Zhu Hongsan's temporary residence was on the playground next to the yamen of the state capital. On the side is the station of the left battalion Jin Shenghuan's army.

Ma Rufeng led Zhu Hongsan and Zhu Hongyi to the gate of the camp and said, "Uncle is here, and the little nephew won't go in." ”

Zhu Hongsan said with a smile: "Like the wind, why don't you come in when you get to the door." It's time to eat, so come in and go back after eating. ”

Ma Rufeng was afraid that he would be scolded by his father for getting too close to Zhu Hongsan, so he was hesitating. Zhu Hongsan said: "Don't be afraid of your rigid father, come in with me." If your father wants to say anything, say I pulled you in. ”

Ma Rufeng heard Zhu Hongsan say this, and he did have a good conversation with Zhu Hongsan. After hesitating, he and Zhu Hongsan walked into the camp gate.

When I went in, I saw that everyone had already set up their tents. Now in the middle of the camp waiting in line for food.

Ma Rufeng is also a soldier, so he naturally knows what virtues the officers and soldiers have. That's all about grabbing, and no one is pitiful if you can't grab it. The first time I saw the rules and regulations lining up for dinner.

Zhu Hongsan stepped forward to look at the pot and said to Ma Rufeng: "The virtuous nephew has a good meal today, beef stewed radish." There is also a cabbage soup with beef bones. The staple food is rice and steamed buns. "There are a large number of northern refugees in Zhu Hongsan's team, so the staple food is divided into two types.

Ma Rufeng was stunned. Beef? It was illegal to eat beef in the Ming Dynasty. hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Uncle, it's not appropriate to eat beef." ”

Zhu Hongsan said with a smile: "It's nothing, a small village was destroyed a few days ago, this is dead beef, if you don't eat it, it will be wasted." ”

Ma Rufeng broke out in a cold sweat when he heard Zhu Hongsan say this. A village is extinguished, to put it mildly. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Zhu Hongsan and Zhu Hongyi picking up the tableware and lining up to eat.

Ma Rufeng asked, "Uncle, as a presiding officer, you also eat the same as a soldier?" ”

Zhu Hongsan said with a smile: "They are all brothers on the battlefield, and my back depends on them to protect me, how can I not eat and live with them." After speaking, he patted an ordinary soldier in front of him and asked, "Lao Wang, what do you say?" ”

In front of Zhu Hongsan was the scout captain Wang Xiaobao. turned back to Ma Rufeng and said, "The chief is right, eating in a spoon is a brother." ”

Zhu Hongsan pulled Ma Rufeng to finish the meal and sat down at an empty table on the side to eat together.

Ma Rufeng saw his own meal, a plate of beef stewed radish, and there were five or six pieces of beef, each of which was the size of an egg. A bowl of cabbage soup, stewed with beef bones, tastes very delicious (Ma Rufeng didn't know that Zhu Hongsan was added to it to get MSG soy sauce). The staple food is two large steamed buns.

Zhu Hongsan looked at Ma Rufeng and didn't eat, and said, "Why is it unappetizing?" And the rice, why don't you change it? ”

Ma Rufeng said: "No, uncle, I can eat steamed buns." Do you eat these things every day? ”

Zhu Hongsan said: "This is outside, because it is simple. If you are at home, except for one meat and one vegetable, no four people should have a chicken. The staple esophagus is full. Or three meals a day. ”

Ma Rufeng stammered: "Three meals? Uncle, do you know? Only the landlord's family was allowed to eat three meals. In the city, only the soldiers could cook two meals a day. There's no meat yet, and you can only eat a little meat when you're fighting. You're too extravagant, aren't you? ”

Zhu Hongsan said: "You said that it was a job for the emperor. I'm paying for it myself, and of course I have to eat well for my life. In fact, it doesn't cost a lot of money to eat, I have built my own pig farm and chicken farm, and the output is enough every day. Your uncle has money. ”

Ma Rufeng knew that this uncle and his family jointly resold weapons and steel, but he didn't expect to be so rich. Hearing Zhu Hongsan say this, he didn't say anything, after all, he spent his own money to support his family.

