"Brothers and brothers, you see that natural disasters and man-made disasters have caused hunger everywhere, and the people are struggling to make a living, and poles in various places have raised the banner of rebellion, or roaring in the mountains and forests, or wandering in the villages, there are countless big poles, and there are many small poles. And why did the government not kill it with great fanfare, but closed its eyes? ”

"Why?" Guo Tianxing looked at Lu Shi with confused eyes, even if he was really confused.

"Because there are no rafters that have come out, that is to say, there is no pole that can alarm the above, and the county officials and garrisons around the country are happy to close their eyes and get by, as long as the taxes and money and food are not bad, then what does it matter if you make a lot of trouble? The only way to deal with the homeless people in the territory under their jurisdiction is to try their best to cover up, to create a false impression that they are quite peaceful, and to deceive themselves and others in order to win good political performance and promotion.

And if there is this rafter that comes out, it will be different, since it has already alarmed the above, we must try our best to kill and exterminate it. In this way, not only do you have to work hard to exterminate the pole, but also make a mess of incompetence in governing the place, resulting in the evaluation of thieves, and the end of losing your official position and dismissal. ”

Lu Shi smiled and said what he knew about the historical officialdom of the late Ming Dynasty, and then said, "Once you become this early rafter, brother, you will be the target of everyone, with the current strength of the government and the court, compared with the current strength of you and me, we may be a thunderous blow to the court?" ”

Zhao Dahai and Guo Tianxing stayed there, their faces were extremely pale, and after a long time, Guo Tianxing stood up with difficulty, and said deeply to Lu Shiyi: "Thank you, Mr. for secretly protecting, this is to save the lives of thousands of people in Hezhai, and I am here on behalf of the four thousand fathers and elders of the cottage Thank you Mr. for saving your life." ”

Lu Shi hurriedly smiled and helped him up, and said humbly: "Don't do this, after all, they are all poor people, so let's talk about our next step." ”

Everyone opened their hearts and spoke more intimately, so Lu Shi and Zhao Dahai discussed with Tianxing for a long time, arranged all the details, and then went down the mountain.

Back in Zhangjiazhuang, the old and young villagers who got the news came to inquire about the results, Lu Shi and Zhao Dahai said to everyone 1510, and for a time the whole village cheered in a low voice, and they all bowed to Lu Shi Zhao Dahai for saving his life.

Lu Shi had no choice but to give the credit to Zhao Dahai, and Zhao Dahai also knew that Lu Shi's brother didn't want to come out, so he was used by Ruyi, and only a smile remained.

With hope, the whole village was no longer panicked, and according to Lu Shi's arrangement, they began to sort out their own carts and cars, looking for sacks and other things. Of course, Lu Shi also arranged for a few relatively young people to be sentry at the entrance of the village to prevent the spies sent by Zhangjiabao to spy on the truth.

Zhangjiabao is also honest, they simply can't imagine that these honest dealers dare to hook up the pole, far above the fort wall, see the people of Zhangjiazhuang in and out of the search as much as possible financial preparation for ransom, and rest assured, Zhang Lao Wai actually values the most or the windmill drawings and the windmill that was made, as for the food, I also know that there is little left of their own looting, a little more, no less, now it seems that everything has been under control, and they are waiting for the villagers of Zhangjiazhuang to honestly offer things.

When it was dark and the fourth watch, a team of 500 poles quietly rushed into Zhangjiazhuang, and the leader of the team was of course Guo Tianxing.

Lu Shi had already informed the people, and everyone did not panic, and when these people hid their hands, they came to Zhang Laoshi's house with Guo Tianxing, covered the windows with quilts, lit oil lamps, and the three of them worked out the details again, although this was a plan that was close to perfect, but there could be no mistakes.

This time, the five hundred poles are the most elite in the hands of Guo Tianxing, and they also scraped all the instruments and weapons on the whole cottage, and also brought seventy longbows that have just been made, which can be used for the elite, and Guo Tianxing is also for his brothers, and it is inevitable to win, and the plan is smooth, even if it doesn't go well, he must launch a strong attack for future survival.

Lu Shi has also secretly checked the terrain of Zhangjiabao for defense, and also asked the villagers to secretly gather the ladders of each family, and tie two or three together, in case of failure, to do what is needed from time to time.

Lu Shi repeatedly told Tianxing, poured into Zhangjiabao, only killed the first evil Zhang family's grandchildren, and resisted, other Zhuang and Zhang family distant relatives and can not be killed, there are many big families, but not all of them are evil, there are also cattle and horses for the patriarch, most of those Xiangyong are long-term tenants, all are poor, killed and injured are suspected of fratricide, there is a dry Tianhe, and leave a glimmer of life for them.

Guo Tianxing is now obedient to Lu Shi, although he sneers at Mr.'s Bodhisattva heart in his heart, but he still arranges for his subordinates to be notified one by one.

