The three-storey Yangzhou restaurant looks very quaint, Luo Jian has seen a lot of ancient towns before, and he doesn't care about it, but Liu Weimin and Wang Qiang are looking around all the way, looking very interested.

When he walked to the front of the building, he saw Shi Kefa and a group of civil and military officials waiting downstairs, Luo Jian stepped forward and clenched his fists and said, "There is a labor inspector and you who have been waiting for a long time." ”

stepped forward and pulled Shi Kefa aside, and whispered to him: "We have to hurry up for dinner in the evening, I have an idea, I will invite the Inspector, Ren Futai, and General Liu to my residence to discuss together, I want to do this early tomorrow morning!" ”

Shi Kefa wanted to ask what was the matter, but when he saw that Luo Jian didn't want to say it when there were many people, he held back and answered, "Okay, let's go upstairs, and then introduce the officials at the table." ”

When I walked to the second floor, I saw three large round tables in the hall, and some dishes had already been put on the table, which looked very rich. There were many civil and military generals standing on the side, Luo Jian estimated that he was not qualified to go down to greet him, and there were a few people wearing foreign clothes that he had seen on TV before, and it was estimated that they were the rich businessmen in Yangzhou that Ren Minyu said.

Shi Kefa led Luo Jian and the three of them to the middle table, and wanted to lead Luo Jian to the main seat, but Luo Jian resolutely refused, and finally let Shi Kefa sit on the main seat, and saw that everyone at the main table sat down, and the other two tables also sat down.

After everyone sat down, without waiting for Shi Kefa and the others to speak, Luo Jian stood up first, looked around, and said loudly: "Hello everyone, my name is Luo Jian, today the three of us were arranged by God to come to Yangzhou City, and join hands with the soldiers and civilians in the city to resist the Qing captives. Today, thanks to the hospitality of the elders in Yangzhou, Luo Jian and the others are not very grateful. There is something to do next, time is very tight, today I will take the lead, first say a few words. ”

Picking up the water cup on the table and taking a sip of water, Luo Jian continued: "Everyone may have heard about the things outside the city today, although the three of us killed more than 100 enemies and destroyed the Qing Hongyi cannon, but we should be soberly aware that the Qing soldiers outside the city have no signs of retreating, and the situation in Yangzhou City is still very critical, so today is not the time to have a good drink with everyone." I came here today to attend the banquet mainly to get to know you, the strength of the three of us is limited, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Yangzhou united, the strength is huge, this is the strength and source of our victory over the strong enemy outside the city, I believe that as long as we work together, unity, there is no enemy can not be defeated! ”

Raising his head and glancing at the general's table, Luo Jian's voice became a little stern, "Most of our civil and military officials are determined to resist the enemy and swear to live and die with Yangzhou City. However, there are still a very small number of civilian and military generals, they are frightened by the seemingly powerful Qing captives outside the city, and they are afraid to death, they are not thinking about how to defend Yangzhou City, but thinking about how to escape out of the city, and even surrender to the Qing captives. What I want to say is that a dignified Chinese son, a seven-foot man, should stand up to the sky and the earth, for the sake of the water and soil that gave birth to me and raised me, and for the thousands of years of Chinese civilization, how can he be a slave of the Manchu Qing Dynasty? With a rat's tail on the back of his head, how can he have the face to see his ancestors after death? Emperor Taizu said well: 'Ninety-nine steel knives in hand, kill all Hu'er before stopping.' I am a man, what is a Tartar as a horse and a cow? ’”

Speaking of this, Luo Jian saw that there were people at several tables who lowered their heads, knowing that there were not a few civilian, military generals who were not strong-minded, and thought that he had to add some more materials.

