Chapter 1421 Three Villages Surrender
With a distance of only one mile and a few words, Zhu Pingan got off the carriage immediately. On the one hand, he wanted to get out of the car and direct everyone to arrange their arrangements. On the other hand, he really couldn't bear the glare of the demon girl Ruonan. The carriage was only so big, and there was no way to avoid the eyes of the demon girl Ruonan who was swishing like a sword.
Zhu Pingan had already stepped off the carriage, and the demon Ruonan did not forget to glare at Zhu Pingan's back.
When I think that flowers are plants, the enchantress Ruonan feels disgusted when she hears the word "flower". And the culprit of all this is Zhu Ping'an, that bastard, so I don't give him a blank look. Who rolls his eyes.
Although Hua'er also has a flushed face, the way she looks at Zhu Ping'an is different from that of the demon girl Ruonan. The demon girl Ruonan has supercilious eyes, while she has big, watery eyes that are shy, smelly, and full of affection

"Okay, everyone has worked hard. Don't be in a hurry to unload. Someone will help you later. Let's rest for a while."
Zhu Ping'an stood on a high place and said to a group of convoys. There were 113 people in the convoy. Made up of carriages, Except for ten of the carriages, which were provided by the Yamen of the Procuratorate for Punishment and Prosecution, the others were rented from the Yamen. Thirty of the accompanying people were servants of the Yamen, the Procuratorate for Punishment and Prosecution, and the remaining more than a hundred came from other yamen. Seconded servant.
"Thank you, sir." All the officers thanked him happily.
While the officers were resting, Zhu Ping'an did not rest. He led Liu Dadao and others to ride horses around Taohuaji, observe the terrain and landforms, and then use bamboo poles to build the outer barriers, sentry towers, and towers of the general camp. The tent living area, toilet area, training area, shooting area, etc. are planned and marked one by one.
"Sir, do you think the master can bring the person here on time?" Liu Dadao looked into the distance and asked with some worry.
"Definitely, because they arrived yesterday, in the nearby forest. I asked them to come here at three o'clock, well, they are almost there." Zhu Pingan said to Liu Dadao with a smile.
"They arrived yesterday?!" Liu Dadao was stunned immediately, "Didn't you see them coming to send a message?"
"Ruonan has a special contact with them." Zhu Ping An smiled slightly and explained simply.
Sure enough, I soon saw a large group of people coming out of the forest on the hillside not far away, running towards this side.
“Look, they are coming, let’s welcome them.” Zhu Pingan said to Liu Dadao and others.
"Dad~~" The demon girl Ruonan is worthy of her foundation in Qinggong. She arrived first, quickly passed Zhu Ping'an and others, and was the first to greet him. She hugged the arm of the strong leading man and shouted happily. .
The strong man in the lead was Ruonan's father Ruofeng. When he saw the demon Ruonan, every cell in his body was laughing. He patted the demon Ruonan's shoulder gently and said with a smile, "Haha, girl. , I'm back."
"Welcome to you, brother Ruo, and I will reward you for your merits later." Zhu Pingan came forward with fists in his hands.
"Meet Mr. Zhu." Ruofeng stepped forward and knelt down on one knee to salute, expressing his formal submission to Zhu Ping'an.
Hu Laosan and others from their cottage also knelt down.
However, the other two bandits who had returned to the village looked at the young Zhu Ping'an and stood there with their mouths wide open in surprise. They all smacked their tongues. How come Master Zhu is so young and can be described as a young boy? .
"Xia Laoqi, Zhang Hu, why are you still sitting around? Why don't you come over quickly to meet Mr. Zhu? And you bunch of bastards, why don't you kneel down quickly and meet the adults to accept you? You're just lucky." Ruofeng turned and shouted at the two village leaders and the bandits.
"Greetings to your lord."
Under Ruofeng's shouting, the bandits from the other two villages came to their senses and knelt down to pay their respects. They were just surprised that Zhu Ping'an was so young, not that they were resisting recruitment.
The demon girl Ruonan looked at her father kneeling to Zhu Pingan with a complicated face, but did not stop her, because it was normal for subordinates to kneel to their superiors, but she still couldn't accept it
"Brother Ruo, please get up, everyone, please get up."
After everyone knelt down, Zhu Ping'an stepped forward to support Ruonan's father, smiled and shouted to Ruonan's father and the bandits. It wasn't that Zhu Ping'an wanted to take advantage of Ruonan's father, but he wanted to confirm the fact that the bandits would surrender.
In a feudal society that pays attention to etiquette and strict hierarchy, kneeling has a special and profound meaning. On this occasion, their kneeling expressed acceptance of the invitation and submission to the court. Zhu Ping'an had to accept their kneeling.
"Thank you, sir. Sir, please don't call me Brother Ruo again. You are a sir, and I can't bear it." Ruofeng stood up and scratched his head. However, he was not satisfied with Zhu Ping'an calling him "Brother Ruo" in front of everyone. Big brother, he was full of pride when he looked at the two cottage owners, Xia Laoqi and Zhang Hu. Did you see it? Sir, you call me big brother. You didn’t believe it when I told you first, but you will believe it this time.
"Haha, in public affairs, we should be commensurate with our positions. In private, we talk about brothers." Zhu Ping'an said with a smile.
"You can't do it privately." Ruofeng declined repeatedly. Of course, when he looked at Xia Laoqi and Zhang Hu, he even more
"Okay, you guys have come all the way to trust me, Zhu Pingan. I, Zhu Pingan, will never Let down everyone You trust me. Now that Japanese pirates are rampant and life is in ruins, it is the time for our government to employ people. If you can abandon the darkness and turn to the light, our government will naturally forget the past. Your past sins will be wiped out. From today on, you will all be enslaved. Join the regiment training under my command. From today on, you are no longer a bandit, but a regiment training officer who receives royal rations and pay. I promise you that you will be paid on time every month. Of course, you will be rewarded for your merits! You must also obey my orders and abide by military discipline, otherwise you will be severely punished!"
Zhu Ping'an stood on a high slope, waving his arms, and made a loud promise to the bandits who had just surrendered.
"When we meet your lord, we will obey your orders." A group of bandits knelt on the ground.
"Okay, let's make rice in the pot. I bought a slaughtered pig and a sheep in Taohua Town. I will stew meat today. There will be enough rice and steamed buns. Everyone can eat it with open belly. The rest Let’s talk about it after dinner.”
Zhu Pingan waved his hand.
"Ah, a pig, a sheep" After hearing this, all the bandits drooled.
Since the flood, their life has been difficult, otherwise they would not agree to the recruitment. It's been a long time since I've had a full meal, not to mention that today I had a pig and a lamb stew.
Everyone cried out excitedly, "Thank you, sir, thank you, sir."
At this point, the three major mountain villages have officially surrendered to Zhu Ping'an. Of course, it is only a preliminary surrender. It will take more to completely conquer these bandits. time. (End of chapter)
