In Chang'an, Mu Haogu, the ambassador who returned from a thousand miles away, also brought news that the Taiping thief had rejected Zhao'an and detained all the members of the mission.
"It's good to refuse, it's good to refuse..."
Lu Xie, the prime minister of the consul hall, was coldly saying to his party members and allies.
"If this is not the case, how can you show the wolf ambition of the people behind him and the insatiable desire to swallow the sky? Let me go to see Lord Tian. Be sure to give all of the relationships in the presence of the emperor. Turn it over..."
However, after a few hours, Lu Xie returned from Da Nei with a little expression on his face, and severely reprimanded the left and right to never mention this matter. Because, in his ears, there was a rare voice from the father who was favored by the emperor who was close to him.
"Lu Zisheng, do you know what it means to take care of the overall situation? Even the miscellaneous family can't afford to take care of the big picture."
"If you say that the two Yang Youyu culture and thoughts, Zheng and Cui Ke are the pattern of Wang Shichong, then what has become of the miscellaneous family that has served since childhood, and what has become of the holy lord... Don't you dare to compare yourself to the scribes? ..."
"As the head of the minister, I still don't think about how to worship the emperor and support the military and the state's needs, but I have always been entangled in these relations of chasing shadows... Then I have no reason to stop Yang Fuguang's request and ask Zheng Wentai to come back and comb for the court. Financial planning."
"Since the beginning of the spring, the salary of the civil and military officials has begun to delay; Daying, the left and right Tibetan treasury have been unable to make ends meet, and if it is dragged on, it will even require the supply of the army and the expenditure of the gods... Something went wrong..."
"Aren't you trying to promote a great mission for the military? No matter what means and relationship you use to supervise it, no matter how old and windy he is, as long as you have a breath of power again, you must make the southeast wealth and peace. The offerings from all the Jiangnan provinces will be transferred to Beijing as soon as possible for me... Otherwise, I can only rely on admonitions and choose a good person to take on the great responsibility..."
As a result, he could only retreat in speechless and cold sweat, apologizing,
. . . . . .
Jiangzhou (now Jiujiang City, Jiangxi) is already a scene of boiling and hustle and bustle. With the rebel troops and banners that gathered one after another along the land and water, they directly turned the outside of Xunyang City into a crowd of people and horses. Ocean.
The camp formed by them leaning together is enough to stretch out ten miles along the river bank; however, there will naturally be dissents and disputes in places where there are people, let alone these scattered in Jiangdong and Jiangxi. Between the two Zhejiang provinces, the local volunteers from their respective origins are not in harmony with each other, and even have a lot of old grudges;
Then add the priority of the corresponding supply for the order of coming first, the size of their respective strengths, the old and new qualifications in the rebels, and the location of the camp, and the priority of the corresponding supply, it is necessary to involve a lot of right and wrong and grievances. Come.
Therefore, I don’t know how many contradictions and conflicts have been born every day, and it has even risen from group fights with fists to full-scale martial arts. Then before they turned around and wanted to use their bows and armors, they were bombarded by the patrol team from the general's mansion in the city.
And in the famous place on the riverside—Xunyang Tower, there is also a smell of dancing demons; between the stairs, terraces, and corridors upstairs and downstairs, there are people who are drunk or have red-faced, red-eyed and thick voices. ；
The inscriptions of famous artists such as Bai Juyi's "Ti Xunyang Tower" and Wei Yingwu's "Dengjun Zhijing Shi Zhu Ji Huainan Children", which were originally inlaid in the hall, were given to Congbi by those who were drunk. The board was removed, and it was used as a messy temporary table.
The top floor with the best location and view has also been sealed off for special banquets.
"What is peaceful and not peaceful, I really don't know what to promote...it was a waste of Huang Wang's heart... and there is even a face to be allied with the Huang Wang..."
As the deputy chief of the rebel army, Shang Rang hosted a banquet, someone yelled loudly.
"If Monk Xu really dares to come, I'll wait for Brother 39th Road, Battle Commander No. Hundred and Eighty, and drown him with a mouthful of foam..."
"That's right, what kind of monk Xu is? I heard that when he was in Guangfu, he was just a survivor who had no rest. Thanks to Huang Wang's appreciation, he was able to get ahead. Now he is so ungrateful. ."
"Administrator Shang was when Yahashan broke off the army, where was he... Now that he looks like a dog who claims to be the leader of the first army, Huang Wang invited him to stand shoulder to shoulder with the general manager, so he is not afraid of the cold of the old brothers. ..."
"It's okay to say a few words less, anyway, the food and grass of the General's Mansion at the moment is given by him... I can't say how much I will rely on one or two in the future."
There are also half-truths persuaded.
"What about that, even if he came, I would dare to say it in person. This little money is nothing compared to the huge chassis and benefits of Lingwai... Believe that I don't spit on him..."
"I can see it through. This guy is just a stubborn guy who can only follow the Yellow King’s army to pick up the bargain and make money... You don’t see that he hasn’t fought many of his officers, but he has already grabbed many brothers from the rear. The site is now."
"That's right, why we are working hard with the officials and the army, but his people can sit back and enjoy the benefits... just take some money, food, cloth, and we can replace the good things we desperately grab. ."
"Enough is enough, you are already drunk and talking silly things. It is true that midges have a shadow when they fly, and there is no impermeable wall in the world. When you say this to the ears of Huang Wang, do you think it is better... "
At this time, someone remembered the relationship and quickly stopped the conversation.
"Isn't it a waste of the manager's intention to entertain everyone..."
