Chapter 975 0970 [There should be no bangu in the shogunate, sooner or later Yàn will be born
Ode]
Hong Mai, the author of the Southern Song Dynasty fantasy novel "Yi Jian Zhi", has just turned seventeen this year.
The Hong family in Poyang where he belonged was disbanded and relocated by Wei Liangchen a few years ago. The family's land was also sold to the government at very low prices and distributed to the lower class farmers. Therefore, Hong Mai was extremely dissatisfied with the Ming Dynasty.
Dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction, but there is still a future.
He graduated from Nanchang Fuxue with honors and could be directly recommended to Luoyang Taixue to study. Of course, he could also choose to stay in Jiangxi and take the imperial examination slowly.
When Hong Mai was just a few years old, his father was sent by Zhao Huan to join forces with the Jin Dynasty. As a result, he was detained in Hebei by the Jin Kingdom and forced to serve as an official in the small court of the puppet Song Dynasty.
When the news spread to the south, people said that his father had become a lackey of the Jin people.
When the Ming Dynasty regained Hebei, Hong Mai's father also returned to the south. He was proven not guilty of evil and was given the position of county magistrate. However, rumors continued, making the Hong Mai brothers unable to hold their heads high.
Hong Mai was only ten years old at the time, and his clothes were stained with oil while eating. He was so moved that he wrote a poem: "A little bit of oil stains the white clothes, and the spots are mottled, which makes people suspicious. Even if you wash through thousands of rivers, it will still look like it was not dirty at the beginning?"
"
Definitely a talented person.
"Sanlang, you can board the official ship!" the book boy shouted.
There are two official ships in Dantu (Zhenjiang) port, which will soon transport official items northward.
Students like Hong Mai who are admitted to Taipei University can take the official ship for free along the way, and there are also free places for two followers.
After showing the document issued by Jiangxi's academic envoy, the Cao army on the dock took a look at it and took Hong Mai's master and servant aboard with great enthusiasm.
Another young man with a long sword on his waist came running towards him with the book boy.
The young man took out the document and said: "Lu You, a scholar from Yuezhou, went to Luoyang to study at the Imperial Academy."
"Please, Mr. Cao," the Cao sergeant greeted with a smile.
Lu You and Hong Mai were arranged in the same cabin. They exchanged names and backgrounds, and their respective entourages helped make the beds.
After all, they are both young people, and after a few words of greeting, they became familiar with each other.
Hong Mai smiled and said: "When did Wu Guan become enlightened? At the age of fifteen, he was able to study in Imperial College."
Lu You said: "I started to learn to read at the age of three, and I should be officially enlightened at the age of five."
"Hangzhou Phoenix Academy is famous all over the south of the Yangtze River, and Wu Guan's elder is also the president of the academy. Why not stay at Phoenix Academy and continue studying?" Hong Mai was quite envious.
"Let's go and experience the scenery of the two capitals." Lu You said with a smile.
The official ship set sail, and the two met on the deck to enjoy the scenery on both sides of the canal.
At first we were still talking about knowledge, but gradually we talked about the battle to conquer Xixia.
Lu You took out his poem as if he was offering a treasure: There is something going on this year, and the general accepted the imperial edict and sent out the entire army. The eight-foot horses were strewn with fine gold, and the five-foot flag was brightly embroidered. The flying fox in the valley passed the order, and the Xiaoguan piled up stones to line up the city. There should be no bangu in the shogunate.
, morning and evening Yan Ran carved poems.
After hearing this, Hong Mai laughed loudly: "Wuguan is comparing himself to Ban Gu, and he still wants to go out with the army, so he can restrain Shi Yanran."
Lu You not only compared himself to Ban Gu in his poem, but also complained that the expedition to Xixia was too early and he did not bring himself as a military staff officer, otherwise Mobei would be taken back sooner or later.
"I also practice martial arts." Lu You patted the sword on his waist.
Hong Mai only thought Lu You was bragging and regarded the sword as a decoration.
The two ate and lived together on the boat. They were both talented people and got along well with each other, and their friendship became deeper and deeper.
These two official ships stopped when they arrived in Kaifeng.
They need to change ships in Kaifeng, but fortunately there are many official ships here, and some are sent to Luoyang every day.
