Chapter 400: Wang Xiu's Killing of Gongsha (I)
ββJiaodong Gongsha Village
Like most of the Haoqiang, the Gongsha clan had already built their own Wu fort in order to better survive the clansmen in this troubled world.
Gong Shalu rode into the stockade on a fast horse, and as soon as he got off the horse, he said to his younger brother Gong Shayi, who was waiting on the side, "Go, gather all the clansmen to come and discuss!" β
After a while, the elders of all the houses gathered in the lobby.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Ma Qiang has already ordered the start of clearing the fields in Beihai City! Come to think of it at this moment, Qingtian's team is on the way here, let's get an idea together! β
Gong Shalu's words immediately caused everyone to explode.
"Our Gongsha clan can be said to be kind to Ma Yuanjun, why doesn't he even let us go?"
"Yes, when Fu'er was in Shanggu, he supported Ma Zhijun, which enabled Ma Zhijun to quell the two rebellions in Youzhou, and went south to Jizhou to attack the Yellow Turban, so that he has today's scenery, our Gongsha clan does not ask him to take care of it, what? He still wants to attack us? β
Gongshalu listened to the words of the elders of the various clans, and he was also angry in his heart, and waved his hand, "Okay, you think that our Gongsha clan is kind to him, but he Ma Qiang doesn't think so."
Now people are swordsmen, I am fish and meat, this field, let me not let it, let's talk about it!
Let me first say my opinion, our Gongsha clan moved from Guangwu to Jiaodong, until Mu Gong did not achieve anything, think that Mu Gong was in Luoyang that day, no money and food to study, change into a guest servant, for you to rent a house, how desolate, at that time our Gongsha clan, each room can be full of food is good.
Think about it later, Luoyang sang the five dragons of Gongsha everywhere, and when there was no match in the world, what a beautiful scenery we were.
Today, once the fields are cleared, how should each house support the children of the clan to study and practice martial arts? Once there are no such fields and tenants, and our Gongsha clan is in ruin, do we still want our children, like Mu Gong, to become other people's guest servants to ask for money and food to study?
Therefore, this field must not be cleared! β
A family's land is not owned by a single family, but will be divided into each house to take care of itself, and of course, there will also be some public land that is used for public expenses within the family.
If Haoqiang wants to evolve into a warrior clan, he needs a lot of money for his children to study and practice martial arts, you must know that a good education has been a luxury since ancient times, and the money and food to be spent are not half a bit.
If a large amount of land is lost, then some of these powerful children will inevitably give up studying and practicing martial arts, and turn to mundane things to make money to supply the more qualified children in the clan, but who wants to let their children be the ones who give up.
Therefore, Qingtian is not only a simple economic issue, but also involves the future of the children of the clan, and it is a major event of life and death within the clan.
"But Ma Qiang deliberately went to Beihai this time, there will inevitably be actions, what should we do?"
On the way here, Gong Shalu thought about it, he looked at everyone and said, "Call on all the soldiers and children to form a village to protect themselves!" Let people go to Donglai quickly and ask for intercession! β
Gongshamu has five sons, namely Shao, Fu, Ke, Kui, Fan, at this time only Gongshafu, Gongshakui and Gongshafan are still alive, among which Gongshafu is trapped in Chang'an and cannot get out, Gongshakui is an official in Yangzhou, and Gongshafan inherits the family education and lives in seclusion in the mountains where Gongshamu used to teach.
"I'm afraid that Ma Yuanjun won't give up Qingtian." The elder shook his head and said.
"I just hope he can back down a bit, the current policy is too harsh!" Gong Shalu also sighed, he didn't know that he was playing with fire, "If you just give up one or two percent of the land, I can accept it, but now that you count it, this is asking us to give up seven or eight percent!" Let's make our attitude clear first, and then negotiate with him, Qingzhou has just been pacified, and he can't make a big mess in the future. β
Everyone nodded their heads, feeling justified.
"Report! Ladies and gentlemen, a few officials came, saying that they were coming to discuss the matter of Qingtian. A clansman came in and clasped his fists and said, Gong Shalu smiled and said, "It's good to come!" Go, get them all up! Strip naked and rush back! β
"Brother, after all, they are officials, is this inappropriate?" Gong Shayi said worriedly. 90 look
"It's just a humiliation, out of the way! I said, we need to make a statement! β
When Wang Xiu and Guan Hai came to Jiaodong with the sergeants, they saw a few people entering the city with their bare butts and laughing at the ridicule of the people, Guan Hai laughed and said, "These people don't wear clothes." β
Wang Xiu frowned and said, "This must be done by Gong Shalu, let's go into the city and ask." β
Pedestrians on the road saw Guan Hai with soldiers and horses, and they all took refuge, and someone reported to Gong Shalu.
In the palace, Jiaodong ordered Jiang Meng to catch up with Wang Xiu.
"Brother Shuzhixian, you don't know, this Gongsha clan used to have Gongshamu to control them, but they were still honest, after Gongshamu went, his five sons didn't care about the affairs of the clan, Gongshalu was temporarily the patriarch, and his actions were even more arrogant.
In the past, they refused to respond to the money, food, and servitude, and I came to the door several times, and I was humiliated by them.
Since the envoy asked Qingtian, I have almost knelt in front of their Gongsha Village, Uncle Zhixian brother... I'm Jiaodongling, I deserve to be aggrieved! β
As he spoke, Jiang Meng's tears came out, and Guan Hai, who was watching it, looked disgusted.
Well, this guy knows how to act better than me.
"The things of the world are bad for these people!" Wang Xiu said, "You take someone again, I and Guan Sima will follow behind, if he dares to resist again, according to the order of the envoy, anyone who resists the official will be killed!" β
Jiang Meng listened, his face twitched, how could this Wang Xiu shout and kill as soon as he came, he was not elegant at all.
But he still had a happy look on his face, ordered hundreds of poor people, acted as a guide, and went to Gongsha Village.
- Gongsha Village
Gong Shalu was wearing leather armor, standing at the head of the village, looking at the team coming from afar, and said in his heart that it was false not to be nervous.
"Haven't the people who went to Donglai come back yet?"
"This comes and goes, no matter how fast it is, it will take a day."
"I hope I can hold on!"
Gong Shalu saw Jiang Meng coming to the front and shouting for the door, so he came forward and said, "Jiang County Order, needless to say, the fields are the accumulated income of our clan for hundreds of years, and they must not be cleared!" β
Jiang Meng arched his hand and said, "Brother Gongsha, listen to me, the envoy has already ordered, the matter of clearing the field is on the line, and it has to be sent, for what your clan thinks, this field is still clear." β
"I don't believe it, he dared to slaughter my Gongsha clan!" As he spoke, Gong Shalu waved his hand, and hundreds of archers got up to draw their bows and arrows, and Gong Shalu said to Jiang Meng, "Go quickly, go quickly, otherwise you will look good!" β
When Jiang Meng saw the bow and arrow, he was so frightened that his legs were weak, and he hurriedly ran back, and Wang Xiu, who was a mile away, saw Jiang Meng coming back, took a breath and said, "The ceremony has passed, and the soldiers are available!" Dispatch troops! β
As soon as Gong Shalu relaxed here, he saw a neat military formation appear in front of him, looking at the fluttering battle flag, a group of clan elders suddenly panicked.
"That's Guan Hai's soldiers and horses, is this really going to be okay?"
"Afraid of what? We are the Jiaodong Gong Sha clan! Gong Shalu swallowed his saliva and said.
This Ma Qiang... Do you want to come to the real thing?
