Wang Heihu's actions, which he thought were cool, were just a meaningless roar in the eyes of the villagers who had narrowly escaped death.
Daming?
What the hell?
Can it be eaten?
Or is it some new bandit? Known as the Ming Dynasty?
How come these damned people never stop dying!
Wang Heihu turned back and looked at the confused eyes of this group of people. He was not unfamiliar at all. Before joining the Ming Dynasty, or in the past few years, every time he established a new territory, he would encounter such confused people.
At first glance, you will hate their numbness, ignorance, ignorance, and slowness, and you would like to whip them with a whip, feeling sorry for their misfortune and angry at them for not fighting.
But if you carefully understand their situation, ask about their life experiences, and know their experiences, if you still don't feel sympathy, then you have a moral problem.
Who doesn't want to be happy and smile... Unfortunately, the cruel life has deprived them of the right to laugh and even think.
Wang Heihu didn't want to say anything more... He walked around and found several swords and two bows, both left by the bandits.
He also managed to find a few young and clever people among the people, and asked them to hold weapons, so as to arm themselves.
Then Wang Heihu led them to the red flag.
"kneel!"
The first time he shouted, several people didn't respond, so he had to yell loudly. As a result, two guys were so frightened that they threw away their weapons, hugged their heads, and fell to the ground.
Wang Heihu was so angry that he almost fell over. He could only kick the two men up and ask them to follow his example, kneel down on one knee and salute to the flag.
No need to ask, except for Wang Heihu, everyone else was doing poorly. There was no other way but to put the duck on the shelf. Wang Heihu led a few of them and found some grain stored by the bandits.
He also brought a big pot and cooked rice on the spot.
When the fragrance of rice wafted out, the numb crowd finally made some movement. Some young and strong people pushed forward and tried to snatch the food. However, Wang Heihu was too powerful for them to defeat, so they could only wait and wait.
As a result, everyone who rushed to the front was met with Wang Heihu's iron fist.
"You useless thing, just thinking about yourself? There are so many people behind you? That is your mother, your father, your brothers and sisters! Beat you shameless bunch to death!"
This group of people were beaten until their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen, but they did not dare to run away. After all, this was the only place where they could still get something to eat... Wang Heihu was also helpless.
Prime Minister Zhang repeatedly told himself to be close to the people and treat them well.
As a result, I hit people as soon as I got up, which completely violated my husband's teachings, but what can I do? I can't do it without beating!
After everyone finished eating, Wang Heihu immediately called a few people and asked them to lead him to find other bandit lairs.
In the days that followed, Wang Heihu continued to eliminate bandits, rescued the people, and distributed the stolen money, food, weapons, and cloth to everyone.
In the first few times, Wang Heihu took matters into his own hands, and the young people were only responsible for leading the way.
But gradually, they gained courage and followed Wang Heihu.
At first they just wanted to drive away the bandits, take advantage, and get some supplies.
Later, when there were more people, we simply surrounded them, captured them, and kept them in hiding.
After capturing the prisoners, after a roar from Wang Heihu, they tremblingly joined his team and became Wang Heihu's subordinates.
Not to mention, these prisoners worked harder and were much better than the villagers.
In this way, after more than a month of work, the territory under Wang Heihu's control has grown from one village to more than a dozen villages, with three to four hundred soldiers and horses under his command. Counting the old, weak, women and children, there are not more than two thousand, which is about the same.
.
This is no longer a village community, it is completely a town.
Wang Heihu felt that he should ask for instructions from his superiors, and at the same time, he should make it clear to the people and tell them the court's intention.
Therefore, Wang Heihu ordered that everyone gather together to announce something important.
After receiving the order, all the people were excited, and many of the young people even caught roosters, and they didn't know where they got the yellow paper.
Some people also brought incense burners from the ruined temple... These are all vital things. Next, we swear to the heavenly alliance, drink chicken blood wine, then gather our troops, rush into Dadu, and kill the emperor.
Lord Tiger!
We all support you to ascend the throne and proclaim yourself emperor, do it!
People rushed over excitedly and talked about their ideas. As soon as they waited for Master Hu to nod, we gathered together and rebelled against him!
Wang Heihu, who had always been calm and confident, was afraid for the first time, and his legs became weak.
"You bastards want to kill me! I am not a hero, I am an official of the Ming Dynasty! Official, do you understand? I came here on the order of the emperor!"
Wang Heihu could only try his best to explain to everyone... Let everyone understand that there is now a new court called Daming! He was sent by Daming to help everyone.
People say they are emotionally stable, so you better stop lying.
After all, the imperial court has people who help the people, but it is nonsense to say that the imperial court helps the people.
Wang Heihu explained for a long time, but the people were still hesitant.
Only then did he fully understand that no wonder Zhang Xiang's method, which sounded so perfect, could not be implemented.
