Chapter 1193 The bitter winter (seven)
In the middle to late November of the second year of Wu Zhenxing, the Southwest Huaxia Army, which was shrouded in wet and cold clouds, was carrying out land reform, and most parts of the entire Wu Dynasty had entered a snowy winter scene.

Since the feat of defeating the Jurchen West Route Army, the most far-reaching social reforms carried out by the Huaxia Army have not attracted much attention from the entire world at this time.Just because on the whole land at this time, the more intuitive war and slaughter, the conflict and alternation of power have not had the slightest calm because of the heavy snow in winter.

This is the winter when countless people die.

In the south of the Yangtze River, the chaotic war turned this originally rich and prosperous land into a real purgatory.

Since the end of September, since He Wen announced a clearer Party program for fairness and carried out a substantial act of taking back power, the entire Jiangnan has been caught in a dog-toothed melee.

This entire fight of the Fairness Party, in fact, was indeed a war that was first provoked by the "Fairness King" side against the other four parties.However, with the outbreak of the war, what appeared on the land of the south of the Yangtze River was not a scene where the five parties of the Fair Party, which had the majority, fought in an orderly manner in the image of one-on-four or four-on-one, but the entire behemoth in the world. The front of them disintegrated suddenly, and dozens and hundreds of forces began to devour each other frantically.

In the past two years or so, the Fairness Party rose with the banner of the Huaxia Army, and swept the entire Jiangnan in a short period of time. As a result, five branches of the so-called "Fair King" and "Equality King" were born.At the stage when the fair party is running smoothly, the people who joined it are relatively united, and on the hilltops under the five flags, they can also ensure that they do their best to obey orders, and even if there is any friction between them, the leaders of all parties have formed. Relatively clear "speaking numbers" principle.

After King Hewen of Fairness took the lead in "rebellion", almost all such principles were weakened, and conflicts of interest that could have been settled through negotiation became fierce. A new round of standing teams broke out in the form of swords and guns. Infighting of various groups, large and small, occurred almost every day, and medium-sized forces such as "Ranjiang King", "Big Dragon Head", and "Jisheng King" were included. Also seize the opportunity to rise up.

For a while, it was like a group of demons dancing wildly.

For two months, Shi Baofeng, Xu Zhaonan, Gao Chang, Zhou Shang and other four kings fought against He Wen together in name, but in fact, they were all overwhelmed by the collapse of their own organizational capabilities.During this period, the core strength of Gao Chang, Shi Baofeng, and Xu Zhaonan was relatively stable. In the past, the "King of Yama" Zhou Shang forces, which had gathered the largest number of speculators in the past, had almost become a mess.

On the frontline battlefield, several core towns that originally belonged to Zhou Shang's command were almost stolen by He Wen, Gao Chang, Shi Baofeng, Xu Zhaonan and others in the first wave of war. The most brutal warriors under his command were here. Under the atmosphere of infighting, they were vulnerable. After being first shot down by He Wen, Gao Chang, Shi Baofeng, and Xu Zhaonan began to take over their front-line forces and materials on the grounds that "you are not as cheap as you are." .

In order to boost morale, in November, Zhou Shang led a mighty group of nomads to Lin'an, trying to use profit as a bait to reshape his leadership.However, this time, the "puppet army" in Lin'an, which was vulnerable in the past, came forward. Tie Yan and Wu Qimei used promises such as recruiting and surrendering one-tenth of the elite, letting go of the past, and providing food and drink as bait to defeat the mighty refugee team led by Zhou Shang. in the cold snow.

The most important thing under the command of "Yan Luo Wang" is the refugees. After the team was defeated, Zhou Shang led the core members to flee, and then called again.

On November [-], Wei Yunwen, who had been in private contact with He Wen for a long time, successfully assassinated Zhou Shang near Huzhou, and then took over the forces of King Yama.

On November 21, the news of the change of helm of the "Yan Luowang" force had not yet spread throughout the south of the Yangtze River. Several leaders of the nearby forces belonging to the "Abi Yuantu" and "Karma" and other forces, together with a leader of Wei Yanwen's subordinates, rose up. After half a day of bloody fighting, Wei Yanwen was forced to death in a reed marsh in the field.

