"He Shuai, there are less than two days' worth of food left. (The text was first published in the reading cabinet biquge.info) "In the Tamsui military camp, several sad-faced town generals and supervisors gathered around He You to complain. "The food in the people's homes has also been looted, and if there is no food to deliver, the whole army will starve to death.
"Grain, grain, grain, you have been nagging for half a month, what can I do." He You roared, since the last ship of iron ore left Taiwan, it has been nearly two months since the grain fleet went north, without foreign support, how can Tamsui, a small place with only five or six hundred households and more than 2,000 people, support more than 1,000 troops and multiple slave laborers, It is not easy for He You to persist until now, of course, the slaves and the people have suffered a great crime because of this. "Go up to the mountains to hunt, go down to the sea to fish, and make all the slave laborers who did not die into two-legged sheep."
Hearing that they were going to eat people, the faces of these town generals and overseers became ugly, and some of them suggested: "He Shuai, we still have two boats, just go directly to Fuzhou, why bother to stay in this dead place." ”
"Lao Tzu also wants to float across the sea, but how many people can be brought over by two boats, you don't want to think about it, will it be a treatment to go naked and follow the troops in Taiwan to surrender?" He You is still dreaming when he is dying. "Tell the brothers, hold on for two more days, and when Shi Lang occupies Tainan, we will have a good life."
"Two more days? He Shuai said this for a while, and the brothers below didn't believe it for a long time, and they clamored to go back to Tainan. "One of the Overseers shook his head like a rattle." This matter is not easy to use, so it is better to ask He Shuai to personally lead someone to explain it to the brothers. ”
"Lin Dake (recommended by book friend j82050) What do you mean by that?" He You's eyebrows were raised, and his tone became sharper. "At the beginning, Lao Tzu said that he wanted to contact Shi Lang, and you all said loudly, what's the matter, now it's Lao Tzu to blame?" He You said, put the saber in front of him. "If you want to go back to the domain, you can come over and get Lao Tzu's head first."
Wu Yong, who was taken by He You, all the generals were silent, but silence could not solve the problem, and in the midst of the difficulty, a pro-soldier rushed in with joy: "My lord, the boat, there is a ship coming." ”
He You was overjoyed, and rushed out of the barracks with the generals with the same happy faces, and the soldiers who heard the news also spontaneously followed, and the group of people actually ran twice the usual speed to complete the short distance from the barracks to the dock.
However, when they arrived at the dock, everyone gasped as soon as they saw the situation on the river. It turned out that the huge plywood boat did not dock, but only stopped in the middle of the river, but the gun window on the side had been opened, and there were more than a dozen black holes. But what scared the rebels even more was the battle flag at the stern, red and blue, which was the flag of the Boy Scouts.
It seemed that seeing more and more rebels on the riverside, the warship suddenly flashed with fire, a rumbling cannon sounded, and in the shallow water near the river bank, several water columns mixed with a large amount of sediment rose into the air, and many splashes of water splashed on the rebels on the riverside.
Seeing this posture, someone suddenly shouted: "The cannon has been fired, run away!" ”
As if they were infected, a group of rebels dispersed in a hurry, He You and they also fled inland in a panic, ran for a while, and several people looked back, only to see the big splint boat on the river put down a four-oared boat, and then the boat sailed straight towards the dock.
"Stop, stop!" He You scolded, and the dozens of soldiers who came up and didn't have time to escape were stopped by him, so they listened to He You's order. "You guys go see what's going on." The rebels were too cowardly to move forward, and He You scolded. "It's all a bad breed, there are only a few people on the boat, and if you catch them, the ship may not dare to open fire."
Under the coercion of He You, more than a dozen rebels returned to the dock in fear, at this time He You found the town generals of Wuchang and Wutong and some of the assistant generals, and finally reorganized part of the rout, but before he could complete the rectification, the rebels who had just been sent to the dock ran back out of breath.
"My lord, it's a member of the Boy Scouts, and he said, he said, the south has won, and Shi Lang has also committed suicide."
This amazing news suddenly made everyone crispy inside and out, Shi Lang actually lost, and Shi Lang, who won the Battle of Penghu, actually lost? How is this possible, but if it is impossible, how can the Scouts' warships swagger in Tamsui? For a while, He You and several generals fell into a state of pause in thinking.
In fact, this silent situation did not last for a few breaths, and the lower-level officers and soldiers on the side began to whisper, some people said that they could go home now, some people said that they had become rebellious, and some people immediately said that they had captured the chief officer and surrendered, and all kinds of voices gathered, which suddenly woke up He You and others.
"What else did they say?" He You felt that his voice had become unusually hoarse and dry after saying a few words, but at this moment he had no time to think about what was going on, only a little anxiously waiting for the judgment of unknown fate. "Or did they come ashore to destroy us?"
