After receiving the surrender, the Dingyuan army was familiar with the road.

When the defenders of Tucheng went out of the city, they lost their weapons and squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands, and the officials in the city held the seal letter, and the account books of the treasury and the population book.

"How can these dog officials have a little ambition?"

Zhu Wu and his subordinates rode on horses, Zhu Wu's expression could not see joy and anger, but the two tigers were disdainful.

"What, isn't it good to surrender, you have to die a bunch of people?" Zhu Wu said with a smile.

Erhu scratched his head, "I didn't mean that, I just thought that there were five or six ordinary people in this group of officials." Don't all scholars talk about loyalty and patriotism? Why didn't our knives light up, they coaxed! ”

Zhu Wu sneered, "Every time you slaughter more dogs, you have always been a scholar." These people are more hairless than monkeys, and the dilapidated house of the Great Yuan Dynasty is about to collapse, so they don't want to be stoned to death, only innocent people are stoned to death. ”

Erhu's eyes blinked, he couldn't understand this.

For scholars who are officials, Zhu Wu has always been very conflicted. Although he didn't know much about history, he knew that these people were unreliable.

Those famous traitors in history, who is not a scholar? Ordinary people want to be it, but they are not qualified yet.

For example, Wang Jingwei, Qin Hui, who led the knife into a fast, and what Jia Nidao and so on.

The teacher in history class said that before Chongzhen hanged himself, he rang the bell to summon hundreds of officials, but none of them came.

There are also those talented people who regard themselves as the first in the world and scare the emperor in the sky, and they talk about orthodoxy and righteousness every day, but as soon as the Eight Banners Iron Horse came, they knelt outside the city to greet them. can't wait to shave his head and become an official, without any psychological barriers.

But on the other hand, he has a lot of respect for scholars.

Whenever this country is at a critical juncture of life and death, there are always some people who stand up. For the righteousness, for the integrity of the Han family, for the country and the people, for the common people, for the inheritance of blood, for the continuation of culture.

Yan Zhenqing, Lu Xiufu, Shi Kefa, and countless scholars who died in the city, whose names dissipated in history and are not remembered by future generations.

This country, this race has been able to last for thousands of years, and these people have contributed a lot, and they have also shed many treasures of humanity.

It's just that, after all, it's a minority. Most of the scholars are full of words, and the doctrine of the sages they learn is just a trick to become an official.

Books are good books, and people are not necessarily good people. Therefore, it is difficult to describe the combined readers.

However, no matter who wins the world, they can't do without these people.

"Lord!"

Zhu Wu was thinking about it in a hurry in his head, and there was a cry behind him.

It was Li Shanchang, the battle was dangerous, he had been on the building ship of the navy, and when he heard that Dangtu had surrendered, he hurriedly got off the boat and hurried over.

"Lord~~"

Li Shanchang is not good at riding horses, and the fast horse is exhausted and out of breath by this point.

Zhu Wu smiled, "What's the matter that you're in a hurry like this, say it slowly if you have something to say!" ”

"When Li Xi, the prefect of Tu, is an upright official and quite popular, the lord should treat him with courtesy!" Li Shanchang took a breath and said, "Although Dangtu is only across the river from Haozhou, this is the land south of the Yangtze River, with the most prosperous literary style and many scholars. The lord wants to lose the southeast half of the wall, and he needs to be kind to it! ”

"What a bird, I have a knife~~"

The second half of Erhu's sentence made Zhu Wu stare back into his stomach, not daring to say more.

"Listen to you!" Zhu Wu smiled and said to Li Shanchang, "Although I don't have any ink in my stomach, I also know that it is easy to fight, but it is difficult to do steadily." Let's set the grass platform team of the Yuan Army, small fights and small troubles, but big things can't be done! ”

Li Shan couldn't help but nod, "The lord has a big heart, why worry about big things!" ”

At this time, when the defenders of Tucheng surrendered, the gate of the city was opened, and the city officials, under the leadership of the prefect, slowly came out.

At the head of the city, Tao An, Wang Guangyang and other scholars silently looked at the city, the Dingyuan army was vast and disciplined, and they all stood in place without the commander's order.

"Strong army!" Tao An sighed.

Wang Guangyang looked at the city and personally helped Zhu Wu, who was the prefect and others, his eyes lit up.

"This person, Haojie also!" Wang Guangyang said, "I am waiting to read the history books, the thief armies of all dynasties and dynasties love to break cities, kill and plunder, and then coerce the people. The thief will not treat the officials well and give preferential treatment to the scholars. ”

said, pointing to Zhu Wu under the city, "But look at this person, who is only twenty years old, he is against the actions of the heroes, treats the officials and the people well, and has the posture of a master, and the future is unlimited." ”

Tao An smiled bitterly, "Chaozong has moved his mind? ”

"This big yuan is rotten. The world is rising together, and we scholars must also think of a way out! ”

At the moment when he was speaking in the city, Zhu Wu's army had already marched towards the city.

The soldiers were in a vertical formation, looking left and right, and the formation was clear, and they were stunned and shocked in their hearts.

Fortunately, it fell, otherwise such an army of tigers and wolves would not be able to stop it for half a day.

In the end, it is a prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River, and Dangtu is more prosperous than the city in Huaixi. Zhu Wu looked along the street, and the demote on his side couldn't help but secretly observe his expression.

