Chapter 45 Gale in the second quarter

As a group of mobs, Chimei was able to defeat the 100,000 elite Central Army and kill Lian Dan, a famous general at the level of the Standing Committee of the New Dynasty. For a while, the world was shocked.After the initial astonishment, people inevitably began to reflect on whether this miraculous victory was due to the fact that Chimei was very strong, or because the army was too weak?Chimei is made up of refugees. They have no military training, poor weapons and equipment, and they often don't eat three meals a day. How can they be strong?Then the only conclusion can only be: the army is too weak, and weak to the bone.Chimei used their victory to tell all the ambitious people in the world that even if we can defeat the government, you can too!

The news of Chimei's victory reached Chongling in mid-October of this year.After hearing this, Liu Yan was ecstatic. This was the turning point he had been waiting for.In the battle of Chengchang, the important thing was not only the victory of Chimei, but also the transfer of momentum. The people who were originally afraid of the government gained confidence and courage to challenge the government. Gathered.So Liu Yan decided not to wait for the heroes of Nanyang, relying on the strength of Liu's clan, he turned his back first. However, Liu Yan originally thought that he had settled down with his own Liu clan, but when he saw the tragic death of Li Tong's family, he was so frightened that he retreated, unwilling to get involved with Liu Yan again. They rebelled, so they hid and fled, and they all said: "Bo Sheng kill me!" For the same ancestor, scolding them is equivalent to scolding himself, so he had to shut up resentfully.Liu Xiu laughed and said, "Don't worry, brother. I have a plan. I will make the clans gather."

As the dusk approached from afar, the city of Chongling was gradually lit with lights, and dinner was set out.Liu Xiu rode his horse and galloped back and forth in the city, shouting all the way: "Miss the night, one family, go to the ancestral temple to watch a hundred operas." A group of children came out after hearing the sound, and followed Liu Xiuma in ecstasy, and fell down while running. , while screaming and frolicking. On the high platform in front of Liu's ancestral temple, there are candles all around, as bright as day.The child arrived first, followed by the woman.And those Liu's children who were hiding also appeared like ghosts one after another, sneaking in. Since Liu Xiu spent money to watch the show for nothing, there is no reason not to watch it.Besides, for these small landlords and shabby households, it is an irresistible poignant beauty to go to the temple to watch Baixi with the support of two servants while spitting blood at dusk in autumn.

Baixi, like acrobatics today, was an important entertainment at that time.When the time comes, the music starts, two people play the flute, one plays the ji, and the other beats the drum, and the hundred operas are officially staged. It's still frightening to watch, and it's enjoyable. After the thrilling games were over, the high stage was completely empty, and there was no movement for a long time, even the band stopped.The audience held their breath and looked at the empty stage expectantly.Baixi is certainly exciting, but just like the Jiaying before the feature film and the pad match in boxing, there should be more exciting dramas in the future.

After a long time, a dwarf took the stage with a boy.A dwarf with a high crown and a splendid attire looks like a minister of power, and a young man with a crown in swallows and a crown is clearly a son of heaven.When the two came to Taichung, the dwarf saluted and toasted the young man, but the young man refused. The dwarf held the young man down and force-fed him.The young man couldn't struggle, he drank alcohol into his stomach, his seven orifices bled suddenly, and he fell to the ground.The whole process was like a mime, with only actions but no words. There are many fanciers in the audience, and they can't help whispering, which show is this?Why haven't I seen it before?Thinking about it further, I couldn't help but feel horrified. Could it be that he was insinuating that Wang Mang killed Emperor Xiaoping with poison?

In the second act, the dwarf returns with a child and locks the child in a dark room. The child cries, but the dwarf closes the door and ignores it. The fanciers realized that this time they were talking about Wang Mang's confinement of the boy Liu Ying.When Emperor Ping died, he had no son. Wang Mang chose Liu Ying, who was only two years old, as his heir, and named him Ruzi.As for Liu Ying, Wang Mang locked him in a dark room all the year round, forbidding seeing outsiders, even Liu Ying's nurse, forbidding to talk to him. Thinking of what happened to the boy Liu Ying, there were tears in the audience.

