Chapter 37: The End of the Year (Part 2)
Chapter 37: The New Year (Part 2)
"That's nature!" Shalaban frowned, and then patted his chest to make a statement. Brother Han Qing rest assured, in the future, the life of a certain family will be yours. As long as you can take revenge on the prime minister, you will hide a few words in your stomach, and you will let someone cut his tongue now, and he won't frown! β
"Gong's departure from the mountain this time is completely for the sake of the two Shaodong!" Gong Bosui's reaction was a little sluggish, and he said with a sigh. "Alas, since the imperial court is still not at ease with us, why should Gong be the lonely loyalty of the last days? Brother Han Qing said to do what to do, Gong Mou is the only one who looks forward to you! Gong's mind is the same as that of General Shalaban, as long as he can avenge the prime minister and keep the two young owners safe! β
"Secrecy definitely comes first. If the king does not secret, his ministers do not lose his body, and if he does not secret, he will become harmful! Li Hanqing dropped a few words of his schoolbag first, and then continued to add, "The two Shaodong have little experience, so Li doesn't dare to let them know about his thoughts now." β
"As it should be!"
"Gong understands!" Shalaban and Gong Bosui looked at each other and nodded one after another.
"In addition, there are a few things that need to be bothered by the two brothers!" Seeing that the two of them were willing to use it for themselves, Li Hanqing was in a very happy mood. After thinking about it, he continued to command in a low voice, "First, it is to assist Li to control this strange army." Ping Suduo went down for a walk, so that everyone felt that we were all of the same heart with them, and we didn't want to use them! You see that Zhu Butcher's side, all day long, he talks about the equality of officers and soldiers, but in fact, it is just a show, so that the brothers below are willing to work hard. But after a few years of perseverance, the effect is extraordinary. The elite of the hundred battles under the command of the prime minister back then couldn't stand more than 30% of the battle losses. And on the Zhu butcher's side, any team pulled out, they could achieve nearly half of the casualties without spinning! β
"That's true, Brother Li didn't say it, I almost ignored it later!!" The eyebrows of Shalaban and Gong Bosui furrowed, and they repeatedly tasted Li Hanqing's words, and then nodded slowly.
The enemy is often the best teacher, as long as you are willing to put down your body and learn. According to the memories of the two of them, the resilience of the Huai'an army on the battlefield is indeed extraordinary. At that time, when it was not fledgling, it was able to withstand the 300,000 troops under Huai'an City. It's not just the sharpness of the artillery and the danger of the terrain. Those Dutou and Baihu who took the initiative to lead the team to launch a counterattack, and those low-level soldiers who died with the Yuan army with grenades, all left an extremely deep impression on people.
"Second, what needs the help of the two brothers is to secretly connect the old prime minister of the past, so that they can also know that we have not forgotten the prime minister's enmity! Let them do as much as possible, and make it easier for the Protector Army! Li Hanqing's words continued to come from his ears, faintly carrying the smell of order.
Gong Bosui and Shalaban did not feel offended at all, and agreed very happily.
"Okay, this matter is wrapped up in Gong!"
"There are also some old brothers who were transferred to the forbidden army that day, and a certain family took the opportunity of the New Year to go to them for a drink!"
Li Hanqing was happy again in his heart, arched his hand, and continued to add, "Third, this is also what Li is doing." It is to recall the benefits of the Great Yuan Dynasty and incite hatred against the Zhu butchers. This is not just to be done in the Protector Army. Inside and outside the capital, some people must also be sent. The difference is that it doesn't have to be as obvious as it is in the military, just find something subtle and subtle. You have to believe that not everyone has a good memory, and if you tell the lie a few more times, you will naturally become a tiger! β
"This?" Gong Bosui and Sha Laban were stunned again, and their eyes showed a little hesitation.
Li Hanqing's previous methods of inciting hatred, to be honest, the two of them were not very interested. However, the facts that have already happened in the Protector Army prove that although this method is despicable and shameless, the effect is very impressive. It was only a short period of one or two months, and almost everyone in the entire Loyal and Righteous Protector Army hated Zhu Butcher to the core. When they really encounter the Huai'an army on the battlefield, they will naturally be angry with the enemy and create a huge "surprise" for the other party!
"If the two brothers are not optimistic about this strategy, they can find a few cronies to try it first. It won't take long for the two of you to see the results! Li doesn't treat the people of the world as fools, but there is a saying that heroes come out of troubled times. Now inside and outside the capital, those who are looking forward to fishing in troubled waters are not just our brothers! Guessing what the other party was thinking, Li Hanqing said with a smile. Among the wrinkles on his face, the writing is all vicious.
Heroes emerge from troubled times.
Troubled times mean the disappearance of order, the abolition of the law, and the fact that murder and arson will be difficult to prosecute. But as long as you are open-minded and black-hearted, there are many opportunities to get it for nothing.
