Zhang San was scolded for being a fast-moving agent. Mr. Huang Shijie, Mr. Huang, and Mr. Zhang Dingxiang ran in happily.
"Provincial Governor, I heard that the Imperial Envoy has someone coming from Saitang?"
"Provincial Governor, has Saitang agreed to recommend Xiaguan and Huang Ziying?"
Huang Shijie and Zhang Dingxiang have been working like crazy to make money for their team training these days. The opium dens, gambling stalls, brothels, and businesses in Daozhou City... no matter how rough the roads are and how hard the backstage is, they are all being used. They took the group drill and harassed them all with Governor Wang's letters and tickets.
In short, it just means that you are trying your best to make money, and you will be able to survive after this.
Mr. Huang also did a good job in organizing people to form a group. In a short period of time, the number of people in the group training has been increased from 300 to 1,200. Although 200 people were assigned to protect hundreds of family members and servants heading to Changsha. Go, but there are still thousands of people staying in Daozhou City!
Zhang Dingxiang's attempt to recruit Yu Wanqing's old troops to destroy Qing was not very successful. The green battalion soldiers there were all organized and refused to train as a regiment. In the past two days, more than a dozen of Yu Wanqing's subordinates came back one after another, one of whom had a guerrilla title. , the official is much older than Zhang Dingxiang.
However, the group training with thousands of people was enough. Both Huang Shijie and Zhang Dingxiang felt that Sai Shang'a could definitely recommend them to a bigger official.
However, Wang Kueyi's words greatly disappointed them, "Ziying, Mr. Zhang... Saitang already knows about your loyalty to the court. He wrote to you two great leaders in his letter to me." He added praise and said that as long as we defend Daozhou, he will recommend you with a discount!"
"Still, do you still want to defend Daozhou?" Huang Shijie's face turned green. "All the 2,000 green battalion elites from Yujunmen were defeated... How many of us are there?"
"Damn it, what kind of imperial envoy is this? What kind of foreman is the military plane? Why are you so confused?" Zhang Dingxiang scolded directly, "Prince Wang, we can't listen to him!"
Wang Kui quickly waved his hand to shut up the two regimental training leaders who raised their tails when they had some troops: "Don't be impatient, Saitang is not an unreasonable person, he just asked us to stick to Daozhou for a few days... ...He has ordered Xiangjunmen and Liu Zongzhen to lead five thousand troops to rescue Daozhou. Now the reinforcements are on the way. Within five days, Zhang Guoliang, the vanguard of Xiangjunmen, will arrive!"
"Fifth day, this..." Huang Shijie was a little moved. It is always good to be able to defend Daozhou.
However, Zhang Dingxiang still shook his head: "Prince Wang, the people in the city have been unstable these past two days, and the long-haired army came in two groups again..."
As soon as Wang Kui saw that Zhang Dingxiang was the only one who was determined to escape, his face darkened and he spoke in an official tone: "Here is Saitang's note. Mr. Zhang, are you going to disobey me? Saitang also said in the note , Changmao went south to enter Guangdong and connect the ocean. If we can't block Changmao in Daozhou, Changmao will collude with the Westerners in Guangdong, and may even invite soldiers from the West and England to help in the war. Then the world will be in chaos. .
This responsibility...can you, a little boss, handle it?"
ah......
Are Changmao and the English colluding?
Are they that powerful?
Huang Shijie and Zhang Dingxiang were both dumbfounded.
One of them had a family business in Guangdong, and the other had participated in the First Opium War, so he knew how powerful the British were.
This long hair...is it supported by the British?
Yingji's foreign guns are very powerful. It seems that Daozhou will definitely not be able to defend it!
...
Not long ago, Zhang Sanzhang, the head catcher who had just rolled out of the Daozhou Yamen, had changed into casual clothes and led two of his men, sweating profusely, through the stormy Daozhou City, and transferred to In an inconspicuous alley.
At the entrance of the alley, there were already several men with pigtails on their heads and short coats, revealing two thick, tanned arms full of sinew. These men also had two peace knives openly stuck in their trousers. His eyes are particularly fierce, and you can tell at a glance that he is carrying a life-threatening red stick!
However, Zhang Sanzhang was not here to arrest anyone. He folded his thumb on his right hand, stretched out his other three fingers, and made a gesture on his chest. Then he took out a white paper fan and opened it with a snap. Hong Guan immediately made way for a passage, and then each of them clasped their fists and saluted.
