The Red Chamber: The Rise of the Lin Mansion

At this moment, two scholars came out from the B-size building on the opposite side. One of the scholars pointed in this direction, and the other, a slightly fat scholar, stepped over and asked Lin Yun: "Are you Lin Shizi who was praised by the head of the hall today?"

"No."

"Uh."

The fat scholar was dumbfounded by Lin Yun's words, while Ding Yuannan laughed out loud.

Hearing the laughter, the fat scholar immediately realized that he was being tricked by Lin Yun, and he scolded in embarrassment: "What a prisoner, how dare you play tricks on me, do you know who I am?"

Lin Yun had long recognized that this guy was the guy who had laughed at him for running slowly when he was running laps, and now he had the opportunity to play tricks on him, so naturally he couldn't let it go easily.

He said jokingly: "You can't be my son, can you?"

The fat scholar was furious when he heard the words, he raised his hand and slapped Lin Yun in the face.

Lin Yun had been guarding against his move for a long time. As soon as the opponent raised his hand, he quickly reached out and grabbed the opponent's arm, twisted hard, and then he heard Kacha, and the fat man's arm was directly dislocated by him.

"what!"

The fat scholar let out a scream, and another scholar rushed over and shouted at Lin Yun: "Do you know who he is? How dare you lay hands on him?"

Qin Xiaoting ran out of the house after hearing the sound and saw that the screaming person was a fat scholar. He immediately smiled happily and said, "Feng Xiang, what's wrong with you? Could it be that you broke your arm while walking?"

The fat scholar held back his curse and said: "You imprisoned Qin Xiaoting, hurry up and connect it for me."

Qin Xiaoting wasn't angry either, he went forward and grabbed the fat man's arm and pinched it a few times. Suddenly he twisted hard, and he heard a click, and even restored the dislocated part for the fat man.

The fat scholar pointed to Lin Yun with his left hand and said, "Just wait for me, this matter between us is endless."

Lin Yun pretended to be afraid and asked: "You won't go to your adults to help you fight, will you?"

The fat man gritted his teeth and said, "Why do I need someone else to do my own revenge? When my hand is healed, I will definitely beat you to the ground."

Qin Xiaoting: "Feng Xiang, if you want to trouble Brother Yun, you have to pass me first."

Feng Xiang: "Qin Xiaoting, what do you mean? Do you want to break up with me?"

Qin Xiaoting: "We are all classmates, why bother to make troubles to hurt feelings."

The fat scholar still wanted to refute a few words, but Lin Yun said first: "After you recover, I will accompany you to do a few tricks. However, your martial arts are so poor, you probably won't be my opponent if you fight again."

The fat scholar wanted to say a few harsh words, but he heard a light cough behind him. He looked back, and was so scared that he shrank his neck immediately, and ran away quickly with his companion.

...

The coughing person was that Sun Zhangde, and Lin Yun was about to dodge like a fat scholar, but he heard Sun Zhangde's face darken, and said: "Fighting and fighting in the academy, bullying classmates for no reason, Lin Shizi will record a serious demerit, and punish him with discipline points." Five."

Lin Yun said urgently: "Sun Zhangde, it was he who provoked me for no reason, and I was forced to do it."

Sun Zhangde: "Don't obey the rules, right? Five points will be added as a penalty. From tomorrow onwards, I will go to the toilet with Qin Xiaoting and the others."

"I~"

Lin Yun still wanted to argue, but was dragged back into the room by Qin Xiaoting and Ding Yuannan.

After entering the room, Lin Yun said angrily: "This Sun Zhangde is so overbearing. He didn't even give me a chance to explain."

Ding Yuannan: "Brother Yun, fighting is strictly prohibited in the academy, if caught, you will be punished severely. You are lucky if you are not expelled."

Lin Yun thought to himself, "It's better to fire me. How can I see anyone if the news about cleaning out the latrine spreads?"

