The crowd rushing through the mountains and fields was suddenly absent from the front, and loud screams and scolding burst out.

“There are traps…”

"careful.."

"Don't push me..."

"Push you a turtle son..."

"You ha, stop..."

The missing people were lying in a deep ditch full of water, inserted into the sharp wooden stakes and screaming, moaning and asking for help; then some people couldn't stop crossing, but stepped on the inconspicuous slope of the ditch, and then slid down, pressing the people below into strings.

Then someone used the sharpened bamboo pole in his hand to support his body, and then hunched over and screamed; but his feet were exposed by the bamboo sticks in the soil, and he squatted on the ground bloodily and could no longer move forward.

Then, someone rushed over on their backs impatiently, but was dragged to the ground by the low and difficult-to-identify companion ropes on the ground. Only then did they realize that there were many short ropes with iron hooks behind these footprints.

After their delays, the workers working on the construction site of the signal tower suddenly reacted and gathered towards nearby tools and other competent guys amid the sound of warning whistles.

But faster than them, the soldiers holding crossbows stood condescendingly on the scaffolding of bamboo iron hoops, Zhang Xian sent out arrows like flying. Almost exactly fell on these, blocked in simple trenches, footprints, and ropes, among the stalkers.

He also knocked down the attackers who rushed the fiercest and most fiercely and accurately to the ground one by one.

Then these workers holding various tools and iron tools rushed forward with greater encouragement, waved their guys in groups, and crowded them into groups of "thieves" who were blocked from the outside and were afraid of their hands and feet. Their heads were bleeding and their hands and feet were broken and their hands were broken and their feet were cut off.

However, during the fight, these attackers found that their swords and weapons were not even easy to use against the laborers. The opponent used almost all the tools of fine iron. In a few attacks, the blade collapsed everywhere, or the connecting rod simply broke and broke;

So, they were already at a disadvantage and became even more depressed and their hearts were shaken. They turned around and fled.

I don’t know how long it took, as the leader of these local armed forces, Song Renchu, a former famous scholar in Kuizhou, fled in the mountains and fields with his teeth gritted his teeth; because in order to give him a chance to escape, the dozen or so families he followed had already been trapped in the enemy one after another.

As the saying goes, "The son does not speak of the power of ghosts and gods", but the famous scholars in his place have to rely on the means of pretending to be a ghost to incite the villagers. However, it is helpless to act in a wild place.

Because these peaceful thieves are too harsh to the local gentry and prominent families. They not only want to destroy their families and take over their land and property, but also have to break up their clan ties that they have maintained for generations and become retail investors who live in many small families.

He failed the exams and relied on his family's recommendations, and became the governor of the state city as a leisurely bookkeeper. Even in the turmoil, he still had the gratitude and thoughtfulness of being in a peaceful place. However, he never thought that the thieves who were turmoiling the world would still come.

As a result, countless tragedies on earth began to appear in these places, and wealthy families began to take place one after another. Although he escaped the thieves' settlement of old officials because he was quick to see the opportunity, he was appointed to a new position.

However, bad news soon came. His old father, the contemporary patriarch of the "Song Taigong", was also known as "Song Taigong", and was escorted to his own tribe after being confiscated to accept the exposition and public trial. He was frightened to death on the spot.

There is also his Yue family, Chen Wentai, a great charity called "Fuwu Street" in Zigui City, was cut off his head because his slaves were exposed by so-called cruel methods and illegal rituals. Along with his mother-in-law, aunt and brother-in-law, all of them were deprived of their family property and exiled to Lingxi to do hard labor.

Such a lot of new and old hatreds were only doubled for tooth. Therefore, he got drunk without hesitation and killed the thief leader who supervised him, and then lit the fire and fled out of the city.

He ran back to the countryside to gather the scattered and dead tribe members, and traveled through mountains and rivers to the villages without hesitation to express his grief. He explained his righteousness and gathered the villagers who were each in charge of their own country.

Then, he was involved in constant confrontation and struggle with the thieves occupying the local area; first attacked the thieves who went out alone, then ambushed and intercepted their whistle-foot teams, and even took the initiative to attack some weak defense strongholds; gradually ran and excluded them from the towns, and could only be trapped in cities.

So, when the Jingnan army, who represented the imperial court, came back, they also took the county and prefecture cities in and out of the way, and killed the thieves and those who were accomplices of the tigers, and were also extremely happy to revenge.

However, the good times did not last long. The Jingnan Army, which had originally occupied the three prefectures of the Xiajiang River, suddenly left the river and retreated into Shu in a good situation. Then the Taiping thieves with cruel and cruel methods came back.

