Chapter 104 Bandits attack the city. (Please subscribe!)

After half an hour.

The grain merchants who were called over complained in a low voice about how bad the banquet was, and left in twos and threes.

As for selling food at a low price, or donating food to save the disaster victims, they didn't even mention it.

What a shit grandson.

Just a little furry kid with no hair at all.

You want to play tricks with us, but you're a little too tender.

Thinking about today, seeing them crying about the grandson who didn't even mention the matter of buying grain, they felt a wave of contempt in their hearts.

After sending these grain merchants away, Zhu Zhangui, accompanied by Lu Xin, the chief envoy of the Jinan government, inspected the situation in the city.

I focused on observing the granaries where the grain was stacked and the shops that sold the grain.

Looking at the grain piled up in granaries and shops, Zhu Zhangui nodded with satisfaction.

Back at the chief envoy's yamen, Zhu Zhangui took Lu Xin and talked for a long time in a tightly guarded room.

When it came out, Lu Xin's face was so bitter that juice dripped out.

"Your Highness, do we really want to do this? If the news gets out, then we will be famous in the annals of history."

Thinking of Zhu Zhangui's crazy idea just now, Lu Xin was worried for a while.

That is a place affiliated with the Kong family. If what they did was going to be spread, the two of them would be scolded by scholars all over the world.

Even a little more radical, directly writing the two people in the book, those two people are not only famous in this era of Ming Dynasty, but also in future generations.

Zhu Zhangui put on a serious face: "If you don't want to do it, I can find someone else, and you go to the prison and wait."

When he heard that he was going to prison, Lu Xin shook his head like a rattle.

"I didn't say I would quit. I was worried that so many people would participate. If the news leaked out in the future, your Highness would be boycotted by scholars all over the world."

Zhu Zhangui waved his hand.

"That's my business, you just do what I explain."

After Zhu Zhangui waved his hand, the two guards stepped forward.

Zhu Zhangui looked at the two of them and said: "This world is not safe. Ambassador Lu Bu is a literati and has no power to restrain a chicken. I am worried that he is in danger. From today onwards, we will protect him."

Lu Xin's face collapsed.

Yep, it's being watched.

After arranging the protectors, Zhu Zhangui looked at Lu Xin and said, "I'm satisfied. Not only can you save your life afterwards, but you may even be able to raise your position."

Lu Xin's eyes lit up sharply.

Who doesn't like being promoted.

When I have reached the stage of chief executive, I am already at the end of the local official, and if I want to go further, I will go to the capital.

With his current status, he was at least a member of the Six Departments when he entered the capital.

Thinking of the position of a senior member of the Six Departments, Lu Xin straightened his chest, looked at Zhu Zhangui and said solemnly: "Your Highness, don't worry, even if I die, I will complete your explanation. From now on, I will be your Highness' leader."

Zhu Zhangui nodded in satisfaction, patted Lu Xin on the shoulder and turned to leave.

Soon, a message came from the city.

Taisun Zhu Zhangui decided to inspect all the disaster areas and count the number of victims so as to prepare for the next disaster relief.

At the same time, in order to protect the safety of His Highness and prevent being hurt by villains, 4000 soldiers from the Shenji Battalion accompanied him to protect him.

With 4000 soldiers, Zhu Zhangui left Jinan Prefecture at noon under the grateful eyes of the victims and disappeared at the end of the road.

In the evening, a more exciting news came.

His Highness Taisun was attacked by gangsters in Dongchang Mansion. The remaining soldiers of the Shenji Battalion were eager to save the savior. 2000 cavalry rushed to the rescue, leaving only 1000 infantry guarding the camp and maintaining the order of the disaster camp.

People inside and outside the city were panicked when they heard the news.

Bad guys came out at this time, and 2000 cavalry were sent urgently.

This means that some places can't stand the hunger and have risen.

Thinking of war, whether it is the rich or the victims of the disaster, everyone is panicked.

Shandong is a battleground for military strategists.

In the battle of Jingnan that year, many battles broke out in Shandong.

The people in Shandong, who have suffered so much from the war, have finally seen the dawn of the disaster, and naturally do not want to experience the suffering of the war again.

After dark, the Shenji Camp ordered the camp to be under martial law. No matter what happens, no one is allowed to leave the camp and run around until His Royal Highness Taisun returns.

Jinan City also issued this order, and demanded that no one is allowed to walk on the street after dark. Once caught, no matter who it is, they will be treated as villains and beheaded on the spot.

Soon it was nearly midnight.

Five miles away from the east gate of Jinan, a group of men dressed in rags but holding sharp weapons, led by a man in a tiger skin cloak and with a blindfold on his left eye, were quickly approaching the city wall.

The number of these people is very large, almost 4000 people.

Everyone is strong and strong, and they are full of toughness.

Soon, this group of people approached Sanli.

With a wave of the leader wearing a tiger-skin cloak, the fast-moving team stopped.

"The third leader, there are still 1000 people in the Shenji Camp in the south of the city, and the people you brought will deal with them."

The leader in a tiger-skin cloak turned around to look at a guy with a dog-skin hat on his head, and assigned his combat targets.

The third master, wearing a dog fur hat, responded with a suppressed smile, and led 1000 bandits with smiles on their faces to the south of the city where the Shenji Camp was located.

"Let's go, let's grab food!"

After the third leader in the dog fur hat led the people away, the first leader in the tiger fur cloak waved at the rest of the people and slowly walked towards the north gate.

The reason why they gave up the nearest east city and attacked the north city instead was because the gate of the north city was the closest to the granary.

