No, isn't the point of these words implying that he will have the emperor's destiny?
Zhu Chongba was frightened. Who was he? A young monk who became a monk, a beggar... This status was so different from that of an emperor. It was like a toad eating swan meat.
After Zhu Chongba was shocked, he still had some thoughts. It was not until Ma came up with new food and wine and called twice that Zhu Chongba came to his senses. He nodded, looking a little unnatural.
"Little sir, I'm sorry that you can stay here. We have a famous teacher to guide us, so we must ask for more advice."
I finally stayed and hugged this big thick leg.
However, Zhang Ximeng was still not satisfied. He pressed forward and said, "My benefactor asked me to teach you, but I also need books. Are all the books and documents in this courtyard under my control?"
Zhu Chongba couldn't help but laugh. There were only a few confiscated books that no one read, so where were the official documents?
Maybe this kid doesn't know how big an official the ninth captain is?
Lao Zhu laughed loudly and said, "Sure, here, as long as it has a word, it's all under your control!"
Okay, this is what you said!
Never regret it.
Working for an ordinary landowner and businessman would be like a bookkeeper and steward at most, which is worthless.
If you can manage writing for a prince, you should be the Jiedu envoy and the secretary. Feng Dao and Zhao Pu have both done this.
At the level of the emperor, the person in charge is the prime minister of the country (not to mention the chief minister of rites). Zhang Ximeng has almost seen his own upgrade path. These days are becoming more and more promising.
Historically, Li Shanchang did this job for Lao Zhu. When it came to rewards for merit, he was ranked above Xu Da and ranked as the most meritorious official in the founding of the country!
Of course, Zhang Ximeng did not expect so much, and why did he need such a big contribution? If he could be like Mu Ying, he could guard one side and be a stable local emperor after the founding of the country, and he would be satisfied.
But if you think about it carefully, it seems that in the entire Ming Dynasty, there was only one Duke of Guizhou who ruled Yunnan for a long time!
It's not easy to get one more.
Zhang Ximeng cheered up and asked Ma for a pen, ink, paper and inkstone. After all, he came from a scholar's family, and his muscle memory made it easy for Zhang Ximeng to master writing.
Although the writing is not very good, it is still readable.
After several days of busy work without sleep or food, I finally took a thick stack of dozens of sheets and handed them to Zhu Chongba during dinner.
"It's not too much." Zhu Chongba happily took it.
Zhang Ximeng also smiled and said: "It's not much. After all, it's just a catalog. I also listed some books at the back. My benefactor had better buy them as soon as possible. It has been delayed for a long time. We must make up for the lost time!"
Zhang Ximeng smiled brightly, as if looking at the prey that had fallen into a trap.
Lao Zhu's face turned dark immediately. What are you chasing? Are you chasing your life?
Mr. Ma next to him couldn't help but laugh, but he still advised him seriously: "The young gentleman is right, Chongba, you have to study hard! Otherwise, I will stop trying to persuade my husband."
Lao Zhu was stunned again, what were you talking about?
"Look, you don't even know the virtue of stopping! Chongba, you really have to study hard!" Ma said with a smile.
Zhu Chongba's face was sullen, flushed from holding back, and speechless. He could only say with the intention of going to the grave: "Good girl, we understand!"
From this day on, teacher Zhang Ximeng was considered to be on duty. Since Zhu Chongba had to work as an errand in the commander's mansion, he could only read and write when he was free in the morning and evening.
Zhang Ximeng no longer cares about the step-by-step process. In the morning, he reads three hundred thousand Mongolian books and learns to write. In the evening, he comes back to read Confucian classics and explain history.
It is nonsense to put it in any school. It is equivalent to taking kindergarten and graduate courses at the same time. If it were an ordinary person, it would not be crazy!
But it was obvious that Lao Zhu was not an ordinary person, he held on.
Zhang Ximeng is not an ordinary person. He actually made several palm-sized manuscripts and asked Zhu Chongba to put them in his sleeves. He took time to read them during the day and tested them when he came back at night. He never let go of any time.
You can't live without going crazy. If you want to soar into the sky, how can you refuse to endure hardship?
Zhang Ximeng tried his best to teach, and Lao Zhu worked hard to learn. The two of them were still competing with each other.
Time keeps moving forward, and there are only a few days left before the New Year. Zhu Chongba, who has failed to gain anything, remembers respecting teachers and teaching, so he suggested: "Little sir, you haven't been out these days. It's the New Year. It's time to buy some food, clothing and chews."
, see something new, it’s just a little bit of our thoughts.”
Zhang Ximeng had never been out before. When Lao Zhu said this, he was still thinking about it and nodded. Zhu Chongba happily went to find Ma. No matter who he was, his wife would inevitably be in charge of money. When Zhu Chongba came back,
Zhang Ximeng found that he was holding a large amount of banknotes in his hand, and he casually put them into his arms, causing his chest to bulge.
How much is this? Why does it look so casual?
Zhang Ximeng rolled his eyes. He finally remembered that this was probably the Yuan Dynasty's treasure banknotes. Although the treasure banknotes were relatively stable for several decades after the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, after the financial collapse and the indiscriminate issuance of banknotes, the treasure banknotes became more and more expensive.
