SWORD STAINED WITH ROYAL BLOOD TRANSLATION

Chapter 11

The eleventh time of generosity and hatred

Yuan Chengzhi jumped on the top of the box, threw the boxes down one by one, the dumb caught them one by one and put them on the cart. Qingqing smiled and said: "They hurt many of these people, and they only touched a few times outside the iron box. Do you say whether you made a profit or lost? You have to ask your master brother to use the iron abacus to calculate." Only listen to the horn from a distance. Repeatedly, the crowd was noisy, and sure enough, a large group of men and horses arrived. Yuan Chengzhi said: "With these many officers and soldiers, the thieves dare not come again. Let's go." Examining the vehicle service, fortunately, there was no damage.

Just about to start, hundreds of officers and soldiers split into two teams and rushed first. One of the chief wielding a long sword, shouted: "What did you do?" Hong Shenghai said: "People on the road." The chief said: "Why are there blood stains and weapons here?" Hong Shenghai said: "There is The strongman blocked the road and robbed the road. Fortunately, the officers and soldiers arrived and scared the strongman away." At this time, several teams of officers and soldiers went to chase the retreated group of thieves. The boss looked at the iron box on the big car obliquely, and asked coldly: "What are those things?" Hong Sheng Haidao: "It's luggage." The boss said: "Open it and take a look." Hong Sheng Haidao : "It's some personal clothing, nothing special." The general said: "I said to open, just open it, what are you talking about?" Qingqing said: "I didn't bring any illegal things, what are you looking at?" The general cursed. Said: "You guys are so horrible!" Lifting the long knife upside down, smashed the chuck of the knife bar with his head. Qingqing dodges to avoid.

The ten iron boxes are strong and sturdy, and they are supposed to be loaded with valuables. They became greedy at first sight. Then they took the opportunity to shout, "Good boy, dare to resist arrest? Hey, brothers, confiscated the stolen goods!" The officers and soldiers robbed the people of property, so much to say? As soon as the word "confiscation" was heard, more than a dozen officers and soldiers rushed forward to lift the iron box. That one was always vicious, I was afraid that the victim would sue the Shangguan, and shouted: "These are bandits and gangsters, dare to resist the officers and soldiers, and kill them all!" He immediately carried the knife and killed it. Yuan Chengzhi was furious and thought: "If we don't know how to martial arts, wouldn't we kill him. This person doesn't know how many good people he has killed?" When he was cut with a steel knife, he turned away and hit him with a palm. vest. How can this person bear this palm? Knocked down the horse and was killed immediately. All the officers and soldiers screamed: "The strongman blocked the road, robbed the water transport, robbed the water transport!" The leading officers and soldiers were charged by Qingqing, Dumb, and Hong Shenghai.Fleeing in all directions, but a large group of people from behind followed. Yuan Chengzhi picked up the general knife and waved it off. The dumb and the other three led the convoy and retreated into the forest.

I could only hear the cries of gold and iron, but I saw that the officers and soldiers in the woods were fighting with the Shandong group robbers and the green bamboo gang. Although the thieves have martial arts, they can't stop the large numbers of officers and soldiers, and they have been defeated in a short time. Sha Tianguang and Cheng Qingzhu were both seriously injured. No one was leading them. The robbers fought independently. They were surrounded by piles of officers and soldiers, and the screams came and went one after another. Yuan Chengzhi and Qingqing gathered the team in a corner of the woods. Qingqing said: "What to do?" Yuan Chengzhi said: "Help the robbers, kill officers and soldiers!" Qingqing said: "Yes!" Yuan Chengzhi said: "You stay here!" Qingqing nodded and agreed, and defended one with the dumb and Hong Shenghai. Xiaojiao, the officers and soldiers came to kill immediately. Seeing that the three were fierce, the officers and soldiers did not dare to approach very much for a while. Yuan Chengzhifei was on top of the tree and looked around the situation, only to see that Ajiu and the leaders of the green bamboo gang were besieged by dozens of officers and soldiers. The situation was very sinister. He immediately threw himself down, his left arm grew out, and two thorns flew away. Xiang Jiu's iron spear shouted: "Return to the hills of the west side!" Jiu was startled, and an officer slashed at her with a knife. Yuan Chengzhi kicked the steel knife away, punched the officer in the chest, and hit the officer with blood and fell on his back. Ah Jiu blew the bamboo whistle, and the gang of the Green Bamboo Gang retreated westward and gradually gathered. Yuan Chengzhi came and went horizontally and ordered the Shandong group of thieves to also retreat westward. Seeing that there were thieves surrounded by officers and soldiers who could not get out, he immediately rushed to rescue. Everyone gathered for a while, the momentum was strong, and under the leadership of Yuan Chengzhi, they fought and retreated and went up to the hill. Yuan Chengzhi led dozens of gangs of high-level martial arts thieves and rushed down to lead Qingqing and other convoys to work. The officers and soldiers shouted and shouted under the guard, surrounded by groups.

Yuan Chengzhi ordered the group of thieves to launch hidden weapons and guard the hills. The group of thieves had been defeated, and everyone's life was hard to protect. Suddenly someone came out to take them out of danger. How could they be careful not to be ordered to him? More than 200 officers and men rushed to the post and were shot back by a concealed weapon, killing and wounding dozens of people. The officers and soldiers marched forward courageously when they were victorious. Once they were frustrated, everyone was afraid of death. Who would give up their lives to attack the mountain? Everyone shouted loudly, perfunctory officers, but the sound of killing was shocking, but there were people in the front, no soldiers in the successor, and no officers and soldiers approached. Yuan Chengzhi arranged the defense and ordered the two masters of Tan, Chu Hongliu, Hong Shenghai, and Ajiu to lead a team to defend one side.The rest rescued the dying and healed the wounded and rested on the spot. He massaged Cheng Qingzhu again, and then gave Sha Tianguang push the palace. After a while, the two fell asleep on the hill one after another. The Shandong group robbers and the Qingzhu gang helped everyone see that the leader was unharmed, and even more admired Yuan Chengzhi. Yuan Chengzhi said to Qing Qing: "There are too many officers and soldiers, and they are not capable of the enemy, so they can only be outsmart." Qing Qing said: "Yes, what kind of strategy should I use?" Yuan Chengzhi asked a thief who was familiar with the local terrain for a while, then jumped Going on the roof of the car and inspecting the formation of the officers and soldiers, they saw that there were a large number of heavy vehicles in the rear of the officers and soldiers. With a thought, they jumped off and said to Qingqing, "What was the name of the officers and soldiers to rob the water transport?"

At this time, Chu Hongliu was taken over by Huaiyin Shuangjie to rest. Hearing Yuan Chengzhi's question, he said, "These officers and soldiers must have been transporting Cao Yin. We just happened to meet, which is really a coincidence." Yuan Chengzhi said: "Transport. Caoyin, why do you want a brigade of officers and soldiers?" Chu Hongliu said: "Now that there is a great chaos today, and the heroes are all together, where is the hero who has not opened the mountains and cabinets? The imperial court relies on the Caomi and silver rations shipped from the south of the Yangtze River to distribute food. Chongzhen has to defend itself. The Manchurian soldiers in Liaodong had to deal with King Chuang and heroes from all walks of life. This Cao Yin was his lifeblood. If something went wrong, his Long Court would be unstable, so naturally he had to send more men and horses to escort him. Water transport by the canal, I think the emperor was in a hurry for money, so it was transported by land." Yuan Chengzhi said: "These officers and soldiers carry such a heavy burden on them, and they actually come to take care of their affairs and make things difficult for others." Chu Hongliu He smiled and said: "They thought that we would catch them all in a blink of an eye. They only need to install a few powerful bandits of what kings and stars, and report them. Isn't it a great achievement?" Then he said: "We are bandits and strongmen. It’s not wrong, but it’s a pity that I’m tired.” Yuan Chengzhi sighed, “The officials forced the people to rebel. Today, I can teach me to meet it personally.” After pondering for a moment, he said, “There’s a gulf to the northwest here, let’s Go out over there."

