"When I arrived in the city, I first asked to see the Lord of the Thousand Households." Han Sen looked around and said dejectedly: "After waiting for half an hour, Li Qianhu was unhappy when he saw me, and after hearing what I said about Wang Baihu and others, Li Qianhu directly waved me out. said that it was Min Baihu's trouble, and Qianhu would not pay attention to it, and he, Qianhu, did not have the ability to ask for someone from Yang Shida...... Qianhu also said that his previous salt ship also had military households beaten, and he was asked for an extra 10% of silver, which was provoked by Min Baihu, and this silver must be returned by Min Baihu......"

When Han Sen spoke, he was also quite ashamed in his words, it was obvious that the thousand households of the five grades were not as good as the hundred households and the general banner, and they were quite identities in the local area, but Li Qianhu was so irresponsible, cowardly and incompetent, and more importantly, he showed indifference and indifference to the life and death of the banner army......

"Previously, Lord Li Qianhu did have a batch of salt ships detained at Shuiguan, and the flag army transporting salt was beaten, and the salt goods on the ship were increased by 10%, which was the result of Li Qianhu interceding." The muscles on Han Sen's face twitched a few times, and he said angrily: "So Li Qianhu is not prevaricating, he really has no choice." Later, I went to see Min Qianhu, who signed the book, and he was very anxious after hearing this, and Min Qianhu also said that he would ask the commander or a certain acquaintance to turn the circle on his behalf, but the time was not necessarily, and he did not dare to guarantee that it would be effective. If the people in the government are afraid that it will be of some use, but recently, the state and county officials have been suffering from the harassment of Shandong's local grain collection, and they tend to serve the military generals of Shandong, but the life and death of our banner army will not be taken to heart. To put it mildly, even if we die a few people, these state and county officials will at most issue a document to deal with it, and I am afraid that no one will really pay attention to it at all...... Min Qianhu said that if he couldn't ask for help, he would find a way to raise money, pay a large amount of money to Yang Shida, and find a few decent squires to persuade him to make peace......"

Han Sen's tone of voice became deeper and deeper until his voice was so low that others could no longer hear him.

Everyone was depressed to death, and a few people who read the book felt that everything that was old was quickly collapsing in front of them.

All the old order is rapidly collapsing, the power of the local government comes from the recognition of the order, when the order is intact, not to mention the state and county halls, even if a official with a few errands, Yang Shida has to release people in a proper manner, in fact, if the order is intact, Dahewei can also solve this matter by himself...... No matter how low the status of the military attache of the guard is, a dignified and upright hundred household officials can't just ask a group of salt to be arrested and detained......

People looked at each other, and the main hall of the official hall suddenly fell silent.

No one spoke or reacted, and the group of people in the official hall suddenly turned into stone and wooden statues, and except for the fact that there was no way to stop breathing, all other subtle movements stopped.

Before Han Sen came back, people still held on to the last glimmer of hope, after all, this great tomorrow is not dead, although everyone is a guard army, and their status has always been low, but they can't be so devoid of Wang Fa Tianli. A salt lord who hangs a miscellaneous official position, saying that he is an official is actually gathering a group of rogue and green-skinned ruffians, who are rampant in the name of patrolling salt, if many people are quite dissatisfied with the commission given to Yang Shida, Min Yuanqi beat people and did not pay the silver, although the military households are worried, they also secretly feel happy...... originally thought that this matter would be forgotten to avoid the limelight, but who expected that Yang Shida's group was like maggots attached to the bones, and they were like old turtles made out of the pond, and now they bite the military households and they don't let go!

"Disperse first." After half a ring, Min Yuanqi waved his hand and said, "If I think of a way, I won't just forget it." ”

Wang Mingyuan said angrily: "Naturally, you can't forget it like this, after all, it was you who caused the trouble." ”

Min Yuan Qishi didn't say anything all the time, but at this time he smiled and said: "Brother Mingyuan now also knows that the salt lord is arrogant, and the thousands of households don't pay attention to it, and the government doesn't pay attention to it. According to Brother Ming Yuan, no matter how excessive this generation is, how lawless it is, how it bullies men and women, we should endure it silently? According to your thoughts, this generation hit us on the left cheek, and we should put the right cheek over again, otherwise it will be considered trouble? ”

"What Lord Baihu said is reasonable!"

"It's too much of a deception."

"This is kind of on our necks, if you can endure everything, you can endure it, can you endure this thing anymore?"

In the noisy voice, Han Sen said again: "Li Qianhu also has troublesome things...... The commander of Fucheng issued an order, saying that he was receiving the order of the Governor of the Chinese Army in Nanjing, Dahewei and Yangzhou Wei, Taizhou Wei and Huai'an Wei, and Zhuwei wanted to transfer the grain handed over to Liu Shuai's department in Shandong, and in the future, we will have a lot of grain on the stall, and this matter is troublesome enough......"

Although Han Sen also despised Li Kecheng's thousands of households and did not have the slightest recognition, one was because of Li Kecheng's background and power, and the other was because Han Sen subconsciously maintained the old order system, so he was still defending Shangguan as much as possible.

But these words seemed to stir up a thousand waves with one stone, and the emotions of the people inside and outside the official hall were more like a boiling oil pot splashing water, and the whole crowd was boiling.

