Back To The Beginning Of Ming To Do Charity

The sun was shining and the sky was clear, and Lin Yuan sent Yang Zi'an to the edge of the woods. This time, Yang Zi'an went to Xinghua with only two people, and they had to pretend to be small merchants. Yang Zian also gave Yang Zian a sum of money that he didn't have much.

"Taking care of yourself is the most important thing." Lin Yuan held Yang Zian's hand tightly.

Every time someone goes out, his heart is always hanging in the air, falling there without going up or down.

No one knows what awaits them in the future.

Just because I was able to come back safely before, doesn’t mean I will be able to in the future.

Luck is the most uncertain thing.

Yang Zi'an also held Lin Yuan's hand back, and after a firm grip, he turned over and got into the bullock cart. Before leaving, he rushed to Lin Yuan and said, "A sword that doesn't see blood is not a good sword. A soldier who doesn't kill people is not a good soldier."

After Yang Zian walked away, Lin Yuan let out a sigh.

After a day of thinking, Lin Yuan called Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang is eating and living with those "soldiers" recently. Some people obey him, and some don't. This is all in Lin Yuan's expectation. People are complicated, and each has its own way of thinking. , is an individual.

"Now that the training is almost done, it's time to get serious." Lin Yuan said, "This time I will go with you and lead someone to find the bandits nearby."

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes seemed to be shining: "It should be so!"

Lin Yuan nodded: "We'll leave tomorrow morning, earlier."

"There is no need to eat breakfast." Lin Yuan said again.

Zhu Yuanzhang was taken aback for a moment, and said sadly: "It seems that I should eat more tonight."

Lin Yuan laughed twice, then separated from Zhu Yuanzhang and went back to their respective houses.

Although it is inhumane to go to war on an empty stomach, Lin Yuan felt it was better to be on the safe side when he was going to suppress bandits for the first time.

He forgot where he heard it. On the eve of a war, soldiers can't get enough to eat. Only at the celebration banquet can they be full. For their stomachs, soldiers have to fight desperately.

He wanted to try this method, but he was a little worried, so he just didn't give him a breakfast.

Lin Yuan didn't sleep well that night. He tossed and turned on the bed. His dream was full of fighting scenes. When Lin Yuan woke up in the morning, he saw the light coming in from the window and wiped his back, covered in cold sweat.

When he was fully dressed, walked out of the house, and left the half-built city wall, what he saw was the soldiers who had already lined up.

All of them are wearing rattan armor, holding weapons in their hands, holding their heads high and their chests high, everyone here knows what they are going to do today, but apart from a little fear, they are more excited, and they themselves Clearly, after training for so long, today is the time for testing.

What's more, they have rattan armor and weapons, and they are wearing thick-soled shoes made by women who stay up all night to rush to work. Walking on the road is like walking on clouds, and they don't have to worry about slippery feet.

Because there are no horses, they can only go on foot, and everyone carries a water bottle made of bamboo tube.

Food can only be obtained locally, and Lin Yuan also gnawed edible bark with them.

The wisdom of the ancient working people. They knew which trees had edible bark. When the bark was peeled off, there was a white layer attached to the bark. This layer was edible, although it had no taste, and one had to eat a lot to fill one's stomach. , but talking is better than nothing, with something in the mouth, people can have some comfort.

They walked for three days and three nights, and finally saw a stockade before sunset.

The exile bandits occupy the mountains as kings, do not listen to the orders of the court, make a living by robbing houses and robbing young men and women.

They'll let these young men join them in doing harm to their neighbors.

And women will be locked up by them. If they are beautiful and are favored by those with higher status, they can live better.

But if he looks average and is not liked, he will become a tool for bandits to vent their desires.

This day, Lin Yuan and the others did not act rashly, nor did they light a fire. They just observed the village from a hidden place. Although it was a bandit village, surprisingly, the division of labor was very clear. The torches and the stockade are built as sheds, but they are not simple. On the contrary, they are considered luxurious compared to ordinary houses.

The approximate number of people is around 300, which is considered a medium-sized village.

However, they didn't have many weapons. After a day of observation, they found no more than fifty people with knives, and more people were holding wooden sticks.

Lin Yuan discussed with Zhu Yuanzhang in a low voice: "We can only attack him by surprise."

They spent almost a week observing the stockade.

Every two days, a group of people from this village would go down the mountain, and when they came back, they would bring a lot of supplies, which seemed to be robbed from the homes of the common people, and sometimes they would bring women up the mountain.

There could be nearly two hundred people in this group, leaving more than 100 people to guard the village.

Now that there is no long-distance and precise communication method, if they attack these people while they are going down the mountain, the people in the village will have no way to notify the people who have already gone down the mountain.

