Chapter 31:

Brother Dao and Zhu Chongba returned with the people intact, which greatly boosted the spirit of the people in Zhuangzi. They took away forty people and brought back forty-eight. The original forty people were only a few. Suffering minor injuries, not even serious injuries, even Lin Yuan was a little surprised.
"It scared me to death!" As soon as Brother Dao came back, he showed his true shape. While drinking the rice wine that Lin Yuan finally saved, he said how they found the coal: "There are too many people guarding the iron mine. We only have four. Ten people are tantamount to hitting rocks with pebbles."
After speaking, he paused for a while and asked Lin Yuan, "Is it right to hit a rock with a pebble?"
Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Yes, Brother Dao is right."
Brother Dao became proud: "We didn't dare to go there, but we remembered the seat. By the way, Chongba still drew that picture."
Zhu Chongba only cared about eating meat, then looked up and said, "Yu Tu."
"Yutu?" Lin Yuan and Yang Zian spoke almost simultaneously.
A map is a map, and it is very important in any era. The map must draw the surrounding landscapes and the ups and downs of important geographic positions. The map cannot be drawn by anyone.
Zhu Zhongba licked the oil from the corner of his mouth, and said to Lin Yuan, "The painting is simple."
Lin Yuan: "Let me see."
Zhu Chongba took the map drawn on the cloth to Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan watched for a while--
"What is this point?"
Zhu Chongba explained: "That's a mountain."
Lin Yuan: "Where is this larger ink dot?"
Zhu Chongba explained: "The bigger mountain."
Lin Yuan: "This is a river, right? I can see it."
Zhu Chongba: "...There are more snakes in that patch."
It seems that this map is really only understood by Zhu Chongba. Lin Yuan said: "I'll redraw it. Chongba will explain it to me."
Without Zhu Chongba to explain, I really couldn't understand it.
Lin Yuan suddenly said: "Chong Ba, I have an idea."
The room was quiet, everyone knew that what Lin Yuan was going to say must be an important thing, Lin Yuan's expression was very serious, and he rarely looked like this in front of others.
Zhu Chongba also put down his chopsticks, he stood up and stood in front of Lin Yuan: "Don't worry about the boss."
"I am going to draw a hundred people out." Lin Yuan said, "training."
Everyone was silent, Jiang Gui said softly: "Private soldiers...this...if it is the court..."
Lin Yuan said: "We are off the beaten track here, and the court can't separate the energy to stare at us now. What's more, now that we have vine armor and weapons, it is time to train.
Zhu Chongba was the first person to react. He clasped his fist and said, "Don't dare not follow the boss's trust."
Lin Yuan helped Zhu Chongba with his hand: "Let's call the Tiger Leopard team, you will be the captain."
Yang Zi'an suddenly coughed slightly.
Lin Yuan understood what he meant, but still said to Zhu Chongba: "Chongba, how about a different name?"
Zhu Chongba looked at Lin Yuan strangely.
Lin Yuan said, "I have a gift for you."
"How about Zhu Yuanzhang?"
For some reason, Zhu Chongba was silent, but in the time of a cup of tea, he looked at Lin Yuan again, but his eyes were completely different. It was a gaze full of sharp killing intent, but the killing intent was not aimed at Lin Yuan.
"What the owner means, I understand that one day, all the dog thieves will be killed!"
Except for Yang Zian, the other people were all confused by Monk Zhang Er.
Brother Dao asked Yang Zi'an in a low voice, "Second brother, is there anything special about this name?"
Yang Zian said softly: "Zhu Yuanzhang, take the homonym of "Zhu Yuan Zhizhang"."
Just why did the fourth brother have such high hopes for Zhu Yuanzhang?
Yang Zi'an was puzzled, standing outside Lin Yuan's door at night, wondering whether he should knock on Lin Yuan's door.
"Second Brother Yang is standing here and doing a lot." Er Liang happened to come over with the footwasher. He opened the door and shouted at Lin Yuan, "Young Master, Brother Yang has something to do with you."
