Vow to die at the end of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 41 Homecoming
When Chen Chen led the execution of the fleeing members of the agricultural guards, Li Taiping encountered a crisis.

Because Li Taiping's hometown is Tongbai County, Nanyang Prefecture, when the three armies entered Henan Province separately, Li Taiping decided to go all the way to the northwest, preparing to fight back to his hometown.

When Li Taiping saw Baishan from afar, he was very excited.When he was a child, he went hunting with his father in Baishan, and Baishan left his childhood memories.

When he returned to his hometown this time, Li Taiping also had the idea of ​​returning home.What surprised him was that the people in his hometown didn't seem to welcome him.

"Second uncle, we are the security team, protecting the environment and the people. We are here to rescue you from the claws of the Tartars, and lead you to fight against the Tartars! Why do you still want to sue us?" Li Taiping Said with a distressed expression.

Opposite him is an old man with gray braids, and his face is three points similar to Li Taiping.In fact, the old man is not very old, he is only 50 years old, but in this era, 50 years old can already call himself an old man.Moreover, the lack of nutrition and hard work also make the old man age prematurely.

"Of course I'm going to the court to expose you. You are a gang of thieves trying to rebel against the court. I, Li Sanbao, will sever ties with your grandson today!" The old man's hair was about to stand on end in anger.Of course, he had to have hair too.

Hearing the old man's words, Li Taiping was very sad.The old man is his grandfather's brother, according to his seniority, he is his cousin.When he was young, his father passed away early, and he grew up with his grandparents.Tang Ye's wife fell ill and died early when she was young, leaving no children.Because the family was too poor, the cousin never got married in his life.Therefore, Tang Ye treated Li Taiping as his own grandson.Last year when the Tartars went south, my cousin was getting old, so he didn't go anywhere and was prepared to wait for his death at home.After hearing that the Tartars were killing people like hemp, he let himself take all the rations in the family and flee southward, which can be said to be a mountain of kindness to Li Taiping.

This time, Li Taiping brought the team back to his hometown, the most important thing was to let Tang Ye see that he was already promising, and he was considered a leader.

However, Tang Ye's words made Li Taiping feel as if he had been splashed with cold water.

"Second Lord, the imperial court you speak of is the Tartars! They are not our Han people, we are going to retake the Han people's world!" Li Taiping said earnestly.

"What Han people are not Han people? As long as it is the imperial court, they have to pay food and taxes! What is the difference between Han people and Han people? Now the imperial court is powerful and powerful. The former Ming Dynasty could not defeat the imperial court, and it has perished. We are in the new dynasty. Farming honestly, isn’t it good!”

"I said, Gouwa, don't hang out in the bandit's lair of the Laoshizi Security Group. Farm the land early to save money and marry a serious wife! The court is so powerful, you bandits can't beat the court. When will this bandit fight?" I have passed the imperial court! The hero of Liangshan is also called for peace!"

"It turns out that in the eyes of the second uncle, the security group I belong to is a bandit organization!" Li Taiping smiled bitterly in his heart.In fact, what Li Sanbao said was right. In the eyes of the Tartars, forces like the Security Corps were nothing more than bandits.Unless they can support a former Ming royal family, then they can change from bandits to former Ming rebels.

Since the second uncle could not be persuaded for a while, Li Taiping settled down in this small mountain village next to Baishan Mountain.Because of more than ten years of war, and the torrent when the bandits besieged Kaifeng a few years ago, plus the southward movement of the Tartars, the ground in Henan can be regarded as empty.This Baishan is on the border of Henan and Hubei, so it is better.But just like this, there are still many empty houses in the village. Although they are all adobe houses and seem to be crumbling, they can still be used for temporary living.

However, what Li Taiping never expected was that someone from the village went to the county town overnight to make a secret report, telling the Tartars all about the reason for the Fourth Brigade and its strength.

The county magistrate was shocked to learn that there was a group of bandits with hundreds of people entrenched more than ten miles away.Regardless of the fact that it was still the New Year's Eve, he hurriedly called the county magistrates, pawns and other subordinate officials to discuss.In the end, I got a result, that is, this group of bandits must be wiped out, otherwise Tongbai County will be in danger.However, Tongbai is only a small county town, and there are only 100 yamen servants, office workers, grooms, watchmen, etc., including cooks.Moreover, the most important thing is that there is no green battalion stationed here.Because of the aftermath of the rebellion against the shaving and obedience order some time ago, some people in Biyang County, not far from Tongbai County, rebelled, so the green battalion stationed in Tongbai was transferred there, and has not returned until now.This made Zhixian want to suppress the bandits, but he had no strength.

At this time, a man who looked like a teacher suddenly folded the fan he was shaking in his hand.This is not because he suddenly found out that the winter was too cold, so he gave up this extremely mentally retarded behavior.Instead, he suddenly thought of something, and then patted his bare forehead with the folded fan.

"Dong Weng, this subordinate has a good plan! I don't know if Dong Weng still remembers that Xiao Shanhu from Dafu Mountain sent someone over half a month ago, saying that he wanted to take refuge in the imperial court? This time, it's better to let Xiao Shanhu get a nomination certificate. It’s better to be the thieves who occupy Chushan Town! Anyway, there are bandits and thieves on both sides, so it’s just a fight to the death!”

As he spoke, a wicked smile appeared on the corner of the master's mouth, and he tapped his left palm lightly with a fan in his back hand, looking calm and composed.

"A brilliant plan, a brilliant plan! You really deserve to be my little Zhuge! You, Mei Renxin, should be the first to destroy the bandits!"
