Chapter 8 Pretending to Occupy a City
At five quarters of Yin time, there was the sound of the morning bell ringing.

Time is up!Liu Ze looked at the city gate happily, and sure enough, with a creaking sound, the city gate was opened.

A group of people who were arranged to pretend to be outside the city gate also began to gather towards the gate, clamoring and lining up to enter the city. Everything seemed to be moving in a good direction.

However, when the team led by the second brother pushed the cart over the small slope, it still attracted the attention of the guards at the gate and the folks, and Liu Ze's heart was in his throat.

If it is acted according to the TV series, the protagonist will usually pass the level without any danger!no problem!But this is not a TV series, and the second brother is not the protagonist!Who knows what will happen next?Moreover, our group is not to pass the checkpoint, but to occupy the checkpoint!
In a small county like Chengcheng, in peacetime, there are basically no regular troops standing guard at the gate, they are just temporary arrests to make up for the number!As for the county government servants, they are generally divided into three groups: the soap class, the fast class, and the strong class.

The soap class is the internal affairs, the fast class is the arresting force, and the strong class is usually stationed at key places such as the gate of the yamen, the city gate, and the city wall.However, normally there are only a few dozen people in a strong class in a small county. When encountering a large number of bandits, rioters, and foreign enemies, it is basically useless to think that it will be of any use. It is not even enough to plug teeth!If it really comes to a critical moment of life and death, usually the most appropriate way is to close the city gate immediately and sign strong men to defend the city.

Of course, only counties with cultural heritage like Chengcheng can do this. In the inland of the Ming Dynasty, there were still a large number of counties without city walls!Especially in times of peace like this.

Although important counties and prefectural cities will be equipped with guards and armed forces within the Qianhusuo, and important intersections will also have inspection departments and the like, but Chengcheng obviously does not have this kind of configuration, and the only armed force is the gang of Dianli Ma People and horses were all wiped out yesterday.

The dozen or so yamen servants at the gate of the city saw the team of the second brother pushing the cart from a long distance, and several people went up to meet them, and the others hurriedly drove away the idlers at the gate of the city.

"Yo! Why did you just go out yesterday and came back early today?" A yamen servant was talking while looking for someone he knew.

"Hey, don't mention it, Master Ma led us to kick a pole nest overnight. No, he grabbed some poles and got a few carts of grain. Today he urged us to report the good news to the county magistrate!" The previous prisoner should be a small boss, seeing this scene, he quickly replied according to the words he had arranged long ago.

Liu Ze supported the black Tang scarf on his head to cover his short hair (a long hat popular for scholars in the Ming Dynasty). Looking at these defenseless yamen servants, Liu Ze couldn't help shaking his head.He looked in the direction of the second brother, only to see that at the very moment, the second brother roared.

"Go!"

The younger brothers who surrounded the grain carts and pretended to be people watching the excitement on both sides, after listening to the second brother's order, picked up their own guys and rushed towards the gate of the city.

But in the blink of an eye, all the guards standing at the door were taken down.They knelt on the ground and rubbed their hands in fear, begging the second brother to save their lives, but the second brother was unmoved at all, and with a wave of his right hand, the younger brother beside him quickly chopped off their heads.

Blood splashed all over the ground, the hungry people at the gate of the city had never seen such a scene!They were so frightened that they hugged their heads and ran around, wishing they could dig a hole in the ground and get out.

Liu Ze was no longer surprised by this scene, but he still held his forehead and secretly mourned for them for a few seconds.

The guards on the tower realized that the situation was not good, and were about to ring the bell to report the news, but before they touched the pestle, they were taken down by the Anzi who had sneaked into the city before.

Seeing that the second brother was almost done, he stopped beating his heart. He climbed onto the empty cart with a slam of his hands and feet, and shouted to the hungry people around him who were trying to escape: "Fathers and folks! I am Wang Er, People call him the second elder brother, and everyone around you has probably heard my name! That dog official Zhang Yaocai urges taxes and food every day, eats people without spitting out bones, who wouldn't be forced to die by him? Today we are here to revolt, just for the sake of Kill that dog official Zhang Yaocai! Open a granary to release grain! Never plunder and harm the people! If the court blames me in the future, I, Wang Er, will bear it alone, and I will never implicate others! Anyone who has the guts will follow me to kill the dog official! Open a granary and release grain !"

After listening to the impassioned speech of the second brother, the hungry people stopped one after another, and they no longer ran away out of fear. Instead, they were excited and wanted to do something.The second brother looked at the people who had calmed down not far away and shouted: "Follow me, dog killer! Open a warehouse to release food!"

Seeing that the second brother had finished speaking, hundreds of young brothers pretending to be ordinary people around him hurriedly echoed hoarsely: "Kill the dog officer! Open the warehouse to release food!" Shouting together with the second brother, "Kill the dog officer, open the warehouse to release the food!"

For a moment, there was a lot of voices, and Liu Ze felt that his ears were going to be deafened.I was still standing in the corner of the square when I was brainwashing the captives last night, and at that time Liu Ze was hurting because of the bloody head, so he didn't appreciate this jaw-dropping scene in detail. When the shouts surrounded him like a flood, Liu Zefang felt extremely shocked.

