The team was still forming inside the temple, and Agaha was already waiting a little impatiently outside the temple. He is the kind of character called "iron-headed worm" among the children of the Eight Banners of Manchuria - the gnats who have survived the winter, can go to the Beijing Division, up to the princes and nobles, down to the beggars who sell songs, lead cars and sell pulp, etc., and the cockfighting lackeys and eagles feed the parrots in the field - the ancestors of the family have sweat and blood merits, and some of them talk about their mouths, and the antique calligraphy and painting are broken copper and rotten iron, and the top is worthy of the pawnshop - the lower people look at him as a relative of the heavenly family Half a golden branch and jade leaf, the nobles above see that he is a descendant of Xun Qi, and there is a mother with a big face resting, and everyone who goes to say "This grasshopper is really handsome" - In fact, it's just a boast of the cage of the silk gnat--the Eastern Han Dynasty's foreign relatives have been fighting the party so far, and the children of the noble families through the ages have not realized this truth - the Zongren Mansion is idle and bored and transferred to the Internal Affairs Office, and the Internal Affairs Office is slow to be promoted, and it is transferred out to be a military errand, and it is good to return to Beijing for promotion after a few years. Such an abacus met Fukangan today. He took the deputy pipe belt, as well as the ten shack chiefs in the camp, and a clerk stood outside the temple, waiting for the probe to probe his brain, and stretched his neck several times to look in, and the majesty of the pro-soldiers standing guard in the mountain gate forced him to retreat, sticking out his tongue and making a grimace and laughing: "Fourth Master Fu saw that the old Fu Heng was like a cat and mouse, and he was so majestic when he went out!" The clerk shrugged the rabbit skin earmuffs and sneered: "Do you know the fourth master in Beijing?" ”

"Recognize! How don't you know! Fulong'an, Fu Ling'an, are all old ticket holders! Agaha shook his pigtails and smiled, "Once this brother couldn't memorize a book, he wanted to beat him, or did I beg for love!" …… The fourth master likes to lead soldiers, he is a general's fetus, you will know it as soon as you see it...... "is bragging nonsense, Wang Jibao came out to give the order to call in, so he stopped, drummed in his heart, smiled on his face, and walked into the temple. As soon as he entered the mountain gate, he felt that the atmosphere was wrong. He Lao Liu told him that "Fu Siye brought more than a dozen followers to come in the night", but there were four large square teams in this temple, and they were lined up in two compartments in the east and west of Yongdao, and everyone stood tall under the big cypress tree that covered the sky and the sun with a hanging knife in the waist of the legs, and there was a pro-soldier almost every three steps next to the monument under the corridor, and the hand pressed the handle of the knife and stood guard like a nail, and the courtyard was full of soldiers like a forest knife and a sword tree, and the gasping cough and phlegm were not heard, and the slaughter was suffocating. The big iron incense burner in front of the Jade Emperor's hall burns cypress sticks and sandalwood, just like the usual cigarette smoke is shrouded, more than 20 military academy leather armor and silver robes are lined up next to the goose, more than 30 musketeers are also hanging big knives and spears upright, all of them are big men, all of them have hideous faces, and there is a young general in the middle, and it is also a white robe and silver armor, and a white cloth is hung next to the top of the two-layer Dongzhu gold dragon.

More than a dozen people came in to see this formation, at first a bit like a sleepwalker, and like a half-drunk drunk, dazed and swaying, along the long "soldier forest" to the main hall platform walked to wake up, and a bit like a single hunter who walked into the dense forest, panicked around colliding with each other, all full of cold sweat and weak legs, subconsciously "rubbing" forward. Until Wang Jibao shouted: "Sign up!" The crowd was taken aback, and Agaha's knees were weak and he knelt down one by one, stammering and reporting: "Han, the second battalion of the Shandong Green Battalion of the Han Army Banner, and the second battalion of the standard battalion of the Yanzhou town guard, the pipe with Agaha knock, knock knock...... See Chincha-sama! Fukangan was full of murderous intentions, sat with his hands on his knees, and looked at these characters who were not embarrassed or embarrassed, and did not scream, and asked lightly: "How many days have you not been paid?" ”

"Back to the fourth master, since the accident in Pingyi, the Yanzhou town guard made Liu Xiyao withdraw from the mission to ask, and he didn't pay a penny." Agha was frightened when he came in, but when he heard Fukangan's words, his tone was not stern, and his courage immediately strengthened a lot, and he shook his thick and oily braids, and his Beijing accent immediately became fluent, and he said with a ruffian smell, "Now they are all self-raised from the township." There is no one in charge of the county anymore, how difficult is it to collect grain...... Fourth master, you are a clear guide! I still have more than 1,000 family members of the thieves there, and they also need food...... Two litters of pickles for one meal, pickles ......"

