The Founding of the Red Chamber

No one expected that the Guanwai army would go to war so soon.

Even an old fox like Mr. Xie's mansion who bet on both ends, did not expect that the Guan Wai army came so quickly.

Because, the defeat of the Guan foreign army in the south of the Yangtze River the year before last, according to the inference of the imperial court, would restore their vitality, which would take three years at the earliest and five years at the slowest.These rebels outside the pass can enter Zhili Mansion.

It stands to reason that since there are rebels, the imperial court can transfer soldiers from other places to the king of Jingqin.However, it may be difficult to mobilize troops at this time. Tu Xiaosan personally led the troops to occupy Yanmen Pass, and Lin Jing led the troops straight to the capital. If Lin Yi hadn't persuaded Chen Qibao to set up troops in Zhili, he would have entered the capital at this moment up.

At that time, some courtiers wanted to transfer soldiers from the south of the Yangtze River, but before the decree came to the south of the Yangtze River, there were reports of rebels in the south of the Yangtze River. Moreover, the rebels were not all in one group. , and even in Shandong, there were Japanese bandits who came ashore to plunder, and the number of Japanese bandits was not small, and they directly surrounded Jinan City.Later, I don’t know why the Japanese bandits unfurled the flag of the rebel army outside the pass. The officials who refused to surrender killed a few, and those who surrendered were spared their lives. die.In addition, all the officials and soldiers who surrendered, as well as the common people, received Madam Zhang's Ten Commandments of Rebel Army Outside the Pass.The first thing to do is that the surrender should not be killed.Then there is the treatment of surrendered ministers and soldiers. The courtiers are all treated according to the court standard, and as for the soldiers, they are treated outside the customs.What is the difference between the standard outside the customs and the standard of the imperial court? That is, all soldiers, any superior who dares to deduct the soldier's salary, will be killed without mercy.If more than 500 taels of military pay are deducted, all the families will be killed.Then, after Mrs. Zhang broke up the surrendered troops, they regrouped and went directly to training.It is easy to appease the common people, the most violent yamen have surrendered, and the common people are here to re-advertise the good policies outside the customs to the common people, for example, tax cuts and tax cuts, appease the people and so on.Anyway, to win people's hearts, it is natural to give some benefits.

What's more, these rules were drawn up by Lin Jing in advance.It's not entirely for the sake of buying people's hearts. These years, there have been droughts here and floods there. Moreover, there have been constant wars and disasters. Where does the money come from? It is nothing more than from the people.Ask Lin Jing to say that the people have suffered for a long time.Therefore, the pacification measures these years have been discussed with Tu Xiaosan in advance.

On the other hand, Shandong is Lin Jing's hometown, even though Lin Jing has never lived in Shandong for a long time, he still has some kind of love for him.What's more, Kong Shengren's hometown is also in Shandong, and Xu Nian's family is also from Shandong.After Mrs. Zhang settled down in Jinan Mansion, she ordered Xu Shangfei's family to be picked up, and Lin Jing's letter was given to Xu Shangfei.

Xu Shangfei was injured by Duan Tianyu during the Jinling King's rebellion, and he retired from the position of General Jinzhong. Later, after recovering from his injuries, he guessed that his son might be called Lin Jing and abducted him outside the pass to become a "rebel thief." ", Xu Shangfei has been looking for new jobs.Seeing that some Japanese bandits came ashore and brought a letter from Lin Jing, Xu Shangfei said in his heart, Lin Xiaosi, although you want to lure the Japanese bandits ashore for thousands of miles, you are probably leading tigers to drive wolves away.

In other words, Lin Jing really deserves to be Xu Shangfei's brother-in-law. In Lin Jing's letter, he first told Xu Shangfei about Mrs. Zhang's identity. This is not the leader of the Japanese bandits, but the sister of our great general.Having said that, Xu Shangfei finally let go of his half-empty heart. Then, Lin Jing told Xu Shangfei about marrying Xu Nian, who was the daughter of the Shandong Mu family. Which family, Rao Xu Shangfei, a Shandong family, has never heard of the Mu family.Since he is an anonymous person, Xu Shangfei understood after a little thought that this must be someone who can be used outside the pass.In this world, the reversal of high and low is only a momentary matter.Really, princes and generals are kind to each other.

Xu Shangfei believed that from Lin Jing's point of view, it was always a marriage that Lin Jing had carefully considered.

Lin Jing is his own uncle, and it is reasonable to arrange a marriage for his nephew at the moment.Now that his son's marriage was tied to Lin Jing outside the customs, Xu Shangfei was not hypocritical. He greeted Mrs. Zhang immediately, and was the first to stand up to help Mrs. Zhang stabilize the overall situation in Shandong.

