When Zhang Shihua and Yang Er chatted for about half an hour, Brother Donkey and Brother Lu also returned to the manor with the men who had completed their training. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
As soon as the two returned to the manor, Liu Sanlang, who was guarding the gate, told them the news that Zhang Shihua had come to the manor.
When the two arrived in the lobby, they saw Zhang Shihua sitting on the main seat, and hurriedly saluted Zhang Shihua and said: The villain greets the eldest young master.
After Zhang Shihua smiled and asked the two to be polite, he ordered the two to sit down, and after the two sat down, Zhang Shihua first greeted the two of them with care, and then chatted with the two for a while.
And when it was time for lunch, Zhang Shihua gathered the men who were above the chief, such as Zhou Tie, Xu Gan, Yang Er, etc. I had a meal with the others.
At the dinner table, Zhang Shihua also showed a meticulous care for these men.
After eating, Zhang Shihua held a juju competition here in the afternoon, and when the time was close to evening, Zhang Shihua and the others left Dazhang Village under the farewell of Donkey Brother Luge.
And when Zhang Shihua and the others were riding their horses to the county seat, in the study of Zhang Liewu of the Zhang family, the Zhang Liewu brothers also chatted with relaxed expressions.
Hey, after a month of busy work, I can be regarded as sending all the summer taxes, and I can finally easily live for two days. Zhang Liewen held a teacup in his hand, crossed Erlang's legs, and sighed comfortably.
And Zhang Liewu beside him was also holding a cup of tea at this time, hearing his brother's words, Zhang Liewu took a sip of tea, and said to Zhang Liewen with a smile: The summer tax is over, we are also relaxed, the tenth day of April is Bochang's marriage, and then it is time to take care of Bochang's marriage.
Hey, time flies really fast, and in a blink of an eye, Bochang is an adult and marries a wife. Zhang Liewen couldn't help but sigh when he heard his eldest brother's words.
Yes, we are all old in a blink of an eye, by the way, I haven't seen Bochang for a day today, where did he go? Zhang Liewu said.
Hearing his eldest brother's question, Zhang Liewen replied: I should go to the manor in Dazhang Village again.
Oh, Zhang Liewu nodded when he heard his brother's words.
Then Zhang Liewu did not continue this topic, but talked to Zhang Liewen about other things.
=========================================
Time flies by day by day, in the blink of an eye to the fourth day of the fourth lunar month of the eleventh year of Zhizheng, on this day the Yuanmeng court officially appointed "Han Jialu as the Ministry of Industry and the general management of the river defense envoy" fully responsible for the governance of the Yellow River, and at the same time forcibly conscripted Bianliang, Daimyo and other 13 road people a total of 150,000 people to repair the Yellow River, for a time the world shook the people's resentment boiling.
Bianliang Road, formerly Wu County.
"Please don't take my son away, my son is only sixteen years old this year, I am such a son, I beg you, I kneel for you." An old woman with a wrinkled face knelt on the ground, holding by her hand the tall servant who had come to forcibly recruit the people, and the hoarse supplicants were supplied.
And the old woman's son, who had grown thin and small because of perennial malnutrition, looked like a child of thirteen or fourteen years old, though he was sixteen years old this year, and was bound by the rope of the servant, and looked even more thin.
At this time, when the old woman's son saw his mother like this, he also shouted hoarsely: "Mother, mother." "The tragic separation of mother and child is unbearable.
Seeing this, the officer had no compassion at all, but saw him kick away the kneeling old woman on the ground, and hit the young man who was going to fight with him on the lower abdomen with another stick, and shouted and scolded: "Your mother, what is the ghost called, and you didn't want your son's life, and after the Yellow River is completed, you will release your son back, if you dare to entangle again, don't blame the labor and management for being polite." ”
After saying that, he lifted the young man who was lying on the ground, like carrying an animal, and pulled the young man away.
Although the surrounding people could not bear to see this, no one dared to stop it, only the old woman lay on the ground, and kept calling her son's name.
And this scene is not only happening here, a similar scene is almost everywhere on both sides of the Yellow River, the separation of mother and son, father and son, husband and wife, this scene of family tragedy is staged on both sides of the Yellow River almost every moment.
In order to avoid forced conscription, countless people had to leave their ancestral homes, give up their precious land, and evade the forced conscription of the imperial court like fleeing victims.
In the process of fleeing like this, life is so low, people are like pigs and dogs, in order to survive, they have to abandon all their bottom lines, become commodities with straw labels on their heads, or become robbers who have lost their humanity.
The fate of those people who were forcibly conscripted by the imperial court was even more tragic, the money allocated by the imperial court and the taxes collected became less and less after the handling of one "imperial court official" after another, and those people who were forcibly conscripted seemed to be reduced to their feast, they were like a group of greedy hyenas, devouring the last drop of blood on the forcibly conscripted people and gnawing on the last piece of meat.
