Chapter 114: Wudang Yixia Song Yuanqiao
Because of the help of the rebels in southern Anhui, the battle of Wuhu was extremely easy.
Almost unscathed, he took Wuhu and the land and water company camp, obtained a large number of armaments and materials, and most importantly, many large ships in the water camp that had not been scuttled will be a great help for Zhao Yu's western attack on Jiqing.
The plot against Wuhu had been brewing for several years, and after the First World War was decided, various affairs were quickly and orderly operated. The water battalion built within the framework of the local Jinghu Gang in Wuhu was stationed in the Wuhu Navy Battalion and actively prepared for the possible counterattack in Jiqing. The captive army was busy clearing the rout, and at the same time arranging and subduing soldiers.
After this battle, there were only more than 3,000 people left in the southern Anhui rebel army, and Zhao Yu was able to take Wuhu so easily, which can be said to be thanks to their contributions. Zhao Yu did not intend to let go of these more than 3,000 people, firstly, these soldiers were all young and strong, and with a little training, they were a strong team, and secondly, Zhao Yu was also afraid that after these people were released back to their hometowns, they would turn into rogues and continue to cause trouble in southern Anhui.
As for the leaders of these rebels, they were all taken into custody. Zhao Yu didn't have a plan on how to deal with these people, so he simply ignored them.
Du Zundao and a large number of civil officials from the governor's office arrived in Wuhu and took over the affairs of people's livelihood. Because Wuhu was the focus of the Yuan court, Zhao Yu did not intend to follow the example of Chuzhou and put the local gentry in charge, and suppressed several civil riots set off by the gentry with an iron fist. Now that he has the strength and confidence, he no longer has to be cautious and compromised.
Time flies by in the busyness, and the fifteenth year is coming to an end.
In winter, the river was cold, and the water war was unfavorable, and the Jiangnan camp of the Yuan court missed a good opportunity to recover Wuhu. Zhao Yu made full use of this time to operate the first line of Chuzhou Wuhu into a monolith, and the entire southern Anhui was in the bag, and the Five Elements Banner of Mingjiao was very popular, and no one in the south of the Yangtze River could reach it!
When the New Year was approaching, Wuhu ushered in a heavy visitor, Song Yuanqiao, the head of the Wudang Seven Heroes.
Zhao Yu knew that the Wudang faction was deeply rooted in Huguang, and he didn't dare to support it, so he personally greeted him outside the mansion, and said from afar: "I have admired the prestige of Song Daxia for a long time, and I have lost my welcome." ”
Song Yuanqiao is about forty years old, which is the age of prime and strength, because Zhang Sanfeng has been in retreat all the year round and ignores mundane affairs, he can already be regarded as the real head of the Wudang faction. After years of Qi cultivation, even if Mount Tai collapses, it can not change color. But now he has a sad look on his face, just because his only son Song Qingshu fell into the hands of the demon sect, which is a heavy blow to the reputation of the entire Wudang faction.
And what makes him even more sad is that the little demon lord is rumored to have a murderous reputation in the rivers and lakes, as a loving father, even if he is facing the most despicable demon demon on weekdays, he must lower his posture at this time and say humbly: "Mr. Zhao has a good reputation, and Song has a thin reputation in the rivers and lakes, so why worry about it in front of the chief manager." ”
He was calm on the surface, but many thoughts were surging in his heart. Although it was only the first time he met, he was no stranger to Zhao Yu. In recent years, he naturally didn't believe many rumors about the Little Demon Monarch on the rivers and lakes, but he was as close as the sixth junior brother Yin Liting, and the local gentry Haoqiang, who had a deep relationship with the Wudang faction, also mentioned this person in front of him many times. Although I already had an evaluation in my heart, after seeing it with my own eyes, I couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
Song Yuanqiao was the earliest to enter Zhang Sanfeng's door, and he got his true inheritance, and his martial arts were ranked high in the rivers and lakes. But standing opposite the young man, he still couldn't see the details of the young man. What surprised him even more was that the young man was able to convince the unruly people of the Ming Sect at a young age, and he was in charge of Wuhu in an orderly manner.
Such a rare genius in the rivers and lakes has just entered the Ming Sect! Thinking of this section, Song Yuanqiao, who has a clear distinction between good and evil, feels very sorry.
invited Song Yuanqiao into the mansion, and Zhao Yu immediately ordered someone to invite Song Qingshu, who was under house arrest.
Song Yuanqiao saw that his son had been in prison for many days, but instead of clearing it, he gained a lot of weight, and knew that Zhao Yu did not treat his son harshly. A boulder in his heart finally fell to the ground, but when he saw Song Qingshu's expression was gloomy and lackluster, he felt a little unhappy in his heart. Especially compared with the radiant little demon lord in front of him, no matter how biased Song Yuanqiao is, he has to admit that the two of them are too different in terms of martial arts and resourcefulness.
