Chapter 40: Promise by example
It doesn't matter if it's fear or nowhere to go, no one is gone, and there is no squeak.
"Looks like they can stay!" After saying that, looking at the dozen or so women who were also kneeling, Zhang Zhen asked, "What's the matter with you?" ”
Led by a woman in her thirties, she cried: "Back to the uncle, the slave family was killed by the owner of this water kou village, only the little daughter in front of me is left to depend on each other, this famine years, I am afraid that the family business is gone, the slave family and the mother really have no place to go, if the uncle does not give up, the slave family is willing to serve the master for the slave." ”
Without waiting for Zhang Zhen to agree, the young woman behind said: "Uncle's life-saving grace, the little woman has nothing to repay, she can only promise to serve the uncle in this life and this life." ”
"The little girl is also willing to make a promise!"
Originally, the two of them looked very pitiful, Zhang Zhen also had sympathy, and was hesitating, and everyone else began to promise each other, which gave Zhang Zhen a headache.
The reason is nothing else, or the promise that reminds him of a joke in the afterlife.
It is said that in ancient times, heroes saved beauties, and if they were handsome, the beauties would say with a shy: "The grace of saving her life, the little woman has nothing to repay, but to promise herself."
If you are not handsome, she will say: "The grace of saving her life, the little girl has nothing to repay, but to be a cow and a horse in the next life to repay this great kindness."
The image of the woman is good, and the hero will say: "Is this true? ”
If the woman's image is not good, she will say, "Girl, don't do it." ”
This joke was a joy before the crossing, who would have thought that it would happen to him after the crossing, Zhang Zhen was quite speechless.
At the same time, Zhang Zhen also understands that he has crossed over the starving ghost, although the weight gain plan has been adhered to, there is still a little gap from the handsome, and it should be almost the same if he makes up for it for another month.
In other words, at this time, what they value is not their appearance at all, that is, the strength that everyone under them will never hesitate to give an order.
Women want to find someone to rely on in troubled times, which is understandable, the key is sympathy, there is that joke in front, but Zhang Zhen is disgusted.
The most important thing is that these women were robbed by the water bandits, can they still have a complete life? I don't know how many times I've been ruined by those leaders!
Of course, Zhang Zhen definitely couldn't show it, and said with a bitter face: "Thank you for your kindness, I understand, but I have a wife at home, I really don't dare to mess with flowers and grass, let alone marry a wife and take a concubine, don't mention this promise to me again." ”
Pretending to be unwilling, he glanced around, and suddenly said: "There are more than 200 good men here, and I can send 200 good men tomorrow night, that is, forty to one, it's not far from one in a hundred, if you have a favorite, this young master will give you a marriage!" ”
Zhang Zhen prevaricated that he had a wife, and the women were naturally disappointed, but after listening to Zhang Zhen's words, hope was ignited again.
The women looked at the man, and the man was not the same, except for those who did not move, although the original Shui Kou was kneeling one by one, they all held their heads high at this time.
Zhang Zhen smiled when he saw this: "I'll leave the words here today, the obedient ones will give the daughter-in-law a room, and the disobedient ones will still live in Datong and beat the singles!" Got it? ”
"Understand !!"
"Let's listen to the owner of the village! Definitely obedient! The owner of the village let me go east, I will never go west! Let me...."
Most of the water robbers fled to the vicinity of Zhaoyang Lake, and then were collected by the former village owner, there was nothing, and the leaders enjoyed the robbery of the girls in the past, and there was no chance to get involved.
Now there is finally a village owner who is not close to women, and he promised to help these women get married to their liking, and even give them a room, where to find this good thing, one by one happily agreed, everyone with hope, the scene was extraordinarily lively.
Zhang Zhen smiled with satisfaction: "It's so best, let's get up!" ”
After getting up, everyone looked at Zhang Zhen eagerly, and of course glanced at the group of girls from time to time.
Zhang Zhen is also satisfied with their performance, after all, with their active pursuit, they will not be confused and marry the remnants of the willows, this is their own dead man, how can they also have an innocent woman from a good family to marry in the future, otherwise their lord will be in vain.
