Chapter 10 Punishment and Punishment of Grain Distribution

"It's just a sack, a clay pot, and pushed under the city gate......" Wu Sanniang described the scene at that time.

Li Qingyuan shook his head and said helplessly: "The tighter this gunpowder is, the more powerful it is, don't you see that a little bit of gunpowder in the bird gun can explode the iron barrel, why?" It's because the closer you get, the more powerful it is. ”

Li Qingyuan pointed to the explosives bag and said: "Look, why should I wrap it in more than a dozen layers of cotton cloth, this gunpowder has 60 catties for me, and it can't be blown up, and this broken courtyard wall is not easy to capture." And then tie it up with hemp rope and that's the truth, your father-in-law's usage is not right, ah....... ”

Wu Sanniang looked at the explosives bag, remembered her father-in-law, and looked at Li Qingyuan again: "Why didn't you come to ...... earlier?"

Listening to Wu Sanniang's sigh, Li Qingyuan didn't have anything to say about this group of rebels who didn't understand military affairs, so he made a bracket with the explosives bag, and sent a brave soldier to light it under the enemy's courtyard wall, and then the soldiers quickly ran back.

After a bang, the smoke and dust cleared, the courtyard wall collapsed, and the rebels poured in, and the sounds of slashing and shouting rang for a long time, until the rebellion was completely suppressed, and the rebels pressed the prisoners to withdraw from the courtyard, and searched their bodies before coming out.

This is what Li Qingyuan has repeatedly emphasized, no one is allowed to entrain, hide privately, and offenders will be punished heavily, but there are still people who commit crimes against the wind, and when they searched their bodies, two soldiers were found to be carrying silver taels and jewelry.

Wu Sanniang immediately tied up the soldiers and gave them ten lashes, and the rest of the rebels also woke up, and the two soldiers were taken down to recuperate from their wounds, and the rebel combat troops went to attack the next house.

After the combat units of the rebel army withdrew, Wu Sanniang led the logistics troops into the courtyard to loot the loot, and isolating the combat troops from the trophies was the only way Li Qingyuan thought of maintaining the combat effectiveness of the troops.

Wu Sanniang is a chivalrous woman, and she knows everything about this old rich man's methods of hiding money, even if she can't find it, isn't there still a lot of captives to interrogate.

In one day, Li Qingyuan successively broke through more than 10 mansions, especially the granaries in the city, and did not let go of any of them, and the grain found from these warehouses was enough for 10,000 people to eat for a month.

More than 100,000 taels of money and property were also looted, and after the families of the high-ranking families were cleaned up, the remaining small fish and shrimp would not be bothered, Li Qingyuan ordered people to interrogate him overnight, and prepared for tomorrow's public trial meeting.

Of course, Li Qingyuan also prepared a bold plan, which could be implemented after the public trial meeting, so that he didn't have to worry about the interrogation, and he could have a good night's sleep tonight.

The next morning, Li Qingyuan ordered the rebels to call out all the civilians in the city from house to house and drive them to a larger open space.

Li Qingyuan wanted to tell them well, but it is estimated that people will not listen to it, and they dare not go if they hear it, so Li Qingyuan simply came directly to the most violent.

First of all, Li Qingyuan coughed when he came to the stage, and the people in the audience were all silent, Li Qingyuan looked at the people in the audience and said: "Folks, the Manchu Tatars say that we are a cult and that we are bandits, but what I want to tell you is that we are just a group of ordinary people who want to survive!" ”

The people in the audience were discussing, and Li Qingyuan continued: "You can see, like you, we used to be good citizens of the Qing Dynasty, and we barely survived under the drive of the government and landlords.

However, we have been reluctant to steal peace, in exchange for the intensified looting by the government, we have to pay the imperial grain and apportionment, we have to pay the apportionment, we have to pay the centi, we have to pay the centi, and we have to pay the fire, as well as the public apportionment, as well as the forced labor, and the special fee for the southern tour....... ”

Li Qingyuan has said more than 20 kinds of taxes and fees, and he feels exhausted to recite them himself, not to mention that these people have to pay the same amount.

And the people here are not far from Shouzhang, so the taxes collected are almost the same, it should be said that the taxes of the whole Qing Dynasty are about the same, so the people here also feel the same when they hear this, and they all nod their heads.

Li Qingyuan said: "We have endured these, who made us the servants of the Qing Dynasty and the people of the government!" We just hope that the government and the old men will collect this money, so that the rope around our necks can be loosened and let us take a breath.

However, we live like a dog, wagging our tail at them like a dog that has broken our backbone, hoping that they will let us go, as long as we have something to eat, as long as we can live, we will be grateful. ”

Li Qingyuan doesn't have any talent for speech, and he can't write any passionate manuscripts, but the reality is that in the ranks of the rebels, his cultural level is the highest! After all, gone are the days when there were as many college students as dogs.

The people listened to Li Qingyuan's words and thought of their lives, how could it be the same as the one on the stage, in such a society, it is not easy to be a good dog.

Li Qingyuan clenched his fists and said: "However, the government and the lords did not let us go because of our wagging tail and begging for mercy, they were thinking about intensifying the looting when we were affected by the disaster and couldn't eat.

Folks! We can't survive! We are just seeking a way to live, to seek a way to live for the people of the world, and look at such old men who are bullying us and sucking our flesh and blood!

Folks! It's these people who can't wait to squeeze our last tears, and the money we get from selling our sons and daughters will be given to them to enjoy, but! The sons and daughters we sell will still be used as cattle and horses for them!

Folks! When you are in tears and drinking wild vegetable porridge at home, your son who sold is also bleeding under the whip of these old men, drinking the same wild vegetable porridge, and when he dies, he will be thrown away!

Folks! When you are at home and crying as you watch your daughter's clothes, your daughter's clothes may be torn apart by these beasts and weep in a pool of blood! ”

The onlookers were touched by Li Qingyuan's words, and those who had such an experience of selling their children and daughters began to grit their teeth and wipe their tears.

Li Qingyuan took out the trial list and said, "Folks! You may think I'm being alarmist and think that these guys aren't so bad, but today I'm going to show you what bad things these guys have done! ”

Li Qingyuan took the list and read: "This Liang Shirong is the largest family in Linxi, and he is a well-known good man for repairing bridges and roads, but he is such a good man who has personally or instructed his subordinates to kill 14 long-term workers, child laborers and maids.

Some of these people were bought by him, and some were the children of the nearby people who paid off their debts, among which Tian Er, who knew the origin, was Tian Er of the Dongli Murata Honest Family, and Wang Wuya ...... of the Wang Shishi family. ”

Li Qingyuan finished reading the buzz in the audience, these people were neighbors, and a few of them were at the scene, and they immediately cried after hearing it.

Li Qingyuan continued: "Their crimes are far more than these, Liang Shirong's eldest son Liang Junkuan likes ** young girls, and there are twenty-one people who have been insulted to death by him, some of these people are neighbors, some are bought from other places, and there are ...... who know their names. ”

Li Qingyuan collapsed after reading an old lady and shouted: ", my poor Cuilian! ”
