Chapter 424: The Mandate of Heaven Belongs to King Ye
Guangzhou Mansion, Panyu County, Shahe Town, in a small courtyard of a single house, two men are glaring angrily.
The older ones wore long shirts and looked like scholars, while the younger ones, although they also wore long shirts, looked more like they were out there.
The older one blocked the door, holding a bamboo stick in his hand, and looked at the younger one with anger on his face.
"If you dare to go out of this door today, then it won't be my Chen Futong's son!"
The younger looked at his father with a look of grief and indignation in his eyes.
"Father, my son must go out today, His Royal Highness King Ming is about to enter Guangzhou, this is a great opportunity for our Chen family to take revenge, Yu Xiao is righteous, adults should not stop their son!"
Do you mean to say that the father is unfilial and unrighteous? I'll kill you disobedient unfilial son! ”
Chen Futong scolded angrily, and the bamboo stick in his hand slammed into his son's leg.
Although he was wearing a long robe, Chen Futong was sure that a red blood mark would immediately appear in the place where he was beaten.
Because of his son, who is good at martial arts and does not like literature, he doesn't know how many times he has been educated with such a stick, so much so that both of them are a little numb.
"You concealed it from your father and quietly sent your mother and sister away, do you think Lao Tzu doesn't know? Is that rebellion just a joke?
It has been 150 years since the Manchu Qing Dynasty set the world, and the people's hearts are attached, what do you know? Huangkou Xiaoer dared to mention the word rebellion, I think you want to kill my Chen family, I will kill you today, so as not to harm the whole clan! ”
Another bamboo stick was whipped into the young man's leg, but the young man did not flinch at all, and the resentment in his eyes became heavier.
"Adults say I'm a rebel, but I think adults are the real rebels! Alone and lonely, the water is deep and muddy. …… If the father does not repay the wrongs, what do you want to live!
Adults are unfilial descendants who have forgotten the great enmity of the Chen family, why did my great-grandfather change his name to Dumiao? That's because he always remembers that bitter hatred and remembers Chen Zhong's great hatred! ”
The young man roared loudly, it turned out that the person who lived here was the descendant of Chen Bangyan, the head of the Lingnan Three Loyalties, and Chen Bangyan was also the only one among the Lingnan Sanloyalties who left a little blood.
Dushui Dulu refers to Chen Bangyan's only surviving third son, the old man Dumi, Chen Gongyin, one of the three sons of the famous writer Lingnan.
He called himself Dushu, because he hated himself for not being able to avenge his father, and this gentleman lived until the thirty-ninth year of Kangxi (1700) before he died.
Now in this courtyard, the eldest father Chen Futong is Chen Gongyin's grandson, and the roaring son is Chen Gongyin's grandson Chen Zhicheng.
Chen Futong was yelled at by his son twice, and he was so sad that he threw away the bamboo stick in his hand with a snap.
"How have I ever forgotten the great enmity of my ancestors, my great-grandfather Zhongchou Gong was tortured to death by the Manchu Dynasty, and hundreds of people in the Chen family were killed, how dare I forget?
But now that the foundation of the Manchu Qing Dynasty has been stabilized, rebellion is no different from sending them to death, the dead are gone, and the lives of the living must continue. ”
"My lord's words are wrong, this whole Guangzhou, the whole Guangdong Province, how many people have a heart for the Manchu Qing Dynasty?
In the past, there were six people including Mr. Lu Xun who calmly took up justice and Fuzhou, and thousands of soldiers of the Manchu Qing Dynasty almost couldn't help the five of them.
Today, there are thirteen lines of Pan Xingshou and others who first raised the banner of righteousness, the army of the king of Ming is coming, and the descendants of our loyal ministers and righteous soldiers are just in the right place, reporting the blood feud of their fathers and ancestors, and showing the ambition of their lives! ”
Chen Futong is talking about the old words, or Dafa from the heart, but Chen Zhicheng is more enthusiastic.
