If you spread out a map of Jingzhou Prefecture, it is not difficult to find that Huya Mountain is really a good place to cause trouble. This is a place with "three no-nos". Although it belongs to Yiling Prefecture in the administrative division, its actual location is

It is the junction of three prefectures and counties, including Yiling Prefecture, Yidu County, and Changyang County. Moreover, this place is also the intersection of the Jianghan Plain and the mountainous area of ​​western Hubei. It is also next to the Yangtze River Waterway, and across the Yangtze River is the endless Jingshan Mountain.

Near Huya Mountain, there is also a Qingjiang River leading to Shizhouwei.

Huya Town is at the foot of Huya Mountain and close to the Yangtze River pier. Transportation is well connected in all directions, so it is inevitable that there will be a mixture of good and bad.

However, such a place with a mixture of fish and dragons traveling from south to north has not been strictly controlled by the Yiling Prefecture Government for a long time. Like most of the county-level prefectures in the Ming Dynasty today, Yiling Prefecture has a high degree of autonomy. Prefectural officials are local

The major taxpayers recommended by the government were reviewed by Hubei Province and Jingzhou Prefecture, and finally reported to the imperial court and appointed by the imperial court.

As long as Yiling Prefecture can complete the tax amount, the imperial court will not have much control over the administration. As for local public security, it is directly managed by the police patrol yamen, law division yamen, judge yamen and garrison yamen of Jingzhou Prefecture. However, Jingzhou Prefecture's financial resources are limited.

, and is also responsible for the security of Badong, Changning, Guizhou, Xingshan and other places on the front line of the Yangtze River in the west, there is not much spare time to manage the Huya Mountain in Yilingzhou, as long as the local local snakes are led by Ding Papi

A group of farmers can maintain a semblance of stability, and the gentlemen of Jingzhou Prefecture are too lazy to meddle in their own business.

However, in recent times, Jingzhou Prefecture has indeed been very negligent. Huya Town has become a stronghold of rebels. At night, there are countless fast boats and horses on the plains, hills and rivers around Huya Town.

All kinds of news were passed back and forth. The four public security offices of Jingzhou Prefecture actually knew nothing. At least in the eyes of the heroes in Huya Town, the government knew nothing!

The clipper Li Gongzi was riding on also mysteriously docked at the dock when night fell on the tenth day of the second lunar month.

As soon as the boat docked, a group of men with waist knives, bulging clothes, and mostly wearing chain armor and cotton armor surrounded them.

The chubby businessman-looking man under Niu Jie of this group of people got off the boat, bowed his hands respectfully, and then stepped aside. There was also one of them who came close to the fat man, chatted with him in a low voice, and then walked into the town.

Run.

Ushisuke also got off the boat, looked around, and found several open and hidden sentries, including several carrying matchlock guns.

"Fat Liu," Niu Jie asked the fat man in a low voice, "are all your people here?"

"Everyone is here!" Fatty Liu said, "There are 1,014 people in total, all here!"

These 1,014 talents are the real backbone of this "Huya Mountain Uprising"! And they are also the result of many years of layout by the Trade Department of the Dashunhu Government. Don't think that the Ministry of Punishment, Jinyiwei, and Dongchang of the Ming Dynasty are all blind and deaf people who have done nothing in recent years.

There are thousands of smooth and fine works in their hands!

Behind these 1,014 people, there are at least two or three times the heroes of Dashun.

But as long as there can be a vigorous riot in Jingzhou, the blood of the heroes will not be in vain.

On the way to Huya Mountain, Niu Jie's men had informed him of the bad news that the Ming army had invaded Hanzhong. Of course, his men did not know that Shang Kexi and Shang Zhixin were killed in Hanzhong. This was kept secret by the Ming Dynasty.

According to public gossip, the situation is still very good!

It’s a big good, not a small good!

Wu Sangui, who escaped from the pass and went south, has already reached Lueyang! Shi Dewei, who attacked by Qishan Road, also captured Qiuchi Mountain, Xuanshui Town, and Zhifangtoupu. These three places together may not be enough to cover a county, but Niu Jie knew

How important it is there!

The Qishan Road is already halfway finished. Once Chengxian and Xiaochuanzipu fall, in fact, Xiaochuanzipu has already fallen. Chengxian County is under fierce attack by Liu Sheng and is almost finished. The entire Qishan Road will be finished.

Once Qishan Road and Sanguan Road are lost, Hanzhong will inevitably be lost. If Hanzhong cannot be saved, can Sichuan be saved?

