Chapter 204: The Change of Kam Tin

Facts have proved that the guest of honor, Wu Wenming and Gao Chang, really lived up to the Wu surname of Wu County, and it was indeed a crow's mouth, and it was right as soon as he said it!

When he received the paperwork from the local security guard, Wu Xianling was almost about to pee his pants.

"How many people died?!"

Looking at Master Wu's trembling body like autumn leaves in the wind and rain, Master Gao Chang knew that something big must have happened! It's not the first time he's experienced this kind of thing. Native and guest arms fights are often to contact each other with each other, call friends, call friends, and relatives and clans go together, and hundreds or thousands of people are dispatched at every turn.

Hoes, pitchforks, hunting forks, firewood knives, sickles, and other former production tools once they become weapons for fighting, the lethality is also amazing, and the damage caused is not a few.

"Judging from the documents sent by Kam Tin Teibao, it is clear that a large number of displaced people passed through Kam Tin, Yuen Long and other places to provoke the walled villages such as Wing Lung. Clashes broke out between the two sides, and residents of the surrounding villages came out to clash with the displaced people. There were about a thousand dead and wounded on both sides! There were hundreds of dead and wounded among the homeless people, and corpses could be seen everywhere on the road dozens of miles long from Kam Tin to Kowloon! ”

Hearing this, Master Gao admired the person who drafted this report document for Jintian Dibao, and he had a good knife and pen! Such a thing that is at least a weapon fight, under his brilliant pen, turned out to be caused by the anger of the residents of the besieged village, which can be regarded as a murder of passion, but even so, why chase and kill for dozens of miles? And dozens of walled villages have been dispatched? How can this be done if no one has been going back and forth before?!

Although it is said that it is a conflict between the newcomers led by Chen Tianhua and the natives led by the five major families. The more dead people on both sides, the better, so that they can change the embarrassing situation that their government decrees cannot be issued by the county government. However, when Lord Wu's sedan chair crossed the Shenzhen River, in the rice fields, ponds, grass, and banyan trees on both sides of the road, there were traces of untreated blood, broken clothes, and discarded debris everywhere. There were even bloodstained hoes, hunting forks, etc.

The further south you go. The more dense these things are!

In front of Yonglong Wai, dozens of young and strong corpses of the walled village were carried on stretchers and neatly placed in the open space in front of the walled village, and the corpses were covered with white cloth. Large chunks of blood stained the white cloth like a strange and bewitching flower.

"Please let the old lady be the master of the student's family!"

"Please ask the old parents to redress the grievances of the little people!"

"The pirates coerced the mob to attack and harass our Yonglong and other sieges. Slaughter the children of our people. Pray that Taizun will avenge my Deng clan! ”

Wu Wenming Zhixian couldn't tell what it was like in his heart, and he saw the arrogant party who was arrogant in front of him in the past and scolded Fang Xuan. also bowed his hands in front of him, naturally there was a feeling of raising his eyebrows, but when he saw the corpses collected by the Deng villagers on both sides of the road, he was awe-inspiring in his heart, he knew that Chen Tianhua was definitely not a person who was beaten and did not fight back, I am afraid this is just the beginning!

"This, this, you unite the villagers from all over the world and write a letter to come up, and the county will naturally deal with it at its discretion and judge it impartially. Also, no matter what those outcasts do, treating the dead so tyrannically is also detrimental to yin virtue, and you must accumulate some merit for your children and grandchildren! ”

He pointed to a few villagers in the distance who were venting their anger and hatred at several corpses with hoes and hunting forks, and signaled to several squires that they could not do such an insult to the corpses.

"The villagers are too resentful."

"Almost all the villages near the left are involved in this battle, large and small surrounding villages, or there are dozens of dead and wounded, or more than ten dead and wounded, no village does not wear filial piety! It is no wonder that the tribesmen vented their anger at these mobs. To tell you the truth, the lone mob, as well as the wounded and captured, have all been executed by us to comfort the souls of heaven. Several children of the Deng family said very easily, and there was no joy on their white faces, as if they were not talking about the tragedy of the dead and wounded, but the joy of an outing.

