Chapter 180: For the country and the people
"So...... Toyotomi Hideyoshi began to attack North Korea......"
Yue Buqun's fingers rubbed, and the two letterheads between his fingers turned into ashes silently, and there was not a trace of green smoke.
Seeing this, Yu couldn't help shrinking the corner of his eye, and analyzed: "Consider the time delay of the news...... At present, Toyotomi Hideyoshi's forward army may have crossed the Imjin River and approached the capital of Joseon!"
Yue Buqun bowed, "Although Toying is small, Toyotomi Hideyoshi can unite the country, so it is not to be underestimated."
With hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers in a hundred battles, it is normal to have the ambition of annexing Korea and advancing Shenzhou!
Moreover, the small country of North Korea has been peaceful for a long time, the politics are * rotten * defeated, the armament is lax, and the military affairs have not been known for 200 years, and anyone seems to be a soft persimmon......
But worrying, once the Ming Dynasty sends troops to aid the DPRK in a big way, Toyotomi Hideyoshi's chances of victory are too low!"
Yu Ming also knows that only the Ming official army and the Dongying army will be in the most beneficial to the Quanzhen Sect if they have been in Korea for a long time.
As long as the imperial court goes to war, whether it is internally or externally, it is a paradise for gangs in the rivers and lakes.
Especially for the black-and-white Quanzhen Sect, it can not only make a lot of war money, but also allow the disciples who are lurking in the border army to make meritorious achievements and be promoted to power......
Even in the long run, the war of the imperial court will inevitably consume a huge amount of wealth, which will make the national strength decline, and once the tax is raised, it will greatly promote the rise of corruption and corruption, forcing the small people to go bankrupt and lose the hearts of the people......
In addition, Emperor Wanli has not been in court for many years, and he has been passive and neglectful, but he has sent many eunuchs to loot the people's wealth......
All these will greatly weaken the control of the central court over the localities, but it will not be able to balance the development and growth of various forces in the rivers and lakes.
This is of great significance to the Quanzhen Sect, which has reached the peak of its power in the rivers and lakes, and it is a necessary stage for the cocoon to become a butterfly......
After thinking about it, Yu Ming suggested in a low voice: "Otherwise, let Jia Yi be the commander of the Ming army at that time...... Hmph!" he said, gesturing with a motion to wipe his neck.
"Don't rush ...... first," Yue Buqun groaned. "The Ningxia Bibai rebels seem to be defeated...... It's hard!"
Yu Mingying replied: "I have ordered all the Mongolian horse bandits under me to gather them on the border of Ningxia, and there are five or six thousand elite cavalry......
With just an order, they can immediately break out of a gap in the Ming army's encirclement, lead the rebels to flee to Mongolia, and drag on the war indefinitely!"
The Bibai rebels have been raging throughout Ningxia for most of the year. Looted countless money and goods, most of which were used to buy weapons from the secret channels of the Quanzhen Sect......
Even a large part of the privateers of the official army also flowed into the chamber of commerce under the Quanzhen Sect......
Although it is said that the Quanzhen Sect's initial investment in the Bibai rebels has long been paid off, and it has made a lot of money, if the war in Ningxia continues, the Quanzhen Sect's gains will definitely be greater......
Yue Buqun glanced at Yu Ming inexplicably, and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Yu really understands my intentions......"
Yu Ming's face was panicked, and he retreated and bowed and said, "My subordinates don't dare to overstep." Everything is based on the hegemony of the sect master!"
Yue Buqun hesitated, sighed and said, "Let's wait first......
Yu Ming was stunned for a moment, the soldiers were very fast, and the rebels were about to be defeated, and it would be too late to be playful, so he couldn't help but persuade: "The sect leader thinks twice......"
Yue Buqun was about to speak, but when he saw Ning Zhongze enter the courtyard, he looked at Ning Zhongze and smiled. He also said to the unknown: "This matter will be discussed in the evening...... You go first!"
Ning Zhong looked at Yu Ming's back as he left in a hurry, and asked suspiciously, "What are you discussing with Senior Brother Yu?"
Yue Buqun sighed: "A big difficult matter...... As soon as you open the bow, there is no turning back!"
