In order to save Shi Mingkai's life as much as possible, including Zhang Xiumei, everyone almost unanimously demanded that the date of the riot be advanced, and Li Hongji and others even put forward a detailed plan to lead the people and horses to forcibly attack Liping Prison and save Shi Mingkai under the pretext of making taxes.
Hou Yutian was silent. Among the personnel of the Heavenly Army who coordinated the armed rebellion of the Miao people in Qiandong this time, although he was the leader on the surface, and Shi Mingkai was his deputy, after all, Shi Mingkai was the emperor of the country, so everyone respected this brave and fearless young general who fought with the army since he was a child. The people of the Yiwang family sacrificed their lives for the country on the battlefield one after another, and if Shi Mingkai had an accident, his heart would be really unbearable.
But no, the rebellion in Qiandong is not a matter of just one place, not only does it involve too wide a wide area, but it is also necessary to choose the best time for the battle situation of the Heavenly Army in Guangxi to achieve a surprise effect, so as not to bring unnecessary pressure and losses to the rebel army after the uprising. To plan the Miao rebellion, it is not simply to use the blood of the Miao brothers to relieve the pressure on the frontal battlefield of the Heavenly Army, but to cultivate a team of Miao people who are good at fighting and build a new Miao Xinjiang, which is the fundamental will of the headquarters.
Seeing that the room was quiet, everyone's eyes were focused on him, Hou Yutian slowly raised his head, "Friends, I understand everyone's psychology very well, and I can't wait to kill Liping immediately." Everyone still doesn't know that General Yan's real name is Shi Mingkai, he is the younger brother of the Wing King of the Heavenly Dynasty and the Emperor of the Kingdom. The reason why he left himself behind in the palace is because you are the real soul of the Miao people, and the riot needs your participation and command. General Shi's behavior has already told everyone that his life is not precious, what is precious is the success of our uprising, and what is precious is the new Miaojiang in the future, and the brothers of all nationalities are like a family Miaojiang. The plan of the insurrection cannot be changed, so let's forget about him first, grasp the one that each person is responsible for, and make as many preparations as possible so that when our battle flag is really raised, whether he is in our midst, or in heaven, I think, he will smile with satisfaction. ”
"It's all my fault, it's all my fault, it's me who let down my guard and let the traitors take advantage of the loopholes." Li Hongji crawled on the wooden table, pounding the table in pain, "He shouldn't have stayed at the end, but he told me to live better than death." I...... I...... I owe him a lifetime! ”
Hou Yutian looked at Li Hongji and lowered his head.
Zhang Xiumei sighed, "Forget it, General Shi sued us with his own actions, he is the real brother of our Miao people." This accident also reminds us that the so-called spirit in the past can kill people. We must take this as a warning and carefully examine everyone around us, even our own mothers and sons cannot believe it casually. ”
Hou Yutian stood up and looked at the people in the room, "Brother Zhang is right, now that the Qing Demon is using various means to win over and divide the people who are close to us, there will be more spies trying to try or are breaking into our interior, we must always be sober." It may be normal for the people to be poor and afraid, and to turn against us or betray us for a little favor. As long as we get things done and let everyone see the actual face of the demons, most of them will come back to our side. However, for those who do not repent, they must be dealt with decisively and must not be soft. ”
In Guangxi, the armies of the Celestial Empire are advancing in a surging manner. Near Guiyang, the momentum of the Yellow Trumpet Army did not decline due to the advance and suppression of Qing troops from all walks of life, but became bigger and bigger.
Just like Hu Linyi sitting on the crater of a volcano, he can only temporarily pin his hopes on Jingzhou opposite. He already knew from the reports again and again that Yang Fuqing, the chief general of the Taiping Army in Xiangxi, was still putting a lot of time and energy into local affairs, and the army did not have any intention of preparing for war, which gave him some comfort. He still seems to have time to deal with the restless Miao people.
His report was actually not accurate, it was more that Yang Fuqing deliberately did it for him, just to reassure him. Yang Fuqing was seated in Jingzhou, but his elite main force had already arrived in Huaihua in the north under the leadership of generals such as Zhu Yidian and Peng Dashun. Not only are preparations for a large-scale offensive ready, but also, in order to cooperate with the offensive of the Celestial Army, a larger-scale Qiandong uprising that has been planned for a long time is already on the verge of breaking out.
Hu Linyi tossed in Liping for a long time, and finally lost to the young Shi Mingkai. He really couldn't understand that a young man in his prime actually refused to eat soft and hard, and in a few days, almost every qiē torture he could think of had been tried on this young man's body, but he couldn't pry open his opponent's mouth. In the face of this iron-clad young man, he lost patience, and he knew that even if he continued to ask, it would be meaningless.
Kill! Hu Linyi personally selected the court site, not in the city, but on the outskirts of the city, on the grounds that it would be convenient for more people to go and watch the execution. He was just lying to deceive outsiders, and his real intention was to expect those chaotic people to come and rob the Dharma field. However, although he arranged according to his own ideas, he did not have a bottom in his heart. He sometimes felt strange that since this Yan Ming was captured, there didn't seem to be any suspicious characters or signs in Liping, and it seemed that Yan Ming didn't have much temptation for those Miao people who had always liked to fight.
