It was the tenth day of the fourth month of the first year of Chongzhen, at Chen hour.

A slightly relaxed look finally appeared on Wu Zongrui's face. Liao Wenru secretly sent news that the team led by King Duotian bypassed the location of the Wu family and headed towards Anyuan County.

The first step of the plan was a complete success.

Wiping away the cold sweat on his forehead, Wu Zongrui did not dare to relax at all. The whole plan became more and more critical as it progressed.

Wu Zongrui couldn't imagine how this first step of the plan could be successful, but what reassured him was that King Duotian was not a man of great talent and strategy, and his judgment in some aspects was correct.

This matter, if it were me, it would never be like this, and I would definitely implement it according to the original plan.

The team of King Seizing Heaven, still numbering a thousand people, passed through Jiangshan Township and did not recruit anyone. However, the elders of Jiangshan Township, some Li Zheng and grain collectors had their homes looted. In the chaos, some people were

kill.

King Suotian's next plan is to plunder Anyuan County.

Liao Wenru sent a very crucial and core message. After plundering Anyuan County, King Suotian was preparing to stick to Anyuan County and deal with the government.

This was expected by Wu Zongrui. He knew that the peasant rebels in the late Ming Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty had no foresight. All they saw was money. They underestimated their own strength. A slight success would lead to extreme expansion.

After thinking about the entire plan again, Wu Zongrui became slightly calmer.

Whatever you gain, you must lose something. The three brothers of the Luo family knew about this plan from the beginning to the end. Even if they are stupid, they can eventually understand the mystery of it.

This also means that after Wu Zongrui took this step, it was impossible to look back.

Unknowingly, Wu Zongrui, who had traveled only two months, had already taken a crucial step. He didn't know whether the golden avenue or an abyss was ahead, so he could only try his best to take every step.

For a long time to come, Wu Zongrui must adapt to the environment. When he does not have enough strength, he must keep his tail between his legs and not be too high-profile. Once he has enough ability, he must show his prowess and start to take control.

everything.

April 12, noon.

"Master, this is the letter sent by Brother Liao..."

Looking at the letter in Luo Dianzhao's hand, Wu Zongrui broke out in a cold sweat. He had repeatedly emphasized that he should not write letters unless he had to, otherwise he would fall into the hands of others and expose himself. However, Liao Wenru still wrote a letter. It seemed that the situation was serious.

for emergency.

Luo Dianzhao stayed outside, while Wu Zongrui closed the bedroom door and opened the letter with some urgency.

...

"This Shen Kefeng, no wonder he was punished by the court. The sergeants guarding the city gate were beheaded, and the garrison yamen called the police. They still didn't believe that there was a mob causing trouble, so they decided that there were unruly people causing trouble. When the mob started looting in the city,

I didn't know how to organize the sergeants to fight back, but I took the lead in escaping from the county government to save my own life. If such an official falls into my hands, he will definitely be beheaded..."

Wu Zongrui burned the letter and shook his head slightly.

In fact, Shen Kefeng had the opportunity to suppress the King of Seizing Heaven. When a riot broke out in the city, he promised a heavy reward and mobilized the sergeants guarding the Yamen to resist the mob. In any case, the sergeants guarding the Yamen were more capable than the mob. If the sergeants failed to do their job, then what would happen?

Let the sergeants stick to the county government office and ask for help from the Ganzhou government office.

If the sergeant is really unable to resist, he will evacuate the county government at that time.

As he continued to think, Wu Zongrui had a wry smile on his face. He found that he was too naive and idealistic. The county government belonged to the imperial court, and the county seat also belonged to the imperial court, but his life was his own. If the county government office was lost, the county seat would be lost. The worst case scenario is that I will no longer be an official, but if my life is lost, I will have nothing.

A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.

In the late Ming Dynasty, too many civil and military officials did this. When faced with a dangerous situation, the first thing they thought of was to save their own lives. Except for a few unlucky officials who were beheaded by the court, most of them were dismissed from office.

This is actually a sign of defeat. The so-called belief that civil servants do not love money and military generals are not afraid of death has long been forgotten.

After shaking his head again, Wu Zongrui looked at the burning ashes in trance.

He concluded that the mob under the command of King Duotian was still afraid of the county government. They did not have basic military literacy and could not persist for a long time. Once they failed to attack, they might retreat. Even King Duotian could not persuade them to stop. .

In other words, as long as Shen Kefeng sticks to the county government, the opportunity will come.

This idea is just an afterthought. Anyuan County has failed, and the next most critical plan is about to be implemented.

"Master, Master Lin is here..."

Wu Zongrui gathered his thoughts and walked out of the house.

Wu Zonglin had already arrived at the door. When he saw Wu Zongrui, he had no time to say hello and spoke eagerly.

"Zong Rui, I heard that the county government was captured by a mob. How could such a thing happen..."

"Oh, brother Zong Lin heard something."

