Chapter 197: A Lonely Hero

There is no regret in the world about taking medicine, if he knew that the situation would develop to such a point, Tang Xiao would not let Ding Zhubo go to the White Crane Temple no matter what, but personally transferred troops to uproot the temple. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

The extremely unjust death of Lord Ding Bo was also extremely tragic, and the bodies of the two Liufang Clerks who went to the temple with him were also found on the other side of the riverbank. When I found it, it was already soaked in the river.

The parishioners of Baihe Temple, under the leadership of Ma Dalong, finally thought of Jiading City after bloodbathing several towns such as Hengli and Dazhapu. It's just that by the time Ma Dalong led the red-eyed parishioners to Jiading, the county had already taken precautions.

There was no garrison in Jiading County, but when Tang Xiaoxian returned from Songjiang Fucheng, he specially asked for a team of soldiers to escort him, about 100 people. These more than 100 soldiers stayed in Jiading for one month according to the requirements of the government, and returned to their original stations after the deadline. After the rebellion, the 100 Taiping army became the main force in the defense of the city in Jiading. There is also a security brigade in the county, but it is newly formed, and the training has been less than a month, and the combat effectiveness is not strong. With the assistance of Baien, Tang Xiao first mobilized the people of the city, and the messengers of the Yamen and the people of the six rooms went to the city to defend.

Tang Xiaoxian and Yu Baien held the heart of death and stuck to the county seat of Jiading, once the county seat was breached, what it meant, the two of them knew very well in their hearts. They had no way out, and if they couldn't keep the parishioners out of the city, this Jiading would be as full of corpses as it had been seventeen years ago.

At this time, the situation outside the city has been spread to the city one after another by the people who have escaped, and the people in the city have suffered the scourge of the people of the church a few days ago, this time everyone is really united, not to have a single money or food from the government, nor to be rewarded by the government, and spontaneously plunged into the battle to defend the county.

Originally, there were several gentry in the county who had been hit by the debt settlement according to the plan, but when the people of these gentry organizations knew that the people of the church would kill the Han people when they saw them, and the Han people in several townships were called to kill them, except for the two gentry who hated the Taiping army to the core, the rest of the families gave up the rebellion and gathered people to besiege the people instead. The two gentry who insisted on cooperating with the people of the church had no choice but to move in the direction of Kunshan because of their small manpower and the inability to contact the temple, hoping to take the county seat of Kunshan together with the rebels in Kunshan.

Ma Dalong's department gathered more than 4,000 religious people to rush to Jiading County, but before they were extremely majestic, dozens of people could wash a Han village in blood, which would face a hundred regular troops in Jiading City and a garrison team composed of fast and young people, but they failed to kill a single person in the city for half a day.

Tang Xiao first led the hundreds of households with soldiers, observed the parishioners for a long time, and found that they did not have many weapons, most of the parishioners were only holding bamboo guns, and the command was chaotic, the formation was scattered, and it was completely a rabble, and then decisively ordered the door to open the door and attack.

In order to atone for his sins, Tang Xiao took the lead and rushed out of the city wearing the county magistrate's uniform and carrying a big knife. The magistrate took the lead, and everyone was encouraged by the young and strong officials, and the 100 Taiping troops were also at the forefront.

Ma Dalong fought for a long time, did not kill a single person in the city, but hundreds of his parishioners died, it was when he was angry, he found that the city gate was wide open, and the men and horses in the city rushed out, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and ordered the parishioners to follow him to kill the Han people. Whoever does not move forward will be stoned to death by the people of the temple on the spot.

Ma Dalong overestimated himself and his followers. They have been able to be arrogant until now, bloodbathing countless villages, not because of how capable they are, but because the Han people slaughtered by them were defenseless at all. And once you face a well-organized Han people, especially a team with a regular army, even if there are many people, you can't stop a round.

In less than half an hour, thousands of parishioners were defeated by the defenders of Jiading.

Tang Xianzun, who was killing people with a knife again, had no bodhisattva heart and no worries, and at the moment he only thought about revenge, thinking about avenging the people who died because of his hesitation.

