Start by capturing Zhu Chongba alive

Chapter 15 Han Shantong, the leader of Bailian (for investment)
Chen Sijiu took the blackened silver bean.

He stretched out his hand and gently moved Peng Yingyu's head, and said with a smile: "You are a bit filial, and you know how to miss your parents."

"That's right, my parents treated me very well."

Peng Yingyu sat down again, hugged her knee with one hand, and grabbed the crotch with the other hand, pinched a lice from the crotch, bit it in her mouth, and said worriedly while nibbling her finger: "I just don't know if my parents are still alive or not?" , Many people died of starvation in Jiangxi. At first they could eat wild vegetables and weeds, but later they could only eat leaves and bark, and then they could eat Guanyin soil. Later, the river was dry and there was nothing to eat, so we fled to the north. "

"Why don't you flee the famine and go further south?"

Peng Yingyu said: "To the south? There are many southern barbarians and bandits over there. Some of them were caught up to the mountain by Huguang barbarians and imprisoned in a pigsty. They picked out those with tendons and hamstrings and beat their heads into fools. It's better to go to the north and give them a hand. The Mongolian master should be the excuse, I also heard that the king in the cottage likes to eat the heart of the child, tied up the person, poured cold water on the heart, and scooped it out while it was hot..."

Chen Sijiu was silent again.

Since the founding of the Great Yuan, rebel armies from all over the world have come and gone without stopping.

Today's government can control very limited places. The Mongols and Semu people have no ethics at all, and the discipline is chaotic.

Dayuan's official army is more bandit than bandit.

The officials colluded with each other, exploited and deducted, and asked for money when they went to court.It doesn't matter, the government caught you and sold you to the temple as a slave, or to a big rich man. The pawnshops opened by temples all over the country lend usury, which is called long-term interest, and the usury of Semu Huihui is called lamb's interest, which is endless, Lao Tzu When the son dies, he returns, when the son dies, the grandson returns.

In the past few years, after a severe drought in Shaanxi, there was a severe flood, and then locust plagues, thousands of miles away, and there was a tragedy of changing children and eating them.

"Does the government in Jiangxi not care?"

Chen Sijiu asked.

Peng Yingyu snorted and scolded: "Government? If I gain power in the future and kill all those perverted dogs, the government's perverts will be particularly weak, and they will try to defraud the people and collect taxes. After more than 100 years, the government will Worse than robbers, who know how to save some spring seeds for farmers to rob them next year, and government tax collectors even rob you of spring seeds!"

"It's the Bailian Society, the Mingjiao, and Maitreya's incense clubs, which open warehouses to distribute food and absorb the common people, especially the Bailian Society."

Chen Sijiu squinted his eyes and thought carefully. The White Lotus Sect had set off a huge uprising 20 years ago, and there were also rebellions in recent years. The merchants spent a lot of money to lower their restrictions on the White Lotus Society. In the past few years, the three religions of the White Lotus Sect, the Ming Sect, and the Maitreya Sect have spread very rapidly, especially the Ming Sect and the White Lotus Sect.

Mingjiao is originally a branch of Manichaeism. Most of the top leaders are engaged in business and have a lot of money. The church masters and incense masters in various places are all local tyrants with billions of dollars. According to Peng Yingyu, these three sects have already begun to accumulate strength and are ready to revolt .

"Little monk, give me your water hyacinth."

He swallowed his saliva and moved his arms, feeling that his throat was still a little thirsty. According to the master's teaching, it should be due to excessive blood loss. Fortunately, he was strong enough to withstand it. He went to the edge of the sea again, knelt down He picked up a gourd of water from the ground and drank it, and poured three full gourds of water into his belly before he began to carefully observe the surrounding environment.

If Peng Yingyu is right, this place is still far away from Kaiping, the upper capital of Dayuan.

Then this water must be drunk enough, otherwise I don't know where the next meal will be.

The water in this Xiaohaizi is saline-alkali water, bitter, with cow and sheep excrement in it. The slaves caught by the caravan were also released by the guards at this time, and they frantically ran over to drink water. They pushed each other, Fighting to be the first, lying in the manure of cows and sheep, fighting each other, for fear that I will not be able to drink water...

A few women and children couldn't run fast because their feet were tied up with hemp ropes, and they were trampled under their feet, but no one stopped. In their gray and dull eyes, there was only water in the sea on the ground, as if this water could make them relief.

Drinking the few gourd water just now barely recovered Chen Sijiu's energy. He began to observe the surrounding environment. In the distance, there were a few merchants or beggars passing by the earthen stove, and there were some plant ash below. Don't dislike it, go forward and apply plant ash on the arm wound to prevent inflammation and infection.

