109. Stationed
The small episode passed, and everyone continued into the mountain. Zhang Yingxian, who completely lost the ability to walk, could only be carried by people, her personal maid first carried a section, and then handed it to Qiu Ye's back after she was tired, and then changed to a maid's back, fortunately she had eighteen maids, so she took turns to change her back and forth, but she could barely keep up with the team.
Zhang Yingxian This is the first time to enter the mountain area, and she has always been a young lady who has not gone out of the gate before, and she suddenly came into contact with the beautiful scenery in the mountains, but she felt quite novel. The long procession winds its way along the mountain road in a line, and when you look around, you can see strangely shaped rocks and plants that you have never seen before.
Although the whole world is suffering from a great drought, the situation in Huanglong Mountain is good, the plants in the mountain are still green, not scorched and dead, and even have nameless small flowers, and occasionally you can see a small stream flowing happily. Many villagers knelt down on the edge of the stream and drank the water in their hands.
Qiu Ye also went to hold a handful of water and handed it to Zhang Yingxian's mouth, she took a sip carefully, and a cool feeling spread throughout her body, refreshing.
As the team continues to go deeper into Huanglong Mountain, the altitude also begins to slowly get higher, of course, the altitude of more than 1,000 meters will not appear any altitude sickness and other diseases, only make people feel fresh air and breathe smoothly.
Zhang Yingxian had just been bullied and cried, but now that she was blown by the mountain wind, her mood improved a little, she turned her head left and right, looking at this mountain world that she had never been in contact with in a novel way, and suddenly saw Zhu Yuanzhang with more than a hundred brothers in the palace who were cutting flowers and trees along the road, and also sent a few teams to go out in all directions, cutting flowers and plants everywhere.
"Hey! What are you doing! Zhang Yingxian was anxious, this beautiful mountain scenery was making her feel relaxed, but she didn't expect that Zhu Ba, the man, would start to sabotage again, and it would be enough to bully her, why should she even bully the flowers and trees in the mountains? She saw a large area of flowers and plants being cut to pieces by Zhu Yuanzhang, and she couldn't help but feel heartache.
Miss Fu is like this, because life is too comfortable, so she is in the mood to love flowers and plants, such as Lin Daiyu in "Dream of Red Mansions", there is a famous bridge section such as "Funeral Flower Yin".
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head, glanced at her, and said in a deep voice: "I am destroying the traces of walking, and it is not easy to find us when the officers and soldiers enter the mountains to encircle and suppress us." ”
"But these flowers and plants ......," Zhang Yingxian said urgently.
Without waiting for her to finish, Zhu Yuanzhang said seriously: "People can't live anymore, how can they take care of flowers and plants...... Put away your useless thoughts. ”
Zhang Yingxian pouted.
The team winds its way through the mountains, desperately rushing during the day to destroy the traces of walking, and at night finding a dry and smooth ravine to rest. Zhang Yingxian was most worried that Zhu Yuanzhang would arrest her to warm the bed at night, but this terrible thing never happened, at night the villagers would use grain bags to pile up a small circular area, she and her maids slept in it, and Ma Xiaotian would lead a team of soldiers to patrol the night to ensure that no wild beasts attacked the team.
In this way, I walked peacefully for several days, the mountain became higher and higher, and suddenly the vision in front of me opened, and a steep and towering small peak appeared, this small peak was not conspicuous in the endless Huanglong Mountain Range, and it was impossible to notice it from a distance, but when I looked closely, I felt that it was like a flat uproot, very abrupt. Some caves can be seen on the top of the peaks, and there are figures shaking at the entrances of the caves.
Finally in place!
This is the place chosen by Zheng Yanfu, who has changed his name to Desperate Saburo, the mountain peak is very steep, full of craggy strange rocks, there are only three ways up the mountain, two of which are the kind of paths that only one person can climb, the road in front of the mountain is slightly wider, but it also only allows four or five people to walk side by side, which can be said to be easy to defend and difficult to attack.
There are many caves on the mountain, large and small, deep and shallow, which can be turned into countless natural houses for people to live in with a little reconstruction, and there is also a wide flat land on the top of the mountain, which can be used for military training.
The most rare thing is that there is still a water source on this small peak, and there is a spring that keeps coming out, forming a small stream that flows down from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain.
Zhu Yuanzhang also took the time to come and see it once, and felt that this place was well chosen. After a shameful failure, it took him half a year to travel all over Shaanxi, contact with many things, broaden his horizons, and his vision of choosing the address of the cottage was naturally raised, so even Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't find anything wrong with the mountain he chose.
There are many villagers on the mountain waiting for the arrival of the large army, Wang Erhe is also desperate Saburo, seeing Zhu Yuanzhang leading the team to return safely, the people in the team are carrying heavy grain bags, and the villagers on the mountain let out a huge cheer.
Zhu Yuanzhang walked up the mountain with a smile, Wang Er and Desperate Saburo greeted him together, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhu, we have finally succeeded in taking the first step." ”
"Hmm!" Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.
