Chapter 307 The usual human affection
No matter whether you are separated by life or death, no matter how emotional you feel, you will only sleep soundly after you reach a certain level of fatigue.
Zhu Da didn't know how long he had slept. He remembered that it was noon the day before he fell asleep, but he could see through the gaps in the windshield cloth. It seemed that it was the afternoon sky.
"Qingyun..." Zhu Da subconsciously shouted when he turned over and sat up, and then stopped. He often asked Zhou Qingyun to replace him when he was resting, but now he is no longer there.
Zhu Da sat on the edge of the bed for a moment, then rubbed his face with his hands for a few times, then lifted the curtain and walked out. The light of the setting sun was also dazzling, making him unable to help but block it.
Before he came out, he could hear the noise at the top of the city, but after he came out, it was extremely quiet. Zhu Da was stunned for a moment, and then he was subconsciously nervous and alert. Just as he reacted, cheers suddenly burst out from the top of the city.
"Master, it's a good thing!"
"Mr. Zhu is a great hero!"
"Mr. Zhu is really amazing!"
Those who can shout these words are often the officers and the gentry in the upper city, while Zhu Da’s servants and young policemen only know the word “master” and just shout excitedly, as if only in this way can they vent their emotions.
"Master is mighty, Master is victorious!" Everyone knew what to shout after this sentence was shouted. Zhu Da clearly heard that it was Fu Yu's shout.
Everyone shouted, and at first they shouted all these two sentences, but later they only shouted the word "Wansheng", and even the city shouted.
Zhu Da was only completely awake at this time. He looked around in a daze. The outside of the city was empty. Although Xueye was trampled by the cavalry, it was no longer snow-white, but the ruins of the farm were still very conspicuous. At the same time, there were people moving, and it seemed that the city gate had not been opened yet.
"You finally woke up, but you slept for more than a day and a night." Amid the cheers, Qin Juren Qin Chuan rushed over and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Zhu Da.
As soon as Qin Chuan arrived, he held Zhu Da's shoulder, stared at him and looked at him carefully, and then patted him hard for a while and said, "If you weren't breathing smoothly, you would have thought you had fallen asleep."
People who are extremely tired will fall asleep, but some are extremely tired. The lights are exhausted and never wake up after sleeping. Zhu Da's body was exhausted and his hands and feet died in battle may be exhausted. No wonder Qin Chuan was so worried.
In fact, those people on the front of the city may have similar concerns, so they would be cheering like this when Zhu Da woke up and appeared in front of and behind people.
"Entertainment Father, I'm fine." Zhu Da nodded to Qin Chuan, got rid of the other party's arms, and walked towards the fence. The cheers continued. Zhu Da raised his hand to the crowd and waved it a few times, and with him as the center, the quiet spread rapidly. The city quickly became quiet, and there was only noise under the city.
Wang Hu and Wang Xiong were both near the city. When they knew that Zhu Da woke up, they rushed over and stood behind him and stood by him.
"Have the Tartar army gone far?"
"I should have gone far away and I can't hear anything. Even if I'm still hiding near, I have to be on the road three hours away."
"How long will it take to leave the city according to the rules of the government army?"
"It will take at least one day and one night. I have to wait for the Tartars to go away before they can pursue them in a fake manner. I have to chase them to the border for a few days before turning back, and then sweep them everywhere, saying that it is to wipe out the remaining enemies."
The "mopping up" that Wang Xiong mentioned is the same as Zhu Da's life. The excuse of destroying the remaining enemies is also understood by Zhu Da, and it is no different from the situation of the disaster in Baibao Village. He uses the pursuit of the enemy and the killing of the people to make money.
"At that time, we must be strictly guarded and defended. The official army may not be stronger than the Tartars!" Zhu Da sneered and then turned around and said loudly: "All the captains on this wall are here!"
