At the end of June of Wu Jinghan's tenth year, the battle of Liangshan in Shandong was mixed in the huge drama of the Wu Dynasty's southern campaign at this time, and it did not cause much shock at this time. Although people with sensitive touch can feel something from it, compared with the boiling situation of the whole situation, even if someone can take the situation seriously, the information obtained will always seem insignificant. Poliang Mountain, an extremely popular saying in later generations, is still under pressure in Tong Guanfu Yanyun's ancient achievements, like a small tributary in the tide of history, ignored by people, and disappeared into the forest in a blink of an eye.
During the period when Tong Guan, Liu Yanqing, Guo Yaoshi, Xin Xingzong, Fang La...these people were active, and even Wanyan Aguta in the north led the rise of the Jin people, and Xiao Gan of the Liao Kingdom propped up the last afterglow of a great empire. The name of Ning Liheng appeared in the big screen of the movie, but it just added a little evidence to the saying that "heroes are born in large numbers" at this time. , the feeling that a big era has come fills everyone's heart, and the saying like "heroes are born in large numbers" has also filled the small talk in the streets and alleys, giving people an extremely intense and surging mood.
Not many people know that after a few years, all this has become the afterglow and afterglow of an empire, the silhouette of a larger era. In this era, the strongest and most decisive torrent originated from this. When historians of later generations went back to the front, they tried countless times to clear all the mists, clear the curtain of all the noisy and chaotic times, pushed aside Yanyun in the north and Fang La in the south, trying to focus on In Shandong, you can clearly see where the small stream that swept into the woods began to turn into a vast river.
At the end of June, in the military camp of Wu Rui Camp, more than a thousand prisoners of Liangshan were left behind. These more than 1,000 people took the heads of more than three companions in the battle in Liangshan. Regardless of the way, they were all left behind after their identities were filed.
The first days of being held as a prisoner in a military camp were not easy. Most of these people who want to exchange their heads for riches and honors understand that they have been put together, and the soldiers of Wu Rui Camp will not give them a good look. During the month-long detention, they basically died every day. I spent time with the threat of starvation, and the news from the outside world only came little by little, including Song Jiang's slaughter, the cleaning of the entire waterbore, and the killing of each other by the companions who fell outside...
The collapse of the overall situation has worn away a lot of their will to resist. Although Wu Rui Camp was a bit unbearable when facing Shangliang Mountain, but at this time, it was absolutely cruel to the prisoners, and it was basically useless to protest. As for them, both the local officials and the generals of Wu Rui Camp held an attitude that they could not be released. After a month of starvation, most of the thousand people were scattered and integrated into the military of the Wu Dynasty, like dripping water into a big river, and they could survive more than ten years later. Not many.
Among them, a total of 507 people signed a ten-year life deed and joined a merchant called Zhuji. After about a few months, more than 100 people were sent to the army one after another. After the initial batch of screening, a total of 382 people were accepted by Zhuji.
At this time, these people have not yet realized that they will join any major events or will be deeply remembered in future generations. Of course, for later generations, these three hundred and eighty-two people are only a symbolic number, not necessarily because they support something, just because they mean the beginning.
And this beginning is not necessarily a bright one.
In late July, when Ning Yi first came to Wu Rui Camp, he decided on the whereabouts and whereabouts of more than 1,000 people. He confessed to these people the views of the surrounding officials on their going and staying, either joining the army and gaining freedom after achieving merit, or joining Zhuji and selling themselves for ten years.
At that time, Ning Yi's face was still not healthy, and his statements were plain and indifferent. Here, more than a thousand people who have been starved for more than a month did not dare to protest too much. The whole selection process was completed within two days, and then Ning Yi paid the full amount of the bonus for each head. It is given out, especially for those who go to join the army. While giving out the money, it tells them that they have money, money, and other things. When they go to the military camp, they can manage up and down, so they can live better. Later, some people benefited from it, and some people because of These silver taels suffer.
Regarding these matters about Liangshan, the most direct followers besides Qin Siyuan's Right Prime Minister's Mansion, there are actually the forces of the Taiwei's Mansion involved. At first, he may have just paid attention. When he learned about Ning Yi's tactics when he broke Liangshan, he took advantage of the chaos that others denounced him as a "inner demon". Gao Qiu issued an order to Zhou Tong who happened to pass by. . For him, this was a handy move after learning about Ning Yi's friction with his family. After the failure, the Taiwei's mansion, which was unwilling to face the right prime minister's mansion, fell silent. inside.
