Verse 138 The unavengable blood vengeance
The Song people have a tradition of stepping into spring. Although Miaojia Village is located in the deep mountains and wilderness, it also maintains this tradition.
The village is thriving and full of hope. Everyone's interest in going out to play is higher. It has become a joyful festival to relax and pray for good luck for a year.
On this year's spring sting day, the young men and young daughters-in-law in the village who have not yet married a family are led and cared for by more than a dozen brave or careful aunts, and are escorted by brave teenagers such as dragons, tigers, leopards, and bears, riding mules and horses, and riding ox carts to a small lake area in the mountains nearly 20 miles away from the village with great interest to play and relax, fish, hunt, and bake.
The man who started a family stayed at home to take care of the farmland, hoeing grass and loosening the soil. The women do household chores and prepare food at home.
Expecting a good harvest is another joy. They chose to stay, just as happy.
The children in the mountain village are originally wild, and this spring outing, without parental control, is even more enjoyable.
Patient and interested, busy fishing. Bravely follow to hunt. Mushroom pickers, wild vegetable pickers, kite flyers, chasers and fights......
There were bursts of cheerful laughter on the edge of the small lake.
Just as they were enjoying the beauty of spring, a group of demons suddenly broke into this pure land.
There are no gods and demons in the world. Naturally, they are wicked people, but they are neither the robbers that Miaojia Village is not afraid of, nor the ruffians in the nearby area where Miaojia Village can play.
This team of more than 100 horsemen were all soldiers of the Western Army.
The leaders were Liu Anshi, the second son of Liu Yanqing, the leader of the Yan Army, and Liu Anshi, the younger brother of Liu Guangshi, and Liu Zhengyan, the son of Liu Fa of the Xihe Army, who came to visit him. The rest of the cavalry was accompanied by the escort of the two.
Liu Fa is a famous general of the Western Army, and he has great power, no matter what his real character is. Always pay attention to demeanor and demeanor.
But his precious son Liu Zhengyan is not a thing, he is a real high-ranking bully.
He was on the northwestern frontier. But I heard about the arrogant deeds of Zhao Yue, the second son of Cangzhao, and I didn't learn the kind nature of Zhao Yue's rampant and domineering. But he was envious of learning to act recklessly.
In another history, this guy is also a vicious stupid funnyman who is unwilling to keep to himself.
In the third year of Jianyan (1129), Liu Zhengyan's father died early, and the team of his cronies was scattered, he had no support, and he had no ability to lead troops to fight the Jin army, and he could not be as majestic and powerful as Yue Fei, Han Shizhong and other famous generals of the Southern Song Dynasty who were from humble backgrounds but could kill them hard, but they were extremely unwilling to be as domineering as in the past, and used their brains to seize power, and launched the "Miao Liu Mutiny" with another ambitious stupid guy Huaixi Miao Fu. On March 5, he killed his benefactor Wang Yuan, who had secured his promotion, and led his troops to surround Zhao's palace under the leadership of Miao Fu Mubin Wang Shixiu, and coerced the three-year-old prince of Song Gaozong......
These two idiots don't have much military power, and their subordinates are not strong troops, they make a lot of fun, and they are really moved by Yue Fei and the others, and they are frightened when they are only lightly forced and frightened. In the end, of course, the palace failed.
Zhao Gou was born with divine power, and it is said that he has some force, but in essence, he is a useless coward, and he was completely frightened by the golden barbarian. In the punishment of this pair of rebellious palace generals, the extreme cruelty hidden in their cowardice was revealed, and Liu Zhengyan was killed by Song Gaozong.
Later, killing Yue Fei's family was ruthless and resolute enough. It really proves that he is naturally cowardly, selfish, cold, ruthless and unjust.
This is how many things in the world are. It's twisted and ridiculous enough, and it's chilling enough.
Liu Anshi is a Yanai who has a good life with his father and brother. is not as good as his brother Liu Guangshi, at least he can bluff people.
