"We have been suffering in Huangyan for a long time, and we have been suppressed by Huangyan every day, and we have finally tasted some sweetness!"

Gao Liangcai, the county magistrate of Huangyan, carried a lantern and patrolled the city tower, and mocked himself in the face of the criminal master and the master Tiegu: "As long as Chen Zhentai doesn't want to be like Li Shoumo in Taiping County, just leave me, the county master, and abandon the city!" ”

He said that he was indeed telling the truth, he was just a seven-grade small county, and the general soldier of Huangyan Town was a second-grade officer, and his Xiezhen, Shenrong, and Dulan grades were not much higher than their own seven-grade officials, although it was said that the civil and military were divided, but Huangyan Town was within this county, how could the soldiers and civilians in peacetime not have some collisions, and in the end, Gao Liangcai could often only send his face up and give these green camp masters another slap, to put it mildly, his biggest role in Huangyan Zhixian was to try to improve the relationship with Huangyan Town.

Although compared with the two counties in Zhejiang, Taizhou Linhai is stronger than attached to Guo County, but Gao Liangcai can be described as angry in Huangyan, and today he finally has a little eyebrows: "But I think Chen Zhentai's station is in our Huangyan, and he can't leave his station to return to Jinling, right?" ”

Gao Liangcai said this, the two masters also smiled, among many masters, the name of the sentence and Qian Gu are the two most critical and oily, although Gao Liangcai uses Shaoxing people, but these two masters have been selected by themselves for many years, and they can be trusted.

The master of the criminal name glanced at the city, the red thief camp under the city was blazing, and he followed Gao Liangcai's tone and said: "If the proprietor guards Huangyan County this time, how can it be a liter, these ten years have been up and down in the sea, and he has always broken through the layer of Zhixian, and today the red thieves are attacking." But it is a great time for the proprietor to soar into the sky. ”

"A good time?" Gao Liangcai personally walked in front with a lantern, followed by two masters, and then a team of family members he brought from Shunde: "How easy it is!" Criminal friend, whether we can overcome this difficulty can only ask God to bless! ”

"Mu Yinan didn't promise to respond to guerrilla attacks in the county, hitting the thieves' flanks and grain roads!" Master Xingming is a veteran of officialdom: "The adult has always taken care of him." Could it be that he will break his promise and become fat! ”

The night breeze blew a little chill from the sorghum: "If you want to save people, you have to save yourself, and now this Huangyan City is going to crush the city, and it is as dangerous as a tired egg, so you have to work hard and do your best!" ”

"Kochi Prefecture is very right!" A bold voice blew through the night breeze: "Huangyan County is in danger right now, you and I have to work hard and do our best!" ”

Kochi Prefecture stopped and handed the lantern to the criminal master. Gong Shou said: "Gao Liangcai has seen Chen Zhentai, does Zhentai have a thief strategy now?" ”

It was Chen Shizhong, the chief soldier of Huangyan Town, who came in front of him, and he shook his hand and said, "What else?" Do your best, let it be the fate of heaven! Lao Tzu rode thousands of miles to take office, but he didn't expect to encounter the situation in front of him as soon as he took office, and now he can't go, he can't retreat, he can only fight to the death. ”

He was the commander-in-chief of Huangyan Town, who was appointed by Xianfeng for four years. It's just that he has always led the Zhoushan Water Division to fight against the Taiping Army ship division near Tianjing, and has never been to Huangyan City to take office. Let him, the general soldier of Huangyan, rush back to Huangyan from the Jiangnan camp to take office, but the war near Tianjing is even more urgent, and he refuses to transfer the Taizhou Navy Division transferred to the vicinity of Tianjing back to Taizhou, the result is good, Chen Shizhong can only bring a few personal soldiers and family members back to Huangyan Town, but less than ten days after taking office, the red thieves went all the way north, and the entire Huangyan County was surrounded by water.

So he complained a lot: "Kochi Prefecture." We are new officials, and we don't know anything about the real situation in Huangyan County, and everything has to be subdued by the magistrate, especially the soldiers' brave food and salary, and the magistrate must come forward, otherwise if the brothers under him make trouble, you and I can't afford to bear it. ”

He was originally a well-known whiner basket. In history, he was dismissed countless times because of complaints, but Gao Liangcai was not much better than him, and after more than ten years of grinding down the county, he didn't know how much anger he had stored in his stomach, so he immediately went back: "The whole Taiwan defense." It's all planned by Zhentai, and I'm just a little seven-rank official. How dare you rise above the town! ”

Chen Shizhong raised his head and glanced at Gao Liangcai carefully, but said: "The county is so courageous, but this matter of food and salary reward must be brought forward by the county honor." Gao Liangcai was not polite, he flicked his long sleeves, and immediately sneered: "Don't dare to be!" The division of civil and military affairs, as long as you take care of what you should manage, this Huangyan County will be as stable as Mount Tai! ”

Chen Shizhong calmed down, and he arched towards Gao Liangcai: "It's really important for defense, how can the brothers below have to make a few money, otherwise how can they defend the city for you and me!" Trouble the county to get hundreds of thousands! ”

The requirements for hundreds of times are not high, but Gao Liangcai agreed: "Okay! However, the defense of Huangyan is all handed over to Chen Zhentai! When my brother saw the lineup of red thieves today, he already had no master in his heart, and he didn't know how to deal with it! ”

Chen Shizhong agreed: "I have also seen the lineup of the red thief, although there are not many soldiers, but the lineup is neat, it seems to be better than the real long hair near Tianjing!" ”

He has been fighting with the Taiping Army's boat division near Tianjing for the past two years, and has made quite a success, I thought that the Taiping Army was already the world's first-class thief, but today I saw the Red Turban Thief outside the city to set up a very orderly formation, everything is in order, at this point and the Taiping Army can be said to be neck and neck or even win, although I don't know how the actual combat power is, but the Red Turban Army can break through the county and make southern Zhejiang erosive, this red thief is known as the most fierce Liu Jue Hu among the thieves, and the combat effectiveness will never be weak.

