning, they were originally ordinary people, they can eat and sleep with the soldiers around them, and they admire Deng Da, Xia Xuan and others.

Ten days later, Fujian was shaken.

The main force of the rebel army besieging the city of Fuzhou suddenly found that in all directions, the mighty military horses were marching from everywhere and killing them.

………………

And at this time, in the palace of the king of Song.

"Is there any news from Fujian?"

"Not yet."

Zhang Anshi frowned, put his hands behind his back, and walked back and forth in the study with a little distraction.

In fact, he is a little uncertain now, calculating the time, it has been almost a month, but because of the raging rebels, Fujian and Guangxi and other places are already rugged, and many roads have been cut off by the rebels.

Although they have tried their best to restore transportation and communication, Nanjing is too far away after all.

Zhang Anshi's mood at this time was inevitably a little anxious, he suddenly stood still, looked at Zhang San and said: "It's really not possible, it seems that we still have to use the model camp." ”

Zhang San has followed Zhang Anshi since he was a child, and he is a little closer than others in front of Zhang Anshi, and he is not taboo at this time: "I heard people outside say that His Royal Highness has obtained the will, but he still does not move in the capital, and he does not see the dispatch of troops, saying that His Highness is afraid of death......

"Into the, who said that?" Zhang Anshi sneered: "They just can't see people." ”

Zhang Sanzi was also worried, so he said: "Your Highness, why don't you move, even if it ...... Lead the troops to the south of Zhejiang, so as not to teach people to gossip. ”

"You know a bird." Zhang Anshi shook his head, he walked quickly to the table, sat down, and muttered: "I don't believe it, these bullshit people can coerce the people, I, Zhang Anshi's new policy for so many years, is not as good as them!" Zhang San, if you were farming at home, who would you follow? ”

Suddenly asked this question, Zhang San had to think about it seriously before saying, "Maybe it's ...... Rebels. Ahh......hhh Your Highness, I am talking nonsense......"

Zhang Anshi glared at him: "Why?" ”

Under Zhang Anshi's gaze, Zhang San hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to tell the truth, and said: "What kind of scholar does Your Highness say, I have also read books with His Highness for so many years, and I probably know something...... Do you think, the scholars have deep roots in the local tree, and even go back to the top, but for hundreds of years, don't these many people, from generation to generation, rely on them for their livelihood? ”

"On weekdays, they rented their land, and in their spare time the young children grazed their cattle, the adult men helped them, and the women helped them with their domestic servants or sew. Your Royal Highness, don't you don't like to listen to what I say, this person was born to live on people, but he is not contemptuous, he is used to it. ”

Obviously, after hearing these words, Zhang Anshi was in a worse mood, and said irritably: "Get out." ”

Zhang Sanxin said, look, you are anxious again, when it comes to the sore spots, His Royal Highness is anxious.

Of course, Zhang San understood that Zhang Anshi was very upset at this time, and he didn't plan to continue to be an eyesore again, and was about to leave, but Zhang Anshi said abruptly: "Come back." ”

Zhang San turned around and said, "Your Highness." ”

Zhang Anshi raised his eyebrows and said, "You, did you see that I was speechless, so I was still secretly refreshed?" ”

"Ah...... This ......," Zhang San hurriedly shook his head.

"Don't think I don't know, I'll know just by looking at you."

"I ...... I ......" Zhang San hurriedly wanted to explain.

"So......" Zhang Anshi suddenly laughed: "You say...... People get used to it, but if you think about it, were you used to it in the past? When did you start raising bars with me? ”

Zhang San was stunned, a little bit didn't quite understand what Zhang Anshi wanted to say at this time.

Zhang Anshi said: "It can be seen that those books, you have not read in vain, and this atmosphere of Zhili, you have not been less touched, although you are still the same Zhang San, but in fact, it is different from the previous Zhang San, at least you no longer regard me as a god, see that I dare not come out, but I already know how to refute, and after succeeding, I can't help but feel dark in my heart, Zhang San, you have changed." ”

Zhang San: "......"

Zhang Anshi immediately became triumphant: "So, your set of bullshit that is used to becoming natural doesn't make sense at all!" Those who are accustomed to nature will only be cows and horses, but as long as they are people, how can such spirits of all things be willing to be cattle and horses in the world, and obey everywhere? ”

After that, the anxiety on his face seemed to be a little easier, and then he said: "Okay, don't talk back now, give me a trip to the post office and ask if there is any news over there." ”

Zhang San looked at Zhang Anshi, and saw that His Royal Highness the King of Song was staring at him with wide eyes, Zhang San showed a stupid look, and had to say, "Yes, then I'll go." ”

Immediately, he grabbed his tail and fled.
