Chapter 276: One World, Two Brothers (the last day of this month, ask for a monthly ticket

Chapter 276: Two brothers in the world (On the last day of this month, please give me a monthly ticket and subscribe!)

During the Daye period, after Emperor Yang Guang of Sui ascended the throne, he frequently recruited civilians to build palaces and Great Walls. He then went south to Jiangnan to conquer millions of people, built gardens and overhauled canals. In the past ten years, he had conquered Goryeo three times. Instead, he suffered heavy casualties and suffered heavy casualties. What is even more incredible is that when he conquered Goryeo for the third time, Goryeo only sent a letter of defeating the country. Yang Guang changed his attention and gave up his plan to half of the northern expedition, and went back to the court directly, wasting national strength, but he had nothing to get. It was quite difficult to see such a great success.

Of course, a large part of these things Yang Guang did was a great thing that could be blessed and his descendants and lasted for ten generations. It can be said that the Tang Dynasty could have a prosperous era for hundreds of years in the later years. Emperor Yang Guang of Sui made very little contributions to it. But unfortunately, Emperor Yang of Sui made all the results that had to be achieved by one or even several generations of people in more than ten years. While pursuing high efficiency, he could only use intensive labor to achieve this result due to the work efficiency in ancient times. According to historical records, the Northern Expedition alone was only used to achieve this result.

In Goryeo and Emperor Yang of Sui, he used millions of troops and civilians. It should be noted that the population of the Sui Dynasty was only 40 million. It can be said that 30 to 40% of the whole country were taken to fight and build canals, and dozens or millions of them died in the war. When they were supposed to farm, there were no young and strong people, and the rest were old, weak, sick and disabled. It can be imagined that if it were not for the strong foundation of Yang Jian, the father of Emperor Yang Guang, the father of Emperor Yang Guang, would have been unable to expose the blame immediately.

At this time, with the severe drought in the north, people who could not stand Yang Guang's actions in the campaign against the people rioted and uprising one after another. However, the uprising at this time had strong limitations of the peasant class and did not have enough advanced theoretical guidance. When some small achievements were achieved, many leaders of the rebel army fell into the class weakness of the peasant peasants and began to enjoy happiness and happiness. Then these rebel armies began to quickly become corrupt, and eventually became bandits and were wiped out by the imperial army. However, the remaining small number of enlightened and knowledgeable rebels could only retreat to the mountains and forests in front of the army and wandered around.

The real peak of the uprising was after Yang Guang conquered Goryeo three times. Nearly one million people lost to Goryeo, which had already saved the anger of the Sui Dynasty. So even if they could not survive, there were many civilians who placed the source of their anger on Goryeo, not on the emperor. However, when Goryeo submitted a letter of nationality and Yang Guang agreed to Goryeo's submission and retreated back to the army. The anger of the people was truly transferred to Yang Guang. It would be fine if the conquest of Goryeo failed, but it was not unacceptable that the people's relatives and friends died in the war. However, Yang Guang did not avenge him and could not make decisions for the people. In addition, we could not survive, and the new and old hatreds were simply reversed.

OK! Yang Guang was in trouble this time. He was forced by the rebel army and the Turks in the north at the same time. He could not stay in the north and could only move the capital to Jiangdu. It seemed that Yang Guang also saw the fate of his country and no longer cared about the affairs of the world. He only cared about drinking and having fun in the Jiangdu Palace. The affairs of the court were completely handed over to the two major families of Yuwen and Dugu.

At this chaotic world, it is also the moment when heroes rise in the storm. Not only are aristocratic families gathered, but the fact that Qin lost his dear will be chasing the world, there are also countless martial arts sects. The foreign rebels are waiting for an opportunity to get a share of the upcoming chaotic world.

However, these big things in the world have nothing to do with ordinary people. For ordinary people, life is an easy thing to satisfy. You can earn money every day when you work and eat at sunrise. You can watch your shop and your crops grow little by little. As long as you eat 70% or 80% full, your family will not starve to death. In fact, this wish is very simple. Get away from the world, whether you are fighting for the world or the eternal hegemony. If you live a good life, find a wife or a baby, that is my world. No matter who he belongs to.

This kind of thought cannot be said to be lacking in vision, but this kind of thought is the simplest and most ordinary common people's thinking. Not only in ancient times, but also in modern times with highly developed information, many people have such thoughts.

Of course, some of them are born to be extraordinary because they are not willing to succumb to fate. Although they are weak at present, they are not willing to be so incompetent and weak, and constantly struggle to get rid of their destiny. These people are not lacking in perseverance, qualifications, etc., and what they lack is an opportunity to change their destiny. Some people get this opportunity and can soar to the sky, but some people slowly smooth their will or lose their opportunities too early in this waiting, and they can only be lost.

Yangzhou City is on the Yangtze River with natural and convenient geographical conditions. It can be regarded as an important gate connecting north and south, east and west, and can even go straight out of the sea to reach the important exit of Japan and the South China Sea. It is bustling with people. If you don’t go to Yangzhou when you come to Jiangnan, you will be arguing that you are traveling across Jiangnan.

