History portrays the peasant uprising at the end of the Ming Dynasty as picturesque, but in fact it is biased, downplaying its bad influence and expanding its positive image.

The Ming Dynasty lost the battle with the Houjin, among which the peasant rebel army "made great contributions", stabbed the knife in the joints, swayed and looted, which made the Ming Dynasty's originally stretched finances even worse, in order to quell the chaos, it really consumed a lot of energy of the Ming Dynasty, and the external troubles have not been eliminated is a lot of internal friction, and finally the Houjin was cheaper, and the Houjin Banner soldiers were only more than 100,000 recruited, but it could enter the Central Plains with a population of 10,000, in fact, even they themselves could not believe it.

These are the major influences, the second is that these peasant uprisings are also very general, they have no outline, no plan, they just can't live, they have to eat, they have to vent, so they go to grab wherever they go, whether it is the landlord and the squire or the ordinary people, they will rob whatever they see, the bad ones, the good ones, the rich ones and the poor ones, those leaders can't give their subordinates security and can't pay them, the discipline is loose and can be imagined, and in the absence of laws to restrain them, they can do anything.

It's a bit like cattle and sheep moving from grass to grass, they can grab wherever they go, and they will harm wherever they go.

As a result, many people suffered.

The Squire Pei's family in front of him is an example, what kind of troubled king, even if he is dead, he will not let go of the dead, and he has to be in front of his father, that behavior is simply a beast.

Hearing Li Dingguo say this, Sun Xiong hesitated for a moment, and said a little unconvinced: "Who told him to give so much money to others, what is this called, the tree is a big wind." ”

This is a naked hatred of the rich.

Lu Haoshan shook his head and said, "Sun Xiong, it's not right for you kid to think like this. ”

"Isn't that right? Why, my lord? Sun Xiong said a little strangely.

"Others don't steal, kidnap or cheat, it's all their hard-earned money. Why give it to others? Your father is a blacksmith, and if you work all day and night to earn some money, and give it to the beggars who sit in front of your shop all day in the sun and have nothing to do, will you be happy? If the rich have money to give to the poor, then who wants to strive to be rich? Lu Haoshan said with a straight face: "He is richer than you, which means that he is better than you, we should learn from his excellent side, instead of being jealous of him and blushing at him, of course." It also depends on how he got his money, if he is honest and bright, and he earns it with his own wisdom and hard work, we should respect it, and if the money is obtained by exploiting the people and doing some illegal things, then we will despise him. ”

After a pause, Lu Haoshan said leisurely: "Even if you kill all the rich, it is impossible to turn everyone into a rich person." ”

As soon as this sentence came out, everyone present fell silent. Many people are savoring the meaningful words of landing Haoshan.

After half a ring, Sun Xiong said with some shame: "Yes, adult, the little one seems to understand." ”

Lu Haoshan breathed a long sigh of relief. casually asked, "Oh, then what do you understand?" ”

"The family is good people."

"Cough" Lu Haoshan was almost amused by him, chatting with this guy with developed limbs and a simple mind is really nerve-wracking, this is the legendary people's wisdom has not been opened. Hearing this, he patted him on the shoulder with a wry smile, and no longer made a sound, turned his head and asked Li Dingguo: "Dingguo." What happened to the family? Does anyone take care of it? ”

Li Dingguo nodded and said: "The next day, the people of ten miles and eight towns saw them off, and the paper treasures all over the ground were sent off for them. ”

Lu Haoshan sighed, looked at the mottled blood stains on the wall, his heart was also a little heavy, and he turned his head and said to his subordinates: "Okay, let's go back to the station, after going back, restrain the soldiers under him, don't disturb the people, and those who violate the order will be beheaded!" ”

Everyone turned pale and said in unison, "Yes, my lord." ”

Just when everyone was about to leave, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves in the distance, Lu Haoshan turned his head to look, and saw a healthy horse galloping towards here in the twilight, the speed was very fast, but the center of gravity of the horse rider was very low, riding on the horse, as if the horse's head was higher than the human head, but as soon as he saw the posture of riding the horse, Lu Haoshan knew that Zhao Gongchang, who was in charge of exploring the way, was back.

Zhao Gong is often a scout, especially proficient in pathfinding, inquire about the enemy's whereabouts, in order to prevent someone from shooting cold arrows, when riding a horse, he will subconsciously lower the center of gravity, the whole person lying on the horse, sometimes sticking to the side of the horse's belly, seems very cautious.

"Hissing" The horse stopped about two zhang away from Lu Haoshan, Zhao Gongchang turned over and jumped off the horse, walked two steps quickly to Lu Haoshan, and said while saluting: "My lord, the small request is not to send information to Commander Dong again." ”

Say this as soon as you meet?

Lu Haoshan suddenly found that Zhao Gongchang's face was a little wrong, and after a closer look, he saw that the left side of his face was swollen with a large piece, and the five fingerprints were still faintly visible, so he couldn't help but sink his face and asked loudly: "Captain Zhao, what's wrong with your face?" Which one did it? ”

"In addition to the one surnamed Dong, which one else?" Zhao Gongchang said with a disgruntled face.

