Anti-Qing: I'm actually an honest person

Chapter 19 Famous in the world (two in one)

When the army wins, it is natural to chase after it. Under the leadership of Liu Dapao, the Chaozhou army carried out a marathon chase on the chaotic army. The two armies chased and fled with their fleshy feet. ran all day.

After chasing until it was dark, these chaotic troops fled into the mountains of northern Guangdong. Then, relying on the danger of the mountains, they fled back to Fujian by breaking them into pieces.

Huge casualties!
Even at night, Liu Dapao's pursuers and Geng Jingzhong's "reinforcements" all joined together.

Geng Jingzhong was stunned, what the hell is going on, where is Liu Jinzhong?

And after learning that the elite lineage that he spent a lot of money to raise, followed him from Liaodong to Fujian, and followed their Geng family for decades. Sha, I'm afraid it takes nearly half of the time to die.

Oh, this heart is so cold.

What about Liu Jinzhong? !
Oh, dead?

When he turned around, he found someone to dig his grave, and smashed the body into ashes to eliminate the hatred in his heart.

Look at this bullshit magistrate, who actually appeared in front of him triumphantly, asking him for credit with his crooked and red body.

Ah~ so angry.

But I can't seem to do anything about him.

Hold back, hold back, if you can't bear it a little, you can make big plans. If you accidentally kill someone, it's hard to deal with it. If you don't deal with it cleanly, you may really have to rebel.

Anyway, this person has already been caught by the blood coagulation god, and he will not die for a few days.

Liu Dapao was also very nervous. He felt that this Geng Jingzhong was swishing murderous intent at him. He was a veteran at any rate. He was a small rebel, and he was quite life-threatening. Who would want to take the initiative to provoke him? him.

In fact, Liu Dapao really didn't do it on purpose, he didn't want to meet the traitor Geng Jingzhong at all, but didn't this happen by chance?What can he do?
He is just a small magistrate, if he meets King Jingnan, why don't he come over to say hello?Since we are saying hello, we must introduce the situation of today's battle.

So after briefly introducing the situation of the battle and the cause and effect, he decisively shut his mouth.

As a result, there was a moment of silence in the tent, and Xue Wei was a little embarrassed.

Considering that they killed so many people today, they were all Geng Jingzhong's confidantes, and they were all the robes of other soldiers in this tent. In Mao Wenlong's time, he was born and died together, and he may have agreed to live and die with his close relatives in the wind and rain. It feels like this Geng Jingzhong's military camp is like a dragon's pond and a tiger's den.

All eyes were on him, swish, swish, swish, swish.

So embarrassing.

What was even more embarrassing was that beside me was a blind man who seemed to be called Niu Dabiao, who was originally Deng Guangming's subordinate.

"Then what, that... my lord, our prefect was caught by that thief Chen Jinnan before, and he was not feeling well. Don't think that he is acting as usual. In fact, his body is suffering from great pain all the time! It is impolite to be cold-hearted. Please forgive me."

Saying that, showing a bright smile like a flower, he passed Liu Dapao and moved forward, obviously intending to take this opportunity to give King Jingnan a good hug, but he vividly described the various aspects of their battle. This kind of details, and how brave they were on the battlefield, how the bandit soldiers fell into trouble, described everything again in every detail.

"My lord, you personally led the troops to support us. We Cantonese must be very sensitive. How can you let King Jingnan make this trip in vain? We have won a complete victory in this battle. After this day, the first level alone will be enough for us." More than 1000 were chopped off, let's share half with you when we meet?"

As he said that, the general offered a treasure, so he took a big sack, and when it fell down, a pile of human heads rolled down with a rumbling noise, rolling wantonly.

Seeing it, Liu Dapao covered his face.

Geng Jingzhong's face turned green, seeing these familiar faces, tears flowed down his face.

"My lord? Why are you... crying?"

Geng Jingzhong couldn't control it anymore, he raised his head and gave Niu Dabiao a vicious look, but Niu Dabiao was so frightened that his legs went limp.

Niu Dabiao couldn't do it either, he didn't understand what he said wrong just now.

