Chapter Eighty-Four: The Tiger Escapes (20)
"The students originally thought that Hou Dagou raised troops because of Cheng Lan's will, to find a way to live for the poor people of the 100,000 mountains, but it turned out that he wanted to be the emperor? In this way, there is no need to say it, just see you and me tomorrow. Of course, you can also send troops over now and see if you can kill the students in front of this Huaiji City. As soon as Ding finished speaking slowly, he turned around and walked calmly.
"Wait! Ding Rongcheng stays! He grabbed Zheng Ang on the city wall, but said to the latter, "He is different from the surname Chai." Don't ask me, Niu Er is stupid, but this person and the surname Chai, don't look like the goods all the way, teach Niu Er to go out of the city to listen, what he has to say. ”
Zheng Ang shook his head, how could he let his brother venture out of the city? It's just that looking at the scalper's persistent expression, he had no choice but to take a step back and shouted to Ding Yi under the city: "My brother respects you as a hero, and I would like to listen to you, do you dare to enter the city to speak?" ”
"No!" Wen Fatty's face changed suddenly when he heard this.
"100,000 watts of iron riding, students also said to go, said to go, just go, just gathered, do you think, students can be timid? Just open the door. Ding Yi said with a smile, and walked towards the city gate, Wen Fat Man had no choice but to hurriedly block in front of Ding Yi, in case there was an assassination of hidden arrows and the like.
Walking to a scene about forty steps away from the city gate, which is about eighty meters, Ding Yi suddenly raised his eyebrows, and shouted with a spring thunder on his tongue: "Rat dares!" Raising his hand and pointing to the wall on the left, there was a soldier who had secretly raised his bow, only to hear a long, sharp voice. There was a bloody hole in his chest, and he kept bleeding out, and the arrow in his hand suddenly lost its accuracy and shot out into the sky. Then the strength of the whole body was withdrawn, and he fell on the city wall with a "plop", and there was no sound.
Before the people on the city wall came to their senses, they heard Wen Fatzi roaring: "So, Ann is the way of hospitality? Hou Dagou is also a hero, and the people under his command are so humble! The scalper and Zheng Ang hurriedly restrained the defenders in the city. that they should not let their arrows go. Those soldiers were so shocked that they dared to shoot arrows?
Zheng Ang asked Murong Qiushui in a low voice, "What kind of spell is this?" The latter was also frightened, and hesitated to say that it was a firearm. Zheng Ang was furious when he heard this, "Are you ignorant of deception? Ding Rongcheng didn't have a firearm in his hand, and he didn't see smoke rising from the left and right, so he had such a firearm? If you don't understand, you don't understand. Why bother with! But he went down to the city defense with the scalper. Go to the city gate to greet Ding Yi.
He didn't know that the steel barrel could withstand nitrate-based fire, and there would be no smoke from black gunpowder; And the spiral rifling greatly improves the accuracy of shooting, even if Fang Cai Ding is behind, the sniper who is lying in the withered grass outside the city and shoots is not as talented as Ding Junyue, but it is less than a hundred paces away, and it is only a hit within two hundred meters. But there is no problem.
As for the fire from the muzzle, under the sun. Unless there is something expected in advance, the attention is on Ding Yi and the two, who can see the flash of fire two hundred meters away? Twelve sniper rifles, this is one of the reasons why Ding Yi dared to approach the city gate; In fact, even if the other party shoots a salvo, he and Wen Fatzi are both wearing three layers of armor, even if hundreds of arrows are fired in a salvo, they are just a little embarrassed, just take off the big iron shield behind them to protect their heads and faces.
The banquet set up by the scalper and Zheng Ang was in the county office of Huaiji County, and the scalper had a deep admiration for Ding Yi, so he went inside and kicked Zheng Ang, but invited Ding Yi to the upper seat facing the door. Zheng Ang smiled bitterly and shook his head, it is true that this Ding Rongcheng is famous all over the world, but this brother is too simple, this is the master of each other, why should he lose his prestige like this?
And then Tuoba Zhenge and Murong Qiushui, who entered the country, their faces were obviously not good-looking, the rebels such as Scalper and Zheng Ang were still simple low-level people in their bones, no matter what, Ding Yi was a big official, and he was a famous hero in the rivers and lakes, putting aside the deeds of the past legends, he dared to enter the city alone, and he had the courage to teach people the deadly ability in the first forty steps of the city, they were all respectful, so please Ding Yi sit on the throne, Zheng Ang was a little unhappy, but he could accept it.
And Tuoba Zhenge and Murong Qiushui, the remnants of the royal family who have been bent on recovering the country for hundreds of years, don't see it that way. What they know is that the King of Qin and the King of Zhao will drink, and the King of Zhao will drum, this is an insult! Lin Xiangru then splashed five steps with blood and forced the King of Qin to respond by beating the King of Zhao before he stopped. Under Ding Yi, although the two of them knew that they should be a little forbearing, they were really unhappy when they sat down, and they couldn't sit for a while, so they left the table to arrange military affairs.
"The student wants to talk to Brother Hou, just to ask him: In this world, how to govern after he fights? Or in this Guangxi, how does he plan to let the people live and how to make all industries prosperous? Ding Yi calmly asked Huang Niu'er and Zheng Ang, "Both, do you know Dao Fengyang?" ”
Fortunately in the Hongwu years, Zhu Yuanzhang exempted his hometown from taxes, and those who were able to be promoted to be officials, and those who were incapable of guarding the ancestral graves of the Zhu family, and those who farmed did not have to pay rent and taxes, and the old ones could only eat and drink freely. The so-called 360 days a year is sung! This is also the origin of Fengyang flower drum, life is better.
