Chapter 512: Great Disappointment
Standing under the city gate with great ambition, watching the rolling tide pouring into Yanchang's subordinates, Gao Yingxiang, who was full of ambition, rode a war horse and rushed directly into the county government with the leaders, but when he saw the Yanchang county office, Gao Yingxiang's original charcoal-like heart was cold.
What kind of county government is this, dilapidated, not as glorious as the ancestral hall of a rich family's family temple, waving a horsewhip at those around him who have never seen the world, and who are amazed at this dilapidated county government, and said: "Go to a few people, block the back office, don't let idle people and others enter."
This is fundamental, in principle, the wealth of a county is here, and the county order is gone, and it can only take away the fine and soft, but not the coarse and stupid, especially some of the surplus.
The excited poles agreed, brandishing knives and guns.
"Old Gada, you personally led my standard battalion, rushed to the county treasury urgently, sealed all the supplies, money and grain, and distributed them after I discussed with the brothers at the head of each battalion."
All materials must be in their own hands, which is what Gao Yingxiang should do after the collapse of the sky.
Lao Gada took a step forward, gave up the order, turned around and was about to leave, Gao Yingxiang groaned slightly and told again: "Remember, no matter who I do, I dare not touch the county treasury to touch a single grass and tree, and you don't need to ask for instructions if you cut it on the spot." ”
When he said this, a king's domineering spirit erupted, making the leaders of the battalion who were standing in front of him involuntarily lean behind Gao Yingxiang, highlighting Gao Yingxiang's position, and also making those camp leaders who wanted to fish in troubled waters shrink their necks and put down that little thought.
Gao Yingxiang glanced around, very satisfied, very satisfied, in a team, what is needed is this, especially now, now, everyone is beginning to fear their authority, that is what they want the most.
"Let's go, let's go in." With a wave of his big hand, the first big step in, and the battalion leader behind him hurriedly staggered to follow.
However, the result of searching the backyard of the county government was not very satisfactory to Gao Yingxiang, according to his own investigation, the escaped county zun took away all the softness, and did not leave himself anything valuable at all, even if it was a rough benzene house, it could be destroyed and destroyed, when Gao Yingxiang lay on the bed of the county with a golden knife, there was only loss, nothing else.
When Gao Yingxiang was extremely disappointed, at this time, Lao Gada strode in, gave Gao Yingxiang a salute and reported the result of his blockade of the warehouse, which was even more refreshing.
In the county government's inventory, there is no remaining material at all, the original ones are resold by the county government, and the rest are confiscated by the upper peak, the army is defeated, and then it is looted by the defeated army, so what else?
Gao Yingxiang will not doubt the loyalty of his closest confidant Lao Gada, so he will not doubt the results of Lao Gada's report.
"Really?" Gao Yingxiang was already close to going berserk, but he still asked Lao Gada with a little hope. "Then where did all the things in this county be taken by those pickled things, a county seat, this is not a rural village, then you say, how can it be as clean as washing."
The most loyal old Gada can only bow down, only speechless.
When Gao Yingxiang, who was unwilling, inspected the county treasury, he only sighed, and then walked away silently.
"Old Gada, are you sure that our Kufu has not been looted by our own people?"
When Gao Yingxiang finally walked out of the door, he stood for a moment and asked uncertainly, in fact, just like this, Gao Yingxiang himself knew that this was a vain question, because anyone could hide himself, but Lao Gada couldn't. Gao Yingxiang still believes in this and absolutely trusts it.
Lao Gada followed Gao Yingxiang in the empty county treasury, and arched his hand and said: "The subordinates dare not slack off with the military order, there is no loss of grass and trees, please break into Wang Mingcha." When he said this, he was already showing sincere fear.
Gao Yingxiang walked out with a wry smile full of thoughts, this is the reality, but how should I tell those camp leaders? This was supposed to be a place where the treasury was abundant, but there was not even a mouse, especially when I thought that there was a little harvest after the county government, but as a result, I was greatly disappointed, so what is the point of this county being attacked by myself?
Cao Shen'er ran over in such a hurry at this time, and did not give a salute, and said loudly to Gao Yingxiang, "King Da Chuang, the people in the county did not respond to our call and were unwilling to join the army, please make a decision." ”
Now Gao Yingxiang was in a very irritable mood, and when he heard this, he was even more anxious, muttering in a low voice, and he didn't know if it was Cao Shen'er or the people he said: "I don't know what to do." Standing outside the empty granary, looking at the clear sky, for a long time, he gritted his teeth and said: "Since you don't have a face, then follow the old rules and burn the city." ”
Cao Shen'er didn't want anything else, and when she heard King Da Chuang's orders, she immediately ran out happily. Burning the city is my favorite.
