Horse on the World

Chapter 153 Rebellion
How to do?
After the passion, the crowd returned to calmness, and the frenzy just now returned to fear. The long-standing fear of the government and the gentlemen, and the crying sound from the crowd, made people even more depressed.

Xiong Dewu stood up, clasped his fists and bowed to the surroundings one by one, "Xiong, thank you folks, but if one person does something, one person is responsible, and I will surrender myself. I did everything here alone, and it has nothing to do with the big guys. It's just This boy of my family has to ask everyone to take care of him." Of course, this trip is life-or-death, Xiong Dewu had to make arrangements for his son.

"Brother Xiong, are you a fool for being a government official, or do you really think you are unstoppable? There are dozens of officers and soldiers lying here! Who would believe you if you said you did it alone! Once you go, It's like falling into a trap, and the big guys still can't get away with it!" A voice sounded from the crowd.

"Yes, well said!"

"That makes sense, Xiongtou, you need to reconsider this matter!"

The crowd chattered.

"Or, let's run away! Let the officers and soldiers not find us!" One person suggested.

"How is this possible?" Someone immediately retorted, "We are here to take care of the family and take care of the old and the young. How many of them have overnight food, where can we escape? And every county has checkpoints at every intersection. It is to prevent salt workers like us from fleeing.”

"Then what do you think we should do?" Someone said angrily, "It's impossible to run away, so why don't we just wait here and let the officers and soldiers catch us?"

"There is a way, I wonder if you dare?" The voice that refuted Xiong Dewu earlier sounded again.

"Brother, please come out and speak. If there is anything you can do, please tell the big guy. Now we have lost all our strength!" Xiong Dewu clasped his fists and said.

A man jumped out from the crowd. He was dressed like a salt worker, but he was much stronger than them, and his complexion was smoother. It was obvious that he had not been here for a long time.

"It's him!"

"It was him!"

"Luo Yugang, hasn't he just arrived? What can he do?"

There were murmurs of discussion in the crowd. Just now, this person was extremely brave in the process of killing officers and soldiers. No less than five officers and soldiers died in his hands. Looking at the way he attacked, he knew that he was a practicing family.

"Fathers and folks!" Luo Yugang said loudly: "I, Luo, have been here not long ago, less than two months, but I can't bear to look at everything here, not to mention that I usually don't have enough food and clothing. After the catastrophe, the government didn’t even ask, not only left us to fend for ourselves, but also asked us to dry salt and earn money for them on an empty stomach. If things go on like this, everyone will either starve to death or die from exhaustion. If you don’t guarantee it or say it, you will also implicate your family.”

"Stop talking nonsense, just tell me what to do?" Someone in the crowd said impatiently.

"What should we do?" Luo Yugang laughed: "Since the government treats us as human beings, we'll turn the other way, and we'll do it for ourselves in the future!"

As soon as Luo Yugang said this, there was a dead silence all around, rebellion, this is a crime that will kill the nine clans.

"Luo Yugang, do you want to send everyone to death?"

Luo Yugang sneered, pointing to Kong Qingdong and a group of soldiers lying on the ground, "Everyone, everyone, what are we doing now? If we kill these dog officials, it is already a rebellion. Is it possible that everyone thinks that the government will be a mirror? Is it? Now we have to do it if we do it, and we have to do it if we don’t do it. Otherwise, everyone, go home and wash your neck, and wait for the government to cut it! I, Luo Yugang, am not the type to be slaughtered." Stretching out his hand from the ground He picked up a long gun, held it up high, and shouted loudly: "If you go against it, maybe there is still a way to survive, but if you don't go against it, you will be dead. Let's figure it out!"

Xiong Dewu lowered his head and pondered for a moment, walked up to Luo Yugang, picked up a long spear, and shouted: "Damn it, I've turned my back on you!" His scrawny son followed, holding up a much longer long spear with both hands.

There was a commotion in the crowd, and gradually, more and more people came out and gathered in front of the two of them, "Folks, let's go, go to the salt field and kill the remaining dog officials." Luo Yugang yelled, thousands of The young and strong roared and rushed to the official office of the Baykou Salt Works.

On that day, there was chaos in the Wankou saltworks, and all the government personnel stationed here were wiped out.

At night, at the former Wankou Salt Works Office, Kong Qingdong's yamen, several leaders of the salt workers gathered together and killed the official.The population of the Wankou Salt Field is tens of thousands, and there are nearly [-] strong salt workers, but now they only have a few hundred spears and sabers in their hands. Where is the way out?Everyone looked at Luo Yugang.

"Big brothers!" Luo Yugang stood up, "We can't run if we want to, let alone the lack of food, even the family members of the big guys can't run with us, we can only stay here and fight with the officers and soldiers It's up to you."

"It's easy for you to say!" A salt worker leader yelled, "It takes half a day to ride a horse from our place to Hailing. Although we have killed all the dog officials here, there are still many salt merchants. If you run away, Hailing will know what's going on here in a few days, and when the officers and soldiers come, how can we resist?"

