Chapter 2: Fighting
"General? Hahaha, you're a long-haired spy who is also interesting, and you're dizzy from believing in foreign religions? ”
The leader of the Qing army was full of beard, and he couldn't stop laughing with a waist knife, but the leather armor he was wearing was also tattered, like a land scoundrel, Liu Chang's sentence "General" made him quite happy, he said: "Tell you this spy, it is now the fourth year of Xianfeng, and it is only five years before Xianfeng, and it is still Lord Xianfeng who sits in the country!" ”
He added: "You spy, what are you doing here, you quickly confess your accomplices, otherwise this official will correct you on the spot!" ”
When Liu Chang heard the words Xianfeng for four years, his mind couldn't help but feel dizzy.
Xianfeng four years? Why is this mouth so evil, if you insist on wearing it for fifteen years, maybe you can now be happy with this book on the Internet, but you can say that one hundred and fifty years ago, okay!
He didn't calculate the year of Qing Xianfeng for a while, but it was definitely 185 AD, it could not be the year 1862 planned by Yang Zi that year.
Just as he was thinking, the bearded man had already lifted his waist knife and smashed it down, and stepped on his back again: "Anti-thief, who are your accomplices yet?" Who are you sending to deliver the letter? ”
Liu Chang had a pain on his body, but he was a spirit, he had been mixed in the society for so many years, and he finally had some insight, so he immediately followed the bearded man's words and said: "General, I have a lot of accomplices, which one are you talking about?" ”
The corners of the bearded man's mouth couldn't help but smile: "This long hair is also clever, and Vice General Yao is lacking such a clever person over there!" ”
He is the confidant of Vice General Yao, and he knows that his boss is an expert in making money, and he usually doesn't know how much blood he has looted.
In the eyes of Lord Yao, Dongxiang is not enough to make a living, and it is the right way to take the opportunity to make a fortune, you must know that although these rich people usually have a lot of filial piety, no one is afraid of a lot of money, not to mention that Deputy General Yao is in charge of the army, and the civil can't interfere much, so he can only scrape more soldiers' blood.
The real long-haired spy in front of him is simply a gift that has fallen from the world, and the bearded man has touched it with his own hands, it is indeed short hair, yes, and it is not temporarily shaved, and Dongxiang is different from those mud-legged fake long hair in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, it is definitely a real long hair and real hair.
As long as he takes the opportunity to bite a few rich people, even if he doesn't destroy the door, he can scrape out half of the house of gold and silver, he immediately asked: "Is your accomplice Liu Haoyu, and ......?"
He clicked on the names of a few uninteresting landlords, Liu Chang immediately memorized them, and immediately replied: "That's right, I sent a letter to Liu Haoyu this time, and ......."
In this situation, saving your life comes first, and as for biting these rich people whose names are heard for the first time, it can only be a helpless move.
Only by keeping a useful body can you achieve great things, but Liu Chang is thinking about his future while carrying his name, and he sincerely wants to join the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which is definitely not what he wants to do, but the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is also a dou who can't be supported, and Liu Chang doesn't have much good impression of Hong Xiuquan's great cause of the Heavenly Kingdom.
The bearded man was afraid that Liu Chang would make a mistake, so he asked him to memorize it a few times before it came to an end, and then asked: "Is Liu Haoyu in his early fifties, five feet tall, bald......?"
Liu Chang recited it several times before he said: "Exactly, this general, I know everything, can I save my next life!" ”
The bearded man said in an imstandard official dialect: "If you are interested, this official will give you a few good words in Master Yao, and maybe you will be able to save your life!" ”
His heart is bright, although this little hair rebellion is interesting, but it can't be kept, as long as he records a confession, he has to kill it, he said again: "Now follow me to see Lord Yao, you know what to say!" ”
A few waist knives and short Yu were set up by Liu Chang's side, escorting him forward, these Qing soldiers are usually very hard, and at this time they took the opportunity to make a bid to the bearded man: "Mr. General, what kind of reward should I pay for catching this long hair this time?" ”
"Yes! Getting us out of the hot quilt, how can we give a few meanings! ”
"Lord Zong, we have arrested a real bandit, you can say a few more words in front of Lord Yao, and deduct a few pennies less this month."
They made a bid at the bearded man, while talking to each other in a language that Liu Chang didn't understand, and when they saw Liu Chang walking a little slower, they slammed their fists: "Long hair, hurry up!" Otherwise, Lao Tzu will correct the Fa on the spot! ”
The bearded man over there has been thinking about how to kill his mouth, he has followed Vice General Yao for many years, and he is already very familiar with this hand: "If this little bandit is interesting, he will give him a good time if he records a confession, if he doesn't know ...... fun."
At this moment, it is almost dawn, and this team of Qing soldiers has already walked two or three miles with Liu Chang, and they are all excited: "I will go to the county seat immediately, go quickly!" ”
Liu Chang looked at it by the light, and in front of him was a county town that was about the same size as the town in later generations, and the city wall was not high, and he didn't know how many Qing soldiers were arranged in it, but his eyes lit up at the next moment.