The lawlessness of the Shandong soldiers has been widely praised, before Huai'anwei and Dahewei have not encountered the chaos, only a small group of defeated soldiers once fled from Henan, as soon as they came over, they were disarmed by the local garrison, and did not cause a major disaster.

And the Shandong soldiers followed Liu Zeqing, and there were more than 30,000 people including the militia and auxiliary soldiers, although Liu Zeqing's strength was the worst among the four towns in Jiangbei in the future...... Even Liu Liangzuo has fought some battles, and there are some elite soldiers who can fight under his command, but Liu Zeqing purely relies on watch-and-see and looting to preserve and strengthen his strength, his subordinates have the least number of people and the least number of elite soldiers, and the scum who have done all the bad things and have no bottom line are full of the military camp of the southbound Shandong soldiers.

These Shandong soldiers are guest soldiers in a foreign land, but they have no law, there is no military discipline at all, there will be some hometown fires in their hometowns, and when the guest soldiers go to other places, military discipline is difficult to maintain, not to mention that there is a vicious and brutal general like Liu Zeqing, who has no bottom line as the general?

In the past few days, the news that Shandong soldiers are collecting grain, looting, and even beating and killing people has long been spread, and these Shandong soldiers are simply doing whatever they want and doing whatever they want. In the process of requisitioning grain, he even deliberately robbed the squires of large households, originally the generals were most afraid of offending the gentry, but now it is completely different, Liu Zeqing does not put ordinary officials and gentry in his eyes at all, he once murdered the imperial court, but Emperor Chongzhen ignored it, which made Liu Zeqing faintly feel the bottom line of the imperial court, that is, as long as they are still serving for the Ming Dynasty, the emperor will have no bottom line......

For ordinary people, they don't care about the great cause of the dynasty, but the guest soldiers beat people and kill people, and loot at will is something that makes them extremely worried, these soldiers are in Huai'an and the counties to collect grain and loot, no one is taken into their eyes, and even the state and county officials and officials have become the helpers of these guest soldiers, according to the rumored news, Zhang Jiayu, the magistrate of Yancheng County, because of the unfavorable supply, was even scolded by a certain general of the Shandong soldiers......

The news exacerbated the panic and angered after hearing the clear news.

There was a noisy discussion inside and outside the official hall, and people had a look of anger on their faces, in the discussion, Wang Mingyuan was speechless, he still felt that Min Yuanqi was too reckless and violent, and he made a living in vain.

Guan Lei had a contemplative look on his face, and Ding Ruqi didn't make a sound, but just walked out.

This scholar who has not entered school is shaking his face in front of him, he doesn't care, the left and right walls in front of him are the official hall buildings, he subconsciously looked back, the main hall of the official hall in the five-bay room is still full of faces, the candle flame is shaking, and people's faces are also shaking under the lamplight. Most of the people are still wearing fat jackets, the spring is not too hot, the winter jacket will not be taken off early, the spring covers the autumn freezing, and the sick is worse for the poor people, and it must not be careless. There are weapons on both sides of the courtyard, all of which are wiped bright, everything seems to be no different, only the black and gray tiles are covered with withered artemisia that shows the decaying weather, and the inner and outer walls of the courtyard are plastered white and yellow by new mud, which is the result of the recent efforts to serve in the hundred households after the craftsmen have curwed, although the color is not good-looking, but the decayed official hall is obviously a lot newer.

Everything seemed to be no different, but at this moment, Ding Ruqi felt that the things he believed in and relied on had completely collapsed, and everything in front of him had become meaningless.

"What's the use of saying that in this situation? You still have to speak with your fists and feet and the knives and guns in your hands. Since the government ignored it, and no one in the guard office came to ask, then we crossed Yang Shida's gang with swords and guns, wouldn't there be no one to come out and do a lot of trouble? ”

"Who said that?"

"The dog is light-hearted, Yang Shida and his gang are not forage for nothing, how can it be easy to fight?"

"There is some truth in what he said, let's practice with hundreds of households these days, what is the picture?"

"If Yang Shida doesn't ask us to live, we won't let him live!"

"Such a hard life is going to be unbearable, Shandong soldiers have to call to pay food, if they don't call, they have to be robbed and beaten, and if they don't get it right, they will lose their lives, and they don't want to find a way to survive, are they really waiting for death?"

"The court can't control too many things, the emperor has called the thieves to surround it, since those officials don't care about our life or death, they really won't care about Yang Shida's life or death, if so, they are all dignified seven-foot men, so what if they go and cut down those donkeys and horses!"

"It's better to sit and wait for death, than to fight."

If the targeting of Yang Shida and his gang had already made all the military households feel like pins and needles, then the news that Han Sen brought back could be regarded as the last straw that crushed the camel.

The guest soldiers have long spread the news of collecting grain and grabbing grain, beating and killing people, and insulting women all over Dahewei, and these news are disturbing and vigilant, if the salt pond can't be done, even if the salt is fried, it will be difficult to continue, and people are already struggling with food and clothing. In addition, if the guest soldiers come to collect food, if they do not pay the food, they will definitely be robbed and beaten, and even killed. If you pay food, it is equivalent to handing over half of the life of the whole family, and no one knows how long the guest soldiers will stay and how much food they will have to collect before they can be satisfied. Originally, people were hostile and wary of outsiders, and the savagery and ferocity of the guest soldiers deepened this stereotype.
