Chapter 112: Escape into the Mountains
In the high mountains and mountains of Tanshang Town, Dai County, a group of embarrassed people sat on the ground at random at the moment, one of them licked his shriveled and cracked lips, licked his saliva from time to time, and called out weakly to the person lying next to him, "Is there anything else to eat?" ”
Just look closely at this person, his hair is scattered, not only does his body exude a foul smell, but even the undershirt on his body is dark and dark and knotted, and if you look closely at the blood stains that have indeed dried up a long time ago, there are still two thick scars on his arms, and on the chest exposed in front of him, a long mark is clearly visible, near the scars, there are bruises that have not faded, which is really miserable, making people wonder how he survived.

This group of people is three days ago, led the people of Tanshang Town, Dai County to raise troops to resist the tax, when the official army came, the Song family gathered in Song Guisan's house, seeing that there were only a dozen or so messengers who entered the village, and the Song family Ding was so many, hearing the movement, all came out, everyone was indignant, indignant, and saw that the messenger wanted to break the family and take people, where to follow.
In the conflict, I don't know who moved first, anyway, an abrupt hoe directly called a servant head to break the blood flow, wailing this rolled to the ground, the gang of officials almost exploded their lungs, and the mud legs in the past actually dared to resist, how did they get it, they directly moved the knife, and there were four or five Song clans who were cut down on the spot, and there were many people, but now they can completely stab the hornet's nest.
The Song family is in this area, not to mention that one side is strong, but it is also a big family, although there are not a few scholars, but it has been rooted here for hundreds of years, climbing branches and intermarriages, not to mention, there are many craftsmen in the family, if it is not united, outsiders have been bullied a long time ago.
Now I saw that my family had suffered a loss, where was I willing to follow, and there were nearby villagers surnamed Ma and other villagers who rushed to help and cheer when they heard the news, and the whole four or five hundred people gathered together, and suddenly they were bold, and in the chaos, I don't know who provoked the head, everyone took farm tools and tools, and directly beckoned to go up, a group of officials, seven or eight fell on the spot, and the rest were also called to hold on to the brain.
Just when everyone calmed down, and then looked at those officials who had been dead for a long time, they were afraid, this is the crime of killing the head, just when everyone was at a loss, a helpless and oppressed peasant directly shouted a deafening sentence, "The dog official has no way, let's fight!" ”
Another Song family member who has been going to the countryside and villages all the year round answered, "I see that Chunxian County in the south has long been reversed, they have killed big families, and they are in charge of their own affairs, why don't we follow the example and directly turn against his mother." ”
In this way, seeing that there was no way back, everyone was holding a woodcutter at home, a hoe, and shouting the words of "resist taxes", which swept the whole township, and the bankrupt peasants who had long been oppressed by taxes rose up to respond at this moment, and only in the middle of the night, this farce, which was originally because two villagers were beaten and arrested, directly developed into an uprising in the whole village, the whole township, and even the entire Dai County.
They were armed with rudimentary weapons, almost no organization, consciously participated, and began to attack the neighboring large households, but whenever they broke the house, they rushed directly into it, killed people when they saw them, and robbed them when they saw things, but the big households were defenseless, and they were so sudden that they could not be relieved at all, and by the morning of the second day, there were dozens of large families that were looted and slaughtered.
At this time, the peasants who had risen up to resist taxes could no longer stop, and their hands were stained with the blood of the big clan, and they plundered the property of the big clan, staring at the red eyes, aiming at the next target--- the county seat of Dai County.
They followed the bold ones in a messy and blind way, and went directly to the county seat, and along the way, there were constantly peasants who rushed to the team after hearing the news, and when they arrived at the city of Daixian, there were already four or five thousand people, but Daizhou was the state city after all, and there were hundreds of soldiers stationed.
However, the city is in the day of paying taxes these days, and the peasants who have come from all over the country to pay the taxes have also been agitated one by one after hearing the news, and they have begun to riot in the city with the flat nails and rakes of the tax paid.
At this moment, the limited manpower of the officers and soldiers, coupled with the limited food and salary in the past, they were not willing to work for the imperial court at all, and even more, they directly responded to the peasant army inside and outside the city, and went to attack the defense of the officials and soldiers who were already crumbling.
Seeing that the officers and soldiers were at a loss, this group of peasant troops who responded in the city took advantage of the situation to storm for a while, but unfortunately the rioting peasants were even more useless, and there was no order at all, so that the officers and soldiers who resisted indiscriminately beat them head-on, repeated several times, and could not take the city gate, but instead left a few corpses, and fled in a hurry, and those rebel troops outside the city could not enter the city gate at all, so they had to stare outside.
During the stalemate, fortunately, the general of Datong Town, Shanxi Province, was ordered by the governor of Xuanda to lead the headquarters to assist in the defense of more than 1,200 registered officers and troops to the south, passing through Dai County, and Zhenwuwei heard the news and sent troops to rescue, and the imperial court reinforcements from the northeast arrived at the same time.
The official army chased and killed twenty miles, beheaded countless and returned, but the local Zhenwuwei because of the military tun matter, more conflicts with the Daizhou government, this attack, although it is a matter of duty, but to Daizhou asked for 5,000 taels of silver, 3,000 stones, Daizhou Zhizhou's beard trembled, angry, and directly refused.
"Why should the boss be angry, there is a Datong elite soldier, which can ensure the safety of Daizhou, why not force this army to stay, just give a little money and food." The clever staff came up, said this directly, and got permission, and bargained with the Datong army on behalf of the state, and forcibly stayed for a few days, and waited for the second order of the governor of Xuanda to arrive, and directly ordered him to suppress the bandits on the spot, which was completely left.
It's just that Zhenwuwei didn't get any benefits, so he naturally didn't contribute to the work, and almost connived at the homeless people to escape into the mountains and wilderness, and the angry Datong general jumped to his feet and scolded his mother, so he had to divide his troops to suppress it everywhere, and the peasants who rebelled, the native of the village, were very familiar with the terrain, and drilled directly into the ravine, which made the officers and soldiers look at the mountains and sigh.
After a day like this, the receipt of Daizhou's impeachment of Zhenwuwei also arrived, under the murderous strict order of Shanxi Dusi, Zhenwuwei had to also be put into suppression, and their joining, it gave a fatal blow to the army of displaced people who were already on the verge of collapse.
The officials and soldiers were completely helpless at this time, and they didn't know the pain of entering the mountains, so they had to divide their troops one by one, guarding the main roads everywhere, trying to completely trap the army of displaced people in the mountains, but in this way, it was delayed for a long time, seeing that there were no less than two or three thousand displaced people entering the mountains, and the whole of Daizhou was really anxious.
However, at present, it is difficult for the upper and lower states of Daizhou, and it is even more difficult for the peasant army, they fled into the mountains in a hurry, and on the way they called the officers and soldiers to chase and kill everywhere, and a large number of baggage were all lost, leaving only a small amount of grain and silver that they were reluctant to discard, but after two days of entering the mountains, they were almost desperate and faced a problem at the same time, that is, they ran out of food.
At present, this road is a part of the Song family's troops, and the leader is Song Dagui, the eldest brother of the Song Gui family, I saw him licking his mouth at the moment, looking at his clan brothers with hopeful eyes......
