Changsha Prefecture, Youxian County

This county is not far from Hengzhou, the capital of Xingdu. Pen ~ fun ~ Ge www.biquge.info county is close to Youshui, from the waterway to the northwest for more than 140 miles, in Leijiabu into the Xiangjiang River, and then along the Xiangjiang River to the southwest direction of more than 100 miles is the capital Hengzhou.

Although the waterway is relatively convenient, it is not a critical place, and there is not much value for the soldiers, so Youxian was fortunate to avoid many military disasters. Even at the beginning of last year, when the Qing army went south to Xingdu and Hunan was full of smoke, Youxian was safe and sound.

In the afternoon of this day, the people on duty at the north gate of the county were yawning, but they vaguely saw more than ten horsemen in front of them coming towards the city gate wrapped in smoke and dust, with horses' hooves rolling, mixed with shouting and scolding.

The people were shocked at first, but when they could see it more clearly, they were all relieved, and they were all full of helplessness.

It didn't take long for the dozen horsemen to run near the city gate. Some of the people who were about to enter the city screamed and fled as if they had seen tigers, leopards, and jackals. Those who were a little slower in their hands and feet all ate horsewhips without exception.

"Fuck you, you still want to run! Run to the edge of the sky, grandpa can catch you back! The leader of the caravan, a young man in armor and a scarf, rode forward and cursed triumphantly backwards.

The leader of the Minzhuang squad by the city gate thought that he was scolding the people on the side of the road, but after a while, he found that there was a man dragging behind the horse team, and the man was tied to the back of the horse with his hands tied, his mouth covered, and he was covered in bruises and staggering.

"The Major General is back?" The head of the Minzhuang team nodded and said hello.

The "young general" on horseback glanced at him, didn't take him seriously, and directly led people into the city on horseback.

The head of the squad put a hot face on the cold buttocks, and he was bored with himself, and retreated to the side stupidly.

The young man called "Major General" was none other than Huang Qiying, the son of Huang Chaoxuan, the chief military officer stationed in Youxian.

The Huang Dynasty proclaimed self-respect and hegemony, and Huang Qiying was also a fox and a fake tiger, running rampant everywhere. Father and son work together to poison the place and make the people around them talk about it.

Of course, there are people who can control these two fathers and sons. In the Xiangbei War at the beginning of last year, the Xuan Department of the Huang Dynasty was also ordered to go to war, but its officials and soldiers plundered Changsha City after the war, and finally were arrested by Pang Yue and severely punished, more than 1,000 people were directly executed, and Huang Qiying was also beaten half to death with a military stick.

However, as the so-called scar forgets the pain, after being the earth overlord for so long, Huang Qiying has almost forgotten all about that unhappiness.

Huang Chaoxuan's headquarters was stationed in the swallow's nest north of the county seat, but he himself usually lived in the city, where he had a mansion and hundreds of families guarded by him.

The county seat is not big, and Huang Qiying arrived at the door of his mansion not long after entering the city. When the family came up to lead the horse, he caught a glimpse of the carriage parked at the door, and asked casually, "Who is here?"

"Back to the young marshal, it's still the same steward Li from last time, and the big marshal is receiving him."

Huang Qiying has some impressions of this Li steward, and he has been here a few times before, and it is said that he is working for a wealthy merchant in Changsha City, and he often stops or transfers goods in Youxian County when he trades between the north and the south. This person is also sleek, and every time he comes to Youxian County, he will come to visit the county order and Huang Chaoxuan with heavy gifts, in order to seek peace in the trade route.

Hearing what Jia Ding said at this time, Huang Qiying casually said "oh" and didn't take it to heart. After entering the gate, he happily whipped the dying man who was dragged behind the horse with a horsewhip: "Watch this bastard strictly, and then tell him to run away, Lao Tzu wants your life!" Isn't his family quite wealthy? Let him redeem his house with money. Fuck it, make Lao Tzu unhappy, and want to leave? There are no doors either! ”

That person is a talent in this county, he is famous, his family also has a lot of land in the countryside, and he can be regarded as having some status in Youxian County, but it is not enough to meet villains like Huang Qiying. A few days ago, just because he had a conflict with Huang Qiying on the street, he was arrested and tortured in every way.

The family members have long been surprised by this kind of thing, and even claim that it is.

Huang Qiying threw the horsewhip to the family next to him with hatred, and walked towards the courtyard where he lived with a smile. Recently, he got a strange woman from somewhere, and all kinds of skills are excellent, especially the skill of the, and he is still not happy to be alone with him all day long. It's only been a long time since I saw it, and I can't hold it anymore.

…………

However, Huang Qiying's good deeds did not last long. After being alone with the strange woman for less than two quarters of an hour, a family member shouted outside the window: "Young marshal, the big marshal called you over!"

If it was a good thing to be disturbed by others, he might even have the heart to kill, but in front of his famous father, he still didn't dare to be presumptuous, complained and got dressed, and went out step by step.

…………

"Dad, are you looking for me?" Huang Qiying said respectfully.

Huang Chaoxuan was sitting crookedly on the chair, looking at the floor tiles in a daze with a gloomy face, and did not react for a while.

