Griffin Commander in the Late Ming Dynasty

"Well... I will wait and then leave."

A group of stewards left the meeting hall one after another, and a team of Jinyiwei strode into the gate almost brushing their shoulders.

"Jiang Muzhi, the owner of Jiang's Farm, I am Lu Guangyuan, a captain of the Southern Pacification Division, and I have been ordered to investigate the murder of an officer of the Imperial Guard. Let me ask you, did three flag officers enter your farm a few days ago?"

As soon as Lu Guangyuan entered the room, he went straight to the point without any intention of being euphemistic or polite, and asked right away.

"Ah, it turns out to be Lord Lu, it is indeed true."

"Why did those three people come to your place? What did they do here? Where did they go afterwards?"

"Hahaha, Your Excellency is really impatient. Why don't you sit down and have a cup of tea and we can talk slowly?"

Lu Guangyuan completely ignored Jiang Han's politeness and refused directly: "I am an official appointed by the court. I am here on orders. Don't be polite and flattering. You just need to answer my questions. I advise you to tell the truth. Otherwise, once you enter Zhaoyu, I will not question you so gently."

Jiang Han raised his hands slightly and saluted in a French military salute: "Okay, okay, don't be nervous, I'll tell you what I mean. Those three people did come to my manor. According to what they said, why did they come? They wanted to investigate the missing money case."

"Missing money case?"

Lu Guangyuan raised his hand to signal the guard behind him to write down this information.

"Then what did they do in the village?"

"They came to the village, beat and scolded the residents of my village at will, like dogs, and came to me and asked to search the warehouse of the village, and took the money and grain in my village back for inspection. During this period, the leader saw that the lady of the common people's family was beautiful, and said that she was a suspect in the money case, and wanted to take her away..."

Several people listened to Jiang Han's confession and looked up at the woman who had been standing silently beside Jiang Han.

Emerald green eyes, fair skin, and two blue hairpins on her head that make her look even more playful. Her appearance is more than just excellent, she is simply a beauty on earth. However, her hair color is a little strange, being white with a hint of elegant blue.

It's no wonder that his colleagues would be tempted by such a woman. These guys thought to themselves, if it were me, I would be tempted too! Why don't we take her home and play with her for a year?

Lu Guangyuan's expression remained unchanged: "What happened next? What happened next?"

"After that..."

Jiang Han gave a shy smile: "After that, I killed them all, chopped up their bodies and fed them to the dogs."

Volume 162: Chapter Chapter : I’m just gonna show my cards!

"How dare you! Surrender now!"

Hearing this, the guards who had been on guard nearby drew their swords and made a loud noise. With a flash of cold light, several Jinyiwei guards were about to step forward and execute the fierce wolf Jiang Han on the spot.

But they soon stopped, perhaps because of Lu Guangyuan's raised hand, or perhaps because of the black muzzle of the HK416.

"Come on, try moving again. I promise that each of you will be sleeping peacefully in two seconds."

The muzzle of the silenced gun pointed directly at Lu Guangyuan's brow with almost undisguised murderous intent, blocking all his possibilities of action.

As a captain of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, Lu Guangyuan's martial arts are naturally excellent, and this helps him better understand his situation. He is very familiar with things like muskets, as he himself has been in the Shenjiying of the Ming Dynasty. Although the thing in front of him looks a little strange, it must be a musket.

The hairs on his body stood up, and almost all the action plans that he had deduced in his mind seemed transparent in front of the other party's autumn eyes like clear water. No matter how he acted, the final outcome seemed to be death.

"Oh my, why do you pull out a knife when you have a disagreement? You are too violent. You have scared a kind and simple commoner like me so much that I am speechless."

Jiang Han covered his chest, looking terrified.

Kind and simple? Ordinary people? Which of these has anything to do with you?

Lu Guangyuan's eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe his ears. Since he joined the Jinyiwei, he had never seen such a shameless traitor.

