Chapter 467: The Gentry Rebel
An Minyuan reluctantly withdrew from the state office, and his saliva was dry all morning, but Li Dao was stunned as if he hadn't heard it, what could he do?
The gentry who came with him today were all people in Haozhou who were more compatible with the ruling Liangshan army. At the beginning, Song Gongming raised his noble hand and let them escape, these people were all timid and obedient, and the experience of escaping under the knife completely frightened their courage. Since then, these people have become the first supporters of the Liangshan Army to be subdued locally.
But that's why they're so worried. Worried that in order to avoid the sharpness of the Western Army, the Liangshan Army also made the Western Army feel at ease and boldly attack Jinling, not just discarding the Wuwei Army, but also losing more places.
You say, for example, Luzhou and Haozhou.
That's their concern.
It is important to know that rumors never stop at the wise, and rumors can only be overwhelmed by another rumor. The rumors spread in Haozhou today are complex and diverse, and they are packed with thousands of packages. But don't say it, then there are really people who believe it.
In Chihe Town, in the Anjia mansion, a man with a cold face was kneeling on the ground.
An Minyuan, who had just returned from Haozhou City, had already jumped up a little, and his face was full of disbelief. Looking back at the eldest man who stayed at home, he said, "Really? Who is Li Quina taking advantage of? Dare to gather a gang to rebel in Guzhen, and also take Zhongli County, aren't you afraid that Liangshan soldiers and horses will kill them without leaving a piece of armor? ”
It is really shocking news, Li Kui Na also escaped with his life under the knife at the beginning, but his attitude has not changed much, and he is not close to Liang Shanjun. There have been rumors in Haozhou City several times that the officials want to see Li Kui. Don't look at his name and the famous black whirlwind, but he is a bird in the eyes of Liang Shanjun?
"Steward Liu just sensed that something was wrong, so he left Zhongli County one step earlier, otherwise how could the child know the news." This man with a cold face who has not retreated is his An family's steward in Zhongli County, and he felt that something was wrong and left the city one step earlier, otherwise he would have been trapped in Zhongli.
"Father, there is no need to hesitate. I, An's family, are close to the Liangshan Army, and there is no turning back. The second brother works as an errand in the state government, and the third brother works in the garrison, which is well known to everyone. I settle down ......" An Jialang's eyes were vicious, and his face was extremely hideous, "The Li family should die, and the rebellious thieves should be cut down and eradicated." "Categorical to his father.
"The Father knows, and the Father knows." An Minyuan is not the master who dropped the chain at a critical moment. At that moment, the confidant came, "Hurry, hurry up and report to the state capital." Then he called the servant to the town office to report the emergency. said to the eldest son: "Go and gather Ding Zhuang in the family." As long as Zhongli's thieves dare to take a step in Chihe Town, the old man will fight with them. ”
Chihe Town is not only the base camp of the An family, but also the three workshops built by An Minyuan. Especially the iron workshop, he used a hydraulic forging hammer in the spring and summer of this year, and the latter's 'power' was indeed shocking, but the whole cost also made An Minyuan feel distressed.
If Chihe Town is hit by a military disaster, his own iron workshop is afraid that it will be difficult to preserve, and An Minyuan really has a desperate heart.
In the city of Haozhou, Li Daozheng was furious. never expected that such a big disapproval would happen under his rule, which really angered his belly.
"This official wants to make an amazing performance and show off the king's majesty. But that's not the case! ”
Fiercely pinched the emergency report and fell to the ground, below Li Dao, and the officials above the seventh grade in Haozhou City all held their breath and concentrated. Only the soldiers and horses made Han Tao, the general of Baisheng, had a hideous face, like devouring people.
In addition to such things under his rule, not only Li Dao has had it, but even if he Han Tao has just taken office, he is also very shameless. "This guy is unscrupulous. Song Zhao begged to save his life, but now he has come to sit against him, making me and others unlucky. Han Taofei smashed this guy before he relieved his hatred. ”
"There are still two battalions of soldiers in the city, and the general will take them. I ordered the general to recruit local township soldiers and people to serve bravely. "Li Daoxin knows about the war, and he is not as good as Han Tao. Clench your fists and make a fist, and everything is entrusted.
Han Tao was overjoyed when he heard this. Although this garrison belongs to the commander of the soldiers and horses, it is not his own decision to send troops to suppress the chaos. What's more, there are only two battalions of recruits left in Haozhou City at the moment, if this Taishou is a little timid and insists on leaving a battalion to guard the city, what can Han Tao do? Such things were not uncommon in the Great Song Dynasty.
When there was a civil unrest in the local area, the first consideration of the county officials was to defend the city, dispatch village soldiers to defend the city, and then talk about other things.
is as sharp as Li Dao, which really makes Han Tao happy.
Zhongli County, the city is low, the moat is simple, but it is already a full guard like a great enemy. Even the landlords and gentry who came into the city with a difficult color were also in a hurry, and they came and went in a hurry. Prepare the money for filial piety, but everyone really takes the title deed they get back in their hands seriously.
Li Kui's gang was crazy, and as soon as Li Ying and Waihe captured Zhongli County, they tortured and killed the county commander, the county Cheng, the lord Bo and others. The prison cells are now full of people who used to be errand men in the yamen, and none of them are embarrassed. And the families of these people have an even more miserable end. The small Zhongli county lost hundreds of lives in a short period of time, and dozens of heads hung on the head of the city. It's crazy, like a volcanic eruption that has been suppressed for countless years.
The demeanor of Li Kui's class is like a group of evil ghosts who have crawled out of the ghost gate. The tragedy in Zhongli County is unbearable to witness.
But those of them who weren't involved in it weren't crazy.
