Chapter 1139: King Sun
The genius remembers the address of this site in one second: [] The fastest update! No ads!
The sunset glow at dusk spreads all over the countryside of Jiangzhou, exuding a misty mist.
In Fangjiazhuang, the villagers after dinner began to patrol the streets.
This is the request of the rich man. If someone finds the trace of the Red Turban Army and reports it in advance, he can be rewarded with a bucket of rice.
"Dog, hurry up!"
A boy named Er Niu squatted on the top of the wall, urging his friends.
"No hurries?"
The boy called Gouzi was biting a straw, holding a fish basket, ready to touch the fish.
"Of course I'm in a hurry. If I can be the first to spot the Red Scarf Army, I can get a bucket of rice, and my sister can have a few full meals."
Er Niu licked his mouth.
"You might as well go fishing!"
Gouzi despises.
"I catch fish for three months, but I can't exchange for a bucket of rice!"
When Er Niu saw that his little friend was not interested in patrolling, he suddenly became disappointed. Because he was a good friend, he was willing to give Gouzi half of the rice.
The two walked silently along the ridge.
"Are you worried?"
Er Niu suddenly opened his mouth. On weekdays, Gouzi talks a lot, and he also asks about his sister.
"I……"
Gouzi hesitated again and again, but said: "I'm going to Zhaoshan to join the Red Scarf Army!"
"what?"
Er Niu was startled: "You don't want to die? Those people are thieves, they were caught by the government, and they will be beheaded at the entrance of the vegetable market."
"But they are rebels, and they specialize in doing justice for the heavens!"
Gouzi looked into the distance: "Did you know? Since the Red Scarf Army gained fame in the past month or so, my family's life has become much easier."
Gouzi's father, in order to see a doctor for his mother, borrowed a lot of money from the landlord's family. He was forced to have no choice but to sell Gouzi to the county blacksmith Li as an apprentice, but who knew that because of the appearance of the Red Scarf Army , The landlord's family no longer calls for debts.
"If there is no Red Scarf Army, I will die exhausted in the blacksmith's shop in my life."
Gouzi knew that it sounded like an apprentice, but in fact he was a servant who had signed a contract of sale to Blacksmith Li's family. In addition to blacksmithing, he also had to take care of other people's daily life.
As for the salary, there is none. It would be nice to have enough to eat three meals a day.
Many families who can't make it through will choose this path and send their children out.
Er Niu was silent.
His family is now a tenant farmer of the landlord Fang's family. According to his father, the family used to have six acres of paddy fields, but it turned out to be like this because they borrowed money from the landlord's family for an emergency.
The usury really can't afford it.
"Hey, even if I saw the Red Scarf Army, I wouldn't report to the Fang family."
The dog spit out a mouthful of saliva.
The two were about to take a shortcut, so they entered a bamboo forest, but soon, their bodies froze, because there were more than a hundred big men resting in the bamboo forest.
They are dressed in red clothes, with red scarves on their heads, and they look like flames in the setting sun.
"Red... Red Scarf Army?"
Er Niu's legs were shaking in fright.
"Run!"
Gouzi let out a low growl, and pushed Er Niu, while he himself stayed, and at the same time, he tightly grasped the hatchet hanging on his waist.
It's a purely instinctive reaction.
Although the Red Scarf Army claims to act on behalf of the heavens and not harm the common people, many people have never seen it with their own eyes. What if it is fake?
"Hey, this kid is so loyal at such a young age, he will definitely be a hero in the future!"
Pork Gui has a loud voice, looking at the dog, he appreciates it: "Young man, do you want to come to Zhaoshan Luocao?"
"You are Swallow Li San?"
Gouzi boldly asked.
"Do you think he is so fat that he deserves to be a swallow?"
Someone made a joke, which caused a lot of laughter.
"My name is pork expensive!"
Rougui looked at Gouzi: "Go, I'll take you to meet the leader!"
Gouzi followed him by accident, he thought that the boss of the Red Scarf Army would be a man with a big arm and a round waist, but he didn't expect that he was a handsome young man.
He was sitting on a large bluestone, holding a book, reading it intently, the rays of the setting sun fell on his face carved with knives and axes, exuding an air of elegance.
This turned out to be a bandit leader?
Gouzi was dumbfounded. His family had no money and couldn't go to a private school, but he had eavesdropped on it. The temperament of the private school teacher shocked him, but compared with this young man, it was nothing to mention.
Soon, Gouzi saw that the young man began to reprimand that Pork Gui.
It is said that persuading people to become bandits is harmful. A young man like him should go to school, learn the principles of life, and learn a skill. Even if he can't serve the country, he should at least let his family live comfortably.
For some reason, Gouzi's heart was touched after hearing these words.
"Go home, don't run around at night!"
