For Liu Ziguang, Lanzhou is a city full of hostility because there are very few Han people here. The Red Shirt Army cannot experience the feeling of being welcomed by the common people, but looks at it with indifference and hatred. Because Liu Ziguang banned business, the city
Most of the livelihoods have been cut off, and only the taverns are crowded with laid-off swordsmen who are drunk. The city's security is improving rapidly, fights are frequent, and even attacks on the army often occur.
Therefore, Liu Ziguang made great efforts to rectify the public security, confiscated spears, halberds and crossbows. It was strictly forbidden to carry swords with a length of more than one foot in the city. Fighters were severely punished. This had some effect for a while, but Liu Ziguang knew that wherever there was oppression, there would be oppression.
If there is resistance, it will not work to rule Lanzhou with high-pressure policies. The only way to calm down these citizens who are not my race is to give them a complete rest.
Lanzhou has a population of 100,000, of which less than 20% are Han Chinese, and most of them are from the lower classes. The political and economic affairs of Lanzhou City are in the hands of the Turkic Uighurs. The Red Shirt Army peacefully liberated Lanzhou, and the city was not poisoned. The strength of these big businessmen and powerful
Still, if they wanted to cause some trouble, it would be too easy.
In the past few days, all the merchants in the city have jointly signed a petition, asking the court for mercy to restart the trade route, but Liu Ziguang remained unmoved because the ban on trade was a national policy. In order to attack Xixia, someone had to make sacrifices. Besides, these slick merchants were not reliable in the first place.
If they were allowed to travel freely, they would not be able to inform the Xixia people, so Liu Ziguang accepted the gift and did nothing, and sent him away with just a few random words.
The city is very peaceful. Under the high pressure of the Red Shirt Army, even the brave swordsmen dare not show their faces easily. They can only fight and cause trouble in the taverns outside the city. Today there was a fight at the Longmen Inn outside the city.
Liu Ziguang had already heard about the hundreds of casualties, not only because there were swordsmen carrying hundreds of heads to collect the reward, but he also heard the detailed report from the Tiandihui.
At this time, Dai Wenpei had been arranged in the back house of General Lanzhou, who conquered the West. Dong Xiaowan led two maids to personally take care of Dai Wenpei's daily life. It is said that the identities of the two women were quite similar. Dong Xiaowan was
Dai Wenpei came from a middle-class family in Suzhou, but later fell into prostitution. Dai Wenpei came from a martial arts family. To be precise, he was involved in the underworld, and his level was not high. They were both Liu Ziguang's concubines. Compared with other princesses, queens, Khans, and other golden branches,
The two of them have more in common.
Liu Ziguang Zhengxi originally had no women around him. He was served by a few clumsy soldiers who ate, drank, and dressed. After all, men were not as careful as women. Ever since Dong Xiaowan came to Lanzhou, Liu Ziguang felt this deeply. In fact, Dong Xiaowan was not only more careful than women
The man is attentive, even compared to those good wives and mothers. He cooks, washes clothes and takes care of the children. He even works as a secretary, copies documents, holds a lamp and adds wax. Liu Ziguang is busy outside for a day and returns to the house.
Hug his goddaughter, eat some snacks and drink some wine, and sleep with the charming Dong family in his arms at night. For Liu Ziguang, who is thousands of miles away from home, Dong Xiaowan is indeed very important.
Not to mention Dai Wenpei, the regular spokesperson of the Tiandihui. No matter where the Red Shirt Army went, the heroes of the Tiandihui would follow them to collect information and survey the terrain. Sometimes his role was even more important than that of the South Factory.
It needs to be big, and it all depends on Dai Wenpei to manage it.
In the back house, Dai Wenpei and Dong Xiaowan were sitting and talking. Although they cherished each other, they were still secretly competing. When talking about their contributions to the master, they couldn't stop talking. One was Wu Nongruan.
Language, one is an authentic Beijing movie, every word you say and I say makes the sky dim and the earth dark.
In terms of eloquence, Dong Xiaowan is slightly better. He said that now the master has thousands of troops, and he is not inferior to people like Tiandihui. Moreover, Dai Wenpei, as the master’s woman, often shows up and goes through life and death. This is not helping but adding trouble. Just think about it.
If Dai Wenpei is captured by the enemy, wouldn't it give the enemy the capital to blackmail the master?
Dai Wenpei was said to be speechless. He was at a disadvantage for a while. Just as he was not convinced, suddenly a soldier came to report: "The commander-in-chief has given orders. There is fear of war tonight. Please stay indoors and don't go out."
.”
This is the city of Lanzhou. It is thousands of miles away from the Xixia people. How can there be war? And from this tone, I am afraid that the war will happen in the city. Dong Xiaowan was so frightened that his face turned pale, and Dai Wenpei's face
A proud smile appeared on the person's face: "Sister Dong, don't be afraid. I'm here to make sure those thieves can't hurt you even a hair."
