Chapter 33: Rebellion
This Guo Tianxing is also a character, but it is really not successful in the management of the cottage, it is simply by virtue of his own chivalrous prestige, with some brothers who have no hope of a future, to say that the management ability, according to their own observation, is simply zero, but also from the usual conversation, Guo Tianxing wants to live his unrestrained ranger life, if it is not for the father to retain, there is a responsibility in his heart, I think this man would have been gone.
Now is not the time to be discouraged and disappointed, and it is necessary to cheer him up. So he hurriedly explained: "Don't worry about the big boss, now that we have occupied Zhangjiabao, we are about to unite with other poles to form a coalition to attack the county seat, and here is only more than 30 miles away from the county seat, just a place to be a place to keep the baggage, we will not go, just stick here, use the advantage of the city wall to meet the township Yong Zhuang Ding who came to the aid of the lords from all over the country, and at the same time wait for the arrival of other poles. β
"That's a good idea." As soon as Lu Shi said this, Guo Tianxing showed his heroic nature again, smashed his fist on the wall, and said loudly: "I want to see how the Chen family ends up under my inner and outer cooperation." After looking left and right, he laughed and said: "Don't say, the situation here is many times better than that of the cottage, the walls are high and deep, even if it is a copper wall and an iron wall, I will send someone back to the mountain and call the people left behind in the cottage to come, and we will live here." β
The poles around him stretched their necks to watch the big boss and Mr. discuss, and when they heard that they were going to leave the cottage and live in Zhangjiabao, there was a burst of cheers.
Guo Tianxing, who rectum thinks like this, is a play, and he doesn't think about the long-term at all, and at that moment, Lu Shi hurriedly interrupted Guo Tianxing's wishful thinking, and admonished: "It's not okay to be in charge." β
Joke, if the old camp of Woniu Mountain is stationed in this Zhangjiabao, now the pole coalition army will attack the county seat and still get a temporary peace, if the county seat is broken, the various poles will get the goods and disperse, and immediately this Zhangjiabao will be a dead place, and the four thousand people are not a small dish in the hands of the officials and soldiers? The Ming army may lose every battle externally, but it is a pinch to deal with the pole uprising, or it will not be more than 30 or so joint forces to the sky, but the result is just an instant fireworks, and it will disappear after a brilliant handful.
When Lu Shi told Guo Tianxing about his idea, Guo Tianxing also blushed for his greed for pleasure, and was also afraid of his short-sightedness, so he hurriedly admitted his mistake to Lu Shi, which is the benefit of a rough man.
"What's next?" Guo Tianxing asked sincerely again.
Lu Shi was helpless, he seemed to have unconsciously become the military advisor of the Heavenly Star, the backbone, and he had to ask himself what to do about everything, what was the matter. But the matter is not over, the Zhang brothers are still on death row in the county, and they have to save everything, and the matter of saving people is to fall on this starry person, so I can only help him now.
"The big boss hurriedly sent people back to the mountain, summoned a group of people on the mountain to help defend the city, and at the same time must urge the mountain to hurry up and make more longbows, and take care of the cottage safely, that is our foundation, we will now tie up Zhang's hometown Yong, and order someone to guard it, don't come to Chen Village when attacking, and then come inside and outside."
"That's exactly what I tell you to do." Guo Tianxing obeyed his words, hurriedly agreed, and turned around to arrange for a close little leader to execute immediately.
The little leader hurriedly ran down to the city with the obviously larger helmet he had just gotten, and informed his brothers.
"At the same time, immediately send people to move all the remaining old and weak in Zhangjiazhuang into the fort to avoid the war." Lu Shi looked at the villagers who were still wandering in the garrison mountain village, and said worriedly.
Now the garrison mountain is old and weak, and has become a mortal enemy with the Xiangyong who came from all over the place, if it is really not protected outside, those Xiangyong who rushed to the village will definitely poison those villagers, or move into Zhangjiabao as soon as possible, after all, there are still food materials here, and there are hundreds of poles guarding against the wall.
"I'll arrange it right away." Guo Tianxing hurriedly sent people to execute it again.
The villagers stationed in the mountain got Lu Shi's instructions, and hurriedly dragged their families and mouths to retreat into Zhangjiabao with the corresponding poles, and for a while, the garrison mountain village, which was still a little angry, immediately became lifeless.
Lu Shi stood at the head of the city, looking into the distance, his heart was like turning over the river and the sea, in order to rescue the Zhang family's father and son and a group of old and young people who were arrested by the officials in the garrison mountain, but the originally peaceful village in the garrison mountain became a place of death, not to mention, after this battle, those originally kind people were branded with the brand of killing officials and rebelling, did he save them or hurt them?
Guo Tianxing laughed happily, and kept asking Lu Shi such and such questions, and the two were working together at the head of the city, when suddenly there was a howling sound faintly in the old mansion of the Zhang family.
Lu Shi's face couldn't help but change greatly, what was the situation?
