First Minister of Ming Dynasty

"Wang Heihu!"

Zhang Ximeng called out his name suddenly, and now the big guy flashed to the sides, revealing a big black guy, this guy was Wang Heihu.

With nowhere to hide, he could only bite the bullet and come over to salute Zhang Ximeng.

"I've seen Zhang Xiang."

Zhang Ximeng looked at him, and suddenly said sullenly: "Report for an official position, what is your current position?"

"I... I, Deputy Qianhu."

He said the adverb very lightly, and even made mouth shapes, but who is Zhang Ximeng, how can he not tell it!

"You haven't been promoted to the leader of Qianhu, the leader of the serious eight classics, is it because you failed the culture class?"

Wang Heihu gritted his teeth and said, "I, I can write, and I can write more than 1000 words!"

Zhang Ximeng snorted, "You just don't know how to do arithmetic, right?"

"Yes!" Wang Heihu gritted his teeth and said: "Writing, military regulations, drawing maps, these things, if you work hard, it will take a few more years. But, the arithmetic is different. This thing, this thing is impossible No, no way, no lie at all!"

"You still have the face to say it!" Zhang Ximeng said angrily: "When Yangzhou was broken, you were the first to surrender. In terms of seniority, Zhu Liangzu and the others are not as good as you. In terms of fighting skills, you have not lost all these years." Meritorious service. You said why you got stuck in the cultural class, you, you are really pissed off!"

Wang Heihu simply lay flat and did not argue anymore.

"Zhang Xiang, you're right, but I just can't learn it. I'm too old to stay in the army, blocking the way of young people behind me. I want to go to the countryside and do something for the common people. I, I I was born in Orion, and I grew up eating hundreds of meals when I was a child. I haven’t learned arithmetic these years, but I understand that to be a man, you must have a conscience, you must be worthy of your ancestors, and you must set your heart straight, and you must not allow people to poke your spine.”

Zhang Ximeng sighed slightly. To be honest, this guy in front of him was indeed a pity. He belonged to everything, but he was stuck in cultural class, otherwise a commander would not be able to escape.

"If you think about it this way, Bai has been in the army for so many years. Virtue comes first... You are not bad among my students."

Wang Heihu was startled, but was so overjoyed that he couldn't even slap him together.

"Zhang Xiang, you, do you recognize me as a worthless student?"

Zhang Ximeng gave him a blank stare, "Don't you have to be a general to be considered promising? If you can do one thing well, be a good person, and have a clear heart, you are considered a good student! But I recognize you as a student. But I can’t issue you a diploma, and I can’t make you a thousand households.”

"No, no need." Wang Heihu shook his head hastily, and grinned with a big mouth. Tears flowed from the corners of his eyes, "Sir, I, I will remember this forever. I will never forget it until I die!"

Zhang Ximeng stretched out his hand, patted him on the shoulder, and said in a low voice, "It's not that simple to go to work in the village, learn arithmetic well, and benefit the people. The situation you will face in the future will be more complicated. Be patient, learn to control your temper, and don't get angry with the folks. We are not going to be uncles. But, when encountering injustice, we must take care of it! You can't turn a blind eye to it. If there is a problem, just Look for local officials, trainers, and even me. I will not be merciful if I do evil. But if I am bullied or wronged, I will not agree!"

"Ok!"

Wang Heihu nodded vigorously, "I know, disciple, all disciples know!"

Zhang Ximeng didn't want to say so much at first, but being among the soldiers, Teacher Zhang's attributes exploded again.

He took the trouble to remind him over and over again, there was no rush, no delay.Be patient, be principled...

It was only when the sun turned west that Zhang Ximeng watched the big guy leave, saying goodbye.

By the time Zhang Ximeng returned to his residence, Jiang Nan had already reheated the dishes three times.

"Drink some of this first to moisten your throat."

Zhang Ximeng took it, and it turned out to be peppermint water, with some white flower nectar added, not only quenching thirst, but also refreshing.

"Thank you ma'am.

Jiang Nan laughed lightly, "You, it must be the fault of being a teacher again, but this is the first batch of soldiers to go down, which is really the key. If one fails, all the hard work these days will be wasted again."

Zhang Ximeng was stunned, and could only smile wryly: "We have achieved this step, the rest is up to the big guys. From my heart, I believe in the common people. They are far smarter than us and can see clearly."

