The world is too big. From the Central Plains to the Jiangnan, the forces are separated by hundreds or even thousands of miles. There is always a lag in the dissemination of news. When the people in Lin'an initially discovered the clues of the world and were still anxiously waiting for development, the negotiation in Xicheng County and the innovation in Fuzhou were constantly advancing forward.
The negotiation in Xicheng County was initially regarded as a strategy of the Huaxia Army to retreat and advance. People who wanted to kill Dai Mengwei with a deep hatred imagined that the Huaxia Army would try to lead the public opinion and then attack. Xicheng County, kill Dai Mengwei, but as time progresses, such expectations gradually tend to be shattered.
This may be a development that Dai Mengwei himself had never thought of, but he was lucky, and his actions never stopped. On the one hand, people spread the news that tens of thousands of people in Xicheng County were holding the righteousness to force back the black flag.
The common people are blind. Although people who have just escaped the shadow of death do not dare to be the enemy of the black flag that defeated the Jurchen army, but after hearing the public opinion outside Xicheng County, the murderers like the black flag army can't help but give in. A heroic feeling inevitably arises in our hearts. We stand on the side of justice, how can we be so invincible
People enjoyed such emotions, so more people came to Xicheng County and confronted the Black Flag Army. When they realized that the Black Flag Army was really reasonable, the "justice" in people's hearts was even more aroused. At this moment The confrontation may become the light spot of their life.
These scenarios later became Dai Mengwei's political influence, and in the alliance with Liu Guangshi, he could gain more initiative. At this time, he also received, and even Wanyan Xiyin's promise to Bianliang and other places.
The most bizarre thing in the world has been turned over. Just as Wu Qimei and others have the impression, Dai Mengwei in the past was just a rotten scholar. In terms of influence and network, I am afraid that it is much inferior to anyone who has boarded the political center of Lin'an and Fuzhou, but who is it? Can he imagine that with his repeated manipulations of borrowing flowers and offering Buddhas, he can reach the core of the entire world like this, and even the forces like the Jurchen and the Huaxia Army have to make concessions in front of him? In a sense, this can really give people a feeling that the world is always the same force.
Later, some people sighed: In the past, the military strength of the Wu Dynasty was weak, and they played with scheming to sow discord between Jin and Liao, thinking that by relying on a little strategy, they could bridge the gap between strengths, and eventually set themselves on fire and destroy the country and family, but now it seems that, It's just that those people's strategies are too clumsy. If Dai Mengwei's seven points of skill at this time, I am afraid that the Yangyang Wu Dynasty will not be in such a situation.
The concession of the Huaxia Army gave Dai Mengwei a face. Under the appearance of being well-mannered and helpful, most people could not understand the persuasion and suggestions of the Huaxia Army when they agreed to negotiate. For more than ten years, people have become accustomed to the truth between swords and guns as the invaders, and regarded the seemingly peaceful persuasion as conscience and incompetence. Therefore, some people have adjusted their evaluation of the Huaxia Army, and some people have When I went to Hanzhong, I directly protested to Ning Yi and Qin Shaoqian.
Jin Chenghu, Scarface and others who responded to Juyi under the initiative of Fu Lu were one of the representatives of the protest.
After arriving in Hanzhong, what they saw in the Hanzhong camp of the Huaxia Army did not have much festive atmosphere because of the victory. Many soldiers of the Huaxia Army were helping the people clean up the mess in the Hanzhong city. Ning Yi met them on the seventh day of the first lunar month. He conveyed to them that the Huaxia Army was willing to follow the wishes of the people, and then invited them to Chengdu in June to discuss the future direction of the Huaxia Army. Such an invitation moved some people, but the previous views could not persuade Jianghu people like Jin Chenghu and Scarface, and they continued to protest.
Ning Yi listened quietly from above, and was silent for a long time.
