MTL - Lovers Always on the Counterattack-Chapter 30
In the end, the mother of white satin still failed to resist the erosion of the disease.
After the day settled down, his son learned a good craft, and was no longer forced by poverty, Bai Mu's bones suddenly collapsed as if she had been relieved for a long time. She had been ill for months, and after all, had not survived the bitter winter.
This year's winter was exceptionally long and cold, and the snow was endless, blocking traffic and even overwhelming houses, making it even harder for poor people who were already hungry and cold to make ends meet, and countless elderly and young women died of rickets.
At this moment, the court did not take any measures to relieve the disaster. Officials in various places did nothing. Even various taxes and miscellaneous donations were not reduced or exempted. The sentence "Zhumen wine smells bad and the road has frozen bones."
As the so-called "government forces the people to fight against the people," the people who have been living under oppression for years have finally become intolerable, and they have emerged, attacking the wealthy households and even the barns of the county. Also touch the fish from the muddy water.
Mobsters have sprung up everywhere, but the government is helpless because of snowfall in many remote areas. At this juncture, there is even worse news-a group of servicemen also took the opportunity to launch a rebellion. Quite different from ordinary mobs, they have a leader called Zhou Mo.
Although Zhou Mo is famous, the court did not take him too seriously. Today's Zhou Mo is just an ordinary cheat. He has no food, no grass, no soldiers and horses, even if he has three heads and six arms and is familiar with military strategy. However, at this time, the shoal of the dragon trapped, even the uprising and rebellion would not be a climate.
The contempt of the court gave Zhou Mo a valuable opportunity to grow his own. He quickly captured a large number of towns and villages, took advantage of the opportunity to gain a foothold, and people from all over the world responded and took the initiative to invest in his Majesty for his drive.
These people had to resist because of their livelihood. Although the materials they seized were enough to support them through this cold winter, after the spring of the following year and the ice and snow melted, they were waiting for the imperial court's siege.
At such a gloomy prospect, Zhou Mo's appearance no doubt gave them a hope of survival-now, the only one who can lead them against the imperial army is the one who once managed to turn the tide and expel the North Hu people from the country General Pingbei.
In order to survive, this group of ordinary people tried their best to quickly become a real army under Zhou Mo's training-after all, the former Zhou Mo relied on ordinary people who had just been arrested for military service. He drove the sturdy North Hussars away, and he was very good at training such things.
The open barn was used as an army barracks and occupied counties to seize weapons. Wherever Zhou Mo's army went, the soldiers and defenders of the city surrendered without much resistance. On the one hand, the people are turning their backs, and the people are fed up with the corruption and greed of the court, and are unwilling to sacrifice themselves for them; on the other hand, they are indeed afraid of Zhou Mo's reputation and dare not fight with them.
By the beginning of the spring, Zhou Mo had accumulated a huge force in his hands. At this moment, the court was too late to hear the news, and was shocked. He dispatched an army to the counterinsurgency, but it was repeated. The situation of the North Hu people going south.
The court's army collapsed in the face of Zhou Mo, who was already prepared. The so-called "know oneself, know one another, and never be out of battle." Zhou Mo knew about the army of the court, but the court knew nothing about Zhou Mo's strength. -And this time, they did not find another "Zhou Mo" who used soldiers like God to lift the crisis for them.
Zhou Mo led his army to sing all the way, rushing into the rich Central Plains region from the bitter cold place. Unlike the Beihu people, his army has a strict discipline and does not commit ordinary people wherever he goes. Instead, he opened up food and aided the people, quickly regaining the hearts of the people, and even made people everywhere rejoice in their arrival.
And the county where the white satin lived was just doing a superficial resistance, and opened the gate to welcome Zhou Mo ’s army.
Among the people welcomed by Jiadao, White Satin saw Zhou Mo once again, but this time, he was wearing an armor and riding on a jujube steed.
The bitter cold career of the frontier for several years made him look a lot thinner, but he looks more and more sturdy, and no one dares to underestimate the power hidden in him; there are a few scars on his face, which have been sharpened by wind and frost. He was more determined and serious, his eyes were cold and decisive, and every move revealed the cool and stern power of the soldiers.
-It seems ... a little better than a few years ago.
White satin stared silently at the hero who once rescued the people from the iron ride of the North Hu people, and now once again put on the battle against the decaying imperial court, his heart was full of reverence, and the next second, he once again with the side Zhou Mo's eyes met.
But this time, White Satin did not look away as before, but instead greeted the other person's gaze directly, revealing a smile full of joy and longing.
Zhou Mo froze slightly, then raised the corners of his mouth slightly, softened the hard face in an instant, and returned a slight smile to him.
Soon, the eyes of the two people were blocked by the crowd of cheering crowds. Zhou Mo struck past the soldiers, and the white satin also recovered his eyes, but it was difficult to hide his good mood, and he walked easily and leaping. Back to your own shop.
This is the first time that Bai Shuang has cleared up since the death of Bai Mu. It seems that his life is the same as this dynasty and he has new hope. Even, he quietly thought about whether to join Zhou Mo's army to join the army, but thinking that he could not resist his shoulders and could not raise his hand, and had never played in the Dalian frame since he was a child, he finally gave up this illusion with self-knowledge. .
What's more, he really didn't like blood and killing. Even if he joined the army, he could not adapt to the cruelty on the battlefield.
White satin was ready to continue to be his own civilians, but unsurprisingly, the next day, his store was knocked by several soldiers wearing leather armor.
