Poor Kong Zhenyun was forced to get on the thief ship with an aggrieved face.

He had no other choice.

If you don't get on the thief ship, there will be nothing, he knows very well how much money the gentry in the city have, and the citizens are doomed to nothing, and then the citizens, who have nowhere to vent their anger, will be instigated by these bastards to use him, the president of the Townsfolk Association, as a punching bag.

Half an hour later, in front of a mansion.

"No silver!"

"Tell me, where is your money?"

……

In the angry roar, an old countryman was dragged out into the street, and in the mansion behind him, there was a woman's cry, and those angry citizens were carrying everything they could move out, all clothes, jewelry, food, tables, chairs and benches were moved out like crazy. And the old villager was pressed down on the street, bowing his head and not saying a word, letting the angry curses of the surrounding citizens, and some people grabbed him and beat him, and in the blink of an eye he was already blue and swollen.

There was no silver.

Or that the money that the gentry in the city could find was completely inconsistent with their status, and it was impossible to honor the white slips they had offered.

And it's not just one.

Almost all gentry families are about the same.

There was also a small amount of gold and silver in their mansions, and none of the riches of the legendary rich country could be found, and even at this time some people had begun to dig three feet into the ground, but they found nothing.

There is no silver.

"Clamp the stick, lift the clamp out of the stick!"

Luo Hui roared.

Immediately after that, someone ran to lift the clamping stick.

But there was no need for it, and then the housekeeper knelt down in the midst of the beating.

"I recruit, I recruit!

The old man's silver was shipped to Nanchang half a month ago, and the total of this house is only a few hundred taels.

The big families in this city are almost the same, and the silver has been transported to other places to save money, or to those children and grandchildren who are officials and businessmen abroad, there is no silver in Quzhou City, and even most of the silver in those money houses are transported away, and it is useless for you to look for it, and there is no silver in each family. At this time, who knows what will happen in the end, the battle in front is barely resisting, or is it because the Jingnan army has not all arrived, if the 100,000 troops had all arrived in Yanzhou, it would have been opened a long time ago, at this time, if there is silver, don't you hurry away and wait for the Jingnan army to come and raid the house? ”

He said.

"Liars, kill these liars!"

"Give me back the money!"

……

An angry roar rang out instantly, followed by a frenzied crowd of citizens, and the old townsman was quickly overwhelmed by them, countless fists and big feet fell on him.

"You Diao people, my son is leading troops outside, you dare to beat me, you dare to beat me, wait for him to come back and kill your whole family!"

He howled through the crowd.

But at this time, who will listen to him, the citizens who are already mad, want to stone him to death now, if the money can't be taken out, then take their lives to pay off the debt, the unlucky townsman in their beating immediately can't hold on, the howl soon turned into begging for mercy, but the begging for mercy is gone, at this time they are all mad, who cares about him begging for mercy, his voice is getting weaker and weaker, and finally he is dying in the beating.

And such a scene is staged everywhere in the whole city of Quzhou.

The gentry, who had long since transferred their wealth, could not come up with any cash in money, and in fact did not even have much grain and other valuable things.

Obviously, they didn't even have enough food to spare.

After all, it can be transported from Jiangxi.

At this time, Jiangxi shipped more than 5 million stone of grain every year, and a large part of it was transported eastward through Quzhou to Zhejiang and even Huizhou, especially Huizhou currently has to buy grain from Jiangxi almost every year. These village sages have been planning for a long time, and even most of their children and grandchildren are not there, either leading troops on the front line, or working as officials or doing business in other places, basically they and their female dependents stay at home.

A clever person has more than one plan.

They all understand this.

The citizens who knew that they had been deceived had nowhere to vent their anger in their hearts, and of course they had to beat them up to vent their anger.

But after the fight......

A group of citizens who were still angry began to calm down when they watched the old townsman who was angry.

"Folks, we have to prepare for war!"

Luo Hui said solemnly.

The citizens looked at each other.

Indeed, one of the two sons of this old guy is an official in the field, and the other is fighting in Shouchang with a regimental training, and he will definitely kill him when he knows the news.

"What are you afraid of, the Jingnan army has hit Shouchang, and it is only a hundred miles away from here, not to mention that the 100,000 troops of Yingguo Gong have been killed, and those tens of thousands of regiments are not just chopping melons and vegetables, as long as we hold on to Quzhou for a few days, we can naturally wait for the Jingnan army! At that time, we also divided the land, we shouldn't have followed those people in Xu Du in the first place, if we had welcomed the Duke of Yingguo earlier, there would have been no such thing! ”

A citizen shouted.

"Yes, stick to Quzhou and wait for the army of the Duke of Yingguo!"

"Fight them to the end!"

……

The citizens immediately perked up.

There is no other choice at this time.

Besides, in the current situation, these regimental exercises in Zhejiang will definitely not be able to defeat the Jingnan army, and it is inevitable that the latter will open Yanzhou, it is nothing more than time, but the external supply of regimental training is cut off here, and how long can the regimental training last without food and ammunition? As long as you stick to Quzhou, I'm afraid that in ten days and a half months, Yanzhou's side will be opened, and then 100,000 Jingnan troops, and they are all soldiers from Zhejiang, will come to save them.