Ning Zhong has always been shallow about all kinds of mundane affairs. Moreover, she has an upright temperament and a charitable heart, and Yue Buqun and Yu Ming don't dare to let her know all the dirty things they have done.
In her impression, Quanzhen teaches martial arts to be the right path, punishing evil and promoting good, and punishing the common people. It is also a compassionate Xuanmen Yushi, every festival, will give medicine to the poor people, save the suffering, and spread the good name.
Therefore, I heard Yue Buqun's words. Ning Zhong didn't understand it, but encouraged him according to common sense: "When did Senior Brother become timid and afraid of things, afraid of difficulties?
Sister Su Ni admires Guo Jing's heroes in the Southern Song Dynasty very much, and often says, 'The great man of chivalry is for the country and the people'......
As long as it is beneficial to the righteous path of martial arts and the people of Limin, Senior Brother has no hesitation, so why hesitate?"
The embarrassment on Yue Buqun's face flashed, and he held Ning Zhongze's jade hand affectionately, and said with a smile: "What Senior Sister said is very ......" said secretly in his heart: What Guo Daxia...... That's Guo Dasha!
The sect leader is hesitating whether to bring disaster to the country and the people, and endanger the lives of thousands of border troops, Mongolia, North Korea, and Dongying, so I'm really a little embarrassed to say this......
"Let's go...... The children are all waiting for you to have lunch together!" Ning Zhong pulled out his hands and turned to leave first, followed by Yue Buqun.
When they arrived at the backyard hall, Mei Niang, Su Ni and other wives and concubines sat at a table with their young children, and the older children sat at three tables by themselves.
Every time he saw his children gathered together, it was enough to make up six or seven Zhuo mahjong, and Yue Buqun felt a sense of accomplishment.
Although compared to Liu Bei's ancestor in the Han Dynasty, King Jing of Zhongshan gave birth to more than 100 sons in one go, Yue Buqun was ashamed of himself.
But compared with many bigwigs on the rivers and lakes today, Yue Buqun's achievements can really make them look up to them for life.
Yue Buqun sat at the head of the table of his wives and concubines, and beckoned Lin Pingzhi to sit beside him.
Originally, Confucian etiquette stipulates that food is silent and sleep is silent, but when there are many children, they will inevitably mumble when eating, and Yue Buqun has long forgotten this vulgar etiquette.
"Ping'er...... Yesterday, you went to deliver food, did Chong'er's swordsmanship improve greatly?"
Lin Pingzhi swallowed a mouthful of food before replying, "Yes......
Five days ago, I also had more than 600 moves with Senior Brother Linghu!
But yesterday, in addition to the swordsmanship passed on by you and Uncle Feng, Senior Brother Linghu seems to have used another extremely exquisite swordsmanship......
I gave it my all, and I didn't survive two hundred moves!"
Yue Buqun was not surprised, "That swordsmanship is called Dugu Nine Swords, pay attention to the last strike, come first, hit the enemy's flaws, and take advantage of the void to enter......
You were originally slightly inferior to Chong'er in terms of swordsmanship, but you took advantage of the subtle swordsmanship of 'Sword Interception'.
But now Chong'er has also learned peerless swordsmanship such as Dugu Nine Swords. It's hard to get closer......"
Lin Pingzhi paused for a moment in his hand, hesitated for a while, and then asked, "Which is better, 'Sword Interception' and Dugu Nine Swords?"
Yue Buqun smiled proudly, "Dugu Nine Swords are only about the same as the upper and middle volumes of the 'Sword Interception Technique', and they are all top-notch swordsmanship......
As for the second volume of 'Sword Interception', it has moved away from the category of pure swordsmanship. Far from being comparable to Dugu Nine Swords!
And the first two volumes of Dugu Nine Swords and 'Sword Interception', relatively speaking, the threshold of 'Sword Interception' is lower, and the requirements for understanding and qualification are not as harsh as those of Dugu Nine Swords......
In the early stage, the 'Sword Interception Technique' focused on step-by-step cultivation, so its power was slightly inferior to that of the Dugu Nine Swords, which focused on epiphany and ascended to the sky in one step......
