    ?

    Zhang Huanghu occupied Luzhou Mansion and did not stay there for long. The officers and soldiers quickly snatched Luzhou Mansion back.

    Zhang Huanghu was overwhelmed by the officers and soldiers, so he had to attack everywhere. The surrounding cities, prefectures and counties were all captured, looted, burned and abandoned by him.

    Including Luzhou Mansion, all the cities captured by Zhang Huanghu's team were burned and looted. The officials newly sent by the court could only work in the boat, and the officers and soldiers could only camp in the suburbs.  The common people also brought their families and their mouths to run as far as they could.  Those who couldn't run had to stay in the dilapidated house.

    Although the officers and soldiers still had the upper hand at this time, the rogues robbed wherever they went, and there were salaries everywhere, but the officers and soldiers could not openly plunder, and could only rely on the local government to collect food and salaries.  Where do you collect food and salaries?

    Although the combat effectiveness of the officers and soldiers surpassed that of the rogues, it was difficult to replenish them after they were lost. However, the rogues were continuously joined by refugees who had fled for various reasons, and the team was growing day by day.

    Officers and soldiers need the imperial court's order to transfer defenses, but the rogues can go wherever they want, and they can do whatever they want. Often when the officers and soldiers get the news of a rogue, the rogue has already gone to another place.

    Not only that, because the officers and soldiers had not been paid for a long time, they were very embarrassed about food and clothing, and they were led by the nose by the rogues, and they were forced to march in a hurry.  team.

    Under the ebb and flow, the strength of the rogues gradually became stronger, and the officers and soldiers were exhausted, blocking one side and leaking the other, and could no longer control the situation.

    After abandoning Luzhou Mansion, Zhang Huanghu's team went all the way south, built boats in Chaohu Lake, trained sailors, and planned to attack Nanjing.  However, due to the tight defense of Nanjing, the trip failed in the end.

    Afterwards, he continued to go south, and even visited several cities.

    On this day, Zhang Huanghu's army came to the city of Qizhou by night.

    Qizhou has been in the heyday of Kejia since ancient times, and there has always been a saying that "the red stone is flooded with water, and the champion is full of street tours".  The Jingwang Mansion is also located in Qizhou.

    Qizhou has always been prosperous, and it was already one of the six major business centers in China in the Southern Song Dynasty.  Today, merchants still gather and trade flourishes.

    Qizhou is also the hometown of Li Shizhen, where there used to be a saying that "all finger grass is medicine, and passers-by know medicine".

    Zhang Huanghu's team included people from cities near Qizhou, who had already reported to Zhang Huanghu the prosperity of Qizhou.  Zhang Huanghu has long been determined to take Qizhou down.  It's just that I was chased by officers and soldiers before, so I couldn't get it right for a while.

    At this time, the sky is free and convenient, how can we not take it?

    However, the city walls of Qizhou Mansion are tall, surrounded by rivers and ports, easy to defend but difficult to attack, Zhang Huanghu took a lot of thought.

    Later, Zhang Huanghu's counselors gave him an idea, let Zhang Huanghu lead the army to attack the city from the front, and then sent people into the Qizhou mansion from the waterway to respond, and took Qizhou city.

    In Qizhou City, there are many mansions of champions, gentry, filial and honest, and talented scholars. These people have contributed the most to deal with the bandit army and have the most firm stand. They are the ones who command and fight Zhang Huanghu's team in Qizhou City.

    Therefore, as soon as Zhang Huanghu entered the city, he arrested these people, drove them from the east gate of Qizhou City to the west gate and walked around the street, and then asked the soldiers to kill them all.

    After Zhang Huanghu led the team to plunder in Qizhou City, he continued to go south.

    It is said that in Macheng County, there is a big family named Mei, named Mei Ming, and there is a slave named Tang Zhi under him.

    Speaking of slavery was very popular in society at that time, not only rich families, but also newly rich families, who had some money in their hands, bought slaves in addition to buying land, and families with a little money did not have a slave at home.  Doing things is unreasonable.

    Not to mention the big families, these big families often either have fame and enjoy the privileges of the court, or have a lot of money, collude with the government, and are very powerful. Therefore, in addition to buying slaves themselves, there are many powerless farmers who bring them  and the fields go to slaves.  Therefore, every big family has at least one hundred servants.

    Most of these servants were sent by big households to work in the fields and manors, farming, brewing wine and even running businesses. Some of them were also used at home to take care of the daily life of the masters, wives and young masters, responsible for garden sweeping, daily chores, etc.

    No matter what kind of business they are engaged in, the status of these servants is very low. The masters can beat them as much as they want, and even if they are killed, they will pay at most two cues.  Moreover, these slaves are often slaves for one day and generation after generation, and are passed down from generation to generation, with low status and discrimination.

    If the slaves who sold themselves as slaves and took refuge in slavery earlier were forced by the situation at that time, they were more or less grateful for the benefits of the old man, but their descendants have been enslaved and discriminated against for generations.I don¡¯t want to feel angry, if the country¡¯s laws still exist, I dare not do anything, but at this time the world is in chaos and bandits are rampant, I can¡¯t help but feel different.

    This Tang Zhi is a personal slave who is responsible for taking care of the family's daily life in the family of the big family Mei Ming.  In normal days, Tang Zhi took advantage of Mei Dahu's power to show off his power and run wild in the countryside, but he was also very majestic.

    It's just that after the prestige outside, when you return to the house, you will inevitably be angry with the masters, wives, young masters and ladies, and you will feel a little unbalanced occasionally.

    Moreover, since I am so majestic, but because of my status as a slave, I still can't help but be laughed at by some poor and jingling people, and I can't calm down even more.

    For a long time, he had the idea of ??leaving the country.

    It is said that his family has served five generations in the Mei Mansion, and there is hard work without credit. It is not an excessive request for him to quit his citizenship.

    He had mentioned it to Mei Dahu several times on the sidelines, but Mei Dahu always pretended not to understand and ignored it.

    In Mei Dahu, it may be that he cherishes his talents and is unwilling to let him go out, which makes him lose a right-hand man.

    But for Tang Zhi, it's like wearing a transparent shackle on his body. If you don't pay attention to it, it seems like you don't have it, but once you notice it, you will feel uncomfortable no matter what.  And this awkwardness grew day by day until it became unbearable.

    For a while, news about the rogue Zhang Huanghu's coming to attack the city has been circulating in Macheng.  All the big households in Macheng are in panic.  Mei Dahu was no exception. Under panic, his mood became bad and his temper became irritable.

    But Tang Zhi was so preoccupied with leaving his nationality that he even forgot his usual housekeeping skills.

    On this day, he brought up the matter of leaving his citizenship with Mei Dahu again.  Maybe it was because Mei Dahu didn't pay attention to the side-talking several times before, Tang Zhi was really anxious, this time he knelt down and begged Mei Dahu's grace to release him.

    At this time, Mei Dahu had just come back from the teahouse with him. In the teahouse, Mei Dahu exchanged the latest news about Zhang Huanghu with several other big households, and discussed the countermeasures, but they couldn't explain why. In the end, they couldn't figure it out.  .

    Mei Dahu, who returned home, was worried and frightened at this time, listless.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
