Big businessman and little fisherman

Chapter 108
"Even if they wear a red cloth, you can't think they are rebels."

After all, Lu Yange didn't understand the current living environment. He heard that the red cloth was tied on the knife, and he immediately thought that as long as there were new things in the Ye Wharf, they would tie a red cloth strip on it as a sign of auspiciousness.

This is just a local custom, how could it be involved with the rebel army.

"You kid doesn't understand."

Brother Zhang managed to calm down, but his face was still very ugly, "Everyone in Huai City knows about this matter."

The rebel army stationed in Huaicheng is also called the Hongying Army by the locals.

The difference between the Hongying Army and other insurgents is that their weapons, no matter whether they are swords, guns or sticks, are tied with a red cloth strip.

Chen Quan revolted in Huaicheng, and at the beginning of May, he married Zhou Yunmei, the eldest daughter of the Zhou family, a prominent local family.

Zhou Yunmei changed the red cloth strip of the Hongying Army into a long triangle, and embroidered the sun, moon and stars on the three corners to show the difference.

"Use the sun, moon and stars to show the difference?"

Lu Yange couldn't help asking curiously, "Uncle Zhang, do you know how to distinguish this?"

"I don't know either. Brother Lu and I went to Ding's Meat Shop to buy meat the day before yesterday. I heard Ding Da mention it. Ding Da also heard what the customers who came to buy cooked food at the pier said. We don't know about this, but Huaicheng The people around are very clear."

Lu Quan also nodded: "Yes, I was there when Brother Ding said it. But, are you sure you read it right? Is it really the Red Tassel Army?"

Brother Zhang San nodded very positively: "It's definitely not wrong. I saw it with my own eyes. There is a red cloth strip tied to that kid's knife, and a crescent moon is embroidered on one corner, and the other two corners are not clearly visible."

It's not that he didn't see clearly, but that Brother Zhang was afraid of being noticed by the other party, so he didn't dare to take a closer look.

"I heard that their ranks in the Hongying Army are divided according to the sun, moon and stars. Those who can embroider the moon, even the lowest crescent moon, these people's status in the Hongying Army is not low."

Lu Quan's face was also a bit ugly. What he said was what Ding Da heard from the ship merchants.

The ship dealers talked vividly, and Ding University's talk was also very good, but it was much simpler when it came to Lu Quan, but the general meaning was correct.

The sun, the moon and the stars are the signs?

Does the day mean that it is Chen Quan, the leader of the Hongying Army?

The moon represents the general, and then the identity of the general is set with the change of the full moon and the crescent moon.

What about the star?
Probably from low to high one star, two stars... to distinguish.The status of low-level soldiers is distinguished by the number of stars!
Lu Yange couldn't help but smile slightly, Chen Quan married the eldest daughter of the Zhou family, a rich family in Huaicheng, in order to get help from the rich family in Huaicheng.

This week's daughter was indeed cultivated by a wealthy family.

Figured out how to use the sun, moon and stars to distinguish leaders from generals and soldiers. It is very useful for the rough and rough born!

Those who climb up from the bottom are more concerned about their identity.

What was lacking in the past will expand even more when their rights reach a certain level.

A schemer is good at planning, a brave man is good at courage, a wise man is good at hiding...

If they want to change their status, turn one star into two stars and three stars, and turn the crescent moon into a full moon, these people will definitely do their best to change their status.

I just don't know if Chen Quan had a wretched wife before, who could take the position of leader of the rebel army. Chen Quan's age must be at least thirty or forty.

If Chen Quan's original partner is not dead, then this Zhou's daughter who is being married by the media is interesting!

It doesn't matter if Chen Quan's uprising fails in the future, once Chen Quan's uprising succeeds.

Is Zhou's daughter going to be a queen or a noble concubine this time?
Lu Yange's brain and thinking spread out, traveling tens of thousands of miles.

But I heard Zhang Sange talking in my ear: "For the sake of testing, I deliberately asked for two hundred coins for a backpack, but the kid really bought two small backpacks and two eel cages for a tael of silver, and even I don’t want any money.”

Two hundred Wen, that's enough to feed his whole family several times.

Unexpectedly, Sange Zhang actually sold it. You must know that on weekdays, an ordinary large pannier is only [-] to [-] cents a piece, and this kind of exquisitely dyed small pannier is only [-] yuan a piece.

He opened his mouth like a lion, and shouted two hundred Wen directly, and his heart was lifted at that time.Fearing that the other party would turn his back on him, he chopped it off with one knife.

Lu Yange withdrew his thoughts and asked his own question: "Since they are the Hongying Army, they must all be born in poverty. How can they be willing to spend two hundred cash for a basket?"

And I bought two at a time, and I gave back a tael of silver, and I didn't want any change.

Zhang San also hesitated for a moment: "I... I don't know either."

Lu Quan hesitated and said, "It may not be the Hongying Army, maybe it's some rich son?"

"No, it must be the Red Tassel Army."

Brother Zhang San remembered another thing, "That young man was wearing ordinary clothes, but his horse was very good. When the three of them got up and passed in front of me, I could hear the tall and thin man calling the name of the young man in brocade clothes in front. ...Song..."

Lu Yange: "Song Yunfei."

"Yes, yes, it's called Song Yunfei." Brother Zhang slapped his thigh, "Have you ever seen a rich family whose servants can call the master's name? It's only possible that these two servants are not the servants of the young man in brocade clothes. It’s the brothers who rebelled together. But the father of the boy in brocade clothes should be more powerful.”

Speaking of this, Brother Zhang couldn't help feeling a little annoyed: "If I'm more courageous, I should follow up and see the red scarf tied on the riding whip of the young man in brocade."

Lu Yange thought for a while: "I heard that shopkeeper Li mentioned before that Chen Quan is from Dongyang County. I heard that Song Yunfei's accent is like the accent of people in Qingfengzhai. If Chen Quan is from Dongyang County, then today's A group of people are probably bandits from Qingfengzhai who rebelled with Chen Quan."

Lu Quan: "Is Chen Quan from Dongyang County?"

Brother Zhang: "Song Yunfei is from Qingfengzhai?"

Both of them couldn't believe it.

However, Chen Pingan was thinking hard, he seemed to have indeed heard the young man in brocade clothes yell at the pier today.But the pier was in a mess at the time, and he didn't hear what the man was shouting clearly.

"But……"

Lu Quan looked at Lu Yange in front of him, hesitated for a moment, but still didn't finish his sentence.

Brother Zhang did not have Lu Quan's worries: "But Qingfeng Village has been wiped out by the government, hasn't it?"

Lu Yange smiled: "That's only what the government said, no one saw it."

When everyone returned home, the seven families gathered together, and Brother Zhang told the story of his encounter with the rebels from the beginning.

A room full of people, men and women responding differently.

The first thing the man thought of was that the rebel army was as they claimed: uneven everywhere, no one without food and warmth.People all over the world cultivate fields, and people all over the world plow together.

This is to put all their poor people on the same level as those aristocratic families. That's why Brother Zhang sold two hundred coins for his back basket, but he was not killed.

What the women think of is, this day is just over, why is God so closed-minded?

They don't care who will be the emperor in the court, as long as they can feed and clothe their whole family.

The children were all excited. A small backpack could be sold for two hundred Wen. This rebel army must be too rich.

If they came from Huaicheng, wouldn't they be able to buy land and build houses by selling baskets?
