Chapter 13: The Rogues? Refugee? (below)
Zheng Chenggong and his entourage walked out of the hut and towards the cottage door. Along the way, there were people in many broken huts who were cautiously aiming at Zheng Chenggong and them.
When they saw their bandit leader carried Zheng Chenggong away, many people wanted to rush out to save that person. It's just that the people next to them are holding on.
They could clearly see that this group of troops was clearly armored, with a single color of exquisite rattan armor, carrying a fire system at the waist, and holding a sharp knife in their hands.
If these descendants annoy this group of killing gods, I'm afraid they will all be unlucky.
Chieftain?
The leader will take his life as if he is not good!
A few old, family men persuaded the next generation in this way.
Zheng Chenggong and the others returned to the camp, threw the bandit leaders to the army doctor, and returned to the camp to think about the next plan.
The doctor had already cooled him down with spirits, and then poured a potion into it, and in the evening the bandit leader came to his senses.
The guards hurriedly sent someone to tell the general.
Hearing that the man had woken up, Zheng Chenggong wanted to ask him something, so he walked to the camp used by the military doctor.
As soon as he walked in, he saw that the bandit leader struggled to get up and fell to the ground, saying, "I have heard the name of the great general for a long time, but I have no face to see." Unexpectedly, the day before yesterday, he collided with the general, and the grass people deserved to die, and asked the general to surrender. ”
Seeing that the leaders all knelt down, the young men also hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty.
As soon as he came in, he saw the captive kneeling down and worshipping himself, Zheng Chenggong was also stunned, what is the situation, did the buddy add a charm aura?
Zheng Chenggong was just stunned for a moment, and immediately recovered, although he didn't know why they knelt down to worship him, but at this time, it was the most important thing to make a good posture.
Zheng Chenggong hurriedly helped up those people and said: "Those who don't know are not guilty, not to mention that it was me who broke in in a daze, which led to these misunderstandings." Lan Zhuangshi, there are still injuries in his body, get up quickly and sit down. “
was supported by Zheng Chenggong, and Lan Deng had no choice but to get up and sit down on the side.
Zheng Chenggong asked kindly, "Blue Zhuangshi, why..."
Zheng Chenggong paused, originally wanted to say that he was willing to be a thief, but in order to take care of Langden's face, he said, "So far? ”
When Lan Deng heard this, his face was slightly red, but fortunately, his skin was black from the sun and rain, and he couldn't see any changes.
Lan Deng was afraid that Zheng Chenggong would misunderstand that he was willing to fall, so he hurriedly said: "Lan Deng is ashamed to do such a business, but he has to do it as a last resort. ”
"Brother Lan, but it's okay to say!"
"Lan was originally a farmer near Xiamei Town, Zhangpu, and he fiddled with his own two or three acres of land on weekdays, plus a hunting in the mountains, and his life was still passable. It's just that I didn't expect disaster to fall from the sky, since the Tartars went south, this Zhangpu County order has changed three times a day, and no one knows how long anyone can do it, and they have no intention of asking about the affairs in the county. Wang Fugui, a squire in Zhangpu, relied on the large number of people in his family to form a team to protect the village. At first, it was fine, but later I saw that those county orders didn't care about anything, so I became ill-intentioned, and at first I just forced us to attach ourselves to him, pay seven cents of rent, and help him work. Since last year, they have forcibly occupied our fields and houses, and even pulled up a gang of robbers to raid homes and houses, abduct women, and do all kinds of evil. That day, the fields of several clansmen in Lan's hometown were also targeted at him, but Lan led a few of them to fight against him with a little martial arts, but they were all injured by his dog legs. Later, he was pursued by his men, and several of us had to flee into the mountains and hide. ”
Zheng Chenggong asked with some curiosity, "Then how did Brother Lan get on this leader?" ”
"The county order doesn't care about anything, and those chief squires are afraid that Wang Fugui is powerful, so they don't dare to provoke it. Wang Fugui has become more and more rampant, and in the past two years, Wang Fugui has used various means to snatch no less than 20,000 acres of land, and most of the fields in Zhangpu Mansion have been occupied by him. Thousands of good families persecuted him to the point of being homeless. We displaced people could not cultivate land to support ourselves, nor could we earn a living in the towns and villages, so we had to disperse to the mountains. It's a shame to say that Lan relies on a bit of martial arts, and when he sees injustices, he likes to meddle in things, and he has a bit of a false reputation among his neighbors. Therefore, I pushed many villagers to be the leader, and I wanted to unite everyone to get back what originally belonged to us from Wang Fugui on that dog day. As a result, he didn't expect him to take refuge in the Manchu Qing Dynasty and be willing to be a lackey of the Tartars. On that day, he falsely called us the anti-Qing rebels and led the Qing army to kill us. We couldn't resist it, many people died, and even the cottage was burned down by them. Because of this, now the people in the mountains are afraid of being killed by him, and they dare not trouble him again. Therefore, I can only take them to do some businessless business and barely survive. On that day, the general led the army over, and I thought that Wang Fugui went to find the Qing army again, and wanted to completely eradicate us, so I thought about ambushing, but I didn't expect it to frighten the general. Please forgive the general! With that, Landon thought about kneeling down again to plead guilty.
