After Wu Renyi ran down the mountain, he added fuel to the "atrocities" of these mountain people and made a big black report to the Song Magistrate, County Chief, County Secretary, County Lieutenant and others. According to what Wu Renyi said, it wouldn't be too much to arrest these mountain people and behead them. But the fact is not ordinary violent tax resistance, but these mountain people really raised the flag of rebellion and prepared to rebel against the Song Dynasty!
Following Wu Renyi, the mountain people and Li Zheng from several villages in Shi Cang Youyang came down the mountain one after another, and ran to the county government office in disgrace to report the matter to Magistrate Song. Song Guangdou and others originally thought that it was just a small number of people violently resisting the law, and it was not surprising that the spark was a spark. Unexpectedly, the situation had deteriorated to the point of real rebellion. According to reports from the mountain people and Li Zheng, the rebels on the mountain had armed all the people, but when they saw the government officials wearing official clothes, they took them back and gave them a good beating first, and then humiliated them. Just kill them all. What kind of bullshit taxes and grains from the imperial court, he can't survive these days, his life is almost gone, who cares how much grains he has to pay!
The life of the mountain people is very hard. Not many families have enough to eat in the first place. When the weather is good, if they catch one or two big prey, the family can have enough food for a month. If you get sick, your family will be destroyed. As soon as Wu Renyi went up the mountain, he put a knife on their necks and forced them to die.
The two brothers headed by them were named Lin Ju and Lin Yi. They were originally honest hunters. When the tax was collected, Lin Ju had not hunted prey for several months. He and Lin Yi were wandering around in the mountains at that time. His son also had a hot temper. He had a dispute with Wu Renyi's group and was hung up and beaten severely by them. All the belongings in the family were smashed and Lin Ju's wife was also humiliated. When Lin Yi, Lin Ju, came back from the mountains, when he saw this scene, the three corpse gods jumped up, picked up an ax and hacked a tax collector to death on the spot. The two of them were used to fighting wild beasts in the mountains. Killing people was like chopping melons. There is no difference in chopping vegetables.
Killing one official is death, killing a hundred is also death, no matter what, it is a dead end. Seeing that their family has failed, the two brothers are desperate, their tears have dried up their blood, and they decided to rise up! They are also two people with extremely high reputations in the hunter circles around Youyang. Even the two brothers have trouble living, and it is even more conceivable for the others. They raised their arms and shouted, and more than 2,000 people from several villages in the mountains of Xinghua responded! Where do these people come from? Usually there is not even a ghost in the mountains. When their large team was counted, they did not expect there to be so many people.
Their team used Youyang Township as their base, rushed into the homes of local wealthy families, robbed food, and occupied the big houses. There are still a few wealthy families in Youyang. They cannot live a stable life. However, if they are crazy enough to start a rebellion with these poor people, they would rather hand over their food and give up their houses. In front of the rebels, they said that these were food and wages to support the martyrs. As soon as the mountain people let them go, they dragged their families down the mountain to report to the officials. In front of the officials, they added fuel to the fire and told how these rebels robbed them. The land, money and food, the rebel thieves are so powerful.
The two brothers, Lin Ju and Lin Yi, gained territory, money and food, and their confidence became stronger. In the past, they worked so hard that they could never have enough to eat. This rebellion requires money, food, and food, and they can live in a big house. The two brothers did not rebel for their own selfish interests. As soon as they got the money and food, they distributed it to everyone. This behavior more directly gained everyone's favor. The mountain people's support for their brothers became stronger, and the rebel team became more and more popular. It grew so fast that even some people from nearby state capitals heard about it and came to invest. Some were speculative, while others had no way out. In just a few days, Shi Cang Youyang in Xinghua has been completely defeated, and several small towns in Zhongshan, Shezhong are almost within their sphere of influence.
The mountain people's rebellion was directed towards the county town, but the poor people in the county town didn't know about it. First, Wu Renyi fled down the mountain to report to the magistrate of Song Dynasty. Some officials in the county only thought that he was a bluff, blowing up sesame seeds and mung beans to the sky.
rebel? There has never been such a hero in the land of Fujian for thousands of years. The rebellion in Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan was like drinking water, because the ethnic composition and origins were different. The rebellion in Henan, Hebei, Gansu and Shaanxi was because they were too poor, too chaotic and too numerous. The locust drought and military disaster are like drinking water, and it is similar in Shandong. The heroes of Liangchuan have not yet appeared on the stage.
There are not many rebellions in other places. As long as there is a chance to survive, no one would dare to do such a thing. But in Fujian, from the Shang and Zhou dynasties to the Song Dynasty, no one has heard of anyone rebelling in these thousands of years. , no matter how poor the mountains here are, they can still feed people, and the sea can nurture people. No matter how bad the people are in the year, they are still better than in the northwest, where they can't even eat the bark of a tree.
Song Guangdou felt sad in his heart. His official career should not be so good. He finally became a magistrate of a happy place and encountered a bad event that only happened once in a thousand years. .
