Chapter 93 0090 [Rebellion! 】

Under the scorching sun.

Six headless corpses lay on the ground in a mess.

The strong smell of blood attracted countless flies, which made a buzzing sound as they flew up and down. Coupled with the scorching sun overhead, people couldn't help feeling restless.

Sun Zhi held the tax collector's head in his hand, took off the corner head, and asked aloud: "Green Kite, who are the notorious rich landlords in Linzi County?"

"Yuanwai Hu from Shangdong Village, Yuanwai Ge from Meicun Village, Yuanwai Chen from Shikou Village..."

The green kite is like a treasure, and a series of names are blurted out like the name of the dish.

Sun Zhi was immediately amused, and joked, "Isn't there anyone with a better reputation in Linzi County?"

"When Mr. Xu was here, all the pheasants passing by had to shed their feathers. Those with a conscience would have been tossed and ruined long ago, and the rest would be black-hearted."

What the green kite said made everyone laugh.

After laughing, a bandit asked, "Third brother, what should we do?"

"Not urgent!"

Sun Zhi waved his hand, and said confidently: "This person, if he is not forced into a desperate situation and feels that there is still a glimmer of hope of surviving, he will be lucky. He always thinks that if he endures it and endures it, he will have a good life."

"That's it!"

The other bandits nodded in agreement.

"So, we have to push them into a hurry. Rabbits will bite people when they are in a hurry!"

Sun Zhi restrained his smile, and threw the horned head in his hand over: "The green kite took off the clothes of the tax collectors. These days and nights, he went to various villages with his clothes on, and said that the money was doubled. The rest of the people cooperated and fanned the fire."

"Order!"

Everyone agreed in unison.

……

……

Xiaowang Village.

Four streaks of black smoke shot straight into the sky.

Now the whole village is filled with a faint smell of coal.

There is no way out, firing earthen kilns will cause some environmental pollution.

There is no solution at present, but the kiln can only be moved to the mountains in the future, farther away from Xiaowang Village.

To be honest, the development speed of Xiaowang Village far exceeded Han Zhen's expectation.

The defection of the villagers of Xiaodong Village seems to have opened a floodgate.

In the next few days, fleeing households and villagers from other villages continued to seek refuge.

Before I knew it, the population of Xiaowang Village was close to [-].

The halfway up the mountain that was originally empty, now there are simple thatched huts.

The barren fields in the village have been distributed long ago, and each household is only given a bucket of rice.

Fortunately, the villagers who came here didn't care, because Xiaowang Village had many ways to make money.

Cultivate wasteland, recruit workers, join the army, or do odd jobs.

The first batch of soldiers were finally willing to spend money, and new houses were built one by one, and they were all brick and tile houses.

In the past, if a family in the village built a house, the neighbors would help.

No money, if the host family manages a meal, they will praise the host family for their righteousness.

After all, everyone was poor at that time, and they really couldn't afford wages.

But it's different now, if you don't pay wages, who the hell will help you build a house.

Time is precious, everyone is busy making money!
In addition, you can also take on some jobs in the army, such as making bamboo armor.

Anyway, as long as you are not lazy and willing to work hard, you will never starve to death in Xiaowang Village.

If you want to say that the most lively place in Xiaowang Village today is the market at the entrance of the village.

However, to Han Zhen's surprise, just after he opened the three shops, a fourth shop appeared in the market soon.

The owner of the shop is Chen Carpenter, who mainly sells furniture.

It can only be said that commercial development is an inevitable product of human society.

Just provide a platform, even without guidance, and smart people will naturally flood in.

……

That night.

On the barracks, Han Zhen taught the soldiers as usual.

In just five days, the number of soldiers has expanded to 340.

This is Han Zhen's intention to control the number, and only pick those young men who are courageous and have relatively good physical fitness, otherwise the number will be even greater.

The reason is simple, soldiers are treated very well.

Three dry meals a day and one meat meal every three days.

In order to eat meat, they almost caught all the beasts in the three nearby mountains.

"This word is pronounced as 'wen', a penny worth two pennies..."

While teaching, there was a burst of shouting from the cottage: "Open the door quickly, I have something important to report!"

Han Zhen's eyes froze, and the chalk in his hand broke in two.

The next moment, the gate of the village was opened, and a young man ran in panting.

This person is Qiu Niu. A few days ago, Han Zhen summoned someone to pick him up from Songshan Ridge. Currently, he is a spy in the army, responsible for inquiring about the county and the surrounding villages and towns.

Ever since he learned that Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty was collecting personal money from all over the country, he knew in his heart that there would be no peace in the near future, so he made preparations in advance.

All the way to Han Zhen, Qiu Niu gasped and said: "Village chief, the villagers of Mei Village rebelled. They killed Ge Yuanwai and called themselves the Scarf Army."

Whoa!
There was an uproar among the soldiers.

Although Han Zhen also killed the official and occupied Xiaowang Village, he did not raise the flag of rebellion, and blatantly said that he would rebel.

There is an essential difference between the two.

If you don't raise the flag of rebellion, you are at most a bandit. Even if you are caught by the government, it is also a capital crime.

But the problem is that local officials generally don't pay attention to the bandits. Even if the bandits are suppressed, they will recruit some archers and patrols.

Just like Song Jiang, the government initially regarded him as a rogue.

Therefore, even if Song Jiang led thousands of people across several states, no army was dispatched. When Zhang Shuye suppressed Song Jiang, he led only local soldiers and archers.

But the rebellion is different. The state government will dispatch troops to suppress it immediately.

Han Zhen asked: "Who is the leader?"

