Chapter 13: The Man (II)

After saying a few words, Zhu Chongjiu's face was red, and he was panting like a cow, but he couldn't catch half a word.

Speaking from his heart, even if Sesame Li really passed the position to Zhao Junyong, he would not transfer the foundation of the Huaiyang Department and the command of the Huai'an Army to the latter.

Now he is not the Zhu Eighty-one who had no personal pursuits and was bent on hugging Zhu Yuanzhang's thigh, in terms of territory, his "territory" is not much smaller than Liu Futong; In terms of strength, although all the soldiers and horses of the Huai'an Army added up to only 140,000, half of them were completely off-duty trained soldiers, and their weapons, armor, and professional skills were far from being comparable to other Red Turban princes; In terms of prestige, the name of Zhu Fozi has long been under Marshal Liu, Emperor Xu and Monk Peng, so why should he ask him to give up his bloody gains to an outsider.

Besides, even if he wants to make it himself, in this world, can anyone eat it, Sesame Li is right, whether it is Peng Da, Mao Gui, or Zhao Junyong, they can't subdue the generals of the Huai'an Army, and if they don't get it right, an internal strife will explode in an instant, so that Sesame Li can't live in peace under Jiuquan.

"Don't worry, although I don't read much, I'm not confused." Seeing that Zhu Chongjiu was so embarrassed that he wanted to go out of the door, Sesame Li smiled again, and declared proudly, "These days, Zhao Junyong revolves around me almost every day, and Peng Da also goes early and late, shush the cold and ask for warmth, I know what the two of them want, but I will never give it to them." ”

"Boss, boss, you think too much, as long as you get better, in fact, every question will disappear." The more embarrassed Zhu Chongjiu became, lowered his head, and stammered in response.

If he didn't know Sesame Lee's temperament very well, he would even suspect that at this moment, there was a large group of knife and axe men in ambush around the ward, just waiting for someone to give an order, and then rushed out and split his body into pieces.

However, Sesame Li is not that kind of person, and with the current fine division of labor among the various departments under the jurisdiction of the Huaiyang Governor's Mansion, he will never allow such a ridiculous thing to happen on his own territory, so in addition to hoping that Sesame Li will get better and postpone the contradiction indefinitely, Zhu Chongjiu really doesn't know how to face the inheritance of the Red Turban Army on the East Road.

"I Lao Li said this, not just because your strength is stronger than Zhao Junyong and Peng Da." Sesame Li obviously couldn't finish everything he could say at once, closed his eyes and gasped for a moment, and then continued to add, "But do this, it's best for our brothers who started together in Xuzhou, give my position to you, in the future, whether Zhao Jun uses it, Peng Da, even if there is any fault, you won't want their lives, and if Zhao Junyong is allowed to sit in this position, with his mind, I'm afraid you, Peng Da and Mao Gui will either be killed by him or kill him, and there will be no third result at all." ”

The weather is not very hot, but there is a layer of fine and dense beads of sweat, which has surged all over Zhu Chongjiu's forehead, he never expected that the sesame plum that looks extremely rough and bold actually has such delicate insight, and he never expected that the latter's mind and bearing are actually magnificent.

This made him feel very small, so small that he almost needed to raise his neck to see the tall body half-lying on the bed, burly, majestic, even if he had been tortured by illness for so long, he still looked like a tiger that had just woken up, as long as he took a deep breath, he could stand up again, and look at Gao Gang.

"Don't worry, the boss." I don't know if I was infected by the other party's personality charm, or out of impulse, Zhu Chongjiu also took a deep breath and solemnly promised, "No matter who you hand over the position to in the future, and whether you will still take everyone to do it together in the future, Zhu will never aim the knife at our own group of brothers in his lifetime, Zhu can swear to the sky in front of your old face." ”

"No, I trust you." Sesame Li Xun opened his eyes, his gaze was as clear as water, "I have always believed in you, and I have always believed that you will do better than my Lao Li, you do me a favor and drag out the box under the bed, the wooden box, with a copper lock hanging on it." ”

"Yes." Zhu Chongjiu agreed in a low voice, and bent down to drag out a small camphor wood box from under the bed.

"Open it for me, the key is under my pillow." Sesame Lee smiled wearily and continued to command.

Zhu Chongjiu followed his order, took out the key from under the pillow, opened the wooden box, and a set of sealed letters wrapped in red silk immediately appeared in front of the two of them.

