Amidst their agitation, the people seemed a little at a loss as to whether they should go or not. But not long after, some scholars appeared in the crowd, loudly encouraging everyone, saying that they were willing to lead everyone to petition!
At the call of the scholar, many people appeared in the local crowd and followed them. Among the many people who were gathering to watch the excitement, some were flexible or confused and couldn't help but follow them! There were also some who were willing to watch.
The lively people also followed and left.
At the same time, some people who didn't want to move suddenly found someone around them enthusiastically pulling them forward. They were wrapped up in the crowd in a daze, and then they were carried forward by the crowd. The same situation happened in many places!
In this way, many small groups of people appeared from various places, and then the small groups of people merged into large groups and moved towards various targets. Some people in the group shouted loudly, "Drive out the temptresses and restore the Qingming Festival to Tianjin!"
"Capital, take away the servants" and other slogans!
The person who took the lead in shouting slogans shouted at the top of his lungs, shaking the mountains and rivers! Even the people who followed him were infected, became impassioned, and started shouting loudly!
Even the common people who were confused and mixed into the crowd felt that they seemed to have participated in something great, and they became excited and shouted from time to time!
As the crowd gathered, there were more and more people, but there was no confusion, as if someone was leading the crowd. The gathered crowd headed towards Liu Haojia's mansion, Liansheng Bank and Deyi Tea House, and soon these three places were
The surrounding area is blocked!
However, there are some differences between these three places. The doors of Liansheng Bank and Deyi Teahouse were tightly closed, and even the windows were blocked by baffles. No one showed up. However, Liu Haojia's mansion had people guarding it on the wall, and it looked like
There are quite a few people.
Fortunately, the people surrounding these three places did not mess around. They just kept shouting various slogans under the leadership of some people. What about "Tianjin affairs should be managed by the imperial court, Wu Ning will return"
Go to the capital!", and "Wu Ninghou colluded with outsiders, he is ashamed of his fellow villagers!" etc. The slogans were shouted loudly!
Moreover, the slogans shouted by some people at Liu Haojia's residence were quite unpleasant! They shouted, "The witch has deceived Wu Ninghou, come out and die!"
The whole Tianjin was thrown into chaos by the people who gathered, and was shaken by the slogans! Ordinary people closed their doors one after another, and every household hid women and children in hidden places, while the men carried various kinds of weapons.
Something full of weapons stood in the yard cautiously to prevent anyone from rushing in!
However, they didn't know that there were some people outside the city who were also wearing civilian clothes and shouting slogans, blocking the gate of the military camp. There were only more than 300 ordinary guards in the military camp, facing more than 2,000 people.
I can only stay behind closed doors.
Just when Tianjin was in chaos, there were more and more people in the military camp outside the city! They blocked the camp gate tightly, but they didn't dare to get too close to the camp gate because the gate was obviously guarded.
In fact, most of the people gathered here were led by the He Gang and the Cangzhou Gang. They had already received news that there were only more than 300 people guarding the military camp, which was very sparse. So their purpose was to defend the camp.
That’s it.
As for other businesses, they have closed their doors. The boss or shopkeeper and his assistants have blocked all the doors and windows, and picked up all kinds of people to guard the stores. Now these people are praying that no one will set fire to them.
In fact, Mr. Wang and others do not intend to turn Tianjin into a scorched earth, because that will confirm the charge of mob rebellion! What they need is a large-scale gathering to give the illusion that Wu Ninghou is causing public resentment, so as to cooperate with the imperial court.
The people decided to expel Liu Haojia and achieve the goal of controlling Tianjin.
So not only did they not set fires, but both gangs sent many people to maintain order on various streets. So at the beginning, the crowd was peaceful except for shouting slogans.
But as the saying goes, plans don't change quickly. Just when the people found that although there was chaos outside, no one came to the door, and the merchants were a little relieved, the gangsters who had recently flowed in from other places finally took action!
When chaos broke out in Tianjin at the beginning, they were extremely happy! Because only when there was chaos could they fish in troubled waters! But when they braved the streets and took to the streets, they found that there were actually people temporarily maintaining law and order, which was not what they wanted!
But naturally they will not fight with the people from the He Gang! Tianjin is so big anyway, how can the people from the He Gang protect them all! So these people began to flow towards the place where the common people live. And these people merged with the local Tianjin
After some remaining hooligans saw the chaos outside, their evil thoughts naturally reappeared!
After tentative contact between the two sides, the two sides hit it off and jointly started to attack ordinary people! However, those people from the Qianhe Gang mainly protected the places where the gentry and merchants were located. Because they could not afford to offend the gentry, they also needed to extort money from the merchants in the future.
, naturally they will not let anything happen to them, so ordinary people are considered unlucky!
At the beginning, these rogues just picked up empty houses and broke into them. But the more they harvested, the bolder they became! Especially when two or three groups met and merged into one.
As time goes by, the courage of the people and horses becomes even greater!
Now they are no longer willing to break into empty houses. If they see someone who might be rich, they will gather together to break in and rob the money! Suddenly, the place where ordinary people live is full of crying and fighting!
But fortunately, these people are just looking for money. They just beat the men in the family until they can't resist and then leave them aside. If they encounter a woman and touch them casually, they will let it go easily! There are even more criminals who are bold and want to create
If there is even greater chaos, just set fire to the residence!
But these people are also cunning. They don't really set the house on fire when they set fire. Instead, they choose some larger yards, gather some igniting things in the center of the yard and light them directly! After all, they are seeking money. If they really cause a fire,
, not to mention all the money is burned, maybe even you will be involved!
But the fireworks caused even greater chaos! Because people who saw the fireworks didn't know what they were doing, they just thought there was a fire around their homes, so the people rushed out of the streets crying! Someone organized
To put out the fire, some people are running for their lives, and those gangsters are looking forward to this time even more!
