Zhou Xiaocao asked, "Scoop handle?" What are the benefits? ”

The leader who looked like a scholar said that you have received one hundred thousand taels of silver, what other benefits do you want? Is it a beauty? But all of a sudden, where will I find a beautiful woman for you!

Helpless, the leader of the scholars had no choice but to say: "The scoop handle is the chief manager of the green forest road in this area, but all the heroes in the green forest in this area must obey the dispatch of the general." ”

Zhou Xiaocao said with a smile: "Really? I don't think you want me to cover you up and make sure you don't get wiped out by the government! Could it be that General Ben led people to level the mountain this time and scared you? ”

was suddenly hit by Zhou Xiaocao's heart, and the three leaders were a little overwhelmed for a while. At this moment, the four generals behind Zhou Xiaocao chased after him. As soon as he saw the three people standing in the middle of the road, General Wang Rui, who was the most murderous of the four, immediately raised his whip and pointed at the three people and said, "Who are you, you dare to block the path of the imperial court's forbidden army!" ”

Zhou Xiaocao said: "General Wang, don't panic, they are all the kings of the mountains here, don't worry about it." ”

Wang Rui's eyes immediately lit up: "Bandit? All the sergeants obey the orders and be on guard! Get ready to meet the enemy! ”

After the battle of Bishan, the merit of this general Wang is second only to Zhou Xiaocao, and after he returns, Zhou Xiaocao has promised to give him a promotion. This time he met three bandit leaders again, and his careful thoughts immediately came alive, if he exterminated another mountain, would this credit be greater? As for the fact that he has already made great contributions to the mountain, who thinks that his official position is too high? Except for the Prime Minister, no one will think that his official position is high. The prime minister, above that is the emperor. He didn't dare to be promoted again.

"Huh!"

There was a sound of brushing ahead, after the soldiers of the Forbidden Army heard the commander's order. All of them immediately went into action. The archers were automatically divided into two wings, lined up. The arrow was wound, the bow was full, and the cold arrow pointed straight at the three of them; Behind the archers is a hand-held crossbow, which is so lethal that ordinary shields can't stop them. Behind them were the broadswordsmen and pikemen, and the cavalrymen behind them all pointed their spears upwards diagonally, their legs tense. You can rush out of the archer at any time under the cover of the crossbowman.

"Poof!"

Where have the three bandits who occupy the mountains have seen such a battle? I was scared when I landed. The scholar leader in the middle was so frightened that his lips turned white and the muscles on his face trembled. And the two guys next to him were even more unbearable, and sat directly on the ground.

Zhou Xiaocao saw the unbearable appearance of the three of them, and he was very contemptuous, but he said: "These three are here to give us gifts, don't frighten the children, put away your weapons." ”

The scholar leader quickly took over the conversation and said, "Yes, yes! The general said very well, we admired the skills of your military masters, and we came to greet you. And there are gifts to give. ”

Zhou Xiaocao said with a smile: "These three guys are quite upright, knowing that we are going to pass from here, I am afraid that we will go up the mountain to destroy them, so they walked out directly." If you don't succeed, you will become benevolent. If nothing else, that's it. It's like those who meet things and let their brothers go first, and they hide behind. If something goes wrong, the kind of leader who flees immediately is much stronger. Know the way. If they don't agree, the three of them will be killed. ”

Wang Rui nodded and said, "What the general said is that they are also a man. ”

Zhou Xiaocao said: "That's it, let's make three chapters of the law, if you can abide by it, this general can promise to let you go." ”

The leader of the scholars hurriedly said: "General, please speak!" It is said that there are three chapters, that is, thirty chapters, and our brothers do not follow it. ”

