Summer passed and autumn came. In the blink of an eye, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival in July. On the 14th, each of the Green Camp soldiers received a five-hundred-coin festival gift.
On the 15th, there was a day off. All the officers above the head of the External Affairs Committee received an invitation. On the afternoon of the 15th, at the Tianxin Pavilion, he offered his condolences.
After the memorial ceremony for the soldiers who died in the city last year, Admiral Bao invited them to a banquet. But the treasury didn't send a letter to the 3rd Battalion.
No one, including Zeng Guofan, received an invitation. This was blatant discrimination against the regimental training! Wang Wei, Li Xu
Bin, Zeng Guobao, and the others were furious at this blatant unfair treatment. Zeng Guofan suppressed his anger and persuaded Wang He and the others.
He stopped them and thought of ways to gather some money. On the night of the 14th, he hurriedly distributed it to the regiment members, finally calming everyone's resentment temporarily.
Each of the soldiers received five hundred wen. The food expenses of each camp and sentry were also saved up, some were five to six hundred.
Wen, the least was three to four hundred wen, and the food was distributed to everyone. Most of the regiments are honest and honest in the countryside
The farmer could not bear to use the thousand wen he got and asked his acquaintances to bring it back to subsidize his family. Some can't be found for a while
Acquaintance, he would hide it well and bring it back in the future. Among the regiments from Chenzhou, Baoqing, and Xinning, there were also some from home.
It's rich. These people didn't care about this bit of money. It was difficult for them to live in the provincial capital, so they gathered in groups of three or five to shop on the streets and eat in restaurants.
Happy. There was a young man named Teng Raoshu in Chenzhou. He envied Bao Chao's kung fu and tried to get close to Bao Chao.
He wanted Bao Chao to teach him more martial arts. After earning some money today, he made an appointment with five fellow villagers he usually got along with and discussed how to invite Bao Chao.
Everyone agreed to go to the Fire Palace to play.
In the past few months, Bao Chao had been training the team members with all his heart to repay Zeng Guofan's kindness. He had never gone anywhere. heard
The Fire Palace was a fun place. Bao Chao readily agreed to Teng Raoshu's invitation. On the way, he met Taqibu again. Bao Chao talked for a long time.
He had disappeared and dragged Taqibu to the Fire Palace. Taqibu couldn't resist and could only obey. The eight of them were chatting and laughing.
They arrived at the Fire Palace on Pozi Street.
The Fire Palace was indeed lively. In the middle was an ancient building covered with yellow glazed tiles, arched eaves, and carved with many birds and beasts.
In the old temple. There was a statue of the Fire God in the temple. The Fire God wore golden armor, his face was red, his eyes were like copper bells, and his tongue was red.
Charcoal was really a burning fire, and it was daunting. There were seven or eight temple attendants living in the temple all year round. These temple priests
If it wasn't for serving the Fire God and receiving the devotees who came to ask for protection, but managing the bustling people in front of the temple gate,
In the market.
The red walls surrounding the Fire Palace surrounded a large empty field. Because it was located in the downtown area of Changsha, over time, this empty field became
Doctors, entertainers, monkeys, dog-skin plasters, fortune-tellers, and gadgets
The gathering place also aroused the interest of those idle people in Changsha. The hawkers selling various snacks also came here to make a living.
Therefore, the temple head came to manage this land of wealth. Every night, after the people had left, they would clean up the place. Open the door at dawn to welcome everyone
The kind of person. Some hawkers had better business and often gave money to the temple head, and the temple head gradually became rich.
Come on. Later, the temple devotees built four large tents on the empty ground. The tents were covered with bark and named Dongcheng, Xijiu, Nantong and Beihu respectively.
Yes. An open shed would shelter them from the rain and sun, bringing convenience to both the seller and the buyer. During the New Year, there are still opera singers who come here to sell
Art This fire palace became more prosperous and lively, almost comparable to the Great Xiangguo Temple in Kaifeng and the Confucius Temple in Nanjing.
