Two groups of people were fighting, and both sides were scholars. At this time, Deng rolled up his sleeves and started beating each other. The fight continued until my nose was bruised and my face was swollen, but I still refused to stop.
"Traitor! Lackey!"
"Rebellion, madness, corrupt scholar!"
The Zhejiang soldiers guarding the gate of Weiyuan Fort watched with great interest, and even openly shouted loudly to place bets. They Qiuba were very happy that these usually elegant and superior scholars were defeated at this time.
.
"General Wang has followed the trend of the times and joined the new dynasty. You corrupt scholars are crazy, but you still go against the trend and want to pull General Wang into rebellion. You really don't know how to live or die, and you don't want to harm others." The man who claimed to be Xie Sanbin's disciple
The three young men obviously couldn't beat the two people opposite them.
Even though there were three against two, they were at a disadvantage.
The two people on the opposite side became more and more courageous as they fought. They raised their fists and smashed them like raindrops. While doing so, they cursed, "You people have read to the stomach of dogs, and you still have the dignity to wear scholar's clothes? What did the Ming Dynasty give you?"
Have you eaten all your rice into the dog's belly? You yourself have no shame and surrendered to the bandits. Now you have the nerve to persuade General Wang, and you still want General Wang to send troops to kill the righteous people. Bah, we are ashamed of you.
It’s even more shameful for you to be a fellow thief from the same hometown as you!”
It turned out that the five people fighting in front of the fort were not only fellow villagers in Yin County, Ningbo, but also classmates at the county school. They were all talented scholars who received six dou of rice per month.
But he said that after Xie Sanbin refused Lin Shidui and others' request to come to preside over the cause of justice that day, he felt uneasy and sent people to follow Lin Shidui and found that they were conspiring with Qian Sule, Zhang Huangyan and others. He felt deeply that something was wrong, but hurriedly
He sent his disciples and servants to Dinghai with money, hoping to ask Wang Zhiren and Zhang Mingzhen to lead troops to Ningbo Fucheng to capture the rebels, and even help him wipe out Yuyao Sun Jiaji and other rebels.
Unexpectedly, Xie Sanbin only thought about power and keeping money, but he did not expect that his grandchildren would be shameless of his behavior. After knowing this, his eldest grandson Xie Weilin immediately ran to Qian Sule's house and told the truth.
Of.
Xie Weilin's behavior was greatly praised by Qian Sulelin, but he also felt deeply in danger.
Hua Xia and Wang Jiaqin, two of the last six crazy students, volunteered to come to Dinghai to find Wang Zhiren, while Zhang Huangyan expressed his willingness to go to Shipu to find Zhang Mingzhen to persuade them not to help the tyrants.
This task was very dangerous. After all, both Wang Zhiren and Zhang Mingzhen had ostensibly accepted the Qing court's appeasement and submitted to the new dynasty.
But all three of them said that for the sake of the great cause of their family and country, they could disregard their personal lives.
Resolutely embarked on the journey.
Hua Xia and Wang Jiaqin rushed to Dinghai all the way, and while waiting in front of Weiyuan Fort, they met the student servant sent by Xie Sanbin.
The two Hua Xia people had long disdained Xie Sanbin as a human being, and hated him even more for being a hypocrite. They secretly wanted to kill the righteous men, so the two sides disagreed and started fighting.
The two of them were from the same hometown and classmates, and they had a good relationship in the past. However, in the stormy and troubled times of the Ming Dynasty, the two sides were in opposing camps.
The three Chen Xiuchen could not defeat the two Huaxia people, and their followers were ordered by the pacesetters of Weiyuan Fort not to interfere in the fight between the scholars, so they could only worry on the side.
"Captain, these are all rebels who want to rebel. Please take them down. It will be a military achievement." Chen Xiuchen retreated in embarrassment and asked for help from the pacesetters guarding the gate.
But a group of rough soldiers from Zhenbiao Camp were enjoying watching the show and were not willing to interfere.
At this time, one of Wang Zhiren's servant captains came out of the door. The guarding soldier quickly stepped forward and saluted, "Well done, Captain Wang."
Captain Wang looked at the polite and polite scholars in front of the door and smiled disdainfully, "Fellow scholars, I have an invitation from the military sect."
The two Hua Xia men then stopped their hands, straightened their clothes, and entered the castle calmly.
