The Unjust System and My War-Crazy Self

The cold wind of early spring, bringing with it a few cool ripples, visited the island that was barely visible in the waves.

At this moment, on the shore of the island, a group of people were standing there, looking up at the sea.

The leader among them was a man dressed like a scholar.

He wrapped his head with a scarf, and some black hair was faintly visible at the edge.

Obviously, this man did not shave his head.

"Why haven't you come yet?"

But now, there was no trace of literary expression on the face of this scholar.

He looked at the seashore, his face full of anxiety. He stood up, then sat down, jumping up and down like a monkey.

"It's time for him to come." The scholar murmured.

"Mr. Cangshui." The servant boy beside the scholar said softly.

"It's only early morning."

"Even if someone comes back today, it will take until noon at the earliest."

"Why don't you go back and have dinner first?"

"How can I have the mood to eat now?" The scholar known as Mr. Cangshui shook his head.

Zhang Cangshui, also known as Zhang Huangyan, was a native of Zhejiang Province. He was a rare all-round talent in literature and martial arts in the late Meng Dynasty.

When the Qiang army marched southward, slaughtered people in Jiangnan, and the country was about to collapse, this young scholar, who was only 25 years old, resolutely gave up his pen and took up arms, and raised the banner of anti-Qiao in eastern Zhejiang and Zhoushan.

but·.......

Nan Meng is completely rotten.

It was simply not a situation that he and his weak anti-Qian volunteer army could turn the tide.

Although Zhang Huangyan struggled to hold on, he united with Zheng and anti-Cheng volunteer forces from all over the country, fought several times in eastern Zhejiang, and achieved some small results.

But in the end, due to their weak strength, they were unable to achieve any major breakthroughs.

With the demise of the Yongli regime in the southwest and the death of Koxinga, the situation of widespread foul smells made Zhang Huangyan completely desperate.

He dismissed the rebel forces around him, lived in seclusion on an island, and maintained his last bit of loyalty to his homeland.

Under the strict defense and search of the Qin army, Mr. Cangshui would sooner or later leak the news and be arrested by the Qin army who had been keeping a close eye on him, and finally be executed.

Zhang Huangyan was also mentally prepared for this and was always ready to sacrifice his life for his country.

But since last year, the imperial court has relaxed its search for Zhang Huangyan.

The bandits in the southwest are almost in chaos, and they really don't have the time to cause trouble for a frustrated survivor.

Zhang Huangyan, who lived in seclusion on an island, was not well-informed because of the maritime ban. It was not until Geng Jimao started the rebellion that he realized that the situation in the world had changed again.

And it's getting faster-

While he was still hesitating between contacting his old subordinates and preparing for an uprising and then waiting to see the situation, Shu Yichao was about to reach Fujian.

This made Zhang Huangyan ecstatic.

"One day, as he journeys east to Zhejiang in his plain carriage, the raging waves will surely be his fault."

"First, the King of Dian swept across the southwest, then the Geng clan rebelled, and the Zheng clan came ashore-

"If all the righteous men work together."

"There is hope for the restoration of our country and our people, there is hope!"

Unfortunately, Zhang Huangyan’s joy didn’t last long before bad news arrived.

Shu Yichao did integrate with other anti-wrong forces, but it was not the kind of integration he had hoped for.

When Zhang Huangyan heard that the anti-Xian "alliance" had a conflict, his face turned pale.

He is too familiar with this kind of thing.

A conflict arose, internal evidence was given, the brothers read the wall, and then the army took advantage of the opportunity to enter -

The reason why Nan Meng was doomed was probably due to this process.

"No, we must not let the past happen again."

Zhang Huangyan immediately decided to come out and act as a guarantor for the peace between the various forces.

The good situation we have finally achieved must not be wasted.

But before that, he had to find out the specific information outside.

We waited from early morning until noon, and from noon until afternoon, until the sun was about to set, but no boat appeared on the sea.

"....." Zhang Huangyan's face was full of loneliness.

"Mr. Cangshui, it seems that we won't get any news today." His servant advised again.

"Let's go back first."

"Wait a little longer." Zhang Huangyan murmured.

After a while.

There was still no small boat coming on the sea.

"Oh." Zhang Huangyan sighed lightly and turned to leave.

But at this moment

"Mr. Cangshui, look!!"