As a result, when he heard the news, he was frightened and retreated, and there were many fugitives. His newly appointed regiment commander's troops suddenly shrank by half, leaving only those who were homeless or had nowhere to go to whom he had a great hatred for the thief.

He wanted to retreat to several inland villages, which were quite dangerous and remote inland, so as to deal with the thieves for some time before making plans. However, he did not expect that these peaceful thieves were even more cruel than the previous thieves; he actually built a village on the plains of the occupied riverside and recruited those poor kids who were inseparable from the end to the submission.

So now the life of the land owners of the mountain countryside living alone was taken. After all, no matter how extensive they had mountain fields, slopes and water, they still needed people to work and cultivate them to gain something; so all kinds of arrests and escaped young men and escaped, and the scenes of severe punishment began to take place again and again.

But later, the Zhuang Ding and relatives were unable to catch them, so they started to send money, food, and women to ask for help from his local group to work together; they asked them to intercept and punish those who were determined to go out to the peaceful thief Zhuangzi, who were ungrateful or ungrateful.

Even people pretend to be officials among the peaceful thieves, secretly lure and seduce the young and strong people who intend to surrender to the thieves, and then the master's family will be punished cruelly by the family; or they will simply attack the village in the name of the peaceful thieves, killing those who are determined to surrender to the thieves as a warning; then the landlord comes out to show kindness and comfort people's hearts to eliminate their longing.

However, this situation has not lasted for a long time, and the peaceful thieves who had just left the town rushed over. Under the leadership of those who escaped, they blocked all intersections and rushed to rush. One of the suspects of all kinds was caught, and soon the people sent by Song Renchu ​​were cleaned up;

Many people who pretend to be peace thieves were even chopped up and hung on the road for warning. Then, Song Renchu ​​found that he could get help and shelter, and the fewer and fewer hiding villages were hiding;

The strongholds and checkpoints that the thieves have continuously set up not only to see the passages inside and outside the mountain, but also to control the inlet and outflow of rice, tea and wine cloth in the mountain in disguise. This has stuck to the vital points of many people;

Many people in the intersection are difficult to use. Just a wooden fence and dozens of bows and arrows are enough to make people return home or block them for a while. Then a fully armed thief army will come to support and support.

Although Song Renchu, the Guizhou delegation, had some secret passages and paths, they were used by mountain people to hunt, and even a little more people could not pass through, let alone let the load horses and livestock carrying heavy load horses pass by.

Although some of his subordinates were good at climbing and bypassing the blockade and successfully attacked the levels and basements of the thieves several times, there was no substantial improvement to the overall situation at the moment.

With the continuous shrinking scope of activities and lack of material resources, their Guizhou Army has become increasingly weak and exhausted. After all, the resources that can be provided in the mountains that can be hidden are limited.

The villages and towns scattered in the mountains and valleys of all sizes will not come in handy once they are separated, and they will not be able to fight against the endless thief army and defeat them one by one.

For the first time, this team had a conflict with the unequal distribution due to hunger due to lack of food; therefore, the villages and towns that were originally willing to help and shelter them also suffered great trouble and were regarded as victims of bridging internal conflicts, and they plundered all the troops.

However, these newly stolen goods were limited in their use. When the things were quickly consumed and they looked around and there was no place to gain a foothold or live in their lives. As a result, Song Renchu, who was a troupe, could not stop or suppress them, and each brought some people to escape and seek food.

Song Renchu ​​could only learn from his mistakes and gave up his plan to continue to deal with the thieves in the mountains. With the last bit of willingness to follow his men, he ventured through the mountain trail full of thorns and snakes and insects, and traveled all the way to the Linjiang flatland upstream.

He planned to find the weak points of the thief army garrison here, and based on the last hundred men as the foundation, among the rural soldiers who were dissatisfied with the means of the thief army, he pulled up another team of troops; and to destroy the new stronghold of the thief army, the first formation where their troops could form a power.

As a result, they failed. Song Renchu ​​found a geek master to pretend to be a god and mischief. He was a lot of trouble. He was both coerced and tempted in several villages, and he rushed to force and gathered thousands of people. At the end of the matter, he could not even defeat such a group of hard laborers who built demon towers and a few soldiers, so he was blocked and defeated and retreated in anger.

When Song Renchu ​​stopped completely without force, he had already fallen beside a trickle of mountain stream, and the "savage man" reflected in the clear and mirror-like water flow was a "savage man" with a mess of ragged body, with hair and hair disguised with blood stains and sweat.

