First Minister of Ming Dynasty

At this moment, Chang Yuchun was holding a shield picked up from the boat, standing on the bow of the boat, full of pride.

"You guys are good guys, Master Chang will bring you a fortune!" Chang Yuchun asked without looking back, "That kid, what's your name, why are you so bold?"

The young man blushed, "My name is Wang Bi! I don't want to be rich, I just want to be a soldier!"

"A soldier?"

"Well! Be a soldier of the superior! A month ago, I fled from famine to Hezhou with my mother on my back. The superior really gave me and my mother [-] acres of land. As long as I can be a soldier under the superior, I can still get The five-acre ration field, my family's field has been cultivated, so my mother doesn't have to suffer."

A young man in his twenties, when he said this, there was uncontrollable joy in his voice.

He doesn't want to be rich, and he doesn't know what great wealth is.

What he wanted was to become a full-fledged soldier, get an extra ration field, and have someone to plow the fields for their family... He had seen all these with his own eyes.

After becoming a high-ranking soldier, he and his mother can live a good life!

Standing at the bow of the boat, Chang Yuchun wanted to laugh at Wang Bi's worthlessness, but in an instant he was stunned again and didn't say anything.

Why those militiamen didn't run away from the Yuan army? One Wang Bi's thoughts may be humble, but a hundred, a thousand, 1, are they still humble?

Why do you want to take refuge in Zhu Yuanzhang?

It's not that this man has brought hope to thousands of people!

Chang Yuchun's heart was shaken, he seemed to understand something, but at this moment, they were not far away from the big ship of Yuan Army Qianhu.

A swishing bow and arrow came, and Chang Yuchun hurriedly waved the shield in his hand, not only protecting himself, but also protecting Wang Bi and other militiamen.

Their boat was small and not slow, and they were getting closer and closer to the Yuan army's big boat. The arrows from the boat couldn't stop Chang Yuchun.

"My lord, what is he going to do?" Zhang Ximeng asked on horseback in surprise.

Old Zhu was slightly taken aback, and then said: "Perhaps they want to seize the Yuan army's ship!"

"Then, can that work?"

Old Zhu smiled wryly, "We don't know either!"

Zhang Ximeng rolled his eyes, and suddenly said, "Quick, beat the drum!"

Lao Zhu also reacted, "Yes, beat the drums to cheer!"

Boom!

Boom!

dong dong dong...

The mighty war drum sounded, and through the river, it reached Chang Yuchun's ears.

He shook his head, Wang Bi and others were also encouraged, and the speed of the boat was much faster. A militiaman was shot in the shoulder, and his arm was stained red with blood, but he continued to row the boat without paying attention.

The big Yuan army ship in front ran in a hurry, leaving half of the sailors behind, and couldn't get up any faster.

Finally the two ships approached, the Yuan army's big ship was much larger than Chang Yuchun's, and the deck was almost five feet higher.

But this difference was nothing to Chang Yuchun, he saw the opportunity, jumped onto the Yuan army's ship, threw away the long spear in his hand, his momentum was unstoppable.

On the narrow deck, the Yuan army couldn't use it, and most of them were far inferior to Chang Yuchun in water skills, and they were killed by him in pieces.

That Yuan army Qianhu could only retreat at one end, his eyes were red with anxiety, and his subordinates rushed up.

"Give it to me! Kill this thief! Kill him and reward him with 100 taels of silver!"

Wang Bi, who had sent Chang Yuchun onto the big ship at this moment, saw the fierce battle and felt anxious. After thinking about it, he came up with a solution.

He and several militiamen worked hard to drive the small boat to the other side of the big boat, and the Yuan army Qianhu was still commanding the battle.

Wang Bi picked up the bow on the boat. He had also practiced it. According to the Yuan army, a thousand households is an arrow.

Coincidentally, he was shot.

Although it is not fatal, it still takes Qianhu's courage.

Then Wang Bi pushed the boat again and slammed into the Yuan army's boat.

Regardless of the large size of the Yuan army's ship, in order to deal with Chang Yuchun, more than a dozen sailors went up, and the ship almost stopped on the river. After being hit by Wang Bi, several Yuan troops could not stand still and fell directly into the river.

Yuan Jun Qianhu is also crazy, what is going on with him?

All you meet are desperate lunatics!

He couldn't figure it out, where did these red thieves have such courage?

One by one, I didn't kill your whole family, so why risk your life like this?

At this moment, Chang Yuchun took the opportunity to kill another three or four Yuan soldiers, only a few steps away from the Yuan army's thousand households.

"Kneel down and surrender!"

Accompanied by a roar of thunder, Yuan Jun Qianhu actually fell to the ground.

"Don't, don't kill me, I surrender!"