Huang Qiying didn't know what he was thinking, and shouted again anxiously: "Father, are you looking for me?"

Huang Chaoxuan raised his head at this time, staring at him gloomily, until he saw Huang Qiying in the heart, and then said, "Have you been comfortable recently?"

"Also...... It's okay, Dad, why did you suddenly remember to ask this? ”

"Enough comfort, then it's time to get down to business." Huang Chaoxuan sat up straight and twisted his neck, "From tomorrow, you will move to live in the Swallow's Nest camp, supervise the soldiers' drills, and by the way, learn more about camp affairs from General Guo." ”

"Huh?" Huang Qiying was a little caught off guard, she had been living comfortably recently, but she was far from being comfortable, and she didn't want to go to the barracks to suffer such a bird crime.

"What?! Don't want to go?! Huang Chaoxuan roared angrily without warning.

Huang Qiying hurriedly knelt on the ground: "No, no."

"Bastard thing! It's not a cockfight or a dog fight all day long, or a woman tossing and turning the bed on that bit of! Always messing around like this, do you think your life is too long?! ......" Huang Chaoxuan has always hated this bastard son, and now new anger and old resentment broke out together, and he scolded him.

Huang Qiying was frightened, but she had already experienced this kind of thing, so she lay on the ground and didn't say a word. As the saying goes, he is horizontal, and the breeze blows on the hills; He is strong, he is strong, and the bright moon shines on the river.

Huang Chaoxuan finally got tired of scolding, so he slowly stopped. At this time, Huang Qiying dared to say boldly: "Father ordered, my son will do it." It's just that why did Dad suddenly think of such an arrangement? Is something wrong? ”

Huang Chaoxuan's mouth moved, as if he was about to say something, but in the end he swallowed what he wanted to say, and scolded directly: "You just do it, get out!"

Huang Qiying was relieved and fled from this place of right and wrong.

Looking at the back of his son's escape, Huang Chaoxuan sighed with a gloomy face, some things are too confidential, so it's better not to let this bastard who can't hide his words know.

Suddenly becoming concerned about camp affairs, of course, is not a whim.

And the arrival of Steward Li today is by no means as simple as seeking care.

Although Steward Li is named the steward of a commercial house in Changsha, he is actually a hidden stake buried in Changsha City by the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Originally, he obeyed the orders of Luo Xiujin, the governor of Qinghuguang, but after Luo Xiujin was held accountable and removed from his post and Hong Chengchou took office in Wuchang, he directly obeyed Hong Chengchou's orders.

As early as the beginning of the year, Steward Li got on the line with Huang Chaoxuan through a general surnamed Liu in the Wuchang Green Battalion. The general surnamed Liu served in front of Fu Zonglong's army with Huang Chaoxuan during the Chongzhen period, and the two can be regarded as old acquaintances.

After this line was set up, Huang Chaoxuan continued to receive secret surrender messages, but he never made a substantive reply with the mentality of not seeing the rabbit and not scattering the eagle.

And this time, the price offered over there has been raised again.

"First Class Earl", "Admiral Huguang Military Chief Officer" ...... Huang Chaoxuan couldn't help but be moved when he heard it.

However, this exciting price also requires a bold enough payment. Huang Chaoxuan's ears still echoed Steward Li's words: "...... King Gongshun and King Huaishun will soon wave their armies south, and if the general can capture the puppet Ming Emperor, it will be a great ......"

Rao is Huang Chaoxuan didn't have much loyalty to the stormy Ming court, but he couldn't help but gasp when he heard this.

Rebel against the Ming Dynasty, he will not feel guilty about doing it. But when he committed rebellion and hijacked the Son of Heaven to rebel against the Ming Dynasty, he was beating the drum in his heart.

This has been done before. In the first year of Hongguang, Huang Degong's generals Tian Xiong and Ma Degong held Emperor Hongguang hostage and voted for Duoduo, and the two were also rewarded afterwards, and now one is the governor of Zhejiang and the other is the governor of Fujian.

But the situation at that time was different, at that time, the Qing army had already been killed, and Emperor Hongguang was also in the palm of Tian Xiong and Ma Degong's palms, so it was naturally not difficult for the two to do this. And now if he wants to emulate it, the difficulty is not the same, once he misses, it will be absolutely doomed.

When he was beating the drum in his heart, there was a voice in his heart that encouraged him to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Although with his current strength, it is quite difficult to directly attack Xingdu and capture Emperor Longwu before the arrival of the Qing army, but after the Qing army goes south, he will go to Xingdu in the name of King Qin, and then attack in one fell swoop, there is no chance of success. Moreover, Steward Li also indirectly and implicitly said that at that time, I am afraid that he will not be the only one who is willing to do this move, but there are only so many official titles and titles, and if he misses the opportunity, he will inevitably regret it.

Although this matter is a bit risky, but as Steward Li said, once it is done, he Huang Chaoxuan will be a great hero of the Qing Dynasty to pacify Huguang and even dominate the world, fame and fortune will no longer be lacking, and there is no need to stay in this remote county to be a ridiculous overlord.

The two voices were intertwined in Huang Chaoxuan's heart, making it difficult for him to make a decision for a while, so he could only prepare first and wait for the right time.
