311 Life for Life (2 in 1)(1/2)
"Admiral Shen, you are here."
"I've seen Admiral Chen!"
"Admiral Chen, I am Wang Xiaoliu, and my injury has been completely healed now."
"And my injuries are also thanks to the medicine brought by Admiral Chen!"
"Admiral Chen is a great kindness and great virtue, and the young will never forget you!"
The ordinary rebels on both sides of the road shouted warmly at Chen Yichen. Those who didn't know thought that they had entered the imperial guard camp, and there was no sense of incongruity at all.
Chen Yichen's life is a medical doctor brought by Xu Fengyuan. It can be said that he saved the lives of many rebel soldiers. This is the care and duty that they once could not experience in Fujian officials.
People's hearts are full of flesh. Chen Yichen is worthy of the people of Fujian and the soldiers of the rebel army. They will naturally remember this kindness.
However, this scene fell in Deng Maoqi's eyes. His face was complicated and his heart was mixed. Chen Yichen's prestige in the rebel army was far beyond his expectations, and he even felt like he was overwhelming.
By the way, Chen Yichen is a good official. He did his best to save the life of the rebel army. But he could not represent the Ming court, nor could he represent the officials of the world. Can a person's efforts change the world?
Deng Maoqi always believed that his refusal to attract help was not because of Chen Yichen's obvious ambitions and imperial hegemony. He also thought about these 100,000 rebel brothers!
"Admiral Chen, we met again."
Looking at Chen Yichen walking to him, Deng Maoqi still maintained his etiquette and bowed to him first.
"Don't be fine, Chief Deng."
Chen Yichen replied with a smile, and the two of them seemed to meet again like old friends, and they could not see any mortal enemy.
"Of course, please advise Admiral Chen to come to the mansion to attend the palace. Deng prepared wine and food to welcome the air and dust."
After saying that, Deng Maoqi turned around and made a request gesture, indicating that Chen Yichen should go first.
"Captain Deng, you know that my official character has always been straightforward, so there is no need to be accustomed to the public."
"Why don't we just talk about the serious matter?"
Chen Yichen has the courage to take risks alone, which does not mean that he is a naughty man who likes to seek death.
Chen Yichen, the mansion in front of him, didn’t know who the original owner was, but judging from the appearance of the copper-riveted door, it must be a deep mansion.
I believe that few people don’t know about the story of Hongmen Banquet. Chen Yichen dared to come to the city to face Deng Maoqi. The biggest ceremonial war was actually not the guards of these hundreds of people, but the 100,000 rebels under the other party!
After entering this gate, Deng Maoqi must really make up his mind to kill, and Chen Yichen is not sure that he can get out.
Since that's the case, the best way is not to go in!
Hearing Chen Yichen's words, Deng Maoqi's pupils shrank violently.
Everyone is smart, Chen Yichen's attitude of being on guard is obvious, why doesn't Deng Maoqi understand?
"Admiral Chen is really brave. He knows that there is a tiger in the mountain, but he still dares to enter the city."
Deng Maoqi said meaningfully, Chen Yichen's courage really made him admire him, so there was no need to pretend to be confused with his understanding.
"If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get a tiger's son? Leader Deng, you may not believe it, but I always have 100,000 rebels in my heart and do not want them to be the dead souls of the imperial army."
"Since Admiral Chen is merciful, why did he lead the army to the forefront?"
"Because it is not my official who decides the ending, but your leader Deng!"
When he said this, Chen Yichen's tone was extremely serious, even with a faint sense of anger.
Deng Maoqi led the uprising of poor peasants, fighting against the court and seeking a way out. In a sense, Chen Yichen respected him as a man.
But the dragon-slaying boy finally became an evil dragon. When 100,000 rebels were captured under his command, and when the opportunity to ban the territory was right in front of him, Deng Maoqi finally did not resist his inner ambitions and desires.
His current actions are more like carrying 100,000 rebels to bury his imperial edicts!
Feeling Chen Yichen's anger, Deng Maoqi opened his mouth to defend himself, but he couldn't say anything at the end of his mouth.
The only one who knows the real purpose may be now.
Or in other words, Deng Maoqi himself didn't know whether it was right or wrong.
Looking at the other party silently, Chen Yichen turned around and signaled to Wang Neng, who came to his side with a wooden box.
"Captain Deng, this is a justice for the 100,000 rebels and countless people who died in vain!"
As Chen Yichen finished speaking, Wang Neng opened the wooden box directly, and the head of the right governor of Fujian Song Zhang was placed in it!
Song Zhang's head appeared, and immediately caused a commotion among the rebels in front of the mansion. Chen Shangong, the seventh subordinates of Deng Maoqi, and others, had a look of surprise on their faces. They did not expect that Chen Yichen would really accept this letter of fame!
This is the highest commander of the Fujian Provincial Administration and a second-rank official in the court. How much price does Chen Yichen have to pay and how much risk he bear to bring his head into Quanzhou City?
"Is this really Song Zhang's head?"
A rebel general muttered to himself, as if he didn't really believe in the picture in front of him.
"That's right, I've seen this dog official once, and it's indeed his neck!"
