Chapter 116 Border Conflict
Zhao Ming left Fujing and headed northeast.
Fujian is Zheng Zhilong's territory. The Zheng family is full of power and even goes deep into the countryside. He dare not take the main road, and he dare not spend the money given by Zheng Sen. He can only take the small road and embark on the long road back to Zhejiang.
From Fujing to eastern Zhejiang, it is a thousand miles away, and there is also a mountain road, so I hide and hide. I am afraid I won’t be able to leave Fujian for a month.
This made Zhao Ming very anxious. At this moment, he met a Kunqu opera troupe on the road. When he inquired, he learned that the opera troupe was going back to Zhejiang, and immediately he was shameless and asked to join.
The headmaster of the Kun Opera troupe is Kou Baimen. He is a woman in her thirties. She is tall and wearing short-dressing training uniforms. There is a chivalrous spirit between her eyebrows. "I think you have the strength, so I will take you with you. But when I come to my team, no matter what you did before, I have to be diligent and work more. I don't keep idle people here."
Zhao Ming quickly promised, "Don't worry, the headmaster, I'm very diligent."
Kou Baimen nodded expressionlessly, "Okay, you can move these things to the car first!"
After saying that, Kou Baimen turned around and left. Zhao Ming looked at her back and sighed in his heart, "It's a beauty, it's just too cold."
Kunqu Opera originated in the Jiangnan region. Because of the war, the opera troupe thought of going to Fujian to make a living.
They thought they could make some food in Fujian, but they didn't expect that the language difference between Jiangsu and Zhejiang was too big. The people in Fujian could not understand the Wu language in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the opera troupe could not understand Minnan dialect, so they had to return to Zhejiang again.
Zhao Ming followed the opera troupe and traveled through mountains and rivers, helping to push carts and cook along the way, and then did the Huotou Army's activities.
There are more than 20 people in the opera troupe, and Zhao Ming can't sing opera, but he is very strong and diligent in his work. He usually carries a prop, cooks for everyone, and does a few jobs by himself, and soon becomes familiar with everyone.
There is no idle person in the opera troupe. In addition to performing opera, people in the team have to take turns to do laundry and cooking.
Zhao Ming had worked as a Huotou Army in Zhang Mingzhen's army, but he didn't expect that the skill of chopping firewood and cooking came in handy, so he couldn't make small stir-fry, but the big pot rice was still good, which was better than the people in the opera troupe's turn, and soon became a full-time chef.
The opera troupe sang all the way, and Zhao Ming gradually became familiar with everyone. When he was fine, he would watch them sing operas. They were all romantic and love-loving things like "Du Danting" and "The Purple Chaimare Record". Zhao Ming didn't like to listen to them.
Now that the war is in chaos and the country is in danger, this kind of play is the sound of a country that is destroyed. If you want to sing, you can sing some operas of fighting on the battlefield and defending the country.
However, Zhao Ming didn't know how to make operas, and he didn't want to show off. He still rushed to work every day, and then chatted with others, and learned a lot about what happened in the opera troupe.
There are a few older sisters in the opera troupe who always like to say things like who is with whom and who has done what before.
After hearing some, Zhao Ming found out that the headmaster Kou Baimen was a famous brothel.
Zhao Ming is tall and handsome, so his elder sisters always come to chat with him.
On that day, while washing vegetables, Zhao Ming was listening to the elder sisters and talking about what anyone in the team liked the headmaster. Suddenly, a dry cough came from behind. The elder sister quickly shut up.
Kou Baimen stood behind him and glanced at Zhao Ming, "Big man, come here!"
Zhao Ming quickly washed his hands, followed Kou Baimen, entered the woods, and said excitedly: "What did the headmaster ask me for?"
Kou Baimen looked at Zhao Ming and said, "I will come out of seclusion soon. I know you are not an ordinary person. I hope I haven't saved the wrong person. You can keep this little money and leave after leaving Fujian!"
Zhao Ming took the purse and it was filled with copper coins. He was a little moved, "Don't worry, you are absolutely wrong. The head teacher helped me out of seclusion and gave me money. I will repay this love."
Kou Baimen said: "You don't have to be polite, but then again, you are not a detailed work from the north, right?"
Zhao Ming raised his strong chest muscles and smiled and said, "Does the headmaster think I am a dignified man, like a Jiannu's work?"
Kou Baimen seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, "No, if so, you should go to Xianxia Pass. I think you look like someone from East Zhejiang."
...
Soon, the team left the Fenshui Pass and entered Zhejiang territory. As soon as the team left the customs and entered Wenzhou Prefecture, they immediately received a business.
Zhao Ming helped to move boxes of props and costumes down. The elder sisters in the distance surrounded Kou Baimen and advised: "Master, the big man is very diligent and he is a good guy. Why not keep him in the team."
Kou Baimen was a little moved, but he still said coldly: "The team does not raise extra people."
Although Zhao Ming is diligent in his work, those who work in the opera troupe can do it themselves.
At this time, after Zhao Ming moved the things, Kou Baimen came over and said coldly: "You can leave!"
Zhao Ming picked up his stuff from the car, and everyone in the opera troupe surrounded him, stood behind Kou Baimen, and said goodbye to him.
Zhao Ming then clasped his fists and said, "Everyone, the green mountains will not change, the green water will flow forever, and we will have a date in the future."
"Big man, there will be a time later!" Everyone also clasped their fists together.
Zhao Ming bowed his hand, then turned around and waved his hand, saying goodbye and leaving.
Zhao Ming said goodbye to the opera troupe and continued his journey, preparing to go to Wenzhou Prefecture City to see if the lucky boat was driven away, and to ask for a horse by the way so that he could quickly go to Shaoxing.
Zhao Ming traveled for a day and came to Pingyang County in Wenzhou Prefecture, but found that the city was covered with Zheng army's flags, and his expression changed drastically.
It seems that in order to destroy the Tang and Lu alliance, Zheng Zhilong isolated Emperor Longwu in order to continue to control the court, and really mobilized troops to attack eastern Zhejiang.
In an instant, Zhao Ming stood in a state of disgust, and Duoduo stationed troops in northern Zhejiang. If the King of Lu misunderstood and started a war with Fujian, Duoduo would definitely take advantage of the situation to go south, and the enemy was attacked on both sides of Zhejiang, and the situation in eastern Zhejiang would inevitably collapse.
This made Zhao Ming angry. Doesn’t Zheng Zhilong understand the truth that his lips and teeth are cold?
At that moment, Zhao Ming did not dare to walk the main road, so he hurriedly walked around Pingyang County and rushed in the mountains and forests. When he approached Feiyun Pass, a group of soldiers suddenly jumped out of the woods, with sharp bows and arrows and black-hole convex muzzles aimed at him.
Zhao Ming was stunned. Unexpectedly, he escaped from Fujian after all his hardships. When he was about to succeed, he failed and was caught by the enemy.
Just as Zhao Ming beat his chest and stamped his feet, the soldiers suddenly burst into laughter, and the leader laughed and said, "Big Man Zhao, you are not dead!"
When Zhao Ming Dingqing saw that it was Ruan Jin, the general under Zhang Mingzhen. Zhao Ming was immediately overjoyed, "Brother Ruan, why are you here?"
Ruan Jin and many soldiers collected the weapons and said angrily: "Mom, Zheng Lian, suddenly attacked us. Not only me, but also the general!"
Zhao Ming said in surprise: "Where is Marshal Zhang coming to Wenzhou?"
Ruan Jin nodded, "Yes, the general will come, this time he will beat that boy Zheng Lian out of his shit."
