[Red Mansions] Lin's first genius doctor

"I have an extra big brother?"

Lin Jiang raised his head to look at Gao Qiyu in surprise when he heard the words, and then quickly and carefully covered the box in his hand, lest a gust of wind blow over and hurt the treasure that was just drawn from the diamond blind box today.

Afterwards, she took the handkerchief to wipe her hands, and asked Gao Qiyu seriously, "What's the matter?"

Lin Jiang found that Gao Qiyu was like that kind of 'Shock! The tabloids of the gimmick series, first give you a heavy headline, which makes people dizzy.

Gao Qiyu had just caught a glimpse of Lin Jiang's carefully put away things, obviously curious and wanted to get to the bottom of it.But he hesitated for a moment, saying his eagerness for the big news got the better of him.

So he asked again mysteriously: "You know, do you have a big brother?"

Lin Jiang's first reaction now is: Could it be that the cousin of the queen of Qianxiang Kingdom took down the father of the system?No, that many are also younger brothers.

She signaled Gao Qiyu to speak directly with her eyes.

Gao Qiyu said: "It's Wei Ren, a brother suddenly appeared! It really shocked the government and the public. Guess who that person is?"

Lin Jiangxin said: "Wei Ren is now considered successful and famous. Since he defeated the King of Beirong in the Northwest War, his reputation has spread. This kind of 'lonely born with no relatives, he is an orphan picked up by the emperor', naturally also as a Part of the reputation is also spread out.

Lin Jiang would not be surprised at all if there were such people who pretended to recognize relatives.

As the saying goes: "If you are poor, no one cares about you in the busy city, but if you are rich, you have distant relatives in the mountains."

It doesn’t matter if there is an extra real brother, but Gao Qiyu said that the government and the public were shocked, Lin Jiang only thought he was exaggerating, and couldn’t help laughing in his heart: Unless Wei Ren’s elder brother is the emperor, Wei Ren committed a crime outside the palace when the emperor was young. Otherwise, who else deserves to shock the ruling and opposition parties of the Great Zhou Dynasty?

After Gao Qiyu announced the answer, Lin Jiang was indeed shocked, and understood the shock of the government and the opposition.

It's really the emperor, but the emperor of Beirong!

When Gao Qiyu uttered the words 'King of Beirong', Lin Jiang thought he heard it wrong: "What did you say? Who? Who is it?"

Gao Qiyu was immediately satisfied when he saw that someone was as shocked as he was, and began to talk to Lin Jiang in detail.

Let’s say that ever since Beirong Wangting couldn’t hold back and rushed out of Tongcheng for a surprise attack, Dazhou’s side had been waiting in full force. On the surface, they were still squatting under the city for reclamation and infrastructure to engage in scolding and fighting, but secretly scouts and sentries Triple-fold: Since the Beirong is gradually unable to withstand the war of attrition, if the sneak attack fails, there must be other moths.

It's just that they never thought that Beirong's moth this time was not a weapon, but a piece of news.

Word came out in Tongcheng that Wei Ren, the vanguard general of the Great Zhou Dynasty, was originally from Beirong. He was picked up by the emperor of the Great Zhou (the prince at the time) in a deserted village, and he was a child of their Beirong tribe.He is also the long-lost younger brother of King Beirong!

The news from Jubeirong is that King Beirong was born in the Wushu clan, and was originally a noble family in the grassland, but he had a rough experience since he was a child. Although his father was a nobleman, he lost in the Wushu clan's struggle for power. Lost at the bottom, he was robbed of a large area of ​​land, herding sheep and other properties, and exiled to the most barren place of the tribe. In the end, he fell into depression and died in middle age.

Therefore, although King Beirong was born in a nobleman, he was excluded by the royal family in the Wushu tribe, and his childhood was very difficult.It was his self-improvement (that is, usurping power and the throne) that brought back his own dignity and the dominance of the Wushu clan.

He was only in his early 20s that year, and since then he has started this great ambition to dominate Mobei.

However, King Beirong's lifelong regret is that in order to suppress their family, the Wushu royal family took his newborn younger brother to 'raise' him, calling it teaching, but actually serving as a hostage.

Not only did they ask to leave as a hostage, but later the Wushu royal family lost the child, so that the parents of Beirong King were sad for the youngest son, and died one after another within a year.

It was also this incident that greatly stimulated the rebellion of the Beirong king, so he rose up two years later, overthrew the old tribal royal family, and sat on the throne himself.

After he became the new king of the Wushu clan, he learned from his torture of the former officials of the Wushu clan that his own brother was sent to the territory of Da Zhou and disappeared without a trace.

