There are many prominent families in Ji'an Province, but which surname has the most people?

Liu.

Liu Fa, the son of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty and the king of Changsha, gave birth to a total of sixteen sons, one of whom was named the Marquis of Ancheng and governed Anfu, Yongxin, Taihe and other counties.

Generations have multiplied, and they have spread all over Ji'an counties and even throughout Jiangxi.

There are thousands of villages in Ji'an, and the whole village is surnamed Liu!

At this moment, Chen Maosheng is in the home of the Liu family of Jizhou Tang - the head and ancestral house of the big clan, and it will definitely not be in the city, because the city cannot accommodate it at all.

The family was a businessman, so they moved to the city to settle down, but they also had land in the countryside.

"The king spares his life, the king spares his life!"

They thought that Chen Maosheng had come to loot, so Hulala knelt on the ground. He even took the initiative to offer goods and food, just to satisfy the appetite of the thief, hoping that the thief would not kill anyone.

Chen Maosheng said: "Mr. Zhao founded the Datong Association, what is Datong? Datong is in the countryside, that is, everyone has a field to cultivate, everyone has food, and everyone has clothes to wear. There are no peasants in the city, but there are many domestic slaves in the city......"

"There is no high or low in Datong, the gentry and merchants are people, and the slaves are not people? Under Mr. Zhao's rule, there were no more domestic slaves, and all domestic slaves were released. We don't want silver, we don't want food, Datong will be the master of the miserable, you quickly get the deed of sale of the house slaves! ”

Liu Dingzhong looked at these thieves stupidly, and thought for a while that he had misheard.

The thieves didn't want gold, silver, or food, but they came to free the house slaves?

"Hurry up, bring the deed of sale of the house slave, I have to leave the next family!" Chen Maosheng reprimanded angrily.

Liu Dingzhong was frightened, and hurriedly said, "I...... I'll go get it. ”

Before the deed of sale arrived, Chen Maosheng continued to promote: "Brothers and sisters of domestic slaves, don't be afraid. Don't hide it from everyone, Mr. Zhao has also been a house slave before......"

"Boom!"

The courtyard was in an uproar, and the house slaves were shocked inexplicably, the thief leader who occupied the city this time was actually a house slave!

In addition to shock, there is also some excitement.

Chen Maosheng said again: "Mr. Zhao is a house slave, I used to be an actor, and we are all sluts." But who in the world is not a slut? Tenants are tenant slaves, peasant households are serfs, workers are hired slaves, and soldiers are military slaves. Even those who read books don't make people slaves? If you become an official, you are an official slave, and if you take the imperial examination, you are a slave. Who can be nobler than whom? ”

"Those who are willing to go with us will be brothers and sisters in the future. I want to farm the land and divide the land for you, and I want to do work to find you a job. No one dares to bully you anymore, no one dares to beat and scold you anymore, you yourself are your own masters. Look at the people behind me, Chen Huai, what did you do before? ”

"Drama."

"Liu Zhenzong, what did you do before?"

"Hehe, I'm the house slave of Master Liu in Meitang Town."

"Liu Gao, what did you do before?"

"I am the house slave of Master Liu in Baisha Town."

"Xiao Zhong, what did you do before?"

"I am the house slave of Master Xiao in Huangqiao Town."

"Are you all well fed now?"

"Eat your fill."

"But anyone dares to beat and scold you?"

"Fuck it!"

“……”

Looking at the majestic Chen Maosheng and his men, many domestic slaves began to feel envious.

Whether a house slave is doing well or not depends purely on the character of the master, and this is often the most unreliable thing.

Take Xu Xiake as an example, he is quite friendly to domestic slaves, but what about him? One of Xu Xiake's sons was later killed by a domestic slave riot.

When the small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty resisted the Qing Dynasty, countless domestic slaves rose up, and they would rather take refuge in the Manchu Qing Dynasty than overthrow their masters!

Historically, the thieves in Shaanxi only hit Huguang, and the domestic slaves in the provinces south of the Yangtze River rose up one after another.

