Chapter two hundred and eighty sixth recruit surrender
The most evil people in their lives were those from the government. Li Yan actually brought a few court hawks up the mountain, and the people on Jigong Mountain changed their faces.
Even including Hong Niangzi, her face darkened: "Bring me up!"
When Li Yan came up, he was surrounded by Li Hao and several Jinyiwei. Li Hao and the others did not hide it, but directly wore Jinyiwei's official uniforms and followed them up the mountain together.
In Jigong Mountain Village, a handsome and beautiful woman in red dress sat upright in the middle. It is hard to imagine that there would be such a beautiful woman among the bandits, and this bandit has a few heroic spirit in her beauty. Among the bandits, she looks outstanding.
The fool could see that when he saw Li Yan, it was obvious that the moment he saw Madam Hong was very concerned. She took a step forward, then stopped, bit her lip and said coldly: "I didn't expect when the famous Mr. Li became a court hawk."
Li Yan was a little embarrassed and bowed to her: "Madam Hong, I..."
The Hongmao sneered: "What, I'm wrong? Mr. Li, a noble young man, was willing to be a lackey in the court in order to survive. I, Hongmao, have seen the wrong person, Li Yan, you go up the mountain and want to persuade me to be that lackey in the court."
This is embarrassing. Li Yan, like them, hated this dynasty very much. But now, he has really surrendered to the court, but what is so bad is that he really came to persuade Hong Niangzi to surrender.
The Hong Madam blocked her words in advance. Li Yan, who has always been eloquent, became speechless at this moment.
Li Hao and several Jinyiwei who came with him could no longer bear it. Jinyiwei Lishi Fangtan shouted angrily: "What are you talking about!"
Originally, these bandits were very annoyed when they saw the Jinyiwei. When they heard Fang Tan's wail, they could still bear it. The men of Hong Niangzi held weapons and surrounded Li Yan and others.
The other party was full of hostility as soon as they came up, which made Li Hao and others feel embarrassed. For a moment, they couldn't find a suitable excuse to explain their purpose to them. After all, the Hongniang had just blocked the words. If you come to surrender, don't blame me for being rude.
Li Yan pondered for a moment, then said seriously: "Madam Hong, do you believe me?"
The Hongniang was stunned at first: "What, what?"
"What kind of person is Li Yan, the Hongmao, you should know that I am the kind of person who is treacherous and willing to be a lackey in the court?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the bandits on the Jigong Mountain Village immediately calmed down. Yes, how could Mr. Li be willing to be a lackey in the court?
The Hongniang also had a happy look on her face: "I, I knew Mr. Li must have had another secret. So, you have surrendered to them. It's easy to say that I will kill a few of them now. Come and drag these hawks out for me and kill them!"
If something is not good, Li Yan won’t really want to turn against the situation. And they followed up the mountain this time, which is equivalent to falling into the trap.
The subordinates around Li Hao pulled out the embroidered spring swords, but what's the use? The mountains and fields were full of bandits, and each person drowned them with spit.
Only Li Hao stood there motionless. He believed in Li Yan's character. Sure enough, Li Yan waved his hand and stopped everyone: "Let's wait."
The people who were originally tense stopped immediately, and everyone was waiting to see what Li Yan had to say. Li Yan pondered for a while, and then said, "I, Li Yan, did join the court, but I did not become their hawk."
Everyone looked at each other, what was this? What did it mean to defect to the court and not their hawks? Isn’t this inconsistency?
Just as everyone was stunned, Li Yan continued: "Madam Hong, it is true that the court is injustice, and it is true that corrupt officials are rampant. However, there are still good people in this court."
Hong Niangzi's face became gloomy: "Li Yan, what do you mean? You won't surrender to the court. Have some high-sounding reasons. Let me tell you that even if I, Hong Niangzi, will never surrender to the court."
"I will never surrender the hawks and dogs!" Someone immediately incited them.
These bandits were forced to rebel by the government and had no favoritism for the court. Someone shouted, and everyone shouted: "I will never surrender to the court's hawks and dogs when I die, and I will never surrender to the court's hawks and dogs when I die!"
After everyone was extinguished, Li Yan stared at Hong Niangzi in a daze: "Hong Niangzi, the officials in this world are not what you and I think. If there is a good official who is willing to serve the people and benefit the people, I, Li Yan, will be willing to surrender to the court. What I want in my heart is righteousness, not to be someone's lackey."
This statement sounded so magnificent to the bandits, and someone immediately refuted: "Young Master Li, what you said is light. In today's troubled times, how can you have such an official?"
"That's right, even if there are such good officials, they will be squeezed away by those corrupt officials."
"Yes, when the eunuch party was rampant, many honest officials were persecuted. Isn't this enough? Mr. Li, where is the honest official you are talking about?"
Thanks to Li Yiwen, who used his life to interpret what it means to serve the country and the people. There were no honest officials in the late Ming Dynasty, except for Li Yiwen. No matter what, Li Yiwen, who practiced himself, had a reputation among the people.
Li Yan looked around and said lightly: "Who said there is no good official? Li Wei, the governor of the two provinces, asked Lord Li, please tell me if he is a good official."
It became quiet, and the surroundings immediately became quiet. The people knew about the disaster relief work in Henan. Without him, Henan would be a hell at this time. Li Weiwen dragged his sick body and went deep into the people to understand the people's conditions. While distributing money and food to the victims, he organized them to save themselves.
The victims built canals and dug deep water wells. Not to mention anything else, unlike the past governments who had enough money to fill their pockets, at least the disaster relief money and food were distributed to the people.
Therefore, when Li Huiwen's Daming was mentioned, the bandits on Jigong Mountain immediately became quiet, but someone soon sighed: "Mr. Li is dead, what's the use of saying these?"
It's time to perform real skills. At the critical moment, Li Hao appeared. He was waiting for this sentence. Li Hao bowed to everyone and bowed to everyone: "Lord Li is respected by the country and the people. But you may not know that Li Dao asked if Lord Li can come to Henan to provide disaster relief. It was recommended by His Highness the current crown prince. His Highness the crown prince took out the money for the rectification of the army and helped the disaster victims."
The bandits immediately buzzed loudly, and they were all star-stirring and unknown what happened in the capital. Next, Li Hao and others, with all their passions, added fuel to the fire. Several Jinyiwei's spits were flying everywhere. When they said that they were resisting Jiannu in Liaodong, Huangtai was extremely dizzy and everyone immediately cheered like thunder.
