Chapter 250 Hangzhou After the Occupation

Chapter 250 Hangzhou After the Occupation

In August of the ninth year of Jinghan in the Wu Dynasty, at the beginning of autumn, Jiangnan, Hangzhou.

The lake is shimmering, and the mountains and rivers are flat.

Half a month has passed since Fang La's army took over Hangzhou, an important city in the southeast.Looking from a distance, the city walls that collapsed in the earthquake and war disaster are being rebuilt, and the pavilions, courtyards, streets and alleys in the city also look a little bit of a waste.

The military disaster half a month ago filled the entire city of Hangzhou with dreadful blood and chaos, but recently, it has gradually become lively again.Gathered from all directions, in addition to the soldiers who belonged to Fang La who were originally scattered in various places, there were also a group of travelers who looked like farmers and small traders, some dressed in rags, and some with their families. mouth.It has become the easiest sight to see on the road leading to Hangzhou in the recent period.

In the past, the well-dressed merchants and officials, the high-spirited rich sons and scholars on the post roads leading to Hangzhou are naturally gone now.At this time, most of the people who gathered on these roads were many farmers who brought their families with them because Sheng Gong was about to proclaim himself emperor, and some of their families served in the army. Strange three or five big men, or large and small groups of theater troupes and entertainers, are somewhat different from what you can see in the past.

These people either look contemptuous and arrogant, or are wretched and low-key, but many of them carry all kinds of weapons with them, including gold, wood, iron and stone, and all kinds of materials.During the journey, some ordinary people can find that some of these people often greet each other, hug each other, and say some strange words after meeting.Anyone who is really knowledgeable will know that these people of three religions and nine streams gather together, and their name is Jianghu, and these people are what most people call "Jianghu people".

Speaking of which, in the past two years since Sheng Gong started the uprising, there have been many people in Jiangnan Green Forest responding to the uprising.Some were determined and actively contacted from the very beginning, and some saw an opportunity when the Shenggong army arrived, so they raised troops to follow.

Of course, the rivers and lakes and the green forest are not necessarily the same thing. Most of these green forest heroes who raised their troops to follow were originally bandits and thieves.And more people from the rivers and lakes are the kind of practitioners who hide in the mountains and in the market, or have some weird skills. They teach all kinds of things, do not break the law on weekdays, do small businesses and live a small life, maybe they are not living well. count well.But since he has an art industry, he may not have no contacts with those green forest people.

When Fang La started the incident, he relied on the momentum of the Manichaeism. He had a good reputation among these people in the gray area, but the rebellion was a matter of beheading after all. Even if he called desperately, he would take the initiative to gather around People naturally have a limit.But this time under the plan of Fang Qifo, the Holy Duke's army took Hangzhou, and then Shi Sheng, Lu Xing'er, Lu Shinang and other people who already had a lot of reputation echoed in various places, which shocked the southeast all of a sudden, and when Fang La wanted to proclaim himself emperor , The news of recruiting talented people from all over the world spread one after another, and many people who had originally had a wait-and-see attitude finally moved their minds.

These people from the rivers and lakes usually had a bad life. Although it was late this time, Fang La proclaimed himself emperor, and he would naturally need a lot of talents to fight against the imperial court. Once they succeeded, they would always have the reputation of being the founder of the country.So this time, apart from the many refugees who made a fortune from the families in the toppling army, the most people who gathered in Hangzhou this time were all kinds of strange people and strangers. The taste of the martial arts conference I have seen in the past.

The situation is chaotic and mixed.After the city was broken and the city was completely cleaned up, under the chaos of the army, it can be said that most of the land and property in Hangzhou have become ownerless.Although there was some negotiation on how to distribute the benefits after the city was broken, people's hearts are boundless. A post-earthquake Hangzhou city is actually not big enough.Taking a step back, ten days and a half a month is really too little for the formation of a new order.

The gold and silver eaten into the belly can be taken out again, and the real estate in the hands of some people can naturally be taken into the hands of others.At this moment in Hangzhou City, in terms of order, it is still just a matter of whose fist is bigger.Leaving aside the fact that the boss eats his subordinates, after the city of Hangzhou was destroyed, according to Fang La's "rebel army", there were still some surviving residents in the city who were able to legally keep their few properties.

