Chapter 61 Anti-Poem
After Tieyi was brought here, before Zhou Shixiang was asked, he boldly asked, "Are you in charge?"
"Yes, I'm in charge."
Zhou Shixiang accepted the identity of "manager" with a little smile, and looked up and down at the young man who was a miner, without any dislike of the fishy smell emitted from the other party.
Tieyi was not timid or guilty, but said to Zhou Shixiang's eyes: "Do you kill the Tartars?"
"Our Taiping Camp was built to kill the Tartars." Zhou Shixiang specially raised his voice a little so that more prisoners in the distance could hear it clearly.
Tieyi nodded and then asked, "Did you get our lives with the Tartars?"
"To be precise, it was our Taiping Camp and Deqing Green Camp that exchanged. They handed you over to us and we returned their people to them." At this point, Zhou Shixiang paused, "Of course, your lives will indeed be my Taiping Camp from now on."
After hearing this, Tieyi didn't think there was anything wrong with this matter, so he just asked, "Then do it with you, do you care about your fill?"
Zhou Shixiang smiled and said with certainty: "Share!"
"Okay, I'll do it with you!"
Tie Yi knelt down without saying a word and kowtowed to Zhou Shixiang, then said, "I have many brothers in the mine, all of whom are Tiezheng. They have long wanted to fight with the Tartars, but they don't know who to fight with. If I go and bring them to your Taiping Camp, can the general take their wives, children, and care about their food?"
Zhou Shixiang did not expect that Tieyi would take the initiative to recruit the miners for Taiping Camp, and said overjoyed: "The purpose of our Taiping Camp is to let everyone have food, everyone has clothes and clothes, and everyone has meat to eat. No matter who it is, as long as we are willing to participate in our Taiping Camp, we will treat everyone equally, not only care about their food and accommodation, but also their birth, old age, sickness and death!"
"real?"
Tie Yi murmured and repeated what Zhou Shixiang said, a little disbelief, and suddenly looked up at Zhou Shixiang: "Isn't you lie?"
Zhou Shixiang said seriously, "I won't lie."
Tieyi stared at Zhou Shixiang for a long time, and gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I believe you, send troops to the mine with me, and I will let the brothers in the mine work with you Taipingying Camp!" As he said that, he got up and was in a hurry to go back to the mine.
Tie Yi was anxious about Zhou Shixiang but he couldn't. He had to ask the details of the copper mine first. If there were heavy troops stationed in the mine, he had to make a good start before sending troops, otherwise it would be too risky.
According to Tieyi, when his master Zheng Laoquan was there, the Laofengzhuang copper mine was a newly opened mine during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. At that time, there were eunuchs stationed in the mines, and all the copper they were sent back to Beijing. Later, during the Chongzhen period, the mining prison asked the court to withdraw, and the government sealed the copper mine. Two years later, he came from Guangzhou to help merchants open the mine again. Since then, the Laofengzhuang copper mine has nothing to do with the government.
After the Qing army entered Guangdong, the copper mine was once suspended. It was not until the Qing army occupied Zhaoqing five years ago that the military expenditure was tight before it was reopened. However, in recent years, the Ming and Qing dynasties had been fighting, and mine production was often interrupted, and many miners also ran away. All the miners were left behind were miners who had no way to survive and didn't know what to do except go to the mine. There were about 400 people. Lao Fengzhuang, on the edge of the mine, lived in the family of these miners, and there were about a thousand people.
Although Laofengzhuang where the copper mine is located is in Deqing, all the affairs in the mine are not managed by Deqing, but are managed by people directly sent by Zhaoqing Prefecture. Deqing just sent some supervisors to the place to pay some profits, and the big head was taken to Guangzhou. There are more than 40 supervisors in the mine, all sent by Zhaoqing Prefecture and Deqing, all of which are sent by the servants and gangsters, and they are very mixed with dragons and snakes, but there is one thing in common, that is, they all ride on the miners to act as a blessing.
After hearing what Tieyi said, Zhou Shixiang immediately decided to take a team of soldiers to the copper mine with Tieyi. No matter what method is used, it is necessary to bring all the more than 400 miners in the mine, along with their wives and children. As for the dozens of supervisors, they didn't care at all. They asked the bald man to kill all the supervisors and thugs. This was to expel the anger for Tieyi and other miners, and to make these miners have no way out. They were worried about it, but there were not many people at hand, so they finally asked Shao Jiugong to send ten Jiangxi soldiers to follow him.
After the bald man took the order to lead someone to set off with Tieyi, Shao Jiugong brought the second person he thought was useful, which was the strong man Chen Mo who failed to kidnap the ticket and tore up the meat ticket. Ninety-ninety-nine years later asked the winner!
Shao Jiugong's evaluation of this person is - a man, bold and full of desperation.
The purpose of such a fool is to be used as a dead soldier. If you encounter tough battles that you can't beat, you will send them to be a suicide squad, which can often have miraculous results.
Although Shao Jiugong had just integrated into the Taiping Camp, he had been fighting for more than ten years. He saw that the Taiping Camp now lacked soldiers who could fight, especially soldiers who were not afraid of death. In the current situation, he probably had to fight a few battles with the Qing army to train a group of elite soldiers. These battles had to be smooth and there was no danger at all. Otherwise, let alone training elite soldiers, the Taiping Camp's family's assets would have been defeated. If Taiping Camp wanted to keep up, he had to trap a group of people who were not afraid of death. If these people were consumed, his own elite soldiers would naturally come out.
