The night before the storm in the capital.
Bazhou.
Tang Zihe and Zhang Mao's two groups, totaling more than 5,000 people, formed one force and lurked outside Bazhou City in the dark night.
Bazhou is just a small town. There is a Bazhou Guard ten miles away from the city. However, there are only a hundred soldiers from the Inspection Department and dozens of yamen from the prefecture's yamen. Of course, the more than 100 so-called "assistant arrests" under the Liu brothers can also be considered. Bazhou City's defense force, but unfortunately more than a hundred people were chopped into pieces by Tang Zihe's order.
At midnight, there was silence inside and outside the city. The city gates had long been closed. Dozens of soldiers at the top of the city were dozing off under the arrow stacks holding big pewter guns. Bazhou is very close to the capital. It can be said that morning comes and evening comes. Although it is located in the capital, Bazhou is very close to the capital. The southern barrier is an important location, but except for the Oara tribe who sent troops to the capital city after the Civil War, few foreign enemies have been able to attack here over the years. The Inspection Department has been deprived of food for a long time, so it is inevitable that it will become slack.
Hundreds of people took advantage of the dark night to get to the base of the city wall, while Zhang Mao stood outside the city gate brightly and loudly, calling for the door.
Because he and Bazhou garrison eunuch Zhang Zhong are sworn brothers, all the soldiers in the Inspection Department know him. Zhang Mao is usually very generous and generous, and is popular among people. When they saw Zhang Mao, only one person called the door, the soldiers did not doubt that he had it, and he was very proactive. They opened the city gate. They knew that Zhang Mao would definitely reward them after entering the city gate, not only for Zhang Zhong's face, but also for the sake of money.
The city gate opened a small crack, and this crack determined the sudden chaos in Beizhili.
What awaits the soldiers is not snowflakes of silver, but steel knives with necks.
Hundreds of people swarmed in. The soldiers had their throats cut with steel knives before they even had time to scream. They lay on the ground holding the blood spurting from their necks and twitching unwillingly.
The city gate opened wide, Tang Zihe and Ge Laowu waved their hands, and the five thousand rebels outside the city rushed into Bazhou City like a landslide and tsunami.
Bazhou is in chaos.
¡¡¡¡
¡¡¡¡
The rebels were killing, setting fire and looting everywhere. Countless people were so frightened that they hid in their homes and trembled. The patrol officers and the prefect¡¯s Yamen servants were all killed when the rebels entered the city. The entire city had fallen to the rebels. hand.
Zhang Mao's eyes were red, he slashed left and right with his knife, and went straight to Liang Hong's house. Today, he fell into the position of becoming a rebel and openly resisting the imperial court. It was all thanks to Liang Hong that he was Zhang Mao. The first person to kill.
Fires broke out all over the city, and the rebels were killing people in all directions. Tang Zihe, who finally entered the city, saw the rebels killing people and setting fires everywhere, and his beautiful eyebrows couldn't help but frown.
Seeing Zhang Mao leading dozens of people walking down the street with murderous intent, Tang Zihe quickly stopped in front of him.
"Master Zhang, hurry up and order your brothers to be restrained. From now on, Bazhou will be the foundation of our survival. If we slaughter people at will, we will be abandoned by the world in the future."
"Get out of the way! We'll wait until Zhang gets his revenge!" Zhang Mao angrily walked around Tang Zihe, grabbed the steel knife and ran towards Liang Hong's house.
A trace of dissatisfaction flashed in Tang Zihe's eyes, and he winked at Ge Laowu behind him. Tang Zihe himself also wanted to meet the imperial eunuch who forced Zhang Mao and other green forest tycoons to have no choice but to raise the flag to rebel, so the two They followed Zhang Mao and rushed to Liang Hong's house with him.
The Liang Mansion was in chaos. Seeing Zhang Mao and others approaching with murderous intent, the servants and maids who were looking at the door in panic screamed and fled in all directions. Zhang Mao and others seemed to be in a deserted place, broke in through the front door, and went straight to the house. Walking to the inner courtyard, he met the servants of the Liang Mansion who were running in panic. Zhang Mao chopped them down without saying a word and killed them all the way, which shows how strong the hatred in his heart was.
As soon as he walked to the moon gate of the inner courtyard, he met Liang Hong who was holding a bag of soft goods and was about to run away. The enemy was extremely jealous when he saw each other. Zhang Mao's eyes immediately turned red. He shouted and kicked Liang Hong to the ground. Go away, but did not kill him with a single blow. It was obvious that he wanted to slowly torture Liang Hong to death.
"Hero, spare your life. If a hero only seeks wealth, then the family I, I have gold and silver here to give Eh? You are Zhang Mao!" Liang Hong's face was pale, and all the hopes of surviving by chance were completely cut off at this moment.
"Liang Hong! You son of a bitch, you have made me suffer so much!" Zhang Mao raised the knife and dropped it. Liang Hong screamed and one of his ears was cut off alive.
At this moment, Liang Hong knew that Zhang Mao would not let him go, but his survival instinct still supported him in begging for mercy.
"Master Zhang, please forgive me. I was blind before and offended heroes like Master Zhang, but I was really forced to have no choice"
Zhang Mao smiled fiercely: "You have searched the whole city of Bazhou. How many people have been plundered by you and sold their children and daughters without a happy ending. The imperial government clearly stated that each household only has to pay two adult horses per year."?And you asked for five horses as soon as you asked, and those who couldn't hand them over were thrown into jail and given money in exchange for their lives, and did all kinds of unscrupulous evil things, but you still said you were forced? "
Liang Hong, regardless of the blood on his head, knelt on the ground and kowtowed frequently, crying out for injustice: "I am really being forced, if there is any falsehood, I am willing to be struck by thunder from the sky! Mr. Zhang, I am a eunuch, and I have done too many immoral things in my previous life." After receiving the evil retribution in this life, do you think that I don¡¯t want to accumulate good deeds in this life and cultivate good fortune in the next life? Do you think that I am willing to do such evil things that will damage my virtue and prevent me from being reborn in the next life?"
