To the twenty-ninth of the lunar month (there is no thirty in the lunar calendar of this month), the various entrances of the state city of Ba County, people come and go, although there are local rioters, but the year still has to pass, many people go out to worship their ancestors, and now it is the peak of returning to the city.

Yao Tianjie, the clan brother of the big boss Yao Tiandong, stood on the city wall, facing the cold wind, cursing and scolding in his mouth, now in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, why are the others hiding in the house, holding the woman happy, and he is standing at the head of the city, drinking a little wine to keep warm.
Seeing a few merchants walking under the city wall, Yao Tianjie's eyes widened, these merchants had never seen them, or they would extort a few money, and they would be on the gambling table at night.
Seeing the local thugs investigating, these merchants trembled, stood far away, raised their heads, and stammered: "Big brother, the little one is a person from Langzhong, I heard that you are nervous about New Year's goods here, and the small ones will come to buy New Year's goods as soon as they are combined with a few village descendants." ”
It turned out to be from another county, Yao Tianjie was overjoyed in his heart, and scolded with a straight face: "You people who want money and don't want to die, don't you know that in the past two years, the soldiers have been in trouble and have been fighting wars for many years?"
Don't you want to die and dare to come here to buy something? ”
The guy shook his head and said, "Big brother, of course I'm afraid, but your things here are more expensive."
Take this high-quality pork as an example, 1 yuan of silver in Langzhong can only buy 4 catties, but in your case, 1 yuan of silver can only buy 2 catties.
Big brother, now that the Chinese New Year is over, we just want to earn a little more money and pay the landlord's rent next year? ”
When Yao Tianjie heard this, he was even more annoyed, slapped the guy in the face, and scolded: "You turtle sons, why do you want to fight for the money of our Bazhou people."
The big boss said that we also have to learn from that Yang Xuan, and we also have to collect taxes.
Since you can double the earnings, then each of you will give 3 yuan of silver, otherwise, you will be Yang Xuan's spies. ”
Everyone was shocked, and everyone begged for mercy, and after a long time, each person paid 3 pieces of silver, and then entered the city.
But why do you have so much broken silver on everyone, there is no broken silver, Yao Tianjie is very flexible, and he took 3 coins of broken silver, so he can enter the city.
In the morning, I collected more than 10 taels of silver, and collected more than 40 catties of pork or something, seeing that today's harvest was quite rich, and the minions under my hands smiled one by one, and tonight for the New Year, everyone doesn't have to starve anymore.
Although he was blackmailed fiercely, the captain Liu Weibao gasped and finally blended into the county seat of Ba County.
Liu Weibao is Liu Weiming's brother, who has traveled to and from Ba County many times in the past, and the road is familiar, for fear of being recognized by acquaintances, he quickly found a remote hotel to live in with a load of hemp candy.
Looking at the slightly stunned shopkeeper, Liu Weibao explained: "Tomorrow is the first day of the Lunar New Year, when the city is more lively, stay for a night, and buy a higher price tomorrow." ”
When the sun set, except for a few who left with their burdens, the others stayed in a few shops and temples around the area on the grounds that the goods were not sold out.
Chinese like to celebrate, although now the war is chaotic, but the couplet and firecrackers are indispensable.
After dinner, the sound of firecrackers knocked the whole city non-stop, and the roads were full of people, everyone filled the whole street, all smiling faces, praying for a safe year.
In the middle of the night, the weather is even colder, and many people are too late to run to their homes to rest, and the crowd on the street slowly becomes scarce.
In the third watch season, two loud bangs suddenly sounded outside the south city gate, two cupola cannons crossed the sky, and seeing the sparks flying in the sky, some people were envious and muttered in their mouths, this is the family that is so rich, and now this kind of firecrackers are still being released.
Some dozing off secretly complained to themselves, now that there are many natural disasters, why do you set off so many firecrackers tonight?
And at this moment, there were bursts of gongs and drums outside the south gate, and some people shouted loudly that the loyal and righteous army was coming, everyone hurry up to the city gate, go to the city gate.
Some shouted that the loyal and righteous army had entered the city, so everyone should not snipe lightly, lest they be injured indiscriminately.
Everyone was stunned in their hearts, the loyal army, Yang Xuan? Could it be that tonight will go into Ba County to rescue everyone?
Everyone couldn't sleep, and many people put on their clothes haphazardly and hid in the cracks of the door to watch what was going on.
Since the rioters rebelled five years ago, and Yao Huang occupied Ba County three years ago, no one has ever lived in peace.
Seeing the fire in the city, seeing the city gate slowly open, the 6th regiment (C regiment, for the thousand general) ambushed outside the city, waved his hand and led the troops into the city.
