The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 4 Coated Minions
Huang Sheng quickly ran down from the mountain bag, while Huang Mingli and Huang Mingdao were lying under a big tree and dozing off.

He kicked them awake one by one, and the three hurriedly put the silver and a few pieces of gold jewelry they had prepared in a conspicuous place.

Huang Mingli picked up a human-shaped thing on his back, checked it, found no flaws, and planned to let Jiannu find him and run away.

Huang Sheng asked him to make up to look like a Han citizen fleeing for his life with his wife on his back. Because of Huang Sheng's disguise, he looked alike from a distance. The woman had fluttering hair and was dressed gorgeously.

As for how the women's clothes and hair came from, of course Huang Mingli selected them from the victims.

When he took that woman's hair, he made an oath that if he disturbed your rest today, tomorrow I will kill a Jian slave to avenge you.

When Huang Mingli fled, he was not afraid of Jiannu's bow and arrow, because the dummy on his back was wrapped in wood and cotton clothes, and the bow and arrow could not shoot through it at all.

Coming over the main road is Yu Ding who built slaves, and the Eight Banners system that built slaves. Their most basic level is Niulu, and each Niulu should be able to produce three hundred armored soldiers.

Now Jiannu is developing too fast, and many Niulu are not satisfied with the members.The Jiannu in the rising period had stricter assessments on soldiers. They were divided into vests, infantry armors, baya las, and so on.

Yu Ding is actually a militiaman, and this Yu Ding's name is Ta Gukan. He has an older brother who is already a Jiannu official soldier vest, and Jiannu three men get one, so he can only be counted as Yu Ding, unless his brother dies, he will become an official soldier.

Whenever Jiannu went out to fight, many Yu Ding would bring Aha, that is, slaves, to follow the team to plunder.

They only need to hand over part of the property and people they personally robbed to Niulu, and the rest is their private property.

So the Yu Dings all took the initiative to fight with the army, and they never got tired of it.

Ta Gukan followed his Niu Lu to hunt down the Han people all the way, and got a lot of property.

The Han people fled in all directions, covering the mountains and plains, and his Niulu also divided the team into small teams. Anyway, the Han people were like sheep to be slaughtered. They hardly encountered resistance and became more and more courageous.

Not long ago, he harmed a Daming woman and wanted to take her back to be Aha, but unfortunately she accidentally threw the woman into a well.

He hurriedly salvaged the woman, only to find that she was dead.Due to a lot of delay, when he came to find his team, he found that he had already set off.

Ta Gukan was a veteran, he had even plundered Mongolia, he was not afraid at all, he still had experience, and he knew that as long as he followed along the road, the corpses of Han people left behind would soon be able to join his Niulu.

Aha, who only hated himself, couldn't walk fast, procrastinated, no matter how much he whipped him, it was useless.

It seems that if we want to be able to grab a large animal, it is best to be able to grab an ox cart. There are too many things, and the horse can barely carry them.

This kid is wearing two layers of armor, the inside is cotton armor, and the outside is the iron armor his brother just gave him.

His elder brother had already obtained two sets of chain mail when he attacked Da Ming Guangning City last year, so he gave his original equipment to his younger brother.

Ta Gukan turned around a hill, and was attracted by the noise in front of him, and he became excited all of a sudden.

A woman, a woman from Ming Dynasty, seems to be a woman from a wealthy family.The hunter's eyes are not simple, he has already seen the woman's long fluttering hair and gorgeous clothes.

He immediately drove his horse and rushed over. The woman in front seemed to be carried by a person, and that person seemed to be going into the dense forest.The Han people are too cunning, they know to hide in the woods, our horses can't gallop.

If they can't escape no matter what, Ta Gukan leaps and whips his horse and chases after him, but is suddenly dazzled by something shiny in front of him, silver?gold?With great luck, he slowed down and didn't care to continue chasing into the woods.

Suddenly he felt the danger, and quickly clamped the horse's belly, wanting to jump forward.

