The north gate of Suzhou has not been opened for more than half a year. The reason is very simple. After leaving the north city, it is a generation that is lost to the south. The people there are first suffered the disaster of the rebels and then robbed by the Xiang army, and they have long been dissatisfied.

Many people in Suzhou City have also heard similar rumors, such as terrible rumors such as gathering people to cast swords in a village outside the city, recruiting village heroes to form their own army, or joining together to attack and kill passing officials and military officials.

Many people were panicked and felt wronged and innocent. Those bad things were done by the Xiang Army, what does it have to do with them...

Fortunately, the prefect knew how to appease the people. The Xiang army did evil, but he sent people to appease the people from time to time and allocate food. Many people speculated from this that the Xiang army did not listen to the prefect's orders, and the prefect had no choice.

But I didn't expect that in the past half month, the north gate of Suzhou City has not only opened, but also the yamen runners wearing soap green uniforms rode high-headed horses in their banners, riding a tall horse in front of them. They went out in the morning and came back in the evening, which was a lot more at ease.

At least the city gate has been open for so long, but no one has come in outside the city. The prefect only set up six or seven ordinary guards at the city gate, which has made many people frightened.

.........

Shanaokou Village is at the foot of the mysterious mountain, and many people in the village make a living by hunting and fishing.

Life was not very good, but at least it was comfortable and comfortable. Liu Ji was the same at the beginning. He took the hunting bow used by his father by the previous generation at home. The handle was ground to be dark and smooth, with bamboo and wood body and beef tendon strings. This bow was the lifeblood of their family's meals.

Life is already peaceful, and it has been like this for several generations. When he was sixteen, Liu Ji married his daughter from the next village and has since become the pillar of the family. He had his first child a year later, but unfortunately he lost it when he was born.

The next year they gave birth to another one, and this time they survived. He was very happy to be a father, but at this time, a disaster was coming.

In the middle of the night that night, he was awakened by the dog at home. At first he thought it was the wolf in the mountains who was extremely hungry and went down the mountain to catch sheep, and he carefully brought the hunting bow out. As a result, as soon as he went out, the mountain was filled with dark people. Countless torches shone the small village in the valley as bright as during the day.

......

A man who claimed to be an Anglican asked them to take everyone in the village and all the food they had with them.

Of course, some people don’t want to leave. Old Man Zhang, who is in his fifties at the village head, will never leave. They pressed his head and hung it on the old persimmon tree in his house.

More than 60 households in a village were forced to take them away and became the so-called "Olympian Army".

It was fine at first, because everyone brought food and had food, and were used to living a comfortable life. Who would want to resist?

But after a long time, after the food was finished, someone started running, and then was killed by the Lord's people. It was useless to cry if he couldn't escape.

They also finished the food they brought. At first, the people of the Holy Episcop would give them some food. Later, when there were too many people, they started to grab it. Then they disappeared and had to find food by themselves.

What made him most sad was that near the river bank in the south of Suzhou, the crowd had been out of food for a long time. He went out to find food for his wife and children. As a result, his wife, who was hungry and thin from home, was covered in injuries and cried heartbrokenly, saying that her son had been snatched away!

Liu Ji suddenly felt that it was dim and he had heard that some people were so hungry that they started eating children!

This mountain and field are full of confused people, where can I find my son?

My wife was heartbroken and was getting worse every day. She could only say something in a daze that he couldn't understand.

Later, he heard that some people in front could not help but fight with the Lord's men. At this time, the prefect also brought troops to rescue them. He attacked them twice and killed the Lord...

They were finally able to leave, and the Holy Holy Army with swords also fled in scattered and stopped looking at them.

Many people looked confused, and Liu Ji burst into tears and was about to take his wife home, but there were too many people on the way and they got separated when they crossed the river.

After he returned home, he went out of the village to search for him several times but no news. He was probably dead...

After experiencing the ups and downs of life, he has experienced many vicissitudes, but if you think about it carefully, who can you blame?

I thought it would be difficult to live a good life after this great disaster, but I didn't expect that the Xiang army would come again at this time...

