Chapter 758: A Strange Clientele
The young man in black suddenly stood up from his chair.
"Have you forgotten the king's will? You were the most trusted person of King Zun back then, don't you want to avenge King Zun? ”
"Obey the king's will? Hehe, I know him best, if the person who surrendered that day was not a murderous monk and demon head, he was only afraid that he would have already surrendered......" The words spoken by her mother made Ouyang Yan confused at all, but the guest's complexion changed greatly because of this.
Ouyang Yan didn't know that her mother's words told a story about King Zun that was rarely known back then.
The first team was Ma Ronghe, the second team was Ni Longhuai (Ni Dwarf), the third team was Fuwang Chen Decai, the fourth team was Hu Wang Lan Chengchun, and the fifth team was Zunwang Lai Wenguang. Local erosion has nothing to do with these people, and the more the head is cut, the greater the credit, so there has always been a notoriety for killing and surrendering). Ying Han received the surrender letter brought by the first team of Ma Ronghe and originally intended to accept it, but unexpectedly, the wing commander under the monk Ge Renqin (when the cadre army sent out the army, the commander was divided into left and right wings, each with a wing commander) Enze knew about this, this person was greedy for merit, and instigated the monk Ge Renqin to surrender first, and killed Lan Chengchun and all the other Guangxi surrenderers, but when he heard that the surrenderee became the monk Ge Renqin's Fuwang Chen Decai committed suicide by poisoning, Lai Wenguang, who was walking at the end, immediately turned around and pulled a few twisted troops behind his troops to slip away.
"King Zun has not surrendered until his death! This is obvious to all in the past! The guest's voice sharpened, "The head of the monk and demon was defeated and beheaded by King Zun." It's all been sung by the big guys to the present! Where did you hear this nonsense? You don't understand. We, brothers. I can't rest with you! ”
"You were just a child back then, how much have you seen the real truth?" Facing the anger of the young man in black, the mother just said lightly, "If he hadn't wronged a good person and killed King De selfishly, I wouldn't have left him." ”
At that time, the Shengping Heavenly Kingdom had already perished, and the goal of the Shengping army, which had fled into the northwest region, had been lost. There are more than one people who want to surrender, and Lai Wen's surrender is not deeply responsible, but Lai Wenguang, who actually submitted the surrender document, slandered and killed his comrade-in-arms Tang Rirong on trumped-up charges, which is really unrelievable.
"Tang Rirong fornicated with the demon, what's wrong with King Zun killing him?" The young man in black seemed to know a lot about the past, and at this time he was arguing with the old-timers in front of him.
"He has deceived others, and many years later he will still convince you juniors, but he can't fool me......" the mother sighed, "and he killed King De." Not for anything else, just to want the front team of the Wing Palace......"
Her thoughts. It seems to have returned to many years ago, the days of bloody rain......
The front team of the Wing Hall was originally the backbone of the Wing King Shi Dakai, serving as the vanguard to march into Sichuan, but on the way it learned that Shi Dakai's main force was destroyed in the Dadu River, so he had to go north with all his strength to gather the remnants of another Wing Hall - the original Lai Yuxin Zhongqi, and join the Shengping Heavenly Kingdom Expeditionary Force of Fuwang Chen Decai. Because this strong force was brave and good at fighting, and it was transferred to thousands of miles, it was greatly welcomed by Tianjing, and the leader Gu Tianyu Tang Rirong was promoted to King De at once, and Lai Wenguang and others were on an equal footing. The Northwest Shengping Army went east to rescue Tianjing, and after the defeat of Moshidu, Huang Zhongyong of the Central Banner surrendered to the local troops of the Qianjun Army, but Tang Rirong of the front team swore not to surrender, and broke through to Lai Wenguang, Zhang Zongyu and other departments.
It was such an indomitable unit that had gone through ups and downs, but when the Dongqi Army entered Hubei, won many battles, and its strength grew from tens of thousands to nearly 200,000, it was killed by Lai Wenguang on the charge of "passing money officers and soldiers".
