A group of fierce men who fought against the Ming Dynasty can definitely be compared with the Nanyang Twenty-eight-Seventh Group and the Guanlong Group of the Great Mage Liu Xiu. They are among the top martial arts groups in the past few thousand years.
How elegant should they be at this moment?
Zhang Ximeng rushed out excitedly. When he saw it, he was immediately disappointed... What is this? He was wearing a hat crookedly, and his clothes were ragged and tattered. There was an old man with a snotty nose who kept sniffing. He was very serious and rhythmic.
.
With this kind of virtue, it is difficult to be a good soldier, and it is a joke to want to conquer the colorful world!
However, Zhang Ximeng knew that these people were indeed the future nobles of Huaixi.
It can only be said that they have met the right person. Along the way, as long as they are lucky enough to survive, even a piece of scrap metal can be turned into steel.
So things are the result of everyone's hard work, but the leader is really too important. It was not Huaixi Xungui who made Lao Zhu, but Zhu Chongba brought out Huaixi Xungui.
Zhang Ximeng sighed slightly. At present, this group of people cannot immediately take charge of their own business. They must work hard and gain experience. But no matter what, they can be regarded as a group of potential stocks.
Zhang Ximeng took the initiative to say hello and salute everyone.
But compared to Zhang Ximeng's thoughtful etiquette, this group of people was a bit superior. The guy who sniffed his nose forcefully pulled the snot back, and even curled his lips and said to Lao Zhu: "Chongba, who is this? Your godson
?”
Zhu Chongba's face suddenly darkened, and he glared at the ignorant guy fiercely.
"Hua Sanqi, please be honest with us! This is Mr. Yunzhuang's grandnephew. He is resourceful and talented, but he is our right-hand man and most confidant."
The man surnamed Hua scratched his cheek, tilted his head, looked at Zhang Ximeng, and said for a long time, "You are so awesome? Why are you following Chongba? Why don't you find a better place to go?"
He is really good at chatting, and Zhu Chongba is even more embarrassed... What kind of weird people has he found?
Zhang Ximeng said calmly: "I was saved by my lord, so naturally I have to work for my lord. I think you are new here and don't know what we do. Why don't you invite everyone to watch a trial? What do you think?"
These people, you look at me, I look at you, okay, just look at it!
The man surnamed Hua said to Zhu Chongba again: "That Chongba, everyone is hungry, please give me some food first."
What else could Zhu Chongba do besides agree... They were all fellow villagers, so naturally they had to prepare delicious food, such as flatbreads and stewed meat.
While the wine and dinner were being prepared, Zhu Chongba pulled Zhang Ximeng aside, his face full of shame.
"Sir, these guys are all mixed-up people who don't know what's going on in the military, and they're just from the same hometown as us. If you offend me, sir, please look at our face and don't take offense."
Zhang Ximeng said with a smile: "My lord, you are too polite. In fact, this is how they should be."
Zhu Chongba was stunned.
Zhang Ximeng said with a smile: "They used to be farmers. Is it possible for them to immediately lead troops to fight, abide by military disciplines, and understand the rules? Furthermore, they were used to playing around with their lord, so how could they immediately develop a sense of awe?"
?”
Zhu Chongba nodded vigorously. The truth is correct, but this won't work!
There cannot be no rules in the military.
"Master, don't worry. Let's tell everyone first what we are going to do... Speak clearly and let them understand the rules of the army. It won't be long before these people will become the lord's confidants. I estimate that there will be a few more
By the way, my lord will have a strong army that cannot be defeated."
Zhu Chongba used to be very high-spirited, but now he is doubtful.
Zhang Ximeng was full of confidence and took Zhu Chongba to the center of Linhuai Town. At this moment, Lao Zhu's fellow villagers were arranged under the earth platform. Each of them was given a bowl of meat and two cakes, and they were eating deliciously.
People gathered in batches from all directions.
There were more and more people, almost two thousand people, half of whom were soldiers and the other half were the surrounding people. The big guys looked solemn, as if they were participating in some great event.
As for Lao Zhu's fellow villagers, they were just watching the fun.
It’s not the right time, is this going to be an opera?
Soon, someone escorted a guy with gray hair and a stooped back. This guy was very thin, weighing only a few dozen pounds.
Her legs were weak and she seemed to be slender, so she was lifted onto the earth platform and placed in the middle of the platform, like a puddle of tofu.
"Lu Anmin, I will explain your matter clearly in front of everyone today."
Lu Anmin!
That Jinshi who went out on Anfeng Road?
The soldiers and civilians looked at him angrily.
Among Lao Zhu's fellow villagers, most people didn't know who Lu Anmin was, but a few people knew it. One of them, a young man with prominent cheekbones, couldn't help but widen his eyes!
Isn't this the famous Lu Jinshi and Wen Quxing?
How did he become like this?
Is it the same name or something?
This young man's surname was Xu. He secretly glanced at Zhu Chongba and found that Zhu Chongba was staring at the top with gritted teeth. He did not dare to say anything, but just stared at it anxiously.
"I, I have nothing to say... We are each our own masters. If we fall into your hands, we will die."
Zhang Ximeng chuckled, "It's rare that the Yuan Dynasty still has a loyal minister like you!"
