Chapter 283: Great Confucianists Rebel!(1/2)
Chapter 283 Da Ru rebelled!
Author: Mu Yunfeng
Lishui.
In the dense forest outside the city, Liu Rong looked at the rapidly approaching fire in front of him.
Then Jin Yiwei's figure appeared.
Hundreds of mounted guards galloped along the road leading directly to the county seat, and soon the vanguard passed in front of him...
"Do it!"
he shouted.
Then the bowstring in his hand was loosened.
A sharp arrow hit the Jin Yiwei in front. Just as the latter screamed and fell down, the archers hidden in the dense forest shot out sharp arrows one after another. The Jin Yiwei who were caught off guard immediately fell down. More than a dozen Jin Yiwei immediately fell down. Those behind them seized the war horses in chaos, and then hurriedly
Throwing the torch into their hands and pulling out the blunderbuss, it was obvious that they were well prepared.
The production of this kind of flintlock short gun has increased rapidly in the past two years due to the increasing number of craftsmen.
Jinyiwei has been used extensively.
On the other hand, the long-barreled flintlock gun is not widely equipped. After all, the magic gun is still cheap.
Moreover, at present, the Ming army really has no enemies worthy of flintlocks. The short muskets are convenient for the Jinyi guards, but the cavalry is temporarily useless. Even the Liao vassal escort cavalry, which has the highest level of firearms, actually carries a matchlock gun on its back.
.
"Quickly, get rid of these ignorant minions. The master has been kind to us for generations. Today is the time for us to serve the Qi family!"
A subordinate next to Liu Rong shouted in the local dialect.
"Qi Ba, they have firearms and use medicinal arrows!"
Not far away another voice shouted in the same local dialect.
Those Jin Yiwei shot in confusion, and then quickly turned around. They were trying to reveal what their opponents were hiding. Although throwing torches did provide some concealment, it was still not as good as hiding in the woods.
Not to mention using poisonous arrows.
A group of Jin Yiwei took turns to open fire and cover, as if they had arrived in a hurry, and then turned around and retreated in a hurry.
This is no longer Jin Yiwei's job.
This is treason.
After all, Jinyiwei symbolizes imperial power.
Liu Rong smiled as he watched the Jinyi guards fleeing. He then waved to his subordinates and gave the order to retreat. The group of people quickly walked out of the woods and were talking in the local dialect. The content was of course the Qi family's hatred of Hun Jun.
They casually checked the dead bodies on the ground, took off a few of the Jin Yiwei's clothes, and then left quickly. Watching their backs disappear, a Jin Yiwei who was pretending to be dead quietly got up, pulled out the arrow on his body, and used it with his
He bandaged up his medicine bag, then mounted his horse and fled quickly. But Liu Rong and others were under Lishui City, relying on the help from the city wall, quickly climbed the city wall and returned to the city. This small city was only four miles away, and it didn't even have bricks.
It was still a rammed earth city wall, which was completely worthless to elites like them.
After entering the city, they went straight to the county government office.
This place is actually also controlled by them.
The magistrate of Lishui was a student of Fang Xiaoru and also supported Zhu Yunwen. Fang Xiaoru had already made up his mind to kill the emperor at all costs for the future of Confucianism.
So when we got here, we went directly to the county government office, and the magistrate called Qitai there.
County government.
"Brother Nantang, it is no longer a matter of interests. You and I are both disciples of Confucianism. How can we just sit back and watch the Confucian orthodoxy be destroyed in the hands of that foolish king and monster?
Check out these new books.
They use this to teach the next generation. In twenty years, who will read the books of sages?"
In the study room in the back garden, Fang Daru's obviously indignant voice came out.
"Don't try to harm me!"
Then came Qitai's pleading voice.
It was obvious that the discussion between them was not over yet.
Liu Rong suddenly opened the door speechlessly. The three people who were talking inside were startled and quickly turned to look at him. Liu Rong took the bloody clothes of the Jinyiwei from behind and simply threw them at Qitai's feet...