Zhang San put away the white paper fan in his hand with another snap, picked up his robe and walked quickly into the alley. Several of his followers followed quickly, guarding him as he flew into a broken courtyard.
There were many strong men squatting in the yard. When they saw Zhang San walking in, they all jumped up and looked at him with burning eyes. Zhang San glanced around and asked in a low voice: "Where is the deputy hall master?"
One of the men with blue dragons and white tigers tattooed on his arms stepped forward and cupped his hands: "Strategic Advisor, the deputy hall master is having a meeting with the thirty-sixth road incense master."
Zhang San laughed a few times, then strode towards a large room with a closed door. Without knocking, he opened the door and walked in. Inside the door was a very deep and wide hall, in which were placed There were many benches with dozens of people sitting on them, all with their backs to the door. Only a desk and three chairs facing the door were placed in the deepest part of the room, on which sat Jiao Hong and two figures respectively. A bulging woman.
There were many candles lit in the hall, but the lighting was still not very good. Jiao Hong and the two women did not see the person coming clearly. One of the women even asked loudly: "Ming Dynasty and Qing Dynasty rebelled, mother earth and father heaven, outside Which way will your friend find his way?"
Zhang San said loudly: "Sister-in-law Yuegui, what time has it been? What kind of incision code do you still have?"
"Is it Commander Zhang?" The woman was stunned, "Why are you here? Could it be the government..."
Zhang San strode inside and said, "That stupid official Wang Kuiyi said that our brothers from the Heaven and Earth Society are going to rebel!"
Jiao Hong slapped the case and shouted angrily: "He's right! We just want to rebel!"
The woman who was called "Sister-in-law Yue Gui" also said loudly: "That's right, the Taiping Army's 100,000 people are about to attack Daozhou... Our thirty-sixth incense masters are also gathered here Here, if you don’t do it now, then when?”
"That's right!" Another woman also snapped, "If you go all out, the worst thing you can do is get yourself chopped off, and eighteen years later you'll be a good man and a good woman again!"
Zhang San has already walked to the desk, which originally had a flag of "Marshal of the Armed Forces" on it. In the darkness on the left and right, there are several strong men holding eyebrow-level sticks.
The two women looked very similar. They were both in their twenties. They were both wearing embroidered red satin jackets on their upper bodies, and red trousers on their lower bodies that were easy to move around. They also applied a little makeup, and they looked a little bit different. Separate looks.
These two are a pair of sisters. The older one is named Xu Xianggui, who is the wife of Jiao Hong, and the younger one is named Xu Yuegui, who is the wife of Hong Daquan. Their father's name is Xu Zuochang, and like Hong Xiuquan, he is also a A low-level scholar who failed to pass the examination as a scholar. However, Xu Zuochang did not go to "worship God". Instead, he joined the Tiandihui and became the leader of the Tiandihui in Chenzhou. His two daughters married Jiao Hong and Jiao Liang (Hong Daquan). ), can be regarded as a good match.
Jiao Hong, Jiao Liang (Hong Daquan), Xu Xianggui, Xu Yuegui, and their White Paper Fan military advisor Zhang San, had long planned to welcome the Taiping Army into Hunan and rebel together. Jiao Liang (Hong Daquan) went to Guangxi in person The remaining four people secretly contacted various Tiandihuixiangtang in Daozhou to accumulate strength and prepare for the uprising.
However, when the Heaven and Earth Association rebels, there is always a bit of chaos. A bunch of hall masters and incense masters get together and talk nonsense. They will not make up their minds until the government notices and is about to destroy them.
Zhang San probably felt that the atmosphere at the scene was not tense enough, so he said again: "Sister-in-law Xianggui is right! Wang Kuiyi, a dirty official, has ordered a group training camp to arrest us... If you don't fight back, , I’m afraid I’m going to get stabbed a thousand times!”
Now all the "Thirty-Six Road Incense Masters" in the hall were in a panic.
"Reverse, reverse!"
"If you don't do it, you'll die! If you don't do it, you'll die... It's better to do it!"
"Rebellion...anti-Qing Dynasty and restoration of Ming Dynasty!"
"It's not about resisting the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty, it's about ushering in peace... Kill the demons of the Qing Dynasty, slaughter the evil gentry, open the city gates to welcome peace, and peace comes to divide the fields!"
