The Ming court is back!

But it's only half a day's work, the news is like thunder in the whole land of Zhili, the news is so fast, the people are running to tell each other, those who know the news, after hearing the news, are all excited to shed uncontrollable tears.

The reason why these people are so excited is that the reason is simple, after all, unlike other places, there are hundreds of miles around the Jingshi, and most of them are occupied by the Qing captives - after the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, in order to solve the livelihood of the Eight Banners, it was decided to forcibly occupy the land near the Jingshi, and then issued an order to enclose the land. Not only did they occupy the land that originally belonged to the Han peasants to the nobles of the Eight Banners, but at the same time they forced the Han peasants to "surrender to the capital"; a large amount of land in the Kifu region was occupied by Manchuria, and the indigenous Han people were deprived of their livelihood, and the Manchurian nobles, officers and soldiers themselves did not engage in farming, and the Qing court allowed the Han people to invest in cultivating the fields as slaves in the name of "opening up a way for the poor to have food and clothing."

It's just that those who originally only used the so-called surrender, but they are similar to the tenants, they know that the "surrender" to the banner, there are tenants, but they have become slaves who have lost their freedom, and even more, while enclosing the land, they directly accept the people in the enclosed land as a coat and force them to surrender.

The Han people who were forced into slavery themselves lived a life of cattle and horses without freedom, and their children and grandchildren were also called family children, and it was difficult for them to escape the fate of being enslaved for generations. Some of them committed suicide in grief because they were cornered, while more people embarked on the road of escape, so the mass exodus of their slaves never stopped, even the Manchu Qing Dynasty did not stop their escape, and after the Ming army recovered Jiangnan, the escape of its slaves to Jiangnan intensified.

It's just that at that time, not everyone could make this decision to abandon their family and business and flee to the south at the risk of killing their heads. More people chose to stay and chose to endure. And while enduring slavery and humiliation, their eyes were fixed on the South. In my heart, I longed for the Northern Expedition of the king.

Finally, as if looking forward to the stars and the moon, I finally looked forward to the arrival of the king.

The Manchu Tartars fled!

The Ming Dynasty has returned to Beijing!

When this news came, how could they not be excited, once upon a time, they could only endure everything in humiliation when they became slaves, and now, they who have long been unbearable, finally do not need to endure it anymore.

After returning from the county seat, as soon as he entered the village, Zhu Dafu stood at the corner of the street, saw Zhu Laoquan coming from the dark shadow, and took two steps forward to stop him. dragged to the bottom of the archway at the entrance of the village, grabbed his hand, and said softly.

"Big nephew! I have something I want to tell you, just listen to it, and if you don't listen, throw it at the back of your neck. ”

Zhu Dafu looked at the uncle in the village and nodded.

"Uncle, you keep talking, I can't listen!"

"Just came back from the county?"

After receiving an affirmative answer, Zhu Laoquan said again.

"Got the news?"

There is no need to ask, and he knows what news he is asking, the reason why Zhu Dafu went to the county town is to inquire whether the news he heard before is true or false, and he has been waiting for this news for more than ten years.

"Yes, the clothes of the county officials and officials have been changed, and many people in the city have changed their clothes and their heads have been wrapped, and the tartars have been driven away."

After getting this answer, Zhu Laoquan touched his beard, looking like he was holding onto steadily.

"I heard that you want to stretch out your fingers for what happened to our Zhu Laozhuang more than ten years ago, is it true?"

Zhu Dafu nodded his chin and said in a deep voice.

"Hmm!"

Looking left and right, Zhu Laoquan's face became nervous, and he said softly.

"My God! If you really do that, you're going to break the king's law? Your father and your grandfather, as well as several generations of our Zhu Laozhuang, have been alive with their necks in the past ten years, so do you have to provoke this right and wrong? In these years, how can there be a reason to press your head and look at the fire pit? ”

Looking at this uncle who was nervous about himself, Zhu Dafu was silent for a while before speaking.

"I know the royal law, but a person who lives to be 100 years old is just death, it is better to die early and surpass the life of Lisuo, left and right is this matter, life and death, there are too many considerations, but there are also concerns, we Zhu Laozhuang dozens of lives, as well as my daughter-in-law's life, can't just be in vain!"

Listening to his words, Zhu Laoquan shook his head one after another and said.

"Alas! Don't, don't be like this, as the saying goes, a good man doesn't suffer immediate losses, this, you don't accept this person, there is an official government to accept him, the government does not accept him, there is God to accept him, if you go to accept him, then you will have violated the royal law! ”

The two of them just stood under the archway and talked, and finally Zhu Dafu shook and said.

"Uncle, if you say anything else, I'll listen to you. But when you say this, your nephew has made up his mind, so don't persuade him, this world is ...... The official doesn't accept it, the sky doesn't collect it, or someone else collects it, pointing to the ...... of God."

