Sitting down again, Chen Wenchang breathed a sigh of relief, and the resentment in his heart was also soothed a lot. Then, Wu Dengke, who was already drunk and didn't know why, drank it all and began to tell his story.

In Chen Wen's view, in comparison, Wu Dengke's story is a completely different style of painting.

Wu Dengke is a native of Yiwu County, Jinhua Prefecture, and was born in a tenant family. His great-grandfather and Wu Weizhong, a famous general of Zhejiang's anti-Japanese resistance and the governor of the Left Army, were brothers of the same clan. It's just that his so-called kinship is already far away, so far away that Chen Wen doesn't know how many suits this should be regarded as, and it is also far away that Wu Weizhong's career has not had any impact on his family.

I've heard of a table of three thousand miles, and there is a class of three thousand miles in this joint authorship.

When Wu Dengke was three years old, his father was seriously injured by a small official who went to the countryside to urge the department, and died not long after. After raising him alone for a few years, his widow also died because he became ill from overwork but had no money for medical treatment. So, the clan sent him to herd cattle for a gentry landlord, because his parents died, he was bullied since he was a child.

In December of the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, all the people in Dongyang County had an incident, and for a time the respondents gathered, and there were 100,000 people in ten days. Its army is called the white cloth wrapping its head, so it is called the "White-headed Army". The Baitou Army fought a succession, first Ke Dongyang County, followed by Yiwu, Zhuji, Pujiang, Yongkang, Wuyi, Tangxi, Lanxi and other counties, and the whole Zhejiang earthquake.

Against such a panicked background, Wu Dengke, who was only 16 years old, sneaked into the house of the little official who had injured his father at night and killed him. However, after the killing, he did not surrender like the Nawei family, but joined the rebel army in Xu Du.

By this point, Wu Dengke's behavior could have entered the category of spontaneous resistance to class oppression by the standards of later generations. Of course, in the face of the cunning landlord class, the peasant insurgents, who lacked ideological guidance and correct leadership, were either corrupted and co-opted or self-extinguished.

On the twenty-eighth day of the first month of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, the Baitou Army failed to attack Jinhua County, had no food and no support, and retreated to Ziwei Mountain. Therefore, Xu Du surrendered to the Ming court, and Wang Xiong, the superintendent, promised without authorization, and then his people and 64 subordinates were killed by Zuo Guangxian, the governor of Zhejiang, and the remnants of Xu Du rebelled.

In the first year of Lu Jianguo, Yin Can raised troops against the Qing Dynasty in Jinhua Mansion, and Wu Dengke, who had already led more than a dozen people to join at that time, was also in Yin Can's army, he got acquainted with Sun Yu, and learned his story from Sun Yu's fellow villagers.

In March of this year, Yin Can was defeated and captured, and was later killed by the Qing army in Dongyang County. Wu Dengke and Sun Yu brought dozens of his subordinates to Dalan Mountain to join Wang Yi.

One is a scholar with a great reputation, and the other is a peasant rebel who is on the run; One avoided the countryside because of the rebellion of the remnants of Xudu, and the other was simply the remnants of Xudu. And in this context, two people who should not have crossed paths at all actually met and became friends, and embarked on the revolutionary road of resisting the national oppression of the Manchu Qing Dynasty together.

I really don't know if these two people are ridiculous, or if this era is absurd.

However, after Wu Dengke came to Dalan Mountain, Wang Yi's subordinates thought that he had been a thief repeatedly, and he was not a native of Ningshao, so they were not at ease to let him lead his subordinates to join the war camp. However, the ancients attached great importance to nostalgia, and Wu Dengke's subordinates were all Jinhua people, so they were naturally reluctant to separate.

Therefore, Wang Yi decided to conquer Sun Yu and grant wasteland around Dalan, so that Wu Dengke and his subordinates could be self-sufficient and not cause trouble to the village. It's just that Wu Dengke and others have rebelled for many years, and most of them are not the kind of people who dig in the soil, but they rent the land to others when they come and go, and most of them hunt by themselves.

By the time Wu Dengke finished speaking, Sun Yu's family had already come out of the North House. Chen Wen looked at the teary-eyed Yi, but the words of consolation were always blocked in his chest and couldn't be spoken. But if he used the words he had deceived Wang Yi to perfunctory, Chen Wen couldn't open his mouth. After all, in his heart, he had a trading mentality for Wang Yi before; But for them at the moment, it's all about communication.

In desperation, Chen Wen remembered that he had serialized a historical novel on the Internet. It was precisely because of that novel that Chen Wen became interested in the history of the Ming Dynasty. And a story at the beginning of it is very appropriate at the moment.