"I have always been a peace-loving person. My personal motto is, if you treat me with sincerity, I will treat others with sincerity."

As Jiang Han spoke, he picked up the blue and white teacup beside him and took a sip: "Hmm, not too salty or bland, the taste is really great. Drinking tea is such a beautiful thing."

"Hey? Why don't you drink?"

Lu Guangyuan's face turned pale. He obviously couldn't accept being ignored and humiliated like this. "What exactly do you want to do, sir?"

"Captain! Don't waste your words on him. He only has a musket and can't do anything to us! It will only take a moment for us to execute him on the spot!"

Listening to his men's words, Lu Guangyuan cursed in his heart, "Of course I can't do anything to you with guns pointed at me, what should I do if you kill me?" A bunch of idiots who talk without any hesitation!

"Hey, look, the world is so wonderful, but you are so irritable. This is not good, not good. It was you who asked me questions, and I answered you truthfully. Why did you say I was angry? Why don't we sit down and have a good chat? If there are any misunderstandings, wouldn't it be better to talk them out?"

Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding? You killed our people, and you tell us it was a misunderstanding? This is because someone had a gun pointed at his head, otherwise Lu Guangyuan would have taken action long ago.

"Do you think there is still room for discussion between us? Murdering the Royal Guards is considered an infringement of the royal dignity and is tantamount to treason! Moreover..."

Lu Guangyuan glanced at the HK416 next to Jiang Han and said, "Private possession of firearms is already a serious crime of treason. According to the Ming Dynasty law, the entire clan should be executed and the whole clan should be tortured to death! I advise you to surrender obediently, so as not to commit more crimes. Once the imperial army arrives, your farm will be reduced to dust on the spot!"

Lu Guangyuan was very tough, or rather, he still didn't understand the current situation. The person in front of him was not a criminal awaiting trial, but a terrorist who had already revealed his identity on the spot.

"Lingchi in the street, and also punishing the entire clan? How terrible...! But I have a question. You Jinyiwei entered my farm, beat my farmers, robbed my property, and took my wife and daughter. According to you, what should I do?"

"Humph, we are officials and you are civilians. If an official makes a mistake, you can report it to the court. We will punish him, remove him from his position, and deduct his salary for several years. However, you killed the official as a civilian, which is a rebellion and is intolerable to heaven and earth!"

Listening to Lu Guangyuan's righteous words, Jiang Han nodded suddenly: "That is to say, as a commoner, I should silently endure when you officials bully me. If the official wants to hit me on the left cheek, I should also put my right cheek in front of him. Then, when the official is having fun, I will complain to another official and punish him with three glasses of strong liquor and some salary. Is that right?"

Jiang Han was narrating all this as if asking, but in fact stating it. He raised his head and looked at the stewards who had already surrounded the door tightly.

Looking at those angry faces, Jiang Han's voice slowly rose: "But, what is the basis for this? Since the Qin Dynasty, there has been a question, are kings, princes, generals, and ministers of different species? Why, when we live our lives honestly at home, someone will come to our homes as a matter of course, beat us, rob our money and food, and abuse our wives? The punishment they get afterwards is just dismissal and salary deduction? Why are they so noble than us?"

"Who gave you the right to wantonly trample on human life and human dignity? Who gave you the right to look down on those who work hard? Who gave you the right to wantonly exploit and squeeze every drop of oil from every kind-hearted person, just to fill your lard-filled treasury?"

Lu Guangyuan's face was gloomy, and he almost broke his teeth: "This is treasonous and absurd! We can't let you continue to deceive the people with your lies! Do it!"

Peng Peng! !

Two loud noises rang out in the room, and before the soldiers could react, their chief officer, Qianhu Lu Guangyuan, had his knees broken by HK416 and fell to the ground. And all this happened in just a short moment.

"I told you, two seconds. If you still don't believe me, you can try it."

416 The clear words echoed in their ears, like a splash of cold water poured over the heads of the guards.

"Don't believe what this woman says, she must be bluffing! She must have no extra guns! Fight side by side!"