Taqibu, Bao Chao, Teng Raoshu, and the others entered the temple to admire the face of the Fire God and chatted with the temple attendant. Teng Raoshu
He treated the pagoda and abalone to the famous products of the Fire Palace. Although the Fire Palace was a place of distribution, there were also some places that were not fixed.
Many hawkers selling food had been doing business here for generations and years. Some of the food had become the traditional name of the Fire Palace.
Birth. These famous products were the Wang Family's Sisters Dumpling, the Xiao Family's Stinky Dried Tofu, the Xie Family's Braised Pork Knuckle, and the He Family's Immortal Bowl.
Dinner. Those who visited the Fire Palace Hall would not be considered to have visited the Fire Palace Hall if they did not eat these things.
Ta, Bao and the others arrived at the southern tent first. He saw a storyteller talking about Lan Ling's poem," The Plum in the Golden Vase."
When they talked about Ximen Qing's greed and death, the audience was packed. They talked about finding a seat, but there was not even a place to stand. no
He could only walk to the North Dapeng opposite. A monkey in the shed shouted with a Hebei accent,""Disciples, upgrade three levels consecutively.
This play will be performed by Sai Wukong for all the uncles and brothers. Please give us some pointers and support us.”
A fine gong sounded, and a disciple walked onto the stage with three official hats from an unknown dynasty. All I saw was the three hats
On both sides of the hat were two enlarged yellow copper coins made of paper.
The child and the hat were connected. The red official hat copper coin was the largest, while the black official hat copper coin was the smallest. Another disciple was leading a skinny
Monkey came out. The monkey's eyes flickered as it sneakily walked around. With the gong, I use the rope
She held onto it and walked over to mediate the situation. Teng Raoshu thought to himself,"This monkey's name is really beautiful. It's called Sai Wukong, but it's like a dustpan compared to the sky."
It was too arrogant. It could not even beat Sun Wukong. Even the monkey that the Great Sage Sun blew out was a hundred times stronger than it.
Taqibu, Bao Chao, and the others stood and watched for a while. Seeing that they couldn't find a seat, they came out again and went to Dongcheng Shed.
In the Dongcheng Shack, a burly man from Guanzhong who sold dog skin plaster was bare-chested. He practiced boxing all the way and played with a three-section stick.
He was drenched in sweat. The burly man bowed and cupped his fists. He shouted in a heavy nasal voice,"Ancestral secret recipe, famous medicine
The system is famous in the Jianghu and famous in the sea. My surname is Shen, Shaanxi Mizhi people, ancestral ten generations of specialized dog skin plaster. Hey!" the man
He patted his bare chest and raised his voice." Dizziness, sore limbs, lumbago, leg pain, headache, and foot pain.
Children suffer from premature menstruation, and their erect bodies are not firm. Women have irregular menstruation and are infertile for many years. After applying a patch of my Shen family's ancestral ointment, the effect is immediately seen.
After two posts, the pain would be gone. After three or four posts, the root would be severed forever. 100 wen per post, 150 wen, buy one post, get one free, want
Hurry up and don't wait until the time is up." Tazib looked down on people who used their fists and sticks to attract customers and sell their medicine. He thought these rivers
Hu Liar had blasphemed Chinese martial arts. He paused for a moment and left the Dongcheng Shed. Bao Chao, Teng Raoshu, and the others followed him out.
As soon as he walked out, Taqibu saw a man in his thirties relaxing his Qi in the remote eastern corner of Dongcheng Shed.
He stopped in his tracks and looked at it carefully. The man touched the ground with the tip of his toes, his hands clenched in the air, one in front and one behind.
He struck left and right, his toes constantly circling the ground. His legs were slightly bent, and his entire body looked light. Look at that man
His face was solemn, his lips were tightly shut, and his cheeks were red. Taqibu stared at it for a long time before striding forward and waving his hands.
"Big brother, please!"
The man stopped and looked at Taqibu's military uniform. He politely replied,""General, please!"
Tazib said,"I saw Big Brother's stance when he was walking and punching. Did Big Brother beat a witch?
Family Style?"
The man's face lit up with joy." General, you have good eyesight. I just used the Wu Family Style."”
