The "Ming Wu Army" under Ji Qingwen's headquarters moved extremely quickly, and there were companions who had been ambushed in the "Jade Courtyard" in advance to shoot and cover, so it didn't take much effort to retreat into the building.

The guests who were looking for fun in the "Jade Courtyard" had already run away, leaving only Ma Xianglan, who "could run the monk and couldn't run the temple", with a group of fireworks women with heavy makeup and bright makeup, huddled in the corner of the atrium, frightened and afraid to move.

As soon as they entered the building, they blocked the front and back doors with tables, chairs and benches in the atrium, and then stood in the wall and stretched out the muskets out of the window, so that they could shoot at the opponent as soon as Ji Qingwen gave an order.

That Xu Daoqing is not a brave man, seeing that the opponent has already mastered the favorable terrain in a moment, and has the advantage of firearms, just relying on these few people under his hands, even if he fights and kills them all, he may not be able to break through the opponent's defense line.

Therefore, Xu Daoqing shouted, and the first one retreated, and the miners he led also retreated.

Xu Hongru saw that Xu Daoqing retreated like this, although he was disappointed, he also had some understanding, and said: "Daoqing, Ji Qingwen, this kid now has soldiers and horses in his hands, it is even more difficult to deal with, I don't know what you can do?" ”

Xu Daoqing only followed Xu Hongru halfway, knowing that he didn't have much weight in front of this White Lotus Sect Master, and now that he was out of this problem, he naturally had to work hard to solve it.

So Xu Daoqing lowered his head and pondered for a while, and said: "There's no way, sect leader, please do the medicine, I will lead hundreds of bold brothers to rush over, I am not afraid that I will not be able to kill and enter the building!" ”

Xu Hongru nodded, and immediately called the two cronies around him, and fetched a bucket of water in the Qinhuai River with the aroma of fat powder, and pretended to be ghostly around the bucket of water several times, and didn't know what to say, suddenly raised his voice and shouted: "Bah! It's done! Sincere brothers come and drink this water, and you will naturally prolong your life and be invulnerable! ”

As soon as the words fell, two or three hundred White Lotus Sect believers gathered over, drank a sip of water in the bucket with great reverence, and immediately felt that their bodies were filled with magical power, as if they really had the magical powers of the White Lotus Sect Mingzun.

Xu Daoqing also came over to take a sip of water, and shouted: "Brothers, follow me!" Mingzun descends to earth, invulnerable! Mingzun descends to earth, invulnerable! ”

The White Lotus Sect who drank the water also shouted a slogan: "Mingzun descends to earth, invulnerable!" Mingzun descends to earth, invulnerable! ”

This group of people was obviously convinced of the magic of the White Lotus Sect's "Holy Water", and while shouting slogans, they slowly pressed towards the door of the "Jade Courtyard" unscrupulously.

This kind of no

The appearance of fear of death really has a rare momentum, and the soldiers of the "Ming Wu Army" under the command of Ji Qingwen who have fought with the incomparably brave Manchurian Eight Banners were all so stunned that they forgot to shoot.

Even Li Yan, a believer in Confucius and Mencius, was a little suspicious and asked, "Brother Ji, are you really invulnerable when you say these people?" ”

"!" Ji Qingwen is also a thorough materialist, and naturally he will not believe in the tricks of this kind of cult, and immediately denied it, "What kind of invulnerability, pure fart." I don't talk much, we have so many muskets under our hands, don't you know how many shots we fired? ”

Not only Li Yan, but even Zhou Xiuying, who was beside Xu Hongru, asked in a low voice: "Daddy, after drinking your holy water, can you really be invulnerable?" ”

The muscles on Xu Hongru's cheeks twitched, and he said, "Of course it's fake." If drinking water is useful, why bother to practice martial arts and raise military salaries? Carrying a pot of water, rushed directly into the palace, and killed the emperor, wouldn't it be okay? ”

Zhou Xiuying didn't expect Xu Hongru to say so unkindly, frowned, and said in a low voice: "Then aren't these people going to die?" What if they find out that the holy water is useless? ”

Before Zhou Xiuying's words fell, she suddenly heard a dense burst of gunfire in front of her, followed by the painful cries of the White Lotus Sect members falling to the ground.

