There is no major matter except death, the government and the court are urging, and the powerful landlords are oppressing, this is the root of the raging fire, once the people are not even afraid of death, then what else can be stopped?

History secretly asked himself in his heart, did his arrival precede the "second king" who raised his banner of righteousness? And that changed history? Is it that history is going to write the stars of the sky, Zhao Dahai, and he died so generously for kindness and righteousness? But it's not because of his own arrival that these men who can still survive will be wiped out in the history of the late Ming Dynasty first.

Lu Shizheng hesitated, and there were also small leaders who got information to ask back and forth, but they were all blown away by the stars.

"Look at what, when everything is arranged and planned, I will definitely give you an exact information, go back and wait, don't delay me discussing big things with my brothers."

Turning his mind in the shouting of the stars, Lu Shi took a deep breath, looked at everyone's expressions as if they were facing a great enemy, and smiled to comfort everyone: "Don't be pessimistic, in fact, I give you a sum of money and food, and I don't want everyone to really attack the city, I have a way to capture Zhangjiabao without attacking the city, I have to get the villagers, everyone has money and food, isn't it the best of both worlds?" ”

"Sir, do you really have this way?" Guo Tianxing's eyes lit up again, and he said excitedly: "But it's good, there are deaths and injuries anyway, it's inevitable, we have this consciousness when we do this business, as long as there are no casualties, it's a blessing to invite the sky, what is the clever plan of Mr. Hurry up." When Guo Tianxing and the second master heard that they could seize the fortress without being killed or injured, and obtained a large amount of winter food, they immediately came to their senses, stretched their necks and looked at Lu Shi with eager eyes, waiting for Lu Shi's answer.

Lu Shi looked left and right, touched his stomach and said: "I've been on the road all night, and my stomach has long been screaming, won't you use the breeze to entertain my new brother." To say this is to change the atmosphere, too dull, too tragic and bad.

Guo Tianxing slapped his head, changed his mood, and laughed awkwardly: "Damn, this is really mine, isn't it, why do you make my brother and brother hungry?" Sins, sins, sins. He turned around and shouted outside, "Why don't you serve wine and meat?" Could it be that before the big thing is accomplished, we must starve to death first, and a few of our leaders can't do it? ”

One sentence drew laughter from everyone in the hall.

was called by the stars, and quickly replied outside, and in a moment there was an old man, with a rag on his shoulder, and a thick basin in his hand, steaming in, and apologized in a stack of apologies: "Look at the confidential things that a few masters say, don't dare to disturb, this is not wine and meat have already been good, and a few masters are still eating and discussing." ”

The dish is just a pot of game that I don't know what it is, and nothing else.

The old man was followed by an old mother-in-law, holding a stack of thick bowls in her hand, which were placed in front of everyone in turn, and then went out again, and the old man brought a wine jar, opened, and the room was full of a rich aroma of wine, but it was the best Fenyang spirits, and I don't know which landlord's old wealth was the cellar.

Guo Tianxing took it and poured it in turn, and then picked up the wine bowl and sang the wine order, humbly, and everyone was happy to kill it.

Guo Tianxing picked up the chopsticks and put a piece of the fattest meat into Zhao Dahai's bowl, and said with a smile: "The cottage is hard, there is nothing, it's just that the day before yesterday was depressed, and the yellow sheep who went out to fight was entertained, I hope my brother will not dislike it."

Zhao Dahai is also a heroic person, and he is not polite, he laughed and picked up the fast meat into his mouth, but he frowned between chewing.

Lu Shi also picked up the meat from the second master and put it in his mouth, but it was saltless, tasteless, and fishy.

At that time, Guo Tianxing saw the clue, the old face turned red, put the wine bowl down, and shouted loudly outside: "Old Lintou, come here." ”

Outside the door, a group of ragged children gathered around to watch everyone eat and drink, really salivating, and was scolded by the big boss, the children shouted and ran away together, but each turned back one step at a time.

