Chapter 55: The Spring Breeze Blows, and the War Drums Beat

This chapter, there is power, there is a conspiracy, if you can't accept it, use recommendation votes and evaluation votes, as well as collections and book reviews to attack me!

"The god of the stove has not yet known, and the battle is noisy, urging the door to open early. The new Zhong Kui hung up first, and the big red spring post was sold well. The incense of the furnace burns atractylodes. Yellow paper god card. Write the Tianzun number on it. The paper ashes were burned and not swept away, and the people on the street were drunk. ”

Shen Mingde's song "Butterfly Loves Flowers." New Year's Day" describes the scene of the New Year vividly. This New Year in Ha Jing, although it is not as good as Shen Mingde's Suzhou and Hangzhou Erzhou, it is not much different.

From the day of the 25th seal of the lunar month, to the Chinese New Year's Eve vigil, to midnight, Shouhan kept circling everywhere. In addition to sacrificing to the plague god, changing the door god, peach charm, changing the spring post, and sacrificing to the ancestors, it is also necessary to draw bows and arrows with white ash on the road.

On the first day of the fourth year of the Apocalypse, he got up in the morning and led his family to slave by he, the head of the Li family, to worship heaven and earth, and ancestors, but fortunately, there were no elders, and there was no link to kowtow to the elders, and then Yan Mei'er, the housekeeper's wife, distributed red envelopes to the family servants and maids.

After distributing the cooked food of the three animals used to worship the ancestors to everyone to enjoy, Yan Mei'er announced that the house would be closed for two days, and individuals could go out to pay New Year's greetings to relatives and friends, or rest in the house.

As soon as these words came out, the servants, maids, and mothers-in-law in the house dressed up with smooth heads and smooth faces went to the market to find friends and relatives to drink and fight cards. Several mothers-in-law were even full of flowers, shouting to show their sons and daughters-in-law.

Yan Mei'er replaced a few newly cut flowers in the vase in Li Shouhan's study, and complained to her man with some coquettishness, "You let everyone go, and there is no one around you to serve tea, I see what you should do!?" ”

Shouhan put down the thick stack of New Year's greetings in his hand and smiled. "It doesn't matter, it's the New Year anyway, except for looking at these New Year's posts, it's drinking everywhere, and there will be no side things. What if I was allowed to steal half a day? ”

That being said, however, as the leader of a powerful group, Shouhan still has no time to spare.

"My lord, the people below the governor's yamen have done a good job, and now in all villages and towns, especially among those refugees in the south of the Yangtze River, there are many complaints and scoldings about what the governor's yamen has done. People who have orthodox ideas about the Guangxi government, mainly the Liao family and the Mai family, have also begun to feel that it is better to ask for others than for themselves. On the same day, when Fu Bo went to the provincial capital and picked up this cadre, the third master of the Liao family was crying endlessly. ”

What Li Peilin said, Shouhan had already learned about it through the secret reports of the statistics room and the business intelligence room, but he still listened to Li Peilin's face-to-face report.

"Brother Zong, I just received a secret report, news from Thang Long. On the one hand, the Zheng family made good intentions with us, and on the other hand, they quietly transferred the knives, guns, gunpowder and other things we sold to him to the Ruan family, trying to make us and the Ruan family lose both, at least, to make me spend some more energy. ”

Hearing this, Li Peilin couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his back, he was the one to do the negotiation with the Zheng family, if this matter involved him, and then Li Shouhan was dissatisfied with him, it would be too much of a loss.

"Lord, where did this news come from?"

Shouhan glanced at him meaningfully, what's the matter? Planning to inquire about Lao Tzu's intelligence system?

