  Chapter 11 011【The thief is defeated】

  Travel doesn't spend the night on the town!

   It’s not how vigilant this guy is, but about three miles east of the town, there is a big house built by local tyrants. It is not only luxurious and rich, but also has towering courtyard walls, which can not only enjoy comfort, but also protect one's own safety.

  The strongest two hundred rebels were chosen by Ta Po Tian as personal guards, and lived with him in a mansion outside the town.

  The beautiful wives and concubines in the house were divided up by several rebel leaders.

   Maids and servant girls, distributed to those personal guard commanders.

  Even the healthy women who washed and cleaned, as well as the women who were taken captive from the town, were given two hundred soldiers. After they were full, their desires were released.

  Ta Potian was sleeping soundly at the moment, and beside him lay a naked young woman.

  The young woman was obviously ravaged, and she quietly got up in the dark after Ta Potian fell asleep. She took out a pair of scissors from the cabinet, tears running down her cheeks, and walked towards Ta Potian step by step.

"boom!"

  In the dark, the young woman tripped over a stool.

  Ta Po Tian suddenly woke up and asked, "What are you going to do?"

   "Evil thief, even if I'm a ghost, I won't let you go!" The young woman knew that revenge was hopeless, so she held the scissors back and stabbed herself in the chest.

Ta Potian hurriedly lit the oil lamp, looked at the young woman bleeding from her chest, and said in a daze, "You... don't you want to be a queen? I really want to marry you, and I don't care that you are already married. What does it matter if you die? You die What is it? Woohoo..."

  The thief actually cried bitterly in a low voice, because the young woman was his sweetheart whom he had been secretly in love with for many years.

  Ta Potian's hometown is in Duliu Town.

  He used to be a private salt dealer, and he belonged to the lowest kind.

  The Ming Dynasty sold illegal salt in the following ways—

One is official private, officials and their family members entrain and transport; the second is military private, the army participates in private salt sales; the third is commercial private, loading more than two catties beyond the quota of salt import; For the sake of smugglers, also known as salt lords, they gather thugs to engage in large-scale smuggling of salt.

   As for Ta Po Tian, ​​it can only be called a salt stick.

  Gather three or five young and strong, and sell salt through the villages and towns. The nature is similar to that of a hard-earned peddler.

  Soil salt, divided into alkali salt and nitrate salt, is made by frying nitrate soil. The taste is bitter and poisonous, and only the lowest level people will buy it.

   Even if it is selling soil salt, this meager profit is also being targeted by the inspection department.

  Two of Ta Potian’s partners were arrested. He took the remaining two brothers and fled to Tianjin South Wharf to survive. I could have worked hard to survive, but unexpectedly encountered several months of drought, the canal was dry and shallow, and the work of coolies on the docks was also lost.

   Then rebel, go back to your hometown, and grab your sweetheart—the granddaughter-in-law of Hu Yuanwai in this town.

  Ta Potian burst into tears, sitting next to the young woman's body, suppressing his voice and crying heartbreakingly.

   "Boom boom boom boom boom!"

   "Kill!"

  The sound of drumming and shouting for killing suddenly came, and Ta Potian stood up in panic, and shouted while putting on his clothes: "But the officers and soldiers are here?"

  …

  Wang Yongshi tied the hem of his clothes around his waist, rolled up his sleeves and raised his sword to charge: "Guys, defend your hometown, at this moment, follow me to kill!"

  These warriors each received three taels of silver as a settling allowance before departure, and two taels of silver as a reward after the battle. Moreover, Wang Yongshi promised that they would be exempted from corvée labor for the next three years, and the service money would be directly wiped out in a whip tax.

  Five taels of silver, three years of exemption from military service, enough to risk one's life.

  The warriors are all strong and strong, and those with night blindness are not required.

  Unfortunately, none of them know how to fight.

   During the charge, the ranks were all in chaos, and the captain couldn't find his subordinates, and even the chief couldn't figure out where the captain was. Moreover, he didn't know how to conserve his strength, so he ran at full speed from a long distance, and he was exhausted and out of breath when he rushed to the small town.

   Mob.

   Again, the Peasant Army is even worse!

  The disorderly people scattered in the town were awakened by the sound of drums and shouts, and hurriedly dressed and went out to check. Seeing countless torches outside the town, he was so frightened that he turned around and fled immediately, not forgetting to bring the looted food with him.

   No weapons, only money and food, completely forgetting that they are a rebel peasant army.

  Many rioters also suffered from night blindness, panicked and fell into the canal, and drowned countless at night.

   "Kill!"

  The more than five hundred warriors were originally afraid of death, but when they saw this situation, they suddenly lost their fear. They turned into peerless warriors one by one, often daring to chase and kill dozens of people.

  The township bravely pursued and lost its organizational system, the rioters lost their organizational system when they fled, and the night raids turned into muddled chaos.

  Zhang Fen and Song Chunming, the directors of the township inspections, no longer looked embarrassed in the daytime. At this time, they seemed to be possessed by Lu Bu, waving his waist knife and chasing all the way. Wherever they go, there is no one enemy, and they each embark on the highlight moment of life.

