Chapter 10: Parting Ways

Facing the angry Yang He, Hong Chengchou was expressionless and fearless.

"My lord, the appeasement strategy is not feasible." Before leaving, Hong Chengchou said without scruples: "The people are robbing because of the famine, and after the looting, the banditry has become a success. However, if the court is powerless, how can the thieves be cared for? When the time comes, it will be repeated. If you are implicated in this, it will begin today. ”

Yang He reprimanded righteously: "The public heart is ruthless, and it may not be the blessing of the people of the court." The displaced people are also the people of the Ming Dynasty, how can they be wantonly slaughtered? If no one is at fault, just change it. What does the public think of the people of the world as such an act? Where is the face of the imperial court? What is the use of making kings of hearts? ”

Hong Chengchou shook his head, stopped arguing, and left steadily. Although he did not agree with Yang He's strategy, Hong Chengchou still admired Yang He's character and integrity.

………………

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I know that you have a last resort, so you have acted inappropriately. However, God has the virtue of a good life, and now there is also compassion for the people. ”

"Thou shalt bow thy head at once, and thou shalt not blame the past. The imperial court also gave severance silver. Those who have nowhere to go will be placed by the imperial court. ”

"Hope that you will do the right thing, and do not mistake yourself......"

Below are the two bright red seals of "Trilateral Governor" and "Yang Xiuling Seal".

As soon as Butcher Hong left, Zhu Shunming's tense nerves relaxed slightly. After receiving Yang He's letter of persuasion, Zhu Shunming convened everyone to discuss.

"I will never be recruited by the official dogs," Hao Yongzhong hung his arms and objected very firmly: "My family was forced to death by the official dogs, if I don't kill all the officials and dogs, how can I have the face to see my father?" ”

Hao Yongzhong has a firm position, is brave and good at fighting, and the biggest problem is that he is greedy for good wine.

As a wounded, he showed extreme courage and outstandingness in this defensive battle, hanging one arm and wielding a wrought iron stick with one hand, waiting for three or five officers and soldiers not to think of approaching him.

"I went into the mountains to find a team, and resolutely fought with the officials and dogs to the end." Hao Yongzhong looked excited.

Zhu Shunming looked at Tian Jianxiu.

Zhu Shunming's people, his family, his family, and the remaining nine teams of soldiers with less than 100 soldiers are all in his sight.

It was Li Zicheng's people who needed to be negotiated, including his family and the surviving wounded soldiers of the old battalion. These people have old qualifications and special status, and Zhu Shunming has to deal with them carefully.

Tian Jianxiu looked around and hesitated: "We are all people who break into the team, and sooner or later we will return to break into the team." This time the officers and soldiers are recruited, we might as well plan the plan, pretend to be cared for first, find an opportunity to contact the adults, and let the adults arrange. ”

Zhu Shunming didn't expect Li Zicheng to have such cohesion, and what everyone thought of after getting out of trouble was to meet him.

Zhu Shunming couldn't see whether he was happy or angry, and said slowly: "All of you here are comrades-in-arms who have had a fateful friendship. I, Zhu Laojiu, said slightly, so I won't say much. ”

"Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan, Anhui, and Beizhili are all heavily guarded by the imperial court, and I don't plan to stay."

"After this escape, I plan to go south. If you are willing to go south with me, welcome. If you want to find the intruder, I will send you a tray of food. ”

Saying that, Zhu Shunming's expression became stern, and his tone was cold: "There is no banquet in the world that will not be dispersed. If it is unpleasant, Lao Tzu's stick can kill officers and soldiers, and it is ......not impossible to kill a few thieves if it is unpleasant."

Liu Zongmin's face was already black, but now it is even more black.

He stood up and said angrily: "Zhu Laojiu, the team treats you well, you actually want to betray the team?" ”

Liu Zongmin was poor when he was a child and his parents died early, and he was born with hatred for the imperial court.

After following Li Zicheng, he can arbitrarily slaughter the bureaucratic landlords who were once high-ranking in the past, and he can wantonly play with the ladies who can only be watched from a distance in the past, how could Liu Zongmin be willing to give up such a colorful life?

Liu Zongmin is rebellious and violent, tenacious and cruel, unwilling to be subservient, how could he be willing to follow Zhu Shunming, a hairy boy?

Liu Zongmin also coveted Zhu Shunming's belongings, especially the "melon" that had been proven by the war.

Zhu Shunming glanced at Liu Zongmin and said disdainfully: "How are you doing?" Do you dare to do it? ”

Liu Zongmin swelled into black and purple, his fists were clenched, he trembled with anger, and he didn't dare to make a move.

In the previous battle, Zhu Shunming was too impressive. Zhu Shunming, who wore three sets of armor, crushed the enemy back and forth on the wall, and there was no one in the official army.

Although Liu Zongmin was born in iron and has a lot of strength and temper, he also thinks that he is not Zhu Shunming's opponent.

The meeting broke up.

………………

Zhu Shunming agreed to Yang He's appeasement, and at the same time proposed that there was no need for the court to draw land for resettlement, nor for the court to dismiss silver, but only for the court to open a way out and allow him to lead his family to the south to make a living on his own.

Yang He hesitated.

The imperial court painted the land to settle the displaced people, of course, there was a sense of surveillance. If the displaced people are allowed to go south, if the first-class people make waves again in the south, they will die.

But a few words in Zhu Shunming's letter moved Yang He.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Cang Liao knows etiquette from the truth. The small people go thousands of miles, that is, they are trees without roots and water without sources. If you do treachery, you will not respond......"

There were not many people in Zhu Shunming who went south, less than 200, and many of them were old, weak, women and children who were disabled, so they didn't think it would make big waves.

