After being exiled, I led my whole family to rebel.

Chapter 259 Sending clothes thousands of miles away
As soon as the meeting ended, Zhao Qiaonian and Daniu grabbed Fang Xun, and they went to a secluded place. Only then did Zhao Qiaonian dare to ask the truth: "Young master of the Fang family, you study a lot and have been following the city lord for a long time. , please analyze for us, why does the city lord keep leaving us brothers alone and not give us things to do? He doesn't let us do the siege, and he doesn't let us do the logistics. What does this mean? "

Daniel also said anxiously: "We brothers originally wanted to ask the city lord directly, but the city lord is not what he used to be, and we don't have the confidence to disturb the city lord rashly... Young Master of the Fang family, just look at us For the sake of being exiled together, please make it clear that we brothers are really stupid and cannot guess what the city lord is thinking. "

Seeing that they were all looking at him with puzzled expressions, Fang Xun smiled slightly and patted Zhao Qionnian on the shoulder: "Brother Zhao, don't worry. Brothers, don't think too much. How could the city lord leave you alone? It's just that you can't worry about it, brothers." Well, those of us who work for the city lord now have one requirement, that is, they must at least graduate from the intermediate literacy class. I guess the city lord is planning to start universal education immediately, and you will have to go to class. After you have completed the class and graduated, I will make arrangements for you. Things to do.”

"Class?" Daniel suddenly felt as if he were mourning for his heir, "You want to study and read again?"

Zhao Qiaonian recalled how Xu Zhenying took everyone to class on the road to exile last year, "Should we still learn those four arithmetic operations and pinyin?"

Daniel exclaimed: "It's over, I have long forgotten what I learned last year!"

Fang Xun then smiled and said: "That should be the case. Therefore, before you graduate from the intermediate class, the city lord will not arrange specific things for you. You can regard the graduation of this intermediate class as Jinshi of the Great Zhou Dynasty. This is not an exam. How can you arrange things easily if you are a Jinshi?"

Da Niu said anxiously: "But we are just a little stronger in our hands and feet. What kind of things do we need to learn to help the city lord fight?"

"Learn, you have to learn!" Fang Xun didn't know what he thought of, and sighed with emotion, "I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, the city lord is indeed different from what he used to be, and we can't compare with when he was exiled and sold soap. Back then, every time the city lord attacked As a city, we have pushed forward universal education against all opinions, so now almost everyone in Jinzhou Prefecture is literate. Think about it, how many talented people do you think the city lord has? General, everyone in Jinzhou Prefecture is literate. They have drills in the morning, cultural classes in the afternoon, and actual combat exercises in the evening. The soldiers trained in this way are all capable of both civil and military skills. How do you think you compare to them? ?”

These words made Zhao Qiaonian and Daniel's faces turn as white as paper.

In this way, they have no advantage at all under Xu Zhenying!

"I was also thinking about the friendship in the past, so I spoke more sincerely. If you hadn't relied on the friendship with the city lord on the road of exile, your current level would probably only be a soldier of Jinzhou Prefecture at most! Not to mention being in the same room with the city lord for discussions! Do you know that no one can even get in through the door of the city lord’s study?”

Zhao Qiaonian immediately clasped his fists: "Thank you, Mr. Fang, for telling the truth! We are very grateful that you can tell us the truth!"

Daniel also said: "Brother Zhao is right. If Mr. Fang hadn't woken up, we might still be in a daze and not know what happened."

Fang Xun hurriedly helped Zhao Qiaonian, "Just don't blame me. But the city lord is a nostalgic person, so she must be willing to give you a chance. Just wait until the education department is in place. The Yuan government will definitely launch universal education immediately. You must study hard and get good grades in culture, and you will have nothing to worry about when the time comes."

Several people immediately and sincerely thanked Fang Xun for his guidance.

After Fang Xun left, Da Zhuang touched his head with a look of pain on his face: "Oh my God, why do you have to learn those damn four arithmetic operations again? Sister Xu can't open a back door for us and let us become generals or something like that?" ?"

Zhao Qiaonian frowned: "Come on, haven't you noticed it during the past two days of meetings?"

"What do you see?"