After discovering that they had changed from murderers to murdered people, no matter how much the people in the monastery threatened them, they were unwilling to come forward and send them to death. But they couldn't escape, and more and more people in the city went out of the city with weapons issued by the government to join the hunt for the parishioners, and even some women participated in it.

Tang Xiaoxian issued a "fatwa killing order" in the name of the magistrate outside the city, and everyone in Jiading County, regardless of men and women, officials and people, could participate in the suppression of religious rebellion, and the murderer was not guilty. Even the prisoners in the prison were released.

The county seat could not be broken, and the outside of the city could not be won, and the people who were in turmoil with Ma Dalong were torn apart, and the whole general trend was gone.

Ma Dalong thought that he could make a great career and carry forward the temple, but the final outcome was like this, and he was very unwilling. But no matter how unwilling he was, there was no way, and in the face of the officials and soldiers who were chasing and killing Zelai in all directions, he could only run.

Ma Dalong still couldn't escape in the end, and he was caught on the spot by two families in Hengli. The two arresters were originally going to put Ma Dalong in the formation, but Tang Xiaoxian, who arrived after hearing the news, stopped them and ordered Ma Dalong and a group of captured parishioners to be taken to the city prison.

Three days later, the king of Qi drove a fast horse and ordered Ma Dalong and the captured sect leaders to be executed, and the rest were beheaded and hung on a high place for public display. Those who participated in the rebellion were all exterminated.

The rebellion in Jiading lasted only four days from its beginning to its complete suppression. But in the past four days, the price paid by the people of Jiading is too great. Tang Xiaoxian's preliminary statistics show that there are more than 30,000 corpses found in Jiading County alone, and those who were burned cannot be counted, and there are not many who escaped.

Afterwards, Yu Baien came back from the ruins of various townships and wrote in tears: "In March of the second year of Dingwu, the murderous atmosphere filled the sky. More than 100,000 people were wiped out, and who was not sad to ask. The peach is sad and willow with smoke, and it is yellow and cold. The children of Heyi burst into tears and dyed red azaleas. Qing Song is a song of letter and history, and it is a famous mountain for thousands of years. The blue blood was sprinkled on the ground and the white bones supported the sky, and the cry reached the south of the Yangtze River. ā€

After finding the bodies of Ding Zhubo and the others, Tang Xiaoxian immediately arrived from the city. After kneeling on the river beach and crying for a long time, Tang Xiaoxian suddenly got up and said to his entourage: "I am Jiading's parents, but the people of Jiading have died tens of thousands of people because of me. With that, he jumped into the river. Left and right hurriedly jumped into the river to rescue, and after some struggle, Tang Xiaoxian was finally rescued ashore. After that, he never spoke a word, nor did he drink a drop of water, nor did he eat a grain of rice, but he went on a hunger strike and died.

A few days later, a brocade guard came to Jiading County, showed the driving sticker, and sent Tang Xiao to Nandu first. After knowing that he was locked up, Tang Xiaoxian was willing to eat, and the official asked him why he didn't go on a hunger strike to the end, and he said: "In the past, the hunger strike was only because of his parents, but now he is a criminal official, as a criminal official, how can he go on a hunger strike by himself, and he should be dealt with by the law of the country." ā€

Halfway through, there were Songjiang prefect Cai Wenzhao and other people who were locked up and taken to the southern capital. A month later, Cai Wenzhao was angrily denounced by the King of Qi for being incompetent and typical for his ineffective response to the religious rebellion, and he was shown to the public; Tang Xiaoxian has also been dismissed for the same crime, and the Criminal Department plans to behead, and before the execution, the King of Qi issued a special royal edict to send Tang Xiaoxian to Annan to atone for his sin.

........

In addition to Ma Dalong's tribe in Songjiang, there are many murderers, and Bai Donggan, another religious citizen, also kills countless people. Before the uprising, he lit a fire to his house and a nearby monastery, claiming that the government wanted to puritanize, and coerced hundreds of parishioners to rebel with him.

