However, in an inconspicuous house in Luoyang City that day and night. The table is full of sumptuous dishes such as fresh vegetables and fruits, chicken, duck and fish, but almost no one touches it and makes the soup solidify quickly; just let the people sitting around drink different tastes with the muffled sound of one cup after another. Wine.
Among them are Lanlingchun from Yanzhou in Huaishang, Xianglou wine from the land of Weibo in Hanoi (Hebei), Tukuchun from the local Xingyang tribute in Dugui, Fushui wine from Yinzhou in Huainan, and even Lingnan specialty. Lingxi wine and fashionable cane head burning. Over the years, it has grown into old and new wines with different tastes and different prices; here, it is like drinking water that makes people wait and become more and more blushing under relative silence.
It wasn't until a figure with a cold wind suddenly pushed in the curtain involuntarily, that the people who were drinking in the dull atmosphere suddenly raised their heads, and the complex eyes of expectation, worry and helplessness were gathered at the same time. On the body of the coming person. But it was the Kongmu officer of the East Capital Left-behind Division, Zhang Cunjing, who was born in Haozhou; only when he took off the big cloak and strode into the cold, he touched his mouth and said loudly:
"The news is confirmed. The left-behind has already decided to check the treasury, continue to buy food from the Taiping Army and borrow other things..."
"So, will you have to live a tight life again?"
"It looks like you have to eat canned food to survive again?... This is really..."
"In this way, doesn't this army rely heavily on the south, but don't know what interests it is going to give up..."
"Could it be that everyone managed to defeat Cai Thief, and in the end the biggest benefit is still to make wedding dresses for others..."
"How can this be good? I have heard that Hu (zhen) Yamen, Xu Tang, Li Hui, Wang Wu and others have advised several times to stay behind to imitate the Taiping Army. As it is!"
Suddenly, with these complaints from them, an indescribable feeling of pessimism and disappointment filled the air, and even the hot drinks in the mouth became tasteless.
After all, if today's Eastern Capital Army only increases the purchase of canned food and portable rations, it means fighting, and even actively preparing for the war; it always gives people the opportunity to share the benefits through the spoils and captives. But if you purchase a large amount of ordinary food, it is a preparation for famine preparation, disaster preparedness, and follow-up relief to the people. This also means that most people have to return to the difficult days of limited rationing.
Although for ordinary soldiers and small chiefs, it is a good thing to be able to eat canned meat and vegetables every three to five during the non-war period. But for these generals and officials who were born in Henan and had a good life for the past two years, they are far from enough.
But what worries them even more is the meaning behind all this. The Taiping Army in the south is getting stronger and stronger, and the relationship between the army and it will inevitably be getting closer and closer. In addition, the Daqi new dynasty, which may weigh and contain its power in the pass, is also in danger, and people have to think about some things that may happen in the future.
Although the Taiping Army has always given preferential treatment to the old rebels under the name of the new dynasty of the Qi Dynasty, and even given various degrees of opportunity to open up the Internet, and from the past and old correspondence that have some roots, you can feel the corresponding The credit and reputation are quite good.
For example, as long as the hands are not contaminated with people’s blood and debts, or have the reputation and guilt of blatantly cruel and tyrannical places. After allowing them to surrender the trilogy and the place they occupy, they can take their wealth accumulated for many years and Luo Kuo, together with their wives, children, and family members, and choose to settle down in Dayi, a relatively prosperous and prosperous city in the south.
But to be honest, as a person who can achieve a little after so many unpredictable changes in the troubled world and the circumstances of survival from the dead; if it is not the last moment, who is willing to hold a person who is enough to rely on himself Hand over with the site, and become a rich man who has no power and power but can only be sent under the fence or rely on his nose
We must know that in the years that they have gained a firm foothold in Henan, they did not rely on the Hukou field that was contributed by the land, but sitting on large tracts of fertile fields and beautiful houses under their name, and they were able to feed their money, and the family was able to nurture them. Groups of concubines and slave servants serve daily life, and they are full of chariots and horses.
And to abandon these directly related benefits, gains and losses; even if you rely on the soldiers and horses in your hand to be stationed in the garrison place, is it not beautiful to enjoy the various direct and indirect conveniences and many potential benefits brought by authority? Even if you don't have to do anything, it's great to be awed and admired with the majestic daily life. So all the pros and cons of all this are even more indispensable.
"Or, how about we also co-branded to leave behind to make a statement... Ask him to think twice,"
Only after they complained and vented for more than a long time, someone made a suggestion:
"What's the use of this! Is it possible that you can make food out of thin air, or you can make equipment in the treasury..."
Someone immediately denied it without hesitation:
"That's better than not saying a word. At the worst, it can make the left behind understand what everyone's intentions are..."
