Chapter 125: Heroic Blood and Tears
Seeing that his face was different, Zhu Su was also stunned. When I first came in, I didn't know anything, why did my face turn white when I asked the renter?
"Wang ...... Rajah. "Wang Gui trembled like a frightened sparrow." Rent in the village...... First, the first time has been handed over to the masters in the temple. The rest is the life-saving food of the farmers......"
"Who has taken a fancy to your bread? I want to ask, you live in this village, but what else is not going well? ”
"Look at the harvest in your fields, it is not very good. Need some rent relief? ”
Zhu Su laughed, this Wang Gui actually thought that he had summoned them to increase the rent. I obviously saw that those bald donkeys were collecting too much rent, and I was afraid that these farmers would not survive the autumn harvest, so I wanted to give them some rent relief and buy people's hearts.
Stretched out his hand to help the old man up, but he didn't expect the old man to tremble even more. The old man has survived under the rule of Meng Yuan until now, and finally has his own one-third of an acre of land and has been snatched away by Bifeng Temple, where will he trust the sovereign of the land to have good intentions? It's not that those nobles in the former Yuan have never seen it, which one is not the master who eats people and doesn't spit out bones?
This is still a prince, that's the Tyrannosaurus! If he finds him, can there be any good things? There must be a fraud! If you agree, this little prince will definitely turn his face!
Zhu Su continued to say a few words with a pleasant face, but no matter what he said, this Wang Zhuangtou simply knelt on the ground and kowtowed, his teeth gurgled and he couldn't answer a word, as if he was going to be eaten alive in the next second.
Zhu Su, who figured out the joints, sighed, put away the style of buying people's hearts, and simply put his hands behind his back and made a cold and arrogant appearance: "What a noble person this king is, how can he put three melons and two dates on a few acres of land in his eyes." It's ridiculous to think that this king is going to increase taxes. ”
"Let's go down!"
This sentence is finished. Wang Gui didn't even tremble, but there was a look on his face for the rest of his life, and after kowtowing a few more times, he was afraid that Zhu Su would return. made Zhu Su cry and laugh, he thought that Dafa, which was invincible and unfavorable in the future generations, ended up like this, and he was really far out of touch with this era.
I remember that it was recorded in the history books that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty took the name of the Marquis of Pingyang to have fun, and was caught by the peasants for trampling on the wheat field and sued the official. In the Han Dynasty, the people dared to tie up the powerful with flat heads, but at this time, the people of the Ming Dynasty trembled because they saw a minor prince.
Zhu Su wants to come from the masses and go to the masses, but the general environment of this era will not allow it. At this time, the Han people, who had been devastated by foreign races, were accustomed to being oppressed and were already like frightened birds......
Anyway, it is better to reduce the tax and collect less when the rent is collected.
Zhu Su forced himself to stop thinking about these deep things, and turned his gaze to the veteran named Wu Ting. This veteran was killed from the sea of corpses and blood, and he was well-informed and did not tremble with fear like that Wang Gui. It's just that in Zhu Su's opinion, he always has some listlessness feeling.
"Wu Baihu? You have just recently moved here, but what inconvenience do you need the king's help with? Zhu Su said to Wu Ting. The men in the army must not like to go around and around, and it is best to go straight and straight like this.
The man named Wu Ting bowed his hand again: "With the grace of His Royal Highness, there is no inconvenience in sharing our land and property." ”
Most of these veterans who Li Wenzhong helped relocate here were in dilapidated military households with no land or property in their hometowns. The Northern Expedition was undefeated and undefeated, and there was no reward, so there was no way back, so he responded to the call of the old lord to come to Zhu Su to ask for a living. Even the disabled Lao Zhuang was given a few acres of land by Zhu Su, and they really thanked Zhu Su for his kindness.
"The martial arts team doesn't have to be restrained. I see that there is a lot of sadness in your eyes, and if there is a difficulty, it is okay to say. Zhu Su said.
