Dragon Soul in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 128

Accustomed to being in the army, wandering abroad, he suddenly returned to the bustling capital, which made Fan Yun feel unhappy. However, the queen Zhang Yan fell ill, and the wolves around him looked around. He also carefully concealed his dissatisfaction. Now He is a guerrilla general, although his official position is not big.

At any rate, he is the queen's confidant, and it's easy to get lost if he is surrounded by flattery, gold and silver. However, Fan Yun struggled from a depressed family. It is easy to get lost, so he has been vigilant.

Looking at the soldiers who were promoted from the lower ranks together in the past, lost in the money and beauty, Fan Yun felt uncomfortable, but he was more determined. He also likes these things, but his mind is sober. when touching.

In order to save his former colleagues, he also quietly entrusted the eunuch of the supervising army to personally send a superstitious letter to the queen explaining the pros and cons of it.

Zhang Yan knew every move in the [-]th Regiment Battalion like the palm of his hand, but Fan Yuntuo sent a letter from the eunuch of the supervising army, which explained the matter clearly from the inside to the outside. She didn't take any measures, she wanted to see how much gold could be left after the big waves washed the sand.

Obviously Zhang Yan's next move will definitely set off another bloodbath in the capital.

The battle in the capital has reached a fever pitch, but these have nothing to do with the people in the outlying areas, at least not with a farmer in the dam of Xiawanshengchang in Chongqing Prefecture. However, this farmer has been paying attention to the general situation of the world, because his son was promoted out of Sichuan with Lu Xiang. , went to suppress the red-clothed thief.

Now that the red-clothed thief is approaching Sichuan, his reputation has long been known throughout the world, and there are rumors of everything.

Good man: The red-clothed thieves have unparalleled combat power in the world, and they descended to earth as soldiers of heaven. If there is any basis for it, just look at the history of their rise.

Evil: The thief in red is as fierce as a thief, annoys those who pass the border like locusts, does not leave a little money for the rich, beheads at every turn, kills people in the wild, and commits crimes that are too numerous to write down.

However, regardless of whether it is good or evil, strong or weak, the Red Army has now become a powerful force that can influence the general situation of the world. When they step into the land of Shu at this time, the people of Sichuan dare not not cheer up.

Due to the impact of war and natural disasters, Sichuan's grain production has also decreased a lot. However, Sichuan has been rich since ancient times, and there has not been a scene of starvation for thousands of miles. He paid [-]% of the taxes and land rent, and kept [-]% with some wild vegetables and tree roots. He was barely able to live as an old man.

Even in the most chaotic time, he was not as worried as he is now. Mo Min miraculously got involved in a life lawsuit. A drug dealer who came down from Guanba died because of the fake medicine he sold. Chased and killed him, hid in his pigsty, fell into the cesspit and drowned.

Originally, this Miao soldier deserved to be unlucky. The villagers in the village could help each other, and they went to court to make a confession, and the government filed a case and it was over. I don't know what went wrong, but the Miao leader on Guanba got wind of it. It is said that the Han family deliberately shielded the murderer, so the government has to give an explanation.

Groups of Miao soldiers with firecrackers and bows and arrows came down the mountain. The government had no choice but to hand over the old man Qin to make amends. However, Miao Bing insisted that all the accomplices who testified to cover him would be killed. hand it over.

No matter how stupid the person in charge of the government is, he knew that the Miao soldiers were not kind, so he took advantage of this to get mad, and hurriedly sent people to the Chongqing government. Only then did he get the news that the red-clothed soldiers took a boat along the river overnight, and came from the natural danger of Qutang. However, the commander of Qutang Guards did not respond at all. In the early morning of the next day, the red army had arrived in Chongqing and fought against the imperial navy at Nanping Pass. Teng couldn't move, but was forced to retreat by the small fire boat of the government army.

But then the officers and soldiers rushed forward greedily, and the red-clothed army on the shore took the opportunity to enter Nanping Pass and seized the fort, and then soldiers surrounded Chongqing Mansion. The Red Army.

The red-clothed army took the risk of crossing the border from Qutang, and went straight to Chongqing Mansion along the river, which disrupted Qin Liangyu's arrangement almost at once. Pass the letter to the four directions, and each lead their troops down the mountain, wanting to do a big job.