At this time, Chu Hongliu admired him so much that he would have any objections, and said: "Please Yuan Xianggong, everyone listens to the orders." Yuan Chengzhi drew a picture on the ground, and the plan to break through has been decided, and he will allocate it immediately. manpower. After an order, the robbers shouted in unison. Yuan Chengzhi and the dumb were the first to clear the way, leading the crowd to rush to the layoffs. The officers and soldiers were already sluggish and weary. Except for a few who were ordered to guard, the rest had sat down and rested on the spot.Suddenly, a group of thieves suddenly rushed in, and the coming was fierce, and after a little resistance, they were pierced through a hole. The group of robbers ran straight to the xiakou, and the officers and soldiers yelled and then chased. After chasing for a while, dozens of thieves behind the palace suddenly turned around and invited them to fight, blocking the chase of the officers and soldiers. When the brigade of officers and soldiers attacked, the gang behind the palace had also retreated into the gorge.

There were peaks and cliffs on both sides of the gorge, and the situation was treacherous. As soon as the officers and soldiers chased into the gorge, they led the captain to order a suspension to prevent falling. Suddenly an iron box in the cart in front rolled down, the lid of the box flipped open, and the road was littered with precious jewels, sparkling. The commander-in-chief was overjoyed and ordered a rush to snatch all the ten treasure chests. After chasing for a while, they saw a group of thieves throwing down their armored weapons and running wildly, and the roadside was full of gold bricks and silver ingots. All the officers and soldiers rob me, and they are in a mess. Seeing the group of thieves collapsed, the general soldier was throwing weapons everywhere. He no longer had any precautions, he wanted to grab the treasure chest, and ordered the front, middle, and back three teams to rush together.

There are differences in education: you might as well fall behind against foreign enemies, and you must fight for the gold and silver. At this time, Yuan Chengzhi had leaped onto the cliff, using his hands and feet together, pulling the vine branches and trees on the stone wall, copying to the back of the officers and soldiers. After walking for a while, I saw vehicles from the officers and men snaking one after another, and countless vehicles were covered with yellow cloth, and flags were planted on the vehicles. The flag said "Daming Jiangnan Water Transport". With a few red letters, looking from above, the convoy is as straight as a yellow dragon of incomparable length. Seeing this situation, Yuan Chengzhi was surprised and delighted. What was surprised was that the officers and soldiers were so powerful that they were not easy to confront the enemy. What was delighted was that if they could rob the canal transport, it would be a blow to the big enemy, Emperor Chongzhen, and it would be easier to break into the king's righteous army. , It is a wonderful work. Seeing the dense trees under the slope, he immediately went down through the forest, so you should see the caravan from nearby. In a moment, when he was close to the ranks of officers and soldiers, under the cover of trees, even the words of the officers and soldiers could be heard clearly. The vehicles continued and rumbled past. After a long time, the noise of the cars was gradually fading, and the vehicle seemed to be no longer silver. Looking out from the gaps in the trees, there were more than a hundred prison vehicles. The prisoners in the cars were sitting cross-legged with their hands tied together. Each car was stuck with a white flag with the words "Waiting to kill the giant gangster" and so on. What kind of "Jiangyang Thief", "Traffic Bandit Leader", "Rebellion" "The first", "Huainan giant thief", etc., are obviously hungry people or copycat chiefs who resisted the imperial court. Yuan Chengzhi thought: "These people must be rescued.But how do you start? "I was thinking about it, and suddenly I saw a car coming over, with the nine-character "Hou Zhan rebellious, Sun Zhongshou" written on the flag. Yuan Chengzhi was taken aback, and after a few steps, he saw that the car sitting in the car was indeed Sun Zhongshou. Seeing that his temples are white and his face is full of wind and frost, he is much older than when he led his fellow robes on Shengfengzhang to pay homage to his handsomeness. However, he is generous and demeanor, even in the midst of difficulties, it still remains the same. Yuan Chengzhi was surprised and undecided, and saw that all those who were pushed from the prison cart behind were the father’s old ministry. Ni Hao, Zhu Anguo, and Luo Daqian, who taught him to raise him at the time, were all in it, but Yingsong was not seen. Yuan Chengzhi felt sad. , Then secretly rejoiced: "God has eyes, teach me to bump into all the uncles today. "Soon after the prison wagon passed, Yuan Chengzhi ran up several feet and chased it back. The officers and soldiers caught sight of them, and some clamored, and some shot arrows. But Yuan Chengzhi was quick in his body, and when the arrows arrived, people would have disappeared long ago. He ran for several tens of meters, the army of officers and soldiers was exhausted, and the last officer was riding on the horse, holding the army with a big knife. Yuan Chengzhi thought to himself: "I will hold this officer, make trouble for a while, and then take the opportunity to rescue Uncle Sun and Uncle Zhu. they. "I was about to fly down, and suddenly I saw the dust flying in the distance, several horses came, thinking: "It turns out that there is a connection behind, wait until they come to see and understand. "In a short while, Wu ran on horseback. The first one was a woman, but Sun Zhongjun, the flying witch, and the next four were the second senior brother Gui Xin Shu and his wife, Mei Jianhe, and Liu Peisheng. Yuan Chengzhi was overjoyed and shouted: "Second Brother ! "Feishen fell and landed in front of Gui Xinshu and his wife. The Gui family reined in their horses together. When they saw him, Gui Erniang nodded and said, "Yeah!" It's you, what are you doing? "Yuan Chengzhi said: "The younger brother has an urgent matter, so I ask the brothers and sisters to reach out for help. "Gui Erniang said: "We have important matters ourselves, we are not free!" "He and Gui Xinshu raised the reins, and the two riders passed him on both sides and rushed forward. Mei Jian and arched his hands shouted: "Uncle Master! "Followed Master and Madam. Liu Peisheng jumped off the horse and said, "Master and Madam have an important matter. After the disciple had done it, he immediately came over to listen to the uncle's dispatch. "Yuan Chengzhi said: "That's not necessary, I will take a seat on Brother Liu's livestock." "Liu Peisheng said: "Uncle Master, please use it." "Handing over the reins. Yuan Chengzhi said: "We can ride together and just catch up with the officers and soldiers in front. "Speaking of flying on a horse. Liu Peisheng also jumped onto the horse. Yuan Chengzhi clamped his legs and the horse was running fast. Liu Peisheng asked, "What is the uncle chasing the officers and soldiers for?" "Yuan Chengzhi said: "Save people!" "Liu Peisheng said with joy: "That's great, we are also looking for the bad luck of the officers and soldiers.""When Yuan Chengzhi heard overjoyed, he urged the horse to rush forward. After a while, he saw the back of the detainee officer. But Gui Xinshu and others had not been seen, and he thought he had already grabbed his head. Yuan Chengzhi rushed forward. The detainee The guerrilla heard the hooves screaming behind him. When he looked back, he saw a figure jumping from the horse's back and leaping forward. He was shocked and swept the man in the air with a big knife. Man intends to cut the man in two with a single knife. Chengzhi stretched his right hand forward and grabbed the hilt of the knife. The body was already on his horse, and his left hand hit his back heart acupoint earlier. The guerrilla only felt that his vest was tingling, and he was unable to move while he was struggling. Yuan Chengzhi asked, "Dying or Want to live? "The guerrilla trembled: "Big... the prince is spared." Yuan Chengzhi said, "Hurry up and order all the prison cars of the rear team to stop." "The guerrilla had to give orders. Suddenly, Gui Xinshu and his wife rushed out of the woods, and the five masters and apprentices drew out their weapons and killed them in the army. The team was in chaos. Yuan Chengzhi originally planned to force the guerrilla command team. , Let the officers and soldiers kill each other in the chaos, but when Gui Xin Shu and others suddenly came to do it, the officers and soldiers' rear team was in a mess, but this strategy was not working.