These people have nothing to rely on. For more than 20 days, they have naturally become fragrant steamed buns that anyone can step on. Everyone wants to eat fragrant steamed buns. Once people from this army come to bully them, they will also There are people from another army to "protect" them, but the price is high. When mutual interests conflict, these days, a famous rebel leader in Hangzhou city pulls the army to the street or outside the city to start filming. It is not uncommon to see things called arrays.

Hangzhou is the place where we want to be called emperor, and we should not be too chaotic. This is the keynote set from the beginning.So Fang La issued an order, and groups of law enforcement teams in the city began to work. The leader was Fang Qifo's disciple, named Chen Fan. He was very powerful in battle, but he was too young. He arrested several groups of people. , without interrogation, took the leaders of both sides and beat them a few times on the street, most of them were beaten to death, including the nephew of general Zhang Wei, the cousin of Guo Shiguang, etc. It is said that a group of people They went to the "imperial palace" and made a fuss in front of Fang La, and then they were about to fight each other. Fang La also had a headache. He was worried about the war in Jiaxing in the north, and he was also busy with proclaiming himself emperor. People here are busy being emperors." Then he drew his sword and hacked several groups of people to death.It was dealt with without pain or itching, and then nothing happened.

The aftermath of the military chaos has not subsided, a large number of seven aunts and eight aunts entered the city, and then groups of strange people entered the city, and when they saw something beneficial, they all wanted to share a fortune.I don't have a place to live, go grab it, I have made great contributions to Shenggong, now my family has no place to live, I have to make a floor shop on the street... and so on.Chen Fan continued to lead the law enforcement team to beat people on the street, killing anyone who caught a bad eye.And in the city of Hangzhou, some shops have finally opened under such circumstances, and various water and land transportation, which are more critical to the city, are also struggling to operate under such turbulent circumstances, maintaining the city's basic Operation, began to prepare for the autumn harvest.

This city is like an extremely dilapidated carriage, with no roof, rotten beams, rotten frames, and missing rivets. Under the load of the last batch of skinny horses, it began to move forward with difficulty, waiting for someone to arrive in time. Come here and slowly fix this before it falls apart completely.

Of course, where there are people, order will always be re-formed...

**************

"But the blood-handed man Tu Ning Liheng is eight feet tall and his waist is also eight feet..."

Generally speaking, this kind of beginning that describes someone as a suspected cylinder means that most of the following stories are false.But even so, every time someone speaks out loud, there are still many people around who are willing to listen.Right now, on a relatively intact teahouse in Hangzhou City, a man lowered his voice while talking to the surrounding people about what happened not long ago.

"...On that day at Shiqiaodu in Huzhou, this man sorted out a group of exhausted soldiers, put them to death and survived. Using the strategy of the overlord of Western Chu, he first let thousands of his own soldiers live in death, and then ...then went back and forth twice near Shiqiaodu, even breaking through the siege of the three generals Lu Xie, Yao Yi, and Xue Dounan. If General An Xi Fu'an's Hei Lingwei hadn't been around, Mi Quan and Shen Zhucheng might not have survived. For Xingli... Damn, this person is simply a monster..."

At this time, the teahouses in Hangzhou were preaching how powerful the imperial court was. In a sense, it was a bit rebellious, but in Hangzhou City at this time, there was no such control, and secondly, those who dared to say these things blatantly , more or less background.Just now a group of people mentioned that the battle in Jiaxing was still in focus, and then they talked about the failure in Huzhou some time ago. This person is probably a relative of a general in the army, so they pretended to be mysterious at this time. Of course, most people still don't believe it. The bloody man Tu Ning Liheng has never heard of such a stupid name in Jiangnan martial arts. For a while, some people laughed and some retorted, and some people held a pipe and said, "Hey!" Laugh a few times and count the almanac.