"Kill the captives, protect the motherland, and return my old rivers and mountains. King Baoming, the blood of the army and the people, the glory of everyone! Ding Zhuang of Shahe, follow Lao Tzu to kill the dog and welcome the king of Ming!
As long as you go, one person will give three taels of silver for settling-in expenses, and ten taels for killing a clear dog, and if you are injured, you will also be given ten taels of silver, and if you accidentally braid, hey! Give forty taels of silver!
This money is all paid by the four families of the thirteen lines, and it will never be in arrears, and it is guaranteed to be delivered to you! ”
The father and son in the room were still arguing, and there was a commotion outside, shouting loudly It was a thug who was mixing in the entrance of the Hongmen Hall in Shahe, as if he was still a double saffron stick.
But it's not very authentic to do things, good guy, you directly ate more than half of the price that Pan Youdu offered.
But even so, for the poor people here in Shahe, this is still a lot of money!
The inhabitants of the Sand River are like sardines, emerging from their small, stunted houses.
"Brother Big Chicken, is it true that as long as you go, you will have a settlement fee of three taels of silver?"
"As long as Ding Zhuang? Big chicken, what do you think of Uncle Four? Although Lao Tzu is forty-five, it is still no problem to carry two knives to cut from Shahe to Guide Gate! ”
"Big chicken, who pays for this? Is it really the people of the Thirteen Lines? We have thousands of strong people here, and this is a few thousand taels of silver? ”
Because of the Year of the Rooster, people grow thin and tall, like a big rooster, so Zhang Jizai, nicknamed Big Chicken, took the gong and looked around proudly, he enjoyed the feeling of the stars holding the moon.
"Of course there are three taels, this is the words handed down by Uncle Song of Beijiang Hall, his old man has issued a Jianghu order, and all the Jianghu high-rollers in Guangzhou are going to kill the Qinggou and welcome the king of Ming!"
"Fourth uncle, I'm afraid you're not bragging, can you still hold a knife?"
"Boss Li, what is a few thousand taels of silver, there are hundreds of big ships that go to sea every year in the Thirteen Lines, that is the big guy of Jinshan and Yinhai, what is a few thousand taels of silver?"
The big chicken solved the doubts of the villagers in Shahe one by one, and while beating the gong, the crowd formed two long lines behind him after a while.
Everyone had spears and sticks in their hands, and even some of them were holding kitchen knives at home, but suddenly, the face of the big chicken became gloomy.
"Zhou Shrimp, what do you mean? said that only let Ding Zhuang of each family go, what are you doing stuffing your sister in? Could it be that she is also a gentleman? ”
The crowd burst into laughter, and Zhou Xiazai blushed, carrying two eight chopping knives, and stretched his neck unconvinced.
"Why not? My third sister has more strength than a man, and her arms are thicker than your legs, why can't she be considered a Ding Zhuang? ”
Everyone laughed again, this time it was the turn of the big chicken to be embarrassed, he looked at his slender and slender arms, and then looked a little embarrassed, but he was a tiger's back, and his two arms were like two big iron pillars.
"Okay, okay! Then count your sister as one! The big chicken nodded impatiently, and then muttered something in a low voice.
"Your mother, a woman and woman, grew stronger than Lao Tzu, how did she grow? Is there still a royal law? ”
In the hut, Chen Zhicheng's face became even more excited, "Father, have you heard everything?" Even the folks of Shahe are going!
Father, although you didn't go to the exam to gain fame, everyone knows that you have real skills, and we also know that our family is the descendant of Chen Zhong's father, now as long as you go out and raise your arms, you will inevitably be prosperous!
When King Ming enters the city of Guangzhou, who do you rely on, don't you want to show your ambitions? ”
Chen Futong sighed, his son's words were impartial, and they just hit the softest place in his heart.
Although he has never seen his grandfather Chen Gongyin, he has seen the sad eyes of his father when he died, and his great-grandfather Chen Zhongchugong has also quietly gone to worship at the Sanzhong Temple in Yashan.
Therefore, Chen Fu has been reading books for half his life, but he has never participated in the scientific expedition of the Manchu Dynasty, and only taught a few Mengtong children in Shahe to make a living.
