Zhu Yuanzhang's subordinates accelerated the speed of transporting grain, and two days later, the Ma family's grain had been transported to the last batch, and Zhu Yuanzhang also planned to retreat with this batch of grain, and at the same time, there were also Miss Zhang Yingxian and Qiu Ye, as for the other maids, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to let go, but they were unwilling to go, saying that they had to follow Zhang Yingxian anyway, so they had no choice but to take them all.

A hundred henchmen and soldiers drove out of the Ma family's compound with a grain convoy, and Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhang Yingxian, Qiu Ye and others also followed the team.

Zhang Yingxian can't go fast!

She is a typical lady, she has accepted foot binding since she was a child, a pair of small feet can be regarded as an authentic three-inch golden lotus, walking step by step, how can she walk fast? And she was also snatched by Zhu Yuanzhang, she was in a bad mood, crying while walking. Her personal maid and Akiba supported her one on the left and one on the right, but unfortunately they still couldn't go fast, and the three women stumbled a few steps, completely unable to keep up with the speed of the ox cart transporting grain.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, although he was an ancient, he was not like a woman who bound his feet like ordinary ancients. Because the only woman he loved in his last life, Queen Ma, was Bigfoot, known as Queen Bigfoot. Loving the house and Wu, Zhu Yuanzhang likes women who don't bind their feet because of this, a woman with small feet like Zhang Yingxian, he feels bored when he sees it.

Fortunately, there was an ox cart full of grain bags and a little vacancy on it, Zhu Yuanzhang let Zhang Yingxian get on the ox cart and sit in the grain pile, which finally solved her walking problem.

This woman is a huge burden to Zhu Yuanzhang, but Zhu Yuanzhang has to grab this burden by his side, in order to keep Miss Ma San from being implicated, he can't be said to be hard-working.

"Set fire!" Zhu Yuanzhang finally gave an order.

The soldiers got the order and lit a few piles of firewood and grass prepared in advance, and the Ma family compound was immediately bathed in Xiongxiong's fire......

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at this burning mansion, and he still felt a little touched in his heart, after all, this mansion was his first foothold in this new era, his starting point, and he started a new life from here...... Now watching it turn to ashes, it is impossible not to have a trace of sentimentality in my heart.

But this sentimentality was only for a moment, and when he turned his head, his eyes had become sharp and determined.

Zhang Yingxian in the carriage was crying profusely, her hometown had been sold to someone else. Although the newly settled Ma family has a nasty husband, her father-in-law and uncle are still good to her, and her life here is comfortable, and now this family has turned into ashes...... And she was still very worried, worried that Zhu Ba would suddenly break into her room one night and forcibly press her down on the bed...... Because Zhu Ba said that she would be robbed to be the lady of the village, this day will come sooner or later, and she will be powerless to resist at that time......

Her life is really miserable, the future is uncertain, what can she do but cry?

However, she didn't know that she was lucky to be able to follow Zhu Yuanzhang, if she hadn't encountered this series of tragedies, but was still an ordinary squire lady, she would inevitably be involved in the violent peasant uprising in the future, and if it fell into the hands of people like Luo Rucai, the end would be even more miserable.

Luo Rucai's favorite is to rob the squire, the landlord's young lady, and take them into his own concubines, after he became powerful in the later stage of the uprising, there were no less than 100 beauties around him, it is said that Luo Rucai was very poor before, and he couldn't marry a daughter-in-law, so his favorite after the uprising was to rob rich beauties...... What robbing the rich and helping the poor, doing the right thing for heaven is, and he rebelled just to rob more and more beauties...... Okay, it's a big deal, but let's get back to the point.

The grain convoy marched towards the north, and after walking for a while, the imposing Huanglong Mountain Range appeared in the north...... Huanglong Mountain is a stony mountain, not a dirt mountain. The terrain of the dirt mountains tends to be relatively flat, and there are no strange ups and downs, but the stone mountains are very complex, often with thousands of ravines and changeable mountains and rivers.

The overall altitude of Huanglong Mountain is about 1500 meters, and the main peak Daling is 1783 meters above sea level, which is not a high mountain, but the terrain inherits the tradition of all stone mountains, which is complicated! It's very complicated! The ten mountain beams represented by Daling, Guanshan, Jietouliang and Lankeshan cut the Huanglong Mountains into nine ditches of seven rivers and five plateaus, and when you walk into the mountains, you will lose your way and get lost in the layers of ravines.

Zhu Yuanzhang's grain is temporarily stored in a small ravine on the edge of the Huanglong Mountain Range, where it is transferred and then transferred in, once it enters the mountain, there is no road, cattle, horses, and mules are useless, and most places have to rely on manpower to transport. Zhu Yuanzhang knew that with more than 200 henchmen under his command, it was impossible to continue to carry grain.