But on the battlefield, when he saw Wei Ren suddenly, he recognized him immediately: This must be his younger brother, he looks exactly like his own father!So the king of Beirong turned his head away immediately when he saw it.

It's not that he was afraid of the enemy and didn't fight, but that he was suddenly at a loss when he saw his relatives.

Besides, such a bizarre story is not just a word of mouth, the King of Beirong even made a decent portrait.

This is said to be the portrait of "Daddy Beirong King" posted everywhere in Tongcheng.

When the news came out from Tongcheng, General Zuo was so startled that he almost fell off the watchtower.And Beirong also threw portraits down from the top of the city for the soldiers of Dazhou to pick them up.

General Zuo ordered someone to pick it up and look at it, and he was shocked: This painting really looks like Wei Xianfeng.

Although the person in this painting has an older face, he is wearing the unique bronze armor of Beirong, and he is not riding a horse, but a strange beast like a camel.But you don't need to distinguish carefully, you can tell at a glance that this person and Wei Xianfeng look like they were carved out of the same mold.

He hurriedly showed the paintings to all the generals in the army: "This Beirong man is really vicious."

It is rare for Duke Li to look blue and dignified: "Of course we know that General Wei is definitely not his younger brother, and we also know why the King of Beirong fled watching the wind. He didn't see General Wei's face, but he saw the new scarf on his shoulder. Firearms. Just the soldiers down here..."

After all, it was an era when educational resources were not popular.

Great Zhou has been rich and prosperous for many years, and it values ​​the imperial examination to be an official, but the illiteracy rate among the people is still quite high.There are few people in the army who can read and write.For the elite soldiers of the firearms battalion, firearms may be recognized at a glance, but for many ordinary soldiers in the northwest of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the word "firearms" cannot be written.

In their hearts, a firearm should be a bulky thing that can only be operated by several people, and finally makes a loud noise, rather than a black box that can be carried by a single person.

This kind of firearm was newly obtained by the imperial court, and the new type of firearm that was being developed was classified as top-secret, and it was afraid of being stolen. Even in the Ministry of War in the capital, there were not many people who were qualified to handle it, let alone in the northwest.

The king of Beirong could realize his strength, and immediately turned around regardless of his face. Wei Ren was very regretful at that time, and he still had two points of admiration: he really deserves to be the man who ruled Beirong. Rush up to the muzzle to die.

The sudden retreat of the King of Beirong shocked the two armies at the time, and caused a lot of discussion. There were already a lot of discussions, and there were all kinds of things to say.

Therefore, at this moment, even Duke Li has to worry: the king of Beirong made such a public opinion war by surprise, I am afraid that there are soldiers below who will doubt this and shake the morale of the army.

Wei Ren was shocked when he heard the news suddenly.It's just that he immediately realized that the matter was important, and there would be an uproar. If these generals didn't report back to the capital, it would be dereliction of duty, but whoever reported back to the capital in a hurry seemed to be suspicious of him.

He didn't want to make it difficult for Li Guogong and others, so Wei Ren simply took the initiative and said: "The theory of Bei Rong's heart attack, please Li Guo Gongbao and Your Majesty, to clarify my innocence."

Li Guogong nodded solemnly.

General Zuo said from the side: "Yes, it was His Majesty who took General Wei away from the deserted village in person, so he must be the one who understands the situation best."

Wei Ren picked up the portrait of the old King Khan of Beirong, looked at it, and then put it down with a sneer: "Please, Duke Li, present this portrait to His Majesty. Please also ask Jingzhong to fight against Beirong, Especially the old generals and veterans who have fought against the Wushu clan who started as King Beirong, look, there was such a person back then."

General Zuo nodded: "That's right, this picture doesn't look like the King of Beirong at all, it's his father, he's coaxing ghosts."

Then he enthusiastically said: "Then I will also show this picture to the soldiers in the northwest - they know more about the tribes of Beirong."

As soon as the words fell, Li Guogong and General Chang looked at him speechlessly: This old Zuo is good at everything, just too real.Wei Ren sent this picture back to the capital in order to take the initiative to express his stance, to prove his innocence.But in the Northwest, it should be suppressed and not publicized, so as not to disturb the soldiers' hearts, how can they talk about it with pictures.

It is the pictures that the Beirong people in Tongcheng deliberately spread, and they have to be confiscated, so that no one can discuss them.

General Zuo came to his senses after being explained.

However, Duke Li still reminded Wei Jian: "This matter is special, I'm afraid some soldiers will have doubts in the end. It's always the most difficult to clarify these rumors, you need to be mentally prepared."

