Han’s Son is Not a Slave

At the head of the city, a flag with the character "Ming" flutters on the five-foot-high flagpole. There are Ming troops stationed inside and outside the city, and flags of different sizes and colors are flying in the old and new military tents. Yingcheng Zuojin is now a big barracks, and there are soldiers and horses training everywhere. The sound of horses' hooves has never stopped. At noon, dozens of generals from other places have entered the city one after another, and there are still people rushing to Yingcheng on the road.

This time, Li Laiheng, Liu Tichun, Yuan Zongdi and others, Pan Yinglong, the **** of the Zhongzhen Camp, and Hong Yuao of the Ministry of Education jointly sent letters to each family, not only from the families from Kuidong, but also in the west of Hubei and the Three Gorges area. Some generals of the Thirteen Family of Shao Huang. The conference was originally scheduled to be held on May 10, but now it has been postponed for three days, in order to take care of those generals who are far away.

The last group to arrive was "Sun Duotian" Wang Youjin and "Daily Travel Hundred Thousand" Hu Jiusi, who came from Xingshan in Xunyang. After the Kuidong soldiers were rescued by the Taiping Army and entered Hubei, in order to expand their strength, Li Laiheng and Liu Tichun successively sent envoys to contact the thirteen Yaohuang families, and agreed to be allies to call for help and jointly deal with the Qing army in Hubei. The emperor abandoned the country, and the Taiping army wanted to support the Tang Wangjian in Guangdong. This was a big thing, so Li Laiheng and others discussed with the **** Pan Yinglong and the others. State affairs. At the same time, I also want to unify the anti-Qing forces of various departments in Hubei and Guangxi, at least in the form of a nominal alliance, so that regardless of whether they support Zhou Shi’s support of Tang Wang’s supervision, Hubei must have the ability to deal with the Qing army alone.

The composition of Yaohuang's thirteen clans is very complicated. Some of them are from peasant army rogues like Yuan Zongdi and the rest of the army. There are also local big landlords. Among them, Yuan Tao and Wu Dading, who are the leaders, are from landlord and local tyrants. That Wu Dading also worked as a part of the Ming Dynasty warrior He Renlong. After He Renlong was killed by Sun Chuanting, the governor of Shaanxi, Wu Dading led his subordinates back to his hometown to become a local bandit. After the Qing army entered the customs, Wu Dading led people to resist the Qing army in the area of ​​Santai Mountain in Sichuan. Later, he and Yuan Tao led the formation of the Thirteen Yaohuang Clan, while the Qing army had a unified contempt for them, that is, soil violence. son.

Thirteen families in Kuidong, thirteen families in Yaohuang, people from all walks of life like to call them thirteen families, not twelve or fourteen, but because the name of these "thirteen families" came from the peasant army in the eighth year of Chongzhen. Xingyang Conference. At that time, the leaders of the 13 peasant armies were in Xingyang, Henan. After that, no matter which way they went, but those who were not formed by the Ming army, they all liked to call themselves Thirteen, so it sounded louder.

When Wang Youjin and Hu Jiusi entered the city, they bumped into Dang Shousu who came from Yicheng, Xiangyang.

Dang Shousu is a veteran of the army. His parents died early, and he dropped out of school at the age of 20. He makes a living by driving donkeys to and from northern Shaanxi selling salt during the slack season. Once, the donkey and salt were confiscated by the salt officials, and they were detained by the salt officials for several days. In the "Old Eighth Team", Dang Shousu made many military exploits and rose all the way to the "mighty general" of the Dashun Dynasty. Li Zicheng was named "Zaihou" and ordered him to guard Lanzhou. Later, Li Zicheng was defeated and died, and Dang Shousu, Li Guo, Gao Yigong and others led the troops from the northwest to the south, and accompanied Mrs. Gao to the Ming Dynasty to fight against the Qing Dynasty. Because they were the marquis of the Dashun Dynasty and the fathers of the "Old Eighth Team" back then, Li Laiheng and Yuan Zongdi respected the Party Shousu, and their words in the Loyalty Camp also had weight.

Hu Jiusi had fought several battles with Dang Shousu and the Qing army in the fourth year of Yongli, which was considered a fatal friendship, so when he saw Dang Shousu, he immediately shouted: "Old Dang, Emperor Zhu Run away, what do you say, do you still do it?"

Wang Youjin also pulled his head to look at Dang Shousu when he heard the words. He knew that Dang Shousu was a senior in the loyalty camp, so his attitude was very important, and to a certain extent he could even influence the final opinion of this conference.

Dang Shousu grinned, pointed his horsewhip toward the city, and said, "I don't care if I do it or not, it depends on what Little Tiger, Yuan Zongdi, Liu Tichun and the others say."

After Hu Jiusi heard this, he smiled and said, "Your family, Chuangwang, was also an emperor. Now that Emperor Zhu has run away, this country has no master. We can't recognize that Tartar as the emperor, let's talk. You loyal camp never thought of appointing another emperor Li?"

"Fuck you, do you think this emperor is so good?" Dang Shousu shook his head, ignoring Hu Jiusi's nonsense.

"Yes, no matter what your loyalty camp says, we still do it. After so many years with Tartars, the blood feud has gone to the sea. If we don't do it, don't we give our heads to Tartars to chop. As for who We don’t care when we are emperors, we just don’t care about us anyway.”

Hu Jiusi laughed, whipped his whip, and galloped toward the city. Wang Youjin immediately clenched his fists towards Dang Shousu~www.NovelMTL.com~ and Dang Shousu rode into the city together, and he stopped talking about Dang Shousu along the way.

After entering the city, their own sergeant greeted them and brought them to the venue. The venue was the original Yamen of Yingcheng County magistrate. The meeting was already crowded with people, and the Qingshi Street outside the Yamen was also full of personal soldiers brought by each family. Some of them were familiar with each other and greeted each other. For this conference, Li Laiheng and the others were well prepared. The food and wine were prepared early, and there were people from each family to greet them, so they were not afraid that they would be unhappy.

At the entrance of the yamen, Hu Jiusi got off his horse with a shout, threw the whip to the guards, and told them to wait outside. After waiting for a while, Dang Shousu and Wang Youjin arrived together before entering together.

"Old Party, come back, just waiting for you!"

"Ri Duotian, why are you so late? Yesterday, my body was hollowed out by my mother-in-law, and I can't ride a horse?"

"Wang Youjin, didn't you ask for 100,000 daily trips? Why did we arrive long ago, but you were the last one?"

"..."

As soon as Dang Shousu and the others came in, a familiar leader stood up to greet them and joked. Dang Shousu and the others greeted them with a smile. The high-hanging plaque in the county government office had long been smashed, and all the insignificant things in the lobby had been removed, otherwise it would be impossible for hundreds of people to sit there to discuss matters.

Li Laiheng, Liu Tichun, and Ta Tianbao saw Dang Shousu coming, so they hurriedly signaled him to come and sit. Hundreds of people were in a mess, but they were very particular about where they sat. The rest of the army in the Zhongzheng camp sat on the right, and the Thirteen Yao Huang family and some other leaders sat on the right. The two sides were clearly separated, but However, they chatted happily with each other. If there was no urgent matter to discuss immediately, I am afraid that most of them would have to go for a drink on the spot.

Yuan Zongdi gave Liu Tichun a wink, and Liu Tichun stood up and said, "Everyone in charge, please be quiet. Since everyone is here, let's discuss the business." (To be continued.)
