Chapter 261: Between Dream and Reality
Zhang Hanwan said to Fan Jin with red eyes: "Military heart? No problem! β
Fart! You're the biggest problem!
Fan Jin scolded secretly, he was full of pain, and simply buried his head in his work, just when Zhang Hanwan came to Qingpu with the recruits from Lantau Island, he found him and wanted to relieve his emotions.
It's just that at this moment, Fan Jin feels that where he is relieving others, he is simply hugging others for warmth.
"I am a member of the Heavenly Punishment Society, my heart and life no longer belong to me, and so is my brother, he testified to his Tao, and I chased my Tao."
Although Zhang Hanwan's words were crisp, his tone was a little floating, and he was still holding a churning question as he spoke.
We know what we are fighting for, and our hearts and lives are not left in the world, but if there is no shadow of ourselves in the world, how can we be sure that all this is true? Everything we have done, the way of heaven we have been martyred, has really changed the world?
Shadows, no, we don't want shadows, we want a shadow to cover ourselves. The heavens behind the fourth brother are too vast, and even the figure with him seems so empty that he can't see clearly. Fourth brother, what we want in the Heavenly Punishment Society is not the entire heaven, we just want a small Valhalla, the hall is in the sky, and the shadow is in the world.
"Your brother's sacrifice is worth it, for the sake of the new world in the future, the new era, the kingdom of heaven on earth mentioned by the General Director, and future generations will remember your brother and pay tribute to every martyr who died in battle."
Fan Jin, who was in a state of mind, did not notice Zhang Hanwan's abnormality, but only comforted him generally, Zhang Hanwan nodded heavily, and thought to himself, can I live to see that moment?
Realizing that Zhang Hanwan had been appeased, Fan Jin took numb steps and patrolled the barracks in the corner of the Qingpu cargo station.
When he came to a barracks and was about to enter, the sound of argument came to his ears, and he stood outside the door and listened quietly.
"It's not just that you can enter the Heavenly Punishment Society just by listening to the words of the General Director, you have to figure out for yourself, why the General Director is so decisive, and what kind of truth there is in this. I see you, I still don't understand the truth in the booklet, the Heavenly Punishment Society is to protect the way of heaven and execute on behalf of heaven. What Heavenly Dao is guarding? Doesn't that make sense? It is the ethics of heaven and earth, so that everyone is happy, everyone is self-interested, and does not harm others......"
In the barracks, Jiang Dedao educated his subordinates, and his younger brother Jiang Qiudao.
"How is this possible?"
Jiang Qiudao was very puzzled, it was just a dream.
"What do you want to do and what you can do, you can't tell the difference? If you raise your gun to aim at the enemy, you may not be able to hit, but you have to raise your gun. β
Jiang Dedao said that he had brought the words from his mentor in the Heavenly Punishment Society, in fact, he was just an apprentice of the Heavenly Punishment Society, and he didn't know much about the truth, but he could still distinguish between what he wanted to do and what he could do.
"I think you should read more of the Legend of the Holy Martial Arts, and it is better to advance the Holy Martial Society."
Looking at the confused eyes of his younger brother and his subordinates, Jiang Dedao felt that he was playing the piano to the cow, and reluctantly gave up. In fact, he also thinks that this way of heaven is not only slim, but also always lacks something to support it, and every time he talks about it, people who don't think about it always feel like they're telling a joke.
"The things that are passed on by the Holy Martial Arts are also the Heavenly Dao that the Heavenly Punishment Society says?"
Jiang Qiudao was very curious about this.
"Of course! You see, Huo Fei rode the wolf Juxu, Yue Fei was loyal to the country, and he had a lot of face! If you can write history books and things that have been passed down for thousands of years, it is naturally the way of heaven. β
The understanding of his subordinates was very superficial, and Jiang Dedao felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say what was wrong.
"Just thinking about what face, I see, killing Tartars is the way of heaven! You see that in this Shengwu biography, the Xiongnu, the Liao, the Jin and the Mongols are all great heroes who kill the Tartars! β
The other one was like Si Wei of the Zheng family, scratching his bald head and saying.
"No, the chief just said that everyone should benefit themselves and not harm others, so there is no tartar in it......"
"That's why I said that the heavenly way of the Holy Martial Arts is to serve the country with loyalty! The relationship between heaven and man is divided according to the country, and those who are not in the country are Tartars! Isn't the reader saying anything...... Those who enter Huaxia are Huaxia, and those who enter Yidi are Yidi? β
"Is the current country Huaxia? Look at you are still dragging that pig's tail, there was no such thing sixty years ago, are you worthy of your ancestors? β
"Yes, which country are you going to report? Great Qing? β
The subordinates shouted loudly one after another, and Fan Jin frowned when he heard it, the Holy Martial Society and the Heavenly Punishment Society, one on the ground and the other in the sky, really couldn't pick it up.
"What's missing?"