Of course, people will change, and those who refused to surrender back then may not be willing to surrender in the future, and Qiu Yuancai, the general of the Shengping Army, and Li Yun, the leader of the Silk Army, who refused to surrender in Moshidu, later surrendered to the cadres. It is hard to imagine that Tang Rirong, who did not surrender when he fought alone in Sichuan and did not surrender when he was exhausted in crossing the mountains and rivers in Moshi, would "pay the officers and soldiers" when he won several battles in a row and the situation was very good.
What's even more interesting is that none of the "officers and soldiers" who were "transferred" knew that there was such an "uprising defector", they just inexplicably recorded this strange incident, and then "reasonably imagined" -- that Tang Rirong probably pondered about surrendering to Cheng, but he was destroyed before he had time, right?
His motive for falsely accusing Tang Rirong, as several of his enemies had speculated, was to seize the command of this friendly army that was brave and good at fighting, but always flaunted the banner of the Wing Temple, and to increase his strength, which was dwarfed by several leaders of the Wing Army. Although his "deception" was successful for a while, but this kind of "rush" was chilling, after the death of Tang Rirong, the battle of the Yinlong River in Jingshan, the Silk Army and the Xianghuai Army were divided into three ways to fight, in the "first half" when the Silk Army had the upper hand, Niu Luohong on the left side defeated the right side of the opponent, outflanked Liu Mingchuan's flank, and Ren Zhu on the right side defeated the left and middle two roads of the Huai Army more independently, Lai Wenguang's southern team and Li Yunbu of the Silk Army who assisted in the battle, but they were never able to defeat the enemy in front of them; In the "second half", Bao Chao of the Hunan army suddenly killed, the left and right sides were still fighting hard, but Lai Wenguang's middle was about to collapse at the first touch, which eventually led to the defeat of the battle.
This big battle, which won first and then lost, fell short, was the node of the army's prosperity and decline, and the key to the failure of the node was the weakness of Lai Wenguang's combat effectiveness. The annexation of friendly neighbors with fire eventually led to a decline in combat effectiveness, and Lai Wenguang's "deception" of his own people finally lifted a stone and shot himself in the foot (interestingly, Lai Wenguang was also "deceived": in his confession, he was very indignant at Li Xiucheng's "wanton attack on Shanghai regardless of the king's orders" and the destruction of "diplomatic relations" with foreigners, and scolded him, which was exactly the same as Hong Wenxuan's statement, obviously, this courtier, who was born and was a "relative" of Hong Wenxuan's grassroots intellectuals, accepted Hong Wenxuan's statement, Of course, he did not know that he had been "deceived" -- the plan to attack Shanghai was originally proposed by Hong Wenxuan himself, and he was going to "buy 20 steamships to attack Wuhan" after the battle was fought, and the so-called "Western diplomats" who went to Suzhou to "make peace" were actually just four British and one French missionaries. And at least 2 of them are friends and acquaintances of Hong Wenxuan. He personally went to Suzhou to meet with Hong Wenxuan, who was a member of five "diplomats". After returning to Tianjing, he continued to proclaim that "foreign officials make peace", and his psychology was quite gloomy. Judging from Lai Wenguang's reaction, his words have at least deceived many "mothers" like Lai Wenguang, the "mother's family" of the king Hong Huoxiu).
Hearing her say the word "Wing Hall Front Team", the young man in black finally stopped talking, sighed, and lowered his head.
"It's all old things from the past, and it's not glorious to bring it up now. Let's not talk about it. Mother looked at the Zunwang long knife in her hand, this long-handled knife is said to be the knife in the folk song "Zunwang is three feet high, and the officers and soldiers fly away when they see it", but the young man in black didn't know that this knife was from the hand of the woman in front of him.
"I can help you unlock its secrets." As soon as the mother said this, the young man in black raised his head suddenly.
"It's just that I'm wondering, what are you going to do with it?" Mother looked at the young man in black, and her eyes suddenly became sharp, as if she wanted to see him through.
"Of course, it's the great cause of restoring the kingdom of heaven!" The young man in black replied unequivocally, but his mother seemed to hear something in his tone.
