Chapter 4 Defenders of the East Gate of Sizhou City
Chapter 4: The East Gate of Sizhou City
As night approached, Cheng De listened to the snoring sounds in the room without any sleepiness.
Cheng De was thinking about his performance during the day, and wanted to understand why he had such courage.
After thinking about it, Cheng De attributed all this to the white light that shot into his eyebrows before traveling through time. Perhaps it was something he could rely on in this troubled time.
As of now, it has increased its strength. At least when competing with Tumenbatai during the day, it was not as embarrassed as I thought at first.
I just don’t know if that white light has any other function.
I thought that I still have enough time to try one by one in the days to try to discover what abilities I have.
In addition, what excited Cheng De was that he had a team of 20 people. Although the number was not large, Cheng De believed that he would definitely master more teams in the future.
When you have enough teams, you must seize the opportunity and fight the anti-Yuan flag. First master the Sizhou City, then use it as a springboard to master the nearby cities.
Moreover, if all these can be achieved, then I can also follow Zhu Yuanzhang's actions in history, use Nanjing as his base, and then secretly develop his own power, waiting to compete with all the heroes in the future.
In this world, from ancient times to the present, there are those who can live there.
Hearing Li Sanqi's voice, everyone went out enthusiastically.
Finally, talents from all walks of life are currently recruiting as much as possible. Of course, this matter is a long-term thing.
Cheng De stopped after he tried Tai Chi in his mind several times in a row.
Suddenly appearing in the yard was a strong man in his thirties. He was wearing black armor, a yellow robe and an eight-foot-long sword. His eyes were cold under the support of dozens of strong soldiers who were also wearing black armor.
"How is your second uncle? Is he strict? At present, I have an important thing to do, but this must be handed over to people who our brothers can trust."
As for thinking about seeking to surrender to Zhu Yuanzhang, Cheng De had no such dangerous thoughts at all.
Cheng De hurriedly walked in front of this strange strong man, "I am Cheng De!"
Cheng De patted He Sanwu on the shoulder and smiled and said, "Good brother, I, Cheng De, can meet a brother like you, really be blessed by God!"
He Sanwu approached Cheng De, then looked around and found that no one was approaching, so he lowered his voice and said, "Brother, I have something to tell you."
"He Sanwu, what kind of person do you want to be in the future?"
After putting on the armor, everyone's energy rose more than one step, and they looked a bit heroic.
Looking at He Sanwu's honest look like scratching his head, Cheng De was amused and moved by it.
At this time, the yard was silent.
Taking advantage of the well water in the yard, Cheng De took a shower. Although it was already October, Cheng De still felt a little chill in the air.
If you want to hold Sizhou City firmly in your hands, you must seize an opportunity, and the number of people you have in your hands is too small.
Sure enough, people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles!
After all, history has clearly shown that it is easy to die as an official under Zhu Yuanzhang, so this kind of idea must not be present!
Rather than handing over your destiny to others, it is better to take it into your own hands.
"Well, when you have time later, you can take me to see your second uncle."
Cheng De had a general idea about how to make money. The techniques he currently masters include: gunpowder, cement, glass, soap, winemaking, etc. Relatively speaking, glass and soap are both feasible.
"Who is Cheng De?"
"I am Lin Shan, the leader of the signboard under Lord Bantu, and under Lord Bantu's order, I have brought you some things, including twenty pairs of armor, twenty spears, and some daily clothes. In addition, Lord Bantu asked me to tell you that from tomorrow morning, you will lead your subordinates to the east gate of Sizhou City to change defenses. For details, the person who changes defenses will be told to you!"
Not long after, everyone picked it up and put it on the spot.
When he arrived in the yard, Cheng De found that the meal he had was delivered specially by someone. Each person received 2 black lumps, 1 bowl of porridge, and a bowl of white bloom!
When all the boxes were opened, Cheng De saw the desire deep in the eyes of the brothers. After all, with armor, the survival rate on the battlefield is relatively higher, and it is understandable to be happy.
"What's wrong?" Cheng De smiled.
Again, intelligence. The importance of intelligence is very important for wars. In many famous battles in history, they usually take the lead in knowing intelligence, and then use the time difference roughly to achieve victory in the war. How to develop this intelligence, Cheng De thought that he could build a restaurant in Sizhou City. This also requires enough money.
First of all, to develop a team secretly, this team must have a legitimate identity on the surface, and to achieve this goal, you must have a lot of money.
"Brother, when are you going to pick it up?"
Seeing everyone wearing armor, Cheng De found that everyone was different.
"Brother, don't worry, my second uncle has treated me as much as his own son since he was a child. He is cautious and always taciturn, which is very credible!"
"The most urgent thing is to make money first! As for how to make money, just make glass first. After all, it is easy to accumulate enough wealth in a short period of time. As for how to sell the glass, it still requires some other planning!" Cheng De murmured at the dark roof.
As for why he practices Tai Chi, Cheng De thought that he could maintain his health and live more.
"Oh, elder brother is like father, I'll listen to elder brother!" Li Sanqi walked towards the edge of the well with a smile.
"He Sanwu, do you know craftsmen or something, carpenters and blacksmiths, etc., or you can do it."
After a while.
