Chapter 76 On the Road

After the meeting, Zhu Hongsan returned to the inner house to prepare to fight the twins. Unexpectedly, he was stopped by his daughter on the way.

Zhu Hongsan saw his daughter and asked, "Is there anything wrong with my dear daughter?"

Zhu Luo pulled Zhu Hongsan and whispered: "Dad, have those two vixen complained to you?"

Zhu Hongsan said, "What kind of vixen? They call Sanniang and Siniang. They are saying that you are naughty."

Zhu Luo cursed: "These two vixen, I just whipped them and then reported it. Dad, don't you tell your mother that I'm naughty when you go home, right?"

Zhu Hongsan smiled and said, "Haha, my little overlord actually has people who are afraid of you. Aren't you afraid of heaven and earth?"

Zhu Luo said, "I'm afraid of my mother. I know that my father wants to hit me and it's just scaring me, but my mother really beat me."

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

"Then you tell those two vixen that you don't want them to talk too much."

Zhu Hongsan smiled and said, "Daughter, I will teach you a trick that is more effective than this. Let the evil man complain 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 will complain to your mother first, saying that they hate you and don't like you."

Zhu Luo said, "That's all right? What should they do if they tell their mother that I'm naughty?"

Zhu Hongsan said, "Because you said to your mother first, this is called preconceptions. When they say bad things about you, your mother will think that they really hate you and make up your bad things. Do you know if it's a silly girl?"

Zhu Luo nodded and said happily: "It's still my father's cunning."

Zhu Hongsan cursed: "What a cunning person? I used the wrong idiom. Daddy called Dazhi Ruoyi."

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? Let's do this. I think your children are good. I'll get you a hundred people back and get you a boy camp. You'll be the commander."

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

Zhu Hongsan cursed: "Don't sing this song, you learned this from Fatty Qian. His father sang a stroke for him. Okay, all the conditions are met, go back to sleep."

Zhu Luo led his maid back to sleep without mentioning it.

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

The fifth day, which is the first day of September, is the day when Zhu Hongsan led his troops to set off. He has been out for four months, and I don’t know how his family is going. Zhu Hongsan is now home.

After breakfast in the morning, the team set off. No one else was fine. The Dong family twins looked at the family that had been living for fifteen years and shed tears. Zhu Hongsan comforted them and said, "What are you crying? You are a concubine, and even your father will give you favors when he is alive. Maybe you two have to marry that old man as a house. Now you are together, your mother is by your side, and the master is strong, so you can make you die every night. It's great, don't be dissatisfied."

Dong Zhen said, "I wonder if the eldest lady has a good temper. Can we sisters enter the house?" In this era, the concubines are a little better than the maids, and sometimes they are not as good as the maids. When the maids are old, they can still find a tenant to be the wife. It is possible that the concubine will make the wife unhappy and sell it. It is useless to have a child. Xu Wei and Xu Wenchang are like this. His biological mother is sold by her legitimate mother for life and death.

Seeing the two concubines worried here, Zhu Hongsan smiled and said, "Don't worry, little beauty, I'll talk to you at home. The yellow-faced woman is going to make the master unhappy and let you be the wife."

Dong Zhen and Dong Huan don’t know Zhu Hongsan’s bragging personality yet, and they thought what he said was true, and they couldn’t help but be secretly happy.

Qian Fatty, beside him, thought to himself: "These two silly girls don't know that Zhu Hongsan was chased by Ma Xiaofang to escape." But he didn't dare to say that Zhu Hongsan and Ma Xiaofang could not afford to offend him.

Zhu Hongsan caught up with Tong Yangjia in front and said, "Sir, let your concubine accompany her two daughters. There is a long journey of personal chat."

Tong Yangjia went back and notified his concubine not to mention it.

There were dozens of large cars in a group of 1,500 people, and the team was five miles long. They left Dongjiawu Fort and returned to Huguang. Tong Yangjia was right along the way. He was safe a few days ago, and half of the living people could not see on the official road. There were many dead people.

The team arrived at Xingzhe Pass on the 16th day after leaving Dongjiawu Fort, which is also the border pass between Huguang and Henan. This place is still the same, but after a summer, the dead bodies turned into bones, scattered on the passes and hillsides, and glittering from a distance.

The female family members of the Dong family had seen so many dead people. Although they turned into bones, this was quite scary. The female family members put down all the curtains of the car doors. Zhu Hongsan also knew that they were afraid and ordered the team to speed up and pass the Xingzha Pass.

After passing Xingzha Pass, I entered the Huguang area. This place is not as desolate as Henan. There is also green on the mountain, and pedestrians can be seen on the official road. However, when Zhu Hongsan and his team were away, they avoided it. After Zhu Hongsan and his team passed, they dared to come out and continue on their way.

There were no bandits in Huguang, but the officers and soldiers had met several times. These guys were even more abominable than bandits. Seeing that there were fewer people in the caravan, they would directly kill them. If there were many people, they would be blackmail. When they arrived in Xiaogan, they met a group of blackmailers. At first, Ma Jiyuan wanted to convince people with virtue, so he went up to report the number and said that it was from the Ma family in Huguang. Unexpectedly, Qianhu, who led the team, ignored him and even slapped him. Ma Jiyuan came back angrily and scolded the country for being unnatural.

Zhu Hongsan knew that Ma Jiyuan was going to suffer at first, so he came up and said with a smile: "How about brother? Didn't you tell him about benevolence, righteousness and morality? He was so moved that he cried bitterly, and he vowed to put down his butcher's knife and become a Buddha right away?"