Jiang Nan pondered for a while, and said to Zhang Ximeng, "Hurry up and eat, there are still business to be done!"

Zhang Ximeng hesitated a little, looked at the beautiful lady in the light green dress, suddenly her heart beat twice, and she hurriedly ate with her head down, gulping...

At this time, Wang Heihu had left Kaifeng and headed for a small village in Chenzhou.

Before that, his understanding of Chenzhou was limited to Bao Zheng's release of food in Chenzhou, and then nothing else.

This time he went over with two hundred coins in his pocket, which is a sum of money that every soldier can get, it can be regarded as start-up capital.

After arriving in the village, they led the organized people to buy farm tools and seeds, and the condition was good to buy a few cattle.

Then level the land, build water conservancy, and lead the big guys to plow the fields and restore people's livelihood.

This is the plan that Zhang Ximeng, Zhu Yuanzhang, and a few talented people came up with together, so naturally it can't go wrong.

But is this really the case?

Wang Heihu drove for several days, and when he arrived in Chenzhou, he found the village. Looking around, not only was there no one there, but black smoke was rising from several places.

He hurried over to check, it turned out to be a burned house, what happened?

Didn't it mean that the people were all organized?

Don't you want to lead the big guys to farm the land?

Also let the big guys buy seed farming tools?

Here, how to buy this?

Wang Heihu searched for a long time, but he didn't see a living person. In front of him, there was only a desolation... Wang Heihu found a willow tree and sat down against the rough trunk.

Thinking about it silently, in fact, with a little understanding of the brain, you can understand that the things Zhang Ximeng envisioned cannot be wrongly calculated, but the situation in the local area is definitely [-] times more complicated.

Just imagine, if it is really possible to successfully form a village society and integrate the people together... Why did Zhang Ximeng go to such great lengths to borrow money and encourage soldiers to go to the countryside?

If the land of the Central Plains can really rely on its own strength to regain its vitality, even if a few people die a little, as long as the loss is not too big, why not take the opportunity to conquer the capital?

Zhu Yuanzhang's analysis is very good, but in the final analysis, isn't he still not strong enough!

What's the problem?

It's just in the place... Ten years of war, hundreds of thousands of defeated soldiers, repeated seesaws and ravages, the Central Plains have long been riddled with holes and scars.

Where the Ming army could reach, order could still be restored, but what would it be like where the Ming army could not reach?

In every war, ten rooms and nine empties, Huguang fills Sichuan, Jiangxi fills Huguang, large locust trees immigrate... Behind these things are the bones of countless people.

If there is no proper solution, the existing people in the Central Plains will also suffer huge losses.

When the time comes to immigrate from the south, the loss will be heavy again, and the bones will fill the wild.

It's not that Zhang Ximeng doesn't know what's good and what's wrong, and insists on being brave and being ingenious... But behind the triumphant progress, there is a too cruel reality. The people of the Central Plains starve to death, are robbed and killed by bandits all the time...

Wang Heihu sat bored for more than an hour, after thinking about these things clearly, he was eager to try.

Back then, I was an Orion, and after ten years in the military, I honed my skills, and I didn't lose my Orion instincts.

Now facing the scene of vigorous vitality and all things competing to grow, his hunting instinct instantly recovered.

He searched carefully and found the horseshoe prints when the bandits left. He followed the marks until midnight, when he found a bandit's lair in a valley.

The hills on both sides are not high, and the guards of these thieves are not strict. There are only two people standing guard outside, and in the middle of the night, they are all breathing.

Don't get me wrong, they are not guarding against the court... What kind of shit court, it has long since ceased to exist.

We just need to guard against other bandits and grass bandits who will eat black.

I just robbed a village and looted dozens of people. The young girls and daughters-in-law all paid tribute to the leader, and the rest were coolies in the village.Those who can't do the work are driven into the mountains to fend for themselves.

how?

Feel cruel?

The officers and soldiers are not as good as us!

Wang Heihu was very patient. He checked the situation carefully to determine the scale of the thieves.

It's not a big problem, it only looks like a hundred people.

One-to-one hundred, outrageous?

As the Deputy Qianhu in the Ming Army, I can only say that I have the advantage!

Wang Heihu waited until midnight, only half an hour before dawn.He shot decisively, and with only two arrows, he shot through the throats of the two minions.

