Bi Xuansheng saw that Feng Haijiao was confused and hurriedly came up to join in the fun: "Congratulations to Feng Yingxiong. You have become a military attache of the imperial court. You are an officer and soldier in Yangshan County. How difficult is it to raise a few rations?"
This sentence made Feng Haijiao perk up: Not to mention having an official body and honoring his ancestors, just with this name, he is a legitimate "officer and soldier" who can collect food and pay in the county. Which village dares to say "no"
"" means "collaborating with bandits"! Killing them is not only guiltless, but also meritorious.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel excited. However, when he thought about it again, although the name of "Yangshan Left Wing Commander" was tempting, it was just a warning in the end. The Kun thief was not easy to mess with. Governor Xiong was ten years old.
Wan Dajun was driven all the way to Guangxi by the bandits, not to mention that he was just a small group of green forest heroes in Yangshan County - isn't this an egg against a stone?!
Zhan Zhekun saw his expression change and probably guessed what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "Feng Yingxiong, don't worry. People say that the Kun thieves are well-equipped and invincible. In fact, they are just relying on sharp guns and cannons."
.If it is really as powerful as they boast, how did Guangning be recovered by the government in the first place?"
He began to brag about how he led his troops, first sneaking people into the city as an internal response, convincing the remaining officers and soldiers to surrender, and then cooperating with the outside to break Huining County.
"...He killed several hundred of the thieves on the spot, and also captured the fake county magistrate appointed by the thieves and a group of fake officials and officials, and executed them in public!"
Zhan Zhekun said proudly. Indeed, this was the biggest victory he had achieved since he led his troops to sneak back to Guangdong from Guangxi. The heads of the naturalized county director and several "pseudo officials" he considered important had been placed in a bottle full of
In a lime wooden box, he was sent back to Guangxi on a starry night. Zhan Zhekun thought of striking while the iron was hot and conquering another city.
However, his plan to instigate the Yang family to rebel in Huining, attempt to seize Shijian, and then capture Huining County was ruined by the timely arrival of Kun's army. Yang Juren lost most of his troops in the battle of Shijian. He returned with his troops.
After that, Yang Ju's family felt as if they were mourning for their heirs, and even Zhan Zhekun was disgraced.
Fortunately, after the two battles in Shijian, the Yang family had completely become enemies with the Kun thieves. Even if they wanted to rebel, they had no chance, so they could only resolve to "destroy the family and serve the country." After Yang Jinghui returned to Zhuangzi, he immediately arranged the follow-up.
They moved the wealth and family members in the village to the Weihu Mountain village they had captured in the past - the terrain there was difficult and difficult to attack. They also raised the walls of the village, cast cannons, manufactured gunpowder weapons, and forced the villagers and tenants to do so.
The strong men drew one of them to act as local braves. They stood ready and prepared for the Australians to fight to the end. The whole village was frightened three times a day, and everyone did not undress at night, and everyone was ready to fight.
However, Huang Chao was anxious to get to Lianyang area and did not send troops to encircle Yangjiazhuang. After hearing from the spies that the Kun bandit army had passed through, the Yang family, who had been in panic all day, finally felt at ease again.
However, Yang Jinghui knew that the crisis had not passed yet. The reason why the Kun thieves ignored him now was simply because the Yao people in the Lianyang area rebelled, making them unable to care about him. Once the rebellion was put down, there was no way that the Kun thieves would let Yangjiazhuang go.
With the increasing strength of the National Army in the county and the continuous strengthening of the militia system, Yangjiazhuang's room for activity has been greatly reduced. Some villages that used to submit to themselves now have the backing of the county, and they have also raised "militia"
.Although it is not difficult to defeat these villages, he is afraid of triggering a large-scale encirclement and suppression by the county.
Although Yangjiazhuang has walls and towers, as well as artillery and guns, it is still just a village and cannot be defended. What's more, once it is besieged by the National Army, the tenants of the village will not be able to produce, and where will the money and food come from?
So no matter how much Zhan Zhekun urged and promised, Yang Jinghui, an old fox, was still unwilling to directly confront the Kun thief. But he also knew that if he didn't do something, he would just sit back and wait to die.
In the end, Yang Jinghui finally decided to continue "causing trouble" for the Kun thieves, not in Huining, but in a different place - rabbits don't eat grass beside their nests.
Zhan Zhekun felt that this plan was feasible. Several people discussed it and chose Yangshan.
Yangshan is a place where Han and Yao people are mixed, and there was a Yao rebellion not long ago. Since it has just subsided, there may be a few dissatisfied people who can instigate and exploit it. The key is that the original second master of Hushan, Jiewendong, is in Yangshan.
There are acquaintances.
So this group of people came to Feng Haijiao's house and persuaded him to "support Ming and destroy Kun".
When he mentioned this result, Feng Haijiao couldn't help but be secretly surprised - there was such a thing! He did vaguely hear that the Kun thief suffered a defeat in Huining and even lost the county seat. Zhan Zhekun saw that he didn't believe it
, immediately asked his attendants to fetch a box and opened it in front of him.
"Feng Yingxiong, please look at this. This is the seven-star blunderbuss used by the fake county magistrate of the Kun thief," Zhan Zhekun said with pride. "This thing is the military weapon of the thief Kun. Only the fake cadres of Kun have it. The Ming Dynasty did not
There is nowhere to buy it. Do students need to say more about this matter of destroying the city and killing thieves?"