Daming is full of powder kegs, and the slightest touch of sparks will explode.

Finally, Liu Dingzhong found the deed of sale of the domestic slave and dedicated it to Chen Maosheng with trepidation.

Chen Maosheng read the names one by one, and after reading them, he asked, "Who else didn't bring the deed?" ”

"Me!"

A house slave stood up: "My deed is not there. ”

Chen Maosheng smiled and said, "Master Liu, you are not honest." ”

"Find, look for it immediately, it must be a leak!" Liu Dingzhong hurriedly said.

After a while, a few more identity deeds were sent.

Chen Maosheng burned all the deeds of sale in public and said to the domestic slaves: "Who wants to go with me?" No more by the master's bird anger! ”

Three people came forward one after another.

Chen Maosheng said: "Have you ever been deducted from your monthly money? ”

"I've been deducted every month." Said a house slave.

Chen Maosheng pointed to the silver on the ground: "Take back what you have been deducted, don't take too much indiscriminately." ”

The three house slaves immediately went to get the silver, but they dared to take two or three taels more.

Seeing this, a few more house slaves came out and took the silver and stood behind Chen Maosheng.

Among them was a pair of brothers and sisters, the elder brother was twelve or thirteen years old, and the younger sister was only seven or eight years old.

"The rest don't want to go?"

Chen Maosheng glanced at it: "It's okay if you don't leave, they are all hard-working brothers and sisters, I will help you change the identity deed to the employment deed." ”

If the contract is re-signed on the spot, this thing will definitely be useless, and the owner will turn his face and deny it when he turns around.

However, as long as the master does not admit it, the house slave must be resentful.

Chen Maosheng took eight liberated house slaves and immediately went to the next house, but he really didn't rob the silver and food.

Liu Dingzhong sat stupidly on the ground, looking at the money and food around him, looking at the house slaves around him, and there was a sense of absurdity of dreaming.

Running through all the mansions in the south of the city, Chen Maosheng took a total of 51 house slaves, most of whom still did not want to leave their masters, even if they would be abused, beaten and scolded in the future.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Maosheng recruited more than a dozen actors.

He even went to the brothel of the Qinglou, and there were six prostitutes who were willing to go with him, and there were as many as nine turtle fathers who took the initiative to follow - Chen Maosheng and those turtle fathers were all cuckolds!

Zhang Tieniu went to the dock to recruit people, recruited more than 20 coolies, and took away more than 70 coolies' families.

Xiao Huan and Ouyang Steam, the two scholars, looked at those house slaves, coolies, prostitutes and turtle fathers, and the expressions on their faces were quite strange.

Ouyang Steam sneered disdainfully: "Your male lord, just rely on these people to fight the world?" ”

"Alas," Xiao Huan sighed with emotion, "Mr. is really a god, and who in the whole world can afford to look down on the lowly?" Sir rescued them, and they swore to follow them. ”

At this moment, countless people rushed to tell each other, and groups of people took the initiative to join the army.

These people are a special group, and they almost form a class in Daming.

Nomad class!

A large number of peasants who had lost their land flocked to the cities to work for a living. They are fugitive peasants in the countryside and homeless people in the cities, and can only do some very lowly jobs. Some of them joined the trade, some became street vendors, most of them worked as coolies, and many became beggars.

You can understand it as the Ming Dynasty version of migrant workers, and these migrant workers do not have ID cards.

Zhang Tieniu recruited coolies at the docks, and word spread quickly, and countless homeless people flocked to join the army, and they were also real proletarians, and many of them were bachelors without families.

Zhao Han was shocked, there were more than 2,000 people who joined the army!

……

Anfu County.

The mob north of Heshui turned into a rogue, and they crossed the mountains and mountains to Anfu County, and they grew to tens of thousands of people all the way!

There were so many people that the thief leader forgot what his surname was, and actually ran to attack the county seat.

Well, it's not dementia.

Under normal circumstances, let alone tens of thousands of people, thousands of people can take down the county seat.

However, the governor ran fast by boat, and arrived first with his troops, and had already rushed to camp outside the county seat.