Yuan Chengzhi grabbed two hatchets, rushed to Sun Zhongshou's prison car, smashed the driver, and shouted, "Uncle Sun, I am Yuan Chengzhi." Sun Zhongshou was lost in his dream. Yuan Chengzhi has rescued Zhu Anguo, Ni Hao, Luo Daqian and others.

These people are all warriors who have experienced hundreds of battles. Although they are old now, the heroic wind is still there. They robbed weapons, some killed officers and soldiers, and some smashed prison vehicles to save people. In a moment, more than 100 prison vehicles were all Chopped and released more than a hundred heroes. Three dozens of them were old companions of the "Mountain Sect" under Yuan Chonghuan's tribe. I heard that it was the superintendent son who came to rescue him. They were all very excited. Flee before. At this time, the front team of officers and soldiers had also discovered that the huge stone in front was blocking the road, impassable, and there was immediate chaos at both ends. Yuan Chengzhi saw that the officers and soldiers were in chaos, but the number was so large that they were pressing hard. He really fought his life, but he couldn't resist it. At the moment, he set aside his double axe, unfolded light work, and jumped on top of a long row of water transport vehicles. Will run over. Walking out of Lixu, I saw the leader of the army wearing an iron helmet, dancing a long sword with his forehand, and commanding the battle. Yuan Chengzhi rushed forward, pushed the two soldiers who had stopped him into the pit, and jumped onto the horse's buttocks of the general soldier's mount. The general soldier came back and slashed, and Yuan Chengzhi took it with his hand.Unexpectedly, the general soldier turned off his horseback in a somersault, and failed to grasp his wrist. Yuan Chengzhi said in his heart: "Unexpectedly, there are still such good players among the officers and soldiers." With a raised left hand, three coins were issued. What made it was Mu Sang's method of handing out Go pieces. The generals opened them one by one with a long knife. Yuan Chengzhi said: "Good skill! Look at it again." With a continuous wave of both hands, 39 and 27 coins were hit in three ways at the same time. Even martial arts masters are not easy to resist this time. Although the general martial arts are strong, how can they avoid this "full sky and rain" technique? When there was a cry, the long knife was first released, then the knees, waist, waist, vest, and shins were hit with coins, and he knelt toward Yuan Chengzhi. Yuan Chengzhi smiled and said, "You don't need to be polite!" He stretched out his hand and took his left arm. The general soldier punched in the chest, with great force. Yuan Chengzhi smiled and said, "Just let you punch out your breath." This punch clearly hit his chest, but it was like hitting a ball of cotton, silently and without force. Yuan Chengzhi lifted his internal strength and lifted the general soldier and threw it upward. Seeing him flying straight up like a broken kite, all the officers and soldiers shouted. The general soldier would die if he divided himself. He closed his eyes, but when he fell, he was held by his hands and opened his eyes. He was still the boy dressed as a scholar. He knew that this man's martial arts was ten times higher than his own. Since it fell into his hands, he was irresistible, and life and death had to be ignored. What's more, even if it is hard to put it in, there is no way to put it.

Yuan Chengzhi said: "You ordered all the officers and soldiers to throw away their swords and spare you not to die." The soldier thought to himself: "How important is the transportation of the water. If it was robbed by the thieves, it would be a capital crime anyway." So he said with a sharp neck. "Kill if you want to kill, why bother to say more." Yuan Chengzhi smiled, with a strong hand, and then threw his body into the air. When he fell, he threw it again. After threw it three times in a row, the soldier was dizzy and he didn't know. Where are you. Yuan Chengzhi said: "If you don't give the order, you will die and your subordinates will not survive. It's better to surrender." The commander thought that this was the only way to survive at the moment, so he nodded. Yuan Chengzhi asked: "Your surname?" The general soldier said: "The young general's surname is Shui." He decided to be sure, and ordered the lieutenants, participating generals, guerrillas, and Dusi under his hand to call, and the generals heard. To surrender the thieves, staring at each other in fright. All the members scolded: "You are not loyal to the emperor..." Before he finished speaking, Yuan Chengzhi had caught him and fell to the ground, and immediately fainted. The rest of the generals trembled and said: "Under the bid... the general seat will order.Shui Zongbing said: "Order a truce! "Yuan Chengzhi also gave an order to order the Shandong group of thieves to stop fighting, and also ordered the Shui soldiers to drop their swords. Shui soldiers had no choice but to follow their words. Under the torch shining, only the soldiers of both sides died together. Suddenly they saw five people. Running around in the convoy, rumbling and searching, opened many cages, and saw that there was silver and food, and kicked aside. The officers and soldiers saw that the five men were evil, and they did not dare to stop them after they were defeated. They rushed to approach, it turned out to be Returned to the Xinshu couple and the five masters and apprentices. Yuan Chengzhi cried, "Second Brother, what are you looking for? I asked them to take it out. "When Gui Xinshu saw that the commanding soldiers were all gathered beside Yuan Chengzhi, three ups and downs, they had already rushed to Chief Shui, grabbed him by the chest, and lifted them up. Shui was still in shock, so he didn't want to meet again suddenly When I reached a person with extremely high martial arts, I caught him, no matter how hard he struggled, it was useless. Gui Xinshu shouted: "Where is the Fuling Shou Wuwan, which is immediately tribute to the British, is hidden? "Shui Zongbing said:" Governor Ma suspected that our cars were too slow to walk, so he sent another person to Beijing. "Gu Xin Shu said: "Is this really true?" Shui Zongbing said: "My wealth and life are in your hands, why bother to lie?"