The old forest man hurried over, "What does the big boss need?" ”

"What heart are you? My benefactor's brother is here, and he is still reluctant to let my brother eat your salt? ”

The old Lin Tou couldn't help but smile bitterly: "The big boss, there is a shortage of salt on the cottage, and this is a break, and some will be left for the future injured and sick brothers, so, so." ”

When Guo Tianxing heard this, he sat down with a depressed face, sullen, and then smiled apologetically at Zhao Dahai and said, "There is really no way to let my brother laugh." Mongolian salt does not come, Shandong salt soldiers are not seen, this is bitter everyone, this salt or I ordered me not to eat, keep it for the brothers who are injured once they are injured. ”

"Don't worry about it, it's more delicious to eat like this. It's delicious, come on, come again. Lu Shi was busy playing a round.

So everyone laughed and ate and drank.

After a bit of wine and meat, Lu Shi began to say to Guo Tianxing, who had been waiting for a long time: "Big boss, don't be anxious, I don't want to rob Zhangjiabao with as many casualties as I do, Zhangjiabao's money, food and materials are the big boss." ”

"Come on, don't sell it anymore, our brothers are all rough people, not as good as you." Zhao Dahai photographed Lu Shidao.

"Yes, yes, Mr. has a law, come quickly, if I don't want money and food, I will also stand up for the Zhao family's brother, not to mention the Zhang family's century-old savings?"

Lu Shi smiled and said: "My method is simple, and I follow the trend, a few people are not busy, and listen to me." ”

Lu Shi's method was actually very simple, not only to occupy Zhangjiabao with the least casualties, but also to protect the safety of the villagers who were taken hostage in the fort as much as possible in the event of surprise.

"In fact, our garrison mountain and Zhangjiabao are just a road away, but the situation in each is ice and fire, the garrison mountain houses are low and dilapidated, and the courtyards are connected into patches, and we can use these houses to hide the army."

Guo Tianxing and Zhao Dahai were both confused, and they didn't know what this was doing.

Lu Shi smiled and slowly explained to them while sorting out his thoughts: "When I came, I asked the people in the village to pretend to collect food and materials, and wanted to go to Zhang's house to redeem people, in fact, we are now poor and white, and we have all been scraped without a single grass stalk, how can there be anything to redeem people?" It's just a show, paralyzing the Zhang family, and asking the Zhang family to think that we really have no choice but to redeem people. ”

"Brother, you have commanded like this, but what is the meaning?"

"First paralyzed the other party, let the other party relax their vigilance, and then we invited the Tianxing brothers to take a large group of people, sneak in the night, and rush to the garrison mountain, just hide the ambush in the homes of these villagers, after I and Brother Zhao returned to the village, at dawn, with a group of villagers who are not afraid of death, pull up a wooden cart full of sacks, the big boss selected dozens of dead soldiers, with knives and guns hidden in the car, and we rushed to Zhangjiabao with us, just said to hand over the grain to redeem people, that Zhangjia saw that we were nervous about raising food for the past two days, and now we must not suspect him, when they open the fort gate, We pushed the wooden cart in. ”

"Yes, so that our brother can seize the gate of the fort in one fell swoop." The stars shouted loudly. One foot stood on the stool and cheered.

"It's not just the castle gate, it's the wooden cart that's useful."

"What's the use of that?" Zhao Dahai also asked excitedly.

"We pushed the wooden carts into Zhangjiabao, and then lined up in a fan, tightly blocking the road leading to the fort gate, blocking the township from counterattacking, and buying time for our brothers who occupied the fort gate."

"Wonderful, really wonderful." The stars of the sky exclaimed.

"At this time, our brothers who are ambushed in the garrison mountain will rush up, and we can immediately occupy Zhangjiabao, so like this, are you still worried about death and injury?"

