Chapter 21: Bandits Become Generals
Before leaving, Aunt Yu also gave Chunhua a wooden hairpin. The hairpin head is auspicious cloud style, and it is simple and lovely.
"That's what my family does, and it's not worth much, don't dislike it." Aunt Yu said.
"Where can it? This carving is really good. Chunhua took the hairpin and exclaimed.
I went back to the store. Just in time, a few big locks were delivered.
In the days when Aunt Cao didn't come, she had to rely on a few big locks.
Three big locks, each weighing a pound.
"Uncle, don't be expensive in terms of weight. Beware of thieves. Chunhua said to the locksmith who sent the lock.
"It can be prevented, it can be prevented. You used to have a lock that you could pry open with a small wire. It's long overdue. I can't pry open this lock, and I can't break it, so don't worry. The locksmith said.
"I believe you. It's just that if this lock is picked open, I'll have to settle accounts with you. "Spring Flower Road.
The locksmith patted his chest: "If you have something, you can look for me." ”
"Then thank you, uncle." Chunhua smiled, turned her head and instructed Erya, "Erya, settle the rest of the money with uncle." ”
"Don't give it yet." The locksmith said, "I'll give it to you again." I want to buy a good cloth for my mother-in-law, and then let the tailor make a good dress for me. ”
"You're so nice to your aunt." Chunhua was surprised.
"She followed me and lived a hard life all her life. A few days ago, I found out that the clothes she wore when she got married have been mended and worn to this day. ”
"If my aunt marries you, even if it's a hard day, it's sweet." Chunhua picked out a few pieces of muslin with a steady color, "Look at it, which one is good?" ”
The locksmith squinted: "Are there any brighter colors?" ”
"Okay. Look at these horses. "Spring flowers picked jujube red, lake green, turmeric.
"That's it." The locksmith pointed to the green one of the lake, "My mother-in-law has praised people for wearing this color." ”
"Good. I'll give you three feet, and it's enough to make a coat. Chunhua said.
The locksmith nodded: "Okay, then how much is this cloth?" ”
"It's just right. I'm still missing you. Chunhua cut and wrapped the cloth and counted five copper coins, "You count." ”
The locksmith took the cloth and the copper coin: "Thank you, girl." ”
The price is cheap, but there is also a profit, and you can't lose money because of a moment of soft-heartedness. There are so many poor people in this world, and there are so many moving things, and Chunhua can't help them.
…………………………
The sun is not yet at its most poisonous and intense.
But the soldiers couldn't take it anymore. One by one, they were sweating, and most of them were old and weak, and in the morning, there were more than a dozen people who were carried down.
Dongdong is easy. But she couldn't feel at ease.
Although when she dressed as a man and joined the army, she knew that she might die.
However, it may not be the same as it must be. Look at this soldier's Su zhì, he can faint from even standing for a while, I'm afraid he won't even be able to hold guns, broadswords and other weapons for a long time.
Of course, such a good weapon cannot be obtained by these recruits.
The atmosphere of the entire boot camp was silent and hopeless, no flesh at all, no passion.
"Alas, I heard that the bandits on the mountain use the white tiger as a mount, and we don't even have horses." The new recruit who spoke was called Ding Yi, and he had a good relationship with Dongdong. He was only fourteen years old.
Ding Yi is from Shiqiao Town, Ping County, where the young and middle-aged are basically gone, and the town is lifeless. Finally, this generation is going to become adults, and the county magistrate of Pingxian County has brought these boys to serve as soldiers in order to look good.
"I've heard too many storytellers. Also the white tiger! Da Liu patted Ding Yi on the head.
Da Liu said that the children in the family were about the same age as Ding Yi, and often asked Ding Yi to call his father, but Ding Yi refused. Da Liu kept teasing him.
"But I can hear that. Before us, there were armies that fought bandits in Hulu Mountain. Da Liu said, "Do you know what happened in the end?" ”
"What's wrong?" Ding Yi asked curiously.
"Call me Daddy, and I'll sue you." Da Liu Dao.
Ding Yi gave a roll of his eyes angrily, got up and was about to leave.
Da Liu didn't care about him, and continued to say to the soldiers gathered around: "That army is led by General Yu, there are 2,000 people!" ”
"Later, there was a traitor in this army, and General Yu was killed by his men. More than 500 people became bandits. ”
"Huh?" There was an exclamation among the people around him, "General Yu, I know, it's the general who repelled the Hu people." I heard that he was very powerful, and he died like this? ”
Some people are worried about their own situation: "The people led by General Yu have all seen blood and have experienced a hundred battles. Our group of recruits, what to fight. Surrender as soon as possible. ”
"Don't say anything discouraged." Dongdong lowered his voice, "You won't let us die." ”
Silence around. How could it not.
"Alright, alright. Let's all go back to sleep, or we'll have to fall down again tomorrow for drills. Da Liu said.
The talent is gradually dispersed.
A few more days passed. I don't know if it was decided by the top or what. Things are really as Dongdong said. They don't have to go to death.
The people of Hulu Mountain surrendered.
The king of the mountain gave him a hussar general, and the bandits under him were all incorporated into sergeants.
I've never heard that a bandit can be a general.
Some people say that the Son of Heaven is generous, and some people say that the Son of Heaven is mediocre. Of course, no one dares to say the latter sentence on the surface.
"The one up there is already a mediocrity like this?!" Many people have dropped things, what is this called, they are desperate and hardworking, and they are not as high as a bandit.
"He wants to use the people of Hulu Mountain to contain us."
Zhong Guoxiong is a veteran of the two dynasties. He originally accompanied the first emperor to fight the world, and helped the current Son of Heaven ascend to the throne. Such a high-ranking and powerful person is naturally feared by the Son of Heaven.
Zhong Guoxiong invited himself to return to his hometown, but he did not dispel the doubts of the Son of Heaven.
"Heh, he thinks that being a general can make the people of Hulushan grateful to Dade and obey him from now on?"
"Not necessarily." Zhong Guoxiong sighed deeply, "Li Quan has been killed by the people of Hulu Mountain, and we don't know who is in power in Hulu Mountain now." ”
"I'm afraid there are more than two thousand people in Hulushan. Anything else is okay, Yu Renli's subordinates are all powerful characters, and those people who fled up the mountain will not be bad under their training. This knife doesn't look sharp, but if we are given a knife at a critical time, we can't prevent it. ”
Zhong Quande, Zhong Guoxiong's eldest son, received an idle position in the imperial court.
"Father, why don't you stop it?" Zhong Quande asked.
"Block? That's what the guy up there was waiting for. I can't have a handle on him now...... We'll have to wait. Zhong Guoxiong said.
His body is not bad, and he can sit on the elders of the Three Dynasties.
