Chapter 68 Group Fights
Zhu Hongsan's temporary garrison was on the playground next to the prefecture government office. Next to it was the Jinshenghuan Army of Zuoying.
Ma Rufeng led Zhu Hongsan and Zhu Hongyi to the gate of the camp and said, "I am here, and my nephew won't go in."
Zhu Hongsan smiled and said, "Rufeng, why don't you come in when you've arrived at the door? It's time to eat, come in and go back after dinner."
Ma Rufeng was hesitating when he was afraid that he would get too close to Zhu Hongsan and his father would be scolded. Zhu Hongsan said, "Don't be afraid that your rigid father will come in with me. Whatever your father wants to say, I'll pull you in."
When Ma Rufeng heard Zhu Hongsan say this, and hesitated for a while, he walked into the camp gate with Zhu Hongsan.
When I went in, I saw that everyone had set up their tents and were now queuing up in the middle of the camp to have dinner.
Ma Rufeng is also a soldier, so he naturally knows what kind of virtues the official army is. It is because of the robbery that cannot be eaten. No one is pitiful to starve to death. The first time I saw a line-up for food.
Zhu Hongsan walked up to see the pot and said to Ma Rufeng: "The food is good today, with beef stewed with radish. There is also a beef bone cabbage soup. The staple food is rice and steamed buns." Zhu Hongsan's team had a large number of northern refugees, so the staple food was divided into two types.
Ma Rufeng was stunned. Beef? It was illegal to eat beef in the Ming Dynasty. He hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Uncle, it's not appropriate to eat beef."
Zhu Hongsan smiled and said, "It's nothing. I destroyed a small village a few days ago. This is dead beef, and it will be wasted if I don't eat it."
Ma Rufeng burst into cold sweat when he heard Zhu Hongsan say this. A village was destroyed and said it was light. He was about to speak and saw Zhu Hongsan and Zhu Hongyi pick up tableware and line up to get food.
Ma Rufeng asked, "Uncle, as the chief officer, you are the same as the soldiers?"
Zhu Hongsan smiled and said, "There are all brothers on the battlefield. I have to rely on their protection for my back. How can I not eat and live with them?" After that, he patted an ordinary soldier in front and asked, "Lao Wang, what do you think?"
In front of Zhu Hongsan was the scout captain Wang Xiaobao. He turned around and said to Ma Rufeng: "The chief is right. Eating in a spoon is the brother."
Zhu Hongsan pulled Ma Rufeng to finish the meal and sat down at an empty table next to him and had dinner together.
Ma Rufeng saw his meal, a plate of beef stewed with radish, five or six pieces of beef, each of which was the size of an egg. A bowl of cabbage soup, stewed with beef bones, tasted very delicious (Ma Rufeng didn't know that he added Zhu Hongsan to make MSG soy sauce). The staple food was two big steamed buns.
Zhu Hongsan looked at Ma Rufeng not eating and said, "Why is it not to fit your appetite? There is also rice, why would you change it?"
Ma Rufeng said, "No, uncle, I can eat steamed buns. Do your servants eat these every day?"
Zhu Hongsan said: "This is outside, and it's a simple matter. If there are no four people at home except for one meat and one vegetable, you have a chicken. The main esophageal tube is full. There are still three meals a day."
Ma Rufeng stammered and said, "Three meals? Do you know that uncle? Only the landlord's family can eat three meals. Only the soldiers in the city can eat two meals one day. There is no meat, only when fighting a war can you eat a little meat. You are too luxurious."
Zhu Hongsan said, "You said that was to take care of the emperor. I paid for it myself, and of course I had to eat well for my life. In fact, I couldn't spend a lot of money on this. I built my own pig farm and chicken farm, and the daily output was enough. Your uncle had money."
Ma Rufeng knew that this uncle and his family jointly reselled weapons and steel, but he didn't expect to be so rich. He didn't say anything when he heard Zhu Hongsan say this, after all, he was spending money to support his family.
Ma Rufeng didn't know how many servants Zhu Hongsan had. He thought that only eight or nine hundred people were. If he knew that Zhu Hongsan had 3,000 people under him now, he would be shocked. How much would it cost to eat like this every day?
Ma Rufeng looked at Zhu Hongsan and Zhu Hongyi chewed it out loud, and Zhu Hongyi chewed one piece of beef the size of an egg, and a bowl of rice. Ma Rufeng was sweating coldly.
Zhu Hongsan smiled and said, "Nephew, this is my cousin, now I am my eldest brother. Just call me elder brother too."
Ma Rufeng shouted at Brother Zhu, and Zhu Hongyi nodded. He got up and went to serve a plate of beef and then ate it. After a while, the three of them finished eating. Zhu Hongyi ate more than both of them combined. However, Ma Rufeng looked at Zhu Hongyi's height, which was seven or eight feet (one foot in the Ming Dynasty was equivalent to 0.283 meters, which was shorter than the modern ruler), and it was almost the same to eat so much.
Zhu Hongsan was about to talk to Ma Rufeng after eating, but there was a noise coming from the camp gate. After a while, Tong Yangjia came. Zhu Hongsan saw Tong Yangjia coming over with two panda eyes and knew that he had been beaten. He stood up and asked, "What's going on with sir?"
Tong Yangjia stepped forward and said, "Lord, there are the officers and soldiers of Zuoying outside. They smelled the aroma of our food and wanted to rush in to grab the food. I went to argue with them and was beaten."
Damn, the one who dared to hit me. Zhu Hongsan got angry when he heard this, stood up and said, "Brother, call a few of them for food. Let's go and see who is rushing to reincarnate."
Zhu Hongyi called Wang Xiaobao and a dozen others to finish their meals and followed Zhu Hongsan to the door. Ma Rufeng heard that he was from Zuoying and was following him for fear of something happening.
