The grain was continuously transported from the Ma family's cellar. The Ma family's cellar was stockpiled a lot of food because it cost 5,000 taels of silver to buy it, enough for a thousand people to eat it for a year.

However, according to Zhu Yuanzhang's instructions, Li Chujiu did not transport all of them, but only moved hundreds of bags from it. The grain was moved to the door of the mansion. Zhu Yuanzhang cut the grain bag with a knife, and with a clamor, the grain was poured out of it. Several poor people standing nearby quickly came up and held it with their hands, shouting: "Oh, it almost spilled...can't be wasted."

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said, "Friends, brothers, I just went into the mansion and asked for the food from the second young master of the Ma family... The Ma family is quite reasonable. I asked her for it and she gave it to me!"

The people laughed together: "So many of us surround her home, how dare she not give it?"

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said, "Friends, the Ma family's food is still too small. There are only a few hundred bags. What can we do? There are two thousand people here, and each person can only get a small handful. This little food is far from enough! If we want to eat enough and not starve to death, we have to do even bigger..."

"County town, warehouse! Go there and bring out all the food in the warehouse!" Zhu Yuanzhang shouted: "There are the autumn fu we paid there, and those are our hard-earned money. Let's take it back."

"Yes! Get back our hard-earned money!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw the people's emotions rising, he was still a little worried that they would lose control, so he added: "Remember, we are rebels, not bandits, don't rob people when they see them, burn houses when they see them... We can kill corrupt officials, but don't deal with good people. We can rob rich families, and just ask them for food. Don't rush in and burn, kill and loot. Those things are only done by bandits."

"Yes, let's listen to Brother Zhu!" Most people are still kind after all. They came to the rebellion and uprising just to survive, and did not want to become robbers who killed and robbed people. When Zheng Yanfu's uprising, the good people became bandits in a blink of an eye. The reason was that Zheng Yanfu lacked constraints on them and did not consider the dark side of human nature, and indulged them to become out-of-control butchers. However, Zhu Yuanzhang has been trying to control their emotions so that they should not be too irritated. Even when killing officials, there is a hint of clarity in his heart.

Among these rioters, only a few rascals disagreed with Zhu Yuanzhang's words. They secretly had the idea of ​​robbing and enjoying it. Zhu Yuanzhang was inconvenient to deal with such people now, so he could only see them secretly and keep them in his heart, and then deal with them slowly in the future.

After the people cleaned up the grain that Zhu Yuanzhang moved out of the Ma family, they began to rush towards the * County. Zhu Yuanzhang left a hundred of his confidants and guarded the Ma family courtyard, because there were still a large amount of grain reserves here, so they could not be discarded in this accident. He himself led Wang Er and other confidants to continue to march towards the * County.

The closer they get to * County, the more dense the villages are. Every time they pass by a village, Zhu Yuanzhang's team will expand a little more, because the poor people saw the rebels rushing towards * County, listening to their shouts, even idiots know what will happen next. Many people have the idea of ​​not being able to survive anyway, and they have mixed into the team with the idea of ​​grabbing some food, making the team bigger and bigger.

Not long after, the rioters passed by a luxurious mansion, which was the house of Li, Baishui. Li was also a famous squire in Baishui. There was also a Jinshi pole in front of the door. The family's financial resources were worse than that of the Ma family, but they were not much worse. They were a well-known wealthy family.

Before Zhu Yuanzhang issued an order, a large group of rioters rushed over and surrounded the Li family's courtyard. This was a major drawback of the peasant uprising, because most of the rioters rebelled on impulse to listen to Zhu Yuanzhang's words. The entire team lacked organizational discipline and was not as good as the army. They would often do things that were out of control and do their own things without waiting for the leader's orders.

These people spontaneously surrounded the Li family courtyard and then shouted loudly: "Li family, come out...Li family, come out..."

The people of the Li family dared not come out. The chaotic people danced wildly outside. This scene was like the doomsday for the gentry class. The gate of the Li family courtyard was closed tightly, and stones and tables and chairs were placed behind the door. Some Li family servants appeared nervously on the wall with swords and guns in their hands, posing as if they were facing a great enemy.

The rich gentry of this era trained servants to protect the hospital and had some low combat power. The wealthy families like the Li family usually had more than 70 or 80 servants. If they were given some time to spend money to recruit rural bravery, they could gather a militia team of five or six hundred or even thousands.

In fact, no matter which era of peasant uprising, they often have to fight against these gentry armed forces. For example, the very famous "Song Gongming's three-match against Zhujiazhuang" in "Water Margin" was actually the Liangshan bandits fighting against a gentry surnamed Zhu. What was the result? The result was that Liangshan fought three times before Zhujiazhuang was settled! For example, the Zengtou City, led by the King of Tota, Chao Gai, was also a small town controlled by the gentry, but Chao Gai was killed...

