"Why isn't Lao Tzu dead yet?"
He is the head of the tun, Xu Dumu heard the young man's words, and immediately roared angrily.
Xu Dumu is more than twice as old as himself, and he is also a teacher and a friend, and he has a good relationship on weekdays, seeing that he is really angry, Deng Pimple didn't dare to say more, pursed his lips and swallowed the rest of the words back into his stomach.
You're not dead, but you've lost an eye!
Captain Arita spoke, this time it seems that he really can't dodge, is it difficult to really be a commander, and lead the soldiers to rush forward to kill?
Deng Pimple knew that he was different from everyone around him because he came from another time and space.
In his previous life, he was an ordinary peasant child in the western mountainous area of the 21st century, seventeen years old, just graduated from junior high school, and then went to work in the city outside the mountains after waiting for his parents to set up a family for him.
This kind of mysterious thing may not be explained clearly even by a big scientist, let alone a junior student who only has a primary Chinese basis and has only learned a superficial knowledge of junior high school, so as soon as the initial panic passed, he forgot his true face, looked curiously at this strange world, and began to integrate into it.
In this life, he was born in a farming family surnamed Deng in Nanyang County, he was the fourth oldest when he was born, and there were three brothers on it, his father Deng Bo had consulted a master in his early years, the eldest son was named Deng Kun, the second son Deng Zhong, and the third son Uncle Deng.
In his infancy, from the chatter of the people around him, Deng Ji knew that he was born in the first year of Xiping in the Han Dynasty, and he probably knew that it was the Eastern Han Dynasty, and racked his brains to recall it for a long time, and the emperor of the Han Dynasty in the junior high school history textbook only introduced Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, the two emperors of Wenjingzhi, the unification of Emperor Wu, the Guangwu Emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the Ming Emperor of the Yellow River. I really don't know that this is the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
But what year was the first year of Xiping? Grandma's, the history books say that the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, what is the relationship between the late Eastern Han Dynasty and the first year of Xiping?
In his previous life, in the third uncle's black Internet café, he also played a stand-alone version of the Three Kingdoms game for a period of time, not to mention proficient, and he was far from the so-called hardcore players in the big city, so although he knew that he had transformed into a troubled era, Xiao Deng Ji, who was still tightly tied in the cloth and couldn't even stretch his little arms and legs, naturally had no room for resistance.
Nanyang Deng clan is a wang family, the late Three Kingdoms Wei general Deng Ai was also born here, the vast majority of the Chinese surname Deng in later generations are bred from here, several left Deng ancestral hall can be called cultural relics, the couplet is also written "Nanyang County Wang" and other words, of course, as a big family, naturally there is also an uneven wealth and poverty, Deng Ji's father Deng Bo in this life is just an ordinary farmer, there are more than ten acres of thin land (Note 1), the food produced is not enough for his family to eat, and he has to find a rich landlord to rent some more.
With the fear of the troubled times, Deng Ji gradually grew up, after the novelty of this life, the cruelty of social reality also made him staggered, in addition to military service, the weight of conscription and taxation is difficult for him to understand as a small junior high school student in later generations, although the field rent still continues to be thirty taxes is relatively light, but the household endowment, oral endowment, calculation endowment, more endowment, contribution fee, tax and other extraordinary miscellaneous expenses are dazzling, this is only the need to pay the state, not counting the landlord's rent, compared to the later generations of the state not only has not levied agricultural tax, On the contrary, for agricultural subsidies, future generations of farmers will definitely live in paradise.
In addition, the many disasters of this era, the severity of the harm is also staggering, earthquakes, floods, droughts do not stop taking turns, more terrifying than these is the plague, outside the scope of Deng Ji's knowledge, the "typhoid fever" plague that killed more than 20 million people in the late Eastern Han Dynasty broke out five times in just 14 years from the fourth year of Jianning to the second year of Zhongping, Deng Ji grew up to now, and experienced four times, if it were not for Nanyang not being the hardest hit area, in these terrible plagues that took the lives of half of the country's population, Deng Ji's family may also be killed.
Except for the early death of the third brother Uncle Deng, the whole family was fortunate to escape the plague, that is, as a son of man, it is natural to relieve the worries of his father, but unfortunately as a victim of the education system in later generations, Deng Ji actually did not have any goods in his stomach, he was born in the relatively backward mountainous areas of the west in his previous life, and was a substitute teacher in primary school, and he only studied until the fourth grade of primary school, but he served as a teacher and class teacher in all subjects of the same grade such as Chinese and mathematics in the point school near the village. Deng Ji went to the township middle school with a total score of 45 in two subjects, of course, this is not because he himself did not work hard enough, he can only blame the teacher for misleading people's children, and his parents are farmers who know a few big characters in "literacy", and the degree of attention to education can be imagined, and he has never been expected in terms of grades.
The foundation of primary school is too poor, junior high school mathematics, physics, chemistry can break through the single digit every time the exam is a huge achievement, there are many multiple-choice questions in English, it is estimated that I can touch some of the exams to more than 20 points, the results of the political open-book exam are the best, history and language because of interest and do not need to listen to the book can barely mix a pass, travel to this life, what glass soap and other things to make a fortune but don't even think about it.
