Chapter 1: Sacrifice?

The summer sun shines through the leaves and hits the ground, forming a little bit of fine light spots, and there is a sultry smell brewing in the air.

"It's only May, why is it so hot?" Lin Fengjin muttered.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside, followed by a gentle knock on the door, and then whispered:

"Young master, the mansion newspaper you asked for has arrived, by the way, do you want to put ice cubes??"

After hearing this, Lin Fengjin perked up and said:

"Yes, of course, send it in quickly. By the way, is the newspaper up-to-date?"

"It's up to date. The subordinate said respectfully: "It was brought back from the palace when Master Zuo was on duty." ”

Soon, a large basin of ice cubes was placed next to the bamboo chair, feeling the cool breath rushing to his face, Lin Feng sighed comfortably, and then picked up the newspaper and flipped through it.

It has been seven or eight days since he returned to Yedu, mainly because of the placement of those slaves and prisoners of war, otherwise, Lin Fengjin would have been able to return to Yedu a long time ago to be idle, and now he has finally made a series of things in Sanli Department regular, so that he can return to Yedu to enjoy Qingfu, but he was arrested by the master and studied his homework for a few days.

Today, Lin Fengjin finally has such a free time, it is really a floating life to steal half a day of leisure, but when it comes to Lin Fengjin's position, if he wants to be really idle, he can't be idle, and he must strive to enrich himself in any bit of time, and he is flipping through the latest newspapers.

These Di newspapers flowed out from Master Zuo, that is, the kind of latest things that were presented to Lu Yu, and their integrity, timeliness, and reliability were not comparable to ordinary abridged Di newspapers.

At this time, these newspapers contained information about their own country. There is also information about other countries, but most of the things described above are still very related to the invasion of the countries of the East China Sea, and nine times out of ten they will involve these contents.

I also have to say that the current way of information and intelligence exchange is still too backward, even if the things in these newspapers are to be presented to Lu Yu, the king of a country, there are many things that are untrue, full of conjecture and speculation. Maybe the rest of the people can't see the flaws, but for Lin Fengjin, who has been fighting for life and death with the East China Sea Alliance for several months, it is clear at a glance.

For example, in this newspaper. To describe the offensive of the East China Sea Coalition Army as very fierce, like lightning and thunder, and to say that they "are fleeting and uncertain, and fly thousands of miles after a single blow" is in fact a complete exaggeration of the facts, but the tactics of the East China Sea Coalition Army are completely unfamiliar to the Central Plains.

What was exclaimed in this newspaper was that the East China Sea Coalition Army had captured two cities thousands of miles apart in two or three days, and that this was the regular combat strength of the East China Sea Coalition Army. The East China Sea coalition attacked Xiangzhou, and found that the state city was well defended, so they plundered the surrounding area and set sail on the ship. Under the influence of the monsoon, it took two days to reach Haozhou, which is thousands of miles away.

The person who wrote this newspaper regarded this special situation as a common phenomenon, and felt that all the East China Sea Coalition forces could do this kind of thing anytime and anywhere, isn't it misleading?

In addition, the East China Sea Coalition is accustomed to using the elite of the Red Banner or the Samurai to charge directly. Don't even use a ladder to directly attack the city gate with such an elite, and then the rest of the crowd will flock up. This kind of tactics can be said to be successful many times when the state and county are defenseless, so it also gives many people the illusion that all the soldiers of the East China Sea Alliance Army are as powerful as the Red Banner or the samurai

Looking at these Di Newspapers, Lin Feng couldn't help but feel angry and funny, and he couldn't wait to arrest the people who wrote these Di Newspapers on the spot, see how their brains grow, and actually present this kind of nonsensical speculation to the monarch.

However, gradually, the smile on the corner of Lin Fengjin's mouth also converged, there is a sentence called from the small to the big, and the small to know, although there are many things on these newspapers that are equivalent to nonsense, but there may not be some desirable things in them.

