Chapter 20: All of them were cut down

Killing good and risking merit is really not an uncommon thing in the late Ming Dynasty. Zuo Liangyu, a general at the end of the Ming Dynasty, is a typical representative, who completely saw through the status quo at the end of the Ming Dynasty, decisively supported the army and respected himself, or his subordinate corporals and soldiers could fight, but in his eyes, it was also commonplace.

The army of the guard station set out on the expedition, and at the beginning it was in the spirit of going to Baishui County to make a fortune, which was the motivation. Otherwise, let alone attacking Baishui County, I am afraid that the thieves will turn Baishui County into a scorched land, and they may not be able to open up to the territory of Baishui County.

Now that Baishui County has returned to the hands of Daming one step ahead of them, it is obviously untrue to use the pretext of suppressing bandits to go to Baishui County to make a profit. But if you send troops this time, you won't gain anything at all, and you are embarrassed to explain to the people above, so it is natural to kill a few villagers and pretend to be thieves as merits. The most important thing is that since they have opened up, they naturally have to have some extra income, otherwise it will not be justified.

Therefore, Qingxi Village, which was originally known for being obedient to the people and refused to be a thief, now does not know that it has suffered a military disaster.

The people are still ploughing the ground, and they want to turn over the land before winter comes, so that the cold of winter will freeze the eggs of the insects in the heaven and earth to death.

They have already paid the taxes, there is a clear stream in Qingxi Village, the fish, shrimp and crabs here can be more or less hungry, plus the wild vegetables and prey in the mountains, it is not a problem to make do with it for a year. As for next year's spring payment, since there is a rebellion in Baishui County, I think in order to appease the locality, next year's tax should be reduced, right?

Even if it is an ethereal extravagant hope, the people of Qingxi Village just want to be a submissive citizen.

There are about 50 young people in the village, and there are more than 20 young women. The youngest was no more than eight years old, and the oldest was no more than thirty years old. There are not many old people left, and in such a disaster year, the elderly often choose to go into the mountains, so as not to be a burden to their families. In this situation, the villagers have no choice but to do nothing, after all, the food problem is indeed very tense.

It is said that farmers have three treasures: close to the land, ugly wife and torn cotton jacket.

Closer to the ground, you can do more work, so as to ensure that more food can be harvested; Although the torn cotton jacket is broken, it can keep out the cold, and for the people who do not cover their bodies, it is already very good to have a torn cotton jacket to wear; As for the ugly wife, it is easier to understand, not to mention that the ugly wife is easy to marry, but it is not easy to be remembered if it is kept at home, especially the powerful, once they intervene, they have no room for resistance. Rather than having a wife cheaper than others, it is better not to be a beautiful woman in the first place.

The Three Treasures of Farmers can be said to be the sorrow of the people and the helplessness of the people.

And Qingxi Village is a bit bad, among the more than 20 young women, at least more than a dozen are a little beautiful, that is, they are not the so-called ugly wives. Even one or two of them, the posture is okay, and they can barely enter the upper middle level. Regardless of whether they are married or not, I am afraid that it will be difficult for their families to live in peace.

I was already living a trembling life, but I didn't want to go out to farm today, but an army of the Ming Dynasty broke into the village.

I thought that since it was the army of the Ming Dynasty, the most I would do was to extort some money and food. The wives and children had already let them into the house as soon as possible and did not go out, and the military masters were received by the new village chief.

However, unexpectedly, these military masters didn't say a word, picked up the weapons in their hands, and began to attack them.

They were not given any psychological preparation, but when the villagers were all gathered, the massacre began. Within a few moments, the men were all killed.

They may not understand that they are first-class good citizens, even if all the people in Baishui County are opposed, why the good people village who gritted their teeth and refused to rebel would suffer such a tribulation. Why, the Ming army, which clearly protects itself, will attack the people under its own rule?!

Why, the way of heaven is so unfair!!

They resent, they hate, they are indignant, but all their feelings can only be left to the underworld and the king of Yama to confide.

The rest of the time, it was easy to do as soon as it was done, and the soldiers searched from house to house, finding out all the beauties and sending them to the officers. Although they also covet these beauties, they understand that the more beautiful the woman, the more she must be handed over to the officer, and if you are lucky, you can enter the sequence of family soldiers, and your life will be better. As for the few who have poor posture, it will become their public toy.

Yes, the kind that you lose if you play it, no one will want to marry a woman marked with the 'used' mark like this home, and it can't be a concubine.

"Very good, sure enough, there are a few good ...... These three will be mine, and you will divide the rest among yourselves!" The commander looked at the three good-looking women with satisfaction, and said to several officers beside him.

Even if all the officers are unhappy, they have to be sycophants at the moment, and then they can't wait to divide the women.

The remaining six were lost to the guards of nearly 1,000 people......

As long as the food is found, it is taken away; As long as everything of value is found, it is taken away; No matter how shabby it is, as long as it can be used for money, it will be taken away unceremoniously. Even if the officers don't look down on it, those military households who are even more miserable than the tenants need these things.

In fact, in many places, military households, and the whole family even share a pair of pants.

After the search was completed, a fire burned Qingxi Village, for the simple reason that this was a good thing done by the anti-thieves. And the royal division of the imperial court fought with the thieves here for 300 rounds, beheaded more than 50 people, and killed the army of thieves and robbers, as evidenced by the head.