"The city lord has many talented people under his command, but we big bosses are nothing! We couldn't understand at all during the meeting, but look at the soldiers under the city lord. Not only are they eloquent, but they can also pick up on what the city lord is saying. , when it comes to the art of war, we are even more eloquent. We are just like a bunch of rough guys sitting there. If the city lord asks people like us to serve as soldiers, who can obey us? "

"Brother Zhao, what you said is too unpleasant."

Zhao Qiaonian glared at the brothers under his hands, "Just tell me whether it's true or not?"

Several people were silent.

Zhao Qionnian's eyes were bright, and his expression was unprecedentedly serious: "It is said that once the emperor has one court, the system of the Zhou Dynasty will not work with the city lord. Since we want to make contributions, we must follow other people's rules! It's not just studying. Do you know how to read? It’s hard to find our brothers?”

Daniel opened his mouth, wanting to refute, but glanced at Zhao Qionian, but didn't have the courage to speak out.

Zhao Qiaonian looked at the lights in Xu Zhenying's room and said fiercely: "Damn it, isn't it just studying? Just fuck him!"

————————————————————

Fancheng general Zhu Kui, who was thousands of miles away, received a letter from Qianzhou Prefecture.

The letter was sealed with wax and his name was written on it. I don't know who handed it in.

At this moment, he couldn't help frowning as he looked at the letter.

After a moment, he handed the letter to the staff beside him, "Master Zheng, take a look at it too. It's funny, the rebels in Qianzhou Prefecture invited me to send troops to attack King Li."

The staff glanced at ten lines and read them quickly, and then said with a smile: "The rebels in Qianzhou Prefecture are really interesting. They actually want to unite us to send troops to attack King Li. By then, they will form a cornering force, which will be enough to make King Li drink. It’s the pot.”

Zhu Kui raised his eyebrows, "Why, Master Zheng agrees with this move?"

"Why not? There will be a battle between King Li and us sooner or later. We have 50,000 soldiers in Fancheng. By then, we only need to leave 5,000 to garrison. The remaining 45,000 will be combined with the rebels, which will be 60,000 or 70,000. people."

"But King Li has hundreds of thousands of troops under his command!"

The master chuckled lightly, "My general, that's just a bunch of rabble! Prince Li and I made their fortunes as refugees, and most of their subordinates are refugees. They don't have much of a climate, they just rely on the number of people!"

"Can you cooperate with the rebels? I'm afraid His Highness Prince Ming will blame you!"

The master stroked his beard and smiled with an inscrutable look on his face: "General, it is said that it is easy to invite gods but difficult to send them away. The reason why we march all the way to fight is not just for a little bit of territory."

Zhu Kui didn't understand what he meant.

The master then pointed to a point on the map and said, "The territory of King Li and King Li is close to the Qianzhou Prefecture. What if we destroy King Li first and then the rebels in Qianzhou? Then the situation in the southwest will collapse instantly, and we can also help His Highness Prince Ming." I have brought back several cities. With this skill, the general will be granted the title of marquis and prime minister."

Zhu Kui looked carefully but hesitated: "But we only have more than 40,000 soldiers. How can we capture so many cities? Why don't we send a letter to the King and ask him for reinforcements?"

The master frowned, and then shook his head: "That's not right. If you just report the news back, then it will only be a report. If we quietly join forces with the rebels to seize the territory of King Li, we will conquer the city. Which one is easier? Seriously, please tell me, General."

Zhu Kui understood immediately.

"I heard that Xu Zhenying only occupied two cities, Qianzhou and Jinzhou, and he didn't have many soldiers under his command. Why not first agree to cooperate with the rebels in Jinzhou Prefecture, and then join forces to occupy the big and small Li Wang On your own territory, act with camera.”

Zhu Kui was persuaded by his staff, "Okay, let's do what the master wants!"

November is the middle of winter.

Two major events happened in Jinzhou Mansion.

One is that Jiang Yongkang led 20,000 native brothers to take the initiative to attack, taking advantage of the night to break through two or three counties in Liwang and Liwang, and opened a gap in the south with lightning speed. Then Zhu Kui also took action as agreed, and the two parties approached the hinterland, triggering a crazy counterattack by King Li and King Li.

The war became tense for a while.

Second, Xu Zhenying sent people to deliver 50,000 cotton-padded clothes and cowpox vaccine to the north. Led by Qiu Juniang herself and escorted by a hundred guards, the group crossed mountains and rivers to reach the command of Zhao Yi in the north.