Zhang Huangyan turned around suddenly and saw a small boat that appeared in the afterglow of the sunset without him knowing when.

"Hahaha!"

"Very good!"

“It’s finally here!”

As soon as the boat stopped, Zhang Huangyan jumped onto the boat impatiently and asked anxiously.

"What's wrong?"

"What happened?"

But the people who went to inquire about the news brought back some heavy bad news for Zhang Huangyan.

"The Prince of Yanping was driven back to the island by the Prince of Dian?"

"Half of your navy troops were killed or wounded?"

"The Qiang army defeated the Geng army several times. Has Geng Fan shaved his head and surrendered?"

When Zhang Huangyan heard the bad news, his thin body became shaky and he could hardly stand.

"how so!"

“Why is this happening?!”

He beat his chest and stamped his feet, tears streaming down his face.

"Could it be that those Tartars are truly destined to be the rulers of the world?"

"Mr. Cangshui..." After Zhang Huangyan cried for a long time, the man spoke hesitantly.

"Well, I haven't finished yet..."

"....Is there any other bad news?" Zhang Huangyan's face was haggard, as if he had aged a dozen years in an instant.

"Go ahead."

His voice was hoarse.

"I can bear it."

"Mr. Cangshui, it's good news."

"Haha, what other good news can there be?" Zhang Huangyan waved his hand.

"That is..." The man thought for a while before speaking slowly.

"It seems the King of Dian is about to attack Yingtian Prefecture."

. "

"Yingtian? Nandu!?" Zhang Huangyan blinked and jumped up.

"Why didn't you say so earlier!?"

You didn't ask.

The man swallowed the words back in grievance.

Jiangning.

This majestic and magnificent capital of the former dynasty looks so majestic and magnificent in the early spring sunshine.

Zhongshan Mountain in the east winds around like a coiled dragon, while Shitou Mountain in the west stands majestically on the bank of the river like a tiger.

The mighty Yangtze River flows northeast from Jinchuan Gate. Amidst the surging waves, a dazzling golden light flashes from time to time.

"Clap."

Echu stopped and the warhorse under him was panting, obviously very tired.

Not only him, but also the thousands of soldiers following him were dusty and exhausted.

"Finally caught up!"

Although Jiangning City at this moment has lost its former tranquility and peace, it seems to be in chaos.

But at least there was no big banner with the word "萌" (cute) hanging on the top of the city wall.

"Labu, that bastard!"

"If he hadn't escaped all the way—

"How could the situation be so critical!" General Jiang Ning Echu gritted his teeth.

Originally, they were fighting well in Fujian, but Geng Jimao was defeated and surrendered, and Fujian changed its flag again.

No matter how you look at it, the Xuan army has regained the initiative.

The next step is to wait for the Jiangxi war to end, and then the several armies will decide whether to attack or stalemate based on the situation.

But just when they were waiting for the Jiangxi Legion to come up with a big one, the Jiangxi Legion pulled a big one instead -

Shangshan and Yue Le died in battle, and the entire army was wiped out.

We have experienced the same kind of defeat a while ago.

But the general Labu's escape without fighting caused the situation to collapse instantly.

The leading general has run away, so what can the remaining troops do?

So Shu Yichao went down the river and easily captured Anqing, Wuhu and other places without encountering any resistance throughout the whole process. He then headed straight for Nando, intending to take over Jiangnan in one battle.

The Fujian troops were frightened out of their wits.

Labu is such a jerk!

If Nandu is lost, the retreat route of the entire Fujian Corps will be cut off, and no one will be able to return to the north.

Therefore, Jieshu immediately asked Echu and Li Zhifang to rush to Nandu as quickly as possible.

This place must not be lost!

Jieshu didn't expect the two of them to be able to defend Jiangning.

But as long as they can hold on for half a month, the Fujian army will find an opportunity to retreat.

"Fortunately, we caught up." Li Zhifang, who was also exhausted, looked at the Nandu in front of him which had not been lost yet, and his heart finally settled down.

"General, we must enter the city immediately and organize its defense."

"Also, quickly dispatch troops from the city to garrison Dasheng Pass!"

"Yes, yes." Echu nodded repeatedly.

Dasheng Pass is a key pass leading to Nando. If you want to defend Nando, you must first defend Dasheng Pass.