Therefore, since the Han Dynasty and the Han Dynasty, there have been many people in the alleys and on the slopes and fields who are eager for the appearance of troubled times. Especially those down-and-out literati who know some words and are less than half a bottle, regard the troubled times as the highest dream of their lives. But he didn't have time to think about it, once the era of great turmoil came, with his half-bottle vinegar skills, would he have more chances to become Zhuge Liang Wang Meng, or would he be more likely to become a starving person on the street?
And what Li Hanqing wants to take advantage of now is the desire of some people to fish in troubled waters. In his opinion, even if the crown prince Aiyu knew that Lidara would repent now, he would immediately rush to the capital with Chakhan Timur and others to join forces with Tuhuan Timur and his son. With the current military strength of the Great Yuan Dynasty, I am afraid that it will not be able to stop the Huai'an army from smashing Huanglong. Therefore, he, Li Hanqing, will never place any more hopes on Dayuan, and will definitely not take the loyal and righteous protector army to the martyrdom of the rotten ship of the Dayuan Dynasty, which is bound to sink. Doing so has no effect other than creating a bunch of unjust ghosts.
What he Li Hanqing wants to do is to make the Huai'an army unable to stand firm even if it can conquer the capital. Let the smoke everywhere north of the Yellow River force the Huai'an army to fight fires everywhere, and they are anxious. Let the Huaiyang Governor's Mansion put a heavy burden on every new piece of land, but it will not get any actual benefits. And once the financial and material resources that Zhu Butcher has accumulated in Huaiyang over the years are exhausted, and the army is divided into pieces, there will naturally be heroes who will see the opportunity and deal a fatal blow to Zhu Butcher.
As for who this hero is, Li Hanqing doesn't care. Whether it is a Mongol or a Han Chinese, it doesn't matter to him. He only hates Zhu Chongjiu and Huaiyang, as long as Zhu Chongjiu can be ruined like Huang Chao, most of his wishes will be satisfied. After Huangchao in history, there were five dynasties and ten kingdoms, and the Later Liang, Later Tang, Later Jin, Later Han and Later Zhou appeared one after another. The surname of the Emperor of the Later Tang Dynasty was Zhu, and the surname Zhu happened to be surnamed Li in the later world.
Of course, he couldn't tell Gong Bosui and Shalaban what he was thinking. Just under the pretext of causing trouble to the Zhu butcher, he asked the two to assist him in inciting hatred and spreading rumors. Gong Bosui and Shalaban were not easy to refute his face, and with a suspicious attitude, they each picked some henchmen to take the medicine according to the prescription. As a result, who would have thought that the effect was several times better than that in the Protector Army. In just a few days a few years ago, inside and outside the capital, there was already a lot of noise. When many people mentioned the Zhu butcher, they were eager to skin it and eat its flesh.
"Rebellious ministers and thieves, everyone will be punished. That Zhu butcher didn't dare to come to the capital, dare to come, our old and young masters must not let him end up well! β
"Do you know why our lives are getting poorer and poorer, it's all Zhu Butcher's trouble. He took all the money away, and everyone naturally didn't have a good life! β
"You know, as soon as the Zhu butcher comes, he will raid everyone's house first. What is valuable and useful, take it to the Huai'an army first. The rest of the Huai'an army is those poor bones outside the city, and then it will be returned to everyone!"
"The surnamed Zhu said that he wanted to kill the people surnamed Dong and Zhang in the north, as well as those Han military families, to avenge Emperor Zhao and Song."
"No, we have to find a way to protect ourselves. If the emperor can't be trusted, we have to rely on the knife in our hands. When the time comes, fight one to make one, and fight two to earn one! β
"That's right! We can't live a good life, and don't let the thieves have a good time! β
"Look at Zhu Butcher is now proud. How was Huangchao back then, and he also entered Chang'an, didn't he fall into disrepute in a blink of an eye? β
"As long as we all work together, then Zhu Butcher is the second Yellow Nest!"
Teahouses, restaurants, streets and alleys, whenever there are many people, heroes and heroes, heroes and heroes, and the sages in the opposition who have never met talents, have begun to spread all kinds of rumors intentionally or unintentionally. scolded the Zhu butcher who made everyone have a bad life for years, and at the same time incited the hatred of the people around him for Huaiyang.
Among these people, more than sixty percent are purely joking and want to add a little blockage to the Zhu butcher. There are also three percent, which belong to the same kind that Li Hanqing expected in advance, and want to make a big profit in the troubled times, so I wish the whole world would be a pot of porridge. The remaining one belongs to the "fire medium" deliberately sent by Gong Bosui, Sha Laban and other well-intentioned people. He knows how to grasp the moment very well, and his whereabouts are erratic, and he never stays in one place for too long.
