Chapter 62: Panic
didn't wait for the little guy to go out to summon the master, but he collided with a person head-on, and he was caught off guard, and the little guy became a rolling gourd, and quickly got up in embarrassment, and was about to make amends to the man, but the man ignored him like a gust of wind and rushed into the flower hall.
This was followed by a series of shouts: "Oh no, the proprietor is in trouble, woe is in trouble." "When I looked, it was the master of the miscellaneous things who was shouting there.
The little guy was also used to seeing officialdom, and knew that it was better to stay away at this time, and there was no need to cause trouble for watching a lively and strange thing, so he didn't squeak at the moment, and hurriedly ran out to call a few other masters.
Zhang Xianling was wandering there, he was already a master of the six gods, and he was suddenly shouted out by the master of miscellaneous things in such a voice, how could it be a disaster? At that time, he was only shocked, and Mu Du just looked at the sundries master in a daze.
The miscellaneous master recklessly broke into the flower hall and shouted, but he didn't want outsiders to be present, and he was at a loss for a while, so Zhao Yuan saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute and said: "Sir, but you are bothered about the children of the old Xiao'er family being hacked and killed by the Chen family?" Thank you so much here. ”
When the miscellaneous master saw it, where did he still care about this, he scolded at the time: "It's just a small family fight, which year is not like this, what's the fuss?" Now put your affairs aside, I have a big matter to discuss with the proprietor, and you should quickly avoid it. There was a lot of impatience between the words.
That Zhao Yuanwai was originally familiar with these officials, and he could also enter the room, this was the first time he had eaten the color of this master, and he wanted to say a few more words about his own affairs, but when he saw that the master was already red-eyed, the battle was as if he did not retreat, and immediately called someone to fork himself out.
As soon as the county lord who was losing his mind saw the master coming, he stepped forward, grabbed the master's sleeve and hurriedly said, "You came so fast, it's really a disaster, hurry up and give me an idea." ”
Where does the miscellaneous master still care What the county zun said, he just said in a loud voice: "Don't worry about anything else, proprietor, disaster, disaster." ”
When the county magistrate heard this, he thought that what he said seemed to be different from what the master said, and hurriedly asked, "What else is going on?" ”
The master hurriedly said: "Owner, I just got a report from an informant from the countryside, saying that the poles in this county and other neighboring counties have gathered one after another, and the old pole is not muddy as the leader of the alliance, so in the past two days, they will attack the county seat, seize the autumn grain and pay taxes for the winter." ”
"You, you, what do you say? What alliance leader, what autumn grain tax? Zhang Xianling didn't react at the time, and asked with a confused face.
"Proprietor, now that the poles in various places have formed an alliance, and the number of men and horses has reached 50,000, they are gathered in Zhangjiabao, which is thirty miles away, and they are going to attack the county seat in the next two days." The master was so anxious that he stomped his feet again and again.
When Zhang Xianling heard this, he opened his mouth and red ears at that time, and after a while, he sat on the ground with a bang, and actually fainted.
When the master saw it, he was shocked, and hurriedly beckoned a few people outside the door, and lifted the county zun to the couch with all hands and feet.
In fact, Zhang Xianling had long known that such a thing would happen sooner or later, but he was just deceiving himself and telling himself that the world was peaceful.
This Shaanxi people are fierce, more down-and-out horse households, horse bandits outside the Saiwai horse bandits, you come and go, it is not a good life, but God does not open his eyes, it is actually three consecutive years of drought and no rain, and the land along the river has been invaded by powerful households in every way, the people have long been bored with the people, the turf and tree roots are full of belly, and the rate has become a homeless person, and there is more eunuch time to urge excessively, and the local government only looks at the performance evaluation, but there is no relief and pension, and Qingliu came to power, and it is even more intensified to increase the tax burden and miscellaneous donations, chasing the arrears of previous years, and making the people resentful.
When there are many displaced people, they all go to beg for food, where are the small people who go to give alms? Counting on those landlords to be strong? Forget it, I know them best, and I'd rather put the mountains of grain in the warehouse and rot it, rather than take out a grain for those mud legs, and you can take it, that is, the money from the donkey's rolling, and a bucket of grain will make you not finish it for generations.
The homeless people have nowhere to beg for food, so they can only go up the mountains to gather righteousness and grass for cowards, and plunder everywhere, but not to mention other places, it is the rice fat that is quite rich and flat, and there are five bandits on the surrounding mountains, and they have gathered three or five thousand, or two or three thousand, and the largest has tens of thousands of people, and the mud is one of them.
Originally, there was also a thousand households guarding the place in the county, but if you look at the current thousand households, where is there still the grand occasion of Hong Wuye? Originally, the military households received the grace of Hong Wuye, and there were military tun land to live, but now, the government has been bad for a long time, and the land of the military households is either embezzled by the officers, or plundered by the powerful, or it is allocated by the imperial court to Wang Zhuang Wang Tian, which has become the private property of the old Zhu family, where is there still half of it?
