"However, the civil and military forces of the entire dynasty only knew how to flatter and deceive the people." Chao Gai held his hand on the railing and said in a deep voice: "But no one really cares for the country. They all only say that the victory of the joint Jin Dynasty to destroy Liao will last forever. He was extremely wise, but he didn't know that this battle was a huge failure.
You must know that this battle to destroy the Liao Dynasty has fully exposed the national power and military strength of the Song Dynasty. The combat power of the Song army when it conquered the Liao Dynasty is really embarrassing to mention, and the combat power of the Great Jin Kingdom against our Song army is even more They already know it well, how can such a military power not make others feel contemptuous, the Great Jin Kingdom has probably been coveting the Great Song Dynasty for a long time.
In addition, during the Liao campaign, I also went to the front lines and saw with my own eyes the combat power of the Jin army. It was indeed a powerful and unstoppable general. Compared with it, our Song army was as different as clouds and mud.
Everyone says that the Western Army of the Song Dynasty is the best soldier in the world, but I have also been to the west, and I have an idea of the combat effectiveness of the Western Army of the Song Dynasty. It is still far behind compared to the Western Army of the Jin Dynasty.
Although the Jin Kingdom has withdrawn its troops now, since the Jin Kingdom has a desire to spy on the Song Dynasty, it will definitely send its army southward again in the future to invade the Song Dynasty. However, the Song Dynasty court is currently ignorant and mediocre, and only knows Wen Tian and Wu Xi. Without military preparation, how can we withstand the Jin Kingdom's tiger and wolf forces when the war begins? By then, the people of the world will be in dire straits, with their families destroyed and their lives destroyed. "
After Chao Gai finished speaking, he hit the railing with his hand and looked extremely angry. Wang Lun did not expect that Chao Gai would have such a caring heart for the world and the country and the people. In order to find out the combat power of the Jin army, he even went to the front line to watch the battle. He also traveled thousands of miles to the northwest to understand the combat power of the Western Army of the Song Dynasty. Wang Lun could not help but admire Chao Gai's thoughts.
"Brother is right." Wang Lundang said immediately: "After the Jin Dynasty destroyed the Liao Dynasty, the reason why it withdrew its troops so quickly was actually because the leader of the Jin Dynasty, Wanyan Aguda, was seriously ill. In order to stabilize the situation in the Jin Dynasty, he could not And for that.
And once Wanyan Aguda's condition improves, or a new king is appointed, as long as the domestic situation in Dajin stabilizes, he will go south to invade the Song Dynasty. According to my calculations, it will take as little as two years, and at most three years, before the war resumes. At the beginning. "
Chao Gai couldn't help but admire Wang Lun when he saw that Wang Lun had already calculated the time for Da Jin's invasion to the south, and it was very different from what he expected.
Chao Gai's eyes flashed, as if he was hesitating about something, but also seemed to have finally made up his mind. He suddenly bowed to Wang Lunchang and said loudly: "Brother Boren, I have something to ask of you. Please take care of me." For the sake of the people of the world, I must agree."
"If you have anything to say, brother, just say it. It must not be like this." Wang Lun quickly stretched out his hands to support each other and said, "What brother said must be for the sake of the people of the world. As long as it is for the sake of the people of the world, let alone one thing. Even if it’s a hundred or ten thousand pieces, my little brother agreed.”
"Brothers are righteous, and I would like to thank all the people in the world for my brother." Chao Gai couldn't help being overjoyed when he saw Wang Lun agreeing. He once again clasped his fists and saluted Wang Lun, and then said: "If the mountain is not overturned, the world will not fall. Brother You must have heard of it.”
Wang Lun had certainly heard the saying "Unless the mountains are overturned, the world will not fall". The meaning of this sentence is that as long as Shandong is protected from destruction, the Central Plains and even the whole world will not fall.
Just because Shandong is the root of Chinese culture, the rulers of all dynasties in ancient China focused on protecting Shandong. Whenever there was a change of dynasty, they must first try to capture Shandong and then inform the world. , to show that he has gained the righteousness of the country.
