0681 Thieves
Niu Bajin in the yard listened coldly to the sound of turning over boxes and cabinets in the room, and then saw the two corpses in the yard, and then let out a sigh of relief! It's kind of calming your mind! At the same time, Niu Bajin also knew that Bai Zhihong and these people were in the palm of his hand! As long as these people make a move, they will never be able to turn back!
After a while, Bai Zhihong and Niu Mangu walked out of the room with a smile on their faces, and they were distributing an ingot of silver in their hands, it seemed that their harvest was not small!
A few people were sharing dozens of taels of silver, but Niu Bajin didn't give them a chance, and said directly: "The next one will go next door!" ”
At this moment, the few people who are in high spirits no longer think about other things, and they don't feel that what they are doing has anything to do with moral right and wrong! They followed Niu Bajin into the courtyards of one house after another, killing anyone who dared to resist, torturing the living, robbing them of all their silver and jewelry, and all the happy ones were going crazy!
Until it was almost dawn, Niu Bajin ordered several of them to grab a lot of clothes and wrap them. Bai Zhihong asked with red eyes, "What are you doing with so many clothes?" It's not a good thing either, and it takes up space! ”
Niu Bajin stood still, sneered and pointed to the rising firelight and said, "Bai boy, do you think we can go back to live a peaceful life?" ”
Bai Zhihong and the others looked blankly at the four directions, and they didn't seem to have reacted yet. Niu Bajin said: "Everyone originally meant to make a salary, but when we entered the city, you had already seen it, it was no longer a salary, but a rebellion against officials!" Think about it! ”
Bai Zhihong stared at each other for a long time before he understood. Then the murderous aura on his face receded, and what came up was a look of horror! They really have no intention of rebelling in themselves. I just want to make a fuss, and I want Shangguan to pay a salary to live his own small life.
It's just that things went off track at the very beginning. Even they themselves were swept up in it. At the beginning, a few people didn't think there was anything when the blood was up, but when Niu Bajin broke all this, the blood receded, and panic occupied all their thinking.
Bai Zhihong even dropped the burden he was carrying, and he said in a trembling voice: "Uncle Niu, what should we do?" ”
Niu Bajin sighed and said, "Listen to my arrangement, I can always ask for a way for everyone to survive." ”
A drowning person is always prone to grasp the last straw and hold on, even if he knows that this straw will not save his life. At this time, Bai Zhihong: They are in this state. Niu Bajin promised to keep them alive, so they eliminated all ideas and resolutely believed this statement.
Niu Bajin instructed everyone: "Tidy up your clothes, and each person must ensure at least two sets from the inside to the outside." Then each of them carried his own gold and silver on his back. Let's take advantage of the darkness to touch the two more. Then he went to the camp to steal a few horses. We have to get out of here before dawn. As for where to go, we'll go out of town and discuss it again. ”
Bai Zhihong and the others nodded again and again in agreement. They robbed several more families under the guidance of Niu Bajin. Then he walked towards the barracks outside the city with a large bag. At the beginning, Bai Zhihong and a few people were still worried, for fear that some officials would bring someone to investigate.
As a result, all the way there were wrapped rebels walking the streets and alleys like them! When they meet familiar people, they will be invited to cooperate in looting, which makes several people gradually relax their hearts, and even have some thoughts of looting again. However, it was stopped by Niu Bajin.
By the time they arrived at the barracks, it was already empty. All the soldiers went to participate in this feast of plunder. So they easily led a dozen horses out. Niu Bajin instructed several of them to put on the saddle and tie the looted things and forage to the back of the horse that prepared the horse. Then he rode out of the camp and mixed in the crowd out of Guyuan County.
The group left the county seat and stood far away. As soon as the wind blew, everyone was cold. Especially this cold wind made Bai Zhihong and the others completely calm down. Several of them were glad that they had escaped from the county seat earlier. Looking at the fire burning in the county, Bai Zhihong and a few people knew that the matter was already big, and the government would definitely suppress it.
Bai Zhihong asked, "Uncle Niu, what should we do now?" ”
Niu Bajin said: "Everyone should have heard that there was a person surnamed Wang who had an incident in the first half of the year, and now the government has not been able to exterminate them for a long time. Now we have horses in some of us, and it would be a good place to go if we threw ourselves at them! But I don't think it's okay to go now, we have to find a small cottage to take refuge in and wait and see. As long as a few of us form a group, no one can help us!"
A few people discussed it and thought it would be a good idea to wait and see the wind for a while. Then it was agreed which small cottage to take refuge in. So a few people rode horses and disappeared into the early hours of the night.
By daybreak, the soldiers involved in the uprising had calmed down. But at this time, the entire Guyuan City was almost completely destroyed! All the soldiers who participated in the commotion wanted to cry without tears at this time! They knew that at this time their actions were no longer within the scope of trouble, but indeed rebellion! And the government will definitely pursue it! What to do? Of course, they were scattered! Those who hide hide, those who are bandits are bandits, those who join the rebels go to the army, and leave a mess in one place!
The scale of the uprising at the end of the Ming Dynasty and the fierceness of the struggle have been discussed in many monographs and articles, but the Guyuan Mutiny in the first year of Chongbei that occurred at the same time is rarely discussed or brushed aside. This made everyone underestimate the significance and impact of the Guyuan Mutiny.
First of all, the Guyuan Mutiny disrupted the strategic deployment of the Ming army, attracted the main force of the Ming army, and provided an opportunity for the peasant year that had just revolted to organize and breathe.
Of course, before the Guyuan Mutiny, there were several Liaodong Shouyuan Mutinies in July of the first year of Zhenzhen, and Jinzhou Mutiny in October, but they were the warlordized Guanning Army who were making trouble, and the Guyuan Mutiny was not the same thing at all.
Secondly, the Guyuan Prefecture Treasury Mutiny destroyed the logistics of the Ming army that was suppressing bandits. According to the "Ming History Food and Goods Chronicle", there are more than 309,000 stones of grain in Guyuantun, more than 41,000 taels of silver in folded grain, more than 7,100 taels of silver for cattle per mu, more than 45,000 stones of grain in the natural color of the people's movement, more than 279,000 taels of silver in the grain and grass in the folded grain, more than 288,000 bunches of grass in the Tuntian and the grass of the people's movement, more than 25,000 taels of salt in Huai and Zhejiang, more than 63,000 taels of silver in Beijing, and more than 190,000 taels of reward silver. These were all robbed by the rebels, resulting in the main Ming army being unable to continue.
Finally, although the Guyuan Mutiny was relatively short, in the course of the mutiny, a considerable number of people joined the ranks of the peasant uprising. All of them have been trained in vehicle accidents and have some combat experience. Therefore, when they joined the ranks of the rebel army, they played a considerable role in improving the combat capability of the rebel army, and it cannot be ignored after a little!
Their combat effectiveness is proven. In June of the third year of Chongzhen, Liu Mao of the Ming Military Department said that the thieves of Qin were not from other provinces, that is, the soldiers of Yanqing were also thieves.... In recent years, the famine is still frequent, and the shadow of the foolish people is still attached to the stream of robbery, and between the original, the rich, and the yao, the thief is big.
According to Liu Maoshu, Liu Zhengjing, Fu, between, mentioned Yaozhou. Then, the Guyuan thieves committed Yaozhou, which may be the remnants of the Guyuan Mutiny. It can be seen from this that the scale of the Guyuan Mutiny was not small. Moreover, at that time, Hong Chengchou had more than 10,000 troops and failed to destroy them, which shows that he was strong.
