Xiao Cang River.
The night had already fallen. On the mountainside, in the courtyard composed of half cave and half house, dinner was still being prepared, and the atmosphere in each room was already lively.
It's not the first time that the master's family who came back from outside the mountains is blocking the family in the kitchen at this time. In this era of paying attention to the gentleman and the chef, a big rebel (anyway, someone who does big things) has become famous all over the world. , occasionally going to the kitchen to give advice on how to prepare meals, or even frying an egg by hand, which is really a troublesome thing for the family and the cook.
Ning Yi was scrambled eggs, and in the yard outside, there were various voices chattering, and when he came back from outside the mountain, a bunch of people inevitably came to the door. For example, Chen Fan, Du Sha, and Fang Shuchang all came here to eat and drink. Before killing Zhou Zhe, Zhuji's main business was to open a restaurant. Ning Yi was very particular about food. He was not like Cai Jing's big family. He killed a hundred chickens with one dish and only fried his tongue. I don't like the eating habits below the standard.
So when Ning Yi was in the capital, he scoured a lot of cooks. Chen Fan and others had worked hard in Jiangnan before, but they didn't meet Ning Yi, so they couldn't enjoy these benefits. Although they entered the mountain at this time, not many cooks followed, and most of them had to take care of the big pot of rice, but there was always one left in Ning Yi's family. Right now, the cook of the Ning family is called Tang Shulie. In fact, he is a native of the Green Forest. He is skilled in martial arts. cook.
This Tang Shulie just likes cooking and thinks it's a trail. At the beginning, he and Chen Tuozi and others generally served as a nurse for Ning Yi. Later, he also experienced the battle of Xia Village. In his spare time when he was practicing martial arts, he asked Zhuji chef to teach him a few recipes. He only used it for leisure. Becoming a chef, on weekdays, there is a sense of darkness. Chen Tuozi and others persuaded him to take over the matter. It's good to protect Mr. Ning, but it's hard to say what he thinks in private. At this time, Ning Yi actually went to his territory to scramble eggs. As a chef, his face was quite unhappy.
Chen Fan, Du Sha and the others watched from the door, picking things up: "Put a few more eggs and put more eggs. There are so many people, just a little bit, how can there be enough to eat, Boss Ning, it's so late. You I know it's messing up."
"If you add anything to the mess, the taste of the cauldron will change. You guys have opinions if you don't invite me, don't eat what I cook!"
"Of course not! Lao Tang, cook the same for me... Look at Lao Tang's face..."
"Big Brother Tang, Big Brother Tang, let me tell you, you know, I, Chen Fan, am not someone who picks up troubles. I don't know what your temper is. If it were me, I would definitely not be able to bear it!"
"Master... you still go out... "
"What a joke! Old Tang, who is your boss and who feeds you, don't bully the soft or be hard. Do you know, that Chen Fan, if you go out with him, I'll bet you to win!" Ning Yi waved the spatula and smiled. After joking, everyone inside and outside the room also laughed. Tang Shulie was helpless, and Chen Fan sneered at the door: "I don't fight Lao Tang."
Fang Shuchang, who was watching the excitement outside the door, came over and put his arms around his shoulder: "What is a duel? What is a duel? When have we Chen Fan ever been afraid of a duel. Xiaofan. I'm not someone who picks things up, I don't know what your temper is like. , if it were me, I would definitely not be able to bear it…”
"I can't bear anything, my husband can bend and stretch. Do I still have food to fight with Lao Tang..."
Everyone has been together for several months. At this time, there are lively people around the kitchen, and there are many people coming and going in the courtyard and surrounding rooms. There are several leaders of the Ba Dao Camp, Su Wending and other Su family members. His relatives include Zhu Biao and Chen Tuozi. He Zhicheng and Liu Chengzong who came to see Ning Yi, as well as some disciples who were in Hangzhou before, such as Zhuo Xiaofeng, came to join in the fun. Su Taner brought Xiaochan, Juaner and other family members in charge of setting up tables, chairs, tableware, and tableware. Ning Xi, who was over four years old, ran around in the crowd and went to the kitchen to bring a bowl of water to bring back for her brother to drink.
