Chapter 154: Disbanding the King's Guard
Going south to Ganzhou, the terrain is complex and the mountains and forests are densely packed.
A large open space was cut out from a bamboo forest. Luo Yongsheng, who was being chased by the court, sat on the ground with a thick ancient tree and watched quietly with the book in his hand.
The sound of footsteps sounded in the forest, and a man walked out and headed straight for Luo Yongsheng.
"Father, have a drink of water."
"Ying'er is here." Luo Yongsheng looked up and saw that it was Luo Chengying, so he reached out to take the kettle, patted the open space beside him and said, "Sit down."
The latter thanked Luo Yongsheng and sat on the ground, but he was silent and did not speak rashly.
No one knows his son is better than his father. Luo Yongsheng saw at a glance that Cheng Ying had something in his heart, and then took the initiative to say, "If you have something, say it, you, my father and son don't need to hide it like this."
"yes."
Cheng Ying nodded and said, "Father, my son's minister has recently fled to Ganzhou to find out the news. He saw the court's banner, saying that the six states were exempted from taxes for three years and Hongzhou was exempted from five years. Moreover, in the past few years, the court will not impose labor service in these places.
In addition, the court set up some winter clothes and winter food, and the people quickly stabilized."
Seeing that Luo Yongsheng still didn't say anything, Cheng Ying was anxious and continued, "Father, if you give the court time like this, I am afraid that the people we have finally gathered in the six states will return to the pseudo-Song."
"Is that right?" Luo Yongsheng smiled and asked, "But there is other news. Kou Wei was banned by Zhao Heng when he returned to Tokyo. Who will take over the shift?"
"I heard that Lei Youzhong was the governor of Yizhou who supervised the Wang Junshu regime."
"What are you afraid of?"
When he heard that it was Lei Youzhong, Luo Yongsheng laughed: "Cheng Ying, do you remember how many refugees from Yizhou we received in Hongzhou when Lei Youzhong suppressed the rebellion of Yizhou?"
Cheng Ying was stunned at first, then hesitated for a moment, "It seems there are eight thousand."
"Have these refugees ever said why they fled Yizhou?"
"The military discipline of the court was corrupt." Luo Chengying also had a lit sight: "The army in the southwest passed by like a comb, and plundered everything was done. The people were in great distress to avoid the disaster of war, so they fled thousands of miles to the south of the Yangtze River, forming a huge disaster of refugees thousands of miles."
"Lei Youzhong is the man. He has the ability, but his prestige is not enough and he cannot suppress the three armies."
Luo Yongsheng said disdainfully: "He is not Kou Yan, but a big-headed warrior at the root. Now he suddenly serves as the commander of the three armies to fight against the orphans, but he does not know the components of the three armies.
The Tianwu Army is the Central Imperial Army, the Huaiyang Army, and the Taiping Army are also the Jiangnan Army. Who would have been convinced by him, a mere Yizhou Jiedu. It was known that Lei Youzhong suppressed the rebellion in the southwest. This person was cautious and weak by nature, and was used to turning a blind eye to his colleagues' bad deeds, so the military discipline of the pseudo-Song army in the southern expedition would not be much better."
"But for so long, I haven't heard of any scandals in the court army." Luo Chengying didn't quite understand: "Before Kou left, he left a list of civilized people in the six states to make sure that the court would be completely unjust. Now Zhao Heng has issued an imperial edict and this matter, so how dare the three armies disobey."
Luo Yongsheng put away the book, got up from the ground and patted his butt: "The three armies are obedient, but some people will not obey. They have not yet won't fight back their interests. How could they be willing to watch the three armies be invincible? So don't worry."
Cheng Ying was not confused and explained, Luo Yongsheng arranged: "Okay, don't worry about the affairs of the court. We will finish our own affairs first. You can inform Yan Zhen now. I have important things."
"promise."
Luo Chengying took his life and left. Soon another man came out of the forest, and this person was Yan Zhen, the new commander of the Jun Guard.
This man had served as the governor of the First Guard and participated in the First Wuning Defense Battle. He was one of the first veterans of the Jun Guard.
"What is the command of the king who called the last emperor?"
