Chapter 116: The External Enemy Withdraws and the Internal Fight Rises
It is said that Che Li Buhua won the battle of the Red Turban Army outside Haozhou City last time, and killed nearly 1,000 enemy heads, which is a real feat, and he immediately sent someone to submit the good news to the imperial court. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
At this time, the Yuan Dynasty was in the reign of Emperor Shun, this Emperor Shun was very lustful and obscene, often blasphemous with the ministers, men and women were naked in the same room, the monarchs and ministers did not avoid, and played in a room with bare buttocks, neither the surname level, nor the respect and inferiority. What is good at the top, will be followed by the bottom. Even Emperor Shun's harem concubines are very **** and often sleep together with monks.
Although Cheri Buhua is not a virtuous minister, he is not used to the pickled dirt in the palace, and he once persuaded Emperor Shun to pay attention to his character and rectify the palace. This offended Emperor Shun and his courtiers and concubines, so he was driven out of the capital by Emperor Shun to exterminate the rebels.
As soon as the good news of Cheli Buhua was submitted, some courtiers and concubines slandered in front of Emperor Shun, "Cheli Buhua used the heads of innocent people to risk the military merit of leading the army, and I am afraid that this time it will be the same, he must be afraid that the emperor will blame, so he lied about the military situation to fool the emperor, and he should be punished!"
When Emperor Shun heard this, he was furious, and without giving Cheri a chance to defend himself, he ordered him to immediately remove his armor and return to Beijing to confess his crimes.
Rather than laughing or grieving, he handed over the heads of innocent people and gave them a bounty, and he handed over the heads of the Red Turbans and dismissed them from above. What kind of world is this? Comrade Lao Hua couldn't figure it out, and a glass of dove wine was down.
Cheri did not die, the Yuan army withdrew, and the siege of Haozhou was dispersed.
Without a foreign enemy, the five marshals in Haozhou City began to intrigue dog-eat-dog again. Today you use a trick to tease the yin legs, and tomorrow I will make a move nine yin white bone claws, and the cold knives in the back are endless, piercing the harmonious Haozhou City of the army and the people to a thousand holes.
Last week, the team sent out by Guo Zixing to buy grain was actually robbed by a group of bandits, and according to the captain who escaped death, the weapons in the hands of the bandits were not inferior to them in the slightest, and there were more people than them, so they were defeated.
Guo Zixing was furious at that time, the Yuan army had withdrawn, and there were no other large forces nearby, so it was naturally self-evident who this "bandit" comparable to the army lineup was. Helplessly, he didn't have conclusive evidence in his hand, so he went to the door, Sun Deya and others didn't know about it, and ridiculed him for not even being able to clean up a few bandits.
Guo Zixing was furious, if you do the first year of junior high school, I will do fifteen. He heard that Sun Deya and others were also recruiting troops and horses, and immediately sent an army to snatch the hundreds of good horses that Sun Deya and they bought back to the barracks, and each horse was painted with paint and changed. ”
The horse has not been tamed, how can it communicate with people's hearts, Sun Deya and the others stared at the colorful horses and had nothing to do, and finally left without saying a word with a black face.
Since then, Liangzi has become bigger and bigger, and he often sees people on both sides provoking each other, fighting if they don't agree with each other, and even using knives and guns, killing and injuring countless people, so scared that the people of Haozhou dare not go out.
Ma Xiuying watched coldly, secretly anxious in her heart: as the battle for power and profit heats up, it won't be long before the secret fight will escalate into a bright fight, once the five people completely tear their faces and break the existing stable situation in Haozhou City, Guo Zixing, who is on the side with fewer people, will fall into an unfavorable situation, or even be finished. Zhu Yuanzhang, who followed Guo Zixing, and she naturally didn't want to have any good fruits to eat, so she would never allow this phenomenon to happen, and she must help Guo Zixing resolve all kinds of crises before Zhu Yuanzhang can stand on his own.
Ma Xiuying formulated three plans for Guo Zixing: first, not to clash with all the marshals for the time being, and to hold on to the forces that divide the enemy one by one; second, speed up the training of the army, so that they know themselves and know that the other side can survive a hundred battles; and third, they must not disturb the people at any time and use the people's will to resist Sun Deya.
Guo Zixing happily accepted, but it did not help much to the current situation in Haozhou, because Sun Deya and others had long been in collusion, and unless Guo Zixing was willing to give up the position of generalissimo, a little favor would not impress them at all. They were eyeing each other, approaching step by step, and casually found an excuse to be jealous and openly discounted Guo Tianjue's legs, who were sleeping in a brothel.
Guo Tianxu received the news and immediately led people to kill him, but in the end, the thunder was heavy and the rain was small, and only the brothel was burned down. There is no way, when the soldiers who are several times his size are waiting for him to throw himself into the net, even a pig knows how to avoid it.
At dusk, Guo Zixing turned white overnight, Da Zhang's scolded Liantian, Guo Tianxu hung his head, Guo Tianjue cried wolf, Xiao Zhang's cried to death, and the entire Marshal's Mansion was noisy.
Ma Xiuying laughed at herself, it was really beyond her power to resolve the crisis by herself, and she now hoped that she could have a force in her hands, even if danger came, it could ensure the safety of her and Zhu Yuanzhang. The shadow guard that had been in the works for a long time should be activated, she thought.
