Chapter 84: The Fall of the Lin Family
The food-for-population operation in Champa Port is continuing, and under the cover of the army, the people are transporting grain to the empty field outside the city, and Bogdan looks at it with great excitement, as his army may not be able to capture so much grain when it comes out to plunder in previous years. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Info Contrary to his excitement were the soldiers of the new army on the wall of Champa Port, they couldn't help but be indignant one by one, they didn't know why they wanted to give this food to the southern barbarians who invaded them in exchange for the population, in their opinion, the captured people were some burdens, and if they ran into them in battle, they would sometimes kill them as enemies and take the blame.
However, what is also unhappy is Lin Zhennan's internal response to this group of Nanban, if Nanban captures the port of Zhancheng, they will definitely not have a good life, and the Nanban who burns and loots will definitely turn the whole city into a dead city, even if he is not killed by Nanban, there is nothing good about staying in this dead city. However, the problem now is that Nanban did not capture the port of Zhancheng, and he hurriedly ran to help Nanban attack the city gate as an internal response, so his death period is numbered. At this time, Lin Zhennan was hit by the Chinese's continuous hair, and his legs had begun to swell with symptoms of inflammation, and the sharp pain from his legs made beads of sweat on his pale face flow down.
He was full of regret in his heart, if he didn't listen to that spy and go out, how could he be in such a situation?
Run, right? Now all the exits of his house are guarded by officials and soldiers, and the officials and soldiers outside are eyeing no one in or out, and even the family members who have just been sent out by their families to ask for a doctor have been driven back, and they have been driven back by hundreds of households when they hear that the housekeeper went to deliver silver. These hundreds of households eat their own less on weekdays? Who doesn't nod their heads when they see themselves? Now they are all arrogant and nostrils are facing the sky, when have you ever been so angry? It is a matter of time before the government cleans itself up, and now the entire Lin family is like a fat pig waiting to be slaughtered, and the princess of his family's decades of operation will be cheaper.
Hold on, right? Just kidding, there are all officials and soldiers outside, and they don't dare to touch themselves when they are law-abiding businessmen, but now they have become traitors, and they are not rushing in one by one to slash and kill? The main force of the family has been almost killed by the officials and soldiers when they are in turmoil, and only six people have escaped back, three of them are wounded, and the remaining people in the entire mansion who can fight are afraid that there are only a hundred, and they will definitely not be able to stop it, and when the officials and soldiers come in, they can kill all the old and young of the family and confiscate the property of the Lin family. It's okay to do it yourself, but what about the peaceful child? He's only a teenager, I wonder if there's a way to dress him up as a servant and get out in the chaos?
What about yourself? A sharp pain came from his leg again, making his heart twitch for a while, and even tears came out. He couldn't help but look out of the hall, there was a person lying on his stomach in the patio outside the hall, it was the Nanban spy, who had been beaten to the point of bleeding at this time, and he didn't know whether he was dead or alive lying there. Under the swift firepower just now, this spy was able to retreat with his whole body, and he didn't even tear his clothes a little, and he shouted that there were other internal responses in the city, trying to persuade Lin Zhennan to gather the family in the mansion again to make a last stand. However, before he could finish speaking, he heard a cheer in the city, saying that the Nanban had been repulsed. The onlookers who were watching on the sidelines either killed their friends or relatives in this riot, and they couldn't help but be angry and rushed up with their fists to knock out the brains of this spy dog. Lin Zhennan looked at the spy, and couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness in his heart, and his fate was probably no better than him.
At this time, a family member rushed in and reported to him: "Master...... Master...... Officers and Soldiers...... The officers and soldiers have come in! At this moment, the front and back yards quickly became noisy, followed by screams and shouts of killing. His face, which had been sallow from pain, immediately turned pale, and he struggled to remember, but he didn't care about him, just rushed to his desk and rummaged through it twice, and he didn't know if he found something that seemed to be valuable, so he stuffed it into the blanket around his waist, and then ran out. Lin Zhennan struggled and pounced, grabbed his leg and shouted, "You dog slave, you dare to steal the things of the master's house!" ”
Jiading tried to break his fingers in a panic, but Lin Zhennan was extremely angry at this time, how could he let go, and the blanket around Jiading's waist was also torn open during the fight, and the copper coins and silver inside crackled and fell to the ground. The family was so angry that while scolding, he raised his foot and kicked Lin Zhennan in the face, and when this foot hit his face, Lin Zhennan felt that it was dark in front of him, and countless stars were flying in front of him. After a while, the feeling of pain came out, and then it was painful, he relieved himself and touched his face with his hand, feeling that it was all wet, even if his vision did not recover at this time, he knew that it must be blood, and he couldn't help but scold: "You dog kills, you dare to hit the master!" ”
Where can the family take care of this old man, he picked up copper coins and silver on the ground in a panic, and felt that the things on his waist were caught for a while, so he took it out directly and took a look, it turned out to be the inkstone he took on Master Lin's desk just now, and he slapped this inkstone directly on Lin Zhennan's face.
