Chapter 197: There is a father-in-law on the river(2/3)
If you don’t know the nature of water from now on, you will never come back.
No one knows how Luo Shuang'er came to be in those days. She may have shed all the tears in her life, and probably said all the soft words in her life. She almost turned into an empty shell without a soul, lying there numbly.
The deepest part of the cabin is drifting with the waves on Dongting Lake.
She numbly saw the rows of lush trees on the shore, which not only formed the lines of the tidal flats, but also divided the water surface. Among the swaying shadows of the trees, there was the white-bearded master who had been with the boat for three days and three nights. He walked along the river bank and was carried by the wind.
sound……
"Ordinary people know that they are not thinking about what is right. They call it fear, and this is fear and thinking. The more you are afraid of prudence, the less you dare to act rashly, and your body will naturally become stiff and paralyzed, and will not obey orders."
"However, a person uses his spirit to lead his limbs and five internal organs, as well as the meridians throughout his body. If he governs a country together, if he moves in danger, the people will not cooperate; if he is afraid of speaking, the people will not respond. Only by understanding the straightforward and natural heart can we
The world says that the brave are not afraid, but in fact, there is nothing better than this in the world of joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love, evil, and desire."
"What I want to tell you now is not only a martial art, but also a principle for governing the world. Since fear is inevitable in you, then think about whether what you are afraid of is fear itself. The ancient saints
Wang Wei then reviewed the same thing and thought it was the right thing to do. Therefore, the superiors and inferiors agreed to communicate with each other. Therefore, everyone in the world was frightened and vigilant, and did not dare to commit lewdness. Therefore, the first lesson of this martial arts is:
Only by being compassionate and immersed in all things can we not be afraid of external things..."
What did she learn at the Dongting Lake? In fact, Luo Shuang'er couldn't explain clearly. She couldn't understand the profound and unfathomable principles in the master's mouth, but the master happily told her that not understanding was the shortcut to the south.
This is all just a fool’s self-deception.
"Dead things in this world are not to be feared, only living things are to be feared. If you could understand people's hearts, there would be nothing to fear in this world."
Master White Beard said this and taught Luo Shuang'er an unprecedented kung fu. Luo Shuang'er also learned from the master to open her heart and forget herself. Her own emotions were not important. The master taught her to create a layer of white frost in her heart.
Wrapping up the original seven emotions and six desires, it can be transformed into a mirror like the bright moon.
This Kung Fu is very magical. Not only can you master the martial arts taught by the master, but you can also detect the thoughts of the people around you. At first, Luo Shuang'er could only judge the other person's thoughts from subtle movements and expressions. Slowly,
She can already tell clues from the other person's eyes. Until now, even if Luo Shuang'er doesn't observe and identify a person, she can see the other person's emotions in her heart like a mirror.
As Luo Shuang'er's heart felt as empty as water, all the sword skills, fists and kicks, Nuo dance, and internal skills she came into contact with became something that came naturally and naturally. She learned it from her master without any hindrance. At the same time, she read
What's more, Master's anxiety is becoming more and more serious day by day, and his heart is far from being as bright and graceful as he appears on the surface.
From beginning to end, Master Whitebeard never revealed his name, let alone told Luo Shuang'er what the martial arts was called, until the scenery of Dongting Lake drifted away and the prosperity of Guangzhou Mansion came as expected.
She used to resent being sent to Dongting Lake, but Luo Shuang'er now had a clear conscience. When she returned to the Luo family in Guangzhou, she discovered that her father's hidden emotions were more complicated than she imagined.
The hair is completely different from what I remember.
Fortunately, some things don't need to be explained in detail, so Luo Shuang'er can be the first to know the mixed feelings in the other person's heart.
"My good daughter, don't blame your father for being cruel. You were too young to remember back then. If your father hadn't been careless and unprepared, you wouldn't have been thrown into the water by your enemies, and you wouldn't have developed this fear of water. Dongting Lake
There is nothing we can do in the past three years..."
This is what Luo Yuantong said to Luo Shuang'er, but Luo Shuang'er was no longer used to gossiping. The emotional fluctuations in her eyes were so clear that she abandoned weak words and only wanted to use emotions that would not deceive others.
Reply, but forgot that due to practicing martial arts, he is now cold and inhumane, talking and acting like a hollow puppet.
The last conversation between father and daughter was on the eve of leaving the Luo Mansion through the secret passage. What Luo Shuang'er felt from her father, Luo Yuantong, was the determination and joy of relief.

She asked Luo Yuantong, the Luo family has been guarding Yixi's things for so many years, but they were misunderstood by the people in the world. In their early years, they were called the one-legged robbers. Later,
He was also said to be a pawn of the Shang family, and after today he will only be infamy. Is this really worth it?
But Luo Yuantong burst out laughing on the spot.
"I was a lone thief back then, but what about the foundation of my family business now? As long as you, my daughter, can save your life, your father and I have never cared about the opinions of the world!"
