Chapter 43:

The sun is flooding the earth, and it is rare to have a good weather in winter. This winter is always overcast, cold and damp, and it will be cold to the bone. The people in the village are thinking about sitting in the square after finishing their work and enjoying the sun. It’s best to take the mattress out and dry it. The south is humid and I always feel that the quilt is also drenched.
Just half an hour after starting work, some gongs rang and echoed in the square.
"Have you heard? There is a drill today and we can all go and watch it."
"Very drill?"
"It's the new group of people, the leader named Chen, who brought the brother of Bai and Twenty to practice with the people here!"
"It's sparring, but don't touch the key points. You can't get up again if you fall on the ground. The weapon is a wooden stick. See who is more powerful."
"Then I have to go and see!"
"I encountered such a terrible thing in the first time!"
Lin Yuan was also sitting on a high hillside, watching Jiang Gui sitting beside him.
As for Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Baisong, they commanded a hundred people to fight each other.
Although there were only a hundred people, Lin Yuan also wanted to see if the numbers on both sides were similar.
Jiang Gui looked at the person below, chewing the fried soybeans with salt, and asked Lin Yuan, "Which side do you see wins?"
Lin Yuan said: "Just look at it and you will know."
Zhu Yuanzhang was only a young man in his twenties, and he hadn't fought any battles. In addition to a small part of theoretical knowledge, Zhu Yuanzhang was led by actual combat training. The actual combat training he experienced was only once or twice. It's a small battle, maybe it's not much different from a group fight with two villages.
But Chen Baisong is different. He can survive by fighting different bandits and bandit villages. He has no theoretical knowledge or even literacy, but he has rich experience.
The more Lin Yuan looked, the more he felt that Zhu Yuanzhang still needed to learn.
In history, Zhu Yuanzhang was just a small soldier at the beginning, and he rushed to the forefront in every battle, leading the way.
All of his experience and decision-making on war came from the experience of passing the ghost gate again and again.
In fact, Lin Yuan also thought that Zhu Yuanzhang might one day not be willing to subdue to others, perhaps one day he will stand on his own.
But Lin Yuan didn't want to never promote Zhu Yuanzhang, or kill him directly.
He was not a person of this era. From the time he came here, his first thought was to save his life.
I don't have a wealth of wealth, I just want to have a place to take care of the original owner's family.
Later, I wanted Zhuangzi to develop his conscience and be self-sufficient.
Now it is the general trend. Zhuangzi now has more than a thousand people, food and money-although it is fake jade, it is an easy-to-eat steamed bun, so he feels that he needs to strengthen his strength to protect himself. Let everyone in Zhuangzi survive.
Lin Yuan lowered his head, he didn't know if he had ambition.
But how many men have no ambitions?
Lin Yuan clenched his fists.
Ambitious is never a mistake. What is wrong is to have ambition, but not enough intelligence to match ambition.
Lin Yuan rubbed his neck and continued to look at the following battle. He thought that he was ready to enter the chaos from the first step.
He can accept the final result no matter what.
Let him take people to join the Red Scarf Army? That's not realistic. The problem with the Red Turban Army lies in internal conflicts. Guo Zixing and Sun Deya fought fiercely internally.
He asked Brother Dao Yang Zi'an, Li Da, and Zhang Shicheng to go to Xinghua. The purpose is that Zhang Shicheng understands Xinghua and makes friends with the salt people at the bottom. Brother Dao and the others can also use this to break into the salt people, and when Han Shantong and the others rebelled, The salt people instigated rebellion internally, and when the time comes, they should cooperate with the outside, and it is not difficult to win Xinghua.
The reason why I didn't talk to Zhang Shicheng is still unbelievable.
He believed in Brother Dao, and he also trusted Yang Zian and Li Da.
Brother Dao is reckless, but he is brotherly loyal. This is a rare personal charm. It is not a problem to call brothers and brothers with salt people. Let alone six or seven months of familiarity, it is estimated that six or seven months will be enough for him to make hundreds of righteous brothers.