Only the 500 people who were left behind became the most realistic problem for Ning Yi at that time. Whether it was Wang Shanyue, Zhu Biao or Lu Hongti and others, they all objected at first. Whether these people can be included in Zhuji can be assured and whether it will be safe or not is a huge question. In these years, if you have money, you can hire experts on the rivers and lakes, recruit slaves, and buy the poor who can't afford food. At least there is no hatred in these people's hearts, and in terms of loyalty, they are much more reliable than the more than 500 people in Liangshan.
Historians of later generations have investigated this time and occasionally raised similar questions, but the process of how these people were later trained and even brainwashed by Ning Yi seems to have been deliberately obliterated by Ning Yi, and there is not much information left. , the participants at the time did not talk much about it later.
If anyone really looked into this, they might find something broken.
After dealing with the prostitution of these people, Ning Yi and others set up a closed camp near Dulonggang. Ning Yi stayed here for about a month. After everything was on the right track, Su Wenyu was in charge of the whole thing. In the memory of the residents of Dulonggang, the exercise in the camp is basically simple standing, sitting and walking, but at night, it is often a group of people sitting together and talking, sometimes the voices inside are very loud.
In addition, there were several riots, all of which were suppressed.
After about three months of this kind of thing, the camp will be semi-closed and the remaining nearly 400 people will come out to do something for Dulonggang. Some people at the door of some people will put down the silver taels they have saved.
At this time, the resentment of Dulonggang residents for Liangshan's remnants is still there. Every time such an action, Zhu Biao and others have to pull people up to prevent the villagers from making drastic actions. But not many people understand why these people have become like this in a few months.
This matter has remained an unsolved mystery for a long time since then. Three months later, the second group of people entered the semi-closed camp, which was more than 300 young people bought from various places when winter came After half a year of training, they became part of Zhuji. After the third batch of young people came out, the three hundred and eighty-two people who belonged to Liangshan finally dispersed to various places in 6... These are all things to come later. !
In early August, on the hillside where the sun was setting, Hongti sat there, watching the camp that was gradually being built down the hill. Ning Yi came from behind, looked at the sunset, and sat down beside her.
In the distance, more than 500 people at the foot of the mountain were practicing in a neat formation—under Ning Yi's strict requirements and the threat of death, the formation was too neat.
"I'm still a little worried, you keep these people by your side." Hong Ti said, "If you continue to practice like this, of course, ordinary people can be banned, but they have hatred against you after all. You let those monks come over, I tell them some big truths every night, and they may not understand."
"They will understand." Ning Yi smiled.
Hongti shook his head: "I'm still worried about your safety. I'm not smart... Tell me seriously, let them try their best to talk about what they did wrong these few nights, will it really help?"
Ning Yi was silent for a moment: "I'm afraid... it's not just useful. Don't think too much about it, it's not a good thing, I'll only use it this time... "
"Mysterious."
Hongti glanced at him and hugged her knees. For a few days, Hongti always maintained her temperament as Ning Yi's master when she was in front of others. She wore a tulle hat and a dress that Ning Yi chose for her with a "female hero" and "grand master" temperament. When following Ning Yi's side, not many people dared to ignore her. Especially at the moment when her record of chasing and killing Liangshan people has been made public, the name "Heshan Iron Sword" Lu Hongti has spread all over Qilu, and together with "Xin Demon", she will become a star killer that no one dares to provoke. head off.
Zhu Chaofeng and others from Dulonggang had to salute her respectfully, sit on the head when sitting in the living room, and sit on the table for dinner. Hongti was originally indifferent and didn't care about such things, but Ning Yi was keen on it. Every time she raised her seniority a bit, Hongti had to look like an expert. Zhu Biao had asked her for a hand several times, and within a few moves, he was grabbed with empty hands. Only Luan Tingyu was able to make some moves with her, but he couldn't beat her. The people of Dulonggang now have a great reverence for this female master.
Only when there is no one else, the two can be casual. Speaking of this at this time, her tone was not unpleasant. She just felt very powerful about Ning Yi's mystery, but she was a little proud of it.
Ning Yi smiled and took her by the shoulders: "I will be measured. But you, if you go back to Luliang Mountain, you must be careful, don't always work hard and wait for me to come to you."
