A few cocks crowing in the distance aroused the resonance of the Zeng family's rooster. It was almost dawn. Zeng Guofan put on his clothes and walked out of the Golden Hall. The night before dawn
Kong seemed even darker. A black shadow was jumping under the ancient vine. It was Kang Fu practicing his boxing. Kang Fu's steps were agile, and his fists and feet were agile.
Zeng Guofan looked at it with envy. It would be good if he could have some martial arts like Kang Fu. He could use it to force himself.
The body can defend itself in times of emergency. While he was daydreaming, Kang Fu suddenly shouted,"Sir, lower your head!"
Zeng Guofan quickly lowered his head. He heard a "whoosh" sound above his head as something flew by, followed by a "click" sound.
With a clang, a shiny dart was firmly nailed to the wooden pillar behind him. Kang Fu said,"There's an assassin!" and rushed over.
He pulled out the dart from the pillar. With the help of the candlelight from the Golden Hall, he saw the word "Lu" engraved on the snow-white dart.
"Oh no, could it be my younger brother?"”Jing Qi and the other family members in the mourning hall heard the news and chased Zeng Guofan out.
He helped her into the house. Kang Fu jumped onto the wall and saw a black shadow running in the distance. He jumped off the wall and chased after the shadow. About to run out of four
Five miles away, Kang Fu caught up to that person. The sky was gradually brightening. Kang Fu saw clearly that the assassin was indeed his younger brother, Kang Lu!
Kang Fu was very surprised and shouted from behind,"Brother, stop. I'm your brother, Kang Fu!”
"Brother, I knew it was you." Kang Lu answered as he ran in front. They couldn't talk here. The Zeng family would catch up.
There is a large forest at the corner ahead. Let's go inside.”
After running another four to five miles, Kang Lu and Kang Fu entered the forest one after another. The two brothers stopped and sat opposite each other in the forest. kangfu
"Brother, what's going on? Why do you want to assassinate Lord Zeng?"
"I'll tell you in detail!" Kang Lu gazed at his brother, who had been away for a long time, under the faint morning light and said," Brother left home for a while.
More than a month later, Dongting Lake flooded and the house collapsed. I didn't know where my brother was, so I left home with two other neighbors.
Born. It was hard to get a full meal even if they worked part-time outside. Sometimes I think of my own ability, but I'm really wronged, let alone do it
A man of indomitable spirit couldn't even get enough food and clothing. It was really torturous to live like this. Half a month ago, I was outside Liuyang City
They encountered a group of people, all of them carrying sabers and spears, looking majestic, their heads wrapped in red and yellow cloth. I thought: these days the rumor is that Long Hair is fighting
It's coming over. Isn't this Long Hair? Look at how proud they are! I have martial arts. As long as I join, I will definitely compete with others.
If people made more contributions, their lives would be more comfortable than now. But then I thought, Father always taught us to be dignified and upright.
If Long Hair really killed people, set fires, robbed and plundered as the government said, then
No matter how good life is, I can't go along with them. To test them, I pretended to be sick and lay by the roadside. At this moment, another
A team came over, and immediately a few long-haired people walked out of the team and came to my side to gossip. Some say he's sick, some say
Perhaps they were hungry. After a while, a man in his forties walked out of the group. Judging from his attire, he seemed to be their leader. the man
I took out a small flat porcelain bottle from my waist and poured out a few black pills from the bottle. I put them in my mouth and took another one from beside me.
Little Long Hair took the gourd and poured the water into my mouth. Strangely enough, I wasn't sick, but these black pills
He felt very comfortable. The man asked me kindly,'Little brother, are you feeling better?'I nodded. Then he said,'Little brother,
Brother, if you can walk, you'd better walk with us. We'll stay in the house not far ahead tonight and bury ourselves there.
If you eat some hot soup and hot rice, your illness will be better.'I thought to myself,"Everyone says Long Hair is fierce, why is this Long Hair so friendly?"
