Chapter 1100: Gone in Smoke

With a wave of the fan, the thieves disappeared. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Wang Shirong at the head of Kunshan City, his loud voice resounded in the air, and he was extremely tall under the sun. At this time, he lacked a feather fan in his hand.

It is impossible for the Kunshan rebel gentry, who had a large number, to disband their men and horses and tie themselves to the city because of Wang Shirong's words. However, they couldn't do anything, so they could only grit their teeth and curse at the head of Kunshan City under the city, and most of the curses were directed at Wang Shirong. If you really count it, I am afraid that six of the gentry who rebelled today were forced by Wang Shirong to rebel. Without him, when the day was clearing, Ambassador Wang's methods were really ruthless, and the people did not understand at all, and the official documents approved from his pen did not know how many scholars' fame had been revoked, I didn't know how many people had been locked up, and I didn't know how many "village sages" had died with a cane.

Wang Shirong is a poisonous snake for the gentry of Suzhou, originally this poisonous snake did not know where to hide, but today it swam out, and it is still extremely presumptuous in the city, and all the rebel gentry are excited with sparks in their eyes and rough air in their nostrils.

Anger to anger, hatred to hate, what to do in front of you?

This city, to fight or not to fight?

Since ancient times, rebellions have to have a head.

The so-called snake without a head is not good, and the rebel gentry naturally thought of the unified order and elected a leader who everyone was convinced of. In this way, the order is clear, and the next action can be decided. Otherwise, you say yours, I say mine, you say fight, I say go, how will this battle be fought?

In terms of influence, the Lu family, the Wang family, and the Xu family are all famous gentry in Kunshan, and their ancestors have all been big officials. Especially the Wang family, but there has been a queen, and it is not in the past, but now. The queen of Yongli is the daughter of the Wang family!

It stands to reason that it is impossible for the Wang family to participate in the rebellion, although Yongli asked the rebel Wu Sangui to kill, but didn't Queen Wang and the prince and others ask the Taiping army to rescue them and welcome them into the southern capital. I heard that when the queen entered the city, Emperor Dingwu sent the first assistant Guo Zhiqi to greet him, and he himself waited at the palace gate, and he was very respectful to the queen and the prince and the queen mother.

As the emperor of the dynasty, Emperor Dingwu welcomed the queen and queen into the palace with his sons and nephews, and personally placed them in the palace, and gave the prince Yongli a courtesy to the prince, which is benevolent and righteous, after all, Yongli has never recognized Emperor Dingwu before his death, calling him a "puppet emperor". Now he can do this, treat the queen as the queen mother, and no one in the world can say whether it is wrong or not.

The daughter of the Wang family is the queen mother of the dynasty, but the Wang family participated in the rebellion, which no one can figure out, and they can't figure it out if they break their heads.

The Wang family thought clearly and understood that they had to rebel, because the queen mother in the palace couldn't help them at all, and those thieves and talented eagle dogs never regarded them as relatives of the emperor at all.

On that day, the Taiping Tiger Wolf transferred by the Qing Debt Division smashed open the gate of the Wang family and drove the palace up and down to the courtyard, which was the biggest pain in the hearts of everyone in the Wang family.

When the people who went to Nandu to report for help didn't even enter the palace gate, they were tied up by the Taiping Army and escorted back, the head of the Wang family was completely disappointed in Nandu and his niece who was the queen mother.

In fact, Empress Wang's parents had already passed away a few years ago, and although the Wang family had such a daughter who was the empress of the Yongli Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, they had never written a letter to the empress for fifteen years from the first year of Yongli to the present, nor had they ever said a word about the empress in front of outsiders. It seems that this queen has nothing to do with their royal family at all.

Thinking about the bitterness, this is the helplessness of the Wang family, and it is a way to protect oneself. Because after all, the whole Wang family lives in the area controlled by the Qing Dynasty, if they often talk about being the daughter of the queen of the Ming Dynasty and show off, they will definitely be looking for their own death.

Thinking about it harshly, the Wang family was worried from the beginning that this daughter who married Zhu Youlang, who was not even the son of the vassal king, would bring disaster to their family. So they don't admit it, they don't admit that they have such a daughter and such a queen.

No matter what the Wang family thinks, in fact, for more than ten years, they have indeed not had any contact with Queen Wang, and even many of the younger generations in the family do not know that they have such a queen aunt.