"Don't say wotou pickles." Fukangan smiled, "What are you detaining family members for?" ”

"Hui Fushuai, they are the family members of the anti-thieves!"

"I know, what are you doing with them?"

"I ...... I want to ...... This ......" Agaha couldn't figure out the meaning of Fukangan's question, scratched his ears and thought for a long time, and said, "I think in the "Great Qing Law", all those who rebel and rebel will be executed without a single head, and one person will rebel against the nine clans. Chen Ying died, the county government was smashed, the prison was broken, and no one in the local area was in charge, and it was easy for these people to collude with bandits and enemies in the township, so they sent troops to temporarily detain them and listen to the Indian officials. He made up a lie, and the more he said it, the more it made sense, and after speaking, he raised his head and licked his lips to look at Fukangan.

Fukangan also saw Agaha's appearance clearly, it was a dark and glowing two-headed pointed head, big thin lips pursed like a woman, a pair of small eyes under the crescent moon eyebrows kept blinking, the official clothes on his body were very neatly tied, and the snow-white horseshoe sleeves were not wide or narrow and showed edges. Seeing that his gaze was becoming more and more presumptuous, Fukangan couldn't help but think secretly: If you are close, you are not inferior - what a respectable person is the thirty-fourth imperial aunt, how can she raise such a piece of material? Thinking about it, his face had changed color, and he sat in the chair and asked aloud, "Agaha, do you know your guilt?" ”

"Mark guilty." Agaha blinked and said, "At that time, there was a rebellion in the city, and I was not in the camp, but I was leading the battalion soldiers to practice archery on the South River Beach. The matter was reported to me, and it was already noon when I returned to the camp with the troops, and I sent people into the city to investigate, and the thieves had already robbed the prison and smashed the warehouse, and the whole gang escaped...... "You have been talking for a long time, what are you guilty of?" Fukangan asked, "Why don't you take advantage of the situation to chase after you?" Agha was so shocked by his aura that his body trembled, his eyelids trembled, avoiding Fukangan's gaze, and his tone was frightened: "...... This, this, this is my sin...... At that time, the whole city was in chaos, saying that there were 55,600 people who rebelled, and all the ruffians and street sticks in the city came out to raid houses and rob houses. The enemy situation is unknown, and this in the city wants this-well, that bullet pressure. Therefore, one is guarding the village, and the other is sending people to maintain law and order in the city...... Changing this haste, anticipating the enemy, and losing the fighter plane, this is my sin. Fortunately, the city is still in my hands. The marshal is here, and he is willing to be a striker to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, and work hard to make meritorious contributions! ”

Fukangan stood up from his chair and snorted, "Use a 'striker' like you to fight a war? Look at your flowery Tai Sui appearance, and look at my soldiers! He pressed his sword in one hand and paced around the burning iron ding, the sound of the sword under his feet, and the soldiers in the courtyard listened to him quietly, "It's not your fault that you have become hasty." How light it is to say 'sin'! Do you think this is a pig's head missing a pig's tooth from the temple? You led the troops to defend the city and the people, and when you knew that the bandits in the city were moving, you should have immediately rushed to the aid and pursued the anti-thieves, but instead you retreated into the camp and took hostages, allowing the people of a city to be ravaged and the county officials to be forced to commit suicide. I personally ordered your troops to enter the city, and you dared to ask for money to push the military order. You are arrogant! The more he spoke, the more angry he became, the syllables of the words were sonorous, and they were already as fast and loud as a bean fryer, and suddenly he stomped his feet and shouted, "Wang Jibao! ”

"Mark it in!" Wang Jibao was standing in front of the musketeers, heard the shout, answered in a loud voice, and stood in front of the team with two steps, "Please command!" ”

"The reason for the crime committed by Agaha is to issue a military order according to my military parade, what kind of crime should he be guilty of?"

"Back to the big handsome - kill! Those who escape from the enemy - kill, those who do not obey - kill! ”

Fukangan didn't look at everyone anymore, looked at Tie Ding with his hands behind his back, and said coldly: "Then there is nothing to say!" He Lao Liu! ”

"Mark it in!"

