Chapter Seventy-Five: Either Be a Song Man or a Jin Man
Sending Wu Yang and Mo Xiaoyu away, Zhang Tao began a difficult battle!
He dragged the sick body to visit the officials of Lin'an City one by one, with only one purpose: to rescue the East China Sea!
He sent a letter to all his relatives and friends outside Lin'an City, and there was only one topic: to rescue the East China Sea!
Chen Kangbo looked at the stubborn old man in front of him and had a headache: "Brother Zi, why don't I want to rescue the East China Sea, but since I am the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, I can't help but think about the people of the Great Song Dynasty. ”
Zhang Tao snorted and said: "Always afraid of wolves and tigers in the past, how can the bloodiness of the Great Song Dynasty soldiers be restored?" No amount of consideration is as good as a war! We are not ready, is it true that the Kingdom of Jin is ready? If they are ready, what does it matter if we are ready or not? Could it be that the emperor of the Jin Kingdom will extinguish his ambitions, fall into great ambitions, and not be able to shrink out because of this? ”
He begged again and again: "Chen Xianggong, Lord Chen, just let me beg you to save the East China Sea!" Even if you don't send troops, while the sea route is still open, can't you secretly transfer the people of the East China Sea to the Great Song Dynasty? Only do not know anything about the outside world, can the emperor of the Jin State still send troops to my Great Song Dynasty to search? They are also the people of my Han family! It was the king and the court of the Great Song Dynasty who failed them, not them who failed the king and the court! ”
Tang Si retreated and pointed at Zhang Tao, his face turned pale with anger.
"Isn't it true that you are the only loyal minister in the world, Zhang Tao, and you are the only one who cares about the people and has a social mind? Absurd! You are the biggest traitor in the name of direct invitation, regardless of the life and death of the people of the Great Song Dynasty! ”
Zhang Tao sneered: "Tang Xiang has the ability to drown Zhang with saliva today, otherwise it will be difficult to hide the mouths of the people!" Tang Xiang said that rescuing the East China Sea was a traitor, so what about Tang Xiang? Like you, you have to put all the Han people and heroes who cherish their homeland to death, and let the Jin people slaughter them all is loyal and patriotic? Is it to love the people of Limin? ”
Tang Siwei was forced by Zhang Tao step by step, and sat on the Taishi chair, "You go, I don't want to see you!" ”
Zhang Tao was about to give the Prime Minister of the Great Song Dynasty a few more cruel words, and it was best to be so angry that he vomited blood and died.
Mo Xiaoyu rushed forward and knelt on the ground with an arrow, he hugged Tang Siwei's thighs and begged: "My lord, it's not that we want to drag down the people of Lin'an and the Great Song Dynasty, it's really the Jin people who want to build a ship to attack the Great Song Dynasty, we refuse, they will kill people, and if they are not satisfied, they will throw people alive into the Ding furnace or burn them or boil oil, they also say that they use human bones for heating, and use human oil for lighting is to save more wood, so as to build a big ship for the Emperor of Jin!"
My master, Zhang Wang, and Xu Yuan, who refused to help the Jin people harm the Song Dynasty, discussed doing things on the hull. At first, it was okay, but then the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom sent an overseer over, the supervisor is said to have been in charge of the construction of ships in the Great Song Dynasty, he was knowledgeable, he found out that the boatmen were moving, and immediately sent someone to arrest the families of the boatmen, the women were raped and killed, the children were thrown to death, and the bodies were thrown into the furnace to boil oil, and said that they would use the grease to illuminate the big guys, so that everyone could build a ship for the Emperor of Jin under the torch lit by the grease made by their relatives......"
Seeing their own women being raped and killed, their children being thrown to death, and being thrown into the furnace to boil, the few boatmen who were caught red-handed immediately went crazy, they roared, and broke free from the suppression of the golden people with several times more strength than usual, and grabbed axes, iron drills, and sledgehammers...... Everything that can be used as a weapon rushes towards the Overseer like a mad cow!
There is only one word in their heads: kill! Kill this dog day! Cut him with a thousand knives and break his body into thousands of pieces!
When Zhang Wang and Xu Yuan arrived when they heard the news, the overseer was already dead, chopped into a puddle of minced meat, trampled by the bare feet of the boatmen, and became a puddle of stains on the newly made deck!
