Yang Jiamo and Xie Longwen are also desperate, and even eat and live on the city tower.

Xie Longwen even took out all the goods and personally led people to send them to the soldiers, so as not to be deducted by any ghost thing.

It's a pity that he has only been the magistrate of the county for two and a half months, and if it weren't for the collection of autumn grain and a wave of money, he would not even have the money to recruit soldiers now. But there is still not enough money and food, and the silver does not need to be distributed again this month, but the food is consumed every day.

"I'm running out of food," Xie Longwen said in a low voice, "I can last two or three days at most, and the big families in the city don't want to donate food." ”

Yang Jiamo frowned and said: "These big families don't know, they will also be finished after the city is broken?" ”

Xie Longwen sighed and said: "In the summer, the thieves attacked once. A big family has no money, but they still maintain law and order, killing some people who take advantage of the fire to rob. The big families in the city are not afraid of the anti-thieves, but they are afraid that after donating food and help, they will be liquidated and retaliated by the anti-thieves in the future. ”

The last time Huang Qi raided Fengcheng County, because the troops were too small, and it was during the war, he didn't even force the big families to release the house slaves.

Yang Jiamo asked: "Which grain merchant in the city has the most grain?" ”

Xie Longwen replied: "Zhou and Wan. ”

"These two families must have colluded with the thieves," Yang Jiamo said, "I will lead the troops to raid the Zhou family, and you will lead the troops to raid the Wanjia family, and we will do it on the third watch tonight." ”

Yang Jiamo said: "Don't leak the news, among the county officials, there are the children of these two families. I have been in office for less than three months, and many of the relationships have not yet been clarified, and I don't know which of the soldiers are involved with these two families. ”

On the other side, the county officials, the master book, and the canonical history are also discussing.

"This Yang Jiamo is too cautious, and he can't poison at all. He didn't drink the wine he was given, but ate with the soldiers. ”

"Hey, my military power has also been taken away, and this guy has let a few gangs lead the army!"

"Zhixian or not going down to the city tower?"

"I never went back to the county office, but only ate and slept with the soldiers in the city tower."

"If you don't just set fire to it tonight, as long as the fire is burned, there will definitely be chaos in the city, and the rebels outside the city will be able to come in."

"It's not good to set fire, it's all neighborhoods, and when it burns, it's a big area."

"Otherwise, what else can I do, the three of us and the other three have been transferred out of the city gate, and it is impossible to take dozens of henchmen to take the city?"

"Think about it again, what if the governor brings troops to the rescue and guards Fengcheng County?"

"The governor is coming, he has been here a long time ago, it has been five days, and there is no shadow of the officers and soldiers."

"Wait another day, if the governor doesn't come to help, then we'll set fire to the city."

“……”

Outside the city.

Li Zheng and Huang Qi were injured, and Fei Yinghui was temporarily promoted to commander.

Although Huang Shun and Jiang Dashan are more qualified, everyone knows that Fei Yinghui is the fourth uncle of Zhao Han and Fei Ruhe. Moreover, Fei Yinghui also has the ability to do it herself, and the other generals are convinced.

"Mr. Zhao, there is a righteous army to vote!"

Fei Yinghui immediately walked out of the camp and went to greet the rebels in person, which was already the second batch.

The people of Fengcheng County were miserable, and they were plundered by officers and soldiers in turn in the summer. Seeing the autumn grain harvest, the new magistrate began to exploit again, not to mention the tenants, many small landlords could not survive.

At this moment, a scholar led thousands of peasants, carrying a lot of grain with livestock, and stood outside the camp and waited quietly.

Seeing the generals of the righteous army coming out, the scholar immediately bowed his hand and said: "Fengcheng Luo Gongqin, I have seen all the generals. The court was unreasonable, corrupt officials exploited it, and landlords abused the people. Wen Yishi besieged the county seat, and dared to kill the landlord to start an incident, and was willing to sacrifice his life to follow Mr. Luling Zhao! ”

"Everyone, please come in!" Fei Yinghui said happily.