Not long after they finished speaking, Ji Xiaodong and Wang Jing also ran here quickly. Zhu Da turned around. Whether it was Wang Hu and Wang Xiong, who were instructors, or Ji Xiaodong and Wang Jing, who were servants, they only had the excitement and ease of pressure on their faces, and there was no sadness and emotion, "Relatives or other people have already sang." That's what they said.
"Immediately send a message to the servants and the servants on the front of the city to recruit three young and strong people in the city and immediately leave the city to clean up the battlefield."
"Master, it won't take so many people to restrain Mr. Zhou's body."
"This is just one thing. There must be no clean things in the ruins of the farm. Those are good things. We must move into the city as soon as possible. This is what we need to do in the past few days, and we cannot delay it!"
The person who advised him was Wang Hu, and after Zhu Da finished speaking, Ji Xiaodong and Wang Jing immediately turned around and ran out, and began to convey Zhu Da's orders to the outside. Wang Xiong smiled and began to ask Zhu Da's specific arrangements.
The first people gathered down the city along the ropes, and the subsequent people went to open the blocked city gate. The laborers who went to clean the battlefield must be closely monitored by servants and soldiers, and they must not hide their goods privately. The cleaning teams going to the farm must always stare at the flags at the top of the city, and once the warning is given, they will rush back immediately.
Observe the distance around the city. Even if a cavalry suddenly approaches, those who go to Tianzhuang to clean up the battlefield can return to the city in time. At that time, it will be too late to block the city gate and arrange defenses. The big animals in the city must move. Don’t bring big carts, otherwise it will waste time.
Wang Xiong observed Zhu Da while speaking. He started to speak very slowly. When he saw Zhu Da's calm and meticulous answer, he also spoke faster and faster, and soon arranged his plan to leave the city.
It's getting faster and faster here, and the handling of the city and the underworld is getting faster and faster. Everyone is shouting and talking, and everyone is running to do things.
Such passion and efficiency made Zhu Da a little stunned. Before he fell asleep, he was the direct servant and young policeman. Now he looked like this in Huairen County.
I could see Fu Yu and Meng Tian find the team in the city to explain to the police, and then the people rushed to prepare again. No one delayed it and they were all rushing to go first.
"Brother Zhu, the people from the Li family caravan also want to make efforts. They are willing to use cattle, horse and people to go out of the city to help." This is Chang Kai coming to ask.
After Zhu Da's permission, Chang Kai hurried over to make arrangements. Not long after, the flag raised by the long pole was already waving on the top of the city, and there were also shouting and shouting under the city. Zhu Da couldn't help but walk to the inside of the city wall to watch, but saw that the urn was busy and many people were carrying the earth and rocks blocking the city gate.
Originally, many common men were busy, but I don’t know who noticed that Zhu Da looked down on him, and even the police leaders who supervised the worker next to him rolled up their sleeves and joined.
Not to mention that the big ropes had been thrown away from the battlements of the city wall, some people were carrying baskets to the city and lined up to shout to prepare to go down the city.
"...Following this flag, if one flag turns into two flags, no matter what valuable business you find, gather, count the number of people, and then run back..." Wang Hu yelled there, and everyone listened carefully.
Looking at Zhu Da, Wang Xiong, who was beside him, smiled and explained: "That day and night, the officials and civil servants were preaching the mighty and merits of the boss. Everyone knew that it was the boss who saved the whole city, so they were all grateful and full of energy."
"Who else would believe that the Tartars would siege the city except for the few who could believe?" Zhu Da asked back. For the people in Huairen City, the Mongolian army never sieges the city, and the logic he said on the night of the camp was really not understood by everyone. The people did not feel the danger or the rescue, so how could they talk about gratitude?
"It's not difficult to explain. People like you, the boss, will not take risks at will. If you can risk your life to leave the city in the middle of the night, there must be a last resort. Everyone doesn't believe it, but since you came to Huairen, you have not made any mistakes. Everyone knows this. After saying this, everyone is afraid and everyone thinks you are a Bodhisattva." Wang Xiong continued.
