Ming Dynasty: Summoning game players at the beginning

Chapter 22 The Name of the Rebel Army Begins Today
Gaojiazhuang was completely cleared, and new problems followed.

The Gao family members were all killed, but how to take away the money, food and supplies of the Gao village?

The news of the attack on the Gao family will soon reach the county government office. The carriages brought by the players and the livestock in the village will not be able to transport them away before the armed forces from the county arrive.

The granaries in the village are enough to feed the people there for a long time. If they are not transported away, they will eventually benefit corrupt officials.

Secondly, the county magistrate, who is also the local police chief, is Gao Zei's brother-in-law. Upon hearing that his brother-in-law's family was killed, he will definitely fight the player to the death.

The Dianshi lived in the county town, worked in the yamen during the day and returned to his residence at night. He was protected by staff day and night.

It will no longer be as convenient for players to sneak into the camp and carry out a "decapitation operation" through existing channels like it is today.

At this time, several skinny young men walked up to the players and knelt down, stumbling over a lot of things. The general idea was that they were grateful to the knights for upholding justice and eliminating harm for the people, and hoped to join the knights' righteous army to rob the rich and help the poor together.

Then more young people knelt down. They said that as slaves and maids of the Gao family, they did not stand up for their master when he was in trouble. This was already a crime, and they would not forgive them when the government officials came.

The Gao family’s relatives and friends won’t make things easy for them either.

If you can follow the rebels, not only can you save your life, but even if you are forced to live in the mountains, you can still have enough food and clothing.

Huang Zilong looked around at the people who were asking to join the team, and suddenly realized that their team had inadvertently established prestige.

Since ancient times, the people have been looking forward to knights who uphold justice and judges who enforce the law impartially.

As a modern man, Huang Zilong understands the powerful role of public opinion better than the ancients.

After today's battle at Gaojiazhuang, the team's double reputation will soon spread. The bureaucrats and clerks will regard them as evil thieves who rob and loot, but the people will think they are a righteous army that is doing justice for the people.

What does guerrilla warfare require?
An efficient command system, strong organizational capabilities, unwavering fighters, and most importantly, a mass base.

Players can communicate online and offline, and are highly united when fighting against enemy soldiers. Everyone is fearless and brave, but they lack a mass base.

It’s simply because the general public doesn’t know them yet, doesn’t know what they are going to do, and doesn’t know that the two sides can actually become friends or even comrades-in-arms.

Modern people know how to win the hearts of the people.

It’s nothing but fairness, fairness, and damn fairness!

"I have a suggestion," Wu Litou said. "Let's have everyone who can move quickly go to the surrounding villages and beat gongs and shout: 'Come to Gaojiazhuang to collect food.' Then the surrounding villagers will swarm in and empty the village of food, vegetables, and everything else. In less than half an hour, the area for miles around will be filled with people moving like ants. If we blend in with the group and drive our cars to transport the food, who will be able to tell who we are?"

"Great! As expected of an online writer, you have so much on your mind."

"You kid, don't you see? You're a complete slacker in combat, but you're all talk and no action when it comes to strategy. You need to take the postgraduate entrance exam!"

Everyone thought what he said made sense, so they immediately gathered all the gongs and iron pots, gave them to the young men, and instructed them to spread the news around.

Although the players could not take them in, they still pointed the way forward for them.

If young men and women are homeless, they can take food to the valley area in the south, where there are several pioneer villages that are in need of manpower.

The young man who took the copper gong and iron pot knew that joining the rebel army was impossible, so he immediately asked solemnly, "What banner are you heroes flying? Can you tell us?"

"banner?"

The players immediately started discussing the names of the rebels: "Daqin Sharp Soldiers," "White Li Soldiers," "Tang Dynasty Warriors," "Revolutionary Guards," "Fire Rescue Battalion," "Space Marines," "Heavy Combined Brigade," "Golden Fleet," and so on.

In the end, it was a player who, with his loud voice, made the people understand a name: "Beggar Army".

A name that was once spread throughout China during its most difficult times.

The origins of the soldiers of this unit were mentioned, and the core objectives of the unit's operations were also informed.

live.

Anyone who prevents the "Beggar Army" from surviving is an enemy.

After a night of silence, the scorching sun broke through the horizon, hanging high in the sky, and its vibrant light sprinkled on the earth.

The gate of Gaojiazhuang opened again, and a group of people carried bags of grain and baskets of vegetables and walked in all directions.

As these people returned to their homes, the news that "there was a volunteer army calling themselves the Beggars Army in Gaojiazhai who robbed the rich and gave to the poor" spread quickly.

Just like modern people seeing rich people throwing money on the street, a group of people brought their families, young and old, and carried pots and pans on their backs, as if they were born with the spirit of running, and ran all the way to Gaojiazhuang without stopping.

When people arrived at the place, they saw that all the granaries had been opened. A group of strong men with weapons were standing in two rows along the way, just like waiters standing next to a new store welcoming customers during the grand opening.

It is necessary to queue up to prevent people who arrive later from not being able to get food.

Seeing that the people coming to get food had formed a large number, the player team immediately rode out of the village and mixed in with the people returning home, heading south.

The people will have a much better life in the second half of this year because they have received food from others, and they are all smiling.

The players indulged in their desire to slaughter the powerful and looted a lot of livestock, money and food, and thus gained the reputation of "Beggar Army". Seeing that a large amount of merit points were about to fall on their heads, they could not help but smile.

This is what a win-win situation is.

……

The news of the massacre in Gaojiazhuang soon reached the county government.

According to the custom, if the mob preyed on the rich, after they had eaten and drunk their fill, the county government would dispatch some constables and hangers-on to disperse them.
But if the bandit troops killed the landlords, the county armed forces would wait until the bandits retreated, and then arrive late, and then report a great victory after repelling the bandits.

After all, the militia battalion is composed of ordinary people who were conscripted into the army. They only receive a few dollars of food and wages subsidy a month, so there is no need for them to risk their lives.

On the other hand, the militia forces in a county are village defense forces organized by local gentry and wealthy families, and they generally do not stand up for wealthy families who die suddenly.

Only when they encountered extremely vicious bandits wreaking havoc in cities and towns would they use their skills to "defend their hometown" and fight to the death.

So when the news came that the "beggar army" distributed food to the surrounding people but failed to incite the people to riot, the yamen runners could not help but sigh and regret that they had missed the opportunity to make money.

However, it seems not too late to rush over now. The fast team leader and the strong team leader each gathered twenty men and horses and rushed towards Gaojiazhuang.

When they arrived, there were fewer people carrying grain, and only some people who lived farther away were left. They were still picking up fallen grains at the edge of the granary and putting them into straw bags bit by bit.

"Get out of here!" The foreman drew out his iron knife and shouted angrily, and the people who were still picking up food immediately scattered like birds and beasts.

When the team leader stepped into the familiar Gaojiazhuang, the mess on the ground caught his eyes, especially the blood-red words left on the wall, which was the most eye-catching.