After the North City Gate is captured, it will be more convenient to transport food.

Soon, the bandits approached the North City Gate.

What is surprising is that the suspension bridge over the moat of the North City Gate has been lowered, and the huge city gate is still slightly open.

Looking at the lowered suspension bridge and the open city gate, the head of the family smiled slightly and waved forward.

Hundreds of soldiers carrying shields wrapped in cloth rushed towards the city gate.

The reason why the shield is wrapped in cloth is not how much these guys cherish the shield, but because there are signs on it that will be exposed.

Today, when I was wrapping the shield, the shield soldiers were complaining about why they wanted to engrave the logo on the shield, wouldn't this cause them trouble.

"Squeak!"

The city gate, which was slightly open, was pushed open by more than a dozen soldiers.

The wide city road appeared before everyone's eyes.

The little bandit leader with the shield glanced at the surrounding urn wall, and after confirming that there was really no one there, he sent a team to occupy the upper city wall and the mechanism that controlled the suspension bridge, and when he walked to confirm that the task was completed, he pushed hard The last one to the door.

As the door opened, the blindfolded head of the family grinned and swung the big knife in his hand forward.

"Brothers, those rich businessmen are rich and unkind. Not only do they not help the people in this disaster year, but they also sell food at high prices, and even force us to rent. If we can't survive, then no one in the world can survive, rush in Grab all the food and starve these sons of bitches to death, go!"

"Starve these sons of bitches to death, kill them!"

Soldiers... Uh, that's not right, it was the bandits who were excited by these words, brandishing weapons, and rushed into the city shouting.

Among them, many old bandits, the blood on their bodies was boiling!

Damn it's been almost a year now, I'm almost suffocated, I'm being watched every day, this can't be done, that can't be done, it still feels so good!

It's a pity that the head of the family has confessed that this time only food will be robbed, and money and ordinary people are not allowed to be robbed.

Whoever dares to disobey, the officer leading the team, no, the little leader leading the team will behead him on the spot.

If the little boss makes a mistake, the whole team will sit together.

And those newly joined bandits excitedly followed behind the old bandits, finding it very interesting.

After all, in normal times, this industry is the target of their suppression.

It is really the first time for his mother to experience the joy of this kind of profession in person.

How does it feel to ask them now?
They will reply without hesitation, it feels really cool.

In the city, the Lin family.

Elder Lin, who had just finished harvesting yin and tonifying yang yesterday, was in a bad mood all day today, so he went to rest early as soon as it got dark.

Older people feel shallow.

He who was sleeping soundly, was startled by the sudden killing cry and sat up on his buttocks.

The two maids who warmed his feet were suddenly awakened by him, and they kicked and grunted.

Ignoring the two maids, Mr. Lin ran to the window tremblingly with bare feet, listening to the sounds outside.

As he listened, his face slowly became serious.

He was all too familiar with that voice.

I don't know how many times I have experienced it in this life.

The chaos at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang's battle for unification, and Zhu Di's battle for Jingnan.

He has experienced all these wars, and even happened many times in Jinan Prefecture.

No matter who wins or loses a war, it is a disaster for the people.

And for rich households like them, there is even more danger of extinction.

After all, when those rebellious soldiers go crazy and grab things, their first target is rich households like them.

"Father, father, the bandits have entered the city, densely packed with people, the officers and soldiers didn't stop them, and those bandits went straight to the granary."

The eldest son of Lin was so anxious that he knocked on the door frantically and told the bad news.

"These mud legs that kill thousands of knives, they have stepped on them a long time ago."

Old Lin cursed in a low voice, and yelled at the eldest son who was still knocking on the door: "You bastard, what are you doing here? Why don't you go to the Shenji Camp and let them drive the bandits away. "

"Also...send people to contact those bandits and tell them that we are willing to give you ten thousand taels of silver and let them take some grain and leave. Don't burn the grain that cannot be taken away."

"Oh, I'll go right now."

Young Master Lin, who was a little flustered, heard his father's order and quickly turned around and ran outside. At the same time, he yelled to the housekeeper who was waiting outside to quickly go to Shenji Camp to find someone and send someone to contact those bandits.

The granary of the Lin family in the north of the city.

The guards and thugs were cut down to the ground almost without any resistance, and some even raised their hands and surrendered when they saw the bandits' strength.

Nothing is as important as your own life.

It's not worth risking your own life for some food.

Wu Laosan, who was kneeling on the ground, looked at the bandits who were pushing grain outside the city in a horse-drawn cart, trembling with fright.

Why is my luck so bad during this time?
Yesterday, I was so scared that I peed my pants by a stinky mound, and today I ran into a bandit again, and almost lost my life.

If he hadn't been clever just now and knelt down and surrendered immediately, I'm afraid he would be cut into several pieces just like those unlucky ones.

Thinking of the thrilling adventure just now, Wu Laosan was afraid for a while.

He has already made up his mind.

If I can save my life this time, I will find a chance to leave Jinan Mansion and never come back again.

Thinking about his future plans, Wu Laosan planned to get close to the bandits in custody, hoping to save his life.

And just at this moment, a bandit carrying a bag of grain walked past him.

When Wu Laosan looked up, he happened to see the other party's face.

Hey, why does this person look so familiar?Where do you seem to have seen it?

Looking at the back of the bandit who was about to leave, Wu Laosan frowned and thought for a while, then he was suddenly shocked.

Damn, isn't that guy the soldier who threatened him yesterday!

Thinking of this, he suddenly looked up at the other bandits who were busy carrying food, and made a bold guess in his heart.
