Wei Shu was tied upside down, with a rag stuffed in his mouth. He couldn't speak or move. He could only struggle like a dying fish.
Li Wanshan held the knife in his hand, stepped forward, looked at Wei Shu condescendingly, and ordered the people around him: "Keep this man under my watch, don't hurt his life."
"Here." The clan members on the left and right responded, but they were a little strange. We are rebelling now, and we have become the one who will naturally gain promotion and wealth. If we lose, the nine clans will be implicated in death. What's the use of keeping such a general? ?
You wouldn't expect to use this person as a blackmail to save your life if it fails...
The front gate was also breached at this time. The Tang troops in the yamen had been practicing for a long time and had become too lazy to fight. Where were the young and strong opponents who had been working in the fields all day? After being rushed and killed by others, they will be defeated. They will either be killed on the spot or surrender obediently.
Li Qingshu led his men into the backyard and successfully met with Li Wanshan's group.
Seeing Wei Shu who was tightly tied up, Li Qingshu's eyes turned red and he rushed over with a few strides, raising the knife in his hand to kill Wei Shu. Wei Shu watched helplessly as the steel knife above his head was raised high. He was so frightened that he struggled violently, but how could he get away? When he was about to die, there was a sudden feeling of dampness and heat in his crotch, but he was so frightened that he became incontinent...
"Wait!"
Li Wanshan stepped forward to stand in front of Wei Shu and said, "This man cannot be killed!"
Li Qingshu said angrily: "This beast has done many evil things. How many women and girls have their innocence ruined by his hands? If I don't cut him into pieces, it's hard to eliminate the hatred in my heart! Get out of my way quickly, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"
In Songping County, Wei Shu's reputation was extremely poor...
This man is not greedy for money or officials, but he is just lustful. Whenever he likes a woman, he will use various means to get her, whether it is through coercion, inducement or cajoling. But no matter how much he looked at it as a treasure and coveted it before, once he got it, he discarded it like a pair of worn shoes and never looked at it again.
Li Qingshu's daughter-in-law was seduced by this guy and willingly entered Wei Shu's room regardless of secular ethics. After a romantic affair, she was abandoned without any nostalgia. She had no home to return to and could no longer bear the ridicule and scorn of the world, so she simply I was so cruel that I hung myself...
Li Qingshu was ridiculed for his corrupt family tradition, how could he not hate Wei Shu to the core?
Li Wanshan rolled his eyes and said forcefully: "We raised troops to rebel in order to regain the Wanchun Kingdom and no longer suffer the oppression of the Han people! It doesn't matter how many soldiers are killed. I think the Tang Dynasty will not go to war because of this, but if we kill a general , I am afraid that even if the Tang Dynasty has no intention of conquering us, it will have to send a large army out of shame. For the sake of family hatred, you have to put all of us on the road to death, it is too selfish!"
Li Qingshu glanced at Li Wanshan suspiciously, then slowly put down the knife in his hand and remained silent.
This kid is usually the most reckless and murderous. How could he ever think so clearly and stay rational?
Something's not quite right...
All the Tang troops were wiped out, and those who were killed were killed. The overall situation was decided. Li Zhuangzhi walked in from the door covered in blood.
"Behead all the villains in the county government. Let's open the warehouse to stock up on food. Then we will raise a banner to summon people with lofty ideals to attack each county! We must occupy the entire land of Annan before the Tang army reacts. By then, the deal is done. Let's Declaring the restoration of the country, everyone will be rewarded according to their merits and promoted to the highest rank!"
The words immediately aroused everyone's excitement, and everyone screamed and waved their weapons, the sound shook the sky!
I was worried at first. After all, this was a rebellion and an enemy of the Tang Dynasty. Who wouldn't have his head in his belt? However, secretly opening the city gate, storming into the county seat, and capturing the Tang generals were all surprisingly smooth. Before long, they had occupied the entire Songping County seat...
It turns out that the Tang people are not that powerful!
Even if the Tang people react and the army attacks, everyone can still give them a head-on attack!
What's more, didn't you listen to Mr. Li Zhuangzhi? The people of the Tang Dynasty didn't care much about the land of Annan at all. The Tang Dynasty was preparing to conquer Goguryeo, so they would definitely not send a large army to destroy it!
Mr. Li is a descendant of the former Emperor of South Vietnam. He is more resourceful than Zhuge Liang of the Han people. He knows astronomy and geography from top to bottom, so he must not make any mistakes...
Originally, we had to risk our lives to break up our family and property, but now we are almost done with ease. Who can not be overjoyed?
The entire Songping County has fallen into chaos.
The people woke up from their sleep and took to the streets to see what had happened. Only then did they know that the local famous Li Zhuangzhi, Mr. Li, had launched an army to rebel. He united the wealthy gentry from all over the country and gathered more than ten thousand soldiers, vowing to restore the Wanchun Kingdom. !