Zheng Chenggong hurriedly grabbed and said, "Oh, don't say that those who don't know are not guilty, Brother Lan doesn't need to be polite." By the way, since this Wang Fugui is so evil, he must have looted a lot of people's fat and people's ointment! “
Before Landon could say anything, those young men couldn't help but speak: "It's not just looting, that prosperous dog is eager to swallow all our bones." After tyrancing our fields and houses, and looting our rations, he built a strong cottage in Pantuo Town, which contained hundreds of thousands of stones, grains and grass, just for fear that people would seek revenge. “
Hearing that there were hundreds of thousands of grains and grass, Zheng Chenggong immediately stood up and said angrily: "Since this Wang Fugui is willing to be a Manchu lackey and harm his neighbors, I, as a general of recruitment, must eliminate harm for the people." Please also ask Brother Lan to help me. After speaking, Zheng Chenggong arched his hand towards Lan Deng.
Seeing the general surrender to him, Lan Deng hurriedly got up and saluted back, "Don't dare, I have long had the heart to take refuge, but I have never had the face to take refuge." It is our blessing that the general is willing to take us in. “
"Listening to Brother Lan's tone, it seems that he has read some books."
"When I was young, I went to a private school, but then my family gradually failed, so I had to go home to cultivate the fields and go to the wilderness."
"Oh, since Brother Lan has studied and read, he will temporarily receive the position of one hundred households, and several of your brothers will be included in your team. How about transferring it when you have military merits in the future. ”
"Thank you for the general's appreciation, and I will swear to kill the enemy to repay the general's kindness."
Since there is no money and food that is most urgently needed here, Zheng Chenggong naturally refuses to stay here for a long time.
After staying for one night, Zheng Chenggong asked Landon to be his guide and led two thousand soldiers and horses towards Pantuo Town.
On the way, Zheng Chenggong was very curious, and couldn't help but ask Lang Deng why he immediately knelt down to apologize when he knew that he was Zheng Chenggong that day!
In Langden's answer, Zheng Chenggong learned that as he defeated the Tartars again and again, his reputation spread widely in the five southeastern provinces.
Although he has not made much achievements in Kuang Fu Daming now.
But fame is a strange thing. When you have a bad reputation, the people will automatically stink your reputation, and all the dirty things imaginable will be thrown at you.
But once your reputation is good, the people will automatically help you beautify it, making you look like a saint.
So much so that now there are many people in the people, "I don't know the surname of the country in my life, so I call it a hero and talk nonsense!" ”
"Optimus Prime"
"Daming Guo Ziyi"
The proverb "Lord Yue is reincarnated".
As a result, many righteous people who are not full of Qing tyrannical rule are vying to take refuge in themselves, so after Lang Deng heard that he was the national surname Zheng Chenggong, he was so shocked and excited, and he knelt down as soon as he met!
After seeing Landen's deeds of worshipping him with his own eyes, Zheng Chenggong finally understood why the ancients attached so much importance to fame.
That's right, there is no reputation, who knows your existence, who knows that you are the onion!
Even if you have sky-high ambitions and vast abilities, those people will not think of taking refuge in you.
But once you have a reputation, no matter how weak you are, there will be a lot of talented people rushing to join you.
Zheng Chenggong finally understood how Liu Bei finally achieved a career from such a difficult adversity.
Without him, only fame and ear.
Liu Da'er's reputation for benevolence and righteousness was well-deserved at the beginning! (I just signed a contract today, ask for a collection, give a few tickets to support, and encourage it!) )