"Ask 50 people to go around, and 50 people to rush forward." Lin Yuan drew the terrain on the ground with his fingers. His drawing was crude, but Zhu Yuanzhang could understand it, "Look, this is the largest house in their village. , the village master should live here."

"Although we can't confirm whether the owner of the village was in the village at that time, it is the fastest way to break in from here."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded to show that he knew, and he said: "I will lead people around."

Lin Yuan: "I'll lead people to charge forward. Once there is a noise from my side, you must hurry up."

Zhu Yuanzhang: "Understood."

Now Zhu Yuanzhang is still in the learning stage, and Lin Yuan himself is crossing the river by feeling the stones, but Lin Yuan has one advantage, that is, the knowledge he acquired in modern times.

One thing that modern people are better than ancient people is that modern people have received information from all directions since birth, and these are very precious wealth.

However, the ancients lacked these wealth. What is the speed of modern high-speed rail?What was the speed of the ancient carriage?

Lin Yuan thought bitterly that he was standing on the shoulders of giants.

After waiting for another two days, it finally came to the day when Lin Yuan decided to attack. He was giving a mobilization speech to the soldiers. He pointed to the stockade: "There is food, meat, and wine there. As long as you shoot it down, everything there will be full of gold." Yours, not only can you eat and drink enough, but you can also take it home to enjoy with your family and friends."

The soldiers' eyes widened.

Just as Lin Yuan said, they seemed to have smelled the smell of meat and wine.

Many people here have never drank alcohol in their entire lives.

Wine needs to be brewed from fine grains.

"There are still women in there." Lin Yuan said, "As long as you save them back, maybe next year you will be able to hug a big fat boy."

The eyes of the soldiers became even more fanatical.

What is the pursuit of the people at the bottom?To eat and drink enough, to have a daughter-in-law, to have a baby, this is the supreme pursuit.

At this time, someone asked: "Boss! Do you share one for each person?!"

Lin Yuan said angrily: "You thought you were buying something, and you still have one person? If they are rescued, they will be from the Zhuangzi. You are in the Zhuangzi every day, and you still don't have the confidence that you can capture the hearts of beauties?"

He didn't want his little team to be like those bandits.

Women are willing to marry and live with these big soldiers, and he agrees.

If they don't want to marry, he agrees. After all, women are also laborers, and they can also farm and make clothes. The more the better.

The soldiers had green lights in their eyes.

Now there are too few women in the village, and they still work separately, but since they started training, women often come to see them.

There will also be discussions about who looks more powerful and whose figure is more upright and imposing.

Among them, the one who is the most powerful and performs the best has already found a good friend in Zhuangzi.

It's not good to make the people around you jealous.

In short, under all kinds of temptations, these recruits were very excited.

It seems that a better life is in front of them, and if they win this village, they will be able to reach the pinnacle of life.

People who go down the mountain usually come back the next morning.

At night, Lin Yuan saw the people in the village going back to sleep one after another, so he and Zhu Yuanzhang split up and marched towards the village.

After training for so long, these recruits are still very obedient, among other things.

But combat skills can never be taught by teaching. In the era of cold weapons, fighting with people depends on experience.

They marched in the dark, but so many people would not be ignored by the watchmen on the lookout.

The man hurriedly shouted: "There is an enemy attack! There is an enemy attack! Get up!"

Lin Yuan had already rushed to the gate of the village with his people at this time. The gate of this village was very simple. After all, the bandits didn't have much resources for construction, and they were not talented in this field. They must be able to make out those houses in the village. A lot of work has been done.

Before breaking in, Lin Yuan yelled as usual: "Disarm and don't kill!"

The people inside also shouted: "Give your grandma a leg!"

Since the opponent was unwilling to surrender, he could only charge forward. Lin Yuan held a long knife in his hand and his hands were shaking, but he forced himself to calm down. He would go to the battlefield one day. To hide, he must have the ability to protect himself.

"Rush in!" Lin Yuan pointed to the gate of the village.

The obedience trained before showed its courage for the first time.

Just as Lin Yuan stretched out his finger, these people roared and rushed in without a second of hesitation.

It doesn't look like it's the first time they've experienced something like this.

Among these people, there are those who went to attack the coal yard with Zhu Yuanzhang and Brother Dao before. These people are the bravest. They have seen blood and are not afraid of blood. As long as they think of the good things they will get after winning, they are all excited .

Because of them, all the other people who didn't go last time were also motivated.

Lin Yuan also rushed in together.

Lin Yuan was also wearing rattan armor. He couldn't see what the person opposite him looked like, he could only see the approximate body shape. Holding a long knife in his hand, he slashed down hard, leaving nothing.

The other party has already bullied himself and slashed up.

