The Founding of the Red Chamber

Lin Jing felt that what he was doing was clearly a rebellion, but in the end all he did was doing things for the country and the people.

After arriving in Haiyan, Tu Xiaosan recruited troops, Lin Jing cleaned up people's livelihood, and the two were busy going around every day.There was nothing wrong with Tu Xiaosan, but he was worried that Lin Jing would be too busy to support himself.However, it's also strange, Lin Jing's body, which usually has to be sick for two days, has been so busy, but he is healthy and has nothing to do.

Lin Jing himself said, "Maybe I was idle before."

Tu Xiaosan touched his slender arms and legs, and said, "Others are getting fatter and fatter, but you are the only one who looks like a chicken." Although he was not sick, Lin Jing also lost weight.Tu Xiaosan felt very distressed.

Lin Jing punched Tu Xiaosan twice, and asked, "How about my punches?" He had just learned from Tu Xiaosan.

Tu Xiaosan smiled, "Not bad not bad."

Lin Jing shook his wrist, "I also think it's good." Lin Jing also said, "I heard that when you practice martial arts to a certain level, there will be qi in your meridians. Third brother, I feel that there seems to be qi in my meridians. run."

Tu Xiaosan tried his best not to faint from laughter, but Lin Jing was not happy, "Why are you laughing, I mean the truth."

"Really, really." Tu Xiaosan pulled Lin Jing, "Come on, try today's prawns, don't you love prawns the most, we really came to the right place, there are not many fish and prawns here in Haiyan. "

"We also have fish and shrimps outside the customs. However, the freshwater fish in the south of the Yangtze River is relatively fresh." The two each have a busy stall every day. One is in the army at noon and the other is in the government office. They just eat together in the morning and evening.

The two talked, had dinner, and then discussed the sea salt affairs.

Speaking of it, the Haiyan incident is nothing to say, it's just that the pirates cleaned up the mess after they mopped up.Right now, there is still a public sacrifice in Haiyan. Speaking of it, it was not an official public sacrifice, but a private one. It was the old, young, women and children killed by pirates when they plundered Haiyan, as well as the corpses of thousands of officers and soldiers. , has not yet sacrificed.This is where the sacrifice came from.Even Tu Xiaosan and Lin Jing, seeing the current scene in Haiyan, hated the pirates extremely.Therefore, Lin Jing proposed to change the civil sacrifices to public sacrifices.Then, he also wrote a sacrificial article in vernacular, and read it aloud during the public sacrifice. When he read about the poor deeds of the Japanese pirates, the invasion, plundering and killing, many relatives of the people died in the Japanese plague, and they couldn't help crying.

After the public sacrifice, Tu Xiaosan continued to recruit soldiers and horses, while Lin Jing invited rich local households for a meeting, not for any other purpose, but mainly to build the city wall to resist the Japanese invaders again.Lin Jing's proposal got the cooperation of the only remaining big households in the city. Among them, a horse squire was quite sensible, "Even if you lose your family, as long as you can defend against bandits, it is worth it." The horse squire not only said It is sensible, even when donating the family property, it is not a gimmick, and directly takes over half of the family property.

Because there is a market outside Haiyan City, the last time Japanese pirates invaded and raided the market, causing heavy losses to many merchants, Lin Jing proposed to move the market to the city.In addition, outside Haiyan City, all townships and villages must build high walls and organize village braves to practice swords and guns to ward off Japanese bandits.

At the same time, Tu Xiaosan also increased the salaries and salaries of soldiers and generals, because the Japanese bandits like to use spies, Lin Jing also stipulated that the daily training of soldiers in the city has corresponding slogans every day, so as to prevent Japanese spies from passing through the officers and soldiers. Clothes mixed into the city.If there are spies in the city, the reporter can get one thousand silver, and if the family hides and protects, the whole family will sit together.

