.Ding Keze naturally accepted Zhao Shuxiang's apology, and then talked several more words. Ding Keze said: "Brother Xie, there are 300 soldiers and horses stationed in the county, and there are more than 200 yamen runners. I have also seen more than a dozen Tartars coming to the city these days, and we have only 300 people. Isn't it a little short?"

Zhao Shuxiang thought Ding Keze was a little scared and looked down upon Ding Keze a little. However, Ding Keze had a good reputation in Gaoyuan County. With his help, it would be very beneficial to the subsequent development of the rebel army. He explained patiently: "Brother Ding, don't worry, although there are 300 soldiers in the county, they have to be stationed in four gates, and there are only about 70 people in each gate. We can attack one of them. As for the yamen runners, these dog-legged bullying the people, and they have no combat power at all. When they attacked the county town and captured Wu Zhenhua's magistrate, we won the arrangements. I am not worried about not capturing the county town. But I still have several brothers in the city, all of whom have a life of friendship. Although I operate a low-key career and make a living by killing pigs and dogs, my skills are not vague. If the two elder brothers believe me, I will go back to the city to contact them immediately, and then we will attack together in the city and outside the city."

Xie Qian looked up at the sky. It was almost time to go down. At most, the gate of the county town would be closed in one and a half hours. During this period, it would take more than 20 miles to contact the county town. Even after entering the city, the sky was almost dark: "Most of the heroes are dog slaughterers. If they can interact with Brother Ding, they are definitely not ordinary people. It's just that time is too late. I wonder if Brother Ding is here.

"To be honest with Brother Xie, I am born with a scree. If I move away from my steps, I can reach the county town in half an hour."

Zhao Shuxiang winked desperately and signaled that Xie Qian could not agree. In another hour, the rebel army would set out to the county town. Although Ding Keze was unlikely to report his secret to the government, he was not afraid of ten thousand, but afraid that if he wanted to bring the entire rebel army into danger for a few mere help, and the wise would not do it.

"Okay, then I'll ask Brother Ding. We will launch an attack at the East Gate midnight tonight. There are more than 30 of us in the city, and they will live near the East Gate. Then Brother Ding will hear the shouts of killing and can join our troops and kill us to the city gate together. As long as we kill the soldiers guarding the city, we will succeed most of them."

Zhao Shuxiang sighed inwardly. Unexpectedly, Xie Qian also told Ding Keze about the internal affairs. Fortunately, he did not mention the specific address. The team has just been established. Not only are there insufficient weapons, but there is almost no food and salary. It is entirely supported by Xie Qian's reputation. If the offense is not smooth tonight, the team will collapse tomorrow, but he cannot question Xie Qian's decision. Otherwise, if the fight begins, there will be cracks inside, which is even worse.

"Brother Xie, don't worry, Junshi Zhao, I can only contact you here. These two brothers will be with you, so that they can also contribute to the attack."

Zhao Shuxiang breathed a sigh of relief. The two of them meant that they were of human nature, and they immediately reduced their suspicion of Ding Keze by half. However, Xie Qian seemed to have not noticed the twists and turns at all. His face remained unchanged, and he laughed happily: "Okay, it's not too late, Brother Ding, please go with peace of mind."

"Ding said goodbye." Ding Keze hugged his fists and turned around and left.

That night, just after Xu, it was when the lights were first on, but the entire Gaoyuan County town fell into darkness. Occasionally, a trace of light was revealed by a wealthy family. As for ordinary families, they went to bed early. Life was difficult now. It took fuel to light the lights. If you could, you would light the lights less. Only one or two lanterns were lit from a distance on the street, emitting dim lights.

There was another scene inside the county government. The fire was brightly lit here. The servants were busy in the yard. The fragrance of various wine and vegetables floated far away from the yard. From time to time, the sound of rock-scissors drinking came from the yard. There were also women's laughter in the middle. The entire county government seemed to be like a railing and tiles.

In the main hall of the county government office, more than a dozen Tartars were hugging a brothel woman, eating and drinking in the sea. The magistrate Wu Zhenhua was like a turtle man, holding a wine pot in his hand, and he added wine and vegetables to a Tartar from time to time. His mouth was full of flattery.

These more than ten Tartars came to Gaoyuan County to urge grain. In order to supply the army and military supplies, the Qing army commander Mandahai sent a urge grain team in almost every county. Gaoyuan had just collected 30,000 shi of grain, but it would have to increase 20,000 shi within half a month. Even if Wu Zhenhua could peel and remove bones from the people, he could not generate so much food in a short time. Wu Zhenhua was plundering while plundering, but he was drinking and drinking every day. Hope he could plead for the day.

The more than ten Tartars, the leader was just a leader, but the county magistrate Wu Zhenhua regarded it as the emperor. He had a lot of big and small banquets every day. He also invited more than a dozen brothel women to serve the Tartars comfortably.

Although the Manchus captured Beijing, these Tartars had some insight. However, the benefits were mostly because the upper class had to go. They could only drink some leftovers. How could they be so comfortable to be served by a county magistrate? They wanted to stay there and not leave. But they were not confused yet. They did not give up on the date of military ration supply for one day.

