Begging in late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 209

A large scroll of kraft paper was spread out on the school grounds, and at the other end, with pens and ink, landlords and gentry signed their names on the rice paper mounted on the kraft paper, and some even stamped their seals.

Receiving grain is a one-shot deal. Landlords with empty granaries will definitely hate the beggar army. Song Qingshu still wants to take root in Dai County, but they can't be pushed too fast. Sustainable development , It is a truth just now that the water flows slowly.

Not asking for food does not mean that Song Qingshu let them go. Each of these landlords and gentry had to guarantee the autumn harvest to pay a tenth of the harvest to the begging army. At the same time, everyone had to sign a kraft paper scroll to pledge support His rule will never oppose the beggar army again!
After all the hard work, a kraft paper scroll of landscape painting has been densely signed by more than [-] names. This Song Qingshu can be regarded as kindness, and let them go to help the son of the landlord who has been beaten and bruised to go home. He also released all the other minzhuang.

It was really a sigh of relief. Many landlords and old rich men's backs were wet with sweat, and their sons, elder nephews, and elder nephews who were crying for father and mother hurried back, but at this time, the kraft paper The paper on the scroll, which promised not to fight against the beggar army, suddenly fell off, and the squire who was close behind looked at the things behind the paper, and his face turned green.

It was a letter of support, covered by rice paper on the surface, and it was written that dozens of country gentry in Dai County were willing to support Hu Dadian, the county magistrate of Dai County, as Dai Wang!The rule of the Ming Dynasty is no longer recognized.

Watching a movie before crossing, the villain will make a collective signature against the book. Once the signature is discovered by the court, the whole family will die, so no one dares to turn against the water. Song Qingshu used this trick. What about the effect?Seeing the pale faces of these country gentry and the expression of wishing they could come over and tear up the scroll immediately, Song Qingshu felt that it was quite useful.

In the short term, I'm not afraid that these gentry and landlords from Daixian County will be stabbed, and they will also deceive the county magistrate Hu Dadian by the way. If something goes wrong, if something goes wrong, hire an official to hand it over to the court, even if it doesn't confiscate the family and wipe out the family , A large group of people will also be unlucky. Let's investigate the eunuch's method of collecting money. It is estimated that the landlords in the entire Dai County will go bankrupt.

The problem of local people's hearts was temporarily resolved, and then the officers and soldiers were captured. Yanmen Pass supported Dai County with more than a thousand officers and soldiers, but these days Miao Mei was suppressed ruthlessly, killing almost 200 people in a fit of anger, not like a knife wound In recent years, it is basically impossible to save a bayonet stabbing in, so there are basically no wounded, plus more than [-] officers and soldiers who ran away, a garrison was almost completely wiped out by the beggar army.

Even the guerrilla general Qiu Ming led two thousand generals and more than 200 soldiers, all of whom were stringed together by ropes, squatting on the ground with their heads in their hands, just now seeing the villagers walking away with their village elders in a hehe Well, several soldiers took off their military uniforms and tried to fool around, but they were all shot back with the butts of their rifles by the guards.

Qiu Guerzilla is not as strong as Sun Chuanting, and he is not afraid of death. Seeing Song Qingshu deal with the landlords coming over, he immediately hugged his head sadly, humiliated his face with an ugly smile, and said in a sad low voice: "Shuai Qu, a good man, little boy!" If you don't know Taishan, you dare to offend Qu Shuai Huwei, the little one knows it's wrong, you are old, just treat the little one as a fart and let me go!"

Qiu Ming was so sad that he was about to die. He didn't have a good father. Two generations ago, his family was from Fujian. He made up for Shanxi where the Qing army arrived. His father and the Mongols worked hard to get this guerrilla position. There was no one on top. , I don’t have any money to send money, so I finally snatched this trip. I wanted to make some military merits, but I still encountered such a tricky idea. Now I’m even a prisoner of my own rank. Wrong God.

It's a pity that his low profile did not arouse any sympathy. Song Qingshu just looked at him with a sneer, turned around and whispered to Li Tiezhu, who was in charge of the guard here, and glanced at Qiu Ming in surprise. Li Tiezhu walked quickly He ran out, and while Qiu Ming was waiting in astonishment, a moment later, a pretty woman with a child appeared in front of him.

At the first glance, Qiu Ming almost fainted.

Yanmen Pass is not far from Dai County, and military officers are used to keeping their homes in Dai County. This woman is Qiu Ming's mistress, and the child is his eldest son. He has three mistresses like this, but he doesn't know if his ancestor killed too much. Yes, the four children are all daughters, and Song Qingshu found out just such a single seedling.

There are three kinds of unfilial piety, and having no descendants is the greatest!Seeing his woman hugging the child in fear, Qiu Ming knew that he had fallen. He was willing to go all out, and he didn't hold his head to pretend to be pitiful. He stood up directly, tilted his head, and looked at Song Qingshu like a hooligan Clenched fists.

"Qu Shuai, my surname is Qiu, I know it's a mistake. You always want me to do something, so just tell me!"

It's fun to do things with happy people, and you don't need to smudge like Hu Dadian to be like girls. At this time, Song Qingshu finally showed a smile, laughed and clapped his hands.

"Okay, have fun!"