The xiang army was wearing armor, with swords, guns, bows and crossbows, and robbed things everywhere under the banner of catching rebellion. As long as the family was a little valuable, they could not avoid it. Although everyone was forced to leave, they were somewhat guilty at first, so they could only accept it.

But the Xiang army became more and more excessive. Finally one day he heard that the Xiang army in the next village had drunk too much, chopped people, and fought against both sides, killing seventeen or eighteen people. After such a thing, the Xiang army was slightly restrained, but they came to "driving the millet" every now and then.

That's right, what the Xiangjun calls, but in fact he just robs him openly and kills people if he doesn't give him! Many people are so afraid that they can hide in the mountains.

Fortunately, as soon as the Houxiang Army left, the prefect would send people to send them some food. Although there was not much, each family had it, enough to eat for a while. Think about it carefully. When he was coerced by the Holy Lord, the prefect brought troops to rescue them...

......

Facing the fire at home, Liu Ji couldn't help but feel sad when he thought of these things.

In the distance, a group of people sent by the prefect seemed to be talking to the village chief and several older people in the village. More people came this time than usual.

After so much experience, Liu Ji vaguely felt that it would not be a good thing. It was already dark and every family was cooking.

At this time, the cousin next door walked in and said against the fire: "Liu Si, the village chief has something to say, let all the men in the village go to the entrance of the village, let us go together."

Liu Ji nodded, got up and patted the gray on his butt, and then went out.

Under the old persimmon tree at the entrance of the village, last year, Old Man Zhang was chopped down by the Holy Lord and his head was hung on the tree. When they came back, they had almost been eaten by birds.

Human eyeballs are the favorite place for crows and birds to eat, so if no one collects the corpse, they will be pecked away by crows and become lonely ghosts. It is called "ghost blind" in the countryside, which is the most taboo way of death among villagers.

But when they escaped, Old Man Zhang's eyes had been pecked long ago, and the body was dragged away by some wild beast, and only half of the head with some flesh on the old persimmon tree was left.

Everyone buried that half of his head, but Old Man Zhang was probably turned into a lonely ghost, Liu Ji thought so.

Soon, the men in the village gathered under the old persimmon tree one after another. Everyone was whispering. I don’t know what happened. The village chief brought a few people, carrying two big boxes, lit a torch, and came to the tree. Everyone stopped talking and looked at him.

The village chief stood on the big rock bulging on the side of the road. Everyone was standing on the high ground. The wind whistled. Before he could speak, he sighed. When he sighed, everyone knew that he would not say anything good.

The village chief spoke with a crutch and his voice was very low, but everyone was leaning on the cage and could hear it clearly: "The prefect sent someone to say that he killed Jiang Peng, the commander of the evil army, who did the evil."

Everyone was happy when they heard this, but at this moment, the village chief changed the subject.

"It's not that simple. Once he killed him, the emperor was furious and sent a high-ranking official to question him."

Everyone was angry, and someone said, "How many evil did Jiang Peng do that dog god? What's the crime of killing him!"

"yes!"

"This emperor is simply incompetent with our people..."

“…”

The village chief waved his hand to calm everyone down, and then continued, "The prefect said that he couldn't help but kill the imperial envoy..."

The whole audience suddenly became silent, and only the sound of the wind was whistling. Even ordinary people could probably think of how much crime it would be to kill the Emperor Qin Envoy. I don’t know how many people would die.

"The army sent by the imperial court to attack our Suzhou is already on the way, with an estimated number of tens of thousands, all of which are the emperor's imperial guards and are usually kept in the imperial city.

The prefect said he was sorry to everyone, so the prefect who came today brought food and weapons. "The village chief said, and ordered people to pry open the two big boxes beside him, and the iron spear tips were all brushed in it.

"Let everyone get one piece of food, and weapons are used to defend themselves. Run quickly. The farther you run, the better. It is best not to stay in Suzhou." The village chief shook his head and looked sad: "This is what the prefect said."

