Taiping Order

Chapter 291: Decision, who dares to stop me? !

The Qilin Army set off from Zhongzhou Capital and followed the water to the Eighteen Prefectures in Jiangnan. They went down along the way, saving effort and should have been extremely fast, but because of wars everywhere and what Li Guanyi's troops did. Being promoted.

Along the way, people came to vote. The ships prepared before could only accommodate these people. Not to mention, the people were just coming to vote, which greatly reduced the speed of the Qilin Army's march speed.

When Li Guanyi left the academy, most of the disciples of the Mo family followed him, and they could use materials locally to create new simple machine ships, and they could also spend money to buy ships of all sizes.

This led to the number of people expanding significantly when they just left Zhongzhou. On the waterway, first the Mohist giant machine ship opened the way in front, and the Qilin Army flag was erected on the deck.

Behind are the Mohist government ships, then there are ordinary merchant ships, and even fishing boats, deck boats, and there are people on the ships.

This encountered another problem, that is, different ships have different travel speeds. The machine ships are driven by the machine, but the merchant ships need wind. As for the people's veneer fishing boats, they rely on manpower to hold on.

But when Li Guan was in pain, a loud laugh suddenly came from the river. The laughter was desolate and magnificent, as if connected to the world, with an indescribable sense of pride:

"The water of Canglang is clear, and I can wash my tassels."

"The water of Canglang is turbid, and I can wash my feet."

The fisherman on the fishing boat put down the fishing rod in his hand, took off his hat, and stood up where the water and sky met, but he was a man with very wide shoulders, slightly white hair, and a majestic man, sometimes suddenly there was a wind. Rise up, waves rise.

The big man soared into the air, raised his hand and saw the dragon magic appearance appear, and he kept chanting.

The blue transparent dragon circled, dispersing the strong wind. The waves on the entire river surface were surging, but many ships were stable. The slightly old man only stepped on the water and was extraordinary.

The people thought they had met the Dragon King of Water, and many people who were fishing by water had their faces pale.

Then they saw the Qilin Army general wearing Taoist robe walking out.

The old man came over and turned out to push the golden mountain and the jade pillar, but he just knelt on the ground.

The dragon behind him lowered his head and said solemnly:

"Kou Yulie, pay homage to the lord!"

"At the end, we will follow the orders of Mr. Yan Daiqing and Mr. Yuan Zhi to lead our navy soldiers to come and play together!"

Everyone who saw this scene was a little speechless. The young man who had dinner with them and had a simple and simple behavior had an indescribable spirit at this moment. Kou Yulie came early and led Qilin. The naval lieutenants are here.

"Mr. Yuan Zhi speculated that the lord had encountered such difficulties."

"But I also knew that the lord would not leave these people behind, so I sent us here. He said that although different ships had different speeds, if the main ship was the core, then the ships in different regions had captains, and the ships of all sizes were ropes. , connected by iron chains.”

"Borrowing iron chains outside, connecting the military formation inside."

"Then you can retreat as one."

"It's for this."

After the joining of the Angry Dragon King Kou Yulie, the speed of the fleet finally remained at a standard posture, but it failed to reach the theoretical limit of water transportation speed.

Because there are constant ordinary people coming when they hear the news.

The aristocratic family was furious and planned to rely on force to keep the people tough. At this time, the emperor of Zhongzhou personally ordered: "What the people do is natural, and they are the people of the world, not your people."

"Li Guanyi is my general Tiance, please don't stop him."

Because of the previous autumn hunting, the heads of the royal family were shot and killed by the powerful minister with magic weapons. The royal family was in a panic, and Ji Yanzhong, a generous elder in the grandmaster realm, was here in Zhongzhou. In the past few days, Ji Zichang has worked hard to reform the royal family and take it back. right.

The order came down for a moment, and because the powerful minister, Qin Wuhou, was too powerful and too ruthless, the soldiers of the Qilin Army would come several times when they heard that someone was going to vote here. A few days ago, the Zhao family didn't believe in evil. .

