"Kill the clear demon and go to heaven! Kill the clear demon and divide the land! Kill the clear demon and take revenge..."
Zhu Ba was still wearing the bull helmet that Luo Yaoguo had given him personally, holding the red flag hanging on the spear with both hands, and running forward, muttering something. In front of him, there were dozens of other beheaded animals. The buffaloes driven by the Taiping cavalry spread their hooves and ran forward, making a mooing sound.
The buffaloes originally had firecrackers hanging on their tails, but after running for a few miles, the firecrackers had long since exploded. The cavalry driving the buffaloes would throw out a bunch of lit firecrackers from time to time, making a loud crackling sound, which shocked everyone. The bulls that slowed down exclaimed a few times and continued to rush forward with their hooves spread.
On both sides of the road, there were already many soldiers from the Gansu and Shaanxi Green Camps who had lost their weapons and could no longer run away. They were all crying and shouting words such as "Heavenly Soldiers, Spare My Life" and "Grandpa Niu, Spare Your Life". Zhu Ba also Ignoring them, he just moved forward on his own. Someone would catch these chased demons. The mission of Zhu Ba and Li Shixian was to follow the defeated troops of the Gansu and Shaanxi Green Camps to attack the Zodiac Gate!
If the Zodiac Gate is closed, then the thousands and hundreds of Gansu and Shaanxi Green Camps who retreated from Shimapu will be accounted for!
After harvesting these thousands and hundreds of Gansu and Shaanxi green camps, Zhu Ba and Li Shixian's mission will become to occupy the high ground of Cai Gongfen near Tianxin Pavilion.
By capturing this high ground, the Taiping Army would be able to move freely between the south and east of Changsha City, and Qingyao would not be able to sneak out from Liuyang Gate and hit the Taiping Army on the back.
As for the locations of the Zodiac Gate, Jinggong Tomb, and Tianxin Pavilion, Luo Yaoguo had already drawn a map and asked him to remember it firmly. He also gave him many instructions and told him that Tianxin Pavilion, a stone fortress, had a tall tower far away. It looks like a city gate, but don't go there. Your Majesty Tianxin has no city gate, and the city wall is too high and strong to knock down.
To "humble the city" is this chance that the Zodiac Gate has not been closed!...
Changsha City, Taiping Street.
Because of the approaching Taiping Army, a curfew has been announced in Changsha City. At dusk, there are no pedestrians on the streets and alleys. Even the Taiping Street area, the most lawless area in Changsha City, is no exception. There are 80% fewer passers-by. .The originally bustling and bustling streets are now only deserted.
The green battalion soldiers from the Changsha City Guard Camp and the patrol teams composed of Zhuangban native soldiers from the Shanhua County Government came and went in waves on Taiping Street. But Taiping Street is Taiping Street after all!
Although the government has announced a curfew, and the green battalion soldiers and local soldiers from Shanhua County have also been patrolling Taiping Street, most of the shops on Taiping Street are still open for business. The shop doors are only partially closed, and there are no waiters standing in the shops. It's just hawking outside to attract customers. There are still passers-by on the streets, but it's just much less than in the past.
At the corner of Taiping Street near the Jade Emperor's Palace, there is a splendidly decorated restaurant with a signboard of "Chunfeng Deyi Restaurant". The owner is said to be Angkor, one of the nine disciples of Lord Zhu Jiu. There is such a thing With a hard background, of course you are not afraid of any curfew. You just close the doors and windows and deal with the soldiers patrolling outside. Is it considered "like a ban"?
Although the night is already deep now, the lobby of Chunfeng Deyi Building is filled with guests wearing long robes, with big shoulders and round waists, and belts as wide as their hands, with axes and peace knives on their belts... There are dozens of tables, The seats were all full, and there were always as many as two or three hundred people.
However, these guests had obviously finished their food and wine, because on the dozens of square tables, there were only some empty plates, basins, wine bottles, wine bowls and leftover bones. It was only these that had finished eating. No one left, they all sat there quietly, as if waiting for something?