They went to the remote Miaojia Village because of hospitality, drinking and having fun. I wanted to go out hunting and find excitement, and I went on a rampage all the way out of the city, and accidentally passed by here.
The horses are tired of running. There was a lack of power in the two yamen. The whole team dismounts and rests.
In early spring, the grass is not luxuriant, and the small green shoots on both sides of the road, hundreds of war horses are not enjoyable.
Isn't there a wheat field on the side of the road?
The green is green, and there are no pesticides in this era, and the war horses can enjoy it to their heart's content. As for what kind of loss the farmer will suffer and how painful he will be, it is not a matter of business.
However, the people of Miaojia Village are not docile and honest ordinary farmers, brave and fierce, even if this group of people are officers and soldiers, so indulgent war horses to destroy the fruits of their labor and ruin their hope of a bumper harvest, they cannot agree.
The Miao chief, who was busy in the field, angrily came over to denounce the negotiations.
"Is there any royal law left?"
The old patriarch's angry questioning was met with surprise from the group of officers and soldiers, followed by unbridled ridicule.
Lao Tzu is the master of this land in the Yanyan Military District, and he is the son of the Western Army. Return the king's law? Wang Fa is from my family. You cheap old mud legs dare to question Lao Tzu? Could it be that you are too old to get tired of it?
The old patriarch was so angry that his snow-white beard pouted.
"We farmed and fed you bastards who plagued us?"
He was furious, and the gang did not restrain the horses. He himself scolded and drove the horses away from the farmland......
Liu Anshi felt that he had lost face in front of Liu Zhengyan and was furious.
When his chief guard saw that the opportunity to behave had come, he immediately rushed over and scolded the old patriarch for being an old horseman.
"You dare to hurt the warhorse. This is a capital offense. ”
casually deducted the crime, and he cut down the old patriarch who was caught off guard with a knife.
The poor old man, with his gray head tumbling in the wheat field he had worked so hard to tend, was finally covered by the half-cut wheat seedlings gnawed by the war horses, and his eyes widened against the remaining green.
The fierceness of the chief of the guard shocked the people of Miaojia Village.
Miao Zhenglin, the son of the old patriarch, never dreamed that this group of officers and soldiers would be so reckless and cruel and careless of human life. His eyes turned red instantly, and he screamed sadly, and ran over with his hoe like the wind, and looked at the head of the guard.
The chief of the guard is also a brave and strong man who was killed on the battlefield, he didn't put a farmer in his eyes, and hung his waist knife, thinking that he could easily block the blow, and cleaned up the crazy man with a backhand knife, and once again stood up and threatened, not wanting the knife to be broken by a violent force, and his head was split in half by a hoe, and it was split to the base of his neck.
Liu Anshi, who was sitting leisurely, stared roundly.
How dare this farmer kill an official?
No, no, no, it's not just officials. This slapped him Liu Anshi in the face, and bullied the entire Yan Yanjun.
"Chop him up for me."
With Liu Anshi's arrogant and ferocious shouting. The guards swarmed up, wielding knives and spears at the man in the farmland.
I don't want the man to grab a war horse next to him, ride it skillfully, urge the horse to dance the iron hoe and fight the guards, but he is almost unable to resist the opponent of the two. Nearly 100 Miao men who were busy working on the farmland rushed over, and everyone grabbed horses and rode on, dancing farm tools to kill.
Fifty or sixty capable guards were actually beaten by a group of mud-legged men with farm tools?
Liu Anshi was taken aback.
Liu Zhengyan was excited to see the excitement, and asked in a weird manner: "Brother Anshi, how are your subordinates?" Do you want your brother to help? ”
Liu Anshi's face turned red, but he didn't have the courage to go out in person.
Liu Zhengyan stepped on Liu Anshi, he was in a good mood, and he couldn't really stand by and watch the jokes, so he ordered the guards to go up and help.
