It took more than three hours, and at four o'clock in the afternoon, Master Fang finally summoned most of the people in the yamen back. Xin'an is a small county, and there is no county. Dian Shi is a local, surnamed Xiong Maojun, in his thirties, when the Guangfu Army entered the city, he was taking a nap at home, and only when the movement outside was big did he know that "there were foreign soldiers entering the city". Seeing the soldiers patrolling the streets, they didn't dare to fight the idea of escaping from the city, and when Master Fang came to the door, they had to report to the yamen obediently. Most of the county school teachers and the six-room clerks are powerless literati, and when they see the bright bayonets on the soldiers' rifles, how dare they disobey? The families of the third class of officials and various "temporary workers" are all in the city, and the monks can't run the temple, except for a few singles, they all return to the county government after being notified by Master Fang.

Among the people who didn't find it, there was Shi Guoan, who was catching the head of the fast shift, but this person "still has some real kung fu, and it is not a problem to come and go, maybe he has gone over the wall." Ma Angelica listened to Master Fang's speculation, and then thought of the four-meter-high city wall, and nodded in recognition of this statement.

Looking at the more than 100 people in the black crows under the hall, they all hung their heads down, looking low and pleasing to their eyes, but they only glanced at the horse angelica sitting on it from time to time. A cough attracted everyone's attention, and Ma Angelica began to speak. "As you must know, this army has taken over the county seat of Xin'an, and the rule of the Manchu court over it will end from today. I believe that Master Fang should have told everyone the purpose of this army, that is, to 'expel the Tartars and restore China', to drive down the Aixin Jueluo family and their minions who are riding on the head of the Han people, and to make the Han people the real masters of this country. After a pause, Ma Angelica stood up and began to count the crimes of the Manchu court, all of which were provided by Chen Jianhua, a "history expert" among the survivors and a graduate of the History Department of Sun Yat-sen University, who was the fat man who dropped the bookbag with Fang Congze. Ma Angelica talked about the Opium War from Houjin's entry into the Central Plains several times to the Opium War more than ten years ago, and directly denounced the Manchu court for "having no way to govern the country and harming the people". The Old Summer Palace has become a forest of wine ponds and meat, and evidence of extreme poverty and luxury; The Taiping uprising shows that the people of the Qing Dynasty have reached the point where they cannot survive without rebellion; The Opium War, and the ongoing Second Opium War, were even more ironclad facts of the corruption and incompetence of the Manchu court; The cession of Hong Kong is even more unforgivable, "Jianzhou savages, why do you sell my Han family's land?" ”

"I will be able to regain the army and relieve the people from hanging, and in the future, I will be able to look at the scenery, recover the rivers and mountains, and rebuild China!" Ma Angelica waved his right hand vigorously and ended his speech with an impassioned slogan.

It's a pity that the audience below didn't cooperate at all, neither raised their heads nor spoke, let alone applause and cheers, which made Ma Angelica feel a sense of frustration with the cow playing the piano. The above speech was written by Chen Jianhua and several graduates majoring in Chinese, and it can be regarded as half-literate and half-white. It's just that the civil servants of the 19th century can't accurately understand the vocabulary of the 21st century, and the popularity of the official dialect in the capital is sad, and the following people only understand one thing: the Guangfu Army wants to rebel!