His younger brother Xiaochan's one-year-old and four-month-old Ning Ji was walking slowly under the eaves on the other side, saying, "Daddy! Daddy!" He staggered like a penguin. Watermelon, who was looking at him with a stern face, reached out and grabbed him. Ningji shook his head, and after seeing the person clearly, he opened his mouth to reveal the deciduous teeth in his mouth: "Hehe, Aunt Gua!"
"My name is Liu Dabiao." Xigua picked him up and corrected him seriously, "Come on, call Aunt Dabiao."
"watermelon!"
"I don't want to play with you anymore." She put the child back where she was, sat back under the eaves and continued to keep a straight face, Ning Ji staggered over to her, and continued to open her mouth and laugh heartlessly. . Xiaochan never went too far, and when she saw the helplessness of watermelon, she covered her mouth and smiled, and did not participate in the plan.
Yunzhu is already pregnant and has just begun to show her belly, but wearing thicker clothes, she can't tell. Jin'er accompanied her to set the tableware and chopsticks in the room. Their circle didn't fit well with Chen Fan and the gang of rebels for the time being, but they also had their own things to do. Since going north, Yunzhu is mainly responsible for sorting and managing some books shipped from the capital. She has the highest attainments in music, but when it comes to qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, almost all of them are involved and in-depth. Orthodox understanding may be better than Ning Yi.
That's why, when she came to Qingmu Village, and then came to Xiaocanghe, in addition to slowly filing books, she also spent half an hour to an hour every afternoon to teach the orthodox Four Books and Five Classics.
In order to stabilize the morale of the army, the entire Xiao Canghe team at this time will be open a lot. The lower level is mainly to explain the problems of the Wu Dynasty, explain the situation after that, and increase the sense of urgency. The upper level is often led by Ning Yi, and the importance of efficiency, management skills, and various things arrangement skills are taught to those involved in the administration. Most of the explanations given by people are to stabilize the morale of the army, analyze various reasons, and also participate in some methods of inciting people and caring for people similar to pyramid schemes and preaching, but these are basically short-term and medium-term tutorials based on "use", similar to Short-term courses in modern teaching management, successful people forum lectures, etc.
When it comes to knowledge learning, there are not many people who have advanced needs in this area. When Ning Yi was in Hangzhou, he shared some formal Confucian knowledge with Zhuo Xiaofeng and other children of the "Yongle Youth League Righteousness Association", and did some enlightenment. He also used various metaphors and modern teaching methods to enable them to quickly learn. After reading some truths, these people came to Miaojiang, and most of the knowledge was obtained from self-study. This time, some children showed interest in orthodox knowledge and "truth", and Ning Yi distributed them to Yunzhu. Explain some of the words in the regular books.
Although Yunzhu does not have a very broad view and vision in this regard, the explanation of knowledge is extremely positive. In the eyes of Zhuo Xiaofeng and others, such a weak and weak teacher can have such profound knowledge, which is no different from a great scholar. I respect her more and more. During this period, some children of the core characters of Zhuji joined in one after another. Although the team was not large, the life on Yunzhu's side was enriched.
A group of people were chatting and laughing, Ning Yi cooked a little dish, and then moved the stove away, so as not to hinder Tang Shulie's work. He and Du Sha, Chen Fan and others were talking in the courtyard on the side, and the topic was naturally inseparable from this Bianliang broken city, or they encountered a lot of situations when they went out, and it didn't take long. Qin Shaoqian, who was wearing a blindfold and a military uniform, also came. The men took their seats in one room and sat at two tables, while the women and children went to the other room. Although Watermelon was one of the leaders, she also accompanied Su Tan'er to the other room to take a seat. Occasionally teasing Xiao Ningji, who had only been talking for a while, would soon make Ning Ji cry. He sneered embarrassingly with a cold face again.
Take a seat, greet and serve. When Qin Shaoqian asked about the situation of going out this time, Ning Yi shook his head slightly.
The problems faced by Xiaocanghe are not small.
Of course, no matter who it is, he killed an emperor and raised his troops to rebel. The problems encountered are not small...