Sun Mo smiled at the young man, took out a piece of silver, and threw it at him: "Here, young man, you must study. If you don't go to school, go to a private school. If you go to school, then use the money. Go to Jiangzhou City to take a look and broaden your horizons!"
Gouzi was dumbfounded.
Don't talk about yourself, it's your father. He has never touched broken silver since he was a child. Now this ingot of silver is at least fifty taels, right?
You can sell me ten times!
"Dalang, it's almost time."
Sun Erniang came to invite.
"Well, let me know and get ready to go!"
Sun Mo closed the book. When he walked past the young man, he hesitated and handed the book to him: "This is a copy of "Historical Records". If you have nothing to do, you can read it. After all, reading history makes you wise!"
Plop!
Gouzi knelt down and kowtowed three times vigorously.
"Boss, I am willing to fall into the grass and follow you!"
After Gouzi finished speaking, he found that the young man with a warm smile, like the sunshine in spring, had a dark complexion.
"Young people should have lofty goals. They should pursue the title of Marquis and Prime Minister. What kind of bandits should they be?"
Sun Mo refused.
Seeing this scene, Erniang Sun's beautiful eyes were filled with brilliance and respect.
The other leaders wished to raise some young dead soldiers and persuade them to fall into the grass every day, but Sun Mo was thinking of them.
No wonder he called himself the famous teacher Sun Mo Red Scarf Army.
Landlord Fang is very afraid of death. During this time, the number of servants and nursing homes has doubled, and in order to make them work hard, their salaries have doubled.
It's a pity that Sun Mo's Red Scarf Army has evolved long ago. It has been three months since they set off for the first time. After more than 20 lootings, they have been tempered by blood and fire. No exaggeration.
A skillful night attack, a step-by-step team attack, when the Red Scarf Army entered the landlord's house in the dark, the battle was basically over.
The servants wanted money, but they were more desperate. After seeing these thieves in red clothes, as the rumors said, they were fearless of death and had superb sword skills, their morale quickly collapsed.
Of course, there are family swordsmen who are not afraid of death, but after Sun Mo led the elite to attack for a round, they collapsed.
"If only there were gunpowder!"
Sun Mo looked at the red scarf soldiers lying in a pool of blood, and was very depressed. He knew the ratio of gunpowder, but the materials were not easy to handle.
Now, Sun Mo's team is huge enough to evacuate the entire grain depot, but he still kept one third as usual to distribute to the villagers.
The villagers covered their faces, carried the food happily, and finally set fire to the landlord's house.
At dawn, there were quite a few youths and teenagers in the village, either with their parents' permission, or they ran away privately. Anyway, there were dozens of them chasing after Sun Mo's Red Scarf Army.
The thieves were already used to this kind of thing, so they didn't need Sun Mo's arrangement, and they took them directly to transport food.
...
"The fourth master has returned to the mountain."
When the fleet appeared on the water near the cottage, some thieves shouted, and then groups of thieves recognized them and greeted them.
"It's a rewarding experience again!"
"I also want to eat and drink spicy food with Si Dangjia!"
"I don't know if the Red Scarf Army will let me join or not?"
The thieves looked at the goods unloaded from the ship, and their eyes were so hot that they were dying.
The head of the family stood on the hillside, watching his brothers welcome Sun Mo with smiles, his expression became more and more gloomy.
I haven't made a decision on whether Sun Mo is the top four, but the thieves have started to call it that, which means that Sun Mo's reputation is surpassing him.
The most troublesome thing is that every time he comes back, he will bring a group of new people.
These rookies only recognize the Red Scarf Army, not him as the leader.
"If this continues, my cottage will be taken over by magpies and doves."
The boss doesn't want to sit still, he must find a way to suppress Sun Mo, and let him know who is the boss.
"Brother Sun, let's have a drink together?"
The third master came and invited Sun Mo to drink.
At the wine table, the third master persuaded him.
"I heard some news that you have gone too far, the governor of Jiangzhou decided to send troops to wipe out the Red Scarf Army!"
Sun Mo curled his lips, noncommittal.
"Sun Mo, stop!"
The third family sighed: "Although Dajing Kingdom has a foolish ruler and sycophants, in my opinion, this country will have at least 50 years before it declines. Why don't we live in peace and stability?"
"What are you reading for?"
Sun Mo asked back.
"Naturally, it is to shepherd one side and support thousands of people!"
Although the third master is a scholar, he also has great ambitions.
"When I study, I set my heart for the world, for the people, for the sages, and for the peace of the world. Even if I become a bandit, I still don't change my original intention!"
Sun Mo drank a glass of wine and made a loud noise.
The third master was completely stunned, these four words, like a thunderbolt, struck on his celestial spirit cover, making him so shocked that he could not speak.
"Since a foolish ruler has no virtue, wouldn't it be good to change to a wise ruler?"
Sun Mo chuckled.
rub!