The day after the brothel conflict, Ma Xiuying sent Yuan Xing to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to deliver a letter. The letter was addressed to Yao Tianxu and Shen Wansan, in which Ma Xiuying briefly described her marriage and asked them to tell Mu Longsheng and Xun Ying that it was time to bring the shadow guard over. By the way, she also urged Shen Wansan to speed up her earnings, and the more she earned, the more she could share.
Yuan Xing was conflicted, he was not at ease about leaving Ma Xiuying alone, but also longed to see Li Qi'er again.
didn't wait for me, Ma Xiuying urged Yuan Xing to go on the road immediately, "Your sister is now the lady of a hundred households, and there are still two personal soldiers under her command, and with your brother-in-law by her side, I will definitely not let the Guo family bully me at will." ”
Yuan Xing said secretly: I don't feel at ease even if I have my brother-in-law with me.
Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying naturally did not live in the barracks after they got married, the leader of the Red Turban Army had already carved up the Yuanren Mansion, they couldn't find a suitable residence for a while, and the infighting in the city was fierce, just in case, Guo Zixing let the couple temporarily live in the Marshal's Mansion. In this way, Zhu Yuanzhang inevitably had contact with Guo Zixing's daughters, and he often saw Guo Daya and Guo Xiaoya.
The Guo sisters were born when they were young, and when they grew up, they dressed themselves more and more charming. Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't take his eyes off when he saw Guo Daya for the first time, and even regretted that he didn't insist on marrying Guo Daya. Later, every time Zhu Yuanzhang met Guo Daya in the mansion, he couldn't give up, and he had already left his promise to Ma Xiuying behind, and he always had Yuan Xing to urge him again and again before he was willing to move.
In order to avoid Ma Xiuying's sadness, Yuan Xing endured and endured it so that he did not spread Zhu Yuanzhang's lustful behavior. But he was afraid that as soon as he left, no one would supervise and warn Zhu Yuanzhang for Ma Xiuying, what if Zhu Yuanzhang did something that made Ma Xiuying sad?
Yuan Xing was still hesitating, and Ma Xiuying, who didn't know what he was worried about, said with a serious expression: "Now Haozhou is in danger, I need the support of the shadow guard, this letter is very important, I don't feel at ease when I send someone else, I can only feel at ease if you go, and I will say to the outside world that you have something to go back to your hometown to deal with for a few days." In addition, we have not been in contact with Brother Yao and Xiao San for more than two years since we came back from Suzhou, especially when we promised Sister Lu that we would write a letter every six months, but it was delayed because of the siege of the Yuan army. This time, if you bring my news over, they will definitely have a lot of complaints and dissatisfaction, you have to hold on, explain it to them well, but don't rely on our dividends because of this matter. Don't shirk any more, no one but you will be able to accomplish this glorious and difficult task. ”
Yuan Xing wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and dared to ask Ma Xiuying to go to Suzhou, first, to be a punching bag, and second, to collect debts, both of which are thankless, and he is the character who should be worried.
Before leaving, Ma Xiuying and Zhu Yuanzhang went to see them off, Ma Xiuying gave Yuan Xing a few silver tickets, and whispered: "Passing by Quanjiao, remember to go back and see your hometown, although I can't make you rich and glorious, at least I can let you return to your hometown." Believe me, I have never forgotten the promise I made to you, one day you will truly become a great general and a great hero!"
Sister, it's enough to have your heart. Yuan Xing was moved to tears, and his heart was surging. I thought that Ma Xiuying would inevitably ignore herself after getting married, but now I know that she will always be the good sister who values love and righteousness. In return, he pulled Zhu Yuanzhang aside and secretly warned: "Brother-in-law, after I leave, you have to treat your sister well, you are not allowed to peek at other women behind my sister's back, and you are not allowed to drool......"
Zhu Yuanzhang stared at him and refused to admit it, "How can there be?"
"Hmph, last time you pretended to pick up a knife, but peeked at the bottom of Miss Guo's skirt from the back of the knife......"
"You're mistaken, it's all because the knife didn't fall in the right place. ”
"You didn't throw it yet. ”
"Really, why don't I remember?"
"There are too many things you don't remember, you will definitely say that you don't remember that you once slipped out of the barracks to drink flower wine, and you don't remember eye-to-eye with Chen Erniu's daughter-in-law who came to the barracks to visit relatives......
"Be quiet, be quiet, don't let your sister hear me. Zhu Yuanzhang nervously looked at Ma Xiuying, who was standing not far away, and saw that she looked fine, relieved her heart, and said pitifully: "Hey, you also know how fierce your sister is, even if I have that heart, I don't have that guts, at most I have an eye addiction." Don't tell your sister everything. ”
"Then you have to promise to treat your sister well, my sister likes spicy food the most, and she doesn't like sweets......"
"Yes, yes. Why are you more verbose than her mother?"
"Hehe, I'm used to taking care of my sister," Yuan Xing scratched his head embarrassedly, "Although my sister is a few years older than me, she doesn't pay much attention to taking care of herself, plus Mrs. Guo treats her badly, she often eats cold rice and cold stoves, so she has abdominal pain, you have to ......"
"Got it," Zhu Yuanzhang knotted his eyebrows when he heard this, and urged: "Why are you a mother, I will see you continue to nag and the sun will set." ”
"Mom?" Yuan Xing's body trembled, and he galloped away on the horse, forgetting to even say goodbye to Ma Xiuying.
Ma Xiuying looked at the flying dust and wondered, "What's wrong with him?"
Zhu Yuanzhang shrugged, "Maybe I drank too much wine and was in a hurry to find a thatched house." ”
", one of us toasted him with a small glass. ”
"It's not easy for children to hold their pee. ”
