Chapter 366 Choice
Night.
Outside Fugu County, on the river beach where the victims were housed, a few bonfires were burning.
A strong man sat in front of the fire from a long distance, staring intently at the flames, as if thinking about something, and the fire light that appeared from time to time shone on the face of this strong man, and it could be seen that this strong man was capable.
"Sixth brother, I see that Master Shi's rafts are almost sunburned, or in a few days, we can go down to Henan on these rafts, or it won't be long before we can reach Dongting Lake, and we can start a new life." Yang Qi sat next to his sixth brother and happily talked to his sixth brother.
"Yes, sixth brother, I think the relief of the imperial court this time is still quite effective, in this year of great disaster, you can still eat mutton, I haven't heard of this for many years, and now this sheepskin raft is almost ready to dry, or in a few days, you can get out of this sea of suffering......" On the edge of the fire, another person also said.
This kind of fire is used for lighting at night, and many of them are lit outside the city of Fugu County. A circle of people, sitting in front of this fire from a distance, was Yang Liu and some of his brothers, some old guys, they stayed in Fugu County for a few days, watching this sheepskin tire slowly dry, knowing that the time to stay in Fugu County was running out.
Everyone saw that the leader Yang Liu was silent and did not speak, so someone explained: "Sixth brother, I look at that matter, I am afraid that the government will not pursue it, and now that it has been so long, there is no news, I am afraid that this matter will pass like this, the court will not know, and we don't have to be afraid, the millions of immigrants of the Holy Son of Heaven have moved, how many more of us are?" If you have land to plant, who will rebel? Besides, it hasn't been done yet, has it? Sixth brother, I think, in two days, let's go, I always stay in this Fugu County, I'm afraid that people will be suspicious, I always use the excuse of letting others go first, I'm afraid that Master Shi will also be suspicious......"
An old subordinate of Yang Liu persuaded that they were the people who were going to raise the flag to rebel, but at the last moment, this rebellion was not made, the officials and soldiers got the news in advance, closed the city gates, and made preparations, so that this rebellion, which had no hope of success, was even closer to nothing. Therefore, this group of people, under the leadership of Yang Liu, gave up the rebellion at the last moment, but followed the river to the immigration point, however, they were also afraid in their hearts, afraid that the government would investigate this matter, and they had been entrenched for a long time in Fugu County, just to see how the court treated them, to see if the government would pursue the matter, if the investigation was strong, these people gathered together, they could also resist, if they floated down the river and dispersed, it would be meat on the chopping block, and there was no room for resistance. However, it is not a way to get together like this, and it is not a way to go if Pan Huan does not leave in Fugu County, those rafts made by Shi Kefa have almost been built, and at that time, they can transfer the victims in large quantities, if they don't leave at that time, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of others, so whether to go or not to go has become a difficult problem in front of Yang Liu.
Yang Liu surrendered a branch to the fire with an expressionless face, and the dead branch flew in the air for a while before falling on the fire and then began to burn. The fire shines brighter.
"Sixth brother, if not, I'll quietly puncture those leather tires at night, so that we don't have to ......leave," said a hairy young man in his teens.
"Shut up, don't talk nonsense, the sheepskin raft is a life-saving thing for the victims, and the sheepskin fetus will be punctured, and when the time comes, Master Shi will have no raft to transport the victims, how many victims will starve to death, do you know that this is creating evil? If we don't do that thing that hurts the heavens, we will thunder and thunder, and we will go to hell......" Yang Liu lowered his voice as much as possible, and severely reprimanded the hairy young man who had just had a bad idea.
The hairy young man named Da Mao hurriedly lowered his head.
Yang Liu seemed to have thought of something, and said: "Old guys, brothers, I, Yang Liu, have also thought a lot these days, and I have figured it out, and now, when we meet a holy son of heaven who comes out once in a thousand years, we want to rebel against him, I am afraid that it will be impossible to succeed, so I, Yang Liu, advise everyone, as long as the holy son of heaven is alive for one day in the future, the word rebellion will not be mentioned again...... Alas......" Yang Liu said a few words and sighed.