There are many lights, Zhao Yi's camp has ten posts and five troops and one sentry, and all entrances and exits are guarded. There are several people guarding Zhao Yi's tent, so tight that not even a fly can fly out.

But the team delivering vaccines and cotton-padded clothes stopped five kilometers away from the camp.

There was only one person who delivered the letter, and that was Qiu Juniang. At this moment, she was standing alone in the tent, surrounded by more than a dozen fierce-looking generals.

But she didn't panic at all, standing among them with her back straight. Her short hair was neatly pulled into a bun, without any accessories, and she looked cool and handsome, allowing everyone in the room to look at her.

This little lady didn't seem to be afraid of them.

This somewhat frustrated the generals in the north.

"You said..." General Zhao Yi is nearly forty years old, with a body full of tendons, piercing eyes, and an evil spirit, "You were sent by the rebel Xu Zhenying from Jinzhou Prefecture?"

Qiu Juniang's voice was resounding: "That's right. My master is Xu Zhenying, a traitor from Jinzhou Prefecture and Qianzhou Prefecture."

"How dare you!" Zhao Yi shouted angrily, "How dare the traitor run wild in my camp to the north and really bully the useless people of my court?! Come here, push this traitor down and kill him!"

At this moment, Bai Ci'en immediately stood up and begged: "General Zhao, I know this person. This person is just a female doctor from Jinzhou Prefecture. She is not a rebel herself. How dare she travel thousands of miles to our military camp? It’s something important, why don’t we listen to what she has to say first!”

Someone below immediately said angrily: "By the way, I almost forgot that our General Bai was captured by these rebels. From your tone, could it be that you have friendship with those rebels?"

Bai Ci'en pushed back with all his strength: "We can't be close to each other, we just know each other better than you guys."

Zhao Yi glanced at the general who had spoken to him before, and then glanced at Bai Cien, "She herself believes that rebels are the main ones, so she must be a rebel too!"

"Minnu is a female doctor in Jinzhou Prefecture. After the city lord invaded Jinzhou Prefecture, she did a lot of good things for the people. Therefore, we people in Jinzhou Prefecture are willing to serve her as our chief. If the general wants to kill him because of a title I am afraid that no one in Jinzhou Prefecture will be able to escape."

Zhao Yi was stunned for a moment, then sneered: "What a clever mouth."

He threw the greeting card casually on the table again, "Having said that, what are the rebels in the southwest looking for the general of the imperial court? Are they here to spy on the military situation or to assassinate the general?"

Not only Zhao Yi, but also a dozen people under his account were also interested.

After so many years of fighting, this is the first time that Qianli has taken the initiative to kill someone.

Instead of hiding in his own territory, the rebel actually came to the enemy's tent.

"General Zhao is joking. Who in this world doesn't know that General Zhao has unparalleled martial arts skills and is a great minister of the Zhou Dynasty. How could General Zhao kill his savior?"

"A lifesaver?" Zhao Yi twitched the corners of his lips, "I can't remember when my life was saved by rebels?"

Qiu Juniang didn't beat around the bush, she directly clasped her fists and said, "At the request of my city lord, our Jinzhou government will give free of charge 5,000 cotton-padded clothes to the soldiers in the north, as well as smallpox vaccine for everyone!"

The room became quiet for a moment.

Qiu Juniang looked around, and then she remembered that the female student who was showing off the cotton-padded clothes with her just now was detained outside the military camp, so she had to unbutton her outer shirt. When the people in the room saw her suddenly undressing, they were furious: "What do you want to do, you witch? ! Are you trying to seduce our general?"

Qiu Juniang was stunned for a moment, then blinked, and took off her cotton-padded clothes and put them on the table, "This cotton-padded coat is made by us and is only available in Jinzhou Prefecture. You can take a look. With these cotton-padded clothes, the soldiers don't have to risk their lives." Fighting in the cold can greatly reduce the chance of soldiers freezing to death. Our city lord said that the generals who resisted the Tatars in the north are the heroes of everyone living in this land, whether they are rebels or not, he is grateful to them. Throwing your head and blood of kindness!”

There was still silence in the room.

Everyone just felt that they heard wrong.

This rebel came all the way here to give them cotton-padded clothes?
Zhao Yi spoke first: "Send the cotton-padded clothes to me for a look!"