When the detective learned that a thief had thrown himself into the trap, Xie Xuelong immediately let the ship sail elsewhere. He led 1,000 men into the city to hide, sent 1,500 men to hide in Menggangling, and sent 1,000 to ambush in the woods southwest of the county.

The leader of the thieves, "Zhen Luoxiao", didn't even know how to send spies, so he stupidly came to attack the city with tens of thousands of people.

"Kill the thief!"

Suddenly, the city tower sounded with drums, Xie Xuelong played his handsome flag, and a thousand townsmen and officials erected countless flags.

Zhen Luoxiao was inexplicably frightened, and shouted in fear: "There is an ambush, retreat quickly!" ”

Tens of thousands of thieves immediately retreated in panic, and Xie Xuelong personally led his soldiers out of the city to chase after them, so frightened that the thieves didn't even want food.

The southwest ambush suddenly came out, and the thieves completely collapsed.

Of the 1,500 ambush soldiers in Menggangling, 1,000 have gone around to the south to block the thieves' retreat.

The thieves saw the banner from afar, and ran to the east in fright, followed by five hundred ambush soldiers from Menggangling.

Many thieves knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, and many more thieves fled to the northeast, completely panicking, because what was waiting for them was the Lushui River.

Tens of thousands of thieves were wiped out in World War I, and there were zero casualties among officers and soldiers.

"Fu Shuai uses soldiers like a god, as if Yang Ming Gong is alive," Zuo Xiaocheng complimented, "I admire it in my later life!" ”

Xie Xuelong frowned: "Then why hasn't Zhao Thief shown up yet?" ”

Li Zongxue guessed: "It must have been aware of the whereabouts of the officers and soldiers, and they were so frightened that they hid in some big mountain." ”

"If this thief is not removed, my heart will not be at ease," Xie Xuelong instructed, "Send more spies to search, once you find the traces of the Zhao thief, even if you enter the mountain, you have to go and kill it quickly!" ”

Thousands of thieves were captured, but Xie Xuelong did not kill indiscriminately.

He screened the head of the thief and cut off his head, selected 300 young and strong people as the villagers, and waited for the rest to be put back for spring ploughing next year.

After waiting in Anfu County for two days, the spies rode mules and horses around, but there was still no news from Zhao Han.

Xie Xuelong began to become impatient, and this situation was too uncomfortable.

"Urgent military situation, urgent military situation!"

A clipper ship approached, standing outside the city and shouting anxiously.

This person was taken to see the governor, and he knelt down and said: "Fu Shuai, the city of Ji'an Mansion is gone, and all the officials of Ji'an Mansion and Luling County have been martyred!" ”

"What?"

Xie Xuelong was stunned and stood on the spot, and several staff members and generals were also dumbfounded.

Li Zongxue got up and asked, "There are 800 guards in the city, and the city is high and deep, how can it be captured by the thieves?" ”

The messenger wept with a sad face: "According to the escaped guards, the eunuch Zhang Yin forcibly took seven hundred and fifty people out of the city to defend his money and mansion. The anti-thieves attacked the camp at night, and then entered the city by fraud, killing the officials and men in one go! ”

"Emasculation is abominable! Kill, kill! ”

Xie Xuelong was so angry that he trembled, and suddenly drew his sword and cut it down, cutting off a corner of the case.

This battle can't be fought, and once you return to the city, the thieves will definitely run. If you don't run along the river, Xie Xuelong, who doesn't have cavalry, won't be able to pursue it at all.

He had too few soldiers and lacked training to make a big encirclement.

Even if you know that it is useless to go back to the city, even if you know that you will be led by the nose by the thief. But Xie Xuelong still has to go back, and the fall of Fucheng is a big crime. Once a huge loss is inflicted, the impeachment of the gentry and officials can easily get him, the governor, to prison.

"Return to Fucheng!"

Xie Xuelong felt so tired that he wanted to strangle the eunuch to death with his own hands.

And in Yongxin County, far to the west, Li Banghua, who is in charge of the big detour, wants to strangle the magistrate to death!
