When Zhang Mu was lecturing, there were not only children but also many adults around him.

At first, they were relatively resistant to listening to the lectures, but unfortunately, what Zhang Mu expounded seemed to be closely related to themselves.

Then, it gradually turned from a lecture to a lecture.

More and more people are listening.

As a result, the entire Longyan Township began to be not so stable.

There are too many things that Zhang Mu has spread.

Exploitation, the fruits of labor, resistance, man, hand, landlord, class, struggle, organization, etc., etc., etc.

Thought is also a weapon.

Zhang Mu wanted to theoretically and thoroughly characterize the entire landlord class as an enemy, and at the same time, he formally proposed that armed struggle must be fought and the fruits of one's labor must be regained.

More and more people are coming to the lectures.

Gradually, they learned a song.

It's called "Datong Song"

Arise, hungry and cold slaves,

Arise, all the suffering people of the world!

Full of blood has boiled,

Fight for the truth!

The old world is a falling flower,

Slaves, get up, get up!

Don't say we have nothing,

We want to be the masters of the world!

This is the final struggle,

Unite until tomorrow!

……

……

This singing, singing, I feel that my whole body is full of strength, as if there are countless blood gushing out in the chest, Longyan Township, Dusi Township, Zhaoji Town, Liuji Town, Zhanglou Township, Peiying Township, Jiulong Township...... All began to be promoted.

And Zhang Mu is also calmly selecting ghostwriters from various villages, and when the time comes, he will immediately start to destroy the wood.

First of all, it is necessary to start in Longyan Township.

At least, the number of martial arts teams under his command should be expanded to 500 to 1,000 people, and the population of the entire Longyan Township, Zhang Mu roughly estimated that it was about 12,000 people, and the number of people fighting on the ground was about 10 to 1.

In addition, Zhang Mu has always been staring at the county seat and Dengzhou County.

To Zhang Mu's surprise, Dengzhou County did not take any action, and after the hundred households were exterminated, they did not take any action.

On the one hand, Deng Zhou County ordered Wen Daozhou to get the news that the hundred households had been defeated by Zhang Mu and captured alive, the time was already seven days later.

Discipline is lax

He knew the news that the hundred households had been exterminated, and he only knew it after Zhang Mu sent away the group of people who were unwilling to stay, and only heard the reports of Lijia from other villages.

If this is the case, Zhang Mu would not be so easy to do propaganda, ideological classes, and speeches, for Wen Daozhou, a small coward, he only needs to increase the intensity of encirclement and suppression.

However, this is not the case.

At this juncture, an even bigger trouble went straight to Dengzhou County.

King Chuang, Gao Yingxiang is here!

This is not Zhang Mu's kind of sitting coward, the number of people is only a few hundred people at best, this is the king of Gao Yingxiang, tens of thousands of troops, Gao Yingxiang coerced a large number of people to form a rogue and Lu Xiangsheng, Zu Kuan fought unfavorably, and then went straight to Nanyang Mansion.

Wen Daozhou only felt that he had a headache.

And at this juncture, Xiao Pan Juren and Liu Wenyuan came again, Liu Wenyuan was thinking about his own property, and Xiao Pan Juren also felt that Zhang Mu was a guy who would not die for a day, and he would still have trouble sleeping after all.

"Both!"

Wen Daozhou looked at Xiao Pan Juren and Liu Wenyuan, and suppressed the anger in his heart.

In any case, Xiao Pan Ju and Liu Wenyuan are both gentry, they are considered to be strong, and if they offend them, it will be difficult to collect the taxes on their side, and besides, if they want to make political achievements in the future, build bridges and pave roads, they will also rely on the local gentry, and it is not good to have a stiff relationship with them.

This Wen Dao said: "Now, this Zhang Mu is not easy to deal with!" ”

"How?"

Xiao Pan Juren naturally knew that the officers and soldiers were defeated, and it was to urge Wen Daozhou to hurry up and eliminate Zhang Mu as soon as possible, Wen Daozhou said: "I can't hide it, I got the news a few days ago that the thief Gao Yingxiang went straight to Nanyang Mansion, and eighty percent of them were coming to Dengzhou!" ”

Xiao Pan Juren and Liu Wenyuan suddenly gasped.

He was talking

Outside the door, Master Huang Guoren came to the back hall quickly, first saluted, and then spoke quickly: "Master, there is a town guard eunuch Chen An outside to worship the door!" ”

"The town guard eunuch?"

Wen Daozhou was slightly stunned, and then said, "Quick, please let him in!" ”

Then, I saw a eunuch walking in quickly, although this Chen An is a dead eunuch, but his body is extremely burly, his palms are broad, and he is obviously also the master who can fight on the battlefield.

"I've seen my father-in-law!" Wen Daozhou didn't want to offend Chen An too much, and he should be polite when he should be polite.

Chen An waved his hand: "Lord Wen, come here, this is to help you defend the city, and I brought a total of five hundred people here!" ”

"Five hundred, five hundred people are a fart, it's better to call Lu Xiangsheng over, can you be a dead eunuch to stop tens of thousands of people?"

