Chapter 21: The Great Master
"Chai Papi, I've put up with you for a long time! If you dare to trouble this prince today, I will go to find King Gaochuang tomorrow! Someone in the crowd shouted.
"Yes, you won't let me wait, and I won't make you feel better!"
Bringing up a complaint to the prefect's yamen here would make the county officials scoff, but it was different for Gao Yingxiang, the king of Tichuang, who was the place where the peasant rebellion was launched.
Wang Er has been here, Wang Jiayin has been here, Gao Yingxiang has also been here, every time the army comes, the county officials will kill once, and at the same time, the team will grow once.
"Who's talking? Hide your head and show your tail, can you dare to stand up? Sure enough, after listening to the words of the people, Zhixian Chai Minghui's beard trembled, and his legs trembled.
After Chai Zhixian finished speaking, the scene was quiet for a while, and he knew that these fart people didn't have the courage to scare him with King Chuang, but he got the news from the prefect that King Chuang had surrendered in Hanzhong.
"Since you don't dare to come out, don't interfere with the official's case, get out of the way!" Seeing that no one moved, Chai Zhixian became even more arrogant.
At this moment, a tall, thin man in the crowd squeezed out.
"I said it! What do you want to do? ”
"yes, what do you want?"
The first person stood up, and the rest of the people seemed to have the courage immediately, and then the surrounding people surrounded Chai Minghui in Zhixian County.
"Someone! Come! Give all these people to the official...... Ahh
This magistrate was also confused, and he didn't look at what the current formation was, and before he finished speaking, he was knocked to the ground with a fist.
Seven or eight of the officials who came with him wanted to help, but they were quickly subdued, and the remaining officials saw that the situation was not right, so they simply ran back to the city.
After a quarter of an hour, under the intervention of Chen Hai, Chai Zhixian was able to survive, and the official got up and saw that all the officials had run away, and he fled to the city without daring to let go.
Chen Hai is sure that if he doesn't care, this surnamed Chai Da will be killed, and then this group of people is likely to rise up like Wang Er, how can the so-called uprising be as lofty as the history books say.
"Thank you for your help, Naruto doesn't say secret words, I have gathered you all here, in addition to the soup kitchen, there is one more idea.
Now that we have a catastrophe in Shaanxi, it has been several years since the red land, and the imperial court not only did not provide disaster relief, but intensified taxation, and did not care whether we were dead or alive.
To tell you the truth, I just came out of King Gaochuang's team, I won't say anything superfluous, if you want to eat well, follow me, I only need two hundred people. After Chen Hai finished speaking, he ordered King Gu Yan to start the soup kitchen.
There is no superfluous foreshadowing, it is so direct, it is so blatant.
He didn't even elaborate on the rebel army, and the people who were waiting to receive the porridge were not stupid, since they came from the peasant army, what the conscription was for, as long as they were not fools, they would know in their hearts.
Soon the three-pot porridge was distributed, and some old and young women and children knew that the less they knew what was going on, the better, so they left directly, and there were still seven or eight hundred people gathered outside the city, all of whom were strong laborers who could not survive.
It is impossible for Chen Hai to be like Li Zicheng and the others who will not refuse to come, he does not have much grain in his hand at present, even if he buys all the silver, he can buy more than 400 stone at the current price of grain.
This time, he only planned to recruit 200 people, and set three more rules in order to screen Chen Hai.
First, those under the age of 15 and over the age of 35 do not want to;
Second, don't eat human flesh;
Third, priority is given to those who have no relatives in the family.
Only the first two rules screened out most of the people at once, and some elderly people knew that Gao Yingxiang did not have so many rules for recruiting soldiers, and they wanted to join by force and shouting, but they were finally scared back by King Gu Yan, who had flashed his knife.
The conscription lasted until the evening, and Nachaizhi County never dared to leave the city, and before the Xi'an government sent troops to suppress the bandits, he had to stay in the government like a turtle, shivering, and praying that the newly formed peasant army would not take him to sacrifice the flag.
From here to Xi'an Mansion, even if it is fast, it will take at least two or three days to go back and forth, so Chen Hai is not in a hurry at all.
A total of 194 qualified young people were recruited in this conscription, including 136 singles, and Chen Hai felt unsatisfactory.
These people are basically local villagers who can't survive, many of them haven't even drunk a bowl of porridge, and they don't have any discipline at the moment, one by one shouting for Chen Hai to give them food.
Chen Hai was not ambiguous, and directly gave Gu Yan Wang twenty taels and asked him to go to the city to buy pots and rice, and immediately set up a stove outside the city.
This made a large group of bachelors very incomprehensible, since they were bandits, why not take them directly into the city to rob the Fan family's grain shop, but Chen Hai did not explain, and he couldn't explain it clearly.
