Chapter 81 The Firstborn

When the child was not born in the middle of the night, Zhu Hongsan's face became increasingly ugly. This was a midwife who came to Zhu Hongsan and said, "Master, my wife is having difficulty giving birth. Should I protect the adults or the child?"

Zhu Hongsan's face was distorted in anger. He pulled out a horizontal knife from Zhu Hongyi's waist from behind, put it on the midwife's neck and said, "I want your grandmother's adults and children. If it doesn't work, I will go to the county town to kill your whole family."

The midwife was so scared that she couldn't wet her pants and quickly ran back to the house.

Zhu Hongsan sat on the ground, feeling extremely disappointed, and said to Zhu Hongyi: "Brother, have I done too much inequality before? God won't let me have a son?"

Zhu Hongyi patted Zhu Hong's shoulder and said, "There is this matter. There are not a thousand people we killed, but there are five hundred. Why didn't we see a ghost seeking revenge? It's okay, Xiaofang and the others will be safe for mother and son."

At this moment, a loud cry of a baby came from the room, and the child was born. After a while, the midwife came out and said happily: "Congratulations to the third master, it is a young master, and the mother and son are safe."

Zhu Hongsan was very happy and shouted, "Brother, I have a son." After that, he laughed.

Looking at the midwife and doctor who were scared to death, Zhu Hongsan said, "Okay, thank you for your hard work, each of you has 200 taels of silver. I will reward you."

The midwife and the doctor expressed their gratitude.

Zhu Hongsan had no time to pay attention to them, so he broke into the house a few steps to visit Ma Xiaofang and his son.

When I entered the house, I saw Ma Xiaofang lying on the bed with a snow-white face, with a small cloth bag on the side.

When Ma Xiaofang saw Zhu Hongsan coming in, she smiled and said, "Master, finally gave birth to a son for theMaster."

Zhu Hongsan picked up his son and smiled, "Thank you for your hard work, madam, I'll look at my son."

Inside the bag was Zhang Xiaoxiao's face, with his eyes closed, his pink nose and wrinkles on his face. At this time, Zhu Luo came into the room and said, "My brother is so ugly, like a little monkey."

Zhu Hongsan smiled and said, "Daughter, you were the same when you were just born." After that, he said to Ma Xiaofang, "I don't care about my customs and habits. Now I want to name my son, Zhu Hai, and I will be rich in all directions in the future. This is my legitimate son Zhu Hai, haha..."

The next day, the news that Ma Xiaofang gave birth to a legitimate son was spread to Majiazhuang. Except for Ma Guoxiang who was old but did not come, all other males came. The birth of this child means that the Ma family was completely tied to Zhu Hongsan. Later, Zhu Hongsanrong became rich and noble, and Zhu Hongsan was humiliated and the Ma family was doomed.

Of course, there are also people who are unhappy. Tong Yangjia is the only one. The birth of Ma Xiaofang's son means that Ma Mingyuan and Ma Jiyuan's position is becoming more and more stable. After Tong Yangjia returned home, he said to his wife: "Go and see your two daughters and let them give birth to sons. Our future wealth will be on both of them."

Then on March 15, the 15th year of Chongzhen, Ma Ruyan also gave birth to a son, and Zhu Hongsan named Zhu Jiang. The Ma family came to celebrate again without mentioning it.

Next, in May of the 15th year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng besieged Kaifeng in February but failed to capture it. The court ordered the commander Ding Qirui, Baoding Governor Yang Wenyue, General Zuo Liangyu, Hu Dawei, Yang Dezheng, Fang Guoan and others to lead 200,000 troops to rescue Kaifeng.

Li Zicheng discovered that the Ming army intended to lead 400,000 troops to fight with the Ming army in Zhuxian Town, which lasted more than half a month. The early stage of the official army was good, but later, Zuo Liangyu might find that the official army was in trouble, so he actually led his troops to attack friendly forces, plunder friendly mules and horses, and then led the army south to Xiangyang.