"This is the seal of my Red Turban Army Henan Jiangbei Pingzhang, as well as a Suzhou governor, and a deputy marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, from now on, they will all belong to you." Sesame Li smiled and pointed to the box and said loudly.

"This, the chief manager, the chief manager, don't be like this, you, you will definitely get better, I, I really asked Lang Zhong,." Zhu Chongjiu was stunned, and hurriedly excused himself.

"Lie, my own body, I know it myself, don't be a mother-in-law, Lao Li treats you as a brother, don't let Lao Li die blindly." Sesame Li pricked up his eyes and reprimanded, and then added eagerly, "I know you don't need these, even if you don't have these scrap copper and rotten iron, others will rest and infect your Huai'an Army, but there are a few, after I leave, you can at least save a lot of trouble, after all, you haven't run away, how can you have the kung fu to distract yourself from these miscellaneous things." ”

"Boss, I, I" Zhu Chongjiu called in a low voice, there was a warm current in his heart and eyes kept turning, two years of tolerance and support, two years of liver and gall photos, just like a movie film, flashed through his mind, he didn't know what good luck he had gone, in this life he was able to meet a top boss like Sesame Li, with a mind as broad as the sea, tolerated his all kinds of offense, nonsense, maverick, and even some obvious deception to him, They have also adopted an attitude of turning one eye open and one eye closed, and have never seriously investigated the truth behind it.

"Don't talk nonsense, quickly put these away, between our brothers, there is no time to talk nonsense." Sesame Li waved his hand vigorously, not giving Zhu Chongjiu any chance to be polite, "This is what Lao Li can do for you in the end, you don't have peace of mind if you don't let Lao Li die." ”

"Boss, Brother Li." Even if Zhu Chongjiu was iron-hearted, he was completely shattered into powder, holding the box containing the letter in both hands, kneeling at the head of Sesame Li's bed, tears falling like rain.

The man has gold under his knees, however, this is his chief manager, his eldest brother, who personally pulled him into the Red Turban Army, personally pushed him to the position of the commander of the First Army, and finally personally handed over the entire Xu Huai Red Scarf to his person.

If it weren't for Sesame Li deliberately pretending to be confused, he Zhu would have been hacked to death with a knife twenty-one years ago; If it weren't for Sesame Li's deliberate blindness, his "Ming" new training methods and new tactics would not have been implemented in Xuzhou's Left Army, and if it weren't for Sesame Li's deliberate indulgence, the Huai'an Army and the Huaiyang Department would have disappeared long ago.

"Good brother, you're good, you've always been good." Sesame Li was also very excited, raised his dry palm, and gently put it on Zhu Chongjiu's shoulder, "You are a person who is destined to make great achievements, hand over the red scarf on the East Road to you, brother, even if I die now, I have nothing to worry about, you will win the world in the future, you must remember, what are we people rebelling for, you must remember, our red scarves, our red scarves, are not pretending to be gods and ghosts." ”

"Don't worry, brother, I will definitely remember it." Feeling that the temperature on Sesame Li's palm was gradually fading, Zhu Chongjiuqiang held back the grief in his heart and nodded vigorously.

"You will definitely remember, you are heavy nine, not heavy eight, you will definitely remember." Sesame Lee's eyes suddenly lit up like a comet, so bright that it was almost impossible to look at directly, and he was burning his own life, burning without hesitation.

Zhu Chongjiu immediately guessed that Sesame Li had something to say at the moment, his eyes widened, and he nodded seriously, "I'm Chongjiu, not Chongba, Zhu Chongba is in Hezhou, what do you want to say, brother, I'll listen." ”

"You're a heavy nine, not a heavy eight." Sesame Li's eyes became brighter and brighter, brighter and brighter, with undisguised relief, "Brother, I knew almost two years ago that you were a heavy nine, not a heavy eight, so from then on, my brother I deliberately gave you a chance to let you go, brother, I want to see how far you can go, you are very good, and you have not disappointed my brother at all." ”

"Brother Li,." Zhu Chongjiu was confused when he heard this, and hesitated to respond.

"You're a heavy nine, not a heavy eight." Sesame Li once again stressed loudly, lest others forget him, and then there was a bellows-like gasp.

Zhu Chongjiu tried to help him up and beat him on the back, but he was pushed away with one arm, "You can make gunpowder, you can make cannons, you can train soldiers, you are Zhu Chongjiu, not Zhu Chongba, not Zhu Eighty-one, brother, can you tell me, where did you come from?" ”

"Ahh As if he was struck by lightning, Zhu Chongjiu's body instantly stiffened, dizzy, this is his biggest secret, and even the person next to the pillow didn't dare to tell him, how could Sesame Li, how could Sesame Li know, he, how could he suddenly mention this, he, what did he want to do.

