102. Situation
Miss Zhang's mouth opened wide, and she couldn't close it for a long time, and after a long time, she said with difficulty: "Explain to the government, just say that I finally escaped, okay?" ”
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and didn't say anything, just looked at her calmly.
After a while, without waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang to speak, Miss Zhang lowered her head and said with a wry smile: "Such an explanation can't work...... The chaotic people besieged the mansion, and I escaped intact with eighteen maids, which is simply a fool's dream, not to mention that the government doesn't believe it, even I don't believe it. ”
"Even if the government believes it!" Zhu Yuanzhang sighed lightly: "You still have to die, because you escaped from a large crowd of mobs, no one will believe that you still maintain your chastity, Second Young Master Ma will definitely insist that you have been insulted by the chaotic people, saying that you have lost the face of the Ma family...... The next thing is going to take you to the pig pen, believe it or not? ”
Miss Zhang's face changed, if her father-in-law was a good person, she didn't believe it, but her father-in-law was Ma Zhibin, the famous second young master of the Ma family, with a very poor surname, she heard this in her ears and immediately believed it.
"That's why I said, robbing you is the only way to keep you alive." Zhu Yuanzhang sighed lightly, in fact, he was not interested in Miss Zhang's family, and he didn't want to use such a woman as Mrs. Zhai, but he had to do something to shame the Ma family, so that the Ma family could be removed from this chaos and let the government believe that the Ma family did not support the uprising behind the scenes, so as not to cause Miss Ma San to be inexplicably implicated to her death.
turned a few times, took many detours, said a lot of insincere words, and even gave himself a wife who was inexplicably put on the village, he just didn't want the woman who looked like Queen Bigfoot to die, it can't be said that he didn't work hard. Men are like this, they go to great lengths to do one thing, go around the mountains and rivers and make eighteen bends, just for the good of their beloved woman, but it's a pity...... The woman didn't know.
Miss Zhang's face turned from white to blue, and then from green to white, and after a long time, she said: "You can grab the autumn leaves to be your wife of the village, she is very willing, you don't have to choose me...... Shall I follow your team and be a laundry worker, okay? ”
"No way!" Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head, didn't even look at the autumn leaves, and said, "The amount of autumn leaves is not enough......
Robbing a maid to be the lady of the village, obviously not as important as robbing the second young grandmother of the Ma family, and sweeping the face of the Ma family is not thorough enough, Zhu Yuanzhang is impossible to choose like this, as a hero, he will only choose the means closest to his goal.
Miss Zhang's face was bitter...... She also has nothing to say, in the face of powerful forces, a weak woman like her has no power to decide her future at all. There are countless such women in history, who have been robbed by the powerful, today it is the wife of this person, and tomorrow it is the wife of that person, and these women dare not resist.
"Don't put on a face like this...... Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said: "It's better to be my wife than Ma Zhibin's waste...... Hey...... In the future, at least one can be sealed...... Never mind! When I didn't say. He originally wanted to say that he could at least seal a concubine, but when he was about to say something, he suddenly thought: What are you boasting about a woman? This kind of thing, just do it for others to see, you don't need to say it on your lips, and accepting her as Mrs. Zhai is just an expedient measure, it doesn't mean that you really want to treat her as your own woman, and this kind of thing as Feng Guifei may not be her turn, so I suppressed this sentence.
"By the way, Miss Zhang...... I can't always call you Miss Zhang, right? In the future, if I want to rob you to be my wife, I have to use a decent name, what is your girl's name? Zhu Yuanzhang asked casually.
Miss Zhang smiled bitterly and said in a low voice: "Zhang Yingxian ......"
"Well, good name!" Zhu Yuanzhang turned around and left, never looking at her again.
Before he stepped out of the door, he heard a cowardly and unwilling voice behind him ask, "Brother Zhu...... I...... What about me? ”
It's Qiuye's voice, she has always loved Zhu Bugling deeply, this year, she has helped Zhu Baba clean the house, wash clothes, serve tea and water, and ask for warmth, even when she knew that Zhu Bugling was going to rebel, she didn't denounce him, and even thought about helping him cover up...... Unexpectedly, in the end, Baba Zhu actually chose her young lady, which really made her soft and unable to cry.
She is just a humble maid, knowing that her status is low, she doesn't dare to compete with her own young lady for a man at all, but ...... Things have come to this point, you have to fight for yourself, right? She mustered up twelve points of courage and asked seriously, "Brother Zhu...... What about me? What should I do? ”
"What to do without need!" Zhu Yuanzhang said without looking back: "Continue to help me wash my clothes and clean it, my house will be handed over to you." ”
Autumn leaves: What does this mean? Will you continue to let me be a maid? Sure enough, I was the life of a maid......
-------------
Under the escort of Zhu Yuanzhang's henchmen, truckloads of grain were transported to Huanglong Mountain, and two days later, half of the grain had been transported out.