He even began to have some suspicions, maybe this Yan Ming was also a very ordinary person, maybe it was those people under his command who deliberately made up how important this person was in order to ask for merit and reward. No matter what he thought in his heart, there was one thing that Hu Linyi firmly believed that the ones who could be sent here would never be some pus-filled grass chickens, they were all characters who should be Ling Chi.
Shi Ming drove off the wooden cage prisoner car, and he stood very reluctantly. The black pants had been stained black and purple with blood, sticking to his body. He angrily shook off the two executioners who were trying to set him up, straightened his long hair that was scattered, and picked a clean part of his sleeve and wiped it on his face.
Twenty paces away, under the thick old tree, dry firewood had been piled up, and there was a wooden barrel on one side, apparently holding oil. Shi Mingkai knew that there would be his final destination. The corners of his mouth twitched, and a smile appeared, and despite the death in front of him, he was the victor.
Shi Mingkai walked towards the end of his life under the gaze of thousands of pairs of eyes that showed various eyes. These twenty or so steps, for him, who is known for his first-class leg and foot kung fu in the army, was originally not a problem, it was just a few leaps. Now, these 20 or so steps are unusually difficult and long for him. In the brutal torture to extract confessions, the executioner slashed an unknown number of knives on his sturdy thighs, which had once frightened his opponents. With every step, his body was agitated, and sweat the size of a bean flowed down his cheeks. But the corners of his mouth kept smiling, and the smile seemed to be so leisurely, as if he was not walking towards the execution ground, but walking in the fields as usual.
"Wait!" Hu Linyi, who was on the beheading platform, shouted and walked down, but he still didn't give up.
Shi Mingkai stopped, looked at the crowd around him, and then looked at Hu Linyi, who looked full of pity, he didn't touch the sweat on his face, he was afraid that the blood stains on his sleeves would ruin his face, his head tilted, "What, do you still have something to say?" ”
Hu Linyi almost ran out of breath and turned his back, why did I have something to say? I still have a long time to go, and I want to talk about it, but it's time for you to say nothing.
"General Yan, I admire your perseverance. To be a human being is to have a fearless momentum. The official still wants to say, I cherish heroes, which is why you should have been Ling Chi, but you changed it to fire. Hu Linyi said, sighing again, "But, young man, I still want to advise you once again, you still have a chance, don't take your life as a child's play." Without life, no matter how beautiful the future is, it will be nothing more than an illusory castle in the sky for you. The official knows that you won't say anything real, or if the official is willing to fulfill you, as long as you say something wrong, the official can give you a chance to regenerate immediately. ”
"Hehe, that's generous." Shi Ming smiled, left Hu Linyi, and then took a step forward, "My hometown is in Guangxi, and it may have been recovered a long time ago." Your hometown is in Hunan, but you can't go back. Don't be too complacent, you won't know the fate of Zeng Guofan's disciples and grandchildren who stubbornly resisted to the end. To be honest, don't look at me like this now, if I'm happy, I'll kick you to death. Hehe, but, I don't want you to die too cheaply, and I want you to suffer slowly, so please do it yourself. Besides, there are more people like you who are killed and kicked to death by Lao Tzu's men, and the number one hundred and ten is always rich, which is already enough......" He struggled to move his steps, smiling, and kept muttering in his mouth.
Finally finished this "long" road, Shi Mingkai stopped next to the pile of dry firewood, he looked up and down, then looked at the executioner beside him, and smiled at the top, "Brother, help me up." ”
The executioner was stunned. This guy would call himself a brother at such a time?
What is Hero? Thousands of pairs of eyes see it very clearly.
Hu Linyi chased after him, looked at Shi Mingkai who was tied to the old tree, and pointed at the blazing torch held high in the executioner's hand, "Young man, you really don't have any regrets?" ”
Regretful? Of course. Shi Mingkai looked at the east from afar, and closed his eyes slightly, if it weren't for the rush to take over this task, he would have gone to study at the Red Army University. If it hadn't been for this accident, in a few days, the vigorous riot would have begun, and he would have been able to leap on his horse and raise his sword, galloping across the majestic battlefield. Now, there is no such opportunity again, and of course he feels great regret.
Let's live in the next life! He moved his feet, spread his legs apart, so that he stood more steadily, his head and back leaned tightly on the trunk of the old tree, and his ears sounded the song that he had heard Chen Yucheng sing in Tianjing, "Forward, forward, forward, our team is facing the sun, stepping on the land of the motherland, and carrying the hope of the nation......
He looked down at Hu Linyi and smiled, "It's impossible to say that you don't have regrets, but it's useless to sue you." I want to thank you for turning me, an ordinary soldier of the Celestial Army, into a great hero. You've worked so me that you've gotten nothing. Honestly, you can't bear any kind of torture that is used on me. Let's compare, I'm a hero, right? After speaking, he raised his head, looked at the black crowd, and raised his voice, "Standing here, I am strict and do have regrets, the compatriots of all ethnic groups here treat me like brothers, but I can't personally lay down a peaceful world for everyone, I apologize to my fathers and fellow villagers!" However, rest assured, as long as the Celestial Empire is there, the days of peace will come. Everyone's eyes widen and watch, today here burns me, tomorrow here is Manchu and his dog minions. Long live the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom! ”
The flames rushed and took a young life with them. He went satisfied, for he saw his companions in the crowd, and from their eyes he knew that what he had not done, his companions would continue. He went with a charming smile, his soul forever integrated into the land under his feet, leaving Qiandong with a story that could never be told......