Thinking of this, Niu Jie took a breath and whispered: "Let's go! Let's go into the town!"

The big house of Ding Papi's family has been requisitioned by the head of the Trade Department of the Dashunhu Government who arrived in Huya Town in advance, and has become the general headquarters of the Huya Mountain Armed Uprising!

The day after Mr. Li arrived in Huya Town, the spacious courtyard of the Ding family's mansion was already crowded with heroes from all over the town and the nearby Huya Mountain.

Zhang Xiucai and Wang Sihu were considered the hosts of Huya Town. They both put on the narrow-sleeved arrow jackets only worn by heroes, both of which were blue, and welcomed guests at the gate of the courtyard.

No matter how much Wang Sihu traveled around the world, he could still return the favor to the working people. When he saw so many "heroes" at once, his head was dizzy and he didn't know what to say. These gang leaders, hall leaders, and leaders, who are not Huguang Jianghu?

The number one person on the list? Wang Sihu usually has no qualifications to meet them, but today he can actually be on an equal footing with them!

What a proud life!

And Zhang Xiucai is a figure. His family has been scholar-bureaucrats for generations! Among the people in the Ming Dynasty, unless they reached the level of Zheng Zhilong and Shen Tingyang, they would still be shorter than the scholar-bureaucrats. So Zhang Xiucai is not afraid of these people, no matter what

They held hands and exchanged greetings with everyone who looked familiar, and they did not forget to admire the generosity and benevolence of "Mr. Li".

"Brother, don't worry. Mr. Li didn't come empty-handed. He came on a river boat traveling with the wind. In addition to the weapons on the boat, there is probably no less than one hundred thousand taels of gold and silver! Your share is indispensable!"

"Don't worry, brother, Mr. Li is the nephew of King Li Chuang, and he is also the king of a county in Sichuan. If we follow him, are we afraid that it will not be as spicy as it is?"

"Yes, yes, there is gold and silver! When the time comes, we will count the heads and divide the gold and silver."

Hearing Zhang Xiucai's assurance, all the heroes in the martial arts world were very happy, not because of the one hundred thousand taels of gold and silver, but because of Mr. Li's identity!

This is a big fish!

If he was tied up and presented to Zhu Weishuai and Governor Pan, it must have been done by a high-ranking official and the horse must be ridden!

What? Do these heroes really think so?

Of course!

Nowadays, there are indeed evil forces on the ground in Jingchu. In this world at the end of the Ming Dynasty, organizations such as the Yiguan Party and the Shachuan Gang will have to be wiped out in future generations! But how can the emperor of the Zhu family have such strength? Since he can't sweep away, he can only

I can collect some more.

Of course, the main purpose of sweeping is to sweep away those who have been recruited as officials, and to sweep away those who are still running around in the world! It is impossible to sweep them all, but it is better than not sweeping them at all.

In the Jingchu area, because there is still a great cause to prevent thieves and rebels, and there are too many landless peasants entering the city, there is no way out at once, so the Jianghu forces have a greater living space, and the court treats them,

It is to collect and control as much as possible.

As for the heroes in the Jianghu of Jingchu, all those who could achieve greatness had secretly taken refuge with the government and were willing to act as lackeys.

Even those village owners from Badong and the valleys around Guizhou are all self-sufficient guys who would have been out of work if they didn't do this!

However, this kind of secret surrender to the imperial court must be kept secret. It is not that it is not honorable to be a lackey, but it is a good thing for the country and the people! It’s just that these heroes have to act as the eyes and ears of the imperial court, monitoring the remnants of the rebels in Jingchu area, so

Identity must be kept confidential.

Of course, there are also many Jianghu figures in Jingchu who have not found a way to join the imperial court. Some of them have also received invitations from "Master Li"!

It's just that these people either have no character and dare not come to Huya Mountain to seek refuge with King Chuang. Or they have no character and report the traitors to the court. Or they encountered officers and soldiers on their way to Huya Mountain to crack down on gangsters, and now they are on their way to Tianshan Mountain!

Zhang Xiucai invited all the heroes into the courtyard and arranged food and drink for them. Then he led the dizzy Wang Sihu to report to Niu Jie: "Master Li! The heroes are all here and waiting for your lecture.

Rewards are given”

"Okay!" Niu Jie shouted, "It's time to do something big!"

He had been so excited that he couldn't sleep for several nights, and he was also a little nervous. He knew that the factory guards in the Ming Dynasty were not that useless, and they would definitely detect the gathering of thousands of people at Huya Mountain.
Chapter completed!
