Chapter 1876 Remove the Old and Bring the New ([-])

"It's incredible, I can't believe it."

"Now I'm going to take the exam for Australians. That's what I'm going to do. You can trust it, but what if you don't?"

"I've been studying the Four Books and Five Classics for years, but when the Australians came, they were all in vain! If I want to gain fame in the new dynasty, I have to become Fu Feng again and learn from scratch."

"So what if you pass the exam? Feng San next door to my house took the boy's exam for more than 20 years. Every time he waited for the end of the exam, he went home clutching his buttocks. The family was so poor that his wife ran away-this time he went back to take the civil service exam. I took it. Now I am working as a copywriter in the tax bureau, I am busy from morning to night, and I have to go to various places to collect taxes, and argue with the peasants for a few pennies. It is said that it is an official, but it is just a petty official!"

"You don't understand this. The so-called fierce generals start from the ranks, and the towers start from the prefectures and counties. The Australians go one step further. They act like officials and officials. All officials start from small officials..."

"Unexpectedly, Brother Wang is so familiar with Kun Qing!"

"Don't dare to dare, the so-called one who knows the current affairs is a hero, Zhou Xiandi should not be crippled, this word'髡' is really insulting to the state, my virtuous brother should not say it in the future..."

Gao Lingda couldn't help shaking his head listening to his classmates' discussion: "It's just nonsense!"

After the Australians came to the city, at the beginning, many scholars still felt that their home country was changing, and their hearts were towards Ming Dynasty.Some people also wrote poems and essays to denounce the ambitions of thieves and wolves, but as the Australians wiped out the officers and soldiers in Guangdong, the overall situation has been settled, and more and more people are blinded by fame and wealth. student.I don't know how many people have made up their minds, as long as Australians recruit virtuous people, they will decline a few times, "bear the burden of humiliation and sacrifice their lives to become thieves".Some of them have already started to drill around, looking for Australians.I don't know when Australian pseudo-learning became popular among scholars.Gao Lingda's heart aches and feels free.

In the past, all the people who looked down upon themselves were so dignified, but within a few days, they also forgot their sense of shame, loyalty and filial piety, and the principles of monarch, minister, minister, father, and son.Anxious to sell the owner and ask for Rong to find his own wealth - these are all people who have received the kindness of the court, and have the reputation of being a child care worker and a life supervisor!
Thinking of his current situation, Gao Lingda couldn't help but feel sad, and the table was full of delicacies and tasteless.

After hastily eating lunch, the boy packed up the food box and left.Gao Lingda also had no intention of studying, and wanted to go home, but thinking of the situation at home, he really didn't bother to go back.

There is only one wife in his family who has been in the family for less than two years. If you want to talk about her family background, she can barely be regarded as a scholarly family-the daughter of a poor school teacher who has never been to school.Gao Tianshi's marriage naturally had the intention of "whitewashing" his family background.However, although the other party was so poor that he had nowhere to stand, he still felt that he had suffered a great grievance by marrying his daughter.This daughter-in-law was naturally unwilling. Although she strictly abides by women's morals on weekdays, it is completely out of the question to talk about the love between husband and wife.

If the students married their wives, at least the first year of their marriage would still be as close as glue, and they would rush home early on the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, and they would often be teased.

The teasing is all teasing, and the parties are happy with it.Compared with himself, Gao Lingda couldn't help being discouraged.

Being depressed, there was a sudden commotion outside.Then there was the sound of "ping ping" with a sharp whistle.All the scholars in the study were stunned, this is the sound of quick gunshots from Australians!
After the Australians entered the city, such gunshots could be heard from time to time inside and outside Guangzhou in the early months.But in recent months, as the law and order has gradually calmed down, such gunshots have been rarely heard.

Now a gun was fired suddenly, and the sound of the guns was still so dense - listening to the sound, it seemed that it was not far from here.Are the Australians "searching for bandits" again, or are the officers and soldiers calling back suddenly?The scholars who had been talking loudly suddenly fell silent, no one spoke, and there was a dead silence in the study.

The gunshots outside gradually faded away, but the commotion outside became louder and louder. The dense footsteps on the street could be heard clearly even in the study in the inner courtyard.Everyone was anxious, when they suddenly saw a handyman coming in from the outer courtyard, someone hurriedly called him to ask for news.

"I don't even know what happened. The Australians suddenly dispatched a lot of troops. Soldiers were deployed on every street corner, and pedestrians were prohibited from passing."

"Australians are stalking the city again?"

"I've heard that it is. But I don't know who will be arrested. The younger one saw soldiers on the street at the door, not only the police, but also the national army... Even the Japanese and Koreans came out..."

There was a lot of discussion among the people. It had been a long time since such a large-scale search of the whole city had happened—I don’t know who is so sacred that it can make the Australians put in so much effort to deal with it?
Although he was full of doubts, when Zhu Sheng heard that he was just calling all over the city, and it wasn't Daming calling again, the expressions on his faces became much more relaxed——Since ancient times, soldiers have been attacked by bandits, and Australians are considered an outlier!If the officers and soldiers of Ming Dynasty really fought back, it would be too late to escape.