"Senior Fu Lu and I are also old friends. Before the war, I invited him out of the mountains and called on the people of Green Forest to participate in the fight against gold, and he came happily. Now that Hanzhong has been defeated, I am very sad that I can't see him." He said, " Regarding the matter of Xicheng County, I know that many of you can't figure it out. You don't know why Dai Mengwei, who was so easy to kill, we don't kill him. South of the water, there are millions of people alive, they don't know why the Huaxia Army came, they don't know what the Huaxia Army is, they want to live a good life, kill Dai Mengwei today, they will always feel that following Dai Mengwei, they have a better life."
"… Of course, the real reason is more than that. The Huaxia Army is named after Huaxia. We hope that every Huaxia person can have his own will, a mature will and can live by his own will. To these millions People, of course we can choose to kill Dai Mengwei and explain the truth, but the problem now is that we don’t have so many teachers who can explain things clearly. A place, in the future, let the two sides compare to understand this truth. At that time... the debt will be repaid."
"... I know that you may not understand or agree with my statement, but this is a decision made by the Huaxia Army and cannot be changed."
He paused slightly: "Everyone, there is a truth in this world, it's hard to say it makes everyone happy, each of us has our own ideas, and when the concept of Huaxia Army is implemented, we hope that more people will have better ideas. There are many ideas, but these ideas must be condensed in one direction through one method, just like the Huaxia Army you have seen, gathering together can condense into a single rope, and everyone can be dispersed to fight the enemy, the 20,000 people You can defeat the 100,000 people in the Jin Kingdom."
"... The whole of China in the future, we also hope to be like this, everyone knows why they live, so that everyone can live for themselves, so when the enemy comes, they can stand up and know what to do, not like back then. Like Bianliang, millions of people shivered in front of the 100,000 people in the Jin Kingdom, they dared not move when the butcher knife was cut down, and after the slaughterer left, they went to the streets to throw shit on their own people who couldn't resist. ."
"... How did it become like this, how to balance when everyone's ideas are contradictory, how a future regime or imperial court will do these things, we have had some ideas over the years, make preparations in May, and prepare in June. It will be announced in Chengdu. You are all heroes who have participated in this war, so I hope you will go to Chengdu, learn about it, discuss it, and if you have any ideas, even about Dai Mengwei, we can also do it at that time. Let's talk again."
After he said this, there were whispers in the room, some people understood a little, but more than half of the people still seemed to understand. After a while, Ning Yi saw a man with a scarred face standing up among the people below.
"Mr. Ning, I'm a rude person. I don't understand any country, court, etc. I... I have something that I want to tell you today."
Du Sha leaned over slightly and said something in Ning Yi's ear, Ning Yi nodded, "Eighth Master, please speak."
"I can't be called the Eighth Master. Mr. Ning calls me the Old Eight... Some people here know me. The Old Eight is not a hero. What Green Forest does is to collect money and help people write off their accounts. I have done evil for half my life, and it would not be a pity to die at any time, but when the golden dog came, there was still a bit of blood in the old man's chest. He and a few brothers and sisters around him got a letter from Mr. Fu Lu, and since last year, they have been killing Jurchen! "
Half of the people present were from Jianghu, and at this moment someone started drinking:
"It's a man."
"Heroes!"
Ning Yi listened quietly, the old man bowed his hands: "At the beginning of this year, the old dog Dai Mengwei pretended to resist gold and called everyone to Xicheng County. Everyone knows what happened, but there was a period of time when he resisted gold. Jin’s name was exposed, and the golden dog said that he wanted to kill the pair of sons and daughters that the old dog secretly hid. We got the letter and joined several brothers and sisters to protect his son and daughter regardless of life and death, senior Fulu and other heroes. At that time, it was a trick. The son of the old dog colluded with the Jurchen and summoned the army to surround us.
When he said this, the words became difficult. Many people present knew this matter and their expressions became solemn. Scarface gritted his teeth: "But there are some small things in the middle that you don't know."
He said: "Dai Mengwei's son colluded with the golden dog. We don't know if his daughter has any. On the way to escort this brother and sister, we were intercepted several times, and his sister was kidnapped on the way. One of my little brothers went to the rescue, but fell alone on the way. They found us after a few days and joined the team. This little brother of mine doesn't like to talk, but he is a real good person and has nothing to do with the golden dog. Shared revenge and saved my life in the past..."
