"It's really unbelievable, I can't believe it. Tian' "Lai Novelｗｗ"
"Now I have to take the Australian test, and this is the test. Do you believe it or not? So what?"
"I have been studying the Four Books and Five Classics for so many years, but when the Australians came, it all came to nothing! If I want to get a name in the new dynasty, I have to become a Feng Fu again and start from scratch."
"So what if I passed the exam? Feng San, who lives next door to me, has been taking the boy's exam for more than 20 years. Every time he waits until the end of the exam, he goes home clutching his butt. The family is so poor that his wife has run away - this time he goes back to join the civil service I passed the exam. Now I am working as a copywriter at the tax bureau. I am busy from morning to night. I have to go to various places to collect taxes. I argue with the peasants for a few pennies. Although I am an official, I am just a petty official! "
"You don't understand this. The so-called fierce generals in the army, the government agencies start from the state and county. The Australians go one step further. They act as officials and officials. All officials start from small officials..."
"I didn't expect Brother Wang to be so familiar with Kun Qing!"
"Don't dare, don't dare. It is said that those who know the current affairs are heroes. Brother Zhou Xian, don't be clinging to the old. This word 'kun' is really insulting to the country. Brother Zhou, please don't say it again..."
Gao Lingda couldn't help but shook his head while listening to his classmates' discussion: "It's all nonsense!"
After the Australians entered the city, many scholars at first felt that their home country was changing rapidly, and they yearned for the Ming Dynasty. Some people also wrote poems and articles denounced the ambitions of the thieves. However, as the Australians wiped out the Guangdong officers and soldiers, the overall situation was decided. More and more people were burned by fame and fortune. I heard that there were few Australians under their command. student. I don’t know how many people have made up their minds. As long as Australians recruit virtuous people, they will refuse a few times and "endure humiliation and sacrifice their lives to serve as thieves." Some have already begun to camp out everywhere, looking for ways to find Australians. I don’t know when, Australian pseudo-study became popular among scholars. Gao Lingda felt heartbroken and happy.
In the past, everyone was sanctimonious and looked down upon their own people, but within a few days, they had forgotten their integrity and shame, their loyalty and filial piety, and the principles of king, king, minister, father, father and son. Anxious to seek glory and wealth from the seller - these are all people who have received favors from the imperial court and have achieved honors as birth attendants and birth supervisors!
Thinking of his current situation, Gao Lingda couldn't help but feel sad, and the table full of delicacies was bland.
After a hasty lunch, the boy packed up his food box and left. Gao Lingda had no intention of studying and wanted to go home. However, thinking of the situation at home, he was too lazy to go back.
There is only one wife in his family who has been with him for less than two years. In terms of background, she can barely be regarded as a scholarly family - the daughter of a poor private school teacher who has never been to school. Gao Tianshi's marriage to this family was naturally intended to "whitewash" his background. However, although the other party was so poor that he had no place to stand, he still felt that he had been greatly wronged by marrying his daughter over. Naturally, the daughter-in-law was unwilling to give up. Although she abided by the ways of a woman on weekdays, when it came to conjugal love, it was completely out of the question.
If classmates get married, they will remain inseparable at least for the first year of their marriage. Every time they have a break on the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, they rush home early and are often made fun of.
It's fun to make fun of, and the person involved is happy with it. Compared to himself, Gao Lingda couldn't help but feel discouraged.
While I was feeling depressed, there was a sudden commotion outside. Then there was a "ping ping" explosion, accompanied by a sharp whistle. The scholars in the study were stunned, this is the sound of Australian gunshots!
After the Australians entered the city, gunshots like this could be heard from time to time in and outside Guangzhou in the early months. But in recent months, as public security has gradually calmed down, such gunshots have rarely been heard.
Now a gunshot suddenly rang out, and the gunshots were so dense - listening to the sound, it seemed that it was not far away from here. Are the Australians "searching for bandits" again, or are the officers and soldiers suddenly fighting back? The scholars who were talking loudly suddenly fell silent, no one spoke, and there was a dead silence in the study.
The gunfire outside gradually became sparse, but the commotion outside became louder and louder. The dense footsteps on the street could be heard clearly even in the study room in the inner courtyard. Everyone was anxious when they suddenly saw a handyman coming in from the outer courtyard. Someone quickly stopped him and asked for news.
"The little ones don't know what happened. The Australians suddenly sent out many troops. Soldiers were stationed at every street and pedestrians were prohibited from passing."
"The Australians are stalking the whole city again?"
"I heard that it was. But I don't know who to arrest specifically. When I was at the door, I saw soldiers passing by on the street. Not only the police, but also the National Army...even the Japanese and Koreans came out..."
Everyone was talking about it. It had been a long time since such a city-wide manhunt had happened - who knew who could actually let the Australians use such great efforts to deal with it?
Although he was full of doubts, when Zhu Sheng heard that he was just searching the whole city, it was not the Ming Dynasty that was coming again, and the look on his face became much more relaxed - since ancient times, fighting in the war has been like being bandited, and Australians are an anomaly! If Ming officers and soldiers really fight back, it will be too late to escape.
