"What? Are you discussing what to do with Zhu Ba? Wang Jiayin was taken aback.

Wang Jiayin's age is actually not very old, just like all the leaders of the rebel army who revolted in the late Ming Dynasty, he is also at the age of the most energetic and energetic in his life, and he is just in his early thirties.

Why are all the leaders of the peasant rebels so old?

In fact, this truth is very simple, there is a saying in later generations, the older the rivers and lakes, the less courageous, and those who dare to expose themselves and do it with the court are often young people.

Wang Jiayin's body was very strong, tall and mighty, and he was wearing a cleanly washed mandarin duck jacket, dark red in color, with a few holes on it, but he didn't patch the holes, so he let these holes break.

This mandarin duck jacket was a military uniform issued to him by the imperial court when he was a border army, and he has been wearing this dress when he was a soldier, and he has worn it for many years, so he is reluctant to throw it away.

Occasionally, when he had spare time, he would point to the hole in his clothes and show it to his subordinates, and said with a smile: "Look at this hole, Lao Tzu once met a wanted criminal on patrol, and fought with him for fifty rounds, and he was stabbed here, so his clothes were torn ...... holes" and so on, it can be seen that he is a person who misses the old, even the old clothes!

"Why do you want to discuss what to do to Zhu Ba? What happened? Wang Jiayin's face suddenly sank, and he didn't look very good. He met Li Yichun on the way here, and the kid hurriedly asked him to come over quickly, and he had a bad feeling in his heart at that time, but he didn't expect to come here, and the first thing he heard was that his brother wanted to do something to Baishui Zhuba, and his mood sank a little suddenly.

The corners of Zhang Xianzhong's eyes twitched slightly, he approached, saluted Wang Jiayin, and then said seriously: "Big brother...... Lao Tzu was the first to take Xiying here, and at that time, he ...... "He told Zhu Yuanzhang to welcome him and not let him go to the main village, but only let him go up to a pre-prepared hill to stay." It's also interesting to say, even if Zhang Xianzhong is facing Wang Jiayin, he is talking like "Lao Tzu Lao Tzu", but everyone doesn't think he is rude.

(Note: Zhang Xianzhong was classified as Xiying in Wang Jiayin's army, also known as the Eight Kings of Xiying, so he said that he took Xiying.) ）

Wang Jiayin listened with a calm face, and then Wang Gao Yingxiang glanced at Li Zicheng, Li Zicheng also came over and said to Wang Jiayin: "Big brother, Zhu Ba also treated us like this...... It can be seen from here that this person does not want to be with us...... Obviously, we are not all the way, and in the future, we may defect to the government and become our enemy...... It is better for us to take his stockade and take it for ourselves. ”

Wang Jiayin's brows furrowed tightly: "Who else agrees with you?" ”

"Zijin Liang, Sweeping King, Xing Red Wolf, Black Evil God, King of Troubled Times, Crashing Sky, Eight Kings ......" Gao Yingxiang reported his name with a long stream of wine: "Those of us who arrived first all felt that something was wrong, so everyone agreed to take his stockade." ”

Wang Jiayin heard this long name, and suddenly groaned: "Zijin Liang...... I remember, it was Chongzhen's first winter that unveiled the uprising, right? ”

"It's good that the eldest brother remembers the surname!" The King of Zijin Liang next to him replied to himself, "I came to you in winter. ”

"King Sweeper, it was Chongzhen's rebellion in the autumn of the second year!" Wang Jiayin continued.

"Big brother actually remembers me!" The sweeping king next to him replied with a smile.

"Eight kings, you are Chongzhen for three years, that is, this year, the ...... of the uprising"

Zhang Xianzhong nodded, he was pointed out by Wang Jiayin that he only participated in the uprising this year, which was quite embarrassing! Because this thing is actually mixed with "rivers and lakes", and the rivers and lakes are about qualifications! If you make a late debut, you have to obediently call the person who debuted early a senior, which is a sure thing that you can't run away. It is a very common sentiment for the peasant army to be proud of the early uprising and ashamed of the late uprising.

Wang Jiayin suddenly counted this matter, and everyone felt a little strange.

He called the names of the leaders of the rebel army under him in turn, and finally suddenly asked, "Do you know, Baishui Zhuba, when did you uncover the uprising?" ”

"This ......" The leaders glanced at each other, and no one answered, not that they didn't know, but they were embarrassed to say, because they all knew that Baishui Zhuba rebelled in the autumn of the first year of Chongzhen, and the time of his uprising was earlier than any of them.

