Yanzhou Shanxian County, Majiapu, Majia Courtyard is lit up.

As the youngest son of Ma Yuanwai, the biggest rich man in Majiapu, most of the people in Shanxian County came to attend Ma Baolin's wedding, and even Liu Wenqing, the magistrate of Shanxian County, and Bo Shi Liangcai, the lord, also participated in Ma Baolin's wedding.

This makes Ma Yuanwai feel very face-saving, although Ma Yuanwai has no fame, to fifty, he can be mixed with a showman, as for his eldest son Ma Baoshan is also not a material for reading, but the key is that Ma Yuanwai has helped Wu Chongli, the former military department and criminal department secretary Wu Chongli, who has helped the fallen former military department and criminal department secretary Wu Chongli by chance, Wu is a famous family in Yanzhou, even after Wu Chongli's death, his son Wu Yixun met Ma Yuanwai, and he must be called Shibo.

It is precisely because of this incense that the horsemen mix well in Shanxian County, at least the gentry or the county order, and the government does not dare to pinch the horses.

Of course, Ma Yuanwai is also an eight-sided exquisite, and he will be called a social cow in later generations, even if he is a Jianghu person like Song Xiance, he also treats him with courtesy.

In all fairness, Ma Yuanwai, the rich man, is not the same as most of the local tyrants and inferior gentry who knock out the bones and marrow of the people, at least he will not do so much.

At the gate of the Ma family compound, Ma Baoshan, the eldest son of the porter and the horse staff, saw a huge convoy coming over the street, dozens of sturdy men, hanging waist knives, guarding seven or eight carts, coming towards the Ma family compound.

Ma Baolin watched Song Xiance ride over, hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Mr. Song came to the Humble House, but he couldn't welcome him from afar, it's rude, it's really rude!" ”

Song Xiance turned over and said with a faint smile: "Virtuous nephew is polite, let my brother get married, as an uncle, should I come to congratulate you?" ”

As he spoke, Song Xiance signaled to Jiang Wuzhi and presented the gift list.

Ma Baolin is not a greedy person for money, Rao is like this, and he was shocked when he saw the gift list.

Song Xiance sent a standard Liaodong Bank silver coin, this kind of silver coin has been accepted by most people in Shandong, Henan, and Beizhili, because this kind of silver coin is full of color, accurate weight, and does not need to be weighed, and you can see at a glance how much silver it is, even if a thousand pieces of silver are put together, the error is within five coins.

So, after the introduction of the silver coin, it was very popular.

Song Xiance is also a big deal, each one is ten taels of silver, one tray is sixty, two trays are 1,200, in addition to cloth, salt and other materials, this generous gift is two thousand taels of silver.

Ma Baolin is not a person who ignores things outside the window, Zhu Yihai has also heard about Song Xiance's Huanggang Coal Mine, but the problem is, although Ma Yuan has a little face in Shanxian County, what can Ma Yuan's face be in front of Zhu Yihai?

Ma Baolin said: "Mr. Song is really polite, how dare Ma be such a generous gift?" ”

At this time, Ma Yuanwai came out of it, and he smiled and said: "Mr. Song, such a generous gift, if Ma doesn't accept it, he looks down on Mr. Song, Baolin Baoshan, and he hasn't thanked Mr. Song for his father!" ”

Although Ma Yuanwai had no way to get back the coal mine that Lu Wangfu had taken away from Song Xiance, he knew that Song Xiance, a man from the rivers and lakes, had a large number of talents under his hands, and he was proficient in the art of public opinion, and the Huanggang Coal Mine was discovered by them.

If Song Xiance was a smart person, he would not have found a way to return to the coal mine taken away by the Lu Palace, so he could only suffer this dumb loss, but he could cooperate with Song Xiance, and it was a big deal to open another coal mine.

Song Xiance entered the Ma family compound with his entourage, and like almost all big families doing happy events, ordinary guests sat in the courtyard outside, ordinary neighbors and tenants sat outside the courtyard, and as for those with status entering the inner courtyard, the most noble person was in the main banquet hall, and he was in a high position.

Song Xiance came to the inner courtyard and sat in the atrium hall, where there were a total of four tables, all of whom had identities, of course, there were many people who knew Song Xiance, and everyone greeted Song Xiance.

Of course, after the wedding was held, when the groom and his servants toasted the guests, Song Xiance gave Jiang Wuxi a look, Jiang Wuxi left quietly, and after a while, there were neat footsteps outside.

The horse crew heard the movement faintly strange, and at this moment, dozens of attendants who followed Song Xiance to the Ma family's compound to attend the wedding showed their blades.