Lu Anmin swayed. He didn't want to be a loyal minister of the Yuan Dynasty, but Zhang Ximeng didn't give him a chance to surrender.
"I, I am willing to work for the red scarf. I want to correct my evil ways..."
"It's too late!" Zhang Ximeng interrupted unceremoniously, "Lu Anmin, not long ago, you ran to Haozhou to show off your power and persuade the Red Scarf Army to surrender to the Yuan Dynasty on behalf of the Yuan Tatars. Now the Yuan Dynasty has been defeated, hundreds of thousands of people
People are reduced to ashes, and you have become a prisoner. This is something you didn’t expect, right?"
Lu Anmin was so bitter that he wanted to cry. He still can't figure out why he lost?
Maybe this is God's will?
"Lu Anmin, why did the Yuan Dynasty lose? I think you should know... Since you passed the Jinshi examination and became an official in the court, your family's farmland has increased from 300 acres to 13,000 acres. One of them
Ten thousand acres, when the Yellow River flooded, you forced the villagers to sell it to your family. When some people refused to sell, you hired bandits to break into the homes of three families with more than ten people. After the people died, they were thrown into the river.
,Isn’t this a lie?”
"Yes! That's right!" Lu Anmin was shocked and suddenly roared: "You want to accuse me, you want to frame me!"
Zhang Ximeng sneered. He was too lazy to talk nonsense. He turned around and walked out of the crowd, thirty or thirty people.
There were people, old and young, gnashing their teeth when they saw Lu Anmin. Some people rushed towards him and tried to strangle him to death. Fortunately, soldiers stopped him and only spat twice.
Some people were wailing and crying in sorrow.
In front of everyone, tell all the bad things the Lu family did.
One of the blind old women said that the Lu family had taken a fancy to her daughter and wanted to attack her when her daughter went to the Lu family to do needlework. The daughter refused to obey and was beaten to death by the Lu family.
.
They went to ask for an explanation, but the Lu family just brought out a donkey.
"My beautiful girl, who is as beautiful as a flower! Why did she become a donkey when she was so full of life? God, who will provide us with justice?"
Lu Anmin's face was pale and his lips were trembling. Of course he knew about this, but he didn't think there was anything wrong.
"This is a court rule. Your daughter is worth a donkey because of her low life. You, you can't blame me!" Lu Anmin argued guiltily.
The old woman suddenly stood up and followed the sound and rushed towards Lu Anmin. The old woman gritted her teeth and cried bitterly, "Let me kill him and I will pay for him with my life!"
Zhang Ximeng quickly reached out and stopped the old woman.
"Don't be busy, this is not the Yuan Dynasty, and those bullshit laws that bully people don't work. Let's just follow one principle, one natural principle! Kill people to pay for their lives, and debts to pay for their money. Are you right?"
"Yes! Well said!"
Thunderous cheers erupted from the crowd, all supporting it.
Zhang Ximeng asked the old woman to sit down first, and then several people stood up one after another and identified Lu Anmin... Some said that the Lu family engaged in loan sharking and forced people to death. Some said that they forced others to be slaves and had to kneel on the ground and pay
They were fooled by horses.
Everyone was told about the crimes one by one.
It is simply an accusation of blood and tears, too numerous to write down.
There was a man who suffered a disaster and owed rent. He was arrested and hung on a beam for three days without food. He begged for some water, but was fed a jar of horse urine... for three days.
Afterwards, they forced him to give his daughter to the Lu family, otherwise they would beat him to death.
The man couldn't hold it any longer and agreed.
Now he was kneeling on the stage, slapping himself hard in the mouth.
"I'm useless, I can't protect my daughter! I deserve to be struck by lightning!" He cried until he fainted, but when he was saved again, blood flowed from his eyes. He didn't care about his life, he still had two children to take care of.
I don’t even dare to die!
The common people are so miserable. Once they open their hearts, the bitter waters will flow endlessly like the water of the Yellow River...
At this moment, more than half of Lao Zhu's fellow villagers have their eyes widened. They feel the same way. Even if they have never encountered it, it has definitely happened to their neighbors in the same village, and it may even be a hundred times worse than this.
"Deserves to be killed!" The young man named Xu gritted his back molars and spit out two words.
The man named Hua clenched his fists and wanted to take action.
At this time, Zhang Ximeng said: "Lu Anmin, you understand... your crimes are too numerous to describe. To sum up, you worked as a lackey for the Yuan Dynasty and fought against the rebels. Secondly, you killed the people in the fish and meat village. You, the Lu family,
There are no less than dozens of lives lost, all of which are irrefutable!"
Zhang Ximeng turned his head and looked at Zhu Chongba.
"Lord, please tell me how to punish me!"
Zhu Chongba strode up, walked up to Lu Anmin, stretched out his hands to grab his neck, and lifted the man up. Suddenly, Zhu Chongba lifted Lu Anmin up, and then threw him down to the stage.
!
With a scream, Lu Anmin fell like a pile of rotten meat in front of everyone.
"Chop him into random pieces to make the villagers angry!"
In an instant, thunderous cheers erupted from the crowd, and some even knelt down, thanked Zhu Chongba, and shed tears of excitement.
Looking at those fellow villagers, the way they looked at Zhu Chongba also changed. He was no longer their childhood playmate, but a high-ranking person who could fight for life and death.
