Verse 42 opens the Pandora's box (5, ask for subscription
The guards didn't care about spitting on Xingzi, and hurriedly said, "My lord, run." The thieves have entered the city. ”
"Huh?"
Zhizhou sat directly on the ground at this time, and then shouted: "Impossible." Wasn't they still outside the city a moment ago? How did you break through the city in such a long time? ”
He said to himself, "Didn't the city gate close in time?" This incompetent prisoner, the official has long thought that he "
The guards were very loyal, and although they hated not to flee immediately, they still cared for Zhizhou.
"Sir, don't talk about it. The fire burns the eyebrows, and if you ink it again, your life will be gone. ”
Zhizhou hurriedly got up and said, "Yes, yes, you are right." Those waste soldiers will only make money and pat their ass, and they will not be able to stop the outlaws and thieves. ”
Hurriedly rushed back to the back office, didn't care about packing up the belongings of the secret room, only took the most precious small box of treasures, pulled the wife and children to the back door, ran into the carriage, and ran away under the escort of the guards in the house.
Zhao Yue learned that Liang Zhongshu was famous, and when he saw Li Cheng chasing the thief, he guessed Liang Zhongshu's conspiracy, and took advantage of the situation to calculate and play big, breaking the disguised blockade of Cangzhou by Shandong and the Daimyofu.
It is also a rehearsal of a golden invasion to see how rotten the government and the army are, and to remind the ruling class to stop being too cruel and mean to persecute the people, and to remind the people not to be too docile and cowardly, because the government you rely on for support will not be able to protect you when the catastrophe comes.
Since the people of Huyi Mountain are allowed to fight Bozhou City, it is natural to make internal arrangements in advance.
When the Honshu Governor led a few members of the Honshu Metropolitan Governor to gallop towards the direction of the city wall, he suddenly shot crossbow arrows from the second floor of a restaurant on the side of the street, and the small arrows that were only 20 centimeters long were extremely powerful and fast, and the Metropolitan Governor and the general's personal soldiers were shot into hedgehogs on the spot.
Today, only one gate was opened, but the thieves could not close it.
More than a dozen of the people who fled to the city suddenly dropped their carts to block the city gates, and drew knives from the debris on the carts to kill the guards. Several large black fist balls rolled into the feet of the officers and soldiers who rushed at them, and exploded with a bang. There is no one in the cave of the city gate. Even if you can get in. The officers and men were also frightened by the thunderous things and the lethality of the sky.
How far to run, how far to run.
The robbers had screamed and slaughtered, and the front horse team rushed into the city in a blink of an eye. And Bozhou is a small state, with only 1,000 forbidden troops and 2,000 coolie troops, even if they are brave and tenacious, they will be crushed into slag by tens of thousands of crazy robbers. What's more, the main generals are dead, and the chief officer is just a chattering literati, and he is not there yet.
Officers and soldiers are like sheep that have lost their heads. Fully exposed the essence of a plate of loose sand, and compared with the strength of the robbers, Xingsan fled in the opposite direction of the thief, and fled outside the city, but was blocked by the robbers who were spread outside the three gates.
Zhao Gui at the North Gate, Ma Ling at the West Gate, and Sun Shouhe at the East Gate each brought 10,000 horses and shouted to the people who fled from the city: "Lao Tzu only wants to rob, and he doesn't like to kill people." Surrender and kneel without killing. Those who dare to flee die. ”
After the unbelievers were hacked to death, the others fell to their knees in horror.
The robbers actually kept their word and did not kill people again, but only collected all the knives and guns discarded by the officers and soldiers and exchanged them in the hands of the unarmed robbers, and the rich officials who mixed with the common people were singled out and knelt alone.
After all, the Zhizhou family did not escape, and in despair, they did not forget the pain of being robbed of the treasure.
Hua Rong, who was in charge of the siege of the city, saw that a fortified city could be breached so easily, and saw that the officers and soldiers were not heroic but who escaped faster in times of danger, and he was shocked and angry instead of happy.
