Text Chapter 20 Grass Creation Army

After the general trend was decided, Yu Zhilong ordered an inventory of the driving labor, etc., with a total of more than 2,500 people, who were basically willing to join Yu Zhilong's team. These people know in their hearts that their identity as a repellent, unless the master has a good heart, may be allowed to change to become a free person in the future. Otherwise, they will be slaves and slaves for generations, and even their own children will not be able to get rid of the nationality of expulsion. But if the master has a good heart, it is better to hope that the sun will come out of the west. In the past, Emperor Taizu of the Yuan Dynasty had issued an edict asking various ministers or generals to release some of the subordinates in order to curb the excessive population plunder, increase the income of the Yuan court, etc., and even did not hesitate to take out part of the property as compensation to the lords of various places, but these subordinates basically did not obey the call, or just sat down. In this dynasty, the matter of forcibly plundering the people's mouth and changing it to driving the mouth abounds. If you don't follow Yu Zhilong this time, stay here and wait for the government to come back, you still can't get rid of the life of the expulsion, if the officials and soldiers are more greedy and directly kill the good and take the risk, then there is nowhere to be reasonable.

After inspecting the personnel, Yu Zhilong left a strong man, and he had 1,500 people. The rest of the injured and sick, the old and weak are not accepted for the time being, but they can't ignore it, Yu Zhilong temporarily appointed a few honest people as leaders, organized into teams, and managed them first. Because Yu Zhilong and the others still have follow-up plans, these injured, sick and old people will temporarily stay here to rest today.

The house slaves who were lucky not to die just now, Yu Zhilong asked them to stand in a row, let the disarmed officials line up in a row, and then let Mu Chun and others point out their sins one by one, whether there was a person who was abused or whipped to death, as long as several people identified this person as having this behavior, they were immediately dragged out and tied to a nearby wooden stake. This time, a total of nearly 100 house slaves and yacha were captured, and about 30 people were finally dragged out, of which there were more than 20 house slaves who were lucky not to die, but this time they were all dragged out. At the beginning, in order to punish those who disobeyed discipline, these house slaves set up more than 50 wooden stakes next to the quarry, and I don't know how many people died on them, and now finally feng shui takes turns, this year to your house, this time they are themselves reaping the consequences!

Relatively speaking, there are fewer people who are identified in the yacha, only six or seven, and Shi Tou was the most identified, everyone wanted to drag him out to punish the crime, Shi Tou was already afraid, and when he saw this scene, he was even more timid, and knelt down at Yu Zhilong, the whole person was in tears, begging bitterly, and he couldn't care about some feces and urine flowing out of his body. Yu Zhilong saw that he had completely lost his bearings, so he explained to everyone that because Shi Tou was still useful, he asked to leave Shi Tou's life for the time being. Everyone was grateful to Zhilong for his life, and in the end, it was gone.

Shi Tou had to get rid of the big difficulty, climbed in front of Yu Zhilong and just kept kowtowing, saying that his grandfather was merciful, but he had to send him to obey, and he would definitely go back to Yu Zhilong to make a golden body at home. Zhao Shi hated his ugliness and kicked it to the side, so that Qian Zheng and others tied it up first and gagged it with a cloth.

After the identification, Yu Zhilong ordered them all to be tied to the stake and gagged with a cloth to avoid noise. He also put a desk in front of these wooden stakes, put a few daggers on it, gathered the 1,500 people selected, and clearly told them that since you all say that your hatred is as deep as the sea, and you have no common life with the government and the old wealth, but you can't win my trust with empty mouth and white teeth, now give you a chance, the dagger is in front of you, and the enemy has been tied to the stake, it is the real man who picks up the dagger on the desk and stabs his enemy, so that he can really join the gang.

Yu Zhilong has his own purpose in doing this, there are more than 2,000 people who are attached this time, if it is usual, he still has time to slowly select people who are resourceful and can be responsible for the big and small leaders, but now he only has more than 70 people, even if he sends all these old brothers down and becomes leaders at all levels, in a short period of time, it is difficult to be familiar with each other with the people below. If such a large team can't do it like that, once something unexpected happens, the consequences are unpredictable.

Therefore, Yu Zhilong plans to use this method to observe the bold and daring people among the thousands of people, and the thieves have joined the gang and have a certificate of nomination, this is a test for these people!

Although the guilty man has been bound to a stake and gagged, the person who dares to take a dagger and stab himself into the body in full view of everyone must be a man of great courage and hatred. What I want are these people who dare to do things and are not afraid of blood.

When Yu Zhilong's words fell, everyone looked at each other, feeling that the method of this big leader to test everyone was really unheard of. Driven by long-term cruelty, everyone has long been accustomed to bearing constant punishment, bloodshed, hunger and death, and many people's minds have gradually become numb.

After a while, Mu Chun saw that everyone was unresponsive, so he stepped out first, looked around everyone, picked up a dagger, inserted it into the stomach of a house slave in front of everyone's eyes, and then pulled it out suddenly, the house slave was so painful that his whole body trembled, and a stream of blood splashed out, but unfortunately he couldn't speak. Mu Chun put the dagger back on the table, came to Yu Zhilong, knelt down with his legs and said loudly: "Big leader, you saved the lives of all the brothers here today, I can't express my gratitude for the great kindness, I Mu Chun is willing to join the gang, and I will be loyal to you in the future, and I will never have two hearts." ”

Yu Zhilong hurriedly helped Mu Chun up with both hands, his face was full of relief, and he said with a smile: "Brother Mu Chun, you are a good man with affection and righteousness, what a hero!" Rest assured, I will never treat any of my brothers badly! ”

With Mu Chun as a demonstration, finally a few people who were bitter and hateful, or who had the heaviest friendship with Mu Chun, came out of the crowd, picked up daggers, and stabbed them at a few hated people, and some even stabbed them twice. And then gradually, there were dozens, dozens, hundreds of people in turn. In the end, almost all of the thousands of people attacked, and the dozens of designated people were completely stabbed. Under the surging crowd, in the end, even those who were sick, disabled, old and weak also stepped forward, vying to stab those domestic slaves and others again.