When Yan Zhen bowed respectfully when he met, he was supported by Luo Yongsheng: "Don't call me the king, I still prefer to listen to you call me my mentor, just like we have met for the first time."
Yan Zhen showed emotion on his face and said sincerely: "Students have met their mentor."
"Okay, okay."
Luo Yongsheng nodded with satisfaction and called Yan Zhen to sit down. He sighed first, and said with a sad expression: "I am determined to die in Wuning and sacrificed my great Chu king's career. He is only twenty-one years old this year."
Hearing this, Yan Zhen couldn't help but show a hint of sadness on his face. He and Gu Youzhi had been in love for four years, so how could the Jun Gu Gu Gu, which they founded together, have no feelings?
Now that Gu Youzhi has sacrificed, Yan Zhen feels heartbroken.
But this sadness disappeared quickly. Yan Zhen still calmed down his mood, held his head up and said firmly: "The Jun Guard was founded with ambition, and the Jun Guard's philosophy was also established.
Our philosophy is to defend the king and the king's throne. Death for the king is the highest honor of our king's guards. The king's throne is always burning in our hearts. When we die in battle, this king's throne will support us to fly into the sky, so students are happy for their ambitions.”
"But he is still so young, he has not yet married or had children."
"My teacher once said that some people in this world are alive but dead, while some people are dead, but they live forever in our hearts."
Yan Zhen shouted: "Although Youzhi died in battle, he still lives in the hearts of all the robes of the Jungu. His ideas will be inherited by us and will continue to develop, so Youzhi did not die!"
"You are the pride of Gu." Luo Yongsheng looked directly at Yan Zhen and proudly patted the latter's shoulder: "How can you have you, a group of innocent children, as students? Gu is proud of you. When we win in the future, Gu will write your names into historical books and let future generations sing for thousands of years."
"Student thanked Wang En." Yan Zhen's backbone was even more straight than that of the bamboo forest, and he asked loudly: "I also ask my teacher to give me instructions. Anyone who is driven, the guards will be willing to go through fire and water for their mentors."
Luo Yongsheng nodded and then said in a deep voice.
"I want you to disband on the spot."
!!!
Yan Zhen was shocked and was about to ask the reason, when he saw Luo Yongsheng opening his mouth and listening quietly.
"Our army has only more than 4,000 veterans left. These soldiers are elite soldiers brought out by Gu for a few years, and the morale of the army is stable. Continuing to keep the Jun Guard in the army is a waste of your talents, so Gu needs you to disband and disperse, not to follow the army, but to spread out in a wide range of stars."
“Where to go?”
"Where do you go?"
Luo Yongsheng raised his arm and stroked his fingers around: "You can go up the mountain, go to the countryside, go wherever you want, go wherever you want, go wherever you hide, go to the dense forests, go between hills, valleys and fields, but the most important thing is to go to places with people.
Tell them who you are and what you are doing; teach the people to read and read. Bi Sheng has compiled all the content that Orphan taught you in the past two years and printed it into a book. Now you can take these books.
If you hear the news of Gu retake of Nanchang in the future, you will come back. Perhaps the Jun Guard will grow dozens of times at that time.
If you heard that Gu was defeated and died, Gu also hopes that you can uphold Gu's will and continue to fight to overthrow the incompetent Zhao Song Dynasty."
"Yes!" Yan Zhen replied loudly with tears in his eyes: "Please don't worry, the Jungu will definitely live up to his mission and train more students for his mentor as quickly as possible."
"Go."
Seeing Luo Yongsheng waving his hand, Yan Zhen bowed his knees and kowtowed solemnly: "Teacher, take care of me."
"Everyone said that our Great Chu will not promote the kneeling ceremony."
"This is a ceremony for students to worship their teachers. It is a ceremony passed down by our ancestors and our roots. Students dare not forget it."
After saying that, he kowtowed twice before getting up, tidied up his expression, took a deep breath and turned around and left.
Seeing Yan Zhen’s back disappear, Luo Yongsheng took back his gaze after a long time and muttered, “Cheng Jie is still in Nanchang City.”
A man walked out of the dense forest and bowed and said, "Go back to Father, yes."
"Let him prepare."
Luo Yongsheng raised his head and drank the water in the pot: "The time is ripe."
