Brother Dao and Zhu Chongba came back with people intact, which greatly boosted the spirit of the people in Zhuangzi. They took forty people and brought back forty-eight people. There were only a few of the forty people they originally took away. He was slightly injured, not even seriously injured, even Lin Yuan was a little surprised.
"It scared me to death!" Brother Dao revealed his true form as soon as he came back, drinking the rice wine that Lin Yuan finally saved, and talking about how they found the coal: "There are too many people guarding the iron mine, we only have four Ten people is like hitting a stone with an egg."
After a pause, he asked Lin Yuan, "Is it right to hit a stone with an egg?"
Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Yes, Brother Dao is right."
Brother Dao was proud: "We didn't dare to go there, but I remembered the seat. By the way, Chongha also drew that picture."
Zhu Chongba only cared about eating meat, then raised his head and said, "Map."
"Map?" Lin Yuan and Yang Zian spoke almost at the same time.
A map is a map, and it is very important in any era. A map needs to draw the surrounding landscape and the ups and downs of important geographical locations. Not everyone can draw a map.
Zhu Chongba licked the oil from the corner of his mouth and said to Lin Yuan, "The painting is crude."
Lin Yuan: "Show me."
Zhu Chongba took the map drawn on the canvas to Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan watched for a while—
"What is this point?"
Zhu Chongba explained, "That's a mountain."
Lin Yuan: "What about this larger ink dot?"
Zhu Chongba explained again: "A bigger mountain."
Lin Yuan: "Is this a river? I see it."
Zhu Chongba: "...There are more snakes in that area."
It seems that only Zhu Chongba can understand this map. Lin Yuan said, "I'll draw it again. Chongba, please explain it to me when the time comes."
Without Zhu Chongba to explain, I really couldn't understand it.
Lin Yuan suddenly said, "Chongba, I have an idea."
The room was quiet. Everyone knew that what Lin Yuan was going to say must be something important. Lin Yuan's expression was very serious, and he rarely looked like this in front of people.
Zhu Chongba also put down his chopsticks. He stood up and stood in front of Lin Yuan: "Even if the boss tells you."
"I'm going to draw 100 people out." Lin Yuan said, "Training troops."
Everyone was silent, Jiang Gui said softly: "Private soldiers... this... if the imperial court... "
Lin Yuan said, "We are few people here, and the imperial court can't tell the energy to stare at us now, not to mention that now that we have rattan armor and weapons, it's time to train our troops."
Zhu Chongba was the first to react. He clasped his fists and said, "Don't you dare not obey what the owner asks."
Lin Yuan put a hand on Zhu Chongba: "It's called the Tiger and Leopard Team, and you are the captain."
Yang Zian suddenly coughed lightly.
Lin Yuan understood what he meant, but still said to Zhu Chongba, "Chongba, how about changing your name?"
Zhu Chongba looked at Lin Yuan strangely.
Lin Yuan said, "I have a gift for you."
"How about Zhu Yuanzhang?"
For some reason, Zhu Chongba was suddenly silent, but after a cup of tea, he looked at Lin Yuan again, but his eyes were completely different. Those were eyes full of sharp killing intent, but the killing intent was not directed at Lin Yuan.
"I understand what the boss means. One day, we will kill all the thieves!"
Except for Yang Zian, the other few people heard the second monk puzzled.
Brother Dao asked Yang Zian in a low voice, "Second brother, is there any significance to this name?"
Yang Zian said softly: "Zhu Yuanzhang, take the homonym of "Zhu Yuanzhizhang"."
Just why did the fourth brother have such high hopes for Zhu Yuanzhang
Yang Zian was puzzled and stood outside Lin Yuan's door at night, not knowing whether to knock on Lin Yuan's door.
"Second brother Yang is doing what he's doing here." Erliang happened to come over with the water for washing his feet. He pushed open the door and shouted at Lin Yuan, "Master, second brother Yang is looking for you for something."
So Yang Zian, who was hesitating, could only walk into Lin Yuan's room. There was charcoal burning in the room, and the window was half open. After the winter came, so much charcoal burned in Xiaqiu finally had a use. Lin Yuan carefully instructed people to burn The window must be open when charcoal, otherwise it will kill people.