She finally realized that she still didn't understand her father, and what's more, the mirror was empty after all. Luo Shuang'er saw a familiar face in her vague sight underwater. At this time, because there was no reference, it looked as cold as ice, like a mask.
The coldness from the bottom of the water gradually came, and her limbs began to lose control. Luo Shuang'er only felt that there was a cloud of smoke rising in front of her eyes, and the steaming clouds connected with the sky. Sometimes it was the stunning scenery of Dongting's steaming clouds, and sometimes it was her father sending her to survive before leaving.
eyes.
A wave of "shock" appeared in her heart that she hadn't seen for a long time, and it quickly spread to the point of being unstoppable. She had never doubted her father's intentions, but why was death approaching so fast now?
"Is this a way of survival or a way of death..."
A trace of astonishment came from Luo Shuang'er's heart, like a crisp sound of the thin ice about to break. The air was also exhausted while her heart and lungs were running. She finally saw the face of the cold seabed, which was filled with countless zombies on the seabed.
Lying down, their naked bodies looked like gray-white wax, their limbs were stiff and flexed, and their skins were covered with a thin layer of ice-like corpse wax. Their skin gradually turned into a uniform gray-white color, and they invariably stretched out their broken arms toward the top, as if
We are welcoming Luo Shuang'er to join them forever...
Luo Shuang'er's eyes were almost closed, but in the reflection on the bottom of the water, she suddenly discovered a group of men with ferocious postures piercing through the rough water and swimming towards her deep water. In an instant, they uglyly broke the peaceful and dreamlike environment.
, forcibly stuffed into one after another the emotions unique to living people, which reflected in her heart inexplicably.
The tattoos all over their bodies seemed to be burning, and their skin was swollen due to contact with the waves. They were so red that they seemed to bleed. However, they linked their arms with each other and swam to the bottom of the water. Their hazel pupils were really like those of snake-eyed lizards.
, dancing and fighting desperately against some invisible supernatural force.
Luo Shuang'er had no time to turn back, but a tugging force suddenly rose from the water, taking her slowly away from this dark water that was so deep that it would last forever, and even the world would be destroyed and no one would come to the surface. Maybe it was the lack of energy in her body.
Due to the hallucination caused by oxygen, Luo Shuang'er even felt that the underwater zombies opened their eyes and looked at her, as if regretting that she missed an opportunity to exist forever.
Luo Shuang'er, who was pulled toward the water at a high speed, was a little at a loss, like a person walking at night in the deep mountains suddenly encountering another living person, but what surprised her even more was that the hearts of these people who rushed into the water without fear of death actually reflected in their hearts.
There is no visible vitality and desire, but instead a familiar figure wearing a Taoist robe and a long sword flying across the sky is reflected invariably...
…………
In the second year of Deyou in the Southern Song Dynasty, the Yuan army crossed the Yangtze River and attacked Lin'an, the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty. Two princes, Zhao Shi and Zhao Bing, who were under ten years old, escaped from the tiger's mouth by chance and fled to Fujian under the escort of the "Three Heroes of the Late Song Dynasty" Lu Xiufu, Wen Tianxiang, Zhang Shijie and others.
, the Yuan army followed closely, and the monarchs and ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty were forced to flee to Quanzhou, Guangdong and other places for refuge, hiding in the Middle East in panic all day long. The prince Zhao Shi unexpectedly died of illness again, leaving only the prince Zhao Bing as the last hope of the Southern Song Dynasty.
Historically known as the Young Emperor of the Song Dynasty.
In 1279 AD, the second year of Xiangxing in the Southern Song Dynasty, at the last moment when the country was about to be destroyed, the monarchs and ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty chose a very heroic way to bid farewell to the stage of history. They concentrated all their strength and fought a life-and-death battle with the Yuan Dynasty army in Yashan, Guangdong.
.
At that time, all the southern inland was occupied by the Yuan army, and there was no place for the monarchs and ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty. Under the support of General Zhang Shijie, they formed a naval fleet and temporarily anchored it in Yashan, Guangdong. But before they could make their next plan,
, the Yuan Dynasty generals Zhang Hongfan from Han and Li Heng from Xixia immediately led their troops to follow. The two Yuan armies, one from the north and the other from the south, completely blocked the retreat route of the Southern Song navy.
Zhang Hongfan was the leading general at the time. He knew that the Yuan army was not good at water warfare, so he was not in a hurry to engage in a decisive battle with the Southern Song navy. Instead, he adopted the posture of surrounding but not fighting. Zhang Hongfan's military ability was obviously higher than that of the Southern Song general Zhang Shijie.
Seeing that one of the weaknesses of the Song army was that it relied on fresh water and firewood supplies from land and islands, they "blocked the light boats with sentinel boats and cut off the road for woodcutters" and first sent troops to cut off the fresh water and firewood supply channels in the Southern Song Dynasty.
As a result, more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians of the Southern Song Dynasty were stranded on sea ships. "Everyone ate dry food and drank salty water for more than ten days, and they were all too tired to fight." They could only eat cold dry food to satisfy their hunger. If they were so thirsty, they even drank sea water. As a result, "the sea is salty and you will vomit after drinking it."
