Chapter 145: Ten Years of Gambling Contract
(In the past two days, I have rushed to catch up with the draft, taking advantage of the Dragon Boat Festival holiday, to accompany my family, the outbreak may not be, but basically we must ensure that two more days a day can not be broken!) Otherwise, I'm sorry brethren! Support it with a red ticket! The cold wind is relatively diligent! Hey! )
The news that Lijiazhuang was broken by the Xingtian Army spread very quickly, greatly shaking many surrounding villages, making the rich gentry in the vicinity everyone in danger and frightened to the point that they were at a loss for what to do.
At the beginning, a few poles that were at the enmity with the Xingtian Army pulled out the stockade overnight, and they walked away from it in a gray way, and they no longer dared to stay in the area of Huangyang, they all knew about the destruction of Xing Leopard, and God knew whether they would be found by the Xingtian Army to liquidate, so at this time, it was better to avoid the limelight and hide in another place, and naturally no one dared to worry about the materials transported back to Tianlong Village by the Xingtian Army at this time.
Therefore, the Xingtian Army returned all the way to Tianlong Village, did not encounter any accidents at all, and swaggered back to Tianlong Village, when the Xingtian Army Brigade arrived at Tianlong Village, the remaining personnel had already opened the mountain gate and greeted them from afar.
When the people who stayed behind saw that most of the people who went out to the expedition appeared in front of them safe and sound, they immediately resounded with cheers, and when they saw the mile-long full of chariots and horses loaded with various supplies, they all smiled and cheered.
And the people who went out to fight were very happy when they saw the people left behind in the village, and at the same time they felt very proud, and one by one they involuntarily straightened their waists a little, and with a smile on their heads, they passed through the people who stayed behind in these sandwiches to welcome them, and strode into the mountain gate.
When Xiao Tianjian rode his horse slowly in front of these left-behind personnel, these people even knelt down and shouted loudly: "The little one welcomes the plate back to the village!" It's hard to hold the plate! ”
Xiao Tianjian turned over and dismounted and came to these people, stretched out his hand to support them, and said loudly to them: "Everyone, please get up, I have already said that our Heavenly Army does not practice this kind of vulgar etiquette, and kneel to the sky and return to your parents, I, Xiao, can't stand your kneeling!" Get up! You stayed in the village and looked after our home, and it was hard work! Let's go back to the village and talk about it again! ”
One by one, the people who stayed behind thanked each other, and then they stood up one after another, looking at the soldiers who walked by in front of them with envy, and when they saw the hundreds of recruits who followed, they showed a look of surprise on their faces, when Xiao Tianjian led his troops away, they were only about a thousand people, but after returning from this battle, there were many more people, so these people who stayed behind shouted and greeted these recruits.
The recruits also looked curious, clasped their fists and bowed their hands to the people who welcomed them, which made many of them feel a sense of belonging, and felt that they would no longer have to wander around like lost dogs like before.
The carts with mules, horses, and oxen were loaded with all kinds of supplies, squeaking across the road, and even the soldiers who were driving the carts were all vivid, as if these things were captured by them, which was quite a bit of a show-off.
Jin Fuzi followed several big cars with his hands behind his back, with his usual smile on his face, and while greeting the people left behind on the side of the road, he said to them with a smile: "I said everyone, let's come back this time, but it is developed!" Don't forget, it's our job to keep the plate! "This old guy hasn't forgotten to win people's hearts for Xiao Tianjian anytime and anywhere.
As soon as the recruits returned to Tianlong Village, they began to help the soldiers unload the trucks, and the bags of grain were transported to the grain depot of Tianlong Village, everyone was very down-to-earth in their hearts, looking at so much food, they didn't have to worry about it for a short time, their stomachs would be hungry!
And those yellow and white things were directly unloaded into the small courtyard where Xiao Tianjian lived, stacked in several rooms, and handed over to Xiao Tianjian's personal guards to be in charge of guarding.
After Xiao Tianjian briefly arranged the affairs in the village, he personally took Fu Deming to inspect his territory.
Fu Deming also followed Xiao Tianjian back to Tianlong Village in the name of temporarily coming here to recuperate, and felt the difference here as soon as he entered the cottage, although the welcome scene was very warm, but there was no chaos in the cottage, although the soldiers who stayed behind were smiling one by one, and greeted the soldiers who came back, but they did not crowd in the crowd in a chaotic manner, but still stayed in their positions in an orderly manner, and their bodies were straight and dutifully on duty, so disciplined, Even elite officers and soldiers have a hard time doing it.
