At the sound of the order, the team quietly supported the lightly wounded, carried the seriously wounded on their backs, and quietly moved to the back of the mountain. Along the way, I saw a large number of big knives, spears, flat poles, and baskets that Hongjiang would throw away when it retreated.

Gong Ren said to Tang Qingying: "Why did you say that the Qing army did not encircle Niutou Mountain? Tang Qingying said: "I don't know." Gong Ren said: "Our team has many people and few guns, and lacks training, while the Qing soldiers have few guns and are well-trained. So they surrounded us on three sides, let us live, forced some of us to flee, and caused confusion for our large army, so that they would have the upper hand. ”

Tang Qingying nodded and said, "So that's the case, it seems that the commander of the Qing army is still quite good at fighting." ”

As Gong Chuntai walked, he encouraged some of the people around him: "Manly husbands, they all raise their heads, fall down and get up again, there is nothing remarkable, this time I lost the battle, will I win the battle next time." Liao Shubao also shouted: "It's dead or alive, what is there to be afraid of." There will be people in Hongjiang, gather together and do it! ”

Monk Demo led a few monks who did not die and also silently chanted: "Life in the world is like a sea of suffering, that is, suffering, bad suffering, not asking for suffering, resentment and hatred, love and parting suffering, since suffering has come, why be afraid of it......"

Gong Chuntai saw that everyone's mood was gradually calming down, and in order to encourage everyone, he talked about Feng Naigu's ability: "Once Brother Ma Fuyi called a few of us together for a meeting, and he was sitting on a grinding plate, so the sun was shining, so he asked a few of us to move to a cool place. A few people tried it, it weighed more than 1,000 pounds, and no one moved, guess what, at this time, Feng Naigu pushed everyone away, luckily, picked up the grinding plate with two hands, and then gently put it in the shade, his face did not change, he was not panting, and several people around him were stunned at once. ”

A few people around listened to it and stammered their tongues.

Gong Chuntai said again: "Feng Naigu not only has strength, but also good martial arts, he is simply the same as Xiang Yu, he will be surrounded by thousands of enemies, hundreds of people surround him, and he can't get together at all." You say, let's go find someone with such ability, what are we afraid of? The people who listened to the story nodded again and again, and passed on ten, ten to hundred, and talked about Feng Naigu's ability one after another. Everyone seemed to have increased their confidence again, and the troops quickened the pace of the march.

As they walked, suddenly there was a fierce burst of gunfire in front of them, and there was confusion in the ranks. Gong Ren, Tang Qingying, and some Hongjiang members immediately rushed forward, because it was as dark as ink, they only heard countless bullets fired at the head-on, but they couldn't see the enemy at all, and only vaguely saw some people who had just been wounded lying on the ground, among which Wei Zongquan was also wounded and lying on the ground.

Gong Ren hurriedly lay down in front of Wei Zongquan and asked anxiously, "Where is the injury?" Wei Zongquan trembled all over, gritted his teeth and said, "My leg, it may be broken-" Gong Ren touched his leg, felt slimy, put it on his hand and smelled it, there was a smell of blood, and he quickly tore off a strip of cloth from his body to bandage his wound.

At this time, some Hongjiang members were shooting blindly with guns, and some Hongjiang members were looking around for the enemy. Gong Ren hurriedly shouted: "Get down, get down, get down—" These people fell down one after another.

Gong Chuntai also ran over, lying next to Gong Ren and asked, "What's the matter?" Gong Ren shouted: "Presumably we have been ambushed by the enemy, so we can't fight hard, so we quickly retreat to other places." ”

The two of them were talking about the situation, when suddenly there was a shout of killing from the front, and countless people rushed to this side. Gong Chuntai and Liao Shubao commanded a part of the people to hurriedly shoot at the rushing enemy, block the enemy, and then cover the retreat of the team.

Gong Ren picked up Wei Zongquan and left, Wei Zongquan patted Gong Ren on the shoulder and said: "I'm already a waste person, no matter how much I drag you down, you won't be able to escape." Leave me alone, cover the retreat of the Grand Governor! Gong Ren said: "Don't talk too much, be obedient!" Obedient! While running, Gong Ren felt that the wet blood on one of Wei Zongquan's legs kept flowing onto his legs, presumably Wei Zongquan's blood did not stop, but there were Qing soldiers chasing after him, and it was too late to stop the bleeding.