Glancing at the sky, although Zhu Dafu didn't speak, his words couldn't be clearer.

The zenith is used, what has God been doing in the past ten years?

"What if...... If there are three long and two short, when the time comes, the uncle and the village will give the tiger a bite to eat, and the nephew will die, and it will be worth it! ”

Saying that, Zhu Dafu went home without looking back, and he didn't eat when he got home, but sat on the edge of the threshold, holding a cigarette bag and pot in his mouth, and raised his chin for a long time there. After Huzi and his sister had finished eating and falling asleep, he had been sitting on the threshold for a long time before he quietly pulled out a guillotine from the doorway.

This guillotine is used to cut grass, it is three feet long, and the guillotine made of stainless steel weighs more than ten pounds, and it is heavy in the hand.

After taking a basin of water and sitting on the bench, Zhu Dafu sharpened the guillotine on the whetstone, one at a time, one at a time, with full strength.

Because the night was very quiet, Huzi fell asleep, and vaguely heard the sound of sharpening knives in the yard. He stretched his head out of the bed, opened his big eyes, and looked at the edge of the kang on his stomach, only to see his father there squinting his eyes into a slit and looking at the blade, Xu was not satisfied, so he sharpened it there again, he just quietly sharpened the guillotine at home under a small oil lamp, sharpened the blade very sharp, and only let the blade shine in the light.

When he was sharpening the knife, Zhu Dafu, after sharpening the knife, deliberately tried it with the calluses on his hands, but only a light scrape, the calluses on his hands were scraped off, and it was not until this time that he nodded with satisfaction, and the knife was sharpened.

As soon as he looked up, Zhu Dafu saw his son looking at him with wide eyes, so he grinned at his son and said with a smile.

"Hmm! Tiger! Tomorrow morning, you and your sister will go to your grandmother's house for two days, you haven't been there for a while, your grandmother's house, you must also miss her old man's house. Tell your grandma, just say...... I said, I'll go see her later,"

Huzi nodded and listened to his father's words, blinked his eyes, and then retracted his head into the quilt, he still knew what was going on, for him, it was just to go to his relatives.

Although his son fell asleep quickly, Zhu Dafu couldn't sleep, he just sat there, and then held the guillotine knife in his hand. He sometimes looked at the guillotine, holding the wooden handle of the guillotine, the jujube wood handle had been sharpened for many years, and it was a comfort to hold in his hand.

In the past, with such a freshly sharpened knife, he could lift thousands of catties of grass without resting.

This knife is a good knife!

I didn't sleep all night, until the rooster crowed, Zhu Dafu walked into the yard, and when he came to the yard, he saw his father sitting on the millstone.

"Dad, when did you come?"

Seeing the soot under his father's feet, Zhu Dafu knew that his father probably didn't know how long he had been here. But the tone seemed a little distant, for several years, there were some things he couldn't let go.

"Half a night."

The horn took two puffs of dry tobacco, and then Zhu Laoguo looked at the guillotine shelf on the ground and said.

"The guillotine was removed?"

"Hmm."

Zhu Dafu didn't hide it, just nodded and answered.

"Must go?"

"I have to go!"

The hatred of taking his wife cannot be repaid. Even if my dad stops me, I can't do it!

"Oh, then there you go!"

Surprisingly, Zhu Laoguo did not stop him this time.

"What about Juanzi and the tiger?"

"I told them to go to his grandmother's house first and hide."

"Hide?"

knocked off the cigarette ash in the cigarette pouch pot, and then Zhu Laoguo looked at his son and said.

"Why do you want to hide, you have to let the tiger stay, let him know that his father is a man, not a wreck!"

Staring at his shocked son, Zhu Laoguo continued.

"You know, why did you stop you back then? Won't you kill that brute? ”

Looking at this courtyard, Zhu Lao said after a while.

"That's because, back then, the Manchurians sat in the world, and you killed that brute, which seemed to be revenge, but in the end, the government not only had to kill you, but also killed our whole family, even our Zhu Laozhuang, I don't know how many people suffered, and when the time comes, our sin will be great, so this hatred, no matter what, we have to endure it, not for yourself......"

Saying that, Zhu Laoquan shook his head, he knew that this son had been blaming him all these years, and even the separation of the family was for this matter.

"But now, the Manchurians don't sit in the world, then it's different, all these years, you haven't let go, if you stop you, you can't let go of this thing in your life, if you want to go, go ......"

In the end, Zhu Laoquan sighed, and when he got up to leave, he said without looking back.

"Juanzi and Huzi, you just have to rest assured, your father is still alive, and if I have a bite to eat, I won't starve their sister and brother, even if I die, and your eldest brother, he, without your blood, but, after all, it's your eldest brother, and he won't starve their ......"

After saying this, Zhu Laoquan put his hands behind his back, bent over and left with a cigarette pouch......