After Yang He knew that Zhu Shunming was a landlord and rebelled because he was coerced by the homeless people, he had no worries at all.

………………

"Cuiwei, do you really want to go south with Zhu Laojiu?" Tian Hui comforted: "Let's go into the mountains to find your father, wouldn't it be better to let your father's arrangement go?" Zhu Laojiu is very lustful, look at his girl, the whole vixen, sooner or later suck him dry......"

Li Cuiwei didn't pay attention to the sourness in Tian Hui's words, and said firmly: "Hui'er, I have made up my mind, so I don't need to persuade anymore." He's going to be nice to me, I can feel it. He looked at me the way my father loved me when he was a child......"

Li Cuiwei was in a trance, and the happiness could be felt from afar.

………………

"No, Zhu Laojiu, you can't take Cuiwei away," Liu Zongmin broke in and shouted angrily: "You actually kidnapped Cuiwei to elope with you?" Zhu Laojiu, you are too despicable and shameless. ”

"Cuiwei's affairs, you need to worry about it?" Zhu Shunming said unhurriedly: "Who are you?" ”

"I ...... She...... I am her fiancΓ©," Liu Zongmin stood for a long time, as if he had made up his mind, and shouted: "I am her fiancΓ©, and the Lord Chuang personally agreed." ”

Zhu Shunming raised his eyebrows, and was about to get angry, Li Cuiwei stepped forward and said, "When did my father say this?" Is there a marriage certificate? Can you have a token of kinship? ”

Liu Zongmin's dark face showed a shy expression, and he recalled: "Cuiwei, do you remember that year in Li Jiqian Village, I won the battle against everyone, and the team said in person, 'Such a son-in-law, can be a good son-in-law', have you forgotten?" ”

"There is no such thing," Li Cuiwei replied cleanly: "My father never said this, and my niece has always treated you as an uncle, how can you mess up ethics?" ”

"Uncle, don't mention this matter again, stop here, and your niece will be able to call you Uncle Liu in the future." Otherwise, it will hurt each other's harmony, and it will be difficult for my father to explain it......"

Li Cuiwei was resolute in her refusal, clean and neat, and very atmospheric.

"You ......" Liu Zongmin felt a big loss of face, and he didn't dare to do it, so he said angrily: "The life of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, the road through the ages." You have no shame and want to elope with this kid, so what is the face of the team? ”

Li Cuiwei looked at Liu Zongmin and said calmly: "Father left me and others behind and broke through. If we fall into the hands of Hong Chengchou, let me ask, do we still have face to break into the team? ”

"Without the desperate resistance of the Ninth Team, and without the Zhu Team to turn the tide, can you and I still talk about face here?" Li Cuiwei's expression was sad and resolute.

"No, you must not go with this kid," Liu Zongmin was obviously unmoved, and insisted: "Break into the team to protect you, my old Liu will never let you go with this kid......"

Zhu Shunming's eyes gradually sharpened. He stepped forward, pulled Li Cuiwei behind him, looked down at Liu Zongmin condescendingly, and sneered: "Just because you also want to rob women with Lao Tzu?" Don't pee and take a picture, you're as black as charcoal......"

Li Cuiwei felt beautiful in her heart, looking at Zhu Shunming's tall back, she felt that her life had something to rely on.

Liu Zongmin was so angry that he lost his mind. Scolding people does not expose shortcomings, Zhu Shunming is picking up other people's sore spots.

"Wow......"

Liu Zongmin pulled out his long knife, rushed to the crown angrily, and drank: "Old Liu didn't know where you kid was when he fought bloodily. The team will also look up to you and let you lead the team alone. How dare you do something that is sorry for breaking into the team. Brothers, we can't let this kid defect to the enemy and kidnap our princess......"

Several of the old battalion soldiers drew their weapons, and the nine teams of men and horses also faced each other. Infighting is on the verge of breaking out.

"Report ......"

"The team is back, and they are outside the camp. There were about two or three hundred people. ”

………………

Li Zicheng looked a lot haggard, but he was full of energy. He smiled and said: "Brother Zhu is really amazing, he carried Hong Chengchou 5,000 men and horses, forcing Yang He Lao'er to withdraw Hong Chengchou and recruit him personally." Hahaha, good, good......"

Li Zicheng turned his head to Liu Zongmin and said, "Zongmin, why are you fighting against Brother Zhu?" ”

Liu Zongmin was still angry and said: "This kid abducted Cuiwei and is ready to take refuge in the imperial court. ”

Li Zicheng's eyes became sharp, and he said in an unhappy tone: "Is there really such a thing? ”

Li Cuiwei stood up and said loudly: "It's none of Brother Zhu's business, it's my daughter who wants to live a peaceful life." The daughter is fed up with the days of being scared and running around every day. In case one day he is taken captive by the official dogs......"

She faintly blamed Li Zicheng for leaving her behind.

Li Zicheng was in a trance.

Li Cuiwei inherited the genes of her mother-in-law Han very well. I think that the Han family was a famous beauty in ten miles and eight towns.

Thinking that he killed the Han family with his own hands, stifled the good life he had when he was young, and since then he has been in exile and licking blood, Li Zicheng doesn't know whether his life path is right or not.

Life can't go back!

Time flies so fast, and in a blink of an eye, the yellow-haired girl knows how to protect her lover. It's time to find her a good home.

Li Zicheng's expression became soft, his tone was calm, and he beckoned to Zhu Shunming and said, "Brother Zhu, let's go into the back room and talk in detail." ”

"My lord......" Liu Zongmin's dark face showed anxiety, looking at Li Zicheng expectantly.

Li Zicheng shook his head slightly and strode inside.