"Strip Agaha of his official robe and rectify the Dharma on the spot!"

The air in the temple suddenly froze, and although the two thousand soldiers brought from Mengyin were tall and strong, they were all Taiping soldiers, who had ever seen this kind of battle? Seeing that He Lao Liu went up with four personal soldiers, he stripped off the official robe of Agaha, and even threw the robe to the side, and even the sound of the clothes falling to the side could be heard in the courtyard, and everyone was so shocked that their legs and stomachs turned and their faces were bloodless. Wu Zi heard Fukangan say: "Don't think that you are some kind of family of Ah Gui, and what kind of son is the son of the emperor, I don't dare to deal with you!" I mistook my military order, and I won't even spare the forehead himself! "Agahahun was like a nightmare, he was already stunned, frightened stupid, stripped off his robe and took off the top, like a rag being dangled around, until the back of the cold steel knife was pressed against his neck, he woke up suddenly, struggled a few times, and the two arms were beaten to death by the soldiers, where could they move? Trembling like chaff, the and urine under the pants made a strange noise, the knees struggled to kneel for two steps, the cold sweat and tears on his face exchanged, and he said silently: "Please...... Ask the handsome to see that my forehead is high, high and noble...... Yes, I offended the military order, and the crime deserves death, and I am willing to make a military order to make meritorious service and atone for my crimes, and the country has an eight-council system......" He pleaded, and suddenly a fluent sentence came out, "I will pay the atonement money!" ”

"You keep the money for atonement, and give it to He Shen in the next life. There are no seven discussions in my army, only one discussion, and military law is ruthless! Fukangan gritted his teeth, stared at Tie Ding, slowly turned to face Agaha in an extremely terrifying atmosphere, and burst out two words without hesitation: "Execution!" ”

The two pro-soldiers suddenly let go of Agaha at the same time, one pulled up his braid, the other raised his broadsword high, and an arc of light flashed and slashed diagonally. Agahar didn't even snort, and his body collapsed under the damp and cold stone slabs, some of the blood in his neck like water arrows, and some of them bubbling out with red foam. One of Agaha's legs was still extended, and He Lao Liu had already raised his head from the pool of blood and said to Fukangan: "Dashuai, please check the sentence!" ”

Fukangan glanced at the head. It's not the first time he's killed someone, and he's killed someone himself, but it's the first time he's so close, and it's the first time he's seriously "examined", under Agaha's head, the blood on the braided tips of his hair is still dripping, and his nose and cheeks are covered with blood, and his face is already blurred, only his two eyes are bulging round as if he is still staring at himself, and the mouth is still talking, and now it has become a hollow, and blood is dripping down his crooked lips...... Fukangan was nauseated for a while, looked away and calmed down, and saw that the sergeants below were all frightened and their faces were snow-white, so he stabilized his mind, and saw the motionless corpse on the ground, which had completely calmed down, nodded and sighed: "I am the emperor's nephew, he is the emperor's cousin, and he is not far away or close to relatives!" Ji Bao remembered, used my money to buy him a good board, and went back to Beijing to mourn and pay tribute to me—how are you? Suddenly he asked the twelve who had come with him, "He is guilty, are you guilty?" ”

These twelve people were kneeling next to Agaha, listening to Agaha's nonsense, and when they saw Fukangan, they spoke calmly, and they were like young talents. When he arrived in front of the bluestone corpse of Agaha's blood-spattered bluestone corpse, the blood was already flowing and condensed in front of him, and he was still dazzled, he was already bluffing the three souls and seven spirits were not in place, and he didn't know the pain and itching, and he asked softly at this time, and he trembled like the autumn grass that was suddenly hit by a gust of wind, and he didn't know what he had answered. The sergeants in the temple thought that he was going to kill again, and the heart that had just relaxed a little bit immediately retracted and hung Lao Gao again.

"Knowing sins does not necessarily forgive your sins." Fukangan has seen Liwei's success and looked at everyone with satisfaction. He asked, "Which of you is the secondary pipe band?" ”

More than a dozen people throbbed uneasily, and the officer at the front glanced back in a cower, took two steps on his knees, and said, "Mark Lai Feng'an...... It's the deputy manager who leads ......" Fukangan turned his face and asked He Lao Liu: "You just gave the order, did he follow Agaha to coax?" The twelve people all raised their heads at once, and they looked at He Lao Liu with sorrow in their eyes, and they trembled with horror, not knowing what to say from his terrible mouth.