"Ma Xiaotian, you go to the mountains to find Zheng Yanfu and Wang Er, they should have settled the villagers, let them tell the villagers, Zhu Bugling found a large amount of grain and asked them to go down the mountain to carry it. Note...... Don't tell them that the grain was brought from the Ma family...... Just say I got it somewhere else. ”

Ma Xiaotian was a little puzzled, and said strangely: "Why can't you tell them that the grain belongs to the Ma family?" Oh, the question should be said like this, why not let them bring this grain with them before they go into the mountains...... But to ask them to come out and move again after entering the mountain, how troublesome! ”

"Hey, you don't understand people's ......hearts," Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "If you let them come to Ma's house to move grain before entering the mountain, they will think that since it is from the Ma family, it should be regarded as the stolen grain, and they will regard this grain as if they participated in the uprising and robbed it, and they will ask us to divide the grain immediately, if we don't divide it, we will lose people's hearts." However, when I told them that I had worked so hard to find the food, they were embarrassed to move around and had to wait for me to distribute it, so that I could control the situation. ”

Ma Xiaotian opened his mouth and sighed: "There are still such considerations? Oh, my God! It's complicated! Brother Zhu, if you change me to sit in your place, I'm afraid that people's hearts will have already been scattered, and I won't pay attention to these places at all, and it will cause a big disaster if you are so-so. ”

"Don't flick, let's go!" Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, and Ma Xiaotian took the two brothers and went towards the mountain. The way into the mountain is not difficult to find, because Wang Er and Zheng Yanfu have made marks along the way, and more than 1,000 people have entered the mountain, and the footprints will not dissipate in a short time.

Zhu Yuanzhang took the remaining more than 200 brothers to guard the grain bags full of ravines!

In some novels, the timeline is particularly fast, such as sending a brother into the mountains to find reinforcements, and it takes half a day to find them...... That's all, unless the mountain is a poor little hill...... As long as the mountain has a little momentum, it is not a short time to walk back and forth. Because the mountains in ancient times were not as good as the mountains now, there were cableways, suspension bridges, cement stone steps for you to walk, and most of the mountains at that time were barren mountains, and you had to open your own way and cross the ditch by yourself, and it would be as difficult as you wanted.

Zhu Yuanzhang knew that Ma Xiaotian and the others would not be able to come back in a short time, at least a few days before they came, so he was not in a hurry, so he let his subordinates rest in the ravine. And the sacks of grain were piled up haphazardly in the ditch, and they did not cover them...... Anyway, I'm not afraid of rain and wet food! In this great drought at the end of the Ming Dynasty, it would be strange if it could rain.

Zhang Yingxian is bitter this time, she can't wash her face and bathe in this small ravine, and she can't wash her clothes, and the little water source in the ditch is only enough for everyone to eat, and her pampered young lady soon became a dirty black girl.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

Five days later, Zhang Xiaotian and his group finally returned, bringing nearly 1,000 people.

After these people followed Wang Er into the mountain, they joined Zheng Yanfu and temporarily lived in the cave, they were very happy to see that there was a lot of grain piled up in the cave, and Zhu Bugle really didn't lie to them. When he was happy, Ma Xiaotian came and brought news that Zhu Bugling had gotten a lot of food and asked them to move it.

For these hungry people, it may have been a chore to carry other things, but it was a pleasant thing to carry food, so the people ran out of the mountains in high spirits. Seeing that the ravine was full of grain, the people immediately thundered with joy and hurried up to carry it.

While everyone was distributing grain bags to carry them, a sudden billowing of sand and dust suddenly rose in the distance in the south, followed by a lot of chaotic roars, as if something was coming.

Zhu Yuanzhang climbed a mountain rock and looked south, it turned out to be a kind of light road, he had a lot of blood stains on his body, with a group of subordinates, he was running towards the north desperately, a mile or two behind him, there was a large number of people desperately chasing.

Zhu Yuanzhang only saw in an instant that Chongguang Dao was running away, and behind him was the village warrior team organized by the squire.

It turned out that everything was as Zhu Yuanzhang expected, Chongguangdao led nearly a thousand mobs to burn and loot everywhere in Baishui, and the local squires quickly organized a township warrior team in order to protect themselves. The family guards of several squires and the village warriors were combined, and there were four or five hundred people, who could faintly compete with the mob of the light path. Two days ago, under the county seat of Baishui*, the Township Warriors fought a fierce battle with the Seed Light Dao Army, with the Township Warrior Army of 500 against the Seed Light Dao Army of more than 900 people...... The result is...... Defeat of the Light Path!

The commander ordered the rebel army to be a mess, and it was not the opponent of the Xiangyong team at all, and it was beaten into a plate of scattered sand, and the rebel army of more than 900 people fell apart, fleeing towards the four fields, and the light path was desperately greeted, but unfortunately it couldn't be called, and finally fled with him to the north, less than 100 people......

Coincidentally, Chongguang Road fled northward, and it happened to flee to the grain transit place chosen by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang felt bored for a while, at this critical time, what kind of trouble did the light path come to make trouble?
