There is a space for passenger planes in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 71 Civil unrest breaks out
  County seat, Linzhai.

"Son, I heard that there are many refugees coming from outside the city?" Mother Lin asked when she saw Lin Feng coming back.

"Yes, this year is not good, and many people have left their homes and fled." Lin Feng replied.

"These people who have left their homes are pitiful. You have to find a way to resettle them." Mother Lin said with compassion.

Lin Feng picked up a bowl of rice and started eating, and said: "Everything has been arranged. Two porridge sheds have been set up for disaster relief. However, if the number of refugees increases, more porridge sheds may be needed."

"Son, we have nothing to do. Why don't we go outside the city tomorrow to help with porridge and disaster relief?" Mother Lin said, believing that good deeds can only lead to blessings.

"Yeah, brother, we've been bored at home all day, let's go out and do some work." Lin Wanyu also said.

"Okay, okay, but there are many refugees outside the city, so it's not very safe." Lin Feng was a little worried.

"What's wrong with us giving porridge and doing charity? People's hearts are made of flesh." Mother Lin continued.

"Okay, I'll make arrangements tomorrow." Lin Feng thought it wouldn't be a big problem if it wasn't far from the city gate and sent more government officials to protect it, so he agreed.

To the west of Fugu City, a gathering place for refugees.

In a dark shack, a candle was lit, and five or six people gathered around.

A young refugee with a scar on his face said: "I didn't expect the Fugu County government to act so quickly. Today they will provide porridge for disaster relief. If this continues, even if the refugees gather together, everyone will definitely not fight with us if they have food to eat." Yes."

"Yeah, I didn't expect the dog officials here to be willing to give out food for disaster relief." Another black-faced refugee followed.

"I'm not here to drink gruel. I want to conquer the county, eat meat, drink wine, and play with women!" Another bald-headed refugee shouted.

"General Mao, if you invite us over here, can you tell us what to do?" asked the scar-faced refugee who obviously looked like the leader.

"Scar Monkey, this Fugu County is rich. The county government treasury confiscated no less than 5,000 taels from each of our Liu Qian households. There are also several large households with considerable wealth, at least tens of thousands. Two, and there are still several thousand dan of food, so let’s ask you guys if you want it?” The man called the general flag replied, and it turned out to be Mao Dayong from Fugu Baihu Office.

"Of course I want it, but attacking the county seat is not a trivial matter. We have to work it out and see if this refugee can instigate it." The man known as Scar Monkey replied.

He turned out to be a sentry officer in Gaoyingxiang's peasant army. His nickname was Hou Qun, also known as Dao Scar Monkey. After the team was broken up last year, I took a few brothers with me and mingled with the refugees, trying to make a comeback.

"You go to attack the county town. We, Liu Qianhu, have said that no matter who calls for help, the soldiers and horses of the Yulin Guards will never come within three days.

There is only a group of government officials in the county. We can also provide you with some weapons. This time I brought 20 swords. We at the Hundred Household Office will also find reasons not to participate in quelling the chaos. It depends on your courage. "General Flag Mao Dayong continued to encourage.

"I'm afraid of a ball. I've fought with the Ming Dynasty's frontier troops before, so why should I be afraid of the strong-armed government officials?" said a refugee named Bald Zheng, who also used to be a member of the peasant army.

"These days, the brave will be starved to death, and the timid will be starved to death. Just do it!" Several other refugees expressed their opinions one after another.

Seeing that all the bandits had the same opinion, Scar Monkey said: "Let's do it. Tomorrow we will create some chaos outside the city. It is best to deceive Magistrate Lin and kill him together, and then take advantage of the chaos." Attack the city. General Mao Banner, it is best to arrange a few internal agents from your hundreds of households to help us open the city gate when we attack the city. The silver captured then will be divided into half of yours."

"Okay, no problem. It doesn't matter whether we have taels of silver or not. The key is to avenge our Qianhu family. In addition, we have to get back the money confiscated from the Liu family. There are many big families in the county. You can rob a few more. That's fine." Mao Dayong replied.

"Okay, then it's settled." Scar Monkey said.

A group of gangsters finished their deliberations. The moonlight outside seemed to hide their crimes, and the day seemed darker.

County government office.

After Lin Feng convened the county government morning meeting, he also made arrangements for rescuing the refugees. I was about to go back to the public house and read a few documents before going to the outside of the city to check on the disaster relief situation. My mother and little sister were both going there today, so we couldn't be careless.

