The number one scholar of the Song Dynasty

The First Champion Chapter 450

Yelu Dashi was even more pleased. Looking at the soldiers and horses he brought, they were stronger than when they withdrew.

"Xiyan, this time the Jurchens are coming for real..." Yelu Dashi said in a deep voice, but there was already a bit of hope in his tone.

Outside Hongzhou City, Yongning Village was the first to bear the brunt of the fire.Jurchen's method of attacking the stronghold, when there are not enough equipment, the first choice is always to expel the living and fill the trench with their lives.

Yelu Dashi was in Youyan, and saw with his own eyes how Yang Lin fought. He fortified the wall and cleared the country early on. However, there are too many people in the Liao territory, and these people are now under the rule of the Jin Kingdom.They didn't expect that the Jurchen didn't care about these things, and the army horses galloped back and forth, just to steal food and fodder and plunder the population.

The Jurchen army and horses under Wanyan Loushi's command took advantage of this time's strength and spread out across a wide front, driving countless ragged and ill-equipped men and Khitan auxiliary troops to keep probing along the vast front, looking for Is there a passable mountain trail, a road that can bypass Yongning Village?

As long as he finds an opening, the Jurchen elites who have been waiting behind will swarm in and tear the gap wider and wider until it can no longer be blocked.

If you can't find it, you can only attack Yongning Village by force. This place is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is a difficult bone.

In addition to looking for flaws, a series of tentative battles broke out.The Jurchen army was still dominated by auxiliary and tribal armies, gathering at Yongning Village from time to time to surround and attack.

In the Jurchen camp, the lives captured by countless generations are hurrying to make the simple long ladder.If you can't find a good way to break through the city, the only way is to use human life and shields to charge, and use strong bows and crossbows to cover.Then use the auxiliary army to carry side cards to cover, then fill the trench with soil, open the attack channel, and finally use the simple long ladder to climb up.

Wanyan Loushi patrolled the camp with a horsewhip. Wherever he went, those who did not dare to breathe, lowered their heads and worked desperately, for fear that they might be killed if they were seen lazily resting for a moment. on the spot.

Walking to a simple barracks, there was a faint sobbing sound, and Lou Shi asked with a straight face, "What is this?"

One of his subordinates, Meng'an Ahan, bared his teeth and said with a smile, "This is the fun that the brothers have stolen."

Wanyan Loushi immediately understood that there should be some beautiful women who were captured here.

He snorted coldly, and said: "The military situation is urgent, there are no idlers in the camp, let them come out to make long ladders."

As soon as the order was given, the Jurchen soldiers who were like wolves like tigers came into the shed with whips in their hands, and drove them out to work like dogs and sheep.

There was a hint of resentment in Ahan's eyes, and he said: "What are these women doing, let's kill a few more people to frighten them, and let them do it faster."

Wanyan Loushi glared at him and scolded: "Idiot, when Yunzhou is conquered, you won't be able to get any woman you want. Khitan's Xiangguo and minister's wives, let you divide it up. In the future, follow Zong Hanbo into the Southern Dynasty fiercely. If you catch a girl casually, you will have seven or eight points of beauty. At this time, nothing is as important as winning Yongning Village."

When they said this, some of the women in front of them were walking slowly because of crying, and they died after being whipped by the Jurchen Tartars a few times.

Most of the women were naked, holding back their tears and picking up the hammer to start working. The wooden thorns pierced into their hands and dripped blood, but they did not dare to stop.

When the country is broken, people who are subjugated are not as good as dogs...

Hangzhou city is full of traffic.

After Liu Kai led his troops away, Zhang Shuye and Yin Muhong of the Duwei's Mansion in Hangzhou also moved to Suzhou, and peace was restored here again.

The officials in Hangzhou City also breathed a sigh of relief, after all, with these two great gods around, everyone felt uncomfortable.

A group of guards in brocade robes and red clothes escorted a luxurious carriage and slowly entered the city.

Through the curtain of the car, Lu Qian said, "Madam, Di Ji, we have arrived at Hangzhou Mansion."

Cai Lingbao lifted the curtain, his voice was clear and sweet, and he said with a smile: "Let's go quickly to deliver a letter to Brother Seven, and then go back to Bianliang. Dad is really, just send someone to deliver it."

Duan Miaozhen said softly: "Of course the Grand Master has his reasons. Besides, when we arrive in Hangzhou, let's just play for a day. Lin Lang used to talk about the scenery here."

How did she know that the content of the letter she was going to send was to ask the seventh elder brother Cai Jun to go to Bianliang with his younger sister to do some things.

At the gate of the yamen, Cai Yun greeted him personally. Today is the younger sister who came by the way, and he has already received the news.

Now the little girl is no longer the little girl who was born in a concubine and ignored, she is Yang Lin's white-eyed woman, and she is also the hope of the Cai family.

Seeing the carriage approaching, Cai Jun squeezed out what he thought was a bright smile, and took a step with his arms outstretched, looking like a loving brother.

Suddenly, a man with a magnificent appearance came out from the crowd, and his voice was like a roar of dragons and tigers: "Cai Jun dog officer, take your life!"

This guy's movements were really too fast, coupled with his unreasonable courage, the surrounding policemen had no time to stop him.

