"Dangdang!" A sound of gongs rang out. Li Mingchang, who had been curled up at the city of Guangzhou for a night, opened his eyes, raised the two-meter-long musket in his arms with his numb fingers, and said in a dream: "Father, has Changmao attacked the city?"

====

Only 1,000 taels of silver can participate in the Green Camp to serve the country?

To be honest, the young and energetic Li Mingchang didn't believe what his uncle said at all, and he just wanted to take revenge.

How to take revenge?

The young man who said that Mr. Xin Shuo Shu can only go to battle and kill the enemy.

However, this young man with a broken family was a great blessing to escape from Fogang alive. He had nothing but his life, and was as empty as a waste. How could he have such a large sum of money to buy the Qing officials and let him join the army? Therefore, his uncle's threat was very effective. Master Zhou did not give him any activities and could not pay for him. He could only Pan Heng could not go anywhere in the Zhou Mansion.

But the situation developed beyond Li Mingchang's imagination, although it was similar to what those veterans in the world expected.

A month after coming to Guangzhou, Foshan Tiandi will rebel!

On June 11, 1853, Chen Kai and Liu Duchuan, under the call of Zhu Qingzheng, general under Zhao Kuo, rebelled against the Qing Dynasty, claiming to be the Sun and Moon Corps under the Taiping Army. Zhu Qingzheng claimed to be the commander of the military, and Chen Kai took off his hair and changed his clothes to call himself the military advisor, also known as the Marquis of Weiyang.

On June 12, the official army was expelled and occupied Foshan (actually the officers and soldiers ran away by themselves). At first, only a few hundred people were the backbone of the Tiandihui Association, but half a month later, the number of people participating in the Sun and Moon Army reached 100,000!

He Liu started first, Chen Kai started later, and the heaven and earth associations near Foshan in Guangzhou responded to Chen Kai, "He Zihai, Zhu Ziyi, Dou Pichun, Li Wenmao and others gathered tens of thousands of people to respond."

At that time, 40,000 handicraftsmen, thousands of troupe disciples, as well as 9,000 fishermen and water transport workers on board in Foshan. It is conceivable how the tyranny of the Qing Dynasty was.

These rebels from the world echoed the Taiping Army led by Zhao Kuo, and immediately threw Guangzhou into three encirclements.

Soon, the Taiping Army and the Sun and Moon Army launched an attack on Guangzhou in three groups.

Zhao Kuo led the Taiping Army's main force and 30,000 auxiliary troops (known as 100,000) to attack the East Road from the Dongguan base, and Zhu Qingzheng led the uprising army with 50,000 (known as 100,000) to attack the North Road and the West Road with Foshan as the base. Guan Ju and He Bo led the Sun and Moon Army Navy around the Provincial River to block the waterway.

The Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi was ignorant of the east, south, west and north. These new friends were scholars. They hated the rebels very much and bit peanuts every day. They treated peanuts as Zhao Kuo's head. As soon as a few people planned to sign their names on the recruitment office that day, they were preparing to join the army to help. Li Mingchang read another farewell letter that he wanted to sacrifice his life for the country and threw away his pen. He stood up, walked to the bed and pulled Wan'er up, then ignored the stunned maid, leaned into the tent, found something under the pillow, and turned around and wrapped his hands around Wan'er's neck.

"Young master, don't do this." Wan'er dodged in horror.

"Don't move!" Li Mingchang roared, and the person in his arms suddenly stopped moving.

But Li Mingchang did not act rudely afterwards. He put a bunch of things around Wan'er's neck, then let go of the person in his arms, and sat down on the bed dejectedly.

"Is this?" Wan'er raised the thing in her neck in surprise and was shocked. It was a string of gold necklace with a large pearl inlaid at the bottom.

"My mother loves to wear a necklace. Anyway, there is no confidant in this house. I know you don't know Cantonese, so I tell you my truth! I'm going to join the army and challenge you, this necklace is for you. If I die, maybe there is someone who remembers me because of this necklace." Li Mingchang sighed.

Wan'er was stunned for a moment and suddenly cried. She knelt down under the bed, hugged Li Mingchang's waist, and sobbed: "Young master, I can actually understand a little Cantonese now. I know what you are talking about! Don't go to join the army, okay? I don't want someone as good as you to die."

"What? Can you understand me?" Li Mingchang's body shook electric shock. He looked at Wan'er who was kneeling on the ground, slowly touched her tender chin, raised the face of pear blossoms with rain, and smiled helplessly: "I'm not good to you. How many times have I broken the teacup you sent? It's time to serve the country and achieve success. You, a woman, don't understand it."

"No, young master. I don't want you to die." Wan'er hugged the young master tightly and cried bitterly.

Li Mingchang closed his eyes and sighed, touched his back with trembling hands, and suddenly shouted: "Men and women don't kiss you! What are you like! Wear my necklace and give it to me immediately... Get out! Get out! Get out!"