In three days, the date of the military ration transportation site will be the distance between 20,000 shi and 5,000 shi. The food and grass will become more difficult to collect. Wu Zhenhua was anxious. He dared not give up the supply of these Tartar lands at a loss.

The Tartars were born in the north and drank very generously. They drank until they were almost approaching their childhood. They hugged a woman and went back to their room to rest. Wu Zhenhua's career as a turtle man was over. They couldn't help but call two pretty maids to wipe their sweat and shoulders for themselves, and recovered their fatigue.

"Dog Tartars, I'm exhausted." Wu Zhenhua cursed, grabbed the maid to wipe her sweat, and stroked her hand. The maid blushed but dared not break free. In the past few days, several maids who were not in line with the master's wishes were given to the dozen Tartars. Those Tartars were rude and rude, and they didn't take a bath for many years. The smell alone was unbearable. Several sisters jumped into the well and committed suicide. Only those brothel women could not help but be mature, and they could still laugh when facing the Tartars.

Although Wu Zhenhua was like a dog in front of these Tartars, he still looked down on the Tartars in private. Although Wu Zhenhua was a small county magistrate, he was a Jinshi and was well-read for poetry and books.

Compared with the Ming Dynasty, the Tartars were barbaric and stupid, and did not know etiquette. Women could be one after another. I heard that the regent is a rival to the empress dowager. The only thing that can beat the Ming Dynasty was force. However, in a war a few months ago, the most elite Tartar soldiers and horses seemed to be defeated by the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. I heard that tens of thousands of people died, and the Tartars' force seemed to be unsustainable.

Although the Tartars were very taboo about this great defeat and strictly prohibited discussions, it still spread to almost all Han people. In history, the uprising of Xie Qian and others would not be until the end of next year. Due to Dorgon's governance mistakes, he promoted the shaving of his hair and changing clothes, and massacred in Jiangnan. Influenced by the Jiangnan resistance to the tyranny of Manchus, Xie Qian seized the opportunity and responded to it, swept several prefectures and prefectures, and affected millions of people.

However, this time, it was seen that the Manchus were strong outside and the middle. In addition, due to the failure of the Manchus' southern expedition, the exploitation of Shandong was much more serious than in history. Xie Qianzi was unwilling to wait until the end of next year, and he actually had the idea of ​​attacking Gaoyuan County now.

Although Wu Zhenhua looked down on the Tartars from the bottom of his heart, he still responded to the Tartars' requests and cruelly squeezing the people under his jurisdiction. It was nothing more than that. Shandong is the head of the Tartars. He can only get promoted and make money by holding on to the Tartars' thighs. As for the integrity of scholars, Wu Zhenhua has long been thrown out of his mind.

The east gate of Gaoyuan City was silent. There were only more than seventy people in the entire east gate, and even fewer soldiers were watching. Only seven or eight figures were fighting in the ear holes on both sides of the city gate. Gaoyuan had been living a peaceful life in the past. Although Shandong changed its flags several times in a year, it had no effect on Gaoyuan County. Anyway, the county magistrate was a thief who came to surrender the thief and the officials came to surrender. When the Tartars came, they surrendered to the Tartars. In the past, these seven or eight soldiers had gone back to sleep long ago, so they did not need to guard the ear holes. Now the Tartars were too cruel. The food was several times that of the Ming Dynasty. The Dashun Dynasty did not collect grain at all. The county magistrate was afraid that there would be troublemakers to cause trouble, so he ordered soldiers to send people to guard the city gate at night, so that these soldiers would reluctantly sleep in the ear holes.

On the main street, dozens of black shadows slowly slipped towards the city gate from the street. On the other street, more than a dozen black shadows were walking towards the city gate under the shadow of the houses on both sides. A domestic dog from somewhere hushed and then started to bark. With the barking of the dog, the dogs from each household also started to scream.

"No, I've been discovered. Damn dog, don't worry, rush towards the city gate. As long as you open the city gate, Brother Xie will rush in." A black shadow on the main street waved his hand, and the cold light flashed in his hand, clearly holding a weapon.

"Run!" The group of black shadows immediately jogged towards the city gate without any scruples, and the sound of footsteps was particularly loud in the city.

A Qing army at the gate of the city stood up in a daze: "What sound?" His face changed drastically after hearing it. The chaotic footsteps showed that at least dozens of people were running towards the city gate. At this time, he came to the city gate... He was clever and shouted: "There are enemies, there are enemies."

"Where is the enemy?" The other soldiers guarding the gate were woken up from their dreams and asked dissatisfiedly. Then they also heard footsteps and their faces changed drastically. One of them rang the bells specially used to call the police at the city gate. The bells were heard far away and could be heard in most of the county towns.

Unfortunately, the bell came too late. As soon as they rang it, dozens of black shadows had already rushed to: "Kill!"

The voice of "Zheng, zheng." sounded, and the Qing soldiers guarding the city fought desperately, but the number of people was too different. After a while, only two Qing soldiers were left knelt down and begged for mercy, and the rest of the Qing soldiers fell in a pool of blood.

The torch was lit, and the entire city gate was illuminated as bright as daytime. The two Qing soldiers kneeling were dressed in the clothes of green camp soldiers, with a look of horror on their faces.

"Traitor!" Two long swords came over and chopped down the two Qing troops.
