I

Tabotan doesn't spend the night on the town!

It's not how vigilant this guy is, but that there are big houses built by local tyrants about three miles east of the town. It is not only luxurious and rich, but also has towering courtyard walls, which can not only enjoy comfort, but also protect one's own safety.

The strongest two hundred rebels were selected by Ta Po Tian as personal guards, and lived with him in a mansion outside the town.

The beautiful wives and concubines in the house were divided among several rebel leaders.

Maid, servant girl, assigned to those personal guard commanders.

Even the healthy women who washed and cleaned, as well as the women who were taken captive from the town, were given two hundred soldiers, and after they were full, their desires were released.

Ta Potian was sleeping soundly at the moment, and beside him lay a naked young woman.

The young woman was obviously ravaged, and she quietly got up in the dark after Ta Potian fell asleep. She took out a pair of scissors from the cabinet, tears running down her cheeks, and walked towards Ta Potian step by step.

"boom!"

In the dark, the young woman tripped over a stool.

Ta Po Tian suddenly woke up and asked, "What are you going to do?"

"Evil thief, even if I'm a ghost, I won't let you go!" The young woman knew that revenge was hopeless, so she held the scissors instead and stabbed herself in the chest fiercely.

Ta Potian hurriedly lit the oil lamp, looked at the young woman bleeding from her chest, and said in a daze, "You... don't you want to be a queen? I really want to marry you, and I don't care that you are already married. What is it if you die? You die What's the deal? Woooooooo..."

The thief actually cried bitterly in a low voice, because the young woman was his sweetheart whom he had been secretly in love with for many years.

Ta Potian's hometown is in Duliu Town.

He had been a private salt dealer, and of the lowest kind.

There are several ways to sell private salt in the Ming Dynasty——

One is official private, officials and their family members entrain and transport; the second is military private, the army participates in private salt sales; the third is commercial private, loading more than two catties beyond the quota of salt import; For the sake of smugglers, also known as salt lords, they gather thugs to engage in large-scale smuggling of salt.

As for Ta Po Tian, ​​it can only be called a salt stick.

Gather three or five young men, and sell salt through the villages and towns. The nature is similar to that of a hard-earned peddler.

Soil salt, divided into alkali salt and nitrate salt, is made by frying nitrate soil. The taste is bitter and poisonous, and only the lowest level people will buy it.

Even selling local salt, this meager profit is also being targeted by the inspection department.

Two of Ta Potian's partners were arrested. He took the remaining two brothers and fled to Tianjin South Wharf to survive. I could have worked hard to survive, but unexpectedly encountered several months of drought, the canal was dry and shallow, and the work of coolies on the docks was also lost.

Then rebel, go back to your hometown, and snatch your sweetheart—the granddaughter-in-law of Hu Yuanwai in this town.

With tears streaming down his face, Ta Potian sat beside the young woman's corpse, weeping heartbreakingly with suppressed voice.

"Boom boom boom boom boom!"

"Kill!"

The sound of drumming and shouting to kill suddenly came, and Ta Potian stood up in panic, and shouted while putting on his clothes: "But the officers and soldiers came to kill?"

...

Wang Yongshi tied the hem of his clothes around his waist, rolled up his sleeves and charged with his sword: "Guys, defend your hometown, at this moment, follow me to kill!"

Before setting off, these warriors each received three taels of silver to settle down, and after the battle they could also receive two taels of silver as a reward. Moreover, Wang Yongshi promised that they would be exempted from corvée labor for the next three years, and the service money would be directly wiped out in a whip tax.

Five taels of silver and three years of military exemption are enough to make people risk their lives.

The warriors are all strong and strong, and those with night blindness are not required.

Too bad they won't fight.

During the charge, the ranks were all in chaos, and the corporal leader couldn't find his subordinates, and even the leader couldn't figure out where the corporal leader was. Moreover, he didn't know how to conserve his strength, so he ran at full speed from a long distance, and he was exhausted and out of breath when he rushed to the small town.

mob.

Again, the peasant army is even worse!

The disorderly people scattered in the town were awakened by the sound of drums and shouts, and hurriedly dressed and went out to check. Seeing countless torches outside the town, he was so frightened that he turned around and fled immediately, not forgetting to bring the looted food with him.

No weapons, only money and food, completely forgetting that they are a rebellious peasant army.

Many rioters also suffered from night blindness. They fell into the canal in a panic and drowned countless people at night.

"Kill!"

More than five hundred warriors were originally afraid of death, but when they saw this situation, they suddenly lost their fear. They turned into peerless warriors one by one, often daring to chase and kill dozens of people.

The bravery of the township lost its organizational system in pursuit, and the rioters lost their organizational system when they fled, and the night raid turned into a muddled chaos.

Zhang Fen and Song Chunming, the chief inspectors of the village and township inspections, no longer looked embarrassed in the daytime. Now they seemed to be possessed by Lu Bu, waving his waist knife and chasing all the way. Wherever they go, there is no one enemy, and they each embark on the highlight moment of life.