"Nope." He Lao Liu said, "This Lai Feng'an also said that the fourth master of Fu can't be provoked, obey the order first, and then give it if there is a difficulty-that's all." Fukangan said: "With this word, you will be spared death." You are the deputy manager, and if Agha's military measures are wrong, you have the responsibility to report to your superiors. I transferred the Yamen copywriter of the Yanzhou Prefecture and Town Bureau, but I didn't see your post, so I have to deal with it a little bit of military law - come here! ”

"In!"

"Drag it under that cypress tree and beat twenty sticks!"

"Wow!"

If such a military method is practiced in the Green Camp Army on weekdays, it will also make people feel uneasy. But Fang Cai's killing scene was too tense and terrifying, and this idea of punishment was no longer "nothing", and in the sound of the fleshly torture, the soldiers in the courtyard were all relieved, and watched Fukangan pacing in front of the iron tripod on the steps.

"Fukangan is a scholar, and he doesn't take killing people as a pleasure." After the punishment was completed for a while, the two sergeants came over with Lai Feng'an to check the punishment and thank them. Fu Kangan then lectured to everyone: "But if you don't kill him, other officers and soldiers will be wrecked against the order, and I can't deal with it." There is also peach blossom luck in the army - all of them! ”

The soldiers let out a burst of excited clamor and laughter, but they had ordered in advance not to make noise, and they were very energetic in suppressing their voices and raising their eyebrows. Fukangan also smiled, and said to Lai Fengan and the others who were kneeling on the ground: "Dogs, get out of here!" Soldiers have never seen killing? It's common to be hit by your boss and kick you in the ears for a few ears, but your mother hasn't enlightened you? Don't be so, since it is now my moderation, discipline rewards and punishments are treated equally. I've already beaten you, and you've done your job since then, fuck, I'll reward you the same! He led the troops several times, and he had already figured out the temper of the army, and the eight masters of Qiu didn't like to see the sour stuffed little white face that chewed the words, so they also put a few foul words from time to time, although it was a little deliberate, the soldiers felt that they were closer to those vulgar generals. After such a few words of reprimand, the generals of the Manchu Academy were already happy, and even Lai Feng'an, who had just been beaten, smiled heartbreakingly, and the officers who came with him were also relieved and cheered up.

"It's now—" Fukangan smiled, took out his pocket watch, looked at it, and said, "-There is still a moment before noon, so you will return to the camp at once, and put your ranks together and enter the city. Twenty-five miles back and forth, you are limited to Shen Shi Zhengpai The whole army is settled, and Shen Shi will come here to listen to the order! ”

"Wow!" Lai Feng'an endured the pain in his butt and knocked a thousand children, and asked for instructions, "I have 1,000 troops in my battalion, and there are more than 270 people scattered in the township outside. Please show me the marshal, do you want to put it all away? Also, what about the bandits in the camp? Fukangan said: "All the bandits have entered the city with the army, and I have a useful place - send them to collect grain to inform them that they must return before noon tomorrow!" Remember, you must bring all the food in the camp into the city, and not a single litre of grain can be left in the camp. Entering the city for two things, calming the people's hearts, collecting grain, buying vegetables, buying meat to supply military supplies, and making IOUs first without silver. Got it? ”

"Mark it and get it!"

"Go ahead!"

"Wow!"

"Come back!"

Fukangan's eyes flashed faintly, as if looking out through the temple, and he said slowly: "These eleven people you brought with you, send three to Yanzhou to pass on my military order, and all the garrisons in Yanzhou Mansion, except for those who stayed in the camp, all marched to the Evil Tiger Beach!" Lai Feng'an saw that Fukangan had nothing to say, so he gave a military salute and trotted out with people.