Now the original quota of 1,000 households should be more than 1,200, but now it is good, those who can run have run, and those who can't run have some physical strength, and they have also become the long-term workers of those tenants who are pickled at the head of the army, and there are only five or six hundred soldiers who are half-dead, that is, they can't even stand steadily, and they have to live hard, and there is still no escape, and there is no escape, and they are waiting there for the court to send a few months before they can send a little bit of food and salary, and it is simply a fool's dream to expect these pickled goods to destroy the surrounding poles.
Well, now it's really a thief with a lot of power, and he can already gather forty or fifty thousand people to fight the idea of the county seat, but with the current strength of the county, where is the slightest ability to resist? Think about the autumn grain tax that I worked so hard to collect is still in the city, and I didn't recruit the people to serve on a bad luck, but I attracted a pole to peep, this is the capital of my own promotion, fortune and political achievements, and it is also half of my furniture, all the future, if something happens, then I not only have no hope of promotion, but even have the danger of losing my official position, how can I not let myself faint?
Things are coming, you can't hide, but it's even more difficult to let yourself think about the charter, tens of thousands of hungry people, where is your little millet fat hundreds of officers and soldiers still an opponent? Asking for help from Fuzun? Shaking his head, he immediately dispelled this ridiculous idea.
In this situation, which county is not full of bandits? At the beginning, a county order who did not know the current affairs came to the government and told him to ask for troops to encircle and suppress it. But he got a reprimand for being incompetent and impure in the place, why are bandits rampant in your county but not in other counties? Without asking for any reason, he beat the person who came to the board and said: "This hungry scoundrel is also self-determined after plundering to Ming Chun." "Now that I think about it, my butt hurts a little.
Now, everyone knows but everyone has to pretend not to know, what you want above is to whitewash the peace, and the next is to be content with the status quo, as long as you don't have a shortage of tax money and food, as long as the bandits don't cause a big mess, turn a blind eye to things, I won't provoke you, how good it is that we have nothing to do, but why are you just my enemy if you don't get mud? Isn't this a matter of death?
Suddenly his head turned, why don't you find an excuse to hide in the city for a few days? Wait until the poles are done looting, and then come back after they go? But it's not appropriate to think about it, the Ming Dynasty punished the officials who lost their land and punished them heavily, and it was common sense to raid their homes and destroy their homes, and they couldn't afford it.
This is really death in and death, and running away is also death, so what can I do?
This is indeed a great disaster
Looking at the owner with a blank face, the master didn't care about etiquette, and urged eagerly: "The proprietor, don't be stunned, hurry up and get a charter out, the pole has gathered in Zhangjiabao, dozens of miles outside the county seat, to attack the county seat, the time is only these two days, and if you don't hurry up, everything will be over." ”
was shouted by the master repeatedly, Zhang Xianling shuddered, and then came back to his senses, grabbed the master's hand, and said in a trembling voice: "This county is now six gods and no master, please teach me." ”
That master is a breath of air, he is a landing talent, he can only dance and ink, with many years of franchise, only to mix food and manage some sundries in your place, I don't know anything about this battle at all, you ask me, I ask who is coming?
I know the current situation in the county, and I rushed to report it with the righteousness of the master and servant, otherwise I would have taken my family and left to avoid trouble.
"Otherwise, let's talk to Master Qian, Mr. Qian is wise, maybe there is a charter to resolve the crisis."
As soon as Master Qian was mentioned, Zhang Xianling immediately regained his soul, that Master Qian is not only old and sophisticated, but also unparalleled in wisdom, in this year, there is no thing that he can't do, and he can't plan everything, so he hurriedly said: "Then don't you go and invite Master Qian to come." Immediately pounded the edge of the bed and urged the next human.
"Don't panic, the proprietor is here." At this time, a loud and calm response from outside the door, followed by a sound of boots, the door curtain was lifted, and a thin and handsome scribe stepped into the room. ”
As soon as Zhang Xianling saw the comer, it was like a person who had fallen into the water saw a wooden plank, and said angrily: "Mr. save me, Mr. save me." ”
Master Qian smiled faintly and said, "I also learned that the proprietor should not worry too much, it is just a group of rabble, and it can't be a big deal." ”
When Zhang Xianling heard this, he said eagerly: "Mr. Qian should not be taken lightly, this thief has gathered tens of thousands, how powerful is it?" Broke Zhangjiabao again, and got the help of Zhangjiabao food and materials, if you look at the current situation in the county, how can we be able to resist the unbearable soldiers of the guards? Sir, think of a way to do it. ”
Looking at the proprietor lying on the bed, with six gods and no owner, Master Qian shook his head secretly.
In fact, Master Qian looked down on this proprietor from the heart, a nerd from the south, in addition to being a franchise, he was simply a waste, he was just a generous bundle for him, and he also used the power of the government to do some dirty things to support his family, so he was wronged by his side, and at this time he was even more unbearable, and he was inevitably disgusted in his heart.
But when the matter came out, I actually knew that once the city was broken, I would attract the envy of the people the most, and I must not be good.
