The Founding of the Red Chamber

In Xia Sanlang's short 30-year life, the first 20 years were all smooth sailing.

Born in a family of officials, he is extremely talented. In the past, Xia Sanlang thought that the only ups and downs were Chun Wei's two defeats.Until the younger sister had an accident, Xia Sanlang knew that there was such a heart-wrenching pain in the world. When he rushed home, his younger sister had already been buried, and even those who hurt his younger sister were all killed by Lin Jing It's spotless.However, how guilty Xia Sanlang was, he would think in countless tossing and sleeping late nights, if he hadn't left home back then, if he had been at home, would he have taken good care of his younger sister, would her sister have been fine?

Such paranoid self-blame, even if Xia Sanlang knew that thinking like this was a dead end, he would still regret and blame himself again and again.If there is another person in the world who makes Xia Saburo blame himself, it is Lin Jing.

Xia Sanlang even thought that at the beginning, he should be the one to kill those people, and he should be the one to do those things.However, these things about these people were ultimately done by Lin Jing.He heard that Lin Jing disappeared after leaving the capital, and later he heard that he was quite powerful outside the pass, but before he had time to see Lin Jing, Lin Jing had an accident in the south of the Yangtze River with the troops outside the pass.Rumors say that Lin Jingding is no longer alive, because no one can come out of Savage Ridge alive.

Why didn't he expect that, what he should have thought of earlier, Li Qing, Li Qing, is exactly the word Jing.

He had so many things he wanted to say, so many things he wanted to ask, but seeing Lin Jing's face that was more unfamiliar than familiar, Xia Sanlang finally calmed down, and his thousand words finally turned into one sentence: How are you?

These years, far away from home, narrowly escaped death, how are you?

Xia Sanlang quickly sorted out his mood, when the apprentice came over with his horse, Xia Sanlang had remounted and said seriously, "There is one more thing to discuss with the general."

Tu Xiaosan saw nothing wrong with Xia Sanlang's face, nodded slightly, "Let's go to the front and talk."

Xia Sanlang followed his apprentice Xiaosan to ride forward, and the two of them rode on horses and discussed military affairs in a serious manner for half an hour.When he regained his mood, Xia Sanlang understood that Lin Jing must have great difficulties, otherwise, he would not show his true colors to others.Xia Sanlang is a very smart person, no matter what Lin Jing's difficulties are, it is impossible for him to tell the truth, and it is even more impossible for others to see through it.How did Lin Jing survive all these years when Guan Waijun disappeared in Jiangnan? He came to Jiangnan, and now he is in charge of the Jiangnan military. What is his purpose?It is impossible for Xia Sanlang not to think about these things, but no matter what Lin Jing wants to do, Xia Sanlang will not reveal Lin Jing's identity. In his heart, Lin Jing has always been the one who personally avenged his sister's blood hatred all these years Brother-in-law, always has been, his dear brother.

After discussing the matter, Xia Sanlang clasped his fists and said, "I have been entrusted by the General to take charge of military affairs temporarily, but I have no idea in the end. Now that the General is going away, I hope to live up to the entrustment of the General."

Tu Xiaosan said, "Governor Xia's talent is far superior to mine. I can't rest assured that Jinling City will be handed over to Governor Xia."

The two greeted each other politely, Xia Sanlang took his leave and left.When he left, he didn't take a second look at Lin Jing's carriage.Therefore, when Lin Jing told Tu Xiaosan that Xia Sanlang had recognized him, Tu Xiaosan couldn't believe it, and Tu Xiaosan said, "No way, Governor Xia can't see anything unusual at all."

Lin Jing sighed and said nothing.

What can be said?

Things are right and people are wrong, nothing like this.

Lin Jing and Tu Xiaosan were discussing military affairs. It was already late when Xia Sanlang returned to the city. Mr. Zhao asked him why he was in such a hurry to leave the city. Say, including my father."