That night, the news that "Agaha led the army into Pingyi City" was reported into the tent of the rebel heroes in Guimengding Dazhai. This is a critical military situation, Gong San Blind immediately invited Wang Yan, who was patrolling the village, to come over to discuss countermeasures, he was nicknamed "Three Blind Men" among the people, in fact, a pair of tiger eyes were bright, and the word "blind" had nothing to do with it. It was because of the rebellion with Wang Lun that the team was broken up, and when he walked in the Black Wind Ridge at night, he encountered three bears, and fought with a dagger in the pine forest, and the three bears failed to escape. The local people called the bear "blind", and it spread that "Gong Yitian fought three blind people alone", and gradually became "Gong San Blind", and his real name "Yitian" was not mentioned by anyone. He originally followed Wang Lun to rebel, more than 300 people in Guimengding were his brothers in life and death, Wang Lun was defeated, these people had nowhere to go, and after the officers and soldiers searched and suppressed, they gradually returned to the cottage in pieces. The name "Gong Yitian" has been put into the roster of the "Wang Lun Anti-Thief List" by the official army, but "Gong San is blind" is still alive. Wang Yanyuan was a friend he made in Wang Lun's army, and he didn't see any ability until the army was defeated, and the three of them fled together. Everywhere they went, people bowed and worshipped, and feared like a god. Only then did he know that Wang Yan was not visible in Wang Lun's army, which meant being punctual and standby, but in fact, he was a "holy envoy" of the Red Sun Sect with hundreds of thousands of believers! After practicing the spell of sprinkling beans into soldiers and calling for wind and rain in the village several times, even Gong Blind Man, Wang Yan was respected as the "Cloud Dragon" on the village [1]

Finish.

After two years of fighting with Wang Lun, the Shandong official army did not fight, which is a clear thing. is the matter of Pingyi, even if there is no official government yamen to oppress the good and arouse public indignation, the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is ready to pull the flag and set off the cannons. Pingyi reversed, and more than 1,300 people went up the mountain. Hugging the calf, Menglianggu, Liangfengding, Shengshuiyu...... The owners of various mountains and villages have sent people to submit speeches, and they all said, "The head of the Gong village is the first to look forward." At this time, Fukangan came in the starry night, Jinan point general, Mengyin military parade made the whole world know, the cannon car wrapped in red silk also swaggered to the top of the turtle Mengding, the yellow dust of each post road is the army to the south, the news sent everywhere is shocking three times a day. Rao is Gong San's blind and arrogant, and he actually made a little insomnia and palpitations.

Wang Yan dragged heavy steps into the main tent of Dazhai. It is said to be a "tent", but in fact, the entire "village" is also a temple of the king of heaven, and the main tent is in the temple. Gong San's blind man was roasting the fire in front of the statue, watching the chopping wood peel and exploding the fire, and when he saw him come in, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "There will be no movement this time." lent Fukangan a gut, and he didn't dare to attack the mountain at night. ”

Wang Yan nodded, sat opposite Gong San's blind man, the bright firelight reflected his face, looking exceptionally young and handsome, about twenty-four or five years old, a fat cotton robe wrapped tightly around his body, the face that had just been frozen was warmed, slightly ruddy luster, the eyebrows that were originally very separated were like two tadpoles frowning, a pair of eyes squinted at the jumping firelight, for a long time, he breathed a sigh and said: "The food is enough to eat for three days." If you continue to be trapped in this way, it will be difficult for the army to be confused. Gong San said blindly: "What I hate most is these 'friends', who rushed like hot coals a few days ago, saying that they would raise the banner of righteousness with me before and after the saddle. Before the officers and soldiers arrived, they all turned into shrunken turtles! ”

"Don't hate them. The bees and bees go to their arms to solve it, and the poisonous snake bites the arm of the strong man and breaks his wrist! Wang Yan smiled and laughed at himself, "Those promises, they didn't even write a letter, they didn't have any sincerity in the first place, how can they be relied on?" Gong Yitian swallowed unconsciously, and said: "The road to the north has been blocked, and the eastern border Pai Town is full of soldiers stationed all over the mountains, and our spies can't go out of South Berlin - look at the meaning of Fukangan, not to raid the mountain, but to besiege and kill us." He paused, "Agaha also received this order when he entered Pingyi, and before entering the city, someone fired a few shots in the north of the city, and he also reported to us. Whether it is a breakthrough or a decisive battle, you have to get an idea quickly. Wang Yan pondered for a moment and said: "To the east of Jiepai Town is Meng Lianggu, there are more than 1,000 people in Menglianggu Shangchao Guard, if we open up Jiepai Town, the two villages will join forces, and the situation will be reversed at once." ”