Fan Jin faintly grasped something, Shaozhou won a big victory, and the military spirit of the guards was all raised a lot, but there was something missing to hold the military heart, so it seemed very scattered.
Those who understand who they are fighting for, who can't see where their blood is spilled, and who don't understand, are depressed for their comrades-in-arms and their own tombstones, even if they don't think so much, and just bury their heads to make money for their lives, they also want to sell their lives more valuable, not for silver, but for fame.
The rhetorical questions of the guards were only one door away from the answer, and Fan Jin was about to push the door in and get the answer, when the argument of the guards inside shattered his thoughts.
"Those banner people are also Tartars, and the general secretary hasn't said what to do with them?"
"Kill! Kill them all! Not a single one to stay! Back then, they could kill Guangdong with a river of blood! β
"That's tens of thousands, and most of them are not soldiers."
"The flag men should be killed! It doesn't matter if he's a soldier or not! β
was noisy, Jiang Dedao shouted in a low voice.
"Kill or not, it's all out of justice, it's not your personal anger, it's the general secretary who rules on behalf of heaven, not you!"
This admonition has always been implemented in the spirit of the Heavenly Punishment Society, Jiang Dedao said it awe-inspiringly, and his younger brother Jiang Qiudao and his subordinates were silent.
But a series of words "kill", Fan Jin, who heard the door outside, was even more confused, and he couldn't think about the question just now, what would be the fate of Guan Xiaoyu at that time?
He left in despair, and in the barracks, Jiang Qiudao muttered: "Brother, you're right, we're not thieves who only shout for Tianxingdao, but what do you think about ......it now?"
The latter words were as small as mosquitoes: "We are all bandits." β
Guangzhou City, Governor Yamen, Tong Fahai Shi Yi is as upright as a knife, crusading against the prefect of Guangzhou, Maltai.
"There must be someone in us who is a thief! How connected is your daughter? β
"Your daughter, was she really deceived by Li Xi and spread false news for Li Shi?"
"Xiaguan whipped the little girl at home, look at the situation, she shouldn't have this thought."
"Shouldn't there be? She was a weak woman at the beginning, why could she be so enthusiastic and go straight to Li Shi's lair? Where does that mind come from? β
"The lower officials have already detained her at home, and they won't let her make any changes."
Maltai tried his best to argue, but he didn't dare to face the problem directly, he couldn't see through his daughter's mind, and this question was also churning in his heart, why was Ru Xi so enthusiastic before, why did he get the news so smoothly?
"That's it, there is no need to investigate this matter in detail, if you want to chase it, I am afraid that the insider will not be reliable."
Tang You once sighed, after the defeat, Guan Yuanzhong wanted to marry his daughter, and his gang sprinkled their anger on Maltai's daughter, why did this court event press on the little woman?
"The Emperor's Secret Edict ......"
Tang Youzeng held up a document, and everyone immediately threw off their horseshoe sleeves and knelt on the ground, waiting for the heavenly face that came through the paper.
ββ¦β¦ Guangdong officials such as Er should be the mainstay of the imperial court, stabilize Guangdong, and beware of thieves to change......"
Kangxi gave Yang Lin, Guan Yuanzhong and Tang Youzeng a secret message each, and the secret message to Tang Youzeng was to show the thief weakness and use fame and fortune to entrap Li Xi and his cronies.
"Do you want to give up this position?"
Martai asked expectantly, he, the prefect of Guangzhou, could not issue the yamen, and his daughter was in big trouble, so he was already willing to retreat.
Seeing his thoughts, Tang You snorted and said that the Han people have soft bones, but after so many years, the bones of the Manchurians have not been hard.
"Guangdong Salt Road, Grain Road, Tea and Horse Road, etc., the practice has been controlled by Li Shi, and these official positions are only prepared for Li Shi's cronies, and Li Shi himself, the emperor has invested a lot of money!"
Hearing that Tang You had said a series of rewards, everyone's faces turned pale, and they all said in their hearts, this way to promotion, there is a faster way than being born in Shangsanqi's Baoyi family, that is, the rebellion ...... "Guangdong Economic Strategy?" General Wu An? Seal my wife, give me three generations of fathers and ancestors? β
This series of rewards will naturally not be thrown over directly, otherwise Li Yan refused, and this face could be lost. Therefore, Tang You once passed on this meaning through An Jinzhi's relationship, which made Li Xi cry and laugh very much.
The position of Jingluo was used in the early Qing Dynasty, and there was no such official position after the Ping San Domain, and the title of General Wu'an was also a new name, and the old system was not seen. Duan Hongshi sharply pointed out that such a gift would not enter the documents of the court officials at all, it was an air-to-air trick.
Even so, it proves that Kangxi has pulled down his old face and is determined to treat him slowly. The full name of the Guangdong Economic Strategy is "Guangdong Military Affairs and Salt Grain, Tea and Horse Affairs", which is basically a confirmation of Li Shi's forces in Guangdong in the name of the Qing court.