Wen Daozhou muttered in his heart, but there was a smile on his face: "With my father-in-law's help, if I think about it, this Dengzhou must be impregnable!" ”

Chen An said: "Our family came here today, first, to help you defend the city, and second, there is still an edict from the imperial court!" ”

"An edict from the imperial court?" Wen Daozhou secretly took a breath: "What edict?" ”

Chen An casually took out a silk silk and said, "Look at it!" ”

Wen Daozhou immediately spread out, and couldn't help but show a stunned expression on his face: "Another tax increase?" ”

Chen An nodded: "Take a look!" ”

Wen Daozhou looked at it carefully, this is a document of the imperial court, and there are also big seals of the prefect's yamen and the governor's yamen, but the problem is here, how much to pay taxes and suppress, I didn't mention it.

It's just that when the thieves arrived in Nanyang Mansion, they asked the county commanders at all levels to mobilize the gentry to pay taxes again.

Pay taxes, how much you pay, don't mention it.

The article in this is huge.

Wen Daozhou is not stupid, you add a tax plus a centimeter, and a point is also an addition, no matter how you add it, everyone has to make a profit, but Wen Daozhou looked at the official documents.

Look left, right, up, down.

It is clear that I see another meaning - add until death!

"Gonggong Chen, this governor's yamen and the prefect's yamen didn't say how much?!" Wen Daozhou asked tentatively.

"Humph!"

Gonggong Chen just sneered: "Lord Wen, don't tell our family, you can't see what this official document means!" ”

Wen Daozhou swallowed his saliva fiercely, and heard Chen Gonggong say: "Now this rogue is about to come to Nanyang Mansion, maybe he will come to Dengzhou, where this rogue goes, he will plunder the population here, as well as food, not long ago, Gao Yingxiang was defeated, if he replenished people and food in Nanyang Mansion, what should he do?" ”

Wen Daozhou naturally also understood the means of the rogue, and after breaking the city, he had to rob it, rob the grain, money and grain, and plunder the people for him to drive.

"It's okay for our family!"

Gonggong Chen said slowly: "It's okay for our family, follow the palace, this city is lost and not lost, and there are naturally people in the palace to protect it, but what about you, Lord Wen?" ”

Wen Daozhou's face changed.

In the palace, if this tax is collected, will he still have a share of Chen An?

Chen An also wants to make dots up and down and take care of the relationship with the palace.

Not long ago, Gao Yingxiang and Lu Xiangsheng, Zu Kuan, Luo Dai, Yang Shien and other departments fought fiercely at Zhulong Bridge, attacked Shouzhou in the north, and ran away with Lu Xiangsheng's ass, even if Gao Yingxiang broke through the county, at most it was to rob the county, and it was impossible to have time to go to the countryside to loot the grain.

The so-called Qingjian Biye is not valid, even if it is necessary to raise taxes, why do you have to be at this juncture?

At this time, the tax is raised, or it is added to death.

It's not to imitate Gao Yingxiang to get food, people.

The governor of Henan, the prefect of Nanyang Prefecture, and the people up and down all want to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune.

If something went wrong, it was directly pushed to Gao Yingxiang, and they temporarily added a handful of taxes, is this wrong?

Obviously, it is for the sake of the imperial court, and he is in a hurry to obey the power, not only to reward the army of the imperial court, but not to let Gao Yingxiang snatch a grain of grain, this is obviously the public loyalty to the country, for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, and then suffer the people, I will bear the infamy.

Chongzhen was happy, the officials were happy, the gentry were happy, and they took the opportunity to annex the land of the people, only the people......

However, can Chongzhen know what the people think?

As for really forcing the people to be anxious, they really rebelled, and it just so happened that the army of the imperial court also arrived, saying that they were thieves and killed a group.

Wen Daozhou understood in an instant.

At that moment, Wen Daozhou quickly spoke: "Gonggong Chen, the lower officials understand, let's arrange it!" ”

Then, he was stunned for a moment, looked at Huang Guoren and said quickly: "Quick, let Pan Juren and Liu Xiucai come out!" ”

"Plus, plus tax?"

Xiao Pan Juren and Liu Xiucai were both slightly stunned, and Xiao Pan Juren couldn't help but say: "But, didn't you just raise taxes this year?" ”

Wen Daozhou looked at Xiao Pan Judao: "At this time, at that time, now Gao Yingxiang is going straight to Nanyang Mansion, it is inevitable that he will not come to Dengzhou, it is to collect a tax at this time, reward the three armies, and resist Gao Yingxiang!" ”

Xiao Pan Juren couldn't help but ask, "Then, how much more?" ”

Wen Daozhou said: "Don't leave a grain of grain to Gao Yingxiang!" ”

Xiao Pan Juren's eyes widened, and he said cautiously: "I'm afraid, I'm afraid, these people are unwilling to pay taxes!" ”

Chen An sneered: "Pan Juren, don't worry, there are still 500 people under our family, who dare to follow the thief, against the sky, the court will raise taxes, this is to deal with the rogues, they will either pay taxes honestly, or be exterminated by the rogues, and a thousand or ten thousand people will die, what is it?" There are still a million officers and soldiers in the imperial court! Gather a crowd to fight, that is to find death! ”

Xiao Pan Juren took a reassuring pill, and then said quickly: "Father-in-law, don't worry, adults, the students will definitely not disappoint their father-in-law and adults, even if the grain is burned, they will definitely not let the thieves get a grain of grain!" ”