****************
Since half a year ago, after Ning Yi and others killed the monarch, the first problem they encountered was not the external pursuit. Although in the Golden Palace, Cai Jing and others shouted "Your Majesty was assassinated and died." Ning Yi's delay was broken, but after that, Lu Liang's cavalry rushed into the palace for a while, and carried out a round of rushing with the forbidden army in the palace. Then, according to the previous plan, they carried out rescue and pacification soldiers in the city. After several rounds of artillery shelling, in the environment of Bianliang City, the shelling of the elm wood artillery once hit the defenders to the point of dread.
Afterwards, thousands of soldiers from the Wu Rui Battalion, who had been brought back by Qin Shaoqian, drove into the city. After the chaos, they even faced off against the forbidden army in the city for two days and two nights.
At this time, the emperor died, and the ministers were headless. Ning Yi and others looted several important places in the city, such as the Hanlin Academy, the Imperial Palace Library, the Armory of the Ministry of War, the Firearms Department, the Ministry of Household Warehouse, the Ministry of Industry Warehouse... Take a lot of books, gunpowder, seeds, medicinal materials. At that time, Tong Guan, who was in command of the army, had already been beheaded by Ning Yi. Although Cai Jing was scheming and experienced a lot of trouble, he was able to make a decision, but in order to survive, he instructed the forbidden army to shoot arrows in the palace and gave Ning Yi a handle.
In the city, Ning Yi not only publicized the scandal of the redemption of the six states of Yanyun, but also the shady stories of every household, and also arranged for people in the city to shout the truth about killing the king eighty times a day. Cai Jingmen was born all over the world, and he knew that it was the most important moment. If only Tong Guan died, he could have hurried to take power and unite power against Ning Yi, but Ning Yi's behavior disrupted his legitimate command of the army. Sex, so that all parties are inevitably hesitant and wait-and-see. Ning Yi and others, Shi Shiran packed up these things and dragged them on the road with a carriage.
After leaving Beijing, the team did not go very fast, and another army caught up on the way. At this time, Ning Yi had 6,500 soldiers from the Wu Rui Battalion, 1,800 from the Luliangshan Horse Team, and more than 2,000 soldiers from the Ba Dao Battalion. The total was just over 10,000. Those who came after him were often a lineup of 45,000. Some generals realized the role of heavy cavalry, and they had already equipped the few cavalry under their command with armor, but these were meaningless.
Ning Yi and others broke up the chasing army twice in a row, but they didn't kill all the soldiers, and they broke up. Only the generals of the two troops, Lu Liang's cavalry, chased and killed them. Wu Huijun's commander, He Ping, and his personal guards were chased by Han Jing to the bank of the Yellow River to capture the owl's head. After that, the troops who were chasing after him just went to work and failed.
After successively defeating the resentful army, but confronting the Jurchen, and making a scene in Bianliang City, killing the emperor's army, the combat power is at its peak. But at the peak of this time, there is a hysterical atmosphere. The really huge problem lies in the thinking and future of this army. Not many people really dare to think about this matter. Once they think about it, they will inevitably fall into confusion. If this situation is maintained, the army will collapse in less than half a year.
The core of Ning Yi's response is a sentence: "Within one year, the capital and the north of the Yellow River will fall, and within three years, all the north of the Yangtze River will fall. This is the general trend of the Jurchen, and the court of the Wu Dynasty will be unable to return to the sky. If it falls down, we will try our best to save the Chinese people who may be saved..."
In order to penetrate this sentence into every part of the army, Ning Yi also did a lot of things at that time. In addition to propagating the black materials of the Wu Dynasty family along the way to the big families and states, shaking people's hearts and making them kill each other, the real brainwashing is still carried out in the military. In the top-down meeting, these things were broken apart one by one, smashed into pieces, and fed into people's minds. when these things penetrate. The following judgments and prophecies really have a foothold.
The prophecy about the fate of the Wu Dynasty determined the short-term and medium-term goals, determined the program and correctness of the action, and also implied that once the imperial court fell, we would face only the enemy. As a result, the military heart of Wu Ruiying was temporarily stabilized in such an assertion, if this assertion did not happen a year later. It is estimated that the psychology of the soldiers can only last until that time. However, Jin Bing finally went south again.