"Yo, can we still be Mrs. Fate?"
Yan Sanniang was also sneering, but between her eyebrows, she was the same as An Jiuxiu, and she always had a bit of regret...... What woman hasn't wanted it for thousands of years? It's a pity that this court is not theirs.
"It's a soft hand, and a hard hand is coming over."
Duan Hongshi reminded, Li Xian nodded, he had already seen this hand. Zhang Wenhuan suppressed those subordinates who were making trouble in Huizhou, and was rapidly gathering the troops of Huichao and Huichao, wanting to use Huizhou as a line of defense to block Li Xiandong's going.
If the Qing soldiers are pressed in Huizhou, Li Shi's room for maneuver will be too small, and the Qing soldiers can also use Nanao as a springboard on the sea to coerce Qingpu from Xin'an, Shunde and other places. Therefore, the eastern border must be pushed to Chaozhou, so that it can deter South Australia.
"Looks like we're going to have to slap it hard."
Li Xian decided that he had to send troops again, and not only Huizhou, but also drove away the governor of Zhaoqing by taking advantage of the aftermath of the battle of Shaozhou, so that Guangzhou was completely powerless, and the hinterland of Guangdong could really fall into his hands.
"Military Heart...... Still have a problem......"
Fan Jin said with a little humility, he has been in a trance for the past few days, and he didn't care about investigating it carefully, when it comes to fighting again, he must remind Li Xian that he can't just push Si Wei to bury his head and continue to fight.
"Then let's hold a pledge meeting to boost everyone's morale, and at the same time to town the gang of officials who steal chickens and dogs in Guangzhou."
Yan Sanniang loves to be lively, and the suggestion she put forward is also in everyone's arms, and Li Xian is also thinking about how to launch a complete set of incentive systems, and take this opportunity to release it, which should be able to solidify the morale of the army.
On December 18, Qingpu, the scarlet banner was like a forest, enclosing a huge square, surrounded by crowds like a sea, tens of thousands of farmers, industrialists and industrialists, with different thoughts, gathered outside this square, waiting for Li Xi and his army to appear as brave as a heavenly soldier. Thousands of patrolmen transferred from Guangzhou, Dongguan, Foshan and other places were supervised by the Praetorian Guard Department to erect barriers to keep the crowd out of the red flag.
Not only Qingpu, but also outside the Xiguan of Guangzhou, and even at the head of Guangzhou City, there are also tens of thousands of people, looking at the place where the scarlet exhibition is located.
"Hurry! Take me there! β
Tang Youzeng's carriage rushed towards Qingpu, these days Li Shi has transferred manpower, he thought it was going to raise the flag, he was so frightened that he almost lost his soul, and later heard that it was Li Shi who was killed in the first battle of Shaozhou before the public sacrifice, so he was relieved.
But Li Xi never responded to the court's reward, he was still unstable in his heart, so he simply let it go, and wanted to meet Li Xi in person, and stuff this pile of rewards, that is, the face of the court, directly into Li Shi's hands.
As soon as the carriage got on the Jiuxing Bridge, a thunderous cheer was heard, the gray-blue figures were layered on top of each other, neatly entering the square, thousands of people moved like one person, and then there were more enthusiastic cheers, a group of people approached the high platform paved with red cloth, and a person was separated from it, stepped on the high platform steadily, and waved to the gray-blue figure.
"Li Tianwang!"
The crowd of spectators covered the shouts of those guards, and Tang You only felt that what he saw and heard in front of him was too gorgeous, as if he was in a dream.
"Don't mess around!"
In the square, Pan Shiyu slapped He Ming's head, this dumb boy was so excited, not only was he allowed to enter the guard and became Pan Shiyu's attendant, but also just in time for the guard oath meeting. Seeing this crowd, his whole body was suddenly baked hot, but he couldn't call it out, so he felt extremely uncomfortable, so he went straight to pull out the red flag, wanting to wave it to his heart's content, so as to relieve the excitement in his heart.
"Brothersβ!"
Li Xi spoke, the crowd outside the square quieted down, the guards quieted down, and He Ming also quieted down, he couldn't hear what Li Xi said, but he could see it, and he could see what Li Shi was saying from Pan Shiyuzheng's solemn face.
"Folks!"
Facing tens of thousands of people in the distance and thousands of people in the distance, Li Xi was also slightly nervous.
"My ...... Fellow citizens! β
Then he said hello, and finally let himself settle down, seeing these thousands of guards standing solemnly, he was extremely proud in his heart, such a history, he really created it! Although he is still very immature, he has really condensed such an army with his own hands under the prosperous era of Kangxi for more than 50 years, an army that is about to cleanse China and reverse history.
"Director-General!"
The guards looked up at Li Xian, and responded in unison, thousands of voices brought thousands of souls, and the chorus shook Li Xian's heart numb, and he also faintly began to feel like he was in a dream.