Surprised Wan'er let go of her hand in a daze. Looking at the young master who had changed color, she hesitated for a moment, stood up and ran out of the door crying.

Li Mingchang looked at the weaker back, reached out and touched his tears, stood up, gritted his teeth and signed the farewell letter with his blurry tears: "Nephew Li Mingchang cried and wrote the bloody letter"

But in the morning, Li Mingchang opened his eyes from the nightmare of Wan'er's beautiful figure and blood, and the interaction of the corpse, and heard a light knock on the door. His cousin's voice came in: "Cousin? Cousin? Have you woken up?"

When he opened the door, Li Mingchang, who was sleepy, suddenly woke up completely. A group of people outside the door, cousin, aunt, and five or six servants were looking at him like monsters.

My cousin's eyes were dark circles, and she obviously didn't sleep well last night. Her uncle was even more outrageous. She came up and hugged him, crying, "Baby, why are you so stupid?"

Seeing his mother so excited, his cousin with dark circles smiled bitterly: "Achang, my father wants to see you. It's in the main hall."

"Why do you want to join the army?" Mr. Zhou shouted as soon as he saw Li Mingchang: "Do you know that Guangzhou is being besieged by 200,000 long-haired hair, and Ye Mingchen only has 15,000 fucking fucking Eight Banners Green Camp soldiers?!!!!!!"

Looking at Wan'er next to her uncle, Li Mingchang knew that she had gone to "information". The furious young man was packaged with excitement from serving the country. He snatched the previous step and shouted: "Now it is the time when the country is in danger. If you have money, you have life! I have only one life, so I want to help Lord Ye guard Guangzhou!"

"You! You! You!" Mr. Zhou pointed at his nephew, his fingers trembling in anger.

"Father, forget it, everyone has their own ambitions." My cousin held the trembling arm and whispered.

"What do you know! I want to keep this only seedling for the Li family!" Mr. Zhou yelled.

"Master, forget it. Don't get angry." The third concubine, who was crying like a tearful person, stood up with a smile. She stood between Master Zhou and Li Mingchang and said with a smile: "Achang, do you like Wan'er? I like this girl. Don't blame her for telling us about your affairs. She is sincerely doing her good for you and doesn't want you to be in danger."

"Yes, yes! Wan'er is a good girl." Mr. Zhou, who was reminded by his cousin, shouted straight up like a spring-like waist. He stared at his nephew below and said, "We have made a plan. You are not young anymore. Now that my elder brother has passed away, I am your elder. Achang, now I will make the decision and betroth Wan'er to you as a side house. Get married today! Don't worry, I will keep the main house for you. In fact, I have been looking for someone who is a good match for you!"

"What?!" Li Mingchang was shocked, but he didn't expect that this matter would turn into a marriage.

In fact, it is easy to think about it. This is the random thoughts of the elders in order to control the younger generation, and they want to use marriage to hold the younger generation.

"Wan'er, are you willing?" asked the third concubine with a smile.

Wan'er, who had red and swollen eyes, peeked at Li Mingchang, who was stunned and turned her head, shyly stopped saying anything.

It has been a blessing for her to be the most humble person like Li Mingchang, a young master, to be a side room in eight lifetimes, and she also secretly likes this young man who always talks with him.

"Wan'er doesn't speak, she just agrees." The third concubine smiled and turned her head and said, "Mingchang, just nod."

The third concubine and Mr. Zhou had known that Li Mingchang looked at Wan'er with admiration, and always liked to talk to her, so why didn't he know what this nephew thought?

Li Mingchang blushed. He looked at her with deep affection, but immediately, this obvious conspiracy aroused the boy's hatred. He turned his head, looked at the ground with his eyes, and shouted: "The Huns have not been destroyed! Why do you want the family!"

Then he looked at the relative in front of him with all his courage and shouted: "Uncle! My intention is gone! The farewell book is on my desk! I'm going to fight to the top of the city now!"

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Behind him, his uncle's anger and Wan'er's cry came, but he was immediately replaced by a scream: "Master!Master!Master!Master, what's wrong with you!"

Even so, he didn't look back, but his fists were clenched tightly.

========

At the east end of Guangzhou, Li Mingchang and a group of green camp soldiers fought bloody battles against Zhao Kuo's Taiping Army.

The tall city walls are like Great Walls, and waves of long hair and flesh are scattered under this strong city.

Li Mingchang, who had experience in fighting with Changmao, set fire to the muskets, and he gritted his teeth every time, striving to solve a bandit with one shot.

It has been holding on for a month, and Li Mingchang can't count how many people he has killed.

Guangzhou is tall and climbed up from the city, like an ant. He has shot, smashed, stabbed, and even beat people down the city wall with his fist and smashed people to death.

But every dead person makes him happy, these are all traitorous beasts.

Every time the enemy retreated, he couldn't help but cheer loudly, and then insulted the bandits at the dirty, smelly, and smelly army stationed in the smell of opium, applauding his own bravery, completely forgetting that the residence was the terrible green camp station in the eyes of the residents.

