In the twenty-second year of Qianlong, in early February.

The snow has melted, but the cold is still there.

At this time, the bandit army and the Qing army were still in a stalemate in Jiangsu, although there were occasional battles on both sides, but they were only small fights.

Now, both the Manchus and the bandit army are gathering forces that can overwhelm each other, waiting to break the enemy in one fell swoop.

At this time, the chaos in the world has become more and more obvious.

Yunnan, Qujing

Malone Mountain

The mountain is full of shrubs, weeds, and a barren land.

At the foot of the mountain, there is a pile of rocks, and suddenly there is a narrow mountain road that winds and turns and leads up the mountain. There is a flat area on the mountainside, and a few simple thatched huts are faintly visible, and it seems that people live there.

The sun is setting, and the night is coming.

The moon hangs high in the night sky, and the stars are everywhere. Under the bright moonlight, this Malone Mountain looks particularly desolate.

A fierce cold wind blew, causing the bushes to rustle.

The cold always makes people feel like they just want to huddle in a warm house and don't want to come out.

The thatched hut on the mountainside was shining with firewood at the moment, but a group of young people were roasting around the fire.

"Yuan Laosan, have you confirmed this? Is it true? Once we act, it can affect the lives of hundreds of our brothers, and we can't be careless. A middle-aged man next to the fire said as he turned over the wood in the fire that was not burning very well with a stick in his hand.

"Big brother, I've confirmed this time and again. There are indeed people in Liangguang who have rebelled. Yuan San, another man beside the fire, replied with a serious face.

"Some time ago, Tu Siliu went to Guangdong to buy goods, and it happened to happen that he didn't come back for a long time. Judging from the news he received, the rebels in Liangguang claimed to be a bandit army, and their leader was a young man named Zhang Liuge. When Tu Siliu left Guangdong, he heard that the bandit army had occupied nearly the whole of Guangdong. ”

"Already occupied the whole of Guangdong? Is that group of brothers called the Bandit Army so powerful? We were surrounded and suppressed by the Qing army several times before because we accidentally leaked the news, but many brothers were killed and wounded, and the strength of the Qing army was not vegetarian. Someone near the fire was suspicious.

"Brother Shizhu, what Third Brother Yuan said should be true. I also heard about this from the rich man of Fang Tuyuan. There was a great uproar in Guangdong, and I heard that the governor of Liangguang and the Tartar general stationed in Guangdong were defeated one after another. The man next to Yuan San answered him.

"That guy Fang Tuyuan has business in Guangdong, his news should be correct." Another person chimed in.

"Big brother, you also heard the words of Brother Niu Li. It is true that some people in Guangdong have rebelled, and the momentum is not small. Yuan San said excitedly.

"There are people from Guangdong, and Mangou must be thinking about how to deal with them first. If we are now in rebellion, we will have time to quickly build up our strength. ”

"Big brother, how's it going? Anti-or not? Yuan San asked anxiously.

At this time, not only Yuan San, but also several other people next to the fire echoed and asked.

A cold current suddenly rushed in through the cracks in the thatched rudimentary wall, bringing a cool chill to the stuffy room.

The light of the fire flickered incessantly, and bursts of white 7 smoke were rising in bursts of bad white.

At this moment, Wu Sixi, who is the eldest brother of this group, is looking at the fire in a daze, thinking about something, and the kung fu in his hand has stopped.

After a bag of cigarettes, he saw that Wu Sixi seemed to have figured out something, threw the stick in his hand to the ground, and shouted: "Since this is the case, then we will do it, against the damn Mangou court." ”

"Well... I've wanted to his dog tartar for a long time..."

"Yes..."

……

Wu Sixi's words were immediately echoed by most of the brothers, and many people were already tired of the current life of "eating and sleeping in the open", so they thought that they could rebel as soon as possible and be "majestic" after they conquered the county seat.

"Although the dog Qingting is hateful, its strength is still there, we still have to sum it up, and we can't send the lives of our brothers to death in vain." Wu Sixi said.

"Big brother is right..."

"Hmm..."

"Yes..."

There was another chorus of echo and approval.

"I don't know what big brother has to plan?" A voice asked.

"I've thought about it, it's going to be a bit difficult to fight the county with our current strength. So be it, Brother Morumi. You go to the surrounding hills first, and when we get into trouble, let the big bosses also come down to 'do the activities'. Tell them that once we conquer the county, we will definitely not treat them badly. Wu Sixi looked at Wang Shengjian next to the fire and said.

"Yes, big brother. I won't let my big brother down. Wang Shengjian immediately got up and replied with a salute to Wu Sixi, quite a minister.

"Okay, I'm relieved to see my brother's words." Wu Sixi said in a good mood.

"Big brother, this... Isn't it great that those bandits and bandits come down and loot? Li Yu, who knew Wu Sixi's "major masters" in his mouth, had to stand up and remind.

As soon as Li Yu's words fell, he felt that someone was looking at him with ill intentions, but his sense of righteous mission made him stand up fearlessly.

"I understand Brother Li's concerns, these are just expedient measures. We are the 'righteous army' who oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, how can we be in the same league as those bandits and bandits? Wu Sixi stepped in to stop those who wanted to refute Li Yu, and replied with a righteous face.

Although Wu Sixi was also quite unhappy with what Li Yu said, thinking that Li Shimin, the Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, could still endure Wei Zheng, how many people could he endure without a stomach?

"It's just that our strength is too weak now, and after we build the county and strengthen our strength, we will naturally draw a line with them." Wu Sixi continued:

"It is a great cause to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, and we should not be informal. As long as you can overthrow the Tartars and stop bullying the Han people, it is acceptable to use some means. ”

"Yes, Big Brother is right. Since the eldest brother has a plan, that's good. Hearing Wu Sixi's words, Li Yu originally wanted to say something, but seeing that the atmosphere around him was not right, he had to give up.

Although Li Yu is upright, he is not a fool. As a member of the scholars, he shouldn't have been mixed up here. It was only because he was really angry with what the Manchu court had done that Li Yu thought about making some efforts to overthrow the Manchu Dynasty.

"Xing, the people are bitter. Death, the people suffer. Wu Sixi's gang doesn't seem to be suitable for me to stay, so I'll leave after they get up! Maybe I should go to Guangdong. Li Yu said silently in his heart.