But this was only limited to the natives of Fengyang, that is, Zhu Yuanzhang's villagers, and later those immigrants from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, deposed officials, and the families and descendants of criminals who filled in the central capital were resentful of Zhu Yuanzhang. According to the "Fengyang New Book": "During the Taizu period, there were the most migrants, and there were people who migrated with crimes...... The sound of grievances filled the garden. "Later, the Ming Dynasty fell, that was a more ugly scolding, so there is no need to mention it, it has been resentful for several lifetimes, let alone the death of the Ming Dynasty?
Therefore, Ding Yi's mention of Fengyang is not for nothing: "If there is no good strategy to rule the world, he will succeed in the future, Guiping is just another Fengyang, what is the benefit to the people?" At that time, there will still be people who can't live, there will still be people scolding Hou Dagou, and there will still be people who will rise up. Two, students, can you remember? Maybe it will be passed on to Brother Hou? ”
The scalper didn't make a sound, but Zheng Ang spoke: "According to Mr. Rong Cheng's meaning, should I and other mountain people be born with such a sin?" No matter what, my father, my relatives and friends, it's good not to teach them to suffer, people in the world, do my business? I followed Brother Hou to raise troops, just to let my own people live a good life! ”
"I've tried many times...... Do you understand? Someone has tried it many times. ”
"What have you tried so many times?"
"At least, Han Gaozu has tried, and Taizu of this dynasty has also tried." Ding Yi sighed helplessly, threw his chopsticks on the case, and said to Zheng Ang, "If it goes on like this, it will be a war, the officials and soldiers will die, the mountain people will die, and a large number of people will die each, that is, Brother Hou will be able to succeed, and there will be an uprising in the future, and the official army will die, and the righteous army will die. But according to the students, Brother Hou is trapped in a corner of Guangxi, and it will not be possible, and in the future, if the matter fails, the officials and soldiers will kill people again, and they will be ...... The students thought that the way to let the elders of the family live was not to do so. ”
"What then?"
If Brother Hou is interested, in June this year, get together in Guilin, and then meet and talk in detail, to see if we can discuss a better way than now. Anyway, it's not a way to do it now, and the court will always come to fight, right? Even if you're the emperor, you won't just leave it at that......"
"Brother Ding!" The scalper, who had never spoken, suddenly shouted at Ding Yi, and then repeated Ding Yi's words angrily, but asked, "Do I have any mistakes?" I respect my brother, Brother Hou takes care of me a lot, and I will send a fast horse to carry it when I say this, but whether Brother Hou listens or not, I really can't do it. ”
"Thank you." Ding Yi raised his hand and waved at the scalper, "If it is done, the war in Guangxi will be extinguished, and the people should remember the name of the scalper." ”
The scalper was very shy and humble, and he didn't dare to say anything.
Zheng Ang didn't know what Lu Dao was for, and after Ding Yi said it, he couldn't even drink the wine, but when he was dull, he heard the noise outside, and then someone shouted: "The surnamed Ding killed Brother Hou Qi, and now he killed Brother Niu and Brother Zheng, brothers, go in to avenge the brothers!" For a while, the voices were surging, Zheng Ang couldn't help but change color, and shouted a few times that he was fine, but thousands of people outside were shouting, where could I hear his words?
A few henchmen he brought with him wanted to run out of the city, but he stopped the scalpers with a voice: "It's useless, when I get out, there will be arrows from nowhere, and I will be shot to death; The knife that came from nowhere cut me over. After that, he took out an ancient vine from his waist, bit it in his mouth and blew it, and the extremely high-pitched and long voice came out, and the scalper looked back and said to Ding Yi, "Mr. Rongcheng, sit down, this is the ghost surnamed Chai, wait for me to block for a few quarters of an hour, wait for my old brothers to come, he can't make any tricks......"
Ding Yi smiled and nodded, but he was not as optimistic as a scalper.
There are some things that are going to come out, and it's hard to take them back.
Like water, like ambition.
Although he didn't recognize Tuoba Zhenge and Murong Qiushui, Ding knew that it was impossible for Ding Yi to dare to fish in such troubled waters and then frame someone Ding. He dared to send troops to avenge the scalpers and others, but he was afraid that Hou Qi had really been killed by him.
And those who dare to do this will definitely have other arrangements to deal with those scalpers and Zheng Ang's subordinates, and want to wait for those subordinates to come down to save them, unless Tuoba Zhenge hacks Ding Yi, scalpers, Zheng Ang and others to death, then there is a possibility of these, right? And if this plan is successful, Ding Yi knows very well that the people who launched this plan will not only get the soldiers and horses under Huaiji and the scalpers.
If Da Ming folds another Guangxi military governor, as long as the war on the Yungui side is settled, he will inevitably transfer troops and horses to suppress it, otherwise he will have it? So Hou Dagou and the imperial court were about to start a big war. Huaiji is a strategic place, and there are thousands of soldiers and horses under his command, and at this time, he will be able to develop a military horse, but I am afraid that Hou Dagou and Daming will be at peace with the war, and they will find that there is an extra force that should not be underestimated.
The benefits are great, but so are the risks.
It's absolutely impossible to turn back.
It's like Ding is out of Beijing.
Like a tiger getting off the wheel.
or Xiao Ju is king;
or death. (To be continued......)