However, for these boastful remarks, Shang Rang, who was at the top, raised his brows, but did not say anything more according to his own temperament in the past. After all, after the Xinshu War, his subordinates were also severely injured. A dozen veterans were dead or disabled, and they had to pull the heads of new people in these places to make up the number.
And he also understood something in his heart. Most of the people present were newcomers who had never seen the kind-hearted and black tricks before; therefore, he just followed the meaning and atmosphere of the host of his banquet and followed up. Just some pleasing words. But his feelings about the situation here are also complicated and upset.
Although he was naturally a little bit angry and dissatisfied that the virtual monk was able to rank with himself as the deputy general manager; but after hearing that the other party rejected the kindness granted by the king of yellow, he was also somewhat grateful and relieved; however, the afterthought was the same Can't help but secretly boycott and speculate.
After all, this is something that I value, and the other party actually doesn't care about it, and it won't make people comfortable at all. What's more, the other party used to be an inconspicuous existence under one's own hands, and even had to rely on one's own to be able to stand out; now it has been repeatedly used to compare with one's own, how can it not be reconciled and convincing.
Or from another point of view, as long as the other party continues to get up and down, it will become more prominent and conclusive, and his criticism and controversy in the aspects of ignorance and lack of good talents will become more prominent and conclusive. Word of mouth. So in the face of Huang Chao who insisted on inviting the other party to join the alliance, he simply avoided the matter without seeing it.
After all, for an old Volunteer senior like him, other rumors and reputations can be temporarily put aside; only the people who are directly in the hands are the most safe and reliable place. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but float his vision to the surface of the distant river.
And at the estuary of the river, the newly rebuilt Rebel navy boats, large and small, were also decently training the formations on the water, and from time to time there was a vague shout.
"I am Sura, I am called the lucky Sura."
And on one of the old Chima boats that were gradually falling behind, a figure with a head wrapped in a worn-out leather jacket was also boasting, while drawing a pie with his hands.
"Because of all the difficulties and dangers you have escaped, you are blessed to follow me... As long as you obey my instructions, even if you want to drink and eat meat in the future, it is okay to change to a big boat. ..."
"So hurry up and give me a hard line, and I will have enough food to eat today with my team... Otherwise, I can only drink the porridge water from the bottom of the pot with me, and I don't even have the opportunity to roast the fire... Several times, let's go down. It will only get weaker..."
"Boat... Boat... Boat... Ah"
However, a skinny soldier swaying in the stern of the boat couldn't help but stammer and yelled.
"What is the boat, don't you hurry up and follow it... I just want to change a good boat in the future..."
Sura, who is in the right of the fleet, couldn't help but glared at him and shouted. .
At this time, the other people on the boat couldn't help but yelled, and then the team Zheng Sula couldn't help turning around, only to see the surface of the river from the southeast, there were many beautiful sail shadows.
"Boats, many boats..."
"It's not good, that's the official army came to attack..."
Because, on these seemingly huge armed warships, the Danyang Navy's flag was swayed impressively, and behind the baffle of the ship's sides were full of soldiers in armor and holding a bow and holding a crossbow.
At this moment, the navy's main fleet, which slowly distanced themselves from them, also blew the horns of encountering and opposing enemies one after another, and was slowly paddling in the forest with countless sails spinning and splashing water. Turned his head to make a forward-looking attack.
"Su Head, what shall we do..."
And on this lonely red horse ship, more than a dozen boatmen and soldiers, all focused their attention on the so-called Sura who was born and died countless times.
"It doesn't matter, our navy has many ships, and it is considered to be an upper-class homeopath... We only need to let the sailing route follow the brigade against the team..."
Sula, who was up and down in her heart, continued to comfort her.
So after half an hour, Sura, who had turned his way back due to his hustle and bustle, could only see the rebel ships that had passed them, and they had already fought head-on. The head of the ship.
Then, these navy ships transformed from civil and commercial ships were ruthlessly scattered, broken, and overturned during the collision and dislocation with the official warships; they brought the large ships on board. The screaming crowd fell into the river like a boiling pot, languid and fluttering with countless waves and foam.
"Don't panic, don't mess, this is just a small setback, there are still many boats behind us to fight..."
At this moment, Sula was already looking earthy, but she still emboldened herself to go down the road.
"You see that they have gathered together, the officers and soldiers can no longer impulsive..."
After a while, those official warships that had broken through the messy front of the Rebel naval divisions once again flew out many small rockets. Mi Mizaza ignited the rebel ships that were close together; and swinging sticks. The boats that tried to approach were swept over and smashed into the waves.
"It doesn't matter, we have a lot of people on the rebel ship, as long as we go on board to help... there is a way..."
But Sura still comforted himself and said with a crying face.
As soon as his words fell, the rebel ships that had gathered together and resisted suddenly broke out with a scream, as if they had suddenly lost their backbone, and began to row their oars desperately and fled in all directions.
"By the way, I don't know how your water quality is..."
These Sula, who had nothing to say, couldn't help but come up with such a sentence.
Then his men screamed loudly and screamed again, but there was a big river boat that panicked, rushing diagonally toward their little red horse boat, which was operated by more than a dozen people.
. . . . . . . . .
"What kind of grass thief navy army, they are just some chickens and dogs when they leave the shore..."
And on an official warship with colorful tigers riding the waves swallowing clouds on the bow, Li Baozhen, the navy envoy of the western Zhejiang navy and the envoy of the Danyang army, also called out loudly from the ship’s upper floor.
"The sons and men worked hard for me to kill thieves and make meritorious service, serve the court, and show these thieves how powerful they are..."
"As long as there is a Danyang navy in one day, the grass thief can't even think about crossing the river..." (End of this chapter)