After changing boats, there were two more people in the cabin.
One is Wang Yan, a native of Xiangzhou, who is twenty-seven years old this year and is a child of a family of military generals. At a young age, he has been admitted to the Juren Examination, but he signed up to go to the military academy.
One was Wang Lianqing, a native of Ruyin, the same age as Lu You, who also went to Luoyang to study at Imperial College.
Hong Mai heard that Wang Yan had a reputation as a civil servant, and couldn't help asking: "Brother Gongming is a civil servant, why do you want to study martial arts?"
Wang Yan smiled heartily and said: "What if you are a scholar and a marquis of ten thousand households?"
Lu You greatly appreciated this: "Brother Gongming is very generous and a good man. If my elders hadn't stopped me, I would have gone to the military academy."
Wang Yan said: "I see you are wearing a long sword on your waist. Have you practiced martial arts?"
"I have practiced some minor moves." Lu You told the truth.
Destiny is so magical, a close friend from another time and space becomes like an old friend at first sight in this time and space.
Historically, Wang Yan served as deputy prime minister and privy envoy of the Southern Song Dynasty, but the "History of the Song Dynasty" records about him are very secretive. When Lu You served as Wang Yan's staff, he wrote more than 100 military poems, but they were destroyed.
The remaining twelve songs are not related to Wang Yan.
The reason is very simple. Wang Yan and Yu Yunwen have conflicts and have reached the point where they are at odds with each other.
At that time, Wang Yan served as the pacifier of Sichuan and first recruited southerners to form an army. Lu You served as a staff officer and trained with the soldiers. He soon discovered in actual combat that this army was flawed.
Therefore, at Lu You's suggestion, Wang Yan recruited northerners as soldiers. Not only the northern Han people, but also Jurchen, Uighur, Dangxiang and other soldiers of various ethnic groups, named the "Yi Sheng Army", practiced the Yi Sheng Spear (three-edged armor-piercing spear).
gun), and made many military exploits after forming an army.
During this period, Lu You also followed the training and even led 30 people to kill the tiger himself. The tiger suddenly appeared and the soldiers were frightened. Lu You raised his gun and gave it a shot.
Kill the tiger general Lu You!
Just when everything was on track, Wang Yan was suddenly transferred back to the court for promotion, and then demoted to the post of magistrate. Wang Yan refused to take up his post claiming to be ill, and was directly thrown into managing a Taoist temple. He died in depression a few years later.
The Yi Sheng Army was run by Wang Yan, and Yu Yunwen, who was succeeded, picked peaches.
Wang Yan's staff, including Lu You, were also disbanded.
Historical figures are all very complicated, even the strange man Yu Yunwen is no exception.
Especially in his later years, when Yu Yunwen was in a high position and gained both fame and fortune, he gradually became willful and self-willed.
"History of the Song Dynasty" describes this very vaguely, and only points out Yu Yunwen's "missing taboo" in "Xue Ji's Propaganda".
What is "taboo loss"?
He just doesn't listen to advice and is afraid of his own mistakes.
In "Shui Tiao Ge Tou: I Drink Without Persuasion", Xin Qiji also wrote a very subtle "Sigh on the Revitalization of the Family". It can be basically inferred that Yu Yunwen defeated Wang Yan through factional struggle.
…
"You are all from the south, so I'm afraid you don't know the good news from the front line," Wang Yan said enthusiastically, "Several armies have been fighting in succession, and I heard that they are about to reach Xingqing Mansion, the capital of Xixia!"
Lu You was overjoyed: "Really?"
Wang Yan said: "It's true. I was also inspired by the good news, so I made up my mind to abandon literature and join the military. Although I, the Ming Dynasty, will destroy Xixia, Mobei is not yet settled, and the Western Region is not at peace. Sooner or later, I will be able to lead troops to go to war.
.”
Hong Mai teased: "Xixia is about to fall, and it seems that there is no need for your contemporary Ban Gu."
But Lu You said: "When Brother Gongming leads the army to go to war, I will serve as his staff and take charge of various matters in the army."
"Welcome," Wang Yan said happily, "When the time comes, I will be the general in charge of the army, and you will be the military staff officer, and we will fight all the way to the far west."
