It's not that this guy is so alert, but about three miles east of the town, there is a large house built by a local tycoon. It is not only luxurious and wealthy, but also has towering walls, which can not only provide comfort but also protect one's own safety.
More than two hundred of the strongest rebels were selected by Tao Po Tian as personal bodyguards and lived with him in a mansion outside the town.
The lovely wife and concubines in the house were divided among several rebel leaders.
The maids and maids were distributed among the personal guards and commanders.
Even the healthy women who were washed and swept, as well as the women captured from the town, were given two hundred soldiers. After being fed, they would release their desires.
Ta Po Tian was fast asleep at the moment, with a naked young woman lying next to him.
The young woman had obviously been ravaged. After Tapotian fell asleep, she quietly got up in the dark. She took out a pair of scissors from the cabinet, tears streaming down her cheeks, and walked towards Tapotian step by step.
"boom!"
In the darkness, the young woman stumbled over a stool.
Tu Po Tian suddenly woke up and asked: "What are you going to do?"
"Evil thief, even if I were a ghost, I would never let you go!" The young woman knew that there was no hope of revenge, so she held the scissors behind her back and stabbed herself in the chest.
Ta Potian quickly lit the oil lamp, looked at the young woman bleeding from her chest, and said in despair: "You...don't you want to be the queen? I really want to marry you, and I don't care that you are married. What does it matter if you die? If you die, What does it matter? Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..."
The thief actually cried bitterly in a low voice because the young woman was his sweetheart whom he had secretly loved for many years.
Ta Potian's hometown is in Duliu Town.
He was once a private salt dealer, and he was of the lowest kind.
In the Ming Dynasty, there were several ways to sell private salt -
The first is official and private, where officials and their families are involved in transportation; the second is military private, where the military participates in private salt sales; the third is commercial and private, which exceeds the salt import quota; the fourth is private, which uses the army and canal boats for smuggling; For smugglers, also known as salt lords, they gather thugs to engage in large-scale illicit salt sales.
As for Ta Po Tian, it can only be called a salt stick.
Gathering three or five young men, they went through the countryside and towns to sell local salt. Their nature was similar to that of peddlers who made hard money.
Soil salt, which is divided into alkali salt and nitrate salt, is made by scraping nitrate-alkali soil and frying it. It tastes bitter and toxic, and only the lowest common people will buy it.
Even if they are selling local salt, the meager profits are still targeted by the inspection department.
Two of Ta Po Tian's companions were captured, and he took the remaining two brothers and fled to Tianjin South Pier to survive. He could have worked hard to survive, but he encountered months of drought, the canal was dry and no navigation, and the dock coolie work It was also thrown away.
Then rebel, fight back to your hometown, and steal your sweetheart—the granddaughter-in-law of Hu Yuanwai from this town.
With tears streaming down his face, Ta Po Tian sat next to the young woman's body, suppressing his voice and crying heartbreakingly.
"Dong dong dong dong dong!"
"Kill!"
The sound of drumming and killing shouts suddenly came. Tapotian stood up in panic and shouted while putting on his clothes: "But the army is coming to kill?"
…
Wang Yongshi tied his clothes around his waist, rolled up his sleeves and charged with his sword: "My sons, defend Sangzi. At this moment, follow me to kill!"
Before these warriors set out, each of them received three taels of silver as a settlement allowance, and after the war, they would also receive a reward of two taels of silver. In addition, Wang Yongshi promised that they would be exempted from the corvee for the next three years, and the labor money would be directly wiped out of the whip tax. .
Five taels of silver and three years of exemption from military service are enough to risk one's life.
All warriors are strong, but those with night blindness are not required.
It's a pity that they don't know how to fight.
During the charge, the troops were in complete chaos. The corps commander could not find his men, and even the commander could not figure out where the corps commander was. He also did not know how to conserve his energy, so he ran at full speed from a long distance. By the time he reached the town, he was exhausted and out of breath.
mob.
Again, the peasant army is worse!
The rioters scattered in the town were awakened by the sound of drums and shouts. They hurriedly dressed and went out to check. Seeing countless torches outside the town, they were so frightened that they immediately turned around and fled, not forgetting to take the looted food with them.
They brought no weapons, only money and food, completely forgetting that they were a rebel peasant army.
Many of the rioters also suffered from night blindness. They panicked and fell into the canal, and many drowned during the night.
"Kill!"
More than five hundred warriors were originally afraid of death, but when they saw this situation, they suddenly lost their fear. Each one of them transformed into a peerless warrior, often daring to chase and kill dozens of people.
The Xiangyong chased them until they lost their organization, and the rebels fled until they lost their organization, and the night attack turned into a chaotic battle.
Zhang Fen and Song Chunming, the two township police station chiefs, no longer looked as embarrassed as they were during the day. At this time, they seemed to be possessed by Lu Bu, waving their waist knives and chasing them all the way. There was no enemy wherever they passed, and they were each on their way to the highlight of their lives.
time.
