Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

In fact, there were not many soldiers who rebelled, only a few hundred.Winning by surprise, many people on the opposite side were knocked down in the first wave of encounters. In addition, one planned and waited for work with leisure, and the other fought for a long time and lost all strength, so the result of the battle was one-sided.

After Li Cunzhang's head was crushed by the iron mace, Li Yanqiu was thrown to the ground by a long spear, and the soldiers were pinched from both sides, causing heavy casualties.

But they still insisted on fighting for a long time, until the villagers who besieged them were a little scared, and the last one fell unwillingly.

The news of the brutal fight cannot be hidden from anyone.

Soon, more and more sergeants rushed over upon hearing the news.Looking at the corpses all over the floor, they were shocked, and at the same time, they also felt an inexplicable excitement.

All sergeants, old and new, have a heartfelt compulsion to make noise.Being able to challenge the usually high-ranking generals, being able to plunder unimaginable wealth, and being able to play with delicate and expensive ladies, this kind of evil in human nature has a fatal appeal to the bottom.

It's a bit like a massacre.The excitement of Tucheng is not just killing people, but the feeling of raping, plundering, and playing with others.As for killing, it's just a quick stab after the robbing and playing.

For various reasons, many generals in later generations plundered and slaughtered cities to satisfy soldiers and build an army with low maintenance costs.For example, the Golden Army, whose large-scale signing army is actually a local peasant, has weak combat power and low morale. In order to improve their enthusiasm, they can only rely on plundering income to make up for the lack of military pay.

The green camp of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is actually similar.The former gold and the later gold all chose this low-cost army building model, which shows that it has considerable merit-how many Jurchens are there? More than 95% of the "Golden Soldiers" are not Jurchens, but they can still maintain a decent combat effectiveness.

"Everyone! This big event was done by Zhang Dalang. If he hadn't joined forces, everyone might still be bullied to death by the people of Jin." A black and black sergeant brandished a horizontal knife in his hand and said loudly: "Why don't you recommend Why is Zhang Dalang staying behind? Take us to have a good time?"

"Yes! Li Cunzhang and his son were killed by Zhang Dalang, we only recognize him."

"Zhang Dalang can stay behind!"

"Zhang Dalang can stay behind!"

The sergeants on good terms with Zhang Dalang shouted, and their voices spread far away.

Zhang Dalang smiled from ear to ear.

Mutiny has always been a small number of people involved.Sometimes even a riot of more than a hundred people can seize the power of a feudal town.

Sounds outrageous, but it's often true.As long as you guarantee the interests of the vast majority of warriors, they will stand by and watch.There is no essential difference between changing governors and envoys, or changing emperors.

Because not everyone is willing to be a leader.The emperor also said that there may be more people who like to be this, but Jiedushi is not necessarily true.That's why there are often spectacle of a hundred or ten people making trouble and eventually ascending to power.

Zhang Dalang reckoned that at this moment when the Xia people's army was pressing down on the border, probably few people would be willing to fight him, so he was quite confident.

And the development of the situation was indeed as he thought. Most people were silent after hearing it and did not object.

This is enough!Some superiors get the support of the majority of people, while some superiors only need most people not to oppose them.

"Thanks to the love from all brothers, I, Zhang Chun, will do my part." Zhang Dalang laughed loudly.

He stripped off Li Cunzhang's armor, put it on, and then, surrounded by more than a hundred people, he went to the Jiedu envoy's office.

Along the way, the warriors clamored all the way.When he reached the Yamen, the number of people following him had already exceeded a thousand.

Zhang Chun kicked open the half-hidden door, and entered the yamen that he didn't dare to look at before.

The soldiers guarding the shogunate did not stop them, and even surrendered on the spot to lead Zhang Chun.

"Where are the treasures? Quickly lead me there." Zhang Chun grabbed a small official and asked loudly.

"In..." The little official trembled.

"Lead the way!" Zhang Chun kicked his ass and laughed again.

The warriors in the back also laughed. Someone had already pocketed the silver wine jug on a certain table, and others were looking around for something of value.

A maid hid behind a tree and was caught by warriors.In just a split second, the hairpin on her head was snatched away, and the clothes on her body were also scrambled for. After all, they were made of high-quality materials.After being stripped naked, the naked servant girl wept bitterly, but the warriors laughed loudly, pressed her directly on the stone table, and set her up on the spot.

Someone finished it first, but did not leave, but stood aside, pointing at the maidservant who had shed all tears.After a while, if she is still alive, take this girl away and sell her to a kiln, maybe she can make some money.

The changes in the city quickly spread everywhere.Li Si'en, who was patrolling at the top of Dongcheng City, was stunned when he heard about it.

He and his soldiers looked at each other.

Some of the warriors of the Jingsai and Lulong armies were in the city, maybe they had been coerced, and some were at the top of the city. At this time, their eyes were twinkling and they whispered.

Li Si'en's back immediately seeped a layer of white sweat, and he swallowed with difficulty.

"Military envoy, the matter is urgent." A soldier quietly brought some lengths of rope over.

