Song Beiyun

Chapter 277 Untitled

The weather was gloomy and cold, and there was no sign of spring coming. Xiao Song sat in the study with a warm stove in his arms and looked outside in a daze.

This is a typical sign of the Little Ice Age. A Little Ice Age may last for more than 500 years from the beginning to the end. The most famous Little Ice Age in history is from 1350 after the rule of the Yuan Dynasty to 1850 in the middle and late Qing Dynasty. interval.

The rule of the Yuan Dynasty will be 100 years later. Calculated in 100 years, there will be more than 90 floods, more than 80 droughts, 100 to [-] hail disasters, [-] to [-] locust plagues, [-] to [-] earthquakes, and wind, frost and snow plague. More than [-] times.Before potatoes, corn, and sweet potatoes were introduced into China, in the middle and early Ming Dynasty, the food problem indirectly caused the population to drop by half.

Now if the Little Ice Age really comes earlier, then there is not much time left for Xiao Song. If he does nothing, I am afraid that natural disasters and man-made disasters will turn the whole of East Asia into a mess in the next few decades. Man-made disasters caused by natural disasters will spread to every corner.

This is not what Xiao Song wants to see. He wants to leave a name in history and live forever, instead of being entangled with disaster victims, famine, plague and northern nomads all day long.

This is meaningless. Although the war makes men's blood boil, who will end the devastation after the war?

"so hard……"

Xiao Song sighed, he secretly felt that he probably belonged to the unfortunate among the lucky.If he came to the era of the Sui and Tang Dynasties with good weather, he would find a cat in any place at that time, occupy the mountains and become king for more than ten years. After he came out, he would sweep the Eurasian continent and then develop shipping technology to cross the Pacific Ocean and go to the Americas to dig high-yield. Crops came to eat, and finally entered the pre-industrial age 200 years in advance.

Or go to the end of the Qing Dynasty to hug the thighs, hug one by one, use your own foresight to dictate the future situation, and then live in peace until the founding of New China, retire as a high-ranking official and bask in the sun in the veteran cadre nursing home, let the famous The sons and daughters of "Aihong" or "Jianguo" told him about the progress of hybrid rice.

This is all very good, and it is also entering the history books, shouldn't it be easier?

However, he came to such a strange place. The Song Dynasty was not in the right place. There were years of natural disasters, foreign enemies surrounded, internal fighting like tigers, technology was almost stagnant, and the Little Ice Age was ahead of schedule.

This is really terrible... People travel to enjoy life, but he is lucky, Nu Wa is here to mend the sky.

"Hmm..." Xiao Song let out a long sigh, lying on the table full of frustration: "It's so annoying, I really want sweet potatoes, corn, potatoes and hybrid rice."

At this time, Miaoyan just passed by the window with small steps and Qiaoqiao from outside, and just as she heard Xiao Song talking about potatoes and sweet potatoes, she stopped and lay down in front of the window, stretching out her hand to pat Xiao Song's dog's head: "I want to fart again!" What about eating?"

"Look at the weather. The rain has more than doubled since last year. This is a typical early sign of the Little Ice Age. If you think about it, it's really a headache now."

After thinking about the wonderful words, I feel that this is really the case. Since last year, the whole climate has become weird, and natural disasters have occurred frequently in various places. According to this situation, the reduction in food production has become a certain trend. She suddenly understood why Xiao Song was so sad. Dismal.

"Then let me remind you that the entire Great Song Dynasty has the best and strongest shipbuilding skills and has sea-going ship technology reserves." Miao Yan stretched out his hand and pinched Xiao Song's face: "You were the one who was held in Luzhou and dared not move. The Jin family."

Song Beiyun was taken aback: "How do you know?"

"Of course I have my news network. His young master has been thinking about me all the time. Shouldn't I be well prepared to deal with the enemy?" Miao Yan chuckled: "That's all I know. As for how you operate, that's Mr. Song." thing."

Thinking about it this way, it seems to be true. I heard Xu Li say before that [-]% of the ships in the world are built by the government, [-]% by the Xu family, and [-]% by the private sector.The remaining [-]% were built by the Jin family, and the shipbuilding skills of the Jin family are unrivaled in the world. They are all big ships and large ships. They are famous for their durability. Although they are expensive, orders keep coming. The ancestors of their family were master craftsmen who built dragon boats for Emperor Sui Yang.

"Hey!" Song Beiyun got up: "Yes, I'll go find Xu Li."

Soon, Xiao Song took a ham and two chickens, and walked along the road to the magnificent Xu family mansion. Because no one in their family was famous, the boy at the door looked lazy, but he knew Song Beiyun's purpose After that, he was notified and let him go in.