Liu Ziguang has received reliable information that the big businessmen in the city are plotting to plot a riot. They have smuggled a large number of weapons into the city and bribed thousands of idle swordsmen. When the time comes, all he has to do is enter the city empty-handed and collect the weapons from Yuchi Guang.
They rebelled, and they also contacted some frustrated officers in the surrendered army. When the riot started, they would take the opportunity to mutiny and turn against the red shirts.
There are only a total of 10,000 red shirt troops and 5,000 returning troops available near Lanzhou, and they face tens of thousands of caravans and swordsmen with rich combat experience, as well as 100,000 railway troops with unstable military morale. The desert
The horse thieves who were caught may also come to join in the fun, and this battle will be very difficult to fight.
After Yuchiguang discussed the details of the uprising with the leaders of several other large caravans in the city, he returned to his mansion to meet Qijian. As a businessman traveling in the Western Regions, Yuchiguang naturally knew the name of Qijian and also knew that these seven people would
What a great help it brought to his actions. As soon as he got home, he didn't even have time to change his shoes, so he ran to the small courtyard where Qijian stayed to pay a visit. When he came to the door, he met a servant at home delivering food. Yu Chiguang put the tray of food on it.
He took it and personally delivered food to Qijian.
Yuchiguang has one advantage, that is, he is a polite corporal and has no airs of a rich man. He respectfully brings food and wine to the table and refuses to leave. He personally serves tea and water to serve the heroes.
Without leaving the room, the other six people sat at the table to eat. They didn't realize that the older servant in front of them was Yu Chiguang himself. They just sent him back and said that he didn't need to serve him. How could Yu Chiguang be willing to leave?
He said that the master had told him that he must serve the distinguished guests well, Liu Jian no longer showed humility, and had dinner under Yu Chiguang's service. Yu Chiguang called on other servants to take away the bowls and chopsticks, but still refused to leave. Only then did Fu Qingzhu get up.
He was suspicious and asked: "Who is your master?"
Yu Chiguang then smiled and said, "I am Yu Chiguang."
This move is still very touching, even veterans like Fu Qingzhu are moved, not to mention the other five swords. When everyone talks about the current situation, they all frown. When the Ming Dynasty and Xixia fought, it was the common people who suffered, and Liu Ziguang
The ban on merchants was even more excessive. Not only did it cut off the livelihood of tens of thousands of merchants, it also ruined the lives of millions of people in the Western Regions. The supply of brick tea in the Central Plains was cut off. The people in the Western Regions did not have no tea to drink. It was just that they never had to drink tea.
The brick tea transferred from Mongolia from Tubo must be several times or even more than ten times more expensive. Since brick tea is a necessity of life, no matter how expensive the people are, they have to bite the bullet and accept it. All of this is Liu Ziguang's fault.
Speaking of sadness, Yuchiguang couldn't help but shed tears and said: "Yuchiguang's heart is not only about money and wealth, I must think about the brothers who follow me, as well as their wives, children and children. I am not from Xixia, nor from the Ming Dynasty.
I'm just a bastard raised by the people of Shazhou. It doesn't make any difference to me who becomes the emperor, but one thing is that the emperor must love the people as his own son, otherwise, no matter how powerful he is, I will rebel!"
These words were so overwhelming that Liu Jian was moved again. Master Fu Qing said: "Mr. Yuchi, we are here to help you. Just tell us what you need to do."
Yuchiguang was overjoyed and told the plan in detail. At the end of the sentence, his stomach suddenly growled. Yuchiguang said: "I'm just kidding. Because of tonight's big event, Yuchiguang hasn't eaten all day."
What kind of spirit is this? As a multi-millionaire, running around for the welfare of the public, he didn't eat for a day. He must have suppressed hunger when he served Liujian for dinner just now. Everyone sighed together, and when Yuchi Guang left
Later, Han Zhibang said: "Old Fu, do we really have to do this?" Master Fu Qing said: "Yu Chiguang is a good man, but we must do this." His tone was firm, and the other people not only sighed, but also packed up their weapons.
The riot is going on tonight. Liu Ziguang knows that the legendary Seven Swords of Tianshan has entered Lanzhou City, and has also gone to the home of Yu Chiguang, the mastermind of the rebellion. This gives him a headache. He and the Seven Swords have a small misunderstanding, but it has also risen.
Not at this height
, you have nothing to do but talk about something and take revenge. Helping foreigners deal with the imperial court is nothing. You really have no national consciousness at all.
Although the Red Shirt Army is already an advanced army with all thermal weapons, it is still a little frightened to deal with such a master among seven martial arts masters, and many people may die, so Liu Ziguang made an unprecedented move and asked the army to take out all the armor and put it on.
, hoping to reduce casualties, and sent extra manpower to defend the back house, because he knew that his only weakness was Dong Xiaowan and Dai Wenpei.