Wang Lianqing, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "I will draw a triumphal picture for you."
Wang Lianqing's father is a great painter, and he is also good at painting.
The four of them chatted happily. When the official ship docked in Heyin County, they even got off the ship to buy food and wine.
"Great victory, great victory!"
"Hundreds of thousands of troops besieged the city. The leader of the Xixia Kingdom, Li Renxiao, led hundreds of officials out of the city and surrendered!"
"Xixia is destroyed, Xixia is destroyed!"
"..."
The four people on the boat were drinking when they suddenly heard cheers and cheers on the shore. They quickly went out to find out what happened.
I met an officer of the Cao Army on the deck, and he said to everyone with a smile: "Just as soon as the Lubu came, Xixia has been destroyed. The leader of the Xixia Kingdom and all the civil and military officials all came out of the city and knelt down. Our soldiers captured Xingqing Mansion without a single blow."
"
Wang Yan shouted: "Let's go drink and celebrate!"
"Drink together, drink together!"
"Go and buy two more jars of wine. I won't stop getting drunk today."
The four young men were overjoyed and drunkenly in the cabin.
In every county they passed through next, the people inside and outside the city were overjoyed, even happier than when the gold was destroyed.
In this time and space, there was no humiliation of Jingkang, the extent of the ravages in the north was limited, and the Liao and Song Dynasties had been at peace for decades. Therefore, people had no feelings about the fall of the Liao and Jin Dynasties. Instead, the Xixia Dynasty was always at war, which made the northern officials and people hate it very much. Once a war broke out
Countless recruits were recruited.
Now that Xixia is destroyed, there will be no need to recruit civilians on a large scale from now on. How could the people not be happy?
Two days later, the four of them disembarked in Luoyang, and the excitement had not yet passed.
Many shops inside and outside Luoyang took the opportunity to put up discount signs, and people talked enthusiastically about the frontline achievements.
Wang Yan stopped a passerby and asked: "Which restaurant in Luoyang is the best?"
The passerby replied: "There is a Balu Tower, which was just expanded two years ago and has five floors."
"The wine garden is as good as Shuping's shop, and there is a barou in Luozhong." This is a popular folk proverb in Kaifeng in the Northern Song Dynasty, which somewhat reveals the ridicule and contempt of Luoyang people in Kaifeng.
Now that the Ming Dynasty moved its capital to Luoyang, several wealthy Luoyang businessmen opened a restaurant together and directly named it "Youbalou" to mock the people of Kaifeng.
Wang Yan invited guests and took everyone to have a drink.
Wang Lianqing looked at the silver bowls of the diners in the lobby on the ground floor and couldn't help but said: "The food and wine in this building must be expensive. We are all poor scholars, so we can just eat on the first floor."
Of the poor poor scholars, three came from a family of officials and one from a family of military generals.
"Okay." Wang Yan didn't care.
Before the four of them could sit down, they saw a diner standing there, telling an eloquent story:
"But I heard a Xixia thief general shout: Grandpa is the nephew of the Xixia Taiwei, who dares to have a fight with me?"
"How can I, a general of the Ming Dynasty, tolerate someone calling himself grandpa? Immediately, a young general rode out from the Ming army's formation. But who do you think that young general is?"
The diners around him shook their heads, and some urged him to go on.
The diner continued: "This young general of the Ming Dynasty is called Wang Jun, and he is called Wang Kaishan in the army. He is a brave general under the command of General Wu Xianggong. But when he saw Wang Kaishan galloping out on horseback, he shouted loudly, which scared the Xixia thieves to the point of splitting their livers and gallbladders...
…”
After listening to the made-up story, Lu You asked: "Who knows this Wang Kaishan?"
Wang Yan shook his head: "My brother is also commanding troops in the army, but I haven't heard him talk about it. I think he is a fierce general in another army."
In fact, these stories were all brought back by merchants, especially the merchants who came back from the Hexi Corridor. As a result, the generals under Wu Jie became the most famous.
On the contrary, Han Shizhong and Yue Fei's road was farthest from the border of Ming Dynasty, and their deeds had not yet spread.
He started talking again, and Lu You listened attentively. The more he listened, the more excited he became. He wished he could transfer from Imperial College to a military academy.