Perhaps because Haiyan has just been looted, it has been relatively peaceful in the near future. While Lin Jing was overhauling the city wall, he did not forget to rebuild the market and encourage farmers and merchants.At the same time, Tu Xiaosan trained soldiers, and not only in the city, Lin Jing also asked Tu Xiaosan to organize an army. As long as a caravan applied for escort, Tu Xiaosan could send an anti-Japanese army escort.Moreover, soon there will be a big business, a batch of newly produced silk will be shipped to Hangzhou.Tu Xiaosan decided to personally escort him.

When Tu Xiaosan led the caravan out of the city, Lin Jing told him solemnly, "You must take care."

Tu Xiaosan nodded, and squeezed Lin Jing's hand, "You also have to be careful in the city."

Both of them knew that this was a strategy to lure out the Japanese pirates, and Lin Jing was naturally concerned about his disciple Xiaosan leading the troops outside.Lin Jing was in the city, because the Japanese pirates had a history of attacking and plundering the city, Tu Xiaosan wanted to take away most of the troops this time, and keeping Lin Jing in the city was also a concern.It's just that they have been training their troops for these days, and they are bound to fight a battle in the New Year.Instead of waiting for the Japanese pirates to come, it is better to use tricks to lure the Japanese pirates to come.Anyway, there must be Japanese pirates in the city, and Japanese pirates are notoriously fond of silk fabrics.

Lin Jing didn't know what was going on outside Tu Xiaosan, but the day after Tu Xiaosan left, Japanese pirates invaded the city.Lin Jing thought how many people had come.As a result, there were only a hundred or so people.Lin Jinggang wanted to say that these hundred or so people can be packed up as soon as they leave the city.Because there are at least 300 troops stationed in his city. However, at this time, Lin Jing has seen the toughness of the Japanese pirates and the incompetence of the local army. Like a monster, it would be an exaggeration to say that they were defeated, but Lin Jing was so angry that he was trembling and trembling like a wimp.Especially not to mention the soldiers and horses they recruited later, the soldiers they brought from Hangzhou, they couldn't help being afraid of the Japanese.

Lin Jing was angry, and slapped Li Baihu whose legs were trembling, and angrily reprimanded, "You are also a man!"

Lin Jing went to the city to supervise the battle in person. He had already prepared for it. Rolling stones, kerosene, bows and arrows were all available. In addition, Lin Jing found a guard with a loud voice to pass on his password.Lin Jing commanded the archers, the rolling stone team, and the fire oil throwers to divide and cooperate. It was a bit chaotic at first, but after a cup of tea, he could adapt to Lin Jing's command. The general calmed down and took over the command responsibility , Lin Jing shouted loudly on the city wall, "I'm afraid they will do something wrong! They are raised by their parents, and they are made of flesh and blood! They can't be smashed or burned or shot! See! These Japanese bandits can also be killed! Think about you Relatives who were raped, murdered and plundered! Touch your eggs, are you still a man? Are you a man! You must avenge your injustice! Revenge if you have a vengeance! Kill one Japanese thief, reward a hundred silver, kill ten Japanese pirates, seal a hundred households, Reward a thousand taels of silver!"

Lin Jing recalled the history of Haiyan's suffering over and over again. The main reason is that even though the three hundred soldiers in the city had no confidence, Lin Jing was very confident.Going back up, there were no more than a hundred Japanese pirates who came to invade the city, and the city wall of Haiyan City had just been repaired, and it was very strong.When the Japanese pirates began to retreat, Lin Jing personally led the troops to chase them out on horseback. Lin Jing's personal soldiers were all left over from the campaign against the King of Jiangnan, so it can be seen that he is extremely brave.For this matter, there must be a leader.Lin Jing also experienced battles. Even if he is not a master, he is definitely not comparable to ordinary scholars.Relying on his good horse and good riding skills, he also cut down two Japanese pirates.The soldiers below saw that Lin Jing was so brave, and Lin Jing's personal soldiers were even more brave than the Japanese. The Japanese killed more than a dozen people directly, and the soldiers behind were also aroused to be hemorrhagic. Li Bai Hu yelled, "It's a man, kill the pirates for me!"