Chen Xiuchen covered her bleeding nose and said angrily, "I heard that a crazy student came to scold General Wang the day before yesterday and accused General Wang of joining the Qing Dynasty. As a result, General Wang had his head chopped off with a knife. How dare you not know this?
Life or death is coming to your door. For the sake of your classmates, I advise you to run away quickly. It is important to save your life."
"Pooh!"
Hua Xia spat at Chen Xiuchen. The two were originally classmates, friends, and even relatives. However, at this time, Hua Xia deeply hated each other, calling him a "boneless coward."
Chen Xiuchen was angry and gritted his teeth.
The other two people said, "When Mr. Wang cuts off their heads later, let's see how crazy they are!"
Under the leadership of the general of the Jingding team, two groups of scholars came to the hall.
As soon as they entered the hall, they saw Wang Zhiren sitting high on the throne, dressed in military uniform, with a sword on his waist, and full of murderous intent.
On one side of the hall, there were several people sitting.
Wang Zhiren looked at a few people with bruised noses, swollen faces and even messy clothes, and asked with a cold face, "Don't you know that this general has received a new order? You are so brave, and you still dare to come to my door, and even dare to fight in front of my door.
?”
Seeing this, Chen Xiuchen was a little pleased with his misfortune and said quickly, "Student Chen Xiuchen is from the Chen family in Yin County. His family ancestor was once the Minister of Household Affairs in the Tianqi Dynasty. The student worshiped the former Tai servant Shaoqing Xie Gongmen. He was thirteen years old."
The scholar, who was ordered by his master, came to pay a visit to Junmen today. A group of rebels emerged in Ningbo City. They intend to raise the flag to rebel and cause chaos. My master asked Wang Junmen to send troops to quell the rebellion immediately."
"My master and the gentry in the city have prepared ten thousand taels of silver for the general's salary. In addition, my master has also prepared a thousand taels of silver as a thank you gift for the army."
Wang Zhiren frowned. This scholar with a bleeding and crooked nose was very unqualified. He actually said this in public. Even if he gave a gift, it was a private transaction, and there was no way that everyone would know about it.
Hua Xia spat at Chen Xiuchen again, interrupting him.
"I heard that the general has been favored by the country in his life, and the wise brother often died in national disasters, and the world is looking forward to it. People with lofty ideals believe that the general is just hiding his power and biding his time, waiting for opportunities. How can he really surrender? Today, the Ming Dynasty still has half of the country in the southeast, and even more so in the Central Plains.
People are thinking about the Han Dynasty, and the key to the East China Sea lies with the general, followed by General Huang of Zhoushan, then General Zhang of Shipu, and General Wu of Haimen. We sent out elite troops across the country, and the mountains and seas are high and dangerous. The general will step forward at the right time to lead the rebel army to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty.
, after the liberation in the future, will there be no shortage of the title of Duke?"
Chen Xiuchen scolded, "It's nonsense. Chongzhen hanged himself, Hongguang was captured, Lujian surrendered, and both capitals fell. The Ming Dynasty has already reached its end, so what else can we talk about? Dinghai is only a corner of eastern Zhejiang and a corner of the southeast, how can you act against the will of heaven? General
If you know the heroes of the times, how can you not know how to follow the trend?"
"General, the monarchs of the Ming Dynasty abandoned their country and their people, and they did not stick to it. General, as a general, why should he defend for them? He is a hero who follows the trend of the times."
The loud voice of China.
"You weak-minded thief, I will tell you today that the Ming Dynasty has not been destroyed, and the country will not be destroyed. His Royal Highness King Lu of the Ming Dynasty has been supported by the officials, gentry, soldiers and people in Linhai City, Taizhou a few days ago, and he has ascended the throne to supervise the country.
The new king of the Ming Dynasty has been established again, and the ZTE is imminent."
Zhu Yihai was sitting on one side of the hall at this time, listening to the young scholar's passionate words and even mentioning him, he couldn't help but sigh.
Wang Zhiren also looked at him, and Zhu Yihai smiled back.
"Who is King Lu? He can't even hold the vassal land of Yanzhou, Shandong. How do you expect him to hold half of this dim country? It's just an idiot's dream, but he is just a young clan who doesn't know how to live or die. He is even full of ambitions.
