Curiosities?
Copper coins from the Song Dynasty?
Yao Hongfang paused while drinking tea, then raised his head and looked at Su Changsheng in surprise.
"A huge amount of antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and rare treasures? Where did you get them? These are not ordinary goods that can be obtained easily. Do you have any reliable channels?"
Su Changsheng nodded.
"It's a very reliable channel. We snatched it from the Jin people. The method was to kill all the Jin people and nobles and ransack their homes. Naturally, we got these things. It's very reliable."
Yao Hongfang was stunned for a moment, and it took him a while to come back to his senses.
"Are you in the Kingdom of Jin?"
"yes."
"Are you crazy?!"
Yao Hongfang put down the tea bowl with a bang and said with a look of shock and anger: "Kill Sun Yuanqi and evacuate the entire Su family just to go to the Kingdom of Jin? You... wait, Shandong is causing trouble recently, could it be you? "
"Do the officials also know that there is trouble in Shandong?"
Su Changsheng smiled.
"Don't laugh! How big of a deal is this? It's been almost two months. This matter has spread throughout the Huaihe River and the Huaihe River. The imperial court also knows that there is a rebellion in Shandong. The scale is still very large. The matter is very big. You...you Are you too brave? What on earth are you doing?"
"Do what your old friend would have done."
Su Changsheng said slowly: "Alang started planning this matter a long time ago. After several years of planning, all the plans were almost completed. Then we started to take action. Killing Sun Yuanqi was the last step for Alang to bid farewell to the Song Dynasty. .
After this step, Alang said that he had nothing to do with the Song Dynasty. The Su family's ancestral home was Shandong anyway, so he would go back to Shandong. No matter what he did, it was his own business and he didn't owe anyone anything. "
Yao Hongfang was very surprised.
"Did you really give up your family fortune? On your own initiative?"
"Very proactive, Alang thought that the Song Kingdom had no hope. They would only retreat to a corner of the south of the Yangtze River and would never be able to regain the Central Plains. Any expectations for the Song Kingdom would be disappointed. In the end, they would still have to rely on themselves.
Instead of looking forward and backward, worrying about this and that, and tying up your own hands and feet, why not risk your life and give it a try, what if it works? Now it seems that the effect is still there. "
"How far have you developed now?"
Yao Hongfang looked at Su Changsheng.
"Alang formed an alliance with Shandong natives Zhao Kaishan, Sun Ziyi and others to create the Liberation Army, with the mission of expelling the Hulu and restoring China. They have now conquered the entire East Shandong Road and are marching towards the East and West Road. The total strength of the Liberation Army has exceeded One hundred thousand."
"One hundred thousand!?"
Yao Hongfang's eyes widened: "Have you really grown to this scale? Didn't the Jin people fight back? Were they completely defeated? As far as I know, there is a Jin army commander in Shandong, and there are a lot of meng'an muhu. , the military should be very strong, how did you do it?"
"Of course there are various reasons intertwined together, and there are various reasons. I am just Alang's subordinate, and I don't understand it very well. So if the official wants to know, it is better to have the opportunity to meet Alang in the future, and I can naturally know everything."
Su Changsheng smiled.
Yao Hongfang calmed down his surprise and thought seriously for a while.
"It's very dangerous for you to do this. Even if you can gain an advantage in Shandong, can't the Jin Kingdom, as big as the Jin Kingdom, have enough troops to attack you? As far as I know, Wanyan Liang, the financial owner, is generous, ambitious, and cruel and cruel. , is very dangerous. Once he gets angry and his army goes south, it will be bad."
Su Changsheng nodded.
"So what?"
"Aren't you afraid of death?"
Yao Hongfang looked at Su Changsheng sternly.
"Afraid, but compared to a vigorous death in battle, we are more afraid of meaningless death from starvation, death from old age, and death from illness."
