"Xu Shoubei, that kid Liu Sheng was captured by the Tatars!"
Xu Zhiyuan suddenly became anxious. He was the nephew of the old man Pang Qing. He left the family behind and ran away. Later, although he worked hard, he never got the opportunity to lead the soldiers. He only led the militiamen and guarded the Qingshiji.
Including this time when Zhu Yiyuan decided to establish the Shandong Dusi of China, Xu Zhiyuan did not participate in such a big event. He still acted as his guard and was responsible for looking after the house.
But this time Xu Zhiyuan did a good job. He sent the villagers into the mountains in advance to avoid the Qing army. Food and supplies were hidden in the tunnels.
He led the young and strong militiamen and also took precautions in the tunnels to meet the Qing army at any time.
In addition, in order to monitor the movements of the Qing army, Xu Zhiyuan would also arrange many young and clever soldiers to observe the movements of the Qing army and inform the villagers everywhere.
This is what young Liu Sheng does. Xu Zhiyuan knows this child. His family is a famous poor family in Qingshiji. His father died of illness a few years ago. His mother raised four children by herself. Liu Sheng is the eldest, and there are two more below.
A younger brother and a younger sister.
Their adobe house is ten years old. It is crooked and leaking. They have no money to repair it.
Until Zhu Yiyuan got the Zhang family's land and granted it to every villager, Liu Sheng's mother and four children were actually allocated twenty acres of land.
The autumn harvest had just been completed, and their family received twenty-five shi of food.
Liu Shengniang was unwilling to give out some early adopters to others. In addition to setting aside enough to pay taxes, she also planned to sell some grain to raise some money as soon as possible to renovate the house.
In a few years, my eldest son will get married.
She was reluctant to eat the new grains, so she could only replace them with cheap miscellaneous grains.
But Liu Sheng was very thoughtful. He hoped to join the army, because after joining the army, he would be able to get three more acres of land and have brand new clothes to wear.
From the time he can remember, not only has he never eaten steamed buns, but he has also never worn new clothes. His clothes are all modified from his father's old clothes, but there is nothing to complain about. His younger brothers and sisters are all wearing his old clothes.
…
This kid told Xu Zhiyuan more than once that he wanted to join the army. Xu Zhiyuan smiled and agreed, "When I become a serious soldier, I will definitely promote you!"
Because of this promise, Liu Sheng gave Xu Zhiyuan a nest of wild duck eggs and asked him to serve them as a banquet.
Xu Zhiyuan clearly remembers the ghostly appearance of the young man, taking out a few duck eggs as if offering treasures... "Why were you so careless, and you got caught!"
Xu Zhiyuan could only keep spinning in the tunnel, thinking about how to save people.
At this time, another bell suddenly rang. Xu Zhiyuan immediately picked up the large knife, and several other people also picked up the red tassel gun. This was a battle alarm, and Tatars had descended into the tunnel.
Before they could go over to help, they heard miserable screams, and a Green Camp soldier gave the soldiers hiding in the tunnel a chill.
Deserve it!
It's not that easy to deal with our tunnels.
It turns out that these tunnels have been carefully designed. The entrance is very small and can only accommodate one person. Below the entrance, there are militiamen watching at all times.
As soon as they found the Qing troops coming down, they would ring the bell to notify others, and take weapons to kill one by one.
Liu Zhiqian and the others were the first Qing army to experience the true power of the Qing Dynasty.
They searched around and found the entrance. As a result, several people went down, and without exception, they all died.
The remaining people no longer dared to go down, so they could only shout at the entrance of the cave to let the rebels come out and surrender. Isn't that a dream?
They had no choice but to pour water into the tunnel. Unfortunately, they poured water in buckets. There were culverts in the tunnel to divert water, so they were not afraid at all.
If the water tank doesn't work, then set it on fire.
It's a pity that the fire goes upwards, and the tunnel is not afraid at all.
If you use smoke inside, the result will be similar.
Nothing can be said about it.
They also moved earth and rocks to fill the tunnel.
But underneath the Qingshiji, there were tunnels crisscrossing the area, and not much could be destroyed in a short period of time.
This tunnel is actually more difficult to deal with than the city wall.
"Hit! Beat me hard!"
Liu Zhiqian held a whip and tortured the young Liu Sheng again. He had passed out three times and was doused again to wake him up. There was not a single piece of intact skin on his body, and even one of his eyes was beaten out.
"Speak! Come on! Where are the entrances to the tunnels? Where are the thieves hiding?"
Liu Sheng coughed and blood flowed from his mouth and nose. He lost one eye and could only see a blur of blood in the other eye.
But he could feel that the other party was already furious.
