Chapter 247: Mutual Temptation
In the big tent, Qian Jiang was frightened and stunned, since leaving the camp in Jiangbei, he originally planned to follow Hechun to the south and take refuge in Hechun, but unfortunately in Baoshan County, he was shocked by the Qing army's cold-blooded methods of indiscriminately killing innocents and killing good people. At that time, Qianjiang changed his mind, and felt that the Manchu Qing Dynasty was not the master of the Ming Dynasty, but when he heard that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom wantonly destroyed the three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism in Tianjing, he also felt that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom could not be assisted, so there was only a soldier and horse of the Taiping Army in the West Temple, and the prestige among the people in the market was still quite haode, so Qian Jiang pretended to be a fleeing person to Suzhou, and he planned to go to Wuxi, Zhenjiang and other places under the rule of the West Palace.
Unexpectedly, there was a storm in Suzhou, and the flood could not move forward, so Qianjiang followed the fleeing people and was taken in and taken care of by the Taiping Army in the West Temple. During those days, Qian Jiang turned a cold eye and found that the Taiping Army of the West Hall was indeed not as xenophobic and violent as the Taiping Army of Tianjing. They comforted the people, and vigorously treated the plague in Suzhou, and even people from the three families of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism followed the Taiping army to give medicine to the doctors. In the refugee camps, the Taiping Army organized the refugees to take responsibility for their own work and work according to their individual abilities to fight the plague together. There, Qianjiang felt that the people around him, everyone had an indescribable sense of relief, and everyone burst out with unprecedented energy, which made Qianjiang look sideways.
Later, Qian Jiang heard about the deeds of the king of the west from the mouths of many Taiping soldiers and people, from breaking Changsha to going down to Wuchang, from the chessboard to the self-leading army, from the three sects and nine streams to the pawns of the peddlers, the king of the west was treated equally, and he also gathered a lot of brave generals and strategists around him. The most rare thing is that although the king of the west believes in foreign religion, he is not xenophobic, where the Taiping army of the west hall goes, the foundation of the three families of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism is well preserved, and the relationship between the king of the west and the foreigners seems to be good. What surprised Qian Jiang even more was the combat power of the Taiping Army in the West Palace, and the soldiers of the Taiping Army in the West Hall were brave and good at fighting. In Suzhou Qianjiang, I saw a king of the west who was supported by the army and the people. After the Taiping army captured Suzhou, Qian Jiang calculated that the Taiping army would solve the war in Shanghai, so he returned to the vicinity of Shanghai.
Last night, Qian Jiang picked up the lamp and transcribed the Xingwang policy, and he thought in his heart that the king of the west was the master he was looking for, and when he wrote the twelfth policy, Qian Jiang deleted the original text of the original admonition to the king to weaken the power of the kings, and he pondered for half the night to change this policy to replace it. In his opinion, the king of the west is not a thing in the pool, and he will definitely replace the king of heaven in the future, and only when the king of the west is the lord of the peace, there will be hope for the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to oppose the Qing Dynasty.
So Qian Jiang came to the place of the king of the west to offer advice, but when he saw the strength of the king of the west, Qian Jiang was a little at a loss. Zuihou Qianjiang was afraid that he would be looked down upon by the King of the West, so he took the risk and said something to let the King of the West take his place. He originally thought that the king of the West was a generation of masters. Ambitious would definitely agree with his words, but he didn't expect the king of the west to turn his face and kill himself.
Picked up by the West Temple Guards like a chicken, Qian Jiangwu did not give up, and shouted in his mouth: "King Xi, everything you say below is for your good, and it is not a long-term thing to be controlled by others......"
Xiao Yungui shouted. kicked the table and said angrily: "Hugh is talking nonsense, quickly pull it down and cut it!" β
Several ginseng guards carried Qian Jiang and left, Qian Jiang was so frightened that he begged for mercy again and again, but Xiao Yungui was unmoved. It wasn't until Qianjiang was dragged out of the tent that Xiao Yungui beckoned and asked Li Xuanji to come over, Xiao Yungui whispered a few words in Li Xuanji's ear, and Li Xuanji turned around and walked out of the big tent.
