A day later, at this time, in Linqu County, two people with disheveled hair and panting were brought to the county by the yacha.

"You said that the quarry in Mayu was attacked by gangsters, and all the officials and overseers were captured and killed!" The county couldn't believe his ears.

"It's true, sir! The villain is really blessed by the Bodhisattva this time, and he escaped death. Those gangsters tied up the brothers, and one by one they disemboweled, and they died alive! "It was Pan Tou and Huang Pi who cried and fell to the ground.

The two of them had been relieved from a distance, but no one had found them, and when they saw the crowd gathering at the foot of the mountain, they stabbed to death the companions who had used to be the most ruthless in the past, and they were so frightened that they didn't dare to make a sound. Seeing that no one was paying attention to the surroundings, relying on his familiarity with the terrain, he turned around, left and right, and escaped from the quarry. They were afraid of being discovered, so the two hid in a hidden mountain depression for most of the day, and their bodies were weak because of diarrhea, and they did not escape quickly. On the way, the two also thought of Liujiazhuang and Hujiazhuang for help, but Yu Zhilong had already prepared and arranged for someone to intercept them on the way. The two found that although the people at the intersection were wearing the clothes of the yacha, they were all fresh faces, and these people were murderous, and the timing of their appearance here was quite strange. The two of them had an extra heart, and hid in the grass for a while, but they didn't dare to come forward to greet them, until Yu Zhilong led the team to arrive, and these yamen stepped forward to answer, and they were sure that they had escaped again.

The two of them were even more frightened, knowing that it was not safe nearby, so they simply took advantage of the approaching night and rushed directly to the county seat. So he deliberately made a big circle, avoiding the place where Yu Zhilong might set up a card, and fled all the way into Linqu County like a lost dog. At this time, it was the third day of the quarry incident, and it was nearly dusk.

"My lord, those expulsors and coolies were not only instigated by the gangsters to stab the Yacha brothers to death with their own hands, but they also kept saying that they would attack the county seat and kill the officials and rebel!"

"All my yacha have been killed by gangsters?" The county asked urgently.

The villain was far away, and saw that some of the Yacha brothers were killed, and the rest of the brothers were tied up at that time, and they were all held together by the gangsters. At that time, the incident happened suddenly, and the drivers were encouraged to rebel, and it was very likely that they would be found if they continued to stay in the valley, and the villain found that the gangsters had begun to count the number of officials and overseers, so they did not dare to stay any longer, so they had to find a way to escape. I don't know what happened next, but looking at the situation at that time, I was afraid that the brothers would not be able to escape death. Pan Tou didn't dare to lie and truthfully stated what he saw.

"My lord, we wanted to go to Liujiazhuang and Hujiazhuang for help first on the way, but the gangsters were cunning and set up a card to intercept them on the way. The villain knew that something was wrong, so he went around in a big circle along the way, and rushed back to the county seat to tell the master, and now the master of the slave still doesn't know it, waiting for the slave to rush back to Yidu City to ask for guilt! Huang Pi followed and kowtowed, tears and tears, like mourning.

"How many gangsters are there, and how many coolies are there in the quarry?" The county master next to him asked.

"Well, there are about 300 gangsters, and about 3,000 coolies." Huang Pi groaned slightly, and overreported Yu Zhilong's number. Beforehand, he and Pan Tou combined, if the number of people in Zhilong was truthfully reported, I was afraid that the county lord would not be able to get over here, so many people, with knives and sticks, were captured by dozens of gangsters, are you all-eaters?

The main book took a breath, most of the three thousand mobs were young and strong, once an incident broke out, if they found weapons again, they would not be able to be wiped out by the officers and soldiers of Linqu County alone.

"Your Excellency needs to inform Lord Daru Huachi of this county as soon as possible, and ask him to make a decision quickly!" The housekeeper suggested right away. The county is only in charge of local civil affairs, and if the Yuan army soldiers are used, they must obtain the consent of the county Daru Huachi. "Yes, come on, go and invite the beggar to come here to discuss matters" A subordinate stepped forward and agreed to go out.

