Chapter 13: The White-Eyed Wolf
Wu Sanniang was a little puzzled: "Why don't we defend Linqing and fight with the Qing Demon?" I'm sure you'll be able to win the fight! ”
Li Qingyuan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I can fight once, people can come a second time, the third time, I can destroy 10,000 people, and people can come 20,000, 50,000, 100,000, or even 500,000." And if we stay on the spot, we will die in the morning and evening. ”
Wu Sanniang thought that this was indeed the case, when his father-in-law Wang Lun first attacked the Qing Brick City, he fought for more than half a month, and he was surrounded by 30,000 or 40,000 Qing troops.
The battle in the city was far less bad than Li Qingyuan thought, when the news of the bandits entering the city reached the city, the Qing army in the city had already wavered, and when the rebel army appeared in the city, the Qing army began to engage in the battle at the beginning, and it could still rely on the musket to hold on.
But when the rebels bypassed the front and slaughtered from all sides, the Qing army immediately collapsed, and the prisoners and the rebels destroyed the Qing army while setting fire to the city.
Fortunately, Li Qingyuan had expected this situation for a long time, and he still held a battalion in his hand, occupying grain depots, ordnance, gunpowder depots and other facilities, and after dawn, the rebels came to report that the Qing army fled from the north gate.
Just when Li Qingyuan thought that everything was going as smoothly as he expected, the soldiers came to report that a group of rebels had occupied the silver treasury in the yamen, and heard that there were more than 100,000 taels of official silver in it, which was the silver prepared by the Qing demon.
Hearing the news, Li Qingyuan knew that what he had been worried about had happened, but it was not convenient for him to come forward as a newcomer, Li Qingyuan was thinking about countermeasures, and at the same time asked the soldiers to notify Wu Sanniang, who was counting the ordnance and gunpowder.
To say that among the group of rebels who escaped, Li Qingyuan gradually accumulated a little prestige by leading everyone to win battles several times, but among these captured people, many people did not know who Li Qingyuan was.
What's more, there are more than twenty righteous sons of this Wang Lun, and there are sect elders of the same generation as Wang Lun, so saving these people may lead to the loss of his leadership, which Li Qingyuan expected before he set off.
But if you don't save them, your three or five thousand people are really not enough for the Qing army, so Li Qingyuan left himself three roads.
The next strategy is to follow these so-called leaders to continue to fight, relying on a group of brothers who trust them and constantly give advice to gradually establish their prestige in the sect, and finally replace them and become real leaders.
The advantage of this is that you don't have to face so many problems by yourself with the big army, and when the sky falls, there will naturally be tall ones, but the disadvantages are also obvious!
The first is that this group of people doesn't seem to have enough brains, and they don't even know that they have been served by the Qing army, and the second is to put their fate in the hands of others and participate in this kind of inferior intrigue, Li Qingyuan neither likes nor is he good at it.
Therefore, Li Qingyuan feels that this is the next policy, and Li Qingyuan is unwilling to take this road unless it is absolutely necessary, and Li Qingyuan still feels that if he wants to survive in such an environment, he can only rely on himself.
The middle strategy is to retire after success, take advantage of the gap between yourself to save the righteous army, find a mountain forest by yourself, live an ordinary life, and stay away from this right and wrong.
The advantage is that the court has no energy to care about him for the time being, and he can leave calmly, but this disadvantage is also fatal.
He crushed to death a concubine of the Qing Dynasty, named Gulun Efu Rawang Dorji. There is also half of the firearms battalion, and one of them is Yushi Asiha, which burned more than 10,000 Qing troops of Shu Hede, and played with the Qing army to applaud, and it was the righteous army that rekindled when it was on the verge of extinction.
A person like him, will Daqing really let him go? I'm afraid that after he escaped, he worried every night that Qianlong would send a large army to arrest him, and in the end, I was afraid that a government official would be able to subdue him.
He is really unwilling to accept such a fate, when he comes to the Qing Dynasty, what is the meaning of living mediocrely? watched the Qing Dynasty indulge in the prosperous era of Kangqian, and watched Qianlong struggle to be his 'perfect old man'.
At this time, there was a Watt in England who had improved the steam engine, a man named Newton who had completed his classical laws of mechanics, and the Han people continued to sink until one day the British sent a few ships and forced the Qing Dynasty to sign a series of treaties.
So Li Qingyuan was preparing a way out for himself, but he still had a bold idea in his heart, that is, his best policy, and it was also his goal to return to Linqing with great difficulty.
By the time Li Qingyuan came to Linqing County, Wu Sanniang had already quarreled with the other party, and Li Qingyuan listened to Xiaobing's report and knew that the person who was quarreling with Wu Sanniang was called Fan Wei, one of the initiators of the uprising, and Wang Lun's most valued son.
Just now, when the righteous army was fighting with the Qing army, this Fan Wei took the opportunity to occupy the county office, and found the silver in the silver treasury.
The two sides confronted each other, Wu Sanniang came and felt that the money was everyone's natural and should be handed over to the logistics department for safekeeping, but this Fan Wei really felt that when Wang Lun died, he should be the new leader of the Qingshui Sect, and of course the money should be in his charge, not only the money should be in his hands, but even the righteous army led by Wu Sanniang should listen to him.
And he felt that Li Qingyuan's so-called reorganization was a mess, and the Holy Sect only had an establishment, so how could it be an outsider's turn to point fingers, Wu Sanniang said that Li Qingyuan was a heavenly soldier sent by his motherless mother.
Originally, Wu Sanniang thought that this was a big killer that could successfully block the mouths of these people, but she didn't expect that this Fan Wei was blinded by money, and accused Wu Sanniang of fooling the sect under the pretense of using the heavenly soldiers and the future.
Wu Sanniang said that her soldiers had seen it, and Fan Wei did laugh at Wu Sanniang for lying, and asked her who else had seen it besides her soldiers.
When Li Qingyuan arrived, they were arguing here, and just as Li Qingyuan was about to step forward, he saw two more people coming in the crowd, and the sect members all shouted that Lord Meng and Lord Wang were coming.
Li Qingyuan stopped again, and decided to see which side these two people were on first, after the two came, a younger person saw Wu Sanniang and immediately leaned up happily and said: "Sanniang, I heard that you were injured, are you better now?" ”
"Brother Meng Can, I'm much better, thank you for your concern." Wu Sanniang obviously didn't want to get too close to this person, so she gently gave way to the transformation.
The other, who was a little older, asked, "What are you doing here?" The old sect leader's bones are not cold, are you going to do this cannibalistic thing now! ”
"Uncle Wang, you know that my father-in-law is the most optimistic about me, and before he left, he told me that he would take everyone to live, and now Sanniang actually helped an outsider to snatch the position of the sect leader...... "This Fan Wei villain sued first, and first arranged Wu Sanniang.
"You are talking nonsense, Qingyuan Zhenren is a heavenly soldier sent by the lifeless old mother, if it weren't for him, would we have escaped from the city and come back to save you? You are ungrateful to say this, and besides, I just want to get everyone's money back, and I am in charge of logistics first, so I naturally have to take care of the silver. Wu Sanniang argued with reason.
