The room goes through the late Ming Dynasty, and the back door leads to North America at the beginni

Xiaoli Village.

Li Changwen locked the courtyard door himself, tightened the baggage on his shoulders, and smiled at his daughter: "Don't look at it, there will be plenty of opportunities to come back in the future."

Li Lingfei looked at the small courtyard where she had lived for more than ten years and was still reluctant to leave.

"Dad, do we really want to join the rebels?"

Li Lingfei will be fifteen years old after the Chinese New Year. After enlightenment at the age of five, she has been studying with Li Changwen.

In addition to some must-read books for women in the Ming Dynasty, such as "Female Commandments", "Inner Training", "The Analects of Confucius", "Female Filial Piety", etc., she also read through Li Changwen's other books.

These books are mainly based on the Four Books and Five Classics and related essences.

Therefore, although Li Lingfei was young, she was greatly influenced by Confucianism because she did not go out much.

I always felt that it was not good to join the so-called rebel army.

If this matter had not been decided by Li Changwen, and the harm done by officers and soldiers to Xiaoli Village that day had made her see the darkness of the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid she would not have used the term "rebel" to Liu Sheng and others.

Li Changwen motioned to a pair of old servants at home to lead the mules ahead.

Then he replied: "Lingfei, you have doubts about your father's choice because you have too little knowledge. When you see more of the outside world, you will know why my father joined the rebels.

In addition, the rebel camp is a novel place. I believe you will like it after going there. "

Li Changwen's words successfully aroused Li Lingfei's curiosity about the "Rebel Camp", and she became less reluctant to leave the small courtyard.

After leaving, Li Changwen didn't know how long he would stay in North America.

Although Xiaoli Village was quite close, he certainly couldn't always trouble Liu Sheng to escort him in and out.

Therefore, when he went back this time, he leased all the fields to the villagers for farming, and he took his daughter, a pair of old servants, and a mule to move to Huachu Camp.

Knowing Liu Sheng's itinerary for the afternoon, he first went to Dashui Pingzhai to meet Liu Sheng, and also visited the second-in-command in the rebel army, the Red Lady.

"Li Changwen paid a visit to the leader and met Commander Hong."

In the original 100-house government office in the Walled City, Li Changwen met Liu Sheng and the Red Lady, and greeted them formally.

Although the Red Lady is no longer the leader of the rebel army, it can be seen that the rebel army is still very happy to have scholars actively surrender.

Even a little overwhelmed at this point.

"Mr. Li, there is no need to be polite to me. Please sit down quickly."

Liu Sheng also smiled and said: "Mr. Li, please sit down and let's talk - the red lady is full of praise for the plan you came up with this morning."

Then, the three of them chatted freely in the hall about various aspects of the rebel army.

Li Lingfei stood behind Li Changwen, looking at Liu Sheng for a while and then at the red lady, feeling that her world view had been greatly impacted.

Although she had heard some stories about strange women, this was the first time she had actually seen someone like the Red Lady.

He was abducted by human traffickers when he was a child, but was rescued by an acrobatic class leader, adopted and taught him skills, and became a rope acrobat.

Then there was a sudden meeting, and she rebelled and killed officials and became the female leader of the rebel army. She led hundreds of thousands of people to rush across the state and county, killing the rich and helping the poor!

It’s incredible to think about.

Liu Sheng, the leader of the rebel army, was also different from what she had imagined.

Not to mention he is tall and powerful, but his conversational skills and knowledge can make even his father admire him. It is really rare.

No wonder people like this rebelled so hard that the officers and soldiers abandoned their armor and were completely defeated.

···

After Li Changwen arrived at Dashui Ping Village, he chatted with Liu Sheng and Hong Niangzi for nearly half an hour, and then visited Dashui Ping Village together.

Li Changwen has not been here since the rebels took control of Dashui Pingzhai.

He had always heard the people in the village say how good the village had become, and he didn't quite believe it at first. But when he saw it today, he realized that what the villagers said was not exaggerated at all.

First of all, the streets of the Walled City are much cleaner than before, and the roads have also been repaired.

The ditches in the fields are also well repaired. Just a heavy rain can make the village inside and outside full of vitality.

The most important thing is that the spirit of the people in the village has obviously improved a lot than before.

Looking at it gives people a feeling of having a head start in life.

At the end of the tour, he asked around and found out that although Liu Sheng drafted various government orders, it was the Red Lady who implemented them.

I couldn't help but have a higher opinion of Red Lady, the former female leader of the rebel army.

On the mountain road back to Liujiazhai, Li Changwen couldn't help but approach Liu Sheng and whispered something like this.

"The Red Lady is a strange woman. I'm afraid she can do great things even without meeting the leader."

Liu Sheng smiled and said: "Sir, you have such good eyesight, you could even be a fortune teller."

"The leader is joking." Li Changwen said modestly at first, and then changed his words: "But after all, she is the former leader of the rebel army, and being too capable is not a good thing.

I heard the leader say before that after the army expansion, there will be two battalion commanders and one adjutant, who are all sworn brothers of the Red Lady? "

"That's right." Liu Sheng nodded, "Yan Yuanshan, the logistics manager of several major camps in North America, was once a confidant of the Red Lady."

"The leader is really big-hearted." Li Changwen sighed a little yinly at first, and then said: "The Red Lady is a woman after all. Has the leader ever thought about the impact that one day she will have if she marries someone else?"

Liu Sheng glanced at Li Changwen and said with a smile, "Maybe the influence is not very good."

"Since the leader knows, he should have made plans in advance."

"What do you think I should do, sir?"

Li Changwen stopped, looked at Liu Sheng and said, "Since the leader hasn't married yet, why not just marry the red lady?

In this way, the rebel army will become monolithic, and there will no longer be any worries of division - at least in the early stage. "

"Hahaha," Liu Shengchang laughed, "My husband also said that he is not worthy of being a fortune teller, but you actually made me say all the plans I had in mind."

Li Changwen was slightly surprised.

Then it dawned on him that with Liu Sheng's intelligence and determination, it was normal for him to think of marrying a matchmaker to completely stabilize the rebel army.

Then he said: "Since the leader has this plan, please take action early to avoid accidents."

Liu Sheng said: "I've been busy, haven't I? Wait a minute. When everyone is free around the Chinese New Year, I can ask your husband to help me place the betrothal gift. How about that?"

"This is my honor!"

···

He left the matter of recruiting local warriors to assist in transporting grain to the Red Lady, and Liu Sheng stopped taking care of it.

However, the matchmaker would still report the progress of the matter to him through the walkie-talkie every night.

Generally speaking, the villages are quite cooperative.

After all, it had been swept away by the rebels once before. Not long ago, the rebels defeated more than 3,000 official troops, which greatly frightened the gentry, landlords and even ordinary people.

In addition, after all, the rebels were recruited and paid with food. Although they only had one fight, it was much better than the government forcibly recruiting local warriors.

If forced by the government, not only will they not be paid, but they will also have to provide their own food rations. If he died, he wouldn't even get a pension, which would be very miserable.

Under such circumstances, after asking Liu Sheng for instructions, the Red Lady simply recruited a thousand rural warriors and rented many two-wheelers, wheelbarrows, mules and horses.