The rebel army of less than 3,000 people, after besieging the city for five days, the strength of the army soared to 5,000 people, all of whom spontaneously revolted to vote!

As soon as Luo Gongqin was settled, Fei Yinghui didn't have time to rest, and suddenly another peasant army defected.

This time, there are only more than 100 people, but their identities are very peculiar, there are eight children of the clan, and they also drag their families to bring them over.

The descendants of the Zhu family!

As soon as they heard that there was a clan work, including Fei Yinghui, they were very surprised, and they came to watch the strangeness.

The leader is called Zhu Yirong, and the name is wrong, and the last word should be next to "fire". As for the other seven clans, they don't even have typesetting, and there are names like Zhu Gui and Zhu Fu.

Huang Shun asked curiously: "Brother Zhu, you are a clan, how can you ...... How can you rebel? ”

It is undeniable that these anti-thief leaders, let alone encounter the vassal king, even if they encounter the down-and-out clan, they are all weak-hearted, and they can't help but feel awe.

Zhu Yirong sighed and said: "I want to teach you to know that my ancestor is the lineage of King Huai, the king of Dexing County." Emperor Taizu had rules that the clan could not farm, take the imperial examination, do not do business, and could not be a craftsman. I still studied, changed my name and surname, and secretly went to the countryside to work as a tutor to make a living. But this Zhu noble brother," Zhu Yirong said, pointing to a clan, "he carries bags and works as coolies at the docks." ”

Another clan sighed, "I also worked as a beggar for two years. ”

Everyone looked at each other with incredible expressions on their faces.

Huang Qi asked, "Shouldn't the clan be raised by the government?" ”

Zhu Yirong replied: "The prefect of Raozhou, allocate all the money and grain to the Huaiwang Mansion." The king of the county will definitely be able to receive food, but the generals and lieutenants below (clan titles) may not be able to receive rice grain. My uncle is a lieutenant in Fengguo, and he eats 200 stones, and his family has never eaten enough for a day. The low-level clan is not even as good as a tenant. Our Lu rice has been greedy by King Huai! ”

These words completely subverted everyone's three views, and they all felt sympathy for these clans.

In fact, this situation was already very common during the Zhengde and Jiajing periods. At the end of Zhengde, some clans were out of food for several years, and countless dragon sons and grandsons begged for a living.

Zhu Yirong also said: "Some time ago, the people of Raozhou rose up, broke through the palace and occupied the palace. Many of our clans also joined the gang to rebel, but unfortunately they couldn't defeat the officers and soldiers in the end. Hearing that Mr. Luling Zhao was benevolent and righteous, we fled all the way down the Fu River. Halfway through, he learned that there was a rebel army in Fengcheng County, so he came over to defect to several generals. ”

Fei Yinghui sighed and said: "Alas, the court has no way, and even the clan rebelled, how can this Ming Dynasty not die?" ”

These clans are like being called Huazi, Fei Yinghui entertained them well, and finally let them have a full meal.

In the afternoon, someone sent a secret letter, but he refused to tell his origin.

There are only two sentences in the secret letter: "The governor has no intention of sending troops, beware of officers and soldiers sneaking up on Jishui along the Wujiang River." ”

Fei Yinghui convened the generals to discuss the matter, and Gu Jianshan also went ashore.

"Could this letter be false?" Huang Qi asked.

Fei Yinghui said: "It should be true, the governor was frightened, and the general soldiers did not dare to rescue when they were surrounded." ”

They besieged Fengcheng for several days, and they did not intend to attack the city, but besieged the city to send reinforcements, wanting to eliminate the governor's reinforcements.

Gu Jianshan said: "The main force of our sailors is here, if there is really an enemy coming along the Wujiang River, I am afraid it will be difficult to deal with." They can plunder villages and towns, and it will be difficult for the Jishui defenders to catch up. ”

"Let's go back, I'll take responsibility for the problem." Fei Yinghui said.