Mo Xiaoyu let go of Tang Sihui's legs, he sat down on the ground, and wiped a few handfuls of tears from his face with his sleeves: "We want to endure it, we want to endure until the day when the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty and the imperial court come to rescue us, but he won't let the golden man of the dog day!" ”
Zhang Tao returned to the court on the third day, and the six branches remained silent on the matter of rescuing the East China Sea.
The letters he sent to the provincial governments of various states were like a stone sinking into the sea, and there were few responders, only Zhang Jun, who was relegated to Yongzhou, wrote to the emperor, requesting to send troops to the East China Sea to rescue the people, but the emperor did not send them, and there was not even a single blister on the court.
In the final analysis, human nature is selfish, and few people can take risks to save a city and let the people of a country take risks, especially since this city and the people in the city are strange to the people of Lin'an.
The people of Lin'an supported the emperor to go to war because they wanted to fight the Jin soldiers of Lin'an, not the Jin soldiers of the East China Sea.
The East China Sea, away from Lin'an City, is too far away from the people of Lin'an!
As far away as Lin'an, the people could not see the pain on their faces clearly, let alone feel the despair in their hearts!
Mo Xiaoyu and his master Li Xiu stood on the side of the street and handed out leaflets to the people of Lin'an in the past, on which Zhang Tao asked someone to write according to Li Xiu's oral account about the two generations of the Li family and his son who did their best for the Song Dynasty court and the people, as well as the miserable life of the people of the East China Sea in the Jinzhan area!
These days, Mo Xiaoyu and his master have been catching people to tell about the plight of the people of the East China Sea, asking the people of Lin'an to help them plead with the emperor and the deacons, and send troops to rescue the East China Sea.
Almost all the people of Lin'an know this pair of masters and apprentices, and the people take a detour when they see them far away, to put it bluntly, no one wants to take the responsibility of life and death for irrelevant people and suffer the condemnation of conscience!
Fourteen-year-old Mo Xiaoyu was sad and painful in his heart, he knew for the first time what powerlessness and despair were!
He asked Li Xiu: "Master, we are frugal in Donghai County, tighten our belts to live, and every penny is used to help the rebels who resist Jin, Zhang Wang and Xu Yuan master led the shipwrights to do their hands and feet in shipbuilding, also to help the Great Song Dynasty, but why are no of them willing to help us?" See that we have to take a detour? ”
Li Xiu is more than ten years older than his apprentice, and when he was a child, he followed his father to the north and south, and he was used to the complexity of people's hearts, and said numbly: "That's because it's because it's us who want to go back to the Great Song Dynasty, not them!" ”
Mo Xiaoyu didn't quite understand what the master said, in his past life experience, except for the naturally hostile identities of the Jin and Song people, shouldn't people help each other?
Mo Xiaoyu didn't ask again, he knew that he and his master were like two leaves falling from the branches in this prosperous Lin'an City, they could only drift in the streets and alleys with the wind, and they didn't know which day and moment they would disappear.
Gao Poyu had secretly come to see Mo Xiaoyu's master and apprentice several times, and he was already familiar with their experiences.
To tell the truth, he sympathized with this young man of the same age very much, he always thought that the little Hanako in Lin'an City was already the worst person in the world, but there was still a nursing home in Lin'an City, and he really couldn't get by, at least the nursing home gave him a bite to eat and a roof to protect him from the wind and rain. Even if they are called Hanako in Lin'an City, no one dares to kill them for no reason!
Gao Poyu told his father about the experience of Mo Xiaoyu's master and apprentice, and he thought that his father would definitely take the case, complain about Mo Xiaoyu and them, and even take Mo Xiaoyu's master and apprentice to the Gao family's grange and settle down.
However, his father, who had always been anxious and righteous, not only did he not have any intention of helping, but also ordered him not to talk about the matter anymore, nor to pay attention to the master and apprentice.
"You just have to study hard, don't ask too much about other things, and don't meddle in things! If you dare to listen to them talk nonsense again, I'm going to ask for family law, be careful of your ass blooming! ”
Gao Poyu had never seen his father so anxious, he knew that his father was not joking, although his father favored him, he was not unprincipled, if he dared to openly disobey his father's orders, the two-finger-wide family law bamboo board would definitely let him see the majesty of the head of the family!
Gao Poyu raised his sleeves to half-cover his face, and forced a large handful of copper coins and broken silver in his hand into Mo Xiaoyu's hand: "Take this money and buy a few buns for the little orchids and little loaches in the East China Sea." If they die, buy them a coffin board! In the next life, you will either be born in Lin'an to be a Song person, or you will be a gold person completely, don't be caught in the middle like this and get angry! ”