Qian Jiang was tied up by Wuhua under the flagpole in the camp, several guards held him down, an executioner raised a snowy big knife, Qian Jiang sighed: "It's a pity that my Qianjiang Mingzhu secretly invested, this Xiao Chaogui is also a person who is not enough to conspire!" After saying that, he closed his eyes and waited for death.
Just when the executioner's big knife was about to swing down, Li Xuanji's crisp and soft voice came: "Leave someone under the knife, and the king of the west will bring him back!" β
When Qian Jiang heard this, he suddenly collapsed on the ground and was returned to the camp tent by several West Temple guards.
Back in the tent, Xiao Yungui saw that Qian Jiang was so frightened that he was out of strength, smiled slightly and ordered someone to help him sit on the chair, and ordered the staff to retreat, leaving only him and Li Xuanji in the tent.
Xiao Yungui stepped forward and personally brought a cup of tea to Qian Jiang and said, "Mr. Qian is frightened, so take a sip of tea to suppress the shock." Then he pulled Zhang Zizi to sit in front of Qian Jiang, stared at Qian Jiang and said slowly: "Mr. Qian's talent is good, but he doesn't understand the sophistication of people, some things can only be understood but not spoken, and even more cannot be declared. β
Qian Jiang drank a few sips of hot tea, his mind was a little calm, and he also understood what Xiao Yungui said, and secretly scolded himself for messing up, how could he just talk about persuading people to betray the master? He nodded yes busily with hot tea in his hand.
Xiao Yungui said lightly: "This king is in a delicate situation, I don't know how many people want to come to tempt, now the time has not come, this king is still loyal to the king of heaven, the slightest mistake is made, and it is extremely inappropriate to be told the truth." At first hearing Mr.'s words just now, this king wanted to test Mr. to see if he was the one who came to tempt him, but he did not change his mind until he died, so it seems that no one sent him to test him. Let the gentleman be frightened, and please forgive the sin. After that, Xiao Yungui hugged his fists and gave a salute.
Qian Jiang hurriedly put down the cup and returned the salute and said: "The king of the West is really the lord of the world, thick and fine, not bewitched by external forces, able to distinguish right from wrong, and respectful." In fact, Qian Jiang was secretly frightened in his heart, he didn't expect Xiao Yungui to be such a treacherous tyrant, obviously what he was thinking in his heart was said by himself, but he had to go to great lengths to test himself, but this is okay, it seems that he has passed this level, and the king of the West will treat him like a confidant.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Yungui touched his nose and smiled and said: "The male lord doesn't dare to be, you must be saying in your heart that this king is a traitor and a hero." Qian Jiang was startled, how did King Xi know what he was thinking?
Xiao Yungui looked at Qian Jiang with interest, this person is extraordinary, but his psychological quality is too poor, this kind of person is easy to control, what he is most afraid of is the kind of person who is scheming, what he says is that his face is full of ancient wells, then he doesn't know what he thinks in his heart.
"A haode counselor only needs to give advice to his lord, and not to speculate on what his lord is thinking." Xiao Yungui said coldly in a low voice: "And this king wants a loyal person, do you understand?" β
Qian Jiang nodded busily, under Xiao Yungui's strength, Qian Jiang seemed to have identified Xiao Yungui as the master.
Xiao Yungui stood up and said: "Since Mr. has decided to take refuge in this king, from today onwards, he will be the king's army member, and he will be the same as the superintendent of the army, and he will make contributions in the future, and this king will naturally not be treated badly." β
Qian Jiang was pleasantly surprised, although he didn't know how big an official he was to supervise the army and join the army, but it was better than being a small staff member on the Manchu side, so he hurriedly got up and thanked him, Xiao Yungui waved his hand and said with a smile: "In the future, it will be my own person, and these red tapes will be exempted." This king has a headache now, and I ask Mr. to help me take a closer look. β
Qian Jiang cheered up and listened carefully, intending to show his skills in front of Xiao Yungui, Xiao Yungui slowly told the Guandao Gang and the Ningbo Gang about taking refuge, and also told his worries.