Wang Er's eyes were sharp, and when he saw a few soldiers with colors on them, he couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?" Went to war? ”
"Yes, a gentry organized a village warrior team and caught up and fought." Zhu Yuanzhang said lightly: "We won." ”
When Wang Er heard this, he immediately beat his chest with remorse: "Oh my God, why didn't I catch up with this battle?" ”
Ma Xiaotian, who was next to him, was clever and hurried over and said, "Second Brother Wang, do you want to listen to me tell you the details of this battle?" ”
Wang Er's eyes lit up, and he said with great joy: "Come on, let's find a quiet cave, you tell me to listen!" ”
Wang Er was a militant, and when the officers and soldiers went to kill Zheng Yanfu, he had to follow the past to see the excitement, which shows the surname love. Therefore, he was also very interested in Zhu Yuanzhang's defeat of the Xiangyong team, so he took Ma Xiaotian and hurried away.
Desperate San Lang looked much calmer, and when Wang Er walked away, he reported in a low voice: "Brother Zhu, I have done everything you arranged, the last batch of grain is stored in the largest cave on the top of the mountain, and some trustworthy brothers have been arranged to guard the entrance of the cave and not let everyone take it casually." You can also store the grain you have shipped in it, and there is still a lot of space inside. ”
"Hmm!"
Desperate Saburo suddenly lowered his voice and said: "Among the villagers brought by Second Brother Wang, there are a few guys who want to rush into the cave where we store grain to see how much grain we have, but they were beaten by me, and they are still recuperating from their injuries. ”
"Well played!" Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "From now on, we have to rectify discipline, we can't let them be a mess anymore, and we must slowly turn them into an army that abides by military discipline, so ...... What can and cannot be done must be known from now on. ”
Desperately San Lang lowered his voice: "Brother Zhu, I am Zheng Yanfu, please help me keep it secret...... You know, I'm a person who has been defeated by the government, and if my name is revealed, these villagers will not trust me and will not listen to me. ”
"Hmm!" Zhu Yuanzhang also said seriously: "If you don't say this, I also want to tell you, don't expose your real name, otherwise it will affect the morale of the army." You should go and arrange for these brothers to live in a suitable cave first. ”
Desperately Saburo responded: "There is a spacious and comfortable cave on the top of the mountain, which is for reading, and there are no other idlers living in it, it is for you...... It just so happened that you arrested the second young grandmother of the Ma family...... This cave is suitable for a cave house, haha! ”
Zhu Yuanzhang: "......"
In the next whole day, the whole small mountain peak is very lively, the villagers live in various caves under the arrangement of desperate San Lang, some caves on this mountain are extremely large, and hundreds of people can live in them, and the villagers who followed Zhu Yuanzhang into the mountain are not only men, but also women, as well as children and the elderly, these people take the family as a unit, divide the territory in the cave, and each family can get a very spacious place.
And some small caves are suitable for people with slightly special identities in the team to live, for example, Zhu Yuanzhang was assigned to a reading cave near the top of the mountain, and Wang Er and Desperate Saburo also each had a small reading cave. More than 200 soldiers who were Zhu Yuanzhang's most confidants were also separated from ordinary villagers and lived in a special cave.
The most special and troublesome thing in this is Zhang Yingxian and her eighteen maids, how to place this vote, but it really makes Zhu Yuanzhang very sad, and he can't explain to others why he robbed Zhang Yingxian, so he can only let others treat her as his wife......
Since she is Mrs. Press, you can't sleep separately from yourself, right? That will arouse suspicion in others, and if you ask, it will be troublesome. Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want to take the time to explain this kind of thing.
When assigned to Zhang Yingxian, Zhu Yuanzhang personally walked over and ordered: "You and I live in a cave." ”
"What?" Zhang Yingxian's face changed miserably, after being robbed, she had been worried about this matter, but she didn't expect that she would have to face it just after she arrived at the place.
"What? Have an objection? Zhu Yuanzhang said with a calm face.
"Yes...... Don't ......" Zhang Yingxian wanted to refuse but didn't dare.
"That's it!" Zhu Yuanzhang pointed to his cave and said: "Ask your maid to carry you in, find a dry place to make a bed with blades of grass, there are only such conditions in the mountains, don't think about the comfortable life before......" He paused and said: "Supplement my bed." ”
"Woo......" Zhang Yingxian was angry in her heart, this man is really too domineering, he wants to forcibly occupy a woman, and he actually wants this woman to supplement the bed by herself, not to bully people like this! But she is not a fool after all, she slightly recalled Zhu Yuanzhang's words, and suddenly picked out a fault in that paragraph.
Just now he said that he would make a bed first, and then give him a bed...... From the meaning of this sentence, he wants to sleep in a separate bed with me? Zhang Yingxian couldn't help but ask apprehensively, "Make two beds?" ”
"Nonsense, two of course! How can you sleep two people in one bed? Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know that the little woman's heart in front of him had turned two or three times, and she had thought about a lot of messy things. And he didn't treat Zhang Yingxian as his own woman at all, so what he said didn't look like a family at all. If it's really a husband and wife, why can't two people sleep in one bed?
Zhu Yuanzhang's speech was heard by Zhang Yingxian, and she couldn't help but be overjoyed, a smile flashed on her face, she nodded violently and said: "Okay, I asked the maid to make the bed, make it immediately, go and make it now!" ”
Zhu Yuanzhang shrugged his shoulders strangely, not understanding what she was happy about at all. Emperor Hongwu knows the human heart well, and the only thing he can't understand is what women are thinking!