It is a bit ironic that the morale of an army depends on the victory of its greatest enemy, but in any case, it is so. The Jin Man's southward movement made this team's "rebellion" initially stand on its heels, and that's why. When the news of Bianliang City's collapse came, there would be such a big morale boost in the valley, because of the correctness of our side. It has improved again, and everyone's confidence in Ning Yi will undoubtedly increase greatly.
However, even if the foundation of the initial stage is so ironically laid, for Ning Yi and other high-level executives, the problems one by one have just begun to be solved. this middle. The first huge problem faced is that Qingmu Village is about to lose its geographical advantage.
Before deciding to kill Zhou Zhe, Ning Yi had two years of planning and management for Qingmu Village. As a business giant in his own position, he is too familiar with the understanding and coordination of supply and demand. Although Qingmu Village is smuggling, under the operation of Ning Yi, there will be active analysis and analysis of every transaction in the mountains to take care of business travel, their advantages and disadvantages, and what they can obtain and need. Suggest. In these years, not only do business with people, but also teach people how to do it, and actively coordinate the supply and demand of Wu and Jin. For businessmen, the convenience is huge, and the profits are of course huge.
Two years is not a long time, and the first year can only be said to be the beginning. However, the Secret Investigation Division has a lot of information. Through disaster relief, Zhuji also united many businessmen. These businessmen are regular partners with Zhuji. Wherever there are irregular ones, Ning Yi will send people from Lu Liangshan to find each other. In the second year, the golden people went south and broke through Yanmen Pass. When the border trade stopped, Qingmu Village was already violent. swelled up.
If Ning Yi did not rebel, and the Jin people did not go south again. In the winter of the 14th year of Jinghan, I am afraid that Qing Muzhai will steal a large piece of meat from the income of the border trade at Yanmen Pass, and then force the army to officially turn its face.
There is no such worry now, but the Jinren go south, seize the north of the Yellow River, and break through Bianliang. Once it begins to formally digest this place, the business between the north and the south will no longer be able to talk about smuggling, and Qingmu Village will also be closed by Yanmen Pass. The channel is completely overhead.
For more than a year, Qingmu Village has collected and collected a large amount of resources, but no matter how amazing it is, there is a limit. The two thousand cavalry from Luliang Mountain and nearly two hundred iron armored cavalry are the core of this resource. Secondly, in Qingmu Village, there is also a large amount of food hoarding. It is not a premeditated plan, but the environment in Luliangshan is not good after all. Everyone has been hungry before. Once they are rich, the first choice is to store food.
Since the development of Qingmu Village, it has taken in the nearby mountain people, refugees, and deserters from the north and south. At present, there are more than 20,000 people. If there are more than 10,000 people, it will last for about a year, which is not a big deal. However, the afterglow has also begun to appear.
Ordinary soldiers, of course, do not know. But also because of these considerations, Ning Yi chose to move the new base westward, relying on Qingmu Village to gain a firm foothold and infiltrate the site of the Western Army. Dao and Qin Siyuan sympathized with each other, Ning Yi and others thought that the other party might sell Qin Shaoqian a small face, so as not to kill them, at least until the Western Army was unable to kill them, they might not do so easily.
In the past two or three months, Ning Yi used all the storytellers who followed Zhu Ji to go to several states and counties on the site of the Western Army, and pretended to be a survivor to tell the process of the imperial court killing the king. The truth of the six states, etc., occasionally also publicizes the heroic sacrifice of the breeders. During this period of time, the Western Army did not vigorously block it, but because of the sturdy folk customs, sometimes people felt that the storyteller would beat people away for speaking ill of the court. But there are also many people who are filled with righteous indignation at the weakness of the imperial court because of their worship among the teachers.
On the other hand, Ning Yi has already started to build a preliminary business network nearby. He still has many businessmen's information on hand. Those who were originally related to Zhuji but not related, of course, no longer dare to be involved with Ning Yi, but that It doesn't matter, as long as there is a need for sex, he can always play some tricks in the middle.
As long as the site of the Western Army can give him about a year, with his business ability, it is possible to connect a network of interests of all parties in the northwest where the Tubo, Xixia, and Jin kingdoms meet. He even stretched his tentacles along Tubo and into Dali... (.)
