Chapter 568: Secret Weapons

Zhu Yong couldn’t help but be depressed when he heard this.

But Zhang Anshi then comforted him by saying, “There will be plenty of opportunities in the future, so why fight over the length of the moment.”

Zhu Yong also had to say: “Big brother, I understand! Hey …… don’t know how the fourth brother is now, he is far away in ten thousand miles, and there is no news, last year, but there is a fleet of ships to come back, but he also refused to repair a letter to.”

Zhang Anshi laughed and said, “Qiu Song is like this, if he is willing to repair a letter back, I rather think that it is fishy, if there is really a letter about him over there, then it must be that he has been kidnapped in Europe, and it is the thugs who forced him to write a letter demanding ransom.”

Zhu Yong pondered for a moment, actually felt justified, and immediately smiled sarcastically and said, “Big brother has a point, or big brother understands fourth brother the most!”

But he finally let out a long sigh of regret.

……

The next day, there is a decree out, the King of Song, the university scholar Zhang Anshi control of the army to suppress the bandits.

Zhang Anshi received the decree, while the atmosphere in the court, but could not help but become subtle.

Apparently this rebellion, while unexpected, can be called expected.

First, digging up people’s roots, and then punishing them afterward, in the opinion of a number of people, this is in their place, but also to counter.

For a group of ministers led by Yang Rong, it was not considered a good time to put down the rebellion, and they wished to hold back for the time being, certainly for the sake of the court.

But there are also quite a few people, but this is quite a bit of hope, they look forward to the rebels make more noise the better, the best court to make a compromise, and even …… pacification.

And once that happens, then the New Deal, too, can come to a screeching halt.

Fujian and Guangxi Buzhengji rebellion, in fact, is only a beginning, but the eyes of the people around the stupid, but also has long been sharpening their knives.

They have no retreat, the reason why they do not dare to rebel, only from fear, and now, all people look to Fujian and Guangxi, is to hope, this rebellion is best the more successful the better, as long as it can hold on, then …… themselves can also take the opportunity to solicit a rebel.

There was a moment of panic.

All kinds of gossip, actually began to spread in the capital.

I don’t know this secretly, in the end, who is building momentum, so much so that all kinds of bad news, all over the place.

Some said that the rebels in Fujian had taken over Fuzhou, others said that the scale had reached 100,000, and others said that people in Zhejiang and Jiangxi had also rebelled.

What’s more, it is also said that the rebels have been out of Fujian and other places, the peak of the army all the way to the north, running towards the city of Nanjing.

This kind of news, clamor, many people may not believe, but hear more, can not help but begin to panic.

Of course, it may not all be fearful, at least in many university halls, but some are beginning to sharpen their knives.

Apart from that, there are people in the Jinyiwei and the Model Battalion who are longing for something in their hearts.

This time, His Highness the King of Song was ordered to pacify the rebellion, must point to gather people, but I do not know if I can be selected, then once followed by His Highness the King of Song to pacify the rebellion, it is not possible to earn a military honor.

Over the years, with the spread of the New Deal, many people followed His Highness the King of Song to make their mark and, in an instant, changed their fate. Such a miracle had happened an unknown number of times, and naturally, there were countless descendants who aspired to be able to follow suit.

Just these years the world is generally peaceful, a few no war, can not help but teach people have a little disappointment, but now …… the time has come.

Just …… Song Wang Zhang Anshi, although he received the decree, but did not immediately point all the men and horses to set off the intention, is still calm and relaxed, the old God.

Some people went to the Song King’s residence to probe for information, and the answer they got was just, in preparation, in preparation.

…………

“Your Majesty ……”

Yilungha tiptoed around and poured tea in front of Zhu Di.

In the middle of the cultural building, Zhu Di is sitting in the middle, he dropped a zhangzhi, casually took over the tea, sipping a mouthful.

Zhu Di seems to think of something at this time, so he said, “Model battalion there, can there be any movement?”

“No movement yet.” Yiluoha, who knew Zhu Di, instantly understood what Zhu Di wanted to know the most, so he added, “Your Majesty, the King of Song, in these few days, is still in the royal residence.”

