Since the end of the river work on the other side, except for the torches lit by the patrol soldiers on the other side, or perhaps the occasional night patrol of the embankment by an official, and the flickering of a string of lanterns in his hand, there has been no great light. But what's going on today? In addition to the bright lights everywhere on the embankment and the busy figures everywhere, the ferry port was obviously also busy.

He hurriedly pulled away the clairvoyance handed by the guard, but after careful observation at the beginning, he unconsciously got goosebumps all over his body. Well? These things, calm and calm, are there dragging and carrying rafts and tossing around?

After a while, however, he became calm again, and with his composure, another mood came to him. Excitement, and the kind of excitement peculiar to the stubborn, bloodthirsty people. Of course, the excitement was only for a short moment.

Alas...... If they really dare to come to the tiger to brush their beards, it's a pity, they are suffocating all over their bodies to grow hair, whether there is a fight or not, when they can fight, they are all *** still shadowless things.

"Drill," Liu Mingchuan put away his clairvoyance and gestured back to Liu Yuehui, his gang leader who had just arrived, "They are also idle and crazy." ”

Liu Yuehui looked at the busy other side, hesitated, and hurried a few steps to keep up with Liu Mingchuan, "Lord Liu, will it be ......?"

Liu Mingchuan didn't even bother to look at his assistant, Gu Zidi put his hands on his back, and walked slowly and methodically, in his words, it was "it took a lot of effort" to finally learn the 'official step' that shook three times, "President Li has already ordered that all ministries strictly abide by the defense of their headquarters and do not cause trouble, so as not to give bandits a mouthful." ”

Liu Yuehui got a big nest neck and gritted his teeth fiercely at Liu Mingchuan's black bear-like back. But he can only defeat himself like this, and he can't say anything no matter how much he has.

This year is only 21 years old, ranked sixth among the brothers, and because of smallpox when he was a child and unfortunately left a piece of marijuana on a square face, Liu Mingchuan, who is more familiar and unfamiliar with people are more willing to call "Liu Liu Mazi", was born in Liu Laowei, Feixi County, Anhui Province, a farmer who has been farming and weaving for generations. His father died of illness at the age of eleven, which made the family more and more difficult, and he had to interrupt his life in a private school, and at a young age he had to work in the fields with his mother in order to earn a living. In those poor days, Liu Mingchuan, who had no way of entertainment, fell in love with playing with guns and sticks with the men in the village. Children from poor families are not afraid of exerting their strength, and naturally, in a few years, he has practiced a good martial arts. At the age of seventeen or eighteen, not to mention the ordinary people who are tens of miles away, even those who have taught him martial arts, one by one, they are all under his heavy fists and thick legs, and they are all beaten all over the ground looking for teeth, and they are willing to bow down.

All those close to Liu Mingchuan said that the only person who could be called Liu Mingchuan to worship at that time was Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty. They all remember that Liu Mingchuan likes to climb the big hidden mountain in his hometown, holding a big knife in his arms and looking up to the sky and shouting, "The husband should be born with a knight, and die with a curse!" ”

Why did Liu Ming fall in love with Liu Bang? In fact, it is very simple, they are all surnamed Liu, and almost except for the position of "pavilion chief", there is also a big bowl of wine and a large piece of meat because of the forced livelihood, and finally did a big bowl of wine and eat meat, and became a key criminal pursued by the government, as for other aspects, Liu Mingchuan can be completely comparable to Liu Bang back then. That is, they were all the same once the same scoundrels and scoundrels who were scorned by the villagers.

When the vigorous Taiping Heavenly Kingdom movement arose, especially three years ago, when the Taiping Army set the capital Tianjing, and then began to sweep the south, in the face of such a strong Taiping Army's momentum, it is said that she once thought of emulating the twist of Maozhou and joined her.

But it is no coincidence that the book is not written, Liu Mingchuan has sent someone to send a letter to Lai Hanying in Luzhou, but at the juncture of the mountain under which he led the people to sacrifice, he suddenly encountered an inexplicable gust of wind, and the flagpole of the big flag on the altar that was about to catch up with his thigh thickness was blown into two. It is said that it was because of this ominous omen that Liu Mingchuan suddenly "repented", and instead gave up the idea of defecting to the Taiping Army, but accepted the recruitment of Ma Xinyi, who hid far away outside Luzhou City and was the new prefect of Luzhou. The bandits turned into a regimental training loyal to the Qing Dynasty and began to confront the Taiping army.

In fact, the so-called ominous omen of the Great Banner is just a pretext for Liu Mingchuan. In his heart, bandits are happy, but if they really want to do it for the rest of their lives, isn't the beautiful vision of "being born and dying" not the moon in the water? Liu Mingchuan's career as a bandit is just a helpless gamble, and the bet he made is the future Zhao'an of the imperial court. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom seems to be powerful, and it is precisely because the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is so powerful that it has made the Qing Dynasty frightened, and has been stepping on two boats, openly contacting Lai Hanying, but secretly never breaking Liu Mingchuan, who is a brother and brother with Ma Xinyi, finally chose to defend the Qing Dynasty. He clearly realized that the Taiping Army, which had a fierce momentum and a smooth battle situation, would not take him, a small bandit, as a thing, but not in the Qing Dynasty, his team of three or four hundred people was still more or less a dish in the eyes of the Qing Dynasty at the moment. In order to cover the eyes of those who were willing to defect to the Taiping Army, he played a trick in which the flag of the Great Silk Army was blown off.

Liu Mingchuan, who surrendered to Ma Xinyi, really "lived up to expectations". He was fierce and good at fighting, and he had a bitter hatred for the Taiping Army, although he did not have any more achievements under the general trend of the Qing army in northern Anhui, but it still attracted the attention of Li Hongzhang, who was also holding a regimental training in his hometown at that time.

At a time when loyalty and righteousness saved the army and expanded the army, and when the fierce generals and warriors were urgently needed, Li Hongzhang had no intention of forgetting the bloodthirsty Anhui townsman on the battlefield. And Liu Mingchuan began to admire this noble township who could not only be appreciated by the queen mother, but also valued by foreigners, regardless of Ma Xinyi, who had been promoted to the governor of Shandong, repeatedly retained and made a wish, he plunged into Li Hongzhang's arms and became a member of the loyal and righteous rescue. Under the support of Li Hongzhang, he also became a standard man and enjoyed the grace of the Qing Dynasty court.

Liu Mingchuan, who returned to the official residence of the standard, changed into plain white pajamas and pants, and watched "Spring and Autumn" with candles on the table, although he was too young and did not have a bare hair under his chin, but he still consciously or unconsciously, he had nothing to do with a free hand to stroke on it, probably also wanted to show the style of Wu Shenggong to practice "Spring and Autumn" at night.

Since entering the Zhongyi Salvation **, especially after getting the current high position that he didn't even dare to think about in his sleep, Liu Mingchuan's life is not as good as he used to imagine. Loyalty and righteousness are not only an army, but also a big officialdom, and every move will attract criticism from those who are angry with him.

Especially in the right-wing clique commanded by Ruilin, due to the disagreement with Li Hongzhang, Ruilin has reached the point of deep hatred for officials from Anhui, and the top and bottom naturally follow suit. And in this "Jinnan Town" in the Ruilu area, which is dominated by Hunan bureaucrats, far away from the protection of his mentor Li Hongzhang, Liu Ming's fax is a little lonely and invisible, even if he raises his hand and throws his foot, there is a feeling of walking on thin ice.