This guy is a guest from afar, for safety, the guards are fully equipped, and they are out hunting, all with bows and arrows.
Seeing that this group of farmers is not easy to mess with. The guards did not dare to step forward to fight in close quarters, and they all took their bows and shots.
Miao Zhenglin and the others are not soldiers, they have weapons such as knives, guns, bows and arrows, but they have no armor, and they come to work in the fields, dressed in shabby cloth, even if they are strong in martial arts, how can they withstand the attack of arrows from these good guards.
Poor Miao Zhenglin, a good man, struggled to shoot arrows, and wanted to chase down the culprit Liu Anshi, but was shot as a hedgehog first.
Liu Anshi and Liu Zhengyan shot these farmers, and their ferocity became so fierce that they simply slaughtered Miaojia Village to facilitate the handling of the aftermath.
The women who stayed at home to do housework and the old people who could no longer afford to go to the fields enjoyed their own pleasures in peace under the gentle spring light, but they were suddenly rushed in by this group, and all the good happiness came to naught in a blink of an eye.
While the butcher knife was wielding, women who hurriedly resisted fell one by one. Everywhere the old people are piled up dead and silent. Blood was spilled all over the courtyard.
After the slaughter, Liu Anshi noticed that the corpses in the village lacked young children and teenagers, and he had doubts in his heart, so he ordered his subordinates to kill chickens and pigs to eat, which was another kind of hunting harvest. In fact, they want to wait for the children who don't know where to run to play to come back so that they can be slaughtered.
But his wishful thinking fell through.
Miao Li wolf and Miao Xian fox, the two ten-year-old bear children, wanted to dig out the bird's nest and burn the bird to eat, but they didn't follow the big army to go out.
They had eaten enough of the meat and eggs and went home giggling and laughing, but they heard a series of screams from the village in the distance.
Children living in wilderness mountain villages are particularly alert.
They were small and big, and quietly lurked nearby to observe, witnessed the evil deeds of this group of soldiers of the Western Army, heard the name of the culprit, and hurriedly ran to the mountains to inform the villagers who were playing in the small lake.
But they are still young, although the leather is solid, it is difficult to approach the twenty-mile mountain road, waiting for Miao Zhenglong and other good hands to ride mules and rush back frantically. All you can see is a raging fire all over the village. Liu Anshi and Liu Zhengyan were impatient, and they were not afraid of retaliation from the people of Miaojia Village, so they left early.
Knowing the boss's strong identity, not being able to kill the enemy means that he will never have the opportunity to avenge his family and fellow villagers.
The friends were furious, crying and shouting and chased into the city to assassinate them.
But a few sane aunts resisted the impulse.
How can the mountain grass people deal with the sons of the two leaders of the Western Army?
The village is full of dolls and needs to be raised, and young women need to be protected. The brave and good boy who has grown up must take up this responsibility, and cannot easily lose his life in order to risk an assassination in the city without the slightest certainty.
The enemy is too powerful.
In order to avoid being extinguished, they seized the time to grab the materials that could be used from the fire and immediately fled into the distance.
Liu Anshi poisoned the people, in order to avoid trouble and maintain the reputation of the family, and in order to completely cut the grass and eradicate the roots, he had already taken countermeasures, and after returning to Miaojia Village, he reported to the government in the name of fornicating with the Western Xia.
Liu Dagongzi said to the grass people, of course, what he said.
The government is doing its best. In order to prevent the surviving Miao family from fleeing to the East China Sea to emigrate, or to go to the capital to file a complaint, the government to the east was first notified. As long as the Miao family can't escape from the control of the Western Army, Liu Anshi and Liu Zhengyan are confident that they will be able to arrest and get rid of them sooner or later.
Miao Zhenglong and the others really planned to flee to the legendary happy and fair Cangzhou, but fortunately, the alert was not caught, and the resentment had no choice but to turn, and finally ended up in Kongtong Mountain, where they were found and taken in by the thieves in despair of hunger and cold.