This scene fell in the eyes of the yacha who was tied up next to him, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to look at it directly, and he was sweating like pulp. In the past, they were powerful, and they were rampage inside and outside the county, and those lowly people saw them and immediately weakened their legs and feet, and talked with smiling faces.

Yu Zhilong, Zhao Shi and others carefully observed the person who came out first, and asked him to stand aside first, and after all the people were done, let everyone rest first, Ji Xiancheng had already arranged for the room to cook quickly, and Zhao Shi assigned some people to untie the shackles on their bodies one by one. Qian Zheng led people to examine the injured patients one by one, wiped the wounds with water, and had to temporarily find some clean cloth to wrap the wounds without medicine. Several of them were companions who escaped with Mu Chun and were recaptured, and they were naturally rescued this time, but unfortunately one of them failed to survive and died last night. Mu Chun washed his body, and buried him with tears in his eyes.

Yu Zhilong took Zhao Shi, Ji Xiancheng, Wu Side, Chang Zhi and more than 50 people who stood up in advance to find a spacious place to discuss matters.

Yu Zhilong first introduced the origins of himself and the people in turn, the names of each person, and then these people reported their origins and names in turn. According to the method discussed in advance with Zhao Shi and others, Yu Zhilong decided to break up most of the original seventy or so old brothers and assign them to various teams. At present, the team has expanded to more than 1,000 people, and according to the number of people, it is organized into 15 teams of 100 households, and each 100 households has two general flags. The military system of the Yuan army is divided into 1,000 households, 700 troops in 1,000 households, 500 troops in 1,000 households, and 300 troops in 1,000 households.

Because it was impossible to carefully select the right leaders, and the number of people was not sufficient, there were only two small flags under each general flag, and the number of people in each small flag was about 20 people. The hundred households and the general banner are all held by the old brothers who follow Yu Zhilong, and the appointment of the small flag is mainly handed over to these drives, because the number of small flags is still not enough, Yu Zhilong simply took out ten more people from the remaining old brothers and appointed them, so that there are only about twenty old brothers left around him.

Zhao Shi was appointed as the deputy thousand households, and temporarily led a hundred households team. Wu Side, Qian Xiucai, Hou Ying, Ji Xiancheng, Chang Zhi, Mu Chun, Huang Er and other leaders led hundreds of households.

The shelves of the team have been preliminarily set up, and everyone hurries up to get to know each other, Yu Zhilong then ordered these new officials to quickly go out to form an army for the coolies, so that they can get familiar with each other as soon as possible, and Yu Zhilong only gave an hour in terms of time.

After the meal was cooked, more than 2,000 people ate on the spot, Yu Zhilong ordered all the subordinates of the army to take the small flag as the basic unit, with the 100 households team as a part, and lead the regiments to sit and eat in each team of 100 households, the general flag and the small flag, so as to deepen their understanding while eating. All the heads of the hundred households are wrapped in red cloth, and a red belt is tied around the neck, and all the leaders below the general flag are tied with a red belt around the neck to facilitate the identification of the soldiers. Each 100 households team in accordance with the order from one, two, three, four to fifteen grouping, each hundred households team set up a flag, write the team number, set up a chess player, the chess player closely followed the hundred households, the team subordinates followed closely the flag, the flag walked, the flag stopped people stopped. All departments must know the banner of the headquarters, because there are basically no literate people in the entire team, Yu Zhilong only hopes that in a short period of time, the people of each department can recognize the banner of the headquarters.

Yu Zhilong and Zhao Shi respectively set up their own banners of thousands of households.

There is a lack of cloth in the valley, and even the cloth for making seventeen flags is insufficient, Wu Side searched around, and finally found some house slaves and yacha to change clothes, let a few women cut it, and put together a flag with a similar area by basically similar colors, Qian Zheng used the charcoal black of charcoal to write a big number symbol on the front and back of the cloth, and then found a bamboo pole to tie it with a rope, and the flag of the hundred households was made.

Qianhu flag has the same method of manufacturing, Qian is writing two big "thousand" words on both sides of the flag, the word "thousand" is two circles larger than the number of those hundred household flags, and in order to distinguish it from the hundred household flags, especially in the circle of the "thousand" word to draw a circle, even if the illiterate people see, as long as they see the big word with a circle outside, they know that this is a thousand household flag, the whole army has only two thousand households, is a thousand households is Yu Zhilong, deputy thousand households is Zhao Shi.

Yu Zhilong looked at these shabby flags, and was really speechless for a while, this may be the most shabby, even the ugliest flag he has encountered. There was no decoration on it, a patchwork of cloth, mixed colors, and only a large handwritten number on it, and if there was anything to be praised, it was that the woman's workwoman was good, and the threads were fine and regular, and it was evident that they had done their best. Thinking about the flags of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang at the end of Qin, it is estimated that this is what it means!

If it weren't for the time constraints, I wouldn't have adopted such a flag if I said anything. However, seeing that the drivers who turned over were full of joy, reunited under their own team flags, and looked forward to the days of turning over in the future, Yu Zhilong didn't think much about it anymore.
