At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the competition for the deer in the world

Chapter 17 Accession to the WTO
Sitting on the horseback, Cheng De was thinking about how to recruit that strange man if he saw him.

Do you want to cry like Liu Xuande in history, and then play the banner of thinking for the people of the world, and make the other party kowtow with benevolence and sincerity to worship yourself as the lord?

It's just that this scholar is not easy to fool.

First of all, crying is not an ordinary job. There are ways to cry and how to cry.

Cheng De was very worried. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if the other party looked at him blankly if he cried?
Moreover, he was a little worried about his poor impromptu acting skills. The other party was 40 years old, and he was already a well-informed age.

Secondly, he doesn't have the charm of bowing his head as soon as people see him. Although he admits that he looks very heroic, it is useless to men. Besides, he is not as good as Long Yang.

Simply, take one step at a time, maybe the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge!
Suddenly, four sentences of Heng Qu flashed in Cheng De's mind, thinking, maybe these four sentences can have a miraculous effect.

After all, which scholar would not be willing to bow down in front of these four sentences?

Set up your mind for the heaven and earth, set up your life for the people, set your mind for the sages of the past, and create peace for the world!

In order to attract talents, this time, Cheng De could only borrow these four sentences with the cheek, although he was a little ashamed.

However, when I think of the protagonist of the novel I read in my previous life, after being reborn in ancient times, I no longer feel ashamed by plagiarizing the poems of outstanding poets in Chinese history to make myself prosperous in official career and fall in love with beauties.

I vaguely remember that at that time, he despised the protagonist very much after watching it, just because the protagonist was not him.

Now, he was really reborn, but unfortunately it was the end of the Yuan Dynasty!

What is the use of poetry in this troubled world?
If we don't end the troubled times and become a civil servant, we will spend every day in fear, or we may die because of it.

After all, a great reputation is valued by the tyrants in troubled times. As long as you choose one side to take refuge in, the other parties will poison, assassinate, or set up tricks in order to weaken the side you take refuge in. .

Putting aside such chaotic thoughts, the sun and the moon flew quickly, and Cheng De and his party gradually saw the entrance of Zhangcun Village in front of them.

Seeing Zhang Village approaching gradually, Cheng De recalled the time when he first came here, and couldn't help feeling that he was in troubled times and couldn't help himself.

At this moment, the smoke from the kitchen was billowing in the air above Zhangcun, and no one was encountered on the road.

But Cheng De and his group still alarmed Zhang Village.

soon.

Cheng De made people stop, and in front of him, there was an old man with white hair and a thin figure, leading a group of young and strong people, standing in the middle of the road leading to the village.

"Military masters, I don't know why you came to my Zhang village?" The old man saluted Cheng De and the others respectfully, the corners of his cloudy eyes were full of fear.

"Village chief, I'm He Sanwu, and this is the elder brother Cheng De!" He Sanwu quickly stepped forward to support the village chief, and explained his identity to the village chief.

"You are Sanwu, this is Ade?" The village chief looked at He Sanwu and Cheng De in surprise.

Cheng De dismounted, looked at the village chief, and said with a smile: "Village chief, I am Cheng De!"

Hearing Cheng De's words, the village chief stared at Cheng De and He Sanwu carefully for a while, and then said: "It's really you! I'm getting old, and my eyesight is not working! However, the change between you two is also true. It's too big!"

Seeing the village chief's trembling body, Cheng De stepped forward quickly, supporting the village chief's right hand, while He Sanwu supported the village chief's left hand, and moved forward slowly, while all the soldiers following Cheng Delai followed closely behind. behind.

"Village chief, how is the village doing?" Cheng De smiled and looked at the village chief.

The village chief turned his head to Cheng De, and grabbed Cheng De's hand, "Since you and San Wu were captured by Yuan soldiers, this village has become much deserted, and the bustle of the past is no longer there! However, seeing that you are all right, My heart is finally more at ease. Both your father and Sanwu’s were killed by Yuan soldiers, and your respective mothers left you early when you were young! Let’s not talk about this, you are fine , I am very happy!"

"Village Chief, the Yuan soldiers in our Sizhou City were all wiped out by the eldest brother, and now the master of our Sizhou City has been replaced by the eldest brother, and the eldest brother is now a well-known general in Sizhou City!" He Sanwu continued beside him Said the words of the village chief.

The village chief looked at Cheng De in disbelief, and after a long time, he said, "Well done! Those in our village who died because of Yuan soldiers have finally been avenged! However, as the village chief, I have It’s the first time I misread it! I thought Ade would become a scholar, but unexpectedly, he became a general! In retrospect, I was the one who gave you your name. I don’t have much literacy. It's one of the few I know, when your father came to the door and asked me to give you a name, I took Germany!"

Cheng De didn't expect that his name was chosen by the village head in front of him, so he secretly remembered this.