Others echoed:
"Even so, it's not useful or helpful... Now that they are left behind, they are the children under the command. Can they still let them do things empty-handed when they are hungry?"
Others hesitated and entangled:
"This is a corresponding method after all? It can be delayed for a while, maybe there will be new opportunities and variables at that time?"
More people are centered and muddy. . . .
However, after the banquet of Shangzhongtian finally dissipated that month, he served as the host of the reception and banquet place; he was named Mr. Shulou with the collection of thousands of books in his home, and was one of the old divisions of Liu Yunzhang of the former eastern capital branch. Li Ting, a scholar of Hanlin and Zhongshushe, and now recruited as one of the chief officials, sighed in disappointment:
"Zhuzi is not enough to be a conspirator, cowering and hesitating like a whisper..."
"It's all a group of soft guys who have lost their spirit and courage by the easy days, let them complain to the left-behind by the old and sell the old, and swear them to be agile. But if you want to do more, just talk about him in every way. The excuses and courage of the people..."
Zhang Cunjing, who was wearing a moonlight, sent the guests back, but coldly hummed with contempt:
"Since I understand that I can't count on the people of this generation. Then I have to rely on my colleagues and tribes from the local area. After all, the Taiping Army may be able to treat the old members of the rebel army in their old feelings, but not necessarily Will you easily let go of the local tyrants of his generation?"
Li Ting sighed more and more after hearing this:
"It is for this reason. If you don't want to be led by your own muddy legs, you will be humiliated by people who are indecent and sweeping; you can only put aside the suspicions and disputes with us, and think about saving yourself in the future. Self-help..."
Zhang Cunjing nodded and said with some understanding:
"Actually, I heard that the old brothers in the left-behind army still have some resolute disapproval of the actions of the Taiping army, but they have always had a low reputation and acted in a low way..."
At this time, another local scholar, Liu Chonglu from Huazhou Huang (now Yanjin, Henan) who was present as a guest, suddenly spoke:
"But who is it?"
Li Ting and Zhang Cunjing could not help but ask in unison:
"I heard about it when I was drinking and making friends with the former army generals. That Ding Dujiang from the left Changzhi Capital was from the old storm camp. It is said that he was taken over by the monk that week and lost power. Since the people who left alone in the place where the tides followed, they were only fit to stay behind until they had been under the command of General Manager Shang... Therefore, few people know about it..."
Liu Chonglu recalled with confidence and hard work:
—I am the plot dividing line —
At the edge of the Weishui River in the Gyeonggi area of Kannai-do, Empress Cao could only lie on her horseback in sorrow and helplessness, trying to protect the child tied in front of her from being knocked down; and behind her Continuing to ride the horse to follow, only a few rides are left.
Precisely because they were too formal before, it caused a series of follow-ups. The commander of the Western Army who was stationed actually wanted to make friends with this noble "internal envoy" who was ordered to go to Lintong. However, no matter how it was covered up, it was inevitable that it was exposed.
It was naturally easy to kill those rangers off guard and rob the officer; but being alarmed to send out a police sentry and blockade the enemy camp at Dongwei Bridge, it was beyond their control and influence. Therefore, after only half an hour, there were chasing soldiers who got the warning, and they caught up one after another.
It’s just that although they tried their best to arrogate the suspicion formation, or toss and turn between the field and the official road, to get rid of wave after wave of chasing soldiers who were alarmed, but they waited for a moment to escape. After that, there will be new chasers looking for their tracks, and they will reappear in everyone's field of vision.
In this repeated process, it is no doubt that people will inevitably become more frustrated and desperate. Especially when the rangers who are suspected of Fanhu are also added to the chasing sequence, the tricks and methods they originally used to get rid of the other party seem not enough.
But what made her even more concerned was the words of the owl guard who had previously led the chasers away. It wasn't until the last moment of life and death that she knew that the other party had already secretly joined the Taiping Army earlier, and she frankly told her that if she had a chance in the future, how much she would like to take care of her family members in the south.
And when the other party said such things, among the guards she selected, there was not much surprised expression; instead, several people stood up one after another, showing similar attitudes one after another, and were willing to attract and chase south. The soldiers’ attention creates opportunities for them to escape.
However, the chances obtained with their lives could not last long. The mounts mounted by individual owl guards stalled one after another and knelt to the ground; then they did not hesitate to take down the saddles of the horses that could not be struggling. The sword soldier, and then walked into and crouched in the ditches and grass on the side of the road, becoming a spontaneous defensive line left behind.
However, Empress Cao and the last few followers couldn't run far. Suddenly they felt that the sky was spinning around like everything was rolling, rolling in the dust. (End of this chapter)