Gong Yitian didn't say anything. Wang Yan made this suggestion for the second time, if he could really "join forces" with Chao Shougao, and then go back to play Jiepai Town, the large encirclement arranged by Fukangan immediately collapsed, and it was no better. But how many garrisons there are in Jiepai Town now, I can't figure out the real details, there are 3,000 officers and troops attacking head-on at the northern foothills, and the official road from Mengyin City to the foot of Menglianggu Mountain is only about 20 miles. One hundred and twenty miles of mountain road from Guimeng to Menglianggu, it is more difficult to sneak into Menglianggu than to climb to the sky, once you leave the village to the east, people walk on the mountain beam, and you can see it clearly for dozens of miles. The enemy troops in Mengyin and Jiepai Town attacked from the north and south, and the soldiers at the northern foot of Guimengding blocked the back road, and they could bombard more than 1,000 people into pulp with artillery! He pondered and said, "I've thought about it again and again, this path doesn't work. Those of us who are new to the village are all hoes at home, and we have never trained in field warfare at all. Even Wang Lun's soldiers, as soon as the cannon rang out, the rockfall mountain opened, and they were all stunned. Meng Lianggu's Chao Heavenly King, his more than 1,000 soldiers were actually half bandits and half peasants, and they dispersed as soon as they arrived at the big battle. He didn't come to contact, and I heard that Huang Tianba was shouting everywhere that people at both ends of the head and rat would not touch the stones with eggs to answer us. Before we wait for Jiepai Ling, we will be surrounded on all sides and let Fukangan make dumplings! Wang Yan has repeatedly studied the situation, and it is expected that Fukangan has arranged a strong formation on the north road, and wants to press the cottage to break through to the south, and open his pocket on the southern line of Pingyi to outflank the whole annihilation. Knowing that it was a plan, the officers and soldiers had no choice but to give in, thinking that what Gong San said was also the truth, he gritted his teeth and thought about it, and said: "It's not that I want to take risks, the enemy is ten times more than me, and if I don't take some risks, I can only sit and wait for death." Do you see clearly? Fukangan forced us to go down to Weishan Lake and kill us with water divisions and Zaozhuang garrisons. The south road goes down to Pingyi, it's easy to go down and it's hard to come up! His eyes flashed suddenly, and he said, "During the day, I patrolled the mountains and saw the Xiatou Yi River, which is a road that is frozen and solid, can I go back to the top of the turtle along this road?" He actually thought of Fukang'an's way into Pingyi.

"Yes." Gong San glanced at Wang Yan and said, "People on the mountain often go hunting, and I have also walked there." South Berlin south of the river can be lowered. But it was too steep, and it was too hard to move up the hill from there! "We don't necessarily have to go up the mountain." Wang Yan fiddled with the fire, set the fire with chopsticks and said with a smile, "We will press down the mountain from the south road, occupy Pingyi, and defeat this Agaha, it will take at least three days for Fukangan to come from Jiepai Town for reinforcements." The county town shook the whole province, we can strengthen our prestige and boost morale, if the brothers of Liangfengding and Shengshuiyu can come to join forces, Yanzhou Mansion is not impossible to fight. If you can't join forces, you will march east from the Yihe River, take him by surprise on the back road of Jiepai Town, and then go to Meng Lianggu and jump out of the circle of Fukangan to maneuver and fight. If the official army of Jiepai Town attacks us from the upper reaches of the Yihe River, they will take the trail up the mountain, fight the official army at the northern foothills, and take his artillery over, and the entire Lunan Green Forest brothers will see us fighting this battle, and they will stick to you if you don't call them! Gong San was already grinning before he finished listening, and he slapped his thigh happily and said, "Cheng!" It's a good idea! His grandmother's - forced me to go to Weishan Lake in Zaozhuang, isn't that the tiger falling into the Pingyang Longyou Shoal? Lao Tzu didn't fall for you, turned around and killed a horse pistol, so that these heroes also opened their eyes! He stood up, waved his hand and said, "Tomorrow in the middle of the night, the officers and soldiers are not used to night fighting, first kick Agaha's camp to him, burn it to the ground, and then go into the city to nourish his spirit, eat enough and sleep enough to go to Shangjie Pai Town!" He smiled again, "That's what you say on weekdays, we are not bandits, the incident is for the people to live a good life, to recover the Ming Dynasty, to expel the Tartars, and to welcome the return of Emperor Chongzhen's grandson in Java to return to China for restoration!" Prepare a notice for the people to be reassured, and put it up all over the walls when you enter the city! Sitting and standing up to die, dying of poverty, starvation, rebellion, death left and right, and death on the left and right, maybe he dies and I don't die! ”

After a short period of excitement, he took the map and repeatedly examined and studied, and discussed with Gong Yitian how to attack the camp, occupy the city, and collect grain.

