Daming: My grandfather is Emperor Hongwu!

Chapter 234

Zhu Xiongying and the old man stood side by side at the window looking into the distance.Gradually, Zhu Xiongying noticed that many emotions appeared on Lao Tzu's face.

For Chuzhou, the old man seems to have special affection.

The inn chosen by their grandparents was just behind the city wall of Chuzhou.Looking from the second floor of the inn, it is the arrow tower with mottled traces on the city wall.

"Dasun, do you know how different Chuzhou is to us?" the old man said slowly.

"This is the first city you have conquered since Marshal Guo, the adoptive father of the emperor's grandmother, King Chuyang, established your own family!" Zhu Xiongying said, "At that time, you left Marshal Guo with only 24 like-minded people with you. Brothers and siblings, there are Wei Guogong, Xin Guogong, Hai Guogong brothers, Xingyang Hou.

Tang Shengzong, Marquis of Yan'an, Fei Ju, Marquis of Pingliang, brothers of Marquis Wuding.Then, Grandpa Huang, you returned to the village to summon 700 Fengyang disciples, and recovered [-] miscellaneous soldiers from Lvpai Village.Recover Song Guogong Feng's family, occupy Jiming Mountain, and then break Chuzhou! "

The old man was very happy to see his grandson cherish his achievements in those years.

"You're right, but you're wrong about one thing. At that time, your grandpa didn't have his own family yet. Even if Chuzhou was conquered, he would follow the orders of his commander Guo!" The old man squinted his eyes and smiled, " At that time, many people advised us, since we also occupied a state, why not learn from other military leaders, and let him be the master first. , do you know why?"

Obviously, the old man used these old events to test his grandson's character.

"The early rafters rot first?" Zhu Xiongying laughed.

"Haha, our brother Ying is smart!" The old man laughed, but his eyes were so serious. "At that time, the world was in chaos, and the imperial court couldn't suppress it. Everyone didn't know what was going to happen in the future."

"Maybe if you live today, you will die tomorrow without a place to bury you. If you want to live longer, you can't show your head and put up flags."

What the old man said casually was not a trivial matter.It's just his life's experience in troubled times.

"Although we had a little reputation at that time, our strength was still not enough. Fighting alone will sooner or later have one way of thinking. On the other hand, if we have strength, we still obey the old master. What will others say?"

"Others will say that we are benevolent and righteous, and admire us from the bottom of our hearts!"

"Holding together with the Guo family is also supporting each other and sharing the same hatred!"

"In troubled times, reputation is capital. When we have a good reputation, more people will join us, and the team will grow bigger!"

Speaking of this, the old man suddenly laughed, and patted the window with his hands, "We never thought that we would be the emperor one day, hahaha!"

"Grandfather, everything is destiny!"

"Destiny?" The old man disdainfully said, "Destiny is fake, but the knife is real. This Great Ming was created by us one by one, and it has nothing to do with destiny!"

Having said that, the old man's expression gradually became serious again.

"Actually, we didn't do well when we attacked Chuzhou!" the old man said in a low voice, "That was the first time we commanded a siege. The officers and soldiers of the Tartars had artillery, bows and arrows, bed crossbows, and kerosene at the top of the city. .”

"Brothers, there are pieces of death, and they have not been captured after four days of attack!"

"At that time, many brothers wanted to quit, and told us that if the fight continued, all brothers would die!"

"But we thought at the time, if we can't even take down the little Chuzhou. Then what kind of future are we talking about, and what qualifications do we have to lead our brothers!"

"Let's fight in person, with Xu Datang and Tang Shengzong at the front, Geng Zaicheng and Chen Heng at the side!"

At this time, the old man is not as old as usual, his eyes and tone are full of gold and iron horses from back then.

"Rush in all at once!" the old man continued.

"Then, what happened after rushing in?" Zhu Xiongying was fascinated and asked.

Suddenly, the old man fell silent.

After pondering for a while, the old man finally said, "After entering the city, the outer city where the poor people live has not been touched. The inner city full of officials and wealthy people has been washed away!"

Zhu Xiongying was shocked. The so-called washing was actually more cruel than simply massacring the city.

Looting, looting, murder and arson.

"We don't want to, but too many brothers have died. If we don't let them be happy, I'm afraid they will lose their morale!" The old man sighed.

"We still remember that when we washed the city, the guard from Chuzhou pointed at us and scolded us. Zhu Chongbaer is also from Huaixi, and Chuzhou should be your hometown. Isn't he afraid of being so violent?"

Seeing the old man like this, Zhu Xiongying also felt a little sad.

Wen Yan said in relief, "Grandpa Huang, kill ten people as a massacre, and ten thousand people as a hero. No matter how many heroes in the past and present want to succeed, it is inevitable."

Yes, Zhu Xiongying did not lie.

Turning to the history, behind the cold and brief description is the heinous cruelty.

Any turmoil in the country is a catastrophe for the people.

Officers, rebels, robbers, any armed force can turn a place into a purgatory on earth.

That's why there is a saying, prosperity of the people is suffering and death of the people is also suffering.

People, in that kind of world, are really worthless.

"Heh!" Zhu Xiongying comforted him, but he didn't want to hear the old man chuckle.

He turned his head to look at Zhu Xiongying, stroked his hair, "You, you are soft-hearted!" Then he looked at the city wall outside the window, "The guard scolded us back then, do you know how we responded?"

Zhu Xiongying shook his head.

"Let's tell the Chuzhou garrison that the disaster in Chuzhou today does not lie with us, but with Dayuan!"

"Without us, Zhu Chongba, there would be others. It is more cruel than us to break into the city, burn, kill and loot a few scrolls."

"Because everyone in the world is forced to live by the court on the head of you dog official!"

"Later, the dog officer asked Xu Da to use a stick, insert it through his buttocks, push it out of his mouth, and hang it at the gate of the barracks. He died after three full days in the dog sun!"

"Grand grandson, remember again!" The old man turned his head and looked at Zhu Xiongying with a very solemn gaze, "In the future, this world will belong to you, let me tell you this now, before we die, we will I still have to tell you!"

"Grandson strictly abides by the teachings of the emperor's grandfather!"

"The people have no food to eat, so they will rebel." The old man said seriously, "No clothes to wear, no money to spend, no family and no house are fine. But the people have no food to eat, and they will die. People have to kill people in order to survive. .”

"Killing and killing, there will only be men who can only kill in the world, and everything else will be destroyed!"

"Remember, no matter what time it is, you must feed the people."

Zhu Xiongying saluted again and said solemnly. "Grandfather, grandson, remember!"