"Big Brother's fist technique is strict and compact, soft on the outside but hard on the inside. Big brother's martial arts attainments are few nowadays.
Yes."
"General, you flatter me."
"Big brother, forgive me for being rude. Wouldn't it be a pity if Big Brother's ability was buried in this brothel? Why don't you repay me with this?
To serve the country, and can make the boxing skills of the great witch family shine.”
"I don't live here for long." The man said," Because I was too busy a few days ago, I didn't have time to practice. I happened to pass by this place today.
He had some free time, so he stretched his muscles and bones a little. General advised me to serve the country. Do you want me to join the army?”
"That's right." said Tazib.
The man laughed and said,"Can the Green Camp be considered an army that serves the country?"”
Tazib blushed and immediately said,"I'm not trying to persuade you to join the Green Camp. Currently, there is another group of people in Changsha who urgently need your help.
Such a talent, are you willing to go?"
"Which troop?"
"Lord Zeng's regimental training has three battalions of over a thousand men.”
The man smiled again." General, this is the first time we've met. I can tell that you're a capable and courageous man."
Han, so I'd like to talk to you a little more. In my opinion, not only should I not join the Green Camp and the regimental training, but I also advise the General to return home as soon as possible.
The fields are good. Two thousand years ago, the Immortal of Nanhua had already seen through all of this. The so-called country was actually just a snail's horn. you said
The one who organized the team training was Lord Zheng? Sigh! The world was bad because of the word 'strive'. From ancient times to the present, the word 'struggle' was harmful.
The hatred and killing of each other in the world would never end. The Immortal of Nanhua said it well,'When honor and disgrace are established, then you can see what's wrong, and wealth will be gathered.
Later, I saw the dispute.' Only by looking down on honor and disgrace, not coveting goods and wealth, and having no illness and no competition could the world be peaceful! It's getting late. General, please take care of yourself.
We'll meet again." After saying that, he left. Tazib shook his head and walked into the western tent.
This was the last shed. The shed was relatively quiet. At a table, a wandering doctor was treating an old woman.
Pulse. A blind man sat in the gap between several tables. The blind man opened a large piece of paper in front of him.
He drew a Tai Chi diagram. On the right side of the diagram was written," Point out the lost gentleman ", and on the left side was written," Guide the long-trapped hero ". Look around the tree
Laughing, he said,"Your beggar face, black and white, day and night unclear, and you still want to guide others. It's really ridiculous!"”
Tazib said," Naturally, there are people who are willing to listen to his nonsense. Otherwise, he wouldn't have set up a stall every day.”
The blind man heard the voices and quickly shouted,""It's time for fortune-telling! He only speaks the truth and doesn't lie."
Everyone laughed. Coincidentally, there was a table of people who had gathered, and Teng Raoshu quickly occupied this table. Tell Ta, Bao, and the others to sit down.
After that, he and the other two Chenzhou Yong were busy preparing. After a while, they brought over a jar of white crane liquid wine and a large plate of stinky tofu.
There were four cages of sister dumplings, and each of them had a big bowl of braised pork trotters in front of them. They also ordered a few stir-fried dishes. Everyone ate with relish. Teng
"Pagoda Master, why were you so polite to that boxer?" I think that person's boxing skills are average.
Officer Bao is far from it."
Before Taqibu could answer, Bao Chao said,""This person's fist art is not bad, you don't understand, don't look down on him, but
I couldn't tell what he was up to. Brother Tower, tell us in detail.”
Taqibu said,"You may not know this, but that man's kung fu is very profound. He practices a very famous style of Southern Boxing-Wu
Family Style."
"What is the origin of the Wu Family Style?" A Chen Zhou Yong asked.
"At the end of Qianlong, there was a boxer named Wu Bida in Tingzhou, Fujian Province. When he was young, he wandered the Jianghu and took many martial arts masters as his teachers.
After ten years of hard practice, he combined the masculine, strong, and bone-strengthening characteristics of the Shaolin External Boxing in Fujian with the Wudang Internal Boxing in Hubei.
