Chapter 15: The Roar of the People (II)
The three of them, Wu Yanzi, Mizi and Tie Niu, went to the Xishan Annex the next day.
After all, it is to pull people to rebel, and if you don't have some preparation, you can't do it. They had to anticipate Wang Er's reaction, especially after rejecting them. In fact, the three of them also secretly put a kitchen knife in their arms, if Wang Er didn't agree, they planned to kill people and kill their mouths, saving themselves from these man-made things, which were leaked out by Wang Er, and then the whole village would really be finished.
It's just that before they entered the Xishan Annex, they were stopped by more than a dozen soldiers who were ambushed in the mountain road. A search of the body, the result is that the three bright kitchen knives are naturally nowhere to hide. Carrying the murderer up the mountain, even if he claims to have no malice and didn't kill him on the spot, it's already good, how generous can you expect?
Needless to say, the three of them were tied to the annex like this, and at this time, Zhang Hongbin's face was wrapped in a bandage, and he sat on the main seat and watched them.
As for Wang Er, he served by his side.
"Why are the three people from Shimoda Village interested in coming to my annex?" Zhang Hongbin pretended not to know and asked casually.
"This ......" The three of them had a draft before they came, but the shape changed too quickly, and they didn't know what to say, so they couldn't tell the truth, right?
"Okay, I'll guess for myself...... What is there on my side that you have taken a fancy to and are planning to come here to make money and kill you? Don't deny it, even if I send you to the government immediately, the fact that you went up the mountain with three kitchen knives for no reason is on my side! Zhang Hongbin said casually.
The three of them were suddenly covered in cold sweat, if they really went to the official mansion, not to mention anything else, after a torture, no one could guarantee that the people around them would not tell the truth. The rebellion is a matter of the Nine Clans, and if someone really confesses, he will not be able to survive even if he is afraid. The worst thing is that I am afraid that it will affect my family.
"Why, there's no one who has a hard point?" Zhang Hongbin asked a little impatiently.
"I said, we are from Shimoda Village, and this year the imperial court wants us to pay last year's and this year's taxes, and we have no money to pay them, so we plan to rebel. The idea is what I thought, and I called on the manpower, but now everyone has no intention of acting, so even if it is reported to the government, the government may not take it seriously! I really have to settle accounts, my Tie Niu has no relatives and no reason in Xiatian Village, even if I punish the Nine Clans, I can't harm others, and if there is something, it's mine! Tie Niu immediately stood up.
As for the five men and the rice, they refused to come out, and they seemed to be a little happy that Tie Niu had the courage to take all the responsibilities on his body.
"Okay, I see, you people in Shimoda Village are going to rebel. Very good, in fact, I am also planning to rebel, do you want to form a team? Zhang Hongbin smiled.
The three of them were stunned, no one would have thought that in the mouth of Zhang Hongbin, the third young master of Zhang, they would hear such deviant words.
"But before that...... Come on, pull the other two down! Zhang Hongbin turned around and shouted.
The family had already understood, and immediately pulled the rice and the five men down. As for where to go, no one knows, anyway, there will soon be no more of these two people in the world.
"This is ......" Tie Niu really couldn't figure it out.
"I still can't turn my head...... Let's tell you the truth, since you plan to rebel, you can't do anything if you don't have the guts. You look at the two behind you, you don't dare to take responsibility for something, and you gloat when you take responsibility. If such a person is a teammate, God knows when it will not go well, they will stand up and betray you and me. Zhang Hongbin casually gave an answer.
In fact, he already knew that the five men were a seed. A person who is a seed and has a strong impulse to rebel does not dare to stand up at a critical juncture, but is happy that the person is carrying the black pot, this kind of person cannot be trusted.
Rebellion is a major discipline, and one of the main points is to minimize the risk of an uprising. The person of Wu Yanzi made Zhang Hongbin feel that the risk of saving zĂ i, in order to reduce the risk, so he had to die.
Wang Er also knows the inside story, and he knows the answer given by Zhang Hongbin, so he doesn't comment on anything.
"You don't even know who the five men and the rice are like, why are you so sure they will do that?" Tie Niu expressed dissatisfaction.
"Will it be, who cares about this? The point is, in order to ensure the safety and integrity of the uprising, do you think I will allow instability to be around? In all dynasties, the main reason why the peasant uprising failed was that the secrecy work was not done well enough, so that the imperial court knew about the rebellion, and finally had to revolt in advance, so that many preparations could not be put in place, and they were congenitally weak. Zhang Hongbin was speechless at Tie Niu's straightforwardness, but he still said to him patiently.
Tie Niu is straightforward, but he is not a fool, but he still can't accept it, and he kills others just because of suspicion.
"Okay, let's get down to business, you guys want to make opposition in Shimoda Village, right?" Zhang Hongbin didn't plan to let Tie Niu continue to ask.
"Yes, the villagers need a leader, let's think about it, and the second brother Wang in Baishui County is the most qualified to lead us!" Iron Bull replied truthfully.
The reason why this is so is mainly because I believe that the person in front of me really intends to rebel, or that he has no choice at this moment.
"I brought the knife because I was worried that Wang Er would not agree, and it would be convenient to threaten him when the time came, or kill him to kill him?" Zhang Hongbin raised his eyebrows.