That day, the people were tightly held back and refused to let them leave.

When he saw the Qilin Army soldiers coming, he became angry. The eldest son pulled the bow and shot the untouchables, and led everyone to kill the two Qilin Army soldiers, making it impossible to prove that they had no evidence of death.

The two soldiers both have the second level of cultivation.

Ordinary army can be the commander of the sergeant only at the entry level, but in this heavy cavalry, the second genius is the combat power of a single soldier. Although they are two second genius warriors in armor, the family has enough wealth, which has seriously injured them. , but after all, he was a warrior who had experienced many fierce battles, and he escaped with heavy armor and riding a dragon horse.

On the second day, five hundred riders came in heavy armor.

Leadered by Ling Pingyang, who was a great number of cavalry generals in the world, he broke the aristocratic family and the eldest son was shot and killed. No one dared to stop him again. However, Li Guanyi's name as a powerful minister became increasingly domineering. It also spreads more and more widely.

When we passed through the waterway pass in Zhongzhou, there were many aristocratic families, nobles, generals, and even some people with good family backgrounds gathered at the pass, whispering to each other, but looked at Li Guanyi and others.

The sound of the water flowing was as loud as thunder, and the whispering sounds were silent. Everyone looked from afar and was shocked, but they saw that there was a huge Mohist ship in the waterway, with a very deep draft, even if they could not compare. The treasure ship at the upper four spirit level is also a main combat-level mechanical ship.

Behind this big ship, there are countless ships connected by iron chains, and the vast dragon magic circles in the sky. Each ship is full of people. On the head of the big ship, a war halberd pointed at the sky, and the war halberd hung above it. The scarlet flags are rolling fiercely.

Ling Pingyang led a thousand iron cavalry to rush along the riverside like thunder.

Majestic and majestic.

"My Lord comes and open the road quickly!"

Rather than saying that the Qilin Army was rumored to be encircled by the people, it was more like a general and a prince on patrol. The Zhongzhou border did not dare to stop it, so he quickly ordered Li Guan's troops to pass through, with a magnificent momentum and a reputation became increasingly greater.

But since then, it is the real test—

The territory of Yingguo is ahead.

Li Guanyi's troops led tens of thousands of households, and the ships in Zhongzhou were almost bought by Wenhe. There were also a group of Mohist students in the academy who kept sleeping and creating new institutions. Boat.

Even the requirements for the machine ship are reduced to the point where you can take people away.

The environment is not very good, but it is actually quite congested. Whenever you arrive at a place, you will immediately set up and rest, and then go on the next day. Although the speed is much slower, you can bring as many people as possible.

The number of people is increasing, and the personnel components are also mixed.

There are people who are really hard and cannot survive in the original place; but there are also those gangsters who have made trouble in the local area, owed money but did not pay it back, or made enemies in the local area, and wanted to take advantage of it. There are even loyalists from major families.

But Wei Xuancheng took it out one by one.

This guy's eyes seemed to have any magical powers, and he could find any problems, and then he followed the clues and pulled them out.

The disciples of Wang Tongfu, led by Fangzi Qiao, Du Keming, Wei Xuancheng, etc. formulated simple management rules and laws during the process. After the rectification, some thieves and those who wanted to make mistakes were found and dealt with according to the law.

And the rest of those who have made contributions will receive different rewards.

So the spies sent by the aristocratic families saw that this group of refugees who should have been regarded as a rabble were all advanced and retreated in moderation, and there was no chaos. The men worked hard, women cooked, and children gathered, and students taught literature and martial arts. '

‘The laws are strict and there is no violation of wherever they are followed’

People in aristocratic families have always had the saying that they are in the same spirit. Even if there are rifts between aristocratic families, when outsiders provoke the identity of aristocratic families, aristocratic families from all over the world will help each other.

