Chapter 626: Yuan Jiasan and Li Hongzhang
In the city of Haozhou, more than 1,000 Qing soldiers were taken by 3,000 soldiers and soldiers in the east of the city. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
An officer of the captive army who looked like a deputy regiment commander stood in the center of the school field, and shouted loudly to the Qing soldiers who were densely tied with their backhands and squatted on the ground: "Qing demon soldiers, you all listen to Lao Tzu, now that my Chinese Empire has just been founded, His Majesty the Emperor is merciful, as long as you report and expose the Qing demon heads and evildoers around you, it will be considered meritorious, and the empire will not kill your head." If you make great achievements, you can still get rewards, whether you want to go home, or join my army, it's up to you! ”
The officer with a fierce face paused, and then said viciously: "If you don't report it, you will be guilty of the same crime as the evildoers, and you will all be pulled down and beheaded to show the public!" You have to think clearly! ”
After speaking, he ordered the more than 1,000 Qing soldiers to be taken prisoner, divided into five teams, and searched and interrogated one by one in order.
A Qing soldier led by Bingyong was a thin man, as soon as he was escorted to the interrogator, he began to tremble, and before the interrogator interrogated, he directly confessed: "Master Jun, the little one is called Chen Wu, and the younger brother confesses!" There are two taels of silver hidden in the small trouser tube, dedicated to the military master! Also, Zhang San Mazi once killed two long-haired thieves, oh no, he was a hero of the Taiping Army, and he once killed two heroes of the Taiping Army who fell behind in the Northern Expedition. The small one is just a cropper of his duty, and he was recruited to Haozhou to resist the twister, he has never killed anyone, let the small one go, the small one is old, and the one is small. Please......"
And Zhang San Mazi, whom he called him, also talked about him at a nearby interrogation platform: "Master Jun, the little one exposed that a man named Chen Wu once robbed a family of people and burned down that family's house...... The silver he had stolen was exchanged for a silver ticket, and he hid it in the sole of his shoe......"
So, both of them were taken to the side of the school field, and all the silver and other things hidden on their bodies were searched out, waiting to be disposed of.
After they took the lead, the Qing soldiers who were escorted confessed one after another, and reported all the evildoers they knew around them.
Yuan Jiasan was dressed in tattered linen soldier costumes, mixed in with the Qing soldiers who were being detained.
At the time of the war, he found a henchman Yong to change his clothes, and asked the henchman wearing his official uniform to pretend to be him to lead the crowd to break through and die on the spot. And Gong Guoxun, the governor of Haozhou, and Song Qing, the general of the Maozhou battalion, have also been killed in battle. So that no one will recognize him!
Of course, as the imperial history of the Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the governor of Anhui and the minister of regimental training, Yuan Jia is a high-ranking official with three dignified and upright qualities, not greedy for life and afraid of death, but wants to stay useful and serve the court! As a scholar, Zhongjun has gone deep into his bone marrow. Now when the imperial court is in crisis, as the governor of Anhui and the minister of regimental training, he wants to organize the Qing army in Anman, drive out the bandits and Cantonese thieves in the territory, and ensure the safety of the people. In particular, he has mastered a set of training methods, as long as he is given some time, he is confident that he can train a strong team to protect the township and the people.
Especially yesterday in the city tower, he heard the gang of bandits shouting, saying that the Beijing city of the Qing Dynasty had been captured by the Cantonese thieves, and the Qing Emperor had also died, he couldn't believe it! He had to try his best to escape, as long as he arrived in Fengyang Mansion or Luzhou Mansion, he would be able to reorganize his troops and serve the imperial court. If possible, he will also lead his troops to King Qin, Jingshi.
Therefore, he must not die here. First of all, it is not to be recognized by these Cantonese thieves. Because of this, he, who has always been arrogant, let his henchmen die instead, and he was aggrieved to pretend to be a little soldier, was captured, and blended in with the soldier.
The people who knew him, the generals of the Qing army and Zhizhou, had all died in battle, and the other soldiers, no one knew that he was hiding in the soldiers, he was sure that he could escape, and even the rhetoric had been thought out in advance.
Sure enough, no one reported him.