Yang Liu's words, everyone heard the heart, if it weren't for this Ming Dynasty out of a holy son of heaven, this Shaanxi is afraid that it is already full of beacons, look at the posture of this immigrant, to rebel, I am afraid it is impossible, there is no disaster year victims to be coerced, said rebellion, it is really a joke, you are picking out the banner of rebellion, the government does not necessarily treat you as a rebellion, but also when you are the thief who occupies the mountain as the king, there is no effort to pay attention to you, the years have passed, after a few years, the wife and daughter-in-law, sons and daughters have made a lot of them, The desire to rebel and claim the king is gone. ,
Yang Qi saw his sixth brother say this, so he said: "Then sixth brother, let's go to immigrate with peace of mind, when we get to Dongting Lake, we open hundreds of acres of land for him, and beat him with two thousand stones of grain every year, and he can't finish eating, and he can have white rice to eat every day, isn't it easy to have a good time?" β
Yang Liu continued to throw a dead branch into the fire, and the dead branch flew some distance in the air, fell into the fire, and burned.
"Alas...... To tell the truth, listening to that song in the past few days, it has hooked my Yang Liu's mind again, your brother and I originally planned to be a good citizen with peace of mind, plant a few acres of land, raise some food every year, and the wife and children are hot on the kang, so I passed it with peace of mind, but, in the past two days, this song, ala......s, 'If the heart is there, the dream is wow' I Yang Liu is really unwilling to live a dull life like this" Yang Liu finally spit out the reason for his hesitation.
"Sixth brother, do you want to?"
"Sixth brother, what are you going to do?"
"Sixth brother, don't you want to rejoin the army?"
"Sixth brother, what do you say, what do we do, we follow you is ......"
These brothers and subordinates of Yang Liu immediately shouted in support of Yang Liu's decision.
"Old guys, brothers, be quiet and listen to what I, Yang Liu, have to say." Yang Liu hurriedly suppressed it, except for the sound of the waves of the Yellow River this night, in fact, it was still very quiet, and such a loud noise would attract people's attention.
Everyone quieted down and listened to what Yang Liu had to say.
"I, Yang Liu, think so, re-join the official army, I don't want to think about it for the time being, before I see that the official army is worth taking refuge into, this road, I don't want to think about it, everyone knows what happened back then...... Doesn't the dog officer treat us as human beings,...... Lao Qi led everyone to continue to immigrate, go to the south to settle down, and get rid of this sea of suffering...... You have taken root, we are also at ease, I Yang Liu was originally an official army, born to play with knives and guns, to live a plain life, I Yang Liu is not reconciled, so, I want to go to the Guanwai, to Liaodong to try my luck, listen to my original colleagues said, now, Your Majesty is recruiting warriors outside the Guanxi who dare to go to the nest of the Donglu to hunt and kill heads, regardless of men and women, young and old, regardless of the military and civilians, as long as you can get the head of the Dongyu, you can get a high reward of silver, and you can even divide the field and land, It's okay to even change your official body, I think, with my Yang Liu's martial arts, I can get some Dongyu's heads, which is just in handy, and it is not in vain to endure for so many years......"
As soon as Yang Liu's words came out, the people around him immediately split into two sides, one shouting to follow Yang Qi to hunt people's heads, and some were silent.
"If you are willing to go hunting heads with me, I Yang Liu welcomes it, but there are not too many people, about a dozen people are enough, and the rest will follow Lao Qi to immigrate, take care of our wives and children, take root in the south, and in the future, we will get rich and promoted, and we will have a place to stay...... and there will be a place to glorify our ancestors......" Yang Liu said his plan, and his mood was much more cheerful, and he said with a smile.
"Sixth brother......" Yang Qi said anxiously. How can you go to Liaodong outside the Guanwai? Is that the head of the East Captive so easy to handle? In previous years, how many people died in our officers and soldiers? Isn't that enough? Sixth brother, I don't agree with you going over there, that is, to send death, we finally crawled out of the pile of dead, how can we go where to send death? "When the Ming Dynasty officials and troops were defeated in Liaodong, I don't know how many people were killed and wounded, they went to support the guest army, the dead died, the wounded, the fled, how many people did not dare to return home, for fear of the court to investigate, how many people fell into the grass, living a life of no matter the sky and the earth, now there is finally a hope, you can go to the south of the Yangtze River, away from this sea of suffering, but you want to go to the place of death, how can you not be in a hurry.