A black shadow approached him, and he instinctively turned to the left, wanting to hide in a stirrup, but he was hit by a strong force just after halfway through the movement, he spurted out a large amount of blood, and fell headlong Get off now.

The war horse under the crotch did not know that its owner had fallen off the horse and still rushed forward. After running about a hundred steps, the thorns in front of it were dense and there was no way to go. The horse was very spiritual and stopped.

The moment Ta Gukan fell off the horse, Huang Sheng rushed out from behind the big tree holding an axe.

Unexpectedly, Huang Mingdao moved even faster, he had already swung the hammer and smashed down on one of Ta Gukan's legs, with a click, the force was too great, almost flattening Ta Gukan's leg.

Huang Mingdao was still not satisfied, he swung the hammer and was about to smash Ta Gukan's head flat.Huang Sheng hurriedly shouted: "Don't hit your head, that's military merit, it's money."

Fortunately, Huang Mingdao found that the Jiannu on the ground was dead, so he didn't smash it again.

Huang Sheng said again: "There is another one, it may be the coated slave, let's catch him quickly, if he doesn't resist, don't beat him to death."

The two quickly ran towards the main road. Just after running for dozens of steps, horseshoes sounded behind them, and Huang Mingli rode on Jiannu's war horse and rushed up like lightning.

Huang Sheng shouted: "Remember, try to catch the ones alive."

Huang Sheng's series of runs was too much to bear, and he was left far behind by Huang Mingdao.It seems that the physical strength of this scholar is worrying!
That Aha saw that his master was going to harm the people of Daming again, although he felt itchy with hatred in his heart, he could do nothing but take passive sabotage to delay.He led the horse and walked more slowly.

Suddenly a horse rushed towards him, and before he could react, a knight came in front of him.Immediately, a person sat upright and pointed his master's tiger gun at his throat, and Aha immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.

He said: "Heroic man, spare your life! Good man, spare your life! The slaves are Han, they were snatched by the master, and the slaves hate them too."

Huang Mingli didn't talk nonsense with him, and asked him to lead the horse off the main road and walk back.

Seeing that the man was arrested and returned, Huang Sheng didn't have time to talk nonsense, so he hurriedly cleaned the battlefield and cleaned up the leftover traces.

After finally getting the fruits of victory, don't rush to return the granules to the warehouse. If Jiannu passes by now, the fruits of his labor will be wiped out.

Huang Sheng saw this Aha being whipped by Jiannu just now, and knew that he should be an enslaved Han citizen.

He asked Aha to help him with the work, stripped Jianu naked, and took a Shun knife he had just seized, and prepared to cut off Jianu's head.

Huang Sheng gestured a few times but couldn't do it. A modern person really feels pressure to cut off the head of a corpse.

That Aha said: "Master, let the slave cut it, the slave hates this bastard to death."

Huang Sheng was a little worried about giving the knife to this Ahha. This fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy was very sensible, and he knew that people might not believe him.

He knelt in front of Huang Sheng and lifted up his clothes, only to see that his bony body was covered with scars, and the original skin color could hardly be seen.

Huang Sheng gave him the knife without saying a word, and went to clean up other things. He was not yet able to adapt to the bloody scene of cutting his head.

The battlefield was cleaned up, even the blood stains on the ground were buried with soil, and Jiannu's headless body was thrown into the pit dug beforehand to fill it with soil.

The head of Jiannu is a treasure, and it is not simply measured by 60 taels of silver.

The price offered by the Ming Dynasty for the head reward for Jiannu was about 60 taels of silver per level, but not only for silver, soldiers, generals, and civil servants could also be promoted to rank based on the head of Jiannu.

Huang Mingdao had prepared things like lime a long time ago. He carefully tanned Jianu's head, and he was glad that he stopped before smashing Jianu's head to pieces, otherwise he would suffer a lot.

The four led two horses and retreated into the depths of the dense forest that had been scouted in advance. Huang Sheng stayed behind the team along the way to eliminate the traces left by his party.

