Winter goes to spring, although last year's several heavy snowfall and even blizzard in the month of Wax made people give the illusion of being in the north, but Jiangnan is always Jiangnan, after a few spring breezes, this thick snow in the south of the Yangtze River under the warm wind of the wind, it quickly began to melt, if in the ordinary year, look at the thick snow melting, there will be people who will say, this year is a good year. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info but now the war is in chaos, but no one will talk like this, after all, when the war is in chaos, don't say that it is to make a living, even if it is not easy to save your life.
Rather be a peace dog, don't be chaotic and leave people!
At this time, for the people in Wuchang City, their painful experience of this troubled world can be said to be the most profound, a few months ago, first the government burned down the outer city, and then it was a rebellion to attack the city, the original way the city was taken, this matter also stopped, but who would have thought that the previous good words were all rebellious but coerced the people of the city, men and women were divided into camps, and after the burning of the city, they were coerced down the river, although some people fled back one after another, but they did not know how many wives were scattered.
For these people who survived the rest of their lives and finally escaped the catastrophe, they suffered from the separation of their wives and wives, and thought that everything would be over if they fled back to Wuchang, but who ever wanted to escape back to Wuchang, after a few days, Ansheng's diary was still a few days later, and he was once again recruited by the government Ding recruited Yong, even if he was unwilling, Chu Yong's knife edge was raised, who dared to refuse.
"What kind of sin have I done in this life?"
Carrying a six-foot-long red cherry spear, Ding Dayong, who stood at the head of the city, silently pondered, just ten days ago, this coat was put on his body again, but God knows, but whenever there is a trace of possibility, he doesn't want to be this "Yong", although the word "Yong" is written on his chest, but he does not have the slightest courage in his heart.
For him, after experiencing several life and death tribulations, his only idea is to be able to live a stable life, originally, he finally escaped to Wuchang, and even in the burning city, packed up a few houses, although most of the houses collapsed, but he still built a grass hut with broken walls and wood, originally, in his opinion, the broken house located at the corner of the street, if no one asked, within a few years, he would be able to build a few huts, and that place would naturally become his home, and he could even do some business there in the future, You can always make a living by opening a restaurant or something.
But who would have thought that before the dream began, people were escorted to the city by Chu Yong with a knife, first like everyone else, using bamboo cages and wooden stakes to repair the city wall that was blown down by the Taiping army, and after the city wall was repaired, a thin coat and a tasseled spear made of crooked sticks and iron heads were stuffed again.
Again, Ding Dayong became a member of Wuchang Yonglian.
"Dog...... Sooner or later, one day, Lao Tzu will have to escape......"
Ding Dayong thought in his heart, he seemed to be accustomed to being a deserter now, and now, for him, there was only one thought, that is, to live the next life, as for the war...... It is better not to eat the severed food.
"That is, eat a few more bowls of full rice......"
muttering like this in his heart, he looked at the officers and soldiers on the city who were huddled in the wind, and their waists were curled up like cooked shrimps, but those "Huangzhou Righteous Army" who were holding their heads up and holding their chests high once again appeared in his mind.
"If those people call......
I didn't want to be okay, but just thinking about it slightly, Ding Dayong suddenly felt that the day seemed to be colder.
"Yes, shouldn't it, this, there are so many soldiers in this city......"
“…… It will not dare to attack the city in the short term! ”
In the Great Signing Hall of the Huguang Governor's Mansion, in the face of the Governor's inquiry, Jiang Zhongyuan said in a very positive tone.
"That being the case, Minqiao, why do you need to attack Huangzhou, after all, I attack the thief and defend, and the benefit is in the thief and not in me!"
Zhang Liangji, who was the governor of Huguang, did not despise Jiang Zhongyuan at this time because he was eager to attack Huangzhou. After all, since he met Jiang Zhongyuan in Hunan, in his opinion, this person is an extremely rare brave and resourceful general, whether he Zhang Liangji can sit firmly in Wuchang as the governor of Huguang, only he Jiang Zhongyuan can be advised.
It is precisely because of this that he will go to the fold to protect Jiang Zhongyuan, so as not to be impeached by the officials because of the fall of Huangzhou, but the reliance on Jiang Zhongyuan does not mean that he obeys his words, just like he wants to use his Wuchang troops to suppress the thieves in Huangzhou.
"Your Excellency!"
Seeing that the Governor did not agree with his opinion, Jiang Zhongyuan hurriedly got up and said.
