"I'm lost,"
"What kind of river is this?"
What county town is ahead?
The farmer didn't even look at him, and bent down to hoe, saying...
"This river is called Nanxi,"
"Lin'an is just a few miles ahead."
"Thank you!"
Emperor Huizong continued his unsteady journey.
We finally saw the county town by evening.
He gazed at the city wall and muttered to himself.
"Lin'an, Lin'an,"
"Perhaps temporary stability is possible,"
When will we be able to reach Chang'an?
He slept by the river that night.
Passersby saw it.
Just treat him as a beggar.
No one bothered him.
After dawn,
He then asked someone for directions.
I learned that heading to Muzhou meant going south.
We spent two days traveling through the hilly and mountainous areas.
It is estimated that the digestive system has adapted.
Surprisingly, the diarrhea stopped.
Emperor Huizong of Song was eating raw cured meat.
Suddenly a commotion was heard.
He quickly put the cured meat back into the bundle.
Dozens of farmers emerged from the valley.
Everyone used farm tools as weapons.
Some people were carrying burlap flags.
They charged at him in a frenzy.
Emperor Huizong of Song was so frightened that his legs went weak.
For a moment, he even forgot to run away.
As the peasant army passed by him,
Someone else picked up a small stone.
It was handed to Emperor Huizong of Song, who said...
"We are all unfortunate people, come with us to seek refuge with Commander Li."
"The dog emperor has been killed,"
"Don't be afraid of the authorities!"
"Which General Li?" Emperor Huizong asked instinctively.
The farmer said, "The general who captured Hangzhou was named Zhang Shun."
"This Commander Li is Zhang Shun's cousin."
"Don't ask so many questions, hurry up and go attack the county town!"
Emperor Huizong of Song dared not disobey.
So he picked up a stone and joined the peasant army.
Halfway through, they realized the stones weren't very useful.
They even replaced it with a wooden stick.
After advancing about ten miles,
More than a dozen people were recruited along the way.
This peasant army finally arrived at the outskirts of Xincheng County.
There was a large camp there.
More than a thousand peasant soldiers have already gathered.
It was called a large camp, but it didn't even have a wooden fence.
They simply gathered separately according to their closeness or distance from each other.
The group that Emperor Huizong of Song joined
He only brought rudimentary weapons when he joined the army.
They didn't even have the tools to start a fire and cook.
When General Li learned of the situation...
They sent someone to the nearby residential houses to fetch some pots and pans.
Let them cook and fill their stomachs first.
Fortunately, I joined the peasant army.
Emperor Huizong of Song was finally able to eat cooked food.
After everyone had finished their meal,
Emperor Huizong of Song finally saw what Commander Li looked like.
Just an ordinary middle-aged man.
Holding a broadsword in his hand,
He walked back and forth addressing more than a thousand people.
"General Zhang Shun, who captured Hangzhou,"
“He is my distant cousin.”
“My elder brother Zhang Shun is the top general under Emperor Zhao.”
"Emperor Zhao said, 'The dog emperor of the Great Song Dynasty shall die a horrible death.'"
"Making it impossible for ordinary people to survive."
"You will follow me to take down the county town,"
"We'll have food to eat from now on!"
"All the officials in the county were appointed by that damned emperor,"
"We're forcing you to pay taxes every day,"
"Kill them and you'll have a good life."
"Shout with me: Kill the corrupt officials, then have a full stomach!"
"Kill the corrupt official, then have a full meal!"
The crowd shouted loudly,
Emperor Huizong was so frightened that he shrank back.
The person next to him shouted for a while.
Seeing that Emperor Huizong did not react, he immediately reminded him,
"Brother, quickly shout for the execution of the corrupt official!"
"Once we enter the city, we'll have plenty to eat!"
Emperor Huizong of Song was afraid of being exposed.
So he also picked up a stick and shouted.
"Kill the corrupt official, then have a full meal!"
Just as the peasant army was shouting,
A large banner with the character "Ming" was erected on the city wall.
A constable descended from the city wall carrying a basket.
He came over tremblingly and said,
"This county has changed its flag and banner,"
"Submit to the new Ming Dynasty,"
"If you dare to besiege the county town again,"
"This is tantamount to rebelling against the new dynasty,"
"If the Ming emperor investigates this in the future, he will lose his head."
Commander Li stepped forward and said, "Nonsense! General Zhang Shun is my elder brother!"
"We are soldiers of the new Ming Dynasty."
"Tell the corrupt officials in the city to open the gates and surrender immediately!"
"If you surrender, you may be spared."
"Just lock him up in jail!"
The constable dared not say more and hurriedly replied,
"I will return to the city immediately to deliver the message to the county magistrate."
Emperor Huizong of Song stood among the peasant army,
The scene before me seemed quite comical.
That county town was the county town of the new Ming Dynasty.
The peasant army outside the city was also a soldier of the new Ming Dynasty.
Only I am the emperor of the Song Dynasty.
No, wait, it seems I've rebelled...
The county magistrate was clearly unwilling to open the city gates and surrender.
They also organized the people in the city to defend it to the death.
The peasant army began demolishing the houses of the residents near the city wall.
Obtain wood to make a ladder.
Emperor Huizong of Song was also summoned to help.
Chapter 1791 Full of Anger
That evening, another group of farmers came to seek refuge.
And many of them had blood on them.
I heard that he killed the entire families of several local gentry.
Emperor Huizong of Song became increasingly afraid.
