Chongzhen Undergraduates

At noon when the sun was shining brightly, there were a few fast horses walking slowly in the shade.

Some villagers hiding in the dense forest looked at these people curiously, but saw that they were all tied to horseback, and their eyes were covered with black cloth, so they couldn't see them.Surrounding them were a group of young men with fierce looks but messy clothes, armed with knives, guns and sticks.

Looking at these young and robust outfits, they must not be officers and soldiers. Their weapons are various and their clothes are also colorful.Could it be a thieves?

For the so-called "green forest hero", there are some different names all over the country. Liaodong is called "beard"; northwest is called "swordsman"; The famous Shandong "Thieves".Later, after the earthen guns became available, they were also called "poles" in many places.After entering a civilized society, later generations will call them "those who come out to mess".

I don't know how many turns to turn and how many villages passed before Yao Hai was dragged off his horse.

"Take off their blindfolds!" Before Yao Hai got up, he heard a gloomy voice in his ears.

The black cloth that was blindfolded was taken off, and Yao Haimeng's eyes were filled with bright yellow light. It was because he had been blindfolded for too long and suddenly became unaccustomed to the light.

"Who are you guys, what are you doing here in Yuyuan?" Yao Hai rubbed his eyes and looked for a long time, and finally saw clearly who was fighting against him.

The person in front of him was tall and tall, tall and thick, he looked like a practicing family.Looking at his eyes, it doesn't look like he was born in the army, at least he has never experienced a big battlefield.Yao Hai has experienced a great war. The person who came down from the battlefield has a cold and sharp look in his eyes. Although this person is fierce, he is not.

"Who are you? The person I want to meet is the big leader here." Yao Hai determined that this person should not be the leader of Yuyuan.

"Drag it on, cut it off." The man saw the tough attitude of the few people in front of him, intending to intimidate them.

Unexpectedly, Yao Hai and the others ignored it at all, and just said: "I don't see the big leader, sorry I have no comment!"

"Hehe! You have a strong mouth. I know you are not convinced, but I never ask why you kill people. Killing you is to help you reincarnate early and be a new person." If you want to kill, you won't bother to get here.Yao Hai naturally understood that this was nothing more than a blow to the horse.

"Only those who can't beat them say such nonsense, and those who are capable won't make excuses." Yao Hai provoked him deliberately.

"Yeah, I'll hit you today! Untie him." The man was really fooled, seeing his subordinates untie the comer, he stood up straight and stretched his palms forward, clearly wanting to provoke.

Yao Hai squeezed his fists, and then put his fists in front of his eyes, in a boxing pose.This is what he learned from Zhu Youjian, and it is said that it is a fresh boxing method.

Before Yao Hai could stand still, the man suddenly turned around and bent down to squat down. Then he turned around and swept across, hitting Yao Hai's ankle firmly.

"Plop!" Yao Hai lost his balance and fell to the ground.

"Good!" The people around immediately applauded.The man smiled complacently, and stood up, still in the same rising position just now.

Yao Hai climbed up with his hands on his hands, spat out the dead tree leaves from the corner of his mouth, still in the fist-clasping posture just now, and moved his feet quickly from side to side.

Seeing that he can no longer use the previous move, the man can only move along with Yao Hai's body.

Sooner or later, Yao Hai moved forward to a certain distance, made a straight punch with his left hand, followed by an uppercut with his right hand.

As usual, the man wanted to block the straight punch that was rushing towards him, and was about to grab Yao Hai's arm, but unexpectedly, the straight punch turned out to be a feint, followed by an uppercut that was the real move.

With a sound of "Pa!", the man's chin was hit in a circle, and when he tilted his head, a spout of saliva was spit out and flew far away.

The man stepped back a few steps before standing still, wiped the corner of his mouth with his hand, and said a little unconvinced, "Come again."

Yao Hai rushed over immediately, received two palms on his chest, and kept attacking with his left and right fists.The target of the attack is always the man's cheeks.

After a while of sparring, the man's cheeks were swollen and the corners of his mouth were already bleeding, while Yao Hai was only hit twice on the body, but no injuries were seen.

This blow made the man furious, and he said angrily: "What kind of boxing technique are you doing? Why don't you follow the style?"

"My name is Wang Baquan, an old master who specializes in boxing." Yao Hai smiled slyly, thinking: The emperor said that the only thing that can't be broken in martial arts in the world is speed.Labor and management can throw four or five punches in the blink of an eye, how many moves can you make?Who pays attention to moves when fighting?

"Why are you scolding, you little bastard?" The man knew that Yao Hai was talking nonsense, so he scolded him in a different way.

"Come again if you don't accept it." Yao Hai didn't show weakness, he could see that although this guy was a Lianjiazi, he lacked actual combat experience.

"Okay, stop fighting. Liu Shaowu, beat the leader and ask you to bring him over." Just as the two were about to compete again, a man dressed as a scholar walked over from a distance, and gave Yao Hai a cold look. Then he ordered to the man.