Zhu Da nodded. This logic makes sense, but Shi En's routine was a little straightforward. He smiled and looked at Wang Xiong and said, "Teacher Xiong, did you come up with this idea?"
"Teacher Xiong? This is not a mess." Wang Xiong was stunned by the name, then shook his head and smiled, "It was Mr. Qin's arrangement. He said he would say it after he did it. I'm afraid no one would recognize it if he said it a few days later."
Zhu Da nodded and watched the servants take the lead down the city along the ropes. The others followed him enthusiastically. After a moment of silence, he said, "Actually, there are not many people who are grateful. Everyone is afraid of us, fearing to the core!"
Wang Xiong was silent. Thousands of Tartars outside the city were guarding the camp, all of whom were fierce and riding horses and setting off bows. There were tens of thousands of troops wandering around. Tens of thousands of officials on the west road and Datong City never emerged. Such a powerful enemy, Zhu Da actually dared to lead more than 200 people out of the city to raid, and also destroyed the camp of Tartars. With so many heads back, the Tartars were all wolves, jackals, tigers and leopards. So how fierce Zhu Da was who went out of the city to kill them? Such a fierce and powerful thing was in the small county town of Huairen, who dared not be afraid?
I guess I think back to the past when the two families were destroyed a few months ago, and I felt that they were already cruel at that time. Now it turns out that it is just a small test.
"It is human nature to fear power but not be virtuous." Wang Xiong agreed, and he also agreed with this.
Zhu Da turned his head and glanced at him, and said, "Teacher Xiong has a lot of books and can use all kinds of things at any time. Even the students in the county may not be able to do it."
"Master, the family members like me are all raised by the boss, and they must be both civil and military."
This is obviously a lie, but Zhu Da was too lazy to argue. He watched many people climb down the city along the ropes and rushed towards the Tianzhuang.
What’s even more interesting is that more than a hundred cows and horses and more than a dozen big cars turned from the other side of the city to meet the crowd. The people under the city were not panicked, and without Wang Xiong’s explanation, Zhu Da also knew that it was Xu Erzhu’s group.
"These people are smart. They stayed in a village ten miles southeast of the city. As soon as the Tatars left, they took the cattle and horses back to the city and asked them to throw away the grass and dry food at the top of the city. They were very bold and careful."
"Let them find more cattle and horses, and there should be large animals scattered outside. If you make a profit, you will make a profit."
The two were talking when they heard the "squeak" sound under their feet. The landfill of the city gate hole had been transported almost, and the city gate was also opened. Someone shouted that the city was turning the winch and lowering the suspension bridge.
Zhu Da did not continue to look outside the city. Since everyone was full of energy and had the power of the great victory two days ago, he didn't need to keep an eye on it too tightly. However, he was not ready to go down to the city, but just walked back to the inside of the city wall to overlook the scene in the county.
Zhu Da almost never went down the city in the past ten days. When he was running around the city walls, he just stared outside the city and didn't bother to look inside the city. Now it seemed that he was a little unfamiliar.
Zhu Da quickly put away his emotions. He saw that there were many people in the city gathering under the open walls. The officials shouted and cursed, maintaining order. In the past, when encountering such activities of catching businessmen and labor, they would definitely be full of resentment. But when they looked at the top of the city, they saw many smiling faces, which were rare to be willing.
The reason for this cooperation is that the city vigorously promotes Zhu Da Ende, on the one hand, on the other hand, is the heads of people piled up in the open space under the city.
I don’t know who presided over it. Nearly a thousand people were piled up into sharp piles. Everyone who was about to leave the city could see it. Everyone saw it was both afraid and excited. There were so many people who were cut off their heads, but when they thought that this was the Tartars’ heads, everyone’s minds were different. They always cut off the Han people’s heads, or the Tartars didn’t care about the Han people’s heads at all. Occasionally, there were a few Tartars’ heads, and they had to wonder if this was a fake by the government army killing the people...
