Chapter 575: Sparks

She County Linxi.

"It's a flower-like prosperous world, so it has to be like this!"

Shi Wancheng, the prefect of Huizhou, sighed.

He was sent out of the country when the Datong army occupied Huizhou before, but he did not return to his hometown Xiangtan, he went to a nearby temple to participate in Zen, and the Datong army was welcomed back by the gentry immediately after returning to the imperial court, as a good official who loved the people like a son, he was still very loved by the gentry in Huizhou. At this moment, he was standing in the pavilion on the side of the road, surrounded by drizzle, but on the Huijing Ancient Road in front of him, countless people were pushing trolleys, wearing robes and hats and silently hurrying......

"It's a break, and after so many years of fighting, there will finally be this battle.

I said it back then.

Instead of letting the traitor cut the meat with a blunt knife, it is better to have a good time with him, the princes of Donglin didn't listen, and they had to engage in those useless things with him, which not only made him hurt in vain, but gave him enough time to become today's climate.

Donglin Zhugong mistook me Jiangnan! ”

An elderly scribe beside him said with some regret.

"What Baichang Gong said is extremely true!"

On the other side, Ni Yuanxing, the magistrate of She County, said.

He was not gifted when he was in the Datong Army, because he was a native of Zhejiang, the brother of Ni Yuanlu, the cabinet minister in the last years of Chongzhen, as a celebrity of the Zhejiang family, the Datong Army reunited with his relatives as soon as he came, and the Huizhou gentry of course would not send him out of the country, and after the Datong Army returned to the imperial court, he was still the county.

"Where is this people?"

Shi Wancheng said.

At this moment, the front line of Congshan Pass is still in fierce fighting.

Sandwiched between two mountains and locked the north gate of Huizhou, this pass has been held back by 10,000 diehards of the original Datong Army who fled back from Nanjing, and 10,000 local regimental training in Huizhou, and has been holding back the Jingnan Army for more than a month.

Originally, Yang Xin thought that it should be a devastating attack, but he didn't expect it to become the most tragic offensive and defensive battle on the Jiangnan battlefield so far.

So far, the Zhejiang Front alone has suffered more than three thousand casualties.

It is the boundary between the two major mountain ranges of Tianmu Mountain and Huangshan, and it is also the watershed of the Qiantang River system and the Yangtze River water system. Then each side of the small mound like a small lump was squeezed out very abruptly, and after squeezing together, the entire passage was completely blocked, and the defenders used the original Congshan Pass to turn this mound like an intestinal obstruction into a fortress to stubbornly block the Jingnan army.

There were no serfs stationed there, all of them were close branches of the clans of those big families in Zhejiang.

Small landowners, kulaks......

Even the tenants are the kind of best land, not only can they have enough food and clothing, but even the most trusted tenants who will be protected by the clan in times of famine.

They will not surrender.

This is the last resistance force that the whole of Zhejiang and Huizhou can gather together.

This gate is the boundary.

As long as Congshan Pass is still closed to the Jingnan army, the countless tenants and serfs behind will not dare to rebel, once this gate is opened, without the Jingnan army's hands, the tenants and serfs behind will burn the landlord's prosperity like a raging fire.

So at this moment, the gentry of the whole of Huizhou, and even the whole of Zhejiang in the rear, and even Fujian and Jiangxi, are doing their best to provide support.

Especially Huizhou.

Almost all the great families of Huizhou joined this gentry mobilization, and the materials they mobilized were sent to Congshan Pass day and night under the transportation of the same people they collected. Weapons and ammunition, food, wine and meat, and even those who sent opera troupes to sing and motivate the soldiers, and the gentry actually recruited a group of prostitutes to come to comfort them.

As for these......

"Yixian's."

The scribe, who is also the local township leader Wu Yangchun, said.

He is a salt merchant and timber merchant, his family has more than 2,000 acres of mountain farms in Huangshan, but it is only a symbolic number, it is essential to encroach on his own family, his ancestors started by timber merchants, and he got involved in the salt industry after having enough capital, not only in Yangzhou, but also in Changlu. In the early years of Wanli, the family donated 200,000 taels, jumped from a businessman to a scholar and was given two officials of Guanglu Temple in Nanjing, and the family donated 300,000 yuan after the fire in the three major halls, in exchange for a family of five cabinet letters.

In one fell swoop, it became a top famous family in Huizhou.

Until now, Wu Yangchun has two sons who are officials in the capital.

He is of the same clan as Wu Kongjia, the new science detective.

The relationship is a bit complicated, though.

Wu Kongjia's family has declined before, at least not at the same level as Wu Yangchun, but his father likes to participate in clan affairs, it is said that because he angered Wu Yangchun at the clan meeting, he threw it over the inkstone and smashed it to death, some say that he was smashed to death, and some say that he was angry to death if he didn't smash it.

In short, the death of Wu Kongjia's father has something to do with him.

But because of this, he felt quite guilty about Wu Kongjia.

The latter has been under his care and sponsorship since he was a child, but Wu Kongjia does not appreciate this, and even has a lot of hatred, and it is rumored that the walls of the temple where he studied are full of dead characters......

Of course, this kind of wealthy grudge against outsiders should be a story.