Then, the generals came together, even though the Japanese never took the Han people seriously, and resisted with all their strength, there is a saying that a good man cannot control a large number of people, not to mention, this group is just Japanese bandits.Seeing this, the squire Ma in the city immediately said to several gentry from his hometown, "The Japanese bandits are the enemy of all of us in Haiyan, and we should also help Mr. Lin." However, the nursing homes of the squires are different from the nursing homes of ordinary families. Most of them are young and strong with martial arts.Moreover, the horse squires are quite resourceful. In addition to the guards of each family, they also organized young and strong men in the city to transport rolling stones, tung oil, bows and arrows, etc. to the soldiers on the city walls, whether they were armed with swords or sticks With hoes and kitchen knives, half of the city's people suddenly rushed out, all of whom ran out to kill Japanese pirates.There are many people, and there are tens of thousands of people in Haiyan no matter how few people there are.Some bold women saw that the men ran out of the city to kill the Japanese bandits. In Haiyan City, there was no one who had no hatred for the Japanese bandits. Therefore, many brave women followed out of the city with their belongings. .When these Japanese bandits saw something bad, they couldn't run away when they wanted to.The Han people who often trembled under the long swords of the Japanese bandits, at this time, aroused the blood that had been suppressed for many years in their bones. Many Japanese bandits were not hacked to death by knives, but were beaten to death by the common people. It was rushed by crazy people and killed bite by bite.Even the few country gentlemen who cherished their lives, when they came out late, they couldn't help crying when they saw that the Japanese bandits who had invaded were all killed.In recent years, among the people in Haiyan, which family has no relatives who died at the hands of the Japanese bandits, and which family has not been looted by the Japanese bandits?How many families were destroyed and their relatives were separated because of the Japanese bandits.

This time, all Japanese offenders were killed in the future. In addition to joy in everyone's heart, there was also a deep sadness. For a while, everyone wept together.

This battle, Yu Linjing was just a small battle, but Lin Jing could understand the feelings of the people in Haiyan. He calmed down and said loudly, "Today, our officials and the people are united and killed more than a hundred Japanese bandits. You have also seen that , Japanese bandits are not invincible, as long as we are united, as long as we take up our swords and guns, our blood feuds in the past, the relatives who died in the past, one day, we can pay with blood! For our relatives, revenge, blood hatred!"

Seeing this, Squire Ma immediately raised his fist and shouted, "Kill the pirates! Take revenge! Kill the pirates! Take revenge!" The voice spread far and wide. They all responded in unison, "Kill the pirates! Avenge blood!"

When Lin Jing ordered to collect the corpses of the Japanese, cut off their heads and brought them into the city, and counted the soldiers, the fight against the Japanese was a great victory, because 16 officers and soldiers were killed and more than [-] were injured, while the Japanese pirates, however, It was wiped out.Although in Lin Jing's view, it is normal for a hundred Japanese bandits to dare to come to attack the city. It is normal for such a hundred or so people to try to attack a county and be wiped out.But in Haiyan, this was an unprecedented victory. Li Baihu, who was seriously injured, also wrapped up his wounds and went to help with the post-war pacification. Everyone's faces were full of excitement and joy. Although there are colleagues who are injured and even died, almost everyone is thinking that as long as they can kill all these bastard Japanese bandits, they will die, and this life will not be in vain.

All in all, the victory this time reshaped the confidence of the people in Haiyan to fight against the Japanese. The Japanese bandits fell from the original invincibility to the altar and became mortal bodies.Right now, the people of Haiyan, who have won a big victory, wish that there would be another thousand or eight hundred Japanese pirates immediately, so that they can continue to kill the Japanese pirates and avenge their blood.

On the second day, when Tu Xiaosan led the troops and quickly returned to Haiyan, he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the purge in Haiyan city.
