The Great Bandit in Kangxi Year

Chapter 8 Money Rattails

The next day, Jiang Tao slept until he woke up naturally, but he didn't know that Cheng Zhang had been waiting outside the door for a long time, but he didn't have any more nightmares last night. So many traumas, but within a day, the scars have already formed, and normal actions are no longer hindered."

"I have always been dissatisfied with the corruption and incompetence of the Qing Dynasty, and I will not be a humble slave. What's more, I have always been proud and arrogant, and I will never obey the discipline of the Qing government. If you know the heroes of this era, even if you die, your life will not be in vain."

Thinking of this, the depression of the past few days was swept away, and Jiang Tao thought in his heart: Wu Sangui will rebel again soon, and finally the two armies will confront each other on both sides of the Yangtze River. It took Kangxi eight years to finally calm down three times. I must grasp these eight years well.

Thinking of his pride, Jiang Tao intentionally ate the tofu from Zicao, and smiled wretchedly, because Zicao was waiting for him to get dressed, and couldn't stop his pig's claws at all, so he blushed with embarrassment.

"Master Shaozhai is full of energy and looks great, and I am very pleased." Cheng Zhang pushed the door in without saying hello, and said pleasantly.

He also said: "The young master, the old man thought about it all night, and only felt that 30 people are too few, why don't we go out and contact the second master, so the chances of winning are better."

Jiang Tao felt awkward, so he quickly let go of the purple grass, laughed a few times, and said solemnly: "It's not good if there are too many people. I'm going to pretend to be a Qing army, sneak into the city of Gwangju, and wait for the opportunity."

Cheng Zhang jumped up all of a sudden, and shouted hoarsely: "If this is the case, wouldn't it be necessary to shave your hair and make it easier to wear? It's unreasonable. The Tartars issued an order to shave their hair and keep their hair. Countless heroes and righteous men insisted on it." If you don’t want to change your clothes, you will either be killed, or flee overseas, or escape into Buddhism, and lead your hair to practice. How can I pretend to be a Qing army! How can I wait..."

He sat down on the chair all of a sudden, panting heavily, his expression changed several times.

Jiang Tao didn't expect his reaction to be so big, and he was really afraid that he would be pissed off. However, Gwangju is a big city between the north and the south, with thick and strong walls, and a hard attack can only lead to death. He really can't think of any other way.

Looking at the frustrated Cheng Zhang, Jiang Tao was shocked and admiring. Although he was a bit pedantic and didn't know how to adapt, he was worthy of being a Chinese man. If all the men in the Ming Dynasty were like this, the Tartars would probably still be barbarians in Changbai Mountain. Woolen cloth.

Seeing that Cheng Zhang ignored him, Jiang Tao didn't know how to persuade him for a while, so he stopped talking.

After a while, Cheng Zhang coughed heavily, breaking the peace in the hall, and he said lonely: "I'm really getting old, and you young people will rule the world from now on."

Jiang Tao said softly: "Third Uncle, take care of your health. You are a wise man in the cottage. My nephew will be back in ten days and half a month. Don't worry about it. You can arrange to shave the brothers' hair, and my nephew will come right away."

Cheng Zhang left in a daze, indescribably bleak, and Jiang Tao couldn't help feeling overwhelmed. China has a vast land and rich resources, and there is never a shortage of hot-blooded men, but they are always invaded by foreigners. Who is wrong?Thinking of the sorrows since the Qing Dynasty, more than 100 unequal shameful treaties were signed one after another, which made myself a bit ashamed as a bandit.

"Why do you think about this, I'm a bandit." Jiang Tao smiled wryly in his heart.

Hearing Zicao's weeping suddenly, Jiang Tao hugged her with one hand, rubbed her hair with the other hand, and said with a light smile, "Don't cry, wait for me to come back."

But I was thinking in my heart: "Sin, it's a pity that she is only a child..."

Zicao went from fear to loathing, and now she had to be attracted by him, she just felt a little unreal, thinking about the possible fate of her parents, she was uneasy, and after a while, she said: "Young master, don't miss the time, this servant is here Go get some food."

Jiang Tao chatted and laughed, let go of her, and said in his heart: "This era is cool, if you want to get it, just grab it, and be polite to Kangxi, wouldn't you be sorry for the party and the people?"

........................... ..
An hour later, Jiang Tao and the thirty elite bandits all shaved into the money rat tail hair style in the early Qing Dynasty. At first, no one was willing to shave.

Wang Haoran saw the whips with thin mouse tails on their bare foreheads, and he must be the same, with mixed feelings in his heart: "Hey, why is it different from the whips on TV? Could it be that the rules are wrong? Damn it, if I will stand up all my life Wearing such a small braid, I am not so depressed! When I come back, I must cut it off."

He hurriedly looked at Cheng Zhang, but saw that Cheng Zhang was frowning, not saying a word, with a solemn expression, as if his soul was wandering into the sky.

Jiang Tao saw everyone gloating and staring at his little braid, and his eyes almost burst out of laughter.

Jiang Tao knew that his current appearance must be very funny, and laughed and scolded: "What do you look at, do you also want to shave this rat's tail and head? Why are you so full that you have nothing to do? Why don't you get out of here."

Everyone touched their heads, laughed loudly, and ran away in an instant.

Jiang Tao glanced at Zicao, saw that she was looking at him very reluctantly, wanted to comfort Zicao a few times, but didn't know what to say, so he stopped thinking about it, smiled at her, and bid farewell to the worried Cheng Zhang, took a last look at the cottage, and led the horse down the mountain, only to find Jiang Shi hiding among the crowd going down the mountain.

"Jiang Shi, what are you doing with me? What a nonsense, have you done what I entrusted to you?" Jiang Tao scolded softly.

"He's dead, it's the order of the third family, brother, take me with you." Jiang Shi whispered, looking very pitiful.

"Oh? No, guarding the cottage is the key, and I will definitely take you with me in the future." Jiang Tao waved his hands repeatedly, and then laughed and cursed: "I lost the cottage, and I will see how I deal with you."

"Brother, thirty sets of Qing army uniforms are ready." A righteous brother ran over and interjected.

"Well, take good care of Third Uncle. Take care! Don't go back yet!"

"Brother, take care!"

……

The mountains and rivers are beautiful, the azaleas are singing, the air is fresh, Jiang Tao is in a good mood, such a beautiful scenery, if in the previous life, living in seclusion here with no worries about food and clothing, it is really a dream.

A group of 31 people, each leading a horse, carrying a thousand taels of gold and silver and three days of dry food, was high-spirited. Wang Dashan led the way in front, and Jiang Tao was in the middle. Some strange thoughts suddenly popped up in his mind: it is the 12th year of Kangxi, Isn't it that Kangxi is only about 20 years old, and now the autumn is bright and refreshing, I don't know what he is doing?
