Daming: From the end of Hongwu

Chapter 8 - 008
Three days, just three short days.

The transfer order of 'returning to the camp' has already been conveyed, and Beiping city has a feeling of chilling for a while.

Zhang Yuqing and the others didn't expect it to be so fast. When they heard the order, they all looked at Zhen Wu silently, not knowing what to say.

In fact, there is nothing to say, the fate of military households is to go to the battlefield.

Zhen Wu originally wanted to comfort him, but he felt that what he said had little effect, so he just smiled, turned around and sat down in the courtyard, tidying up his messy head.

Although he had been mentally prepared for a long time, he was still in a trance when he heard that he was returning to the camp. To be honest, as a person in a peaceful era, he had never seen the cruelty of a battle. It is a bit false to say that he is afraid of the battlefield.

But the anxiety is real.

To put it bluntly, I am worried that I will die, and I also look forward to my mighty power on the battlefield.

Zhang Yuqing looked at Zhen Wu's back, then turned around silently and began to help Zhen Wu pack his luggage. The two sages and a group of younger ones looked at Zhen Wu's back, each with their own thoughts.

In recent days, Simei's relationship with Zhen Wu has eased a lot for the sake of the little handkerchief, so she asked a little worriedly at this moment.

"Brother won't come back."

When Er Xian heard this, his heart skipped a beat, and then he immediately glared at the fourth sister. Before she could reprimand the fourth sister, the third child spoke up.

"What nonsense are you talking about, how could the eldest brother not come back."

The fourth sister pursed her mouth: "I'm also worried about big brother."

Erxian felt a little relieved in his heart. In the past, when his father went to the battlefield, these little ones were still ignorant, but now they are all grown up, and they know how to worry.

But then the two sages looked at Zhen Wu with some sadness.

She would never have thought that this elder brother, who had always been reserved and reticent, would carry this heavy burden of the family on his shoulders in just a few months after his father passed away.

Never said bitter.

Never had a hard time.

I don't know if I was like myself, sighing deeply and tossing and turning in the middle of the night, worrying about the future of this family.

She also knew the details of the family before, and knew that if she hadn't made money later, relying on the food stored in the family, some younger siblings might not be able to survive this winter.

Maybe it will end up as a cheap seller.

She looked at Zhen Wu's back and gradually lost her mind.

Xiao Liu still doesn't know what's going on, she just feels that the silence of the atmosphere displeases her, and then she strides towards Zhen Wu's back with her short legs as if she was having fun.

As soon as he hugged Zhen Wu's neck, he started giggling.

Annoyed, Zhen Wu picked up Xiao Liu from behind him, and Xiao Liu twisted his body, insisting on hugging Zhen Wu's thigh.

"Cauldron, fly high."

Zhen Wu immediately broke the defense and laughed out loud.

Silly boy.

Then I despised myself a little, thinking about what to do, and there are many people who are willing to risk their lives to fight for 200% profit in future generations, not to mention that I might be able to fight for the [-]-year fortune of my descendants.

Even if you fail, you will die on the battlefield at worst.

Thinking about it this way, Zhen Wu also thought it through, and while teasing Xiao Liu, he said to the third child: "The third child, go to Uncle Liu's house and borrow the horse, I have something to go out."

The third child responded and left.

Erxian looked at Zhen Wu's bright and confident smile as he did a few days ago, and also laughed.

When the third child came back with the horse, Zhen Wu threw the little six to the second virtuous, and after talking to his family, he got on the horse and rode away with a whip.

Xiaolingzhuang is a farm village, and the people in the village are basically military households of Yanshan right guards.

The Ming Dynasty implemented the system of garrison guards, so when there was no war, military households, except for the defending army, farmed at home.

Naturally, King Yan would not lose out to his own army, so each household has a lot of military land. Even Zhen Wu's family has [-] acres of military land, but because his family lives in the city, the military land is all Rent it to other military households.

Zhang Yuqing thought many times about moving back to Xiaolingzhuang to farm.

It's just that even if we move, we have to wait for the spring, so we have been delaying it.

Collecting rents does not actually collect much food.

If there were only Zhang Yuqing and his wife, they would probably be able to live a comfortable life in the city.

But with so many children, there will be a food shortage every year.

Children are the debt collectors of their parents. It's really not nonsense.

