Chapter 344: A Visit to the Sea
This trip to the sea passed through many barbarian tribes, and some places were also places where the scouts of the Great Righteous Ning Kingdom often came and went. Therefore, for the sake of safety, at the strong request of Lin Yi and Guo Zhun, this time Li Yi personally selected 200 brave and good soldiers, and also selected 200 elite cavalry from Jian Zheng's Pudao battalion and cavalry battalion as the guards of this trip.
In terms of officials and generals, He Shoujie, the secretary of the Xuanfu Embassy, Dongfang Jing, the secretary of the army, Qiu Feng, the deputy envoy of the Caoyun Inspection, Yue Wei, the lieutenant of the Ningzhou Battalion, and Lian Jun, Le Meng, Ling Feng, Huo Feng and others all traveled with them.
When Li Yi left Yunnan, Lin Yi was fully responsible for the management and disposal of Yunnan affairs.
On the morning of the day of departure, the Yunnan brigade of men and horses, all cavalry troops, each carried three days' rations, and did not carry any vehicles and sundries. With Li Yi's order, the team galloped out of the south gate of Ningzhou and ran in the direction of Yuezhouwei.
After nearly two hours of hurrying, the brigade left Yuezhouwei and Luliang County, left the border of Yunnan, and came to the area inhabited by the white barbarians.
After walking for more than half an hour, Dao Hongying's Zhaokua tribe was already close at hand, but Li Yi didn't dare to stay here, not because he was afraid that the white barbarians would come to harass him, but because he was afraid of causing memories of previous injuries, and he was uncomfortable for no reason, so he urged the people and horses to quickly pass through this area.
After more than half an hour of hurrying, according to the guide's guidance, the team has successfully entered the ground of Tonghai, and in about half an hour, they will be able to arrive at the station of the Tonghai Jiedu envoy.
While walking, smoke and dust billowed in front of him, and horses were hoofing, and a team with a clear banner and only seventy or eighty people rushed towards him, and soon came to the front of the team. After taking a closer look, it turned out that Duan Siying had personally arrived to greet him with the two major guards of Chu and Wei.
After Li Yi and Duan Siying exchanged a few words of greeting, they expressed their gratitude to Chu and Wei, when they rescued Dao Hongying last year, they lost the four guards of Chu, Wei, Lu, and Wan under Duan Siping to guide Sui Hu all the way, so that they successfully entered Yuezhou Wei and returned to Ningzhou, which made Dao Hongying finally turn the corner. Although the four of them are only guards, we can't be without courtesy.
Next, everyone followed the guidance of Duan Siying and came to the city of Tonghai smoothly. At this time, outside Tonghai City, there was already a sea of people and noisy drums, Duan Siping brought officials and generals in various costumes, as well as Lu and Wan, the two major guards of the four major guards, who were already waiting hundreds of meters outside the city.
Seeing this scene, Li Yi couldn't help but shake his head secretly. Duan Siping put on such a big show, although he gave himself the highest reception etiquette and gave enough face.
But such a big move, even ordinary people know about it, can this still hide from the ubiquitous spy scouts of the Great Yi Ning Kingdom? It seems that once on this chariot, there is no turning back from the bow.
When he came to the nearest place, Li Yi hurriedly dismounted and saluted Duan Siping.
Duan Siping held Li Yi's hand cordially, and said with emotion: "Duan has always wanted to sit opposite Li Dashuai, but unfortunately he missed it many times. Today, thanks to Li Dashuai's presence in the shelter, it happened to be a big deal on my mind. Ha ha! It's just that Li Dashuai is an outstanding person who has read poetry and books, literary talent and martial arts, and Duan is just a wild man who has not read a few books. β
Listening to his humor, Li Yi also smiled knowingly and said: "Duan Dashuai is too humble." In today's world, who doesn't know that Duan Dashuai's martial arts are unparalleled in the world. With the power of the sea and one place, it is even more admirable to resist the perverse and vicious Dayi Ningguo. Ever since I came to Yunnan, I have been puzzled by Tonghai's tenacious uprightness. β
"Although the Great Righteous Ning Kingdom has long been decayed, but under the reckless force, the military strength has not been greatly damaged, and although Tonghai is a righteous army, but after all, the territory is small, the number of soldiers is limited, and now it is a small fight, and it has stood for many years, and there are often winners, but I don't know what the reason is?"
When Duan Siping heard this, he smiled and was silent, and then said with a wry smile: "Li Dashuai is to the point, he is indeed a cheerful person, and the question you asked is actually a question that I often think of on the road I have been exploring for many years." It is not easy for Tonghai to develop to this point, and who can know the hard work, it is really difficult to say! β
Duan Siping took Li Yi's hand and walked forward slowly, while sighing: "More than 20 years ago, my father was still in the position of the official of Nanzhao Qingping, which was a position under one person and above ten thousand people, and it was said that it was also hot. Who knew that Yang Ganzhen deceived the young master, seized military power, and falsely dismissed my father from his official position by false decree, and deposed him to the place of Tonghai. β
"At that time, I was just a small military attachΓ©, and I also moved here with my father, and at that time, there were more than a dozen people in the family, only with Chu, Wei, Lu, and Wan, and my father and son's salaries have all been deducted, and I only relied on my mother's personal money to survive, so it can be said that it has reached the point of exhaustion."
"Later, Yang Ganzhen usurped the country and became self-reliant, but he still couldn't rest assured of my father, and sent people to assassinate our father and son many times. It's just that under the protection of the four guards and the full support of the people of Tonghai, we have escaped the assassination of the killers sent by Yang Ganzhen many times, so as to gradually gain a foothold in Tonghai. β
"My father was humble and generous, believed in the Buddhist mantra, and cared for the local people, and gradually won the support of the people. In this way, after years of our efforts, the economy of Tonghai is changing with each passing day, and there are more and more soldiers who swear to serve their lives, and it has been a slight success in the past few years. β
"As the saying goes, 'there is much help for the righteous, and little help for the unjust', only by sincerely loving the people, seeking benefits for the people, and maintaining the smooth implementation of government decrees, fairness and justice, can the people truly support you and support you, and can there be a broad space for development. Speaking of going home, I also have my eyes on this direction, and I can be invincible for so many years. β
When Li Yi heard this, he said with empathy: "Those who achieve great things must have something to rely on." No matter when and where, only by relying closely on the local people can we achieve much, which is an unbreakable truth since ancient times. Duan Dashuai took history as a mirror and put the people first, so that the people were happy and convinced, and it was not surprising that the soldiers used their lives. β()
