Chapter 632: The Demons Dance
"Li Thief is a barbarian barbarian, although he said that his ancestors were the border generals of the Ming Dynasty, but there is no basis for empty words, and there is no shame in the wilderness, and he is a slave and a master's mother and descendants. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Later, the young man was ambitious, plotted against his colleagues with tricks, divided the countries with Zhang Yi's strategy, seized the land of the native people, collected the bandits and degenerate people, and used the tools of Hongyi to conquer, so he unified Nanzhong. Nanzhong was determined, and he was not satisfied with the body of the small officials in the border wilderness, but in the name of the king of Qin, he bribed the powerful people in the court with thick coins, and was stingy with clever words to cover the holy ears. The people in the court are angrily denouncing his hypocrisy, and Li Thief is sending his daughter to the north to King Qin, and his daughter is fierce and domineering, and kills people at every turn. Officers and soldiers in the army dare to be angry but dare not speak. His daughter pretended to recruit and accepted the general as her adopted son, and there were seventy veteran generals who knelt down and begged for their grandson. On his daughter's trip, the sky was angry and resentful, and finally the sky opened his eyes, and the Qing Dynasty cannon injured her. When Li Thief heard the news, he didn't think about it, but intensified it. The feather is galloping, the soldiers are coming, the millions of thieves are intending to go north, and the Li thief is going to the palace with his sword, roaring at the court, saying that he must levy value-added tax and commercial tax. The first imperial treasury was empty, and the new defeat was in the Qing Dynasty, and he did not dare to go against his will. Fortunately, the Li thief lost his way and was helpless, and his land rose together, and Yizhou and Java were in chaos. β
Jinan.
After reading an impassioned essay, although some of the words and phrases sounded familiar, and some places belonged to vicious personal attacks, it could not hide the feeling of a bad breath in people's hearts, and the audience was full of applause for a while. The article brother even clapped his hands and praised: "Brigade Commander Zhang, good article, but I don't know who has such a big pen like a rafter and spits out the blocks in my breasts?" Zhang Linghu smiled and said, "Brother Article, don't forget why my military horse is so strong. All because the people in our army are all the children of the gentry who were victims of the New Deal, some of them were falsely accused of confiscating their family property by thieves in Tongliao, and some were accused of violating the law by slaves and tenants, and both their parents died. Most of them are scholars, and they have a grudge against Li Thief. These words are the words of their hearts, so why is it difficult to write them? β
Everyone laughed when they heard it, and after laughing at the article, they said: "General Zhang, you and I made a little mistake just now, you are now a general who is fighting on behalf of the heavens, and the Qing Dynasty is not a thief, but the current holy master." Pay attention to what you say in the future! Zhang Linghu nodded and said, "Brother Xie Wenwen reminded me that I was used to it just now, and I didn't change it for a while." In addition, I also want everyone to do a favor and strive for another meritorious contribution to the Great Qing Holy Lord. β
Everyone hurriedly asked what was the matter, and Zhang Linghu said: "You all know that I have a very good personal relationship with Brigade Commander Gao Tianbao of the Weixian Garrison Brigade, but Brigade Commander Gao is more stubborn and loyal to Li Thief. Now he is being taken captive by me and locked up in my private house. Gao Tianbao is brave and fearless, and his subordinates are elite and strong, if he can be accepted as the arm of the Qing Dynasty, it will be very helpful to conquer Li Thief. β
Zhang Linghu said that Gao Tianbao was the commander of the garrison brigade stationed in Weixian. Because it guards the Weixian area, the gateway of Shandong to the Denglai area, its status is higher than that of other garrison brigades with place names. This meeting coincided with the meeting, and he was ordered to Jinan to strengthen Jinan's defense. Therefore, he led the attachΓ© to come, but he didn't want to turn into elbows and armpits and cause trouble to Xiao Wall. The original comrade-in-arms tore off his mask and waved a butcher's knife at his brother.