A soldier shouted loudly, and everyone thought, that's right, although there were two gunshots, the other party must have hidden an extra gun somewhere, and they almost got fooled by him!

Peng!

Before the man who spoke could finish his words, a bloody hole appeared between his eyebrows.

"Have your people always been so brave?"

The body fell to the ground with a thud. Jiang Han couldn't help but complain to Lu Guangyuan who was wailing in pain and shaking on the ground.

Now everyone could see clearly that there was no hidden gun, no decoy, it was just the bullets shot from that musket, and she could fire continuously!

Looking at the trembling guards at the moment, Jiang Han nodded with satisfaction.

"Very good, it seems that we have reached a consensus on the basic atmosphere of this dialogue. Next, we need to fully exchange opinions. Let me first state the conclusion: I will attack Yangzhou City."

Volume 163: Chapter Chapter : Rising of the Starving and Cold Slaves

Is this person crazy?

After hearing these words, this thought instantly popped up in the minds of the Jinyiwei soldiers present.

Lu Guangyuan fell to the ground, his face full of pain: "Damn it, the other party dared to hide the musket, and dared to kill the Jinyiwei like this, he must be a madman. I actually fell into the hands of a madman. This is really, really..."

It is no wonder that these people think so. After all, Yangzhou City is at least a fortified city.

The tall city walls that have existed since the Song Dynasty have become increasingly powerful after being continuously reinforced and raised. As a famously wealthy place, the city defense forces of Yangzhou City are also wealthy and willing to spend money. Not only are the soldiers well-equipped with weapons and armor, but there are also many cannons on the city walls.

Moreover, as a land of plenty and an important tax collection area for the imperial court, the defense measures here can be said to be quite complete, with sufficient manpower. Even an army of 100,000 would find it difficult to capture it. You are just a small farm owner, and you say you want to attack the county town as soon as you open your mouth. Who do you think you are? Are you a god?

They regarded Jiang Han's words as a complete joke. Even if the other party had a musket that could fire continuously, could you really beat a cannon?

"You didn't kill me, but kept me here, just to listen to your nonsense and crazy talk!"

Lu Guangyuan's face was covered in cold sweat. After all, he was a warrior and he had to endure the pain and be stubborn.

"Of course there are other reasons. I kept you here mainly because I want you to help me pass a message to the city. Today is the Spring Festival and everyone is celebrating the festival in the city. If I attack the city now, it will inevitably cause chaos. In this way, countless families will be separated, which is not what I want. So, you go into the city now and tell the adults in the city that I am going to attack the city. Let them prepare and evacuate the people. In this way, less killing can be done."

Are you serious?

Jinyiwei really wanted to ask Jiang Han this question, you just killed one of us without changing your expression, you also killed three Jinyiwei before, the four characters of treason were engraved on your forehead, the Qianhu and dead colleagues beside you were still bleeding, you told us that you wanted to kill less, so you didn't want to raid Yangzhou? ?

This guy is really a lunatic, right? He must be crazy, right? His mind must be very abnormal, right?

"You must be thinking, is this man a lunatic? Why would he have such an idea? It's normal that you can't understand. I don't blame you, and I don't care what you think. I just need you to take my message back to Yangzhou City and pass on this message. This is the city I have stayed in for some time after all, and I don't want to see it flooded with blood."

Is that the problem? Is that the problem? Are you still worried about whether there will be a river of blood in Yangzhou? Did you know that there will be a river of blood in your village soon? With so few people like you, it is a problem whether you can even see the wall of Yangzhou City. You even need to inform the defenders in the city in advance that I am going to attack you, so get ready. Isn't this stupid? Isn't this a brain bullet?

"Okay, I think you all understand what I mean. Everyone, please see me out."

Jiang Han clapped his hands and sat back in his seat calmly, watching the Jinyiwei glaring at him with angry eyes, carrying his captain and dragging his comrades, and slowly leaving the courtyard.

