Duan Feihong was also very happy to see a few people coming, and said, "Several of them are very busy people, how can they have time to come to my daughter's village?" Liu Tichun said: "Now that the army under the mountain is reorganized, we have lost the army, so we have to come to Mrs. to enjoy food." Duan Feihong was shocked: "Who is so powerful that you have lost your army?" ”

Zhu Dashan saw that this joke was a bit big, and hurriedly said: "This is a joke of the Duke of Anhui, who dares to let a few Duke of Guo lose the army, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the Qing Dynasty can't do it at the beginning." Duan Feihong agreed: "Yes, there were hundreds of thousands of Qing soldiers at the beginning, by the way, which family are you a descendant, why haven't I seen you before?" Zhu Dashan hurriedly said: "I am a descendant of the Zhu family, and I have never seen General Duan before." The first time I saw it today, it was really a woman who didn't let her eyebrows go, and she was arrogant, and she felt a burst of heroism from afar. "Zhu Dashan didn't dare to offend his future wife's master, so he didn't want money to shoot this sycophant.

Li Xiao was even more angry when he saw Zhu Dashan like this, he didn't have any manliness at all, and he was left with a flamboyant tongue. Yin and Yang said strangely: "Yo, my master is still alive and well, why is it so yin?" Zhu Dashan was startled and said: "I'm talking about the hero's Ying, not what you said." Duan Feihong thought for a while and said, "The Zhu family, that Zhu family, when did this Kuidong come to the general surnamed Zhu?" Li Laiheng ignored Li Xiao and Zhu Dashan, and introduced: "It's not a general, it's Baoning's Pingyuhou, this is Baoning's Pingyu Zhu Youdong, and he is also a descendant of the Ming Xiangwang lineage." ”

Duan Feihong followed her husband Wang Jincai before that was anti-Ming, although her husband surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, but for the Ming Dynasty's clan image, except for the fish and meat people, they were rampant and domineering, and there were only pigs left in captivity, so when they heard that Zhu Dashan was the Daming clan, they didn't give Zhu Dashan a good face, and said: "Why do you find another clan, you have raised a Han King Zhu Benjun, and a Dong'an King Zhu Shenglang is not enough?" What kind of king Xiang are you going to find here, why do you want to set up a new king again? Are you afraid that the world is not chaotic enough? Li Xiao found a helper and said, "That's it, I don't know if this sect is real?" looks like a wreck, and you know how to blow the atmosphere and eat and drink. ”

Li Laiheng glared at his daughter, and then said, "Look at what Madame said, what kind of new monarch are we going to set up, who of us can govern the country?" Besides, what's the use of setting up emperors in such a place now? Duan Feihong brought Li Laiheng and others into the cottage, asked everyone to sit down and said, "Then what are you doing in the daughter's village?" It's not really here to fight the autumn breeze, let's eat mixed rice. After speaking, he looked curiously at Li Laiheng and the others sitting at the bottom of Zhu Dashan, and asked suspiciously: "This, is it true?" ”

Li Xiao saw that Zhu Dashan was sitting in the first place, while his father and several other uncles and uncles were sitting in the bottom. went up and pulled Zhu Dashan and said, "Do you understand the rules, do you have your seat here?" Dare to do it in the first place. Li Laiheng hurriedly stopped Li Xiao, and then said to Duan Feihong: "There is no doubt that he is from the clan, and we came to the daughter village today mainly to find Mrs. Pingyu." ”

Li Xiao didn't understand why his father stopped him at first, and then he heard that today's incident was actually Zhu Dashan's initiative, and he immediately looked at Zhu Dashan in disbelief. Duan Feihong, who was sitting on the main seat, also said to Zhu Dashan in surprise: "Oh, I don't know what Ping Yuhou is looking for me?" Zhu Dashan said sincerely: "Now that all the departments in Kuidong have been reorganized, the kid wants to ask his wife to go down the mountain to reorganize together." ”

As soon as Zhu Dashan finished speaking, Duan Feihong smiled and said, "Ping Yuhou is here to recruit my thousands of people." Zhu Dashan corrected: "Madame is wrong, it's not co-optation, it's reorganization, we just want to resist the Qing Dynasty and facilitate the command of the anti-Qing Dynasty, so we reorganized all the families and horses together." Duan Feihong waved his hand and said, "Whether I am reorganized or co-opted, what if I don't agree?" ”

Zhu Dashan said: "If Madame doesn't agree, of course we don't force it, but Madame doesn't want to hear about our resettlement method and find a home for these women and children on the mountain?" Do you want to find a way out for the people on the mountain? Maybe it's better to go down the mountain. Li smiled and said, "Okay, you go down the mountain, we don't need it, it's good to live on this mountain." Li Laiheng smiled at Li and said, "Don't talk yet, your master has his own decision." Li Xiao saw Li Laiheng helping Zhu Dashan speak, and stood behind Li Laiheng angrily.

