The sky is getting brighter little by little, once the sky is completely bright, the team will set off, and then Zhu Yuanzhang will have to go with the team, he will lose the opportunity to sneak out of the team and secretly carry Zheng Yanfu to the government.

There is not much time that can be given to him, and with each breath, the less time he can use to think. He needed a reason to convince himself, and that reason had to make him willing to give up what he had in front of him.

He began to think about the reward he was most likely to receive if he sent Zheng Yanfu to the government.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the Red Turban Army revolted, and heroes such as Zhu Yuanzhang, Chen Youliang, and Zhang Shicheng rose together. But the interesting thing is that in the early stage of the Red Turban Army uprising, the main enemy encountered was not the political axe of the Yuan Dynasty, but the local landlords and generals who spontaneously organized. Even in the thousand-mile battle of the Red Turban Army, few of the enemies encountered were the Yuan Dynasty political axe army, and most of the landlord class from all over the country organized their own township protection teams, family teams, and courtyard protection armies.

The court of the Yuan Dynasty recognized these spontaneously organized armies and gave them corresponding official positions and titles, such as Li Siqi, Zhang Sidao, Zhang Liangchen and others, who were originally ordinary people, and were promoted to officials because of their meritorious service in suppressing bandits.

If Zhu Yuanzhang betrays Zheng Yanfu and sends him to the government, judging from his own merits and current identity. The highest possible reward is to be promoted to a petty official in a county town, such as a county magistrate, a master book, a canon, and so on. Of course, this is only the most ideal possible surname, and it is also possible to be rewarded with only a few ingots of silver.

Considering the most ideal situation, if you are promoted to a county prince, will you be able to get ahead and save the Ming Dynasty from danger? The answer is obviously no! If you want to do something in the Ming Dynasty, you must have a very high official position, and he needs to have a higher status, but officialdom is not as simple as being promoted by meritorious service, but also to boil up qualifications, make good connections, and give gifts to the boss...... After decades of suffering, it was hard to climb up step by step, becoming a county magistrate, a prefect, and a governor...... Level by level to the first grade......

Even if you get to the first assistant of the cabinet, will you be able to save the Ming Dynasty? The answer is still no!

Zhang Juzheng, is it powerful enough? He promoted a whip law to improve the treasury revenue of the Ming Dynasty, and the implementation of a whip law did have a little effect...... But was the Ming Dynasty saved? No! Zhang Juzheng touched the interests of the entire Ming Dynasty gentry class! I don't have to say the results.

A few days ago, Zhu Yuanzhang seriously thought about it, if he won against all the gentry class of the Ming Dynasty?

In the hundreds of years that he was a bystander in the sky, he saw countless maladministrations of the Ming Dynasty, such as the ban on the sea, spies, eunuchs in power, party strife, huge royal clans, low taxes on people, high taxes on farmers, financial difficulties, and official corruption...... Once you want to make a change, it is simply difficult to start.

Without an army like an arm, without the prestige of the entire Ming Dynasty, who can put all these things in order? No one can ...... Whoever dares to do it will be squeezed by conservative forces from all sides, and will die so much that he can't even put together his bones. Even the current emperor does not dare to change some things easily......

Although he didn't want to admit it, he had to admit that the country he had built single-handedly was terminally ill and difficult to take medicine.

That...... What to do?

At this time, the little novices in the monastery had already gotten up, and the two little monks walked into the courtyard, and took a big broom made of bamboo branches to clean the fallen leaves in the courtyard, and the broom drew a "whoosh" sweeping sound on the ground, and a small novice smiled at the other and said, "After dinner last night, Master and Uncle continued to play the game of chess the night before......

Another novice asked, "Oh, which of the two of them won?" ”

"Guess what?"

"Presumably Uncle Shi won...... When I saw the truce the night before yesterday, Master had fallen behind completely, and it wouldn't be long before Uncle Shi would be completely cleaned up......"

"Hehe, you guessed wrong, this time Master won!"

"Impossible!"

"It's really Master who won...... He did fall behind and was struggling. At this time, Chengcheng Zheng Yanfu came in to worship the Buddha, walked by the side, he seemed to be thinking about something, walked quickly, accidentally overturned the chessboard, and the chess pieces fell all over the ground. When Master and Uncle rearranged the chessboard, they forgot where they had just played, so they rearranged the board. ”

"Oh, start over...... As a result, Uncle Shi lost? ”

"Haha, exactly!"

The two little monks were talking and laughing, while sweeping the courtyard and walking out, leaving Zhu Yuanzhang standing quietly alone.

Hearing the conversation between the two little monks, Zhu Yuanzhang's heart suddenly moved: the two monks were playing chess, and Zheng Yanfu walked over and lifted the chessboard...... As a result, the chess game restarted, and the old monk, who had fallen behind, won the final victory.

Zhu Yuanzhang is now facing a messy country, and he has nowhere to speak, just like when he is playing chess, the full game has been settled, and he can't regret it, even if he struggles, losing the war is only a matter of time. Why don't you just flip the chessboard! Throw the country upside down! In the overturned land, reopen the situation, start a new game of chess, and then use his means to re-position a beautiful chess piece on the chessboard?

In the previous life, Zhu Yuanzhang joined the army at the age of 25, ascended the throne at the age of 40 and became the emperor, and it took only 15 years to reopen a game of chess, and the Ming Dynasty in this world still has 18 years to fall, more than enough time, why is he afraid?

