The Eight Banners soldier captured by Li Shoucheng was a lame man. He came limping with a cane. When he saw Luo Yaoguo, he threw himself to the ground, kowtowed like pounding garlic, and shouted: "Your Majesty, spare your life, Your Majesty, spare your life..." ..
Luo Yaoguo looked very strange and couldn't help but ask: "Hey, the Eight Banners soldiers are so short of men now that they even have thin men?
The Eight Banners soldier said: "Your Majesty, you don't know. It turns out that the little one is not thin. He lost weight by jumping off a building early this morning..."
"Jump off the building?" Luo Yaoguo looked at the sad-faced Eight Banners soldier and asked, "Why did you jump off the building? Is there something you can't think about?"
"Young man, I have nothing to think about. Today, I was ordered by my superior to ambush a shop on Huangdao Street and kill him with thunder and bird gun... It was a sin to harm the lives of the holy soldiers of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Amen, Amen ………….
This Jin Aduo can also say "Amen", and it seems that he is also a "destined" person. No wonder he was caught by Li Shoucheng
He recited two "curses" from God's family, then glanced at the angel with gauze on his ears with a flattering expression, and said: "If you don't want to provoke a bull devil, come into the shop, the little one and the others None of the five Eight Banners soldiers could defeat him, so they had no choice but to jump off the building to survive. Unexpectedly, they fell and became lame, so they had to crawl to the side and pretend to be dead, but before they could escape, they were caught by the Taiping Army. Wuwu...
It turns out that this guy is Jin A'duo who was scared by Zhu Ba and jumped off the building. Although he escaped from Zhu Ba's clutches by jumping off the building, he did not escape in the end and became a prisoner of the Taiping Army. Speaking of sadness, this Jin A'duo's Tears were streaming down her face. Su Sanniang on the side looked at the coward and said to Li Shoucheng in a complaining tone: "Why did you find such a coward?"
Li Shoucheng smiled bitterly and said: "The deputy general manager didn't know. Most of the captured Eight Banners soldiers had smoky faces. Only this one didn't seem to smoke foreign cigarettes. The other ones I picked are now addicted to cigarettes. They are all over the floor." How can you be a messenger if you are rolling around?"
"Should I be a messenger?" When Jin Aduo heard that he could be a messenger, he immediately stopped crying and said with a wisp of tears, "Your Majesty, my legs and feet are not seriously injured. I can walk with a crutch."
"Then let him do it!" Luo Yaoguo glanced at this fat and fair man and asked with a smile, "What's your name?"
"The little one's name is Jin Aduo."
"Jin Aduo? Isn't this Jin's last name? What is your last name?" Luo Yaoguo asked.
"My surname is...Aisin Gioro..."
"Aixinjueluo? You are still a relative of the emperor!" Luo Yaoguo rolled his eyes.
Jin Aduo immediately panicked: "I, I am Shu Zong... I am Shu Zong! "
"Okay, okay..." Luo Yaoguo waved his hand quickly, "I don't care if you are careless or not, just help me run an errand to see Xiangyin Zuo Jigao."
"Going to... Xiangyin?"
Jin Aduo was stunned and thought to himself: "My legs and feet are inconvenient now. It's not easy to limp to Xiangyin!"
"You don't have to run so far," Luo Yaoguo said with a smile, "That person is probably at the Chao Zongmen. Do you have a pen and paper? I will write a letter to him now. You put up a white flag and take the hard work and send it to Chao Zongmen. .If Zuo Jigao replies, take it back. Don’t worry, you have done something for me, I will not detain you again, and I will definitely set you free."
"yes!"
Jin Aduo answered honestly.
But he thought in his heart: "Am I coming back? Am I stupid? If your grandfather and I leave, the dragon will fly through the sky and the fish will fall into the sea!"
Luo Yaoguo had learned calligraphy since he was a child, and his writing was so-so and not ugly. He just drew one stroke at a time and wrote a letter to Zuo Zongtang. His writing style is not bad, because he has read many ancient books and wrote
The articles that come out can have some ancient meanings, but after all they are still based on vernacular. This style of writing is the same as the style of writing "Anti-Jing".
As for the content of the letter, it is quite simple. It means that the Taiping Angels have heard of Zuo Zongtang for a long time, and know that he is still a commoner and have no relationship with the Manchu Emperor. Therefore, they want to ask him to be an official of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. If Zuo Zongtang is
Zongtang is interested, the Taiping Angel can protect Zuo Zongtang as the prefect of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom! And it is the prefect of Hunan Province, in addition to Changsha, Hengzhou, Chenzhou, and Yongzhou, you can choose from the four prefectures!
If Zuo Zongtang could bring Huang Shijie, Chen Qishu, Jiang Zhongyuan, and Luo Zenan over, Luo Yaoguo would also be willing to protect them as the masters of Hunan.
In addition, regardless of whether Zuo Zongtang was willing to be the prefect of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom or not, Luo Yaoguo hoped to meet him on the white ground of Chao Zongmen Rice Market after the fire to discuss the exchange of prisoners of war for Hong Daquan. In fact, it was impossible to exchange them.
Changing Hong Daquan is not important, what is important is meeting Zuo Zongtang!
After Luo Yaoguo finished writing the letter, he asked Jin Aduo to take it with him and limped to deliver it to Zuo Zongtang.