Walking into the Xu family's house, Song Beiyun knew what a mansion of the world's top rich man was.This place only covers an area of ​​[-] mu, with all kinds of pavilions, towers and pavilions. It even draws water from the mountains to form a stream in the yard. There are fish swimming in the stream, which is charming and naive.

In the kiosk in the courtyard, there are several expensive Persian cats lazily napping on the side of the cat stove specially prepared for them.

Cat stove!This rich man is so extravagant that many poor people can't afford to light a stove, but he actually lights a stove for a cat.

"Xu Li." Song Beiyun yelled outside the door: "You are so courageous, let me wait for you here."

Just as he was shouting, a thin old man came out. Song Beiyun cupped his hands and said, "Uncle Xu..."

"Come in, come in, what's the point of shouting outside."

Xu Li's father naturally knew Song Beiyun, and the two had been working together for some years, but the former Xiao Song was now Master Song, but it didn't matter, after all, those shocking ideas of Xiao Song and Xu Li were all in front of him. The old man was secretly supporting him, and Xiao Song respected him a lot.

"Brother Changqing..."

Song Beiyun walked in and asked in a low voice, "Why didn't you see him?"

"Hey, now that I know it's called Changqing, your mouthful of Xu Li is easier than the old man's."

The old man of the Xu family is also a cheerful person. After all, he has seen all kinds of strange things since he was a businessman, and he is very open-minded.If you want to put it on the side of other people, calling them by their first names is like pulling their hair and scolding their mothers, it will definitely cause displeasure.

"This... I was joking with him, it didn't mean that."

"I'm too lazy to care about you." The old man of the Xu family ordered the hired workers to bring tea and pastries: "You are still a bit thoughtful, knowing that you will come to pay the old man a new year on the first day of the new year."

"That's natural. It's normal to wish Uncle a New Year." Song Beiyun cupped his hands and said, "I wish Uncle blessings like the East China Sea, everything goes well, all wishes come true, and every year is more than enough."

"Boy's mouth is sweet." Xu's father took a sip of tea: "Your family, Xu Li, had a quarrel with me. He went to Xiushui's father-in-law's house for a few days, and he won't be back until a few days later."

"What did he do again?"

"Don't mention him anymore, let's get angry." The old man said angrily, "I said I wanted to spend all my money, but he insisted on arguing with me."

"Scatter the family wealth? Why?"

The old man sighed and said, "It's too big. If you don't let go of such a huge monster, the day of sinking is just around the corner."

Song Beiyun didn't answer, but he actually agreed. After the decline of the Jin family, the Xu family was simply the dominant family. Now merchants all over the country prefer to use the Xu family's seal instead of the imperial court's seal, because the Xu family's seal is made Exquisite and difficult to imitate, and the logistics and freight of the Xu family are all over the world, and can be exchanged everywhere. What kind of concept is this?This means that the Xu family has the right to print money!This is a competition with the Tian family, if not done well, it will really overturn.

After all, the old man is an old man, and he has a vicious vision in business for a lifetime. His thinking is indeed correct, but it is a bit too much to say that he is dissipating his family wealth.

"That's it, uncle." Song Beiyun thought for a while: "I'm in the household department, and I have a few friends. After the new year, I'll discuss with those friends carefully to see how this matter should be handled. You Don't worry, just like today, I don't have the heart to torment you."

"But sooner or later, the Jin family will be a lesson for others." The old man sighed and said, "The donation from the Jin family is just a drop in the bucket, but the so-called public-private partnership in the next six months will make them lose their flesh and blood..."

Song Beiyun hissed, and quickly changed the subject: "By the way, uncle, how is the Jin family's shipbuilding skills?"

"That is top-notch. The keel technique in this world can only be made by the Jin family. In the late Tang Dynasty, the old lady of the Jin family was already a world-renowned master shipbuilder."

"Can they build sea ships?"

"It's possible to be afraid, but it's time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it's been a long time since no one has gone out to sea."

Song Beiyun nodded, thinking that this is normal. Sea-going ship technology actually existed in the Tang Dynasty, but the follow-up applications such as food storage technology, astronomy, and navigation did not keep up, and they were gradually sealed. When the follow-up science matures It can be directly improved and used. Otherwise, the Noah’s Ark used by the Qibao eunuch to go to the West in the early Ming Dynasty hundreds of years later?

It seems that some things still have to be planned. Weapon research and development alone can no longer cope with the complicated changes in the future.

"By the way, Uncle. Are there any suspicious people these days... they are lobbyists." Song Beiyun cautiously probed: "Say something that doesn't make sense."

Old man Xu thought for a while, then shook his head: "That's not true, but there are quite a few suspicious people. A few days ago, there were people sneaking around the house."