"What kind of bloody hand slaughter... When it comes to martial arts in the world, I, Yan Qi, can't understand it best. In Jiangnan, Shenggong is the leader. After that, there is Liu Dabiao, who dominated the knife village back then, and Mo Mo, who has always been a loner." Sorrow sword Bai Moyan, General Wang Yinwang's soul-locking gun also has the ability to be unpredictable. Buddha Commander can use all eighteen weapons, but he is mainly good at boxing. His disciple Chen Fan is said to be able to pull weeping willows! In addition, Deng Yuanjue Deng Rulai, the lunatic Shi Bao, Li Tianrun, Si Xingfang and others are all masters, and now most of them are under the Shenggong's tent to take orders. In terms of strategy, besides the commander in chief, An Xifu is also a master. It is said that there is a man named Zhi Duoxing Wu Yong, and as for the blood-handed man butcher, he is also a scholar in his early twenties, you young man is really nonsense..."

The chatter in the teahouse is full of smog, compared to the prosperity of Hangzhou before the arrival of Fangla's army, the leisurely scene in the teahouse, at this moment, even if the people who come to the shop say how much background they have, it is shown Yes, it is also full of stock market spirit.At this time, on the side of the teahouse, a man dressed as a nobleman stood up, whispered "a bunch of nonsense", and walked outside.

The noble young man spoke in a low voice, but many people in the hall had already heard it.Most of them are people from the rivers and lakes. When they are in one place, they always have the ability to see all directions and listen to all directions. Although this noble young man was sitting in the corner before, he was very conspicuous.Some people were about to go into a fit when they frowned, but when they looked again, as the noble young master stood up, several people around the table also stood up. Going out together, thinking that this noble young master has quite a status, he restrained himself.

It wasn't until the noble son went out that someone from the other side of the hall casually mentioned his identity: "This guy's name is Lou Shuheng, hey, it's the original Lou family in Hangzhou. With the support of Shuai Buddha behind him, many people ate his Lou family's food. A few days ago, they were trembling, but these days they have learned to be domineering. I heard that they even robbed a few women... Don't mess with him... ..."

It was Lou Shuheng who went out from the teahouse.After the fall of Hangzhou, in order to continue to maintain the operation of the city, the Lou family has become one of the families that Fang Qifo and others rely on the most. However, in the past twenty days, they have shouldered heavier and heavier burdens. growing power.Dealing with these insurgents is actually very easy, at least when Fang Qifo is away, what they need is not to collapse, you can make a lot of profits, but you don’t need to be perfect, they can only rely on you and give you various powers, Lou Shuheng has been aware of this feeling almost from the very beginning.

Whether it was forced or voluntary, the Lou family actually had no way out at this time.Besides, quitting, it's impossible, and Fang La has already made up his mind, if Fang La loses, the Lou family may only have a dead end.Lou Shuheng is a very smart person. At the beginning, he watched the soldiers in the city kill people, drag officials and wealthy businessmen out to bury them alive, and open their stomachs. He was terrified, but the same thing did not happen to them. At the beginning, some people took refuge in them under Fang Qifo's behest, protected them, and helped them do things.

He watched those killing scenes in those days, and he was protected and could walk around. More than ten days ago, he saw a group of soldiers raping a woman in her 20s. He just passed by, and several soldiers scolded him several times. He said a few words, and then he was beaten into a shapeless shape by the guards who followed him. The woman knelt on the ground half naked and thanked him a thousand times.He had been thinking about this for the past few days. A few days later, he and his guards secretly went to the street and snatched a woman back home...

At the beginning, he told himself that it was to test how much privilege Fang Qifo had given to his family, but this kind of thing was really exciting. He locked up the woman, and a few days later, the woman was killed by him by mistake... It's not very good at one time...but that's the way people are, once something is opened, it can't be closed again.In that Wu Dynasty, he could not feel the pleasure of such naked power. Although his family was also powerful and powerful at that time, the feeling is really different now... A few days later, he went to find the almost The raped woman... did what the soldiers failed to do...

Nothing more than that...

He is immersed in the feeling of today, the city of Hangzhou today is so interesting.But when he came out today, he suddenly heard that name that he didn't like to hear very much, which was really uncomfortable.This incident made him feel a kind of gap. When he was doing these things in Hangzhou, that guy actually beat Fang La's generals like dogs in Huzhou.

So what is it that he has mastered now?

The distance was opened instantly.

If that guy is still in Hangzhou, let him die!Just like those officials and wealthy businessmen who were killed in the hell of Hangzhou 20 days ago, they died miserable...

This is what he thought as he walked through the decadent streets of Hangzhou with a few guards.

Then, a few days later, he really saw Ning Liheng.
