Chapter 108: Extermination
"Even if they have a strip of red cloth tied to them, you can't think they're rebels."
Lu Yangge didn't know much about the current living environment, and when he heard that the knife was tied with a red cloth, he immediately thought that as long as there was any new thing in the wild dock, they would tie a red cloth strip on it to show good luck.
It's just a local custom, and it's all about being associated with the rebels.
"You kid doesn't understand."
Third Brother Zhang finally eased up, but his face was still very ugly, "Everyone in Huaicheng knows about this matter." ”
The rebel army stationed in Huaicheng is also known as the Red Silk Army by the locals.
The difference between the Red Tassels and other rebel armies is that they will have a strip of red cloth tied to their weapons, whether they are swords, guns, or sticks.
Chen Quan rebelled in Huaicheng and married Zhou Yunmei, the eldest daughter of the Zhou family, a local clan, in early May.
Zhou Yunmei changed the red cloth strips of the Red Silk Army into a triangular shape, and embroidered the sun, moon and stars on the three corners to show the difference.
"Use the sun, moon and stars to show the difference?"
Lu Yangge couldn't help but ask curiously, "Uncle Zhang, do you know how this is different?" ”
"I don't know, I still went to Ding's meat case with Brother Lu the day before yesterday to buy meat, and I heard Ding Da mention it, and Ding Da was also listening to the guests who came to buy cooked food on the dock. We don't know about this, but the people in Huaicheng know very well. ”
Lu Quan also nodded: "Yes, I was also there when Brother Ding said it." Are you sure you read that right, though? Is it really the Red Tassels? ”
Third Brother Zhang nodded very affirmatively: "It will definitely not be wrong, I saw with my own eyes, that kid's knife is tied with a red strip of cloth, one corner is embroidered with a crescent moon, and there are two corners that I can't see clearly." ”
It's not that he didn't see it clearly, but that Zhang Sange was afraid of being noticed by the other party, so he didn't dare to take a closer look.
"I heard that their rank in the Red Tassel Army is divided by the sun, moon and stars. Being able to embroider the moon, even if it is the lowest crescent moon, these people's status in the Red Tassel Army is not low. ”
Lu Quan's face was also a little ugly, and what he said was all said by Ding Da from the shippers.
The shipwrecks talked about the painting and color, and Ding University also looked like it, and it was much more brief when he arrived at Lu Quan, but the general meaning was not wrong.
The sun, moon and stars are the logos?
Does the day mean that it is Chen Quan, the leader of the Red Silk Army?
The moon represents the general, and then the identity of the general is set with the change of the full moon and crescent moon.
What about the stars?
It's probably one star from low to high, two stars...... to distinguish. The number of stars is used to distinguish the status of low-level soldiers!
Lu Yangge couldn't help but smile slightly, Chen Quan married the eldest daughter of the Zhou family of the Huaicheng clan as his wife, just so that he could get the help of the Huaicheng family.
This Zhou girl is really cultivated by the family.
Coming up with a way to distinguish leaders from generals and soldiers by the sun, moon and stars is very useful for the reckless old man!
The more people climb up at the bottom, the more they care about their identity.
What was once lacking will swell even more when their rights reach a certain point.
The planner is good at planning, the brave is good at courage, and the wise is good at hiding......
If you want to change your status, make one star become two stars and three stars, and let the crescent moon become a full moon, these people will definitely do their best to change their status.
I just don't know if this Chen Quan had a bad wife before, and he can sit in the position of the leader of the rebel army, Chen Quan is afraid that he will be at least thirty or forty years old.
If Chen Quan's original partner hadn't died, then the Zhou girl she was marrying by Ming Media would be a little interesting!
In the future, Chen Quan's uprising will fail, and once Chen Quan's uprising is really successful.
Is this Zhou's daughter going to be a queen or a concubine?
Lu Yangge's mind was emanating, and he went tens of thousands of miles.
I heard Third Brother Zhang talking in my ears: "In order to test, I also deliberately asked for two hundred yuan for a basket, but that kid really paid one or two silver to buy two small baskets and two eel cages, and he didn't even ask for the money he was looking for." ”
Two hundred wen, that's enough for his family to eat a few full meals.
Zhang Sange didn't expect it to be really sold, you must know that on weekdays, the ordinary big back basket is only six or seven wen, and this kind of delicately dyed small back basket is only fifteen wen at most.
He opened his mouth and shouted two hundred words directly, and his heart was raised at that time. I was afraid that the other party would turn his face, so I chopped him with a knife.
Lu Yangge retracted his thoughts and asked his own question: "Since they are the Red Silk Army, they must all be born poor, how can they be willing to spend two hundred yuan to buy a basket?" ”
And I bought two of them, and gave them one or two pieces of silver, and I didn't want change.
Zhang San also hesitated for a while: "I...... I don't know. ”
Lu Quan hesitated: "It may not be the Red Silk Army, it may be a rich son, right?" ”
"No, it's definitely the Red Tassels."
Third Brother Zhang remembered one thing again, "The young man was dressed ordinary, but the horse was excellent, when the three of them got up and passed in front of me, I could hear the tall and thin man shouting the name of the young man in the brocade clothes in front of him, called...... Song ......"
Lu Yangge: "Song Yunfei." ”
"Yes, yes, it's Song Yunfei." Third Brother Zhang slapped his thigh, "Have you ever seen a rich family's entourage who can call the name of the master of the family." It is only possible that these two retinues were not the retinue of the young man in brocade, but brothers who revolted together. However, the father of the brocade boy should be more powerful. ”
Speaking of this, Third Brother Zhang couldn't help but feel a little annoyed: "If I am more daring, I should follow and see the red scarf tied on the horsewhip of the young man in brocade." ”
Lu Yangge pondered for a while: "I heard Shopkeeper Li mention before that Chen Quan is from Dongyang County. I listened to Song Yunfei's accent, like the accent of the people in the Qingfeng Village area. If Chen Quan is from Dongyang County, then this group of people today is likely to be bandits from Qingfeng Village who revolted with Chen Quan. ”
Lu Quan: "Chen Quan is from Dongyang County? ”
Third Brother Zhang: "Song Yunfei is from Qingfeng Village?" ”
Both were in disbelief.
Chen Ping'an was trying to think that he seemed to have heard the young man in brocade shouting at the dock today. However, the dock was in a mess, and he didn't hear what the man was shouting.
"But ......"
Lu Quan looked at Lu Yangge in front of him, hesitated, and still didn't finish his words.
Third Brother Zhang didn't have Lu Quan's concerns: "But hasn't Qingfeng Village been exterminated by the government?" ”
Lu Yangge smiled: "That's only what the government said, no one has seen it." ”
When everyone returned home, seven families gathered together, and Zhang Sange told him about his encounter with the rebels from the beginning.
A room full of people, men and women react differently.
The first thing that came to the man's mind was that the rebels were exactly as they claimed: everywhere was uneven, and no one was left unfed. People in the world have fields, and people in the world plough together.
This is to put all their poor people and those big families on the same level, so there is no such thing as Zhang Sange selling a basket for 200 yuan, and he was not killed.
What the women thought of was, just after this day, why is God so blind?
They don't care who becomes the emperor in the court, as long as they can keep their family fed and clothed.
The children were all excited, a small basket could be sold for 200 yuan, and the rebels were too rich.
If they came from Huaicheng, wouldn't they be able to buy land and build houses by selling baskets?
