"What? Have you rebelled? Who are you? Zheng Yanfu was shocked.

At this time, the vigorous peasant uprising has not yet broken out in an all-round way, and those who dare to claim to have rebelled can never be any heroes, but can only be some rogue bandits, deserters and soldiers, Zhu Yuanzhang said that he had rebelled, which is equivalent to saying that he is not a good person, how can Zheng Yanfu not be surprised?

"Who do you care about me!" Zhu Yuanzhang smiled: "I only ask you, do you want to know what to do after killing officials and rebelling?" ”

Zheng Yanfu was shocked, but he didn't know why, he felt a kind of certainty, a kind of confidence and calmness from Zhu Yuanzhang's body, when he said the word rebellion, his expression was calm, and his tone was calm, as if rebellion was a very common thing, and the confident appearance when he rebelled seemed to tell Zheng Yanfu that his rebellion was successful, which made Zheng Yanfu can't help but believe him.

"Then you say...... What to do? Zheng Yanfu asked.

Zhu Yuanzhang stretched out two fingers and said: "To know what to do next, first of all, you have to ask your ambition, after killing the official and rebelling, you will grab a sum of money and grain from the county warehouse, you will have two choices, one is to take the money and grain to find a place to hide and live for the rest of your life, just to save your life and not die...... If you choose this path, then you must not take any of your subordinates or brothers to live incognito and hide in other counties. As a result, you become a fugitive, you don't have a household registration, and you can only look like a rat crossing the street everywhere you go. ”

"Why can't you take your brothers or subordinates with you on this path?" Zheng Yanfu said strangely.

Zhu Yuanzhang's face sank, and he said seriously: "The kind of person who has no household registration and will be arrested by the government at any time to kill or confiscate the army, is a heavy pressure for anyone, your brother, maybe tomorrow he will go to the government to betray you, and use your head to change them to a good citizen recognized by the government......"

"It can't be...... There can be no such thing! Zheng Yanfu said loudly.

Zhu Yuanzhang had a mocking expression on his face and looked at him coldly.

After Zheng Yanfu roared twice, he slowly turned silent, and finally lowered his head: "I won't choose this road, I, Zheng Yanfu, will never be a street rat that everyone shouts and beats." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded in his heart, he knew that Zheng Yanfu would not choose this road, so he put up a second finger and said seriously: "The second road, Water Margin Liangshan!" ”

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, stories such as "Water Margin" and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" have been widely circulated and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Especially the poor people, most of them like to listen to such a paragraph or two around Mr. Storyteller after tea and dinner, and the folk recognition of the heroes in "Water Margin" and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is very high.

For example, in the sixth year of Chongzhen, Yang Jinchao, an official in Wu'an County, Zhangde Prefecture, Henan Province, mentioned the names of the following leaders of the rebel army in a letter to Emperor Chongzhen: Jiuwen Long (Nine Dragons), Yizhangqing, Guan Suo (Guan Suo), Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, Lao Zhang Fei, Cao Ying (Luo Rucai), ...... At that time, the leader of the peasant rebel army liked to use the heroes of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" or "Water Margin" as his nickname when he rebelled, on the one hand, he admired these heroes, and on the other hand, he also wanted to cover up his real name, so as not to involve his relatives.

Zhu Yuanzhang set the second path for Zheng Yanfu, originally wanted to ask him if he wanted to be the emperor, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed the emperor back and changed it to the words "Water Margin Liangshan". Because he knew that people like Zheng Yanfu had limited vision, he definitely didn't think about being an emperor, and he asked in vain. If it really provoked his desire to be an emperor, it would be unfavorable to control.

The four words "Water Margin Liangshan" were obviously just right, and when they fell on Zheng Yanfu's ears, it was like a thunderclap in the sky, his whole body stiffened, and he couldn't help but say: "That's right!" After killing officials and rebelling, I went to Liangshan to settle for the grass ......"

"Do you know where Liangshan is?" Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.

"Uh...... Then you said to go to Liangshan again? You're bluffing me! Zheng Yanfu was furious.

"Liangshan is not in the world, but in your heart." Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "As long as you have the mind to go to Liangshan, you can build a Liangshan by yourself." ”

Zheng Yanfu muttered two sentences, his mind was agitated, he listened to "Water Margin" since he was a child, yearning for the heroic deeds of the heroes of Liangshan who killed officials and rebelled, and hated that he was not born hundreds of years earlier to invest in Liangshan. Now that someone told him that he could also build a Liangshan, how could he not be excited? He no longer spoke to Zhu Yuanzhang viciously, and began to become respectful, and said seriously: "Hero, teach me quickly, how can I build a Liangshan by myself?" Where to build? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang thought to himself: Finally hooked, this person can be used by me.

