    "Wait a minute!" Hong Yun'er reined in the horse, took a few steps forward, and said slowly: "Since ancient times, it has been ominous to kill and surrender. Besides, those who surrender should be those who are timid villagers. Killing them is useless. Changsha Zuojin Township County  The grain is already ripe, but most of the people have fled, and some towns and counties like Liuyang that were massacred by the Qing army need a lot of people to help harvest grain. It is better to let these people go to Changsha to help harvest grain."

    Xiao Yungui thought for a while, nodded and said: "That's right, our troops still have to build a fortress in a dangerous area outside the city, and we also need to build a pontoon bridge on the Xiangjiang River. We don't have enough manpower, so let's let the Qingyao prisoners help us collect food.  !¡±

    At that moment, Xiao Yungui ordered someone to convey the order to escort the captives of the Qing army back to the tea pavilion to wait for their orders. He and Hong Yun'er went back to the tea pavilion to wait for the news.

    After returning to the tea pavilion, Xiao Yungui stayed alone in the tent. Hong Yun'er didn't say a word to him all the way, which made him feel extremely depressed.  When other people save a beautiful girl, the worst they can do is get a thank you from the girl, but when he comes to him, the girl stops talking to him. Could it be that his way of saving people is wrong?  Originally, he thought that he would take advantage of this opportunity to capture this four-eyed girl, but he never expected that it would turn out like this.

    While he was thinking wildly, Tang Erniu from outside the tent came to report that the prisoners of the Qing army captured in the ruined temple in Tianjing Village were taken to the camp.  Xiao Yungui was so angry that he had nowhere to vent his anger, so he immediately ordered Tang Erniu to bring the leader of the captives in for interrogation.

    After a while, Tang Erniu escorted Wang Linyu and several group training leaders to the tent. Xiao Yungui specially ordered Tang Erniu to prepare thirty card swordsmen in the tent. When Wang Linyu and several leaders entered the tent,  All the swordsmen raised their swords high in the air and shouted threats. The leaders were so frightened that their legs weakened and they fell to their knees together.

    Seeing that Wang Linyu was the only one standing alone, although his face was a little pale, he still stood upright. Xiao Yungui touched his chin and asked with a sigh: "What is your name? You are still a little brave?"

    Wang Linyu secretly gritted his teeth and said: "I am from Green Camp, how can I be afraid of thieves like you? If you want to kill or cut them up, you can do whatever you want. Just kill me. Please let the others go."

    Xiao Yungui snorted and said: "I didn't expect that there are people like you among the Green Camp soldiers. Where did you serve as a soldier in the past?"

    Wang Linyu couldn't guess what Xiao Yungui had in mind, but when someone asked about his past, Wang Linyu spoke frankly.

    After listening, Xiao Yungui said with an ooh, "Have you ever fought with the British in Zhejiang?"

    Wang Linyu's face turned red and he said: "Yes, it's a pity that the Green Camp soldiers had too many disadvantages. They lost miserably in that battle. I, I saw that the officials fled, and many of my colleagues also fled, so I became a deserter."

    Xiao Yungui smiled and said: "It's rare for you to be so honest and loyal to your subordinates, so I will let you go. You can help me bring a letter to Zhang Liangji, the governor of Qingyao in Xiangyin, and a verbal message to Zhang Liangji."  Liping Magistrate Hu Linyi, they dare to bully my wife, Xiao Chaogui, the Western King of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and asked them to wash their necks and wait, I will immediately send troops to take their dog heads!"

    Wang Linyu was startled and said: "You, are you the Changmao Xiwang who took Changsha with a light army?"

    Xiao Yungui chuckled and said, "If it's true, go ahead. Tang Erniu will take him down to have something to eat. He'll come over later to get the letter and send him away."

