Chapter 310: Intended
This time, the victims went south to eat, unlike those great migrations in history, but the court persecuted the people, but the people took the initiative to go south, so they did not break up all the people like the migrating people, but according to the wishes of the people, they organized themselves, so that the people of a village or a town could act in unison. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info is like the 5,000 victims outside Jianzhou City, most of them are the people of Longyao County, Hebei Province.
The land of criminal state, since ancient times, is the Central Plains and the northern barbarian war place, which also led to the fierce people here, each other is unusually united, when arguing with outsiders, often a hundred responses, even if the head is broken blood, but also strong over the other party, along the way, it is by virtue of this unity, they can struggle with each other to come to this state.
As the old saying goes, a snake can't go without a head, and a person can't go without a head, along the way, these victims also elected a leader, who is the strong man who is surrounded by many men.
This person is not tall, but the muscles on his body are unusually strong, and the most attractive thing is that his tattered clothes are exposed, covered with dense wounds, and even his face is pierced diagonally by a hideous scar, which adds to his majesty.
This person is called Ma Cao, a very simple and simple name, he is also like this name, he has experienced hardships since he was a child, but he did not hit him, but honed an unusually hard will and a very practical fighting experience, and then at the age of sixteen, he joined the army, and fought for ten years in the frontier land.
Although the position is not high, but the Tang Army's reward for military exploits is still good, ten years of accumulated merits, so that after returning to his hometown, he became a small landlord, the fertile land is leaning forward, the family wealth is rich, if nothing else, after a few generations, the Ma family can gradually become a small family, but unfortunately, this year's flood, so that all this came to naught.
If it was another landlord, in the year of the disaster, it was the time to expand the strength of his family, because they were able to obtain the land from those victims at a low price, but hemp grass was different, after the disaster, he not only did not buy the people's fields at a low price, but distributed all the grain he stored to the victims, and then, in order to help more victims, he even did not hesitate to sell his own land, and finally fell from a landlord with a lot of money to the same fate as many victims, but even so, He did not have the slightest remorse, but did his best to help the victims when he went all the way south, and in doing so, he also won the respect and trust of many victims.
Hearing everyone's inquiry, Ma Cao raised his hand and picked up the dead branch beside him, threw it at the fire that was already burning strongly, piled the fire higher, and then looked up at the surroundings before saying, "Yes, we have to find a way, in this way, thousands of villagers have no other way but to die, tell me, what good advice do you have." ”
"Da Lang, it is the order of the imperial court to eat when we go south, and now this Jianzhou does not accept us, but it is against the order of the imperial court, why don't we go to the government to report them and let the imperial court punish them, I don't believe that they dare to go against the imperial court." Said a man who looked like he had read a book.
It's a pity that as soon as his words landed, another man immediately retorted, "Hmph, it's really pedantic, since even you know this kind of thing, how can those officials and gentlemen in the city not know, but now they are still closed, they will still be afraid of the court, it's just whimsical, according to me, we might as well go to other places, such as those larger cities, at least have a bite to eat first, and think of other ways." ”
"It's okay to go to other places, but now the entire land south of the Yangtze River is full of disaster victims, how can those local governments accept us, if other places are the same as this place where the state was founded, I'm afraid that our thousands of villagers will never be saved." Another shrewd-looking man said.
"Hey..... Ah....., you people Rory talked for a long time, this doesn't work, that doesn't work, you talk about what we should do, can we only starve to death here like this, he is milk, it's really not a big deal Grandpa robbed this Jianzhou City, went up the mountain to be a bandit, even if his head was cut off, it was better than being uncomfortable here. A man with a somewhat short temper, hearing this, couldn't help but stand up and roar angrily.
As soon as he said this, there was silence all around, and even the person who had been whispering to himself just now stopped talking, and his eyes rolled back and forth, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Leopard, you..... How dare you have such an idea, this rebellion is going to kill the head, no, never, this thing will never work. Half a day later, a man said with some trembling.
"Okay, you've been talking nonsense for a long time, let's listen to what Da Lang says, Da Lang, tell me what you think, you are the one among us who has seen the world, besides, everyone trusts you, as long as it is your decision, we all agree." A slightly older man stepped forward and said.
For a while, everyone's eyes were fixed on Ma Cao's body again.
"It is definitely not possible to report to the imperial court, just like Gu Sanlang said, since this Jianzhou City dares to turn us away openly, then they are definitely not afraid of the punishment of the imperial court, even if we sue them to the imperial court, the imperial court will punish them in the end, this is not good for us, you know, we will eat when we go south, and we will stay here in the future, and it will not be easy for people to deal with us in the future?"
Hearing Ma Cao's words, everyone nodded in agreement, and they still understood the reason that the county officials were not as good as the current management.
Seeing everyone's reaction, Ma Cao continued, "As for leaving here to other places, it is even more impossible, not to mention whether people will accept us, even if some places are willing to accept us, but you see, now many villagers still have a few who can go through a long journey, I'm afraid they can't go anywhere else, more than half of the villagers here are going to fall, when the time comes, even if we can survive, but the villagers are dead, what is the point of our life." ”
Hearing this, everyone was even more moved, their faces were full of sadness, after all, among the victims here, the most are their parents and wives, think about if these people fall halfway, leaving only themselves, what is the difference between it and death.
"That'...... That...... Da Lang, don't we have a way to live, is this God so short-sighted? Someone couldn't help but ask sadly.
Hearing this, the people present were gloomy, after all, there was no hope, and it was difficult for even a strong person to maintain stability.