Li Zicheng took advantage of Zuo Liangyu's escape and led his troops to attack, defeated the Ming army, captured more than 70,000 Ming army and beheaded countless people. Since then, the Central Plains official army has no mobile corps to fight the bandits, and can only siege the lonely city and beheaded by Li Zicheng.

At the end of June, Zuo Liangyu ran to Xiangyang, and after he gained his foothold in Xiangyang, he began to rob the place, and soon formed an army of 400,000. However, these 400,000 were all local farmers, so the combat effectiveness can be imagined.

Zhu Hongsan learned from Ma Mingyuan that Zuo Liangyu came to Xiangyang. Ma Mingyuan also found that the situation was urgent and came over to ask what to do that day? Zhu Hongsan has been spending the birth of his two sons in the past few months, and in September, there are two pregnant women who are going to give birth, so the preparations have slowed down a little.

Zhu Hongsan said to Ma Mingyuan: "The second brother is in an urgent situation. You can take the person who can leave first, and I will take the back team and follow up."

The first batch of Ma's family left first, plus all the craftsmen and family members, plus Ma Xiaofang and Ma Ruyan. Now Ma Ruyan has been out of confinement and has recovered well, so she can go on the road. The difficulty is the Dong sisters. They are now eight months old. If they want to leave, they are afraid that they will have a child halfway, so they can only stay at home.

All the equipment was thrown away except for the simple carrying of the bulky ones. But in this way, two hundred large cars were loaded. Zhu Hongsan, the guards, asked the Second Battalion, Third Battalion, Fourth Battalion, and Ma Mingyuan to leave first. After all, they were too many. Now all six battalions have equipped the artillery company, and each battalion faces three thousand cavalry front-facing.

Ma Mingyuan went back and started preparing. On July 20th, he was finally ready. Seeing the first batch of more than 5,000 people, Zhu Hongsan said to Ma Mingyuan: "Mr. and his party have a heavy responsibility, and it depends on the master. One person can decide on life and death." After that, he said to the four battalion commanders: "You have heard that what Mr. Ma said is what I said. Don't blame Zhu Hongsan for not being in love if he doesn't listen." The four of them expressed that they would listen to Mr. Ma's words.

Ma Mingyuan bowed and said, "Please rest assured, lord, Mingyuan will definitely take them to Hengzhou Prefecture. Let's meet in Hengzhou Prefecture." After that, Ma Mingyuan turned over and started walking.

Zhu Hongsan looked at Ma Xiaofang and Ma Ruyan and said, "Take good care of my son, I will be able to arrive in Hengzhou Prefecture at the end of the year at the latest."

Ma Xiaofang, Ma Ruyan and Zhu Hongsan parted with tears.

The rich and brave first battalion and Zhang Sanqiang's sixth battalion were left behind, including Tong Yangjia, Qian Fatty, and Zhu Hongyi.

Fatty Qian was going to leave first, so Zhu Hongsan was left behind. This guy was in charge of the intelligence agency and ran away. How could he understand the situation of the bandits?

The situation was not as bad as it was thought. After Zuo Liangyu occupied Xiangyang, he did not go south. The only disaster was around Xiangyang, which was still far from Wuchang. In the past few months, Zhu Hongsan also used the equipment he left behind to create several artillery pieces, so that each battalion's cannon reached eighteen, increasing a little firepower.

Good news came in September. On September 16th, Dong Zhen gave birth to a boy, Zhu Hongsan named Zhu Huai, and on September 28th, Dong Huan gave birth to a girl, Zhu Hongsan named Zhu Yu. Zhu Hongsan liked girls, held Zhu Yu every day, and Xiaoyuer shouted. Dong Huan, who was a little unhappy, was comforted a little.

