"Thank you, folks, but we will never accept this food. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
To the surprise of the villagers, these refugees seemed to be very principled, and there were hundreds of people, but none of them accepted their food, but they just drank some water and thanked them repeatedly.
The unexpected villagers looked at the person who spoke, a young man who looked to be no more than twenty years old, "Child, eat!" You're all starving, it's just a little food, don't worry. Some well-meaning villagers opened their mouths to persuade them, but still no one moved.
The young man stood up, threw his hand to the villagers, and said, "Fellow villagers, we are indeed hungry, but we are all people with dignity and dignity, how can we eat and drink for nothing, if we eat the food of the villagers, we must do some work for the village to stop." ”
"Yes, you can't eat it for nothing." The refugees shouted in unison as the young man's voice fell, their eyes steadfast and shining.
The villagers sighed, and an old man came out, probably an old man like the village chief, although his face was old, but he was in good spirits, and said with a smile: "Good men, you are all good, eat, don't embarrass you, it's almost March now, and the early rice in the village is about to be planted, so you can help plant the seedlings!" ”
"Okay!"
The refugees rejoiced, then ceased to be polite, and devoured them.
……
Kaneda Village.
At the head of the village, Hong Renkong looked up at the sky and sighed in his heart, it was time for the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement to break out.
"Changhui, are you all ready?" Hong Renkong looked at Wei Changhui, who came out with her, and asked.
Wei Changhui nodded, "Boss, everything is ready, all the soldiers are fully armed, and the villagers are all arranged, just waiting for your order." ”
"Okay, let's go!"
The two of them left and walked towards the troop training ground in Kanemura.
The training ground was a large and spacious rice field, and the black-pressed soldiers stood straight, with no end in sight, and their momentum was majestic, just waiting for their commander to give the final order.
On a high platform, Hong Renkong and Wei Changhui walked together.
"Salute!" With a shout, one person took the lead, and all the soldiers were in unison.
"Report to the commander, the Second Army of the Taiping Army (the Second Army of the Taiping Army Combat Army) is ready, please instruct."
"Smack!" A military salute, Yang Xiuqing stood like a green pine, not moving at all, heroic posture, and a serious face.
"Well, it's hard work Commander Yang." Hong Renkong patted Yang Xiuqing on the shoulder, he was quite proud in his heart, such a strict military discipline, at a glance, he knew that the army with strong combat power was known, but I, Hong Renkong, asked it to appear in history in advance.
The Jintian Uprising was invincible.
"Huh?"
But the next moment, Hong Renkong's eyes condensed slightly, and his expression became serious, "Commander Yang, what's going on?" ”
Hong Renkong looked at the middle of the troops, a group of people in coarse linen clothes, of different ages, and even some old people, turned out to be a group of ordinary people.
"Commander......
"Heavenly King, don't blame Commander Yang!" An old man walked out and bowed, but was stopped by Hong Renkong.
"Old village chief, what do you mean by this?"
This old man is the village chief of Jintian Village, and he is already an old man with gray hair, but at this time, his eyes are firm, his body trembles slightly, and he said loudly: "Heavenly King, take us with you, we will also revolt with you." ”
"This, old village chief, didn't I say it! It's good to have our soldiers, the people are not good at fighting, and if they go to increase casualties, how can I bear it! ”
"Where's the Heavenly King!" The old man knelt down abruptly, but Hong Renkong did not stop him unexpectedly.
"We know that the king of heaven is benevolent and righteous, takes care of the people, and does not let us go to the battlefield, but, but our villagers in Jintian Village are fed up with the oppression of dog officials and exploited by corrupt officials."
"Since the Qing Dynasty began to corrupt, how many people have gone to our village every year just because of hunger! Not to mention the forced conscription of our wives by the imperial court, and the heavy taxation of our widows, and now, we can finally resist, we can't wait to swallow those thieves alive, so as to avenge our dead villagers! ”
"Heavenly King, aren't you willing to fulfill even this little wish?"
The old voice rejects the heavens and the earth, not big, to make people feel tears.
Many villagers even began to cry.
"Pray that the king of heaven will be fulfilled."
All the villagers knelt down, they knew what they were doing, and they might even die, but they were not afraid, they just wanted to see with their own eyes the 'enemies' they gritted their teeth day and night perish one by one, even if it was a glance.
There were also many soldiers in the army who were from Jintian Village, and when they saw this, they knelt down together and shouted, "Please be the commander." ”
"Boss!" Wei Changhui also shouted in a low voice, looking pleading, pleading for the villagers.
"Alas!" Hong Renkong sighed, helped the old village chief again, and then said, "Yang Xiuqing listens to the order." ”
"Here!"
"The platoon intelligence soldiers sent the information to Guiping City, and the Chenshi uprising, the villagers followed, and it was placed at the end."
"Yes"
……
Next to the rice field, these refugees are all sharp hands and feet, and it didn't take long to help the villagers finish planting the rice seedlings, and the villagers looked at these refugees with softer eyes, good men.
"The village chief," the young man began, "are you satisfied with your current life?" ”
The village chief was stunned, glanced at the surrounding villagers, and said with a wry smile: "After a busy year, in the end there is nothing left, all taxes have been paid, and there are officials from time to time to collect things ......, alas! What can we do without mentioning it! ”
"Grandpa the village chief, let's go the other way!"
"yes......"
"Shut up" The village chief drank, glanced at those who spoke, all of them were his juniors, and then said to the young man: "Let you laugh, juniors are naughty, talk some nonsense, I hope the little brothers don't mind!" ”
"Where is the village chief, but to say something from the heart, the two dogs (the villagers who spoke) are right, the current society can only be changed if it is reversed! Otherwise, I don't know when most of the people in the world will become like us wandering and escaping. ”
"You ......" the village chief opened his mouth and sighed again, "Having said that, do you see that there are fewer rebellions everywhere every year?" But even those heroes have extraordinary martial arts, but they all failed in the end, not to mention our weak people! ”
"Village chief, have you heard of the king of Guangxi?"
"You mean King Hong!" The village chief returned excitedly.
"Exactly"
"How can I not know this" The old village chief sighed: "The king of heaven is benevolent and righteous, has great wisdom, and thinks about the people everywhere. ”
"Then you know that the Heavenly King has decided to break out in an uprising, and he is about to erect a banner, overthrow the rule of the Qing Dynasty, and give birth to a peaceful and harmonious country."
"What?"
The village chief trembled all over, and the surrounding villagers were also short of breath, their faces full of shock.
"So, is this true?"
