Chapter 5 Eight generations of poor peasants in your family
"I, I, can we do it another way?"
The little princess shuddered and stammered.
At this moment, she was holding Yang Feng tightly, like a cat forced to the river, because she was hanging under the eaves like a wind chime, and a thin rope was placed on the eaves above her head, carrying the two of them with its frightening slenderness, and below them was more than ten meters high ground......
A night breeze blew, and they swayed like wind chimes.
"Don't move, I'm not responsible if you fall."
Yang Feng, who had a figure-eight ring hanging on his waist and a rope in his hand, said sincerely.
The little princess wanted to cry without tears.
"Actually, you can give up, I really don't want to take you."
Yang Feng said.
The little princess shook her head without hesitation.
"Stretch your head out, open your mouth!"
Yang Feng said.
She opened her mouth blankly.
A long prepared cloth ball in Yang Feng's hand was instantly stuffed into her mouth.
Her eyes widened in protest.
"Don't spit it out!"
Yang Feng shouted.
She humiliated herself to accept the foreign object in her mouth.
The next moment, Yang Feng's hand loosened, and the double-strand rope that he was originally holding quickly slid after the friction of the figure-eight ring, and he began to fall rapidly while hanging in mid-air.
The little princess screamed in fright, but because of the cloth in her mouth, she could only make a dull sound, she only understood the role of this thing at this time, she screamed and instinctively buried her head, physically isolated from the terrible world, feeling gravity and the wind in her ears, but soon with Yang Feng's body, all this was over, and she was already downstairs when she opened her eyes again......
"Which way?"
Yang Feng pulled out the cloth ball from her mouth and asked in a low voice.
The little princess immediately pointed to the right, and Yang Feng put on a night vision device and drilled into the pitch-black rockery and flowers in front of her.
They didn't notice that a pair of eyes were looking at them with interest from a small building behind them.
The two of them moved forward quickly in the dark, and were soon blocked by the high wall, but this obstacle was not worth mentioning to Yang Feng, and continued after climbing over, and continued to move forward in the corridors, high walls, and courtyards, and finally reached the city wall. There were soldiers walking around on the city wall, but they didn't dare to move, so they waited cautiously in the dark, and waited until these soldiers walked away, and then Yang Feng threw a rope and hooked the female wall, and then used the night vision device to observe the neighborhood again, and after making sure that there was no one, he quickly climbed up.
This kind of wall is not straight up, in fact, there is a certain slope, and it is all green bricks are easy to step on, grabbing the climbing rope, he quickly climbed the wall, and then turned out as fast as he could......
This kind of wall does not need to be assisted, a rope is enough.
After landing, he retracted the rope.
Then he turned around and was dumbfounded.
Outside, the river is tens of meters wide, and the sparkling waves reflect the lights of the city walls, while on the other side of the river are dense buildings, in which patrol lights are moving, and some buildings are lit up.
These buildings stretch for hundreds of meters and end in a rampart.
"How deep?"
He asked, leaning his back against the wall.
"Sanzhang."
The little princess replied.
"I still feel like I should abandon you."
Yang Feng said.
"If you dare to abandon me, I will shout, the opposite side is full of pro-military guards and craftsmen, as long as I shout, you will be unable to escape, there is a bridge to the south, but the bridge head is Donghua Gate, there are pro-military guards on duty on the door, and there are firearms."
The little princess said.
"How many pro-military guards are there on the other side?"
Yang Feng asked.
"Twelve guards are on duty, one guard with five thousand soldiers, as for how many people are on duty, it's hard to say, the left and right are these twelve guards on one side, taking turns on duty."
The little princess said.
So it is 60,000 people in four shifts, even the three shifts are thousands of people, and this is not the Ming official army that will collapse at the touch of a button, this is the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu, all the generals and soldiers are all experienced in a hundred battles, especially this is still a pro-army guard, the emperor's pro-soldiers, the most elite troops. He needed to carry a burden on his back, cross a river dozens of meters wide and three feet deep, and then pass through a defense area garrisoned by at least a few thousand elites, and then there was a wall in front of him.
And there are obviously a lot of patrols on the city walls, and you can see a lot of lights moving constantly here.
"If you know how to water, you can carry me on the waterway, let's swim south, cross the Donghua Gate to the Taimiao area, where it is secluded and uninhabited, and then go all the way to the south wall of the imperial city, just turn out."
She continued.
"You are a princess, don't you want to play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting on weekdays, so you study how to escape from the palace?"
Yang Feng looked at her speechlessly.
"There is no one in the palace to play with me, my brother used to come to me, and now he has also gone to the fiefdom, leaving me alone, like a prison in the palace, you just take me out, I can take you to my brother, he was named the king of Liao, he was vassal Guangning, I don't know where he is, the left and right are far away, it is said that he is thousands of miles away, and he will give you whatever you want after you get there."
The little princess seduces him.
Yang Feng simply put her down, then took it out and put it aside casually.
"You can't leave me!"
The little princess was in a hurry.
