Chapter 219: The Voice of Yong'an

The Chaozhou soldiers completely collapsed and rushed out of the battlefield, and almost at the same time, the bandits who rushed out of Yong'an County were in the same posture.

The performance of the bandits was far worse than that of the Qing army, Fang Tangheng waited for them to rush to fifty or sixty steps before giving the order to open fire, the first round of guns, this group of bandits was defeated, more than 600 people on the Guangzhou wing and the left wing of Qingtian stretched out, like a leisurely walk, while advancing, shooting, and finally stopped half a mile away from the city wall, and on the ground, hundreds of dead and wounded bandits had been lying down.

"It's really dangerous, those Foshan soldiers are really useless."

When he came back from collecting the troops, Wu Ya was still afraid, "Don't compare them with the old Siwei who has been training for a year or two, it's good to have this performance." ”

Li Xian's face was calm, but he was also secretly frightened, it was really dangerous, it seemed that this city soldier was really not as good as the village soldier. In contrast, the Guangzhou wing is not under any pressure, and if the Guangzhou wing is swinged, it is estimated that it will be similar to the Foshan wing.

Army construction, there is a long way to go, how to improve, only later, the Chaozhou soldiers were beaten away, Li Shi turned his attention to the bandits in Yongan County.

The 3,000 bandits who went out of the city were easily defeated, but now that they had retreated to the inner city on the mountain, Li Xi hesitated. Siege the city, not only do you have few soldiers, but it's hard to say whether there will be any more officers and soldiers to mischievous.

"Xiaguan...... Can be served......"

Just as he was hesitating, the tied Yongan County Dian Shi shouted.

"Xiaguan's family was killed by bandits, and there are countless people who suffer in the city, as long as Xiaguan can sneak into the city and contact everyone, the inside and outside should be together, and it should be decided in one fell swoop."

This classic history named Ba Xuqi said hatefully, but Li Xian glanced at him more, and he was also a hot-blooded man.

The next day, Yong'an County was recovered, Ba Xu made the first contribution, he sneaked back at night, organized Ding Zhuang, killed the bandits at the city gate in the early morning, shouted that the city was broken, the bandits were in chaos, and wanted to seize the road and escape, Li Xi's guard was guarding the exit of the outer city, and more than 2,000 bandits were wiped out.

"Mr. Li, I'm really useless......"

Meng Kui was rescued, and he had been under house arrest by Yao Zhen and Zhang Wu before, so he offered it in the name of confession. When he saw Li Shi, his face was full of shame.

"It's nothing, there are always people who are arrogant and ignorant, carried away by their own ambitions."

Looking at Yao Zhen and Zhang Wu who were tied up on the other side, Li Xi comforted.

"Li Shi! Aren't you also fighting against the government? Why do it to us!? ”

Yao Zhen shouted unconvinced.

"Li Xi - General Secretary Li - ! Didn't you say that you rebelled against the imperial court, we also heard that you killed the officers and soldiers, and killed the officials, so we followed the revelation! ”

More than 2,000 bandit captives were held outside the city wall, and Yao Zhen shouted like this, and some people followed suit.

Li Shi looked at Ba Xuqi on the side, the other party's face was pale and trembling. Although he has a blood surname and is bold, he knows that he has no chance against Li Shi, if Li Shi is also here...... "Li Shi, you are a thief!" You were still killing officers and soldiers just now, why did you attack us!? We're all the way! ”

Zhang Wu was more angry than Yao Zhen at this time, he just couldn't figure it out.

There are bandits outside the city, and there are people in the city, Li Xianxin said, this is also an opportunity, what to say, just to be able to understand.

"Rebellion, you ...... Why the rebellion? ”

Li Xi asked.

"For the sake of heaven!"

Zhang Wu shouted confidently.

"For whose heavens? Whose way is it? ”

Li Xi sneered and asked again.

"Heaven for the common people! The way of the poor! ”

Zhang Wuke did not flinch.

"That's right! If the government doesn't let people live, we will rebel! ”

The bandits shouted too.

"Isn't the slogan you shouting killing Hu'er and Xinghan Room?"

Li scoffed.

"It's Hu'er who sits on the country now, of course you have to shout like this, if you change the Han people, then change the word, in short, it's the imperial court!"

Yao Zhen is upright.

"That'...... How to rebel? ”

Li Xi continued to ask.

"How can you rebel? Kill the officer! Pull the flag! ”

Yao Zhen snorted coldly.

"And plundering goods, killing innocents, humiliating women and children, riding on other people's powers?"

Li Xi looked at the blood inside the city wall, it was all left by the previous bandits who fell into the city, and the corpses of the people who were in a mess were still piled up outside the city wall. Relatively speaking, the "discipline" of this bandit still has a limit, and it has not killed all the people in the city.

"They are also ordinary people, they are also poor people, they are on the same sky, walking the same road, how can they deal with them?"

Li Xian's questioning, many bandits lowered their heads, but more bandits disagreed, aren't all rebellions like this? It's a strange question.

"This ...... Ill-gotten gains, everybody's share, those ...... Those people, since they want to follow the government, they are all self-inflicted! ”

Yao Zhen has no theoretical level, and his mouth is full of "mine is mine, and yours is also mine".

"Flat field! All rich! It's all born to my parents, why do other people eat and drink spicy food, we can only gnaw the soil and drink the wind in the ravine!? ”

Zhang Wu knew some truths, and shouted very reasonably, which also aroused the response of the bandits.

