As the Japanese outside the city suddenly changed their ways, they sent a few bloody heads into Yangzhou City, which can be described as a stone that stirred up a thousand waves, and exploded in Yangzhou City in an instant. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

If it is said that the plague of the Japanese invaders in the past could not fight some coastal guards and some useless villagers. The Japanese are not very harmful to the family, so no matter the Jiangnan government and the gentry, they all shout and kill at the Japanese in their mouths, and they have never taken it seriously. Those who should provide goods to maritime merchants are still providing goods. It should be convenient for the Japanese to provide convenience. , the Japanese slaughtered the village, which was just convenient for the gentry to buy land and land. The things that were stolen by the Japanese would also be sold by a large number of gentry's shops.

If it is said that the untouchables in the countryside are not people, and the poor people are not people, then this time the Japanese have set a precedent.

It turns out that the lives of the gentry can also be harmed at will by the pirates like the untouchables!

Is this still worth it?

A few families cried and a few resented, although they were not their own family, but the Japanese outside the city were undoubtedly challenging the gentry class of the entire Ming Dynasty. The ruling class must always safeguard the interests of the ruling class. For a time, at least a large part of the gentry in Yangzhou had transferred their grievances to those maritime merchants.

As soon as night fell, wagons laden with gold and silver poured into the camp of the pirates. The Yangzhou government can only turn a blind eye under pressure. The government can't save the rich businessmen and gentry who have fallen outside the city and those gentlemen, can they still let their own families save them?

Besides, how many people can afford to pay the ransom? If something unspeakable happened to their families, the officials in Yangzhou would definitely be unlucky at the first time.

After the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the weight of the gentry power was that even the government had to negotiate it. Especially in Jiangnan, the anti-donation and anti-tax instigation behind those scholars and the impact on the government are not two together.

There was no afterwards, but the chief officer involved was inevitably impeached by the imperial history, and ended up in disrepute.

The leader of the Japanese Bandits stood in front of the gate of the camp with Chen and a large group of leaders, and saw the gold and silver coming in one after another, and he was indescribably happy.

Isn't it just for money to take such a big risk to come out and be a bandit? It seems that the gentry are still richer than the government, and the Ming court can't get the silver, but the gentry and wealthy merchants in Yangzhou can easily do it. It seems that robbing some rich peasant households in the past is really as the military advisor said, and he has found the wrong target!

The result of the incident was that the Japanese were ecstatic, and for the first time, Lichen's status as a military advisor was recognized by everyone.

It must be said that the literate are more capable of causing harm to the world than the illiterate, and do you not see that just a fortune teller can easily see the problem, and if you come up with an idea, gold and silver can come like a mountain of silver?

It seems that in the future, we will still have to find a few more scholars to join the gang, although they can't use knives or guns, but at least it's good to come up with ideas.

It's just that what the Japanese robbers don't know is that although Jiangnan has a lot of secret songs with the Japanese bandits, how many of them are willing to be the Japanese robbers themselves? In the future, it is necessary to coerce and lure to kill a person's head. It also added to the hatred of the inland gentry in the south of the Yangtze River against the Japanese invaders, and also added to the rift between the inland gentry and the coastal maritime merchants.

When it was about to dawn, the carriage that had come to deliver the silver came to an abrupt halt. Paying a ransom to a widow is not a glorious thing, and many things would rather be known than seen. Most of the hostages have been ransomed, and the rest are either stingy with money, or their families can't raise money, anyway, the remaining hostages can't go back to Yangzhou today.

Lichen deliberately went to the place where the hostages were held to take a look, there were not many children of the wealthy businessmen and magnates of the Ming Dynasty, but there were still many scholars here.

Kindness! After all, the time for those who study to make a fortune is still short, and they are naturally not as profound as those gentry and magnates. The ransom money offered by the Japanese is a lot of money, which is an astronomical amount for many middle-class families, and these scholars may not be able to get it out for a while.

As for the famous prostitutes on these caught flower boats, although they are held, raised, and raised by a group of wealthy businessmen and gentry and the children of the powerful on weekdays, just to win no one laugh, but in the end they are just their self-effacing playthings, where would anyone really pay such a large sum of money to redeem them?