“Oh.” Zhu just faintly responded, but did not squeak again.

Also lost Ha then added: “On the contrary, Guangdong Buzhengji Division there …… heard some not peaceful, this is the jinyiwei side reported.”

Zhu Di raised his eyebrows and said, “What, there are still people who want to rebel?”

Yilungha looked at Zhu Di’s face before saying, “I heard that someone is forging weapons privately ……”

Sure enough, Zhu Di’s face went cold for a few moments and he said in a deep voice, “Why don’t you take someone?”

Yiluoha busy said: “The local government …… actually …… concealed and not reported, if not for the brocade guards side of someone to detect, I’m afraid that …… the court is still in the dark Your Majesty …… slave girl thought, there is also someone in preparation for rebellion, is …… it?”

Zhu Di inhaled a breath, and after only a little thought, he said, “Let Zhang Qing dispose of it, I use people without doubt, and suspect people without use.”

Yishakha listened and nodded.

However, although he heard Zhu Di said so, but also know, at the moment his majesty is actually anxious, after all, …… the rebellion has begun, and now only against two places, but the court if not immediately thunder attack, quickly quell the rebellion, then …… the world’s prefectures and counties, there will be countless People have the same kind of example.

And once this is the case, everywhere is a rebellion, for the court, can be a really big problem, even after spending a lot of energy to calm down the rebellion, but this loss is also unbearable.

It is important to realize that a rebellion that sweeps the world is enough to teach the Great Ming the fruits of decades of peace to be destroyed.

His Majesty hoped that Zhang Anshi would strike decisively, but he did not expect that, under such a tight schedule, Zhang Anshi actually relied on the capital and refused to leave, and it was even heard that even the manpower had not been ordered, which could not teach His Majesty to be anxious?

If it is not Zhang Anshi, deeply Zhu Di’s trust, I’m afraid that under the sky, in exchange for which one dares to do so, Zhu Di will also be slaughtered to feed the dog can not.

It’s a big deal to miss a military opportunity.

Zhu Di at this time is sighed and said: “In fact, I sometimes want, these thieves, against the good, I have half a life of military horse, not afraid of conquest, the only fear, but those enemies in the dark ……”

Yizhuoha reluctantly smiled, “It’s good to fight back, but once the military disaster starts, I’m afraid ……”

Yiluoha has not yet said further, Zhu Di will nod his head and said: “This is also what I am worried about, in any case, the world is my, ruined a place, the heartache is also me.”

As Zhu said that, he narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at a certain place, murmuring without saying anything, with a thoughtful look on his face.

……

And at this time in the Song King’s residence, it was a letter that was sent out in flames.

In fact, Zhang Anshi is loose on the outside and tight on the inside, on the surface, as if nothing is done, but inside, it is the daily agitation, always waiting for news to come.

For many days he had not slept well.

Right now, this Song Wangfu and no visitors, but Zhang Anshi know, in fact, now the whole capital, are watching him this Song Wang it.

As for the rumors outside, he has also heard a lot, to which …… he can only show indifference.

These windfalls are, in reality, meaningless when you go by preaching and debating alone.

The only thing that ever stops people in their tracks is a war report.

As long as there is a day when the war report does not come, then …… talking through the sky, there is always someone who has a myriad of reasons to teach you to be dumb.

“Your Highness, an official document has come from the Postal Department.”

Zhang San hurriedly came and delivered an official document to Zhang Anshi.

Zhang Anshi took it, took a closer look, and his face changed slightly, and then, he closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and slowly said, “Success or failure is here.”

…………

Fujian Prefecture.

Pintan Stage.

The sudden military disaster has instantly made the place panic-ridden.

Since the stagecoach was a target of the rebels, when he learned of the news, the stage manager told everyone to take shelter for a while.

Soon afterward the post was occupied by the thieves, and an old postman, taken by the rebels, had his head killed.

At this time Deng Da and Xia Xuan two people, looking for a farmhouse, hiding for a few days, fortunately this farmer is also considered real, and did not provide two people to, just from the outside to inquire about the news, but can not help but let the two people more worried.

