Chapter 137 A handful of rapeseed flowers
In Tongyang Town, fires soar into the sky and corpses are buried everywhere.
On the road south of the town, more than 200 women were driven by a group of vicious soldiers and turned to the south in a crying step and three times. From time to time, women who walked slowly were beaten hard by the soldiers with whips.
The women were covered in blood and their clothes were torn to pieces. They were all unkempt and dirty, and some had bloody straws on their heads.

These are all villagers in Tongyang. They were at home with their husbands and children two hours ago, but they became such a miserable appearance two hours later. What caused all this was the Jin Shenghuan army of the official army from Pizhou in the north.
The general of the Jin army led the team was the guerrilla He Mingjun, who was from Yulin, Shaanxi and had worked as a border army.
Ten days ago, He Mingjun was still in Xin'anfang River in Pizhou, but now he has to lead his troops to retreat south urgently. The reason is that the Shun Army in Henan suddenly crossed the Yellow River and rushed south to capture Shan County. The vanguard of Shun Army General Dong Xueli had already arrived in Xuzhou.
Jin Shenghuan, who was responsible for preventing the river, heard that Shun's army went south and knew that if Xuzhou was lost, Shun's army would run to Huaiyang, so he led the army to rescue Xuzhou.
However, when he entered Fang Village, Nanzhou, Jin Shenghuan suddenly reported that Huai'an had fallen, and his troops were completely wiped out by the Wu Gao army of the He River Supervisor. The shocked Jin Shenghuan led his army to retreat south that day and ordered all the troops scattered throughout the Huai River to retreat south to Suzhou.
When the Central Army officer Song Kuiguang learned of this order, he was so anxious that he quickly said that once the Jin army's battalions were withdrawn, the Huaihe River defense line would be extremely empty. If the Shun Army captured Xuzhou and led the troops to cross the Huai River, Yu Huaiyang would be a disaster that no one could stop him.
"There are thieves from all over the north and the south today. What should you do if you ask me to? Could it be that I can't fight the thieves alone?"
Before Song Kuiguang's persuasion, Jin Shenghuan insisted on ordering the Hegong tribes to retreat south to Suzhou and Sizhou, and said to Song: "Huai'an was trapped before the New Year, but the Caoyuan did not send anyone to inform me, and did not even order me to dispatch troops to quell the rebellion. It is obvious that I have doubts about Jin Shenghuan. Here I should have my own troops. If Huaiyang really cannot gain a foothold, I will go back to the Zuo Zheng's place. If I continue to defend the Hegong and have all the troops, how can I sit in the world!"
Song Kuiguang couldn't persuade him, and knew that the situation was indeed unfavorable to the Jin tribe, so he had no choice but to pass this order. As a result, the order was suddenly withdrawn, and all the generals of the Jin tribe from the river defense were not aware of the reason. In a hurry, they were like frightened birds running south. On the way, they even plundered and killed towns along the way. Before the thieves arrived, the people were already zombies.
.........
He Mingjun killed particularly hard along the way. After slaughtering Tongyang bloodi, he led his troops to the west along Luomahu Lake to Suzhou, but he led his general Zhao Zhongyi to take his men to the horse and pass on the orders of Jin Shenghuan. He asked his troops not to go to Suzhou, but to go south to Muyang.
"Why do you want to go to Muyang? Didn't you say that there are rioters in Huai'an?"
He Mingjun was very puzzled. He thought that since the Shun Army was heading south, they would probably go back to Wuchang, so he let go of the robbery. Anyway, they would also rob the Shun Army that came from behind.
"I don't know the humble position. I only know that the Caoyuan sent someone to order the general to lead his troops to quell the rebellion. Now the general has led his troops to advance to Huai'an. The general ordered the emperor to arrive in Muyang tomorrow."
Zhao Zhongyi really didn't know what was happening above. He said that he had just returned to Suzhou from Huaian a few days ago. Before that, he had been wandering in the countryside outside Huaian City until Huaian General Zhang Pengyi led his troops to attack the city. After inquiring from many sources, he learned that the Ministry of Road had fled from the city to Andong, and Zhao Zhongyi decided to go back to report the news.