For example, although these officials at the bottom have misjudged the strength of the countries in the East China Sea, they should have counted the information on their own jurisdictions, right? After reading more than a dozen reports submitted by the prefectures and counties, Lin Fengjin found a very significant problem, that is, he invariably mentioned the plundering of the people under his rule by the East China Sea Coalition Army and others.

To put it bluntly, those who do these things are "thieves of the country", such as Cao Cao, such as Nurhachi, etc., all have their own territories, and they want to rob the population to cultivate for themselves and play a long-term effect.

However, Lin Fengjin knew that the problem of the countries in the East China Sea was not a lack of people, but that there were too many people under their rule, too little land, and the poor property could not support too many people, so he transferred the internal contradictions into external contradictions before brazenly launching a war.

In addition, the mainland of the countries of the East China Sea is several thousand miles on the other side of the ocean, and they currently occupy islands and the like, and the arable area is not large, so what should we do to plunder the population? To tell the truth, arresting people and paying attention to eating, drinking, and arranging their food, clothing, housing, and transportation is the most troublesome thing, and if we have this strength, it is better to grab more grain and keep one more population down, which is also an additional burden for the government at that time.

For a homeless person who has completely lost his land and residence, if the government gives him relief, he will almost have to invest completely in the first two years, and then he can start to get back a little interest from his meager endowment, and it will take six or seven years to return to the capital, which is recognized, so if you want to spend more national strength of the enemy country in the short term, it is definitely not to rob the population, but to directly burn his house, kill his cattle, and then snatch the last grain!

Therefore, in Lin Fengjin's eyes, the behavior of the countries of the East China Sea to plunder the young and strong labor force is very suspicious:

"Could it be that these bastards are going to perform some large-scale evil arts? Do they want to sacrifice tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of young people?"

Such a thought suddenly appeared in Lin Fengjin's heart.

The captives of the East China Sea countries don't know how many were killed by Lin Fengjin, and even the priests and divine envoys were killed by him one after another, so naturally they were very clear about the behavior of brazenly slaughtering hundreds of thousands of people to sacrifice to the gods of the East China Sea before they set out on the expedition. Blessed them with the ability to be invincible in ocean voyages.

"Could this sacrifice be for my previous behavior?" Lin Fengjin couldn't help but think like this.

It's no wonder that Delin Fengjin thinks so, because his previous behavior has already sounded the alarm for the East China Sea Alliance, that is, to tell them that the Suga envoy is not invincible, then their behavior must be a natural desire to strengthen the Suga envoy.

However, if you think about it carefully, Lin Fengjin's assumption is also a bit too subjective.

Why do you say that? Because if you think about it this way, Lin Fengjin just looks at the problem from the perspective of the No. C theater, which is inevitably too one-sided, and in fact from the perspective of the entire East China Sea countries. I believe that they have discovered a very critical thing at this time, that is, the Central Plains countries actually do not attach much importance to the naval army.

That is to say, even if the envoys of the Soviet Union can be restrained, the Central Plains countries will not be able to come up with corresponding ships and fleets to confront them! Under such a general premise, what is the use of Wu Zuocheng's gains and losses in one city and one place?

These newspapers were quickly read by Lin Fengjin, and he still couldn't guess what the other party wanted to do to rob the young and strong population, it was really because there was too little information.

When Lin Fengjin was pondering, the little guy outside knocked on the door gently. There should be something to tell, Lin Fengjin coughed and said:

"Come in. ”

The little man walked in and bowed and said:

"Tell Childe, there are a few carriages and horses outside, saying that Childe, your subordinates have arrived. ”

After hearing this. Lin Fengjin's eyes lit up and said:

"Oh, got it, I'm going out, yes. I immediately went to ask Lao He, and said that I asked him to vacate the guest room a few days ago, and it was prepared according to the first-class VIP room. ”

Soon. That old He hurriedly came to bow down when he heard the news and said:

