Chapter 144 Is this a recruitment order?My dear Song Xiance

A general called a military officer took the lead in announcing the various bad things done by Huang Shiren and others in the Huang family.

Such as forcing the poor people to destroy their families, beating the slaves to death, joining forces with evil officials to plot people's property, etc.

After briefly reading out the charges against the Huang family, the military officer loudly said: "When our rebel army was investigating the crimes of these evil gentry and bullies, we notified the families of the victims and invited them to participate in today's public trial.

Now let’s ask them to come out and tell us what specific things these evil people have done that are outrageous and resentful! "

When the military and political officer finished speaking, an old woman in shabby clothes and carrying a vegetable basket squeezed out of the crowd and came to the wooden platform.

This wooden platform is only one foot high, so when the old woman stands under the platform and faces Huang Shiren and others kneeling beside the platform, she does not feel like she is looking up to her. Instead, she feels condescending.

She pointed at a young man from the Huang family and said loudly in a hoarse and rough voice: "I want to talk about the second young master of the Huang family! He was hunting on horseback in the northwest suburbs. Just because he saw my son catching prey, he robbed the prey and also sent My son's leg is lame!
My boss went to his family to argue, but he was beaten up. He coughed up blood and died shortly after returning!

I went to the Yamen to file a complaint, but they colluded with the evil officials in the execution room and accused my head of the household of stealing things from his house, taking away several acres of my farmland!
He also threatened my family, saying that if he complained again, he would beat my son to death too, ugh..."

At the end of the story, the old woman burst into tears and burst into tears.

Then he suddenly got up, went on stage, and hit the second young master of the Huang family on the head with a vegetable basket.

Although the second young master of the Huang family was young, his hands were tied behind his back and he was starved for nearly a day.

And at this time, he was so scared that he didn't dare to resist at all, so he just let the old woman smash him.

Although the bamboo basket was not much of a weapon, the burrs on it scratched Mr. Huang's scalp and face, causing severe pain.

For a moment, Second Young Master Huang screamed, his head and face covered with blood, which was quite frightening.

It wasn't until the old lady collapsed from exhaustion that she was helped down by two rebel soldiers.

Then another young man came forward and told that the third master of the Huang family forced his sister to become a concubine by borrowing money.

As a result, his sister fell into a well and died two days after getting married, without even an explanation.

After saying that, the young man went up and punched Grandpa Huang San a few times.

In this way, with the trial of the rebels, one by one the common people stood up and described the bad things done by these evil gentry and bullies.

After everyone finished speaking, they cried and punched and kicked these evil gentry and bullies.

As long as the people who came to power did not bring deadly weapons such as knives and sticks, the rebels would let them beat these evil gentry and bullies.

When the people watching recounted the experiences of those who were oppressed, many recalled similar experiences.Therefore, when the family members of the victims beat up the evil gentry and bullies, they all shouted with joy.

If they weren't stopped by a group of rebels, many unrelated people would even rush forward and fight together.

Just like that, in less than half an hour, several men from evil gentry and bully families were beaten to death on the spot.

"Good fight!"

"Kill these scum!"

"Evil gentry and bullies should be killed!"

"···"

Zhang Jian was among the crowd, listening to the happy shouts of the people around him releasing their hatred, and then looking at the wealthy men on the stage who were beaten to death one by one, he felt that the hairs all over his body stood up, his mouth was dry, and his hands and feet were cold.

He did not expect that when the hatred of the poor people towards the rich was released, it would be so terrifying.

It makes people's scalp numb just looking at it.

Then he couldn't help but think of home.

Fortunately, although his family is a big businessman, they can only be considered a middle-class family in Kaifeng City because they have not produced a successor for several generations.

He also aimed at making money by being harmonious, and was worried about being caught and blackmailed by officials. He never committed any crime, and he never took human life lightly.

At most, they just occasionally raise the price of goods, lower the purchase price, and make a little extra profit.

Thinking of this, Zhang Jian breathed a sigh of relief and barely got rid of the fear of becoming the person being judged on the stage in the future.

He continued to watch.

But when the trial ended, the surviving men of wealthy families were also hanged, chopped in half or beheaded by the rebels.

I just feel that the actions of the rebels are too hasty, and the punishment is too harsh, and they may kill innocent people in vain.

In fact, the rebels did not bring those people from wealthy families who did not deserve to die to trial.

On the other hand, anyone who is sent to the trial stand deserves to be killed based on conclusive evidence.

Zhang Jian didn't know this, so he felt more fear of the rebels in his heart.

So, after the trial was over, he quickly left with the crowd, fearing that he would be caught by the rebels under suspicion and tortured to reveal the identity of the government spy.

Not far from Xicaishikou, when Zhang Jian arrived at the intersection of two main streets, he saw a lot of people gathered around him again.

A closer look revealed that the rebels had posted something where the government had previously posted notices.

Several volunteers were there to read and explain.

Zhang Jian hurried over to find out.

"Recruitment order?"

Zhang Jian looked slightly stunned.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao issued the "Order for Seeking Talents". In troubled times, heroes who aspired to the world would publish similar articles.

But after listening to the reading by the rebel soldiers and looking carefully at the content above, Zhang Jian found that this "Order for Recruiting Talents" was a little different from the previous ones.

First of all, the articles on the list were all written in vernacular. After the rebel soldiers read it, they did not need to explain anything, and the common people who could not read a single Chinese character could understand it.

Secondly, Cao Cao's "Order for Seeking Talents" focuses on "approving talents only", regardless of moral character or origin, but in fact, talents are still sought from scholars.

