Chapter 232: The Past Is Like the Wind (1)
This time it was not only Li Rufeng who couldn't think of it, but also stunned the general manager and the others, this aunt-in-law was still trying her best to resist just now, why did her own man give in after he came?
"Rufeng, I thought a lot, it's not worth it for you to do this for me, I will go to Huang Qianhu's house to be a concubine, he will exempt my father from the money he owes him, and let my younger brother be Xiaoqi, my family can live."
Li Rufeng understood, and he was also dead, his parents-in-law's family had been military households for generations, either tuntian or fighting, and they could still be far-fetched to maintain their lives before, but later, the crops produced in the land were not enough for taxes, and as a last resort, the land was sold, and he still owed a lot of money, and in the end he could only borrow money from others.
The entire Acropolis, there are thousands of households with money, and the first time they borrowed money from thousands of households, thousands of households were very happy, and generously lent their parents-in-law fifty taels of silver.
Since then, he has to pay back five taels of silver every month, and his parents-in-law can't afford to change it, so they have to sell things, armor, spears and other things, but they still can't pay back the money, and they can't be forced to do anything, Huang Qianhu proposed to let his married daughter be his concubine, not only does he not have to pay back the money he owes, but also let Huang Qianhu's young son who has just become an adult serve as a small banner.
The father-in-law honestly did not agree, but the mother-in-law was a little loose, and thought about it for a night, but the father-in-law was still silent, but the mother-in-law persuaded the girl to marry Huang Qianhu, although she was a concubine, but she could bring hope to the family.
If you don't marry Huang Qianhu, Huang Qianhu has 10,000 ways to let the whole army die, such as letting his father-in-law suppress the thieves, and letting his younger brother go to fight with Jiannu outside the gate, if so, this family will be over.
The two strong women in the sedan chair also instilled this idea in her, and her mother spent another night with her last night, and finally let her figure it out, this life is like this, but she failed Li Rufeng, a tall and mighty man.
Li Rufeng laughed out loud miserably, he pulled out the big knife, pointed at the greeting team with the blade, and yelled, kill!
Holding a long knife and rushing, at this time his subordinates hurriedly rushed up, forcibly dragged him away, just out of the city, rushed out of the back hundreds of military households, they were instructed by Huang Qianhu to kill Li Rufeng and other rebels, each rewarded with a tael of silver.
Li Rufeng and the others were all cavalrymen, and they were very fast, and they soon returned to the acropolis where they were stationed, where he told his parents about his daughter-in-law being snatched away by a thousand households, and his parents were so angry that they beat their chests when they heard this.
Without waiting for the family to go to Wang Qianhu in the Acropolis to reason, suddenly another subordinate rushed in on a horse and said to him: "Brother Rufeng, go quickly, the mongrel surnamed Huang colluded with Wang Qianhu and said that you are a traitor and wants to cut off your head." ”
Li Rufeng looked at this subordinate who was younger than him, it was Wang Hong, who was newly transferred to their small banner, and admired his righteousness very much, and his parents hurriedly asked Li Rufeng to escape, so as not to be slaughtered like a dog here.
Li Rufeng pulled his parents to walk together, but his parents refused, they had old arms and legs, and stayed to buy more time for Li Rufeng, and the sound of soldiers running began to be heard in the city, which was the rhythm of a large number of infantry coming here.
When his parents didn't leave, Li Rufeng had to grit his teeth, rode on a horse and rushed out of the city with Wang Hong, and there were more than a dozen subordinates who walked with him, and they all admired Li Rufeng for taking good care of them in the battle, and they were already tired of the hard days of being a military household.
The strength of the group is not lower than that of the elite of the whole army, and they rushed out of the city in one go, Li Rufeng did not go far, but led his subordinates to hide outside the city, wanting to wait for the opportunity to sneak in and bring his parents back.
But the next day, he saw that his parents' heads were cut off and hung on the city wall, and there were still small officials under the city who kept shouting, the traitor Li Rufeng, his parents showed the public, and those who killed Li Rufeng were rewarded with fifty taels of silver.
Li Rufeng almost clenched his teeth, suffering from lack of strength, and said to his subordinates: "Are you willing to follow me to join the thieves?" ”
Wang Hong and others had no opinions, and everyone followed Li Rufeng to join the army fighting in Shaanxi, until they later entered the capital and became friends with Ling Jingyang.
In the years of breaking into the army, Li Rufeng thought a lot, why his wife, parents-in-law, and parents were so tortured by the two thousand households of the Acropolis, and he fought with the old battalion troops of the breaking army, and saw that the landlord Lao Cai, the vassal king, and the Ming army garrison generals everywhere were all rich and rival countries, but the parents-in-law were forced to sell their married daughters because they had no money, they were all soldiers who had protected the border of the Ming Dynasty for generations, so they became slaves and the playthings of Shangguan, not to mention that their parents were cut off by thousands of households.
Isn't it all the emperor? He is the real first person behind the scenes, after Li Rufeng finished speaking, Ling Jingyang's eyes were a little moist, and he asked, "You used to be that military town?" ”
"Guyuan Town."
"Those thousands of households who hurt heaven and reason, have they ever been killed?"
Li Rufeng shook his head, he later followed the Dashun army to fight back, and also broke through the Guyuan military town, but did not find the two thousand households that killed his parents and robbed his daughter-in-law.
"Like the wind, I know that you have anger in your heart, and if you say it today, you will feel comfortable, but if you think like this, what we are doing today is to make such a thing happen again, follow me to fight the world, avenge those who have suffered tragedies, and stop those poor people who are about to have a tragedy, do you have confidence?"
Li Rufeng has never had this thought, listening to Ling Jingyang's words today, as clear as if the heavenly spirit cover was opened, Ling Jingyang said again: "We support the Ming Emperor in order to increase our strength, not to really bring you back to the days when that person ate people." ”
Li Rufeng lowered his head and didn't speak, and Ling Jingyang struck while the iron was hot: "Believe me, with me, there will be a lot less pain in this world, and you are my good brother who fights side by side, at this stage we are very weak and need to be united, no matter what we are beaten by the Qing army, or the rebels, or other hostile forces, we must fight for the belief in our hearts." ”
"My lord, I.. I want revenge, I want to put ... Aunt snatched it back..."
Li Rufeng, a strong man of 1.92 meters, cried like a child, and Ling Jingyang didn't expect that this right-hand man would have such a sad past.
"Follow me, we will expand the army together, destroy the Jiannu, eliminate the rebels, cross the Yangtze River, and dominate the world."
This is the first time that Ling Jingyang confided in others, Li Rufeng was surprised that Ling Jingyang had great ambitions, in the past, this was a great rebellion, but now that the troubled times are coming, this is not a great rebellion, but a mind to the world.
He frowned, and Ling Jingyang knelt down.
"My lord, the last general is willing to follow the left and right, kill all the young people, and restore peace in the world."
