Chapter 29 Dynamics of the Rivers and Lakes
Wuhan is the thoroughfare of nine provinces, the goods on the wharf are piled up, and there is an endless stream of ships, and the Wuchang branch of the Red Flower Society controls a small warehouse, and there are several cargo ships, covering the eyes and ears of others by doing business; Chang's Shuangxia entered the warehouse, on the incision, the innkeeper immediately led everyone to the backyard to pay respects, from his mouth Chen Jialuo learned that the dustless Taoist and Zhang Jin have been here for several days, and are now outside to visit fellow martial artists.
After a short rest, the hearty voice of the dustless road chief sounded in the courtyard, "But the chief helmsman has arrived?" ”
"The second brother hasn't seen him for a few days, but his spirit is getting better and better!" , Chen Jialuo pushed open the door and welcomed the two of them in, "Second brother and tenth brother have worked hard all the way!" ”
The Red Flower Society is mostly a rough man, the two of them heard Chen Jialuo's concerned greetings, their hearts were warm, they wanted to express their gratitude but they were clumsy in words and didn't know what to say, and laughed twice Dustless Taoist talked about his experience during this time, "Miao Daxia was very grateful after seeing his father's body, and said that the Red Flower Society was very kind and virtuous, and if it wasn't for teaching Xiao Hu Fei to abandon his family and follow the helmsman to kill the Tartars; After three years, Xiao Hu Fei had a solid foundation and took him to the helmsman! I have one more hero in the Red Flower Society! ”
"That's great!" , Chen Jialuo high-fived and praised, and said a few words about Miao Renfeng, he asked about the recent developments in the rivers and lakes, "Second brother, the younger brother has been on the road recently, but I don't know what is the big thing on the rivers and lakes these days?" ”
Speaking of this, the face of the dustless Taoist chief became gloomy, "Hey, a few days ago, news came from Hangzhou that someone assassinated Qianlong, and soon after, Bai Zhen, the golden claw iron hook, and Xinzhu, the general of Fuzhou, led the army to burn the Putian Shaolin Temple and the Quanzhou Shaolin Temple one after another, and the two ancient temples were destroyed in one fell swoop, and the monks almost did not survive; I don't know how these two things are connected. ”
The assassination should be Tianshan Double Eagle, in the original book, they probably went to Hangzhou at this time, and Fuzhou should have played a role in their arrangement some time ago, Yu Wanting was born in Putian Shaolin Temple, before he died, in addition to telling Wen Tailai about his life experience, he also told the rainbow abbot of Putian Shaolin Temple, and at the same time stored some evidence in Putian Shaolin Temple, this fire is down except for Qianlong, I'm afraid no one will know his life experience, right? Chen Jialuo pretended to be concerned and asked, "Isn't it because my father-in-law was born in Shaolin Temple in Putian?" But what does this have to do with Quanzhou Shaolin Temple? Even he couldn't guess that Quanzhou Shaolin Temple was just because Bai Zhen didn't ask for the holy decree and suffered an unwarranted disaster.
"Hmph, Tartars are fierce by nature, and they need a reason to kill people and set fires!" , The Dustless Daoist said indignantly, "The monks have always had no quarrel with the world, and that will provoke the Tartars?" During the Yongzheng period, Songshan Shaolin was burned by a fire, and now it is the turn of South Shaolin, and the Tartars are going to kill all the people in my martial arts! ”
"Tell me to go down, let the brothers in Fujian pay more attention, and if you encounter monks and lay disciples who are lucky enough to escape, send them to a safe place as soon as possible!" , Since they are all about the same, Chen Jialuo is also happy to buy people's hearts and brush up the prestige of martial arts.
"Well, after I heard the news, I flew the pigeon and passed the Fujian rudder to ask them to help! However, it is said that some people have seen the first Tianjing Zen Master of the Dharma Academy after the burning of the Shaolin Temple in Putian, and they don't know whether it is true or not; In addition, several disciples of the Su family also escaped from the Shaolin Temple in Quanzhou, and it is said that they went to Guangdong! ", the chief of the dust-free road reported.
