Chapter 546: Zeng Guoquan is loyal
"You're looking for death!" As if he was humiliated, Zeng Guoquan's face turned red and roared loudly, everyone else can descend, but he can't!
He is Zeng Guofan's younger brother, he has fallen, what should Zeng Guofan do? The court will inevitably be guilty, and the Zeng family will also be implicated, and the lightest result is that they are constrained, and the military power is gradually stripped away, because the court allows the Han people to take charge of the military power alone is a pure way, as long as there is a little truth, they will not hesitate to peel off, just like Zeng Guofan A few years ago, just because of the words of the ministers, the governor of Hubei of Zheng Erpin was lost.
But if you don't follow, it is a rebellion, although the two brothers tacitly support the army and stand on their own, but now is obviously not the time, first, the situation is not clear, and secondly, the court has no loss of morality, and there are still many people who support it.
And Zeng Guoquan also studied science, deeply influenced by science, in his mind, there is no Huayi debate, orthodox only the Qing Dynasty, even if the Qing Dynasty is not good, the Mandate of Heaven is transferred, it is also moved to the hands of powerful ministers and nobles like them, in short, the Mandate of Heaven will never favor the Democratic Alliance!
What is the identity of the Democratic Alliance? Don't respect Cheng Zhu, deviant, is a lowly combination of a group of mud legs and businessmen, all dynasties, never heard of businessmen and farmers can achieve hegemony, even if Zhu Yuanzhang is not good, but what he represents is also the interests of the gentry and landlords, just him Wang Feng? Do you still want to be fated to be a god?
I have to say that the battle for Taoism can sometimes make people willing to die, Zeng Guoquan would rather fight and die to save his name, and even his heart has a tragic and desolate spirit, Wen Tianxiang, Shi Kefa and many other heroes who would rather die than give in, the tall and majestic figure appeared in his mind!
"Shameless in the annals of the millennium. A piece of Dan's heart is worth sweating! Suddenly, Zeng Guoquan showed a fierce color. With a finger of the gun, he shouted: "Miss your first offense." Ben Shuai spared you once, and rushed out! Follow Ben Shuai to be loyal to the emperor! ”
To Zeng Guoquan's surprise, everyone stood still, and no one in the original army responded to his call, after all, not everyone has the consciousness and need to be loyal, in fact, in the eyes of many soldiers, the war between the Hunan army and the Democratic Alliance is just a civil war, how can there be any name? Victory is naturally best, defeat. There is no humiliation in surrendering, anyway they are not the first army to surrender to the Democratic Alliance, nothing more.
In an instant, Zeng Guoquan's face turned pig liver red, he felt like a clown, and the audience was more than a thousand subordinates.
"Smack!" Zeng Guoquan took an insurance top, and said angrily: "I really think that this handsome man will not dare to kill you? ”
"Enough!" A sturdy general rushed up from the side with the butt of his gun and hit Zeng Guoquan's wrist with a click. The gun fell to the ground, his wrist was broken, and Zeng Guoquan snorted and took a few steps backwards.
"Up! Tie up Lord Zeng to the Democratic Alliance Army! "In the dark, several people rushed out. tied Zeng Guoquan up with his hands and feet, and pushed him out.
"Lord Zhao, you are going by yourself. Or did the brethren take you away? A few more people surrounded Zhao Liewen, who was not good.
Let's be honest. Zhao Liewen once had a trace of loyalty to Xianfeng, but his situation was a little different from Zeng Guoquan's. He does not have a prominent status, and he is not a beneficiary of the Qing Dynasty, so it is inevitable that he will hesitate, not to mention that for the time being, life and death are not up to him.
"Hey~~" Zhao Liewen sighed and walked out
Wang Feng has already descended to the bottom of the cliff, although he is discouraged, he is still in a very happy mood, first of all, he has removed a mine, and there is no need to worry about attacking Guangzhou, and secondly, the surrendered Hunan army, all of them have a fierce expression, strong body, and they are obviously the elite selected by thousands of people, and it is not strange to think about it, the lone army has been lurking for months, and the elite soldiers have long been scattered.
"Commander-in-chief, the last cave has come out." Li Xiucheng was reporting something to Wang Feng, and suddenly pointed not far away.
At the end of the hole, people walked out one after another, and several of them, escorted by the soldiers of the Democratic Alliance, walked one foot deep and one foot shallow.
"Report to the Commander-in-Chief!" A soldier saluted: "His name is Zeng Guoquan, and he is the commander this time." ”
"Zeng Guoquan? That's a big fish! Wang Feng looked over, about the age of his early thirties, his eyes were disdainful, and he looked at Wang Feng coldly.
Wang Feng asked, "Whose idea was to build a dam?" ”
"Humph!" Zeng Guoquan looked at the sky with his head held high, and snorted coldly: "If you want to kill or chop, listen to the respect, why talk nonsense!" ”
Zhao Liewen took a step forward and arched his hand: "Under Zhao Liewen, the deputy marshal of the Senate and the military, the dam building is out of the next policy, but unfortunately it was broken by Commander Wang." ”
"Hmm~~" Wang Feng nodded, looked at Zeng Guoquan again, and said with a gloomy smile: "You don't have to pretend to be righteous and awe-inspiring in front of me, I didn't plan to let go of your Zeng family, you are the first, followed by Zeng Guofan, your brother, son and nephew!" Come on, shoot by the river! ”
This is to raid the family and destroy the clan, Zeng Guoquan didn't understand where Wang Feng's hatred for the Zeng family came from, and couldn't help but look at Wang Feng, you know, the two armies are fighting, and it is normal for them to be killed and injured, this is not hatred, but to the point of raiding the family and exterminating the clan, it is obviously a deep feud in the sea of blood, he can't understand when the Zeng family has a grudge with Wang Feng.