Lu Haoshan also vaguely guessed that it had something to do with Dong Jian, in fact, except for him, no one had the courage to do so, so he endured the unhappiness in his heart and asked in a deep voice: "Tell me what's going on." ”

After Zhao Gongchang explained, Lu Haoshan understood that this matter was still related to himself, although the two divided the troops, but Lu Haoshan was afraid that it would not be easy to explain to Han Wendeng, so he still sent someone to investigate and explore the intelligence and send it to Dong Jian, Dong Jian made a contribution before entering Shanxi, and after entering Shanxi, he defeated two small groups of mobs, which can be said to be ambitious, but Lu Haoshan took the initiative to provide him with information and made him very unhappy, he felt that Lu Haoshan wanted to share his credit, and secondly, he was afraid that others would say that he could not do without this little thousand households, Lu Haoshan took the initiative to show goodwill, But Dong Jian was extremely disgusted, so when Zhao Gongchang sent the information again, he slapped Zhao Gongchang in the face, saying that he had no military law.

He also threatened to meddle in his own affairs, and he would wait for him with a military stick.

is kind to be treated as a donkey's liver and lungs, no wonder Zhao Gongchang is full of resentment.

This hit Zhao Gongchang in the face, in fact, it hit Lu Haoshan's face, they all said that it depends on the owner to beat the dog, and the face of the Buddha is not to look at the monk's face, this kind of person is really snobbish, and the old brother Lu in front of him called Brother Lu well, but in a blink of an eye, the six relatives did not recognize it, and Lu Haoshan couldn't wait to shoot the nasty gentleman to death with one arrow.

Okay, benevolence and righteousness, anyway, I have done a lot of courtesy, you don't want me to help, I'm really too lazy to pay attention to it, I defeated the two unpopular mobs and thought that I was invincible in the world, no, those who should be said to be hungry people, if you meet Zijinliang, Chuang Wang, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and other outlaws, there is a time for you to cry.

Lu Haoshan picked up Zhao Gongchang with both hands and said: "Captain Zhao, you have been wronged for this kind of thing, since Commander Dong does not appreciate it, then let him do it, if you don't send it in the future, you won't send it." ”

"Master Xie" Zhao Gongchang was overjoyed, and finally he no longer had to face that gentleman with low eyes and high self-esteem.

"Come, let's buy a few sheep on the way, and let's go back and eat roast mutton together." Lu Haoshan said to Zhao Gongchang with a smile: "It's almost the New Year, and you have to improve your food, and then you will have a big sheep's foot." ”

"Master Xie"

Lu Haoshan was still outside Wenxi County in Pingyang Prefecture, and at this time, Dong Jian, who had been advancing all the way, had already led his troops into Fenzhou.

The place under the jurisdiction of Fenzhou is not large, only the West River, Xiaoyi, Jiexiu, Lingshi, Pingyao five counties, the place is not big but the location is very important, there are two palaces in Fenzhou City, one is called Qingcheng Palace, one is called Yonghe Palace, the first owner of these two palaces is called Zhu Jixuan and Zhu Ji Huoliang, they are the fourth and sixth sons of King Jin Gong, and Zhu Mugang, King of Jin Gong is the third son of Zhu Yuanzhang, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, that is the royal blood of Zheng'er Bajing, After Zhu Yuanzhang obtained the world, his children and grandchildren enjoyed the glory and wealth in various parts of the Ming Empire, the world is so big, and it is very rare to build two palaces in a city at the same time.

It can also be seen from here that Fenzhou has a high status in the Sanjin Dynasty.

Xiaoyi County is located in the northwest of Fenzhou, originally called Yongan County, but Tang Taizong Li Shimin took the name of the county and the name of Fuzhou County the same, changed to Xiaoyi County during the Zhenguan period, speaking of this name, it is also related to a person in the county, because there is a big filial son of Guo Xing in the county, and the story of filial piety to his parents has reached Li Shimin's ears, in order to commend his deeds, the name of the county was changed to Xiaoyi County.

At the time of the most prosperity, Xiaoyi County had more than 10,000 households and a population of more than 100,000, but the war situation at the end of the Ming Dynasty was turbulent, and the people were displaced, and now there are less than 8,000 households.

After some people were robbed, there was no way to live, and they were forced to join the ranks of the mob, and went to rob others, it was almost the New Year, many people were sad, and the people were looking forward to and afraid of the army of the imperial court, hoping that they would come and drive the mob away, and they were afraid that the wolf would follow the tiger after the wolf, and they really couldn't stand the toss.

However, the people of Xiaoyi County are lucky, they are looking forward to the army of Sichuan to encircle and suppress the mob, these troops look good, although they are a little domineering, but at least the officials did not plunder, and the big officials were willing to take the money out to buy cattle and sheep.

It is Dong Jian and his elite soldiers.

Piles of bonfires are burning, under the scorching fire, the fat sheep on the shelf make a sizzling sound, from time to time a few drops of oil drop on the fire, roast the whole sheep around the fire in the cold weather, there is nothing happier than this, if there is still a woman like a flower in his arms, it will be even happier, Lizhou Wei commander Dong Jian is such a happy person, in the compliments of his subordinates, while drinking while holding the beauty, from time to time he is happy to laugh.

It's a winner in life. (To be continued......)