"We call the scum who betrayed our Han nationality traitors, such as Wu Sangui, Hong Chengchou, Feng Quan, Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming and others are typical traitors, Geng Zhongming has been arrested by us yesterday, I suggest that after the siege of Yangzhou is lifted, a public trial meeting will be held to try and punish him with the most severe punishment for his betrayal of the country and the enemy, and the same will be done for other traitors in the future. We are going to make a big pillar and engrave their names on it, and this pillar is called the 'Pillar of Shame of History', so that they will be spurned forever by future generations! At the same time, we must erect a big monument to engrave on the monument the heroes who have made outstanding contributions to our country and nation, and we must also build a martyr's shrine for the heroic martyrs who bravely sacrificed their lives for the country and the nation, so that our descendants can commemorate them forever. Would you rather leave your name on the monument or on the pillar of shame, think! ”

Shi Kefa nodded while listening, feeling that this Luo Jian was arrogant and awe-inspiring, and it really spoke to his heart, although it was in the vernacular, it made people listen to it really uplifting. It's just that he didn't mention the words of serving the imperial court, which made Shi Kefa a little dissatisfied. Not only Shi Kefa, but most of the civilian, official and military generals nodded frequently, except for a few who lowered their heads, and deeply agreed with Luo Jian's words.

Luo Jian picked up the wine glass on the table and said, "Supervisor, everyone, I will only drink this cup today, and when I defeat the Qing Yu, I will drink with you!" After saying that, he raised it and drank it all. Turning to Ren Minyu, he said, "Please introduce everyone present." ”

Ren Yumin led Luo Jian to introduce everyone present one by one, Luo Jian hugged everyone one by one, and everyone got up and saluted back. When introducing Li Qifeng, the chief soldier of Gansu, Luo Jian did not hold his fists like he did to others, but stared at Li Qifeng with a faint look and said, "General Li doesn't seem to be in good spirits?" But are you worried about the big situation of the Qing captive? Hearing this, everyone was in a fog, but Luo Jian and Li Qifeng understood it in their hearts.

The brothers Li Qifeng and Zhang Tianlu both surrendered to the enemy in Yangzhou City, Li Qifeng and his supervisor Gao Qifeng wanted to dedicate Yangzhou City directly to Duoduo, but Shi Kefa's prestige did not succeed, and finally led more than 4,000 of his subordinates out of the city to join the enemy, resulting in a great loss of the city's guards, but today I did not see Gao Qifeng.

Luo Jian estimated that this guy had already discussed the matter of defecting to the enemy at this time, and in real history, Li Qifeng went out of the city to join the enemy on April 19.

Unexpectedly, Li Qifeng was a rough man, as soon as he heard Luo Jian's words, he stiffened his neck, raised his head and said to Luo Jian: "The Qing army is strong, Yangzhou is already a lonely city, I don't know how the angels can solve the siege of Yangzhou?" Today I heard that three angels have killed more than 100 enemies, but they have never seen it in person, so I don't know how the angels killed the enemy? ”

Li Qifeng said this, but Wang Qiang was angry, and without waiting for Luo Jian to speak, he stood up and said to Xiao Er standing next to him: "You take all the wine jars to the windowsill and put them away!" ”

Wang Qiang came out and took the rifle from his back, opened the safety and shot at the wine jar, and in the midst of the noise, the row of wine jars on the windowsill were all broken, and the whole room was suddenly filled with the smell of wine.

The gunshots in the room were too loud, which shocked everyone enough, and the generals stared at the rifle in Wang Qiang's hand, all of them showed envy in their eyes, Li Qifeng's face changed drastically, and he said in a sneering voice: "With this divine weapon, the Tartar is not to be feared." ”

Thinking that something would happen at night, Luo Jian didn't ramble anymore, returned to his seat and beckoned to serve the rice, so that Shi Kefa and the others couldn't open their mouths when they wanted to toast. Although everyone felt that Luo Jian had a strange personality and was a little unsophisticated, they had no choice but to eat with their heads bored.

Although the dishes on the table were sumptuous, Luo Jian was not in the mood to taste them, so he filled his stomach with three bites and two bites, and drank a bowl of chicken soup slowly and waited for everyone to finish eating.

Seeing that everyone had almost eaten, Luo Jian stood up and clasped his fists at everyone and said, "Today Meng Lang, if Luo Jian is not familiar with human feelings, he really has something to do tonight, please understand." ”