But just south of Yangzhou City, in the morning light early in the morning, there were crowds of people, "I want six buns." "Boss, I want eight!" People crowded up to the bun stall and shouted that they wanted to buy buns.

The busy figure on the bun stall was covered in gray linen clothes, and his appearance was even more beautiful and beautiful. His face was even red and beautiful under the steam of hot buns. Just looking at it made everyone who bought buns around him feel a lot of appetite, and he sighed that the old Feng family had married a beautiful concubine.

"Sister Zhen! Twelve vegetable buns." Amid the crowd, a young man with clear eyes and smiles suddenly appeared. The boy looked only fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a shabby robes, and his face was even more hungry. However, his pair of smart eyes turned straight, making him look weird.

"What kind of buns do you have no money to buy if you don't have money?" Zhen Sao, who sold buns, looked behind her inadvertently, then picked up twelve buns as fast as possible, wrapped them up, while pretending to answer coquettishly. It was obviously not the first time such a thing happened.

"Hehe! It's not that I have no money this time! Zhensao, I'll give you this money to subsidize our previous buns." The weird young man suddenly took the buns and immediately gave the money he held in his hand to Zhensao.

"No need to look for it, thank you, Mrs. Zhen!" The young man immediately took action, carried the bun in his arms, and then ran.

Zhensao looked at the strange young man's figure with a look of surprise, as if she noticed something, looking at the dozen extra copper coins in her hand. "You little bitch, don't work yet!? What are you looking at?" A roar suddenly grabbed the copper coins from her hand with a phantom-like technique.

"Oh! Wuzhu coins are so good! You bitch, you dare to hide them secretly!" Everyone who bought buns saw a fat woman with a fat face, who looked like she felt cruel and harsh, and immediately snatched the coins from Zhensao Zhen's hand, piled up with a fat face, showing a disgusting smile. While playing with these dozens of good Wuzhu coins, he beat and scolded Zhensao Zhen for her to work. Everyone around could only shake their heads and sigh, and secretly sighed that Zhensao Zhen had indeed married the wrong person.

However, Zhen Sao frowned at this time, and was worried about the origin of the coins in the boy's hand. You should know that these Wuzhu coins were minted by the old emperor, and the quality is much better than those circulating on the market now. Even sometimes, even the same silver is not as good as it is, which is enough for ordinary people to spend more than ten days. Where can this shabby boy get these coins?

By the way, the boy who bought the buns had just crossed the street with the buns. A rough and generous boy with thick eyebrows, big eyes, big ears, and a rough and wild and lazy taste suddenly ran out from beside him. Although this guy was one inch shorter than the elf boy, he had wide shoulders and thick back, a majestic figure, and his aura was even more bold than the elf boy. He was also wearing a brand new linen shirt. Although it was still inferior, it was better than the elf boy with dust on his face and patches.

He snatched two buns, chewed them up, and immediately said, "Did you give the money to Mrs. Zhen?"

"Well! Zhen Sao took care of us like this before, but now we have made a fortune, so of course we have to help her?" The elf boy nodded and said for granted.

However, the strong young man later said disdainfully: "Hmph! What's the use of paying back money now? In the end, you have to seize it for the shrew from the Feng family. It's better for us to use it. When we use this money to become Shi Long as our teacher, learn martial arts and read books, and become a high-ranking general, we will take Zhen Sao out of that ghost place."

"Okay, I can't say bad things about Mrs. Zhen. You forgot that when we were about to starve, Mrs. Zhen gave us buns. And, Mr. Zhong, did you buy your medicine?" The elf boy said with a little displeasure.

"Haha! You're angry... Master Ling!" He quickly finished eating the buns. The young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes smiled and said, "Isn't this just talking about it? As for the medicine, I bought it, but is that person still saved? Anyway, it's all like that. I think it's better to let him die for himself. We'll use the money."

Even though he said so, the boy still carefully took out the medicine in his arms and showed it to the elf boy. Then the two of them slowly walked out of the city.

Outside the northern suburbs of the city, two teenagers came here with a pack of things talking and laughing. By the way, this place used to be a big family, but they didn't know who they had offended, and their family was confiscated and their ancestors were destroyed. Then the house was broken out due to disrepair and wind and rain. There was not even a place to shelter from the rain, so even beggars were too lazy to live here. The two teenagers had to move here because the dilapidated temple where they lived was occupied by a group of beggars and hooligans.

But before we approached the dilapidated courtyard, a burst of noise had already come from the courtyard. The two boys looked at each other, and at the same time, they lightened their hands and feet, tiptoed to climb up the broken courtyard wall, and looked at the broken hall that could not cover the wind or avoid the rain.

At this time, there were nearly ten young men and young men in ragged clothes in the hall. The two young men named Zhong Shao and Ling Shao could see at a glance that these people were a group of beggars and gangsters in Chengnan District, Yangzhou. Just like the modern underworld, in ancient times, in order to survive, gangsters and beggars at the bottom of society were easily united, forming small gangs to suppress others, and exploit the lower-level similarities to obtain better survival opportunities and environment.

