Chapter 16: The world trend ()

It was dawn and the salt ship continued to sail in the river.

The cool breeze is blowing and the water is rippling.

The two sides are lush and lush as far as the woods, and there are reeds more than one person in the river. In the early morning, it is mixed with the smell of fresh aquatic plants.

This kind of scene is absolutely impossible to find in the 21st century. If you only look at this scenery, then Zhang Yang really wants to stay in this picturesque water town.

However, now there are soldiers everywhere, and the people are in dire straits. The tyranny of the Yuan Dynasty has completely angered ordinary people.

The common people are very special and they are easily satisfied. No matter how heavy the burden you put on them, as long as they can survive and have food to eat, they are like an old ox, silently giving everything they have. However, if even this most basic meal cannot be maintained, the common people will become rebellious. In order to get a few bites of food, they can be charged with beheading, robbing the big family and the government.

If there was no tyranny of the court, there would be no rebels. Water could carry a boat or overturn it.

"This elder brother, I have never forgotten the grace of saving each other twice."

Zhang Yang was immersed in thinking when suddenly a word of gratitude came from his ear.

Turning his head, I saw the man I saved yesterday standing in front of me, holding his fists and bowing to me.

"Brother, don't be polite. The injury has not healed yet. Hurry up and go back to the cabin to rest." Zhang Yang also bowed to him.

When I came here, I naturally had to follow the local customs. In fact, I still like to shake hands, and I feel that this can better increase the relationship between each other.

This man has strong vitality and has shed so much blood yesterday. Today, the wound just hits, so he can move around. If he were himself, he would have to lie in bed for half a month.

Back in the cabin, the two sat down.

Zhang Yang asked first: "Do you dare to ask me about my name in Taigao?"

The man did not answer immediately, but looked around.

There were a few people on the deck that were manipulating the sails, a few people at the stern of the boat were steering, and a few people at the rear cabin were making breakfast, and everyone was busy.

"If it's inconvenient for brother, don't say it." Zhang Yang saw that he didn't want to say it, so he stopped forcing it.

Nonsense, I saw that it was a detailed work of the rebel army when I saw it. Otherwise, how could I be chased by the Yuan soldiers and got an arrow? I rescued you. You didn't even tell me a name. You looked down on me too much. Zhang Yang felt a little depressed. If he had known, he wouldn't have called you.

Sure enough, the man's face turned red, "I'm going to hide it from my brother, since my brother saved me, my life belongs to me. But I'm afraid that others will leak it out, and that will cause the eldest brother to be implicated." The man explained.

"These brothers are all their own people and are reliable," said Zhang Yang.

"My name is Tang He, and my courtesy name is Dingchen. I am from Haozhou. I joined General Guo Zixing's uprising army at the beginning of this year. Now I am in office with Qianhu of the uprising army."

Something I saw in Taizhou City, the officers and soldiers surrounded the rebels and escaped several times. One person pretended to be Tang He and was killed by the officers and soldiers. Then he saw the officers and soldiers chasing him out. After a series of incidents, Zhang Yang guessed that the person he rescued, who was injured by the arrow, was probably Tang He, and now he has confirmed it from him.

Tang He and Zhang Yang still have an impression. The history textbook mentioned that he was the number one general under Zhu Yuanzhang, a more powerful figure than Xu Da and Chang Yuchun. Moreover, he was also the only old minister who was not killed by Zhu Yuanzhang. His scheming and wisdom were far superior to other generals of his contemporaries.

"It turns out that he is Brother Dingchen or Qianhu. He is really disrespectful, he is disrespectful." Zhang Yang bowed.

"Oh, it's hard to describe it." Tang He said.

"What's wrong? Brother Ding Chen? It seems that there is something unspeakable?" Zhang Yang said.

"Don't mention it, the big good situation was messed up by several leaders who didn't know the overall situation!" Tang He said angrily.

"What's going on?" Zhang Yang asked, "I'm also very surprised, why did Brother Dingchen arrive in Taizhou?"

"In February this year, I took my own group of brothers to join General Guo's rebel army, expelled the Tartars, and returned the Han people's rivers and mountains. I just wanted to do a big battle. Every time I fought, I went forward bravely, defended Haozhou, and attacked Dingyuan, opening up a good situation for the rebel army, but..."

Tang He paused and sighed, "In the rebel army, in addition to General Guo, there is also General Sun Deya. The two of them are not in harmony. In order to compete for military power, the city of Haozhou is now uneasy. In a fit of anger, I left Haozhou and wanted to join General Peng in the south. Unexpectedly, I passed by Haozhou and was betrayed by a traitor. Fortunately, my guard attracted the attention of the Yuan soldiers and escaped. Unexpectedly, I was chased by the Yuan soldiers and was shot by an arrow. If I hadn't been rescued by my elder brother, I would have been buried here."

Zhang Yang understood almost everything about this.

What Zhang Yang is most concerned about is the general trend of the world. He heard that there are rebels in the south. How many peasant uprising troops were there around that resisted the tyranny of the Yuan Dynasty? What is their relationship?

Zhang Yang asked, "I heard you say that, the world is in chaos now?"

"Yes," said Tang He: "After General Liu Futong supported Han Lin'er's uprising in Yingzhou, he quickly captured Haozhou, Zhenyang, Runing Mansion and other places, mainly in the north. General Xu Shouhui and General Peng Yingyu formed an army in Qizhou and captured Hubei and Hunan, with a large area of ​​great momentum. However, General Guo and General Sun were not enterprising and just wanted to eliminate dissidents. I was so angry!"

"So, our north, west, and south are already working with the Mongols?" Zhang Yang thought.

"Brother, we're also fucking his grandma! Drive the Mongolians out of our land!" A voice came from my ears.

Zhang Yang raised his head in surprise. At some point, the brothers were already sitting around him. Everyone heard their conversation just now, and it was Shi Xin who spoke.

"No." Zhang Yang refused coldly.

"Anyway, we have killed Qiu Yi, so what if we do more of him?" Shi Xin said indifferently.

"no!"

Looking at everyone's eyes, including Li Bosheng and Tang He, all showed puzzled eyes, Zhang Yang explained: "We are still very weak now, only a few of us. We need for far-sightedness, weapons, food, and our revolutionary program. We need to accumulate our own strength and wait for the day when the rocks are broken." Oh no, if we are not careful, we use modern words again. Do they understand what the revolutionary program means?

In fact, it is very simple. The rebels in history must have succeeded later. Those who rebeled first were suppressed long ago.

In the end, when Chen Sheng and Wu Guang rebelled, did Liu Bang win the world? So many uprising troops, the ones who revolted first had long been eliminated. In the end, Zhu Yuanzhang, who had been waiting in Huangjue Temple for several years, won the world.

Of course, if you don’t have yourself, since you are here, history may change.

Zhang Yang looked at Tang He in front of him and asked, "Brother Dingchen, I want to ask you to stay and help me. I wonder if you are willing?"

"You saved my life, and I will follow you from now on." Tang He said firmly.

Zhang Yang's eyes were like a quartz, sweeping across everyone one by one.

The three brothers Shide, Shiyi, Shixin, Li Bosheng, Pan Yuanming, Pan Yuanshao, Lu Zhen, Zhang Tianqi, Xu Yi... Zhang Yang sees loyalty in everyone's eyes.

"Brother Shicheng, we will all follow you!"
