Emperor Ming Dynasty

Chapter 39
As the saying goes, to rule the army, first rule the heart.

In this era, including Guan Ning's cavalry, Qin Jun, and Chuang Bing, they are basically based on the trend of interests, so that they can be invincible.

However, Zhu Yixi felt that adding a layer of hatred on top of interests would be enough to make the army more stable.

As the saying goes, money is not enough to make up for it.

After all, if someone lends you [-], you can easily forget it, but if you are borrowed [-], you will always remember it.

"The military spirit is available!" Zhu Yixi nodded, and it was the best sharp edge to provoke the inexplicable soldiers.

"But it's not enough!"

Thinking in his heart, Zhu Yixi turned his head and said to Zhu Meng: "In troubled times, business is not easy to do. Go and invite some storytellers to tell stories about Guan Yu, Yue Fei, Wen Tianxiang, etc. who are loyal to the emperor and patriotic. Don't be stingy with money and food."

"Obey!" Zhu Meng couldn't help but feel his heart tense when he saw the majestic and majestic suzerain.

Immediately, Zhu Yixi selected a dozen or so of the 2000 people who were proficient in writing, first taught them to write, and then let them teach others.

In this way, it only took him an hour.

At this time, the sun was setting, leaving only the afterglow.

"Sect Master, the city gate is about to close." Zhu Yi said anxiously.

"En!" After putting away the pen, Zhu Yixi got into the carriage and headed for Xi'an City.

Only a hair away, Yongning Gate was closed.

In fact, the Heyang Prince's Mansion is in Xianning County, but there is no one to inherit the title, so it can only be empty.

After being reduced to the lowest level of Fengguo generals for several generations, Zhu Yixi was forced to choose the Jinyiwei Qianhu House after being relocated again and again.

The city of Xi'an at night is particularly empty, with sparse lights, and there is no one on the wide street, only the sound of wheels touching the ground.

"In such a situation, no wonder there are bandits!"

Zhu Yixi lifted the car window and couldn't help laughing.

The rest of the people also laughed.

There was joyful laughter all over the street.

From Zhu Yi to Zhu Shi, these ten people are all fourteen or fifteen-year-old boys, and they have been getting stronger day by day after eating, drinking and training for many days.

Except for the two guards left behind, the other eight people are always by their side, serving as messengers and personal guards.

"Dragon Boat Festival is coming—"

Sniffing through the nasal cavity, the smell of sulfur was very strong, and Zhu Yixi couldn't help but sighed.

Traveling through time for three months, the time is too much.

Back home, across the yard, Wang Yu's study was brightly lit.

Zhu Yixi smiled slightly, he was indeed a responsible person.

Then he knocked on the door: "Prince?"

"Come in!" Wang Yan said casually.

Zhu Yixi opened the door, only to see pictures of self-generating muskets on his desk.

"The flintlock you speak of is the flint that has always been hard to find."

Wang Yan frowned and said, "I'm afraid there aren't many good flints near Xi'an."

"No hurry, take your time!"

Zhu Yixi rubbed his head and said, "Flint is usually produced by the riverbed or in the mountains. If there is no good flint, you can only use medium flint."

Flint, also known as flint, is the folk fire sickle, which can be seen everywhere in nature.

However, if ordinary flint is used with a flint gun, the fire rate will be very impressive.

Therefore, it is better to use good flint as much as possible.

Wang Yan could only nod his head and let it go.

Zhu Yixi left his courtyard and returned to where he lived.

"Squeak-"

After opening the door, Zhu Yixi glanced at the room, frowning.

I saw that the window was closed tightly.

You know, ventilation is good for air circulation, and he is also afraid of the plague.

Could it be that there are thieves in the room?
"Zhu Wu, Zhu Liu—"

He closed the door in time, exited the room, and asked, "Did you close the window?"

"No, suzerain!" Zhu Wu said aggrievedly, "How could we go in without your permission?"

"That would be fun!"

Zhu Yixi laughed: "It's really tiresome for the thieves to hit the Ma bandits."

"Go, bring Xiao Huang over here, and call everyone over here, today we are going to catch a thief."

"Wow, woof, woof—" Xiao Huang yelled as soon as he smelled the stranger's breath.

All of a sudden, the whole courtyard became lively.

After a while, the two bandits hiding on the beams of the house were discovered.

Seven or eight people went up together, and after a lot of tossing, they won it.

The skill is really good.

"Forgive me, we are not thieves, we are not thieves—"

One of the men said hurriedly, too frightened to breathe.

"Xiao Ba, are you afraid, are you a bit courageous?"

At this moment, the other one covered his face and made a crisp sound.

"Huh?" Now, Zhu Yixi became interested.

"Take off the facecloth!"

He said softly, found a chair and sat down, like an official who tried the case.

Soon, a man and a woman appeared in front of everyone.

The man is young and immature, with the appearance of fifteen or sixteen years old, but the woman has a melon-seeded face, delicate skin, and charming eyes. There is no autumn water in the eyes, only the opposite firmness.

"Say it? Why do you want to steal from me?"

Zhu Yixi glanced sideways, and asked: "Who doesn't know that I, Zhu Yixi, have a clean sleeve and a humble heart, and you are in the wrong place when you come here."

"We're not stealing."

The woman stared and said directly: "We are here to hold you hostage and save my uncle."

"I want to save my father!" The boy also hurriedly said while struggling.

"Abducted?" Zhu Yixi was taken aback, looking at the young faces of the two, she couldn't help but said, "How can I save your uncle and your father? He was kidnapped by robbers?"

"You forced my uncle into the plague camp, you are really cruel."

The woman gritted her teeth and said viciously.

"Plague camp?" Zhu Yixi was taken aback for a moment, and then said, "Your uncle must have had the plague, otherwise how did you get into the plague camp?"

"No!" The boy hurriedly said, "He just coughed, and occasionally coughed up blood, and he didn't have any pimples. How could he have the plague?"

"No bumps?"

Zhu Yixi squinted her eyes, could someone use this to slander her?

"Nobody ever got the plague?"

"No."

"Is this true?"

"Absolutely true."

The two nodded seriously.

"What's your name? Which workshop do you come from? I'll find out as soon as I investigate."

There are many and mixed people, and it is inevitable that some people will take advantage of the gap and act on the opportunity.

Zhu Yixi sighed in his heart, if it is inevitable, he can save it in time.

"Sun Changzhou, Tianjingfang."

The girl said crisply.

"I understand!"

Zhu Yixi nodded, and then asked others to take him down: "In the end, he broke into my house. You can stay overnight tonight. After the investigation is clear tomorrow, I will let you go back."

"Row--"

The girl said directly: "As long as my uncle can be rescued, it's nothing."

After they were taken away, Zhu Yixi shook his head and thought about it: "Either they are yamen servants, or they are the head of the workshop, and finally they may be soldiers."

"Perhaps, this incident can be used to intimidate the soldiers, so that they can have a long memory."

Turning a disadvantage into an advantage, Zhu Yixi sighed that he was too smart.
