All the way, because there were too many victims along the way, the red lady found that she didn't need to go to Kaifeng to recruit enough people, so the red lady directly changed the itinerary, got off the boat in Zhongmu County, and began to recruit displaced people.

This place meets all the conditions for the Red Lady to recruit homeless people, this place has been forced to the point of collapse by the disaster, the price of a pound of rice here is unbelievably high, here the Red Lady's team was attacked by homeless people and thieves as many as fifteen times overnight.

And when the red lady entered the city, Zhongmu City is also a mess, last night thieves attacked Zhongmu City, killed the local defenders, robbed the rich, and even put a fire in the inn full of rotten Confucianism, this fire directly burned hundreds of people.

The entire Zhongmu City has completely lost order, looking at this messy city, the corners of the red lady's mouth curled, revealing an unprecedented smile.

"This is it, notify it, erect a banner of righteousness in the city, open a warehouse to release grain, and collect the victims."

"Yes."

After listening to the words of the red lady, more than 100 people in this line directly erected a banner of righteousness outside the largest restaurant in the city, and wrote: Four big characters for Tianxingdao.

followed by a loud shout: The big boss of Woniu Mountain wants to collect brothers here, and all the young people who come to join will be rewarded with ten catties of rice, and from now on there will be a bite of our big boss to eat, and there will be a bite for everyone!

After saying this, the red lady exposed the grain, empty mouth and white teeth, and said without evidence, if you don't take out something real, who will be a bandit with you.

But as soon as the rice came out, everyone went crazy, and in just one morning, the red lady gathered thousands of people.

With someone, the Red Lady took the big guy to rob the local rich and attacked the county government, and soon more and more people joined the Red Lady, and in less than five days, the Red Lady's team snowballed to 8,000 people.

Almost the entire labor force in Zhongmu County, young and strong have joined the team of the Red Lady, the Red Lady is capable, under her leadership, this team gradually has combat effectiveness, and slowly became the first force in Zhongmu County.

And with such a strong force, the red lady does not want to be trapped in this district of Zhongmu County, the most important thing is that there is no rich household in Zhongmu County to rob now, if you want to revitalize this team and continue to grow this team, you must try to make a bigger city, for example, Kaifeng.

Kaifeng is now a besieged city, and the siege is wonderful, since last winter, the prefectures and counties around Kaifeng have more or less snowed, Ruixue Zhaofeng year, only in winter, in early spring, the snow melts, and the crops can get enough water to nourish.

But the evil door, last year until this spring in the entire Kaifeng Mansion did not fall a single snow, before the green and yellow harvested, many families in Kaifeng Mansion were out of food, had to go out to find a way to live.

But there is no shortage of rain in Henan this year, but Kaifeng Mansion is a drought, which is really evil.

And when the spring sowing arrived, there was finally a turnaround, Henan, which did not rain, suddenly began to rain heavily for several days, and the crops in other places were flooded again, but the residents of Kaifeng, feeling that they could live again, hurriedly found the people who went out, and came back to prepare to rush to sow summer grain.

As a result, the population of Kaifeng became abundant again.

And the displaced people also began to gather in Kaifeng Mansion.

The land of Longxing in Huaxia, Henan, has a large population and a flat land, so the Ming Dynasty set up two vassal kings in this place, one is the Fu King who is entrenched in Luoyang City, and the other is the Zhou King who is entrenched in Kaifeng Mansion.

This time, Henan first drought and then flood, suddenly produced a large number of displaced people, and Luoyang has Henan general soldier Liu Zeqing entrenched, Liu Zeqing is famous, the displaced people dare not approach Luoyang, afraid that this Liu madman will kill, so they can only gather to Feng first.

After all, no matter what time it is, big cities are always more resilient to risks than small cities, and they can have one more way to live.

Therefore, the displaced people of Kaifeng Mansion gathered more and more, and the vassal king of Kaifeng Mansion, King Zhou, was a good person, and after learning that the common people could not survive and ran to Kaifeng, he did not drive away the common people, but took out the savings in the house, set up a porridge shed, helped the people, and extended the lives of the people.

But this time it touched the scale of the Ming royal family, first impeached the king of Zhou in the imperial history, violated the ancestral patriarchal law, and interfered in politics as a vassal king.

King Zhou felt that he had a clear conscience, so he ignored him, and as a result, the Henan Governor Gao Mingheng directly wrote to the imperial court, impeaching King Zhou for relieving the victims, buying people's hearts, and intending to rebel.

This frightened King Zhou, he didn't expect that he would be treated like this if he wanted to do something good, so he hurriedly imprisoned himself in King Zhou's mansion and went to the Son of Heaven to ask for guilt.