Ma Jiyuan said angrily: "You can do it, I think you will do what you do?"

Zhu Hongsan said, "Simple." He said to Zhou Yu, "Take people up and kill all 200 of them."

Zhou Yu received the order and brought people forward. After a while, there was a crying and begging for mercy in front of him. Ten minutes later, Zhou Yu came back to hand over the order and said, "All 224 people were killed, and ten war horses were seized."

Zhu Hongsan smiled and said, "I wanted to get some money but I didn't expect it to be the one who gave it. Not bad, ten war horses also have 1,000 taels of silver in Huguang."

Ma Jiyuan's angry face changed and he said to Zhu Hongsan: "What you said is to kill them all?"

Zhu Hongsan said, "Yes, your preaching is not good, my swords and guns are good. I have a Bodhisattva heart to those who listen to me, and treating my enemies is a thundering method." Zhu Hongsan said, "It's true that Ma Jiyuan can get angry and scold him again. Unexpectedly, Ma Jiyuan said nothing, but just lowered his head and thought about it and said, "What you said is not necessarily wrong. This country has changed a lot. Maybe your methods can work."

Zhu Hongsan was stunned. He always thought that Ma Jiyuan was a conservative. He thought that he could use books to educate the world. He didn't expect that he had a realistic side, which really made Zhu Hongsan look at him with admiration.

Zhu Hongsan and Ma Jiyuan often discussed issues during the future journey. Zhu Hongsan discovered that Ma Jiyuan was just upright, but not pedantic. He hated Zhu Hongsan's shameless methods, but believed that it was okay to use some vulgar methods during the crisis of the country.

At the same time, Ma Jiyuan also found that Zhu Hongsan was not the vulgar and uncivilized he thought, and he was still a little bit fussy. As for the fact that Zhu Hongsan said that Zhang Juzheng's reform was the cause of the current situation of the Ming Dynasty, Ma Jiyuan was amazed. Ma Jiyuan had been a local official, county magistrate, co-magistrate, and magistrate for ten years, so he naturally knew some simple economic theories. At this time, Ma Jiyuan completely believed what his younger brother Ma Mingyuan said to him, and this brother-in-law was very wise and foolish.

Along the way, the relationship between Zhu Hongsan and Ma Jiyuan changed rapidly. In the past, Zhu Hongsan either called his elder brother or father-in-law. Later, Zhu Hongsan saw Ma Jiyuan respectfully called him Mr.

Ma Jiyuan is also increasingly optimistic about Zhu Hongsan, believing that Zhu Hongsan is a royal family, otherwise he can get a good reputation with his intelligence. Ma Jiyuan's title has also gone from being a little bastard, brother-in-law, to his current brother-in-law.

Seeing the two of them having a good honey, someone was anxious to die. It was Tong Yangjia. Tong Yangjia originally thought that Zhu Hongsan's second strategy, but he didn't expect that Ma Jiyuan came out again, so he couldn't make it third (Tong Yangjia didn't know that there was Feng Ziyong in the Ma family). Tong Yangjia looked at Sun, the concubine in the car behind. It seemed that he had to work hard to have a son and must be tied to Zhu Hongsan so that his rights would not be reduced.

When I returned, I didn't cross the Yangtze River by Hanyang. After all, I killed the inspection department guarding the ferry when I came. It was difficult to explain. I took Huangpi from Xiaogan and crossed the Yangtze River opposite Wuchang Prefecture.

Ma Jiyuan stood by the Yangtze River and looked at Wuchang City. He had not been home for ten years.

Zhu Hongsan looked at the rolling Yangtze River, and was inspired for a moment, singing the song "The Rolling Yangtze River Flows East" in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms TV series. Ma Jiyuan listened to it and praised: "My brother, Yang Shen's Linjiang Fairy sang so imposingly."

Zhu Hongsan said: "Yang Shen's words back then, "The country has raised scholars for 150 years, and died of righteousness and righteousness today." This is what he expresses the spirit of a scholar. I wonder if Mr. Yang Sheng'an was so proud of his destiny that he was ready to die?"

Ma Jiyuan laughed and scolded: "Don't provoke me, you guy, just say something."

Zhu Hongsan looked around and said to Ma Jiyuan: "The country is like this, and the emperor has no effect. I see that the fortune of the King of Yan has been exhausted. I have no talent. I want to support the Ming Dynasty and not let Taizu die in the foreign tribes. I don't want the land of China to reappear from the fishy smell of three hundred years ago. I want to ask my husband to help me, but I wonder if he can agree?"

In fact, Ma Jiyuan had thought about this question on the road, and he was not a pedantic person. Seeing that Zhu Hongsan trained so elite troops, and Zhu Hongsan was the one who was the Emperor Gaozu of Han and Ming Taizu (my one was mine, and your one was mine). He had already understood Zhu Hongsan’s plan in his heart, and Zhu Hongsan had the kindness to save his whole family.

Ma Jiyuan thought for a while and said, "Jiyuan is mediocre and mediocre. He has taken such importance to his brother, Jiyuan is willing to work hard for the sake of a dog and a horse. Ma Jiyuan pays homage to his lord." After saying that, he bowed deeply to Zhu Hongsan.

Zhu Hongsan laughed loudly, helped Ma Jiyuan up and said, "With the help of Mr., great achievements are expected."
