Begging in late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 114
A lot of luggage is thrown messily on the bed and on the ground. Sometimes I always feel that I am poor, but when I really move, I can pull out a lot of things. This time the escape is also the same. The tableware, tools, and clothes carefully prepared in the kitchen, okay? The milk and goats that were easy to prepare were all turned into ashes in the big explosion, but there were still a lot of things brought out in large and small packages.

Just like Song Qingshu himself, 30 yuan of soap is enough for him to buy for a month, and he went to the printing shop to buy "Five Classics of Justice" and "Four Books", and then was forced to read by Caiwei. The standard civil servant textbooks these days, some glass bottles for extracting penicillin, and messy clothes.

Song Qingshu looked distracted when he was cleaning up. He threw the clothes into the box without folding them, and the books were also thrown in a mess. During the day, the food account that Scarface calculated for him really made him shudder. His heart was moved, but afterwards he always felt that something was wrong.

But according to Scarface's explanation, the government is too lazy to go to the countryside in winter, and there is a person of his own in the county seat. Didn't see anything missing?But for some reason, Song Qingshu felt a little uneasy.

Just when Song Qingshu was restless, there was a sudden knock on the door, and Song Qingshu said casually, "The door is unlocked, come in!"

The people who came in were quite surprised. Zhang Xianzhong, he and Bai Laoer never knocked on the door. Looking at his hooded appearance, Song Qingshu couldn't help laughing, and joked with a smile: "Why, today's sun Coming out from the west, Zhang Huanghu also wants to be a literati, so he knows there is a knock on the door!"

"Don't talk nonsense, come here to discuss something with you!" The rough man is used to being a civilized person, and he grinned, Zhang Xianzhong waved his hand in embarrassment, and then said solemnly, but Song Qingshu who listened Another surprise.

"Brother, what's the matter, I still need to discuss it?"

"This is a big deal, of course we have to discuss it!" Rubbing his fingers, Zhang Xianzhong lowered his voice a little, and discussed with Song Qingshu in a low voice: "Brother, you have so much free space here, look, can you let the old man Brother, let me bring some people over, and also plant incense in Funiu Mountain?"

Zhang Xianzhong's words made Song Qingshu stunned for a moment, but he understood after only a moment.

What is second only to family relations these days?Country Party!

The neighborhood relationship of the ancients is not like that of our later generations, where the security door is locked and no one knows anyone. In order to fight against the harsh living environment, sometimes they jointly fight against government taxes, or other villages grab water sources. With a bang, even in the early twentieth century in Guangdong and Fujian, where big clans often fought over water sources, and later even if Song Qingshu was thrown into this era, the drug-making villages that broke out in the news, and the villages that swindled children with a lot of money, are the same. It is also a legacy of this township party relationship.

In history, Zhang Xianzhong called on the peasants of the Eighteen Villages to revolt in Liushujian Fort in Yansui, which kicked off the vigorous prelude to the Peasant War in the late Ming Dynasty. At this time, although Zhang Xianzhong has not raised the flag to formally rebel, he can be arrested. Zhang Xianzhong did not do little to benefit the Xiangdang, and now that he has fled, it is reasonable for him to want to draw the Xiangdang from that impoverished place.

However, what effect will it have on yourself?
It doesn't seem to have any bad effects. Song Qingshu doesn't have such big ambitions when others travel to later generations to become kings and hegemons. He is satisfied with living happily with one wife and one concubine.

Although it seems that a copycat village is quite powerful now, in fact it is too unreliable to count on those bandits, they are as unruly as they can fight, and the rest are peasants who join in the fun. If Zhang Xianzhong brings people here, The strength will be much stronger, where is Zhang Xianzhong from?That is Yansui Town, one of the Nine Sides of Ming Dynasty!Almost every household is a frontier soldier of the guards. They are tough and aggressive, and their combat power is as high as that of the mainland. They can be regarded as the might of a fox and a tiger. With his support, Song Qingshu is absolutely sure to suppress Shangnan County.

Anyway, it is not a problem to feed 800 more people with high-yielding plants such as sweet potatoes and potatoes, and there are more powerful combat forces to rely on.And even if he really can't survive in the future, if he sells Zhang Xianzhong a big favor now, he probably won't be able to treat himself badly if he hangs out with the Eight Great Kings in the future.

Thinking of this, Song Qingshu immediately lined up a row of boards, and said boldly: "Brother, you will be offended if you say that! We are brothers who have kowtowed, and besides, when we bought the land, we also left you a house. Bring as many people as you want, and I welcome the third child with open arms!"

"Brothers!"

This is not a question of loyalty in the world, but a big question about the entire township party and clan. The most difficult thing these days is to have enough food!Zhang Xianzhong thought that Song Qingshu would have to be embarrassed a few times, but he didn't expect him to agree so readily, he was very grateful immediately, and went up to give him another big bear hug. As a result, Song Qingshu's eyes almost popped out when he was strangled by his two arms, hissing He took a breath of cold air.

"Brother! Brother, there is an injury! It hurts!"

