The Counterattack of the Villains in the Movie World

Chapter 107 Power ministers come to vote for Zao Wou-ki

"The golden seat in front of the Buddha, the Arhat returns to the throne, subduing the dragon and subduing the tiger..."

"Su Can, you have enjoyed all the riches and honors in the world, and you have also suffered all the sufferings in the world. Now that you are fully enlightened, I, as the seventh-generation successor of Hong Qigong, will confer on you the Sleeping Dream Arhat, and then use the Huimeng mental method to teach you the Sleeping Dream Arhat Kungfu." , I hope you make good use of it."

Su Can, who was sleeping, woke up suddenly, and shouted loudly: "Senior."

But senior is already in the clouds.

Su Can looked around, only to find four large characters on the ground——All the hardships and the rewards.

Clenching his fists, feeling that he has lost his power for almost half a year, even stronger than half a year ago, Su Can can only lament the impermanence of the world.

No one would have imagined that he, a son of honor and honor, who was second in the martial arts list in the first year of Xianfeng, would end up becoming a beggar.

What was even more unexpected was that the beggar he had met in Guangdong and who had been in a brothel for a month because he was in a good mood turned out to be the most senior elder of the beggar gang and the seventh generation heir of Hong Qigong.

This senior beggar not only recovered his meridians and dantian that were interrupted by Zao Wou-ki, but also taught him his miraculous kung fu "Sleeping Arhat Fist" in a miraculous way.

"Senior, why don't you just help me kill Zhao Wuji? He killed the leader of the beggar gang, and he is the enemy of our beggar gang. Thousands of disciples of the Beggar Clan are shoulder to shoulder. To deal with a villain like Zao Wou-ki, we don't need to talk about morals."

Su Can failed to get the response from his senior.

Su Can, who was frightened by Zao Wou-ki, has recovered his martial arts and made further progress, but still lacks self-confidence.

Although he can now release his internal energy to the outside, it is obvious that compared with someone like Zhao Wuji who was able to release his internal energy a long time ago, there is still a certain gap.

In melancholy, Su Can suddenly thought of the beggar gang leader election meeting to be held in the next few days.

In the past six months, Su Can was forced by Seng Gelinqin's people to be a beggar in the capital. He and Su's father never thought about going back to Guangzhou. They had offended too many people by acting arrogantly in Guangzhou before, and they would definitely be punished if they went back. kill.

Although there are Seng Gelinqin and Zhao Wuji in the capital, after all, they will not really kill their father and son. It is better to live than to die.

Now that he has become a beggar, after a lot of hardships, Su Can successfully meets Rushuang, the lover of his dreams, and because of this, he joins the beggar gang.

Su Can, whose mentality has already changed, has not been sleeping all day in the past six months. Relying on his talent and his status as a martial arts master, he has gained some status in the beggar gang, and has taught him a lot. Hundreds of apprentices.

Martial arts are abolished, but the experience has not disappeared, and one cannot fight but can be taught.

Su Can, who is about to become the chief coach of thousands of disciples of the Beggar Gang, is fairly well-informed among the Beggar Gang.

So Su Can knows very well that the leader selection meeting of the Beggar Gang that has been brewing for half a year is about to begin. Help the lord, and you can get the cheat book of "The Eighteen Palms of Subduing the Dragon" and the Great Returning Pill that can increase your internal strength dramatically.

"If I have the Great Returning Pill, my internal strength may be higher than that of Zhao Wuji, and with Zhiyang Zhigang's unique skill "Eighteen Palms of Subduing the Dragon", there is hope for revenge. If I can take revenge, even though I It will never be possible to become the No. [-] scholar again, but if I kill Zhao Wuji, the No. [-] martial artist, isn’t he even more powerful than the No. [-] scholar? That Rushuang girl...hehehe..."

Still thinking about Rushuang's Su Can, she decides to run for the leader of the Beggar Gang.

After he became the coach, even if he was a middle and high-level member of the Beggar Gang, he would naturally have this opportunity, but before his martial arts were abolished, he would be beaten down if he went up, so he didn't sign up.

"Is it in time?"

