【Today's first update is delivered!】
After the fierce battle, Liaoyang still had a strong smell of gunpowder smoke. The wind kept blowing, but it was still unable to dissipate the gunpowder. After approaching Liaoyang City, you could still smell a strong smell of blood. The smell of gunpowder smoke and bloody smell were mixed together, making people who first arrived on the battlefield feel very uncomfortable. Some people pinched their noses hard, while others couldn't help vomiting.
With the opening of the three city gates, the main forces of each of the Hu Ben Army troops had entered the city and continued to fight against the defenders. However, outside the Liaoyang City, there were many people. In addition to the artillery commanded by Mo Ru, more non-armed personnel stayed outside the city.
They came to Liaoyang to observe the movements and movements from all directions with various purposes. Some members of the visiting group quietly dispersed after Liaoyang was captured and hurriedly reported the news to their masters. However, a considerable number of people stayed behind to try to further observe the situation.
Among the people left behind, there is a group of people who are the most eye-catching. They are basically young people, with a population of about twenty. The oldest ones are no more than forty years old. The youngest ones may be less than twenty years old. Their clothes appear more decent, their behaviors and actions are also more gentle. Moreover, there are people dressed as men.
This group of people was from the Jiangnan tour group. Gu Hengbo was dressed as a man. After listening to Mo Yu's words at Yanzilou, Mr. Hengbo had the idea of going north to Liaoyang and seeing the front line with his own eyes. The people around her, inspired by her, and the tacit approval and even encouragement of their respective families, also quietly arrived.
On that day at Yanzi Tower, Mo Yu threw out a bombshell, saying that the Hu Ben Army would attack Nanjing soon, which caused a great shock to the gentry class in Jiangnan. All fools know that once the Hu Ben Army conquered Nanjing, what kind of reaction would Jiangnan have. The court's armed forces in Jiangnan were simply an empty shell and were useless. At the beginning, Zhang Zhun had only a few hundred people, so he dared to come to Nanjing to cause trouble, let alone now?
If you want to talk about the entire Jiangnan, who can slightly block the attack of the Hu Ben Army, there is only Zheng Zhilong. However, Zheng Zhilong's power is basically on the sea. If you want to fight on land, Zheng Zhilong is not the opponent of the Hu Ben Army at all. Therefore, it is absolutely unrealistic to rely on Zheng Zhilong. In this way, no one in Jiangnan is the opponent of the Hu Ben Army.
In fact, even Zheng Zhilong himself was very concerned about the news that the Hu Ben Army was about to attack Nanjing. Among the members of the visiting group to Liaoyang, there were spies from the Zheng family. To be honest, the Zheng family was indeed the weakness of the Zheng family's fleet on land. The Zheng family devoted all their wealth and energy to the construction of the Zheng family's fleet, and did not pay attention to the armed forces on land.
If the Hu Ben Army launched an attack from the sea, the Zheng family fleet might be able to stop it for a while. However, if the Hu Ben Army did not attack from the sea, but went directly from Zhejiang to the south, or went east from Jiangxi to attack Fujian, he would have to move all to Taiwan. Zheng Zhilong believed that he would not be sure of fighting with the Hu Ben Army on land.
"what to do?"
"what to do?"
"what to do?"
After Mo Yu left Yanzi Tower, the gentry and powerful people in Jiangnan only had these three words in his mind. Once the Hu Ben Army headed south, what should they do?
Escape to the south?
Surrender to the Hu Ben Army?
Organize forces and resist the Hu Ben Army?
The first one is obviously impossible. Which gentry in Jiangnan is not a big family and a big business. If you want to escape, you have to abandon everything you have, just clean up some gold, silver and soft, and then run south. However, with their escape speed, can they compete with the pursuit speed of the Hu Ben Army? It is indeed questionable!
