When Guo Ning gathered people at the Xijunhe camp, Li Yun followed his brother Li Ting and brought more than 20 fierce men to seek refuge. Their first serious battle was to rescue the old Fuzhou soldiers who were entrenched in Guchengdian.
Han Renqing et al.
Han Renqing was Guo Ning's good friend and had fought side by side many times. Han Renqing's two children were Li Yun's playmates. However, Li Yun and others rushed to the rescue at full speed, but they were still a step too late. Everyone in Han Renqing's family died. He
His son Han Lai'er was chopped into two pieces by the pursuers of Tiewa Ganzhan Army before Li Yun's eyes. The man who led the pursuers at that time was the man in front of him.
Yang An'er's nephew, Yang You, the ninth king of the Red Coat Army.
At that time, Yang You's soldiers were very impressive and went on a rampage. After Li Ting and Li Yun led their troops to attack the Gucheng Store, they were beaten and fled in panic. Fortunately, Guo Ning laid an ambush and turned defeat into victory.
Today, Yang An'er's power has disappeared for a long time. He himself died in the battle to attack Nanjing, and his tribe was torn apart. The remnants of the Red Coat Army that still control several military states on the east and west roads of Shandong are more like some kind of indifference to the world.
Local forces were regarded as the barrier between Zhongdu and Nanjing.
As Ding Haijun's power continued to expand, Li Yun had not thought of this group of rebels for a long time.
After the Red Coat Army was defeated by Guo Ning, some of them did flee to the Song Dynasty in the Southern Dynasty. For example, there were a considerable number of remnants of the Red Coat Army stationed in the area from Chuzhou to Yangzhou, and the imperial court also specially approved an army ration of 15,000 shi per year.
Quantity. When the Dinghai navy in Shandong territory pretended to go south, the remnants of this red-coated army were specially mobilized to prepare for the enemy, but in the end they failed to fight.
These people who surrendered to the Song Dynasty from foreign countries, especially the Jin Kingdom in the north, had a special name in the Song Dynasty, called "reformers". Generally speaking, the Song Dynasty treated the scholars among the reformers very favorably, and did not hesitate to give them gifts.
However, most of the strong men among the returned people were left in the border areas as soldiers. This is also in line with the Song Dynasty's tradition of northerners running the army and southerners running politics.
But Li Yunshi never thought that he would be able to meet Yang You when he was traveling in Lin'an; he never thought that the fierce general of the Red Coat Army would now be reduced to a role in the Song Dynasty that was similar to cockfighting and dogfighting, risking his life to be driven by others.
After all, Yang You's talents are more than enough to lead thousands of troops, so why did he become a mere man?
Could it be that the Song Dynasty’s army was so full of talented people?
No matter how you think about it, it won't happen.
Although Ding Haijun has never fought against the Song Dynasty, for decades, no one in the Jin Kingdom has paid attention to the military force of the Song Dynasty. This is certainly a kind of arrogance, but it is not necessarily without reason. Some things should not be taken seriously.
It was only after fighting that we found out that there were many experienced generals in the Ding Navy. They could infer a lot of things by asking a few words about the training, garrisoning and even armament situation of the Song army from merchants traveling from north to south.
Or is this the Song Dynasty's war against the Red Coat Army, splitting it up and suppressing it?
When the Red Coat Army was at its peak, it claimed to be in Shandong and had hundreds of thousands of soldiers. However, the number of troops they went south to enter the Song Dynasty was far less than this number. Li Yun estimated that the army had at most more than 10,000 people, even if they were kidnapped along the way.
A group of refugees will not exceed 30,000, and most of them are distributed along the Jiangbei Canal.
Among the people who went south, there were even fewer prominent leaders. In Li Yun's impression, there were only Yang Miaozhen, Liu Quan, Guo Yao'er and others, while Yang You had no effective helpers along the way.
What did the Red Coat Army do with such a weak force that made the Song Dynasty court so afraid that they suppressed them to such an extent that they were almost humiliating?
This shouldn’t be the case either…
In any case, this is something worth exploring. Maybe we can find some places that can be exploited, who knows.
