Great Qing Dynasty talker

Chapter 353 Young Master, don’t open the window, the wind in Jinan Mansion is poor!

Su Shiba's eyes were wide open, he raised his flintlock gun with a bayonet and cursed:
"Li Yu, you are not a man on horseback. If I don't die, I will take your head in the future!"

After shouting, he took the lead in charging.

Hu Zhihuang shouted loudly:
"As for the gunners, aim at the leader. Prepare and release."

The sound of gunfire was deafening and the smoke filled the air.

Su Shiba was hit by countless bullets, and blood was pouring all over his body.

He fell down unwillingly~
The last scene in his mind was that of Su Qinglian playing with Li Yu.

"Smelly cousin."

……

Once the backbone died, the rest of the people either surrendered or fled.

The Eight Banners soldiers rushed in and killed Ge Shishen and his family of more than 20 people.

He revealed an important message:
"Those ferries at Qingjiangpu in Huai'an are an open chess piece. The hundreds of canopy canopies in Chaohu are a secret chess piece. Jiangxi officers and soldiers are losing ground on the surface, but that doesn't matter. As long as the crossing of the river is successful, Jiangnan will immediately surrender to the imperial court. "

Hu Zhihuang and Ajiga had a closer relationship, and even talked about Anqing's military secrets.

……

"Of course."

……

With a bright smile on his face, Aji majestically led the Eight Banners athletes to hunt down the defeated troops.

The two of them were like brothers, talking and laughing.

Those who fought bravely and besieged the front line were divided into 10 taels. Divide the rest evenly, with each person getting 2 to 3 taels.

Ajiga smiled widely, as if he understood everything.

"We rejoice together. In this battle, we and the Manchu and Han soldiers fought side by side and annihilated all the elite soldiers who crossed the river under the command of the puppet King of Wu. With such a great achievement, the head and the victory documents must be sent to Anqing as soon as possible, right?"

The prisoners kneeling around them rushed towards their weapons, but were killed with swords and spears by the soldiers who were a step faster.

The purpose is to ransack homes and make money!

Killing is not the purpose.

Hu Zhihuang divided 1000 taels. Ajiga received 500 taels, and each of the other Eight Banners soldiers received 50 taels. The soldiers who followed Hu Zhihuang's charge each received 20 taels.

For a time, mourning flooded the land, and blood flew everywhere.

"Whoo."

Carrying the bloody head, he loudly ordered:
“Tell the brothers, take no prisoners, kill them all, kill them all.”

Blood drips down~
Seeing Hu Zhihuang, he dismounted with a grunt:

He is really not afraid of this kind of thing.

"What do you mean?"

Ajiga's military position is not high, but he is very well-informed.

Suddenly, Hu Zhihuang whispered:

……

"There is a gentry named Ge nearby who provides information on food and salary to this group of Wu thieves. He cooperates internally and externally in an attempt to overthrow the Qing Dynasty~"

Hu Zhihuang's heart palpitated when he heard this, and he quickly asked:

"There is such a bad gentry? Kill him! He must be killed."

Half an hour later,
After the smoke from the battlefield cleared, the Green Camp soldiers laughed and inspected the corpses, beheading them one by one.

"You take a hundred people and surround Gecun first."

"Whoo."

Ajiga came with a face full of joy, with four heads hanging on the saddle.

Then he called the Green Camp soldiers to come in and help.

Green camp soldiers killing gentry may cause trouble later. When the soldiers of the Eight Banners killed the gentry, everyone pretended not to see it.

Those soldiers from the Green Camp of Jiangpu Town who had not received military honors seemed to have been beaten to death. They were running alongside the war horses, just to get their blades stained with blood and grab fresh heads.

"I'm afraid that the reward money will be made difficult by the superiors. Why don't we do something exciting now?"

Hu Zhihuang walked to Su Shiba's body with a big knife, glanced at the neck, and chopped it off hard.

"understand."

"Ahem, the Ge family is a gentry after all. You are a Mandarin, so it will be easier for you to take the lead."

