Zhu Yuanzhang's temple is called: Huangjue Temple (later Zhu Yuanzhang gave the name: Da Longxing Temple, now it is a national AAA tourist attraction), the temple address is located in Anhui Fengyang South six kilometers, before Zhu Yuanzhang entered the temple is a dilapidated small temple, but when Zhu Yuanzhang developed, Huangjue Temple was also famous overnight.

In the fourth year of Emperor Yuan Shun's reign, that is, in 1344 AD, our starling entered Huangjue Temple at the age of seventeen and became the second errand in his life: a monk.

Law name: Yuanlong (some people are called Rujing, Yuanlong's law name is not necessarily accurate, because at that time, the dragon was not casually used, but later he became the emperor of the old man, how to write this history book is the privilege of others, otherwise if you don't agree with him, you will be killed, anyway, there are not tens of thousands of souls who died under Zhu Yuanzhang's hands, but also thousands!) ）。

Although nominally he is a monk, in reality he is not even a monk.

According to the facts, Zhu Yuanzhang's rank should be a small novice, and this level is one level lower than that of a monk.

Because less than two months after Zhu Chongba entered the temple, he was blasted out, became a foot-catching monk, and began to turn his fate around, that is, to ask for food.

This kind of life is definitely not what Zhu Yuanzhang wants.

But in the face of the power of the host and the abbot, and in the face of the hegemony of the other party's arms thicker than his thighs, he could only endure silently.

If you want to eat, you want to eat, and it's not that you haven't asked for it!

Who's afraid of whom!

Well, there's no way, who told him that the old man's life was miserable, turned around, and started his own job again.

This also shows the change between him turning over from a monk overnight to an emperor, either drinking Wang Ba soup or becoming a Super Saiyan, anyway, he is not ordinarily strong.

And during these two months, Starling's job is to do laundry and cook in addition to ringing the bell.

As for Buddhist chanting and reciting scriptures, it has nothing to do with him at all, so you can stay where you are cool.

But I think this may be what Zhu Yuanzhang wants, because in the past, he couldn't eat enough, and he was beaten every day except for herding cattle, not to mention white flour buns, even stick noodles and nests may not have seen a few times.

The fundamental purpose of his coming to Huangjue Temple was to find work and eat well.

Now let him cook, just in his heart.

Because the monk's food can be deducted, the monk's food can be swallowed privately, which corner can be hidden, you can steal a part of it, even if it is a rice residue, it is fragrant.

In fact, this can't be regarded as his corruption, because for those who have experienced the change of being starved to death, for those who have survived the catastrophe, any meal is fragrant.

It's just that the only difference is that Monk Zhu's task has changed now, and he has become a bald guy with a twist of his eyebrows, looking at the yellow face in front of him who has not grown and is seriously malnourished, he is angry, bent his mouth and pinched his waist, staring at the fire, pointing at the little deflated three in front of him and shouting angrily.

Go, go, eat, find work!

During this time in Huangjue Temple, there was also a small episode.

On this day, Zhu Yuanzhang came back late from work, and the monks closed the mountain gate early, no matter how Zhu Yuanzhang called, no one came to open the door. I think it can be seen from this point that Zhu Yuanzhang has some problems with his character, at least the relationship with these monks is not very harmonious, otherwise why should these stinky bald heads be difficult for him.

In this kind of situation, Zhu Yuanzhang had no choice but to sleep outside the mountain gate.

He lay on the ground, looked at the starry sky, and blurted out between the stars, perhaps in a casual way:

The heavens are tents, and the earth is felt.

The sun, moon and stars sleep with me.

At night, you might as well stretch your feet,

I am afraid of stepping on mountains and rivers.

According to the history books, because of the release of this poem, it also alarmed the god Garan in the temple. We won't talk about this paragraph, because this part is too mythical, and it is completely a trick made up to deceive children, so we won't mention it here.

In this environment, Zhu Yuanzhang endured everything.

Listen to people's persuasion in order to eat well, and endure people's words in order to sleep well.

In order to eat, I endure;

In order to sleep, I do.

It was in this kind of day, although he could not be called worry-free about food and clothing, but he was barely able to fill his stomach, Zhu Yuanzhang spent just two months.

【Bowl for rice】

Two months later, the head of the monastery and the elders began to ask the monks to travel far and wide, fearing that they would also be hungry.

Of course, the monks don't say that, in their opinion, it's just asking them to ask for food.

The beautiful name is called: Fate!

Because Huangjue Temple is living on rent collection and incense.

In that era of displacement, people died and scattered, who still farmed, who still burned incense, let alone gave money for incense.

It was in this situation that one day not long after, the glorious and arduous task of turning into a fate finally fell on the starling.

He was greeted by a wooden fish with a knock on one side and a tattered robe with several large holes.

Say goodbye to the master and the host.

From then on, Zhu Yuanzhang was alone again, hard-headed, knocking fish and chanting Buddha, and walking in the world!