Gui Xinshu thought that it seemed that this was true. He threw him to the ground and shouted: "If you find you nonsense and deceit, come back and take your dog's life." Turning to return to Erniang and said: "Go ahead." Erniang hugged the child, her heart was irritable, she stood up with one palm, and beat the officers and soldiers in front of her to a swollen nose. She took her three apprentices and left with her husband. Yuan Chengzhi knew that the two senior brothers and his wife had a grudge against them, but they were silent. After the five went, they asked Chief Shui Bing, "What pill are they looking for?" Shui Zongbing was captured and surrendered to the enemy. He was upset and unwilling to guard the house. He wondered if his family would decree the emperor. The future of his fame and fame has since been paid off. Yuan Chengzhi asked one after another. He answered all the questions and didn't know what to say. After talking for a long time, Yuan Chengzhi got a general idea. It turns out that a piece of Tuckahoe was found in the deep valley of Huangshan Mountain. It is estimated that it has been more than a thousand years old. By coincidence, someone in eastern Zhejiang has dug up a human-shaped Polygonum multiflorum. Both of these are rare treasures. Fengyang Governor Ma Shiying got the message, and the client bought half of it by force and bought it at half price. He ordered a master pharmacist to make 80 Poria Shouwu pills, which were also accompanied by precious medicinal materials such as Laoshan ginseng and pearl powder. The cost of medicinal materials alone cost 20,000 to 30,000 silver. This incident caused a sensation in Jiangnan officialdom and the medical industry. According to the ancient prescription, this pill has the magical effect of bringing back the dead.People with weak physique can see results immediately after taking only one pill. Ma Shiying kept forty pills for the next 40 years to take one a year, and the remaining 40 pills went to pay tribute, hoping that Chongzhen would be the emperor for another 40 years and be promoted every year. Yuan Chengzhi could understand easily, and said in his heart: "That's it, the second elder brother's love son is sick, and he can't heal for a long time, so I am anxious to get these pills."

Shui Zongbing said again: "Governor Ma wanted to send me to send the Baoyao to Beijing, but later thought that our cars were too slow, and the death row was unlucky, so he sent Dong Biaotou from Jinling Yongsheng Escort. Escorted to Beijing and dedicated to the emperor." As for Governor Ma's own forty left, it is a secret of heaven, and even the concubine Ji, who is most favored by him, will not be mentioned. Naturally, Chief Shui will not know.

Yuan Chengzhi wholeheartedly hoped that the second elder brother could grab the pills and save the child's life, and asked hurriedly, "How many days has the guard gone?" Shui Zongbing said, "The departure was on the same day, but there were only ten escorts. Personally, the journey is much faster, and it is always five or six days away to pretend to be before us." At this time, old generals such as Sun Zhongshou, Zhu Anguo, Ni Hao, Luo Daqian came over to meet each other. Everyone has to get rid of the difficult situation, and see Yuan Chengzhi grow up and be a martial artist. Although today's battle is a small test, it is already a little bit more powerful than that of his father, and there are all surprises. When Yuan Chengzhi asked about the reason for his arrest, Sun Zhongshou briefly said. It turned out that the old friends of the "Mountain Sect" gathered at Shengfengzhang that day, and the Ming soldiers made a surprise attack. Fortunately, most of the people had already dispersed, but Yingsong was finally killed. Sun Zhongshou and others escaped, and later gathered again. The crowd gathered in the area of Huaibei and Lunan, preparing to make a big move. No matter how secret the governor is, they were broken by Fengyang Governor Ma Shiying last month. The chief figure was captured in one go, and the Weapon System went to Beijing to ask for it. Fortunately, by a coincidence, I met Yuan Chengzhi here.

Sun Zhongshou heard that Yuan Chengzhi had been in contact with King Chuang and said, "My son, there are thieves and a large number of officers and soldiers who surrendered here. They admire you very much. This is a rare opportunity. Why not postpone your visit to Beijing, This group of people should be rectified." Yuan Chengzhi said with joy: "Uncle Sun is right, there are a lot of heroes in this area. Let's do a good job and find a place to gather the heroes." Sun Zhongshou patted his thigh.Said: "Excellent, why not be in Mount Tai?" Yuan Chengzhi said: "Mount Tai is not far away, no matter how good it is." At the moment, he packed up the treasures scattered in the iron box, and took out two hundred thousand taels of water transport silver. *Distributed to the Qingzhu Gang and the gang pirates in various villages in Shandong. Chu Hongliu also got five thousand taels. Two hundred thousand taels were taken out to reward the officers and soldiers who surrendered. For a while, there was thunderous cheers around the canyon. The officers who surrendered were always depressed, and only when they were divided into a large amount of silver did they feel refreshed. I saw the two gang members of the Qingzhu Gang carrying a stretcher and bringing the gang leader Cheng Qingzhu over. Seeing blood on his face, Yuan Chengzhi said with joy: "Bang Master Cheng’s injury healed very quickly, which shows that his inner strength is profound." Cheng Qingzhu said: "Thank you, son, I am really happy to learn that son is the flesh and blood of Governor Yuan. Extremely." At this point, there was a slight whimper in his voice. Yuan Chengzhi said: "Does the Cheng Gang master know his father back then?" Cheng Qingzhu shook his head, and ordered his entourage to take out a scroll of manuscripts from a cloth bag and hand it to Yuan Chengzhi, saying: "The son knows this after reading this. ."

Yuan Chengzhi took it, and saw the three characters "Xuan Sheng Ji" written on the cover, and the four characters "Cheng Ben Zhi Zhu", with a couplet in the upper right corner: "A pair of infatuated people, two brash men." I was puzzled, and asked: "This Mr. Cheng Benzhicheng, who is the leader of the Cheng gang..." Cheng Qingzhu said: "That's the first brother."

Yuan Chengzhi nodded and opened the manuscript, only to see the text read: "Chonghuan ten years of frontier ministers, repeatedly defended in battle, alone mentioned a brigade, to stand out of the strict barrier..." Yuan Chengzhi was stunned and asked: " What does the book say about the father?" Cheng Qingzhu said: "Exactly. Master Governor, I am the person most admired by my elder brother in his life." Yuan Chengzhi now held the manuscript with both hands and read it respectfully: "...So far, the mountains and seas are out, one mile of grass, Chonghuan's hands are built; a fort of a fort, a city of battlements, Chonghuan's hands are built. Since the Liao incident, who is not expected to be against Fleeing for hundreds of miles? Abandoning the city for tens of miles to escape? Dare to draw the enemy's ground and defend, fight against each other, if the enemy flees, and whoever abandons and escapes, who will return to Chonghuan?" Yuan Chengzhi Reading this paragraph, my eyes became wet. I turned a page and read on: "The guest has also heard that the enemy is difficult to come spontaneously, and there are some who can't attack. Will the one who fails to fight? Said: Wei Ye. Ke Yi Knowing that there is Ningyuan and Bingyin's siege, and then knowing why? There is the work of Jinzhou Dingmao,Then, does China know how to fight? Said: Of course! "Yuan Chengzhi read it again and wrote below: "Today's Luanzhifu, Zunzhifu, who will be the soldier?" Liaobing also. Who is it? Liao Ma also. Before Chonghuan came to Liaoning, did Liao also be soldiers and horses? ”

Yuan Chengzhi casually turned another page and read:

"The whole world is a clever person, and Yuan Gong is a big idiot. Only his idiot, so the world's favorite person has money, Yuan Gong does not know love. Only his idiot, so the world's most pitiful person dies, Yuan Gong does not know how to fear. Yuan Gongzhi did not dare to take responsibility for the labor and grievances that the world did not dare to do. Yuan Gongzhi had no choice but to avoid suspicion. Yuan Gongzhi could not avoid it and walked alone; and the world could not bear the hunger and cold, Yuan Gongzhi was the first to be the first soldier. ; And the courtesy that the world is unwilling to break, Yuan Gong force breaks it by pushing his heart with the generals." Yuan Chengzhi could not bear it anymore when he read this, tears ran down, dripping on the paper, his eyes blurred. Among them, I saw the following line of words: "Yu said that he would overthrow the two Zhili provinces and travel through 13 provinces, begging him to bear the burden and fully assume the role of Yuan Gong. I am afraid that he will never get it again. But Gong Yuan is worthy of Cheng Ben's death." Yuan Chengzhi covered the manuscript and said with tears: "Ling brother is really the father's, so praise, I am really grateful."