Move out the Ge family's money and divide it among everyone.

Hu Zhihuang waved his hand and summoned two General Managers:
"You, take the people and collect all the flintlock guns, including the ones broken in two."

"General Hu, congratulations."

"The Yangtze River is so wide, and it is said that the Wu thieves' warships have very powerful artillery."

Ajiga chuckled:
"The puppet king of Wu has brought all the main forces on land and water to fight in Jiangxi. Reinforcements from Wu Yangyang from various southern provinces have gathered in Jiangxi, which is enough for him to fight for a while."

"Sir, how do you know so many secrets?"

"I am a man of Xianghuang Banner. I was born in the imperial city and grew up in Sijiu City. I was once the general's general in Fuyuan. I'm just waiting to accumulate some military merits in this battle. I will happily upgrade a few levels and go to Suzhou to do it all. A co-leader and a leader.”

Hu Zhihuang quickly handed over a banknote humbly:
"When the time comes, please ask your brothers to help with the activities."

"Easy to say, easy to say."

……

chaohu,

In the southeast of Luzhou Prefecture (Hefei).

Hu Zhihuang didn't understand the importance of this place to Jiang Fang, but it didn't affect him from spreading the information, and it was passed to Liu Qian through the early post information point.

Liu Qiandun felt a lot of pressure and began to make some preparations.

On the other hand, the information was sent to His Majesty who was supervising the war in Nanchang.

At the same time, the 1st Army Corps stationed in Jiangning and the patrol branches of various states and counties were reminded to strengthen their vigilance.

Through Chongming's deputy naval commander Wei Zilong, warships from Taihu, Jinshanwei, and even Hangzhou and Huzhou were hurriedly transferred north to station in Jiangning, Jiangyin and Taicang to strengthen the river defense.

It can be said that Wu Guo was scrambling for time day and night.

Every day the time is delayed, Jiangnan will be safer by one point.

……

The military reports that the Wu army raided Jiangpu and were annihilated by Hu Zhihuang's troops were sent to the Anqing camp and the Jiangbei camp respectively.

The moment Mingliang received the military report, his heart skipped a beat.

"Could it be that General Fuyuan's surprise plan to cross the river was discovered by the south, so the puppet King of Wu sent troops to test it?"

The thought lingered in his mind.

Until the people below come to ask for instructions:

"Master, when will the boat from Chao Lake leave south?"

"Wait a minute, wait a minute."

Mingliang, who had been violently beaten by Li Yu, became much less courageous and timid. Every move made by Nanfang made him doubtful, pondering over and over again, and indecisive.

Jiangbei Camp,

Hailancha's first reaction was to "go south quickly."

However, the official document traveled three times between Yizheng County and Anqing Prefecture, but still failed to finalize the date for the troops.

This put him in a very embarrassing situation.

Hundreds of large ships at Qingjiangpu in Huai'an Prefecture are still quietly anchored.

If Agui is here, a military order, whether it is Mingliang, Hailancha, or the dead Fukangan, will immediately obey it.

But when Agui returns to the capital, no one can direct the other between Mingliang and Hailancha.

……

Jinan Prefecture,
Furong Street.

It has always been an undisputed first-class prosperous place in the provincial capital, with government offices, government schools, Confucian temples, and various high-end shops gathered together. The patrolling soldiers passing by from time to time also highlight the uniqueness of this place!
Jiang Yu, the son of Yangzhou salt merchant Jiang Chun, was wandering around boredly.

There were four bodyguards not far behind him, carrying sharp knives at their waists. They kept a distance of less than 4 feet from their master, not daring to get too close or too far away.

"Chu Er, is there anything fun?"

Chu Er is the son of the chief steward of Jiang Mansion. The father serves Mr. Jiang, and the son serves the young master. It is logical and reasonable, and it is also a family inheritance.

He whispered:
"How about we go to the theater?"

"It's boring."

"Shall we go to Daming Lake to have a boat ride?"