…… At midnight on the second day, three and a half hours before Fukangan ordered the northern foot to feint and attack the turtle and Mengding, more than 1,500 rebels gathered in the empty field of the flagpole in front of the Tianwang Temple. All of them were wrapped in white cloth around their heads and wrapped around their waists with white cloth. This is the righteous army's banner for the Ming Hang's funeral, and the second is that the road down the mountain is steep and slippery, and it is easy to identify before and after, and it is easy to identify the enemy and me when encountering the officers and soldiers at night. There are four piles of pine firewood burning at the entrance of the temple, pouring lard, burning exceptionally brightly, more than 1,000 soldiers from peasant families, some of them carry **, some wear big knives, and more are iron spears used for hunting and guarding, or even axes and guillotines...... They all stood quietly, and the different types of weapons shone with a chilling glow in the firelight. The empty field looked solemn and cold, revealing a murderous aura and a little mysterious and terrifying. Gong San was dressed in a short dress, with a pair of buttons, a gown and black leggings, a white cloth in the middle waist was tight, his purple face was bright and dark in the firelight, he was on the foundation of the temple gate pillar with a knife in one hand, and he stared at everyone with a gown in his eyes. Seeing that the people had arrived, he stood up straight, and suddenly asked loudly:

"Brothers! Why are we rebelling? ”

In the silence, he himself replied: "There are corrupt officials all over the world, and there are harsh taxes all over the world!" A penny can buy a nest head, and we don't have a penny! I can't feed my wife and children, and I can't feed my mother! Zhang Xianzhong's essay is good - the official forces the people to rebel, although the people want not to rebel, can they get it? - Their ancestral home is Changbai Mountain, occupying our Central Plains, saying that they are revenge for the Ming Dynasty, and they will not return the country to the Zhu family, saying that they are 'taking leniency as a government', but in fact, they don't even leave us a line of life. Some people are afraid of the word 'rebellion', and they will attract a large army to capture and kill us, but my old Gong is not afraid! Kill all the squares, for this one, for our ancestors of the Han ancestral hall, I want to-" He gritted his teeth and shouted angrily, "Kill all these unreasonable corrupt officials!" Even if you lose, you will have to leave a name in history worthy of your descendants. ”

"The Qing family's morale has been exhausted, and the restoration of the Emperor Ming is inevitable!" Wang Yan is not as tense as Gong Yitian, and his speech is relaxed and depressed, "On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Hongyang believers in Beijing, Nanjing, Kaifeng, Taiyuan, and Baoding will rise up at the same time, and they will be robbed of the sky!" We just worked a few days early. When several rebel armies converge, there will be an army of one million immediately, which can not only sweep through Shandong and conquer the world, but also sit in the Dragon Court is just around the corner! Brothers, we are all people who will be in a catastrophe, and the Heavenly Court Dragon and Tiger List has our name, and we will recover the Han Dynasty in the future, and we will be rich and glorious, which is also destined on the Heavenly List. Right now, we have to go down the mountain to capture Pingyi and capture Fukangan, the demon dog of the Qing Dynasty, alive. Don't be afraid of others, we are divine soldiers, and every move is protected by the ancestor of Hongyang, the lifeless mother, and countless gods. Just now, I have already transported the original god, and the lifeless old mother will communicate, she said that she wants to descend the altar, give us the Dharma Protector Divine Water, the Divine Water Protection, invulnerable! ”

The rebels below exchanged glances with each other, whispering for a while, and they all looked at the young "Holy Envoy" suspiciously, looking at him to see how he moved. In the firelight, I saw Wang Yan slowly take off the gray and bloated cotton robe outside, revealing a pomegranate-red robe inside, with a green silk silk tied around his waist, and a seven-star sword hanging - this outfit is a bit like a folk horse running woman, looking both elegant and neat, but also a little weird. The Taiji diagram and lotus treasure embroidered on the robe flickered and changed, and there were two burning torches embroidered on the front and back hearts. In the solemnity, Wang Yan began to fight with his sword in front of the fire, and there were words in his mouth: "...... The legend is not counted in the world, and the ministers of the throne are exhausted, accompanied by no life in the world, and a little bright moon penetrates Kunlun. If the master and apprentice meet again, Lingshan will go to find ......"