This kind of place smelled of blood, and it was also a place that was about to be burned, and the commander naturally would not live, so the army continued to march, and marched fifty miles to a hilly area, and then set up camp.

The commander and the hundreds of households below can't wait to talk about feelings with these 'trophies'!

Fourteen women, three of whom were not more than fifteen years old, were all asked for by the commanding envoys. This age also proves one thing, that is, these girls may still be in the boudoir, waiting to grow up and find a wishful husband...... What a beautiful yellow flower girl!

"Haha, not bad, good, all the posture is very good, obediently be a maid for this master, maybe the lord and I are in a good mood, and I will promote you as a concubine!" The conductor pulled the three poor women who were tied up, and Y said to them with a smile.

The three of them were staring at the commander at the moment, if their eyes could kill, the commander would have turned into a pile of scum at this moment. They don't yet fully understand what hatred means, but they do understand what it feels like.

"Come on!" The conductor is not afraid of their eyes at all, on the contrary, this kind of affection seems to be a seasoning, which makes people even more interesting.

He pulled the youngest one by himself, and he wanted to use the most cruel play to make these women understand that only obedience could make life more comfortable.

But he didn't want to take off his clothes just now, but Ding Bing hurriedly walked in, and he stumbled, as if something bad had happened.

"What's crazy? Don't you see me interrogating a prisoner? The commander shouted.

"My lord, there are thieves attacking the camp outside!" Where did the family Ding Bing dare to delay, and told the situation outside as soon as possible.

But I didn't want to, but at this time, something flew in from outside the tent, but it was another soldier. However, there was a deep knife mark on the soldier's body, and the person was obviously unable to live. At the same time, a large masked man walked in.

"Unexpectedly, I found a big fish!" The masked man laughed.

"Who are you?" Even if he was very afraid, the commander had to pretend to be calm.

"The name of the general is Shura, when you get down, remember to talk to the king of Yama!" Wang Er said coldly and raised the big knife in his hand.

There was a snort, but it was the soldiers of the family who blocked the knife for the commander, and the whole head flew out.

The bloody and unsightly heads of the soldiers frightened the three girls, but at the moment they had nothing to do but scream and curl up in a ball.

"Unexpectedly, your family is also very loyal?" Wang Er shouted bad luck, and then stepped forward and raised the Pu knife in his hand.

"Don't kill me!" The commander had no intention of taking the opportunity to resist at all, he was already scared out of his and urine at the moment.

"Bai Lang wastes our rice and food to feed you waste!" When Wang Er saw this, he hated it even more, and he went down with a knife.

"Alright, let's go!" A knife cut the rope of the three girls, and Wang Er said casually.

"We have long since lost our home, and I hope that the general will take it in, and we will also join the gang!" The fifteen-year-old woman at the head knelt down with the women on both sides.

"Why, the villagers of Qingxi Village, who swore to be obedient to the people for the rest of their lives, will also rebel?" Wang Er asked with interest.

"Don't talk about the previous things, I have already seen the face of the government, and I have no love for the government since then!" The woman at the head knelt down.

"Pick up their weapons and go out with me!" Wang Er couldn't make up his mind, so he just let them follow, and the young master would decide the rest.

When he came to the middle of the camp, the battle was over at this moment, and these guards who had strict night blindness and did not know how to fight at night at all were demoralized under the triple fire of the strong crossbow, and then charged with guns, and packed up a lot of domestic soldiers. In the end, the rest was a complete collapse.

Seeing that the guards were so vulnerable, even if they were peasant soldiers who had just joined, they were full of confidence.

However, most of the peasant soldiers still lacked combat awareness, and after a battle, more than 400 guards were eliminated, more than 300 were captured, and the rest were fled. On his side, he also lost more than 50 peasant soldiers and wounded more than 100.

"Training, these guys don't train well, even I'm embarrassed to send them to battle!" Zhang Hongbin expressed great dissatisfaction.

Obviously, a perfect ambush and night attack, there is still such a battle damage!

"The king, more than 300 guards have been captured, what should I do?" Ling He asked cautiously.

According to what he meant, these 300 soldiers are all regular soldiers, and as long as they are supplemented and trained, they will be able to exert their combat effectiveness.

"Kill them all, I want the world to know what will happen to the army that dares to attack its own people! In the future, such an army, no matter how many captures, will be killed by me, I don't want such prisoners, keep them or, it is disrespectful to the dead! Zhang Hongbin yelled.

"In this case, the king, it will strengthen our determination to fight to the death!" Ling He shouted.

"I've made up my mind, I'm going to fight, I don't believe that such an army can defeat my righteous army!" Zhang Hongbin drank.

After all, Ling He had just taken refuge, and he didn't dare to continue to refute anything. Since his own king doesn't listen, he can only give up, but he is even more disdainful of this anti-thief called salvation: obviously an anti-thief, what kind of decency is he pretending?

Whether it was wailing or begging for mercy, the next day there was not a single soldier in the barracks who was alive.

The heads were piled together, and a wooden board was attached, and it was written: Whoever kills the good and riskes the merits, and harms the people, die! If the heavens do not punish it, I will punish it on my behalf!!
