The devil is coming

Chapter 576 Nanhou Fenghua (1)
Xiaochenzhuang is an imperial village near Gyeonggi Province. On this day, Xiaochenzhuang's neighbor, the eunuch's godson's uncle's uncle, the little steward Zhou Fu led a group of villagers to pull out the grain from the cellar. Load the car and send it to Beijing.
Zhou Fu is quite old. His godson is only sixteen this year, but he is already forty-three years old. Therefore, this is also the reason why the eunuch in charge can be recognized as his godson.
How eloquent must the eunuch in charge be to accept Zhou Fu, an old gangster, as his godson?
However, Zhou Fu is actually one of the talkers in Xiaochenzhuang. The local yamen... let's consider Xiaochenzhuang as a yamen. There must be a group of people at the top who are making connections and occupying the turf. Shit, they are indispensable, but they are also indispensable who can actually do things.
People who don't really do anything can't handle the jobs above, let alone their own jobs.
In fact, Zhou Fu already had this position in Xiaochenzhuang seven or eight years ago. However, Huangzhuangzi near Gyeonggi Province was nominally under the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the early years, but in fact it was managed by the second prince. The head of the family village is also a member of the second prince.
Then, three years ago, Zhou Fu competed with another steward for the position of "confidant". The superior was naturally the steward eunuch who obeyed the second prince. As for them, they were competing for the position of "godson".
Zhou Fu and his rival Ma Quan'er exchanged money together to get close to the eunuch. As a result, something happened at Ma Quan'er's house. His wife was caught stealing a man. Everyone in Zhuangzi knows this.
The eunuch in charge didn't have a crotch. Although he also had an outhouse, he could only use Mr. Jiao to satisfy his addiction. In that regard, he has always had a low self-esteem. Therefore, I deeply sympathize with Ma Quan'er and just Promote him to be the real steward of Xiaochenzhuang.
Zhou Fu always believed that Ma Quan'er should have done it on purpose.
Because Ma Quan’s daughter-in-law, who has a big waist, a round face, and black buck teeth, is nicknamed Sai Boar. How can she still steal someone like this?
But no matter what,
Ma Quaner won.
Zhou Fu, who had been struggling in Zhuangzi all his life, was deeply exposed to the depth of "power struggle" for the first time;
Later, Ma Quan'er began to suppress Zhou Fu's side and deliberately bullied the people around Zhou Fu, as if he wanted to take out all the losses suffered by "Sai Ye Boar".
However, not long after, the first emperor passed away, and the rebellion among the princes began. The second prince began to secretly store weapons in the palace.
But before anything could happen, the imperial army rushed in, and the eunuch in charge was taken away, as was Ma Quan'er, along with Sai Yezhu and Ma Quan'er's son and daughter as their relatives.
Being involved in a major treason case, the starting price is that the whole family will be implicated.
Zhou Fu remembered the day Ma Quan'er was arrested,
He saw himself kneeling behind a group of forbidden soldiers,
Ma Quan'er shouted:
"Zhou Fu'er, Zhou Fu'er, I died for you, I died for you!"
no,
He died for himself.
Because Zhou Fu knew very well that even if he had outcompeted Ma Quan'er and became the chief steward under the eunuch in charge, when the superiors asked you to privately stockpile weapons in the village, could you object?Do you dare to object?
Ma Quan'er's whole family was beheaded.
Those days,
As each prince's rebellion failed,
There are countless people who have been killed.
However, Zhou Fu heard that none of the princes died. Now they were imprisoned in the palace and could only give birth to children.
For Zhou Fu, no, to be precise, for every commoner, this is a life lived by gods!
Ordinary people do not understand what it means to be depressed and unable to realize one's ambitions, nor do they know what it means to be unable to realize one's ambitions;
It is not easy for them to face the earth with their backs to the sky every day or push a cart to do work to earn the food ration money for the family. It is really difficult to understand that those princes and princes are imprisoned in the exquisite palaces with beautiful clothes and jade. How difficult it is to live with the same food and many women to serve you!
After Zhou Fu got drunk once, he
He slapped the mother-in-law who blocked him.
It’s neither festival nor year,
I took out some yellow paper from the cabinet, set up a brazier, and started burning the paper.
Burned for Ma Quan'er,
Burnt for racing wild boars,
Burn it to Ma Quan'er's children who would run to his father to plead for mercy when they were bullied by him.
The princes who started the rebellion were not killed. The scholar in the city said it was because the regent was benevolent and did not kill his siblings;
But Zhou Fu knew that it was because too many people like Ma Quan'er had died for them.
Zhou Fu seemed to understand some truth.
Therefore, after the new eunuch in charge came over, Zhou Fu did not move forward. Even though he had the loudest voice and even though he was popular among the people, he still refused to compete for the position because of his poor health.
He just acts like a little steward, which is fine.
