"Frankly, you've been hiding well, and it's your men who betrayed you."

Zhou Yuji was straightforward: "Every time they encounter a big event, their eyes look at where you are, intentionally or unintentionally. ”

"Hmph, sure enough, you do all these things for a purpose."

Zhang Dingguo smiled bitterly.

It's really hard to prevent.

"How? Can we have a good talk? ”

Zhou Yuji asked tentatively.

"Yes, but if you want me to surrender to you, it's impossible."

Zhang Dingguo's attitude is clear.

He was born poor and almost starved to death, but it was Zhang Xianzhong who gave him a bite to eat.

"Let's look at things in a different direction, like staying away from this place of right and wrong."

Zhou Yuji said: "I am the Liaodong Army, and I will return to Liaodong after this battle, and you can go back to Liaodong with us." ”

"What's the difference between that and surrendering." Zhang Dingguo snorted coldly.

"It's a big difference. If you go back with us, then at least it is the treatment of recruits, and after a few months of training, you can become an auxiliary soldier, and finally become a combat soldier. ”

Zhou Yuji said gently: "The recruit has seven dollars of silver and five buckets of rice a month. The auxiliary soldiers are one or two and a half dollars a month, and seven buckets of rice. The soldiers were three taels of silver a month, and one piece of rice. ”

Zhang Dingguo's mouth opened wide.

He was not shaken, but shocked.

One bucket of rice is enough for them to eat for six days, and five buckets of rice is thirty days.

He was referring to the food, and the Liaodong Army was extra and could be taken home.

"Where did you get so much food! The great drought in the world, didn't it hurt Liaodong? ”

Zhang Dingguo was very curious.

"How could it not be hurt, the third or fourth year of the Apocalypse was either a major drought or a catastrophe, and it was all about begging for rice everywhere to get through the crisis."

Zhou Yuji said with a smile.

"And where does your food come from?" Zhang Dingguo asked.

"Liaodong has been in war for a long time, there are no decent landlords and gentry, the land belongs to the people, and Liaodong Town collects grain according to the land. In addition, grain was purchased from the Gyeonggi lords. ”

Zhou Yuji patiently explained: "Li Chao also sent food. In addition, you can buy the food you need from the Japanese country. ”

"Will this solve the problem of food?" Zhang Dingguo didn't believe it.

"Of course. You have been 'eating big households', where do these big farmers get their food? It has not yet been taken from the hands of the people. ”

Zhou Yuji said: "We in Liaodong Town will never allow anyone to buy land from the people for any reason, and there is naturally plenty of food. ”

"They don't make trouble?" Zhang Dingguo thought it was incredible.

"How can you not make trouble, it is all blocked by the warp. He also brought these people overseas, and many wealthy people bought lucky ships and started maritime trade. ”

"How much money can you make at sea?"

"The real money is python satin, porcelain, tea, etc., especially python satin."

Zhou Yuji said with a smile: "In the final analysis, it's all about making rich people's money." ”

When he said this, Zhou Yuji changed his words and asked: "Brother, let me ask you a word, you have been eating a big family, how long can you eat?" ”

Zhang Dingguo fell silent.

This is a question he himself is asking himself, and he can't get an answer.

"The local tyrants and inferior gentry all over the world are certainly hateful. But we also need to see the other side, where many people deliberately join their doors in order to avoid heavy taxes. ”

Zhou Yuji said: "You eat a big family, which is equivalent to forcing this group of people into a corner. You say that you are a poor people, so why does Zhang Xianzhong have a large group of wives, and most of the soldiers under your command are single. ”

"Humph! are all dying, who has the time to listen to your chatter. ”

Zhang Dingguo was irritable.

In Zhou Yuji's view, there has been a breakthrough.

He said, "But now that you are alive, you can think about it more." If you don't come to your senses, you'll spend the rest of your life in the mines. ”

"What do you mean?" Zhang Dingguo asked in surprise.

"Jinglu will throw those who do not surrender to him, as well as corrupt officials and corrupt officials, to the mines, and work as coolies for the rest of their lives until they die of old age."

Zhou Yuji said: "But don't worry, we never abuse the miners, we eat and drink well every day, but we don't have the freedom of life." ”

Zhang Dingguo gasped, thinking that he would spend his life in the dark in the future, and he felt scared.

He was still young.

"Don't worry, we'll give you a little time to think about it."

Zhou Yuji stopped the topic in time.

Zhang Dingguo sneered: "You are not afraid that we will learn from the carriage gorge, and then run away after you vote." ”

"That's incompetence." Zhou Yuji said, "We treat the enemy and never be soft. ”

The implication is that there is only one chance, and the second time is death.

Zhang Dingguo thought to himself, even if he was given another chance, he still couldn't beat the cavalry of the Liaodong Army.

He was returned to the prisoner camp and held with other prisoners.

Hao Yongzhong came over and asked in a low voice, "What?" They're torturing you! ”

"Nope." Zhang Dingguo said depressedly, "The surname is Zhou, and he is very polite to me. ”

"I want you to surrender him." Hao Yongzhong was disdainful.

"It's not him, it's Ji Liao Jingluo."

Zhang Dingguo sat on the ground and sighed: "The Liaodong Army is so strange, I can't understand it at all." ”

Hao Yongzhong also sighed.

The days of captivity were so hard.

As the night passed, the sound of the shoes on the mud woke the captives.

They got up and ran to the edge of the fence to look out.

I saw a group of Ming cavalry, with a bunch of heads, whistling and galloping past.

There are some of them, and they still seem to be familiar faces.

Bloodstained.

This frightened the captives.

For the first time, they felt that the barracks was so safe.

At this time, the soldiers of the Liaodong Army came in and brought them breakfast.

Zhou Yuji is also there.

He looked outside the camp and comforted everyone: "Don't worry, they don't dare to go to the Liaodong Army to spread wild." After breakfast, if someone is willing to take a look at the Liaodong Army with me, please step forward. ”

"Uh......" "Uh!"

When I heard that I could see the Liaodong military camp, I was full of curiosity.

Zhou Yuji did not speak, but looked at Zhang Dingguo.

Zhang Dingguo hesitated for a moment, and then named a few people: "You and me, as well as Hao Shaoqi, go and see it together." ”

"Yes." The one who was named came out of the queue and said with his fists clenched.

Zhou Yuji nodded with satisfaction.

How big is the gap between the armies?

Zhang Dingguo didn't feel it before, but now he has.

It stands to reason that after a big battle, soldiers will unload their armor and rest for a few days.

But all they see is all kinds of training.

Tense and orderly.

"We were ordered to go to Yaozhou and relieve the siege of Yaozhou." Zhou Yuji didn't hide it from them.

Zhang Dingguo was puzzled: "Don't you all rest?" ”

"Haha...... Who says we don't rest? Zhou Yuji said with a smile, "There is a lunch break at noon and a late break in the afternoon." ”

"I mean, a big war, you don't rest?"

Zhang Dingguo said busily.

"War horses need to rest, so we ride and train the second war horse."

Zhou Yuji said with a smile: "Confrontation with the peasant army, I'm afraid it's not a big war. ”

Zhang Dingguo, Hao Yongzhong and others were speechless.

At the same time, a shocking explosion sounded in the mountainous area of Chaoyang County!

"Boom!"

The earth trembled.
