The young people in Heilongshan began to take advantage of large households in an unorganized manner.
Twenty or thirty girls and wives formed a gang and went out early in the morning to wander around the surrounding villages.
Women tend to have friendships more easily than men. They meet with women from other villages, and the other villages point out the big households. They serve as vanguards, pushing away the servants and rushing into the yard. When they are blocked, they shout and shout.
There is nothing we can do against them.
After entering the yard, they would get grain for the fire. No matter which village they were from, they would gather together to have a hearty meal. In the afternoon, they would go to another village. In the evening, they would go home and bring back a small bag of grain.
It is difficult for men to do this. Some men saw the women doing this and thought it was a good idea. They also wanted to try it, but they were kicked out before they even entered the village.
When dozens of men gather together, the destructive power seems much greater.
Liu Chengzong had an illusion that the situation would get worse within a few days.
Indeed, the arrival of a group of thieves from the seed management team broke the ecological balance of Yan'an Prefecture, and the people of Heilong Mountain who suffered losses were wandering around, aggravating the situation.
Such an agitated crowd made Liu Chengzong afraid to reveal the news to his tribe.
"They can gather thousands of people for me in one day. In half a month, the team will reach 5,000 or even 10,000 people. Then everything gets out of control. How many people do I have to kill to be able to support them."
In the dilapidated cave dwelling in the back mountain, Song Shouzhen, who had an iron chain tied to his ankle, glanced at Liu Chengzong: "Then why did you come to me?"
"Because you are a thief, you know where there is a siege, and you cannot defeat it."
Song Shouzhen's eyes were full of sarcasm: "We can't defeat it, but you can defeat it with twenty or thirty people?"
Liu Chengzong shook his head: "Ten good players are enough. There are thousands of you and you don't even have ten good players."
In front of Liu Chengzong, the musician from Yijun County felt greatly frustrated. He felt that Liu Chengzong might be right.
But I don’t know if that’s true or not, because he has never seen the good player Liu Chengzong mentioned.
Several of their guardsmen were defeated and surrendered.
But most of them are citizens and farmers. Musicians like him, who have been taught by his mother for several years, are already the intellectual ceiling in the team.
This made him eager to see what a good player was.
He took a step forward, and the iron chain tied around his ankle clattered: "Take me with you, and I will tell you that there is no earthen wall. We can't break the earthen wall!"
"I can take you, but after I finish this, you have to follow me up the mountain to get rid of the grass. You can't bring trouble to your home."
Liu Chengzong got what he wanted to know, locked the cave and went out.
The clansmen originally wanted to take Song Shouzhen to prison in Fucheng, but the government awarded him a meaningless honorary title, which made people lose interest in the matter.
Recently, people are planning to release him or kill him, but they haven't made a decision yet.
Coming out of the cave dwelling, Liu Chengzong called Shang Chengzu, Cao Yao, and Cai Zhongpan, each of whom led his horse and headed westward.
What Song Shouzhen said about the circle is really in line with Liu Chengzong’s ideas.
"Where are we going?"
Cao Yao had an unlucky look on his face. He was planning to have a restless relationship with his mother-in-law for a while in the back kiln. Unexpectedly, he was called out by Liu Chengzong: "You haven't even pulled up your pants yet, you are holding me and walking out in a hurry. What's going on? The emperor has passed away."
?"
Liu Chengzu didn't know what was going on, but after hearing Cao Yao's words, he still frowned and said, "Just hope a little better. Three emperors have already died in a row. If another emperor dies, the people will not be able to survive."
”
Liu Chengzong was silent all the way. After leaving Heilong Mountain and walking for a while, there was no one around, and then he said: "I'm looking for Song Shouzhen today."
"Looking for the thief..."
Cao Yao suddenly became energetic. He quickly took two steps forward on his horse and asked, "Did they hide money and food somewhere before?"
Liu Chengzong shook his head and said: "They are so poor that they can't hide anything. But if I find out that there is money and food in a place, it depends on whether Brother Cao dares to follow me to get it."
Liu Chengzu realized what his brother wanted to do from his words, and frowned even more.
However, Cai Zhongpan knew about this and just said: "Lion, stop tempting people and tell me."
Liu Chengzong smiled and was about to speak, when he saw hundreds of people walking along the official road, and he quickly drew his knife and hid to the side in preparation for hitting his horse.
The group of people each held sticks, swords and guns, and one of them held high a long plain cloth flag with eight characters written in ink on it: The law of the country is hard to break, and hunger is hard to stop.
The hungry people, the angry hungry people have been armed and mobile.
After they walked along the official road in a mighty manner, Liu Chengzong and others started on the road again and said: "About a hundred miles to the southwest, on the border of Fushi, Ansai, and Ganquan counties, there is Wangzhuang with vast fields."
"It's called Wangzhuang, but it was actually privately occupied by the Qin vassal, who was named Zhang Qing. During the reign of Tianqi, he invaded and invaded thousands of hectares of pasture. When someone complained, he summoned gang members to beat the officials to death, and the governor couldn't control it." p>
"I brought the complaint to the emperor, but the emperor ignored it and let the Qin vassal handle it on their own, so he put him here as the leader of the village. The planting and management team had wanted to surround it for five or six days. There was water and food in the fort.
In the end, he was beaten away by Shouxiao's commander and comrade Xiao Guandou."
After saying that, Liu Chengzong turned to the three of them and smiled: "How about it, let's knock it down. Is this considered justice for heaven?"
Cai Zhongpan stared. He never thought that Liu Chengzong said he wanted to do something big, but he actually planned to do something as big as this.
Cao Yao was a little moved, but he didn't agree directly. He just said: "Are you planning to go over and take a look first? The four of us will definitely not be able to defeat it."
Before Liu Chengzu could speak, Liu Chengzong had already said: "Brother is not involved in this matter. Let's go and visit the location. Brother knows the soldiers and sees how to fight and complete the plan."
"As soon as the food is robbed, I will go up the mountain. If I am exposed, I will not bring trouble to the family. Let's just pretend that I am no longer there."
All Liu Chengzu's words were blocked at once.
He was very angry: "You put it simply, what if you die outside and let us grow up?"
"If you really die, that's your fate. I've never been afraid of death when I left the Great Wall to protect the imperial court. I'm even less afraid of death to protect my family from starvation. Let's not talk about this brother."
"The lion is right, Seungjo, you are pedantic! What is more just than letting your parents and uncles fill their stomachs?"
Cao Yao was afraid that the world would not be in chaos, so he gave Liu Chengzong a thumbs up: "Besides, what good thing is Wangzhuang? Let's rob it, leaving no one alive, and no one will know."
Liu Chengzu didn't speak for a long time, thinking about it over and over, and finally choked out one sentence: "Lion, I don't say whether Wangzhuang can be captured or not. If we do, have you thought about how to transport the food?"
This is very important.
Liu Chengzong had never thought of attacking so far away before, but the temptation to attack Wangzhuang was too great.
Not to mention money and food, at least at the inner moral level, there is no baggage.
Emperor Taizu's legacy of expelling the Tartars has been completely exhausted, and the princes of the clan are like blood-sucking leeches entrenched in such a huge territory.
He chuckled and said to the horse: "Let's go and take a look first. It's a hundred miles away, and we must think carefully before we start."
