Chapter 44: The Opposite! I can't live this day! (5th Update)
Woooooooo
Filth, filth, filth
With a burst of noise, a wooden ironclad ship made of wood inside and wrapped in iron sheets on the outside, driven by a steam engine, slowly left Hong Kong and headed for Guangzhou. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
As for Cai Yan and Shi A, after learning about the operating principle of the steam engine, they had to be amazed.
"The way of machinery in this world, that is, the so-called science, although it is not very good in terms of high-end combat power, but in the bits and pieces of life, it has changed a lot. Even I find many things very convenient. Shi Ah thought back to the huge steam engine he had seen in the cabin just now, and then said with great emotion.
Even ordinary people who have no cultivation can rely on firearms to have a certain chance to kill second-order innate masters.
Even if it is just an ordinary person, when operating the cannon, he still has the opportunity to kill the third-order grandmaster master. Of course, this chance is even more slim.
Moreover, the ship did not depend on the sails, did not depend on the direction of the wind, and directly relied on the so-called steam engine, and went straight to the ground, which is really wonderful.
Although it is still not as good as the big ships in the Overworld in terms of speed, comfort, and combat effectiveness, it is cheap enough.
Those big ships in the main world, even if they are cheap, cost tens of thousands of taels. If it's a little better, it will cost hundreds of thousands of taels. A first-class warship is a million-dollar tael of silver.
Moreover, those warships still use spirit stones. Ordinary people can't afford to use it at all. In contrast, Shi Ah admired these mechanical creations even more.
"This thing is indeed very magical, but unfortunately in the Overworld, eighty percent of it is useless. When it is used, the damage to the aura is too serious. Even if the Heavenly Dao does not stop it and does not send down the heavenly curse, those monks will definitely stop it. Cai Yan said with some pity.
Looking at the huge black smoke constantly emitted from the chimney of the ironclad ship, Cai Yan knew that this thing was destined to have no future in the main world. Harmony between man and nature is the main theme of the main world.
For the sake of ordinary people's lives, using this thing, constantly polluting the environment, destroying the aura, and finally going to the end of the world, it can be said that whenever there is a possibility, many powers will directly take action to extinguish this thing in the embryo.
Just when Cai Yan and the others were observing around, Lin Yang was talking to Zheng Hong and asking about the situation.
"Now the imperial court also knows that the Ming Duke is about to rebel. After all, privately storing military armor, training private soldiers, and privately opening military schools, as long as all the officials of the imperial court are not brain-dead, they will be prepared. ”
"And now, the masters here in Guangzhou have the governor of Liangguang and the minister of the Qincha, Sai Shang'a, who is a person from the Eight Banners. At the same time, he is also the master of the upper study, belonging to the famous traitor, and his strength is a master of the three-grade grandmaster. It's that kind of veteran grandmaster, not to be underestimated. ”
"There is also Ye Mingchen, the governor of Guangzhou, who is a Han Chinese. In terms of strength, he is also a third-grade grandmaster. ”
"There is also Zeng Guofan, the strength of the three-grade grandmaster, and he is also a Han. Hey, there are so many traitors. ”
"There is also the main Red Flag Banner Master Ta Cha among the Eight Banners, this person's strength is also a third-grade grandmaster. In addition, this person used to go crazy when he was young, and later he had a habit of eating raw children's hearts and livers. ”
"In addition, there is the big traitor Bai Swen. This person was originally a person from the Han Army Banner, but now he has become a Man Army Banner person. One strength, probably the appearance of four grades. ”
"And ......"
"This is the situation of the big and small masters in Guangzhou City. So, just in case, I will invite the three of you to come over and press the formation. If you're lucky, you might not have to make a move. ”
"And the purpose of our trip is to incite the squires to rebel. When the time comes, the squires will rebel, and whether they succeed or not, these Manchus will inevitably distrust the Han people even more. At that time, the group training will not be formed. ”
"In this way, the enemy of the entire Guangzhou is the green battalion like Zhenghongqi and tens of thousands of tofu scum." Zheng Hong slowly introduced.
Soon, everyone came to the destination of this time - Sanyuanli.
This place is not simple, in the Opium War a few years ago, when the old man Guan Tianpei died in Humen, the British also died, well, several dead.
But in this place in Sanyuanli, five were killed at once. Moreover, he was beaten to death by the villagers. From this, we can see how the squire here got it.
But as a result, such a powerful squire, after the war, did not have a reward at all. Not only that, but the three squires who took the lead and had a reputation for raising people's fame, and one of them was stripped of his fame, which is really unfair to the court and the people are not happy.
Therefore, in Zheng Hong's view, the squires here are resentful of the imperial court, and their strength is strong, at least stronger than the green camp. Therefore, it is still easy to use some means to force the squire here.
……
"What. Do you want to enclose the ground for military training? What other recruits are being trained? What the hell is this court going to do! ”
"How much will you give if you enclose the land?"
