On the eighteenth day of the lunar month, Datong City. It's early in the morning again.

Seven days have passed since the Tartars broke out of the Ming army and set up a battle line outside the city, but the offensive and defensive battle against Datong City has not yet begun. This situation is indeed a bit unexpected by everyone, whether it is an official, a soldier or a civilian, they are a little confused about the intentions of the Tartars outside the city.

The officials and soldiers were happy to see this, after all, it is difficult to say what it will become once the real war starts. But after seven days of such suffering, the people of the city finally couldn't hold it back.

Frightened, afraid that once the city of Datong was broken, he would be killed by the Tartars who came into the city - although Datong had never fallen, but there had never been tens of thousands of horses in Datong annihilated by the enemy - or secondly, the most unbearable thing for them was that their daily life had gradually fallen into a difficult situation.

All the gates of Datong were closed, so that everyone was trapped in them, and there was no material to be transported in, which caused the price of food and other goods in the city to skyrocket. In particular, the food that everyone has to eat, regardless of rice and noodles, has been rolling up and down in just seven days, and now it is more than three times more expensive than before.

The merchants in the city don't care about the overall situation, since things are scarce and expensive, and they have food in their hands, they naturally want to take the opportunity to make a fortune. And they also "smartly" set the amount of grain to be sold every day, and once the number was reached, they immediately closed the store, and the next day, the price of grain continued to rise, which naturally made ordinary people complain.

As for the other shops, changes have also been made in line with the increase in food prices, and although the people can barely pay now, it will only be a few days away, and I am afraid that most of the people's homes in the city will not be able to open the pot.

Naturally, the government is also clear about this. However, because of the previous defeats and the fact that they were not very popular, the antagonism between the people and the government was very serious, and Yang Zhen's Jinyiwei had caught a group of guys who were suspected of being meticulously worked by the people, which caused the people to be dissatisfied, which made Zhou Zechuan and other officials also a little jealous, and the matter actually dragged on.

Li Eryi got up early in the morning to look at the rice jar that had bottomed out, and then looked at his wife and children who were full of hope, and sighed unconsciously for a long time: "What is this?" The officials and soldiers didn't want to beat those Tartars out quickly, but they only knew how to blindly defend them, so that we, the people, would suffer with them. While speaking, he groped in the box for a while, but only found a few dozen copper coins.

Li Er originally made a living by helping idle businessmen, and he earned some hard-earned money after a year of hard work, so that his family could have enough food and clothing. I thought that I could live a few comfortable days in the lunar month, but I didn't expect such a change, and the money that the family was preparing for the New Year was used to buy daily use, but the result was still stretched, and the whole family was going hungry.

"Husband, what do you say you should do this day?" Mrs. Li looked at her son's haggard appearance, and tears flowed from her eyes, but she was a woman, and she couldn't come up with any ideas in this matter, so she could only ask her husband for help.

"I ...... I'm going to go out there and find a way. Li Er glanced at his wife, and after saying this, he fled out of the house. He is a dignified man but can't even support his wife and children, which really makes him feel very ashamed, and he even dare not face his family.

But what if you go out? Now except for the guard work in the city, all industries in Datong City have been abandoned, and everyone has nothing to do, only those grain shops are making a fortune. And with the little money Li Er has now, it is not enough for him to eat a full meal by himself.

"What to do? Am I going to watch them starve to death? Li Er's heart was dripping blood, his eyes wandered around the street without focus, and before he knew it, he walked in front of a grain store. In the past two days, he has run the most here, and he doesn't need any brains.

At this moment, a long line had formed in front of the grain shop, and in the shop, several men were listlessly announcing the price of grain to the people outside. Although the owner of the grain store made a lot of money this time, they hardly got any benefit from these part-time workers, even if they bought noodles by themselves, they could only buy noodles a little cheaper, which made them unable to cheer up.

As soon as the buyer heard today's grain price, his face suddenly changed and he shouted: "What? Today, a pound of noodles costs thirty copper coins? It's twice as high as yesterday, why don't you grab it? ”

As soon as these words came out, they immediately caused an uproar among the people behind them: "It's too much, how can you be like this, why is the flour that used to be less than five copper coins now asking for thirty?" ”

"That's it, hurry up and call your boss and ask him to lower the price, otherwise we will have to report to the official!"

