Chapter 437: Serving the Country
"Fighting in August, the military and civilians ...... Martyrdom. ”
Liu Bei was shocked.
There are not many words of martyrdom known from the light curtain, such as in the later history, Zhang Wei went on a northern expedition from Jiang Wei, led the Wudang Fei Army to fight Wei to the death, and was killed and martyred.
It is also recorded in the history of later generations more than this, Fu Wei Ma Liang who died in Yiling, Kong Ming and the descendants of Yide who died under Mianzhu Pass, these are all remembered by Liu Bei.
Even he remembered what later generations said about the death of 100,000 soldiers and civilians in the Southern Song Dynasty.
But those moments are difficult to compare with the heavy eight words that I heard at this time.
There are thieves and fangs around them, and angels inside announce the cutting of the land.
The soldiers and civilians of the city decided to resist the order, and the city was destroyed and the country was killed.
The juniors said that it was not very detailed, but it was enough for Liu Bei and others to get a glimpse of the context of the martial arts of the Northern Song Dynasty.
The Son of Heaven is faint, and the ministers are overwhelmed.
Those who want to save the country by fighting bloody battles will find it difficult to fulfill their will, and those who want to betray the country and steal life will be complicit.
And now it seems, how innocent are the people?
Bearing the pain of land separation, suffering from harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, having no peace all day long, and having no income, in the end, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty pushed it into the mouth of the jackal with a simple stroke of the pen.
Liu Bei only felt how ironic, no wonder there was an endless stream of Song uprisings, if he Liu Bei was born at that time, he would have to find like-minded people to climb high!
On the other side, Zhang Fei was already extremely impatient to get up and scolded angrily:
"This Qin Zong is really an eggless thing!"
"He is mediocre and happy, but he makes his wife and daughter miserable and sinful."
"I can't wait to take someone to Taiyuan and stab him!"
The more Zhang Fei spoke, the more angry he became, and finally he couldn't help but smash the short few in front of him with a straight punch, and then arched his hand at Liu Bei and went straight out of the hall door, but the scolding words left behind still fell in this hall for everyone to hear clearly:
"This kind of pig and dog generation really dirties my old Zhang's eyes and ears."
The atmosphere in the hall was still slightly solemn, but after Zhang Fei's stirring, it was relieved a lot, and Kong Ming sighed:
"Yide is straightforward and can't hide words in his heart, don't mind the lord."
Before Liu Bei could say anything, Pang Tong had already said:
"The words of the three generals are still from the bottom of my heart, and I also feel it."
The others also nodded together, feeling that Zhang Fei had scolded what he was thinking, and he could be regarded as a faint sigh of relief.
It is precisely because they are in the troubled times that they are even more empathetic to watching the Northern Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers walk and strategize.
Especially seeing that this Li Gang and others wanted to shoulder the country with iron shoulders, but in the end they died and died, and this mood became worse.
"The prosperous times have their own good, how similar are the troubled times?"
Lu Su shook his head, waved his pen and learned from Kong Ming to write down what he thought in the notebook in front of him, and at the same time suddenly felt that his previous insistence on reputation was also extremely ridiculous.
"Taishi Gong said that people die more than the mountains or light feathers, and they tend to be different when they are used."
Lu Su calmed down with a bitter smile, and solemnly arched his hand at Liu Bei and said:
"I wish to be dispatched by Xuande Gong, but I wish to ......"
After hesitating, Lu Su took a deep breath and said:
"I only hope that the Chinese Han'er will be in the wind of Datong and not know the chaos, and I only wish to ...... No military and civilian martyrs were killed. ”
Liu Bei was solemn, and he also bowed to Lu Su:
"I will live up to what Zi respects to entrust."
"What I say today is a clear example of the unity of our aspirations, and we will live up to it in the world!"
Everyone in the hall was either solemn or laughing or impatient or expected, and they bowed their hands together: "I will not live up!" ”
None of them are ministers and generals, nor are they first-class celebrities, and for Liu Bei and others at this time, what they ask for is actually quite simple:
In the first half of his life, he saw that the people were in turmoil, and in recent years, he has seen a bad fate in China.
In fact, the world of Datong that everyone wants in their hearts today is not exactly the same, but the idea of wanting to avoid tragedy is completely similar.
……
"Shame on you."
Li Shimin on the couch has lost his previous excitement.
The Ganlu Hall was also quiet, and the only thing that echoed in the hall was Li Shimin's long sigh for the four characters.
As for the original text of the Song Dynasty classics that appeared in the light curtain, everyone could see it clearly, so they were even more silent.
In a few moments, a sentence or a sentence that seemed like an edict or like an idea sounded in the Manna Temple:
"Tuyuhun is eliminated, then Guanzhong is safe, the Turks are far away from the Western Regions, Tubo is still ignorant, and the 36 countries of the Western Regions have always been separated from Germany, which is not enough to cause trouble, so Hebei should be the first in the world..."
"For a hundred years, it is necessary to take advantage of the climate to cultivate the fields of Hebei, set up officials and schools to take charge of education, and put the town to eliminate bandits, and those who do not obey should be moved to the customs..."
"I need no kings in the south and no miscellaneous in the north, and I don't want the Turks to be Han for a while, so that the Turks can live in the diaspora and change customs..."
The order was very detailed, but Zhenguan listened attentively.
[Before the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty, Yue Fei, who was the unknown squad leader of the Pingding Army, participated in only the second Battle of Taiyuan, that is, the fiasco in which Li Gang was remotely controlled by Qinzong.
According to historical records, Yue Fei's performance in this battle is still remarkable, he took the initiative to take over the task of going deep behind enemy lines to find out the news, and completed it quite well, and even left a heroic posture of a fierce general for the first time in the history in the process.
More than 100 sentry horses led by Yue Fei collided with more than 1,000 golden soldiers near Yuci, and when the brave won on the narrow road, Yue Fei cosed an idol Guan Yu's operation:
"Riding alone to break through the formation, enter and exit the number of four, and kill several of its riders"
The task was well accomplished, but there was only so much to do as a scout captain, and other than that, whether it was Qin Zong's brain or Li Gang's military ability, it was not something that Yue Fei could interfere with.
After the defeat of the Second Taiyuan Campaign, as we said earlier, the Jin army began to move south, and Yue Fei's Pingding Army, which had only 3,000 people, had a strong will to fight, but it was difficult to support it alone in the case of the rapid fall of Zhending Mansion.
After 3,000 people resisted the onslaught of tens of thousands of Jin troops for half a month, they finally had no choice but to fall, and Yue Fei and a few robes could only break through and return to their hometown in the chaos.
The story of the mother-in-law's tattoo is now familiar, and the four characters of loyalty to the country on Yue Fei's back who were tattooed by his mother-in-law are also clearly stated in the story.
However, this story is not found in the annals, and when Yue Fei was tried as a prisoner in the official history, the four characters on his back were "Serve the country with loyalty".
Although the mother-in-law's tattoo may be a false story, there is no doubt that the mother-in-law is a great mother.
At that time, Yue Fei's hometown had fallen, and when the Jin soldiers were surrounded by precarious circumstances, the mother-in-law first scolded Yue Fei for the idea of taking his family into the mountains to seek peace, and then cut off her son's love for children:
"Fly to repay the country from Rong"
The Northern Song Dynasty briefly shattered the shackles of "controlling military force with literature" that had lasted for a hundred years since the beginning of the Song Dynasty.
The mother-in-law cut off her son's last hesitation with righteousness and determination.
Yue Fei, who was on the road alone at the age of twenty-three, began his third military defection.
The legend of the famous anti-gold generals also kicked off. 】