When Song Qingshu saw his father come to rescue him, there was a faint fear in his surprise, and his body trembled before he could speak. This time the army was defeated in Wuhu, all his courage was worn away, especially under house arrest for several months, worrying that he would die every day, trembling and tormenting.
rescued his son, Song Yuanqiao's expression also became calm, and he thanked Zhao Yu before he spoke: "Song has a reluctant request, this time many friends in the rivers and lakes in southern Anhui have offended the manager because of the dog's willful behavior, and I hope the manager can let them go." ”
"Since Song Daxia has spoken, there is naturally no problem. Zhao Yu responded directly and said: "However, with all due respect, these people have more or less committed some murder in southern Anhui. Now that southern Anhui is under my rule, although I let them go in front of Song Daxia, I will not allow them to return to southern Anhui, otherwise they will be killed! This matter should be told in advance, so as not to lose Song Daxia's face and cause misunderstandings in the future. ”
Song Yuanqiao heard that Zhao Yu was still smiling a moment ago, and in a moment he was awe-inspiring with murderous intent, and at the same time with a slight chill in his heart, he patted his chest and promised: "I will persuade them with my heart so that they do not violate the governor's prohibition." ”
Zhao Yu nodded in agreement, and was about to serve tea to the guests, but heard Song Yuanqiao say again: "The manager is willing to let go of the little dog that offended you and the heroes of southern Anhui, which shows that the house is kind." Why do you have to use Mingjiao to start an incident and poison the people in a place? It is not that Song is prejudiced, but it is really that Mingjiao's reputation has been evil for hundreds of years, and it is extremely unpopular. The Tartars stole from China, and people with lofty ideals in the world did not have the ambition to expel the Tartars, but there were very few who were willing to collude with the Ming Sect. The young hero in charge should not understand this truth......"
Hearing this persuasion, which can be regarded as a serious persuasion, Zhao Yu fell silent.
Song Yuanqiao's views are not necessarily all out of prejudice, and it can even be said that they are the views of the vast majority of local powerful gentry. Mingjiao is indeed popular among the people at the bottom, but it is also an indisputable fact that it is unpopular among the rivers and lakes and the local gentry. Not only Song Yuanqiao is an outsider, but even Liu Bowen and other advisers from Mingjiao have recently advised Zhao Yu to form a good alliance with the local gentry to win people's hearts, so that it is possible to achieve great things.
Zhao Yu also weighed for a long time, whether to start to eliminate the influence of Mingjiao in his territory?
Intellectually speaking, Zhao Yu should approve of Liu Futong's approach, and only regard Mingjiao as a means to achieve his wishes, rather than a belief. Moreover, with his status as the emperor of the former dynasty, which was highly recognized by the local gentry, once he abandoned Mingjiao, not only would he not weaken his strength, but he would be able to gather people's hearts more and plot the world more certainly.
What made Zhao Yu hesitate was that he couldn't be sure what was the significance of fighting for the world in this way? The land of Shenzhou was not without prosperity, the Qin, Han, Tang, and Song dynasties, or the poetry and books were prosperous, or the four empires were mighty. This piece of fertile soil, which has nourished the Han people for thousands of years, is more like being cursed if you taste it carefully, falling into the cycle of prosperity and decline and prosperity, being ravaged by foreign iron horses again and again, and being reborn in the ruins again and again. Is there a problem with the land itself, or is it a relationship between man and man?
The Mongols were not the first alien race to wreak havoc on Middle-earth, but they were more powerful than ever before, and their armies were far greater than any other nation in history. Even in a hostile position, Zhao Yu sincerely admires this, and thus knows that there is another vast world outside of China.
Even now, Zhao Yu has not regarded the king of the world as the ultimate goal. After the first Song Dynasty, the first Song Dynasty was reestablished, and after all, it could not escape the trap of the rise and fall of the common people. If the Mongols can be driven out of Middle-earth, the old conventions and bad habits of this land will be swept away, and it is no exaggeration to say that this is a great opportunity unseen in 2,000 years! If we are only satisfied with repeating the mistakes of the previous dynasties and not stepping into the shackles of our predecessors, it is foreseeable that in a few hundred years, this homeland of Shenzhou will be another place where foreign races are wreaking havoc!
Mingjiao's set has many drawbacks, Zhao Yu disagrees with it from the bottom of his heart, and has never hoped that it can solve the problems that have plagued Shenzhou for thousands of years and cannot be solved by countless resourceful people. However, the people of Mingjiao have an exhilarating spirit, from the messengers to the scattered people, down to the poor and white households, there is a heroic spirit that dares to change the color of heaven and earth. This is more than a thousand years has become the twilight of the gentry and strong do not have, when this millennium has not had the opportunity, Zhao Yu did not want to encourage everyone, to create a new generation!
This idea originally only vaguely existed in Zhao Yu's mind, but when faced with Song Yuanqiao's advice, it gradually became clear. However, he himself had to admit that this was a delusion, but among all those who have achieved things in history, which one has not had a delusion? Emperor Qin swept **, and decided the situation in one fell swoop, and he did not have the extravagant hope of the first and second generations and even ten thousand lifetimes. If he didn't have such delusional spirit, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to achieve this amazing achievement!
Heroes have no seeds, and they have always been created by the times. Zhuge Wuhou Zhiguan is ancient and modern, and knows everything about astronomy and geography, but he can only wander around in Xichuan in his life. And Zhao Pu, the founding sage of the previous dynasty, half of the Analects can govern the world. When the storm meets, it is time to be the first in the world!
There is no shortage of people who can do things, but there is only a shortage of people who dare to do things. Zhao Yu is lucky, he has a group of people around him who dare to do things, supporting him to be fearless and move forward bravely!
When he finally made a plan in his heart, Zhao Yu suddenly found that Song Yuanqiao's father and son had already left, and he couldn't help but laugh dumbly.
