"If you want to know what happens next, please listen to the next breakdown." Under Zhou Wenchang's shocking sound of "snap" again, the first time of the storyteller Bai Yinglie's biography was finished. After finishing speaking, Zhou Wenchang went back to the camp, and the storytelling stall was naturally guarded by soldiers, not to mention anything else, but the broadcast above was a great treasure.
After talking about it for the first time, but the audience who was immersed in the world of the book was still reminiscing about Wang Qinian's thrilling episodes of saving his comrades and killing soldiers in the Korean royal city, and only when Zhou Wenchang disappeared did they come back to their senses, and they were looking forward to the next time to start quickly. After eating at noon, Zhou Wenchang saw a little, so he came to his morning stall again, and began to say the second time, this time the big guy knew that the bronze bell on his bookstall was a sound amplifier, and he was no longer afraid of that huge sound, but those who were far away still thought that the sound of the horn was not loud enough, Zhou Wenchang said that it was important, and the whole family was silent, for fear of missing a word.
The people of the whole city are immersed in the story of the heroic Wang Qinian created by those scholars under Liu Boyuan, and their fear of beards has weakened a lot, in the afternoon, many people who are far away from hearing will string the door to the house of Zhou Wenchang's storyteller, the second day, the teahouse and brothel next to the storytelling stall have opened their doors, and the guests inside are full, and on the third day, half of the shops in the city will start to open, and after the fifth day, not only the people in Zhangyi City will come to listen, Sixty miles away in Fengtian City, there are some book lovers who come to listen in sedan chairs.
Seeing that Zhangyi City became more and more lively day by day, the people in the political department were relieved, and the case list this time was quickly written into a report and archived, and some of the experience was also summarized for use next time. It's just that when they were happy to solve the gap between the soldiers and the people, Zhou Wenchang's words were collected by people with good intentions. Not only did the political ministry not stop this, but also happily sent out the previous few times, in their opinion, the more people know, the more detailed they know, the better.
Chengde County Yanei. The old scholar Mr. Liu came to complain with the book of Changbai Yinglie's biography that he had copied in the past few days. This Chengde County in the late Qing Dynasty did not mean Hebei Chengde, but Shengjing City. The Manchu Qing Dynasty has always followed the principle of "division of the banner and the people", and since the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, Fengtianfu and Chengde County have been established to handle civil affairs, which refers to the entire eastern Liaodong boundary. The city of Shengjing is only called Chengde County, where the Chinese people are under the jurisdiction of Chengde County, and the banner people are under the jurisdiction of Shengjing, and General Shengjing is the highest official in the entire Liaodong. This pedant Master Liu is just an old boy, and the relationship is completely unattainable, so he had to go to the Chengde County Ya to complain. Of course. He couldn't see Master Ma in the county order, he could only see Master Song in the county office. Master Liu is not surprised that the county order does not come forward, this Chengde county order is not an ordinary county order, the county order of other counties is generally a seven-grade official, and this Chengde county order is a six-grade official, counting the entire Qing Dynasty, only the two counties of Daxing and Wanping under the Shuntian Mansion in the capital and Qufu County, the hometown of Confucius, have this honor. It's really a high county.
"Master Song, the thief is now in Zhangyi City to confuse the public, it has been nine days, there are many foolish people, the Changbai heroic martyr has only said the seventeenth time until now, but there are fifty-one violations in it," Master Liu took the thick script he copied, as if he was holding an advanced stepping stone, which was not only thick but also material, and said to the key place. His voice became louder, "What's more, he even bluntly talked about the secret things of the court, using the "truth" and "secrets" as bait to deceive the foolish people into believing the truth. This is really damned! How can the major affairs of the country and the secrets of the DPRK and China be publicized in public! ”
Master Liu said righteous words, but Master Song didn't have the spirit to listen, this Master Liu he knew, it was a harm in Zhangyi, and the people over there didn't dare to provoke him, and he had some secret things to tell from time to time, which was very annoying, but no matter how tired he was, he couldn't show it, Chengde is the Northeast Mansion, the bigger the place, the more business travel, the more chaotic the public order, without these dense scattered scholars loyal to the imperial court, then this place will be chaotic.