So Yang Zian, who was hesitating, could only walk into Lin Yuan’s room. The room was burning with carbon. The window was half open. After winter, the carbon burned in summer and autumn finally became useful. Lin Yuan carefully ordered people to burn. The window must be open when the charcoal is in use, otherwise it will kill people.
The people in Zhuangzi didn't know why, they always listened to Lin Yuan's words very much, and asked them to do what they did, never thinking about it.
Lin Yuan sometimes feels that they live a very easy life. They don't think about anything. They just do what the owner calls it, as long as they don't worry about what to eat tomorrow.
Those who need to think are alone.
Hey.
"Fourth brother." Yang Zian asked about the doubts in his mind after the two and two left. "I know the importance of military training, but why should Zhu Chongba be the captain? After all, this person has just arrived, and I can't see him. The depth, if you call Dao brother the right, he is the deputy?"
Lin Yuan sighed again, how could he not have Yang Zian's concerns?
But the problem is that Zhu Yuanzhang, before he became an emperor, was an excellent and incomparable military strategist.
Only Chen Youliang can compare with Zhu Yuanzhang.
It's just that Zhu Yuanzhang's luck is better than Chen Youliang.
Compared with being an emperor, he has a stronger advantage in the field of warfare. Many people say that the truth is in the hands of a few people, but there are not many such cases, but Zhu Yuanzhang can interpret the meaning of this sentence with real people.
In many important battles he experienced, Zhu Yuanzhang's decision-making went against almost everyone, but the facts proved that his choice was right.
Lin Yuan's worries is that if Brother Dao is right, then at a critical moment, he denies Zhu Yuanzhang's suggestion because of the opinions of most people, and the consequences will be disastrous.
Now I can only go one step at a time.
He didn't know whether Zhu Yuanzhang would become Guo Zixing's subordinates like in history, but now, he has no better choice.
If Zhu Yuanzhang really wants to leave, he doesn't know what he will do.
Lin Yuan rushed to Yang Zian and said: "A step is a step."
Although Yang Zian didn't know what Lin Yuan was thinking, he could see Lin Yuan's determination from Lin Yuan's eyes.
"Fourth brother." Yang Zi'an sat aside and sighed helplessly, "Why are you so impatient?"
Lin Yuan was stunned.
What should he say? It is now nine years until the Zhengzheng period, and there are two years left before the Liu Futong uprising. At this time, Fang Guozhen has fallen to the Yuan Dynasty and is waiting for the opportunity to resurrect. Xu Shouhui also revolted two years later.
Time waits for no one, and the days of turmoil are just around the corner.
If there is no armed force, how can one gain a foothold in troubled times?
"My second brother probably doesn't know about Fang Guozhen." Lin Yuan said, "Last year, a person named Cairantou turned against Yuan. Someone reported that Fang Guozhen was in collusion with this person. Fang Guozhen killed this person and fled into the sea. Thousands of people revolted and seized the seaborne food."
Yang Zian naturally didn't know about this, he looked at Lin Yuan intently: "What then?"
Lin Yuan said again: "He captured the province's participation in politics, please drop."
"Nowadays, the second brother has ever heard folk folk songs?" Lin Yuan suddenly turned his head.
Yang Zi'an: "What?"
Lin Yuan: "The sky is high, the emperor is far away, the people are few and the others are fair, and we fight three times a day.
Yang Zian repeated this folk song, and finally sighed leisurely: "Yuan Dynasty, the momentum is exhausted, the general trend is gone."
"There will only be more and more people raising the anti-flag." Lin Yuan looked at Yang Zian seriously, "We will certainly also raise the flag."
Yang Zi'an: "Fourth brother, if you have something to order, if you blink your eyes for your brother, you will not be called Yang Zi'an."
Now that it has been decided to train an armed force, the capital must be spent.
Lin Yuan didn't expect anything from an army of 100 people.
Recruitment must be done, but not now, what we need to do now is to improve our military strength.
The number of people is the key determining factor.
Today, there are 140 middle-aged men in Zhuangzi, but Zhuangzi still has to grow food, which also requires manpower.
Lin Yuan felt that there were fewer people.