It turned out that the man's name was Liu Shaowu, Yao Hai wrote it down and glanced at him by the way.

"What are you looking at? Tie it up." Liu Shaowu glared at Yao Hai, but still lost an eye cloth.

After entering their territory, Yao Hai naturally had to abide by their rules, and he and his subordinates blindfolded themselves.After that, he dragged a stick and was led for a while, and then began to descend the steps under his feet.

Yao Hai felt the air around him become cold, it was obvious that this place was an underground tunnel.After walking through a long and winding tunnel, and then there are steps, the air is hot again, which means that it has reached the ground.

The moment the blindfold was opened, Yao Hai saw a large courtyard made of bricks and tiles. In the middle of the courtyard stood a flagpole with a "chuang" flag floating on it.There is a cover under the flag, with four big characters "Walk for the sky" written on it.

"This is Yuyuan Village?" Yao Hai asked Liu Shaowu.

"Nonsense, good luck to you boy, the big boss wants to see you." Liu Shaowu looked at the flagpole and replied proudly, as if the words on the flagpole were his lifelong belief.

Yao Hai heaved a sigh of relief, this mission was half completed, at least he could meet the real leader of Yuyuan.

Chapter 2 Sixteen: The Elm Garden

In the late Wanli period, natural disasters and man-made disasters continued in Shandong, a large area of ​​cultivated land was abandoned, and the people were displaced everywhere looking for a place to stay. The elm garden, where "elm money falls to the ground, becomes a big tree for a long time", this place where a large number of peasant troops gathered, officially fell into Zhu Youjian's sight.

The peasant army in Yuyuan was not actually a Chuangjun army, but just hungry people under the banner of Chuangjun. They were headed by Ren Qi, Zhang Qi, and Liang Min and "gathered among them" in Yuyuan.This is a force that existed in history, and it is by no means Zhu Youjian's fiction.

Facing such a force of refugees, no one could afford to accept it unless the imperial court stepped forward.Li Zicheng was very powerful at the beginning, and he didn't care about this group of people. Later, Jin was busy chasing the Chuang army, so he didn't care about this hidden area.

When Zhu Youjian was in Shandong, he sent someone to contact them, but they refused.At that time, they used the banner of Li Zicheng, so naturally they refused to cooperate with Daming.Now that Li Zicheng is dead, and the Chuangjun has returned to Daming, it is time for Zhu Youjian to extend an olive branch to them again.

Where is Elm Garden?It is on the edge of Shuibo Liangshan.About fifty miles southwest from Shuibo Liangshan, you will enter Yuyuan.Here, there is a historical tradition of gathering crowds to oppose something.In Shandong, these people also have a nice name called "thieves".

There is not only one so-called big leader. In Yuyuan, there are many forces based on the village as a unit, and those who take the lead call themselves the "big leader".They are a loose alliance and have not yet formed a unity.

Any force, after annexing or uniting the surrounding forces and finally forming a whole, will definitely expand outward.The people in Yuyuan haven't affected their surroundings yet, which means they haven't come to this point yet.

"Who sent you here? What is the purpose of coming here?" Yao Hai entered the courtyard and came to a hall. In the middle of the hall sat a middle-aged man. The word "righteousness" obviously inherits the legacy of Liangshan.

"Excuse me, are you the chief of Yuyuan?" Yao Hai cupped his fists and performed a standard quack salute.

"That's right, I'm Liang Min, the chief of Yuyuan Village." Liang Min saw that Yao Hai was quite polite, and he made him look better, which made his face look better.

"Your Majesty is the commander of the personal guard of His Majesty Emperor Chongzhen of Ming Dynasty—Yao Hai. By the order of the emperor, I came to meet the chief."

"What, you're from Chongzhen?" Liang Min stood up abruptly when he heard that, his face full of horror.

You must know that Yuyuan has never really alarmed the Ming government.Now that the capital of Chongzhen was lost, but he sent someone to find it, obviously he was very surprised.

"What is Chongzhen going to do? Do you know that I am Chuangjun, the court's deadly enemy." Liang Min was actually a little afraid that the Ming government would stare at him. .

"The chief doesn't know that Li Zicheng is dead, and that all the ministries of the Chuangjun have surrendered to the Ming court?" Yao Hai smiled. It seems that the people here are a little closed, so they still use the banner of Chuangjun to explain that they Before going to the whole of the north, there is no team to break into the army.

"What are you talking about? Li Zicheng died, Chuang Jun surrendered?" Liang Min was even more horrified, this was the scariest news he had heard in recent months.At the beginning of the year, he only knew that Houjin captured Shanxi and Li Zicheng fled south.

"If the chief doesn't believe it, you can send someone to ask the other chiefs. Check it out." Seeing that Liang Min didn't believe it, Yao Hai wasn't in a hurry, anyway, since he was here, he couldn't run away.

Liang Min gave Liu Shaowu a wink, whispered a few words to that talented man, and then looked at Yao Hai fiercely.

"You must have killed King Chuang. You corrupt officials should all be killed." Obviously, people like Liang Min hated the government.