What Li Guanyi did has shaken the root of the aristocratic family.

Therefore, when he and his party arrived at the territory of Yingguo, there had been a long time since their words were made public - "What Li Guan did was a despicable and shameless person, who brought the people to protect himself."

'It is precisely because all the heroes in the world are affectionate and righteous, and are extremely kind, that because Li Guanyi brought the people, he would not intercept him. This person was relying on the benevolent heart of the heroes in the world. , just took these people as a shield.

‘It is the heroes and famous generals who cannot bear to attack because of this, they are kindness’

‘Li Guanyi, what a villain! ’

Those who say such words are considered to have a clear idea and a good result is the cause. A famous scholar Sui Lingbo looked at it and was amazed. He immediately realized that this family said such words just to splash dirty water. I am afraid that the people under me will go too.

Sui Lingbo immediately went to the village and saw that there were already people who were already taking their families and planned to leave the village and go to join Li Guan Yi Qilin Army. The village in the village was trying to stop it, but for such a big thing, it was difficult for them to do so. Stop it.

Some people have to pass through even if they abandon their houses.

If you ask, it was Ye Chi cavalry, which was famous all over the world. Although it was a heavy armored cavalry, it was very good at galloping and rushing. Ye Chongdao had already conquered many cities and attacked the generals. I don’t know when it would come.

Sui Lingbo said: "Don't you know that Li Guanyi is a person who deceives the world and steals his reputation?"

The old farmer replied, "Oh, it's indeed promoted."

Sui Lingbo said in confusion: "Since that's the case, why do you still have to go?"

The old farmer muttered and said, "I think you are also a knowledgeable person. Let me tell you something. When I was still young, there was a well in the village. The well water was sweet and some people said it was Drinking the gods can cure all diseases."

"It must be nonsense that scammers in the world are talking about when treating all diseases, but it is true that they are good at drinking it. It is true that they have to be strong after drinking it. Everyone goes there to get water."

"But later, the men in the city said that the well water was not good, and there was some blood in it. If you drink it, it would actually damage a person's life span. Later, everyone gradually stopped fetching water there."

"But the men surrounded the well and built a large yard, and then no one could drink the good water inside."

Sui Lingbo said: "What does this mean?"

The old farmer gave him a blank look: "What the men said may not be true."

"But what the man said is bad, it doesn't necessarily mean that this thing is bad. It's just that these men in silk and satin don't want you to do anything."

“We just don’t know much.”

"We are not blind." The old farmer muttered a few words.

Sui Lingbo said: "Then aren't you afraid that you really have to claim that with the aristocratic family. Li Guan took you as a shield and didn't treat you as a human being at all?"

The old farmer laughed: "What a joke."

"It seems like we are not bullied here."

He pushed the wooden cart and used his shoulder to knock the famous scholar Sui Lingbo away, cursing: "Old scholar with a sour smell, get out of the way, don't block the way!"

Sui Lingbo was stunned and then just laughed, not caring about it.

In August of the 11th year of the Tianqi revelation, the Qilin Army and the people entered Yingguo. Among the people in Yingguo, there were refugees fleeing and trying to enter the Qilin Army. Therefore, all the officials in Yingguo were furious. Unlike Zhongzhou, the Zhongzhou bureaucratic families were concerned about The people have very low control.

However, in response to the country's requirements for the people are extremely strict and are almost not allowed to stay away from the places where they live. However, there are always various reasons that have lost their land, and the people of their families have become refugees who have no land, no property, no house, and wander around.

These people have no land, no way to cultivate the fields and grow food, cannot pay taxes, but they still have to spend money to provide disaster relief. In the past, officials of Yingguo did not like these refugees, and they were unwilling to divide the land for these refugees-

After all, this place belongs to their family.

No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!

They can't get out of their bodies.

And we cannot completely abandon it.