Since the words have been said about this, Lord Wu naturally has no interest in going to the dinner party invited by the five families, and under the pretext that some affairs have to be handled by the county government, he beckoned to go back to his home, and fled as if leaving this Shura field.

When Kankan returned to the county office, he saw a group of men standing on horseback in the empty field in front of the yamen. All of them are dressed in fat jackets, with a cuirass on the outside, and an eight-petal hat and iron-tipped helmet on their heads, I don't know where the officers and soldiers came from, but everyone has horses and armor, I don't know which adult's standard camp is so elite?

"Wu Zhi County, it's been a long time!"

The one who took the lead turned out to be Chen Tianhua, who came to give him money that day!

I saw that Chen Tianhua's body was covered with dust, and there were traces of blackened smoke and fire on his robe, and there were small holes burned out in several inconspicuous places. The two dozen or so men behind him were also dressed like this, and some of them had the edge of the cotton cloth that wrapped the wound on their head.

Seeing this scene, Wu Wenming secretly exclaimed, "Bitter! ”

This guy turned out to be a Ming official army, and he thought he was colluding with maritime merchants to smuggle and sell all kinds of goods and make huge profits! What kind of virtue the officials and soldiers in various towns are now, Wu County Ling knows very clearly. I'm afraid this Jintian thing will not end well! The Deng family is no longer a bull in Xin'an County, and no matter how many years it has been a local snake, if it provokes such a character, I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape justice! (Phew!) Is there justice in all parts of the Ming Dynasty today? I'm afraid that it will be difficult to escape the fate of the clan's ruin! )

"Wu Zhixian, there is something unclear below, and I plan to ask you for a lesson or two."

Inviting Chen Tianhua into his study, Wu Wenming politely invited Chen Tianhua to take a seat, he knew very well in his heart that the person in front of him was definitely from Xingshi to ask for guilt.

"Is this Xin'an County the land of the Ming Dynasty? Why was my person who went to Tai Po to survey the terrain besieged by the villagers, and three were killed and eleven wounded? When our troops led the people from all over the country to pass through Kam Tin, Yuen Long and other places, they were besieged by various villages, and they suffered heavy casualties? ”

"On the law of the Ming Dynasty, the squires formed a village, organized and trained the battalion without authorization, attacked the passing good people and the official army, and killed and injured more than 1,100 good people, including many old and weak women and children. Killed more than 100 officers and soldiers. More than 300 people were killed and wounded. What is this?! ”

Finished! It turned out that they were attacking the official army! Hearing the worst news in his ears, Wu Zhixian sat on the Taishi's chair, not knowing what to do.

However, Master Gao, who was accompanying him on the side, was quite able to calm down, "This, this military master, I don't know what happened to the change in Jintian?" ”

Chen Tianhua snorted, and glanced at it, and this master was not a good person.

That day. After getting the military information sent by Liang Kuan. Chen Tianhua knew that something was wrong, so he sent heralds to shout orders along the march that was more than ten miles long.

"Speed up! Be sure to camp by the sea before sunset today! ”

The South Chinese soldiers who accompanied Chen Tianhua in the north naturally said that it was enough to take a step, but. Those who had just joined the exiles were a little struggling. Although try to take a step. But it doesn't increase the speed much. The team continued to move slowly.

After a lot of effort, I finally crossed the Shenzhen River, and walked dozens of miles forward to reach the seaside. But. The situation here made all the South Central Army dare not slack off.

Along the main road, the surrounding villages are surrounded by drawbridges, the gates are closed, and the walls are full of young men with weapons in their hands, eyeing the people passing here.

From time to time, someone waved his weapon at the people walking on the road a few times, making a threatening sound.

"Mother, I want to drink water!"

A child walked sweating profusely and kept looking up to ask his mother for water.

My mother looked around a little embarrassed, not only did she not have the iron kettle that Nanzhong Army used to hold water, but she didn't even have a slightly neater clay pot. The mother and son were all exchanged by the Nanzhong Army for a desperate knife from a group of rebels. There is nothing to grow except for clothing that can barely cover the body.

"Mother, there's a pond over there!"