Wang Jiayin sighed deeply: "I see you all know, but you don't dare to say it...... Let me tell you! The first person in western Shaanxi who had the courage to stand up and rebel was called Zheng Yanfu, and he failed within a few days of the rebellion! His defeat frightened many heroes and heroes, and everyone dared to be angry with the court at that time, because they were afraid of being defeated and killed like Zheng Yanfu. ”

"At this critical time, it was Baishui Zhuba who stood up, and he sent a person named Desperate Saburo to travel all over Shaanxi, contact the rebels in various places, and agree to revolt after the autumn, and the person he contacted at that time was me...... At that time, I was so timid that I didn't dare to be a bird, and I was afraid that I would also be exterminated by the imperial court...... He didn't hesitate at all, saying that rebellion would be rebellion, in the autumn of Chongzhen's first year, it was Zhu Ba's first uprising, until the news of his rebellion came, I was bold and followed...... "When Wang Jiayin talked about these past events, he was a little excited, because he was really a very nostalgic person, and whenever he remembered the past, he would be embarrassed.

After Wang Jiayin finished telling these past events, he turned a pair of affectionate eyes around and swept them over everyone's faces in turn, and then he said with a slight anger: "You say that such a person is not on the same path as us?" Will he take refuge in the government in the future? Are you going to do anything to him? Take his cottage? Ha...... Have all your righteous anger been eaten by dogs? ”

“……”

Everyone is silent!

All of a sudden, all the proud men were moved by Wang Jiayin's righteousness, and they were a little ashamed of themselves. Wang Jiayin said this, some of them know, Chongzhen in the first year of the desperate San Lang traveled all over Shaanxi, and visited several of the leaders, they recalled the past, Zhu Ba was indeed the first rebel army to stand up firmly to rebel, saying that he would take refuge in the government, it was really a bit unreliable.

This is the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang insisted on revolting in an environment where he was not fully prepared and the conditions were very difficult.

Zijin Liang Wang for his own use, Chuang Wang Gao Yingxiang and others all lowered their heads: "Big brother...... We...... We were wrong, you are right, it is absolutely impossible for Baishui Zhuba to go together with the government, we are wrong. ”

In the crowd, only Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong's heads are still upright, they will not be moved by the nihilistic thing of "righteousness", they are heroes, they will only use success or failure or interests to measure the things in front of them, and will not be easily swayed by feelings.

The two of them looked at each other, and they both felt that it was tricky! It is not easy to convince Wang Jiayin! Because this kind of emotionally important person is the most difficult to persuade with interests.

Li Zicheng sighed lightly, shook his head at Zhang Xianzhong without a trace, and signaled him to give up and stop dwelling on this matter. But Zhang Xianzhong is a little different from Li Zicheng, Li Zicheng is a man whose reason is greater than his madness, but Zhang Xianzhong is a man who is mad and more rational than his reason.

Zhang Xianzhong was going to give it another try, he took a step forward and said to Wang Jiayin: "Big brother...... In that case, why didn't Zhu Ba dare to let us go to his cottage? arranged us on another hill, making it clear that we don't treat us as a family. ”

That's a good question! I wanted to ask too! Wang Jiayin snorted and said: "If we have such a question in our hearts, we should ask it in front of Zhu Ba, Ming people don't do dark things, they can say whatever they want, and if they have questions, they will raise them, this is a well-known man." ”

When he said this, he paused and said loudly: "Let's go, everyone come with me to see Zhu Ba, I want to ask in front of him, what does he mean by doing this?" ”

Wang Jiayin meditated on his shabby mandarin duck jacket, swept away a little dust on it, straightened his appearance, and said to the other leader: "Take care of me, and you must not lose your manners in the face of Brother Zhu, the first uprising in Shaanxi!" ”

"Yes!" The leaders had no choice but to follow Wang Jiayin to tidy up their appearance.

Wang Jiayin took the lead, took a big step and walked towards Zhu Yuanzhang's cottage, dignified and upright, without a trace of hesitation.

As soon as he walked to the foot of the mountain, before he had time to walk to the path up the mountain, he saw Zhu Ba come out, and also brought a large group of leaders, including Wang Jiayin who had met the desperate San Lang, this group of people greeted the speed, not fast, not slow, not hurry, just coincidentally, blocked him in front of the road up the mountain......

Wang Jiayin's heart trembled slightly, this person really wanted to turn me away! But this little emotion can't hide the joy he felt when he first saw Zhu Ba, because the person in front of him, since the first autumn of Chongzhen's uprising, Wang Jiayin has always regarded him as a comrade-in-arms, although the two armies have not fought side by side together, but they have fought together against the government in different places for two years. Invisibly, Wang Jiayin, who values feelings, has regarded Zhu Ba as an old friend who has been friends for a long time......

"White Water Zhuba...... I've finally met you! Wang Jiayin said happily.

"Fugu Wang Jiayin, I have admired your name for a long time!" Zhu Yuanzhang calmly hugged his fists.
