Chapter 645: Sweet and Bitter Thoughts
On behalf of the Tianjin flag people came back to meet Zeng Guoquan's Manchurian called Shiqing, Guerjia, Zhengbai Banner people, when the Wu army broke through the capital, his house was affected by the war, and was burned to the ground, forcing him to only rely on the same Manchurian father-in-law's house, and forced him to make a living on the overpass to say cross talk and pull erhu to make a living, although the eloquence is good and the business is sloppy, but the days are far less moist than when eating hardcore crops, so he quietly hates Wu Jun to the bone, I don't know how many times he cursed Wu Chaoyue behind his back for early death and Zeng Guoquan cut off his children and grandchildren, After Wu Jun posted a post to encourage the banner people to leave the capital, Shiqing signed up on the same day, and on the same day, he received the relief food distributed by Wu Jun and took his wife and son out of the city, and was one of the first Eight Banner Manchurians to leave the capital.
After leaving the city, because he had never been out of the far road and was unfamiliar, Shiqing refused the kindness of several of his fellow clans to invite him to return to his hometown in the northeast, and chose to go east to join the Qing army in Tianjin, wanting to temporarily gain a foothold in Tianjin City, waiting for the Qing army to take back the capital, and once dreamed of joining the Qing army and the people of the same clan to fight back to the capital to settle accounts with Wu Jun, revenge for the burning of his house, and the hatred of Xue himself for surviving on the flyover. However......
However, Shiqing soon found that he was too naΓ―ve, he had just entered the defense area of the Qing army in Tianjin with his family, and was immediately forcibly searched by the king in his mind, and even his wife did not escape such a fate, and then, several valuable things that he had managed to rescue when his house was burned down were soon gone, and most of the relief food he received from Wu Jun was also missing. Shiqing and his wife pulled the Qing soldiers to theorize, but in exchange for the butts of the guns that the Qing soldiers brutally smashed, and the Qing soldiers scolded, "Raised by bitches, the old men put their heads on the belts of their pants to fight Wu thieves for you, shouldn't they eat you and take your points?" β
"I'm the flag man! The white flag Guarja clan! I'm going to sue you at the Zongren's Mansion! I'm going to go to King Gong to complain! β
Shi Qing covered his bloody nose and shouted angrily, but in addition to getting another rifle butt, the Qing soldier who beat him also laughed wildly and said, "Sue? Looking for a lawsuit from the Zongren Mansion? Looking for Prince Gong to sue? Go on! I'll let you go! Remember, my name is Guo Nu! As long as you can sue loudly, I will sue you as you like! β
Guo Fu! Gritting his teeth and firmly remembering this name, Shiqing grabbed his wife who was looking for death and life, hugged his little son who was crying incessantly, and strode towards Tianjin amid the ridicule of the Qing army, and kept swearing in his heart, "If you don't take revenge, Lao Tzu will not be a man!" Lao Tzu doesn't believe it, Prince Gong can still favor you Han people and help you bully us! β
Even more unexpected for the Shiqing family is still behind, when they finally came to the outside of Tianjin, they were once again robbed and looted by the Qing soldiers in front of the city gate, in broad daylight, Shiqing just said that he was from the capital, and the Qing soldiers guarding the gate immediately forcibly searched his body in the name of screening Wu Junxiao, this time not only robbed his family's clothes, but also robbed them of the little subsistence food they had left. No matter how the Shiqing family cried for help and loudly identified themselves, the defenders of the city who were close at hand turned a deaf ear. Hearing the Shiqing family's shouting, the Qing soldiers who ransacked them in public roared: "Shut up! If you are verbose, you will be arrested and your family will be arrested, and you will be released after starving for three days and three nights! β
"I'm the flag man! Positive white flag! Guarga's! β
Shiqing shouted his proud identity again, but the Qing soldiers who robbed them all laughed loudly, and some even pointed to the crowd of beggars lying under the city wall basking in the sun and laughing wildly: "Banner people? Do you want a positive yellow flag or a yellow flag and a positive blue flag? There's one in there! β
"The flag man on the three flags? Asking for food here? β
Shi Qing, who was only born under the Five Banners, couldn't believe his ears at all, and the Qing soldiers who laughed at him raised their legs and kicked him to the ground, roaring: "Get out!" If you want to enter the city, you will only be given this chance, and if you don't want to enter the city, don't go in! β
Struggling to get up with tears in his eyes, in order to seize this opportunity to enter the city, Shiqing once again grabbed his wife and children who were crying to death, swallowed his anger and stumbled into the city gate. After entering the city, the first thing Shiqing did was to inquire where the Zongren Mansion Yamen in Tianjin City was, but the local people in Tianjin who were asked for directions by him were inexplicable, and asked: "What is Zongren Mansion?" I've lived in Tianjin for more than 50 years, but I've never heard of it. β