Zhou Fu said to his son,
There are three types of people in this world:
One kind is a fairy in the sky; one kind is in the mud; and the other kind is a person walking on the ground.
The strong wind blew,
The immortals in the sky cannot be exposed to the sun or get wet, and they are wrapped in mud;
The ones that blew over were all running on the ground. They were jumping and dancing happily, and they really thought they were human beings!
"Yo!!!!!"
Wang Bangzi, who was driving the carriage, let out a long cry in his throat.
The mules also barked together, as if echoing him.
Wang Bangzi glanced in all directions with pride.
Following behind, Zhou Fu's son Zhou Dashan, who was sitting on the mule cart, whispered to his father:
"Dad, I heard the people who escaped from the north were talking about the Yangou attack."
Zhou Fu scolded: "Let's play ball. General Nian is guarding Zhennanguan. How can Yangou get in? Can they fly?"
The people in the capital area still have a very good impression of Nian Yao.
During the chaos among the princes, the people of the capital were most afraid of being implicated in the flames of war. As the saying goes, when gods fight, mortals suffer.
It was Nian Yao who led his army and quickly and accurately brought back the rebellious princes one by one. Although many heads were lost and many people were arrested, at least the capital did not encounter a large army crossing the border. .
"Dad, aren't I worried?"
"What are you worried about? What do you need to worry about? Your majesty has returned to Beijing. Don't worry, Yangou won't be able to come. I didn't see the big men from various families who passed by outside our village in the first half of the year. Soldiers and horses?
What is that for?
That is, those who go to the north to hunt Yangou. With so many people and so many armors, one spittle from each person is enough to drown the Yangou. "
"Yes, that's what dad said."
Zhou Fu looked around,
He deliberately lowered his voice and said to his son:
"Even if a call does come, no matter if it is our Majesty, our master, or Yangou, no matter what, someone will have to work the fields.
Birds and dogs also need to eat, and they cannot be full by just drinking water.
Last month, Dad and I asked your mother to pull some black cloth back.
After we finish delivering food to Beijing this time, we will go to the teahouse to listen to the direction of the wind from the north.
After you go back, let your mother and your wife cut the cloth first. It is not used to make clothes. Isn't the Yan people's flag black? "
Zhou Dashan's eyes immediately widened.
He never expected that his father would even prepare this.
Zhou Dashan wanted to ask more questions, but his old man stopped him with his eyes.
That's about it, there are so many people here, it's not good to keep whispering.
Zhou Fu leaned on the mule cart and looked towards the north, somewhat confused.
He didn't know what he was doing, he just wanted to live. People in Huangzhuang still lived a better life than people outside.
Because no matter what time, it is best to be greedy for official money.
If you take money from the noble lord, the noble lord will skin you.
But the official’s money,
Except Your Majesty,
Even His Majesty's son in the future is actually greedy for his money.
Therefore,
Zhou Fu didn't want to die. Now he could ensure that his family would always have meat and fish, and his life would be quite comfortable.
Alive,
live...
"Yo!!!!!!!!!"
Wang Bangzi cried again.
Every time he goes out to catch goods, he likes to play this game, as if he wants to tell the women in the farmer's shop that the work he does below is the same as that of a donkey.
however,
This time,
What responded to Wang Bangzi was not the cry of a mule, but a burst of thunder like an earthquake!
"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!!!!!!!!!!"
The earth,
It's really vibrating!
Wang Bangzi's mouth was not closed yet, he just looked behind him blankly.
Zhou Fu had already sat up.
look,
Staring hard to the north.
There,
There was a layer of black clouds, getting wider and deeper, and in an instant, the black clouds were overwhelming the city!
Zhou Dashan said stupidly:
"Which master's cavalry is so grand."
He was the one who told his father that he was worried about Yan Gou coming, but in fact, he was the one who least believed that Yan Gou would come.
instead,
Zhou Fu, who had previously shouted that Yangou could not come from General Nian, had already prepared the fabric for the black dragon flag.
at this time,
Zhou Fu slapped his son on the head.
scolded:
"The ball-cracker!"
immediately,
Zhou Fu shouted:
"Folks, stop, stop, kneel down, kneel down!!!!"
Zhou Fu jumped out of the mule cart, knelt down, put his hands on the ground in front of his head, and raised his butt high.
have to say,
This old man, who was born in Zhuangzi and grew up in Zhuangzi, had a family and a son in Zhuangzi. In fact, he had a talent that was beyond ordinary people in terms of saving his life.
He knelt down,
His son Zhou Dashan also immediately knelt down.
Others are still looking at you and me, feeling at a loss.
Zhou Fu buried his head,
shouted:
"It's Yan Dog... It's Yan Jun coming, Yan Jun is coming!!!"
Zhou Dashan's body trembled, Yan... Yangou is really here?
