Chapter 362: The People Changed and Destroyed the Gate
Hearing Zhang San's words, several companions couldn't help but show anger on their faces. These profiteers not only wantonly raised the price of grain for the sake of being rich and unkind, but also sent people to snatch back the grain they had sold.
This kind of behavior is so shameless, too black-hearted, too vicious, it simply doesn't make people live. The bolt said a little angrily: "Third brother, what you said is true? Then let's go to him together and get the food back. Zhang San shook his head and said: "It's useless, we will be beaten out if we go, they are all masked, they won't admit it, the government won't take care of it, maybe it will be towards them." Liu Wudao: "Third brother, what should I do, I lost this dumb man for nothing?" What are you going to do next, and what are you going to do with your two nephews? "What to do?
What else can I do. An ordinary person like himself can only swallow his anger and suffer this kind of dumb loss. Thinking of this, I felt a deep helplessness in my heart, and at the same time, a wave of anger and unwillingness also rose in my heart.
Why? Why do you have to be bullied by others, why can those rich people wantonly bully others, do whatever they want, and don't even leave people a way to live.
Now in this world, there is no way for the poor to live. Since I can't live anymore, why should I swallow my anger anymore and let others bully me again, it's all death anyway, if you don't let me live, I'll pull you to die together.
A fierce gaze appeared in his eyes, and a murderous moment appeared in his heart. With this thought, Zhang San quickly thought about it.
In his case, the conditions in the village are good, and most people in the village are more difficult than him, and they have not eaten the last meal.
If you go to take revenge by yourself, you can only kill one or two people, and it won't cause any damage to the Zhang family, it's too cheap for them.
If you find more people to go with you, maybe you can really wipe out the Zhang family, and then not only will you not be able to die, but you will also be able to get a lot of food to survive this famine.
His two children can also live. Thinking of this, Zhang San secretly made up his mind, if he wanted to live, he could only sacrifice his life to fight, whether it was life or death, then let it be fate, it was better than waiting for death.
Zhang San took a deep breath and asked, "Brothers, do you still have extra food at home?" Everyone shook their heads together and said, "Third brother, you also know our situation, how can there be any food, if it weren't for your help, we wouldn't have survived a long time ago." Zhang San said: "Brothers, do you want to eat enough, do you want to not starve every day?" Do you want to have endless food? When everyone heard this, they looked at each other, not knowing what Zhang San meant by this.
He said in unison: "How strange is the third brother's question, who wants to starve?" Isn't there no way, I dream of having endless food. Zhang Si, who had been silent, suddenly asked, "Third brother, don't you have a way to get food?" When several people heard this, they all looked at Zhang San, and said expectantly: "Third brother, if you really have a way to get food, just say it, and the brothers will not be able to live anymore, even if they take the risk of writing, they will admit it." Hearing the words of several people, Zhang San nodded silently, it's good to have this awareness, and then it's easy to do.
Zhang Sandao: "Brothers, this is not the place to talk, let's go, go to my house, and we will discuss it ourselves." Hearing Zhang San say this, it was obvious that there was a way, and several people were suddenly overjoyed in their hearts and followed Zhang San to his house.
After a few people sat down, they couldn't wait to ask, "Third brother, can you talk about it now, what is the method?" Seeing the anxious looks of several people, Zhang San became more confident, he could live, and no one wanted to die.
Glancing at everyone, Zhang San said: "Brothers, we are all too happy to live, counting on the imperial court for relief, I'm afraid there is no hope, but I don't want to die, let alone let my children starve to death, do you want to die?" Everyone looked at Zhang San and shook their heads, but did not speak, but waited for Zhang San's next words.
Zhang San continued: "The Zhang family can rob my grain, we can also rob him, the Zhang family sells grain, the family has grain, rob the Zhang family's grain, our whole village will not starve, I just don't know brothers, do you have the courage?" ”
"Shhh Several people gasped when they heard this. I can't imagine that the third brother, who is usually honest, would actually have the idea of robbery, which is incredible, it seems that he has really been forced to a dead end.
"Third brother, the Zhang family is in the county seat, if we go to rob the Zhang family, it is likely to alarm the government, there are five hundred people in the county, how many of us are looking for death?"