The combination of the essence, qi, spirit, and foundation of the technique formed a kind of softness that was like flowing clouds and flowing water on the outside, and the five mountains and three rivers on the inside.
Zhi Gang's Wu Family Fist. Wu Bida later taught Li Dakui in Xiangtan, and later passed on to the brothers Feng Nanshan and Feng Lianshan. After his death, he was buried in
Xiangtan, by Li, Feng two families erected steles. The Wu Family Fist was widely spread in the south, but the Li and Feng families were the ones who truly understood its profundity.
He had forgotten to ask for the man's name.”
"I've heard of this Wu Family Style, but I've never seen it with my own eyes. Which path of the Wu Family Fist did that person use just now?”Bao
Ban Chao asked.
"He just used the Plum Blossom Fist, the number one unique skill of the Wu Family Fist. Look at him walking in circles on his toes, don't think he's
He casually circled around, and the circles he drew were plum blossoms.”
Teng Raoshu said in surprise,"We are laymen, but we can't see it at all."”
"The Wu Family Style also has the Crown Prince Golden Fist, Qilin, Four Words, Zhengping, Baimen, Single Hanging, Pinching Hanging, Three Pillars, and other six elbow styles.
It's very powerful."
When everyone heard this, they were all impressed by Taqibu's rich knowledge of the Wu Family's fist techniques.
Teng Raoshu then consulted Bao Chao and Taqibu on the similarities and differences between the Shaolin External Style in Fujian and the Wudang Internal Style in Hubei.
Everyone was eating and chatting happily when they suddenly heard a big commotion at the table next to them.
These were the four town guards drinking and gambling. The loser was not convinced. He first cursed and then fought with the winner.
The other two didn't try to stop the fight. Instead, they were cheering him on. Taqib saw that it was ridiculous and went over to sing,""Don't fight here
Fight! Those who made a fool of themselves should be beaten back to the barracks!”
The Zhenyu soldiers had been famous for their ferocity since the Ming Dynasty. Although the town guards of the Xianfeng period could not be compared with the past, they were still in the whole country.
Among the 66 towns of Green Camp, he was still considered the strongest. They were all experts in personal fights, group fights, and meddling.
There are often fights inside. With a whistle, the two armies immediately faced each other. If you fight until your eyes are red, you will be able to use a white knife to attack and a red knife to attack.
He didn't care. Most commanders were afraid of being transferred to Zhenjiu Town. If the soldiers of Zhenyi Town quarreled with the soldiers of other towns, the soldiers of Zhenyi Town would
They would automatically unite and fight against the enemy. They would not stop until they defeated the other party. When these few town guards heard this,
Tazib shouted, and the scuffle loosened. They all tilted their heads and looked at Tazib. One of them said,"We're playing here
Play? What's it to you? What are you shouting for!"
Bao Chao walked over and said loudly,"You don't even listen to the words of a general. Is there any military discipline?"”
One of the soldiers squinted his eyes and said with a sneer,"Who do you think you are? When I'm full, I'm full
Go shit in the toilet! You haven't even turned into a human yet, and you dare to lecture your uncle!”
Teng Raoshu looked at the arrogant and boorish soldiers who were scolding Bao Chao with such unpleasant words. He felt uncomfortable.
Secondly, he wanted to please Bao Chao, so he rushed over and said loudly,"This is Inspector Bao, don't be rude!”
The man laughed." What do you mean, Officer Bao? I only know Shanhaiguan Pass and Hangu Pass. I've never heard of them."
What Bao Shao? Was a man with a head full of hair and hair considered an official?”
Another soldier said coldly,"Isn't this Inspector Bao the poor and bored ruffian who wants to sell his wife? what
Is it time for you to become an official?"
The four Guardians laughed wildly. Bao Chao was angry and embarrassed. His face was red, and the tendons on his neck bulged. He wished he could kill this guy.
A few soldiers crushed him into pieces. Teng Raoshu stepped forward, wanting to reason with them. One of the soldiers shouted,"You want to hit me?"