"The Weixian Garrison Brigade is still stationed in Weixian, Fangzi and other places, with strong soldiers and horses and sharp weapons. If it can be used by me, then Denglai can enter the house. The richness of the three prefectures of Denglai Qing is very clear, and it is enough to provide sufficient food and soldiers for our army. Therefore, Gao Tianbao must persuade him to submit and join us in crusading against the Li thief! β
After Zhang Linghu finished speaking, everyone frowned, because they all knew that this thing was very good in theory, but it was too difficult to complete. Zhang Linghu saw that everyone was embarrassed, so he enlightened: "Everyone, I didn't expect this to happen, but it's man-made, how can I know if I don't try it?" Besides, now that the situation has changed, Lu Mahong, the mother-in-law, is suffering from the enemy on her back and will die soon, and the army of Li Thief is far away in Jiangnan, Fujian, Guangdong, and Nanzhong, so she can't help it. When the Central Plains is lost, even if his million-strong army goes north, it will be useless. The general trend is already in me, and the so-called person who knows the times is Junjie. I believe that Gao Tianbao is also a person who understands current affairs, and coupled with my personal relationship with him, you can give Brigade Commander Gao another step, Corporal Lixian, I don't think it is completely hopeless. β
Everyone felt that it made sense when they heard it, so under the leadership of Zhang Linghu, they came to Zhang Linghu's private house, that is, the place where Gao Tianbao was imprisoned. It should be said that Zhang Linghu did not treat Gao Tianbao badly, and chose a separate courtyard for him, with bright windows and a bonsai rockery, if it is here to recuperate, it is also a good place. Unfortunately, some distance from the yard, I heard a scolding voice.
Everyone walked into the courtyard, but saw a man in military uniform sitting on the Taishi's chair in the courtyard holding a tea bowl in one hand and scolding. It can be seen that this person is not here for self-cultivation. He watched coldly as Zhang Linghu and the others came to the courtyard, and then said to Zhang Linghu in a mocking tone: "Brigade Commander Zhang, you came so late." When the Jinan rebellion was in rebellion, the first thing I thought of was to ask you for help, but you only came now, and you still came with the traitors. But I don't know if you are going to eat Gao's meat or drink Gao's blood? β
Zhang Linghu was very angry when he heard these words, but he still squeezed out a smile and said: "How can I be unfavorable to my brother, you and my brother, I just came to persuade my brother to know the current affairs, and we will help the Holy Lord of the Qing Dynasty together." β
"Holy Lord?" Gao Tianbao sneered and said, "I want to know, what is the sanctity of this Tartar head?" Zhang Linghu's face changed slightly, but he still pretended to be indifferent and said: "Senior brother, the Holy Lord of the Great Qing Dynasty is not a Tartar head, and he is indeed wiser than Li Shouhan." Otherwise, how could he have entered Beijing all the way from Liaodong? Isn't that providential? Moreover, since the Qing Emperor ascended the throne, he has lightly punished the people, valued the people and relatives, and abolished the evil laws such as the official gentry paying grain and fire consumption to the public value-added tax tariffs, and the officials and the people all applauded, isn't this a manifestation of Shengming? β
Gao Tianbao was not angry after hearing this, he just nodded slightly, Zhang Linghu saw that there was a door, and hurriedly continued: "As far as I know, Brother Gao is also a big family, and your family was also rich and noble at the beginning, so you sent Brother Gao to study in Nanzhong, but presumably Brother Gao didn't expect Li Shouhan to abuse the people so much." Now that Li Shouhan is full of evil, and there is retribution again and again, the senior brother should respond to the people in accordance with the heavens and the people, and work with us to support the Holy Lord. β
Gao Tianbao nodded again, and then said: "What Brigade Commander Zhang said makes sense, I believe it now, Tartar Head Shunzhi is indeed the lord of love for the 'people'!" β
Everyone was very surprised when they saw Gao Tianbao so cooperative, they originally thought it was a hard bone, but they didn't expect it to be done in three or two clicks. When everyone was about to tout Gao Tianbao's knowledge of current affairs, Gao Tianbao suddenly said sharply: "This Tartar is really the same party of you bastards!" β