Everyone started to kneel down, following Zhou Fu's example, with their buttocks raised high.
Don't talk about running away,
If the darkness in the north is approaching rapidly, it is really the Yan army, then there is no point in running no matter how hard you run, can you ride a mule and outrun the Yan army's cavalry?
It seemed very slow, but in fact it was very fast. A group of Yan Army knights had already rode over, and they surrounded Zhou Fu and his group.
On the other side, the Yan army was still moving south quickly.
Zhou Fu didn't dare to look up, but he could sense something through the noise. He probably guessed that the goal of this Yan army... was actually consistent with their trip.
Yes,
Yingdu!
At this time,
A huge shadow appeared in front of Zhou Fu,
Waves of hot breath came over him, causing a burning pain all over Zhou Fu's body.
Zhou Fu had to raise his head.
He saw a huge ferocious beast standing in front of him.
"This this…………"
On the beast,
Also sitting was a majestic figure wearing gilt armor.
The man lowered his head slightly,
There seemed to be supreme majesty in his eyes.
Zhou Fu's whole body began to tremble. At this moment, he wanted to cry. He really wanted to cry, like when he was a child, he was bumped into a guest and hugged his mother's legs and cried.
You can’t blame Zhou Fu for not having the guts.
You must know that even the "daring" uncle could only bow his head every time under this gaze.
"How many soldiers are there in Jingli?"
Zhou Fu swallowed and forced himself to calm down so that he could speak coherently. He could no longer think about why the other party would ask him such a question as a farmer.
He just instinctively responded to the person in front of him with everything he knew, without even the slightest thought of resistance.
"Reply to your noble lord... Our batch of food... is to be sent to... those newly transferred soldiers who have been transferred to the main camp outside Beijing... ………food."
The man on the beast nodded slightly,
immediately,
The ferocious beast took a step forward, bypassed Zhou Fu and others, and began to continue running.
army,
Right in front of Zhou Fu and others, on both sides, they kept galloping past.
The dust flew up layer by layer and fell on Zhou Fu and other farmers in Xiaochenzhuang, but no one dared to get up and pat them away. They did not dare to wear good clothes when they went out to be ruined in this way. There is not the slightest complaint;
Everyone just has a tacit understanding, burying their heads lower and lower, and raising their buttocks higher and higher.
I don't know how long it's been,
No one counts, no one counts,
The sound seemed to have disappeared.
"Pfft!"
Zhou Fu tilted his body and fell sideways to the ground.
At his movement, other dealers also collapsed to the ground, and everyone gasped, as if they had been drowning and holding their breath for a long time.
"Son..."
"father…………"
Zhou Dashan stretched out his hand to help his old man, but because his legs were numb, he couldn't help him. Instead, he dragged the old man who was about to get up and threw him to the ground again.
"Pooh………"
Zhou Fu, who had chewed a mouthful of mud, had no time to scold his son.
But holding his hand,
Road:
"Go...go home, let your son and your mother hurry up, hurry up and make flags, make flags!"
After all,
Zhou Fu swallowed with some difficulty again,
He glanced south with lingering fear,
murmured:
"The sky is going to change... The sky is going to change..."
……
Looking for the river,
It was originally a place where wealthy and idle people from Yingdu gathered to play.
Chu people believe,
The water in the Mijiang River is contaminated with the breath of the fire phoenix, so it can eliminate disasters.
Not only do many nearby people choose to go to Mijiang River when they hold sacrifices, but even sick people will be carried to Mijiang River by their families to bathe. After illness, they will even come to Mijiang River to fulfill their vows;
Weddings and funerals are all inseparable from this river.
However, the only ones who can really feast here all day long are the dignitaries of the Chu region.
however,
Because the war in the north continues, and the local people may not know it, but the nobles know why the regent was trapped in Juyang City for so long.
Therefore,
In this atmosphere, there are far fewer people who are leisurely and continuing to have fun on Mijiang River.
But it’s not like no one is playing,
Because anytime, anywhere, there will be no shortage of fools if nothing is missing.
However, when the group of black-armored knights came galloping along the Mijiang River, no matter how stupid the person was, they finally realized that,
The sky seems to be falling!
Yingdu, which was originally able to maintain a romantic atmosphere no matter what, was forcibly exposed by this large-scale cavalry with the black dragon flag, and with an extremely charming attitude, all the beautiful appearances were broken!
The beacon tower of Yingdu was not lit during the rebellion of the princes.
There was billowing smoke.
Even if the Chu people who saw this wolf smoke rising last time were still alive, they would probably be living together for four generations now.
Outside Yingdu,
The Royal Imperial Guards from each major battalion began to quickly gather and dispatch, and they were rushing out;
The people in the periphery rushed towards the capital of Ying like crazy, dragging their families with them.
