my days with tyrants

Chapter 5 Eight Generations of Poor Peasants in Your Family
"Me, me, can we do it another way?"

The little princess was trembling all over, and stammered.

At this moment, she is holding Yang Feng tightly, like a cat forced to the river, because she is like a wind chime hanging under the eaves, and a thin rope is hung on the eaves above her head. The frightening slenderness carried the two of them, and the ground below them was more than ten meters high...

A gust of night wind blows, and they sway like wind chimes.

"Don't move around, I'm not responsible if you fall."

Yang Feng, who had a horoscope hanging on his waist and held a rope in his hand, said sincerely.

The little princess wants to cry but has no tears.

"Actually, you can give up. I really don't want to take you with me."

Yang Feng said.

The little princess shook her head without hesitation.

"Extend your head and open your mouth!"

Yang Feng said.

She opened her mouth blankly.

A cloth ball that Yang Feng had prepared a long time ago was stuffed into her mouth in an instant.

Her eyes widened and she whimpered in protest.

"Don't spit it out!"

Yang Feng shouted.

She accepted the foreign object in her mouth in humiliation.

The next moment Yang Feng loosened his hand, and the double-strand rope that he was holding tightly slipped quickly after being rubbed by the figure-of-eight ring, and he began to descend rapidly while hanging in mid-air.

The little princess screamed in horror, but because of the cloth ball in her mouth, she could only make a dull sound. Only then did she understand the function of this thing, she just screamed like that and instinctively lowered her head, with the terrifying The world is physically isolated, feeling the gravity and the wind in her ears, but soon after Yang Feng's body stopped, all this was over, and when she opened her eyes, she was already downstairs...

"Which way?"

Yang Feng pulled out the cloth ball from her mouth and asked in a low voice.

The little princess immediately pointed to the right, Yang Feng put on the night vision goggles, and got into the dark rockery and flowers in front of him.

They didn't notice that a pair of eyes were watching them with interest from a small building behind.

The two moved forward quickly in the dark, and were soon blocked by high walls, but this obstacle was nothing to Yang Feng. Go forward, and finally reach the bottom of the city wall.There were soldiers walking on the city wall, and they didn't dare to move, so they waited cautiously in the dark, until the soldiers were far away, then Yang Feng threw a rope and hooked the female wall, and then used the night vision goggles there again Observe the surrounding area and quickly climb up after confirming that there is no one there.

This kind of city wall is not straight up, but actually has a certain slope, and it is made of green bricks that are easy to step on. Holding onto the climbing rope, he quickly climbed onto the city wall, and then flipped out at the fastest speed...

This kind of city wall does not need any auxiliary, a rope is enough.

After landing, he retracted the rope.

Then turned around and was dumbfounded.

Outside is the river surface tens of meters wide, the shimmering light reflects the lights on the city wall, while on the other side of the river surface are dense buildings, in these buildings there are still patrol lights moving, and some buildings are lit.

And after these buildings stretched for hundreds of meters, there was still a city wall at the end.

"How deep?"

he asked with his back against the city wall.

"Three feet."

The little princess replied.

"I still think you should get rid of you."

Yang Feng said.

"If you dare to abandon me, I will call. The opposite side is full of pro-military guards and craftsmen. As long as I call out, you will be unable to escape. There is a bridge to the south, but at the end of the bridge is Donghua Gate, and there are pro-military guards on duty at the gate." Guards, and firearms."

said the little princess.

"How many pro-military guards are there on the opposite side?"

Yang Feng asked.

"Twelve guards are on duty, and one guard has five thousand soldiers. As for how many people are on duty, it's hard to say. The twelve guards are on the left and right, and they are on duty in turn."

said the little princess.

So even if 6 people are on four shifts, even if there are three shifts, there are thousands of people on that side, and this is not the Ming Dynasty army that was about to collapse. This is the 25th year of Hongwu, and all the generals and soldiers are all experienced. Fighting, especially this is the most elite troops of the pro-military guards, the emperor's personal soldiers.He needs to carry a burden on his back, cross a river tens of meters wide and three feet deep, and then pass through a defense zone guarded by at least a few thousand elites, and then there is a city wall in front of him.

Moreover, there are obviously a lot of patrols on the city wall, and you can see a lot of lights constantly moving here.

"If you know how to swim, you can carry me on your back. Let's swim southward. After passing Donghuamen, we will reach the Taimiao area. There is no one there. Go forward until you reach the south wall of the imperial city. Just turn over and go out. "

she continued.

"You are a princess, don't you think about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting on weekdays, so you study how to escape from the palace?"

Yang Feng looked at her speechlessly.

"There is no one to play with me in the palace. My brother used to come to see me, but now he has also gone to fief the land. I am left alone. I am in prison in the palace. Just take me out, and I can take you to my brother's house." There, he was named the king of Liao, and he was in Guangning. I don’t know where it is, it’s far away, it’s said that it’s thousands of miles away, and he’ll give you whatever you want when you get there.”

The little princess seduces him.

