Chapter 1089: Jiangnan Rebellion (3)
Although the speed of Jiangnan erosion was beyond Yang Feng's expectations, it was even more unexpected for those local gentry in Jiangnan.
These gentry, who have been well-dressed since birth, can't remember the last time they heard about Bingge, it seems that it was in the Jiajing period a hundred years ago, but these things are too far away for them, so far away that they have already regarded them as legends.
These gentry, who were accustomed to living with clothes and food, suddenly found that they were so vulnerable in the face of those hungry people who had lost their land, lost their food, and raised their knives and guns in order to survive, and in less than a month, Runingfu, Huangzhou, and De'an Fu, had fallen one after another.
Especially when Li Zicheng, who was known as King Chuang, shouted the slogan "King Chuang is here and will not pay for food", those farmers who usually looked extremely docile almost changed into a different person, and immediately turned into bloodthirsty beasts, roaring and pounced on them.
"Folks...... Run...... The thieves are coming! ”
The once beautiful Taihu County has now become a hell on earth, and countless rogues in ragged clothes with red scarves on their heads, armed with various weapons and even farm tools, have poured into the county like a tide.
They wantonly chased and killed the people on the street, and the honest and honest characteristics that originally appeared in them have long been gone, and from this moment on, only tyranny and hideousness linger in their hearts.
"Hahaha...... Sons, kill me! Kill all these court lackeys who refuse to submit to my righteous army, and another team of people will surround all those big families for me, if they are willing to open the door and surrender on their knees, they can spare their dogs, and if they refuse to open the door, they will all be killed! ”
In the middle of the street, a man wearing armor and a red scarf on his head and looking very big shouted wildly with a ghost-headed knife, and behind him, countless rogues also joined in the ranks of burning and plundering.
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
In one inner house, dozens of women, children, and children were hiding in a room, listening to the violent impact outside, all of them trembling with fear and turning pale.
I don't know how long later, I heard a violent collapse outside, as if the door outside had been slammed open, and then there was a burst of cheers, followed by a burst of screams, and these women and children were all dead, they knew that the guards outside and their fathers, brothers and husbands were being slaughtered by the rogues, and it was soon their turn.
Unfortunately, their premonition was correct, and it was not long before the shouts of the rogues were heard outside, accompanied by the sound of hurried and messy footsteps, and soon the door was slammed open, and countless rogues swarmed in, and when they saw the women and children shivering in the house, they all let out bursts of cheers, and rushed towards them one by one with red eyes.
By dawn the next day, the entire county town of Taihu had become a hell on earth, full of burning houses, corpses, and sneers and wails.
Yuan Datou walked out of the room contentedly while putting on his clothes, ignoring the faint crying in the room behind him.
Yuan Datou's original name was Yuan Dog, because the head is particularly big, so he has the nickname of Yuan Datou when he is small, even after joining the Liukou, this nickname has been with him, because he is fierce and dares to charge and fight when he fights, so he is quite appreciated by Li Guo, and soon he was promoted from a miscellaneous soldier to a lieutenant (equivalent to the guerrilla of the Ming army).
Since Li Yan joined Li Zicheng's command, he immediately showed his value.
In the past, the rogues, including Gao Yingxiang, could actually be said to be a group of rabble, and there was no military discipline at all.
Among the rogues, except for King Chuang, who is equivalent to the leader of the martial arts alliance, the others are all big and small, and when they fight, they are a honeycomb, and when they are defeated, they are also fleeing in a swarm, and their mode of fighting is not much different from the gangsters on the street.
First of all, Li Yan suggested to Li Zicheng that the military system should be reformed, and the whole army should be divided into five battalions: Zhongji, Left Spoke (Auxiliary), Right Wing, Forward, and Rear Strength, each battalion is commanded by a general, and the commander of the general is divided into official positions such as captain, brigade commander, department general, and post commander.
In this way, the thieves finally got rid of the serious habits of the rivers and lakes in the past, and gradually developed towards normalization, although it is still very imperfect, but it is much stronger than the previous chaotic model.
Li Zicheng was very happy about this, but in the process of promoting regularization, Li Yan also offended many people, especially those rogues in the old battalion, who were used to being free and easy, and they became more and more disgusted with the military discipline formulated by Li Yan, and some people even ran to Li Zicheng to openly oppose the increasingly strict military discipline.
And Yuan Datou is the one who opposes it the most.
He has always been known for his short temper and is most disgusted with today's military discipline, but in the past, Li Zicheng, Li Guo and others suppressed him and did not dare to be too presumptuous, but this time when he led the army alone, he finally felt free and immediately issued an order not to seal the knife for three days after taking Taihu County, with the issuance of this order, the people of Taihu County immediately suffered, just one night, the people who died tragically under the knife of the Liukou reached thousands, and the women who were ruined by the Liukou are countless.
The satisfied man walked out of the room and came to the courtyard, and saw that the courtyard was still quietly empty, and there was not even a single sentry.
Seeing this, his anger immediately surged: "Damn, are all people dead, why can't anyone see it, get out of here!" ”
After a while, I saw a disheveled rogue running out of a room inside, and when he saw Yuan Datou, he quickly nodded and said to him: "Head, what do you call the villain?" ”
"Where the fuck did you die? What about the people out there? Yuan Datou took out the horsewhip from his waist and whipped it over, scolding while smoking: "If someone came to attack last night, we would all be fucking ghosts, do you know?" ”
Seeing the whip coming, this rogue didn't dare to dodge, so he could only bear it stiffly, only to see him smile and say: "Head, don't worry, now this Taihu City is full of our people, and those waste soldiers in Jiangnan are too late to hide from us, who is not long-sighted and dares to sneak attack us?" ”
The unjust big head stared at Liukou without speaking, and he kept seeing that he was furious in his heart and said: "If the Jiang Ningjun comes, do you think they dare?" ”
"This ......"
Liu Kou paused for a moment, and then said: "No, the so-called killing is not a nod to the ground, haven't we already avoided them, how can they not ignore the righteousness of the rivers and lakes, right?" ”
"What the fuck ......"
The unjust head was angry, raised the leather whip in his hand and was about to pull it over, when he heard a rush of footsteps outside, and a thief ran in from outside and said in a panic: "Head...... Oh no, the spies came to report, they found Jiang Ningjun's night non-collection dozens of miles away from us......"
