According to Li Zicheng's introduction, this Tian Jianxiu is his fellow villager in Mizhi County, Shaanxi Province, and he was once a scholar. Hao Yaoqi's real name is Hao Yongzhong, because he once served as a flag officer and was very brave in battle. He has never lost anything before, so he got the nickname "good at waving the flag"
With Hua Bushi's eyes, he could tell that although Tian Jianxiu was not a top martial arts expert, he could be considered a master both internally and externally in the arena. Hao Yaoqi was obviously the kind of fierce man with great natural strength. As long as people of this kind practice some simple guns and sticks and charge into battle on the battlefield, they can become a brave general who can defeat a hundred.
Li Zicheng chuckled and said: "There are rumors outside that I, Li Chuang, will be a Tota. King Li Tian has come down to earth and has four great Vajra protectors under his command. That's the two of them. Plus you have already met Li Guo. These four Vajra Stone brothers have already known each other." Three”
The so-called king of heaven descends to earth to protect the Dharma is a ridiculous rumor. Among the three people, only Hao Yaoqi, who is tall and strong and has a "Ting Chao" pavilion, is the fastest updated, and the color of the whole coal has a bit of a king's appearance. When I saw Xiu in Wada, one was handsome and the other was gentle, but he didn’t look like King Kong.
Hua Bushi said: "But I don't know who there is another King Kong who I haven't known yet"[
Tian Jianxiu said: "That's Liu Zongmin. Brother Liu happens to be collecting grain near Luoyang Mansion. If he is not in the village, his martial arts and abilities are much higher than the three of us. If we say King Kong, only he can be considered a king."
When he said this, both Hao Yaoqi and Li Guo were standing aside, but there was no hint of dissatisfaction on their faces. This shows that Liu Zongmin is indeed the number one general under Li Zicheng.
Li Zicheng introduced Tian Hao, the second general, Hua Bushi, Ximen Tong, Lihu, Yang Jiangyi, Chu Yiyi and others also introduced them one by one. For a while, everyone greeted each other and it was very lively.
When Yang Jiangyi was introduced, Li Zicheng smiled and said: "Last time, there was a fairy-like Miss Shen San beside Brother Shi in Wuyang City. Now in Henan, there is this flower-like Snow Girl accompanying Brother Shi. Brother Shi is very blessed." Let Haosheng, who is an elder brother, feel envious and feel inferior to himself."
Even though Hua Bushi was thick-skinned, his face could not help but sneer at this moment: "How can my talent and appearance compare to that of a great hero like Brother Hongji? It's a joke."
Li Zicheng, however, patted Hua Bushi hard on the shoulder and laughed loudly: "It is natural for a woman to like a good man like Brother Shi who is both wise and brave. There is no need to worry about being a brother. What I just said was just a joke. In fact, your sister-in-law has a very good appearance." It’s also very good. When we get to the cottage, I’ll ask her to come out and let Brother Shi see her.”
Amid the chatter and laughter, everyone mounted their horses. Li Zicheng and Hua Bushi rode side by side and headed towards Biluo Mountain.
The pomp and circumstance set up to welcome Hua Bushi and Li Zicheng this time is really quite big.
Not only did he personally lead General Tian Hao and hundreds of soldiers down the mountain for thirty miles, he also set up a colorful shed five miles along the way, built a large colorful shed ten miles away, and hired many drummers. Colorful flags are flying, gongs and drums are noisy, and trumpets and suonas are playing "Zhi Zhi Ya Ya". It is simply much more lively than a wealthy family marrying a bride.
However, other people are getting married in the city. It is even more rare for Biluo Mountain to be able to put on such a show even though it is a wilderness.
Li Zicheng saw little Ningning and Hua Bushi riding on the same horse and curled up in the young master's arms. He found it interesting and said: "Ningning, you are a girl, but you are lying on my brother's body. Aren't you ashamed?"
Xiao Ningning's face turned red but she said: "I am Brother Shi's wife and that's why I want him to hold me."
Li Zicheng laughed and said: "It turns out that you are my younger brother and sister. When did you get married?"
Xiao Ningning said seriously: "We haven't gotten married yet, but I will marry him in the future."
Li Zicheng smiled even more heartily and said: "How can it be so easy for someone like my brother to match him? What skills do you have if you want to marry him?"
Little Ningning is only nine years old. How can she have any talent? She blushed and thought for a long time before Qi Ai said: "Ningning can sing."
Li Zicheng pretended to be surprised and said: "Oh, singing is also an amazing skill. Please sing one for me to listen to. If you really sing well, I will allow you to marry my brother Shi."
Anyone who sees a fairy-like girl like Xiao Ningning will fall in love with her and want to tease her. Even Li Chuangjiang is no exception.
But Xiao Ningning took it seriously and pursed her lips and said: "Okay, then Ningning will have to keep his word if he sings Uncle Li."[
Li Zicheng smiled and said: "Uncle Li always keeps his word."
Xiao Ningning took out the two bamboo boards from her arms and banged them. She cleared her voice and sang: "Standing in the dangerous building, leaning against the wind, looking carefully at the extremely dark spring sky... the color of the grass and the lingering light of the smoke. Li Yan, who would rely on his will..."