Cai Yun's eyes were wide open, a sharp knife had been stuck in his chest, he vomited blood, and fell to the ground dead.

The policemen around were all shocked. They looked at this high-spirited man with a wry smile on their faces: "Wu Tiju...why are you doing this?"

"Cai Jun harms the people, I, Wu Song, said long ago that I want to kill this fellow. Today's incident does not implicate the brothers, just arrest me and ask the crime."

Lu Qian, who was not far away, was stunned and drew his sword to protect the carriage. The guards behind him also protected the two guards of Shaozai as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

Lu Qian looked at the corpse on the ground, spat and cursed in a low voice: "The Cai family, they are really evil."

Historical records such as Lin'an County Chronicle, West Lake Grand View, Hangzhou Fuzhi, Zhejiang Tongzhi and other historical records: Wu Song was originally a busker who wandered around the rivers and lakes.Gao Quan, the prefect of Hangzhou, saw Wu Song's high martial arts skills and outstanding talents, so he invited him into the government and let him act as the capital.Soon, he was promoted to Tijuris because of his meritorious service.Cai Yun, the son of Cai Jing, succeeded the prefect of Hangzhou. Relying on his father's power, he abused the government and harmed the people. He was called "Cai Hu".Wu Song refused to collude with him, so he was expelled.From then on, Wu Song harbored public grievances and personal grievances, and often wanted to assassinate him. He hid a sharp knife and hid in front of Cai's mansion. When Cai Jun rushed forward, he rushed forward like an arrow and stabbed Cai Jun several times. .Officers and soldiers flocked to besiege Wu Song, but Wu Song was finally captured by officers and soldiers because he was outnumbered.He was severely sentenced and died in prison.The local people were deeply impressed by his virtue and were buried beside the Xiling Bridge in Hangzhou. Later generations erected a monument with the inscription "Tomb of Song Yishi Wu Song".

Later novelists, using Wu Song's stabbing the tiger as a model, created the story of Jingyanggang fighting the tiger, turning "Cai Hu" into a real tiger.Although it made him famous, he also made up some plots of killing innocent people indiscriminately, insulting the honorable name of the righteous.Wu Tiju is actually a native of Qinghe County, Hebei Province, and he deserves the title of righteous man and hero.

All the messengers rushed forward and captured Wu Song, but he did not resist at all.

Chapter 541

"What?" Yang Lin slapped the table and scolded: "My husband has worked so hard and accomplished so much that he actually killed two sons in a row. It is tolerable for a white-haired person to send a black-haired one!"

Cai Jing was also a little unlucky, but Yang Lin was not so angry in his heart. He had heard of the notoriety of "Tiger Cai" for a long time, and he never spared his hands to punish him.

Cai Jing's son, who is well educated and reasonable, is like his beloved disciple Cai Tao, but there is also no lack of talented people who are incapable of writing or martial arts.

Those who were brought up by Cai Jing from a young age are generally outstanding in knowledge and have both ability and talent.But because of official careers, those who stayed in their hometown to raise them were all crooked.Back then, Cai Jing's ineffective grandson almost caused a break between the two of them.

"The suspect has been escorted to the capital, where he will be interrogated by the Ministry of Punishment himself, and he will be convicted and executed." Assassinating the magistrate in the street must be the death penalty according to the law, so Song Jiang said with a smile before the Ministry of Punishment interrogated him.

Yang Lin rolled his eyes and said: "This matter is related to your husband's appearance. How can you take it lightly? Besides the Ministry of Criminal Justice, there is another Gongming. You go to the jury in person to show how much we value your husband."

Yang Lin didn't take this assassination case to heart. He originally wanted to go by himself, but he didn't have time.Looking around the hall, Song Jiang was the biggest official, so he was asked to interrogate, which gave Cai Jing enough face.

Yang Lin still couldn't bear to bring him back to his hometown for supervision. The actual benefits cannot be given, and the matter of face must be taken care of.After all, no matter what Cai Jing said, he is the founder of the New Deal today, a generation of ministers in the Song Dynasty.

Song Jiang took over the job with a smile. Anyway, he is not very busy now. Although the North and the South are at war in Da Song, the strategy has been decided long ago, and everything is proceeding step by step.

The busiest thing now is still the mess of the New Deal, checking for deficiencies and making up for leaks, and gradually improving.

After all, everyone has no experience in carrying out the New Deal. There are quite a few reformers in Song Ting over the years, but most of them have been purged, and the rest may not have any real talents.

We can only cross the river by feeling the stones, find a problem, and solve one.

There are also some coups at the time, but they dug a big hole for the back. For example, Yang Lin's promotion of silver bills was originally a great thing to benefit the country and the people, but it almost crushed the court's mint.

Fortunately, there was still coin trade between the Song Dynasty and Japan. Yang Lin immediately sent someone to contact the Wa Kingdom to strengthen cooperation and exchange information.

The Port of Mizhou is still too small. Once it expands, it is likely to be insufficient. The imperial court has to allocate funds again to vigorously build other ports and develop Tianjin Port.

Every step was forced out and pushed forward. Yang Lin, the man at the helm, really didn't have much time.

In front of Yongning Village, the Jurchen drums were beating loudly, urging countless people to come forward to die.