Zhu Hongsan arrived at the door and saw more than 200 people standing outside the door, leading a vulgar little official (Zhu Hongsan didn't know the costumes of the Ming army).
Zhu Hongsan stepped forward and asked, "Who the hell hit someone just now."
The little official smiled and said, "I'm a Rabbit husband who looks so pretty. Did you buy a butt?"
Zhu Hongsan smiled and said, "The soldiers of Zuoying are indeed the ones who are both good at it. Zuo Liangyu started out by buying a butt back then. I didn't expect that you little soldiers also knew about this."
Zuo Liangyu was originally a military soldier from Liaodong, and he had to behead him if he committed a crime. Hou Xun, who was the Minister of Revenue at the time, discovered that Zuo Liangyu was a talented person and saved him. Because Zuo Liangyu was slender and beautiful in appearance, it was reported that Zuo Liangyu relied on buying his butt to protect Hou Xun. The farther away this gossip became, the more evil it became. In the end, this statement was said in the north and south of the country. Zuo Liangyu was so angry that he had no choice.
Today, the little official was so angry that his face turned green when he heard Zhu Hongsan say this.
Wang Xiaobao on Zhu Hong's side smiled and said, "I didn't expect you were the rabbit husband who led a bunch of rabbits. No wonder Zhang Xianzhong was chasing him all over the world." The people around him burst into laughter.
The little official pointed at Zhu Hongsan and said, "You...you dare to insult my general. You don't want to live anymore." After that, he went up and slapped Zhu Hongsan.
Zhu Hongsan didn't pay attention, and his mouth was slapped hard. Zhu Hongsan had never been slapped by someone since he was born, and he was stunned. Zhu Hongyi, who was next to him, came forward and was so heartbroken that the little official vomited blood.
At this time, Zhu Hongsan reacted and gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it, if you dare to hit me, I will kill you. Beat these bastards for me."
When the soldiers behind him saw Zhu Hongsan being beaten, Wang Xiaobao jumped out first and punched and kicked the little official. When the opponent saw that he had taken action, he rushed up and beat him up.
Zhu Hongsan ran out under Zhu Hongyi's escort. Seeing that one of his side had too few people and was pressed and beaten by the other party, Wang Xiaobao lay on the ground with his head in his arms and was kicked by seven or eight people. Zhu Hongsan's eyes were red in anger, and he said to Zhu Hongyi: "Blow the trumpet, get together urgently, and use weapons to kill these bastards for me."
Zhu Hongyi took the order and then the assembly trumpet was blown in the military camp. The assembly trumpet was three long and two short, and it was the most urgent military order among Zhu Hong's three camps. Those who did not assembled five times were beheaded.
After a while, Zhao Guodong led a battalion full of people to the door. When Zhao Guodong saw that his brother was beaten by others, Zhu Hong's face was swollen. He immediately ordered the spear team to form an attack formation and rushed towards the opposite side.
The people from Zuoying were fighting so happily. More than 200 people were naturally satisfied with fighting a dozen. They didn't pay any attention to it and came to reinforcements from the front.
The leading official was kicked and vomited blood by Zhu Hongyi at first, but later he was beaten by Wang Xiaobao. At this time, he had just recovered and shouted from behind: "Beat me to death, and you will be supported by General Jin." As he was speaking, Zhu Hongsan's spear camp arrived and stabbed the people in the Zuo Camp, and stabbed more than 20 people immediately. When the others saw that there were many people on the other side, they all took weapons and shouted and ran away. The little official was left.
When the little official saw that his people had run away, he was left with him, and quickly shouted: "You can't kill me, I'm a relative of General Jin."
Zhu Hongsan touched his face and crawled up and cursed: "Damn it, kiss your grandma. Today you are Jin Shenghuan's biological father, not even enough."
Zhu Hongsan said to Zhu Hongyi: "Brother, chop it open for him."
Zhu Hongyi nodded, stepped forward and flicked his sword. He first chopped off his limbs, then dipped it open from his stomach with one knife. The little official's intestines and stomach flowed all over the ground, and his limbs were gone, and the blood was dying after a while.
At this time, Ma Rufeng got up from the ground. The man who was regarded as Zhu Hongsan was beaten up just now. When he got up, he saw the miserable situation of the little official, he shouted: "Uncle, you are in trouble. This guy is really Jin Shenghuan's brother-in-law. What should I do?"
Zhu Hongsan ignored him and saw that two brothers on his side had just been beaten to death. Wang Xiaobao, the first one, rushed up, was beaten and unconscious. Zhu Hongsan was really angry and ordered: "Zhao Guodong, take people to break through the Zuoying Yingpan. We have two brothers killed. We want them to pay for their lives."
Zhao Guodong took the order and said, "Yes, sir!" After that, he led a battalion of troops to rush to Zuoying next to him.
When he arrived at the door, he saw the camp gate closed, and the people who had just returned received the news. Zhao Guodong said, "Blade and shield soldiers, two hand grenades exploded and opened the camp gate."
Two hand grenades flew out from the side to explode the camp gate, and Zhao Guodong led his men into the Zuoying camp.
The troops in Zuoying were unable to catch up with Zhu Hongsan's, and they were caught off guard. They immediately cried and howled. After rushing in, Zhao Guodong ordered a melee formation, with a group of seven or eight people, with three spear soldiers inside and five sword and shield soldiers outside. They killed people when they saw them, and burned when they saw them. For a moment, Xinyang City was like bandits entering the city, and shouting and killing sounds were everywhere.
Zhu Hongsan and Zhu Hongyi stood at the door, watching their subordinates burning and killing. Zhu Hongsan felt relieved.