Yang Zian has a head. Among the righteous brothers, Yang Zian is the most sober. He can analyze the pros and cons, and he is literate and understands the truth. Yang Zian is the finale at the critical moment.
As for Li Da... it was completely afraid that they would not have enough manpower, and Li Da's wife was still in the Zhuangzi.
Zhang Shicheng's role is just a guide.
And Zhang Shicheng's brothers are still in Zhuangzi.
As for Chen Youliang, Lin Yuan never considered this person from the beginning. Chen Youliang is an independent man and a lonely person. He is similar to Zhu Yuanzhang in the field of tactics, and is a typical example of the truth in the hands of a few people, but he is not as lucky as Zhu Yuanzhang. it is good.
Ambitious, intelligent, but suspicious, can't trust anyone, if he takes refuge in Chen Youliang, Chen Youliang will eventually become emperor.
Lin Yuan touched his neck.
It is estimated that he will lose the head of this item, let alone Brother Dao.
The current plan is to take one step at a time.
Having the armed forces to protect yourself is the most important thing.
"It's almost over." Jiang Gui said from the side.
Lin Yuan concentrated and stared at the battle below.
Chen Baisong won over there, as expected.
Zhu Yuanzhang actually commanded very well, but he was born as an ordinary person on the one hand, and he was born as a gangster on the other. The combat strength of the two sides was completely different.
In addition, Chen Baisong's command was not bad, and Zhu Yuanzhang's defeat was not surprising.
After all, Zhu Yuanzhang has not experienced the baptism of war yet.
The winner can eat meat today.
When Lin Yuan went down, he happened to see Zhu Yuanzhang sitting next to him. He lowered his head so that people could not see his expression clearly.
"What's wrong?" Lin Yuan also sat on the floor, watching Chen Baisong and the others cheering in excitement.
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head with the same smile on his face: "It's nothing. If you lose, you lose."
Lin Yuan asked: "Where did you lose?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was taken aback: "Should we just break the flank in the team?"
...It seems to be right...No!
Lin Yuan said: "You just lack experience. Chen Baisong and the others depended on this for their livelihoods. We suppressed the bandits only once or twice. It is not as normal as they are, and the battle is not only about the commander, but also about The capabilities of soldiers."
"Right?"
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "The owner is right."
Lin Yuan patted him on the shoulder: "Don't be discouraged."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Lin Yuan, and he asked, "My boss, your temper is natural?"
Lin Yuan asked: "What temper?"
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, "I didn't see you lose your temper."
He just thought Lin Yuan was going to reprimand himself.
Lin Yuan reacted and said with a smile: "What is my temper? There is nothing to be angry about."
Zhu Yuanzhang: "You won't be angry if I lose?"
Lin Yuan: "It's better to lose now than to really lose on the battlefield later, right?"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked in a low voice: "I wanted to ask when you asked Brother Dao to go to Xinghua, are you ready to...take Xinghua?"
Lin Yuan knew that Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't be concealed, Zhu Yuanzhang was smart, could be a person, and could do things. He couldn't hide it. He just said, "This is indeed the idea."
Lin Yuan asked him: "Do you want to ask why I didn't ask you to go?"
Zhu Yuanzhang: "Sure enough, I can't hide from the owner, but I also know that the owner can't trust me."
Lin Yuan shook his head: "It's not that I can't believe you. The fewer people who know about this, the better. Even Brother Dao and the others were only asked before I left. If they leave, there must be someone in the village."
Whether Zhu Yuanzhang believes it or not, at least he can't show doubts on his face at this time.
He nodded and said, "The owner is very painstaking."
Lin Yuan said to him: "You are also a battalion commander now, and you have more than 200 people under your hand. I won't say much about anything else. Believe it or not, you can figure it out for yourself."
"I'll pass first." Lin Yuan said to him.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "Go ahead."
Compared with Zhu Yuanzhang’s low morale, the people on Chen Baisong’s side looked much more excited. After they knew that the reward was meat, their expressions became more vivid. They gathered around Chen Baisong and discussed that the meat they got was eaten directly. Just leave a part of it.
