Chapter 91: Guo Zixing's Haozhou Uprising

When Ma Xiuying eagerly hoped that Guo Zixing's uprising would succeed in taking them back, Guo Zixing's side had not been idle. www.biquge.info He originally gathered hundreds of heroes to follow him in Dingyuan, and he was even more comfortable developing rebel forces in the provincial capital of Haozhou.

It really responds to the old saying "when the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds", and when the provincial city is big, everyone has it. There are countless splashes and idlers in Haozhou City, and when they heard that a rich man who was fighting for righteousness and squandering money was ready to take the lead in rebellion, these people immediately responded to take refuge.

The team is getting bigger and bigger, and by the eleventh year of Zhizheng, Guo Zixing's people have thousands of people, and it is difficult to manage too many people, so he let Sun Deya, Wu Tong, Lu Tianshou, and Han Zhong be the second leader, the third leader, the fourth leader, and the fifth leader......

In this year, the Yellow River flooded, and the victims were as many as hundreds of thousands, and in order to prevent the people from being idle and bored and launching riots, the Yuan court sent 20,000 troops to supervise 150,000 migrant workers from all over the country to control the Yellow River breach, which brought greater disasters to the poor people. When they arrived at the construction site, they not only had to bear heavy labor and supervise the beatings and scolding of the officers and soldiers, but they also did not have enough to eat, and their food rations were deducted, and they all accumulated a sense of resentment in their chests.

Han Shantong, the leader of the White Lotus Sect, and his disciple Liu Futong and others took full advantage of the discontent of the migrant workers and intensively planned the uprising. On the one hand, they sent people everywhere to propagate the news of the "birth of Maitreya Buddha" and "the birth of King Ming", and on the other hand, they imitated the practice of peasant uprisings in previous dynasties and created proverbs. They secretly chiseled a one-eyed stone man, engraved on the back of the stone man "one eye of the stone man of the zodiac, this thing is out of the world anti" 14 big characters, buried it on the Huanglinggang river that is about to be excavated, and at the same time asked people to spread the folk song of "one eye of the stone man, instigating the world to rebel against the Yellow River".

In late April, the weather was still cold, and the Yellow River roared day and night, rolling waves, surging and surging, the river seemed to be boiling, and there were foam and spray everywhere, and even human or animal carcasses drifting downstream.

Hungry and cold migrant workers were digging the Huanglinggang River in the vast mist, and I don't know who shouted and dug out a stone man from the river beach. Everyone gathered curiously to take a look, only to see that there was one eye on the stone man's face, and they couldn't help but be stunned. This new thing soon spread among the 150,000 migrant workers, and everyone couldn't help but think of the previous ballad, and said that the folk song had really come true, and since the stone people had come out, the day of rebellion in the world should have come.

"Mo Dao Shiren has one eye, instigating the Yellow River to rebel against the world!"

Han Shantong and Liu Futong, the two leaders of the White Lotus Sect who were not highly educated and scheming, immediately raised their arms and shouted in Yingzhou, claiming that the world was about to be in turmoil, and called on the Han people to respond to the uprising and resist the Yuan and Song Dynasty.

Han Shantong also made up the identity of the eighth grandson of Song Huizong. Although this identity is too fake - it is estimated that Zhao Kuangyin will not be at peace underground: Why did my Zhao family have a grandson of the Han family? But the people don't care, they need a spiritual leader to lead them to overthrow the mountain of the Yuan court regime that oppresses them. The news of the uprising spread, and the hearts of the people in the north and south of the river fluctuated, and the 150,000 peasants who repaired the Yellow River threw themselves into the anti-Yuan armed uprising.

The surging Yellow River continued endlessly, and finally broke through a big gap in the embankment of the Yuan Dynasty regime.

It's a pity that where there are people, there are Han people, and where there are Han people, there are traitors. Just as the White Lotus cultists and migrant workers gathered together to swear an uprising, the news of the Yellow River Uprising leaked, and the Yuan court suddenly sent a large number of officers and soldiers to Bailuzhuang to suppress it.

I don't know if Han Shantong, the leader of the White Lotus Sect, regretted blowing the mana of the childless old mother too much, the White Lotus disciples and the rebellious peasants at that time thought that he was the true dragon emperor, protected by the lifeless old mother, and had the incorruptible body of King Kong, and forgot to take him with him when he ran away. As a result, the "eighth grandson of Song Huizong" was honorably captured, and then brutally killed, leaving only Liu Futong and his son Han Lin'er to flee to Wu'an Mountain to hide.

Liu Futong didn't know if it was to fulfill the last wish of the leader Han Shantong or if he was a ruthless character, he went back to take a breath and immediately made a comeback, led the people to revolt, wrapped his head in a red scarf, and established a red turban army.

Under the influence of the uprisings of Han Shantong and Liu Futong, anti-Yuan struggles broke out in many places in the north and south of the river, and the Yuan court began to taste the painful taste of "ants bite to death elephants".

In the twelfth year of Zhizheng, that is, the second year of Han Shantong and Liu Futong's uprising, a hidden farm outside Haozhou City was crowded with young men with weapons.

This is the uprising base established by Guo Zixing in Haozhou, at this time thousands of people have gathered in Zhuangzi, hundreds of knives and guns have been prepared, and there are countless sickles and hoes...... It can be said that everything is ready and only the east wind is owed, and the uprising of the Yellow River migrant workers is this timely east wind.