At this moment, at the end of the corridor on the second floor of Chunfengdeyi Building, there was a private room with a closed door, and candles were lit in it. Master Zhu Jiutao and Zhu Jiujiu of Jingchu Zhongyi Main Hall were sitting upright on a square table. Behind the desk...reciting sutras! Naturally, reciting the "Anti-Sutra"!
As the head of the Tiandihui Hall named Zhu, his ultimate goal is of course to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty!
My surname is Zhu!
If you don’t have the idea of ​​rebelling against the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty, what’s your surname Zhu? You don’t need to use your real name if you want to rebel against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty. If you don’t want to rebel against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, you can change your ancestral surname to another one! And the hall master of a Tiandihui surnamed Zhu. When these two identities come together, the probability of triggering the "plot" of rebellion greatly increases.
However, the demise of the Ming Dynasty took so long that even the disciples of the Tiandihui no longer took the rebellion against the Qing Dynasty and the restoration of the Ming Dynasty seriously... It has been "repeating" for two hundred years, and Prince Zhu San has died for more than a hundred years. Come back, if this thing can be done, it will be done soon.
Therefore, although Mr. Zhu Jiu used the surname "Zhu" to get around the world and prospered, and he had climbed to the position of the number one public speaker in Hunan, he still did not dare to say "reverse the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty" There are two big banners with "Prince Zhu San". It's because... I'm not sure about rebellion! Until I read the three volumes of "Anti-Jing"!
After reading three volumes of "Anti-Jing", he finally understood why the Heaven and Earth Society had been engaged in "anti-Qing and restoration of Ming" for so many years and had killed so many Princes Zhu and the Third, but it still failed. And when people worshiped the God Society, they rebelled against it. Such a huge momentum - it turns out that the success of the rebellion has nothing to do with qualifications and experience. It does not mean that someone who has rebelled for a long time will become an expert. The first rebellion will definitely not succeed.
The key to a successful rebellion is that this "sutra" must be correct!
We need to know why we are rebelling, for whom we are rebelling, who should be mobilized to rebel, and what should we use to mobilize them? If these four questions are answered, then the rebellion can be started.
If you answer these four questions incorrectly, then even if it happens, it will probably be destroyed!
In history, Zhu Jiutao rashly rebelled without thinking through these four issues. He first called himself King of Taiping, and then called him Emperor of Chu. His life was on the line. But now, Mr. Zhu Jiu felt that he had understood and would rebel. Now everything was ready, all he needed was to roar!
He finally put down the "Anti-Jing" in his hand and slowly raised his head. Two beams of light suddenly bloomed in his gray and turbid eyes, shooting towards the two distinguished guests sitting opposite him - Jiao Hong and Bo Yong. He said in a deep voice: "I have issued a general order. As soon as the thunder sounds, the 30,000 Tiandihui brothers in Changsha City will rise up and respond to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom!"
Jiao Hong and Bo Yong finally heard the accurate message and both breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiao Hong clasped his fists and said: "Master Jiu, don't worry, the Taiping Angels are messengers from heaven, and they promise you a lot of money... As long as you can raise troops to respond when the Taiping Army attacks the city, when Changsha is captured, you will be the lord of Changsha!" "The lord of Changsha City is the condition Zhu Jiutao made to Luo Yaoguo a few days ago - "Build the city high, accumulate grain extensively, and slowly become king"!
Since his surname is Zhu, he naturally understands this. In history, the reason why people became kings and emperors was because they were not strong enough and wanted to carry the banner. Now that there is a real chance to take over Changsha City, so I will first become the lord of Changsha City, and then use "Divide the Fields" Use the method of "dividing the land" to mobilize the peasants outside Changsha City. When the troops and horses are strong, they will eat the entire Changsha Prefecture.
Bo Yong took out the autographed letter from Nan Wang Feng Yunshan and handed it to Zhu Jiutao with both hands: "Jiuye, this is the autographed letter from the Taiping Angel to you...please take a look at it!" Zhu Jiutao smiled and took it from Bo Yong and handed it to him. He wrote a handwritten letter and nodded with a smile: "Okay, okay, then let's wait."
