The white porridge and pickled mustard is enough, why am I wearing a royal robe?

Send spies
Yichuan County could not be captured for a long time. Wang Zuoguan was a little anxious. He looked at his confidant Wang Shun and asked, "I have thousands of people, why can't I take this city that is not defended by thousands of people?"

The magistrate of Yichuan County only raised a few hundred village warriors. He had no money, and there were not as many large households in the city as in Yanchang County. There was an interesting phenomenon in the late Ming Dynasty, that is, the Ming Dynasty almost did not allocate local financial funds. Almost all the revenue is used for military expenditures, and localities rely on themselves to make money and spend as much as they earn.

If you don’t have it, don’t spend it.

Chengzhi County still relied on the money collected to issue rewards to these village heroes, and he was a good official who took what he had from the people and used it for the people.

They relied on rolling logs and kerosene to defeat waves of attacking mobs.

In fact, not many people were killed. A group of rabble led by Wang Zuoguan often rushed forward for a certain distance. After some people came under the city wall, they were killed by the thrown rolling stones or stones, or their heads were bruised slightly. Liu, howling and running back, the formation was in chaos.

They just don't know what to do.

Can only retreat.

Not content with retreating, he is still thinking about Yichuan County.

Chengcai was also helpless. I am in such a poor county, why are you beating me? What he was even more helpless about was the local government. Yan'an Prefecture was also a prefecture after all, so why not send troops to help.

The thieves have been besieging Yichuan for three or four days, but no one has come to help.

Thanks to the thief's weakness, and the fact that the soldiers and civilians on his side were united, they persisted under the thief's attack.

"Brother, our men are too scattered, disorganized, and afraid of sacrifice. Every time we attack the city, the team often collapses before a few people are killed, and we don't dare to charge forward at all."

Wang Shun replied, they are all disaster victims, how many rules can they have.

Wang Zuoguan looked at the other two people, Feishan Tiger and Big Red Wolf. These two people were on an equal footing with him. There were thousands of people in the team, and some of them were called by the two of them.

"What do you think of the attack on Yichuan?"

Feishanhu has a great reputation, but he is a short man with a pair of triangular eyes that looks very sinister. "Yichuan has been unable to be attacked for a long time, so why don't we attack somewhere else."

They revolted in order to survive. They constantly plundered the city, opened warehouses to release grain, killed officials and rich people, and plundered the people in the city. They would definitely be able to gain a lot of capital to survive and increase their personnel strength. However, they are currently attacking Yichuan County. It was impossible to attack for a long time, and they no longer had much food.

Either capture Yichuan quickly or change the target. However, capturing Yichuan is obviously unrealistic. It is impossible to attack Yichuan by force and will only increase casualties.

"I think so. There's no need to chew on this area," the big red wolf nodded in agreement.

"Then where should we attack next?" Wang Zuogao asked. He really had no idea and didn't know what to do.

"I heard that there is a Kitchen King when I go north to Yanchuan."

"But the one who killed the landlord?"

"Yes, Yanchuan has been captured. What's the matter? You didn't say you wanted to attack Yanchuan, right?"

Wang Zuoguan looked at the Feishanhu in front of him in surprise. There were many uprisings in northern Shaanxi, and they were even everywhere, but they never interfered with each other.

Everyone is not stupid and knows that they all have a common enemy, which is the Ming Dynasty. Even so, if they encounter a very weak small rebel army, they will still annex each other, euphemistically called mutual help. But the Kitchen King who was able to take Yanchuan County was obviously not a good person, so why bother with him?

"I heard he had food."

After Feishanhu mentioned this, everyone present fell silent. It was not as simple as having food. They all heard that the Kitchen King had the power to transform gods and ghosts.

Can produce food.

"Is he really the Kitchen God?"

Wang Zuoguan frowned, what he said was too magical, something that came from the clouds and returned in the mist, something that had countless food and weapons at the wave of his hand.

"Haha, the emperor also said that they were given by heaven. Do you believe it? The ancestors of the Ming Dynasty were also beggars."

"If he is a god, why doesn't he just sit on the emperor's chair?"

"Still promoting his title of Stove King here?"

Feitianhu sneered, what he said made sense. Since he was a god, why not just become the emperor and still need to attack the county like them?
Just fly to the sky and become a god to show off to the public, and then make the world surrender.

"I guess it's some kind of cover-up. After all, there are still capable people and strange things among the people."

The big red wolf said, he has traveled around the world and has learned about some capable people. Some people are indeed capable. It is a blind trick, and no one can see the method clearly.

"The Kitchen King should be the same now, but regardless of whether he is or not, the only thing that can be determined is that he has a lot of food. After all, no matter how good the deception is, it is basically a bluffing method and cannot change out of thin air. I heard that the Kitchen King , turned out white porridge, turned out pickled vegetables, he should have a lot of white rice and pickles."

"You said so much, don't you really want to deal with the Kitchen King?"

Wang Zuoguan was still more concerned about this issue. No matter what, Kitchen King also had many people, which was more difficult to deal with than Yichuan.

"That's white rice and pickles, aren't you excited?"

Feitianhu looked at Wang Zuoguan with squinted eyes. The three of them started an incident together. Wang Zuoguan was considered bold at first, but now he has become less courageous.

I've already done the decapitation thing, why are you still so cowardly and timid?

"It's better than this," the big red wolf looked at the two people, "The Stove King said that if you love the people like a son, the people around you will go to seek refuge. He will not refuse anyone who comes. Why don't we send some people there, pretend to go and find out what's going on? How strong is the Kitchen King?" Big Red Wolf gave a suggestion.

