Chapter 121: After Death

"Liu Juehu?" Qinglian kindled a glimmer of hope again: "If this thief doesn't come to attack Wenzhou Mansion, maybe this mansion city may have three or five points of hope to be preserved." ”

He had personally experienced the bravery of Liu Jiehu's dragon spear whistle, and knew that the dragon spear whistle played a mainstay role in the Red Turban Army, and Ye Bingzhong told him: "According to the reports of the Zatan and the Yueqing Ruian gentry, now Qu Zhenhai and Liu Jiehu are two bandits, each relying on force, and there are conflicts from time to time......

"The Qu bandits attacked Ruian for two days, and the casualties were very heavy and could not advance, and the Liu thieves attacked Ruian at night, and obtained the gold and silver property of the whole city, and kept the Qu bandits out of the city for 12 days, during which there was almost a fire, and then the Qu thieves wanted to use the willow thieves to go south to northern Fujian, but the Liu thieves refused......"

"Now the willow thieves are really long-haired, and thousands of newly attached bandits and thieves cross the river to the north, entrenched in the area of Panshi Village, and stand out from the crowd, and do not listen to the orders of the thieves, and the two thieves are bound to become fire and water......

"He Fu's previous letter, repeatedly mentioned that he wanted to suppress and pacify the parallel, and now the two thieves are not in harmony, so he just took the opportunity to send a messenger to appease the two thieves, and wait for the two thieves to merge, maybe the Wen Mansion has a glimmer of life."

It's just that Qinglian listened to Ye Bingzhong's report, but he sighed: "I heard that military affairs should not be asked by ordinary white-faced scholars, and from today's point of view, they should not be asked by ordinary martial artists......"

Ye Bingzhong knew that what Qing Lian said was not a good thing, so he quickly lowered his head, and Qing Lian continued: "This is just a drop in the bucket, a small measure that does not save the emergency, it will not be a big deal, but it is okay, if Liu Juehu does not come to attack Fucheng, how can I, as a Manchurian slave, live a few more days." ”

As he was talking, someone shouted: "Eight hundred miles urgent, eight hundred miles urgent!" Zhejiang salt transport envoy Qinglian, Wen Dao Yu Shufeng, Wenzhou Town Chief Soldier Ye Bingzhong obeyed the order! ”

Qing Lian had already taken off his crown, and sighed again: "I don't know if I haven't had the opportunity to wear this flower feather today!" ”

The tone of this edict was very stern: "Check that the three members are important ministers of the province and county, but they have lost their cities and lost their lands. Repeated defeats, losses and generals, since the dynasty was established, there have been such heavy setbacks from the end, the crime is unforgivable, Qinglian as a Manchurian servant, the world is favored by the country, especially should be dealt with strictly! ”

I just listened to this edict. However, it is: "Take off the guilty minister Qinglian and wear the flower feather, that is, he will be dismissed, and he will wear the crime for self-efficacy, so as to atone for his previous sorrows." If you don't know how to exert yourself, you will be severely punished according to the law. We will never forgive loans. ”

As for Yu Shufeng and Ye Bingzhong's punishments are relatively lighter than Qinglian's, they are both "dismissed and retained, demoted to the sixth grade, and fined for one year", but in response to Qinglian's previous statement, compared with the clouds all over the city, such a punishment can simply be celebrated.

It's just after listening to the edict. Qing Lian thanked him first, and then a line of tears flowed down, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

Yu Shufeng and Ye Bingzhong also knew that this meant that they should be guilty and meritorious in front of the army, and they were relatively speechless until Yu Shufeng was excited by a good news.

