Chapter 399: Wangtang Uprising
Early in the morning of August 20, Sun Lao Wu went out to work in the Liliu workshop as usual, and his daughter-in-law handed him a pot of cold boiled water and a lunch box, and sent it out of the door, and advised: "Go home early after work, don't wander around the street!" ”
Sun Lao Wu is a muna, and he took a big step with the lunch box after agreeing, but he was thinking about pulling a few feet of cloth to make a new dress for his daughter-in-law after work, anyway, after his daughter-in-law was opened by Wang Daxian last night, she immediately picked up a tael of silver, which was enough.
Sun Lao Wu was walking, and he met his neighbor Sun Gui, who was full of alcohol, and the latter greeted him with a smile: "Old Five, this is going to work?" ”
Sun Lao Wu was very disgusted with this lazy neighbor who was addicted to gambling, so he didn't say a word and didn't bother to look at it.
Sun Gui couldn't help but be angry and scolded: "Drag a fart, an idiot is stupid!" ”
Sun Lao Wu ignored him, and continued to move forward with the lunch, Sun Gui snorted the ground, and suddenly saw Sun Lao Wu's daughter-in-law standing at the door, and greeted him with a smile.
Sun Lao Wu's family frowned in disgust, turned around and wanted to return to the house, but who knew that Sun Gui's goods actually caught up with him with an arrow step, and reached out and touched Sun Lao Wu's buttocks.
Sun Lao Wujia screamed, blushing and scolding the hooligans.
Sun Gui blackmailed Li Yuanwai for ten taels of silver last night, and immediately went to the gambling house to play Tongxiao, but he almost lost his sperm, came out of the casino in a gray manner, ate a breakfast with the remaining dozens of dollars, and drank a pot of wine, at this time he was five or six points drunk, and said with a smile: "What's the matter, let Li Yuanwai and Wang Tang sleep, Lao Tzu can't touch his buttocks!" ”
Sun Lao Wu's face turned pale in an instant, and Sun Gui said triumphantly: "Hey, I secretly saw Wang Tang opening the light for you last night, and I also opened the light to Lao Tzu once, otherwise I will preach the ...... everywhere."
Before Sun Gui finished speaking, he heard a roar, and then he was hit hard in the back, and he fell on the spot with a hungry dog and grabbed, even his lips were broken, and the wine suddenly woke up a little.
Sun Gui looked back and was almost scared, it turned out that Sun Lao Wu had gone and returned at some point, and he was holding a sharp iron drill in his hand, which was used to burn glass.
"Sun Gui, what did you just say?" Sun Lao Wu stepped forward and stepped on Sun Gui's chest, and the iron drill was about to stab, his eyes were blood-red, like an angry beast.
The more honest people are, the more terrible it is to start a fire, especially those who are usually silent, and if they don't do it, they will be killed.
Sun Gui was scared, and said authentically: "Old Five, it's none of my business, it's Li Yuanwai and Wang Tang who sleep with your daughter-in-law, I just accidentally stole it!" ”
Sun Lao Wu roared and shouted: "Dare to lie to me, you will die!" ”
Sun Gui said loudly: "I definitely didn't lie to you, your daughter-in-law has a birthmark on her left buttocks, isn't it?" ”
Sun Lao Wu glanced back at his daughter-in-law who had already fallen to the ground, although he was honest, but he was not an idiot, he didn't need to ask to know that Sun Gui was telling the truth, and suddenly the whole person exploded, and slammed an iron hammer between Sun Gui's legs, so scared that the latter almost became incontinent.
Sun Lao Wu took out the iron drill, turned around and returned to the house to get a kitchen knife, the iron drill in his right hand, the kitchen knife in his left hand, and walked to the west of the town with red eyes.
Sun Gui had already woken up from alcohol at this time, and for fear of killing someone, he hurriedly ran to the inspection department to report the news.
It is said that although Yanshen Town is prosperous, it is only a town, and there are no administrative institutions such as yamen, but there is a patrol inspection department and a tax department to prevent theft.
Sun Lao Wu came to Wang Tang's house with a kitchen knife murderously, and slashed the door with a kitchen knife without saying anything.
"Who, knock on the door early in the morning!" One of Wang Tang's protectors scolded and ran to open the door, but when the courtyard door opened, a kitchen knife slashed him.
Sun Lao Wu estimated that he still had some sense, so he only cut off his arm, and the Dharma Protector fell to the ground with a scream, covering his bloody shoulder and groaning.
