In the afternoon, in the Yundao Palace, which was renamed from the Daozhou Prefecture Ya, Zeng Guanlan will report to Feng Shaoguang about the situation of He Shaocai, a profiteer and the chief envoy of Daozhou. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Alas! This He Shaocai, tsk! After hearing this, Feng Shaoguang sighed.
"Holy King, what's wrong? Should He Shaocai stay here? Zeng Guanlan couldn't help asking.
"There's nothing wrong with that, Guanlan, you can solve this matter in less than a day, and you're doing a good job! It seems fitting that you should be in charge of the fine camp! Feng Shaoguang replied. Of course, he would not explain to Zeng Guanlan that he sighed because of He Shaocai, who was directly beheaded. The commander of the Hunan army in history, the man of the year from the official to the commander, turned into a spy and was directly taken down and beheaded by his own people, and this person's fate was changed by himself.
Don't think about it anymore at the moment, Feng Shaoguang still has a lot of things to deal with.
As early as the morning, Tan Tiyuan and Fan Ruzeng had already taken Liu Changyou and his family members to meet, and Jiang Zhongyi also saw his old mother, and everyone cried with joy. In the afternoon, Feng Shaoguang came to the courtyard next door to arrange all the family members, Liu Changyou and Jiang Zhongyi had already calmed down. The reason why Feng Shaoguang came to visit in the afternoon was to let them get close to their families and talk about family affection, plus they had time to think about it at noon, presumably, they could make their own choices now.
Sure enough, as soon as they entered the courtyard, Liu Changyou and Jiang Zhongyi greeted them.
"Holy King, painstakingly arranged, and safely picked up Liu's family, I am grateful! It's just, how about I think about it again? Liu Changyou's attitude changed greatly, but he refused to agree to demote Feng Shaoguang immediately for the sake of saving face.
"Zimo, a dignified husband, why bother to stick to small sections? Let's give you another night to think about it, and I'll get back to me tomorrow! Feng Shaoguang sighed.
"Changyou, but Mr. Feng invited you to help him?" Liu's mother, who was sitting a little farther away, was blind in her eyes, but her ears were even more powerful, and she heard the conversation between the two, so she asked.
"Mother, the affairs of their men's family, we women, don't worry about it!" The young woman on the side persuaded, it seems that it is Liu's wife Li.
"We don't care about men's affairs, but when it comes to the Liu family's affairs, how can my old woman not care? Changyou, the year before last, you recruited the townspeople to help the government suppress Li Yuanfa, and you can also be said to be the hometown father who defended Xinning. But this year, you followed the Yang Xijiang clan to Guangxi to suppress bandits, why is this? Your fame is too heavy! Although Liu's mother was blind, her heart was clear, and Liu Changyou blushed when she said it.
But Liu's mother couldn't see it, she continued: "My mother has warned you a long time ago, like your father, be a businessman with peace of mind, and live a peaceful life, you just don't listen." In this way, since you want to be an official and get ahead so much, then be the official of our Han people and the official of Mr. Feng! In this way, my mother will support you! I want to be a servant official of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, let my Liu family bear the infamy for a lifetime, and wait until I die! ”
Liu Changyou blocked the face of outsiders and his wife and children, and was scolded by his old mother, his old face was flushed, so he had to knead and say: "Mother, don't be excited, what you reprimand is, I just listen to you." As he spoke, he turned to Feng Shaoguang and bowed, and said, "Holy King, you are wrongly loved, and Changyou is grateful in my heart!" I am willing to join the Holy Army, follow you, and fight against the Qing Dynasty together! ”
Feng Shaoguang didn't expect that Liu's mother was still a person with a national complex, and she actually helped herself persuade her son in just a few words, so she couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Liu Changyou up, and said with a smile: "Okay, great, with Zimo's help, my holy army will be even stronger!" ”
Liu Changyou looked at Feng Shaoguang with a happy face, and couldn't help but feel emotional. Unexpectedly, the long-haired thief leader he hated so much, not to mention the captive himself, but also tried his best to frame himself, but he didn't expect that his ultimate goal was to recruit himself! What I didn't expect was that now I actually took refuge in him! Hey, too, who told him to grasp his weakness at once? As long as his family members are here, I am afraid that he will only be able to assist him wholeheartedly in the future!