He was silent for a few breaths, deliberately making Zheng Yanfu become more impatient, and he was even more eager to listen to what he said, so he said slowly: "If you want to go to Liangshan, you must first ensure that you can retreat after killing Zhang Douyao, and I will tell you now how to escape from the encirclement and suppression of officers and soldiers safely." ”

He waved his hand, pointed in the direction of the county seat, and said: "When you brought hundreds of villagers into the county seat, you were all of one heart, and everyone was fighting for survival......

"That's right, my brother and I must be of the same mind." Zheng Yanfu said.

Zhu Yuanzhang gestured with both hands to a space the size of a house, and continued: "When you kill Zhang Douyao and open the county warehouse, you can get about this amount of food and silver...... At this time...... Your brothers and your men will no longer be united. Some of them will choose the first way, taking money and food to find a place to live like rats. Some people will have the same mind as you to go to Liangshan. And what you have to do is to pick out people who think the same way as you, so that they can walk with you. ”

"How is this going to be done?" Zheng Yanfu's face became heavy, and he humbly asked for advice.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled slightly, spread his hands and said: "Give them all the money, grain and rice that I just grabbed, and then let the big guys scatter in all directions, and agree that one day later, they will meet again on Hutou Mountain in the west of the city." ”

"Why?" Zheng Yanfu said puzzledly: "Let them run away with me together in a rope, wouldn't it be more powerful to fight when they encounter officers and soldiers?" ”

"No, no matter how thick the rope you carry, your arms can't reach your thighs." Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said, "I just said that your two or three hundred rabble, you only need twenty officers and soldiers to defeat them. Rather than walking together and being stopped and killed by the officers and soldiers, it is better to scatter and flee after the robbery is successful, and the officers and soldiers do not know which way to intercept, so they have to be stationed in the county town first, and do not pursue you for the time being. If you all walk together, the officers and soldiers will not go to the county seat, but will chase you until they are completely destroyed. ”

Zheng Yanfu nodded as if he didn't understand.

Zhu Yuanzhang said slowly: "Reuniting on Hutou Mountain after a day is the first test." The person who had just killed the official and rebelled was crazy and excited, and his whole body was in a state of excitement. But if you give them a night to think, some people will be afraid, and some people will have money and food, and their minds will change...... These people will not come again when they agree to reunite the next day, so you can get rid of the weak-willed people in the team without your hands......"

"Silk!" Zheng Yanfu gasped, who was this person standing in front of him? He opened his mouth casually, and actually came up with such a powerful strategy, which could not only defuse the pursuit of officers and soldiers, but also easily reorganize his own team.

He really believes that Zhu Yuanzhang has rebelled before, and this means of grasping people's hearts alone is far beyond his reach.

Zhu Yuanzhang said again: "After gathering on Hutou Mountain in the west of the city the next day, you and your team will be targeted by officers and soldiers again...... Choose it in the mountains between Chengcheng and Baishui counties. ”

"Why did you disperse this time?" Zheng Yanfu asked sincerely.

"Just like last time, disperse to avoid the officers and soldiers, and at the same time clear the ranks of unstable elements." Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "Again and again, again and again, I scattered again and again, and used this move to tell my brothers that the road to Liangshan is not easy to walk, and not just anyone is qualified to go, and then give them a second chance to think about it, it's too late to be a mouse." ”

"Why did you choose the location in the mountains between the two counties?"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled slightly, and said seriously: "Do you know why bandits have been infested in the mountains between two counties, or two prefectures, or two provinces since ancient times? ”

"I don't know!"

"Because of that place, the officers and soldiers of Chengcheng went to suppress the bandits, and the bandits entered the jurisdiction of Baishui, and the officers and soldiers of Chengcheng could only stare dryly. The officers and soldiers of Baishui went to suppress the bandits, and the bandits entered the jurisdiction of Chengcheng, and the officers and soldiers of Baishui could only stare dryly......" Zhu Yuanzhang said in a low voice: "The garrisons on both sides have no power to cross the border to pursue the enemy soldiers, so they have to go to the prefect of Xi'an Mansion and let the government transfer a senior official who can manage two counties at the same time......"

Zheng Yanfu suddenly realized: "I understand, the government's actions have always been slow and procrastinating, and when this big official who can manage the two counties arrives, I can go to a new place...... Belch...... Strongman, where should I go next time? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at him without looking good, and sighed: "Of course, next time I will go to the junction between the two provinces, and when I get to that kind of place, let alone two county orders or two prefectures, even the governors of the two provinces are not convenient to make a move, and you must send the governor-level officials of the two provinces to send troops to clear up, once you reach the junction of the two provinces, you don't need to run away, you can start building your own Liangshan ......"

Zhu Yuanzhang's mind spun quickly, with his understanding of the Ming Dynasty, in just a few breaths, he thought of an excellent hiding place, stretched out his hand to the north, and said seriously: "Huanglong Mountain, you go to Huanglong Mountain......