…………

What is impatient, Zhang Xianzhong called it. As soon as Song Qingshu agreed, without saying a word, he clasped his fists and said goodbye. After pulling two good horses in the yard, he dragged Bai Wenxuan and was about to set off back to northern Shaanxi. Song Qingshu had to chase after him in embarrassment. Go out, follow behind and shout: "Big brother! Second brother! Don't be in a hurry now! The north side is smashed now! At least stay for one night, make a plan before leaving!"

Immediately whipping the whip, Zhang Xianzhong showed the incomparably hearty heart of the northern Shaanxi man at this time, laughed and gave the dazed Bai Wenxuan a whip on the back of his buttocks, and while he was baring his teeth in pain, he punched Song Qingshu heartily : "Don't worry, brother! I'm used to going to these places all the year round. Besides, Bai Erqian Jinyiwei also has some connections, so nothing will happen to us!"

"It's one month sooner, or two months later. Brother, I will bring someone back! I hope my brother will make arrangements in advance! Let's go!"

With a yell, the whips and horses were raised, and in a blink of an eye, the two riders disappeared like shooting stars, disappearing on the dirt road in the countryside, trampling the ground to collect dust.

Watching them go, Song Qingshu was quite emotional for a moment. Speaking of his time travel for more than two years, he was really destined to be with this famous murderer king in later generations. Forced to stand together.

Zhang Xianzhong is indeed as the later generations said, he is domineering, cruel and cunning, and likes to kill and cold-blooded, but his loyalty and brotherhood really make Song Qingshu unable to find anything wrong. Now they have been away for a month or two, but let him Song Qingshu was quite uncomfortable.

"why did you leave?"

Just as Song Qingshu was sighing, Scarface rushed out from behind abruptly, looked at Zhang Xianzhong's two headings, and shouted in shock: "Why are you leaving?"

"Don't we have a lot of land here? Brother Zhang wants to bring the clan over when he goes back. At that time, we will find a way to open another mountain farm near Funiu Mountain and resettle his village party members. The grain we are hoarding now will be crowded." It should be enough, right? Recently, I’m trying to find a way to go to Yanchi or Bazhong, and get some salt!”

Song Qingshu said it as it should be, but Scarface immediately widened his eyeballs when he heard it, pointed to the north angrily, and shouted furiously: "My little ancestor! What happened? General Du Wenhuan is blocked in Qingjian, and deputy general He Huchen is out of Guyuan! North Yansui Governor Yue Hesheng should supervise Luochuan. At this juncture, you let Zhang Huanghu lead people through Xi'an. When you come to our place, you just wait. See you in misfortune and bad luck!"

Scarface was furious, but Song Qingshu didn't take it seriously, who is Zhang Xianzhong?Rogue!How many times he broke out from the encirclement net of the government army. There is a nursery rhyme in Sichuan that describes Zhang Xianzhong's ability to run.

In the front, there was Shao Xunfu, who often came to the troupe to perform dances; in the back, there was Liao Jianjun, who would follow me if he didn't occupy it; what a Yangge department, it was three days away from me!
Yang Sichang almost unleashed the last strength of the Ming Dynasty, and he failed to catch up with Zhang Xianzhong in Sichuan. It is estimated that the soldiers and horses in Shaanxi are not more than tens of thousands, and it is easy for Zhang Xianzhong to sneak through with hundreds of people. !

"Don't worry, Brother Zhang knows it well, there's no need to worry!" Full of relief, Song Qingshu tried to persuade him again, but the scarred face shook his head helplessly.

"I hope you boy is right!"

After finishing speaking, Scarface turned his head and ran back quickly, his legs were flying upside down, and he rushed back to his room in the blink of an eye. After reading Song Qingshu, he was really speechless. Why is he so impatient now?
"Hey, Lao Xia, where are you going?"

"Hurry up and pack up your things and go back to Songjia Village, before the officers and soldiers call over!"

"I told you, it's all right!"

…………

It's really like what Scarface said, twenty or so people cleaned it up, regardless of Song Qingshu's injuries, and returned to Shangluo Mountain the next day, but Scarface is really talking about, the production team that was discharged None of them recruited back. After all, it was more than a month of hard work. In the next spring, they will not die of starvation, but they can all be counted on!
It seems that Scarface really used to farm fields in Liaodong before. Along the way, the deserted villages he passed last time are now filled up. The fields are all covered with weed insulation mats. Although the potato seedlings on them look wilted Baba, but at any rate, under the cold wind in November, they are still alive. After more than a month, these guys can be thrown out. Although it has been a long time to eat sweet potatoes and potatoes, people are prone to malnutrition. But in this era of starvation, what more is there to ask for to be alive?
Along the way, not only the production teams from Funiu Mountain worked in the fields, but also many refugees from northern Shaanxi and farmers who originally escaped from the famine, and many of them actually joined in. Song Qingshu didn't know how many there were. Anyway, in the small villages along the way, you can see farmers carrying hoes and buckets to weed and irrigate the fields. Because they planted the seeds of Funiu Mountain, those farmers also listened to the production team's arrangement and took turns to use the poor water source. Nothing happened. If it wasn't for the cold wind and the withered grass, at this time, there would be a feeling of peace and spring plowing.

Patrol along the way, a kind of mentality of patrolling his own kingdom unconsciously arises in Song Qingshu's heart...