How come King Jingnan behaved the same way he saw the head of his own robe when he saw the enemy's head?
"Good... good... very good...you are really good!!"

Geng Jingzhong was so angry that he gritted his teeth, looked up at Liu Dapao, his eyes were burning.

"Liu Xun, the magistrate of Chaozhou, right? I remember you, hahahahaha."

As he spoke, he held his hand without any explanation, and firmly held his pulse door.

However, it was extremely impolite to inject a strong internal force into Li Dapao's body, and probed his physical condition until he confirmed that the blood in his body was indeed viscous, that time was running out and it was normal. It was only a few days before he died, so he let go.

"The king is tired, you all step back."

Only then did Liu Dapao take Niu Dabiao's hand and trot all the way with relief, and escaped from the camp of King Jingnan's army as if fleeing for his life, leaving only the whole army of King Jingnan up and down, and the heads all over the ground.

Not long after, I heard a very sad cry from inside.

Niu Dabiao was still in a daze, and said: "No, prefect, what's the situation? Did I say something wrong just now?"

"Shut up! Let's go, you don't want to die!"

Niu Dabiao was inexplicably shocked when he heard the words, but he couldn't help thinking about it.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt something was wrong.

Suddenly realized: "Ah~, could it be that King Jingnan and the rebels from the Tiandihui have colluded long ago?"

"Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! Don't think about it, the less you know, the safer you are, and the more you know, the faster you die, you understand? I don't care how you make up your mind, in short, put I will rot in my stomach all the crazy things in your mind for the rest of my life, and don't tell anyone, do you know?"

"Oh~ So that's how it is. Don't worry, Lord Prefect. I have the strictest mouth. I promise to keep my mouth shut."

So within a few days, the whole army knew the gossip that King Jingnan and the Tiandihui were colluding secretly.

Soon, the news spread everywhere in the streets and alleys.

Originally, this news was not very lethal. After all, not many people really believed it. It was just a malicious slander. After all, Geng Jingzhong had done a lot of evil things. The common people hated him as a traitor. Many messy market rumors slandered him, and he himself was used to it.

until……

A few days later, news came from Fujian that Geng Jingzhong had fallen for the Tiandihui rebels' plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain. While he was still in Chaozhou, Feng Xifan, a general under the rebel Zheng's command, led an elite navy to surprise the Fujian navy. , won a complete victory, seized nearly 180 large and small ships, and more than [-] cannons in the camp were also wrapped up.

It can be said that within a day, the Fujian navy was wiped out.

Not to mention, at the same time that Feng Xifan broke through the Fujian navy, Chen Jinnan, the chief rudder of the Tiandihui, personally commanded the members of the Fujian Tiandihui to spring up like mushrooms after a spring rain, inciting the refugees to make troubles, attacking and killing countless wealthy households, Even kill officials and rebel.

In just two days, a total of 30 refugees were ensnared, but Feng Xifan took them all away.

Immigrants are gone.

The reason why it was so smooth is also due to its predecessors. As early as the era of Zheng Jing's grandfather Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Zhilong had successively immigrated from Fujian to Wanwan with no less than one million people as the foundation of his career.

Zheng Zhilong gave them 20 taels of silver for each of these immigrant people in Wanwan, and each family of five also gave them a farm cattle. It can be said that the treatment is extremely generous. Since the end of Ming Dynasty, everyone has communicated so frequently. Fujianese Everyone knows the situation over there, and the ordinary civilians are drooling with envy.

As for the reputation of the Zheng family, at least the people in Fujian have no doubts at all. It is far from being comparable to the imperial court. In addition, the order to move to the sea has made everyone so miserable that they can't live happily. When they heard that the Zheng family came They accepted them, and they rushed to follow them crying one by one.

Even if you go to Wanwan, you can only be a refugee, which is better than being a refugee in Fujian.

And since we are going to leave, it is naturally impossible not to rob a lot along the way. The heroes of the Tiandihui do not rob ordinary people, but they will never be soft when they treat wealthy businessmen, sages and gentry.