"This ......" Wu Ting was stunned. He lowered his head and hesitated for a while, and said, "Your Highness, the last general...... There was indeed a reluctant invitation. ”
This tower-like man was ashamed, and he actually pushed the gold mountain and poured the jade pillar, and knelt down directly in front of Zhu Su.
"The last general implores that His Royal Highness can recruit the last general to join Wu Wangwei! Although the last general is no longer confused, the blood is not cold! Just give the last general a knife, and the last general will capture the flag will be no problem! ”
"The last general single-handedly killed five Yuangou people in Northern Xinjiang, and it is clearly recorded in the military merit book! The last general will not be those Tanaka styles, but only willing to carry a knife to continue to fight for the country! ”
"May Your Highness be fulfilled, please be fulfilled by Your Highness!"
As he spoke, he kowtowed to Zhu Su heavily.
"Hundred households, please get up!" Zhu Su hurriedly stretched out his hand to help, but this man decided to kneel, his strength was straight to a thousand catties, how could Zhu Su afford it? I could only go to see Li Rong, the commander standing on the side. Li Rong stepped forward willingly, and directly pulled up this Wu Baihu with one hand: "Wuda, if you have something to say, what about scaring His Highness with this set?" ”
"It's been a few months since you've been back, and you still haven't picked up your desire for revenge?"
What kind of great strength can Li Rong capture the galloping horse alive? Wu Baihu couldn't kneel anymore. The rough face turned red: "General...... I, I, how can I farm and live with peace of mind? ”
"As soon as I close my eyes, I can see the second and third children staring at me when they were hacked to death by Yuangou......"
"It should be me who died, this must be the second and third children who came to me to ask for their lives......"
As he spoke, a tower-like man burst into tears.
"Fuck you! Wu Er and Wu San were hacked to death by Yuan Gou. ”
"If you want to ask for your life, you are also looking for those yuan dogs, what are you doing as a big brother? Your martial arts family is now left with you to raise your son and those two nephews, and you want to go to the battle array, how can the three pairs of orphans and widows surnamed Wu live? ”
Li Rong directly kicked Wu Baihu's leg, and Wu Baihu fell to the ground one by one, as if he had been stripped of all his spirit, and slammed the ground in frustration.
"What's going on?" Zhu Su turned his head and asked Li Rong.
After Li Rong's explanation, Zhu Su knew the cause and effect. The experience of this Wuting Baihu is similar to that of Lao Zhu, who was forced to death by the Northern Yuan Dynasty in the former Yuan Dynasty, and worked hard to pull the two younger brothers to survive the troubled times at the end of the Yuan Dynasty.
Unexpectedly, when the three brothers were working as an outpost of the army, they unexpectedly encountered the encirclement of the Northern Yuan cavalry. Wu Ting's two younger brothers, who depended on each other, died tragically......
"What a strong man!" Li Rong is a rough man who is not good at words, but these few words Zhu Su describes the outline of a hero and two martyrs. made Zhu Su have to be in awe.
"Hey, their brother is in his forties. I thought that I would kill a few more yuan dogs in this northern expedition and earn some rewards, so I went to the southern guard to live a few years in peace. ”
"As a result, the Northern Expedition failed, Wu Er and Wu San were gone, but the imperial court did not reward them at all......" Speaking of this, Li Rong closed his mouth and glanced at Zhu Su. This sentence already has the suspicion of resentment against the imperial court.
Zhu Su naturally didn't care about Li Rong's momentary anger. In fact, he also has a lot of complaints about Lao Zhu's treatment. Although the Northern Expedition failed, it is also a fact that the soldiers fought bloodily, and the lack of reward and punishment really chilled the hearts of these hot-blooded men.
In the Ming Shilu, the outcome of this battle is only a mere cross: it is useless to conquer the north, so there is no reward.
There are few words in the annals of history, but how many men's blood and tears are contained in them!