But all this is by no means what he wants! If he didn't have an idea in his heart, how could he watch his son send his wife and daughter away without interference.
"Are your mother and sister settled?" Chen Futong looked at his son quietly.
His son has not been like him since he was a child, although he is very talented in reading, he is unwilling to read, and he likes guns and sticks all day long.
When he grew up, he liked to mix with the synagogue of Hongmen, he thought that this son was hopelessly degenerate, but now it seems that he has the demeanor of Chen Zhonggong more than him.
Chen Zhicheng's face was happy, he had already hooked up with the people from Jiaozhi, and he knew that with his family background and his father Chen Futong's popularity, Shahe alone could pull out a team of thousands of people.
"Father, rest assured, my mother and sister have now boarded the boat to Jiaozhi, and I have entrusted the second uncle's family to take care of it!"
"Alright! It seems that you are so prepared, it is time for your father to know the destiny of heaven, and it is time to give yourself an explanation! ”
"Squeak!" There was a noisy queue on the street, and the sound was quite loud, but somehow, the sound of the door opening was particularly obvious, and everyone was quietly looking at the small courtyard of the Chen family.
After a while, in the expectant eyes of everyone, Chen Zhicheng took a spontaneous fire gun and protected his father Chen Futong appeared, Chen Futong didn't take anything, but just stood like that, and he had his own momentum.
"Master Chen! You're here too! ”
"Master Chen!"
"Mr. Futong!"
The neighbors all greeted softly, and Chen Fu arched his hand.
"Fellow neighbors, the Manchus occupy my land and enslave us, not to mention my ancestor Chen Zhong, your neighbors also have ancestors who were wantonly killed by the Manchus, today the Ming King Xinghan's family entered Guangzhou, and I, Chen Futong, am also willing to work with you to welcome the Ming King!"
"Good! It seems that it is really time for King Ming to sit in the world, and even Master Chen is willing to go out of the mountain! ”
The people of Shahe, who originally regarded King Yingming as going to receive three taels of settling-in allowances, became excited.
"Even Master Chen is willing to go out of the mountain, King Ming is really destiny, then I am also Lei Ahu!"
A majestic man walked out of a slightly gloomy alley.
The people of Shahe who were lining up looked at Lei Ahu and the dozens of big men behind him, and they couldn't help but shrink, even the big chicken holding the gong.
This Lei Ahu is terrible, everyone said that he was a big pirate across the sea before he came to Shahe, and he killed not a hundred but eighty.
Although Lei Ahu is notoriously low-key, the people of Shahe are still very afraid of him on weekdays, and they don't even dare to speak loudly when they pass in front of the courtyard of Lei Ahu's house.
"Great!" In the solemn atmosphere, the big chicken coughed dryly, pretending to be arrogant.
"Then Chen... Belch..! ”
He originally wanted to say that he was headed by Master Chen, but when he turned his head and looked at Lei Ahu, who was like a bear, and dozens of men with fire hammers behind him, he immediately swallowed back the words in his mouth, what if this Lei Ahu disagreed?
"Master Chen is the descendant of Duke Chen Zhong, of course we are headed by Master Chen, and I, Lei Ahu, am a rough person, let Master Chen dispatch it!"
But fortunately, Lei Ahu said very low-key, and arched his hand at Master Chen, looking very respectful.
"But! Big chicken, what did you just say about the settling-in fee and other expenses issued by the Thirteen Lines? ”
But Lei Ahu's next sentence immediately turned the big chicken into a plague chicken.
Dozens of seconds later...
The fourth uncle held a short knife, Zhou Xiaomei held the iron rod at the top door, and the other neighbors each held a variety of weapons, chasing the big chicken and beating it!
"Nilou's, chicken, the dog thing is black-hearted, you dare to be black-hearted with this money!"
The fourth uncle, who boasted that he could cut from Shahe to Guidemen, couldn't run after a few laps, he threw the short knife in his hand to the ground, crossed his waist and scolded out of breath.
