Chapter 483: The Old Hero of the Beggars' Se
When Wei Rensheng was in Huaxi Village, he saw up close that the poor people needed support. When he heard Zhao Yulin's speech on changing the current situation in rural areas, his blood boiled and he was full of enthusiasm.
He was already exhausted and didn't bother with these trivial matters.
Wei Rensheng said to his father: I was born to be useful, and then he just ate, drank, bathed and went to sleep, and ran to Huaxi Village at dawn.
Last night, Zhao Yulin was pushed by Yangjin to serve Zhao Feiyan. The woman sucked the last bit of his strength out of him before she stopped. When he woke up, Feiyan was still sleeping. He fumbled out of bed to practice Tai Chi.
Yangjin has started practicing a long time ago.
The woman was sweating and wet from practice. When she saw him coming, she stopped immediately and asked him to teach her step by step.
Zhao Yulin said that the guards on both sides were watching him, what were they doing so early in the morning? The woman said that Feiyan had occupied his position when he came back, so what was the big deal about teaching Tai Chi? She couldn't practice the right posture, so she had to hold it while practicing.
Zhao Yulin was completely speechless, and went up to teach Yang Jin how to do Tai Chi. Yang Jin pretended to be an idiot and rubbed against him, which made him feel as if he was being scratched by a cat.
The young lady was filled with joy. While practicing, she said proudly that she couldn't help laughing when she saw Tai Chi. It reminded her of those guys who shirked responsibility and practiced Tai Chi in official circles. It would be even more amazing if those people could learn my Tai Chi.
Zhao Yulin was so angry that he almost exploded. He left Yangjin and went back to the study.
At this time, a fierce battle was still going on in Lin'an Prefecture.
Last night, Shi's son was defeated and fled in panic. After seeing a group of Shenwei soldiers dressed as beggars rushing into the city, he hid in the city wall and never saw any reinforcements.
These beggars were all strong and skilled in martial arts. As soon as they went up, they fought desperately with Yang Daquan's rebels, shouting that the Divine Mighty Army was coming.
The rebels saw that this group of people were extremely powerful and fearless, and were frightened when they heard that it was the Shenwei Army. They retreated immediately. After retreating through three streets, they realized that those who were fighting were all beggars in tattered clothes and holding dog-beating sticks. Only a few of them used machetes and bows and arrows, and some of them were using swords and knives like warriors. Then they suddenly realized that they were clearly fighting with a group of beggars.
The chief general, deputy general and lieutenant generals of the rebel army were all furious. They immediately drove their men to counterattack, attack and attack, to kill all these beggars and completely occupy the entire city.
The rebels had advanced weapons, and once they woke up, their fighting power increased dramatically. How could ordinary beggars be their opponents? The streets occupied by the beggars were soon captured by the rebels.
Fortunately it was the middle of the night, otherwise the rebels would have driven the beggar out of the city in minutes.
But this group of beggars were fearless and some of them even shouted: "Seventh Lord has ordered that we must die in the city." A few beggars with good kung fu formed groups and led their brothers to fight the rebels desperately.
Unfortunately, the weapons of these beggars were too useless and they were no match for the rebels with strong bows and crossbows. Seeing that the beggars were pressed to the city gate again, Shi Zizi was so scared that he immediately fled from the city and continued on his way.
At this time, a large group of beggars rushed in from outside the city to join the battle. Seeing that they could not squeeze in, they hit the ground with dog-beating sticks, making a popping sound, and shouted, "The Shenwei Army is coming, the Shenwei Army is coming." The dense sounds of sticks were like galloping war horses.
The rebels in the city were stunned by the sudden attack and their offensive was immediately reduced. The beggars' army quickly drove the rebels out of the two streets and gained a foothold.
This time, the beggars began to organize themselves again. Many of them shouted: Collect the weapons scattered on the ground to arm themselves. Their fighting power was quickly strengthened. They shouted: "The Divine Mighty Army is coming, the Divine Mighty Army is coming," and spread out in all directions.
Outside the city wall, groups of beggars shouted out their names: A thousand men from the Beggar Gang's Dazhi branch have arrived; three hundred men from the Beggar Gang's Dayi branch have arrived; Grandpa Qigong, your disciples are here.
Shi's son finally understood that it was the Beggars' Sect that came to seize Lin'an City under the banner of the Divine Power Army. The one who saved him was actually the beggar whom he usually didn't bother to even look at.
Suddenly, two dark shadows passed over his head, followed by a group of night walkers in strange clothes, mixed with many knights wearing the uniforms of the Divine Might Army. A piercing roar immediately rang out from the city: The Seventh Lord has arrived, Beggars' Sect disciples obey the Divine Might Army's orders and kill all the rebels in the city.
Then there was a roar like a loud bell: My fellow disciples, follow me and kill all these traitors.
Kill.
Then two loud noises were heard.
It turned out that the old East Evil and the old beggar had arrived. Seeing that the situation was critical, the two old guys threw the two thunder bombs they were carrying as grenades towards the place where the most enemies were.
The two explosions were like the horns of the march. Under the organization of the Shenwei Army general who had just run in, the Beggars' Sect's fighting power increased tenfold, and they quickly captured two streets. Beggars from outside the city kept running into the city to join the battle. More and more people came, and Yang Daquan's rebels were stunned and kept retreating.