Wei Ren nodded.

General Chang added: "But we in the northwest can still hold back, the difficulty is in the capital, I'm afraid some villains will take the opportunity to chew their tongues, or come up with some bad ideas like 'return you to the capital to avoid suspicion'. General Wei should write a letter home and ask Lin Shangshu and others to speak for you in court."

They didn't want Wei Ren to be transferred back to the capital because of unfounded rumors.

In terms of personal martial arts, it is best for Wei Ren to be a vanguard. If it is replaced by him, will it be the same as before, and the officials who directly faced the King of Beirong were hacked like big melons?

Sure enough, the news spread back to the capital, causing an uproar.

Gao Qiyu was most concerned about the Northwest War, and when he heard the shocking news, he rushed to the Tai Hospital immediately.

He was the first to come: Although Zhou Liheng had just heard about this, but he is now on duty in the household department, and was left behind by the emperor to listen to the summary of the war in the imperial study, and Eunuch Huamei was still waiting in front of the imperial court and couldn't leave.

Gao Qiyu, on the other hand, immediately skipped work from the Ministry of Industry, and instead of watching Western technicians study blueprints to make firearms, he went straight to Tai Hospital.

I came here to tell Lin Jiang: Before you knew it, an important elder brother suddenly appeared!

Lin Jiang was seldom shocked and speechless, this was the first time, and he couldn't help sighing in his heart after reacting: King Beirong, this is an absolute ruthless person. Use his father who died early as a shield.

He also recognized his relatives on the spot, I really don't know how he came up with this idea.

And this strategy is really vicious and precise, Wei Ren's background is indeed an inexplicable mystery.

The operation of the king of Beirong to move his father out immediately had a certain effect, at least it can fool the simple people of Beirong.

Firstly, they don’t believe that their god-king would use the reputation of the old Khan (posthumous) to fake it; secondly, they are emotionally unwilling to believe that their god-like king would turn around and run away after being frightened by a young general.

If this is due to the shock of seeing his relatives suddenly and the love for his younger brother, so he left without a fight, it would be a good explanation.

The confidence of the Beirong people re-strengthened: Our Beirong is still powerful, even the clansmen who were kidnapped by Da Zhou are very fierce, did they kill a lieutenant without seeing him with a knife?This kind of fierce person really can't be from Dazhou, but from Beirong.

Lin Jiang, who was far away in the capital, laughed angrily when he heard this kind of argument. Why does this Beirong person have the meaning of a certain country in his previous life.

Anything good must belong to their country.

The emperor sneered when he heard this and commented: "I knew from the beginning that if the king of Beirong was just a brave man with strong force, he would not be able to do such a thing. Sure enough, it is not a good person who can unify Beirong. !" He also killed two birds with one stone, while clearing his own name, while shaking the morale of Da Zhou's army.

The emperor also specially asked Lin Jiang to ask: "Do you think the blood test is accurate?"

Prince Shao was beside him, and he was obviously shocked by Bei Rong, so he couldn't help saying: "Yes, if the relative test is accurate, instead of letting rumors spread, it's better to take the initiative and let them go to the city to call for battle, drip blood to confess their relatives to the world Dabai."

Lin Jiang shook his head, telling the emperor that this idea was impossible.

Not to mention that the King of Bei Rong came up with such a desperate plan, he would definitely not recognize his relatives with a drop of blood, even if it is a drop of blood, if the two of them have the same blood type, they will be compatible, and Wei Ren can't really recognize his ancestors Guizong' go back to Beirong.

Lin Jiang thought bitterly: Well, this is also an upgrade. Wei Ren has changed from an official of the Great Zhou Dynasty to a prince of Beirong, and he can be a princess in his lifetime.

Seeing that she denied the idea, King Shao gave up angrily.

He knew that Lin Jiang must want to break this situation the most, otherwise, rumors and rumors would confuse people, and Wei Ren's career in the future would be cast in a shadow.

Sure enough, I heard Lin Jiang say to the emperor: "King Beirong's slanderous words, to shake the morale of the army, is probably the second intention. He should want to arouse His Majesty's suspicion of Wei Ren."

The emperor sneered, "Then he is dreaming."

The king of Beirong didn't know the emperor after all, he had the confidence and bearing that an emperor should have.For example, if he can use a girl like Lin Jiang as an imperial physician, he dares to give her the position of court director. For example, Wei Ren was promoted and reused by him all the way. The emperor let him take charge of the Beijing camp, so he naturally believed in him.

Lin Jiang did not pin all her hopes on the emperor's trust.

It's good that the emperor is willing to believe it, but it's definitely not a good thing to let the rumors go on.