"Shang Shu Qi, my brother went out to bring you a few gifts, but they are only in the name of your Qi family."
he said with a smile.
Qitai looked at the bloody clothes of the Jin Yiwei on the ground in shock, and then wailed.
"Qi Shangshu, we have allowed most of the royal guards to escape. If my guess is correct, it will be time for the imperial officers and soldiers to arrive after dawn. Are you going to wait here for the officers and soldiers to come and confiscate your Qi family and destroy them, or do you go out and fight to the death?"
?You are also from a dignified Jiangdong family, and you have also been the Minister of the Ministry of War. You still do things like this. Do you think you can stay out of it by hiding at home? No matter whether King Guangze or Mr. Fang falls into the hands of His Majesty, you must be the first to be confessed.
It's only a matter of time before you raid your entire family and exterminate them all.
You have to make a decisive decision."
Liu Rong looked at Qi Tai with contempt.
"Nantang Gong, the students do not hesitate to do this, and it is the Confucian tradition that the princes are doing this.
The head can be severed.
The Confucian orthodoxy cannot be eliminated.
It is the responsibility of our generation to establish a heart for the heaven and earth, to establish a destiny for the people, and to carry forward the unique knowledge of the past saints. If we sit back and watch the Confucian orthodoxy being destroyed by stupid emperors and monsters, how can we face the sages? What's more, when the Emperor Daxing is still alive, he will do whatever he wants.
No matter how much Yang Feng tried to confuse him, he refused to change the imperial examination. Isn't it unfilial to change the imperial examination within a month of the new king's accession to the throne?
You are a former minister of the Daxing Emperor, how can you just sit back and watch at this time?
If the public raised his arms and called out his opposition to the reform of the imperial examination, wouldn't the gentry all over the world respond in droves?
There are the armies of the kings in the north, and the rebel divisions of the public are in the south.
What can you do?"
The magistrate said obviously excitedly.
"Brother Nantang, you and I are both former ministers of the great emperor, how can we sit back and watch the disobedient emperor rebel?"
Fang Xiaoru also said excitedly.
"Qi Shangshu, please be at ease. If you are willing to wait for death, we will not bother you and leave Lishui now."
Liu Rong shouted.
So you ran away and left me here waiting for the Jin Yiwei to come and ransack the house?
Qitai raised his head resentfully.
"Everyone, my Qi clan has been tricked by you now."
he said.
"If you hadn't done that before, how could we have tricked you? It's not that we tricked you, it's that you had no way of turning back. Yang Feng often said that adults must be responsible for their own choices."
Liu Rong said with disdain.
"Your Majesty, our Qi clan only has a few hundred young men. The army will be destroyed as soon as it arrives. Lishui is a place for righteousness, but it cannot be defended. We should go to Maoshan, and then go east to Taihu, Su Song, Zhejiang
We are all in the old land of Zhang Shicheng. The gentry all harbor resentment towards the Daxing Emperor, and the gentry all take the imperial examination as their way to get ahead. There should be righteous men to respond."
Qitai said to the magistrate.
"Then don't hesitate. Immediately arrange for the old, weak, women and children to board the boat to Shijiu Lake. They will each find a hiding place. They will enter the mountains of Huizhou left and right. No one can be caught. We will lead the youth to perform a heroic act of righteousness, and then go to Maoshan."
The magistrate said.
Qi Tai then looked at Fang Xiaoru.
"Where is King Guangze?"
he said.
"Kaifeng."
Fang Xiaoru said.
"This is not going to be easy!"
Qitai frowned and said.
Fang Xiaoru was stunned.
"If there's anything difficult to do, just find someone and say it's King Guangze. Su Song, there are a few people in Zhejiang who have met King Guangze. What's more, even if they recognize it's a fake, they can't get off the boat. At that time, they will naturally
If you make a mistake, you will make a mistake.”
Liu Rong said.
He is more clever than Fang Daru.
