Chapter 256: Joining(1/2)
"My current name is He Sheng, and I am the leader of a gang in Bianliang!" The visitor looked at Wang Zhu with a sad look in his eyes: "But my name used to be Qin Min."
Wang Zhu suddenly opened his mouth. Qin Min was also a famous figure among the border troops.
If Xiao Ding is the number one star in the frontier army, then Qin Min is definitely the number two.
And Xiao Ding is the kind of person who belongs to the clouds. He is capable of civil and military affairs and has a prominent family background. In the eyes of people like Wang Zhu, he is completely unattainable.
But Qin Min is someone who everyone feels they can imitate or even become his character.
Wang Zhu knew Qin Min because when he was a boy, he often heard his elder brother mention this person. He was a frontier general who was more brave than his elder brother.
The eldest brother is the most capable person Wang Zhu has ever seen.
But the eldest brother was very convinced of this Qin Min.
Wang Zhu guessed that his eldest brother must have fought with this Qin Min and lost.
At that time, the eldest brother Wang Gan was a general in the frontier army with 400 men. Qin Min was also a general, but a cavalryman.
"Aren't you dead?" Looking at Qin Min across from him, Wang Zhu felt a little unbelievable. On their way back to Beijing, he heard a general say that Qin Min died in Baigou Station in battle, and the general returned at that time.
He sighed and said to Wang Zhu, after your brother, the border army has lost another good man.
"Qin Min is indeed dead. Now my name is He Sheng!" Qin Min shook his head and said: "Brother Wang Zhu, I heard about you, so I came here to find you."
"Looking for me?" Wang Zhu pointed to his nose.
"Yes, I'm looking for you!" Qin Min said with a smile. "Your brother and I are good friends who have never known each other before. You can also call me Brother Qin!"
"Brother Qin, were you by my side when my eldest brother died? Do you know where his body is? We only know that he died in battle that year."
"Go sit by the river!" Qin Min glanced at the house behind Wang Zhu and said, "So as not to disturb your family."
"Okay!" Wang Zhu nodded.
The two of them were sitting by the river. Not far from them was the water pier of the East Gate. Although the night was already dark, the place was still brightly lit. Countless people were gathered there. A ship docked here and got on board.
They could still clearly hear the noise of unloading cargo and entering and leaving the port.
"We are surrounded!" Qin Min looked at Wang Zhu and said: "We are not surrounded by Liao people, but Jurchens. Those barbarians can really fight. When we broke out, your brother received a stick from a Jurchen. I think
His whole chest was deflated. At that time, we were all too tired to lift the knife. I was able to escape because my horse was better. At that time, including the Jurchens' horses,
I have no energy left, but my horse can still run, which is why I can escape."
Qin Min's father was the commander-in-chief of an army, so he could naturally get better horses for his son, but Wang Gan did not have this kind of treatment.
"The last scene I saw was that after your brother was killed, the Jurchens trampled on him with their horses. They hated your brother because your brother killed more than a dozen of them!" Qin Min sighed: "In such a situation,
I'm afraid there are no remains at all."
With a thud, Wang Zhu punched the riverbank hard.
"I heard about you!" Qin Min said: "Do you know what happened to our Xin'an Army, Guangxin Army, and Ansu Army?"
"I only know that several commanders are dead." Wang Zhu glanced at Qin Min: "It is said that he did not listen to the commander's orders. After the defeat of the war, he was afraid of the enemy like a tiger. He lost the land and the city. I heard that he was involved in a big case.
Among them. I don’t know the specifics. I also heard what the commander of our battalion said.”
"Hehe!" Qin Min sneered: "Do you believe it?"
Wang Zhu shook his head: "I don't believe it, and neither do our generals. I also heard the general say that the night the commander heard the news, he was so drunk that he danced a sword in the military camp. The general said that he had never seen it before
I have never lost control like that before."
Qin Min gritted his teeth and said: "That bastard Cui Ang doesn't know how to fight at all. He is basically a guy who talks about war on paper. If the war is going on together, according to the calculations between my father and several commanders, how could there be such a disastrous defeat on the border? Lose
If you lose, you will lose. To boost morale and revitalize the troops, it is not that there is no chance of counterattack. Our frontier army has been mobilizing troops and recharging its strength over the years. Even if it is defeated for a while, it is not without the opportunity to come back. But
But Cui Ang lost his courage. Under a series of random deaths, the defense line suddenly collapsed. Tens of thousands of men died."
Qin Min held her head in her hands, her body trembling slightly.
"I fought all day and night in Baigouyi. Almost all of my men were killed. I finally jumped into the Juma River. I was lucky enough to survive!"
Wang Zhu also has a heart full of sorrow. Unless you are immersed in a battle in a desperate situation, you simply cannot feel the experience of someone who has experienced it. Words and narratives cannot describe what it is like.
"After I finally survived, what I heard was that my father and General Zheng were plotting to rebel. Their heads were hung on the city wall of Daming Mansion! The few remaining generals of the border army,
In the end, he died inexplicably on the way to the capital for questioning." Qin Min gasped. "Now, only your Dingwu Army is left, oh, and the Guangrui Army led by Xiao Ding. The rest.
Everything that fell is finished."
"Our Dingwu Army is also having a very difficult time!" Wang Zhu sighed.
"I know." Qin Min sneered: "It seems that they want to destroy all the troops built by King Jing before it counts. Wang Zhu, this is just the beginning. We are working hard for the Song Dynasty, grandpa
I'm dead, I'm dead, my son is dead, I've been bleeding and sweating on the border all my life. Why can these officials from Bianliang decide our life or death with just one word? They obviously don't understand shit, but they can still ride.
