Chapter 6 "Set up this as a record" (6)

Xiaojiao In the eighth year of Chongzhen (1635) in Xinzheng, one of Zhang Xianzhong's [2] units was trapped in Zhichao County, Anhui. Shen Guoyuan, a native of Xiushui, was killed there.In the spring of this year, Shangyu Luo Zhenchang re-edited and published it, and renamed it "The Story of the Rogue Trapped in the Nest" [3].There is such a text in it: "On the night of the Lantern Festival, the moonlight is clear and clear, as bright as the day. The residents' shrine in front of the town is on fire, and Yan Dayin worships it to put it out; remind the city people not to turn on the lights. Shiyu and his friend Xue Xizhen and Yang Ziqiao walked on the street together, Everyone has a look of worry, because the bandits are very sharp, defenseless, and the city cannot be defended. Talking in the streets, everyone talks about bandits, and each of them uses the word "coming" to frighten each other. When the bandits arrive, they all shout "come" in unison. It's coming': Is it not a market prophecy or a harbinger?"

There is "Coming" in the book, which is only speculation, but it is a concrete description; and the thief himself shouted "Coming", which was unexpected by the author.This principle is easy to understand: "thief" is the ear of the people, so fleeing is different from chasing, but the words they shout are the same: changing places is the same. Another cloud: "On the twenty-second day,...after Yu...after hiding gold, I immediately heard that there were people who fell with each other, those who groaned in pain, and those who were swaddled. When they heard that thieves were coming, there was no place to enter. The truth of life It’s a hopeless situation. A bandit wanders forward, but only one man strikes the ground with a knife to protest his ear; there are fierce dogs chasing him, but he runs away in fear. …”

Without the oppression, killing and anesthesia of the Song, Yuan and Ming dynasties, it would not be possible to go to this field.The people awakened in the spring four years ago,[4] and the upbringing of the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties also woke up.