As for the soldiers and horses in Fujian, the elite part was taken away by Geng Jingzhong.

If you want to stop it, you can't stop it.

It's strange that this rumor can't spread. After all, although the Fujian navy is not as elite as the Zheng's navy, defense is easier than offense, right?How did this wipe out the entire army?Those 180 cannons are all unfit for display?

What?I heard that Geng Jingzhong vomited blood after hearing the news?
Who knows if he is pretending!

They didn't know that the Fujian navy happened to come to Chaozhou disguised as Zheng's navy that day, and it happened to be killed by Liu Dapao and suffered heavy losses.

In fact, these unlucky people were all stupid after fleeing back to Fujian after crossing mountains and mountains.

I just lost the battle in Chaozhou, why did I lose the battle in Fujian?Or the entire army was wiped out, and the establishment of the Fujian Navy was gone!
It seems... this family can't go back.

Really can only fall into the grass in the mountains of northern Guangdong.

No, the lord has to ask for some money to compensate us for the loss, he is the one who caused the mess to this day!
Anyway, after such a battle, Geng Jingzhong's prestige in this southeast generation fell to the bottom all at once.

Usually, that is, the common people hate him, but his orders are still very effective within the military system, so what can common people say to have a fart?

But this time, he was completely naked in the army system, and he lost all his face in circles.

Moreover, the army outside the lineage system just despised him, and the army of the royal family that he relied on the most on weekdays already hated him a little bit.

You know, Geng Jingzhong didn't get the King Jingnan hat on his head all by himself. This hat has been handed down to him, and it is already the third generation. His grandfather Geng Zhongming is the entrepreneurial generation. The second generation Jingnan King, his father, Geng Jimao, died last year.

In other words, he just became the King of Jingnan this year, and it was time for him to do something big to establish his prestige and declare his existence.

As a result, this is it?
Those old hearts left to him by his grandfather and father are so refreshing.

Of course, some families were happy and some were worried. Fujian's disastrous defeat against Tiandihui and Zheng's further highlighted the invaluability of Chaozhou's victory.

Anyway, let’s look at the results. Everyone’s opponents are the same. You are the king of Jingnan, with more than 3 regular green battalion soldiers and horses. You not only intercept the local salt and iron business taxes in Fujian, but also occupy the former Ming royal family’s Huangzhuang. Hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land, and the imperial government spends nearly one million taels of silver every year to raise soldiers. As a result, the losers in this battle are ashamed.

Look at Liu Xun again, who was born in the imperial examination, a civil servant, a civil servant!A recruit who hasn't been on the battlefield for a day!The Chaozhou army used has just lost a chief soldier and two deputy chief soldiers, and the group has no leader. How can they fight the battle so beautifully?

I also heard that Chen Jinnan's blood-clotting claws in Liu Xun's body are already seriously injured and waiting to die, and he can walk, sit, and lie down only with great perseverance.

Although the people all over the world couldn't help comparing him with Xin Qiji, Wen Tianxiang and others when they mentioned this person, in the end, most of them spit out contemptuously and cursed the traitor as a dog to end it.

But at least the people of Chaozhou are still very grateful to him.

At least, he can be regarded as stepping on Geng Jingzhong's face and becoming famous all over the world.

However, for Liu Dapao himself, he didn't think it was a good thing at all.

Geng Jingzhong, this time he must hate himself to death.

Shang Ke likes the lineage of King Pingnan, and he doesn't know why he hates himself so much.

I, the prefect of Chaozhou, happened to be sandwiched between these two vassal kings. Will my life be better in the future?In the future when San Francisco is in chaos, these two people will not be the first to kill themselves?
Even if one's identity is exposed in the future, it may have an impact on Tiandihui's plan to cooperate with them, but in Liu Dapao's view, it is a bit of a small loss.

Besides, making such a great contribution this time is really far from my original plan for a mediocre official. The imperial court will definitely send envoys to reward me. Maybe it's Liu Xun's old friend in Beijing. Big.

and so.

Taking advantage of the congealed blood in my body, I'd better hurry up and finish the finishing work of this matter, and then feign death and get away.