The people in Zhuangzi didn't know why, but they always listened to Lin Yuan's words and told them to do whatever they wanted without thinking about it.
Lin Yuan sometimes feels that they live a very easy life, they don't think about anything, they can do whatever their boss calls them, as long as they don't have to worry about what to eat tomorrow.
You need to think about yourself.
Hey.
"Fourth brother." Yang Zian waited for the two to leave before asking his doubts, "I know the importance of military training, but why did you ask Zhu Chongba to be the captain? After all, this person has just arrived, and I can't see him. Deep and shallow, why don't we call Brother Dao the leader and he the deputy?"
Lin Yuan sighed again, why didn't he have Yang Zian's concerns
But the problem is that Zhu Yuanzhang, before he became an emperor, was an excellent and unparalleled military strategist.
Only Chen Youliang can compare with Zhu Yuanzhang.
It's just that Zhu Yuanzhang's luck is better than that of Chen Youliang.
Compared with being an emperor, he has a stronger advantage in the field of warfare. Many people say that the truth is in the hands of a few people, but there are not many such cases, but Zhu Yuanzhang is the meaning of being able to interpret this sentence.
In the many important battles he has experienced, Zhu Yuanzhang's decision-making went against almost everyone, but it turned out that his choice was right.
What Lin Yuan was worried about was that if Brother Dao was positive, then at a critical moment, he rejected Zhu Yuanzhang's suggestion because of the opinions of the majority of people, and the consequences would be disastrous.
Now we can only take one step at a time.
He didn't know if Zhu Yuanzhang would become Guo Zixing's subordinate like in history, but now, he has no better choice.
If Zhu Yuanzhang really wanted to leave, he didn't know what he would do.
Lin Yuan said to Yang Zian, "One step is one step."
Although Yang Zian didn't know what Lin Yuan was thinking, he could see Lin Yuan's firmness in Lin Yuan's eyes.
"Fourth brother." Yang Zian sat aside and sighed helplessly, "Why are you so impatient?"
Lin Yuan was stunned.
What should he say? It is now the ninth year of Zhizheng, and there are still two years left before Liu Futong's uprising. At this time, Fang Guozhen had already fallen to the Yuan Dynasty and was waiting for the opportunity to repeat itself. Xu Shouhui also revolted two years later.
Time waits for no one, and the days of chaos are just around the corner.
If there is no armed force, how can we stand in the troubled times
"Second brother probably doesn't know about Fang Guozhen." Lin Yuan said, "Last year, a man named Cai Luantou rebelled against Yuan. Someone accused Fang Guozhen of colluding with this person. Fang Guozhen killed this person and fled into the sea. Thousands of people revolted and seized the seaborne grain."
Yang Zian naturally didn't know about this, he looked at Lin Yuan intently: "Then what?"
Lin Yuan said again: "He has captured the provincial political department Duo'er class, please come down."
"Nowadays, has the second brother heard folk songs?" Lin Yuan suddenly turned his head.
Yang Zian: "What?"
Lin Yuan: "The sky is high, the emperor is far away, the people are few and the princes are many, and they are beaten three times a day, how about not treating them back?"
Yang Zian recited the ballad repeatedly, and finally sighed leisurely: "The Yuan Dynasty, the momentum is exhausted, and the general trend is gone."
"There will only be more and more people raising the anti-flag." Lin Yuan looked at Yang Zian seriously, "We will certainly raise the flag too."
Yang Zian: "Fourth brother, if you have something to tell me, if you blink your eyes for your brother, you won't be called Yang Zian."
Now that it has been decided to cultivate an armed force, it is necessary to pay for it.
Lin Yuan didn't expect anything from an army of 100 people.
Recruiting talents must be done, but not now, what we need to do now is to improve our own military strength.
The number of people is the key determining factor.
Today, there are 140 middle-aged men in Zhuangzi, but Zhuangzi still has to grow food, which also requires manpower.
Lin Yuan felt more and more that there were few people.