Not worth the money anymore.
The two main reasons for the Red Scarf Army's rebellion were to open rivers and to change banknotes, which shows the power of this thing.
The common people complained, but the Red Scarf Army had no time to introduce a new currency and could only reluctantly continue to use it.
Zhang Ximeng followed Zhu Chongba out. The market in Haozhou was not very lively and the goods were scarce. He simply bought a new set of clothes, some bacon and maltose.
Zhang Ximeng has no expectations for the Chinese New Year, but Zhu Chongba is different. He is still looking for it. After all, this is the first year after he and his wife got married, and it is also the first year that his life has improved...
But at this moment, a horse suddenly came and galloped forward, and a burly man jumped out from the top.
"Chongpachi!"
Zhang Ximeng turned around and looked. He didn't recognize this person. Zhu Chongba smiled and said: "He is our good brother, his name is Tang He. He is now a member of a thousand households in the city, and his official position is higher than ours."
Although Zhu Chongba said so, he didn't mean to see the commander at all. Tang He didn't have anything wrong at all. He believed that it wouldn't be long before Chongba climbed on top of him, which was a matter of course.
"somebody is coming."
"who?"
"It's Jia Lu's envoy. Our Jinshi who went out from Huaixi is called Lu Anmin."
"What is he here for?" Zhu Chongba asked with a frown.
"Of course it goes without saying that I'm trying to persuade you to surrender!"
The officers and soldiers are on the move!
Zhu Chongba frowned. When he was chatting with Zhang Ximeng a few days ago, he revealed his worries about his future. After talking with Zhang Ximeng, he felt confident, but other people in the city may not...
"Little sir, I'm afraid we have to go to the handsome man's house."
Zhang Ximeng nodded, of course it was business that mattered. He pondered for a moment and then reminded: "My benefactor, I guess the person who came here will definitely threaten me. When the time comes, my benefactor will just use his righteousness to accuse me. As a scholar, I am willing to act as a lackey of the Yuan Dynasty and harm my hometown."
Father, your sin is so serious that our ancestors will not tolerate it!"
Zhu Chongba thought for a moment and nodded vigorously, "We understand." He turned around and left with Tang He.
Zhang Ximeng also returned to the small courtyard. If he guessed correctly, the war is probably coming, and the leader of Yuanting is Jia Lu. This man is first-class in water control, but he doesn't know how to fight... Zhang Ximeng is very curious and really wants to go.
Let's take a look at the handsome hall and see how capable the heroes of Haozhou are.
It's a pity that he is not qualified yet, so he can only count on Lao Zhu. I hope he can use his ability to make Lu Anmin feel ashamed just like Zhuge Liang scolded Wang Lang to death!
Zhang Ximeng secretly expected that the handsome hall at this moment would be really solemn and solemn.
From Guo Zixing down, all the leaders of the Haozhou Red Turban are here.
Guo Zixing did not capture Haozhou alone. He was accompanied by Sun Deya and others, a total of five marshals.
Not long ago, Xuzhou was captured and the leader Zhima Li was killed in battle. Peng Da and Zhao Jun used two generals to take the remaining troops to Haozhou and attached themselves to Guo Zixing.
In other words, small Haozhou has seven marshals.
At this moment, they were facing Lu Anmin, the messenger sent by Jia Lu.
"Commander Guo, as well as other great commanders, I won't go into details about the war in Xuzhou. A hundred thousand troops were wiped out in a month, and there was no trace left. The imperial army was so powerful that no one could match it. Why would Marshal Guo use an egg to hit a stone? I want the commander to raise his troops.
, for glory and wealth. As long as the commander-in-chief returns to the court, not only will the commander-in-chief be rewarded, but even the commander-in-chief’s subordinates can be promoted and make a fortune, without the need for war to cause trouble. Isn’t this a good thing?”
Lu Anmin's smile was subtle and full of confidence.
It is true that the Red Scarf Army caught Yuan Ting off guard in the early stage, spread all over the country, and captured many cities. However, when Yuan Ting concentrated its forces and began to counterattack, the situation of the Red Scarf Army instantly became difficult.
This is not surprising. No matter how decadent the Yuan Dynasty was, it was still a well-organized court from top to bottom. On the contrary, the Red Scarf Army was divided into good and bad. Facing a counterattack, Xuzhou Sesame Li, who had 100,000 soldiers, was killed.
The powerful Nanyang Buwang San was defeated.
Even Liu Futong was under great pressure and had too much time to take care of himself.
At this time, Jia Lu sent people to persuade them to surrender, not only to hope that the Haozhou Red Scarf would surrender, but also to show their prestige and shake the morale of the army. After all, the Haozhou Red Scarf was not monolithic. As long as someone was tempted, Jia Lu would have won half the battle.
This move alone makes people wonder, Jia Lu's grasp of people's hearts is far better than that of Guo Zixing and other reckless people.
At this moment, Marshal Guo had a stern look on his face and sneered: "What you said is nice, but you didn't trick us. You want to kill us in one fell swoop. You can't deceive people with this method!"
