Chapter 94 Freedom to Guide the People
Gaizhou.
"Master, please go!"
In a small courtyard in the south of the city, the Zhenghuang Banner Manzhou Jiabingbatai walked out of the dilapidated door with satisfaction. Li Fu, the slave kneeling beside him, lowered his head and said.
The woman in the room tidied up her clothes.
"Let's go, come to the city wall with me."
Batai kicked Li Fu and said.
"Slave obeys the order!"
Li Fu said quickly.
After saying that, he picked up a shoddy spear from the ground, but then he raised his head and looked at the top of his head in shock. Batai was stunned for a moment, and quickly raised his head, and then instantly turned into an expression of his eyes almost glaring out. Because in the sky above their heads, a huge red monster was floating at an extremely slow speed. Below the monster, there was a hanging basket made of bamboo, and a little fire was burning on the hanging basket. Under the flame, a man in a Ming officer's uniform was leaning out, then he made a gesture of wiping his mouth, and then took out something from the side and put it next to him.
At the same time, a foreign object suddenly appeared in Batai's eyes.
He subconsciously flashed to the side.
"Damn it!"
But the foreign object was stuck on his face. He cursed angrily, then wiped it on his face, and then a sour smell hit his nose.
"The emperor of the Heavenly Continuing Emperor, the imperial edict said that those who found that the Han people in Gaizhou were slaves of Jiannu were all good people in the former Liaodong. In the past, the army of the court fought unfavorably, and they were plundered by Jiannu and had to be rebel. The fact is understandable, so they hereby issued an order to pardon them. The Jiannu house and property they currently owned were granted to them. The Jiannu land they cultivated was collected and the imperial land was granted to them and they were given to continue farming and paid 10% of the land rent according to the law. Some people who were also able to do so were also able to do so.
Originally, but he had been enemies with the royal army many times, but I was not convenient to pardon him. He could allow him to commit his merits and his crimes. If he surrendered with the head of Jiannu, he could exempt himself and his family from his own crimes, and he would also be included in the inner court slaves to build a tomb for me to atone for his sins. When the tomb was completed, he would be given a good birth. As for the bannermen, he was the minions of Jiannu, no matter Manchu, Mongolian and Han, they would not be forgiven. Except for women and boys below the wheel, they would be punished. I hope that the Han people in the city would make a clear way out soon and do not make accusations for tigers, otherwise the army would be killed on the day of breaking the city!”
Then a clear voice came from afar from above his head.
Then a more straightforward explanation came.
In fact, there is no need to be more straightforward. Both Batai and Li Fu have already understood the meaning of these words.
Batai looked at Li Fu vigilantly, who was turning to look at the door. The woman was standing there, with a piece of blue on her chest that was not dressed in neat clothes. Batai also looked at the woman, and then kicked Li Fu over to the ground without hesitation.
"Dog slave, do you want to rebel?"
He kept kicking Li Fu and scolding.
The latter curled up on the ground with his head in his arms and kept begging for mercy, but Batai seemed to have no news and continued to kick him hard, even pulling out his belt and whipping.
"Dog slave, I'm still thinking that the dog emperor will come to save you. I'll chop your dog's head first."
Batai scolded him, who was tired of beating.
Then he pulled out his sword and chopped it on Li Fu's head. However, just as the knife was slashed, a scream suddenly sounded beside him. Ba Tai turned his head in shock, and almost at the same time, a cold thing stabbed into his ribs. He lowered his head blankly, looked at the spear under his ribs, and then raised his head to look at the woman who was crying under him countless times. The latter gritted his teeth and stood less than two steps away from him, turned the spear hard and pulled it out hard, stabbed into his chest again without hesitation.
"Ma, this effect comes so fast!"
Liu Cheng said horrifiedly as he looked at the scene.
Then he lay on the edge of the hanging basket and continued to read and explain the imperial edict.
As the hot air balloons floated, the entire city of Gaizhou was in chaos. The Qing army on the ground had already understood what this thing was doing. Soon the bows and arrows and bird guns shot at the sky, but the hot air balloons floating nearly 150 meters above the sky were not accessible at all. At this time, they could not shoot the cannons heads upwards, and even the crossbow could not carry it to aim at such a height target.
But Liu Cheng's voice was enough to reach the ground.
Emperor Yang threw him into the hanging basket and found that this guy had a particularly loud voice.
Especially there is a trumpet to help.
And it was spreading downwards in the sky without any stopping. Liu Cheng, who was condescendingly, kept shouting the content of the imperial edict. As the Qing army was mobilized in panic, the Han people in the city, whether Baoyun or Ahanikan, all raised their heads and listened to the sounds from the sky.
Imperial decree from the sky.