Zhou Xiaocao is still strange, why would these vicious bandits find a guy who looks like a scholar to be the big boss? That's weird. In fact, Zhou Xiaocao doesn't know what to do, these bandits also have to deal with the government or some upper class, they are illiterate and full of foul language, so naturally they can't succeed. As a result, many cottages will invite a down-and-out scholar to be their spokesperson, specializing in diplomatic affairs. Therefore, even these bandits understand the importance of reading people, but unfortunately Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't understand. Throughout the Ming Dynasty, the country took pleasure in humiliating scholars. Of course, this has the negative impact of the Yuan Dynasty's 80-year rule, but it is also inseparable from Zhu Yuanzhang's personal preferences. Zhu Yuanzhang employs people, he would rather believe in those eunuchs who have no eggs, than believe in his courtiers. So much so that at the end of the year, it was no longer even safe to become an official, and there was even a situation where the prisons were overcrowded, and the newly arrested prisoners were not interrogated because all the local officials were imprisoned. In desperation, those officials had no choice but to take out the newly arrested "parent officials" from the prison and let the prisoners interrogate the prisoners, which can be regarded as a wonderful flower in Chinese history. The interrogation of shackled prisoners by shackles is considered "unprecedented". Those newly arrested prisoners are happy, yo he, buddy, we are all a system.

Therefore, after the death of the Ming Dynasty, the Chinese people were able to quickly accept the rule of the two orphans and widows of the Manchu Shunzhi Emperor and the Empress Xiaozhuang, and the old Zhu family could be regarded as making great contributions. After the late Ming Emperor Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen hanged the coal mountain, several of his sons fled to the south of the Yangtze River, but the entire Jiangnan scholars were collectively silent, and few people were willing to spill their blood for their old masters. Yesterday's cause is reaped, today's effect, and the cycle of cause and effect is not in vain.

This scholar leader is actually only a three-leader, and the two beside him are the main and deputy owners of this cottage. He is commonly known as the dog-headed military division.

Zhou Xiaocao said: "There are no more than thirty chapters, only three chapters. First, you can't do it to the poor, what can you do? ”

The three of them nodded in unison: "Do it, do it!" We are all from poor families, how can we attack these poor people again? Isn't that just forgetting your roots? ”

Zhou Xiaocao nodded, and then said, "Very good!" Second, you can charge a certain amount of money for your past business trips, but you must not kill yourself for money. This road will not be peaceful, you can declare that you can protect them through this road smoothly, and charge a certain amount of protection money, so that your money will come right, and those merchants will not hate you to the core. ”

The three of them hurriedly replied: "This makes, this makes!" General, then, what about the third? ”

Zhou Xiaocao said two things in a row, but there was no substantial harm to them, and the three of them couldn't help but feel relieved, and even began to take the initiative to ask.

Zhou Xiaocao thought for a while and said, "As for the third one, it's very simple!" That is, you can't bully men and women, don't go down the mountain to plunder, don't despise the government, can you do it? ”

The three of them thought about it, nodded and said, "Yes!" ”

Zhou Xiaocao nodded and said, "That's good!" In the future, if someone embarrasses you, report my name, as long as it is not a shame for me, I Zhou Xiaocao will keep you safe and sound. ”

The three of them were overjoyed, and quickly knelt down and shouted, "Thank you, General!" Thanks for the scoop! ”

can justifiably get the support of the government, and their one hundred thousand taels of silver is too worth it!

Zhou Xiaocao continued: "However, what I said just now only represents myself, not the imperial court, do you know? ”

Joke! If Zhou Xiaocao discussed things with the thieves on behalf of the imperial court and promised to take care of them, Liu Mingli would not be so angry that he vomited three liters of blood.

After cleaning up this group of bandits who came out of their own, Zhou Xiaocao's convoy added another million taels of silver to the baggage, and then walked forward with pride. In order to avoid any bandits blocking the road again, Zhou Xiaocao also learned to send scouts to help him explore the road ahead.

Zhou Xiaocao pointed to the newly collected silver and said, "These silver are also to be dedicated to the emperor." Alas, I, General Zhou, am as clear as water and as clear as a mirror, and there is no corruption at all! ”

Xianglanjun said angrily: "That's not necessarily, what if I give you a beauty?" ”

Zhou Xiaocao said confidently: "Then I also have to see if the beauty is beautiful!" ”

While he was laughing, the scout in front came to report: "General, there are officers and soldiers blocking the road ahead!" ”

Wang Rui was shocked: "What? Are you sure it's an officer and soldier, not a bandit? (To be continued......)
