10

This time, Li Zixiao's raid on Liujiazhuang was very successful, and everyone fell into joy.

They completely forgot that when they went out, there were more than 100 people, and the original familiar faces who finally returned to the cottage were only about 20 people, and there were 30 new faces who had just joined.

But you can't blame these people for being ruthless and unjust, things like death are happening every day in the land of Henan.

Today's companions may die tomorrow, and they have become numb after seeing too much of these lives and deaths.

It's not that they don't want to think about it, because one day, they too will disappear into this world, just like those who died, and then quickly fade into oblivion.

When Old Master Wei knew that he learned from Wei Hong's mouth that they had encountered the cavalry of the official army, and dozens of brothers had died at the hands of the official army, he was very sad.

"What a good boy, this world really doesn't give people a way to live!"

After cleaning up the cave, Old Master Wei found a few wooden boards, on which nothing was written, placed on the stone outside the entrance of the cave, knelt down silently, and kowtowed solemnly to the wooden card that was used as a tablet.

"When people come to this world, they can't even have a tablet after death, that would be too miserable.

We are all our brothers, we can't give each of them a tablet, and we can't even call them by name, but we burn some paper money for them, so that they can know underground that we old brothers have not forgotten them. ”

Old Master Wei's tone was very sad, which made Li Zixiao and others also infected.

The others watched silently from the beginning, and then under the leadership of Li Zixiao, they all walked to the wordless tablet one by one and knelt down, kowtowing a few heads to worship the dead brothers.

They knew that one day, when they died like these people, there would be a group of living brothers who would worship them and burn them some paper money.

It is not that they will be poor when they are alive, and they will not receive paper money to spend when they die, so it will be really desolate.

As a modern person, Li Zixiao does not believe in ghosts and gods, but Li Zixiao is very supportive of Old Master Wei's worship of these dead brothers.

In doing so, it can even strengthen the sense of belonging of everyone in the cottage, so that they feel that they still have someone who cares, and even if they die, someone will set up a tablet for them to burn paper.

Because he needs these of his subordinates to be tightly united, and those who have experienced life and death together can really be united!

"Brothers, go on the road with peace of mind, we will often burn paper money for you, and ensure that you will no longer be poor there!" After Li Zixiao personally kowtowed to the wordless tablet, he said in a deep voice.

With Li Zixiao, the big boss, Zhou Dazhu, Wei Hong and others also walked slowly behind Li Zixiao one by one, knelt down, and kowtowed to this wordless tablet together.

"Brothers, go all the way." Everyone said in unison.

However, after worshipping these dead brothers, what they should celebrate is still to celebrate, Li Zixiao ordered the kitchen to make a sumptuous dinner, so that his subordinates can eat and drink well, they have been really hard in the past two days.

This night, everyone in the cottage finally had a full meal and slept beautifully in the cave.

However, Li Zixiao had insomnia, he walked out of the cave, sat on a stone wrapped in cotton clothes and quietly looked at the bright moon in the sky, he was homesick.

"Hey, I don't know how my parents are now." Li Zixiao said with a sigh.

Then Li Zixiao began to worry about the survival of his era, originally in the chaotic era of the late Ming Dynasty, he had only seen it in books.

What food is in short supply, the rebels are fleeing, the Tartars knock on the pass, etc., how many people die of famine every year, how many people are killed by the Tartars every time they enter the pass, and how many property and people are robbed are just a string of numbers in books.

Moreover, Li Zixiao was still an angry young man in his previous life, and like many people, he did not have much affection for the Qing Dynasty Tartars, and put all the responsibility for the humiliating history of more than 100 years in later China on the Qing Dynasty.

It was the rulers of the Qing Dynasty who implemented the policy of closing the country to the outside world, which made China gradually lag behind Western countries in the past 300 years, resulting in the subsequent cession of land, compensation, and pretending to be grandchildren, which made China suffer humiliation.

At that time, Li Zixiao often thought that if there was a chance for him to travel to the end of the Ming Dynasty, he would definitely prevent all this from happening, never let the wild boar skins outside the pass step into the pass, and would not let the Eight Banners Tartars rule China and waste the good time of 300 years in China.

However, now that he has really traveled to the end of the Ming Dynasty, he realizes that he finally has the opportunity to fulfill a wish that he could only think about before, which makes him very excited.

But then the cruel reality around him came to his senses again, and he crossed over not to become an emperor, nor a minister of the court, not even a small landowner.

He is just a bandit leader who leads dozens of bandits, they may not have a meal if they can eat this meal in such a troubled era, they can only barely survive, and what else to talk about preventing the Tatars outside the gate from entering the customs and reviving China!