At this time, Wu San, the owner of Chunfeng Deyi Building, walked in quickly, cupped his hands towards Zhu Jiutao and said, "Master Jiu, the Eight Banners soldiers stationed in the Jade Emperor's Palace have been dispatched!"
Zhu Jiutao winked at a white paper fan next to him, and saw this man stand up, walk to a closed window, and suddenly push the window open, and the noisy sound rushed in...
Mr. Zhu Jiu burst out laughing, walked to the window, looked at the flickering fire outside, and suddenly became inspired by poetry: "When the flowers bloom, I don't bloom. If they bloom, they will scare me to death. I want to fight the west wind, and it will spread all over my body." Wear golden armor!"
"I've figured it out, I won't go to Beijing, I want to rebel..."
"Sir, keep your voice down, keep your voice down...this is the governor's office!"
"What's wrong with the governor's office? There are no rebels allowed in the governor's office? That Huang Shijie is a rebel... Zuo Zongtang is so close to him, he must be a rebel too!" "Sir, you are drunk!"
"I'm not drunk! I'm not drunk... I'm sober! This Qing Dynasty must be over, it's going to be over... I, I won't go to Beijing. If I go to Beijing, I have to ask a dog slave like you to give up my wealth. Squeeze it dry, and then you have to go to the market and get stabbed!" "No, no..."
In a corner of the Hunan Governor's Yamen, in an inconspicuous hut, Wang Kuiyi, who was about to be "locked into Beijing", was going crazy with alcohol, shouting in the Governor's Yamen that he wanted to rebel! This would make his "family member" Zhang Zhongqing So anxious!
His mission is to lure Wang Kuiyi back to Beijing and send him to the prison of the Ministry of Punishments, and then try every means to drain him of his wealth bit by bit. It is best to force him to borrow money from everywhere and use the money to fill the "renting an official position" Of course, Wang Kuiyi could not escape the blunt knife used to decapitate people at Caishikou...
But the problem is, this guy has gone crazy now, shouting for rebellion in the governor's office! If this is heard by the governor's soldiers, how can it be okay?
When Zhang Zhongqing was anxious, Wang Kuiyi stood up unsteadily and walked towards the door. "Sir, where are you going?" Zhang Zhongqing asked hurriedly.
"I'm going to rebel!" Wang Kui clenched his fist, raised it high, glared, and said drunkenly, "The Taiping Army will come in soon, I'm going to be a Taiping Army! I'm going to be a Taiping Army If I don’t repay Prince Dun’s debt to the King of Hell, no one will be able to take me to the capital, and Xianfeng won’t be able to hand me over to the Ministry for discussion! Hahaha.”
This... really makes sense!
If Wang Kui surrendered to the Taiping Army, Xianfeng and his brother would not be able to ask the Taiping Army for debts! Of course, there would be nothing to bring to Beijing and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for negotiation...
Wang Kuiyi wanted to rebel, but Zhang Zhongqing was still loyal. He would never let Wang Kuiyi run out, otherwise he would not be able to explain to the palace! When he saw Wang Kuiyi about to run, he rushed to the door with his arms stretched out. He stretched out his arms to stop him and shouted: "Sir, you can't leave, and you can't turn back..."
Wang Kuiyi was also drunk and cowardly. He actually pulled out a sharp dagger from his arms and without saying a word, stabbed Zhang Zhongqing in the chest. This non-staff slave with the special name "Zhongqing" felt something coming from his chest. I was in severe pain and wanted to call for help, but when I opened my mouth, no sound came out.
At this time, Wang Kui came up with a ferocious face. He stared at the dying man with bloodshot eyes and said word by word: "This dagger was secretly left to me by Huang Shijie when he left Changsha." .He asked me to use it to commit suicide, so as not to be humiliated by you Manchurian slaves. But I, I don’t want to die, let alone die after being humiliated. So I will use it to kill you, and then I will rebel! "
In Zhang Zhongqing's mind, there was only one desperate thought: "It's all over. The man named Wang rebelled in order to pay his debt. His debt will fall on my family, and my family will be destroyed..."
Chapter completed!