"Actually Song has no other intentions. First, he wants to make friends with neighbors and friends like Qiu Guerrilla. Second, General Chen of Yanmen Pass is too old and too confused. Song feels that he can't protect the safety of the people in Dai County. Song I think, Qiu Gueran, you are the best candidate for the general!"

Hearing Song Qingshu's words, Qiu Ming was confused for a while, but immediately swallowed heavily, and weighed the pros and cons for a while, this time, he respectfully bowed to Song Qingshu.

"The little one is the only one who is handsome!"

Qiu Ming is definitely a smart man who can sneak into the upper reaches. He heard Song Qingshu's words and he wanted to settle in Dai County, but this is an outpost of Shanxi Town, one of the Nine Sides, which is equivalent to being under the nose of the officers and soldiers. The smell, people know they are here as soon as they inhale, and then there must be heavy encirclement and suppression.

Yanmenguan is the nose!Yanmen Pass was silent, Song Qingshu was in Dai County, hiding in Mount Wutai all his life and no one knew about it, so Song Qingshu needed to support someone of his own and used Yanmen Pass as a cover, so he chose Qiu Ming.

In Dai County, Hu Dadian, the county magistrate, was called a thief to raise an official, and this time he came to raise a thief to raise soldiers, one article and one military, which is considered complete.

Qiu Ming has no choice, if he refuses, his own head will be lost, but his own son will also lose his head, should he accept it?The coveted general, Song Qingshu can spend money to help him get the job done, and this defeat can even be prevaricated. The Yanmen Pass belongs to the imperial court, but his life is his own!As for whether the court can find out in the future, we will talk about it later.

The women and children were naturally kept as hostages. In order to show his loyalty, Qiu Ming dragged out a few eyes and ears of General Chen from the captives on the spot, stabbed the chief officer, Xiao Qi, with a knife on the spot, and let the blood out on the playground. Satisfied, Song Qingshu was not ambiguous, and directly ordered someone to take 1 taels of silver for him, and picked more than 300 capable peasant soldiers from his subordinates to change into official clothes. Among the soldiers, he chose a loyal one. Dang Shousu's guy was the leader and led these people into Qiu Ming's team.

In the end, they ordered people to go to the mountains to dig out the corpses of the officers and soldiers who had been killed, and chopped off more than 200 of them indistinctly. This was the first contribution to Qiu Ming. It is also a more mobile guerrilla army, so if you go back like this, you are not afraid that you will not be able to get past it.

After tossing around for a long time, this Qiu Ming was also guilty. He was afraid that some deserters would reveal the news, so he led his people back to Yanmen Pass overnight. While walking, he was thinking about how to make up nonsense and get away with it. However, this is his business .

After sending Qiu Ming away, Song Qingshu heaved a sigh of relief. If Qiu Ming didn't cooperate, he really didn't know what to do. If he brought money to bribe General Chen, God knows if the old man could accept the money and not do anything?

Now, everything that can be done has been done, whether it can be done or not, it can only depend on God's will!
After dealing with Qiu Ming's matter, Song Qingshu didn't plan to stay in this playground any longer. Although he temporarily settled down the gentry and gentry in the countryside of Dai County, he still needed to find out if there were any wealthy families in Dai County. , Those who should be flattered still need to be flattered, and those who cannot be guarded can only use ruthless hands to destroy the family.

"Restrain the team, no one is allowed to go out of the camp at will! Be ready to deal with the sudden attack of the official army at Yanmenguan!" He casually dropped an order with Li Tiezhu, and Song Qingshu waited for the soldiers and hurried back, intending to return to Dai County , but within a few steps, bursts of cursing suddenly came out.

"Stupid thief, let go of grandpa. If you have the ability to fight with grandpa for [-] rounds with real swords and guns, and hide and shoot people with guns and guns, what kind of man is he? Come on! Kill!"

"Who is this?"

Song Qingshu turned his head in astonishment, while Li Tiezhu showed a depressed face, and cupped his fists at Song Qingshu.

"Marshal Qu, have you forgotten? Last month when the officers and soldiers raided the Zijinliang camp, a second officer of the officers and soldiers waited for hundreds of cavalry to charge towards our army, causing the brothers to stab and kill more than 200 of them. The one who was also held down by us was that kid. At that time you always said that it was rare for this man to be so brave, so you didn’t kill him! He brought the captives here, because he was afraid that it would be unsafe to keep them in the mountains, so he brought them together.”

After glancing at him with an ugly face again, Li Tiezhu persuaded Song Qingshu helplessly: "Shuai Qu, this man is stubborn and extremely jealous of us. To be on the safe side, let's kill him!"

Now is the critical period for whether we can settle down, Song Qingshu nodded excitedly, just as he was about to utter a word of murder, the man ran away with his mouth full of swearing, and the swearing became more and more ugly, and Song Qingshu was annoyed , I don't want to kill him anymore.

"Let Lao Liu put a pair of big iron chains on him, and in a few days, the mountains will start to open up wasteland, so I will use him as a livestock. Damn, I really haven't received re-education from the poor and lower-middle peasants!"

Li Tiezhu had no objection to being able to throw this hot potato out, and immediately bowed his head in command.

"Follow orders!"

Taking a last look, Song Qingshu left the playground with a cold snort.
