I, Zhu Youjian: the first prodigal son of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 204 Fighting wits and courage
Mao Yuanyi led his wheat harvesting team, starting from Datong Town, pushing all the way, grabbing the harvest of the hard-won summer grain.

Live up to his nickname of 'Mao Shaved'.

Some ordinary people also secretly snatched some before leaving.

Mao Shatou was quite satisfied with this.

However, he didn't dare to encourage the common people to rush to harvest food. Once the above-mentioned words were opened, it is estimated that the entire north and northwest would be in chaos.

Mao Shatou believes that the people need to be supported, but when necessary, they cannot be indulged and allowed to mess around.

Otherwise, he and the idiot emperor's rebellion plan might as well let others rebel first.

Those who lead soldiers pay attention to a method...

……

They rushed to collect the summer wheat like "shaved their heads" all the way, and organized a large number of original "rebel militiamen" and placed them in the designated positions so that they could block and harass them all the way after the grassland cavalry broke through.

When necessary, he will fly pigeons to send letters, and come to a summer hunting operation.

In this way, the wheat harvesting brigade gradually approached Yulin Town.

For the Ming army guarding Yulin, Mao Yuanyi naturally knew everything about it, and that Sun Chuanting was a character, and he was a reserve general handpicked by the idiot emperor.

Therefore, after Mao Shatou led the troops into Yulin Town, Sun Chuanting was the first to be dismissed and investigated.

"Excuse me, General Mao, why did you take me?"

Sun Chuanting was a Jinshi in the 47th year of Wanli. He was 35 and six years old.

He was captured by Mao Yuanyi in the name of 'delaying the fighter', and he stubbornly refused to kneel down.

Mao Yuanyi smiled and ignored it.

Some things cannot be said.

"General Mao, President Mao, you are ordered to arrest me, why?"

"Aren't you afraid of delaying the opportunity for the imperial court to act so recklessly? Under Yulin Town, the summer grain is ripe for the first time in five years, and the officials are organizing the peasants to grab the grain, General Mao!"

"Mao Shatou, you are an asshole!"

Faced with Sun Chuanting's stubbornness, Mao Yuanyi smiled instead of anger: "Hahaha, you really are a good scholar, Sun Boya, you go to a place to lead soldiers for two years.

If you want to fight, you will fight. "

Sun Chuanting was furious, struggling to curse the court and cursing Mao Shaved, but Mao Yuanyi waved his hand, tied him up, and transported him to Yan'an Mansion together with the robbed summer wheat.

To this kind of hard-headed scholar, general reasoning does not make sense at all.

If it is not done well, it will backfire.

Therefore, Mao Yuanyi had to tie him back first before talking...

……

But Sun Chuanting was tied to a "chicken bus" for transporting grain, with five or six bags of wheat ears under his body. Except for being a little confused by the sun, he was generally quite comfortable.

Seeing Mao Shashatou riding on a horse in front of him, the general soldier of Yulin Town felt aggrieved.

Why do you want to investigate him?
Since coming to Yulin Town, with an imperial decree given by the emperor, Sun Chuanting turned to sell his property, relying on his three-inch tongue, and pieced together a team of 8000 people.

Since he took command of Yulin, he has conducted day and night drills on the long-lost frontier guards, and he did not hesitate to cut down seven or eight generals and guerrillas, only to rectify the most critical military town in the north of the Ming Dynasty.

At the same time, he also actively contacted the local aristocratic families, mined coal mines, and increased the construction of water conservancy projects. More than [-] dams for water storage were built.

People in Yulin praised him as 'General Sun'.

In today's Yulin Town, not to mention defending the northern barbarian cavalry, even when fighting at home, they can play one or two offensive field battles...

"Mao Shatou, where are you tying me to?"

"Mao Yuanyi, speak up."

"Mao Datou, the latrine, the hut!"

Mao Yuanyi turned a deaf ear to it, and while directing the harvesting of grain on horseback, he conveniently placed a large number of his own people around Yulin Town.

The more Sun Chuanting thought about it, the angrier he became, and he couldn't help cursing a few more words.

Unexpectedly, near noon, he stopped cursing.

In Maihuang's June day, the bright sun almost scorched the ground. He was tied to the chicken bus, unable to move, and could only let the sun bask in it.

"Go, give Marshal Sun a sip of water."

After finally resting, Mao Yuanyi sat under an elm tree with a crooked neck to enjoy the shade, while drinking dry food and drinking water, humming comfortably, and at the same time ordered Wang Yunyan to feed Sun Chuanting.

"Mao Shatou, you are too useless!"

Sun Chuanting cursed weakly, took a sip, and his chapped and bleeding lips gradually became moist: "I think back then, when you were down and out and traveling in the northern frontier, I gave you 50 taels of silver as a gift!
Unexpectedly, the one who investigated and humiliated me today is you, the hairy shaved head!

