Chapter 1254: Continuing the past and opening the future (144) The opportunity has come
He Yong lay on a tree fork of a big tree that was thick with embrace. He was bored and rolled the leaves into leaf whistles, put them in his mouth, whistling, and the sun was shining on him in the sky through the gaps between branches and leaves, making people warm, making He Yong want to close his eyes and have a good sleep.
Since the last time I met Wen Yi here, this hidden path into the mountain has become a passage for the rebels to go down the mountain to inquire about information. He Yong naturally cannot go there. His goal is too big and too many people know him, so he can only stay here as a support point.
Niu Teng said that the land reform in Ziyang County will be an opportunity for them. He Yong was a little unbelievable. As a former farmer, the land was unparalleled to him. If he had not registered in the government and the whole clan and the young and old died at the hands of the government, he had even had the idea of becoming a good person. The news is still strictly blocked on the mountain. Even a confident person like Niu Teng was worried that if the news was leaked before the exact result, it would cause turmoil among the rebels on the mountain. If the people's hearts disperse, the team would be difficult to lead.
A serene sound came from the bushes. He Yong was shocked and threw away the whistle in his hand. He quietly pressed the hilt of his waist. Someone came over and was definitely not his own, because when his people arrived at this point, he should send a secret code first. He bent down and stared at the place where the sound came.
The dense jungle was separated by a pair of black claws. A figure emerged from the inside, scaring He Yong. The people who came out were covered with black paint, as if they were poured from top to bottom by ink. They were carrying three sheep forks in their hands, and they walked all the way with panting.
He Yong burst out his breath and looked at the three sheep forks, which made him look familiar.
The visitor accidentally arrived under the tree where he was hiding, threw away the sheep fork in his hand, sat down, and leaned against the big tree. After a while, He Yong actually heard the crying.
The man didn't cry easily, but He Yong heard the zodiac under the tree crying, while crying and even saying something, he actually felt a tearing feeling in his heart. If he could make a man feel so sad, it must have happened to something big, and He Tong himself cried. That was when he learned that his parents, wife and children were killed by the government.
The man under the tree raised his head, tears shattered the darkness on his face. He Yong suddenly recognized it. Isn’t this Wen Yi from the village? Last time he said that he could divide dozens of acres of land after he went back and live a good life. Why did he suddenly become like this?
Something happened must have happened.
He Yong thought about it, held the tree pole with both hands. Suddenly he slipped down. When he was still two or three meters away from the ground, he kicked his legs and jumped down from above, and suddenly landed in front of Wen Yi.
Wen Yi, who was completely unprepared, jumped up suddenly, and reached out to pull the single knife inserted between his waist. It was stolen from the yamen runner who was killed by him. Half of his hand reached out, he could see that He Yong was standing in front of him, and his hand suddenly froze.
"Brother He Yong!" Before he could finish his crying, tears were already flowing.
"Brother, what happened? What's wrong with you?" He Yong stepped forward in surprise and supported Wen Yi, who was trembling all over.
"I'm dead, all of them are dead, my wife is dead, my son is dead, and I'm the only one left." Wen Yi curled up to the ground, hugged his head, and cried again with a big cry.
Looking at Wen Yi who was in great pain, He Yong squatted down silently and sat beside Wen Yi. He had experienced this pain, gently patted Wen Yi on the back, He Yong did not say anything comforting, nor could he say anything at this time.
After half an hour, He Yong finally knew the whole story from Wen Yi who had calmed down. As expected, the imperial court's equal rule became a corrupt official. The landlords and powerful people gathered money and exploited the people. Wen Yi was not the only victim, but he would definitely be the worst one.
"In our village, there are many people who have been deceived like you, right?" He Yong asked.
Wen Yi nodded, "There are still several companies that have lost all their money. Everyone borrowed usury loans. I am afraid they will not pay it back in their lifetime."
He Yong said fiercely: "If you can't pay it back, then you don't have to pay it back. Ayi, you are a good person. At least you killed the dog officials who killed your wife's baby. But these people are just dog legs. If the officials behind them had not been distorted, why would you fall into this field? How could your wife and baby die? Do you dare to follow me? Let's find an opportunity, kill them down the mountain, and dismantle those dog officials one by one?"
