Chapter 992: Charcoal in the Snow

Dragon Weaving City. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The bloody slaughter had just ended, and the potters had issued an order to stop the killing, and began to work to pacify the people and rebuild the dragon weaving.

After all, Longbian City is the most important city in the entire Lingnan, whether it is the capital of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom or the state seat of Jiaozhou County of the Great Wei Empire.

On the day that the pottery merchant conquered Longbian, he issued an order to seal Zeng Guofan as the assassin of Jiaozhou, and transferred him to Longbian to preside over the political situation and strengthen the rule of the Great Wei Empire over Jiaozhou, so as to avoid such a large-scale rebellion as the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

As for the powerful people who were abandoned by Hong Xiuquan in Longbian, and even in Jiaozhou, the potters dealt with them with only one word:

Kill!

A bloody killing was set off, and those heroes who escaped from Jingzhou and helped Hong Xiuquan, what Pang family, Ma family, Feng family, but anyone who didn't have time to escape, the pottery merchants all made a holy decree to kill them cleanly.

Because the potters did not rule out the possibility of Hong Xiuquan escaping, so far, they don't know where Zhao Kuangyin's hidden danger is, and after the capture of Longbian, the potters can no longer stay in Jiaozhou no matter what, and must immediately set off north to return to Qingzhou.

Therefore, before leaving, the potters must use a bloody purge to uproot all the hidden dangers that may become Hong Xiuquan's recovery.

Three days after the dragon broke broke the city.

Golden Temple.

The hole in the center of the main hall has been blocked at this time, and the floor has been re-paved, and the palace of the Tianwang Mansion, which Hong Xiuquan has spent a lot of people and material resources, has painstakingly built the palace, which is equivalent to making a wedding dress for the potters at this moment, and has become his palace in Jiaozhou.

Inside and outside the Golden Palace, the soldiers had already begun to put up lights, and the festive atmosphere of the upcoming festival gradually dispelled the shadow of bloody battles and killings.

That's right, the potter is preparing to be the groom's official again.

He wants to officially marry Mu Guiying in this palace and then accept a new concubine.

After more than a year of good things, Mu Guiying's androphobia has been eradicated, and the two of them have pierced the window paper before, and Mu Guiying has also completely expressed his heart to the potter, if it weren't for the potter's own strong restraint, I am afraid that Mu Guiying has pushed back.

Mu Guiying was already willing, even to the point of "can't wait", of course, the potter had nothing to hesitate about, and before he arrived at Longbian, the potter made a promise to her, just waiting for the city of Longbian to be broken, that is, when he married her.

Today, he has trampled the dragon weaving city under his feet, and it is time to fulfill his promise and return with a beauty.

Of course, this is also for the sake of that 1 valuable added value.

The potter couldn't wait, wanting to feel what it was like to be a half-step martial saint without relying on critical attack talent, and a full hundred force values.

"The wine and meat have been almost shipped, and the decoration in the palace is almost complete, and His Majesty will be able to marry Mu Niangniang at the latest." Zhang Yi said with a smile.

The potter nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "This matter will be left to you to handle, after all, you Zhang Yi has also handled many marriages for me, and you are also familiar with the road." ”

"Hehe, Your Majesty is right, the minister is indeed familiar with the road, and His Majesty is also familiar with the road when he is the groom's official, hehe." Zhang Yi also saw that the potter was happy, so he had the audacity to make a joke.

The potter laughed and laughed at himself: "Yes, I don't know how many times I have been a groom official, but when a groom is such a thing, which man will be too much." ”

"Your Majesty is reasonable, Your Majesty is reasonable." Zhang Yi smiled and agreed.

After some laughter, the potter's mood calmed down again, but he sighed again: "It's a pity, Ma Meng has not had good news until this time, it seems that most of the Hong thieves slipped away from the sea, if she can capture the Hong thieves alive and give me a big gift for my wedding, then this groom official of mine will be perfect." ”

The words fell, and outside the main hall, hurried footsteps sounded.

"Your Majesty, good news, good news for coastal defense!"

The figure of the wind rushed into the hall excitedly, held up the silk book battle report in his hand, and shouted excitedly: "Haiphong good news, General Ma has captured the thief Hong Xiuquan alive, and the demon Dao Yu Ji is escorting the two thieves to return to Longbian." ”

And so it was!

The potter's spirits perked up, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

He also felt that Ma Chao might not have been able to catch up with Hong Xiuquan, so that the old god stick slipped away, and there was one less wedding gift.

In this way, although the main force of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is extinguished, it will no longer be able to set off any strong winds and waves, but Hong Xiuquan will most likely shrink in the jungle places of Rinan and Jiuzhen County, fight guerrillas, and come out to make a small fuss when there is nothing to do, disgusting him.

Unexpectedly, as soon as this idea came out, Shi Qian brought Ma Chao's good news, not only capturing Hong Xiuquan alive, but even Yu Ji, the master of the magic stick, was also captured alive.

The pottery merchant knew very well that although Hong Xiuquan was the king of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the foundation of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was in the Taiping Dao, and the Taiping Dao was developed in Jiaozhou by Yu Ji.

Now that Yu Ji is arrested, it means that the last leader-level figure of Taiping Dao has disappeared from the stage of history, and the last bloodline of the Yellow Turban Army will also be gone, and there will be no hidden dangers.

The potter couldn't be excited, so excited that he laughed.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, Hong Xiuquan has been arrested, this battle to counterbalance the rebellion can be regarded as a real success and a successful conclusion." Zhang Yi also congratulated with joy.