Whether there is or not, it has nothing to do with outsiders, a local clan like Huizhou is the sky, the emperor still has to be the second, Wu Yangchun is at this level, it is not a big deal to kill a broken household in the clan, and there is even a legend that he killed his younger brother Wu Yangze in order to fight for the family property, and poisoned the latter's son! It is inevitable that there will be some messy rumors in big households, how can such a kind villager who repairs bridges and roads do such a thing, now Wu Kongjia has worshiped under the nine-thousand-year-old door, and Wu Yangchun's family has a close relationship with Tian Ergeng, and the Wu family can be said to be still in full swing.

As he spoke, a young officer rode his horse and galloped from the south.

"Brother Jiang!"

Wu Yangchun smiled and waved his hand.

The latter hurried over and dismounted and saluted.

"Caomin Jiang Lei has seen Fuzun!"

He said.

"Jiang Yishi is exempt!"

Shi Wancheng said with a smile.

"This is Jiang Bolei, the leader of the Yixian People's League, who has been a family of poetry and books for generations, and he escorted the transportation from Yixian County to Congshan Pass these days."

Wu Yangchun said.

"Loyal and righteous!"

Ni Yuanheng said with emotion.

"Although the grass people are only shallow in learning, they have been taught by their father since childhood, and they also know that loyalty and treachery are not mutually exclusive, and the traitors poison the gentry, causing chaos in the world, even if the grass people can't slash it, they should also fight with it to the end, where the righteousness is, although tens of millions of people go to me!"

Jiang Lei said angrily.

"Good ......"

Shi Wancheng just said a good one, and suddenly there was an exclamation from behind.

They immediately turned their heads to look.

A man pushing a cart overturned on the side of the road because of the slippery road in the rain, and two of the four large wooden barrels loaded in his cart were smashed on the stones on the side of the road, and the gunpowder in them spilled out, and they were immediately soaked......

"Keep on your way!"

Jiang Lei shouted.

As soon as these cars stopped, the road, which was not wide, was completely blocked.

There is a fierce battle on the front line, and there must be no delay in this gunpowder, otherwise they would not have braved the rain to hurry.

"He's got a big cut on his leg!"

A man shouted dissatisfied.

"Bastard thing, make a cut, can it be compared to the cannonballs of the soldiers of Congshan Pass? Hurry up before you fall to your death, delay the military quartermaster to watch your heads, write these two barrels of gunpowder on this waste account, and go back and let him pay for it! ”

Jiang Lei shouted.

The man was so frightened that he quickly got up, and despite the blood on his legs, he lay on the ground and kowtowed and begged for mercy.

At the same time, several soldiers went over and whipped the other people, and the face of the one who spoke just now was angry......

"Ma's are all people, why does Lao Tzu have to be a cow and a horse for you?"

He whispered.

"What did you say?"

Jiang Lei shouted.

The man bowed his head and did not answer.

"Fellow villagers, don't be fooled by those fallacies, this tenant, the slave, listens to the words of the master is a matter of course, the husband has heaven and earth, there are kings and ministers, there are fathers and sons, there are masters and servants, heaven and earth do not change, then kings and ministers, fathers and sons, masters and servants are also unchanged.

So who is Yang Shun?

Rebels and thieves!

Will he be able to listen to him?

We are all villagers in the township, and we get along in harmony on weekdays, how can we have a dislike because of an outsider, a chaotic minister and a thief's nonsense?

This brother is also careless, even if the two barrels of gunpowder that were destroyed are on my account, you see, the chaotic ministers and thieves said that the landlord exploited the tenants, and the master bullied the slaves, this is all some discord, we are all villagers in the village, we will help you if you have something, and we can work together to deal with outsiders. And this brother, don't talk like this Meng Lang in the future, what is used as a cow and a horse, it is all for the land of Sangzi, we will pay for your efforts. ”

Wu Yangchun said.

"Then I should be a slave to you for a lifetime, and my children and grandchildren should also be slaves to you for generations, and there will never be a day to turn over?"

The man said.

"What the hell is this?"

Ni Yuanheng said angrily.

"Take it now!"

Jiang Lei shouted.

"It's just not like words, you don't understand the rules at all, whose slave are you, and the master hasn't taught you the rules?"

Wu Yangchun shouted.

At the sound of their shouting, the soldier quickly stepped forward, and the man tried to resist, but he did not dare to move in the face of the musket, and stood there and let the soldiers press him down. However, this scene made those people restless for a while, and then more people stopped, and the few who had stopped together just now immediately stepped forward, and the one who knelt down and begged for mercy reached out and hugged a soldier is leg......

"Master, master, it's all a small fault, you can spare him!"

He wailed.

"Brothers, our ancestors have been slaves for generations, and we have been listed as lowly for generations, do you still want your children and grandchildren to continue to be cattle and horses for them, and they really want to be the same as heaven and earth? The army of Yingguo Gong is outside Congshan Pass, this is a godsend, this opportunity is missed, don't think about it in the future, whether our children and grandchildren can get out of the sea of suffering depends on this time! ”

The man who had been caught shook off the soldier and yelled.

The surrounding people were in chaos, and one of the soldiers who was blocking them directly punched him......

"It's the other way around, it's the other way around, shut up this shit!"

Wu Yangchun screamed.

Jiang Lei did not hesitate to pull out his short gun, aimed at the man and pulled the trigger......

(I had a serious cold yesterday and went to get an injection, two chapters today, and I will probably be able to recover three chapters tomorrow)
