After taking in the Feng brothers, Zhu Yuanzhang did not appoint official positions immediately, but asked them to observe with the army... that is, let them watch as they like. If they agree with Zhu Yuanzhang, then follow me. If they don't agree, then go back to your Miaoshan.
You took the initiative to seek refuge, we can't detain you, or anything like that, that would be too unloyal.
As for what will happen in the future, we cannot guarantee it.
Lao Zhu's attitude could be described as upright, which made Er Feng feel a little more in awe.
All in all, they were also the leaders of a party. When they had the largest number of subordinates, they had a thousand people.
But they are the same people, but the gap is so huge that it is impossible to tell the difference.
The biggest characteristic of Lao Zhu's subordinates is that they have strict rules and rigorous military training. Basically, they train for five days in a row and only get one day off. And during the rest, they are not allowed to run around. If you want to leave the military camp, you must ask Qianhu
When asking for leave, you must explain the reason and agree on a return time. If you fail to return after the deadline, you will be punished.
Depending on the severity of the circumstances, including criticism, forced labor, slap on the wrist, etc...
Logically speaking, if you are trained hard and controlled strictly, you should have a lot of resentment.
However, after walking around the military camp, Feng Guoyong was surprised to find that almost all the soldiers not only had no complaints, but also found it fulfilling and interesting, and worked very hard during training.
After observing for a while, the Feng brothers gathered together, and Feng Guosheng said: "Brother, I watched a play with the big guys last night."
"Play? What play? "The Injustice of Dou E" or "Single Sword Club"?" Feng Guoyong asked casually.
Yes, the play "Single Sword Meeting" existed as early as the Yuan Dynasty, and it was also the work of the great dramatist Guan Hanqing. The content is similar to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. It tells the story of Soochow Wu's plot to Jingzhou, and Guan Yu's ballistic approach to the meeting and his successful return.
There is no doubt that Guan Hanqing highly praised Guan Yu's wisdom and courage.
Moreover, respecting Liu and demoting Cao is not an original plot of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". In fact, in the early Three Kingdoms plays, as long as the Shu Han wins, the people in the audience cheer in unison, but when it comes to Cao Cao, they frown.
Worshiping Guan Yu and admiring Prime Minister Zhuge have existed since ancient times.
Love and hate among the people are so clear.
Therefore, some people regard the outrageous logic of bringing people across the river as hypocrisy and massacres of cities and killing people as their true nature. In ancient times, they would have been drowned in saliva.
After all, most people still know that they are the ordinary people who are being stabbed, and they still have an idea of what to choose.
By the way, three of the four major classics are comprehensively integrated based on the creations of predecessors.
Many classic plots have appeared a long time ago. The author just acted as a tailor, connecting various plots together, eliminating the unreasonable parts, and presenting them completely in his own way.
So if anyone wants to monopolize the right to interpret classics and say that I am the authentic author, I am the only one, and no one can perform it better than me... then that would be ridiculous.
It's just that... these are not the point. The point is that Zhu Yuanzhang's military performance is not like this.
"It's called "Capture a Thief by Riding Alone". It's a story in the army." Feng Guosheng introduced the plot to his elder brother: roughly it is a soldier, disguised as an imperial envoy of the Yuan Dynasty, riding alone, arriving
Huaiyuan City. The guards gathered at the gate of the city, entered the commander's house together, and captured Yuanting General Cheribuhua alive.
Feng Guoyong was stunned when he heard this. Is it true?
They gathered many villages, more than 10,000 people, and tried to attack Chuzhou but failed. Why did one person here capture General Yuanting?
Is Yuan Jun really such a waste?
"Is this made up? Or?"
"It's true." Feng Guosheng said immediately: "It was the soldier who captured General Yuan Ting who acted it out himself."
"Ah! He acted it himself?"
"That's right, those few Huaiyuan defenders came over and started acting together. It was really interesting!" Feng Guosheng was not very good at telling stories, and his words were not rich enough.
But obviously, this was a story that shocked him greatly.
It was so much fun, I was playing myself!
There were also a few soldiers who were guarding the city, accompanying them in the performance. Just hearing about it was incredible enough.
"Is there anything else? I want to see it too." Feng Guoliang was interested and asked about it. It turned out that yesterday it was performed at Fei Ju's Qianhu, and today it was performed at Huayun Qianhu.
It turns out that this play is so popular that due to venue restrictions, it can only be performed in one thousand households at a time. A group of future famous generals in Huaixi and Dukes of the Ming Dynasty quarreled over the order.
Tang He insisted on following the order, and the other thousands of households stopped doing it.
Go ahead and dream!
Regardless of whether you are the 1,000th household, things in the military are all about fairness. Everyone draws lots, and whoever is more lucky will play first.
Is it possible that the Lord can still be partial in this kind of matter?
Moreover, it is not the Lord who has the final say on this matter. He has to listen to Mr. Zhang.