Those who issued orders seeking talents in the past dynasties also sought talents from scholars.But the rebel army's recruitment order not only recruited scholars, but also recruited craftsmen, old farmers who were good at farming, herders who were good at raising livestock, etc.

To sum it up, as long as you have a certain skill, you can join the rebel army and get appointed!
'Is this a recruitment order?It's obviously a recruitment order, right? '

After reading it, Zhang Jian couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

I just feel that the haze left in my heart by the previous public trial has dissipated a lot.

Because through this "Recruitment Order", we can know that the rebel army is now extremely short of talents and has reached the point where they are hungry and have no choice but to eat.

This shows that although this group of rebels behaves with the magnanimity of a true rebel army, they are still far from being recognized by the world's sages and have not yet become a phenomenon.

Shaking his head, Zhang Jian was ready to go elsewhere to find out more information about Thief Liu.

As he was squeezing out, a thin middle-aged man dressed as a fortune teller was squeezing in, shouting to give way.

Zhang Jian suddenly frowned when he met this man.

The fortune teller was like a loach, and he quickly squeezed past him and entered.

When Zhang Jian squeezed out of the crowd, he heard the fortune teller's sharp voice -

"I'm just here to recruit talented people! Take me to your leader quickly, I have a clever plan to offer!"

Hearing this, Zhang Jian felt even more funny.

Even a fortune-teller who travels around the world is attracted by this recruitment order. We know who Liu Thief will find with this recruitment order.

'This Liu thief is indeed more difficult to deal with than ordinary bandits and rebels, but he is still far from threatening the rule of the imperial court. '

With this thought in his mind, Zhang Jian straightened out his wrinkled clothes and left...

The rebel captain who was responsible for posting the recruitment order looked at the fortune teller in front of him and frowned.

This man doesn't have any air of immortality at all. He looks like a charlatan at first glance.

Then he said: "Our leader has a lot of things to do every day, so you can meet him whenever you want? If you really want to recruit wise men to join the rebel army, just go aside and sign up, and our rebel army will take care of it."

This captain is a good student in the cultural class in the military literacy class. He has been favored by the military and political officials above. He will be promoted to the military and political class for further study. In the future, he will become a sentry-level military and political officer by passing the graduation examination.

However, it was precisely because of his culture that he resented such charlatans.

I just thought that this person was the first person to be recruited here, so I patiently guided him, otherwise he would have been kicked out long ago.

The fortune teller was very ignorant. He raised his head slightly and said in a pretentious manner: "I can only tell you this wonderful plan in front of your leader. Ordinary people will not know what it is after hearing it."

Because he is thin and even a little ugly, he looks very funny.

Several soldiers nearby almost couldn't hold back their laughter, but because of their good training, they held it back.

But the people who were watching couldn't help it, and many of them burst out laughing.

Someone among them actually knew this fortune teller and said with a smile: "Song Chaos, do you have a clever plan? Do you tell fortunes? But you are not accurate in [-] out of [-] predictions, so don't embarrass yourself in front of the leader of the rebel army."

This fortune teller was Song Kangnian who had identified the rebels and devoted himself to them.

When he heard this, he became angry and shouted to the crowd: "Who? What nonsense are you talking about? My old Song Dynasty's strategy is not fortune telling, but a plan for the world. Why can't I see the leader of the rebel army?"

And you, since you were ordered to recruit talents, if you miss out on a great talent like me, the boss will definitely punish you if he finds out! "

The last sentence was said to the rebel captain.

After hearing this, the captain really didn't dare to chase Song Kangnian away, so he had to ask him to wait aside. When he finished his work, he asked his superiors to take him to see the leader.

This time it was noon.

Song Kangnian was taken to have a meal in the military camp, and then he was sent up one level to An Jun, the military and political officer of the first regiment.

It stands to reason that An Jun is one of Liu Sheng's earliest students and should not be easily fooled by fortune tellers.

But who made Liu Sheng himself known as a "reincarnated immortal" and a "true disciple"?
Coupled with the evidence of "dongfu" and "supernatural powers", Song Kangnian was more capable, and An Jun was doubtful about his "talent".

He happened to have to report to Prince Chong's Mansion in the afternoon, so he took Song Kangnian with him.

When Liu Sheng saw that An Jun had brought a fortune teller, he was speechless. After glaring at An Jun, he asked him to step aside.

Then he looked at Song Kangnian and asked with a smile: "Excuse me, what is your name?"

"I, Song Xiance."

Before in the rebel camp, he had given this pseudonym that had just been released not long ago, instead of his real name.

It's not that he doesn't like the rebels, but he's worried that his real name will be leaked and his relatives in his hometown will be implicated.

Bandits such as Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong all changed their names or used nicknames after the rebellion, which was probably for this reason.

Song Xiance?
Liu Sheng couldn't help but look at the person in front of him in surprise when he heard this.

As someone who has read a lot of online novels about the late Ming Dynasty, he has certainly heard of Song Xiance - one of Li Zicheng's four great military advisors.

'I met the Red Lady before, and now I meet Song Xiance. Could it be that I took Li Zicheng's script? '

'But this Song Xiance seems to be just a fortune teller. He doesn't have any great talent. At most, he can provide some unreliable tips. '

"Among Li Zicheng's four great strategists, there is only one great talent, Li Yan, but I don't know if he really exists.It would be better if this person was sent to me. '

Surprised, Liu Sheng couldn't help but think about it for a while.

When he came back to his senses, he saw Song Xiance looking at him secretly, so he smiled and asked, "I wonder what Mr. Song can teach me?"

　Second more.

　　Good night~