He said to Yang Zian, "Second brother, I have to let someone go out."
He has to find someone.
Yang Zi'an: "Where to go?"
Lin Yuan stood with his hand in his hand, looking into the distance outside the window.
"Taizhou Xinghua."
He wanted to find Zhang Shicheng and find the "eighteen poles" in historical records.
Zhang Shicheng should still be in the salt field at this time.
Lin Yuan wanted to accumulate strength, and when necessary, attack Xinghua.
And Zhang Shicheng is the guide.
Zhang Shicheng should still be under oppression at this time, living in the crevices, and the possibility of taking them away is very high.
"Who is calling?" Yang Zian said suddenly, "You can't go."
Lin Yuan also knew that he could not go now.
Once he goes, Zhuangzi will be messed up.
After all, the people in Zhuangzi don't know why, they seem to just listen to him.
"I'll go." Yang Zian stood up, "Although I don't know why you value Zhu Chongba so much, so that you know, Yang Zian is not a person who eats rice."
Lin Yuan was also having a headache for the candidate. Now Yang Zian took the initiative to stand up. After thinking about it for a while, he really felt that Yang Zian was the most suitable candidate.
If nothing else, Yang Zian has a culture!
And he is not a nerd, and more importantly, Yang Zian knows how to work around.
Lin Yuan: "Second brother, I will leave this to you."
"At that time, remember to go to Baijuchang and find a person named Zhang Shicheng. It is best if you can bring it back."
Yang Zi'an: "What is special about this person?"
Lin Yuan didn't know how to explain, so he could only say, "We had a relationship many years ago. I think he is not doing well now."
Now Yang Zian understood.
He felt that Lin Yuan had a kind heart attack again, but Yang Zian was also used to it.
In short, this answer fooled Yang Zian.
Since it is said to train the army, naturally I have to arrange it. More than one hundred and forty middle-aged men have picked out a hundred people. Although there is no iron making yet, they include the machete brought back by Yang Zi'an before the bandit, as well as Brother Dao and Zhu Yuanzhang. The looted weapons are enough to equip these people.
Training soldiers is not a simple matter. Lin Yuan doesn't know much. In modern times, he also knew that soldiers need to do physical training, as well as discipline and obedience.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang is a general, but now Zhu Yuanzhang is only just getting started. The most he cares about is probably the cattle of the landlord’s house. It’s the first time to manage people. Although he is ambitious, after a few days, he still doesn’t care. Come out of it.
After all, these people are either wanderers or farmers, have never worked as soldiers, and don't know what discipline is.
So Lin Yuan could only go into battle on his own, anyway, according to the book, it is of course the best to succeed.
The first thing you need to practice is obedience, first there is obedience, and then there is everything after that.
Standing on the erected platform, Lin Yuan said to the person below: "When I shouted, you rushed to the place where I pointed, understand?!"
The person below shouted: "Understood!"
All right... Regardless of whether they understand it or not, as long as they understand the gestures.
Lin Yuan basically told them to rush everywhere this day.
At the end of the rush, the group of people lost their energy and sat slumped on the ground, but they were forced to shout by Brother Dao and Yang Zian, and continued to run.
It was the same the next day, for a week in a row.
In the second week, when Lin Yuan raised his hand, everyone would stare at his hand. When he pointed to a certain place, they had rushed past without giving a command.
Obedience is actually difficult to cultivate. What Lin Yuan is doing now is to make them conditioned.
The body completes instructions before the brain.
Then they were asked to take up weapons, but their target was the immobile stump.
They cut down which way Lin Yuan pointed, until the stump was cut down.
With such daily mechanical training, the obedience of these people has increased a lot.
Zhu Yuanzhang and Lin Yuan were sitting together, and the two were chatting under the night sky, but they were very leisurely and elegant. Zhu Yuanzhang asked: "My boss, how did you come up with it?"
Why didn't he expect it?
Lin Yuan thought for a while and said, "It seems from the book."
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened: "Does the book still say this?"
Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Sun Tzu's Art of War."
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed: "I often hear people mention it, but it's rare to see it."