……

The land of Zhen Wu's family was leased to a small banner called Xue Lu under his banner.

Xue Lu, 26 years old this year, lost his father very early. He joined the army when he was a teenager, and followed Zhen Wu's father.

He has been taken care of by Zhen Wu's father a lot, and now he holds the position of Xiao Qi in the second small flag, and there are ten people under his command, which is the small flag closest to Zhen Wu.

Zhen Wu hurried all the way into Xiaoling Village, and when he arrived at Xue Lu's house, he greeted his sister-in-law, and the two walked out along the Zhuangzi road while chatting.

He didn't know much about the battle formation, so he mostly asked questions, and after hearing the answers, he made his own conclusions.

Xue Lu didn't hide his secrets either, and told Zhen Wu everything he knew.

It wasn't until the two of them chatted for a while that Zhen Wu finally explained why he came.

"Old Xue, you recommend someone in Xiaoqi." Zhen Wu tilted his waist and picked up a few stones, and said casually, "I plan to let him replace you."

Xue Lu didn't think too much, and said directly: "Li Hu is fine, young and brave enough..."

But as I talked, I found something was wrong.

And Zhen Wu was shaking the stone in his hand, just when he remembered Li Hu's appearance, he heard Xue Lu shouting impatiently.

"Hey, Boss Zhen, we grew up together, right? You can't just take over your father's position, and you're about to dismiss me. Isn't it a bit rude?"

Seeing Xue Lu's indignant look, Zhen Wu couldn't help but smile.

"What? With our friendship, I dismissed you, and you still have problems with me?"

Xue Lu stared, wanting to get angry, but felt that something was wrong. He blushed and said "you, you, you" for a long time, and finally he complained.

"Since you know that we are friendly, you dismissed me. It's not that you don't know that I want to make contributions."

Zhen Wu laughed twice, then stopped laughing and threw the stone out of his hand.

"Old Xue, my first position as the General Banner is unstable. With our friendship, how can I withdraw you? I intend to let you succeed Hu Changyong as the first small banner, the small banner."

Xue Lu originally felt ironed when he heard Zhen Wu's heart-to-heart talk, but he couldn't help being surprised when he heard the latter.

"You want to withdraw Hu Changyong?"

Zhen Wu didn't speak.

But Xue Lu frowned: "Let's not say whether Hu Changyong recognizes him or not, I'll beat Hu Changyong, and they won't accept me."

Zhen Wu raised his eyebrows, and glanced at Xue Lu: "With this little talent, do you still want to make contributions?"

Xue Lu blushed when he was told.

Zhen Wu patted Xue Lu on the shoulder and continued: "You don't have to worry about Hu Changyong's reaction. I will discuss it with Mr. Tan. If you give the military order, he can't help but deny it. Your responsibility is to crush Hu Changyong to death, and I will help you. You, I will not only remove Hu Changyong from his position, but I will also break up the first small flag and help you reorganize the first small flag. I only have one request for you, that is, you twist the first small flag into a rope for me. "

Xue Lu's face was a bit tangled, no matter how much he said, the other party was the rebellious Hu Changyong, who would not have a headache.

Zhen Wu angrily dumped what Tan Yuan said to him a few days ago to Xue Lu: "The battlefield is not a child's play, and you can't win prestige by relying on others. Hu Changyong can't even handle it, and still dreams of becoming an official?"

After speaking, Zhen Wu's tone became severe.

But these words happened to be on Xue Lu's itch, and Xue Lu's blood was aroused for a while, he gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, I will fight, I, Xue Lu, think I am not a coward, don't worry, I will I will definitely tidy up the first little flag and obey it."

Zhen Wu nodded.

This is the result he wants, Hu Changyong jumps up and down, as the general flag and his subordinates, he doesn't work hard, no matter what the result is, his face is not good-looking, the best way is to push out someone to clean up Hu Changyong.

In this way, no matter what the result is, even if Xue Lu can't deal with Hu Changyong, Xue Lu is still incompetent, and has nothing to do with me, Zhen.

A sneer appeared on the corner of Zhen Wu's mouth.

No matter how he failed to start a business in his previous life, he was always a boss, managing dozens of people, which was really not a problem for him.

What is management?
The simplest point is to let people who can solve problems solve problems.