When Master Liu's performance was almost over, Master Song cleared his throat and said kindly: "What Master Liu said is already known to everyone, and I will hand this book to Master Ma later." Seeing that Master Liu was still staring at him, he immediately knew that he had missed a word, and immediately added: "I will definitely say that this book was handed by Master Liu, and in the future, the court will definitely remember Master Liu's merits." ”
When Master Liu saw Master Song say the last sentence, he was relieved, he ran more than 60 miles in the wind and snow to come to the county office, didn't he just want to get a confession. Hearing that Master Song remembered his merits, Master Liu's somewhat sluggish spirit suddenly cheered up, and he saluted vigorously and said goodbye.
Master Song waited for Master Liu to leave, but immediately handed the book to the county order Master Ma, this Master Ma's real name is Ma Junxian, Gengzi was the governor of Liaoyang after the year, but during his tenure, he was accused of corruption and dereliction of life, so he was demoted from the five-grade Zhizhou to the six-grade Chengde Zhixian. Master Ma took the notebook, and after reading a few lines, he was also attracted by the story inside, and only waited for it to be read once before he gave up. He asked, "Old Master, who did Liu Xiucai sue?" ”
Master Song replied: "What he told is that this Changbai heroic martyr biography violates the ancestral system of this dynasty fifty-one times, and it is even more vain to talk about the internal affairs of the court, and then look at the entire script, there is a suspicion of misleading the public." ”
Master Ma just watched it energetically, read a section and wanted to read the next section, to the point that he didn't pay attention to any violations, and now I heard the master say that this book is a demonic rumor, and if you think about it, it's really true, especially to say that a bandit is a hero, it is really a bad intention. He asked: "Since it is against the ancestral system, then the county will let ......"
Seeing that Master Ma actually wanted to send a servant to arrest someone, Master Song immediately stopped him, but he knew the joints, and he said: "Master no, absolutely not." This should have been made up by the king and bandits of the mountain carving, and deliberately hired people to tell stories in Zhangyi City, in order to spread his reputation for benevolence and righteousness, and now his department is bought by the Russians. ”
Hearing that the Russians were involved in it, Master Ma was shocked, and his scalp was a little numb. In this land of Liaodong, the most important thing to be an official is not to be on top of foreigners, once foreigners protest. The loss of official affairs is small, and it is common to cut off the head, not to mention anything else, just say that his former acting governor of Liaoyang Prefecture, Chen Yanshu, was dismissed because he offended foreigners. He immediately tossed the book in his hand aside. said slightly, "Then don't take it." ”
Different from Master Ma's disposition, Master Song had other ideas: "Master, this mountain carving is a giant bandit in Liuhe County, if you copy out those things in the script, polish one or two." It can be promised to the enlarged person, and it is also a credit to explore the bandit situation in this way. ”
I didn't expect this to be used like this, Master Ma stroked his beard and laughed, "Okay, good!" That's a credit. Then ask the old master to copy one or two of the bandits, and the county will hand them to the adults on a certain day. "And so on a day later. The official version of the Changbai bandit was passed to the mansion of the Fengtian general Zengqi.
It was freezing outside Fengtian City, but General Shengjing Zengqi was shrinking in the conservatory of the inner mansion and swallowing clouds and mist, and the master next to him whispered everything about today one by one:
"The magistrate of Tieling County came to report that the Russians built a fortress for the outside of the city, forcibly recruited 1,869 people, and demolished the bricks and stones of the city wall......
The enlarged man who was reclining on the soft bed and smoking a cigarette gun waved his hand weakly, and the master immediately stopped. This Russian thing is just a song, and even the court can't manage it, so he went on to say the next:
"A call from the Military Aircraft Department, the more intense the war between Russia and Japan, Fengtianfu should strictly observe neutrality, in case the armies of the two armies injure the Fu and Zhao Tombs......"
This is a big deal, this tomb is buried for the Qing Emperor Nurhachi and his queen Yehenara, this tomb is on the bank of the Hunhe River more than 20 miles east of the city; And Zhaoling is buried with Emperor Taiji of the Qing Dynasty and his queen Borzigit, this tomb is ten miles north of the city. The Manchu Qing Dynasty had a total of three tombs outside the customs, and there was another tomb that was Yongling. There are buried the sixth ancestor, great-grandfather, grandfather, father and others of Nurhachi, this mausoleum is far away from Fengtian, it is near Xingjing Fort.
