"I've decided!"

On the carriage, the beauty clasped hands with each other, and her eyes showed a resolute light.

"If my uncle gives me the library of Whampoa Academy, I will promise to ......"

The little maid Liudou exclaimed: "Miss! Do you want to sell your own books for the sake of them!? ”

Duan Yu took a leisurely sip: "What do you think!" I promised to see that little hairy side, that's all! ”

Liudou exclaimed again: "There are almost 100,000 books in the library!" 100,000 copies! Miss, just sell a meeting, is the second wife willing to sell? ”

Duan Yuyou hammered up six buckets: "You heartless dead girl!" Miss, I'm priceless, how can I keep selling, selling, sell ”

The master and servant were frolicking, and they heard the noise gradually rising, and after a short time the carriage stopped, and the guard said respectfully, "Miss, the new meeting has arrived." ”

Putting on the veil and hat, the master and servant got out of the carriage, and their vision was submerged in a colorful light and shadow.

The huge mast-style road sign has become the center of a noisy bazaar, the two erected flags of "Yashan to the south, Xinhui to the north" swagger in the wind, did not have time to look at the Xinhui city wall not far from the north, Duan Yuyou first noticed that the low wall around Xinhui, about one zhang high, stretching for several miles, looks like it should be used to isolate Xinhui, and there are forts built every hundred steps. But the wall is full of colors, and there is a brightly colored picture every ten steps.

The first thing Duan Yuyou saw was a few pictures of the main color of scarlet, and when he looked at it, he couldn't help but churn in his chest, the scarlet was actually human blood, like a river waterfall across the picture, countless human heads and stumps were dotted among them, and he was seeing countless soldiers with shaved money rat tails, fierce and vicious, carrying human heads, stepping on corpses, and the city gate behind him was written with the words "Taiping Gate", which was a scene of Guangzhou.

"After Li Chengdong anyway, Guangzhou was under the rule of Emperor Yongli of the Southern Ming Dynasty, 66 years ago, the Qing army attacked Guangzhou, from February to November, because of the internal annihilation and betrayal, and finally broke the city, the whole city was slaughtered by the army and civilians, and the Pearl River changed color for it......"

Many people were watching the paintings along the wall, and there were even storytellers telling stories about the paintings, Duan Yuyou's heart was shocked, and he was also led by the storyteller, and looked at the paintings one by one. From Guangzhou to Zhaoqing, then to Foshan, and then to Xinhui, I saw soldiers and civilians kneeling down all over the city, and then lining up to shave their hair.

When they saw Li Dingguo attacking Xinhui, the people of Xinhui held on to the city, and cooked people to eat when there was no food, everyone felt that their chests and abdomen were turned over the river and the sea, and the little maid Liuche pointed to the little girl who was being erected by the soldiers and was about to throw it into the pot of boiling water, and asked anxiously: "Did she survive?" Did you survive? ”

The painting is too vivid, too realistic...... Duan Yuyou closed his eyes, only to feel that it was no longer ugly, and he didn't have the heart to answer Liuche's stupid question.

"Huh! It's made of glass. ”

As if trying to stop the tragedy in the painting, Liuche reached out to touch the painting, and then made a new discovery.

"In the past, it was said that the Tartars were brutal and the Han was shameless, and I didn't feel anything, but now I know that these two groups deserve to die! Die a thousand times! ”

Six Che's reaction was no different from the others.

"War is all together, and lives are ......"

Duan Yuyou sighed in a low voice, the crime is still the war itself, there is no difference between it, she can read the book, before Shaowu and Yongli Emperor were not inseparable in Sanshui.

"Alas, don't scratch it, the empty wall next to this painting is reserved for you."

Seeing that the tourists who looked like scholars were interested, they took out the hard ink pen that has become popular in Guangdong, and wanted to draw a "so-and-so to visit here", the storyteller and tour guide hurriedly stopped him and pointed him to the empty wall next to him, which was already densely packed with names, and there were some corners left.

Look at the ten-mile long wall, such a famous wall accounts for almost half of it, Duan Yuyou couldn't help but take a breath, the people who came to Xinhui for "sightseeing" were afraid that there should be millions of people.

