On September 9, the fourth year of Daming Honghua, the beggars rebelled.

I don't know if the court was too lenient with the beggars, or if the court was too strict with the beggars; I don't know if the ambitions of the beggars are too big, or the sights of the beggars are too shallow; I don't know if the leader of the beggar gang wants to be the emperor himself, or if Zhao Zhengbao plucked him; I don't know if they wanted to rebel in the first place, or if the court blindly tossed and forced them to rebel - in short, the beggars rebelled.

The beggars in the world are also a kind of household registration, or in other words, a kind of household registration in the law, just like tenants, soldiers, chickens, and households.

In the past, there were not many beggars, but later there were more and more beggars, probably more and more, or someone pretended to be. There are more and more beggars, and the real beggars are almost negligible.

There were frequent fights between local beggars, and beggars from all over the country fought and killed each other, while other gangs, nobles, officials, and civilians also bullied them.

The beggars decided to change the situation.

It is said that tens of thousands of years ago, the beggars of the world gathered in Wutai Mountain, and after several months of discussion, the first gang in the world, the beggar gang, was finally born.

The beggar gang has a gang leader, a deputy gang leader, four protectors, twelve elders, twenty-three hall masters, hundreds of incense masters, and countless beggars, leading hundreds of millions of gangs in the world.

Legend has it that the martial arts of the beggar gang are more powerful than those of Shaolin Wudang, and there are "dog beating stick methods", "eighteen Arhat formations" and so on.

These words make a lot of sense, because those monks and Taoists can only chant sutras and meditate, and they can't even fight, while the beggars at least often fight in groups.

The so-called "dog stick method" is actually to beat the dog with a stick, and the so-called "eighteen arhat array" is a group of eighteen people beating one person.

How could the imperial court tolerate the existence of such a large gang?

The imperial army encircled and suppressed several times, but the more and more they fought, and finally decided that it was better to control than to exterminate, and the beggars were short-sighted, so they happily agreed, so the appointment of the gang leader must be approved by the imperial court, and the imperial court directly sent the supervisor to supervise them, and even the imperial court also had the financial budget of the beggar gang.

The current leader of the beggar gang is Hong Chengyan.

He has been honest for decades, and recently suddenly killed the prison gang sent by the imperial court and raised a gang to rebel. He summoned a group of beggars from Gyeonggi and other provinces, who claimed to be one million, and they all went to the Heifeng Forest in Lintong County, where they built a large platform with the words "Walking for the Heavens" written on the platform.

Hong Seung-yan gave a fiery speech and distributed flags and gold dollars.

The beggars were excited, and vowed to go straight to Chang'an, kill the dog emperor, and push the gang leader onto the dragon chair.

Hong Chengyan randomly announced the establishment of a beggar gang army, and he also divided officials and officers from all over the country.

The beggars waved their flags and rushed to Chang'an.

After that, I think that either the beggar army defeated the imperial army, or the imperial army defeated the beggar army, I can't think of any other situation.

And the actual situation is: Hong Chengyan immediately sneaked into the Central Plains after giving a speech, where he was named the leader of the Loyal and Righteous Protector Beggar Gang; The million-dollar beggar army suddenly disappeared when it left Linlong County, as if it had never appeared.

The imperial court sent the imperial army, the government army, and the clan army to encircle and suppress the beggar army.

If you can't find it on the left, you can't find it on the right, and even if you find a few beggars, it's a beggar who lacks hands and feet, or a stupid and dirty beggar, and it doesn't seem to be a threat.

Damn it!

The worst rebellion I've ever seen!

There was also a lot of discussion in the court.

Yang Mingyang, Minister of Survival and Minister of Law: "Now that the situation is very special, I suggest that all beggars be turned into ordinary household registrations, otherwise beggars can wander around, which is not conducive to the rule of the county!" ”

Prime Minister Li Guozhong: "I suggest that the army kill all the beggars, and there is not a single one left!" ”

Song Yingbiao, head of the Criminal Department: "It's easy to kill, but can you find it?" Those broken beggars are fine, they take the money and run, so they don't want to rebel. In fact, it's not bad to let them spend the money of the traitors in vain. I suggest that just leave it at that, more is better than less. ”

Prime Minister Li Guozhong: "How can it be done!" Where is the prestige of my court? Even if you can't find the beggar army, kill the little beggars and warn them not to rebel! Besides, what's the use of beggars? In addition to eating food for nothing, it affects the city's appearance. ”

Yang Mingyang: "This is extremely true! Either kill them all, or turn them into civilians. ”

At this time, Liu Xingchao, the head of the inner court, said: "The beggar household is a household registration since ancient times, which is older than most household registrations. The system must not be changed, and I am against it. Even if you kill the beggars, the beggars must not move! ”

Emperor Zhu Honghua thought for a while, and said as usual: "Think long-term." Retreat! ”

Inner Court assembly.

Liu Xingchao, the head of the inner court, said: "Do you say that these bastards from the outer court are idle all day long? The patriarchs will have tens of thousands of years of knowledge, not better than them? Now these systems have been handed down for tens of thousands of years, even if there is a little problem, they can't be changed indiscriminately! Especially that Yang Mingyang, in the future, Daming will be finished, he must be making trouble! ”

Li Feiyu: "Do you want to kill them all?" ”

Liu Xingchao shouted at him: "Can you not die all day long!" ”

Liu Xingchao thought for a while and said: "The beggar gang is the largest gang in the world, although they are all and begging for food, although they are not in harmony, but after all, there are hundreds of millions of people. Get someone to go in and see what is going on......"

I yelled, "Me! ”

Everybody was staring at me.

Ah, did I have the "sequelae of rushing to answer" - but my brain is quick, and I can figure out the reason in a second.

