My Daming New Empire

Chu Song was a little stunned, Lin San smiled and said: "These two guys have been close since childhood, and the two families are also married. They are closer than ordinary brothers, and they like to play and fight to show their closeness."

Chu Song nodded with a smile, and couldn't help but cast a glance at Tang Sai'er, who was sitting on the horse watching the fun with a smile on his face.

Even if he didn't feel it when he was in the capital, he can see it now.Although everyone is headed by Lin San, the core of these people is not Lin San, but this beautiful, low-key little lady.

He originally thought it was because of Tang Qian, but although everyone recognized Tang Qian as their master, Tang Qian was not a qualified leader except for his strong fists and dull personality.

This Miss Tang San was able to become the core figure of a group of elders at the age of 20 and still as a bride, so she was naturally not as innocent as she appeared.

Chu Song was a little strange. He was observing carefully, and his Highness reminded him, and he had preconceived calculations, so he realized that this Miss Tang San was not simple.

Why did His Highness know that Tang Sanjie was the leader among the four just by looking at her?

His Highness is really a man of God, no one can hide from him.

Ma Chong chatted and laughed with Wang Xuan, and then asked Tang Sai'er, "Third Sister, let's go, let's go to the cottage..."

Tang Sai'er said: "Go and tell Brother Gao to let him come back to the village. It is difficult and inconvenient to go to the mountains."

She glanced at Lin San, and Lin San immediately introduced knowingly: "This is Mr. Chu from Jinyiwei Qianhu..."

Ma Chong was close to Tang Sanjie and the others, but he didn't have a good look at Chu Song, a thousand households of Jinyiwei.

But knowing that Chu Song is Jinyiwei, naturally he didn't mention taking everyone to the cottage.He took a few people into the village and came to a big house.

Most of the peasant households in the village have two mud houses, but this one has a large yard, more than a dozen houses, and a wall about two meters high.

Everyone dismounted at the door, Lin San took out two fifty copper coins and handed them to Wang Xuan. "Monkey, you are familiar with Xieshi Village, go and buy some chickens."

Wang Xuan said with a smile: "You can buy a chicken with a dozen coins, not so much."

Ma Chong said displeasedly: "Third Brother, you have come to Xiishi Village, and you need to spend money. Isn't this a slap in the face of our head!"

Lin San smiled and said: "You go with the monkey, he will tell you if he has something to say..., and, please come back quickly, Brother Gao."

Although on the way here, Chu Song saw many farmers working in the field, but judging from the withered condition of the village, Chu Song had already guessed that the details of the village might not be so clean.

There are many mountains here in Qingzhou, and this village is at the foot of the mountain. The main strength may be hidden in the mountains, and this village is just a facade.

At the same time, Chu Song was also curious, why did His Highness the grandson know that Lin San and the others had a lot of power in their hometown when they met Lin San and the others for the first time?

Tang Qian was arrested by the government for hard labor. They had no choice but to go to the capital to file a complaint.

No matter in anyone's opinion, they are not capable.How did His Highness know that they were hiding a powerful force among the lower class folk in their hometown?

And who does this force belong to?

The more contact he had, the more doubts Chu Song had.

This house is not much different from most of the houses in the north. What is rare is that there is a cowshed in the house, which obviously raises a cow. This is considered a wealthy household.

But Chu Song didn't see a woman, nor did the elderly or children.

As soon as he entered the main room, Chu Song saw the two portraits hanging in the main hall, and most of the doubts in his heart were solved at once.These are two very ordinary portraits, one is the Jade Emperor and the other is Maitreya Buddha.

There are not a few people who worship the Jade Emperor, and there are also many people who worship Maitreya Buddha.But the only one who enshrines these two portraits together is the White Lotus Sect.

Chu Song remained calm, and after entering the room, he took off his coir raincoat and sat on a chair Tang Sai'er brought over.Seven or eight people sat around the door, watching the drizzle outside.

Lin San said at this time: "Master Chu, you must have seen some clues these days."

Chu Song didn't know what Lin San meant, so he deliberately pretended to be ignorant and said, "What did Brother Lin say?"

Lin San smiled and said: "His Royal Highness has looked at us differently from the very beginning, isn't it the credit of your Jin Yiwei? I never thought that His Highness might have known about my identity that I thought to be secret from the beginning. That's why he You value us so much, and you are willing to promise the position of Lord of a city."

Chu Song looked at his three subordinates. They were all capable men. In addition to the Xiuchun knife, they also had short-barreled muskets specially rewarded by His Royal Highness in their arms, so they were not worried about the consequences after the table was lifted.