When he said this, his tone was slightly choked up.
"... At that time, Dai Mengwei's son-in-law was collaborating with the enemy, and the Jurchen army had already surrounded him. He wanted to convince people to surrender. Senior Fu Lu slapped him to death. His sister didn't seem to know whether he knew it or not, but in that situation ... My little brother, he stood in front of the woman at the time, and the golden dog was about to kill him, no mercy for women! But I knew by looking at my little brother's eyes... My little brother, he It's true, I'm moved..."
Scarface has been licking blood with a knife all his life, and killing people is useless. At this time, his face was hideous, but his eyes were red, tears fell, and he gritted his teeth:
"... my little brother, he is real, he is moved... "
There was silence in the hall, someone wiped their eyes, and Scarface did not tell the next story, but at this point, everyone can guess what will happen next. Jin Bing besieged a group of people from the green forest, the blade was in front of him, and it was too late to tell whether the Dai family woman was an enemy or a friend. In fact, it was useless. Even if the Dai family woman was really innocent, there would naturally be people who were not determined. Seeing her as a way out, under such circumstances, people can only have one choice.
In the more than ten years that Jurchen went south, many people have heard more than one or two similar stories.
Scarface looked up at Ning Yi, staring, letting tears flow down his face.
"Mr. Ning, when you murdered the monarch and rebelled back then, it was because the ignorant monarch wronged a good man! You said that your heart was uneasy, and you killed the old emperor with a knife! Today, you said a lot of reasons, but I am a rude man. People, I don't know what you are going to say in Chengdu, it has nothing to do with me! If I don't kill Dai Mengwei, I will have a hard time in my life!"
His fist was knocked on his chest, Ning Yi's eyes met him quietly, without saying anything, after a while, Scarface slightly cupped his hands:
"If you don't kill him, I will kill myself! Dai Mengwei's entire clan, I vow to kill them all with my own hands. Go to Chengdu and talk about China!"
He turned and left, and more people turned and left. Someone moved towards Ning Yi and spat.
****************
The meeting with Jin Chenghu, Scarface and others on the seventh day of the fifth lunar month was only a small episode in the past few days. Although some things were moving, but in this huge world, it was difficult to shake the trajectory of the world.
At the end of April, there was still a lot of optimism in the Huaxia Seventh Army stationed in Hanzhong after defeating Zonghan. Such optimism was something they won with their own hands, and they were more qualified to enjoy the optimism and ease at the moment than anyone else in the world. But after meeting a large number of fighting heroes on April 30 and chatting with them for half a day, on the first day of May, serious meetings have already started one after another under the auspices of Ning Yi.
The question of Zou Xu's corruption and treachery was put in front of the senior officers, and Ning Yi then began to detail the next troubles of the Huaxia Army to the surviving senior officers of the Seventh Army. The place is too big and the personnel reserve is too small. Once it relaxes a little, the corruption problem similar to Zou Xu will appear greatly. Once immersed in an atmosphere of enjoyment and relaxation, the Huaxia Army may completely lose its future.
The real test will come after each staged victory. This kind of test is even bigger and more difficult to overcome than what people encounter on the battlefield.
At the same time as the meeting of unifying thoughts unfolded, the surviving troops of the Seventh Army of the Huaxia Army also began to enter Hanzhong City in large numbers to help the people carry out systematic reconstruction work. The combat practice of slack emotions.
On the one hand, Ning Yi grasped such practical statistics and dealt with the military problems that came up in every detail. On the other hand, he also began to explain that the southwest was preparing for the Chengdu Conference in June. At the same time, he gave suggestions for the future of Jindi and the future situation in Liangshan. The treatment has also reached an imminent level.
Zong Hanxiyin is already a defeated general, and it may be relatively easy to deal with returning to Yunzhong from Jin, but Zongfu Zongbi's East Route Army has already crossed the Yangtze River, and will soon cross the Yellow River and Shandong. It was summer now, and Liangshan's two armies had not even gotten a real respite from the massive famine, while the East Route Army was strong.
This battle is imminent.
