Begging in late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 273
A decadent atmosphere condensed over the Wu'an Peasant Army.

There is no way out, no tomorrow, hunger to the limit can make people take up arms, to contend with the court, and the sky above the head, the belief that the peasant army relies on to survive is only to eat big families, they have no lofty ideals, There is no systematic battle plan, and even no plan for where to go tomorrow, but now two 10,000+ people have fought several consecutive defeats, and more than half of them have dispersed, and they are still besieged in this big river and the vast Taihang. There is no guarantee of survival, especially the cold, hunger, and disease are still tormenting the peasant army. At this time, the 36 battalions and 72 battalions that have been killed in Shaanxi are almost demoralized.

The entire huge military camp was lifeless, except for the simple sheds and tents, there were hardly any people to be seen. In the stables, a large group of people hugged their horses to keep warm. In the camp, all kinds of frozen corpses were thrown on the road. , there is not even a body collector, no one knows how long this painful siege will last, most people are already desperate.

In this state, as long as the officers and soldiers work hard, the peasant uprising at the end of the Ming Dynasty might just disappear like this.

But at this moment, Nanying, who was closest to the shore, suddenly came alive, as if a pot had boiled.

"It's a coat! A coat!"

"There are also cotton shoes and cotton socks!"

"This cotton hat is mine! Don't snatch it!"

A whole boat was dragged ashore. The boatman on the top threw the box down, and the hungry and cold peasant army immediately went up and looted it excitedly. Seeing that some clothes were torn, the commanding poker face pouted helplessly. yelled
"Don't snatch it! You have all the bastard stuff, and if you snatch it again, it won't be released!"

There was a lot of trouble at this end, and in the camp, those brains and brains were also arguing.

"If I want to tell you, let's go west and die in our hometown. It's better than freezing to death here!"

The two nearsighted eyes were almost cross-eyed, and the blood vessels on Geliyan's neck burst out. He stepped on the table and roared. The military leader and the battalion owner were also mobilized, and responded with the roar, but before the wave caused by Geri's eye had passed, cold laughter had already sounded from the side.

"If you miss, you will die by yourself. There are the most soldiers in Shaanxi in the west, and Hong Yan Wang is in power. You are living uncomfortable. I haven't lived enough to hold my arms and my legs are crossed. Luo Rucai is no different from a street ruffian. , swaying his feet, Cao Cao said with a sinister smile: "I, Cao Ying, must go north. He is a fool in Song Dynasty and lives comfortably in Dai County. I don't believe that I can occupy a county without the strength. Are you willing?" Send yourselves to death, anyway, I'm going to find him Fool Song! "

"Damn dare!" On the opposite side, Zhang Xianzhong, the eighth king who was also beaten back from Shaanxi, his yellow-faced tiger beard stood up, and he patted the wooden stake and suddenly stood up. Hastily grabbed his sleeve, pulled him away hurriedly, on the other side, seeing Luo Rucai dangling that ugly scarred face and provocatively, Chuang Wang Gao Yingxiang also twitched angrily at the corners of his mouth.

Gao Yingxiang is not so kind, he is also selfish, now that Zijinliang is dead, it is a blow to the entire rebel army, but it is also an opportunity for him, because there is no one who is older than him, but in case Song Qingshu wants to go north Food needs money and money, this gang of bastards will definitely have milk and mothers, they must rely on it, and when the time comes, they will have to send Song Qingshu, a junior, under the fence.

"Lao Luo, going west is a dead end, and going north is not peaceful. The Cao family's two yin soldiers block the way, and Zuo Liangyu, the left savage, leads the Liaodong barbarian soldiers. Now that we are exhausted, going west may not mean looking for death! "

"That's right! King Chuang is right. Cao Shuai, you and Cao Wenzhao belong to the same family. You should know what your family is capable of, right?"

There are everyone in the peasant army, there is Cao Cao, and naturally there is Liu Bei, and it seems that Liu Bei has a better reputation. There are actually three camp owners who are nicknamed Liu Bei. Little Liu Bei, it was Big Liu Bei who spoke, he was Gao Yingxiang's dog leg, and he would agree with whatever Gao Yingxiang said.

But this Luo Rucai is really a bachelor, Chuang Wang even tried to persuade him, but this guy still didn't care about Ang's face: "Whoever said that he was going to break in by force, I called Daixian Song fool all over the road, I don't believe him Song Qingshu Don't worry, don't send troops to rescue!"

"You fucking screwed you up, believe it or not, I'll chop you up right now!" Zhang Xianzhong rushed over furiously, wanting to give this bastard something to look good for, not to mention that Song Qingshu is his adopted brother, his favorite adopted son He is still in foster care with him, and my brother is finally getting better. This bastard is going to bring trouble like a disaster that annoys everyone. If Zhang Xianzhong can bear it, he will not be called the Eight Great Kings.

This time, Gao Yingxiang's long yellow face also became gloomy. At this juncture, Luo Rucai dared to challenge his authority, which made the ambitious Grandpa Wang Chuang very unbearable. He roared: "I have made up my mind. The army will go south and go to Henan to create a world."

"Come on, King Chuang, the big river in the south is blocking the way, and the Yellow River has never been frozen. How many 10 people flew over?"

