Chapter 13: The Haw Par Army

A young man who was less than ten meters away from Wei Zheng was only less than twenty years old in terms of age.

Maybe it's because he hasn't eaten enough in the month since he was imprisoned by the Tartars, and his already thin body is even weaker at this moment.

However, it is such a young man whose eyes are full of endless hatred that no one knows.

At this moment, he was arguing with a middle-aged man in his thirties in front of him with an unconvinced face.

Maybe it was the middle-aged man's words that angered him, but the young man who was still holding back his anger just now and suppressed all kinds of hatred in his heart as much as possible, as if a volcano had erupted, yelled at the middle-aged man.

"Bear with....how long do you let me endure..."

"The whole family was killed by the Tartars, and now I finally have an opportunity to kill the Tartars, and you want me to give up....No, I will never leave, I will follow them to kill the Tartars and avenge my family..."

"But they are bandits, once they become bandits, there will never be a chance to turn back, even if you kill the Tartars, you will be hunted down by the government..."The middle-aged man seemed to forget the spearman standing beside him, and said with an anxious face.

The young man who only had hatred and revenge left in his heart directly ignored it, and still said indifferently: "What's wrong with the bandits....as long as they kill the Tartars, it doesn't matter if they go to be bandits....If I leave today, maybe I won't have the opportunity to kill the Tartars and avenge my relatives in my life, so I will definitely not leave..."

"Also, there are Tatar cavalry all around now, where can we go when we're gone? In the end, it's not that I want to be caught by the Tartars and taken to Manchuria as a slave, and I will be used as cattle and horses for the Tartars for the rest of my life, and I will live a humiliated life..."

"If that's the case, I'd rather stay here and be a bandit, at least be a bandit and kill the Tartars and take revenge......"

After speaking, without waiting for the middle-aged man in front of him to react, he strode directly to a place less than five meters away from Wei Zheng.

knelt in front of Wei Zheng with a sincere face, and said loudly: "Big boss, I am the people of Mushroom Valley. When the Tartars came, they not only killed my whole family, but also my daughter-in-law...... I will avenge this deep hatred no matter what, so I beg the great boss to accept me, let me kill the Tartars with you, and avenge the dead relatives..."

For the young man in front of him who had his own ideas, Wei Zheng expressed satisfaction from the bottom of his heart.

He asked in a calm tone as calmly as possible: "Little brother, I just said that in our cottage, there are stricter military regulations than the army, otherwise, our brothers would not easily kill a dozen Tartars." I don't know if you can endure these rules, train with everyone every day, and practice the ability to kill tartars..."

The young man who decided to join the cottage answered without thinking about it.

"Big boss, we are all farmers who farm, there is nothing hard work that can't be endured, you just accept me...."

"Okay...."Facing the first young man who asked to join the cottage, the excited Wei Zheng shouted directly.

"In that case, then I will accept you on behalf of the cottage...."

With the first, there will be the second ....

In the blink of an eye, a full 32 of the fifty people standing in front of them stood at the designated position of Wei Zheng and were willing to participate in the cottage.

Seeing this, Wang Feng couldn't help but show a convincing expression on his face, and said excitedly to Wei Zheng.

"Big boss, you are so godly, a few words, you can make these people willing to join our cottage...."

Wei Zheng smiled disappreciatively and replied, "Brother Wang, you remember everything I just said." In the order I just said, go to the rest of the people and encourage them to join our cottage..."

Wang Feng excitedly promised: "Please rest assured, I promise to complete the task and recruit more brothers for our cottage..."

One day ** non-stop, all kinds of food and materials seized by the cottage in Mushroom Valley were transported back to the cottage. At the same time, 184 young adults who were willing to join the cottage also entered the cottage with the grain brigade and became a member of the cottage.

Because of the expansion of the strength of the cottage, Wei Zheng's original room has been changed to a righteous hall specially used for deliberations in the cottage.

A tiger skin accidentally seized in Mushroom Valley, in Wei Zheng's opinion, was very badly spread in the main seat of the Juyi Hall and became the so-called tiger chair, that is, his own seat.

Directly below the main seat, two rows of very simple wooden stools are neatly arranged as subordinate seats.

At a glance, except for the simplicity of the small Juyi Hall, there is basically no much difference from the bandit den in his impression.

At this moment, Wei Zheng was sitting on the tiger skin seat, thinking solemnly about a big plan that had just been hatched in his heart: to adapt the cottage and get rid of the identity of a bandit......

