Chapter 5 The country is dying

Liu Tianyu and Yang Dazhu were also thrown into a broken room together with a few bandits who drank sheep bone soup.

There is only one door and no window in this room. If someone guards the door, it is difficult to escape. Usually, it is used to detain the meat tickets tied up by the village.

As soon as I entered, there were already people inside, and there were two, wearing only a thin coat on them, curled up in the corner of the room, where some hay was spread on the ground.

"Da Niu, Er Niu, why are you two here?" Yang Dazhu asked curiously when he saw the person in the room.

"They suspected that we stole the second master's jade and locked us here without finding it from us. Where are you?" The person who spoke was Erniu, who was more happy than the big bull, not as slim as the big bull.

"It's similar to you, but the second master's jade was found on the scholar's bed." Yang Dazhu found a place with hay and sat down.

"Ah! Yu was stole by a scholar!" Erniu was surprised and then said, "Since we caught the person who stole the jade, there is nothing we have to do with us. Why didn't we let me and Daniu go out?"

"Bad, the scholar was with us from beginning to end, and he had never even entered the house. How could he have appeared from his bed? I think someone was deliberately framed." Yang Dazhu said angrily, "There are ten things made by the master, the turtle-bearer."

"No matter whether it is a frame-up or not, the thing was found from the scholar. This matter proves that it has nothing to do with me and Daniu. We also got the whip for the scholar. Why didn't they let us out?" Erniu said dissatisfiedly.

I don’t know if it’s because of the big counterfeit cabinet or the blame for the scholar.

Daniu, who had not said anything, suddenly said, "Don't you see it yet? If you really want to let us go, you should let us go when the scholar and Dazhu first came in."

"Why? This matter has nothing to do with us, why don't you let us go out?" Erniu was puzzled. The injuries on his body were uncomfortable. He felt even more uncomfortable when he was locked in such a closed place.

"Then you have to ask Dagui and Erye and others. We are soldiers, and no one will care about our lives or death." Yang Dazhu leaned halfway on the wall, holding a piece of hay in his mouth.

Erniu was like a deflated ball, and suddenly pulled away his energy and was depressed on the haystack, and was still muttering why and why.

"Big Niu, you often have the opportunity to appear in front of several leaders of the parody village. Have you heard any news? I feel something is wrong with the parody village these days." Yang Dazhu turned his head and looked at the biu on the haystack.

Daniu thought for a while and said, "There is a message I don't know if it's important. I heard Erye and Dagu say it two days ago."

"What news?" Yang Dazhu became interested, sat up, and looked at the people around him, "You can come here and listen, anyway, you are idle."

Several people sat around Daniu and Erniu. Liu Tianyu, who was originally sitting next to Yang Dazhu, was the farthest away.

Daniu said: "A few days ago, the Second Master was circulating a message for Mr. Hu, saying that Liao Shen from Datong was going to go to the mountains to suppress the bandits."

"What's this news?" Someone immediately expressed boredom when he heard what Daniu said.

"No, no." Yang Dazhu frowned, "When will it take action to suppress the bandits? It is not a rebellion, and there are no large groups of bandits to attack the county town. Why did it attract big figures like General Datong to lead troops to suppress the bandits?"

The big giant curled his lips and said, "How could I know? I don't think we don't know about it. Maybe the only one who knows is the Tiger Master from Heihu Village."

Yang Dazhu turned his gaze to Liu Tianyu and touched his elbow twice, "Scholars, you scholars are very smart, please think about it."

"Hiss... it hurts." Liu Tianyu's mouth trembled. The place where Yang Dazhu's elbow touched was the arm that was whipped by a horse whip. This movement led to the wound on his shoulder.

"No, no, no, no," Yang Dazhu quickly apologized. Seeing that Liu Tianyu was a little better, he said, "Don't stop talking, help me think about why big names like General Datong come to suppress bandits?"

In the dim room, Liu Tianyu's eyes became bright and angry, no longer the dull and numb eyes that were before.

The second in commander's whip whipped Liu Tianyu, and also whipped Liu Tianyu's heart, making him wake up from the confused state of being unable to accept reality.

"What is the saying about the soldiers and suppressing bandits? It's natural to do it." Liu Tianyu didn't think there was anything wrong with the soldiers going up the mountain to suppress bandits.

Think about the time when the liberation was just now, the great people's army did not often send troops to suppress bandits, but later the story of *** and Zuoshan Diao was widely circulated.

Yang Dazhu rolled his eyes and said, "It is normal for soldiers to suppress bandits, but General Datong is a border army. Apart from rebellion, there is no need to mobilize border troops to suppress bandits. Some strong men raised by gentry in the surrounding area can help us to pacify them."

After reminding this, Liu Tianyu suddenly realized that he was no longer under the red flag but in the Ming Dynasty, an era when the imperial power did not go to the countryside.

In this era, the king and the law had the final say in the county town, but outside the county town were the gentry and powerful people. As long as the bandits did not attack the county town or killed officials and rebelled, basically no one would care about it. Some gentry even secretly colluded with bandits to do some shameful acts.

Compared with later generations, as long as the bandits in this era do not kill officials or rebel, except for the bandits fighting and annexing each other, they live too freely at other times.

"What are you thinking about? I'm stunned again." Yang Dazhu hit Liu Tianyu's thigh with his arm. This time he was very careful not to touch Liu Tianyu's injured arm.

"What year is this year?" Liu Tianyu asked without any conclusion.

Yang Dazhu was stunned by the side, and didn't understand for a moment, but he still said, "In the 43rd year of Wanli, you won't be stupid, right!"

There is no scholar who doesn’t remember the dynasty’s reign. If the scholar in front of him hadn’t really good at writing, he almost thought he was a fake scholar in front of him.

"The 43rd year of Wanli." Liu Tianyu read it softly and thought in his mind.

Although he is not a historian, historical figures such as Zhang Juzheng and Wei Zhongxian still know that Zhang Juzheng was the assistant to the cabinet in the Wanli period. After Wanli's death, it seems that few emperors were finished in the Ming Dynasty.

It is now the forty-three years of Wanli. According to the short-lived emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor should have been slapped in a few years, and then the crown prince inherited the throne. Who knew that this emperor was more slapped in his throne. Less than a month after he ascended the throne, he passed his hair to Zhu Youxiao, a famous carpenter emperor in later generations.

Zhu Youxiao is also a short-lived ghost. He died in his twenties. This time, the person who succeeded the throne was the extremely famous Emperor Chongzhen. Later, the one who hung on Coal Mountain, and now there is another tourist attraction in Coal Mountain.

Recalling so much, Liu Tianyu made up his mind by hand. Now there are not many years left before the Ming Dynasty is destroyed. At least if he can't wait for his normal death, the Ming Dynasty will be dead.