/
"I plan to get drunk and sing songs to repay the savagery... The clothes are getting wider and wider, but I don't regret that I am so haggard..."
This song "Die Lian Hua" is the most popular Chinese ditty nowadays. Xiao Ningning has listened to it many times in the teahouse and thinks she is the best at learning to sing it. At this time, she sang it with all her heart, although her childish voice could not express the meaning of the lyrics. The artistic conception is crisp and pleasant, and it is also very pleasant to listen to.
After listening to it, Li Zicheng shook his head repeatedly and said: "No, no, no, this song makes people haggard. How can I make my brother Shi happy? Uncle Li will teach you to sing one. If you learn to sing well, you will definitely make me stone." My brother was very happy after hearing this and said that he would marry you immediately as his wife."
Xiao Ningning bit her lower lip and said, "Really?"
Li Zicheng smiled and said: "Of course it can't be fake. Are you willing to learn?"
Xiao Ningning's face was flushed and her head was buried lower but she nodded.
Li Zicheng said: "You have to listen carefully. If you can't learn it, you can't blame me."
When he saw that Xiao Ningning was looking at him with her eyes wide open and listening with all her heart, he coughed twice and raised his throat and sang loudly:
"Monkey boy, monkey boy, he lifted a brick and hit monkey boy's toe... Monkey boy, if you don't cry, I will marry you a beautiful wife..."
"My wife, Ada, sleeps in a cow trough. What kind of bunk do I have to put on, a dustpan, a sieve, and a pillow? The pillow rolls with hammers and hammers until my bones are rolling, my wife is a monkey, and my wife is snoring in her sleep."
Before he finished singing, he only heard a loud "bang" sound, but it was a big gong that was opening the way in front of the team that was broken.

Hua Bushi has seen the "Tieshui Villa", which is built on the mountain, and the "Black Dragon City", which uses stone mountains to lay out many mechanisms for ambushes. The "Eagle Wing Fort" he designed and built was also built with the help of The natural terrain of the two mountains makes the defense stronger
Biluo Village is different from these fortresses.
Biluo Mountain was originally a towering mountain. There are many steep and precipitous places on the mountain. If these terrains were used to build fortifications, the mountain village would be easy to defend and difficult to attack. However, the current Biluo Mountain Village does not use the mountain tops but starts from the foot of the mountain. Not far up, at a not-so-sharp spot, a wooden wall was built to almost enclose the entire hillside.
Therefore, Biluo Village is more like a huge village than Green Forest Village where soldiers and horses are stationed.
Hua Bushi was proficient in this way and could see the disadvantages of this at a glance. This is because the defense of the fortress, in addition to occupying high places to take advantage of the situation to resist the enemy, is more important to minimize the positions where the opponent can directly attack Guqiao and the mountains.
The reason why the pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack is that no matter how many enemy troops there are, it can only attack one point. The defenders only need to use the terrain to hold on to the key points, so that one man can hold the pass and ten thousand men can't open it.
From the proficiency of Li Guo's soldiers in fighting, we knew that Li Zicheng was not an ordinary leader of the rebel army. He should have known this before he had doubts about the young master at the foot of the mountain. However,
As soon as he entered the village, he immediately understood Li Zicheng's intention in building Biluo Village.
Because only in this way can there be enough space for the refugees to live and live. There are more than 10,000 residents in Biluo Village. Hundreds of houses have been built with earthen wood and thatched towers on the gentle hillside. The entire village is a very extreme place.
big village
If the village is built on the top of a mountain, although it can take advantage of the mountain to make the camp easy to defend and difficult to attack, it cannot protect the refugees on the hillside. Therefore, only by building walls along the hillside can all the houses of these refugees be enclosed [
After entering the gate of the village, people rode horses and passed between the houses. It can be seen that most of the residents are women, children and the elderly.
Li Zicheng said: "These refugees are all fleeing to Henan from all directions. Most of them, young and strong, have joined the rebel army. Living here are their parents, wives and children. The current world makes it difficult for everyone to survive. They have no choice but to live here."
Since they rebelled and defected to me, Li Hongji would lead them to find a way to survive."
Rebellion is a serious crime that involves killing one's head and destroying one's family. If it were a peaceful and prosperous time and everyone could live a safe life, who would take the risk?
Even though Hua Bushi knew the sufferings of the people before in Hunan Province, he had never had such a personal experience. This time in Yuyu Province, he saw with his own eyes the hungry and impoverished people along the way, the escapees and You Shilu who were always struggling on the edge of life and death.
It was only then that the imperial general, who treated the lives of refugees as if they were objects and killed them at will, had a profound understanding of the meaning of the so-called government forcing the people to rebel.
Li Zicheng added: "Others say that our rebels rebelled in order to get rich and become the emperor. Fuck, don't you want to get rich? But I really want to be the so-called emperor. If Li Hongji becomes the emperor, he will be better than Zhu Youjian."
The first thing to do is to kill all the corrupt and evil officials who rob the people of their wealth and distribute their property and fields to the poor. Then everyone will not have to pay taxes and food, they will be able to have enough to eat, marry a wife and live a peaceful life.