Tang He was helpless. Fei Ju was very lucky and drew the first number, but Hua Yun drew the second number. As for Tang He, just wait and see!
"Brother, I've asked before. We are observers and can go there, but there is a limit on the number of people. You can bring up to five people."
Feng Guoyong nodded in agreement. In the evening, after eating the military meals, the two brothers and several young men from the clan rushed to the place where the performance was performed.
They were frightened when they arrived.
Why are there so many people? How can this be a thousand households?
There are literally thousands of households!
They guessed it right. Because the play was so popular, people from thousands of households came over early to occupy seats, vying for seats and wanting to come and have a look.
As a result, they could only stand on the outside and crane their necks to watch.
Only Hua Yun’s subordinates, who hosted it, could enjoy it in the audience.
Feng Guoyong also understood. No wonder they were only allowed to bring five people. If they brought more people, they would not be scolded to death!
They came in a hurry, Hua Yun's face was full of joy, as happy as if he had married a daughter-in-law.
He took the initiative to say hello and grabbed two handfuls of jujubes for them to eat while watching them.
Just before the big play started, a few more people came, headed by Zhu Yuanzhang, followed by his wife Ma, and next to Ma was the little guy Mu Ying.
Behind them, there was Zhang Ximeng, and an old man... Li Shanchang did not come because he was busy with official duties.
When these people sat down, Zhu Yuanzhang saw the Feng brothers and gave them guidance. Others didn't care. It was the old man who confused Feng Guoyong.
Jarru!
It was Jia Lu who was in charge of repairing the river and was hated by countless people. Why was he in Zhu Yuanzhang's army?
How virtuous and capable was Zhu Yuanzhang to have this important minister of the Yuan Dynasty serve him?
A descendant of Mr. Yunzhuang surprised him, plus a minister of the Ministry of Industry and Zhongshu Zuo Cheng of the Great Yuan Dynasty. How could Zhu Yuanzhang's army be filled with such powerful figures!
Feng Guoyong was full of words, but the show had already begun. He couldn't ask any more questions and could only watch carefully.
Soon, to the beat of drums, an actor with a big head came up.
He first jogged a circle, then stood on the stage with a T-step, coughed, and began to describe his experience... "I once wandered around the flower streets and willow lanes all day long, and saw countless red makeup; I once braved the wind in Youyan, Saibei
Xue, I have also seen the treacherous and sycophantic dictatorship in the Yuan Dynasty, who only wanted to cause chaos for the king and the people, so he had no choice but to wear a strong sword - a dog and wolf that harmed people for the foolish king!!!"
Wu Datou had a big head and was very energetic. In addition, he had listened to a lot of operas in his early years. His last voice was so high-pitched and powerful that it shook the whole audience. Even those who stretched their necks outside to watch could hear clearly.
Then there was warm applause and cheers.
Wu Datou became more energetic and continued to read: "Being a foolish king and traveling thousands of miles with eagles and dogs, weeping ghosts and gods at the killings that he saw. He looked at his own heart and realized that his sins were heavy. God is pitiful - meet a wise king!"
There was another burst of cheers from below.
After talking about this, that is, after surrendering to Lao Zhu, how to treat him with special treatment, be grateful, and be ordered to catch Cheribuhua who has committed a heinous crime.
In order to catch him by surprise, he rode there alone.
When he arrived at the gate of Huaiyuan City, he remembered the appearance of the dog officer of the Yuan Dynasty in the past, who behaved evil and scolded the soldiers guarding the city.
At this time the soldiers came up.
Really those few people, one of them, a veteran, spoke with a drake voice, blaming the innocent crimes, and called Yuan Ting bastards, harming the people, they were just dogs biting dogs, and following the new dog to kill the old wolf!
The sentence "a new dog kills an old wolf" once again aroused laughter in the audience.
But if you think about it, it's true. If Cheri didn't do some personnel work, he wouldn't have been arrested!
Then Wu Datou led the people over, successfully captured the clueless Cheribuhua alive, and returned victorious... The scene lasted for almost an hour, and everyone was still unfinished, as if it had passed in the blink of an eye.
Some people even shouted, "Do it again!"
Everyone was so mesmerized that they laughed wildly.
Only then did Feng Guoyong notice that many of the soldiers watching the theater were Mongolians.
Didn’t the Yuan Dynasty belong to the Mongols?
At this time, a small flag official behind him couldn't help but said: "Mongolians also have high and low status! The Yuan Dynasty belongs to the nobles, not us! It's the superiors who treat us as individuals! This is a good show, scolding
Have fun!"
At this time, Wu Datou actually came out again. He was so warm and welcoming that he couldn't do the whole set, so let's just do the most exciting part of catching people!
The soldiers on the stage immediately applauded like a tide... Feng Guoyong looked at the stage and under the stage. He seemed to have some understanding in his eyes and couldn't help but nod vigorously.