Cheng Qingzhu sighed: "The first brother and my father never knew each other. He was a commoner. He asked to see him three times, but because he was busy with his father, he never saw him. The old brother never died, so he joined the supervisor and worked hard, finally After receiving the teacher's opinion, he was accepted as a disciple. His brother was wronged and was imprisoned, and he was tortured by Ling Chi. The first brother sent a letter to the court to complain about his wrongdoing, but because his words were straightforward, the monarch was so angry that he also executed the first brother." Yuan Chengzhi said "Ah yo" and said angrily: "This faint lord!"

Cheng Qingzhu said: "The first brother said that he died for Yuan Gong, and his death is not in vain. I only hope that he can be buried next to Yuan Gong’s tomb. I also squinted." Yuan Chengzhi said: "But I don't know if this can be done?" Cheng Qingzhu sighed and said, "My lord has been miserably wronged.The monarch and traitorous officials said that he collaborated with the enemy and colluded with the Qing Dynasty, but the general ignorant people did not distinguish between loyalty and traitor, and believed this. After the grandson was tied to the practice field, the fools rushed forward, bit his body to pieces, and said... He said that he would eat up the flesh and blood of traitors..." Yuan Chengzhi couldn't help crying loudly when he heard this, and asked Sun Zhongshou: "Uncle Sun , This... is this true? Sun Zhongshou wept and nodded, and said, "It's so true." When you were young, we won't tell you, lest you be sad. "Yuan Chengzhi said angrily: "The monarch and the treacherous officials are doing evil, that's all, the people of Beijing are also so abominable!" "Sun Zhongshou said: "The common people don't know the truth, but only the emperor's imperial decree can never be wrong." The Qing soldiers burned, killed and looted outside Beijing, killing thousands of people. Therefore, the people hated the traitors who colluded with the enemy soldiers. "Cheng Qingzhu said: "Ze Xia Fu Yi brother was killed, tried to join the palace, became a guard, wanted to take the opportunity to stab the king, to avenge the brother Xian and Master Yuan. He only hated the inferior martial arts, and the assassination failed. Instead, he was captured by the front guard. Fortunately, someone rescued him and escaped from the palace. Over the years, he has been doing some low-cost trading in the underworld, but he didn't expect to have eyes and no beads, and he actually took a fancy to the son's belongings. "Yuan Chengzhi said: "Everyone has a deep connection, if not, you shouldn't get to know the gang leader." "Qingqing said suddenly: "Huh, where's that little one?" Is she okay? "Cheng Qingzhu said: "Thank you for your care. The kid has gone by himself. "Qingqing said: "I was just trying to talk to her, why did she leave?" "The words can't help but feel confused.

Everyone took a day off. Yuan Chengzhi dispatched capable personnel from the Qingzhu Gang, Shandong Group Pirates and the "Shanzong" subordinates to deliver letters to various places, agreeing to take them on the top of Mount Tai during the Dragon Boat Festival; he also invited Sun Zhongshou, Zhu Anguo and others to lead the surrendered officers and soldiers with Shui Zongbing. , Build a cottage in a remote and steep place.

In this battle, 6,000 officers and men of Ma Shiying's subordinates were wiped out, and more than two million taels of silver did not leave half a star, and the capital of Shandong was shocked. When Ma Shiying mobilized the army to chase after him, the band of thieves had already disappeared, and there was no way to find them. Seeing the durian flowers spit out, the Dragon Boat Festival will be held. Among the temples and Taoist temples in Mount Tai, more than a thousand heroes of various gangs and factions have successively arrived.

Very early in the morning on the fifth day of May,The heroes meet in Ishijing Valley. The valley is wide and flat, with a few acres of stone fields, and it is unusually clean. According to legend, it was the place where the ancient monks gave lectures. The eight-point book Diamond Sutra is engraved on the rock, the characters are as big as a bucket, and the pen is powerful.

In addition to Yuan Chengzhi, Qingqing, Dumb, Hong Shenghai, etc., the old generals of Yuan Bu, Sun Zhongshou, Zhu Anguo, Ni Hao, Luo Daqian and others; Jiangsu Jinlong Gang Jiao Gongli, Jiao Wan'er, Wu Ping, Luo Liru and others; There are Hebei Qingzhu Gang Cheng Qingzhu and others; Shandong group robbers Sha Tianguang, Chu Hongliu, Tan Wenli, etc.; Zhejiang Longyou Gang Rongcai and others; there are Nanyang Qingliang Temple lower abbot Master Shili, overseas 72 The island leader Zheng Qiyun and others; Nie Tianfeng, the master of Feihuyu Village in Huainan, who was rescued from a prison car, Liang Yinlong, the leader of the Poyang Gang in northern Jiangxi, and others; and Shuijian, the general soldier of Ming Dynasty who surrendered. In addition, there are countless heroes and martial arts masters. For a while, a group of heroes gathered on the top of Mount Tai, and the sages and sages arrived.

At this moment, a wisp of white cloud was spit out in the valley, soaring straight up, for a long time, in the darkness to the east, Zhu Xia dazzled, the color changed, white or orange, and the slow blood line reflected in all directions, one spray and one flare, in an instant The sun leaped out like a big red. The clouds below are illuminated by the sun, beautifully changing, and white rainbows meandering. All the crowd applauded. After watching the sun rise, the group sat down. Sha Tianguang, a yin and yang fan, was a local landlord in Shandong. At this time, his injuries had healed, and he stood up and said loudly: "Senior eldest brothers, come to our province, and the hospitality was not good. Please bear with me." Quartet Yi. Qunhao expressed their thanks in unison. Sha Tianguang said again: "Brothers are vulgar, unreasonable, now I ask Senior Cheng Qingzhu to speak." The two people were at odds with each other before. After fighting each other that day, they admired each other's martial arts, but they formed a relationship. Buddy. Cheng Qingzhu stood up and said: "We are on the rivers and lakes. We have met in Mount Tai before, but the number of people has never been so large. Don't be afraid of everyone, what did we do here before? It's just a plot to divide the stolen money." Qunhao laughed. Cheng Qingzhu said: "This time these many heroes and friends are coming here, we can't live for nothing. The world is in chaos, the people can't survive, the ruler is innocent, the government is full of corrupt officials, and the slaves outside the Guan are always offensive and plundered. , Real life is as cheap as an ant, if you can live today, I don’t know if there is tomorrow? Let’s always discuss it carefully,Do some business out. ”

Everyone heard the blood pulse and cheered in unison.

Cheng Qingzhu added, "All those who are present at the meeting today are good friends. Let's take our blood as an alliance, and help each other in adversity in the future, and work together to achieve great things. If you are greedy for wealth, betray your friends, or are greedy for life and fear of death, and are selfish, we all work together. His grandma's." Everyone cheered again. Sha Tianguang said: "The League cannot be without a leader. Let's recommend a heroic brother that everyone admires. From now on, we will all listen to his orders. No matter who is the leader, the brothers will follow to the end. There is no objection." Master Shili Standing up, he said: "A group of dragons without a leader can never make a big thing. The election of the leader, Lao Na is in favor of it. However, the leader must be wise and brave, benevolent and righteous, before he can convince the crowd." Zheng Qiyun said: "Of course it is. That’s right, I see you Master is very good.” Master Shili laughed: “How can you take on the important task when you are in the old age? Don’t make fun of Island Master Zheng.” Everyone whispered and talked about it. They all felt that the leader should be recommended so that the orders are unanimous. , So that heroes and heroes who are scattered around and not under each other can unite together. At that time, although they would not kill and fight each other, even the government did not dare to search and suppress them easily. It's just that the heroes always dominate each side, and no one is willing to obey others. Don't fight to be the leader in order to be the leader. It would be self-defeating.