At this time, a few Mongolian warriors with shaved hair and braids came here with horsewhips in their hands, leading their horses. Expelling his mouth, he kicked away those who couldn't dodge.

Chen Sijiu frowned heavily.

One of them should be the leader of this group of Mongolian warriors. He looks young, but he has a stocky figure and a big belly. He is obviously a nobleman of the Great Yuan Mongolian family. The Mongolian warriors on both sides cleared the way for him and let him drink horses. The female slave had fair skin and a good face, so she stepped on the female slave's shoulder, and the female slave only cared about drinking water and did not resist.

The Mongolian warrior leader leaned over and pinched the slave girl's neck, as if looking at an animal, squeezed her mouth open, and looked at the slave girl's teeth.

The female slave saw that she was being favored by a Mongolian master, her eyes lit up, and she hugged the leg of the Mongolian warrior leader in a fawning manner, begging and flattering her.

"This is Grand Master Hama."

Peng Yingyu moved closer to Chen Sijiu and whispered to him.

"Hama, is he a descendant of the Golden Family?"

Peng Yingyu shook her head.

"I don't know, I only know that he is from Qincha, who seems to be from the Kangju family in the Western Regions. I heard that his mother is the wet nurse of Emperor Ningzong of the Yuan Dynasty."

Chen Sijiu snorted.

Nahama directly lifted off the sackcloth of the female slave, inspected the goods in public, and felt that the girl's skin was fair and tolerable, so she nodded to the samurai beside her and took the female slave away.

Seeing this, the surrounding female slaves came forward to recommend themselves one after another, but Ha Ma was whipped for a while.

"What are they doing?"

Peng Yingyu grinned and said, "Only by becoming the master's servants can we have food, otherwise we won't even have alfalfa for the livestock. Have you seen those skinny old men?"

Chen Sijiu looked.

There were two skinny old men, not to mention the trousers, but only two pieces of torn linen tied around their waists. They walked tremblingly, fell to the ground and encouraged them to drink water, and it seemed that they would not live long.

"These skinny old men will probably starve to death tonight. If you have the courage to eat meat tonight, maybe you can share some of their bones."

Chen Sijiu was stunned.

Peng Yingyu seemed to be used to it, and she grinned and said, "Do you think I'm very powerful? Let me tell you, I've seen many people on the way to escape from the wilderness. People who are about to starve to death have hard shoulders, weak arms and legs, and especially dull eyes."

This was something the three masters had never taught Chen Sijiu.

He looked towards those thin old men, and he really saw that the complexions of these thin old men were sallow, their shoulders were stiff, their hands and feet were weak, and their eyes were a little gray like the eyes of a dead person.

Chen Sijiu looked around. There were some grass seeds on the side of the road, which could be peeled and made into powder. He called Peng Yingyu for help, and picked the grass seeds from the horsetail grass, picked some dandelions, and crushed the grass seeds and dandelions. , Send it to those skinny old men.

Peng Yingyu said: "What are you doing like this, these people have eaten their last meal, they might as well die, because they can be clean after death, have you seen those white-skinned people?"

"They are all the big lamas in the temple who want to do things. They were captured and taken away, and their calf bones were made into dharma names. If they die, their souls will not be able to go to the eighteenth level of hell. Wouldn't it be better if they died early?"

Chen Sijiu shook his head and said.

"There is still a difference between dying from a full meal and dying from starvation."

Originally, these mouth-swallowing slaves were not allowed to run around, but someone behind them saw Chen Sijiu and Peng Yingyu plucking weed seeds for food, so they followed suit and went up to pick up weed seeds to eat. These mouth-swallowing slaves usually don't give them any food to prevent them from escaping. Food, only a little water and a little fodder for the livestock, their movement caused a commotion in an instant, several Mongolian warriors noticed Chen Sijiu, and the elder Hama also led two warriors over.

"Who are you!?"

he shouted sharply.

Chen Sijiu glanced at the grand master Ha Ma of the caravan, and said: "I am Chen Sijiu, the 35th generation leader of Tianshi Taoism. I will go to Shangdu to meet His Majesty the Great Yuan Emperor, and offer elixir to the Great Emperor."

"Where did you hide my elixir, Tao disc, bow and arrow?"

Ha Ma looked him up and down, put his hands on the belt around his waist, and snorted coldly: "I remembered, you are the bastard who secretly drank Longjiao's kumiss, I don't care what you are. , according to the rules of our Mongolians, if you are snatched by me, you will be my slave."

Chen Sijiu grinned, his eyes flickered: "If we snatch you here, then you are also my slave?"

