Chapter 26: The Six Gentlemen of Yuyao
During the Jiajing period of the former Ming Dynasty, the Japanese invaded the coastal prefectures and counties of the Ming Dynasty, and Yuyao Linshan became the frontier position of the anti-Japanese army. In the thirty-fourth year of Jiajing (1555), Qi Jiguang, a famous anti-Japanese general, entered Zhejiang to participate in the war, and the three guards in eastern Zhejiang (Dinghaiwei, Guanhaiwei, and Linshanwei) were all subject to its control.
Qi Jiguang guarded the Linshan Guard Department for about three years, and the Japanese were killed and injured heavily, and they were terrified when they heard the name of Qi Jiguang. The people loved and revered Qi Jiguang, and transformed the City God Temple in Linshanwei into a "Shrine of Counselors" to commemorate this national hero with outstanding military achievements.
Linshanwei is still there, but Qi Shaobao's ancestral hall is in disrepair, and there is no gate, it is full of cobwebs and dust. Coupled with the impact of relocation, the broken walls are ruined and overgrown with weeds, and it has become a paradise for wild dogs, foxes and rabbits.
"Thorn! Stab! β
The night was dark, and the shouts in the backyard of the ancestral hall came, and Zhao Guohao and Li Xingzhong were still using the firelight, holding wooden sticks, practicing guns with great interest.
"These two guys still refuse to rest!"
Zheng Siming shook his head and fiddled with the fire in front of him. The flames shone on his face, and he jumped red.
"Brother Yao, are you useful? I think you're good at grappling! β
Zheng Ning said excitedly, eating butter cakes.
A few people were going to go back, but the young man finally went to the Qi Shaobao Temple to pay homage to the sages and pay homage to the monuments to comfort the turbulent hearts.
"We're here, we won't alarm the green battalion soldiers of Linshanwei, right?"
Sun Jiachun glanced at the dark night sky outside, still a little worried.
Linshanwei is only ten miles away from here, and if the green battalion soldiers come out to inspect, they will suffer a big loss.
"It's okay to bully the common people with those shitholes. By this time, they should have fallen asleep! β
Zheng Ning's little face was full of proud disdain.
"Heyao, you say, let's just keep going like this?"
Zheng Siming added a branch and diverted the topic. It seems that he is not worried about the green battalion soldiers of Linshanwei.
"Siming, the world is going to be in chaos, we have to accumulate strength to make a big deal. The gentleman hides his weapon in his body, and he moves when he waits, you and my brother, we have to do our best! β
Wang Heyao took the butter cake handed over by Zheng Ning and smiled slightly.
It's still a girl who is careful, otherwise she will be hungry tonight.
There is food every time, and it seems that the brothers and sisters of the Zheng family seem to be not short of silver.
"Heyao, how do you accumulate strength?"
Sun Jiachun immediately became interested.
The sound of assassination in the backyard had ended, and Zhao Guohao and Li Xingzhong, who were sweating profusely, came in and sat down one after another.
"If you want to do something, you have to be an official first."
Wang Heyao smiled softly and swallowed the cake in his mouth.
If only there was a cup of hot tea!
"Being an official?"
All the teenagers were stunned.
This time, no one was furious, and no one was angry.
Everyone knows that Wang Heyao will not say anything.
"Yes, be an official, be an official with soldiers in the government!"
Wang Heyao said solemnly, his eyes blazing.
It's really good to hide the utensils in your body and move at the right time.
"You and I are brothers, they have no power or power, except for Li Xingzhong's wealthy family, your Zheng family's money is not needed. You and I want to fight with the Manchu court, fight with the Eight Banners Green Camp, and fight with the eagles and dogs of the world, can we achieve it with our strength alone? β
There was silence in the main hall, the firelight jumped, and Qi Jiguang's statue was vague, as if he was thinking.
"Brother Heyao, do you have any ideas?"
Zheng Ning was the youngest and couldn't help but ask.
"The times create heroes, and now Wu Sangui and Geng Jingzhong are in trouble, this is the situation, we can take advantage of the situation. A gentleman is not different, and he is good at things. We all have to use the surrounding conditions. For example, how to take advantage of this high county order may be on him. β
Wang Heyao had to say a bunch of nonsense. Easier said than done, in fact, he didn't fully understand how to start.
