Chapter 128: The Sad Scholars

Looking at the embarrassing messenger in front of him, Lu Xiangsheng glared at Li Tengjiao fiercely and sighed: "These young people are really energetic."

However, for young people, being young and energetic and jealous of evil is their advantage, but Lu Xiangsheng doesn't want to be abusive of their problems.

"After going back, I will be detained for three days."

When Li Tengjiao heard this, he stuck out his tongue and hurriedly clasped his fists to respond.

But the scholar-entourage standing in the tent did not have the joy of revenge at all. The Ming army was very strict in governing the army, which was not a good thing for him.

Before Lu Xiangsheng could ask, the scholar quickly stepped forward and bowed, and then said.

"I am going back to the post, and my family's Xuanwei envoy is willing to surrender to the commander. This is a submission form. I also ask the post to withdraw troops as soon as possible."

Lu Xiangsheng took the surrender table, glanced at it quickly, put it aside, and then asked.

"Would the Lord Xuanwei and She Shuai be willing to go to Beijing with us to apologize to the emperor?"

As soon as Lu Xiangsheng finished speaking, the scholar looked embarrassed.

"The road is long and difficult. My family's envoy is young and may not be able to withstand the fatigue of boats and vehicles. He has asked the envoy to do it for him."

When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he was not angry and said intimately that it was really hard for An Fang and her son and She Chongming to come up with such a reason after thinking about it all night.

"What about Shesu?"

"I'm not hiding the situation, She Shuai was injured by an arrow. Since Yongping came back, he has been bedridden and may not be able to make a move."

Lu Xiangsheng wanted to laugh after hearing this. Since he learned from the prisoner that She Chongming had rushed back to Shuixi, Lu Xiangsheng had given up on the possibility of Shuixi's initiative to open the gate of the village to surrender.

Ruoshuixi was only in charge of the mother and son, and there was also the possibility of agreeing to her own conditions. She was young and her mother was a woman, so she could completely blame the rebellion on An Bangyan and She Chongming.

And it is true that the mother and son in Shuixi have little say. Moreover, in order to obtain the forgiveness of the court, the elder tribes in Shuixi do not mind turning against each other at the time and take the initiative to present the mother and son in Shuixi to the court.

However, when She Chongming returned to Shuixi, the power of the mother and son in Ai's position increased greatly. According to the prisoners' accounts, when She Chongming came back, she brought more than a thousand elite soldiers. The name of Ai's position was not difficult for She Chongming to take the opportunity to control Shuixi.

Therefore, Lu Xiangsheng had already calculated the excuses brought by the messenger when the rebels raised the white flag.

Lu Xiangsheng cleared his throat, and the messenger was so scared that he shivered.

"Since you have already surrendered, please open the gate of the village so that the official army can enter the village to accept your surrender gift."

Although the authenticity of She Chongming's request for surrender is really up to date, Lu Xiangsheng still wants to work hard.

The messenger looked constipated, and faced Lu Xiangsheng's pressing step by step, he was dumbfounded and wondered what reason to use to evade the commander of the Ming army.

This envoy was originally a scholar in Bijie, but his literary style was not obvious in Guizhou. After many years of taking the exam, he did not get a Juren. He was burdened by him. The originally prosperous family gradually failed after he took the exam.

Later, there was no choice. I heard that the chieftain recruited people who could write and calculate, and had a lot of money per month, so the scholar ran to the chieftain on the mountain to serve as an accountant for them.

Unexpectedly, after just a few months of work, An Bangyan killed the army and rebelled against the Ming court.

This scholar failed the exam many times. Although he was a little dissatisfied with the court, he would not dare to rebel if he was asked to rebel. He wanted to escape many times. However, since the Shuixi'an family's uprising, the guards have become more stringent.

This scholar wanted to escape, but he was even more afraid that he would be caught and made into dry bacon. This scholar had really seen how the toast barbarians treated disobedient slaves.

Tie the person to the pillar, and then peel off the skin below the neck, just like making a dough chicken and a dough, and dry it under the sun.

Whenever I think of this scene, the scholar's body is full of goose bumps.

So the scholar could only spend one day in the village, and missed his wife and children even more in Bijie.

Although the scholar asked a leader of the fan group who was pretty good to him to help take care of his wife and children after conquering Bijie, he was not sure whether he cared about it or not.

In a mess, he didn't know whether his wife and children could be safe.

Since the Shuixi Initiative, the scholar has been in panic every day until he was called to Chengtian Palace yesterday.

Chengtian Hall is the main hall of Shuixi'an clan, built in imitation of Bijie's temple main hall, but it is much larger than Bijie's temple main hall and is a place where the Shuixi tribes jointly discuss matters.

Moreover, Chengtian Palace was not originally called this name, but it turned out to be Tianyou Hall. After the An family started, a name was changed by a scholar who was quite popular in Anbangyan's letter.

Moreover, after the uprising, under the flattery of a scholar, not only Tianyou Hall was changed to Chengtian Hall, but the original Xuanwei Envoy An was also worshipped as Emperor Huai of Chu, while An Bangyan was proclaimed himself King Liang.

Although this scholar did not pass the imperial examination, he was still familiar with the history at the end of Qin. In the chaotic times of the late Qin Dynasty, King Huai of Chu and Xiang Liang gathered together with the big banner of Yi and finally overthrew the Qin Dynasty. This is a story about storytellers on the streets of Bijie.

The meaning is very good, but Xiucai Gong was not optimistic about them. When he was young, he went to the south of the Yangtze River and went to Huguang and Jiangnan. The wealth of Jiangnan was not comparable to that of remote areas like Guizhou.

Moreover, the people in Jiangnan did not have the hardships of Guizhou. The land was fertile and the fish were profitable. Looking at Huguang and Jiangnan alone, the Ming Dynasty was not exhausted.

However, these words could only be rotten in his stomach and he would never dare to say them to others, so as not to be used to sacrifice flags.

After being taken to Chengtian Palace, the atmosphere in the hall was different from the previous few days. There was still a hint of panic in the tension, but the scholar did not dare to say more and see more, so as not to anger anyone.

These chieftains and barbarians are more convenient to kill people than to kill chickens.

Not long after, the scholar was assigned to the mission to serve as a large tent of the Ming army, which scared him to death.

Although the two countries did not kill the envoys when they were at war, the scholars did not dare to guarantee the virtues of the government army.

If you go, you may not die. If you don’t go, you will definitely die. Accompanied by a leader of a foreigner, Xiucai went to the Ming army tent.

The commander of the Ming army was still kind and his mission was completed successfully. After bringing back the conditions of the government army, the scholar hid in his house and never dared to go out again.

Xiucai was not good at studying, but he was very accurate in judging people. The attitude of the head commander of the official army was very clear. He came with the intention of destroying Shuixi. How could peace talks be possible? Unless An Tai and She Chongming came out of their own, the Ming army would definitely attack.

Moreover, judging from the Ming army's posture, it should be a big problem to attack Xiashuixi Main Village.

The scholar also thought of taking advantage of the opportunity to run away from the Ming army, but the Fan army he followed gave him this idea.

So the scholar who returned to the house decided to stay in the door these days and just wait for the official army to attack. However, unexpectedly, early this morning, I heard a crackling sound of muskets at the foot of the mountain.