Seeing this, Ji Qingwen shouted excitedly and proudly: "You can see it, the tricks and tricks of the White Lotus Sect can't even be talked about, it's just a trick to deceive fools and stupid women!" ”

Li Yan beside him was also very happy, and flattered: "It's still Brother Ji who is knowledgeable and can see the door at a glance." ”

Li Yuanyin on the other side also said: "My lord, since this is the case, then we can take this opportunity to step up the attack and annihilate those White Lotus Sect bandits on the opposite side in one fell swoop!" ”

Ji Qingwen said: "There are many people on the other side, and somehow, they seem to have another organization besides the White Lotus Sect Xu Hongru, I'm afraid they can't be underestimated." It's not easy for us to protect ourselves here. ”

Unexpectedly, Li Yuanyin nodded a few times and said, "What Master Ji expected is not bad at all. I also ran an errand for Jinyiwei in Nanjing City, if I expected it to be good, in addition to the White Lotus Sect Xu Hongru, it seems that there are also the forces of the Mine Gang, the Salt Gang, the Cao Gang, and the Fishing Gang. These gangs are deeply entrenched and their members are very stable, and if we don't cut through the mess quickly, I'm afraid things will get bigger and bigger......"

Hearing this, Ji Qingwen realized what his strange thought before was-

It turned out that Ji Qingwen had already distinguished his own from the clothes on their bodies and the tools in their hands

Identity and occupation. According to this difference in identity and occupation, they each formed their own camp, this kind of behavior, in ancient times, can be called various "gangs", but if integrated into the modern concept, these "gangs" are not the so-called "guilds"?

And depending on the identity of these people, they are either craftsmen, miners, or construction workers, and even those who are engaged in food production are mostly fishermen with fishing nets and chefs with kitchen knives, and they have been detached from basic agricultural production.

Therefore, it can be concluded that these White Lotus Sectists who suddenly gathered in front of Ji Qingwen were actually urban poor people who were making a living in the big city of Nanjing. These people are like flies, mice, and sparrows, inconspicuous in Nanjing, the land of smoke and powder of the Six Dynasties, but they are indispensable for a moment.

As stated in the history textbooks, Chinese history developed to the end of the Ming Dynasty, and finally the so-called "capitalist germ" appeared, and a group of "capitalists" and the prototype of the "bourgeoisie" composed of these people gradually appeared. And as predicted by Marx and Engels, the "bourgeoisie" was born at the same time as it created its own gravedigger - the "proletarian working people"!

Aren't the people who appear in front of you the so-called "proletarian" laborers?

After Ji Qingwen himself traveled to the end of the Ming Dynasty, although he more or less took advantage of the monopoly position of the Ming Dynasty, his main way to make money was to organize silk production and get involved in overseas trade, and he was actually an out-and-out "capitalist"!

When these two thoughts were combined and appeared in Ji Qingwen's mind, the impact on him was not inferior to that of appearing in front of him one by one - Emperor Chongzhen, Sun Chengzong, Yuan Chonghuan, Wei Zhongxian, Qian Qianyi, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, Huang Taiji, Aobai, etc. - these influential figures......

"Could it be that these guys in front of you, who have been bewitched by the absurd nonsense of the White Lotus Sect, will they become their own 'gravediggers' in the future?" Ji Qingwen was thinking about this question.

Just as he was thinking wildly, Li Yan beside him reminded loudly: "Brother Ji, Brother Ji!" What are you doing? Those stupid people in the White Lotus Sect have all been repelled by us! ”

As if he had woken up from a dream, Ji Qingwen raised his eyes to look outside, and sure enough, he saw that the White Lotus Sect believers, who were still vigorous and full of confidence, had already been beaten to pieces under the merciless blow of the musket, and were dragging their injured companions back and retreating.

Seeing this, Ji Qingwen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay...... Ok......"

Li Yan frowned and said, "Brother Ji, it's not time to rejoice!" The brothers came out in a hurry, they didn't have many bullets and gunpowder, and now half of them are gone! ”
