Chapter four hundred and eighty seventh bloodbath old back four
It was still dark, the east had just turned white, and most of the people in Majia Village were still sleeping, when a few officers and soldiers came from outside the village, claiming that they had come to the village on orders from the commander-in-chief of Lushun to collect food and pay.
Prompt for food and pay? This is outrageous!
Master Ma Degui, who had not yet gotten up, heard the report from the village soldiers and without saying a word asked someone to ring the gong.
The gong sound of "dang-dang-dang" soon sounded, and instantly the entire village, men, women, and children were awakened. After a while, hundreds of village soldiers wearing white hats and holding swords and guns gathered at the gate of the village.
Several old people who were listening to the lecture said that there were soldiers coming from outside and wanted the village to provide food and wages. Suddenly the white hats became angry. The younger ones got angry and took up their swords and guns to go out of the village to teach those officers and soldiers who did not know the heights of the world. Fortunately,
The old men of the Ma family, who were in charge of the village, were so shocked that they stopped the young men with a few shouts, and then they hugged Ma Degui and went up to the wall of the village.
Before going up to the village wall, Ma Degui thought that there were many officers and soldiers outside, but when he went up to the wall, he found that there were only five or six people there. He immediately felt relieved, and after explaining a few words to the old men of the Ma family next to him, he opened his voice.
He shouted towards the wall: "Which army are they coming from?"
This was a question knowingly. The officers and soldiers outside had long told the white hats guarding the stronghold that they were the Liaodong Army under the command of General Lushun, but Ma Degui deliberately shouted like this, as if he would not be able to show off his authority if he did not start like this.
The officers and soldiers wearing red cherry felt hats and armor riding horses outside were not upset after hearing Ma Degui's words. The leading general flag took a few steps forward on his horse, and then shouted: "I am the general flag general Wang Qianyuan under the command of the general soldier in Lushun.
I came to your village to collect grain on the order of my general soldier."
Ma Degui frowned: "Which Lushun general?"
Wang Qianyuan also frowned and said: "Of course he is the general of Lushun in the Ming Dynasty!"
Ma Degui has been a local overlord in Tangyin for decades, and has been to Kaifeng Mansion as far away as possible. He has never heard of Lushun. Combined with his understanding of the general soldiers in various places in the Ming Dynasty, he can't help but conclude that the general soldiers of Lushun were sealed off randomly by the imperial court in order to suppress the bandits.
His title is not that of a genuine commander-in-chief. He has a limited number of soldiers and horses, so it doesn't matter.
With this understanding, Ma Degui couldn't help but become more courageous, and shouted: "I know that there is a general soldier in Kaifeng, a general soldier in Luoyang, and a guard station in Nanyang, but I don't know where the general soldier in Lushun is! Let me tell you
You, my village is a village in Tangyin County, not your village in Lushun. If you want me to help you with food and salary, there is no way!"
"Yes, there is no door, there is no door!"
The white hats behind the village wall couldn't help but shout in agreement when they heard Ma Degui's encouraging words.
A middle-aged man next to Ma Degui even shouted arrogantly: "You don't even want to know who owns my village, Majiazhai. You are so blind that you dare to come to our village to ask for food and wages! If you are sensible, get out of here!"
, otherwise we will destroy you gang of bandits pretending to be government troops!"
Hearing these words shouted from the wall of the village, Wang Qianyuan smiled instead of being angry. He glanced at Chen San beside him. Chen San hurriedly ran to the front. He had already thought about how to shout, but when the words came to his mouth,
It was: "Master Ma, it's me. The younger one is Chen San, who works for the Third Master. Do you still remember the younger one?"
"Chen San?" Ma Degui took a closer look. He was not one of the gang of servants under Lao San. It was okay that he didn't know him, but the recognition made him even more unhappy. He cursed: "You Chen San, you dare to eat the inside and outside."
If you bring outsiders to the village to ask for food, you won't be afraid that my youngest son will deal with you!"
"Mr. Ma, please calm down, there is nothing you can do about it..." Chen San was obviously too afraid of Ma Degui on weekdays, and now his face turned pale with fright. He was about to say that he was also forced, but was suddenly pushed aside.
Wang Qianyuan, who was on top, glared: "Don't you want to live?"
Upon hearing this, Chen San suddenly became excited, his whole face changed instantly, and he shouted angrily at Ma Degui: "Ma Degui, I have been ordered by General Shi of Lushun to restrict your Majia village to gather in the afternoon.
Collect the food and fodder needed by 3,000 people for half a month. If we can’t get it together by noon, the commander-in-chief of Lushun has said that a large army will come to kill you mobs without leaving any chickens or dogs behind!”
"Damn Chen San, you don't want to live anymore!" Ma Degui didn't expect that a young servant from the Yamen would dare to threaten him like this, and he yelled angrily.
"Hmph! Ma Degui, I advise you to do as you say, otherwise, no one in this village will be able to survive!"
After Chen San finished speaking, Wang Qianyuan waved his hand and led his men away. Chen San quickly followed suit. He had no horse. If he fell behind, the people in the village would not spare him.
The officers and soldiers from Lushun arrived in a strange way and left suddenly. The Ma family on the wall did not react for a while. Only when there were only blurry images in their sight did they realize: Just left like this?!
An older white hat asked Ma Degui: "What should we do if the officers and soldiers want food?"
"If the sky falls, there will be a tall man holding it up. I'm afraid he will do something bad. If you dare, come and hit him!" Although Ma Degui usually has a kind face and smiles at everyone, but when it comes to death, he is also very tough.
He gritted his teeth and ordered everyone: "Go immediately and summon all the parishioners within a ten-mile radius to the stronghold. Tell us that the government is bullying our parishioners, and ask everyone to come and fight against the government and the army."
He also told a tribesman who could ride a horse: "You immediately ride a fast horse to the temple to inform the old servant and ask him to spread the news immediately. Huh, in less than two days, the entire Nanyang Mansion's parishioners will arrive at my Ma's house."
Those who come from the stronghold will be afraid of this bastard general from Lushun! This shitty general only has three or two thousand troops at best. As long as we teach the people to unite, we don’t have to be afraid of them at all!"
"In addition, I will immediately send someone to the county seat to ask the third child to find the county magistrate. Just tell me, Ma Degui, that if the magistrate sees outsiders bullying our Majia village, we the people will tell him, the county magistrate, to get out!"
"Pack up all the valuable items in the village, and drive back all the cattle, sheep and livestock outside. Don't let anyone rob them. All the ladies and daughters-in-law got up and started burning the stove for me, killing the cattle and sheep.
It is a good way to entertain the parishioners who have arrived, and to make everyone feel full and strong enough to have sex with the officers and soldiers."
"Go and tell the surrounding caravans that our Ma family is in trouble this time. Please come to our aid for the sake of my Ma family's kindness to them. After we retreat from the army, I, Ma Degui, will repay you with generous gold!"
After all the clan members followed the order and left, Ma Degui whispered to his second brother Ma Dexi who stayed behind: "Go to Zhending in person to find Ma Shouying. He is the same horse as us, and we are both religious. There are many others."
He is so powerful that even the reinforcements and suppression troops can't defeat him, let alone the Lushun commander. Go tell Ma Shouying and ask him to send troops to Tangyin. Let's help fight against the Lushun army and then destroy Tangyin City.
A fortune!"
"Hey! Okay!" As soon as Ma Dexi heard that he was asking his old man to come back and Ma Shouying was going to destroy Tangyin City, he immediately laughed from ear to ear and jumped off the wall.
