The southerners were imprisoned as dogs, and they were born as slaves.

With his ambition to hate the Snow Cliff Mountain, he opened the sky with blood to sacrifice Wu Mu.

After Liu Futong's generous speech, the bloody nature of the people in the audience who had been suppressed for many years was stimulated, and their grief was turned into strength, and in a blink of an eye, a morale-rich civilian army had been initially formed.

At the beginning of May of the eleventh year of Zhizheng (1351 AD), Liu Futong and others officially revolted in Bailuzhuang, Yingshang County, opening the curtain for the era of the rise of the heroes.

Two days later, Liu Futong led the Mingjiao people non-stop, and finally arrived at the outskirts of Yingzhou City, and after reining in the war horse, he waved his hand, and the rebels behind him hid in the woods and did not move forward.

At this time, at the gate of Yingzhou City, a small group of Han troops was making routine inspections, all listless, and they did not expect the upcoming disaster at all.

After the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty, due to ethnic discrimination and oppression, the army was mostly composed of four parts: the Mongol army, which was composed of Mongols including some Semu people; The Tanma Red Army, at first, refers to the forward, heavy or distant troops composed of elites drawn from the Mongolian tribes, and gradually also joined by the Semu people and Han Chinese; The Han army, that is, the army composed of the Han people in the former Jin Dynasty area and some Jurchens and Khitans, also included the early reorganization of the Southern Song army; The new annexed army, that is, the original Song army that was reorganized before and after the destruction of the Southern Song Dynasty.

These soldiers said that they were patrolling, but in fact they were just going through the motions, and they simply gathered under the city gate to chat.

A younger soldier said disapprerovingly: "The hanging corpse on this city gate has finally been taken off, otherwise it will be unlucky to look at it every day, Lord Zhizhou is really whimsical, and he wants to use Han Shantong's corpse as bait to lure the people of the Ming Sect to take revenge, who has the courage to die in vain?" ”

Bing Youzi, who looked a little old, sighed: "Those people were forced to join the Ming Sect because they couldn't eat enough, otherwise who would want to kill their heads?" ”

The topic immediately attracted the interest of others.

"Tut-tut, I have to say that our leader is really good at stealing merit, obviously that Han Shantong bit his tongue and committed suicide, he went up to make up for it, saying that he killed people after a big battle, this time he picked up such a big bargain, do you think the court will directly promote him to a Daru Huachidang?"

One person sneered and said: "Don't forget that the leader is also Han, it is possible to give a reward of silver, when have you ever seen a Han person make Daru Huachi?" ”

"Alas, we, the Han soldiers, are born with a life of suffering, don't be foolish and expect to make a fortune."

The youngest soldier complained, "Tell me, how are we born to suffer?" Everywhere you have to suffer from the anger of these Mongols. ”

The leader of the soldier immediately reprimanded: "Be quiet! Don't want to live anymore? Han Shantong's body has just been taken off, is it possible that you also want to be hung to the city gate? ”

The young soldier thought about the tragic situation of Han Shantong's corpse, shuddered, and muttered, "Forget it, it's better to be alive than dead." ”

The elder soldier sighed and said abruptly: "Damn, Lao Tzu has to save some money, and when the time comes, I want to think of a way to replace my son out of the military household." ”

The military implements the military household system, and the households of those who are classified as serving in the army are called military households, and the fathers and sons are successively inherited from generation to generation, and they are not allowed to leave the country. There is a special authority, called "Oulu". All the issuance of Ding Zhuang, the replacement of the old and the weak, the supply of military supplies, the support of the old and young of the conscripted soldiers, and the handling of civil disputes between military households are all directly managed by the Oulu government and are not under the jurisdiction of the local roads, prefectures and counties.

Today, the various systems are no longer as they were when they were first established, and under the oppression of Mongolian and Semu officers at all levels, the military household system has almost collapsed, and the Oulu system has provided convenient conditions for the ruling class to oppress the Han Chinese. As a result, the Han army, like ordinary Han people, was oppressed all the year round and did not dare to resist, so they could only accept their orders to join the army or find a way to escape from the status of a military household.

The few people chatting didn't know that Han Yan'er and the others had already entered the city in batches disguised as merchants and ordinary people, and ambushed in the wine shop near the city gate.

And in the woods a few hundred meters away from the city gate, Wen Xuan and Han Lingyue also disguised themselves as ordinary sect members and mixed in with Liu Futong's team.

Han Lingyue was a little worried about Liu Futong's decision, "Wouldn't it be too risky to directly capture Yingzhou City?" ”

Wen Xuan replied lightly: "This is where this Marshal Liu is clever, although this move is risky, but it is a surprise, as long as you take the state city in one fell swoop, you can climb the heights and shout, then there will be a large number of people to respond, and the neighboring villages and counties can also be collected." On the contrary, if you attack the villages and counties first, you will give the Yuan soldiers time to prepare, and it will be difficult to capture Yingzhou City. ”

After hearing this, Han Lingyue's heart was a little relieved, the more time she spent with Wen Xuan, the more she admired Wen Xuan's intelligence and temperament, and after the death of her brother Han Shantong, she secretly regarded Wen Xuan as the person she trusted the most, and became dependent on him, and gradually left behind her long-held identity as Sect Leader Li.

Han Lingyue is such a smart and beautiful beauty, any man can't help but be tempted when he sees it, and Wen Xuan is naturally no exception, especially when she thinks of her pitiful life experience like her in her previous life, her love and pity for her are even more palpable.

Fortunately, the two had already had a marriage contract, so Wen Xuan would not show the embarrassing appearance of the beginning of love, and took care of Han Lingyue as a matter of course.

Although the road ahead is at a loss, but fortunately, with a beautiful woman by her side, Wen Xuan's heart has gradually become more and more calm, and he calmly makes countermeasures according to the development of the current situation.

Zhou Xian, Mu Ying and other family members have been safely escorted to the sea, and Mu Chong also brought back the news that Su Sheng and Fang Guozhen had successfully dealt with Tai Buhua.

Wen Xuan saw that Fang Guozhen and the others could already take charge on their own, so he focused all his energy on finding his father's whereabouts and finding out the real culprit who killed Han Shantong.

When he learned that Liu Futong and others were about to rebel, Wen Xuan immediately decided to go their separate ways, and accompanied Han Lingyue into Liu Futong's army to ensure the smooth uprising of Xuanwutang, while Mu Chong led the shadow guards of Night Shadow to try to get close to Du Zundao and find out Wen Xianzhong's whereabouts.

"I'm sorry, but I got you involved." Han Lingyue suddenly said apologetically.

Wen Xuan said softly: "There are some things that can't be avoided just by hiding, even if I didn't promise to help you fulfill my brother's last wish to overthrow the Yuan court, I am a member of the Wen family after all, and sooner or later I will have to get involved." ”

Han Lingyue turned his head to look at Wen Xuan's eyes and said, "You and your brother are really two diametrically opposed people, and they are somewhat similar to Sect Master Li. ”

Wen Xuan curled the corners of her mouth and smiled, and said pointedly: "I won't let anyone hurt my woman." ”

Han Lingyue's face turned red when she heard this, and she silently turned her head back.
