Volume 3: Tempered into Steel Chapter 51: Impossible to Prevent
"That's Huang Xiaoqi, right?" Zhu Qizhen asked.
Dong Xing clenched his fists and replied: "The emperor is wise, this person is the thief chief Huang Xiaoqi." ā
"Looking very young, I don't know if the old and young in the family have rebelled with him." Zhu Qizhen sighed.
Then he asked, "How's it going?" ā
Dong Xing replied: "According to the report of the night non-collection, all the thieves have entered Guangzhou City, and they can start encirclement and suppression." ā
Zhu Qizhen nodded, under the dim torch, there was an old man in the distance holding a sickle and not listening to the command, trembling and trembling, with wrinkles on his face stacked and ravines vertical and horizontal;
There are obviously young men who have not yet been crowned, with a hoe on their shoulders and a tongue licking their lips;
There are more middle-aged people in the prime of life, whose expressions are sometimes excited, sometimes hesitant.
These are my people of the Ming Dynasty, and now they are going to fight against me! What to do? Killed? Zhu Qizhen couldn't help but ask himself.
The people behind Huang Xiao gathered more and more, and gradually crowded the entire Guangzhou Avenue.
The young man on the right heard more and more voices around him, implying fear, and said anxiously: "Brother Xiao Qi, if you don't do it again, when the officers and soldiers of the brigade arrive, I'm afraid we will only have a dead end!" ā
Huang Xiaoqi was still hesitating, he didn't want his clansmen to be buried for the safety of his family, and when he was hesitating, suddenly his right ear was buzzed with a huge scream.
"The court is unfair! the government forced the people to rebel ! In front of you is the Dog Emperor, everyone rush with me, kill the Dog Emperor, and sit on the country by yourself! ā
Huang Xiaoqi's face changed suddenly, and the young man on the right had already rushed forward with a roar, and there was no shortage of young people with the same idea behind him.
"Huang Panshen! You fucking bastard, you're back! Huang Xiaoqi roared angrily, but he didn't splash a little in the surging crowd.
Zhu Qizhen looked at the suddenly excited young man, frowned deeply, the original delicate balance was broken by this person, he thought quickly in his heart, and made a decision in an instant.
"Take the firecracker!" Zhu Qizhen said.
Guo Mao hurriedly handed over a one-handed gun, the appearance is like a beautiful handicraft, the barrel is carved with a dragon and a phoenix, but the process is limited, it is currently more like its predecessor assault gun, the shape is like a bamboo pole that has grown fat, the difference is that there is an extra hand guard.
I want to tell you that if you don't listen, you will kill me when you meet, and you can't really let you rebel and send the people to death, right? You must know that even in the original history, the Guangzhou Rebellion only existed for about half a year, and when it was finally exterminated, thousands of people were killed and injured.
Zhu Qizhen saw that the gunpowder had been loaded, and at this time, he must not hesitate not to interrupt this suicidal charge, and it would not be far from the real blood flowing.
Raise the gun, aim, and fire in one go.
"Boom!"
After a loud bang, Huang Panxian, the young man who was originally rushing to the front, had an extra piece of blood on his chest, followed the inertia and took two steps, fell to the ground with a bang, and lost his breath in an instant, and this change also lost the momentum of the charging people, and the few people in front of them already had the intention of retreating after looking at each other a few times.
Seizing this opportunity, Zhu Qizhen shouted angrily: "I am Zhu Qizhen, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty!" Since you are the people of the Ming Dynasty, why don't you worship me when you see me? ā
The voice spread through the soldiers, resounding in the city of Guangzhou, many people far away from the battlefield heard this life angry shout, rubbed their sleepy eyes in confusion, couldn't help but look out the window in the darkness for a while, and asked: "Who?" ā
The people, who were already stagnant in place, couldn't help but shudder after hearing this murderous shout, and looked at Huang Xiaoqi behind him.
After Huang Xiaoqi roared, his original mood was not firm, but he suddenly burst into fear, in this era, ordinary people's awe of imperial power is incomparable, and standing in the face of the emperor is already commendable.
"Xiao Qi! The emperor is giving us a chance! Take advantage of this time to talk about our requirements, and we will definitely be satisfied! Uncle Nine shook the farm tools in his hand.
Not only did Uncle Jiu want to surrender, but the people behind him who had no opinions, hearing this, their legs began to weaken.
