A large group of people were slowly moving southward dozens of miles southwest of Luoyang. Luo Zhixue was sitting in a two-wheeled carriage in the middle of the crowd, and Lin Yuer was sitting next to him.

Looking at the crowd around, Luo Zhixue frowned slightly.

Since he woke up two days ago, he found that he had encountered something strange. Somehow, after a drunken relationship, he returned to ancient times and possessed a young man whose family was dead.

In the past two days, he had already found out from the words of the people around him. This was the seventh year of Chongzhen, and his place was in Luoyang, Henan Province. He was even a refugee who was forced to flee due to years of drought in his hometown.

After learning about the environment he was in, Luo Zhixue kept thinking about how to go in the future.

Even though he is not a professional history, he knows that this will be a year of troubled times, and the land of Shaanxi and Henan is a place of beacon.

How miserable this place is at this time, you can tell by looking at the situation of the original body.

Except for him, the rest of the family was completely dead!

He also discovered something that he didn't know whether it was good or bad. The original body actually joined the thief army a few minutes before he leaned over...

Moreover, the first steamed bun I ate after joining the thief army was choked to death, and in a daze, I bent over...

This unlucky baby!

Perhaps the original body was rejected by joining the thief army, but Luo Zhixue was not rejected by this. On the contrary, when he figured out the situation, he took the initiative to find the cavalry leader Li Tonglin: "Zhixue remembers the general's life-saving grace. Although Zhixue has no power to tie a chicken, the general has given instructions, Zhixue will do his best."

This directly shows the intention of seeking back.

reason?

There is no other reason, just to survive!

If he was allowed to continue to take Lin Yuer, who was also a desperate family, as a refugee, he would really not have the confidence to survive, and he might starve to death in less than a few days!

The chaotic times in the late Ming Dynasty were no joke.

Li Tonglin was obviously very satisfied with Luo Zhixue's attitude. He smiled when he looked at Luo Zhixue: "From the future, I will work hard with us. Don't worry, I won't let you fight to the death. Now there are rough men in the army who are ignorant of big words. He can't even understand the documents that the government encircled us. You can just help me manage the documents in the future."

"I, Mr. Li, dare not speak loudly, but in the future, I will be brothers and sisters. If I eat it in one bite, I will not lose your bite."

Li Tonglin spoke loudly, not only for Luo Zhixue, but also for other cavalrymen around him.

Sure enough, after hearing this, many of the cavalry around them smiled on their faces.

Looking at this scene, Luo Zhixue said intimately: It seems that Li Tonglin doesn't seem so careless and brainless. He speaks obviously very well. He is also able to become the leader of a rebel army in troubled times, how could he be a fool?

After officially announcing his joining the Rebel Army, Luo Zhixue also learned the general origin of Li Tonglin's group from the people around him.

What surprised Luo Zhixue was that this group of people did not belong to a large-scale rebel army, but to a self-established rebel army.

But unexpectedly, Li Tonglin and his group were actually rebels who set up their own troops.

It is actually not accurate to say that it is the rebels, it is more accurate to say that it is the rebels, because just a few months ago they were officers and soldiers.

Li Tonglin and others were originally Yulin border troops, but they were transferred to Shaanxi and Henan to encircle and suppress the bandit army, but the superiors asked them to kill the bandits but did not pay them any wages. Not to mention the money, they did not even give them military rations.

In order to fill his stomach, one of the group of hungry Yulin border troops couldn't help but snatch a gentry's granary as military rations and mess with hornet's nest.

There is a high-ranking official in the gentry's family...

So, Li Tonglin and his friends changed from officers and soldiers to bandits who surrounded and suppressed bandits!

Li Tonglin, a hundred households of the former Ming army, simply took the lead in contacting hundreds of old brothers to rebel.

Because if you don’t rob, you will die, and if you don’t resist, you will die.

And resistance still has a way to survive.

In the past few months, they have been wandering around eastern Shaanxi and western Henan, escaping grain and recruiting soldiers while escaping the encirclement of officers and soldiers.

To this day, Li Tonglin has more than a thousand soldiers under his command.

But in Luo Zhixue's view, among the more than 100 cavalry leaders led by Li Tonglin himself, it was considered a soldier. As for the remaining more than 100 people, all of them were refugees.

These people all have pale faces and thin skin, and they don’t have any serious weapons and equipment. Only a few people have spears and swords. As for armor, don’t count. The more than 100 cavalry under Li Tonglin didn’t have much armor.

More than a thousand people like this are impossible to use for war.

Luo Zhixue saw this, but he didn't say much. He honestly led Lin Yuer and Li Tonglin and his group to advance in the past two days.

Because he and Lin Yuer were not full for a long time and were weak in strength, Li Tonglin also allowed them to walk in a carriage that was carrying baggage.

When they arrived in the southwest of Yiyang, Li Tonglin decided to rest for a few days in an abandoned village here.

They had been in action for more than half a month before, and they ran to Luoyang City for a while. The team needed to rest and recover their physical strength.

Although Luo Zhixue, who had been full for several days in a row, was still weak, he finally recovered and had basic ability to move.