"It's useless, the green battalion soldiers are under the management of Shaoxing Prefecture, and they can't get in. Unless you go to the Inspection Division. However, the inspection is appointed by the imperial court, you can only be a patrolman, there are many dragons and snakes, and there are many ruffians and hooligans, and it is not easy to do things! β
Zheng Siming immediately made an analysis.
"No matter what, there will definitely be a way, it's a big deal to do it yourself!"
Sun Jiachun's heart was hot and he said it out loud.
"That's it, it's a big deal to do it yourself, if you lose, you are worthy of your heart, and if you win, you will kill the Quartet!"
Zhao Guohao's face was also flushed.
"Good!"
Wang Heyao was greatly encouraged, and his heart was also warm.
For many years, he didn't have such pride and enthusiasm.
"Generous Geyan City, calmly as a prisoner of Chu, leading the knife into a fast, living up to the head of the youth. In the past, there was Mr. Cangshui, who calmly took justice in Hangzhou City, and then there were six gentlemen of Yuyao who did not hesitate to do so for the country and the people. Let's overthrow the Manchu court together, change the heavens and the earth, and go in vain in the world! β
Wang Heyao's face was red, and he unconsciously revealed the impulsive side of his personality.
"The Six Gentlemen of Yuyao! This is called domineering! β
Zhao Guohao laughed loudly, as piercing as a night owl.
"There are so many officers and soldiers in the Tartar Imperial Court, can we fight?"
Li Xingzhong's eyes hesitated, and he asked cautiously.
"What are you afraid of, it's a big deal to lose your head, and you have to die like a person!"
Sun Jiachun was very dissatisfied, and his eyes widened.
"The anti-Qing major event has not been accomplished, and no one can die easily. Be cautious in your words and deeds, and be on standby. β
Wang Heyao solemnly reminded everyone.
This is a matter of losing your head, and if you don't get it right, it will affect your family, so you must be cautious.
"Since we are planning for great things, our six gentlemen of Yuyao are also like Liu Guan and Zhang Taoyuan, and they swear a blood oath. What do you think? β
Zheng Ning's little face was flushed, and he couldn't wait to say it.
Everyone looked at each other and laughed.
There are five men and one woman here, and Zheng Ning obviously belongs to himself.
"It's okay, let's marry Jin Lan in front of Qi Shaobao today, drive out the Tartars, and restore China!"
Wang Heyao laughed, causing a chorus.
"Drive out the Tartars and restore China! Good! β
Sun Jiachun was enthusiastic and called out first, his thin face was a little hideous.
"Yijie Jinlan, I agree!"
Li Xingzhong raised his hand and spoke in a delicate voice.
"Count me in!"
"Count me in!"
Zhao Guohao and Zheng Ning rushed to speak.
Zheng Siming glanced at his sister who was flushed, and finally did not object.
The Zheng family has its own mission of the Zheng family.
"Zheng Siming, Sun Jiachun, Li Xingzhong, Zhao Guohao, Wang Heyao, and Zheng Ning, although they have different surnames, they are brothers, but they work together to help the needy; Report to the country, under An Lishu. I don't want to be born on the same day and month of the same year, but I want to die on the same day and month of the same year. The emperor and the queen of heaven, learn from this heart, betray righteousness and ingratitude, and kill heaven and man together! β
The six talked about age, Zheng Siming was the oldest, Zheng Ning was the youngest, and Wang Heyao was ranked fifth.
Bachelor!
There is no doubt that it is Wang Lao Wu, but unfortunately he is not a diamond, not even silver, just a hot-blooded "dwarf poor", once his identity is discovered, he will have to be executed by Ling Chi.
He is the "fifth king of stones", his father is the "old king next door", and both father and son keep pace with the times.
However, with these teenagers as his company, he also felt much more at ease and closer.
The six gentlemen of Yuyao, I hope they don't be like the "Six Gentlemen of Wuxu" in history, their ambitions have not been rewarded, and they have become dead souls first.
When everyone finished worshipping, they were all excited and laughing.
"Old Five, do you say that we can fight the Manchu court?"
Li Xingzhong asked anxiously.
"Third child, you say, what is the hardest thing in the world?"