Huang Shun said: "I also agree with the sailor to go back, even if the governor leads troops to rescue Fengcheng, we are not afraid." Perhaps, after the sailor left, the governor would dare to come and send him to death! ”

Li Zheng was hit by an arrow in the cheek, lost two teeth, and couldn't speak for the time being, so he clapped his hands in agreement.

After everyone agreed, Gu Jianshan immediately evacuated with the water division, but left the hundreds of armors behind.

Night.

Yang Jiamo and Xie Longwen led troops to raid the big households, all the men of the Zhou family were killed, and the Wan family was arrested and taken to the county jail.

The crime is collusion with thieves!

The big families in the city were frightened, but they didn't dare to move, so they could only connect in private.

"What are you waiting for? Waiting to die? ”

A young man shouted: "The thieves don't know when the siege will be, and the Nanchang reinforcements have not moved at all." If Yang Jiamo runs out of food, you and I will follow in the footsteps of Zhou and Wanjia! ”

"Be quiet, be quiet!"

Another elderly gentry said: "The old man thinks that if he can donate some money and food to the officers and soldiers, they will not kill people if they have food." What's more, the grain looted from the Zhou and Wan families was enough for the defenders in the city to eat for a month or two. ”

The young man said angrily: "In my opinion, it is better to be a thief!" ”

"The old man has land outside the city," said another gentry, "tens of thousands of acres of land, and the thieves are gone, so the thieves are going to divide the fields!" ”

"Extremely short-sighted," the young man scoffed, "do you think that this Fengcheng County can still be defended?" Once the city is broken, whether you want it or not, you will divide the land at that time. Sooner or later, sooner or later, why not dedicate the city now? ”

A gentry sneered: "Your Tu family is not afraid of dividing the land, and there are two or three thousand acres of land outside the city." ”

Many gentry broke up unhappily, they were weak in the face of the thieves, and they were equally weak in the face of officers and soldiers, and they could only be tough in the face of the small people.

Tu Changhan returned home and took out a copy of "Datong Collection" from under his pillow.

He had no resistance to dividing the fields, because the Tu family made profits from business. At the same time, Tu Changhan is still a talent and has the ambition to help the world, and he appreciates the content of "Datong Collection".

Sleeping until midnight, Tu Changhan was awakened by the noise.

But it was a fire in the city, and as soon as this thing burned a large area, the neighbors in the neighborhood took the initiative to put out the fire.

Tu Changhan took the opportunity to gather the house slaves, raised his sword and shouted: "There is no way in the court, Mr. Luling Zhao will win the world." You slaves can also be favored by Mr. Zhao. Now that there is a fire in the city, Mr. Zhao will act internally, and they will all follow me to take the city and make meritorious contributions! Each of them came and got a tael of silver! ”

"Young master, no," the housekeeper was shocked, "The old man's bones are not cold, the young master will act like this, it will bring disaster to the Tu family, and the old master can't feel at ease under the nine springs!" ”

Tu Changhan was furious: "If you make any more noise, I will behead you!" ”

Not long after, Tu Changhan rushed to the city gate with more than 20 house slaves, carrying sticks, shouting along the way: "Anti-thieves have entered the city, anti-thieves have entered the city!" ”

"Don't panic, don't run away!"

Yang Jiamo and Xie Longwen, as well as Yang Jiamo's two surviving family members, guarded the four city walls in the southeast, northwest and northwest respectively.

However, there are twelve gates in Fengcheng County!

When many of the guards saw the fire in the city, they were afraid that it would burn to their homes, so they wanted to go home and help put out the fire. When they heard the shouts one after another, they thought that the thieves had already infiltrated the city, and they scattered their daughters and slipped away.

Yang Jiamo beheaded several people in a row, but he still couldn't suppress the rout.

At this moment, before the troops were even sent outside the city, these defenders were already frightened.
