262 The Apocalypse

As a logistics company, the job is actually quite easy. It is to regularly pick up grain from nearby official warehouses. This is a team of thousands of people. From Sichuan to Shanxi, the front line is infinitely lengthened. It is unrealistic to transport grain from Sichuan and it is also a waste. It is not necessary to send troops to fight across borders. It is not necessary to send troops to send military salaries to Shanxi officials and the people are not required to send military salaries. Of course, if the supply of grain and grass is not timely, or the procedures are not timely, you have to buy it from the people or gentry.+

It's a good deal.

At this time, the three places of Jin (Shanxi), Hebei (Hebei), and Henan (Henan), it can be said that riots were everywhere, and the chaos of the people caused disasters. There were hundreds of rebels of all sizes, such as the Eight Kings of Xiying, the Eight Kings of Nanying, the One-character King, the Three Hands, Lao Huihui, Zijinliang, the Chuang General, the Four Tigers, Huanglong, the Stars of the Tiantian, the Chuang King, Zhang Fei, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Shi Tatian and other famous rebels had dozens of rebels, which could be said to have flooded and disasters.

Rebellion formed a torrent.

In order to win a famous name, these people were also sent out. Lu Haoshan could only shake his head when he heard this. He said that heroes came from troubled times, but not everyone was successful, and it was impossible for everyone to be a hero. In this turbulent and chaotic era, the greed and bad nature of human nature are easily exposed, and of course, it is sometimes due to the environment.

Among the three places of Jin, Hebei and Henan, Jin is the most chaotic. Shanxi has barren land and people live in poverty. However, Shanxi has rich minerals and many miners. In order to make more money, the miners desperately squeezed the miners. The miners dared not speak out. Even when they heard the rebels coming, they took the initiative to respond and joined the rebels in groups, which not only strengthened the rebels' strength, but also led the way for them. Even some people in the city would respond. They could be described as "a spark can start a prairie fire."

As a logistics supporter, Lu Haoshan had no intention of competing with Dong Jian and kept following behind. He only provided some things within his ability.

After entering Shanxi, Lu Haoshan led his 800 elite soldiers to travel along the Fen River in Pingyang Mansion. This route was not chosen by Lu Haoshan, but by Dong Jian, the main general. I heard that several large rebels were active in Datong and Taiyuan. Dong Jian waved his troops straight to Taiyuan without saying a word.

When he first entered Jin, the court ordered the soldiers of the Sichuan division to guard Pingyang and Fenzhou, waiting for an opportunity to move. This was the opportunity to leave a lot of room for imagination for Dong Jian. Taiyuan is the capital of Shanxi. It is prosperous and rich. Shanxi merchants who have always been good at operating are rich enough to compete with the country. I heard that they had a lot of food, gold and silver warehousing, and they were all fat. When fighting, they had many opportunities to make money. Dong Jian pointed his finger at Taiyuan without saying a word.

It’s just a free time. Taiyuan is also very enjoyable.

On the fifth day of entering Shanxi, in late December, or on December 22, Lu Haoshan led his troops to a place called Dafu Village. Because of the sky, he stayed in Dafu Village for a short time.

Dafu Village is a village under Wenxi County, Pingyang Prefecture, Shanxi. Although Wenxi is a small place, it is famous in history. There is a branch of the Hedong Fei clan, a century-old famous family, and many celebrities emerge, such as Pei Xiu, the father of the map of the Wei and Jin Dynasties. There were Pei Du, the wise minister of Zhongxing, and Zhao Ding, the famous minister of the anti-Jin, and others. There are also imperial steles written by Emperor Xuanzong of Tang and articles written by Han Yu in the territory. It can be said that it is a good place with prosperous culture and outstanding people.

Unfortunately, all this has nothing to do with Dafu Village. Wenxi's prosperous cultural atmosphere, the people of Dafu Village will not benefit from it. The New Year will be celebrated in a few days. This is the festival that Chinese people value the most, but here they cannot feel the lively and festive atmosphere of the New Year. The entire village exudes only sadness, pain, and numbness.

Because just a few days ago, this place was looted by a group of peasant uprising troops named King of Troubled Times.

After a simple supper, it was not dark yet. Lu Haoshan and his confidants wandered around Dafu Village. The sun was about to set, and hundreds of households registered, but Lu Haoshan found that less than one-third of the smoke from the chimney was not dark yet, but every family closed the door early. Many houses on the roadside were dark and dark, silent, and looked a bit like **.

It is indeed very similar to **. The village with thousands of people is dark, and there seems to be no sound at all. There are many paper treasures and candles scattered on the ground to pay homage to the dead. The Chinese New Year is coming, but many people in the village still have white silk hanging at their doors. From time to time, a few deliberately depressing crying sounds came from the darkness. The crying sounds are like whimpering from hell. When the cold wind blows, the scattered "paper treasures" on the ground dance with the wind. If it weren't for the courageous people, Lu Haoshan would have been a little scared.

Lu Haoshan noticed that behind the crack in the door, there were many curious eyes with fear. They were the people of Dafu Village secretly watching their group...

