Chapter 422: Dark Pass (First Update)
Although the glazed pagoda of Dabao'en Temple was not lit up with the 146 bright lamps set up inside and outside the camp, the tower body was still faintly visible in the dark, and this tower could be preserved, and there was always a bit of luck. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info If it weren't for the people of the "Far Eastern Tour" who were stationed here to protect this tower, I am afraid that this tower was blown up by Wei Changhui last year.
And now outside the Bao'en Temple, where the Taiping Army was once gone, the Taiping Army can be seen everywhere - after Zhu Yifeng, the prime minister of Tianguan, "rebelled", this place, as its only stationed institution in Tianjing, was naturally "attacked" by the Taiping Army, and everyone was thrown into prison.
Of course, all this is just a claim to the outside world.
In fact, until now, the temple is still in the hands of the rebels, and hundreds of people in the temple are only under house arrest. That's all.
"Hey, Yunling, you said that when the lord conquers Nanjing, will he rebuild the Bao'en Temple Tower?"
In the twilight, looking at the pagoda in front of him, Li Mingqin, the ostensible manager of the Far Eastern Bank in Tianjing, and in fact the "envoy" of Wuchang in Tianjing, said with some expectation.
"In fact, it is very simple to rebuild the tower of Bao'en Temple, according to the historical records, the glazed tiles, glazed components and white tiles fired by the construction of this tower are all in triplicate, one copy is used to build the tower, and the remaining two copies are buried in the ground, in case there is a defect, report to the Ministry of Engineering, and repair the accessories according to the number. In the past two years, when I was fine, I also ordered someone to excavate and unearthed a large number of glazed components with ink mark markings, and I think it only takes three or four hundred thousand yuan at most to rebuild this tower. ”
It seems that Li Mingqin is not worried about his house arrest at all, compared to the current situation, he is more concerned about this tower, well, and the tens of thousands of books in the temple obtained from the city of Nanjing.
"Manager Li, it seems that you are not too worried about the current situation?"
Liu Qingpeng asked casually, now he is a little depressed, as the head of the Nanjing Station of the Second Detective Section of the Military Police Command, he just took office half a year ago, who would have thought that the butt here has not been covered with heat, and people are trapped here.
"Worried? What is there to worry about? ”
Shaking his head, Li Mingqin said with a smile.
"If they dare to do something to us, do you think we can still stand here and talk now? Even if we stand here and speak, how can we not let people disarm us? ”
That's the most important thing!
After receiving Hong Xiuquan's will, Meng Deen, who is now in charge of the government, just sent his cronies to lead more than 1,000 people to surround the Bao'en Temple.
"This act of his just illustrates the problem - the current situation is not conducive to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, otherwise how can he go against the will of the favored people?"
For Li Mingqin, who has been in Nanjing for four years, he naturally knows those characters in Nanjing very well.
"Manager Li, do you know about the person Meng Deen?"
Liu Qingpeng asked.
"Is there a way we can pull him over?"
If you can pull this Meng Deen, who is in charge of the government, over, over, over, it will be a great achievement! When the time comes, the Lord's Eastern Crusade will naturally get twice the result with half the effort.
"Grace ......"
With a sneer, Li Mingqin said.
"For so many years, there are not many people who can always be trusted by Hong Xiuquan, and Meng Deen can be said to be one of them. He is scheming, good at inviting pets, and has won the trust of Hong Xiuquan, which is not now promoted to the right level, the prime minister of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom puppet dynasty! This man! ”
The voice was slightly elongated, and Li Mingqin said.
"In fact, he is a person who is good at drilling, if you want this kind of person to sell each other, it is actually not difficult, as long as we are in an advantage, we don't even need him to come to us, I guess he will come to the door himself."
Just when Li Mingqin's words fell, I saw someone coming over in a hurry, and then whispered something to Li Mingqin's side.
"Oh!"
Li Mingqin was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said to Liu Qingpeng.
"Stationmaster Liu, our chance has come! Let's meet a guest! ”
"Guests? Who is it?"
Looking at Liu Qingpeng, Li Mingqin said with a smile.
"Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive! It's Grace! ”
Mond's Grace is coming!
Liu Qingpeng's eyes widened in surprise.
"How did he come here? What is he doing here? ”
"That's why you need it, Stationmaster Liu, you go with me! Let's go, don't keep guests waiting for a long time, that's not our way of hospitality. ”
In the middle of the hall, Meng De'en looked a little absent-minded, and when he was drinking tea with a teacup in his hand, he even drank the tea leaves into his mouth, and then swallowed it.
Isn't it a little too abrupt to come here like this?
Meng Deen's heart was beating the drum secretly, these people are not good people, they are surnamed Zhu's eyeliner here, there are a few kind people like this.
However, it is more reassuring than dealing with such people in the future.
Especially when doing such a thing, the more treacherous and cunning the person is, the more reassuring it is.
"I've seen the palm rate!"
As soon as he entered the house, Li Mingqin apologized.