    Wang Linyu looked hesitantly at his subordinates on the ground, all of them looking at him eagerly, hoping that Wang Linyu could intercede on their behalf and let them go.  Wang Linyu didn't know why Xiao Yungui let him go. Maybe he really needed someone to deliver a message to the army. If he asked for help again, wouldn't he suffer a big loss if he offended Xiao Yungui and replaced him with someone else?  Wang Linyu hesitated again and again, then gritted his teeth and said: "King Xi, my subordinates are all peasants from ordinary villages. They gathered in the self-protection village because they were hired by big tenant farmers and were afraid that big farmers would increase the rent if they were not hired.  It¡¯s not that I have any ill intentions towards your army, and I asked the King of the West to let them go.¡±

    Xiao Yungui snorted and said: "Ordinary peasants? You followed Qing Yao to hunt down our holy soldiers. Why didn't you say that you were ordinary peasants at that time? Stop talking and hurry up!" After finishing speaking, Tang Erniu  They came up and took Wang Linyu down. When Wang Linyu came to the tent door, he shouted calmly: "King Xi, please have mercy."

    After Wang Linyu was taken down, Xiao Yungui looked coldly at the kneeling bosses below and shouted: "Are you going to die or live?!"

    Several people are all speculative, and they have already scared their courage.

    Xiao Yungui said calmly: "It's easy to survive. How many regiments like you are there in the nearby villages and counties? Tell me the truth one by one. I will let whoever tells the truth."

    This time, a few courageous bandits were like bamboo tubes turned upside down, everything inside was discarded.  In the villages in the south of Xiangyin and north of Changsha, people like Huang Mian organized their own group training.There are more than a dozen households, the largest one is the group training run by Huang Mian, with a total of five or six hundred people, and the smallest one has one or two hundred people, and more than a dozen large households have signed the alliance.  They agreed to support each other in case of trouble.  But today there was a military attack in Tianjing Village, and they also sent people to deliver messages, but no big family sent people to rescue them, for fear of setting themselves on fire.

    Several leaders viciously cursed those big families for not saving their lives. Xiao Yungui sneered as he listened. At this time, the regiment training organized by these wealthy households in Hunan was not as good as the Hunan Army later organized by Zeng Guofan and Luo Zenan, but it seemed that it was not as good as the Hunan Army.  We cannot sit idly by.

    After pondering for a moment, Xiao Yungui asked again: "How much food and salary does Mr. Huang give you for organizing group training?"

    A leader rushed to say: "They are all rural tenant farmers in the countryside. Each person can be paid three bushels of coarse grains a month. Our boss is rich, so we can afford this price. Others are around one bushel."

    Three buckets of rice grain can be considered as enough food for two people for one month. Xiao Yungui said with a sneer: "Well, I will let my army take you to eat from the big households, seize all their money and grain, and divide the money and grain into 30%  Come on, how about we share it equally between you and your men?¡±

    Several leaders were overjoyed and clamored to go out immediately to recruit men. These long-haired men were all ruthless characters who killed officials and rebelled. It was no problem to kill some big households. Those big households were all so fat that they could divide what they grabbed.  When it reaches 30%, that¡¯s huge, and everyone can get a lot of it.  Besides, having them fight for those three buckets of rice and the ferocious Changmao was not as cost-effective as turning their guns against their old boss, so the leaders agreed without even thinking.

    Xiao Yungui touched his nose and smiled and said: "Well, you go down and have a good meal first, and have a rest tonight. Tomorrow I will ask my subordinate General Li to take you with him. You also know the regiment training from the nearby village. You can join us."  In the greeting, the more people you have, the more you can grab. Tell them that they will share 30% of what they grab. After you share it, you can keep it for yourself. I will definitely not grab you and recruit you to join the gang."

    The leaders were very happy and hurriedly agreed. Xiao Yungui added: "But, I want you to fight under the banner of group training. You are in front, and we, the Taiping Saint Soldiers, are behind."

    The leaders were a little embarrassed. It was still a bit dangerous to lead the battle. Xiao Yungui saw that the others were in trouble and said with a smile: "It's okay. My Taiping Saint Soldiers are behind you to hold down the battle. You just go up. We have muskets and cannons. Who dares?"  Those who resist our holy soldiers will use cannons to greet them, so don't worry."