"Those cheesy fans and their flattering smiles make me sick to my stomach just by looking at them."

"Shall we go out of town and go hunting?"

"It's too bloody, I don't like it."

"Looking for some of our literati to play elegantly with the young master?"

"Come on! Those spineless scholars, when I pluck the strings, they burst into tears and insist that I am the living piano saint."

……

The little housekeeper Chu Er couldn't hold it back.

laughed:

"Sir, your identity is so eye-catching. You are the only son of the salt merchants of Huaihe and Huaihe. Those people can't help but fawn over you when they see you."

Jiang Yu turned his head and frowned:

"What happened to the salt merchant's son? I just want to be like an ordinary person and have some fun in life. Is this a difficult request?" Chu Er smiled reluctantly:
"Young master, it's actually not difficult at all. It's all because those people are spineless and act like lapdogs."

"Hey~"

Looking at the young master's clear, melancholy, longing for poverty (equality) eyes, Chu Er felt sad for a while.

I swear secretly,

We must find a way to find some real joy for the young master.

An ordinary person might find Jiang Yu's idea absurd and unworthy of beating.

This is similar to the idea that "the empress of the East Palace bakes big cakes, the empress of the West Palace peels garlic, and the emperor cultivates the land with a golden hoe." It is a misunderstanding that is difficult to explain.

Would a life with a lot of money be boring?
The answer is:
It would be really boring. Otherwise, there would be no such creatures as "helpers".

Help,

It is to help the "second generation who are tired of playing everything" find the joy of life and help them spend money.

……

As a son of the Jiang family, Chu Er knew very well how boring the lives of young masters were.

He rolled his eyes:
"Master, I have a bold idea."

"speak!"

"Everyone in this slightly higher-end gold-selling cave in Jinan knows the young master. Let's change our appearance this time and show up as a poor person~ah, bah, as an ordinary person~"

Jiang Yu was thoughtful, his eyes brightened, and he happily kicked on the spot.

slap~
The range of movement was too large, and he accidentally kicked over the stall next to him.

The stall owner was stunned and squatted on the ground in pain, looking at the snacks rolling to the ground, his hands trembling.

Chu Er casually took out a piece of silver from his sleeve and threw it on the ground, not bothering to take another look at the stall owner's wonderful expression.

I’ve seen this kind of pretentious scene too many times, and I’m tired of it!
He quickly followed the young master and observed his words:

"Master, what do you think?"

"good."

"But in this case, some snobs may regard the young master as a poor man and offend the young master."

"What's the point? I just want to experience for myself what it's like to be poor."

Jiang Yu's eyebrows were dancing with joy, and her clear and stupid eyes were full of yearning.

……

First, you have to change your clothes.

Even a blind person could tell that the gorgeous clothes Jiang Yu wore were expensive.

While he was drinking tea and resting,

Chu Er turned to the alley next door and looked at the passers-by coldly.

The clothes should be cheap, but they should not be dirty or smelly.

exactly,

At this time, a slightly shabby scholar wearing a long coat of coarse cloth passed by. The cloth was starched and turned white. What a coincidence, they have similar body shapes~
Chu Er took a step forward:
"You, take off your gown."

"In broad daylight, the world is bright, you~"

A piece of silver was stretched out in front of him.

Chu Er whispered in a disgusted and impatient tone:

"The gown belongs to me, and the money belongs to you. Come on, if you keep nagging me, I will have you thrown into Daming Lake."

The scholar never imagined that he could make money by taking off his long gown.

He quickly took the money, quickly took off his gown, and handed it to Chu Er.

He asked kindly:

"Do you still want the ones inside?"

"roll."

……

10 taels of silver in exchange for a starched long gown that is about to be scrapped.

It’s obviously a loss!

But from the perspective of Chu Er, this is very profitable.

Spend the young master's money and win the young master's trust. This transaction is worth it!
"Master, I am sorry for you to change into these clothes."

"Chu Er, you are very efficient in doing things."

Chu Er smiled slightly and waited for him to change clothes.

