Chapter 281 Prince Gong reads "Anti-Jing" (please vote, please subscribe)
The horns of the punting boats sounded one after another, loud and long, and the long poles pushed several colorful official boats to meander southward, stirring up white waves on the canal waterway from Huai'an to Yangzhou, and Fuyuan Grand The general's banner is fluttering in the midsummer wind.
The green fields on both sides of the canal are picturesque.
After Prince Gong was awarded the seal of Bai Hongdao and General Fuyuan, he did not stay in Beijing for a long time, nor did he mobilize many powerful Beijing banner troops. He only looked for Seng Gelinqin who was training in the suburbs of Beijing and borrowed a group of Mongolian cavalry from him. , together with Guiliang, Shengbao, Wenxiang, Jin Aduo, and Hong Daquan, they quickly set off on the road with hundreds of guards and servants from Prince Gong's Palace, and headed straight for Yangzhou where the Jiangbei Camp was located.
Reinforcement is like putting out fire. In Shanghai, there is still a demon who wants to fight for his grace and innocence to be eradicated!
Prince Gong was sitting in the official cabin at this time, flipping through a thread-bound book spread out on the table, and waiting for his royal master Hong Daquan to tell fortunes with his fingers.
Speaking of which, after Hong Daquan, an expert, voted for Prince Gong, he really tried his best to cheat in order to repay the favor of knowing and saving his life. He has been helping Prince Gong tell fortunes along the way, but the calculations kept getting better and better. Confused meaning, obviously his magic power is insufficient!
At this moment, he was calculating and murmuring in a low voice: "It's a good thing that the emperor has granted marriage to the concubine's sister. He should have arrived in Yangzhou! There are Master Zeng and Master Zuo's Hunan Army, even if he brings a few It should be difficult for hundreds of guards to escape! But why can’t I calculate Luo Xueyan’s death date?”
After hearing Hong Daquan's words, Prince Gong gradually frowned: "Daquan, we are almost arriving in Yangzhou, why don't you figure out how Luo will die? Could it be that this demon has too much magic power and is relying on Lama Tu? The holy bomb you invented can’t kill him, right?”
The Ministry of Internal Affairs' business of making holy bombs did not end with the march of the Demon-Conquering Camp southward - in order to blow up the monster Luo Yaoguo, Xianfeng allocated a large sum of money to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and set up a special bomb department to make holy bombs. Woolen cloth!
So this time Prince Gong went south to conquer the demons and brought two thousand holy bombs with him. Unfortunately, the Tupolev Yang Lama returned to the Rakshasa Kingdom to invite the powerful. If he had arranged it himself, he would have had a greater chance of winning.
Hong Daquan looked gloomy and said after a long time: "Your Majesty, the problem is probably not how high the demon's magic power is. If my calculation is correct, the demon can no longer perform any magic to fly into the sky and escape from the earth. It can only predict the future and confuse people's hearts. He can still use some of his magical powers. The first reason for his humble position is that he is worried that the prince's plan will be discovered by him. Unless he comes to Yangzhou, it will naturally be difficult to eradicate it; the second reason is that he is worried."
He looked around.
In the cabin, in addition to him and Prince Gong, there were Guiliang, Shengbao, and Wenxiang, all of whom were Prince Gong's confidants.
Seeing that there were no outsiders, Hong Daquan lowered his voice and said: "Secondly, I am worried about Master Zeng. Master Zuo may not be willing to eradicate Luo Xueyan!"
"What are you talking about?" Guiliang glared at Hong Daquan, "Master Zeng Jia is my disciple of the Eight Banners. Although Master Zuo did not raise the flag, he is still loyal to the imperial court!"
Prince Gong raised his gaze and looked at Shengbao, only to find that the latter was frowning in deep thought.
"Kezhai, what do you think?"
"I'm afraid neither Zeng Disheng nor Zuo Jigao can be called loyal ministers. Zuo Jigao had contacts with Luo Yaoguo during the Battle of Changsha. Although Luo Xueyan's recommendation was done in the name of Luo Ruzhai, it was definitely Zuo Jigao who actually handled it.
high!
As for Zeng Disheng, the fake Zeng Disheng that the slave and Sushun met in Changsha City is most likely one of his compatriots. Zeng Disheng's hometown was once broken by the long-haired Xiao Chaogui! Maybe one of his brothers was trapped in a thief at that time
Hands on!"
Shengbao clearly remembered that he had seen "Zeng Guofan" in "Confucius clothes" in Changsha, and heard the man read "A Call to Plunder the Captives to Promote Confucianism". Later, Seng Gelinqin resolutely suppressed the matter, but Shengbao
Bao and Sushun discussed this in private. In the end, they both believed that "Zeng Guofan" was not real, but was probably a brother of Zeng Guofan.
Most of them were captured when Changmao attacked Zeng Guofan's hometown and then surrendered!
