Chapter 47 Chongba You Have Me and Biaoer
Hua Yun specially came to Yingtian Primary School to encourage primary school students to go out and help the people solve their problems.
He took the note written in plain language by Chen Biao and read: "You are the buds, the rising sun, the future! Let the people know how bright the future of our Zhu family army is!"
The primary school students clapped their hands vigorously out of respect for Hua Yun, and Hua Yun's face flushed, making her look even darker.
When primary school students go out to do good deeds, their elders at home will definitely be worried.
Are all the young and strong women in the family gone to the front? It doesn't matter, grandparents are still here.
As a result, a group of energetic elderly people joined the Yingtian Primary School mediation team.
This group of elderly people and children wore "mediation" armbands and wandered around the streets and alleys, asking shop owners if they had any difficulties or if they were being bullied by anyone.
When they met some playboys, the children would rush up to them, and the old people would point at their noses and scold them.
Everyone knows the family backgrounds of the primary school students in Yingtian Primary School, and no playboy dares to act arrogantly in front of the Yingtian Primary School Mediation Team.
Occasionally, when they encountered one or two ignorant people, the elders would immediately ask the guards to hold them down, tie them up, and send them to the "labor reform center" specially established by Hua Yun. They would not be allowed to leave unless they earned enough work points.
If any family member dares to make trouble, a group of elderly people will surround that family member and point fingers at him, trying to see who can curse more fiercely.
Even if the other party wants to take advantage of their seniority, there will definitely be older people who come out and scold them.
They can't beat or scold the children, and no matter how aggressive or shameless the family members are, they have to accept the consequences and tearfully urge the playboys in their families to work hard and complete their reforms as soon as possible.
Hua Yun even took out his axe, ready to scare people, but in the end he never used it.
He said to Gao cheerfully, "Biao'er is amazing! Our son must learn from him in the future!"
Gao nodded vigorously and said, "Can you let Biaoer stay at our house for a while?"
Hua Yun leaned close to Gao's ear and said, "I'm only telling you this, so don't let anything slip. Biao'er's identity is questionable. If you want to have more contact with Biao'er, you must report it to the Marshal."
Gao's eyes flickered and she nodded, "I've got it. Biao'er will probably always be the teacher in the elementary school. I'll teach my son well. When he goes to school, he'll behave well in front of Biao'er. Even without us paving the way for him, he can still learn from Biao's good qualities."
Hua Yun smiled and said, "My son will be fine. I think he will be a scholar in the future, unlike me!"
Gao recalled how her son would fall asleep as soon as he heard her reading, holding the wooden sword tightly in his hands, and she could not say this against her will.
When Zhu Yuanzhang, who was fighting on the front line, received Hua Yun's letter, Li Zhen had already received several letters, which described how much the Yingtian Primary School Mediation Team had done.
When Chen Biao did this, he was very conscientious and used the reputation of Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying.
He said Zhu Yuanzhang had the second generation of generals protect the people, and that Ma Xiuying mobilized the families of the generals to take to the streets to share the people's worries. In any case, all the good things belonged to Zhu Yuanzhang and his wife, and Chen Biao was just an executor hiding in the shadows of Zhu Yuanzhang and his wife.
Chen Biao knew very well how to be a minister, and Zhu Yuanzhang laughed so hard that his wounds almost split.
Ma Xiuying tightened the bandage, causing Zhu Yuanzhang to cry out in pain: "Since you want the wound to open so badly, shouldn't I bandage it for you?"
Zhu Yuanzhang begged for mercy repeatedly.
Ma Xiuying snorted coldly, then smiled and said, "What good thing has Biaoer done again?"
Zhu Yuanzhang handed the letter to Ma Xiuying, his face beaming with joy as he said, "It's still about the Yingtian Mediation Team. Biao'er is truly amazing. I originally thought that with Hua Yun's temper, he would be able to keep the city under control. However, it wasn't that Hua Yun couldn't control the city, but that he was simply too busy to handle it. Fortunately, Biao'er was here. Otherwise, if we returned to Yingtian and discovered that the people of Yingtian had been oppressed by a bunch of little bastards and were planning to rebel against me, I'd probably have chopped off several heads."
The generals fought on the front lines, and when they returned, they saw their sons, nephews, and sons-in-law beheaded. They must have felt uncomfortable.
But Zhu Yuanzhang had to take action to set an example.
Zhu Yuanzhang pinched the bridge of his nose, his smile faded, then reappeared: "Biao'er really helped me a lot."
Ma Xiuying nodded. "This is your first time as a commander-in-chief, your first time managing so many people. It's normal to make mistakes. Biao'er and I will help you make up for it. Don't put too much pressure on yourself."
After she bandaged Zhu Yuanzhang's wound, she let him lie on her legs and gently pressed the acupoints on his head.
Zhu Yuanzhang sent eight armies to pursue Chen Youliang, constantly capturing and abandoning cities large and small in order to achieve the strategic goal in his mind.
In this era without radio, information transmission was very backward. If we waited until the news from other generals came, the opportunity to fight would have been missed.
Therefore, when making decisions on dividing troops, Zhu Yuanzhang could only rely on prediction.