What?" As he spoke, he raised his hand and slapped Teng Raoshu. Teng Raoshu was furious. He punched the man, and his teeth touched his tongue.
Blood immediately flowed out of his head. He was so angry that he cried out and knocked his head over. The other soldiers also rushed over. The Chenzhou regiment members rely on
With Bao Chao by his side, his courage increased greatly. They went up together and started fighting. When the people outside the shed saw the soldiers fighting, they fled in fear.
The blind man also rolled up the Taiji Diagram and hurriedly walked away. Bao Chao wanted to hit him a few times, but Taqibu hugged him. There are few soldiers in the town. Eat
After suffering a loss, he escaped from the Fire Palace in a sorry state. Taqibu, Bao Chao, Teng Raoshu, and the others continued to drink and eat. They didn't return until the sun was about to set.
Camp.
Before they could sit down in the barracks, more than 100 town guards rushed to the entrance of the 3rd Battalion's barracks with sabers and guns in their hands.
"Hand over the murderer who beat people up in the Fire Palace!”Other Chenzhou, Xinning, Baoqing and other regiments in the barracks
They didn't understand what had happened. Camp Officer Zou Shouzhang hurriedly walked out of the barracks."Brothers, if you have something to say, let's talk it out. This Zou will definitely lose.
Deal with it well."
A few soldiers who were beaten up in the fire palace made a noise and gave a rough explanation. Zou Shouzhang was afraid of causing trouble, so he smiled and said,"Little brother
Brothers, go back first. After I report this to Lord Zeng, I will punish you severely.”
After the soldiers left, Zou Shouzhang called Teng Raoshu and the others over to interrogate them in detail. Teng Raoshu told him the truth. zou
Shou Zhang and Bao Chao went to Zeng Guofan's residence next to the shooting garden of the governor's office. Zou Shouzhang explained the situation. Zeng Guofan was furious.
His face was ashen, his broom-like eyebrows were hanging upside down, and his triangular eyes were filled with killing intent. Bao Chao was so scared that his legs were trembling. He knelt down and said,""Bao Chao deserves to die! this
The sun was in the fire palace because the soldiers in the town scolded Bao Chao. When they scolded Bao Chao and looked down on the regiment, they were actually scolding the adults and looking down on them.
Sir, if General Ta hadn't stopped them, Bao Chao would have killed those bastards today.
Lord Zeng, Bao Chao has let you down. You should beat Bao Chao a hundred times and kick him out of the regiment! Bao Chao is
He was a man, and he didn't want to be bullied like this in the regimental training. I'll go to Jiangning to find Inspector Xiang.”
Zeng Guofan paced back and forth in the room, gritting his teeth, his cheeks rising and falling, not saying a word. Luo Zenan
He said,"Inspector Bao didn't do anything wrong. It's all thanks to his magnanimity that he didn't cause a bigger accident. Today's matter is wrong because of the soldiers guarding the city.
However, Teng Raoshu also had some responsibilities. The Green Camp and the regiments were not on good terms. In order to take into account the overall situation, it was better to endure this anger and kill Teng Raoshu.
He would wait for them to beat him with dozens of military sticks to calm this storm.”
Zeng Guofan looked at Luo Zenan and said,"The Green Camp is bullying me, and I'm pushing my luck. Even my brothers are suffering with me." from the big
Looking at the situation, I should naturally do as you said and endure it to prevent the situation from expanding. However, the green camp is timid in battle and brave in private fights. This kind of habit has been accumulated.
It's very harmful. Today, I'm going to use this matter to rectify this unhealthy trend.”
"How?" Luo Zenan was a little worried. It might cause even bigger trouble.”
Zeng Guofan said,"Presumably, Bao Qibao wouldn't deliberately expand the situation!"”
Zeng Guofan called Bao Chao up and personally wrote a letter to Bao Qibao, saying that the private fight between the soldiers in the Fire Palace had a very bad influence.
On this side, Teng Raoshu and the others will be beaten fifty times with military sticks and pierced with arrows in their ears for three days. I also request Admiral Bao to suppress the chaos.
The soldiers in charge of the matter were dealt with in the same way.