"That's true...... He is worried that the matter will be exposed and affect our major affairs. Iron Bull immediately became embarrassed.
Immediately, I seemed to feel that this scene was very familiar, and after thinking about it, I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, it turned out that Zhang Hongbin killed people, which was also the reason.
"You can go back, just tell those who want to rebel, Wang Er agrees to your request, come to the Xishan Annex and wait before noon tomorrow. As for the rest, it's better not to say it, otherwise I don't mind letting everyone in Shimoda Village die! Zhang Hongbin gave a reply, and even threatened in the end.
"The little one understands!" Iron Bull knew he had to understand that he had no choice.
"Also, since you elected Wang Er as the eldest brother, then the younger brother must listen to the eldest brother, if you betray according to the rules of the rivers and lakes, you will be punished with three knives and six holes, but on my side, you will be punished with your whole village, you better sue them when you go back, and if you don't plan to obey the order, it is better to be his peasant!" Zhang Hongbin saw that Tie Niu was leaving, and finally told him a thing to pay attention to.
"Okay, the little one must be notified in place!" Iron Bull was sweating profusely, and then quickly left.
"Send two people, keep an eye on this guy, if there is any trouble, kill him directly!" Zhang Hongbin turned around and said something to Wang Er, and then returned to the house.
On this day, it was not only the people of Shimoda Village who came to visit, but also people from three or four villages who came to discuss the same thing. Interestingly, everyone elected Wang Er to be the leading brother, which shows that he is still quite prestigious in Baishui County.
After a simple Liwei, the delegates were let go, some of them went back whole, and some of them were dead or two. But the result is one, that is, tomorrow at noon, we will meet here at the West Mountain Annex.
By noon the next day, more than 300 people had come here one after another, all of whom were young and strong people from various villages. A quarter of an hour later, about 500 women, young and old, followed them.
And at this time, the Xishan Annex was already shrouded in flames, and they watched Wang Er set fire to them.
"Remember, the third young master, Zhang Hongbin, has been burned to death by the rebellious Wang Er and his leading eldest brother! From now on, my name will be called Salvation, and you will only call me in the future, and you can only call me Young Master or Redemption, and if there is a title that should not appear, I will let you know whether it is the board that is hard, or your ass is harder! Zhang Hongbin still brought Wang Er and others to these villagers and announced loudly.
Everyone remained silent, no one expected that it was Wang Er who took the lead, but in the end, it was the third young master Zhang Hongbin who took the lead. "Got it?" Zhang Hongbin yelled.
Maybe it was because the bandaged face was so terrifying, and many people immediately responded. Zhang Hongbin was dissatisfied, and roared again, and everyone's voices were much neater at this time.
"Since you are going to rebel and intend to accept the leadership of others, even if this person who leads you is not the most ideal in your hearts, but I must tell you, if you are not satisfied, you can leave now, if you dare to disobey my orders in the future, I will make you look good!" Zhang Hongbin said viciously.
Everyone didn't go, in fact, since they have already taken this step, they don't plan to go.
"Okay, come on, bring them food!" Zhang Hongbin saw that everyone had no intention of objecting, so he immediately turned around and ordered.
After a while, the meal that had been prepared long ago was served, and everyone was given a bowl. It's a bowl of rice, the rice is the legendary tribute rice, and there is also a very fat piece of braised pork, and of course some pickles. For the common people, this is something that can only be eaten during the Chinese New Year.
"If you want to rebel, you may die at some point. It is said that it is better to be a full ghost than to be a hungry ghost, and before leaving, let everyone have a good meal! Zhang Hongbin said to everyone with a smile.
Everyone thinks it makes sense, and besides, it is difficult to resist the aroma of the rice and the aroma of the meat, so it doesn't take long to gobble it up.
"Okay, everyone has eaten, then I will also start to make certain arrangements for everyone's situation. The old and weak women and children immediately followed the guide I sent to the secret base and settled down, and let you fight is a complete joke. As for the rest of the young men, go get your weapons at once, and then go with us! Zhang Hongbin decisively ordered.
There is nothing against it, and in fact, everyone knows that there is no possibility of opposition to it.
Hundreds of family soldiers had unconsciously appeared around, and their fierceness and the weapons in their hands made everyone shudder. They knew that if they really dared to oppose anything, then this was their burial place.
For Zhang Hongbin, everyone is still somewhat resistant, but at this moment, everyone is at least well-behaved.
Zhang Hongbin also knew that his predecessor's reputation was a little worse, and now he can only find a way to accumulate his prestige and majesty step by step.
About half an hour later, truckloads of grain were transported to Baishui County. The reason is simple, this is to pay taxes. The officials at the city gate also checked it, and sure enough, it was all grain, so they were directly released.
The convoy came to the county government without danger, and according to the instructions of the government officer, the convoy was supposed to go towards the granary of Baishui County.
But I didn't want to be at this time, the people in the convoy suddenly broke out, pulled out a spear or a simple knife under the rice bag, and gave the official a result in three or two strokes.
"Success or failure in this move, whatever I want!" Wang Eryi took the lead and took the lead in killing the county office.