Regarding the situation among the people, if you tell them, borrow some money, buy farm tools and seeds, and then pay back the principal after the autumn harvest, and the court will help you pay back the interest, then you can live a good life... These people will only think that you are out of your mind.
Already.
If you still want to implement national policies, go ahead and dream!
Wang Heihu didn't read much. If he knew that in the Northern Song Dynasty, someone tried to implement the Green Seedling Law when the grassroots level was in ruins, he would definitely be in awe.
If we have a little bit of brains, we will know that this cannot be done.
But the wonderful thing about this is that it actually took place for a period of time.
This is outrageous!
I can only lament the excellent matching mechanism of the Northern Song Dynasty Chaotang.
After Wang Heihu collected his thoughts, he could only ask for support from the nearby yamen, preferably veterans who came down with him, and a few more would be best. He couldn't manage so many people.
Wang Heihu then divided his men into groups. While continuing to fight against the bandits and retain the fruits of victory, he also registered and compiled the population and land into an atlas to understand the situation.
Soon, Wang Heihu, who can write very quickly, will have to teach a bunch of guys who can't read to write.
He would also find time to hold a class, probably in the threshing floor, under the willow tree, lighting a bonfire, chatting with everyone, and explaining various principles.
Anyway, I heard it in the army. Wang Heihu tried hard to talk, and the people also tried hard to listen, and everything went smoothly.
There is only one question that always puzzles Wang Heihu, and that is that there are always people who come close to him and express their loyalty to him. Everyone is willing to work with you, so don't talk about the Ming Dynasty. We rebelled and entered Dadu. You will be the emperor and we will be.
The founding hero, sitting on the dragon's throne, with three palaces and six courtyards, how majestic it is!
The people persisted in persuading people to come in. It was not until more than ten days later that the first batch of veterans came over. There were seven of them. They helped establish the rules and get all the work running.
The people gradually accepted that there really was a Ming Dynasty... Wang Heihu, who seemed to be omnipotent and like a god, was really just an ordinary member of the Ming Dynasty. There were countless people as powerful as him.
And the Ming Dynasty seemed to be really kind to them, sending farm tools, cattle, and seeds... That's right, Wang Heihu didn't dare to talk to everyone about borrowing money or interest.
Because he felt that explaining to the people at this time would only scare them.
However, the imperial court could not suffer a loss. It was not from suppressing bandits these years. He got some money, silk, satin, and cloth from the thieves' dens. Wang Heihu didn't care how much it was, he scraped it together, and handed it over at a discount.
Anyway, he only wanted ten cows, but the court gave him twenty cows and a plow.
It's hard to say who suffered the loss and who took advantage... Anyway, the land leveling and wasteland cultivation have been implemented, and the people's enthusiasm is very high.
It was difficult for Wang Heihu to explain his complicated feelings clearly... He originally wanted to disband his troops and return to his fields, but ended up leading people to fight again. He thought he didn't have to kill anymore, but ended up killing more people these days than he did in the army.
He wanted to be kind to the people, but in the end he had to lead them to risk their lives and beat them with a whip.
The imperial court issued loans in the hope of providing initial capital to restore people's livelihood.
But speaking of it, his first fight was actually stolen from him.
What is this?
Black eat black?
But he was also called Wang Heihu... He couldn't figure out whether what he did was right or wrong, and maybe not many people could tell clearly.
He could only write a letter to Mr. Zhang by candlelight, stroke by stroke, hoping that the omnipotent Mr. Zhang could give him, a bad student, an answer.
And just when Wang Heihu was writing the letter, a woman sneaked into Wang Heihu's tent and climbed into his bed...
Wang Heihu roared and told her to get out of here, why was she so shameless?
Face?
Can it be eaten?
You are the strongest, and there is no woman around you now. I don’t care if you have a wife, I just want to accompany you, serve you, and help you relieve your boredom. Whenever you don’t want her, just drive me away.
Don't worry, I won't embarrass you.
Don't worry!
Wang Heihu knew very well what this woman was thinking. Don't tell them about shame. They just want to survive, and at the moment, relying on a strong person is the best way.
But the problem is that I don’t want to!
I also thought about the bright matchmaker getting married, and thinking about blowing the whistle, just like Zhang Xiang did.
Moreover, I still have some ideas... I am in charge of more than two thousand people now. If there are more, it is not impossible to become a county magistrate.
The worst he can do is guard thousands of households!
After all, leading an army with thousands of households requires taking a math test, but guarding does not.
I can't ruin it on you!
Wang Heihu had no choice but to persuade the woman to leave, and selected a few guards to keep an eye on the tent so that nothing like this would happen again.
After taking care of the trivial matters, Wang Heihu finally sent the letter to Zhang Ximeng... Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of a situation.
Ten years ago, when His Majesty raised the army, would he have encountered similar difficulties?
Did you also ask Mr. Zhang to help solve the problem at that time?
Heroes and heroes are common, but Mr. Zhang is not common!