He said to Yang Zian, "Second brother, I have to ask someone to go out."
He has to find someone.
Yang Zian: "Where to go?"
Lin Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, looking out the window into the distance.
"Xinghua, Taizhou."
He wanted to find Zhang Shicheng and find the "eighteen poles" recorded in the historical records.
At this time, Zhang Shicheng should still be in the salt field.
Lin Yuan wanted to accumulate strength and attack Xinghua when necessary.
And Zhang Shicheng and the others are the leaders.
At this time, Zhang Shicheng should still be under pressure, surviving in the gap, and there is a high possibility of taking them away.
"Who to call?" Yang Zian suddenly said, "You can't go."
Lin Yuan also knew that he could not go now.
If he goes, Zhuangzi will be in chaos.
After all, the people in Zhuangzi don't know why, they seem to only listen to him.
"I'll go." Yang Zian stood up, "Although I don't know why you value Zhu Chongba so much, so that you know that I, Yang Zian, are not a person who eats rice."
Lin Yuan was also struggling with candidates, but now Yang Zian took the initiative to stand up. After thinking for a while, he really felt that Yang Zian was the most suitable candidate.
If nothing else, Yang Zian has culture!
And he's not a nerd, more importantly, Yang Zian knows how to work around.
Lin Yuan: "Second brother, this matter is entrusted to you."
"When the time comes, remember to go to Baijuchang and find someone named Zhang Shicheng. It would be best if you can bring him back."
Yang Zian: "What's so special about this person?"
Lin Yuan didn't know how to explain it, so he could only say: "There was a relationship many years ago, and I think he's not doing well now."
Now Yang Zian understood.
He thought it was Lin Yuan's kindness attack again, but Yang Zian was used to it.
In short, this answer fooled Yang Zian.
Since they said they wanted to train troops, they naturally had to make arrangements. More than 140 strong men, selected 100 people. Although there is no iron smelting yet, they included the machete that Yang Zian brought back when he surrendered the bandits, as well as Brother Dao and Zhu Yuanzhang. The stolen weapons are enough to equip these people.
Soldier training is not an easy thing. Lin Yuan doesn't know much. In modern times, he knew that being a soldier requires physical training, discipline and obedience.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang is a general, the current Zhu Yuanzhang has only just started. The most he manages should be the cattle of the landlord's master. It is the first time to manage people. Although he is ambitious, he has been in charge for a few days, but he still doesn't care. Come out.
After all, these people are either walkers or peasants, they have never been soldiers, and they don't even know what discipline is.
So Lin Yuan had to go into battle by himself. Anyway, according to the script, it would be best if he succeeded, but if he couldn't succeed, he would think of a way.
The first thing to practice is obedience, and obedience is the first thing to do.
Lin Yuan stood on the set up platform and said to the person below: "When I shout to rush, you rush to the place I pointed, understand?!"
The man below shouted: "Got it!"
OK... No matter whether they understand it or not, as long as they understand the gestures.
Lin Yuan basically told them to rush everywhere that day.
At the end, the group of people lost their strength and slumped on the ground, but were forcibly shouted by Brother Dao and Yang Zian and continued to run.
It was the same the next day, and it was the same for a week in a row.
In the second week, when Lin Yuan raised his hand, everyone would stare at his hand, and when he pointed somewhere, they had already rushed over before he issued an order.
Obedience is actually difficult to cultivate. What Lin Yuan is doing now is to let them form a conditioned reflex.
The body executes instructions one step ahead of the brain.
And then let them take up arms, but their targets are immobile tree stumps.
Wherever Lin Yuan pointed, they would cut it until the stump was cut down.
With such a day-to-day mechanical training, the obedience of these people has increased a lot.
Zhu Yuanzhang and Lin Yuan sat together, and the two chatted under the night sky, but they were very leisurely and elegant. Zhu Yuanzhang asked, "Master, how did you come up with the idea?"
Why didn't he think of it
Lin Yuan thought for a while and said, "It looks like it's in the book."
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened: "The book still says this?"
Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Sun Tzu's Art of War."
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed: "I often hear people mention it, but it is rare to see it."