In this era, books are luxury goods, monopolized by the upper class, and the people below don't even know the words, let alone study.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang is literate, he learned his handwriting in the Huangjue Temple. Naturally, there is no military book in the books in the temple.
The importance of military books does not need to be repeated. As long as those in power with normal minds in the past dynasties, they will not allow such books to spread among the people.
Lin Yuan said: "Everyone has a place for everyone. The court is in charge of this. It's normal."
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't understand: "Why?"
Lin Yuan: "In the past dynasties, there have been many people who emphasized literature over military affairs, why?"
Zhu Yuanzhang seriously thought for a while: "If there is no war from Wu, it is difficult to make meritorious achievements."
Lin Yuan smiled and said: "During the Taiping period, there were only a few who were strong in force, but most emperors started on the battlefield, and they were afraid that they would be overthrown by newcomers just like they overthrew the previous dynasty.
"However, like the Song Dynasty, there is money and food, but pigs and sheep to be slaughtered."
"If there are many scholars, you will be stable."
Zhu Yuanzhang was puzzled: "Many scholars do not produce, rely on ancestral assets for their livelihoods, and they may not be able to be officials with family support. What is this for?"
Lin Yuan remembered that he had seen this question before, and there was an explanation from the great below, so he drew a gourd dipper: "Students, they are not working hard, and the grains are not divided, so they can't hold a hoe, so what rebellion? They don’t have to produce. As long as they read books, cultivate the land, and trade, the world can be peaceful."
"If you are the emperor, can you tolerate the emergence of many people below?" Lin Yuan asked again, "if you are the emperor, you would not be afraid that someday these people would gather to overthrow you?"
"The people above treat the people as cattle and sheep."
"Officials act as shepherd dogs."
"The emperor is the owner of the sheep dog."
Lin Yuan smiled at Zhu Yuanzhang: "In fact, this statement is correct."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan also said: "The benevolence of the superior is sometimes cruel. The country is a huge sheepfold. Everyone is doing his own thing, and it is naturally peaceful."
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly asked: "My boss, do you also think of Zhuangzi as a sheepfold?"
Lin Yuan was taken aback, he looked at the night sky in a daze, shaking his head and sighing, "If there is such a day, I won't be me."
The emperor is a tiger, and a mountain has never tolerated two tigers, so how many emperors cut off the old men who followed them after they came to power.
"Go back to sleep." Lin Yuan stood up.
Zhu Yuanzhang also stood up: "My boss, I have one last question."
Lin Yuan: "Ask."
Zhu Yuanzhang: "Why call me the captain of the Tigers and Leopards? Isn't Brother Dao more appropriate?"
Lin Yuan said, "Brother Dao has another seat. As for why you are called to be the captain, you will understand later. I only hope that the day you know is not the day you leave."
Zhu Yuanzhang was even more puzzled: "Leave?"
Lin Yuan smiled and said: "It's too early to say this."
After saying this, Lin Yuan patted Zhu Yuanzhang on the shoulder and walked towards the house.
Only Zhu Yuanzhang stood alone under the night sky.
In the staff dormitory, Li Da, who had been tired for a day, rubbed his feet and complained, "God knows that being a soldier is so tired."
The roommate next to him was just as tired as he was. He didn't want to move while lying on the bed: "At any rate, I have enough food and I don't need to do other work. I heard that the soldiers don't have much food."
"We won't fight with people?" Li Da asked suddenly.
The people in the dormitory are silent.
After a while, someone said: "A soldier is called a soldier because he wants to fight."
Li Da was taken aback: "I still want to farm, I don't want to go to war."
Someone laughed at him: "Do you think we want to?"
"But the owner said, if we only know about farming, we will be slaughtered pigs when the bandits come. The only purpose is to kill and eat meat." The man was very convinced of Lin Yuan, "The owner Yes."
Li Da sighed, the truth is like this, but who wants to fight.
However, the next day, Li Da still had to put on his cane armour and take a knife to line up. These days, instead of practicing instructions, he practiced "stand" and stood motionless in the cold wind. Whoever is Move, everyone has to stand for half an hour.
