Forty-three, kill

When Zheng Yanfu saw Zhu Yuanzhang, he was immediately surprised: "You ...... How is it here? ”

"Why can't I be here?" Zhu Yuanzhang smiled: "I'll give you advice, of course I want to see how it goes." ”

"I mean...... You passed through the villagers I brought, and why didn't they attack you? Zheng Yan was really puzzled, at this time the villagers were all red-eyed, and when they saw a person in the yamen, they were beaten to death, and at this time a strange face suddenly appeared, they should be facing each other, even if Zhu Yuanzhang is strong in martial arts, it is impossible to win so many farmers with farm tools. actually let him swagger into the yamen...... It's incredible.

"There's nothing strange about it." Zhu Yuanzhang laughed exaggeratedly: "They now judge whether the people around them are their own people, and they don't rely on their appearance...... It's momentum. Whoever has the smell of blood on them, with that kind of fanaticism of killing officials and rebelling, they will treat that person as their own......"

Speaking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang paused and said with a smile: "When I walked in, I put on a posture of wanting to kill, and muttered in my mouth, 'Kill Zhang Douyao...... Find Zhang Dooyao and kill ......', just like that, the people who were going to attack me took their weapons away, and some people apologized to me, saying that they almost hurt their own brother, and then I walked in and stood in front of you. ”

"Silk!" Zheng Yanfu only felt a chill in his heart, he knew that Zhu Yuanzhang was very powerful, and he could be said to be able to pinch and calculate, but he didn't expect him to be so powerful that he could even use the momentum and atmosphere. If an officer and soldier are as good at camouflage as he is, and touch himself in the back and stab himself, he is afraid that he will think that he is a companion behind him until he dies.

He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said with difficulty: "Zhang Douyao is at home? ”

"Hmm!" Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "You leave fifty people, open the county warehouse, distribute silver money and grain and rice, and bring all the others to Zhang Douyao's house, and move quickly...... If Zhang Douyao is allowed to organize a good team of family members, these villagers of yours may not be his opponents. He spoke casually, and his tone naturally had the flavor of an order, but he said it as a matter of course, and Zheng Yanfu didn't think there was anything wrong.

"Will you go with me?" Zheng Yanfu asked anxiously, he didn't know why, he felt that he needed Zhu Yuanzhang by his side very much, only in this way did he feel that he was at ease and could find the way forward.

"Of course!" Zhu Yuanzhang said seriously: "I also have a reason why I must kill Zhang Douyao's family. When he said this, his heart flashed quickly over Queen Ma's face, which coincided with Miss Ma San's face. Whoever fights this woman's idea except himself, must die.

Zheng Yanfu was overjoyed, turned around and shouted: "The brothers of Nanyao Village stay here, move out the silver money and grain and rice in the county warehouse, and distribute them to everyone when I come back in a while." The rest of the brothers come with me, let's go to Zhang Douyao's house and kill people. ”

"Good!" The villagers replied with a rainbow of momentum.

Zhu Yuanzhang put the hat back on top of his head, covering his appearance, and followed behind Zheng Yanfu.

Zheng Yanfu held a blood-dripping pig-killing knife, took more than 100 brothers, and rushed towards a large mansion a few blocks north of the yamen, which turned out to be Zhang Douyao's home.

Zhang Douyao had already received the news that the yamen was occupied by the rioters, closed the courtyard door tightly, and hid in the backyard, and his subordinates were carrying out the rockery in the back garden, intending to stand behind the door.

Zheng Yanfu came just right, if he came a little later, the rockery had already blocked the gate, and it would be too late. The rich courtyards of this era all had a simple defensive function, and the walls of the courtyards were so high and thick that they could not be easily jumped over. If you can't open the courtyard gate, it will be difficult to get in.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw from the crack in the door that the housekeepers inside were carrying the rockery, and he didn't want to think about it, so he kicked on the door, inserted a wooden bolt behind the door, and three housekeepers desperately pushed the door with their shoulders, but Zhu Yuanzhang didn't kick this kick.

Zheng Yanfu yelled: "I'm going to kick ...... too"

He lifted his bear-sized footboard, mustered up all his strength, and flew up, and the heavy courtyard door made a clattering sound of broken wood, and the bolt behind the door actually broke off, and the three housekeepers who were holding the door flicked backwards at the same time.

What a kick!

The villagers who followed behind Zheng Yanfu saw that their eldest brother was so powerful, and their morale was greatly boosted. More than a dozen people rushed up together, turned sideways and slammed the door with their shoulders, only to hear a huge "bump" sound, the three families behind the door were pushed out, the courtyard door was wide open, and the villagers who followed behind rushed in.

Behind the door, more than a dozen families were carrying the rockery, the gate suddenly crashed open, the rockery did not need to be moved, the family shouted, and ran towards the backyard.

Zheng Yanfu said loudly: "Kill ...... Brothers, kill all Zhang Douyao's lackeys. ”

Chengmin, who was red-eyed, needed his orders, carrying a hoe and sickle, chased after the family, and the entire Zhang family's compound immediately jumped and became a mess. Several guards came out from the inside with a knife, and the knife was light, cutting down two villagers, and the villagers behind immediately rushed up, and dozens of hoes swung together, smashing those guards into pulp.