There is no way, since Zhu Di, the attitude of the old Zhu family towards the vassal king is that you can be corrupt, you can rob the people's daughters, you can manage people's lives, you can do these things, but you can't be good to the people, and you can't be too good to the local officials.

Otherwise, you are intending to rebel, because such a thing, in the memory of the Ming Dynasty, has happened more than once or twice, Zhu Di is a lesson from the past, Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning, can be regarded as the second example, with these two examples, the Ming royal family's control over the vassal king is not generally strict, so the action of the king of Zhou to help the victims without authorization can be regarded as annoying the Ming royal family and local officials.

I have to say that there is a reason for the demise of the Ming Dynasty, the vassal king's annual income adds up to more than half of the silver in the treasury, but these silver are not used in the people, and in the end it leads to the collapse of the Ming Dynasty's property, and finally completely disappears.

And because the king of Zhou no longer provides disaster relief, the displaced people who gathered in Kaifeng Mansion cannot get food, which will naturally cause riots of all sizes, but they are all suppressed by Gao Mingheng and others.

But the people's sentiment is like this, it is better to be sparse, when the people have no food to eat, they don't care what you are, at this time the people have only one purpose, that is, to eat, if they don't give food, they will rob.

However, Gao Mingheng's command of the Kaifeng defenders is not dry, and the homeless people are crushed to death, at this time the homeless people do not have a nominal leader, naturally it is a plate of loose sand, but if someone raises his arms and shouts, the homeless people form a share, then these weak and bullying homeless people will become the king of Hades who asks for their lives in Kaifeng City.

After learning about the situation in Kaifeng City, the red lady's eyes lit up and said: "This is a godsend, if I can kill Gao Mingheng, raise my arms and shout, I can't say that I can lead the displaced people to capture this thousand-year-old city, with this city in hand, even if I face King Li Chuang, he will respect me for three points!" ”

The red lady is worthy of being a thief, with the blood of adventurism flowing in her body, and she is also a man of action, just do what she says, and the next day she took thirty people to prepare to secretly infiltrate Kaifeng City, leaving her henchmen to manage the five thousand men in Zhongmu City.

Kaifeng City, Kaibao Temple, the red lady sat at a mutton stall, looking at an iron tower in the temple, this is the famous Kaifeng Iron Tower in Kaifeng Mansion, which was built by King Zhou.

The red lady looked at the tall iron tower, and said with sharp eyes: "If these officials can give these useless money to the people, why should the people be like this?" ”

After saying this, the red lady looked at the big girl beside her and said, "Is your news accurate?" Gao Mingheng will come to this Kaibao Temple today? ”

The big girl said: "This is the news from the Patrol Mansion, I don't know if it's allowed or not, but Miss, this Gao Mingheng is a big official, are we enough for more than 30 people?" ”

The red lady said: "It must be enough, there are few lackeys of these courts who are willing to work hard, as long as we kill Gao Mingheng and shout, the beggars and homeless people around here will help us, and when the time comes, open the city gate and let all the homeless people outside the city in, no one can stop it." ”

Hearing this, the big girl nodded slightly, and several people continued to drink the mutton soup, not to mention that the mutton soup in Kaifeng Mansion is better than the mutton soup in other places, the taste is mellow, and there is a special spice, so that the red lady also drank several more bowls.

"Shopkeeper, another bowl."

The red lady spoke, and the shopkeeper immediately went to serve the soup.

"Shopkeeper, this group doesn't look like a good stubble."

The shopkeeper said while serving the soup: "Now there is nothing good about this Kaifeng Mansion, let's not do much, continue to lurk, and wait for Li Zicheng's army to enter the city, we only need to blend into the army and complete the task of the county honor." ”

"What the shopkeeper said, but the shopkeeper, this selling mutton soup is really profitable, we have earned a little fifty taels in the past ten days, which is higher than our monthly allowance."

"Go, rat eyes, is the work we do about money?"

"Hey, why don't I just talk about it?"

The shopkeeper glanced at the white guy, followed by a smile and said with a bowl of soup: "Hahaha, here, your sheep soup." ”

The shopkeeper smiled and brought the sheep soup to the red lady.

They came to Kaifeng Mansion a month ago, and at that time their order was to monitor the Zhou Palace, monitor the governor's yamen and other high-ranking officials, and provide information related to Lantian.

But the order they got half a month ago was completed, put on makeup and lurk, waiting for the opportunity to blend in with the rebels.