It's not that the soldiers didn't want to stick around and wait for reinforcements. No matter what time it was, staying in the city seemed to be the safest choice.
Just like the people who went to Beijing to do business back then,
Once the city gate is closed and the troops and horses are gathered,
Li Fusheng could only forcefully mobilize the gangsters captured nearby to attack the city to vent his anger.
But Yingdu is different,
The political significance of the capital basically exceeds its practical significance.
But among the Chu people, this kind of transcendence has been elevated.
If we count from the first generation of Chu princes, the Chu Kingdom has a history of 800 years.
When Meng Shou compiled the history of the Four Kingdoms, he actually calculated it based on this.
The capital of Da Chu was actually not fixed; it was always in motion.
When he first started his business, he was fighting with hundreds of tribesmen in Shanyue to grab territory. The capital was constantly moving forward. Wherever the flaming phoenix flag of the Marquis of Chu was, that was where the capital was.
Later, when the territory of Da Chu was almost pacified and the mountains became a minor problem, it was said that it was because the Fire Phoenix stopped in Mijiang that they chose to build their capital here. In fact, it was because this place was the core of the richest, most fertile and most densely populated area for the Chu people. .
The Xiong family established its capital here, and then ordered the nobles from all directions to defend and conquer the entire territory. They continued to suppress and assimilate Shanyue internally, and continued to expand and develop externally.
Among the four major Eastern countries, two have capitals that are highly defensive.
One is the State of Yan and the other is the State of Qian.
The Yan State had been fighting with the barbarians for too long, and the barbarians even herded horses under the Yanjing City for a time;
Ganren... In order to prevent the Yan people from going south, Ganren also forcibly changed the course of the Ganjiang River and dug a Bianhe River north of Shangjing.
In comparison, the capital of Jin State and Ying Capital of Chu State did not attach much importance to pure military defense.
The romance of Chu people actually contains a very strong self-confidence.
They built many scenic spots and historic sites outside Yingdu, but they were too lazy to build its city walls, because the Chu people felt that it was not necessary for the great Chu.
however,
this time,
Yan Jun is coming.
It came very quickly and suddenly, skipping the defense lines set up by the Chu people in the north. It was so sudden that it almost ignored the slightest way to retreat, and marched at a high speed to the outside of Yingdu.
When the black armor used by Dayan's cavalry appeared outside the city of Yingdu, and when the people of Yingdu saw the black dragon flags fluttering in large numbers, both the common people and the powerful felt as if they were dreaming.
Dream,
Wake up soon,
Waking up is not lonely,
No matter how romantic Chu people are, they can no longer create a lonely atmosphere at this time.
It's panic,
All the beauty was torn away, allowing Bing Feng to brush away the panic of thick rouge on his face.
King Jingnan rides Pi Xiu,
Come to the front of the army.
Many people think that pre-military training is a form of formalism, because the person speaking is actually not qualified in virtue.
The words of the Savage King, the words of Uncle Zheng,
It can often make the soldiers scream and forget the fear of life and death.
And King Jingnan,
In the hearts of Jingnan soldiers,
He is God!
then,
Dayan only has Zhenbei Army!
It's him,
With the rise of the Jingnan Army,
right now,
The towns of the Zhenbei Army can only fight together with the Jingnan Army.
Tian Wujing didn't like to talk too much, so most of the time, he would silently draw out his sword and be the first to charge.
This time, his eyes swept across the Jingnan soldiers in front of him.
Asked calmly:
"Are you tired?"
He spoke very calmly.
But with the blessing of Tian Wujing's third-grade peak warrior's energy and blood, it was like thunder.
All the soldiers drew their sabers and struck their armor,
Cheers:
"Tiger!"
"Tiger!"
"Tiger!"
When marching long distances, it is inevitable that people will be trapped and horses will be exhausted.
But they used this momentum to tell their prince,
They can still fight,
Dare to fight!
Tian Wujing said:
"My king, I'm tired."
In an instant, thousands of horses were silent.
The soldiers couldn't believe that their king would be tired.
But these words were spoken by the king himself.
An invincible king, a totem in the army, actually said in front of thousands of troops that he was tired.
Pixiu turned around,
Facing south,
There,
The Chu army is forming a formation,
farther,
You can already vaguely see the towering city walls of Yingdu that have little defensive value.
Tian Wujing turned his back to his subordinate, and to the Jingnan Army cavalry that he had created with his own hands.
He gently patted Pixiu's head under his crotch,
Pixiu opened his mouth,
spit it out,
It hovered in the air and finally fell into Tian Wujing's hands.
Tian Wujing held his gun at an angle.
Road:
"Surge into Chudu, seize the dragon throne, and let me rest."
----
Thank you to the Immortal Qitian for becoming the 149th alliance leader of "The Devil Comes"!
Don't wait tonight, I have to think about the following plot again, I don't know if there will be more, so I say good night first.