Chapter 100 No Gambling in the Military

With the sound of drums and loud cheers, Chang Yuchun escorted the Yuan army Qianhu, together with the captured warships, back to the river bank.Wang Bi and others were behind, also enjoying the cheers, blushing like drunk, not knowing which leg to take.

At this time Zhang Ximeng also accompanied Zhu Yuanzhang to greet him.

Chang Yuchun is vigorous and strong, with a big black face, he is not the same as Hu Dahai, Hu Dahai is just like a black pot, Chang Yuchun is black and bright, besides being brave and domineering, there is also a trace of cunning and fierceness cruel.

Zhang Ximeng couldn't help but praised: "My lord, I got another strong general!"

Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to be thinking of Chang Yuchun, so he frowned.

"Being brave is being brave! But you are not an honest person."

Zhang Ximeng was puzzled, "My lord knows him?"

"Why don't you know each other! This person came to see us, saying that the Golden Armored God General asked him to come, and bullied us for not studying enough, so he can't even hear such nonsense?"

Only then did Zhang Ximeng understand that it turned out that Lao Zhu's realm had improved, and the ordinary theory of gods and ghosts could not deceive him.I don't know if the person in front of me is unlucky, or if I have taught it myself?

He could only shake his head, at this moment Chang Yuchun had already rushed over, he touched the ground on one knee, "Caomin Chang Yuchun, greeting the superior!"

His voice was so loud that Zhang Ximeng could hear it clearly. Even if his voice was a little softer, the words Chang Yuchun would still ring like thunder!

He is the number one under Lao Zhu in the future, often one hundred thousand?

Be nice!

Look at his momentum to seize the ship, his indomitable courage, invincible bravery, who is it not Chang Yuchun!

It's just that Lao Zhu doesn't have a good impression of him!Said he was dishonest and made up stories to deceive Lao Zhu?Zhang Ximeng also couldn't laugh or cry, he never expected that he was good at teaching and almost missed a champion.

Since he ran into him, Chang Yuchun naturally couldn't run away.

By the way, I don't know if Chang Yuchun is married or not. Sapphire shouldn't be old, right?where is he

Zhang Ximeng couldn't help but his thoughts were flying... Everyone knew that Lao Zhu had a group of unparalleled warriors under his command. In thousands of years of history, they were a group of ruthless people that could be counted.

These people are called Huaixi nobles!

They concluded marriages with each other and formed a huge honorable group.

It seems to be true to say so, but I can't stand to get to the bottom of it.

Take Chang Yuchun as an example, he is not from Lao Zhu's hometown, and he joined Lao Zhu relatively late, so he is not the same as Xu Da and others. Lan Yu, who inherited Chang Yuchun's mantle, is naturally not an out-and-out Huaixi The old man... can only say that the most complicated thing in this world is people. Huaixi Xungui is a big circle, and in this big circle, there are many circles.

Zheng'er Bajing has the longest time with Lao Zhu and the ones with the deepest relationship are Tang He and Xu Da.What's interesting is that Xu Da's daughter married Zhu Di, the fourth child, while Chang Yuchun's daughter became a princess.

The reason why Lao Zhu arranged it like this is quite meaningful.

It can only be said that the prince Zhu Biao, Zhong Lingyuxiu, who most people think of, is naturally supported by the Xungui Group, it seems that it is not so simple...

Zhang Ximeng didn't have the mind to think about messy things, he was more concerned about what Chang Yuchun was thinking, why did he have to make Lao Zhu unhappy?

"You killed the enemy and seized the ship very bravely. How about we allow you to join the army as a cavalry?" Zhu Yuanzhang's voice was cold and not so happy.

Chang Yuchun didn't even complain, instead, he thanked him for his kindness.

"Thank you for taking me in, I am willing to die for my superior!"

Zhu Yuanzhang has always treated his subordinates with clear rewards and punishments. There is no doubt that Chang Yuchun has made such a great contribution, but it is very unusual for him to be allowed to join the army as a small soldier.

It's not normal for Chang Yuchun to agree so painfully.

Zhang Ximeng checked his words and found that Lao Zhu was a little bit taken aback, as if Chang Yuchun's performance had surprised him too.Zhang Ximeng said, "Chang Yuchun, my lord doesn't have many cavalry at the moment, so they are all brave and skilled fighters. You just took the ship to kill the enemy and captured the Yuan army, so you deserve it. A person like you, Why are you willing to take refuge in the lord, but what is the reason, can you tell me?"

Zhang Ximeng gave Chang Yuchun a chance to redeem Lao Zhu's opinion.

Don't underestimate these light words, Chang Yuchun has been grateful to Zhang Ximeng for a lifetime.

After hearing this, he hurriedly fell to his knees.