"Back to the son's words, the villain according to the instructions, a total of eight villas have been prepared for the distinguished guests, all of which have been properly cleaned and clean, and the rough maids are also complete, but the female stewards who are used to entertain the distinguished guests are very demanding, so there are still two villas vacant. ”

Lin Fengjin said very simply:

"Take the silver and go to the Chunfeng Building in Yedu to redeem people, and ask for the two most popular. ”

Lao He's heart moved, knowing that his son-in-law should be a person who values him very much, so he immediately bowed down and said:

"Yes, the villain will do it. ”

After Lin Fengjin explained here, he quickly went out and went to the front, and saw a few familiar figures in the Songhe Hall where the guests were visited, it was Zhu Li, Chi Bi Li, Wolf Tu and others, at this time Lin Fengjin stayed behind the Kirbineng brothers to preside over the overall situation in Wu Zuocheng, and the rest of the henchmen were all going down with the ship, because Lin Fengjin temporarily decided to send the captives back to Wu Zuocheng by land, so they were delayed for a lot of time to arrive.

This time, Lin Feng brought them a group of henchmen here, naturally to let them relax at the end of the war and enjoy the world of flowers in the Central Plains.

At this time, these subordinates who came here are their own people, and they don't need to be polite, Lin Feng sent 10,000 taels of silver tickets to everyone, and then said a few words, that is, let it go, naturally someone will take them to enjoy the prosperity of Yedu.

However, there is one person, Lin Fengjin, who needs special treatment.

This person's identity is also very special, although he thinks he is Lin Fengjin's slave, but Lin Fengjin really doesn't see him as a slave, and this person's heart seems to be as solid as a rock, there was originally a gap on it, but not long ago because of an accident, even this gap was completely closed.

Everything in the world seemed to him to be a spring flowing from the rocks, and it could only be described as an untainted foreign object.

My heart

Hard as iron,

My knife,

This is my way!

He is the Grandmaster of the Sword Dao: Hiroshi Tagi!!

Even in the long history of the Central Plains, there are only a handful of people who can be promoted to the rank of Sword Dao Grandmaster by themselves.

More importantly, because there have been sword and shield soldiers in the army for a long time, the army is also very particular about practicing and promoting knife skills, and teaching them can be said to be the most effective and simple tricks that can kill.

In this way, it has a great impact on the development and promotion of the entire knife technique, and the excessive emphasis on the efficiency of killing people ignores the cultivation of the mind and cultivation of the person who makes the knife, so the person who uses the knife can often be said to be a little "astray at the beginning", and the person who leads the knife into the Tao is very rare and rare.

After Lin Fengjin settled down with a group of subordinates, he smiled at Duomu Hao and said:

"I've been waiting for a long time, I've been on a tiring journey, do you want to take a break?"

Tamu Hao shook his head slightly and said:

"No need, as long as I don't kill people, then I can stay at my peak at any time, but, master, it doesn't seem appropriate to meet a master like Mr. Jiuyuan, it doesn't seem appropriate to go hastily, please arrange for me to bathe and change clothes." ”

Lin Fengjin nodded slightly and said:

"Okay, I'll make arrangements, and I hope you can stand in front of my master in the best condition - to be honest, one of you enters the Tao with a sword, and the other enters the Tao with a sword, and when you meet each other, it is really impossible to imagine what will happen, and it is really exciting to think about it. ”

Tagi Hirodo:

"Master, I am also looking forward to this moment all the time, I feel that the fire of my life can continue to burn, it is for that moment of sublimation, in front of me, it seems that there is no road, I have a hunch, after meeting Lu Shi, I will not be confused anymore. ”

Lin Feng nodded and beckoned someone to bathe and change clothes for Duo Mu Hao.

At this time, Hiroshi Tagi was thirty-five years old, and it was the peak of a man's body and experience that he was slowly soaking in the hot water of the bath, and he still held his knife in his hand, as if he was clinging to his life.

The water is very hot, and it is very comfortable to soak the heat into your body little by little. (To be continued......)
