262 Wenxi tragedy
As logistics, in fact, the work is very easy, that is, regularly go to the nearby official warehouse to get grain, which is approved by the imperial court, a team of thousands of people, from Sichuan to Shanxi, the front is infinitely extended, it is unrealistic to transport grain from Sichuan, and it is also very wasteful, sending troops to fight across the border, without Shanxi officials and people to send troops and salaries, even if it is good, the supply of grain and grass is still required, of course, when the supply of grain and grass is not timely, or the formalities are not timely, it is also necessary to take silver to buy from the people or squires.
It's a good deal.
At this time, Jin (Shanxi), Hebei (Hebei), and Henan (Henan) can be said to have riots in all directions, and the people have become disasters, and there are hundreds of large and small rebel armies, such as the eight kings of Xiying, the eight kings of Nanying, the king of one word, the three hands, Lao Huihui, Zijinliang, Chuang Jiang, the Four Tigers, Huanglong, Mantianxing, Chuangwang, Zhang Fei, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Shi Luotian, and other well-known rebel armies have dozens of shares, which can be said to be flooded.
The rebellion formed a torrent.
These people, in order to take a resounding name, even the celebrities of the Three Kingdoms also dispatched, Lu Haoshan could only shake his head when he heard it, and said that heroes are born in troubled times, but not every one of them is a success, and it is impossible for every one of them to be a hero.
In Jin, Hebei and Henan, Jin is the most chaotic, Shanxi land is barren, and the people live poorly, but Shanxi is rich in minerals, there are many miners, in order to make more money, those mine owners desperately squeeze those miners, those miners dare not speak out, so that as soon as they hear that the righteous army is coming, they take the initiative to respond, and join the ranks of the righteous army in groups, which not only enhances the strength of the righteous army, but also leads the way for them, that is, some people in the city will also respond, which can be described as "a spark and a prairie fire".
As a logistical tool, Lu Haoshan had no intention of competing with Dong Jian, and kept following behind. Only offer what you can.
After entering the territory of Shanxi, Lu Haoshan led his eight hundred elite soldiers in Pingyang Mansion has been marching along the Fenshui, this route is not chosen by Lu Haoshan, but as the main general Dong Jian selected, I heard that several large anti-thieves are active in Datong and Taiyuan, Dong Jian did not say a word, waved his troops directly to Taiyuan.
When he first entered the Jin Dynasty, the imperial court gave the soldiers of the Sichuan Department an order to guard Pingyang and Fenzhou and wait for the opportunity to move, which left Dong Jian with a lot of room for imagination. Taiyuan is the capital of Shanxi, prosperous, rich, has always been good at managing the Jin merchants rich rival the country, I heard that they are full of grain and gold and silver warehouses, all of them are fat and oily, war, there are many opportunities to make money, Dong Jian did not say a word, he pointed the spearhead at Taiyuan.
It's just free time. Taiyuan is also so enjoyable.
On the fifth day of entering Shanxi, that is, in late December, that is, on December 22, Lu Haoshan led his troops to a place called Dafu Village. Because of the sky, I made a short stop in Dafu Village.
Dafu Village is a village under Wenxi County, Pingyang Prefecture, Shanxi Province, although Wenxi is a small place, but it is famous in history. There is a branch of the century-old famous family Hedong Fei's Wenxi Fei's, and there are many celebrities, such as Pei Xiu, the father of the map of the Wei and Jin dynasties. Tang has Zhongxing Xian Xiang Pei Du, Song has anti-Jin Ming Xiang Zhao Ding, etc., there are still Tang Xuanzong's book imperial tablet and Han Yu written in the territory, it can be said that it is a good place for cultural prosperity and outstanding people.
It's a pity that this qiē has nothing to do with Dafu Village, and the people of Dafu Village can't get the light when they hear the prosperous humanistic atmosphere, and there are a few days before the New Year, which is the most important festival for Chinese people, but here they can't feel the lively and festive atmosphere of the New Year, and the whole village exudes only sadness, pain, and numbness.
Because just a few days ago, this place was sacked by a peasant rebel army called the King of Troubled Times.
After a simple dinner, it was not dark yet, Lu Haoshan took a group of henchmen to wander around Dafu Village, the sun was about to set, hundreds of households, but Lu Haoshan found that the chimney was smoking less than a third, and it was not dark yet, but the family closed the door early, and many houses on the side of the road were dark and dark, silent, and looked a bit like a ghost village.
It is indeed very similar to a ghost village, a village of thousands of people, it seems that there is no sound at all when it is dark, there are a lot of paper treasure candles scattered on the ground to commemorate the dead, it is almost the New Year, but many people in the village still have white silk hanging at the door of their homes, and a few deliberately suppressed cries come out from time to time in the dark, this cry is like a whimper from hell, the cold wind blows, and the scattered "paper treasures" on the ground dance with the wind, if it is not for how bold people are, Lu Haoshan is a little afraid.
Lu Haoshan noticed that behind the crack in the door, there were many curious and fearful eyes, which were the people of Dafu Village secretly looking at his group
Dashan said with some distraction: "These people are really unsympathetic, we have traveled thousands of miles to help them quell the mob, one by one to prevent us from being thieves, and we are not invited to rest when passing by, just now when we camped, I wanted to borrow a few planks from the people's homes, but I didn't expect them to slam the door tightly before they spoke, and they shouldn't knock on the door, it was really kind to be treated as a donkey's liver and lungs." ”
As soon as I thought of the scene of rejection, there was anger in the belly of the mountain, he was born in the Qiang people, in the customs of the Qiang people, he should be kind to passers-by, if there are guests passing by the Qiang village, they will also take out delicious and delicious hospitality, and eat "closed door" here, which makes him feel uncomfortable.