Cheng Qingzhu waited for everyone to discuss for a while, and said loudly: "If you have no objections, how about you come now?" I saw a burly man with a height of seven feet standing up in the crowd, sounding like Hongzhong, and said loudly: "Gai Meng There is no one who disrespects and accepts Mr. Meng in the martial arts. Although his old man is not here today, he is naturally the leader of the seat, and the brothers think that there is no need to push him." After he finished speaking, there were many people among the heroes. Echoed. Yuan Chengzhi asked Hong Shenghai: "Who is Gai Mengchang?" Hong Shenghai was a little surprised, and asked: "Does the Xianggong know this person?" Yuan Chengzhi said: "My friends in the rivers and lakes know very little." Hong Sheng Haidao: "The old man Meng Bofei Meng is known as Gai Mengchang. He is a good friend and he loves his friends. He is very popular in the martial arts. His original Meng Jiashen fist and Happy Thirty Palms are unpredictable. The number of disciples who worshipped under him Also countless,It can be said that peaches and plums are everywhere. No one does not admire the mention of Gai Mengchang by people studying martial arts in the north. This big man is his big disciple, named Ding Jia Shen Ding You. "Yuan Chengzhi said: "Well, that's the case, then it would be good to push Elder Meng to be the leader." "I thought: "This old man Meng is mostly very popular, but martial arts is not very good, otherwise the master will not stop telling me. The person who is the leader of the martial arts, originally the popularity is much more important than the martial arts. Zheng Qiyun, the leader of the Seventy-two Islands, said: "Old man Meng has a great reputation. Although his brother is desperate overseas, he has been admired for a long time. If he is promoted to be the leader, it is no good to talk about virtue and knowledge. But the brothers have a little concern, I don't know whether to say it. "Ding You said: "Island Lord Zheng said it might be better." "Zheng Qiyun said:" Mr. Meng has been in Baoding Mansion for these years, and his fortune is not trivial. What we all did was to gather in the mountains and forests and kill officials to rebel. If Mr. Meng gave us the lead, something would definitely affect him, and everyone was uneasy. "The group of heroes made sense as soon as they heard this. Everyone was silent for a while. Jinlong Gang leader Jiao Gongli stood up and said: "Brother recommends a hero with martial arts, benevolence and justice." Although this hero is still young and many of his friends in the martial arts are ignorant, the brothers say categorically that as long as this hero is willing to take the lead, he must be fair, and the authority will not underestimate us. "Sha Tianguang said: "Brothers also have a young hero in their hearts, but I'm afraid they may not be worse than the one mentioned by the Jiao gang leader. "His voice was high-pitched, raised his voice, and it was harsher. Jiao Gongli said: "Brothers dare not say how long they are, and they have lived more than fifty years old; if they dare not speak broadly, they will pass countless famous heroes in the world." . But like the hero I mentioned, the one who made my brother admire him was only one person in this world. "Cheng Qingzhu said coldly: "I know the temper of the master of Sha Tianguangsha Village. His yin and yang treasure fan punching acupoints is not unique in today's martial arts, but it is always top-notch. Those who are convinced by his mouth must not be wrong. We Qingzhu gang agree with the Shazhai master's words. Jiao Gongli blushed and said: "How exactly did the leader choose?" Although our Golden Dragon Gang is useless, there are more people than the Green Bamboo Gang. "Seeing that the two are about to quarrel.

Master Shili said: "Don’t worry, Jiao Gangzhu, who is the hero you mentioned, Lao Na can’t be wrong to guess 90% of the time. May I ask Shazhai Master, who is your friend? Both of them say it.Friends present, please judge it impartially. Maybe everyone is not convinced by this hero? ”

Sha Tianguang pointed to Yuan Chengzhi and said, "I'm talking about this Yuan Xianggong. Don't you think he is young, but he is superior in martial arts. I declare first that the brothers and Yuan Xianggong have met recently. They are neither the same door nor old friends. I recommend them purely because they admire the hero." After these words, the group of thieves from all villages in Shandong and the green bamboo gang cheered in unison, and the momentum was extremely strong.

When Yuan Chengzhi heard him talk about himself, he didn't expect it beforehand. He stood up and shook his hands arbitrarily, saying: "No!" Jiao Gongli waited for the voice to be quiet, and laughed to the sky: "Haha, haha!" Sha Tianguang said angrily: "Lead Jiao, I want to ask, why are you laughing at brother?" Cheng Qingzhu also said angrily: "Lead Jiao, I have always admired you as a good man, but you are so rude to Lord Shazhai. , But it’s not easy to see underneath." Jiao Gongli smiled and said, "Brothers dare to laugh? Master Shazhai, Master Cheng, do you know which one the brothers will recommend?" Sha Tianguang said, "Of course I am. I don't know." Jiao Gongli said, "Who else is there besides this Yuan Xianggong?" Cheng Qingzhu and Sha Tianguang turned their anger into joy, and they also laughed. The crowd listened to the three of them arguing for a long time, but they were all the same, and they couldn't help laughing. Yuan Chengzhi was very anxious and said hurriedly: "Brothers are young and knowledgeable. I am honored to be able to participate in the Taishan Conference today. I only hope that after following your predecessors, you can do a little bit of work. How dare you take on the big responsibility? Please choose another talent."

Sun Zhongshou said: "Master Yuan is the only parent of our Master Yuan. Our old friend of the'Shan Zong' can't avoid relatives. I think it is most appropriate to ask him to be the leader." Zheng Qiyun said: "Which Master Yuan is Sun Zhongshou said: "It's Yuan Chonghuan, Governor Yuan, who fought against the Qing soldiers in Liaodong and was innocently killed by the unconscious monarch."

Yuan Chonghuan had made great contributions to the country in resisting the enemy and insults. At that time, only the people in Beijing thought that he was a real collaborator with the enemy. In fact, because of the strong enemy soldiers approaching the city, the emperor and the people were all at a loss, making it unclear. But Yuan Chonghuan was brutally killed,Everywhere I heard about it, but they were extremely indignant. After hearing this, the crowd sighed, and the people who had nothing to do with it all agreed. Yuan Chengzhi tried his best to refuse, but where could he refuse? In addition, the surrendered Shui Bing, Nie Tianfeng, Liang Yinlong and others rescued from the prison by Yuan Chengzhi also tried their best to agree, and the leader's seat was a foregone conclusion.

Rong Cai, the leader of the Longyou gang, had a little holiday with Yuan Chengzhi, but he saw everyone’s expectations, and the little Longyou gang couldn’t stand the crowd, and then thought that he was in the Qujiang River that day. To prevent myself from being embarrassed in the water, it is considered to have received his favor. I wanted to simply icing on the cake. After saying a few good words, he stood up and said: "This Yuan Xianggong is exquisite in martial arts, and many of my friends here know it. My brothers have been planted here. He is in his hands." Everyone was taken aback, and Rong Cai said again: "But he left room for his brother. Although his brother was planted, he was grateful. Now he is chosen as the leader, and the brothers agree." Those who had been hostile to him also said the same, and they all cheered. Only Qingqing cursed in a low voice: "Old slippery!"

