Chapter 61: Quelling the Rebellion in Yazhou (5)

Dahan proposed that Chen Youfu join forces to attack the Fan family's compound, and Chen Youfu immediately agreed. Chen Youfu asked Dahan, "How are you going to pour it in?" ”

The big man scratched his scalp and was embarrassed: "I haven't thought about it yet...... I want to climb the wall......"

Chen Youfu immediately rejected this bad idea. He said, "Don't climb the wall, the people inside will wait with spears, and they will die if they show their heads." I have an idea, big brother, to hear it. You see, the stone at the base of the wall was only two feet high, and the upper half was made of fire bricks. Let's find a big log, and everyone will hit the wall together, and it will be done! ”

"Where can I find a big log in this city?" Dahan is still scratching his scalp.

Chen Youfu pointed to the houses on both sides of the street and said, "Don't you need pillars to repair houses? Just tear down the pillars on the porch! ”

"What if the house falls down and hits someone?" As he spoke, the big man sniffed his nails over his scalp.

"You've all brought rope, haven't you?"

Dahan felt the oiliness of his scalp through the tip of his nose and felt more satisfied, so he looked up and replied, "That's!" When you come out to pick up something, how can you not bring a rope and baggage? ”。

"Tie the rope under the pillar, a little above the cornerstone. Let's stay away and pull down together! ”

"It's as simple as that?"

"It's that simple!"

The big man laughed, beckoned his subordinates to pull the pillar, and said to Chen Youfu: "Where did the tall brother learn this trick?" ”

Chen Youfu said: "Our local tyrants in northern Sichuan rob big households, and they all hug big tree trunks and hit the wall. We were poor there, and the big families only had earthen walls, and they fell down in two or three strokes. ”

Dahan was still laughing. He patted Chen Youfu's shoulder with his hand and said, "I think you are a local tyrant!" No, you're better than a thug! ”

Chen Youfu also smiled, but his smile was a little stiff. As the two were talking, they heard a loud "bang", and half of the houses on the side of the street collapsed, and a group of people dragged a wooden pillar with a disgraced face, and pulled it out. The loud noise also attracted a lot of rioters who watched the excitement, and when the wood was dragged out, the big guys made a loud noise. Amid the noise of the agitation, the lost morale of the rebels was quickly restored.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Chen Youfu told Dahan that he was going to gather more brothers. After he left, a minion next to the big man reminded the eldest brother, would the tall brother take the opportunity to slip away?

Dahan thought seriously for a moment and said, "Probably not." He calls me big brother! ”

Hitting a wall with a piece of wood requires a running distance that cannot be used in a narrow alley. The big man chose the site of the impact on the brick wall next to the gate. Seeing the hope of making a fortune again, the mob's extinguishing lust rose again, and they crowded to the wood to try their skills. As Chen Youfu predicted, although the wall of fire bricks hooked by the steamed and crushed glutinous rice juice was solid, the cracks quickly collapsed under the violent impact of the big wood.

Kill! Grab it! Pick up something! The high-pitched howl was deafening. The mob threw down the wood and scrambled to wave their weapons into the gap, where they were intercepted by the desperate Fan family and the family, and the two sides engaged in a desperate struggle.

"What are we going to do, leader, we're just waiting?" In the dark, Lao Tan couldn't hold back a little and asked Chen Youfu anxiously.

"Just wait here! We'll go in when they're all dead!" Send someone to contact Mr. Gao and report to him what we think, and he will decide whether to send troops over for reinforcements. ”

"Won't we give half the credit then?" Listening to the tone, Lao Tan was a little unhappy.

"What credit is we? The prince wants us to take down the Fan family compound, and if we take it, we will have merit, and if we don't take it, there will be nothing! We are not afraid of snatching things, we have an ambush outside the city, and none of the rioters can escape. "During the day, on the shore of the Yahe River, Chen Youfu had a deep impression that Zhu Ping Jinhao didn't care about the head. He thought for a while and explained to Lao Tan: "The prince is benevolent, he doesn't care about the head, he cares about our casualties, it's called that ......"

"Zero casualties." Lao Tan quickly added.

The Fan family's compound is not far from the state government, so the fierce battles here attract everyone's attention. In the garden of the mansion of the state government, the officers and family members of the Imperial Thousand Household Office were discussing the outcome of the battle in a relaxed manner. The Tusi army has arrived, and Zhizhou and Lord Qianhu have come to deploy tomorrow's counteroffensive, which means that the battle situation has been decided. The result of an individual battle was nothing more than an episode in the middle, so no one was worried about the fierce battle under the hill. In their subconscious, maybe it's in their interest to fight worse in the city.

