Regarding the ending of Lu Wende in history, I remember it very clearly. In the fifth year of Xianchun, that is, in November of 1269, Lu Wende felt guilty due to the business and suffered from gangrene and retired (retired). On the 10th of the month, he died of illness in Xiangyang. Later, his younger brother Lu Wenhuan took over Xiangyang. After holding on for several years, Lu Wenhuan, who was suffering from internal and external troubles, finally opened the city and surrendered. Although Lu Wenhuan was reprimanded by Wen Tianxiang as a rebellious minister, the Lu family can be regarded as a The Southern Song Dynasty tried its best.
As the boss of the Xiangyang Military Region, although Lu Wende is inferior to Lu Wenhuan in strategy and inferior to Lu Wenxin in martial arts, his prestige is not comparable to that of Lu Wenhuan and Lu Wenxin. Even General Xia Gui, who is also from Anfeng, is slightly less powerful. It might as well be. This is why I edited the book myself. Although Lu Wende was not the one who decided the victory of the Xiangyang War, I still hope that Lu Wende can live a few more years. Whether he died of illness or in battle, it is not a good thing to lose the head coach during the war. .
"Junshi. What are the trends in other military regions?"
"Back to Your Majesty..."
"The Queen Mother has arrived." Xiao Qi suddenly came in from outside the door to report, interrupting Lu Xiufu's answer.
"Queen Mother." Before I could react, I saw Queen Mother Xie Daoqing and Quan Jiu walking in with smiles on their faces.
Xie Daoqing was in a good mood. After he came in, he said directly: "It's a great happy event for the official family."
"Queen mother, how happy you are."
Jia Sidao and others in the room quickly knelt down and said: "See the Queen Mother. See the Queen."
Quan Jiu said: "My lords, no courtesy."
Xie Daoqing didn't pay attention to the ministers. He laughed and said: "The official family. Concubine Yang is happy."
"You're happy." I muttered.
Quan Jiu explained with a smile: "The official family and the imperial doctor have just diagnosed Concubine Yang Shu and confirmed that Concubine Yang is pregnant. After hearing the news, my concubine and the Queen Mother immediately came here to tell the official family this great news."
"I have a wife." No matter how you say it, this is a great joy. No matter I am Huyan Donghai or Song Duzong Zhao Xu.
There are three types of unfilial piety. The greatest is not having an heir. This is an ancient saying among Chinese people. From the royal family and the emperor to the common people, there are no exceptions.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty. Congratulations, Your Majesty."
"Haha. Same joy." I said with a smile. "My dear friends, today's discussion is here for now. The rest of the matters will be discussed at the meeting tomorrow. Xiao Qi, you go to the Ministry of Personnel to get the information first. I will look at it tonight. .Mother. Queen. Let’s go see Concubine Shu.”
"Okay. Okay." Xie Daoqing agreed.
Among the people in the room, Xie Daoqing was undoubtedly the happiest. He finally had a daughter. This was not only the joy of the Zhao family, but also involved the successor of the Song Dynasty.
In the afternoon of the next day, I summoned the descendants of Yue Fei who came to report to the Ministry of Civil Affairs in the Yanhe Hall of the palace. These Yue family members are the descendants of Yue Fei's eldest son Yue Yun. The leader is in his early thirties. His name is Yue Fang. It looks like It's quite spirited.
What disappoints me is that none of them are proficient in martial arts or have practiced the art of war. It is only because of the reward I bestowed upon Yue Fei that they came here to express my gratitude to me as the emperor. For being an official, these Yue Fei Later generations don't seem to have much interest.
Yue Fangdao: "Your Majesty, my ancestor Yue Feigong died at Fengbo Pavilion. My great-grandmother once said that no descendants of my Yue family are allowed to practice martial arts. It is best to be ordinary people. Therefore, most descendants of my Yue family are willing to be ordinary. .This is the teaching of our ancestors. Please forgive me, Your Majesty. The common people are naturally incapable of going into battle to kill the enemy."
I nodded: "It doesn't matter." This is completely consistent with history. Although a few of Yue Fei's descendants are engaged in politics, none of them are martial arts.
Yue Fang continued: "Although the common people are unable to go into battle to kill the enemy, they have brought two friends who are highly skilled in martial arts. They are willing to contribute to the emperor and have the ability to go into battle to kill the enemy."
"Really? Who."
"Your Majesty, the common people will introduce you to your Majesty." Yue Fang pointed to the two people standing behind him. "The elder is Hu Yande and the other is Han Jing."
"The common people call Yande, and the common people Han Jing have met the emperor."
"No courtesy." I looked at these two generals and said with a smile.
Through Yue Fang's introduction, I learned that Hu Yande is in his thirties. He is a descendant of Hu Yanzan, a famous general in the early Song Dynasty. He is good at using two whips and has the courage of ten thousand people. He once served as a staff officer of the Jinghu Policy Department. Hu Yande He was an upright person. He couldn't stand the Lu family's monopoly on power in the Jinghu Army, so he had always been unsuccessful in the army. A few years ago, his boss Lu Wenyuan withheld military rations. Hu Yande found out and beat him up. He came to deal with the matter. It was Lu Wenyuan's cousin Lu Wenxin. After learning the whole story, Lu Wenxin expelled Lu Wenyuan from the military camp. However, because Lu Wenyuan was from the Lu family, Lu Wenxin also ordered Hu Yande to apologize. In this way, the Lu family could step down. At that time, Hu Yande was young and energetic, so how could he understand Lu Wenxin's good intentions. The two of them had disagreements and both were impatient people, so they actually got into a fight. This is also in line with the old saying: Without fighting, there is no acquaintance. Although Lu Wenxin admired Hu Yande very much, it didn't take long for Hu Yande to return to Lin'an in the name of Ding You. He is currently working at home.