But the matter was so big that Shengbao and Sushun did not dare to report it, for fear that it would backfire and force Zeng Guofan to rebel. In addition, Zeng Guofan later invited himself to carry the flag, and even sent his father Zeng Linshu to Beijing, which was considered a sign of expression.
They were so loyal that neither Shengbao nor Sushun reported it to their superiors.
However, today Shengbao heard the trick from Hong Daquan, an expert, and couldn't help but mention the matter to Prince Gong.
When Prince Gong heard Shengbao mention this, he narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a smile:
"There is no one who is loyal or unfaithful nowadays. When they reach their position, they can't help it. As soon as their eyelids open, there are brothers in twenty or thirty battalions who want food, drink, military pay, land and a future. Who now
Whoever can give them military pay, land, and official positions is their master! Fortunately, the emperor is obedient and listens to my words and counts the fertile fields outside the pass.
Qianli whetted the appetites of the group training leaders by giving them real rewards, and then gave away their official certificates as if they were free of charge. He also allowed them to burn, kill, loot, and seize people all over Hunan and Hubei to work as slaves outside the customs. Such benefits are long-lasting.
Can Luo Yaoguo give it? Not to mention that the brother in Changsha City may not be Zeng Disheng, even if it is Zeng Disheng's brother, so what?"
He smiled coldly and said in a faint voice: "If Luo Xueyan was not transformed by Luo Yaoguo, just based on the benefits the emperor gave him, even if he had been in the world and had been a long hair, he would have been attracted to the Qing Dynasty! Because the Qing Dynasty
The benefits that can be given to him, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, which divides fields and divides land, will never be able to give him. This is not what I say, but what Luo Yaoguo himself said in the "Anti-Jing"!"
After that, he closed the thread-bound book on the table, and it turned out to be Volume 1 of "Anti-Jing", "Common People's Rebellion"!
Prince Gong smiled slightly and pointed to the "Anti-Jing" in front of him: ""Anti-Jing" is really a wonderful book! It explains the path of rebellion very clearly, and it also analyzes the current end of the world very thoroughly! But these three volumes of "Anti-Jing"
"Sutra" are contradictory to each other. "Anti-
Volume 1 of "Jing" and Volume 2 and 3 of "Anti-Jing" are opposite. Volume 1 is about the hungry and cold people at the bottom who want to rebel, while Volume 2 and Volume 3 are about how after the people rebelled, the middle and upper class gentry and officials fought for
To maximize your own interests, you must support your troops and respect yourself!
The common people at the bottom will starve to death, but the purpose of the middle- and upper-class gentry and officials' self-respect is not to distribute their land and wealth. It is to seize more land and wealth. Although everyone must oppose , but the goals are different. As for me, Daqing and Changmao, we can only choose one goal, not both. This is impossible.
And since Changmao chose the path of volume one of "Anti-Jing", then they and Zeng Disheng, Zuo Jigao and others who chose volumes two and three of "Anti-Jing" can only be enemies! Even if Zeng, Zuo and others are not willing If they are enemies of Changmao, their subordinates will also support them to become enemies of Changmao. This is for their own benefit!
To say one thousand and to say ten thousand means that there are too many people in the world and the land is too narrow. The land has exhausted its power. This is the origin of the end of the world!"
The sky is bright, the morning glow is rising on the horizon, and the land of undulating mountains is full of life. Countless men and women tied with ropes along an official road heading north are being escorted by Xiang Yong carrying spears and shotguns on his shoulders. As they meandered north, the dirty and thin faces only had expressions of pain and numbness.
A man with triangular eyes, hanging eyebrows, high cheekbones, a thin figure, wearing a black coat, and a high-ranking official with a second-grade crown, was riding a horse, standing at a crossroads, looking at the team heading north with cold eyes. .
The short, fat official next to him, wearing a third-grade turban and a linen coat, had an unbearable look on his face.
The second-grade official took a look at the faces of the people around him, smiled slightly, and pointed to the team going north: "Ji Gao, at least they can live and have a chance to live. It's thanks to the kindness of the Holy One who gave us and so on. There is a vast wasteland outside the customs!"
"well"
Zuo Zongtang sighed: "How long can you survive if you go to open up wasteland in the bitter cold outside the Pass?"
Zeng Guofan laughed and said, "Has Ji Gao read through three volumes of Anti-Jing in these days?"
Zuo Zongtang nodded: "I have read it a long time ago."
"How?" Zeng Guofan asked softly.
Zuo Zongtang was silent for a moment and sighed: "There are too many people in the world, too little land, and not enough land to support the people, so the world is in chaos, and it is really the end of the world."
Zeng Guofan glanced at Zuo Zongtang and said with a wry smile: "Now that you know everything, what's the point of hesitating? Come east with me, a man who is a murderer in troubled times!"
After saying that, he turned his horse around and galloped eastward.
On the official road to the east, Xiang Yong from the brigade was marching in formation, mighty and mighty!
Chapter completed!