After the Taiping army entered the south of the Yangtze River and Emperor Dingwu worshipped Xiaoling in the southern capital, the status of the Wang family was not improved, but became more and more embarrassing. Because the newly enthroned Emperor Dingwu has nothing to do with the emperor's son-in-law in their family, and it has nothing to do with their queen's niece. Even, the two sides are still hostile, they don't recognize each other, and each wants to destroy the relationship with the other. The Dingwu Dynasty respected Yongli as the Emperor Taishang, which in the eyes of the Wang family, was ridicule and ridicule at all, not that the Dingwu Emperor was really willing to respect Zhu Youlang.

It's just that on the surface, the status of the Wang family seems to have really improved a little, at least, the big families in Songjiang are much more polite to his Wang family than before, and the government is also polite to their Wang family.

This made the Wang family really have a little illusion, thinking that their daughter who became the empress dowager of the Dingwu Dynasty would really make them a relative of the emperor.

The arrival of the GI made this illusion disappear at once.

Fake, everything is fake.

What the Queen Mother, what the Queen Mother's family, what the royal relatives and relatives, are all fake, all bullshit!

Even the emperor is fake!

This Dingwu Dynasty, this Jiangnan, it is the thief Xiucai who is in charge, and the one who does things is also the thief Xiucai!

The thief Xiucai is not Li Dingguo, the thief Xiucai is Sun Kewang!

If it weren't for Sun Kewang, the people of the Wang family would be able to jump into the river now.

The head of the Wang family took a risk and participated in the Songjiang Uprising. The original plan and the people of the uprising, as well as the rest of the families, worked together to take Jiading City, but they didn't want to, because the people slaughtered the Han people everywhere, causing the gentry who rebelled to change their minds and no longer oppose the Qing Dynasty, but instead surrounded and exterminated the people, so that the power of the Songjiang uprising quickly fell apart. The Wang family didn't want to wait for death in Songjiang, so they went to Kunshan under the leadership of the head of the family.

After a group of gentry gathered, the leader of the public election, Wang Mingzhe, the head of the Wang family, thought that he would definitely be promoted by the public, because after all, his family had a queen. However, it was precisely because his family had a Ming Empress that all the rebel gentry did not believe him and were unwilling to elect him as the leader. Of course, the most important reason for this is that the Wang family is from Songjiang, not from Kunshan, the so-called strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, why should the people of Kunshan listen to the orders of your Songjiang people?

Become the leader of the uprising, order all the horses, and after the matter is completed, you will definitely get the greatest benefits. Who doesn't want to do this beautiful thing, who wants to let someone else do it? They have all come out to rebel, and the gentry have long since lost their way out. Either die or develop, who is willing to make a dowry for others, and the benefits obtained by working hard will be taken by others.

After arguing for a long time, there was no result.

Seeing that it was dark, the gentry realized that it would definitely not work like this, and a new proposal was proposed, that is, the big guy publicly recommended Tanhualang Ye Fangai as the leader. This proposal has been recognized by most people, after all, Ye Fangwei's fame was given by the Qing Dynasty, and it was also given by the thief Xiucai, and his fame for exploring flowers was also the highest among all the people present, and the Ye family brought a lot of people, since this is the case, everyone will take Ye Tanhua as the leader.

Ye Fangwei didn't expect to become the leader in the end, he was really surprised and delighted. Ye Tiancheng is extremely supportive of his son being the leader, why did he rebel? Don't you want to help your son regain everything he lost?

The matter was a foregone conclusion.

After Ye Fang-ai became the leader, he immediately restrained each family, and asked each family to report the actual strength, such as how many people to bring, how many weapons, how much grain and grass, etc., and to appoint officials of all sizes in a decent manner. In order to appease everyone and unite everyone, Ye Tanhua was rewarded when he came, so much so that Xiucai, who brought his brother-in-law to participate in the uprising, was also appointed as a county magistrate.

Being promoted and making a fortune is a great blessing in life.

Kunshan City is not down, and Wang Shirong is still in the city, but there are more and more rebel teams gathered outside the city, and the momentum is getting bigger and bigger.

However, what Ye Tanhua and his gentry saw was that there were many people and great strength, but Wang Shirong in the city saw a bunch of local chickens and dogs. From noon to evening, every time there was an extra contingent of rebels, Wang Shirong would pay attention to them, and then write down their grass banners and approximate numbers. Every time he came, Wang Shirong would chuckle from the bottom of his heart. He wished there were more people coming, because then there would be more chaos outside the city.

