Xin Ji has been walking on the rivers and lakes all year round, so he has long been familiar with the ability to talk to people and talk nonsense. If you talk about a scene like this, just listen to it, whoever believes it is a fool.

"This time, my brother and sister were ordered by the master to travel down the mountain, passing through here, and I came to visit the old man Qin, I wonder if it is convenient for the old man to let the two of me meet him?" After a few more greetings, Xin Ji began to get to the point.

"Hahaha, what I said, my father has been waiting for my brother in the village for a long time, please !!"

In the evening, Old Man Qin, who was helped back to his room from the dinner, took a wet towel from Qin Ying's hand, wiped his face fiercely, and said to Qin Ying with a full face: "Third child, what do you think of the things that Xin Ji pulled at the banquet today?"

"Hehe!! Qin Ying didn't answer, but sneered twice.

Old Man Qin, after throwing the wet towel to Qin Ying, patted him on the shoulder and said approvingly: "That's right!!"

And Xin Ji, who was drunk, also instantly became energetic after being helped into his room by Wang Li.

"Senior brother, you know that Old Man Qin will not stand in line in the upcoming big battle at all, why do you still fight with him all night?" Wang Li asked puzzled after serving Xin Ji a cup of freshly poured tea.

Xin Ji took the cup, took a few sips, and then stared at the flickering candle on the table and said: "Of course I know that he won't stand in line, the reason why I repeatedly mentioned this matter at the banquet is just to retreat and get in touch with the rivers and lakes of Shandong." ”

Hearing that Xin Ji mentioned the martial arts of Shandong, Wang Li was suddenly stunned. Then he held his head and thought about it for a while, before he reacted, he didn't have any impression of Shandong martial arts in his mind!!

Although Wang Li is not very old, he has followed Lin Bufan or Xin Ji to the north and south in the past few years, and he can be regarded as well-informed, but this ............

Looking at Wang Li's confused look, Xin Ji chuckled and said, "Are you wondering, why is the land of Qilu with outstanding people making no achievements in the rivers and lakes, and even disappearing?"

"It shouldn't be!!"

"Do you know that the Yellow River flowed eastward during the Northern Song Dynasty?"

The term Northern Song Dynasty still came out of Lin Bufan's mouth, and was later quoted by them to distinguish the Great Song Dynasty before and after the "Shame of Jingkang".

"I have heard this matter from the master before, it is said that since the eighth year of Qingli, the Yellow River has been diverted to the north, and the estuary has extended to the territory of Liao. The monarchs and ministers of the Northern Song Dynasty were afraid that the Liao naval division would directly attack the Beijing division along the Yellow River, so they planned to dig the embankment on the south bank of the Yellow River and forcibly change the direction of the Yellow River with manpower. ”

"It is not so simple for the whole country to forcibly go against the sky, and to shake the heavens and the earth with manpower. This seems to be a big problem, but when it comes to implementation, it becomes a big problem. Countless lands on the south bank of the Yellow River were swallowed up by the Yellow River, hundreds of people were displaced, and the entire south bank of the Yellow River became a ghost. ”

"Didn't you say that the Yellow River had successfully flowed eastward?"

"If you follow the original intention of the prime minister of the DPRK and China, this thing can be regarded as a success. But in the following decades, due to the imperial court's ineffective governance of the river, the Yellow River began to break frantically, and its flow suddenly went to the east, suddenly to the north, devouring the people on both sides of the Yellow River. ”

"So what does this have to do with us people in the rivers and lakes?"

"People in the rivers and lakes also have to eat, and the poor and rich are not casually talked. Some wealthy people from extremely privileged families recruited a large number of people from the rivers and lakes to protect their homes and set up manors like the Qin family's Zhuangzi; as for those who had nothing but martial arts left, they could only fall into the grass or join the army. ”

"This ............"

"As the Yellow River keeps bursting, it keeps changing its course, forming a large amount of water. The lives of the common people are getting more and more difficult, and the officials are becoming more and more corrupt. The thirty-six thieves of Jingdong took advantage of the situation, occupied 800 miles of Shuibo Liangshan, and called themselves 'for the way of heaven', which instantly swept the land of Qilu, and the heroes of Shandong Wulin never lacked blood. Later, after the encirclement and suppression of the imperial court, the southward movement of the Jin people, the northern expedition of Prince Yue, and the encirclement and suppression of the Jin people, the entire Shandong martial arts was almost killed.

Now, in addition to heroes like Old Man Qin, who have the ability to protect one side, there are only those green forest heroes hidden in the mountains and rivers of Shuize. The reason why we rarely hear of them is because they are in their own right, never in contact with the outside world, and extremely repulsive to outsiders. ”

"It's all in the green forest, it's good to be a good man............" The experience in the early years made Wang Li hate these bandits and bandits!

"There is a big gap between the green forest heroes in Shandong and the bandits in Guanzhong who kill people without blinking. Most of them pursued the purpose of 'doing the right thing for heaven' in the past, and almost never plundered ordinary people for no reason. Most of their targets were rich landlords or evil officials, so they were deeply loved by the common people. If the officers and soldiers encircled and suppressed, those ordinary people would even report to them. ”

"So Senior Brother's intention is to contact these green forest heroes and the Northern Expedition army to cooperate with the outside world............"

"Wrong!!They can't cooperate with the Northern Expedition Army!!Senior Brother has no ability to let them cooperate with the Northern Expedition Army!!"

"Why is this!!" Wang Li looked at Xin Ji with a stunned expression.

"When Prince Yue went on the Northern Expedition, their entire Shandong martial arts abandoned their lives and deaths to help. If it was said that Prince Yue was defeated by the Jin Kingdom and was defeated and returned, they would admit it. But the prince of Yue back then was pulled back by the imperial court in the rear, what do you make these enthusiastic Shandong martial arts heroes think? They are not afraid of death! But what the Southern Song Dynasty court did back then not only made them bleed! ! It also made them cry!!

Wang Li couldn't help but shudder when he heard this, and he shuddered when he thought of the desperate situation faced by the martial arts heroes in Shandong after they were betrayed by the imperial court in the past.

"Senior brother doesn't have the ability to speak the lotus, how can he say that he can move them to assist the Northern Expeditionary Army? I just want to contact them, so that I can act as a bridge between them and the Northern Expeditionary Army, so that they will not pull the Northern Expeditionary Army behind because of the hatred of the past. ”

Speaking of which, both of them were heavy.

Can the Southern Song Dynasty really win this Northern Expedition that does not occupy "time, place, and people"?
