Chapter 7 The Yellow Turban Uprising

After the old man finished drinking the porridge, he entered the mansion. There was only one male old man staring at the porridge in the bowl. Xie Chengbin thought something was wrong. Not only Xie Chengbin was looking at the old man, but many soldiers and many refugees were also looking at him.

When Xie Chengbin was about to come forward to consult, the old man slowly drank the porridge in the bowl. After drinking it, he put down the bowl and knelt down to Xie Chengbin. "The envoy is unparalleled and righteous. It's ridiculous that I had mistakenly thought that the envoy was an unfilial person. I am here to apologize to the envoy!"

"Brother-in-law, please get up quickly. Anyone who sees me this for the first time will think so. Don't blame yourself!" Xie Chengbin helped the old man up.

After the old man got up, he bowed to Xie Chengbin and then entered the county government.

When the second group of people came forward to drink porridge, Liu Tao and the middle-aged man came on their backs, put down the middle-aged man, and briefly explained the whole story of the incident to Xie Chengbin. Seeing that the middle-aged man was still bleeding on his forehead, Xie Chengbin didn't think much about it, so he asked the three of them to follow him into the mansion.

When I arrived at the lobby, I ordered someone to get hot water and boil ginger soup, and found a clean cloth to stop the bleeding of the middle-aged man.

"The envoy is the prefect of the country and county. How can you be busy with the people? Let's go and do other things quickly." It may be due to excessive blood loss. The middle-aged man's face was very pale, and the middle-aged man was thin, which made people worry about whether he could survive tonight.

"It is because I am the prefect of the country and county, and I want to ask for the people, so don't refuse!" Xie Chengbin said it many times, and half of the meaning was false.

What Xie Chengbin’s thinking means: I will help you live better, you will help me change history and cooperate.

The middle-aged man was shocked when he heard this and knelt down to Xie Chengbin. "I am the first name of Gao and Xu, and my courtesy name is Boyang. I once worked in a private school. If the envoy does not dislike him, I would like to serve the work of a dog or a horse for the envoy."

"Brother Boyang, don't ask the lord to be so unfamiliar, just call me my name. My surname is Xie Cheng and my courtesy name is Zibin." Xie Chengbin helped Gao Xu up and saw that Gao Xu was about to speak, so he added another sentence. "Does Brother Boyang want to say that etiquette should not be abandoned or joked? Keep etiquette in his heart and respect each other. Also, don't kneel down in the future."

"Here!" Gao Xu was speechless by Xie Chengbin, and opened his mouth but didn't know what to say. Since the lord said that, he had to obey.

Xie Chengbin personally wiped the wound on Gao Xu's forehead with a piece of cloth soaked in boiling water, and then wrapped it with a cloth. "Brother Boyang rest more, I won't disturb you."

"Drink! Drink! Drink..." On the school ground, more than 3,000 newly recruited recruits were undergoing training, and most of these people were refugees.

The training content is quite monotonous, nothing more than holding a gun or halberd and poking forward and chopping. Even if the training is monotonous, their movements are uneven. Dian Wei sighed and shook his head.

Xie Chengbin came to the General Station and watched the soldiers below wield their weapons hard, thinking about how to improve their combat effectiveness.

In addition to military strategy, war requires the strength and endurance of the soldiers. Dian Wei next to him asked the soldiers to stop. Dian Wei walked to the war drum and slowly beat the war drum. "Dong, dong, dong..."

When the soldiers heard the drums, they quickly gathered, gathered and stood in a row.

"The soldiers, you all join the army because of food and clothing. Do you want to eat meat today?" Xie Chengbin shouted loudly, and his voice spread throughout the schoolyard.

"I think!" "I think." "I think" and the soldiers' answers were sparse and uneven.

This result made Xie Chengbin very dissatisfied and shouted loudly again. "Does only some people want to eat meat? Do you want to or don't, answer me!"

"Think." This time the soldiers' answers were much more neat, and more people answered, with louder voices.

Xie Chengbin was still dissatisfied and shouted with all his strength. "Are you all wives? Just yell at me if you are a man!"

"I want to!" The soldiers first shouted out the result Xie Chengbin wanted.

Some soldiers raised their weapons and shouted that they wanted to eat meat. More and more soldiers followed the trend. Finally, the soldiers in the entire school shouted. "I want to eat meat! I want to eat meat! I want to eat meat..."

Xie Chengbin was quite satisfied with this result and waved his hand to signal everyone to stop. "There is indeed meat to eat today, but only a thousand people can eat meat! Everyone held weapons and started running from the east gate. They ran around the entire county town and returned to the schoolyard. All the first thousand people have meat to eat! Remember! Don't push others, start now!"

"Dongdongdongdongdong..." Xie Chengbin fell, and Dian Wei beat the rapid sound of war drums, and the soldiers rushed out of the schoolyard. In a short while, there were only one more than 3,000 people left.