It seems that we have to take the old road that we have walked once! Peasant uprising!

Since it has been decided to take this road, there is no point in currying favor with the government, and what we need to do now is to make use of the peasant uprising and take it into our hands......

Zhu Yuanzhang clenched his fists, determined in his heart.

At this moment, in this situation, he suddenly felt that the environment around him was a little familiar, and in the thirteenth year, he was standing in the small courtyard of Huangjue Temple, and the same was true around him, a few stone tables, a few stone benches...... With soup and a letter to him in hand, he considered whether or not to join the peasant rebellion......

The dawn of the day is approaching, the night is about to pass, and the new day seems to have infinite hope, but also infinite despair, and the road ahead is vast, and I don't know where to go. He made a difficult decision, and the most important decision of his life, he left Huangjue Temple, defected to the rebel army, and then ...... Achieve hegemony! There is no one in the world who can be his enemy!

Zhu Yuanzhang took a step and walked towards the place where Zheng Yanfu was hidden, this time, his steps were extremely firm, without the slightest hesitation...... For Queen Ma, for the Ming Dynasty, and most importantly, for himself, he set a new goal. Once he has a clear goal, his unsheathed sword will no longer show the slightest mercy.

Walking to the grass where Zheng Yanfu was hiding, Zhu Yuanzhang stopped, only to see Zheng Yanfu in the grass glaring at him angrily. is worthy of being a good man, being tied up in the grass for a night, not only did he not have the slightest mental malaise, but he was even more angry, and his body was full of murderous energy, and he wanted to break out of his body.

He seemed to have thought about struggling to escape, and the grass around him was flattened by him, but Zhu Yuanzhang was very cleverly tied, and he couldn't break free no matter what.

Zhu Yuanzhang squatted down, untied the strip of cloth stuffed in Zheng Yanfu's mouth, and asked coldly, "How is it?" After lying here all night, have you calmed down a bit? ”

"Cold, loyal dog of the court, send grandpa to be killed." Zheng Yanfu scolded angrily: "Grandpa frowned, he is not a hero." ”

"Alas, you are even more stupid and impulsive than I thought." Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said, "Let me ask you, have you ever thought about what to do after killing officials and rebelling?" ”

"After the murder of officials and rebellion?" Zheng Yanfu didn't know what it meant to catch this man who caught him, but he didn't seem to have the taste of sending himself to the official in his words, so he couldn't help but answer Zhu Yuanzhang's question: "Continue to kill officials and rebel!" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed: "What about after that?" Continue to kill officials and rebel? ”

"That's right!" Zheng Yanfu said seriously: "What's so funny about this? Lao Tzu wants to kill a lifetime of officials and create a lifetime of rebellion. ”

"Are you a fool when you are an official of the imperial court? Sitting there waiting for you to come and kill, people won't resist? Zhu Yuanzhang sneered and waved his hand, pointing to the direction of the Hundred Households Army Tuntian that he saw on the way when he came: "Since you are a local, you should know that there is a Hundred Households there, and there are one hundred and thirteen officers and soldiers in it." There are at least two more such 100 households in Chengcheng, with a total of 339 officers and soldiers...... If we deduct some empty salaries, there will be at least a hundred or more soldiers. ”

"So what?" Zheng Yanfu said loudly.

"Not really." Zhu Yuanzhang said lightly: "After you kill the official and rebel, if you don't want to know what to do next, but continue to run to kill the official and rebel, halfway through, you will suddenly rush to the front of a hundred officers and soldiers and hack you to death." ”

He patted Zheng Yan on the shoulder with a smile and said, "I know that you are very capable of fighting, and you can't get close to you with three or five big men, but you can't win with a hundred officers and soldiers with weapons." ”

Zheng Yanfu's face changed a little, but he still twisted his neck and said, "I have a group of brothers!" The villagers of Nanyao Village, Duanzhuang Village, Liujiazhuang Village, Liujiayuan Village, and Chengjiawa Village all listened to me, and these people added up to at least two or three hundred people, so they were not afraid of 100 officers and men. ”

"Joke!" Zhu Yuanzhang laughed: "These rabble, believe it or not, it only takes twenty officers and soldiers to scare these two or three hundred of them into scattering." ”

"This ......"

Zhu Yuanzhang said seriously: "Think about it carefully, what should I do after killing officials and rebelling?" ”

Zheng Yanfu hesitated for a while, raised his head and said, "I understand, then I will go to the grass after I kill the official and rebel." ”

"Where are you going to be a coward?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"Where? Where else do you pay attention to the grass? Just find a mountain to get into. Zheng Yanfu said.

Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Zheng Yanfu with a pair of shining eyes: "Hutou Mountain in the west of the city?" You hide in it, and in less than five days you will be captured by the officers and soldiers, and you will be destroyed along with your two or three hundred brothers. ”

Zheng Yanfu also knew that his thoughts were wrong, and said hurriedly: "How do I know where to go to the grass?" Damn, Lao Tzu has never rebelled before, how would he know what to pay attention to when rebelling. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled firmly, he pointed to his nose and said, "You haven't rebelled, but I did, do you want to try to listen to me?" ”

"Scare?" Zheng Yanfu was shocked.