Ding Jia, the goddess, walked away from Yuan Chengzhi and looked at him carefully, and saw that he was not tall, dark, not surprising, and young. Why do the heroes support him so much? Thinking of this, his prestige overshadowed his master at once, and he was very unconvinced, and said, "Congratulations, Yuan Xianggong." He reached out and took his hand, looking very affectionate. Yuan Chengzhi said: "Brothers are really hard..." Suddenly he clenched his hands before he finished speaking. It turns out that Ding You used the master art of "The Overlord Carrying the Ding", and he tried to throw Yuan Chengzhi to make this "Leader" make a big ugly in front of everyone. Even though he did so, he would inevitably offend countless people. A heroic man, he might beat everyone up on the spot, but he was a reckless person, and he couldn't take care of so much when he was angry. Yuan Chengzhi remained silent, secretly resorting to the "thousand catties" power. Ding You tugged three times, the muscles on his arms were high, and he did his best, but the other party was like rooting on a rocky mountain. He only heard him continue to say: "...to take the big responsibility. Ding brother ordered the name of Master Shi Meng to be full. The world is more appropriate than brothers.” Ding You pulled hard again, and he almost broke off with a grating on his right arm. He hurriedly let go. Seeing Yuan Chengzhi, he didn’t seem to notice anything. He knew the opponent’s martial arts ratio. I don’t know how much higher it is,If Shicai took advantage of the momentum to fight back, he would have been left in the valley long ago, but he cared about his own face, so that others could not see it, he couldn't help feeling grateful, and said loudly, "Okay, it's good for you to be the leader!" Go down. Yuan Chengzhi hurriedly returned the courtesy, and he also liked how cute this big man was.

Cheng Qingzhu said: "Since we are in an alliance, there must be an alliance rule. Now I ask the leader to announce that everyone will discuss it together."

Yuan Chengzhi is still waiting to resign, and Sun Zhongshou whispered in his ear: "My son, you can't do it with humility. If the leader of the leader falls into the hands of the traitor, the harm will be great. If you can lead the group, the bloody enmity of the supervisor will be enough. It's time to get a report. The supervisor has always done things in his life without giving up and avoiding difficulties." Yuan Chengzhi listened to him for justice, and even mentioned the "good" of his father. He was shocked and stood up and said: "Since you are good, it is better to respect your brothers. It's just that the brothers have a shallow understanding, and I hope that the seniors will give priority to major issues and advise them at any time. Brothers will definitely obey and dare not be arrogant." The group of heroes listened to him as the leader and cheered on the top of Mount Tai There was thunder, the valley rang, and there were echoes of applause and cheers everywhere, and it seemed that the thousands of peaks and valleys on the soles of the feet were also applauding. The group of heroes lit incense candles and prayed together.

Yuan Chengzhi said to Sun Zhongshou: "Uncle Sun was invited to draft the covenant." Sun Zhongshou did not decline, and went back to the temple to draft it. He knew that the heroes put faith first, did not emphasize literary talent, and wrote more than a hundred words concisely and profoundly at the moment. Yuan Chengzhi read it out in public. The heroes swear an oath of blood and never betray their alliance. A sensation in the martial arts of the coastal provinces of the Taishan Conference, thus ended. Less than half a year after his debut, Yuan Chengzhi relied on his martial arts skills and treated people with sincerity, coupled with chance and coincidence, and his father's prestige, to become the leader of the grass-roots in the seven provinces of Zhili, Shandong, Henan, Zhejiang, Fujian, and Jiangxi.

That night, the crowds feasted on the ground, fighting wine and drinking, and the noise of laughter was full of peaks and valleys.

Amidst the hustle and bustle,Suddenly, a meteor rushes to the sky. This is a warning signal at the bottom of the mountain, and the heroes stopped drinking immediately. Yuan Chengzhi, Sun Zhongshou and others immediately remembered the scene when the officers and soldiers attacked the Holy Zhang Peak. Did the government know that Caoyin had been robbed and sent troops to attack? After a short while, two men guarding on the hillside rushed up the mountain and reported to Yuan Chengzhi: "Tell the leader, the outpost under the mountain urgently reports that the Qing army has captured Qingzhou and is marching towards Tai'an. It is already gone. But for more than two hundred miles, please let the leader decide." Yuan Chengzhi was shocked: "The Qing soldiers came so fast!" Although he had heard that the Qing soldiers entered the Pass last year and attacked Shandong, they have only been harassing in the areas of Dengzhou and Laizhou. , Robbery, burned and killed, unexpectedly would break Qingzhou in one fell swoop.

Sun Zhongshou said: "The Qing soldiers overcame Qiangziling in October last year, hit Yanzhou, burned, killed and plundered all over Shandong. I heard that the leader of the army was the commander General Abate. This man is Nurhachi's seventh son. He was also the elder brother of Emperor Tartar. He was good at using soldiers. He had fought in Shandong with Prince Man Qingrui, Dorgon, and was very familiar with the situation in Shandong." Yuan Chengzhi asked: "Dorgon had been to Shandong. "He devoted himself to martial arts and knew very little about the world. Sun Zhongshou sighed: "That was four years ago. At that time, the leader was studying martial arts in Mount Hua, so I didn't know." Seeing that the heroes were asking each other, their hearts were floating, they stood up, climbed up to a large rock and said loudly. "Brother Yamashita reports urgently. Qing soldiers have broken through Qingzhou and are coming towards Tai'an. Please continue to drink, the leader has his own opinion." Someone among the heroes shouted: "Everyone rushed down the mountain and killed the fucking soldiers. "Someone yelled: "The Tartarus can bully us so badly. This time I have to fight him to death and death." The whole mountain screamed, and the crowd was angry.

Sun Zhongshou returned to Yuan Chengzhi and said, "Leader, all the brothers are going to fight the Tartar soldiers. What do you think?" Yuan Chengzhi said: "My father has been loyal to serve the country all his life, in order to kill Tartar. Right now Tartar is deceiving the door. Come, just when the brothers are gathering here, let’s go down the mountain to fight. It’s just that I was fighting with the marching army, and I don’t understand at all, so I should ask Uncle Sun to give the order.” Sun Zhongshou pondered for a moment, and sent a dozen people out to find out the truth in the soldiers, and then Said: "Since Governor Yuan Gong was murdered, there was no one in the court, and he was no longer able to resist the Qing soldiers. In June of the ninth year of Chongzhen, the Manchu Qing leader Huang Taiji sent Azige, Abate and other generals to attack the Great Wall.Hit straight to the hinterland of Beizhili. In eleven years, the Nine Kings Duoergun led Abatai and others to Beizhili again, and the loyal minister Lu Xiang* and Sun Chengzong were martyred successively. Dorgon also breached Jinan that year and captured more than 400,000 people of mine. This time it was General Abatai, the Tartarian, who came again. Yuan Chengzhi said: "Why didn't the Qing soldiers attack Beijing, they just attacked Hebei and Shandong? "Sun Zhongshou said: "Huang Taiji is very good at using soldiers." He sent troops to Hebei and Shandong. His ambition was not to occupy land, but to snatch property, murder and set fire to destroy the essence of my China. He wanted to exhaust Da Ming and then attack Beijing in one fell swoop. When he attacked Beijing, he suffered a defeat under Yuan Governor, and since then he dared not attack the capital again. ”

Yuan Chengzhi suddenly thought: "The King of Chuang and the rebels were running around, didn't they help the soldiers of Tartar?" This sentence was inconvenient to say, and he only felt uneasy in his heart. Sun Zhongshou said: "In the past few years, the soldiers of the Tarts have come to Hebei and Shandong several times, and the momentum has been broken along the way. The soldiers of the Ming have never won a battle. The soldiers of the Tarsus will definitely not put the Ming soldiers in their eyes. As the saying goes, arrogant soldiers. They must be defeated. We are just taking the opportunity to kill them. From Qingzhou to Tai'an, Jinyang Pass is a must pass. The terrain is dangerous, we can set up an ambush at Jinyang Pass and fight fiercely." Yuan Chengzhi was overjoyed. Stand up and say: "Brothers, let's kill the Tartar soldiers, sleep well tonight, and go down the mountain tomorrow morning." The heroes shouted loudly: "Kill Tartar soldiers, kill Tartar soldiers!"

