Chapter 235 Yunhua and Zhu Gui

It’s a bit sad to say, but Yunhua’s motivation to leave his hometown was really that bowl of greasy fried pork with cowpea.

After leaving his hometown, he trekked for more than a month. Although the work of pulling the boat was hard, he could have enough food to eat, earned money, and even had meat every time he passed through a town.

So when Lao Nian advised Yunhua to go back, Yunhua refused without hesitation. Even though he knew that he would not serve the court this time, Yunhua chose to move forward without hesitation.

The imperial court itself is not a good thing. Corrupt officials only bully people. In Yunhua's opinion, it is okay not to work for the imperial court. It would be even better if you go against the imperial court.

So when Yunhua arrived at Fobao, when Chen Gu was torturing the White Lotus Sect members in Fobao, Yunhua was the first to stand up and carried out Chen Gu's orders without reservation.

Firstly, the White Lotus Sect was not a good group of people. Secondly, Yunhua knew that all the silver and meat were brought to him by Chen Gu, who was also the leader of Lao Nian. Only by following Chen Gu closely could he have endless meat to eat and endless silver to spend.

Moreover, Chen Gu was a generous man, willing to give his subordinates silver and meat. He had never heard of anyone traveling thousands of miles to send silver and meat to the families of his subordinates.

But Chen Gu did it. It took more than a month to travel from Yichang to Chongqing, but Chen Gu still sent people to deliver silver and meat to the families of his subordinates.

If people like this are not worth following, then who should we follow?
So after that, Yunhua worked hard to complete every task assigned to him by Chen Gu. When Chen Gu formed a special company to train soldiers, he trained hard. When Chen Gu said that only by studying can one have a future, he studied hard.

During the time in the Buddhist treasure, training and studying became Yunhua's instincts. He could run over mountains and across rivers while recalling the words he had learned in his mind.

Hard work pays off. In three months, Yunhua not only completed military training such as physical fitness and shooting, but was also able to cope with simple daily reading and writing. After that, as the leader of the main combat force, he never relaxed his training and studying, and completed all the tasks assigned to him by Chen Gu with excellent performance.

Then, as a person who joined the mountain stronghold later, he became a general leading an army outside, and was in charge of the main attack direction in Hubei, and became an absolute top figure in the Huaxia Department.

Yunhua has indeed worked hard over the past six months, but it was all worth it. The visiting card sent by the Prince's Tutor in his hand is proof of this.

"Then please invite the Prince's Tutor of the Qing Dynasty to come and have a chat, and tell him that he can come anytime, and Yunhua is always waiting for him." Yunhua said to the person who came to deliver the visiting card.

Two hours later, Yunhua met Zhu Gui, a tall old man with a dignified appearance. He looked very good. The Huaxia Department did not care about this. Civil servants were better, after all, they were from wealthy families. Not only were they good-looking, but the pampered environment also made them have a graceful demeanor in their every move.

The military generals are not good to look at. From Chen Guai onwards, there are few good looking ones. Their every move reveals a sense of vulgarity.

Thinking of this, Yunhua couldn't help but laugh at himself. We were all born into this world, but so what?

It is not a place where he can rule for life yet, and Yunhua has defeated the imperial court without any chance of fighting back. As long as the leader is willing, he is confident that he can reach the capital and dethrone Jiaqing within a year.

"I am the Grand Secretary of the Ti-Ren Pavilion, acting in charge of the Ministry of Works, and also the title of Prince Taifu. Zhu Gui, what is your title, General?" After the two met, Zhu Gui bowed to Yun Hua and said.

"You don't know who I am?" Yun Hua raised his eyebrows strangely, then smiled and said, "Well, maybe this is your style of doing things, but we in the Huaxia Department are not used to it. If you come to see me, just say whatever you want to say."

Yun Hua's straightforwardness made Zhu Gui frown. He despised Yun Hua's vulgarity, not even knowing how to flatter each other. However, thinking about his own calculations, he calmed down and said, "General Yun is invincible and has been invincible since he left Sichuan. He is truly a rare talent!"

Yunhua nodded and said with a smile: "Very good, you are worthy of being the Prince's tutor. I like to hear you talk. Continue!"

Zhu Gui was almost angry to death. You took my random compliments seriously, but what do you mean by letting me continue?
"What a pity!" Zhu Gui sighed, and then continued: "Although the general is extremely talented, he has no choice but to follow the enemy. Why not serve the court?
If the general is willing to turn from evil to good, his wife and children will surely be granted titles, and it will not be a problem for him to be granted a title of nobility or become a prime minister in the future. You must know that the imperial court is the orthodox one, and only by serving the imperial court can you bring honor to your family!

If the general is willing to serve the court, I will guarantee him!"

"That's it?" Yun Hua couldn't help but laugh and asked, "Your forehead is so bright, can you tell me why people's hair and skin are given by their parents and they dare not damage them?

I heard that the emperor's close ministers usually call themselves slaves. I wonder what you call yourself in front of the emperor?"

"You~!" Zhu Gui couldn't help but get angry. Who was his status? He thought that coming to persuade Yun Hua to surrender was already a lowering of his status, but he didn't expect that he would be humiliated by Yun Hua.

"You can't stand this?" Yun Hua couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said with a smile: "You are just a slave of a fallen country. What qualifications do you have to come and bark in front of me?"

"How dare you, Shuzi!?"

"Do you want to die?"

Yunhua stared at Zhu Gui with a fierce look on his face, which made Zhu Gui calm down instantly.

"You old man who can't even figure out the basic situation, can't you see that I am the butcher and you are the meat?" Chen Gu smiled disdainfully and said, "Go away. I won't kill you, not because I am afraid of you, but because I am too lazy to kill you.

I am a soldier, I have my own pride, when we conquer Beijing, I will chop off your head, just like the leader chopped off Delantai's head.

Zhu Gui was furious, but since this was in the enemy's camp after all, he couldn't lose his temper. He could only flick his sleeves and turn away.

"Pass the order, in a quarter of an hour, the Tongan warships will fire at Jingzhou city. Just fire ten times!" Yunhua ordered.

“BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM~!”

Just as Zhu Gui returned to Jingzhou City, the artillery bombardment from the Tongan battlefield arrived. There was no fixed target, just to fire shells into the city. They used hollow bombs. After ten shells hit the city, ten violent explosions were heard.

Just then, a shell landed not far from Zhu Gui. Although it did not affect Zhu Gui, the strong explosion, the scene of collapsed walls and houses after the explosion, and the screams of the injured still scared Zhu Gui half to death.

Zhu Gui was just a scholar and had never experienced a war in his life. Although he had heard a lot about it, being on the battlefield was a completely different feeling.
