"What can we do!" On the top of the city, Huo Weihua was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. At this moment, his heart was filled with regret!
If he hadn't been opportunistic and offered some bullshit to drink the dew, he would be working as a minister of the Ministry of War in the capital. But now, he didn't make much money when he came to Tianjin to guard the oil and water, but instead caused civil unrest! This is really fatal!
Huang Yuntai also had a bad look on his face. He glanced at Huo Weihua and was mumbling in his heart. He knew that he was greedy enough, but he didn't expect that Huo Weihua was even greedier than him and now he was causing such trouble!
He also had some thoughts about how to end it. When the time came, he would let Huo Weihua go out to top the tank. At worst, he would lose money and resign. No matter what, he would save his life!
Huo Weihua was demoted because he offended Jiu Qiansui and His Majesty. There was no more suitable candidate than him.
"My lord, there is no need to worry. The imperial court has sent troops again. This time, the Liaodong Army led by Governor Sun is going to fight in person. They will definitely win a battle!"
One of the twenty or so gentry beside them stood up confidently.
Everyone was shocked. This person was Li Zhixin, the leader of Lijiazhuang. The Li family was the most powerful powerful man in Tianjin, with a land worth tens of thousands of dollars. Moreover, he was a distant relative of Li Chunye, the minister of the Ministry of War at that time. His news was definitely correct!
Thinking of this, everyone was in high spirits.
Huang Yuntai was overjoyed and said: "If Supervisor Sun rises in person, I, Tianjin Wei, are worry-free! Is this true about Nephew Li Xian?"
Li Zhixin nodded with a smile and said, "If it's too soon, it will be today, if not, it will be three or two days later. Governor Sun will definitely arrive!"
Everyone was overjoyed!
People gathered around Li Zhixin to ask for details.
…
In the camp outside the city.
There were three leaders of the rebels. One of them was a stonemason named Shi Shi. He was just thirty years old. He was stout and had great physical strength. After the uprising, he gave himself a bandit name: Chui Potian!
The weapon was a pair of large hammers weighing more than 30 kilograms. This man had a violent personality. When he was drafted to build the city, he had a conflict with a small official who was in charge of him. He hammered the small official's head to pieces. Killed on the spot!
He immediately ran away. After returning to the countryside, the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. He simply shouted, "Huo Weihua and the two people were unpopular in the first place, and the people were oppressed. Shi Dong made a noise, and soon twenty people gathered around him. Multiple people.
That night, Shi Dong led more than twenty people to massacre a small landowner from his own family in the village!
He also distributed most of the money and food from the small landlords' families, which won the support of more people.
Hundreds of people gathered around him. Shi Dong had men and experience, and he immediately found the next target. Soon, on the second day, he killed two unsuspecting landowners, and his men immediately swelled to Thousands of people!
Almost at the same time, another old boy named Sun Xiudao couldn't bear the insult to his wife by Li Zhixin's father Li Shanren. After his wife was killed, Sun Xiudao sneaked into Li's house that night with a kitchen knife and hacked the landlord Li Shanren to death! They raised their arms and shouted, and more than a thousand people gathered!
Overnight, two groups of rebels emerged from Tianjin Weidi. Wu Yanbiao, a red stick who usually bullied the market, felt that he had an opportunity. He also summoned some of his green men to cause chaos in Weicheng. After robbing and killing a wealthy household, he led The team rushed out of the city!
Although Wu Yanbiao started the incident a night late, he had more than ten green men under his command, and because of his ruthlessness, he was the latecomer and became the most powerful of the three rebel armies!
The three rebel armies each divided their territory. Although there were occasional frictions, they were generally in peace.
After sweeping the countryside, Wu Yanbiao, the most powerful man, had more than 13,000 men!
The second most powerful person is Hammer Po Tian Shidong, who only has more than 6,000 people!
The fewest were Sun Xiudao and his daughter, who only had less than 4,000.