"Commander, you don't really intend to inform the enemy in advance that we are going to attack the city, and then wait for them to be ready before starting the battle? Now that M4 and the others are not here, our frontal assault capabilities are not that good."

As soon as these people left, HK416, who had been silent and playing the role of bodyguard very diligently, started to ask. Of course, in her opinion, as long as it was the commander's order, taking down Yangzhou City would only be a little tricky for such an excellent person like her.

"Well, let me keep it a secret for now. I'll tell you the reason when LTLX and the others come back."

"Okay... then you must tell me."

HK416 curled her lips, accepting the result. In fact, she was a little angry when Jiang Han excluded those people to carry out a mission but did not include her. As the best, strongest and most reliable 416, she felt that she could complete any mission perfectly. However, just when she was about to go up to ask for an explanation, the commander said that he really needed her by his side.

Really, saying something like that makes it impossible to lose your temper, the Commander is so cunning!

"Someone come and clean the floor. The blood is all over the floor and it makes me sick. What's going on? The hygiene conditions are not up to standard."

Jiang Han frowned and spoke to the managers who were still looking at him blankly.

"oh oh!!"

The servant outside the door quickly came to his senses and ran out to find a bucket to clean the floor.

No, is this the time to discuss hygiene?

"Dong, Dong, we are waiting, if I heard correctly..."

Several managers still felt a little bit unbelievable and stepped forward cautiously to test the waters.

"Yes, I am preparing to rebel. Once they are ready, I will capture Yangzhou City in the next two days."

Jiang Han's matter-of-fact look was simply frightening.

"But, but there are at least 20,000 troops stationed in Yangzhou City, and there are only 10,000 of us in the whole village. How...how can we capture it?"

"So you don't object to my rebellion?"

Ah this...

Since the attack on Yangzhou seemed too outrageous to everyone, the sudden rebellion of the host seemed much more normal to everyone.

After all, these days, the government is corrupt and the people are living in poverty. Rebellion is too common for people to survive. But yes, people rebel because they have no way to survive and it is a helpless act. We are now living a prosperous life and are more hopeful day by day. Why should we rebel?

Isn't it good to live a peaceful life like this? Why would you risk your life for no reason?

Looking at the puzzled eyes of the people around him, Jiang Han sighed: "It seems that you haven't understood one thing yet."

“Let me ask you, where does your current life come from?”

"Aren't these all brought by you, Boss? Oh, I understand. What you mean is that everything we have is brought by you, and you can take it away at any time."

"Indeed, without the boss, we wouldn't be where we are today!"

A group of people were speculating.

"Hey...I told you to study more, but you insisted on raising pigs"

Jiang Han was helpless. Why were they all so stupid?

"My role is just to give you an opportunity and a platform, but isn't the value created by you yourselves?"

"Ma Dafu, have you forgotten how you worked so hard on the construction site, getting up early and working late, in order to build a house for your family?"

"And you, Zhang Changsheng, your wife went out to sell cakes every day and her voice became hoarse and she couldn't speak for three or four days. Have you forgotten?"

"And you...and you..."

"Your happy life is not given by others, nor is it someone's grace, but is created by your own hands."

Hearing Jiang Han's words, the managers lowered their heads in disbelief and looked at their rough and calloused palms.

"But if those Jinyiwei came to your home, what would happen? You should know it clearly, right?"

"They will take away your land and everything you have worked for, and make your life, which is now slightly better, return to the brink of death where even having a full meal is a luxury. Tell me, can you agree to such an outcome?"

"cannot!!!"

Finally, someone shouted loudly. The officials recalled the days they had lived. Where was the government when they were naked in the cold wind? Where was the government when they lost everything in natural disasters and man-made disasters? Where was the government when they were struggling to survive on the line between life and death? Finally, finally, when they could earn a good life for themselves with their own hands, the government came, not to help them, not to implement good governance, but to take away everything they had fought for.
