Amidst their agitation, the people seemed a little at a loss as to whether they should go or not. But not long after, some scholars appeared in the crowd, loudly encouraging everyone, saying that they were willing to lead everyone to ***!
At the call of the scholar, many people from the local crowd followed him. Among the many people who were gathering to watch the fun, some were nimble-minded or confused and couldn't help but follow him! Some people who were willing to watch the fun also followed.
At the same time, some people who didn't want to move suddenly found someone around them enthusiastically pulling them forward. They were wrapped up in the crowd in a daze, and then they were carried forward by the crowd. The same situation occurs in many places! .
In this way, many small streams of people appeared from various places, and then the small streams of people merged into large groups and moved towards various targets. Some people in the team shouted slogans such as "Drive out the witches and restore the Qingming Festival to Tianjin!" "Wu Ninghou returned to the capital and took away the servants"!
The person who took the lead in shouting slogans shouted at the top of his lungs, shaking the mountains and rivers with anger! For a while, even the people who followed were infected, became impassioned, and started shouting loudly!
Even the common people who were confused and mixed into the crowd felt that they seemed to be involved in something great, and they became excited and shouted from time to time!
As the crowd gathered, there were more and more people, but there was no confusion, as if there was someone leading the way. The crowd that gathered headed towards Liu Haojia's mansion, Liansheng Bank and Deyi Tea House respectively, and soon the three places were surrounded by water!
However, there are some differences between these three places. The doors of Liansheng Bank and Deyi Tea House were tightly closed, and even the windows were blocked by shutters. No one showed up, but Liu Haojia's mansion had people guarding it on the wall, and it looked like There are quite a few people.
Fortunately, the people surrounding these three places did not mess around. They just kept shouting various slogans under the leadership of some people. "The affairs in Tianjin should be managed by the imperial court, Wu Ninghou should return to the capital!", and "Wu Ninghou colluded with outsiders, and he is ashamed of his fellow villagers!" etc. The slogans were shouted loudly!
Moreover, the slogans shouted by some people at Liu Haojia's residence were quite unpleasant! Shouting, "The temptress has deceived Wu Ninghou, come out quickly and die!"
The whole Tianjin was thrown into chaos by the people who gathered, and was shocked by the slogans! Ordinary people closed their doors one after another, and each house hid women and children in hidden places. Men held various weapons-laden objects and stood in the yard fearfully to prevent anyone from rushing in!
But they didn't know that there were some people outside the city who were also wearing common people's clothes and shouting slogans, blocking the gate of the general camp. There are only more than 300 ordinary guards in the military camp, and they can only stay behind closed doors in front of more than 2,000 people.
Just when Tianjin was in chaos, there were more and more people in the military camp outside the city! They blocked the camp gate tightly, but they didn't dare to get too close to the camp gate. Because the door is obviously guarded.
In fact, most of the people gathered here were led by the He Gang and the Cangzhou Gang. They had long received news that there were only more than 300 people guarding the military camp, which was very sparse. So their purpose is to hold the camp.
As for other businesses, they closed their doors. The boss or shopkeeper and his assistants blocked all the doors and windows, and picked up various guys to guard the stores. Now these people are praying that no one will set fire to it.
In fact, Mr. Wang and others do not intend to turn Tianjin into a scorched earth, because that would confirm the charge of mob rebellion! What they need is a large-scale gathering to create the illusion that Wu Ninghou is causing public dissatisfaction, so that they can cooperate with people within the court to expel Liu Haojia and achieve the purpose of controlling Tianjin.
So not only did they not set fires, but both gangs sent many people to maintain order on various streets. So at the beginning, the crowd was peaceful except for chanting slogans.
But as the saying goes, plans don't change quickly. Just when the people found that although there was chaos outside, no one came to the door, and the merchants were a little relieved, the gangsters who had recently flowed in from other places finally took action!
When chaos broke out in Tianjin at the beginning, they were extremely happy! because
Only when there is chaos can they fish in troubled waters! But when they had the courage to take to the streets, they found that someone was actually temporarily maintaining law and order. This was not what they had in mind!
But of course they won't fight with the people from the He Gang! Tianjin is so big anyway, how can the He Gang protect everyone! So these people began to flow towards the place where the people lived. Moreover, after these people joined some remaining local gangsters in Tianjin, and then saw the chaos outside, their evil thoughts naturally reborn!
After tentative contact between the two parties, the two parties hit it off and jointly began to target ordinary people! However, those people from the Qianhe Gang protected mainly the places where the gentry and merchants were located. Because they can't afford to offend the gentry, and they still need to extort money from merchants in the future, they will naturally not let anything happen to them, so ordinary people are out of luck!
At the beginning, these rogues just broke into unoccupied houses, but the more they harvested, the bolder they became! Especially when two or three groups of people meet and merge into one group, the courage of the people becomes even greater!
Now they are no longer willing to break into empty doors. If they see people who may have money, they will gather together to break in and rob the money! For a time, the place where ordinary people lived was full of crying and fighting sounds!
But fortunately, these people are just looking for money. They just beat the men in the family until they can't resist and then throw them aside. If they encounter a woman and touch them casually, they will let it go easily! There are even more daring criminals who want to cause even greater chaos and simply set fire to residential buildings!
But these people are also cunning. They don't really set the house on fire. They choose some larger yards and gather some igniting things in the center of the yard to light them directly! After all, they are seeking money. If a fire really breaks out, not only will all the money be burned, but they might even get involved!
But the fireworks caused even greater chaos! Because people who saw the fireworks didn't know what they were doing, they just thought there was a fire around their homes, so the people rushed out of the streets crying! Some people organize to put out the fire, some run for their lives, and those gangsters are looking forward to this time even more!