I saw him drink all the wine in the cup, get up and say: "I used to read a story like this: one night in the first year of the Yuan Tianli calendar, the wife of a man named Zhu Wusi in Fengxiang Mansion gave birth to a boy. According to the custom of naming at that time, he named the child Zhu Chongba. ”

The first to react was Sun Yu, only to hear him hurriedly drink: "Brother Chen is cautious." ”

"Brother Sun, please let me finish the story." Chen Wen continued: "Zhu Wusi is a tenant, but he also has a small tofu shop, which allows him to barely support his wife, four sons and two daughters. ”

When he was very young, Zhu Chongba began to herd cattle for a local landlord surnamed Liu. At that time, he didn't want to herd cattle, he wanted to go to school, but his family had no money to repair. ”

Shuxiu is the ancient school fee, and it is a gift for children to meet their teachers when they enter school. This word made Sun Yu quite touched, he remembered how his parents saved money for him to go to school, remembered how hard he studied, remembered, too much......

At that time, Zhu Chongba's biggest dream was to grow up quickly, and then find the matchmaker who was a matchmaker for his parents to help him find a diligent girl to be his daughter-in-law, and then give birth to his own child. When the children reach their current age, they will be told to go and herd cattle for the son of the landlord surnamed Liu......"

This story is very similar to the story of the sheep herding baby in Chen Wen's time, but in ancient times, peasant women, mountain springs, and a little field were the only dreams of Chinese farmers. Of course, everyone wants to be a landlord, but how many landlords are there in this world, it is always good to be realistic, at least it won't hurt too much when you wake up.

"It's a pity that life is not as good as it should be. In the fourth year of Zheng, when Zhu Chong was eighty-seven years old, a serious plague and drought broke out on both sides of the Huai River, and the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty was afraid that the common people would rise up without disaster relief, so he ordered disaster relief. ”

"However, will the decree of the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty necessarily be useful? When the grain was transported out of the warehouse, the high-ranking officials in the center first coveted a part of the ink, then officials from all walks of life, and then the state and county, and when it came to the common people, there was not much left. ”

And Zhu Chongba's home is an ordinary person. On the sixth day of the fourth month of the fourth month of that year, his father starved to death, and on the ninth day of the first month, his eldest brother starved to death, and on the twelfth day, the eldest brother's eldest son starved to death, and on the twenty-second day, his mother also starved to death. Aside from the married sister and the third brother who entered the family, only him and his second brother are still alive in the old Zhu family. ”

"I think there is nothing more painful in the world than this."

Hearing this, Wu Dengke was already in tears, he thought of his father, his mother, the old cattle and the little yellow dog in the family, and how all this left him one by one......

Zhu Zi said, the monarch is benevolent and loyal, the father is kind and the son is filial, the brother is friendly and the brother is respectful, the husband and the woman are gentle, the teacher is faithful and the friend is respectful of the old and loves the young. Zhu Chongba's father died, his mother died, his eldest brother died, his nephew also died, he had no money to go to school, he had no money to marry a daughter-in-law, and his friends had all fled the famine, and all of this was caused by the tyrannical emperor and traitorous ministers! ”

Even so, he did not rebel, he chose to become a monk after burying his family, because he wanted to live for a better family. However, there was no food in the temple, and he was blasted out after staying in the temple for more than a month. In this way, when there is food, he does chores in the temple, and when he has no food, he goes out to make fate, until the eleventh year of Zhizheng. ”

Gradually, catalyzed by alcohol, Chen Wen's consciousness began to merge into the world of the story, and there was no one else in front of him.

"In the eleventh year of Zheng, Han Shantong and Liu Futong played the slogan of 'stone man with one eye, instigating the Yellow River to rebel against the Yuan', and for a time, the world was shaken, and large-scale anti-Yuan uprisings broke out in various places."

It was also this year that a friend of Zhu Chongba's surnamed Tang wrote him a letter. After reading the letter, he asked another friend surnamed Zhou to make a divination. The hexagram says that if you stay, you will die, and if you go, you will live. In this case, he left the temple where he had stayed for several years and went to the city he was destined to go to, Haozhou. ”

After arriving in Haozhou, Zhu Chongba became the personal soldier of Guo Zixing, the marshal of Haozhou. In the days that followed, he fought bravely, handled things calmly, and thought far-reachingly, and gradually got the reuse of Guo Dashuai. It was also during this period that he began to learn to read and write. Later, he gave himself a new name - Zhu Yuanzhang! ”

Sun Ming, who was still listening to the story in Meizizi, widened his eyes at the moment, he was like his brother since he was a child, he only read books for the imperial examination, in order to be able to get famous in the future. He knew the name of the Taizu of this dynasty, but he didn't remember the previous one very clearly.