However, Wang Feng didn't explain, and watched coldly as several soldiers pushed Zeng Guoquan towards the riverside, and one of them shouted: "Kneel!" ”
Zeng Guoquan snorted again, his head was raised higher, this man didn't say a word, raised his leg and kicked him hard at the crook of his knee!
"Plop!" With a bang, Zeng Guoquan knelt down suddenly, the mud was splashed everywhere, and he was about to stand up, but the two soldiers immediately stepped forward and pressed his shoulders tightly, unable to move, and another raised his gun and fired!
"Bang!" The muzzle of the gun flashed, and Zeng Guoquan collapsed in the mud, and then the two lifted his body, shook it twice, and threw it into the river.
The Hunan army was all stunned, they didn't expect Zeng Guoquan to die so neatly, they couldn't even find the body, and they didn't expect Wang Feng to kill Zeng Guoquan without even blinking an eye.
Wang Feng looked at Zhao Liewen again and asked, "I've heard of you, you are a little talented, are you willing to surrender me?" ”
"This" Zhao Liewen hesitated for a moment, and then said: "What about the fall?" What if it doesn't fall? ”
Wang Feng glanced at Jiang Shui and said: "Don't fall, Zeng Guoquan is your end, the premise of surrendering to me is that you must publish an article in our "Xinhua Daily", refute science, and systematically expound from many aspects such as history, reality and harmfulness, you are a scholar of science, and the refutation will be more profound than ours, I believe that you will not recognize the true face of science, and I also believe that you will not be able to see the poison of Chinese civilization clearly, I hope you can stand on the position of the nation and take it seriously, Untie the shackles that have bound the minds of the Chinese for nearly a thousand years, and if you agree, I will secretly send someone to bring your relatives to Nanjing for resettlement. ”
Zhao Liewen did not answer immediately, fell into a fierce ideological struggle, he studied science since he was a child, studied Cheng Zhu, worshiped Zeng Guofan as a teacher, and deeply understood that science is his cultural belief, Wang Feng forced him to give up cultural belief, he was unwilling from the bottom of his heart.
But Zeng Guoquan's tragic death suppressed him, after all, he was just a scholar, and he had not yet reached the point of seeing death as home, and Zeng Guoquan was powerful and powerful, and there was too much involved in surrendering, he had no other choice but to be loyal to Xianfeng, but Zhao Liewen was at best a staff member of Zeng Guofan, and surrender would not have much impact on his relatives.
Gradually, the balance in Zhao Liewen's heart began to tilt towards surrender, he was only twenty-five years old, he had a virtuous wife, a babbling child, and a white-haired old mother, he was the top pillar of the family, if he was killed by Wang Feng, his whole family would lose their relatives, and life would be in trouble immediately.
You must know that this time the whole army was wiped out, and Zeng Guoquan was hit, as well as the five thousand elite soldiers of the Hunan army, and the strategy came from him, Zeng Guofan would not embarrass his family, how could he give a generous pension?
It's just that the only thing he feels a little guilty about is his teacher Zeng Guofan, which is equivalent to betraying his teacher.
If you are not filial piety, how can you stand up, and how can you show your ambitions? Teacher, students can't stop it! Zhao Liewen secretly sighed and said with a wry smile: "Liewen is willing to obey Commander Wang's dispatch." ”
"Okay, Zhao Liewen, I believe you won't regret your choice today." Wang Feng patted Zhao Liewen on the shoulder hard, then turned his head to look at the captive, and after a brief glance, he called: "Brothers of the Hunan Army, there are also many Hunan people in our Chinese Democratic Alliance Army, they fight bravely and are disciplined, forming an indispensable part of the main force of our army, many people have been promoted because of merit, and the highest has become a division commander and brigade commander!"
As the commander-in-chief of the Democratic Alliance, I welcome you to join, and we will try our best to solve your worries, of course, it may be difficult for some people to make such a choice, I can give you some time to think about it, if you really don't want to, then, after the capture of Guangzhou, you will be released unconditionally, but I hope you can make a decision as soon as possible, because the longer it drags on, the more difficult it will be for your family to take it out.
I won't say much nonsense, as long as you don't run away and don't make trouble, we will treat each other politely, I hope you can see with your eyes, judge with your heart, think seriously about your future, and now we will all go back! ”
There was a whisper among the captives, due to the geographical isolation of the Hunan army, the middle and lower-level soldiers did not know as much about the armed forces of the Democratic Alliance as detailed as the armed forces in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, in addition to knowing that this army was strong in combat, the rest was from the Qing court to smear and scandalize, such as brutality, killing, adultery with women, raiding homes and exterminating clans, bullying subordinates by superiors, and so on.
But judging from Wang Feng's words and the neat and orderly order of the Democratic Alliance forces around him, it seems that this is not the case, you know, you have always treated the pawns, either kill or forcibly recruit, and have never been so polite, if there is a conspiracy, it is simply impossible, life and death are in the hands of others, do you still need to calculate you? To put it mildly, even if the Democratic Alliance ordered them to charge into battle as cannon fodder when attacking Guangzhou, they had to obey!
"I do, I want now!" On the spot, more than half of the people raised their hands, willing to join the Democratic Alliance! (To be continued......)