And after entering the village, everywhere he saw was clean, especially those soldiers, even after returning to the village, they did not disband themselves, but lined up neatly on the school field in the village, until the officers ordered the disbandment, they received the order loudly, and returned to their respective barracks with smiles and smiles, and placed their weapons on the weapon racks in order, everything seemed so orderly.
The more Fu Deming looked at it, the more surprised he became, as the Xingtian Army, at the moment they could only be regarded as a pole at best, but their temperament was more like an elite army, everything had their rules, even if they were resting, they didn't look messy.
It's just that the eight hundred recruits seem to be a little confused, crowded and shouldered under the beckoning of the leaders to busily arrange their quarters, and then are taken away to help unload the goods.
"Mr. Fu, take a look, are you still satisfied with my stockade?" Xiao Tianjian waved his hand to a group of soldiers who saluted him, asking them to go first, and turned his head to ask Fu Deming, who was looking curiously around.
"Orderly, well-behaved! It's no wonder that your ministry has been able to rise rapidly in the local area and win consecutive battles! Fu admires! Xiao is really handsome! Fu Deming looked at the various people around him who were busy under the leadership of their respective leaders in a joyful and orderly manner, and couldn't help but sigh and answer to Xiao Tianjian with emotion.
Xiao Tianjian really felt a little proud in his heart, he knew that no matter who it was, he would have this feeling when he first entered his Tianlong Village, but he still said modestly: "Mr. Fu praised it falsely!" Xiao led the troops but paid attention to an order! Everything has its own rules, and everything has its own rules and constraints, as long as the royal authority is strict, the orders are strict, and no matter the officers and soldiers strictly follow the rules from top to bottom, it is not difficult to achieve this! ”
"Oh? Fu listened to Xiao's accent, and he didn't seem to be from Shaanxi, but he couldn't hear Xiao's accent, and he didn't know where Xiao's hometown was? Seeing Xiao in charge, his majesty is in a good way, is it possible that Xiao was also a person in the army before he was in charge? Otherwise, why are you so proficient in the art of leading soldiers? After Fu Deming listened to Xiao Tianjian's words, he immediately asked Xiao Tianjian.
"This ......! Hehe! Xiao's parents are You Fang Langzhong, Xiao has been wandering around with his parents since he was a child, and he doesn't know where his hometown is, so his accent is also very messy, and he can't tell where he is! As for the army! Sort of it! However, Xiao can't say that he is proficient in leading soldiers, at most he only knows a little about the surface! Xiao Tianjian's experience naturally can't be known to others, even if he says it, I'm afraid no one will believe it, and maybe he will be treated as a madman, so whenever someone asks about his life experience, he is vague and confused.
Fu Deming saw that Xiao Tianjian didn't want to talk about his life experience, so he didn't ask, and pointed to the banner of the Xingtian Army standing on the edge of the school yard and asked Xiao Tianjian: "Xingtianjun!" I don't know why Master Xiao wants Xingtian as your military number? ”
Xiao Tianjian looked up at the Xingtian banner fluttering in the wind, and felt a little proud in his heart, and immediately replied: "Xiao Mou borrowed the name of Xingtian as my military number, just because he felt that Xingtian's ambition was admirable, although he faced a strong enemy, he would never give in and would not compromise!" Therefore, Xiao borrowed the name of Xingtian to inspire and encourage his soldiers to take Xingtian as their ambition! What does Mr. Fu think? ”
Fu Deming's heart trembled slightly, the people of the Middle Earth have always taken the Yellow Emperor as the ancestor, the Yellow Emperor is known as the head of the Five Emperors, and the emperors of all dynasties have taken it as orthodox, and according to legend, Xingtian is a general under the command of Chiyou, who was not convinced that Chiyou was defeated by the Yellow Emperor, and raised troops to fight against it, but was beheaded by the Yellow Emperor, to a certain extent, it is a move against the sky, but Xiao Tianjian wants to take Xingtian as the name, is it possible that he still has the idea of going against the sky in his faint heart? If that's the case, Xiao Tianjian can't help but think too much!
The surname Zhu of the Ming Dynasty has been established for nearly three hundred years, from prosperity to decline, and now the world is in chaos, and there seems to be some instability in the faint world.