Gao Liangcai glanced at Chen Shizhong lightly, and said in his mouth: "What is the long hair, this red thief is camping, which makes me feel something, and my heart is very uncertain......"

"How does the county know how to feel the law?" Chen Shizhong didn't think that a little magistrate would have seen any big scenes: "I thought of something that a thief couldn't do!" ”

"It's the Yingyi Infantry Team!" Gao Liangcai clinged to the battlement wall, looking down at the scattered rainbow army camps under the head of the city, and looking at the countless torches: "It's Yingyi!" ”

Chen Shizhong was taken aback: "Kochi County is from Guangdong, but have you seen the Yingyi Infantry Team?" When Yingyi came to attack, Shizhong was still young at that time, and he only heard that the British firearms were sharp, and our army was defeated in the north and south one after another, but he had never seen Yingyi's true face. ”

The criminal master preemptively said: "Chen Zhentai, the proprietor of my family once fought with Yingyi in Sanyuanli, and led the regiment to bravely break the Yingyi infantry team, and he was ...... because of his merits."

Gao Liangcai shook his head with a smug look at the corners of his mouth: "My friend went too far, the crowd was angry at that time, I was just attached to the tail, and I was lucky enough to make a little contribution, and I was appreciated by the emperor, so I was promoted." ”

It's just that when he speaks, he can't hide that trace of pride, which is the most proud thing in his life.

He turned out to be just an ordinary prisoner in the countryside, no different from Qu Zhenhan, a sauce garden shopkeeper, the British army invaded Guangzhou, as a country gentleman, he resolutely rose up together to fight against the British army, and defeated the British army near Sanyuanli, which is one of the rare highlights of the entire Opium War in China.

Afterwards, because of his meritorious deeds, he was distributed to Zhejiang as the magistrate, which can be regarded as a success, but because he has no meritorious fame, he has been up and down in the sea for more than ten years, and he has always been just a seven-grade magistrate, and he can't go further.

However, the reintroduction of this old incident made Chen Shizhong inexplicably nervous: "Yingyi? The Red Thief can be compared to the Yingyi Infantry Team? ”

Gao Liangcai appeased Chen Shizhong: "Zhentai is too worried, today I am in the city to watch the situation among the thieves, carefully observe the advance and retreat of the red thieves, although there is a faint demeanor of the Yingyi infantry team, but it is not as good as Yingyi Eleven." ”

Chen Shizhong was a little relieved, he knew that the Yingyi infantry team was extremely strong, and it was much more brave than the soldiers of the national dynasty: "That's okay, that's okay." ”

It's just that Gao Liangcai continued: "The Red Thief Infantry Team, although the elite is not as good as Yingyi Eleven, but the firearms are still sharp, only slightly inferior to Yingyi, and dozens of cannons have been brought with them, and Zhentai must not be underestimated." ”

There was still a sentence in his heart that he didn't say: "The Red Thief Infantry, although the elite is not as good as Yingyi Eleven, but it is a hundred times braver than the soldiers of the National Dynasty. ”

"I'm not afraid of a sharp firearm!" Chen Shizhong was a lot relieved: "The county respects and looks at the means of the town, and the thieves are under Huangyan City, and you and I will be able to rise to the top when the time comes." ”

But with Chen Shizhong's encounter at the head of the city, Gao Liangcai's interest in patrolling the city faded a lot, and he took the lantern and went down to the city tower and returned to the county office.

It was only when he entered the county office that he trusted the most that he trusted the long-term entourage asked the two masters to take people to avoid it temporarily, and came over with his ear: "The proprietor, Taiping County sent someone over!" ”

The history of Gao Liangcai has a deep relationship with Taiping County, he served as the governor of Taiping County in the twenty-seventh year of Daoguang, so he has a lot of connections in Taiping County, this time the red thieves invaded Taiping County, his connections are still there, so he knows a lot about the real situation in Taiping County and the Red Turban Army.

It's just that he knew that if Taiping County was an ordinary person, he would definitely not let his nephew be so excited, so he lowered his voice and asked, "Is it for the red thief to be a lobbyist?" ”

Chang Sui was his confidant, and immediately asked, "Do you see it?" ”

"Nope! I don't want to be Hu Yuanwei! Gao Liangcai copied his hands behind his back: "Hu Yuanwei has been ruined, there will be no good results in the future, I was appreciated by the emperor, how can I do something with thieves, Liu Jiehu is wrong about my sorghum!" He can't attack Huangyan City, let alone attack my sorghum material's heart defense! ”

The chief immediately said, "That's good! I'll send him out of town!" If you want to leave the city again tomorrow, you won't be able to leave! ”

Gao Liangcai's heart immediately echoed the words of Chang Sui: "If you want to go out of the city tomorrow, you won't be able to leave!" ”

The appearance of the red turban thieves he saw in the afternoon reappeared in his mind, and when he thought of these red turban thieves, he remembered Yingyi's infantry team, not to mention a small city like Huangyan County at that time, it was a strong city like Xiamen and Zhenjiang, and it was as easy as a snap of the British to break it.

He paced two steps, but turned back sharply: "No matter what, I was also a parent official in Taiping County, so it's good to see the people of the past!" Let me listen, how fanciful will Liu Jiehu say? (To be continued.) )
