Chapter 14 What Rebels to vote for, do it yourself!
In April of the 12th year of Zhizheng, Liu Futong officially revolted, and then the Red Turban Army of the White Lotus Sect set off a wave of destroying the Yuan Dynasty.
At this time, there was more than half a year before the Red Turban Army Uprising.
"What should we do? You can't wait here to eat, drink, right?" Zhu Chongba said.
More than 20 people have no problem spending their food and drink. What Zhu Chongba is afraid of is that over time, people's hearts will dissipate.
"Brother, according to the rumors I have heard, Han Shantong and others from the White Lotus Sect should raise their troops as soon as next spring. Let's take advantage of this time to recruit soldiers here and practice fighting. When the White Lotus Sect raises troops and then pulls up people to join, why don't you give me a general?" Zhu Qiwu said.
What are the strengths of the rebel army, the hundred households and the like, are all sergeants who charge in battle, they are nothing more than the size.
But if you have the title of general, you are equivalent to a partner of the rebel army and belong to a certain leader.
Although the White Lotus Sect has not yet raised an uprising, it will not deviate from this rule.
When Zhu Chongba and others heard this, they immediately felt that it made sense.
"General? We don't know each other, why should we give him a general?" Zhu Chongba said with some concerns.
"Why? Of course it's up to this!"
Zhu Qiwu slapped the steel knife on his waist and said calmly.
"Then tell us quickly, what should I do?" Zhu Chongba nodded and continued to ask.
Zhu Qiwu's series of arrangements made them smooth sailing. Zhu Chongba felt that no matter what he did, he could no longer do without his younger brother's advice.
"Brother, this is not difficult!"
"There have been famine for years and there are refugees everywhere. We can renovate this dilapidated temple, put the name of a temple, give some porridge, recruit refugees around us, and select the young and strong people inside to join us!"
"In this way, the troops will gradually be established, and then we will continue to plunder a few bullies and powerful people. Then we will have money and food, and we will be able to train our troops and horses!"
"When Bailian teaches them to raise their troops, we will become a general or something, it's not easy!"
As soon as Zhu Qiwu finished speaking, Zhu Chongba and others were both surprised and happy.
They never thought that there was such a way.
"Qiwu, you really have to say it!" Zhu Chongbayi slapped his thigh and grinned.
They now have money, food, swords and guns!
If he had just joined the rebels in this way, Zhu Chongba was really dissatisfied.
Now when I heard Zhu Qiwu's plan, I felt enlightened.
To put it in another way, it means that the pattern has been opened.
"Qiwu, what you said is so good!" Tang He agreed with his thumbs up.
"Yes, if that's the case, let's get more armor and weapons, and everyone will get a set of iron armor, that's the majesty!" Xu Da also said immediately.
The rest of Zhou Dexing and others also agreed with Zhu Qiwu.
"Haha, since everyone agrees, let's make the decision and change this land temple into a temple first!" Zhu Chongba made the final decision.
They now have several large trucks of gold, silver and treasures in their hands. It is not simple to repair a dilapidated temple.
Zhu Chongba first led his men to dig several cellars in the dilapidated temple courtyard, then hid all the gold, silver, jewelry, grain and cloth, and then took out a hundred taels of silver to go to Haozhou City to purchase iron pots and Buddha-giving utensils, which were essential items to prepare for opening a temple.
When everyone was buying these temple items, they happened to meet the murderer who searched the "Diao Family Case" in the city.
There are places such as tile shops in Haozhou City, flower building secret doors and cockfighting casinos.
Anyone with suspicious people will be taken away and questioned.
Zhu Chongba and his friends saw the government arresting people in Haozhou City, and they were immediately scared and sweated.
Xu Da, Tang He and others looked at each other, feeling scared.
Several people thought to themselves: Brother Qiwu is right. If the Diao family’s money is divided, it will definitely be a life-threatening person to spend it!
The poor are suddenly rich, and who would not want to come to Haozhou City to have fun, fight cocks, eat wine and make money, and seek flowers and ask willows. These are absolutely essential items.
The people arrested by the Haozhou government were all from here.
"Okay, stop watching, go back soon."
Zhu Chongba said to the few, then hurriedly drove away in the carriage.
Although the investigation in Haozhou City was strict, there was no doubt about the monks and craftsmen who wanted to build the temple.
After all, no one would have thought that the first expense of the "Forty Thieves" who were famous for making a fortune was to build a temple.
Even if you say this kind of thing, no one believes it.
Zhu Chongba and others, Haozhou, were in danger.
After they came back, they admired Zhu Qiwu again.
"Qiwu, you are really Zhuge Kongming's reincarnation, it's really accurate!" Tang He praised Zhu Qiwu as soon as he came back.
Xu Da, Zhou Dexing and others are all the same.
Zhu Qiwu was confused and asked Zhu Chongba: "Brother, what's going on?"
Zhu Chongba told Zhu Qiwu about his experiences in Haozhou City again.
"Oh, so that's it. What did I think it was!" Zhu Qiwu smiled indifferently.
After a major case, you must avoid the limelight.
Xu Da, Tang He and others did not expect this truth at that time.
However, Zhu Qiwu was a human being in his two lives and had the advantage of being knowledgeable. If he didn't know this, it would be too embarrassing.
Such a small matter is not worth mentioning for Zhu Qiwu now.
He glanced at the carriage that Zhu Chongba and others rushed back.
"Brother, have you bought all the things we want?" Zhu Qiwu asked.
Zhu Chongba pointed to the several large carriages behind him and said proudly.
"We have already bought it. Our Longxing Temple will be able to open the temple soon!"
At Zhu Qiwu's suggestion, the temple that was about to be built was named "Longxing Temple".
Zhu Chongba and others all thought... this is really a good name, both dragon and excitement, and it can definitely bring good luck.
"That's good. When we build Longxing Temple, we will immediately open a porridge shop to recruit refugees!" Zhu Qiwu was also very happy.
Now my sign-in reward has been slightly improved, which is definitely a good sign.
"Huh? Qiwu, what are you drawing in your hand?" Zhu Chongba suddenly asked.
Since he came back, Zhu Qiwu has been holding a piece of paper in his hand, not knowing what he had drawn.
"Brother, this is the drawing I drew. The construction of our Longxing Temple is based on this." Zhu Qiwu handed the drawing in his hand to Zhu Chongbadao.
"Qiwu, can't we understand?" Zhu Chongba took it and looked at it, and immediately said in a daze.
This drawing painted by Zhu Qiwu uses contour marks from later generations to include all the strategic points around Longxing Temple. Naturally, the paintings are a bit complicated, and it is normal for Zhu Chongba to not understand them.
