If it was said that several villagers finally couldn't bear to stand up because they saw an old woman injured, making Tian Ergeng feel that things were developing towards a better place, then when nearly a thousand villagers lost control, confronted the sergeant, and wanted to step forward to beat Zhang Ying, Tian Ergeng's first feeling was not relief but fear.

In the sixth year of the Apocalypse, Wei Zhongxian borrowed the upper sparse of Li Shi, the eunuch of Suzhou and Hangzhou weaving, and ordered Zhou Shunchang to be sent down to the prison, and Jinyiwei sent people to assist Dongchang to arrest, but it aroused the righteous indignation of Suzhou people, when tens of thousands of people in urban and rural areas gathered, surrounded the Dongchang Tiqi who arrested Zhou Sunchang, and the two Dongchang Tiqi were killed in public.

Tian Ergeng, who was the governor of Jinyi Wei at that time, naturally heard about this incident, but he just felt that these Dongchang Tiqi were mishandled when they were arrested, which caused a popular uprising.

Tian Ergeng was suspicious of the so-called tens of thousands of people gathering to make noise, causing Dongchang Tiqi to kneel on the ground in panic and beg for mercy.

For Tian Ergeng, who is accustomed to seeing the gentry and the common people submissive in front of the Jinyi Guard, and the second and third Ti Cavalry can make everyone in the capital bow their heads and avoid it, it is like a joke that someone dares to make noise in front of the Ti Cavalry.

And today, the noisy scene of less than 1,000 people finally let him know why Dongchang Tiqi was so panicked that he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy in Suzhou.

Looking at the black crushing human head like a flood, it drowned the brocade guards in red clothes and the soldiers in the Beijing camp in blue clothes. Looking at this scene, Tian Ergeng understood why the history books talked about the peasant uprising in a certain year of the dynasty, and the big scene often noted the sentence "One husband advocates chaos, and ten thousand husbands obey".

This noisy scene of less than a thousand people already made Tian Ergeng feel that he and his soldiers were like a small boat about to sink in a storm, and the scene of "Wanfu Jingcong" simply made him dare not imagine.

Tian Ergeng, who grew up under authority and order, was educated from an early age that power came from the gifts of the imperial court and the ethical order constructed with the scriptures of the saints.

Therefore, as a beneficiary of the ruling order, Tian Ergeng has always hated those who dared to challenge the ruling order.

However, he never understood the power of these popular uprisings that could challenge the ruling order.

But today, in front of him, a popular uprising that is almost out of control seems to be about to erupt. When these villagers were no longer afraid of the official uniforms that represented the imperial court, Tian Ergeng suddenly realized that after the power he relied on to represent the imperial court disappeared, he was just an ordinary person who could not do anything.

Tian Ergeng, who had never experienced this kind of scene at all, was completely at a loss at this moment, and could only watch with horror and fear, and the audience was getting louder and louder.

When Tian Ergeng was trembling on the stage, he couldn't even speak. The Jinyi guards and Jingying soldiers in the audience and around the audience were also inexplicably afraid of this group of villagers who began to be emotional.

The soldiers of Jinyiwei and Jingying have not been on the battlefield for many years, and Jinyiwei is quite calm, because they usually participate in some activities to arrest thieves in the capital, and they still have some experience in this kind of group confrontation.

However, the soldiers of the Beijing camp usually either guard the courtyards of the powerful and powerful, or are driven by these powerful people to build their own courtyards. Otherwise, they were requisitioned by the imperial court to build the roads and walls of the capital, and it can be said that these soldiers were more like a group of low-paid coolies, who had no experience in facing such scenes at all.

When Zhuang Ke was clamoring, Jin Yiwei barely held on and stopped in front of Zhuang Ke. The soldiers of the Beijing camp either retreated quietly, or did not dare to move, for fear that this group of villagers who had lost their minds would vent their resentment on themselves.

Moreover, the soldiers of Jinyiwei and Beijing Battalion went out of Beijing this time, and the order they received was not to quell the rebellion, and naturally they did not bring any heavy weapons, but just brought some short knives. When the soldiers of the Beijing camp retreated, the Jinyi guards of dozens of people were naturally staggered, and they could not suppress the sudden restlessness of Zhuang Ke.

At this time, both the Jinyi Guard and the soldiers of the Beijing camp began to look at Tian Ergeng on the stage frequently, hoping to get instructions for the next step.

However, Tian Ergeng's eyes were stunned, and he didn't give any instructions when he stood on the stage, which made the sergeants in the audience even more bottomless, and the movements in their hands became smaller and smaller.

Seeing that the Zhuang Ke were about to break through the defense line intercepted by the Jinyi Guard and the Jingying sergeant, and a big chaos was about to happen, Cui Yingyuan, who was standing on the side of the stage with a gong, finally couldn't bear it anymore.

After Tian Ergeng was demoted, the officials did not forget him, one of the members of Wei Zhongxian's Five Tigers.

Compared with Tian Ergeng, who only framed the scholars, he was bent on pursuing power. Cui Yingyuan, who was born in the market, is also very keen on goods, so there are quite a few cases of him embezzling the assets of businessmen with no background.

Chongzhen can endure Tian Ergeng, the Jinyi Governor who seizes power by a monk, but he has no tolerance for an official like Cui Yingyuan who has no bottom line.