The war between Japan and Russia was fierce, and the capital heard that the Japanese had used a huge cannon when they were in Lushun. This kind of cannon is extremely powerful, and if it goes down, it will erode dozens of miles, killing and wounding thousands of people. According to another secret report, this kind of giant cannon has been transported north to Shengjing with the Japanese from Lushun, only to wait for the Japanese army and the Russians to start a war in Shengjing after ten months, this kind of bombardment cannon will be aimed at Shengjing City, although the second tomb of Fuzhao also built a city wall for protection, but no matter how strong the city wall can not withstand the bombardment of this giant cannon, Zhaoling is fortunately, it is in the north of the city, and Fuling is in the east of the city, is in the defense area of the first Russian army, so the imperial court once again ordered Zengqi to ensure the safety of the second tomb of Fuzhao.
Very reluctantly, the enlarged man motioned to the maid to remove the smoking gun, and then said: "Didn't the people of this day inform them some time ago, and they can't fire like a mausoleum." ”
The master didn't dare to answer for a while when he heard this, and after a long time, he saw that the adults started smoking again, and when he was about to finish his mouthful, he whispered: "My lord, the Japanese have protested to us a few days ago, saying that our ** people are funding the Russian army, and the independent bandit army under the command of the Russian army is ......."
"Didn't you say that the Russians recruited it themselves?" I am easy to fool about everything in the Qing Dynasty, but it is the most difficult foreign affairs, especially the most difficult foreign affairs outside the customs, and every time the people hear that the Russians and Japanese people are going to blow up their heads, this time I am very annoyed to see the scum of the Japanese and the independence army. Since Yang Rui led his troops from Liuhe County to Mukden before the end of last year, the Japanese have frequently protested, and the imperial court has always replied that this army was recruited by the Russians themselves, and it is the same as the Manchurian Volunteers recruited by the Japanese. However, the Japanese were still not satisfied, believing that as long as the Qing court could strictly enforce the law, then the soldiers recruited by the Russians would disperse on their own.
In fact, the Japanese overestimated the role of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, if they were in the Guannai Prefecture, perhaps after a proclamation, after a stern appeal, this gang of Diao people might disperse a lot, but outside this pass, hundreds of years of banning made the Manchu Qing extremely careless management of this place, and the authority of the imperial court was limited, especially now that the Russo-Japanese War started, many beards popped up, and the influential ones were four. Among them, the most powerful is this independent bandit army, it is said that its army has 40,000 or 50,000 people, and all the soldiers are extremely brave, some time ago it was actually rumored that this army annihilated a town of the Japanese regular army, as soon as this news came out, the whole country was in an uproar. There are those who rejoice, saying that we Chinese also have a strong army, which is gratifying; Those who are worried say that after the war, the army will not be able to lose its tail, and the northeast will not be peaceful from now on.
In addition to this independent army, there are also three units: the Manchurian Volunteer Army, the Black Mountain Old Demon, and the Fuxing Army, especially the Fuxing Army, which is actually a group of anti-thieves, whose comrades were arrested in the Shanghai Concession the year before last, but because of the protection of foreigners, Ling Chi was not executed. For the Manchus, the most taboo was this revival army, which had already mobilized troops to exterminate it last year. It's just that the revival army has the smallest number of people, only a few hundred, and its whereabouts are erratic, and the troops sent to encircle and suppress have not found a root hair for several months, which makes the military aircraft department very dissatisfied with Zengqi. But dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction, there are Russians behind Zengqi's back, and the court does not dare to do anything with him.
After the head was blown up, he no longer wanted to hear anything about foreign affairs, and waved his hand to signal the master to read the next one.
The master originally wanted to report the matter of the independent army again, but he didn't want to hear it anymore. I had to skip to the next one, "Zhang Xiluan from Dongbian Road came to report that the Tonghua Railway Company will lay the foundation stone on the 18th of next month, and the principal of the railway company still hopes to ask for a pair of ink treasures...... Now 50,000 taels of moisturizing pens have been sent. ”
Finally hearing the good news, Zengqi's legs couldn't help but shake with joy, "Oh." This is a good feeling. Go back and write him a copy. ”
Master felt to write it down. Hurriedly took advantage of the happiness of the adults to report another matter: "Chengde County ordered Ma Junxian to report that the independent bandit army after the war was resting in Zhangyi City, and he sent several dead soldiers to infiltrate the bandit camp to obtain a copy of the top-secret military information, and he has now inherited it. ”
"Top secret military report, what does it say?" The adult didn't seem to have a headache because of the Independence Army, he asked lazily.
