No. 209 Unexpected Surprise (Second Update!) )
Huang Ting's brows furrowed slightly when he heard this, this was not the result he wanted, nor was it the result that the imperial court wanted, and he was planning to persuade Chen Bao to give up the idea of listening to Xuan and not listening to the tune, and accept the reorganization of the imperial court and completely return to the Ming Dynasty. was interrupted by a sudden commotion outside the government office.
Chen Bao was very keenly observed Huang Ting's frowning expression, where is the limit of the imperial court, he has a rough bottom in his heart, listening to Xuan or not listening to the tune is already his bottom line, he doesn't want to give in anymore, since the old Zheng Tou Tartar, after the division was divided, over the years, he has been entrenched in South Australia Weifu himself, and he can no longer stand it, seeing that Huang Ting seems to be persuading, he wanted to divert the topic, he didn't think that he just dozed off and came to the pillow, heard the noise outside the official office, and hurriedly made an angry look and said:
"Who is so bold and lawless, who dares to come to this town's government office to spread wild!" He turned his head and instructed Su Min, the pro-soldier who was sitting next to him: "You take someone to check quickly, take down all the troublemakers, and put them in prison!" ”
Su Min led the order to take his own soldiers out in a hurry, Chen Bao suppressed his anger, and said to Huang Ting with a wry smile: "General Huang may not know that there are countless smugglers and smugglers in this place of Nanao. These people eat, drink, prostitute and gamble in everything, and they often face each other with swords, and I can only do my best, which makes General Huang laugh. ”
Huang Tingxin arrived in South Australia and did not know the truth, so he did not echo it. Chen Bao didn't speak again, and the scene cooled down. The incident happened suddenly, Huang Ting felt inconvenient to leave, and Chen Bao was not easy to open his mouth to send off the guests, both the guest and the host felt a little embarrassed, so they had to wait for Su Min to come back and report the results of the treatment by drinking tea.
After a while, the commotion outside disappeared, and then Su Min hurried back alone. The matter was handled so quickly, obviously out of Chen Bao's surprise, so before Su Min could speak after he came in, he couldn't wait to ask: "What's going on outside, the people you want to arrest?" ”
"Marshal, it's not a disturbance outside, but the old department of the Taishi wants to see General Huang. When the guards saw that they were all dressed in their homely clothes, they were afraid that they might be thieves and thieves, and wanted to disperse them, but because of the inappropriate language, the two sides quarreled, and each did not give in to each other, and if it were not for the fact that the end would have gone quickly, it would have almost caused disaster. How to deal with this matter, the last general did not dare to make an assertion, and I hereby asked the general to decide. ”
Chen Bao remembered what he had just said to Huang Ting, his expression was quite unnatural, and he said angrily: "Didn't you see that General Huang and Benzhen were discussing a big matter? Go, ask them to disperse quickly, and ask to see General Huang another day, otherwise don't blame me for being polite. ”
Hearing that the matter involved him, Huang Ting couldn't help but ask.
"Chen Shuai, can you allow the little brother to ask General Su a few words?"
"General Huang, please, don't be polite. However, these people are not successful enough and have more than enough failures, and I mean that General Huang had better ignore them. ”
"General Su, I wonder if you asked them why they are in a hurry to see me?"
"This ...... The last general was in a hurry to come back to pay a complaint, and he was negligent for a while, so he asked General Huang for his understanding. ”
"In this way, Chen Shuai, the younger brother thinks it's better to go out to meet them, so as not to make a mistake."
Chen Bao was disgraced, a little displeased, and said: "General Huang wants to see them, so I won't accompany them." I have set up a banquet in the backyard to catch the wind for the general, and ask General Huang to go back quickly. ”
"It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, if there is no accident, the little brother will return immediately. There was General Rausu leading the way. ”
Huang Ting and his entourage followed Su Min out of the government office, and saw forty or fifty big men standing at the door, the first of which was burly, with a bearded face and a very rude appearance. Before Huang Ting could ask, Su Min beside him had already shouted: "Li Bin, don't kneel down when you see General Huang!" ”
"General Zheng Lao Tartar hurt everyone, General Huang also followed General Zheng Lao to descend Tartar together, but now he is coming to Nanao as an envoy of the Ming Dynasty, if General Huang is really determined to resist Tartar and no longer go to three or four times, I Li Bin will kneel down to him. Otherwise, it's polite for me not to scold him, kneel? Don't even think about it! ”
"Don't be rude!" Su Min scolded: "General Huang, this Li Bin was originally the general under the command of Lao Shuai, a native of Shandong, and the whole family died under the Tartar knife, and the hatred with the Tartar is as deep as the sea. Please General Huang read that he is straightforward and bold, and forgive him for being open-mouthed. ”
"Huang likes a straightforward real man like him!" Huang Ting walked in front of Li Bin and said: "When he followed Li Junmen anyway, Huang Mou had already sworn to the sky and was determined to resist the Tartars. ”
"Please forgive General Huang for being rude, I don't know Mount Tai with my eyes."
Li Bin knelt on the ground with all the men behind him.
"General Huang, General Su, these people are like the sea with the Tartars, and there is really no way to smuggle here to make a living. If General Huang doesn't think we are rude, I and my brothers behind me are willing to follow General Huang up the Sword Mountain, down to the sea of fire, and fight with the Tartars to the end, until death! ”
Huang Ting didn't expect these men to be so straightforward, and they would be loyal as soon as they agreed, but after all, this is Chen Bao's territory, if he boldly recruited them, it is not only equivalent to digging Chen Bao's wall, but also equivalent to directly slapping Chen Leopard's face.
In order to resolve this embarrassing situation and save a little face for Chen Bao, Huang Ting picked up Li Bin with both hands and said: "With you bloody men with you, why worry about the great cause of resisting the Tartars!" You don't know, Chen Shuai has announced that he will return to the Ming Dynasty and is ready to fight against the Tartars with everyone, if you want to join the army, why bother to go far and follow Chen Shuai directly to kill the Tartars, as long as you can kill the Tartars, isn't it the same everywhere, are you brothers right? ”
"What General Huang said makes sense, let's go to join the army and follow Chen Shuai to kill the Tartars!" Li Bin replied loudly and led the brothers away happily......
After dealing with the matter, Huang Ting returned to the backyard, and saw that Chen Leopard's face was not safe, so he quietly withdrew the wording that had been prepared in advance into his stomach, and planned to find an appropriate time to say that the banquet was less than half an hour, and Huang Ting proposed to rest earlier under the pretext of physical fatigue.
In the next few days, Chen Bao asked the former Zheng Zhilong's old soldiers under his command to follow Huang Ting to reminisce and play the emotional card, while leading Huang Ting to visit Nanao Island, and nearly 10,000 water and land battalions and hundreds of warships in the water village.
At that time, the Manchus were enforcing the shaving order in Fujian, which seriously damaged the self-esteem of the Han people, and the Han people with a little backbone were extremely resentful of shaving their hair, and the anti-shaving naturally became anti-Manchu. The bloodshed of "keeping your hair but not your head" spread all over the prefectures and counties of Fujian, and countless men, women, and children who did not want to shave their hair rushed south to Guangdong or to Nanao Island.
As a result, there are more than 70,000 soldiers and civilians on the small Nanao Island, and the people are mixed, the good and the bad are uneven, and robberies and brawls occur from time to time.
