After Ming Dynasty

Chapter 26

Mr. Zhu doesn't even live in the main house, who is qualified to live in the main house?
There is no doubt that it is the folks, and it is also the old and weak women and children.

As we all know, once you become a refugee, the worst thing is to be old like a woman and a child. They are weak and easy to bully.Beaten, robbed, sold, even eaten...

And here, they lived in a comfortable and spacious main house.It seems to have returned to the peaceful time of respecting the old and loving the young. It would be great to keep doing this!
"Master Zhu, Bodhisattva!"

An old man bowed down to the concierge, tears streaming down his face.Seeing the mixed emotions in the hearts of those young refugees, some things that had disappeared for a long time seemed to be reborn in their bodies.

The young migrants took the initiative to go to the wing rooms on both sides, the woodshed, the warehouse, and even the barn.

Soon there was snoring everywhere, and everyone slept peacefully and soundly.

The sky was hazy, Zhu Yiyuan got up, he reached the gate of the courtyard, stretched his waist and legs, and started to run.Not long after, many young refugees followed Zhu Yiyuan and started running.

There are more and more people, like a happy dragon.

After a quarter of an hour, Zhu Yiyuan stopped, looked back at the panting crowd, and said with a smile, "Do you know why you are running?"

The one closest to him was a small vagrant with dimples on his face. He scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "What are you doing, Young Master Zhu? Let's follow."

Zhu Yiyuan laughed, "Okay, I'm going to eat now, so you all come along."

After speaking, Zhu Yiyuan walked towards the kitchen, and could smell the aroma of rice from a long distance away.

A refugee woman was cooking porridge here, and she was surprised when she saw Zhu Yiyuan coming.

"Master Zhu, you go back first, let's make something right away and send it to you."

Zhu Yiyuan leaned over to look at the white rice porridge in the pot, and said with a smile: "This is very good, do you still want to eat dragon liver and phoenix marrow?" Zhu Yiyuan picked up a large bowl from the side and let him serve it A bowl, then went to the corridor, and ate it by itself.

At this time, other refugees also arrived, and the big guys were a little bit surprised when they saw Zhu Yiyuan was here, and they didn't dare to go forward.

"Don't be dazed, you've been running for a while, is your stomach empty? Hurry up and eat, there's still training after eating."

The refugees were stunned, and rushed forward one after another to receive a bowl of porridge.

It is a blessing to be able to eat hot white rice porridge.

I can still be like Mr. Zhu, today's porridge is extra sweet.

Not long after, the big guys finished eating, and they all looked at Zhu Yiyuan, waiting for Mr. Zhu's orders.

At this moment, Tan Qiye came back with some weapons collected from Zichuan, and met Zhu Yiyuan.

"How about it, have you eaten? Let's have some porridge with the big guys."

Zhu Yiyuan took the initiative to step forward, there was just a little left in the pot, and he filled it up for Master Qi.

Tan Qi took it, but did not rush to drink, but said: "Young Master Zhu, do you eat the same as the big guy?"

At this time, the little refugee said loudly: "Not only does the food stay the same, but the young master also lives in the concierge, giving up all the good rooms to the elderly and children."

Hearing this, Tan Qi was startled for a moment, and suddenly sighed, "Your Majesty, do you know that I have served under King Chuang?"

Zhu Yiyuan was not surprised at all. In fact, from Tan Laoqi's words and deeds, he could guess that his experience was definitely not simple.

"Young master, Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng, and other leaders of the rebel army, I have seen them all. I also served as a servant to a famous general in the court."

Zhu Yiyuan was a little surprised, no wonder Tan Qiye looked down on Wang Qing, it turned out that his previous experience was more expensive than Wang Qing's!

Tan Qiye said with emotion: "I have followed so many people. When we were under King Chuang, we robbed everywhere and coerced the people. Every battle must let the people be in front. The dead are like cutting wheat. Once, a A ten-year-old boy told me before the war that he begged me to give him a bowl of wine, and he heard people say that after drinking wine, he would not be afraid of anything..."

When Qi Ye said this, his voice was visibly trembling and choked, "After this battle, I left King Chuang, and then went to the officers and soldiers. It stands to reason that the generals of the court should do some personnel work? No, he asked us to kill the common people , Said he was a rogue, and asked me to choose some beautiful girls for him... Hey!"

Tan Laoqi sighed heavily, he wanted to make the world better, he fought against the rogues, and the rogues didn't treat the common people as human beings.He wanted to join the court, but the court was even more disappointing.

"Mr. Zhu, it's been these days. I am convinced by your words, deeds, and things you do. In a word, I will listen to Mr. Zhu for the rest of my life."