Another young man named Han Jing was handsome. He was about twenty-two or three years old. He was a descendant of Han Shizhong, one of the four famous generals in the early Southern Song Dynasty. However, Han Jing gave up his sword and picked up a gun. And he had two guns. Han Jing has been fond of martial arts since he was a child. He was taught marksmanship by his descendants, Lu Wenlong, who had obtained the double spears. He was very skilled in martial arts and called himself the Little Overlord of the Double Spears. After he became a master of martial arts, he often went out to compete with others. As a result, his reputation in Lin'an did not spread.
Both of them had good relations with the descendants of the Yue family. They were also quite happy that Yue Fei was named the "Martial Saint Emperor", so they followed Yue Fang and others to the Ministry of Personnel.
I know that Lu Wenxin's martial arts is extremely high, but Hu Yande can actually fight with him. He must be very good at martial arts. I quickly asked: "Hu Yande, how did you win in the battle with Lu Wenxin that day?"
Hu Yande said: "On that day there was only rough fighting. We all fought with bare hands. We fought for more than thirty rounds. There was no winner or loser."
"Hu Yande, Han Jing. Are you willing to join the army and serve our country?"
"The people are willing."
I said excitedly: "Okay. I'm going to test your martial arts first. You two, come with me to the martial arts training hall. Yue Fang. If you are interested, come too."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The martial arts training hall in the palace is very large. Even with the addition of Hu Yande, Han Jing and others, it is not crowded at all.
After I sat down, I said to Yuan Ji: "Sir, come here."
"Okay." Yuan Ji said with a slight smile. "Both of you, you are both generals on horseback. But we can only fight on foot here, which is not good for you. Let's do it. You go together. Use whatever tricks you have."
Hu Yande, Han Jing didn't know Yuan Ji. Seeing that this man was not amazing in appearance and so arrogant, his face showed anger. However, due to my presence, he didn't dare to get angry. They just "hum" He made a sound and started fighting with Yuan Ji.
The fight was not over. Yuan Ji said: "You two, there are weapons on the weapons rack. You can choose as you like."
Hu Yande and Han Jing were both experts. Although they only had a few moves against Yuan Ji, they already knew that the other party's martial arts was extraordinary and far better than their own. This was something they had seen in their lives. They no longer hesitated at that moment. They each took their weapons from the rack. Take off the weapons. The weapons in the martial arts training hall in the palace are fully equipped. Although they are not as suitable as the two people's usual weapons, they are all high-quality weapons.
With two whips and two spears in hand, the two of them suddenly felt confident. Although there was no war horse astride them, their momentum was not inferior to that of Yuan Ji who was bare-handed.
Yuan Ji waved his palms, sometimes fast and sometimes slowly, and he shuttled easily between the two weapons. After a few more moves, the two started fighting. Seeing that Yuan Ji was still able to do it with ease and with a calm demeanor, he no longer cared about his opponent. The Heshu people also accelerated their attack speed. In coordination with their whips and spears, they all struck at Yuan Ji.
"Okay." Yuan Ji shouted and also increased his speed.
In an instant, I saw the brilliance of whips and spears on the field, tightly surrounding Yuan Ji. Although my martial arts have also improved greatly, I still can't tell who has the advantage.
After a while, I saw Hu Yande and Han Jing's double whips facing the double spears. Yuan Ji stood aside with a smile. This time I saw clearly. The double whips in Hu Yande's hands were struck by Yuan Ji's palm. It was pulled, and its trajectory was inexplicably deviated, and it collided with Han Jing's two guns. You know, the effort of this moment was enough for Yuan Ji to easily hit the two of them.
"This gentleman is good at martial arts. We are far inferior to him." Hu Yande and Han Jing said with conviction at the same time as they took back their weapons.
Yuan Ji smiled and said: "If I were on a horse, I wouldn't be so relaxed."
I saw that Hu Yande and Han Jing were both discouraged and discouraged. I said: "You two, I would like to introduce to you. This is my martial arts professor. Mr. Yuan Ji Yuan from the Valley of the Kings. Mr. Yuan is our imperial The number one master. It’s no big deal if you lose to him.”
"The Valley of the Kings. The holy land of martial arts." Although the two of them rarely interacted with people in the martial arts world, they knew the name of the Valley of the Kings.
After hearing this, Hu Yande laughed loudly and said: "No injustice. No injustice. Hu Yanzan, the ancestor of the grassroots, once passed down this saying. He accompanied Emperor Taizu to the Valley of the Kings. The martial arts of the people in the valley are the real martial arts. Even with the power of our ancestors' double whips, we feel inferior."
"Sir, please tell me how good their martial arts skills are."
Yuan Ji said: "Your Majesty, I have said that there is a difference between fighting on horseback and fighting on horseback. If the two of them mount their horses, their fighting power will immediately rise to a higher level. I don't know how good their riding skills are, so I can only Based on the confrontation between Chen and General Zhao Huai and Zhao Bao, we can make an inference: Hu Yande and Han Jing's martial arts are not inferior to Lu Wenxin and Zhao Huai. In comparison, the two are younger. In a few years, it is entirely possible that they will surpass them. The only shortcoming of the sword god and gun god in my court is that their murderous aura is slightly insufficient. As generals on horseback, this needs to be experienced in thousands of armies."
"Okay. Very good. He is on par with Lu Wenxin and Zhao Bao. He is fully qualified to serve as a general in our court. You two, do you have any research on the art of war, strategy, and marching formations?"
