Chapter 506: Bazhou Beacon Fire
On the eve of the storm in Beijing.
Bazhou.
Tang Zihe and Zhang Mao's two teams of more than 5,000 people combined into one force, lurking outside Bazhou City in the dark night.
Bazhou is just a small city, ten miles away from the city, there are Bazhou guards, but there are only more than 100 soldiers of the inspection department and dozens of officials of the prefect's yamen in the city, of course, the more than 100 so-called "co-arrests" under the Liu brothers can also be regarded as the defense strength of Bazhou City, but it is a pity that more than 100 people were chopped up by Tang Zihe's order.
When the time, there was silence inside and outside the city, the city gate had long been closed, dozens of soldiers at the head of the city held the ash spear and leaned on the arrow stacks to doze off, Bazhou is very close to the Beijing Division, it can be said that the morning is coming, although it is in the important position of the southern barrier of the Beijing Division, but in addition to the civil engineering change after the Wara tribe waved the army to the Beijing Division under the city, for many years few foreign enemies can hit here, the inspection division of the Taiping grain has eaten for a long time, it is inevitable to slack.
Hundreds of people took advantage of the dark night to touch the root of the city wall, and Zhang Mao stood outside the city gate and called the door by himself.
Because Zhang Zhong is a sworn brother with the eunuch Zhang Zhong of Bazhou Town, the soldiers of the Inspection Department know him, Zhang Mao is bold and generous on weekdays, and he is quite popular, seeing that Zhang Mao has only one person to call the door, the soldiers do not suspect it, and they take the initiative to open the city gate, they know that Zhang Mao will definitely have a reward for them after entering the city gate, not to Zhang Zhong's face, but also to the face of silver.
The city gate opened a small crack, and this crack determined the chaos in Beizhili.
What awaits the soldiers is not snowflakes of silver, but steel knives with necks.
Hundreds of people swarmed in, and the soldiers had their throats cut with steel knives before they could scream. Lying on the ground, clutching the blood that burst out of his neck, he convulsed unwillingly.
The city gate was wide open, Tang Zihe and Ge Lao Wuyi waved their hands, and the five thousand rebels outside the city rushed into Bazhou City like a landslide and tsunami.
Bazhou, it's messed up.
…………
…………
Everywhere the rebels were murdering, arsoning and looting, hundreds of people were so frightened that they hid in their homes and trembled, and the soldiers of the inspection department and the officials of the prefect's yamen were killed as early as when the rebels entered the city, and the entire city had fallen into the hands of the rebels.
Zhang Mao's eyes were red, he slashed left and right with a knife, and went straight to Liang Hong's mansion. Today it has fallen into the anti-army. From then on, the situation of openly fighting against the imperial court was given by Liang Hong, and he was the first person Zhang Mao wanted to kill.
The city was full of fires, and the rebels slaughtered in all directions. Tang Zihe, who entered the city after the last time, saw that the rebels were killing people everywhere and setting fires. The beautiful eyebrows couldn't help frowning.
saw Zhang Mao leading dozens of people to walk on the street in a murderous manner. Tang Zihe hurriedly stopped in front of him.
"Zhang Da is in charge, hurry up and order to restrain his brothers, Bazhou will be the foundation of our existence in the future. If you slaughter the people at will, you will be rejected by the people of the world. ”
"Get out of the way! The big thing will be said after Zhang has avenged the big revenge! Zhang Mao angrily bypassed Tang Zihe, clenched his steel knife and ran towards Liang Hong's mansion.
A trace of dissatisfaction flashed in Tang Zihe's eyes, and he glanced at Ge Lao Wu behind him, Tang Zihe himself also wanted to see the eunuch who forced Zhang Mao and other green forest tycoons to have to raise the banner to rebel, so the two followed Zhang Mao and rushed to Liang Hong's mansion with him.
Liang Mansion has been in a mess, seeing Zhang Mao and others murderous, the servants and maids who were looking at the door screamed and fled in all directions, Zhang Mao and others broke in from the front door as if they were in a no-man's land, and walked straight to the inner courtyard, on the way they met the frightened people of Liang Mansion, Zhang Mao didn't say a word and slashed down, killing all the way, it can be seen how strong the hatred in his heart is.
As soon as he walked to the moon gate in the inner courtyard, he met Liang Hong who was holding a bag of soft and ready to escape, the enemy was very red-eyed when he saw each other, Zhang Mao immediately red-eyed, and kicked Liang Hong with a loud shout, but he didn't kill him with a knife, obviously with the idea of slowly torturing Liang Hong to death.
"A good man spares his life, if a good man only seeks wealth, he will be miscellaneous...... I, I've got gold and silver here...... Hey? You are Zhang Mao! Liang Hong's face was colorless, and he originally had a trace of luck to survive.
"Liang Hong! You son of a bitch, it's so hard for me! Zhang Mao's hand fell, Liang Hong screamed, and one ear was cut off alive.
Liang Hong knew at this moment that Zhang Mao would not let him go, but his instinct to survive still supported him to beg for mercy.
"Zhang Ye spared his life, the slave maid was blind before, and offended heroes like Zhang Ye, but the slave maid was really forced to have no choice......"