Because he thought that since the Lu Department was in charge of Andong and the imperial court was constrained, the Jin Ministry would definitely not massacre the city when he came to attack Huai'an, at most he would "disturb the people" and extort money.
After returning, Jin Shenghuan naturally asked Zhao Zhongyi why he didn't come back early to report the news.
Zhao Zhongyi made some comments about this, but it was just that there was chaos inside and outside the city, and they could not escape. They hid in the nearby villages for many days before they found an opportunity. Then they told Jin Shenghuan in detail about the known traitors in Huai'an.
"So, is it that Wu Gaohu? Alas, this bastard will kill me, and I will also be suspicious of the department!"
Wu Gao was dead, and the four thousand soldiers disappeared out of thin air. Jin Shenghuan was angry, and he could imagine that things were so angry that there was nothing he could do.
But now, he didn't know whether to stay in Suzhou or go to Wuchang immediately. Fortunately, the next day, an envoy from Andong came to pass the order of the Lu Department and ordered the Jin Department to go to Huai'an immediately to quell the rebellion.
The Andong Road Department is also in a panic now. On the one hand, the Huai'an General Zhang Pengyi sieges the city without obeying the order, which prevents him from recruiting the Huai army smoothly; on the other hand, he also received urgent reports from Henan trespasses going south to capture Shan County.
After repeated weighing, no matter whether Jin Shenghuan is trustworthy or not, Lu Zhenfei must ask him to lead his troops to regain Huai'an, otherwise he would be unable to deal with the thieves who went south.
The only good news is that the governor of Fengyang, Ma Shiying, sent the general Huang Degong to Huai'an, and two other Fengyang Ming troops were on their way to Huai'an. Therefore, as long as the trespassers could recover Huai'an City before crossing the Huai River, the strength of several Ming troops would be able to fight against the trespassers.
It was just a grievance to Yu Huai Shu.
Zhang Pengyi was killed and blood debts were left in the family, so it was obvious that he could not recruit him.
When he heard that the Lu Department Office asked him to lead his troops to recover Huai'an, Jin Shenghuan agreed without thinking. After all, he wanted to continue to stay in Huaiyang.
Now Zhao Zhongyi was called, thinking that he had followed him loyally and honestly for many years, Jin Shenghuan gave him the title of general and ordered him to take a horse team to He Mingjun's army to pass the order and serve as a guide.
.............
After Zhao Zhongyi passed on Jin Shenghuan's general order, he saw He's troops arresting a group of women in the team. He knew what was going on, but he just sighed and said nothing.
He is just a little bitch, so he can't control other people's guerrillas.
"Then go to Muyang,"
He Mingjun responded casually and ordered his troops to speed up, because Jin Shenghuan asked him to arrive in Muyang tomorrow.
When He's subordinate Qian Zonggai heard that he would not go to Suzhou to change to Muyang, he pointed to the women behind the team and asked, "If you want to go to Muyang, what should these women do?"
He Mingjun frowned, Mu Yang had a lot of ears and ears. If the Caoyuan knew that he had led people to openly rob a civilian woman, it would be difficult to explain the murder and money. Moreover, the marching speed with these women would not be fast.
Thinking of this, he raised his hand and ordered Gai Yushi: "Dispose all these rebels."
"Rebel?"
Zhao Zhongyi, who was opposite, was stunned and said in a daze: "These are women!"
"Women are not thieves? They are not thieves, and their men are also thieves! What is the thieves who are not thieves!"
Gai Yu smiled and ran away. Then the woman screamed loudly from behind the team. In the blink of an eye, more than two hundred women were killed, and blood soaked the soil on the road red.
When he was in charge of his subordinates, he ordered his subordinates to cut off the woman's head and cut off her long hair with a knife. He said that since he was going to Huai'an to quell the rebellion, he would just take it with him to ask for me.
