Emperor Zheng Xindi ascended the throne and changed the Yuan Jianwen.

The first year of Jianwen, just like the forty years of Zhengming, is still the beginning of a troubled era, but compared with the thirty-ninth year of Zhengming, which was full of war, it seems much calmer.

The states in the south of the Yangtze River are known as the land of fish and rice, and Shuzhou, Lianghu, Jiangsu and Zhejiang and other places are called the granary of Dazheng, but with the successive wars, Dazheng for the above places is also more important than a year, there is a momentum of exhaustion and fishing.

In the 39th year of the Zhengming Dynasty, there was a flood in Taihu Lake, which washed away the lake embankment, although it cannot be compared with the Qinghe River in the north, but it is also a monstrous disaster that made the people of more than a dozen counties homeless.

At this time, when Xu Lin's army was out of the fortress to crusade against the grassland rebel Xiao Yu, Emperor Zheng had no time to pay attention to this place, so instead of providing disaster relief in time, he instead transported grain from Jiangnan and other places to the northwest border pass. For a time, the whole Huzhou was starving, and the people who left their hometowns did not know how much, and there was a plague after the flood, and by the forty years of Zhengming, Huzhou was already ten rooms and nine empty.

When Xiao Lie was in power, Qin Zheng's army approached the eastern capital, and in order to maintain his troops, Xiao Lie not only did not mean to reduce taxes, but instead intensified the collection of taxes from Jiangnan and other places, and at the same time urged the governor of the river to step up the repair of the river embankment.

Yuan Feng, who was the governor of the river at the time, had no choice but to force the strong men, regardless of the lives of the people, and rushed to work day and night. As for these unfortunate poor people, not only do they have to face the whips in the hands of the murderous overseers, but they also do not have a single copper, and even if they have a full meal, it is a luxury. Every day, there are people who die on the river embankment, and for a time there is even a saying that flesh and blood build river embankments in Jiangnan and other places.

There is an undercurrent surging in the Jiangnan area.

After all, under the premise of not having enough to eat, they still have to work under the whip beyond the body's capacity, and no one can be calm, and the two hundred soldiers guarding them, in addition to the overseers, are also looking weak, if they are allowed to go to the battlefield, I am afraid that only 20 cavalry northwest cavalry will be charged in a round, and they will be killed and lost.

At this time, two young people were lying behind the rocks not far from the lake embankment, looking at the people who were digging the silt, and one of them said: "Dingzhong, no one else knows what happened last night, right?"

The person who spoke is a typical Jiangnan person, with a delicate face with a bit of grace that belongs to Jiangnan, and his body is thin.

The other person was a typical northerner, with an angular face, and his body size could be said to be quite majestic compared to his companions, and he just nodded silently in response to his companions' inquiries.

The person who spoke before glanced at his companion, nicknamed the stuffy gourd, and sighed softly, his voice was soft, softer than a man, and lower than a woman.

He said: "Lu Bo has already planned it, just waiting for a fire here." ”

The young man who was born with the appearance of a northerner cherished the words like gold and said: "Here it is." ”

The young man with an elegant appearance, whose real name was Wei Xianji, looked in the direction of the lake embankment, and saw that a group of people had dug up to the place they had predetermined.

Wei Xianji said softly: "Dingzhong, it's up to you this time." ”

The young man with his real name, Zhang Dingzhong, had a resolute face, nodded slightly, and then touched the big bow with horns behind his back.

Wei Xianji looked at the people who had already begun to wave the tools in their hands, and muttered to himself: "Mo Dao Shiren has one eye, and this thing is against the world." ”

Zhang Dingzhong held his breath.

At this time, beside the embankment of the lake, several people suddenly noticed that there seemed to be something under the silt.

"There seems to be something down there. ”

"Really?"

"Believe it or not. ”

"Shout, there's really something, why don't we get it out and take a look?"

"Okay, okay, let's do it together. ”

A wooden man took the lead and said, "I'll shout one, two, three, and everyone will work together." ”

Everyone should say yes in unison.

"One, two, three!"

"One, two, three!"

"One, two, three!"

"Get up!"

"What is this?"