In the early morning of the next day, Yuan Chengzhi and Sun Zhongshou negotiated and dispatched the heroes to set off. Arranged to lie in ambush in all directions, and see the yellow flag of the leader of the Chinese army erected high, they all rushed to the Qing soldiers. Commander Mingshui led two thousand soldiers and horses of his division to meet the enemy at the head. For fear that Commander Shui would change his mind after going down the mountain, he sent Jiao Gongli to monitor with the Jinlong Gang's men. Shui Zongbing is only allowed to lose, not to win, to lure the Qing soldiers to come. The Shui General Army’s armour and weapons are all available, all in the colors of Ming military uniforms, and there are no flaws in it. As for defeating battles, it is commonplace for Ming soldiers to do their best.

There is only a path between the two peaks on both sides of Jinyang Pass. By the evening of the fourth day, the ears heard loud shouts, and the soldiers hurled their armour and shuffled their troops and ran from the path.Chief Shui stepped off his horse, holding a broadsword in his hand, and personally broke the queen. After a while, a group of braided soldiers swarmed in. Yuan Chengzhi leaned on the rock of Zuofeng and saw the Qing soldiers for the first time. He remembered his father's bloody battles with the Danzi soldiers for years. He couldn't help but boil with blood all over his body. He held up the Golden Snake Sword and said, "Uncle Sun, let's rush down!" Sun Zhongshou said: " Wait for a while, wait for the Tartar Brigade to come over. At that time we raised the yellow flag again and ambushed all around, and the Qing troops could not get off." Only the horns sounded, and the Qing cavalry rushed to the brigade. The lagging Mingbing was immediately stabbed by a knife and a spear, leaving his body on the spot. Yuan Chengzhi couldn't bear it, and said: "Hurry up and take it!" Sun Zhongshou said: "We have to wait a while." Qing Qing said anxiously: "If we don't go any further, our people will kill them all." Sun Zhongshou said: "More Wait a while!" Qingqing was so anxious that she just stopped. Suddenly, there were loud shouts from the right peak, and Sha Tianguang led a group of thieves from various villages in Shandong to kill the generals from the hillside. Sun Zhongshou exclaimed, "Ah, no!" Yuan Chengzhi said, "What?" Sun Zhongshou said, "The Qing soldiers are only pioneers, and then they won't be able to catch their marshals. Why don't you see the banner and act yourself Is it?" I saw the Shandong group of thieves rushing into the Qing army in a hurry, followed by the Qingzhu Gang, the Golden Dragon Gang, and the ambushing group of tyrants all at once, and the Shui Zongbing also brought the Tong Ming soldiers back to intercept and kill. Sun Zhongshou sighed again and again, and said: "Back then, if Yuan Gong led the troops, if his subordinates did not listen to the orders and kill the enemy by themselves, all the generals would have to ask Yuan Gong to send the Shangfang sword to be cut." Yuan Chengzhi apologized. Said: "It's not because I didn't make a strict order in advance." Sun Zhongshou comforted him: "We heroes, everyone is strong in martial arts, but we are a group of mobs, how can we compare to the elite soldiers that Yuan Gong trained in Ningyuan back then. You can't do anything, the lord. Well, before the yellow flag was erected, everyone rushed out in a mess. Where is the war? It's just nonsense!" I can't help but sigh, remembering when Yuan Chonghuan was leading soldiers in Ningjin. The command was severe, and more than a hundred thousand soldiers were all commanded solemnly, feeling sad and annoyed. Qingqing said, "This is the case, and it's useless to sigh. Brother Chengzhi, let's do it!" Yuan Chengzhi was already irritated, and shouted, "Okay, everyone kills!" Holding the golden snake sword in his hand, he rushed down the peak. . Sun Zhongshou exclaimed: "Leader, leader! You are the coach, you must be in the middle of the army, and you can't come to the front enemy..." Before the call was over, Yuan Chengzhi started lightly and went far away early, but saw him rushing into the battle, Golden Snake The sword waved, cutting off the heads of the two Qing soldiers. More than a thousand Qing soldiers crowded in the mountain road,It is difficult to fight. The enemy rushed in front of him, his bows and arrows were no longer available, and he was besieged from all sides by a group of heroes. In less than an hour, he was wiped out. The commander of the Qing army, Abate, had to report that the forward was annihilated in Jinyang Pass and immediately led his troops back to Qingzhou.

Although Abate was not killed in this battle, more than 1,000 people from the Qing army were annihilated. This is a great victory that has never been seen in more than a decade. The group of heroes shouted and jumped in front of Jinyang Pass, cheering wildly. Yuan Chengzhi looked at the blood stains on the golden snake sword and thought: "This sword has killed a lot of soldiers today, so that the hidden blue blood on this sword is not in vain!"

That night Yuan Chengzhi, Sun Zhongshou, Zhu Anguo, Ni Hao, Luo Daqian, etc. talked about today’s great victory, which really comforted Master Yuan’s spirit in the sky, and tears could not help but burst into tears. Sun Zhongshou hated himself because he couldn't kill Abatai, the marshal of the Qing army. Yuan Chengzhi said: "Uncle Sun, it is impossible for our group of people to really fight a big battle. Tomorrow I will go north, these Ming army officers and soldiers and other brothers, please practice with Uncle Zhu, Uncle Ni, and Uncle Luo. In the future, if you encounter the Tarzan soldiers, you won't be able to kill them for a while as they do today." Sun Zhongshou and others were all ordered.

Yuan Chengzhi and Qingqing strolled side by side. Seeing the crowds talking in the east and west, everyone was excited, and they were talking about a big victory during the day. Yuan Chengzhi said: "We have only one battle today. To destroy the Manchu Tartar, we still have to fight a hundred bloody battles. It really is:'The day of generosity and enmity, and the time is between hundreds of wars.'" Qingqing said: "You two The line of poems is really well done." Yuan Chengzhi smiled and said, "How can I make poems? This is my father's posthumous work." Qing Qing said. Yuan Chengzhi sighed: "I can't beat my father in anything. He can write poems and use soldiers to fight battles, but I can't at all." Qingqing said: "Your martial arts must be better than your father." Yuan Chengzhi said: " My dad was born in Jinshi and never practiced martial arts. But Wugongqiang can only do small things, but can't do big things." Qingqing said: "It's not necessarily that Wugong is strong, of course it is useful." Yuan Chengzhi suddenly drew out the golden snake sword. With two virtual hacks, the tiger was born with the wind, and said: "Yes, young man, I will assassinate the Emperor Tarzi, and then I will assassinate the Emperor Chongzhen, and avenge my father."