"That's right, we can't just wait for death. We took advantage of Hailing's unpreparedness and killed him. If we copy Hailing, we will have weapons and food!" Xiong Wude said loudly.

"Everyone, please be safe!" Luo Yugang said: "Everyone listen to me, Hailing is the county seat. If we go there, if we can take down the county seat in one go, it's okay, but if we can't, Hailing will be there There is a battalion of officers and soldiers, and there are naval garrisons. If we can’t fight it, we will be wiped out. We don’t regret our death, but what about our family?”

Everyone was silent.

"What do you think we should do?" Xiong Dewu asked: "Traveling here is also death, and attacking the county is also death. Is there no way for us to survive if we can only die?"

Luo Yugang said loudly: "Brothers, do you believe me?"

"At this time, what are you talking about? Believe it or not, Brother Luo, we are already grasshoppers on the same line. If you have anything to pay attention to, just say it. This is tens of thousands of lives!"

Luo Yugang nodded, "Brothers to tell you the truth, Mr. Luo used to do business for no money. He just quit after begging his wife."

Everyone couldn't help but suddenly, seeing Luo Yugang's sharpness when he killed the officers and soldiers, they called out simply.I usually tremble when I hear this kind of people, but now my family is even worse than bandits, and they are already rebels.

"Luo's former eldest brother, Yi Bo Yuntian, was also born as a mud-legged poor ghost. His favorite thing is to rob the rich and help the poor. He has thousands of elite soldiers under his command. He is strong and strong. Give me a day or two, and I will find him. Brother, ask him to bring someone here and lead us to do it."

"Who is your elder brother?"

"My elder brother, Jianghu, is known as a cloud for a long time." Luo Yugang raised his head proudly. "As long as you give me a maximum of two days, I can find my elder brother."

"Okay!" Xiong Dewu said loudly: "Anyway, it's what it is now. If you don't do it, you will die. If we do it, in two days, can you really find reinforcements?"

"Of course!" Luo Yugang patted his chest and said, "Just don't be idle these two days, Kong Qingdong's family has a lot of food these days, let's divide him up first, so that everyone is full, and then Cut bamboo into guns, build earth into walls, and get ready for battle, presumably in two to three days, those dog officers and soldiers will come, we have to be ready."

"Okay, we'll take care of these things, don't worry, go find reinforcements!"

The Wankou Salt Field has finally seen cooking smoke for several days, but no matter how old or young, even though they are full, there is no trace of joy on their faces. The uncertain future makes them uneasy. Under the arrangement of Xiong Dewu and others, both young and old will gather Going into battle, cutting bamboo into guns, building soil into walls, and working hard day and night.The combined strength of 6 or [-] people is enormous. After a day and a night, at the mouth of the bay, a simple version of the city wall was miraculously erected.

Hailing, magistrate's yamen, Qin Zuhai looked at the disheveled clothes and blood-stained salt merchants in front of him, his scalp was about to explode, "What are you talking about? The salt workers in Wankou rebelled? How is it possible? Where is Kong Qingdong? Where are the soldiers guarding there? ?”

"My lord, Master Kong was killed by those mud legs, and all the soldiers were also killed." The salt merchant cried.

Qin Zuhai's eyes turned black. Wankou is one of the three major salt fields in Fuzhou. There was a problem there, and Commander Xiang chopped off his head and kicked it as a ball.Damn it, why the salt workers rebelled, Qin Zuhai also guessed a thing or two, absolutely should not, should not be greedy for the little money and food that the salt workers pay for, this is a disaster, if the superiors know about these salt workers What rebellion was it for? I could even imagine my fate even with my eyes closed.

"Hurry up, hurry up and invite General Yuan Cheng Yuan, by the way, and Deputy General Deng, please come, all come to the county government office!" Qin Zuhai shouted out of composure.It is the best policy to quickly put out these muddy legs and block all news before things get serious. Thinking of how much money it will cost to stop some people's mouths, Qin Zuhai only felt a burning pain in his chest. If you can't make ends meet, you will definitely lose a lot this time.

Hailing, in a mountain forest not far from the Wankou Salt Field, Guoshanfeng is lying on the ground bored, chewing grass roots, but reminiscing about some of the feelings of being a bandit in his mind. He is free and easy, but it is also precarious. The work where the head is tied to the belt of the trousers can be compared with the present.But it seems that now he is going to pretend to be a bandit again.

"Lieutenant Guo, Captain Guo!" A soldier came panting.

"What captain, call me the boss!" Guo Shanfeng sat up abruptly, "If you call me wrong again, I'll have someone cut your eggs and feed them to the dogs."

"Yes, yes, the head of the family, Captain Luo is back!"

Guo Shanfeng suddenly jumped up, "Really, bring him here quickly, grandma, let me wait this time. Smoke is coming out of the buttocks, tell the big guys, get ready, we are leaving."
