Begging in late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 392 Who is loyal and who is traitor?

Almost all the troops of the Second Gezuo Division are here to watch the concert. There is also a brigade of Li Dingguo’s Dai Second Division outside the mountain gate. If you always come back to bring the soldiers, you will definitely be notified in advance. 100 of you dare to enter Luoyang to kidnap King Fu , Song Qingshu is not afraid of a small headquarters.

But be careful, there is no big mistake, humming and nodding, Song Qingshu did not bring his own bodyguards this time, but waved to twenty special forces from the Whirlwind Army to follow him as bodyguards, Ge Liyan did not bring a single soldier , and Lin Chengcheng led the way, and quietly left the performance site.

At this time, the first song on the stage was just sung, and the next song "Tornado" was supposed to be sung by Yu'er, the lead singer, and accompanied by other dancers. The singing was given over to Yuan'er, and Yu'er took the curtain call first and went to the backstage to drink her saliva.

For the golden voices under his command, Song Qingshu is dedicated enough. Even on the mountain, he prepared aloe vera tea for them to moisten their voices, dragged their dance clothes and rushed to the back, picked up the teapot and poured a cup in a hurry , Yu'er raised her head and drank half of it down, but at this time, the door of the changing room was slammed open, and with a sip, all the tea that Yu'er didn't swallow was sprayed on the man.

"You, who are you talking about? Let me tell you that I am a handsome righteous daughter. If you dare to touch me, I will kill you!"

It’s true that once bitten by a snake for ten years, I was afraid of the well rope, and I didn’t know whether to load the bullets. The revolver Song Qingshu gave was crooked. Yu’er held the gun and said tremblingly. The frightened Hei boy who barged in quickly waved his hands.

"Miss Yu'er, I've seen you before! Yesterday, we also sang a song together!"

After saying this, Yu'er rang out, the black kid who was thrown offstage to accept envy and jealousy, but she didn't let down her vigilance, and still asked stiffly: "What are you doing here?"

"Miss!" Song Yongzhong was as anxious as an ant on a pot lid at this time, patting his thigh anxiously: "Something has happened! Please take me to the commander immediately, hurry up!"

…………

At this time, Song Qingshu had already led the Xuanfeng Army into the division headquarters of the Second Gezuo Division, the small two-story building, followed Ge Liyan through the central staircase, and stopped when he reached the office at the farthest end of the corridor. The room was not big, Song Qingshu waved his hand directly, two people followed him in, and the rest stood at the door of the building on duty.

Ge Liyan opened the door first and led the way in. Song Qingshu followed behind. Just as he entered, the door was locked with a click. His eyelids twitched involuntarily. Song Qingshu went straight inside and sat on the sofa.

There is really no need to worry here, the small room is only about ten square meters, a typical reception room, three sofas and a coffee table, there are windows on both sides, a sketched portrait of myself hangs on the wall, and the rest are a few potted plants, not to mention ambushes, Even the old king next door couldn't hide.

Ma Shouying, the old man, has also arrived long ago. Not to mention, his navy blue is somewhat similar to the general uniform of the Napoleon era, and his appearance with Central Asian characteristics makes him feel like a commander in a movie. It's a pity that the old man Huihui was obviously a little restless, without that calm aura.

Next to him, there was a middle-aged man who was wearing the most common and inferior homespun gown made in Dai County, and a melon skin hat. His old face seemed to have been drunk too much, and was blown by the wind and frost like an old orange peel.

"Meet the Master!"

The situation is stronger than others. Seeing Song Qingshu come in, the old Huihui no longer has the arrogance of being a self-contained camp. He stood up and bowed very respectfully, followed by the middle-aged man and hurriedly stood up and bowed. Watching the man Song Qingshu choose Frowning, he asked casually.

"Ma Shishuai invited me to come, so he must have found a good cook for me to have a look at?"

"The handsome is joking!"

This cold joke wasn't funny at all, and Huihui forced a smile that was uglier than crying, but the orange-skinned face was quite calm, and he clasped his fists at Song Qingshu.

"I am the envoy of Chuangjun."

"Heh, didn't Li Chuangwang say that Lao Tzu betrayed his promise and was willing to be a dog of the imperial court, and that if he was caught, he would be punished? Why did he have the heart to send an envoy to me?"

Song Qingshu opened his mouth to sarcasm indifferently, but at the same time, he stretched out his hand to touch the revolver on his waist in a wary manner, always showing Li Zicheng's person as himself, either because he had something to do or he was Li Zicheng. What kind of negotiating trump card did Chuang hold in his hand? In short, he didn't want to capsize the gutter.

Who knew that the old man with orange peel couldn't help showing a wry smile.

"Marshal misunderstood, I am not under the command of Chuang Wang, I am under the command of Li Wanqing, the leader of Chuang Tatian, the Chinese army general Bai Sandao, I am here to pay a visit to the commander!"

Hearing this, Song Qingshu stood up in astonishment, and carefully guarded for a long time, but this army was not that army, and it was because the peasant army's orders were too complicated, which caused such an oolong, but Song Qingshu still did not let go of his guard, and the same How did Gao Jie, who had defected to the court from the rebel army, die? He was trapped and killed by his own people during the review of the troops. Who knows if it was the smoke bomb that Lao Hui found out that the incident was exposed.

"Brother Li Wanqing sent you to see me, what's the matter?" Full of doubts, Song Qingshu asked casually again.

"Back to Commander, my family, Li Shuai, has also come to his senses recently. He deeply feels that he has betrayed the court and killed officials to rebel. Under the persuasion of the old lady Li, he wants to surrender to the court and accept the offer. There is no reason to be close, I hope that Song Shuai can give my family a hand, Song Shuai's kindness, my family Li Shuai will never forget it!"