Rebel! What a terrible word, it makes people think of the head falling to the ground, it makes people think of the whole door of the beheading, and it makes people think of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom that swept half of the country. However, these are very far away from them, but the incident of the Heaven and Earth Association in Dongguan a few years ago happened around them. In May of the fifth year of Xianfeng, He Liu, the leader of the Heaven and Earth Society, gathered a few cadres in Nanpu, Tiegang, Longdi (belonging to Zengcheng), Chashan and other places near Shilong, and made an incident in the Longdi Sacrifice Flag across the river from Shilong. The head of the thief army is wrapped in a red scarf, so it is called the red turban army. He Liu proclaimed himself the Generalissimo of the East Road. Jiang Zhaoen, the magistrate of Dongguan, led his troops to suppress it, but was defeated by the thief army. He Liuchengsheng put forward the slogan of "taking the dragon (stone dragon), catching the tiger (Humen), splitting the sheep (Guangzhou), worshiping the Buddha (Foshan), and going to the west (Tianjing)". On May 15, the thief army conquered Shilong and killed the guerrilla Feng and 4 thousand generals. On the twenty-second day of May, they surrounded Guancheng, attacked from the north gate, burned the Gongbei Building of the County Bureau, smashed open the prison, and captured Jiang Zhaoen and Du Si Mo Qiliang alive. On the second day of the first month of June, He Liu, Huaiji Chen Jinjiang, Chen Kai of Foshan, Li Wenmao of Guangzhou and other Hong soldiers jointly attacked Guangzhou. In the winter month, the officers and soldiers from all walks of life will suppress it, and the thieves and soldiers will flee by different routes. In the fifth year of Xianfeng, He Liu lost the battle with the Hunan army, lost more than 20,000 soldiers, retreated to Chenzhou, and captured and killed the official army in Maosuwei. In February of the seventh year of Xianfeng, Chen Jinjiang led more than 10,000 people directly under his subordinates to enter Kou Qingyuan, and all kinds of flood soldiers gathered in Binjiang to support Chen Jinjiang as the "King of the Southern Heavens". On the sixth day of the first month of August, Chen Jinjiang led 50,000 troops to attack the "fence gate" of the ancient road bordering Yangshan in Huaiji at night in the rain, seized the Fenggang Fort in Huaiji, and occupied the county seat of Huaiji on the ninth day of the first month. This year, the thieves broke into Jian, Fengchuan, Xindu, Hexian, Fuchuan, Pingle, Zhongshan and other counties. In the past few years of war, the people have been displaced and their lives have been ruined, and there is no happy land in Lingnan.

This time, the Yangyi came to attack, but only attacked Humen and the provincial wall, and did not harass the place. thought that the foreign soldiers would only need to respond to the story to keep them safe, but they were coerced by the thieves. Thinking of the fate of raiding the family and exterminating the clan, many people secretly resented Master Fang who pulled him into the pit.

Fang Congze had already begun to sweat on his forehead at this time, and the resentful gazes of his colleagues made him uncomfortable, and the gaze of the person behind the big case made him feel like a man. He has made up his mind, whether it is a dragon or a thief, it is important to save his life first. Originally, he should have stood up at this time to respond to the "call of the revolution", but the reserve of the scholar and the teachings of the saint made him unable to pull his head.

When Master Fang was engaged in a fierce ideological struggle, someone came out to relieve him. "Rebels, you recognize thieves as fathers, and act as tigers. But the fox is fake and the tiger is powerful, and it is just rampant for a while. When his soldiers arrive, they will destroy the decay and decay, and they will turn into powder. An old man looked up and glared, and scolded with a halberd.

Seeing another "loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty" jumping out, Ma Angelica felt a little funny. This old man should be in his fifties, his hair and beard have turned gray, and he is wearing a zombie suit. Ma Angelica didn't understand the top and complement of the representative officials at all, and he didn't know how many officials he was, so he asked, "Who are you?" What kind of official is he becoming? ”

"Zhao Wuyan of Lao Fuhua County, Daoguang Year 21 years, is now the county's teaching. So that you and others know that the old man is favored by the country, and he is not at odds with you and other Han thieves! The old man who had been standing in the middle of the crowd stepped out of the crowd, and the people around him automatically stepped aside.

Chen Jianhua, who was next to him, looked at the brocade quail complement hanging on his chest, and said with a smile: "A sesame mung bean official with eight grades, is he embarrassed to say that the world is favored by the country?" ”

Zhao Wuyan snorted, "Eat the king's lu, bear the king's worries." The old man will imitate that Yan Changshan tongue today, scold the thief and die. As he spoke, he puffed up his chest and appeared in front of everyone with a tall and complete image that looked at death as if he were at home.