News in October came. After Zhang Xianzhong broke up with Li Zicheng in July, he went to Anhui and pulled up more than 400,000 more people. This time he went to Xinyang, Henan and rushed to Zuo Liangyu in Xiangyang. Just as all the officials of the Ming Dynasty were waiting for Zuo Liangyu's 400,000 troops to give Zhang Xianzhong a head-on attack, Zuo Liangyu went south to Wuchang in December and ran away. The war finally burned to Wuchang, the hometown where Zhu Hongsan lived for more than 20 years.

After learning that Zuo Liangyu went south, Zhu Hongsan began to speed up the evacuation. At this time, some rascals and scoundrels in Wuchang County came to find Qian and Fatty Zi wanted to go with Zhu Hongsan.

Fatty Qian came to Zhu Hongsan and said, "Brother, you see, these brothers in the city have been following me for several years. They have done a lot of things on their own. I feel embarrassed to leave them behind."

Zhu Hongsan cursed: "When will you still care about others?" But after all, Fatty Qian is also Zhu Hongsan's old brother for many years. He has to give him face, but he has no choice but to add more than 40 people.

Dianshi Li Fugui didn't know where he came to Zhu Hongsan and asked him to leave together. Zhu Hongsan said, "You old Li is over forty years old and seem to have not lived enough. I heard that you had a little girl as a concubine last year? It's quite a life."

Li Fugui said, "San Master, take me away. Zuo Liangyu, I heard that he was doing bad things in Xiangyang. In order to get money, he put the local rich people on the fire and roast them until they are dried. Lao Li is not afraid of death, and my sons cannot die."

Seeing that Li Fugui had done so many unethical things for him, he brought his family of 18. In this way, Zhu Hongsan's second group also reached more than 2,000 people and nearly 100 large cars.

Zuo Liangyu arrived in Wuchang in December, and the first step was to get money. The horse team went out everywhere and harmed the village. Wuchang County, less than 20 miles away from Wuchang Prefecture, naturally did not run away. Several small groups of Zuoying official troops have been found in the farm, but they were all killed by Zhu Hongsan.

On December 30, the morning of New Year's Eve, Zhu Hongsan and his party were finally ready to finish, and the team set off immediately. Zhu Hongsan stood on a hill beside the farm, watching the winding team slowly moving down, and then looked at the Wuchang County town in the distance, where he lived for twenty years. He said to Zhu Hongsan beside him: "Brother, we are leaving. Don't you take care of aunt and the others?"

Zhu Hongyi said: "They and I have been merciless since my father's death. I am now surnamed Zhu or Zhao. How can they leave their fate?"

Zhu Hongsan knew that no one would survive when Zhang Xianzhong came next May.

At this time, it was snowing from the sky, and the snow was getting heavier and heavier. The county town in the distance could no longer see clearly, so he could only see a contour clearly. Zhu Hongsan thought of himself as he was participating in the battle for hegemony in the world. Looking at the snow scene, he suddenly thought of the Chairman's poem, and couldn't help but recite it out loud: The scenery of the north is frozen thousands of miles away, and the snow falls thousands of miles away.

Looking inside and outside the Great Wall, there are only the vastness; the river is rising and falling, and the river suddenly loses surging.

The silver snake dances in the mountains, and the wax figures are galloping, trying to compete with the heavens.

On sunny days, I look at the red dress and it is very charming.

The country is so beautiful that countless heroes are competing for the competition.

The Qin Emperor and Han Emperor were slightly inferior to the literary talent; the Tang Emperor and Song ancestors were slightly inferior to the charm.

Genghis Khan, a genius of a generation, only knew how to bending a bow and shooting eagles.

All of them have gone, and there are several romantic figures, and I still look at the present day!

Tong Yangjia next to him was shocked when he heard this. The poem was made of magnificent and full of imperial spirit. He couldn't help but praise: "My lord is really full of imperial spirit in Qinyuanchun. I hope that the lord can successfully revive the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Hongsan laughed and said, "Okay, Mr. Tong lends you auspicious words. The Ming Dynasty will start today."
