After talking with Ma Guoxiang, the servant led him to Mrs. Ma's room in the backyard. His wife Ma Xiaofang and Mrs. Ma were sitting in the hall. Zhu Hongsan entered the room and knelt down in front of Ma Xiaofang and said, "Madam, I was wrong, go home with me. I didn't sleep well last night without my wife's company. I didn't eat well this morning. I saw that my teeth were swollen. I came to pick up my wife early in the morning."

When Ma Xiaofang saw Zhu Hongsan's bear look, she was even more angry and lowered her head and didn't say anything.

Mrs. Ma was actually not satisfied with Zhu Hongsan. After all, her daughter was bullied. But what can it be done? Women should tolerate it in this environment. In addition, seeing that Zhu Hongsan had just knelt down to Ma Xiaofang, it was enough.

Mrs. Ma said, "Son-in-law gets up and sits down first."

After Zhu Hongsan was ready, Mrs. Ma said again: "Do you know the son-in-law? Xiaofang is already two months pregnant."

As soon as Mrs. Ma said that, Zhu Hongsan was overjoyed and jumped up and asked, "Is Xiaofang really?"

Ma Xiaofang gave Zhu Hongsan a red look and nodded.

Zhu Hongsan jumped up happily and hugged Ma Xiaofang and kissed him, "My wife, do you know how happy I am? I have three generations of single passports."

Mrs. Ma said on the side: "Son-in-law don't mess around anymore. Xiaofang rode a horse to find you yesterday. Do you know how dangerous this is?"

Zhu Hongsan really regretted this time when he heard Mrs. Ma say this. This time, he was a human being twice. This is the first time he experienced the feeling of being a father.

Zhu Hongsan knelt down respectfully in front of Ma Xiaofang and said, "Xiaofang, I swear as my ancestor of the Zhu family (Zhu Yuanzhang scolded: It's all my business). I will never make you angry again. I will definitely make you happy and have more children."

Ma Xiaofang spat and said, "I didn't do anything right in front of my mother."

Seeing that his wife forgave him, Zhu Hongsan was about to take his wife home. Naturally, he couldn't ride the horse anymore, so Zhu Hongsan went out to find the housekeeper Zhu Kui to prepare the carriage.

There were only Madam Ma and Daughter left in the room. Madam Ma said, "Daughter, you cannot believe the words of men. You must give birth to a boy so that your status will not be shaken."

Ma Xiaofang said: "No, mistress is not that kind of person."

Mrs. Ma said, "Silly child, look at your father. If you hadn't given birth to your two brothers for your mother, would your father have made me bully to such an extent?"

Ma Xiaofang smiled and said, "Mom, you know that it's oppressing Daddy."

Mrs. Ma said angrily: "What mother said is to be good to you. Don't look at Zhu Hongsan treating you well now. When you are old and Fenghua is gone in a few years, you will feel uncomfortable if you don't have a son to support you. You will feel uncomfortable at that time."

When Ma Xiaofang saw her mother angry, she nodded without understanding it.

This is Zhu Hongsan has prepared the carriage, and the carriage is covered with thick cushions. He bid farewell to his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and then Ma Xiaofang goes home.

On the way, Ma Xiaofang asked, "You went to Ruyan to live last night."

Zhu Hongsan quickly denied: "No, I can't feel that way if my wife leaves. I slept by myself."

Ma Xiaofang said, "Master, I am pregnant now and can't go to the room. Ruyan is my niece. If you want to go, how can I get angry if I am happy?"

Zhu Hongsan thought: It would be strange if I believe you. Then he swears that he didn't go to Ruyan.

Ma Xiaofang then believed it and said, "I shouldn't have ridden a horse yesterday when I was pregnant."

Zhu Hongsan said: "It's okay, my son must be a big hero. This small setback makes him rare."

Ma Xiaofang smiled and didn't say anything.