"It must be a good thing that my uncle did, this kind of act of erecting a target and hating the same enemy is really a good strategy to gather people's hearts."

Duan Yuyou was thinking about it, and a cannon rang out, which startled her and the surrounding tourists, and the six cars were even more anxious to lead her young lady, thinking that she was going to fight. This is not a scenic spot, not far from Xinhui County, which is the battlefield.

"Go and see the next one, recite books for food, you guys keep up, if it's slow, you won't be able to see it. The sound of the cannon was a reminder that it was time for them to take the stage, and that it was okay. ”

The tour guide took everyone up to a high platform, and Duan Yuyou also dragged the little maid who was panicked in his heart to follow. After going up, I saw that on the gate tower of Xinhui County, half a mile away, a group of people with strange clothes had just appeared, saying that weird was not ordinary people, but the details were not clear.

"Rent a clairvoyant mirror, it's only ten cents, and the situation on the other side can be seen very clearly......"

Some hawkers began to solicit business, Duan Yuyou raised his chin, and the six cars hurriedly paid for rent. Looking at the clairvoyant mirror, Duan Yu sighed leisurely, unable to believe that what he saw in front of him was true.

Is that still human? All of them were rickety, their clothes were ragged, and many of them were still draped in sheets and hung strips of cloth, and they sat upright at the head of the city, unfolded the scroll in their hands, and read them with a righteous and awe-inspiring attitude.

"Why do they study?"

Liuche asked blankly.

"If you don't study, you will shoot artillery here, you look at the potholes on the city wall, that is, one day before they abandoned this work, they were bombarded with more than ten cannons, and the recruit camp also put on a siege posture, so scared that they hurriedly came out to study again."

The tour guide dutifully explained.

"Why don't you shoot when you study? I heard that the Yinghua army is invincible, and all the cities have been captured, why is this small Xinhui county still surrounded here? ”

Liuche is like a curious baby, spitting out endless questions in one breath, and everyone around laughed, Conquered it, how can you see the faces of these beasts with their own eyes.

"That's ...... The king of heaven is benevolent and righteous, after all, he is the common people, after all, he is a scholar, and he does not want to harm them. ”

The scholar read the official tone, and Duan Yuyou twisted six carts, which made the little maid who still didn't give up stop talking.

"The real Xinhui people, even if they have food to help, I'm afraid they won't have the strength to go to the city to study, these people on the city gate tower are full of energy, and they don't look like they have endured hardships at all, where did they come from?"

"Shhh, be quiet, those are all hired by General Manager Yuan's office to put on a show, in Xinhui City, except for a few die-hard scholars who still follow that edict to stand up on the bed, the others have already run out."

Everyone looked at this strange scene with relish, but there was such a conversation in the corner, Duan Yuyou heard it faintly, and shook his head, sure enough.

Coming down from the high platform, wandering around in the market under the big mast of the road signs, the eyes are full of all kinds of genealogies and chronicles, all of which are the piles and deeds of Xinhui County during the Ming and Qing dynasties.

"The secret of the four filial piety lies, Guangzhou Jingqiao Xuan limited edition, a set of two coins and silver, only nine hundred and ninety sets, it will be gone when it is late!"

"The record of Qing Tartar atrocities, just released, an exclusive chronicle, the prophet knows the first tide, forty texts!"

"Huang Xiucai was shocked! The ancestors narrated it personally, absolutely true! The ugly past that the descendants of the Huang family sold their ancestors and betrayed their ancestors also had to be exposed! ”

The shouts and cheers were endless, and they all sold the old things of Xinhui as a secret of the neighborhood, and not only that, but also sold all kinds of old things related to the siege of Xinhui, which made Duan Yuyou and Liuche dumbfounded.

"This is it! In the name of selling boiled soup pots, he is secretly selling the wine and meat of Xinhui's daughter! ”

Then a man led a team of patrolmen to hurry through and break into a shop.

"Xinhui is a corruption of people's hearts, but this new country of Britain and China is even more erosive in people's hearts!"