    The leaders happily agreed. Xiao Yungui then explained some details, instructing them to only steal money and food, not to kill innocent people indiscriminately, and not to molest women and children. After the instructions were given, the leaders were led down by their own guards.

    These people don't know Xiao Yungui's sinister intentions. He bribes local team training, threatens and induces them to rob his own club, so that those big players will have lingering fears if they run team training in the future, and they will be robbed by his own team training.  I don¡¯t know whether I should believe these mud-legged people. This is called giving back to the other person in the same way!

    After a few people left, Xiao Yungui hummed a tune triumphantly, spread out his rice paper and picked up a pen to write a letter to Zhang Liangji, but after writing a few words, they all looked extremely ugly. For fear of being underestimated by Zhang Liangji, he had to think of asking Hong Yun for help.  Son.

    I was planning to invite Hong Yun'er, and Xiao Yungui was a little bit angry at her mouth. In this way, I would like to invite that four -eyed girl to come. Do you want to ask her for himself?  He is a manly man. He was already embarrassed by being slapped by her during the day. Now he wants to beg her?  Absolutely not!  After thinking about it, Xiao Yungui had another bad idea. He coughed lightly and ordered the bodyguard: "Well, go to the women's camp and ask Miss Li Xuanji to come over. Tell her that I want her to ghostwrite a letter. It's a very important matter, so let her  Come quickly."

    After the guards left, Xiao Yungui ordered his left and right knife men to go down. He leaned his feet on the table and thought triumphantly, sister with four eyes, my brother can still have a good time without you!  While I was feeling proud, I suddenly thought of the expressions of the leaders just now, and I felt a little discouraged. For the sake of small profits, these leaders were persuaded by others to turn their guns and rob their former employers without any nostalgia for their old feelings.  As the four-eyed girl said, she only wants to use benefits to tie them up, and in the end she will be betrayed by the benefits.  I recall that in history, Zeng Guofan used his own relatives and friends to run the Hunan Army. Most of the soldiers in each battalion were relatives from the countryside. He would not hesitate to rescue each other in a war, and it was not just profit that drove people to sacrifice their lives.  , it seems that what the four-eyed girl said is somewhat reasonable. In addition to interests, it is best to be bound by human ties.

    Just as he was thinking about it, Li Xuanji followed the guards to the tent. When he saw the beautiful woman entering the account, Xiao Yungui stood up with saliva on his face. He walked forward enthusiastically and took her hand and said: "Girl of the Li family, I'm so sorry.  It's late and I'm disturbing your rest. I really don't have much ink in my stomach. I heard that the girl from the Li family comes from a scholarly family and is very knowledgeable, so IIt helps you.  "

    Li Xuanji's face turned red, she flinched slightly and pulled her hand back, took a step back, lowered her hands, and whispered: "The King of the West is too polite, Xuanji dare not disobey her if she is given the chance."

    Xiao Yungui felt great joy in his heart, looking at Li Xuanji's little daughter's shy demeanor and gentle answers. This is the attitude a good woman should have in this era. The fierce four-eyed girl should go away.  Don't you dare to disobey your destiny?  What if I asked you to stay with me for one night?

    While Xiao Yungui was looking at Li Xuanji, thinking of despicable and dirty ideas, Li Xuanji seemed to feel something was wrong and said hurriedly: "Does the King of the West want Xuanji to write something on his behalf?"

    Xiao Yungui came back to his senses, coughed slightly and said, "Sit down and write down what I say. I want to write a letter of war to Qingyao Governor Zhang Liangji, and you can ghostwrite it for me."

    Li Xuanji sat down, studied ink and laid paper. Her fingers were as graceful as orchids and she lifted the pen. She looked at Xiao Yungui with a pair of beautiful eyes, just waiting for him to speak.

    Xiao Yungui coughed, cleared his throat, and said, "Zhang Liangji, you bastard! How dare you bully this king's woman?! Do you want your life?!"

    Li Xuanji opened her mouth wide and looked at Xiao Yungui blankly. She forgot to write for a while. Is there anyone who writes letters like this?  This King of the West is really different.
