Chapter 37 Zhu Gongzi, we did it with you
This is the celebrity contacted by my uncle?
This is the young talent that Ye Saburo boasted of, his powerful nephew?
The first time they met, it was a bit unexpected, Zhu Yiyuan asked them to wait, he first carried the water, ran to Grandma Han's house, and then came back to greet the three.
"The old man has no relatives at home, and he still has to use two buckets of water in the morning and evening."
Zhu Yiyuan explained.
The younger one among the three suddenly smiled, "I heard that Brother Zhu commanded thousands of soldiers and horses, so I really don't understand why he helps the people carry water regardless of dignity and humility." ”
Zhu Yiyuan smiled slightly, "If you don't do this, what can you do?" The life and death of thousands of people must not be careless. ”
The young man frowned even more and said, "In that case, why didn't Brother Zhu hurry up and recruit troops and conquer the city, why did he stop his troops here?" ”
Hearing this, Zhu Yiyuan couldn't help laughing, it was really a scholar's words, and it was on paper.
The young man was not convinced, and asked, "Am I wrong?" ”
Zhu Yiyuan said with a smile: "Naturally, it's not wrong, it's just that it's a little inappropriate with the current situation." ”
The young man's face darkened, and this was not wrong.
At this time, the oldest spoke, "The old man Zhao Shizhe is also a little famous in Shandong, I am dedicated to resisting the Qing Dynasty, and I will definitely not defect to the enemy, please rest assured." We really don't understand it, and we hope to give us some guidance. ”
Ye Tinglan also smiled: "Big nephew, Mr. Dongshan is our predecessor in Shandong Shilin, with good character and fame. But it took a lot of effort for my uncle to invite him. ”
Zhu Yiyuan nodded and said, "I have thousands of soldiers now, and there are hundreds of people here. But what can this soldier do? Fighting with the Qing court, I encountered a large number of soldiers and horses, but I was afraid that the whole army would be wiped out. Even if the local heroes are strong and can fight well, they may not have a chance of winning. And even if you can win one or two, can you keep winning? As for recruiting troops, it also needs money and food. ”
"At this time, there are 300 immigrants in Dawen Village, at least 1,000 people in Qingshiji, and more than 1,500 in Zichuan County. In order to resolve the poisonous plan of the Qing court and share the problem of Xie Commander, we have done our best. Zhu Yiyuan said with a smile: "May I ask at this time, if we don't want to get along with the people and get the support of the people, what can we do?" ”
Zhao Shizhe frowned slightly, "This is not bad, the so-called people who win the hearts of the people win the world, but the people's hearts are like water, and the people's movements are like smoke." I'm afraid it may not be possible for a while, right? ”
Zhu Yiyuan was about to speak, when he suddenly heard footsteps, he turned his head to look, and saw Grandma Han walking in with a plate, and there were two fist-sized steamed buns in the plate.
She stood at the door, not wanting to come in, just giving the steamed buns to Zhu Yiyuan.
Zhu Yiyuan hurriedly got up and asked rhetorically, "Can you keep it for yourself, old man?" ”
Grandma Han smiled: "Stay, I steamed four, I'll eat one, give one to the dead old man, and the remaining two." You are a big and old man, you have to eat well, don't always drink porridge, it won't work. ”
Zhu Yiyuan could only nod and thank Grandma Han, he accepted the steamed bun and handed the empty plate to the old man.
Grandma Han seemed to be leaving, but she stopped again and asked in a low voice, "Are you discussing the matter of food?" ”
Zhu Yiyuan was stunned for a moment and said, "Indeed, we are trying to find a way." ”
Grandma Han sighed, "You said that I am a lonely old woman, and there is nothing else, there are only ten acres of land at home, the old man is gone, and I have no strength to harvest, and the wheat will be ripe in a few days, you all harvest it." ”
Zhu Yiyuan hurriedly shook his head, "Your old man can't say that, the grain is yours, I will arrange for the soldiers to help collect the grain, and ensure that a grain is delivered to your home, and when I farm next year, I will also arrange people." ”
Grandma Han nodded again and again and sighed, "Good man, good soldier!" But what do you do? People are iron, rice is steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry. Is there a way to do it? ”
Zhu Yiyuan paused before saying: "There is a way, I mean the autumn harvest is approaching, and the Kong family's field rent is too much, if the big guys can join forces and stop the field rent, or just pay a little less, there will be a way." ”
Mrs. Han thought for a while, nodded and said, "Since I was a child, my grandfather and grandfather have paid rent to the Kong family, and when they got married, the dead old man also paid the rent for a lifetime. How much do we owe to the Kong family? Even if there is a mountain of gold, it should be over! ”
Zhu Yiyuan sighed: "That's true, it's just that the big guy is taking the power of the Kong family, and this step is not easy." You don't have to worry, I'll figure it out. ”
Grandma Han nodded, then staggered back to the house with the empty plate.