"Mr. Ling, what should we do? Should we leave first? Anyway, that guy is almost dead, so we have done our best to do this." Although the young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes said this, a firm look appeared in his eyes, and his tone still showed a lazy and careless look.

"No! Our money is all obtained from that person, and we are repaying the favor of a drop of water. Although we are just gangsters, we can't just stand by death and refuse to save us." The boy named Young Master Ling turned his eyes, but he couldn't think of any good idea, so he could only say this.

"Hey! There's nothing I can do. Since that's the case, I can only hit you." The boy with thick eyebrows and big eyes sighed, picked out a brick from the side and weighed it and put it in his hand.

"Mr. Zhong, you!"

"Hey, who told us that we are brothers, Mr. Ling, two brothers in one lifetime."

"Okay! Two brothers in the world, let us two brothers fight hard."

In the courtyard and in the hall, the ten teenagers looked hungry and yellow, and their clothes were standard beggars' outfits. In the old places, they could only be patched with rags of various colors and worn loosely. One or two of them were wearing much better clothes, and they did not look hungry and yellow on their faces. They were obviously the leader of this group of people.

"Boss, we didn't find the money hidden by the two little beasts, but we found this person. He lifted it up." As he said that, several people lifted a man covered in black and red blood scabs and had scars on his face from the only corner of the hall that could shelter from the wind and rain. The blood man had only a very worn and simple piece of clothes covering his body, but a kind of black appeared on the wound. Fortunately, the Spring Festival Gala is about to enter summer. Although it is free from the pain of the cold winter, it has to endure the pain of infection and rotting of the wound.

"Idiot! What I want is money. This dying person is going to be useful for me!?" The young man, who was about twenty, came up to kick the beggar carrying the man down. The wounded blood man also rolled to the ground. Although his whole body was covered with wounds, his hands and feet were twisted unnaturally, and seemed to have completely broken. However, during the rolling to the ground, he did not make a moan and scream, as if he was really just a dead person.

"Shi! Bad luck." Seeing this scene, no one present thought that this person could survive. Even the boss looked unlucky. He immediately turned his head and avoided the slightest bloody and rotten aura.

Huh! This boss, who looked a little white and neat, had just taken a step back. A strange whistling sound filled the ear curtains with wind. Then, his head suddenly felt a burst of Venus, and he couldn't see and hear anything around. He only felt a warm and humid sticky liquid flowing down his forehead. Subconsciously, he immediately turned scarlet.

"Ah!! Little beast, are you!?" The boss who was hit by a brick and saw blood in his forehead suddenly roared, pointing to the two figures outside the door and shouting: "Chasing me!"

Everyone immediately passed the wounded bloody man on the ground and suddenly chased him out. For a moment, the surroundings were full of chaos, and the pain and various sounds of ping-pong sounds kept coming out.

It was not until more than a moment later that two figures limped and covered in scars and dust helped each other into the dilapidated courtyard. They were the two boys Zhong Shao and Ling Shao. However, their original clothes were completely torn several times at this time, and their faces and limbs were even more purple everywhere. Even the boy with thick eyebrows and big eyes had swollen several parts on his face, and he was not even speaking very clearly. As for the weird boy, he limped and obviously had his right foot injured.

The two of them sat down by the dilapidated hall wall, then screamed in pain. The young man named Zhong Shao took out a pack of paper bags that were not rubbed from his arms, touching the lump on his face and said, "Hehe! Now, in addition to this pack of medicine, we are really penniless. We finally became a treasure, took some money, and were all shot. Not only can this guy use this pack of medicine now, we both need to use it."

"Hehe! Not only that! I have a little more of this here." At this time, Mr. Ling took out four flattened buns from his pants and smiled.

"Okay, let's put the medicine on him first. I still haven't woken up after going through this. I guess he's a useless person if he doesn't die. What's the benefit of saving him?" Kou Zhong said, but he stood up, took out a clean underwear in his arms, tore it into a cloth piece, and put the wounds in his arms up. He barely went to the backyard to get some clean well water, took out a broken clay pot, and started boiling medicine and boiling water. He carefully cleaned the blood stains and wounds of the blood man for a while, and also applied medicine to the wounds of the two of them and the blood man.

"We are busy with you, and we almost broke our legs and had our face broken. If you die, you will be so sorry for us." The wounds on the blood man were washed with medicine and wrapped around the broken arms. After a long time, the young man with wounds on his face looked at Young Master Ling who was sitting on the ground with a gray face. Looking at the medicine on his face and his appearance at this moment, he couldn't help laughing. Although he was embarrassed, the courage and hope for tomorrow were never lacking between them.

"Interesting!" Just as the two of them laughed, a cold and angry voice sounded like a blow, woke them up. A strange feeling that came from nowhere made them look at the strange man lying in the pile of thatched trees on the ground.
