Under the deliberate inducement of Zhao Congfu, Wu Hansheng and others, the furious people finally roared like a mountain and a tsunami, and rushed towards the Qing army from all directions like a volcano erupting.
At this time, the Qing army could not help but froze with fear. They never imagined that in their own eyes, they were always honest, cowardly, and submissive. They could only endure unfair treatment and never dared to resist when bullied. Peasants in the Ming Dynasty would actually get angry, and they were not just angry, but even resisted. Unfortunately, their team only had more than sixty people in total. Among the thousands of angry people, they were like an angry sea. A small boat in the rough waves was swallowed up by the huge waves in the blink of an eye.
And even if they wanted to run away at this time, it was already too late, because they were surrounded by angry people on all sides. A mere sixty soldiers were no match for the people, although they also killed several people. , but after all, there were too many people who could not hold them back. The people rushed up, grabbed them, tore their shirts, pulled their armor, beat and kicked them, and some even took away the weapons of the Qing army. , some picked up a stone from the ground and used all possible methods to vent their resentment on the Qing soldiers.
In less than a while, all sixty Qing soldiers were beaten to death by the common people and left to accompany the dozens of Qing minions.
After killing this small group of Qing soldiers, the people's anger finally subsided for a while. At this time, Wu Hansheng took the opportunity to say again: "Folks, we just killed the Tatar minions, and now we have killed these There are dozens of Tatars. If other Tatars find out, they will never give up and will definitely come and kill us all."
After hearing what he said, the people calmed down a little. During the days when they were captured by the Qing army, they had all seen the cruelty and atrocities of the Qing army. They knew that the Qing army absolutely did not need any reason to kill people. If they were To kill all the captured people in Jinan City is definitely not an alarmist statement. Therefore, many people can't help but become frightened when they think of this terrible consequence.
Wu Hansheng could naturally see that his words had an effect, and many people had a look of fear on their faces, but this was exactly what Shang Yi taught him, not only to make the people angry, but also to Bring fear to them. Because although angry emotions can explode with huge power, they come and go quickly. Only fear can enable people to persist for a long time and not dare to relax at all. Although Wu Hansheng cannot fully understand Shang Yi What he meant, but out of trust in Shang Yi, he still followed it unchanged.
Seeing that the people were beginning to become afraid, Wu Hansheng immediately said: "Such a big thing has happened, and it must not be hidden. When the Tatars find out, we will all die. We might as well just go and fight with the Tatars." Fight hard, capture Jinan City, and kill all the Tatars in the city."
After hearing what Wu Hansheng said, the people were all silent. The cowardly character of the small peasants was finally exposed at this moment. Someone whispered: "There are thousands of Tatars in the city, can we defeat the Tatars?" ?”
Wu Hansheng said sternly: "If you can't win, you have to fight. Are you willing to wait here and wait for the Tatars to kill you? If you can't win, you will die. If you wait here, you will die. You will die on both sides. It's better to go there." If we fight against the Tatars, even if we die, it will be worth it. Maybe we can even fight against the Tatars, and no one will have to die."
When he said this, some people with violent personalities were really moved. They were all the people who had been working as minions and the most powerful people in the Qing army. The anger had not passed yet, so they were incited by Wu Hansheng and immediately became angry.
There was renewed momentum, and it also affected Wu Hansheng. However, these people were only a very small part of the group, and the vast majority were still hesitant.
Wu Hansheng immediately said: "Don't worry, folks, I've seen it before. The large group of Tatars left the city early in the morning. There are less than a thousand Tatars in the city. We have tens of thousands. As long as the large group
If we all take action, we will surely defeat the Tatars."
After hearing this, many people among the people breathed a sigh of relief, and many more people responded. However, a considerable number of people were still worried that it would be easier to deal with the fact that there were few Qing troops in the city.
But what if the Qing army's troops come back?
Knowing the worries of the people, Wu Hansheng couldn't help laughing and said: "Don't worry, folks, do you know what the Tatars did when they left the city? The imperial court's 100,000-strong army has already arrived and is about to come.
Retake Jinan Mansion and rescue us. If you don't believe me, just ask him."
As he spoke, Wu Hansheng pointed at Zhao Congfu. Zhao Congfu immediately cooperated and took off the gold medal from his waist, raised it high above his head, and said loudly: "Fellows, I am the Commander-in-Chief of the Jinyi Guard Army. I have been ordered to sneak into Jinan from the fourth rank to pacify Zhao Congfu.
City, cooperate with the army to recover Jinan Prefecture. Therefore, you don’t need to be afraid of the Tatars. Revolt immediately, cooperate with the imperial army, cooperate internally and externally, and break Jinan Prefecture. You can save yourself and make meritorious deeds. Let’s act quickly.”
Although most people don't know what kind of official a fourth-grade Zhenfu is, the name Jinyiwei is not too unfamiliar to the people, and the Ming Dynasty's nearly three hundred years of rule still has a certain degree of prestige in the hearts of the people.
