Chapter Twenty-Nine: An Uprising?

Yanchuan County, a small county town in the east of Yan'an Prefecture, is in the north of Shaanxi, across the Yellow River and Shanxi Province, it can be said that across the Yellow River is Yanchuan.

There are not many villages around Yeoncheon, and there are not many villagers, but now they are not called villagers.

Changed its name, called Disaster Victim.

The victims gathered.

Zhang Sanquan is one of them, and the surname Zhang is a big surname in Shaanxi, which can be traced back to the period of King Xuan of the Western Zhou Dynasty.

Their ancestors also had high-ranking officials and nobles, but now they are in decline.

He relied on his industrious hands, married a daughter-in-law, gave birth to a baby, and lived a hard life, but the people, who is not bitter, to whom do they say, it is better to live with a stuffy head.

It's good to be alive, and if you can stutter, you can live.

It's just that since half a year ago, the days have been a little different.

From the beginning of the year to the present, there has been a drought for half a year, and the dealer has not harvested any grains.

At the beginning, Zhang Sanquan's family was still able to eat the surplus grain in the family, and every household was like this, but fortunately, they worked hard for many years and worked diligently, but they also saved some money.

Every time they boil rice, they always take out all the wheat from the pot and let the children eat, and then they are pouring out the soup, and the iron spoon scrapes the sparks at the bottom of the pot come out, and they pick out some wheat, they have no land to cultivate and do not need to work, and they are adults, and they can bear it when they are hungry.

With such savings, the food was still eaten up quickly, and the family began to eat the remaining wheat bran, which could also be eaten.

But the wheat bran was also eaten, Zhang Sanquan and his wife could only go out to dig wild vegetables, but the drought that lasted for so long, where were the wild vegetables, and some were dug up by the people who couldn't hold on first, and the grass seeds were gone.

Zhang Sanquan even saw that the bark on the road was picked up, he was a little annoyed, blaming himself for not coming out early to prepare, he finally found some bark and brought it home.

I couldn't swallow it, so I ground it into powder, made a paste to eat, and filled my stomach, but he didn't digest this thing, he did it, and soon Zhang Sanquan's family was constipated.

A family of three can't.

They could only find some branches, and only after their son fainted and bleed, and then the couple came out.

I didn't dare to think much about that picture.

But this kind of bark can't be found.

After being hungry for a day, she couldn't stand it, her son lay on the kang and had no strength, and his wife sat next to him and cried, saying that he would dig some soil to satisfy his hunger, Zhang Sanquan gave her a slap, "Is that thing something that can't be pulled out after eating?" It won't pull at all, it falls in the stomach and dies in three or four days. ”

He pushed the door and went out, squatting at the head of the door, covering his head and bursting into tears.

Another day, the people in the village got together, they couldn't go on, and they were going to die in the village.

Someone shouted to rebel, but he was immediately covered by the people next to him, and he dared to say something to kill his head.

The village chief mobilized everyone to pack up their luggage, Zhang Sanquan didn't move, where is the luggage, the most precious thing for the croppers is the land and grain, the land is wasted, the grain is gone, and there can be more.

A village of people went to Yanchuan County, and the officials couldn't watch so many victims of the disaster.

On the way, they also met other victims, and they gathered together and headed for Yanchuan.

Soon, a group of disaster victims gathered in front of the not very high city wall in Yanchuan, and the county commander stood on the city wall and told them that the food should be scraped together and wait.

It was another day, he woke up in the morning and wanted to call his son to get up, but he reached out and touched his son's body, which was as hard as the loess on the ground.

He sat on the ground with his wife and howled twice.

There were people around him who were just like him.

Someone couldn't help but want to go up and ask why there was no food yet, but they were kicked twice by the soldiers, and the county order was gone.

Some of the victims couldn't wait any longer, so they prepared to go to Yan'an, which is a big city, and there should be something to eat.

But on the way, they encountered victims who had fled from Yan'an.

They can only wait here and wait.

Someone suddenly asked, "Why haven't you seen the county order for two days, won't you starve to death?" ”

As soon as the words fell, the people around them laughed dryly.

"Will the county order starve to death? The official may be at home with his family around the table eating fragrant buns. ”

"Maybe there's still meat."

There is a voice to add, it is these two sentences.

Let all the surrounding victims have red eyes, they have nothing to eat, the county order may have, they starved to death of their families, and the county order has family members to eat.

Why?

"Anyway, I can't survive, and the officials don't care about the amount, and the foreheads go to the city!"

Someone slapped his leg and roared.

Zhang Sanquan followed and stood up, he listened to it, his son died.

Then everyone stood up, even the girls, except for those who could no longer stand up.

Some walked in the middle, some died, there were only two or three hundred of them, and a group of people shouted and rushed towards the city gate, the city wall of the county town was not high, and the city gate was not thick.

Before they reached the gate of the city, the gate opened, and seven or eight horses, and one or twenty men, rushed out.

"A bunch of untouchables, are you going to rebel?"

"Brothers, this is all military merit!"

They shouted.

Shouts of killing, screams.

It came into Liu Zhenhua's ears.

"Rebellion?"

Liu Zhenhua was stunned to see the killing that was taking place in front of the low city wall in the distance.

The men and horses on one side are obviously disaster victims, and the number is not large, and the other side is obviously officers and soldiers, and they are still wearing armor, saying that they are rebels, which is simply a massacre on the one hand.

The soldier who rode a tall horse, wore armor and held a steel sword, rampaged through the crowd of victims, killing nearly seven and seven out, ho, so not majestic.

The victims were unarmed and powerless to resist, and soon they fled to their deaths.

Liu Zhenhua looked at this scene, he couldn't help, these officers and soldiers were backed by the city, and they didn't know how many soldiers there were, besides, it was too early to be exposed now.

One can only watch the people being slaughtered.

Some of the slower runners were caught and pulled into the city, and needless to say, there was only one dead word in the end.

Liu Zhenhua had heard of soldiers killing ordinary people for military merit before, and Zhu Yuanzhang encountered such a thing in the TV series he watched.

I don't know how Lao Zhu will react when he sees such a thing happening in his Daming territory now, whether he will catch these people to light sky lanterns, peel skin and fill grass or something.

"Let's go, find a place to stay," Liu Zhenhua said, and this is it, a victim from Shaanxi led the way, and told Liu Zhenhua that this is Yanchuan.

Less than 100 miles ahead is Yan'an Mansion.

Liu Zhenhua of Yan'an Mansion is not afraid, if the governor inside is really doing things, the uprising in Shaanxi will not be so big.

He Liu Zhenhua is now looking for a dirt ravine, gathering the people, and slowly developing, and now he already has four hundred and five prestige in his hand, and he can upgrade his prestige meal by saving five hundred and five.

The procession headed south.

Some officers and soldiers saw this group of people from a distance and did not take it seriously, they had already caught enough anti-thieves.
