Master Mouse Beard didn't have time to study the origin of the name of the "Guardian". Which ancient book did it come from? Or is there something special about it?
Without allowing him to think wildly, he saw a group of people gathered around the mountain king riding a tall horse. This mountain king had a unshaven beard and a dark face that had not been washed for an unknown number of days.
But the master always feels that something is wrong. This mountain king is dirty but does not have any dirty temperament. In your heart, you feel that this person is quite clean, which is different from those of you who haven't showered for a year.
The key is that the war horse he rides is also very sturdy. Where can a bandit get such a good war horse? Robbed? But this kind of war horse can only be obtained by robbing the army!
The master is from the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas. They are all smart people who have never passed the exam, but are proficient in the rules of officialdom. They can detect many clues from the smallest details.
Can Isiha not be clean? The beard on his face is glued on, and underneath the black gray is actually white skin. No matter how downcast he is in the capital, he is still a low-level nobleman in the Eight Banners.
No matter how difficult the living conditions were, they were much better than ordinary people. The good habit of taking a bath every two or three days was something that ordinary people in society at that time did not dare to expect.
If you think about it carefully, the appearance of a man who could be Cixi's face would definitely be the same. Now, no matter how much he disguises himself, he can't change his overall temperament!
Yi Siha looked at Master coldly, "Haha, Master? You can't fool me with your dress. You must know the details of Lingqiu County, how much grain is stored, how much silver is stored, how many people are in the city! Let's talk... …”
Hiss... The master took a breath of air, what kind of mountain king is this? His speech was so organized, and he asked all the key points.
Not daring to neglect the master, he quickly said cautiously, "Back to your Majesty, Lingqiu is a small place with a small population and poor people, and there is not much food storage. The population in the city is only 60,000. The county government's food storage was almost used up before, and now there is only It’s more than a thousand dan, and there are still 50,000 taels of silver..."
Hold! Isiha struck out with lightning and hit the Master on the face with a whip, "Did you fool me?"
"Lingqiu has been an important thoroughfare to Puyinxing since ancient times. A large amount of goods from Shanxi Province go directly from here to Mancheng and Baoding. Now you are telling me that you have no money?"
"Population 60,000? How many more refugees have there been in this county since the disaster started? How many people are seeking refuge with relatives and friends?"
"A thousand stones of grain? Fifty thousand silver? It's an important trading town. Grain trade is the first link. Are you telling me that we have no grain and no money?"
"Fuck you!" Isiha suddenly pulled out the steel knife and slashed it down. The unlucky master thought he could negotiate in front of the battle, but ended up throwing a big head outside the city.
Isiha sneered and pointed at a centurion leader under his command, "Go and throw the head on the top of the city, and tell them to give them an hour to open the city gate, otherwise no chickens or dogs will be left after the city is broken!"
The county magistrate at the top of the city was so frightened that he cried. He saw the master being hacked to death. He saw a big man carrying the bloody head and walked over. After shouting, he threw the head on the tower and the head was in front of the magistrate. rolling around!
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
One of his government officials whispered, "Either... or open the city... let them rob them. They will leave after they rob enough food..."
"You fart!" the county magistrate yelled, jumping on his feet, "Are you stupid? Surrendering the thieves in Kaicheng is a crime that will wipe out the entire family. The imperial court in Kaicheng will kill my whole family!"
"Don't even think about it! That's right, none of you are officials, but petty officials. The household department in the capital does not have any accounts with your names!"
"But your names are all recorded in the palace! The court wants to investigate you, and none of you can escape!"
"Kaicheng means everyone will die, everyone will die... You have lived enough, I have not lived enough!"
"Don't think that the imperial court can be lenient. Your Majesty can kill 30,000 factory slaves in the capital for the New Deal, but they are all Manchus! Your Majesty even killed his own Manchus, not to mention the lives of us Han people!"
"Defend the city! If the city is destroyed, we will most likely die, but if we surrender, our ancestral graves will have to be dug up by the court!"
The same enemies in Lingqiu County who were inspired by the county magistrate's words became angry. There were also merchants and wealthy households on the city wall. They also knew that if this group of bandits entered the city, everyone would be in trouble.
"Sir! Just give me the order. We will raise food and money for you to defend the city! There are now a hundred thousand people in our city. The victims will give them food and let them go to the city to defend the city!"
"No matter how many bandits there are outside, there are not as many people as there are in our city..."
The opinions in the county were finally unified, and the soldiers and civilians who reached an agreement immediately began to prepare for war. The weapons warehouse was opened and all kinds of old weapons were brought out.
The pewter shafts of many spears were rotten, the steel knives were rusty, and the gunpowder in the musket store was damp, but it was better than nothing. These weapons were brought out and distributed to the people.
The government officials beat gongs and shouted throughout the streets, "Defend the city! All the men in the city went up to the wall to defend the city! Those who defend the city will be fed, and those who flinch will be killed without mercy!"
"Bandits are coming from outside the city. They want to massacre the city... Let's all stand up and fight against the bandits!"
The horns of horns sounded one after another, and the city of Lingqiu suddenly became filled with murderous intent. Outside the city, Isiha stared at him, "Fuck! You dare to prepare for war, you are looking down on us!"
"No need to wait, attack the city immediately... lift the ladder and attack the city. Whoever enters the city first will have the property in the city taken by him!"
Many days of killing have given the twenty thousand scapegoat troops some fighting experience. Upon hearing the king's order, more than a dozen ladders were immediately carried out from behind. Each ladder was surrounded by two to three hundred people, a total of four people. Thousands of people formed a crowd and charged forward!
"Kill... kill... conquer Lingqiu... seize food, money, and women... The king ordered not to seal the sword..."
Twenty thousand people roared like a tsunami, and more than four thousand people rushed towards them from the south side of the city like ants. The so-called defenders on the top of the city were so frightened that their calves twisted.
Bang bang bang... The ladder hit the city wall, and these inexperienced peasants actually wanted to push it with their hands and hit it with a wooden fork!
As soon as they showed up, they started shooting arrows and shooting, and the defenders on the top of the city screamed and fell down!
"Attack on the city, attack on the city... Quick, quick, quick..." There was a centurion commanding under the ladder, ordering the dead soldiers to climb the ladder. At this time, you will know how powerful the scapegoat army is!
These people used straw ropes to tie heavy iron pots to their left arms, and then climbed up with them on their heads!
Bricks and tiles were falling down overhead, the iron pots were smashed, and the hot boiling water was poured on them, causing the boiling corpses to scream.