"Well, in a secret pile in Thang Long, a group of palace maids from the Li Palace came a year ago to purchase items for girls, and when they were about to go out, a girl's family suddenly said to the shopkeeper, 'You have to sue your owner, don't let us give your good things to your peers.'" For example, you sold us a thousand silk flowers, 1,200 pieces of incense powder, and 200 pieces of clothing. After they left, the people in the secret pile felt that this was very meaningful, so they began to secretly investigate, and found that the 1,000 knives, 1,200 mourning guns, and 200 barrels of gunpowder that we had given to the Zheng family's imperial forest army had been loaded onto the ship and ready to be transported to the Ruan family! ”

After Li Peilin listened, his heart was terrified, it seems that the people of the Zheng family are also jackals and tigers!

"Lord, in this way, I will retire first, and go back to arrange for the people below to do things."

"Good! Do what you should do! ”

According to the regulations of the Ming officialdom, on the first day of the first lunar month, the local government should look at Que Yaocong, and after the ceremony, that is, the yamen will be dressed in full clothes, and the celebrations will be exchanged back and forth, which can be regarded as a group meeting in this era. Since Shouhan came, he has also experienced it twice.

However, this group meeting is a little different from previous years.

Just when the officials of the General's Mansion, the civil and military people, dressed in court clothes, were about to kowtow to the north, on the road leading to the General's Mansion, groups of people walked towards the outside of the gate.

The leader is Liao Sanye and others who knelt in front of the yamen of the governor of Guangxi a few days ago, and Wang Bao's father Wang Jin is also inside. And Wu Cunjie, the inner bookkeeper in the Han Mansion, stood in the crowd, also with an incense burner on his head.

Thousands of people poured into the gate at one moment, causing great fear among the soldiers of the Guards Battalion on duty.

"Stop! What do you guys do?! The officer who led the team was sweating on his forehead, but he didn't expect such a situation to happen just after taking over the post. Are these people here to cry out or to complain?!

While ordering the soldiers to get ready, he ran towards the general's mansion and reported to his chief officer, the battalion officer of the Guards Battalion, and Ye Qi, who was also in charge of the defense of Hejing City.

"Send someone to see what the people are doing when they come."

Ye Qi, who is known as brave as Xue Rengui, humble as a tree, and as romantic as Zhou Lang, is also a legendary figure in the Han Army.

Ye Qi, the word Shaoning, a native of Anqing Mansion in the south of Zhili, a good family, sixteen to literature to supplement the school of learning, and good martial arts, seven feet long, brave and overlooked, especially good at firearms, taste from the veterans of the guard and Hongyi to obtain the law, the practice is quite fine, if the birds in the hundred steps of the cave are reversed, the same people laugh at it, thinking that it is not enough.

The rise of Donglin, with the party strife as the main business, all those who do not attach themselves to it are eliminated, Qi angrily and said: "The Tang and Song Dynasty party strife is not far away, and it is advisable to ease the cheeks a little, how can it be bad for national affairs with private feelings." Xiang Gong was angry and ridiculed his party for being immoral. Must want to get it, Shao Ning first has a coffin in the hall, stand on its side, and be arrested, the villagers are weeping, and the cavalry is also confused, so he indulges Shao Ning in the road, Shao Ning has nowhere to go, begging in the middle of the food road, encountering a soldier, cloud: "You can go to the south, when you are not evil"! Shaoning Suizhi South.

In Li Peilin's eyes, Ye Qi is a person who has similar political views and backgrounds, and his situation, intentionally or unintentionally, understands it very clearly.

"In the process of fleeing south, I came to Annam to settle down, and after a few years of panic, I went to Ha Tinh. Take refuge under the general. Just as the general was recruiting new soldiers, I gave up my military career and joined the army. ”

At a banquet with Li Peilin's brothers, Ye Qi told his family background to the Li brothers, and asked Li Peiting to find his relatives in the Huaiyang area.

Looking at the thousands of people bustling outside the gate, Ye Qi certainly knew it, but he couldn't tell the team officer on duty.

The people entered the wide gate and stood in the square, many of whom were old men, not trained in military affairs like the strong men, and immediately filled the square capable of holding thousands of people.