The men present lowered their heads after hearing this, and someone muttered to themselves: "I'm going to run again, how many times have I run..."

"Every time I run, I will die."

"Where can we go out of Suzhou, where can we go..."

"The dog emperor bullies people too much!"

“…”

The depressed and desperate atmosphere spread among the crowd. Liu Ji clenched his fists and walked forward and said, "Missar, I want both the gun and the food, so I won't run away."

"What can you do if you don't run, what can you do if you don't run?"

Everyone's eyes also looked at him.

Liu Ji was calm at this time: "My wife is dead and my baby is dead. Now, I understand. Just because the dog-dance Lord came, I was timid and dared not fight with him. I always thought that it would be better...

Anyway, I will most likely die if I run away. I plan to go to Suzhou City and fight those damn gods."

As he said that, he walked over and picked a good gun from the box: "I want to kill someone, I will choose the best first."

The men looked at him blankly, and then Liu Ji's cousin also walked out of the crowd and went over to pick a gun from the box: "I'll kill people too!"

People walked out to pick the gun head one after another, and then stood on Liu Ji's side, the village chief was stunned...

"You, you are going to fight against the emperor!"

"Go to the emperor of Dog Ri, I will play wild game by myself, farm by myself, and raise my own fields by myself, but how could he give me half of it? Where did the emperor fall when the Lord of Dog Ri came? The army he raised was all a group of jackals!" Liu Ji's cousin said angrily.

Many men were angry when they heard this, and they no longer hesitated. They all went forward to choose the gun head and stood on Liu Ji's side. The village chief looked at the situation and didn't say much, but just walked over and patted Liu Ji on the shoulder.

The night wind at the entrance of the village is still whistling...

.........

Ding Yi stood at the top of Suzhou city and watched group of local brave men carrying swords and guns slowly enter Suzhou city. Jiang Peng, commander of Suzhou's Xiang Army, and the imperial envoy of the imperial court, Mo Minyun, the head of the Secretariat, was hanging above the city gate. Everyone would curse him when passing by.

The Suzhou prefect's magistrate wrote a sincere and grievanced document that was posted throughout the Ansu Prefecture, winning people's hearts with retreat as an advance. As expected, a head of Jiang Peng and a head of the imperial envoy became the key to victory.

But Ding Yi knew in his heart that some things could be changed for a while but not for a lifetime. If he wanted to change them, he would do it himself!

"Ding Xianzhe, is this really useful? This is a lot of money every day, and I think there is a tendency to increase the number these two days." The head of the Wang family behind him frowned.

"If Uncle Wang is reluctant to leave, he will withdraw your porridge shed." Ding Yi didn't want to talk much about this short-sighted old antique.

"This... this nephew was joking..." The old guy laughed awkwardly and stopped talking.

In the past few days, he has joined hands with several major businesses to open porridge sheds everywhere. Anyone who came to Suzhou from all over the world would provide free food.

When I asked the servants and their families to provide food, I just said: As a Suzhou native, I will do my best to do my best, and I will not be as proud as you to sacrifice your life for justice.

The effect will definitely be unexpectedly good, because in the same hatred of the enemy, emotions and atmosphere will accumulate, which is a great time to win people's hearts.

Ding Yi also knew that his actions would definitely arouse Su Banchuan's dissatisfaction, but Su Banchuan had no time to take care of it.

To put it bluntly, the prefect still made a mistake. He never thought that although he could incite people's hearts, how would he place him when tens of thousands of village heroes come to Suzhou City? With his numerous weapons and countless precious armors?

When Ding Yi heard Su Banchuan showing off these things in front of him that day, he understood that the opportunity to establish prestige has come. People need to eat, drink, defecate, and then they can go to war. Su Banchuan thought a lot and prepared a lot, but they all thought about going to war, but they forgot how to support these people.

Now, even if Su Banchuan is dissatisfied, he dares not act rashly. Ding Yi stopped. Ansu Mansion could not support so many people, so he could only watch him openly and win people's hearts. This is a dignified and open plot.
To be continued...