"By the way, I forgot, in fact, they asked me to pass on a word, saying that there is a Lord He Zhentong who wants to see you, the general."
"What the hell?" Of course, He You knew that the town commander was what the Boy Scouts said to the town general, and the town general in the Boy Scouts only had his distant cousin. "He's coming?" He You couldn't help but think about the other party's intentions, and after a long time, he gritted his teeth and said. "Invite him to the front of the army"
He Qian came quickly, and when he saw He You standing in the middle of the road from a distance, he greeted him: "Brother Twelve, I haven't seen you for a long time?" ”
"Old eighteen, don't say polite words." He You responded coldly. "Our brothers are both Qiu Ba, don't talk about going around in circles, just be a little bit, what are you here for?"
"Brother Twelve is still hot-tempered, well, I'll make a long story short," He Qian's face turned grim. "On the order of Shisun, please ask the twelfth brother to bring the Wuchang and Wutong towns back to Tainan, and save these soldiers from being ruined and their wives separated."
"The grandson is generous, but Yu doesn't believe it, Shi Lang is really defeated?"
"But that's right, not only Shi Lang was defeated, but the Boy Scout's sailors also hit Penghu and shelled Jinxia, and it is estimated that Yao Qisheng will not have time to take care of you now." He Qian had a hesitant smile on his face, but this smile was obviously so hideous in He You's eyes. "If Brother Twelve doesn't want to be starving, he can only lead his troops to return south."
"Then I want to congratulate the eighteenth man on your bet on the right treasure." He You gritted his teeth with hatred, but he was stronger than people, as long as he said that he disagreed, those soldiers who were about to starve to death would definitely tear themselves to pieces first, so He You could only ask lightly. "I don't know what the grandson will do with us after returning to the south."
He Qian slightly swept the rebel generals who were focused on He You's words, but the smile on his face was even better: "The co-generals will be released, and the co-generals will all be raided and killed, and their descendants will never be used." ”
He You was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly laughed wildly, laughing so much that he burst into tears, and after a long time, He You wiped his face and asked with a straight face: "Old Eighteen, I was told by you frankly, but if the grandson wants to do such a heavy ceremony, aren't you afraid that we will resist stubbornly?" ”
"Stubborn resistance?" He Qian ignored the threatening expressions of the generals of the two towns, and just asked calmly. "What does Brother Twelve want to use to resist stubbornly?" He Qian pointed to the people present, and then to the soldiers with vegetable faces in the distance. "In a few days, the fresh water will run out of food."
He Gan's words suddenly hit He You's weakness, and just when his face was purple, He Gan, who was unforgiving, said again: "Brother Twelve may think that he can escape to the mainland, but unfortunately, it was originally not bad, but now that the Flying Thunder is parked on the river, does Brother Twelve think he can fly across the Taiwan Strait?" ”
Wuchang Town's general Yu Xing threatened: "It's a big deal that the fish die and the net is broken, let the whole Tamsui be buried for us!" ”
"After Shisun defeated Shi Lang, he killed 3,000 captured Qing troops in one go, Lord Yu thinks, can your threat make Shisun retreat?" He Qian sneered. "Don't daydream, it's still a question of whether your subordinates will follow you, and now only the guilt of Jing may have a chance to survive." Speaking of which, He Qian added. "I forgot that the grandson has just issued an order, as long as you can find someone to atone for your sins with his military exploits, you can all live."
As soon as these words came out, several generals were moved, they were all generals, and some in-laws could rely on them, even He You's face showed a trace of expectation, but He Qian sighed secretly, you know, none of what he said before was a lie, but now, he had to be ordered to deceive He You.
"Brother Twelve, don't worry, I told Shisun that I will exchange my military merits for a way for you to live, and let you make meritorious contributions." He Qian said lonely, his expression was misunderstood by He You, thinking that He Qian was feeling sorry for the title he had gotten. "So, Brother Twelve, don't make it difficult for me."
"Old Eighteen, thank you very much." He You patted He Gan's shoulder with emotion, to be honest, he was afraid that those hungry and green-eyed subordinates would back, and he had already reached the point where he couldn't hold on, and now He Gan gave him a step down, he naturally wouldn't miss it. "Call out all those rabbit cubs, let's go back, go back to Tainan"
On August 22, the seventh day of repelling Shi Lang's invasion of Taiwan, He You and other Tamsui guards returned to Lukang and were immediately sent to Chengtianfu by prisoner car. At the beginning of boarding the prisoner car, He You and the others, who were bewitched, were still talking and laughing, thinking that it was just a passing scene, but unfortunately no one knew that what was waiting for them was an unprecedented trial