Someone below immediately tried to dissuade him: "General, think twice, maybe there is poison in it!"

"She can dress like a woman, but I can't? Bring it to me and see!"

The man refused, "Why don't you let me see it first?"

Qiu Juniang sneered in her heart and said crisply: "It's just a cotton coat, you don't need to be so afraid. If you are really worried, why not let me..."

Before Qiu Juniang could finish her words, she saw the man piercing the cotton-padded clothes with a dagger. Sure enough, all the cotton was scattered, which made her eyelids twitch.

The soldier completely ignored Qiu Juniang's darkened face and picked up all the cotton again, "General Zhao, this one is non-toxic, doesn't mean the others are non-poisonous!"

Qiu Juniang finally couldn't bear her bad temper anymore, "I said, do you know how expensive poison is? Just take the most common arsenic, which costs half a penny or a tael, and it has to be taken orally in large quantities. Where can I give it to you? Looking for 5,000 people?”

Zhao Yi coughed and scolded the young general, "Go away."

Then he said to Qiu Juniang: "This rebel in Southwest Mansion is quite interesting. What is his intention in wooing us so much? Could it be that he wants to drive a wedge between Your Majesty and me?"

Qiu Juniang smiled coldly, "To be honest, is there anything left to separate between the general and His Majesty? Nowadays, the imperial court is no longer in arrears with military pay. I am afraid that the soldiers under your command have not died at the hands of the Tatars." Even if you go up, you will be starved to death by your own people!”

"Don't confuse the public with your monstrous words! You bitch, you have such a strong mouth! If you dare to talk nonsense again, you will be dragged out for Fa-rectification immediately!"

"Is this nonsense? You generals know what you are doing, so why would you get angry at me, a Taoist woman?"

Zhao Yi knocked on the table, "You mean, these five thousand cotton-padded clothes are Xu..."

Bai Cien immediately responded: "Xu Zhenying."

After saying this, even Zhao Yi was a little confused, "Well, Xu Zhenying sent someone to give it to us?"

Qiu Juniang nodded, "Yes, we have made hundreds of thousands of cotton-padded clothes in total. Most of them have been sold, and a small part has been left to our own soldiers in Jinzhou Prefecture. Some of them have been sent to you." Come on. This cotton coat is very good. You won’t feel cold at all when you wear it. It’s also very light and doesn’t hinder your ability to charge into battle.”

"This rebel in Jinzhou Prefecture is so weird that he actually gave us clothes. What on earth do you think, the city lord?"

Qiu Juniang became a little impatient when asked, "I have just said it once, but none of you believe it. The city lord said that you are fighting the Tatars not only for the Zhou Dynasty, but also for all the people. If it weren't for you, the north would be empty, and the Tatars would be empty. Zi has long marched into Burning to rob, and the Great Zhou Dynasty has long been reduced to a war. The city lord said that the heroes could not be allowed to bleed and shed tears, so he asked us to send some cotton clothes to let the soldiers barely resist the cold winter. There is not much cotton production this year, only five for the time being. Thousands of pieces. When the cotton fields are expanded next year, we will send another batch."

Zhao Yi took a deep breath calmly.

The remaining people seemed to be moved by the sentence "Heroes cannot be allowed to bleed and sweat." They sat there in a daze and didn't know what to think.

"I asked you what are you afraid of? The city lord kindly gave you five thousand cotton clothes for the winter. Do you know how much these five thousand cotton clothes are worth? But you look like a weasel giving a chicken a New Year greeting with no good intentions. What do you want me to say? , If you don’t want it, forget it, I’ll take this cart of cotton-padded clothes and sell them for tens of thousands of taels of silver.”

"Mrs. Qiu, that's not what we meant." Zhao Yi was convinced at first. He really couldn't figure out what these people meant, so he could only pretend to be gentle on his face, "It's just that the matter is very important. After all, If we, the enemy, take your things rashly, what will happen if the court convicts me of collaborating with the enemy?"

Qiu Juniang seemed not to have thought of this, and her face turned slightly pale.

Zhao Yi said: "How about this. Mrs. Qiu goes down to rest for the time being. Let us discuss it overnight and give you an answer tomorrow."

Qiu Juniang could only retreat temporarily.