Judging from the news from Huangzhou and Wuchang County, the so-called "Huangzhou Righteous Army" was earlier in the name of the Cantonese bandits, but in fact it was by no means the Cantonese bandits, and the Cantonese bandits were different from the Cantonese bandits who were running around to raise food and rob the people, and every time they occupied a place, they must first seal the book of the government and appoint the officials of the Yanei, and their actions were completely different from the short-sightedness of the Cantonese bandits. Even if you can't wipe them out, you need to force them out of Huangzhou and force them to ...... other places."
Thinking that the second and third brothers were all defeated by Zhu Yi in Huangzhou, Jiang Zhongyuan, who was afraid that someone would make a fuss, hurriedly added.
"My lord, what Zhongyuan said today is all for the court, not for personal grievances, if you have the slightest selfishness, Zhongyuan is willing to be punished by the adult! ……”
When he spoke, Jiang Zhongyuan had already knelt down, kowtowing to show that his words were from the bottom of his heart. But in fact, for him, the reason why he immediately sent troops to Huangzhou was for the court, but also for himself, in order to recapture the corpses of the second and third children, and avenge the killing of his younger brother.
"Minqiao,"
Seeing Jiang Zhongyuan like this, Zhang Liangji hurriedly got up to help him.
"Between you and me, why do you need to be like this, I don't know that what Minqiao's heart does is all for the court, if you don't know Minqiao, how can the old man be willing to wear a top to protect Minqiao!"
"The adult treats Zhongyuan so well, Zhongyuan will repay him with death and repay the kindness of the adult!"
Jiang Zhongyuan did not mention the "imperial court" when he was loyal, but only mentioned Zhang Liangji's kindness, it seems that in his words, this Zhang Liangyuan is more kind to him Jiang Zhongyuan than the imperial court, and this is also what Zhang Liangji is willing to hear.
"Minqiao, between you and me, why do you need to be like this, if you mention any more kindness, the old man will not be happy!"
Saying this, Zhang Liangji had a smile on his face, for him, this Jiang Zhongyuan, his Chu Yong and his personal bravery are all what he needs to rely on to govern Huguang, and he is ...... Well, that's a must-try, and officialdom has always been like that.
"The love of adults, Zhongyuan can not know!"
Jiang Zhongyuan didn't continue to talk about this, sometimes some things don't need to be repeated, just need to emphasize it occasionally, just like now.
"Minqiao, in your opinion, if the old man agrees with you to send troops to Huangzhou, how many men do you need to lead there?"
Seeing that the adults had already persuaded themselves, Jiang Zhongyuan hurriedly said.
"Eight thousand! Eight thousand soldiers and horses are enough! ”
Eight thousand...... After pondering for a moment, Zhang Liangji knew that among the 8,000 men and horses mentioned by Jiang Zhongyuan, there was no Xiangyong he brought from Hunan, that is, among the Chu Yong he brought from his headquarters, that is, the newly recruited Yong of Wuchang.
"Eight thousand...... Minqiao, if this is the case, there will only be 3,000 people left in this Wuchang, how will Wuchang defend it then? ”
Although he knew that although Hubei was in chaos at the moment, Zhang Liangji knew very well that except for the thieves in Huangzhou, most of the others were just chaotic soldiers and bandits who were not afraid, but there were always some things to say.
"Back to my lord, Zhongyuan has rebuilt the city wall of Wuchang some time ago, although it is only fixed with wooden stakes and bamboo cages, but it can barely block the attack of the rebels, and then this Hubei thief has lost his courage when he heard the name of the adult, and he thought that he would borrow a few of their courage, and he would never dare to attack the provincial capital, even if it was the Huangzhou Zhu rebellion, it was only when the adult came to Hubei, he took advantage of the chaos to seize the city......"
Zhang Liangji, who was slapping this sycophant, was extremely useful, he gently hugged his beard, and then said to Jiang Zhongyuan.
"Minqiao, you do things, the old man is naturally relieved, but although Huangzhou is a thief, the people in the city, after all, are the people of my Great Qing Kingdom, after all, you will restrain your subordinates, after all, Huangzhou is a land after all, you can understand......"
"Zhongyuan understands!"
The adult's reminder, Jiang Zhongyuan can not know, this is to remind him not to slaughter the city at every turn, so as not to teach the truth, but if he does not slaughter the city, how can he calm the hatred of his brother?
"Thank you for reminding ......"
Before Jiang Zhongyuan finished speaking, suddenly a cannon roared from far and near......