Lin Yuan was stabbed, but fortunately, he was protected by rattan armor, except for the dull pain, his skin was not cut.

At the moment when the other party was surprised, Lin Yuan gritted his teeth and raised the knife. With his current strength, he could not fight recklessly with others, but could only use tricks. He squatted down slowly, and charged straight up when the other party rushed over again.

When Lin Yuan came back to his senses, the other party's neck had already been cut by him.

Lin Yuan didn't look at it again, holding the knife in his hand, he shouted at the other party again: "Disarm and don't kill!"

This time, no one answered him.

He could only hear the sound of metal colliding, and the slight sound of weapons piercing into flesh, Lin Yuan took a deep breath.

At this moment, a human voice came from behind the cottage, it was Zhu Yuanzhang's voice.

"kill!"

Countless words of killing came from their mouths, and the people on Lin Yuan's side were also infected, and they raised their knives and shouted.

The momentum is astonishing, obviously there are only 100 people, but they insist on calling out the momentum of 1000 people.

Sometimes, it's all about momentum.

Lin Yuan obviously felt that the person on the opposite side began to hesitate.

Once people's hearts are afraid, once they feel that they may die, their movements will become slow, and their minds will have more miscellaneous thoughts.

On the battlefield, slow movement will lead to death.

Lin Yuan shouted: "Rush over!"

As expected, the people on his side charged forward like they had been trained countless times, brave and savage like a bull.

Although protected by rattan armor, Lin Yuan was still injured. He felt the burning pain on his back, but he didn't touch it with his backhand. If he found that his back was full of blood, he might fall down before the enemy made a move. up.

It's okay, Lin Yuan said to himself, with rattan armor, even if he was injured, it would not be serious.

When the opponent was the last person to fall, Lin Yuan sat down on the ground. Because of the protection of the rattan armor, they won a big victory. Apart from a few serious injuries and more than 40 minor injuries, nearly 50 people were still intact. , not even a little injury.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked more energetic than Lin Yuan. He didn't have any scars on his body. There were knife marks on the rattan armor, but they were not serious. Obviously he didn't let the other party cut them down.

"Boss, on your back..." Zhu Yuanzhang pointed to Lin Yuan's back.

Lin Yuan turned around and asked Zhu Yuanzhang to take a look for himself: "Is the wound deep?"

Zhu Yuanzhang picked apart the cotton-padded clothes with a knife, and said with a smile: "It's not deep, it's shallow, it just scratches the skin, wait for me to find some herbs for you to apply."

Lin Yuan: "What herbs are there in winter?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned.

Lin Yuan sighed.

It can only be put on hold like this. If you are lucky, you will get better. If you are not lucky, you will die of tetanus.

Five to five.

They had to clean up the battlefield at night, and the bandits who went down the mountain would be back tomorrow morning.

All the soldiers lined up in the open space, Lin Yuan told them not to be rude to the women and children imprisoned by the bandits, and just focus on supplies.

In fact, such bandits are still very rich. There are a lot of tattered gold and silverware, and a few paintings, but the paintings are worthless at this time. The women are locked in a small room. There are more than 30 people. Few people were pregnant, their clothes were scanty, and the room was full of stench. When the door was opened, their expressions were still in a daze.

Even when the soldiers asked them to come out, they were all numb, stepping out one by one.

With the light of the fire, Lin Yuan could see these women clearly.

They were unkempt and almost all had scars on their bodies, some on their faces.

There were nearly twenty of them with big bellies, and they looked at Lin Yuan holding their bellies.

Lin Yuan could clearly see the confusion on their faces.

In ancient times, the emphasis was on innocence. They were basically born in ordinary families, and they received a clean education since childhood.

In many ancient biographies, after the woman was defiled, most of them were hanged.

But whether this is their own choice or the family's choice, it is not known.

"Find a clean room and bring them in first." Lin Yuan ordered Li Da next to him.

Li Da let out an "hey" and led the women to another room.

Now Lin Yuan finally began to look at the bandits who were tied up. These people were already scared. They were the only ones who killed people before, but now they have become meat on other people's chopping boards.

Someone begged for mercy: "Good man, good man, spare my life, I was forced by them, and I don't want to be a bandit, good man! I have an old man and a young man, a good man!"

Lin Yuan picked up a knife and put it on the beggar's neck. The begging man shivered, and his crotch was cold. Lin Yuan smelled a smell of urine, and the man was already scared to pee.

Then he put away the knife: "Let me ask you, how many people went down the mountain?"

The man quickly replied: "A hundred people."

"What are you going down the mountain for?" Lin Yuan asked again.

The man swallowed: "Go get food..."

Lin Yuan's knife cut a little skin on the man's neck.

So the man shouted again: "Hero! It's a robbery! They're going down to grab food!"