It was also on this day that Li Tonglin found him and first asked Luo Zhixue how he recovered. After receiving Luo Zhixue's affirmative answer, he immediately said:

"Mr. Luo, you also saw that the chaos here is now, and the accounting books are all messy. I don't even know how many days we can eat our food. In the future, you will help Lao Sun manage the supplies and food, and make the accounting books first, so that Li can know what to do in his heart if he pays wages and grains in the future."

Although Li Tonglin respectfully called Luo Zhixue a gentleman, Luo Zhixue knew that this was just an ordinary polite remark and he would not be arrogant.

A person like Li Tonglin who directly leads troops to mutiny and rebel cannot be as careless as it appears, and he is heart-to-hearted as soon as he comes up.

Immediately stepped forward and said, "The general is so serious. He is responsible for the king's worries. The matter of making the baggage, salary and salary is not refusal."

Then he turned sideways to a short, thin middle-aged man next to Li Tonglin with a pockmarked face: "General Sun, I'll bother you in the future."

That mazi was Sun Jian, who was in charge of baggage affairs in Li Tonglin's rebel army.

Luo Zhixue was polite, and Sun Cheng also smiled: "Mr. Luo is so polite. I should bother you more in the future. Although I am in charge of food and grass, I am not afraid of you making jokes. I don't know a big word and can't even make an account book."

Li Tonglin obviously had other things, so he left first after saying this, but Sun Cheng stayed and introduced several people to Luo Zhixue who also managed the baggage affairs.

Several of them welcomed Luo Zhixue's arrival, but a middle-aged man dressed in a robe named Fang Ada was lukewarm to Luo Zhixue. After the introduction, he turned around and glared at Luo Zhixue before leaving.

Luo Zhixue frowned slightly when he saw this scene.

He could clearly feel the obvious hostility that Fang Ada showed towards him.

But why?

I am a newcomer and have not contacted anyone else in the past two days. I shouldn’t have offended him, right?

——

The next day, Sun Cheng began to take Luo Zhixue to investigate and record the food and supplies in the army. Fang Ada was also involved in the matter.

Only then did Luo Zhixue realize that Fang Ada was the one who had registered the military supplies.

This person claimed to have been an accountant in a large business bank before, but Luo Zhixue was sure after reading the account book he wrote before. This person must have been a serious accountant in the past, and he didn't even recognize a few words.

There are a lot of typos in the account book, and many of them do not express the meaning, and many of them are simply writing ghost talismans.

The most important thing is that there are a lot of inexplicable circles and cross symbols in the account book. Not to mention that Luo Zhixue can't understand it, even if he asked Fang Ada what these symbols mean, he would be confused and unable to say it.

So when the subsequent inspection of materials and re-creation records were carried out, the numbers found in the original account book were completely incompatible with the numbers recorded, and there were many mistakes.

This made Sun Jian extremely angry, and he scolded Fang A in the morning.

In the afternoon, when they checked the horse materials, they found that they didn't meet the situation. They asked Fang Ada again and asked him again. Sun Jian, who was furious, threw him a big mouth as if he had achieved success.

After beating Sun Cheng, he still scolded him very unhappily: "Baozi, let me manage the account so much. If you remember the others wrongly, you even remember the food and supplies. You are not even sure how much horse materials you have. What are you doing?"

After Fang Ada was slapped, he was so scared that he knelt down on the spot and begged for mercy: "God of anger, I know my mistake."

Looking at Fang Ada begging for mercy while kneeling, Sun Zhen was in a very unhappy mood.

He was in charge of the military's baggage affairs, but he couldn't read it, so Fang Ada was responsible for the daily registration and construction of various materials.

After all, Fang Ada claimed that he was an accountant before, and he could indeed write a few words.

But Sun Cheng couldn't understand the account book, so Fang Ada usually said whatever he said, but he didn't expect that the account book would be so messy that even the amount of food and grass would be so chaotic.

Luo Zhixue, who was standing beside him, silently watched this scene without saying anything, and it was not his turn to speak.

Luo Zhixue followed Sun Cheng to inspect all kinds of materials on this day, acting as a human-type account book, and never said anything about the records of the original account book.

On the one hand, it is not about himself; on the other hand, there are many dirty things in the accounts, but he has no intention of putting himself at the forefront.

Otherwise, I would have no place to deal with it when I was stabbed one night.

Luo Zhixue felt that he had just traveled through time for a few days and was in a thief army in troubled times. He could not be too high-profile, but had to keep a low profile first to see the situation.

———

After Sun Jian took the people angrily to continue checking the supplies, Fang Ada also got up from the ground. While touching his left face, which was beaten slightly red and swollen, he looked at the people in front of him. Finally, he turned his eyes to Luo Zhixue's back, and his eyes were already showing a ruthless look.

That night, in a dilapidated house in an abandoned village.

Fang Ada and others discussed secretly under the dim oil lamp.

Fang Ada said: "The person surnamed Luo is a disaster. If he hadn't suddenly ran out, he wouldn't have checked the baggage again. If he didn't check again, he wouldn't have found that the account book would not be matched."

"It's all good now, but the accounts are a bit confusing, and the mistakes found are just small matters. But if Sun Jian led Luo Zhixue to continue to investigate like this, I'm afraid that all of us will be unable to protect our lives."