What the! There were still people who escaped, Chen Jialuo's heart tightened, but he regained his calm in an instant, even if someone came out with evidence, the first thing to look for was himself, he just needed to wait for the fish to take the bait; "But I don't know where Ma Hero is, what's going on now?" , Putting Shaolin's advance aside, Chen Jialuo asked about Ma Chaozhu's recent situation.
"Ma Hero is making such a big move now! Now more than 100,000 horses have been gathered and are attacking the seal! The Shaanxi-Gansu-Gansu Green Battalion of the Tartars fought fiercely in the northwest, and only the Kaifeng Garrison Eight Banners and the Henan Green Battalion remained in Henan Province; Kaifeng garrison eight banners but seven hundred and sixty horsemen, although the Henan green battalion said that the quota of 10,000 people, but the generals eat more empty salary, it would be good to have six or seven thousand, and garrisoned all over the place, Kaifeng City at most 2,000 people, besides, the green battalion has long been corrupted, unbearable to fight, the fall of Kaifeng is just around the corner! The eyebrows of the dustless Taoist said, and he couldn't wait to go to Kaifeng to fight in person.
Hearing this, Chen Jialuo's face was not happy, if Ma Chaozhu did not capture Kaifeng, and transferred from the Yifeng Hall to the Guide Mansion, the Guide Mansion is located at the junction of Henan, Shandong, and Jiangsu provinces, the land is barren, the people are fierce, and the government control is weak, and a large number of people can be quickly pulled up; On the other hand, Kaifeng, although Kaifeng is easy to attack and difficult to defend since ancient times, but there is a perfect city wall, relying on those hungry people under him is not a moment and a half will be able to fight, after a long time, the momentum of the hungry people will be discharged, and then spend a period of time reinforcements from other places should arrive, this Kaifeng city is estimated to be the burial place of Ma Chaozhu; Hey, now Ma Chaozhu is estimated to be on the rise, and there are eight banners stationed in Kaifeng City, Ma Chaozhu's purpose in this incident is to avenge his family, even if he tries to persuade him to turn to Defu, he will not listen!
But just watching him die like this is not in line with Chen Jialuo's strategic plan, "Hey, Ma Yingying is going to attack and open the seal, this is the next strategy in the next policy!" Chen Jialuo dipped his fingers in tea and drew a map on the desktop to say what he had just thought, "I think it won't be long before Ma Yingxing will be surrounded by reinforcements from all over Kaifeng City!" ”
"This", the Dustless Dao Leader and the others were dumbfounded when they heard this, and the Chang Clan Shuangxia stood up, "Chief Helmsman, let's go to Kaifeng and relay your words to Ma Yingxing!" ”
Chen Jialuo waved his hand, "In this situation, he categorically can't listen to it, besides, how can there be a turning back arrow when he opens the bow, now more than 100,000 disaster victims are pointing to be able to enter Kaifeng to fill their stomachs, even if he turns to Guide Mansion now, not many people will follow him!" ”
"So the hero of Laima is in danger this time?" , everyone couldn't help but be pessimistic.
"Not really! As long as his descendants are still around, everything will still have a turnaround! As long as you don't put your old book together, you can quickly pull up a group of people and horses when you escape from the encirclement and run to other places, this is what the Liukou at the end of the Ming Dynasty did, although people are now determined, but now the Yellow River is flooding, and there are more people on both sides of the river who can't go on! As long as he doesn't have a hard fight with the officers and soldiers, it is not impossible for Ma Chaozhu to hold on for a while longer, "Ma Yingying can at least hold out for a while, and then we should also come back from the northwest, and he should be able to listen to us when there is no way out." ”
Well, the number of garrison eight banners comes from the "Kaifeng Garrison Eight Banners Preliminary Study", and the green camp data comes from the "Green Battalion Battalion System", who wants detailed information in this regard, please give me a copy.