Although there is no goods in the stomach, the advantage of spanning nearly two thousand years is still quite huge, and after Deng Ji racked his brains to make his father Deng Bo believe that his four or five-year-old Huangkou child was not talking nonsense, he tried all kinds of ways to finally improve some of the family situation, but at this time, the reputation of the living immortals and great sages who can use spells and spells to heal people without medicine has spread to Jingzhou, and such a lucky star can appear under the ravages of the plague, which is naturally a life-saving straw with a considerable weight in the eyes of the confused people. In order to go to Jizhou to join this living immortal, many people did not hesitate to sell their property, traveled thousands of miles, scrambled to be the first, and it was said that more than 10,000 people were trampled to death halfway.
The power of superstitious blind obedience is huge, it didn't take long for the wealthy, officials and even eunuchs in the capital to join the Taiping Dao founded by the living immortals, although Deng Bo did not move his family to Jizhou, but also ignored the opposition of Deng Ji, a little baby, in order to ask for the safety of his family to believe in the Taiping Dao, and soon received the oracle of "the sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand, the age is in Jiazi, and the world is auspicious".
So, at the beginning of the seventh year of Guanghe, Tang and Zhou came out, the government chased after him, and the great sages and good teachers galloped in all directions, and the Yellow Turban Uprising broke out in the world's rebellion, and at this time, Deng Ji knew that the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty mentioned in the history books originally referred to the seventh year of Guanghe, and he was only twelve years old in this year, and he couldn't make any waves at all, and he went with the flow, and became a small "moth thief" (Note 2).
As a disciple of the Taiping Dao of Nanyang County, if you want not to be arrested by the government, Deng Bo naturally has to take his family to the local Qu Shuai Zhang Mancheng, but unfortunately the war came down, the battle of Wancheng Deng Bo died of a stone, Deng Ji's mother Zhang then died of illness, the eldest brother Deng Kun was not in the West Ejing Mountain, the second brother Deng Zhong was also lost in Runan, Deng Ji has followed Zhang Mancheng, Zhao Hong, Han Zhong, Sun Xia and now the five Qu Shuai, from Nanyang to Wancheng, defeated West Ejing Mountain, escaped Runan, Yongqiu, to the current Jiyin County Juancheng boundary, all the way down, There was only one left in the family, and he also reached the age of fourteen and became a sturdy young man.
The world's raging Yellow Turban Rebellion was suppressed in less than a year, and at the end of the year, Zhang Bao, the general of the Digong Dynasty, was killed by Huangfu Song and Julu Taishou Guo Dian together, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that the once powerful Yellow Turban Thief has not been able to jump for a few days, and the generals of the Righteous Army used their real names differently, and the small group of Yellow Turban Army generals who are still struggling to breathe are now afraid that they will harm the clan, plus there is a nickname that is also more majestic, most of them hide their real names, such as the current Qu Shuai of this remnant army, because of his thick beard, People only call him General Qiangen without his name, but even his surname is hidden.
The generals are like this, and the little moth thieves are naturally up and down, and the same is true for Xu Dumu and Deng Pimple, Deng Ji was only twelve years old when he joined the gang, and his body was far less strong than today's, with small arms and legs, and his companions only called him Pimple, and he has been used until now.
In the moth thieves for two years, Deng Pimple relied on his young age, pretending to be dead in the war, surrendering, and retreating from the battle, and finally could save a small life, if it weren't for the fact that the place where the yellow turban passed was not populated, and the government and big households refused to accept such a chaotic people, he would have been a deserter a long time ago.
Now that Deng Ji is actually asked to be the tun chief, isn't it to let this little life that was saved with great difficulty be ruined again?
In fact, he has participated in countless battles, Deng Pimple has already killed people, of course, there is no outstanding feats, but he can't stand the seniority of the people, now this group of tens of thousands of moth thieves in the elm forest, most of them are new recruits in Ruyang, Yongqiu and Jiyin County, more than 2,000 are escaped after the first battle in Jingshan Mountain, and the old yellow scarf before the capture of Wancheng is no more than fifty, and then remove the old and weak women and children, Deng Ji, a young man who is only fourteen years old, is really unreasonable not to be the head of the tun.
In terms of qualifications, not to mention Xu Dumu, maybe even General Shan Gen is not as good as him, although Deng Ji is not very old, but this qualification is only mixed under Xu Dumu, and he is in charge of dozens of women and children, which is really too shabby.
Note 1: Before the unification of Qin, the "mu" of various countries was not unified, Fan and Zhongxing's took 160 steps in length and width as mu, Han and Wei 200 steps as mu, Qin and Zhao 240 steps, and the country in the early Western Han Dynasty implemented the combination of large and small mu, 100 steps for small mu and 240 steps for large mu, and only after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did he unify the use of large mu, six feet for the step, 23 cm per foot, and 465 square meters for one acre. It is much smaller than today's 666.67 square meters of one acre, an average of 20 acres of land for a labor force in the Han Dynasty, due to backward production technology, the grain yield is very low, the yield per mu is about one stone, about 120 catties (only 225 grams per catty, equivalent to less than 60 catties of modern weight units), after paying various harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, there is not much left.
Note 2: "Moth thief", the name of the Yellow Turban thief at the time.