In this team with not many strategists, the big red wolf's suggestion was very brilliant, and received approving looks from Wang Zuoguai and Feitianhu.

There are still capable people in our team.

"Yes, this is a good suggestion. What is this called, Ming Xiu Dao? Haha," Feitianhu laughed, looking very happy. This method is indeed good, at least he couldn't think of such a method.

Wang Zuoguan also nodded, agreeing very much with Big Red Wolf's method. The gate of Yichuan County was tightly closed, and they couldn't sneak in, but they heard that the Kitchen King would not refuse anyone who came, and would provide grain and fields as long as they registered.

They also distributed food and land, but the land they wanted was of little use. They took the refugees everywhere and slaughtered the villages.

Now it is really possible to sneak into the Kitchen King's territory and find out what the Kitchen King is like.

"Then why don't we all go and join the Kitchen King?" Wang Zuogao's men said cautiously, "Of course. We are pretending, pretending."

Feitianhu and Big Red Wolf frowned, "No, there's no way they can all lurk in. Eggs can't be put in one basket. It's the last word to cooperate inside and outside. Let's do this. Send 300 people to pretend to be refugees and join the Kitchen King's team."

"Inspect the situation of the Kitchen King's soldiers, seize the city directly in two days, force the Kitchen King to join us," the big red wolf said, "What do you think?"

"can."

"good."

Wang Zuogao and Feitianhu both agreed that 300 people was already a lot, and sneaking into them would be a key force.

By combining internal and external forces, they should be able to seize Yanchuan County. If Yichuan could enter and exit at will, they felt that Yichuan County would have been captured by them long ago, but it was a pity that there was no such thing.

Wang Zuoguo and Feitianhu selected three hundred refugees.

"After the event is completed, you will be promoted to one level and receive three measures of food. Remember, tonight and tomorrow night, you will find a way to open the city gate."

The big red wolf said to these 300 people.

After receiving the response, the 300 people headed towards Yanchuan. They shouldered the heavy mission of Wang Zuoguan and the others.

Go to Yanchuan and work as an undercover agent.

Yanchuan County and Yanchang County, these two adjacent counties, almost the same scene appeared, frantically carrying out armaments.

Yanchang County is recruiting village warriors. Not only that, it also trains these village warriors on how to defend the city. They also continue to pile up defensive tools near the city wall. There is no shortage of large stones and large pieces of earth and rubbish in northern Shaanxi. These are all Cheap and easy-to-use city defense equipment.

When built on a city wall, it can also be used as the city wall itself, getting the best of both worlds.

In Yanchuan County, Liu Zhenhua used work as relief and asked thousands of people to build city walls.

All these people chose the set meal, which consisted of two meals of porridge and pickled mustard every day, but many people would take their families to eat with them when the meals were distributed.

In this way, the whole family can save the food distributed by the Kitchen King.

There is food at home, so I don’t panic.

Not only was the city wall built, but there were also blacksmiths in the city who transformed steel bars and carpenters who made arrows and ladders.

There were also women weaving clothes and straw sandals for the heavenly soldiers and militia soldiers to wear. The entire Yanchuan County glowed with endless vitality under the leadership of the Kitchen King.

The common people now know what it means to get rich through hard work, and they have begun to save food!
This is such an exciting thing for the farmers in northern Shaanxi who have suffered for many years but have not lost much food wealth.

The people don't want much, they just want to be able to live and work in peace and contentment, which is currently the case under the rule of the Kitchen King of Yanchuan.

Ren Zhuohuo took some people and continued to promote the Stove King's ideas in Yanchuan County. Everyone has food to eat, everyone has clothes to wear, etc.

With such an atmosphere of living and working in peace and contentment, the people also believed in what the Kitchen King said and agreed with the Kitchen King's thoughts in their hearts. Isn't this much better than being a citizen of the Ming Dynasty?
The emperor who is far away in the capital has given them nothing but no hair. Look at the Stove King. Why not let the Stove King become the emperor? Is there still such a big disaster in the world?

Cheng Mu, the chief bookkeeper of Yanchuan, was filled with emotion now. He was not executed. The Kitchen King gave him a chance. To be precise, in the county, only the magistrate and the county magistrate were executed. He was the chief bookkeeper, and those who The inspections are all alive.

The inspection team was assigned to the militia team, while he was assigned to do his job and register his household registration.

This time, he didn't dare to mess around while working under the Kitchen King. It was already a great gift that the Kitchen King didn't execute him. Living was more important than anything else. As for whether he was a thief or not.
This is called following the heart, not following the thief. Moreover, the chief secretary feels that the Kitchen King is more suitable to be the emperor. Originally, when Yanchuan County was not captured by the Kitchen King, the people's livelihood was still in decline, but now it is Like a field in spring, it exudes endless vitality.

The chief secretary was sitting in the east of the city. He looked at the people who were hanging ropes on the city wall and brushing the black and gray objects. Although their faces were stained with dust, they were filled with smiles. He heard what the Stove King said, what is that thing called cement? Not to mention, after it was applied on the city wall, the entire city wall turned gray-white, making it look really serious.

"Sir, this is Yanchuan."

The chief clerk came back to his senses and looked at the people wandering here again. People are coming here one after another these days, either tenants who came to invest elsewhere, or victims who wandered here and heard the name Kitchen King. .

The chief clerk is used to it, but this is the first time he has seen so many people at one time, there must be hundreds.

And I saw a lot of people coming from behind.

A dark piece.