Tang Qingying covered Gong Ren, and while running, she shot at the Qing soldiers who pounced. However, the Qing army still surrounded more and more, and the encirclement became closer and closer. Gong Ren couldn't run fast with Wei Zongquan on his back, so he was so anxious that Wei Zongquan patted Gong Ren on the shoulder vigorously and said, "It's important to cover the retreat of the governor, and I will cover you." ”

Gong Ren yelled at him anxiously, "It's okay to be quiet!" Be quiet! A few more Qing soldiers surrounded him, Tang Qingying had no bullets, and he was holding a scimitar and fighting with the enemy.

Wei Zongquan fired a shot at a Qing soldier running over on Gong Ren's back, and the Qing soldier fell in response, Wei Zongquan estimated that the bullet was running out, and pulled the trigger towards his temple.

Gong Ren trembled, he already had a premonition that something was happening, and he felt that Wei Zongquan on his back suddenly made no sound, and his body was soft and uncontrollable, and he was about to fall to the ground. He put down Wei Zongquan, and saw through the faint light of the fire that Wei Zongquan was already ** cracked and completely out of shape. Gong Ren shouted in grief: "Brother Wei, why are you like this, why are you like this!?" ”

At this time, several Qing soldiers rushed to him again.

Tang Qingying held a scimitar in her hand, stabbed several people in a row, pulled Gong Ren and said, "The matter has come to this, hurry up!" Come on! Gong Ren raised his hands and exclaimed loudly: "My good brother! My good brother! was dragged forward by Tang Qingying.

Gong Chuntai and Liao Shubao rushed over, and Gong Ren was speechless with a whimper. Gong Chuntai's face was grim, gritting his teeth "rattling", Liao Shubao stomped his feet and scolded the dog: "I will be your ancestor for eight lifetimes, and when I catch you, I can't pick your skin alive." ”

Tang Qingying's mind was still quite clear, and after counting the number of people, there were only 23 people left in the rebel army.

Towards dawn, the weary group reached the head of Puji Village. Liao Shubao urged the team loudly and said, "Let's go, find Brother Feng and ask him to get us a full meal first, this day and one night, I will be hungry." ”

Gongren pricked up his ears and listened to the movement in the village, only to feel that the north wind was blowing, the pine branches were shaking, there was no sound of dogs barking and horses barking, and it seemed that the whole village was asleep. Looking further into the village, I saw a huge village, without any lights, inky black, and there seemed to be a kind of ghostly and demonic yin in the darkness deeply shrouded.

Gong Ren waved his hand to Liao Shubao and said, "Slow down, don't enter the village first, let's find a place to hide first, and send someone into the village to contact us." Liao Shubao shouted: "It's all at the edge of the village, how can there be any reason not to enter the village, everything is under the care of Brother Feng!" ”

Gong Chuntai said to Liao Shubao: "Brother Liao, you are very treated in extraordinary times, and sooner or later you don't care about this for a while. Liao Shubao muttered: "Okay, okay, listen to you." I'm so cowardly with you, don't do anything. ”

They found a miscellaneous forest and got in, and there were pines, plane trees, paulownia trees, maple trees, and camellia trees. As soon as their spirits relaxed, they were all paralyzed, some of them lay on the ground on all fours, and some simply closed their eyes and fell asleep suddenly.

Gong Chuntai, Liao Shubao, Gong Ren, and Tang Qingying, where did they dare to rest, and quietly moved to the back of a small earthen hill not far from the village, and carefully observed the village.

By this time it was already dawning, and a path winded into the village. Several small trees in the village are particularly beautiful, several towering trees are also particularly eye-catching, the houses are scattered, the size of the courtyard is different, I vaguely see the threshing ground at the entrance of the village, there are some stone locks and stone burdens for practice, a flagpole is erected on the edge of the threshing ground, a small flag is hung on the flagpole, and the word "Feng" floats on the flag.