Ma Rufeng didn't know how many families Zhu Hongsan had, he thought that there were only eight or nine hundred people, if he knew that there were three thousand people under Zhu Hongsan now, he would be surprised, how much would it cost to eat like this every day.

Ma Rufeng watched Zhu Hongsan and Zhu Hongyi let go of the munch, the egg-sized beef cubes Zhu Hongyi took one bite at a time, and the rice was two bites and a bowl. The horse that looked at it was like the wind and broke out in a cold sweat.

Zhu Hongsan smiled and said, "Virtuous nephew, this is my cousin, and now it is my eldest brother." You can also call it Big Brother. ”

Ma Rufeng shouted Brother Zhu, and Zhu Hongyi nodded. I got up and went to fill a plate full of beef, and then I ate it. After a while, the three of them finished eating. Zhu Hongyi ate more than the two of them combined. However, Ma Rufeng looked at Zhu Hongyi's height, which was seven or eight feet (one foot in the Ming Dynasty was equivalent to 0.283 meters, which was shorter than the modern ruler), and it was almost the same to eat so much.

Zhu Hongsan was about to talk to Ma Rufeng after eating, when there was a noise at the gate of the camp. After a while, Tong Yangjia came. Zhu Hongsan knew that he had been beaten as soon as he saw Tong Yangjia coming over with two panda eyes, so he stood up and asked, "What's the matter, sir?" ”

Tong Yangjia stepped forward and said, "Lord, there are officers and soldiers of the left battalion outside, they smell the aroma of our food and want to rush in to grab the food." I went to theorize with them and was beaten. ”

Damn it, someone who dares to hit me. Zhu Hongsan was angry when he heard this, stood up and said, "Big brother, call a few people who have finished eating, let's go and see, who the hell is rushing to reincarnate." ”

Zhu Hongyi called Wang Xiaobao and a dozen others to follow Zhu Hongsan to the door, Ma Rufeng heard that it was someone from Zuoying, and he was afraid that something would happen and he followed behind.

Zhu Hongsan went to the door and saw more than 200 people standing outside the door, led by an obscene petty official (Zhu Hongsan didn't know the color of the Ming army's uniform).

Zhu Hongsan stepped forward and asked, "Who the hell hit someone just now?" ”

The little official smiled and said, "There is a rabbit master who looks so white." Did you buy the butt? ”

Zhu Hongsan said with a smile: "The soldiers of the left battalion really went up and down, Zuo Liangyu started by buying butts back then, but I didn't expect you soldiers to know about it." ”

Zuo Liangyu turned out to be a soldier in Liaodong, and he had to be beheaded if he committed a crime. It was Hou Sui, who was the head of the household department at the time, who discovered that Zuo Liangyu was a talent. to save him. Because Zuo Liangyu has a slender body and a very beautiful appearance. So some people rumored that Zuo Liangyu was able to save his life by buying his ass for Hou Sui. This kind of gossip is more and more evil the farther it goes, and in the end, it is said that the whole country is in the north and south. Zuo Liangyu was so angry that he couldn't help it.

Today, when the petty official heard Zhu Hongsan say this, his face turned green with anger.

Wang Xiaobao on Zhu Hong's three sides said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to be a rabbit and lead a group of rabbits, no wonder Zhang Xianzhong ran all over the world." The crowd burst into laughter.

The little official pointed at Zhu Hongsan and said, "You... You.. Dare to insult my handsome, you don't want to live. After speaking, he went up and gave Zhu Hongsan a mouthful.

Zhu Hongsan didn't pay attention, this mouth was sturdy. Zhu Hongsan has never been beaten since he was born, and he was stunned by the slap. Zhu Hongyi on the side stepped forward and vomited blood.

