Chapter Fourteen Short Chapters
Chapter 14 Short Chapter
Zhu Chongjiu took out a white cotton handkerchief from his pocket and gently wiped the face of the sesame plum. He was very thin. The two months of sickbed had exhausted the energy of the owner of this body. From the appearance, it was hard to believe that he was the red scarf hero who led eight brothers to capture Xuzhou at night.
However, Zhu Chongjiu still rubbed extremely seriously.
"What are you punished? If you deserve to die, you should stand up by yourself if you have the courage to do so. I will ask him first, do you still remember why he rebelled?" Sesame Li waved his hand and responded very domineeringly, "I have only been straightened up for a few days, and I forgot that I am also a poor person. I will stand up for this kind of thing when I am crazy." (Note 1)
This is the attitude of Sesame Li when he learned that he had killed many scums of red scarves on the night of the fall of Xuzhou.
"Then, how much does that cost?" Sesame Li sighed very much, then gritted his teeth, "Bring it, if you are willing to show it to me, I will send someone to get it. If you don't take yours in vain, I will use it. Use five good horses and a treasure knife to exchange it for you, and ask someone to take it to you in the afternoon."
This is the exchange condition proposed by Sesame Li when he found out that he was skilled in training.
"It was created by Zhu Chongjiu, Shenzhou Guangyu Map." Sesame Li smiled, with a little pride on his face, just like a parent showing off his children outside. "You also know that this kid can't do anything else, and he is best at tinkering with these strange tricks and tricks."
This is how Sesame Li supports him in front of outsiders.
"How could I object to such a good thing? Sign, I, Lao Li, sign the first one. You all follow me. If others are dissatisfied with the convoy made by the eighty-one brothers, let him come to find me first." Sesame Li picked up the pen and signed his own name after the Gaoyou Covenant without any hesitation.
This is the choice of Sesame Li after he oversteps his authority and acts.
Many people say that Sesame Li is confused, and some people once thought that Zhu Chongjiu was deliberately raising Sesame Li to deal with a tiger from the enemy inside and outside.
Including himself, sometimes he doesn't understand why Sesame Li acts so tolerant.
And now, he finally realized the expectations contained in all kinds of tolerance.
It was only then that I finally understood how much help Sesame Li had given to the Huaiyang Group in the past two years after the meeting, and that I finally understood what kind of unyielding soul was once jumping in this tragic body on the sickbed.
"Suppress troops and people, equalize the fields and free grain, killing one person is like killing my father, and lustful one person is like lustful my mother." Before this person, no one resisted set his goal so clearly, and no one resisted did not forget whose child he was.
After this person, countless rebels will be destined to continue, pulling down the Chinese and foreign slave owners from the high shrines, so that they can pay their blood debts.
The door of the ward was pushed open from outside. Zhao Junyong rushed in, Peng Da rushed in, Pan Laizi rushed in, and accompanied Sesame Li Fei to seize the eight brothers in Xuzhou that day. Except for Mao Gui who was far away in Haozhou and the three Zhang heroes who had already died in battle, they all arrived. Behind them were their respective guards, and Tang Zihao, the Great Light Envoy who represented the Ming Cult, who contacted the heroes.
However, none of them had the courage to step forward and seize the handkerchief from Zhu Chongjiu's hand. At least, no one had the courage to put their dissatisfaction and reluctance at this critical moment.
Before his death, Sesame Li tried his best to do the last thing for Zhu Chongjiu. At this moment, his body was not cold, and anyone who took the lead in causing trouble would inevitably end up ruining the situation.
War is the best touchstone. After two years of hard work, those who can still lead the army will definitely not be too bad. No one will be willing to use their own corpses and flesh to pave a road to the sky for others. What's more, the clinic is also the territory of the Huai'an army. Without getting any great title, no one's chance of winning will be more than 10%.
After a few short breaths, Zhao Jun took the lead and knelt down, crying bitterly at the remains of Sesame Li.
The "Grand Chief Executive" Peng Da, Pan Laizi, the Great Light Envoy Tang Zihao, the Sesame Li's personal soldiers Ding Dexing, and a large number of Xuzhou and Suzhou generals also fell to the ground and cried out loudly.
During his lifetime, Sesame Li was generous to his subordinates. Whenever he got a place, except for the remaining part in the army, the rest of the gains were all allocated to the generals according to their military merits. They were not occupied or biased, and they were fair and generous in their work. Sesame Li was not beautiful and did not buy private property. They always led the way in wartime, and when they were unfavorable, they would always cut off their backs personally. There was a trend of famous generals in ancient times. Now he suddenly left the world, which made everyone feel heartless.
Immediately, the entire ward was filled with crying, and there was no other emotion except grief.
Immediately, the entire Huai'an Medical Center was shrouded in a sad atmosphere and could no longer tolerate any selfishness.
Listening to the wailing sounds around, Zhu Chongjiu quickly wiped all the limbs of sesame lilu outside the clothes. Then, he laid the other party's remains flat, covered them with a clean thin quilt, and carefully tucked the corners of the upper and lower quilts.
After confirming that Sesame Li was as peaceful as if he was asleep, he slowly took two steps back, raised his right hand to the corner of his forehead, and solemnly delivered a military salute that he was most familiar with.
No one present had ever seen such a strange etiquette, but from Zhu Chongjiu's straight back and solemn face, he could feel the reverence contained in it.
The crying instantly became lower. Zhao Junyong, Peng Da, Pan Laizi, Tang Zihao and others followed Zhu Chongjiu one by one, kowtowed, bowed a long time, and bid farewell to Sesame Li.
Their master went there, and this is a fact that no one can change it.
There is also another fact that cannot be reversed. The new name of the Red Turban East Road has been born. Before Tuotuo was defeated, anyone must obey the orders of this boss, without any compromise.
After the salute, everyone endured the grief in their hearts and turned their eyes to Zhu Chongjiu.
They were waiting for his first general order.
Just like they were waiting for Sesame Li to raise their arms and shout at each other the same year before yesterday.
Feeling the expectation in everyone's eyes, Zhu Chongjiu turned around, faced everyone, and raised his palm to his forehead again. This was the military salute he was most familiar with. He always felt that this salute was somewhat alienated from the times and was not vigorously promoted in the army.
But from today on, he is unwilling to worry about those invisible constraints anymore.
"Buy a golden nanmu coffin and bury it for the Grand General. Please ask the Grand General to recite scriptures to the Grand General for seven days in accordance with the ceremony of the Ming Cult. After seven days, Zhu will use the blood of the General of the Tartars army to sacrifice to the Grand General for the heroic spirit." His eyes swept over everyone, and Zhu Chongjiu announced word by word.
"Wuwu" everyone heard it and let out a sad voice again.
Zhu Chongjiu slowly lowered his arm, walked through the grieving crowd, and walked towards the door of the ward.
At this moment, his heart was also painful, but now it is not the time to indulge in sadness. There are countless people waiting for him outside.
His challenge has just begun.
Note 1: In the official history, eight people seized Xuzhou, and then defeated the Yuan army that came to suppress him many times in Xuzhou. In the autumn of the following year, they were defeated by Tuotuo, led a million troops. Tuotuo refused to surrender and died heroically. Tuotuo then carried out a bloody massacre of the military and civilians in Xuzhou (including the surrounding areas). According to the statistics of the Mongol Yuan, more than 700,000 people were slaughtered.
Note 2: The drunkards always respect those who resisted in history. Although from the perspective of modern people, their actions are not professional enough and they are even very ignorant in some places, they are resisting after all. Compared with many "civilized people" who collude with foreign enemies and enslave their compatriots, they are at least ten thousand times civilized.