It was still Cao Cao who was annoying to everyone, and Gao Yingxiang was so angry that he wanted to draw his sword.

"Where there is a river, there is a boat. At worst, you can cut wood to build a boat, and push it across with a raft. I don't believe it. Is it still a net?"

"The officers and soldiers on the opposite side are guarding the archery. In the cold winter months, the raft is frozen to the ground. If you pass by, you will die. I want to go to you, King Gao Chuang, by yourself. I might as well live here for a few more days in comfort!"

So many people have been yelling, but among the leaders of the Peasant Army, only one person is watching coldly. After a while, he saw that his uncle was really furious and wanted to fight Cao Cao. Forget it, Li Zicheng stood up shouting stand up.

"Uncle! Everyone! Can you just listen to me!"

Li Zicheng was also a leader in the peasant army, and he was quite famous. He was Gao Yingxiang's eldest nephew. Hearing his yelling, the leaders of the peasant army who were about to fight turned their heads to look at him.

All eyes were on him for a moment, and the ambition in Li Zicheng's heart slowly ignited as if it had encountered a spark from a prairie fire.

"Someone thinks that we should recruit..."

"Everyone should recruit!"

Li Zicheng hadn't finished speaking when a more urgent voice from the door suddenly overwhelmed him. In an instant, a large group of people turned their heads away again, but the one who came in was a gentleman with the appearance of a scholar, a Songhe Yannian suit. The long robe, the hair combed into a bun, and the three-point beard look particularly energetic, but the straight poker face makes people feel uncomfortable.

Such a dress was incompatible with the peasant army, so he was stunned for a while, and Zhang Xianzhong, who was the most irritable, was the first to hop and curse.

"Take care of the bird! You must be an official dog sent by King Hong Yan. You want to trick me into laying down their weapons, and then slaughter me. I will take your head off now!"

Seeing that the big blade was about to be slashed, the poker face finally panicked, and hurriedly waved his hands to distinguish: "This... Marshal, don't get me wrong, I am begging Sun Chuanting, the military commander of the living army, to give the army a hand under the order of my Song Shuai. Shoes, hats and clothes have been sent, and things are being released outside, here is a letter to prove it!"

"You are Lao San's subordinate, why didn't you say it earlier?" The yellow face really changed in an instant, and turned into a smiling tiger again. Zhang Xianzhong laughed loudly and slapped Sun Chuanting on the shoulder, making him, the most famous man in history, The shoulder of the arch-nemesis was almost dislocated.

At this time, a few small bosses also happened to come in and shouted in surprise: "King Chuang, Cao Shuai, and Qihuo Shuai sent people to send more than a dozen boats of shoes, hats and clothes, and now everyone is out hair , the little one picked a few good ones and sent them over."

Although these bosses and leaders don't get cold at most, looking at the new clothes is always a pleasure. The atmosphere of anger eased all of a sudden, and with an ugly grin, they went up and grabbed a carved leather coat and put it on. On himself, Luo Ru, who looked like a big bird man, yelled proudly.

"I just said that he, Fool Song, needs to be in a hurry, no, here he comes!"

However, among the crowd, there were a few people who were not happy. First of all, Gao Yingxiang had a gloomy face. Before everyone finished grabbing the clothes, he had already yelled loudly.

"Request security, recruitment bird security! Haven't you been doing too much evil in the government these years? Did your Song Shuai join the imperial court, and the big guy came to invite this great merit? Change his official hat?"

What Gao Yingxiang said, the peasant army leaders who were still happy in the tent just now were collectively stunned again. It is estimated that today is the time when they were stunned the most. Then, another wave of hostility gathered together, even Zhang Xianzhong was a little dazed, but Sun Chuanting didn't want to hear this.

"Chuang Wang, right? No one knows that the first battle of my family's commander-in-chief became famous in the Fenchuan River, and he fought against the perfidious official dog Du Wenhuan? In that battle, more than 5 begging soldiers died in vain, bloody revenge! Which of you recruited me?" , my family's handsome will not recruit!"

What he said makes sense, and once again he mentioned the battle of Song Qingshu's fame, defeating nearly [-] frontier troops and killing a general soldier. Seeing the people around him nodding repeatedly, Gao Yingxiang couldn't help shouting impatiently again.

"Then you ask everyone to recruit a bird?"

"Fake offer."

This time Sun Chuanting seemed to be too lazy to talk nonsense, and the language was extremely short.

"The north is not peaceful, the emperor is eager for success, the ministers are impetuous, and they offer money and bribes. The officers and soldiers will definitely agree to take advantage of their paralysis to forcefully cross the Yellow River!"

This strategy matched Gao Yingxiang's. He couldn't help being taken aback when he heard it, but Li Zicheng next to him was depressed. He also thought of this idea. After spending several days perfecting the details, he seized this rare opportunity and just said half of it. However, he was robbed by Sun Chuanting. The mood of the future Li Chuangwang at this moment is like that of tens of thousands of huskies.

Fortunately, he wasn't the only one who was depressed, holding the fur coat, Luo Rucai let out another scream of pain.

"You want money again? I don't have any money!!!"
