When Zhang Xianzhong's army came to Changsha City, Yin Xianmin, the general of Huguang, and He Yide, the general of Changsha, surrendered to Changsha City.

Yin Xianmin and He Yide surrendered without a fight, which was disloyal and unjust to the Ming Dynasty, but for the lower class people in Changsha City, it was not a blessing, at least they were spared a war.

After Zhang Xianzhong entered the city, he forbade the soldiers to plunder at will, this order was useless in other places, how the rebels should rob and rob, how to kill and how to kill, but at that time there was Zhang Xianzhong in Changsha City, and the order was carried out more haode, and the lower class people had to avoid a catastrophe.

But this does not mean that everyone in the city is fine, Zhang Xianzhong has not been able to change the robber nature of eating big households, and after entering the city, in the name of donations, he forcibly extorted the wealth of rich households, and half of the industry in the city is from the Jiwang Mansion, and now it has been confiscated by Zhang Xianzhong.

Therefore, when Huang Lianshan and a few people entered Changsha City, they saw that although the city was not damaged by the war, all industries on the streets were depressed, commodities and materials were in short supply, and every people's face was covered with bitterness;

Although they were not openly looted by the rebels, the prices in the city soared, and the prices of firewood, rice, oil, salt and other necessities for life soared seven or eight times, and the people in the city were equivalent to a disguised loot;

And when this disguised looting seems to never end, think about it, the entire Huguang has suffered a crazy looting and destruction, where is there a flow of goods and materials into Changsha City? Without the inflow of goods, prices in the city will only continue to soar.

In the cities, more and more people are selling their children and dying of starvation on the streets, and all kinds of violent incidents of robbery, theft, and murder have emerged one after another, and they have become more and more intense, causing the people to boil over and complain.

Huang Lianshan turned a few streets familiarly, and came to the west side of Jiwang Mansion in front of the Xiangzhong Martial Arts Hall in Yushi Lane, if it was before. The Xiangzhong Martial Arts Hall is always noisy, and the courtyard is full of disciples dancing with knives and guns, as well as high-rollers from all walks of life who come to visit the Niu brothers.

But now, the door of the martial arts hall is closed, and there is silence inside, and the fallen leaves of the two old locust trees in front of the door have accumulated all over the steps in front of the door, and no one has cleaned them.

Seeing this situation, Huang Lianshan's heart couldn't help but tighten, the purpose of his coming was to persuade the Niu brothers to do internal response, if something happened to the two brothers. He's just running for nothing.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Huang Lianshan patted the door for a long time before an old servant came to open the door.

After a cup of tea, Huang Lianshan finally saw Niu Wanshan, the eldest of the Niu brothers, in the backyard.

"Brother Niu, didn't you say that King Daxi forbade looting and treated the people of Changsha well, why did Brother Niu's court snub him?"

"Be kind to the people of the city? Alas! Niu Wanshan replied with emotion, "Brother Huang only knows one thing but doesn't know the other." The big families in the city were forcibly extorted for their assets, and even the families were ruined and the dead did not know themselves, and the Xiangzhong Martial Arts Hall for the brother was also emptied, and the three meals were still supported by the disciples;

Ordinary people are expensive because of prices. Hungry, the people are not living, the people are not living! Now, if we continue to let a group of disciples play with guns and sticks here, we may cause some trouble. Brother Wei has already closed the door to thank customers, if it weren't for Brother Huang coming to visit, Brother Wei really wouldn't have opened the door. By the way, this army is in chaos, how could Brother Huang run to Changsha? ”

"Brother Niu, I won't hide it from you, I came to Changsha, and the little brother came here with a request."

"Brother Huang, you and I have been friends for many years, we treat each other with all our hearts, and we stick knives in both ribs, if you have anything to say, please say it directly to Brother Huang."

"What the hell do you want to do, can't you tell me?" The red lady asked with anticipation.

Qin Mu only gave her an indifferent glance.

"I've figured it out, you want to attack Changsha." The red lady suddenly showed a sudden realization, but there was no smugness on her face, but she was even more surprised.

In the woods, more than 2,000 people were resting for a while, eating some dry food and drinking some water, and they rushed all the way, and they did not leave their saddles, and they swept outside the city of Shangsu overnight under the banner of the rebels, until dawn, and then they entered the forest to rest for a while, and everyone looked very tired, but with a state of excitement.

