After the meeting ended, Zhu Hongsan returned to the inner house to prepare for the big battle with the twins. Unexpectedly, I was stopped by my daughter halfway.

Zhu Hongsan saw his daughter and asked, "Is there something wrong with my baby daughter?" ”

Zhu Luo pulled Zhu Hongsan and whispered, "Dad, did those two fox spirits sue you?" ”

Zhu Hongsan said: "What a fox spirit." Called Sanniang and Siniang. They're saying you're naughty. ”

Zhu Luo scolded: "These two vixens, I just whipped them two times and beat me a little report." Dad, you won't tell your mother that I'm naughty when you go home, right? ”

Zhu Hongsan smiled and said: "Haha, my little overlord still has people who are afraid, aren't you not afraid of heaven and earth?" ”

Zhu Luo said: "I'm afraid of my mother, I know that my father wants to beat me to scare me, but my mother is really beating." ”

Zhu Hongsan smiled and said, "Okay, I won't tell your mother when I go home." ”

"Then you talk to those two vixens, and don't let them talk too much."

Zhu Hongsan smiled and said, "Daughter, I'll teach you a trick, it's more effective than this." Let the wicked sue first. ”

Zhu Luo shook Zhu Hongsan's hand and said, "Dad, teach me quickly." ”

Zhu Hongsan touched Zhu Luo's head and said, "When you go back, you first find your mother to sue them, saying that they hate you and look at you unpleasantly." ”

Zhu Luo said: "That's it? What if they want to tell their mother that I'm naughty? ”

Zhu Hongsan said: "Because you told your mother first, this is called preconceived." If they say bad things about you, your mother will think that they really hate you and make up bad things about you. Know if you're not a stupid girl? ”

Zhu Luo nodded and said happily: "It's still Daddy's cunning." ”

Zhu Hongsan scolded: "What an old treacherous and cunning, I used the wrong idiom, my father called Dazhi Ruoyu." ”

Zhu Luo said: "There is another thing, I also want to lead thousands of troops like my father, can I give me an army when I go back." ”

Zhu Hongsan smiled and said, "What kind of army do you want for this girl, so be it." I think your group of children is good, go back and get you enough 100 people, make a boy camp, and you should be in charge." ”

Zhu Luoxi said: "Thank you Daddy, only Daddy is good in the world." ”

Zhu Hongsan scolded: "Don't sing this song, you learned it from the fat man." His father was the one who sang the stroke. Alright, all the conditions are met for you, go back to sleep. ”

Zhu Luo led Yahuan back to sleep without mentioning it.

Zhu Hongsan also went back to find Dong Zhen and Dong Huan to live the days of breeding pigs.

The fifth day, the first day of September. That is, the day when Zhu Hongsan led the troops to set off. It's been four months since I came out, and I don't know how my family is doing. Zhu Hongsan is now like an arrow.

After breakfast in the morning, the team set off. Nothing else. It was the Dong family twins who looked at the home where they had lived for fifteen years and wept secretly. Zhu Hongsan comforted them and said: "What are you crying about, you are a concubine, even if your father is alive, he will give you a favor." Maybe the two of you will marry the old man as a filler. It's like now that your sisters are together, your mother is also by your side, plus my lord and I are strong, and I make you die and come back to life every night, how good is this, don't be dissatisfied. ”

Dong Zhen said: "I don't know if the eldest lady has a good temper, can our sisters enter the house?" "In this era, being a concubine is a little stronger than Yahuan, and sometimes it is not as good as Yahuan. Yahuan can still find a tenant to be a wife when she is old, and it is possible for a concubine to make her wife unhappy and sell it, and it is useless to have a child. Xu Wei Xu Wenchang is like this, his mother was sold by his mother-in-law, and he doesn't know whether he lives or dies.

Seeing that the two concubines were worried here, Zhu Hongsan smiled and said, "Don't worry, little beauty, my lord and I will say everything at home." The yellow-faced woman wants to make the master unhappy and let you be a wife. ”

Dong Zhen and Dong Huan still don't know Zhu Hongsan's braggaking character, and he thinks that what he said is true, and he can't help but be secretly happy.