Zhang Mao laughed violently: "You have searched the whole city of Bazhou, how many people have been looted by you to sell their sons and daughters and not die well, the imperial court Ma Zheng clearly said that each household only needs to pay two horses every year, and as soon as you open your mouth, it is five, and those who can't hand it over will be put into prison to exchange money for their lives, and do all kinds of evil things that lose their conscience, but you still say that you are forced?" ”
Liang Hong ignored his blood, knelt on the ground and kowtowed frequently, and shouted loudly: "The slave is really forced, if there is a trace of falsehood, I am willing to be thundered by the sky!" Master Zhang, the slave and maid are eunuchs, and they did a lot of things in their previous lives to meet the retribution of their sins in this life, do you think that the slave and maid don't want to accumulate more virtue in this life and cultivate a good fortune in the next life? Do you think that slaves and maids are willing to do these evil things that damage yin and morality and cannot be reborn in the next life? ”
Tang Zihe, who had not spoken for a long time, flashed in his eyes and said, "Who are you forced by?" ”
Liang Hong cried: "I was originally the house slave of Liu Jin, the eunuch of the Beijing Master of Ceremonies, Liu Jin was greedy for money by nature, and he planted party henchmen in the middle of the court, and many places needed to spend silver to make friends with ministers, and he also planned to return to his hometown in Xingping, Shaanxi Province to live in his old age after leaving the palace in the future, if he wanted to bury himself in the ancestral grave of the Tan family, he needed more silver, so he sent a lot of domestic slaves like me to serve as the governor of Qincha in various places, and looted money in the name of Ma Zheng and Mine Supervisor, especially in the past two years, Liu Jin was forced to be in crisis everywhere by Qin Kan, Marquis of Shanyin, The position in front of His Majesty is also gradually dangerous, Liu Jin even instructed us to collect money crazily, to buy the hearts of the party henchmen, in order to seek a hundred responses from the court, Liu Jin, a domestic servant like me, has set a set amount of money for us to loot every year, and one or two will make him angry, and he will be beaten and scolded at the light and killed with a cane, Master Zhang, what I have done in Bazhou in the past two years is not what I want, it is really forced by Liu Jin! ”
As soon as Tang Zihe heard the name of "Qin Kan", his beautiful eyes like autumn water suddenly lit up, and then he didn't know what to remember, and his eyes quickly dimmed again.
Zhang Mao sneered: "It's all quibbles, do you dare to pat your chest and say that the looted silver didn't touch your hands?" ”
Liang Hong's face turned pale, and he couldn't speak.
Of course, it is impossible not to get his hands on the silver that was scavenged, on the contrary, Liu Jin took less of these people's fat and people's ointment, and most of them were swallowed by Liang Hong himself.
Tang Zihe, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly asked again: "You said that Liu Jin was forced into crisis everywhere by Qin Kan, how is the situation in the Jingshi Dynasty now?" ”
Liang Hong said bitterly: "Liu Jin's situation is gradually not good, a while ago the king of Anhua rebelled, I don't know what hysteria the king of the county had, the rebellion was actually said to be forced by Liu Jin to rebel, Liu Jin is busy instructing Xichang to collect the text everywhere, not to let the text enter Beijing word by word to be seen by His Majesty and the minister...... Yesterday, a letter came from Jingshi, saying that His Majesty had cut Liu Jin's right to supervise the West Factory, it seems that his holy family has gradually disappeared, Qin Kan has gradually gained the upper hand, Liu Jin's future is unpredictable, I am his servant, and the future is even more ......."
Before he finished speaking, he stopped gloomily, at this moment he will have no luck falling into the hands of Zhang Mao, what is the "future"?
A spark of excitement rose in Tang Zihe's eyes, and he muttered to himself: "Build Tianjin, get rid of the traitors...... He was slowly fulfilling every word he had ever said, and he didn't say a word of lie......"
Everyone looked at Tang Zihe's excited expression inexplicably, but Ge Lao Wu, who was standing beside her, had a sinking face, his face was gradually covered with haze, and he wrung his eyebrows but didn't say a word.
After a long time, Tang Zihe suddenly said to Zhang Mao: "Zhang Da is in charge, the rebellion of King Anhua reminded me, those who have always made troubles must be famous, otherwise everyone in the world will call us a traitor, and the people and scholars will turn their backs, and it is only a matter ......of time before we perish."
Zhang Mao was confused and said: "Miss Tang means ......"
Tang Zihe said slowly, word by word: "After we occupy Bazhou City, we will also send a text!" Tell the people and scholars of the world, because the current monarch is mediocre, the court has a traitor, and the people of the world are not happy, forcing us to raise troops to attack the city, and seek a way to live for the poor people in the world. ”
Zhang Mao is a big boss, and he suddenly felt that what Tang Zihe said was reasonable, so his eyes lit up: "Good idea!" It's all the other way around, what else can't you do? Let's send that message, recruit troops and buy horses together, and let's do a big deal when we have all the people! …… However, what do we say in the text? Who are we forced to rebel against? ”
Tang Zihe pursed his lips and smiled: "Of course to tell the truth, we were clearly forced to rebel by Liu Jin, aren't we?" ”
After speaking, Tang Zihe smiled, then turned around and left the Liang Mansion, as for Liang Hong, who was paralyzed on the ground, Tang Zihe didn't glance at him out of the corner of his eyes, and fell into the hands of the enemy Zhang Mao, this Liang Hong is already a dead man.
An hour later, a notice of peace was suddenly posted everywhere in the city of Bazhou, and the military discipline and military orders were strictly ordered, in addition to the notice, the city was also sprinkled with ink not dried to ask for thieves, the so-called "thief", naturally Liu Jin of the Beijing Division.
After another hour, a Jinyi guard spy took advantage of the unpreparedness of the anti-army in the city, quietly slipped out of the city along a collapsed city wall, and staggered in the direction of the Beijing division......
When the secret agent went to Beijing, Qin Kanyu discussed with Li Dongyang, Yang Tinghe, Du Hong and others in the study of the Hou Mansion to eliminate the traitor.
There are fierce enemies inside, and there are rebellions outside, and the spearhead is directly aimed at Liu Jin.
Liu Jin's fate seems to have been sealed. (To be continued......)