Several leaders who killed Wei Yunwen announced to inherit the legacy of "Yan Luo Wang", but by this time, the entire "Yan Luo Wang" force that had recruited millions of people in the past had completely collapsed, making it one of the five major forces The forces that were eliminated in the first round.He Wen and others then recruited the remaining forces of their subordinates, and the entire killing scene became more chaotic.

In the snow-capped south of the Yangtze River, this war ignited like a fire in purgatory. The conflicting people sought their own protection, and in such a conflict, groups of people turned into ashes in the fire.The people in this war are frenzied and hysterical, but it also feels like the most bewildering mess in years.Some people tried to escape, dragged their families and were killed in the wild by another group of refugees who were trying to survive, and some people stuck to their own hilltops, but they were still unavoidably forced to choose to stand in line. in the white snow.

Including He Wen, Gao Chang, Shi Baofeng, Xu Zhaonan, and other forces that still have spare power, while stabilizing their own feet, they also began to throw out more clear governing programs.Internal purification, purging and external warfare are all going on at the same time.

In this short and long winter, the breakup of the Fairness Party broke out in Jiangnan, which contributed to the most chaotic farce and almost the most tragic series of murders in recent years.Throughout the course of the war, it has both serious and comical, loyal and betrayal, ideal and ignorant, calm and fanatical, ridiculous and pathetic, meaningful and meaningless...and many other elements.It has attracted the most eyeballs in almost the entire world, but most people can hardly tell why they are fighting.

In any case, much life turned into remains.

At the same moment that Jiangnan turned into purgatory, other places in this world also had correspondingly violent changes brewing.

Southeast, Fuzhou.

Undercurrents were surging in the small court that inherited the orthodoxy of the Wu Dynasty, and there was never a moment of calm.

A crucial battle broke out this winter.

"... Zhou Shang is out, a bit too fast..."

On November 24th, the continuous convoy was moving along the mountain roads that were not too rough. In one of the carriages, Jun Wu took the information he had just received and was comparing the map to study the development of the situation in the entire south of the Yangtze River. .Accompanied by the carriage are Cheng Zhouhai and Zuo Xiuquan.

Since Jiangning ascended the throne and traveled south for two years, Jun Wu threw himself into government affairs and studies, and rarely rested and relaxed.At the beginning of this year, Zuo Wenhuai and others arrived in Fuzhou, and after bringing the support of the teacher from Southwest, some of his grand strategies were gradually promoted with the joint efforts of a group of staff around him. The formation of Lingnan, on the other hand, focuses on internal affairs, grasps power, promotes young officials, and builds the Southeast Military Academy to unify thoughts.

In the second half of the second year of revitalization, after the small court in the southeast determined the direction of revitalizing maritime trade, pirates in the outer seas of Fujian began to rise. On the other hand, the large maritime merchants in Shanghai directly open up the subscription of shares of the official ship caravan to the private sector, and win over the Lingnan maritime merchant team. They have fought fiercely with "pirates" in the open sea, and only now have they managed to establish an official family. prestige.

After this series of actions are carried out, various kinds of persuasion and persuasion on the court are inevitable. Local gentry, merchants, including foreign Confucians and small emperors are not suitable for their self-willed behavior. Competing for profit is the most remarks Jun Wu has seen this year.

When winter comes, all kinds of contradictions and conflicts in various places have not stopped, but have intensified.This is because when Jun Wu arrived in Fuzhou and established a firm foothold, he "selected a large number of scholars". He imitated Ning Yi's method, and reused various young office staff based on efficiency and teleology, especially when Zuo Wenhuai and others arrived. After that, Jun Wu took Zuo Wenhuai in charge of the Wubei Academy, delegating more power to the lower-level officials. These young officials conducted various investigations in Fujian, and some of them had already begun to take charge of various government affairs, which caused conflicts with local forces in Fujian. , and therefore frequent.

The whole of Fujian is such a big place. The local forces who originally welcomed the emperor wanted to be rich and rich, and in the future, even chickens and dogs would ascend to heaven. Who would have guessed that the young emperor had such great ambitions. Trade business, this is not enough, but also a group of young people who will lead a group of young people to gain power.There is only so much power in a local area, and if you want it, it is inevitable that you will often quarrel in the Golden Palace.

During this period of time, the eldest princess Zhou Pei, who had a better relationship with the gentry and Confucian scholars from all over the world, often reminded Jun Wu that the local gentry was not small, and the clans of each family were closely related, and they were more united than the clans in other places. .Jun Wu knew about this, and while letting his sister unite the great scholars from all sides, he had to spend more time and mud. The borders broke through, and the rockets on the teacher's side were created as soon as possible, and everything that was not pleasing to the eye was flattened.