I don't know how many people reluctantly got out of the city, looking at the brand new title deed in their hands, but they just smiled contemptuously. The Liangshan army was thrown in a big way, and the official army only defeated the Wuwei army, not the Yidu City, and the situation in Huainan was far from collapsing. At this time, this group of people jumped out, didn't they kill themselves?
But thinking about Li Kui, they didn't jump out of vain.
You only live once. People who don't worry about eating or drinking are very precious to their own lives. It's going to be ......, no one can figure it out.
Han Tao led two battalions of garrisons, plus hundreds of requisitioned township soldiers, and rushed straight to Zhongli County. But the 'rebels' in Zhongli County are already in action.
In Zhangzhuang, a few miles away from the county seat, a "righteous army" rushed towards the village with lightning speed.
A small village, unobstructed by tall walls. Killings and screams soon rang out through the village. Li Tun took the lead in breaking into a mansion, which was the home of Zhang Zhuang's original wealthy advocate Dalong, but Zhang Dalong's reputation was too bad, when Song Jiang led the army to capture Zhongli County, he intended to raise his noble hand to the gentry in Huainan, but he also cut off Zhang Dalong's head with a knife.
If so, this rural "mansion" with blue bricks and black eaves was divided by the Zhang Dalong people. The emperor also had three poor relatives, and there were even more poor relatives of the squires in this place. Even though these Zhang clansmen and Zhang Dalong are of the same clan, they may not be able to get an extra mouthful of food. How did Zhang Dalong's thousands of acres of land come from? Aren't they all from his father, his ancestors, and himself who oppressed the neighboring clans?
Zhang Dalong's reputation is stinky, what is the reason? Isn't it just that this guy and the people of the same clan are ruthless, wolf-hearted?
But it is precisely because of this that Zhang Zhuang is especially hated by Li Kui. Although these old landlord giants, although they lived under Song Jiang's knife, when Song Gongming first entered Huainan, he could only rely on Liangshan, sparing their lives, but he would not change much to Lu Qian's harsh policies. A considerable part of the deprived benefits of these large families were divided among the neighboring clansmen.
If so, these people may not be able to kill their own clan, but they can pick a few places to kill chickens and monkeys, but it is also simple.
Li Tun is the son of Li Kui, who practices some fists and kicks on weekdays, stabbing guns and sticks, and has a very hot personality. This time, his father took the lead in the incident, but he was just right. led the old dog friends and fox friends, mixed in, and became a leader in the army. This trip to Zhangzhuang is mainly based on him. kicked open the door, it was straight over, the knife in his hand flipped, the silver light flashed, and the man with a stick in one hand fell to the ground, and the head rolled directly out of a dozen steps.
Li Tun didn't look back, leading people to rampage inward, as long as he saw people, he would slash them. This is to wash Zhang Zhuang in blood, and no one will be left.
……
In Chihe Town, five or six hundred young men had gathered, and standing on the side of this group were two hundred township soldiers. The latter only had some knives, spears, and clubs in their hands, and their weapons were no different from the former, but after training and training, they stood together in the open space, and their momentum was immediately different.
Look at the spirit of the soldiers!
These are the forces that the entire Chihe Town has gathered.
"Bell, bell, ......" Several gongs sounded, and the officials of the town office appeared one after another. Everyone should panic, Taishou Xianggong has already sent soldiers and horses straight to Zhongli. We gathered the people, not to quell the rebellion, but to defend ourselves. ”
"I think that two hundred young people in Chihe Town practice martial arts and boxing on weekdays, so what's the matter? Isn't it just that I can protect the villagers and elders at all times......"
The words not only made the ordinary people of Chihe Town feel at ease when they heard it, but An Minyuan also felt that he had put his heart back in his stomach.
But Han Tao won't, looking at the tragic scene in front of him, Yum has turned the heart in his heart into flames, as if swallowing his whole person.
Looking at the crying baby in front of him, as well as the sister who had fainted, although it was the cold winter of Layue, he consciously had a wave of anger rising from his heart and burning his entire body.
"Beasts are not as good as beasts, thieves deserve to die-" Yum pulled out his waist knife and slammed it into the locust tree in his left hand, and the thigh-thick tree was cut off at the waist. "Soldiers, our garrison is standing to defend the township. Today, the thieves are so cruel to the people of Haozhou, what do you say——? ”
"Kill, kill, kill!"
"Kill them all, leave no one behind-"
"Kill them all, leave no one behind!"
After the slaughter, the yellow mud shop in Zhongli County, which was still turned into a ghost domain, exploded with a loud shout of killing. During that period, there were Zhongli's children in this county, and their eyes were blood-red, glowing with the blood flame of revenge.
However, after Han Tao led his troops into the yellow mud shop, he found that the people in the entire market here had been killed. Searched the entire yellow mud shop, and found the pair of brothers and sisters who had not died in a catastrophe in a cellar.
The father of the two siblings was slashed to death in the courtyard, and his eldest brother saw his father being killed, wielding an axe to chop wood, and ran like crazy to fight hard, but was dismembered by the thief. Her mother easily stuffed the two siblings into the cellar in the backyard, and when they ran forward, they were struck by an arrow. and her sister-in-law, who passed the door, died even more miserably.
It's not that Yum General hasn't seen a tragedy, but this kind of tragedy happened under the rule of Liangshan Army, which is not only a dereliction of duty by Li Dao and him, but also a great shame.
Liang Shanjun played the banner of 'doing the right thing for heaven and eliminating violence and peace and goodness' several years ago, and after Lu Qian said that after the establishment of the Wang system, he put "love the people" first. But now Zhongli County has given birth to such a tragedy......