The older children had sharp eyes and spotted the pond outside Wing Lung Wai.

"Someone is defiling our pond in Wing Lung Wai!"

I don't know who it is, but I saw a group of homeless people led by the mother and son drinking the water in the pond greedily next to the pond, and loudly clamoring on the wall.

Although most of the ponds next to the fenced houses are used to prevent drought or prevent fire, it is not a big deal to occasionally pass by and take a few sips. But in such an atmosphere, it suddenly became a spark that ignited a powder keg!

"Get the outsiders out! Xin'an is the Xin'an of Xin'an people! ”

"Kill! Kill all the outsiders! ”

"Get rid of them! Tai Po is our forehead! ”

Someone lit the great general placed on the wall.

There was a loud noise, and more than a dozen pieces of dirt splashed up next to the pond, and the frightened people drinking at the water's edge let out bursts of exclamations and ran in all directions.

"Don't mess around! Don't mess around! ”

In the ranks of the displaced people, the armor commanders who are responsible for organizing and suppressing the bullets are intercepting the people who are in disarray.

As if it was a signal, with the first sound of the cannon in Yonglong Wai, the surrounding Taikang Wai, Nan Wai, Bei Wai and Xin Wai, Yaqian Wai, Shanxia Wai, Jicun Wai, Sheung Shui Wai, Fanling Wai, Lao Wai, Ma Wat Wai, Yongning Wai, Lingjiao Wai, Jilong Wai, Pingshan Shangzhang Wai or cannon response, or open the gate of the enclosure, a large number of young people wielding all kinds of weapons or farm tools rushed out of the enclosure shouting and killing sound, and directly rushed into the marching team to kill.

Blood splattered.

The crying was incessant.

The screams shook the wild!

"Ah Gong!"

On the wall of Jiqingwei, a young child of the Deng family excitedly reported the situation to Deng Yuanxun, who was sitting on a recliner made of bamboo and rattan basking in the sun.

"The cannon sound over there in Long Yuetou has stopped, the shouting and killing are continuous, my Deng family has rushed out of the five surrounding and six villages there, and the uncles are doing a good job over there!"

"That's it! Ah Gong, when are we going to go out and kill for a while? As we all saw just now, this group of people has a lot of baggage on their vehicles, and they are all ill-gotten gains from robbery, so it's a pity to let them go like this! ”

Under the wall, more than 200 members of the Deng clan formed a group training, holding various swords and guns in their hands in the shade and waiting, among their weapons, there are many knives and funeral guns and other products produced in the south.

"Alright! Go ahead! But remember, you can't hurt the bamboo shoots, don't do desperate things, it's okay to snatch the baggage, it's okay to kill those homeless, but try not to kill and kill those soldiers. lest you get into trouble. ”

Deng Yuanxun is an old fritter who has been in the world for decades and has drawn a clear path for his children and grandchildren. But will this group of people be able to listen?

With a roar, more than 200 Deng family regiments practiced and killed Jiqingwei and went straight to the road.

On the main road, Chen Tianhua's marching team was like a giant python, besieged and bitten by dozens of ants, and there were bursts of shouting and crying along the way from time to time. It was the last wail of a group of displaced people as they were besieged and slaughtered.

"My lord! This will not work! If we stay here for a long time, I'm afraid we'll kill and wound more than half of us! ”

Battalion officer Deng Xianda was much more experienced on the battlefield than Chen Tianhua, and he rushed to Chen Tianhua's side with red eyes. Shouted loudly to him.

"What do you say to do?!"

"Bring our team together. Suppress this group of dog thieves with firearms, and keep the spearmen in front and the sword and shield soldiers on both flanks. Rush out as much as you want! Otherwise. We are on the road. Sooner or later, they'll be drained up! ”

The mournful sound of the brass horn sounded very clearly in the chaotic and noisy battlefield.

"Assemble!"