"Poof!"

"Poof!" Under the leadership of the old people, people knelt on the ground, holding the incense burner above their heads with both hands, and looked at the old people in front of the queue with anticipation, expecting them to bring good luck to themselves.

Liao Sanye, as in front of the governor's yamen, held up a book of 10,000 words with both hands, which was a document written in a whole flat white cloth, and on it were the fingerprints of countless people covered with blood.

"Please come out and be worshiped by one of our small people!"

Liao Sanye, the two old men of the Mai family, Wu Cunjie, Hu Angu and others took the lead in shouting, and thousands of people shouted together, causing people in Hejing City to also rush to the general's mansion.

"What's wrong? What happened to the General's Mansion? Later they asked the one who came first.

And the man who did the good took the opportunity to preach to the people.

"Don't you know? A few years ago, Liao Sanye and his old people didn't go to the provincial capital to kneel on incense, and asked the Ming officials and troops to send troops to rebel against the Ruan family, who slaughtered and plundered the people of our Han family in Jiangnan, as a result, you should know that the Ming government will not provoke us as foreign abandoners! What to do?! People rob me of my pastoral land, plunder my livestock and property, lewd my wife and daughters and sisters, and burn the tombs of my ancestors, what should we do?! ”

"How?! Please general! Send troops to level the south! Let everyone have more fields! ”

"That's it! Ask the general to come out! Dispatch troops!! ”

"Please send troops, General!"

"Troops!"

"Troops!"

Driven by the people, they shouted loudly, wave after wave.

The soldiers on duty in Yuanmen were blushing with excitement, for them, going out to fight was military merit, land, and reward. and the honor of the family, as well as various financial interests. They are also looking forward to being able to march to the south, just in the west with those Lao natives are not interesting, neither get much good land, nor much military merit, the army has just arrived, those slaves first killed the Tusi and the head, and asked for it to be attached!

Come to think of it, if you send troops to fight south of the Lingjiang River, the Ruan family's army won't cross so quickly, right?!

As a result, the soldiers on duty also began to shout.

"Troops! Dispatch troops! ”

After a while, amid the shouts of the people, the closed door of the General's Mansion opened, and Li Peilin and Fu Bo walked out with shameful faces.

"It's out! An adult has come out! The frenzied crowd gradually quieted down with the efforts of many old men.

Standing on the general's platform in front of the general's mansion, Li Peilin looked at the boundless head in front of him, and suddenly felt a little dizzy, this is the will of the people, the will of the people. I don't know how many people have taken advantage of the people's will throughout the ages and finally achieved the cause of hegemony.

Today, let's give it a try!

"Rank fellow fathers! In the next, Li Peilin, General Meng's wrong love, is the history of the general's mansion! This elder is even more familiar to everyone! It's the old man in the General's Mansion, Fubo! ”

As we are familiar with concerts and other big scenes, the crowd erupted in frenzied applause, cheers, and shouts.

Slowly, after the voice subsided, Li Peilin clasped his fists and saluted, "Fathers, I don't know what is going on here today?" ”

"Xiao Lao'er and others, this time I came here, but I want to ask the general to send troops to Jiangnan to avenge our grievances! Avenge the death of your compatriots! ”

Liao Sanye held up the 10,000-word document written in white cloth high, and two big men next to him hurriedly took it and picked it up with a wooden pole, and the old man read it aloud while taking the incense burner handed by others.

“…… Nan Ruan demon clown, deceived me and no one in China, took my land, destroyed my homeland, plundered my property, humiliated my sisters, invaded my sovereignty, and despised my martial arts! ”

With dozens of old men chanting loudly, I don't know when, the soldiers of the Qilin Battalion, the Phoenix Battalion, and the Guards Battalion also came to the crowd in groups of three or five.

"Weeping blood for a hundred worships, I implore the general to raise a brigade of divisions, cross the river to the south, wash the lair, and return the people to the world."