After Bao Qibao finished reading the letter, he sneered and said in his heart,"If you want me to punish you, I won't do such a stupid thing. I want your country
I can't step down." He also asked someone to write a letter. The letter said,"The soldiers who caused trouble in the Fire Palace have been tied up and sent over. Please follow the army, Mr. Zeng."
He was dealt with according to law. BaoQiBao sent a few QinBing to the town of soldiers station, claiming that Zeng Guofan will tie up this afternoon in the fire palace and tuanDing fight.
Four soldiers. The bodyguards tied up the four soldiers and sent them to Zeng Guofan along with the letter.
The soldiers thought that the regiment would come to apologize to them, but now they actually tied up their brothers.
Things. The soldiers felt humiliated. The leader of the troops, the deputy general of Yunnan Chuxiong Association, Deng Shaoliang, personally commanded and blew the bugle call.
Close. "Zeng Guofan's men tied up four of our brothers and wanted to behead them in public," he incited. This is the number of our soldiers
It was a humiliation that had never happened in a hundred years. This can be tolerated, but what can't be tolerated! What should we do?"
Someone in the team shouted,"Rush to the Criminal Investigation Bureau and get our brothers out!"”Someone else shouted,"Zeng Guofan dares to kill us?"
We will kill Zeng Guofan!”Some people also shouted,"Taqibu is a general of the Green Camp, but he speaks for the regiment. He is a Green Camp general."
The spy of the camp. He was the one who caused today's incident." Someone raised a knife and shouted,"Destroy the Taqibu's nest!”The town guards are united
Protect.
Deng Shaoliang led more than 300 town guards and rushed into Taqibu's house aggressively, destroying everything in Taqibu's room.
The west was smashed to pieces. Tazib was lucky enough to hide in the grass behind the room and avoid death. After destroying Tazib's home, the town was suppressed.
The soldiers rushed to the Criminal Investigation Bureau and surrounded it, shouting loudly,"Zeng Guofan released us.
Brother!" "If you don't let him go, we'll charge!"
The bodyguard entered the room and told Zeng Guofan.
Zeng Guofan was playing chess with Luo Zenan. He called Bao Chao over and whispered some instructions into his ear. Bao Chao immediately went out.
The door opened. Zeng Guofan calmly said to Luo Zenan,"Luo Shan, it's your turn to leave."
"Let's go out and talk to them!”Luo Zenan put down the chess piece in his hand and looked at her uneasily from behind his glasses.
Light.
"Ignore them and see what they do.”Zeng Guofan's eyes never left the chessboard.
A burst of hurried footsteps accompanied by the sound of knives and guns colliding came in from outside. When Zeng Guofan turned his face to look, Deng Shaoliang brought
Dozens of soldiers rushed through the door like a whirlwind and arrived beside him. Luo Ze Nan saw that the situation was not good and hurriedly sent his personal guard to tell Wang He,
He told him to climb over the wall and go to the governor's office to invite Luo Bingzhang over. One of the soldiers had already pulled out his knife and pointed it at Zeng Guofan's forehead. Deng
Shao Liang used his hand to push away the knife and bluntly said to Zeng Guofan,"Lord Zeng, please let her go!"
Zeng Guofan sat by the chessboard, motionless. He played with the chess pieces in one hand and said slowly,"Admiral Bao sent someone to bring the troublemaking taxi.
The soldier sent me here and wrote a letter personally, asking me to deal with it according to military law. After the disposal, he will be released. Why bother Deputy General Deng to mobilize your army?
Why did they come to take it aggressively?”
Deng Shaoliang widened his eyes and glared at him."I want you to let her go now!"
The veins on Zeng Guofan's temples bulged one by one. The chess piece had stopped moving and was tightly pinched by two fingers.
Although he was still sitting by the chessboard, his tone was much stiffer."The main hall hasn't had time to deal with it yet, how can we let it go now!”
Deng Shaoliang gripped the scabbard with his left hand and the hilt with his right. He took a step forward and roared,"Are you going to let go or not?
Release?"