Kind and amiable? I walked forward with them. Beside me, a little hairy boy who was about my age said to me,'This is our Gold One.
General Luo Dagang. I said,'General Luo is so nice!' He said,'There are many good people in our Taiping Army.'I'm with that
He chatted with a little hairy man and learned that his whole family had defected to the Taiping Army. The Taiping Army wanted to kill corrupt officials and overthrow the imperial court so that everyone could have
All the men in the Taiping Army were brothers, and all the women were sisters. Everyone believed in God and was God's son.
Women were all equal. These words made my heart itch. If the world was like this in the future, wouldn't it be truly too…
Was it even? Such an army is good. I have decided to join them. I learned many new things from him. At the campsite, I see
They did not rob, burn, or intimidate the local people. After dinner, I went to find General Luo and wanted to work with them. General Luo was straightforward.
He agreed and asked me what I could do. I said that I knew everything about sticks, knives, and spears, and I performed a few moves on the spot.
Seeing this, General Luo laughed and immediately said,"'Good kid, you're very capable. You'll follow me for the next few days.
Merit, I will promote you to colonel and commander.'When we arrived at Changsha, the vanguard troops had already surrounded us for several days. General Luo asked me to deliver the seal.
The letter was given to Liuyang Zhengyi Hall. I returned five days later. General Luo said that he had gone to Yiyang and Ningxiang these few days and had caught them on the way.
One of the leaders of Qing Yao was called Zeng Guofan. I quickly said,'I know Zeng Guofan, he's a high official.'General Luo asked,"Do you admit it?"
Know him? I said,'I've never met him, I've only heard of him. Where is he now? General Luo said,'Unfortunately, he has already escaped.
His mother and father were dead, so he must have gone back to his hometown in Xiangxiang. I'm busy fighting the war now, so I don't have time. If I have time, I'll chase him to Xiangxiang
Killing him would be considered a great contribution.'I thought this was a good opportunity to make a contribution, so I asked General Luo for this task. last night
I came to Baiyangping and found out that Zeng Guofan also arrived yesterday and was guarding the spirit in the mourning hall. The mourning hall was brightly lit. People came and went.
Go, it's not convenient to do it. I had been crouching on the high wall, waiting for an opportunity. It was not easy to wait until Zeng Guofan left the mourning hall.
He threw a dart. Who knew that the moment he made his move, he would discover you, brother! I was very puzzled. Why was brother here? Since my brother is here
Therefore, I will not send a second dart. If it weren't for his brother, Zeng Guofan would have died today. Brother, why did you come to the Zeng residence?
What?"
Kang Fu told his younger brother about what had happened along the way and advised him,"Brother, I don't think Zeng Guofan is that kind of person.
A corrupt official who harms the people and the country. He is a good official who is knowledgeable and knows people. How about you join Zeng Guofan with me?”
"Brother, you're wrong." Kang Lu said seriously. You don't know whether Zeng Guofan is a corrupt official or an honest official, so let's not talk about it for now. this full
The Qing Dynasty that was built by humans was a truly bad imperial court. Brother told me this before. Zeng Guofan served the Manchu people
Force, oppressing us Han people, do you think we should be killed or not? I think brother should join the Taiping Army with me and join General Luo.
Go and kill the thief. With his abilities, he would be able to become a general or commander in the Taiping Army in a few years.”
The two brothers argued, but neither could convince the other. Kang Fu was worried that the Zeng residence would be suspicious if he waited for too long, so he said,
"Since ancient times, there have been many brothers who have different paths. Since I can't persuade you, then let's go our separate ways! just
One thing, no matter where we are, we have to obey our father's orders and not do anything that will harm the Kang family.”
"Brother is right. I'm leaving. Take care, brother. See you again.”
With that, the brothers parted ways. Kang Fu didn't turn around and run back to the Zeng residence until he couldn't see his brother's back anymore.
The journey was so tiring that Zeng Guofan fell ill. Just when Zeng Guofan was bedridden
By the time they arrived, Changsha was already under heavy artillery fire.