The third one is obviously impossible. Even the imperial army could not stop the attack of the Hu Ben Army, and even the Tartars failed in the hands of the Hu Ben Army. How effective does the armed forces they organized themselves have in front of the Hu Ben Army? They are just to die.
Since they cannot escape or fight, the only way out is to surrender to the Hu Ben Army. The Hu Ben Army did not insist on not surrendering to the traitors on the Han army flag. The Hu Ben Army's policies have always been clear to the gentry and powerful people in Jiangnan. As long as the relevant provisions of the "Junior Land Order" are implemented, they will not make things difficult for them.
Although cutting flesh is painful and reluctant, in order to save one's head, there is only the share of cutting flesh. In fact, most gentry and powerful people can still meet the requirements of the Juntian Order as long as they make up their minds. Of course, a few people with too many fields have no choice. They can only sell the excess fields at a low price as soon as possible to reduce their losses.
With such an idea, the gentry and powerful people in Jiangnan need to further clarify Zhang Zhun's attitude. How to make it clear? Of course, it was to send someone to deal with Zhang Zhun in person. As long as what Zhang Zhun said in person, it was basically confirmed. So, with everyone's acquiesce, the young people from Fushe quietly went north.
Huang Zongxi and Gu Yanwu were also among the crowd. Their families also had a lot of land. The four young masters of Fushe were also among the crowd. The four young masters of the four families had more land. In addition to them, there were other young masters from Jiangnan. These people were all suave and spending money like soil in Jiangnan. However, when they arrived at the Hu Ben Army, they were all obedient.
This time, the one who came forward to negotiate with the Hu Ben Army was Hou Fangyu of Fushe. The person in charge of the Hu Ben Army was naturally Mo Yu, who was known as the poisonous tongue. It was precisely because of his concern for Mo Yu's poisonous tongue that the members of Fushe were extremely disciplined after they came to Liaodong. If someone accidentally caused the unhappiness of the Hu Ben Army, it would be like his family would be bad.
As for Mo Yu, he had a lot of things to be busy with. He threw this group of people in Liaodong and left them to fend for themselves. He was busy with his own affairs. Hehe, these people were not considered guests of the Hu Ben Army, and there was no need to entertain the Hu Ben Army. There were many people within the Hu Ben Army, and they were a little dissatisfied with this group of people!
Strictly speaking, the people in Fushe are not bad people in the general sense. To be precise, they are a group of people with different political views, and their own morality is not very bad. However, they are very different from those in general political views. Other people with different political views may be because of ideological, institutional, and cognitive reasons and ideas from others. However, the members of Fushe have different ideas from others, and are entirely out of their own interests.
The members of Fushe are all descendants of famous families, landlords and powerful men, or major bureaucrats from Jiangnan. Even if there are a few poor scholars, they still survive. It can be said that the people in Fushe represent the interests of the entire Jiangnan upper class. This class just controls most of the wealth of the Ming Dynasty.
The Donglin Party proposed that as long as it is incompatible with the Donglin Party, all of them will be enemies. When it comes to Fushe, it will reach the pinnacle, that is, those who look down on Fushe or try to suppress Fushe will be all sinners throughout the ages. No matter who it is, as long as it infringes on their interests, they will immediately become the target of Fushe's attack.
Of course, the upper class of Jiangnan was very afraid of the southward advance of the Hu Ben Army. However, idiots all understand that with their strength, it is absolutely impossible to stop the Hu Ben Army's force. They are all shrewd people and know how to make a decision. Instead of dying under the bayonet of the Hu Ben Army, it is better to transform yourself as soon as possible and strive to meet the requirements of the Hu Ben Army.
It was under the pressure of the Hu Ben Army that the members of Fushe in Jiangnan began to gradually change their thoughts. In the past, the fundamental purpose of Fushe was to drive all the "treacherous ministers and eunuchs" in the court and replace them with their own people. Now, their main purpose is to try to preserve their own interests.