The inkstone shattered in response to the sound, and Lin Zhennan was directly knocked unconscious. The family was overjoyed, although this inkstone could probably buy a few taels of silver, but now no one hinders him from picking up money.
However, he had only picked up a few pieces of broken silver, and when he heard a "whoosh", a feather arrow went directly into his back, and the family looked down in disbelief at the arrow that came out of his chest, and slowly fell to the ground.
Then several officers and soldiers rushed in, and when they saw the copper coins and broken silver falling from the ground, they didn't have time to cheer, so they threw away the weapons in their hands and rushed forward to pick them up desperately. It can be said that people die for money, birds die for food, this is a group of family members rushed in again, saw several unarmed officers and soldiers bowing their heads on the ground to pick up money, and hurriedly rushed forward to cut down the officials and soldiers.
…………………………
When Lin Zhennan woke up, it was already afternoon, the sun was about to set, and he was lying at the gate of the Lin Mansion, crushed in the middle of a large pile of corpses. He felt a parchment in his mouth, he wanted to drink water, and he felt hungry, but how could there be such things in the midst of a group of dead people? He hurriedly looked up, but saw a familiar figure, wasn't that the commercial representative of Dongfang Port? He hurriedly shouted the name of the business representative, "Mr. Qian, Mr. Qian......"
Qian Longzhou was stunned for a moment, turned around and saw that there was a head in the pile of corpses calling him, and he couldn't help but take two steps back in fright, but he didn't believe in ghosts, so he walked a few more steps up, and after a closer look, this guy with a big foot plate and blood on his face was a little familiar, and it was not a zombie, it must not be dead. Just as he was about to call the officers and soldiers to pull him out, he saw this blood-stained guy crawling out of the pile of corpses, and begged him for help while crawling, "Mr. Qian, I'm Lin Zhennan, help me!" ”
Qian Longzhou's mind immediately appeared with the image of the Lin shopkeeper who refused to shake hands with Gu Qingqian, and then recalled the rich man who was domineering in the teahouse and wanted to monopolize the cool oil trade. Looking down at the person in front of him, the blood on this person's face had coagulated, his face was distorted, several teeth had fallen out, a large piece of his lips had been broken, and it seemed that another tooth had penetrated out, and his head was like a ghost. He struggled to crawl towards him as he called for help, looking like a zombie with a broken leg, covered in blood and dust, and looking as embarrassed as he could.
Qian Longzhou, who came to supervise the work of raiding the house, smiled bitterly at this time, the person in front of him was one of the thirteen large families who were to be executed, and now he actually failed to die at the beginning, and it seemed that he would be tried before being sent to the execution ground. But at this time, seeing this person crawling while begging for help, he felt a trace of unbearability in his heart, and couldn't help but look around left and right. On the right side of the gate, a large group of officers and soldiers with weapons are sorting and lining up the people who have been caught out of the Lin family's mansion, and all the family members with gunshot wounds have been directly executed, and some officials and soldiers are searching the bodies of these arrested Lin family members. As for the men, they were directly escorted out, tied up and led and sent to prison. I heard that there are no people in this prison at all, and the cage that usually holds three or five people is at least thirty people at this time, and the people inside can only sit in turns, let alone lie down, and even sit down. According to Annam's law, the whole family of the rebel was to be used as official slaves and maids, and the men were sent to remote areas to clear the wasteland, and the women were sent to work as official prostitutes. For these official slaves and maids, unless they flee or are ransomed, they cannot turn over for the rest of their lives, and even the children they give birth to are also official slaves and maids, and they are untouchables from birth.
But he didn't need to worry too much about this matter, an Annan official next to him turned his head and saw Lin Zhennan crawling over, didn't speak, pulled out the long knife on his waist and walked over, and stabbed Lin Zhennan to death directly when the knife fell. Not far away, the signboard of the Lin family's industrial Zhucheng Ji was being taken down by several officers and soldiers and thrown aside in the roaring fire, which turned into a huge torch in a crackling sound.
Although the Nanban suffered a lot of losses, because they gave up the siege and handed over all the captured people, they got 3,000 stone of grain, and used a part of the plundered silver taels to buy some carts to transport these grains. Although the port of Zhancheng lost the port facilities, but it successfully blocked the siege of the barbarians, and almost suffered any losses, although the grain of 3,000 stone was given, but the inner family of these raided homes in the city should be the noble clan, and the gold and silver treasures in the family were piled up, and the hoarded grain not only met the shortage of 3,000 stones, but even made up for the difference in the grain requisitioned from the grain store and other places, and the captured officials and slaves could be invested in the construction of the city; Among them, the biggest harvest is naturally the Chinese, who not only played the invincible prestige of the squadron, but also obtained an astonishing number of people by the way, in addition to a large amount of borrowing fees, this money will be invested in the local market of Champong Port to buy industrial raw materials and grain, and the restoration and construction of Champong Port in the future must rely on the strength of the Chinese. All in all, the battle for the defense of Champa Port can be regarded as a win-win-win situation.