These hundreds of people are headed by the second brother. Those who can hold knives and guns take knives and guns, and those who have nothing to do will follow. Anyway, they are all fierce. Looking from a distance, they look like a group of beasts that have been hungry for a long time. The county government came running wildly.

Wherever the second brother went, it was like a snowball, getting bigger and bigger, and after a while, thousands of people gathered again, and the whole Chengcheng boiled like a pot of water in an instant.

There are shouts of "Kill the dog officer, open the warehouse and release the food" everywhere!

Liu Ze thought to himself, if he was this dog official, he would be so frightened to pack up his belongings and run away after hearing this deafening roar at this moment!After all, the green hills are still there, so you are not afraid of running out of firewood!However, they were surrounded by our group before and after. Even if the dog official has grown wings, he might not be able to fly with his wings!

I didn't expect that this attack on Chengcheng would be so smooth. It seems that I am really the chosen one, and I am destined to come to this Ming Dynasty to stir up the situation and do a great job!

In the back hall of the county government office in the city, Zhang Zhixian was crossing Erlang's legs, with an incredulous expression on his face: "Say it again?"

"Master, those poor ghosts have already broken through the city gate and rushed towards us! Run quickly! There are tens of thousands of people!"

Zhang Yaocai's face was full of disbelief, how dare those unscrupulous people dare to fight against him?They are usually as timid as mice, and would be so frightened that they would kneel down and beg for mercy at any trouble!Someone must be instigating trouble!
He put down his legs, pulled out the saber from the messenger's waist, and shouted: "Bah! In broad daylight, where are there tens of thousands of people? It must be a hundred or ten troublemakers who took the opportunity to make trouble! Quickly call three classes of government officials, Make the people strong, strong men! Everyone will follow me to suppress the troublemakers!"

But this is the county magistrate's mistake. Now among the three classes of yamen servants in the county seat, there are only a hundred and ten people who can wield knives and guns, plus the guards from the main treasury and other places, all gathered together Up to two hundred people!As for those Liufang, doormen, servants, servants, and messy people, they have no fighting power at all.

But the lack of people is not the main problem. The main problem is that these people are too scattered, and I am afraid that they will not be able to support the county government in time.And the number of people led by the second brother Wang is now spreading to ten, ten to a hundred, there are really more than 1000 people, and it is still increasing!
So when our county magistrate took dozens of armed government servants to the street aggressively, preparing to punish the unruly people and establish his prestige, when he saw the situation on the other side, he immediately retreated.

There are thousands of people in this black and white, and they are all fierce, how can they stand up to them!Unexpectedly, Zhang Yaocai was not reconciled to the thought that he would be the majestic leader of a county, and would be handed over to this group of thieves and thieves.

"Close the gate! Hurry up! Come on! Take my seal and go to the guard station to dispatch troops!" Zhang Yaocai heard the slogans shouted by the people outside, and was so anxious that smoke was coming out of his seven orifices, and a pile of bean-sized sweat flowed from his forehead beads, but he didn't care to wipe them off, he just stamped his feet guiltyly and corrected: "This is rebellion! Rebellion against the imperial court! You should be killed! You should be killed!"

As he spoke, his body trembled, and he couldn't hold the knife in his hand, and fell to the ground with a "boom".

At this time, the gate of the county yamen was slammed, and Zhang Yaocai heard someone outside shouting to smash it open with a beam, and saw someone breaking in from the high wall, but none of the yamen guards dared to step forward to resist, and they all rushed forward. He fled to the backyard, regardless of Zhang Yaocai's safety.

Zhang Yaocai was so frightened that he fell down on the ground, he cried out in his heart, no matter how unwilling he was, the end was already decided.

"Catch Zhang Yaocai, catch it!" Hearing the voice from the backyard, Liu Ze couldn't help sighing, "It's safe now!"

Then he said to Yu Chou who was at the side: "Brother Chou, there is nothing wrong here anyway, why don't you go to other places to see if we can help?"

At this time, Yu Chou was worrying, feeling that he was a hero and had no use for his abilities, and it happened that Liu Ze suggested it. It was really two hammers knocking on one gong, and he wanted to (sound) go together!Yu Chou grinned and nodded quickly in agreement. He took Liu Ze's arm and said in fear of being too late, "Brother Liu is right! Let's go, let's hurry up, there are too many people!"

Hahaha, Liu Ze is also happy in his heart, this little brother is so foolish, one day he will be sold by someone and help others count the money!
But there must be a lot of good things in this county, I have to get some gunpowder first, get a few grenades and explosives to arm myself, otherwise the short knife in my hand will be useless, and someday it will be useless Know how to die!

I can't compete with these strong men who do physical work every day. Although I am big, my strength is far inferior to these laborers. After all, I have thin skin and tender flesh, and I have never done any coolies!But when it comes to brains, those people can't compare to me!

We have to rely on our brains!
"Let's go! Hurry up!"