"Yunji!" He bowed to Qinglian: "Yun Si, just now my long entourage has brought a piece of good news, the chief soldier Niu Deshun has led the soldiers from Taiping south to Yueqing, and the soldiers have entered the red thief's lair." Things may turn around. ”

"Niu Deshun? How can a nobody-led soldier resist a peerless thief like Liu Jiehu? The fall of the county is only a matter of time. Qing Lian woke up from his sluggishness, and he patted Yu Shufeng: "Yu Dao, Qing Lian has an unfinished matter that he wants to entrust!" ”

"Yun Si, please speak!" Yu Shufeng immediately agreed: "Please Yun Si command." ”

"Yu Dao, you are Wen Dao, and the state is also your jurisdiction. You don't have to stay in the city to die with me and Ye Zhentai, I will repair a letter and let you go to the state capital immediately to bring reinforcements. ”

What kindness this is, Yu Shufeng could only bow his hand again and again: "Yun Si, Yun Si." Why bother, why bother, Yu is willing to live and die with Wenzhou City! ”

He was speechless, Qing Lian just shook his hand: "Yu Dao, you are a fame that you have earned after twenty or thirty years of hard study, and it took ten years to get a Jinshi background, which is different from us and Ye Zhentai's two minions!" ”

Generally speaking, the Manchu people can call themselves slaves, and the Han officials cannot call themselves slaves, but the Han military attachΓ©s are exceptions, even if they are promoted to the position of the governor of a province, they have to call themselves slaves, otherwise it is the wrath of thunder.

Yu Shufeng is a civil official, so naturally he doesn't need to be called a slave, Qinglian continued: "The aftermath of our two minions will be entrusted to Yu Dao you!" ”

Yu Shufeng immediately agreed: "Don't worry, Yunsi, the wife, children and mother at home have been entrusted to Shufeng." ”

Qing Lian could see it, he smiled and said: "I am Manchuria with a blue flag, as long as my Qing Dynasty does not fall, there will always be their share of the hardcore crops, and the worst thing is to pull my sons out to serve as Xidan, if the Qing Dynasty falls, what ability can Yu Dao have to protect my family for me, I think about it day and night, and I am thinking about another posthumous matter." ”

"Yun Si, please speak!"

Qinglian's expression became serious: "Yu Dao, I am Manchuria with a blue flag, the supervisor has obtained the cabinet book, the title is promoted to the waiter, the imperial history is escorted, the name is recorded, and the National History Museum is promoted, Daoguang is the first class in Beijing in the twenty-third year, and the Wenchu Dao in Zhejiang is simply put in Zhejiang, and the twenty-eighth year is rewarded with Hualing, presumably Yu Dao, you are also very clear about this matter." ”

Yu Shufeng responded, and Qing Lian continued: "But there are always people who say that I am a Zhengbai Banner, a Jinshi background, and I am unbearable, Yu Dao, do you know why?" ”

Yu Shufeng has indeed heard such rumors, and even rumored that Qinglian was a Jinshi by relying on fraud in the field of science, as for the difference between the blue flag and the white flag, Yu Shufeng thought that Qinglian either lowered the flag from the white flag to the blue flag, or raised the flag from the blue flag to the white flag.

Now Qinglian has appeared to say that this rumor is related to a fraud in the imperial examination in the sixteenth year of Daoguang, and in May of that year, when Emperor Daoguang summoned the new branch jinshi, he found that there was a white flag Manchurian jinshi Qinglian, who was crippled and walked very hard. Since the Qing Dynasty imperial examination recruited flag bearers with the heaviest bow horses, the children of the Eight Banners must first pass the examination before entering the field, which is an indispensable rule. And Qinglian has a disability, how can he take the Ma Bujian exam?

Therefore, Daoguang ordered to investigate the responsibility of the Ministry of War to supervise the shooting of the Minister Wang, and personally looked at the Qing Dynasty Huidian and the Central Political Examination submitted by the Ministry of War, which stipulated that the children of the Eight Banners should take the examination if they had "hand disease" or "hand crutch" can be exempted from the examination of the bow horse, but Qing Lian was like a cripple, not only because of the hand disease, so he reprimanded the Minister Wang who supervised the examination of the bow horse for not being serious, favoring personal feelings, and strictly discussing, but Qing Lian still returned to Banquan according to the previous order.