He wanted to laugh, and a mouthful of blood came to him again. After a moment, he squeezed out a smile and whispered: "You lost!"
Hearing this, Liu Zhiqian was furious, "You are such a thief, I will beat you to death!"
He swung the whip wildly, and within two strokes, Liu Sheng fainted from the pain again.
This time Liu Zhiqian did not wake up Liu Sheng, but asked his men to kill the thief.
At dusk, a corpse with exposed bones and bloody flesh was hung on the flagpole.
"This shameless beast has no ability to fight us. How can he be a hero if he bullies a child?"
Xu Zhiyuan's eyes were bloodshot. He picked up the knife and came to a hidden exit. Not far from Liu Zhiqian's camp, he could clearly see Liu Sheng's broken body.
In an instant, Xu Zhiyuan was about to rush out and avenge the young man.
But he rushed out, didn't he just fall into the trap of these thieves?
"Why!"
He stamped his feet fiercely and could only suppress his impulse, "When Mr. Zhu's soldiers arrive, you just wait to die."
Xu Zhiyuan called another person and told him to be careful to find Zhu Yiyuan's soldiers and horses, and to pass on the situation of Qingshi Ji. He must be careful not to let Qing Gou catch him again.
The militiamen nodded and he quickly left. It took more than an hour before he came back.
"Xu Shoubei, they are all here! Mr. Zhu, Tan Qiye, and Liu Baoyi are all here. They will start shouting for a kill soon, and it will be a general attack."
Xu Zhiyuan was shocked and said hurriedly: "Quickly inform everyone, prepare weapons and torches, and prepare to avenge Liu Sheng."
The other militiamen gritted their teeth, "Yes, avenge Liu Sheng! Kill all the Qing dogs!"
Time passed little by little. Several generals of the Qing army, Liu Zhiqian, Zheng Longfang, and Yao Wenchang, discussed repeatedly. They knew that the rebels were underground, but they could not destroy all the tunnels at the same time, and they could not find a way to go down.
Method.
"We are like tigers eating the sky and have nothing to say!"
Liu Zhiqian was so angry that he cursed his mother, "This place is evil, and the people are also evil. They are born to be thieves, and I would rather die than talk about it. Send an order, let everyone go back first, and then think of a solution."
But just when Liu Zhiqian was about to retreat, Tan Deyu arrived with a thousand elite soldiers.
"Qing Gou is showing his teeth and claws in our hometown. Everyone, follow me and kill Qing Gou!"
"Kill the clear dog!"
"Kill the clear dog!"
The rebels came over as quickly as possible.
Liu Zhiqian's attention was attracted by the tunnel. After leaving, Ye Bubu found the main force of the rebels but it was already too late.
Tan Deyu led his men and horses, and they were already in front of them. He brandished a long knife, which was similar to chopping melons and vegetables, and then he came in.
At the same time, militiamen rushed out from places where the Qing army had not noticed, including corners, warehouses, stoves, even latrines, and under trees.
Xu Zhiyuan was the first to jump out. He raised his sharp blade and roared: "Avenge Liu Sheng!"
"revenge!"
"revenge!"
…
The sudden appearance of the militiamen threw the already panicked Qing army into chaos.
What's even more terrible is still behind, the mountains in the distance also appear with fire, and there are faint shouts of killing.
How many thieves are these?
Liu Zhiqian was stunned for a moment. He just felt that there were shouts of killing and thieves everywhere... He had no choice but to run away.
And when he ran away, he fell into Tan Deyu's trap. Instead of concentrating his main force to attack Qingshiji, Qi Ye asked Liu Bao and Luo Yi to each lead a thousand households, and waited for them to escape before besieging them.
The Qing troops who were fleeing in all directions fell into the trap formed by the two thousand households.
"kill!"
Immediately, the shouts of killing were everywhere, and Liu Zhiqian was in a state of shock. This gang of thieves could not only hide underground, but also rush out and fall from the sky. It was really terrifying.
He could only take his men and escape desperately...
At this time, Tan Deyu had already reached the Qingshiji and joined Xu Zhiyuan.
Xu Zhiyuan wiped the blood from his face and said, "Master Qi, Liu Sheng is dead!"
Tan Deyu followed Xu Zhiyuan's fingers and saw the body on the flagpole. For a moment, his anger rushed to his forehead.
"Why are you still standing there? Kill me!"
"Avenge Liu Sheng!"
The roar that filled the mountains and plains became a reminder for the Qing army. The Qing army fled in a panic and was constantly hunted by the people. No one showed mercy to them, just like they showed no mercy to Liu Sheng. This chapter has been completed!
