Chapter 210: Descendants of the Mao Clan
Cheng Xiaolian was helpless: "This girl, we really don't know who you are, if it is a prisoner of the Ming Dynasty, now the Ming Dynasty has already died in the country, and the past must not be blamed, you should come out to see each other." ”
"That's it, we are not the opponents of Jinyiwei, fighting with you will inevitably increase casualties, so I will come out."
Cheng Xiaolian shouted in a low voice: "Be careful around, don't let your guard down at this time." ”
He knows that many times, when it comes to this, he is either really convinced to come out and make peace, or he is about to break out, so he reminds the people around him to be careful.
However, it did not happen as he expected, and countless people poured out of the darkness, and it was impossible to see how many people there were in the night.
The leader was a woman in white, in her early twenties, with a beautiful face, but a look of anger, and a white cloth was still tied to her forehead, it seemed that someone in the family had passed away.
Cheng Xiaolian bowed his hand: "Cheng Xiaolian, the commander of the Daming Curse Army, has seen the girl. ”
The surrounding Yang Youcai already knew the name Cheng Xiaolian, and felt that Cheng Xiaolian was indeed very safe in doing this, and it was not certain whether the other party was an enemy or a friend, if they reported Zhu Helian's name, if they had a grudge against the Zhu family's royal family, they would be passive.
The woman sneered: "Da Ming has been dead for 30 years, where is there any Da Ming, you people are thieves, and sooner or later they will be slaughtered." ”
Cheng Xiaolian smiled bitterly: "I don't know why the girl hates Daming so much?" Could it be that there is a grudge against Daming? ”
The woman stretched out her hand and pointed around: "Which of these people has no enmity with Da Ming?" We think day and night and look forward to the death of the Ming Dynasty! ”
Cheng Xiaolian wasn't very angry: "I don't know what grudge the girl has with Daming?" I don't know if you can say it and listen to it? ”
"Da Ming and I have a grudge against killing my master, a hatred of breaking my family!"
Cheng Xiaolian was stunned: "I don't know who Grandfather Ling is?" He was very depressed in his heart, he only knew that his father's name was Ling Tang, but he didn't know what his grandfather was called, so he could only reluctantly become Ling Grandfather, and it was estimated that he would be laughed out of his big teeth.
The woman sneered: "My grandfather is the Zuo Governor of the Ming Dynasty, Mao Wenlong, who was crowned the crown prince and gave the sword of Shang Fang. ”
Hearing this, Xiaolian suddenly realized, it turned out to be him, Mao Wenlong, the chief military officer of Dongjiang Town, who was killed by Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Jiliao, with the Shang Fang sword, as for those official positions sealed by the imperial court, Cheng Xiaolian of course did not remember.
Cheng Xiaolian glanced at the woman: "Do you think your grandfather was wronged?" ”
As soon as his words fell, the people around him immediately glared angrily, and some even picked up weapons, Yang Youcai stretched out his hand to stop Cheng Xiaolian: "Young shopkeeper, that Mao Wenlong is indeed a little wronged." ”
Cheng Xiaolian was stunned for a moment, in his impression, Mao Wenlong was an arrogant general soldier, and the only right thing he did was to occupy Dongjiang Town, and the others were all sins, deducting military salaries, not obeying orders, and finally being killed by Yuan Chonghuan, which could be regarded as the end of his despicable life, but looking at the reactions of the people around him, it was a little wrong.
Yang Youcai coughed: "In any case, after Mao Wenlong's death, Dongjiang Town lost its role, and his subordinates surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which is always right." ”
Cheng Xiaolian thought about it for a while and understood what was going on, I used to read the book that Yuan Chonghuan killed Mao Wenlong, in order to prevent his subordinates from mutiny, he added silver to each of his soldiers, who knew that the people of Dongjiang Town were easy to disperse, except for those who fled, all the others took refuge in the Manchu Dynasty, and I have to say that killing him is indeed a bit worth the loss.
Yang Youcai said in a low voice: "I have seen the secret files of Jinyiwei, Mao Wenlong traded with the Manchu Qing Dynasty privately, and sold a lot of materials, which can be regarded as a betrayal of the enemy, but running Dongjiang Town can also be regarded as a high level of hard work, which is also the reason why the emperor has been reluctant to send it for a long time." At that time, in order to appease Inspector Yuan, Emperor Chongzhen issued several orders to reward Yuan Chonghuan, which made them even more chilled. ”
Cheng Xiaolian didn't think there was anything, Yuan Chonghuan had two solid sins in killing Mao Wenlong, risking the army's salary and communicating with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, you must know that many materials in the Manchu Qing Dynasty were obtained from Mao Wenlong, and this person is arrogant, and he is simply a chicken rib existence.
So whether to kill or not to kill is all in one thought, but Yuan Chonghuan was afraid that he didn't expect that Dongjiang Town had long been run by Mao Wenlong as his own territory, and he killed Mao Wenlong who wanted to use several times the military salary to save people's hearts, but he didn't expect those people to become one with Mao Wenlong, so Dongjiang Town soon lost its effect, which can be regarded as a failure for him.
Cheng Xiaolian glanced up at the girl: "Then why did you come here again?" ”
"Emperor Chongzhen in order to appease Yuan Chonghuan's heart, sent his Jinyi guards to hunt down and kill his grandfather's henchmen, those henchmen of the Beijing division were killed cleanly, countless dead soldiers escorted my father to flee to Hangzhou, this is the life to live, and later many grandfather's henchmen knew that my father was still alive, rushed to Hangzhou, who knew that after a few years, the ghost of Jinyiwei was not gone, and sent people to Hangzhou, my father could only leave his hometown and leave his homeland to flee to Myanmar, and finally died here depressed."
Cheng Xiaolian immediately understood that the feeling was that his father had just died, and he was hanging filial piety to his father.
Thinking of this, he asked, "How many of you still have here?" ”
The woman didn't have any scheming, and replied, "Five hundred." ”
Yang Youcai was amazed after hearing this: "Five hundred? Then why don't you fight us? ”
The woman suddenly cried: "Before my father died, he said, these people have been loyal to the Mao family all their lives, who knows that the glory and wealth have not been obtained but followed our family to run for their lives. ”
Cheng Xiaolian couldn't cry or laugh: "They just watched you come out?" ”
The woman snorted, "I put the sword around my neck, and naturally they don't dare to disobey my orders. ”
"I heard that this village is haunted, what is going on?"
"Naturally, we killed people when we came, and then pretended to be gods and deceived people? Otherwise, where would there be a stable life? ”
Cheng Xiaolian was shocked: "You killed the whole village? ”
"Isn't it possible to keep them out to report the news?"
"It's not necessarily too cruel."
"Put away your hypocrisy, you can actually be the commander of the first army, and the number of people killed may not be less than ours!"
Yang Youcai nodded: "This village is hidden, and coupled with the haunting, there must not be many people willing to pass by here, so it is not easy to hide until now." ”
"Even if so, didn't you find it? I've already said that if you want to arrest me, you'll stand here, but you must not hurt anyone again! ”