But soon, there were members of the Imperial History Counselor Military Department who handled the exam and were confused, and the inside story of Qinglian's ability to take the exam was exposed. It turned out that Qing Lian tried to participate in the examination in the eleventh year of Daoguang, and was refuted by the Minister of Prison, and in the sixteenth year, his uncle Rongen, a member of the military department, communicated with others and cheated in order for his nephew to participate in the exam, and passed the test in confusion, but was unexpectedly recognized by Daoguang when he was introduced.

This fraud case suddenly became a big problem, and Emperor Daoguang was furious, on the one hand, he rewarded the minister of supervision who rejected Qinglian's examination last time, and dismissed the minister of supervision, Rong En, and other responsible persons for cheating in the contract, and Qinglian was also dismissed from Jinshi at the same time.

But Qinglian told Yu Shufeng that he and the sixteenth-year-old Qinglian of Daoguang only have the same name: "That Qinglian is the grandson of Na Yancheng, and he is just the same name as me, and has nothing to do with it at all, but in the past twenty years, I have been disturbed all the time, saying that I was born in the White Banner of Manchuria and was born as a Jinshi who was mixed with fraud in the scientific field......"

"I have decided to live and die with Wen County, my wife and children have their own state pensions, and I don't need to worry about Yu Dao, but this rumor hurt me a lot before I was born, and recently a friend sued me, when compiling the Xuanlu record, the case of Daoguang's sixteenth year was also recorded, and many people who didn't know saw that they were pointing fingers at me."

"I'm only afraid that a hundred years later, others will only say that I Qinglian is from a Zhengbaiqi Jinshi, and if I look at the actual record of Xuanlu, I won't be able to keep this posthumous name, so I can only entrust this case to Yu Dao!"

Yu Shufeng was grateful for Qinglian's great kindness, and immediately: "Yun Si rest assured, Yu Shufeng will definitely do this well." ”

Qing Lian waved his sleeves, but he was much more open-minded: "I only have such an unfinished matter, what else does Zhentai need to entrust to Yu Dao?" ”

……

Huo Qiu asked with a wry smile: "Qu Zhenhan is so ruthless, regardless of his two sons, he will take down the city with one heart!" Should we move? ”

Qu Jie next to him was also saying: "My two brothers from my own family, the Qing Demon Niu Deshun just dispatched a little forward, and they cried and shouted, lest they miss." ”

He knew how many skills Qu Zhenhan's two sons had in their stomachs, and it was indeed a little powerless for them to defend the red turban army in Yueqing, but Liu Chang asked one thing: "Is Vice Marshal Yongjia Ni so moving?" ”

Huo Qiu replied: "Shuai Qu wants to transfer all the soldiers of Deputy Marshal Ni to the south of the Yangtze River, and they will attack the capital of Wenzhou together, but Vice Marshal Ni was transferred away last time, and Hu Zuolong's two battalion leaders are already a little dissatisfied, and now they are absolutely unwilling to be a bare-bones commander." ”

Now it is a busy scene in the Panshi Village, the newly built units have just been formed, the officers and soldiers are not familiar with each other enough, and the recruits are only conducting the most basic queue training, and they have not even conducted a single live firing.

This Niu Deshun went south to Yueqing, but he picked a good time, so Qu Jie was a little inclined to the two brothers: "Check, shouldn't we move!"

Although the newly built units cannot be transferred, it should not be a problem for the Hong Army to dispatch two or three sentry posts equipped with foreign guns, and Liu Chang also had to consider the stakes, he asked: "How many troops did Niu Deshun send south?" How is the combat effectiveness? ”

Huo Qiu replied first: "Niu Deshun's department, known as 7,000, actually has less than 2,000 troops, and has left a unit in Taiping, as for its combat strength, at least I haven't heard of such a general, I think it should be a nobody, right?" ”

"That's the case!" Liu Chang thought for a while: "Send a letter to the two young marshals Qu, if they can lure the fat cow Niu Deshun over, we don't mind training with battle and joining forces with Vice Marshal Ni once." ”