They give random orders around our necks, fail, and then throw all the blame on us? Why should we eat food and drink while they eat and drink?"
Wang Zhu glanced at Qin Min, whose face was a little distorted, and said: "My father said that this is because there are treacherous ministers in the court, and the official family has been deceived by the treacherous ministers."
Qin Min looked at Wang Zhu for a while and suddenly laughed: "Who says it's not the case? But if the official is really wise, how could he be deceived by the traitor? This official is just a fool."
Wang Zhu's face changed color. He glanced left and right and whispered: "Brother Qin, please keep your voice down. This is Bianliang. It's not a trivial matter for people to listen to you."
Qin Min laughed and patted Wang Zhu on the shoulder: "You were not afraid when you were fighting against those bastards of the Fourth Army. You were not afraid when you were alone in prison and took the blame. What are you afraid of now?"
Wang Zhu laughed sheepishly: "At that time, why did you think so much?"
"Brother Wang, what do you think of those people in the Fourth Army?" Qin Min asked.
"Not so good!" Wang Zhu said disapprovingly: "Look at all of them, they are tall and powerful, but they don't have the energy to fight. They want to fight, but they don't dare to put themselves in danger. They will kill the enemy before hurting them.
If you think about protecting yourself, this kind of strategy will lead to your own death."
"If we have 5,000 people, how many people from the Fourth Army do you think we can defeat?" Qin Min said.
Wang Zhu looked at Qin Min with wide eyes.
"Just talking casually."
"If the Fourth Army like this fights in formation, we have 5,000 men and can defeat 50,000 of them!" Wang Zhu said with a smile: "If we don't fight in formation, but regardless of the method of warfare and the place, we can defeat 50,000 of them!"
If we attack at will and use all possible means, we can defeat them even with 100,000 people."
"The elites of the country who are truly capable of fighting have been abandoned by them, while some embroidered pillows have been raised like treasures by them!" Qin Min said harshly: "If this continues, the Song Dynasty will be tortured by them sooner or later."
"Brother Qin, what can little people like us do!" Wang Zhu thought of his situation and sighed, "We, the common people, can only take a look at the important national events."
"Good, but not necessarily!" Qin Min snorted: "Brother Wang, do you know who I am working for now?"
"Brother Qin just said that you are now the leader of a gang!" Wang Zhu said.
"That's just a cover-up!" Qin Min said: "Brother Wang, your eldest brother is a good man, and you are also a good man, so I came to you. Now I am working for His Highness King Jing."
"King Jing?" Wang Zhu cried out, but just as he spoke, he covered his mouth again.
"Yes, King Jing, King Jing who once served as a pacifier in Hebei!" Qin Min's eyes lit up: "Brother Wang, what do you think of King Jing?"
"Of course King Jing is good. Our frontier army has been proud and proud these years, but it was all when he was the pacifier of His Highness King Jing. In these years, our family's life has become better day by day." Wang Zhu said: "If Jing Jing
If His Highness Wang had gone away a few years ago, my eldest brother might not have to die."
"The officials are confused now!" Qin Min snorted coldly: "If His Highness King Jing becomes an official, do you think we can't stand up? Can we kill all those treacherous people? Can we regain our strength at the border?
Show off your power and kill the Liao people back? Do you want to?"
Wang Zhuling was stunned for a long time: "Of course I want to, but can King Jing become an official?"
"As long as we help him, he can do it!" Qin Min waved his fist: "Brother Wang, are you willing to help His Highness King Jing?"
"What can I do to help him? I have already made a small pledge, oh, no, I am not even a pledge now!" Wang Zhu was dejected. "There is nothing I can do to help His Highness King Jing now."
"No, you can help him!" Qin Min said: "Brother Wang Gan is famous in the Dingwu Army. You have not lost your brother's style this time. I don't know how many people in the Dingwu Army have praised you! Brother,
Help us contact the brothers of the Dingwu Army. One more person means more strength. One day, if we can support King Jing to ascend the throne, we will have the merit of following the dragon. On that day, people like us will be able to return to the throne.
Border troops, retrain the border troops, go to the Liao people to avenge their blood, and avenge a hero like your brother!"
Looking at the impassioned Qin Min, Wang Zhu hesitated. He turned his head and looked in the direction of the rented house. Even though Wang Zhu had not seen much of the world, he also knew that this matter was not trivial. If he did not go well, his family would be implicated.
.
"Brother, if you are willing, your brother Qin will make arrangements for your uncles, aunts, nephews and nieces. Let them leave Bianliang City and find a place to settle down anonymously. If we succeed in the future, you can take them back to enjoy their wealth.
If it fails, then of course there is nothing to say but death." Qin Min said bluntly.
"Can you arrange for my family?" Wang Zhu was moved.
"Of course, this is just a small matter!" Qin Min said.
"Okay, make arrangements for my family, and I will follow you!" Wang Zhu said.
"Good brother, I knew you were good at it!" Qin Min punched Wang Zhu in the chest and stood up: "You wait for the news first, I will arrange these things, and later I will introduce some good brothers to you.
.”
More than ten days later, Wang Zhu finally met the good brothers Qin Min talked about in a large courtyard.
What shocked him was that these men were all from the Guangxin Army, Ansu Army, Xin'an Army and other border armies. Among these people, there were actually people whose names he knew or had heard of.
"Brother Wang Zhu, we are all survivors. Now in Bianliang, there are more than two thousand people like us here, and there may be more in the future. If the Dingwu Army also joins,
To be continued...