Before they shout out, the battle is over.

Afterwards, Wang Heihu, like a monkey, climbed into the gate of the village, touched the warehouse, and then came to the familiar part of setting fire... What is a mere cottage, he touched the city and set fire to the city more times.

Then the warehouse was closed.

It doesn't matter if it's just caught, Wang Heihu roared at the top of his voice behind the billowing black smoke, shouting and killing, causing many enemies to sneak attack.

The question is can one person do it?

What's so difficult about this, we are in the army, and we don't understand the Southern accent and North tune, so it's still a matter of simulating several different voices?

Wang Heihu developed his thousand-level operating ability... set fire, run, shouted to kill, and shot cold arrows at the thieves who came running.

Before a quarter of an hour had passed, the hasty thieves scattered like birds and beasts.

Then Wang Heihu went to the dungeon behind and rescued the people.Then he remembered another thing, and hastily took out a Ming flag from the backpack behind him.

Facing the rising sun, Wang Heihu raised the red flag high and roared loudly.

"I'm here, Daming is here!"

Chapter 5 and Six Mr. Zhang Doesn’t Often

Wang Heihu thought he was handsome, but in the eyes of the villagers who escaped from death, it was just a roar, meaningless.

Ming dynasty?

What the hell?

Can you eat?

Or one of the new bandits?Known as Daming?

How can these goddamn people keep dying!

Wang Heihu looked back at the bewildered eyes of this group of people. He was not unfamiliar at all. Before he joined Daming, or in the past few years, every time he laid down a new territory, he would meet such bewildered people.

At first glance, you will hate their numbness, ignorance, ignorance, and dullness. You can't wait to beat them with a leather whip, mourn their misfortune, and anger them for not fighting.

But if you carefully understand their situation, ask them about their life experiences, and know their experiences, if you don’t feel sympathetic, then you have a moral problem.

Who doesn't want to be happy and smile... It's a pity that the cruel life has deprived them of the right to laugh and even think.

Wang Heihu didn't want to say anything...he turned around and found a few swords and two bows, all left by the bandits.

He also managed to find a few young and smart people among the people, and asked them to hold weapons and arm them.

Then Wang Heihu led them to the red flag.

"kneel!"

The first time he yelled, a few people didn't respond, so he had to yell loudly. As a result, two guys threw their weapons away in fright, hugged their heads, and lay on the ground.

Wang Heihu was so angry that he almost fell on his back, he could only kick the two people up, let them learn from him, knelt down on one knee, and saluted to the flag.

There is no need to ask, except for Wang Heihu, everyone else did it poorly.There was no other way but to drive the ducks to the shelves. Wang Heihu led them and found some food stored by the bandits.

He brought a big pot again and cooked the rice on the spot.

When the fragrance of rice came out, the numb crowd finally moved a little bit, and some young and strong pushed forward, trying to grab the food, but Wang Heihu's strength was not something they could defeat, so they could only hope.

As a result, everyone who rushed to the front was hit by Wang Heihu's iron fist.

"A worthless thing, only thinking about yourself? There are so many people behind you? Those are your mothers, your fathers, your brothers and sisters! Kill you shameless people!"

This group of people were beaten up with bruised noses and swollen faces, but they didn't dare to run away. After all, this was the only place where they could get something to eat... Wang Heihu was also very helpless.

Zhang Xiang repeatedly told himself that he should love the people and be kind to the people.

As a result, I hit people as soon as I came up, which completely violated the teacher's teachings, but what can I do, I can't do without beating!

After everyone finished their meal, Wang Heihu immediately called a few people and asked them to lead him the way to find other bandit nests.

In the following days, Wang Heihu continued to suppress the bandits, rescued the people, and distributed the looted money, food, weapons and cloth to the big guys.

In the first few times, Wang Heihu did it himself, and the young and strong people were only responsible for leading the way.

But gradually, they became more courageous and followed Wang Heihu.

At first they just wanted to drive away the bandits, take advantage of it, and get some supplies.

Later, when there were too many people, it was simply surrounded, captured prisoners, and even nested.

The captives were captured, and after Wang Heihu's roar, they tremblingly joined his team and became Wang Heihu's subordinates.

Needless to say, these captives work harder, much better than the villagers.