Although Zhao Dahai is a little disdainful of Lu Shi's weak character, after all, he has come to this point, it is not a rebellion or a rebellion, everything is up to you, and if you don't cut the grass and eradicate the roots of the big government households, that is to reserve a disaster for yourself, so how can you survive in this troubled world? But he also sincerely admires his kind-hearted brother, and can be kind to the enemy, so he will be more tolerant and accepting of his brother, which is a good thing, and let him be.

Everything is quietly tense, and victory or defeat will be one move tomorrow.

The autumn morning is breezy and the sky is still not half cloudy, but the sun that has just climbed out does not hesitate to sprinkle the infinite heat on the earth, sweeping away even the last bit of water in the soil of the earth.

On Zhangjiabao, several villagers were lazily holding spears and knives, leaning on the edge of the female wall of the city wall to chat and fart, chatting and chatting in the east and west, and occasionally a happy word, which also caused a burst of soft laughter.

The current team leader Zhang Feng, looking up at the sky, couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it was the weather of a damn autumn tiger, and the sun seemed to never stop if it didn't suck away the last trace of moisture on the earth, and it was really compared with the official family, but it just took pity on the people who were suffering in the world.

In the summer of this year, just a few light rains, there is no use for the dealer at all, far away from the fields of the river beach, at the beginning of spring or simply abandoned, there are also those who are unwilling, plant the precious seeds, either no germination or grow out and become dry firewood in a blink of an eye, a fire can ignite the whole piece, where are you still counting on the harvest?

When those families saw that the autumn harvest was hopeless, they could only drag their families to other places to escape the famine? Where is not all the same? The poor are kind-hearted, but they are also poor fleeing the famine, where is there still half a bowl of rice and grain for you?

Last time, I was sent by the old patriarch to Xi'an on business, along the way, hunger was everywhere, and the elm trees seen on both sides of the road were more than one person tall without bark, revealing white and miserable trunks, waiting for death under the sun.

The rich have bread, but who is the one with a good heart? Even if you starve to death, there will be no sadness and sympathy in front of the door, counting on this government? But don't even think about it, those officials and lords are all tying up the new emperor, not only this year's tax money and grain are the same, even the past arrears must be returned, the big families and gentry do not pay food, these are all on those small people, this natural disaster is followed by a man-made disaster, I don't know how many people are ruined, alas, this world.

I heard that at this time, the place in northern Shaanxi near Mongolia is good to die and the grasshopper has risen, the grasshopper flies, like a dark cloud, at the beginning the people are glad that this is the rain to come, but do not want to be those plague gods, for a while, that is, the common people rely on the grass and trees that raise some chickens and ducks to survive, and it became a white ground in an instant, but it is not worse?

The Mongolian Tartars are also suffering from drought, this is another grasshopper, and the disaster is also serious, it was originally going to come out to loot in winter, but now it has just entered the Great Wall in autumn, and the border army of the government is frightened three times a day, and the supply is busy, and the supply of various places can not be interrupted, which is another expense on the small people.

I feel sorry for myself here, in fact, look at Brother Zuo, isn't that such a bitter person? It's just that the old patriarch saw that he still had a little strength to squeeze, so he rewarded a bite of hungry food, but when this pole is full of bandits, isn't it in exchange for his life?

But fortunately, he is a member of the Zhang family, although he is already a distant family among distant relatives, although the patriarch is mean, after all, there is some incense, and a few years ago he recorded his more than ten acres of riverside land in the name of Zhang Laoyuan, although he handed over eighty percent of the harvest every year, but after all, he can still get some falling stars, ensuring that the family is half full and does not die.

There is a great drought in the world, there is no harvest in the fields, and every moment they have to be forced and extorted by the officials, they cannot finish their forced labor, and they cannot afford to pay off the debts of the king of Hades. A large number of old and young people in the family, busy for a long year but can only live with wild vegetable bark, but they still have the strength, only by this old owner to look at the village, for them to guard the village, said to protect everyone from the pole robbers, I bah. What else do we have to loot? Where are you and the government fierce? The pole still leaves us as a hard-working man a way to live, but you even want our lives, two bowls of gruel will ask me to wait day and night for you to protect your life, only one liter of moldy millet to feed the family every month, if it is not for them to be able to mow grass for the pigs of the owner, collect firewood and carry water, even this liter of mold grain. Alas, when is this world a head?

It is also pitiful to see that Zhang Jiazhuang Zhang honestly got the help of God and made a windmill, and the traffic and water that kept day and night by the river were so high and big that it made this thousands of acres of fields have a bumper harvest. By the way, several villages near the river also got waterwheels and harvests.

But because of this, he overcharged three or five buckets, but he ended up ruined. Yesterday, the little young master brought Zhang Laoshi and a large number of villagers back to the fort and threw them into the water prison, and the miserable howling in the Zhang family's compound did not stop all night, do you say that this is still reasonable?

Alas, don't worry about others, you haven't finished your own family's affairs yet, so let's take care of yourself.