Let alone being punished, if someone moves, others will have to hate him first.
At this point, the training is disciplined.
The standing postures are almost done, and they should start to exercise their physical fitness, long-distance running, push-ups, leapfrogs, etc. In short, Lin Yuan can think of it, let them do it all.
When it comes to rest, everyone is tired like a dead dog.
It's not that no one is dissatisfied, but when someone is dissatisfied, the person next to him will educate him.
"You eat and drink now, what's the matter if you are tired? In the past, the autumn harvest came when you were hungry. Now I think you have a better life, I don't know how many catties you are."
"Yes, just rely on the boss's heart. I think, the boss should throw you out of Zhuangzi. I see you can live in the wilderness for a few days."
"It's better to throw it out so as not to tire us."
The educated person can only bow his head sadly, expressing that he knows he is wrong and that the people next to him are satisfied.
Some people really think that Lin Yuan has a good heart, and he still doesn't get up from the bed when he trains, he doesn't move, and someone pulls him.
Reporting to Lin Yuan, Lin Yuan said blankly: "Since you don't want to stay anymore, let's get out."
The person reporting was Li Da, and he read in Lin Yuan's indifferent eyes that Lin Yuan would not change his mind.
"I don't believe it!" The person who was relying on kept struggling, "The boss can't drive me away! Take me to see the boss! I have to ask to understand!"
Li Da sighed: "You don't have to ask the boss, the boss won't see you."
The people around watched this scene, and some people whispered: "The owner is so kind and won't really rush, that is to scare him."
"That's right, you said you knew you were wrong, and the boss will definitely forgive you."
The man yelled, "I was wrong! I knew it was wrong! My boss! My boss!"
Li Da took the person and took that person out of Zhuangzi. There are no people around Zhuangzi. It is very difficult to survive, but it is not hopeless. But even if you survive, you will not have a good life, especially in winter.
The man didn't believe he was really thrown out until he was taken out of Zhuangzi.
"I want to see my boss! Li Da! Li Da harmed me!" The man was still shouting, hoarse, "I just got up so late!"
Li Da threw him aside and said to him, "You don't have to think about going back to the Zhuangzi again. The boss said, if you come back, you will have a meal before throwing it out."
The man looked blank: "I don't believe it, the boss wouldn't be so cruel, I don't believe it."
There were a lot of onlookers, but they didn't believe it. At this point, they still felt that this was just a scare.
"It's better to believe it." Lin Yuan's voice suddenly came from not far away. He was wearing a cotton-padded jacket and walked over without hurried pace. He looked at these people in front of him with an unprecedented indifference.
"I have always had a good temper." Lin Yuan said.
No one speaks.
Lin Yuan: "Anyone who finds training hard and doesn't want to train, stand up now."
"I give you a chance to stand up!"
No one dared to move.
Lin Yuan sneered and said, "I've had enough good days, I don't want to, just leave, I won't stop."
"Those who want to replace me, now stand up and chop off my head, this Zhuangzi is yours."
"You don't want to train, go outside, you will become famous in the future, and I will never make irresponsible remarks."
"This is the first time, it's just to drive out." Lin Yuan looked around the group of people, "the next time, I will break my leg and drive out."
Lin Yuan: "If you want to go now, I will give you a bag of soy grains and leave you to choose."
Li Da swallowed, and he heard the voice of the person next to him swallowing.
What about soy food at this time?
Lin Yuan: "I have food, as well as meat. I never need to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation. If you can't be satisfied even so, don't blame me for turning my face and being ruthless."
The majesty of the commander can never be violated.
Once the majesty is broken, no one will fear him anymore. Love alone is not enough.
People are always easy to offend a good-tempered person.
But he will never offend a harsh person.
He can give some benefits appropriately and radiate kindness.
But it must not make people think that he is weak and deceiving.
Once people find that there is no punishment for resisting his instructions, they will push their noses to their faces.
Lin Yuan stood there, he felt that he had never been this stranger.
But he also knew that this was the only way to go.
Can't get around or dodge.
