Escape?! Meng Jiucheng frowned, and asked in a deep voice: "You can see clearly, how many rebels are coming?" ”

"Quite a few, they're all riding up the mountain!" With that, the refugee turned and ran out.

The door was open, and the cold air was blowing in. What caught my eye was the chaotic refugees, carrying or carrying things, screaming and panicking towards the gap in the wall.

Meng Jiucheng sighed, remembering what had happened in the later life.

As soon as the "devil is coming", the men, women and children of Hecun began to run for their lives, and sometimes they were just a lost little Japan. And it is interesting that this refugee who is in charge of watching can come to report a message and not just run for his life.

"I'll go to the mountain gate to take a look, you pack your things and prepare to escape." Meng Jiucheng picked up the big gun, and ran to the front with a command.

Separating the refugees who were fleeing in a hurry, Meng Jiucheng walked through the worship hall, ran to the mountain gate, climbed the ladder that had been erected, and raised his eyes to look at the mountain road.

The group did not come in a hurry, the mountain road was relatively narrow, and there was a thick layer of snow. The people who came were probably afraid of slipping and fell into the ditch next to the road.

Looking at the approaching people, Meng Jiucheng counted silently. One, two, three...... The count came to an abrupt end at eleven o'clock. After looking at it for a while, I finally didn't see what was still following behind.

Also, eleven heavily armed and vicious rebels really don't need more manpower to deal with dozens of refugees who can only turn around and flee for their lives.

Could it be that he was scared away by these eleven rebels? Meng Jiucheng narrowed his eyes slightly, and his heart was extremely entangled and unwilling.

"Dao Chief, what's the situation?" There were anxious shouts from below, but it was Mu Yi and Xiaowei, as well as Da Chou, Sanming, and even Qiao E who also came.

Meng Jiucheng looked at it condescendingly, and a wave of pride surged in his heart. What is the purpose of practicing martial arts, what is the purpose of making gunpowder canisters, and with these few people who care about themselves, will they still fight alone?

…………

Looking at the Taoist temple that was getting closer and closer, Pei Qing gently whipped his boots with a horsewhip, squinted his eyes and said, "While the sky is still bright, we will clean up those refugees, and we will live in the Taoist temple." ”

"A few beautiful little ladies caught at the bottom of the mountain are just enjoying here." Shi Deguang said with a lewd smile: "Let's occupy this Taoist temple, and it will be convenient to go down the mountain to do business in the future." ”

"What do you think of this step?" Pei Qing seemed to ask, but he couldn't hide a hint of smugness.

"Big brother sees far and seeks deeply." Shi Deguang praised Pei Qing and said, "If you still follow Sun Zhengzhong's old horseman, when will our brothers have a place to get ahead?" The old man is narrow-minded and greedy for money, and the younger brother has long had enough. ”

Pei Qing smiled and said, "The troubled times have come, as long as there are rich people and people, why not go away?" Sun Zhengzhong is difficult to achieve great things, our brothers take the opportunity to break away, or they can be kings in one place, or they can switch to the strong master, but wealth and nobility can't run. ”

"What the eldest brother said is very true." Shi Deguang nodded again and again, looking admiring.

The Mongolian army, the rebels, the rebels, the robbers, and the powerful landlords were armed, and the people and horses on the Central Plains at that time could probably be divided in this way. Although the names are different, almost all of these armed forces have done looting and burning.

For example, the Mongol army went south, mainly to loot and destroy. Everywhere the iron cavalry went, "the people were killed, the children of the golden silks, the cattle, the sheep, the horses and the livestock, all swept away, the houses were burned, and the cities were ruins."

The Jin army in North China, Shandong, could not resist the attack of the Mongol army, and was defeated and reduced to a chaotic army. The rebels are like bandits, and they loot and burn everywhere they pass.

The same is true of the rebels and robbers, who are very few and far between, or who rob the rich and give to the poor without harming the civilians.

And Pei Qing and Shi Deguang, who are now going up the mountain, are one of the rebel troops who retreated and fled. These two men were originally officers in the army stationed in Juzhou Prefecture, and the chief general was Sun Zhengzhong. The Mongolian army was strong, and Sun Zhengzhong hastily resisted and led his troops to flee south, wanting to return to his hometown to hide.

Looting all the way, the troops gradually dispersed, like Pei Qing and Shi Deguang, who were unwilling to succumb to Sun Zhengzhong, and most of the property that they were unwilling to loot was seized by Sun Zhengzhong, naturally there were not a few.

At the foot of the mountain, there were only more than 50 horses left under the leadership of Sun Zhengzhong. After plundering another batch of refugees, Pei Qing and Shi Deguang also had different hearts. After the two of them took more than a dozen horsemen to take prisoners and some belongings, they deliberately walked slowly, and when Sun Zhengzhong, who was in a hurry to take people away, they turned around and returned, and they wanted to settle here temporarily and set up their own doors.

Pei Qing is more scheming, with a mace in his hand, he also has some kung fu; Shi Deguang shoots a good arrow, but a spear is relatively ordinary.

And Pei Qing and the others, as well as the soldiers they led, although they belonged to the Jin army, they were all Han Chinese. At that time, the concept of the state and the nation was not yet perfect, and it is not surprising that there were many Han people who served as officials and soldiers in the Jin and Yuan dynasties.

For example, when Jin Aizong was in the early government, praised the martyrs of the Death Festival, and built a temple to encourage the anti-Mongolian soldiers, there were thirteen people in the first list, except for one who was from the Western Regions, the rest were Han. In addition, whenever Jin Yuanjian encounters war, the Jin State will also issue the Han Ding Zhuang as a soldier as usual, called the signing army.

In later generations, these Han people who fought for foreign races would probably be called "traitors". But at that time there was no such name, to be precise, people did not see them as "traitors".

Since the Jingkang Revolution, the Song dynasty moved south, and the Central Plains has been under the Jin people for more than 80 years, and the three northeastern provinces have been under the Japanese invaders for many years. Instead of harshly blaming the people in the occupied areas for not thinking about their homeland and being willing to rule, it is better to blame the Song court that abandoned the people and did not want to recover, but only knew peace and enjoyment.

Let's put aside these feelings and discussions, and then talk about Pei Qing and Shi Deguang, leaving five or six soldiers to guard the prisoners at the bottom of the mountain, and take nine of their men up the mountain proudly.

They thought very well, although the Taoist temple was broken, it could also shelter from the wind and rain and temporarily settle down to rest. Then he forced the captives to cut down wood and set up a village, and forcibly pulled the elite to expand the army. In the future, they will either occupy the mountains and become kings, plundering and plundering; or see the situation and take refuge in the strong master, all of them are rich and comfortable, and it is better to be a dog for the greedy and courageless Sun Zhengzhong.

At that time, the Mongol army plundered and burned in the Central Plains, the Jin army was defeated and fled, and many places showed a vacuum, and the Lianghe and Shandong regions were even more chaotic.

In the troubled world, people's hearts changed, and no matter whether "the strong or the cunning, they all set off rebellion against gold", not only were there rebellious soldiers and thieves, but the local tyrants and landlords also united with each other and organized armed forces in order to protect themselves. Therefore, Pei Qing and Shi Deguang are just examples of ambition in troubled times.

A group of rebellious soldiers went up the mountain in a hurry, in their opinion, occupying the Taoist temple and looting the refugees was as easy as digging for things, but they didn't know that Meng Jiucheng and the others were nervously arranging to give them a head-on blow.