The potter nodded again and again, and said happily: "Ma Mengqi did a beautiful job, go, go out of the city with me to meet my heroes." ”

The interest was very good, and the potter was happy to get up, and took a group of civil servants and generals out of the south gate of the dragon weaving city to greet Ma Chao, a great hero.

At dusk, the horse-shaped general flag appeared at the end of the horizon, and then, five thousand high-spirited Great Wei Iron Cavalry soldiers rose from the other side of the horizon and rolled in.

Before long, the cavalry entered the south gate and set up their horses on the spot.

Ma Chao saw that the Son of Heaven came to greet him personally, and he was also flattered, so he hurriedly came to meet him with several cavalry horses.

"Meng Qi, you have made great contributions to Dawei, you have worked hard." The potter didn't wait for the horse to come closer, then he pulled the horse out and greeted him with a smile.

Ma Chao, who was galloping closer, hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and arched his hand: "The minister Ma Chao is fortunate not to be dishonored, and the pursuit of Hong Xiuquan is successful, and he has come to report his life to His Majesty." ”

"Okay, Meng Qi, please get up quickly." The potter also jumped off the horse, helped Ma Chao up with his own hands, and patted him on the shoulder with relief.

After being comforted by the potters for a while, Ma Chao did not take the credit alone, so he arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, when the minister chased to Haiphong Port that day, the Hong thief had actually boarded the ship first, if it weren't for a pirate who intended to defect to His Majesty, suddenly appeared and intercepted Hong Xiuquan, the minister was only afraid that the Hong thief had escaped, in the end, this is not all the credit of the minister." ”

Pirate?

The potter's eagle eyes swept a little strange, obviously he didn't expect that such a strange thing would happen in the process of Ma Chao chasing Hong Xiuquan.

There would be such a powerful pirate, who came out at a critical moment and intercepted Hong Xiuquan, then his luck was too good, and Hong Xiuquan's luck was too bad.

"Pirates, pirates, ......"

The potter's mind raced, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and a name that he almost forgot flashed through his mind.

Could it be him?

The potter's spirit suddenly lifted again, and he hurriedly asked, "Where is this pirate now, and what is his name?" ”

Ma Chao smiled but didn't answer, but turned his eyes to the few people who came with him, and glanced at one of the heroic young men.

The young man turned over and dismounted, walked calmly to the potter, bowed his hand, and said without humility or arrogance: "Minister Zheng Chenggong, please see Your Majesty." ”

Zheng Chenggong!

The young man in front of him was indeed Zheng Chenggong.

The potter was so pleasantly surprised, he couldn't suppress the pride in his heart, and couldn't help laughing.

Zheng Chenggong, the national hero who recovered Taiwan in history, and the naval general with the talent of "water god", finally appeared on the stage and came to join him.

In fact, Zheng Chenggong had been summoned a long time ago, long before the flow of time, but according to the broken rules of the system, the generals who were summoned were only in the order of the time of their incarnation, and the order of coming to defect was not distinguished.

So the potter waited for so long, but he never saw Zheng Chenggong come to defect, and he almost forgot about him.

Unexpectedly, Zheng Chenggong would come to defect at such a critical moment, and he also appeared at a critical moment, and made such a great contribution to capturing Hong Xiuquan and Yu Ji, the two big gods and small gods.

"It's worthy of being the god of water, either you don't come to defect for a long time, or you have made such miraculous achievements as soon as you come to defect, Zheng Chenggong, Zheng Chenggong, you really gave me a big surprise......"

The more the potter thought about it, the happier he became, and the more wanton the laughter became.

The young Zheng Chenggong was a little stunned, he didn't expect that as soon as he reported his name, he didn't say anything, and the Son of Heaven suddenly became like this.

Zheng Chenggong was quite calm, but when he gave the potter a burst of laughter, he was not calm, but he was a little overwhelmed.

He could only look at Ma Chao blankly to ask him for help.

"Your Majesty, this Zheng Chenggong is the person the minister said, he was originally a fisherman in the Haiphong area, and the Hong thief rebelled, ransacked the fishing village where he was, killed a lot of his neighbors, and forced him to flee to the sea with the rest of the villagers and became a pirate."

"That day, he was lurking near Haiphong Port, originally wanted to rob the Taiping thief cargo ship entering and leaving the port, but he didn't expect to run into Hong Xiuquan's escape, after he saw Hong Xiuquan's banner, he led the crowd to kill the past without saying a word, so that the Hong thief could be captured alive."

Ma Chao used some explanations to tell the life of Zheng Chenggong, and also pulled back the thoughts of the potter.

The potter's wild laughter only then subsided, listening to Ma Chao's explanation, he couldn't help but sigh at the precision of the system setting, Zheng Chenggong's identity was so realistic, just like Shi Qian, it was because he had a grudge against Hong Xiuquan, so he was forced to resist, and finally came to join him.

The potter looked at Zheng Chenggong who was on the ground, although he didn't even say a word of comfort, but the more he looked at him, the more excited he became, thinking that at present, on the coastal side of Qingxu, Sun Ce had the upper hand in naval battles because of Li Sunsin, a general with the talent of "Water God", and suppressed the Great Wei Qingxu Navy commanded by Wu Zixu.

Zheng Chenggong's timely defection is a relief in the snow for potters!

As soon as his thoughts turned, the pottery merchant almost did not hesitate, and said happily: "Zheng Chenggong, you have made such a miraculous achievement for me to capture Hong Xiuquan, the head of the thief, and I will reward you for your meritorious work, and now I will appoint you as the deputy governor of the Great Wei Navy, and immediately set off for Qingxu to listen to the tune!" ”