After a while, the beggar arrived impatiently, he was having dinner in the house, and when he heard that the county had an invitation, he didn't know what was going on, and it was not good to delay, so he had to come halfway. When I heard Pan Tou's retelling, I was stunned for a while.

"Hujiazhuang and Liujiazhuang are only afraid that they have been occupied by gangsters, and now there are less than 300 officers and soldiers in the city, plus barely 400 yacha. How to deal with it, and please give me some instructions? The county priest said to the beggar.

There is a Yuan generation, all roads, prefectures, counties in addition to the local chief executive, the Yuan court also set up a special level of Daru Huachi titles, Daru Huachi by Mongolia, Semu people, Daru Huachi ancient language is the town guard, the highest rank when the second grade. Its duty is to supervise the local military administration, and is actually the highest military and political governor in the region.

By the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the bloody Mongols had gradually withered, and most of the officials in various positions were royal relatives and nobles or greedy people attached to them. Thousands of miles of officials are only for money, and in order to be promoted and make a fortune, most of these people collude up and down, occupy acres of land, transfer labor to labor, set up clever names, and expropriate tyranny. In the season of famine, they even took the opportunity to buy a large amount of civilian property at a low price, or printed and distributed money to make huge profits.

It was originally a way for the Mongols to borrow money, but by the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the interest on the money had reached a peak. After the expiration of the loan period, the loan will be repaid in two, and if it cannot be repaid on time, the principal and interest will accumulate in the future. Such high interest rates were widely practiced throughout the Central Plains, and not only Mongolian and Semu bureaucrats at all levels participated in the distribution, but also the royal family and nobles, and even the emperors, princes, and princesses of previous dynasties. Because the rebate is fast, such as lambing, it is also called lambing.

The beggars are here to be officials, so naturally they are not exempt from vulgarity. Not only did they set up more names in the local area, collect taxes, and apportioned labor, but they also participated in quarrying with county officials and 100 garrison households, and made a lot of money to get rid of money. In the past two years, the family has become rich, and the beggars are even more comfortable with it. Under the good fate, the Fu Yin of Yidu Road has privately sent a letter that he will be excellent in the evaluation of his political performance in the coming year, and the Imperial Historical Observatory will also be released all the way, and the promotion of the official to the next level is just around the corner.

Seeing that the prosperous day is coming, I heard the bad news today, it was really a thunderbolt in the clear sky, and the beggars were stunned.

Since the 11th year of Zhizheng Liu Futong Yingzhou uprising, the two years of thieves killed officials are countless, the imperial court has repeatedly sent a large army to encircle and suppress, but the official army has been killed and injured countless times. This year, it was not easy to kill most of Liu Futong's troops, and the rest of them are said to have fled to the mountains, and it is difficult to get out of trouble. However, Zhang Shicheng made a big fuss in Gaoyou, and the transportation of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal was basically cut off. The Yuan court was shaken, and then there was Tokh himself in command, leading the Mongol army, the Semu army, the Han army, the Miao army, the Tubo army, the Goryeo army, etc., known as a million to the south to crusade.

Shandong is located on the main route of the army to the south, and the military resources and troops from all over the north converge like a stream towards Jinan and other places, and then turn to the south, even the Mongol army, the Semu army and part of the Han army in the county capitals of Yidu Road were also transferred to the south. As a result, the military strength in Shandong was weak, and thieves everywhere took the opportunity to cause trouble and wandered around, and the officers and soldiers were insufficient and tired of fighting. The wealthy gentry in various places had to recruit volunteers to assist the officials and soldiers in suppressing the thieves.