And during the attack, they never dared to wreak havoc on Shandong, even when foreign invaders invaded. Just like the chaos in the north and south in the previous dynasties, and the Yuan and Qing Dynasties in later generations who conquered the world, they all had the responsibility to protect Shandong. In order to win the hearts and minds of the people and prove that this dynasty is the orthodox inheritance of China.
When Chao Gai saw Wang Lun nodding, he said: "Shandong is the hometown of saints and the land of China's robes. As long as we can defend Shandong, we will protect the foundation of China. Although we are in the wilderness, we have the responsibility to defend the land, no matter how ordinary people.
But in my opinion, the army of the Great Jin Dynasty is truly the best in the world. It cannot be matched by the officers and soldiers of the Song Dynasty. We cannot compete with them. The only plan now is to find a dangerous place with mountains and rivers to station troops and accumulate strength.
Once the war starts in the future, we will stick to Shandong and leave the rest alone. Once the Jin army is over, we will recommend a man of high moral character and respect to rise up and make a cry. At that time, the whole world will definitely respond, and the rebels will gather and they will be able to drive out the Yi and Di. Save the people of my country. "
"It's just that I traveled all over Shandong, but there was no suitable place until I arrived at Liangshan. Judging from the momentum of Liangshan, it was an excellent place. There is no other place." Chao Gai glanced at Wang Lun and said: "Don't worry, my dear brother, I have no intention of seizing Liangshan. If my dear brother can agree to use Liangshan as a place to build up momentum for the sake of the people of the world, and for my brother, I am willing to bring hundreds of thousands of brothers from Green Forest under the command of Liangshan, I, Chao Gai, will also I am willing to take my virtuous brother’s lead and listen to my orders.”
After Chao Gai finished speaking, he gave Wang Lun a great gift and bowed to the ground. How could Wang Lun not understand Chao Gai's intentions? He quickly helped Chao Gai up and said, "What are you talking about? Brother cares about the people of the world. I care about the people of the world." Wang Lun will never surrender to others. For the sake of the people of the world, not to mention a small Liangshan, it doesn't matter if he loses his wealth and his life."
Seeing Wang Lun's generous words, Chao Gai said, "Did my dear brother agree?"
Wang Lun nodded and said, "I agree."
"Okay!" Chao Gai looked happy and said loudly: "From today on, the hundreds of thousands of my brothers in Green Forest, from me on down, will all obey the orders of my virtuous brother."
"Brother, no." Wang Lun said quickly: "Brother is the leader of the Green Forest Alliance in the world, and his prestige in the world is not comparable to that of Wang Lun.
The younger brother is willing to swear an oath here. From now on, everyone on Liangshan will listen to the elder brother's orders and follow him to the death. "
Wang Lun said and bowed to Chao Gai. Chao Gai immediately stretched out his hand to help Wang Lun up and said with a joyful smile: "Good brother!"
Zhu Wu shouted from outside the pavilion: "General leader, big leader, the auspicious time is approaching, it is time to hold the ceremony."
Chao Gai took a deep look at Wang Lun, patted Wang Lun on the shoulder, and walked out of the pavilion first.
Although Zhu Wu, Zhao Yun, Shi Jin and others were outside the pavilion just now, they could clearly hear the conversation between Wang Lun and Chao Gai. At this time, the three of them entered the pavilion and came to Wang Lun's side.
When Zhao Yun saw that Wang Lun actually wanted to give up Liangshan to Chao Gai, he was very angry and said: "Senior brother, this Liangshan is the foundation you have created with so much hard work, why should you give it to others?"
Wang Lun looked at Zhu Wu and Shi Jin, but they were both silent. Wang Lun patted Zhao Yun on the arm and said, "This is called the current situation, you still don't understand."