"It seems to be a person, a stone man!"

"Wait, something seems wrong with this stone man. ”

"What's wrong?"

"One eye! This stone man only has one eye!"

Suddenly, it suddenly quieted down, and more than a dozen people looked at each other around the one-eyed stone figure, and several of them had gloomy faces, and their faces changed uncertainly.

After looking around, the wooden man was the first to speak: "Everyone has heard of it, the Mo Dao stone man who circulated a few days ago has one eye, instigating the Taihu Lake world to rebel." ”

Everyone nodded silently, and even a few people with wincing eyes had no choice but to follow the crowd after seeing the reactions of their companions.

Mu Ne man said: "Now the world is difficult, the government is a white surname, not to mention that we have ruined our family, and let us repair the lake embankment for them, what kind of style the government is doing, presumably everyone also sees it, every day people are tired to death, beaten to death, and if it goes on like this, I'm afraid we won't be able to survive for long, but the sky has eyes, let us dig out this one-eyed stone man, just in response to the sentence Mo Dao stone man one eye, provoke the Taihu Lake world to rebel, this is the will of God!"

Speaking of this, the man secretly glanced at a few gloomy people in the crowd, and a young man immediately shouted: "Brother Zhang is right, the government is trying to force us to death, anyway, it's a death, it's better for us to simply do the opposite!"

"yes, it's the fuck back!"

"It's the other way around!"

At this time, a few overseers finally noticed that something was wrong, pointed at this side with whips, and shouted loudly as they walked: "What's going on here?

The wooden man parted from the crowd, and a flattering smile appeared on his face, "The little ones will go to work, and the adults will be angry, angry." ”

As he spoke, the man was less than three feet away from the overseer.

The overseer raised his whip in his hand, and was about to give the river workers a little color, when the wooden man burst into shape and crushed his throat with one hand.

At the same time as the wooden man made his move, several other men also pulled out the daggers they carried from their waists and stabbed the other overseers to death.

The wooden man said in a loud voice: "Brothers, the court doesn't give us a way to live, so why are we still raising this court?

"Yes, it's the other way around!"

"It's the other way around!"

A captain in a red robe looked at the excited people, his lips squirmed, "It's the opposite, it's the opposite, it's really the opposite." What the hell are you still doing in a daze, waiting for these thieves to come and kill them, why don't you hurry up and kill the thieves for me!"

At this moment, Zhang Dingzhong jumped out from behind the pile of rocks.

The big bow with horns in his hand is like a full moon.

The next moment, the red-robed captain was instantly pierced through the head by a feather arrow, and his head fell back, and the feather arrow continued to castrate, penetrating the captain's head, and then nailed into the chest of the person behind the captain before stopping castration, but the tail feathers were still trembling.

Zhang Dingzhong's face was expressionless, and he bent his bow and arrows again.

The arrow knocked the lieutenant off his horse.

The 200 soldiers, who had not experienced much warfare, were in an uproar in an instant.

Zhang Dingzhong took out another feather arrow from the quiver on his waist, condescendingly, and shot another arrow.

Shoot and kill a captain.

At this time, the morale of the nine hundred people was greatly boosted, holding various tools in their hands, and they rushed towards these soldiers together.

I don't know who shouted, and the two hundred soldiers led by the dragons scattered and fled.

Wei Xianji walked out from behind the pile of rocks and said, "Dingzhong, let's go, go to Bailuzhuang and meet Lu Bo, and give it to Brother Zhang and them here." ”

Zhang Dingzhong, who was holding the big bow with horns, nodded silently, put the big bow behind his back, and went in the opposite direction with his friends.

At this time, in the lobby of Bailuzhuang, twenty miles away from Taihu Lake, an old man with white hair and white beard sat on the main seat, with a red scarf tied to his left arm.

Sitting on the lower seat was a middle-aged man with a serious face, he raised his head, glanced at the sun outside, and said: "Uncle Lu, I have already brought the master's words, you can know it in your heart, as for the rest, the master said that you can make full decisions." ”

The old man nodded and said, "You go back and tell the head of the family, as long as you give me another three months, I can make the whole Huzhou burn everywhere." ”