Duan Yuyou didn't have time to be indignant, but a group of people not far away were reprimanding with righteous indignation, seeing that these people were still exposed under their pigtails, and the licenses tied to the braids were eye-catching, and there were soldiers in gray and blue uniforms around them, and they suddenly realized that these people were Manchu officials who had been arrested and were receiving "re-education" here.

"Chen Xiantai is right, that Li thief engaged in this Xinhui drama, which seems to be a shame for the loyalty of my Qing people, but it is shameless to show his corrupting and ordinary people!"

"It's a pity that the foolish people are like this, but they all seem to have been deceived by him, and lo and behold, they are all ashamed to talk about my Qing Dynasty, alas, ......"

"Such a foolish people, when the imperial army goes south, they should all be killed, and no one will be left!"

Others responded one after another, but Chen Yuanlong, who was the first to speak out angrily, was silent, he and these Manchu civil officials were die-hards, and they would never cooperate with Yinghua. Now that I have been pulled out for a "re-education journey", I have a lot of emotion along the way, but I gradually show the difference in my heart. In his opinion, Yinghua Li Shi's hand is not stupid, but very clever, but this is based on Li Shi's position. That Li Shi set humanity and loyalty against each other, thus ridiculing loyalty, and it seems that he also flaunts loyalty, but in his bones it is a different set. Seeing that he acted in Guangdong, he actually abolished the defense of the people's hearts and used money to penetrate the world, and such an act was not only the mortal enemy of the Qing Dynasty, but also the great enemy of their Confucian scholars. Since it is the great enemy of Confucianism, it is the enemy of the Chinese Taoism. And those who are busy around them can only see through the first layer.

"With one mouth, the heavens and the earth can be swallowed, and that's all you can do, let's go, the next stop is Yashan, I don't know if you are ready to scold."

The leader of the soldiers who guarded them had long been accustomed to such words, and did not care at all, and led them southward.

"Miss, shall we still go to Yashan? I heard that there is a statue of 10,000 martyrs there, which is very magnificent! ”

Liuche asked with great interest, but Duan Yuyou rolled his eyes secretly, this girl should be watching the excitement.

But seeing that everyone around was excited to see the excitement, Duan Yuyou shook his head and sighed, Uncle Xindao, did you do this in the wrong direction? Loyalty and righteousness are elegant, how can they be made into rough slang or something like that? Aren't you afraid of confusing people's hearts, but then you won't know what true loyalty is?

"I thank Dingbei for his loyalty to Yinghua, God can learn from it!"

In Chenzhou, Hunan, Xie Dingbei said loudly, but his eyebrows were still low, matching with his body that had been rickety.

In other words, He Mengfeng, this could not be more reasonable, but as a senior officer of the green battalion caught on the battlefield, and now as the acting commander of the rear battalion of the Tiger Ben Army, he wants to seize the garrison task of the key place in this battle, and it is afraid that it will backfire to express his determination with these words...... It seems that Xie Dingbei also realized this, and his waist and limbs were stiffened for three points, so he only put on a posture of not giving in, and said no more.

Since Li Shi put him in this position, and whether it was in the Huangpu Martial Arts Academy or on the front line in Fujian, Xie Dingbei's performance was not bad, and Meng Kui, the acting commander of the Tiger Army, felt that he should still give him at least a minimum of trust, at least he had to explain the reasons for refusal.

Just as he was about to speak, his subordinates reported that a large force of enemy troops appeared thirty miles to the west, at least no less than 10,000 people, and there were both civilian and Qing troops in uniform.

"The situation is urgent, and we must no longer mess up the layout of the whole army because of the problems of the battalion leader himself."

Meng Kui sighed lowly, and secretly changed his mind, now that the enemy is current, the question of whether Xie Dingbei is reliable is just a small detail, let me suppress it.

On the seventh day of the fifth month, three days after the Huben army captured the capital city of Chenzhou, the Qing army launched a large-scale counterattack, Zhang Ying led the front camp to defend the west, Han Zaixing led the left camp to guard the north, He Mengfeng led the right camp to guard the south of the city wall that was already broken, and Xie Ding led the north to guard the east with the least pressure.

The Battle of Chenzhou began, the Anglo-Chinese army was the newly established Tiger Army, and the main force of the Qing army was also Xiangyong, who appeared in a new face.