Hearing this, Ha Ma took a step back, and several Mongolian warriors happened to be leading two mastiffs at this moment. Both of these two mastiffs had red eyes, drooling from their mouths, barking wildly and agitatedly.

Peng Yingyu hurriedly took a step back, and whispered: "This is a mastiff that eats human flesh. If bitten by them, they will become lunatics. They are afraid of heat and wind. When they see the wind, they will foam at the mouth and die."

When Dayuan conquered the western countries, there used to be an army of mastiffs, all of them were mastiffs, which were specially used to bite the enemy's horses and search for money from wealthy households in the city. These mastiffs were the descendants of the mastiff guards.

Ha Ma snorted coldly and said: "Little Taoist priest, meeting me Ha Ma is a blessing from your previous life. The new emperor of Dayuan is about to ascend the throne, and he lacks some strong firemen (eunuchs) to serve him. I think You are not bad, don’t you know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, if I send you into the palace, you will be rich and powerful, wouldn’t you be happier than being a slave here?”

"I don't know how many people, those who want to enter the palace as fire, haven't had a chance yet."

The fire man is also the eunuch, Chen Sijiu laughed out loud when he heard it, took a step forward, looked at the two mastiffs howling wildly, and stared at them suddenly, the copper bell-like eyes burst out with a captivating light, Aware of Chen Sijiu's fierce fierce aura, the two mastiffs backed away in fright, lying on the ground with their heads bowed and howling.

"Your dog is nice."

Chen Sijiu reached out and touched the heads of the two mastiffs, then looked at Ha Ma.

Ha Ma was startled, gritted his teeth and was about to curse, when a Mongolian warrior came up and shouted, "My lord, Han Shantong, the leader of the White Lotus Sect, came to visit you with a few entourages, and also brought fifty altars of Shanxi Baijiu, 30 yuan in silver ingots, and [-] bolts of cloth."

Hearing that Han Shantong, the leader of the White Lotus Sect, brought a generous gift, Ha Ma's face suddenly turned into a smile, and he laughed and said, "Oh, brother Han is so polite, where are they?"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of hearty laughter behind him. A burly man with a wide forehead, leopard head and eyes around him, dressed like a rich man and dressed in satin, walked over with several burly entourages.

The person who came here was the leader of the White Lotus Sect in the Great Yuan Dynasty, Han Shantong from Hebei. His family has been the elder of the White Lotus Sect for generations. Together they rebelled against the Yuan Dynasty, and the White Lotus Sect was sentenced to treason and banned for a period of time. Otherwise, the White Lotus Sect might compete for the position of the Dharma King of the various religions at the Great Dharma Conference of the various religions. There is no such thing as Quanzhen Taoist Zhao Zhijing.

Many years have passed since the Bailian Rebellion, and the current leader, Han Shantong, is a man of courage and strategy. He came here this time with his confidant Liu Futong and Taoist Mr. Guan Duoguan, specially for the newcomer who went to Shangdu to be Dayuan. Emperor Tuo Huan Timur congratulated, and by the way explored the reality of Da Yuan today, preparing for future uprisings.

Over there, Chen Sijiu squinted his eyes and took a look, and found that Han Shantong was high-spirited. Behind him, Liu Futong, Mr. Guan, was also a hero for a while, and he thought about what some masters said, there was a man named Han Shantong who was rebellious. , In the future, he will rebel against Yuan, and he will definitely rise up.

He looked at Han Shantong, and he saw that his chest was protruding, his broad shoulders were concave, and his bones were in his arms.

"The leader of the White Lotus Sect is very angry."

Peng Yingyu beside her whispered.

Chen Sijiu patted him on the head, touched the back of Peng Yingyu's head, and said, "Boy, don't envy him. You can be more handsome than him in the future. There is a saying that shoots the first bird, and you see him dominating the dragon." , with eyes like copper bells, a burly figure, and all the soldiers under him are strong and strong, and the White Lotus Sect has followers all over the world, what do you think of?"

Peng Yingyu scratched her head, curled her lips in doubt, and said, "I thought no one would dare to provoke him."

"now it's right."

Chen Sijiu narrowed his eyes and said meaningfully: "Han Shantong, the leader of Bailian, is brave and resourceful, and has a lot of money. The Mongols have to give him face. When the Mongols can't give him face, he will go find it himself. "

"It's a pity, it's the common people who suffer..."

ps: Leng Zhizhi, the Yier Khanate in the west of the Great Yuan Empire, the national seal is in Chinese, and the words are "Fuguo Anmin Zhibao" in six Chinese characters.
