Goryeo, Tamra, Nanzhi Street, side alley.
Cui Meixiu was twenty years old, her real surname was Zhang, and she was the head wife of a wealthy family named Cui nearby! In November of this year, the Chiyang fleet headed by Kang Lin defeated the Goryeo army defending the city and occupied Jeju City! Zhang Meixiu's husband, Choi Dahu, was dissatisfied with the confiscation of the short-haired "Japanese pirates", jointly bought the land from the landlords, and liberated the slaves of Goryeo officials. He secretly colluded with Li Zhenqing's gang, intending to overthrow Chiyang's rule and welcome back the Goryeo king!
In December, Cui Dahu, who had planned for a long time, together with several other big families in the city, paid and provided food to recruit a group of guerrillas. They also sent people to contact Li Zhenqing, the former pastoral envoy of Jeju in Jingyi County, in an attempt to cooperate internally and externally to control Jeju. The city returned to Goryeo rule! Unexpectedly, the matter was not kept secret. Cui Dahu did not wait for the King of Goryeo led by Li Zhenqing to come, but he waited for his own servant to stab him in the back! After the latter learned that Chiyang liberated the official slaves and gave them paid land distribution, he did not hesitate to tell the Chiyang defenders in Jeju about his master's plan!
After that, there was nothing more to do. Liu Laoliu, the magistrate of Tamluo Province, who was looking for someone to kill the chickens and scare the monkeys, immediately sent Zheng Nansheng and a team of troops to capture Cui Dahu and Cui Dahu's accomplices after getting the exact news. As for the family, as for the people, except for a few leaders who were beheaded in public, the rest were all sent to Nanshan to dig coal! And Zhang Meixiu went there as she should! As the saying goes, the three major hardships in the world are punting, blacksmithing, and grinding tofu, and coal mining is the worst of the hardships. I am so tired every day, and so dirty! The clean and tidy clothes during the day turned into beggar's clothes at night, and the fair and handsome face in the morning turned into briquettes at night! This can really mess up a former landowner who has no fingers in the water! You know, Zhang Meixiu was born into a wealthy family and married into a wealthy family. She had never suffered such hardship! Therefore, not to mention going to the mines to dig coal with those strong men, even like other convict women, she could not do such small things as sewing and mending for the men, washing and washing! Decades of pampering have made this bitch develop the bad habit of opening her mouth for food and reaching for clothes. It would be easier to kill her directly to get her to do things!
In the end, the camp supervisor had no choice but to arrange for this little Korean lady with bound feet to help cook in the canteen of the coal yard. She was not asked to chop vegetables and make soup, but only asked her to choose and wash the vegetables. Just clean it! However, even with this simple request, Zhang Meixiu, a rich lady, couldn't fulfill it. She would either cut off all the older vegetable leaves or overturn the vegetable washing basin! She was so clumsy that even the seven or eight-year-old kid next to her could do it better than her! So, Zhang Meixiu, who couldn't earn work points and didn't have enough to eat, could only tear away her face and start a business with a half-open door in a remote work shed! At the beginning, due to Mrs. Cui's fair skin, beauty and noble birth, some strong miners came to try her luck. However, as time went by, Cui's reputation as a high price scared away most of them. Most of the benefactors are cash-strapped. After all, although the bed is beautiful, it cannot be exchanged for food. Coupled with other half-closed doors, Zhang Meixiu's business quickly plummeted! Fortunately, at this time, a big shot from Jeju City took a fancy to her. He not only paid for her redemption, but also took her as a concubine, allowing her to become a wealthy lady with no worries about food and clothing again! .
And that big shot is the deputy commander of Chiyang's personal guard, Chang Hao! This later-generation college student only spent a few months in this turbid world and has already contracted many bad habits! Like gambling, drinking, smoking, drinking flower wine, and spending time with outsiders, he was just like someone else. The salary he received every month and the living expenses sponsored by Kanglin were often spent in a few days, and in the end he still needed You have to borrow money from everywhere to maintain the most basic life. This means that tobacco has not become popular on Tamna Island! Otherwise, it is estimated that Uncle Chang will try his best to get some and taste it!
All in all, in a word, Chang Hao is no longer the remnant of the bandits struggling to survive in Wendeng County and Chengshan Guard. With the respect and appreciation of his own leader, this guy's identity has changed in just a few months. He completed the sixth level jump and became the most popular mid-level officer in Chiyang! Therefore, this man, who feels that his career is going smoothly, sets his sights on enjoyment! In order to maintain his extravagant and chaotic private life, he first borrowed money from his colleagues, and then after realizing that this small amount of trouble could not satisfy his appetite, he set his greedy eyes on the salaries of the banner soldiers!
