Chenzhuang is the most conspicuous among the dozen nearby villages. The villages are all surnamed Chen, with a family property of 200 acres. This generation has produced many strong men who are both civil and military, and they can make connections in the county and prefectures. Usually, clan fights can lead to hundreds of men and women, and even the prominent families in the county are unwilling to provoke them.

However, there is a look of solemnity in Chenjiazhuang now. There are no few people in the country roads. Men, women, young and old are on the walls of earthen walls. Not only do they set up bows and arrows, but they even set up all the bird guns and earthen cannons that they had collected for many years, but they were also ready to beat stones and roll wood. However, everyone's expression did not dare to relax at all.

Hundreds of people were surrounded, and the fate of the entire family of Chen was suspended by the thoughts of these strong men. They stared outside the castle and did not dare to be careless at all.

In the past, there was no one watching the road with traffic. Only the bitter north wind blew. From a distance, I don’t know how many murderous intents were hidden. There were many white flags on the wall of the village, but everyone was far away from these white flags, afraid of attracting something unclean.

"Here is here! Here!"

Several township leaders stood up. They heard the roaring sound of horse hooves, and then rode over like a few horses.

In Wenzhou Prefecture, which belongs to the subtropical region, it is not easy to find such a few fast horses. Everyone saw them holding yellow flags and red turbans in their heads, and their hearts were hanging in their throats, and many old people started to talk in a low voice.

"Bang!" A cavalry shot into the sky, then ran over with a horse trot, glanced at the earthen castle, and shouted: "Chenjiazhuang is so brave. She still has the white flag of clearing the demons. Are you planning to work hard for the old thief of the Sun family until he dies?"

Several township leaders in the village wall had seen big scenes, but no one dared to speak up in the face of the shouting of the Red Turban. The immediately sneer sneered and shouted backwards: "Give them a lot of courage!"

Someone set up a long wooden stick, and the women on the village wall were already screaming. A village brave leader shouted: "This is Mr. Sun!"

"Sun Yigu, Sun Xiaozhe, led more than a thousand regiments of brave men to oppose our Red Turban Army. We killed half of them. Is the orphans and widows in their family? Are you determined to follow the Sun family's old thief and the Red Turban Army?"

Sun Yigu's head was hanging high above the wooden stick, and most of the courageous leader on the village wall had gone. This young master was not simple.

His father and uncle both passed the Jinshi and were both Hanlin. They usually didn't even dare to take care of the county magistrates in the village, but now they are gone silently.

They had long heard of the White Buhui that was frustrated this time, and thousands of people were killed and injured. The bodies and wounded sent by the soldiers passed by the border near Chenjiazhuang. Rumors described the Red Turban Army as three heads and six arms: "The gun was shot like raindrops, and we were all beaten to death in just a quarter of an hour!"

In this era, family is more important than anything else. Although Chenjiazhuang can bring out hundreds of men and women, the Red Turban Army has even opened a county town. How many quarters of an hour can Chenjiazhuang be blocked? If the Red Turban thief opens Chenjiazhuang, what will happen to the men and women in the village?

A township leader who is usually considered to be very brave responded on the village wall: "Brother, this brother, give me some face. It's not that we don't want to hang the yellow flag, but we really can't find the yellow cloth in a hurry. We have sent someone to the county town to buy it!"

The light cavalry below sneered: "No matter what you say, if you Chenjiazhuang don't hang the yellow flag, when the soldiers arrive, what should we do after opening the village? I know what the ending of Yang Shanren Mansion in Yongjia County? Don't blame me for not giving face at that time!"

The leader of the village yong hurriedly said, "Brother, brother, please give me face. Have you married a wife? I will introduce you to a good wife. I will immediately find a few yellow turbans and hang out your yellow flags!"

"I know the rules of hanging flags?"

"I know, I know, I want to hang all the white flags to break the Zhuangzi and not take away the knife. I want to hang all the yellow flags to follow the army to ensure that there is no offense. Half of the yellow flags and half of the white flags are not helpful, but I have to support the soldiers and provide food for the troops!"

"That's good! We'll be back later! If we don't hang the flag at that time, we can only invite Liu Juehu's dragon gun whistle to come!"

As he said that, these light riders had already galloped away by horses.

Several township leaders wiped cold sweat on the village walls. The experienced old man in the clan shouted: "Let's find a few yellow cloths and find the yellow flags! Although we are loyal and righteous families for generations and have friendship with the three masters of Sun, we cannot fill in hundreds of lives! Hurry up and hang the yellow flags! Otherwise, Liu Juehu will come to the door."

Some people asked, "Can you pull the white flag?"

