Chapter 40 Private Recruitment
"Now that half of the country has fallen into the hands of the Tartars, the lives of the people are ruined, and the people are like a pit of fire. The dragon veins of the Han family are about to be turned into the hands of foreign races. As a man of the Han family, how can we just live in this pool of water!" Wang Huan said with dignity. , speaking as fast as a machine gun, Zubian didn’t even have time to think, let alone interrupt.

Wang Huan is very confident when it comes to bickering and scolding. In college, he was a contestant on the school debate team, and now he can face a group of bandits who are not good at articulating with ease.

"Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of a country!" Wang Huan used a famous quote from a famous person and concluded: "Zu Bian, you two brothers have not contributed to the country. You are ashamed of your ancestors and ashamed of the people. Do you really want to be the one who shrinks?" Turtle, are you wasting your martial arts in vain, wasting your time in this puddle?"

As soon as the words fell, there was complete silence inside and outside the circle, and everyone was stunned. If they hadn't heard it with their own ears, no one would believe that these words came from the Qing army who came to recruit security. What are you doing?Aren't you a Tartar?Why do you still have a Han family and a Han family? Could it be that the Han people are not resolute enough to resist and want to add some obstacles to the change of dynasty?

However, among the water thieves, there are sharp-eyed ones who have already seen that the braids on the backs of Li Tingyu and others in the circle are gone, so a whisper spread among the water thieves in the outer circle: "Look, their braids are gone, Are they really wearing white-pole uniforms?"

Zu Bian's complexion changed several times. No matter how stupid he was, he still realized that something was different. After thinking for a while, he frowned and asked, "You are Li Tingyu, commander of the white-armed soldiers? I have seen the prestige of the white-armed soldiers before, and Li Tingyu's name." I've heard of it too, but you don't look like this."

Wang Huan straightened his chest, and shouted confidently: "Of course it's me, I'm Li Tingyu, the commander in chief!"

As soon as these words came out, not only the water thieves, but even Li Tingyu and others who surrounded the gun formation blushed a little. The real person was right in front of them, and it was too thick-skinned to pretend to be someone else.

But I heard Wang Huan continue to say: "The counselor Wang Huan, Li Tingyu and Master Li, are by my side!"

As soon as Wang Huan pointed to his side, Li Tingyu had no choice but to stand up, threw his spear into the air, and responded like a student answering a question: "Yes, I am Li Tingyu!"

Zu Bian and the others looked at it intently and saw that it was the general whose voice sounded like thunder at first and who looked like a god of death. They couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief and thought to themselves: This is right.

"If you are really the army of the Ming Dynasty, why do you pretend to be Qing dogs?" Zu Bian thought for a while and asked again.

Wang Huan snorted coldly, and said calmly: "Why? To let you see the true face of Wang Tao, a vanity-hungry villain! Everyone said that Hongze Lake pirates ran rampant on the water and did justice for the sky. The rebellion was to seek a way out. But I don't know that the head of the family is actually a treacherous person who betrays his friends and seeks glory. If you don't dig out this scum like Wang Tao, you will still be kept in the dark. You don't know if you are sold by him. As long as the Qing soldiers come, he will Using you as bargaining chips in exchange for his glory and wealth, you have also seen that in order to seek refuge with the Qing Dynasty, he did not hesitate to go to war with you, confronting you with swords and guns, facts speak louder than words, you have all seen it, isn’t it clear?”

When the water thieves heard this, there was another commotion. All these words made sense, and the facts that happened were witnessed by everyone. There was not a single lie. Wang Tao's despicable behavior was obvious to everyone. If it weren't for the ancestral brothers' persistence, this would not have happened. By then, I’m afraid everyone would have shaved their heads and left their hair in braids.

Zu Bian hesitated for a moment, and felt that in front of outsiders, it seemed that the unity among the water thieves should be maintained. After all, family ugliness should not be publicized. After all, Wang Tao is also the head of Hongze Lake. It has nothing to do with the Qing court or the Ming court.So Zubian spoke again, but his voice was much lower, and he felt very unsure.

