Chapter 266: The Aspirations of the People

Cheng Xu reorganized his troops, took the militia on a small train, and soon came to Baijiabao, and then went into Huanglong Mountain and hid quietly inside.

It didn't take long for the people sent by Liang Shixian to arrive quickly, and when they rushed into Baijiabao, they asked Bai Kite to ring the bell and call for "ghost thousand households".

Of course, the white kite was happy to play games with them, and rang the bell a few times.

knocked on the outside of Li Daoxuan's box, and the words "Baijiabao" flashed and shined.

So, Cheng Xu swaggered out of the mountains with the "Guyuan rebels.......

A group of people acted happily, only Liang Shixian's people were in a hurry there.

Li Daoxuan saw that their side was handed over, so he cut his vision back to the county seat.

At this time, the county seat, under the command of Liang Shixian, had entered a state of combat readiness, and all the migrant workers who were building roads outside the city returned to the county seat, and once again crowded into the narrow streets and alleys of the county seat.

There was a surge of people everywhere.

The officers and soldiers under Fang Wushang, Liang Shixian's family members, government officials, militia groups, and some village warriors who spontaneously joined to help defend the city were all preparing materials for war.

When Li Daoxuan saw this picture of the army and civilians bent on defending the city, he remembered what he saw in the history books, and the record of various rangers attacking the county seat.

In the early days of the peasant war at the end of the Ming Dynasty, except for Wang Ergang's sneak attack to kill Zhang Yaocai, the commander of Chengcheng County, during the uprising, and later went north to break through Yijun County, there are few records of other peasant rebel armies breaking through the county seat.

Basically, they can only rot the countryside!

It was not until the third year of Chongzhen that a large number of officers and soldiers joined the peasant rebel army, and its combat effectiveness was greatly improved, and there were some records of conquering the county one after another.

As for the attack on large cities such as state cities and government cities, it only happened occasionally after many, many years. For example, the city of Xi'an was obviously located in Shaanxi, where the peasant uprising broke out most enthusiastically, but it was not broken by Li Zicheng until the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, and before that, it had always been in the hands of the Ming court.

The reason for this is that the strong city walls are of course a very important factor, and another important factor is that the good people who are unwilling to rebel cannot survive in the countryside, so they flow into the major cities in the form of "refugees", and follow the defenders of the city to resist the peasant rebels.

Yes?

The rebel army is tens of thousands at every turn, but the refugees in these cities are also tens of thousands, tens of thousands to tens of thousands, who is afraid of whom?

This is the case in Chengcheng County now, tens of thousands of refugees help defend the city together, the scene is really hot rain, it didn't take long to fill the city wall with rolling wood and stones, and many people also took the initiative to help sharpen arrows......

Fang Wushang stood on the city wall, looking at this hot scene, and couldn't help muttering: "It's strange, these ordinary people are so active in defending the city this time, when Wang Zuohang and the muddy rebels came in the past, the people of Fengyuan Town were not so active.

Liang Shixian stood beside him and sighed in a low voice: "The reason is not difficult to guess. ”

Fang Wushang: "Oh? I heard it in detail. ”

Liang Shixian: "These ordinary people have the job of "building roads", they have work to do every day, food to eat, and three catties of flour to get paid

The temporary suspension of road construction is equivalent to cutting off their livelihoods...

Fang Wushang suddenly said: "I see!"

Liang Shixian: "The people regard food as the sky, and whoever takes the food from their mouths is their enemy who does not share the sky...... On the other hand, whoever gives them a bite to eat is their heaven.

Speaking of this, his eyes couldn't help but sweep over Mr. Wang, who was standing on the town wall in the distance.

Mr. Wang was still standing beside Gao Yiye wearing a hat, as well as a small group of people from the militia, such as Lying Rabbit and Zheng Gouzi, all guarding Gao Yiye's side.

The status of their small group of people is really remarkable in the county, a large group of refugees are guarding the surroundings, protecting Mr. Wang and Gao Yiye in them, looking at the posture, whoever dares to move them, thousands of refugees will rush up and crush them into powder.

Liang Shixian lowered his voice and said, "This official is a little worried about this Li family. ”

Fang Wushang: "Huh? What is there for the Li family to worry about?

Liang Shixian: "Now the aspirations of the people of Chengcheng are all on the Li family, but I am afraid that they don't know who the Son of Heaven is." ”

Fang Wushang: "Lord Liang means that the Li family wants to rebel?" ”

Liang Shixian shook his head: "The official didn't say that they wanted to rebel, but he was just worried about .....

Fang Wushang glanced at the group of people in the "Li Family" very seriously, and just happened to see the lying rabbit coming out from behind Gao Yiye, waving the sword in his hand, slashing two swords at the bottom of the city wall, and laughing: "Guyuan rebels just come, this rabbit master kills ten with one sword." ”

Fang Wushang shook his head: "Lord Liang is too worried, a character like the Li family, I can kill it by myself."

Liang Shixian glanced at Fang Wushang worriedly, and thought: You are not a bad person, but you are a reckless man, if it wasn't for the official to save you, you would almost be killed by the guerrilla Li Ying and you don't know it. In the future, if this official is transferred, and you are the only one who stays here, who will be able to protect you? Alas! It's a pity! People like you can't live long.

Li Daoxuan heard the conversation between the two in the sky, and thought to himself: Liang Shixian has already seen that something is wrong? That's right, too! Only stupid people can't see the weirdness of Gaojia Village, but if you have a little IQ, you will suspect Gaojia Village and the strange Li family.

But........

Whatever you suspect, it's okay.

Even if you write a recital on the spot now and send it to Hu Tingyan, the governor of Shaanxi, saying that there is a squire here who may want to rebel, the evidence is conclusive, and the governors of other people will not pay attention to you, and maybe they will drag you to fight dozens of boards. Not to mention that you don't have any evidence at all, just speculation, hehehe.

At this time, Hu Tingyan, the governor of Shaanxi, was working hard to add some deficiencies to the Song Dynasty lyricist Su Shi's "Collection of Yellow Mansions".

When people are old, they like to engage in flowers and plants, and make some poetry and lyrics, what kind of peasant uprising outside? What border army is in rebellion? What guerrilla Li Ying was captured by the rebels? What rebels ran to Chengcheng County? Oops, I don't know, I don't know, I can't see it, I can't see it, I can't see it.

How can these things be as interesting as Su Shi's "Yellow Mansion Collection".

"Here they are, here the rebels are!

A fast horse rushed into the city gate, and behind him, the city gate closed quickly, and there was a bang, and the soldiers and civilians in the city became nervous.

I saw that on the wasteland in the southwest direction, there was an army, the dignified Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers, the team held a big flag, on which was written a scribbled word "wolf", there were several horses at the front of the team, and there were several military generals in bright armor sitting on it.

Hey? There was an unkempt man tied to a horse!

Everyone looked at it, and it was Li Ying, a guerrilla general who had come to Chengcheng County not long ago to take a turn and fight the autumn wind.