White satin has always been a peaceful and self-serving little people. Seeing these soldiers who had obviously been stained with blood, they really beat the drums and quickly asked them what they wanted, but they were taken to the county by a few soldiers without saying a word. ——At present, Zhou Mo has already requisitioned this place as his daily place for military affairs.
I heard that it was General Zhou who wanted to see himself, and White Satin was excited and embarrassed along the way, but unfortunately a few soldiers had very tight-lipped mouths. No matter how White Satin asked, he refused to reveal anything, only to euphemistically calm him. Good thing. "
Finally, the white satin trot came to the county hall, and the master of the county knew that he was waiting at the door. His eyes brightened when he saw the white satin, and he dragged him into the lobby.
Above the hall, Zhou Mo is sitting in the top position and talking with several vice generals about the next march. Seeing that Zhixian and Baixian came in, he compared the gesture of pause: "Master Liu, this is the carpenter with excellent craftsmanship?"
"Exactly!" Liu Zhixian nodded again and again. "Don't look at his young age and look as innocent as a scholar, but the craftsmanship is definitely not ordinary. Even if it is put in the capital, it will never fall behind!"
"It's so good." Zhou Mo nodded slightly. "This little brother is called ...?"
"Dog!" Liu Zhixian replied earnestly, "White dog!"
Zhou Mo froze for a moment: "White ... dog?" Immediately, he turned his head to the side, and "chuo" laughed out loud, causing several vice generals to widen their eyes suddenly.
"Dog ... is the nickname of Caomin." Bai Samo was red with red ears and awkward smiles by Zhou Mo. "Caomin has another big name, called white satin ..."
Only then did Liu Zhixian react to shouting his cheap name in front of General Zhou, and then blushed, opened his mouth dryly, and sneered: "Oh, yes, yes, it's white satin. We rural people, I ’m used to nicknames, please do n’t blame the army ... "
"It doesn't matter." Zhou Mo managed to stop laughing, and barely pressed the corners of the raised lips, but his eyes were still full of smiles. "Now it's not in the country. It's not really appropriate to call Xiaoming, but I use" white satin ". Match it. But ... "He raised his hand and covered his lips." The name dog is quite interesting and cute. "
The white satin was so embarrassed that he buried his head deeply and didn't want to lift it.
Seeing that the white satin was blushing, it was about to smoke, Zhou Mo gave a cough, no longer teased him, and raised his hand to signal Liu Zhixian to leave.
Soon, the hall's door was closed, making the atmosphere in the hall a bit mysterious, and the white satin quickly woke up, and the embarrassment in his head turned into a trance.
"Little brother Brothers don't have to be nervous. I asked you to come here this time, hoping to get your help." Zhou Mo slowed his tone. "I heard that you are the most famous carpenter in Shili and Baxiang, so I want to ask you to come for me Build a device. "
White satin froze and hesitated for a moment: "The grassroots will only make some farm furniture. The equipment used in this army ... grassroots have never been contacted."
"It was taken for granted." Zhou Mo smiled slightly. "But I heard that the little brother Bai is highly skilled, thoughtful and ingenious, and has made a lot of wonderful small artifacts. There is one in Liu Zhixian that was given to him. I watched it, and I was deeply impressed-I think that as long as the little brother Bai is willing, it will definitely help me. "
"Those are just funny little things, nothing to praise ..." White Satin drummed, becoming more and more disturbed.
"Little brother Brothers don't have to be modest. If this doesn't work, I can only say it's fateful, and I will never blame you." Zhou Mo calmly applauded, "Although the current situation of our army is better, it is better than the regular army of the court I still lack experience, and my equipment is a lot worse, and I still face a very serious threat. The soldiers trust me and give my life to me. I also cherish every life of them and never want to see them sacrificed in vain-so , I want to make a deterrent and lethal offensive device, and I already have a general idea. If it is successful, it will definitely save countless lives! "
Zhou Mo's words were not fierce, but they were extremely heavy and solid, attracting a surge of white satin. He still remembers his father who sacrificed on the battlefield, and also misses Zhou Mo's thoughts of loving soldiers like children. Although he was not sure whether he was capable of accomplishing this great event, he finally hesitated and hesitated in Zhou Mo's words and was willing to let it go.
After getting the promise of white satin, Zhou Mo couldn't help but be overjoyed, and quickly beckoned white satin to step forward and slowly open a scroll.
Several scrolls of semi-finished products were drawn on the scroll's silk cloth, and the white satin looked down carefully, his eyebrows unconsciously wrinkled and lost his thoughts.
"... how? This sketch, do you have a way to perfect it?" Zhou Mo asked softly.
White satin pursed his lips and nodded a little: "This ... Caomin really has some ideas ..."
——Although I have never seen a similar device, I do n’t know why, the white satin understood the structure at a glance, quickly spliced it into my head, and even found several errors.
——It was incredible that it went smoothly.
Hearing Bai Sang's answer, let alone Zhou Mo, even the deputy generals who were watching could not help but be amazed.
Zhou Mo was so excited that when he grasped the hand of the white satin holding the scroll, he pulled him to his side and hugged him tightly: "I know! At the first glance of the little brother Bai, I know you will See what I mean, it must be my confidant! "
The hug was short but enthusiastic, and white satin was at a loss. He met Zhou Mo's eyes full of heat, listening to the "confidant" from his lungs, his heart suddenly moved, a warm current emerged.
——The person who died as a confidant, about ... is such a feeling, right?
