Chapter 19 Bad luck
"Mom, Geng Jimao is too bullying!"
Luoding City, in the former Luoding Prefectural Office of the Ming Dynasty, Kong Guoliang, the head of the Green Camp, read the letter sent by his elder brother Kong Guozhi from Guangzhou, immediately became furious and was so angry that he smashed the tea bowl in his hand to pieces and kicked several stools over.
Mr. Shao Jiu, who was sitting opposite, was so scared that he quickly stepped forward and persuaded: "President Qian, please calm down, please calm down!"
"Stop the anger? Can I suffocate this energy?"
It would be fine if Shao Jiugong didn't persuade him. As soon as he persuaded Kong Guoliang, he became even more angry and opened his mouth to curse: "Damn it, why is Geng Jimao's soldiers eating and drinking delicious food in Guangzhou City? I will eat cabbage in this ghost place! When Chaozhou was broken that day, Geng Jimao and Manzhou people refused to let us enter the city. The brothers watched them robbing the city in a big way. When they were about to stop, they threw thousands of taels of silver to our Jiangxi soldiers. Before they returned to Guangzhou, they sent us to this ghost place. This fucking bully is not such a fool! "
"This is wrong for King Jingnan, but Lord Qian, don't be angry. He is a senior official and he is a vassal king, let alone a vassal king."
Shao Jiugong felt cowardly, but he couldn't help but Geng Jimao was the King of Jingnan, the court's title. His arm could not twist his thighs. They had another ten thousand complaints. Could it be that they could still sue the vassal kings appointed by the court? He was so angry that he could only swallow his stomach and had nowhere to scatter!
"Isn't that boy Geng Jimao who died so that he could have become a prince long ago? If it weren't for my brothers, could he have captured Chaozhou? There would be no such method of demolishing bridges across the river! You didn't see him like a dog behind General Hahamu. There was no prince like that? If we Jiangxi soldiers were not rushing forward to death, the two or three thousand soldiers under him would not even be enough to put Hao Shangjiu's teeth!"
Thinking of the Battle of Chaozhou, Geng Jimao relied on Hahamu's support to use Jiangxi soldiers and Guangdong soldiers as cannon fodder envoys. After breaking the city, he led his vassal soldiers and Hahamu's Manzhou soldiers to slaughter Chaozhou City directly, killing more than 100,000 Chaozhou people alive. Kong Guoliang hated him so much that he hated Geng Jimao and Hahamu had no choice but to participate. He could only watch Geng and Haji transported the wealth accumulated by Hao Shangji for many years and the property of Chaozhou people back to Guangzhou by hundreds of trucks. Others could not even chew the bones when they ate meat. How could he not hate it?
The Battle of Chaozhou was also depressed, but he didn't dare to scold the vassal kings like Kong Guoliang. He could only change the subject and asked, "What do you think of the General?"
"Don't mention my elder brother. Every time I go back, I always ask me to endure, endure, endure, endure, endure, when will this fucking endure be the end?" Kong Guoliang slapped the letter on the table, his cheeks bulged with anger.
"The General is also thinking about General Qian and his brothers. Our Jiangxi soldiers are visiting soldiers. If they really offend King Jingnan, they will have to drink the northwest wind." Shao Jiugong was not confused. He didn't have to guess and knew why Kong Guozhi persuaded his brothers to endure this tone. Isn't there any way? I really need to have a way to endure it?
Kong Guoliang did not make a mistake: "Can living people still be called to suffocate to death? If you don't stay here, you will have a stay. According to me, my elder brother will lead us back to Jiangxi directly. What's the point of being angry in this Guangdong? He was also from Manzhou and two princes who made contributions. Our Jiangxi soldiers are nothing in their eyes. They won't feel sorry for all of them!"
My god!
Kong Guoliang's words almost scared Shao Jiugong, thinking that if you, the Kong brothers, would lead troops back to Jiangxi without the order of the court, would become rebels. I am afraid that if they were not out of Guangdong, they would be called Pingnan and the two vassals of Jingnan were destroyed. After that, they would have to be executed. It would be okay for the Kong brothers to be executed, don't harm our subordinates.
Fortunately, Kong Guoliang was just a singular saying. His brothers brought 3,000 soldiers to Guangdong last year, and the battle in Chaozhou was mostly damaged. Now, except for the 200 people under Kong Guozhi in Guangzhou, there are only more than 400 people. You have to endure such a few soldiers and horses, even if you suffer a huge grievance, who made you lose your strength? If the three thousand soldiers were completely unscathed, Geng Jimao could send them so casually and send them to Luo Ding?
Kong Guoliang scolded Geng Jimao a few more words, and then kept silent.
Shao Jiugong thought carefully: "Why do you want to submit a seal to the upper limit and please transfer the official documents?"
Upon hearing this, Kong Guoliang said angrily: "I'm just talking nonsense. Geng Jimao really wants to agree to adjust our defense. My elder brother won't even be unable to enter his palace!" After saying that, he kicked the stool in front of him to the side, picked up the whip on the table and said, "Let's go out for a walk with me. Staying in this broken yamen, he's fucking sick."
"Oh, OK!"
Mr. Shao Jiu quickly stepped out of the house and ordered someone to prepare horses for Kong Guoliang.
.........
After Shao Jiugong accompanied Kong Guoliang out of the yamen, he didn't know where he went. He saw nothing except the dilapidated streets, and there were even fewer pedestrians on the street. When he saw a group of Qing soldiers coming out of the yamen, the people who set up stalls were so scared that they closed the stalls and ran away. Who dared to stay there? The dilapidated houses and the deserted streets were full of death, making people more and more dull.
The Ming and Qing dynasties fought in Guangdong for seven or eight years, and no prefectures and counties were not affected by military disasters. The provincial capital Guangzhou was even slaughtered by the Qing army. The 100,000 people who were slaughtered in Chaozhou City were simply a witch compared to the provincial capital. You should know that after the Qing army entered Guangzhou City, they killed everyone. Whether it was an elderly, a baby or a woman, they were all slaughtered by the Qing army, killing more than 700,000 people in Guangzhou, making the huge Guangzhou City empty, and its tragic tragedy was no less than that in Yangzhou in ten days.
As the provincial capital is like this, it is naturally conceivable that the rest of the places are better than Luoding. At least the Qing army did not massacre the city on a large scale, making Luoding the city the only city in Luodingzhou where people still live. This is probably related to the need for the Qing army to enslave the people, otherwise what they eat and drink, and how can they drive the civilians?
Kong Guoliang actually had no purpose, but he was too depressed in the magistrate's yamen, and his heart was blocked, so he wanted to go out for a walk, and it didn't matter where he went. After walking around the city and coming to the east gate, Kong Guoliang immediately looked there for a while. Except for two Taoist priests and a few villagers who went to the city to sell firewood, he felt bored and secretly scolded Luo Ding for being so poor that he was so poor that he refused to come, which made him unable to get any oil and water.
Seeing Lord Qian coming and the Qing soldiers guarding the gate came over to salute, Kong Guoliang waved his hand impatiently and signaled them to be busy with his own affairs. He was really uninterested in the distance who saw him avoiding the people who saw him appear and evaded them.
Bored, Kong Guoliang decided to go back. After shouting at Shao Jiugong, he turned his horse's head and wanted to go back. As soon as the horse turned around, he saw another bald monk walking in through the city gate in a broken monk's robe.
"Bah, just after two Taoists, another bald donkey came. It's so fucking bad luck. I have to go back to find that little lady and get rid of bad luck."