At this time, in the Bazhou Prefecture Yazhong, Yao Tiandong, the leader of Yao Huang, was rubbing his eyes again and again, listening to a small leader nagging: "The boss, the general trend is not good."
Now that the city is full of fires, the south gate has been opened, and the loyal army has entered the city.
Just now, the little one went out to see, the fire dragon ten miles long outside the city, it seems that the loyal army took advantage of our national year to sneak attack our Ba County. ”
Yao Tian was shocked, he worked hard for several years, and finally occupied the city of Bazhou, and lived a life of clothes to reach out for food and open his mouth, if he was driven out by the loyal and righteous army like this, it was cold outside, how could he live?
Turning over and getting up, trembling and putting on cotton clothes and cloth armor, he came to the front of the lobby and saw that the more than 200 personal soldiers who were guarding him had completed the formation, and now they were standing in the middle of the courtyard with their brushes.
Yao Tiandong was overjoyed in his heart, and was about to lead everyone to kill, when he suddenly saw his wife and concubines running out, everyone shouted loudly, asking everyone to move away all the gold, silver, jewelry, and valuable things.
In the past, everyone was born in hardship, but now they have enough food and clothing, although they are fleeing for their lives, everyone is reluctant to give up these treasures.
Seeing his wife and concubine desperately stuffing money into his waist, Yao Tiandong seemed quite hesitant, and he was reluctant to throw away so many valuable things, so he seemed quite hesitant for a while.
After a long time of incense, they panicked when they heard that the loyal and righteous army was coming, and everyone brandished a big knife to kill.
As soon as I arrived at the street, I was blocked by Liu Weibao and others.
After opening the city gate, the soldiers who mixed into the city scattered and set fires, while Liu Weibao led more than 50 people to kill Xiangzhou Yamen, and met Yao Tiandong and others from a distance.
Now seeing that everyone is asking for money and not dying, everyone is overjoyed and has raised their weapons to kill.
Although there are many people and many people, everyone does not dare to fight, and the local rioters do not train much, even Yao Tiandong's pro-army is not very well fed, how can they be the opponents of the loyal army.
After a fight, he was actually defeated, and under the protection of two guards, Yao Tiandong's face was covered with blood, and he desperately fled to the north of the city.
But Yao Tian's golden helmet and golden armor are particularly obvious, in order to escape for his life, the gold, silver and jewelry fell to the ground, and Liu Weibao shouted loudly in the back, and chased after him on the other hand.
And when they heard that Yao Huang's family had fled to the north, there was money everywhere in his body, and some good people in the city couldn't sit still, and everyone participated in the roundup.
Seeing that the loyal and righteous army was getting closer and closer, and he was surrounded by groups, Yao Tiandong knew that his crime was extremely evil, sighed a few times, and finally raised his gun to kill himself.
The city was in chaos, especially after Yao Tiandong's suicide, the local rioters in the city were even more terrified, everyone fled everywhere, and some even took advantage of the looting of the villagers.
Liu Weiming led his troops into the city, quickly controlled the city gates, and then ordered martial law to the whole city, and at noon the next day to quell the riots and control the city.
Riding on a horse, Liu Weiming comforted everyone, and the assistant offices and secretaries of each battalion registered the prisoners, arranged the places of detention, and determined the method of trial, and comforted everyone on the other hand, except for a few who committed great crimes and committed all kinds of evil, after the interrogation was completed, the other prisoners either returned home or arranged for farming.
Since last year, a number of cantonment places have been established in Pengzhou, Dazhou, and Guang'an Prefecture, and many prisoners have lived and worked in peace and contentment.
If it weren't for the dangers of the road, many people might have already defected to the loyal and righteous army to eat, and now they have become prisoners, and everyone is not very afraid, and some even talk and laugh.
At noon, Liu Weiming and Wang Jianjun entered the Zhizhou Yamen together, and the entire Yamen was in a mess.
Turning over and dismounting, Liu Weiming was frightened, let people lead the way, and went straight to the secret room. Looking at more than a dozen boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, Liu Weiming felt a little relieved.
While monitoring his soldiers to count the money and belongings, he called the tent to come to interrogate, and heard that Yao Tiandong had accumulated a total of 780,000 taels of silver, and everyone smiled.
But in fact, it was 23,000 taels less, except for some that Yao Tiandong and others took away when the city was broken, some soldiers also hid silver privately.
Liu Weiming complained bitterly, adults often say that fighting is money, if you hear that someone has swallowed the silver, I don't know what to do?
Sitting with Wang Jianjun, the two discussed the recovery of the silver, and on the other hand, they discussed how to defend the city and prevent Wang Gao, the star of Chaotian, and Hu Jiusi, who traveled thousands of miles, from fleeing to Hanzhong.
