Chapter 4 The Peasant Rebellion
"The second brother knows that you mean well, but people don't seem to appreciate it." The older burly young man was dissatisfied.
"This should be his knee-jerk reaction, isn't it strange for those who don't know." The younger young man continued to excuse Zhu Li, and when he finished speaking, he looked at Zhu Li gently, as if he wanted him to prove it.
At this time, Zhu Li realized that the hand just now was stretched out by a sturdy young man, and the purpose was naturally to let him not stand in everyone's way.
Inadvertently bumped into other people's kindness, Zhu Li felt a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, I saw so many people just now, I was a little stunned, I disappointed your kindness, I'm really sorry." ”
"Hahaha, second brother, look, I'm right." The younger vigorous young man, with a happy face, turned to the burly young man to show his way, and seeing that the burly young man ignored him, he turned to Zhu Li again: "It's okay, don't mind, the second brother also misunderstood, don't blame him." ”
This eighteen- or nineteen-year-old young man was very kind, and before Zhu Li felt anything, he was afraid that Zhu Li would misunderstand, so while explaining to him, he continued: "Come quickly, follow me, you will be killed if you pestle like this." ”
"Kill the head?" Zhu Li was stunned for a moment, his expression changed suddenly, he had just experienced the thing of eating people, so he escaped, and now because he was standing in the middle of the road, he was going to be killed, what kind of world is this.
At this time, the donkey cart had already galloped past Zhu Li's side, and the surrounding big men with guns and guns looked sideways at Zhu Li, with a hint of blame, but they were not as vicious and malicious as Yang Biao and Qingpi, so that Zhu Li's hanging heart was put down.
He hurriedly walked to the young man, followed his footsteps, followed the flow of people, and walked forward together, while whispering suspiciously: "Hello, big brother, my name is Zhu Li, what is the situation now?" ”
The young man seemed to think that Zhu Li's speech was a little strange, and he glanced at him curiously, and then whispered, "Are you calling me?" ”
"That's right." Zhu Li nodded seriously.
"Brother, you can't shout nonsense, that's the name of an adult, if you want, you can call me the third brother, Zhang Guimu in Xiaqinghe, the person who misunderstood you just now is the second brother in Xia, Zhang Guihou, we are now on the march."
Zhang Guimu, who was solemn, made Zhu Li stunned when he spoke, third brother? Second brother? My lord? It's all a mess.
But at the moment, Zhu Li is not concerned about these, what he cares about now is who these people are, and his intuition made him feel that this group of people was unusual, and continued to ask: "March, you are an army?" ”
"Of course, we are the subordinates of General Chongtian, not long ago, his old man ordered the righteous army of the world to go south, General Bi is leading us to Guangzhou, I heard that we are going to attack there with General Chongtian." Zhang Guimu glanced at Zhu Li smugly, as if he was proud that he could attack Guangzhou with that sky-high general.
"General Chongtian, General Bi?" Zhu Li frowned slightly when he heard this, these two people, he never seemed to have heard of them, in his memory, the general seemed to have a little impression, but for a while he couldn't remember where he had heard it.
Looking at Zhu Li's confused expression, Zhang Guimu seemed a little dissatisfied, what kind of character is the general of the sky, it is famous all over the world and everyone knows it, this young man was unexpectedly unheard, which made him very unhappy and said: "You haven't heard of the general of the sky, you, you are really unknowledgeable." ”
"Is he famous?" Zhu Li saw that the other party had an expression like eating a fly, and still asked puzzled.
"Third brother, what are you talking about with this kid, you know at a glance that he is a stupid boy and doesn't know anything." Zhang Guihou on the side also seemed to be dissatisfied with Zhu Li, obviously he was also an admirer of the "Cupola General".
Zhang Guimu glanced at Zhang Guihou, then looked back at Zhu Li, and lowered his voice helplessly: "Brother Zhu Lixian, the general who rushed to the sky, also known as His Majesty the Yellow King, surnamed Huang Mingchao, he is the leader of our grass army, how can you not know his old man's name?" ”
"Yellow Nest, Yellow Nest?" As soon as Zhu Li heard this name, after repeating it in a low voice, he immediately thought of something, his heart tightened, and he hurriedly asked: "Brother Gui Mu, ah, no, Brother Gui Mu, what dynasty is it now?" ”
"It's the second year of Wang Ba, what do you mean by dynasty?" Zhang Guimu didn't know why, and blurted out.
In the second year of Wang Ba, Zhu Li was confused, but he had a guess in his heart, so he continued: "Is it the Tang Dynasty now, is the emperor Tang Xizong, or Tang Zhaozong?" ”
As soon as Zhu Li asked, Zhang Guimu understood, and the thief looked around for a while, and found that everyone was hurrying away, and no one paid attention to them at all, so he put his mind at ease, and looked at Zhu Li sneakily and said: "Yes, it is now the reign of Tang Xizong, if it is according to his year name, it should be the sixth year of Qianfu, what's wrong?" ”
After getting Zhang Guimu's affirmative answer, Zhu Li was instantly stunned, if Zhang Guimu hadn't pulled him by the hand, he would have forgotten to step out.
