Chapter 160: Persuasion (Second Shift Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Gao Liang Cai was the Taiping Zhi County in the 27th year of Daoguang, so Lu Ping, a lobbyist sent by Liu Chang, saluted as soon as he saw Gao Liang Cai: "Old County Zun, Lu Ping is polite!" ”
Gao Liangcai glanced at Lu Ping, this is an old man in his forties, who has also gone through vicissitudes, and when he is not confused, his forehead is already white: "Old Lu, it's great that you came to see me!" How has your eldest son's talent grown recently? ”
He and Lu Ping pulled the family routine: "I have passed the exam, maybe I have the opportunity to go to Hangzhou Dabi this year, let me make it clear to you, although there are many good practices in our Zhejiang Provincial Imperial Examination, but there are also many bad ones, you have to quickly set down the person who transcribed it, the worst point of our Zhejiang Imperial Examination is in the transcription!" ”
"You probably don't know, in other provinces, are all transcribed by the county study, but our Zhejiang Province is different, that is, the lifter, the scholar can go in to transcribe on behalf of others, as long as the transcription is scheduled, the color is bright, the writing is in Kai, although the volume of the palace examination, the calligraphy is just like that, and there is an art and changed to dozens of sentences, the middle and back list is issued, but try to change the volume, if you can't find the person who transcribed, the handwriting is sloppy, and even out of sentence and paragraph, the curtain official can't read it at all, how can you pass the test."
"I used to be a curtain official, and I know that there were 11,000 volumes in the province that year, and there were only 3,000 volumes of transcriptions that were not booked, but only three of the 3,000 volumes were passed, so Lao Lu, you must take this matter to heart, most of the people in the province are from the five mansions of Hangjiahu Ningshao, but is it because their literary style is more prosperous than other places? No, it's just because they can afford to book transcriptions! ”
He spoke eloquently, but he had the meaning of turning away Lu Ping, a lobbyist, Lu Ping also smiled and didn't mention his intentions: "Thank you for your concern, but my two dogs don't have much ink, and now I have let them study at home for another year." ”
Gao Liangcai naturally knew that this so-called study for another year was just an excuse, and Lu Ping's two sons must be thieves, but he didn't expose it: "Old Lu, if it weren't for the urgency of the military war, I really wanted to take advantage of this moonlight to have two drinks with you, right......"
He seemed to ask casually: "Lao Lu, you came to the door today, just ask me for two glasses of water and wine to drink, don't talk about business, right?" Quite a few words"
"Private matters should be discussed, and business affairs should also be discussed!" This Lu Ping is a little tyrant who can speak well in Taiping County, and his friendship with Gao Liangcai is also very good, Liu Chang can be regarded as finding the right person with him: "Today, Yu Gong is persuading the old county to raise righteousness before the battle, and Yu Private is paving a bright future for the old county!" ”
"You're welcome, you're welcome!" Gao Liangcai has already poured a full cup: "But Lao Lu, you are leading me to a dead end, inside and outside this Huangyan County, there are soldiers and horses in Huangyan Town, I am a Cantonese person, and I can only dispatch hundreds of Guangyong and Jiading, what to talk about before the battle, what to talk about the future of Jinxiu, when the time comes, it will become a laughing stock in the world." ”
He dried up the wine in one gulp: "Lao Lu, why don't you go and persuade you Liu Jian to recruit as soon as possible, although he is now in the city, but the soldiers are few and far between, I see that he has soldiers under the city, at most two thousand, and there are six or seven thousand soldiers in my city, and there are no less than 30,000 soldiers in Taiwan. ”
Lu Ping nodded again and again, but he said: "The old county is very right, my family checks the soldiers outside the city, and before I came, I ordered the checkpoint, saying that the soldiers are less than 4,000, if the 3,000 soldiers in Huangyan City are brave enough to fight, they will never dare to come. ”
"That's it, it's better to persuade you to check, as soon as possible to recruit an and surrender, maybe there is a bright future, far away such as Sanshun Wang Hong Chengchou will not say, the big head sheep is just a small total when he is surrendered, but he tried his best to serve my Qing Dynasty, and has been promoted to the general army in a few years, and our Guangdong hometown Buxing has brothers, and now it is also a four-grade guerrilla, if you wait for the soldiers to arrive, with your home inspection of thousands of weak brigades, it will inevitably be exhausted, and it will be too late to regret it!"
Lu Ping nodded again: "Yes, we also said in the inspection, if Kochi County is willing to return, then the location of Taizhou Mansion is his!" ”
Gao Liangcai just poured a glass of wine, and was about to raise it to Mingyue to taste it, but when he heard this, it was a hand, and the wine glass fell directly to the ground and smashed it, and the wine smashed the court clothes to the ground, and he smiled after a while: "Your house inspection is really good at empty words, how much territory does he have now?" There are six counties in Tai County, and he only owns one county in Wenling, how can he ...... it"..., but his tone was a little chaotic: "Your family inspector wants me to be Fan Yang Xu Gong, but I don't want to be Hu Yuanwei!" Hu Yuanwei has already been ruined as a thief, and there will be no good end in the future. ”
Fan Yang Xu Gong refers to the late Qin Dynasty Fan Yang Ling Xu Gong, when the military ministers entered the Zhao land, the Zhao State was shaken, and then Kuai Tong said to the military ministers that Fan Yang Ling had the intention of surrendering: "If you welcome Fan Yang Ling with the Yellow House Zhu Wheel, so that you can gallop in the suburbs of Yan Zhao, then the border cities will tell each other: 'Fan Yang Ling will go down first and be rich', and it will be the same as Hanshang Walking Pill." This minister is the so-called one who spreads the story and determines a thousand miles."