The horse crew looked at Song Xiance and stammered: "Song ...... Surname...... Mr...... You...... Want...... Do...... What? ”

Song Xiance didn't pay attention to the horses, but looked at Liu Wenqing, the county commander of Shanxian County, who was on the main seat, and said, "Lord Liu, come with us!" ”

A guest who was stunned for a long time was frightened and exclaimed: "There are bandits, there are bandits......"

The big guys were even more frightened and wanted to escape, but their legs were weak, where could they escape? The hall was in chaos.

Song Xiance looked at the crowd: "Everyone, don't be afraid, we are not bandits, we are miners in Huanggangzhai, but our mine has been robbed by the Lu Wangfu, and the government has not done anything, and they have also killed many of us!" There are unjust debtors and owners, what we are looking for is this official minions who help to abuse them, not you, as long as everyone sits here honestly and doesn't move, it will be fine, and when we finish cleaning them up, we will let you go! ”

Liu Wenqing was stunned, looked at Song Xiance and said: "Shouted: "You are so bold, you dare to rebel, aren't you afraid of being punished by the Nine Clans?" ”

A miner snorted contemptuously: "If you rebel, you will punish the Nine Clans? Before we rebelled, many people died in their entire families or only one died, what is that? You brutes are more ruthless than the rogues, and you will do all the bad things, and today I want you to know what retribution is. ”

Just when Song Xiance led people to capture the head of Shanxian County in the Ma family compound, Lin Xuzong also approached Shanxian County with the main force of miners, Shanxian County, like most counties in Daming, did not have a garrison, which was also the fundamental reason why Liukou could rush to the state and hit the government.

Daming's guard post and the local county seat are two independent units, and only guards like Tianjin Wei, Weihaiwei, and Dengzhou Wei have garrisons, and Kong Youde can rely on more than 800 Dongjiang Army cavalry to erode most of Shandong, because of the system problems of Daming.

Dozens of officials saw thousands of miners appear under the city, and they ran away in fright without firing a single shot or arrow.

Qiao Zhuang said in disbelief: "Why did they run away?" ”

The miners thought that the rebellion would die for life, but the problem was that they had not yet fought, and the gate of the county town was wide open, and not even a single figure could be seen.

"Attack, take the county seat!"

With Lin Xuzong's order, the miners cautiously approached the county seat of Shanxian County, holding shields in front, from a professional point of view, these miners seemed to be very amateurish.

The sword and shield soldiers composed of these miners are very resolute, and their momentum can only be said to be average, and if they are blocked, they are likely to retract immediately...... In a word, combat effectiveness is scum.

But the officials do not see it this way, although they are the officials, they are not the same as the various executive departments of later generations, they serve as husbands, they serve as servants, they have no training, they just rely on the official skin on their bodies to scare people. If it is really a one-on-one fight, they may not be able to beat many ordinary people.

When the officials saw so many sword and shield soldiers rushing down the mountain, they were so frightened that their legs were weak, some ran for their lives, and some fell down, crawling forward with their hands and feet, and they were extremely embarrassed.

Due to the lack of resistance, Lin Xuzong and the miners quickly occupied the entire Shanxian county, when occupying the county, the only bloody sacrifice was that the landed ruffians took advantage of the chaos to rob, and were stabbed to death on the street by the miners with knives and guns.

The captured equipment of the officials was also shocking, such as spears with rat tooth marks on the shafts, rusty knives, firecrackers that explode at the stroke of a beat, soft bows, and fluttering arrows...... These things are really eye-opening.

In the Ma family's compound, all the characters with heads and faces were caught by Song Xiance, Song Xiance escorted a fat-headed and big-eared rich man to the street outside the compound, pointed at the fat-headed and big-eared rich man and asked, "How is he?" ”

"Character?"

A peasant-looking man gritted his teeth and said: "Han Laocai still has such a thing as character, this bastard, bad things have already been done!" ”

"What bad things did he do?"

"Bad things, that's too many, too many to say!"

"Let's pick up the important ones!"

"This Han Laocai likes the woman who has just given birth, last month, Deng Maocai's daughter-in-law in our village took the baby less than a year old back to her parents' house, and was bumped into by Han Caicai on the road, he asked people to arrest the daughter-in-law of the Deng family, the daughter-in-law of the Deng family is fierce, and would rather die than obey, Han Laocai used Deng Maocai's son to threaten, if he did not comply, he threw Deng Maocai's son to the evil dog, and the daughter-in-law of the Deng family had no choice but to obey Han Laocai. The daughter-in-law of the Deng family was unwilling to be humiliated, sent her son home, and hanged herself on the big willow tree in the village! ”

"Does the government care?"

