The Founding of the Red Chamber

After Duan Tianyu was sent to open up the barbarian battlefield with Ars Leng, the whole outside of the customs also ushered in another new year.

Today, there are continuous wars, and the prosperous and prosperous Jiangnan has been severely damaged by wars and fires. On the contrary, Guanwai, which is called a barren land by the people of the Central Plains, is living in peace.Although there were wars outside the pass, it was only at Beijingguan.The relevant foreign soldiers resisted the imperial soldiers and horses, and the lives of the people outside the pass were peaceful.That's it, Beijing Pass is strictly forbidden to enter and exit, and many foreigners stranded in Beijing Pass can't leave.

Lin Jing didn't intend to let them go anymore. Lin Jing first played the propaganda slogan "Beyond the customs is also home" and asked the local officials to appease the foreigners outside the customs.At the same time, Duan Tianyu's old father-in-law, Governor Shi, seems to come up with some measures to appease the foreigners, for example, they can be naturalized outside the customs, for example, if they buy property outside the customs, the government can exempt the deed tax and so on.In addition, Lin Jing also encouraged everyone to open up wasteland and farm. There is a lot of land outside the customs. If you are willing to open up wasteland, you don’t have to pay grain tax within three years. And set the grain tax.After arranging these measures to appease the people, Lin Jing is to publicize the injustice of the court, the killing of Zhongliang in vain, the raising of the flag of righteousness, and the sidelines of the Qing emperor to the people outside the pass. Anyway, ordinary people don't understand this. The situation is tense, and I'm afraid they can still know something about the war in Beijing Pass.However, as long as the outside of the pass is still under the control of Tu Xiaosan, these people will not say anything wrong about the outside of the pass.As for the future, today's life is considered peaceful, let's talk about the future.

In fact, most people don't have deep feelings about war.Because, although the price of grain in Beijingguan had fluctuated a little before, it was not that big, and it dropped quickly afterwards.Today, the price of grain, rice, oil and salt is still the same as before. People, as long as life is peaceful, as long as life is going on, they will not care about other things.The most worrying thing is the foreign merchants who are stranded outside the customs. They can't leave. They can stay. If their own business is still good, if they work for the owner, the goods will not come through for a while, and the business in the shop will be unsustainable.The officials outside the customs have also thought of this situation for them. Those who have money in their hands don't need to worry about it.For those who have no money, the two ways given by the government are, the first way is to plead land shortages, there are not many others outside the customs, and there is a lot of land; the second way is to serve as a soldier.

Anyway, no matter how badly people inside the pass describe the land outside the pass, few people can come to a dead end here.Even the law and order outside the pass and the actions of the yamen are much better than many places inside the pass.Even if you are a soldier, ask about the salary in the army. The monthly salary has never been in arrears.

This New Year, Tu Xiaosan hosted a banquet for generals in the army and civil and military officials outside the customs.

For those who celebrate the new year, everyone talks about going back to the New Year's War. Speaking of it, there is nothing to mention last year, especially Lin Jing, a young student who was defeated in the south of the Yangtze River and lost more than 2 people.Thanks to the rich experience of these two people in dealing with the post-war situation, and Lin Jing organized the sea trade route in the fastest time, and the two escaped from death, Duan Tianyu was able to take orders in the face of danger and resist Guan Tingyu. It's too flat.

Shui Li spoke very honestly, "It's not an exaggeration for Guan Tingyu to say that he is now the number one general. We can resist him, and there is nothing to worry about in the future."

Tu Xiaosan said, "After today, everyone is good at training. Next year, the war will be limited, and we will have activities in the year after next."

Everyone immediately knew that the war would be next year.

Talking about the war, Jia Yuan quickly said, "Third Brother, we have been fighting north and south all these years. Third Brother, you are so loyal. You are only a general. You have wronged Third Brother too much."