Dashan said with some slight distraction: "These people are really unkind. We traveled thousands of miles to help them fight the mobs, guarding us against thieves one by one, and we didn't ask us to rest when we passed by. When we were camping just now, we thought of borrowing a few wooden boards from the people's homes, but before they could even open their mouths, they closed the door tightly and didn't respond to knocking on the door. It was such a kindness that he was regarded as a donkey's liver and lungs."

When he thought of the scene of being rejected, Dashan felt angry. He was born in the Qiang people, in the custom of the Qiang people, he should treat passers-by well. If a guest passes by the Qiang village, he would take out delicious food and drinks to treat him. He was "rejected" here, which made him feel uncomfortable.

Tang Qiang was knowledgeable and shook his head when he heard this, "There is an old saying that thieves are like combing soldiers and combing them. Some soldiers do more than thieves. Now that the sudden troops are stationed here, the people are afraid of it."

As soon as these words were said, everyone remained silent. This is a fact. The tax revenue of the imperial court was limited, and the national treasury was not enough to make ends meet. It has become the norm for arrears of military salaries. Not every general had the same way as Lu Haoshan, so that his subordinates could eat and drink enough. If they were out of money or hungry, they would do so. They would not distinguish between soldiers and thieves, attack the people, and plunder the people without scrupulously, and take whatever they saw. When they resisted, they could not say that their heads were cut down by those people and pretended to be the leader of the thief.

This is no longer a secret in the army. Famous generals like Zuo Liangyu have also done this, and more than once...

Li Dingguo, who was in charge of inquiring about the news, whispered: "Three days ago, the people who claimed to be the King of Troubles took hundreds of mobs to loot the place. These people were robbed of gold, silver, food, and animals in the village all night, and they were killed if they resisted. Several of the villagers also joined the King of Troubles and killed his opponents before leaving. I heard that hundreds of people died, including more than twenty women, some of which were killed after the disaster, and many of them were hanged by themselves. Alas, it was so miserable."

Rebellion means to force yourself to a dead end. Today is not aware of tomorrow. Every moment, in the shadow of death, under the huge pressure, the spirit is highly nervous. Those who rebelled cannot bear the huge psychological pressure and will do some abnormal things, such as bloodthirsty, irritability, and unreasonableness. Many people will also "have fun in time". Those high officials hide behind the high city walls and can only vent their anger on ordinary people who are more pitiful than themselves, and they will not let go of the beautiful woman when they see it.

Without legal sanctions and moral constraints, many people's psychology is distorted.

They are like fire, passing hope everywhere; they are like locusts, and they are not spared wherever they pass; they are like disaster stars, spreading despair all over the world.

"Ah, what is this?" As they spoke, everyone came to a rather generous house. Judging from the layout of this house, it was a big house with blue bricks, red tiles and white walls, which were obviously higher than those ordinary houses. However, in the dim light, everyone saw that the wall was covered with blood and there was a faint smell of blood. It was a bit scary when they saw it at dusk. The little Sun Xiong was so brave that he screamed in shock.

"What a random cry, it's really a good person but not a courageous person." Lu Haoshan knocked on his head and said with some dissatisfaction.

So many people are still afraid, but it is still a loss for his size.

Dashan said in surprise: "What's going on?"

Li Dingguo, who was in charge of inquiring about the news, said a little lowly: "I have inquired about it. This family's surname is Pei. It is said that it is a side branch of the famous family Pei family. It is a squire in Dafu Village. It is the richest person in a radius of ten miles. But three days ago, their whole family was killed by the king of troubled times."

As soon as the words "Kill well", Sun Xiong said loudly: "These landlords should be killed."

As the son of a blacksmith, Sun Xiong's family can be said to have a miserable life. First, they farmed the land and the harvest was getting worse year by year, but the rent continued to increase. After borrowing some profits, the profit was even wrapped in two acres of thin fields he passed down from his ancestors. He really couldn't plant the land. He started to use his ancestral skills, but he was also exploited by the gentry. Until he joined the picket team, the lives of the whole family improved. However, he did not have much favorable feelings for him.

Hearing the killing of the landlord, he cheered happily.

"Brother Sun, you are wrong." Li Dingguo shook his head and said, "Although this Pei Township Squire is rich and powerful, he does not bully people with power. He treats tenants well and provides many benefits to the poor people around him. In the famine, not only does he take the initiative to reduce rents, but also opens porridge sheds to serve porridge from time to time. He saves many lives. He is a famous charity in the villages. However, when the king of troubled times comes, he snatches them all without saying a word. Not only does he steal all his family's things, but he also takes a fancy to Pei Township Squire's concubine and his three daughters. Pei Township Squire is a name

After the door, he was not willing to accept such insults. He first pretended to accept the three daughters and asked his three daughters to dress up, deceived the king of troubled times, and then found an opportunity to kill all the three daughters with his own hands. Even if they died, they would not be humiliated. Finally, he picked up a knife and fought with the king of troubled times and the others. But he was not the opponent of those people. He was so angry that he ordered his three daughters to rape the corpse in front of the old man Pei, and nailed their family of seventeen, including women and children, to death on this wall. This is how these blood came from."
