Chapter 13 How to lose the flying dragon riding the face?

Zhu Laosan felt that Zhu Xiaosong was somewhat unwilling to use bean buns as dry food.

The rebel army in Yuhuang Mountain has a total of about eighty people. Even if we add the more than two hundred people who just joined today, there are about three hundred people. According to Zhu Xiaosong's organization method, a full force is equivalent to the strength of a battalion.

No matter how poorly the Yanzhou Military Preparation Office is equipped, it still has thousands of soldiers and horses. If it's less, it's three battalions, if it's more, it's one regiment.

It's ridiculous enough to use a battalion of troops to fight against a regiment, and to fight professional soldiers with weak legs, but now look at what Zhu Xiaosong means, does he want to use about 80 people to fight against a regiment?

Therefore, Zhu Laosan still wanted to persuade Zhu Xiaosong: "Brother, I brought these two hundred people back to the mountain. You only have about eighty people left here. Yanzhou Bingbei has a thousand soldiers and horses.

no……"

Zhu Xiaosong shook his head and said: "That's not the case. Yanzhou Bingbei does have a thousand soldiers and horses that can be mobilized, but think about it, whether it is Mr. Hao, the Yanzhou prefect and Yanzhou Bingbei, they dare to make a big show of it

Mobilize a thousand soldiers and horses?"

"You know, to mobilize troops, you must first report to the Ministry of War. They can only mobilize after receiving military orders. They want to suppress the matter quickly before it gets bigger, so they have to mobilize troops privately. They can mobilize three to five hundred troops.

That’s already the limit.”

"Besides, even if they mobilize all the 1,000 soldiers and horses from the Bingbei Yamen, it won't be a big deal."

"Jiu Nu didn't trust them, so the old soldiers in the Yanzhou Bingbei Yamen not only were not equipped with firearms, they were not even equipped with many bows and arrows. Each of them could only use a broadsword and a long straw as a weapon."

"In addition, these veteran soldiers have not been in battle and have not been trained for a long time. About 80 of us used grenades to bomb them. The only problem we need to worry about is that the prisoners are not easy to capture."

"As I said before, if you can use grenades to wash the floor to solve the problem, you won't have to fight them to death with knives and guns."

After Zhu Xiaosong said this, Zhu Laosan slowly felt relieved.

Zhu Lao San also couldn't understand why his eldest brother seemed to have changed after his father died. Although he still loved himself and Zhu Lao Er as much as before, the majesty in his body became more and more serious.

Seriously, people can't help but believe in what he says.

Could it be said that the blood of rebellion really flows in his blood? Is the eldest brother really destined to be the emperor?

After thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't come up with a reason. Zhu Laosan simply put down these messy thoughts. After agreeing on a meeting place with Zhu Xiaosong, he and Liu Erniu hurriedly led the more than two hundred people who were willing to go up the mountain.

The rebellious young men went straight to Yuhuang Mountain.

After Zhu Laosan and Liu Erniu left, Zhu Xiaosong was also preparing to leave Ningyang County with the rebel army from Yuhuang Mountain.

Zhu Xiaosong said that this time he brought people to Ningyang County, firstly, not to rob homes, secondly, not to commit adultery and plunder, thirdly, not to force everyone to rebel with him, but to kill corrupt officials and distribute food.

Now that the corrupt officials have been killed, the food has been divided, and the land deeds that should be burned have also been burned. Zhu Xiaosong will naturally fulfill his promise and leave Ningyang County with the rebel army from Yuhuang Mountain.

This surprised the people of Ningyang County.

It's not that Ningyang County didn't have soldiers before. The 300 garrison troops under the patrol, as well as the policemen under the county captain, including jailers, postmen, etc., can all be counted as soldiers.

But, those soldiers are used to being tyrannical in Ningyang County. It's normal to eat watermelons without paying for them. Occasionally, they will do some bad things like kicking in the widow's door.

The word "soldier" has long been made into a bad name by them.