Just when Su Can rushed back to the temporary headquarters of the Beggars' Gang, Wu Yan finally received the news that the Beggars' Gang's help selection meeting was going to be held.

"It's too late." Wu Yan said with a smile: "So don't worry, prepare your troops and train daily."

Huatong leads out of Wu Yan's tent.

After nearly half a year, Wu Yan's No. 360 Scholar camp has finally developed. He, the No. [-] Martial Arts Scholar who was named the first-class bodyguard of the imperial court, has also become a real powerful faction among the Beijing officials. After all, he has [-] people in his hands. Elite soldiers equipped with firearms.

Moreover, Wu Yan's direct superior is Emperor Xianfeng, and even the Ministry of War can't control him.

In this era when the signs of troubled times have already appeared, there is a big difference between Wengui and Wubai.

Therefore, people often come to visit Wu Yan.

"Master Zeng, please?"

Wu Yan also signaled to a civil servant in the camp, his attitude was very polite, which surprised the civil servant.

In terms of rank, he is a senior official of the second rank, he also served as the left servant of the Ministry of War, and now he is the left servant of the Ministry of Punishment, completely crushing Wu Yan, a first-class guard of the third rank, but the county magistrate is not as good as the current one, and has no chance to meet the saint at any time And he, when dealing with Wu Yan, also has an equal attitude.

This warrior seems a little unusual.

Master Zeng in Wu Yan's mouth did not know that the reason why Wu Yan was very polite to him was not because Wu Yan was a polite person, but because his name was Zeng Guofan.

Zeng Guofan, born in 1811, was a Jinshi in the 18th year of Daoguang (1838). He was No. 3 in the first class of imperial examinations. , and became the current second-rank member.

The historical evaluation of this person is actually very polarized. Some people think that he is a big traitor, saying that he once shaved his head. For his own power and the trust of the emperor, as a Han, he killed an unknown number of Han.

Some people also think that he is a benchmark figure in the ancient officialdom by self-cultivation and self-discipline, seeking officials with virtue, putting the rule of law first, and seeking government with loyalty.

Why is there such a big difference?

In Wu Yan's view, the future Taizu's two-sentence comment on this person can fully summarize it.

The first sentence is: Give it to the neighbors, and serve Zeng Wenzheng alone.Seeing that he cleaned up the battle between Hong and Yang, he was perfect, so if he changes his position today, can he be as perfect as that?
This quote is good, and it couldn't be better.

Let’s not talk about Zeng Guofan’s “single server”, just say that the future Taizu modestly believes that even if “I am in his position now, I may not be as perfect as he did”, it is enough to prove how high the evaluation of Zeng Guofan is. .

The second sentence is: Zeng Guofan is the most powerful figure in the landlord class.

Is this sentence a bad review?
Not counting.

Because of this sentence, many people think that Zeng Guofan is still a traitor and a landlord who needs to be defeated, but everyone should understand the truth of finding a job in his position.

Standing on the shoulders of giants and relying on the vision of later generations created by the development of the times, it should not be used to criticize characters created by different times and affected by historical limitations.

Although Zeng Guofan destroyed the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and killed an unknown number of Han Chinese, no matter whether he was a Han Chinese or not, he should not be viewed from the perspective of future generations, but should be viewed from the perspective of the time.

The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom suddenly revolted under the watchful eyes of the great powers.

As a member of the imperial court, Zeng Guofan is going to help the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom?
Hong Xiuquan failed three college exams, so he could only work as a private school teacher in the village, and then founded Catholicism, claiming to be the son of God, the younger brother of Jesus, and replaced the tablet of Confucius with the tablet of God, and began to rebel with false rumors.

They said that everyone is equal, but after the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom occupied Nanjing, they were greedy for enjoyment and struggled for power and profit, so there was the Tianjing Incident, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has also gone downhill since then.

Even if Zeng Guofan did not destroy the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, or even voted for the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom would not be successful and would still be wiped out. A capable person like Zeng Guofan would inevitably be forced to flee by Hong Xiuquan like Shi Dakai.

Of course, the historical achievements of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom cannot be denied, but no matter from the later perspective or from the perspective of the time, the hopeless Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is not much better than the decadent Qing Dynasty. Feudal autocratic monarchy.