Huang Mingli and Huang Mingdao admired their young master so much.

It's just that I don't know where the young master learned these skills. With such an arrangement of retreat, who else would find out that we killed that Jian slave?
It wasn't until dark that Huang Sheng asked everyone to stop and camp. After everyone had a full meal, Huang Sheng began to question that Aha.

His name is Wan Dongshan, Liaodong Hanmin, former Ming Shenyang Zhongwei military household, 16 years old this year.

In the first year of the Apocalypse, the slave chieftain captured Zhongwei City in Shenyang, the family's father and two elder brothers were killed, and his mother and him were captured by Ta Gukan's elder brother as slaves.

There was a disaster in Liaodong, and a bucket of rice was sold for two or three taels of silver. My mother died of starvation in less than a year.

Huang Sheng saw that the pig tail on the back of Wan Dongshan's head was really not pleasing to the eye, motioned for him to come over, and said: "From now on, you will be an upright Han Chinese, and you will no longer be a slave, aha, I will take care of this ugly pig tail for you .”

As he said that, he pulled out the Shun knife and cut off his little braid.Huang Sheng said to him: "You still have to shave off your hair and grow it back. When you arrive in Daming, don't let others know that you have been a slave aha."

Huang Mingli said: "My young master is doing it for your own good. You have a pig's tail. When you arrive in Daming, no one will cut it off and use it to pretend to be meritorious. Jiannu's head is worth a lot of money!"

Wan Dongshan listened to Huang Mingli's words, looked at the braids on the ground, felt terrified, knelt down in front of Huang Sheng and kowtowed gratefully, "Thank you master for caring for this servant, and this servant will serve you faithfully and faithfully in the future."

This kid became a slave during the four years when he was the most capable of learning, and he has already deeply realized the consciousness of a slave. Now that he has been rescued, he still has no self-consciousness to completely turn himself over, and he still keeps calling himself a slave.

Huang Sheng said: "Anyway, you are alone and homeless, so you can stay with me as a servant in the future. My Huang family is a scholarly family, and I am also a famous scholar. Of course, I will not humiliate you."

Wan Dongshan was overjoyed, he kowtowed and changed his words: "The young one kowtowed to the Patriarch, the young one will change his surname to Huang from now on, and the young master will call him the young Huang Dongshan from now on, what do you think?"

Huang Sheng seemed to be somewhat organized after listening to him, and asked: "Huang Dongshan, have you ever read and can read?"

Huang Dongshan's face suddenly collapsed, and he said sadly:
"The little one used to live a decent life at home. My father and two elder brothers were both on duty in Shenyang Zhongwei. My father saw that the little one was weak and not qualified to be a soldier. The family sent the little one to a private school when he was eight years old. The little one studied close to Four years."

Huang Sheng was very happy, his luck was really good.The literacy rate in the Ming Dynasty was only [-]%, far lower than the [-]% rate in the Southern Song Dynasty.

Now my two servants have been able to read and write under the teaching of the former master's father since they were young, and today they have taken in a servant who has also read for three or four years.

Huang Sheng asked Huang Dongshan to get up, and said: "In the future, I will study when I have time. Huang Mingli and Huang Mingdao are the same for you. Only by reading can you really understand the truth."

Huang Mingli and Huang Mingli don't like reading the most, because of this, they were hit by the master many times before, and they were only half-baked after seven or eight years of reading.Seeing that their young masters were in such a mess, they didn't take it seriously when they asked them to study.

If the two of them were nerds and didn't know how to fish or hunt during their escape, they would have been beheaded by Jian Nu or starved to death on the way.

Reading seems to be useless, how many Jiannu can read?Isn't chopping off the head of an old master who is full of economics like chopping melons and vegetables?
When Huang Dongshan heard that his new master was still willing to let him study, he quickly agreed. He saw that Huang Sheng looked very kind, and even gave him the same food when he ate just now. This is something he has never done in the past four years. What happened, he felt the warmth in his heart at this moment.