"I just heard about it. It was said by people who escaped from the county seat. They said that a mob attacked the county seat and took over the county government office. When I got the news just now, I remembered what you said a few days ago. .”

"Brother Zong Lin, I just said it casually. I didn't expect the mob to attack the county seat."

"I know this. Neither you nor I can imagine such a thing. We don't know where this mob came from. Is it related to what happened in Hushan Township?"

"How could Brother Zong Lin have such an idea?"

"I just thought of it at random. Didn't you say that there was something strange going on in Hushan Township? You asked Wenru and the Luo brothers to go take a look. I wonder if they brought any news."

"No, I have been waiting for news from them."

"Well, Zong Rui, if there is any news about Wenru and the Luo brothers, you must tell me."

"Definitely, I will definitely tell you if there is any news."

At this time, Wu Zongrui hesitated a little, whether he should remind Wu Zonglin a little.

King Duotian was encircled and suppressed by the imperial army. When he evacuated Anyuan County, he would definitely pass by Xinlong Township and return to Hushan Township. This time I am afraid he would not bypass the seat of the Wu family. If Wu Zongrui's plan fails, Then the Wu family will definitely encounter revenge and plunder from King Suitian. Without any preparation, the family will definitely suffer a big loss, and some people may even be killed.

If Wu Zonglin were to remind him, Wu Zonglin would definitely think of the reason, and Wu Zongrui would not be able to explain it at that time.

The inner conflict made Wu Zongrui a little distracted. After all, he was not a hard-hearted person.

"Zong Rui, what's wrong? Are you feeling a little uncomfortable? I heard that you have been reviewing your homework recently. I know that reviewing your homework is more energy-consuming than working in the fields. You should pay attention to rest."

"It's nothing. I'm a little tired from reviewing my homework, but since the time for the provincial examination is coming soon, I don't dare to delay my homework."

"That's right. Mr. Zeng often said that there is a road to the mountain of learning and diligence is the path, and there is no limit to the sea of ​​learning and the boat is hard work. There will always be some hardships."

Hearing what Wu Zonglin said, Wu Zongrui made up his mind and gave him a slight reminder, but he needed to pay attention to his words.

"Brother Zong Lin, I just thought of something. Although the possibility is not very high, I still need to be prepared."

"Zong Rui, what did you think of?"

"The mob attacked the county government. How could the court ignore such a big thing? They will definitely send a large army to encircle and suppress it. I think these mobs will be completely surrounded and suppressed, but there is always a possibility. What if these mobs escape from the county seat?

Xinlong Township is only more than thirty miles away from the county seat. Our Wu family is on both sides of the official road. If the mob really escapes here..."

Before Wu Zongrui finished speaking, Wu Zonglin's face turned a little pale.

"Why didn't I think of it? No, I think we will send people to the county to have a look. If the mob really comes to Xinlong, the family must be prepared..."

Wu Zongrui's body trembled slightly, and what he was worried about turned out to be true.

Liao Wenru, Luo Dianming and Luo Dianyong are all beside King Duotian. Although they try their best to hide their identities and will never show their faces on weekdays, anything is possible. If the people sent by Wu Zonglin to investigate discover Liao Wenru and others,

The plan was fully exposed.

"Brother Zong Lin, I don't think it's easy to send people to the county seat. The mob has attacked the county seat and has nothing to worry about. If the people sent are caught by the mob and tell the truth about our Wu family, I'm afraid the mob will attack immediately.

Our Wu family and the imperial army will not rush to the county seat so quickly. At that time, even if we are prepared, we will not be able to stop the mob's attack. You must know that they captured the county seat, and our Wu family cannot compare.

county seat."

Wu Zonglin nodded repeatedly.

"What I'm saying is that if you hadn't reminded me, I might have made a big mistake. Zong Rui, what do you think we should do?"

"The outside is loose and the inside is tight. What we need to do now is to strengthen the security of the house. In any case, the mob will not specifically target our Wu family. Even if the mob barely escapes and passes through Xinlongli, as long as we hold on tightly

If the house is surrounded, the mob will have nothing to do. Besides, the imperial army will definitely chase the mob. At that time, all the mob will think about is running for their lives, and they will not have so much time to attack the house."

"That's right, Zong Rui, thank you for reminding me. I'll go back and make arrangements right now. Why don't you follow me to the meeting hall and we'll discuss it carefully."

"I won't go. This is all a plan you came up with, Brother Zong Lin. What will it matter if I go?"

Wu Zonglin was stunned for a moment.

"Zong Rui, thank you."

"No, Brother Zong Lin, I have already told you that I will not get involved in family matters."

Wu Zonglin nodded, stood up and was about to leave. When he walked to the door, he suddenly thought of something and turned around after hesitation.

"Zong Rui, do you think Zong Kun can still do things in the county government?"

"I don't know about this, but I think Zong Kun will definitely be able to do things in the county government. He is very lucky this time. If he hadn't returned to Xinlong to teach Tianfu, I don't know what kind of danger he would have faced.