It just kept the level of preventing these refugees from starving to death, making them a cheap and costly labor force. But by this time, when these refugees saw the hope of life and planned to leave, they realized the problem. .

These refugees cannot be allowed to leave.

Leaving here, we go to the Eighteen Prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River, which is different from Yingguo and Chenguo. After more than ten years of war and confrontation, there are some lands that have not yet been reclaimed.

These refugees will soon become good families when they go.

Become the most important backbone of a force.

They began to mobilize their own strength, and on the one hand they began to guide public opinion and lower their voices, but they found that it was difficult to work. Then, because of fame, it was absolutely impossible to rob and kill the people, but instead they were stuck Now.

Wenhe's plan worked successfully.

Li Guan's move was clearly a way to cut off their flesh.

But they couldn't attack.

Li Guanyi crossed the river with his people, but the general of Yingguo intercepted and killed the people. As long as such a thing came out, Jiang Wanxiang would be furious the next day and sent Jiang Su to directly cut off the person who did this. .

In the Cangxi City of Yingguo, there was a general who defended the city, named Yan Baotai. He had always been harsh on the people. The aristocratic families annexed land, which was extremely serious, but he was good at disguising himself and dealing with the inspection from the Yingguo capital court.

There was nothing wrong, but this time, the Qilin Army arrived and the people under his command were in full swing. When Li Guanyi's troops passed here, he asked someone to cut off the water route and sent 5,000 troops and the Mohist government leaders, but they could not pass.

When Li Guan came out, Yan Baotai shouted:

"Where is Qin Wuhou going?"

Li Guanyi did not answer, Wen Lingjun took a step forward to reply, his voice calmly:

"My lord returns to Jiangnan. What does the general mean? Why should he stop us?"

Yan Baotai laughed loudly, but he laughed instead of answering, saying, "It turns out that he is the young master of the Wen family. Your father and I were friends back then. I drank a few more glasses of wine, but you don't recognize your uncle. Of course I know Qin Wu of the Qilin Army. The Marquis' fief is in Jiangnan."

"But this is not the place of your Qilin Army. This is the territory of my Daying Kingdom. This is the border of my Daying Kingdom. Without my lord's order, how could I let you go?!"

"Live!"

"When this general writes a book and reports it to the court. If His Majesty gives the order, I will let you leave. Otherwise, I will not be able to obey your order!"

Yan Baotai's attitude was very strong. Li Guan and the people were unwilling to fight with them. After Yan Baotai returned, he negotiated with his counselors and aides. On the one hand, he quickly sent troops and continued to send additional troops to block the road ahead. He was not allowed. Li Guanyi's troops passed.

On the one hand, it is to suppress the people under its own rule, especially those refugees.

"Even if you die, you have to die under the rule of our general."

"How can you let you go to Jiangnan?"

"You are just a cheap life. If you die, you will die. Going to reincarnate early is also a good thing, but I will be destined to be famous by you!"

Yan Baotai was angry, and the adviser asked him if he wanted to report to the court. Yan Baotai looked stern and said, "Report to the court? Now my Daying Kingdom is dealing with Chen and the Turks. If Li Guan is asked to go back again, wouldn't he raise a tiger? To be troubled?”

"They are outside, and the king will not accept the order!"

"This general will not have any conflict with Li Guanyi, and will not kill him, but will just block his path and prevent him from leaving!" Yan Baotai sneered: "He has tens of thousands of households under his command. There are six or seven people in a household, and that will cost at least tens of thousands of people."

"Once we pass through our country, we can still bring the people, how many will we end up with?"

"Hundreds of thousands of households? Hundreds of thousands of people rushed over with dry food. That was to draw the flesh and blood of our Daying Kingdom to make Li Guanyi rise. The lord saw this, but he could not do it or stop it."

"As a minister, we are going to share your worries for Your Majesty."

"That would ruin your reputation, so it should be done by someone like this general."