He didn't feel that he was a bandit, just like the grain shop in the county, people who do business with their ability deserve to be robbed?
It didn't take long for King Gu Yan to come back with people carrying rice noodles in a hurry, and he bought two cauldrons for twenty taels of silver, plus four stones, five buckets and three liters of rice noodles, which is equivalent to about more than 800 catties in later generations.
With these things, the more than 100 bachelors were extraordinarily cooperative, Chen Hai said not to shout loudly, and these people quickly sat aside and waited quietly for the meal.
Chen Hai picked out a few guys from the team who could make steamed buns, and the group of people was like having a dinner, which was very harmonious.
"Who's in charge here? Why don't you let us join? ”
Before the meal was ready, there was an argument on the west side of the team, and it seemed that a few men who were late wanted to join, but were told by the team that he was not eligible.
"Han Datou, why are you here too, the government is still arresting you!" The person who came seemed to be quite famous, and was recognized by more than one person.
"What's going on? Who's making trouble? Chen Hai had been observing the newly requisitioned people, and when he saw that something was wrong, he hurriedly walked over.
"Big boss, it's not a big deal, Han Datou, a fugitive." One explained.
"Sun Buer, let you talk too much, what's wrong with the fugitives? Is it possible that you pull the pole to revolt and not even accept fugitives? Han Datou became angry when he heard this, and at the same time, the six or seven people who followed him were also very angry.
"Ahh Han Datou, we saved face for you, do you have to let us tell you about eating people or what? "This is also a fool called Sun Buer, and he has already told the bottom of Han Datou as soon as he said it.
Sun Buer is not tall, and he usually doesn't dare to touch Han Datou's moldy head, but now he is a person with a team, and he is very tough when he speaks.
"We're doing the right thing for heaven! You know a fart."
It turned out that this Han Datou and the five or six fellow villagers behind him were originally poor people who had lost their land, and what others didn't eat was eating wild vegetables, tree bark, and green leaf stones, and even looking for the old and young who were about to starve to death or go out of the city alone.
And this Han Datou specializes in hunting those who have eaten people, Han Datou thinks that this is doing the right thing for heaven, but other people who know about it don't think so.
They were worried that one day in order to survive, they would have to find those poor people to live, and seeing that there were more and more people following Han Datou, someone simply sued him to the county office, and Han Datou and others became rats crossing the street and everyone shouted and beat them.
When Chen Hai heard it, he felt incredible, and then looked at the dragon spirit and tiger fierceness of Han Datou, thinking that Sun Bu'er said that the eight or nine are not far from ten.
Chen Hai remembered that there was a poisonous snake called the king cobra, this kind of snake usually eats other snakes, the kind that is swallowed alive directly, if he is not mistaken, this Han Datou is also a ruthless person.
"Originally, there was a rule that my team would not accept people who had eaten people, but I made an exception to give you a chance, and the ugly words are ahead, if I learn that you don't change your dead nature, you will be expelled after breaking your leg." Chen Hai stared at Han Datou's eyes and said.
"Can you eat if you join this team?" Han Datou asked directly.
"As long as you listen to orders, you will have food." Chen Hai pointed to the steaming five cauldrons over there.
"The big boss, there is food, and the donkey is going to do that thing!
Xie Da's family took him in, and I was worshiped by Han Yong! After saying that, Han Datou immediately knelt on the ground, and the five brothers behind him also bowed to Chen Hai.
At this time, the steamed bread and rice porridge were ready, the steamed bread was paired with rice porridge, plus a large jar of salted dried radish, a group of men who had not eaten white flour steamed buns for a long time, were stunned to eat the steamed buns and pickles out of the delicacies of the mountains and seas.
And Chen Hai sat on the side with Xin Yibo, the recruitment process was quite smooth, Chen Hai was a little entangled, how could he become a big boss in a daze?
He hadn't figured out how to organize this team yet, but these bitter haha's mouthfuls are a big boss.
At first, he seriously corrected that they were not bandits, but after a while, a new person came and called again, and in the end he didn't bother to correct it.
"Brother dog, what's going on tomorrow?
We have so many people all at once, and we can't do it all the time around the city, so I can't guarantee that the people from the government will come in the next two days. Xin Yibo worried.
"Yes, there is not much food, I have to buy food tomorrow." Chen Haidao.
"Then where do we live, Brother Dog?"
"Let's find a hidden hill to stay in for a while!"
Now these two hundred people are just a rabble, and most of them are malnourished, how can it be a big deal.
Zhan Shan is the king, Zhan Shan is the king, special mother, no wonder these birdmen call him the master, Chen Hai thought depressedly.