Therefore, when I heard that a large army was coming from the imperial court, and it was an army of 100,000 people, I felt that there was a lot of hope. Although many people were still too cautious, nearly half of the people affected their orders.
When Zhao Congfu and Wu Hansheng met, they also felt that it was great to recruit so many people. Moreover, time was pressing now. If the Qing army came to kill the people before they were ready, they might have just managed to gather the courage.
His strength immediately gave out, so Wu Hansheng immediately said: "Okay, we will set off immediately to seek revenge against the Tatars and fight with them."
"Fight, fight the Tatars."
"Yes, kill the Tatars, take revenge, take revenge."
"I can't bear this breath for a long time. This time, even if I die, I will bring a Tatar to support me."
The people who were incited numbered as many as 30,000 to 40,000, and most of them were young and middle-aged men. Those who supported them at this time were not only angry, but also fearful of death. Because the Qing soldiers guarding them were all arrested.
After being beaten to death, the Qing troops who had changed their shift had not yet arrived, so under the leadership of Zhao Congfu, Wu Hansheng and others, they rushed out of the camp where they were imprisoned. Some people picked up the swords and guns of the Qing soldiers, while others found wooden sticks and benches.
, pot lids can be used anyway, and many people are still empty-handed. Zhao Congfu, Wu Hansheng and others had already figured out the location of the Qing army in the city, and immediately divided the people into four groups, with three of them heading towards the Qing army's station.
March. Another group rushed to the original Jinan magistrate's office, which was the command center of the Qing army in Jinan.
At this time, the Qing soldiers stationed at the station did not know what had happened. After eating lunch, most of them rested in the military camp, and many even took a nap. However, at this moment, Zhao Congfu, Wu Hansheng and others led The people rushed to the station and rushed into the military camp without saying anything.
Although there were soldiers guarding the camp gate, they could not withstand the large number of people. All of a sudden, the people rushed open the camp gate with all their strength and rushed into the military camp.
At the beginning, the Qing soldiers did not pay attention to the common people at all, thinking that they were just a group of useless farmers. Although they were rioting, what ability could they have? They only needed to kill one or two to scare them away immediately. The others immediately calmed down the riot completely.
But many Qing soldiers soon discovered that their ideas were completely wrong. Just after they raised their swords and guns and chopped down or stabbed a civilian to death, the other civilians were not intimidated like in the past, but immediately More people rushed up. Some grabbed their swords and guns and fought for them. Some waved sticks and stones in their hands and smashed them on the heads and bodies of the Qing soldiers. Some people beat and kicked them, and some others held them tightly. He stopped the Qing soldiers and bit them. No matter where he hit, he never let go. He only made the Qing soldiers scream like pigs.
There were so many ants that they killed the elephant. Although the Qing soldiers were all professional soldiers, the number of common people was twenty or thirty times greater than theirs. Moreover, among them were the Imperial Guards and the people from the reconnaissance team who secretly helped. In addition, the common people Now they are all willing to risk their lives. No matter how ruthless the people are, they are afraid of risking their lives. Under such a crazy blow from the people, the Qing soldiers soon couldn't resist it. Many people were beaten to death by the people, and some were in the military camp. They were running around, looking for a place to hide. Many people felt that
At this time, even those who had been hesitant before will be infected by this crazy atmosphere and chase the Qing soldiers desperately, and not only against the soldiers wearing military uniforms, but as long as they see them anyway With pigtails, there is no room for differentiation. He will be beaten violently until he is beaten to death, and then he will look for the next target.
Not long after, chaos broke out in the Qing army's barracks. Some people took away the weapons of the Qing soldiers, hacked and killed them, some searched for Qing soldiers in every tent, and some set fire to the barracks. .And the Qing soldiers and servants, Baoyi, were driven around by the common people.
If they had killed these Qing soldiers before entering the customs, they would not believe that during this operation, they were also chased and beaten by the people of the Ming Dynasty. Many Qing soldiers were running, wondering in their hearts whether these farmers had been injected with chicken blood and suddenly transformed from sheep into lions. When they first captured them, they robbed them all in front of them. When they lost their property, burned their houses, killed their parents, and raped their women, they didn't even fart. It was like a new group of people had changed at this time. It seemed that the world was in chaos. Got it.
Wu Hansheng and Zhao Congfu did not expect that the situation would turn out like this. To be honest, when they accepted the task of Shang Yi, they were very doubtful that they could do it with these peasants who couldn't beat a single slap in the face? But in front of them, they were very doubtful. The facts clearly told them that when the farmers' power and anger fully burst out, what amazing effects it would have. Not to mention that there were only a thousand defenders in the city, even if there were five or six thousand troops, they might not be able to suppress it. This storm was stirred up by the common people.
However, Shang Yi's mission was successfully completed. Now Shang Yi's army could only defeat the Qin army and recover Jinan, thus achieving a successful outcome.