Although the miners at Laofengzhuang Copper Mine were of course a group of good soldiers, these prisoners in Deqing's cell did not give in too much. Although some were innocent prisoners, there were also some outlaws who committed crimes, and if they were used, they would definitely be a group of dead soldiers.
The lives of these people were saved for free. Give them good food and drink, and ensure that they can get promoted and make money after a few times. Can these people not devote themselves to the Taiping Camp?
The stronger the Taiping Camp, the more safe the life will be. Therefore, Shao Jiugong actively proposed to Zhou Shixiang that the death row prisoners and heavy prisoners should be used as dead soldiers, so Chen Mo could be his leader. In the future, those who commit crimes in the army can be used as dead soldiers, giving these destined deaths a chance to survive. They must fight for it no matter what. This will reduce unnecessary casualties in Taiping Camp and win victory.
This method is a bit like treating human life as a mustard, but Zhou Shixiang adopted this suggestion without hesitation. He asked someone to mention Chen Mo, a humble man, to see how this person can do it, but it is not available.
The leader of the dead soldier Zhou Shixiang needed was a completely silly person. He must not be a little conscience, otherwise he would be a powerful tool to teach others and harm himself.
Chen Mo, the strong man who was called Hunren by Shao Jiugong, shouted as soon as he arrived: "I am a rough man and don't know how to speak, but I have recorded this life-saving grace. What's the point of being worth it? Just give me the order, go up the mountain of swords and go down the sea of fire, and I will never frown at all!"
Zhou Shixiang looked at him, and did not care about his vulgarity, but asked, "What will you do?"
"kill!"
When talking about these two words, Chen Mo looked proud, as if he was talking about the most amazing thing in the world.
Zhou Shixiang thought to himself that this was really a mess, and asked him calmly: "What else do you do besides killing people?"
"What else?"
Chen Mo was stunned. This question made him a little difficult to answer. After racking his brains for a long time, Fang shouted excitedly: "In addition to killing people, I will also kidnap and blackmail, robbery and set fire. In short, I can do any business at the edge of the knife, and I will guarantee that I will not lose the blame!"
"How could you go to prison if you don't make a fuss?" Zhou Shixiang couldn't help but ridicule the fool.
"this..."
Chen Mo suddenly blushed and was quite embarrassed, "Walking by the river often, there is no one who can lose his shoes. Hehe, it's nothing to fall into a rare situation. Next time, I will definitely not lose my skills next time!"
"It's not a matter of failure!"
Zhou Shixiang looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "Our Taiping Camp is the King of Ming Dynasty. You said that we are definitely not doing anything. Logically, you are a crime of committing crimes. It is not an exaggeration to kill you. But seeing that you are a man, you will give you a chance to survive. Are you willing to stay in our army to serve?"
After hearing this, Chen Mo reflexively said: "Is it good?"
benefit?
Zhou Shixiang smiled coldly and signaled that Shao Jiugong would have a good talk with this man.
The third person is a master named Liao Ruixiang, from Shaoxing, Zhejiang. He was a scholar during the Chongzhen period. He served as a magistrate and prefect of several magistrates of the Ming and Qing dynasties. The most recent and last magistrate was Lu Gongming, the magistrate of Deqing.
Shao Jiugong thought he was useful because this person was a scholar. Although he was old, he was a scholar and had been a master. He could write articles under his command. Such a person was urgently needed by Taipingying.
Zhou Shixiang and Song Xianggong relied on the matter of those minor officials in Luoding in Luo Ding, Shao Jiugong knew that he did not trust those minor officials, so after he learned that Old Man Liao's identity as a master, he enthusiastically introduced Zhou Shixiang to him.
When he heard that he was a man who wrote anti-poems and was arrested in prison, Zhou Shixiang became interested. He wondered what anti-poems the old man could write when he was old.
As for the anti-poetry, there have been many poems since ancient times. Zhou Shixiang remembers not much, but he knows a few famous ones, such as "The sky is dead, and the yellow sky should be established. In Jiazi, the world is very good", and "If I am the Qing Emperor in another year, I will repay the same place as the peach blossoms!", or "If he succeeds in his ambitions, he dares to laugh at Huang Chao as unfamiliar!", and "The dragon creeps in the sea and is afraid of shocking the sky, so he will take a break and leap in the abyss. Wait for the gathering of wind and clouds, and fly to the sixth to determine the universe."
Most of the people who write anti-poems are great figures. The anti-poems written by later generations make them unparalleled in reading them, but I don’t know how good Old Man Liao is. Can his poems make people feel heart-wrenching in reading them?
Under Zhou Shixiang's earnest gaze, Master Liao chanted his anti-poem, but said, "The bright moon is affectionate and cares about me, and the breeze does not intend to keep others."
Who is this a foul poem?
Zhou Shixiang was stunned there, and it took him a long time to realize that the living victims of the prison standing in front of him were living words.
The bright moon has feelings, the breeze has no intention, it is not the thought of what the Ming Dynasty is!
Anti-poem, authentic anti-poem!
In the end, Master Liao, who wrote the anti-poem, was taken by Zhou Shixiang. When the plate was big, he naturally needed a staff member. He couldn't do anything big, just do it yourself.