"Could Zhang Dooyao have already run away?" Zheng Yanfu said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Let's kill in with such fanfare, I'm afraid he has slipped away through the back door......"

"No!" Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said: "You don't understand the rules of officialdom, the county orders of the Ming Dynasty have the responsibility of guarding the land." If he escapes from the county seat when the rebels come, causing the county town to fall, even if he escapes today, he will lose his head tomorrow. Therefore, the officials whose homes were attacked by the rebels would not run out of the city, but would only hide in the back flower courtyard, find a dark corner to shrink, and wait for the rebels to retreat, he could get out, and wrote to Chaoyan that 'under the leadership of the lower officials, the people in the county town were united in their efforts, desperately resisted, and finally drove the rebels out of the city'. ”

Zheng Yanfu was shocked when he heard this, and sighed: "I didn't expect you to have a certain understanding of officialdom...... Who are you? ”

"Don't care who I am, let's find Zhang Douyao." Zhu Yuanzhang pulled the hat lower, completely covered his face, and ran towards the backyard in the lead.

At this time, the Zhang family compound was already very chaotic, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zheng Yanfu ran a few steps, passed through a small corridor, and saw a few families in Tsing Yi and small hats killed on the road. The courtyard was full of figures shaking, and the resistance of the Zhang family was much fiercer than that of the officials in the county yamen, and the sound of weapons clashing kept coming, and someone fell down screaming every moment.

After the two walked through a few corridors, they saw the hanging flower gate of Zhang's mansion, which was the separation between the front yard and the back yard. There are also several families who have died by the Hanging Flower Gate, and there are actually a few corpses of villagers, it seems that the battle here is more fierce, so there are casualties on the side of the villagers who are overwhelmed.

As soon as they passed through the Hanging Flower Gate, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zheng Yanfu were startled, and the three villagers were pressing a girl dressed as a maid to the ground and reaching out to tear her clothes. The maid's face was full of tears and she kept struggling, but she was a weak woman, how could she be the opponent of three men? After two efforts, the clothes on the upper body were stripped naked, revealing a snow-white chest.

She grabbed her pants with the last of her strength and cried weakly, "Don't do this to me...... I'm also poor...... Why do you want to insult me even ......?"

"Hey, hey, hey! Lao Tzu has long wanted to taste the taste of women......"

"Tsk, the maid of a rich family is white, much better than the black lady in my family......"

"Bastard!" Zheng Yanfu was furious, he didn't want to think about it, he raised his leg is three feet, he kicked out angrily, the kick was very strong, the three villagers screamed, flew out backwards one after another, fell into the flower garden, snorted several times and couldn't get up. Zheng Yanfu's eyes widened, and he scolded: "Are the three of you here to kill officials and rebel, or are you fucking here to take advantage of the fire to rob?" Lao Tzu actually has a brother like you, who blinded my eyes. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was standing beside him, smiled bitterly after the initial surprise, this situation was by no means unfamiliar to him. In the last century, when the peasants revolted at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, he led his soldiers to attack the city and plunder the land, this kind of scene was really visible everywhere, and to solve this kind of thing, it was a headache for the generals of all dynasties. If you solve it well, you will naturally have good military discipline, but if you solve it badly, you will lose the loyalty of the army to you.

After Zheng Yanfu kicked someone, he was still angry, and he picked up the pig-killing knife again, making a picture of wanting to go up and kill someone.

Zhu Yuanzhang stretched out his hand to stop him, and said in a low voice: "Now is not the time to solve this kind of thing, it is important to kill Zhang Douyao first, and then do it when you purge the team." As he spoke, he said in a deep voice to the maid on the ground, "Why don't you hurry up and find a place to hide?" ”

"Thank you, two masters!" The little maid's face was full of tears, and her clothes were torn, so she had to fold her hands on her chest and rush into the garden. Zhu Yuanzhang knew in his heart that the flower courtyard was about to be copied from the bottom, and the little girl had nowhere to hide, and she couldn't escape from this chaos. I can only hope that the next time she meets the villager is more upright and will not bully him. Even if the situation is so chaotic, there will always be good people!

The two continued to run forward, Zheng Yanfu was still indignant, and his heart was extremely unhappy, but Zhu Yuanzhang didn't comfort him for half a word, and only whispered to him: "Those three people...... You can deal with it secretly, not in front of other villagers...... Killing one's own people at the beginning of an uprising is easy to turn the crowd apart. ”

"Don't you need to make an example and correct discipline?" Zheng Yanfu said strangely.

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and said seriously: "When you only have a hundred brothers under your command, the result of killing one hundred is that the other ninety-nine will no longer listen to you, and feel that your elbow is turned outward." They will run away from you and no longer see you as a leader. But when you have 10,000 brothers under your command, and you kill 100 of them, the others will not run away, but will fear you even more...... Do you understand? ”

"This ...... I don't understand! Zheng Yanfu picked his head and sighed: "I don't understand most of what you said...... I'm so stupid compared to you......"