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore." Seeing that Zhao Yun was still confused, Wang Lun smiled and said: "Today is a great day for me to marry my wife, but there is no need to delay. Follow me back to the Juyi Hall. "
After Wang Lun finished speaking, he left the pavilion first, followed by Zhu Wu and Shi Jin. Zhao Yun didn't know what the current situation was, so he shook his head and had no choice but to follow.
Wang Lun returned to Juyi Hall, but it was already dusk, and everything in Juyi Hall had been prepared.
Since none of the elders in the Wang family were here, and his aunt Yao Xiujing was the head of the girl's family at this time, and his fourth uncle Wang Jin was far away in the northwest and was unable to come due to military matters, Wang Lun respectfully invited Zhou Tong to sit in the high hall. Dong didn't refuse and took his seat happily.
When Wang Lun saw that the auspicious moment had arrived, he quickly walked to the groom's seat and stood up. Zhu Wu immediately shouted: "The auspicious moment has arrived, please enter the bride!"
As soon as Zhu Wu finished speaking, the drums were playing in the Juyi Hall. In harmony with the sound of the drums, Ping'er, dressed in a bright red dress and a phoenix crown and a hare, appeared at the door of the Juyi Hall, and was led by Yue Fei himself as he walked slowly towards the king. When Lun came, Xiao Wu, Jin Cuilian and a dozen other bridesmaids lined up to follow him.
Ping'er was dressed in gorgeous clothes, but she didn't wear a hijab. Her peerless appearance was displayed in front of everyone. She was so gorgeous that everyone in the hall was dumbfounded.
Ping'er walked to Wang Lun and stood side by side with Wang Lun, while Zhu Wu sang a congratulatory message according to the protocol drawn up by Wang Lun.
Wang Lun and Ping'er both knelt down, bowed to heaven and earth, then bowed to the high hall, offered tea to Zhou Dong, and finally the couple bowed to each other.
Zhu Wu collected his thoughts, cleared his throat, and said loudly according to the congratulatory message taught by Wang Lun: "The newlyweds please stand up, and the newlyweds please stand facing each other."
Everyone in the hall saw that Wang Lun and Ping'er did not go into the bridal chamber according to the traditional ceremony after the couple's worship, but stood facing each other. They didn't know what new tricks they had, so they could only watch blankly.
But only Zhu Wu said loudly: "Bridegroom, are you willing to marry the lady in front of you, no matter whether you are young, old, beautiful or ugly, you will never leave her?"
Wang Lun replied loudly: "I do!"
Zhu Wu asked again: "Bride, are you willing to marry the gentleman in front of you, no matter poor, rich, sick or healthy, and never betray each other in your life?"
Ping'er didn't know that Wang Lun would have such an arrangement in advance, but Ping'er knew that everything Wang Lun did today was for herself. At this time, Ping'er felt extremely determined. She immediately raised her head and looked at Wang Lun and answered softly. Said: "I do!"
Zhu Wu said again: "Please let the newlyweds exchange rings."
Xiao Wu immediately took out a ring and handed it to Ping'er. Xiao Hu was grinning at the side and was looking at it happily, but was slapped hard by Zhao Yun. Then Xiao Hu remembered that Wang Lun's ring was on him, so he hurriedly He quickly stepped forward and hurriedly took out the ring from his arms and handed it to Wang Lun.
But this pair of rings was obtained from overseas. They were accidentally purchased by Fei Bao, the captain of the Liangshan caravan when they went out to trade.
The person who paid the capital guarantee was from Dengzhou. His family has been engaged in overseas business for generations. When he was delivering goods, he was robbed by bandits. Although he escaped with his life, all his capital was lost. When passing by Liangshan, he fell to the ground due to cold and hunger. Later, he was killed by the king. Saved by Lun.
Later, Wang Lun found out that Fei Bao was a businessman who went to sea every day, so he bought a fleet of ships with a lot of money and delivered it to Fei Bao. He made Fei Bao the captain of Liangshan's overseas caravan and developed overseas trade for Liangshan to increase his wealth. .