The Jia brothers were born as servants. Fortunately, these years are considered to be rich in experience, and they have gained some knowledge. In addition, the two brothers are astute people.Although his literary skills are not as good as Lin Jing's and his martial arts is not as good as Duan Tianyu's, he really has a lot of eyes.What's more, they are the youngest people who follow the disciple Xiaosan. According to Jia Yuan's meaning, his third brother should be king no matter what.Back then, the King of Jinling claimed to be the emperor.

Lin Jing looked at Tu Xiaosan, he didn't expect Jia Yuan to say such words suddenly.Tu Xiaosan first glanced at Lin Jing, seeing a faint disapproval in Lin Jing's eyes, Tu Xiaosan quickly glanced at everyone present, the generals are nothing, these people, didn't they work with Tu Xiaosan many years ago? Those who live and die together are those who have been kind to them by Xiaosan. Moreover, Xu Nianlin Teng has long been understood by Lin Jing.It's just that the civil servant's face is not very good-looking.Tu Xiaosan knew what was on his mind, waved his hand, and reprimanded Jia Yuan with a straight face, "Don't mention this! Anyone who mentions this again will be the sworn enemy of my Tu Xiaosan!" Afterwards, Tu Xiaosan said Standing up at the seat, seeing that all the civil and military people are also standing up, Tu Xiaosan waved his hand to let everyone sit down.Tu Xiaosan said in a deep voice, "You all know about my Tu Xiaosan. My original surname is Situ. Because my stepbrother harmed my mother, I avenged my mother and killed someone. I have changed my surname since then! All these years, have you I followed me all the way, and some of them didn’t know each other until I was outside the Guan. If I had a second heart for the imperial court, when the imperial court sent our Guanwai army to go south to quell the chaos of King Jinling, I couldn’t take all my family background with me. Later, from Savage Valley escaped, and the south side was not peaceful. I discussed it with Ah Jing and wanted to take a look at the south side. At that time, the situation in the south side was really not good. I was hurt by the court. Back then, [-] My brothers and I went south to pacify King Jinling, but they were killed by villains, and the number of people who returned with me was less than three thousand. When I think of these thirty thousand brothers, my heart aches." As he spoke, Tu Xiaosan couldn't help sobbing, and said emotionally, " I was born in a reckless, poor family, and suffered a lot. Those brothers who died in the south of the Yangtze River and in the Valley of the Savages also had bad backgrounds, and their family conditions must not be very good. .I took them out, but didn't bring them back. If I was ineffective in fighting, I have nothing to say. This is my incompetence. However, it was not because of the rebels, but because of villains. We shut down the foreign army and put down King Jinling for the imperial court, but the imperial court did not give those brothers justice. I feel uncomfortable in my heart."

As he said that, Tu Xiaosan burst into tears. He didn't shed tears, but held back his tears and continued, "I went to Jiangnan with Ah Jing. Hey, I'm from Jiangnan. I haven't seen any Japanese before." Bandits. I have only been away from home for more than ten years, and Japanese bandits are rampant. If you haven’t been there, you can’t believe it. In coastal villages and towns, as long as Japanese bandits come, children are thrown to death, women are raped to death, and men Cut open the belly. Hey, as long as it is a man, as long as there is a little bit of blood, can you just sit back and watch? But I was really hurt by the court, so I thought, don’t use our original name, just help our hometown in Jiangnan to create a Share your efforts. Let me ask myself, in the past few years in the south of the Yangtze River to fight against the Japanese, I have done my best and tried my best." As he said, Tu Xiaosan was so sad that he rolled down his tears, "Later, Governor Zhang had an accident. Everyone knows."