A thin man wanted to kneel on the ground tremblingly, but he didn't expect a man with a meaty face next to him to pick him up and ask him in an unkind tone: "What are you doing?" ā
The thin man trembled even more, stammering his tongue and replying, "IāI'm scared ......"
The man slapped him on the head and punched the stars out.
"Stand up straight!"
The thin man didn't dare to disobey, and nodded again and again to ensure that his legs would not shake again.
Just one is missing, Zhu Qizhen's eyes swept over the crowd opposite, and he was secretly anxious in his heart, and glanced at Guo Mao on the side, who quietly left here.
"I understand that you are persecuted, and I have come here to make decisions and backers for you! Do you know him? Zhu Qizhen stretched out his hand and pointed at Geng Jiuchou.
Geng Jiuchou took two steps forward, looked directly at Huang Xiaoqi and asked him, "Huang Xiaoqi, do you still recognize me?" On that day, you took me to see Huang Xiaoyang, but unfortunately I was disturbed by someone because of the sudden change, which caused the two of us to wander in Shaozhou, and then we were watched, and we could not come back to investigate the problem of land invasion. ā
As soon as Geng Jiuchou appeared, the expressions of the people on the other side changed, especially those who were around Huang Xiaoyang, they had all seen Geng Jiuchou, and even the Qingzhuang faction was already a little shaken at this moment.
And those who have never seen Geng Jiuchou also know that he is a poor man and an upright person, he has arrested a lot of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and returned the encroached fields to the people and compensated them, and the reputation has been excellent in a short period of time.
"Lord Geng! You're alive? Huang Xiaoqi looked at Geng Jiuchou in astonishment.
"Huang Xiaoqi
, you told me that Huang Xiaoyang had a very important situation to inform me, today in front of the emperor, if you have anything to say, you can rest assured, the emperor will definitely make decisions for you! Geng Jiuchou persuaded that he didn't want to see more than 10,000 people die in the hands of the imperial court, which would make the relatives painful and the enemies happy.
"I ......"
"Huang Xiaoqi, if you don't do it, your son will be gone."
Huang Xiaoqi was suddenly shocked, his face changed rapidly, and he hurriedly looked around, but he didn't find any trace at all.
"Where are you?" Huang Xiaoqi asked in a low voice.
"Uncle Nine, do you see someone talking next to you?" Huang Xiaoqi asked again, naturally there was no result.
"What is that Huang Xiaozheng doing?" Zhu Qizhen frowned and asked.
"Someone you look for?" Geng Jiuchou replied guessingly.
"Huang Xiaoqi, if you have any grievances, you can talk to me, as long as it is true, I will definitely punish the traitors and eliminate the evil.
I am the king of a country, I am the king of a country, you are my Ming people, I am the father of the monarch, how can I treat my children poorly? ā
Huang Xiaoqi was still hesitating, he thought that the voice was his hallucination, but he knew that that person was here, haunting him like a ghost, and the ghost would not go away.
At this moment, one by one, brocade guards dressed in coarse cloth clothes quietly blended into the people, and slowly moved themselves to the front under the cover of night.
"Your Majesty, it's been arranged." Guo Mao appeared behind Zhu Qizhen and whispered.
"Good!"
When the time is ripe, we can't wait any longer, Zhu Qizhen said loudly: "Those who are willing to surrender at this moment are not to blame for the past, and the good land occupied by the family will be returned twice!" ā
As soon as this remark came out, the people were moved, and those who were eager to try it did not know how many.
finally
"Your Majesty, the hundred acres of fertile land in the grass people's homes are all occupied by Haoqiang, please make the decision for me!"
A crying cry appeared, followed by a series of voices, interspersed with the sound of something of gold and iron falling to the ground.
"Daddy! Save me! A child's voice appeared in Huang Xiaoqi's ears.
"Whoosh!"
A muffled sound of "poof" sounded around him, and Huang Xiaoqi panicked, only seeing the body of the ninth uncle who had been shot through.
The people who were about to kneel down all changed their faces when they saw this scene, and looked at Zhu Qizhen in a dragon robe in disbelief.
"Who!" Zhu Qizhen shouted angrily.
"Uncle Nine!" Huang Xiaoqi held Uncle Jiu's hand, and the tears in his eyes fell like a. Uncle Nine had no air intake and only air out, and his mouth was full of blood foam.
"Xiao Qi, protect your clansmen and don't be used!" Uncle Jiu finished speaking, and then lost his breath.