"Good brother, don't be afraid." was so shocked that he couldn't give up, but Sesame Li smiled playfully, and added in a very low voice, "We are real brothers, brother, I am a small businessman, and suddenly I learned a martial art, suddenly I was so bold that I dared to gather people to rebel, and suddenly I learned to lead troops to fight, don't you think it's strange." ”

"You, you are." One lightning bolt after another slashed from the clear sky, smashing Zhu Chongjiu to the ground, his eyes straight.

He never thought carefully about why Sesame Li was so skilled, nor did he think carefully about why Sesame Li was so tolerant of himself, let alone why Sesame Li knew that his identity as the master of the Great Wisdom Hall of the Maitreya Sect could no longer be fake, but he never refused to pierce it, and now, he had the answer.

Sesame Li is also a traverser, a traverser like himself, in this world, only he is the same person as himself, and he is his brother in the true sense.

"Brother, in my last life, also surnamed Li, there was a famine in my hometown, and everyone began to eat leaves and Guanyin soil, but the emperor still had to collect taxes as usual, and the surrounding fathers and villagers couldn't hand it over at all, and they wanted to escape the famine, but the government didn't allow it, and ordered everyone to wait at home and starve to death." As if to reassure Zhu Chongjiu, Sesame Li gasped for a moment, closed his eyes, and slowly talked about his previous life, "Brother, I was a post pawn at the time, I thought I could escape this catastrophe, who would have thought that the emperor suddenly opened a warp, and wanted to streamline the administration of the army, and let the elder brother and I roll up and go home, and I was cornered, so I had to rebel." ”

"You, you are Li, King Li Chuang." In front of Zhu Chongjiu's eyes, a tall figure suddenly jumped out, pointed to the sesame plum on the sickbed, and exclaimed.

"Unexpectedly, you actually know the name of the old man in his last life." Sesame Li was slightly stunned, and on his blue-gray face, he suddenly showed a little pride, "The old man fell short in his last life, so he didn't blink his eyes, so he continued to rebel in this life, hehe, hehe, if he is a man in the next life, and then encounters the government without conscience, Lao Tzu may rebel, Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu is a natural thief, and he will never be obedient for generations." ”

"Your old man's name, the younger generation is like thunder." Zhu Chongjiu was infected by the domineering spirit on Sesame Li's body, stood up again, and gently took the other party's hand, "Killing one person is like killing my father, lewd one person is like adulterating my mother, suppressing the soldiers and reassuring the people, and the land is free of food"

In the later era of Zhu Dapeng, Li Zicheng's image is divided into heaven and earth, the former says that he is a leader of the righteous army with the people in mind, strict discipline, lofty ideals, although he fails, he is still worthy of respect, the latter is that he is a thief who kills people and sets fires, single-handedly ruined the Ming Empire, and leads Huaxia to sink into darkness for more than 260 years.

Zhu Chongjiu learned history poorly, and he couldn't tell which image was the real Li Zicheng, but he clearly knew that in this life, Sesame Li was his kind, and he deserved to be the eldest brother, and he had to let his brother go with peace of mind.

"Don't just talk about me." Guessing Zhu Chongjiu's thoughts, Sesame Li shook his head gently, his vitality had been exhausted, his eyes dimmed a little, and his knife-like face was still a little proud, "Lao Tzu forced Zhu Chongba's descendants to death, the foolish emperor of the Ming Dynasty, every time Lao Tzu broke through a city, he copied the property of local officials and gentry, and didn't leave him a grain of rice, so in their eyes, Lao Tzu must be a heinous villain, if the history books are still written by them, maybe, Even the crime of seducing the Manchu Qing Dynasty into the customs had to be firmly placed on Lao Tzu's head in the end. ”

"Let them be, you don't care." Zhu Chongjiu couldn't refute Sesame Li's words, he could only firmly hold the other party's dry arm, in the history he knew, there was indeed a group of people who unswervingly poured dirty water on the rebels, not only Li Zicheng, any rebel in history, in the pen of these people, are heinous, including Zhu Yuanzhang, who later established the Ming Dynasty, in the eyes of these people, they are all tyrants through the ages, cunning villains, far less than the image of the Great Yuan monarch and ministers who take the Han people as fourth-class slaves.