Lin Yuan: "When do you usually come back?"

"Sishi!"

Si time is from nine to eleven in the morning, Lin Yuan nodded.

Lin Yuan asked again: "Look around you, who kills the most? If you point it out, I will spare you."

The man who was tied up hurriedly yelled:

"Third son, you can't point fingers at random!"

"Sir, I gave you a piece of meat last year!"

"Third son!"

This man named Sanzi was dressed in simple clothes, and he was obviously not an important person at first glance, but it was also because of this that he hated the domineering people even more.

The third son closed and opened his eyes, Lin Yuan cut off the rope that bound him with a knife, and told him to recognize someone.

The third son looked around and saw that these people were all like him, with their lives on their hands. He walked towards the person furthest away from him. This person was wearing a cotton padded jacket and was tall and thick. He looked like a gangster at first glance. He said to Lin Yuan: "He It's our fourth master, he kills the most!"

"Is there any objection?" Lin Yuan asked the bandits.

No one spoke.

Lin Yuan said, "That's good."

As soon as the two words were pronounced, Lin Yuan raised his knife and dropped the knife, killing this man.

His strength was insufficient, and it took him two cuts to cut off the head.

"vomit--"

Several of the soldiers who watched this scene vomited out.

Lin Yuan closed his eyes when he struck, and almost threw up when he opened them. He took a deep breath, the tip of his nose was full of blood and urine smell, and several of them were scared to urinate.

Although this group of people had killed people, they hadn't beheaded them.

Especially watching the heads of those who used to be domineering over their heads be chopped off.

"I didn't beg for mercy." Lin Yuan sighed, "He's still a man, but it's a pity he took a detour."

The third son had already knelt down on the side.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the head indifferently, and said to Lin Yuan, "Boss, it's time for us to make arrangements."

Lin Yuan nodded, and he looked at the man named Sanzi again.

"Third son, stand up." He ordered.

Sanzi put his hands on the ground and got up from the ground.

Lin Yuan asked him, "Do you want to live?"

The third son nodded vigorously: "Think!"

He is now in tears.

Pointing a knife at someone and being held with a knife by someone are two completely different feelings.

Lin Yuan smiled at the third son. In the eyes of the third son, this man was like a Rakshasa who came out of the night.

The courage of the third son has been frightened to death.

This night, they were sorting out the things in the village and the food they hadn't finished eating.

I have to say that this village still has some grains, not only coarse grains, but also a lot of fine grains, and a lot of bacon.

There is even rice wine.

Lin Yuan asked someone to tie all these to the carts, and six carts were trapped—of course, they were from the village. They packed lightly on their own, not to mention the carts, and they didn't even bring their luggage.

"When dawn comes, we'll wipe out the rest of them, and you can eat with your stomach open." Lin Yuan shouted loudly.

Everyone yelled like crazy.

"Their heads must be taken!"

"Kill them!"

"Eat enough!"

Those who were seriously injured were placed in the room. Lin Yuan asked someone to wash their wounds and wrapped them with clean cloths. As for himself—the wound was too shallow and did not bleed much. After washing, the cloth strips are not tangled.

Those who went down the mountain came back at this time, they must have been traveling all night, longing to go back to the village to have a good meal and then sleep, the spirit is the most relaxed time.

Lin Yuan and Zhu Yuanzhang kept ten people here, telling them to keep an eye on the bound man, and take the rest to lay an ambush and kill him by surprise.

The third son was also brought along, after all, he knew better where the people in the village would go up the mountain.

"If they don't come, I will kill you." Lin Yuan lowered his voice and said to the third son beside him, "If you expose us, I can kill you too."

The third son shivered, like the crumbling leaves on the treetops in autumn.

Finally, there was a movement in his ear, and Lin Yuan looked at Zhu Yuanzhang in surprise, and Zhu Yuanzhang had exactly the same expression as Lin Yuan.

These bandits actually have horses!

The third son whispered, "Yes, there are five horses..."

Now is no time to ask where these horses come from, they are horses!

Lin Yuan made a gesture, and then swung it down fiercely.

His soldiers rushed out like hungry tigers.

Lin Yuan also rushed out.

After all, he is a man, and he eats and drinks well, is not hungry, has the physical strength to keep up, and will not be held back.

What is carried on the horse's back is not people, but food!

This is simply great news.

After being caught, the horses began to bark in panic, and the bandits behind the horses were caught off guard, but they also reacted quickly and took up weapons.

It's just that at this time, he was already overworked and slack off the bandits. How could he beat the Lin Jiabing who had been waiting all night and only wanted to eat?

"Who is here?!" Someone in the bandits roared.

Lin Yuan also shouted: "The one who took your life!"