Then, he asked Qin Xiaoting who the fat scholar was.

Qin Xiaoting: "His name is Feng Xiang, he is the nephew of Feng Lang, the commander of Youwuwei."

Lin Yun's heart skipped a beat when he heard the words, "Qin Xiaoting is the son of the Commander Zuo Wuwei of the Beijing Camp, and Feng Xiang is the nephew of the Commander You Wuwei, so this academy will soon become a certificate of honor for the generals of the Beijing Camp.

"Lu Xingzhi is really powerful. He used the quota of an academician to recruit and surrender most of the generals in the capital for the emperor. In this way, within three to five years, Wang Ziteng will become the bare commander."

Afternoon, no time.

When Lin Yun walked into the school again, he saw two servants setting up a large screen-like picture. Several scholars stood in front of the picture and pointed, as if discussing something.

Ding Yuannan smiled at Lin Yun: "Brother Yun, maybe the head of the mountain will come to teach us later."

Lin Yun asked curiously: "The head of the mountain will teach as long as he teaches. What are they doing with a map?"

Qin Xiaoting: "Professor Shanchang's coursework is policy theory. Since he asked people to bring maps, he must have asked us to discuss border issues."

Ding Yuannan: "Let's go, let's go over and look at the pictures."

...

The three squeezed into the front of the crowd and looked at the map. The signs on the map turned out to be the entire territory of Annan and Siam, as well as the southern border between Annan and Dachu.

After reading it, Qin Xiaoting asked doubtfully, "Could it be that the court wants to use troops against Annan?"

Ding Yuannan: "It's unlikely. Now that the court is short of money and food, there is no spare money to fight the Annan people. Besides, in the mountainous location of Annan, if you send an army of 10,000+, you don't need to fight. Just because the climate is not acclimatized, there will be Amazing casualties."

Lin Yun glanced at Ding Yuannan and said to himself that this guy knew Annan quite well. It seemed that his desire to give up writing and join the army was not a temporary idea.

Qin Xiaoting: "The King of Nan'an has an army of 10,000+. It's really disappointing that even a small Annan can't handle it."

As soon as he said this, everyone immediately echoed him.

When all the scholars were arguing, a person suddenly stood up and said loudly: "I heard that a few days ago, the Siamese country sent envoys to the capital, saying that it was the Annan country that sent troops to harass the Siamese border many times this year. It must be the Siamese country. I couldn't bear the disturbance, so I asked for help from Da Chu."

Qin Xiaoting heard the words and said urgently: "Meng Yuan, how do you know about this?"

The scholar named Meng Yuan replied: "My uncle works in the Ministry of Rites, and he is responsible for receiving the envoys of Siam."

"I see."

"Will the court send troops?"

"It should be."

"There will definitely be no troops. Most likely, an envoy will be sent to Annan to mediate for the two of them."

Chapter 75: The Dilemma in Southern Xinjiang

Just as everyone was discussing, Lu Xingzhi walked into the school with a few books in his arms.

The scholars were about to return to their seats when Lu Xingzhi smiled and said, "No need to disperse, everyone. Today we will teach in front of Yutu."

After Lu Xingzhi finished speaking, he walked to the book and put down the book in his hand, took out a few pages from it, and smiled at the scholars: "I think everyone has seen this picture and knows that what I want to discuss with you is Annan and Problems between Siam.”

Speaking of this, Lu Xingzhi raised a few pages of paper in his hand and said: "I received a report from the court yesterday, from which I learned that King Suchai, King of Siam, sent an envoy to the court to meet the emperor, saying that the army of the Annan Kingdom repeatedly Invading and harassing the border of Siam, Suchai asked the Emperor of Chu to take the lead and send troops to teach An Nanguo a profound lesson."

When Lu Xingzhi said this, he glanced at the crowd, and then smiled and said: "Now I will give you a stick of incense time, you can ask me questions, and finally write an article on this matter, and put forward your own opinions on this matter."