Wang Heyao pondered for a moment and asked with a smile.
"Since ancient times, it has been difficult to die only! The hardest thing is probably the head falling to the ground. β
Li Xingzhong replied softly.
"Third child, are you afraid of death?"
Wang Heyao asked solemnly.
"With my brothers, I don't have much to fear!"
Li Xingzhong's heart was beating wildly, and his face was red, but it was word by word, and he was serious.
"I'm not even afraid of death, you're afraid of a fart from Manchu!"
Wang Heyao smiled and continued to ask:
"Fourth, what do you say is the most difficult thing in the world?"
"The hardest ...... to do"
Zhao Guohao was ignorant, scratching his ears and cheeks.
"The most difficult, of course, is to overthrow the Manchu Dynasty like an iron bucket!"
Zheng Siming frowned and said in a deep voice.
"Yes, yes, of course it overthrew the Manchus!"
Zhao Guohao suddenly realized and nodded again and again.
"The boss is the boss, and sure enough, it's in one sentence!"
Wang Heyao nodded and continued:
"In life, it is necessary to drink the strongest wine, ride the fastest horse, climb the highest mountain, walk the farthest road, gnaw the hardest bones, kill the worst people, and be in the prime of life. Our "Six Gentlemen of Yuyao" is to do the most difficult thing in the world, which is challenging, so that we can be remembered for generations to come, so that the world will respect us from generation to generation! Brothers, do you think this is the case? β
"Good! Gnaw the hardest bones, kill the worst! I like it! β
Zheng Siming's face was hot, and his face was radiant.
"In its prime, scold Fang Xuan! Old Five, what you said said to my heart! β
Li Xingzhong's radiant and delicate voice couldn't help but be a little louder.
Sun Jiachun didn't speak, just nodded emphatically.
Doing the hardest thing in the world is definitely challenging.
"If I could add a sentence to marry the most beautiful woman, I would be satisfied!"
Zhao Guohao thought about it, and added a sentence leisurely.
"Brother Guohao, how can you do this? You have a fiancΓ©e, you can't afford her! β
Zheng Ning pouted and said carefully.
Everyone was stunned and laughed together.
In the second half of the night, everyone went to sleep, Zheng Siming came over and sat down next to Wang Heyao.
"He Yao, have you ever considered going up the mountain and falling into the grass, let's raise the flag together and fight against the Manchus?"
Although Zheng Siming's voice was low, Wang Heyao listened carefully.
"Boss Zheng, what do you mean ......"
Zheng Siming said this, does he have any way.
"It's nothing, I just think, just raise the flag! Cowering and dodging, I don't know when I have to wait! β
Zheng Siming's answer is not leaky.
"Boss, it's easy to raise the flag, but the brothers of Siming Mountain have been doing it for so long, have they succeeded?"
Wang Heyao replied in a low voice, his brows furrowed.
"When I entered Siming Mountain, I was trapped, there were only a few hundred people, who were not well fed and clothed, and were stared at by the government all day long. Unlike now, you can come and go freely and do things conveniently. β
Wang Heyao disagrees with Zheng Siming.
In order to increase our strength, we still need to join the WTO. It's too risky to lie down in the mountains and taste the guts.
"Heyao, what do you mean ......"
"Give me two years, and if nothing comes of it, I'll listen to you."
Seeing Zheng Siming's disappointed eyes, Wang Heyao had to add.
How to get into trouble, in fact, he himself is looking for a way out.
The next afternoon, Wang Heyao returned home, and his anxious father told him that the county ordered Gao Jiaqin to look for him.
"The county commander surnamed Gao didn't suspect you, right?"
Wang Shiyuan looked at his son with a nervous expression.
"Dad, it's funny to have your name reversed!"
Wang Heyao looked around, smiled softly, and waved his hand out of the house.
"Grandma is back, tell her that I may not come back at night, and I will come to Huang Junsen to find me if I have something!"
Gao Jiaqin looked for him, probably because he was itchy and unbearable, so he could solve his doubts.
Wang Heyao went out, and Wang Shiyuan reacted.
Wang Shiyuan's three words are reversed, isn't it "originally the king".
Isn't he the fourth son of Chongzhen, the Yongwang Zhu Cizhi who did nothing more when Jiashen changed!