"Old Seven, this matter, the sixth brother has thought about it clearly, and has inquired clearly, now, it is the Son of Heaven who is recruiting the warriors of the hunter head, and the reward given should not be in arrears, I think this ten million taels of silver are willing to be willing, there is no reason to shorten our few silver rewards, don't you know your sixth brother's martial arts? It's not difficult to take old guys and brothers to get a few heads...... Hehe......" Yang Liu said that he was very confident when he talked about his martial arts.
"But, Sixth Brother, I still don't worry about you going, the Dongyu are all barbarians, and it ......is very dangerous to fight with them," Yang Qi said anxiously.
"Hehe, old seven wow, your sixth brother has inquired, this time, outside the gate is different from before, what kind of military management is implemented outside the gate, allowing my Ming soldiers and civilians to bring guns, knives to kill thieves, your sixth brother is even more heard that now there is a new type of musket in the interior, called 'made in the interior', you can get angry without lighting the torch, quite sharp, you think, more than a dozen of us, buy him dozens of this new musket, sneak to the back of the Dongyu, a musket, kill a few Dongyu, cut off the head and leave, with our ability, who can catch up with us? When we run to the territory of the imperial court, those Donglu will not dare to chase after it, this head, as long as we smoke cold and don't fight against Donglu, are we afraid that we won't be able to get a head? Now that there is no dog officer to command blindly, we can do whatever we want...... What are you afraid of......" Yang Liu said with a smile, as if he was secretly trying to get someone's head in the dark. ,
"But ......, this ......" Yang Qi was anxious, although he wanted to stop Yang Liu, but unfortunately, he had nothing to say.
"Sixth brother, really, really has such a good thing? Can Ouchi's latest musket be sold to us? Tsk, if there really is such a sharp musket, at night it is dark and touches it, and secretly puts a few shots on him, who knows, it is not the same arquebus as before, and we have to light the arquebus, and we will be seen from afar,...... If there really is this kind of musket, it is a good guy to steal a few heads that night, ...... good guys, take a cold breath and leave, with our skills, it is not hand-to-hand? "There are people who firmly support Yang Liu.
"That's, naturally it can't be wrong, I also heard that His Majesty also made a kind of grenade, which is specially used to defend the city, and when it is used, hundreds of them are thrown out together, and how many people die are coming, it is a very terrifying thing, I heard them say, even if it is a small fort now, as long as there is a grenade, don't want to take it easily, to take it, in addition to filling it with human lives, it is basically impossible to break it, hehe, so, I Yang Liu has this plan, when the time comes, I will get a head, and run into the city, what can those Donglu do to us? Wait for these two years to get some heads, save some silver, or get an official body, we will go to the south to live a stable life, wouldn't we be happy, and we will not practice this martial arts in vain...... "Yang Liu has always been a person who is not willing to be lonely, to die peacefully, I feel that it is always a pity, so I decided to go to Bo Yibo, as the song sings, if the heart is there, the dream is there, but start all over again, he Yang Liu is also bent on getting the lost official body back, there was no way back then, so he became a deserter, and now, you can start all over again, He, Yang Liu, has to try it no matter what.
"Sixth brother, let's go with you ......"
"Sixth brother, let's go with you ......"
β¦β¦
Yang Liu has a lot of prestige among this group of people, and there are not a few people who want to follow Yang Liu to hunt down heads.
"Sixth brother, but? We still have the old, the young, and the daughters-in-law, what should we do? You can't leave it behind, can you? Yang Qi said anxiously, there was no way, he had to take out the child and daughter-in-law.
"Hehe, old seven wow, this is also the place where your sixth brother asks you, everyone's wives and children, the old people in the family, it depends on you to take care of them, you take them to the south to settle down, and when we are famous outside the customs, we will go back, so that it will be beautiful,...... Hehe, I have received everyone's hearts, but there are not too many people who go this time, a dozen people are enough, and the rest of the people will follow Lao Qi to the south to immigrate, there are fewer men in our team who are afraid of others bullying us, Lao Qi, please leave it to you...... "Yang Liu is a person who says the same, and it is already a sure thing.
