The rise of the poor

"We thought Lord Zhu was worried about military supplies, but that's not the case." Hu Wei shook his head vigorously.

"What's that?" Uncle Zhu Shouren and Xia Qiang asked quickly.

"I remind you of one word, the word 'borrow', the key point is this word, you should have a good understanding of it!" Hu Wei reminded the two of them.

"Borrow?" Uncle Zhu Shouren was still a little ignorant.

"Borrowing? The point is 'borrowing'?" Xia Qiang pondered, then raised his head suddenly, he seemed to have an epiphany, "Brother Hu, you mean today's story is that Er Zhurong used the head of his nephew to train troops; Cao Cao In that story, the point is that Cao Cao borrowed the heads of the grain and forage officials to calm the hearts of the army, and he also borrowed the heads."

Even without Hu Wei's reminder, Xia Qiang took the initiative to think of Sun Wu's story and said incredulously, "So, we also misunderstood the story of Sun Wu's military training in front of the palace. The point is not that Sun Wu used his troops to emphasize military discipline, but It was Sun Wu who borrowed the concubine's head to train his troops, and he also borrowed the head."

Then, suddenly, Xia Qiang thought of something, his face turned pale, and the whole person was also terrified.

"Yes, Brother Xia, you have thought of it too." Hu Wei swallowed and smiled bitterly.

"What are you borrowing people's heads, what are you talking about?" Uncle Zhu Shouren was slow to respond and didn't understand what the two were talking about.

"Hey, Brother Zhu, why don't you understand? The common point of these three stories is to borrow human heads. Rather than saying that Lord Zhu has read three stories, it is better to say that Lord Zhu has read one story, and that is the story of borrowing human heads. !"

Hu Wei looked at his uncle Zhu Shouren with a hatred of iron, and after sighing, he said word by word.

"Borrowing a human head?" Uncle Zhu Shouren raised his eyebrows.

"Why don't you understand, what are the implications of these three stories, that is, borrowing human heads. Master Zhu also wants to borrow human heads, and he is also thinking of borrowing human heads to train troops, my brother Zhu!"

Xia Qiang said with a trembling voice.

"What? You said that my nephew is trying to train troops by borrowing people's heads?! Impossible, absolutely impossible, don't talk nonsense, my nephew is not that kind of person."

After hearing this, Uncle Zhu Shouren shook his head without hesitation, and waved his hands vigorously several times.

"Hehe, Brother Zhu, what kind of person do you think your nephew is?" Hu Wei snorted and asked his uncle Zhu Shouren with bright eyes.

"My nephew is kind, honest, and simple. He is very similar to my brother. He is the kind of person who likes to think about others. He never killed a chicken when he was a child, so how could he use a human head to train a soldier?"

Uncle Zhu Shouren squinted his eyes to recall the past, and said slowly, firmly saying that Zhu Ping'an was not that kind of person.

"Honest? Honest? Hehe, my brother Zhu, are you still looking at your childhood?!"

Hu Wei listened to his uncle Zhu Shouren's simple and honest evaluation of Zhu Ping'an, and his smile was uglier than his tears.

"What do you mean by that? My nephew is like this now." Uncle Zhu Shouren frowned.

"Brother Zhu, my brother Zhu, we all heard the story of your nephew on the way and in the military camp. Come, let me show you one by one."

"Your nephew is recognized by the court and the public as the 'First God of Ming Dynasty'. He first impeached an officer of a thousand households who took refuge in Yan Ge Lao, and as a result, the thousand households were beheaded, and a member of the Joint Military Department was also involved. The boss was demoted to serve the people; then, he impeached the Taicang silver treasury case, even Yan Ge was fined money, hundreds of officials were punished, and thousands of treasury officials, treasury soldiers, and officers were raided and exiled. It is said that the number of people who died on the road of exile is uncountable; then, he impeached a high-ranking official, and twenty or thirty high-ranking officials were implicated and thrown into prison. There is that Yang Jisheng, who is very famous in our people recently. He impeached Mr. Yan Ge. Didn't your nephew also participate in it? Don't the common people say it, it would be nice if Yang Jisheng listened to your nephew's opinion and revised the impeachment report. , if you listen to it, now it is Yan Ge who is in prison, not Yang Jisheng. It is because Yang Jisheng didn't listen to your nephew's opinion that he failed the impeachment and was put in jail, and your nephew also failed. He was implicated and relegated to a small county in the south of the Yangtze River to be the county magistrate of Sesame."

"Brother Zhu, your nephew's name, the 'First God of Ming Dynasty', is held up by a lot of bones."

"Also, your nephew was relegated to a small county in the south of the Yangtze River to be a magistrate. How can you make a comeback and even go further to the current fourth-rank high-ranking officer? How did he do it? Brother Zhu, have you ever thought about it?!"

Hu Wei pointed at his uncle Zhu Shouren's nose with a hatred of iron, and broke him word by word.

"My nephew has made great contributions. He has made great achievements one after another, and he has been promoted one level after another."

Uncle Zhu Shouren replied without thinking.

"Then do you know how your nephew made the merits?" Hu Wei asked.

Uncle scratched his head
"Let me tell you, Brother Zhu, when your virtuous nephew ruled Jingnan County, more than 2000 Japanese pirates attacked, and Jingnan only had dozens of soldiers, not even enough to fill the teeth of the Japanese pirates. In order to make meritorious service, your virtuous nephew, Treating the common people as worthless, ordered the common people to guard the city, and issued a decapitation order, who retreated and killed whose head, forcibly took the lives of the common people to defend the county, killed thousands of Japanese pirates, and even recovered a neighboring county. It can be said that taking the heads of the common people made a great contribution, allowing him to be promoted from the seventh-rank magistrate to the fifth-rank judge and inspector. Under the black gauze hat on his head, counting the common people and Japanese pirates, there are at least several thousand human life."

"I won't say any credit for disaster relief, but I'll just say that he went from being a clerk to the deputy commissioner of the judiciary. Dozens of Japanese pirates landed in Shaoxing and killed ten people in one go. Several counties, seven or eight prefectures, two or three thousand miles in length and breadth, the heads of the people who were killed were rolling, and they were killed in one breath to the city of Liuduyingtian, and thousands of people were killed under the city. And the common people are terrified, those who are officials, regardless of whether they are officials or military officers, did not dare to go up; in the end, it was your nephew who, regardless of the life and death of his men, drove his soldiers to kill the group of Japanese pirates while they were sleeping."

"And your nephew's meritorious deeds that he made recently when he sacrificed to the sea. I heard that hundreds of Japanese pirates were killed again. Which of these great deeds is not a pile of bones, since your nephew has been an official, he has died in him. There are not ten thousand but eight thousand."

"It's still simple, honest, and honest, and I've never killed a chicken. It's not too much to describe it as murderous."

Hu Wei clenched his fingers, and counted Zhu Shouren, the uncle Zhu Shouren, one after another of the great achievements made by Zhu Ping'an.

"Brother Zhu, you are too simple and honest, you only see the surface of your nephew, but you don't know the true face of your nephew. Before the age of weakness, you even got the third grade in the middle school and the top spot in the high school, and offended the powerful old Yan Ge. , can you make a comeback and go further, you say that such a character can be a simple and honest person?"

Xia Qiang couldn't help but follow the preaching.
