Chapter 044: Land Grabbing
"What does Qinglan want to ask?" Zhu Chong said.
"I want to ask you later. Jiang Qinglan looked serious, "What will you do when you are strong enough?"
"Of course, to protect the people you want to protect. Zhu Chongba said without hesitation, this is also his original intention to choose this path.
Jiang Qinglan chuckled, "Protecting the people you want to protect is something that everyone wants to do and will do, this is selfishness, is there a bigger idea." ”
Zhu Chongba was asked, is it bigger? He remembered that when his family was not ruined, although his family was poor, his parents were kind and respectful, and he herded cattle and sheep for the landlord every day, and watched the son of the landlord's family idle every day, but enjoyed the fine clothes and food, at that time he thought to himself, why did he work hard to herd cattle and sheep, and his parents worked hard, but they were so much worse than such lazy people?
He felt very unfair, but he was helpless, at that time he secretly thought, if the world was fairer, wouldn't it be so bitter?
If he was really strong enough to support bigger ideas in the future, he wanted to ......
"Let the world be fair, and I want the people of the world to have a head ......start," Zhu Chongba said this, his eyes flashed with expectation.
When Jiang Qinglan heard this, she suddenly understood the question she had been wondering about, that is, why Liu Futong was so powerful, but in the end, it was Zhu Chongba who won the final victory.
This also made Jiang Qinglan completely relieved, the great pioneers confirmed to us a truth, those who win the hearts of the people win the world, Zhu Chongba's idea represents the hearts of the vast majority of the people, this is the vast number of mass foundations.
So Jiang Qinglan nodded with a smile, "This is very good, I hope that in the future, you can remember what you said, when you are strong enough, do not lose your heart, I have already told my eldest brother, he will not pursue this person you abducted, so you are now self-reliant, what you want to do, just let it go, I still say that, I will always support you." ”
Although Zhu Chongba was a little strange why Jiang Qinglan was so sure that he would be strong in the future, since Qinglan said so, he would definitely work hard to become strong.
"What good did you give him? He didn't even want a land plane. Zhu Chongba suddenly asked.
"It's nothing, it's just a warehouse. Jiang Qinglan said.
“...... A warehouse...... That's it......" Zhu Chongba didn't know what to say anymore, and he was very distressed.
"Don't feel distressed, when did you see me make a loss-making deal?" Jiang Qinglan was amused by Zhu Chongba's expression, "Now the eldest brother is the biggest target in the eyes of the Yuan court, only if he holds on, you will not become a target." ”
Of course, in addition, the eldest brother has to go out to cut people for you, but this Jiang Qinglan didn't say it.
"Build high walls, accumulate grain, and slow to become king. Jiang Qinglan looked at Zhu Chongba, "Sixteen, do you understand what I mean? What you need to do now is not to fight, but to hoard power." ”
Zhu Chongba didn't expect that Jiang Qinglan would see his current situation so thoroughly and make such a thoughtful plan for him, he was moved in his heart at the same time, but he was also a little scared, afraid that such a powerful Jiang Qinglan would not look down on him.
You must hurry up and become stronger, Zhu Chongba thought silently in his heart.
Zhu Chongba thinks so, and he does this, the place where they are now is Hezhou, the reason why he came here is because he took a fancy to Jiqing, originally he was still a little hesitant, whether to take this place so rashly, now that Jiang Qinglan is here, he is like taking a shot in the arm, and immediately discussed with Jiang Qinglan and Lu Ji to capture Jiqing.
Jiang Qinglan naturally agreed, and to build a high wall, you have to have a site first, right?
So the three of them planned, first occupy the small places around Jiqing and isolate them, and then advance by land and water to take them.
The local area heard that there was a righteous army to fight Jiqing, and many people came to join the army, Zhu Chongba was naturally happy, and they were incorporated one by one, among which there was a local powerful Haoqiang who came with a team of people to vote, but was stopped by Jiang Qinglan.
Zhu Chongba was puzzled, this person not only brought a lot of people, but also donated some family property, why did he stop him?
Jiang Qinglan smiled and took out a red scarf from the things donated by the man, "Do you recognize it?" ”
Zhu Chongba was stunned, his face suddenly darkened, and people directly tied up this gentleman.
It turned out that this person was angry with the Yuan court, and even more angry with the Red Turban Army, so he colluded with the Yuan court, pretended to join the army, took the news, turned his head and told the court the news of the Red Turban Army, and criticized the clothes of the Red Turban Army during the day and called him a brother and a brother, and at night he took off his clothes and followed the Yuan court to beat his own brothers.
Because of this, no one has been able to capture Jiqing.
"Qinglan, how do you know that he didn't really come to vote?" Zhu Chongba looked at Jiang Qinglan with sparkling eyes and said.
That day, I took the bottle to the street and chatted with the lady of the tea shop, and I knew that there was an incident here, but it was later extinguished by the Yuan court. Jiang Qinglan said with a smile, "I had the heart to inquire, so I bought a few more bowls of tea, and my aunt told me this story." ”
"Now that the heroes have risen together, how many of them have not burned and looted? Even the eldest brother has won the battle, and has not turned a blind eye to some of the actions of the soldiers? ”
"In addition, the heroic squire, have you seen a few people who take the initiative to send money out? Or give it to the rebels who may have robbed them, there must be demons when things go wrong, so ......"
"I see. Zhu Chongba understood, and he carefully investigated the bottom of those who came to join the army later.
and also released the news that he would not kill people indiscriminately, rob or plunder, burn houses, or do things that hurt nature and reason.
As soon as this news came out, there were more people who supported him, and the common people actually didn't care who was the emperor at all, who could let them have a place to settle down and have something to eat, and they were willing to follow whom, especially simple, coaxing and ruthless.
Everything is ready, on the first day of the first month of March, Zhu Chongba and Lu Ji led the land and water army to march together, Chen Zhaoxian, a soldier outside Jiqing City, was defeated and surrendered, Zhu Chongba collected 36,000 people, and then Jiqing City was broken, and the army and civilians surrendered.
After Zhu Chongba entered the city, he convened a meeting of officials and the people, and announced with emotion, "The government of the Yuan Dynasty oppressed the people, corrupted and rotten the roots, fought wars everywhere, and the people suffered. ”
......
He was originally from a poor family, he knew what these people could understand, and he knew what to say the most touching to them, and a few words that seemed simple calmed people's hearts and restored order.