There is no doubt about that.

Because there are thousands of children in this city who are in the Jingnan army.

There were 3,000 young men in Xi'an County who participated in the attack on Nanjing, and more than three-quarters of the people in Nanjing surrendered, which means that at least 2,000 young men in the city were following the Jingnan army back.

In that case, don't think about anything.

"Stick to Quzhou and fight to the end!"

Luo Hui roared.

Immediately after that, he turned his head, and Kong Zhenyun, who was not far behind, looked at him without tears.

"Dr. Kong, let's all listen to you!"

Luo Hui roared.

"Yes, let's all listen to Dr. Kong, let Dr. Kong call the shots for us, and let Dr. Kong take us to stay in Quzhou!"

He Fu then shouted.

Dr. Kong laughed as if he were crying.

Then the rest is simple.

When it was getting dark and the carnival of big eaters in the city was coming to an end, Luo Hui, He Fu and others took hundreds of Quzhou Four People's Self-Defense Army, armed with a batch of armor and muskets on the dock, surrounded Dr. Kong, who was beloved by the people of Quzhou, and began to patrol the city with torches and lanterns......

The main thing is recruitment!

If nothing happens, tomorrow afternoon, the cavalry trained by the Zhejiang regiment will be able to return, and they must quickly complete the fortressification of the city in less than twenty-four hours.

First of all, all those who can use muskets and cannons will be incorporated into the Self-Defense Forces.

That's a lot.

Especially the workers of the munitions factories, it is impossible not to use this thing, they are even more familiar with it than the soldiers.

All the muskets that could be collected in the city were used to arm them.

In the end, a total of two thousand musketeers were obtained.

In addition, there are a total of twenty-six gunners of various cannons, but there are no real heavy artillery, they are all light field guns, fortunately, this is enough. Then there are those who are strong enough to throw grenades far enough, and they are responsible for acting as grenadiers, and some grenades are not enough to be made.

And the rest are those who use cold weapons.

All the young and strong are counted.

It just so happened that there were also a batch of knives and spears sent from Jiangxi on the wharf, because the technical level was poor, and the gentry in Jiangxi were still mainly engaged in the manufacture of armor and cold weapons.

mainly relies on Song Yingxing's various hydraulic machinery secretly delivered to his hometown fathers.

The Nanchang area is now full of water wheels.

His brother is no longer admitted to the Jinshi exam, and he has not even been admitted to the exam twice, so it is better to start a business at home.

At present, the Song family is like a representative of the emerging capitalists, after all, there is his younger brother, a scientific and technological spy, who comes home every year from the Academy of Sciences of the Apocalypse, and the Song family can burn cement, make glass, and even start to get involved in clock manufacturing.

It's like a traverser template.

And when the young and middle-aged were preparing for war, the old and weak women and children all took action, moving everything that could be moved from the dock into the city, and at the same time bringing out food, livestock, and wine from Dr. Kong's house to prepare war meals for their husbands and brothers. As for how to settle these accounts, what kind of accounts are there, after a sage like Dr. Kong, who understands the righteousness, he will definitely donate at such a time, don't believe it, ask Dr. Kong.

Dr. Kong......

Dr. Kong could only burst into tears.

And Luo Hui, who suddenly understood some medical knowledge, gathered several famous doctors in the city, and then made alcohol for later use, and bandages and the like were also boiled in a cauldron, in short......

He's also like a time-traveler template.

The entire city of Quzhou was prepared for war, and the gentry and their families who were not killed were all driven to the Confucian family and imprisoned in the Dacheng Palace......

"Traitor, you traitor!"

"Shame on Kong Sheng!"

……

Amid the cursing and howling in the Dacheng Hall, Dr. Kong wiped the sweat from his head.

"Mr. Kong, I'll leave it to you!"

Luo Hui patted him on the shoulder and said.

Dr. Kong gave him a sad look.

"Brothers, for the sake of Kong Sheng's spirit in heaven will not be disgraced, as long as the anti-party enters this Quzhou, you will directly set the fire on it, we would rather burn the Dacheng Hall than let the anti-party set foot on it!"

Luo Hui shouted.

"Obey!"

There was a shouting around Dacheng Hall.

Five hundred soldiers of the Self-Defense Army have surrounded this hall, and the hall is surrounded by dry pine branches and straw, as long as Quzhou is breached, this hall and the gentry inside will turn into a sea of fire together, and at this moment, the cry inside is completely earth-shattering, and those unlucky gentry are crying and cursing Kong Zhenyun.

As for Kong Zhenyun......

What could he do?

Choose to put up with it!

In the midst of the cries of these gentry, the sound of artillery in the east of the city suddenly sounded......

"Let's go, fight to the end!"

Luo Hui roared.

Immediately afterwards, in the roar of a bloody battle to the end, he led his subordinates to rush out of the Confucian Mansion, and then kept shouting this slogan, and soon accompanied him forward, and the entire Quzhou was a roar of bloody battle to the end.

At this time, outside the Yinghe Gate in the east of the city, the first batch of returning regimental cavalry arrived, but they had to face the self-defense army on the city wall, accompanied by the flames of the cannons, this real people's war kicked off.