In the third act, the dwarves sit on the high steps, wearing the crown of the emperor, and several dwarfs prostrate to pay respects.There is no doubt that this is Wang Mang usurping the Han and proclaiming himself emperor. In the fourth act, in the Gaozu Temple, there is a statue of Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, standing in the middle.The dwarf stood in front of the portrait of Liu Bang again, spitting on the ground. Compared with the tall statue of Liu Bang, the dwarf looked extremely frivolous and funny. Needless to say, this time it is about Wang Mang destroying Liu Bang Temple.This was originally an event last year, Zhu Liu had never experienced it personally, and did not feel hatred, but after such a scene reappeared today, he felt that his ancestors had been humiliated, and his hatred was inexplicable. A lamp, whoever finds it in hand, grabs it and throws it wildly on the stage.

While dodging, the dwarf bowed to the audience, and finally spoke: "Everyone, calm down, why bother to take your anger out on me. The real Wang Mang is in Chang'an, and he has a feeling to find the right master." Hey, dare to talk back!All Liu's disciples were about to bleed, so they drew their swords one after another and rushed to the stage, but the dwarf died.Seeing that the dwarf's life was in danger, but hearing a loud noise, the gate of the ancestral temple opened suddenly.Liu Yan led 300 guests to come out in a file. All of them were armed with swords and armor.

At certain times, men need to dress up more.Liu Yan and his guests were often seen in Chongling City. They were always unkempt and unkempt, and looked like vulnerable groups.However, wearing such a military uniform today, it looks like an iron army majesty, which makes people daunting and heartbroken. Liu Yan jumped onto the high platform and looked around with contempt, as if he was invincible.Everyone didn't know what Liu Yan's intention was, and they didn't dare to move.Pointing at the dwarf, Liu Yan said sharply to the audience: "What is wrong with what the comedian said? The real Wang Mangjian is in Chang'an, and all the kings are men of seven feet. They dare not seek Wang Mang's revenge, but they are embarrassed by a dwarf. shame?"

Liu's children are silent.Liu Yan's prestige cannot be lightly committed; Liu Yan's words are irrefutable. Liu Yan's voice became higher and higher, and then he said: "I want to join the uprising army with the princes and restore the Han Dynasty. You just sit and watch, no shame at all. People are shameless, why not die? People forget their ancestors, and you will not die." After finishing speaking, he looked around the audience angrily, and roared: "How can I kill you! How can I kill you?" Gentlemen!" Everyone in the audience looked ashamed and could not respond.Although Liu Yan stood tall, his words were even higher. With just a few words, he had squeezed out the insignificance hidden under the leather robes of everyone.