As soon as Lin Yuan came over, these bandits moved away-they had already heard that Lin Yuan was a descending from the earth.
And don't know why, they believed it very quickly, Lin Yuan felt that there must be Chen Baisong's handwork in this.
"Unhappy about winning?" Lin Yuan asked Chen Baisong, who was expressionless.
Chen Baisong said: "Victory is not martial."
Lin Yuan smiled: "In a few years, you may not be able to win."
Chen Baisong turned his head and looked at Lin Yuan, his eyes were divine, like wolves and tigers, and his eyes seemed to be shining brightly: "Master, look down upon me?"
Lin Yuan knew that he had said the wrong thing, and said quickly: "I never underestimated it, so let's talk about it later."
Chen Baisong narrowed his gaze now.
The two talked while walking.
"What do you think of Zhu Yuanzhang?" Lin Yuan asked.
Chen Baisong meditated for a moment and said: "Be brave and intent, dare to fight, advance or retreat. Given time, you can be a strong general."
Lin Yuan looked at him strangely when he heard what he said so professional.
Chen Baisong spotted Lin Yuan's gaze and asked, "Why does the young master look at me like this?"
Lin Yuan: "Where did you learn these words?"
Chen Baisong was exposed and frankly admitted: "There is a scholar in my stockade, and that's what he said about me."
Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, and he just said, Chen Baisong doesn't have many words, and he is still a bandit leader. Can he boast so much?
Lin Yuan said: "When you are free, go and talk to Zhu Yuanzhang more. You two can communicate more and learn from each other."
Chen Baisong is not an arrogant person either. He naturally discovered Zhu Yuanzhang's benefits when he first played against him. Now, after hearing Lin Yuan's words, he nodded and said, "Okay."
"Strive to train all the existing 1,000 people." Lin Yuan said, "When the spring starts, I will organize a training."
Chen Baisong asked: "It's really a training?"
Lin Yuan: "It's field training. You can't bring anything except weapons."
Chen Baisong didn't understand, and nodded in a daze.
A thousand people can only go to the deep mountains and old forests for the training. In addition to exercising, the more important thing is to train your mentality. If you encounter bandits and cottages, you can just use it to practice hands.
It can be said to serve multiple purposes.
One and a half months back and forth is almost the same.

"This is Xinghua." Li Congrong looked at the city wall in front of him, without a sigh, "It really is a big city, but it's different from Wucheng."
Li Da said next to him: "How small Wucheng is."
Zhang Jiusi said from the side: "Let's go in first."
Because they were dressed neatly and neatly, and they also gave some money to the soldiers who defended the city, and they said that they had gone to their relatives, it was not difficult to enter the city.
The population migration in the Yuan Dynasty was very convenient. Except for the merchants who needed directions, there were no restrictions on ordinary civilians traveling from north to south.
Zhang Jiusi first took them to find a cheap inn, and then said, "My brothers are all outside the salt field. They must be working now. We will wait for them after dark."
"Okay." Li Congrong agreed, "but I think this Xinghua is really good."
The pedestrians are bustling with people on the road, the vendor stalls are very lively, the rich people in the city live in big houses with lanterns hanging at the door.
Wucheng is a small and remote city with a small population. Even when it is the busiest, it is not as high as Xinghua.
Zhang Jiusi said, "This is just the place where the rich men live."
Xinghua is very rich and poor. The salt people can't even eat enough to eat, but the rich lords are rich.
Zhumen's wine and meat are smelly and the road has frozen bones, which is a true portrayal of Xinghua.
It was salt people for a time, and salt people for the first time.
Generations can't turn around.
It was getting late, Zhang Jiusi took Li Congrong and the others to the place where the salt people lived. Without the big mansion with carved beams and painted buildings, the entrance was a low flat house. The people who came in and out were thinly dressed and could not keep warm in winter. They walked along the road. In a hurry, everyone is bitter.
"Brother Zhao." Zhang Jiusi knocked on the door of a house, and the dilapidated wooden door had long lost its original color.