When everyone heard the words, they immediately whispered to each other and started discussing with each other.

Qin Xiaoting asked Lin Yun: "Brother Yun, do you think this battle can be fought?"

Lin Yun: "Didn't Brother Yuan Nan say just now that the court lacks money, so this battle cannot be fought?"

Qin Xiaoting: "I heard that Annan is very rich. If he can get in, maybe the court can make a lot of money."

Lin Yun smiled and said: "You think too much, unless the court has a powerful navy, otherwise, it is almost impossible to defeat Annan."

Qin Xiaoting hurriedly said: "The imperial court has two fleets in southern Xinjiang, with hundreds of warships, it is not impossible to defeat Annan's navy."

Ding Yuannan: "I find it very difficult. The Chaoting navy has not fought for many years, and now it is not enough to protect itself. It is almost impossible to travel across the sea to attack Annan."

Qin Xiaoting was about to refute, but he heard Fang Hongyi ask Lu Xingzhi, "Master Shan, can I ask you a question?"

Lu Xingzhi: "Just ask."

Fang Hongyi: "I would like to ask how many combat-ready troops the imperial court has in southern Xinjiang?"

Lu Xingzhi raised his hand and said, "There are less than [-] soldiers ready to fight."

An older scholar asked anxiously: "Don't the Prince of Nan'an have 10,000+ troops under his command?"

Lu Xingzhi twisted his beard and said: "The 10,000+ army is just a mathematical figure on the books. After deducting the defenders from various places and the soldiers who are short of pay, the remaining [-] is already too much."

Ning Yue opened her mouth and asked Lu Xingzhi: "Captain, if the court orders troops to be mobilized from the capital camp to Annan, will the soldiers be able to fight?"

Lu Xingzhi: "It depends on who the leading general is, how many troops and horses are deployed, and whether the soldiers can adapt to Annan's climate. All these factors must be taken into consideration."

Ning Yue asked again: "Shan Chief, do you know who the commander of the Annan garrison is and how many troops he has under his command?"

"The commander-in-chief of the Annan garrison is called Ruan Zhongchun. He has more than ten thousand elite soldiers under his command. This man is brave and strategic, especially good at defensive operations. The Nan'an County Prince led troops and fought against this man many times, and always lost more than he won."

Hearing what Lu Xingzhi said, Ning Yue stopped asking questions and started to think.

Then several scholars asked Lu Xingzhi questions, and the content of the questions was similar to that of Ning Yue.

When everyone's questions were about the same, Lu Xingzhi asked Lin Yun who was standing in the crowd: "Lin Yun, don't you have any questions to ask?"

Lin Yun withdrew his gaze from the picture, cupped his hands at Lu Xingzhi and said, "This junior thinks that this battle should not be fought, and there is no need to fight it."

"Tell me, why shouldn't I fight? Why don't I need to fight?"

Lin Yun: "It takes a lot of effort to go on an expedition with teachers. Even if we win, it is doomed to be a miserable victory. If we lose the battle, I, Da Chu, will be hurt."

Lu Xingzhi nodded slightly, and then said: "This is impossible to fight, so what should I say if there is no need to fight?"

Lin Yun: "Sending hundreds of thousands of troops over there is naturally not feasible, but what if we send an elite army of thousands of horses over there?"

Qin Xiaoting said anxiously: "If tens of thousands of people can't win, what's the use of sending thousands over?"

Lin Yun calmly said: "These thousands of elite guests were not sent to fight in Annan, but to Siam to train the Siamese army and teach them how to fight against Annan's army."

After a pause, Lin Yun said again: "There are three advantages to doing this. First, sending thousands of elite soldiers into Siam to help them resist the Annan army can restrain the strength of the Annan army and make them have no time to look north."

"Secondly, the cost of fighting with thousands of soldiers is not very high, and Siam can fully afford it. This will not put pressure on my Dachu's finances."