Now the Yuhuangshan rebel army led by Zhu Xiaosong came to Ningyang County, killed officials, and distributed the food. They did not enter the people's homes or rob the people of their wealth. They even distributed the food in a polite manner.

Now Zhu Xiaosong left without any hesitation, which made the people of Ningyang County a little uncomfortable.

Why do you just leave like those literati and sluts who visit brothels? Are you really heartless?

You, Zhu Xiaosong, are ruthless, but we, the people in Ningyang County who have benefited from your kindness, can't be ruthless, right? What have we become? Will we still have the nerve to say that we are the hometown of Confucius and Mencius in the future?

Therefore, when Zhu Xiaosong led the Yuhuangshan army to the city gate, people were surrounded on both sides of the road.

It's sheer nonsense to say that the willows of a ten-mile-long pavilion are folded and the willows are folded to see each other reluctantly. After all, in such a day, how can there be such a deep friendship?

For these people who have little education and spend most of their lives digging for food in the fields, the most affordable farewell is to boil a few eggs.

The market value of fifty pounds of grain and a few eggs is vastly different.

But in Zhu Xiaosong's heart, these fifty kilograms of grain were far inferior to these few eggs.

Zhu Xiaosong has lived a hard life and knows that even in future generations, people here in Ningyang County will only boil a few eggs when sending their relatives to travel far away.

Therefore, these eggs are really heavy in Zhu Xiaosong's heart now.

With this heavy weight, the money Zhu Xiaosong collected from the county government became less and less. If the people were willing to give eggs, it would be to show face to the Yuhuang Mountain rebel army, so the eggs had to be kept and the money had to be given to the people. They could not take advantage of the people.



Zhu Xiaosong was having an affair with the people of Ningyang County in Ningyang County, but Mr. Hao Liangcai, who was far away in Yanzhou Prefecture, wanted to scold his mother.

When he brought the gold, silver, jewelry, calligraphy and paintings he had picked up to the Yanzhou Magistrate's Yamen, Mr. Hao was very confident, thinking that as long as he could mobilize the Yanzhou Bingbei Yamen to send troops, the Yuhuang Mountain rebels would surely be captured.

But when Xu Yaozu, the Yanzhou military commander, ordered five hundred soldiers and horses in person, Mr. Hao's heart felt cold, even colder than drinking an ice-cold Sprite in the dog days of summer.

I didn't see the imaginary Tiger and Ben troops, nor did I see the imaginary scene of soldiers and armor equipped with swords and cold swords. Wherever I looked, there were only five hundred men wearing rags, and even long grass, broken poles, and big swords with curled blades.

"Elite Soldier".

If a newbie in the officialdom came here at this time, he would probably think that the Yanzhou Bingbei Yamen had no available soldiers. However, in Mr. Hao's view, this was clearly Xu Bingbei trying to instruct him.

Call what?

You say that the emperor has no shortage of hungry soldiers. If you, Mr. Hao, asked the Yanzhou Bingbei Yamen to send out troops to suppress the rebellion, should you, Mr. Hao, give you the equipment? Do you also owe Mr. Hao the food and salary?

The reason why Mr. Hao was feeling cold was that he was almost out of money.

Mr. Hao really wanted to scold his mother.

The gold, silver, jewelry, calligraphy and paintings presented to Wu Zude and Xu Yaozu have almost used up all the money that Mr. Hao has collected over the years. Now Xu Yaozu is telling himself so clearly - doesn't he mean to wait until Ningyang County?

, will Ningyang County pay for these five hundred elite soldiers to replace their equipment?

Let’s not talk about whether we can collect so much money in a short time. Even if we can collect enough money, the equipment for 500 people is not a small amount after all, and it will not take a day or two to build it.

If you delay for one more day, Ningyang County will have to spend one more day of money, and then Zhu Xiaosong will be able to play around for one more day, and his official hat will be dangling for one more day.

It’s his mother’s fault!

After scolding Xu Yaozu in his heart, Mr. Hao had no choice but to approach Xu Yaozu with a flattering smile and whispered: "Master Xu, please forgive me. I didn't pick up much gold and silver when I came here, but I have to feel aggrieved first."