There is no doubt that this is a painful process. The gentry and powerful people in Jiangnan had not had a good relationship with Zhang Zhun in the past. Now, it would be very uncomfortable to bend under Zhang Zhun's rule. However, no matter how uncomfortable they were, they needed to try to contact Zhang Zhun. Otherwise, what awaited them would inevitably be the result of the family's destruction.
"Zhang Zhun is here!"
Suddenly, Gu Hengbo screamed in a low voice.
"Zhang Zhun?"
The members of the Fushe hurriedly followed the direction Gu Hengbo was looking at. Sure enough, near them, a team of fully armed Hu Ben Army passed by. In front of the team, there was a young man without weapons riding a white tall horse, which seemed quite eye-catching among the crowd.
This is the first time that a member of Fushe saw Zhang Zhun. Zhang Zhun was wearing a straight military uniform, with no obvious marks on the military uniform, which was similar to ordinary soldiers. However, when everyone saw him, they could tell that he was the leader of the Hu Ben Army. Because, there were always people around him, and there were tight guards.
It seemed that Zhang Zhun looked here with a squint eyes. His eyes swept away casually and then landed on Gu Hengbo. He and Gu Hengbo had met, so he naturally felt familiar. Although the other party was dressed as a man, Zhang Zhun recognized him at a glance.
"Gu Mei?"
Zhang Zhun said calmly.
It was indeed a bit surprising that Gu Hengbo actually appeared here. Zhang Zhun threw all these Jiangnan tour groups to Mo Yu for treatment, and he didn't care at all. He really didn't expect that Gu Hengbo would have the courage to come.
By the way, her relationship with the Hu Benjun is not very good. She is a woman with a stronger personality than ordinary men. Ordinary men, if they are in her position, they will probably not appear in front of the Hu Benjun easily.
"I'm not welcome?"
Gu Hengbo gently bit his lip and said with a little dissatisfaction.
The scene in front of her was indeed a bit awkward. Her relationship with the Hu Benjun was indeed not very good. If Zhang Zhun was a villain, it would not be impossible to order her to cut her into pieces. However, she had enough reason to believe that Zhang Zhun would not do this.
"no."
Zhang Zhun shook his head and said nothing.
Zhang Zhun really has no intention to deal with Gu Hengbo's affairs now. No matter how strong a woman is or how brave she is, she is just a woman, and he doesn't care about her grudges and grudges between her and Liu Rushi, let Liu Rushi deal with them by herself.
Zhang Zhun looked at the people around Gu Hengbo. It was estimated that they were all sent by Jiangnan Fushe, so he nodded and said casually: "Thank you all for a long journey. If you encounter any dangerous things, you can ask our Hu Ben Army for help."
The implication is that you are not invited by our Hu Ben Army. The Hu Ben Army is not responsible for any actions in Liaodong. It is best for you to be optimistic about yourself and not go around. Unless you encounter a very dangerous thing, we Hu Ben Army will not care about it. This is obviously a bit like keeping people from thousands of miles away.
Zhang Zhun withdrew his eyes and saw two young men from Fushe, with a special look. Zhang Zhun couldn't grasp the specificity of the details. In short, the eyes of these two people were a little different from those of others. After a slight change of mind, Zhang Zhun asked casually: "What are your names?"
The two people he liked were Gu Yanwu and Huang Zongxi. They looked at Zhang Zhun with a little admiration. Their family had not much land and could fully meet the regulations of Juntian Ling. Therefore, the two were not very resistant to Zhang Zhun. More importantly, the two admired Zhang Zhun's ability. Those who could defeat the Tartars were of course worthy of admiration.
Gu Yanwu took a step forward, bowed respectfully and said, "I'm going to Gu Yanwu."
Huang Zongxi also took a step forward and bowed a little excitedly and said, "I'm here to Huang Zongxi."