The fat man on the side thought to himself: "These two stupid girls still don't know that Zhu Hongsan was chased by Ma Xiaofang to the." But I didn't dare to say it, Zhu Hong, Sanma and Xiaofang couldn't afford to offend.

Zhu Hongsan caught up with Tong Yangjia in front of him and said, "Mr. let your concubine accompany her two daughters, there is someone to chat with after a long journey." ”

Tong Yangjia went back to inform himself that the concubine did not mention it.

A group of 1,500 people and dozens of carts, the team was five miles long, leaving Dongjiawu Fort and returning to Huguang. Along the way, Tong Yangjia was really right, the road was safe a few days ago, and half of the living people on the official road couldn't see it. There are a lot of dead people.

On the sixteenth day after leaving Dongjiawu Fort, the team came to Xingsha Pass, which is also the boundary between Huguang and Henan. The place was still the same, but after a summer the dead bodies had turned to white bones, scattered across the passes and hillsides, and glittered from a distance.

The daughter of the Dong family has seen so many dead people, although they have turned into white bones, but this is also quite scary. The curtain of the woman's car was lowered. Zhu Hongsan also knew that they were afraid, and ordered the team to speed up and pass through the Xingsha Pass.

After passing the apricot shade pass, enter the boundary of the lake and the wide. It's not like Henan is bleak. The mountains are also green, and pedestrians can be seen on the official roads. However, when they saw Zhu Hongsan, their team avoided from a distance. Wait for Zhu Hongsan and them to pass by before they dare to come out and continue to hurry.

There is no Huguang Liukou, but the officers and soldiers have encountered it a few times. These guys are worse than the rogues. Seeing that the caravan is less crowded, it is directly slaughtered, and if there are many people, it is extortion. When I arrived in Xiaogan, I encountered a gang of blackmailers. Ma Jiyuan wanted to convince people with virtue at the beginning, so he went up to report that it was Huguang Ma's family. Unexpectedly, Qianhu who led the team didn't pay attention to him at all and gave him a mouthful. Ma Ji came back angrily and scolded the country.

Zhu Hongsan knew that Ma Jiyuan was going to suffer a loss at the beginning, and then he came up and said with a smile: "How is the eldest brother?" Didn't you tell him about benevolence, righteousness and morality? Didn't move him to weep bitterly, and vowed to put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot? ”

Ma Jiyuan said angrily: "You can come, I see what you should do?" ”

Zhu Hongsan said: "Simple. He said to Zhou Yu: "Take people up and kill more than 200 of them." ”

Zhou Yu led the order to lead people forward, and after a while, there was a cry and begging for mercy in front of him. Ten minutes later, the voice stopped, and Zhou Yu came back to give the order, saying, "All two hundred and twenty-four people were killed, and ten war horses were captured." ”

Zhu Hongsan said with a smile: "I wanted to get some silver, but I didn't expect it to become a gift of silver." Yes, ten war horses also have a thousand taels of silver in Huguang. ”

Ma Jiyuan's face changed, and he said to Zhu Hongsan: "The way you said is to kill them all?" ”

Zhu Hongsan said: "Yes, your preaching is not good, so my swords and guns are good." I have a bodhisattva heart for those who listen to me, and I treat my enemies like thunderbolts. After Zhu Hongsan finished speaking, he thought that Ma Jiyuan could get angry and scold himself again. Unexpectedly, Ma Jiyuan didn't say anything, just lowered his head and thought about it and then said: "What you said is not necessarily wrong, this country should change when it becomes like this, maybe your methods can work." ”

Zhu Hongsan was stunned, he always thought that Ma Jiyuan was a conservative. just thought that he could rely on books to educate the world, but he didn't expect that there was a pragmatic side, which really impressed Zhu Hongsan.

