The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire - Chapter 447
[Chapter four hundred and forty-two restaurant mood]
Binh Duong City, the capital of Xijiang Province, the neighboring province of Dongjiang.
A restaurant in the city.
The restaurant was bustling with customers, including warriors with swords and knives, a scholar dressed in Tsing Yi, a traveling businessman, and some people from the city came here to chat.
“Hey, have you heard? There was a rebellion in Dongjiang Province opposite us, and the momentum was huge. Now it has completely swept the entire Dongjiang, and it has fought several battles with several neighboring provinces, without losing the slightest.” A ranger The person who looked like said, with a dazzling expression on his face, which seemed to be quite yearning.
“I’ve heard it for a long time. To say that these rebels are really powerful. The Yellow Mountain Demon King is very powerful, right? It once swept the entire Dongjiang Province and brought down the governor of Dongjiang Province, Lord Qin Ming, forcing the court to give in and admit the demon. The area occupied by the clan is the territory of the demon clan. But such a powerful demon king suddenly made the group of rebels in Dongjiang Province beat them. Even a person as powerful as the Yellow Mountain Demon King died. I think the leader of the first army must be an extremely powerful adult.” An accomplice next to the chivalrous man said.
“That’s right! The world is not at peace. There is a scourge of demon soldiers in the east, and the Dajin Dynasty invaded again in the north. Now that the demon soldiers have just subsided, and the rebel army has started again, life is getting more and more difficult, and now taxes are more than before. There are several times more, and it is difficult to earn money to eat.” A man dressed as a traveling merchant said, his face was full of bitterness, obviously deeply affected by these wars.
“Humph! It’s just a rebel. As long as the court frees up its hands, it can be wiped out with a flick of a finger. What’s the point.” In a private seat on the second floor, a man dressed as a scholar in Tsing Yi shouted indignantly.
“That’s right, what Brother Chen Yan said is very true, a group of rebels, what kind of climate can they achieve. Now it’s just taking advantage of the inconvenience of the imperial army’s transfer. When the imperial court calms down and the heavenly soldiers are overwhelmed, they will immediately fly away. .” The Qingyi scholar beside the scholar dressed as a scholar, all of them agreed. As scholars, they hated these old rebels against the existing order the most.
“Heh~ I know who it is, it turns out to be a group of scholars. That rebel army drove out the demon soldiers for my human race and restored the orthodoxy of humanity. They have a great kindness with my human race, and they are much higher than the so-called compromised court. Sure enough. “It’s all worthless, what the scholar said is very reasonable, the experience passed down by our ancestors can be seen today.” The chivalrous person who spoke first turned his head and saw a group of scholars, and couldn’t help but sneered.
In today’s world, there are endless wars, and the status of warriors is not as low as that of Zhong Yu’s previous life. After all, if the major dynasties want to save themselves, they still need to rely on these warriors, especially in empires like Daqin that built their country by force, the status of warriors is even more than civil servant.
However, the status of civil officials in dynasties like Daming was unprecedentedly powerful. Although the status of warriors was not low, it was far lower than that of literati.
“You…you’re just a bunch of vulgar warriors, so what kind of insight do you have. Now you are openly promoting the reputation of those rebels, shouldn’t you want to rebel, aren’t you afraid that the imperial army will come to arrest them?” Tsing Yi scholar was pointed at Nose scolded, and immediately counterattacked, the words were quite vicious, as if they wanted to kill these chivalrous men.
“Hey! You’re really right. Grandpa, I’m going to join these rebels so that I can have a good future.” The chivalrous man smiled, but he didn’t even deny it.
“You…you…” The scribe in Tsing Yi didn’t expect that the chivalrous man was so dead that he wasn’t afraid of boiling water.
“Ha ha ha ha!”
Seeing the group of scribes eating, everyone in the lobby laughed.
After all, most of the people here are poor and belong to the exploited class. Especially now that the tax has been increased many times, they have no good feelings for those high-ranking landlords, scholars, and the imperial court.
Just as everyone was laughing, a team of yamen suddenly appeared outside the restaurant. All of them were carrying knives and swords, and their faces were fierce. Some of them were holding several pairs of shackles and shackles.
As soon as this team of yamen entered the restaurant, they immediately shouted loudly, making everyone in the restaurant quiet.
“My lord just heard the report, saying that someone in the restaurant was secretly spreading rumors, suspected of being a rebel spy, and came to arrest him. Who is it?” A middle-aged man who looked like a head arrester asked sharply.
At this time, a rather thin man with a wretched face next to the arresting head pointed to the chivalrous men who had just defended the rebels.
“Master Liu, it was just these few people who spread rumors here, kept preaching the benefits of those rebels, and called those rebels rebels, which is really outrageous.”
Hearing the words, Liu Zhaotou turned his head and stared at the chivalrous men, his expression became cold, his eyes flickered, and he held the large flower knife around his waist, his behavior was quite bad.
Just now, the group of chivalrous men saw this posture and knew that their actions had been leaked, and their expressions tightened. They stood up from the table, picked up their swords, and confronted them without showing weakness. Those yamen.
Liu Zhao looked at his head, and his heart was also a little nervous, these are some desperados!
There are seven chivalrous men on the opposite side, and all of them have bulging temples, and they seem to have a little inner strength.
Different from ordinary people.
And everyone is holding a sword, and the lethality has doubled, and the 13 yamen that they brought may not be able to win.
At least some casualties are inevitable.
Thinking of this, Liu Chutou couldn’t help but hesitate, not sure if he should go forward.
After all, for winning these desperate Jianghu people, at most one credit for catching a spy, UUkanshu www.uukanshu.com is not that big at this time.
But if four or five people died under oneself, or even more, it would greatly damage one’s foundation, and it is impossible to say that one’s opponent would take the opportunity to fall into the trap and take his position as the head catcher.
The chivalrous men on the opposite side didn’t dare to act rashly when they saw that the yamen did not move. After all, their number was twice as small as the opponent’s, so they were still at a disadvantage.
The two groups of people confronted each other in the restaurant like this, and the atmosphere solidified to the extreme. Those customers in the restaurant were blocked in the building and did not dare to leave, and they also sweated.
At this moment, a fast horse suddenly ran on the street outside, and a blood-colored knight in military armor shouted loudly on the fast horse.
“Emergency military situation, emergency military situation.”
“The rebels from the east sent troops to attack our Xijiang Province, and Huaiqing Prefecture and Zezhou have been captured. At this moment, the enemy’s front 30,000 has already broken through Xiangling City, which is 30 miles outside the city of Pingyang Prefecture, and troops will be under the city within half a day.”
A piece of news that could shake the entire Xijiang Province came out of the knight’s mouth, causing everyone in the city to panic.
And the yamen in the restaurant naturally heard what the knights had just passed by, and their expressions became extremely exciting.
“That group of rebels is so powerful that they broke through two state capitals without a sound, and even reached the foot of the provincial capital before the news came out.” The group of yamen couldn’t help but think so in their hearts, and the bitterness in their mouths was even more bitter.
“withdraw!”
Liu Zhaotou drank, turned his head and left with his subordinates.
Now in this situation, what kind of spy is still caught, it is better to think about how to save his life.
It is impossible to say that they are catching spies here. After Pingyang City is destroyed, the rebel army will come to find them and settle them.
Liu Zhaotou had no intention of being buried with the court, his life was the most important thing.
