Zhu Chongba and Tang He all opened their eyes in excitement, as if they wanted to eat the old things... They couldn't help but hate that Jia Lu was repairing the river. So many civilians were recruited and many families were destroyed. In the process of repairing the river, there were many people.
How many people died from exhaustion?
A widely circulated little order can best express the opinions of the people.
"The great Yuan Dynasty, the treacherous and sycophantic dictatorship. The opening of the river has become the source of troubles, causing thousands of red scarves. The official laws are excessive, the criminal laws are heavy, and the people are resentful. People eat people, money buys money, never seen before. Thieves become officials, officials become thieves, sad
How pitiful."
The two things that the common people resented the most were the banknote conversion. One of them was done by Jia Lu, and he was almost half the culprit.
At least that's what most people think.
I wish I could light Jia Lu's sky lantern.
Zhu Chongba grabbed Fei Ju's arm and asked eagerly: "Are you really an old man? Don't lie to us!"
Fei Ju hurriedly said: "How dare you be in such a humble position! What a coincidence, when I went to Linhuai Town, I happened to find someone robbing the ferry and trying to cross the river, so I blocked it. At first, I only found a civil servant, and he led
There was such a big box, I thought it was treasure, so I cut it off, and when I opened it, I found it was a person!"
Fei Ju saw that the other party was old and sick, but he didn't realize that he was Jia Lu.
In the end, the old man spoke on his own, not only revealing his identity, but also telling Fei Ju that his head was valuable and could give him a bright future.
After Zhu Chongba heard what he said, he slowly said: "This old man is right. If you give Jia Lu to the commander, you will definitely get a heavy reward! If you give it to us, there is nothing we can do."
For you."
Fei Ju was slightly startled, his heart pounding wildly.
In troubled times, there are only two paths. Either start your own business, or follow a promising boss. As long as you are right, you can make huge profits and benefit endlessly!
Of course, if you choose the wrong one, the consequences will be serious!
Fei Ju suddenly knelt on the ground, "I'm a little man with a rough background, and I don't understand any big principles. I just think that if you want to achieve great things, you must have a big heart and ability... I won't say anything else, I just obey you! From now on.
After that, I will follow Mr. Zhu!"
Lao Zhu was also stunned for a moment. He would experience this kind of thing countless times in the rest of his life, but no matter what, the first time was unforgettable.
In fact, Fei Ju is not the first, or even the second.
After all, Zhang Ximeng was the one who first encouraged Lao Zhu. As for Tang He, when he was defending the city, he also placed himself under Zhu Chongba and served as his subordinate honestly.
But Fei Ju was the first simple subordinate that Lao Zhu prepared to develop independently, and he was officially transferred to him, which was of great significance and unusual.
Lao Zhu pulled Fei Ju up, patted him hard on the shoulder, then took off his own saber and gave it to Fei Ju.
"From now on, you will be my personal guard! We leave this life to you!"
Fei Ju took the knife with trembling hands, his heart and blood surging, "As long as I'm here, no one can even think of hurting a single hair of Mr. Zhu!"
Zhang Ximeng watched from the side and could only nod secretly. He is worthy of being the founding king of the country. This method of winning over people's hearts is really powerful!
Now that Linhuai has been captured and Jia Lu has been captured, we must go there without further delay.
Even Zhang Ximeng got a horse, Fei Ju led the way, and Zhu Chongba led the big guys and five hundred soldiers straight to Linhuai.
Zhang Ximeng followed the crowd and walked forward. When they passed a place, Zhu Chongba suddenly remembered something and sighed: "Little sir, I remembered correctly. I found you here. To be able to live today, we still need to
Thanks to Mr. Young for your good teaching.”
Zhu Chongba is not lying. Although he stumbles and walks on this road, there is no doubt that with someone to help him, the journey will be smoother. At least Zhu Chongba at this moment is much stronger than the original time and space.
"Little sir, can you tell us no, what should we do next? Show us and the big guys a clear path!"
While Zhu Chongba was speaking, he had already slowed down his horse. Everyone else also slowed down, and a few pairs of eyes fell on Zhang Ximeng.
Zhang Ximeng thought for a moment, then reined in the horse and jumped off. He went straight to an open space by the road and sat down.
Zhu Chongba, Tang He, Fei Ju, and Ma also followed. They didn't have much idea, they just sat around casually, waiting for Zhang Ximeng to talk.
"My benefactor, actually I can't show you a clear path. The road lies at your benefactor's feet. It depends on which direction your benefactor will go!" Zhang Ximeng kicked the ball back to Zhu Chongba's feet instead.
Lao Zhu looked solemn and thoughtful. He was hampered by Guo Zixing at every turn. He also angered Guo Zixing because he teamed up with Peng Da to force the palace. In addition, Guo Tianxu and Zhang Tianyou also wanted to arrest the Ma family. Lao Zhu had to seek help.