Zhao Zhongyi was stunned, but he remained silent. He had followed Jin Shenghuan for many years and had long been numb to see this kind of thing.
But what I never expected was that something happened after He's troops entered Muyang City.
This matter was originally a trivial matter. Several soldiers had a fight with the wine shop people without paying for drinking. As a result, the leader was very fierce and fierce, and he drew his sword to kill the shopkeeper and more than a dozen of his friends in public.
There were many people in Muyang who saw this incident, and then it immediately fermented. The people in the city gathered in a turbulent relationship with the county government and shouted that the magistrate should drive He's troops out of the city.
He Mingjun was also confused at that time. The original intention of the Central Army Officer Song Kuiguang was to spend some money to "settle" the matter, and the big things turned into small things.
But when the drunk He Mingjun saw that the Muyang people were so ignorant, he dared to gather people to drive them out of the city. In a state of fury, he ordered his subordinates to use a knife to drive the people away.
However, when this knife is used, the matter is not simply "dispelling".
Soon, the officers and soldiers of He who regarded human lives as ants killed people crazily in Muyang City. However, when they saw the man, they killed him with one knife and cut his head and laughed.
Some women rushed up, ignored the sky and openly showed off their desires. If they refused to follow, they would break their hands and feet.
The magistrate of Muyang saw that the officers and soldiers were slaughtering the people like beasts, and he could not dissuade them, but was so angry that he could hang himself. After his death, the red-eyed officers and soldiers rushed into the county government office and insulted his concubine.
This is true for all the magistrates, let alone others.
Tens of thousands of people in Muyang County became He's captive pigs and sheep. He killed them when they said they were killed, and lustful them when they said they were lustful, which lasted all night.
The next day, He Mingjun, who woke up from drunkenness, was so scared that he saw such a big mess. However, this person did not find a way to stop the killing and preserved the living people. He even slapped his mind and wanted to kill someone to silence him.
As a result, the people who survived last night were massacred again. Afterwards, He Mingjun sent people to Suzhou and Andong to report the victory, saying that the thieves in Muyang wanted to kill officers and soldiers to seize the county town, but fortunately he discovered it in time and suppressed them, and now he has been killed by the thief's heads at several levels...
While the victory was delivered, more than 3,000 women in Muyang City were detained by He troops in several places for future distribution.
Because the weather became warmer and the colder was no longer severe, the corpses in the city could not survive for a long time. He sent troops out of the city to capture nearby villagers and asked them to transport the corpses with cattle, horses and carriages to bury them outside the city.
All the villagers who entered the city were stunned by the tragic situation in the city.
In a house somewhere in the south of the city, looking at the dozens of naked corpses in front of him, Zhao Zhongyi finally couldn't stand and knelt on the ground with a "thump".
After a long time, he gritted his teeth and stood up from the ground, carried a knife and rushed towards He Mingjun. His subordinates were so scared that they quickly pulled him, and they all persuaded that their arms could not twist their thighs and eggs could not touch the stones.
Zhao Zhongyi, who calmed down, looked at his brothers silently, then took the wine jar and poured wine for everyone one by one, and finally cut his palms with a dagger and dripped blood into the bowl. Then he said to everyone: "If you are in your hometown and see the people in your hometown being killed so hard, can you sit and ignore them?"
Everyone was silent.
Who has no love for a hometown?
"This official army is not loyal and righteous. If you have any wish to follow me, you will drink blood wine. Those who don't want to be loyal and righteous will not force you. See you again on the battlefield in the future, and you will not be ruthless!"
After saying that, he drank it all in one go, and then took 85 people with wishes to go out of the city and ran south.
Slaughtering thief.
......
At the Guazhou Ferry, Lu Si stuffed a handful of rapeseed flowers he had just picked from the vegetable field into Zuo Dazhuzi's hand, and said with some guilt: "I haven't got the little red flower, but this rapeseed flowers are also pretty, so you can make up for it."
"As long as it is given by the big brother, all flowers will look good."
