Yaoshan County has been occupied for twenty days, and it is now completely silent. Walking onto the streets, except for the occasional soldiers patrolling the streets, no one can be seen at all.
Turning into the courtyard of a wealthy family in the north of the city, in the flower hall of the courtyard, a group of people were drinking wine with their faces flushed.
Sitting in the middle, surrounded by everyone, was Li Miele, the leader of the Dunyu Mountain rebellion.
His original name was Li Wanyi. After claiming to be Maitreya Buddha, he simply changed his name to Li Maitreya.
Sitting next to him were the three and four leaders, Wei Chiguo and Bao Changcheng.
Since the so-called Four Heavenly Kings came to the world, they had to change their names to something like that.
The circle of people outside are all Li Milu's confidants. Most of them are monks who have been sorted out in the temple. Now everyone's hair is short and stiff, just like the fields after the autumn harvest, not good-looking. A few people simply go to
A piece of cloth was wrapped around the head.
"Big Chief, what's wrong with the army? They surrounded us for more than twenty days and didn't attack the city or persuade us to surrender. What on earth are they doing?"
A short-haired man asked, biting the chicken drumstick in his hand.
"What are you doing? It must be that we haven't decided on the official position to recruit us yet." Li Milue said carelessly.
"Big Chief, are you really going to recruit us?"
"Of course we will be recruited. This has been like this since the founding of the Song Dynasty. After the rebellious people were recruited, most of them were incorporated into the Xiang army, and then the leaders awarded them official positions. With my worth, I should at least be given an observation envoy."
"Observer, how big an official is this?"
"The fifth-rank official, when the time comes for the governor of Zhaozhou, when he sees me, he will also call me the senior official, Lieutenant Li."
There was a sound of sucking cold air in the flower hall.
Zhizhou, in the eyes of everyone, is a high-ranking official who is as high as the sky. He actually wants to call the leader a high-ranking official. This is absolutely nothing.
"Big leader, what about us?" Several minions asked impatiently.
"Stop talking about giving me a commander, a county captain or something like that. How about, follow me, brother, you are just smoking from your ancestral graves!"
"Thank you, brother!" Everyone saluted hurriedly, looking like a mess like the hozens on the mountain paying tribute to the Monkey King.
However, the big leader was very impressed and sat there with his head raised and laughing.
The mouth opened wide, revealing yellow and black teeth, with the cracks full of meat residue. The burnt yellow and blue tongue trembled in laughter, like a flailing snake.
"Brother, we heard that before the official took the throne, he led troops to Huainan to suppress the rebels. Thousands of people were killed, and there was no reward at all."
A monk said hesitantly.
"Who did you listen to?"
"When I was still in the temple, I heard from a pilgrim who worshiped Buddha that he was the executioner of Lincheng County..."
There was silence in the flower hall. Everyone looked at the big leader expectantly, eager to hear the "truth" they wanted to hear from his mouth.
The big leader's face changed back and forth several times, and finally he calmed down and yelled loudly.
"Nonsense! At that time, the official family was still in Qiandi... Do you know what Qiandi means?"
Everyone in the flower hall shook their heads repeatedly. What exactly is Qidian? It should not mean the same thing as diving into the bottom.
"It's just that he hasn't become an official yet. It's just the king's wish. When he was still a king, he almost didn't sit on the throne because he killed innocent people so indiscriminately. Later, he promised the people of the world that he would never do this again in the future.
We must abide by the laws of our ancestors. My uncle..."
The big leader let it slip and quickly changed the word, "Many of our village elders and scholars, representing the prefectures and counties, went to Kaifeng City to participate in the official enthronement ceremony. At that time, the official promulgated the imperial edict in public. Do you know what the imperial edict means?
?Forget it, even if you tell me, you don’t know, it’s more effective than a formal edict..."
"I used the imperial edict in front of everyone to say that we must abide by the laws of our ancestors in the future. The laws of our ancestors are to pacify the troubled people. Isn't that what Master Zong did? It's just that he refused to give us official positions, so he was given the job by the officials. Removed from office."
Everyone listened to the leader's eloquent words, which were full of words they couldn't understand, and nodded repeatedly, just like a group of chickens pecking at the rice on the ground.
"Do the officials' words really count?" Some people still couldn't believe it.
These people captured the three county towns of Neiqiu, Yaoshan and Longping, burned, killed, looted, raped and looted, causing great harm to more than 10,000 people who had no time to escape.
It's incredible to think that he was able to put the blame in the past and be promoted to an official position. I really can't believe it.