Thinking about this huge group of Tartars' heads, I feel proud on the one hand. In Datong border town, who doesn't know the murders committed by the Tartars, but on the other hand, I feel incredible. I praise the victory there, and say the victory here, but it's the first time I have seen so many heads.
Think about it again, all the people are all made by Mr. Zhu in the city. Who dares to be resentful? Gratitude is one thing. The Tartars are cruel and timid in everyone's hearts, but those who are so cruel and timid were killed by Mr. Zhu. So, who dares to say "no" when Mr. Zhu speaks?
In addition to the people who were conscripted from the city, many people would not be conscripted, either the elderly, the weak, the sick, the disabled, or some identities. These two types of people were unable to go to the city and watched the fun from afar.
In fact, there are no ordinary people who can really get ahead, either the top figures in three classes and six rooms, or the like. While looking at Jingguan, they secretly looked up at Zhu Da who was condescending. After seeing the indifferent Zhu Da, they always subconsciously laughed and bowed.
There was a person rushing in front, and everyone was impatient with him, but he didn't say anything bad. This person was the old army of the Yang family. He turned out to be enclosed in Qinchuan's house and was released at this time.
With the height of the city wall, the city and the city could see each other clearly. Zhu Da could see the old central army full of shock and shock. He even came to the crowd of people, reached out to fiddle with the hair that was tangled with blood, and touched his lips and teeth.
"The civil and military yamen in the border town and the military officials knew how to check the heads. The braids and teeth of the Tatars were different from those of the Ming people..." Wang Xiong explained a few words behind him. In fact, he didn't need to say that, Zhu Da had known this for a long time.
Many people onlookers also knew what the old central army was doing, but they were not surprised and surprised. They just talked in a low voice. Some people who knew the cause and effect of his coming to Huairen County were full of disdain.
Not long after, the old Zhongjun stood up straight with his waist and suddenly felt something at the top of the city, which was just in line with Zhu Da's eyes.
With eyes facing each other, the old Zhongjun subconsciously took two steps back, and then he reacted and stood firm. A snicker came from the audience. The Yang family manager's face suddenly turned black. He shook his head and looked at Zhu Da on the top of the city again. He had a sneer on his face, turned his head and left.
This reaction means a lot, and Zhu Da’s expression still doesn’t change. Wang Xiong narrowed his eyes and looked at the back of the Yang family manager and said, “Will they go back?”
Zhu Da did not answer immediately, but just turned his eyes to a person running over. When the man went up the steps, he said in a muffled voice: "Don't touch him."
Wang Xiong didn't argue anything, just watched the guards not stopping the man from running up. After the man came to the city, he quickly moved closer. Wang Xiong still remembered that this man was Li Zhun, the leader of the caravan who entered the city before the gate of the city. He did not show up again after the Tartar army appeared.
Perhaps Li Zhuo was already out of breath when he came to Zhu Da two steps in front of him, he stopped quickly, tidied up his robe before bowing and saying, "Brother Zhu is really a hero who is rare. Saving the people of the whole city in times of danger. No, the Tartars retreated so quickly are all the great achievements of Brother Zhu. Brother Zhu, you saved the Datong military and civilians in the north of Huairen!"
Because my breathing was not stable, I said this very urgently. I coughed several times while I spoke, but I finished this set of words.
Anyone who hears Li Zhuang's words will feel that it is too exaggerated, but after careful consideration, it is somewhat reasonable. The Mongolian army has indeed accelerated the retreat after passing Huairen. No matter what, the cities and forts in Datong north of Huairen have benefited from it.
Although the words make sense, they shouldn't be said in Li Zhuang. But thinking that the caravan leader had not appeared in the city for more than ten days, it was reasonable for him to say these words.
After all, Li Zhuang was young. His face turned red before the week. He was nervous before he stood up. He knew that his family's affection and etiquette were almost clean these days, and now he was rushing up and could not help but show his appearance. If Zhu Da slandered a few words or even did even more extreme things, he could only be followed and even humiliated himself and could only admit his bad luck.