"Don't worry, don't worry, those villagers in Zhangjiabao are all long-term and short-term workers, where can I compare with brothers like me who have seen blood and despised life? The real fight is when they are chickens and dogs, but in fact, the real casualties are when they climb the city, after all, do people occupy the geographical advantage? With this method, Mr. is easy to get home, and now, that Zhangjiabao is in my pocket. "The eyes of the stars are already full of the joy of success.

"Is this the end? The ambition of the big boss is too small. Lu Shi said with a hint of teasing.

"Is there a next step?"

"Of course there is, the big boss, Zhangjiabao is just a rich man after all, how much money can he have? For thousands of people on this mountain, it is just a drop in the bucket, if you want to spend this winter and spring safely and abundantly, the next step is the county seat. You must know that after this autumn harvest, there are hundreds of thousands of stones of grain and grass in that county, and hundreds of thousands of taxes and silver, are you really not moved by these big bosses? ”

Hearing Lu Shi's words, the hall was full of inhalation.

Hit the county seat? This is a rebellion against the killing of officials, that is different from the current pole, the current pole is composed of displaced people, the hungry people in various places are unbearable to the layers of exploitation of the cool officials of the government, so they have unveiled the rod and roared to gather in the mountains and forests, making disturbances in various places, so the imperial court in Shaanxi Governor and sent a big member of the governor of Yansui, led the local civil affairs and military affairs, and now this Yansui governor Yue Hesheng is a wonderful person, lest the local hungry people rise up this fire to themselves, worried that the court will investigate the responsibility, will be severely punished. At the same time, he imagined that after the next summer harvest, the rebellious peasants, forced by hunger and cold, would automatically disband and return to their hometowns. As a result, an ostrich policy was adopted, prohibiting prefectures and counties from reporting news of "chaos".

Hu Tingyan, who served as the governor of Shaanxi in the early years of Chongzhen, whenever the state and county reported the matter of "thieves", he beat the person who came to the board without asking for any reason, and said: "This hungry scoundrel also made his own ears after plundering to Ming Chun." "It's just a rush to shirk.

However, paper could not contain the fire, and the momentum of the peasant uprising grew stronger day by day, and the magistrates could no longer cover it up, so they had to report to the imperial court.

Hu Tingyan, the governor of Shaanxi, said that it was the border soldiers under the jurisdiction of Yue Hesheng, the governor of Yansui, who caused a rebellion, and Yue Hesheng said that the hungry people in the interior of Shaanxi were "thieves". A lawsuit began.

Wu Huan, the governor of Shaanxi, reported to the emperor that he had fifty boards each, saying: "If the theft is in the seventh month of Baishui, there will be fewer border thieves and more soil thieves." This year, the thieves are all riding sharply, moving to seven or eight thousand. The prevarication of the two strokes is concealed, and the brewing is also. Soon, Yue Hesheng fell ill and died, and Hu Tingyan reprimanded; Changed to Liu Guangsheng to patrol Shaanxi, Zhang Mengjing to governor Yansui, at this time the peasant uprising in northern Shaanxi has begun to take shape and is uncontrollable, of course, this is all a later story.

So now everyone is really a pole outcast, and no one is willing to really fight against the imperial court.

Attacking some fortresses is just an act of banditry, but to attack the county seat, it is to kill officials and rebel, and no one can afford this result.

Lu Shi also knew the consequences of this, but the Zhang brothers were in the county seat, and they were guilty of rebellion, and they were going to be killed in the near future, and they couldn't watch the Zhang brothers die in vain.

Originally, I traveled to the present, and I wanted to go to the south and survive this turbulent era peacefully, but I didn't have the heart to rebel at all.

How difficult is it to rebel? It is still the first year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, and there are still seventeen years away from the collapse of the Ming Dynasty.

But that's what happened, step by step, pushing you forward and eventually going down a path you couldn't have anticipated.

As long as he still has a little conscience, that is, he wants to repay Zhang Laoshi for accepting his kindness when he needs help the most, then he must go on, even if he attacks the county seat.