"Bang!" Zeng Guofan kicked the chessboard down and stood up like a tiger. He raised his eyebrows and bulged his triangular eyes.
His face was pale, and a murderous aura rushed out. He shouted sternly,"Deng Shaoliang, you're going too far!"
Deng Shaoliang was caught off guard by Zeng Guofan's move. He unconsciously took a step back and let go of the hilt with his right hand. Zeng Guofan pointed at him and scolded,
He said,"Deng Shaoliang, I'm sure you're just a reckless martial artist who kills people with a knife. You're so bold that you're in my imperial order to help the group."
He was so impudent in front of Minister Lian. Do you still have the imperial court and the laws of the country in your eyes?”
After this scolding, Deng Shaoliang's arrogance was reduced by half, and his mouth was still stiff."Lord Zeng, it's not that I'm being presumptuous, but I'm trying the case.
If they didn't let him go, the brothers wouldn't agree!”
Zeng Guofan glared at Deng Shaoliang with a fiery gaze."Vice General Deng, if our brothers don't agree, will you? The taxi under my command
If you can't even suppress the army, what use does the imperial court have for a deputy general like you? Moreover, you have to understand that you are the one who led your troops into my yamen today.
He's the leader of the rebellion!"
Deng Shaoliang felt that things were not going well and could not help but feel a little discouraged. The soldiers beside him were shouting,"Let them go, let them go! If you don't let us go, then
We're going to search!"
"Don't be rude!" Just as they were busy discussing, Luo Bingzhang came in. He smiled at Zeng Guofan." Lord Zeng, this is...
What happened?"
"Luo Zhongcheng, Lord Zeng has tied up four of our brothers.”Deng Shaoliang said. In fact, Luo Bingzhang already knew the reason for the matter.
Wei Wei. How could he not know that the town guards were besieging the Judicial Bureau in such a noisy manner, and the governor's yamen was only separated by a wall? But this old official
Liao was very cunning. If Wang He hadn't climbed over the wall to invite him, he wouldn't have come. It's good to let Zeng Guofan suffer some grievances, who asked his hand to
It stretched too far! Since Wang He had come to invite him, he had to let him go.
"Vice General Deng, you shouldn't treat Lord Zeng like this.”
After hitting Deng Shaoliang, Luo Bingzhang turned his face to Zeng Guofan and said," Lord Zeng, the soldiers in the Fire Palace must be ruthless."
If you can't punish him ruthlessly, I'll do it. Now that the crowd was in an uproar, it was inevitable that something unexpected would happen. In the future, if the imperial court asks, you and I
It was hard to explain. I think we should let these people go for the time being and calm down the public anger before we deal with them calmly. What do you think?"
Zeng Guofan thought to himself, What a cunning and biased Luo Bingzhang! What "appease public anger"? Did I do something wrong to provoke
Their "public anger"? You, Luo Bingzhang, are afraid of offending the public, but aren't you afraid of offending the public? Good! Since things have come to this,
I want you to see my methods!
"Luo Zhongcheng, please sit. At the request of Admiral Bao, I will deal with the troublemakers in the Fire Palace. A certain someone is fair and impartial
Which side is bare? Teng Raoshu and the other six men had each been beaten fifty times yesterday and had been in the camp for three days. The same goes for the garrison.
Set."
Without waiting for Luo Bingzhang to speak, Zeng Guofan shouted,"Men! Bring up the four troublemakers that Admiral Bao had tied up!”
Kang Fu replied and walked out of the door, shouting,"Bring people up!"
Bao Chao, Liu Songshan, Peng Yuju, Li Chendian, Wang Kuishan, Yi Lianggan, and the others were all wearing armor and carrying 100 guards.
The soldiers with knives and spears escorted four troublemakers up. The hundred men entered and stood in the room to suppress the soldiers.
In the surroundings. Bao Chao held a shiny broadsword and walked to Deng Shaoliang's side like a fiendish man. Liu Songshan, Peng Yuju, etc.
They stood on both sides of Zeng Guofan.