"The troops are in deep trouble", the combat effectiveness was seriously weakened, and the situation became increasingly unfavorable to the emperor and ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty. Although the 7-year-old little emperor Zhao Bing was not very sensible, the dignified expressions of the ministers and soldiers made him feel vaguely that something was not good.
At the most critical moment, a supporting army from the Southern Song Dynasty suddenly appeared on the sea.
This support force is a simple fleet with a strange appearance. They are all fishing boats with black awnings. The people on board, men, women, old and young, all have tattoos on their faces. They are all in black and white. They are all Dan people living in the rivers on the Lingnan coast.
, after hearing about the war, he spontaneously came to rescue the little emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, carrying food, grass and fresh water.
The battle zone of this Yashan naval battle was located in Jiangmen, not far from where the Dan family lived. No one expected that these people who were usually not noticed would arouse their patriotism and spontaneously embark on the war when the Southern Song Dynasty was ruined and their families were destroyed.
The battlefield. "Guochao Wenlei" records that these Dan family members organized more than a thousand people, drove their own "Wuziao boats", and bravely came to Yashan, hoping to use their diving skills to contribute to the country and rescue the Southern Song Dynasty Xiaoxiao.
emperor.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Ying Laodao couldn't hide his worry when he talked about the three hundred and eighty years ago, but it seemed like it was happening right in front of him. The changes in the world were difficult to predict, and no one could predict them.
I didn't expect that the witnesses of the late Song Dynasty would meet them on such an occasion, but it was full of twists and turns, which made me sad.
Unfortunately, the Southern Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers in the encirclement were hesitant and missed this last glimmer of hope. However, Yuan Army General Zhang Hongfan responded immediately. He sent a fleet to outflank the Dan family's retreat late at night and launched a night attack.
"They chose small boats at night, sneaked out from the west of the harbor, and sailed across the north with black dragon boats, and charged them with warships on both sides of the bank." As a result, these brave Dan people "were all sea dwellers and had no idea of fighting." They were attacked by the Yuan army in their sleep.
They were helpless and suffered heavy casualties. The monarchs and ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty witnessed this scene with their own eyes, but "did not dare to help and had no basis to advance or retreat." As a result, more than a thousand Dan family members were "attacked and killed."
"But do you know, Master Jiang, that this matter is actually not that simple? The Yamen area was already isolated from the enemy at that time. No matter how ignorant the Song people are about military affairs, they would not choose to do things in other people's dojos."
Ying Laodao looked at Jiang Wen in a deep voice, "Besides, the Song army connected the warships with iron ropes in the bay, and placed the imperial ship in the middle to show that they would fight to the death. The general Zhang Shijie even burned the palaces and houses on the shore.
The stronghold cut off the escape route. This move was a desperate move or a desperate move. It obviously had more advantages than disadvantages, and instead gave the initiative on the shore to the Yuan army."
"I had a lot of doubts at first, until I came to this ancient village..."
"Although the Song army claimed to have 200,000 men, most of them were civil servants, eunuchs, and palace maids. Therefore, Lu Xiufu and Zhang Shijie recruited troops in Zhangqiugang Village on a large scale. The ancestors of the villagers were lucky enough to escape, and they passed on the instructions before their death.
There is a strange thing for future generations - the general Zhang Shijie observed the sky day and night a few days before the decisive battle, and seemed to be confident about victory. Everyone just thought that there would be magic soldiers descending from the sky to defeat the enemy..."
Ying Laodao was hoarse and did not finish his words, but the scene in front of him no longer required him to say anything. Many historical details naturally appeared in front of Jiang Wen's eyes.
You must know that until later generations, many people still have disputes about the course of the Yashan Naval Battle.
Some people believe that the Battle of Yashan was not the true destruction of the Southern Song Dynasty, nor did Lu Xiufu and Zhao Bing die by jumping into the sea at Yashan.
Because according to the escape route of Lu Xiufu and others, Lu Xiufu took Zhao Bing and fled all the way to Naozhou. At this time, the Yuan army suffered heavy losses in three battles at Leizhou. It was obvious that they were not good at water warfare because they did not cross the sea, and Yashan was to the north of Naozhou.
, the north is the direction in which the Yuan army is attacking them. Zhao Bing and his party tried their best to escape from the front, and then turned around to the north and faced the attacking Yuan army again. This is obviously unreasonable, unless the Song army
It has a special strategic dependence on Yamen.
Another important controversy concerns the scale of the war.
Although Lu Xiufu and others were on the run, they had nearly 200,000 people on board and thousands of ships. On the other hand, the size of the Yuan army was simply not comparable. The Yuan army only had more than 20,000 soldiers and no more than 1,000 ships.
It's only a few hundred, and naval warfare is not the Yuan army's advantage.
The Song army even prepared wet mud and long logs to deal with the fire attack. How could the Yuan army sink all the huge Southern Song army in one day? And why could He attack and annihilate the entire army in one fell swoop? Therefore, it is even more important that
