Begging in late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 485 Chuang Wang
The Ming Dynasty died in the 17th year of Chongzhen, AD 13, but in Song Qingshu's view, the factors for the country's subjugation had already been buried a few years ago in the [-]th year of Chongzhen.

In April, the Songjin War, the last battle outside the Ming and Qing Passes, kicked off. [-] Qing soldiers broke through the Jinzhou East Pass, and set up three trenches to surround the entire Jinzhou City just like they surrounded Dalinghe City. Zu Dashou urgently asked the imperial court for eight hundred miles, and the whole pass was shaken.

With the loss of Jinzhou, the entire Guanning Jin defense line will collapse completely. The Qing army can go straight to Shanhaiguan and threaten the capital at any time. The east, west, and north of Beijing will be in an unsafe state. For this reason, Emperor Chongzhen is also in a hurry , Jiahong Chengchou, Shang Shuxian of the Ministry of War, mobilized Wang Pu, Tang Tong, Yang Guozhu, Cao Bianjiao, Bai Guangen, Wang Tingchen, Wu Sangui and other eight commanders as governors, mobilized the seven elites of Ji, Liao, Xuan, Da, Yulin and Guyuan, [-] cavalry and [-] infantry went north to rescue.

But at this moment, another figure stood up in the heart of the Ming Dynasty.

Yongning County, Henan Province.

Even in the middle of the night, the Liu Family Courtyard in Liuzhuang outside the county town was still brightly lit. A large group of tattered villagers gathered together tremblingly, and crying could still be heard inside. In front of the circular granary, a few dog legs fiercely rotated their whips, and a fat man in a melon cap and a green robe was also yelling curses there.

"Wang Gangdan, I, Zhao Jiaen, raised you. If my old man hadn't seen your father beggar here so pitifully, and took you in, your whole family would have starved to death. Master, I didn't expect that it would be difficult to guard against house thieves by day and night! In the end, you You bitch, you actually stole it from my master! Are you worthy of the kindness of the Zhao family?"

The ones who were beaten were a man and a woman. A man in his 20s was holding an old woman in her fifties, and he was beaten with a whip. The man tried to protect the old woman under his body while begging.

"Grandfather, please be kind. My mother hasn't eaten for three days. For the sake of steel egg's work for you, please give me something to eat!"

"Being a cow or a horse?"

When this was mentioned, Zhao Yuanwai actually became angry, and roaring, he grabbed the whip and whipped it directly at Wang Gangdan's forehead. With a slap, a streak of blood appeared on the man's entire face.

"If it weren't for my Zhao family, your father would have starved to death. Where would you be? It's only right and proper to be a cow and a horse for my master, and you're the other way around! Come on, someone, let him have a bone on the back of his head Hang this master from a tree and beat him to death!"

"My lord, please forgive me!"

Wang Gangdan panicked immediately, and kowtowed desperately with his arms around the old woman, but people's hearts have been distorted these days. A few thugs dragged the two of them to the tree inhumanely, and immediately beat the head and face with the water-soaked cowhide whip. After passing by, Wang Gangdan's bony body could still carry it a few times, but the old woman took a few whips and had less air intake and more air out. A crowd of tenants shouted.

"Look clearly, this is the end of stealing my grain! Anyone who dares to touch a grain of rice will be killed and thrown into the field to fertilize!"

Even if he was beaten, Wang Gangdan still called his mother heart-piercingly. The tenants below all looked at him with pity, and each of them lowered their heads heavily. Every scream seemed to hit their hearts. It is also heavy.

This Zhao Yuanwai can be called Zhao Papi, the renter is the most ruthless of all the landlords, the tenants have been busy for a year, and the grain they harvested is not enough for even a month. I heard that the wheat was sold by Zhao Yuanwai to those masters in Yangzhou, Jiangnan Ladies and gentlemen, there was a severe drought last year, and the grain harvest was pitiful. It has only been a month of spring plowing, and even with wild vegetables, the little bran and miscellaneous grains will be eaten up. Everyone is facing the verge of starvation.

But this guy surnamed Zhao didn't care at all. It is said that his subordinates and tenants have already starved to death. The mantra of this fellow is that there are many poor ghosts, so I am not afraid that there will be no new ones.

But tyranny can't conquer people's hearts after all. Someone in the crowd suddenly yelled viciously: "Sooner or later King Chuang will come back and kill you landlords and vampires!"

"Who! Who the hell said that!"

In a word, Zhao Yuanwai jumped up like a cat that stepped on its tail, pointed his whip at the crowd and walked over. Under his threat, all the tenants backed away in fear, but after searching around, this man named Zhao They couldn't find anyone to talk to, so they pointed at the tenants with a ferocious face and roared.

"Okay! Very good! Learn to talk back, haven't you? This year's rent will be increased by [-]%! Starve to death you poor ghosts!"

Everyone showed hatred, but no one dared to say a word. Seeing people's fearful expressions, Zhao Yuanwai's fat face also showed a perverted smile, holding a whip and sneering: "What are you looking forward to?" Chuang Wang? Tell you, Chuang Blind died in the mountains long ago. My cousin is the head of the Ministry of War, Beijing officials! Do people around the emperor understand? Tell you! Yang Ge has led an army to beat Zhang Thief in Manao Mountain! You will die Get this heart!"