However, from the fact that he worked hard to frame him first, and then brought in his family members in a hurry, it can be seen that he really attaches great importance to himself. Let's look at his actions, no longer stick to the evil rules of Guangxi Guangdong thieves, and he is not eclectic, and he has a bit of a clear appearance. In the Manchu court, he was just a tribute, and he was still not allowed to hold a half-body official position, besides, even if he had an official position, so what? Like his friend Jiang Minqiao, what if he became the prefect of the county order? In front of the Manchu bannermen, they are still inferior Han slaves! On the contrary, in this anti-Qing thief army, it is so valued! Life has to meet a Bole, it's enough!
Liu Changyou's thoughts flew in his head, and he settled down!
Feng Shaoguang praised Jiang Zhongyi a few more words, which made Jiang Zhongyi excited! He has no direct blood relatives except for his widowed mother in his hometown. Therefore, he is naturally very grateful to be able to bring his widowed mother to his side. Seeing the Holy King, he remembered something, so he said carefully: "Holy King, do you still remember Qu Wuqian, the Qing Demon Head guerrilla general who was captured outside Daozhou City?" After some persuasion by the villain, he was willing to surrender and join the Holy Army. It's just that the villain understands that he is a Qing Demon Zheng Red Flag person, so please make it clear to the Holy King. ”
"Oh, you're willing to join my Holy Army, but you're really a Demon Bannerman?" Feng Shaoguang was a little surprised, he had forgotten the captured guerrilla general.
"It's the flag man indeed! At first, he hid his identity as a flag man, but later the villain went a lot and became acquainted, so he told his truth. Jiang Zhongyi replied respectfully.
"Since it is a flag man, my holy army will not accept it! Zhongyi, if you go back and ask him about the details of his family, I will let Zeng Guanlan come to you and let him handle this matter! Feng Shaoguang replied. He considered that Qu was greedy for life and afraid of death, he would only flee if he fought, and he was a banner man, so the holy army categorically could not take him in. However, keeping it would not be of much help to the Manchus, if this Qu Wuqian's family was rich, he asked the fine camp to send someone to inform him that the family secretly took a ransom to ransom people, and the holy army was short of money; If he did too much evil and didn't pay a lot of money to redeem it, then it must be said that he would only behead the public to boost the morale of the Taiping Holy Army! As for the identity of the Manchu bannerman, although he doesn't have any good feelings, he is not as extremely hateful as the Heavenly King and the East King, perhaps, because of the educational effect of being instilled in the unity of the people since he was a child in his previous life.
But these thoughts were not easy to say to Jiang Zhongyi, so Feng Shaoguang had to turn around and let Zeng Guanlan handle the matter.
Feng Shaoguang didn't pay attention to this little episode. Accompanied by Tan Tiyuan, Fan Ruzeng and other guards, he came to a small courtyard next door, where Peng Yulin, his wife and his two sons, who had just arrived yesterday, lived.
"Holy King, this is the shopkeeper Peng invited from Hengzhou Mansion, and this is the old lady." Fan Ruzeng, who accompanied him, introduced, and said to a middle-aged man standing aside: "Shopkeeper Peng, this is the Holy King of our Taiping Holy Army!" ”
"The Taiping Holy Army Feng Yunshan has seen Shopkeeper Peng!" Feng Shaoguang stepped forward and took the lead in saluting.
"How dare you! Peng visits the Holy King! Peng Yulin, who has a mustache, is of medium stature, although he wears ordinary businessman's silk clothes, he has a good demeanor, and he can't hide the chic of a scholar, but the hidden worry in his eyes and eyebrows shows that this person seems to have encountered some difficulties.