"Dare, why don't you? I've killed several of them. This time I went up the mountain to find you. At the foot of the mountain, I can no longer survive." Wen Yi clenched his fists tightly and said with a ferocious expression: "I want to kill these dog officials cleanly."
"Okay, we will be good brothers in the future. But you can wait here first. I have a few brothers going down the mountain. When they come back, I will take you to a good place." He Yong patted Wen Yi's shoulder heavily.
When the sun sets, several spies who came out finally returned to the joint location one after another. After joining He Yong, a group of people took advantage of the night to walk through the deep mountains and forests, and all the way to Gucheng Mountain.
"It's so far?" Niu Teng was surprised when he heard Wen Yi's crying. He thought that these dog officials were really bold and had such a bad heart that they had reached such a stage of making money and losing their lives. If they were in the Kingdom of Han, they would be cut into pieces. Oh, no, the Han Dynasty did not have such torture, but this situation was not possible in the Han Dynasty. A county magistrate stared at him not only with the supervisory agency, but also with a large number of congressmen. These congressmen came from all walks of life and class, and it was not feasible to buy them.
"The king is right. The system is important!" Niu Teng said in his heart. He thought to himself that King Qin, Fan Sui and others worked hard and paid a huge price to promote internal reform. But a good decree came to the bottom and was actually made like this. Not only did it not play the role that Qin court wanted, but it got the due result, but it became a reason for the greater corruption. It was pitiful to think about it.
But from the perspective of a big man, no matter how good this is, it will be gone.
"Is this the only one who is the boss? This time I sneaked into the town, and the list of the people who have divided the fields was publicly announced. How many acres are there? What is ridiculous is that I actually saw the name of Brother Yong's family. Each name is a real ten acres of good land!" A spy also went the farthest.
"The bitch is raised, and my family is killed by them. They don't even let anyone die." He Yong was furious.
"This is Li Dai Tao Zombie." Niu Teng said lightly: "The dog officials are just ways to divert their attention and blind their superiors. These lists must have been made into booklets and sent to the top. When you look at it, you can see that it is done well. The fields have been divided smoothly. Next, you are waiting for a bumper harvest. How could you think that these places have already fallen into the hands of those dog officials and the local tyrants and evil gentry who are connected with those dog officials. The best way to bully the upper and lower levels is to bully the upper and lower levels. What is the situation in other places in Ziyang County?"
"It's almost the same. In some places, every family is crying. They are so cruel that they not only make plans on the fields, but also take the opportunity to leverage usury. It's similar to the situation of the Wen Yi family. I can never pay it back in my life." Another spy said, "There are many troublemakers everywhere, but the general Zhou Liang of the imperial court stationed in Ziyang County was connected with them. His army had a fierce aura in Ziyang County. With him in the control, how dare the people make a big fuss? At most, they would cry and go back in a bad mood, claiming that they were unlucky."
"It's not that I think I'm unlucky, but that I dare not speak out. Ziyang County is now a powder barrel, and it's just a little bit of a spark." Niu Teng said softly.
He Yong jumped up suddenly: "One of the boss, we are this Mars."
Niu Teng smiled, "He Yong is right. Let's be this Martian. The Martian falls into the powder barrel. With a loud bang, these dog officials will definitely be blown to pieces. Since they want money but don't live, we will take their lives."
"Boss, when will we go down the mountain?" He Yong suddenly became excited.
"Don't worry, this is our chance, but don't forget that there are still three thousand imperial garrisons in Ziyang County. This is the old army brought out by the veteran Qin general Meng Tian. It is not comparable to ordinary rural soldiers. We have to plan carefully before we can go down the mountain. If it cannot work in one blow, we have to roll back to Cang'er Mountain with our tails and become lynxes."
He Yong gasped. When they were uprising, the momentum was so great. However, in a head-on battle with the three thousand troops brought by Zhou Liang, the peasant army uprising that swept several counties, the tens of thousands of peasant armed forces gathered were defeated by the three thousand Qin troops. It was that battle that made him realize the huge gap between the regular troops and the peasant uprising army. If it weren't for the timely appearance of the boss in front of him, his group of people would have been completely suppressed by them.