Not long after, Li Sanqi outside the house suddenly said, "Brother, you can have a meal!"
When he thought of this, something called ambition appeared on Cheng De.
"I originally wanted to keep this matter hidden, but yesterday I was moved by my elder brother's ambition. At the same time, considering that my elder brother is having some difficulties in getting things done, I decided to tell my elder brother that I just hope that my elder brother can realize his ambition as soon as possible."
In a blink of an eye, it was already noon.
After saying that, Lin Shan waved his hand and dozens of soldiers carried several boxes and placed it on the ground.
Looking at Lin Shan's back, Cheng De said in his heart a pity. From Lin Shan's words and expression just now, it can be seen that he is a loyal member of the Yuan Dynasty. He will inevitably confront each other on the battlefield in the future, and even face each other with swords.
He Sanwu nodded, "Brother, I'll listen to you!"
After saying that, the whole yard was suddenly in a noisy state.
Afterwards, when Cheng De had finished dressing, the people in the room gradually got up.
At this moment, Cheng De was so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back. When he thought that there were only two meals a day, Cheng De secretly decided to wait until he took power and have three meals a day.
Countless thoughts suddenly appeared in Cheng De's mind. After some sorting, they were roughly divided into four steps.
Without waiting for Cheng De to say more, He Sanwu whispered in Cheng De's ear.
Cheng De walked to Lin Shan and expressed his gratitude to Lin Shan.
At this time, He Sanwu walked to Cheng De's side, his expression was serious, as if he was hiding his worries.
Secondly, to store grain. If an army wants to grow, it must have enough food, so it must store grain in secret. And to store grain requires money.
"When you wake up, you get up. Li Sanqi, you should just wipe your face first. You have a lot of eye poop on your face, and people don't look very energetic."
Afterwards, Cheng De and He Sanwu talked about some daily trivial matters, and then contacted several other brothers next to each other.
Not long after, Cheng De was sweating profusely.
The next day it will be dawn.
The strong man looked at Cheng De, but Cheng De's expression remained unchanged.
At present, I should try my best to climb up, and try to master more power before coming to 1352.
However, this does not mean that Cheng De's attitude will be submissive. If they deliberately cause trouble, then they will be tougher and see who is competing with whom. If they can't handle them, they will talk about fighting for the world!
These thoughts emerged in Cheng De's mind in the blink of an eye.
Cheng De expressed his gratitude to Lin Shan again, but Lin Shan did not respond and directly led the person away on the spot.
Time flies.
After hearing what Lin Shan said, Cheng Dexin said: There are worlds where there are people. It seems that we will inevitably deal with those leaders of the brands.
As for whether to change history, Cheng De did not consider this kind of thing, because in Cheng De's view, perhaps the time and space he lived in was just a parallel world of the original time and space.
"Okay, I'll take my brother there then!"
Cheng De turned around and decided to set a small goal and first master Sizhou City.
"Hehe, I'm very embarrassed to say this!"
After hearing what He Sanwu said, Cheng De was very excited and patted He Sanwu on the shoulder and said, "He Sanwu, I remember this matter. If my brother can accomplish anything in the future, he will never forget your contribution."
After retracting his gaze, Cheng De looked around everyone and saw what everyone was thinking, and said, "Brothers, each of them will choose a pair of armor, a spear, and a set of clothes from the box."
"These are all made by Lord Banotu. If you want to thank me, thank Lord Banotu! By the way, I want to remind you that these twenty pairs of armor were originally favored by the commanders of several other brands, but Lord Banotu used them for you, which aroused their dissatisfaction."
Cheng De did not answer immediately, but thought for a while, "He Sanwu, you and I know about this matter at present. After our responsibilities are arranged today, we will take some time to plan. Then bring Li Sanwu with us, and then you will give us the three of us a guide to get a part of it first. As for how to get it, we will discuss it after we arrange our responsibilities."
However, to achieve these, there must be certain prerequisites.
Although Cheng De was confused, his face was very calm. However, he also imitated He Sanwu to lower his voice, "What's the matter?"
Then, Cheng De began to run around the yard. After running for half an hour, Cheng De continued to do several sets of push-ups and several laps of squats.
"Brother, you got up so early!" Li Sanqi looked at Cheng De with a smile.
"Well, if it were in the past, I just wanted to live well. Now, I want to work with my elder brother. I will do whatever I say I do? Because for us brothers, we are all from the same village and are well-versed. We all believe that our elder brother will not treat us badly in the future. Among us brothers, we just want to live every day, but our elder brother is different. Only our elder brother has the ambition to think about the dawn of the world. With this, our elder brother is far better than our brothers!"
"Dada-dada-dada-dada!"
In short, everything is possible in the future.
After everyone had sex, Cheng De also tried on the armor, and the brothers said yes!
Then, they each brought their armor, clothes, spears, etc. to the house, along with those boxes.
"Brother, my second uncle is a carpenter."
Even though the food was so simple, the hungry people ate them all into their stomachs.
Cheng De looked at the two black lumps in his hand, and his face calmly ate the hard black lumps while eating.
Seeing everyone eating the same food, Cheng De was very heavy. In such an era, food is really hard-won. Compared to other people, it is already good to have a portion of food.
"It's delicious!" Cheng De said with a smile, although it smelled strange.
