Chapter 69: The Arrested Strong Man
When the genius was in a daze, Zhao Ming suddenly woke up, and a hundred officials rushed into the ruined temple with their soldiers.
Several families who were asleep inside also woke up and gathered together in panic.
The officer pressed the handle of the knife and looked at Zhao Ming who was standing at the door with a sinister look. The soldiers behind him were erecting spears and forced Zhao Ming into the ruined temple and stood with everyone.
At this time, the officer walked in, glanced at everyone, and suddenly said, "Take off all the turbans!"
The voice was irresistible, and the scholar in the head frowned slightly and saluted the officer, "We all fled from Nanzhi and wanted to join the scholars of the court, and hoped that all households would be compatible."
The officer narrowed his eyes and pulled out half of the knife, revealing murderous aura. The soldiers next to him immediately shouted, "You asked you to take off the turban, don't you hear it?"
If it were in the past, the big head soldiers would never dare to disrespect scholars, but now the world has gradually changed.
When a scholar meets a soldier, he can't explain it clearly.
Although several scholars thought they were rude, the scholars in charge still whispered: "Everyone should do it!"
Zhao Ming was not wrapped in a headscarf and stood there observing the official army coming in. He could tell at a glance that these people had killed people.
Several scholars could only take off their hats and net scarves. The officer took a look and his hair was still there before he was sheathed and said in a gentle tone: "The court attacked Hangzhou, the war was tight, and people needed to transport grain. You were requisitioned."
Zhao Ming felt a stern, "Mom, you're caught."
I have heard of arresting strong men, but this is the first time I have been arrested. Zhao Ming frowned slightly.
After saying that, Baihu waved his hand, "Take it away!"
The soldiers immediately wanted to pull people, which caused the women and children in the ruined temple to exclaim, and several scholars also panicked.
Zhao Ming suddenly walked forward, blocked everyone's face, and clasped his fists, "Brother, these are all scholars. If you ask them to transport grain, it is really useless to manage the local area and manage logistics, which is what they should do!"
The officers and several scholars were slightly stunned when they heard his words.
"Mom Xipi!" The officer reacted, spitted on the ground, walked to Zhao Ming, looked up and down, and saw that he was unkempt and dirty, his clothes were dirty and torn, and his two black toes were exposed from front of his shoes. He was a beggar. He couldn't help but glared, "Who are you dare to call me brothers and teach me how to do things..."
Baihu pushed Zhao Ming down, but it seemed to push it to the iron plate. Zhao Ming didn't move, which made Baihu who was glaring at him look shocked.
Several scholars on the side also looked at Zhao Ming in surprise, surprised that this beggar could actually say such words.
The officer looked at Zhao Ming, his face twitched, and suddenly waved: "Take him away, keep the rest!"
Zhao Ming looked at the officials in front of him and thought that if I resisted, I would probably be able to run out. They were all brothers from the Anti-Qing Dynasty. There was no need. I was just hungry and I would have a meal first.
Zhao Ming didn't need anyone to pull him, so he took his hat and left casually.
In the ruined temple, the scholar who was led bowed and said, "I am Qian Chengzhi, I don't know my name!"
"I'm not talking about it!" Zhao Ming waved his hand, "Thank you for your dry food!"
Qian Chengzhi and others were slightly stunned and couldn't help but praise: "A hero."
After listening to their conversation yesterday, Zhao Ming felt a little uncomfortable. Ma Shiying was half a father after all. Seeing that everyone hated Ma Shiying so much, he wanted to kill him quickly, and he felt guilty, as if the world had a responsibility to make him not want to mention his name.
At this time, Baihu exited the ruined temple, took a few steps, stopped again, turned around and bowed to the few people, reminding him casually, "The war is about to begin near Yuhang, don't stay here for a long time!"
The Baihu is not afraid of Zhao Ming, but what Zhao Ming said makes sense. A few scholars can't do any rough work. Letting them do what they should do can play a greater role. Besides, if they have anything to do, there is no need to offend them, so it's better to let them go.
Qian Chengzhi and others hurriedly bowed to the officials of all households, thanking him for being proud of his actions.
...
Zhao Ming followed the government army out of the ruined temple and found that the army had captured many strong men, including one or two hundred.
In the early morning, the weather was a little wet and cold. The strong men were trembling with their arms in their arms. The soldiers around them held weapons and looked around, showing an elite aura.
At that time, the hundred households issued an order, and the soldiers and the strong men went down the hill. After walking a few miles, they came to a large camp.
Zhao Ming saw the soldiers standing in rows of soldiers on the school ground motionless. From a distance, he was surprised. He didn't expect that there was such an elite Ming army in eastern Zhejiang.
At this time, with the officer's command, the standing soldiers suddenly moved, and thousands of spears stabbed out, and the soldiers shouted together, making a shocking sound.
Zhao Ming saw a snow-clear spear forest, and the spear thrust, and the sound of killing shook the sky, and the earth trembled slightly, and his heart was a little excited.
At this time, they continued to walk forward and came to the front of the camp gate. They saw hundreds of people with bare scalp and braids tied up on the back and kneeling in front of the camp gate. A group of soldiers stepped forward and slashed with swords, one by one, and the heads rolled, and they killed them in a moment.
At first, Zhao Ming thought it was to kill the Tartars, and was shocked that the official army had captured so many Qing troops. But when he heard it, he looked at their clothes and his face changed drastically. The official army killed not the Qing soldiers, but the people with shaved hair.
The Qing Dynasty issued a hair shaving order, leaving its head but not its hair. A large number of people in Jiangnan were massacred by the Qing Dynasty, and some gentry and civilians who did not have the courage to resist chose to shave their hair and change their clothes and surrender to the Qing Dynasty.
They still miss the Ming Dynasty in their hearts, but they have no choice but to die without shave their hair. Most of them cannot become heroes. They just want to live, so they can only shave their hair and dress.
For the Qing Dynasty, shaving hair and changing clothes meant surrender and surrender. For the Ming Dynasty, shaving hair and changing clothes meant betrayal and represented surrender to the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, when the Ming army came back, a liquidation was naturally carried out.
In the south of the Yangtze River, the Ming and Qing Dynasties repeatedly tug-of-war. The Qing army came to kill those who could not shave their heads. The Ming army came to kill those who shave their heads. The people in the south of the Yangtze River were caught in the middle, suffering and had almost no way out.
Zhao Ming looked at the corpses all over the ground, and his eyes could not leave the corpse for a long time. He was not afraid of blood, but felt a sense of sadness and sadness.
At this time, the officials of a hundred households carried them into the camp and handed them over to another officer. The officer looked at the strong man and ordered casually: "You go there, put the grain bags in the truck, and will be sent forward later!"
Under the surveillance of the government army, Zhao Ming worked with the men. At first, he only moved some food in the area, but then he felt it was too slow. He grabbed a bag of food and threw it on his shoulder, then grabbed a bag and continued to throw it on the other shoulder, and held a bag under his arms. He walked to the front of the car easily and put four bags of food on the car.