The Tang Dynasty was still the last year of the Tang Dynasty, and he came to the end of the Tang Dynasty in this time, which was not a good era, the last years of the Tang Dynasty, the division of feudal towns, wars, sons killing their fathers, younger brothers killing brothers, subordinates killing officials, etc., this is an extremely dark and turbulent era.
Don't talk about others, just talk about this Huang Chao, who is Huang Chao, people with a little knowledge of history know that he was the leader of the peasant rebel army in the last years of the Tang Dynasty, and some people commented: Tang disaster was based on Guilin, and died in Huang Chao.
The famous poem: "The sassy west wind is planted all over the courtyard, the cold fragrance and cold butterflies are difficult to come, if I am the green emperor in his year, I will bloom with the peach blossoms." It is Huang Chao's work, a good poem, but full of rebellious feelings.
Now this group of people actually called Huang Chao "General Cupola", and followed his orders to go to Guangzhou, even if Zhu Li is a fool, he knows who these people are, if not surprising, they are all ordinary people who followed Huang Chao to rebel.
What a grass army, to put it bluntly, is a rebel army.
Just borrowed the corpse to come to this world, finally escaped the fate of being eaten, turned his head and fell into a bigger pit, Zhu Li's breathing became heavy, his heart was full of despair and tyranny, rebellion, in the feudal period, rebellion was to be raided and exterminated, in history, no rebellion has ever succeeded, either failed, or was used by others, and made a wedding dress.
"Hey, Brother Zhu Lixian, Brother Zhu Lixian, what's wrong with you?" Zhang Guimu watched Zhu Li's face turn from blue to white, and then from white to black, breathing heavily, with a collapsed look, and immediately called him anxiously.
"I, I'm fine." Zhu Li turned his head and reluctantly squeezed him into a stiff smile, saying something wrong.
Knowing his situation, how could Zhu Li be like a nobody, when nothing happened, although he had no intention, he was now wrapped in countless peasant rebels, even if he wanted to leave now, he couldn't find a chance.
"This little man can't be stupid, just this little bit of cowardice, he is really not a man." Zhang Guihou next to him was a few years older after all, and he could see at a glance the reason why Zhu Li became demented.
"Scared? How is it possible, the three of us brothers, but under the leadership of the eldest brother, they abandoned their families and came, manly, big husband, born in troubled times, shouldn't they hold a three-foot long sword, cut through thorns and thorns, and win a future? Zhang Guimu glanced at his second brother angrily, and said arrogantly.
was refuted by Zhang Guimu, Zhang Guihou said disdainfully: "Holding a three-foot long sword, bathing in bloody battlefields, and gaining fame, this is not just talking, people who can do this must also have this ability, this little man also brought a little lady who dragged his feet, how to overcome obstacles?" ”
Zhang Guihou mentioned Zhu Li's sister, let him subconsciously glance into his arms, and found that Zhu Ning'er at this time was more like a cute koala, with a foot-long crystal water hanging from the corner of her mouth, curled up on Zhu Li's chest, and fell asleep without any image, maybe it was because of the previous intimidation, her young heart was already tired.
However, seeing her sister's appearance, Zhu Li's heart suddenly became quiet, since ancient times, whether it is the era of singing and dancing, or the troubled times of wolf smoke, what is the reason for men to give up their lives and forget death, isn't it just to protect their relatives?
This kind of warmth that blood is thicker than water made him suddenly firm in his desire to survive, not for anything else, only for his relatives, for his sister, he also has to find a way to live.
After thinking about it, he began to think about it seriously, the first thing to consider was his ability to survive, for this, although he did not have blind confidence, but he also thought to himself, mainly because the quality of this body was good in all aspects, although he was only thirteen years old, but outsiders looked at least like a fourteen or five-year-old boy.
In the era of feudal dynasties, fourteen or fifteen-year-old boys, especially those born in ordinary people's families, could have already started a family, but what about joining the military, when working in the previous life, once there was a problem, the most important thing was not to complain about the heavens and others, not to shirk each other, but to find a way to solve it.
This kind of attitude is the most suitable at the moment, since it has fallen into such a situation, then find a way to live, Zhu Li secretly decided.
"Brother Gui Mu, am I also a soldier now?" After settling down, Zhu Li's thinking immediately became active, and now that he is unarmed, it is best to get a set of equipment immediately, so that he can also strengthen his survivability.
Seeing that Zhu Li suddenly became light and light from that state of almost collapse, Zhang Guimu breathed a sigh of relief.
He was afraid that Zhu Li would suddenly go crazy like some people who were unwilling to join the grass army, such people were really uncommon, almost every time they brought the people, there would be such people, and there were a lot of them, and in the end they could only be killed, even if those who were not killed, the end was very miserable, almost all items were deprived, thrown in the ruins, and left to fend for themselves.
"Well, since you have joined the army, you are now a guard, how are you skilled, if you can ride a horse, let the general take a fancy to it, maybe you will be promoted to become a Yue Cai." Zhang Guimu nodded seriously.
