It turned out that Tang Xianyao listened to Chen Qianhe's words, but he despised it in his heart: being a military household has been a military household for generations, what good is it for children and grandchildren to hang their heads on their belts. Although his face of contempt had not changed, his eyes were different.

And Wu Tianxiao also had a plan in his heart, but he didn't know much about the current situation, so he asked: "I just established myself here, and it is inevitable that there will be more places to spend money in the future." I don't know if I can do something else to make a living after joining the military. ”

That Tang Xianyao said: "Joining a military household is a military household, so naturally you can't do other livelihoods." However, each household registration has its own way to make a living, and Chen Baihu should know this very well. ”

Chen Qianhe smiled and said, "What's so difficult about this." Although the imperial court household registration system restricted the industry of origin. But if the brother has a way, as long as he finds someone to settle up in the name, although the business is not in the name of the brother at that time, he does not obey the brother's arrangement everywhere. ”

Wu Tianxiao smiled bitterly when he heard it: There are loopholes everywhere. No matter how the system is stipulated, it is always formulated by people, and it will always be exploited by others. So he said: "Since this is the case, then I will join the army." ”

Chen Qianhe smiled when he heard this: "This matter is on me." As he spoke, he looked at Tang Zhixian with a wicked smile.

That Tang Zhixian heard that Wu Tianxiao was going to join the military household, and secretly scolded Chen Qianhe in his heart for not being a thing, and he was afraid that half of the two hundred taels of silver he had received would be spit out. It's just that the guard and the official office do not govern each other, so it is naturally not good to use the official authority and this hill to fight. So it's hard to say anything, so I have to respond to Wu Tianxiao: "The identity of Wu Yingying, this official and Chen Baihu will cooperate with each other." ”

When everything is settled, the money will be divided. The money on the villagers' side was supervised by Wu Tianxiao, and the village chief Jia Lao took out the money seized from the Japanese and distributed the rewards on his behalf, while the military households and government officials distributed it by Tang Zhixian and Chen Qianhe. Since the seized money is much more than the property, and the large amount of captured food left on the ship, it can be converted into a lot of money. After dividing the money, Wu Tianxiao kept his share, and handed over the rest to Chen Qianhe and Tang Zhixian to take back to the county seat. And the crowd dispersed.

After a busy day, the villagers of Luomen Village, every household has more or less a little money, and everyone is happy. Jia Youshi, Jiang Zhuang, Zhang San, and Li Liu even took more than a dozen village heroes, saying that they would follow Wu Tianxiao in the future. Expect him to take them out on top.

When Wu Tianxiao first came, he was naturally willing to have people around him to help, so he agreed to give people who followed him to do things, and each person would be given food and two taels of silver a month. And Jia Youshi, Jiang Zhuang, Zhang San, and Li Liusi have three taels more. This kind of income is very abundant for the villagers of Luomen Village.

In the next few days, Wu Tianxiao took Jiang Zhuang and others and more than a dozen people to hire some carpenters and boatmen in the village to repair the holes in the sea boats. In the northeast corner of Luomen Village, a simple wharf was built in the leeward part of a hill called Niutou Mountain. Then the villagers took advantage of the high tide to push the boats into the sea. Luomen Village was originally a fishing village, and everyone would set up a boat at the helm. Although the ship was a bit bigger for the villagers, with the efforts of Jiang Zhuang, Jia Youshi and more than a dozen others, the boat was finally fixed by the simple dock and with ropes.

Wu Tianxiao is kind to Luomen Village, and everyone contributes to the repair of the wharf and does not need money. Wu Tianxiao had no choice but to let Jiang Zhuang take people to the county seat to buy meat and wine, and during the time of repairing the wharf, the villagers were fed three times a day, so that everyone in the villagers laughed when they saw Wu Tianxiao.

Jia Youshi and others are all fishermen, so they naturally know how to repair boats. After Wu Tianxiao settled down in Luomen Village, Jia Youshi consciously took others to clean and maintain the sea boats.