Saying that, Bai Sandao made another big bow.

"Commander, Chuang Tatian really wants to surrender this time, not like Huang He's false surrender. For this reason, Chuang Tatian handed over his army book, and he has been here for half a year. If the commander agrees , can help mediate a general, follow the example of Ge Zuo, he is willing to lead the army, and [-] soldiers and horses will be reorganized by the general!"

They are all old people from the 36th Battalion of the People's Revolutionary Army, and Lao Huihui is also helping to beat the side drums, speaking sincerely, while Ge Liyan on the other end is not very good at talking, so he simply nodded along, seeing that the expressions of the two were not the same Fake, more than half of Song Qingshu's suspicions have dissipated again.

In the 11th year of Chongzhen, the imperial court dealt an unprecedented blow to the people's mutiny. For example, Zhang Xianzhong, Luo Rucai and other Daqu commanders all surrendered one after another. During the Chinese New Year, the Eight Banners of Manchu and Qing invaded massively, and the bandit suppression army was transferred to King Qin of the capital, and no one watched and rebelled immediately.

I remember watching "History of the Late Ming Dynasty" before, Li Wanqing finally helped Wang Qiaonian defend Xiangcheng, refused to surrender, and was finally killed.

And this reasoning also makes sense, after all, I have taken refuge in the imperial court, and I am the best one. Everyone is recruiting, so it is reasonable to ask myself for help. There must be, recalling the scene of dealing with Li Wanqing before and some things in Li Wanqing's camp, Song Qingshu opened his mouth to ask again.

"By the way, how is Li Shuai's lion pony doing? This handsome remembers that when I gave him off, he was still a young pony!"

Although he didn't understand why Song Qingshu suddenly changed the topic, Bai Sandao still replied suspiciously: "You must have misremembered, Commander! What you gave to my Li Shuai is a bay red colt, and it has grown up. It’s a good horse, and my commander still uses it as a mount, and it’s well-raised.”

"Oh? Heh, maybe I remembered it wrong. Last time in Xingyang, there were too many concubines, and the commander gave me a lot of horses. Your envoy laughed at me."

"Marshal, you remember it wrong again..., my Li Shuai is a dutiful son, and the old lady doesn't want him to mess with women, so apart from the monogamous and three concubines from his hometown, Li Shuai has never begged for anyone like his wife. .”

These two matters are Li Wanqing's private matters, and Bai Sandao can answer them fluently, so it doesn't seem to be a fake. Regarding this, Song Qingshu relaxed more than half, and said with a smile.

"The position of a general is easy to get, but don't even think about the military salary. I have been serving as the commander-in-chief of the Huaihe River for three years, and the military salary of the imperial court is no more than 10 taels. One hundred and eighty thousand taels, if Chief Li wants to recruit security, I suggest that Li Shuai also allocate a piece of land in Huguang, and only need to farm the fields to raise soldiers. I will try my best to mediate for Li Shuai in this matter!"

"So, thank you Song Shuai!"

It's true that I've been wandering here for some time in Lao Hui, and the cost of breaking the sky is not much, and I was afraid that Song Qingshu would not help, or make some harsh demands, but I didn't expect Song Qingshu to be so easy to talk, Bai Sandao immediately bowed down with a big gift in excitement.

On the contrary, Hui Hui and Ge Liyan were a little depressed.

Seeing that Song Qingshu organized his own team, they thought that Song Qingshu was willing to expand his strength. Li Wanqing could pick and choose from 3 people, but he could make do with [-]. The elite troops of the two divisions, the three of them struggled to talk and keep fighting. I wrote a letter to persuade Li Wanqing who was still hesitating, thinking that this was a great achievement, but listening to Song Qingshu's intentions, he did not intend to incorporate Li Wanqing into the army.

Then the three of them have been busy for half a year in vain.

After all, my family is weak, and it would be a good thing to have more Olympic aid. The matter is settled, regardless of the depressed old Huihui, Song Qingshu smiled and waved to Bai Sandao.

"Old Bai is a guest from afar, Ma Shishuai, you are really, don't tell me earlier, this is just right, my handsome and righteous daughter brought musicians to reward the army for a performance, Lao Bai followed me to listen to it, how?"

"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief. It just so happened that Li Shuai ordered the younger one to bring some jewelry and jade. The Commander-in-Chief's righteous daughter must be a beautiful woman. Mingyu matches a beautiful woman, just right!" Of course, you can't scan Song Qing's book, this Bai Sandao knows it well He flipped through the gifts in his arms affectionately, but just after flipping through them twice, he suddenly slapped his head again in a daze.

"By the way, Shuai Song, before the villain set off, King Chuang Li Zicheng once sent an envoy to contact my commander-in-chief, asking my commander-in-chief to belong to him. That mouth is really good, I heard that it is Mr. Li from Qi County, who failed to lobby my commander in chief, and is coming east again, I hope the commander in chief will be more careful!"

"Li Yan!"

Song Qingshu, who turned around and was about to go outside, couldn't help trembling violently when he heard this, and screamed out loudly, his face quickly darkened, but before he could give an order in a hurry, the door was suddenly slammed Open, but Li Dingguo broke in with great excitement.

"Commander, Commander Red has already marched towards Mantou Mountain. We can take down the traitors and return to them immediately. What can we do on behalf of the Second Division? Uh..., this..."

Seeing Song Qingshu and Lao Huihui, Ge Li's eyes were harmonious, and he didn't look like he had ever made a move. Li Dingguo was a little dazed again. However, at this moment, a change happened, and the few frontier troops who followed unexpectedly violently He quickly pulled out the gun from his waist and pointed it at several people in the house.

In an instant, Song Qingshu's face became extremely rigid...