The cadres of Baidong did not have much goal, and they were in groups of three or five, and small gangs gathered into large teams. They burned and looted all the way, and everywhere they passed, there was bloody rain and smoke. Hearing that many Han traders in Jinshanwei had gathered there, Bai Donggan led his troops to Jinshan. By the time they arrived at Yangjiatan, the nearby Han people had long since fled, and many people had fled to the reedy river beaches and beaches for refuge. There was a village where Han people fled into a cave in Dajin Mountain and were discovered by Shirabe. Because the entrance of the cave was on the cliff, after the villagers stepped on the ladder to enter, they pulled out the ladder, and the white bandits could not go up and could not enter, so they pulled out the dry Mt. Peng, which was poisonous and burned under the entrance of the cave. Smoke rose and drilled into the hole, and there was a panic in the cave, and some villagers fainted.

There is a young man surnamed Zhang in the cave, his name is Quanzhu, he is not married, he is tall and big, because of his good family background, he usually wanders around, likes to help people fight, and he is good at gambling, and his reputation among the villagers is very poor. However, this person likes to drill on Dajin Mountain because he has nothing to do, so he knows that there is a hidden exit from this hole in the mountain. So when he saw that the situation was critical and that everyone could not live, he took a sickle with him and climbed in the direction of the hidden exit.

The young man surnamed Zhang had another gambling friend named Liu Ergou, who quietly followed behind Zhang Quanzhu. However, Liu Ergou didn't know that there was a woman behind him, but she was the daughter-in-law of the Jiang family in the village, and she was seven months pregnant. When he arrived at the exit, Zhang Quanzhu knew that he was behind him. It's all from the same village, and it's a critical moment of life and death, but Zhang Quanzhu didn't leave the two of them alone. He climbed up first, pulled the Jiang family's daughter-in-law up, and asked Liu Ergou to push the Jiang family's daughter-in-law's fart below. Share. Why is the entrance of the cave too small, and the daughter-in-law of the Jiang family has a big belly, so she can't get through. Helpless, Zhang Quanzhu could only be ruthless, and as a result, the daughter-in-law of the Jiang family was pulled up, but the child in her belly also fell off. But it can be regarded as saving his life, you must know that there are more than 200 people in the cave, and only three of them survived.

Because of the miscarriage, the daughter-in-law of the Jiang family passed out at that time, and Zhang Quanzhu and Liu Ergou hid her in a secluded place. The two split up to find a way out. I didn't want to, but Liu Ergou was found and grabbed by the bandits, tied his hands forward together, and cut them down by the river, his hands were broken and fell into the river, and Liu Ergou fainted in pain. The bandits raised their hands and left, Liu Ergou was really fateful, but he didn't die like this, but survived. Because he lost his hands, he has since fallen into a nickname, called "Liu Wushou".

Zhang Quanzhu was also discovered by the bandits, running desperately in front with a sickle, and more than a dozen bandits chasing after him. When he was about to run out of breath, Zhang Quanzhu suddenly gritted his teeth and glanced back, and when he found that the bandit who was chasing the fastest was only four or five steps away from him, he turned around sharply and slashed at the bandit's neck with a sickle, only cutting half of the bandit's neck. After pulling back the sickle and kicking the bandit down, Zhang Quanzhu continued to run, and the bandit behind him chased more and more frantically. When he was about to catch up with Zhang Quanzhu again, Zhang Quanzhu suddenly stopped and turned around again, with a wave of his long arm, the light of the sickle crossed an arc, and the head of the bandit fell to the ground, and the headless corpse ran forward several steps before falling to the ground, and the blood on the neck sprayed so high.

This time, the bandits behind were all afraid, and they didn't chase anymore. But they didn't chase them, and this whole column didn't run anymore, and the sickle with the blade that was broken chased them viciously!

In this way, Zhang Quanzhu ran after the thirteen bandits alone, and five of them were hacked to death by him before and after, and the rest were so fast that he couldn't catch them, so he asked them to run.

After being safe, Zhang Quanzhu did not escape alone, but returned to the hiding place of the Jiang family's daughter-in-law, picked her up from the ground, and escaped with her. Later, the daughter-in-law of the Jiang family followed Zhang Quanzhu.

After the Jiangnan Rebellion, Zhang Quanzhu's deeds were discovered, and Zhou Shixiang personally wrote the words "lonely hero" and gave it to him, and made an exception to the position of captain of the Jinshan County Security Brigade.