At this time, the other people in the room who heard the movement ran out and were all shocked to see this. When Sun Lao Wu saw the main Wang Tang, his eyes were immediately bloody, and he rushed forward with a roar, first smashing one person with an iron chisel and then slashing another with a kitchen knife.
Wang Tang was shocked and angry when he saw this, and rushed forward to grab Sun Lao Wu's hands, and the two scuffled together.
"Damn, come and help, hold him down!" Wang Tang resisted to the death while asking for help from others.
Several Dharma protectors who were not injured rushed up, and suddenly a miserable scream came from the panic, and the four suddenly quieted down, and the crowd slowly let go of their hands and dispersed, only to see that Sun Lao Wu's neck was gushing blood, and his legs were not moving after a few kicks, and his eyes that were open in anger gradually lost their brilliance.
It turned out that when everyone was entangled and scrambling just now, the sharp kitchen knife just cut Sun Lao Wu's carotid artery, and the blood rushed out in an instant.
"Big brother......!" The group of Dharma protectors looked at Wang Tang in fear, and the latter was still holding a blood-stained kitchen knife, and his face was cloudy.
After all, Wang Tang and the others have done the act of killing people and overstepping goods, and now they are naturally not too panicked when they kill people, but they used to kill people secretly, but now they are in the town, and if they are caught by the government, they will have to fill their lives, not to mention that their current identities are not visible.
Wang Tangzheng was in a state of confusion, but several people suddenly broke into the courtyard, and the leader was Sun Gui, and the other two were inspectors of the Inspection Division. It is said that Sun Gui happened to meet two patrolmen on the street, so he brought them here.
"Murder!" When Sun Gui saw Sun Lao Wu lying in a pool of blood, he immediately screamed in fright, and the two inspectors were stunned for a moment before they reacted, pulled out their waist knives and walked over, shouting: "Wang Tang, put down the kitchen knife!" ”
Wang Tang's mind turned, threw away the kitchen knife, and said with a smile: "Two poor brothers, this is all a misunderstanding, Sun Lao Wu broke in with a kitchen knife and cut people indiscriminately, I just wanted to restrain him, who knew that he accidentally cut his neck!" ”
When the two inspectors saw that Wang Tang had lost the kitchen knife, they were immediately relieved, and one of them took out the iron chain and sneered: "If you have anything to say, go back and tell the inspector!" ”
Wang Tang glanced at several of his protectors, and the two protectors kicked the patrol to the ground coldly, and Wang Tang took the opportunity to pick up the kitchen knife and rushed forward, stabbing the neck one by one, and killing the two inspectors.
Sun Gui was really scared this time, and stumbled out of the courtyard, shouting: "Murder, Wang Tang has rebelled!" ”
A Dharma protector picked up the patrolman's waist knife and chased after him, stabbed Sun Gui to death at the gate of the courtyard with a knife, quickly dragged the body in and killed the door, panting and saying, "Big brother, what now?" ”
Wang Tang's eyes were full of fierce light, and he gritted his teeth and said: "If you don't do two things, let's do the opposite, wealth and wealth are in danger, and Lao Tzu will never treat everyone badly if he succeeds." ”
Killing officers and soldiers is tantamount to rebellion, not to mention that Wang Tang is still the White Lotus Sect, and there is only one way to die in the hands of the government, so it is better to do a big vote.
At that moment, Wang Tang and the others immediately went out to gather the believers, and soon pulled a team of dozens of people, armed with all kinds of weapons to raid the inspection department, killed the chief and deputy inspectors, and seized a batch of weapons, and then killed the tax department to rob grain and silver.
It is said that most of the people who came to Yanshen Town to make a living are some poor landless and displaced people, coupled with the recent sharp rise in grain prices in Shandong Province, the life of these displaced people is even more difficult, Wang Tang robbed the tax department and the big households in the town, distributed grain and money, and immediately attracted a large number of displaced people to join, and in the afternoon, as many as 1,000 people joined the rebel team......
On August 20, the sixteenth year of Zhengde in the Ming Dynasty, miner Wang Tang launched an uprising in Yanshen Town, Qingzhou, Shandong, gathered thousands of miners and displaced people, killed the chief and deputy inspectors of the Yanshen Town Inspection Division, captured the Rui Affairs Division of Yanshen Town, and occupied the entire Yanshen Town.
On August 21, Wang Tang sent several surrounding counties, claiming to be the reincarnation of Maitreya Buddha to help the poor people, announced the official start of the army, resisted the tyranny and oppression of the imperial court, and led 3,000 troops to attack Laiwu County in the southwest of Yanshen Town, claiming to have an army of 30,000.