After the corruption case in the Beijing camp, Wei Ren rectified the Beijing camp, but he definitely offended many veteran nobles in the capital.

Lin Jiang sat quietly in the Tai Hospital for a while, and suddenly smiled: Are we going to fight a public opinion war?

In the final analysis, her job is to earn reputation points.Regarding the matter of how to become famous, the King of Beirong has to go back a little bit.

When Wei Ren received the letter from home, he couldn't help laughing.

Lin Jiang wrote to him: "Just take care of the affairs of the Northwest, and leave the affairs of the capital to me." After that, he wrote many short stories about his parents, such as the fact that they all fell out of the heat this summer. With little hair, it is finally getting better now that the hot summer season in the capital has passed, and finally the hair is getting thicker.

Wei Ren reluctantly read the family letter several times.

He was really homesick.

However, although he believed that Lin Jiang could stabilize public opinion in the capital, he still planned to do more in the northwest, so that Lin Jiang's pressure would be less.

Coincidentally, now Da Zhou's watchtower outside Tongcheng has been repaired.

Now Wei Ren's daily actions are to get up every day, then go to the observation deck and start practicing firearms.

The watchtower of Dazhou was not built very close to Tongcheng. After all, if it was within the range of bows and arrows, during the process of repairing, the Beirong soldiers would stand on the top of the city and shoot with bows and arrows as targets.

So the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty built the watchtower out of the range of the bows and arrows of the soldiers of the Northern Rong Dynasty.But unfortunately for Beirong, this watchtower is within the range of firearms.

The court of the Great Zhou Dynasty could not develop siege guns in a short period of time, but ordinary firearms were continuously shipped in: there were no wars in the previous 20 years, and the Ministry of War of the Great Zhou Dynasty still had a lot of stocks.

Not to mention the new firearms and technology that have come in by sea in recent years.

Never underestimate the ability of Tuchao's dismantling technology.

The firearms and guns that Western technicians can make can be quickly deciphered by the old craftsmen of the Ministry of War who originally studied firearms.

Wei Ren's daily job now is to demonstrate the power of firearms to the two armies.

The defenders of Beirong were initially blinded by firearms, and there was a wave of damage.Later, he simply stopped showing his head in the city.

General Zuo still sent people to engage in public opinion wars.

The Beirong people naturally wanted to scold Da Zhou for robbing their clansmen, and General Zuo sent someone to scold them back: Your so-called god-kings are lying all over their mouths, it’s not because they saw their relatives, it’s because they saw this firearm that they fled in fright !Haven't you all seen the power of this firearm now?

The two sides scolded again.

Besides, the soldiers of Bei Rong were envious of the headache caused by the firearms, so they wanted to grab a wave of firearms at night, and even found out where Da Zhou kept the firearms.

It's a pity that Wei Ren was a fishing law enforcement officer back then, and he could catch Wang Ziteng, let alone Bei Rong.

The firearms storage site detected by the Beirong people was simply a trap.A Beirong team sent out from Tongcheng to attack the firearms depot got nothing, not to mention that they were made dumplings.

Half a month after King Beirong's theory of punishing the heart spread, a large-scale battle broke out between the two armies again.

King Beirong led his crowd out of Tongcheng, tentatively trying to fight Da Zhou.

For Dazhou, fighting a war of attrition is certainly an advantage, but without Tongcheng, there is one biggest disadvantage: Beirong can retreat to Tongcheng at any time.

In terms of mobility, no one in this world can match the cavalry of Beirong.They can rush out of Tongcheng and rush back in time.

The generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty could only intercept their tail team each time.

It's just that this time of fighting, the unexpected sequelae of Bei Rong King appeared: the loyal lieutenant beside him was heartbroken when he saw Wei Ren, like a shepherd greeting a lost lamb with tears.

Come back quickly, this is your home.

Even rushing up to fight at close range, there is no killing intent at all.

And Wei Ren stopped his knife when he saw the lieutenant beside King Bei Rong running towards him without killing intent, and quickly captured him alive.

King Beirong: ...Really, there is a pig teammate who is more ruthless than a wolf-like opponent.

Thinking of the left lieutenant who rushed towards Wei Ren last time, and then disappeared immediately, King Beirong was very tired: my two lieutenants, one went up to die, and the other went up to see himself.

I saw that the right deputy general was captured by Wei Ren, his hands were cut behind his back and tied like a hen, but he didn't care about his own safety, he just yelled at the Beirong King from a distance: "Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely persuade the little prince to return." We Beirong."

