Chapter 259 The Difficulties of the Villagers
Although the old man is old, he is not vague when he starts.
Although the tigers and the two are tall and big, they are a kind person in their hearts. How could they bear to attack a group of poor villagers?
He just quickly explained, "Old man, I misunderstood that we are the soldiers of Duke Wu of Yingtian."
After hearing this, the old village chief did not believe it at all. He pointed at the strange outfit of the army behind Hu Er and cursed: "Dog bastard, if you want to deceive me, the soldiers of Duke Wu are all wearing big red fat jackets. How could it be like you guys? The villagers beat me up."
The old peddler also shook the flag on the tree and shouted loudly: "My mothers in the village, run faster, it will be too late if they run slowly."
"Zhuangzi, ask a few people to guard the bridge. When we are all dead, cut the rope off."
Hu Er felt wronged and was beaten but he didn't dare to fight back. He could only protect himself tightly.
And Li Hanwen was even more miserable. He became blue and swollen in a while.
Zhu Zhen saw that Hu Er couldn't explain clearly, and this group of villagers must have been bullied by the rioters and could not listen to the explanation at all.
So with a wave of his hand, the army directly pressed forward, without hurting anyone, but just surrounded everyone by the bridge.
The army's actions were natural and obvious. In an instant, a group of people were driven to the stream.
Seeing that things were not done, a group of young men quickly cut off the ropes of the suspension bridge.
But they did not cross the river and chose to live and die with the president and others.
Hu Er was rescued by a group of scouts, and his nose was already bruised and swollen.
"Sir, you just let those fools beat you, and you won't fight back?"
After the soldier rescued Hu Er, he helped bandage the wound and said unfairly.
"It's a big deal! It's not our own fault if the people don't trust us!"
As he said that, Hu Er couldn't help but curse Zhang Shicheng again.
Zhu Zhen signaled his servants to go to show the president with the seal and Zhu Yuanzhang's military order.
The president was waving his crutches and releasing animals and cursing. If it weren't for a group of shield soldiers who were blocking them with their shields, the old man would have wanted to spit at the soldiers.
"Old man, this is our Lord's Seal's seal and the military order of Duke Wu. If you take a closer look, we have really misunderstood."
The old peddler had seen the scene. Seeing that these soldiers were just driving out the villagers who beat Hu Er, but did not kill him, maybe they were really not bad people.
So I wanted to go down the tree, but when I turned over, my frozen pants were torn apart. Is there a belt? The pants were taken off instantly, revealing my white butt.
The cold wind made the old man tremble.
Immediately a soldier took off his robe and threw a snow-white cloak over it.
The old scholar thought to himself that he might not be able to survive today, so he put his cotton jacket on his body, not to mention that it was really warm. The sheepskin robe he wore before also felt cold in the gap, but the soldier's cotton robe was quite warm when he wore it.
"I'll give you a shitty hat."
The soldier grinned and threw the dog-skin hat wrapped around his head.
At this time, the appearance of the soldier was fully displayed. He was wearing a big red mandarin duck battle jacket, wearing a geese wing on his head, and a geese feathered sword hanging on his waist. He was majestic and heroic.
The old scholar got closer, and then he could see clearly, then stepped forward and touched him and said, "Are you really the Duke of Wu?"
The soldier smiled silly and said, "Of course it's true, can you still deceive the old man?"
The old peddler took the seal and military order and looked carefully. He was shocked and hurriedly led the president to kneel opposite Zhu Zhen and shouted loudly: "The old child is ignorant and has collided with the Lord. Please forgive me."
The old president also knew that he had made a big mistake with the villagers. He was just stupid and did not dare to talk nonsense, but just kowtowed with the old scholar.
Zhu Zhen laughed and said, "We made white robes for the sake of convenience and secrecy, which caused misunderstandings between the two sides. It is not entirely for you to blame.
Get up.”
"General, please follow the old man back to the village to rest."
The village chief held it for a long time before he could put it in a word.
Zhu Zhen waved his hand and signaled the army to follow up.
Although Zhang Shicheng made Zhu Yuanzhang's jurisdiction messy, the villagers still quite recognized Zhu Yuanzhang's benevolence and righteousness towards the people.
This is also the result of Zhu Yuanzhang's arrival in Yingtian and began to restrain robbery, recuperate and develop production.
The people do not have much pursuit. As long as they can live a stable life and have a good meal.
I was so cautious before, because I was afraid of being robbed.
Under the leadership of the old scholar, Hu Er arranged accommodation in private houses, but Mu Ying and Chang Mao led a group of auxiliary soldiers to rebuild the bridge. The previous bridge had been damaged and would definitely not be used.
A group of women, children and the elderly stood pitifully across the stream. If the cold wind was allowed to blow like this, they would definitely catch a cold the next day.
Li Hanwen was wandering in the bridge-building team, complaining from time to time, saying that you are blind, and you don’t even know the Duke of Wu. He has learned a few big words from time to time, but he doesn’t even know Junshan?
Although a group of young men felt guilty, they were not forgiving each other. Every time Zhang Zhe came to rob, you would kneel on the ground and wail, without even the intention to resist.