Tang Qiang was well-informed, shook his head when he heard the words, and said: "There is an old saying that a thief is like a comb and a soldier is like a grate, and some soldiers do more than a thief. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was silent, this is a fact, the imperial court's tax revenue is limited, the treasury cannot make ends meet, arrears of military salaries have become the norm, not every general is like Lu Haoshan has a way to get money and food, so that his subordinates can eat and drink, what to do if they have no money and hunger, that is, soldiers and thieves do not distinguish, attack the people, rob the people unscrupulously, take whatever they see, and if they resist, their heads are cut off by those people and used to pretend to be the leader of the thieves.
This is no secret in the army, and famous generals like Zuo Liangyu have also done this kind of thing, and more than once
Li Dingguo, who was in charge of inquiring about the news, said in a low voice: "Three days ago, the people known as the king of troubled times ransacked here with hundreds of mobs, these people scourged the village all night, gold, silver, grain, and livestock were all snatched, and they were killed if they resisted a little, and several of them also joined the king of troubled times, and killed his opponent before leaving, I heard that hundreds of people died before and after, including more than 20 women, some were killed after the disaster, and many were hanged by themselves, alas, it was too miserable. ”
Rebellion, that is to push yourself to a dead end, today do not know what will happen tomorrow, every moment of life in the shadow of death, under the huge pressure, the spirit is highly tense, those who rebel can not bear the huge psychological pressure, will do some abnormal things, such as murderous, irritable, unreasonable, many people will also "have fun in time", those big officials hide behind the high city wall, can only take the people who are more pitiful than themselves out of anger, see beautiful women and refuse to let go.
Without legal sanctions and moral constraints, many people's psychology is distorted.
They are like tinder, spreading hope everywhere; They are like locusts, which are spared wherever they pass; They are like calamities, spreading despair everywhere.
"Ah, this, what is this?" While talking, everyone came to a fairly spacious house, this house from the layout of the four in and out, is a big house, blue bricks, red tiles and white walls, than those ordinary houses are obviously more than one grade, but in the dim light, everyone saw that the wall was full of bloodstains, faintly there was a smell of blood, in the dusk to see a little scary, a little bold Sun Xiong was frightened and screamed.
"What are you calling nonsense, it's really a long man who doesn't have guts" Lu Haoshan knocked him on the brain, and said with some dissatisfaction.
So many people are still afraid, but they still lose his size.
Dashan was surprised and said, "This, what's going on?" ”
Li Dingguo, who was in charge of inquiring about the news, said in a low voice: "I have inquired, this family's surname is Pei, it is said that he is a descendant of the famous Pei family, a squire of Dafu Village, and the richest person within a radius of ten miles, but three days ago, their entire family was killed by the King of the Troubled Times." ”
As soon as the words of "kill well" fell, Sun Xiong said loudly: "These landlords should be killed." ”
As the son of a blacksmith, Sun Xiong's family can be said to have a miserable life, first farming, the harvest is getting worse year by year, but the rent is increasing unabated, borrowing a little money, Li Luoli even wrapped in the ancestral two acres of thin fields, really can't plant the land, operate the ancestral craft, but also exploited by the squire, until he joined the picket, the life of the whole family has been improved, but he does not have much good impression of the landlord squire.
Hearing that the big landowner had been killed, he shouted with joy and cheered.
"Brother Sun, you are wrong" Li Dingguo shook his head and said: "Although this Squire Pei is rich and powerful, he does not bully others, treats tenants well, and also has a lot of help to the poor people around, not only took the initiative to reduce rent in the famine years, but also opened porridge sheds from time to time to give porridge, I don't know how many lives have been saved, he is a famous good man in ten miles and eight towns, but as soon as the king of troubled times came, he robbed them all without saying anything, not only robbed all his things, but also took a fancy to Squire Pei's concubine and his three daughters. FIRST PRETENDED TO AGREE, LET THE THREE DAUGHTERS DRESS UP, DECEIVED THE TRUST OF THE KING OF TROUBLED TIMES, AND THEN FOUND AN OPPORTUNITY TO KILL ALL THREE DAUGHTERS WITH HIS OWN HANDS, EVEN IF THEY DIED, THEY WOULD NOT BE HUMILIATED, AND FINALLY PICKED UP A KNIFE AND FOUGHT HARD WITH THE KING OF TROUBLED TIMES, BUT WHICH WAS THE OPPONENT OF THOSE PEOPLE, AND THE KING OF TROUBLED TIMES ORDERED THE CORPSE OF HIS THREE DAUGHTERS JIAN IN FRONT OF THE OLD MAN PEI, AND ALSO NAILED THEIR FAMILY OF SEVENTEEN, INCLUDING WOMEN AND CHILDREN, TO THIS WALL, THIS IS HOW THIS BLOOD CAME. ”
After listening to Li Dingguo, Sun Xiong, who was still talking about it just now, was silent, not only was he silent, but everyone present was silent (to be continued......