Back then, that is, in this place, there was a cattle and horse trading conference every year, how lively it was, there were crowds of people, mules and horses, pigs and dogs were everywhere, and Ma Fuyi was in this place, accepting the rank of major general, and setting up the banner of the anti-Manchu revolution, but looking at the current situation, it is really incomparable.

Liao Shubao shouted: "Brother Feng often practices martial arts on this threshing floor, and the stone burden and stone lock are used by Brother Feng to practice arm strength. ”

Gong Ren waved his hand and whispered, "No! Don't you think the threshing floor seems too quiet, and you can't hear the dogs barking or the cows and horses barking in the village. People who practice martial arts should get up early to practice, why can't anyone see it, where are the people? ”

Liao Shubao smiled: "Even if Qinggouzi captures it, then there will be a bloody battle, and Brother Feng's thousands of people are not vegetarians." You guys have so many hearts! It's still early, and they haven't gotten up yet. As he spoke, he was going to go in again.

Gong Ren pulled him and said, "Let's wait a little longer and observe!" Otherwise, I'll take a trip with Tang Qingying, you are so arrogant, it's really unreassuring. Uncle Liao pouted and said, "Do you recognize Brother Feng's home?" You don't recognize it. At this time, it's strange not to let Brother Feng's people arrest you as a spy. ”

Gong Chuntai carefully told him: "If you want to go, brother should be more careful, go and come back quickly." ”

Liao Shubao said: "No problem, when we get here, what are we afraid of?" ”

Liao Shubao hummed a little song and staggered towards the village, along the way, no one was touched, and every household was closed. When he arrived at a large compound in the middle of the village, Liao Shubao saw that the Zhu door was closed tightly, so he patted the door knocker vigorously and shouted: "Brother Feng, open the door!" Open the door! Here comes the guests. ”

After filming for a long time, no one in the courtyard agreed. Liao Shubao felt strange, so he pushed hard, and the door "squeaked" and opened by himself. Liao Shubao looked at the courtyard, on the right is the weapon rack, on the shelf are swords, guns, swords, halberds, axes, hooks and forks eighteen kinds of weapons, and on the left is a small piece of flat land, just in the courtyard to practice knives and guns, practice martial arts. Liao Shubao shouted again: "Brother Feng, the guests are here, the guests are here, the sun is drying your buttocks, how can you not afford it!" ”

The door of the hall was open, but no one agreed, so Liao Shubao shouted again: "Since you don't come out to greet me, I'll enter the door by myself." He gently pushed open the door, and saw that in the room, everything was still the same, and on the east side was a double bed, on which white sheets, red satin quilts, and embroidered double pillows were neatly arranged. Next to the bed is a carved face plate shelf, on which is a copper basin, and there is half a basin of water in the basin, and the fine ripples tremble slightly. The Eight Immortals Table and the Taishi Chair in the center were wiped cleanly, and there was a large tea tray on the Eight Immortals table, and a round thing was placed on the big tea tray, covered with a red cloth.

The room was so quiet that it was a little breathless.

Liao Shubao felt that this bulging watermelon-like thing was a bit strange, and couldn't help but suddenly uncover the red cloth and take a look, he couldn't help but be surprised, and gasped into his stomach with a breath of cool air, and he didn't exhale it for a long time - it turned out to be a human head.

I saw that this human head was full of angry eyes, his eyebrows were upside down, the tiger was vigorous, and the charm was still there, who was this Feng Naigu? Liao Shubao trembled all over, looked at the back of his body again, and couldn't help but be covered in millet, and his body had a spasm, it turned out that there was a row of big nails on the wall behind him, and there was a row of human heads hanging on the nails, men, women and children, and the heads were frightened and in pain. It was only then that Liao Shubao felt a bloody breath wafting through the room.

Liao Shubao only felt that the blood was boiling, and the blood suddenly surged all over his head, and his head was buzzing. He yelled, retreated outside the house, drew his knife in his hand, and searched everywhere, but there was still no one to be seen. Furious and angry, his heart almost exploded, and his whole body trembled like boiling water, and he roared: "Qing Gouzi, I am your ancestor for eight lifetimes, where are you—" The voice of manic rage echoed in the empty courtyard.