Soon, it was his turn, he cried and mourned, pretended to be extremely pitiful, and begged bitterly: "Master Jun, little Jia Yuan, lonely and helpless, and old, just have nowhere to go, I hope that Master Jun will take him in, let the little one join your army, and enjoy a bite of food." Little grateful, grateful! ”
Sure enough, as soon as he said this, coupled with his tearful performance, the interrogated captive officer quickly passed, and interrupted him ruthlessly: "Go, go, as a Qing demon, it's okay if the empire didn't behead you, and you still want to eat in the captive army?" Besides, all of our captives are useful, dragons and tigers, you want to go into battle to kill the enemy, you look weak, you fall to the ground at the slightest touch, how can you join our captive army? Forget it, seeing that you don't look like you've killed someone, you go with him, and when your body is searched, I'll let you go home, and you can't join the Qing Demon in the future, but there should be no chance, the Qing Demon Dog Emperor has died, and it's all over. ”
Yuan Jiasan was secretly happy in his heart, and slowly moved, wanting to walk to the team of the old, weak, sick and disabled on the side.
At this moment, several soldiers of the Capture Army wearing gray uniforms of the Capture Army came over. Yuan Jiasan raised his eyes and saw that the leader was actually the leader of the Cantonese thieves.
"Gradually, I specially called you here to let you identify whether the demon head surnamed Yuan was mixed with these captives and soldiers. Peng always didn't believe it, no matter how he said it, this surnamed Yuan was also famous, how could he be like a rude martial artist, leading his troops to rush forward? "The leader of the Cantonese thieves said.
"Gradually?" How could Yuan Jiasan feel so familiar, and then turned his head to look next to the leader of the Cantonese thieves, just right, the man also turned his head to look over, and looked at each other, Yuan Jiasan was taken aback and almost screamed!
He had already recognized who was standing next to the leader of the Cantonese thieves! It turned out to be Li Hongzhang and Li Jianfu, who had served as the prefect of Luzhou and the Taoist of Lufeng!
This person is also Yuan Jiasan's junior, originally in the capital, he was familiar, and later became an official in Anman, and he also gave an account several times, and was defeated outside the city of Luzhou, and was dismissed from the position of prefect and Taoist, and he also helped him speak. I didn't expect to encounter it in this kind of scene.
Wait, why is he here? Seeing that the other party nodded at him, and with a smile, Yuan Jiasan's hairs stood up, and he shivered.
He vaguely remembered that after this person was dismissed, and because of the death of his father, he went to Wuchang to join Zeng Guofan, the assistant minister of the League Training of Huguang and Guangxi Provinces. Now that Wuchang has been attacked by Cantonese thieves, and this group of thieves happens to come from Mubei, this person is among the Cantonese thieves, is it?
He didn't have to guess, because he had already seen that this guy named Li Hongzhang had already whispered something to the leader of the Cantonese thieves, and the leader of the Cantonese thieves was staring at him with a smile.
Finished! Recognized, recognized!
"Lord Zuodu Yushi Yuan, it's been a long time!" Damn Li Hongzhang, he walked straight to himself and bowed. That hateful smile made Yuan Jiasan want to swallow him in one bite.
"The surname is Li, you are a dog thief, you actually betrayed your father, betrayed the court, and took refuge in the thieves!" Yuan Jiasan saw that he had been recognized, so he simply stopped pretending and scolded loudly.
"Lord Yuan, where is the monarch's father? But full of flags and Tatars! As a Han and a descendant of Yan and Huang, Li deeply regretted that he had been a slave in the past. Now I finally understand that it is wrong to follow His Majesty the Emperor and create a prosperous era of the Chinese Empire for my Han family? Li Hongzhang was eloquent and said it confidently, and refuted Yuan Jiasan on the spot: "It's you, surnamed Yuan, are you worthy of your Han family surname?" ”
"The surname Yuan is after the emperor Yu Shun, the surname of the Han family, why bend to the thief and become a Han in vain! What's more, now the Manchu Imperial City has been captured by the soldiers of our Chinese Empire, the Tartar Emperor has also died, and His Majesty has ascended the throne. Lord Yuan, Li looks at the past feelings, and advises you, surrendering to the empire is the right way, but don't be obsessed! ”
