Chapter 106: Mars
After pondering for a long time, Zhang Feng'er sighed to everyone: "Brothers, after a few years, seeing you again today is really like a world away!" I wonder if everyone has been doing well in the past few years? ”
Everyone was sad, and after a while, a man named Niu Er replied, "Alas! Big brother, don't mention it! In the past few years since you left, don't talk about how aggrieved the brothers are! ”
Niu Er opened his mouth, and others also began to complain. "Yes, big brother! We miss you! ”
Zhang Feng'er knew that the brothers would have a hard time in the past few years in his absence, and it can be seen that they are still very uncomfortable with yellow faces and thin muscles and unclothed bodies.
He noticed a man sitting there silently in the corner, not speaking, but with a sad look on his face.
Out of concern between the brothers, he asked him, "Lao Quan, what about you?" How have you been doing? ”
As soon as Zhang Feng'er asked, everyone else looked at the person who was called Lao Quan by Zhang Feng'er, and everyone obviously knew the inside story, so the atmosphere was quiet for a while, and no one spoke again.
Zhang Quan saw that the eldest brother was asking himself, and grinned reluctantly, wanting to say a few words to the eldest brother.
But before he opened his mouth, tears had already fallen, and the words that had already surged to his lips could not be spoken, so he could only sigh and give up helplessly.
Seeing this, everyone looked at each other, and no one knew how to speak.
In the end, Niu Er said with a crying voice: "This year, we have a big disaster here, but the government doesn't care, and the people don't have anything to eat at home." ”
"Just a few days ago, Lao Quan's father and mother starved to death, and the corpses were buried with the help of the brothers. Big brother, you don't know, when the second elder left, he was all thin! ”
"Not only Lao Quan, but also Ah Si and Lao Jiu's families are starving to death, alas!"
Niu Er also cried as he spoke, and everyone was saddened by him, and they all wiped their tears.
Hearing this, Zhang Feng'er was speechless for a long time, he came to Zhang Quan and the others, and gently patted them on the shoulder.
He didn't comfort anything, but scolded in a low voice: "This dog's court, dog's world!" ”
Although he was sad, he still had to get down to business, and then he wiped away his tears and said to everyone, "Brothers must be curious why I let everyone come." But before I get to that, I'm going to have to show you something. ”
As she spoke, Zhang Feng'er took out something from her arms.
Everyone recovered their mood, and at this time they all gathered around curiously.
I saw that this thing was not big, but it was wrapped in delicate silk cloth, which made people think that it was a very precious thing at a glance.
Zhang Feng'er did not whet everyone's appetite, but directly opened the silk cloth wrapped around this thing, and what appeared in front of everyone at this time was a copper seal.
Although everyone had never seen it, they all vaguely guessed what it was, so they all looked at Zhang Feng'er in confusion, waiting to see what he said.
Zhang Feng'er looked at everyone and explained: "You saw it right, this is an official seal. ”
Everyone was even more puzzled, could it be that the eldest brother had become an official in the past few years? But looking at the eldest brother's dress, he doesn't look like those majestic officials!
Zhang Feng'er continued: "This is a fourth-grade Mingwei General Seal, and it is also my current official position!" ”
The people here don't know how big an official Zheng Sipin is, and in the eyes of the people in Shifang Town, the county magistrate in Luoshan County is already a big person.
Zhang Feng'er did not explain to them how big this official position is and what it means, but continued: "Everyone is their own brother, and I won't hide it from you, I have now taken refuge in King Xing of Chenzhou, and I have been named General Mingwei of the fourth grade." ”
"When I was in Chenzhou, I also had thousands of soldiers and horses under my command, and the reason why I came back quietly this time was to raise the banner of rebellion in Huainan Province by the will of King Xing, organize a righteous army, and raise troops against the imperial court!"
"The court has no way, the people have no livelihood, and the people of the world have suffered for a long time! The rise of the king is in accordance with the mandate of heaven, in order to return the people of the world to a peaceful and prosperous world. ”
"Now the general trend of Xingwang has been achieved, and it is the time to employ people. And when I come back this time, I also need the help of my brothers, as long as you follow me, I dare not guarantee anything else, but as long as I have a bite to eat, I will not let my brothers go hungry, and I will definitely seek a good future for everyone. ”
After Zhang Feng'er finished speaking, he looked around, saw that everyone was still a little hesitant, and said: "I know what everyone is worried about, after all, this is a rebellion and a matter of losing your head." If any of the brothers don't want to, it's still too late to leave, I won't be embarrassed, everyone will still be brothers when we meet in the future! ”
After Zhang Feng'er finished speaking, he pointed to the door, meaning that whoever is not willing to do it should leave now.
Everyone looked at the door and then at Zhang Feng'er, but no one wanted to leave.