As for Lin Chun, in the past he was only worried about the eldest son, but now that he knew that the eldest son was married, Lin Chun finally let go of his worries, and then he was worried about brothers Lin Yi and Lin Jing instead.Lin Chun was thinking about when he would go to the temple to burn incense for the two brothers.

Unlike the dazzling Lin brothers, most of the girls in the Lin family are virtuous and virtuous, such as Lin Chun, who has always been content with the inner world and knows little about government affairs.However, even if he is in the inner quarters, as Lin Yi and Lin Jing's compatriots, Lin Chun has no less sensitivity. From the time her husband decided to serve as an official in the rebel army outside the customs, Lin Chun knew what his husband liked. party.Lin Chun also pays great attention to building a good relationship with Mrs. Zhang. According to Mrs. Zhang, she has a long relationship with the Lin family.What's more, Mrs. Zhang served Lin Ping before.Although Mrs. Zhang is not from a high family background, she has experienced many storms, so don't be sassy and magnanimous.

Mrs. Zhang smiled, "At first, the eighth concubine treated me very well. Later, when I met Ah Jing on the sea, he was a unique person in the world. We, siblings, had a lot of help from Ah Jing. We met today Sister, she is also such a friendly person, which shows that we may be destined for each other in previous lives."

Lin Chun softly said, "There are six brothers and sisters in my family. When Ah Jing was born, my father was killed in battle. When my mother heard about this, she got pregnant and gave birth to him and let go. He was very weak when he was young. If it wasn't for My aunt took him to the palace to be looked after by the imperial physician, fearing that it would be difficult for him to survive. When he grows up, he will also be in trouble. These years, he was outside, and we couldn't help him even if we wanted to. Fortunately, he was taken care of by the general, and now we know him It's all good, so I can rest assured." Lin Chun said, feeling a little sad, she was just such two blood brothers, and they were born to be incompatible, and she was called a sister, and she was always worried about it.

Mrs. Zhang also sighed when she thought of Lin Jing's body, "We have one or two available doctors outside the customs. It stands to reason that Ah Jing should give birth to a child. When he came back from Jiangnan that year, his health was not as good as before. But, this There have been constant wars for several years, even if he is allowed to support him, he can't support his heart."

After speaking, Mrs. Zhang couldn't help saying, "I also have brothers. We have suffered all these years, but in fact it's only because of the separation of siblings. It's sister, you, who are facing hardships now, are a hundred times more difficult than me."

"Who says it's not." Lin Chun's eyes were also red, "There are six brothers and sisters in my family, and only I, A Yi, and A Jing are from the same mother. Their brothers and sisters are against each other. I can't feel at ease for a day."

"Since that's the case, why don't my sister revise Lin Guogong and persuade Lin Guogong?" Mrs. Zhang said, "I didn't say that if the court had the right way, who would be willing to do rebellious things? The court has no way, and there are treacherous officials on the side. Ah Jing is going to raise the flag of righteousness, and Qing Jun will side it. Xiaosan and Ah Jing have promised in front of civil and military officials that even if they arrive in the capital, it will not be harmful to His Majesty. Even if we say these words with sincerity, I am afraid that Duke Lin will still not believe it. Elder sister personally edited the book to persuade Lin Guogong to think about it."

Lin Chun choked up, "It's easy to write a letter, but if he did, he would have already done so."

Mrs. Zhang couldn't help sighing, thinking that although the Lin family has been a wealthy family for generations, it is indeed a tragedy for the brothers to turn against each other.

But, are there still few tragedies in this world?

Or, others feel miserable.The two brothers, no one feels miserable.

Especially Lin Jing, really deserves revenge!

Back then, when he first entered Jinling City, he almost made Guan Tingyu and Lin Yi a mess.Now, Feng Shui took turns, and it was Lin Yi's turn to support the city, instead of besieging the city with his army.Since the breakup in Jiangnan, the two brothers have no relationship at all.When Lin Chun's letter was delivered, Lin Jing couldn't help but chuckled, and Tu Xiaosi asked, "Why are you so happy?"

Lin Jingdao, "You can send this matter to Lord Lin and tell him that we have captured Shandong, and we can go straight to the capital!" Li ordered Tu Xiaosi, Liu Zhigao, Chen Erqing, Shi Silang, Ma Sanlang and others to prepare to encircle and wipe out Zhili soldiers and horses.

Tu Xiaosi couldn't help rubbing his fists, "Are they really going to come out?" It's more than ten times harder to attack the city than to defend it, especially for a city like Zhili Mansion, it's no exaggeration to say that it's as solid as gold.Kuang is guarding the city with a general like Lin Yi. It is a difficult time to attack the city. If the Zhili army is willing to leave the city, Tu Xiaosi will not be afraid if he asks himself!

Lin Jing said coldly, "Knowing that the capital is not safe, how could he not return to the army to save his majesty the emperor!"