"This?!" Li Peilin looked embarrassed, "As a court official, if the court doesn't speak, how can the soldiers' and horses' food and salaries be solved?" In what name? Don't fall into the situation of disloyalty! ”

Xiao Lao'er and dozens of other people knelt in front of the governor's yamen for several days, but none of the officials came out to answer, so they had to turn back to Hejing. Sheltered under the general's wing. My Hejing soldiers are strong and strong, why are you afraid of the demon clown of Nanruan? ”

"Having said that, the general's soldiers are also the soldiers of the imperial court, and they must not go through the imperial court and provoke the border!"

Ye Qi stood beside Li Peilin, looking at the more and more people and soldiers in the square, "Mr. Li, please explain the situation to the general first, and ask the general to decide everything." ”

"Rank the old gentry, Li will go to the general, make your wishes clear, and ask the general to decide on a matter."

"If the general doesn't agree to our request! I'll die here! From the crowd, a voice was heard in the distance. As if it was a signal, many people began to shout: "If the general does not agree, I am willing to die!" ”

"That's it! We and other soldiers of all battalions are willing to fight to the death for the general! May I die for the people! The soldiers who stood in the crowd of civilians also shouted.

"Li Shouhan and his accomplices are thieves who take advantage of public opinion and rape public opinion!"

Hundreds of years later, in a small house in Lisbon, the dissident Nguyen Phuc Thanh, who claimed to be a descendant of the Nguyen family, was writing a book about the New Year's petition, which he had come to the conclusion based on the materials he had gathered.

"With Li Shouhan's own vaunted control of the army and his ability to control the Ha Tinh region, if they didn't know about this in advance, would those petitioning people be able to enter the core area so easily? His general's mansion? If it hadn't been arranged in advance, why would so many people react so violently after Li Shouhan rejected the people's demands? ”

"Rank, little old man has taken a step first! Wang Shi set the Central Plains Day in the north, and the family sacrifice did not forget to tell Naiweng! Checkmate! Although the little old man is dead, he will still turn into a long wind and surround the battle flag of our army going south! I hope that the general will cross the river as soon as possible and win all battles! ”

After speaking, Liao Sanye rushed straight towards the flagpole with an arrow, his goal was the cornerstone of the flagpole, intending to carry out a death sentence!

The old man's actions caught all the people present off guard, and seeing that the white-haired old man was about to be splashed with blood on the spot, many timid people closed their eyes, and they couldn't bear to see the scene where the old man's brain burst out.

Li Xiuxiu, who was hiding in the gate of the General's Mansion and peeking, also closed her eyes tightly, and her face was so frightened that she lost her face.

Behind Liao Sanye, more than a dozen old people also resolutely followed, "The homeland was destroyed, the ancestral tomb was humiliated, what face do we have to live in the world?!" ”

At the moment when Liao Sanye's gray head was about to collide with the cornerstone of the flagpole, a big hand in the oblique thorn grabbed the belt of his robe and pulled it to the side, and Liao Sanye couldn't help but stumble to the ground.

"Why don't you let me die!?" His old eyes were full of tears.

Over there, more than a dozen elderly people were also stopped by several soldiers on duty in the Guards Battalion.

Hu Licheng separated from the crowd and ran out, "Ladies and gentlemen! We have survived all kinds of difficulties and dangers, but why are we doing this short-sighted? ”

"Eun Gong!" Because Hu Licheng gave up his family wealth and helped these people with his help, in the eyes of Jiangnan refugees, Hu Licheng was their father-in-law. "The general refuses to go south to avenge our grievances, and the little old man is difficult to survive in this life, so he simply uses this body to pray that the general can understand us!"

Ye Qi helped Liao Sanye up and dusted off the dirt on his body, and the old people's actions were also greatly beyond his expectations. "Which bastard is this tinkering down there?! If it's really a human life, I see who bears this responsibility! ”

Inside the Yimen, the civil and military officials standing in the courtyard are also pale, killing people on the battlefield is nothing, but, looking at a white-haired old man, just like this, he died in front of you, but anyone who has some heart and heart must be moved.

