Sun Yuanhua hurriedly said: "Virtuous nephews should not be reckless, these are ignorant people who are being used. We must not go on a killing spree, but must focus on appeasement. ”

"Uncle Shi, don't worry, the little nephew has a way, you don't have to worry!" Zhang Dou said.

Tens of thousands of hungry people poured in at the wharf of the Dragon King Temple, and they saw the shadows of sails on the sea from a long distance. When they saw the banner of Daming fluttering in the wind, many people shed tears of excitement.

Immediately, all the people knelt on the ground, kept kowtowing, and kept shouting: "Long live my emperor, long live!" ”

Looking at the hungry people in rags, Sun Yuanhua's heart was excited. It was the first time he saw this kind of miserable situation in the world, although there were many displaced people in Dengzhou, but they were not as miserable as the Liao people in front of him.

He stood on the dock and shouted loudly: "The imperial court will not abandon the people guarding Liaodong, the imperial court is back!" ”

Zhang Dou looked at the Liao people kneeling on the beach, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart! Although the Ming Dynasty was already in turmoil, the nearly 300-year reign still made the people have certain expectations for the imperial court. As long as they can live, how can anyone come out and rebel?

What about yourself? Where is your own way out?

After Zhang Dou saw the soldiers of the Changxing Army appear on the dock, he began to give orders. Let the Liao people who do not have braids immediately start unloading the ship, and the Liao people who are unwilling to cut off the braids are likely to be the spies of Jiannu, so they will not be hired to unload the ship.

This order caused an uproar among the Liao people, although they fled to Changsheng Island. But out of fear of Jiannu, almost no one cut off the braids on their heads. After all, no one is stupid, in case Jiannu calls, they will surrender immediately and become obedient people.

It would be bad if there were no braids, in the eyes of the Jurchens, those who did not have braids were Ming people, and they had to be killed. So as soon as the order was given, everyone stopped.

They were all watching to see if others were cutting their braids as well. There was a brief cold scene on the dock for a while, and Sun Yuanhua was so angry that his face turned blue when he saw this situation. This group of people just said that they were loyal to the Ming Dynasty and the emperor, but in a blink of an eye, they didn't even want to cut off their braids.

Are these still the people of the Ming Dynasty? Sun Yuanhua was about to have a seizure on the spot, but was stopped by Zhang Dou.

"Uncle Shi! These people are just afraid of being killed by Jiannu, for fear that we will not be able to defend Changsheng Island without cutting off our braids, and will be retaliated against by Jiannu again. As long as we win a battle and prove that the Changxing Army is capable of protecting the safety of Changsheng Island, then these people will definitely take the initiative to cut off their braids. As the so-called blockage is better than sparse! Zhang Dou said.

Although Sun Yuanhua is devoted to Western studies, he is not one of those nerds who read the four books and five classics stupidly. He quickly reacted and sighed: "It's all Liaodong officials who are incompetent and can't defend their own people!" Ay! ”

Although the hungry people on the dock were hungry, they were more afraid of the revenge of the slaves in the future. Although they all stared at the grain ship without turning their eyes, no one moved.

Soon the time of a pillar of incense passed, and then half an hour passed, and even when Zhang Dou was about to lose confidence, a big man stood up. Although the woman behind him pulled him desperately, he resolutely walked up to the dock.

When he came to the grain ship, he said, "Is it possible to unload grain by cutting off the braids, and is it not to give a bag of grain to unload the grain?" ”

Zhang Dou smiled and nodded and said, "Not bad!" Cutting off the braids is my Ming people, and naturally I can contribute to the court, and the court will definitely not let my people suffer. As he spoke, he handed the big man a sharp knife.

Instead of taking the sharp knife, the tuba reached out and grabbed the tail of the money rat at the back of his head, and with a single force, he ripped off his braid. Although he kept it very different from the yin and yang head in the braided drama of later generations, he only kept money-sized hair on the back of his head, braided into a small braid like a mouse's tail.

But this one not only ripped off the braids, but also ripped off the scalp the size of a copper coin. Blood trickled down the back of his neck onto his body, but he didn't even notice it. Still striding onto the grain ship, grabbed a bag of grain, carried it effortlessly, and walked off the grain ship.

Seeing the figure of that big man, Sun Yuanhua couldn't help but admire! "What a fierce general!" He immediately asked, "The strong man's surname is great?" ”

Hearing this, the big man put down the grain, bowed down and said, "Student Gaizhou student Li Guangchun!" As soon as he finished speaking, Sun Yuanhua almost fell down on an unstable footing. It's too peaceful! Such a fierce man turned out to be a student and a scholar, can we not make trouble? Won't the barrel of the pen break with your strength?