Yang Daquan's troops were frightened by the defeat. He himself, sitting in the government office, couldn't understand why the troops carefully cultivated by Shi's son were no match for him. Why did he fail when he was about to occupy the whole city?
Yang Daquan personally went to the front line to supervise the battle, shouting, "Don't be afraid, they are just a bunch of beggars, kill them, and drive them into the bay to feed the turtles."
The two sides fought fiercely again.
The rebel generals were unwilling to accept victory even though it was within their grasp. They thought that they could not even defeat a bunch of beggars and yet they still wanted to establish their own small court. They led the charge, and the rebels' momentum suddenly increased. The battle became fierce at the west city gate.
The old beggar charged left and right with a spear in his hand, constantly reaping the lives of the rebels, shouting in pleasure, but his gray robe was already stained with blood.
The old East Evil was holding a long sword and killing the enemies erratically. When he saw the old beggar's body shaking, he was worried that he was injured, so he rushed over and asked: "Are you hurt, Hua Zi Tou?"
The old beggar laughed and said: The sword to bite him has not been made yet.
The old East Evil angrily said that Jing'er, the fool, had delayed a lot of time, otherwise the army would have entered the city long ago. Seeing that another street had been lost, he was worried that he would not be able to defend the city gate and would fail.
The old beggar, on the other hand, was shouting and yelling without a care in the world, and he fought with ease, shouting "Kill!" and "It was so exciting!"
The battle lasted until dawn. Both sides were tired of fighting and took a break across the street.
The old beggar laughed and said to the old East Evil: Forget it, if Jing'er doesn't come, we are afraid of losing. This time he was cheated by this stupid disciple.
Old Dongxie also shook his head helplessly, thinking that such a good opportunity was lost by his good son-in-law, and he was really unwilling to accept it.
The two were still sighing when the sky brightened and the rebels shouted and launched another attack.
Now it was clear that the rebels' arrows were accurate and the Beggar Gang disciples were shot dead as soon as they rushed out. The rebels became more powerful and rushed up shouting. The two old men rushed out without fear of life and death and fought with the rebels.
However, they still retreated step by step helplessly.
The charge of the Shenwei Army was finally sounded outside the city, and the sound of horse hooves like frying beans came flying. Our hero Guo led the vanguard cavalry into the city.
The Shenwei Army's revolving muskets fired from a distance, and after a burst of intensive shooting from Zhuge crossbows, the rebel line collapsed immediately.
At this time, the old beggar had been hit by an arrow on the shoulder, but he shouted with a smile on his face: Good disciple, good disciple, you are finally here.
The old East Evil went up and slapped Guo Jing so hard that he turned around twice with stars in his eyes. He cursed Guo Jing for being too stupid and said that if he had come half a day later, both of them would have died.
In fact, let alone half a day, even if they had arrived a stick of incense later, I'm afraid they would have had to leave the city. This is the key point.
Leaving the city would mean that the efforts of the two old guys would be in vain.
Guo Jing was stunned and at a loss. Seeing the guards around him also protecting him blankly, he shouted, "What are you looking at?"
Kill the enemy, follow me to kill the enemy.
Hero Guo was like a gust of wind, sweeping past Yang Daquan's rebel positions. Behind them, the Shenwei Army was continuously entering the city, and the surrounding garrisons had already entered all the counties in Liangzhe.
After lunch in Chengdu, Zhao Yulin went to Caotang Academy to attend the training meeting for officials from Liangzhe convened by Mr. Fan. The old gentleman knew that Zhao Yulin had a way to deal with this group of people, so he gave him the good opportunity to offend people and specifically told him to be present.
Zhao Yulin came to the meeting hall of the academy. The venue was already full of people, including Mr. Ding, Mr. Cao, and others.
Haha, old man Fan wants to hand the person over to Tai Jiantang, so he might as well invite two big shots at the level of state leaders to attend the meeting.
Cao Gong said disdainfully: "I hate this kind of quibbling meeting the most, it's meaningless." He took a look and found that many of these people were idlers who just wanted to get a job here.
As she was speaking, Yangjin shouted that it was time for a meeting and asked everyone to be patient.
This is a greeting to this group of people, saying "Quiet, quiet, the meeting is about to begin."
However, there were still many people in the hall who had not sat down. They were huddled together in groups of three or five and whispering. An old man was actually standing in the middle aisle with the jade tablet for court in both hands, as if it was still a court meeting like the officials of the previous dynasty, where he would come out to report on state affairs.
Mr. Fan was displeased and shouted in a deep voice: All of your names are on the table, please take your seats quickly.
Lao Cao got angry when he saw these old men and young people who didn't understand the rules of the New Song Dynasty. He said with an unhappy look on his face, "Look, they are all useless. What's the point of keeping them?"
Mr. Fan also looked helpless and loudly asked everyone to sit down.
Zhao Yulin felt that this was not a solution, so he turned aside and called the captain of the guard, Ke Zhenxie, to come over for instructions and start working according to the strategy he had implemented in disciplining officials in Jiankang Prefecture.
Zhao Yulin's guards immediately took action, rushing over to close the door of the conference hall, then running in to collect the empty seat signs and start counting them.
Those who had not yet sat down in the hall immediately panicked and shouted loudly, asking why this happened.
Were they supposed to sit down and discuss matters? Why did they take away their seat cards?
Zhao Yulin took a deep breath and yelled: Shut up and stand aside.
His booming voice echoed in the hall like thunder, and everyone fell silent.