Yang Qi had no choice, and sighed a few times in frustration, which could be regarded as acquiescence, it was impossible for his sixth brother Yang Liu to repent of what he had decided.
"Sixth brother, I'll ......"
"Sixth brother, I'm going to ...... too"
"Sixth brother, take me with you......"
The crowd began to compete for these places.
"All right, old fellows, brothers, don't fight...... Whoever goes, I naturally have a ...... in my heart, those who go, follow me to Master Shi tomorrow to ask for a road, open a license, and when Yang Qi and them are gone, we will go to Liaodong......" Yang Liu said happily, as if a string of human heads were placed in front of him.
β¦β¦
On the edge of the Yellow River, in the dark, a burst of singing came, it was "Start Again".
"If the heart is there, the dream is in ......"
ββ¦β¦ It's just starting all over again......" a heroic song shook the night and the Yellow River.
[Wordy, this song is now sung in Mandarin, if you travel to ancient times, there is a problem with this song, that is, the problem of dialect, hehe, I don't know if this song is good to sing in Shaanxi dialect, will it change taste, if there are book friends in Shaanxi, you might as well try it, see what the effect of singing this song in Shaanxi dialect is, if you can, you can reply in the book review area. Hehe, crossing is risky, imitation needs to be cautious]
Guanwai, Liaodong, Shenyang.
This is the original Ming Dynasty Shenyang Wei, and now, it is the capital of "Dajin".
In the luxurious palace, a man in his thirties is anxiously looking at a letter in a daze, this man is red-faced, delicate, if it is not for a conspicuous outfit, ten will be considered to be a scholar, this is the Khan of "Dajin", Huang Taiji.
"Great Khan, what exactly does this letter say?" Next to him was a thirty-year-old Confucian who looked like a man asked.
"Kendou, see for yourself." Huang Taiji handed the letter to the Confucian student in his thirties next to him. ,
The Confucian took the letter and read it carefully, and the more he read it, the more bitter he felt.
ββ¦β¦ The emperor of the Ming Dynasty made a kind of thing that can carry people to the sky, I heard that it is as ...... as the large Kong Ming lantern, August 15 ......" This Confucian read the letter bitterly, and then said bitterly, sighing in his heart, if he Fan Wencheng was born a few years late, he would have met this holy son of heaven earlier, and it would not be a time, and now he has recently invested in Dajin, and then turned back, it is already impossible.
"Yes, Xian Dou, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, is very powerful, a few chess moves, all of them have been played to the critical point, Kong Ming Lantern that can carry people to the sky, Xian Dou, have you heard of the previous clairvoyant mirror? With this thing, the movement within a radius of dozens of miles can be seen at a glance...... in the future, I Dajin and the Ming Dynasty will fight, it can be said that the first battle has not been lost...... "Huang Taiji said disappointedly, I thought that the Ming Dynasty changed a hairy child who was less than eighteen years old as the emperor, and the Ming Dynasty would be in chaos for a while, and he happened to take the opportunity to expand his power, where he knew that the news from the Ming Dynasty that although the emperor was young, he was respected as the Son of Heaven, and what he did was extraordinary, and he thought that it was just a coincidence to bring down the nine thousand years old, and borrowed the power of the court Chinese officials, However, when some other things came, Huang Taiji felt more and more that things were not good.
Just a million taels of silver to disaster relief, Huang Taiji is breathtaking, at first I thought that the emperor was too tender, too naΓ―ve, whimsical, joking, joking, now it seems, it is not like that, it is said that the emperor has paid millions of taels of silver to the immigrants, not true but also true, and because of this, the emperor's reputation among the people, climbed to the top, in the Ming Dynasty, became the holy son of heaven praised by everyone, everyone will have three disasters and nine disasters, everyone wants to be rescued when they are in trouble.
Huang Taiji also paid more attention to the news of the Ming Dynasty, and now the news came to disappoint him, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, it seems that many of them are coming towards him, and seems to regard him as a great enemy, although he did not shout and shout to kill, and did not take millions of taels of silver to gather hundreds of thousands of troops to attack him, but, the more news came, the more frightened he was Huang Taiji gradually gave birth to the desire to expect the Ming Dynasty emperor to send hundreds of thousands of troops to attack.