A few days later. Chen Qianhe sent Wu Tianxiao's military household officer with documents, and informed Wu Tianxiao of some things in the military camp. In fact, the military discipline of the Ming Dynasty guard is very lax. It is only when the officials come to inspect that there will be training, or when there is something, the military will be called. Under normal circumstances, military households are busy with their own business. Chen Qianhe asked Wu Tianxiao to not have to respond or anything, the identity of the military household is just a name, and he will come to him to discuss when there is something. Chen Qianhe also saw Wu Tianxiao's extraordinary ability, so he made it clear that in the future, the two of them would take care of each other as brothers, and don't care about him from hundreds of military households.

Then Wu Tianxiao left Chen Qianhe for a meal, and after learning some basic information, Chen Qianhe went back to the county seat. Chen Qianhe was going to go to Ningbo Mansion to walk around, just to become a thousand households as soon as possible.

In 1537, the sixteenth year of Jiajing, at the end of May. Annan was in turmoil, Annan King Li Ning fled, Mo Dengyong usurped the throne and rebelled, and the right capital of the Ming Dynasty, Yu Shi Mao Bowen, counsellor of military affairs, prepared to supervise the army to conquest. It's just that the court was slow to discuss and had no decision, and did not immediately send troops. The northern Mongolian Alta Ji entered the Kouxuan Mansion and commanded Zhao Bo to die in battle. Floods in Hebei, Shandong, Henan, Shaanxi, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang, especially in Huguang, and countless refugees, are pouring into Ningbo.

In this case, Wu Tianxiao came to Daming inexplicably, and also settled down in Luomen Village, Zhoushan Island. and Jia Youshi, Jiang Zhuang, Zhang San, Li Liu and other villagers and 19 young people, and stayed on the captured Japanese boat. And the ox knife juniper, who was also chained and locked in the sea boat, strictly ordered him not to leave the sea ship.

At this time, Wu Tianxiao already knew some about the situation in the Ming Dynasty. During this period, corrupt officials in the Ming Dynasty were everywhere, Dongchang, and Jinyi guards were rampant all over the world. Emperor Zhu Houxi was superstitious about immortality, favored warlocks, and began to abandon national politics after more than ten years in power. And because of the Great Rites Discussion, the relationship with the former ministers of Wuzong led by Yang Tinghe and Mao Cheng was not harmonious. The traitor Yan Song was reused, and Xu Jie, Gu Dingchen, Yan Ne, Xia Yan, Guo Pu, Yuan Wei, Gao Gong, Li Chunfang and others started by writing green words and flattered Zhu Houxi. Since then, flattery has prevailed among officials in the Ming Dynasty, and the political atmosphere has become increasingly corrupt. And natural disasters in all parts of the world continued, victims were everywhere, thieves were everywhere, and peasants began to revolt continuously. The northern Tatars sometimes invaded, and the coastal pirates were rampant.

In this context, Wu Tianxiao did not hesitate to choose to overthrow this decadent dynasty. It's just that he is not a reckless person, everything needs to be done step by step, so a plan slowly forms in his heart.

The soldiers and horses did not move the grain and grass first, this is Wu Tianxiao's belief. If you want to do great things, you need money, talent, and appeal. So when the decision was made, Wu Tianxiao called Jia Youshi, Jiang Zhuang and other nineteen people to discuss things.

Wu Tianxiao said in front of these dozen village leaders: "I called everyone here today to make one thing clear. ”

Wu Tianxiao saw that no one responded, and the nineteen people all looked like you told me to do things. Then he continued: "Everybody has seen it. When the Japanese invaded, it was too late for the officers and soldiers to evade. If I hadn't taken the lead in killing this time, it is estimated that the official master would not have come forward to encircle and suppress the Japanese invaders. ”

Jia Youshi nodded and responded, "Master Wu." That's what you're saying. If it hadn't been for you this time, it would have been us villagers who would have suffered. ”

Everyone also knew what happened to the Japanese when they came to commit crimes in the past, so they all nodded in response.

Wu Tianxiao continued: "But we also saw it. As long as we can exterminate the pirates, we will get a lot of money. ”