Fortunately, although there are many thieves and anti-thieves, most of them are small stocks and are easy to be exterminated. The largest part of Yidu Road is Yu Hai, but Yu Hai is also mostly in the north and west of Yidu Road, a few days ago Du Lu also reported that under the blow of the southbound Yuan cavalry, its stubborn murderer has been killed, most of the thieves have been annihilated, and now all localities are required to strictly guard the pass, control the road, and be sure to besiege it in the Yangtian Mountain area, since the success is just around the corner. How come there are thieves who have come to their Linqu place today!

The beggar cheered up and asked, "How did these thieves come from?" How can you be sure that they are thieves in the sea? ”

"Back to my lord, when the villain was hiding on the side of the road, he met the other party marching from the quarry to Liujiazhuang and Hujiazhuang, and some of the small leaders of the anti-thieves got carried away and loudly declared their exploits to the drivers. They mentioned their leader, the bandit named Yu Zhilong, who led thousands of households and was the vanguard of the rebels in Yuhai. They also mentioned that they did fight with the cavalry of the official army, but the army of the imperial court did not seem to take advantage. ”

"Well, can you believe the words of the thief? My Mongolian army is invincible, when it swept the grassland, conquered the east and west, destroyed countless cities and destroyed countless countries, and now Liu Futong's thief is not dying, Yu thief is just a good fate, escaped a catastrophe, it should not be true! ”

"The adults have taught you a great lesson!" Not only did Pan Tou and Huangpi quickly kowtow and praise, but even the county and the main book also gave gifts.

"However, they say that their pioneer bandit is Yu Zhilong, this unintentional boasting is quite credible, but what news have you heard?" The beggar asked.

"Back to the adults, the villains have been hiding on the side of the road, worried about being discovered by thieves, and they are far away, only to hear that they are going to attack Hujiazhuang and Liujiazhuang, and see that their number is about nearly 2,000."

"Listening to the thieves' boasting, the vanguard of this group of thieves seems to be its elite, and most of the people behind are old, weak, women and children, and outside the words, it seems that the big thief Yu Hai has been ambushed, and now he is a big leader named Liu Zhengfeng." Yellow Peel added.

"Oh, Yidu Road has sent a report that our Mongolian army has captured the bandit leader Yu Hai and corrected the law on the spot, it seems that the news is true." The beggar bowed his head. In recent years, there have been many cases of falsely reporting military achievements and killing good people and taking meritorious deeds, so officials in various places have a good idea of whether the news reported by the government is true or not. Knowing that the bandit leader was executed, several people felt relieved. But in a blink of an eye, the thieves are huge, and they may soon attack the city, and as a local military and political chief, where is his duty, but he is suffering from a small number of soldiers, and he will be out?

The beggar sent people to send people to the four hundred households in the city to come over and discuss the matter together, and at the same time agreed with the county to immediately send a letter to Yidu Road for help, explaining the reason for the inquiry. The main countermeasures were to garrison all the Han troops in the city, and to order the surrounding rebels outside the city to enter the city to assist in the defense, and then recruit strong people in the city to assist in the defense, and strictly check those who entered and exited the city.

After the arrival of the four Han army and 100 households, they were convinced by the deployment of the two commanders, and they were all kneeling on the ground to ask for their lives.

The main book suggested that it was necessary to send someone out of the city in disguise to find out the movements of the thieves in Liujiazhuang and Hujiazhuang, and know the truth in order to deal with it.

Pan Tou and Huang Pi knelt down and begged, allowing the two of them to go out of the city overnight to inform the master of Yidu Road that they should deal with it as soon as possible, and the beggar felt his loyalty and allowed him to go at night.

This night, there was a lot of rumors in Linqu County, and all families rushed to tell each other, and it was rumored that a large number of thieves were close to the county seat, and the city would be broken and looted in the near future. For a while, the people in the city were panicked, and many people wanted to organize their belongings, so they fled out of the city overnight, and were stopped by the city guards at the city gate. Someone urgently reported to the beggar, and the beggar was shocked, so he urgently ordered that the whole city was curfew, and it was strictly forbidden to spread messages in private, but those who disturbed the hearts of the people and the army were severely punished!