Although Wei Zheng did not resent his status as a bandit, after learning for the first time a few days ago that ordinary people thought of bandits. Wei Zheng immediately had an idea in his heart, if he didn't get rid of the bandit identity and win an identity that could be accepted by the people, then he would never be able to develop and grow, and he could only be a small bandit for the rest of his life.

Because, not too many people will take the initiative to join the bandits who despise them.

As soon as Wang Feng and Zhao Yun sat in their seats, Wei Zheng took the first step to ask.

"Brother Zhao, Brother Wang... You say, what is the impression of our bandit industry among the people..."

"It's definitely not good..."Wang Feng hurriedly replied...

"In the eyes of ordinary people, we bandits are synonymous with all kinds of evil... When it comes to bandits, all the common people will talk about the tiger's color change, and avoid it far away, for fear of being harmed by our bandits. ”

Zhao Yun followed up and said: "Lao Zhao is right, in our Ming Dynasty, bandits are definitely a profession that everyone shouts at and beats, and is not treated well by the people. Unless there is really no way to continue living, the people will go into the mountains to become bandits..."

Wei Zheng nodded, and asked with a pointed face: "In that case, I don't know if the two eldest brothers have ever thought about breaking away from the bandit industry and removing the bandit coat on their bodies..."

"Of course I want to...", the two of them replied in unison eagerly, as if they had discussed it.

At the same time, an expression of unprecedented excitement appeared on the faces of the two.

Obviously, the two of them have long been tired of banditry, but they have never found a suitable opportunity.

However, this expression of excitement had only lasted on the faces of the two of them for ten seconds before it slowly became darker.

The eldest Zhao Yun first sighed, and then said: "Big boss, although your idea is good, but there is no way to realize it..."

"In our Ming Dynasty, from the day we became bandits, our household registration was cancelled by the government, and we became bandits that can be pursued by the government everywhere. If we don't continue to be bandits, we won't be able to get out of the mountain in front of us without a household registration. ”

"Yes....For us bandits, the officers and soldiers outside the mountain like it very much. They don't dare to fight with the Tartars with real swords and guns, but they like to encircle and suppress us bandits who don't have much combat effectiveness, and use our heads to pretend to be military merits. Therefore, if we want to be recognized by the government and regain the household registration of the people of the Ming Dynasty, at least it is impossible for the government to pass through guò..."Wang Feng, who had a gloomy face, then agreed.

Wei Zheng shook his head and asked, "Who sued you that I plan to surrender to the government?" Besides, with the current situation of our Ming Dynasty, even if we become ordinary people again, I am sure: it won't be long before we will be forced by the government to go on the road of banditry..."

Wang Feng and Zhao Yun both nodded in agreement, because a large part of the reason why they became bandits was because the government did not act, so they had to do it in order not to starve to death.

At this moment, Wei Zheng spoke again: "The idea in my heart is: take advantage of the favorable opportunity of the Tartar soldiers to commit Zunhua, give us a better name, and get rid of the status of bandits..."

"For example, the rebel army that specializes in fighting Tartars or something. As long as we can put up the banner of this rebel army and fight the Tartars twice, our prestige will spread quickly in Zunhua. When the time comes, the people will give us a thumbs up when they mention us, instead of being full of contempt for us, as they have done before...."

"In addition, with the identity of the rebels, we can use the reason of fighting the Tartars to recruit troops among the people, constantly expand our strength, and spread our prestige. At that time, even if the Tartars retreat, the government will not dare to come over casually to encircle and suppress the powerful us. ”

Although the two of them can't see the huge benefits that the cottage may bring to themselves after changing its name. However, one thing they know is that as long as they become a rebel, they can completely get rid of the bandit identity that everyone despises.

As soon as Wei Zheng finished speaking, Wang Feng asked excitedly: "The big boss, the righteous army is good, I support our cottage to erect the banner of the righteous army to fight the Tartars, recruit troops and horses, and fight against the Tartars..."

Zhao Yun, who was excited, also impatiently supported: "I also support our cottage to be changed into a rebel army and get rid of the identity of bandits...."

Wei Zheng couldn't help but show a satisfied smile on his face, and said loudly to the two: "Since this is the case, we have decided so." From now on, the brothers in our cottage will be called the 'Tiger and Leopard Army', and the flag of the righteous army will be written with the eight characters of 'Expelling the Tartars and Doing the Way for Heaven'. ”

"From now on, as long as there is a place where our Haw Par Army is, whether it is a Tartar or an officer or soldier who aids in the abuse, it will be the enemy of our Haw Par Army..."