That's right, this guy who read a few idle books in later generations thought of the word "eating for free"! There are more than a hundred people in the leader's personal guard. Except for a dozen officers who are inconvenient to take action, the other hundred or so flag soldiers have thirty coins on their heads, which adds up to three to five taels of silver. If you save a little money, Enough to go out and have fun for several days! However, he forgot one thing, that is, desire is hard to satisfy. Once a person reaches out to places where he should not reach out in order to satisfy his desire, it will not be so easy to stop after that! Just when he thought he had done everything perfectly, Shen Qiu, the ambassador guarding the treasury, quietly appeared in front of him with a large sum of money and evidence that he drank the blood of soldiers! The former used money to lure him and threatened to report him. They used both methods to try to lure Chang Mou, the deputy supervisor of the Guards, into the water!
On one side is the shiny silver with snowflake patterns, on the other side is the silent threat of imprisonment! Chang Hao, who claims to be a smart man, made his decision without any brainstorming! As a result, in the following days, the two worked together in collusion. Not only did they use the grain counter in Chiyang's warehouse as their own cash machine, they sold a large amount of military grain and put it into their own pockets, and they also used embezzlement. The money comes to bribe those middle and low-level officials and petty officials, and reserve soldiers of the flag army, trying to weave a huge network of relationships to protect their own interests! If Zheng Nansheng hadn't discovered the fishy relationship between them this time, these silverfish in official skins would have been able to continue doing this!
"Everything is normal at the city gate. Except for one of Chang Hao's gang members, no one came near it! From this point of view, Chang Hao's thief should still be in the city. Search, you guys hurry up and search. Even if the entire Tamluo City is turned upside down today, Come over here and find that bastard for me! Damn it, what the hell, I treat him so well and dare to team up with outsiders to pry into my corner. It’s simply intolerable. What can’t be tolerated! Wait until you catch this beast. , I have to peel off his skin..."
Just when Chang Hao quietly returned to his outer house with his party members, a massive search operation was also launched with great fanfare in Tamna City! In addition to the new auxiliary troops staying at the city gate, the four newly formed divisions of the Chiyang Infantry Army and the two thousand troops have all been dispatched by Kang Lin into the city and began to search for Chang Hao's rebels from house to house! And Chang Hao's foreign residence, located in a side alley of Nanzhi Street, is of course no exception! Seeing the approaching Chiyang Banner Army and reserve troops, Chang Hao's party members who were on guard in the streets and alleys immediately rushed to the house where their lord was located, while the two guys on the second floor of the tea house also quietly hung up on the outer edge of the wooden window. He got a towel for wiping his hands and warned Chang Hao and others!
"Quick, towels are hung on the edge of the wooden window on the second floor of the teahouse opposite. If there is any situation, send someone out to check!"
"Lord, it's a disaster, it's a disaster! There are a lot of regular flag troops and reserve soldiers with guns and ammunition outside. It seems that they are coming towards us. Let's hurry up and move..."
After eating and drinking water, the confidants Chang Hao brought were taking the time to recharge their batteries, and he himself was taking a nap sitting on an armchair made of huanghuali wood! However, when he was half asleep, a maroon towel that kept fluttering caught his attention! Damn it, that was a signal, that was the signal sent to him by the spy on the second floor of the tea room! Isn't putting a towel on the wooden window just for wiping his hands a signal of his agreement with his men? It seems that soldiers from Chiyang are coming here. You must quickly call your cronies to prepare for battle. Otherwise, when those well-equipped soldiers approach, you and I may be caught off guard! Thinking of this, this guy was just about to ask Chang Da to come over and wake up some of his cronies, when the door over there creaked and someone pushed it open from the outside! The next moment, two sentries standing guard outside hurriedly stepped over the high threshold and rushed in like a gust of wind!
"Calm down, calm down, you have to be calm when things happen! What are you doing in a panic? Do you want to tell others that there is something wrong with us people? Xiao Su, you haven't shown your face in the city very often. Those flag soldiers probably don't know you. ! In this way, you and your Meixiu sister-in-law pretend to be husband and wife later to meet the interrogation of those black dogs! As for the others, follow me into the cellar immediately. This place is only a few miles away from the town guard house. Those black dogs will never know how to do it. To think that we have the guts to hide under their noses! Come on, come on, everyone, speed up!"
Seeing the panicked sentry crossing the threshold and rushing into his bedroom, Chang Hao couldn't help but have a look of anger on his face! His concubine Zhang Meixiu is still sitting on the bench resting in disheveled clothes. These bastards
My wife just ran in so frivolously, didn't she want to see her woman through and through? However, this was not the time to dwell on these issues. Feeling that the situation was serious, the guy just stared at the two daredevils with his eyes and immediately ordered his followers to follow him down to the cellar to take shelter temporarily! Yes, you read that right. Ever since Chang Hao made up his mind to form an alliance with Shen Qiu, this very thoughtful guy not only secretly recruited and cultivated more than ten people as his best friends, but also dug around in his outer house. Create a cellar for use in emergencies! This means that there is too little time, and Chang Hao is unwilling to make too much noise! Otherwise, it would not be difficult to dig a tunnel connecting the cellar with the outside of the city!