The rebel army had grown in strength, and was now claiming 30,000 men, not only occupying many of the counties, but, it was rumored, about to lay siege to Fuzhou.

And Fuzhou city, it seems that there are also many people with the rebels secretly, and even …… there is a way to guard the official army, even also surrendered.

At this time of Pingtan, the rebels did not occupy, after looting some, then waved north, after all, this place, neither a thoroughfare, nor a military town, worthless.

Deng Da was fine, he was observing the current situation while trying to find ways to contact the stage manager.

It seems that, at this time, he was worried, the safety of the post office located in Fuzhou, and thus …… tried to find out the news of Fuzhou by all means.

Xaxuan was a different story, he had never been so frustrated.

Just here to adapt soon, although do not think that this post in the middle, there may be something great, but slowly, he is also familiar with this piece of land, more familiar with the people here, but who knows, overnight, everything has come to naught.

On the country roads, many dead bones without owners were even visible, and almost all the manors, began to enter a state of self-preservation, with some going to defect to the rebels, and others, towards the end of the day, prying about for information about their loved ones.

Xia Xuan had an indescribable apprehension, and in reality, it wasn’t as if they didn’t have a chance to escape from this place.

It is near the sea, and the land route is full of rebels, but if you travel by boat, it may not be impossible to cross the rebels’ range and go directly north.

Not to mention that there are quite a few people here, willing to offer such help.

Just ……

When he was really ready to move, Dundar was silent.

Xia Xuan then asked Deng Da, “Mr. …… doesn t want to go?”

Instead, Dundar asked him back, “You want to leave?”

Xia Xuan thought for a moment and shook his head.

Dundar said, “Why?”

Xia Xuan only pondered for a moment, truly said: “My life, muddled, this life only did a serious thing, is here for pawn. Hard work is hard work, exhaustion is also exhaustion, but after a long time, I feel …… that men in the world, living like this, is also very good. What is more, I have several disciples here, they are looking forward to reading, and …… there is also that granny in the upper Jiao Li, she is old, and back of the ear, all year round, just looking forward to his son in a foreign land to repair the book for him to come back, and every time I just need to appear outside of the village, she got the news, no matter where people, even if wrapped in the feet, will be rushed to ask if there is a book for her. rushed to, inquired whether there is her letters, I …… I ……”

Xia Xuan said and lowered her head.

Deng Da revealed a smile and said, “It’s strange to say that, clearly just delivering letters and doing errands, how come it suddenly seems to have become the hope of many people ……”

Xia Xuan said, “In any case, I don t want to go now, I want …… to wait a little longer to see.”

Dundar only pursed his lips in silence.

Two days later, however, the post master sent a man with a letter.

The two had handled so many letters, but for the first time, this one was for them.

The duo immediately lifted their spirits, in any case, at least …… the upper head finally contacted them.

After opening the epistle, the two people looked at it carefully, and then ……… both inhaled a mouthful of cool air unanimously.

After looking at each other in disbelief, Dundar said, “What do you think?”

Xia Xuan was a little hexed for a moment, so she said, “I don’t know, I’m a little scared in my heart.”

Deng Da thought about it and said, “Eat the king’s salary, be loyal to the king’s affairs, this His Highness the King of Song’s edict, what is there to be afraid of? May as well …… try it.”

Xia Xuan hesitated for a moment, then also said, “Listen to Mr. Deng.”

That evening, a haze in the sky slowly fell into the night.

That against the coast.

The lurid waves lapped against the shoals, and the clattering waters resounded endlessly.

Faintly, there were actually lights in the distance.

The light was getting closer and closer.

Immediately, dozens of boats rushed onto the beach, and dozens of men, carrying fish traps, came ashore.

This is the boat-dwelling people.

Because of the sudden chaos, so the boat-dwelling people no longer dare to help the old and the young ashore to sell fish, mostly a large group of men to go ashore in pairs, and most of the time, selected at dusk, once encountered a change, but also through the night to escape.

They were plainly bullied and had long since developed many ways to preserve themselves.

