Spring City was conquered by the Qin army?
Hearing the sounds of hooves and shouts on the streets, the commoners hiding in their homes were all shocked. How long had it been? With just a series of explosions, Spring City had been occupied by the Qin army.
The king of Qin ordered that the head should be left without braids, and the braids should be left without the head.
When the commoners heard this order, they did not know what to do for a moment. Some were excited, some were afraid, some were loyal, and of course, there were also some who wanted to follow the masses.
In a mansion with three entrances and three exits, Wang Daoyi looked at the scissors in his hand with a bitter expression, hesitating whether to cut it off.
From the moment he first met Qin Jun, he felt that this was no ordinary person. Reality proved that his intuition was right.
Madam Wang, who was at the side, saw that he was in a dilemma and advised softly,"Old Master, I don't think we should cut it. The Qin army only has a few thousand people. When the imperial court's army arrives, how can they defeat them? If we cut the braids now, we will definitely be captured and beheaded by the government.”
What he said made sense. Wang Daoyi put down the scissors.
But the next second, he began to hesitate. He picked up the scissors and placed them on the braid. A voice in his heart told him that if he did not cut off the braid today, his head would very likely fall to the ground.
Bang!
A gunshot suddenly rang out at the door, scaring him so much that he tightened his grip and used the sharp scissors to cut off the braid.
Ta, ta, ta.
Five Qin soldiers, who were dressed in an unconventional fashion in this era, walked in. The leader looked at him and waved his hand to give the order.
"Search, if you meet anyone with braids, shoot them on the spot!”
What?
Not far away, the two servants panicked and turned to run.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
With two gunshots, the servant who was shot in the back fell to the ground. Blood flowed out, scaring Wang Daoyi and his wife so much that they trembled. They hugged each other and lowered their heads, not daring to breathe.
They finally understood why the Ming Rui Army had been defeated, and why they had been defeated so quickly without causing any commotion.
With such a sharp flintlock in hand, who could block it?
He had just seen that Qin soldier fire a shot, and in less than two breaths, he quickly fired a second shot. It seemed that he could fire a third shot at the same speed…a fourth shot…
Bang, bang, bang.
Gunshots, cries, and pleas for mercy kept coming. A few minutes later, the soldiers who went to search returned. Wang Daoyi knew that he was the only man alive in the mansion. At the same time, he was secretly glad that his son and grandson were in other provinces and not in Spring City.
"Retreat, next shop!"
The five soldiers ignored the couple and turned to leave, quickly disappearing from sight.
Ah!
Madam Wang screamed when she could no longer see him. She patted her chest and panted heavily. She was really scared to death just now.
Wang Daoyi threw the braid on the ground and patted her back to comfort her."Madam, fortunately, I made a prompt decision. Otherwise, I would have died today.”
After saying that, he listened to the gunfire all over the city. He knew that every time it rang out, it meant that a person had died.
"Sigh…I wonder how many people will die in Spring City today.”
……
Indeed, blood flowed like a river.
Four hours later, apart from the soldiers guarding the city, the 3000 men of the Qin army's first regiment were all mobilized. They split up into platoons and went out to search every house. The cavalry patrolled the streets in groups of three. If they encountered a large crowd, they would immediately use machine guns to suppress them.
For a moment, Spring City fell into panic because the Qin army really knew how to kill people.
Many people had the same thoughts as Madam Wang. They were all worried that after the Qin army was wiped out by the imperial court, they would definitely be beheaded after cutting off their braids.
However, if he didn't cut his braids now, he would die immediately.
Therefore, 80% of men cut off their braids immediately. As long as there was life, there was hope. Survival was the most important thing.
The remaining 20% were diehards. Not only did they not cut their braids, but they also gathered tens of thousands of people on the streets near Guandu Town to resist.
"We won't cut our braids, nor will we resist your rule. If you want to force us to cut our braids, then please leave this place.”
"Yes, I don't want to cut it. Anything else is fine, but I don't want to cut the braids.”
"You're forcing us commoners to a dead end.”
Fight to the death?
Qin Jun, who was riding on Black Wind Patrol, became interested. He rode his horse forward, and the hundred soldiers who were aiming their guns automatically made way for him.
A cultured person?
After seeing it clearly, Qin Jun's expression darkened, and the anger in his eyes was brewing.
Looking at their attire, they were definitely cultured people.
He didn't expect that the ones who resisted the most were the cultured people. How ironic.
"I want to ask, what is the point of your resistance?”
The crowd also saw the young man riding on the tall horse. From his appearance and aura, they knew that this should be Qin Jun, or Qin Wang.
Due to the imposing manner, no one dared to reply for a moment.
Finally, a young man mustered up his courage and replied,""To establish the will of heaven and earth, to establish the lives of the people, to inherit the ultimate arts of the past saints, and to create peace for all generations!”
"Studying is also to serve the imperial court!”
Hahahahaha.
Hearing this, Qin Jun couldn't help but laugh out loud. His laughter was very sad, and at the same time, there was a hint of sadness and anger.
Generous people often follow the dog butcher generation, the most unfaithful people are scholars.
Thinking about the actions of the scholars in Donglin and the Party when the Ming Dynasty was about to collapse, he was really disappointed.
"Reading is so that you won't forget your ancestors, understand?”