"Everyone deserves to live the same! What we do for God is the way! ”

Zhang Wu also stiffened his neck, like a martyr who went to the battlefield.

Li Xian sneered: "Sounds good......"

He was talking to the bandits, and the people of the city shouted.

"Mr. Li, are you really going to rebel against the imperial court!?"

"Why don't you kill these bandits and debate with them!?"

"Are you all the way with these bandits? If so, open your mouth early, let's be prepared, if you want the silver, you can take it casually, if you want a woman, you can pull it straight, and then you can't stand this torment! I didn't have to do it anyway! ”

Countless shouts converged, and finally summed up by Nadian Shi Ba Xuqi into a single question.

"Mr. Li, what exactly do you want to do?"

It's not an official, it's not a thief, it's not just an official, it's not a thief, it's just for the people, but it's not a good person who does things for nothing, it's just for business, but I always feel that it's more than that.

"I'm Li Shi...... It's also for heaven! ”

Li Xian shouted loudly, so frightened that the people in the city shrank their necks, they are really bandits!?

"But I'm Li Shi, it's not for the thief! It's not a good man's way! ”

Li Xian crossed his waist, on this city wall, on one side were bandits, on the other side were the people, and there were Ba Xuqi and a group of officials from Yongan County on the city wall.

"I, Li Shi, have a bright heaven on my head, and the way to be walked is the avenue that you can understand and was praised by the sages thousands of years ago!"

"It's hard to say what this way is. Lao Tzu Yun, the Tao is Tao, and it is very Tao. Like this water, which falls from heaven and is called rain, and flows through the mountains, and is called a brook, and then the river, and finally the sea. ”

"Each of us, in this world, is only a part of the common world. You are a merchant, you are a farmer, you are a craftsman, you are a servant. Just like water scattered everywhere, as a member of the common people, you can only receive a part of the way that the heavens descend on the people. ”

As soon as he said this, someone was about to commit a crime, and shouted: "We are all ordinary people!" ”

Everyone didn't understand yet, they just felt that Li Shi was talking too far, and this shout was the most right, and they all said peacefully: "That's right, we are all ordinary people, and we should lead the same way of heaven." ”

Li Xi smiled, nodded and said, "Yes, they are all ordinary people, so what heavenly way should the common people receive?" ”

Zhang Wu interjected: "That's what I just said, everyone should live the same!" ”

Everyone was silent, and what they thought in their hearts was the sentence that Li Shi had just responded to: "Sounds good......"

Li Xi nodded, it should indeed be the same, but how it should be the same, there is too much difference.

"I, Li Shi, the way of heaven that I want to do, return to the people, it is just two simple sentences."

He looked around to the right and left, not accustomed to the bandits or the people of the city, to make sure that his words reached their ears.

"If you work hard, you can get rich! Kindness, feasible world! ”

Li Xian's words swept down the inside and outside of the city wall, like the previous cannon sound, which shook people's hearts in a trance.

It is an eternal truth that hard work should lead to wealth, but ...... It never happened.

Kindness can naturally do the world, since childhood, my father and mother have taught it like this, but when it is big, it is necessary to admonish the last sentence of "people's hearts are sinister", otherwise it will be difficult to do half a step.

This doesn't just sound good, it's just wishful thinking...... But everyone had to nod, this was really the way of heaven that their people had, and they had been living by such a way. It's just that there is too much haze staining this, natural disasters, [***], and more government ...... "You ask me what Li Xi wants to do?" ”

At the head of the city, Li Xian hugged his arms and made a clearest declaration.

"I, Li Shi, want to hold up a piece of heaven and earth in Guangdong, and do this way."

"I, Li Shi, want to build an order in Guangdong, where everyone can earn wealth with their hands and live freely with kindness."

Li Xi looked at the people, and seemed to see the people of the entire Guangdong through them.

"Believe me Li Shi, in this Guangdong, An Ansheng gave birth to a son."

looked at Yao Zhen, Zhang Wu and the bandits, and through them, I also saw the whole of Guangdong, those who were about to move.

"If you don't believe me Li Shi, get out of here as soon as possible, if you want to turn over the river and the sea here, you will be the end!"

finally looked at Ba Xuqi, he, behind him was the government of Guangdong.

"As for the imperial court, I will leave a skin and a face, but that's all, Guangdong, my Li Shi's Guangdong!"

Li Shi did what he said, Yao Zhen and more than 400 thieves and bandits who were identified as committing bloody crimes in Yong'an County were all beheaded, but Zhang Wu actually did not commit any crimes, and Meng Kui was spared death. He led more than 1,000 captives to Hong Kong, where three years of hard labor awaited them, and there was a shortage of infrastructure workers.

Meng Kui returned to Chaozhou with his old foundation, and continued to act as Li Shi's eyes and ears, with this lesson, as well as some materials supported by Li Shi, Meng Kui should also be able to establish his own authority and no longer be held hostage by others.

The Yong'an bandits were in turmoil, and they were pacified in a few days, and Li Xian not only beat the uninteresting Chaozhou town mark, killing and injuring thousands of people, but also showing no mercy to the bandits, which made the Guangdong officials more afraid of him, and the perception of him changed subtly, and his remarks in Yongan were also regarded as a declaration of the secret domination of Guangdong.