The cry came from outside Zhangjiashui Prison, and when Lu Shi hurried there, he was stunned and angry by the tragic situation at that time.
Nearly 100 villagers who had just been rescued from the water prison, all of them had withered faces, and their bodies were stained with blood, such a body, the lower half of their bodies were blackened by the sewage bubbles of the dungeon, emitting a burst of foul smell, Zhang Laoshi was carried by several villagers with door panels, and he was already dying, Lu Shi stepped forward and uncovered a straw mat covering his body, a bad smell and bloody smell came to his nose, Lu Shi also couldn't scruple about it, leaned down to look, and saw that Zhang Laoshi's whole body was not a good meat, The scars were soaked in black water, and the whole person was in a blur, and he didn't live anymore.
Ignoring the stench and blood, Lu Shi stepped forward and took Zhang Honest's hand, feeling the coldness and lifelessness of that hand.
Lu Shi's nose was sour, and tears fell involuntarily.
This is the first honest person in this world who is really good to himself, takes care of himself, and shelters himself, and has to even half a bowl of porridge and water to himself, a good person who honestly dares not argue with anyone.
I wanted to repay his custody wholeheartedly, and wanted to use my little knowledge to change his situation and let their family survive this boundless troubled world, but it was precisely his own arrival that not only failed to improve them, but pushed them into the abyss of family ruin, and the guilt in his heart was incomprehensible.
may have felt the warmth in Lu Shi's hands, Zhang Laoshi, who was dying, slowly opened his eyes, and saw that it was Lu Shi, smiled hard, weak and almost silent, and gasped for a long time before comforting Lu Shi softly: "Master can't be like this, they are all hard-working people, this is all fate, and I can't complain about others." β
Lu Shi was even more sad when he heard this, and his tears couldn't stop flowing like pearls.
Seeing that Lu Shi was still leaning over and weeping, Zhang Laoshi actually squeezed out a difficult smile and comforted: "But my Zhang family is grateful to the master, and I didn't let a few children of my Zhang family starve to death at that time, and let a few children eat a rare full meal in their lives, which is a blessing from my Zhang family." β
Lu Shi's tears burst out of his eyes, and he choked up and couldn't say any more.
After gasping for a long time, it was difficult to look left and right, Zhang Laoshi's eyes flashed unbearable, and he said in a low voice: "Master, I know that you have done these things for me, the court is really not worth it, thanks to your blessing, I saw Huang Chengcheng's millet and wheat this year, which I have never seen in these years, if those are even a little bit of mine, it would be great, I haven't eaten snow-white steamed buns for a long time, and drank the thick millet porridge." The voice murmured that he was immersed in the imaginary aroma of snow-white steamed buns and millet porridge.
Lu Shi's tears couldn't be stopped, he just held Zhang Shishi's hand and cried as he held it.
"Master, I ask you, what about my two sons?"
Lu Shi turned around and asked loudly the official kneeling on the left side of the road: "Say, where are my two brothers?" What now? β
The officials trembled and knelt on the left side of the road with a colorless face, not daring to look at the angry Lu Shi, but kept buttoning Zhao Dahai's head, "Lord Zhao, we are all sent by the upper branches, and we are all colleagues." β
This is just a relationship, and I hope that Zhao Dahai will give personal protection for the sake of the same official trip to the imperial court.
Zhao Dahai kicked up and knocked down the official, and said loudly: "My brother asked you, where are my two nephews now." β
"Yes, yes, the Zhang family brother is in the county jail, just waiting for the Zhang family to raise all the money and food, and then release him after offering the windmill drawings."
"Really, let them go?" Angry eyes widened and asked loudly, although he knew in his heart that this was delusional, but there was already hope in his eyes, the drawings were ready-made, and the money and food were now available, so it was really a matter of saving trouble and saving the Zhang brothers, but Zhang was honest's wish, and it was only right for him to take the Zhang brothers to the south together.
"To be honest, what are you going to do with the Zhang brothers?" Zhao Dahai was not as innocent as Lu Shi, and asked fiercely.
The official peeked at it, knew that Zhao Dahai was an official, and knew that he was tired of it, so he couldn't hide it at the moment, so he had to tell the truth: "Even if you wait to gather grain and grass, the Zhang brothers are going to sell Mongolia as slaves." Although the voice was low, it struck everyone's heart like a yellow bell.
Lu Shi was stunned for a while, suddenly shouted, stepped forward and kicked over the official, and even looked for the sword left and right, and was about to cut down this unconscionable thing.
The crowd is even more emotional, no wonder the servants of the previous years once the master is gone, most of them have not been heard from, no wonder the young men who were forced to pay money and food in previous years are no longer alive or dead, but they were all sold to Mongolia as slaves by the government.
Lu Shi, who was furious, felt a hand suddenly grasp him, and looked at it with red eyes, but it was the dying Zhang Laoshi. Lu Shi suppressed his anger, lowered his head and listened to Zhang Laoshi's words, Zhang Laoshi looked at Lu Shi with difficulty, suddenly got up, and shouted loudly with all his strength