In the midst of the chanting, the fire was a little strange. The fire, which had already burned with a layer of frost and ash, seemed to have been thickly added with pine wood and filled with oil. But it was not a sudden flame, curling on the ground, slowly filled with green smoke, the smoke became heavier and heavier, and gradually filled the temple door into a blur, and there were countless tongues of fire began to move in a slight explosion, such as electric light, like a flowing fire hidden in the haze and fog kept jumping, Wang Yan, Gong San blind, and several demented soldiers were annihilated in the smoke and fire, only to see the seven-star sword in the fireworks. Suddenly, there was a loud explosion, and a ball of fireball rose into the air, and Wang Yan shouted in the smoke: "Xie Hongyang Old Ancestor Jade Toe Linfan, all the disciples kneel to receive the holy talisman!" ”

The soldiers didn't know who took the lead and knelt down, and then all of them also knelt down - but it was not the same prayer we usually see, they all made a flame rising with their left hand, and plucked their right hand to the sky and prayed: "Nan Wu Hongyang Ancestor!" Nan has no biological mother! ”…… People were in a trance, and with Wang Yan's sword dancing, they were so devious that they were drunk and swayed, and they all followed the words: "Seamless door, open up, bright discovery." Looking back, a hundred scenes, all in the human body ......" in the fog, as if you can see a few yellow turban wrestlers carrying a huge and friendless altar in the smoke and dancing with the beat, Wang Yan kept chanting mantras and commanding: "The happy treasure scroll has just unfolded, and all the Buddhas are invited to join the meeting." The eight divisions of the Heavenly Dragon support and bless the disciples from disaster...... An altar, cloth charms, thank you for the wine...... "The sword waved in the air, and everything became the original again: Gong San was blind and confused, and several pro-soldiers stood at the gate of the temple as if they had just woken up from a dream, and the four piles of pine firewood had been burned out, and the embers were quietly piled up in the ground, as if nothing had happened, and the calm was restored, but there was an extra giant altar of wine next to each fire.

"This is the wine that has been burned with holy talismans," Wang Yan pointed to the altar and said, "After drinking this wine, fire and water will not invade the sword and gun-life in a critical situation, life and death will be handed over, and the Holy Name of Our Lady will be recited to escape from the fire!" - Which brother is willing to come up and try it? ”

People you look at me, I look at you, no one comes up. Wang Yan smiled, walked to a jar, there was already a ready-made scoop in it, scooped out a little, slightly touched his lips and drank a little, took a few steps forward and said loudly: "Which brother came up?" No matter the sword, gun, bow and arrow**, just shoot at me! ”

Seeing that no one came out to test the spell, Wang Yan called twice more, and a hairy young man squeezed up behind him. Hehe smiled embarrassedly and said, "I'll try it, I'll drink this wine, I can trust you!" ”

"Well done!" Wang Yan patted him on the shoulder and scooped up the wine. The young man was not ambiguous, and drank half of the scoop with a bang, his face was already red, and he patted his chest and said, "Come on!" Wang Yan didn't say a word, and stabbed the seven-star sword in his hand with a sword - in the midst of people's exclamations, the sword had already pierced into the heart diagonally, and came out from under the back of the shoulder!

But the lad did not fall, he seemed only taken aback, looked down at the sword in his chest, and touched the placket with his hand to see if it was true or false. His face was first astonished and confused, and he tried to take two steps, but suddenly jumped on his feet in ecstasy and shouted: "True spirit! This sword can't hurt me! Wang Yan took out his sword and threw it on the ground, took a musket from his own soldiers, leveled it, and said to the young man: "You have the guts, it's a man!" Eat one more shot! I don't know what the technique is, as he spoke, he had lit the medicine twist, only to hear a loud sound of "boom-jump", and even the fire and smoke sprayed out of the pipe, and the young man's face was blackened, like the prince of the old stove, but it was not painful or itchy, and it did not hurt. Seeing that he was still stunned in front of the stepping stone, someone below asked in a loud voice: "Dog leftover!" How? ”

"It's fine!" The young man shook his arm and laughed, stomped his legs and shouted excitedly, "Hongyang Ancestor bless, no biological mother bless!" Invulnerability, invulnerability! In the midst of the noise and cheers, Gong San's blind man also drank Fu wine. All the cottage rebels lined up by the four big jars to drink in turn, Wang Yan smiled and said to Gong Yitian: "Let's go down the mountain and kill him by surprise!" ”

Gong Yitian's eyes were red from the burning of cinnabar talisman wine, he tightened his belt, lifted the big knife, and shouted to everyone: "Follow me!" ”