"It's Song Zhang. When he came to Jianning Mansion to occupy land, I was dragged to welcome the ceremonial war. I will never forget my appearance in my life!"
"Admiral Shen really brings us justice!"
Indignant voices were heard everywhere, but Chen Yichen's eyes were staring at Deng Maoqi.
"Captain Deng, what I promised has been done, what about you?"
When Chen Yichen left the camp of the rebel army, Deng Maoqi made a promise to exchange his life for the head of the right governor Song Zhang, and to give justice to all the people of Fujian.
Now Song Zhang's head of the neck is right in front of him, Chen Yichen needs to use Deng Maoqi's life to calm the anger of the court and the emperor!
"Admiral Chen, if you want to take your elder brother's life, you have to pass my level first!"
Deng Maoba, standing behind Deng Maoqi, faced Chen Yichen's aggressiveness and knew that the opportunity to do it could no longer be delayed.
Even in front of the soldiers of the righteous army in the distance, he had to take Chen Yichen first and then talk about it. Otherwise, the news of Song Zhang's execution spread throughout the camp and the morale of the army would be difficult to stabilize!
"Deng Maoba, no..."
When Deng Maoqi realized what his younger brother wanted to do, he subconsciously wanted to stop him. Before he could say the word "Ke", he was covered up by Deng Maoba's voice.
"Brothers, do it!"
With a roar, several rich doors opened, and the trusted ambushers who were lying in the mansion came out one after another and rushed towards Chen Yichen and others.
This kind of scene made Chen Yichen stunned for a moment. He never expected that the other party would be so decisive.
Wu Rui next to him was still experienced. Almost the moment the ambush appeared, he shouted: "Forge a formation and cover the admiral!"
Dozens of border guards immediately took off the shield hanging on the horse's back, and then formed a circle to firmly escort Chen Yichen's guards. At the same time, Cang Huotou, Ye Zongliu and others also pulled out long swords from their waists, lined up to confront the ambush organized by Deng Maoqi.
The appearance of this scene stunned the ordinary uprising soldiers standing in the distance and watching Chen Yichen. They thought this was a peaceful talk for reunion, but in a flash, the swords were facing each other. What was wrong with it?
"What happened? Why did Admiral Chen suddenly fight with the King of Shaw Ping?"
"Why are there so many ambushers in the mansion? Is it because the King of Shattering was prepared for the King?"
"Even Boss Ye draws his sword, it seems that the situation is indeed critical!"
"What should we do? Should we save Admiral Chen or help the King to flatten him?"
The soldiers of the rebel army were talking about it in various ways, and at the same time they were deeply confused. They didn't know what they should do.
One side is loyalty, the other side is righteousness, and it is also a choice that is hard to be loyal and righteous!
"Deng Maoqi, are you really planning to betray your faith?"
Ye Zongliu roared. During this period, he always adopted an appeasement strategy for Deng Maoqi's expansion and ambitions, and even had the idea of taking the initiative to retreat.
It is okay to seize power, but Ye Zongliu doesn’t care, but if Deng Maoqi wants Chen Yichen’s life, then he will never agree to death!
In the face of Ye Zongliu's questioning, Deng Maoqi looked solemn and did not answer.
He didn't want Chen Yichen's life, but the situation forced him to take action, otherwise he would have to take his own life.
"If you want to betrayal, Boss Ye, you help the court officials and take my elder brother's life. Do you still remember the friendship of living and dying after the uprising?"
Deng Maoba also refuted angrily. If Ye Zongliu and Jiang Fucheng had not betrayed the rebel army and recruited peace, they would not have reached this point!
"I can save my life for the sake of 100,000 rebel brothers. Why can't you Deng Maoqi!"
Ye Zongliu, who had always been calm, finally broke out at this moment.
He always believed that Deng Maoqi had not forgotten his original intention and led the people to revolt to find a way out for his brothers who followed him. He was a righteous man.
Now the way to survive is right in front of you, but for the sake of power and ambition, Deng Maoqi chose a dead end to continue to confront the court.
Chen Yichen died, and there will be no more mercy on the Fujian rebel army and the people in the world. The land of Fujian will be retaliated against the imperial court in the future. At that time, there will be many white bones and corpses and blood. Is this the reward for the rebel brothers living and dying together?
"The eldest brother has never been defeated after the uprising. Without Chen Yichen, he can also fight for a bloody path, and we will not lose!"
Deng Maoba stared at his blood-red eyes. He was completely overwhelmed by anger and could not think rationally.
Faced with this precarious situation, Chen Yichen remained calm. He looked at Deng Maoqi in front of him and said, "Captain Deng, if I can't leave Quanzhou City today, the 100,000 rebels and their families will not be able to leave Quanzhou Prefecture."
"This is not a threat, it is the status quo."
"For the sake of hundreds of thousands of subordinates who have lived and died with you, and for the sake of hundreds of thousands of parents, wife and children who have been implicated, stop."
The 100,000 rebels were already mixed with half of the mob, and the most elite 5,000 miners and Lu Ding had been taken under Chen Yichen and became officers and soldiers of the Fujian Navy.
The remaining miner Lu Ding, as Jiang Fucheng was placed under house arrest, he and Ye Zong died. You can imagine how their morale was.
