Chapter 4: First Acquaintance with the Rebels
"Liu Futong, Xu Shouhui, Peng Yingyu, Zhang Shicheng, Fang Guozhen, Guo Zixing, Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Da, Chang Yuchun......" Zhang Guanghua was already in a trance, and only knew how to mechanically say what he only had historical knowledge. The development and prosperity of the Red Turban Army took place in the Central Plains, and the peasant uprising in Fujian was only a small fight, not a climate, and Zhang Guanghua did not remember at all what rebel armies there were in Fujian, and even if he was tortured to extract a confession to the limit, he could not spit out half a grape.
Between psychedelia and reality, Zhang Guanghua felt that the pain in his body suddenly disappeared, and at this time there was a slight pleasure, is this like a long-distance run, running to the end, but no longer panting, but suddenly brightening his chest? Thinking of this, Zhang Guanghua fainted again.
"Wow", another scoop of water splashed, Zhang Guanghua woke up, he didn't know how many times he woke up, from the initial begging for mercy, to the complete numbness in the back, and then to the current just begging for death, he seemed to have seen through life and death in just a few hours.
Feeling that there was a pot of crackling firewood in front of him, and the sound of an iron rod turning inside came from time to time, Zhang Guanghua knew that at this moment, he possessed the actor of the TV series, and he was going to have an intimate contact with the soldering iron.
"You little, why bother with your own life? I'll give you one last chance, and you'll tell me everything you know, and if that's right, maybe I can let you go. I heard the man's voice again, and after the man finished speaking, he put the soldering iron in the water, and immediately made a "zizi" sound, which was very infiltrating.
Hearing this, Zhang Guanghua did not beg for mercy for the first time, he had seen through life and death, anyway, he had a bad life, and he couldn't figure out that his parents in the real world had died crying because of his disappearance, and he had lived for more than 20 years, without talking about a girlfriend, without saving a penny, what is the point of living in the world by himself. Even if you die of old age in a few decades, what is the difference between dying now? The earth still works, and the world does not go backwards.
Thinking of this, Zhang Guanghua laughed a few times, and his heart was extremely heroic: "That's right, I am indeed looking for the rebels, I just want to join them and fight against you yuan dogs!" You can kill one me, but you can't kill thousands of me, you wait, in another ten years, your time of death will come. ”
After speaking, Zhang Guanghua spat at the position of the speaker just now, and then shouted: "Expel Hulu!" Recovering ......"
But before he finished shouting, his chest was burned by the soldering iron and shook back, and he swallowed the words he was about to say back into his stomach.
……
I don't know how long it was, maybe a minute, maybe an hour. Zhang Guanghua was thirsty and slowly woke up, and saw a bucket next to him, he copied a gourd and poured a few sips of cold water. After drinking the water, Zhang Guanghua felt that something was wrong, and when he looked around, he remembered what happened before, could it be that he was rescued?
Zhang Guanghua found a clean ground and sat down, and began to check his body, his shirt had been taken off, his body was covered with water stains, and his hands, chest and abdomen were full of bruises, but he did not hurt his muscles and bones. Looking at the place where the soldering iron has been scorched, there is only one red mark, no blisters, and even the skin has not been burned, which is really lucky.
He was now in a dilapidated thatched hut, he found a wooden stick and pestle, and slowly walked outside, outside was a forest, the ground was chaotic, there were discarded wooden sticks and other weapons everywhere, a few iron arrows were stuck in front of the door, there were still a few stalls of blood on the ground that had not dried up, and a few swarms of flies were flying back and forth around. I can see that there was a scuffle here not long ago, and I don't know who saved me, the Red Turban Army?
Zhang Guanghua shook his head and didn't think about this, whatever, it was a blessing to be alive. He looked around and didn't see his mule, thinking that the beast and the hundreds of taels of silver tickets on it had also been taken away by others, hey, after decades of hard work, he returned to the pre-liberation period in one night!
Zhang Guanghua returned to the house again, found his clothes that were thrown to the ground, and prepared to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible. When I opened it, I saw that it was my own hiking bag, and I hadn't even touched the combination lock on the backpack! It seems that both groups left in a hurry, and neither of them noticed that there was anything here.
Stumbling onto the avenue, Zhang Guanghua felt that his body was better again, as if his body would slowly recover after fighting with others when he was a child, but he felt that he should still find a place to apply some medicine or rub it with medicinal wine, otherwise he would not be able to get off the ground for a few days when it was swollen.
Zhang Guanghua looked up at the sky, found that the sun had set, he was injured, and the money was gone, he didn't know where to go, where to go, after thinking about it, he still returned the same way. However, just now the people in the village saw that they went out in a beautiful way, and they were embarrassed to go back like this, so they were ready to climb over the Zhongjian Mountain that led them to cross, and walk down the mountain road to the backyard of Huang Cuixin's house, and it was best to sneak in through the back door.
