Chapter 1297: Blood for blood, tooth for tooth
In almost every ranch, some core figures will appear in the past six months.
As if at the beginning, everyone was just a mess, but gradually, some people stood out and they gradually gained the conviction of others, not because of their noble status or the amount of money he had.
Here, people who can convince people are often those who are gradually discovered in this desert and become courageous and knowledgeable.
In other words, some people are born as leaders, but they used to cultivate land in the pass and became the backbone of everyone. However, now, outside this pass full of dangers and opportunities, they have become the backbone of everyone because they are more adaptable than others.
Now the contacts between the ranches everywhere have been cut off, and everyone can no longer communicate with each other, so everything can only be judged by such leaders themselves.
Zhu Houzhao was in the tent, and there was hot charcoal burning in the tent, making people feel warm as spring. He was wearing a fur coat and tightly tied with a cloth belt around his waist, which could not only keep the cold from the cold, but also prevent the wide skirt from hindering his movements.
Under this fire, he was slowly loading bullets for his rifle, one, two... After loading, he swirled the beehive like a cone bullet groove, rubbed it with a click, and stuck the wheel groove back into the rifle.
He inserted four rifles around his waist and wrapped the cloak on the hanger on his body.
Then, he took a deep breath.
Be calm...
In fact, even Zhu Houzhao, who has always been brave, felt a little uneasy at this time.
Although he had been waiting for too long this day, and since he learned to speak, he knew that his status was noble, but in his bones, there was always an impulse. He didn't want to be the emperor or inherit his ancestors' foundation. He just wanted to live unruly like this, want to be Li Guang and Huo Qubing on this grassland. He didn't want to be the brain of the world in the Forbidden City. He just wanted to be a rib, a very hard bone.
Actually, he was still a little scared, but here, he was Boss Zhu, a person trusted by many people. He had to close his eyes and adjust his mentality hard. Suddenly, his eyes opened, and then a trace of splendor flashed through his eyes.
"I have been waiting for you for a long time!" He suddenly smiled, shook his cloak, and then stepped out the account.
There were noisy people outside the tent, some cursing, and some asked in a low voice.
But when Boss Zhu appeared, all the sounds came to an abrupt end, only the cold wind yelled.
"Do you want to run?" Zhu Houzhao said sternly: "Where do you want to go? Who do you want to get a foot outside the pass? In the pass, you are nothing. Don't say whether there are Tatars near this camp now, so you have no way to escape if you want to escape. Just think of what life you have lived in the pass?"
"Today, we are here to eat wine and meat. Forget it, this pasture is the gift. Today we are a man here, but what about returning to the pass?"
Zhu Houzhao sneered, and he even found that he was very qualified to despise them: "Zhao Rulong, you are just a farmer in the pass, in your thirties, not even a woman, and have never had enough food? Yang Bo, come out, who are you? If you don't say anything, do you think no one knows? You are a prisoner in the pass, right? Can you still go back? Or do you want to go back to jail? Zhao Jin, you owe so much debt in the pass, do you pay your life to pay?"
"How many people can go back to the thunder pool that crosses the wall? Those who dare to slap their chests and say such things will stand up."
In response to Zhu Houzhao, there was silence!
Zhu Houzhao's words hit their weakness. That's right. Life here is very comfortable, food and clothing are free here, and living here is comfortable. What about the pass?
Zhu Houzhao laughed at this time and said, "I can go back. After I go back, I will live a thousand and a hundred times better than you guys, but I will stay here because I regard this pasture as my home. This is my home! I don't care who this pasture was in the past, whether it was the Xiongnu? Xianbei? Turkic? Or some shitty Oirat or Tatar. I only know that now this is my home. I am here, it is here, and it is here, and we should be there."
"Someone came to rob us, wanted to kill our heads and release our blood. The only thing that is, we have not many women... so, we won't let them rob us women."
"Haha..." It was a tense atmosphere, but Zhu Houzhao's words caused everyone to burst into laughter.
They saw a sense of confidence in Zhu Houzhao's face. His endless words dispelled the timidity in many people's hearts by magic.
Zhu Houzhao seemed to be a king born on the grassland. In the past, he never knew how to reason with civil and military officials. However, here, when he saw a pair of eyes that believed him, he found that he could talk endlessly. He still had many words. If these words were said in the temple, it would probably surprise countless people. Then countless people cried and shouted, beating their chests and falling feet, roaring into the sky, "I am dead in the Ming Dynasty."
But here, the words he hid in his stomach received a warm response.
"I have been thinking about one thing. Logically speaking, I did not rob these Hu people, sleep with their women, and plunder their cattle and horses. What gave them such a courage to put their ideas on me? The idea of dared to make me think not to take me seriously. A group of things like native chickens and dogs dared to provoke me..."
Speaking of this, Zhu Houzhao pulled out the knife hard, then inserted it heavily into the soil, and saw three parts of the soil, and then roared: "It's too much to deceive people!"
The potential wildness was actually aroused at this moment. Everyone's anxiety and fear just now seemed to have been cleared up all of a sudden, and they burst into laughter and said, "It's too much to deceive others."
"He dares to bully us, and then slaughter them. If he wants to drive us out of the grassland, then we will drive them out. If they want to loot our cattle and sheep, then we will loot their cattle and sheep, and for blood, for teeth, tell them, use swords, use rifles, and use the words of their ancestor Temujin. If you want to fight, I will fight!"
"Fight!" These people raised their arms one after another.
After leaving the barrier, they have been no longer docile lambs for more than half a year. The strong wine they drank and the beef and mutton they ate made them feel hot. Now, rather than saying that they were swearing before the war, they were not saying that they were venting!
