"You are really desperate! Do you know who this is? Master Wu! When you go in and out of the capital, you can walk on the ground. There is nothing in the sky or on the earth that cannot be done!"
Several militiamen were also frightened. They didn't understand why they were so impulsive. It was obviously a play. Every New Year's Eve and temple fairs, it was performed, and there were huge crowds of people watching, but it was just like this.
Above!
That girl named Zhen'e was like their own sister, and that Pei Dalang was like their own incarnation, and he even did things they didn't dare to do, but he died in the hands of a dog Tatar.
Seeing Pei Dalang kill the landlord's family, it was a heart-warming and satisfying scene, and then he died in the hands of a dog official.
It exploded immediately, and several people rushed up to beat them without thinking!
Now that they have calmed down, they realize that they were wrong.
But no matter what, this drama is really good!
Backstage at this moment, both Zhang Ximeng and Zhu Yuanzhang came over. Wu Datou's eyes were blue, his cheeks were bleeding, and his ribs were sore. This was such a good beating that it almost cost him half his life.
"Old Wu, you are too weak. You can't bear this with your fists? How can you be the number one villain?" Zhang Ximeng also teased Wu Datou.
Wu Datou's face turned dark, "I told you about Zhang experience, don't make fun of me... Now that I'm injured, can I ask for leave? I won't go to Ning Guo Road's performance!"
"How can that be done!" Zhu Yuanzhang actually refused directly, "Well, I'll give you a double salary. You must act in Ning Guolu's play, and you must go as soon as possible!"
Wu Datou was startled, he did not dare to talk to Lao Zhu, and said hurriedly: "I understand the humble position, in fact, there is no need for double salary, the humble position does not, I don't care."
Zhang Ximeng smiled and said, "Idiot! My lord gives you a double salary. That is recognition of your performance. My lord just praised you!"
Lao Zhu nodded, "Yes, sir, you are right. If you act well and act out the inner thoughts of our poor people, you will be a great hero! You are simply better than thousands of troops!"
Hearing Lao Zhu's compliment, Wu Datou immediately became energetic. His waist no longer hurts, his legs are no longer sore, and he can walk with more energy. He can do a few more fights like this!
Let’s go!
People say that when the army has not moved, food and grass go first, but for the Zhu Jiajun, the army has not moved, and public opinion goes first.
The seat of Ningguo Road is Xuancheng, which is also the famous hometown of the Four Treasures of the Study, the place where rice paper, Xuan brushes, and Hui ink are produced... It can be called a gathering of humanities and cultural contexts.
There are many temple fairs in Xuancheng, and every new year, troupes from all over the country come to perform.
There are various festive programs about loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, beauties and talents, and all kinds of festive programs, one after the other. If it is a peaceful year, it can be lively for a month or two. From the year before to February 2, there will be something good to watch.
But this year, the situation is not as good as before. Jinling fell into the hands of the red thieves, and all kinds of random rumors are rampant... The government offices are constantly recruiting civilians and mobilizing food and grass, saying that they are going to deal with the red thieves, but they don't see how they are preparing for war.
Instead, they kept shipping out fine gold and silver.
It looked like he was getting ready to run away.
But the powerful landlords were particularly afraid, and they kept telling the people that the red thieves had red hair, green eyes, three heads and six arms, and specialized in eating people, especially women and children. They liked to eat human flesh with human blood, and the entire Jinling City
They were all reduced to pieces.
This statement does not seem to be new. Before the Zhu Jiajun entered Chuzhou, some people also said this, and it will be said in countless places in the future. The key is whether anyone will believe it and whether anyone will stand up to refute it!
Some militiamen who have taken action are spreading the word that Zhu Jiajun is a good person and is really doing good for the people. Don't believe the nonsense of those bad people.
The common people are also doubtful about this statement. They have experienced too much suffering. Over the years, no navy really cares about the common people. They only care about the common people's money, food and even their lives.
What does Zhu Jiajun look like? Sorry, we don’t know!
In this silence, Wu Datou led the troupe to Xuancheng. Their first performance was at Guangde Temple... The person enshrined here is Zhang Bo, a flood control hero in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Legend has it that he once transformed into a pig god, opened up the mountains, and attracted water from Taihu Lake for irrigation. Since then, the weather has been smooth and the grain has been abundant, and he has been worshiped by people throughout the ages.
In the land of China, it has always been like this. What is respected is the ancestors, and what is feared are heroes... who are born as humans and become gods after death. People in the past dynasties have created a huge system of gods and goddesses, and every hero worthy of respect is
They all arranged a magical position.
The unparalleled loyalty Guan Yu became the Great Emperor of Xie Tian, and a kind-hearted woman from the Lin family was honored as the Concubine of Mazu. Yue Pengju, who was resented by the turmoil and had unrealized ambitions, became one of the ten eunuchs of Dongyue, the boss of the Nine Heavens Divine Soldiers, and controlled the souls of the five prisons.
; Bao Zheng, an upright official, presides over injustices in the world during the day, and redresses the grievances of evil ghosts at night. He has the final say in both the Yin and Yang worlds, and he does not rest twenty-four hours a day... In fact, the legend may not be true, but people's desires are determined by what they want.
It has never changed since ancient times.
Today, another big drama will be staged in front of the Guangde Temple, which commemorates the heroes of flood control.
When the news spread, people from all over the country were alarmed. Although life was difficult, they had to go on.
I thought there would be no opera troupes this year, but I didn’t expect that there would be some who were not afraid of death!
