Chapter 197: Rebellion
The morning sun dispersed the darkness with a chill, the earth returned to light, on the streets on both sides, one by one merchants opened their doors and began to do business, and the people on the road who were dressed in tatters walked on the street, took off their winter cotton jackets, and wore long shirts, but a considerable number of people were directly wearing winter clothes, but they were wearing long shirts, and they were frostbitten one by one, which looked quite terrifying.
Stamped, a chaotic sound of footsteps came, and a group of soldiers came in the distance, they waved flags, and wrote "Kill the enemy to serve the country, but there is no food to feed your parents, and heaven is intolerable"
A group of soldiers wearing mandarin duck battle jackets, their faces are full of fierceness, mixed with some people in the middle, they look like family members fanning the flames in the middle.
"Brothers, go on, go and make trouble, as long as you kill the Qin Xiaochuan Mansion, he will give us the arrears of money and food," said the middle family member, many of whom were armed with firearms.
These soldiers didn't think about why Chen Dahai had to ask Qin Xiaochuan for the arrears of food, these were too complicated things for them, and it was okay to get the arrears of silver taels.
One after another, some green-skinned hooligans on the street joined in, and the original team of 1,200 people increased to nearly 2,000 people.
They rushed to the outside of the commander's mansion and began to shout, and many of the family members in the middle raised their black firearms, ready to fire them when people came out of it.
"Give me the money, or I'll rush in"
"Master Bing, I haven't eaten for three days, hurry up and send the food and salary."
"Hurry up and give the salary"
They shouted at the door for a long time, and the sound was getting louder and louder, so that the entire Qingzhou Acropolis could hear this earth-shattering sound.
Some of the greenskins in the middle had already seen this chaos, and their hearts were ecstatic, and when it was time to make trouble, these greenskinned hooligans took advantage of the chaos and began to plunder everywhere.
Those green skins began to take the opportunity to make trouble, and the soldiers were also in chaos, they were soldiers with bad military discipline, and they did this kind of thing on weekdays, but this time the scale was bigger for them, and they saw that no one in the mansion looked at those green skins and robbed, they were also hot-eyed, and they all went with them.
The soldiers in the vicinity rushed into the merchants or houses, and they shouted loudly. Those family members obviously didn't expect things to develop like this, they were all stunned, but some gritted their teeth and directly joined the plundering army.
The remaining one looked at his companion and said, "It's so messy, then how can you assassinate Qin Xiaochuan?"
"Go and report to the adults" one of the Ding Dao, after speaking, they left, they watched the people in the city suffer, but no one to manage, for them these people are like weeds on the side of the road, dead naturally die, like He Renlong, and the four towns of Jiangbei, the army of that town is not like this, who has to manage?
Several soldiers rushed into a private house, and the group of elderly people, who were already poor, were crying and watching them snatch the family's only remaining rations.
The soldier shouted loudly, his voice was excited, and kicked the old man to the ground.
The daughter-in-law of the family on the side was indeed pushed to the table by several soldiers and tore her clothes, her eyes were full of madness.
Nearby, her parents were screaming in tears, and they were punched to the ground by the soldier, "What are you shouting, and then shouting that Lao Tzu will kill you"
The woman fell on the table with tears in her eyes and kept resisting. "Every day, every day," her eyes were full of sorrow
Search~
There was a sound of arrows scurrying into the flesh, and a voice that was as cold as the sound of nine shadows came.
"The lord has an order, the rebels in the city are in rebellion, and the rebels are in turmoil, and there is no mercy for killing!"
"No Mercy"
"No Mercy"
An arrow passed through the neck of the soldier lying on the woman's body, and the blood oozed out like a bloody arrow, and he touched his neck and fell, his eyes full of regret.
From a distance, the soldier who looked like an iron man, the bright silver armor made them fearful, and the soldier at the head held a heavy sword with a cold glow in his hand, he raised it with one hand, and his face was as cold as ice.
The soldiers instantly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, and when they saw such a terrifying army, they still had the intention of making trouble, so they immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
"We just want food"
"Spare your life, spare your life"
"Why do you want food and pay to harm the people," the soldiers led by him said coldly, and the seven or eight iron men in the back raised their weapons at the same time, and the two strong archers in the back pulled away with a creaking sound, and Sen Han's arrows were aimed at the chaotic soldiers.
"They're just a herd of alpacas, what's wrong with us killing them, the jungle eats the strong." The soldier said this as if it was a matter of course, as if he couldn't figure out why anyone would care about robbing the people.
Poof~ The heavy sword of the iron wall guard swept through, and the blade slashed across the neck of the chaotic soldier.
A thin red line on his neck, and then blood gushed out like a spring, and he wanted to ask for mercy, but it was indeed a mouthful of blood blisters. Tumbling on the ground in pain.
"The law of the jungle, is it natural for me to kill you," the iron wall guard led by him, and the archer behind him released the bowstring after speaking.
The arrows flew through the necks of the rebels.