"Of course. In our Song Dynasty, the officials and the scholar-bureaucrats jointly ruled the world. The scholar-bureaucrats were half the masters of the world. The benevolent and virtuous did not kill. This was the rule set by the scholar-bureaucrats and the law of the ancestors. The officials You must abide by it even if you don’t want to!”
The big leader said proudly, with an expression on his face as if he was the representative of the scholar-bureaucrats in the world.
"This kind of kindness is good! We like this kind of kindness!" Everyone said with a smile.
After everyone was full of food and wine, they bowed one after another, confessed their sins, and left. After a while, they heard the sound of a woman crying from a distance.
Bao Changzhang lingered and refused to leave. He waited until everyone had left and then came over.
"Tell me, what do you want to tell me?"
"First Chief, Second Chief is in Longping County. I heard that there was a Manjushri Bodhisattva descending to earth, which attracted many people to run over." Bao Zengzeng said.
After the three county towns of Neiqiu, Yaoshan and Longping were conquered, several leaders discussed and robbed all the people in Neiqiu, and then moved all the people in the city to Yaoshan and Longping counties. Then Li Miele occupied Yao On the mountain, Zhang Wenshu occupied Longping, and the four heavenly kings, together with many generals and soldiers who protected the Dharma, also added two to five, each taking half.
Yaoshan and Longping County are only a dozen miles apart, so they can be at each other's horns.
After listening to Bao Zengcheng's words, Li Maitreya snorted and said disdainfully: "I am Maitreya Buddha. No matter how hard he tries, he is just a Bodhisattva. He is one level lower than me. Even if the court recruits him, I can be an observer, and he can stand up to the sky." It’s useless no matter how many tricks you play as a group trainer, don’t worry about him.”
"I knew the big leader was stable. This..." Bao Zengzeng spoke hesitantly and evasively, making Li Milue a little impatient.
"If you fart, let it go!"
"Big Chief, Lin Dahu's daughter, you have been playing for more than ten days, are you tired of it?"
Li Milue snorted, with a sneer of disdain on his face.
"I knew you had bad intentions, you bastard. Didn't you steal Zhang Dahu and You Dahu's wives, concubines, and daughters?"
"I killed two of them by accident, and there is still one left. I'm really tired of playing. But she has her benefits," Bao Changzhang leaned into Li Miele's ear and muttered a few words.
"Real or fake?" Li Milue seemed a little interested.
"You'll know after you give it a try, big boss," Bao Changzeng replied with an apologetic smile.
"Well, you send her here and take Miss Lin with you. But you have to be careful with her. You'll have to pay her back when the time comes. I can't bear to part with Miss Lin."
Bao Changzhang beamed and said, "You know, I will never wear it out. When the time comes, the jade will be returned to Zhao."
"What the hell!" Li Mile cursed, "My surname is not Zhao."
At night, the streets of Yaoshan County are as quiet as mass graves. From time to time, cries come from somewhere, like lonely ghosts crying. Occasionally there are a few lights in the houses on the street, like floating will-o'-the-wisps.
The rebel soldiers who were kicked and kicked by their superiors were forced to patrol the streets. When they saw this scene, they couldn't help but shrink their necks and cursed fiercely.
"You're a straight bitch, you hugged a woman and slept happily, but you drove us out to suffer! You're such a naughty bitch, brothers, you guys should find a place to relax for a while."
"Okay, let's go together!"
Outside the south gate of Yaoshan City, the 48th Infantry Regiment A gathered here.
The regiment leader called out the names of the people.
"Yebang!"
"exist!"
"You lead a platoon to cover the demolition team and push the demolition truck to the south gate of Yaoshan to prevent them from rushing out if they hear any noise inside. The regiment has organized a good shooting team and will provide crossbow support."
"yes!"
Ye Pang was about to get up and go to his platoon when he was grabbed by the regiment commander.
"Ye Erlang, you have to be careful. The things in this demolition truck are not vegetarian. Listen to the command of the demolition team and when told to retreat, spread your legs and run back as hard as you can. After passing the safety line, squat down with your head in your hands. Don't lie down on the ground, it will cause internal injuries. Don't show off! Knives and gunpowder will not recognize you as my nephew."
"I understand, Captain."
"Stay alive and keep the two roots of your Ye family. During the battle at Jinmingzhai, your grandfather, your uncle, and your father were trapped there in order to save a few of our brothers. I can't let them die."
"Captain, I'm not afraid. My mother-in-law is pregnant. Even if she gives birth to a daughter, she still has my brother." Ye Pang replied with a playful smile.
"Go away, you stupid bitch!" the group leader cursed and watched Ye Pang disappear into the night. This chapter has been completed!