Li Si'en understood, he couldn't stay in the city anymore.He has only three choices at this time, one is to take the soldiers to join the rebel army, but the risk is extremely high, because the Jin people are likely to have been targeted, and most of them will lose their lives; That way, he might be stopped halfway, life and death are unpredictable, and he can only go down the city; the third is to persuade his more influential Jingsai soldiers to surrender with him and lead Xia soldiers into the city, but this is still extremely risky. Because it is likely to be hacked to death.

Li Si'en thought for a while, seeing the voices of the sergeants whispering louder and louder, he stopped hesitating and said decisively: "Everyone must also know that Youzhou is already an isolated city. The reinforcements from the east of the river are urgent, and even if they come, they will not be rescued." It may not be possible to break through."

The sergeants were taken aback when they heard him speak.

Someone looked at him with regretful eyes, thinking that we deliberately gave you a chance to escape, but what nonsense are you talking about here?
Some people looked at him with fierce eyes, their hands had slowly dropped to their waists, and they were looking around, asking other people's opinions with their eyes.

Some people looked at the city with eager eyes, wishing they could rush down to the city now and have a good time with them.

But most of them stood there, thoughtful.

When Li Si'en saw it, he was secretly happy, knowing that regular warriors are regular warriors, not as outrageous as those peasants who make trouble.For a while, he was still afraid of military law and dared not make any changes.

So he hurriedly struck while the iron was hot, and said: "Let me be honest, Youzhou can't hold it, and it will eventually fall. If so, what's the point of fighting? People are injured every day, people die every day, it's not worth it. Everyone If you believe me—"

Having said that, Li Si'en paused, and glanced at everyone's expressions.

Fortunately, most people can still listen to what he said.After being a military envoy for so long, his power is still there, which is the key to his success.Even the remnants of Lu Long's army were from serious martial arts backgrounds, and some officers were from the Jin Dynasty, and they've gotten to know each other well over the years, so it's not like they don't have any influence at all.

"If you believe me—" Li Si'en said loudly, "Let's open the city and welcome Xia's army into the city. Da Xia's son is my uncle, and I will definitely not embarrass my son."

The whispering voices had completely disappeared, and everyone was attracted by Li Sien.The person who wanted to do it also let go of the handle and remained silent.

"Don't look at the fun in the city at this time." Li Si'en has led the army for many years and knows the minds of the soldiers best. After observing the details, he is no longer afraid, and continued: "After Shao Sheng entered the city, he will definitely use him. His old man I don't like this kind of warriors who commit chaos the most. It's self-evident what will happen to these people. Are you going to die with them?"

The last batch of unwilling people also gave up their confrontation, and after a long sigh, they looked away from the city.

"Follow me, you can live! If you don't follow me, you will die! How to choose, give me a happy talk!" Li Si'en's eyes gradually became fierce, he swept everyone's faces one by one, many people dared not talk to him Looking at each other, they all lowered their heads.

The momentum is so wonderful.

At the beginning, Li Si'en panicked, afraid of being killed by the soldiers. At that time, Jingsai and Lulong's second armies were really fluctuating in morale, whispering to each other, and they seemed to join in the chaos.

At that time, many warriors looked at Li Si'en with provocative and playful eyes, as long as someone raises their arms, they might go up and dismember his body.

But at this moment, after observing the expressions and movements of the warriors, Li Si'en became more and more imposing, and had the intention of reprimanding them.

No, more precisely Shi En.I will intercede for you in front of my uncle, so that you can survive, why don't you kneel down quickly and obey my orders?

Momentum is indeed something that ebbs and flows.If you are weak, others will be strong, and if you are strong, others will be weak.In short, either the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overwhelms the east wind, which is very interesting.

"You are a military envoy, you have the final say, and I will follow orders." After a long time, someone finally spoke.

This person is a military officer, although he is from Yan, but he has received Li Si'en's kindness, and he didn't want to kill him at first, but he was coerced by the general situation and couldn't help himself.Seeing a subtle change in the atmosphere at this time, he immediately jumped out to cooperate.

Li Si'en glanced at him approvingly, and then cast his eyes on several small schools that were relatively prestigious in normal times.

Several people couldn't bear his gaze, and said one after another: "The military envoy is the master, and we will obey."

"Okay!" Li Si'en slapped his thigh and said, "Follow me to the city, open the door!"

After all, let's go first.The cronies followed closely behind, and the soldiers all followed the crowd. When an officer took the lead, they calmed down and followed down the city together.

The east city wall of Youzhou is on the line of Lanman Hutong in later generations.There are some defenders at the gate of the city, most of them are Youzhou state soldiers.

They were a little stunned when they saw a large group of soldiers approaching.

"I want to open the city, are you going to stop me?" Li Si'en stood there with a grin and asked.

Hundreds of sergeants had already formed a formation behind him, and the sound of bowstrings being tensed could be heard everywhere.

The state soldiers stalemate for a while, and finally a small school came forward and said: "I'll open the city after I wait here, and General Li will do it myself."

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand, and the soldiers from Youzhou went to the winch to operate it.

The drawbridge was lowered first, then the city gates...

Youzhou City changed hands.