Liu Yan paused for a moment, his eyes flicked across the faces, and said with a sneer: "Wang Mang pretended to be the destiny, usurped the Han and proclaimed himself the emperor, and he pitied the Liu family. They all lived by stealthily, willing to be the filial sons and grandsons of the new dynasty. Jiaojishou, I have written the seal and ribbon, for fear of being behind; it would be a pity for those who even praise the praises and virtues in order to be charming! I would like to ask you a question: the so-called descendants of the ancestors are dragons? Fleas? " There was a dead silence in the audience, everyone's heads lowered even more, not daring to make eye contact with Liu Yan.What kind of sad and angry eyes are there, mourning for his misfortune, angry for indisputable! Liu Yan pointed to the gate of the ancestral temple, and said again: "Before now, I have made a great vow in front of the statue of Gaozu. If I die, I will raise righteous soldiers and swear to kill Wang Mang. Someone must avenge Liu's revenge; Liu's Shame, someone has to blame it. You can follow me, and if you don’t follow me, I dare not force it, but please enter the ancestral temple, kneel in front of Gaozu’s spirit, and tell Gaozu personally.” Everyone was weeping and their blood was boiling. That was Liu Bang's blood, that was the blood of the royal family.No matter how moist the little days are, they seem ridiculous and nonsensical in the face of the righteousness of the family and the country.Yes, you must stand up and fight to regain the lost world of the Liu family. Even though you know that there are many dangers, but the righteousness is better than the living, and you will sacrifice your life for righteousness. At this moment, the statue of Gaozu on the stage suddenly stood up.Everyone was terrified and uneasy, thinking that Gaozu was manifesting spirits, and quickly bowed down.Gao Zu didn't open his mouth, but he clearly had a song of generosity. Song Yun: "When the strong wind blows, the clouds are flying, Vega will return to the homeland, and the warriors will guard the four directions!" The song passed over everyone's ears and echoed in the distant mountains, and the souls of the people also fluttered in the air along with the song.Vaguely, they seem to have come to the side of their ancestor Liu Bang, witnessing and sharing his once immortal glory. This song is exactly the "Great Wind Song" created by Liu Bang. The Lius have sung it since they were young. The lyrics and melody have been deeply rooted in their bones. When they hear this song today, they are all generous and sad. The statue of Gaozu sang again, and the song said: "When the strong wind rises, the clouds are flying, the thief steals the seat, the family mourns, and the peaceful son returns to the family!" The song changed from generosity to sadness, and melancholy to hope. chorus. As the singing continued, Gao Zu seemed to suddenly take off his mask and clothes, and it was Liu Xiu, wearing a crimson dress and a crown, just like Liu Yan's attire.Seeing that Liu Xiu also joined Liu Yan's rebellion, everyone was shocked and said: "Those who are sincere will do it again!" Seeing that everyone had surrendered, Liu Yan drew his sword and yelled: "Gaozu has taught that no one can be called king unless he is the Liu family. Otherwise, the whole world will attack him. Do you follow me?" Everyone's eyes were bloodshot, and their emotions were out of control. Hearing the words, they responded in unison: "I will obey, I will obey!" Liu Yan raised his knife and shouted: "Great wind, strong wind!" Then everyone drew their swords and shouted in unison: "Great wind, strong wind!" The word "Great Wind" here is derived from Liu Bang's "Great Wind Song", but as a slogan, it has another meaning.This wind is the wind of male and female seduction, that is, the meaning of sexual impulse, so there is a saying that horses and cattle are incompatible, that is, horses and cattle are only in heat with the same kind, and it is impossible to have sex together.So the toad only wants to eat the swan's flesh, and has no intention of stripping the swan's clothes.I don't know when, this wind gradually evolved from a noun to a verb, from sexual impulse to sexual action, and then became a dirty word similar to today's day.Big wind, big day also. Mr. Qian Zhongshu talked about humor and said: There is no obscenity, no laughter.In other words, among all the jokes, only dirty jokes are the funniest.With this sentence pattern, it can also be said that there is nothing dirty and not strong.Only when the words are dirty can the momentum be majestic enough.Therefore, when Liu Yan Dafeng talked about it, all Liu's children were excited. The women who were used to chirping while watching the theater closed their mouths and looked at this group of men who had lost their temper in amazement.They knew that their men were going to fight, and for the honor of their ancestors and their own dignity, they would rather die on the battlefield from now on.They no longer care about this poor little life now, and no longer pity them. Schopenhauer once wrote harshly: The essence of women is frivolous, short-sighted, and without a sense of justice. They can only pay attention to the things in front of them, and they are nostalgic for these. As for abstract principles of thought and fixed codes of conduct, A firm belief is only a man's patent, and it is unattractive to women.However, Uncle Weng's words are too vicious.Don't you see, amidst the overwhelming sound of the wind from the men, the women were also moved with tears in their eyes.In the face of a group of men getting angry, you can't help but be moved. The night is deep, the moon and stars are thin, and the fire is soaring into the sky.And this night was also the night when Chongling said goodbye to Tranquility and Pingfan.The matter is a foregone conclusion, the children of the Liu family in Chongling will unite together and bravely face the battle.From then on, the sand and grass are grazing in the morning, and the river and ice are crossing at night;