Those who want to wear dragon robes and sit on the imperial chair are just trying to live up to the taste of the emperor. If they really wait for the Qing army to attack, they will run faster than anyone else. In order to satisfy the ambitions of such fools, why should you use your own
Do you have a bright future and a life with you?"
Wang Zhiren shoots several cases at once.
"shut up!"
"How dare you insult me, the Lord of the Ming Dynasty?"
Wang Zhiren stood up and drew his sword, intending to kill Chen Xiuchen in the hall.
Zhu Yihai also stood up.
"General Wang, wait!"
Wang Zhiren saluted Zhu Yihai and said, "Your Highness, this traitor should be punished for uttering sarcastic words."
When the five scholars saw Wang Zhiren saluting the young man and calling him "His Royal Highness," they were all stunned for a moment.
Zhu Yihai stepped forward.
He walked up to Hua Xia and Wang Jiaqin and bowed first.
"Two gentlemen, please pay homage to Zhu Yihai!"
Zhu Yihai, when they heard this name, the two Hua Xia people reacted. Isn't this the King of Lu and the Supervisor of Lu that he just mentioned?
Facing the somewhat puzzled looks of the two men, Zhu Yihai nodded, "Gu Bian is exactly the King Lu that Mr. just mentioned."
"Your Highness?"
"As Mr. Cai Xia just said, Dinghai is the key to the East China Sea, and General Wang is a loyal general of the imperial court. When the country was in danger, after being ordered to supervise the country in Linhai, the first thing he did was to come here to see the king.
General, please ask General Wang to come out and take charge of the military affairs and lead the troops to resist the Qing Dynasty."
At this time, the two finally confirmed that this young man was Lu Jianguo, and they were both excited.
The two people from Hua Xia quickly paid homage to Zhu Yihai, "I heard from Brother Cang Shui that His Highness is brave and courageous. I have been yearning for him for a long time. I wish I could pay homage to him earlier. I never thought that I would be able to see His Highness here."
Wang Jiaqin also said, "I was already a lonely ghost, but now I finally have hope again."
Chen Xiuchen and the other two stared at this scene with wide eyes and disbelief.
"General Wang, you...what are you doing?"
Wang Zhiren rolled his eyes, "Do you think everyone is as cowardly and afraid of death like you weaklings? There are not many civil servants who are not greedy for money, but there are many generals who are not afraid of death. I, Wang Zhiren, am one of those warriors who is not afraid of death."
Well, don’t you have any last words?”
The three of them were anxious.
"Please spare your life, General, we really don't know..."
"Without further ado."
Zhu Yihai turned around and said, "My lord, please spare their lives first."
"Your Highness, what are you doing with these cowardly, thieves' dog slaves?"
Zhu Yihai walked up to Chen Xiuchen and others, stared at them and said, "Give them a chance to atone for their sins and allow them to donate money and salary to atone for their sins. People will inevitably make mistakes, so we have to give them some opportunities to correct themselves."
Zhu looked at Chen Xiuchen, "Are you right?"
Chen Xiuchen was so stared at by Zhu Yihai that he felt like he was going to have goosebumps. Thinking of the bad words he just said about Zhu Yihai, he even felt like he was about to lose control of his urine.
After swallowing his dry throat, he nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "Student... I am willing, I am willing!"
"You just said that your ancestor was the Minister of Household Affairs of the Tianqi Dynasty. You also said that your Chen family is a wealthy and famous family in Yincheng, Ningbo Prefecture. I think your family must be very wealthy. I wonder how much you are willing to donate?"
"Students are willing to donate one thousand taels... two thousand..."
"Three thousand taels." Chen Xiuchen gritted his teeth.
Zhu Yihai shook his head and turned around.
Wang Zhiren raised his sword with murderous intent and came over, "You damn bitch, you think you're just buying groceries and you dare to bargain with His Highness Jian Guo. You should die."
Chen Xiuchen was as frightened as if she was killing a pig, "The student is wrong, the student is wrong, the student is willing to donate five thousand taels."
"Bah! You're a bitch who won't cry until you see the coffin!"
“Students are willing to break the bank to help pay!”
The smell of urine filled the air, and Chen Xiuchen, who was covered in chaff, sat paralyzed on the ground, with a large yellow water stain spreading under her body.
He was so scared that he peed.
"How dare you, a man like you who claims to be a son of a famous family, to be a lobbyist or messenger? Bah!" Wang Zhiren backed away in disgust.