Yang Feng simply put her down, then took her out and put her aside casually.

"You can't leave me!"

The little princess is in a hurry.

Yang Feng ignored her, and rearranged the rucksack to complete the sealing of the items inside, and then inflated the airbags on both sides, then walked behind her with the rucksack, grabbed her belt and picked it up, and went straight into the water, putting the backpack on Throwing the pouch on the surface of the water as a buoy, and throwing Her Royal Highness up, she instinctively lay on the buoy, but her body still had to go into the water...

"I am the princess!"

The little princess, who couldn't stand his roughness, was filled with grief and indignation.

"Oh!"

Yang Feng agreed.

Then he ignored her, made a floating bag out of a raincoat, and dragged the backpack to swim into the deep water.

Her Royal Highness the Princess was so frightened that she hugged the rucksack tightly, and as he dragged it forward, the two of them headed south quietly on a pitch-black river. In order to ensure privacy, Yang Feng chose to stay as close to the shore as possible. Covered by reeds and aquatic plants.

Soon they arrived at Donghuamen. There were indeed many figures on the city wall, but no one paid attention to them, and the lights on the city wall could hardly illuminate them. The two got under the bridge without any danger, and passed The Donghuamen Bridge then continues forward, passing the turret and entering the horizontal section of the river.However, there is a narrower river mouth on the opposite side. The little princess pointed to it, and Yang Feng swam over immediately. After entering this river, there is nothing to worry about, because there are dense trees on both sides, and behind the trees on the right is majestic building...

"Tai Temple."

The little princess said with obvious suppressed excitement.

"You old Zhu's ancestors were poor peasants for eight generations."

Yang Feng said.

Of course, this is just a description.

The ancestors of the Zhu family were supposed to be self-cultivated farmers in the south of the Yangtze River, but they were later classified as gold-digging households by the Yuan Dynasty. In fact, the local tyrants just wanted to annex their land. In the end, he had to buy gold by himself and hand it in. This is definitely not possible. He had to abandon the land and flee, and then the land would naturally fall into the hands of local tyrants.

It's no wonder that Zhu Yuanzhang killed the powerful landlords in the south of the Yangtze River.

The Zhu family fled to the Fengyang area and could only be reduced to tenants, farming everywhere for them to survive.

Really lingering, I know from the birthplaces of Zhu Yuanzhang's brothers, his eldest brother and second brother are all born in different places, one in Xuyi, one in Wuhe, and one in Zhongli, that is to say, their family has been constantly changing in those years. Employers, like refugees, took landlords as tenants in that area.This is also the lowest class among tenants. In ancient times, it was clan-based, and tenants of the same clan planted good land, while tenants of other surnames planted poor land. This kind of wandering tenants planted the worst land.

No wonder they all starved to death.

"So what about the eight generations of poor peasants, isn't my father the supreme being in the world now?"

The little princess said proudly.

Yang Feng was speechless.

Indeed, so what about the eight generations of poor peasants, they are now emperors.

But then he glanced at the little princess' arm, and poked it maliciously.

The latter still maintained the royal arrogance, looked down, and with the dim light of Yang Feng's watch, he could see a small animal wriggling there, and then her pupils dilated, and she was about to scream when she opened her mouth. Yang Feng covered her as quickly as possible, and then while she was writhing like crazy, he took a leech off her arm...

"this is you!"

Yang Feng said with a smile in front of her holding the leech.

The little princess who cried in fright had no interest in caring about anything else. Just like everyone who had encountered the same thing, she looked for it in her body in horror, and even opened the neckline to look inside...

But nothing can be seen.

Yang Feng happily continued to swim in front, and the little princess continued to check her body in horror. The two of them reached the end of the river in this way. Inside the water gate is an iron fence...

"I always feel like we came out a little too smoothly."

Yang Feng, who climbed up the city wall in the same way as before, stood in the night wind and looked at the ancient city ahead and said.

It is indeed a little smooth and abnormal. It is said that there were gunshots and explosions in the palace before. Even if the gunshots did not have much effect, it was just a pistol, but the explosion of the grenade was different. It is said that there was such an explosion in the imperial city. Even the outside of the city may have been alarmed. If there were tens of thousands of soldiers on duty, the walls of the imperial city would have already been heavily guarded, but there was no obstacle for them to walk along the way.

There are indeed patrols, but they are limited to normal patrols. There are indeed a large number of soldiers at the city gate, but these soldiers are obviously not ready for battle.

This is not normal.

This is not the pro-military guards who had been abolished in the late Ming Dynasty.

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up, I can finally leave the palace!"

The little princess said excitedly behind him.

"Get out of the palace, I'll find a place to sell you after I leave the palace."

Yang Feng said angrily.

After he finished speaking, he remembered one thing...

"Do you have any money with you?"

he asked.

"Money? Why do you bring money? Are you talking about treasure notes? I don't have that thing. Do you think I still need to buy things myself?"

The little princess said in a daze.

"Well, I really have to sell you somewhere."