Lu Anmin immediately said: "Commander Mingjian, I am from Anfeng and can be regarded as a fellow countryman of the commander, so how could he harm the commander? Xuzhou Zhima Li was defeated, Nanyang Buwang San was also defeated, and Fang Guozhen from eastern Zhejiang was defeated.
, was driven into the sea again, and Peng Yingyu also fought and left, like a bereaved dog. Now the imperial court is deploying troops and generals to annihilate Liu Futong. It is easy to think about it. Now that things have happened, life and death are going smoothly, doesn't the commander still wake up? "
"Hmph, is it possible that this commander is greedy for life and afraid of death?" Guo Zixing was furious.
Lu Anmin said with a smile: "The commander-in-chief is naturally a hero, but I feel sorry for the elders in my hometown. Over the years, floods, droughts and famines have continued, and the people have been in dire straits. Ten houses have nine empty houses. Coupled with the war and the soldiers, I don't know how many people will die.
I really feel sorry for the elders in my hometown. With just one thought, the commander-in-chief can save countless people. When the time comes, the commander-in-chief will become a court official, honor his ancestors, and protect the people with merit. He will be the best choice for the country and the family. "
Guo Zixing frowned even more. Is this Lu Anmin really capable of saying that there is no one above him who is his opponent? He looked to the left and right, and happened to see his son-in-law Zhu Chongba.
"Chongba, what do you think of this?"
Zhu Chongba had a cold face and said disdainfully: "Replying to the commander-in-chief, this person keeps saying that he feels sorry for the elders in his hometown, but he is the shame of his hometown while he is alive. How unfortunate that he gave birth to such a thing!"
Lu Anmin raised his brows, then smiled again, "Sure enough, this is a reckless argument. I don't have the same knowledge as the people in the mountains."
You are uneducated and I am too lazy to pay attention to you.
Zhu Chongba said with his heart that we really couldn't do it at first, but it's different now. How can the little teacher's lessons be in vain?
"We are savages, but we also know what a true scholar is?" Zhu Chongba looked at Lu Anmin sideways and sneered: "You must know Zheng Sixiao, right?"
Sure enough, when Lu Anmin heard the name, his expression changed slightly, but Zhu Chongba caught it.
"Zheng Sixiao refused to be an official in the Yuan Dynasty all his life. He painted orchids instead of soil. When others asked him, he said that all the land had been taken away. Don't you know? Only such loyal and lofty ideals can be regarded as scholars. You, and Jia Lu,
You are willing to be Yuan Ting's lackey, but you still dare to come to the rebels, show off your power, show off your teeth and claws, you have brought shame on all the elders in your hometown!"
These few words were scolded so loudly that all the commanders present couldn't help but burst into laughter and finally let out a sigh of relief.
Lu Anmin never expected that these thieves could actually tell the truth, and he clearly broke his guard.
"Eating the emperor's salary is a matter of loyalty to the emperor. Zheng Sixiao is ignorant of current affairs. The Yuan Dynasty has been established for decades, and its power is great. The whole world has returned to its heart... The Song Dynasty has long been dead. You rebelled against the imperial court and brought your own destruction!"
"Really? The Yuan Dynasty opened a river to change money, and there were more than a million red scarf rebels in the world. They were all rebels on both sides of the Yellow River, north and south of the Yangtze River. In just over a year, the Yuan Dynasty lost half of its country, and it still dares to talk so brazenly? You must know that the Hulu have not lived for a hundred years.
Due to the fate of the country, it’s time for the Yuan Dynasty to come to an end!”
Zhu Chongba's lessons with Zhang Ximeng were not in vain. He talked in the same way, clearly and logically, and his momentum even suppressed Lu Anmin.
He pressed the handle of the knife and forced it forward step by step.
"A running dog like you is not a human being in life, and will not be able to enter the ancestral graves after death. From generation to generation, he will only be despised and reviled by the elders in his hometown."
Zhu Chongba approached Lu Anmin. The two were only one foot apart and their eyes met. Lu Anmin's heart panicked for no reason.
He was so angry that he gnashed his teeth and cursed: "You are the thieves, you are just waiting for the heavenly soldiers to arrive, and you will be destroyed together!"
"In order to regain the land of the Han family and regain our homeland, I deserve to die!" Zhu Chongba said calmly: "On the other hand, although you are alive, you are no different from a pig or a dog. When you die, you will be the butt of Liu Mengyan and Fan Wenhu.
You kid at the back. Let’s engrave your words and deeds on a stone tablet right now, send it to your hometown, and stand it next to your ancestors’ graves, so that your ancestors will be ashamed for you! Even thousands of years later, your descendants will never be able to hold their heads up.
I can’t be a human being!”
Zhu Chongba said, winking to both sides, and someone immediately agreed to do it.
"you!"
Lu Anmin's old face flushed red, and he was so angry that it would bring harm to his descendants. You are too vicious! Today's scholars have not cultivated the shamelessness to ignore everything. If this is the case, he might as well die!
"You are so vicious!"
In a hurry, Lu Anmin took two steps back and sat down on the ground, his forehead covered with cold sweat...
