Perhaps because he felt that the tense string in his heart was about to break, Zhu Yousong decided to do spring plowing on his own fiefdom first, and he could also go there to relax. No matter how nervous he was, the matter would never be solved until the end. question.
King Fu's fiefdom included 20,000 hectares of farmland. In addition to the continuous purchase of abandoned fields, it now totaled more than 25,000 hectares, which is equivalent to more than 17,000 hectares today. The area is quite large. It is also extremely cumbersome to manage. Fortunately, Prince Fu's Mansion usually takes in many talents, and Xu Yuan, who manages Zhuang Tian, ??is one of them.
Xu Yuan managed the large and small farms in an orderly manner, so that Prince Fu's Mansion could have plenty of rice even in turbulent times. However, this is also based on the powerful men that Prince Fu's Mansion has on hand.
Normally, there are only a few hundred guards in Prince Fu's Mansion, but once summoned, tens of thousands of people can be gathered. Most of the men and horses are lurking in the manor as strong men. They work diligently when there is nothing to do, and when there is something to do, they go into battle with their swords. Just like the Tang Dynasty's military system.
On this day, the sun was still missing, but the weather became clearer, and it was particularly pleasant to see the snowy scenery.
Under the leadership of Zhu Chengfang, Zhu Yousong took Song Laifu to the manor early in the morning.
Along the way, all the passers-by I saw were ragged and skinny. Some people saw Zhu Yousong's group of well-dressed and angry horses. They even came forward and asked to be taken in as slaves just for a meal, or begged to buy his children just for the money to go home and not to die in a foreign country.
When I go out to the suburbs, I see abandoned corpses on the roadside from time to time, a desolate and turbulent scene.
The people are in dire straits, and the country is in chaos. He is now terminally ill, and without serious medicine, he may not be able to recover. I'm afraid this heavy medicine will have to fall on my shoulders.
Zhu Yousong frowned, and his thoughts seemed to be getting more and more intense. A kind of irritability came to his heart. At that moment, he swung the riding whip in his hand and hit the horse's butt with a loud snap.
With a hiss, the horse neighed in pain, kicked and ran wildly, leaving everyone behind.
Song Laifu and others were in a hurry and hurriedly urged their horses to follow them. However, Zhu Yousong was riding one of the strongest horses in Prince Fu's palace. How could the ordinary horses under them be able to catch up? After half a while, they had already been thrown away. Behind.
Running wildly all the way, Zhu Yousong felt that the pressure on his heart seemed to decrease little by little with the bumps, and he ignored it at the moment, letting the horse run freely.
I don¡¯t know how long I ran, but I felt that the horse gradually slowed down. In the end, the horse went to the snow to eat the grass roots below.
Zhu Yousong looked around and found that he had arrived in front of a mountain forest. The mountain was not high but the trees were extremely lush. I couldn't help but think of the Red Lady's deeds when she was a bandit, especially the famous saying "I drove this road, I planted this tree. If you pass by here, leave the money to buy the road.", I couldn't help but smile.
"Don't run! If you run again, I will shoot!"
Suddenly, a drake-like voice sounded.
Zhu Yousong sat on his horse and looked towards the coming sound. There were dense trees, but he could only hear the sound but not see the person.
After a while, there was a crashing sound, and a thin figure rushed out from the dense forest. Seeing Zhu Yousong standing on the road, he was startled at first, and then continued to rush forward without looking back.
Whoosh, a loud arrow shot out from the dense forest, heading straight for the thin figure who had not taken a few steps.
This arrow is fast and steady. In Zhu Yousong's eyes, this arrow will definitely hit.
But when the thin figure heard the wind behind him, he didn't even look back. He twisted his waist and stepped sideways, instantly dodging the arrow.
Seeing this situation, Zhu Yousong's eyes were slightly closed. This person was dexterous in body skills and was obviously a martial arts practitioner. He was afraid that he would encounter a vendetta in the world.
The archer seems to know that his arrow has not hit the opponent, but he keeps firing arrows. In just a few breaths, he has shot three arrows, and each arrow must hit the vital part of the thin figure.
Although the thin figure often dodges at critical moments, it obviously affects the running speed.
The next moment, there was a crash, and two big men sprang out from the dense forest. They strode towards the thin figure like meteors, but the noisy arrows kept shooting out.
Soon, under the influence of the ringing arrow, the thin figure was overtaken by the two big streams. One of the big men roared angrily, and his fist as big as a bowl smashed into the back of the thin figure.
The thin figure could no longer run, so he suddenly dwarfed and used force on his feet. When the big man's fist barely hit him, he ran to Zhu Yousong's horse in time, then flew onto the horse and hugged Zhu Yousong. He said in a deep voice: "This strong man, please lend me your horse!"
After the thin figure finished speaking, he was about to squeeze the horse's belly with his feet to make it run. Unexpectedly, the fat man he was hugging gently touched his lifeline, and his bodyI suddenly lost control and couldn't use any more strength. She was shocked, never expecting that such a fat man who seemed harmless to humans and animals could actually be a master.
When the two big men saw that the man no longer ran away, they jumped on the horse of the fat man in front of them. Thinking that Zhu Yousong was the man's accomplice, they shouted angrily, attacked from the left and the right, and suddenly swung their fists at Zhu Yousong. Song struck, trying to knock them off their horses before they could move their horses.
Zhu Yousong laughed, and swung the riding whip in his hand like a snake coming out of its hole. The head of the whip was like a dragonfly nodding, and he quickly clicked on the wrists of the two big men. The latter was shocked as if they were struck by lightning, and looked at Zhu Yousong in horror. You Song slowly withered away.
The thin figure holding Zhu Yousong's eyes widened even more, looking at this incredible scene, feeling unbelievable.
At this time, several more people ran out from the dense forest. The first person was holding a bow and arrow. It must be the person who shot the arrow to block the thin figure. The person saw that Zhu Yousong just waved his horse whip and knocked down his men. I am afraid he must be a master in his movements, so he couldn't help but shout loudly: "This friend has invited me. This is the fiefdom of Prince Fu's Mansion. We are the guards of the manor, but the man next to my friend is a runaway slave."
In the Ming Dynasty, household registration management was extremely strict, and good people and slaves were divided into very fine details. As a slave, you have no choice but to live or die; once you escape, no matter the government or the people, you will be tolerated by society. Everyone can beat the escaped slave to death without being restricted by the law.
This person clearly uses his power to deceive others, and as soon as he comes up, he regards himself as a guard of Prince Fu's Mansion, and he clearly wants to use Prince Fu's Mansion to oppress others. If it had been anyone else, he would have dismounted, apologized, and sent the escaped slave up. However, what they met was the real King Fu.
"Young master, don't listen to their nonsense. I was just hunting in the mountains. As soon as they saw me alone, they wanted to capture me and make me a slave." The thin figure said angrily on the horse, "He also said that he wanted me to do it. What a lousy old man¡¯s concubine.¡±
Concubine?
Only then did Zhu Yousong understand that no wonder there were always two lumps of soft flesh pressing on his lower back. It felt weird. It turned out that the person holding him tightly was a woman. He laughed and said: "I didn't expect such a bloody plot. Let me meet you too. Well, let me be a hero and save the beauty!"¡ª¡ª
April is very busy, so updates are irregular. Forgive me!