The weather is snowing after the winter, and the temporary government affairs in various places have actually eased, but Jun Wu is still working hard. As long as he has free time, he often asks about the progress of the Institute of Gewu and Wu Bei Academy, and the people around him are relieved. The emperor's diligence, on the other hand, often persuaded him to take more rest.

Jun Wu did not listen to the persuasion, but in November, the noble concubine Shen Ruxin was in poor health, and Jun Wu arranged for her to go to Lianjiang to soak in the hot spring.Around mid-November, he said that he was going to find the imperial concubine to soak in the hot springs to recuperate his body, but in fact he took Zuo Xiuquan, Cheng Zhouhai, and a large number of young reserve officials to inspect the livelihood of the residents along the icy and snowy countryside. Detour in the direction of Lianjiang.

On the 24th, the news of Zhou Shang's elimination had already spread.

"...According to Zuo Gong's previous arrangement, the news of Gao Chang's willingness to join forces has not yet been revealed. Now that Zhou Shang has gone, if General Gao is allowed to take over these places that connect with Lin'an in the south, then we will go out of Fujian, maybe we will be able to Make an agreement with He Wen to temporarily rule the Yangtze River, so that the waterway will be smooth and sea trade will be more convenient..."

"According to He Wen's character and the site at this time, if you want the Yangtze River, I'm afraid you have to fight."

"Then it's just a fight."

On the map, Jun Wu and Cheng Zhouhai briefly exchanged ideas. At this time, a warning sound sounded in front, and then an explosion sounded from the rear.

The surroundings suddenly became chaotic, the carriage jolted for a while, and it tilted, and the wheels seemed to be stuck somewhere on the road.Zuo Xiuquan and Cheng Zhouhai both changed their faces, and said, "Is your majesty okay?" and said, "Your majesty, don't act rashly!"

Jun Wu waved his hand, pushed open some curtains in the sloping car body, and a guard beside the car said, "Is Your Majesty all right?" At this time, Tie Tianying was in the distance, and his eyes seemed to swipe randomly. At this point, Jun Wu made a gesture to him, and the other party's eyes moved away.

There was more than one carriage in the forward team, and nine of them were blindfolded. Jun Wu looked back and forth between the gaps in the curtains, and saw that the fighting warning in front seemed to be still on the mountainside in the distance, and the explosion in the rear was even more serious. More recently, it seems that the bridge on the river bed behind was blown up by a fireboat loaded with explosives. Now this royal team of about 300 people is cut off by the small river, and in front, the assassins seem to be killing from the mountains , Shouting to kill one piece.They were discovered by the scouts ahead, and it would take a certain amount of time to kill them, but it was hard to say whether there were any assassins in ambush nearby.

Looking back and forth, Zuo Xiuquan and Cheng Zhouhai also understood the whole situation.

Cheng Zhouhai said in a low voice: "There seem to be thousands of assassins coming, and there are rafts in the car. Your Majesty can cross the river with Lord Tie and others."

Jun Wu smiled: "Thousands of people have come here, where are the assassins, this is the army." He had already taken out his armor from under his seat.

Zuo Xiuquan frowned: "Thousands of people can be dispatched here, those with such strength... Your Majesty, don't mess around..."

Jun Wu tore off his robe, revealing the armor inside, and put on a few pieces of armor that had not been worn before, and put on a helmet.

"Crossing the river and going back, what should I do if they are stopped by them? The Chu Bawang fought against the Qin army at Julu back then.

On the road, the soldiers and horses assembled, including the dozens of young officials accompanying this time, who had already drawn their swords. Then, they saw the emperor come out of the sloping car body, and walked straight to the roof of the car. Eagle was frightened and rushed back.

The screams of killing on the mountain rolled in, Jun Wu opened one hand and laughed.

"All officers and men! There are two famous men in our team today! Zuo Gong Xiuquan, young and virtuous, you have all heard that Cheng Gong Zhouhai, and guarding Taiyuan with the eldest son of the Qin family for a year more than ten years ago. In the fight, I have left injuries on my body, and in winter, it is not very easy. This time, we will accompany them to Lianjiang and soak in the hot springs!"