He had to analyze the enemy's marching routes, the psychology and combat style of the enemy generals to predict the means they might take, and then take corresponding actions based on the actions the enemy would take.
The enemy troops were not dead, they were also analyzing the combat style and marching routes of Zhu Yuanzhang and his generals.
Fighting a war is like playing a game. You have to consider several steps before making one move, and you have to constantly change your strategy based on the opponent's actions.
Being a general is different from being a commander.
As long as a general is brave enough and has strict military discipline, he can lead an army well.
Being a general requires more than anything else: brains. Even when several, a dozen, or even dozens of armies attack simultaneously, a general can mobilize them with ease, coordinating them, and have a clear picture of the entire battle before it even begins.
Initially, Zhu Yuanzhang was the only commander-in-chief of the Zhu family army. He didn't even have a military advisor, and all strategies, big and small, had to be figured out by himself.
Now that Xu Cheng has grown up, he can help him share a small part of the marshal's duties. Later, for those who were awarded the title of marshal, the marshal was just a title, and they did not have the ability of a marshal.
After Liu Ji and others joined, they shared some of Zhu Yuanzhang's work.
But Zhu Yuanzhang's territory was larger, he had more soldiers to command, his enemies were more numerous and stronger, and it became more tiring for him to make decisions.
The tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of lives lost are not just numbers, they are all real human lives.
Zhu Yuanzhang had an excellent memory. He would remember the face and name of any soldier he met once and asked their name.
When he opened the list of casualties and prepared to distribute compensation money and food, the appearance of these people would always appear in Zhu Yuanzhang's mind like a kaleidoscope, like a nightmare.
Because of these nightmares, Zhu Yuanzhang was under great pressure every time he fought.
How would he feel if he couldn't win after losing so many of his brothers?
So in order to win, he had to do it even if he had to kill someone he didn't want to kill with his own hands.
Zhu Yuanzhang closed his eyes and said in a low voice, "While fighting on the front lines, the rear must remain in turmoil. Fortunately, Biao'er is here. I don't know how many of my brothers' bloodlines I have to kill to stabilize the rear. This killing has chilled my brothers' hearts, and my heart has become even harder. Xiuying, I'm afraid. I'm afraid that when I gain control of this world, will I still be myself?"
Ma Xiuying smiled easily and said, "You have Biao'er and you have me. How can you not be yourself? By the way, Biao'er wasn't scared when he saw Hua Yun, right? Neither my brother-in-law nor Biao'er mentioned this in their letters. Did Hua Yun mention it in her letter?"
Zhu Yuanzhang opened his eyes and said, "That's right! They didn't tell me the details of Biao'er and Hua Yun's meeting! This is definitely a problem! Biao'er must be hiding something from me!"
Zhu Yuanzhang sat up and said with a wicked smile, "Biao'er is hiding something from his father. He must have made a fool of himself, hehe."
Ma Xiuying said, "I think so. You should ask Hua Yun right away."
Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated and said, "Should we not ask what Biao'er doesn't want us to know?"
Ma Xiuying looked innocent: "We didn't ask about Biao'er's private affairs. Biao'er met with Hua Yun, and there were so many people present. How could this be considered a private matter? Besides, if we go back, someone will definitely tell us even if we don't ask. We just knew it in advance. Aren't you worried that Biao'er was scared by Hua Yun, but because Hua Yun is the garrison commander, he dare not complain, and you are afraid that you and Hua Yun will clash?"
After hearing what Ma Xiuying said, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded immediately: "Yes, yes, yes, Biao'er doesn't know that I am Zhu Yuanzhang. He might really think that Hua Yun is more powerful than Chen Guorui and is bearing the grievances on his own."
Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying hit it off immediately and quickly wrote letters to ask Li Zhen and Hua Yun for details.
Hua Yun told Zhu Yuanzhang about how she had scared Chen Biao, and admitted her mistake and praised Biao for his courage. After that, she kept hugging and rubbing against him, and was so cute that she wanted to snatch him away.
After Li Zhen and Chen Biao had communicated with each other, she wrote a letter to tell Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying about the ugly incident of Chen Biao climbing up the cabinet and being unable to get down.
Chen Biao spread his hands: "As long as it's not embarrassing, I'm not the one who's embarrassed. They just want to see me having fun, and as long as I don't care, they won't be able to have fun. Say whatever you want!"
Li Zhen couldn't help laughing.
When Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying received the letter, Ma Xiuying laughed so hard at Li Zhen's description of how Chen Biao was so scared that he climbed to the top of the cabinet and couldn't get down. Zhu Yuanzhang was furious .
"That idiot Hua Yun used an axe to scare my son! I will kick him to death!" Zhu Yuanzhang roared.
After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's roar, Ma Xiuying laughed so hard that tears came out.
Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily: "Madam! What are you laughing at? What's so funny? Aren't you angry? Biao'er is scared!"
Ma Xiuying: "Hahahaha..."
Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he circled around Ma Xiuying: "Biao'er was so scared that he jumped onto the cabinet! What's so funny about this! Don't laugh!"
Ma Xiuying: "Hahahaha... Stop, stop, don't say anymore. It's true that like brother you get like brothers. I'm laughing so hard my stomach hurts."
Zhu Yuanzhang: “…”
Wronged.