Tang Zihe, who had been silent for a long time, flashed his eyes and said, "Who forced you?"
Liang Hong cried: "I was originally the domestic slave of Liu Jin, the eunuch and eunuch of the Imperial Palace. Liu Jin was greedy for money by nature. He planted many party members in the court. He needed money in many places to make friends and win over ministers. Moreover, he also planned to retire from the palace in the future. After that, I returned to my hometown in Xingping, Shaanxi to rest in retirement. If I wanted to bury myself in the Tan family's ancestral grave, I would need more money, so I sent many domestic slaves like me to serve as imperial envoys and admirals in various places to collect money in the name of Ma Zheng Mine Supervisor. , especially in the past two years, Liu Jin has been forced into crises by Shanyin Marquis Qin Kan, and his position in front of His Majesty has gradually become dangerous. Liu Jin even asked me to collect money crazily and use it to win the hearts and minds of party members, so that the court can respond to everything, like Liu Jin, a domestic servant like me, sets the amount of money for us to collect every year. Any difference of one or two will make him furious, ranging from beatings and scolding to death with a stick. Mr. Zhang, all the things I have done in Bazhou in the past two years are not mine. What you want is really forced by Liu Jin!"
When Tang Zihe heard the name "Qin Kan", his beautiful autumn eyes suddenly lit up, and then he remembered something, and his eyes quickly dimmed again.
Zhang Mao sneered: "It's all sophistry. Do you dare to pat your chest and say that you didn't get the money you collected?"
Liang Hong¡¯s face turned pale and he was speechless.
Of course, it was impossible not to get rid of the money collected. On the contrary, Liu Jin, who had been favored by the people and anointed by the people, took very little, and most of it was swallowed by Liang Hong himself.
Tang Zihe, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly asked again: "You said that Liu Jin was forced into danger by Qin Kan. How is the situation in the capital now?"
Liang Hong said bitterly: "Liu Jin's situation is getting worse. Not long ago, the prince of Anhua County rebelled. I don't know what kind of hysteria the prince had. The rebellion document actually said that he was forced to rebel by Liu Jin. Liu Jin was busy instructing everyone in Xichang Collect the memorandum and prevent it from entering the capital to be seen by your majesty and ministers Yesterday, a family letter came from the capital, saying that your majesty had reduced Liu Jin's power to supervise the West Factory. It seems that his holy favor has gradually disappeared, and Qin Kan has gradually gained the upper hand, and Liu Jin¡¯s future is unpredictable. I am his servant, and my future is even more"
He stopped sadly before he finished speaking. It would be unreasonable for him to fall into Zhang Mao's hands at this moment. What "future" is there?
There was a spark of excitement in Tang Zihe's eyes, and he murmured to himself: "Build Tianjin and get rid of the traitors He is slowly fulfilling everything he has ever said, and he has not made any false promises"
Everyone looked at Tang Zihe's excited expression inexplicably. Only Ge Laowu, who was standing next to her, his face darkened. His face was gradually filled with gloom, and he frowned but said nothing.
After a long time, Tang Zihe suddenly said to Zhang Mao: "Master Zhang, the rebellion of King Anhua reminded me. Those who do things have always had to have a good name, otherwise everyone in the world will call us traitors, and the common people and scholars will not support us. It's only a matter of time before you die"
Zhang Mao was confused and said: "What Miss Tang means"
Tang Zihe slowly said word by word: "After we occupy Bazhou City, we must also issue a proclamation! Tell the people and scholars in the world that because today's emperor is stupid and there are traitors in the court, the people of the world are in dire straits, forcing us to have no choice but to Instead of attacking the city with troops, we seek a way out for the poor people all over the world. As soon as the message comes out, it is like ascending to a high place and shouting. Most of the people in the northern Zhili area are forced by the government to have no way out. Those who respond will inevitably gather. If the name is correct, the words will be followed. Everything can be done in the name of righteousness, and we can also do great things!"
Zhang Mao was a big boss, and he suddenly felt that what Tang Zihe said was reasonable, so his eyes lit up: "What a great idea! It's already turned against you, what else can't be done to lose your head? Let's just send out that message, recruit troops, and get it together. If we win the troops, we can do a big deal! But, what do we say in the memorandum? Who forced us to rebel?"
Tang Zihe pursed his lips and smiled: "Of course to be honest, we were clearly forced to rebel by Liu Jin, weren't we?"
After speaking, Tang Zihe smiled, then turned around and left the Liang Mansion. As for Liang Hong, who was limp on the ground, Tang Zihe didn't even glance at him. He fell into the hands of his enemy Zhang Mao. This Liang Hong was already a dead man.
An hour later, notices to calm the people were suddenly posted everywhere in Bazhou City, and military discipline orders were strictly enforced. In addition to the notices, the city was also littered with ink-stained inscriptions calling for thieves. The so-called "thieves" were naturally those of the Chief of Ceremonies of the Capital. Liu Jin.
An hour later, a Jinyiwei spy took advantage of the unpreparedness of the rebels in the city and quietly slipped out of the city along a collapsed city wall. He staggered towards the capital. The spy carried in his arms, except for the Bazhou Anmin Notice. , and a life-threatening message to beg a thief
When the secret agent rushed to the capital, Qin Kan was still in the study room of the Hou Mansion discussing the matter of eliminating traitors with Li Dongyang, Yang Tinghe, Du Hong and others.
There are fierce enemies inside and rebellion outside, all pointing directly at Liu Jin.