But the cowardice of his brothers made him angry. When someone complained at the residential resident they had seized, his courageous spirit angrily refuted the other party, and then there was deep silence, leaving only the popping sound of opium guns.

Fortunately, he saw with his own eyes the pontoon bridge connected by Taiping military ships on the river under the city, which was arrogantly crushed into two pieces by British warships. He and his brothers laughed: "This group of long-haired beasts are in trouble. The barbarians are helping our country in the heavens!"

But then it got worse and worse, and the British and American warships that sent them reinforcements, gunpowder and weapons disappeared, and the Taiping Army's firepower became stronger and stronger.

The Green Camp brothers did not see many casualties, but more and more wounded soldiers were.

Today is a bloody day.

The long-haired military flags under the city of Guangzhou seem to be connected into a line, and I have never seen so many military flags appear at the same time.

The long hair on the ladder seemed to have taken medicine and climbed up desperately.

Li Mingchang, who had been eating food that Green Camp mice had not eaten for a month, was obviously thinner, but became more and more fierce. He killed three thieves in succession and smashed two ladders with a butt, just like an angry skinny tiger rushing over the city.

When Li Mingchang yelled and stabbed a thief blinding the eye with his gun barrel and watching him fall to the ground in the distant city, a voice called him: "Mingchang! Mingchang! Mingchang!"

Li Mingchang turned his head and saw that it was Zhang Abing, a veteran of the Green Camp who was usually kind to him. As a rattan player, he was shrinking under the battlements in pain and shouting at him.

"Lao Bing, what's wrong with you?" Li Mingchang threw down his gun and jumped to the old man and helped him up.

Green Camp rattan player Zhang Abing is already 51 years old, has three sons and five grandsons!

His gray hair showed the weakness of the veteran, and he was a soldier who was very good to Li Mingchang in the green camp. Li Mingchang respected him like his elder brother.

"Brother Mingchang, I sprained my ankle and couldn't move. Please send me to the injured barracks!" Zhang Abing said tremblingly at Mingchang, but his tone was unquestionable.

Looking at the enemy troops who were accompanied by ants like ants outside the city wall, Li Mingchang hesitated between saving people and killing the enemy.

"Hurry up! I'm going to die!" Without saying a word, Old Zhang hugged Li Mingchang's neck with one hand, stood up, jumped down the city, and led Li Mingchang forward without saying anything.

"Stop! What are you doing?!" A supervisor of the battle blocked the two men in the middle of the steps of the downtown. His mission was to stop the deserters. If there were deserters, he would be killed without mercy.

Li Mingchang was startled when he looked at the heroic officer. Before he could speak, Old Zhang, who was holding him, had already said loudly: "Guan Qin, this is Li Mingchang, the nephew of the boss of the cloth merchant Zhou! I was injured, he helped me down! Is it, brother Mingchang?"

The Guandao and Li Mingchang were both stunned at the same time. The latter did not expect that he had said nothing. How could this veteran know his background?

The former was stunned for a moment, looked at Li Mingchang, showed a complicated look, and said, "Are you Mr. Zhou's nephew Li Mingchang?" After hesitating, he waved his hand and shouted, "Go over! Go and go back!"

He helped Lao Zhang to the middle of a group of wounded soldiers who were crying and howling in the wounded barracks. Li Mingchang looked at Lao Zhang with confusion in confusion, and hesitated for a moment and asked, "How do you know that I am my uncle's nephew?"

But Old Zhang moaned loudly, handed the rattan card and long knife in his hand to Li Mingchang and said, "I'm going to hurt so much, Mingchang, you go and kill the enemy!"

With a lot of surprise, Li Mingchang hurried back to the city wall.

What he didn't know was that as soon as he left, the injured barracks were in an uproar. Countless people shouted at Lao Zhang: "Lao Zhang, you old malagebi fried dough stick, you don't see blood on your body, how did you get down?"

"I know the nephew of the Zhou boss of the cloth merchant. Doesn't I know who it is? That's the richest man in Foshan! For this nephew, all the leaders have been fed. Who dares to stop me? You don't know who he blames? I know that Li Mingchang's idiot's background was still exchanged for two opium cigarettes!" Old Zhang smiled proudly, and then shouted: "Doctor, Malegebi, I am a wounded soldier! Come with opium!"

Holding a rattan card and a long sword in his hand, he passed by the war officer who was watching him unable to stop. The latter thought that the noble man who had greeted him would not come back. Li Mingchang had no time to pay attention to these strange things. As soon as he got on the front of the city, he was involved in a fierce battle. The battle situation on the front of the city was already extremely dangerous, and almost all battlements had long hair wrapped in headscarves exposed their heads.

Without saying anything, Li Mingchang chopped a headscarf with his right hand. As he screamed in his ear, he stretched out his left arm and then used a rattan card to hit a long hair climbing up on the left.

He gritted his teeth and hit the target. He would not have seen the other party clearly, but Li Mingchang took a special look at the long hair.

This is because the hair is very special.
