109. Stationed
The small episode passed, and everyone continued to enter the mountain. Zhang Yingxian, who had completely lost her ability to walk, could only carry her away by someone. Her close maid was first carried for a while, and then handed it to Qiuye when she was tired, and then another maid was carried. Fortunately, she had eighteen maids, and she could barely keep up with the team if she took turns carrying it.
This is the first time Zhang Yingxian has entered a mountainous area. She has always been out of the gate. The lady who is not in the second gate suddenly comes into contact with the beautiful scenery in the mountains, which feels quite novel. The long queue is dragged into a line and winds forward on the mountain road. Looking up at the surroundings, there are strange-shaped rocks and plants that have never been seen.
Although the whole world is tortured by severe drought, the situation in Huanglong Mountain is still fine. The plants in the mountains are still green, not yellow and dead, and there are even nameless flowers blooming. Occasionally, a stream can be seen flowing happily. Many villagers kneel down by the stream and hold up the stream water in their hands to drink.
Qiuye also went to hold a handful of water and handed it to Zhang Yingxian's mouth. She took a sip carefully. A refreshing feeling spread throughout her body, feeling refreshed.
As the team continued to penetrate Huanglong Mountain, the altitude began to gradually increase. Of course, there would be no altitude sickness such as altitude above an altitude of more than 1,000 meters, and it would only make people feel the air was fresh and breathing smoothly.
Zhang Yingxian had just been bullied and cried. Now that she was blown by the mountain wind, her mood improved a little. She turned her head left and right and looked at the mountain world that she had never been exposed to before. Suddenly, she saw Zhu Yuanzhang and more than a hundred brothers behind the palace were cutting down flowers, plants and trees along the road, and sent several teams to go out in all directions, cutting flowers, plants and plants everywhere.
"Hey! What are you doing?" Zhang Yingxian was anxious. The beautiful scenery in the mountains made her feel relaxed and happy. Unexpectedly, Zhu Ba started to destroy again. It would be fine if she bullied her, but why did she even bully the flowers and trees in the mountains? She saw a large area of flowers and plants cut by Zhu Yuanzhang, and she couldn't help but feel heartbroken.
This is how the rich lady is. Because her life is too comfortable, she is in the mood to love flowers and plants. For example, Lin Daiyu in "Dream of Red Mansions" has a famous scene like "Burning Flowers".
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head, glanced at her, and said in a deep voice: "I am destroying the traces I have walked through, so that officers and soldiers will not find us easily when they enter the mountains to encircle us."
"But these flowers and plants..." Zhang Yingxian said anxiously.
Before she could finish her words, Zhu Yuanzhang said seriously: "Even people can't survive anymore, so how can they care about flowers and plants... Put away your meaningless thoughts."
Zhang Yingxian pouted.
The team winds forward in the mountains, desperately rushing during the day to destroy the traces of walking, and find a dry and flat ravine to rest at night. What Zhang Yingxian is most worried about is that Zhu Yuanzhang will catch her to warm the bed at night, but this horrible thing has never happened. At night, the villagers will pile up a circle-shaped area with grain bags, where she and her maids will sleep, and Ma Xiaotian will lead a team of soldiers to patrol the night to ensure that there are no wild beasts attacking the team.
I walked safely for several days, and the mountain was getting higher and higher. Suddenly, the vision in front of me opened, and a steep and towering mountain peak appeared. This mountain peak was not conspicuous in the endless Huanglong Mountains, and could not be noticed from a distance. But when I looked close, I felt that it was like it was rising up on the ground, very abrupt. You could see some caves on the mountain peak, and there were people shaking at the entrance.
Finally arrived at the place!
This is the place chosen by Zheng Yanfu, who has been renamed as Psycho Saburo. The mountain peaks are very steep and there are rugged rocks everywhere. There are only three roads to go up the mountain, two of which are the kind of paths that are only for one person to climb. The road on the front of the mountain is slightly wider, but only allows four or five people to walk side by side. It can be said that it is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
There are many caves on the mountain, big, small, deep, shallow. As long as it is slightly rebuilt, it can be turned into countless natural houses for people to live in. In addition, there is a wide flat land on the top of the mountain, which can be used for training troops.
The most rare thing is that there is a source of water on this small mountain peak, and a spring is constantly coming out of water, forming a stream flowing down from the top of the mountain and reaching the foot of the mountain.
Zhu Yuanzhang also took the time to visit him once and thought that this place was good. After a shameful failure, he spent another half a year traveling all over Shaanxi and Xi, and had come into contact with many things. His horizons became broader, and his vision of choosing a copycat address was naturally raised. Therefore, even Zhu Yuanzhang could not find any problems with the mountain he chose.
There were many villagers on the mountain waiting for the arrival of the large army. Wang Er and Sanlang were also there. When they saw Zhu Yuanzhang returning safely, the people in the team were carrying heavy grain bags. The villagers on the mountain cheered loudly.
Zhu Yuanzhang walked up the mountain with a smile. Wang Er and Tsanlang met with each other and said with a smile: "Brother Zhu, we have finally successfully taken the first step."
"Yes!" Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.
Wang Er's eyes were sharp-eyed, and when he saw a few soldiers with a lottery on them, he couldn't help asking, "What's wrong? A war?"