Although Mr. Zhao really wants to know, but he has been with Xia Sanlang for nearly ten years. Xia Sanlang was able to become the governor in ten years. underestimate.Mr. Zhao knew his temperament very well, so he didn't dare to say much at the moment, so he replied, "Yes."

Xia Sanlang was a little tired and sad. In fact, this kind of emotion is rare as he rises up in the officialdom step by step.He used to feel that the longer he was an official, the colder his heart would be. Today, revisiting the pain, between the fatigue and pain, Xia Sanlang was actually a little joyful.

As long as you're alive, that's fine.

Xia Sanlang just lost his composure for a moment, and then began the training of the Jinling Army.Back then, when Tu Xiaosan beheaded General Jinling, the entire Huaiyang officialdom was shocked.The Jinling army was frightened up and down, and then they completely surrendered. If you don't accept it, you can't do it. No one is afraid of death.However, the soldiers below love Tu Xiaosan, the great general, without him, since Tu Xiaosan, those adults who have oppressed them for many years and drank the blood of soldiers will be punished with death.Nowadays, no one dares to pay a penny for a soldier.There are also many veterans over the age of 40 who were willing to return to their hometowns, but they were sent back to their hometowns by Tu Xiaosan.The other insufficient soldiers are all newly recruited.

But for the next training of the Jinling soldiers, Tu Xiaosan can't stick to Jinling City. If he wants to fight against the Japanese, he must go to the coastal front.It was Lin Jing's idea to hand over the military affairs to Xia Sanlang.Lin Jing knew Xia Sanlang quite well, that is, although Xia Sanlang is now a civil servant, his demeanor is still different from those gentle and refined civil servants. There is a chic look.

Now, it also proves that Lin Jing's vision is not bad, no matter how accurate it is.Although Governor Xia Sanlang has done a good job, compared with civil servants, it is obvious that he is more interested in military positions than civil servants.Xia Sanlang only went to the military camp a few times, saw military training, and some notes on military training written by Lin Jing, and ordered someone to copy a copy for Xia Sanlang. Mu Rong, who continued to train his juniors in Jinling, had seen Xia Sanlang's training, so he had to say that the governor is really good at both civil and military skills.

The two of Tu Lin went to Songjiang, but this first battle was not that big.

Even Governor Zheng seemed to have faintly sensed the first storm that was coming in Huaiyang.

In this battle, in fact, regardless of Tu Xiaosan Lin Jing and many people with bright eyes in Huaiyang, or people with insight in the Japanese bandits, they all understand that based on Tu Xiaosan's record against the Japanese over the years, he must not wait for him. stand firm.And if you want to take down Tu Xiaosan, the best time is to make a move when he is not firmly established in Huaiyang.

And the best time is now!

The Japanese bandits in Huaiyang also showed a quality far superior to the Zhejiang and Fujian Japanese bandits. The tactics they set up were not a few Japanese bandits fighting together like Quanzhou City did in the past. This time, they agreed on a time and acted separately.

The Japanese bandits figured it out clearly, no matter how powerful your apprentice is, you're not too powerful.No matter how powerful your army is, it is only ten thousand. Do you dare to divide your troops?Can you divide your troops?Tu Xiaosan was inconvenient to divide the troops, but the Japanese bandits were different, they were not in the same group, the leaders of several big Japanese bandits joined together, and each family sent out their own people, robbing their own.Of course, whoever meets Tu Xiaosan's army is considered unlucky for himself.At the same time, five or six bandits of Japanese bandits were dispatched to attack different villages and towns to avoid Tu Xiaosan's sharp edge. Rao might encounter Tu Xiaosan, but only one man.Think about it, five or six raids by Japanese bandits, you only solve one of the five or six raids, and the rest are all failures.Tu Xiaosan has military exploits again and again, your current position is not the general of a certain town or state, what you are responsible for is the position of general of a province.If there are fewer victories and more defeats, the court will be a talking point.

The Japanese bandits' calculations are extremely good, and their strategies are not ineffective.