"Wouldn't it? When the capital was broken by Wu thieves, there must have been a lot of flag people coming to Tianjin? Why doesn't Prince Gong set up a sect mansion to administer justice for our bannermen? β
Shiqing felt strange in his heart, but seeing that the surprised look of the Tianjin local did not seem to be pretending, Shiqing did not pursue it, but just changed his words and asked the residence of Devil Six, but this time the Tianjin native immediately gave the answer, and enthusiastically pointed out the direction of the road to Shiqing, Shiqing thanked him respectfully, and quickly took his wife and children all the way to find Devil Six's residence. But it's a pity, no matter how Shiqing tearfully revealed his identity, Goshha, who was guarding the door, just refused to report for him, and expelled like a fly: "Let's go, let's go, what rotten fish and shrimp want to see our prince, who do you think of our prince?" Let's go, Prince Gong is busy with government affairs, so I don't have time to see you! β
"I'm not a rotten fish and shrimp, I'm a flag man! Positive white flag! Guarga's! β
"The dog slave who went down the five flags, what are you shouting? What kind of madness is a white flag madman? Lao Tzu is still a yellow flag! Do you see it? Yellow jacket! Have you touched it? Did you wear it? Lao Tzu is still a third-class shrimp (third-class guard with a knife), and now he can only be a guard of the door, you are a slave with a white flag who is not a rotten fish and shrimp. Get lost! Don't roll anymore, Lao Tzu will call someone to beat you away! β
Frightened by the sudden yellow coat of Goshha, Shiqing's family could only retreat again and again, and begged a few words to no avail, Shiqing, who was already hungry and penniless, could only choose to leave the strength to speak, and took the family to the side of the wall opposite the temporary Gong Mansion and squatted and waited, and cheered himself up: "Prince Gong will definitely come out, as long as he comes out, I will immediately stop him in a sedan chair to complain." I don't believe it, Prince Gong can watch us starve to death! β
It's still a pity, the hungry Shiqing family never waited for our Gong Wangye Devil Six to go out in a sedan chair, on the contrary, they waited for several people to come to the Eight Banners in front of Prince Gong's Mansion to complain, Shiqing went up and listened carefully, and soon found that these people's experiences were similar to their own, they were unwilling to be enslaved by the Wu army, and received the supplies of the Wu army to Tianjin to join the devil six, but before entering the city, the Qing army outside the city robbed a fine light, there was really no way out, so he could only run to the devil six to shout a complaint.
It's a pity that these Eight Banners uncles still suffered the same fate as Shiqing, not only did they fail to see Devil Six, but on the contrary, they were forcibly driven away from the gate by Devil Six's guards, and then these Eight Banner Masters couldn't swallow this breath like Shiqing, and most of them chose to squat nearby like Shiqing and wait for Devil Six to come out in order to stop the sedan chair and shout grievances. It's a pity that the devil six never showed up, on the contrary, there were more and more banner people who came to complain and shout grievances, and soon broke through the three hundred people in front of the devil six courtyards, and the dense crowd almost blocked the street. - The streets of the past were not as wide as they are now.
"If Prince Gong doesn't come out for a day, we won't leave for a day!"
A young banner man shouted out the hearts of Shi Qing and countless Eight Banner Manchurians present, but it soon attracted a monstrous disaster, a team of guards wearing yellow coats suddenly rushed out of King Gong's mansion, carrying a horse whip and beating the gathered flag people, roaring while beating. "Get out! Get out! We Gong Wang Ye said that he is not here, get out of Lao Tzu! If you dare to squat here again, you will die! Get lost! Get out of here now! β
The leather whip and leather shoes rained down on Shi Qing's body and face, but it hurt in Shi Qing's heart, and many people in the Eight Banners next to him were beaten and rolled on the ground, their heads were broken and bleeding, and they cried and shook the sky, but Shi Qing pressed his wife and son under him, and used his body to bear the most beatings, no crying, only roaring, "Gong Wangye!" You are full of people in our Eight Banners, and you are worse than the Wu rebel thief army! β
"Fuck your son minion, what did you say? Look for death! Look for death! β
Shiqing's roar was exchanged for more beatings and kicks, and in the confusion, I didn't know that the guard of Prince Gong's Mansion kicked the back of Shiqing's four-year-old son on the neck, Shiqing's young son didn't even have time to cry, and directly lost consciousness with his head tilted, Shiqing's wife cried and hugged her son and shook it, but the guards of Prince Gong's Mansion grabbed her with the child and fell heavily into the distance, Shiqing cried and rushed to his wife and child, but the back of his head was hit by a heavy object and lost consciousness on the spot............