And the lies they make up are the most exciting. As long as you tell it aloud "inadvertently" in a certain place, you can attract many listeners, and then shed tears of sympathy for their bleak life experience, and grit your teeth at the perverse Huaiyang Governor's Mansion!
"My grandfather was in Haozhou back then, with his bare hands, he cultivated the wasteland. During the day, he planted for others, worked for his own family at night, slept only two hours a day, ate only one meal, got up early and greedy for darkness, moved his mouth and saved his stomach, and worked hard for most of his life to finally earn enough 50 acres of paddy fields, which is regarded as a heel. In my father's life, I caught up with the government and Qingming, and the adults were diligent in government and loved the people, and after 20 years, 50 acres became 200 acres, and a three-in, three-out yard was also built. It's all first-class paddy fields, and you can grow one crop of wheat and one crop of radishes a year. The ridges and the house are surrounded by mulberry trees, and every spring, the mulberry leaves are harvested into the sea. My mother, my aunt, my aunt, four or five people raise silkworms and reel, and they are all too busy! Those days, but sweet honey! β
With a similar Huaiyang accent, a man with an elderly man with a huge birthmark on his face sighed in the tavern.
His words immediately attracted many eyes from the surroundings. This Huaiyang wealth is well-known in the world, and farming, silkworm raising and weaving are the most familiar jobs for the people, so everyone sounds particularly close.
"I remember one summer I was eating mulberries on a tree, and when I was full, I looked down. It's good, it's terrible. The mulberry tree in front of and behind my yard is actually a huge blessing. I quickly climbed down the tree and asked my grandfather. My grandfather said that it was all planted by my father when he first married my mother. He knew that my mother liked mulberry trees and looked forward to the prosperity of the family, so when planting mulberry trees, he deliberately put a blessing word! β
"Lord Lingzun is a man with a heart!"
"Amazing, Lord Lingzun is really a person who knows how to cherish blessings!"
When the surrounding drinkers heard this, they suddenly felt a sense of kinship. They are all ordinary families, husband and wife are harmonious, and the family business is prosperous, who doesn't look forward to it? Only the son of a loser is willing to drink and gamble every day to scold his mother-in-law, and spoil others and spoil himself.
"Then how did you get to the north?" It's just that some people like to get to the bottom of it, look at the dress on the birthmark face and the simple food in front of them, and frown and ask.
The birthmark face waited for this sentence, and immediately patted the table again, and sighed in a low voice. "Alas! Isn't this God who doesn't have eyes? Suddenly, a Zhu butcher popped up, and led a group of bandits and robbers to divide the fields and land, and was stunned to take away the family business that my grandfather and my father had accumulated for two generations! My grandfather and my grandmother didn't come up in one breath, and that night passed. My father and mother went to them with the title deed to reason, but the man of the Zhu butcher unceremoniously picked up the musket, and "Oh, alas, my hard-working father-"
As he spoke, he cried and cried. When the surrounding drinkers heard this, they suddenly remembered their own acres of thin fields and a few thatched houses, and they all had red eyes and gritted their teeth.
The Great Yuan Dynasty had bad luck, and the Zhu butcher was said to be about to call. If things are really as rumored, he only speaks for the homeless and beggars who don't have enough to eat, and when he sees someone who is living a little better, he will take advantage of it, what can everyone do? I'm afraid there is no other choice than fighting for my life!
"My hard-working fatherββ!" Secretly looking around from between his fingers, the birthmark face continued to cry and complain, "I want to be a dealer in Haozhou, several generations of loyal and filial heirlooms, the man is honest, the woman is diligent, why did you suffer from this catastrophe?!" I don't accept it, I came to the emperor to sue the emperor, how do I know that the emperor can't control this wicked person surnamed Zhu! I, who did my old dealer find to provoke someone, God, why don't you open your eyes. Hurry up and open your eyes and take a lookββ! β
The more the drinkers listened, the more uncomfortable their hearts became, and the more they listened, the more they hurt them. I really can't wait to go home immediately, give up most of my family business to buy a few knives and come back, ready to fight to the death at any time.
Just when the crowd was in turmoil, the tavern shopkeeper suddenly came out from behind the desk. walked in front of the birthmark face in three steps and two steps, raised his foot and kicked it, "Get out of your village, don't you carefully pick a place for crying graves?" Roll a few acres of fertile land, and roll you male cultivator and female weaver. You've been squatting in the South Gate Cave since you were a child and begging for food, and you don't even know what your father's surname is, and your name depends entirely on the birthmark on your face. Where did the grandparents come from?! The butcher also robbed your family's property, the total time you can fucking eat in your life will not exceed three months, where can you pull the field? ! Pretending to be a big family all day long, don't say that it doesn't look like it, even if others believe it, can the things that blow out of your mouth become real?! Get out, get out of here. Love where crazy to go crazy, don't be disgusting in Lao Tzu's tavern! β