As soon as the atmosphere became relaxed, chatting began again in the study.Gao Lingda was bored, but he could only be patient. Finally, it was getting late when the servants said that the blockade outside had been lifted, so he got up, tidied up a little and left the academy to go back to Jinhua Temple.

Although the blockade has been lifted, there are still many police and National Army on the street, and the refusal horses at the intersection have not been withdrawn.All of them looked terrified.The police batons and shields, the national army's guns and live ammunition are not counted, and the guns are also equipped with sharp swords, which looks very cold.As for the Japanese pirates who worked for the Australians, they had two knives in their waists and hideous iron masks on their faces, similar to evil spirits.Gao Lingda didn't dare to look too much, and walked against the wall with his schoolbag in his arms.

There were few pedestrians on the street, and Gao Lingda walked in a hurry.In twos and threes on the street, there are Australian clerks, tin buckets and brooms with long handles.It seems to be painting some slogan notice on the wall.This is not a rare event in Guangzhou, and Gao Lingda didn't want to see it.As he was walking, he suddenly heard a commotion in the street.He hurried to the side to hide, but saw a group of prisoners coming up the road: dozens of beggars in rags and knotted clothes were tied up with ropes and staggered past by soldiers with bayonets on them.Their faces were confused and shocked, as if they didn't understand what was going on.Someone had wounds on his body, which were wrapped up indiscriminately, with blood oozing out.The police officers kept driving them away with sticks.

How is this going?Gao Lingda was secretly surprised.Since the Chaozhou Guild Hall riots, Gao Tianshi has instructed all the sinuses to "be careful not to offend the thieves." As a result, all the sinuses have restrained themselves, and dare not do many businesses that they used to take for granted.After the eldest brother succeeded to the throne, his tail was clamped even tighter.Who are these people from, and what did they do to offend the Australians?Thinking of the sound of the blunderbuss just now, he felt more and more uneasy.

Gao Lingda was in a panic when he suddenly saw that the Australians who had painted the walls and slogans in front had left, and the walls had been covered with words in white ash.When he looked up, he saw the word "beggar".He was taken aback, and hurried over to read it carefully.

Looking at it this way, it was like being poured with a bucket of snow water in three or nine days.

But I saw the title: Announcement of Da Song’s Australian Tour in Guangzhou Special City forcibly sheltering beggars and homeless people

He only felt that his mind was buzzing, and he couldn't read a word of what was written below.Of course Gao Lingda knew what this notice meant——although the Australians have been squeezing the "living space" of beggars for half a year since entering the city, due to the disparity in strength between the two sides, whether Gao Tianshi or Gao Lingxiang , did not dare to confront it head-on, only dared to use some dirty tricks secretly.Therefore, although the two sides have minor frictions, they are generally in peace.The Gao family and the big bones still have a glimmer of hope, they can survive like this for five or six years, and wait until Daming comes to recover Guangzhou before making any calculations.

And this announcement is a declaration of war by the Kun bandits against the people and horses of Guandi Temple!

Gao Lingda felt cold all over, and was stunned for a while.

I was in a daze, and my arm was grabbed by someone.He was taken aback, and was about to question him, when someone dragged him into a nearby alley.

Gao Lingda took a closer look, he didn't know the person coming, and judging by his attire, he was also a Confucian scholar.

"Why are you still wandering in the street!"

"Who are you?"

"It doesn't matter who I am," the visitor said anxiously, "I've been looking for you for a long time!"

Now Gao Lingda was confused, he murmured: "The student and the master are strangers..."

"You don't know me, but I know you." The Confucian scholar said, "You are the fifth son of Gao Tianshi, the son of Seventh Aunt, Gao Lingda!"

This time Gao Lingda was surprised, the other party knew so clearly, he must know himself.He tried to think about it again, but he really couldn't remember who he was.Surprised, he just nodded.

"The Kun bandits have wiped out the Jinhua Temple!"

Gao Lingda's mind went "boom", no matter how he felt about this home, after all, Jinhua Temple was his home for 19 years.It is his home where he can shelter from the wind and rain.

At this moment, he only felt cold all over, and he couldn't even speak.Australians have been known for their vicious methods and decisive and cruel actions.When the Jinhua Temple was suppressed, the Gao family must be destroyed—although he has a lot of slander against his eldest brother, they are his relatives after all, not to mention that there are several brothers and sisters in the family, as well as his own wife...

Thinking of this, his complexion turned pale, and his body was already crumbling.

"Don't be afraid, the people in your family are fine!" The visitor probably knew what he was thinking, and said, "But you can't go back, you have to hide immediately—the gangster is arresting people by name, and everyone from the Gao family is running away not drop."

Gao Lingdarian said "yes" a few times, but he couldn't move his feet.Fear and despair filled his heart, he hid, where did he hide?He studied at a young age, and his family's "business" has never been involved, and his father also intentionally separated him from the people of Guandi Temple. For 19 years, the only place he knew to go was the Jinhua Temple, or the poor father-in-law's house-it's hard to say whether this father-in-law will turn his face now!