It's just that Tu Xiaosan didn't pay any attention to their petty calculations. Tu Xiaosan has been fighting for many years, and the first thing he understands is that he can't let his opponent lead him by the nose.No matter how the Japanese bandits attacked the villages and towns, Tu Xiaosan's order to the generals at the next level was that once the Japanese bandits attacked, they were not required to go out of the city to defend against the enemy, but to stick to the town.Even if there are towns that cannot be defended, Tu Xiaosan can't do anything about it.Because, the three major armies of Tuxiao were dispatched to directly take back Chuanshawa, Songjiang, Zhelin and other places occupied by the Japanese bandits, and at the same time, stationed troops to garrison them.Afterwards, those Japanese bandits who ran to the inland to burn, kill and loot, some towns were rescued properly, and they did not suffer from Japanese disasters.Some people who have suffered from Japanese disasters, if they retreat in time, they can be regarded as fishing.Those who are too greedy will be overtaken by the three major armies of Tu Xiao, and Japanese bandits are not uncommon.

Therefore, this first battle was really not like what the Japanese bandits had calculated, that the little three lost more than they won.Not to mention that Tu Xiaosan regained the territory occupied by the Japanese bandits, but later on when Tu Xiaosan blocked the coast and swept the caves in Liting, he counted his achievements, which can be called a small victory.Of course, there are also people who have been raped, but no matter which dynasty or generation, the first to be raped is not the common people.

Fortunately, Tu Xiaosan had completely driven the Japanese bandits out of Huaiyang this time, and with Tu Xiaosan stationed there, Huaiyang could have some peace in a short period of time.

From this point of view, Xiao Sheng, even Governor Zheng, who had some opinions on Tu Xiaosan at first, also spoke good words for Tu Xiaosan in his memorials.Here, of course, Xia Sanlang is credited.Xia Sanlang is now in charge of Jinling's military affairs, and has more exchanges with Governor Zheng about military affairs.What's more, since the army was purged by Tu Xiaosan, the atmosphere has taken on a new look. Although Governor Zheng has no knowledge of martial arts, he is not blind after all, he can still see.

Especially during the current war, Governor Zheng also understands that if he wants to win a battle, he must have a strong general.

What's more, the Huaiyang Sutra suffered a big defeat before, but now Tu Xiaosan has a small victory, but he has the merit of taking back the country. Moreover, Huaiyang really needs a victory to boost morale, so this small victory was also given by Governor Zheng. Rendering of blooms.As for Chen Qibao, Governor Zheng is the Emperor's confidant and trustworthy minister. Governor Zheng was disgraced before, and Chen Qibao used the reason that he had just entered the post and never held him accountable.Now that Huaiyang has this small victory, Chen Qibao is very pleased, not only the military merit reward, but also in front of his close ministers, everyone inside and outside praised Governor Zheng a lot.

Yes, Kua Zheng Governor.

good vision.

Chen Qibao said, "In the beginning, Governor Zheng asked General Lin to take charge of military affairs in Huaiyang. I was worried that General Lin had been in Zhejiang and Fujian and was not familiar with military affairs in Huaiyang. After arriving, the situation in Huaiyang immediately reversed. It can be seen that with such a strong general in our dynasty, the Japanese bandits have nothing to fear."

His Majesty the Emperor insisted on praising Governor Zheng even if he had no reason to create a reason, and everyone could only say yes.But he said in his heart, General Lin's bravery has been verified by Zhejiang and Fujian. What is Governor Zheng's vision? Anyone with eyes, who doesn't know the bravery of General Lin!

However, it is also true that the situation in Huaiyang has reversed.

His Majesty the Emperor was overjoyed, and when he rewarded Huaiyang, he did not forget to give Governor Zheng a big compliment.

However, His Majesty's reward had not yet reached Huaiyang, and a bigger battle ensued.And following this war came another political tragedy in the Jiangnan political arena.