According to the Ming Dynasty's guard system, in the important local passes and cities, the independent establishment of the guard of thousands of households, directly under the capital or the capital division. The establishment of the guard thousand households is similar to that of the ordinary guard house, all of which are 500 households, one member of the 1,000 households, 5 members of the 100 households, a number of deputy positions, and a town magistrate. Theoretically, there were 1,112 soldiers, but in reality 3,400 soldiers were first-class troops, and the rest of the military households naturally became slaves or tenants of officers at all levels. The family members are generally raised by the officers themselves at a high price, and their combat effectiveness is a grade higher than that of the soldiers. There were frequent wars in Liaodong, and in order to defend the border, the imperial court also paid money to raise a group of family members. These families were not owned by individual officers, but were regular troops of the imperial court. They have a proper noun called "in the camp".

The garden of the state government house is not big, the flower hall is even smaller, and only one table can be placed, and the remaining four tables have to be placed in the garden outside the flower hall. At this time, there was no moon in the night, and the cold wind in the air blew the lanterns hanging in the flower hall to sway. The five large tables were already full of officers' families, and the gusts of cold wind did not affect their mood in the slightest, and there was laughter and laughter everywhere.

Surrounded by the housekeeper's servants, the ministers of the Yazhou Zhizhou Kingdom appeared at the door of the ear room. Li and Chen, the two deputy thousand households, hurriedly stepped forward to greet them, and everyone also knelt down from their seats to say goodbye. Without seeing Ruan Shiqi, Deputy Li Qianhu asked Wang Guochen about the whereabouts of Lord Qianhu.

Wang Guochen laughed, wittily shook his sleeve robe and said: "That foodie somehow, before the banquet started, he said that he had a stomachache and wanted to go to the thatched house!" There's a distinguished guest here, and we won't wait for him. After speaking, He Youyi was introduced to everyone, and everyone hurriedly got closer.

Everyone sat down, and the kingdom minister was not humble, stood up and said: "There are tens of thousands of thieves, and I am in Yazhou." The city gate is open, but the soldiers are bloodied in the city walls, and they will not retreat! Stick to the southeast corner of the city, waiting for the opportunity to win! Now the prince of the prince has come to the aid in a big way, and the defeat has turned into victory in a thousand moments! It's really a miracle of a thousand years! There is a jar of Daqu wine in my office. This wine is no better than ordinary local wine! At that time, the official took office in Yazhou, passed by the provincial capital, and worshiped the feudal monarch from afar. The prince remembered that his official county guarded the border, so he rewarded this altar of good wine! Today, the prince led the troops to rescue Yazhou, didn't he respond to the story of the year? The soldiers defending the city worked hard and made great achievements, and they wrote a good story with the palace rescuers! Today, the official will allow you to drink bitterly, and tomorrow morning you will attack together. Under the internal and external attacks, the thieves do not hesitate to powder! Come on, come on, hurry up and get drunk! ”

Lord Wang's opening speech was not long, but the tone was very high. In just a few words, the merits of the soldiers present were determined. The soldiers thought of being promoted to the rank of knight and making a fortune, and they were already enthusiastic. The people had already divided the wine in the big altar into large bowls and served them, and only the flower pavilion where Wang Guochen and He Youyi were located was served, and each person had a small wine jug. Wang Guochen picked up the overflowing wine glass and said: "Please all the soldiers drink this cup, and wish you a great victory tomorrow!" After speaking, he did it first as a respect, and lit the bottom of the cup outwards according to the old rules. Everyone was overjoyed, promised in unison, and hurriedly did it. Wang Guochen said loudly: "Everyone drink openly tonight!" But there is one rule, you are not allowed to learn from your thousands of households, you will have a bad stomach! ”

Before Wang Guochen's words fell, someone on the table had already collapsed holding his stomach and pinching his throat. In the blink of an eye, a large area fell around. There are very few people still sitting on the table.

Wang Guochen's face changed abruptly. He threw down his glass and said to the butler, "Are the three lanterns hanging on the pole?" ”

The housekeeper replied, and Wang Guochen said to Deputy Qianhu Chen, who looked sad: "This official and literati are not good at using weapons, so I have to ask Lord Chen to mend the knife!" ”

How dare Deputy Chen Qianhu disobey at this time. He hurriedly laughed and said, "How dare you invite adults, and the end will serve yourself!" ”

He Youyi also smiled: "Wait a while, please also ask the lord to raise his sword and show his face in front of everyone!" ”

Wang Guochen bowed deeply to He Youyi and said, "This official respectfully obeys the order of the prince!" The net worth, life and future of this official and Lord Chen are all staked on the prince! ”

The shouting and killing in the Fan family's compound gradually subsided, and there was no one outside the courtyard gate. Chen Youfu felt that the time had come, so he led people to light torches and walked out of the hidden house. The person who contacted Gao Antai had not yet returned, Chen Youfu called Lao Tan and asked him to guard outside the house, and when he saw Mr. Gao, he told him that he had gone in first.