Feng Haijiao took the revolver. Although he had never seen this object before, he had heard it mentioned before. Regardless of its shape, luster and sophistication, it was beyond the capabilities of local blacksmiths. It was obviously an authentic "gun object".
"How is it? The so-called invincible Kun thief sometimes suffers defeat." Zhan Zhekun began to brag again, "The Kun thief went west and was defeated in Teng County, unable to advance even an inch; heroes from all walks of life rose up throughout Guangdong.
The Kun thieves only have tens of thousands of troops, and they are spread all over Guangdong. They are already stretched to the left and right, and they are beyond their capabilities! Even if they are making trouble now, it is actually a situation of spring ice with the tail of the tiger - it will not take half a year, the officers and soldiers will counterattack! Yangshan Zhi
This is the main route for officers and soldiers from the two lakes to enter Guangdong. If Feng Yingxiong is here to support him, wouldn't he be a great contributor to the imperial court's restoration of Guangdong?"
These words made Feng Haijiao dizzy, and the flames of fame and wealth arose. He then smiled and said: "Okay! Let's do it!" After saying that, he raised his hand: "Come here, put the wine!"
After a banquet, although everyone had their own agendas, they all found their own place and everyone was enjoying themselves. A group of people came to Huining, all with the idea of taking Feng Haijiao's chestnuts from the fire, and tried their best to flatter him. Zhan Zhekun even said three words: "
He kept saying "General" and made Feng Haijiao very drunk. He seemed to have completely forgotten that what he promised to Feng Haijiao was just a staff member, and the Ministry of War could not find a vacant "Yangshan Left Wing General".
The next day, under the instigation of the people in Huining, Feng Haijiao held a small ceremony, put on the military attaché robes brought by Zhan Zhekun, wore a monkey hat, and officially took office as "General Manager of the Left Wing of Yangshan"
Zhan Zhekun presented him with a standard war sword used by Ming army generals. Bi Xuansheng and Wen Dong also joined in the fun and presented gifts respectively. They also kowtowed to greet him with the class below, holding Feng Haijiao so high that he could not find the north.
.
Feng Haijiao had already been appointed an official, so he naturally wanted to show off his authority. He immediately asked someone to find an engraving craftsman and carved a piece of wood for the barrier. He also asked someone to copy fifty notices - the notice was for Bi Xuansheng.
It was written so well that, in addition to the words "to punish the people and punish crimes" and "to support the Ming Dynasty and destroy the emperor", the most important thing was to levy wages and ask the wealthy households to "donate willingly".
He took the big seal and stamped it again and again on the "notice". However, except for Qinglianwei and some surrounding places, what he said was not so effective - even sending people to post it was not necessarily useful. That's right.
His interest was dull, and Bi Xuansheng knew what he was thinking, and said: "General Feng! Since ancient times, when doing big things, you have always spoken with integrity. You are now a military attache of the imperial court, but everyone doesn't know it yet. You just have to post all the notices.
, the loyal people in Yangshan County will naturally gather in Jingcong to help with food and wages - if there are so many stubborn people, it is justifiable for you to raise troops to conquer."
"That makes sense!" Feng Haijiao became interested again when he said it. He felt that the young man in front of him was very to his liking. He remembered that since ancient times, whether he was a king of a mountain or an official, he had to have a military advisor, who was second to a master.
Although Feng Haijiao has a few people around him who are proficient in writing to help with writing, he is not as eloquent as Bi Xuansheng, the son of a professional master. At that moment, he had a great impression of him and said: "You are right, he is a scholar after all.
, Knowledgeable!" He walked around the room with a shy belly and said, "How about you just be a master next to me?"
Although Bi Xuansheng is not very old - he is not even twenty years old - he is a very "ambitious" person. He looks down on his father, thinking that his father is well-read in poetry and books, and he knows everything about astronomy and geography.
, he actually settled down to serve as a master for a young master from a mountain valley, without any ambition to start a career of his own.
As he got older, he realized that it was difficult to achieve success in a career. He read too many storybooks and thought that it would be good to be like a master to emperors and generals, assisting them in their careers - as the saying goes, "strategizing" and "talking and laughing". However, his family
My father was only a scholar when he was studying for a long time. He himself was not even a scholar. He had a lot of "knowledge" but nowhere to sell it.
Master Yang raised the flag of "King of Diligence", which gave Bi Xuansheng hope to get ahead. Compared with his father, he was more active. This mission to Yangshan was the one he volunteered to do.
He agreed only because he was willing to be cold-blooded and enthusiastic. Unexpectedly, the hero here actually fell in love with him at a glance! Bi Xuansheng suddenly felt like a "confidant".
So Bi Xuansheng became Feng Haijiao's "master". Zhan Zhekun was secretly amused, thinking that this little boy with a yellow mouth and no hair on his lips would actually be attracted by this green forest hero. God help me! Originally Bi Xuansheng was just an insignificant person.
This character has become a great help at this moment. With him by Feng Haijiao's side, many things are under control. He said that Feng Haijiao has "a keen eye to recognize talents."
On the other hand, Jie Wendong was a little anxious. Master Bi had entrusted him to protect his son's safety when he came here. Now that he has become the master, he has to stay here. What should he do if he goes back?