"The government, you have to ask the county master Liu, Han Laocai's son is the master of the county master of Liu County, who dares to care?"

"I'll take care of it!"

Song Xiance said: "Go to the sick, you take Han Laocai's family and arrest it, and the public trial!" ”

After Jiang Qu fell ill, he took a team of miners to attack the Han family's old house, but he didn't think that Han Laocai was an old buckle, there were only a dozen or so family members, and when they saw hundreds of thousands of people coming from the mine, these family members were also scared and ran away.

From the miners attacking Hanjiabao, soon, the battle was over, those family members either surrendered or died in battle, and the children of the Han family who dared to resist stubbornly died even more.

With the three sons and seven grandsons of Han Laocai, who were mixed with blood, dragged out, they were soon baptized with stones, saliva and rotten vegetable leaves, and what awaited him would be a very tragic fate.

Jiang Wuxi raided Han Laocai's house at an astonishing speed, boxes of silver, copper coins, bags of grain, and livestock and poultry, and shipped them out like flowing water. The cursing of the onlookers became louder and louder, and the more they looked at it, the more angry they became, we worked so hard all year round that we couldn't even eat enough chaff, but you were lying on us and sucking blood, it was unreasonable!

Song Xiance counted them, and seized a total of more than 6,000 taels of silver, more than 1,000 copper coins, more than 800 stones of rice, 25 cows, more than 30 mules, and a batch of silk and antiques.

Song Xiance looked at the large basket of documents that he had brought over, which looked like an account book, he picked up a book and flipped through it casually, these were either rents owed by Han Caicai's tenants, or debts borrowed.

Song Xiance made a gesture, and Jiang Wuxi brought a bucket of oil and poured it on the big basket of account books, and handed over the fire fold.

Song Xiance blew a breath into the fire fold, blew the fire fold, and then threw it into the basket, and with a bear's bang, the flames churned up, swallowing the ledger that either exuded the fragrance of ink, or yellowed and moldy.

Suddenly, the audience was silent, and everyone looked at the fire that was rushing higher and higher as if they had been under a fixation spell, their mouths were slightly open, and they couldn't close their eyes.

Song Xiance said: "Han Laocai is unjust, he gives usury, usury, then you don't have to pay it back, and these deeds of sale, a certain one has been burned, from now on, you are no longer Han's serfs, you have gained freedom!" ”

As Han Laocai's family was executed one by one according to the charges found out in the trial, the seven grandchildren of the Han family, except for the youngest grandson, who had not had time to do evil, all the others were hung on the tree.

Song Xiance also left the cattle, mules and horses captured by the Han family, and the grain was distributed to the people who could not survive.

The public trial of the Ma family compound is still continuing, and the local tyrants and inferior gentry first ask for the guilt, as long as the character is not good and the evil is full, then the house will be raided, and the most important part of the house is the IOU, IOUs and the like, all of which will be burned.

This rebellion went very smoothly, so smooth that Song Xiance couldn't believe it, he was ready to suffer thousands of casualties, but he didn't expect Lin Xuzong to also take the county seat bloodlessly.

Lin Xuzong and Song Xiance took the same method, first dealt with the gentry in the county, and conducted a public trial of the gentry households, some conscientious and hard-working rich people who relied on hard work to get rich were not liquidated, and even Ma Yuan did not have a bad reputation, his biggest notoriety was that he spent fifteen taels of silver to take a concubine to the eldest son of Ma Yuanwai, both parties were voluntary, although they were forced to do so, but this concubine was not abused, she did not report it, and Song Xiance did not deal with Ma Yuanwai.

Lin Xuzong looked at the four or five thousand newly incorporated rebels behind him, looked at Song Xiance and said, "What should we do now?" ”

"Our foundation is too thin!"

Song Xiance said: "Just such a few people, the weapons are not enough, the people don't know whether we are good or bad, rashly go to fight Yanzhou City, the people are easy to treat us as bandits, in order to save their own lives, desperately defend the city, when the time comes, they can neither fight down, nor retreat, the loss will be too great!" ”

"So what do you say?"

Song Xiance said: "Brother Lin, you first manage Shanxian County, our marshal said, when the strength is not enough, we will fight guerrilla warfare, the countryside will surround the city, Huanggang is our foundation, there is no room for loss, so let's do it, in the case of all voluntariness, select those young and strong, willing to dig coal, we will give wages, and be willing to work with us to conspire for a great cause, then start with the gentry of Yanzhou!" ”

As Song Xiance formulated the strategy of encircling the city from the countryside, the gentry of Shanxian County fell into blood mold.

