Near the dawn, the rain in the middle of the night turned clear, on the official road leading to Huangzhou Mansion, in front of a stone bridge, several Lian Yong with tassel guns are hiding from the biting cold wind in the grass hut, the clothes are wet by the rain, it is even colder, they huddle in a group in front of the fire in the grass shed to get warm, although the fire roasts the chest, but the back is cold.
"Damn, that guy surnamed Tian is really bullying us, on such a cold day, let us guard what bridge here!"
"But no, I don't believe it anymore, those Cantonese bandits have to be called from here......"
The people in the grass hut, you complain a word, listening to the accent is not like the accent of Huangzhou Mansion, but a little like Henan dialect, which is not strange, after all, this Huangzhou Mansion stands near the river, many displaced people from the north, most of them are here to work hard in the wharf coolie to make a living, and now most of them are from Henan.
"Aren't we people from Henan? If you force Lao Tzu like this again, be careful that Lao Tzu voted for the Taiping Army......"
When the man complained, he didn't notice that in the faintly bright sky outside, more than a dozen figures had already pounced, and as soon as the man's words fell, these people had already pounced with knives and guns......
I didn't even look at the corpses kneeling on the ground, Wang Fu, who was dressed in yellow clothes and tied with a red cloth on his head, strode towards Chen Shuyang, who had just come over, with a blood-dripping knife in his hand.
"I've seen Master Shishuai!"
Wang Fu's expression was extremely respectful, although it was only a few days old, but at this time, he had forgotten his experience as a bandit, but completely put himself in a position - the position of the former battalion commander, as a scholar, he naturally knew that his current identity was in the imperial court, that is, the official body of a battalion general, but in the eyes of the imperial court, he was just a rebel.
"Eunuch Ting, look at you, you and I are not outsiders, look at your polite ......"
Chen Shuyang was willing to accept Wang Fu's courtesy, and the Wang Fu in front of him can be said to be his "lucky general", if it weren't for the fact that he brought people and horses to defect to the Taiping Army, how could he have made a contribution to the eyes of the Wing King, and then became a brigade commander in charge of 500 people, although the number of people was less than 500 at that time, but after all, he really had an official body, and got rid of the difficulty of writing and writing at the beginning.
With this brigade commander's body, then "the fish enters the sea, and the dragon is born." After the defeat of Wuchang, under the expansion of the army of the Heavenly Kingdom, although he was not a "Cantonese", he also rose to the rank of division commander with the rising tide and was in charge of an army of more than 2,500 people.
In the future, with the development of the great cause of the kingdom of heaven, it is not impossible to be promoted to the commander of the army, and it is Wang Fu who brought all this, and it is precisely because of this that he will favor Wang Fu, of course, more importantly, Wang Fu is similar to him, and he is also a scholar who "does not show his ambition", and the similarity of fate makes him more willing to regard him as a friend rather than a subordinate, not to mention, in this heavenly kingdom that pays attention to the region, under the suppression of the "Cantonese people", they outsiders should naturally be more tightly embraced.
"Master Shishuai, this gift cannot be abolished!"
At this time, Wang Fu seemed extremely cautious, as soon as he entered the official gate as deep as the sea, although now he got his wish to "recruit An", but he has also witnessed that in this heavenly kingdom, someone slightly crossed the thunder pond half a step, and was beaten to death by Shangguan, if he was frightened for a period of time, he summed up an experience - that is, to respect and respect everyone, especially to those "Cantonese", who knows that behind those "Cantonese" stands the prince and prime minister?
Don't finally get an official body, but it turns out to be ruined by a careless, the kind of thing that destroys one's future because of carelessness is definitely not what Wang Fu wants, so even if he knows that Lord Chen in front of him is absolutely harmless, he will accompany him to be cautious and careful.
"Hey......"
Shaking his head, Chen Shuyang, who knew what Wang Fu was thinking, smiled helplessly.
"In that case, then it's all up to the eunuch brother!"
Hearing the helplessness in his heart, Wang Fu stepped forward and said softly.
"My lord, if Wang Fu didn't insist on doing this, it was really ......"