Lichen came out of the place where the hostages were held, and directly found the leader of the Japanese Kou and said: "General, it is not advisable to stay outside Yangzhou for a long time, the general has already gained a lot from this trip, and he should accept it when he sees it, otherwise I am afraid that the night will be long and dreamy." ”

"Oh!" Hearing this, the leader of the Japanese invaders put away the folding fan in his hand and asked very strangely: "The army of the Ming Dynasty is not moving for a day or two, and the army of Yangzhou does not even dare to go out of the city gate, so it doesn't matter if they stay for a day or two, right?" ”

"General, didn't you only see the gold and silver sent by the gentry in Yangzhou City, but forgot the hidden dangers behind yourself? We should set off immediately, go to Jinling City for a circle, and then return to the island immediately, otherwise we will not abandon our families on the island? And if the army has always brought too much gold and silver, it will not only drag down the march, but also make the people below lose the heart to fight! Lichen persuaded bitterly.

"Yes!" The leader of the Japanese invaders was noncommittal, and walked around the room with the folding fan in his hand, and after a long time, he suddenly slapped his palm with the fan and said, "The military advisor is reasonable, we should indeed transfer immediately." It's just that what about these hostages? Kill them all, or put them back? ”

The leader of the Japanese invaders danced with the folding fan in his hand and made a head-killing motion.

"Kill all the men in the hostages, and send some gold and silver to the women, so that they can escape!" Lichen thought about it and said with a deep sigh.

"I didn't expect the military advisor to have a heart of exquisite fragrance and cherish jade!" The leader of the Japanese invaders is playful and authentic.

Of course, he would not admit this accusation, saying, "If the shogun wants to return to Japan, he should respect the righteousness of the samurai." What is the benefit of killing old and weak women and children? Why don't you release it! It is also possible that the general will have some benevolent names, and when he returns to Japan in the future, he will have capital to boast of."

"Oh!" The leader of the Japanese Kou looked at the dust in surprise and said: "The military advisor is in the Ming Dynasty, but he knows the righteousness of my Japanese samurai. ”

Lichen hurriedly humbled a few words and said: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be!" ”

The leader of the Japanese invaders was noncommittal, but really followed Chen's suggestion, and the whole army immediately prepared to set off, and then pulled all the male hostages down to the city of Yangzhou, and took their heads one by one, which was used to deter the people of Yangzhou. On the other hand, he gave each of the women hostages ten taels of silver, and told them to leave immediately.

The Japanese are in Jiangnan but can stop the existence of children's night crying, only heard that they kill people without blinking, and do not leave chickens and dogs wherever they go, when have you heard that they will release the hostages, and give a sum of money when they leave? Although ten taels of silver is not enough for the famous prostitutes in Jiangnan to drink a cup of tea, it is indeed a huge amount of money for ordinary people.

When the prostitutes left, it was as if in a dream, and the would-be robbers below were also puzzled by the leader's actions. To say that the low-level Japanese are often people who are hungry for profit, and since they are Japanese criminals, they are definitely not good people.

First, the women hostages released were quite beautiful, and they were the existence that the poor peasants along the coast dared to imagine. What's more, they still took the silver with them, and the big and small leaders above did not dare to move a little because of the orders of the leader, but there were always a few of the widows below who resisted the temptation of not having both wealth and sex.

Many of the would-be robbers quietly left the team, and while the army was setting off on its own, they couldn't help but have evil thoughts in their hearts, so they chased in the direction where the famous prostitutes had left.

Wu San is an old thief, and he has been a widow for more than ten years, and he was poor back then, so he gritted his teeth and joined the team of widows. More than ten years later, the simple young man of the year is gone, and after seeing more murder and arson, and doing more unconscionable things, he naturally learned to treat other people's lives as his own, and treat other people's money as his own.

The Japanese have done a lot of bad things about burning, killing, looting, and the common people are also hating to death. But most of the looted silver has been divided among the leaders and maritime merchants, so how much can the minions get? On weekdays, those who can fight and carry, and those who charge into battle can still take more, and the lowest guys like them have never had much silver to take.

Ten taels of silver is a lot, not to mention how much risk it can take to deal with a group of female streamers, one ten taels, ten taels is not a hundred taels? This is a number that Wu San couldn't even think of back then. And there are delicate beautiful ladies to enjoy? When the time comes, who can say anything?

I have to say that there are indeed a lot of Japanese minions who pay the same attention as Wu San, who have always been murderous and lawless, and they continue to leave the camp in twos and threes, chasing in the direction where the female hostages left.

Although the small leaders of the Japanese invaders did not dare to disobey the orders of their leaders, they would not interfere with the actions of the minions below.

As if encouraged, more and more of the pirates left, in order to prevent their accomplices from eating black (this kind of thing, not too much among the pirates and bandits). Many familiar Japanese began to consciously form teams to go out to camp to "hunt".