After almost an hour, the soldiers ran into the schoolyard one after another. A thousand small wooden signs had been prepared at the entrance of the schoolyard. When each soldier entered the schoolyard, he would grab a wooden sign at the signal of Xie Chengbin. The thousand wooden signs were stolen soon. When all the soldiers ran back, the meal had already been prepared.

During lunch, a thousand soldiers were happily holding wooden signs for a bowl of pork and ate them in big mouthfuls. The soldiers who had no meat were swallowing their saliva. After the meal, more than a hundred soldiers were added, and nearly four thousand soldiers stood neatly in the schoolyard.

Some soldiers had smiles on their faces, probably because they ate meat just now.

Xie Chengbin and Dian Wei appeared on the dock again, and the entire school was immediately silent.

"I believe that a thousand soldiers have eaten meat. Do you still want to eat meat when you wait for dinner?" Xie Chengbin shouted loudly.

"I want to eat meat! I want to eat meat! I want to eat meat!" Even if the soldiers who did not eat meat just smelled the smell of meat, every soldier was not willing to be outdone. Every time he roared, he would raise his weapons, and the loud voice was neat and the sound came out of the school ground.

"You have just recruited not long ago, and now you are running for the squad leader, the chief, Du Bo, and a hundred generals. All the selected candidates have meat to eat. The campaign method is one-on-one, the winner advances, and the loser is eliminated." Xie Chengbin announced the election and the rules. "Official positions below the goalkeeper must be re-election every month. Regardless of the size of the official position, the salary will be increased to ten times the original!"

As the saying goes, there must be a brave man under a large amount of money. After hearing Xie Chengbin's words, the soldiers were all eager to try and wanted to start the election immediately. Ten times the salary, almost a year's salary! As long as you work hard to become a one-half-staff for one month, you can support your family! Even if you don't have a family, you can get married and have children, and you have no worries about food and clothing for several months.

The soldiers each put back their weapons and returned to the school station. Each hundred people were in a row, three meters apart; each two platoons fought one-on-one to run for the election; the entire school station was 800 people at the same time.

Reality is always crueler than imagined. In order to be an official, the soldiers are very vicious! If they are beaten to the point of bleeding from their noses or bruised faces, it would be fine. What is even more exaggerated is that some people are beaten to look for teeth or kick their younger brother! It seems that some people cannot continue training tomorrow.

At the beginning of the second round, Xie Chengbin announced that he would not attack the vital parts. Even so, the situation still did not improve. Many people were beaten to internal injuries and vomited blood. If this continues, the Yellow Turbans have not yet revolted, and most of these soldiers will have to lie down. There is no way, time is tight, so this is the only way.

The campaign ended from noon to evening. When Xie Chengbin returned to the county government from the schoolyard, the avenue at the county government was crowded with people, and there were as many as 30,000 people!

Come to the door and ask the guard for information. "Why are there so many people?"

"When I go back to the envoy, those people are local people from Jinan County and State. When they heard that the county government gave alms, they came to ask for the porridge. The county government only gave alms to refugees, but did not dare to give alms to the people without permission." The guard clasped his fists and Xie Chengbin briefly explained the situation.

Xie Chengbin waved his hand and was about to order the people to give porridge, but at this time, an official walked up to Xie Chengbin and bowed. "Prince, please think twice! There are nearly 100,000 people in the city. If you order to help the people in front of you and the rest of the people follow their example, the granary will be exhausted in less than a few days!"

"Tomorrow, I'll buy food from local businesses and wealthy families." Xie Chengbin thought for a while and gave the other party an answer, and walked into the county government without looking back.

Xie Chengbin had a headache. He used to play games but it wasn't so troublesome. He had a meal, took a shower, and had a early rest. There was still a lot of things to do tomorrow.

Just as Xie Chengbin was about to fall asleep, a vague shout came from a vague sound of crying woke Xie Chengbin, and no one came to report what was going on. Hurry up and put on his clothes and go out to see what was going on.

The closer you get to the gate, the louder the shouting sounds, and there are also the sound of weapons colliding.

When we arrived at the gate, we saw the guards blocking the door and blocking someone's attack. Since there were steps at the gate and Xie Chengbin was still under the steps, we couldn't see who the other party was.

From the gap between the guards' feet, you can see many people standing upside down on the steps. When the guard saw Xie Chengbin not leaving, he approached here, he couldn't help but become anxious. "The unruly people are making trouble here, so the messenger should leave quickly!"

Xie Chengbin did not leave after hearing this. Instead, he accelerated his pace and walked up the steps, pulled out the guards' swords, pushed away the guards in the middle, and couldn't help but take a breath of air! The people on the opposite side were covered with yellow headscarves, densely packed, and I don't know how many people were. So the Yellow Turban Rebellion has arrived!