After the soldiers arrive in Ningyang County for a while, you can then find a way to get some money for tea for the soldiers?"

Xu Yaozu glanced at Mr. Hao and hummed, but he didn't force Mr. Hao to take out the money now.

Mr. Hao then continued: "There is a Zhao scholar in Ningyang County. It is said that his daughter is as beautiful as a flower. If she can marry Mr. Xu, she will be a beautiful woman and a hero. Wouldn't it be a good story?"

Xu Yaozu's face became brighter at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he smiled and said: "You and I are officials in the same dynasty, and we are both serving the emperor. It is more important to suppress the rebellion, and it is more important to suppress the rebellion."

Mr. Hao once again thanked Xu Yaozu profusely. After the two of them got on the sedan chair, Mr. Hao's face couldn't help but darken, and his heart felt cold, painful and uneasy.

It feels cold and painful because Mr. Hao is almost out of money. He doesn't know how much he can plunder after returning this time, and how much he will have left after giving it to Xu Yaozu.

As for the uneasiness, it is purely because of the five hundred elite soldiers in the Yamen.

Mr. Hao has been in Ningyang County for a few years as a parent official, and he has also seen the scene of a fight between two villages under his rule. Although it is not as good as the bloodshed and corpses scattered everywhere in the book, the scene is enough.

Scary.

If these five hundred elite soldiers were allowed to suppress the two fighting villages... Mr. Hao suddenly felt very unconfident, and even felt that the final result might be that these five hundred elite soldiers were counter-suppressed.

What if, what if these five hundred elite soldiers are defeated by the rebels from Yuhuang Mountain, will this matter become a big deal? How will it end then?

Once this matter reaches the heavens, I am afraid that the Yanzhou magistrate will also be unable to protect himself. Xu Yaozu has a brother-in-law who is the governor of Shandong Province to rely on. Who should he rely on as the magistrate of Ningyang County?

The more Mr. Hao thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he even began to regret not reporting it directly at the first time.

If you expose the matter directly from the beginning, no matter whether you are punished or lose your official position, the money you have gained from being greedy over the years will be saved anyway.

It's a good thing now, the money is gone, the official position may not be kept, and even the head on the neck is not very stable?

The more Mr. Hao thought about it, the more frightened and angry he became. He wanted to catch Zhu Xiaosong quickly and cut him into pieces.

You said, these damn mud-legged people, why can't you just be obedient citizens? You don't deserve to be oppressed? Just suffer it and strive for a good pregnancy in your next life. Why did you rebel?

The land of Confucius and Mencius, bah! I don’t understand etiquette and shame, and I have lost the face of a saint!

Unlike Mr. Hao, who was always worried, Xu Yaozu, a soldier from Yanzhou, was having wild thoughts in his heart.

A third-rank official in the capital does not have a sedan chair to sit in, but a mere soldier from Yanzhou can ride in a sedan chair carried by eight people. What is this? This is what it means to have a good brother-in-law!

We went to Ningyang to quell the rebellion, but it was just a few dozen mud-legged people. Five hundred elite soldiers were not as easy to annihilate them as a strong man beating a baby? But before quelling the rebellion, how long should I stay in Ningyang County?

How much money can Hao Liangcai pay in tribute? Is the daughter of Zhao Xiucai's family beautiful? If Zhao Xiucai is willing, we, Lao Xu, have to call him father-in-law. If not, what if we let him do both the white and red affairs together?

Thinking of these messy things in his mind, Xu Yaozu gradually became sleepy, but just as Xu Yaozu's upper and lower eyelids were about to start fighting, he heard a loud bang coming from outside the sedan.

It's thundering?

It thunders and rains in summer, but what kind of thunder does it rain in winter?

Just when Xu Yaozu was thinking that there would be no thunder based on the sky, he suddenly felt that the sedan chair under his buttocks was suddenly emptied, and then he felt a sharp pain coming from under his buttocks.

Sir, have I been thrown?

These damn sedan bearers should all die!