Pooh! "

Mao Yuanyi slowly ate a large pancake, took a few gulps of water, and belched loudly: "Ah, it's comfortable, I'm going to Fenzhou Mansion after I finish cutting this piece of wheat.

By the way, after you send Marshal Sun to the place, don't rush to untie him, this guy's bones are very hard, and he will have to starve for three to five days before he can be released.

Otherwise, what if he ran away? "

Wang Yunyan suppressed a smile: "Follow the order!"

Sun Chuanting: "..."

This Mao shaved head is simply not human.

How can there be such a order to handle the case?
No... this direction?It is clearly going all the way to Yan'an Mansion!
Back then, because of Qian Qianyi's recommendation, Sun Chuanting started from scratch and formed a team of 8000 people to come to Yulin Town as the commander of the capital. Wasn't it just to prepare to conquer bandits?

Later, he asked people to inquire about the three places of Yan'an Mansion, Qingyang Mansion, and Pingliang Mansion, where the local tyrants were beaten to divide the land, so that the hungry people who were eating shit could finally have a meal of suspense. ...

"Mao Shatou, you... don't you mean to deliver me to the bandits from the Three Houses?" Sun Chuanting asked.

"That's right, someone has 100 million gold coins and wants to buy your head."

Mao Yuanyi said casually.

Sun Chuanting looked confused: "Mao Shatou, what nonsense are you talking about? I, Sun Chuanting, a scholar, was granted the title of commander of Yulin Township just now because of the emperor's favor;
There are no more than [-] soldiers under him, so can they be worth millions of gold coins? "

Mao Yuanyi laughed out loud, not wanting to waste his tongue.

This Sun Chuanting was Mao Yuanyi's old friend, and even, to a certain extent, his Mao Yuanyi's benefactor.

My benefactor, I will be hungry for a few days.

"Mao Shatou, you bad bastard, villain!"

"Back then, I, Sun Chuanting, was really blind to make friends with you and other young people!"

"Pooh!"

Sun Chuanting cursed loudly.

Not to mention, this scholar really has a way of scolding people. Many words don't sound harmful, but they are quite insulting.

He just wanted to anger Mao Yuanyi.

Unexpectedly, Mao Yuanyi, who used to play tricks with others at every turn, has now cultivated into a piece of hob meat, without oil or salt, and turns a deaf ear to Sun Chuanting's taunts and curses from various postures and angles.

Like, he didn't even hear it.

This made Sun Chuanting even more angry.

"Mao shaves his head, give me a few mouthfuls of steamed buns..."

Finally, after more than an hour, Sun Chuanting calmed down.

I was so thirsty and hungry that I could not scold anymore.

"Then take a breath, Wang Yunyan, you go to direct the harvesting of wheat, and I will personally greet Marshal Sun." Mao Yuanyi sent Wang Yunyan and others away, and then came over with a water bag.

"Come on, take a few sips first, moisten your throat before scolding."

"I'll just... okay."

Faced with Mao Yuanyi, who was like a hob, Sun Chuanting really had no temper.

"Come on, take a few mouthfuls of steamed buns and build up some strength."

"Ok."

After Sun Chuanting finished eating most of the pancakes and drank a few mouthfuls of water, Mao Yuanyi took out a small oil-paper packet from his bosom and slowly opened it, revealing half a roast chicken.

In addition, as if conjuring, he took out a flat metal wine jug from his waist, on which were engraved with the words 'Da Ming Yujian wine jug' and so on.

"Would you like a few sips of wine?" Mao Yuanyi took a sip and fed it to Sun Chuanting, "This is poisonous wine bestowed by the emperor, he ordered me to kill you halfway.

Alas, that idiot emperor, isn't this embarrassing?

Who am I, Mao Yuanyi, don't you, Sun Chuanting, know?I am the one who values ​​friendship the most, how can I be willing to poison you Sun Boya to death all at once..."

Mao Yuanyi squatted next to the chicken bus and chattered for a long time.

The smell of alcohol, together with the aroma of roast chicken, mixed together, was very fatal to Sun Chuanting.

If it wasn't for a few sips of water and half a pancake, he would have succumbed to Mao Shatou's 'desire' by now.

"Why did the emperor poison me, Sun Chuanting?"

"How do I know? I'm not his own son."

Sun Chuanting: "..."

"Mao Shatou, what kind of medicine are you selling in this gourd, can't you tell me about it?" Sun Chuanting sighed, and said with a wry smile: "Could it be that you, Mao Yuanyi, have joined the eunuch party?
It shouldn't be, that day you were implicated by Yang Gao and thrown into the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. My brother has inquired many times, you would rather die than submit, even if the eunuchs tortured you, you never let go.

You Mao Shatou is not that kind of person. "

Mao Yuanyi took a sip of wine and stared into the distance.