At this time, Lin Jiakang came in with a note and said: "Your Majesty, someone put a note in your office this morning. Please take a look."

Lin Feng took the note, which read, "Today someone encouraged the refugees to cause trouble and attack the county. A conscientious guard soldier."

"Guard soldiers, it seems that the Qianhu family named Liu is unwilling to be left alone. I wonder why there are so many refugees coming here now." Lin Feng thought to himself. "Ieyasu, ask Fang Tiezhu to come over immediately. Then you immediately go to Sitong Village and ask Fang Dashan to bring 50 more elite guards down the mountain to ambush near the west city gate. When you hear three suona sounds, one long, two short, and three, rush over immediately. ." Lin Feng said as he wrote a warrant and handed it to him.

"Understood, I'll do it right away." Lin Jiakang took the warrant and ran out.

Soon, Fang Tiezhu came over. As he walked, he asked: "County Lord, do you have a mission?"

"Yes, someone wants to incite the refugees to rebel today. Go back immediately and quietly bring out the people's strength team in two groups. One group will be on standby near the west city gate in the name of training; the other group will rush outside the city to protect the people who are giving soup. ."

"Understood!" Fang Tiezhu immediately went to do it.

Lin Feng thought that it would take some time for Fang Tiezhu to gather the team, so he called Fang Xiaoyu, took a few government officials, and followed him to the outside of the city.

As soon as I walked to the west door, I heard noise coming from the porridge shed.

"How can we eat this porridge when it is so thin and there is gravel in it? The food provided by the court for disaster relief must have been stolen by these corrupt officials. Let's all join together and cook the porridge ourselves after grabbing the food." A refugee shouted .

He was the first in line today. After getting the porridge, he quietly threw a handful of sand into the porridge pot while others were unprepared. A group of people following him all got the porridge with sand and gravel.

As a result, everyone's dissatisfaction immediately aroused, and a group of refugees began to surround them.

"Everyone, please don't make trouble. I saw that the leader threw gravel into the pot. Do you think there is any gravel in this rice?"

Zhao Jialiang, who was helping at the porridge stall, became anxious and immediately grabbed a handful of rice and explained to everyone.

"Don't listen to this lackey of the imperial court. He's trying to steal food. The food he grabs is yours."

The leading refugee shouted loudly and kicked Zhao Jialiang down. Several people who were obviously mixed in the crowd also began to gather around. The evil thoughts of smashing, smashing and robbing were instantly aroused in the refugees' hearts.

Lin Feng immediately rushed to Mother Lin and Lin Wanyu's stall at the porridge stall and shouted: "Mom, little sister, you hurry back to the city, there is going to be trouble here. Xiaoyu, hurry up and send them back."

Lin Feng himself was planning to stay and quell the chaos. Anyway, Fang Tiezhu and the others would be arriving soon.

When Mother Lin and the others saw that the situation was not right, they immediately followed Fang Xiaoyu into the city.

At this time, Zhao Jialiang's porridge stall had been overturned by rioters, and the refugees began to loot food.

Zhao Jialiang tried to lead others to stop him, but was quickly knocked to the ground. Fortunately, the refugees had no weapons at this time and no casualties were caused.

Then a few obviously stronger refugees began to dismantle the poles on the porridge stall, preparing to make them into weapons such as wooden sticks.

Once this civil unrest is ignited, it will sweep over like locusts.

"We're attacking the city. Take the county seat. Let's drink from big bowls and eat big chunks of meat!" Not long after, Scar Monkey and the others appeared on the scene, rushing over with dozens of refugees holding machetes.

"Retreat, retreat into the city quickly! Hide on the spot before it's too late!" Lin Feng saw the situation deteriorating rapidly and shouted to the county government staff who were still giving porridge just now, and he was also preparing to retreat into the city.

At this time, Fang Xiaoyu had returned from sending Mother Lin and the others into the city gate, and said, "Your Majesty, Miss Li from the Li Mansion is giving porridge over there, and she hasn't withdrawn yet."

Lin Feng took a look and saw a porridge stall three or four hundred meters northwest of the city gate with the word "李" flying in the air. A slender figure in a green skirt was looking at the mob at a loss, a maid and several members of the Li family. The nurse is protecting her.

"Let's go!" Lin Feng immediately took Fang Xiaoyu and several government officials and rushed towards the Lifu porridge stall.