"Please forgive me... I am not a peaceful citizen. I am from Huaiyuan. Later, I became a robber and moved to Hezhou. Some time ago, Liu Ju wanted to escape to Luzhou, but I didn't want to follow him. The common people want to seek refuge with the Ming Lord. There was a little friction between Beizhi and Liu Ju... I, I killed Liu Ju!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he snorted heavily, you call killing a small friction?For you, what counts as a big deal?In the end, Lao Zhu didn't speak, but Chang Yuchun continued to tell.

"After Beizhi killed Liu Ju, more than 1000 people in the village wanted to support him as the new village owner. But Beizhi thought, since he had already killed Liu Ju in order to take refuge in the Ming Lord and take off his thief's skin, if he continued to be the village owner , Didn’t you eat the grass of turning back?”

"Humble position let those people stay in the cottage, and then come to seek refuge with the superior alone. The humble position, the humble position is smart, and if you want to be promoted by the superior, you can recruit those old brothers, so, therefore..."

Chang Yuchun gritted his teeth, turned his head, and just smashed the jar!

"That's why I thought about using some kind of golden armored general to raise my self-worth. I know I'm wrong. Please forgive me!"

After Chang Yuchun finished speaking, he fell on the ground, and after a while, Old Zhu let out a long breath.

"To be capable is to have ability, how much ability you have, how great an official you are, how much meritorious deeds you have achieved, and how high you are promoted. We can't say that rewards and punishments are clear, but we are not blind. What kind of generals are you talking about? If there is no truth If you are capable, we send you to fight, and if you lose your life, what should we do? The military is the most solid place, so it’s worth it, understand?"

"Understand! Understood!"

Chang Yuchun hurriedly kowtowed, "Thank you for the lesson from the superior, I have written down all the humble positions! I have written it down!"

So far, the misunderstanding has finally been resolved.

Although Chang Yuchun played tricks, he didn't have too much malice, nor did he intend to deceive Lao Zhu.It's just thinking about finding a place for the brothers to settle down as soon as possible.

In fact, if this kind of method is used on others, it is estimated that it will succeed long ago, but Lao Zhu is influenced by Zhang Ximeng, so he can't see this kind of strange power.

Chang Yuchun had learned the lesson and was completely honest.

After figuring out the situation, Zhang Ximeng smiled and said, "My lord, Chang Yuchun was born as a bandit. Being able to take the initiative to join him can be regarded as a person who is in tune with others, understands the current affairs, and understands the general situation. The task of suppressing bandits in Hezhou is still severe. It is better to let Chang Yuchun Is it a credit to call those bandits here?"

Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "Yes, but in the military camp, the most important military discipline, not all crooked melons and jujubes can come in! Also, if these bandits have killed civilians many times, cruel and tyrannical, no Those who do personnel affairs, not only cannot be included in the army, but also have to be executed on the spot, do you understand?"

"Understood!" Chang Yuchun simply replied: "Please rest assured, the superior will definitely bring a clean team back!"

Chang Yuchun got up, got on his horse excitedly, and went to collect the old troops.

As Zhu Yuanzhang said, Zhu's army is very cautious about bandits.

Bandits and bandits are everywhere now. It is unrealistic for you to say that bandits and bandits are not accepted.

But you can't accept all bandits.

For example, a group of bandits attacked Zhu's army and killed Zhu's soldiers, what should we do?

In a word, kill him!

The culprit must be caught and disposed of cleanly.

The reason is very simple, you have to maintain your own morale, kill your people, and confess the enemy, isn't that nonsense?

Therefore, it is absolutely reasonable for the leader to avenge the monk. Not only will he not be criticized, but even his superiors will agree. It is absolutely impossible for a few bandits to lose even principles.

Of course, if someone kills you alone, you have to kill the whole family, or even hundreds of people, and take your anger out on the innocent, that would be too much.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, only the chief culprit is punished, and the other ones who have done the most heinous crimes alone cannot be let go.

Ordinary bandits can be absorbed, but there is a prerequisite, that is, they must receive complete training, and even special assessments. Only after they pass all the tests can they be formally incorporated into the army and become a trustworthy soldier.

However, there is not so much to say about Wang Bi's innocent background. After learning about the battle, Lao Zhu immediately granted Wang Bi the position of Xiaoqi, and even said that he would go to his house to see if the old mother needed anything. .

Immediately, Wang Bi burst into tears of gratitude and officially became a member of Zhu's army.

Chang Yuchun had only been away for seven days, and more than 700 people followed him back.

As mentioned earlier, they were not incorporated into the army immediately, but were arranged in a temporary military camp outside Hezhou City.

In any case, it is a wish fulfilled.

"I have lived up to the trust of the big guys, and I have found a good way out for you. Ma Dadao, pour me some wine, and let's get drunk."