In this era, books are a luxury, monopolized by the upper echelons, and the people below do not even know a word, let alone study.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang was literate, he learned his words in the Huangjue Temple, and the books in the temple were naturally impossible to have military books.
The importance of the military book does not need to be repeated. As long as the people in power with normal brains in all dynasties and dynasties, they will not let this kind of book spread among the people.
Lin Yuan said: "Everyone has a seat for everyone. The imperial court takes care of this. It's normal."
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't understand: "Why?"
Lin Yuan: "During the past dynasties, there are many people who emphasize literature over martial arts, why?"
Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it for a while: "If there is no war and chaos in martial arts, it is difficult to make achievements and build a career."
Lin Yuan smiled and said: "During the Taiping period, there were only a few people with strong military power, but most emperors started out on the battlefield, and they were afraid that they would be overthrown by newcomers just as they overthrew the previous dynasty."
"However, just like the Song Dynasty, when there is money and food, it's just pigs and sheep to be slaughtered."
"If you have more readers, you will be stable."
Zhu Yuanzhang was puzzled: "Many scholars are not engaged in production, relying on ancestral production to make a living, and they may not be able to become officials if they are supported by the family. What is this for?"
Lin Yuan remembered that he had seen this question before, and there was an explanation from the great god below, so he drew a scoop on the gourd: "Scholars, the four bodies are not diligent, and the five grains are not divided, so that they can't even hold a hoe, and what can they use to rebel? They don’t have to produce, as long as they study and study, they farm the land, and they do business, the world will be at peace.”
"If you are the emperor, can you tolerate people from below?" Lin Yuan asked again, "If you are the emperor, are you not afraid that someday these people will gather to overthrow you?"
"The people above, treat the people as cattle and sheep."
"Officials are sheep's dogs."
"The emperor is the owner of the sheepdog."
Lin Yuanchong smiled at Zhu Yuanzhang: "Actually, this statement is correct."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan also said: "The kindness of the superior is sometimes cruel. The country is a huge sheepfold. Everyone does their own thing and is naturally peaceful."
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly asked, "Master, do you also regard Zhuangzi as a sheepfold?"
Lin Yuan was stunned for a moment, he looked at the night sky with a loss, shook his head and sighed: "If there is such a day, I will not be me."
The emperor is a tiger, and one mountain never tolerates two tigers, so many emperors cut down their old subordinates after they were in power.
"Go back to sleep." Lin Yuan stood up.
Zhu Yuanzhang also stood up: "Master, I have one last question."
Lin Yuan: "Ask."
Zhu Yuanzhang: "Why call me the captain of the Tigers and Leopards? Isn't Brother Dao more suitable?"
Lin Yuan said: "Brother Dao has another position. As for why you are called captain, you will understand later. I only hope that the day you understand is not the day you leave."
Zhu Yuanzhang was even more puzzled: "Leave?"
Lin Yuan smiled and said, "It's too early to say that."
After saying this, Lin Yuan patted Zhu Yuanzhang's shoulder and walked towards the house.
Only Zhu Yuanzhang was left standing alone under the night sky.
In the staff dormitory, Li Da, who had been tired all day, rubbed his feet and complained, "God knows how tired it is to be a soldier."
The roommate next to him was just as tired as him, lying on the bed and didn't want to move: "Anyway, I have enough to eat, and I don't need to do other work. I heard before that soldiers don't have much food."
"We won't fight people?" Li Da asked suddenly.
The people in the dorm were silent.
After a while, someone said, "The soldiers are called to fight because they want to fight."
Li Da was taken aback: "I still want to farm, I don't want to go to war."
Someone laughed at him: "Do you think we want to?"
"But the owner said that if we only know how to farm the land, when the bandits come, we will be pigs to be slaughtered, and the only use is to kill and eat meat." That person was very convinced of Lin Yuan, "The owner Yes."
Li Da sighed, the reason is this, but who wants to fight.
However, on the second day, Li Da still had to put on his rattan armor and take a knife to form an array. In the past few days, he did not practice commands, but practiced "standing", standing motionless in the cold wind. If you move, everyone will have to stand for half an hour.