"Big brother! Just agree to the old people's request! Could it be that you really can't bear to watch them die in front of you one by one? Xiuxiu ran in front of Li Shouhan, shaking his arm earnestly, and Yan Mei'er, who was standing behind Shouhan, showed a slight hint of uncertainty on her face, but disappeared immediately.

"I implore you to comply with the will of the people!" Under the leadership of An Tianhong and others, the civil and military officials who had been standing in the courtyard for a long time fell down one after another, and Shanhu asked Li Shouhan to conform to the will of the people, send troops to crusade against the south, avenge the suffering compatriots, and expand their living space and territory by the way.

"Rank up, please!" Li Shouhan gently pushed away Xiuxiu's pair of jade hands, and stretched out his hand to help him in the air, but the civil and military officials kneeling in the courtyard knew very well in their hearts that this moment was a critical period for their promotion and wealth.

"My lord refuses to conform to the will of the people and the army, and we would rather kneel to death in front of my lord! I don't want adults to be infamy! ”

"Please don't stick to Xiaozhong and Xiaoxiao, but consider my Huaxia lineage and conform to the people's will!" Li Peilin had not yet crossed the threshold with one foot, and he had already shouted loudly.

"I don't know."

Li Shouhan's sentence has been recorded by many written materials, and in these inconspicuous four words, his wolf ambition is clearly revealed. The Chinese character Qing, in Chinese, is the king's special word for his subordinates, he is just a small five-grade thousand households in the corrupt and declining Ming Dynasty, how can he use this word?! Nguyen Phuc Yen continued to write hard.

"My Li family has been guarding the border for the Ming Dynasty for generations, although there are grievances of the people, but the Ming court has an order not to provoke the border, I am a minister of the Ming Dynasty, there is a Ming court, and there are instructions from the ancestors and ancestors, how can I do this military thing? I also hope that the good words of the princes will comfort everyone, and give more sympathy, so that they will disperse for the time being, once the Ming court has a will, the Han will take the lead. ”

"That's what my lord said. It's just stubborn! Thinking of the Taizu of this dynasty, when he was clothed, he carried a three-foot sword and raised troops in Huaixi, but did he ever think about the so-called loyalty? The so-called loyalty, since ancient times, is to have great loyalty and righteousness, and foolishness, loyalty and filial piety, between the two, the judgment is like mud! ”

Li Peilin's words were heard not only by the people in the hospital, but also by people outside the hospital.

Ye Qi, who was in the square, after hearing Li Peilin's generous statement, gently helped Liao Sanye to the side and sat down, and gestured with his eyes to a few henchmen standing in the crowd. Those few people immediately understood, raised their arms and shouted: "We are willing to fight to the death for the people, and we are willing to die for the general!" ”

"We are willing to fight to the death for the people, and we are willing to die for the general!"

"We are willing to fight to the death for the people, and we are willing to die for the general!"

"So-and-so! Hereditary Hundred Household Rank General Flag! I am willing to die for the general! ”

"So-and-so! Hereditary flag! I am willing to die for the general! ”

"So-and-so! Hereditary Hundred Household Rank General Flag! I am willing to die for the general! ”

"So-and-so! Hereditary 100 households! I am willing to die for the general! ”

"Lord, if you don't want to become a rebel minister of the Ming Dynasty, we don't need the Ming banner and official name, and act in the name of the people!" Li Peilin finally threw out today's purpose.

"Today, I support General Dai as the president of the South Central Army and President Ma, and also supervise the money and grain civil affairs!"

A few days later, Li Shouhan officially ascended the altar to pay homage to the general, and accepted the golden seal of the presidential official from the five village elders elected by the people of the garrison. This gold seal is made of gold donated by the people, representing that the power comes from the people.