But after all, Sun Xiudao has read books and is knowledgeable. Although there are few others, most of them are soldiers of the guard station. He specially robbed the armory of a guard station. Therefore, he has the best equipment and the strongest combat effectiveness, so he should not be underestimated. !
At this time, the three rebel armies met outside the Tianjin Acropolis and held discussions in a tent!
The opinions outside are naturally known to the three of them, and now they are discussing where to go from here.
Shi Dong said carelessly: "I don't care what you two think. Anyway, I will eat meat and divide the gold and silver. After taking the acropolis, I will lead my brothers to become a mountain king!"
Wu Yanbiao smiled, his face trembling, and said: "The idea of Stone Leader is good, but Tianjin Wei is too close to the capital, and occupying the mountain as king is not a long-term solution. What brothers mean is that our three families will become one, so that The strength is even greater. The so-called murder, arson and recruitment are not as good as let's use a fucking official to deal with it. What do the two leaders think?"
Sun Xiudao sat still and said: "I, Sun Xiudao, started the incident because my wife was humiliated. The culprit was hiding in the acropolis. After the city was broken, I killed the enemy with my own hands! I tied myself up and went to the capital! Everything started with me! I I will bear it with all my strength! If I can see the Emperor, I will ask the Emperor, why should the common people deserve this?"
Shi Dong and Wu Yanbiao were both startled, and then laughed.
"Sun Xiucai, are you stupid for studying? Will the emperor meet you? Even if he meets you, will he still speak for you?" Shi Dong laughed.
After Sun Xiudao passed the boy examination at the age of sixteen, he continued to take the examination for nearly thirty years, but he was still a boy. Therefore, others made fun of him and always called him Sun Xiucai, which was considered a nickname.
If you are not a scholar, you will not be able to enjoy the status and benefits brought by being a scholar. Naturally, your life will become poorer and poorer. Later, you still find a job in the Li family school to educate the younger generations of the Li family. However, because he is only a child, he is in the family. In the school, only the youngest children are taught enlightenment, which is equivalent to the profession of a kindergarten teacher.
Wu Yanbiao snorted and said: "A few days ago, the emperor sent soldiers and horses to come directly to kill. What reason can I tell you? How damn naive! If Leader Shitou and I hadn't set up an ambush and defeated the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, your Sun The scholar has long been captured in the capital and cut to pieces with a thousand swords!"
Shi Dong nodded and said: "That's right! If you ask me, the soldiers and horses of this imperial court are like his grandmother's trash. They offended me, rebelled against his mother, attacked the capital, and pulled the little emperor off his horse. Then Jinluan Hall, let’s go sit there too!”
Wu Yanbiao's eyes flashed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Sun Xiucai didn't react at all to the cynicism of the two people, but at this moment Shi Dong's words made him frown.
"The soldiers and horses from the Beijing camp came last time. They were indeed vulnerable. But the emperor recruited Sun Chengzong and Yuan Keli to come to the capital. Both of them brought soldiers and horses. Everyone already knows the news that the sentinels came back. The soldiers they brought with them The soldiers and horses have all fought against Jiannu. The two masters will naturally understand how strong they are in battle. I don’t need to say more..."
Shi Dong and Wu Yanbiao's faces changed color.
Shi Dong said irritably: "What the hell! What's the big deal, I've become a bandit. Can't I run away even if I can't fight?"
Wu Yanbiao said: "Sun Xiucai doesn't need to increase the ambition of others to destroy his own prestige! They have strong soldiers and horses, but together they only have 4,000 soldiers and horses! Our three families have more than 20,000 soldiers together, even if they cost lives, The outcome is not certain! Besides, we can also set up an ambush like last time, and maybe we can defeat them!"
Shi Dong said loudly: "Exactly! Together we are strong, but apart we are weak!"
Sun Xiucai nodded noncommittally and said, "Now, let's defeat this acropolis first, and then talk about other things!"
Wu Yanbiao and Shi Dong could only nod.
Outside the tent, footsteps sounded, and a person walked in quickly, saying anxiously: "No, the soldiers and horses from the imperial court are here again!"