He rushed to the west wing like crazy, and when he pushed the door, he saw thirty or forty heads hanging from the beams, all of them unyielding, or sleeping with their eyes closed. Needless to say, these are all the brothers of the Elders' Association, Liao Shubao withdrew from the West Wing Room again, his eyes were full of anger, and all his spirit was gathered on one point, that is, to find the dog to take revenge.

There was movement outside the door, there was a sound of footsteps, and from time to time there were Qing soldiers flashing through the door.

Liao Shubao laughed: "Haha! I have a good time today, I have to avenge my brothers in Brother Ma, Master Shen, Brother Wei, Brother Feng, Brother Elders, and Hongjiang Society! On the contrary, his spirit calmed down, and he walked steadily to the gate, and saw that there were hundreds of Qing soldiers at the door, and the whole courtyard was surrounded by water.

Liao Shubao smiled at Qing Bing: "There is a way in the world, you don't go, there is no door to hell, you come in, don't blame me Liao Shubao is not polite." After speaking, he raised his knife at the nearest Qing soldier, cut off half of his body, and said to himself: "Brother Ma Fuyi, I have avenged you." He flashed and stabbed at a Qing soldier who rushed over, stabbed a heart-piercing flower, and said, "Master Shen, you are also enough." Just when he was about to kill the third Qing soldier, suddenly a row of gunshots rang out, Liao Shubao couldn't help but tremble, dozens of blood holes appeared on his body, and he quickly used a big knife to support his body.

The Qing soldiers did not dare to move forward. There was another row of gunshots, but Liao Shubao still didn't fall, he seemed to be laughing at the Qing soldiers, see what you can do to me? It seems to be with a hint of guilt, Brother Wei, I haven't avenged you yet! It was a long, long time before he fell like a mountain......

Gong Chuntai, Gong Ren and others heard the sound of gunfire in the village, and only then did they know that things had changed, and they wanted to retreat quickly, but it was too late. Hundreds of Qing soldiers emerged from the front and back, left and right, approaching this side. Gong Chuntai looked at the 22 people around him, even sleepy and hungry, many of them had weak legs, weak qi, almost unstable standing, and most of them hung flowers, many people had bandages hanging on their arms, lame legs, not to mention fighting, even if they wanted to take a few more steps, they were already more than willing to do it.

Gong Chuntai sighed: "I miss me Gong Chuntai, and I am also a hero, but I didn't expect to be trapped here today." It's okay, I'll go with my Master Shen, Brother Wei, Brother Liao and Brother Hongjiang, so as to save you from loneliness. ”

Gong Ren picked up a pile of red clay under his feet, asked for "Taiping Tao Strategy" from Tang Qingying's back, hid it in the red clay, and then said to Tang Qingying: "Our grandfather, this life is really a knife and a gun, and the head is tied to the belt of the trousers, it seems that today is the end of the road." Qingying, don't blame your father, it's me who is not good and didn't take you well. ”

Xiao Qingying snuggled in Gong Ren's arms and said: "Brother Gong Ren, I don't blame you, I can die with you, and I am also down-to-earth." ”

Some of these most loyal Hongjiang members prayed to the heavens and blessed their relatives at home, and some put knives on their necks, but they really couldn't do it, so they cut themselves off with a knife.

The Qing army was getting closer and closer, and the officers behind the Qing army were shouting: "Catch alive, 50 taels of silver each." "Don't let these leaders of the Hongjiang Society run away!" "Rush—"

At this moment, a dense burst of gunfire suddenly sounded behind the Qing army, and another Qing army arrived, killing these Qing troops in front of them in a mess at once, and they either fell to the ground and died or escaped injured. The Qing army rushed to the middle of Gong Chuntai and these Hongjiang members at once.