After all, there is a difference between the army and the people, the army is the army, and the people are the people.

When the county security brigade and the chief Bo and others asked Wang Shirong for advice on how to break the enemy, Wang Shirong was confident and told them to rest assured.

When the night darkened, there was silence inside the city, and there was an uproar outside the city. There were fires everywhere, makeshift camps everywhere. There were probably less than a hundred soldiers in the rebel army, and most of them were farmers and tenants who had never even held a sword, as well as scoundrels, and daring men who wanted to take advantage of the fire. Encampment such a "technical work", where will they be. Even if someone teaches them now, they don't bother to answer. In the minds of most rebel soldiers, rebellion is to rush forward, then shout a few times, and finally the old man above will give some bounty. As for the rest, they haven't seen it.

The rebel army is now busy with the problem of eating, and a large number of teams come from all over the county and outside the county, some know each other, and some do not know each other. The emperor is not short of hungry soldiers, and the gentry and old men may not even give them stuttering.

Eating is indeed a big problem, and all the gentry know that it is very important, but they are in a hurry, and how can they bring so much food, they all think that Kunshan City will definitely be taken in one fell swoop, and they are afraid that there will be no food after entering the city? Some weren't even prepared to spend the night outside the city.

Now, they are all dumbfounded, hanging the text and dragging sentences, the readers are all amazing, how to make people eat their stomachs, they stare dryly. In the end, with the temporary "help" of several local gentry in Kunshan, tens of thousands of horses barely filled their stomachs. Then they formed groups of three or five and slept indiscriminately. Eating is a big deal, and sleeping is even more important. There are certainly no tents, and there are also gentry and old men who live. The big guy will hold the straw and deal with it, and when Ming'er Ye Tanhua leads the big guy into the city, are you afraid that there will be no place to sleep?

There are those who sleep, and there are those who don't. There were gambling money everywhere, and there were people who drank alcohol, and some of them had secretly run out after dark, wanting to see if there were any villages nearby and grabbing a fortune.

Military discipline, that is definitely not there. The gentry could probably only barely restrain their clansmen and households, and the other people who came by inducement, deception, or coercion, but they begged the other party not to run away and burn high incense, how could they expect the other party to have any concept of military discipline.

Ye Fangwei had done Tanhua after all, and he had also seen the military formation during the Ming and Qing Dynasties in the Jiangbei War, so he was very worried about the current chaos outside the city.

Ye Tiancheng was also worried and swollen, and he couldn't break the city in one day, which had already caused him to have some bad thoughts. For the sake of the family and his son, Ye Tiancheng cheered up and dispatched all the capable people of Ye Jiazhuang to watch everywhere carefully.

There are not many officers and soldiers in the city, and the gentry and gentry know this, otherwise they would not have the courage to attack the city, and they would not even consider that those people in the city have the courage to go out of the city to attack them. However, I am not afraid of 10,000, just in case, after receiving Ye Tanhua's order, the gentry still sent some capable people to stand guard more or less.

Soon, at midnight, the outside of Kunshan City, which had been noisy for a day, finally quieted down.

After a tired day, everyone else was sleeping with straw, but he was sent by the master to watch the post, Hu Ada must be in a bad mood. But the old man was kind to himself, and he gave himself a silver ingot when he got up, and promised to marry the maid Xiaohuan to him when the matter was completed, so no matter how bad Hu Ada was in a bad mood and sleepy, he also stood there motionless and stared at the direction of Kunshan.

Suddenly, Hu Ada felt as if a dark shadow flashed in front of him, he rubbed his eyes, and when he looked again, he saw nothing.

Damn, what the hell?

Hu Ada was a little surprised, picked up the bamboo spear, took a few cautious steps forward, and then slashed into the grass a few times.

Without moving, Hu Ada withdrew the bamboo spear, feeling that he was suspicious. When he turned around, his back hurt, and then someone strangled his mouth and dragged him aside.

Wang Shirong sent people out of the city to attack the rebels, and he was very bold and confident in sending ten people.

Among the ten people, the captain was retired from the Taiping Army, the remaining four were from the county security brigade, three were Yamen arresters, and two were Jinyi guards who reported to Wang Shirong.

For Lord Wang to send ten people out of the city to sneak attack, the officials in Kunshan must have been shocked. But what shocked them even more was that these ten people really wiped out tens of thousands of people outside the city.
