Chapter 108 Annihilation

"Even if they are tied with a red cloth strip, you can't think that they are rebels."

After all, Lu Sheige didn't understand the current living environment. When he heard that the knife was tied with red cloth, he immediately thought that some families in Ye Pier would tie a red cloth strip on it to show good luck whenever something happened to a new guy.

This is just a local custom, why is it involved with the rebels?

"You kid don't understand."

Brother Zhang finally regained his composure, but his expression was still very ugly, "No one in the entire Huaicheng knows about this matter."

The rebel army stationed in Huaicheng was also called the Hongying Army by the locals.

The difference between the Hongying Army and other rebel armies is that their weapons, whether swords, guns or sticks, will be tied with a red cloth strip.

Chen Quan rebelled in Huaicheng, and in early May he married Zhou Yunmei, the eldest daughter of the Zhou family, a local wealthy family.

Zhou Yunmei changed the red cloth strips of the Hongying Army into a long triangle, and embroidered the sun, moon and stars on the three corners to show the difference.

"Use the sun, moon and stars to show the difference?"

Lu Sheige couldn't help but asked curiously, "Uncle Zhang, do you know what the difference is?"

"I don't know. The day before yesterday, Brother Lu and I went to Ding's Meat Shop to buy meat. Ding Da mentioned something. Ding Da was also listening to the customers who came to buy cooked food on the pier. We don't know about this, but what about Huaicheng?

People around me know it very well."

Lu Quan also nodded: "Yes, I was there when Brother Ding said it. But are you sure you read it correctly? Is it really the Hongying Army?"

Brother Zhang nodded with certainty: "It's absolutely correct. I saw it with my own eyes. There was a red strip of cloth tied to the kid's knife. One corner was embroidered with a crescent moon, and there were two other corners that I couldn't see clearly."

It's not that he didn't see it clearly, it's that Brother Zhang was afraid of being noticed by the other party, so he didn't dare to take a closer look.

"I heard that their ranks in the Hongying Army are based on the sun, moon and stars. If they can embroider the moon, even the lowest crescent moon, these people's status in the Hongying Army is not low."

Lu Quan's face also looked a little ugly. What he said was what Ding Da heard from the ship merchants.

The ship dealers talked about it vividly, and the ones at Ding University were also very impressive. When it came to Lu Quan, it was much simpler, but the general meaning was correct.

The sun, moon and stars as logos?

Does Japan mean that he is Chen Quan, the leader of the Hongying Army?

The moon represents the general, and then the identity of the general is set by the changes of the full moon and the crescent moon.

What about the star?

Probably one star, two stars... from low to high. The status of low-level soldiers is distinguished by the number of stars!

Lu Xiige couldn't help but smile slightly. Chen Quan married the eldest daughter of the Zhou family, a wealthy family in Huaicheng, just to get help from the wealthy family in Huaicheng.

This daughter of the Zhou family was indeed trained by a wealthy family.

I came up with a method of using the sun, moon and stars to distinguish leaders from generals and soldiers. It is very useful for the rough and tumble man!

The lower one climbs up, the more concerned they are about status.

Things that were once lacking will expand even more when their rights reach a certain level.

The strategist is good at planning, the brave is good at courage, the wise is good at hiding...

If they want to change their status, turn one star into two stars and three stars, and turn the crescent moon into a full moon, these people will definitely try their best to change their status.

I just don’t know if Chen Quan had a bad wife before and could take the position of leader of the rebel army. Chen Quan must be at least thirty or forty years old.

If Chen Quan’s first wife is not dead, then the daughter of the Zhou family that the matchmaker is marrying will be interesting!

From now on, forget it if Chen Quan's uprising fails, once Chen Quan really succeeds in his uprising.

Will Zhou's daughter be a queen or a concubine this time?

Lu Xiangge's thoughts spread out and traveled tens of thousands of miles.

But I heard Brother Zhang talking in my ears: "To test it, I deliberately asked for two hundred cents for each backpack. In the end, the boy actually took out a tael of silver and bought two small backpacks and two eel cages.

I didn’t even ask for the change.”

Two hundred coins, that's enough for his family to eat several meals.

Brother Zhang didn't expect it to actually be sold. You should know that on weekdays, an ordinary large backpack only costs sixty-seven cents a piece. This exquisitely dyed small backpack only costs fifteen cents a piece at most.

He opened his mouth loudly and yelled two hundred Wen. At that time, his heart was full of excitement. He was afraid that the other party would fall out, so he chopped him off with a knife.

Lu Xiangge retracted his thoughts and raised his own question: "Since they are the Hongying Army, they must have been born in poverty. How can they be willing to spend two hundred coins to buy a backpack?"

Moreover, I bought two at a time and gave them one tael of silver without asking for any change.

Zhang San also hesitated for a moment: "I...I don't know either."

Lu Quan hesitated and said: "It may not be the Hongying Army, maybe it's the rich young master from some family, right?"

"No, it must be the Hongying Army."

Brother Zhang remembered something again, "The young man was wearing ordinary clothes, but his horse was very good. When the three of them got up and passed in front of me, I could hear the tall and thin man calling the name of the young man in brocade clothes in front of him.

...Song..."

Lu Xiuge: "Song Yunfei."

"Yes, yes, it's Song Yunfei." Brother Zhang slapped his thigh, "Have you ever seen a rich family's attendants call the master's name? It's possible that these two attendants are not the attendants of the young man in brocade clothes.

They are brothers who revolted together. But the father of the boy in brocade should be more powerful."

Having said this, Brother Zhang couldn't help but feel a little annoyed: "If I were braver, I should follow up and see the red scarf tied on the riding crop of the young man in brocade."

Lu Xiangge thought for a while: "I heard shopkeeper Li mentioned before that Chen Quan is from Dongyang County. I heard that Song Yunfei's accent sounds like the accent of people from Qingfeng Village. If Chen Quan is from Dongyang County, then today's speech

This group of people is probably the bandits from Qingfeng Village who revolted with Chen Quan."

Lu Quan: "Chen Quan is from Dongyang County?"

Brother Zhang: "Song Yunfei is from Qingfeng Village?"

Both of them couldn't believe it.

However, Chen Ping'an was trying hard to think that he seemed to have heard the young man in brocade clothes shouting at the pier today. However, the pier was in a mess at the time, and he did not hear clearly what the man shouted.

"But……"

Lu Quan looked at Lu Sheige in front of him and hesitated for a moment, but still didn't finish his words.

Brother Zhang, however, did not have Lu Quan's concerns: "But hasn't Qingfeng Village been wiped out by the government?"

Lu Sheige smiled: "That's only what the government said, no one has seen it."

When everyone returned home and seven families gathered together, Brother Zhang recounted his encounter with the rebels from the beginning.

A room full of people, men and women, reacted differently.

The man's first thought was that the rebels were indeed as they claimed: there was unevenness everywhere, and no one was without food and warmth. Everyone in the world had fields, and everyone in the world worked together.

This puts all the poor people on the same level as those wealthy families. That's why Zhang Sange sold two hundred coins in a backpack and was not killed.

What women think about is, these days have just passed, why is God so blind?

They don't care who becomes the emperor in the court, as long as their family can be fed and clothed.

The children were all excited. A small backpack could be sold for two hundred coins. This rebel army must be too rich.

If they came from Huaicheng, wouldn't they be able to sell their backpacks to buy land and build houses?