Zhu Yuanzhang sat in the Ma family's compound, waiting for the grain to be delivered, and at the same time sent Ma Xiaotian to inquire about the situation in Baishui* County.
According to Ma Xiaotian's report, Baishui is still in chaos and in a state of disorder, with a group of people from Chongguang Dao burning and looting aimlessly, and their actions are completely unplanned, making the entire * county a mess.
Almost all the squires in Baishui suffered, and were killed by a group of people in Chongguangdao, a few of them were clever, and the squires who were far away from the scene of the uprising had already rolled up and ran away, and there were a few squires who were relatively close to the three hundred households in Baishui, and they were backed by the hundred households of the imperial court, and they were more confident, so they paid to recruit Xiangyong and formed a Xiangyong team, planning to fight with a group of people in Chongguangdao.
"How's the movement of the officers and soldiers?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked seriously.
Ma Xiaotian immediately reported: "The officers and soldiers are huddled in the hundred households, and there is no movement...... However, there is an interesting thing, the group of Chongguang Dao was divided into many small units, and robbed in the countryside, and one group of about 200 people rushed to the squire Qian's house, which was relatively close to the 100 households in the southwest, and wanted to burn, kill and loot. The Qian family organized a village warrior team, about a hundred people, to fight against the group of Chongguang Dao. ”
"Hmm...... If this happens, the officers and soldiers in the Hundred Households should come out! Zhu Yuanzhang laughed in a low voice: "If the number of people does not fall too much, the courage of the officers and soldiers will become greater, and they will be killed from the hundred households immediately." ”
Ma Xiaotian gave a big thumbs up and said with a smile: "It is worthy of Brother Zhu, the judgment is still so accurate!" The officers and soldiers in the 100 households saw that the number of people in the group of people in the Seed Light Road was about the same as that of the Xiang Yong team, and they immediately rushed out of the 100 households, and the result was ...... Hey, let's guess again, which side won? ”
"Do you still need to guess?" Zhu Yuanzhang scolded with a smile: "Chongguangdao's subordinates didn't dare to fight, so they fled directly, so there was no battle at all." ”
"Wow, you're a god, you can guess that?" Ma Xiaotian was so impressed that he threw himself to the ground.
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said nothing, in fact, it is easy to guess, when the mob robbed, the mob still had a certain self-knowledge of their own behavior, and knew that what they were doing was bad. When people do bad things, they lack confidence, lack the spirit of perseverance, and the courage to fight for it. In addition, they are not trained, and when they encounter a regular army, they will inevitably be afraid and afraid, so they will run away before they have even engaged in battle, which is a very normal situation.
But...... If these mobs were not smashing and looting, but doing something for heaven and thinking that they were righteous, they would often not be so vulnerable, but would have the courage to fight to the death, which is another matter, so I won't go into details here.
"We're running out of time!" Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it carefully, and then said seriously: "This time our uprising is different from Zheng Yanfu's time, Zheng Yanfu only killed the county order, and did not make a move against the squire, so the backlash was not fierce or fast. This time, as soon as the squires did this, the village warrior team organized by the squires immediately appeared, and next, the squires will find that if they fight separately, the strength is too weak, and they will merge their own village warrior team together to become an army that can fight against the team of the light path, and at that time, things will be troublesome. ”
"It's not a long process, it only takes a few days for the squire's brave teams to merge, the Light Cultivation Path defeated, and then the squire's goal will turn to us."
"Will the Light Path be defeated?" Ma Xiaotian said a little puzzled: "It is also a team composed of villagers, the combat effectiveness should be about the same, and the light path has a numerical advantage, so it shouldn't lose." ”
"Hehe, it's not that more people will necessarily win!" Zhu Yuanzhang smiled: "The key is ...... Command and Command. Although there are ** hundred, the number of mob troops in the Light Path is still increasing, but these people do not listen to the command, and they are in a mess, and I believe that the Light Path is not capable of commanding them. But the Townsfolk are different, they take the commission given by the squires, and of course they will listen to the orders of the squires...... On the battlefield, an army commanded blindly by a squire who does not understand military affairs is definitely better than an army that does not obey the command at all. ”
Ma Xiaotian opened his mouth: "I don't understand very well!" ”
"Well, let's put it this way!" Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "If the enemy attacks the Ma family from the north. I gave the order to meet the enemy with two hundred men, and two hundred to the east and return to the enemy's rear to flank them. If an army obeys orders, it can act according to my orders, but if an army does not obey orders, it depends on what the soldiers are happy to do, and they may all stay and meet the enemy head-on, or they may all run behind enemy lines...... As a result, the whole battlefield was in chaos, and each soldier was acting according to his own judgment, and without an overall plan, the final result was inevitable defeat. ”
"Oh, I see......" Ma Xiaotian suddenly realized.