In the later stage, the power of the 'Sword Interception Technique' is similar to that of Dugu Nine Swords, but the effect of dealing with real masters is more obvious than that of Dugu Nine Swords!
It's just that it is difficult for a real master to be broken by Dugu Jiujian with one move, and he will be killed with one blow.
Rather than this, it is better to 'intercept the sword' against the enemy. It's like pulling a cocoon, accumulating small profits for big wins!"
Lin Pingzhi seemed to understand whether he understood or not, but he was also anxious about his own swordsmanship, "Then how can I quickly cultivate the three chapters of the 'Sword Interception Technique'?"
Yue Buqun inadvertently glanced at Mrs. Lin opposite, and smiled: "Use rice first, use rice first......
Lin Pingzhi looked at his eyes and knew that it was not good to say this matter in front of his mother.
Yue Buqun picked up the dishes and chopsticks and began to eat. But in his heart, he was thinking about the two things that Yu Ming had discussed with him before.
In fact, it was a plan he had laid out many years ago. But it really came to this...... To be honest, Yue Buqun was still a little hesitant.
If what the Quanzhen Sect did before was just a gentle push behind the imminent outbreak of war, accelerating the outbreak of war, it would be regarded as a sideshow.
Now once Yue Buqun makes a decision, he will expand the strength of the war desperately. Extendable ......
And because of this, the scorched land is still secondary, so the number of people who die in the war will increase exponentially.
This is not a battle in the rivers and lakes where dozens or hundreds of people died, but a big war with tens of thousands of casualties or hundreds of thousands of people......
At that time, there will be wars in the northwest and northeast frontiers outside the Ming court, and if you add the Jiangxi White Lotus Sect and the southwest Tusi Yang Yinglong and others, they will take the opportunity to start an army. Then ......
But it's also a good opportunity for the Quanzhen Sect!
Yue Buqun suddenly asked, "Ping'er...... Do you think I'm a good person or a bad person?"
Lin Ping was stunned, "The leader of the sect is martial arts and righteousness, of course he is a very good person!"
Yue Buqun raised his eyebrows and smiled with satisfaction, but he heard Mei Niang snort coldly, and said with unceremonious disdain: "If you are a good person, there will be no bad people in this world......"
Yue Buqun laughed and said, "If I am a good person, then everything I do is a good thing......
If I am a bad person, then I should be even more justified in doing bad things...... Why hesitate?"
As soon as he thought of this, Yue Buqun's heart seemed to be missing some kind of baggage, and it was more clear and natural.
For some reason, when Ning Zhong heard this, he always felt that something was wrong, but he was also confused and didn't say anything.
Lin Pingzhi also felt inexplicable, didn't the sect leader always think that he was a good person in his heart?
Shaking his head, Lin Pingzhi was about to continue eating, when Yue Buqun's voice suddenly sounded in his ears, "Ping'er...... Don't you want to quickly develop the 'Sword Interception Technique'?"
He looked at Yue Buqun, but saw that Yue Buqun was using his job to cover up the secret transmission.
I heard Yue Buqun continue to say: "Actually, a lot of actual combat is the best cultivation method!"
In the next three months, you will first learn swordsmanship with Ling Hu Chong every three or five times.
Three months later, I sent you to North Korea to do things......
Now the Dongying army is attacking Korea, and there are a large number of swordsmanship masters among the Dongying army!
As long as you can duel with them one by one and win the battle, based on the 'Sword Interception Technique', you will definitely be able to achieve great swordsmanship extremely quickly!"
Lin Pingzhi's eyes were shocked, and then he ate as if nothing had happened.
Yue Buqun also began to eat, but in his heart he began to plan the layout in North Korea.
Jing Ji thought about it, this time it is very likely that he will personally go to North Korea to see the level of the top swordsman in Dongying, is it as powerful as the island country?
If it weren't for that, he wouldn't have suggested that Lin Pingzhi go to North Korea......
Moreover, if he had stayed in Huashan all the time, how would those ghosts and ghosts who were plotting to make the fox chong dare to approach Huashan? )