"Lao Zhengzhang has been in charge for a long time, he really deserves death!"
"Look at what you said, they are all old friends, Taoping, you are too polite!"
Meng Deen said with a smile.
They are really old friends, in fact, after Li Mingqin came to Nanjing, Meng Deen was one of the few "old friends" who have been able to live until now, and I don't know how many of the former "old friends" have died, not at the hands of the Qing army, but at the hands of their own people.
"Now here, Lao Meng and my old friends are few, that is, you, Taoping, if you are polite. I don't even have a friend anymore. ”
Munde's exclamation was more of a temptation, because everyone knew why there were no old friends.
"Hey,"
Li Mingqin sighed.
"It's a pity, in a few days, it is estimated that our old friend will not be able to see each other, who would have thought that he would come to this step."
has said this, and naturally it is clear that the scheming is clear.
"No, who would have thought that the Taiping Heavenly Council would fall to this point."
After saying this, Meng Deen looked at Li Mingqin.
"Lao Meng, just say this to me, if it spreads, maybe what your Hong Heavenly King will think!"
As soon as Li Mingqin's words fell, Meng Deen shook his head and said.
"What do you think? What else can he think, it's nothing more than that I will be Yang Xiuqing at that time! It's Shi Dakai! If a will comes down, maybe whoever will become Wei Changhui, and when the time comes, he will directly take my head! ”
Mund's continued grumbling.
"I'm Lao Meng, although I am in charge, but this is not Wang Yue, I don't even have a share in marrying a wife and taking a concubine, it's easy to kill me, I am alone, and I directly took my head and became."
Meng Deen's complaint fell on Li Mingqin's ears, making his brows jump, now that he has reached this point, there is no need to test at all.
"Lao Meng! You're not real! ”
Picking up the teacup, Li Mingqin said with a smile.
"Who said that you are alone, if I remember correctly, in this Nanjing City, you have a private house, and there is a golden house in it!"
The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is an absurd place where only the eldest brother is allowed to have sex with the younger brother. However, this can restrain others, but it can't restrain Meng Deen, who is actually in charge of the women's hall as Hong Xiuquan's cronies. is also close to the water and the building is the first to get the month, and repeatedly violates the "heavenly rules", I don't know how many fornicating things have been done by taking advantage of his position.
Laughing dryly, Meng Deen sighed helplessly.
"Even then, it was sneaky. This is still the case with human beings, hey...... It is reasonable that the kingdom of heaven is going to die! ”
"Oh, Lao Meng, it seems that you mean something."
Li Mingqin stared at Meng Deen and said.
"Mean?"
Shaking his head, Mond said.
"Just now, the King of Heaven has issued an order, ordering Li Xiucheng to lead the army to return to Tianjing, Taoping, when the time comes, in Tianjing, there will be 500,000 troops, if you want to conquer Tianjing, it will not be easy!"
Tune Li Xiucheng back to Beijing!
Hearing Meng Deen say this, Li Mingqin's brows jumped, Li Xiucheng was a new general of the Taiping Army, and repeatedly repelled the counteroffensive of the Qing army on the Eastern Front.
"Isn't it just one person? No big deal, 500,000 ......"
Smiling, Li Mingqin said.
"How much water is in these people? I estimate that excluding the women, children, the old and the weak, it will be 200,000, and of these 200,000, there will be 20,000 righteous troops attacking the city, which is enough. ”
Li Mingqin's self-confidence made Meng Deen's heart suddenly blocked, although he was very aware of the huge disparity in combat effectiveness between the Taiping Army and the Righteous Army, but he did not expect that the other party would be confident to this point, and his mind changed, and he immediately responded.
"What Tao Ping said is extremely true, 20,000 righteous troops are enough to attack the city, but no matter what, there will always be casualties, when the time comes, tens of thousands of elites will be killed and wounded, with the benevolence and righteousness of the Han Dynasty, how can you not feel sad?"
Mund's tone then shifted again.
"Besides, 20,000 against 200,000, that is outside the city, this Tianjing, the city is high and the walls are solid, when the time comes, the casualties of the righteous army will only multiply, if the defenders of the city are determined to defend the city, when the city is broken, then light the city, and burn the whole city, even if the city is captured, it is also an empty city. Just like this big Bao'en Temple, when it comes to defending the city, it will naturally be shelled, so as not to be used by the rebels, and when the time comes, what is the use of Han Gong to capture this empty city? ”
There seemed to be a threat in Mond's words, but in this threat of his. Li Mingqin heard something else.
"Lao Meng!"
After taking a sip of tea, Li Mingqin's eyes narrowed into a slit, looked at Meng Deen, and said with a smile.
"If I'm not mistaken, since Lao Meng said so, there must be a way for you."
"Method ......"
Smiling, Meng Deen nodded mysteriously, and then smiled.
"There is a way, but it depends on whether you are willing to do it! Of course, the most important thing is ...... I! ”
Staring at Li Mingqin, Meng Deen's face became solemn.
"I'll think of a way, let's do it together, but ......"