Without Chongzhen's obstruction, Cui Yingyuan and the other two people of the Five Tigers, Sun Yunhe and Yang Huan, were immediately sent to Dali Temple for questioning.

After the interrogation, Dali Temple believed that the frontier should be dispatched. At that time, some Donglin Party members said that the sentence was too light and that they should be executed. Zhu Youzhen felt that it was wrong at the time, if Cui Yingyuan, Sun Yunhe, Yang Huan and others were capital crimes, then how should Wei Zhongxian and the others above them be dealt with.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhu Youzhen ordered the dismissal of the three of them from all positions and confiscation of the stolen money, but retained the military status of Jinyiwei. So that the Donglin party could not continue to expand the attack on the eunuch party members through the trial of the three.

This Yang Huan is Tian Ergeng's henchman, Tian Ergeng made a desperate bet to Chongzhen and surrendered, and after getting a chance to recover, he naturally would not forget to pull Yang Huan along.

Among the five tigers, Cui Yingyuan and Yang Huan are the most like-minded. From Yang Huan, Cui Yingyuan heard that Tian Ergeng had received His Majesty's consent and had a chance to recover again, so he found Tian Ergeng with a dead face, completely forgetting that he was in Jinyiwei that day and took the lead in betraying Tian Ergeng's past.

Yang Huan said from it, and Cui Yingyuan said, "Now that Donglin is powerful, if we don't stay together to keep warm, I'm afraid that I will really die in the coming day and have no place to bury" Yunyun finally let Tian Ergeng re-accept Cui Yingyuan.

Despite this, Cui Yingyuan is no longer the commander who can compete with Tian Ergeng in Jinyi Wei at this time, but only a lowest-level Jinyi sergeant. In addition, he was not treated by Tian Erplough, so he had to have a job to open the road and clear the field.

However, Cui Yingyuan, who has been rolling in the market since he was a child, is not only not annoyed, but is busy all day long, and he can only go to Tian Ergeng.

Today's gathering of the bankers, Cui Yingyuan's task is to call the bankers by beating the gong, and to beat the gong on the stage as needed.

When the dealers broke out emotionally, trying to break through the obstruction of the sergeants in the audience, and directly retaliated against these Zhuangtou and their companions, and the venue was about to lose order and cause a big chaos, Cui Yingyuan suddenly felt that this was a good time for him to take the position.

He ran to Tian Ergeng in three steps and two steps, and whispered to Tian Ergeng, who was standing in a daze: "Tian Dudu, Lord Dudu, now you have to give an order, this is not the time to be in a daze." If it drags on, I'm afraid the sergeants below will break up. ”

Tian Ergeng woke up like a dream, and he said with a little mastery: "It's to give an order, what order should be given now..."

Cui Yingyuan didn't care whether Tian Ergeng was talking to himself or asking himself. He quickly whispered close to Tian Ergeng's ear: "It's better to let the sergeants retreat now, throw these village heads and companions to these villagers, and wait until their mood is stable, and then the governor will slowly figure it out." ”

Cui Yingyuan's idea is not new, in the twenty-ninth year of Wanli, on the sixth day of the sixth month of June, in Suzhou City, more than 2,000 hungry and angry silk weaving craftsmen rushed out of the Xuanmiao Temple and Taoist Temple, led by a mechanic named Ge Cheng, launched the "Weaving Maid Change".

The spearhead of this popular uprising was the Suzhou and Hangzhou weaving eunuch Sun Long and his tax collectors, tax officials Huang Jianjie and Xu Yichun were killed on the spot by the people of the civil uprising, and the residences of some tax officials in Suzhou were also burned down.

In the end, almost the whole city of Suzhou was moved, and at that time, the Suzhou government and county only had a few dozen arresters in their hands, and they were unable to suppress this popular uprising. In the end, the magistrate escorted the tax officials Tang Xin and Xu Cheng to the Xuan Miao Temple, and let the masses beat them to death, so that the people who participated in the riot vented their long-accumulated anger, and this was the solution to the popular uprising.

Tian Ergeng naturally knew about it, and Cui Yingyuan mentioned it slightly, and he also thought of it.

He was about to promise Cui Yingyuan and raise his hand to let Yang Huan, who was in charge of commanding the sergeants, lead the team to evacuate, when he suddenly stopped.

Cui Yingyuan said a little anxiously: "Governor, what are you still hesitating about, if you delay any longer, I'm afraid that these villagers will turn their anger on us, and when they fall to the left, they will cause a civil uprising in the vicinity of Gyeonggi, and we will really have no way to live." ”

Tian Ergeng's face turned blue and white for a while, and suddenly he turned his head to Cui Yingyuan and said, "It's not like this, you don't understand." ”

He gritted his teeth, snatched the gong from Cui Yingyuan's hand and struck it. "Dang, dang, dang...", a series of rapid gongs suddenly attracted the attention of the crowd in the audience, and the bankers who were originally pushing each other with the sergeants suddenly stopped.

Tian Ergeng knew that he only had a short moment to speak, and when the brief hesitation of these villagers had passed, then no one could silence these fanatics except for a large number of armored sergeants.

He carefully recalled what Chongzhen had said in the palace at the beginning, and how to guide the emotions of the crowd in this situation.

Tian Ergeng's face turned red, and he stammered and shouted: "Fathers and fellow villagers, please listen to me..."
