4 At the beginning of troubled times

The town in the connecting village is called Furong Town, because there used to be a large sea of hibiscus flowers here, so it was named.Now although this hibiscus flower land is far less than before, but its reputation will not be changed because of this. Recently, the hunters who went to Furong Town to sell their prey reported that there was a plague in the nearby big city of California, and many people died. Therefore, the whole city is completely closed, and this city is the capital of the county, and it is also the political, cultural and military center, so it is natural that it is also the center of grain storage. Due to the outbreak of the plague, this large amount of food was basically scrapped, in short, whoever dared to eat it again was only a dead end. In the past few hundred years, due to the increasingly serious corruption in the court, and the people's profit-grabbing incidents have emerged one after another, so a large number of public grievances and grievances have been backlogged. No matter how good the national policy is, it is very good to really implement it without reversing it, and it is a dream to want to implement it.

This is when the evil side of religious forces is exposed, and in times of peace, the rulers need some religious forces to anesthetize and fool the people, but in times of turmoil/turmoil, these forces often become the vanguard of the overthrow of the central power. The leader of a religious organization calling himself Wong Tai Sin took advantage of the situation and tried to establish a new regime. Later, it was called the Yellow Turban Rebellion by the world. It is said that this person can call the wind and rain and scatter beans into soldiers, so many believers have followed his orders. Various droughts, floods, forest fires and other disasters have occurred in various places, which is fearful that the situation has been worsened. Where there is no famine, they have to allocate funds for relief, which is why food has skyrocketed some time ago. The above is the information that a hunter heard and added some subjective analysis, due to the limited level of education, it is unknown how much of the original version of the information is returned.

Su Qicai doesn't really care about the current trend, he has never had the determination and endurance to be a savior, as a poor ghost in the previous life, it is a gift from God to be able to support himself and manage himself, where can other things be taken into account. When you are terminally ill, even if you can save yourself, your vitality will be greatly damaged, and corruption is an inevitable disease in society, because society is composed of people, and the essence of human greed remains unchanged, and this virus of society will always wait for the opportunity to break out repeatedly. The demise of a dynasty always conforms to a specific objective law, that is, it is a matter of data that integrates various factors, that is, it is a matter of data that integrates various factors. Su Qi didn't know much about the world he was in, so he didn't dare to assert how the situation would evolve in the future. But history always has its similarities. That's true.

Su Qi put these thoughts behind him, and what he was most concerned about now was how to save money. However, if the situation is chaotic, although he is not afraid of going out to travel far away, he is always in trouble, so in order not to affect his cultivation, he still continues to go to the corner in order to be quiet.

A month later, Orion went to the town of Furong, the town has been in turmoil, there is a constant influx of refugees who have taken refuge in various places, due to the non-rise in food prices, many people in order to survive, there are many people who sell gold and silver jewelry, and the phenomenon of selling children and daughters has also begun to appear. As long as someone stands up and agitates the hungry, it is easy to become a mob. The town of Seremban is now full of extremely unstable factors, and game buyers are afraid to open their doors anymore. The income of Su Qi's group was temporarily cut off. One of the hunters hesitated for a moment and asked Su Qi what to do next, and Su Qi replied with a smile: "Everything is as usual, but if we can't finish the game, we will wax it up as reserve food, whether it is for ourselves to eat or exchange for things in the future." In the year of famine, food is human life, so if you control food, you will also control your own life and the lives of others.

However, the situation has developed so far, it seems that the day of the invasion of the Yellow Turban Army is not far away, according to the information from official channels, the reputation of these chaotic gangsters is very bad, Su Qizhen is not afraid when he guards the township, he is afraid that when he goes out hunting, the old nest at home will let people take a pot away, so he takes out a person to go to the town every day to inquire about the news. Some large fireworks were also bought, and the children of the hunters were called to serve as sentinels and light fireworks as a signal in case of emergency.

Everything has been calm for half a month, and Lao Zhang, who is in charge of going to the town to inquire about the news, has not brought back much useful information. It's just that he knows that there are fewer hungry people on the move, so he should have gone somewhere else, and Su Qi also relied on his high art and boldness, so he didn't analyze this information in detail. As a result, an accurate judgment of the battle situation was missed. On this day, Lao Zhang went to the town as usual, but he still didn't hear much valuable news, and when he was bored, he passed by a compound that did a leather and meat business, and was hooked off by the woman inside. Men, with a little money, it is always inevitable to be lustful, in fact, he has already passed by here intentionally or unintentionally, and he has stepped on it many times, but he has not dared to act because he has no lust and no courage. Once the flame was lit, it was even more difficult to extinguish it, so they went in and fooled around.