He smiled and said: "Jin Yiwei is not omnipotent, and I only vaguely guessed your identities until I entered this main room."

This time, it was Lin San and Tang Sai'er's turn to look surprised. "Then why does His Highness treat us mud-legged people differently?"

"Your Highness is a person who is born with knowledge. Is it possible for you and my generation to guess what to do? However, in my opinion, I am afraid that because there is a "Buddha Mother" in Shandong Province, His Highness saw the third sister herself, so I can see it."

Tang Sai'er frowned. She always thought that she was hiding it well, but she didn't expect that the loophole was actually in herself.

Now that Chu Song had already guessed her identity, she said with a smile: "Since His Highness has already guessed our identity, but still supports us, it means that His Highness is not trying to wipe out our White Lotus Sect."

Chu Song said with a smile: "Since Your Highness wants us to support you, naturally there is no need to worry that we will disobey His Highness's orders. However, you don't want to push your feet... Your Highness has the world in mind and regards all people in the world as people. We still don't want to give His Highness Increased afflictions, what does the Buddha Mother think?"

Now that he had opened up his mind, Tang Sai'er nodded and said, "Naturally. We, the White Lotus Sect, are all poor people, and what we only ask for is a bowl of rice to eat. We are naturally grateful if His Highness tolerates us."

Chu Song's heart was also relieved, and he said easily: "You have never been to the West. There are thousands of countries and people of all colors in this world. In addition to us Han people, there are also Kunlun slaves who are black like ghosts and white like dead bodies. A white ghost with golden hair and green eyes.

His Highness often said: The world is big, my Ming is small, my Ming is strong, the Han people should occupy those fertile lands, occupy the richest gold mines, and let hundreds of peoples be my servants.It is not a skill to treat one's own people as slaves, but it is a skill to treat barbarian people as slaves. "

These days, Chu Song often talked to them about his experience of going out to sea after drinking and when he was bored, and instilled in them some of Zhu Zhanji's mentality.

So when he said this now, Tang Sai'er and the others did not doubt the authenticity of this sentence.

Lin San said a little excitedly: "Learn literary and martial arts and sell them to the emperor's family. Since Your Highness treats us differently, we are not wolf-hearted people. From now on, we will open up the territory for the Ming Dynasty and guard the land of the Far West." land."

Chu Song nodded and said: "If you can do this, His Highness will naturally not treat you badly. Regardless of weapons, horses, and food, all will be provided. Earn a piece of wealth and benefit future generations, so that this life will not be wasted."

Lin San actually took some risks this time, but after thinking about it these days, he still feels that since he wants to contact everyone, it is impossible to conceal his identity for a long time.

His Royal Highness did not deal with them in the capital, and the special envoys of Jin Yiwei came for a few days, and did not show the slightest hostility, so he decided to take a risk.

If you speak out, you don't need to hide your actions and words in the future.Moreover, if you want to attract more forces to join the team to open up the extreme west, you also need to spread it out. Only by letting everyone know that the imperial court supports them can they have more confidence.

After a while, Wang Xuan and Ma Chong entered the yard carrying a few chickens. Behind them was a forty-year-old woman who was obviously pulled by them to cook.

The woman had quick hands and feet, and boiled a pot of hot water in the kitchen. Wang Xuan and the others had already killed the chicken.She threw a few chickens into the boiling water bucket and soaked them for a while, and the feathers of the chickens fell off in an instant.

Lin San told Chu Song about the history of this Xishi Village, and let Chu Song know the importance of this place.

At this time, a tall and strong man of about 30 years old brought seven or eight young men into the yard.Although their clothes are ragged, they are very energetic and energetic, which is quite different from ordinary villagers.

When Lin San and the others saw this person, they quickly got up and greeted him. "Brother Gao, long time no see, I miss you so much."

Chu Song also stood up, thinking that this strong man should be Gao Yang'er in Lin San's mouth.

Gao Yang'er hugged Lin San with a smile, but looked at Chu Song and the others in flying fish suits. "Brother Lin went to the capital, and in a blink of an eye, corrupt officials from all over Shandong were captured in one fell swoop, what a great achievement!"

"I don't dare to take it. I'm lucky this time, otherwise I don't know what will happen. This time I came to find Brother Gao, and I also discussed it because of this."

At this time, Chu Song also clasped fists with Gao Yang'er and said, "You guys haven't seen each other for a long time, so you must have a lot to say. I'll go out for a tour and enjoy the surrounding scenery."

Although it was still raining outside, Chu Song waved his hand, and the three men came out together.