Luo Bingzhang's face turned pale as if he was sitting on pins and needles. Deng Shaoliang and his soldiers also had a big disaster
Fear. The four soldiers with their hands tied were so scared that their legs went weak. They knelt in front of Zeng Guofan. Zeng Guofan shouted,
"As soldiers who protect the people, you took the lead in causing trouble and committing crimes in public. According to the military law of the Great Qing Dynasty, the headquarters
According to the eighth paragraph of the 123rd article, at the request of Admiral Bao, he was punished with fifty military sticks and put his ears through the camp for three days.”
After saying that, he slammed the tea stick on the table and shouted,"Someone come!"
"Yes!" A thunderous roar came from both sides. Eight burly men holding eight sticks of water and fire walked forward like wolves and tigers.
Come, press the four soldiers to the ground, tear off their pants, and beat them up with the Water Fire Rod.
Zeng Guofan sat on the armchair and thought of the humiliation he had suffered from Bao Qibao and Qingde in the past few months. He thought of his younger brother and his regiment members.
The hatred and humiliation he had suffered from the Green Camp soldiers was vented out with the sound of the batons. He wanted to order the execution many times
"Beat him to death!" However, when he saw Luo Bingzhang, who was sweating profusely, he swallowed his words. eight
The members of the Execution Squad were in the same mood as Zeng Guofan. They didn't need his orders and just fought with all their might. 20, 40, one strike
The more the rod struck, the heavier and fiercer it became. The poor four unlucky soldiers first called out for their father and mother, wailing like ghosts and howling like wolves.
Come, he couldn't even shout. After beating them with fifty sticks, he captured them again and stuck a stick into each of their left ears.
Arrows. Blood flowed out, but there was no sound of pain. He was already numb.
Zeng Guofan said coldly to the four soldiers,"On account of the brothers from Zhenqiao Town coming to pick us up, we will be punished in this camp for three days.
Carry on. You can leave now."
A few soldiers came up and carried them out of the door. Deng Shaoliang's underwear was already soaked. Just as he was about to leave, Zeng Guofan shouted,
"Deng Shaoliang, as a deputy general, you are not strict with the army and are already heavily responsible. Today, you led your troops into the Judicial Bureau and threatened them with a knife.
This is the same as rebellion, and the crime should be killed. The headquarters won't take care of you directly and will temporarily let you go back. In the future, the headquarters will be with Luo
Zhongcheng, Admiral Bao, report to the court. You can return to the camp to wait for the trial!”
Deng Shaoliang walked out of the door with his head drooping. He saw that the soldiers outside the Yamen had already been killed by fully armored and fierce-looking regiments.
He was definitely going to die. Deng Shaoliang couldn't make a sound, so he could only wave his hand and leave with the soldiers. In the room, Zeng Guofan was sitting opposite him.
"Luo Zhongcheng, you're in shock. Guo Guofan's action was really a last resort. I hope Zhongcheng will understand.”
Luo Bingzhang saw that all the soldiers had retreated and slowly recovered. He didn't listen to Zeng Guofan's advice, but acted like this in front of him.
Unyielding was very angry and blamed him, saying,"Disheng, you're too strong." The enmity between the Green Camp and the regiment members could not be resolved in this lifetime.”
Zeng Guofan said unhappily,"What was wrong with my handling just now?"”
"Brother Disheng, I'm not criticizing you." Luo Bingzhang was annoyed. As the governor of Hunan, I have to be responsible for Hunan. maybe one day
Long Hair is back, can your men resist? They were only qualified to capture the king of robbers and bandits, and could not be on the big stage.
To defeat Long Hair, they still had to rely on the Green Camp and the Zhenji soldiers. You beat up their people in front of me and even threatened to kill them.
Deng Shaoliang. Do you still want the 3,000 soldiers? How can I be the governor?"
Zeng Guofan was furious when he saw Luo Bingzhang looking down on the regimental training and favoring the soldiers. He suppressed his anger and sneered,
"Don't worry, Zhongcheng. Long Hair is here, I have my ways.”
"What can you do?" Luo Bingzhang retorted. Even if there was a way, there would not be trouble from the Fire Palace!”
After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and left.