Facing the traces of the red-clothed army, Qin Liangyu felt that she was a little difficult to deal with, especially when the chieftain was about to move, which made her even more tired, and she didn't know whether she should go back to the teacher to rescue her. Her movements were not slow at all, and she urgently ordered the commander of the Qutang Guards to guard against the natural dangers of Qutang, and was ready to repeat the battle to quell the chaos and extravagant Chongming.

Since you dare to break in, then I will hold my pocket tightly and come to catch a turtle in an urn.

Whether it's the thief in red, or Qin Liangyu's white-armed soldiers, they are famous, but these have nothing to do with ordinary people like Qin old man. Now he has become a street mouse in the town, everyone shouts and beats him, and he doesn't bother himself , Hiding at home all day long, I only hope that the government can forget this little guy!

He could only complain about himself every day, toss and turn, and sleepless nights, how innocent he was, how could such a catastrophe fall on his head.

The surplus food left in his family had been forcibly confiscated by the government long ago, and he was scolded by people poking his back every day. At this time, he fell ill, and what made him feel even more chilled was not the villagers in his usual village, but those few villagers. None of the relatives of the Qin family were willing to lend a helping hand to him, and they kept coming to collect debts.

The old man Qin's health is also getting worse day by day. The villagers know that this old guy will not live long, and they only hope that he will die soon. As long as he is still alive, everyone will feel bad.

The Miao soldiers outside the town cut down trees and built a few tents, which were chaotic and irregular.

Nine surnames and eighteen caves, most of them are young seedlings, they can't speak Chinese at all, but they all have a Han surname and first name. Yang Rui is the son of the patriarch, and he led an army alone. He is also one of the most knowledgeable among the Miao people. It is precisely because he has a wide range of knowledge that he does not want to be an enemy of the court at all.

But as the son of the Miao patriarch, he had to bite the bullet and follow his father's ambition. As for the argument of seeking justice for the Miao people, that was nothing but bullshit, not only him, but all the Miao people in their hearts. They all knew that under this guise, they came down the mountain to grab things.

Looking at the clansmen who were discussing a lot, Yang Rui's eyes became more worried. They used to be just hunters and farmers. Although they were strong in physique and brave in temperament, they were not soldiers after all. , In front of any army, it is just a piece of loose sand!

"Hey! Yang Rui sighed heavily. According to the strength of the Red Clothes Army, I'm afraid they won't allow it, and the native officials are robbing them of food!

Recalling his travels in the south, he saw the battle between the red-clothed army and the official army, and he knew what an army is and what is a strong one. It's a big joke!

"Young master, so you are here, come with me, the patriarch is waiting for you to discuss important matters!" A Miao soldier saw Yang Rui who was sitting under a tree in a daze, and pulled him away without saying a word.

In a corner, the tent was set up a little more elaborately, but it was still sewn with sheets, and it had no other effect except to keep out the wind and mosquitoes. After entering the big tent, the light was a little dim, and he had a long time After getting used to it, when he saw the person sitting above him, he hurriedly said: "Father, what are you doing looking for a child?"

The person sitting in the dark place at the top has a horse face, and his appearance is ordinary, but his pair of small eyes are shining brightly, looking at Yang Rui who entered the tent with burning eyes. He said in a persuasive tone: "I heard that you are spreading rumors everywhere, saying that we have no discipline and cannot form an army at all. As for going down the mountain to compete with the Han people, that is even more idiotic, isn't it?"

Although the person in front of him was his father, the scrutiny and questioning tone made Yang Rui feel very uncomfortable, and said in a stammering voice: "I never said these words, but we really shouldn't go down the mountain to fight for the country. Although our life is a bit poorer, it is much better than the Han people at the bottom of the mountain, why should we be greedy, and we will only destroy ourselves for the rest of our lives."

"Hmph! What do you know, nine families and eighteen caves jointly passed on the letter at the same time, you dare not move, and then you will be punished by the mountains of swords and seas of fire, can you bear it?" The horse-faced man's body was sharp, and he said coldly Said.

Yang Rui sneered: "Nine families and eighteen caves, what did they do for our Miao people? They are ignorant and ignorant. A group of patriarchs do not work for the welfare of the people under their clan. Treat them as pigs and sheep, abuse and slaughter at will, and what's even more outrageous is that the patriarch owns the first night of the newlywed bride... These shitty things are ridiculous..."