Although Song Xiance has not managed or commanded the army in the Ning Navy, he is no stranger to troop training, and after nearly four years with Cheng Shijie, Song Xiance has learned a lot, in fact, Song Xiance at this time is much more powerful than Song Xiance in history.

First of all, he did not blindly expand the army, in the face of many refugees who were willing to join the righteous army, he reorganized the young and strong, the old and the weak, went to Huanggang to dig coal, at the same time, the soldiers were divided into two roads, the young and strong under the age of 18 stayed in Huanggang Village, and the soldiers from the Ning Navy served as instructors to train them.

Many people don't understand Song Xiance's approach, including Qiao Zhuang.

Song Xiance explained to Qiao Zhuang: "There is a very great general who said that fighting a war is fighting without money, and this battle is bound to be lost. We have no source of income, where does the money come from? It can only come in this coal mine. Only by digging up more coal can we exchange it for more weapons and destroy more enemies! When the war is over, we will also build a few phosphate fertilizer factories like Liaodong in Yanzhou to produce phosphate fertilizer and make the crops harvested, so that everyone will not have to go hungry anymore! ”

Don't go hungry anymore!

These simple seven words have an irresistible attraction for these honest miners, who happily accept the order, enter the mine with their tools, and start mining against the clock.

As for the rebel army with more than 4,000 people, Song Xiance's troops were divided into three routes, and more than 1,000 young and strong young troops were trained in Huangzhou Village, so they did not have to participate in the current battle, and at the same time, Lin Xuzong, Qiao Zhuang and Jiang Wuxian each led 1,000 men and horses to sweep through the villages and towns around Shanxian County.

In Cheng Shijie's words, this is called novice village brush experience.

Lin Xuzong looked at the troops lined up in a neat line and said, "Director Song, you are the leader of our army, you can give our army a name!" ”

When Liu Bowen divined the national fortune of the Ming Dynasty for Emperor Hongwu, Liu Bowen only said one sentence after divination, "If it is good, it will stop", and it will stop when it is good...... Let's call it Dashun Army! ”

Lin Xuzong laughed: "Okay, let's call it the Dashun Army, I didn't expect that we could also command such a large army across the battlefield......"

"What is this? It won't be long before our troops will swell to tens of thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, until we can't command them anymore! ”

Jiang Wuzhi said for some periods: "Uncle, you say, can we succeed?" ”

"If you don't succeed, you will become a benevolent!"

Jiang Wuxi asked, "Uncle, I can't figure it out!" ”

"Can't figure out what?"

"It is understandable for those who are willing to join our Dashun Army to give them food and money, but those people, why should they ...... If they have not made any contributions, why should they give them money and food? ”

"No disease, look farther!"

Song Xiance said: "The marshal once said that the power of the people is unlimited, if we can get their support, let's not talk about conquering Yanzhou, even if we conquer the entire Shandong and the entire Central Plains, it is not impossible, what is the money and grain of some fields?" ”

Jiang Wuxian didn't understand, but he didn't ask.

Song Xiance said: "Let's do our own duties, you take down the surrounding local tyrants and inferior gentry, and the public trial conference is almost over!" ”

Song Xiance rebelled in Shanxian County, and he had successfully captured the county seat, and knocked down dozens of local tyrants and gentry's villages, but Luo Ruwen, the prefect of Yanzhou Prefecture, still didn't know it.

There are too many officials like this to mention.

If the current prefect is Deng Fanxi, it is estimated that Song Xiance will not have time to judge the gentry.

This is Song Xiance's great luck, but it is the misfortune of Daming.

With the convening of the public trial conference, the people of Shanxian County are crazy with joy, now is the period of green and yellow, their families have long run out of food, just when they don't know what to do, Song Xiance but the public trial of the local tyrants and inferior gentry, the local tyrants and inferior gentry who are very angry with the people, all of them were hung on the tree by him to dry.

And those people also got the food they relied on for their lives, and they didn't have to pay off the debts they owed to the local tyrants and inferior gentry, and the most important thing was that as long as they joined the Dashun army, they could get the fields, ranging from ten acres to twenty or thirty acres.

At this moment, the people around the entire Shanxian County were shaken.

"Fight the local tyrants and divide the fields!"

"Dashun Army, justice is served!"

"Heaven is unfair, Dashun is fair!"

"When it comes to Shun, it stops, and Dashun is happy!"

Song Xiance played a lot of slogans, and as the scale of the Dashun army became larger and larger, these slogans spread more and more widely, until Cheng Shijie, who was in Liaodong, heard the name Dashun, and he suddenly realized.

"It turns out that Li Zicheng's country name is Shun, and it was actually made by Song Xiance, a bastard!" (End of chapter)
