…

I don't know when, a drizzle fell in the sky above Tobu County, the drizzle gradually became heavier, it became a pouring rain, the fire in the city was suppressed by this pouring rain, and gradually stopped, only the billowing black smoke rose into the sky, but the sound of fighting was still the same, those who tasted the sweetness, carrying the beams, blasted open the gate of the merchants and scholars in the city, poured into it, and snatched money, food, and women.

At present, the most important thing is naturally where the county government is located.

The county lieutenant tried his best to persuade the county commander to rebel against the water, but all of them failed, and the impatient county lieutenant immediately ordered the siege of the city, and at the same time sent people to ask for reinforcements.

The rain fell sparsely, and the county lieutenant didn't care about sheltering from the rain, staring at the county government wall with a pair of eyes.

As we all know, a county seat is actually a microcosm of a country.

Therefore, the county government has a low wall, but this low wall is only two meters high, and the soldiers of the county lieutenant braved the sparse rain of arrows, and found that the city gate was blocked after tentatively hitting the city gate, so they carried sundries and piled them up under the low wall until a slope was formed, and a large number of soldiers immediately swarmed up like wolves and tigers.

On the other side, Tang Hong waved the blood on his sword expressionlessly, and led everyone to pour into the city, what he saw and heard along the way did not lead Tang Hong to be moved, and at this moment, he had a kind of understanding of what all this happened.

What this county lieutenant did was clearly driving the king.

On the way, Tang Hong saw a strange scene, an inn closed doors and windows, unharmed, and the shops on his left and right were in ruins, emitting bursts of steam and smoke under the pouring rain.

"This luck seems to be a little too good."

The thought flashed from Tang Hong's mind, and he didn't delve into it, but hurried to the county office.

…

The envoys sent by the county lieutenant soon returned, bringing with them about 300 people, and as soon as the two armies converged, they immediately doubled in size, which immediately made the hearts of the people at the head of the county government wall sink and look embarrassed, but they never gave up.

As for the scholars who supported the county lieutenant, there was chaos in the city, and they had done their best to be able to gather more than 300 people, and their attitude was the same as those who helped Yuan Yilin.

The intensity of the battle further escalated, every brick and stone of the low wall was stained with blood, and in the case of mixed with the soldiers of Tobu County who had gone through actual combat, the officials and the slaves of each family were not opponents at all, and a large number of soldiers from the county captain's side poured onto the wall, and quickly occupied a section of the low wall, and the battle situation was rapidly expanding.

The county lieutenant was also overjoyed when he saw this, and the whole person was in an extremely excited state, and his heart was full of miscellaneous desires, thinking about how to divide the interests in the future, or simply let those domestic slaves lose here.

But he didn't notice that among the more than fifty people who guarded him, the middle-aged man suddenly looked behind him, as if he noticed something, and his face immediately changed.

Before he could make a move, the sound became louder and louder, even covering up the sound of rain, and the county lieutenant was also startled when he heard the sound, and hurriedly looked behind him, only to see that on the street behind him, a black and oppressive group of soldiers and soldiers with full armor was quietly approaching here under the leadership of a young man.

Seeing that the other party noticed it, Tang Hong no longer covered it up, and immediately ordered to rush over, and at the same time shouted:

"The lieutenant of Dongwu County colluded with the Japanese to kill people and set fires, mutilated the people, and even gathered troops to besiege the county government.

I am Cao Tanghong, a thief in the East Martial Arts, and I came to the rescue on the orders of the county!

If you still have the idea of serving the country loyally, you should immediately abandon your sword and surrender, otherwise you will die! ”

The sound like thunder suddenly resounded for several miles around, and the soldiers under the command of the county lieutenant suddenly moved, and then followed by a short and high-pitched scream, and everyone immediately heard the sound and looked at it, only to see a sturdy man with a scar on the horn, with a hideous face holding the county lieutenant's hair in one hand, and sawing off the head with a knife in the other.

"The lieutenant of Dongwu County has been beheaded by my Xing Rong! The first level is here! The sturdy middle-aged man, holding the head dripping with blood, shouted towards Tang Hong's location!

Liu Xu on the side chuckled and said, "This person is really decisive. ”

Tang Hong looked at the head, glanced at the middle-aged man with some meaning, and added: "Some scheming." ”

As soon as the county lieutenant died, the overall situation was decided.

Tang Hong's troops quickly killed those who resisted, and then sent troops to quickly quell the rebellion in the city, in the process, if anyone dared to show the slightest intention to resist, it was one word - death!

Only with the most brutal means can the thugs who have tasted the sweetness and released the evil thoughts and violence in their hearts be suppressed.

Within three hours, all parts of the city immediately regained calm under this means.

However, Tang Hong did not stop, but gathered the house slaves sent by various families to help the county order, and kicked the door of the county lieutenant one by one, and beheaded the stubborn resistance for complicity.

In the meantime, there was a house slave who had evil thoughts in his heart, and was ordered to be killed by Tang Hong without hesitation, and immediately some companions rebelled, claiming that he was a certain house slave, and Tang Hong did not have any right to kill.

For this kind of person, Tang Hong still has the same order, that is, kill!

At this time, Tang Hong had no time to argue with him, and there was no reason to ignore him.

Seeing Tang Hong's brutal methods, all the house slaves were immediately silent, and there was no longer any nonsense.

Count the past one by one and tear apart all the resistants.

Of course, along with the destruction, Tang Hong also paid great attention to protection.

All the books were collected, and if those scholars did not resist, they were also protected, in addition, their ancestral shrines, cemeteries, and various buildings, Tang Hong had protection.

Except, of course, those that were burned before that.

After the riots in the city subsided, Tobu County, which originally had a population of 27,000, was suddenly reduced to more than 19,000 after this catastrophe, and only more than 4,000 households remained.

Tang Hong stood in a loft in the county government and was stunned, when Liu Xu walked up and reported: "Lord Qi, most of the scholars with more than 1,000 acres in the city have been taken, only a small number of people are county orders, and the rest are small wealthy families with less than 1,000 acres." What do we do next? ”

At this time, the night breeze blows into the attic with the moist smell of heavy rain, and the sky is getting brighter, indicating that the morning is approaching.

Tang Hong suddenly said at this time: "I have read a book that says that when a slave is dissatisfied with the slave owner, he will choose to resist, and the act of rebellion is to kill the slave owner, and loot the slave owner's manor and burn the slave owner's manor. ”

As soon as Tang Hong said this, Liu Xu immediately found the book Tang Hong said in his mind, which was a book about class, a little sensitive, and he didn't speak at the moment, listening quietly.