"Boom...... Rumble...... Boom ......"
Three cannons rang out in unison, and then several yellow flags came out, followed by groups of rebels surrounded by red turbans roaring loudly and rushing over, and the bearded waist knife couldn't hold it: "It's the bandits attacking the city, it's the bandits attacking the city!" ”
He has also experienced several battles, but they are all child's play to catch bandits, these years with Deputy General Yao has learned the skill of making money with one hand, and the skills of fighting have been left behind, and now I see that there are hundreds of red scarves killed here, that is really six gods without masters.
The dozen or so Qing soldiers under his command were even more unbearable than him, trembling all over, and he didn't know what to do, and it took a while for the bearded man to think that Liu Chang was a strange commodity to live in, and he shouted loudly: "Let them stop, let this group of bandits stop!" This is the long-haired spy sent by Nanjing, really long-haired, if they don't stop, I will kill this bandit messenger from Nanjing, no, it's the big boss! ”
In the blink of an eye, Liu Chang turned from a small rebel to a big bandit leader, and several Qing soldiers had already shouted according to his meaning: "Stop, stop!" Here is the envoy sent to you by Nanjing, if you come again, we will kill him on the spot!" ”
"It's a real long hair, it's a real bandit!"
"It's a messenger from Tianjing, don't make a mistake!"
There are also people who shout in the local dialect, and the words shouted are roughly the same, and the Red Turban Army on the opposite side has slowed down slightly, but it is still pressed under the leadership of several yellow flags, and it seems that the weight of this heavenly envoy from Nanjing is not enough.
"I really cut it!" The bearded man shouted, but Liu Chang had already seized the opportunity, and as soon as he slammed his waist, he slammed into the bridge of the bearded nose with a hook punch, and the bearded man was unprepared for a while, and he almost couldn't even hold the waist knife with a snort, and the whole person turned backwards.
Liu Chang followed with an elbow blow, and then a flying leg, and the bearded whole person flew out, but the waist knife in his hand fell into Liu Chang's hand, and the entire team of Qing soldiers were stunned by Liu Chang's lightning-like movements, and they couldn't see that this little bandit in front of him was such a terrible person.
They didn't have time to exclaim, Liu Chang had already fought in the Qing army with a waist knife, he had never learned knife skills, but there were hundreds of suspected friendly troops on the opposite side to suppress the formation, that is, even swinging and slashing, these dozen Qing soldiers were bold and cold, even if there were a few blunt knives in their hands, they could be hugged by Liu Chang as soon as he got close, and he cut down two or three in succession.
Several yellow flags on the opposite side waved vigorously, and hundreds of red turban soldiers pressed over with angry roars, at this time, Liu Chang was even more slashed and punched, killing one back and forth in the crowd of Qing troops, and preparing to kill another round trip, but when he turned around, he saw that more than a dozen Qing soldiers were kneeling on the ground, and their weapons were thrown to the ground: "The general spares his life!" Spare your life! ”
"My lord spared our lives, our green battalion soldiers are just mixing bowls of rice to eat, not really working for the Qing Dynasty!"
"Long-haired man, don't cut it, please!"
"Uncle Longhair, there are old and young people in my family, your knife edge is slightly relaxed, and your merit is absolutely immeasurable!"
As he was talking, a group of red turban soldiers had already killed him, and when he saw Liu Chang half covered in blood and holding a sharp waist knife, he was really murderous and majestic, and shouted a few words, but Liu Chang didn't understand what they were talking about, and it took a while before someone said: "This is a messenger sent by Tianjing?" What a man! ”
Liu Chang ignored him, but shouted: "Tie up these Manchu lackeys for me." ”
Until now, he only knew that he should have traveled to Xianfeng for four years, and calculated carefully, this should be 1854, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom entered Tianjing two years ago, and the Northern Expedition to the West came to the apex of his career, and the Shanghai Xiaodao Society and the Huaishang Twist Army took the opportunity to start an incident, which made the Manchu Qing Dynasty unable to cope.
And this year, the Crimean War was raging, and millions of troops from Britain, France, Russia and Turkey were fighting for the so-called "holy land".
However, his calculation was a bit wrong, and it was December of the fourth year of Xianfeng, and if we take the year of the Common Era, it was already January 1855 AD.
The group of red turban soldiers on the opposite side heard Liu Chang's order, and first hesitated for a while before tying up this group of green battalion soldiers according to his orders.
And at this time, a forty-year-old Kong Wuhan walked over quickly with two yellow flags, this man was very strong, he arched his hand towards Liu Chang: "Is it really a messenger sent by King Jingdong of Tianjing to contact?" ”
There was suspicion in his eyes, Liu Chang casually threw his waist knife to the ground, and asked loudly, "Who is under the feet?" ”