Zhang Zhun's eyes were a little strange. Of course he knew these two names, a great thinker in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. However, no matter how you look at these two guys, they don't look like the two in your impression. However, it is absolutely impossible to say that it is just a coincidence in the name. If the names match, they are both from Fushe, so how can there be so many coincidences? It is probably true that they are great figures in history. Zhang Zhun said in a deep voice: "Are you Gu Yanwu?"
Gu Yanwu nodded quickly and replied solemnly: "That's right."
Zhang Zhun turned his head to look at Huang Zongxi again, and said in surprise: "Are you Huang Zongxi?"
Huang Zongxi hurriedly said, "That's right."
Zhang Zhun looked at the two of them again, his eyes turned around, and he didn't know what he was thinking. After a long time, Zhang Zhun stared at the two of them with his eyes shiningly and said slowly: "I really didn't expect that I would meet you here."
Gu Yanwu and Huang Zongxi felt a little surprised and a little confused. Judging from Zhang Zhun's tone, it seemed that they had known their names for a long time. Could it be that Zhang Zhun had thought of something bad that he had done? Well, it was completely possible. It is said that Zhang Zhun's impression of Fushe seems to be quite unfriendly!
In fact, the two of them were completely wrong. Zhang Zhun said this from the bottom of his heart. He really didn't expect that these two thinkers from the late Ming and early Qing dynasties were still such young people, both of whom were about twenty-five years old. At this age, they were young and strong and full of energy. Judging from their appearance, they seemed a little free!
In fact, what Zhang Zhun needs most is a practical man, not a thinker. If the two only know how to talk big but have no practical skills, Zhang Zhun also doesn't like it. He is wondering whether he should do something and let Gu Yanwu and Huang Zongxi do it to see how they do things.
Zhang Zhun turned to look at the others and suddenly said meaningfully: "If you have the courage and interest, you might as well go ahead and take a look? You may not have seen the living Tartars before, but there are many dead Tartars. Of course, the scene inside may be a bit bloody and the psychological endurance is not strong, so you won't force it."
After he said this, the people in Fushe naturally could not say that they were too brave to go in. The people in Fushe were never willing to let the others down. They followed Zhang Zhun and walked towards the south gate of Liaoyang City.
"oh!"
Suddenly, someone's throat rolled violently.
It turned out that near the South Gate, there were many incomplete limbs scattered on the ground. The head, arms, thighs, internal organs, etc. were all around. All limbs were covered with blood. These were all the guards of the South Gate, which were blown out by a large number of explosives. A loud bang of hundreds of kilograms of explosives could make them thrown dozens of feet away.
Seeing such a bloody scene, Hou Fangyu, Mao Pijiang, Fang Yizhi, Chen Zhenhui and others immediately couldn't bear it. They were all literati, and they had never seen such a bloody scene? For a moment, they felt weak and weak all over. If they wanted to speak, they felt that they had no strength to speak out. They all looked pale.
But Gu Yanwu and Huang Zongxi did not stop and followed Zhang Zhun. Zhang Zhun was not afraid, what were they afraid of? If they had no courage at all, they would not have developed their own thoughts in the environment at that time and thus left their reputation in history.
Gu Hengbo hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth quietly and followed. Even she admired her courage, and was not scared by such a bloody scene. Perhaps it was because Zhang Zhun was walking in front, and no such monster or monster dared to get close to him, right?
The more you go inside, the more bloody the smell is. There is a strong smell of gunpowder in the air, which makes people unable to help coughing continuously. The young master in Sifang looked at me, and I looked at you, and finally decided to stay. The blood on the battlefield is not suitable for them. They comfort themselves, fight and kill, and that is all done by the people below, not by the senior management.
"A bunch of small examples!"
Wang Junyu said in a low voice.
These guys at Fushe all day long shouting that they are loyal to the country and the people, and serving the country with loyalty is actually not as brave as a woman. I won’t talk about the battle, and I don’t even dare to enter the battlefield after the battle. They are really cowards. What can a group of cowards do? Really, how can there be such a person in the world?
