After the marriage, the cousin was spoiled by the whole family of the Marquis's Mansion

Chapter 200 Making trouble
The rebels are basically stationed in villages. What they lack most are weapons and marching formations. They have relied on brute force to fight until now.

The biggest difference between them and the imperial army is that they refuse to obey discipline.

Those who are not officials want to be officials, and those who are officials want money.

Wan Lie now has almost no money to eat, so where would he get the money for military pay?

The court is corrupt, so the war can be won, but a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and this is enough to consume the rebels for many years.

It could be ten years, or it could be twenty years.

When Wan Lie went to Zhaofeng, he met Rong Lingkuan by chance, but he was deliberately looking for Ji Yunzhang.

He was also the one who spread the news about the Ji family.

He just wanted to force Ji Yunzhang to stand up, cooperate with the outside forces, and fight a battle that would surely be won in the shortest time possible.

He just wanted to accomplish what the gentleman wanted.

Rong Lingkuan went out after reading the letter. He and Brother Wan would patrol the area several times every day to prevent anyone from causing trouble.

In addition to ordinary farmers, there were also many beggars, gangsters, and bandits in the rebel army.

They all want to take advantage of the chaos and reshuffle in the world to get involved, hoping to gain military merit when the world is settled.

Such people run away the fastest during wars and grab the most during meals.

They are usually the ones that make the most noise.

Wan Lie and Ji Yunzhang were still discussing something in the house when they heard a noise outside.

The two rushed out of the house and saw a one-eyed burly man who pushed Rong Lingkuan to the ground.

"What are you doing?"

"Zhang Laosan! Look carefully, this is Mr. Rong!"

There were many people trying to stop the fight, but most people just watched the fun.

Zhang Laosan spat, "Damn you, sir! Not only do you have no money, but now you can't even fill your stomach!"

Before Wan Lie and Ji Yunzhang could take action, someone nearby picked up a hoe from the wall and swung it up.

In an instant, the people who were watching the excitement scattered like birds and beasts.

When Zhang Laosan was young, he was an idler in the village. Later, he became addicted to gambling and lost all his family's land and house. In the end, he even mortgaged his little daughter who was only a few years old to someone else.

When Zhang Laosan's parents died, they not only didn't have a coffin, they didn't even have a straw mat.

Zhang Laosan dug a hole in the mountains and buried him casually. There was no tombstone or even a wooden sign.

The truth is that after death, we turn into a handful of earth.

Everyone in the village scolded him, but Zhang Laosan just lived his life like this.

Until finally, when his wife couldn't stand it anymore and ran away, he started to do something like a Hui person.

It happened that the harvest was poor that year, and there were not many diligent people, let alone a lazy guy like this.

Now, Zhang Laosan has completely fallen into the quagmire.

He did everything except being rich, but all his money ended up in the gambling house.

In the end, he was not even allowed to enter the gambling house.

He returned to the village and became a bully. Everyone in the village hated him, but they couldn't beat him.

After several incidents in the government office, the officials finally got fed up and were no longer willing to deal with their affairs.

Until the world was in chaos and the rebels rose up.

At this time, someone told Zhang Laosan that if he joined the rebel army now and waited for the country to be settled, he would surely be able to become a county magistrate with his merits in founding the country!

The founding emperor of Da Qi was originally just a cook in the camp of a general of the previous dynasty!

He, Zhang Laosan, is not qualified to be an emperor, but being a county magistrate is enough for him!

Zhang Laosan discovered that if he joined the rebel army, he would be provided with food. Later, he also found that people with official positions would get money.

Gradually, Zhang Laosan became dissatisfied again, and he was the one who caused the most trouble.

It is easy to invite God, but it is difficult to send God off.

Rong Lingkuan is a scholar, and he has always had an ideal country in his heart.

Even though the family fled to Zhaofeng, they had never suffered and were much better off than the poor families. It was not until he came here that he finally understood what it meant to be uncivilized and stupid.

"What are you fighting for!"

Rong Lingkuan picked up a piece of mud from the ground and threw it on Zhang Laosan.

A piece of mud hit Zhang Laosan all over his body. He suddenly jumped up and pushed away the man who was fighting with him.

"I'll beat you to death!"

Zhang Laosan clenched his fist as big as a casserole and rushed straight towards Rong Lingkuan.

Ji Yunzhang narrowed his eyes slightly and exerted force on the spear in his hand.

It passed through the crowd of onlookers and landed right at Zhang Laosan's feet.

The butt of the gun vibrated due to the sound of the gunshot and hit Zhang Laosan directly in the face as he leaned forward.

Not everyone in the rebel army had weapons; many of them only had simple tools.

But the red tasseled spear stuck in the ground now is obviously a top-quality weapon.

If someone had such weapons, he might be a high-ranking official or the imperial army recruited by Mr. Wan.

They are all people who are more capable and better than him.

Zhang Laosan didn't move, he was still afraid of death.

Ji Yunzhang and Wan Lie walked over through the crowd.

The first person Zhang Laosan saw was Ji Yunzhang. Although this man looked expressionless, his aura was even greater than Wan Lie next to him.

Just one look was enough to scare him.

This person instantly reminded him of Boss Wu from the gambling house.

Rong Lingkuan ignored the dirt on his body and said, "What are you making trouble for? You were the one who started the trouble the day before yesterday, and you are making trouble again today!"

"Is there a shortage of food for you, or a shortage of clothes for you?"

"Which one of them is not urgent for you to come first! Don't say you have only been drinking porridge for two days! Brother Wan and I have been drinking it for six or seven days!"

"If you're not happy about it, just leave! We don't need you!"

Ji Yunzhang looked at his indignant brother-in-law and sighed softly.

No wonder Lan'er was so worried about him coming, he was indeed only suitable for studying.

He is trying to reason with a group of farmers and workers. No, this guy is not even as good as the farmers and workers. He is obviously a ruffian. Only he can think of such a thing.

The rebel army did not have a complete set of military rules, so it either depended on self-awareness or the leader.

When there are no rules, fists are the only way.

Rules are for obedient people.

Zhang Laosan looked at Ji Yunzhang and Wan Lie standing behind Rong Lingkuan, and he was obviously much weaker.

"I... No, I don't want to make trouble either. I've been drinking rice soup for two days and I'm feeling anxious!"

"I asked yesterday when the meal would be available but there was no definite answer. I asked today but there was still no definite answer."

"We are all fighting for our lives. When we die, we will just be a handful of dirt. It's not like the imperial army, where we can get a pension to leave to our families after we die."

"We are the rebels, we don't care about these things, but we have to fill our stomachs!"

As he said this, he turned sideways and raised his hand, "Everyone, tell me, is that right?"

"Yes!" Some people in the crowd actually agreed.

Zhang Laosan said more excitedly, "Now is the spring ploughing season. We have left our fields and come here. If we die on the battlefield, we will die. At most, we can be heroes again in 18 years."

"But we only want one thing, at least we can have a full stomach!"

Now more people agree with it.

"that is!"

“We want to have enough food!”
