XIII. The Kokand Rebellion (7)

"Ladies and gentlemen, today I will not talk about the Bali Bridge, nor the two heroes, but also about a new incident in the northwest today! Ladies and gentlemen, do you know anything new in the Northwest? In the Xiangfu Teahouse, a storyteller opened the dragon gate array, and at the beginning of the storytelling, he also hung everyone's appetite.

"Is it Ping's business? This is nothing new! ”

"What's that? What Tuntian's? We're not interested in this, but if you talk about it, just stop! A tea guest said impatiently.

A few more people guessed everything but couldn't guess it, and everyone came to be interested, asking the storyteller to tell the story quickly, don't sell it. The storyteller smiled and bowed his hands, "This is a strange thing in the northwest, just talking about a scholar, called Zhang Chengzhi, who used to be successful in studying in the countryside, and was not too big to be a showman, and was about to go to Beijing to catch the exam, at that time, the heavenly demon star Agu Bai was making trouble in the northwest, and he also pulled the white tiger spirit, which made Xinjiang chickens and dogs restless, this Zhang Chengzhi read the military newspaper in the newspaper, so angry that he dropped the brush, and vowed to throw his pen from Rong and be loyal to the country!" This is all the way to the northwest, not to mention the hardships of this road, just that when he arrived in Dihua, he also personally went to the city wall to participate in the offensive and defensive battles, so skilled! Pierced through Yang in a hundred steps, and shot to death several of the three heavenly kings where Agu Bai sat down, which frightened Agu Bai to abandon the city and leave, and Zhang Chengzhi became famous for both civil and military affairs! The people of all parts of Xinjiang have given a nickname, called 'Tianshan Hero'! ”

Everyone was fascinated by this, their necks stretched, and they couldn't take their eyes off the storyteller who was spitting and saying, "Until Agu Bai calmed down, Governor Zuo was preparing to use it greatly, at least to worship this Tianshan hero as a political envoy, but I didn't expect this Zhang Xiucai to be humble and disregard fame and fortune." All the gold and silver rewards were put down and sealed, and he hung up the crown and left, and in the game world, in a few years, he traveled all over Xinjiang, and there are stories everywhere about him punishing evil and promoting good. On this day, he was bored and actually came to Kokand, good guy, at this time, it happened that the traitors of Kokand colluded with the Russians to rebel, and the lord of the country was trapped by the traitors and jumped off the building to commit suicide, and ordered the young lord to inherit the throne, but after all, the young lord is young, although he is quite wise, but the country is in chaos. How can he turn the tide, when he was crying, Zhang Chengzhi fell from the sky, he is also a loyal and righteous person, Kokand is a vassal of the Celestial Empire, how can he fall into the hands of barbarians? However, the country was chaotic and could not erect the banner of rebellion, so he had no choice but to be loyal and courageous, and there was nowhere to vent his loyalty. The storyteller was shocked, "Three hundred miles escorted the young master of Kokand to Ili." Pray for protection under the wings of the Celestial Empire, this Zhang Xiucai is still setting up an ambush on the road, and murdering many Russian cavalry with tricks, it is really happy! This is exactly what it is: 'Thousands of miles of running, the heroes of the Tianshan Mountains show their grandeur, and they ride alone to protect the domain. Loyalty, righteousness, courage and heroism! ’”

The tea guests listened very happily, this is much more energetic than the counterinsurgency, many people rewarded more copper dollars, the storyteller was a group of thanks, and several tea guests were discussing one after another: "This Zhang Xiucai is really amazing." If it is in the northwest, that is, the academic and political masters can compare. ”

"The Scholar and the Minister?"

"It's the master of Xinjiang Xuezheng Wang, don't look at the sad face when he went out of Yangguan in the past, people have a very moist life in Xinjiang, everywhere he goes, all the ministries are grandly welcomed, and he manages the origin of the children of each department! Now in Xinjiang, I heard that there is no identity of a showman, and it is difficult to say hello when you go out! His words in Xinjiang are better than those spoken by the governor's political envoy! ”

A tea guest sneered, "What kind of knowledge do these tribesmen know?" It's just insulting Sven! ”

"You can't say that, in the past, we were too indulgent in these places in the northwest, and we didn't manage them well, so we made trouble again and again, and now the first-class Gongzuo is sitting in Xinjiang, just to change these bad rules one by one, if these fame can collect the hearts of all the departments in Western Xinjiang, then it is the best, the so-called military strategy, do not use swords and guns and collect the merit of the king, this is the most clever means!"

"You have a point."

A man in a leather robe lowered the curtain to block out the noise outside, turned to the middle-aged man who was sitting on the top and drank tea slowly, and said, "Shihou, have you heard all these words?" ”

"There are a lot of nonsense," Li Ciming, the most popular celebrity in Beijing who is now known as Shihou, has a calm face and a gentle attitude, and he doesn't see the sharp and mean appearance that a celebrity should have, "The report of the Military Aircraft Department doesn't say so, this showman, hahaha, don't talk about it." ”

Li Ciming smiled and said nothing, but the man in the leather robe was interested, "What kind of person is this Xiucai." ”

"It's just a troublemaker, and the center is having a headache over this matter, and has brought the war to the country. Xinjiang has finally settled down, and now there will be another turmoil. Li Ciming said.

"The meaning of the center must be to seek stability," the leather-robed man pursed his lips, "This has been the case in all dynasties, and those in power are not willing to make a big move, I see that this matter can't be done, and it always disappears in the end, Brother Shihou, what do you say." ”

Li Ciming smiled, "Not necessarily, didn't you hear what you said outside?" These words, although nonsense, but everyone loves to listen, what does this mean, since the end of Xianfeng, the imperial court has used troops, all of them have won, and this person's heart has risen up, so they all love to listen to this kind of story about saving the feudal domain between fire and water, and they are also willing to be tough on outsiders, not to mention the old enemy like Russia. Li Ciming put down the teacup and poured himself a cup of boiled water, the boiling water emitted heat and dissipated indoors, Li Ciming stared at the heat that slowly dissipated, "This is the meaning of the people's hearts, and I am afraid that the twelve towns also mean this." ”

"What, is it difficult for the Twelve Towns to speak in the court?"

"They can't speak, so naturally someone will help them speak," Li Ciming said, "But in troubled times, martial artists must be open, this is an iron law, and it depends on how many princes and uncles have been born in the Pinghongyang Rebellion until now?" As long as you are a soldier, you will not want to fight, and you will not want to win a war. Besides, the so-called righteous people have to dismantle the army and the sailor, and this sailor has some effect, at least it scares the Japanese, but if there is no action on the land, I am afraid that they will have to worry. Li Ciming stood up and straightened his clothes, "Furthermore," he pointed to the sky, "the one above will not let go of this opportunity easily." (To be continued.) )
