Chapter 263 Execution of the Thief(1/2)
Li Gang is gone!
But it made Yu Yin fall into deep thought.
Li Gang's words before leaving were undoubtedly a signal of reconciliation sent by the pro-war faction in the court to Yu Yin.
What is the reason?
Yu Yin didn't realize that Li Gang and others valued his talents.
In the past two years, Yu Yin has shown most of his musical talents. Although he is talking about the four craftsmanship, calligraphy and painting, and the four craftsmanship of gentlemen, in the eyes of Li Gang, it is just a manifestation of personal cultivation. Cai Jing's calligraphy and painting are so outstanding that he was scolded. Li Gang and others are utopians, but they are also practicalists, and may not take these into consideration.
And Yu Yin is just a commander from the sixth rank.
Even though he belongs to the New Emperor, he is just an outsider.
Yu Yin really doesn't think that Li Gang and the others will recognize him... The reason why they send this signal must be that there is something to do.
After thinking about it, Yu Yin felt that the reason why Li Gang and the others sent such a signal was the root of the Song Dynasty Weekly. As Li Gang said, the Song Dynasty Weekly is the mouthpiece! Even though there are many newspapers in Kaifeng now, in terms of influence, the Song Dynasty Weekly is still respected. If you don’t see an article in the Song Dynasty Weekly, Emperor Huizong will make the decision to abdicate... Yu Yin is the founder of the Song Dynasty Weekly! Even if he has been handed over to the royal family, he always has some inexplicable influence on the Song Dynasty Weekly...
Li Gang and the others are afraid of these things!
After thinking through the reason, Yu Yin was much more relaxed.
You are not afraid of you using it, you are afraid that you have nothing worth using it... In fact, there are pros and cons of this matter! Li Gang and others want to use Yu Yin, and Yu Yin can also use the influence of Li Gang and others to increase their bargaining chips.
After seeing Li Gang away, Yu Yin continued to stay at home and kept mourning for Huang Shang.
After the first seven, Huang Shang was buried and the real end was finally over.
It was during these seven days that Yu Yin was not going to leave Tokyo and go to Mutugang to work on business.
Besides, after several months of rectification and sorting out the Moutuogang Military Village, it has basically been on track. The specific matters are Chen Dong, Pang Wanchun, Dong Xian, Niu Gao and others. If there is no major problem, Yu Yin will not need to worry about it. What about Yu Yin? He also knows his own abilities. He doesn't want to break the system that has been formed so hard now, and he will not intervene at will.
When Chen Dong and others came to worship, Yu Yin gave some advice.
Pang Wanchunqi said: "Although the enemy thieves circled Zhongshan and headed straight to Kaifeng, there were big rivers and natural chasms, so it might not be easy to hit Tokyo."
Yu Yinze smiled bitterly, "When the captive thieves were sent, everyone thought that Guo Yaoshi could stop the captive thieves. How could Guo Ni eventually surrender to the Jin army?"
"this……"
Pang Wanchun won’t say much more.
Indeed, such a thing is not very accurate. Who can guarantee that the enemy can't defeat the Yellow River?
But Yu Yin knew that in history, the Jurchens really crossed the Yellow River, and it was not once, but three times successfully crossed the river.
Moutuogang seems safe.
But once the Jurchens break through the Yellow River trench, Moutuogang will definitely be the first to bear the brunt.
"By the way, Li Boji will send some death row prisoners in a few days... Then, it will be left to Shaoyang for the responsibility, and we still need to make some preparations.
The Imperial Camp is ready to withdraw to Tokyo.
But the craftsmen evacuated, but the troops in the imperial camp were still left behind in Moutuogang.
Brother Boyuan and Ling Zheng were not unfamiliar with him, so he contacted him more and would echo each other in the future. If necessary, he could send death row prisoners to Ling Zheng. Although it was useless, he could also have more laborers, which was better than nothing.”
"Then does Liujiazhuang need care?"
"Liujiazhuang..." Yu Yin thought for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "When Master Liu left, he entrusted his family to me and could not stand by and watch. So he let Master Liu's family live in the city. Anyway, he also has a house in the city.
As for the servants of the village, those who are willing to stay shall be assigned to the commander of the Ling Commander. If they are unwilling to stay, they shall be evacuated as soon as possible... Also, the granary of the village will also be moved into the city. For this matter... I will ask Shaoyang to come forward, maybe it will be better."
Then Liu Qing is also a person with great hands and eyes in Kaifeng City.
If an ordinary person goes there, it may not be possible to persuade Liu Qing’s family to move away.
But Chen Dong was born in an Imperial College after all, and was more convincing than Ling Zhen. Once the Jin army crossed the Yellow River, Liujiazhuang would have to be robbed. There was still a lot of food and cattle and horses on the farm. Staying outside would only make the Jurchens cheaper.
Strong walls and clear fields?
Yu Yin believes that he does not have this ability yet.
But he would never leave half a grain of food for the Jurchens, and he would send it to the city no matter how hard he was.
At least, it can calm down the prices in the city...
After everything was arranged, Niu Gao and others said goodbye and prepared to leave.