After a while, Zhang Quan was the first to make up his mind and shouted, "Damn, fight!" Anyway, the government of this dog day is not willing to let us live, it is better to do the opposite, maybe there is still a way to live. ”
The rest of Niu Er and the others saw that someone had expressed their attitude, and they also said: "Damn, it's the opposite!" Whoever doesn't let Lao Tzu live, Lao Tzu will fight with them! ”
Zhang Feng'er saw the crowd surging, and finally nodded with satisfaction. Said loudly: "Okay, then we'll go against him!" ”
Rebellion must first have weapons, but fortunately, these people are some fierce masters, and there is nothing else at home, and a knife can always be taken out. As far as these people are concerned, it is not difficult for each person to have a weapon.
With weapons, if you want to get things done, you can't rely on them alone. If you want people to work with you, the most important thing is to have food.
Zhang Feng'er has no food in his hands, but the government does! And the granaries of those rich families are also full of grain, as long as they can get this grain, no one will want to follow them.
In order to get food, Zhang Fenger led people and went straight to the porridge shed set up by the government.
Zhang Feng'er used to be a popular figure in Shifang Town, so most of the people in the town knew him, and when they saw him come back suddenly, and led people so aggressively, they were all curious about what he was going to do, so they all followed him.
Along the way, more and more people gathered. By the time they arrived at the porridge shed, hundreds of people had gathered behind Zhang Feng'er and the others.
Luoshan County is responsible for serving porridge in Shifang Town, a county government clerk. In addition, there is a team of soldiers guarding it, who is responsible for guarding the food and maintaining order.
Seeing so many people encircling the porridge shed in a menacing manner, the scribe's legs and stomach were spinning in fright, and he couldn't wait to turn around and leave.
But so many people are looking at it, he represents the face of the court, and he can't be soft no matter what.
So he hurriedly led the soldiers to stop Zhang Feng'er and them outside the porridge shed, and the scribe asked Zhang Feng'er as the leader, "Who are you?" What is it to bring so many people around? ”
Zhang Feng'er stopped everyone and arched his hand to the scribe: "This lord, we are here for nothing else, just because we can't live without food in our hands, and we just want to borrow some food from adults!" ”
The scribe scolded loudly: "Presumptuous, the grain here is all the official grain of the imperial court, how can you say that you can borrow it!" If you don't retreat quickly, otherwise the country will not be able to spare you, and you will regret it when the time comes! ”
Zhang Feng'er ignored the scribe's words, and said with a smile: "What if I have to borrow it today?" ”
The scribe knows that these people are not good, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to be good today.
But I still hope to be able to scare them with the laws of the imperial court: "According to the law of the great clouds, robbing official food is the same as rebellion!" This is a big crime of the Nine Clans, you have to think clearly? ”
Zhang Feng'er suddenly took out a bone-dissolving knife from his arms, stabbed it into the scrivener's abdomen, and stirred it vigorously a few times, and said viciously: "You're right, Lao Tzu is going to rebel today!" ”
He struck fiercely and quickly, and the unsuspecting scribe was killed on the spot.
Zhang Fenger's move is a signal, as soon as he moves, others also do it.
I saw three or five of them surrounding a soldier, taking out the hidden weapons and stabbing them into the bodies of those soldiers who had no time to react.
These soldiers were outnumbered and outnumbered. I didn't expect these people to do it when they said they would do it, and they were caught off guard one after another, and they died before they could resist.
Seeing that the situation had been brought under control, Zhang Feng'er jumped onto a grain truck.
He pointed to the corpses of the scribes and the soldiers, and shouted to the onlookers: "Fellow villagers, the court has no way, and everyone has no way to live." These people have been crawling on us for many years to suck blood, but now they don't even give us a chance to live! ”
"Since they don't want us to live, then we can only find a way to live. Go to the court of her mother's dog's day, today we are rebelling, if anyone is willing to follow me, this food will be yours! ”
After Zhang Feng'er finished speaking, he opened a bag of grain with the knife in his hand, and the white rice flowed out of the mouth and rolled to the ground.
The sudden change just now scared the people who were watching the excitement around them stupid, and they didn't know how things could suddenly become like this.
But the white food in front of him made everyone's eyes green. This is food, who is not waiting for rice to be put into the pot now? In this world, you can live with it!
In the past, they didn't dare to grab it because of the pressure of the government, but now the grain is in front of them, and as long as they reach out, they can get it, and how many people can bear it.
As for whether the government will blame after taking the grain, when the whole family is about to starve to death, who has the heart to care about this, let that bullshit government go to hell!
Even if he is beheaded by then, he will be able to eat a few full meals now, which is much better than being a starving ghost.
"Damn, Lao Tzu is also reversed! I'll do it with you! ”
"I'll do it! I'm the other way around! ”
"I'll do it!"
"I'll do it too!"
Under the temptation of food and Zhang Feng'er's instigation, the people here became chaotic and began to loot food, and the scene became chaotic.
Zhang Feng'er stood on a high place and asked his subordinates to stop the people who were looting food.
He said loudly: "Don't panic, everyone, since everyone is willing to work with us, this grain is yours." But these are far from enough, to feed our wives and children, we need more food, would you like to follow me to find more food? ”