That's right, half a month ago, Lantian noticed the crisis in Henan, and began to arrange the hidden mission, and this sheep soup restaurant is just an inconspicuous small role in this hidden mission, and like such a small role, Lantian sent out a lot, these secret spies are hiding in all corners of Kaifeng Mansion in various forms, some are porters, some are doing small business, and some even make up as homeless people, mixed outside the city, in the ranks of the rogues, in order to blend into the righteous army, and then make meritorious contributions, promotions and salary increases.

At noon, a carriage suddenly appeared in the distance, the carriage was of high specification, and there was a team of guards around to escort the carriage, and the carriage drove directly towards Kaibao Temple.

It was Gao Mingheng who was sitting in the car, and Gao Mingheng came to Kaibao Temple to routinely check whether King Zhou was abiding by the rules, King Zhou's unauthorized opening of the porridge shed shocked Gao Mingheng a lot, and also let him seize the opportunity of promotion and salary increase, King Zhou whether out of good intentions or ulterior motives, he took the initiative to open the porridge shed, which has touched the fragile nerves of the Ming royal family.

And as long as he bites his nerve in this matter, he can put the name of a loyal minister in Chongzhen's heart, which is very helpful to his promotion.

And the king of Zhou is also alert, after the last time he was impeached by himself, he imprisoned the palace of Zhou, yesterday may have been tired of the palace of Zhou, came to the Kaibao Temple in front of the Buddha to confess his sins, and he was going to come to see the king of Zhou, to show loyalty to Chongzhen.

The red lady watched the frame slowly approach, and her hand had already touched the knife under the table, and not far from the sheep soup house, a porter with a hat and sleeping against the wall also pushed away the hat covering his face and touched his hand on his flat shoulder.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense for a while, but at this moment, there was a loud bang, which frightened the red lady and the others all a spirit, and then turned their heads, and saw that the main hall of Kaibao Temple, which was still magnificent just now, was blown up.

"What's the situation!"

Everyone looked at everything blindly, and at this moment, they heard someone in Kaibao Temple shouting: "Save the prince, there are assassins!" ”

"Someone assassinated King Zhou?"

The people around were stunned, and at this time, in the tightly protected frame, a middle-aged man in official uniform came out of the frame directly, looked at Kaibao Temple, and his expression became extremely ugly and shouted: "Go and save the prince." ”

Gao Mingheng is not a fool, on the contrary, he is very smart, at this time King Zhou was assassinated, what does it mean, it means that public opinion will change, originally King Zhou was impeached, and the matter of self-imprisonment is a big thing for the displaced people he has graced, and it is finally forced by Gao Mingheng to suppress it, and the emotions of the displaced people are already unstable, but now if King Zhou is assassinated to death, this black pot will be 100% detained on his head.

What will the crazy people do when the time comes, Gao Mingheng doesn't dare to think about it, he only feels that his head is buzzing.

At this time, he could only let his guards hurry up to Kaibao Temple to save King Zhou, but Gao Mingheng transferred the guards away, and the red lady had a chance, at this time the red lady yelled: "Kill the corrupt official!" ”

The subordinates who followed the ambush immediately attacked, and for a while, countless voices killed Gao Mingheng, Gao Mingheng just transferred the guards around him, and there were only a few guards left, where could they block the raid of the red lady, and they were quickly killed.

The red lady was really fierce, taking the lead, Gao Mingheng's guards couldn't stop the red-clothed tigress at all, and soon heard Gao Mingheng's scream, and her head was cut off by the red lady.

"Avenge King Zhou today, kill the traitor Gao Mingheng, brothers, it's the opposite!"

The red lady shouted angrily, and the next moment the people in the city who were stirred up suddenly roared, and at this moment, a fierce drum suddenly sounded at the city gate, and when the drum was heard, the shopkeeper of the sheep soup restaurant said: "Today they are all together, and the displaced people are attacking the city!" ”

Boom Boom Boom ......

Listening to the roar of the cannons outside, the guy from the Sheep Soup Pavilion said: "There are more than 300 artillery pieces in Kaifeng Mansion, and the city is high, and there are more than 20,000 defenders. ”

At this time, the shopkeeper's right eyelid jumped straight and said: "Yes, Liukou knew that he couldn't get in, but he chose to attack the city at this time, something is wrong, it was Li Zicheng who did it this time, will he be so simple?" Why do I have a sense of foreboding? ”

Goo Dudu~

At this time, the mutton soup in the mutton soup pot was boiling, and the shopkeeper glanced at it, and the next moment he suddenly exclaimed: "No!" Li Zicheng him, hurry, hurry, let's go upstairs! ”