Song Guangdou did not dare to spread the news before the truth was known to avoid causing unnecessary panic. This year was so damn troubled that even a mature scholar like him couldn't help but curse in his heart. He finally got through this big event. Waterlogging has also gained a lot of good reputation. If this war disaster really breaks out in our own territory, then all our efforts in the past few years will be in vain.
During the typhoon and severe floods, Song Guangdou was just too worried to sleep. Now, the sparse headmen have to take care of a handful every day, and their appearance is as haggard as a dehydrated mummy. He was used to standing in front of the window. The autumn wind was not as hot as the heat, but it felt refreshing and fuzzy on his body. However, this matter weighed heavily on his heart and made him tasteless and uninterested in enjoying the beauty of this golden autumn.
At this time, he did not dare to report the news to the state capital rashly, because the news was so shocking. At least he did not believe that there would be rebellion here, let alone those high-ranking state officials. Although many people are now coming to report that there are people rebelling, there are not many cases of three people becoming tigers among such ordinary people. He must send reliable people to confirm.
Master Lu, as his staff, has been an old partner for decades. He is also very depressed now. If things like this happen, the county magistrate will definitely be unlucky. The best case scenario is to be relegated to another place, and the worst case scenario is that he will be relegated to another place. It’s just that the yarn is not guaranteed. No matter what happens, he will have to suffer. His family has also settled down in Xinghua. If they move to another place, they are already old and cannot withstand such a torment.
The old man sighed. He could tell what he was thinking just by looking at his back. He compressed the last air in his lungs and sighed: "Let me take people to the mountain to see what the situation is like. Do it here." Waiting is not the answer, if the situation becomes serious, the county can also request military reinforcements from the state capital."
Song Guangdou was suddenly startled as he looked out the window. He was surprised but not surprised that his old man revealed what was on his mind, "Ji Tian, we are all old. If we can survive this time safely, we will retire." Bar."
Ji Tian is the name of Master Lu, and everyone will call him Master Lu. This title is rarely called by outsiders in front of Master Lu. Over time, it became more like a special name used by the magistrate of Song Dynasty to express affection for Master Lu. Master Lu gave a bitter smile: "Yeah, I'm old." There were no more words to say in these four words. These four words were full of helplessness, loneliness, and the resignation of death. If there was still a choice, who would be willing to enter the tiger's den.
"Ask Li Chengfu to go with you. Bring all the county's arrest squad, guns, clubs, shields and crossbows in case of any unexpected events!" Song Guangdou could not help Master Lu with the others, so he could only support him with manpower and equipment. .
When Li Chengfu heard about this glorious mission, his face turned pale with fright, as if his own father had died. Damn the scene Wu Renyi came back to talk about, the gang of mountain people killing government officials and tax collectors was like killing chickens. What's more, these gangs have been in the mountains all year round with wild beasts, and they are very skilled in swords and arches. If you go to them to cause trouble, you are not cleansing yourself. He put his neck close to their knife edge. It's not easy to build a gold mountain now. It can't be overstated to say that the money is made every day. If you die in this journey, it's just a fool.
The news is still under seal, and most people don't know it yet, but everyone in the county government system knows it. They are going up the mountain at this juncture, and the government officials are very frightened. Do they think they are some kind of army to suppress the rebellion? They just want to make some stable money, not money that puts their heads in their belts.
These people in the arresting class are still the elite among the government officials, with outstanding physical and mental abilities. They were all uneasy, and even before they set off, the two of them quit, threw away their clothes, and went home to farm. This made the other government officials even more disappointed. They were just doing this for money, not to sacrifice their lives for the country. of.
The group of people, Mr. Lu, was silent and his back was a little rickety. Li Chengfu had received the death order from Magistrate Song, and it was impossible not to go because the military situation was urgent. After getting ready, the group hurriedly set off on the road. The two leaders were walking at the front, and the government officials behind them were trotting behind them. Although they were reluctant, at least there were more people and strength, and there would be no problems if they followed a large team.
The road closest to Youyang on the mountain was supposed to go up the mountain from Xiayuan, that is, go up the upper reaches of Nanxi River, but Li Chengfu gritted his teeth and went the opposite way, heading for Fengshan Mountain. He made up his mind. Since he was only going to confirm whether the mountain people had really rebelled, rather than to suppress and rehabilitate the bandits, it would be enough to get the news. As for which country to go to, Magistrate Song had no specific requirements. He also had a small plan, which was to go to Helu and move a great god to help him.
This reinforcement was none other than Liang Chuan from He Lu. Master Lu didn't know Li Chengfu's intention to do the opposite, and was afraid that he would ruin the military situation. Li Chengfu only told the truth after repeated questioning. Not to mention, he had forgotten about this kid. He was very resourceful and had no idea. If there is a military disaster, it will definitely affect the fish under the city. Their village is at the foot of the mountain and will bear the brunt. The first fire will be burned on their heads. He cannot stay away from the world.