"Now there are people blocking the way, soldiers and comrades--"

He drew his long sword.

In the snowy road, there was silence for a moment, and then they heard Zhou Junwu's voice.

"Follow me to kill the enemy—"

On this trip, the Royal Forest Army that followed Jun Wu was not much, but everyone had followed Jun Wu to charge under Jiangning City, which is why, almost at the moment when they heard "comrades in arms", the figure in front, The atmosphere has changed dramatically.

Those who came down from the mountain were the most elite cronies of one or several big clans in Fujian. They screamed and passed through the woodlands in the snow-capped mountains.

"Kill the faint-hearted--"

"Support the Empress—"

What followed was a thunderous battle cry——

"kill--"

……

At the same time when the front lines were connected, on one side of the mountain, there was also a white team that was almost integrated with the snow-capped mountains. Suddenly, a frenzy broke out and inserted into the formation of the assassins.

The former Huaxia Army soldier named Zuo Wenhuai took the lead, leading his companions to stab the opponent's head.

At the same time, Jun Wu led the Royal Forest Army and the young officers wielding swords to resist the tide that was coming from the front.

Blood splashed and danced over the snow like a batch of training, the figures rolled and turned into corpses, and there were also explosions.

Jun Wu shouted and rushed forward, and was then pulled by the imperial guards on both sides. Tie Tianying was just over a zhang in front of him, splitting the scattered assassins on the ground.

"Kill ah-"

Jun Wu could only scream fiercely.

The blood was pushed away like a tide from bottom to top, and at a certain moment, someone suddenly rushed behind Jun Wu, who was being guarded.

"what--"

He turned his head sharply, and a young official who had followed him slashed with a knife at this time.The guards beside him rushed to meet him immediately. Jun Wu raised his long sword with both hands and slashed out. The light of the knives staggered in the air. Jun Wu's sword collided with the opponent's full-strength slashing knife. With the sword, he slashed open the opponent's neck.

A soldier also split open the other's stomach at the same time, and more swords were slashing at the assassin.

The bloody and hot blood poured on Jun Wu's face, the assassin was almost smashed to pieces, and fell to the back. This was the first time the little emperor had killed himself in his life. He took two breaths to calm down, and then turned around again. , screaming fiercely forward.

It was boring to be surrounded, but he had to do his best to boost his morale anyway.

The large-scale assassination of nearly 200 people was quickly pierced by the counterattack of nearly [-] people. Jun Wu led the crowd to kill all the way, until he reached the top of the nearby snow mountain, he held the long sword and stopped at the snow line at this moment On the road, the winter sun shone down, engraving his figure in everyone's memory.

In the armor, Jun Wu's body trembled slightly.

He immediately thanked Zuo Wenhuai and others who had followed him all the way these days.

……

In the evening of the same day, Fuzhou.

Knowing the situation, Zhou Pei summoned more than a dozen famous officials, great scholars or representatives of aristocratic families gathered here, and informed them of the assassination that Jun Wu encountered today, as well as his record and heroic appearance of relying on more than [-] imperial troops to kill thousands of people. .

"More than ten years ago, due to the shame of Jingping, the first emperor crossed south to Lin'an, and the people of the world also went south. Later, there were more people and less land. The court said, let the southerners return to the south, and the northerners to the north. But in fact, People from the north have nowhere to go, and at that point, I, the Zhou family, have lost their virtue..."

"Now, in this place in Fujian, it seems that people from the south have returned to the south and people from the north have returned to the north, and this time, I want to drive our royal family from the north out of here together... "

She wore a long dress and glanced around, and then the teacup she held in her hand loosened and fell into the silent hall with a snap.She looked at the teacup and was silent for a while, then sat down with a solemn face, tears streaming from her expressionless eyes.Her voice was hoarse.

"Kill the stupefied king, support the empress... You want to force Zhou Pei to death... Now, it's okay."

　Today, the administrator of the QQ group told me that their black fan group was banned because they insulted the author. That group originally had more than 500 people. It is a pity that a new large group has been established now, and the group number is: 830198690.If you are interested, you can add it.As for why it is a black fan group, it is also normal. It was a fan group at first, and after I stopped for a while, it gradually evolved into a black fan group. This is a serious biological law.Well, speaking of this, I suddenly had an inspiration. If I want to take the title of fan in the next book in the future, I decided to call it "loved..."