Most of the people don't know what the Wanchun Kingdom is. Only some old people still vaguely remember the rebellion that brought disaster to the Annan people. When the Wanchun Kingdom was just established, it was annihilated by the Central Plains Dynasty army. It was really like corpses littered the fields and rivers of blood flowed. How many innocent people died tragically because of the Wanchun Kingdom?
As a result, this damn Wanchun Kingdom has resurrected... The old people are running around and crying, trying to persuade the young people not to go astray. Can the Han Dynasty be provoked? Too strong! Once the Wanchun Kingdom is restored and the Han army goes south again, I don’t know how many people will die!
Isn’t it good to just farm and do business honestly?
Nowadays, things are going well in Annan, and thanks to the countless merchants brought by the Tang Dynasty Navy to open up sea routes, anyone who tinkers with something can sell it for a good price. Things are getting better and better these days, but I don't want to die with those traitors. Mix it up?
However, after all, some people are still bewitched...
Not everyone can calm down and engage in farming and business honestly. The generous rewards after following the rebels' successful restoration of the country moved many people who were usually idle and opportunistic. Seeing that all the Tang troops in the city were wiped out and the rebels were powerful, they immediately Some local ruffians joined the rebels, and some merchants donated food and money. They cheered and supported the rebels with overwhelming momentum!
In the forty years of peace, this sacred land was once again in flames, and the smoke was vast...
*****
West of the county.
Li Wuqing, a county official, was awakened from his sleep by his loyal old servant...
"What? Li Zhuangzhi rebelled and captured Songping?"
Li Wuqing's eyes widened, thinking he was dreaming.
"This is absolutely true. Our relatives in Songping came to report the news. There are also many Han people in Xiyu County who participated. Now they have probably returned with a large group of people!"
"Quickly change my clothes!"
Li Wuqing got up in a hurry, no sleepiness at all, and his eyes were shining with light.
The old servant hurriedly waited on him to change his clothes, and said at the same time: "Let's go out of the city and hide in the countryside. The thieves are strong. If this blind guy goes crazy and starts burning, killing and looting, we may also suffer!"
Li Wuqing ignored him, put on his clothes and stood in front of the door, staring at the dark night outside the house. After a while, he said: "Immediately summon the servants at home, and then notify the Liu family and Wu family to ask their respective families to come immediately, and tell me We have something important to discuss!"
The old servant was obviously Li Wuqing's confidant. He was startled when he heard this and said in disbelief: "Master, are you thinking..."
"That's right! This is a God-given opportunity, why not take a risk?" Li Wuqing looked determined and his eyes were burning.
The old servant was quite old and obviously knew something. He worriedly said: "The Tang Dynasty is a Han people, and the people who are raising troops now are also Han people. We natives have never been taken seriously by them. Now we are rashly getting involved. Isn't it too risky? Regardless of the fact that these people are making trouble now, they are all remnants of the Wanchun Kingdom. When the Tang Dynasty sends its army to annihilate them, they will probably collapse at the first touch... The Tang Dynasty enslaves us now, and the Sui Dynasty also enslaved us before, even the Wanchun Kingdom back then. The Spring Kingdom has never treated us as human beings, and every good thing about the Han people!"
In the fights over this land, the Han people always have the final say. They, the natives, are the Han people's pigs, dogs, cattle and sheep, and they have never looked at each other...
Li Wuqing sighed and said: "How can I not know what you said? In the eyes of the Han people, we are just lazy and stupid indigenous monkeys..." However, even though he agreed with the old servant's words, he did not change his mind: "Wait until ten thousand The Restoration of the Spring Kingdom was successful, and we are still as humble as before. But now, if we can follow the footsteps of the old fox Li Zhuangzhi and reward us based on merit in the future, our status can rise a little bit, right? As long as it rises a little, If we are not oppressed and exploited by the Han people like cattle, then no matter how high the price is, it will still be worth it."
The old servant was puzzled: "Master, do you think those remnants of the Wanchun Kingdom can resist the suppression of the Tang army?"
"In front of the Tang army, they are just a bunch of chickens and dogs..." Li Wuqing said firmly: "However, the Tang Dynasty will not send a large army to suppress these rebels. Even if it sends an army, it will be just a small group of miscellaneous people. army, so the restoration of Wanchun Kingdom is still very likely to succeed."
The old servant was completely confused: "How do you know?"
Li Wuqing stopped explaining: "Don't ask any more questions, just follow the instructions immediately. Whether we natives can get Li Zhuangzhi's recognition and improve our status, or even be promoted to a noble rank, depends on whether we can show it during the upcoming small-group Tang army's purge." Show your strength and loyalty, and get it done quickly without further delay!"