"The above said that it is the past of the bandit Wang Qinian, the bandit of the bandit army, and the inside story of the leaders of the bandit army." The master replied cautiously. I didn't dare to mention foreigners at all, for fear that adults would blow up their heads again.
But fortunately, the lord didn't think much about it, and only said, "Then expedite this top-secret military situation for 800 miles to the military aircraft, and after the Russo-Japanese War, whether it will be appeased or suppressed depends on how the imperial court decides." ”
The master hurriedly responded again, and was about to explain when he was stopped by the adult, Zengqi said: "Tell me to go down and dig a big hole in the backyard." ”
The master didn't know why, and it was not easy to ask what this pit was for, so he had to ask, "My lord." This pit...... How to dig? ”
"What a stupid person, didn't the Russians dig a big pit to avoid the Japanese artillery, and now they all say that the Japanese bombardment cannon will erode dozens of miles when it comes over, for safety. You have to dig a deep pit in the backyard, the deeper the better. ”
The master wanted to laugh at the adult's sudden thoughts, but he still held back, but he heard that the Russians used a lot of ash in their battle bases, but even if there was ash, they still couldn't stop the bombardment cannon, and it was useless to dig a pit or not. But since the lord had told him, he could only do it, and he answered it, and then went out gently. After a while, the secret report of the Changbai bandits adapted from the biography of the Changbai heroes and martyrs went to the capital from 800 miles of fast horses.
The influence of the formation of the legend of the heroes and martyrs of Changbai is getting bigger and bigger, the teahouse opposite the storytelling stall is full every day, and the masters of the rich families have already sent their families to line up there from the morning, for these old men, the most attractive is in addition to those pink jokes that describe the beard and women who are lustful but not lewd, and want to talk about it, is the "truth" and "secret" of the court revealed in the book. It was also very enjoyable to ponder the intrigue of the various factions in the court at that time.
And in addition to these old men, those men squatting on the side of the street, but they are very yearning for the righteousness of the beards, and the deep love of life and death, especially on that day, when it comes to Chen Yongren, the good brother of the king of the mountain carving, in order to make the brothers stand out surrounded by the Yi soldiers, they were seriously injured and died with the Dongyi people with gunpowder bags, at that time, the men all over the street cried, which is called righteousness! This is the real brother! From that day on, many men walked into the recruitment office set up outside the city.
Everyone was happy, the pedant Master Liu's face was getting more and more ugly day by day, at first he was still very proud to look at the group of spectators gathered in front of the storytelling stall, just thinking that as soon as the court soldiers came, he tied up this gang of people together, and the head of the head was killed and the family was raided, and he will be rewarded by the court for his report, but the days passed, and the commentary was finished again, and he didn't see any movement in the court until he copied it to the thirty-first time.
Master Liu was disheartened, but he didn't have the pride he had before, so two days later, but two men in black came up to find him, Master Liu didn't know why, looked at this group of white Ding and asked proudly: "Who are you waiting for, looking for this... What is the matter with people? ”
The people who came to see Master Liu's attitude just smiled, "I heard that Master Liu has the whole book of the legend of the heroes and martyrs of Changbai, can you take a look at it from the contemptible?" After he finished speaking, he seemed to be able to guess that Master Liu would ignore it, and immediately conjured up a few official posts from his hand.
Master Liu wanted to drive out these foolish people, but the person who came showed the official post, his eyes suddenly couldn't be taken off, he was cold for ten years, after all, his talent was limited and his luck was not good, he was just a show talent for decades, and it was okay to be a private school professor earlier, but in recent years, Xinxue Xingsheng private school has closed, and his annual income has been reduced by more than half, and now it is difficult to move his eyes when he sees money. The person who came smiled when he saw Master Liu's appearance, and suddenly Master Liu only felt that the person who came seemed to be a woman.
"As long as Master Liu lends me the first dozens of times of the Changbai Heroic Martyr's biography, then the money is yours." The person who came said this, and his voice was extremely beautiful and pleasant.