Countless ordinary people and husbands were exploited and killed by the greedy bureaucrats before they arrived at the construction site to control the Yellow River.
The countless white bones on the official roads on both sides of the Yellow River seem to be silently telling pedestrians about this hellish world.
As we often say, where there is oppression, there is resistance, and the Yuanmeng court can turn a blind eye to this monstrous resentment, but others will not, especially those "righteous people" who have great hatred for the Yuanmeng people and are bent on overthrowing the brutal rule of the Yuanmeng people.
==============================================================
In a very inconspicuous courtyard in YN County, Quang Binh Road, Zhongshu Province, several middle-aged men wearing brocade clothes and extraordinary bearings were talking.
One of them, a burly man with a Chinese character face, respectfully bowed to a middle-aged man who seemed to be a rich and noble member on the opposite side: "Sect Leader, the sect members of HB Zhulu are ready, just wait for the sect leader to give an order, 100,000 sect members will rise up, and when the time comes, under the leadership of the sect leader, my sect will definitely be able to conquer the Yuan capital in one fell swoop, overthrow the Tartars and rebuild the Han family." ”
When the sect leader heard this, he couldn't help but smile on his face, and then he immediately put away the smile on his face, and turned to the others in the courtyard with a sad and indignant face: "Yuanmeng Tartar, leading beasts to eat people, perverse, so that the people of the world are not happy, Bodhisattva Maitreya can't bear the suffering of the people of the world, so he specially ordered the sect leader to go down to earth, incarnate as the king of Ming, save the people in fire and water, now the time has come, the Tartar destiny is over, three days later, the sect leader will follow the will of heaven, rebel army, overthrow Yuanmeng in one fell swoop, and return the world to a peaceful and prosperous world." ”
After saying these words, the man put on a smiling face and said to the people in the courtyard: "If this sect leader achieves great things, you will be from the dragon hero, and this sect master will definitely not treat you badly when the time comes." ”
Hearing his words, everyone in the courtyard bowed and said: Swear allegiance to King Ming, the Holy Religion will be passed on forever, and Long live King Ming.
Han Shantong, who claimed to be the king of Ming, couldn't help laughing when he heard everyone's words, as if he had been in a yellow robe and was on the ninety-five.
And in the midst of the laughter, he didn't notice the strange look and expression in the eyes of the person kneeling below.
That night, when Han Shantong fell asleep with the emperor's dream, the big man with the Chinese character face during the day couldn't sleep.
Liu Futong is the big man with the national character face during the day, he is independent of the courtyard in his clothes, looking up at the starry sky in the sky, his heart is full of excitement before the revenge, this strong sense of excitement really makes him unable to sleep.
It's been almost three years, I've been waiting for almost three years, and I've finally waited for this day. Liu Futong thought so in his heart.
Then Liu Futong couldn't help but recall his previous life, he was born in the "Yingshang" and also on the "Yingshang", at that time their Liu family was a wealthy family of the powerful family, so before the youth, he had always lived a happy life without worrying about food and clothing, and because he was so young, he was always full of curiosity and yearning for the unknown world, and because of this curiosity, he liked to make friends, and his family also gave him the ability to make different friends.
At that time, no matter what the three religions and nine streams, as long as he could talk to him Liu Futong, he was willing to make friends with him, and under this coming, he Liu Futong had more and more friends, and through the introduction of these friends, Liu Futong became more and more yearning for the outside world, he didn't want to be like his father, living in such a small state and county all his life, living the life of the so-called rich man.
So gradually Liu Futong gave birth to an ambition, he wanted to be an official, because only in this way can he appreciate the wonder of this world, with the ability to express the revenge in his heart, so the young Liu Futong became an inspector through family relations, although only the youngest from the nine officials, but at that time he was extremely confident, he believed that with his own skills, he would definitely have a day of soaring.
However, the ruthless reality mercilessly gave Liu Futong, who was full of confidence at that time, a heavy punch, he was too naïve at that time, he naively thought that as long as he was upright and law-abiding, he would definitely be affirmed by his boss, but he did not expect that when all the officials were corrupt and degenerate, his integrity and righteousness made him a complete outlier, and then he couldn't stand the dark and dirty officialdom, and resigned in anger and returned to his hometown.
But not everyone in the world is blind, although Liu Futong resigned and returned to his hometown, Liu Futong's official integrity is widely spread among the people at the bottom.
More and more people found Liu Futong and wanted to make friends with him, including many people like Liu Futong who had ambitions and could not stretch, or were hostile to the Yuanmeng court, that is, at that time, Liu Futong gradually became resentful of the Yuanmeng court because his ambition could not be realized, but Liu Futong never thought of rebelling, after all, Liu Futong was also born in the landlord class, and it was impossible to shout that he wanted to rebel because of this kind of thing.
What really strengthened his resolve to rebel was an incident that happened three years ago.