After the man carrying the fish trap had disembarked, violently, someone was heard calling out, “Is Wu Er available here?”

This statement immediately frightened many men, who were shocked and looked around.

It wasn’t until they saw that it was the duo of Deng Da and Xia Xuan coming that many of them let out a long sigh of relief.

The boat dwellers were wary of anyone, even those they traded with to buy and sell fish. Not trusting anyone is supposed to be their philosophy in the world, and anyone who doesn’t believe that is long dead.

But for Deng Da and Xia Xuan, they had an unspoken trust.

At that moment, there is a Han man quickly step forward, lowered his voice and said, “Two gentlemen, how come this time …… still come, do you not know that now is not peaceful ……”

The hanyou spoke with reproach in his voice.

This person is none other than Wu Er.

For his part, Dundar smiled up in disbelief and said, “It’s to deliver a letter to you.”

Wu Er was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously said, “The new issue of the Di Di newspaper?”

“It is indeed a diyin, only this diyin, is different.” Deng Da looked at Wu Er, and then at the other hans who had gathered around.

After a moment’s silence, he said, “Are you clear about the current situation?”

“Soldiers are in a state of chaos, who knows.”

Deng Da gave Wu Er a deep look, then said, “Do you know why there is such a rebellion?”

“This ……” Wu Er fell for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

He really couldn’t answer.

Deng Da said, “You ah …… read so many days of the Di Di newspaper, do not know?”

“And I’d like to see you, sir.”

Deng Da said, “Let me ask you, how much do you know about the new policy in the Di Di report?”

Wu Er did not hesitate to say, “Naturally know, is to build a railroad, to build a school, but also distributed to the people’s fields, and ……”

The hanzi whispered one by one, of course, the new policy in the Di Di newspaper, obviously too far away from them, as if …… it was something that happened in another world.

Deng Da said, “Wu Er, you know it well, what is the situation in Zhili now?”

“I know this one ……”

Deng Da looked at Wu Er seriously and said, “Then let me ask you, why did they rebel?”

“This ……”

Look at Wu Er hesitant look, Deng Da said: “out of this new policy, the court wants to implement a new policy in the Fujian Buzhengji, but many stolen officials, as well as the local gentry, but is greatly dissatisfied, which is the cause of this disaster.”

When Wu Er heard this, he immediately began to associate it with the contents of one of the past diaries, and frowned when he thought of what he had seen and heard during these days.

At first, when he saw what was happening in Zhili in the Di Di newspaper, he was envious in his heart.

This kind of envy was by no means called envy in the ordinary sense of the word, for to him, a boat-dweller, he was not even as good as an ordinary tenant.

Deng Da said, “I really did not expect, Fujian Buzhengji, just to prepare to promote the new policy, but now …… because of this, so favorable to the country and the people, but to abort.”

A hint of anger swept across Wu Er’s eyes, an anger that was, obviously, directed at certain people, and he tensed his face, “There’s nothing you can do about them?”

Deng Da then said, “They have wrapped up many of the people, and the official army, for a while, could not immediately go in to eliminate them; these rebels, by virtue of that, dared to rebel.”

The other boat-dwellers, however, became more and more confused the more they listened.

In a sense, the words ignorant people are not really empty words.

These people who had fished all their lives, who had never read or written, and who had no one to impart their knowledge, were in a sense originally no different from the walking dead.

They only felt confused when they heard Deng Da and Wu Er talking to each other.

Some people even became anxious, worrying that if the delay continued, today’s fish would not be sold.

Wu Er, however, scowled.

There was indignation in his heart.

This indignation, in fact, had been building up for a long time without Dundar for him.

Wu Er is willing to read and has put in the effort.

But once you start to read and write, and start to read the newspaper to learn about the world, that fire in your heart can’t be extinguished.

A person who can’t read and write can live a muddled life, just running around for two meals a day.

But a man who had read books could not resign himself to a lifetime of fishing for a living and living in such mediocrity.

After a half pause, Wu Er snapped his head up and looked at Deng Da with a strange look, saying, “Sir, didn’t you say, you want to deliver something to me? Where are the things?”