The riot went on as scheduled. At midnight, fires suddenly broke out everywhere in the city. Countless swordsmen emerged from the streets and alleys, heading towards the march of General Zhengxi and the station of the Red Shirt Army. There were also explosions in the railway barracks outside the city.
People shouted: "The Han people are going to bury us alive!" The soldiers were in chaos, some fled in panic, and some picked up weapons to resist. Once the people with ulterior motives were tempted, tens of thousands of people followed and rebelled.
Yu Chiguang wore a golden chainmail and charged forward with a Persian sword. Thousands of swordsmen followed, and they rushed to the camp of General Zhengxi. A row of gunmen stood on the wall of the camp.
, all carrying wheel-type five-shot rapid fire cannons, and behind the gate squatted a large group of red-shirted soldiers, with bayonets densely packed like a forest. As long as Liu Ziguang gave an order,
, they would rush out and massacre.
But Liu Ziguang did not dare to do this. Now he could only rely on the cover of the wall to kill the enemy with firepower. If he rushed out and engaged in a fight, it would only increase casualties, not to mention that the enemy still had masters like Seven Swords.
Liu Ziguang stood on the gate tower of the camp, pointed at Yuchi Guang and said: "I advise you to rein in the situation quickly and not go further on the road of opposing the people. Lanzhou City has been the sacred territory of the Ming Dynasty since ancient times. Do you think that relying on thousands of people?
Can desperadoes separate Lanzhou from the Ming Dynasty?"
Yuchi Guang was dressed in gold armor, and the surrounding torches illuminated his face with a red light, and his beautiful beard was also raised. He raised his riding whip and shouted to Liu Ziguang: "You are wrong, Lanzhou City is not the Lanzhou of Xixia, nor is it the Lanzhou City of Xixia.
The Lanzhou of the Ming Dynasty was the Lanzhou of Lanzhou people. No one is qualified to occupy our homeland, enslave our people, and cut off our livelihood! Today, I, Yu Chiguang, will rise up and seek justice for the people of Lanzhou and the Western Regions!
"
Although the rough swordsmen behind Yuchi Guang could not understand the profound speech of the big boss, they could always hear that the words were impassioned and inspiring, so they all raised their knives and screamed wildly. The momentum increased for a while, and outside the city
The shouts of killing also started, and the flames shot into the sky. The sky in Lanzhou turned red, as if the air was burning.
Liu Ziguang placed a howitzer behind the gate and was aiming at Yuchi Guang. He saw that it was almost time and was about to give the order to fire. Suddenly, a man behind Yuchi Guang drew his sword and stabbed him. His movements were unimaginable and pitiful.
Yuchi Guang died before his ambition could be fulfilled. Even his chain mail could not block the sharp sword. He was stabbed to the core. He turned around and found that the person who killed him was none other than Master Fu Qing, one of the Seven Swordsmen!
"Why?" Yu Chiguang only had time to say these three words before Fu Qingzhu pulled out his sword. He was very cunning and penetrated his lungs. Yu Chiguang could not speak, his lungs were filled with blood, and his mouth was full of blood.
He vomited blood, staggered, fell off his horse, and passed away with this eternal question.
"Yu Chiguang is dead, and you won't be able to capture him without mercy!" Fu Qingzhu raised his sword and shouted, but the swordsmen around him were all the confidants that Yuchi Guang had raised for many years. When they saw their master being killed, they didn't get angry on the spot, so they fired dozens of swords at Fu Qingzhu.
Cutting off, six swords out of the seven came. As soon as Master Fu Qing moved, the other five people also moved. Six different swords started killing in the crowd, and blood and flesh flew everywhere wherever they went, which was breathtaking:
Fu Qingzhu's Mowen Sword is long and flexible, with endless changes and unpredictable moves. It specializes in hurting people with the sword's energy. If the sword does not reach the person, they will fall. Chu Zhaonan's Wandering Dragon Sword is indestructible. The sound of the sword moving is just that weird audio.
It can knock other people's swords away. Yang Yunxuan's Qinggan Sword is made of meteorites. It is extremely blunt, but its hardness is amazing. Even the Wandering Dragon Sword can't cut him. It is also radiant when it is swung, and the enemy cannot see the blade.
His life was lost. Han Zhibang's Sheshen Sword was huge, giving people the feeling of opening up the world. No one could match it wherever it went. With one strike of the sword, even the wall was broken. The swords of the other two people, Mu Lang and Xin Longzi,
They also have their own tricks. The Sun-Moon Sword that combines two swords into one and the Star Sword that can fly out to kill people are simply too creative compared to those traditional swords in the Central Plains.
Six swords flew among the swordsmen, killing them until they cried for their fathers and mothers, unable to fight back. The red-shirted soldiers on the wall were dumbfounded. It turns out that killing can be so exciting, let alone them, even
Liu Ziguang was also dumbfounded. Aren't these guys here to deal with him? Why did he suddenly turn his enemies into friends? Could it be that his character is too good?