From this we can see how difficult it is to deal with the squire, it is not something you can say that you can handle it just by doing it.

Here, we have to mention a small incident that happened in the "Three Fights Zhujiazhuang". In this story, a tragic woman named Hu Sanniang appeared! The people from Liangshan killed Hu Sanniang's fiancé Zhu Biao, and also killed her parents and family. Finally, they captured Hu Sanniang alive and forced her to marry Wang Aihu. This is simply a bad behavior of killing the whole family and snatching people to warm the bed. From this we can see that it is more appropriate for Liangshan heroes to be changed to Liangshan bandits.

Due to the bad behavior of the bandits, the gentry fought against the peasant uprising army more fiercely. Their sense of confrontation was even stronger than that of the officers and soldiers. It was really a fuss and would block it! This incident also became a beautiful landscape in the peasant uprising in the late Ming Dynasty. Wherever the bandits went, everyone in the country gentry shouted and beat them, which scared the bandits to run around in panic, like a broken dog. They fled for more than ten years before slowly turning over with the power of the drought.

The rioters surrounded the Li family courtyard at this time, and there was a bit of the Liangshan bandits attacking Zhujiazhuang. In the village, a group of servants in green clothes and hats protected the courtyard, holding weapons in their hands and guarding the walls. A large number of rioters outside were waving messy farm tools and shouting.

Both sides glared for a while, and a few rioters rushed to the door and kicked the Li Mansion's door with their feet. A wardrobe on the wall smashed a stone down, and almost hit the rioters who kicked the door. They scared the rioters in front of the door so that they shook back. Then someone in the crowd shouted: "Who has a hunting bow on his hand? Shoot inside... Shoot inside..."

"Is there a ladder? Let's climb into the wall..."

"Look for any dog ​​holes, just get in!"

Seeing these unconventional manifestations of the rioters, Zhu Yuanzhang was not surprised. The rebel army he had just summoned in his previous life was actually the same, but after several years of training, he eventually became a lion sweeping the Yuan army. These people are just lacking control now and can be expected in the future.

He took a deep breath and shouted loudly: "Brothers... don't mess around, listen to me!"

There were turbulent people, and his voice was not far away, but Wang Er and more than 100 confidant soldiers around him heard it. They shouted in unison: "Brothers... don't be confused, listen to Brother Zhu..."

One hundred people shouted in unison, with a shocking momentum, and immediately suppressed the voices of the rioters. Even the servants in the Li family compound were shocked by the roar, and the scene suddenly became quiet.

"What are the bad deeds of this Li family?" Zhu Yuanzhang reached out and pointed to the Li family's door and shouted: "Who comes out to tell me what the Li family has done that is harmful to the world?"

The people looked at each other, and after a long time, no one could say it. It turned out that the Li family was just like the Ma family, and it was also a family of knowledgeable and knowledgeable knowledge, and did not oppress the people.

Some viewers may have been brainwashed by some propaganda from later generations, thinking that ancient landlords were very evil and bullied good people to play with them without any problems. What about Yang Bailao and Xiao Baicai. The poor are so hard, and the rich are so bad. In fact, this view has certain misunderstandings.

The ancients were very famous. For their own reputation, landlords and gentry actually did not like to do evil things, but instead liked to do good things.

If we do not read the false propaganda of a certain dynasty, but directly read some novels and story books from the Ming Dynasty, we can see that the gentry such as Wang Dashan, Li Dashan, Zhang Dashan and other gentry that often appear in novels and story books are the favorite thing to do is to build bridges and pave roads, and to give porridge and spend money, which is better for the people than the government. Everyone knows that novels are based on life. If these novels from the Ming Dynasty are not worth referring to, then the false propaganda of a certain dynasty is even less worth referring to.

Of course, I am not here to clear the grievances of the gentry, because there are still bad gentry and bad landlords, and there are many. I just want to explain that there are also good gentry and good landlords, and there are also many. Good and bad people in this world must not be divided by their class. For example, when we were in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, whether it is good or bad, it is wrong to defeat all the people of a certain class. I will think about it again, whether this method is good or bad, it doesn't count. Let's leave it to history to evaluate it.

"What are the bad deeds of the Li family? Who can tell me?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked loudly again.

The rioters remained silent and couldn't speak.

Zhu Yuanzhang slowly shook his head and said, "I'll say again, we are not bandits, robbers, we are rebels! It's a just army. We only deal with bad people, not good people... Since the Li family has no bad records, we cannot deal with them with swords, guns, bows and arrows."

The emotions of the rioters were slightly suppressed by him again.

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head and shouted loudly to the Li family courtyard: "Please go up to the wall and say a few words..."
