Chapter 243 The Yellow Robe
Yang Xingyun beat Tachaer up this time and seized a large number of horses and livestock, which made him in a good mood. However, he poured cold water on Yang Xingyun and told him not to take it lightly, because the Mongolian army was still strong and they were determined to destroy our Shenwei Army, so we must be careful and strengthen our defense.
The next day, Zhao Yulin went to the Zhejiang-Sichuan Navy camp, only to see Cao Cao returning exhausted.
When Lao Cao saw him, he sighed deeply and said with emotion that life would be difficult without a monarch and the people would suffer again.
Zhao Yulin could well imagine that the mentality of these ministers, who were deeply influenced by loyalty to the emperor and the country, was similar to that of their parents who had died. Fortunately, Lao Cao had interacted with him a lot over the years and accepted a lot of new concepts and ideas from the Shenwei Army. Otherwise, when he heard that the emperor had been abducted, he would have immediately become furious, his blood would have surged, and he might even have vomited blood and died.
He asked to take a boat to Hanzhong.
The two drank and chatted in the cabin.
Lao Cao told him that Lord Meng had not returned to Ezhou, and he had to go to Huangzhou to see Lord Meng, looking very depressed. The court officials scattered among the people in Jiangdong gathered again in the ruined Lin'an, eager to support the royal descendants to establish a small court. General Meng was sent out of the country by the Jiangdong forces, and the world was afraid that it would be in chaos.
Zhao Yulin said that the world had been in chaos for a long time, so what was there to be afraid of? It was just the beginning of a period of feudal separatism. Earlier, including Mongolia, the Jin Dynasty, the Song Dynasty and Dali, it was a period of feudal separatism.
Our Shenwei Army must overthrow all these evil forces and establish a new society of fairness, justice and the rule of law.
Lao Cao immediately looked at him with wide eyes and asked him if he also wanted to establish a small court?
He had heard in Huangzhou that the emperor had made his brother the King of Han and had married the emperor's daughter Zhao Feiyan, who had been living among the people, to his brother. However, he did not see the imperial edict because of the war.
Zhao Yulin smiled and shook his head, saying that he was not interested. If we really want to build one, we should build a big court, a court for the whole world. He has not thought about this matter yet. The urgent thing now is to control the four routes of Sichuan and Shu.
Zhao Yulin suggested to Lao Cao that he go to Chengdu and send troops to stabilize Kuizhou Road and Zizhou Road. This is the basic base of our Shenwei Army, and we must not allow those who have ulterior motives to secede and establish themselves as kings.
Lao Cao knew that Zhao Yulin had great ambitions, but he had never thought of taking charge of the country himself. Even when the boat arrived at Nanzheng Wharf, Lao Cao had not made up his mind and had to go back to think it over carefully.
Zhao Yulin was in no hurry to urge him, so he said goodbye and went back home.
When I entered the room, I found that Chen Zhongshun and his concubine were still living there.
The old man smiled and said that his mother was vomiting and he needed to rest. His drinking buddies in Nanzheng asked him to stay to learn winemaking techniques. Hehe, if the court had delayed a few more days, it would have been finished.
Now he felt more at ease, no longer worried that anyone would murder his good son-in-law.
After the old man finished speaking, he laughed happily, haha, hahaha.
Zhao Yulin was speechless. He completely understood Chen Zhongshun's feelings. As long as Chen Zhongshun was alive and well, the old man would feel at ease.
Zhao Yulin rested for a night, and after lunch he took Xiao Yan to have tea with his second brother Zhao Yujiang.
He told his second brother that even without the imperial court and the emperor, the common people still had to live their lives. He asked the newspaper to reprint the Shenwei Army's ideas about the new society for everyone to see, to promote equality for all and social justice, and to guide people to look forward to a better future.
Over the years, his brother had heard and seen the development and changes of the Shenwei Army, and his thoughts had been closely following the changes. Naturally, he understood what he meant and agreed immediately.
Zhao Yu told him that the society was now undergoing a period of great change, and the common people, who had been deeply bound by Confucianism and feudal ethics for thousands of years, needed to wake up and required persistent propaganda and education.
This is inseparable from the academy and the newspaper. Just use the actions of the Shenwei Army to present facts and reason. I believe that the people have a scale in their hearts and will understand clearly.
Zhao Yujiang listened and nodded repeatedly.
Apart from anything else, the fact that the students who graduated from Nanzheng Academy in the past two years have grown into pillars of society fully demonstrates the superiority of the Shenwei military strategy.
Zhao Yujiang asked him to go and talk to the students, and Zhao Yulin readily agreed. Soon the auditorium of the academy was filled with students.
Zhao Yulin picked up the copper loudspeaker and started speaking.
He said that the emperor was gone, but we still had to eat, wear clothes and sleep, and we still had to live our lives. Thousands of years of history have proved that the emperors of Qin, Han, Tang, and Song changed from generation to generation, but it was not the emperor who protected the country and let the people live a good life, but the millions of ordinary people, including you.
Now that the emperor and the court are gone, we can build a new society without exploitation, oppression, fairness and justice.
Before Zhao Yulin finished speaking, the students in the auditorium had already started discussing. Most of them supported Zhao Yulin's point of view. After all, they were receiving a new education in a new society with new ideas.
But some people still believe that this is Zhao Yulin's plan to split the land and become king, and put on the yellow robe.
This is a great act of treason.
He didn't care how these students discussed, he just wanted them to argue and debate, because the truth would become clearer through debate.