As soon as the atmosphere relaxed, chatting began again in the study. Gao Lingda was bored by what he heard, but he could only endure it, and finally waited until it was getting late. When the servants said that the blockade outside had been lifted, he got up, packed up a little, and left the academy to return to the Golden Flower Temple.
Although the blockade has been lifted, there are still many police and national troops on the streets, and the blocking of horses at intersections has not been removed. Everyone looked solemn. The police batons and shields were not counted as the National Army's loaded guns and ammunition. The guns were also equipped with sharp blunderbuss and swords, which looked very cold. As for the Japanese pirates who worked hard for the Australians, they had double knives at their waists and ferocious iron masks on their faces, resembling evil spirits. Gao Lingda didn't dare to look too much and walked against the wall with his schoolbag under his arm.
There are few pedestrians on the street, and Gao Lingda is walking in a hurry. There were Australian clerks in twos and threes on the street, with tin buckets and long-handled brooms. It seems that some slogans and notices are being painted on the wall. This was not a rare thing in Guangzhou, and Gao Lingda had no intention of seeing it. I was walking silently when I suddenly heard a commotion on the street. He hurriedly hid aside, but saw a group of prisoners coming on the road: dozens of beggars in rags and knotted clothes, tied into a string with ropes, and escorted by soldiers with bayonets staggering past. Their faces looked confused and shocked, as if they still didn't understand what was going on. Some people had injuries on their bodies, which were wrapped in random ways, with blood oozing out from them. The policemen, armed with sticks, kept driving them away.
How is this going? Gao Lingda was secretly surprised. Since the riots in the Chaozhou Guild Hall, Gao Tianshi has ordered all the trade unions to "be careful not to offend the thieves." Therefore, all trade unions have restrained themselves and dare not do many businesses that they used to take for granted. After the eldest brother succeeded to the throne, his tail was tightened even more. Which Doukou are these people from, and what did they do to offend the Australians? Thinking of the sound of birdshot just now, he felt even more uneasy.
Gao Lingda was panicking when he suddenly saw that the Australians who were painting slogans on the wall in front of him had left, and the wall had already been covered with words in white ash. He looked up and saw the word "beggar". He was taken aback and hurried over to read it carefully.
Looking at it, it's like someone poured a bucket of snow water on it in Sanjiutian.
But I saw the title: Announcement on the forced admission of beggars and homeless people in Guangzhou Special City by Song Dynasty Australia
He felt his mind was buzzing, and he couldn't even make out a sentence of what was written below. Of course Gao Lingda knew what this announcement meant - in the six months since entering the city, the Australians have continued to squeeze the "living space" of the beggars, but due to the disparity in strength between the two sides, Gao Tianshi and Gao Lingxiang , they didn't dare to confront him head-on, they only dared to use some underhanded tricks secretly. Therefore, although there was a small amount of friction between the two sides, they were generally in peace. The Gao family and the big bones still have a glimmer of hope that they can survive like this for five or six years, and wait until the Ming Dynasty comes to regain Guangzhou before making any plans.
And this announcement is the Kun Thief's declaration of war against the people of Guandi Temple!
Gao Lingda felt cold all over and was stunned for a moment.
While I was still there, someone grabbed my arm. He was startled, and when he was about to question, he saw that the person had already dragged him to a side alley.
Gao Lingda took a closer look and saw that he didn't recognize the person coming. Judging from his dress, he was also a Confucian scholar.
"Why are you still wandering on the street!"
"Who are you?"
"It doesn't matter who I am," the visitor said urgently, "I've been looking for you for a long time!"
Gao Lingda was confused at this time, and he muttered: "The student and the teacher have never met..."
"You don't know me, but I know you." The Confucian scholar said, "You are the fifth son of Gao Tianshi, the daughter of Qi Yiniang, Gao Lingda!"
This time Gao Lingda was surprised. The other party knew so clearly that he must know himself. He tried hard to think about it, but he really couldn't remember who he was. Surprised, he just nodded.
"The thieves have destroyed the Golden Flower Temple!"
Gao Lingda's mind went "bang". No matter how he felt about this home, the Golden Flower Temple was after all the home he had lived in for nineteen years. It is his home where he can shelter from wind and rain.
At this moment, he felt cold all over and couldn't even speak. Australians have long been known for their vicious methods and decisive and cruel actions. After the Jinhua Temple was wiped out, the Gao family must be destroyed together - although he was quite slanderous towards his eldest brother, they were his relatives after all, not to mention there were several brothers and sisters in the family, as well as his own wife...
Thinking of this, his face turned pale and his body was already crumbling.
"Don't be afraid, your family members are fine!" The visitor probably knew what he was thinking, and said, "But you can't go back, you have to hide immediately - the Kun thief is arresting people by name, and none of the Gao family members have escaped. Don’t fall off.”
Gao Lingdal kept saying "yes" several times, but could not move his feet. He was frightened and desperate, so he hid, where? He has been studying since he was a child and has never been involved in the family's "business". His father also intentionally isolates him from the Guandi Temple people. In the past nineteen years, the only place he has known to go is the Golden Flower Temple, or the house of his poor father-in-law - it is hard to say whether this father-in-law will fall out of favor now!
