Prosperous Tang special forces

Chapter 153 Meiling Ancient Road
Everyone walked together all the way, and the addition of a capable man like Sun Simiao in the team naturally won everyone's respect.In other places, Sun Simiao may not be so valued by others, but making friends with Sun Simiao in Lingnan is undoubtedly a layer of insurance for his life.Anyway, there was no need to pay to say hello, so from time to time someone came to salute Sun Simiao.

Everyone came to say hello frequently, although the girl was a little impatient, but there was no trouble again.After knowing that the beggar is pregnant and is a woman, although the girl is unwilling to let this woman eat and drink with them, but thinking that wolves and tigers and leopards are everywhere here, it is not easy to drive her away.

In this way, the group of people moved forward slowly without incident. Since Liu Shanren and Sun Simiao were old acquaintances, they were invited into a carriage. Although it was full of goods, it was better than walking.

Along the way, Liu Shanren stared at the beggar from time to time, but he couldn't tell from his eyes that this was a big yellow girl.Being able to walk with Sun Simiao, Liu Shanren didn't dare to be too presumptuous, and just asked about the origin of this person.After hearing the girl say that he met on the road, his attitude changed a lot, and he approached the beggar intentionally or unintentionally.

Seeing Liu Shanren accosting him frequently, although the beggar wanted to avoid it, he couldn't escape now that he was with everyone, so he could only dodge with a laugh.

The girl who originally had a slight liking for Liu Shanren now loathed him.Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that Liu Shanren has become lustful and wants to record this woman.But the beggar's honesty made Liu Shanren a little angry, but he didn't dare to show it too much, after all, this person was with Sun Simiao.

Because it was a caravan, everyone walked a little slowly. It took a few days to reach the depths of the Meiling Ancient Road, but the weather here still made everyone unable to adapt.Fortunately, Sun Simiao was with him, and he gave them some pills made of herbs and ate them, which relieved the distress they had been experiencing along the way.

However, the little beggar, who had never traveled far since he was a child, was a little bit distressed at this time, and he was groggy all the way.If it weren't for Sun Simiao's care, she might have fainted on the road.

The hot and dry weather makes people feel bad.After showing love to the little beggar several times and being declined, Liu Shanren's attitude towards the little beggar has become worse and worse. If it wasn't for Sun Simiao's face, he might have exploded already.Eating his food and drinking his food, at this moment, he was honest with himself.

Before he could get mad, a large group of people suddenly gathered on the road ahead, and they stopped in an open area.Seeing that there were at least a thousand people, and seeing someone coming, the leading young man walked over with a few entourages.Seeing the young man, Liu Shanren hurriedly jumped off the carriage, and seeing Liu Shanren get off the carriage, the rest followed.

The young man cupped his hands to Liu Shanren and said, "Brother Liu is going to Lingnan too?"

Seeing the young man clasping his hands, Liu Shanren hurriedly replied, "So it's Brother Wang, what are you doing here?"

The young man surnamed Wang sighed and said: "The mountain in front has collapsed and blocked the road. It has been blocked for more than half a month. All the pedestrians who come and go have been blocked here. Many people have turned back, but Those pedestrians can still pass through the path, but our goods can't get through, so we gather here."

Hearing that the road was blocked, Liu Shanren became a little anxious, and hurriedly said, "Then shall we wait here? The weather here is humid, or we should open the road quickly, and it will be a disaster if the goods get moldy."

The young man also nodded and said: "We are trying to find a way to expand. The people on both sides have been waiting for a long time. There are fewer people here, but more people on the other side of the mountain. Where are all the people in a radius of tens of miles?" .The mountain is about to be dug open."

"Oh, I didn't expect you, Brother Wang, to be so courageous. You can gather so many people to open the way."

The young man shook his head and said, "I don't have this ability. The people of this generation are tough. It's good that I don't get robbed with so many things. If I dare to gather so many people, it's Marshal Long who was recruited from a nearby mountain village." Yes, even the bandits in the mountains were captured by him, and they are digging mountains there."

"Bandits? How many people are there?"

"I'm afraid it's not less than three thousand."

Hearing the [-] bandits, Liu Shanren shivered for a while, looked at his goods and said, "Why are there so many? Then can we keep these things?"

The young man chuckled and said, "Don't worry, they don't dare to act presumptuously with Marshal Long around."

"How many soldiers and horses did he bring?"

"three hundred"

"Three hundred? Are you kidding me? Three hundred people dare to blast three thousand bandits together. If something goes wrong, we all will suffer."

Hearing what Liu Shanren said, the young man was a little unhappy. Before he could speak, a man in armor came over and cupped his hands at the young man and said, "Mr. Wang, our marshal let you pass."

The young man nodded, cupped his hands to Liu Shanren and said, "Brother Liu, you guys wait again, I'll go first."

Seeing that the young man was about to leave, Liu Shanren hurriedly stopped the young man and said, "Brother Wang, walk slowly. The hot weather here may be inconvenient, and everyone is somewhat uncomfortable. The old man beside me is the famous Mr. Sun Simiao. Let him take the place Let’s all take a look so that everyone can pay attention.”

The young man glanced at Liu Shanren, and suddenly bowed his hands respectfully to Sun Simiao who was beside him and said, "I have met Mr. Sun in Wangyan, and Mr. Sun's name is already well-known in my ears. It is a great fortune to meet you today."

Seeing the young man being so respectful, Sun Simiao was very surprised. His tepid attitude towards Liu Shanren just now made Sun Simiao think that he was an arrogant boy, but he did not expect that he was so polite in a flash.

Just as they were talking, there was a burst of cheers from the other side of the mountain stream, the young man frowned and before he could speak, a servant trotted over and said, "My lord, the mountain road has been dug through."