Duan Feihong said: "Yes, we are very good on the mountain, you can go down the mountain." Liu Tichun said anxiously: "Why is Madam so stubborn? Life on the mountain is difficult, and now Ping Yuhou wants everyone to go to Baoning, if not, soon after Ping Yuhou is about to attack Chengdu Mansion, and then there will be good fields on the Chengdu Mansion side. Duan Feihong just didn't agree: "Don't say it, the Qing army also surrounded the mountains before, and we can still survive, what are you afraid of, we haven't had a hard time." ”

Zhu Dashan said: "Yes, in the past, the Qing army was surrounded by the mountains, but at that time, there were Kuidong families nearby, and there were Yunnan, Guangxi, and Fujian and other places that dragged a large number of Qing soldiers, so the Qing soldiers could not attack with all their strength, but now the war in Yunnan has been repeatedly defeated, and Fujian is far away, and then it will not be as small as before." Not to mention the Qing army, if I want to deal with my wife now, I'm afraid my wife won't be able to do it in a few days. Duan Feihong smiled and said, "Oh, then tell me how you sent troops up the mountain to deal with me?" ”

Zhu Dashan said: "I don't send troops to the mountain at all, the land near the daughter village can't feed the people in the village at all, all rely on the forty boats of the daughter village to go to the Daning salt field to sell salt to Zhushan, Zhuxi, and even to Ankang and other places in Shaanxi Province in exchange for food, I just need to send troops to guard the salt field, and then set up checkpoints on the main roads out of Daning to prevent salt from flowing out of Daning." I'm afraid that the food in exchange for the salt that Mrs. transported out on the small road can't support the daily consumption of the cottage. After listening to Zhu Dashan's words, Duan Feihong's face turned pale, and he stood up angrily and said, "You, the Ming clan is really ruthless and poisonous. ”

Zhu Dashan said: "It's not that I'm vicious, it's a way to be kind and not to be in charge of soldiers." Besides, why didn't Madame listen to what I had prepared for Madame and the people in the cottage after I went down the mountain? Duan Feihong was obviously still angry, and said, "What can you prepare for us, what good can you do when you get out of prison." Hao Yongzhong also said: "Madam, just listen to it, don't worry, Ping Yuhou will not treat the cottage badly." ”

Although Duan Feihong had not completely dissipated, he did not object. Zhu Dashan said: "The strong men in the cottage are willing to join the army. Duan Feihong said: "There are no men in my cottage. Zhu Dashan's face turned red and said: "If you are willing to go home and farm, we will send you the best field to plant." But I hope that Mrs. can take the people from her daughter village to Boryeong, our army does not have a unified military uniform now, I hope that Mrs. can take the people from her daughter village to help us make military uniforms, of course, we use money and food to buy. In this way, everyone will also have a stable source of money and food after going down the mountain. ”

Yuan Zongdi said: "Madam, this is a good thing, if there was a stable amount of money and food back then, where would we rebel and cause such a big trouble now." After speaking, he was quite emotional. Hao Yongzhong also said: "Yes, for a bite to eat, I have been making trouble for decades. Zhu Dashan said: "I also intend to organize women to build a hospital in Boryeong, because they are more careful, and when the time comes, our wounded soldiers on the battlefield will not lose their lives because of untimely treatment." Li Laiheng said: "This is also a great good thing. I'm afraid that the daughter village can do this, and they also have experience in treatment. ”

Seeing that everyone said yes, Duan Feihong also wavered and said: "It's not that you can't go down the mountain like this, but how can Ping Yuhou promise not to regret it?" Zhu Dashan spread his hands and said: "There is no way to guarantee" Duan Feihong said: "Then you are not a white wolf with empty gloves?" Zhu Dashan said: "To be honest, I can't even guarantee myself in the current anti-Qing situation, how can I guarantee my wife?" But what I can guarantee is that as long as I Zhu.... You Dong is still alive for a day, and he will protect everyone in his daughter's village for a day. "Zhu Dashankou almost said that he was Zhu Dashan, if that was the case, it would take a lot of speech.

At this time, Li Laiheng, Yuan Zongdi and others also assured that they would definitely protect the people in the daughter village. Seeing this, Duan Feihong had no choice but to say: "Since the generals of the family are so concerned about their daughter's village, then let's go down the mountain, otherwise we can only wait for death on the mountain as soon as the mountain road and waterway are blocked." Zhu Dashan saw that Duan Feihong finally agreed to go down the mountain, and said with great joy: "Madame understands righteousness, that is, the kid, how dare you really do that." Liu Tichun laughed and said: "If he really dared to do that, someone would have skinned him a long time ago." ”

Duan Feihong said curiously: "I see that a few people are sitting under him, obviously they have been reorganized with his army, and there are still people with such great ability in Kuidong?" Who is it, I have to make a good friend, so as not to suffer a loss and dare not tell. Hao Yongzhong coaxed: "Madam, you don't have to find someone, and he doesn't dare to bully you." Duan Feihong asked even more strangely, "Where does this start?" ”

As soon as Li Xiao saw Hao Yongzhong looking at him, he knew that he was going to say something about his marriage, so he ran out directly in shame, and shouted: "Uncle Hao, you bully me, I'll go to Fang County to find Aunt Zhang Ruilian to reason." "This Zhang Ruilian is Hao Yongzhong's wife, Chongzhen ten years, Li Zicheng in Tongguan Nanyuan fell into the Ming army surrounded, the pioneer Hao Yongzhong to protect Li Zicheng to break through, in order not to let the family drag down, he planned to kill his wife, this Zhang Ruilian took care of the overall situation, regarded death as home, and decided to fulfill her husband. Fortunately, at this time, Li Zicheng escaped from Wang Jiazhen, the prime minister of the five provinces, and Zhang Ruilian escaped, and since then he has been fighting with Hao Yongzhong in Kuidong and Xunxi.

