Chapter 74 The Anti-Thief King II (for further reading, for collection)
Seeing the enthusiasm of the boss, Li Chaosheng smiled and said, "Boss still remembers us?"

"Remember, remember, last time you ate more than 30 bowls of my noodles."

The boss said with a smile, Li Chaosheng heard this and said: "I can't eat that much today, let's have eleven bowls first."

"Come on, wait a moment, I'll roll out the noodles for you right now."

The boss went to work, at this moment Li Chaomeng looked at Li Chaosheng and said, "Brother Chaosheng, what's the matter with the soldiers at the city gate talking about rebels?"

Li Chaosheng shook his head and said, "I don't know either. Wait a minute and ask the boss. They are well-informed about business."

Li Chaosheng said, Li Chaomeng stopped talking, and soon the boss brought out the noodles, each with four pieces of fat meat, as usual, Li Chaosheng distributed the fat meat to Li Chaomeng and the others.

Li Chaosheng ate noodles alone, and while eating noodles, seeing that the boss was leaning against the door, Li Chaosheng smiled and said, "Boss, sit down and chat."

The boss was a talkative person, so he had nothing to do at this time, so he simply sat down at Li Chaosheng's table and started chatting with Li Chaosheng. While chatting, Li Chaosheng deliberately brought the topic to the rebels.

"By the way, boss, when we just passed the city gate, we saw that the number of soldiers at the gate had doubled, and they said we were going to take the rebels? Where did the rebels come from?"

After hearing this, the boss laughed and said: "Rebels, there are indeed rebels, but it has nothing to do with our Lantian, it is Baishui in Weinan."

"White water."

Hearing this, Li Chaosheng was taken aback. Baishui was indeed Baishui. Li Chaosheng recently made up for this history. The vigorous peasant uprising in the late Ming Dynasty started from Baishui, also known as the Baishui First Uprising.

Li Chaosheng was thinking about it, when the boss sighed and said: "Hey, these rebels are pitiful. It hasn't rained in the northern part of Guanzhong this year, and the crops have not been harvested. They all withered in the ground, especially the disaster caused by white water is more serious. Listen It is said that some people have already started to eat dirt."

After hearing this, everyone was silent for a while, eating soil, Li Chaomeng and the others have heard of it, but they have never tried it, and the reason is very simple. Lantian belongs to the southern Shaanxi area. Although it is also facing drought, it still rains a little. Live so as not to eat dirt.

But there is no rain at Baishui. The whole Baishui, including the northern Shaanxi area, is almost thousands of miles away. According to historical records: the grass and trees are exhausted, people eat each other, people's skins and bones are exhausted, and there is no hope of saving lives.

As a result, the common people even gnawed out the bark, and only eat soil or eat people. Eating soil refers to eating Guanyin soil. After eating, it is easy to get stuck in the stomach and intestines. In the end, people will not be able to poop, and they will be alive. die.

But one benefit of eating soil is that it can give you a sense of fullness. People who have never been hungry don’t know that when a person is extremely hungry, as long as it can make him feel full, he can swallow the soil, not to mention poison.

Everyone was silent for a while, the boss sighed and said: "The government is forcing the people to rebel, this world is really fucked up."

After hearing this, Mengzi couldn't get enough of it and said: "Boss, half of what you said, white water brings disasters, people can't eat, and after that, didn't the court provide assistance?"

Hearing this, the boss shook his head and said: "No, not only did not, the court also raised taxes, Liaodong has a new leader this year, called Huang Taiji, who is still Huang Taiji, and they are making trouble in Liaodong again, we fought them several times field, leading to an increase in military expenditure, so Liao Xiang also increased."

"White water brought disaster, the county magistrate reported it to the government, and the government reported it to the governor. The governor directly rejected the request for disaster relief. At the same time, he asked all officials to seriously supervise Liaoxiang's preparations. This is simply worse."

"In the end, the boss surname who couldn't survive, under the leadership of the anti-thief leader Wang Er, gathered hundreds of victims, raised the anti-flag, armed with knives and guns, smeared his face with ink, attacked the official warehouse, robbed the food, and scattered it to the public. victims."

"After the governor received the information, he immediately ordered the officers and soldiers to suppress the thieves. Wang Er led his men into the Luobei mountainous area and escaped the encirclement and suppression of the officers and soldiers."

"it is good!"

Hearing this, Li Chaomeng shouted excitedly, and then praised: "Wang Er is really a hero, refreshing."

"Shhh! Shut up, you don't want to die!"

The owner of the noodle shop trembled in fright when he heard what Li Chaomeng said, and quickly got up to look at it, and applauded the rebel, you don't want to live, if people hear this, be careful and arrest you as a rebel.

Li Chaomeng was still a little unconcerned at this time, but Li Chaosheng stared back at him, followed Li Chaosheng and said to the owner of the restaurant opposite: "It's okay, my brother is outspoken and a bit reckless."

After hearing this, the owner of the noodle shop said: "I was scared to death, you are too reckless."

The boss said, Li Chaosheng said: "Should I say it or not, this Wang Er is a man, but Wang Er rebelled in Baishui, and there were officers and soldiers blocking the road, so it can't be spread to our Lantian, isn't this county government a little too nervous? .”

The boss heard this and said: "Guest officer, do you really think that the gate of the yamen is for catching rebels?"

"if not?"

Li Chaosheng was taken aback for a moment, then the boss said: "Catching traitors is fake, but taking advantage of the opportunity to make money is the real thing. Recently, the entry and exit fees of this county have more than doubled. If you don't pay, you will be charged as a thief. Didn't see it." Are there not many people on this street?"

Looking at the deserted street outside, the boss couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Li Chaosheng also sighed when he heard the words. The officials didn't want to suppress thieves, but instead thought about how to make money every day. It was really hopeless.

The Baishui Shouyi, in fact, started in 1625, which is the fifth year of the apocalypse. At that time, Baishui people could no longer live happily, and the hungry people were everywhere. At that time, the governor Qiao Yingjia did not handle it properly. , causing the people to suffer unspeakably, starving to death everywhere.

After two years of fermenting like this, Wang Er finally couldn't bear it anymore, and rose up, killing officials and rebelling.

Here, the leader of Baishui Shouyi is really called Wang Er, not a pseudonym, nor a nickname. To be honest, when Li Chaosheng read the information, he was also taken aback by this unpretentious name. After all, this kind of name contains numbers. But there are many ruthless people, such as Zhu Chongba, Chen Jiusi, Zhang Jiusi...

But it is a pity that the second brother Wang did not escape the curse of history in the end, that is, the first rebel did not end well...

Sucking, sucking, everyone was eating noodles, Li Chaosheng thought to himself, it seems that his arrival did not cause too much moth effect, Baishui Shouyi is just the beginning, and it will be more lively in the future, Fugu Wang Jiayin, Suide Wang, Ansai Gao Yingxiang...

These early rebels should appear one after another in the coming year. The world will be in chaos, and the Zhu family’s 200-year national fortune will come to an end. Next will be the stage of reckless heroes, the stage of frontier Tartars, and many people. My stage is also my Li Chaosheng's stage!