The two armies have been fighting each other for a long time, and some words are still intelligible to each other, such as Bei Rong, such as Dawang, such as persuading surrender.

Although the right deputy general said this in the local language of Beirong, most of the soldiers on the Da Zhou side could understand most of it.

Moreover, he has a loud and hoarse voice, which is extremely powerful.

At that moment, both armies fell silent.

King Beirong almost had a cerebral hemorrhage on the spot: ...forget it, I can only treat you as dead.

And Wei Ren also gained a lot of attention because of this sentence, and there is no lack of suspicious eyes from the generals of the Great Zhou.It made Wei Ren rarely annoyed, he tore off the animal skin sewn on the general's armor, and tried to stuff it into his mouth.

Unexpectedly, the general turned his head, and with eagerness in his eyes, he opened his mouth on his own initiative.

Wei Ren was in the same mood as Bei Rong Wang.

The general told him with a distressed expression of seeing a child who had gone astray, that this man believed the words of King Beirong from the bottom of his heart, and regarded him as a member of his tribe, even a member of the royal family of Beirong.

Seeing him open his mouth, Wei Ren blocked his mouth firmly, thinking: Although he has never fought a direct battle, after watching these few months, he can see that the Beirong King is just like a wolf, fierce but not lacking in cunning. cruel.

But the two lieutenants around him are not as many as him, one is as fast as a wild pig, and the other is as stubborn as an old cow.

Wei Ren then told Li Guogong and others what he was thinking.

"After all, the foundation is thin."

Li Guogong said with emotion: "Our Great Zhou has a hundred years of experience, but the one who divides and reunites the Beirong is the king, and the current Beirong king is only 40 years old. Rong, it took only 20 years."

"But no matter how talented he is, he can't make up for the shortfall of the day. He has fought all the way, so how can he lead Beirong to develop the people's livelihood?"

"Nowadays, sea transportation has been released in Dazhou, and all kinds of firearms are emerging in an endless stream. Western missionaries came to Dazhou with a new calendar and all kinds of weird foreign gadgets, just to add new oil to our bright light."

"Bei Rong is not the case. Their understanding of firearms is probably still in the battle with us in Dazhou 20 years ago. At that time, they didn't know firearms. They rode horses to the firearms pulled on the cart The mouth rushed up—and finally lost the helmet and unarmored in a very embarrassing situation.”

"In the past 20 years, they will end their internal strife. In terms of national strength, I'm afraid it will not be as good as before. How many talents will they have?"

General Chang and others nodded beside him: King Bei Rong led these two lieutenants, who were far inferior to him in terms of military quality and personal ability.

Thinking about it, there is only the word loyalty.

But for the emperor, it is natural to choose loyal and capable subordinates, otherwise the loyal idiots will only make trouble for him backwards.

Doesn't King Beirong understand this truth?

No, he understands, it's just that there is no one in Beirong for him to choose.

As the new king of Beirong royal court, he had only been on the throne for two or three years, and he still relied on mythology to fool people, making the people of Beirong think that he was the reincarnation of the god of war, so he was invincible, and all the tribes surrendered wherever he went.

Simple people don't know that the god king is fake, doesn't he know it himself?

False will be guilty.

The king of Bei Rong must not trust the soldiers of the other tribes who have gathered over the years, this Bei Rong is not monolithic at all.

General Chang suddenly said: "General Wei, can I bother you to seal the seal in private and give it to Your Majesty, the captured Northern Rong right-handed general will not be escorted to Beijing, but will stay here first, let's have a good trial, we can't say Dig up useful big news."

He wanted to disintegrate Beirong from within the people.

Wei Ren also meant the same thing, otherwise he wouldn't have faced the doubtful eyes of the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and would not have killed him, but just captured him alive.

General Zuo rolled up his sleeves: "Let me do it. I have to smash all his teeth into pieces. Let's see if he says anything!"

General Chang rolled his eyes: "Then he really didn't say it, this kind of stubborn man is not afraid of pain and death." He looked at Wei Ren, showing an old fox's smile: "Indeed, General Wei, as a 'family member' Moved with emotion, I'm afraid I can ask more news."

Wei Ren smiled wryly and said: "Yes, after all, I am his own person who he wants to bring back to Beirong." Then he cupped his hands to Li Guogong and others: "I also invite some generals to testify for me at that time. , I am dedicating myself to the country to persuade the Bei Rong generals to surrender, not because of any personal friendship."

Li Guogong and the others nodded repeatedly, and at the same time held a lot of sympathy in their hearts.

General Zuo also directly swears: "Oh, it's really xx's xx, this is a good time to fight, and General Xiaowei even picked up a father."