No matter what era it is, it is difficult to ask for food, Zhu Yuanzhang had to ask for food when his parents died two months ago, and he should have mastered some skills to ask for food, and now it is natural to pick up the rice bowl better than those who give birth to cats. Moreover, after staying in the temple for a long time, those monks who used to travel in the past will also publicize their travel experience from time to time, these things Zhu Yuanzhang remembered in his heart, and now he is just moving from theory to practice.

Didn't Master Marx say that all ideas must proceed from practice, and ideas that are divorced from practice are utopianism.

It's still the same sentence, in order to eat, I endure,

In order to sleep, I do.

Don't you just want food, if others can ask for it, I can ask for it.

Zhu Yuanzhang remembered that those old monks said that those who ask for food should not wander around in the poor countryside, although the common people in those places are real, but the amount of charity that can be given is also very limited.

So the starlings chose those wealthy families.

And most of these big families have a vicious dog at home to guard the door, and these beasts are much sharper than human eyes. Seeing that you are dressed in tatters and disheveled, you grin and roar with your teeth and claws.

The owner is next to him, roaring more happily, after all, the dog fights human power has its reason.

Zhu Yuanzhang naturally knew this, so when he was close to the door of the courtyard of the big family, he knocked on the wooden fish and shouted the slogan of Buddhism.

It's okay to coax these wild paths.

Besides, most of the people who can be big families have unclean foundations, and in that era when people eat people, ghosts eat ghosts, and animals live more nourishingly than people, there is no little power, and no matter how much wealth you have, you can squeeze it out for you.

And the richer these big households are, the more superstitious they are, they do a lot of bad things on weekdays, not to mention the things that hurt nature and reason, just say that the local owners squeeze the hard-earned money of tenants, and they are very hairy in their hearts.

They are also afraid that when they report to Lord Yama one day, they will be put in the oil pot on the knife mountain, and they will never be able to turn over. Therefore, when they were alive, they also revered the Bodhisattva, which is why the temple was able to sustain its livelihood for a relatively long time.

It is under this kind of loophole that most of those big landlords are polite when they see the monks, and they take out a little bit of white and red from the mouth of their dogs, and give it to the monks who come to turn their fortunes, which can be regarded as cultivating some good deeds for themselves for the Buddhist family, one-sided bribery and bribery of the Buddha, so that the old man can make a small note for himself on the list of bad people.

Therefore, although the starling does not dare to say that he is full of wine and food wherever he goes, at least he will not expose his body to the streets.

In this kind of stop-and-go process, Zhu Chongba went all the way south, first to Hefei, then to Huaiyang, and then to Yingzhou (now Fuyang, Anhui), relying on his No. 11 car, just walked all the way down, and most of the places he went were destitute. The rich are so rich that they are hungry, and the poor are poor who want food.

Although I have suffered from the white eyes and sarcasm of others, I have also seen the world, expanded my horizons, exercised my body, and gained a lot of knowledge.

At this time, a major event that caused a sensation throughout the country soon spread throughout a large area of Huaixi.

In 1351 AD, Han Shantong and Liu Futong rebelled in Yingzhou.

Indoctrination of the uprising: White Lotus;

Publicity: Maitreya Buddha was born;

Self-proclaimed: King Ming was born.

This is also the first person to raise the banner of anti-Yuan.

We should remember their names, and although their uprising was quickly suppressed by the Yuan army, it did not affect the historical status of their existence in any way.

Someone starts and it's easy to do.

Soon after Han Shantong and Liu Futong rebelled, another figure also came to light, his name was: Peng Yingyu (because he also used to be a monk, so some people call him Peng Monk).

Maybe it's not easy for us to remember him just by saying this name, well, he has another name that we are familiar with, that is: Wusanren (from Mr. Jin Yong's "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", it is one of them, that is, the monk with a long bag on the head door, a round face and a happy face to see people talking about people, and a cloth bag monk who goes out every day and carries a sack wherever he goes, I can't say. ）

Name: Peng Yingyu;

Gender: Male;

Nationality: Han;

Birthplace of Broken Shell: Yuanzhou (now Yichun, Jiangxi);

Religion: White Lotus;

Peng Yingyu's missionary scope is Huaixi, and the missionary name is Maitreya. Because the mission area is in the south, it is called the Southern School.

And Han Shantong and Liu Futong are known as the Northern School.

Because they all have the same political position, and there is only one purpose, which is to overthrow the fucked government of the Yuan Dynasty and kill the bastard rulers of the Yuan Dynasty. So it was natural for them to merge into one, both promoting Maitreya Buddha and King Ming, and the rebellious followers wrapped their heads in red scarves to distinguish the Yuan army.

Because of this, they are also known as the Red Turban Army, or the Xiang Army.

They believe in the White Lotus Sect, also known as Maitreya Sect, which advertised the birth of King Ming, and later gradually evolved into a name, which is the famous one: Mingjiao!

And our starlings, the area they are traveling to now are within the sphere of influence of their uprising.