"Uncle, let me tell you something, you just have to worry about it in your heart, don't say it outside."

Song Beiyun told Old Man Xu about the Jiangxi White Lotus Sect's collusion with the camp to rebel. The old man turned pale when he heard this, how could he still not know the crux of the problem.If those people really managed to succeed, the Xu family would be finished.The rebels would not let such a wealthy household go, they just wanted money, but once the Xu family gave money to support the rebels, the final result was self-evident.

"Do you have a way?"

"It's already being done." Song Beiyun got up: "Uncle, these few days call on the guards at home and wait for it. We will find out within ten days."

"Sigh... If Xu Li can be like you, or if you are my cub, it would be great." Old man Xu sighed helplessly: "Your family Xu Li is too stubborn, and also has a bit of a scholarly spirit."

"Hahaha... Don't panic, uncle. When he comes back, I'll help you teach him a lesson." Song Beiyun smiled and turned around: "Then I'll go back today. Uncle, be more careful about everything."

Chapter 278: On January 1 of the second year, it was sunny in the second day of junior high school

Lao Wang stood on Zhao Xing's left hand with his hands hanging down. His expression could not be seen clearly, but his eyes were filled with fear.

Zhao Xing's hand holding the letter trembled slightly, and his breathing became heavy. Although he seemed to be very calm now, the old eunuch who had been by his side knew that his heart was filled with anger.

"A dog's guts... a dog's guts..." Zhao Xing murmured, "It's a dog's guts."

"Old King."

"The old slave is here."

"Call Shang Shu Sheng, Zhong Shu Sheng, and the Ministry of War to come and see me quickly!"

"Old slave obeys the order."

Soon, the upper study room was full of people, Zhao Xing threw the letter on the ground: "Look for yourselves."

Adding up left and right, the Shangshu of the Ministry of War circulated this heavy letter, and after seeing the contents above, they all looked at each other in blank dismay.

"Officials, how can you conclude that Jiangnanxidao is planning to rebel and cause chaos based on these few words?"

Zhao Xing suppressed the anger in his chest. He didn't know about others, but Song Beiyun knew best. As long as he said anything from this person's mouth, everything would be true, and the letter clearly stated that, except for the fire, There are also some strange things along the way, and many clues have already shown signs.

After Song Beiyun escaped from Xingzi, he stopped when he saw a post along the way, and continued to collect information on the way until he arrived at the destination. There were repeated problems with the transfer of soldiers and the transportation of food and grass.

Originally, this was a common problem, but considering the time period and frequency, it became not so normal.Years ago, the inland garrison actually carried out multiple defense changes, and a large food convoy entered Jiangxi. Although it was broken up into pieces, the Yi Cheng at the post station knew these things like the back of his hand.

Song Beiyun reported everything he found to Zhao Xing, and Zhao Xing felt through his own judgment that there was definitely something wrong with it.

"Lord Ai, how can you say such things as the Minister of the Ministry of War?" Zhao Xiang's face darkened: "The camp changed defenses and gathered, and the food and grass changed. If these are not problems, why are there problems?"

On the other side, Shang Shuling, that is, Chen Xiang half closed his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Officials, it is better to kill one thousand by mistake than to let one go. But as the letter said, it is too late to mobilize the army now." , why not give Shang Fang’s sword and the seal of the emperor, as said in the letter, and try to prevent problems before they happen.”

"Chen Xiang, do you mean we are waiting here?" Zhao Xiang asked sharply, "Give the people along the way to the rebels?"

"Why is Prime Minister Zhao so restless? When will I say that I won't deal with it? It's just that we can't act too hastily now that the matter is imminent. We still need to ask the privy envoy Zuo Guogong to discuss this matter together."

Zhao Xiang knew the old fox's plan as soon as he heard it, but it was true when he thought about it carefully. The best way is to let Duke Ding come over. There is no credit for doing well, and you will be blamed for doing badly.

"Please Ding Guogong." Zhao Xing snorted coldly: "Wang Banban, give Shangfang's sword and the emperor's seal to the past, and allow Song Beiyun to deal with it cheaply, go!"

Hearing the name Song Beiyun, Zhao Xiang couldn't help frowning, and was startled...Why is it him again?

But after all, it was an old thing who had practiced for many years. He didn't show it. He just waited there with the others until Dingguo rushed over in a hurry.

"Dingguo Gong, you are here." Zhao Xing's face was full of concern: "Don't be too polite!"

Duke Ding still doesn't know what happened, but soon when he learned about it, his beard was raised with anger: "There are other things like this?"

"Exactly!" Prime Minister Zhao turned his head and said, "Mr. Ding, if we send troops immediately, how many days will it take?"