Yang Feng ignored her, rearranged the backpack there to complete the sealing of the items inside, and then blew the airbags on both sides, and then walked behind her with the backpack, grabbed her belt and picked it up, just went directly into the water, threw the backpack on the water as a pontoon, and threw Her Royal Highness the noble princess up, she instinctively lay on the pontoon, but her body still had to enter the water......
"I'm the princess!"
The little princess who couldn't bear his roughness was full of grief and indignation.
"Oh!"
Yang Feng agreed.
Then he ignored her, made a pouch out of his raincoat, and then dragged his rucksack to the deep water.
Her Royal Highness the princess was so frightened that she hugged her backpack, and as he dragged forward, on a dark river, the two of them quietly went south, in order to ensure secrecy, Yang Feng chose to be close to the shore as much as possible, after all, there were still some reeds and aquatic plants to cover.
Soon they arrived at the Donghua Gate, there were indeed a lot of figures on the city wall, but no one paid attention to the below, and the lights on the city wall were difficult to shine on them, the two of them had no danger to get under the bridge, so they passed the Donghua Gate Bridge and then continued to move forward, and entered the horizontal river section after passing the corner tower. However, there was a narrower estuary on the opposite side, and the little princess pointed there, and Yang Feng immediately swam over, and there was nothing to worry about after entering this river, because there were dense trees on both sides, and behind the trees on the right were towering buildings......
"Taimiao."
The little princess said with a visibly suppressed excitement.
"Your old Zhu family ancestors are eight generations of poor peasants."
Yang Feng said.
Of course, this is just a description.
The ancestors of the Zhu family should be the yeoman farmers in the south of the Yangtze River, and later they were classified as gold diggers by the Yuan Dynasty, in fact, in order to annex their land, the officials and gentry colluded to classify the yeoman farmers into gold panning households in non-gold mining areas, and this was to pay gold to the government, and in the end they could only buy gold and hand it over, which was definitely not possible, they could only abandon the land and flee, and then the land naturally fell into the hands of the local tyrants.
It is no wonder that Zhu Yuanzhang dealt a dead hand to the powerful landlords in Jiangnan.
When the Zhu family fled to Fengyang, they could only become tenants, farming everywhere to survive.
really lingering, from the birthplace of Zhu Yuanzhang's brothers, his eldest brother and second brother, his birthplaces are different, one in Xuyi, one in Wuhe, and one in Zhongli, that is to say, their family has been constantly changing employers in those years, just like homeless people, they have been brought to landlords as tenants in that place. This is also the lowest among the tenants, in ancient times they were all clans, tenants of the same clan planted good land, foreign castees planted poor land, this kind of wandering tenants planted the worst land.
No wonder they all starved to death.
"What about the eight generations of poor peasants, isn't my father the supreme in the world now?"
The little princess said proudly.
Yang Feng was speechless.
Indeed, what about the eight generations of poor peasants, who are now emperors.
But then he glanced at the little princess's arm, and then poked it maliciously.
The latter still maintained royal pride, glanced down, through the glimmer of Yang Feng's watch, he could see that a small animal was squirming there, and then her pupils dilated, and she was about to scream when she opened her mouth, Yang Feng covered her as fast as he could, and then in her crazy writhing, he took a leech off her arm......
"That's you!"
Yang Feng said with a smile in front of her with a leech.
The little princess who was scared and cried was not interested in anything else, just like all people who had the same thing to do, she looked for herself in horror, and even lifted her neckline to look in......
But I couldn't see anything.
Yang Feng happily continued to swim in front, and the little princess continued to check her body in horror in the back, and the two of them reached the end of the river, where an equally towering city wall stretched ahead, and the river passed through the water gate below, but the water gate was an iron fence inside......
"I always felt like we came out a little too well."
Yang Feng, who climbed the city wall in the same way as before, stood in the night breeze and looked at the ancient city in front of him and said.
It is indeed a little smooth abnormal, it is said that there are gunshots and explosions in the palace before, even if the gunshots do not have much impact, pistols only, but the explosion of grenades is different, it is said that there is this explosion not to mention the inside of the imperial city, that is, I am afraid that the outside of the city has been alarmed, if tens of thousands of soldiers are on duty, the walls of the imperial city have long been heavily guarded at this time, but they have no obstacles along the way.
There were patrols, but they were limited to normal patrols, and there were indeed a large number of soldiers at the city gates, but these soldiers were clearly not in a state of imminent battle.
This is not normal.
This is not the pro-military guards that have been abolished at the end of the Ming Dynasty.
"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up, I can finally get out of the palace!"
The little princess said excitedly behind him.
"Out of the palace, out of the palace, I'll find a place to sell you."
Yang Feng said angrily.
After saying that, he remembered something......
"Do you have any money with you?"
He asked.
"Money? Why bring money? Do you mean treasure money? I don't have that thing, do you think I need to buy it myself? ”
The little princess said blankly.
"Well, I'm really going to have to find a place to sell you."