"Yes, third brother, the Zhang family has raised a lot of thugs, there are dozens, we can't even deal with those thugs, not only can't we grab food, I'm afraid we can't even save our lives, this is not a good idea." Zhang San heard the doubts of several people, and said calmly: "It is naturally impossible to count on a few of us, and all the people in the village who have been cut off from food and cannot continue will be gathered, how can they all die, fight, there is still a glimmer of hope, if you win, you can live, it's better than lying at home and waiting for death, right?" Zhang Sidao: "Third brother, we are willing to fight with you, but even if we gather all the people in the village, there will be only one hundred and ten people, how can we deal with the five hundred officers and soldiers in the county, even if we rob the Zhang family, we can't escape." Several people also nodded silently and looked at Zhang San nervously.
Follow Zhang San to grab food and fight, they have no opinion, but it doesn't mean that they are willing to die.
Zhang San took a deep breath and said: "Brothers, there is no food to eat, and the people who are starving are not only the people in our village, many people have starved to death in Dawang Village next door, and the same situation is in several nearby villages. There is no food to eat, waiting for the dead, there are many people, we can contact a few more people in the village, between life and death, I believe that many people are willing to fight, once they win, they can live. Now there are refugees everywhere, as long as they shout, some people follow us, there should be no problem in gathering a thousand people, those soldiers and horses in the county town are not trained in normal times, they are not much better than us, we have the advantage of numbers, and we are not afraid of them. Several people looked at each other, turned their hearts sideways, and nodded.
Anyway, I can't live anymore, so let's fight together, maybe we can really win. When the time comes, if the posture is not good, it is a big deal to directly open the fire, and so many people will be in a mess, and it will be impossible for the officers and men to find themselves.
Several people agreed on the agreement, and then discussed a plan of action. They each left separately and pulled people into the gang.
At this time, the poor peasants have almost no means of making a living, they are already at the end of the road, and they are all wandering back between life and death, and there is a lack of a leader.
In order to eat a bite and survive, the poor peasants had no choice but to resist and fight for their own destiny.
This is also the reason why the peasant uprisings were all in response to the call from the beginning, with great momentum and vigor.
Soon, the people in the village mobilized and organized more than a hundred strong men, in addition, there were dozens of old and weak people who couldn't survive, and they were willing to fight.
Subsequently, Zhang San and others went to neighboring villages separately to organize people. In just one day, seven or eight villages were contacted and nearly 2,000 people were organized.
In order to be afraid of long nights and dreams, they decided to act immediately, and before dark, everyone went into the county seat separately.
Looking at the crowds of people entering the city one after another, the officers and soldiers at the city gate were also a little puzzled. What's going on today, why are so many people coming into town?
His eyes fell on the waists of these people, and he couldn't help frowning when he saw that many of them had sickles pinned to their waists.
What are so many people trying to do with their scythes in the city? Do you still need a sickle to enter the city? And so many people are entering the city today, it can't be because they want to make trouble, right?
Thinking of this, his eyes glanced at the others, and he saw that the people who did not have scythes were bulging in their arms, and they didn't know what they were hiding.
My heart suddenly burst out, and I hurriedly led someone forward and stopped a group of people.
"What are so many of you doing in the city? Why are you still carrying a scythe, you come here, what is in your arms, take it out and let me see. The people who were stopped happened to be Zhang San and others, and when they were stopped by the officers and soldiers, many people immediately panicked, and their eyes were a little evasive.
These were honest peasants, and they were already a little afraid of the officers and soldiers, but when they went to the city to grab grain this time, they were stopped and asked, and they immediately became frightened.
Zhang Sanyi saw that something bad was going to happen, and hurriedly gave a few people a look. Then he spoke: "This official, we went into the city to buy grain, and the grain we bought in the morning was robbed, so we had no choice but to bring more people to protect the grain, and if we were robbed, we wouldn't be able to live." As he spoke, he stepped forward and soon came to the man's side.
After listening to Zhang San's words, the officers and soldiers relaxed, and they had also talked about the grain grabbing in the city, so it was reasonable.
