Guancheng County, the school field in the east of the city.
Pan Zhenyue, the governor of Zhengzhou, Cui Junchuo, the old grandma of the Cui family in Qinghe, Cui Wenji, the old grandma of the Cui family in Boling, and Zheng Shuwu, the old grandma of the Zheng family in Xingyang, took a number of officials from the state government and boarded the general ordering platform.
The soldiers below quickly maintained order and kept the people quiet.
Pan Zhenyue looked at the nearly 100,000 people in the audience, and a sense of heroism arose in his heart. The speech he carefully prepared last night passed through his mind word by word. At this time, Pan Zhenyue took a deep breath and said loudly:
"Today's Holy Emperor, who killed his brother and imprisoned his father, gained the throne unfairly, exacted excessive taxes, usurped his brother and sister-in-law, was licentious and was worse than a beast, is a completely foolish king! People in Zhengzhou, since the imperial court sent Wei Xuancheng to Zhengzhou, countless good officials have been The removal has led to the decline of people's livelihood and the chaos of local public security! Last month, it even attracted bandits to the city to burn, kill and loot. This is the court you serve, do you think it is worth it? "
"not worth it!"
"not worth it!"
"not worth it!"
After Pan Zhenyue finished speaking, the state soldiers on the school field took the lead in shouting loudly. Slowly, some common people also shouted!
After all, in the past half month, those "reactionary" articles in "Zhengzhou Daily" have brainwashed many people, making them think that Li Er is a fool, making them feel that if they want to live a good life, they can only rely on Pan Zhenyue, a "big man" honest and upright official"!
Although the people who had not been brainwashed did not believe Pan Zhenyue's "nonsense", the soldiers from the state capital were watching beside them, so they had no choice but to echo him!
Pan Zhenyue was very satisfied with the enthusiastic "response" given by the people in the audience. After the people calmed down, he continued to shout at the top of his voice:
"The Cui family has been in Zhengzhou for hundreds of years. Over these hundreds of years, the Cui family has supported many poor people and trained many talents in Zhengzhou. The old lady of the Cui family devoted herself to the people, but last year he was killed by a traitor in Chang'an City. , was demoted back. He, Li Shimin, claimed to be a wise king, but he appointed treacherous ministers and harmed the loyal. Such a weak king, but took over the important weapons of the country. As long as he is around, the people of the Tang Dynasty will definitely not have a good life!
I am Pan Zhenyue, the governor of Zhengzhou. In order to let you all live a good life, I have decided to rise up and lead you to overthrow the tyrant! I hereby promise that as long as Li Shimin can be overthrown, all the people in the world will be allocated hereditary Yongye fields, and all gentry will not have to pay taxes. I will use all the treasures in the Chang'an Palace to distribute to those who have meritorious services. Soldiers!
From today on, all men over ten and under forty in Zhengzhou must join the army. They do not join the army for free. Each sergeant can receive a monthly salary of two hundred Wen. If he can kill the enemy, then The rewards will be more! In addition to money rewards, officials will also be rewarded. For sergeants who have made great contributions, they will be rewarded with official positions as appropriate. After we overthrow Li Shimin, these people will become the founding heroes of the country, and they will be granted the title of marquis and prime minister.
Of course, with rewards comes punishments! As for those traitors who escaped from the battlefield and secretly colluded with the imperial court, once they were discovered, they would all be killed without mercy, and their relatives would also be guilty of the same crime! Therefore, fellow villagers, if you want to live a good life in the future, then let the men in your family join the army, and let us go together to destroy the tyrant and uphold justice for heaven! "
What Pan Zhenyue said can only be described as treasonous and unethical! Liu Rengui frowned when he heard this. If there were no guards on the school field, he would have rushed to the stage to "click" Pan Zhenyue!
"Destroy the tyrant and enforce justice for heaven!"
"Destroy the tyrant and enforce justice for heaven!"
The soldiers on the school field rejoiced, and many people also shouted wildly. Especially the scholars and gentry standing at the front shouted the loudest, because according to Pan Zhenyue, if Li Er can be overthrown, then they, the "top people" in Zhengzhou, will be the biggest beneficiaries!
Gentlemen do not have to pay taxes. When the country is first established, there will be many job vacancies. Scholars and gentry will undoubtedly have the greatest opportunities!
After a full quarter of an hour, the school ground became quiet again. Pan Zhenyue's eyes darkened and he said: "As for the old, weak, women and children, although they cannot participate in the war, the logistics of the army, such as cooking and transporting food, will be your responsibility from now on." !Where is Cui Quan, the captain of the governor's office~?"
A middle-aged sergeant stepped out from the crowd, cupped his fists and said, "The general is here!"
Pan Zhenyue ordered: "All these men of suitable age will be handed over to you! From today on, everything must be managed according to the military camp system! Now you send someone to register all their names and addresses, and assign them Go to each camp and give them half a day to go home and tidy up. All must be reported to the military camp before dark in the afternoon! Those who fail to do so will be executed!"