Not to mention being punished, if someone really moved, others would have to hate him first.
At this point, practice is disciplined.
When the standing posture is almost done, it is time to start exercising physical fitness, such as long-distance running, push-ups, frog jumping, etc. In short, Lin Yuan can think of everything, and let them do it all.
When it was time to rest, everyone was as tired as a dead dog.
It's not that no one is dissatisfied, but when someone is dissatisfied, the people next to him will educate him.
"You are eating and drinking now. What's wrong with you being tired? In the past years, the autumn harvest came over hungry. Now I think you are having a good time. I don't know how much you weigh."
"That's right, just relying on the owner's good intentions, I think, the owner should throw you out of Zhuangzi. I think you can live in the wilderness for a few days."
"It's better to throw it out, so as not to tire us."
The educated person can only bow his head angrily, expressing that he knows he is wrong, and the people next to him are satisfied.
Some people really thought that Lin Yuan had a good heart, and when it came to training, he didn't get up from the bed, and he stayed still.
After reporting to Lin Yuan, Lin Yuan said expressionlessly, "Since you don't want to stay, then drive out."
It was Li Da who reported it, and he read in Lin Yuan's indifferent eyes that Lin Yuan would not change his mind.
"I don't believe it!" The person who was relying on kept struggling. "The boss can't drive me away! Take me to see the boss! I want to ask clearly!"
Li Da sighed: "You don't have to ask the boss, the boss won't see you."
The people around looked at this scene, and someone whispered: "The owner is so kind, he won't really rush, that is to scare him."
"That's right, say you know you're wrong, and the owner will definitely forgive you."
The man shouted: "I was wrong! I knew it was wrong! The owner! The owner!"
Li Da took someone and took that person out of Zhuangzi. There was no one around Zhuangzi. It was very difficult to survive, but it was not hopeless, but even if he survived, he would not have a good life, especially in winter.
The man didn't believe that he was really thrown out until he was put out of Zhuangzi.
"I want to see my boss! Li Da! Li Da hurt me!" The man was still roaring, hoarse, "I just woke up a little late!"
Li Da threw him aside and said to him, "You don't have to think about going back to Zhuangzi again. The boss said that if you come back, beat him up and throw it out."
The man looked blank: "I don't believe it, the owner would not be so cruel, I don't believe it."
There were a lot of onlookers, and they didn't believe it. At this stage, they still thought it was just to scare people.
"It's better to believe." Lin Yuan's voice suddenly came from not far away. He was wearing a cotton-padded jacket and walked over slowly. He looked at the people in front of him with an unprecedented indifference.
"I've always had a good temper." Lin Yuan said.
No one spoke.
Lin Yuan: "Anyone who thinks training is hard and doesn't want to train, stand up now."
"I'll give you a chance to stand up!"
No one dared to move.
Lin Yuan sneered and said, "I've had enough good days, I don't want to. Just go, I won't stop you."
"Those who want to replace me now stand up and chop off my head. This village is yours."
"You don't want to train, go outside, and you will become famous in the future, and I will never make irresponsible remarks."
"This is the first time, just drive out." Lin Yuan looked around the group of people, "Next time, just break your legs and drive out."
Lin Yuan: "If you want to leave now, I'll give you a bag of soy grains and leave it for you to choose."
Li Da swallowed, and he also heard the sound of someone next to him swallowing.
This season, what if there is soy food
Lin Yuan: "I have food, I also have meat. You don't have to worry about food, clothing, housing, and transportation. If you can't be satisfied even so, don't blame me for being ruthless."
The commander's majesty can never be violated.
Once the majesty is broken, no one will fear him anymore, and love is not enough.
People are always easy to offend a good-natured person.
But never to offend a harsh one.
He can give some benefits as appropriate and radiate kindness.
But it must not make people feel that he is weak and easy to bully.
Once people found that there was no punishment for resisting his orders, they slapped their noses in the face.
Lin Yuan stood there, feeling that he had never been so unfamiliar before.
But he also knew that this was the only way to go.
Can't get around, can't escape.