"Village chief, if there is anything in the village that needs to be told to me, what I say in Sizhou City is still very useful!" Cheng De looked at the village chief and patted his chest.

After hearing this, the village head frowned, with a hesitant expression.

But at this moment, one of the young people brought by the village head said: "Brother De, our village has not had a good harvest this year. In addition, we have been forcibly requisitioned by Yuan soldiers many times before. There is a shortage of food. Many people in the village I've been hungry for days!"

"Qisan, it's not easy for you—Ade!" The village chief was a little angry.

Cheng De was a little shocked in his heart, "Village Chief, I will handle this matter! Deng Youde!"

"Here we come, General!" Deng Youde ran to Cheng De in small steps.

"You take 100 people back to the General's Mansion in Sizhou City, get some more money from your wife, buy more grain at the grain store in Sizhou City, and then transport all the grain here!"

"Yes, General!" Deng Youde ordered 100 people, and hurriedly led them away.

"Village chief, the food problem has been solved, let's go into the village to chat!" As soon as Cheng De finished speaking, the young people brought by the village chief looked at Cheng De gratefully.

"Look at my memory, let's go, let's enter the village. Ade just did a big favor for our village. It can be said that Ade is kind to everyone. You people should remember it!" The village chief told him brought young people.

Immediately, the village head led Cheng De and others to visit the village head's house!

The news of Cheng De's return to Zhang Village has already spread like wildfire, especially when Cheng De became the owner of Sizhou City, the villagers were so shocked that their jaws dropped, and they all sighed: "When I was young, I just wanted to be a child." Knowing that Ade is a promising child! I never thought that he would be so promising!"

Many people in the village came to the village head's house, but when they saw a hundred soldiers from Sizhou City standing outside the village head's house, they stood obediently outside the door and looked inside.

What's more, as if he was familiar with him, he approached one of the soldiers in Sizhou City, "Brother, I heard that Brother De is your general and is now the master of Sizhou City. Is it true?" ?"

The soldier was a young man in his twenties, dressed in black armor, with a gentle expression on his face, thinking that the person who was asking the question in front of him might be the general's younger brother, so he replied, "Yes, the general is a great hero, he Eliminate the hateful Yuan army, let the law and order of Sizhou City be improved, and the general has also exempted all kinds of corvee from the Yuan Dynasty, and treats the common people like a child!"

"Let me tell you, I personally witnessed how the general beheaded the ferocious general of the Yuan army. It was like a god descending from the earth. The general of the Yuan army was so scared that he peed his pants on the spot. Seeing our general, he just kept running! But Our general caught up in the blink of an eye. At that time, the general just jumped and cut off the head of the Yuan army general from the air! Afterwards, those Yuan soldiers wished to have more legs, but they met the general In the end, they were all beheaded, which can be regarded as a sigh of relief for us Han people and revenge!"

hiss!
"Brother De has become so powerful, I didn't expect it, I was wrong! Brother De is so majestic now!"

"General, you are not an ordinary person. If it is an ordinary person, why would he come up with such slogans as expelling the Tartars and restoring China? Hearing it, I feel very powerful!"

"This - why is it different from the De brothers I used to know!"

"Let me tell you a gossip. I heard that our general seems to have changed because his father was killed by Yuan soldiers, and then he became more powerful, braver, and smarter!"

"Hey, Brother De is also a hard-working person! By the way, brother, I think you are dressed so majesticly! I want to wear this armor too! I wonder if I can join you?"

"This, you have to ask the general!"

"That's right, it seems that I have a chance to talk to Brother De!"

"Okay, that's all for now, my head is turned towards me!" After the soldier finished speaking, he stopped talking and stood upright.

"Village Chief, I am coming back this time. Firstly, I want to visit everyone. Secondly, I want to meet that strange man in our village. Thirdly, I want to recruit some soldiers around our village and neighboring villages!" Cheng De said face to face. To the village chief, he did not hide anything.

"Ade, the strange man you mentioned, left our village with his family a few days ago! Now, he is no longer in the village, and he may never come again!" The village chief showed regret, looking To Cheng De!

"Leaving?" Cheng De was a little disappointed, maybe it was God's will in the dark!

Soon, Cheng De's face returned to calm.

"Village chief, I want to recruit some people in the village to be my personal soldiers. The personal soldiers are responsible for my safety. I don't trust other people very much, but I do trust the people in our village!" Cheng De grabbed the villager. said the long hand.

"Village chief, elder brother is determined to overthrow the Yuan Dynasty and create a piece of the world for us Han people. And elder brother once told us that he hopes that one day in the future, all Han people in the world will have food, clothing, and housing, being able to marry a wife and have children, to be a Han Chinese in an upright manner, not to be slaughtered by the Yuan people!" He Sanwu said at the right time.

After hearing He Sanwu's words, the village chief was silent for a long time.