As soon as the man relaxed, he saw Zhang San take out a dagger from his arms and quickly plunge it into his chest.
"Ah, you ······" The sudden change took him aback, and he was defenseless at all, screaming in pain, and fell down.
Several of Zhang San's brothers took daggers, kitchen knives, or sickles, and quickly pounced on the others.
"Brothers, it's all come to this, follow me in." Zhang San shouted behind him, leaned over and picked up the soldier's long knife and joined the battle group.
Seeing this, the people behind hula surrounded them, quickly dealt with the officers and soldiers guarding the door, picked up their weapons and rushed into the city.
The movement of the city gate quickly attracted the attention of others. The officers and soldiers on duty on the city wall were startled when they saw the crowd rushing into the city, and muttered, "This is the ······ The people have changed, it's not good, the people have changed, go and report it. "Some officers and men who are relatively hard-headed and not very bright-headed did not recognize the situation at all and rushed down to stop them.
There are also some psychic people who see that the situation is not good, so they just take a detour and run away. The officers and soldiers who rushed down to stop the crowd were quickly drowned out in the crowd.
Many people were shocked when they saw this scene, this is a rebellion against officials, doesn't it mean to grab food?
Why did even the officers and soldiers be killed? A few village leaders found Zhang San and asked: "Zhang San, what do you mean by this, don't you mean grabbing grain?" Why did even the officers and soldiers be killed, didn't this become breakfast? Zhang San smiled coldly and said, "Everyone, we have robbed the grain, will these officers and soldiers watch and let us transport it away?" Even if you go back, will the government not trouble you? When the time comes, you will be dead. In order to survive, everyone must work together, today everyone is out of the way, there is revenge, there is revenge, there is revenge, there is revenge, all the corrupt officials, black-hearted businessmen, all killed, in order to be able to survive, everyone fights. ”
"Fight."
"Fight."
"Fight." ······ At first, there were still a few people shouting, but slowly everyone followed the shout, and for a time the shouting shook the sky and alarmed the entire county.
Taking advantage of everyone's morale, Zhang San took everyone and went directly to the Zhang family. The Zhang family never thought that the target of these chaotic people was their own home, and they were directly dumbfounded when they saw the swarming chaotic people.
"What's going on, why did these rioters storm our Zhang family, close the door quickly, and hurry up to the courtyard wall to don't let people break in." But all this was in vain, there were too many chaotic people.
They directly surrounded Zhang's house, directly climbed over the wall, and even a section of the courtyard wall was torn down.
Everyone poured into Zhang's house in an instant, blocking Zhang's family in the house. Seeing this scene, the old man of the Zhang family looked like ashes, and sighed secretly in his heart, it's over, it's all over.
Pretending to be brave to come to the door, he shouted outside: "Fellow villagers, kings, our Zhang family is a serious businessman, please raise your noble hand and let my Zhang family a yard, my Zhang family is willing to send you a batch of grain." Zhang San scolded: "Phew, you black-hearted businessman, the grain is sold so expensive, we poor people can't afford it at all, so we finally scraped together some money and bought some food, and you sent someone to rob it back." This is not to leave us a way to live, the reason why we have come to this point is that we were all forced by you black-hearted and vicious people, today we are here to seek justice, surnamed Zhang, let's die. Brothers, kill them, and the grain will be ours. ”
"Kill them!"
"Kill them!"
"Kill them!" Seeing that everyone was pressing forward step by step, the Zhang family said in horror: "Everyone, all the food of my Zhang family will be given to you, and everything you can see will be given to you, just to spare the lives of my Zhang family." Zhang San said hatefully: "Only now do I know that begging for mercy, it's late, I knew today, why bother in the first place, do you know how many people have been killed because of your raising of food prices?" Zhang Laogou, let's die. As soon as Zhang San's voice fell, he rushed into the house with a knife with a few brothers.
Looking at the old man of the Zhang family who was paralyzed on the ground and trembling, Zhang San stepped forward quickly, unceremoniously raised his knife, and stabbed him in the chest.
"Poof!" A canopy of blood splashed, and the old man of the Zhang family slowly fell to the ground with an unwilling expression.
Zhang San pulled out a big knife and shouted, "Kill them all." ”