Burning the city, this is the favorite of the peasant army, for two reasons, first, suffering from the inequality between the rich and the poor, and the second is burning the city and villages, then there will be many desperate people to join the rebel army and strengthen their own strength.
Lao Wangtou hated the government the most, because his ancestors and fathers had worked very hard and accumulated a little bit of family business, and later there were small landlords with dozens of acres of land in the countryside, and there was a small business selling needles and threads in the county, and there was a little rent income in the countryside.
However, the good times did not last long, the world was in drought, and there was not much production in the township, and the neighbors who were tenants for themselves were also bitterly complaining, and the income was even more scarce, and the whole family was counting on the survival of the shops in the county, but the taxes of the government were increased, and they did not have the protection of the gentry and officials, so it was an unfinished tax, and they could not serve the endless conscription, and in the end they could only pawn the fields in the countryside to keep the family safe.
But just like that, the good times are still not long, the world is getting more and more chaotic, today the soldiers come, tomorrow the bandits, this dilapidated city wall can not give everyone any protection, the soldiers come to donate and lose, the bandits come to ask for food and money, the official master is even more up and down, endless scraping, and finally the old king has become destitute. The only son was also arrested and left the border, and the daughter-in-law was also seriously ill and had no money to treat her life, so she left only a grandson to make a seedling.
This morning, I was just about to go out to find a way to live, and before I stepped out of the door, countless rogues poured into the street, and without saying anything, I knocked the old king's head to the ground and rushed into the house.
The old king was frightened, got up, ran desperately into the house, smashed through a pole blocking the doorway, and rushed in.
As soon as I entered the house, I saw my mother-in-law holding her grandson trembling and hiding under the edge of the kang, and saw that those poles were just looting and rummaging, and there was no harm to my family.
After rummaging through the poles for a while, he walked away with the only bit of tatter stuff in the house, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
When the pole was gone, the mother-in-law hurriedly urged her husband to bolt the courtyard door tightly, but the old king shook his head and gave up when he thought about it, bolted the courtyard door, and he might be broken into the door again.
At this time, I suddenly heard the boy next door scolding, but then there was a scream and there was no more sound, followed by a heart-rending dry howl of the old sister-in-law, the old man Wang trembled all over, and hugged his wife and grandson tighter. What else to rebel against? That kid died too unjustly.
But now I can only take care of myself, in this troubled world, where there is justice at all, in this troubled world, human life is not as good as pigs and dogs, die and die, as long as you live, that's everything.
"Bang", the courtyard gate that was originally open was kicked again, and a group of poles rushed in again, but this time they were not for finance, but to pull in the gang.
The attitude was quite polite, and the little leader of the pole said calmly: "Old man, join the righteous army of the Great Chuang King, drink wine and eat meat, come on." ”
Join the Rebels? Pull it down, no, what you're doing is what the rebels look like? King Da Chuang, then Lu Shi is King Chuang, what are you? Burn and kill the poles of the plunder, and let us be the poles, that is, let us be the dead of the trenches.
"Ladies and gentlemen." The old king turned over and knelt down, kowtowing again and again, "My wife and I are already in our fifties, and we can no longer hold knives and guns, besides, we are all small people, where do we have a good future like the kings?" The kings of the balls let me go, which can only add a burden to the army, old guy who eats for nothing. ”
When the little leader heard this, his eyes stood up, and he changed color at that time and said, "What? Give a shame to you, let you join the rebel army, that is to look at you, don't you want to join the rebel army, and still want to work for the government? When he said this, he cut off half of the big knife in his hand on the door panel, and said with a cruel smile: "Since you don't want to join the rebel army, you want to join the official army, well, I'll kill you now." ”
What is the truth of this? The old king had to buckle his head again and again and begged bitterly, and finally, the king put down his thigh, put away the knife, nodded and said pitifully: "It seems that you are a good citizen, not an official army, in that case, I will not force it, so I will let you go." ”
The old king nodded with blood donation on his face, overjoyed, I really didn't expect that this pole would be so easy to speak, and just about to thank him again, the little leader of the pole twisted his head to his brothers: "It's burned." ”
Before the old king got up, those poles were on fire and thrown on the old king's house, and immediately a flame rose into the sky, and immediately connected with the surrounding neighbors' houses, and in an instant, the entire Yanchuan fell into a sea of fire.
Everything is gone, several generations of hard work, after disappearing, even the last place to live is no longer there, if you want to live longer, then you can only follow the pole, so the old king stood up, pulled up his wife and grandson, took the little leader stuffed him with a wooden stick, in the flames of the city, became a new pole, with the rolling torrent of the army to kill Weinan.