After listening to this, Qian Jiang pondered for a moment and said: "The King of the West does not need to worry, this matter is easy, since these gangs have taken refuge, the King of the West naturally has to accept it, the Kingdom of Heaven has opened the door to recruit heroes from all over the world, and it is best to have these gangs to take refuge as an example, and you must not kill one person and refuse a hundred people." However, the worries of the king of the west are also reasonable, these gangs are backsliding, it is not easy to control, and it is difficult to take on big responsibilities. I thought that if this was not the case, the leader of the gang could be raised by high-ranking officials, put it in the cabinet, and be promoted and secretly denied real power. One of its gangs can be included in the armies, and one can be handed over to the henchmen of the West King to lead the leadership, which is still the Shanghai City Gang Shili, which governs the underworld here, so that the original gang Shili can be dispersed, and the gang people who take refuge can be appeased, which can kill two birds with one stone. β
Xiao Yungui touched his chin and nodded, "This Wang Yuan also thought about doing this, but I am afraid that those gang leaders will not give up their subordinates. β
Qian Jiang said with a smile: "This matter is easy, didn't the king of the West say that Wu Jianzhang was captured by the gangs and killed?" It was also said that Wu Jianzhang had a close relationship with foreigners, and that the king of the West could transfer them out of Shanghai under the pretext that the foreigners wanted to find the bad luck of these gang leaders. Besides, aren't these gang leaders working hard for the sake of glory and wealth? If they can have peace and tea to eat, I don't think they will continue to live the days of licking blood on the knife, as long as they give grace and power in everything, I think these people will know the current affairs. β
Xiao Yungui said with a smile: "Yes, there are many people who have offended those gangs, and they are very weak-hearted, as long as they are scared, they will be given an empty title and official position, and send them back to Suzhou to enjoy happiness. Xiao Yungui and Qian Jiang looked at each other, as if a wolf had found an embarrassment.
Then Xiao Yungui asked again: "By the way, the previous gentleman said that the strategy of Li Jin was offered by Rong Lu, and this king is curious to know what it is." β
Qian Jiang said with a sigh: "Rong Lu is rumored to be a Manchu Qing Dynasty White Banner people, his father is the chief soldier longevity, is one of the four general soldiers who died in the battle of Longliao Ridge, this person is a grandfather, father merit, served as a palace guard, and then was sent to Jiangnan to run an errand, somehow did not return to Beijing after completing the errand, but went to the camp in Jiangbei. After he offered the strategy of the gold, he was deeply appreciated by the minister Qi Shan, and heard that Qi Shan had already made a setback, and Bao Ju Ronglu stayed in the camp in Jiangbei as a military attachΓ©. Qi Shan has been in officialdom for many years and has a wide range of contacts, so he expects that Rong Lu's release will be a sure thing. Rong Lu is only seventeen years old, it is said that he is both civil and military, he can offer a golden strategy, it is expected that the talent is not under the villain, and he will be the enemy of heaven in the future, if there is a chance, he should be eliminated as soon as possible. β
Xiao Yungui beat a drum in his heart, thinking of the rumors that the Taiping King killed the king before, and the current strategy of Li Jin, it seems that it must be the handiwork of this Rong Lu, Rong Lu in history does not show his talent at the moment, and the Rong Lu talent in history is not high, Zuihou He relied on the Empress Dowager Cixi to get a high position. Even if the arrival of himself and Hong Yun'er brings about any butterfly effect, Xiao Yungui believes that it is impossible to make a person much more intelligent than before, and the only reasonable explanation is that this Rong Lu is very likely to have traveled through like himself!
