It was already bright, but the sky was cloudy, and the sunlight could not penetrate the clouds, so it was a cloudy day.

It stands to reason that it's a good weather, not sun. This is especially true for rogue captives.

From last night to now, they have been concentrated on the flat land near the Yellow River. If there is sun, it will definitely be choked by the sun.

However, these rogue captives were all sad, and they were not happy because of a little gift from God.

Most of the thieves were captured and either sat on the ground or simply lay down. But there is one thing in common, that is, they are all looking in one direction, and the sound of "grunting" is heard one after another.

In the direction they could see, it was the camp of the imperial court officers and soldiers. The aroma of cooked rice and horse meat wafting through the air is really appealing.

And these thieves and captives have not eaten since they received the military order yesterday to start a rapid march. After becoming a captive, don't say that they can't take care of it, even if they have spare energy, the court officials and soldiers will not give them food, so they will be starved and have no strength, and it will be much easier to watch the prisoner.

When they saw the Huotou army carrying the cauldron to the camps, and the officials and soldiers of the imperial court gathered around to eat and drink, many people swallowed their saliva. The swallowing sound of "coo-dong-coo-dong" sounded from time to time.

It was too tempting, and there was nothing to do, so some people whispered about it.

"Doesn't it mean that in the court officials and army, only the food of those families is good? How do I look at it, it seems that they are all the same, rice, with meat, tsk! ”

"Yes, when I used to be an official of the imperial court, I drank thin. Only before going into battle can you have a dry meal! ”

"It can't be that they won a big battle, so those court officials will reward them, right?"

“……”

When the soldiers of the imperial court who were guarding them nearby heard this, they sneered and said, "Lonely and unheard, you don't want to see who our commander is?" Let me tell you, all of us not only have a dry meal, but also have a military salary, all in a down-to-earth manner, without half a penny! ”

"What, everybody eats dry meals at once, how is this possible?"

"That's it, liar! How is it possible for everyone to eat dry rice! ”

"Hehe, military salary, it's really down-to-earth, this sun is coming out of the west, can the court be so kind? The generals won't agree either! ”

“……”

When some of the thieves heard this, they subconsciously refuted it, and they didn't believe it at all. Because most of these prisoners used to be from military families, and they used to be from the official army.

Some of the thieves came back to their senses after being dumbfounded, and immediately inquired curiously.

"yes, who's your manager? Zhang's surname, I don't know which adult? ”

"Whether it's that adult, I've never heard of anyone who doesn't deduct military salaries!"

“……”

When the court officials and soldiers who were guarding them heard this, they were all very proud, and immediately replied to them: "Let me tell you, our commander is the prince of the country, right?" How can he be compared with an ordinary official! ”

"That is, since Guogong served as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, he has strictly investigated corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and I don't know how many have been arrested! As far as I know, all the military salaries owed by the imperial court have been made up. And in the future, the full amount of military pay will be paid on time. If you find that there is a situation of arrears of salary, or if you deduct military salaries, you can also go to the Jinyi Guard Yamen to complain! ”

“……”

Listening to them, the rogue captives were suddenly a little dumbfounded.

It's a bit unbelievable, but it sounds like it's real, and it's a bit unbelievable!

When they came to their senses, they were curious.

"Who is this Guogong, so powerful?"

"Yes, where did this money come from, when did the imperial court have so much money?"

"Ah, if I had such a good official at that time, I would have made a fart!"

“……”

The officials and soldiers of the imperial court who were guarding them were bored anyway, and when they heard their questions, they told them about the matter of Xingguo Gong.

Not to mention, after hearing someone tell me, everyone listened with their ears pricked up.

Perhaps the rise of Xingguo Gong is a treasure for the people of Beijing. However, the communication and transportation in this era were very backward, and most people in Gyeonggi would know better, and no matter how far away, only some dignitaries could understand it. Not to mention, it's the thieves' side.

Therefore, when they heard the deeds of Xingguo Gong, they were stunned one by one as if they were listening to a legendary story.

In order to help the refugees in Beijing, he not only donated all his family wealth, but also made an announcement that he dared to challenge the magnates of the whole Beijing Division, threatening them to return their lives and reunite the refugees.

took over the Jinyi Guard's yamen and swept away all the outlaws in the Jinyi Guard. The intensity is unheard of.

There are also the eunuchs of the original celebrant and the palm seal, the eunuch of the imperial horse supervisor, the first assistant, the prince of Chengguo, etc., all of whom have fallen because of the prince of Xingguo.

Not to mention, Guogong also found out the eight major Jin merchants, and even caught Jianyu red-handed. It was they who ate inside and out, and harmed the Ming Dynasty.