Wu Ju then rode a hundred cars, rode two hundred, and Hou Yin greeted Xu Gong. Yan and Zhao Wenzhi, who did not fight in more than 30 cities, this is also a good story.
As for Hu Yuanwei, it refers to the former Luzhou prefect Hu Yuanwei, who asked Jiang Zhongyuan's army to defend Luzhou last year, but Jiang Zhongyuan was killed in battle, and he was captured by the Taiping Army and used by the Taiping Army.
After Hu Yuanwei became a thief, Shi Lin immediately set off countless rumors, and everyone in the country said that they could be killed, and everyone hurriedly pressed all the charges of Jiang Zhongyuan's death in Luzhou on Hu Yuanwei, and some people even claimed that Hu Yuanwei had been a thief before the Taiping army attacked Luzhou.
It's just that Lu Ping still said in a deep tone: "Even if the old county doesn't plan for himself, won't he make a living for the township party!" ”
Township Party? Now in Huangyan County, there are not only the dependents of Gao Liangcai, but also many of his township party members who play the role of family members and long-term followers, and even he even hired a team of dozens of Guangyong for his own safety, most of whom are his fellow villagers in Shunde.
"Liu Checkpoint is really a good means, one will be a gentle drizzle, and the other will be a thunderous means." Gao Liangcai copied his hands back: "Good means!" ”
"If it weren't for such heroes, how could they achieve a great cause!" Lu Ping persuaded in a good voice: "The old county is now in front of the battle, and the inspection is the time to employ people. ”
"It's just a few thousand red thieves, how can it be done?" Gao Liangcai said loudly: "What's more, with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's perverse behavior in Jinling, it has lost the hearts of the world. ”
"In today's troubled times, the king is the king and the loser!" Lu Ping's voice also became louder: "What's more, although the Kingdom of Heaven is unpopular, my family's inspection point is unique, gathering the hearts of Wentai people, can achieve a great cause, and the Kingdom of Heaven is not a person, if the old county is not at ease, why not help the inspection point!" ”
Lu Ping said again: "What's more, the inspection is trained to be strong, the old county must have seen it with his own eyes in the city, such a strong army in the world, invincible, invincible, with the small city of Huangyan District, can hold each other for a few days, and please make a decision as soon as possible, don't regret it too late!" ”
"I've made up my mind!" Gao Liangcai also argued with Lu Ping: "I watched the team of your house inspection at the head of the city, although the advance and retreat are still in the art of war, but compared with the Yingyi infantry team, it is far from the Baiyi, I heard that your family inspection point is usually greedy and lustful, and he does not know the four books and five classics, and he must not be able to succeed!" ”
Lu Ping smiled: "Old County Zun, I recently read Tongjian, but I feel that my family checks and acts in all kinds of ways, just like the ancestors of Yingjie. ”
"Which of the Ancestors?"
Lu Ping replied directly: "Han Guangwu." ”
Gao Liangcai only felt that his palms were full of sweat, but he called the name of his long-term follower: "Gao Wo, you ask Mr. Lu to rest first, tomorrow the thief army is about to attack the city, you must protect Mr. Thorough." ”
Lu Ping said: "My family inspection has always been a salute before the soldiers, the king is domineering and has both, if it is time to break the city, it will inevitably use thunder means, the old county not only can't be Fan Yang Xu Gong, I'm afraid even Hu Yuanwei can't do it." ”
"Mr. Lu will go down first and have a good rest, let me think about it all night!"
It's just that after Lu Ping left, Gao Liangcai's heart was even more dispossessed, and as soon as he closed his eyes, he could recall the endless red tide outside the city, and his mind was full of blood: "This Huangyan City is the station of Huangyan Town, and there are 3,000 officers and soldiers in the city, can't you hold on for a few days?" ”
He told himself: "As long as you hold on to Liu Jiehu for two days, Fucheng will definitely send troops to come to the rescue, as well as Mu Yinan and Su Jingrong, and they will also send troops to attack the thief's flank and break his grain route." ”
"Maybe even Hu Yuanwei won't be able to do it at that time?" Gao Liangcai thought again: "Although he can't make Fan Yang Ling Xu Gong, he may not fall to the point of Hu Yuanwei?" What's more, Liu Juehu is also a king and a domineering man, in addition to thunder means, there must be a gentle wind and drizzle......"
Kochi had a sleepless night.
……
As soon as the day dawned, the soldiers at the head of the city had already exclaimed: "The red thief is going to attack the city, the red thief is going to attack the city!" ”
In front of their eyes, there was already a tense situation, and the large and small fire teams of the red thieves had been placed on the ground ready to perform, and there were dozens of them.
Don't look at the large and small artillery in Huangyan City, but most of them are light cannons made in modern times, the quality is very poor, the sub-medicine is a little more than that, there is a danger of exploding, the largest batch of heavy artillery are aimed at the muzzle, the defense of the entire Huangyan City is also focused on coastal defense than land defense, the red thief copied from behind this time, there is a danger of breaking the city at any time.
What's more, the red thieves brought bronze cannons, which are very rare good cannons in the green battalion, so the experienced green battalion soldiers are very worried about the heavy artillery bombardment of the red thieves.
Sure enough, less than a quarter of an hour later, by the morning light, the red thief's red-coated cannons and camp cannons were already filled with gunpowder and began to bombard the city wall!
Thunder of cannons!