She put the plate away, stood for a while, and after thinking about it, she walked outside again on crutches.
She went door-to-door to visit the villagers.
"I'm so old, who is good to us, I can see it clearly, and I know it in my heart. Everyone listens to Zhu Gongzi, listen to him in order to live. ”
The old lady repeated similar words every time she said a family, and when she left, she was deeply blessed.
When she came out of the twentieth house, her legs were already weak, and she could only sit at the door. But the old lady was not willing to give up, she sat here to breathe, ready to recover her strength, and then go to the next house.
At this time, all the people who were visited by the old lady, as well as those who were not visited, all came out, and there were hundreds of people gathered together.
Grandma Han raised her head and looked at the villagers.
"The big guys are here, and I won't say the big truth, only one point, whoever is really good to me, I will be really good to others. I'm begging the big guy! ”
Saying that, the old lady struggled to kneel for the villagers.
At this moment, Huang Ying next to her hurriedly came over and helped Grandma Han.
"If you keep kneeling, we young people will all die."
After speaking, Huang Ying turned around, stared at all the villagers, and said loudly: "Now that the matter is over, are you still greedy for life and afraid of death?" The officers and soldiers were killed once, do you have to wait for the Kong family to kill them again? Aren't we going to be killed sooner or later? ”
At this time, among the villagers, a few stood up, "Huang Ying, you don't need to shout, we are just fools?" To tell you the truth, we have already contacted the surrounding villages, and if we want to do it, we will do it together, and we have broken the sky and fought for this life! ”
Huang Ying roared angrily: "Then what are you waiting for? The big guys all went to the Confucius Temple to wait, and I went to ask Zhu Gongzi to come over. ”
……
It was still the last Confucius Temple, a large bonfire was lit in the open space, and there were thousands of people gathered in ten miles and eight towns.
Unlike last time, the young people led by Huang Ying and others took the initiative to stand up and dozens of people, surrounded Zhu Yiyuan, and came to the middle of the big guys.
Grandma Han and many other villagers were sitting in the crowd, the firelight illuminated everyone's faces, and everyone's eyes converged on Zhu Yiyuan's body.
"Zhu Gongzi, just say it, what are you going to do, we'll do it with you!"
The young men yelled again and again, and this time they decided to make their own decisions and not give the old men a chance. And the cautious old people also automatically retreated to the back, they were not absent, but also pricked up their ears and listened carefully.
"Folks, we are here in Qingshiji, and we have announced the policy of dividing the fields. On this side, it is the same, the tiller has his field, and whoever sows the crops of this season belongs to whomever he sows. I will arrange for someone to come over and help the big guy grab the crops, thresh them as soon as possible, and get them into the hands of the big guys. ”
"Now there are not many soldiers and horses in Laiwu County, and after losing a few hundred people, they no longer dare to dispatch. The family of the Confucian Mansion couldn't come for a while. As for the Qing court, their armies were all staring at Gao Yuan. This is the best chance to act now, and each village will elect young people to form a militia. The minions of the Confucian Mansion, the gentry who surrendered to the Qing court, and the bullies and bandits were all swept away. ”
"From now on, Laiwu will be in our hands, and the villagers will make their own decisions!"
As soon as Zhu Yiyuan's words fell, Huang Ying was the first to jump up, "Well said, just do it!" ”
Someone took the lead, and soon the respondents gathered, and Zhu Yiyuan's past few days have not been in vain.
The villagers finally took action, and the big guys went back to the village to greet the people and form a militia...... Zhu Yiyuan walked directly in front of Grandma Han and stretched out his hand to carry the weak old man on his back.
Zhu Gongzi still remembered the old man, and the villagers hesitated for a short time, burst into enthusiastic cheers, hugged Zhu Yiyuan, and walked towards the village.
The three of Zhao Shizhe, who had been watching this scene from a distance, all showed shocked looks.
"I'm afraid that Wang Mang back then may not be able to do it!" The young man sighed at first.
And Zhao Shizhe looked at it for a long time, and suddenly said: "If you are sincere, destroy the Qing and restore your sight, it must be this person!" ”