On the road in the future, Zhu Hongsan and Ma Jiyuan often discussed problems. Zhu Hongsan found that Ma Jiyuan was just upright, but not pedantic. He hated Zhu Hongsan's shameless methods, but he thought it was okay to use some obscene methods in times of national crisis.

At the same time, Ma Jiyuan also found that Zhu Hongsan was not vulgar and unliterate as he thought before, and he still had something in his heart. As far as Zhu Hongsan said that Zhang Juzheng's reform was the cause of the current situation in the Ming Dynasty, Ma Jiyuan was impressed. Ma Jiyuan has been a magistrate for ten years, and he has worked as a county magistrate, Tongzhi, and Zhizhou, so he naturally knows some simple economic theories. At this time, Ma Jiyuan completely believed what his younger brother Ma Mingyuan said to himself, this brother-in-law is wise and foolish.

Along the way, the relationship between Zhu Hongsan and Ma Jiyuan has changed rapidly, in the past, Zhu Hongsan was either called eldest brother or father-in-law, but later Zhu Hongsan saw Ma Jiyuan respectfully called Mr.

Ma Jiyuan is also more and more optimistic about Zhu Hongsan, thinking that Zhu Hongsan is the clan, otherwise he can test his fame with his intelligence. Ma Jiyuan's title has also changed from the former little bastard, brother-in-law to the current virtuous brother.

Seeing that the two of them were in a good honey oil blending, someone on the side was anxious to die, it was Tong Yangjia. Tong Yangjia originally thought that Zhu Hongsan was the second strategist, but he didn't expect another Ma Jiyuan to come out, so he couldn't make the third (Tong Yangjia didn't know that the Ma family also had a Feng Ziyong). Tong Yangjia looked at the concubine Sun in the car behind, it seems that he has to work hard to have a son, and he must be tied to Zhu Hongsan, so that his rights will not shrink.

On the way back, I didn't cross the Yangtze River by Hanyang, after all, I killed the inspection department guarding the ferry when I came. It's hard to explain. From Xiaogan to Huangpi, across the Yangtze River opposite Wuchang Mansion.

Ma Jiyuan stood on the edge of the Yangtze River and looked at Wuchang City, he hadn't been home for ten years.

Zhu Hongsan looked at the rolling Yangtze River, and felt a feeling for a while, and sang the song in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms TV series. Ma Jiyuan listened to it on the side and praised: "Brother Xian, this song of Yang Shen's Linjiang Immortal is very imposing. ”

Zhu Hongsan said: "Back then, Yang Shen said, "The country has been raising soldiers for 150 years, and the war is dead and righteous, and it is today." It is the spirit of the reader. I don't know if Mr. has the temperament that Yang Sheng'an regarded death as home? ”

Ma Jiyuan scolded with a smile: "Don't provoke me, you guy, say something quickly." ”

Zhu Hongsan looked around, there was no one else. said to Ma Jiyuan: "Now that the country is like this, the emperor has done nothing, and I think King Yan has run out of luck." The younger brother has no talent, and he wants to support the Ming Room, so that Taizu's country will not die to foreigners, and he doesn't want the land of China to reproduce the bloody flesh everywhere three hundred years ago. I want to ask my husband to help me, but I wonder if he can agree? ”

In fact, Ma Jiyuan thought about this problem on the road, and he is not a pedantic person. Seeing that the army trained by Zhu Hongsan is so elite, plus Zhu Hongsan has the appearance of Han Gaozu and Ming Taizu (what is mine is mine, and yours is also mine). I already knew Zhu Hongsan's plan in my heart, and Zhu Hongsan had the grace to save his whole family.

Ma Jiyuan thought for a while and said: "Jiyuan is mediocre in intelligence and does nothing. Brother Dexian values it so much, Jiyuan is willing to serve the work of dogs and horses. Ma Jiyuan visited the lord. After speaking, he bowed deeply to Zhu Hongsan.

Zhu Hong smiled, helped Ma Jiyuan and said, "With Mr.'s help, the great cause can be expected." ”

The two looked at each other and laughed.