Chen Dong walked at the end and was called by Yu Yin.
He took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Chen Dong, "When my uncle left, he recommended Zhu Meng to me and said he was an aide.
Now that the war is coming, the Moutuogang Military Village is small, but it is extremely important.
There are so many things that need to be sorted out... It's really hard to rely on Shaoyang alone. But Zhu Meng said that this person is not familiar with me. His father has some friendship with me, but you also know that this person has a lot of ideas and cannot be influenced by outsiders. If I go there, I'm afraid he will refuse to meet. I have to work hard to walk back to Shaoyang, I wonder if it's okay?"
I thought Chen Dong would be unhappy.
But Chen Dong smiled after hearing Yu Yin's words.
"If Zhu Sanlang is willing to come, his family will be his deputy."
"oh?"
"Zhu Sanlang is strong, but he does have the ability... Speaking of which, I don't have a deep relationship with him, but if I visit him, I think he will not lose his face. As for whether he can convince him to come, I am really unsure of it."
Yu Yin also smiled, "Let's go with the flow over there!"
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Chen Dong left with the letter, and Yu Yin finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After nightfall, snow fell again in Kaifeng. The temperature became colder and colder... This also made Yu Yin feel very troubled.
In such cold weather, the Yellow River will inevitably freeze. Yu Yin can't remember how the Jurchens crossed the Yellow River in history, but I think it is also related to the weather. If the Jurchens arrived at the Yellow River before the thawing, could the Song Army of Sour Jujube really resist it? Yu Yin was not very confident. But suddenly remembered something... Tian Xingjian and Su Can, and I don't know what the situation was.
Since returning to Tokyo, Yuyin has wanted to contact Hitokishida and others several times.
But for various reasons, this plan has to be delayed again and again... Logically speaking, at this time, Tian Xingjian and others have stopped. But those navy troops are ultimately a force. If necessary, they cannot be useful.
"Old Gao!"
"What are the instructions for the young master?"
Yu Yin thought about it and took out the waist-bar label that Tian Xingjian gave him and handed it to Gao Shiguang.
"As soon as tomorrow dawn, you will go to the military camp and let Shaoyang have a waist sign and a horse with you, and rush to Biankou to find Tian Xingjian.
Just say that the enemy now has a thief Zhang Kuang and Kaifeng is in danger. He asked him to summon the village warriors and try to come and rescue him."
Gao Shiguang and Tian Xingjian had several dealings, so he naturally knew how to find Tian Xingjian.
So he took the waist card, nodded and turned around to say goodbye.
Yu Yin then felt relieved, sat down in the mourning hall, looking at Huang Shang's spiritual position, dazed...
Outside the house, it was cold.
Inside the house, it is as warm as spring.
The charcoal fire in the brazier was burning red, without making a crackling sound.
Yan Nu was busy all day long, and under Yu Yin's persuasion, he hugged Yu Ru upstairs to rest. Yu Yin sat alone in the mourning hall reading books for a while, but was too tired and fell asleep in a daze. In a daze, he felt someone coming over. He suddenly opened his eyes, and he stuck his backhand out without turning his head, and only heard a scream behind him.
"Miss Yang?"
Only then did Yu Yin see clearly that it was Yang Jinlian who walked over with a piece of clothing.
But when he was scared, the clothes fell to the ground. Yang Jinlian blushed and said softly: "I saw that Brother Xiaoyi was asleep and worried that he would catch a cold, so I took a piece of clothes."
After breathing a long sigh, Yu Yin smiled.
"Miss Yang is forgiven for his crimes, but he is scaring his wife."
He picked up the cotton robe and put it on his body.
In the candlelight, he looked down at the robe, but saw that the workmanship was exquisite, not written by Yan Nu.
"This robe..."
"Sometimes ago, I saw Sister Jiuer buy some kapok cloth, and there are a lot left... I saw that it was getting cold, so I made one."
In the mourning hall, only Yu Yin and Yang Niangzi.
Yu Yin got up and added lamp oil to the eternal lamp, and lit two more white wax.
He picked up the tongs, added two pieces of charcoal and put them in the brazier. He sat down again, hesitated for a while, and whispered: "There is something that my family has never thanked her.
If Miss Yang hadn't helped me hide it from the yamen, I'm afraid that now my family is also in prison."
Yang Jinlian's face couldn't help but dim.
She sat down aside and whispered, "I am a woman, I don't know what kind of justice."
At the beginning, I really hated Brother Xiao Yi a little... No matter what, my husband died at the hands of Brother Xiao Yi. But after I entered Kaifeng Mansion, I thought about it carefully. If it weren't for Brother Xiao Yi, I would probably be worse than death... When I thought about it, I would have lost so much resentment towards Brother Xiao Yi. I just blamed me for being in bad luck. How could I know that Dalang would be so crazy?"
A faint sadness appeared in his eyes.
Yu Yin didn't know how to persuade him, so he could only sit with Yang Jinlian aside, silent.
After a while, he whispered: "The situation is unstable now, what are your plans?"
To be continued...