I said, "Your Excellency, I'm from a household, and I'm lower than a beggar. I know a lot of beggars in our county, so it's definitely no problem to send me in. I'll be sure to get into the details. ”

Zhao Yuyang, who was on the side, said: "Dongfang Ju is so busy in the inner court, the forbidden army, and the harem, where is he free!" Why don't you send me? ”

I said: "I have a low rank, I am too busy to make decisions, Zhao Yuyang is an assistant to the Ministry of Rites, how can the minister leave him?" Besides, he is from a big family, you can tell when you look at him that he is not pretending to be a beggar! Third, I have a lot of experience, but he has no experience, so it's better for me to go. ”

Zhao Yuyang was about to speak, but Liu Xingchao said: "It's so decided, Dongfang Ju, you go!" ”

It's good that I can finally go out and play, and it's on order.

I found my most trusted Imperial University classmates, Wang Yuquan and Zhang Kangning, who had gone to Yanjing with me.

It's also for my safety, although it's a bunch of stinky beggars, but they're an army of beggars who "claim" millions. Even if they spit at the foam, a million people can drown me.

Thinking of the saliva of a million beggars drowning me, I shudder!

I found Wang Yuquan, Zhang Kangning, and more than a dozen of their forbidden army henchmen. Although I am also a colonel of the forbidden army like Wang Yuquan and Zhang Kangning, my status is much higher than them, because I am still a member of the inner court and harem.

I told them about my plan.

I have studied the beggars, and the beggars are divided into clean clothes and dirty clothes.

The so-called dirty clothes pie is an ordinary beggar, the beggar you see on the street who is missing hands and feet, dirty, holding a dog beating stick and a broken bowl in their hands, and shouting "Uncle and aunt are good", that is the dirty clothes pie.

The Pure Clothes Sect is a high-ranking beggar who does not beg for his own life, but lives by making offerings or other means of filthy clothes. Some of the Pure Clothes Sect rose up from the dirty and lowly little beggars, and the little beggars, big beggars, beggars, incense masters, hall masters, elders, Dharma protectors, and helpers rose all the way up, and the beggars and above were considered the Pure Clothes Sect. In addition, martial arts heroes or scholars who have family businesses joined because they respected the beggar gang, and they were also the clean clothes gang. Since some people like to be monks, Taoist priests, and nuns, there are people who like to be beggars, and this is not surprising. However, this may also be their rhetoric, or maybe they joined to take advantage of the powerful beggar gang, who knows?

In short, I am going to pretend to respect the Beggar Gang, and I want to join the Beggar Gang and become a disciple of the Beggar Gang Purifying Clothes Sect.

I prepared our false certificates (because the real ones were also made by us, so our false certificates are also true certificates), and a group of 15 people took a car to Lintong County, east of Gyeonggi.

Lintong County is the junction of the three provinces, and it is also the place where the three do not care.

It is bounded by the Gyeonggi Plain to the west, the Yellow River and Shanxi to the north and east, and Tongguan and the Central Plains to the south.

The Yellow River floods all year round, so that the people of Lintong County flee to beggars all year round.

When the imperial court loved the people, they let the county people flee from the county, so that they would ruin the reputation of the imperial court and disturb the order of the three provinces, but they survived; When the imperial court was in a bad mood, they sent soldiers to block the entrance of each village, so that they could not ruin the reputation of the imperial court and would not disturb the order of the three provinces, but the disadvantage was that the people of the county would starve to death.

But how can a dead man speak? Therefore, no one starved to death.

So the measures taken by the imperial court most of the time were the latter method.

Especially now that the Ministry of Law is in power, it is even more necessary to implement the legal provisions of the Royal King James Law that "prohibits the movement of civilians".

We put the car at the royal army station on the county border, and a group of 15 people walked to Lintong County.

Each of us brought a pistol, and I also brought a large number of paper gold dollars.

We walked all the way and looked all the way.

Lintong County is really unlucky, the Yellow River has just overflowed, and the Yellow River flood area is a miserable image.

The walls are full of mud prints more than one person high, the shrubs are directly soaked to death, the big trees are soaked all over the place, there is actually a dead cow on the top of the tree, flies are flying everywhere, and maggots keep falling.

But the crops are really powerful, they haven't been soaked for a month, they are still alive, and they are alive and well, and they have begun to bear ears!

I don't know how people cultivated them tens of thousands of years ago! Civilization was unfathomable!

There are so many beggars on the road.

People dig frogs and fish from the fields, bird eggs and snakes from trees, and many more eat freshly filled ears of rice.

Everyone scolded at the court.

I couldn't help but think that if the Ministry of Food had been set up and all these high-yielding and tenacious crops had been cultivated into low-yielding and death-prone crops, all of them would have starved to death, and even if they didn't, they would either be too busy looking for food to eat, or they would be so hungry that they couldn't even make a rebellion.

In this way, the Ministry of Food is still somewhat useful.

We walked for a few hours, and the county seat of Lintong appeared in front of us.

The county seat has obviously been soaked for a long time, there are mud marks several meters high on the city wall, and the corners of the wall are all black silt, and even the city wall has collapsed for hundreds of meters.

There were quite a lot of people at the gates.

We also walked over, and when we got closer, we realized that it was actually the beggar gang disciples who were defending the city, not the imperial army!

The beggars were barefoot, wearing brown robes, large black trousers, and wooden sticks in their hands.

Some beggar-like men were well-dressed, with machetes in their hands, directing pedestrians to pass.

They saw us alone, and dozens of them surrounded us.

One of the leaders shouted at us with a knife, "What are you doing?" Is it a spy of the imperial court? ”