The person inside shouted and asked: "Who!"
Zhang Jiusi lowered his voice: "It's me, Zhang Jiusi."
The people inside came to open the door.
After the wooden door was opened, a middle-aged man of about 40 appeared in front of Li Congrong and the others, but his temples were already gray, his waist crouched, described as dead wood, his face was deeply wrinkled, and his skin was loose and thin: "Zhang Jiu Si? you are still alive?"
Zhang Jiusi said: "Brother Zhao, let us in first, it is not convenient to talk outside."
Brother Zhao just realized this, and opened the door to let them in.
Seeing Zhang Jiusi, who had been missing for so long, brought three people he had never seen before, Brother Zhao's expression was a little confused.
Zhang Jiu Si chose him for a reason. Because this brother Zhao is a bachelor, he has no father, no mother, and no wives and children. He lives alone. He has enough food and the whole family is not hungry. So he is not worried about others in the family. Apart from making friends in September 4th, there are no other close friends.
Zhang Jiusi knew him well because Zhang Jiusi helped him in the first place and gave him food when he was out of food.
It can be regarded as a life-saving grace.
"They all said, you ran away with someone." Brother Zhao sat on the side of the bed. The room was very small, with only one table, a tattered wooden cabinet and a bed. He greeted Zhang Jiu-Si and the others to come and sit. Everyone said, you must have died outside."
Zhang Jiusi's expression is complicated: "I'm not dead yet."
Brother Zhao smiled and said: "I also know that you have a hard life, and you will definitely not die. Let's go, why are you coming back this time?"
Zhang Jiusi: "Don't talk about this first, I will let you know them first."
Zhang Jiusi introduced Li Congrong and the others, and then asked, "How about the salt people now?"
Brother Zhao sighed and thumped his leg: "What else? It's still the same, after all, no matter how much work I do, I can't eat enough."
Zhang Jiusi became angry when he heard this: "A bunch of doggy things! A black heart."
Brother Zhao smiled bitterly: "What can be done? Isn't it just enduring?"
Zhang Jiusi remembered his purpose, and said quickly: "Brother Zhao, I came back for this! The last time I left, I went to explore the way. A living Bodhisattva descended to the world to the south, but anyone who followed him You can eat and wear warmth. In addition to doing some work, you can work every day at sunrise and rest at sunset, so you don’t have to worry about your livelihood."
"He asked me to come because he heard that there are still many brothers who are the same as me who are suffering, so he asked me to take them back together." Zhang Jiusi puffed up his chest and said, "Brother Zhao, you can't trust others, can you still trust me? ?"
Brother Zhao suspiciously said: "Is there such a good person? Such a good thing?"
Li Dalian hurriedly said: "He is right! Our boss is a good descending to earth!"
Brother Zhao: "Good God?"
What a fairy, I have never heard of it.
Li Da recounted the words circulating in Zhuangzi, and also gave some examples.
Including how the owner took in the refugees, how he struggled with ordinary people who were captured by the cottage, and how he cared for the weak.
It was almost as if Lin Yuan was a decathlon superman.
This brother Zhao, who had been staying in the salt field, was dumbfounded.
He looked at Zhang Jiu-si, and Zhang Jiu-si nodded in agreement, indicating that what Li Da said was true.
"Isn't there a lie?" Brother Zhao asked finally.
Zhang Jiusi quickly said: "If there is a false statement, let me thunder and strike."
Brother Zhao was stunned for a long time, and was overjoyed and sad: "God, there are such people in the world, and they are really gods descending from the earth.
"If you want to leave, there are too many people to go."
Yang Zi'an said at this time: "Before leaving, the boss asked me to stop and wait for him to send a letter."
Brother Zhao and Zhang Jiu Si asked at the same time: "What letter?"
Yang Zi'an eagerly said: "The owner is an immortal descending from the earth. Naturally, there are methods of the immortal. Where can I tell us casually? The owner said that by next May, there will naturally be major changes. This change is our opportunity. "
"He told us to come at this time, just to make the salt people feel at ease. Maybe by then, they can live a good life without leaving their hometown."
