Chapter 161: Xiuqing is determined to rebel
I don't know what tricks Mai Ke taught Liuhua, anyway, in the future, Tang Yan felt that this wooden man suddenly opened his mind, and he actually knew that he was shushing himself and asking for warmth, which was pleasing to others. I also send a flower from time to time, a gadget I made, a note or something, so that I look forward to getting something more every day, and guess what I will send next.
As a result, since then, these small and unspoken things have become the main content, and more important things such as the Tang family's cooperation are needed, but they have become rabbits with grass and rabbits.
The two of them didn't care about how long they talked, anyway, they didn't sleep at the end, and Mai Ke sent Liuhua away directly. In the past few days, Liuhua has been thinking about the "Yizhou Policy" team, and as soon as the matter here is over, he immediately rushed to meet them.
Liuhua didn't meet Tang Yan to say goodbye, but just left a note with four words written on it - there will be a period later. This is also the way he decided to say goodbye after being taught by Mai Ke.
There is no time and place, but you can say goodbye, which is more subtle, and there is a lot of room for similarity. What's more, there will be no disappointment in the future, and goodbye will be an absolute surprise.
After sending Liuhua to join his team, Mai Ke went back directly. Starling Hu Yihuang is waiting for him, and he wants to fight back to the Hu family's hometown with him, mobilize the entire Hu family, and join the kingdom of heaven.
Mai Ke, who was sleeping on the back of the clouded leopard and resting for a while, suddenly received an early warning, opened the "Lingxi Movement" and saw that it was the second brother Yang Xiutian, who had not been in contact for a long time, looking for him.
Since the collective crossing and separate actions, the second brother has been around Yang Xiuqing, the object of his agreed crossing, and there must be urgent matters at this time. So Mai Ke immediately got guò "on an idea" and started a conversation with his second brother.
"Second brother is good, I haven't seen each other for a long time, how are you okay?"
"You kid is happy everywhere, but my brother and I are in this remote place, facing an arrogant guy all day long. Fortunately, things have changed in the past few days. Well, do you have time to come over for a moment?"
"Hahaha! Second brother has worked hard. When the matter is finished here, I will give the second brother a long vacation for a year and a half, and go anywhere as I want to make up for it. Is that okay?"
While talking to the second brother, Mai Ke turned a corner and let the clouded leopard fly towards the location of the second brother.
"Second brother, I'll go and meet you. Tell me about Yang Xiuqing's situation. ”
"You're still so impatient, can't you wait until we meet?"
"I'm walking alone, bored, a little sleepy, and the clouded leopard can't speak. So listen to you talk about Yang Xiuqing, so that I don't fall asleep, fall down, and delay the second brother's affairs. ”
The clouded leopard's reaction: "Although I don't say it, I know it in my heart." Better than your talkative master. You're so poor that you're going to knock my ears out. A lunge shook the master, who was talking to his heart's content.
Mai Ke knew the clouded leopard's intentions, laughed, and said to the second brother: "I won't say it, just listen to the second brother, so as not to annoy the little leopard leopard." ”
After being separated for so long, and hearing the voice of the little brother that he had not seen for a long time, Hugh couldn't help but feel open. Then he concisely told the situation of the crossing object that he had learned.
In this way, Yang Xiuqing was born in the third year of Daoguang, that is, in 1823, and his birthday was August 19.
When he was born, his family was very poor, his father was Yang Yaqi, and his mother's surname was Gu. Not only was his family poor, but he also lost his father at an early age. When he was five years old, his father died. By the age of nine, my mother had also died. He was raised by his uncle Yang Qingshan.
When Yang Xiuqing became an adult, he could not get the land to cultivate, so he had to plant the mountains and burn charcoal as a business, just like the poor peasants in the mountains.
"Like Zeng Yuzhen, they're the same?" Mai Ke thought of another group of charcoal burners.
When the farm was busy, Yang Xiuqing planted some maize, sweet potatoes and other food crops on the steep and barren slopes, or planted some indigo cash crops.
After the farming time, Yang Xiuqing went into the mountains to cut down forests and cut wood, and in the hot summer, he went to the kiln to burn charcoal. In winter, they crossed the mountains and mountains, picked out the charcoal out of the new market to sell, and after the merchant's exploitation, it was exchanged for less than one liter and half a bucket. All year round, he lived a life of hunger and cold.
But people have good and bad luck, when Yang Xiuqing was poor, he had a distant uncle who died, and succeeded him as his stepson on his deathbed, leaving him with all the wealth of the family, making him one of the richest people in the local area.
Since then, his life has changed dramatically. At the same time, his heart has also changed, and becoming an official and making a fortune has become his pursuit.
Mai Ke knew that in actual history, Yang Xiuqing participated in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom rebellion with this concept, and also made important contributions in the early days of the Heavenly Kingdom.
After his ambition succeeded, his original ambition was not controlled, but swelled even more, and he even scolded the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan under the pretense of "Heavenly Father descended to earth", and single-handedly created the "Tianjing Incident", causing tens of thousands of backbones of the Heavenly Kingdom to be brutally killed, leading the Heavenly Kingdom to flourish and decline.
It can be said that his ambition killed countless people, led to the defeat of the kingdom of heaven, and also ruined his reputation and lost his life.
I don't know if the second brother has changed his person, or if he has taken advantage of the situation and used his ambition to let him contribute to the kingdom of heaven. Mai Ke listened while thinking about it.
The second brother's next narrative shows that Yang Xiuqing is difficult to change.
In order to get close to him, the second brother pretended to be a down-and-out scholar, and used a four-spike rice plant as a reason to finally have a chance to talk to Yang Xiuqing face-to-face.
"Congratulations, Brother Yang! These four spikes of Jiahe are rare to see in a hundred years, and there will be good luck when they see it; auspicious signs are seen in Brother Yang's field, and they must be on Brother Yang! This scholar is here to congratulate and witness Brother Yang to a brilliant future from now on!" Yang Xiutian met him as a compliment, and the purpose was to test this person's heart.
If he is humble and simple, he will not think so, and if he is arrogant, he will climb up the pole.
I thought about it there, and I still underestimated him.
As soon as the words fell, the master, who was still sitting there just now, immediately jumped down and wanted to bow down to Hugh, but fortunately he was pulled by Hugh and did not kneel. But the tone of voice changed completely: "Sir taught me, how to achieve a splendid future? I will not hesitate to repay Mr. with all my wealth!"
As he spoke, he shouted: "Hurry up, move a chair for Mr. Hurry up, make tea, the kind that costs five taels of silver a pack!"
A family member came in small steps and said to the owner: "Master, you are reluctant to drink that bag, didn't you say that it was reserved for the county master?"
Yang Xiuqing was furious, "snap" was a slap in the face, and scolded: "Bastard thing! What is the county master? I must at least be a governor! This gentleman can make me soar, and he is much more valuable than the county lord! Less wordy, go quickly!"
The second brother watched this person's performance, and he couldn't help but feel sorry in his heart. It's really undisguised. This is frank and frank, and it is far from our expectations.
I can't help him change it, just wait for my little brother to do it. I'll just let him participate in the kingdom of heaven, no matter what the means.