"The general will get the order!"
Cui Quan clasped his fists and said loudly.
There was a "buzz" sound, and the people in the audience suddenly became a little restless. Many of the people here have sons who have long been drafted to serve in the state capital. The men standing in the front left column are usually the backbone of the family. The women are all panicking. Pan Zhenyue has been drafted. Their sons conscripted their husbands!
(In ancient times, it was common for people to get married early, with sons in their teens and fathers in their thirties)
"Why are you making such a fuss? Please be quiet! Anyone who makes a fuss again will be put in jail!"
Upon seeing this, Cui Quan was so angry that he let out a loud roar that resounded throughout the entire school grounds. Thousands of sergeants from the state capital quickly dispersed into the ranks of the common people, catching dozens of the ones who yelled the most fiercely, and the rest of the common people immediately fell silent. Come down!
"The generals of each battalion listen to the order, take your troops, and register these men. Which battalion they are registered in will be assigned to that camp! Before dark today, the generals of each battalion will report all the deserters. , Japan will send people to arrest you tomorrow!"
Cui Quan ordered loudly.
"The general will get the order!"
Dozens of soldiers below the field roared together.
"Damn it! Damn it, what I was most worried about has happened! Now it's better, I have to go work for the rebels!"
Liu Rengui felt a little bitter at the moment. He was worried about this when he came. After all, the information Ye Fashan had received said that the Cui family would hold a swearing-in meeting today. If he went, he would probably be left as a young man, but could he not go? ?
Of course not!
If he doesn't go, he can only hide in the tunnel. After all, Guancheng County is so big, but if so many of them suddenly disappear, it will definitely make others suspicious, and then the soldiers and horses of the Governor's Office will attack them. If you search the rented house inside and out, you will easily find the secret passage under the house. Not only will they be caught, but Wei Zheng, Ye Minglei, Li Yu, and Ye Fashan will also be implicated.
So Liu Rengui and the two hundred people knew that there were tigers in the mountains, so they went to the tiger mountains!
"You guys will join the army with me from now on~!"
At this moment, the Zhengzhou Governor's Mansion soldier whom Liu Rengui had met before came over and said to him.
"...Yes! Huang Canjun! Thank you Huang Canjun for your support!"
After hesitating for a moment, Liu Rengui gritted his teeth and clasped his fists pretending to be moved.
"Haha! Don't worry! If you work hard with me, and you have made enough contributions, I will naturally let you go back to Bianzhou. Don't even think about escaping, because once you are caught, the consequences will not be what you expect. I can bear it!”
Huang Canjun patted Liu Rengui on the shoulder and smiled meaningfully.
His full name is Huang Cheng. Now that Pan Zhenyue is raising the flag to rebel, he, as a soldier in the governor's office, naturally wants to follow and make contributions. Liu Rengui and his group are all strong men and look to have good fighting ability. Putting these people under his hands will definitely help him achieve a lot of achievements!
"Yes, yes! What Huang Canjun said is true, I understand!"
People under the eaves had to bow their heads. Liu Rengui was completely pretending to be a grandson.
Huang Cheng nodded with satisfaction and said, "Yes! What's your name?"
"Return to Huang to join the army. My name is Ren Daniu!"
"Okay! Ren Daniu, you will manage these people under your command for me from now on. Now you can take them to the assistant officer of this army to register. After registration, you go back, pack some salutes and come to the military camp! Ten million! Don’t run away or be late, okay?”
Huang Cheng said with a serious face.
The reason why Liu Rengui was chosen to be the leader of this team may be because he thought Liu Rengui had a more fierce appearance!
When Liu Rengui heard that Huang Cheng did not disperse his men into various camps, he was immediately secretly happy. As for whether he should be the leader or not, he didn't care, "Yes, yes, thank you Huang Canjun for your support. I will definitely do well in the future." Kill the enemy and repay Huang Canjun!"
Liu Rengui turned into a "licking dog" and nodded with joy.
At this time, the joy on his face was somewhat genuine.
"Yeah~! Go quickly!"
………………………
"Liu Canjun, what happened to us now, is this considered treason and surrender to the enemy? When the imperial army arrives, what will the two hundred of us do?"
After registering at the school ground, Liu Rengui and his party hurriedly walked to Wuningfang in the south of the city. On the way, Feng Wu said with a sad face and "aggrieved".
"What should I do? How do I know what to do? We can only take one step at a time now! Okay, okay, don't be so sad. Let's go back later and ask Wei Zuocheng. He has many ideas, maybe There can be a way!"
Liu Rengui waved his hand impatiently and said depressedly.
"Oh! Yes, yes! Let's ask Wei Zuocheng! Hurry, hurry, hurry back!"
When Feng Wu heard this, his expression immediately changed and his steps became faster!
With a "squeak", everyone returned to the rented house. Old Feng took the lead and came to the dry well in the yard and jumped directly.
"Wei Zuocheng, it's not good! It's not good! Liu Shenjun and I have surrendered to the enemy camp!"
