"After crossing this mountain rush, I will soon be home!"

In Baohe Town, more than 20 miles west of Chenzhou, Li Guanlong and his two brothers who followed him sat under a pine tree with each other's arms, eating tsamba mixed with the smell of sweat in their arms, and their mouths were full of bitterness. www.biquge.info However, he doesn't regret it!

Li Guanlong was originally from the town of Baohe, but last year, like everyone else in the town, he was mining in the iron ore mine outside Laoyachong in the east of the town to make a living. But that's all changed now!

Since the end of last year, when he heard that the Taiping army in Guangxi had occupied Yong'an City and established the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, which could make the world peaceful, his heart was moved. Because, his brother Huang Feixing, who grew up with him since he was a child and made a living by mining together, is in the desirable Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, in Yong'an City. At this time last year, Huang Feixing took him to join the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan. At that time, he was also very excited, but he was worried that his father, who was sick in bed at home, had no one to take care of him, so he did not go with him.

Who knows, in December last year, in order to save his brother when he was mining, not only did his brother not be saved, but he was also injured and could not mine, so he lost his salary. Although the workers have scraped together a little help, it is difficult for each family to make ends meet, so it is naturally difficult to continue. Within half a month, the old father who was sick in bed died of illness because he had no money to get medicine. After settling down hastily, although his injuries were healed, he didn't want to go back to the mine to repeat the life he had lived in mining.

One day, he happened to meet a fierce foreman, with the miners in the official mansion, bullying his co-workers, Li Guanlong couldn't see it, went over to help, and beat the foreman to death as soon as he missed. He simply did not stop doing anything, led the workers to rise up and resist, killed the miners, and occupied the mine. The miners from the nearby Guiyang mine joined one after another, and in a few days they gathered thousands of people, Li Guanlong originally wanted to lead these thousands of men and horses to kill Guiyang and go to Guangxi to join the Taiping Army. Unexpectedly, at the beginning of this year, Chen Shijie, a dog official in Guiyang's hometown of Ding Wei, actually set up a group training, summoned the villagers to buy guns and knives, ambushed on the way to Guiyang, and killed most of the thousands of miners led by Li Guanlong, who passed by, and the rest fled into the mountains and forests.

Li Guanlong finally escaped back to Chenzhou, and defected to Liu Daiwei, the leader of the Chenzhou Miners' World Association, with several brothers. Unexpectedly, within two months, Liu Daiwei's plot to raise troops was leaked out by a traitor, and Hu Lizhen, the governor of Chenzhou, transferred troops to attack Yangliupu, the gathering place of the Chenzhou Miners' Heaven and Earth Association, and Li Guanlong and several of Liu Daiwei's key subordinates were arrested and imprisoned together.

When Liu Daiwei saw his brother arrested, he was angry for a while, so late one night, he led the rebel army of Chenzhou miners, and took advantage of the heavy rain to quietly surround Chenzhou City. They climbed over the city walls, entered the city, attacked the state office, killed Hu Lizhen and his family, and then opened the prison, rescued Li Guanlong and several other brothers, and occupied the city of Chenzhou for two days.

Subsequently, a large number of Qing troops counterattacked and attacked the city, and under the persuasion of Li Guanlong, in order to preserve the strength of the rebel army, Liu Daiwei led the brothers of the uprising to retreat to Yongxing County. At this time, the governor of Huguang, Cheng Xucai, ordered the general Ji Lamin to lead the soldiers of Hengzhou Prefecture to join the Guiyang Gongsheng Chen Shijie, Yongxing Gongsheng Liu Maoting, Chenzhou Wuju Chen Buyuan and other local regiments to go to Yongxing Youzhuwei to besiege the rebels. The rebels rose up to resist, but were eventually defeated due to their weak strength. Liu Daiwei was also captured and died. Li Guanlong was lucky, once again escaped from death, led hundreds of brothers to fight out of the encirclement, all the way over the mountains and mountains, hiding in Tibet, after more than a month, before escaping back to Baohe's hometown, but the brothers were intercepted by the pursuers, separated all the way, and only 2 brothers were left to follow him.

After eating tsampa, Li Guanlong regained some strength.

"Two brothers, I don't know what your plans are for the future?" Li Guanlong stood up, looked at the two and asked.

"Brother Li, you saved our brother's life, and I will follow you in this life!"

"Okay, let's go to my hometown to hide for a while! A few days ago in a bazaar, I heard that the Taiping army had occupied Daozhou in Yongzhou Prefecture, and then we would go to Daozhou together and defect to the Taiping army! Li Guanlong looked at the west and said longingly.

"Okay, just defect to the Taiping Army, we will listen to Brother Li!"

"Shhhh After the three of them finished discussing, they were just about to leave, when suddenly, Li Guanlong noticed that around them where they were resting, at some point, there were more than a dozen people hiding behind branches and surrounding them.

"I'm afraid it's officers and soldiers, run into the mountains!"

Li Guanlong pulled the two of them into a bush in an open place, and then it was too late, but he didn't expect that there were people waiting here. Several big men jumped out of the bushes and rushed up, and by the time Li Guanlong reacted and wanted to resist, several bright brand knife blades had already forced under their necks.

"Death this time! I can't imagine that I, Li Guanlong, still can't escape the palm of the Manchu Qing Dynasty after all! Li Guanlong closed his eyes in pain, waiting for the moment before he died. A while ago, he saw that after the Qing soldiers caught the brother who had caused the incident, he cut off his head to receive a reward, only to say that he would soon become a cold head in the hands of officers and soldiers. He was no longer afraid of death, but he didn't want to die, he hadn't had time to join the Taiping Army, and he wanted to see the brother who had grown up together since childhood.

"Watch the dragon!" A familiar accent sounded.

Li Guanlong opened his eyes in disbelief and looked at the familiar person in front of him, who was much stronger than last year, and was full of a murderous aura up and down.

Brother Huang Feixing, who grew up together since childhood!

"Fei Xing, why are you here? What the hell is going on? Li Guanlong asked eagerly.

"Let's get up first. Brothers, this person is an iron buddy I grew up with, and he is also a poor miner, not a pure demon and a spy! Huang Feixing turned his head and said to the others around him, motioning for them to accept the card knife.

Li Guanlong only noticed at this moment that the people around him were dressed up with Huang Feixing, with a red scarf wrapped around his head. It's all the Taiping Army? Could it be that the Taiping Army has reached Chenzhou?

"Guanlong, tell me why you are here, and how you still look like this?" Seeing that Li Guanlong and the other two young men were unkempt and their clothes were in tatters, Huang Feixing asked.

Immediately, Li Guanlong told his story about his experience since last year, and finally asked: "Fei Xing, did your Taiping army really fight in Chenzhou?" Take me to the Heavenly King, I want to join the Taiping Army! ”

"Whew! You brother is so funny! I said brother, the Taiping army did not reach Chenzhou, if you want to see the king, you have to go to Changsha. A middle-aged man with a red scarf on his head next to him laughed loudly with a Cantonese accent.

"That's it! Don't look at my brother's jokes! Keep scouting, you guys! Huang Feixing shouted at the middle-aged man wrapped in a red scarf, turned to Li Guanlong again, and said with a smile: "Guanlong, I am not the Taiping Army now, but the Taiping Holy Army, which is better than the Taiping Army!" I can't take you to the Heavenly King, but I can take you to the Holy King, who is even more holy than the Heavenly King! Let's go, follow me back to the camp first, give you something to eat, and then you can tell me about the situation in Chenzhou City! ”

Li Guanlong was stunned by Huang Feixing and blinded.