The officers beckoned to their subordinates, Ding Zhuang, and Ding Zhuang among the homeless people, "The sword and shield soldiers are on both wings." The pikemen are in front. Zhuang Ding threw all your rags to Lao Tzu, and didn't want you and your wife and children to die, so he took a stick, and if someone rushed in, he would knock Lao Tzu to death! ”

Soon, clusters of chaotic teams that were impacted, under the organization of the South Central Army, which each served as an escort and leader, began to counterattack. Soon, there were dead bodies and screaming and wailing in pools of blood on the road. However, the roles of the slaughter and the slaughtered are reversed.

The more than 300 gunners under Chen Tianhua's centralized control were clashes on both sides of the road, bombarding groups of villagers who tried to rush from the walled village onto the main road with gunpowder and projectiles, and one after another villagers were knocked to the ground by the projectiles and rolled into the paddy fields.

"My lord! My lord! ”

Liang Kuan's body was immediately splashed with blood, and he didn't know if it was his own or someone else's, the horse's nostrils were panting, and he rushed to Chen Tianhua to take the reins.

"Please speed up your march, or go to the Kowloon Walled City first, the sailor's brothers have arrived at the seashore, and there are ships there to meet you!"

The news spread quickly among the crowd, and the morale of the people to fight forward was even more aroused, and the people rushed towards the south, the direction of the Kowloon Walled City, like the angry tide of the embankment.

However, the elites of the Deng family, the Hou family, the Wen family, the Liao family, and the Peng family, with a group training of about 1,000 people, rushed up from the side and cut the southbound team into two sections!

Seeing the five flags fluttering in the queue of the other party, Chen Tianhua's heart calmed down. Fighting in formation, the South Central Army has never been afraid, but today's nearly 10,000 displaced people are gone, and they have to escort more than 100 carts to rush out! These burdens are the soldiers' salaries and the harvest of this trip to the north!

"What's the name of this place?"

"Back to my lord! This place is called Tsuen Wan! The mountain next to us is the mountain range that extends south from Tai Mo Shan, called Jinshan and Aobei Mountain, and after Jinshan and Aobei Mountain, it is the jurisdiction of Kowloon Walled City! ”

After passing the Butterfly Valley, he entered the Kowloon Peninsula in the geographical sense, and when he arrived here, Chen Tianhua let go of his heart. As long as they arrive at the beach, the sailors can contact them with gunboats at any time, and the team composed of this group of local tyrants is not a problem.

"Brothers! Lined up! Let this group of turtles see what a real team is that wins all battles! ”

"Roar!"

Although the physical consumption was huge, and the soldiers were all out of breath, from their mental state, Chen Tianhua could still see that arrogance and domineering. This is the temperament that only people who have experienced battlefield fighting can have.

Chen Tianhua rode his horse to the front of the team and looked at the thousands of people in the family regiment of the five major families more than 100 steps away. Under the banners embroidered with their respective surnames, the regiments held rattan plaques in their left hands, knives in their right hands, or guns in both hands, and there were bursts of whispered shouts and commotions from time to time in the ranks.

"Humph! The rabble! ”

Chen Tianhua, who has seen many teams, made an evaluation in his heart when he saw the urgency of the five teams to practice and fight. According to the regulations and requirements of the South Central Army, it is strictly forbidden to speak during the formation.

However, it is indeed difficult for a strong man to evaluate this group of regimental training based on the standards, rules and regulations of the South Chinese Army.

He turned his head to look at his team, although he continued to march and fight for dozens of miles, but by this short stay and queue, many people had gradually adjusted their breathing, trying to recover as much as possible, and accumulating some capital for the upcoming fight.

Several wounded sword and shield soldiers handed their long knives to the uninjured robes, "Your knife is blunt, my knife is better, you take it!" ”

Some of the pikemen tore strips of cloth from their clothes, tore the strips of cloth thinly, and tied them vigorously to the arms that had become sore, and weakened due to excessive consumption. Wait for Lao Tzu! ”

And the thousands of homeless people behind the Nanzhong Army have also changed from lambs that have just been slaughtered to brute bulls with the power to fight at this moment. In front of you is the last pass to a good life without food and clothing, as long as you knock over these vicious dogs in the way, then there will be steaming rice and meat dishes waiting for you tonight! The homeless people began to take off their shirts that had turned into fishing nets, and picked up the wooden sticks dropped by the people passing in front of them from the ground.