"Chief Manager Zhu, please enter the state government for placement." Governor Li Xi said cautiously, "The family of the lower official has moved out. ”

"I live in a barracks, and I can't get used to living in such a nice place!" Zhu Wu smiled, "Governor Li, I heard that you are a good official!" ”

"Don't dare to be a subordinate official, it's just a solid job!"

Li Xi's heart is a little more stable, this young manager is not greedy for enjoyment, and his subordinates will definitely not harm the people.

Zhu Wu smiled again, "It's a good solid job, if the officials of Dayuan are like Li Zhifu, the world will be like this." This prefect, you continue to be in front of it! ”

"This~~?" Li Xi was at a loss for a moment.

"I used to be a beggar for food, but first there were natural disasters, either drought or flood, and then the plague was rampant. The government not only did not ask, but continued to collect grain and ask for money. I have a good family, forcing my family to be ruined and my relatives to die tragically! ”

I heard Zhu Wu sigh and continued, "There is no way for us people to rebel with knives, you are a scholar, you should know the truth that the officials force the people to rebel, and the people have to rebel."

But I, Zhu Wu, are different from others, others live for themselves, regardless of whether they live or die.

On the contrary, I want to let more poor people in the world who have been forced by the government to have no good life like me can live a good life.

From today onwards, all the excesses and miscellaneous taxes of Dangcheng Mengyuan will be abolished. ”

As he spoke, seeing that Li Xi was stunned and didn't react, he laughed, "What? Governor Li is unwilling to work for me, an anti-thief? ”

"The lower officials don't dare!"

Li Xi was just shocked by Zhu Wu's words, the poor people in the world! This Mr. Zhu is only twenty years old, and he is already thinking about the world!

I wanted to speak again, but I saw that Mr. Zhu had already gone away.

"Lao Li!"

Zhu Wu approached Li Shanchang and whispered, "Is the treasury sufficient?" ”

Li Shanchang had already read the account book and said with a smile, "One dangtu is worth two Hezhou, and it is worthy of being the land of fish and rice!" ”

Zhu Wu smiled, and then said, "It's not enough to rely on the government alone, I promised the brothers to reward the three armies~~~"

"What does the lord mean?"

"Call all the great families of the city." Zhu Wu smiled, "I can't let me pay this money alone, Lao Tzu rewarded the three armies, not to prevent the soldiers from robbing them, for their good, you have to let them know." Their family's property and their daughter's concubine can be kept, all thanks to me, let them pay some protection money, it's not too much! ”

Li Shanchang was brushing his beard and listening, and when Zhu Wu said the end, his hand shook, and he tore off a few more locks of his beard.

～～～～

"It's up!"

Under the city of Anfeng, thousands of people cheered.

Zhu Chongba nervously looked at the cloud ladder at the head of the city, a figure holding a shield, opened a bow and arrow, and jumped onto the city wall.

The ground was densely covered with the corpses of the besieging soldiers, and the flesh and blood were blurred.

The siege of the city is not so simple, Mao Gui led people to climb three times in a row, countless siblings screamed and fell, were killed by arrows, stoned, scalded to death, blood stained the city wall, and the air was filled with the scorching smell of death.

Finally in the third time, Mao Gui went up.

"Go on!" Zhu Chongba shouted, "Go up to meet Brother Mao Gui, brothers, there are countless gold and silver in the city, go on!" ”

At this time, there was no need for the officers to scold, the red-eyed Haozhou sergeant, holding a knife in his hand, climbed the ladder with his hands and feet, and attacked the city.

"Die!"

Mao Gui jumped on the head of the city, and suddenly several spears stabbed over, opened one, sideways avoided one, and slashed at the neck of an official soldier.

Blood gushed out, but the knife was stuck in the opponent's neck and could not be drawn.

Seeing that the enemy's swords and guns were coming, the brother who climbed up behind him helped him block the enemy's blade with his chest.

"Brother Mao, I'll go first!"

"Good brother, brother avenges you!"

Finally, Mao Gui pulled out his knife and slashed at another person. Behind him, more soldiers came up, and on the head of the city, there were more and more red turbans, and the officers and soldiers retreated!

"The Red Turban Thief is here!"

"The city is broken!"

Amidst thousands of shouts, figures fell one by one, and blood flowed on the ground.

I don't know how long the fight lasted, until there was no enemy in front of him, Mao Gui threw away his knife, panted, covered the wounds on his body, and sat down against the wall.

Suddenly, a large hand reached out.

Mao Gui raised his head and smiled, stretched out his hand, and let the other party pull him up.

It was Zhu Chongba, the head of the Haozhou Army, who personally led people to the head of the city.

"Brother Mao, you have the best work in this battle!" Zhu Chongba said with a smile.

Mao Gui smiled weakly, "If you don't have merit, don't treat me as an outsider in the future!" ”

Zhu Chongba patted Mao Gui's shoulder and said, "Brother, in the future, let's get rich together!" ”

Anfeng City, broken.

The flames rose into the sky, the cries of murder mingled, and a woman ran out into the street with her hair disheveled, clutching her torn clothes.

But in the blink of an eye, he was pulled by the hair by a few other soldiers to the corner.

The cry is so heartbreaking.

It seems that there is a knife that pierced Zhu Chongba's heart.

He looked up at the sky, "God, we can't do anything, we hit Anfeng and Luzhou, otherwise we will be dead."

We are also children of poor families, this is the first time, and the last time. ”
