When other people heard what he said, they felt the same way. Yes, they originally fled here. If they couldn't enter the city, wouldn't they still die when winter comes? The difference is just starvation, cold death or being killed. Since you are going to die sooner or later, it is better to just fight hard and then die. At least you have enjoyed it before you die.
"Brother Bao, we will do it with you!" Others expressed their stance to Bao Daqiang one after another. Li Shichu had already warned them of the risks, and they would continue to do it. Then they could not blame her if anything happened in the future.
Although Li Shichu suggested that people must be very courageous in order to survive, Bao Daqiang united all the men among the refugees who were strong and could still work, and probably agreed on a time to start breaking into the city gate.
Although Li Shichu was the one who made key suggestions, she was not Bao Daqiang's fellow villager and her trust was not that strong, so Bao Daqiang did not count him among his "confidences".
But this was exactly what Li Shichu wanted. She had no intention of assisting Bao Daqiang in becoming king. She just wanted to take a ride into Funing City, buy a shop and open a medical clinic.
Bao Daqiang still has some leadership skills, and he quickly gathered the most action-oriented people among the refugees to work with him.
At three or four in the morning, Li Shichu was told that they were preparing to break into the city.
Bao Daqiang led his men and held knives - the knives were all the refugees' own belongings. After all, when they fled, everyone took out all the belongings they could bring with them because they didn't know if they could go back.
Li Shichu didn't have a knife, but she had a dagger.
There are also many talents among the common people, otherwise there would be no saying that "masters emerge from the common people". Bao Daqiang asked a few of the best wall climbers to quietly climb the city wall.
Funing City is not a wealthy city, and because of the corruption of the imperial court, the officials sent here are also following the same example. They are all corrupt officials. They have all the money in their arms, so naturally there is no money to build the city wall. , so the city wall became old and dilapidated, which happened to be advantageous to Bao Daqiang and the others.
The people who climbed up the city wall first did not alert the city guards. They put down a few ropes and then pulled up their own people one by one. Before long, hundreds of people were pulled up, and Li Shichu was among them.
"Kill! Rush into the city and open the city gate!" Bao Daqiang shouted. At the same time, the guards under the city gate were also alerted. They never expected that these refugees would be so bold as to break into the city at night.
The guards who woke up from the fright quickly picked up their weapons to resist, but they had not been trained much, and even their weapons were rusty. They were all greedy for life and afraid of death, and had no spirit of loyalty to their duties. Therefore, they were quickly killed by the refugees. Beaten to the ground.
Bao Daqiang did not expect that these guards were vulnerable and defeated so easily. The tension in his heart suddenly eased a lot and he became more confident. If those corrupt officials in the city also have this kind of fighting ability, then they are basically It's a sure win.
Li Shichu kicked off a guard and knocked him out with a hard knock on the head. The other guards were also eliminated one by one. Bao Daqiang quickly asked someone to open the city gate, and the people outside the city Refugees began to arrive one by one, dragging their families with them, scrambling for fear that they would not be able to get in if it was too late.
Li Shichu asked Bao Daqiang to quickly take people to deal with the officials in the city. It must be sure that none of them are left, otherwise it will be easy to cause trouble in the future.
Bao Daqiang quickly took people there, but after walking a few steps, he awkwardly asked Li Shichu: "Doctor Li, where are the government offices in Funing City and where are the residences of those corrupt officials? We don't know. What if we didn’t have time to find them and let them run away?”
Li Shichu wanted to roll his eyes: "The government offices are usually in the center of the city, and the official residences are usually near the government offices, in the most prosperous areas. If you really can't find it, just look for the beggars in the city and ask them to take you there. As long as If you say you want to open a warehouse to put food in, the beggars will definitely follow you! By the way, don’t rush to one place in a swarm, you have to divide your troops into several groups, otherwise something will slip through the net, and if you really don’t know how many corrupt officials there are , then ask the local beggar!”
"Oh! I understand!" When Bao Daqiang heard this, he suddenly felt confident. He quickly divided the people into pairs according to Li Shichu's instructions, and then went to find the beggars in the city.
Li Shichu looked at their backs and patted his forehead. If this kind of plan to drive ducks to market can succeed, it must be because God is helping them. The court is so bad, the prestige of the government and the ability of officials have been reduced to the extreme. Only this can Let the reckless Bao Daqiang succeed, after all, the right time, the right place and the right people.
Li Shichu did not follow them to kill corrupt officials, but helped organize refugees to enter the city. To be honest, Funing City is not a big city. It is difficult to take in so many refugees, but Bao Daqiang can take out the grain from the granary. Rescue them and they will be able to find their own way out, because humans have a strong survival instinct.
In the early morning of this day, the people in Funing City heard all kinds of noises on the street, but they did not dare to get up to check. The world is not peaceful and anything can happen. If you are too curious, you may not even know how you died. , so they can only protect themselves wisely.
So Bao Daqiang's operation was indeed very successful. The beggars in the city heard that after killing corrupt officials, they would also be able to get food. They did not need to be forced by the refugees, so they couldn't wait to lead the way.
Corrupt officials were afraid of death and had stolen a lot of money. They were afraid of being retaliated by the people, so they hired a lot of guards. Bao Daqiang and the refugees only had courage and not very sharp weapons, and faced the fat and strong guards. , it is difficult to succeed, but with Li Shichu as a variable, it is much easier for them, because Li Shichu gave them several large bags of poison and asked them to scatter it in the wind, or stick it to their weapons and get it on the guards. , and easily eliminated the guard.
After Bao Daqiang led his men to kill the corrupt official, he saw a treasure trove of gold, silver, jewelry and various valuables in the corrupt official's warehouse, which was blinding.
"Brother Bao, are these jewelry all ours?" A younger brother swallowed his saliva and asked Bao Daqiang, unable to move his eyes.
Bao Daqiang was also dazzled. His younger brother's words woke him up, and he realized, yes, the corrupt officials have been killed by them, so don't the properties of the corrupt officials belong to them?
He has never seen so many precious things. Any pearl here can be exchanged for hundreds of dollars. After Bao Daqiang realized how much wealth this was, his breathing began to quicken...
"Brother Bao, should we go find the granary first and then deal with these properties?" A relatively clear-headed companion reminded Bao Daqiang.
"That's right, we have to find a granary first. We need to open a granary to store grain..." Bao Da suppressed the greed in his heart and thought of his plan, so he had no choice but to say.
