Chapter 181: The Past of the Early Qing Dynasty
It also shows that at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the world was in turmoil, and the beacons were everywhere in the year, and the people's grievances were boiling and it was not easy to make a living.
Because the people's livelihood is withering, there are naturally many bandits, and there are countless thieves who occupy the mountains and fall into the grass.
On that day, on the edge of Chenzhou Mansion, a convoy passed by, there were a large number of people, about forty or fifty people, among which the sedan chair was there, the person at the head straddled a green horse, with a Longquan sword hanging from his waist, dressed in brocade robes, and then looked at the face, two thick eyebrows slanted into the sideburns, a white face was handsome and unparalleled, and the whole body was heroic.
This person rode a horse, guarding the front of the car, there were three carriages in the procession, and in the first car, there was a tall old man with a face like a silver basin.
This old man is at this time, occupy the father of the female ghost of Yuanling Water Mansion, this person was originally an official of the Ming Dynasty, after the collapse of the Ming Dynasty, because he could not bear the suffering of the people in the world, he was an official in the Qing court for several years, and after the world was a little peaceful, he returned to his hometown on the grounds of old age and decay.
The emperor of the Qing court remembered that this person had made meritorious contributions to pacify his rule, so he allowed this person to return to his hometown and rewarded him very richly.
On the way back to his hometown, when he passed through Chenzhou (Yuanling), he was suddenly attacked by bandits.
At that time, the righteous descendants of the anti-king Zhang Xianzhong were expected to be ministers in the Southern Ming Dynasty and insisted on resisting the Qing Dynasty, but this person, first for the anti-thieves and troubled the Ming Dynasty, and later under the account of the Southern Ming Dynasty as a minister, and the Qing court was at war.
Back then, this person was a Ming army that opposed the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty on the surface, but in fact it was a banditry.
His subordinate general Lu Mingchen commanded the Guizhou army to capture Chenzhou, and Sun Kewang established himself as the king, as his own, and was defeated by the Qing army.
In the final analysis, the official who returned to his hometown was a Qing Dynasty official for a period of time, so it was difficult to say that he would not be attacked when passing by here, so this person sent his family servants in advance and sent silver money and jewelry to ensure that the passage was unimpeded.
The general in charge of the city was none other than this Lu Mingchen, who saw that the money was expensive, and that he was greedy, so he pretended to agree to let this official return to his hometown go.
However, he actually just planned to paralyze this person, wait for him to relax his vigilance, and then arrest him together, and when the time comes, all the wealth in the team will belong to him, and he can still take this Qing Dynasty official to Sun Kewang to please him.
Although it was late at night, the officials and heroic young men who had returned to their hometowns still had no intention of going into the city to rest, and they just set up camp far outside the city, preparing to leave early tomorrow.
However, in the middle of the night, the city gate opened, and Lu Mingchen led his light cavalry to cover the kill, taking advantage of the dark night and high wind, ready to plunder the team of returning officials.
At that time, the big families were protected by servants such as family generals, and this returning official was not excluded, and there were many generals under him, as well as a future son-in-law, that is, the heroic young man.
They were heavily guarded, so Lu Mingchen's men and horses were discovered at the first time, and a scuffle began.
Although the officials who returned to their hometowns had a lot of servants and some combat effectiveness, it was not a problem to exterminate ordinary bandits and robbers, but they could not take advantage of the army under Lu Mingchen, who had a regular army configuration.
It didn't take long for the generals and others in the ranks of returning officials to be slaughtered, and even he himself could not escape from the clutches and was captured alive by Lu Mingchen's army.
However, the heroic young man led by him had a strong kung fu in his hands, and he actually led a few remaining generals to escort a chariot and horse all the way away.
It's a pity that they are not familiar with the location of this place, and they are in a panic, so they ran to the riverside of the Yuan River.
The water of the Yuan River is surging, the waves are like thunder, and the young man led by him saw that the road ahead was cut off, and there were no boats and bridges on the river, so he planned to fight another bloody road along the riverside.
But at this time, Lu Mingchen had already led his troops to attack and surrounded them.
Lu Mingchen checked the previous carriage and luggage, and although there were a lot of jewels and gold and jade in it, it failed to meet his expectations, so he suspected that the last car was the main event.
He was afraid that these people would be forced to sink the carriage into the river, so he ordered someone to bring the officials who had returned to their hometown, and took him as a hostage, demanding that the heroic young man and others surrender.
Unexpectedly, this returning official was still a little arrogant, and he would rather die standing than surrender, so he broke free from the grasp of the sergeant next to him, ran over and hit Lu Mingchen's mount, trying to knock it down desperately.
Lu Mingchen has been fighting for a long time, so he is naturally not afraid of an old man's provocation, but he didn't expect his horse to be offended, and he raised his hooves to kick the old man's chest, and immediately kicked the old man to death.
At this moment, the officials who returned to their hometowns were mistakenly killed, and it was even more impossible for the heroic young men and others to surrender, so under a fierce battle, the remaining families under his command were all loyal.
The heroic young man's face was stained with blood, and the Qingfeng long sword in his hand was broken, but he still fought to the death and did not retreat, and was finally killed by Lu Mingchen with an arrow through his chest.
After killing the heroic young man and others again, Lu Mingchen thought that there was no one in the car, so he sent his subordinates to check, but he didn't expect that there were two girls in the car.
The two girls knew that they would never escape the benefits of falling into the hands of these people, so for the sake of their own honor, the daughter of the returning official sat in the car with her eyes closed, and the little maid she picked up on the road drove into the surging Yuan River, and since then she has sunk into the river and died.
Later, Lu Mingchen led the army to fight, and when he invaded Hecheng, he was defeated, and Sun Kewang surrendered, and this past was completely lost in history.
With the plain woman's narration, the three of us seemed to have returned to the Jin Ge Iron Horse of the year, after listening, we were very sorry and speechless for a long time.
However, I thought about it carefully, something was wrong, I knew the story of the two girls, but we still didn't know what the 'Flying Saint Ghost King' was.
"That, girl, what about the story of the two of you, Poor Dao is very sorry to hear it, if you two want to be reincarnated, Poor Dao will definitely try his best to help eliminate karma, but what is this Flying Holy Ghost King, you haven't told us yet, girl. ”
I'm telling the truth, but I think these two female ghosts occupy the Yuanjiang Water Mansion, and I'm afraid they may not be willing to be reincarnated again.
Sure enough, after I finished speaking, the plain-clothed woman shook her head, "Thank you for your kindness, but the little woman stayed here for another reason, she didn't wait for her late husband to return, and the little woman will never leave this place." ”
I sighed, this is a martyr woman, but the matter of reincarnation is ethereal, and if you want to meet again in the vast sea of people, it is not easy to say, everyone has their own ambitions, and I am not good at persuasion.