The refugees also said one after another: "That's right, we also listened to Mr. Zhu."

After finally waiting for the big guy to calm down, Zhu Yiyuan said with emotion: "I told the big guy that to be a junior soldier is to treat the common people. What should we do internally? A very important thing is that the officers and soldiers are consistent, and the big guy eats the same Yes, drink the same, no one is superior. Because fighting is the business of our big guys, only when the soldiers think about one thing and work hard, can we be invincible. Among us, there are high and low positions, and orders must be obeyed. Violation of military regulations will be punished. But we are not superior or inferior, the most important thing is that we must be consistent in eating, drinking and clothing. What do you guys think?"

The refugee soldiers nodded one after another. It was their wish to be in such a team.

Zhu Yiyuan smiled, "Since everyone agrees, let's take the weapons."

Zhu Yiyuan led the big guys to the threshing ground, which was a temporary military training ground, and all the weapons Qi Ye brought were placed here.

Full of joy, Zhu Yiyuan stretched out his hand to pick up a Yanling Saber, looked at the inscription on the handle, it was still from the year of Chongzhen, not too long ago, he pulled it out, and was about to swing it when suddenly the blade fell to the ground.

The groaning, startled Zhu Yiyuan.

Facing the empty hilt, Zhu Yiyuan frowned, he was not reconciled, and drew out several swords one after another, more or less, all had faults.The blade is as thin as paper, not to mention killing people, it is estimated that even chickens cannot be killed.

Finally, he found a knife with the characters Wanli on it. It was already rusty, but it felt good when he waved it in his hand. He waved it at the willow branch next to it, and the branch broke in two.

Zhu Yiyuan was dumbfounded, and smiled helplessly for a long while, "No wonder the Ming Dynasty is getting more and more crotch, this weapon can be seen, it's no wonder that the Ming Dynasty is not dead."

Zhu Yiyuan said seriously: "These weapons must be checked carefully, and those that cannot be used must be picked out. Even with a shovel and a wooden stick, it is better than these fooling things. We can't make fun of our brothers' lives."

The hearts of the refugees and soldiers were warm.

Tan Qi thought for a while and said, "My lord, why don't you find some blacksmiths and make another one?"

Zhu Yiyuan asked: "Is it possible to find a blacksmith?"

"Yes, there is one in Zichuan County, I'll go hire someone now."

Zhu Yiyuan nodded, "Remember to be polite and pay enough wages. If we kill those big households, there is still no shortage of gold and silver."

Tan Qi nodded and hurried to make arrangements.

Zhu Yiyuan carefully selected weapons, and then led the refugee soldiers to learn the formation.Starting from basic standing, almost a day is spent under the sun.

But no one complained, because Mr. Zhu was exactly the same.

The day passed quickly, and when it was time for dinner, it was much richer than breakfast, with white rice and vegetable soup.Zhu Yiyuan lined up with the soldiers.

Compared with the morning, although the team was crooked and out of shape, it was obviously much quieter.

At last he made some progress, Zhu Yiyuan was in a good mood, he took the initiative to clean his bowls and chopsticks, and then went to the concierge.In addition to training troops, it is also necessary to organize the roster and draw up military regulations.

He moved out the norms of the military camp in his previous life, deleted those that were out of date, and slightly added some content that should be paid attention to now. Before he knew it, he was busy until midnight and was planning to rest.

Suddenly there was a sound from outside, he got up hurriedly, just as he walked out, he saw a dozen rebel soldiers escorting a few people over.

"Master Zhu, these bastards wanted to run away, so let us catch them back."

Zhu Yiyuan's face darkened immediately, and he hurriedly ordered to call everyone over.

Including the folks in Dazhuang Village, it is easy to identify by the light of the torches. These are all wealthy households in the village, and they want to escape together.

It is worth mentioning that Zhang Xiucai was not among them, but his complexion was uglier than anyone else.Because these people had looked for him, but he suddenly had diarrhea and couldn't leave at all.

Who would have expected that these few were caught by the patrolling refugee soldiers as soon as they left the village.

Zhu Yiyuan looked at these soldiers and said comfortingly: "Why do you think of going to patrol outside the village?"

The short, dimpled soldier smiled shyly, "Young Master, it's not that we want to think together, we're just afraid that someone will have bad thoughts."

Zhu Yiyuan couldn't help laughing, the soldiers began to have subjective initiative, very good.

He praised the soldiers, then turned his head, and said coldly to the wealthy households, "Where are you going? And who do you want to get rid of us thieves?"