In the Chen family's mansion, the three of them were all frightened when they heard that Xiaochuan's elite in the city was slaughtering their soldiers, and Chen Dahai immediately had a layer of fine sweat on his face, pinched his cheeks and said, "What, I was slaughtered by two hundred people with one thousand?" “
"The brothers are in a mess and can't organize a counterattack," said the messenger.
Chen Dahai and several people immediately walked out, ready to organize the army to resist, Chen Dahai wiped his sweat, with a trace of regret in his heart, this kind of ruthless person actually ordered the massacre of his own soldiers, is this still a person? He walked out and said: "Quick, quick, we have to organize a rebellion" He was even more determined to kill Qin Xiaochuan, this ruthless character could not be stayed, but none of them knew that Xiaochuan was not in the city at all, and had already run outside the city.

The whistling sea breeze carries the chill with the raging waves, and the rows of waves swell against the reef on the shore, and the sound of shouting and killing can be heard in the ears mixed with the waves crashing against the reef. In front of me is the system of building a wharf or a dock of various information, the sea is a man's feelings, or a blank in the Ming Dynasty, a blank in power, where there are countless business opportunities now, the same whether it is the Manchu Qing Dynasty, or the Ming Dynasty No one has set their eyes on the sea, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for themselves.
Looking at the direction of the city in the distance, where the skyrocketing firelight and the bursts of shouting and killing made people panic. At this moment, the rebellion in the city has been eliminated, those rebels are really a group of fools, if you don't provoke them, it's not good to find a chance to start, so do it yourself, hehe, aren't you looking for death?
With a heavy back, Mrs. Chu picked up a mink coat and draped it on Xiao Chuan, and said softly, "It's cold here, let's go and sit in the pavilion."
Xiao Chuan nodded, this cotton mink wool hi with a fragrance, and said, "Why don't you catch up with Lord Yu?" “
"The deceased husband of the slave family has an old relationship with Lord Yu, but he doesn't want to do much with the slave family" Mrs. Chu showed a bitter smile, and the sea breeze blew her hair away, dancing with her sky-blue skirt.
Yu Dongyang on the side had a trace of indescribable joy in his eyes, but he didn't expect that Chu Baichuan's wife and daughter, who were also Qingliu, were protected by Xiaochuan
walked into the pavilion, and in the pavilion was Yu Frozen Yang and a group of patriarchs. The six patriarchs each had a look of arrogance on their faces.
Yu Dongyang still had the same smile on his face, and when he saw Xiaochuan coming to smell, "Why is there a sound of firecrackers, but you are practicing firecrackers"
"No, it's just a bunch of small people in the city who are in the way," Xiao Chuan laughed, not talking about the chaos in the city.
"General Qin, you haven't handled your own affairs well, what are you doing by calling a few of our old men over!"
"Yes, what are you calling us for, Lord Yu!"
Several patriarchs said with unkind faces, but no one was ready to leave, as if they were waiting for something, and the corners of their eyes were aimed at Xiaochuan.
Yu Dongyang looked at Xiao Chuan, he was just playing the role of a middleman.
These people are the patriarch of the Haizhou big family and others, among which the old man of the first family in Haizhou is also the one who spoke just now, he looks smiling, always with a kind face, and said, "This Lord Zhizhou, if you have nothing to do, a few of our old men will leave."
"Ladies and gentlemen, don't worry," Xiao Chuan turned his head, his eyes moved away from the dock data of the system, looked at the patriarchs, and said, "I'm here to discuss a business with you." A very big business! ”
"Could it be the soap business" The patriarchs were all greedy in their eyes, and the right hand of the Jiang family patriarch led by them trembled a little. It stands to reason that a Qingzhou Wei commander can make a Haizhou governor be able to pull such a group of Haizhou real controllers from their family compound to this seaside? I'm afraid it's impossible to get an official up the next level. Soap, only the interest of soap can pull them over, this kind of naked monetary interest, is to let them dry by the sea, they are all willing.
"No, it's not soap" Xiao Chuan shook his head, and said, "Soap is a secret of my fortress and will never be passed on to others, patriarchs, you don't have to think about this"
Xiao Chuan said that these patriarchs of mine are all angry, and the Jiang family patriarch did breathe a sigh of relief and said, "Alas, you can't say that, General Qin, everyone earns this money together, and this money can become more and more, isn't it?"
Unexpectedly, this old man actually aimed at his own soap, Xiao Chuan smiled and said, "I have a more profitable livelihood than soap."
"What!" All the patriarchs did not believe it, and there was something more profitable than this.
"This ocean," Xiao Chuan said coldly, looking at the sea.
What the! The faces of the patriarchs were immediately dull, they never expected Xiao Chuan to come to such a sentence. The ocean, some of them have been frightened, is it a ban on the sea, although the imperial court banned the sea, but the actual situation is that the total amount of maritime trade in the Ming Dynasty is the highest in all dynasties.
They evaded taxes and avoided taxes, resulting in a pitiful lack of tax revenue for the imperial court, isn't this the case with these families? They would rather give money to pirate protection money, but in this dynasty they don't call it this money, Zheng Chenggong, Liu Xiang and other pirates.
The patriarchs of the family all became solemn in an instant, and Patriarch Jiang had a thin layer of cold sweat on his face.