Sun Yuanhua looked at Zhang Douqi, who was holding back his face and trembling on the side, and his shoulders were trembling. He glared at Zhang Dou and said, "Don't arrange an errand for Li Xiucai, and let Xiucai go to fight the grain bag is insulting!" Just go! ”

Zhang Dou had no choice but to say: "Li Guangchun, you can register grain here for the time being!" "There's no way, the old man has spoken, and he can only do it.

Then Zhang Dou took a 10-pound grain bag and put it in front of Li Guangchun, and said, "This is your salary!" ”

When Li Guangchun opened his pocket and saw that it was full of yellow millet, he burst into tears with excitement. He immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Zhang Dou again, and said, "The student must serve the adult, and he will never give up!" ”

After speaking, he got up and greeted the woman just now, "Xiu'e! Hurry up and take the food back to the plate to make porridge! ”

The woman named Xiu'e ran up in a few steps, and she clung to the bag with trembling hands, fearing that it would disappear if she was not careful. He had a smile on his face, but tears welling up in his eyes.

After suffering for almost two months, I finally got through.

When the others saw the real food, they also cut off their braids and ran up to unload the boat. Some Liao people who started late and had no place refused to leave. They held their cut braids in their hands and shouted: "We are also the people of the Ming Dynasty, and we will also unload the ship!" ”

Later, Zhang Dou arranged for these people to transport grain to Changxinggou, and these Liao people did not need to be pulled by cars. In this way, they carried the grain on their backs and walked towards Changxinggou step by step. There were even some women, who could not carry whole sacks of grain, or in groups of two or three, who also joined the army of grain transporters.

In the face of the positive Liao people, Zhang Dou did not stop the Liao people's actions. Although using a car to pull will save a lot of food, Zhang Dou's purpose is not to transport grain, he wants to give a sweetness to those who are willing to contribute to Changsheng Island and the Changxing Army. As for the grain, it should have been given to them.

After this lesson, Zhang Dou felt that he could no longer give food to the people of Liao for free. As the so-called Shengmien and Doumien, the Liao people must contribute to get food, instead of rightfully feeling that they owe them, they should support them.

Then Zhang Dou announced that it would start tomorrow. The imperial court wants to start building Changsheng Island, and as long as you are willing to make efforts, you can get food. Everyone can participate in the construction of Changsheng Island, and the porridge shack will be canceled from tomorrow. All people must participate in labor if they want to eat, without exception.

There is an order in the front to get food if you exert your strength, and there is no objection to the cancellation of the porridge shed in the back.

But in the crowd, there were pairs of resentful eyes staring at Zhang Dou. The original plan was seamless, as long as he worked harder, he could take over the power of Changsheng Island, but in the end, it fell short because of Zhang Dou's return.

Unwilling to fail, they were afraid that Zhang Dou would find their back account, so they gathered together one by one and began to mumble quietly.

Sun Youcai, who was sitting at home, hummed a little song and lay on the kang enjoying the service of the two little maids. From time to time, he reached out and touched the maid's chest, causing the maid to scream for a while.

At this time, a family member ran in in a panic. As soon as he entered the room, he shouted loudly: "The master is finished! It's over! ”

Sun Youcai was enjoying the maid's service, and he was disturbed coldly, and he was in a bad mood. was then told by this family member that the old man was angry, he picked up the purple clay pot on the kang table and smashed it, "Master, I live so well, I dare to curse the master and kill me, kill you dog slave!" ”

The man was hit on the forehead by a teapot, and immediately blood and tea flowed all over his face. But he didn't dare to wipe it, so he could only kowtow vigorously and beg for mercy.

After a while, Sun Youcai's anger disappeared a little, and then he said, "What a fuss! There are no rules at all, and when the sky falls, there is a master and I will stand on it! Go ahead! What's up? ”

The family didn't dare to hide it, and told Zhang Dou about inviting the imperial court fleet to bring a large amount of food to help the hungry. Sun Youcai was still light and light at the beginning, and he didn't care. When he heard that Zhang Dou had brought a large amount of food, he couldn't sit still.

He knew that Zhang Dou would not let them go, and if he didn't do it, he would be ruined with his family. He paced back and forth in the room, and after walking for a while, a very spicy look appeared in his eyes.

"Zhang Dou, since you are back, Changsheng Island is where you bury your bones!"