Brother Zhao and Zhang Jiusi both looked dumbfounded.
"Wait, you guys." Yang Zi'an said tentatively.
Of course, Yang Zi'an was not talking in empty words. Lin Yuan told him a few more famous changes, all of which had not happened yet. He only needed to say something eloquently, and those who believed would naturally believe them.
Soon, there were rumors among the salt people, and it spread more and more widely.
It is said that there is a descending to the world, born with the heart of a bodhisattva, wherever his fingers point, the land can become fertile, wherever his eyes look, the people can find peace, and the breath of his mouth is all Can make people feel at ease.
And this immortal found out that they, salt people, were suffering here, so he rescued Zhang Jiu-si first-because Zhang Jiu-si was a kind and generous person, he felt that Zhang Jiu-si was a person worth saving, so naturally I think the salt people are also worth saving.
So someone was sent here.
And this is very considerate of them.
In order for them to live a good life on the land where they have been living, they cast a spell to call for a big event to happen in May of this year, so that they can live a good life.
What's the big deal? This is a secret, how can it be leaked?
As for the secret secrets revealed by the people he sent--they were all trivial matters, just to remind the salt people, so the living gods spent their lives and let people leak them out, just to reassure them.
The salt people all believed.
Their lives are too hopeless, and now that they have such a little sustenance, naturally no one has left unbelief.
"Second brother, did the fourth brother really tell you? So accurate?" Li Congrong was also confused now, and he began to believe it.
Yang Zi'an was also shocked. He himself was skeptical at the beginning, but in the end all what Lin Yuan said was fulfilled. He also felt that Lin Yuan might...maybe... is really peculiar, maybe it can be psychic?
Not only Yanmin believes, but also many ordinary people.
But what they believed was different, and what Yang Zian told them was also different from the salt people.
The people believe in Lin Yuan and feel that believing in him can lead a peaceful life.
They also gave Lin Yuan the name "South Bodhisattva".
Because Lin Yuan is in the south.
If they knew that Lin Yuan was from the north, they would be a "North Bodhisattva".
Lin Yuan also didn't expect Yang Zian to have the ability to develop both the salt people and ordinary people into believers.
He became the faith of believers.
The salt people chatted privately, and the topic changed:
"This is only one month, and there are four months left."
"I don't know what the big thing is, I'm anxious waiting."
"Nowadays, I can endure how the salt governors yell at me. Just wait, wait, we can live a good life."
Someone also asked: "So Nan Bodhisattva is so god?"
"It's a god, you don't know, the people he sent to pinch, there is nothing wrong, different from the liar."
"Furthermore, who is Zhang Jiu Si? He won't lie to us, he also said, that Nan Bodhisattva is a fairy character, and the people he brought over are now delicious and delicious, and they don't live much."
Because of Zhang Jiu Si and Yang Zian's "prophecy" ability, the salt people and the people were particularly convinced.
Some people even squeezed a statue of Lin Yuan out of mud, and gave some water and food every day.
Later, the spread became more and more outrageous. In less than three months, even the wealthy in Xinghua began to believe it.
Especially the female families.
Because some people say that the South Bodhisattva can bless the birth of children, and can also win a man in one fell swoop.
In particular, there is a female believer who gave birth in just one month after believing in religion. Not only did she give birth quickly, she was really a baby boy.
There are even more people who believe.
The unsuccessful birth is not a baby boy. It must be a lack of pious belief, and it is definitely not the problem of Nan Bodhisattva.
Otherwise, other people can do it, can't you?
After the female family members believed, the male protagonists began to be suspicious.
At this time, some people said that the South Bodhisattva is the omnipotent god, who can bless the weather and the rain, and the land is fertile.
The farmers began to believe.
When the officials in Xinghua found out, the wind had blown all over Taizhou, not just Xinghua.

Lin Yuan: "???"
Thank you for those who don’t know the truth about eating melons, eating noodles, dongwait, cute fire, and arrogant mines