Although Wu Yan is a person of future generations and has the vision of future generations, he will not feel that Zeng Guofan must be killed because Zeng Guofan killed many Han people.

To see the essence through the performance of things, the criticism of Zeng Guofan not only has not happened at this time, but the root cause lies in the Qing government.

And in Wu Yan's view, although Zeng Guofan looked down on the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, it didn't mean that Zeng Guofan also looked down on his Ming Empire.

Although his Ming Empire only existed in his imagination, Zeng Guofan had already been appointed as one of the elders of the Ming Empire. The Ming Empire must be the same as the Ming Dynasty. There is no so-called prime minister system, only the cabinet.

In fact, there is no difference between joining the cabinet and worshiping the prime minister.

There are several other scheduled candidates, including Li Hongzhang, Zhang Zhidong, Zuo Zongtang, and Wu Yan, who are going to round up the four famous ZTE ministers in the late Qing Dynasty.

As for Li Hongzhang, who is more notorious, he is reasonable and a proper blame man.

Did Li Hongzhang just want to sign those traitorous contracts?

It's not that the Qing government is too sluggish, and no one can beat it.

"If an ordinary person travels here and hears that Zao Wou-ki has proclaimed himself emperor, and his two assistant ministers are Zeng Guofan and Li Hongzhang, wouldn't he have to ask the villains to counterattack?"

Wu Yan thought about these things, and led Zeng Guofan who came to ask for advice out of the tent.

It was already 1852 at this time, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement became more and more powerful. The imperial court already had the idea of ​​allowing honorable gentry to recruit brave camps to suppress the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement.

Zeng Guofan has already achieved the ultimate. If he wants to go further, he will naturally need more credit. Naturally, he came up with the idea of ​​​​establishing a brave camp, so he came to ask for advice with the idea of ​​not looking at nothing, looking at it without money The No. [-] Scholar Camp.

This is the only newly formed regular military camp near the capital in the past few years.

The 41-year-old Zeng Guofan, standing beside the 26-year-old Zao Wou-Ki, looks a little old.

Just as he was about to ask how long it would take to assemble the soldiers, Zeng Guofan heard the sound of neat chants, and the sound of dong, dong that was getting closer, as if someone was beating a drum with a fixed rhythm.

"One, two, one."

After two rows of tents, a group of soldiers came out neatly.

These soldiers wore clear hats on their heads, leather armor on their upper bodies, and civilian uniforms in the Qing army style inside, but they were not walking boots, but leather boots that looked very new.

Everyone carried a gun on their shoulders, a knife and a short thorn across their waists, and a blue cloth bag.

When he saw these people, Zeng Guofan's expression became shocked, because not only were all of these people in high spirits, but they also looked high-spirited, and their actions were even more uniform.

The thud, thud, like a war drum, was the sound made by these soldiers stepping on the ground at the same time while walking.

There were 360 ​​people in a row of 10, a total of 36 rows, and when they all walked to the school grounds, there was no confusion at all.

But when the first 12 rows stopped moving forward, the movement of the feet still did not stop, and the rhythm of one-two-one continued, and they kept stepping on the spot.

The 24 rows at the back also bypassed the people in front and separated from the left and right. The movements were also very neat, and they changed into a row of 30 people, a total of 12 rows.

"Stand...decided."

Huatong on the horse raised a small flagpole and shouted, and all the sounds disappeared in an instant.

Zeng Guofan was shocked, he had never seen such a coordinated barracks.

Zhao Wuji, the champion of martial arts, actually has the ability to control soldiers?
Wu Yan did not ridicule Zeng Guofan's strangeness, the performance of these people is far worse than that of the Chinese soldiers of later generations.

When he was walking just now, the guns were a little messy, and the swing of the knife and bullet bag on his waist was also disorderly.

Still need more practice.

Wu Yan asked with a smile: "Master Zeng, would you like to come with me these two days and see how we wiped out the high-ranking members of the Beggar Gang?"

Naturally, Zeng Guofan nodded in agreement, whether he really has the ability to manage soldiers, not only depends on the drill, but also depends on the actual combat.
