Chapter 99: Burning Farmland
Chapter 99: Burning Farmland
Laotie Mountain is located at the very end of the Qianshan Mountain Range, which is a branch of the Changbai Mountain Range. It runs through the entire Liaodong Peninsula in a northeast-southwest direction.
Laotie Mountain, which is close to the ocean, has steep cliffs and is a great place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
On the top of the mountain, Juyi Hall.
"Boss, the rice at the foot of the mountain is almost ripe. It will probably be ready for harvest in about ten days."
"When the time comes, we will grab a lot, even some young girls and wives, and have a good year. My brothers will also want to eat meat and drink wine."
A middle-aged strong man in a brown short-sleeved shirt and a full beard put down the brown rice in his hand, a hint of lust flashed in his turbid eyes, and he said with a smile.
Now the entire Liaodong Peninsula fell into the hands of Shen Yuanliang, and with work-for-relief, for nearly half a year, as long as one had some strength, one could have enough food and clothing.
The bandits that were numerous in the past gradually disappeared under Shen Yuanliang's repeated attacks. Most of the people who were still bandits at this time were long-time bandits who could not change.
Asking them to lay down their swords and work hard all day to earn a meager salary is something these bandits cannot and do not want to adapt to.
"Wait another ten days? No, we'll set out tomorrow morning and burn all the rice fields."
"This year is a bumper harvest year, but unfortunately, it was all watered with the blood of our noble families. How can we let them get it so easily?"
Qian Da Dangjia, who was wearing a frosty white round-necked robe and looked like a young master from an aristocratic family, put the brown rice in his hand upside down on the wooden table and said angrily with red eyes.
Qian, the head of Laotie Mountain, was a fish that slipped through the net. On the day Shen Yuanliang captured Yongning City, he confiscated more than a dozen wealthy families, including the Qian family.
Young Master Qian, who was drinking and having fun outside, escaped the disaster. With his family destroyed, he took his servant and became the king of the mountain. He made Laotie Mountain his base and recruited long-time bandits from everywhere.
More than half a year has passed, and the once sparsely populated Laotie Mountain is now bustling with people. Including menial servants, there are more than 2,000 people, which can be said to be a strong and powerful force.
"Burned?"
Hearing the boss's words, the middle-aged man with a full beard was stunned and a little bit unbelieving. He asked stumblingly, "Boss, wouldn't it be a pity to burn it?"
"We have secretly looked at the farmland at the foot of the mountain. It is very fertile. It is estimated that the yield per mu is four stones. If the farmland has a good harvest, it means we have a good harvest."
If a bandit wants to live a good life, he has to rely on robbing, and the food in people's homes is the best target for robbery. Not only is it easy, but it is also worth some money. Now he wants to burn it, and the middle-aged strong man is unwilling to do so.
He just raised his head and glanced at the expressionless boss, then fell silent. He sat down obediently and ate the brown rice in the coarse porcelain bowl.
"Son."
At this moment, a young man in black clothes and holding a folding fan rushed in and said anxiously, "Shen Yuanliang, the butcher, is back."
"Over a hundred large Fu ships landed in Yongning City. Our people saw them clearly. They were all dressed in bright silver armor, wrapped tightly like tin cans."
The young man holding the folding fan is Qian Kai, the servant of the head of the Qian family. Now he is the "military advisor" of the entire Laotie Mountain, responsible for making plans and even gathering intelligence.
"Humph! Shen Yuanliang, this butcher and executioner, also calls himself 'Yuan', which means the beginning of a new year, and 'Liang', which means a kind-hearted person. Pah!"
"We can't wait any longer. We have to set out at dawn tomorrow morning and try to burn millions of acres of fertile land. We have to burn it for three days and three nights." After scooping the poured brown rice back into the coarse porcelain bowl, Qian, the boss, squinted his eyes, frowned, and ordered calmly.
The reason they chose Laotie Mountain was because it was easy to defend and difficult to attack. In addition, it was close to the sea, so they could escape at any time. With a fallback plan, Qian Dadangjia acted without any scruples, even unscrupulously.
The sun was rising, and the red sun was shining on Laotie Mountain. At the foot of the mountain, more than a thousand bandits who were ready to go were divided into six teams, each riding two horses, and swept from south to north.
"Burn it. Burn it all."
"Hahaha! Shen Yuanliang, this is just the beginning!"
The raging fire spread out, burning half the sky red. Thick black smoke covered the sky and the sun. Thick straw ash flew everywhere, and a "black rain" fell.
Suddenly, strong winds blew up between heaven and earth, and a strong southeast wind arrived as expected. The wind fanned the fire, and an orange-red fire dragon stretched for hundreds of miles, boiling the sea.
"Put out the fire quickly, damn bandits! This year is finally a good year for harvest, but a big fire destroyed everything. How are we going to survive?"
"I've worked so hard and put in so much sweat, but a big fire will turn everything into nothing. Let's fight them!"
"Quick, work in groups of three to put out the fire. Save as much as you can. Don't let the fire set the house on fire again."
More and more people joined the fire-fighting team. Under the leadership of their respective village heads and headmen, the raging fire was gradually contained. However, the crops in the fields were all burned to charcoal and gone.
There were many people crying and wailing, and some even could not accept this cruel reality and were ready to commit suicide to end their miserable lives, thinking that this life was not worth living.
The next day, Huya Mountain.
"My lord, something terrible has happened. The bandits from Laotie Mountain have divided into six groups and are sweeping across Jinzhou. They are setting fires everywhere and burning farmland."
"Today, about 300,000 mu of rice has been burned, and the bandits have killed more than 300 people, even newborn babies, and even robbed 400 to 500 women and brought them up the mountain."
A skinny monkey in a black robe and with a dark face rushed in hurriedly, pursed his cracked lips, and said with a very unpleasant expression.
With a loud "bang", upon hearing the bad news, a well-made teacup was smashed to the ground by Shen Yuanliang and broke into pieces.
Shen Yuanliang's veins popped out, and his face turned red with anger: "What do you do for a living? The bandits in Laotie Mountain are so rampant, why do you keep him around? Are you preparing for the New Year?"
"Skinny monkey, don't focus all your attention on the Ming Dynasty and the Later Jin Jiannu in the future. Always be alert to the little mouse at home and kill it as soon as possible."
After instructing the skinny monkey, Shen Yuanliang immediately turned his gaze to the stone and ordered with a frosty face: "You will be given three days to wipe out Laotie Mountain."
The fist as big as a casserole pounded on his chest, making a "bang bang" sound. Shi Tou's honest face revealed a stern murderous intent. He narrowed his eyes and said firmly: "Brother Liang, you don't need three days, one day will be enough."
"I guarantee that those bandits from Laotie Mountain will not see the sun tomorrow. Not a single one of them will survive."