At this time, Zuo Zongtang had just commanded the regiment training under him to set up defenses at the Chao Zongmen. The Xiangyong soldiers used rice bags brought from the rice market to build a "rice bag breast wall". This breast wall was circular, which was just right.
The Chao Zongmen and the two horse roads leading to the city were enclosed. There were more than a thousand people from Chen Qishu in the Chenzhou camp, three to four hundred people from Zhang Dingxiang in the Daozhou camp, as well as Bai Siwen, Tu Lama, Wen Xiang, Dolong A and San
Four hundred and eight banner soldiers, as well as more than 600 Gansu and Shaanxi green battalion soldiers, are now stationed behind the parapet and on the gate tower of Chaozongmen.
Opposite them, thousands of "red-headed men" (including the Taiping Army and the Tiandihui Rebels) were busy tearing down and demolishing the dilapidated houses near the fire scene to prevent the spread of the fire. "Master Zuo Jigao Zuo, don't shoot, I
This is Jin Aduo... I am from the Eight Banners Shotgun Guard Military Academy from Beijing, and my surname is Aixinjueluo..."
Zuo Zongtang, Chen Qishu, Bai Siwen, Tu Lama, Wen Xiang, and Dolonga were standing "behind the rice bag defense line" under the city gate and looking at the raging fire in front of them when they suddenly heard a voice. It was a Beijing film maker who called himself
What Aixinjueluo! Several people were stunned, and they looked around and saw a lame man wearing an Eight Banners soldier's coat, leaning on a cane, and carrying a white flag, limping along the base of the city wall from the south.
Bei came over.
Because he was wearing the clothes of an Eight Banners soldier, and he was alone and lame, no one on the Qingyao side shot him with shotguns, so he let him get closer. Zuo Zongtang felt a little strange and thought: "This is called
How does Jin Aduo know that I am in Chao Zongmen? I don’t know him either..."
Zuo Zongtang did not know Jin Aduo, but Bai Siwen knew him, and immediately shouted: "Ado, Ado... are you still alive? Did you run away from Changmao?" "No... I'm already lame, how can I run away? It was some kind of peace angel who let me come back to deliver a message to Zuo Jigao of Xiangyin!"
"Xiangyin Zuo Jigao?"
"Mr. Zuo...do you know the hairy pseudo-angel?"
Zuo Zongtang glanced at the talkative Bai Siwen, Dolonga, and Lama Tu, and ignored them at all. Then he wrote to Chen Qi: "Please send someone to help Najin Aduo over." "Cha!"
Chen Qishu responded respectfully and immediately sent two Chenzhou soldiers to help Jin Aduo.
Look at Zuo Zongtang's power and Chen Qishu's attitude towards him... It's as if Zuo Zongtang is the leader of the armies here in Chao Zongmen! But in fact Zuo Zongtang is just a commoner in Xiangyin.
"Hodor, what did that hairy pseudo-angel say to you?"
Zuo Zongtang asked Jin Aduo with a smile, but the three people present, Bai Siwen, Duolonga, and Wenxiang, changed their expressions slightly.
Because Jin Aduo has a yellow belt! And he also has an official status. He is a sixth-grade shotgun guard military academy. Zuo Zongtang is a white clothed civilian. Although he is some kind of chief master and has the title of civil servant, he is still a Han civilian. He should at least be respectfully called Jin How can you call Ado by his first name when he says "Master Jin"?
Can a Han civilian call a sixth-grade shotgun guard with a yellow belt by his first name?
What is this rule?
Jin Aduo didn't think there was anything wrong. He was very grateful to Zuo Zongtang. If he hadn't sent a letter to Zuo Zongtang, his head would have been damaged! "Mr. Zuo, that hairy angel asked me to deliver a letter to you. ..He seems to want to meet you on the white ground after the rice market was burned in Chao Zongmen."
Sending a letter again, meeting again... Do you two know each other without fighting? Bai Siwen, Duolong'a, and Wenxiang were all worried. "Bring the letter to me and let me see it."
Zuo Zongtang stretched out his hand.
Jin Aduo quickly took out the envelope containing Luo Yaoguo's autographed letter and handed it over respectfully.
Zuo Zongtang took the envelope, took out the letter paper, unfolded it, laughed loudly, and said, "Haha, this Angel Luo is quite interesting. He wants to recruit me and make me the prefect of Hunan Province!" "Recruitment?"
"Mr. Anzuo, are you recruiting me?"
"That's ridiculous. Mr. Zuo, you are an official of the imperial court..."
Zuo Zongtang looked back at the man who said he was an official of the imperial court. He was a foreigner wearing the uniform of an upright official. He had a big beard, a high nose, and deep-set eye sockets. He was the chief lama of the Qintian Prison.
This foreign lama did not participate in the Battle of Huangdao Street, but stayed in the Jade Emperor Palace with dozens of other people. Later, a group of Tiandi Hui came to attack, so they ran away together and fled to the Chao Zongmen. Zuo Zongtang heard this What he said was just a gentle smile: "Master Tu, actually I am not an official of the imperial court, I am just a commoner in Xiangyin!"
As soon as he said these words, Bai Siwen, Wen Xiang, and Duolong'a all changed their faces, and even had a chill down their spines. Zuo Zongtang was a commoner from Xiangyin!