Soon, all the slaves in the city of Gaizhou who were bullying as cattle and horses and endured the bullying of the bannermen knew that the emperor had pardoned them, and they knew that they could not only own property that belonged to the bannermen, but also continued to cultivate the land that belonged to the bannermen, but even only had to pay 10% of the land rent. Oh my God, this is like a dream, let alone 10% of the food they had worked hard to grow did not actually belong to them. They were all of the bannermen's masters, including all their property, their women and even themselves, all of them were bannermen. The masters could whip them at will, enjoy their blood and sweat, and enjoy their women, and even during wars they had to act as cannon fodder, and their descendants would always be like this, and they would always be slaves to the bannermen.
However, now the emperor wants to let them be their own masters!
We want the Emperor!
All slaves cried in their hearts.
The Han people in Gaizhou were basically arrested from Guangning. After the Qing army occupied Guangning, while destroying all the castles except Guangning, they also forcibly captured all the people in Guangning to Gaizhou for slaves to the bannermen. It has only been more than twenty years since now, and most of the people who have experienced this tragedy are still alive. In the past, they dared not, but now the emperor has hit the door, so what else is there to dare? All the slaves in the entire Gaizhou city are hesitating.
They also lack a fuse.
It was at this moment that the seriously injured Batai screamed and stumbled out of the yard, and fell to the ground with the eyes of countless pedestrians on the road.
Before people could react, the woman rushed out with a spear.
"It's still a man, but he killed these dogs and beasts."
The woman looked around and shouted contemptuously, then a spear pierced on the dying Batae again.
"Hannu rebelled!"
Several flag men on the road woke up instantly and rushed towards the woman, one of them yelled subconsciously.
It would be fine if he didn't yell, but all the Han slaves reacted.
Yes, rebellion, what are you afraid of when the emperor hits the door? The emperor has said all the imperial edicts, not only will everyone be pardoned, but there are so many benefits. Wouldn't you be stupid to follow the Tartars? At the same time, the Han slaves around him rushed towards the bannermen without hesitation.
"Hurry up, go to the city guard's office to report the news!"
One of the bannermen immediately shouted at Baoyi beside him when he saw this scene.
The latter agreed.
The bannerman pulled out his knife and turned his head to rush towards the two Han slaves, but almost at the same time, a knife stabbed him in the back.
"You dog slave!"
He turned around with difficulty and said, looking at the face covered behind him.
The latter smirked and pulled out the knife, then pinned his neck and chopped it down, then picked up the rat's tail, and looked at it like a treasure.
"Master, don't blame the slave. The dog emperor has come. It's a matter of changing the master in this Gaizhou. It is your duty to be loyal to the Emperor Taizu. You still want to survive. I have been serving you for so many years. This time you will help me!"
He said with emotion.
Then he ran towards his own home.
Liu Cheng in the sky was stunned.
He never expected that such an effect would be achieved no matter what.
Seeing the chaos spreading in the city, he quickly woke up. This was a wonderful opportunity to siege the city.
He immediately waved his arms desperately to Yang Feng, and shouted loudly, trying to attract the attention of His Majesty the Emperor.
"Your Majesty, Old Liu is dancing!"
Outside the city, Liang Cheng raised his telescope and said with a smile.
"He probably thought we couldn't see him in the sky, and his true form was revealed. When you come back, you ask him if he was dancing the music of the formation or the song of the colorful clothes?"
Yang Feng, who was working with Tang Quan, Zhu Yiwu and others to study the siege, said speechlessly.
There was a burst of laughter around him immediately.
Poor Liu Cheng waved his hand desperately, and in the end he only received the laughter of these unscrupulous guys.
The chaos in Gaizhou City is still spreading.
In fact, there are less than half of the real bannermen in this city, and most of them are Ahanikan, who are from Baoyi and Han people. The number of the latter is almost as large as the bannermen. Before entering the pass, the bannermen have slaves. The higher the status, the more they have. Once the Han people who have been bullied for twenty years are ignited, the situation will not be controlled by those bannermen.
But the problem is that you can't see it outside the city.
In order to avoid Qing army artillery fire, the Ming army was built five miles away!
Liu Cheng was so anxious that he scratched his head, but he had no choice but to do anything. Just as the chaos in the city began to turn into a melee, he suddenly stared at the clay pot above the clay pot full of kerosene. The wick as thick as an arm above the clay pot filled with kerosene was still burning.
Liu Cheng gritted his teeth and carried it out directly from the base, smashing it down hard at the bell and drum tower below.
The clay pot with more than 20 kilograms of kerosene was like a huge burning bottle, smashing into the bell and drum tower, instantly turning into flames rising into the air and then swallowing the bell and drum tower. The wooden superstructure immediately burned and rose slowly like beacon fire.
"Your Majesty, look at the city!"
In the Ming army camp, Liang Cheng immediately shouted
"What's going on?"
Yang Feng looked up and immediately saw the thick smoke rising like a black dragon in the city.
Several generals looked at each other.
"Hurry, drag Old Liu back and order all troops to prepare to attack the city!"
Yang Feng woke up instantly and shouted without hesitation.
(The father-in-law is hospitalized again, his wife is going to serve him again, and I have to look at the children again. It seems that I can't save any manuscripts.)
