Chapter 254: The Heavenly Tiger Army Enters Shandong
"What's going on... Little Liu.. Brother, I see that you are almost at the age of starting a family, since this girl is interested in you, I won't let you marry and become a wife... It's okay to make a second room! The man laughed as he spoke, and after speaking, he left Xiaoliu and walked out of the courtyard.
"This... This, this, this! This is not! ”
The woman saw that Xiaoliu had no idea for a long time, and immediately began to cry bitterly.
Where had he seen such a scene, Xiao Liu had to nod first and said, "I.. I'm just a little handyman... If you are not an official, if you are willing to go with me... Then let's go back first."
When the woman heard this, her face was like a peach blossom blooming.
nodded shyly and smilingly, although the surrounding scene didn't look like it was emotional, but one was born in a hard life, and the other was begging for a life between swords and swords.
How can you care about that.
"Then let me go."
Outside the courtyard gate, the three or two factory guards were waiting for the little six to come out.
The same is true of the eldest brother just now, seeing Xiao Liu walking out of the room with a red face and a woman behind him, everyone burst into laughter!
They all joked about Xiaoliu: "Hahaha! I can't even imagine how you'll have to explain to the boss when you go back."
The woman behind her had not yet spoken.
Xiao Liu spoke first: "I've grown up too, what are you afraid of!" ”
"Hahaha! Yes, yes, yes! Little Liu, grow up! You are a high-achieving student from Zhili, and you will be better than us in the future! ”
..
At this point, the White Lotus Sect in this village was wiped out by Dongchang in one fell swoop, and Wei Zhongxian's arrangements were far more than that.
The same picture is not only in the northern part of Henan.
It is also being played out in other provinces.
The White Lotus Rebellion in Shandong was also in full swing, and the scale of tens of thousands of people swelled rapidly in less than half a month.
This expansion has gradually evolved into a different situation.
made the initiator Li Zhixiang feel a little strange, that is, all this came too smoothly, so smooth that it made him panic.
The main manifestation is that during this time, they have captured three county towns in the Yanzhou region.
There was little decent resistance.
Often, before the tide of the people arrived, the entire county town had become an empty city, although a lot of belongings may have not been taken with them because they were in too haste.
But it seems that all this can't be the attitude of the imperial court...
"Report! Chieftain... It seems that the officers and soldiers of the imperial court are coming..."
Just as Li Zhixiang was thinking wildly, a person in armor broke in, but it was obviously a peasant who put on the leather armor he had collected in the county town.
No matter how you look at it, it seems a bit nondescript.
"Ahh How many centaurs are there? Where has it been.. Quick, prepare the horses... I'm out of town! Sitting on the high hall where only the county magistrate could sit, Li Zhixiang stood up like a frightened foal after hearing the news.
It was as if the imperial court was going to kill him in the next second, and he didn't have the slightest intention of resisting.
Mended.
But the soldier who came to deliver the message said, "There are only about 3,000 people."
As soon as these words came out, even Li Zhixiang was stunned, now the White Lotus Sect's uprising is huge, although it is boasted to the outside world that there are already 500,000, but there is a lot of water mixed in it.
But even if this is the case, at least there are nearly 10,000 serious White Lotus Sect members who can be relied on!
With so many troops in hand, there are hundreds of thousands of people to drive themselves.
The imperial court sent such a few people?
Li Zhixiang felt that even if he had more than 100,000 people, one person could drown the so-called army of the imperial court with a mouthful of foam.
So he sat down again.
Holding back the discomfort in his heart, he pretended to be calm and said, "Oh? Where are you?"
"We're still thirty miles away."
As soon as I heard this.
Li Zhixiang stood up again and scolded loudly: "What the hell is going on, there are only thirty miles left!" Did you just find out? ”
The messenger was a peasant, and he didn't know how to answer this question for a while.
I had to remind him: "We don't have a sentry either... There's no one to explore the horse or anything, so I still see it by relying on the eyes of many people..."
Hold your forehead and sigh.
Compared with the rebel army pulled out by the courier surnamed Li in the later period of history, the current uprising of the White Lotus Sect in Shandong is simply a rabble.
The White Lotus Sect, which is in its early 10,000s, has a solid foundation and tens of thousands of people as its driving force.
But what about the inside?
It is not at all like the Dashun peasant uprising of the courier surnamed Li, there is a clear division of labor and an organized army, although it is mainly based on crowd tactics.
But what period is the Great Shun in history..
It was a period when the imperial court was harsh on taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and if you didn't rebel, you would have to die.
What time is it.
It is the people whose lives are gradually getting better and better under the various new policy reforms of the imperial court.
Now that he can accompany the White Lotus Sect to rebel, it is just because he has been bewitched, and this reason is not at all worth the strong reason for not having enough to eat.
The latter is a rebellion that occurs when the problem of food and clothing on the physiological level is not solved.
Now.. It's just that he was coerced by the White Lotus Sect.
Therefore, most of the people did not even realize that they were rebelling, but only thought that they were participating in some kind of ritual in the White Lotus Sect.
The dirty work in the secret, similar to killing, burning and looting, was all secretly instructed by Li Zhixiang to be done by some people close to him.
..
The battle flag is flying, the military flag is waving!
Behind the solemn black uniforms of the Heavenly Tiger Army was a neat and uniform military array.
The Great Tomorrow Tiger Army, armed with a new type of musket, led the army by Feng Kuoyang, the brigade commander of the Second Brigade of the Fifth Division of the Great Tomorrow Tiger Army.
"Alas. This rebellion of the White Lotus Sect in Shandong has finally dispatched us over... I don't know what these people think. ”
Behind the complaint, it was actually Feng Kuoyang's depressed mood for coming to Shandong to undertake such a drudgery this time.
The brigade staff officer on the side hurriedly persuaded: "Brigade commander... In my opinion, it should be regarded as a chance for the brothers to go on a long trip! ”
"Far away? You see... This is a difficult thing to do, and I don't think I will even have a chance to shoot in the end. ”
In fact, Feng Kuoyang was really right, it was good that he didn't see the Heavenly Tiger Army, but the Heavenly Tiger Army was getting closer and closer to the county town occupied by the White Lotus Sect, and a large number of people filled both sides of the road.
It's just that Feng Kuoyang had already done his homework on this.
The pace of progress was slow, and most of the time it was trying to persuade the people to disperse.
And the original White Lotus cultists who were interspersed among the people.
has already started the runaway mode, entrenched in the county and reluctant to come out, and only these people are left outside the city.