Song Renchu, who was almost forgot, couldn't help but feel sad and burst into tears. Why did he come from his heart to fight in the countryside with diligence in the kingly affairs? Could it be that these thieves are already under great influence and have no power to take revenge and pursue revenge?

He complained for a long time before he picked up the stream and moistened his thirsty and cracked throat and body and mind. As the extremely cold spring water flowed and swayed in his body, Song Renchu's agitation and regretful mood slowly calmed down; but he rethinked his own way.

At least after losing these followers, he could only choose to lie dormant for a period of time to avoid the limelight. Then he waited for an opportunity to sneak up to the prefectures and counties in the upper reaches of the Xiajiang River that were not occupied by the thief army. I believe that with his experience and experience under the thief army, he might be able to get the appointment and value of his official position.

At this time, a sound of scattered sound came from behind him. Song Renchu ​​couldn't help but turn around and take alert, but saw a man with an equally disheveled face staggering from the sparse bushes, and said in a surprise voice:

"Is it Song Tuan trained?... We are Li Sanyou who has led a mule and carried a pole...."

Song Renchu ​​then vaguely remembered that there seemed to be such a person around him, and couldn't help but let go of his guard and said:

"My foot is a little hurt, I have to worry about your burden. I will receive a lot of rewards."

"What you want is our blessing..."

The man named Li Sanyou agreed repeatedly.

After climbing up the other party's generous and hunched back, Song Renchu ​​couldn't help but put down his guard more and more, and closed his eyes sleepyly in the slow bumps and shaking. He dreamed again of his wife who had not yet suffered in a drowsy manner, and showed a shy smile behind his graceful father-in-law.

He couldn't help but reach out to grab the sleeves, but he grabbed the air and suddenly fell into the endless abyss. Then he woke up and found that he was not dreaming, but was really thrown off the mountain wall by someone. In the intermittent screams and screams, he bumped into the uneven rocks.

Not long after, the man with a blond face named Li Sanyou stood timidly and flattered on the edge of a wooden list, and said to the Taiping Armyman who was checking a bloody head:

"Isn't this the heads of Song Tuanlian and the old thief Song? It's still cut them down by our own hands. Jun Ye must see them carefully..."

"This is a reward for Xuan Hong, which costs 100 yuan. We only need to get half of it, and it's better to have less than 30%... By the way, there is also a guarantee for redemption..."

"And peace of mind, yours will naturally not be short, and there is no problem with redemption. It's just that people who have troubled history and have to supervise their residence in another place for some time."

Another Taiping Army on duty, said nothing.

"A village that has participated in the rebellion must strictly implement remote resettlement and management processing..."

"I want it, I have to... I haven't posted it in this country anyway... You said we can go wherever we want..."

Li Sanyou nodded vigorously like a chicken pecking at rice.

As Song Renchu's head was circulated along Xiajiang Road through various prefectures and counties, and finally arrived in Fengjie City, Kuizhou, the group was escorted to the city gate, but someone lamented loudly.

"Why do we have to kill all of us? Isn't it okay to live in harmony with your army?"

"I ask myself why I have never treated the countryside harshly and have repeatedly given up mythical property to provide relief to my neighbors... Why do I suffer from this disaster?"

Chen Yanzhang, who was also a military officer in his past year, sneered in a handwritten booklet.

"You have never treated the countryside harshly, but your relatives and servants rely on their power. The fish and meat are in a state of disrespect. Have you ever seen and stopped it?"

"You have helped the villagers, but you secretly instructed people to take them to rob the past, but what should you say?"

"I am just a man with more selfish intentions than righteousness. How dare I say to my Taiping Army to coexist harmoniously?"

"If we let all of us live in peace and harmony, then most of the poor people in the world really have no way to survive..."

——I am the dividing line—

Outside Jiangling City, Murong Tu, who returned to the matter and handed over the follow-up, was also receiving the expected instruction.

"You parrot, how can you tell me how to say hello to you? Why do you always want to make a big noise and a big incident has come out? Now it has fulfilled your wish."

As Murong Mu's current direct subordinate Shangguan, Chen Buju, the captain of the scout cavalry team known as "one whip" and "little white wolf".

"This time, at least three groups of hostile elements were cracked, including forged bills and smuggled items. The commendation order of the Congregation Rebel Association will soon come down, and maybe there will be benefits from the legendary special committee. According to the system and rules of the patrol team, you are now skipping the two-level patrol ranks;"