The third master stood up in fright, such words were disrespectful, and he would be punished by the nine clans.
"They are all thieves, they are dead anyway, what are they afraid of?"
Sun Mo shrugged his shoulders.
"Wait, another one? You want to..."
The third master guessed a possibility.
"Build up the reputation of the Red Scarf Army, and then force the court to recruit security. At that time, our army can support a Mingjun to ascend the throne!"
Sun Mo lied to the third master.
"Although it is difficult, it is not impossible to operate."
The third family was not in the mood to drink anymore, he frowned and thought about it, all his life he longed to be cleansed, to enter the court, and being an official was very attractive to him.
"The governor wants to kill me?"
Sun Mo smiled: "How many thieves are hiding in these 800-kilometer water pools? Some of them have even caused disasters for a hundred years. You say that I helped him exterminate them, what will happen?"
The third master's eyes lit up, which is a great achievement.
"Also, what do you think of my Red Turban Army, which is capable of fighting, and finally taking orders from the governor? Of course, the governor doesn't want us, and we just need another one. I don't believe in this court, it's monolithic! "
Sun Mo had already thought about the development route.
"I heard that His Royal Highness King Qi is less intelligent, more quick-witted, and unparalleled in benevolence. Why don't we..."
The third master was excited, but when he thought of the difficulty of eradicating those water bandits, he became discouraged for a while.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of it, but this time, the government needs to cooperate. Shouldn't you ask someone to walk around?"
Sun Mo lowered his voice, and described his plan with the third master.
On the second day, with the support of the third master, Sun Mo became the fourth master of Zhaoshan. As soon as he took the fourth position, he proposed to send invitation letters to all the bandit chieftains in the eight hundred miles of water, please Half a month later, they came to Zhaoshan to discuss important matters.
This time, the eight hundred miles of water were raging.
...
Xu Hong is an old bandit. The faction he belongs to is called Guoshanlong. His reputation is scary, but in fact there are only about five hundred people.
"Boss, it won't be a Hongmen banquet this time, will it?"
A younger brother is worried.
"You're stupid. Although the Red Scarf Army has a great reputation, it's still very difficult to conquer so many influences."
Xu Hong scolded: "There are still such things, don't talk nonsense."
As the fishing boat approached the pier, Xu Hong saw bandits in red scarves standing on the wooden pier.
"Nimma, is this more elite than the imperial guards?"
Xu Hong was a little scared.
He stepped onto the pier and saw a few acquaintances, all of whom were leaders of other forces. Anyway, the owners of those big cottages didn't come.
"Everyone, please!"
Sun Erniang was in charge of reception and arranged board and lodging for everyone.
That night, Xu Hong and his party ate fragrant glutinous rice and large pieces of pork.
"Boss, I've seen it, those old and weak people also eat these things!"
A younger brother whispered.
Generally speaking, in cottages, people eat so well only when they go out to plunder, and usually save money on food and expenses, let alone the old, weak, sick and disabled, because there is no productivity, and the food is even worse.
"It seems that the Red Scarf Army has made a lot of money recently!"
Xu Hong envied: "Forget it, no matter what that Sun Tianwang wants to do, eat enough first, even if he dies, he will be a full ghost."
After Xu Hong finished eating, he went to add more food, and then walked away reluctantly.
Because this helping cook is so beautiful.
"Tsk, such a beautiful woman actually does such a rough job and puts it in my cottage, she must be the village owner's wife!"
While eating, Xu Hong was thinking about how to strike up a conversation, but a strong man got there first.
He drank, and while talking nasty words, he still wanted to move his hands and feet. The little lady had no choice but to keep backing away.
"It makes no sense!"
Xu Hong really wanted to be a hero to save the beauty, but he knew this strong man, Zhang Kui, who was the most capable murderer among the bandits in Zhaoshan, except for Lv Erzhang.
He can't afford it.
"What are you doing bird man?"
A loud shout resounded in Xu Hong's ears, and then he saw a big bowl flying towards him. If Zhang Kui hadn't dodged quickly, he would have been smashed to pieces.
Then, a strong man rushed over.
"Pork is expensive, do you think the last time I beat you was not bad enough?"
Zhang Kui snorted coldly.
"Sister-in-law, are you okay?"
Pork Gui ignored Zhang Kui, but first asked Mei Niang if she was well.
"I'm fine!"
Mei Niang didn't want to cause trouble for Sun Mo.
"Buying Brother Sun's wife is bullying Brother Sun. I don't want my life, old pig, and I will make you pay the price!"
Pork expensive furious.
"What? We have been brothers for many years, and you are going to turn against me for a woman?"
Zhang Kui scolded.
Xu Hong understood that this woman was Sun Mo's wife, and Zhang Kui must have been ordered by someone in charge to intentionally confuse Sun Mo and save his face.
Now there is a good show to watch!
