Qingzhou City more than 30 miles radius suddenly gathered 50,000 displaced people, naturally in all directions, Qingzhou City but all remote temples, alleys, slums have become the gathering place of the homeless people, these originally dilapidated places made even more filthy, all over the place of feces and urine, so that the local residents complained, at this time everywhere is everywhere ragged homeless people, occasionally see the roadside there are dead corpses.

They either waited to go to the side of Shezhoupu and wait for the rich family to make porridge, or they stayed in the cold wind shivering, with straw sticks on their heads, waiting for the rich buyer to buy themselves or their whole family. There is a Sanliu Lane in Qingzhou City, which has always been an area where the poor gather, and now it is crowded with displaced people.

In a small courtyard deep in Sanliu Lane, more than 20 ragged men were gathered in a room, although they were all wearing tattered clothes, they were all full of energy and their faces were quite ruddy, which was very different from the hungry and thin homeless people around them. And they all bulged up with bags on their bodies, obviously there were guys hidden in their bodies, and one of them, a man with a strong figure and a fierce expression, about thirty years old, was the most eye-catching, and his expression exuded a fierceness that could not be concealed.

Opposite him, a young man with a thin figure and a shrewd look was reporting to him: "Master, the little ones have all listened, at the moment there are only more than 1,000 soldiers in Qingzhou Mansion, and the people gathered in the city have exceeded 50,000, and now the rich families in the city have stopped giving porridge." Last night, more than 300 people froze to death and starved to death, and the resentment of the displaced people is very great, according to the small judgment, as long as we tempt the people a little later, we can rise up and occupy the entire Qingzhou Mansion. ”

"Good!" The sturdy man stretched out his big palm with a dustpan and slapped it the table in front of him and said loudly: "This time, King Chuang sent me to Shandong to make an incident, which is worthy of my high merit, and the brothers of King Chuang and Lao Baying are also watching us in Henan, so we must do a beautiful job for them this time!" ”

It turned out that this big man was Gao Yigong, one of the generals under Li Zicheng, the leader of the Liukou, and was ordered by Li Zicheng to bring more than 100 brothers from the old camp to Shandong to prepare for the riot in Henan. Who knew that it happened to encounter a wave of displaced people who poured into Qingzhou, and launching the uprising of displaced people was originally the specialty of these rogues, so this was also considered by Gao Yigong as a godsend opportunity to capture Qingzhou.

At this time, a shrewd-looking man beside Gao Yigong showed a look of hesitation on his face, he thought for a while and said: "Master Gao, the last time King Chuang ordered me to wait in Jinan to make trouble, it was because Jinan is close to Henan, as long as the army of King Chuang is captured in Jinan, he can immediately wave his army to the east to support, but if it is changed to attack Qingzhou, those eagle dogs of the imperial court will inevitably fight back wildly, and then King Chuang is far away in Henan and it is difficult to support us, and we may suffer a big loss." ”

Gao Yigong's face showed displeasure, "Li Guo, what are you talking about, I have hundreds of old battalion brothers here, are you still afraid that the more than 1,000 soft-footed shrimp-like officers and soldiers will not succeed?" As long as Qingzhou is captured, the reputation of our righteous army will be even more prestigious, where do those officers and soldiers dare to come to die, besides, we still have 50,000 displaced people in hand, even if those officers and soldiers come, we will step on those officers and soldiers to step on them, and the officers and soldiers of Jinan Mansion have long been frightened by the prestige of our righteous army, how dare they run out of the city to die? ”

After speaking, Gao Yigong laughed, as if he was laughing at Li Guo's timidity.

A flush swelled up on Li Guo's face, but he was quickly suppressed by him, he endured a sigh and said: "Master Gao, it's not me Li Guo who refutes your face, there is more than one Jinan Mansion next to us, and there are also Laizhou Mansion, Dengzhou Mansion, and Gunzhou Mansion near Qingzhou, what should we do if they send troops at the same time?" ”

Gao Yigong said disdainfully: "Hmph, even if the officers and soldiers of their three prefectures come to attack us at the same time, it is okay to ransack Qingzhou City and then retreat calmly, so that we can not only get the food and gold and silver treasures that we measured, but also get tens of thousands of troops for nothing, why not?" Li Guo, have you forgotten the housekeeping skills of our righteous army? ”

As soon as Gao Yigong's words were finished, dozens of men next to him laughed, and they left when they beat and robbed, and it was their forte to coerce the people into being rogues, and they were too familiar with doing such things.

"That's it!" A man with a silver smile smiled cheaply: "We haven't opened meat for a long time, this time we are going to attack this Qingzhou Mansion and arrest those official wives and official ladies to have fun, those official ladies are all fine skin and tender meat, and it is a special taste to enjoy it!" ”

"Hahahaha"

The man's words caused a burst of laughter from his companions.

A companion scolded with a smile: "Jia Laosi, you are a mischievous and want to do evil again, last time, the official lady of the county magistrate was killed by you just one night, and now I am thinking about the young lady of the prefect's family, you are not afraid of dying of your beauty." ”

Jia Laosi said indifferently: "Anyway, those officials and young ladies grew up eating the fat and ointment of our people, and now they are repaying us for these hardships haha!" ”

After speaking, Jia Laosi and the surrounding men all laughed wildly.

Gao Yigong looked at the "bold words" issued by these men with a smile, disregarded in his heart, and said to Li Guo: "Li Guo, have you seen it, the brothers can't wait, with the efforts of the brothers, the capture of Qingzhou Mansion is a matter of taking the snail with three fingers - nine out of ten." Now you go and tell the brothers outside, let them start spreading rumors, stir up the emotions of the homeless, and in two days it will be the beginning of our trouble, and then you will have a share of the benefits. ”

Looking at the high level of his satisfaction, although Li Guo still had concerns in his heart, he could only helplessly clench his fists and say: "Yes, the little one obeys the orders of the master!" ”

After speaking, Li Guo turned around and pushed open the door and walked out.

Just when Gao Yigong and his party were plotting to start an incident, Pang Gang also led a group of soldiers to send invitations along the mansions of the rich gentry.

Although there are not as many wealthy gentry in Qingzhou City as in Jinan, the capital of Shandong, there are more than 40 households, and Pang Gang led people to deliver them door to door for a morning.

Those who received the invitation opened the invitation and saw that it was the new Lingshan Wei Qianhu who wanted to invite everyone to invite everyone to invite everyone to invite guests to the best restaurant in Qingzhou Mansion tonight, and discuss disaster relief plans by the way.

After receiving the invitation, the rich gentry reacted differently, some had the idea of watching the excitement in their hearts, some just smiled indifferently and threw the invitation into the waste paper basket, and some were hesitating whether to spend a small amount of money to send away these military masters who came to fight the autumn breeze.

Although the reactions of these wealthy gentry were different, their attitudes all had one thing in common, that is, no one took this Lingshan Wei Qianhu out of nowhere.