Now that I'm here, it's just a good time to go with the flow.
Jia Sidao's thoughts were racing, he clapped his hands repeatedly, and praised loudly like others: "Good! What a great skill!"
After shouting a few words, he looked behind him again, but all he saw was a crowd of people, and he couldn't help but frown.
Han Xi hurriedly waved, called a tea doctor, and gave a few instructions in a low voice. In the blink of an eye, Jia Sidao's two companions squeezed into the front row from the back with sweat on their heads and faces.
"This man with a knife...has great skills! I want to place a bet on him to win!"
Han Xi brought Jia Sidao here just because he hoped that Jia Sidao would like this exciting and passionate fight and invest some money in it. He said happily: "Brother Xian Xian, how much pressure can you give? This place is not for just ordinary people in the market.
, one bet will get ten points!"
"Ten guans?" Jia Sidao laughed loudly: "I, Jia Shixian, am here on the rooftop, what do ten guans count? If you beat this man with a knife with three hundred guans in cash, you will always win!"
The two companions beside him hesitated for a long time, and then took out the money from their arms. Three hundred guan of cash was so heavy that it was impossible to carry it with them, so the two of them took out the newly issued Xingzaihuizi from the previous issue.
The denominations of Huizi are divided into one-guan, two-guan and three-guan. There are also two people who have made up their minds, and they are waiting to find out the equivalent value of three hundred copper coins in Huizi.
In the past few years, Xingzai Huizi has issued six issues in a row, and the currency value has fluctuated drastically. The two of them counted while whispering: "According to yesterday's exchange ratio, now we have to count one thousand four hundred and three."
Sixteen chapters and seven hundred essays."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jia Sidao waved his hand: "What's there to calculate? Just use Sanguan Huizi and get five hundred cards!"
"Yes, yes."
After a while, the advocate in the tile heard that a wealthy guest had come, and he did not dare to neglect it. An old advocate personally brought a helper, and several people went around to flatter him in front of Jia Sidao. Finally, he used a large black lacquer plate to hold it.
Hundreds of tickets were spent.
The two companions looked reluctant to leave and subconsciously followed the tray for several steps before being called back by Jia Sidao.
These two people are both capable people in the left and right departments of Zhongdu. They have traveled around with Li Lang in the past few years and have experienced extraordinary things. Even so, they are almost numb to paying for money these days.
I have never experienced such large expenditures.
I don’t know how Jia She is in Zhongdu at the moment. If he knew that Jia Sidao was like this, would he immediately go south and vow to eradicate this traitor?
Three hundred guan of copper coins is really not a small amount. A good horse does not cost more than this price, and a night spent with the famous oiran on the West Lake Painted Boat only costs 10 guan.
Jia Sidao spent a lot of money, which immediately caused many people in Wazi to whisper: "Who is this guy?"
"Han Xiaolangjun brought it here. He seems to be quite wealthy?"
"Ask him who he is!"
"No need to ask, this is Jia Sidao who has been spending money like water in Lin'an recently!"
"A mere son of a county magistrate dares to shout here? He has three hundred strings in his hand and is he so arrogant?"
"His father, Jia She, is not an ordinary county magistrate. In this tile, there are several businesses from along the canal to Sizhouchang, all of which rely on Jia She to run back and forth to take care of him! He may have millions of dollars in money!
"
The person who spoke before was suddenly in awe: "Oh? No wonder this guy is rich, he is a fellow member of ours."
A stack of guizi was respectfully carried to the edge of the earth field, where several people sat on the big stage. Many people followed the trend and placed bets, or insisted on betting on the other end, hoping to earn the three hundred guan.
Suddenly, the surrounding area became more and more chaotic.
Yang You held his knife and stood on the edge of the dirt field, looking up with a sneer and looking at the scene.
The Song Dynasty in the Southern Dynasties was full of such pig-like people. I really don’t know how they managed to accumulate such a huge wealth! Fortunately, on this trip, I joined the family of the eldest son of Prime Minister Shi. Although it was a bit humiliating in front of me, I will definitely be determined in the future.
I can achieve great success. Until then, watch me trample all these wastes under my feet and squeeze out the oil!