Zhao Yulin went back and saw the Fire Phoenix coming back.
Just after sitting down for a while, the woman ran to the toilet and vomited non-stop. He and Xiao Yan patted her back, brought her water and towels, and served her up and down.
Fenghuang said with a hint of worry that the baby came at a really bad time, as he had to join in the fun when there were so many things to do.
Only then did he realize that Fenghuang was pregnant again.
Zhao Yulin helped the woman to the inner room to rest, and said happily, "This is our baby, what is meant to come will eventually come."
Fenghuang pulled him to sit down beside the bed and told him that Bao Wenli's concubine had accused her husband of corruption, which had been verified, and Master Lu asked her to go back and deal with it.
Zhao Yulin was stunned after hearing this.
That year he was recuperating in Zhenwu Mountain, and after that he was invited to visit Xindu Town. When he talked about corruption, he was a little worried when he heard Bao Wenli's hesitant answer. Now his guess has been confirmed.
He didn't say a word and dozed off with Phoenix in his arms.
Bao Wenli and Fenghuang were from the same village and were as close as siblings. Zhao Yulin certainly knew how upset she felt.
The woman rested for a while and then said to him: Several sisters are breastfeeding their babies and cannot accompany him, so she asked him to take Xiao Yan in so that she can have someone to take care of her in life.
Fenghuang also played the sympathy card for Xiao Yan, saying that the little girl's father had been abducted and her mother didn't know whether she was dead or alive, so she was very pitiful.
Zhao Yulin said that everyone was concerned about her, and told Fenghuang not to worry so much because she was pregnant.
Zhao Yulin came out and saw Xiao Yan standing outside the door. He smiled and said that the whole family treated her as one of their own and she didn't need to be so reserved.
The little girl's face became redder and redder.
He asked, now that Eunuch Luo is gone, are you still practicing martial arts?
Xiao Yan bit her lip and nodded.
Zhao Yulin said that now that we have come to this point, there are still many people who want to kill us. We must practice Kung Fu diligently and learn to protect ourselves, as we still have a long way to go in the future.
He told Xiao Yan to go do her own thing and asked Feihu to open the study door to write something.
After Hubili won a great victory, the Mongolian army in Jiangdong immediately returned north quickly with the captives loaded with gold and silver, and held a simple ceremony to present the captives in Yingtian Prefecture.
This time, the eldest prince was in charge of Shandong during the southward expedition, Hubli was in charge of the overall operation, and the Prince of Lu cooperated unconditionally. The entire operation went very smoothly.
Hubili had bribed a deputy general of the Song army navy in Hangzhou Bay in advance. When his army entered Lin'an and the emperor boarded the ship to go to sea as planned, the deputy general suddenly attacked. The cannonballs from three large ships fired at the emperor's treasure ship, which immediately frightened the emperor to faint. He hurriedly abandoned the ship and went ashore as a prisoner.
However, this deputy general also made contributions to the Song Dynasty. Although he blocked the emperor and made him a prisoner of the Mongolian army, while firing at the emperor's fleet, he also bombarded the large ships carrying gold, silver and imperial seals nearby.
As a result, these large ships must have sunk. The Mongolian army stayed in Hangzhou Bay for two days to salvage them, but only got a small amount of gold and silver, but there was no trace of the imperial seal.
Seeing that troops from all over the country were about to arrive to support the king, Hubli had to give up the salvage and leave in a hurry.
Therefore, this deputy general did make great contributions in protecting the imperial seal from being taken away by foreign enemies and leaving the national treasure for the Central Plains dynasty.
The fate of the captives was tragic. Not to mention that they were whipped and forced to travel like animals all the way, even eating and sleeping were problems. Wherever they arrived, they had to eat with the Mongolian army first.
Moreover, as soon as the generals arrived at the camp, they would go to the female prisoner camp to select the well-behaved and beautiful princesses, young ladies and palace maids and drag them back to their own tents to sleep with them. The whole camp was filled with smoke and wailing, and the sounds of "um|ah" and screaming were everywhere.
The Mongolian soldiers laughed arrogantly with a sour look.
It was late at night, and Zhao Yulin was still busy.
Xiao Yan brought him a midnight snack, and Zhao Yulin ate while saying that these things could be done by the maid. I would watch him eat and then clean up and leave.
Qiu Ju, who was in a favorable position, brought an urgent report: General Miao had reunited with Commander Li, and the Shenwei Army had occupied Kangyanchuan and reached the Heishui River.
Zhao Yulin ordered the Heishui River to be renamed Nujiang River, and set up Chamdo Prefecture in Kangyanchuan area. Li Yunqing was in charge of the defense of Chamdo Prefecture and the march into Lhasa City.
He asked the general to return to Guanzhong immediately to take charge of military affairs and bring back a batch of useful salt. He said that there were many salt lakes in Xining Prefecture, so he should choose the best salt lakes and transport all the best salt back to him.
Qiuju was very surprised. How did the young master know so much? Was Xining Prefecture really full of salt lakes? Were the lakes full of salt?
Why did the young master ask the general to send salt back from Xining? The journey there is too long. Although Qiu Ju didn't understand, she never compromised in her execution.
Zhao Yulin had already buried his head in thinking. It could be said that there was no road to the west, and the march into Lhasa City would have to be delayed.
Xiao Yan came up from behind, hugged Zhao Yulin's head and gave him a massage.
The young woman's massage skills were accurate, her techniques were skillful, and her movements were gentle, which made Zhao Yulin enjoy it very much. He asked her how she learned this skill.