The area of ​​Yulin Town near Yan'an Mansion has extremely harsh natural conditions. It can be said that there has been a ten-year drought, and the people are suffering unspeakably.

This year, there have been two torrential rains, and the wheat harvest has been bumper.

Seeing that the golden grain was about to be harvested and put into the warehouse, but they were getting angry and instigated by the Erut tribe, where Hakshi Baba was, and 30 million prairie cavalry were watching, and they might go south at any time.

The Ming Dynasty, inside and out, up and down, has already rotted into a piece of carrion, which cannot be rescued at all.

Prosperity, the people suffer;
die, the people suffer.

People are suffering this hard time, when will it end...

"Bo Ya, what do you think is the biggest thought of us scholars?" Mao Yuanyi sighed, tore a large piece of chicken and stuffed it into Sun Chuanting's mouth, with a sad look on his face.

"Give me a sip of wine!"

After chewing and swallowing a mouthful of chicken, Sun Chuanting's spirit improved a lot, and he said angrily, "Aren't scholars just selling goods to the emperor's family, helping the world and helping the people, reporting to the court, and pacifying the people?

Mao Shatou, after you got promoted and made a fortune, why are you still confused? "

"One more sip of wine!"

Mao Yuanyi took a small bite first, but tore a large piece of chicken, smashed it into Sun Chuanting's mouth, and said with a smile: "You old boy, you are just one year older than me, and you really think of yourself as a brother!"

Sun Chuanting chewed a large piece of chicken for a long time, humming comfortably.

"Mao Shaved, take a sip of wine."

"What you said is wrong, there is no wine to drink," Mao Yuanyi angrily tore a piece of chicken, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed randomly, and said vaguely: "The idiot emperor said that if the answer is incorrect, there is no wine to drink .”

Sun Chuanting: "..."

He has never seen what the current emperor looks like. He has only heard from those officials that his elder brother is a carpenter emperor and his younger brother is a blacksmith emperor. He is not only a big idiot, but also a complete prodigal son.

"Mao Shatou, take a sip of wine," Sun Chuanting's tone gradually softened, "Besides, don't make arrangements for the current emperor.

Generally speaking, I think my brother is okay, not very stupid.

Taking the various measures he has taken over the past year since he became the throne, it cannot be said that they are completely correct, but we can still see that the emperor is very sympathetic to the common people, and only harms the interests of those wealthy and aristocratic families.

Therefore, the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty began to arrange indiscriminately.

Are you, Mao Yuanyi, that kind of person? "

Mao Yuanyi stared at Sun Chuanting seriously, and said, "Are you sure what you mean?"

His eyes are piercing, full of murderous intent.

It seemed that Sun Chuanting was only bored for a while by the kind of eyes that were about to hurt someone if he said it was not good.

"Go away, Mao Yuanyi, are you confused when you are an official?"

"Let's get down to business, are you sure you didn't join the eunuch party and become the claws and teeth of Wei Zhongxian and Wang Chengen?"

"If this is the case, then do it as soon as possible, lest you be so embarrassing."

Sun Chuanting smacked his lips, slowly closed his eyes, and said in a hateful voice: "It's a pity that I, Sun Chuanting, can't die on the battlefield, but I have to be humiliated by you Mao Yuanyi in every possible way.

Forget it, go and enjoy your glory and wealth..."

He wanted to say a few more words of emotion, but his mouth was blocked by the jug.

"Drink, drink, drink to death, you old boy," Mao Yuanyi sneered again and again, "I will let you die today. The emperor passed down a secret decree, saying that your Sun Chuanting reads until your brain is flooded. ;

He asked me to bring you a sentence, do you want to listen? "

"Don't listen!" Sun Chuanting yelled angrily, "If you want to do something, do it quickly!"

"Really not listening?" Mao Yuanyi asked.

"Do not listen!"

"Hehe, that's good, I'll just tell you."

Sun Chuanting stiffened his neck, tilted his head to one side, and simply stopped talking.

When encountering Mao Yuanyi's kind of hob meat, he had nothing to do. Back then, they often bickered like this when they were studying in the front line of Shanhaiguan.

At that time, Mao Yuanyi still had a bit of a temper, and if he said he couldn't do it, he would do it, and he could be knocked to the ground with three punches and two kicks.

Today, the villain is successful.

No hands, but a mouth will make him half dead.

"The idiot emperor passed down a secret decree, ordering you to secretly form an army of King Qin, ready to clear the emperor's side at any time, eradicate the eunuchs, and kill those corrupt officials. When necessary, horses will step on the rich and powerful families in the south of the Yangtze River to win a hot meal for our Ming people. "

"If you don't listen, forget it."

"Master Sun, farewell!"

Mao Yuanyi put away the roast chicken and wine pot, carried a sheepskin water bag, and walked towards the war horse tied to an elm tree with a crooked neck.

The back view is a little bit bleak.