Gong Chuntai was about to shoot, but Gong Ren suddenly found that the one led by Wang Dayan was Wang Dayan, next to Li Si, Zhang San and some other backbone members of the triad, and hurriedly shouted: "Don't shoot, your own people!" ”

Wang Dayan saw that it was Gong Ren, and hurriedly shouted: "You told us to find it so hard!" ”

Gong Ren asked suspiciously: "Why are you wearing the clothes of the Qing army?" Wang Dayan said: "If it weren't for the clothes of the Qing army, would you have been able to get here so smoothly?" I didn't learn it from you. Without further ado, let's hurry up! ”

Of course, Gong Ren was still thinking about "Taiping Taoluo", so he quickly took it out again and tucked it in his arms. Wang Dayan commanded this living force, and quickly dragged these Hongjiang members to the side to retreat, and some Qing troops still wanted to pursue, but they were beaten down by Wang Dayan and them, and they were so frightened that they didn't dare to chase anymore.

After getting rid of the pursuit of the Qing army, Wang Dayan simply asked Gong Chuntai and them to change into the clothes of the Qing army, and pretended to tie up a few Hongjiang members, so that they could get rid of the search of the Qing army patrol in such a dense place of the Qing army, and find a small village to hide.

Gong Chuntai sent a few people who were in better health, pretending to be ordinary people, and inquired about the whereabouts of the Hongjiang Society, and heard some news intermittently.

On December 6, Li Xiangge, the owner of the Hongjiang Hall in Liling, led more than 1,000 people to revolt and went straight to Liling County. That night, 10 miles away from the city, he met with Zhao Chunting, the 10th team of the Qing Defense Battalion, and the two sides started a fierce battle, and it happened that 60 Qing troops from Zhuzhou came to help by train. When the rebels saw the huge momentum of the train, they didn't know how many Qing troops were coming, so they were timid and dispersed.

After the Battle of Niushiling, the main force of the Qing army took advantage of the momentum to go north on the 14th and directly attacked the Daxi cottage where Jiang Shoudan's headquarters was stationed. Jiang Shoudan led his troops to fight fiercely for three days, and on the 17th, he led the rest of the more than 400 people to retreat to Pingjiang. On the 20th, he was defeated by the superior Qing army at Pingshan Hepu, and Jiang Shoudan fled to Jiujiang by detour.

The Anyuan Coal Mine has always been the focus of attention of the Qing government, which was worried about the uprising of the miners, and the production of the Anyuan Coal Mine. When Gong Chuntai attacked north, the reason why Xiao Kechang's main army did not move was because the rebels wanted to work hard to keep this base area.

After Gong Chuntai's main army was dispersed in the battle of Niushiling in Liuyang, on the 18th, Wang Desheng, the assistant commander of the 8th town of the Hubei Army, also led 3 battalions of the 29th standard infantry and 1 artillery team to Pingxiang, and sent 1 infantry and 1 artillery team to Anyuan. On the 25th, the Hubei army captured and killed Xiao Kechang in Anyuan. Subsequently, Qin Bingzhi and Lin Zhixi, the general office of the coal mine, negotiated to set up a patrol police station in Anyuan to seriously check the workers inside and outside the mine and nearby residents, and adopted a serial guarantee system, arresting more than 100 people without insurance, and escorting them to the provincial border by train for dismissal.

After the defeat of the rebel armies, tens of thousands of Qing troops were stationed in various townships and towns in Liu, Li, and Ping counties, and carried out a three-month "clean-up of the townships", and the total number of soldiers and their relatives killed was no less than 10,000.

Faced with such a sinister situation, Gong Chuntai had no choice but to disband this small team, sneaked to Changsha to hide temporarily, Gong Ren and Tang Qingying secretly returned to Guangzhou, Bi Yongnian sneaked back to the mountains and forests, and continued to retreat into Buddhism to practice the Fa.

When the Pingliuli uprising broke out, Liu Daoyi was in Hengshan, and after hearing the news, he rushed to Changsha, preparing to launch a new army to raise the flag in response, but unfortunately was arrested by the Qing army, and took up justice outside the Liuyang Gate in Changsha on December 31. Sun Yat-sen wrote a poem to express his deep condolences:

Half of the wall is east and west, and Liu Lang is dead and dominates the sky. The remaining legacy is very difficult, who is generous with the Si people. Plug the autumn wind and sad war horses, and the sunset in Shenzhou weeps and mourns. When to drink Huanglong wine, across the river to lay a gong.

The vigorous Pingliuli uprising failed in this way.