……
Li Da and Lu Guangfu gathered at the village chief's house. Li Da did not participate in this pursuit of Zhang Guanghua, but gave full authority to the butcher Liu at the end of the village, who was bold and careful, and was most suitable for this kind of thing. Facts have proved that this is indeed the case, he pretended to be the words of Yuan Jun and Zhang Guanghua, forced a confession several times, and finally determined that the "monk" did not know their details, but he got a rather unexpected news, the monk was originally going to defect to the rebels, and they were all put on an oolong.
The village chief also regretted it, based on Li Da's description of Zhang Guanghua, it seems that he should be a person who has read books, and he is loyal and courageous, and his hands are rich, and it is indeed a big loss for everyone to not be absorbed into his team, but the matter has passed, and it is useless to think about it again. When the matter was over, everyone dispersed.
……
Zhang Guanghua hurt every step he took, and the most damning thing was that he found himself lost, and by the afterglow of the sunset he climbed over another mountain, and finally saw people at the foot of the mountain, and he stumbled towards the nearest house.
When he came to the house, it was already dark, and the oil lamp was already burning in the house, and just as he mustered up the courage to knock on the door, a familiar voice seemed to come from inside the house.
"Village chief, the grain and grass for the uprising are almost ready, and all villages in the county have also arranged contact people, now they are only waiting for the production of ladders and weapons, these large items are not easy to hide, it is better to start work later."
"Well, it's well arranged, has the military advisor found it? The team is getting bigger and bigger, and the logistics can only be managed by the right people. "It's an old man's voice.
Hey? Uprising? It's really hard to find a place to break through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get there. With great joy and sorrow in one day, and having walked such a long way, Zhang Guanghua finally couldn't hold on and fainted against the wall.
"Who is it?" A big man rushed out of the door, and it was Huang Cuixin's man, Li Da.
……
This night he slept very sweetly, and Zhang Guanghua dreamed of a beautiful girl who had been with him. When the birds chirped and the sun was shining, he slowly woke up, smelled the fragrance of a girl beside him, mixed with the unique smell of some medicinal wine, and opened his eyes to see that he was sleeping in a woman's boudoir, covered with a red quilt cover, and a dresser beside the bed, on which a copper mirror was placed.
Suddenly the door opened, and a white-bearded old man on crutches walked in, he smiled mysteriously when he saw Zhang Guanghua, and said, I guessed that you would come, but I didn't expect you to be like this! Zhang Guanghua looked surprised.
After chatting for a few words, Zhang Guanghua realized that this was the Lijia Village he was looking for, but now it was in the village chief's house, not in the Li family.
The village chief said, "You heard everything you said yesterday."
When Zhang Guanghua heard that he was afraid that the village chief would have scruples, he immediately expressed his intention, saying that he had come to join the rebels, and then he saw the village chief smiling and smiling so happily.
Zhang Guanghua felt that it was rude for him to lie on the bed and speak to an old man, so he immediately got up and washed, and then went to the kitchen to drink a bowl of multigrain porridge as instructed by the village chief. Then he heard a loud noise outside, and it seemed that many people were coming in from outside.
And he also heard the familiar voice last night, and after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it should be Li Da, and when he went out, he saw that it was him, and he was very happy to see his acquaintance Zhang Guanghua again. But Li Da saw that his eyes were very strange, and he seemed a little embarrassed at first, but soon showed a happy expression. Zhang Guanghua thought to himself that it might have been his own delusion just now.
Although they did not shy away from Zhang Guanghua, Zhang Guanghua felt very embarrassed, no one talked to him, as if he was an outsider.
At this time, the village chief walked out of the back room, the hall instantly quieted down, the village chief greeted everyone with a smile, and then pointed to Zhang Guanghua to introduce to everyone, "This is Zhang Guanghua, there must be many people who already know him, and he also sent a cart of grain to Li Da yesterday." ”
Everyone smiled at Zhang Guanghua, and they still admired Zhang Guanghua's righteous act.
The village chief continued: "But this time he is not bringing us food, but is ready to join us, everyone is welcome." ”
After the village chief's introduction, Zhang Guanghua obviously felt that everyone's attitude towards him was much better, and it seemed that the village chief's prestige was very high.
Li Da also brought someone to him at this time, "Brother Zhang, I didn't expect to meet again so soon!" Now I'm not an outsider, let me introduce to you, this is Lu Guangfu, a person from Nan'an County, who has worked hard under his hands, and he and I take care of many matters of the righteous army. ”
Zhang Guanghua understood, it turned out that this was the executive vice president. The village chief also told him some before, he himself briefly sorted it out in his mind, if the Yijun is a company, the village chief is the chairman, Li Da is the president, now dozens of people in the house are the company's high-level executives, the company's staff are all farmers in Anxi County, the company's headquarters is in Lijia Village, and the business scope is to capture Anxi County, Anxi County is close to Quanzhou Road, the company's future plan is to capture the first major treaty port of the Yuan Dynasty: Quanzhou.
