Chapter 55: The Hundred Thousand Sects of the Beggars
Sure enough, it came! Mai Ke's heart flashed like lightning and thunder, and he instantly understood the intentions of the government. Using the city's execution ground to kill people as bait, the rescued comrades were confused and fell into the trap they had set in advance.
With my Mai Ke here, and my three brothers fighting side by side, how can I let you get your wish!
At this time, the three people who were sleeping in the house also got up, and when they heard the shouts outside, they suddenly lost their minds. It seems that all the rescue efforts were in vain. If the outside can't get in, and the prison robbery inside fails, can they still rob the execution ground?
Of the three, the most panicked was Huang Yishi, and the most stable was Wei Changhui, who had a blind belief that bordered on worship of Mai Ke. Huang asked Mak how to deal with it now.
"Robbery!" Mai Ke replied to him decisively.
And then he divided the work among these people. First of all, he asked Huang if he could bypass the ambush of the officers and soldiers outside the city, go to meet the charcoal burners, and tell them about the situation in the city.
Then they will be in battle for them, and no matter what happens, they must hold their ground and deal with the enemy. Persistence in this robbery is victory.
Huang replied that he was familiar with that section of the road, and it was more certain to bypass the ambush of the officers and soldiers. Then he brought a little breakfast prepared by Qin Richang and left in a hurry.
Mai Ke then instructed Wei Changhui and Qin Richang to follow the three of them, and if they did anything, they would sue them when the time came. A few people dressed up a little, and then walked out of the courtyard gate and came to the street.
It was about four or five miles away from the execution ground, and Mai Ke and the others walked over with the crowd. At this time, there is not much farm work to do, everyone is relatively leisurely, walking is not in a hurry, and chatting while walking.
A stout man walking in front of the crowd was talking about his feelings in an open voice, "What kind of chaotic party, it's not against the rule of the Manchus? How many Han people have they killed since these people entered the customs? This is just one more." Hate I don't have a murder knife in my hand......"
A capable young man next to him went up and slapped him, and scolded with a smile: "Shut up, Qin Qi! Do you also want to cut off your skull with this person named Feng or something today?"
The stout man slapped his hand back, and the latter hit him and almost fell, shouting in pain: "You rammer, why is it not light or heavy, my arm is about to be broken by you!"
Qin Qi smiled innocently, "Chen Er, I don't have any energy at all." Otherwise, it's not your arm that will be broken. Besides, who told you to curse me to cut off my skull? Just these scumbags, not to mention that they are not opponents in a fight, I just don't do it, let them chase, and they will never be able to catch up with me!"
Chen Er also smiled and continued, "That's true, who doesn't know that your nickname is 'Ma Tou Qi', and even the fast horse is a head slower than you, let alone these Qing soldiers." However, don't forget, the Qing soldiers are not good, and the Manchu court has raised many eagles and dogs. Many of them are masters of martial arts, and they are outstanding. You're terrible when you meet them. ”
"Then I'm not afraid! If you can't run, you'll fight. The head fell off, but the bowl was a big scar. Seventy or twenty years later, I will be a good man again, and I will continue to fight with them. ”
The two of them were the main talkers, and everyone else listened to their nonsense, and from time to time there were echoed cheers.
I climbed up and shouted, is it really a gathering of followers? At least these two rebellious guys next to me are very likely. Mai Ke pondered in his heart while listening to the casual nonsense of the crowd.
In the county yazheng hall, Jia Zhucai, the magistrate of the county, and Mr. Jia, the general of Wang, got together again. The leader of the guards who protected Jia Zhi County was also present.
It turned out that this person was none other than Wang Zuoxin, the leader of the regimental training. The two brothers have looked for the persecution of Feng Yunshan many times. Both brothers are very hateful of worshipping God, and they are on the same standpoint. The difference is that the elder brother is outstanding in literature, and the younger brother is good at martial arts.
At breakfast, Jia Zhixian mentioned yì again, saying that since Feng Yunshan was going to fish, no one cared whether this bait was alive or dead, so it was better to kill him first, and then make a bag mark, which could still attract the chaotic party.
Mr. Jia, who was in charge, pondered for a long time, but still did not agree. said that if there were any spies in the government that were in trouble, if the other party knew that the bait was a dead person who had lost its value, there was a chance that he would immediately turn around and run away, and would not bite the hook again. What we're doing now is to make them jump into the fire pit knowing it's a fire pit.
Unless they don't want to rescue their big boss. And without the big leaders, there is not much room for their chaotic party to toss.
Since they couldn't kill it now, everyone had to find a way to do it as best as possible. The most worried is still Jia Zhixian, because yesterday he saw Mai Ke's invincibility. Without the protection of the prison, would the execution of the prisoners be carried out smoothly? More importantly, would those people be rescued as predetermined? He basically lost confidence in his own ingenuity.
At this time, the captain of his guard, that is, Wang Dazuo, came over with his ears and offered a plan. It is estimated that it is a good plan, because the sadness on Jia Zhixian's face gradually faded, and he couldn't stop nodding.
Seeing Mr. Jia's dissatisfied eyes floating over, Jia Zhixian hurriedly straightened his posture and apologized for Wang Dazuo first, saying that he was worried that he had no official position, and he was too light-hearted to speak in front of everyone, so he sued him in private.
Then, he told everyone about Wang Dazuo's strategy. It turned out that last night, his 100,000 sects, according to his request, specially sent the head of the beggar's academy to lead one hundred and eight beggars to support.