"That's right, report to the officer! You're robbing, you're trying to kill us! ”

…… For a while, all kinds of complaints and abuses filled the entire space, and the momentum was really not small.

Just when the guys were a little overwhelmed, a merchant with a round body and two beards walked out with a big belly. Seeing that everyone looked like this, he glared at them, pointed at them and shouted, "What are you doing?" These grains are from my Huang family's grain shop, I can sell as much as I want, if you think it's expensive, you can not buy it, I didn't force you to buy it. But there is an ugly saying to be said in front, today is thirty Wen, and until tomorrow, maybe it will be how much it is a catty. When he said this, he just smiled, and did not take these poor people seriously at all, and wanted to turn away.

In the past seven days, his Boss Huang's life has really been very nourishing. The grain that was originally more than 100 taels of silver was sold for more than 300 taels of income. He was really grateful to the brother who gave him the idea, and it was because of the other party's suggestion that he was able to make so much money. The only thing that made him feel a little annoyed was that the grain in the previous two days had been sold cheaper, so he decided to sell it more expensively, so that he had to sell the grain for two hundred taels of silver for five hundred taels.

Just as he shook his head and was about to turn back to the courtyard behind him to rest, a voice sounded outside the shop: "Fathers, this guy is really black-hearted, this is going to force us all to death." In this case, let's be polite to him, just grab it. ”

"Yes, horizontal and vertical is a death, everything is better than starvation!"

These people were already full of uneasiness and annoyance, but now they have been ridiculed by Boss Huang for a long time, and they can't hold it back. As soon as they heard the words of these two people, everyone was stunned for a moment, and finally broke out.

"Rob, rob his mother's ......" accompanied by a foul word, and the first one had slammed into the façade of the grain store.

Immediately, the people behind also moved, and they all arched forward. The not thick façade of the grain shop was suddenly collapsed by everyone. Half with the rumbling and the screams of the guy, dozens of people rushed into the store, some reached for the bag containing the rice and noodles, and some went straight inside, the target was naturally the grain in the warehouse.

The fellow was only hit twice, and then he flashed to the side, and did not resist anything. He was already dissatisfied with his proprietor, and of course he would not help when he saw the anger of the public. Seeing this, Boss Huang was shocked and annoyed, and immediately screamed: "What are you going to do?" Come on, robbery! ”

But his screams didn't last long, and in a moment, he was knocked down by a punch, and then countless feet trampled over him, and he was trampled to death.

The restlessness, apprehension, and resentment that had accumulated over the days were completely ignited at this moment, and the good people became more fierce beings than anyone else, and in the blink of an eye, the entire grain store was swept away by them.

But there are really not many things in Boss Huang's grain shop, and there is not enough for them to grab. So someone shouted again: "Let's go, let's go to other grain stores to grab ......."

The people who had already been red-eyed didn't care about anything else, and immediately turned their heads and went to another grain store nearby. And Li Er is also mixed in this group of people, fighting violently for the survival of himself and his family.

When this tyrannical storm of looting blows, it can no longer be stopped. More and more people are looting on the streets, and more and more shops are being looted.

At first, it was only those grain shops, and then other shops also suffered, and even the homes of some wealthy families in the city became the target of looting by the common people, who had long been jealous of their wealth.

The looter's behavior became more and more terrifying, first robbing people, then injuring people, and finally some people lit fires, and suddenly thick smoke mixed with flames rose into the sky.

In just over half an hour, Datong City has fallen into a surprising chaos......

Outside the city, the Mongolian people camped.

When a burst of smoke suddenly rose from Datong City, Tuta had already received the report from his subordinates and rushed outside to take a closer look. At first glance, his face was suddenly covered with a smug smile: "Good, good!" Our guys have finally found an opportunity to do it. ”

In fact, in the past few days, the pressure on Tuta has also been quite large. The people below have been rejected by him several times to ask for battle and siege, but there is no movement in the city, and he is really afraid that the manpower he arranged will be taken by the Ming army in the city.

But now, looking at the fire and smoke that kept rising everywhere, he was completely relieved. Tuta was proud, and shook his head a little and said: "There is a sentence in the Han people's book that the worries of Ji Sun are not in the middle of the moment, but within the Xiao wall, and now the situation in Datong City is average." ”

Speaking of this, he waved his hand violently: "Pass my order, the whole army is ready to attack the city!" ”