At the breach in the wall, corpses were piled up into mounds, and more than 60 people had to step on the dead to walk inside. Occasionally, someone was not dead, and after being stepped on, he let out a miserable scream, and was immediately sent to the west by the team members. In accordance with Zhu Pingjin's request, Chen Youfu has already issued an order not to leave a living.

At the second gate, as usual, there was another pile of dead bodies. Chen Youfu entered the second gate and did not see any living people, so he ordered a separate search. The two squads of the first company went to the left, the two squads of the second company went to the right, and his own platoon took Fan Zhen to the middle, and went straight to Fan Wenguang's dormitory.

After 300 years of construction and more than 10 generations, the house of the Fan family has accumulated into a small city. There is a street in the house, and there is a courtyard on the side of the street; There is a courtyard in the courtyard, and the garden is built in the courtyard; Courtyards are connected to each other, and houses are connected to each other. Rows of hanging peaks and hard peaks cover the sky. There are passages everywhere and high walls on all sides.

Chen Youfu and the others were still grass labels to be sold in the market a month ago, where have they seen such a luxurious and huge house? This group of mountain boars and dogs are like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, and their eyes hurt and their heads are dizzy. If someone hadn't led the way, it is estimated that they would not have been able to get out for three days.

A faint cry of a woman could be heard in a courtyard. Lao Wen asked Chen Youfu's opinion with his eyes. Seeing Chen Youfu nodding, he hurriedly ordered his head to follow. The group followed the sound, and as soon as they arrived at the gate of the courtyard, they saw a female corpse lying on the lion-headed stone pillar at the door. A young pink face had wide eyes, and the blood under his body had soaked the stone.

Lao Wen kicked open the hidden courtyard door. In the front yard, there were several female corpses lying sideways. A woman's skirt was lifted, her pants were ripped to her ankles, and there was a bloody hole in her back, which was still bubbling with blood.

Seeing his subordinates in a daze, Chen Youfu shouted: "What do you see? Still not searching carefully? ”

There were also female corpses in the wings on both sides of the front yard. In the passage leading to the back house next to the gable of the main house, two naked bodies were found dead together. The male corpse was facing the sky on his back, with a pair of scissors stuck in his stomach, leaving only the handle outside. He grabbed the neck of the female corpse with one hand, and his lower body was naked, and the gray-white life roots were softly crooked to the side. The female corpse was lying on her side on the ground, her eyes bulging outward, the tip of her tongue sticking out, and her face was purple and red. The pants were also peeled off, and the two snow-white jade legs were stiffly exposed in the cold wind.

The soldiers passing by all had misty eyes, flushed faces, and had difficulty in their steps. Chen Youfu's face turned red with anger, he remembered the picture of his daughter-in-law being pressed down and raped by a local thug, and remembered that his daughter-in-law's big belly was broken alive, and a bloody child was poked on the head of a gun and roasted...... At this point, his face was covered with tears. He turned his head sharply and shouted at the soldiers, "You only know how to look at women! You have forgotten your hatred! You've forgotten what we're here for! If this woman is your mother, your sister, and your daughter-in-law, are you embarrassed to look at it again?! ”

Since Lao Wen knew the platoon commander, he had never seen him get so angry. He hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him, and told the soldiers to leave quickly. Fan Zhen roared hatefully on the side: "The men and women of the Fan family are not good things, they all deserve to be fucking!" In this house is the second lady of the five-room family, who is the most arrogant and arrogant on weekdays, and never looks at me squarely! Hmph, I didn't think she would have today! Lao Tzu will ...... when he goes back."

When I entered the back house, the door was closed, and there was a commotion inside, as well as the cries and screams of women. Chen Youfu stood at the door, a vigilant gesture, and the soldiers spread out on either side of him, ready to fight. Lao Wen walked over and broke the door open with his hand. The door creaked open unobediently as the wind blew it, and the sight inside once again opened the eyes of the caravan recruits.

A man held the round table and pressed down a desperately struggling woman. His white ass was facing outward, and his slick body was shaking desperately, making a snapping sound.