Some young people followed Li Hanwen and murmured in a low voice, "Hanwen, you know the military masters just now. Can you introduce us to us? We also want to join the army. It's so majestic."
Li Hanwen said speechlessly: "I just beat me up and I still want to march into the Shanda Camp and have your dream."
Although there was a big misunderstanding just now, Junshan Camp helped build the bridge, stepped on the cold stream, and knew how to tremble, which really won the respect of the villagers.
The water in the stream does have ice, but it is very thin. If you step on it with your feet, the ice on the stream will immediately crack.
The central office can even reach the waist, but for the sake of the people, the man in Junshan still gritted his teeth and insisted on helping to finish the pile, built a temporary wooden bridge again, and took the villagers back.
Everyone is looking for survival in this troubled time, and it is very rare to see such a man who gives people a sense of security.
In a short while, a guy like Mu Ying, who had a big eye, had been touched by the widow in the village, and gave Mu Ying a piece of the small amount of bread left at home.
As for the handsome Fu Zijie, he squatted under the wall to wipe his body. He originally thought that he would be more enjoyable to work with his clothes, but who would have thought that he would be touched for a while.
Zhu Zhen was invited to the old president's home, and the president's wife was a fifty-year-old woman.
I borrowed some coarse tea from someone else's house, brewed a pot of tea for Zhu Zhen, and rode it in a coarse porcelain bowl.
The old president is still a little scared now, but hesitated, not knowing how to speak.
Zhu Zhen would definitely not make things difficult for the old man, so he asked: "I let the riots cause trouble a few days ago. Even though I bought some food, I can survive this winter in the next day."
When Zhu Zhen mentioned this, the old president looked difficult and shook his head and said bitterly: "I'm going to say that the newly bought food is now. Even when there were grains stored before, it might not be enough for the villagers to spend this winter. God has not been open to his eyes in recent years. When crops grow, it is severe drought. When it snows heavily in winter, it will be difficult for everyone to go out and find some food."
Zhu Zhen nodded and said, "President, we have a responsibility for losing food and grass.
However, our army is about to set sail, and we really don’t have the time and opportunity to help you eliminate these bandits. We can only leave some food and grass for you to overcome the difficulties.”
Upon hearing this, Qi Yi's expression became a little dim.
But he also understood that elite marches like Junshan must have his military orders.
If you waste time with me, you will have to be beheaded.
He stood up and wanted to bow, and said sincerely: "The old child thanked the lord for the villagers."
Zhu Zhen quickly helped the president up, thinking that after he left, the lives of these villagers would be difficult, and Zhu Zhen felt surprisingly sad.
When will this fucking day end and when will it be able to bring peace to the people of the world?
I felt guilty and was unwilling to talk to the president anymore. After drinking tea, I went out to inspect the team.
Not long after I left the house, I heard Chang Mao say, "Brother Zhen, I have already checked. There are no suspicious people in the village, and no one secretly goes out to say anything.
However, I found footprints of war horses on the mountain west of the village, and I suspected that they were the enemy's scout."
Zhu Zhen looked at the starry sky and said, "I ordered people to check it overnight. If the distance is not far, we will take the people to eat these beasts."
A group of cute children were spinning around the soldiers who were staying at their home, with big eyes looking at the sled with curiosity.
"Big brother, are we playing with your car?"
In the eyes of children, those who can run on the ground should be called a taxi.
Yang Xun is also from a poor family and has a good attitude towards the people. Others are so tired that their backs are sore and they are too lazy to move, but he is willing to squat on the ground and carefully tie a rope for the child.
Then tell the child how to slide the sled on the ground and how to pay attention to safety.
Not far away, Zhu Zhen looked at Yang Xun who was carefully teaching the child to ski, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
In fact, everyone has their own advantages, but it is not easy to discover.
At some point, Fu Zijie saw Zhu Zhen, who was ecstatic from afar, leaning against the wall to shelter the wind, and whispered to Zhu Zhen: "Sir, this group of people is suffering in the family. I just saw that the food they allocated was not enough for them to spend this winter."
Zhu Zhen nodded and said, "I know."
"Sir, our brothers stayed there, and the villagers took out all the eggs they had treasured for them to eat, saying that they would repay our bridge repair."
Zhu Zhen also nodded and said, "I know too."
"Sir."
Fu Zijie suddenly said loudly.
"What do you want to say?"
Zhu Zhen asked.
Fu Zijie looked at Zhu Zhen and said with confusion: "Sir, you are also a kind person. How can you watch these villagers suffer but not take action?"
Zhu Zhen looked at Fu Zijie, "You go down and rest first, I have my own plans."
"Why!"
Fu Zijie sighed helplessly, and looked at the innocent and cute children, and felt even more uncomfortable, but he also knew Zhu Zhen’s difficulties. If the army marched, if it could not complete the task, it would have to be severely punished.
Especially Lan Yu, Geng Bingwen and others were surrounded, and Zhu Zhen could not delay any time.
But when he thought of this village, he felt extremely uncomfortable.
Zhu Zhen looked at the sporadic sparks in the village and murmured to himself, "I hope you don't let me down."