"Indeed, I don't care." Listening to Zhu Chongjiu's words, a few faint lights jumped in Sesame Li's eyes, "Even if they say that Lao Tzu forced Wu Sangui to dedicate Shanhaiguan to Tartar, Lao Tzu doesn't care, they don't let Lao Tzu eat, they don't let Lao Tzu escape, they force Lao Tzu to stay at home, An An is waiting to starve to death, and he is not allowed to snort, hey, how can there be such a cheap thing in the world, Lao Tzu is to rebel, to his mother, the most proud thing in Lao Tzu's two lives is to raise his fingers and the old lady of the emperor of the two dynasties." ”

As he spoke, he gasped for breath again, and a few dark red blood beads flowed out along his ears and nostrils, Zhu Chongjiu was so frightened that his soul flew out of the sky, and he hurriedly jumped to the door and shouted to the doctor, however, when Lang Zhonghe and Zhao Junyong, who had been waiting outside, rushed in, the sesame plum had run out of oil.

"Lao Zhao, Lao Peng, Leper, and other brothers" Fighting with the last strength, Sesame Li raised his hand to wipe the blood from his nostrils, pointed at Zhu Chongjiu with his scarlet fingers, and ordered in a low voice, "From today on, Eighty-one is your lord, I handed him the red scarf on the East Road, you go over, kowtow to him, from now on, you must obey his orders, if you disobey, you deserve to die." ”

"Big Brother ,,。" Zhao Junyong and the others exclaimed in unison, no one could accept it, Sesame Li actually passed the position to the youngest and youngest among them when he was dying.

"Kneel, kowtow, if you still treat me as a big brother, do as I say, otherwise, I won't be blind." Sesame Li refused to look at everyone again, and continued to gasp for orders.

Zhao Junyong, Peng Da, Pan Lezi, Tang Zihao and others had no choice but to bend their knees and bow to Zhu Chongjiu's ministers.

"Big brother" Zhao Jun used his knees as his feet, climbed forward a few steps, and called in a low voice.

He tried to make one last effort to see if there was any hope of persuading Sesame Li to change his mind, but Sesame Li frowned impatiently, and in a very low, very low voice, he ordered intermittently, "No, nothing is wrong with you, you, you will be good in the future, you will be good for yourself, you go away, let Eighty-one come over, I, I still have something to say, I have something to ask him." ”

"Yes." Zhao Junyong didn't dare to offend the anger of the public, glared at Zhu Chongjiu fiercely, gritted his teeth and stood up, and walked backwards towards the door.

At this time, where did Zhu Chongjiu still have the heart to be angry with him, he quickly stepped forward, put his ear to the mouth of Sesame Li, and asked in a low voice, "Big brother, if you have anything else, just say it, I, I'm listening here." ”

"Let's, let them go out too." Sesame Li didn't have the strength to make any movements, and commanded with difficulty.

Peng Da, Tang Zihao and the others looked at each other, wiped away their tears, got up and went out, Sesame Li sent everyone away with his eyes, and then showed a smile with difficulty, and asked in a low voice, "Good brother, I, after I died in my last life, who won the world, and finally, was the Tartar driven out of the Central Plains in the end." ”

According to the history known to Zhu Chongjiu, for more than 260 years, it was naturally the Jurchens who ruled China, the Ten Days of Yangzhou and the Three Massacres of Jiading

However, looking at Sesame Li's expectant eyes, he hesitated again, and couldn't bear to say the true answer.

As if guessing something, Sesame Li's eyes became more and more dim, and two lines of blood and tears slowly flowed down from his eyes.

"It's Zheng Chenggong." Zhu Chongjiu gritted his teeth vigorously, attached it to Sesame Li's ear, and shouted loudly, "Then Li Dingguo, Yao Zhifu and Sun Yat-sen, big brother rest assured, China has its own heroic soul, hundreds of years later, the mountains and rivers will be recast, and the country will be peaceful and peaceful." (Notes 1, 2, 3)

Note 1: Sesame Li is also a time-traveler, this is the setting when he first started writing the book, and the drunkard has always believed that if there is such a thing as a cross-traveler, when the nation is in danger, resistance is the only choice, no matter what era the time-traveler comes from.

Note 2: Regarding Li Zicheng's evaluation, in recent years, there has been a lot of noise on the Internet, in this regard, the drunkard only said one sentence, when the government does not let people eat, don't expect others to sit at home and wait for starvation to death, the government forces the people to rebel, and the people have to rebel, this is the simplest truth, which is better than any eloquence.
