The small Yuyao County has no sleep all night. Since last night, noise and wars have been rising and falling everywhere in the county town. From time to time, there are also faint screams, which scared the people of Yuyao County to fear and close their homes.

The timid hiding in the room and didn't even dare to light the lights. He squeezed with the whole family and shivered, and the bolder ones slid out the crack of the door and looked out. From time to time, three or five figures flashed across the street, holding a sharp knife in his hands, all of them were fierce.

It was not until dawn approached that the street gradually calmed down. The people of Yuyao County, who had not yet figured out what was going on, had just breathed a sigh of relief, but another rumbling sound of gongs and drums came.

"Dear elders, fellow villagers, Your Highness, the Chief Minister of the Ming Dynasty, Duke Zhongyong, and the Grand Marshal of the Grand Tutor have an order! My Daming Heavenly Soldiers will restore Yuyao! Exorcist the Huguan, restore China, establish Ji Chen Gang, and save the people...!"

"What!"

When the shocking news came, everyone could not believe their ears. The Ming Dynasty’s governor, Duke Zhongyong, and Grand Marshal of the Grand Tutor? Didn’t a strong man come last night, but a “rebel army” who came to rebel against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty?

When I heard this news, some people who had witnessed it were so scared that they couldn't even stand. If they just came, even if they were strong people, they would at most seek wealth. The unlucky ones were the officials, and the strong ones would be the big families in the city. They could leave quickly after killing and plundering them. They would have nothing to do with them, such as the common people.

But now the problem is big. Hearing the shouts, the one who came last night was the anti-Qing and restoring Ming Dynasty, and he also occupied Yuyao County. This is a real war! You must know that there has been no peace in Zhejiang in recent years. First, Monk Nian Yi was uprising, and then Ye Dazhong's uprising in Siming Mountain. Although they were all extinguished by officers and soldiers, the impact on the local area was extremely serious.

There are many towns involved in these two war disasters, and some nearby villages were even more implicated and killed. The "rebels" came to pull people into the Qing Dynasty to rebel, and the officers and soldiers came to kill the enemy and suppress the rebellion and restore the place. After a while, countless casualties were killed or injured. Yuyao County was lucky enough not to be implicated before, but who thought that this time he was finally trapped in.

"This...what should I do?"

"It's over. If the government forces attack, how can we be removed from the thief's charges in our county?"

"My mother! Let's run quickly..."

Regardless of men, women, young and old, wealthy families or ordinary people, the thoughts that flashed through their minds were despair. If they had known this, they would have escaped from the county town early instead of hiding at home. The crime of thieves would have to behead them! As for whether they could escape last night, whether the "rebel army" could beat the official army, these had already been answered in the hearts of the people.

"Dear elders, fellow villagers, the Grand Marshal appeases the people, and hereby informs us! Except for the Qing Dynasty's lackeys, the rest of the people, the Ming army, have not committed any crimes! At noon today, the Grand Marshal opened the warehouse and released grain. The Grand Marshal must be here..."

The rhythmic shouts were from far to near, from near to far. At the same time, the fully armed rebels were busy posting Anmin's notice. After these people gradually walked away, the closed doors of several households opened silently. Three or five ordinary people carrying bags looked around. Seeing that no one hurriedly went out and ran towards the city gate. However, before they could run far away, they ran head-on with Yuan Qi, patrolling. These people were either stopped by swords and rushed back, or tied up and carried away directly. Some unlucky guys who dared to resist even tried the power of swords and lost their lives in vain.

At the same time, in the Yuyao County Jail, the former prisoner Wang Zhong and his nephew Wang San have gone from prison administrators to prison detainees. Not only their uncles and nephews, but almost all the well-known people in Yuyao County are locked up here. The cell No. 1 A now lives with two masters, Li Guoshi and Li Erzhuang.

"You! Yes, it's you, come here!"

A voice came from outside the prison door. Wang Zhong looked up and saw a man with cloth banana shouting at him.

"Sir... what are your instructions for calling me young..." Wang Zhong quickly squeezed to the door, lowered his head and asked with a smile on his face.

"I heard you are the prison head here?"

"Yes, yes, yes... the little one is the prison leader... But sir, the little one has never harmed anyone. The little one is just a savior."

"Stop talking nonsense, do you want to die or live?"

"I want to live! Please be kind to you!" Uncle and nephew Wang Zhong were the first to be locked up. After taking down the county government, Wang Yousan took the prison. Not only did he release the so-called "heroes" in the rivers and lakes, but he also "rescued" some gangsters.

Now is the time to use people. According to Yuan Qi's instructions, these prisoners are the best-used group of people. After a little selection, they will enrich these people into the "revolutionary team". However, Yuan Qi has too few subordinates. Even if these people are added, there are less than 50. Although Yuyao County is not big, it is still a county town. It is absolutely impossible to rely on these 50 people to control the entire Yuyao County.

When conquering territory, the first thing to do is to pull up the team as soon as possible. Fortunately, Zhou Zhongliang, who was invading the enemy, was a leader. He was familiar with Yuyao County and quickly gathered a group of new forces for Yuan Qi and came up with several more ideas.

He opened the prison door and released Wang Zhong, and then the man led Wang Zhong to the door of another prison cell, where Li Guoshi's family was closed.

"Go! If you solve this old man, you will save your life." He pointed at Li Guoshi's father who was over 70 years old in the prison and threw the dagger to Wang Zhong.

"ah!"

"What? Do you want to die?" the other party asked coldly.

"No...I want to live...I want to live..." Wang Zhong replied hurriedly, beads of sweat the size of beans oozing out of his forehead, and his whole body trembled slightly.

Wang Zhong is not a fool. As the prison chief, he has never seen anything, and the other party's intentions are extremely inconsistent. Now he and Mr. Li can only live one. If he doesn't kill Mr. Li, then he will lose any value to the other party. It is certain that he will lose his life.

Picking up the dagger on the ground, Wang Zhong looked at the panicked Grandpa Li and said bitterly: "Mr. Li, don't blame me. Even if I don't kill you, there will be someone else coming to kill you. Don't worry, I will remember to bring incense sticks to you at this time of year..."

"Don't...don't...national sir! My son! Come and save me...a...a..."

With a scream, Grandpa Li's heart was stabbed with a dagger, and the old man fell to the ground and died immediately.

The result was neat and neat. Wang Zhong pulled out the dagger and wiped the blood from Master Li back and forth, and then respectfully handed the dagger back to the other party: "The little one reported to the adult."

"Haha, I didn't see it was quite straightforward." The man was a little surprised by Wang Zhong's technique.

"To my elders, the little man used to run a butcher shop, and this job was passed down from ancestors." Wang Zhong replied with a smile.

He nodded with satisfaction. The man did not take back the dagger, but patted Wang Zhong on the shoulder with satisfaction and said, "I did a good job. You are my own now, right! Do you have any reliable brothers?"

"Yes, yes! My nephew Wang San is one, and there is a good friend. Both of them are in prison now, and they are both very reliable people." Wang Zhong replied quickly with joy.

"Okay, you know our rules. Now you go and let them go one by one, and you will be your own people after you finish your work."

"I understand, the younger one understands, the younger one will definitely advise them anyway..." Wang Zhong nodded repeatedly to agree, and finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