Zhang Zhen asked, "How much grain do we have on the trapped dragon beach?" ”
A man who looked like a scribe approached and said, "The silver money is about three thousand two hundred taels, the white rice is one thousand hundred stones, and the white flour is nine thousand seven hundred stones." ”
100,000 catties of rice noodles, the most on this canal is rice boats, and the result is just such a little rice, and the white noodles are nearly ten times that of rice.
It turned out that the owner of the village said that there was a master, and everyone still had some thoughts, thinking that it was a pretext for preserving the mountain and water village, that is, when the dead ghost opened his mouth to call his cronies, people were still looking forward to being able to point to their own name, and no one thought that the gap between rice and noodles was so big, this is still the result of the northerners being used to eating pasta, and rice can't be eaten several times a month!
was really used as a gun, and everyone looked at the puddles of flesh and blood on the ground, and there was hatred in their eyes, and a few people who were close to the corpse spit a few mouthfuls of phlegm.
"Phew!"
"Phew! used Lao Tzu as a cow and a horse as a knife, and deceived Lao Tzu for several years! I have always been loyal, even if you die early, don't let Lao Tzu know which master you are? Knowing that Lao Tzu killed him! ”
was interrupted, and a mouthful of Lao Tzu, Zhang Zhen understood that this person was sad and angry, a typical brainless loyal servant, this kind of person is no worse than a dead man if he uses it well, of course Zhang Zhen will not mind.
Not minding doesn't mean that Zhang Zhen won't hint at it thoroughly and give hatred to some people.
Zhang Zhen said with a smile: "Actually, the master of the former owner of the village is not difficult to guess, you think, the peer is an enemy, specializing in white noodles, either a rice-faced wealthy merchant or a big landlord in our north, every time the encirclement and suppression are taken care of by the government, the wealthy businessman is not so big-faced, so they are not very likely, then there is only one landlord left, can arrange six henchmen to do this, and there is tracking, right?" There must be someone else who will pass it on, right? That's at least ten people. ”
"There are manpower, and the government is taking care of them, and there are only a few big landlords within thousands of miles around here?"
Zhang Zhen induced some people to pull hatred, and divided all the men into four teams, let the four old Tan people serve as the leaders, and ordered to pick up the rest of the people back tomorrow night, he collected nine rubber boats, and docked on the rubber boats.
Sailing against the current is not easy enough to walk, is it? Even if you want to go around the lake, you have to walk an extra twenty or thirty miles.
Halfway through, Yang Hanlin couldn't help but ask, "Lord, who is this big landlord?" My subordinates really couldn't guess who had such great ability, and I, an official of the government, had never heard any rumors. ”
Zhang Zhen smiled casually: "Except for the emperor, you can guess it!" ”
Xia Zhongyong, who was on the side, saw that Lao Yang asked, and he couldn't help asking: "Lord, after being discovered, your shouting is the way to govern the army?" ”
As soon as he heard this, Zhang Zhen got up, and he didn't leave, and instructed by the moonlight: "Lao Xia, Huang He, remember that I also shouted when I killed Su Shuangqian, right?" ”
Seeing the two nodding, Zhang Zhen said solemnly: "What is the way to govern the army these two times, but it is just to take advantage of people's luck psychology, Su Shuangqian seems to be 'kneeling and not killing, and those who resist will not be killed!'" 'This trapped dragon beach is' the government takes people! Death to the rebels! Kneel and don't kill! 'You think, people are under fear, if there is no way to live, they will fight hard, once there is a choice, instinctively will seek good luck and avoid evil, and choose the one that sounds safer! It's a lot easier for us to do it. ”
"Remember!" Zhang Zhen said very seriously: "After the rebellion, you two must be my generals, there are thousands of people on the battlefield, and on the battlefield, the most important thing to have is luck!" ”
"If you want to win, you rely on long-term rigorous training, on the attention and favor of superiors, on the generals' orders and prohibitions, on the excellence of ordnance, and on the confidence and military prestige accumulated by victories again and again."
"Withholding military salaries, grain and grass to fill their own pockets, shoddy ordnance is shoddy, and generals take the lead in fleeing without a fight, these three actions are dereliction of duty with the lives of soldiers and the burial of national fortune, and should be punished for treason! Death penalty! If the impact or consequences are bad, the strain will be !! ”
