    In the late winter of the tenth year of Chongzhen, the spring of the next year is about to arrive. Although winter has completely passed and spring has arrived, a hint of spring has begun to arrive in Sichuan, the land of abundance. Guangyuan, the northernmost city in Sichuan, naturally  The ground also has a breath of spring.

    The winter of the tenth year of Chongzhen was relatively calm, because when winter came, the officers, soldiers and bandit soldiers all slowed down their actions. Therefore, those who fled were unable to move effectively, and those who pursued and suppressed could not catch up. However, with the arrival of spring,  , everything will be different." "Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!"  The smell of the coming rain is also mixed with the breath of spring.

    On this day, a group of new guests came to Guangyuan. They turned out to be the old officials of Baishui led by Xia Erduo. This group of old officials, led by Li Qingshui and Xia Erduo, led the people of Baishui to promote potatoes and won the  With such a huge success, they can be considered to have a certain ability to promote new crops.

    Zhu Yuanzhang was quite happy when he saw them arriving.  He quickly called Xia Erduo and asked with a smile: "How is the matter of corn seeds going?"

    Xia Erduo smiled and said: "With the help of the two priests from Tongguo, Yijing obtained a large amount of corn seeds from Guangdong and Fujian, as well as dozens of old farmers who know how to grow corn."

    Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed: "Call me quickly to see you."

    Xia Erduo called a large number of people to introduce him to Zhu Yuanzhang. The people who came were a group of old farmers from Guangdong, all of whom were rough-handed. When they saw Zhu Yuanzhang, the "general", they did not dare to speak, but they led the group.  This group of farmers is quite interesting. This man is a strong man in his thirties with thick black hair.  The skin color is not too dark, but it is not fair either. He looks a bit like a half-hearted creature who is neither civilized nor martial.  He saluted Zhu Yuanzhang and then announced his family name: "The younger one's name is Ashui"

    When Zhu Yuanzhang heard his self-reported name, he knew that it was probably a pseudonym. How could there be anyone whose real name was Ah Shui?  It seems that someone with such a name is not a kind person.

    Sure enough, Ah Shui sighed: "The younger one used to make a living on the sea. He was a small boat owner under the command of Brother Liu Xiang Later, Brother Liu Xiang colluded with the Dutch to cause harm to the coast. The younger one felt that Brother Liu Xiang had done this.  That¡¯s not right, how could these decent Chinese people collude with foreigners to kill our brothers? So the younger one left the fleet and relied on the fortune he had accumulated by running into the sea. He bought some fields and wanted to clear his name  "

    He said this.  Several leaders around Zhu Yuanzhang were thinking: Whitewash?  I'm afraid it won't be as white as n¨¤merongyi, right?

    ??????????????????? Ah Shui immediately sighed: "It's really difficult to clear my name. It doesn't take just a few acres of land. The government has made many difficulties for me. I live carefully every day. I thought I could barely survive by shrinking my eggs, but I didn't expect Liu Xiang  After the destruction of my eldest brother, a few old brothers were desperate and came to seek refuge with me. This attracted the attention of General Feihong. He followed the path of those brothers and came to the door, intending to kill us all.  It was clean, so my brother had no choice but to apply oil on the soles of his feet and run inland.¡±

    The leaders didn't know about the grudges between the pirates along the coast, but after hearing this, they felt that the Jiangnan coast was probably not a peaceful place. The man named Ah Shui was chased by a man named General Feihong and had no place to stay.  I have no choice but to run here, which is quite pitiful.  This "General Feihong" sounds like he is not a serious person at first glance, and he is probably the same as our leader, General Zhenxi.

    The leaders guessed right. General Feihong was the bandit name given by Zheng Zhilong when he was a pirate. Later, after he surrendered to the court, he was named the "Five Tiger Guerrilla General", and he was known as the Five Tiger General in officialdom.  , as for the name General Feihong, it is usually circulated among the pirates and will not be mentioned officially.

    At this point, Ah Shui basically explained the whole story. He bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "A person like this can't be a good citizen anymore, so he can only rely on his ability to grow some corn."  I am begging for food from the general. These dozens of brothers who came with me and me have all been pirates, and now they have turned to corn farming to make a living"

    After everyone heard this, they immediately looked at the farmers in a different light. Wang Er couldn't help but shouted at them and asked: "Youwere pirates before?"

    The group of old farmers saw Ah Shui and talked about it, but they no longer deliberately pretended to be low-key. They took off their hats and threw them to the ground. Then they opened their well-dressed clothes with a snap, revealing their bronze chests. In an instant,  Suddenly, a fierce breath rushed out.

    Wang Er was stunned, and then sighed: "Good men, you are pirates, and we used to be bandits. I don't know who is more powerful, the bandits or the pirates?"

    The group of pirates glanced at Wang Er and were startled by his tower-like figure. Some of them said seriously: "How dare we, small characters like us, dare to do this in front of big brother?"??Show off your abilities and be a hero like you. Among pirates, only Zheng Ermang is qualified to compete with you.  "

    Wang Erqi asked: "Who is Zheng Ermang?"

    The pirates said: "Zheng Ermang is Zheng Zhilong's second brother, his name is Zheng Zhihu. There is a saying on the sea that 'the dragon is wise and the tiger is brave', which means that Zheng Zhilong is wise and Zheng Zhihu is brave."