   After chasing for a while, Fei Yinghuan felt uninterested. He stopped and put his sword back into its sheath, and took out his folding fan to enjoy the moon and enjoy the coolness.

  Wei Jianxiong didn't even bother to use wrought iron rods, he just chased after him with a torch. He caught up with a rioter on horseback, captured him and asked, "Where is Tapotian? I told you not to die!"

  The rioters replied in horror: "On the east side, in the house outside Hu Yuan."

   "Not in town?" Wei Jianxiong asked.

   "Not here, not here." The rioters almost fainted from fright.

  Wei Jianxiong left this man behind, rode his horse and galloped east, shouting all the way: "Follow me quickly and kill the thief leader!"

  No one responded, they all went crazy and chased after each other.

  Wei Jianxiong had no choice but to ride alone. He didn't know where Hu Yuan's house was, so he guessed the direction and galloped eastward.

   I didn't know how far I ran, and finally saw a few rioters running for their lives with big bags and small bags on them.

  Wei Jianxiong chased after him with a horse, knocked one to death with a stick, smashed several heads in a row, grabbed the survivors and asked, "Where is Tapotian?"

   "I don't know, they all ran away!"

   "Bastard!"

  Wei Jianxiong was so angry that he slammed down the stick, causing his brain to burst.

  Ta Potian was also furious at this moment. The officers and soldiers attacked Duliu Town at night. He was safe outside the town. Hastily summoned more than 200 soldiers, and even had time to move the goods, intending to continue to flee with these troops.

   Who knows, after only escaping for one mile, more than half of the more than two hundred soldiers dispersed.

  Even the old brothers who sold the soil and salt together quietly left the team with their goods, and the ghosts who were in the dark didn't know where they went.

  The team was hard to stop, and Ta Potian was disheartened. He said to the remaining hundred or so soldiers: "They are all good brothers who fought together. Now that disaster is imminent, let's not embarrass everyone. Let's separate with our belongings."

  Everyone was overjoyed and took away their belongings from the car one after another.

  But there were still more than a dozen people left, who gathered around Ta Potian and refused to leave. They said: "General, the officers and soldiers who surrendered are dead, and returning home to farm is also dead. Why don't you fight for a future with the general!"

These words made Ta Potian rekindle his fighting spirit, and he was moved to tears and said: "We are all good brothers, you will not let me down, and I will not let you down. From now on, we will share the blessings and share the difficulties. The extra wealth No more, just bring food and weapons, bypass Jinghai and go to Yanshan County to start an incident!"

  A mob with disheveled hair, originally huddled in the back, suddenly stepped forward: "General, the younger one will lead the horse for you. The general is Guan Erye, and the younger one would like to be Zhou Cang."

  Ta Potian laughed suddenly: "Haha, it seems that you have also heard of opera, and you have some knowledge in your stomach. Where is your hometown?"

  The mobster replied: "General Qi, my young family lives in Zongbao Village, Ziya Town, and my whole family fled famine to Duliu Town to beg for food. The luck is bad, the sky has no eyes, and all the family members starved to death. It just so happens that the general is doing something important."

   "Speaking so well, have you ever read a book?" Ta Potian asked doubtfully.

  The rioters cupped their hands and said: "I have studied in the village school for several years, but unfortunately I was not admitted to the scholar, and my family has no money so I stopped studying."

  Ta Potian said: "I went to Zongbao Village to sell salt, and there was a Juren in the village last year. His name was...what was his name?"

   "Gao Eryan, courtesy name Zhongfu," the rebels explained, "That is my elder brother, he is from the main clan, and I am just a side branch. The younger one is named Gao Ershun."

  Ta Potian recalled: "Gao Ershun? I have a little impression. Does your family live in the east of the village?"

  The rioters said: "Exactly, the general has a good memory."

  Ta Potian finally no longer doubted it, and said happily: "Brother Gao is a scholar, so he will be my military advisor from now on. When I become the emperor, you will be the prime minister."

   "Thank you, General, the younger one will lead the horse for the General." The rioters took the opportunity to step forward.

  Ta Potian handed the reins to the other party, and said: "Master Gao, I plan to go to Yanshan County to start an incident, you can come up with a plan for me..."

   In the middle of speaking, he stopped abruptly, and a dagger was stabbed into Ta Potian's stomach.

  The rioters twisted the dagger half a turn, pulled it out and stabbed it in again.

   After stabbing a few times, Ta Po Tian slowly fell to the ground.

  The rioters pulled out their waist knives and jumped on their horses swiftly. Before the other rioters could react, they slashed at them with their knives and shouted, "Gao Eryan, the governor of Ziya Town, is here!"

  All the thieves were frightened and fled in all directions.

  Gao Eryan turned around immediately, cut off the head of Ta Potian, and galloped towards Duliu Town.

   "Da da da da!"

   After running for a while, there was the sound of horseshoes in the wilderness.

  Goryan Lema shouted: "Who is coming from the opposite side?"

  Wei Jianxiong responded: "Wei Jianxiong, the general under the command of King Jinghai!"

  Gao Eryan held up his head and said: "I am Gao Eryan, the Juren of Ziya Town. The head of the thief has already been killed, and his head is here!"
