Chapter 24: Longxing Temple upholds justice and kills Hulu!
"Master, didn't you just say that you wanted to take us on a big deal?" Hu Yiba asked carefully.
He wondered if the tomb being prepared for inversion needed to be kept secret?
Zhu Qiwu shook his head, and then continued: "The big business I want to do is not some tomb robbery."
"Master, what are you doing?" Hu Yiba asked curiously.
"Hey, let me tell you the truth! We are actually the East Route Army of the Red Turban Army. On the auspicious day of the zodiac in a few days, we will raise the flag and raise our troops to kill all the Mongolian and Yuan Tartars in Haozhou. The big deal I am talking about is to attack Haozhou.
Zhoucheng!”
Since Zhu Qiwu wanted to use them to attack the city, he naturally stopped hiding it from them.
"What? Attack Haozhou City?"
"Red Turban Army?"
"Dear mother!"
When Hu Yiba and others heard this, their legs were spinning in fear, and they all collapsed to the ground.
After all, their structure is still small.
The big deals you encounter in this life are, at most, like a huge tomb.
I never thought... that I would be able to participate in the rebellion and attack such a big deal as Haozhou City.
"Master, we are all honest people. This, this, this rebellion is going to cost us our heads!" Hu Yiba begged.
A fat man next to him also lay on the ground and begged: "Master, we should continue to dig holes for fertilization. We don't dare to rebel!"
Zhu Qiwu knew that these tomb robbers were well-informed and had a clear prediction of the serious consequences of rebellion. They were not ordinary refugees who were driven to a dead end.
"Oh, well, since you don't want to, I won't force you." Zhu Qiwu sighed deliberately.
Hu Yiba and others breathed a sigh of relief, thinking they had been let go.
But they never thought that Zhu Qiwu's next words almost made them wet their pants.
"Brother Zhou, since they refuse to join the gang, let's send them on their way." Zhu Qiwu winked.
Zhou Dexing understood immediately, pulled out the steel knife with a clang, and said viciously: "Okay, let's kill them now!"
Hu Yiba reacted immediately!
If you knew about the beheading business in rebellion and still refused to join the gang, then you were not seeking death!
"Wait a minute! Master, we have figured it out and are willing to join the gang!"
"Yes! I'm willing to join!"
Several people hurriedly kowtowed and swore for mercy, expressing their determination to follow the heroes of Longxing Temple to "do justice for heaven."
"Haha, you know what you are doing! Bring your tunnel diggers and follow me!" Zhu Qiwu ordered again.
Hu Yiba and others didn't dare to neglect, so they all brought their tools and followed them.
Three days later.
Outside Longxing Temple, flags are fluttering and flying in the wind!
Three thousand Longxing Temple guarding militiamen, all wrapped in red scarves, lined up outside Longxing Temple to wait.
Zhu Chongba took off the cassock that he usually wears to scare people.
He put on the armor of a beast swallowing fire clouds, wrapped his head in a red scarf, and held a three-foot green sword!
The oath of righteousness was announced on the high platform at the entrance of Longxing Temple.
"The wind follows the dragon, the clouds follow the tiger, fame and fortune follow the dust and earth.
Why am I, a man of honor, acting like a horse or an ox to the Tartars?
The golden drums are beating together and the crowd is roaring, and the yellow dragon will not stop until it is broken."
Zhu Yuanzhang read out the battle song of the Red Scarf Army, and continued to shout loudly to the three thousand soldiers and horses below.
"The red scarf has raised millions of soldiers to destroy the Hulu and the great Han Dynasty!"
"My sons, follow me into Haozhou and kill the Hulu!"
These soldiers below, after several months of training and baptism, have long been loyal to Zhu Chongba, the "big cabinet".
The reason why they became refugees was all because of the brutal oppression by the Mongolian and Yuan Tartars.
Now that the Red Scarf Army has set off a huge wave, of course they will follow Zhu Chongba and raise their troops to kill the Tartars!
"Enter Haozhou and kill the Hulu!"
"Enter Haozhou and kill the Hulu!"
Led by Xu Da, Tang He and others, thousands of people roared loudly.
The so-called military morale is available, which is exactly what is happening now.
Zhu Chongba looked at everything in front of him and suddenly felt so proud.
"Enter Haozhou and kill the Hulu!"
"Brothers, follow me!"
Three thousand soldiers descended from the mountain like tigers, starting from Longxing Temple and rushing toward Haozhou City.
After dozens of miles of road, the forward cavalry led by Xu Da soon encountered the patrolmen of Haozhou Prefecture.
These patrolmen could usually scare thieves, but they were no match for the cavalry that Xu Da had practiced for several months.
It was just a charge, and dozens of patrol soldiers were all chopped to the ground.
Zhu Chongba and the others were so powerful that although they destroyed the patrols they encountered, the Meng Yuan cavalry outside Haozhou City still discovered the enemy's situation.
"The red scarf thief is here!"
"The red scarf thief is here!"
The turbans of Zhu Chongba and others were too conspicuous, and these Mongolian and Yuan knights were so frightened that they ran into the city.
"Should we hide our whereabouts and launch a surprise attack on Haozhou?" Zhu Chongba suddenly regretted.
When Zhu Qiwu heard this, he smiled and said: "Brother, how is that possible? There are more than 3,000 of us, and the team is almost two miles long. How can we hide our whereabouts?"
"Haha, you are right." Zhu Chongba said with relief.
At this time...the Meng Yuan cavalry who discovered the enemy's situation had already ran back to Haozhou City.
As the gates of Haozhou City were tightly closed, a large number of troops from the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasty appeared on the city walls.
When Zhu Chongba and others approached with their troops, they immediately sent people to shoot letters of surrender into the city.
In the letter of persuasion to surrender, Zhu Chongba personally signed it as "Red Turban Army East Route Army forward officer Zhu Chongba".
Bang! There was a muffled sound, and the feather arrow that helped persuade the surrender was shot at the gate tower.
A Haozhou soldier on the gatehouse quickly took it off and handed it to Luo Wenqing, the magistrate of Haozhou who had just climbed up the city wall.
"The thief bald turns out to be a rebel!"
After Luo Wenqing read the surrender letter, he immediately cursed.
In the past six months, he has feasted on Longxing Temple's filial bribes, and it is unknown how much convenience it has provided.
Now it turned out to be a group of red scarf rebels, which he really couldn't accept.
"Master, look!"
A general next to him pointed to the outside of the city.
Luo Wenqing looked around and saw several large flags fluttering in the wind among the array of red scarf thief Zhu Chongba.
There are several Chinese characters written on the big flag.
"Do justice for heaven!"
"Walking for justice? You Zhu Chongba, it turns out you are the Forty Thieves!"
Luo Wenqing immediately gritted his teeth with hatred.
In the past six months, these forty thieves have been killing people and exterminating families in Haozhou, specializing in major crimes.
However, because those who died were all Han bullies and powerful men, the Mongols did not care much and allowed them to escape under their noses.
Now he actually jumped out, it was like a slap in the face in public.
"Sir, there are only more than three thousand red scarf thieves, and we also have more than three thousand soldiers and horses in the city. Why not go out of the city and fight against them, catch them off guard, and fulfill your credit for suppressing the thieves." The assistant general asked for a fight.
Although Luo Wenqing was very angry, he had not lost his mind yet.