"If you come, you will be safe. Now that the situation is already so bad, so what? The important thing is that now I finally have the opportunity to realize the vision in my heart.

I don't know if Wang Xiang, Li Cong and others would envy me if they knew that I was coming to the end of the Ming Dynasty now! Since I have crossed once, I can't do nothing, who said that bandits can't become a climate, look at Li Zicheng's predecessors are my example.

Let me think about what to do with these brothers next. Li Zixiao thought a lot about this night.

In the end, he decided to train his bandits to become a capable soldier, then do it with the official army, no food, money, it doesn't matter, go and rob those rich families, they have food and money.

In a short period of time, Li Zixiao is going to take his subordinates to do the old business of bandits, and strengthen his own strength by robbing those rich people, only long-term development, Li Zixiao really didn't think about it.

Unconsciously, Li Zixiao sat there all night, the sky was dark, and at this time, his group of people were still sleeping with their heads covered in the cave!

"Huh? Who's that? ”

At this time, Li Zixiao saw a figure coming out of the cave, and he was very curious and walked over to take a look.

Soon, Li Zixiao saw clearly who it was, it turned out to be quartz! Why did he get up so early?

Then, Li Zixiao saw Quartz walking on a horse, his arms parallel to each other, and a bucket of water hanging on each arm, where he was doing morning exercises.

Seeing that Quartz got up early for morning exercises, while the others in the cave were still sleeping with their heads covered, Li Zixiao slapped his thigh and shouted: "Yes, the most important thing now is to get rid of their lazy bandit habits, so that they can have the opportunity to train them to be capable soldiers and will not be chased and beaten by the official army." ”

At present, the training of them is to let them strengthen their physique, train their fighting skills, and more importantly, Li Zixiao is actually to train their discipline.

There are no rules, there is no circle, Li Zixiao thinks that his team may not need to be outstanding in individual ability, but everyone must be prohibited.

In this troubled era, only his strength is getting stronger and stronger, so that he can get more resources and develop and grow.

Otherwise, if it goes on like this, there will be no possibility for a group of rabble to survive at all, and they may be exterminated by the official army one day.

Thinking about Li Zixiao's style of acting before, to put it bluntly, there is no difference between his gang of bandits and other bandits.

When doing things, he relies on his enthusiasm, and there is no discipline at all, and he can still scare people when dealing with those unarmed people, and once he encounters the official army, he will be completely cowardly.

Li Zixiao naturally will not be satisfied with their current style of acting, if they continue like this, they will never be strong.

And now that he's back in the cottage, with this secret hideout and the grain in his hands, he's ready to practice the guys.

In the future, when they encounter a battle, they will only be like a swarm of flies, slashing and killing indiscriminately, and he will train his men to become a group of obedient and warlike bandits.

After figuring this out, Li Zixiao just did what he said, ran directly into the cave, punched and kicked many of his subordinates who were still asleep.

"Get up, get up for Lao Tzu, one by one you know that you eat and sleep, sleep and eat, you think you are pigs!" Li Zixiao will stir up everyone's dreams.

"Big boss, it's not dawn yet, why did you wake us up so early? Let's sleep again! Zhang Ergouzi squinted his eyes, and after being kicked up by Li Zixiao, he lay down in a daze.

"That's right, big boss, it's not dawn, why are you up and sleeping." Someone chimed in.

"Okay, don't you get up. Okay, now it's all for Lao Tzu to listen to, now everyone puts on their clothes and gathers outside, and the last five people who go out will only have one meal today. ”

"Ahh

After Li Zixiao said this, no one moved at first, but after a while, someone finally reacted, screamed, jumped out of the quilt directly, looked for clothes to put on, and then ran outside.

More and more people also reacted, one by one, panicked, without even opening their eyes, hurriedly put on their clothes, and ran towards the open space outside the cave.

"Well, it seems that this trick still works." Seeing his subordinates panicking and panicking, Li Zixiao finally smiled and said in a low voice.

It took nearly half an hour for more than 60 bandits in the entire cave to crawl out of the bed, and one stood outside with his eyes closed and his body shaking, and the line was crooked, which was funny to watch.

And the last five people who came out were directly stopped by Li Zixiao, and said coldly: "You five, today's breakfast is gone." ”

"Ahh Don't, I'm wrong, can't I? Among these five people is Zhang Ergouzi, who was begging Li Zixiao at this time.

"If you know you're wrong, you're going to be punished."

Li Zixiao faced Zhang Ergouzi's wailing and begging for mercy, but seemed unmoved, ignored Zhang Ergouzi, and walked outside.
