Chapter 709 Jiugong Mountain
Li Zicheng was the success and Liu Zongmin, and Liu Zongmin was the defeat. Liu Zongmin once helped him escape from difficulties and killed his wife, but went to the capital but raped and robbed and committed many evil deeds. It can be said that Liu Zongmin was a killing star from heaven.
In the name of recovering stolen money and helping pay, Liu Zongmin sent people to make 5,000 pairs of sticks within a few days and detained thousands of officials in his general's mansion. He asked all civil and military officials to pay the prescribed money and tortured the officials.
If hesitated, he either made a gun or a stick. He led the soldiers into the homes of all officials in Beijing, dug three feet into the ground to search for gold and silver, and instigated the soldiers to insult the officials' female family. His family would not kill them on the spot by cutting the knife and axe. Under such cruel pressure, Liu Zongmin killed nearly 10,000 people in the activity of recovering stolen goods and helping the money, and confiscated a huge wealth of 70 million taels of silver.
The 20th volume of Ji Liuqi's "Beijing Luan" records: When soldiers enter a residential house, they first say borrowing a pot, and after a while, they say borrowing a bed to sleep; after a while, they say borrowing your wife, daughter and sister as their companions. Those who hide, they take the man to search everywhere, and they have to stop. If they love him, they hold him on the horse. If they don't follow him, they will die, and those who are unwilling to be despised will die; those who are unbearable will die. More than 370 women died in Anfu Hutong one night. Both the wife and concubines will be surrendered.
When the soldiers entered the people's homes, they first said they had to borrow a pot to cook. After a while, they said they would borrow a bed to sleep, and they also said they would borrow a wife, girls and women to accompany them. They suspected that some people were hiding, so they held the man around the house to search, but they would not stop if they could not find it. When they saw the woman they liked, they would kill them on the spot, and those who were obedient were killed on the spot, and those who were obedient were killed in Anfu Hutong one night, and the wives and concubines of the officials who surrendered to Dashun were not spared.
Once the devil opens up his inner demon, he will go anywhere he goes.
What's so bad is that Li Zicheng did not stop all this from happening. Perhaps he felt that he could not bring anything to his subordinates now, so he had to let them rage.
Moreover, they have not done this before. When they captured a city, they still burned, killed, looted.
Several country women cried sadly, and their relatives died at the hands of the evil thieves in front of them. A woman screamed and rushed towards Liu Zongmin and bit him.
Liu Zongmin might as well be bitten by the other party. The dark and rough country woman farmed all year round and had a great strength. For a moment, Liu Zongmin couldn't break free.
Suddenly, Liu Zongmin's ears were painful, and the woman was holding half of her ear in her mouth.
Liu Zongmin has been on the battlefield for many years and has suffered countless injuries, but he has not lacked any part. However, in this unknown mountain village, his half-pulled ear was bitten off.
Liu Zongmin was furious and drew his sword to kill the woman. The remaining women gritted their teeth and rushed towards everyone with their teeth and claws.
They were bare-handed and unarmed, but they rushed forward with their lives. It was just because their families died tragically at the hands of these demons, and the women shouted and scolded wildly.
Liu Zongmin and the others were completely angry and killed the women one by one. Liu Zongmin covered his bloody ears and slashed at the dead women one by one...
This nameless small mountain village is just a microcosm of their atrocities.
In the following days, Li Zicheng led them to various places. They were sparsely crowded, so they tried their best to avoid the villages and towns that they had fought, and only dared to attack those remote mountain villages.
And it is not an exaggeration to describe where they pass by.
Li Zicheng also thought about copying the previous model, and wherever he went, he robbed the rich and helped the poor. Then, he recruited soldiers and bravely used it for his own use.
However, there are so-called big families in these places. Even if there are, their desire to recruit soldiers has failed.
Today is different from the past. There are no more people who can rebel with them. Even if someone is forced into the team by Li Zicheng, these people found that Li Zicheng was doing burning, killing, looting, and ran away soon.
At the most, Li Zicheng did indeed bring up a team of nearly 100 people. This time he saw hope, and he thought that his chance to make a comeback had come.
But soon, these people fled late at night. Li Zicheng's team could not keep anyone at all. This made Li Zicheng very angry. Now they found that it was indeed different from before.
Before, when they rebelled, they would kill the rich and help the poor, and the people who surrendered nearby gathered. It didn't take long before he could pull up a team of many people. Then, the team became bigger and bigger like snowballs.
But now it is different, and now it is different from the past. Li Zicheng's actions also attracted Zhu Cixuan's attention, but although the bandits were pacified, there were still many remnants of bandits in the local area, and the local area could only spare no effort to continue to encircle and suppress.
Zhu Cilang just thought that this was a small remnant force of bandits, and did not expect that the other party was Li Zicheng.
On that day, Li Zicheng and thirty or forty people around him touched a place called Jiugong Mountain.
That’s right, Jiugong Mountain in Xianning. History is always amazingly similar. Now, Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin and his group have gone around and finally arrived here again.
In this era, chaos was everywhere, bandits and scattered soldiers were rampant, and mountain people established self-defense groups based on villages and protected villages.
These militia forces organized by local armed forces are called Chazi by the people.
At this time, Li Zicheng did not expect that what was about to be greeted would be a real death. Li Zicheng, who began with the rebellion of the peasants, would eventually die at the hands of the peasants.
Here, the villager spontaneously organized Chazi by the villagers in Jiugongshan. Leaded by a man named Cheng Jiubo, the territory has not been peaceful recently and bandits are often in trouble. The Chazi of this Lianhua Village organizes militias day and night to patrol the village.
"I heard that, Zhangjia Village next door was slaughtered. That was a tragic thing, and the chickens and dogs that were killed in the village were not kept."
"There are only a dozen families in that village. Zhangjia Village is so poor that it sounds like a gang of bandits. They are too cruel. They even robbed that place."
"No, you say they just rob them, why do you kill everyone? These evil bandits deserve to die."
"Brother Jiu, do you think these bandits will come to our village?" A young man holding a spear rushed to the front and asked Chazi's leader, Uncle Cheng.
Cheng Jiubo scratched his head: "It's hard to say, but you'll be careful. You all have your eyes open for me. These bandits who came out of nowhere are cruel. We must protect our village."
Although there are quite a few militiamen, they have never fought a war, let alone killed people. The bandits are cruel and everyone is nervous.
Rumble... A burst of lightning and thunder, and the rain as big as beans in the sky fell.