Hearing that the mountain road had been dug through, Wang Yan hurriedly saluted Sun Simiao and said, "Mr. Sun, where is Captain Long?

Sun Simiao caressed his beard and smiled, "It is a blessing to be old to meet young talents like Marshal Long. How could there be a gift not to follow?"

Wang Yan nodded and said: "Then please, I will lead the way for Mr." He walked to the front while talking and laughing.

When they arrived, both sides of the mountain stream were filled with mounds as high as hills. These were debris cleared from the road in the mountain stream, which showed how tightly blocked the mountain road was this time.

And around the mound, a dense crowd gathered, at least tens of thousands of people, with different images, including monks, Taoists, civilian officials, and fierce-looking bandits.But at this time, everyone was covered in dirt, obviously they had put in a lot of effort, and at the highest point of the hill, Long Feiyu was also covered in dust.Wiped the sweat from his brow.Staring at a group of people, he said loudly: "Fathers of Meiling, you already know my identity. I am Long Feiyu, the new governor appointed by His Majesty."

Everyone was silent, Long Feiyu's name was not only famous in other ways, but also useful in Lingnan. Although the effect was not great, it was definitely enough as a deterrent.

Seeing the appearance of everyone, Long Feiyu continued: "I know that you don't trust the officials of the imperial court, and you don't believe that we will bring you any practical benefits. But that is also because of your own reasons.

There are a lot of people here, but most of you think that you are descendants of sinners. Indeed, Lingnan has been a place of exile for criminals since the pre-Qin period, and the blood of sin flows in your body. "

Long Feiyu's words made the group angry, and the expressions on their faces were so ugly that even Liu Shanren was ready to run away.Seeing their reaction, Long Feiyu continued: "The disaster is not as good as your descendants. Your ancestors may have made mistakes in a certain dynasty, but how long has passed and how long has the dynasty changed. Today is the Tang Dynasty. As their Future generations, you have done nothing wrong and they have paid for their actions.

Now that it is your turn, this great river and mountain has been handed over to you, but look at this barren field, this dilapidated house, are you going to be so decadent? You are the people of my Tang Dynasty.I don't want a place called the Exiled Lands left on our land.

We have hands and feet, and we can create a new Meiling and a new Lingnan with our own efforts.Dress up this river, mountain, and this home, we are no worse than anyone else.All that is missing is a united confidence and a straightened chest.Don't care about other people's mocking eyes, we want to prove with our hands that our Lingnan is no longer a sinner in the eyes of others, can you do it? "

Long Feiyu's words left everyone speechless, and no one wanted to run around the world in the name of a sinner.However, some people still shouted: "What's the use of you saying this? Who will believe what you said? Your officials don't believe it themselves. How can you make us believe that the current imperial court has already abandoned Lingnan. Maybe it is only in the release of criminals. It’s time to remember.”

Long Feiyu snorted, "Do you think I'm a sinner? Why did Your Majesty let me come to Lingnan, just to change the appearance of Lingnan. In order to change the Tang Dynasty, I took the position of Minister of the Household Department, and now the Tang Dynasty has passed At the most difficult moment, Lingnan was still so dilapidated. His Majesty couldn't bear it, so he let me drop everything and come to Lingnan. Now that I am here, no one can stop the rise of Lingnan. If you don't keep your law, you will add to the prosperity of my Tang Dynasty , in the name of a sinner, acting like I am a sinner and I am afraid of someone, running all over Lingnan, looting houses everywhere, don't blame me for being rude.

In your eyes, this is a place beyond the control of Datang's laws, but in my eyes, there are laws wherever I go.My law is established for all those who keep their own place and love peace, and those who violate the law and break the rules will be killed. This Meiling ancient road is the only way out on the back. Anyone who dares to loot on this ancient road will be killed. , this time you people from the mountains did a good job.

I don't want to pursue the past. I still take back the 50 taels of silver you obtained illegally. It will be used to widen the ancient Meiling Road and build our home. Starting today, all cottages will be burned down.All those who want to get something for nothing and rely on plunder to make a living, let me settle down and go home to farm. If there is any repeat offender, they will be punished. "

Long Feiyu's sonorous and forceful words made those bandits dizzy, but they didn't dare to say anything. They didn't dare to say anything about those who broke through their stronghold in just a few days.

Looking at the tough men standing in front, Long Feiyu said with a smile: "The four of you have made great efforts to annihilate these people for me this time, and I will report to His Majesty to exonerate you from your crimes, and follow me in the future to fight for you." Contribute to the future of Lingnan."

The four looked at each other and hurriedly cupped their hands and said, "Thank you, sir."

Long Feiyu waved his hand, continued to look at the crowd and said, "You haven't answered what I said just now, can you do it by jointly building Lingnan?"

"can do"

"Didn't you eat?"

Long Feiyu's angry shout stunned everyone and shouted "I can do it" almost at the same time

Hearing their shouts, Long Feiyu nodded and said: "Okay, this time the construction of the Meiling Ancient Road has contributed a lot to the surrounding monasteries and Taoist temples, and some common people have also played a leading role. I have already let people I have recorded your contributions, and I will report to the Ministry of War to award you a rank of lord for those who have made a small contribution this time."

Hearing what Long Feiyu said, the group of people were astonished but also a little happy and said: "My lord, we are sinners and we can still get the title. Isn't this a dream?"

Long Feiyu snorted and said, "Who says you are sinners? As long as the court has not pronounced a sentence, no one can prove your guilt. I say confer nobles, and you will be conferred. After a few days, the official documents from the court will be issued, and your county magistrate will send the documents to you." Here it is for you, after a busy day, everyone should go back under the leadership of their respective chiefs."