"The great cause of the kingdom of heaven? Hehe. It's better not to say this kind of thing to me. The mother sneered. The young man in black wanted to argue again, but he waved his hand to his mother to stop.
"I can help you get the secret treasure, but after you get it, do whatever you want, don't come to me again, and don't endanger my husband and children, otherwise ......" The majesty shown by her mother at this moment actually made Ouyang Yan feel that it was difficult to breathe.
"I understand that as long as you help us solve this secret, we will have nothing to do with your whole family, and no matter what happens in the future, we will not disturb each other again." The young man in black replied dryly.
"Well, take this knife as an oath, and we will make a decision." Mother said.
"Then I'll wait for good news." The young man in black arched his hand to his mother, got up and wanted to leave, but his mother looked at his back and suddenly asked, "Did you do the assassination of the thief of the Kong family in the capital that day?" ”
"Yes." The young man in black stopped, hesitated for a moment, and said, "But it didn't work, and I escaped for the dog thief." ”
"It's been so many years, and you're still doing things so recklessly, why don't you just learn your lesson?" The mother let out another deep sigh.
"This time it's the leader's intention, and he doesn't intend to succeed, he just wants to divert the attention of the Dog Court from paying attention to our true purpose." The young man in black replied.
"That's the case...... "Mother's gaze returned to the Zunwang sword in her hand. When she looked up again, the young man in black had disappeared.
"Come out, Yan'er, go and call your father."
"Hey!"
When Ouyang Yan came to the front room, she found that her father was in a daze with a drawing, and on the small table in front of her, there was a large silver ingot.
Seeing Ouyang Yan coming, the father came back to his senses, carefully put the drawings in his arms and put them away, took the big silver ingot and followed his daughter into the inner hall.
"Another big customer?" At a glance, my mother saw the twenty-two silver ingots in my father's hand, and she knew what was going on, and smiled bitterly, "What day is it today...... There are so many big customers! ”
"This time it's an old acquaintance, the order of Lao Wu of the capital's 'Fusang Building', I paid a deposit of twenty taels of silver first, and the work was more urgent, just one day, and after it was completed, there was an honorarium of eighty taels of silver." As the father spoke, he took the drawing from his bosom and unfolded it on the small table in front of his mother, "Look, it's just that, but it's made of steel." ”
"Isn't this what a foreign gun looks like?" The mother glanced at the drawings and asked a little strangely, "He wants to shoot a solid iron gun?" ”
"Yes, but this is with a gun blade, and the gun blade should also be cast into one with the gun body, wider and thicker." My father gestured to the drawings and said, "It looks like a foreign gun, but it's actually a spear gun." ”
"This gun doesn't look like a gun, and a knife doesn't look like a knife, what is it for?" The mother was even more amazed.
"Hey, don't look at this thing's weird shape, but it's a good weapon!" "It's very easy to hold and stab, it's easy to use, it's a moderate weight, and it's made of stainless steel, so it's much stronger than a foreign gun with a bayonet!" ”
The mother listened to her father's words, looked at the drawings carefully, and then looked at the Zunwang sword in her hand. He nodded thoughtfully.
"I see! Little Swallow! This weapon is the peerless weapon I've always wanted to make! I'm going to make it a success! Do you know? Lao Wu helped the person who placed the order. It's going to be used to test the martial arts champion! My father turned from excitement to excitement. When he spoke, he danced with his hands.
"But...... Time is too tight, only one day! The mother looked a little worried.
"It's okay! It's just an all-nighter at most! Besides, this time I'm about to show off my means! Little Swallow! You must help me! ”
"Alright! Hurry up and prepare the materials! ”
"The materials are ready-made! Lao Wu sent three broken swords, all of which were big swords (someone's trophies), and said that they would be used, melted and reforged, if they were not enough, let's add some more, and calculate the extra money! ”
"That's good. Melt it now! Yeon'er! Go and call Xiao Baolai, hurry up and prepare the stove! ”
"Hey!"