"That's not necessarily, a certain never believes in the destiny of heaven, a certain only believes in himself, a certain believes, as long as he does not give up, he will never fall, which is why he was seriously injured many times on the battlefield that year, but he still survived in the end." Ma Cao said solemnly.
As soon as Ma Cao's words came out, everyone who was originally silent showed surprise, "Da Lang...... You..... If you can't do it, quick, tell me what the hell is the solution, say it and let us hear it. Someone urged.
"In fact, the solution was not thought up by somebody, but said by Ge Da." Ma Cao said.
"Hmm.... Ge Da said, ah..... Dalang, you ..... You want to rebel and can't do it, this ...... This is the crime of killing the head of the nine clans, isn't it ..... No way..... Absolutely not. ”
Hearing Ma Cao's words, the people who were originally surprised instantly became frightened, and many of them even trembled with fright, like sifting chaff.
"Hmph, why not, the so-called officials forced the people to rebel, we fell to this point, whose fault is it, all of this is caused by those traitors in power in the court, faint officials, besides, the so-called Zhulian Nine Clans, up to now, raising the head is a knife, bowing the head is also a knife, even if we don't rebel, sooner or later we can't avoid the fate of all starvation, in this case, it is better to fight to the death, how did the Tang Li family get the world, it is not the time of the former Sui, if the world is in chaos, How can we not become another Tang Li family, and in the future, maybe we will be able to win a future for our children and grandchildren, which is better than their hard work every day buried in the loess, facing the loess with their backs to the sky, but they can't even eat a full meal. ”
Seeing the frightened look of everyone, Ma Cao couldn't help but stand up and roared loudly, at this moment, his not tall body, in the eyes of everyone, it was like a towering Mount Tai, which made people feel heavy and dependent, many people at this moment, the fear in their hearts disappeared, replaced by the beautiful future in Ma Cao's mouth.
"Yes.... Right..... Da Lang said so right, it should have been like this a long time ago, when we were in our hometown, those corrupt officials and landlords bullied us all day long, we worked hard for a year, we couldn't eat enough, not to say, but also to borrow from them to live, a certain early want to do them, now is the right time, we robbed this Jianzhou City, kill all those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and enjoy it. "Ge Da, the strong man who was the first to say the rebellion just now, jumped out to support Ma Caodao as soon as possible.
"Yes, if you rebel, you will rebel, the officials will force the people to rebel, we have to rebel, if the court is really a good court, how can we fall into this field, so far, it is death, if you don't fight, it is death, since it is all death, it is better to fight some, there must be a glimmer of hope."
People are conformists, and with the first, the second, and the third came into being.
After a while, except for a few cowardly people, everyone else expressed their support for Ma Cao's decision, and for a while, in the silent clearing, there was an eager discussion.
.....................................
"Ah......" Mu Duo, who had just gotten up, yawned loudly.
Mu Duo is an ordinary soldier in Jianzhou City, he is not a Han Chinese, but a local barbarian in Jianzhou, of course, just like Liu Tingshi, in the southeast of this place with many ethnic minorities, the Han people do not have much power, and they are the local barbarians are the local mainstream.
Relying on his relationship with the Assassin Mansion, Mu Duo obtained a position as a captain in the government soldiers, don't look at this position is not high, but it is a fat shortage, just the daily money to enter the city is enough for him to live a carefree life, and in addition, it can smuggle some private goods to some big businessmen, which is a lot of income.
It's a pity that Mu Duo, who used to laugh every day, has a sad face these days, and even loses his temper from time to time, the reason why this is so is because the financial route has been cut off in the past few days, because the gate of the entire Jianzhou City is tightly closed these days, and if the city gate is not opened, he will have no income, how can he be happy.
Feeling the cold morning breeze outside the house, Mu Duo rose to the idea of going back to sleep, after all, the city gate has not been opened for the past few days, and he has nothing to do, so he can only play dice gambling with those people under him.
Just as Mu Duo was about to turn around, a rush of footsteps came, and he saw one of his henchmen rushing in a hurry, shouting from a distance, "Captain, captain, go, they're gone." ”
Because of lack of sleep, Mu Duo's head was still a little dizzy, and he had no income in the past few days, and when he heard the inexplicable words of this henchman, he scolded a little impatiently, "Bastard thing, what good news, what is gone, you can't even speak clearly, what else can you do when you come out to eat." ”
If it was in the past, as soon as Mu Duo lost his temper, this henchman would definitely do everything possible to please him, but what is strange today is that when he heard his angry scolding, that henchman not only did not restrain himself in the slightest, but smiled even brighter and said, "Captain, good news, great news, those damn ones are gone, they are gone, we can open the city gate again." ”
Hearing the words of this henchman, Mu Duo's originally somewhat confused brain suddenly seemed to have invaded ice water, and he felt cold, and he couldn't care about being angry, and asked eagerly, "Really, those damn things are really gone, are you sure." ”
"Sure, sure, the brothers got up early in the morning and found that those damn things had left, and we also sent Xiao Liuzi to crawl out of the city to investigate, and there was no one within five miles, they were gone, they were really gone." The henchman nodded in reply.
After making sure that this henchman was not deceiving himself, Mu Duo couldn't help but let out a heavy breath, looked up to the sky and laughed, "Hahahaha, good, good, great, they are gone, our good days are coming again, hurry, hurry, hurry up and report to the battalion commander with me, open the city gate one day earlier, and we can also earn a little more." ”
After finishing speaking, Mu Duo hurriedly walked towards the city with his henchmen.