At this time, the two people who were hung on the tree were also dripping with blood. The old woman had already died, and Wang Gangdan was also dying. When he touched this honest tenant's forehead, his brains burst. Some tenants could not bear to turn their heads away.

But at this critical moment, a sharp whistling sound suddenly sounded from behind, and a popping sound suddenly sounded, with the same ferocious expression on his face, the thug missed Wang Gangdan's head, and fell down on the ground with a plop. Seeing the blood flow all over the ground, Yuanwai Zhao, who was so arrogant and domineering just now, immediately shrank to the gate, and immediately waved his fingers in horror.

"You, you, you dare to kill Lao Tzu's nursing home, you are against me!"

"It's the opposite! Chuang Wang is here!"

Amidst the resounding roar, a blood-red banner with the word Chuang appeared suddenly behind the flames. Immediately afterward, Chuangjun dressed in homemade clothes and carrying a machete rushed in like a divine soldier descending from heaven, and several guards panicked. He stepped forward to stop it, but suddenly a machete weighing more than 30 kilograms flew up and down. The first two dog legs in the flash were directly chopped off to the ground, and the guy behind simply threw it and knelt on the ground trembling.

Kacha, the rope was cut off abruptly, and the leading Chuangjun general opened his beard, stretched out his hand and handed over the knife in his waist.

"Boy, kill that vampire!"

"You, you, you fucking dare! I am a juren, and my cousin is a Beijing official. You, if you dare to touch me, your whole family will die!"

Member Zhao yelled and cursed sternly on the outside, after all, the bastard was still fierce, and the bruised Wang Gang still shivered, but immediately, the general who broke into the army snorted coldly from behind.

"He killed your mother!"

These words really seemed to open a Pandora's box. In an instant, Wang Gangdan's eyes were red. Caught off guard, a sharp knife directly plunged into Zhao Yuanwai's fat stomach. In his hissing screams, The honest tenant howled like a wolf.

"My mother is dead, and I'm the only one left in the whole family. I'm afraid that you will die in the coffin first!"

The sharp knife pierced Zhao Yuanwai's stomach, but it was also unlucky for Zhao's skinning. His stomach was too fat, and the knife was not long. During the hissing and screaming, unexpectedly Time is not dead.

The bloody blood also aroused the long-buried hatred of the others. With a howl, another man in his thirties suddenly jumped out from the tenants behind him. He picked up a stone and rushed towards him. Confused, he beat and cursed: "Daughter-in-law, baby! I avenged you, you watch from the ground, this bastard I beat you to death!"

With a role model, hundreds of tenants also erupted. Not only the howling Zhao Yuan, but even his dog legs did not run away. Sticks and stones were smashed down. Almost all of them were shot to death on the ground, beaten to a pulp!

"The food is distributed!"

Just stepping on that blood, the warehouse door was opened, and the out-of-control tenants also turned into mobs, and broke into the Zhao family mansion in a single brain. Shouting, a burst of fire steamed up on the green brick and green tile compound.

Seeing those tenants carrying gold and silver treasures, silk clothes, and food in and out, the Chuangjun general stroked his beard and laughed loudly, pointing at the big Chuangzi flag and roaring resoundingly.

"I am Hao Yaoqi, a general of the Chinese army under King Chuang's command! If you want to have enough to eat, follow us into the army. King Chuang will lead you to kill officials and distribute food to make a living! It's men who follow me!"

As soon as a large flag was waved, thousands of people in the entire village packed their things and eagerly followed. The crazy fire spread to the homes they depended on for survival.

These days, being a good person can no longer survive!The other way around!
next day!

Just came out of Shangluo Mountain, but the 1000-odd remnants of the Chuangjun surged to 2 people overnight, completely encircling a small Yongning county town. Standing on the city wall, watching the government servants and the defenders struggle with difficulty This Chuangjun rushing up like a tide, the magistrate Zhang County, the imperial examination magistrate who only knows how to collect rent and arrest people, was obviously numb from fright, and now he can only keep talking.

"How is it possible? How is it possible? Isn't the thief trapped in Sichuan by Yang Ge's department? How is it possible?"

"My lord, now is not the time to worry about these things, hurry up and ask for help from the Henan government!" On the side, Master Shaoxing, who usually did all the bad things for the county magistrate, was so frightened that he was about to cry. As if grabbing a life-saving straw, Ling immediately nodded and ran in.

"That's right, ask for help, call the imperial army to kill all these untouchables, kill, kill..."

"Dog officer, you go to die first!"

Before the county magistrate ran down, a bloody ax from behind had already slammed into his neck, his head tilted unnaturally, and the county magistrate's fat body tilted, and fell directly from the city wall, falling like a The blood bag exploded, and there was blood all over the place.

"Forgive the brave man!"

Looking at Wang Gangdan, who was dripping with blood and panting heavily, the county master simply sat on the ground, and then turned to kneeling on the ground, kowtowing his head desperately, but looking at his pitiful appearance, Wang There was no trace of humanity in Gang Dan's eyes, and suddenly he roared, and he raised his ax high again...