Although Fu Deming has been studying since childhood, but over the years, he has also begun to be dissatisfied with the court, and he has been mourned for the officials. But because of the Li family's affairs, he was robbed of his fame, and since then he has broken off his career, when he was in the Li family's private prison, after Fu Deming learned the news that his fame was robbed, he even had the heart to die, but in the end he did not kill himself, but after a long time, he had an incomparable resentment towards the current court and the government, otherwise, this time he was released from the Li family's private prison by Xingtianjun, and he would not have taken the initiative to ask to see Xiao Tianjian!
And now, from his point of view, although Xiao Tianjian's strength is still weak, this person is secretly ambitious, and he seems to want to do something in this troubled world, which can't help but make Fu Deming's mind come alive.
"Xingtian Dance is a dry relative, and the fierce will is always there! A good name indeed! There is a pride in swallowing mountains and rivers! So dare to ask Master Xiao, what are your views on the current situation? Fu Deming turned to face Xiao Tianjian, stared into Xiao Tianjian's eyes, and suddenly asked him.
Xiao Tianjian glanced at Fu Deming, and immediately understood that Fu Deming's question was testing his thoughts, and he must have wanted to see if he was worthy of him Fu Deming to serve him, so after a faint glance at Fu Deming, he turned around and slowly walked a few steps forward, put his hands behind his back, straightened his chest and looked at the thin clouds in the sky and said proudly: "Today can be said to be swaying in the wind and rain, and the internal and external troubles of the Ming Dynasty can be said to be swaying in the wind and rain, and now the heroes in various places are rising together, if I Xiao have a chance, why can't I take advantage of the situation, What about the Central Plains one day? I think that even today's Taizu is not from a humble background, starting from recklessness, this world is inhabited by virtuous people, and the descendants of his Zhu family are unable to benefit the world, so it may not be impossible to change this day! ”
If Fu Deming heard someone say such a rebellious thing in front of him a few months ago, he would have immediately scoffed, but now he is already a little desperate for the current court, so Xiao Tianjian's words fell in his ears, and it was not so harsh, but it made him suddenly feel that this Xiao Tianjian in front of him really had a kind of arrogance that swallowed mountains and rivers, and he didn't know what to say for a while!
Xiao Tianjian turned around and looked at Fu Deming and said with a slight smile: "Xiao's rebellious words must have made Mr. Fu laugh!" However, Xiao Mou looked at the current situation, and still thought that Da Ming might not last long, I dare Mr. make a bet, it is by no means Xiao Mou's false words, the current court will not last for ten years, and it will definitely collapse! If Mr. doesn't believe it, Xiao is willing to use his head as a guarantee, if the current court does not collapse within ten years, I will tie my arms and go to the government to surrender to the government! He has an absolute grasp of this matter, in history, Li Zicheng was invaded in Beijing in the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself on the coal mountain, and the Ming Dynasty collapsed, even if he came to this era, regardless of whether it would affect the development of history, it is estimated that the fall of the Ming Dynasty is absolutely irretrievable, so he dared to say so.
Fu Deming suddenly felt that he couldn't understand this Xiao Tianjian, he was greatly shocked by Xiao Tianjian's words, not to mention that Xiao Tianjian was so arrogant that the Ming Dynasty would definitely be finished, at least he also saw that Xiao Tianjian was by no means a person who was a little rich and peaceful, this person's state of mind was definitely very big, so big that he even wanted to win the world one day.
Not to mention whether Xiao Tianjian is arrogant and arrogant, but at least this person is a person with great ambitions, so is this person worthy of his Fu Deming's service?
Fu Deming's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, he felt that he couldn't calm down anymore, now he is already a person without relatives in this world, when he was still a showman, there were still people in the village who he looked at, but now he has even taken away his fame, and he has offended the government, if he leaves now, I am afraid that he will be arrested by the government immediately on the charge of banditry, and he may not know, think about the way out in the future, he really doesn't know where to go!
Fu Deming's eyes were a little confused, he didn't dare to look at Xiao Tianjian's eyes anymore, turned his head and turned his gaze to the subordinates of the Xingtian Army who were busy in the village, and after a while, he turned his head, his eyes returned to calm again, and he suddenly grinned at the corner of his mouth.
"Oh? Does Master Xiao think that today's imperial court is so unbearable? Fu Mou is not talented, and he is really willing to make this bet with Xiao Dangjia, so let's take a ten-year appointment to see if what Xiao Dangjia expected is right or wrong! ……”
Xiao Tianjian stared at Fu Deming's eyes, and the two of them stared at each other intently, and only after a while did they look at each other and laugh.