Then come and see what good show you can perform!
Before going on stage, everyone shook their heads when they saw the name of the play, "The White-Haired Girl", I've never heard of it. Why don't you play something good for this Chinese New Year?
The Eight Immortals praying for birthdays, the White Ape stealing peaches, the Five Blessings bringing longevity... the worst is a yellow beam dream!
Why is it so exciting!
Today's troupe is so ignorant that it looks like it will probably lose money.
Amid everyone's suspicion, the drama unfolded.
When everyone looked at their appearance again, they were even more disappointed. This troupe was really poor. They didn't even have a single piece of good clothes. They were just patches on top of each other. They were almost like beggars.
Nothing to see!
Some people actually turned around and left, but not far away, there was a startled voice behind them.
Those who didn't walk seemed to have their feet nailed to the ground, motionless! Their eyes were fixed on the stage, and they couldn't take their eyes away... It turned out to be the landlord who sent someone to say that he would not lend the cattle!
This scene looks so familiar, why does it feel like it has happened before?
what to do?
What should I do?
This father and daughter are so pitiful. No wonder they are wearing patches. Isn't this just like us?
More and more people were watching intently, and those who were about to leave actually turned back. The play became more and more exciting... Pei Dalang helped the father and daughter, and the villagers encouraged them to get married, singing on the road in the countryside.
Nursery rhyme, poor but beautiful. Isn’t this the life they live!
Just when the two were about to get married, the sky collapsed and the painting style suddenly changed... The Mongolian dog official snatched the bride away, injured the groom's official, and the father committed suicide by hanging from a beam.
The sadness that comes over me hits my heart!
I think I’ve seen this story before!
Yes! I've seen it too! It's my neighbor, and this happened to him.
Some people even cried and cried, and tears kept falling. This is how his wife was taken away!
It's a pity that he doesn't have Pei Dalang's courage and doesn't dare to kill anyone for revenge!
So when Pei Dalang rushed into the landlord's house and killed several people in a row, there was a roaring sound in the audience... Kill well! Kill happily!
That’s how it should be done!
But soon everyone realized that this was still a tragedy...a bigger tragedy. After all, Pei Dalang was still too weak. He could kill the landlord, but in the face of Mongolian officials, his courage was of no use and the assassination failed.
, was hung at the city gate.
People were so sad and angry that they gritted their teeth.
And just when Zhen'e rushed out of the house, saw Pei Dalang's body, bumped her head, and had a miscarriage... the whole atmosphere reached its extreme, like a volcano rising into the sky.
Everyone was yelling and cursing angrily, and some people even rushed to the stage to beat up the actors!
What the hell are you acting?
Normal life is already like this. If you want to watch a show and have a good time, why do you still do these things?
We don’t see it, but we know it!
We know better than you, we live like this every day... There are always such poor people among our relatives, friends and fellow villagers, their families are broken up, their wives and children are separated.
We have no choice, please, don't let us see it!
People's grief and anger were all released, and their emotions surged like a mountain torrent... Fortunately, the theater troupe had anticipated it and tried their best to persuade everyone to calm down. The play is not over yet, it's not over yet!
Sure enough, Zhen'e narrowly escaped death, but her hair turned gray overnight. She was less than twenty, and she was like an old woman, living as humbly as a dog among a group of beggars.
In this hellish despair, a young man appeared. He asked a group of beggars for information and actually recognized Zhen'e!
It turns out that he is Pei Dalang's cousin. When he was still young, he ran around at the wedding and even called Zhen'e sister-in-law. He once helped Pei Dalang as a sentry and went to the landlord's house to kill people to avenge him.
After Pei Dalang's death, he defected to Zhu Jiajun. Seven years later, it was time to settle the general accounts. Under a large vermilion flag, thousands of red scarf troops came to kill... The city gates were opened, and the army entered the city to kill the Mongolian officials.
Immediately, a notice was issued to divide the acres of land equally and return the plundered people's property.
Not only did Zhen'e get back her family's land, but she was also allocated more than ten acres. She had harvests and had better food. Gradually, she recovered.
Three years later, on Qingming Festival, she went to visit the graves of her father and Pei Dalang. She happened to meet her cousin who had returned to his hometown due to an injury. He also came to pay homage to his cousin Pei Dalang... The encounter between the two at the grave ended abruptly!
The play is over, but the shock has just begun... Everyone asks themselves, who is not Zhen'e! Who doesn't expect someone to avenge themselves and make decisions for themselves?
Zhu Jiajun!
That crimson flag is deeply imprinted in people’s hearts!
Where is Zhu Jiajun?
Zhu Jiajun is back?
Will it really be like the one in the play?
Will they let the people make the decision?
Will it?
For a time, countless people were asking, is there Zhu Jiajun?
At this moment, the earliest militiamen were extremely happy. They immediately spread the news everywhere and told each other about Zhu Jiajun's affairs and promoted Zhu Jiajun's policies.
The most important thing is to invite the theater troupe to come over and mobilize the people while acting, so that the best effect can be achieved!
In ten days, Wu Datou and the others performed a total of twenty-five performances, until their voices became hoarse.
In the past ten days, the number of militiamen on Ningguo Road has exceeded 15,000!
On average, more than a thousand people join the army every day!
It doesn’t snowball so quickly!
When the time finally came, Zhu Yuanzhang waved his army, with Xu Da and Chang Yuchun as the left and right wings, and entered Ninggu Road, aiming directly at Xuancheng...