Hao Yongzhong saw Li Xiao running out and said, "Ping Yuhou has already asked Linguo Gong to marry Xiaoxiao's niece." Duan Feihong suddenly realized: "There is such a thing, then I want to congratulate the Duke of Linguo." Laugh at her...."Duan Feihong suddenly thought about Li Laiheng and said, "You.... But this Li and Zhu are two families. ”

Zhu Dashan said: "If it overturns today, Shenzhou will sink." Our generation should be the first to drive out the Tartars. No matter how big the family feud is, it can't compare to the national hatred, and what can personal grievances count in the face of national danger? Duan Feihong glanced at Zhu Dashan and said, "I'm just a woman, and I don't know what kind of family and nationality I have." With that, he got up and went into the backyard. Li Laiheng couldn't get used to Zhu Dashan's set, and said to Liu Tichun: "Feihu, let's go out for a walk, we haven't been relaxed for a few days." Liu Tichun said busily: "Yes, I have been sitting in this room for a long time, and I feel a little stuffy." Even Hao Yongzhong said: "In these days of horseback riding, my body is not as good as you young people, I have to go for a walk." For a while, the people in the house were clean, and Zhu Dashan was stunned there alone, and found that there was an old woman behind the chair, and said busily: "The old lady still understands the righteousness." The old woman rolled her eyes and said, "Master Hou, I'm waiting to collect the tea set." ”

Zhu Dashan was suddenly embarrassed, and happened to see Yuan Zongdi, who didn't speak, walking to the door, and hurriedly said: "Wan Guogong walks slowly, I just have an idea I want to talk to Guogong." With that, he followed Yuan Zong out of the lobby first.

Li Laiheng and the others didn't really isolate Zhu Dashan, they just joked with each other. Everyone rested in the daughter village for one night, made an appointment with Duan Feihong about the time of going down the mountain and the details of the placement, and hurried to Dachang the next day. Because Zhu Dashan and others received the news of Zheng Chenggong's defeat in Nanjing, after Zhu Dashan heard the news, he regretted that he had not established an intelligence system earlier, if he could have known earlier that Zheng Chenggong was going to attack Nanjing, he would have to go east to Huguang even if he lost Baoning, and cooperate with Zheng Chenggong to cut the Qing Dynasty into two sections along the Yangtze River. Then, taking advantage of the fact that the Qing court troops entered the southwest and east into Nanjing, they seized Huguang and Nanzhili together, and then cooperated with Kuidong to block the retreat of the Qing army in the southwest. In this way, the Qing army in the southwest will be cut off directly, and the Qing army in the southwest will have different information from Beijing, and it will be much easier to fight against the Qing.

Li Laiheng, Yuan Zongdi and others also regretted that they did not complete the reorganization as soon as possible, so that they missed the opportunity. But it's useless to regret it now, Zhu Dashan and the others just want to rush to Dachang as soon as possible to see if they can try to save something under the current situation.

Zhu Dashan and others rushed to Dachang with flying horses, and it took only one day to arrive in Dachang. As soon as he entered the barracks, he saw two literati pointing next to the school grounds, Zhu Dashan saw it, and immediately became angry, and saw that it was the camp of Wu Erchang, the first-character garrison camp under Wu Zhiqi. At this time, Yuan Zongdi also found out, and when he saw that it was his subordinates, his face turned blue with anger. yelled at the pro-soldiers: "Go, Wu Zhiqi and Wu Erchang, two bastards, call in." "Seeing that the main general was angry, and that there were no unrelated people pointing outside the barracks, it was also a violation of military discipline to look around, so they hurriedly ran to call someone.

Zhu Dashan saw that Yuan Zongdi's face was not good-looking, so he hurriedly said: "Duke of Wanguo, don't be angry first, ask about the situation first." So saying, he asked his soldiers to call the two literati over.

Zhang Huangyan heard Wang Xi sigh that the soldiers didn't know who their main general was. He said: "This can prevent generals from taking the army into their own private army." If this can only be done—" Zhang Huangyan was about to say how to let the soldiers know his commander's method, when he heard the sound of horses' hooves galloping outside the camp. From time to time, a group of people were seen riding into the barracks.

As soon as these people entered the barracks, they saw Zhang Huangyan and Wang Xi, one of whom seemed to be a general, and he was very angry and wanted to find the officers in the barracks. There was a person next to him who persuaded him a few more words, and then asked people to come to Zhang Huangyan and Wang Xi.