After a pause, Tu Xiaosan said, "Ah Yuan, what you said just now is that you want me to become a king myself? I know how you treat me. If I want to be king, I should have done so long ago. I will win Jinling Is it because of the chaos in the south of the Yangtze River and the anti-Japanese war in order to become king? I was thinking, how good it would be if the world can be peaceful. Originally, I thought that as long as our generals can fight well, the world will naturally be peaceful. But these years After all these things, I realized that the world is not so simple. We had just finished fighting the Japanese bandits, and Governor Zhang was forced to commit suicide. Previously, the wealthy families in the south of the Yangtze River rebelled, why did they rebel? When Governor Zhang was in power and the Japanese bandits were rampant, they did not On the contrary, Jiangnan is peaceful, so they want to rebel? Huo Dong’s family is also here, I have known Huo Dong’s family for many years, and there was a Chen grain merchant before. When we were fighting against Japan, the Chen grain merchant supplied grain. Fifty percent of the closing price. Huo Dong’s family even gave us real money to support us in fighting the Japanese. I still don’t know, what is their crime?”

Dong Huo's family didn't know whether it was a natural talent for drama, or thinking of a few wealthy friends who died in the war, his eyes got hot, and he couldn't help but shed tears.

Tu Xiaosan said sternly, "I went to Jiangnan to save them, just to ask them why people who were good before wanted to rebel? Mu Qiuting, the leader of Mu Da, is a famous knight in Shandong. Don't praise benevolence and righteousness. Going to Jinling and taking charge of water transportation, she has been a hero respected by everyone these years. Miss Murongmu, we fought against the Japanese in the south of the Yangtze River. She is a woman who spared her life to fight the enemy herself. They are heroines! There is also Master Xu, that year, [-] Japanese bandits besieged Jinling City, and the city guards were no more than [-], which was not enough. Master Xu personally took the strong servants who organized the family, and took out the food stored at home Mi Mian personally put on armor to go up the city wall to help defend the city. I don’t know why they rebelled against the court? When I went to the south of the Yangtze River, I met General Guan and Duke Lin Guo, who were also loyal to the court. Those who punish rebellion are not bad people. Then, rebellion can be rebelled, so why rebel?"

"We military generals, these years, have never been disloyal for a day, never stopped for a day, and have been loyal to the court, but how can the country of the court not be governed well?" Tu Xiaosan said, "I have seen it before, Your Majesty. A person who is not so clear. Your Majesty is holy, so, who deceived His Majesty?"

"I said Qingjun's side, just to let His Majesty understand that there are villains around His Majesty. However, in terms of eloquence, how can I match the eloquent and well-quoted villains around Your Majesty. I'm afraid I won't be able to say three sentences. It will end up like Governor Zhang." Tu Xiaosan's eyes were steady, and he said, "I'm not like Governor Zhang, if Your Majesty can't understand my loyalty, it's fine if you don't understand. But the villains around Your Majesty, I will kill !Because, in this world, I don’t want to waste it like this! People, I don’t want to have endless wars! My loyalty, after thousands of years, future generations will understand and remember it!”

Then, Tu Xiaosan looked at Jia Yuan sternly, "Thinking that you are young and ignorant, to say such crazy words, go to the stable to raise horses tomorrow!"

Jia Yuan was stunned, he didn't look like he was joking, and besides, in front of so many people, Jia Yuan knew it was not a good time to argue, so he could only say "yes", and hurriedly went down with lowered eyebrows.Tu Xiaosi has always been close to Jia Yuan, seeing that Jia Yuan was sent to the stable by his brother, he refused to accept it, so he got up to speak.Tu Xiaosan shouted with a cold face, "If someone says something disrespectful, persuades me to be king and emperor, and deceives my loyalty, it will not be so easy to talk about!"

Being petty and angry, he deeply felt that his brother had taken the wrong medicine.He was about to say a few words, but Xiao Niuzi had already grabbed his sleeve, and was still threatening him in Tu Xiaosi's ear, "Don't tell me to cover your mouth." Don't let Tu Xiaosi talk nonsense.

Tu Xiaosi, an honest person, didn't understand it, but Xiao Niuzi saw it clearly. This is what the rumors said:

Build high walls, accumulate food widely, and become king slowly.