If no one took the lead and raised their arms and shouted, the villagers would run up the mountain at most, and they would never dare to kill the landlords and wealthy households to rebel.

Qiu Niu replied: "I don't know it, I only heard that it is called Sun Dasheng."

Sun Dasheng?
Han Zhen looked a little weird, and then asked, "Where did they go when you came back?"

"It seems to be going in the direction of Shikou Village!"

Qiu Niu wasn't too sure, it was too dark, and he didn't dare to get close.

Patting him on the shoulder, Han Zhen ordered: "You rush to the county seat now, and if there is any change, come back and report immediately."

"Order!"

Qiu Niu nodded, and quickly walked out of the cottage.

Others may not know it, but Han Zhen knows very well how quickly the snowball will snowball once an uprising breaks out.

Once a certain village revolts, it only needs to find a few more villages and kill a few landlords, and thousands of peasants can be captured immediately.

If more fleeing households are absorbed, there will be tens of thousands of people, enough to attack the county seat.

When is the best time to attack the county seat?
Naturally right now.

Taking advantage of the darkness, catch him by surprise.

Is it possible to wait until dawn tomorrow before swaggering to attack the city?

Watching him leave, Han Zhen shouted loudly: "Nie Dong!"

"I am humble!"

Nie Dong took a step forward, clasped his hands together, and performed a standard military salute.

Now that Wei Da's injury has not recovered, Nie Dong is temporarily acting as the battalion commander, and he is in charge of three capitals, namely Zhang He, Hu Zhong and Xiao Wu.

Zhang and three people each lead ten team leaders.

Each team leader manages twelve soldiers respectively.

Han Zhen ordered: "The whole army, the whole army is on alert, ready to meet the enemy at any time!"

"Order!"

Under the practice of Nie Dong and the Western Army during this period of time, the soldiers have already looked good, and they are no longer rushing around with simple knives like before.

Shield soldiers, sword soldiers, spearmen, and archers each perform their duties and advance and retreat in a certain way.

The fly in the ointment is that the equipment can't keep up.

There is really no way, there is only one blacksmith who can make weapons in the whole Xiaowang Village, even if he does not eat or drink, he cannot supply more than 300 people with weapons in such a short period of time.

The shield is relatively easy to make, and a carpenter can do it. Find a few thick planks of hardwood and splice them together, and put a layer of iron on the front, that's it!

It can block ordinary knives and arrows, which is enough for the time being.

There was nothing to do with long spears. Blacksmith Yuan rushed to work day and night, and now he has only produced more than ten long spears.The rest can only be replaced by bamboo poles. A bamboo pole more than ten feet long and with a sharpened front end can be used adequately.

At first, Han Zhen was puzzled, thinking that this bamboo pole could stab someone?
After Nie Dong's explanation, he realized that the role of the spearmen in the battle formation is not mainly to kill, but mainly to interfere, supplemented by making up swords.

The real main force to kill the enemy is the swordsmen with long knives in the formation!
No wonder the branches at the front end of the bamboo pole are specially reserved.

As for the archers' bows and arrows, they were easier to get. Han Zhen directly paid Zhu Ji to help them buy them.

The government of the Northern Song Dynasty could not ban bows and arrows, but it banned crossbows, especially strong crossbows.

Crossbows, armour, and spears are expressly prohibited.

Because the spears of the Northern Song Dynasty had armor-piercing edges, they were also prohibited.

As for other weapons, the government basically turned a blind eye. If the subordinates were short of money, they would use this excuse to extort some money to spend.

As for large ordnance such as ballistas and catapults, folk blacksmiths cannot make them.

Soon, more than 300 soldiers were fully armed.

At present, there are only more than 100 sets of bamboo armor, and they are given priority to the sword soldiers. After all, they are the main force to kill the enemy, and they also have the highest casualties in the army.

It is very likely to meet the enemy tonight, but none of the soldiers are afraid, but all of them are extremely excited.

There are military merits in war, and there are rewards for military merits!
As for the recruits, hearing Zhang He and others bragging about dozens of rewards every day, their envious eyes turned red.

Now that the opportunity has finally come, how can you not be excited.

……

……

Upper East Village.

Sun Zhi stood on the high platform built of tables, and chopped off the bearded member's head with one knife.

Bright red blood gushed out from the broken neck immediately and splashed onto the faces of the villagers below.

At this moment, instead of being frightened and frightened, the villagers wrapped in cloth scarves let out roars like wild beasts.

This group of honest people who were bullied to the limit on weekdays showed an extremely crazy side after they broke out completely.

Sun Zhi raised his head high, raised his arms and shouted: "Open warehouses, distribute grain, and distribute money!"

If there is no need for extra words, under the stimulation of money and food, the originally cowardly villagers turned into wild beasts one by one.

Taking advantage of the time to release food and distribute money, Sun Zhi waved to the green kite and said in a low voice, "How many people are there now?"

"There are already more than 6000 people!"

The green kite answered, and asked, "Sir, are you going to the next village?"

After a little calculation in his mind, Sun Zhi shook his head and said, "No need, more than 6000 people are enough."

There are more than 6000 people, excluding the old and weak, women and children, and about [-] young and strong.

Called one of his subordinates and ordered: "Later, you will take ten brothers and one thousand young men to Xiaowang Village and kill that Han Er."

"Yes!"

The subordinate responded.

When the money and food were distributed, Sun Zhi waved his hand: "Folks, follow me to the county town and kill that dog official!"

"Dog Killer!"

"Dog Killer!"

If you say who do these villagers hate the most?

It should be a subordinate official of the county government!