"Yes, a gentry organized a village brawl team and caught up and fought a battle." Zhu Yuanzhang said lightly: "We won."
After hearing this, Wang Er was so regretful that he beat his chest and stamped his feet: "Oh my God, why didn't I catch this battle?"
Ma Xiaotian, who was next to him, hurried over and said, "Brother Wang, do you want to listen to me tell you the detailed story of this battle?"
Wang Er's eyes lit up and he said happily: "Come on, let's find a quiet cave, tell me!"
Wang Er was a militant. When the officers and soldiers went to wipe out Zheng Yanfu, he insisted on watching the fun with him, which shows his temperament. Therefore, he was very interested in Zhu Yuanzhang's defeat of the village warriors, so he immediately took Ma Xiaotian and hurried away.
Psycho Saburo seemed much more calm. When Wang Er walked away, he whispered: "Brother Zhu, I have done everything you arranged. The previous batch of grain was stored in the largest cave on the top of the mountain. Some trustworthy brothers were arranged to guard the entrance of the cave and not let everyone take it casually. The grain you transported can also be stored in, and there is still a lot of space inside."
"Um!"
Pinxu Sanlang suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Brother Wang brought this group of villagers. A few guys wanted to rush into the cave where we stored grain to see how much food we stored. I beat him up and are still recovering from his injuries."
"Good fight!" Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "From now on, we must rectify the discipline. We cannot let them be a mess anymore. We must slowly turn them into an army that abides by military discipline. So... what can be done and what cannot be done, we must let them know from now on."
Tsailang pressed his voice even lower: "Brother Zhu, I am Zheng Yanfu, please keep it confidential for me... You know, I am a person who was defeated by the government. If my name is exposed, these villagers will not trust me and not obey my orders."
"Yes!" Zhu Yuanzhang also said seriously: "If you don't tell me about this, I want to tell you too, don't reveal your true name, otherwise it will affect the morale of the army. You can make arrangements first and arrange these brothers to live in a suitable cave."
Trying to death, Sanlang replied: "There is a spacious and comfortable cave on the top of the mountain. It is a great place. There is no other idle person to live in. It is prepared for you... You happened to have captured the second young lady of the Ma family... This cave is suitable for a bridal chamber, haha!"
Zhu Yuanzhang: "..."
The following day, the entire mountain was very lively. Under the arrangement of a desperate situation, the villagers lived in various caves. Some caves on the mountain were extremely wide, and hundreds of people could live in it. The villagers who followed Zhu Yuanzhang into the mountain were not only men, but also women, as well as children and elderly people. These people divided the territory in the caves based on families, and each family could be divided into a very spacious place.
Some small caves are suitable for people with slightly special identities in the team. For example, Zhu Yuanzhang was assigned to a ** cave near the top of the mountain, and Wang Er and Pinming Sanlang each had a ** cave. Zhu Yuanzhang's most confidant more than 200 soldiers were separated from ordinary villagers and lived in a special cave.
The most special and troublesome thing here is Zhang Yingxian and her eighteen maids. How to place this ticket is really a pity Zhu Yuanzhang. He can't explain to others why Zhang Yingxian was stolen, so he can only let others treat her as his wife who suppressed the village...
Since he is the wife of the village, he can't sleep separately from him, right? That will arouse others' suspicion, and it will be troublesome if he asks. Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't want to spend time explaining this kind of thing.
When assigned to Zhang Yingxian, Zhu Yuanzhang walked over and ordered: "You and I live in the same cave."
"What?" Zhang Yingxian's face changed terrible. After being stolen, she was worried about this, but she didn't expect that she had to face it just after she arrived at the place.
"What? Are there any objections?" Zhu Yuanzhang said with a calm face.
"There is... no..." Zhang Yingxian wanted to refuse but didn't dare.
"That's it!" Zhu Yuanzhang pointed to his cave and said, "I asked your maid to carry you in and find a dry place to make a bed with grass leaves. There is only such conditions in the mountains. Don't think about the comfortable life before..." He paused and said, "Support my bed."
"Woo..." Zhang Yingxian felt so angry. This man was really too domineering. He wanted to force a woman to take over, but he even wanted this woman to assist him in bed without bullying others like this! But after all, she was not a fool. After all, she thought about Zhu Yuanzhang's words slightly, and suddenly she picked up a problem from that passage.
What he said just now was to assist him with a bed first, then give him a bed... From the meaning of this sentence, he wanted to sleep in separate beds with me? Zhang Yingxian couldn't help but ask nervously: "Buy two beds?"
"No, of course, it's two! How can one sleep with two people in one bed?" Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know that the little woman in front of him had already turned aside for two or three times and had thought about a lot of messy things. He didn't treat Zhang Yingxian as his woman at all, so he didn't say anything like a family. If he was really a couple, why can't two people in one bed sleep with two people?
When Zhang Yingxian heard Zhu Yuanzhang's grammatical illness, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. A smile flashed across his face. She nodded violently and said, "Okay, I'll call the maid to make the bed, I'll make it right away, go to make it now!"
Zhu Yuanzhang shrugged strangely, not understanding what she was happy about. Emperor Hongwu knew people well, and the only thing he didn't understand was what the woman was thinking!
Chapter completed!