Hongti nodded: "Liao Kingdom is defeated, and Lu Liang should be able to be peaceful for a while. If the Wu Dynasty really recaptured the sixteen states of Yanyun, there will be no more grassy valleys in the future."
"If that's the case, it would be a good thing, but... don't take it lightly..."
"… Um."
As one of the world's best martial arts masters, she leaned on her lover's shoulder and looked at the sunset, with some longing in her eyebrows.
The matter of Tong Guanfu in Yanjing had already spread all over the Wu Dynasty at this time. Under the orange-red sunset, the evening wind blew the decaying grass on the hillside, and flew into the air, blowing the clothes and hair of the two of them, drifting into the distance with a woman's longing and a man's prudence. Although the subsequent developments may not be as expected, the scene of the two sitting snuggled and the warmth in their hearts can always be remembered...
Even if she will return to the harsh mountains again and fight against all maliciousness, she will no longer be confused. Because outside the mountains, there is a person who is coming in. Thinking of this, both the heart and the sword will be quiet, and it will also support her to become the iron-blooded sword that truly holds the entire Lu Liang.
Not long after, in a small room in Miao Jiang's Lanhuan Dong, a girl named Liu Xigua sat there, looking at the little sunlight streaming in through the window lattice, tears rolled down her cheeks. Because on this day, she received the news that just a few days ago, officers and soldiers broke through Qingxi, outside Zitong Cave, Shenggong Fangla led the remnants to break through the siege unsuccessfully, and after three days of fighting, she died of exhaustion, and Queen Shao Xianying also committed suicide. Fang Qifo, Fang Baihua and others led a very small number of others to flee.
Liu Tiannan brought tea and came in from the door: "Girl, don't be sad anymore... about this..."
Liu Xigua raised his face, the sun shone on the rolling tears: "I prefer it."
"Alas..." Liu Tiannan put down the tea and finally withdrew.
After all, the Ba Dao Battalion started with Fang La. After the first battle in Hangzhou, there were only 800 young people who could fight, and they had to protect 1,000 or 2,000 family members, the old and the weak. At the beginning, Ning Yi made the plan to transfer and establish a foothold, and Xigua also arbitrarily chose to separate and split with Fang La, who had already gone.
After that, Chen Fan led some people to leave and returned to Qingxi to save people. When the battle situation there was critical, there were also some men with warm hearts who wanted to help these comrades who had fought together. Watermelon vetoed these things without giving up. , but in fact, the relationship between her and Fang La and others is far deeper than the ties between others and Fang La.
In a sense, since Liu Dabiao's death, Sheng Gong Fang La, Shao Xianying, Fang Baihua and these people are almost her closest family members.
She once persuaded Fang La to flee to the other side, but Fang La refused. At this time, Liu Tiannan and some people who were close to her in the Battalion Battalion could feel the same way about how she felt in her heart to sit and watch these relatives die for the survival of the Battalion Battalion.
After Liu Tiannan left, Xigua sat there for a long while, and finally took out a few sheets of paper from his sleeves. At this time, the quality of the paper was not good. Maybe it had been viewed many times, and some of the sheets were large and small. The pieces of paper were all worn out. It was the news of "Liangshan in the town of demons" that came from outside not long ago. She inquired about it later, and she got these pieces of paper, but she couldn't put together the incident. the full picture.
"Ning Liheng..." She sniffed, then wiped away her tears, so that he couldn't be flattered!
She didn't speak anymore, but looking at the light shining in from the window, the feeling of wanting to cry came up again.
where are you…
- After Fang La conferred the head, the trouble of Yongle, which was so noisy, finally came to an end.
In the ten years of Jinghan's reign in the Wu Dynasty, both the north and the south were fixed. At the end of August, Ning Yi returned to Bianliang, which was a peaceful autumn. Not long after, a chain business system called Zhuji stretched out its tentacles on the land of the Wu Dynasty, and swelled like a monster...
The prelude to a great era has already begun.
S: The fourth episode is over here. The whole fourth episode is an episode for the later stage, and many of the threads are put down here. Bianliang's thread, Guo Yaoshi's thread, Lin Chong's thread, Zhou Pei's thread, etc., as well as Ning Yi's reasons for doing things, can finally take shape here. In the concept of connecting the past and the future, everything that should be done has been done.
The conclusion is unnecessary, and the name of the fifth episode is still "Feast". Some colds, this chapter began to code in the afternoon, and it has only been completed with revisions and revisions. Ask for a monthly pass