Afterwards, the village head looked at Cheng De and sighed: "I never thought that in my lifetime, in our village, there would be a great person! Many people in our village died because of Yuan people, and Ade was like that." Aspiration, I, the useless village chief, will persuade the villagers for Ade and help Ade recruit soldiers!"

"Village chief, recruit soldiers in our village, three meals a day, three taels of silver per month, and one mu of land!" He Sanwu said.

After hearing He Sanwu's words, the village chief slapped his thigh excitedly, "Just now I was only [-]% sure of convincing the villagers, now I am [-]% sure!"

Suddenly, Cheng De said, "Wait!"

He Sanwu and the village head looked at Cheng De at the same time, with some doubts in their eyes.

"I want to change this condition. Each person will be provided with three meals a day, one meal of meat per day, the military salary will be increased to five taels of silver per month, and five acres of land will be distributed. This is the condition of being a soldier! Also, if during the period If someone unfortunately dies in battle, they will receive a pension of 20 taels, and at the same time, it will be engraved on the stele of heroes, remembered by the world, and left a name in history. I will help take care of their families, and I will help their children learn to read and write, so that they can be officials in the future !"

"Brother—is this condition a little better?" He Sanwu looked at Cheng De dumbfounded.

The village head was also moved by Cheng De's conditions. If he could, he would also like to serve as a soldier, but he, who is about to go to the ground, can't help him much. He can't go there and give the enemy his head. !Fortunately, he has two sons and four grandchildren.

Cheng De said calmly: "Soldiers are fighting with their lives. Compared with their lives, what are these things? Besides, only in this way can soldiers be more brave to fight the enemy!"

He Sanwu was thoughtful after hearing this, and secretly remembered what Cheng De said.

"This kind of condition is currently being applied to my personal soldiers. After a while, when the territory grows, it will be promoted to the whole army!" Cheng De said without being surprised.

He Sanwu didn't open his mouth to refute this time, but thought about the benefits of his elder brother's doing so. The more he thought about it, the brighter He Sanwu's eyes became.

"Ade, for the neighboring villages of our village, it is up to me, an old man, to persuade the village chiefs of their villages. I think they will all agree! Moreover, I also want these village chiefs to persuade their neighboring villages. Help Ade!" the village head said sincerely.

After Cheng De heard this, his eyes showed some surprise, and he looked at the village chief, "Village chief, I will leave this matter to you! Right now, I will stay in the village temporarily for a few days! Go back to Sizhou City!"

"Okay, Ade, you can figure it out!" The village head said with a smile.

After having a simple lunch at the village head's house, the village head is going to go door-to-door in the village to persuade.

However, the village chief didn't expect that, after he persuaded a few families, the whole village knew about it, and then things went surprisingly smoothly.

Immediately, the village chief ran non-stop towards the neighboring village to persuade him.But Cheng De was worried about the village chief, so he sent a team of ten people to protect his safety.

There were 320 young people in Zhangcun who signed up to join the army. Cheng De was very happy when he learned about this.

When night fell, the village chief came back and told Cheng De that he had persuaded several village chiefs in neighboring villages, and that someone would sign up to join the army only tomorrow.

At the same time, more than a dozen carts of grain bought by Deng Youde also arrived in the village. Cheng De personally distributed the grain to the villagers, and each household could receive a bag of grain.

That night, the smoke from cooking was floating everywhere in the village, and the whole village was shrouded in excitement and joy.

Cheng De naturally noticed the village head's running around, so he drank a few more drinks with the village head in the evening, secretly left some silver taels, and then returned to his home to rest.

As for the other people Cheng De brought, they all borrowed from dozens of families in the village.

A quiet courtyard in Sizhou City.

"Sir, why did you leave Zhangcun and come to Sizhou City? Didn't you say that you wanted to join General Cheng? Why did you avoid him on purpose?" A young scribe in a white shirt looked at the front of the scribe. The man in the green shirt gestured at the same time.

If anyone was present, they would definitely recognize this gesture, it was sign language!
The man in the blue shirt looked calm, and went straight to a stone table with a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, spread out a large piece of paper, picked up a brush, dipped it in ink, and wrote a line vigorously, "Look at his actions, benevolence and righteousness? Looking at his words again, do you believe it? Looking at his people later, do you tolerate them?"

"My disciples know the meaning of the master! But, how long does the master want to use?" The young scribe in white shirt asked, while making gestures.

The man in the blue shirt only stared at the lips of the young scribe, and then without any hesitation, wrote on the paper: "Forty"!
The young scholar sighed and said, "I hope Mr. Lu's judgment is correct! Mr. Lu trusts Mr. Lu and has lived in seclusion for more than ten years. He suddenly decided to enter the WTO this time. I don't know what happened to General Cheng? I am really looking forward to meeting him." See you last time!"

The man in the green shirt didn't write anything this time, but stared blankly at the boundless night, especially when he looked at the full moon, his eyes were a little lost.