Wang Fu glanced at Sun Zhiye, who was shouting at his subordinate Sun Zhiye with a sip of "Cantonese" in his spare eyes, Chen Shuyang immediately understood what he meant, in front of outsiders, this distinction between the top and bottom cannot be abolished, otherwise it will fall into the eyes of those who have a heart, and it may become a crime.
"Big boss, big ......"
At this moment, Chen Shuyang's words were interrupted, and Li Erhu ran over in a hurry, and when he saw the big boss and the master together, he immediately changed his name.
"See Master Shi Shuai and Master Brigade Marshal for humble duties!"
Li Erhu, who knelt down on one knee, shouted very loudly, as if he was afraid that people would not hear his shout, while shouting, he glanced at Sun Zhiye, among the five brigades in the front and back of Chen Shishuai, most of the soldiers were Hubei natives, and only Sun Zhiye had "from the dragon's skill" and "the old man of Guangdong Province", and he raised his nose to the sky in front of everyone. Cantonese dialect "Insult!"
"Excuse me!"
After Li Erhu got up, Chen Shuyang asked urgently.
"How? How is the defense of Huangzhou now? ”
The reason why Chen Shuyang led more than 2,000 subordinates to this place this time was to seize Huangzhou City on the order of King Yi, but with less than 3,000 people to capture Huangzhou, Chen Shuyang did not have that confidence at all, not to mention that among the more than 2,500 people, except for Wang Fu's more than 200 people, most of the others were old and young, but they were all people who were forcibly recruited into the camp in Wuchang.
"My lord, after my Heavenly Army captured Wuchang, the Qing Demons of Fangyuan Baili near here are all terrified of my Heavenly Army, and the reason why the Huangzhou prefect sent people to guard this bridge is not for the defense of the city, but for the ability to escape in advance......"
Li Erhu was ordered to go to the capital city of Huangzhou yesterday to investigate the reality of the defenders, and the result was completely different from the initial expectation. Not only are there not many officials and soldiers in this Huangzhou city, but even the magistrate is losing his heart.
“…… However, in the past few days, that man has exhausted the coolies and people in the city, and organized them into a brave regiment, and in the view of humble duties, the soldiers are noble and fast, and our army immediately waved the Huangzhou City ......"
In the filthy cage, Xu Dayong, who was covered in bruises, lay on a pile of straw, interrogated several times, his appearance would be unbearable, but he never came to the end, no, Fang had just passed the court, and was tortured again, until now, his intestines have been repentant, why did he run away?
If you don't escape, how can you be caught by the brave training of Huangzhou on the way to escape, and as a result, you will be regarded as a spy of the Taiping Army, and you will be severely tortured, as for the silver ingots, you will return to the domain.
"Grandma, I don't know what they're trying to ask?"
Xu Dayong, who was tortured, scolded in his heart, but now he was so painful that he couldn't speak, and he even breathed more than he breathed. Seeing that he seemed to be dying, the brothers who were captured with him were all beaten to death because they could not stand the torture, and now he began to burn with bruises all over his body.
When the burn came, the man was soon so confused that he couldn't figure out the situation at all, and even though he was in a cage, he was still there groaning and saying:
"Water, water, give me water to drink!"
In a daze, Xu Dayong vaguely listened to the chaos in this prison, as if someone had broken into the prison, and then only heard a burst of cheers over there, it was the prisoners in the prison who cheered there.
"Greetings to the ...... of the Heavenly Army"
The Heavenly Army, who is the Heavenly Army?
In a daze, Xu Dayong only heard that someone seemed to be talking over there,
"I, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, will never treat everyone badly! I also ask you brothers to join us to kill the demons......"
Who's talking? How could such a thing be said in this prison? Just then, he heard someone say it again.
"With my heavenly brother? Oh, in there? ”
There seemed to be someone walking up to him, and then he heard the man yelling and swearing.
"Qing Demon really deserves to be killed, how can he be so ruthless!"
After a while, he was thirsty and unbearable, only to feel a cold lip, it seemed that someone was feeding him water, a few mouthfuls of cool water under his stomach, Xu Dayong finally recovered a little sense, when he opened his eyes, he saw the red cloth tied to the head of the person who helped him feed water, only to feel a burst of shock, only to feel that his eyes were dark when he was hard to find alive, and the person fainted......