"Preparation, ordering, division, and travel, the four steps will take at least three days. During the period, we must mobilize food and grass. If we want to reach Jiangzhou, it will take about [-] to [-] days."

"It's too slow." Zhao Xing felt like fire was coming out of his nose: "Why is it so slow!"

Dingguo Gong showed a helpless expression on his face, there was nothing he could do if he was slow, he was already well-trained, and the general army was dispatched on a monthly basis. A battle can be as long as three to five years, or as short as eight months.

Coupled with the high mountains and long rivers on Jiangnan West Road, it is very inconvenient for the army to travel, and the time will only be longer and never shorter.

"How about it, official?"

"Go."

The process of sending troops to suppress the rebellion began, while Song Beiyun stood in front of a map with the divisions of each battalion marked on it, and beside him stood the battalion commander in plain clothes.

"Brother Li, there are about 2 people, right?"

"Three general battalions, more than ten large battalions, and demon cultists." Commander Li said truthfully: "This is the news I got here."

Song Beiyun marked several camps that did not participate in the rebellion: "Brother Li, how sure are you of persuading these commanders to send troops?"

"I'm not quite sure. If you don't see the tiger talisman, you are not allowed to go out. This is the rule."

"Then what about Shang Fang's sword?"

"If the verification is true..."

Yes, the Shangfang sword does exist, but if you want to transfer troops, you can’t do it, because you can’t tell whether it’s real or not, unless you can brush your face like King Fu, use the Shangfang sword to knock out the king and kill the courtiers Well, if you hold Shangfang's sword like Song Beiyun, you used to give someone's head away.

"Then how to deploy troops..."

"It has the emperor's seal... Brother Song, don't you know?"

Ah... Song Beiyun really didn't know about this, and no one told him.Although he knew that there was this thing, he really didn't know that this thing could directly command the army. It seemed that the authority was higher than that of the general soldier talisman.

But there is no logical problem here, the emperor, the world belongs to him, if the army can't be adjusted, then the emperor is a fart.

Song Beiyun is just waiting now. According to the speed of eight hundred miles, the letter has arrived now.Then waiting for the reply is probably like the fifth and sixth day of the new year, preferably the fifth day.Because those people are about to attack on the eighth day of the eighth day, and it will be difficult to deal with the uprising. It is best to defeat them one by one, with the smallest loss in exchange for the greatest victory.

Then lead troops all the way to sweep across the past, taking Jiangzhou down is the best, the sign is that there will be no conflicts, but this is very difficult... Song Beiyun is not completely sure, anyway, he has done everything that should be done now, Leave the rest to God.

"I don't know what's going on in Ganzhou, but it shouldn't be a big problem." Song Beiyun looked at the map with his hips crossed. "It's too far to go to Ganzhou, so they don't necessarily have that kind of influence. They are mainly concentrated in the east and north of Ganzhou."

The places of rebellion are concentrated in Nanchang, Jiujiang, and Jingdezhen. These three places happen to form a circle around Poyang Lake. If they are allowed to form a circle, it will be troublesome.Poyang Lake alone is enough for them to be self-sufficient, and with the Xujia Farm and the agriculture support policy initiated by various places, Jiangxi is now the largest granary in the entire Song Dynasty. The granary is cut off, and Zhejiang and Guangxi will be in full swing. Put, plus the attack of Vietnam and Yunnan, this...

The thief is going to kill his Zhao family.

"Brother Li, have you sent the letter to Lord Fu?"

"It was sent out yesterday, but the prince is in Fuzhou, so I'm afraid it's too late..."

Song Beiyun shook his head and said, "I'm almost here, and it's too late for anyone else. To let Lord Fu know is to make him prepare and leave the last root for Da Song."

"what?"

Seeing Commander Li's expression, Song Beiyun waved his hands again and again: "That's not what we mean, we have to think about the worst in everything we do, at least we can have a retreat when we get to that point, so we won't lose our eyes, but just now Judging from the situation, if there are no accidents, the problem is not big, we will just wait for the signal from Jinling City."

"Oh... What Mr. Song said really scared me."

Song Beiyun nodded, then sat on the stool and began to draw on the map with a pen.

He is really helpless, this is purely to drive ducks to the shelves, all based on the knowledge he learned from the art of war given to him by Fu Wang, the knowledge of time travelers is useless at all, he plays games with a Yamato ship frame full of two hundred people Get up and go over to A and let him go to lead the army to fight... making trouble.

Of course, if one insists on proficient use of anything, it is tunnel warfare, mine warfare, sparrow warfare, guerrilla warfare, and protracted warfare.When the enemy advances, we retreat, when the enemy is stationed, we harass, when the enemy is tired, we attack, and when the enemy retreats, we pursue.
