Chapter 339 Go to the play

watched the stands dial after dial, and chopped several times in a row before stopping.

With each chop, a small official took a large bucket to wash the blood foam and stains on the high platform, making the high platform look like an open-air slaughterhouse.

The onlookers in the audience were thunderous with joy, Xu was used to seeing people's heads fall to the ground over the years, not only were they not afraid, but they all smiled on their faces, as if they had personally participated in revenge.

However, Lin Xiao found that the little girl Ling'er was very nervous, a pair of small hands kept clutching his sleeves, and when she looked down, she found that she was biting her lip, her little face was white, and beads of sweat even oozed from her small nose.

Lin Xiao smiled bitterly and shook her head, she had been in a good mood today, and it was she who shouted to witness the murder of her father and the enemy to ambush and punish the Fa, so Lin Xiao agreed to take her to see the excitement.

But maybe this girl was timid by nature, but now she sees this bloody scene with her own eyes, but she is quite uncomfortable.

At this time, some of the people around him also began to disperse, Lin Xiao felt that the smell of blood here was indeed too strong, Ling'er was not a soldier after all, the first time she saw such a scene, she was probably frightened, and said that she should go back early.

Just as he was leaving, a small official came to the stage, banging on the gong and shouting:

"There is a big drama in the south of the city that doesn't require money, and the gong will start immediately! Come and see! Come and see! ”

Chinese have loved to watch the excitement since ancient times, and such a good thing naturally cannot be missed, and soon, the crowd is pouring towards the south pier of the city.

Lin Xiao felt that it was good to go to the play, maybe the little girl would relax after changing the environment, so he asked with concern, "Are you okay?" …… Let's go to the theater? ”

Ling'er bit her lip and didn't answer, just nodded slightly, obviously, she also likes to watch the excitement.

"Okay, let's go."

It didn't take long for them to follow the crowd to the south of the city.

In front of a stage with a banner of "Mission Mansion Huimin Opera", it has long been surrounded by water, and at a glance, there are people everywhere.

Lin Xiao noticed that compared to just now, the number of women here was obviously much larger, and there were many children who were drilling around in the crowd, all of them with red faces, looking extremely excited.

raised his eyes to look at the stage, but found that an official was standing on the stage, saying something hoarsely and loudly, Lin Xiao looked at it, but that person was Lord Lianchengbi.

Lin Xiao smiled slightly, it seems that even the adults attach great importance to this matter, and personally come over to preside over the opening of the big play.

Pulling Ling'er to slowly squeeze through the crowd, and after getting a little closer to the stage, Lin Xiao heard clearly what Lord Lian was saying.

It turned out that Lord Lian was loudly preaching about the war in Guangzhou:

“…… Now that the war is over, tens of thousands of Tartar troops have been captured, and after the capture army under the command of the Marquis of Qinchuan is stationed, the Guangzhou Mansion is in order...... Except for those who commit adultery, everyone has food and rice...... Those who have left their homes to avoid disasters can return home with peace of mind......"

In the noisy exchange of people in the audience, followed by the big play.

The play is called "The Great Victory", which tells the story of the three great victories of Gaoyao, Zhaoqing and Guangzhou in the battle to recover Guangdong.

The plot of the whole play is full of ups and downs, and I only see the blood of the people in the audience, and whenever there is a plot of begging for the capture army to annihilate the Tartars, the audience all erupts in earth-shattering applause......

The Ming official army has been defeated by the Tartars for too long and too long, and many of the Ming people have even begun to become numb, and they have faintly lost confidence in defeating the Tartars.

It can be said that in the past few years, the disappointment of the Ming army and the fear of the Tartars have pressed on everyone's hearts.

Whenever the Tartars invaded their homes, they were forced to shave their hair and change their clothes, and the experience of kneeling at the feet of the Tartars as a slave has become a nightmare in the hearts of everyone.

And on today's stage, the hearty victories are like removing the haze, and the day is reappearing, everyone spits out the stuffiness in their chests, and they only feel very happy.

"Well played!"

"Kill all the slaves!"

"Kill the dog Tartar and avenge my father!"

Soon, the earth-shattering shouts from the audience gradually drowned out the lyrics on the stage......

Lian Chengbi was standing in the background, quietly watching this scene.

He didn't see Lin Xiao in the crowd, but the expressions of the people fell clearly into their eyes, and the long-lost confidence and pride finally reappeared on their faces today......

Therefore, not only did he not come forward to maintain order, but he was also deeply gratified.

He knows that what the people need more than free dramas is confidence and excitement.

What can give them all this is not the drama on the stage, but the army, and the hope given to them by the country, which is being melted into their earth-shattering cheers......

And this is exactly what he can do as a civil official, and it is also the reward he should give to Qinchuan Hou Linxiao.

Lian Chengbi is a smart person, he knows very well that the territory laid by Lin Xiao and others is nominally controlled by the Ming court, but in fact, the Yongli small court is powerless at all.

The small court is poor and weak, and the foundation is not as thin as a rich businessman, and the treasury of Nanning, the capital of the bank, is so empty that rats can starve to death, and even the salaries of a courtier, all the time, have to rely on Li Dingguo, Zheng Chenggong and others to pay tribute, and now, it is all dependent on Lin Xiao to give help.

Therefore, all the warlords with some strength are selling dog meat on the head of a sheep, and under the banner of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty, they are actually guarding their own territory, and the officials at all levels are their own people.

What's more, the courtiers who follow the emperor every day are really disappointing.

As early as when Guangdong was struggling to hold on, Lianchengbi had already heard that the court and the central government were prevalent in selling official beards, and the small territory was full of princes and marquises, and the lords and generals were everywhere, making those people arrogant and domineering, and if they didn't like it, they would turn their faces and turn their backs and plunder.

What hope can we have if we stop doing this? No wonder Sun Kewang and others would do what it thought.

Born in troubled times, under the rush to the west, Lianchengbi saw more hunger and despair, and for a long time, his heart was about to be numb.

"The soldier dies for his confidant", now that he has thought about it, since he has to meet the Lord and can give him a chance to display his talents, he only does things according to his conscience, and only wants to protect a piece of pure land and protect the people, and the rest can't take care of so much.

Before entering the city this time, Lianchengbi went from place to place, gathering dozens of like-minded people, determined to show his ambitions and dedicate the rest of his life to the people of Guangdong.

……

Today, it is still gratifying, traitors of all sizes have been ambushed, and Lian Chengbi thinks that the people's hearts have been drummed.

Next, his main energy is to help the people survive the green spring, and re-establish the Lijia system to resume production as soon as possible.

Of course, he knew that this was easier said than done.

Compared with a few years ago, the population of Guangdong Province has long since withered away, and several plains along the coast are slightly better, and in the vast mountainous areas of northern Guangdong, there is even a bleak scene of 100 miles of uninhabited people.