Sun Deya, Wu Tong, Lu Tianshou, and Han Zhong, who figured out Guo Zixing's intentions, knelt on the ground and said in unison: "Big brother, Ming King Han Shantong and Liu Futong are all opposed, let's also rebel." ”

The surrounding men all tapped their weapons excitedly and shouted, "It's reversed!"

Guo Zixing's cheeks twitched, very excited, the goal he had been planning for a long time was finally about to be realized. But there was an expression of righteous indignation on his face, waving his hands, and making a generous statement, "Now the faint king is in the court, the traitors are out of politics, the officials are cruel and greedy, and the discipline is decadent. Since I and the others are Han people, they should assist the Ming King to recapture the Zhao family and restore the Song Dynasty. Are you willing to fight with me vigorously, drive the Tartars out of Saibei, and return us to the Han world?"

"Willing! Willing! Do a big job! Drive the Tartars out of Saibei and return the world to my Han people!" The earth trembled, and the shouts of thousands of people soared into the sky, as if to tear this heavy black curtain to shreds.

"Deya, inform the brothers in the city, there will be an incident at three o'clock tonight!" Guo Zixing gave the order of uprising with great ambition, he tied a red and bright cloth towel on his head, and looked into the distance: Haozhou, you will be me soon!

"Subordinates obey orders!" Sun Deya replied in a high-pitched voice, and he also took out the red scarf that he had prepared a long time ago and tied it on his head.

This action seemed to be contagious, and everyone invariably tied a red scarf on their heads. The red was like a burning flame, and like a dazzling blood, surging in the hearts of everyone.

The sky was as thick as ink, and not even a crescent moon or a trace of starlight appeared. The branches of the trees were swayed by the wind, like ghosts dancing with strange tentacles, and the grasshoppers lurking in the grass screamed bleakly and desolately, as if to foreshadow an unquiet night.

Suddenly, a pair of big feet fell into the air, and the poor gnats were trampled into powder before they could finish screaming. Some of the grasshoppers who were lucky enough to escape quickly silenced and hid far away, silently watching these men with red scarves tied on their heads, knives, guns or hoes and sickles in their hands, and fierce and hideous expressions rushing towards Haozhou City.

The gate of Haozhou City had been closed, and the soldiers defending the city were hiding in the corner tower with their weapons and napping, when suddenly several black shadows approached quickly with torches. The soldiers defending the city shouted vigilantly: "Stop!

They were answered by a few glittering machetes, and the silver light slashed through them, and the soldiers were amazed to find out how their bodies and heads had been divided, but they could no longer ask this esoteric question, and their last impression rested on the dark shadows that rushed to the city gates.

The sound of "click, click" chains alarmed the soldiers on the pheasant moat, and as soon as they poked their heads out to ask about the situation, they were hit by random arrows and spears.

"Kill! Kill the Guangyuan people, kill the dog officials!" The tide of crowds squeezed the city gate that was not yet fully opened, and Guo Zixing's rebel army rushed into the city like locusts.

The unprepared Haozhou Taishou hurriedly gathered the army to meet the battle, but they were accustomed to being pampered and pampered, where could they resist the wolf-like Red Turban Army. Some of the Yuanren soldiers were cut to the ground without even lifting their pants, and many more soldiers were frightened by the ferocity of the Red Turban Army, and they didn't even think about suppressing the Red Turban Army, and turned around and ran away with valuable things, just wanting to escape as far as possible.

The people of Haozhou woke up in a burst of fire and screams, and they thought that it was the Yuan people who were brutally slaughtering the Han people, and they were all trembling with fright, hiding in their homes and not daring to move. But after waiting for a long time, just listening to the sound of fighting outside, but no Yuan people broke into the door, and a few bold people hid behind the crack in the door to secretly observe, and were suddenly surprised to find that all the people holding weapons outside were Han people, and these Han people shouted in their mouths: "Drive away the Tartars, Kuang Fu Song Room! Don't kill the people, only slaughter the dog officials!"

The people were excited, and no one wanted to be a fourth-class southerner, so the bold men immediately tore the red silk offered to the Buddha at home into strips of cloth and wrapped them around their heads, and heroically joined the Red Turban Army......

With the cooperation of the people, the number of the Red Turban Army instantly skyrocketed from thousands to tens of thousands......

At dawn, Haozhou City gradually returned to calm, and all the Yuan people who could escape fled, and the Yuan people who couldn't escape all entered the six reincarnations.

The people shed tears of joy, and the city finally belonged to the Han people again. The Red Turban Army led by Guo Zixing was enthusiastically supported by the people. The feelings of these people are very simple, even if there is only a bundle of vegetables and a few eggs, they are willing to contribute to the Red Turban Army, because the Red Turban Army is the son of the Han family, and the Red Turban Army is their own relatives, and they drove away the Yuan people who oppressed them.

Guo Zixing couldn't hide a smug smile on his face, he used to be rich, but because of the identity of the southerners, he still had to be despised by the Yuan people, and now he looked down on the Yuan people who knelt on the ground like ants and begged for mercy, and chopped all these Yuan people into meat sauce with an order, turning them into spring mud to protect flowers.

After the rebels occupied Haozhou, they began to reorganize their army, and Guo Zixing could no longer use the title of the former leader of the thieves, so he proclaimed himself generalissimo. It was his first taste of power, and he couldn't wait to share it with his family. So on the third day of the occupation of Haozhou, a group of light horsemen rushed out of the broken city gate and galloped towards Suzhou.