The guests ordered food and drinks with a commission, so the prostitute girl tried her best to make him drink a lot of wine, and when she was happy, she got drunk, and fell asleep in a daze after doing so. When I came out, I found that the atmosphere in the town was a little wrong. It turned out that the Yellow Turban Army had been opened to ten miles away, so the general defending the city ordered to close the city gate, and those who did not have a token were not allowed to enter or exit. But he began to worry about being affected by the war, and he became worried again.

Because the war was imminent, the ban was naturally imposed in the city, and the local residents were ordered to go back to their homes, and the migrants from other places were naturally gathered for interrogation to rule out the possibility that they were spies. Where has Lao Zhang seen this kind of formation, and even coaxed and frightened and said that he was specifically responsible for finding out the news, this time the interrogation officers and soldiers were happy, thinking that they had caught a big fish, so they focused on interrogation, and the way of interrogation was also very simple, that is, the leather whip and the red-hot iron were burned on the body... Generally speaking, as long as the suspect is willing to tell the truth, it can be stopped, and the so-called truth standard is, of course, a confession that satisfies the interrogator.

After the Yellow Turban army repaired and continued to march, the leading general Chen Yourong observed the enemy situation, and saw that the city wall of Furong Town was tall and strong, and the defenders were neat and well-organized, and the troops were sufficient, so he knew that it was a difficult hard bone to bite, combined with the information obtained by the spies before, he knew that this city should be difficult to capture for a while. And his own troops and horses are all lightly armed, and the food they bring is extremely limited, and the risk of attacking the city is too great. It is better to wait for the siege equipment to catch up before making a decision. So he ordered several forces to go to the villages to snatch the grain.

In the evening, hundreds of cavalry entered Su Qi's village, and because they came too quickly, the children in charge of the sentry did not have time to send out the fireworks signal, of course, even if they did, it was too late. The Yellow Turbans began to loot property and food, and a group of five was responsible for looting a household, which seemed to be very familiar and efficient, and it was certainly not the first time they had done such a thing. Originally, they planned to attack the landlord's mansion first, but the defense there was so deep that they couldn't take it for a while, so they started with ordinary villagers. After that, focus on taking it down in one fell swoop. First easy and then difficult, well versed in the art of war.

Robbing people's property and burning people's real estate are the usual methods used by the Yellow Turban Army. The strategic policy comes from Zuo Qing's hand. Wong Tai Sin proclaimed himself the Emperor of the Yellow Heavens, and he had two powerful strategists, Dong Ming, who pursued the way of sunshine and would take the overall situation into account every time he made a plan. The conspirator Zuo Qing pursues an insidious way, unscrupulous means to achieve the goal, and only seeks partial interests, but it is often easy to achieve results. The two are collectively known as the Yin and Yang Duoshi. In the strategy of looting and destroying houses, Emperor Huang Tian ignored Dong Ming's strong opposition and listened to Zuo Qing's strategy. The disadvantage of this strategy is that it can create refugees in Dali, so that these refugees can spontaneously carry out a destructive impact on other regions, so as to achieve the effect of surrendering without a fight. And the banner raised by Emperor Huangtian "Eliminate the rich and the poor, equalize the land" was written by Dong Ming, so it had the effect of responding to it from the beginning. Later, Zuo Qing proposed measures contrary to this avenue, such as using the power of religion to expand the influence of the Yellow Emperor, and later deliberately burned down the properties of civilians to create a large number of refugees. Dong Ming tried his best to oppose it to no avail, and he was completely disappointed in Wong Tai Sin. Dong Ming is an idealist, and he realizes that Huang Daxian is unlikely to be the candidate to accomplish this ideal with him, and he has a retreat in his heart. He understood that although the Yellow Turban Army seemed to be getting stronger and stronger on the surface, its military discipline was sloppy, the people's morale was noisy, and it was only in a year of great calamity that it was able to win one after another, and as long as the central government came to its senses, the Yellow Turban Army was doomed to collapse.

The concept did not agree, and later Dong Ming almost no longer made suggestions in the court of the puppet regime, and only waited for the opportunity to find another way out after fading out of people's sight.