Yan Baotai said again:

"Besides, Li Guanyi's troops have many people, so there is no need to use weapons at all."

"Every day, people eat horses and chew them. Their cabin is deep enough to drink how much food can they bring? I heard that they have to replenish supplies every time they go to. Once there is no food, these people will soon start to riot. Li Guanyi can restrain him. Can you bear it? ! ”

"When the time comes, these refugees under his command will starve to death, which will prove that Li Guanyi's so-called name of benevolence is all a fart!"

"Besides, it is now autumn. Daying is located in the north with a severe cold climate. Starting this month, the weather will become colder day by day. The untouchables are just wearing a layer of single clothes, still near the water flow, and it will take a few days to go, It will start to wind and cold."

"Once there is no food, and the stroke and cold start to die, a plague will occur."

"Hmph, Li Guanyi, Li Guanyi."

Yan Baotai said hatefully: "If you want to step on the reputation of Your Majesty and earn the reputation of benevolence in the world, where is such a good place in the world?! This general doesn't allow you to get what you want, you're trapped here Death, no such name!”

Li Guan and his Qilin Army were waiting here for two days. Wen He and Wen Ling both sighed. Their talents had long seen Yan Baotai's purpose, which was also considered a conspiracy.

Wen He whispered: "It depends on what the lord is going to do."

"If you turn against each other, the road ahead will be difficult. The Emperor of Yingguo will not send troops openly or tear the face openly. However, as a country's important weapon, the king will not say anything like a gentleman. It’s natural to do something to disturb us.”

"After all, if it were me, I would have done that."

He sighed and said, "Actually, it's still good."

"After all, this kid didn't soak the corpse in the upper reaches of the river. In fact, he only needed to find the corpses of a hundred pigs and sheep, use a fishing net and put it on it, and the water flow just rushed, and the corpse would not be found at that time, but we Those who drink water downstream are inevitably plague.”

"It's not long before I'm afraid something will happen."

Wen Lingjun looked at Wen He like a ghost.

Wen He smiled and said, "This move hurts the world. It seems that the opponent will not be able to use it."

Li Guan looked at the tea in his quilt. He had drunk tea before. After listening to Wenhe's words, he felt that he suddenly couldn't drink it. Li Guan grinned and said, "Sir, we still have food." How many?"

Wen He said, "I prepared a lot of dry food. When the people came to invest, they also brought their own food. The Angry Dragon King caught fish and saved some food, which would last for three days."

Li Guanyi said: "Three days..."

He sat there quietly.

On the second day, Li Guanyi asked to see Yan Baotai, but Yan Baotai was still standing there and laughed and said, "How powerful is Qin Wuhou? I cannot stop you, nor dare to intercept the Qilin Army!"

"You can leave. I will send you out of seclusion in person, but these refugees must stay here."

"Don't worry, after the Marquis left, when His Majesty's imperial edict came, the general immediately released them. Hahahaha, I will never go back on my word."

Yan Baotai's voice was extremely loud. Many people looked a little scared when they heard this. Looking at the boy, Li Guan let out a sigh and looked ahead, Wen He, Wen Lingjun, Feng Xiao, and Fang Qiao Du Keming and Wei Xuancheng looked at Li Guanyi

Li Guan made a decision in front of him, whether to abandon these people or have conflicts with Yingguo? Even if there is no complete war, the road ahead will be difficult to move forward.

In the dead silence, Yan Baotai was already smiling.

Li Guan sighed suddenly and stretched out his hand. The sound of the roar of war blew open. He suddenly shook his hand and threw it out. The halberd of war in his hand was thrown out, but it broke through the air in an instant, directly cutting through the gate of the pass ahead, and the air waves were solemn. Pull Yan Baotai out.

Qin Wuhou's voice was solemn and heard from afar: "Qilin Army, carry a gun."

"The people will not abandon me, and I will not abandon the people."

"I see, who dares to stop me!"