"Are you sick?" Qin Mu replied disdainfully, gnawed on the pancakes in his hand in two bites, and halfway through eating, he couldn't help but think of Qiao'er, this girl, I don't know if she is okay in Ganzhou.

"You're sick?" The red lady snorted coldly.

"Changsha City has thick walls and many defenders, so with my little men and horses to attack Changsha? What is it that you say you are not sick? ”

"From Shangsu to the south is Pingxiang, our direction is to Liuyang, Liuyang is Changsha a hundred miles past the past, you are not going to attack Changsha, how can you take this road? When am I a fool? ”

"Hehe" Qin Mu smiled, it was clear that you were a stupid girl.

The red lady hated it so much that she couldn't help but want to do it, but this guy always hid too many secrets that made her want to stop, including the broken tube that she hadn't gotten her hands on, including why he dared to attack Changsha City, which was heavily guarded, with this little bit of people. So instead of a whip, she handed out a piece of roasted meat.

"Oh, for you."

"This official doesn't eat the food that comes from him."

"You haven't repaid your kindness, and you don't want to take a bite of it next time you feed the dog."

The red lady opened her mouth and closed her mouth, which made Qin Mu inexplicably a little disgusted, you are a big girl, what kind of old lady does you call yourself, isn't this cheap? Qin Mu swallowed the pancake in a big gulp, and didn't even look at her more, so he got up straight and went to discuss with Meng Ke and the others.

The red lady was so angry that she threw the barbecue into the bushes, but her heart was like knocking over a five-flavor bottle, and she couldn't tell what it tasted like, but she felt a little uncomfortable.

Behind the big tree ten zhang away, Xing Lao Qi and Ghost Sanyue sat on the trunk of the tree, exchanged glances with each other, and Ghost Sanyue whispered: "I think there is something wrong with Sister Hong." ”

"You only now see that something is wrong." Xing Lao Qi nodded.

"Dapeng rises with the wind one day and soars up to 90,000 miles. Although I don't understand, this poem sounds imposing, Sister Hong has always respected those backbone readers, the surname Qin has some ways to march and fight, this poem will also be done, and it is not bad for the poor people, Lao Qi, you said that Sister Hong should not like the surname Qin. ”

"It shouldn't be now, but it's hard to say if it goes on like this, the surname Qin always has a cold face, Sister Hong has nothing to do, so she will go to the surname Qin Mu, this sign is really wrong, in case the surname Qin Mu has a better attitude, it will really be uncertain."

"Then we have to persuade Sister Hong to leave quickly."

"How can you persuade her, haven't you gotten the telescope she said yet?"

"Isn't it just a broken tube, I think Sister Hong is just making an excuse for herself to approach the one surnamed Qin."

"You don't know Sister Hong's temper, I can't persuade you anyway, I want to persuade you."

"I, I can persuade me sooner."

On the other side of the woods, Huo Sheng said with some unease: "My lord, the key to our action this time is the words fast and dense, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to let the Red Lady and the gang follow like this." ”

Qin Mu frowned and said: "I'll deal with this matter, so far, Su Jin has led people to hunt in front, and our identity has not been exposed, but as we get closer and closer to Changsha, it will be difficult to say next, what are your best plans?" ”

Meng Ke thought for a while and said: "My lord, this place is still one hundred and forty miles away from Changsha, according to our speed, it will not take us a day and a night to arrive, this area is densely forested and sparsely populated, while our hiding has not been exposed, I suggest rest here for two hours, and then rush to Changsha at full speed;

If you follow this, when you pass Liuyang, the sky is probably dark, and the journey from Liuyang to Changsha is the night road, which should avoid our actions from being exposed in advance to the greatest extent, but overnight, it is not easy to catch up with eighty or ninety miles. ”

Huo Sheng said: "The road from Liuyang to Changsha is relatively easy to walk, a few horses are killed and a few people are left behind, this is not a big problem, the problem Ling Zhan and Huang Lianshan have not replied so far, in case this should not work, even if we touch the city of Changsha unconsciously, it is useless." ”

Qin Mu said calmly: "Just do what General Meng said, as for Ling Zhan and them, even if they can't capture the city gate, put a few fires in the city and add a little chaos, I believe they can still do it, as long as our actions are not exposed in advance, then it will be a big deal to pile up all the gunpowder and blow up the city gate." ”