Su Changsheng took a deep breath: "Sima Qian once said that death is inevitable for all people. It may be heavier than Mount Tai or lighter than a feather. If it is the former, what is there to fear about death?"
Yao Hongfang narrowed his eyes.
"You are so brazen! If you make a fuss like this, if the matter gets bigger, the sponsor will definitely send an army south to attack. Can you still say such words when hundreds of thousands of troops are overwhelming the mountain?"
"Don't you know the outcome after it happens?"
Su Changsheng smiled and said, "Alang told us that when you look at a person, don't look at what he says, but look at what he does."
Yao Hongfang was speechless for a moment after hearing this.
"You really didn't just go to the Kingdom of Jin in a moment of bloody courage? Do you have a long-term plan? Do you have a goal? Do you have a place to supplement the logistics?"
"Alang has been preparing for four years, and we have also been thinking about it for four years. If it was just a moment of bravery, four years would be enough for us to be torn apart and unable to go anywhere. Of course there is a long-term plan, first take Shandong, and then take Henan , Hebei, conquer Zhongdu, take the Great Wall, and completely drive away the Jin people!
As for the goal, it is our slogan. This is also proposed by Alang, to expel the Hulu and regain China. With this goal, we will continue to work hard. The place for logistical replenishment is of course Shandong. The people here were brutally abused by the tyranny of the Jin people. My heart goes to the Liberation Army. "
Yao Hongfang did not completely believe these words, he knew the importance.
"This is all temporary. Once the gold master's army moves south, everything will be revealed. If you lose, what are you going to do?"
"This is what Alang told us a long time ago. If we can't get past the gold master army, no matter how much trouble we make, it will be useless. But at this moment, can I give the official an accurate answer? I'm afraid it's Alang. You can’t, right?”
"You know this very well. If that's the case, why do you still say you're not afraid of death?"
Su Changsheng nodded decisively.
"Of course, since Alang decided to go north to the Kingdom of Jin to rebel, he had already considered the worst outcome. Alang said that he would rather die in the Central Plains and be quartered by gold thieves than die in the gentle countryside beside the West Lake. "
As soon as these words came out, Yao Hongfang was stunned.
He was stunned for a moment, and then looked beyond Su Changsheng to a distance unknown to Su Changsheng, as if he was thinking about something.
After a while, Yao Hongfang withdrew his eyes and sighed deeply.
"Su Yuting is worthy of being the grandson of my old friend... No, it should be that the young are better than the old. He did what my old friend wanted to do but didn't dare to do. He did what my old friend had been thinking about for most of his life. He stepped out at the age of twenty. On the journey, if the country has such a young man, why worry about not being able to prosper?"
Su Changsheng smiled.
"Guardian, Alang is no longer from the Song Dynasty. Alang will never do anything for the Song Dynasty."
"I didn't say it was the Song Dynasty that prospered."
Yao Hongfang looked at Su Changsheng with meaningful eyes.
Su Changsheng was stunned for a moment, and was a little surprised.
"What the officer means is..."
"I am a private salt dealer, do you expect me to have any loyalty to the court?"
Yao Hongfang sneered.
Su Changsheng suddenly understood and felt that what he said was reasonable.
"To be honest, I even envy Yu Ting a little. He has accomplished things that I wanted to do but didn't dare to do. For us, domestic private salt dealers with someone on top, it is almost impossible to escape, and we can only spend our whole life. Work for the superiors until your death.
Something happened to the higher ups. We are the first to suffer. The higher ups are dissatisfied with us. We will be annihilated at the flick of a finger. It looks like everything is in bloom, but in fact it is in danger. Over the years, I have never been able to feel at ease one day. Have a good sleep, I'm tired. "
Yao Hongfang let out a long sigh.
"In that case..."
"In this case, as an antique dealer, how can I refuse your cooperation proposal? I have a large number of VIP customers who like rare antiques. Do you have any samples? What quality of antiques can you let me see?"