Chen Jianhua made up his mind not to let Zhao Wuyan get what he wanted. "Wen Tianxiang composed "Song of Righteousness", promoting my Chinese Haoran righteousness, you, a slave who loves the Xinjue Luo family, are embarrassed to compare yourself to Yan Gaoqing? It's really shameless, the traitor is your name. ”

The word "traitor" made Zhao Wuyan tremble with anger, and he defended himself in his mouth: "The Qing family has been in charge of the Central Plains for more than 200 years, and all the people in the world think that China is Zhengshuo, and the old man is loyal to the court and educates the locality, how can such an infamy as a traitor be added to the old man's head?" ”

Without waiting for the "historical expert" Chen Jianhua to refute, Ma Angelica slapped the table and shouted: "Enough!" Just talk about it, don't practice the mouth style. The legitimacy of the Manchu government is not determined by your mouth. I'm just asking you now! Have you turned from darkness to the light and returned to the bosom of the people? Or is he willing to be a Qing court eagle dog to isolate himself from the people? ”

Zhao Wuyan turned around and stood with his hands in his hands, raised his head at 45 degrees to look up at the sky, and chanted in his mouth: "Who has not died in life since ancient times?" Keep Dan in mind. "A righteous and awe-inspiring look made Ma Angelica cry and laugh." It seems that you want to be a loyal martyr of the Qing court? Ma Angelica's tone was gloomy, his face showed a fierce look, and he stared directly at Zhao Jiaoyu. The latter ignored it as if he hadn't heard. The newly released Supreme Commander of the Liberation Army did not allow this reactionary official to challenge his authority and shouted: "Someone is coming! ”

The two soldiers stepped forward, and Ma Angelica pointed at the "diehard" and said: "Since Zhao Jiaoyu wants to be a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty, then General Ben will fulfill you!" Then he instructed the two soldiers: "You go and give Lord Zhao a ride, don't neglect him!" ”

Zhao Wuyan shook his arms to break free from the soldiers' coercion, and glared at Ma Angelica angrily, "The old man is loyal and brave, and he is worthy of the sky and the ground, how can he be afraid of the sword and axe of you?" As long as the old man is immortal, watch in the sky and wait for the ashes to disappear! With that, he turned around and walked out of the gate.

After a while, I heard Zhao Wuyan's scream outside, and after a while, a soldier came back with a bloody human head. The cadres and others in the hall were all trembling in horror, although everyone had seen the beheading during the autumn duel, but after all, it was the ruling class; Now when you see a colleague of the ruling class in a different place, how can you not sigh with sadness? Some of the timid people had uncontrolled sphincters, a peculiar smell permeated the lobby, and some fainted.

At this time, the person who sang the white face as usual appeared. Political Commissar Shen first arranged for people to send people who fainted down to rest, and then collected more than ten pairs of pants from the back office to change into those who made a fool of themselves, and then began to calm everyone's emotions. "Ladies and gentlemen, the world is in turmoil today, with Britain, France, the United States, and Russia violating the border, and the Taiping Army inside, and heaven and earth will be revealed. In the final analysis, it was all because the Manchu Qing Dynasty had no way, vainly cared about the people's livelihood, and did not want to forge ahead. You can't defend yourself against the enemy outside, and you can't keep the people safe inside. People with lofty ideals in the world have succeeded one after another in order to save the country and rejuvenate the country, and our Guangfu Army has taken the rejuvenation of China as its own responsibility. Although Zhao's teachings are light and righteous, his courage is commendable. However, he was short-sighted, focused on small things and disregarded the general righteousness, and finally ended up like this, which can only be said to be sad! Alas! Pitiful and hateful! Glancing at the embarrassed crowd, Commissar Shen continued: "There was a sage who once said, 'The general trend of the world, the vast soup, those who go along with it prosper, and those who go against it die.'" 'The Manchu Qing Dynasty overtook millions of foreign races and hundreds of millions of Han people, and the Han people were more protected than the Yangyi, and only protected the Qing Dynasty but not China. In such a perverse court, there are still Han people who are loyal, and they promise themselves Yan Changshan! How can Prime Minister Wen be blind under the spring? In the face of the general trend of the world, Zhao Jiaoyu tried to block the car with his mantis arm, and his ending could only be crushed! I hope that everyone can clearly understand the situation, abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and join the great, glorious and correct camp of reviving China! ”