After chasing for a while, Fei Yinghuan felt dispirited. He stopped and put his sword back into its sheath, and took out his folding fan to watch the moon and enjoy the shade.

Wei Jianxiong didn't even bother to use wrought iron rods, he just chased after him with a torch. He caught up with a rioter on horseback, captured him and asked, "Where is Tapotian? I told you not to die!"

The rioters replied in horror: "On the east side, in the house outside Hu Yuan."

"Not in the town?" Wei Jianxiong asked.

"Not here, not here." The rioters almost fainted from fright.

Wei Jianxiong left this man behind and galloped eastward on horseback, shouting all the way: "Quickly follow me to kill the bandit leader!"

No one responded, they all went crazy and chased after each other.

Wei Jianxiong had no choice but to ride alone. He didn't know where Hu Yuan's house was, so he reckoned the direction and galloped towards the east.

I don't know how far I ran, and finally saw a few rioters running for their lives with large and small bags on their bodies.

Wei Jianxiong chased after him with a horse, knocked one to death with a stick, smashed several heads in succession, grabbed the survivors and asked, "Where is Tapotian?"

"I don't know, they all ran away!"

"Bastard!"

Wei Jianxiong was so angry that he slammed down the stick, causing the man's brains to burst.

Ta Potian was also furious at this moment, officers and soldiers attacked Duliu Town at night, he was safe outside the town. Hastily summoned more than 200 soldiers, and even had time to move the goods, intending to continue to flee with these troops.

Unexpectedly, more than half of the more than two hundred guardsmen dispersed after only escaping for one mile.

Even the old brothers who sold the soil and salt together quietly left the team with their goods, and the ghosts who were in the dark didn't know where they went.

The team was hard to stop, and Ta Potian was disheartened, and said to the remaining hundred or so soldiers: "They are all good brothers who fought together. Now that the disaster is imminent, let's not embarrass everyone. Let's leave with our belongings."

Everyone was overjoyed and took away the goods from the car one after another.

But there were more than a dozen people left, who surrounded Ta Potian and refused to leave. They said: "General, the officers and soldiers who surrendered are dead, and returning home to farm is also dead. Why don't you fight for a future with the general!"

These words made Ta Potian rekindle his fighting spirit, and he was moved to tears and said: "We are all good brothers, you will not let me down, and I will not let you down. From now on, we will share the blessings and share the difficulties. The extra wealth No more, just bring food and weapons, bypass Jinghai and go to Yanshan County to start an incident!"

A mob with disheveled hair, originally shrunk to the back, suddenly stepped forward at this moment: "General, the younger one will lead the horse for you. The general is Guan Erye, and the younger one would like to be Zhou Cang."

Ta Potian laughed out loud: "Haha, it seems that you have also heard opera, and you have some knowledge in your stomach. Where is your hometown?"

The mob replied: "General Qi, my young family lives in Zongbao Village, Ziya Town, and the whole family fled famine to Duliu Town to beg for food. The luck is bad, the sky has no eyes, and all the family members starved to death. It just so happens that the General is doing something important."

"You speak so well, have you ever read a book?" Ta Potian asked doubtfully.

The rioters cupped their hands and said, "I have studied in the village school for several years, but unfortunately I was not admitted to be a scholar. My family has no money so I stopped studying."

Ta Potian said: "I went to Zongbao Village to sell salt, and there was a Juren in the village last year, called... what is it called?"

"Gao Eryan, courtesy name Zhongfu," the rebels explained, "that's my elder brother, he comes from the main clan, and I'm just a side branch. The younger one's name is Gao Ershun."

Ta Potian recalled: "Gao Ershun? I have a little impression. Does your family live in the east of the village?"

The rioters said, "Exactly, the general has a good memory."

Ta Potian finally stopped doubting and said happily, "Since Brother Gao is a scholar, he will be my military adviser from now on. I will become the emperor, and you will be the prime minister."

"Thank you, General, I will lead the horse for the general." The rioters took the opportunity to step forward.

Ta Potian handed the reins to the other party, and said: "Gao Junshi, I plan to go to Yanshan County to start an incident, you can give me a plan..."

In the middle of speaking, he stopped abruptly, and a dagger was stabbed into Ta Potian's stomach.

The rioter twisted the dagger half a turn, pulled it out and stabbed it in again.

After stabbing several times, Ta Po Tian slowly fell to the ground.

The rioters pulled out their waist knives, and quickly got on their horses. Before the other rioters could react, they swung their knives and slashed at them, shouting, "Gao Eryan, the governor of Ziya Town, is here!"

All the thieves were frightened and fled in all directions.

Gao Eryan turned around immediately, cut off Ta Po Tian's head, and galloped towards Duliu Town.

"Da da da da!"

After running for a while, there was the sound of horseshoes in the wilderness.

Gao Eryan shouted: "Who is coming from the opposite side?"

Wei Jianxiong replied: "Wei Jianxiong, the general under the command of King Jinghai!"

Gao Eryan held up his head and said: "I am Gao Eryan, the governor of Ziya Town. The head of the thief has already been executed. Here is his head!"