"My brothers are so erratic. I am so disgusting." Zhu Da took two steps forward and smiled and helped the person up. Although his smile was not very enthusiastic, he was extremely friendly to think of Zhu Da's experiences and experiences in the past few days.
Zhu Da just held Li Zhuang with his arms and said indifferently: "Brother Li, you are a foreigner. You have been unable to return home because of this disaster for many years. It is inevitable that you will be in a hurry under the siege of the city. Why bother with your family? This is not about cleaning the battlefield. Let the caravan help you!"
"...It has been arranged. Except for the five old managers, everyone else has left the city with animals and carts." Li Zhuang replied subconsciously. He was not prepared for Zhu Da's reaction and was a little stunned for a moment.
Zhu Da nodded, let go of his arms, and said with concern: "In two days, you will know if the Tartars are really leaving. You are ready. When the city gate is opened, you will leave and return home quickly. The government troops in the north are now like hungry wolves. If they get up, they will be in great trouble!"
"Brother Zhu is right. We will hurry up and walk quickly. Be careful on the road. As long as you enter Shanxi, it will be easy. Brothers also know a few people from the official and local areas." Li Zhuang quickly answered.
Next, the two began to make polite decisions. Li Zhuang praised Zhu Da for being brave, wise and brave, so brave, so brave, and so heroic, who could do such a big thing. Zhu Da reminded Li Zhuang to prepare for a journey earlier. It has been delayed for so long, so be careful on the way.
Li Zhuang knew that there was a lot of trouble at this time. Since Zhu Da seemed to have no grudges, there was no need to delay the other party for too long. He quickly said goodbye and made several promises from short sellers, such as selling and seizing Zhu Da, and promoting Zhu Da's martial arts merits. Li Zhuang could not offer any conditions. Strictly speaking, the goods in his hand were given to him by Zhu Da.
When he walked to the steps of the lower city, Li Zhuang saw Zhu Da waving his hand to say goodbye with a smile. He could not help but bow again. He turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly he was a little dazed. He was almost ten years older than Zhu Da, but when he was polite just now, Zhu Da seemed to be twenty years older than him, and his routine was skillful and sophisticated...
When Li Zhuang was a little dazed, Chang Kai, who had just arranged the matter of leaving the city, walked up and glanced at Li Zhuang's back with disdain, and said to Zhu Da angrily: "There are no ones who guard the city and leave the city, so I am going to flatter him."
"Because he is a smart man, when he was guarding the city, he thought that the Tartars wanted to attack the city, and his adoptive father sent someone to promote him that he could figure out who saved everyone, so he was so busy." Zhu Da replied.
This explanation was not explained thoroughly. Chang Kai thought for a moment before he understood it. Wang Xiong nodded immediately. A smart person who could clearly consider the logic of cause and effect would infer that the Mongolian army would attack Huairen City when evacuated. Naturally, he would rationally infer that Huairen City would be completely destroyed if it could not be defended. In this case, there would only be despair of waiting for death. Who would urge his subordinates to drink hard work for future business and friendship? It is inevitable that they would be lazy and cold.
Similarly, smart people also know why they want to rob the camp and what kind of chain reaction will be after destroying the grain platform outside the city. However, from common sense, Huairen County without decent force would not be able to destroy the Mongolian grain platform with nearly two thousand cavalry outside the city. Then, Zhu Da did this impossible thing.
What a capable person cannot do, and the more he can win is almost a complete victory. How courage is this, how heroic is this, how heroic is this, and what a person who can win such a victory is, what situation will be in the future? Smart people can also make a rough judgment.
Since you have figured out this, you don’t care about being arrogant at first and being respectful at the end, and you don’t care about your own face. How much can you recover? Looking at the future is the most realistic. If you are smart enough, you will think of it and do it.
"He is a foreigner, and he has only done two or three business times with us. You will make people not fear life and death and give up everything. It is too demanding. Treat it like before!" Zhu Da reminded him again. He said it gently, but Chang Kai already knew how to treat it and also knew how to convey Zhu Da's character.