I also spent 5 cents on a shaver in the alley to get my hair styled, a hair style that suited my current poverty status.

When Jiang Yu passed by a shop selling rouge and gouache, he couldn't help but steal a glance at the bronze mirror in the window.

in the mirror,
Old clothes, sloppy hairstyle, and thin beard, the whole person exuded a sense of poverty. Is it really you?
This is great.

……

Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper rushed out:

"Cao, you poor fellow from the country, you take a pee and look at yourself, why don't you deserve to look at this high-end bronze mirror? It's worn out, are you stupid enough to give me money?"

Jiang Yu's veins suddenly popped out and his fists clenched.

In 18 years of life, this is the first time I have suffered such severe humiliation. I feel very uncomfortable and angry!
suddenly,
He realized that didn't this indicate the success of his transformation?
Instantly relieved,

He smiled shyly and turned away.

The shopkeeper was jumping behind him angrily, cursing:

"Poor guy~ You're still laughing when you're riding a horse, you're laughing at your mother."

Chu Er couldn't help it anymore and licked his lips at the bodyguard who was watching silently from a distance.

then,

A bodyguard walked over and grabbed the shopkeeper and gave him a violent beating. Then he picked up a stick and simply decorated the shop - "Jinchuan Frontline Style".

Afterwards, he clapped his hands and walked away.

The sequence of protecting the young master has been re-integrated.

Jiang Yu will never know all of this, it is all the personal behavior of the evil slave Chu Er.

……

Mr. Jiang, who was full of expectations in his heart, wore a wrinkled and starched coarse cloth gown, his hands clasped and his neck hunched as he walked into a shop on Qushuiting Street that was famous for its shopkeepers.

He has been to this place three times before~
Fortunately,

Turtle Master didn't recognize it at all, stretched out his arms and shouted:

"Stop, is this where you can come in?"

"I, I saved 5 taels, can I go in and have a look?"

"Five taels, enough to sit in the lobby on the first floor for a while." Mr. Turtle hesitated and decided to earn this ingot of silver.

Afternoon is the off-season, so leisure time is also leisure time.

Lobby,
A dozen girls fanned lazily.

In this kind of poverty in rags and rags, whoever takes over will lose.

Mr. Turtle couldn't see it, so he walked over and whispered: "Girls, who can go and chat with this poor guy to kill him?"

then,

Then he pointed to the innermost table and said to Jiang Yu:
"You can sit here."

After a while, the most marginalized girl, Ruyue, came over angrily.

He picked up the teapot and poured a cup for "Qiongbi Jiangyu":
"Sir, have some tea."

Jiang Yuzheng was excited and felt that this feeling was so novel.

He picked it up and took a sip:
"What kind of tea is this? I've never drunk it before?"

Hahahahaha,
Ruyue laughed so hard that her stomach hurt. It took her a while to stop laughing, and she wiped her tears and asked:

"Gao Mo, you can drink a big bowl for a penny outside. No, I just want to ask, what are you pretending to be?"

……

Because the afternoon was too idle, and there was a silly freshness in Jiang Yu's eyes.

The chat between the two was unexpectedly interesting.

Miss Kisaragi felt that although the guest in front of her was a little poor, she still knew a lot.

He plays piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and can talk about anything.

Jiang Yu received "relatively equal" service for the first time. He chatted particularly enthusiastically and even moved the unused guzheng in the hall to exchange piano skills.

Chu Er hid in the corner and watched, feeling particularly pleased. It had been a long time since he had seen his young master smiling so brightly.

"Hey, is this really your first time here?"

"Yes, yes. I saved up pens, ink, paper, and inkstones for two months just to be able to come in."

Looking at Jiang Yu's innocent face, Ru Yue felt suspicious for a moment. She always felt that this boy's face was pale and he didn't look like he came from a poor family.

suddenly,

A fat satin man came over and grabbed her wrist:

"Ruyue, go upstairs and play with my friends."

Ruyue felt aggrieved and stood up to leave. After all, this fat man is quite rich.