This surprised everyone, they didn't understand, it was so good just now, why did the style of painting suddenly change. However, Gao Tianbao didn't care about this, he then said sharply: "My Gao Tianbao went to Nanzhong, the original purpose was indeed to seek wealth and prosperity for the family, but later I understood a truth, the way of the world has changed. In the past, you could govern the people by relying on the so-called Confucian and Mencian holy paths, but now it is not possible because there is a new holy way in Nanzhong. This holy way is that the small people should have the right to eat and dress freely, and you, who do it all the time, are to take the rice of the small people, rob the clothes of the small people, and trample them on as dirt! But have you ever thought about it, who do you think you are kings, but how are the small people not the water of you gentry? They can carry you, and they can sink you to the bottom! If you don't believe it, open your eyes and see, Li Zicheng, Luo Rucai, Zhang Xianzhong is such water, if you think they are too far away, then take a good look at the mass graves outside Linyi City! If you don't repent, it won't be long before Madame will cut you in two with a guillotine and throw them all into the mass grave in Jinan. And I, Gao, will leave two days earlier than you at most, maybe, I'll wait a little longer, and you will accompany me on the road together. "Fart, hubris!" Zhang Linghu couldn't pretend anymore, he interrupted Gao Tianbao sharply: "The surname is Gao, don't give face, now Jinan is our world, and in the future, Shandong and even the whole world will also be our world, no matter how powerful he Li Shouhan is, he can't fight against our millions of officials and people." β
Gao Tianbao sneered and returned: "You still claim to read the book of Confucius and Mencius, but you have read it all in the dog's stomach?" I still remember what the book says, let me borrow it, you have millions of chaotic people, and we have hundreds of millions of Li people, with one heart and one mind. What if you occupy it? Less than five miles outside the city of Jinan, there is our watch team, and the whole of Ludong also has our watch team everywhere. Dengzhou Mansion, as well as Brigade Commander Xu Yuansong, and the Yimeng Mountain area, there are Wuxing Town Fu Envoys, and they will soon surround Jinan. And Madame, you will also return to Jinan soon, and when the time comes, you will wash your necks and wait for the mass grave. β
Zhang Linghu trembled angrily, and at this moment, Brother Wen spoke in a slender voice: "General Gao Tianbao Gao, the contemptible person is a descendant of the Qufu sage Miao, our Confucian family has already declared itself a minister to the Holy Lord, and the Meng family is also named. Do you know what that means? With the prestige of our two families, raise your arms and shout, your so-called Shuli people will fall to us together and drive the Li thief out of Shandong. β
Gao Tianbao laughed when he heard this, and the tears of laughter flowed out, and he said while laughing: "The Confucius and Mencius families seized the land and occupied the land, ruined the innocence of their wives and daughters, and not long ago they engaged in a fund where everyone donated one yuan. Do you really believe what you said just now, why didn't the eldest prince raise his arms when he was there, and he didn't raise his arms when his wife was there, even if it was when Wu Xing was calming and killing people, you could raise your arms and shout. You don't dare, because you know how many people hate you to the bone! β
"Since you say that you are a saint seed, you are naturally familiar with the teachings of the saints. Let me ask you, the so-called benevolent love for others, but what your saint ancestors said? However, I know that in Qufu City, among your Kong clan, there are people who can't live that day, and they don't see the clansmen coming to help Zhou Ji on weekdays, and when they are forced to go out to work to make a living, your Kong family comes out and says, 'The saint and Miao are not allowed to be slaves and servants with others, if you want to go out to work, you must change your surname.' 'Is there anyone in the world more shameless than you?!' Also, The Analects? In the fourteenth chapter of the Constitution, it is said: 'Guan Zhong Xiang Huan Gong, tyranny the princes, one Kuang the world, and the people will receive it now. Microtubule Zhong, I was sent to the left!' That's what your ancestors said. Now, Jingshi has fallen into the hands of Liao thieves, and the land of Yanyun in Gyeonggi is fishy, and you don't want to work with the court to drive out Hulu, but instead face the enemy in the north, if I am your ancestor, Lao Tzu will jump out of Kong Lin and bite you all to death! β
This is tantamount to scolding the representative of the Kong family in the words of your ancestors, and Brother Wen is a bloody dog. Rao is full of anger, and he is full of conceited poetry and books on weekdays, but he is speechless for a while, and he can't find the words to refute.
"The surname Zhang, you and I can be regarded as a fellowship, if you still have a little bit of old feelings, send Lao Tzu on the road quickly. Lest Lao Tzu look at this group of pickled goods, his eyes are on fire, and his heart is angry! β
At noon, the sun is dazzling. Zhang Linghu's personal soldiers assassinated Gao Tianbao in the garden of the mansion.
Nanking.