"Twenty taels per acre? However, do you have to pay off the arrears over the years? ”
"Lu Xiucai, Lu Xiucai, hurry up and calculate, if you remove the arrears, how much more can you get?" A big man hurriedly said.
This person is Uncle Wei Shaoguang, who led the people in Sanyuan back then, took advantage of the rainy day and fought several fights with the British army. Because it is more capable of fighting, it is also very burly, and it once led the people to besiege the British army, so it is also a famous thorn in Guangzhou City.
"Well, if you remove the arrears, on average, there are five taels of silver per acre." Lu Xiucai calculated for a moment, and then said.
"What? Encircle one acre of land and only give five taels of silver, this is too dark, right? Uncle Wei said loudly.
"Well, second master, it's not that there are five taels left, but you still need to pay five taels. The money owed to the government per mu of land is at least twenty-five taels. Lu Xiucai said cautiously. After speaking, he took the account book to Uncle Wei.
"There must be traitors in this court, and this still doesn't let the people live." As soon as he thought of this, Uncle Wei's heart became unhappy.
"Well, second master, I still don't talk about Tian. I tell you, your affair has happened, and the court intends to take your head as a gift to please the British. ”
"What? Why? Wei Shaoguang said a little panicked.
"Hey, there are rebels everywhere nowadays, in order to gain the support of Yingyi, so some people say that you will take your head as a gift. As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, the official master above also agreed. Then, Lord Lin didn't want to let the loyal ministers suffer, so he asked people to come and report the news. Lu Xiucai shook his head and said in a low voice.
"Run? But the world is so big, where can you flee to? As he spoke, Uncle Wei fished his head anxiously. Originally, there were not a few hairs on his head, but this time, he suddenly became a big bald head.
"I'm fighting with them!" After speaking, Uncle Wei went out directly and rang the bell to summon the squire and the people.
Looking at Uncle Wei's hot appearance, Lu Xiucai couldn't help but nodded. Only those with such a violent temper dared to directly lead the people and attack the British army.
"I don't live anymore, I can't live this day!"
"Not only don't you look for our silver, but you also want us to give the court silver, which makes you not allowed to live! God has no eyes! ”
"Hehe, the imperial court wants to train the New Army of the Eight Banners, and encircle us a little, what is it? Whoever dares to stop it wants to rebel, so those Han officials and lords naturally dare not dissuade them. ”
"What is the New Army of the Eight Banners, there is Chen Ming of Nalu Mountain far away, and he directly took his Chen Family Army, and the Eight Banners Horse Team and the Mongolian Horse Team were beaten and could not be found in the north. There are the people of our Sanyuan nearby, and they directly defeated the British army. ”
"Yes, foreigners are afraid of the people, the people are afraid of officials, and officials are afraid of foreigners, this day is really impossible to live......"
"Rebel!"
"Rebellion is a ...... that kills the head"
"Is there a way to live if you don't rebel?"
"But ......"
"Nothing good but ......"
Standing at the window, listening to the discussion of the villagers outside, Lu Peifang, the head of the squire in Sanyuan, kept sighing. In this era, in the countryside, it is these squires who really call the shots.
"Daddy, it's the other way around. Once there is a rebellion, we will make a great contribution at that time. When Ming Gong comes, he will definitely be able to be a big official. Lu Xiucai hurriedly persuaded.
In the past few days, with the cooperation of the Hongmen brothers, they have changed the government's statement of 40 taels of silver per mu and full exemption of arrears to 20 taels of silver per mu, which is not exempt from arrears.
Fortunately, Hongmen has great magical powers, and after this thing was done, no one in the Guangzhou government found out. If it is placed in the future generations, the people in Sanyuan will pass it directly on the Internet, and it will be a gang!
"This rebellion will be defeated! What are you trying to do? ”
"As long as the Manchu adults in Guangzhou City are in charge, they don't trust the Han people at all. At the very least, a thorn should be buried. With this thorn, the rest is much easier! ”
"What if you get killed?"
"Don't be afraid of this, when the time comes, just hide on the boat and run to Hong Kong. It's really not good, Daddy can go to Hong Kong Jishi University and be a faculty member at that time. ”
After a long time, Lu Peifang sneered a few times, and then said firmly: "Okay, then I'll take out this old bone and make a good fuss." For my son, make a future! ”
As soon as the words fell, Zheng Hong, Lin Yang and others appeared directly. At this time, Zheng Hong was dressed as a marquis of the Ming Dynasty, and he was dressed in colorful clothes, which was very conspicuous.
"Okay, good, Old Man Lu is willing to cooperate, it's really good. Next, it's up to us. This place is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is still in the mountains and forests, and the artillery of the Qing army is almost useless. Even the Eight Banners Horse Team didn't have much effect. ”
"When the time comes, the villagers, just stay here. In this way, there will be no major casualties. In addition, we have prepared 1,000 well-made foreign guns, 300,000 rounds of ammunition, and 300 boxes of grenades......"