Develop alone.
But it's easy to say that. If these people get together, they will do something, right?
Robbery?
Or to dominate?
Zhu Chongba had a vague idea in his heart, but it was too far away from reality. Zhu Chongba was a little unable to express it, so he wanted to ask Zhang Ximeng.
When Zhang Ximeng kicked the ball back, Lao Zhu had no choice but to speak. Before he spoke, his face turned red, "We are not afraid of everyone's jokes. We, we hope for peace in the world and that everyone can live and work in peace and contentment."
After Lao Zhu finished speaking, he looked at a few people and said to himself, "You can laugh if you want to!"
Unexpectedly, not only did these people not laugh, but they nodded frequently, as if that was how it should be!
Zhang Ximeng said with a smile: "My benefactor has ambitions for the world, and his magnanimity is really impressive."
Zhu Chongba laughed at himself: "No need to praise us, who can make the world peaceful? It's not like we don't know... I... I'm afraid we don't deserve it!"
Zhang Ximeng shook his head, "My dear benefactor, the emperor of the Han Dynasty started his army at the age of forty-eight as the leader of a pavilion. He first destroyed Qin, and then fought between Chu and Han. Six years later, he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, creating the foundation of the Han Dynasty. Thousands of years later, the Central Plains is still
The Han people regard themselves as such. Nowadays, we are in troubled times, with heroes rising everywhere, and the fall of the Yuan Dynasty imminent. En Gong should have great ambitions!"
Zhu Chongba listened patiently and straightened his back involuntarily. He frowned slightly, "We have ambitions, but we still can't figure out how to do it!"
He looked at Zhang Ximeng.
"My benefactor, if you want to conquer the world, you must train and strengthen your troops! The soldiers come from the people, and you must be close to the people, love them, and gain the support of the people... I think that strengthening the army to save the people is what my benefactor wants to do!"
Zhu Chongba deeply believed it, nodded vigorously and said: "This statement makes sense! But how to strengthen the army and how to save the people?"
"If you want to strengthen your army, you must have strict military discipline, be well-trained, and have money, food, and weapons. You must cherish the people, do not burn or kill, do not loot, do not rape the women of the people, and do not harass the people."
Zhu Chongba immediately said: "Well said, these are our military orders. Anyone who dares to disobey will be killed without mercy!"
Zhang Ximeng added: "The people have suffered from the bad government of the Yuan Dynasty for a long time. It boils down to the annexation of land and the displacement of people everywhere. Officials exploited and big households oppressed, and the small people had no way to make a living. To save the people, the first step is to give them acres of land so that they can live.
Go on. Abolish exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, severely punish corrupt officials, and eradicate powerful families who oppress the people. If the people can live and work in peace and contentment, there will be a steady flow of money, food, and soldiers, then the benefactor's ambition will be achieved!"
When Zhang Ximeng said this, Zhu Chongba actually stood up excitedly... Although these words were not even a framework strategy, they clearly told him what to do next, which can be regarded as a decisive decision!
Zhu Chongba couldn't help but bow deeply to Zhang Ximeng.
"Mr. Zhang's teachings and virtues of guidance will be engraved in our hearts and we dare not forget them!" Zhu Chongba blushed and said excitedly: "If one day we really succeed, Mr. Zhang will be the number one contributor!"
Zhang Ximeng was also very excited when he was told that. He believed that Zhu Chongba must be telling the truth. Who wouldn't want everyone to work together and achieve great things?
It’s just that as the status gets higher and higher, the heart becomes more and more difficult to satisfy... The emperor who sits on the dragon throne is certainly not the same person as before, but how many of the founding heroes still remember their original aspirations?
You should be the number one hero, but if you really think that you are the number one hero and you can do whatever you want and you are superior, then you should die.
Zhang Ximeng was thinking deeply, but Zhu Chongba had already turned around and brought a horse to Zhang Ximeng.
"Sir, it's time to leave."
Zhang Ximeng was stunned for a moment, and the next second he suddenly lifted up his robe and knelt on his knees.
Zhu Chongba was shocked and hurriedly helped Zhang Ximeng up, but Zhang Ximeng knelt down firmly.
"Today is different from the past, and from now on it will be the same as before. It's better to change this title." After Zhang Ximeng finished speaking, he raised his head and said seriously: "Your Majesty, please accept my worship!"
Faced with Zhang Ximeng's grand homage, the person who was most caught off guard was Zhu Chongba... He regarded Zhang Ximeng as half a teacher!
"Get up, get up!"
Zhang Ximeng knelt still, but Tang He also knelt down at this time, followed by Fei Ju!
"Greetings, superior!"
The two continued the military method of calling their superiors and shouted together.
Facing the three people, Zhu Chongba felt a surge of heat all over his body. At this moment, it was indeed different from before. He stretched out his hand to help each of them up, and said with emotion: "If you don't let us down, we will not let you down!"