When Shiqing woke up again, he found himself lying in a desolate clearing, lying in the middle of a group of howling and crying Eight Banner Manchurians, only the eldest son was crying and crying, and his wife was sitting on the other side with her little son who was already stiff, her hair was messy, her expression was sluggish, and she was humming a Manchurian tune to coax the child and swaying gently. Shi Qing vaguely guessed the situation, and suddenly roared, "Shaoqing, my sonββββ! β
Shiqing's wife, who was already crazy, refused to let go of her youngest son's body, and Shiqing didn't force her, just silently accompanied her side, looking sluggish and crying, as if she had gone crazy. The other Eight Banners people next to him saw that his family was indeed pitiful, so they came over to comfort him, and some people took out the hidden rice cakes to satisfy Shiqing's eldest son, who was already hungry and had a weak voice, but Shiqing remained motionless, and didn't even say a word of thanks, as if his soul had been detached from his body.
"Death again! It's killing again! β
The noise suddenly came, and a man with a bloody face was also carried into the crowd, and some people shouted indignantly: "Old and young masters, old and young masters in the capital, do you think there is still a royal law in this Tianjin city?" The second master, a good person? Seeing Prince Gong go out in a sedan chair, leading the big guy up to stop the sedan chair and shouting grievances, guess what? Prince Gong's long entourage, Leng is in the sedan chair, not Prince Gong! The second master came forward for us, saying that he knew Prince Gong and had seen Prince Gong, and he dared to guarantee that what he did in the sedan chair was Prince Gong! And guess what? Prince Gong's entourage didn't say a word, they came up and beat him, and killed the second master on the spot! Is there still a royal law in this world? Is there still a heavenly principle? β
"Prince Gong is not human! I don't want to care if we live or die! A flag man shouted.
"Wu rebel thief army didn't treat us so ruthlessly!" Another Eight Banners Man shouted so.
"Wu thief at least treats us as human beings and gives us the opportunity to earn money to support our family! Prince Gong is treating us like pigs! When a dog! Treat a pig like a dog! β
There is also a Eight Banners Manchurian shouted out the hearts of everyone present, and soon attracted countless resonances, countless Eight Banners Manchurian people beat their chests and regretted that they voluntarily left the control of the Wu Army, and there are also countless Eight Banners Manchurian people who hated their own laziness and laziness, and did not accept the kindness of Wu Jun to work for relief, and only wanted to get something for nothing, not to mention missing an opportunity to reform in vain, but also took the initiative to come to the Qing army to suffer two stubbles and suffer two stubbles.
"What's the use of saying these things now? We should help King Zhennan's army to conquer Tianjin, not only avenging our revenge, but also helping King Zhennan's army dredge the sea, so that we have more opportunities to earn money to support our families. β
The person who said this was Shi Qing, who had been in a state of dementia, his voice was not loud, and he had some meaning to vent, but what Shi Qing didn't expect was that the Eight Banners people present were suddenly dumbfounded, and the eyes of many people looking at him were suddenly full of strange colors. And then, a man of eight banners next to Shiqing asked in a low voice: "This master, do you dare to lead this head?" β
The only thing that the two have done is to talk about cross talk and pulling erhu, of course Shiqing didn't dare to take the lead, so he didn't dare to take this tone, but what Shiqing didn't expect was that as the sky became darker and darker, there were more and more people from the Eight Banners who quietly came to him to ask this question. And on the second day, as more and more Eight Banners came to Tianjin from the capital, the hungry and cold Eight Banners Manchurian team gathered around Shiqing also grew stronger and stronger. And in the end, in the midst of the angry scolding of countless hungry Eight Banner Manchus against the Devil Six and the coup group in the capital, there were still a few Manchu people who were not afraid of death who stood up and expressed their willingness to lead the Eight Banners Manchu and the Devil Six Group present to fight to the end and receive the Wu army into the city.
What made Shiqing feel even more unbelievable was still to come, only a day had passed, and some Eight Banners Manchu people who served in the Qing Army in Tianjin quietly found here and took the initiative to help these Eight Banners Manchu people open the city gate and welcome Wu Jun into the city. Among them, there are certainly some incumbent Eight Banner Manchus who have betrayed because they are unwilling in the ranks of the Qing army, and more because their wives and children are in the capital, and they have a difficult life in Tianjin, and they want to return home from the Qing army. And these people, without exception, are willing to use their wives and children in the capital as guarantors to prove their sincerity in surrendering to the Wu army.
Late that night, the people of the Eight Banners quietly discussed the selection of an envoy to return to Beijing to contact Wu Jun, Shiqing took the initiative to stand up after a little hesitation, and said in a low voice: "I am willing to go, my youngest son is dead now, my mother-in-law is crazy, and the eldest son is still there, I can leave my eldest son as a hostage for you, proving that I have absolutely no intention of betraying you." β