At this time, Zhu Hongsan reacted, gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it, dare to beat me, I want your life." Beat me up these bastards. ”

The soldiers behind him saw Zhu Hongsan being beaten, and Wang Xiaobao was the first to jump out and punch and kick the little official. As soon as the other party's left battalion saw that it had moved, it also rushed up to fight.

Zhu Hongsan ran out under Zhu Hongyi's escort, and saw that the number of people on his side was too small, and he was pressed and beaten by the other party, Wang Xiaobao was lying on the ground with his head in his arms and was kicked by seven or eight people. Zhu Hongsanqi's eyes were red, and he said to Zhu Hongyi: "Blow the trumpet, assemble urgently, and take a weapon to kill these bastards for me." ”

Zhu Hongyi took the order and went, and after a while, the assembly horn sounded in the barracks. The assembly number is three long and two short, which is the most urgent military order in Zhu Hong's third battalion, and those who fail to assemble five times will be beheaded.

After a while, Zhao Guodong led a battalion of people who were full of people to the door. Zhao Guodong saw that his brother was beaten violently, and Zhu Hongsan's face was swollen. Immediately ordered the pikes to form an attack formation and rushed towards the opposite side.

The people of the left battalion are fighting refreshmently. More than 200 people played more than a dozen of them, which was naturally enjoyable. I didn't pay attention to the other party's reinforcements coming from behind.

The little official in the lead was kicked by Zhu Hongyi and vomited blood at first, and then he was beaten by Wang Xiaobao for a series of feet, and at this time he just recovered his breath and shouted in the back: "Give me a fight to the death, and I will be supported by General Jin to death." As he was talking, Zhu Hongsan's spear battalion arrived, stabbed the people in the left battalion, and immediately stabbed more than 20 to death. The petty official was left behind.

When the petty officer saw that his own people had run away, he was left alone, and hurriedly shouted: "You can't kill me, I am a relative of General Jin." ”

Zhu Hongsan touched his face and got up, and scolded: "Your mother, kiss your grandmother, today you are Jin Shenghuan's father." ”

Zhu Hongsan said to Zhu Hongyi: "Big brother, chop it up for him and let it dry." ”

Zhu Hongyi nodded, stepped forward and flashed with a horizontal knife, first chopped off his limbs, and then slashed open from his stomach, the little official's intestines flowed all over the ground, his limbs were gone, and he rolled all over the ground, and he died of blood after a while.

At this time, Ma Rufeng got up from the ground, and he was beaten as Zhu Hongsan's person just now. got up and saw the miserable situation of the little official, and shouted: "Uncle, you are in trouble, this guy is really Jin Shenghuan's brother-in-law." What can I do? ”

Zhu Hongsan ignored him, and saw that two of his brothers had just been killed, and Wang Xiaobao, who was the first to rush up, was beaten unconscious. Zhu Hongsan was really furious. The order said: "Zhao Guodong, lead people to break through the camp of the left camp, we have killed two brothers, and let them take out 200 people to pay for their lives." ”

Zhao Guodong commanded: "Yes, sir! After speaking, he rushed to the left camp on the side with a battalion of men and horses.

When I arrived at the gate, I saw that the camp gate was closed, and probably the people who had come back just now received the news. Zhao Guodong said: "Sword and shield soldiers, two * grenades blow open the camp gate. ”

Two hand* grenades flew out from the side to blow up the camp gate, and Zhao Guodong led the people to rush into the left camp.

The men and horses of the left battalion could not catch up with Zhu Hongsan's men and horses in terms of combat effectiveness, and they were caught off guard. Immediately the ghost cried wolf. After rushing in, Zhao Guodong ordered a melee formation, with a group of seven or eight people, with three pikemen inside and five sword and shield soldiers outside. Kill people when they see them, and burn tents when they see them. For a while, Xinyang City was like a rogue entering the city, shouting and killing were everywhere.

Zhu Hongsan and Zhu Hongyi stood at the door, watching their subordinates burn and kill. Zhu Hongsan was relieved in his heart.

was looking at someone on the side shouting, Zhu Hongsan, what are you doing, quickly let your people stop, do you want to rebel?