"Zhu, kill also; Yuan, tyrannical Yuan; The zhang is a sharp weapon made of jade. A sharp weapon to kill the tyrant! I don't know with what hatred he wrote these three words, but I do know that it was the most important thing in his life, the one that could be sacrificed at the expense of his life, and the only thing he could do for his parents and family. ”

And this is the only thing Sun Yu can do for his parents over the years......

Soon, his outstanding talent was recognized by Guo Dashuai, and Guo Dashuai decided to marry his righteous daughter Ma Girl to him in order to win over this young talent, and this Ma Girl was his wife in the future, the only wife in his life.

However, the good times did not last long, because his ability was too outstanding, which aroused Guo Dashuai's jealousy. So, Guo Dashuai casually found an excuse to put him in a black prison and starved him to death. ”

Seeing this, his wife Ma had to keep pleading with her father-in-law, but it was useless. In order to prevent him from starving to death, Ma carried the freshly scalded pancakes in his arms and gave them to him when he visited him in prison. ”

"So affectionate, just ask, if you have a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for."

At this moment, Yi Shi was already covering her mouth and crying "woo", while her husband hugged her into his arms, listening to the rebellious guy in front of him with deep affection and continuing to tell this same rebellious story.

"Maybe the king doesn't die, but in the end, Guo Dashuai still released him. After he came out, he found that he would follow this gang like this for the rest of his life and never want to destroy the tyrant, so he applied to lead the troops to the battle, and that Guo Dashuai probably felt that out of sight was pure, so he let him go. ”

Since then, the dragon has swam in the sea and the tiger has returned to the mountains and forests. Starting from Dingyuan, Lian fought successively. Li Shanchang, Xu Da, Li Wenzhong, Feng Sheng, Deng Yu, Chang Yuchun, Tang He, Liu Ji, Song Lian, etc., in the past few years, the sages have been complete. Soon, Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng were awarded, and Fang Guozhen surrendered. And he finally waited for the day he had been waiting for for a long time. ”

"In October of the twenty-seventh year of Zheng, Emperor Taizu Gao took Xu Da, the right prime minister, as the general of the conquest, and Pingzhang Chang Yuchun as the deputy general to lead the 250,000 northern expedition to the Central Plains. Ten months later, Wang Shi recovered Yanjing, and the tyrant Yuan was expelled from China. ”

Since then, Emperor Gao has launched eight northern expeditions. In the twentieth year of Hongwu, after the Battle of Yuerhai, the violent yuan was completely destroyed. And the once young man finally fulfilled the promise he made back then in his twilight years. ”

The story has been told, but Chen Wen still feels that something is missing.

Yes, concluding.

So, he poured himself a glass of wine, drank it all, then took a deep breath, and said in a solemn tone that he had never had before:

At this point in the story, I would like to quote a sentence from the "Asking for the Golden Papers" in the Kaixi period of the former Song Dynasty - the way of heaven is good, and there is a reason to cover China; People's hearts are obedient, although the husband will take revenge! ”

As the words came out, Chen Wen only felt that the resentment in his chest was swept away, and he suddenly felt refreshed.

But at this time, he suddenly found that there were more than five people in the small courtyard of the Sun family. At a glance, I saw that the courtyard, the door, and even the wall were already full of people, and everyone stood there as if they had been taken in. And Chen Wen actually saw Hu Er's figure in this group of people.

Broken!

Chen Wen was shocked in his heart, and the wine was all gone. At present, it is a feudal society, and it is a violation of the law to call the name of Emperor Gao, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty.

What's the name of that crime, yes, it seems to be a great disrespect. That's a heinous sin.

If only those few people heard it just now, this story was originally told to them, but now there are so many people, what can I do?

At this time, a man standing at the door suddenly said loudly: "Mr. said it too well. Great, I'm tomorrow! ”

"That's a good point, sir."

"What the gentleman said is indeed good."

"Sir is not an ordinary person at first glance, he is really talented." Why is this so awkward?

For a time, the sound of compliments resounded in the east of the village.

After calming down a little, Hu Er stepped forward to announce a happy event, Sun Yu, the former ambassador of the old grain depot in Dalanshan, was jointly promoted to the ambassador of the treasury by Wang Yi, the left waiter and left deputy envoy of the military affairs department of Jingluo Zhizhejiang, and Wang Jiang, the head of the household department and the right deputy governor of the palace, and was still in charge of the grain depot.

was promoted from "from the ninth grade" to "from the ninth grade", but the real power was greater, but it also cost Sun Yu a lot of reward silver, so he happily sent away the messenger of the good news.

Next, with the help of neighbors and people who had just heard the story, the Sun family opened a running water seat. It's just that during the banquet, Chen Wen accepted no less toast than Sun Yu, as if he also had a share in the promotion.