There is also a very high level of knowledge of the Duke of Guo, and he has learned from things, and he got two secret recipes like cornulars, but in the end he donated them to the imperial court. One of them, called cement, is open to the whole world.

Speaking of this, the official of the imperial court who spoke asked proudly, "Do you know why the National Guild announced this cement secret recipe?" ”

"Why?" When the thief captives heard this, they all asked curiously.

"Let me tell you, because this cement is a great tool for building water conservancy, Guogong donated this secret recipe just to let the people of the world suffer less from drought and flood, understand?"

When the thieves and captives heard this, their faces all showed respect.

In this world, clean officials are rare, and good officials are even rarer, no matter who they are, they all respect clean officials and good officials.

The same is true, as can be seen from some records, in some places, after the thieves are defeated, they either invite local officials to join in every possible way, or they are persuaded with good words, and even let them go.

The thieves and captives also wanted to inquire about the affairs of Xingguo Gong, but at this time, the officers and soldiers who were guarding them changed their guards.

Enduring hunger, or rather, to distract himself, of course, it is more likely that this gossip of Xingguo Gong is too big. Therefore, the thieves and captives began to talk in low voices.

In this way, one to ten, ten to hundred, it didn't take long for the nearly 40,000 thieves and prisoners to know more or less, and now the commander of the official army is the legendary story of the prince of Xingguo.

In this regard, they enviously did not do it one by one.

"If I had such a time to rejuvenate the country, I would definitely not rebel."

"Yes, I was so hungry that I couldn't live. If you look at them, now not only do they have a dry meal, but they also have military salaries to receive, which is really an incredible thing. ”

“……”

Listening to their envious discussion, a few of the rogue's captives poured cold water.

"Wake up, stop daydreaming! We are anti-thieves, not officers and soldiers! ”

"There's also a dry meal, maybe we'll have a broken meal. No, I don't even have to eat a severed head, and I'm starving to death! ”

"That is, I don't know what the imperial court will do with us, maybe we all rush into the Yellow River, and we will be all gone. Maybe they'll bury us alive! ”

“……”

As soon as they said this, the thieves and captives came back to their senses, realized their identities, and their current situation, and suddenly, they were all dumbfounded, and their faces were very ugly.

One of the officials and soldiers of the imperial court who had already changed their guards saw them like this, and he didn't know if he couldn't bear it, so he opened his mouth and said to them: "Don't talk nonsense, Guogong is a good person, and he will never kill people casually." ”

"How do you know? It's not like the imperial court hasn't killed prisoners before! ”

"Yes, I heard that many of them pretended to be recruited, and then after Zhao'an passed, they were killed in batches!"

"No, I've heard that a lot."

“……”

Hearing the pessimistic statements of these thieves captives, the court soldier who spoke couldn't help but sneer, and after letting them talk enough, he said to them: "King Chuang is determined to rebel and want to be the emperor, so he will tell you this, so that you will give up the mind of recruiting an and die for him!" ”

"Nonsense, don't slander the general!"

"That is, you are an official of the imperial court, of course you are helping the imperial court to speak."

“……”

When the imperial court soldier heard this, he sneered a few times, then pointed to his comrades beside him, and then said to these thief captives: "We people used to be from Xiao Yuan's camp. We are just a dry meal now, and we can pay the army on time, I will lie to you? ”

As soon as they heard this, the thieves and captives were immediately dumbfounded: These court officials and soldiers in military uniforms in front of them used to be from Xiao Yuan's camp?

You must know that before, Xiao Yuanying was still a member of the thief team, and he went south at odds with King Chuang, and then went north, and then, they didn't know.

At this time, these court officials and soldiers blew up their identities and said that they were from Xiao Yuanying, which really surprised them!

At first, the thieves and captives were surprised, and they couldn't believe it, thinking that it was impossible!

However, one of the thieves and captives suddenly recognized a court official and said, "You are an old horse, right?" Dressed so beautifully, I didn't even recognize it at all! ”

When the court officials heard this, they turned their heads to look, but they recognized it at once, and immediately said: "Ma Zhugan, it turned out to be you!" ”

The horse bamboo pole nodded hurriedly, and then excitedly introduced to the companions around him: "That's right, they are from Xiao Yuanying, I know, fellow, fellow!" ”

After finishing speaking, he hurriedly said to the court officials and soldiers with a look of anticipation: "Old Ma, please, will you bring your brother?" I want to be recruited too! ”

As soon as they heard that it was really Xiao Yuanying, everyone else was also overjoyed, and they all echoed it, wanting to hold the opportunity to have acquaintances and see if they could be recruited.

Anyway, after recruiting An, it's better than being a captive who doesn't know life and death, right?

When the court officials and soldiers heard this, they shook their heads and said: "You are prisoners, we were taken by the eldest brother to accept Zhao'an, this is different!" ”