Gongyue said that Song and Han were rotten and weak. The bloodbath is not far off. He will always be skeptical.
Such a wealthy Great Song Dynasty has hundreds of millions of hard-working people. How can it be easily broken?
Now he believed, and he died.
There are still heroes among the officers and soldiers.
The two junior colonels with more than a dozen subordinates roaring at the rebels with red eyes rushed down from the city wall, facing the bandits pouring in like a tide, without hesitation, their eyes flashing with the tragic despair of sacrificing their lives for righteousness.
This may be the only loyal and brave man in this city. How precious.
Hua Rong didn't want to kill them, so he shouted to the guards: "Take it." ”
He urged his horse to rush forward, swinging his gun like lightning, and knocked down the two colonels in an instant, and knocked down a few soldiers who rushed in front.
The thirty Liangshan amphibious elites sent by Zhao Yue to serve as Hua Rong's personal guards were originally mixed among the bandits. That is, the soldiers who followed Ma Lingye to capture Erlong Mountain captured the colonel, scattered a few fishing nets, and trapped the only dozen brave soldiers
Wang Feibao, the other main general of the siege, did not react much to the fragility of the officers and soldiers, so he just killed them.
He was originally from an official and military background, and he did not know how many times he had fought with officers and soldiers in robbery and anti-encirclement and suppression, so he was very clear about the moral character of officials and soldiers.
He didn't think it was all to blame for the officers and soldiers, who were unrighteous and spineless, and were afraid of death.
One side of the landscape raises the same person.
Shandong men are simple, obedient, loyal, hardworking, tenacious and enthusiastic, and have been heroes since ancient times, and they have never been courageless. If their humble demands for subsistence and dignity were met, they would never be the case today.
The martial arts of the Great Song Dynasty are really unbearable. It was even worse to be a soldier.
People just want to live better, like individuals. The court and officials don't treat us as human beings, why do we have to work hard for them?
Loyal and patriotic?
What is the use? Can you make me live like a person?
This is the general psychology of officers and soldiers.
It's the ruling class that's rotten. The people below have lost their spiritual backbone.
The robbers in the city, who lacked weapons, first seized the arsenal and equipped themselves with the stored swords, guns, shields, and armor. Those who knew how to shoot arrows also took some bows and arrows. The rest of the things are put here for good, waiting for the owner of the village to deal with it.
Then, under the leadership of a group of mysterious people who appeared in the city to answer them, they were divided into several teams and went separately to rob the officials and gentry, and they were precise and fast, and the officials and gentry were cut down by evil slaves. The gold and silver treasures that were found soon piled up.
Robbery, the government treasury has never been the point.
There wasn't much money there. The granaries were often empty enough to starve rats. The money is in the bureaucratic gentry's house
Zhao Yue and Zhao Fu, who were also veiled, stood in the lobby of the state government, listened to the reports from all walks of life, and said: "A robber should look like a robber." Take sticks and hoes, that's farming. If you don't defeat Bozhou, grab military weapons, and arm your subordinates, how can you break through one level after another? ”
If you rob Bozhou, you can only equip four or five thousand people. Of the 40,000 robbers, nearly 20,000 were unarmed.
Regarding the robbery of corrupt officials and inferior gentry, Zhao Yue did not even let Zhao Fu stipulate that he was not allowed to commit adultery and insult women.
Those with vested interests do not treat the people as human beings, bully and abuse their fathers and elders, and humiliate and bully their wives and daughters, so do not expect the people to treat them well when they succeed in resisting.
What's more, this is a group of real bandits who have been improvised and difficult to restrain effectively.
A good person who rarely appears in the gate of the mansion, and he has the Cangzhao people in the city to guide the way and escort the battle to protect one or two. More than 20 of these people have been hiding in the city for many years in various guises, and they know Bozhou well.
Zhao Fu also strictly ordered to obey these people.
Most of the robbers who entered the city were the original team of Huyi Mountain. It's not that the moral quality of this gang is higher than that of other robbers, but that they are loyal and obedient. Zhao Fu's nickname for the Earthquake Mountain Tiger was not called in vain.
