Chapter 88: Wan Minbian
He really didn't want to see his own people fighting each other again. Tang Liang adjusted his inner breath and shouted, "Listen, brothers under the city, the King of Han is in the city at this time, Jiao Jing has betrayed the Qing Dynasty. Don't continue to be obsessed with it, retreat to Jingdezhen quickly!"
Zhong Lin looked at someone on the city wall with a puzzled look and explained with a embarrassed smile: "This is disturbing the morale of the traitors, don't take it seriously!"
"Whoever gives us money will work for, no matter whether you are an official army or a thief?"
"Yes... we will fight for whoever gives the money!"
There were sparse sounds of conjunction on the city wall, and there was no interest in whether Li Yunzhong was in the city.
Seeing that the two of them were indifferent, Jiao Jing drew out the big sword and threatened: "Do you attack or not? If you delay any longer, don't blame me for being ruthless under the knife."
Wang Jinwei also knew that there was no way back. If the reinforcements from the King of Han arrived, they would be dead. He said in a stimulating manner: "Are the two generals afraid that you will be suspicious and dare not attack if you just fire a flag in the city? They said that Emperor Xianfeng was inside, so do you believe it?"
Although the shouts on the city wall came clearly, Zhou Peichun and Ge Yaoming looked at Jiao Jing and looked at the city wall again, thinking that what Lord Wang said made sense, and said, "Two Lords, please retreat for the time being, we will attack the city immediately!"
Wang Jinwei pulled Jiao Jing, who was about to threaten them, and returned to the back formation together.
Ge Yaoming asked in a low voice: "What should Brother Zhou do now? Should I attack the city? I would rather believe that there is anything than not. If the King of Han is really in the city, we will never be able to redeem it! Why not attack the city like yesterday? "
"This is a safe way to avoid attacking the city to death, but causing a big disaster. The messenger sent should have arrived at Governor Jiao and will be back tomorrow. The Qing army around him will not be able to protect himself. Moreover, Jiang Zhongyuan is not in Nanchang City, how could he be in a small county like Poyang County? I heard that he is attacking Zhejiang and will not appear here. I guess Jiao Jing must have a problem!" Zhou Peichun's near disappeared and began to carefully analyze the current situation.
"Brother Zhong, please put a rope. I want to go down and persuade them. This kind of killing each other is harmful to our Han army. I hope they can return to the wrong way!" Tang Liang saw the rebels below reorganizing the team again, and thought of a whimsical way.
Under the city of Hangzhou, Zhong Lin saw Tang Liang jumping up the city wall with his own eyes, killing Qing soldiers, and finally making a contribution to conquering Hangzhou. Now he is the instructor of their foreign gun team. He doesn't want him to take risks and advises: "Instructor think twice, even if the rebels under the city attack the city, I believe that Poyang County will be as stable as Mount Tai. If the general goes down and is killed by them, it will be difficult for the last general to explain to the King of Han. Besides, what the general shouted just now, the rebels under the city have heard it. Since they do not repent and continue to attack the city, it proves that they do not believe that the King of Han is in Poyang County, or they have been bribed by Jiao Jing. If they want to break through Poyang and plot against His Highness the King of Han, the instructor will still protect His Highness at a critical moment, and do not take any risk easily!"
Tang Liang looked at Zhong Lin who was talking, and held his hands behind his back with one hand, nodded and smiled. The Han Dynasty was full of talents, and any small team leader who commanded a hundred people had such a vision and talent. His Highness just now saw that he was orderly commanding soldiers to defend the city. It seemed that this person's future was limitless.
"Brother Zhong said it is reasonable. The safety of King Han is the most important thing. Now let's go back to protect King Han. Brother Zhong takes care of him."
Zhong Lin sent Tang Liang away, turned his attention to the rebels under the city, analyzing their every move.
Zhou Di and Li Guoli led a group of gentry to the front, and the servants behind were carrying a plaque covered with red cloth, and followed the people watching the fun, and a group of people walked towards the county government in a mighty manner.
It turned out that yesterday, the gentry of Poyang County, led by the county magistrate Hu Kuan, climbed up to the city wall to reward the defenders. Seeing the dense figures of people under the city, they were extremely shocked. They all felt that the thousands of people in the city could not defend Poyang. They went home in a daze and arranged their funerals, waiting for the moment when the city was broken.
Who would have thought that the thief attacked the city for one day and was killed by the defenders? After Li Guoli and his friends discussed that in order to make Li Yunzhong work harder to defend the city, they came up with the idea of giving away Wan Minbian.
Hu Kuan heard the gongs and drums outside, and thought that someone was holding a wedding ceremony, so he didn't care. When he heard the master report the truth, he hurriedly came out to greet him with a smile.
"My fellow villagers, what do you mean? I, Hu, have no merits and virtues, how can I receive this great gift? You should carry it back. It will not be too late to send it off until the rebels are repelled!" Hu Kuan wanted to refuse and welcome it. This is the rule in the officialdom. You must refuse several times before you accept it. As long as you have this Wanmin, Shangguan will be a great achievement when he inspected.
What the hell is Hu County Magistrate? We didn’t say that Wan Minbian was given to you!
Li Guoli smiled and said, "Can General Li be in the county government office? On behalf of the people of the whole city, I come to thank General Li for his generous help. Without General Li, our Poyang County had long been transformed into a ruin. General Li is our reborn parents! Please also ask the magistrate to ask General Li to come out and receive the gift!"
Hu Kuan blushed and secretly scolded the gentry for being ignorant of being polite. He had just been blackmailed by guerrillas, and now he shamelessly gave tens of thousands of people to beat him! I, Hu, is an honest official and loyal official, and I have never seen anything you have ever given me? It's really a bunch of ** bones.
"Everyone, please wait for a moment. Mr. Hu will ask the general to come out and receive the gift."
Li Yunzhong had long heard the movement outside and thought that someone had died. He died of old age in his hometown, so he treated it as a wedding event and played drums. Later, he heard that they were parked at the county government gate and felt something was wrong, so he took Tang Liang out to investigate.
"Don't bother the magistrate. I heard they want to give me a gift? Where is the gift?"
Zhou Di stepped forward and pointed to the plaque and said, "General, save the people of the whole city from the fire and water. We are also expressing our feelings. Please accept it with a smile!"
"Please accept it with a smile, General!" The squire all agreed.
Li Yunzhong was not interested in these vulgar ones, so he stepped forward and lifted the red cloth, and saw four big words written on it: Benefit the people.
"Haha... Li is ashamed of it, but since it is your wish, I will accept it."
Li Guoli took back his persuasion and had a new view of this domineering general for the first time. General Li is not careful and decisive in his behavior. What is rare is that he can deal with rebels and has a bright future. Why don’t I make good friends with him? I can have a support in the future. A hundred thousand taels of silver can be earned several times.
"General Li is an honest official and loyal service to the country. We have always admired him. General Li is relieved. When the thief retreats, we will definitely recommend the general to the court."