Li Thief was frightened and returned to Nanzhong, but his actions were violent. He has a son-in-law's name Zheng Sen, the sixth day demon king. When he first arrived in Yizhou, he came up with a poison plan, using the port as the lock, the highway as the pillar, and the fortress as the chain, and building a prison cage to trap the east. Later, he begged Java and borrowed the soldiers of Dongying to use it, and each battle must be divided into dozens of roads, called for sweeping. Poor Nanzhong natives have no sharp weapons and armor, and it is difficult to resist the Li thief's violent soldiers. Li thieves slaughtered wantonly, and Java almost became a ghost domain. β
"Mencius, those who have attained the Tao have much help, and those who have lost the Tao have little help. Li thief atrocity, anger and resentment, heroes from all directions, suffering for a long time. Today's Suiyang Plain, all over Qilu, bonfires and foxes roar, resounding throughout Shandong. The way of heaven is good, the holy way has a reason to be extended, people's hearts are filial, and all husbands will take revenge. Quancheng has fallen overnight, Li Thief rebel son violently killed the former enemy, the sky has shown his heart, how dare the people's hearts go against the will? At this time, the hero should start from the field, and the hero should be the flag. The achievements of Guo Fenyang and Li Linhuai. For the holy way of the world, Li thief must be begged, and the right way must be followed. β
"Today, I would like to advise Li: As long as the month of March, he will lead the ugly species to migrate to the old nest in the South China Sea to avoid the male division of the Dao. March cannot go to May, and May cannot go to July. July can't, it's the end of the refusal. Those who are stubborn and harmful to the people can be killed. Whoever is loyal to the righteous and the people, and the defender of the way will hold a strong bow and send poisonous arrows, so as to engage with the Li thief, and he will kill them all. He has no regrets. Like a law! β
The news of Li Huayu's death also reached here early. Although the Hongguang Emperor Zhu Yousong specially issued a decree for this, he dropped out of the dynasty for three days to mourn, and the emperor, who was famous for his absurdity and good wine in Donglin's pen, ate in the palace for a few days to express his inner sorrow. At the same time, it was decreed that officials above the seventh rank in Nanjing, and officials above the fifth rank in the surrounding prefectures and counties, on the day of the arrival of Li Huayu's coffin, should go to the wharf to welcome the spirit and make sacrifices, and all yamen must build mourning sheds and set up mourning halls.
In various temples and Taoist temples inside and outside Nanjing, monks and nuns also received orders from the official family and began to build tents to chant scriptures and make water and land dojos. Although the emperor made such a statement, Ma Shiying, the head of the court, adhered to the emperor's will and made the scene of sacrifice extremely beautiful. However, for the entire Nanyue Army, for the Li family, and for Li Shouhan himself, Li Huayu's death was an extremely tragic thing.
The three major misfortunes in life, the loss of his father at an early age, the loss of his wife in middle age, and the loss of his son in old age, made Li Shouhan catch up with two.
When he received an urgent military report from Shandong, he couldn't help but have dark eyes, a stuffy chest, a burst of fishy sweetness in his mouth, and a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth.
By the time Li Shouhan woke up in the anxious mood of everyone's expectation, it was already the time to hold the lamp. In front of the bed, Li Huamei, Li Huabao, Ao Lei Yilan, Shi Lang, Li Peiting and other wives, children, sons-in-law, generals and officials were all in front of them.
"Father!"
"Erya, what's the situation?" Li Shouhan asked Li Huamei in a hoarse voice.
"Father, don't worry, let's be loose on the outside and tight on the inside. The sailors strengthened their patrols on the river. The second brother also sent twice as many soldiers and horses to the garrison yamen. Nowadays, although there is no curfew outside, there are constant patrols by soldiers. Feel relieved! Thieves can't turn the sky! For this kind of thing, Li Huamei has also experienced it. At the beginning, his father went north to King Qin, but it was not the same, while entering the palace to face the saint, while tightening the vigilance in the camp.
A smile appeared on Li Shouhan's sallow face. Although there was a big change at the beginning, the daughters, sons, sons-in-law, generals, and officials handled it very properly.
"Shi Lang is worried that the second brother's troops are insufficient, so please ask his father to show him, can he transfer the troops of the water division and land battalion from Songjiang Mansion to stay in the capital to guard?" Seeing Li Shouhan nodding in recognition of his deployment, Li Huamei continued to report to her father. Without Li Shouhan's consent, she didn't dare to make the decision when the water diverter Lu Ying entered Nanjing.
"You don't have to transfer too much, just transfer a battalion of people. Also, Brother Zong. He called Li Peiting in the crowd. You go and tell the heads of the two gangs of Yancao, and let them send more people, and let me see those people dead. Also, let them gather the best men of the gang and use them at any time! β
"My lord, why bother? We have a lot of hidden eyeliner in Nanjing. Enough to use. Li Peiting felt some unexplained joy in his heart, and he vaguely felt the rather subtle changes in Li Shouhan in front of him.
"They're always the snakes of the land, so it's easier to do these things." Li Shouhan paused slightly, trying to calm his tone: "If I don't make this move, I'm afraid they will think that my father has really failed?!" β
"Don't worry, lord!" Li Peiting admires Li Shouhan's methods very much, this kind of means of winning people's hearts and stabilizing the internal is very tight! If you don't arrange the messengers of the two gangs, I'm afraid that these people will think that Li Shouhan has become a ruin after this blow, and in the words of the Hong Kong gangster movie, "This boss can't cover it!" "The boss can't cover it, and the younger brother below will inevitably have some changes, at this time, if there are people who are interested in wooing them, it is impossible to say that these low-level forces mastered by the Nanyue Army will be used by them!