    When Xu Renjie heard this, he immediately laughed and said: "We Zhu Jun are eight wise and two brave!"

    Listening to his nonsense, everyone stared at him in confusion, but heard him explain: "Brother Zhu is wise, and Brother Wang is brave, so they are eight wise and two brave."

    "Tsk! It sounds so awful." Everyone laughed.

    Wang Er glanced at Xu Renjie and smiled at the pirates: "Then I will definitely learn the methods of Zheng Ermang if I have the opportunity in the future."

    The pirates shook their heads: "Zheng Ermang is dead. During the decisive battle with our brother Liu Xiang, he was caught by Liu Xiang in a fishing net and thrown into the sea and drowned."

    When Wang Er heard this, he was stunned and stopped talking.

    After chatting and getting down to business, Ah Shui asked about the characteristics of the land here in Guangyuan. When he heard that Zhu Yuanzhang's soil was very thin, there was only a thin layer of soil underneath which was covered with rocks. He couldn't help but look deeply at Zhu Yuanzhang.  Diyi bowed and said: "Brother Zhu Ba is really amazing. Although corn n¨¦nggou grows on a thin layer of soil, it is not a secret among us, but you have always been in the northwest, and you actually know about it. That's really  ¡­ Really knowledgeable.¡±

    Most of the leaders of the Zhu army knew Zhu Yuanzhang's abilities. It was already common for Zhu Yuanzhang to often say some knowledge that ordinary people could not know, but for these people who met him for the first time, it was a bit rare.

    Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and ordered: "Xia Erduo, you are responsible for taking these pirate brothers to promote corn. I greeted the magistrate of Guangyuan and asked him to fully cooperate with you to promote corn. You asked Baishui to come over.  The old officials directly replaced his group of people."

    Xia Erduo saluted, and Tur¨¢n remembered that when Ziji first arrived in Baishui, Zhu Yuanzhang asked him to cooperate with Li Qingshui to promote potatoes. It is still the same thing now, except that the county magistrate has been changed from Li Qingshui to  Another person also changed from Baishui to Guangyuan, but the things he did remained the same.  I couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic and emotional, and took the group of people out to work.

    This group of people had done something once before, and it was easy to do it again this time. First, they issued a policy that all farmers who grow potatoes will be tax-free this year, and then they used a knife to force the wealthy families to plant first and start a new business.  Take the lead.  A two-pronged approach will naturally lead to smooth sailing.

    This is something for later, so I won¡¯t state it here.

    But after Xia Erduo took away the group of pirates, a figure flashed at the door, and a girl in red walked in. She saw a scimitar slung across her waist and a bow on her back. Everyone was stunned.  , thought Xue Hongqi was here, but Dingqing saw it was Li Jieqiong. This child was dressing more and more like Xue Hongqi.

    Xu Renjie was surprised: "Huh? Little girl, why did you come here? Aren't you with Xue Hongqi?"

    Li Jieqiong chuckled and saluted Zhu Yuanzhang first: "I am responsible for escorting the corn seeds here" After saying this, she turned to Xu Renjie and hummed: "Sister Xue said, Sichuan is dif¨¡ng  Her cavalry can't come and can't follow you. She really doesn't trust you Sichuan girl's water spirit is famous all over the world, but don't let you, a pervert, seduce a shime woman here and go back.  I'm here to look at you."

    When Xu Renjie heard this, he suddenly started sweating profusely: "How can I seduce women randomly? Stop talking about it. Apart from fighting, I don't care about anything."

    Li Jieqiong sneered again and again: "It's strange, you don't care about anything except fighting. Why was Sister Xue deceived by you?"

    Xu Renjie was speechless.

    Li Jieqiong hummed and said, "Brother Zhu Ba, please allow me to stay here and monitor him."

    Zhu Yuanzhang is really angry and funny. Is this a mess?  Just as he was about to order Li Jieqiong to go back to Shaanxi, at this moment, another spy came through the door and knelt down to report: "General, we got news from the inn Zhang Xianzhong's troops were chased all the way from Hunan into Sichuan by officers and soldiers.  , Keba County, and then moved northwest, now near Ba County less than two hundred miles away from Guangyuan."

    Zhu Yuanzhang frowned: "In other words, the officers and soldiers chasing Zhang Xianzhong are less than 400 miles away from us."

    The spy nodded quickly.

    Zhu Yuanzhang coughed and said, "Which groups of officers and soldiers are they?"

    ??The spy said: "The Sichuan Army is led by General Fang Guoan and Staff General Luo Yuxin. Deputy General Zhang Zuokai, Commander-in-Chief Zhao Guangyuan, He Renlong, Deputy Generals Luo Wanxiang, Han Guangrong,Gui Gui, Tan Yi, the general Li Guoqi, and two rebel armies who surrendered to the court, namely the Sweeping King and the Hengxinglang.  "

    Hearing him report such a long list, all the leaders gasped. How many groups of officers and soldiers were there?  Why don't you come out in such a big way?  Yang Sichang mobilized 120,000 troops to pursue the 36th Battalion, and it turned out to be true.  (To be continued.)