"We don't want to pull out, we don't rely on any side. We are worthy of the three masters Sun. If anyone comes here, we will all pay the food!"

"What should I do if I can't find the yellow cloth? What should I do if I can't find the yellow cloth at home?"

"Buy it now, no matter how much you spend, you will buy it for me. If you can't buy it, you will be dyed immediately. You must hang the yellow flag out!"

However, in one day, Ruian County, which was originally full of white flags, changed color greatly. At least one-third of the villages had already hung flags. Although there were often more white flags and only a few yellow flags, they also represented a tendency - this war had nothing to do with them, and they were all good servants who came.

The closer we got to the Red Turban Army, the more villages were hanging yellow flags. Even Liu Chang didn't expect that there were three or five villages who pulled out all the white flags, only hung yellow flags, and wrapped them in red scarves. This was the intention of being willing to work with the Red Turban Army.

After a little inquiry, Liu Chang realized that it was not because of how high the awareness of these villages were, nor because they wanted to follow the Red Turban Army to kill officials and rebel, but because they had something to do with the clan conflicts among the people.

The Sun family and the most prestigious clans in the county can be regarded as the mainstay of the White Bush Association, but after hundreds of years of glory, there are naturally countless enemies, not to mention that the countryside is most likely to cause conflicts. Whether it is marrying a wife and daughter, fighting for land and water, or even trivial matters that are big, they can trigger clan fighting among hundreds of people.

These villages, which were usually in a weak position, finally got the opportunity to revenge, so they simply raised yellow flags and followed the Red Turban Army to fight, preparing to return all the grievances they suffered in the past few decades.

However, with the local response, the Red Turban Army's momentum was greatly shocked, and the advance was not fast, but there were already thousands of new recruits coming to serve.

But in this way, the business of several cloth stores in the county town was very prosperous, but the shopkeeper's brows were furious. The amount of yellow cloth was usually used, and it was sold out in less than half a day. Where did the yellow cloth be transferred?

People with agility thought about transferring yellow cloth from Fucheng or even Fujian. The price of yellow cloth has increased by five or six times, and it is still impossible to buy it on the market. Several dyeing workshops have also stopped all their business, so they are all focused on dyeing yellow cloth. The government has taken care of it several times, but why can't it be controlled?

Even many families who are regarded as the backbone of the White Cloth Club are secretly buying yellow cloth. The yamen servants themselves have been asked to help buy more yellow cloth. How could they manage it well? Now they have to dye a few pieces of yellow cloth. If they only have money, they have to have a way.

The interested people have already kept a close eye on the red scarf, which is still unattended, and are preparing to secretly stock up on a batch of red cloth for later use.

Even when the Taiping Army surrounded Guilin, Sun Qiangming was not so angry: "The Red Enemy was so vicious, beyond my expectations, how could I explain to my brother!"

Although his brother Sun Yiyan was in his prime, he was not as old as a white-haired man to send black-haired man, and his youngest son was smart and had been studying in Beijing with his father, the pain of losing his son was not something that ordinary people could bear.

Sun Jiayan beside him comforted his brother: "The viciousness of the red thief is better than the bandits. This method is said to be a poisonous plan made by Liu Juehu to Qu Zhenhai. As long as our brothers capture this thief, they will definitely cut him into pieces and avenge Yigu's nephew!"

"Liu Juehu, Liu Juehu! This thief is so hateful!" Sun Qianming gritted his teeth with hatred: "If he invades Ruian City, he will be told to go without returning!"

Xu Muqian beside him comforted: "In-law, don't be too angry. Ruicheng's attack and defense are all in your own hands!"

He said again: "Also, in terms of Tai Yong, I have contacted people. Three hundred Zhuang Yong only needs 2,700 silver dollars to be willing to serve the court!"

"Thank you, my in-laws!" Sun Qiangming gritted his teeth: "With these three hundred brave men, there is a little more chance of winning. I will send the leader of the association to contact us."

These three hundred Tai Yongs have been active near Ruian, and they are considered as giving money to the mother's character, but their combat effectiveness is pretty good, which is good news for Sun Qianming.

He breathed a long sigh and tried his best to wake up from the blow of the death of his nephew's death. However, he heard a few horses galloping in the distance, and shouted: "As the official guarding the territory, Kang Zhengji left without fighting and abandoning the city. His crimes were unforgivable. He was killed and sentenced to the entire mansion!"

It was Kang Zhengji's head of the army, and there were also Yunsi, Daotai, prefect and general, etc., who came with him a secret order from the prefecture and county officials.

Xu Muqian breathed a sigh of relief on the city wall: "In-law, it seems that reinforcements have left the city."