After Fei Yinghuan pursued for a while, he felt that he was losing interest. He stopped and returned his sword to its sheath, and took out his folding fan to admire the moon and enjoy the cool air.
Wei Jianxiong was too lazy to use a wrought iron rod and just held a torch to catch up. He caught up with a rioter on horseback, captured him and asked, "Where is Ta Po Tian? I told you not to die!"
The rioters replied in horror: "To the east, in Yuan Hu's house."
"Not in town?" Wei Jianxiong asked.
"No, no." The mob was almost stunned with fright.
Wei Jianxiong abandoned this man and rode eastward, shouting: "Hurry up and follow me to kill the leader of the thief!"
When no one responded, they all went crazy and started chasing after them.
Wei Jianxiong had no choice but to ride alone. He didn't know where Mr. Hu's house was, so he guessed the direction and galloped towards the east.
I don't know how far I ran, but I finally saw a few rioters running for their lives with large and small bags on them.
Wei Jianxiong chased them on horseback, beating one to death with a stick, smashing several heads in succession, grabbing the survivors and asking, "Where is Ta Po Tian?"
"I don't know, they all ran away!"
"Asshole!"
Wei Jianxiong was so angry that he smashed the man's brain with his stick.
Ta Potian was also furious at this moment. Officers and soldiers attacked Duliu Town at night. He was safe outside the town. He hurriedly summoned more than two hundred soldiers. He even had time to transport the belongings, and planned to continue fleeing with these teams.
Unexpectedly, after only escaping for one mile, most of the more than 200 soldiers dispersed.
Even the old brothers who were selling soil and salt quietly left the team with their belongings, and they went to who knows where.
The team could not be restrained, and Ta Po Tian was disheartened and said to the remaining hundreds of soldiers: "We are all good brothers fighting together. Now that a disaster is approaching, we won't embarrass everyone. Let's disperse with our belongings."
Everyone was overjoyed and took away their belongings from the car.
But there were still more than ten people left, gathered around Tapotian and refused to leave. They said: "General, surrendering officers and soldiers will lead to death, and returning home to farm will also lead to death. It is better to fight for a future with the general!"
These words rekindled Tapotian's fighting spirit, and he was moved to tears and said: "We are all good brothers. You will not let me down, and I will not let you down. From now on, we will share the blessings and share the hardships. We will share the extra wealth."
No more, just bring food and weapons, bypass Jinghai and go to Yanshan County to start an uprising!"
A rioter with disheveled hair, who was huddled at the back, suddenly stepped forward: "General, I will lead the horse for you. The general is Guan Erye, and I would like to be Zhou Cang."
Ta Potian suddenly laughed: "Haha, it seems that you have also heard of opera, and you have a bit of knowledge. Where did you come from?"
The rioter replied: "General Qi, I live in Zongbao Village, Ziya Town, and my family fled famine to Duliu Town to beg for food. Unfortunately, the sky is blind, and all my family members starved to death. It just happened that the general was doing something big."
"You're so polite, have you ever read a book?" Tapotian asked doubtfully.
The rebels handed over their hands and said, "I studied in the village school for a few years, but unfortunately I didn't get admitted as a scholar. I stopped studying because my family had no money."
Ta Potian said: "I went to Zongbao Village to sell salt. Last year, there was a government official in the village called... what is it called?"
"Gao Eryan, whose courtesy name is Zhongfu," the rebels explained, "that is my elder brother. He is from the main sect, and I am just a side branch. The younger one's name is Gao Ershun."
Ta Potian recalled: "Gao Ershun? I have an impression. Does your family live in the east end of the village?"
The mob said: "Exactly, the general has a good memory."
Ta Potian finally no longer had any doubts and said happily: "Brother Gao is a scholar, so he will be my military advisor from now on. When I become the emperor, you will be the prime minister."
"Thank you, general. I will lead the general's horse." The rebels took the opportunity to step forward.
Tapotian handed the reins to the other party and said: "Commander Gao, I plan to go to Yanshan County to start an uprising. Can you make a plan for me..."
Halfway through his words, he suddenly stopped as a dagger was stabbed into Tupotian's stomach.
The mobster twisted the dagger halfway, pulled it out and stabbed it in again.
After being stabbed several times, Tu Po Tian slowly fell to the ground.
The rebels pulled out their swords and jumped onto their horses with great agility. Without waiting for the other rebels to react, they drove their horses and slashed at them with their swords, shouting: "Gao Eryan, the governor of Ziya Town, is here!"
All the thieves were frightened and fled in all directions.
Gao Eryan immediately turned around, cut off the head of Tu Po Tian, and galloped towards Duliu Town.
"Da da da da!"
After running for a while, the sound of horse hooves was heard in the wilderness.
Gore stood up and shouted: "Who is coming from the other side?"
Wei Jianxiong responded: "Wei Jianxiong, the general under the command of King Jinghai County!"
Gao Eryan held up his head and said: "I am Gao Eryan, the governor of Ziyazhen. The thief's head has broken through the sky and has been killed. The head is here!"