The peasants of the Ming Dynasty believed for thousands of years to shoot the first bird and the concept of not ruling the crowd made Wu San cautiously not choose the first wave to go out of the camp. Seeing that others were ganging up, for safety, I also found a few fellow villagers to set off together.

Wu San's team has a total of five people, one of whom is from the same village as Wu San, so he is naturally relieved. The other two are deserters from the Daming Guard, and they are also considered fellow villagers. The other was a fisherman who spoke out, and the fight was quite fierce. Wu San deliberately flattered him with the idea of not being able to provoke him, but he has always been quite kind to him.

If you can come out to rob your house, it's not too easy to follow and follow, and you don't need to be taught by anyone for more than ten years of your career as a widow. And those delicate beauties did not dare to go to Yangzhou, but followed the countryside and wanted to go home.

Yangzhou was captured, so many powerful children were killed, but she and they were let go of a way to live, no matter what psychology they had, the gentry and people in Yangzhou City would not let them go. They have no choice but to leave, find a place where no one knows, or return to their hometown is the only chance to survive.

It's just that they have been raised in a golden cage for more than ten years, and they really have no experience in how to live except for poetry and songs, and they will please people.

Seeing a few vicious and vicious widows chasing after them, a group of women began to speed up their pace in a panic. It's just that those little feet can't walk fast, how can they escape the pursuit of the pirates?

A few of the widows screamed and smirked in the middle of dozens of poor women, like lambs surrounded by wolves, and admired the frightened eyes of the women in all kinds of evil forms.

Just when the women were desperate, a sword light suddenly flew into the sky. Before they could react, they suddenly covered their necks.

One moment ago, he laughed and took the woman as a prey, but the next moment he became a praying mantis on the tree, and his head fell to the ground in an instant, and he didn't know how he died.

The upheaval was prominent, and a group of women were pale and didn't know how to react, and a young Taoist wearing a cyan Taoist robe and carrying a peachwood magic sword fell from the sky.

"Taiyi is immeasurably saving the suffering Tianzun! Cause and effect commitment, how can it be vain. A few of you have arrived in the Nine Hells, and then you will pay for the sins of this life! The Taoist in Tsing Yi walked over to a few of the would-be minions who had become headless corpses. After sighing, he waved his hand. The corpses of the would-be robbers were naturally fireless, and burned into a pile of ashes in a few breaths. Since then, there has been no evidence of their existence in the world.

"Thank you to the immortals for saving me, we are grateful in our hearts, toothless and unforgettable, and dare to ask the name of the immortals, I will wait to go back and offer a long tablet to pray for the immortals!" A group of women reacted, and between great sorrow and joy, they also had a calmness that did not lose to men. Led by a woman in pink clothes, they all knelt on the ground and thanked them.

"Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable! Seeing that the road is uneven, pulling out a sword to help is the duty of a person in my way. A few good women, get up! It's just that you have a long way to go home, and your future is uncertain. And there are a lot of widows coming behind, and there are a few spirit runes here in the poor road, and they are sent to you for self-defense, which can be regarded as a good fate! There are all kinds of sufferings in the world, all kinds of human feelings, don't remember not to commit suicide in the future, if you can find physical and mental freedom, you don't have to care about people's words? After finishing speaking, he took out a stack of spirit runes and asked several women led by him to help pass them on, one for each person. No more, no less, just enough.

"Thank you for the reward of the immortals, and dare to ask the immortal number, I will chant it day and night. Looking at the immortals, the immortal life is boundless, and the avenue is clear" A group of women did not get up, but bowed down sincerely, insisting on asking the law name of the immortals. In any case, this is a lifesaver! And with the opportunity to meet immortals, how can you not know who the immortals are?

"The poor road is dusty, and the Japanese are chasing after you, so let's leave early! There's a small town a few dozen miles away, so you'd better change your clothes and travel in groups as much as possible. Poor Dao is here to wish you a safe journey! "Lichen's words are not casual. When it comes to a half-immortal person like Chen, it would be an exaggeration to say that he would say the law, but it is not difficult to change a little mortal luck in a word.

A group of women repeatedly thanked and left, because at this time, another group of widows could already be faintly seen.

It's just that a few of the women in the group didn't go far, just watched from a distance, I don't know what it means.

Lichen frowned, and he didn't have the heart to care about the woman's thoughts. In a flash, it is a few hundred meters away. Suddenly appeared in front of a group of sub-widows.

"Taiyi is immeasurably looking for a voice to save the suffering Tianzun! Why did you come? Lichen stood in front of a few widows with a smile on his face. (To be continued.) )