"Even if there is something wrong with the head of the family, it is for the sake of the brothers. It is not as unbearable as you said."

Before he finished speaking, Wang Huan spoke up, and threw out a quick retort: ​​"For the sake of the brothers? You turn around, look at the hole in your eldest brother's shoulder, and then touch your conscience. , is it really what you said?"

In the spirit of speaking, Wang Huan simply stretched out his hands, lined up the white soldiers in front of him, and came out more and more. Li Tingyu was startled, and before he had time to pull, he saw Wang Huan walking out of the circle in a big way, standing When they arrived in front of Zu Bian, they almost stood face to face.

"Wang Tao, as the head of the family, only seeks his own self-interest. He has been recruited by the Qing court. Of course, he can be rich and honored forever, but what about you? Your brother and the Qing dog are at odds with each other. How do you deal with each other? Wang Tao Have you considered it? No! What about the brothers who followed you? They were originally forced by the imperial court and joined the gang as a last resort. Do you think the Qing court will show mercy to the rebellious fishermen? If you are lucky, you will be sent to a place of bitter cold, and if you are lucky, you will almost directly Sent to the Manchu Tartars as slaves, you will never be able to stand up again, if you really get to that point, Zubian, you are the chief culprit!"

When Wang Huan said a word, he took a step forward, and Zu Bian subconsciously took a step back. Wang Huan took seven steps in a row, and Zu Bian took a step back. He looked around in a hurry, but it was inconvenient to direct the spear formation to press directly over it. If the water thief was in a hurry and cut Wang Huan directly, it would be bad.In desperation, he had no choice but to stay where he was and jump.

Zu Bian was pale and at a loss. Looking at Wang Huan, who was a head shorter than him, he felt as if a mountain was pressing in front of him, and he could hardly breathe.He looked around at the water thief brothers around him, and found that everyone was silently looking at him, their eyes were dim, and their faces were full of despair and helplessness.

"Really, is it really this far?" Zu Bian glanced at Wang Huan, hesitantly asking.

Wang Huanru, the teacher who taught his disciples, said angrily: "Of course, you are from Liaodong, and the temper of the Tartars is the clearest, but when did they talk about kindness to the people of the Han family?"

Wang Huan sighed, looked in all directions, and said loudly to the water thieves who were surrounded three times inside and outside: "Right now, China is in danger. Men of the Han family, think about your wives and children, think about your future, are you willing to be the slaves of a subjugated country and be the slaves of others forever?"

After a pause, he took a deep breath and roared angrily: "In order to survive, for the whole family to survive, risk it all and join us and fight the Qing court!"

"Of course I fought Qinggou!" A water thief in the crowd blurted out.

"Good man!" Wang Huan gave a thumbs up to the direction where the man was standing.

As soon as the talking water thief uttered his words, the others all looked sideways at him, looking at him. The water thief was originally a small character, and he didn't have the part to speak in this scene anyway. He also knew his identity, but just now Wang Huan said To be generous, when I was excited, I screamed when my brain got hot. At this time, everyone's eyes were on me, and I suddenly became uneasy, and I didn't know how to let go of my hands and feet.

This response was like a circle of ripples in stagnant water. The whisper of "buzzing" spread in the crowd, and the water thieves were stunned. Gradually, their voices became louder, and they could be heard clearly. There was a voice of "he said it well!"

Zu Bian didn't speak, his face was cloudy and cloudy, obviously he was fighting with heaven and man in his heart, and the inner struggle was fierce.

Wang Huan strikes while the iron is hot, with sincerity in his eyes, he looks at Zu Bian earnestly and asks: "Zu Bian, join us, not to be recruited by the Ming court, but to be recruited by me, Wang Huan, on behalf of the white soldiers."