The headquarters of these 100,000 sects is in the 100,000 mountains in the southwest of Guangxi. There has always been a group of heroes standing side by side, there are many martial arts sects, and it is even more difficult to distinguish between good and evil. Most of them are turned a blind eye to them. It was not until the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs and occupied the Central Plains that the situation changed fundamentally.
It turned out that Dolgon had an illegitimate son, and he could not tolerate his sister-in-law and his mother, so he ran away from home and went to the southwestern border of China, and took a fancy to the majestic atmosphere of the 100,000 mountains, and took root here.
The first thing to do after taking root was to unify the forces of the 100,000 mountains and turn the division of the heroes into a unified country. Of course, the thieves who had always been kings of the mountains did not listen to him, and the result was a big fight.
The heroes all thought they were very powerful, and they were all-for-tat at first. There is a fight, but they are defeated. It turned out that the leader of the Eastern Artemisia, who was known to everyone, had brought two-thirds of Dolgon's royal palace guards, and each of these people was a carefully selected master of various tribes.
Dolgon served as regent for many years, and single-handedly controlled the military and political power of the entire Manchu Qing Dynasty. In this way, his royal palace guard has become the most powerful in the country, even higher than the yellow guards of Ouchi.
Two-thirds of the royal palace guards numbered six hundred, and a black-clothed guard would solve the problem by sending a black-clothed guard to deal with a hilltop sect. It didn't take long for the Black Guards to become a nightmare for all sects.
The 600 people were divided into six teams, each team had a captain, and the captain wore red clothes, which was even more strong in martial arts and loyal to Donghao.
This Artemisia annua is also extraordinary. His biological mother was actually the maid of Dolgon's youngest concubine, a Korean. Originally, Dolgon relied on the power of the regent, and the daughter of the prince of Nakon was very opposed to being a side concubine, and the illegitimate son of this side concubine's maid was even more unacceptable, although Dolgon had no biological son, and the only daughter was also born to this side concubine, whose name was Dongor. It's no wonder that this bastard is called Donghao.
The humility of his life background and the tilting of the royal family have made him develop a deep and ruthless character, and Prince Dolgonrui's wise words are not called in vain. Not only did he inherit his father's wisdom, but he was even better at attracting people. Therefore, after the initial iron-fisted merger, he quickly sorted out this plate of scattered sand into an iron plate.
One of his biggest organizational changes was the establishment of two hospitals. One of the courtyards was called the Begren's Courtyard, and it was filled with people who had been screened by him personally. The standard is to have cultural literacy and good conduct.
The other is called the Beggar's Courtyard, and those who do not meet the conditions of the Begren's House naturally belong to this courtyard. Just after the incorporation, there were not many people in the beggar's house, mainly the six hundred guards.
Later, a rule was formed to absorb members from the landlord families in nearby states and counties. However, it is stipulated that the eldest son will not be accepted, because he has entered 100,000 sects and will not rebel in his life. You can go out and take on employment such as fat protection, and you can't leave the denomination's dispatch and do what you want.
Not betraying one's religion in one's life is a very absolute rule, and no one has ever violated it. What if there is a traitor? Then enforce sectarian discipline and end his life. So the eldest sons of those families wanted to come in to learn martial arts, and then go back to be parents after they finished learning, but there was no door at that time.
I want to go back, but I leave my head behind. So don't die for you, and I don't want to bother. Let the firstborn not come.
Since the requirements are so strict, are there still people who want to join? There are too many people who want to join. Because the benefits of becoming a member of the House are very attractive, both for individuals and for families. Once he joins the 100,000 Sect, not only will he be able to learn his favorite martial arts, but his entire family will be placed under the protection of the 100,000 Sect.
The protection of the 100,000 sects is very powerful, and basically no one dares to cause trouble with them. Over time, such a folk song has been widely spread in a radius of 800 miles from 100,000 mountains: "Rather provoke the county, don't mess with 100,000".
The suzerain of the 100,000 sects has always been the descendant of Donghao. In order to integrate into the surrounding Han people and Han culture, he simply took Dong as his surname and intermarried with the Han people, and over the past hundred years, the blood of his descendants, the Korean and Manchu people, has become thinner and thinner, and now there is less than a tenth left.
The current sect leader is eloquent and talented, and his name is Dongfang Xiao. Taking advantage of the corruption and lax jurisdiction of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, they walked out of the 100,000 mountains, and their power has developed from the southwest of Guangxi to the northwest and northeast of Guangxi, and even entered the east and west of Guangxi.
The relationship between this 100,000 sect and the Manchu Qing has always been very delicate. Although Donghao defected from the palace, he was not completely cut off from the palace from his heart. Therefore, he will never oppose the Qing Dynasty. More often than not, he had the heart and sometimes exercise, helping the Manchu government. For example, this time they came to help Jia Zhi County. The envoys sent their young disciple, Wang Dazuo. As soon as he heard that the trouble was too big, he immediately sent the strongest team led by the director of the Beggar's Academy to come to support.
These two generals, General Wang and Mr. Jia, who had come from the governor's line, were very excited when they heard that there were one hundred orders and eight servants. 丄人,That's the same as the storage zài of the master of Ouchi.。 Wang Dazuo, he is also a beggar, but his qualifications are far worse than those one hundred and eight.
Mr. Jia hurriedly asked where these people were. Wang Dazuo told them to be in the backyard. Then he led these three fans to meet them.
As soon as he stepped into the backyard, a murderous aura rushed towards him. I saw a group of black-clothed men standing in the courtyard, without a sound. A man in red and a man dressed in ochre stood nearby.
When Wang Dazuo came in, the man in ochre red clothes said to him in a cold voice, "Is everything arranged? Why did you wait so long?"