Back at the farm, Zhu Hongsan summoned everyone to announce the good news and had a child. Everyone congratulated him one after another.

In the evening, because Ma Xiaofang was pregnant and could not have sex, Zhu Hongsan had to stay in Ruyan's room. Unexpectedly, Ruyan deliberately catered tonight, and did many actions he didn't want to do before. Zhu Hongsan was really strange. He asked what was wrong. Ma Ruyan's light words made Zhu Hongsan feel that the palace fighting was coming. Because Ma Ruyan said: "Master, I want a child too."

The rabbit crisis was finally resolved successfully. Zhu Hongsan also felt that he had done a lot before. He should calm down, so he spent the next few days at home to concentrate on serving his wife.

On the third day, Ma Jingyuan led the two hundred Ma family members to the farm. These two hundred people were not all relatives of the Ma family, most of them were tenants and slaves. After all, the Ma family had just developed for two generations, and they were still far from those big families, so they could only be said to be upstarts.

Zhu Hongsan first asked Ma Jingyuan to lead the barracks. After all, there were a total of 1,000 people, so the house was definitely not enough to live in. After that, he led Zhu Hongyi and two non-commissioned officers to the refugees to collect people.

When I arrived outside the city, I saw that there were a lot more refugees, and now there are about 30,000 people. It is almost more than the number of people in Shangxian Town.

Zhu Hongsan asked Qian Yong and the others to shout: "Please take care of people, take care of two full meals."

It doesn't matter if this shout comes, seven or eight thousand people come over at once, and the refugees next to him are pouring over here. Zhu Hongsan then went to a box and held a tin loudspeaker and shouted: "No women, no children, only eighteen-year-old young and strong."

After a thousand miles of trekking, most of the refugees who could come here were young and strong. Zhu Hongsan and the others could choose. Basically, they chose some people who were not a family, who looked sick, and those who looked despicable. As long as those who looked honest and honest, they collected five hundred people on the first day, and another two hundred people on the second day. Zhu Hongsan thought about it and added 200 people from the Ma family, which was nine hundred. With his current strength, he was almost enough, and there were too many indigestion. I will talk about the vacancy later.

Like those non-commissioned officers, the nine hundred people first had some delicious food and exercise appropriately at low intensity. Half a month later, the six hundred people plus the thirty non-commissioned officers in the early stage stood on the playground waiting for Zhu Hongsan to speak. Zhu Hongsan stepped forward and looked at Ma Jingyuan standing in the crowd. This guy made Zhu Hongyi feel bad for the past half month, but he persisted. Because when he came, he told him that you are not the third young master of the Ma family, nor my elder brother-in-law. You do whatever you do, eat whatever you eat, and get out if you don’t work. Unexpectedly, this guy really persisted, which was quite impressive.

Zhu Hongsan held the iron megaphone and said loudly: "I am your master. How have you eaten in the past half month?"

"Very good, sir!"

"How are you living?"

"Very good, sir!"

"Okay, you eat mine and live in mine, and your life is mine. From now on, I will be an order, and you will not frown even if you want to die. Do you know?"

"I know, sir!"

"Non-commissioned officers, tell me how much your monthly salary is in a month."

"One or two per month, sir!"

Zhu Hongsan said to everyone: "You heard that if you become a soldier of the militia through training, you will also have one or two taels of silver every month, and will be paid in full, without any color breaks, and no one will drink soldiers' blood."

The people below began to whisper: "One or two silver coins, if there is no color break, it is really a lot."

Zhu Hongsan continued to shout: "Now, for everyone's peace of mind, each person will give you five taels of silver to settle the family. If you want to continue working, you will collect the money. If you don't want to work, please leave yourself."

As soon as I heard that I would take the money now, no one moved.

Zhu Hongsan shouted, "Okay, since no one left, I agree with what I said just now. After taking the money, I was thinking that it would be impossible to leave. Everyone knows that my militia was run by officials. In order to defend the place, you will be deserters when you leave. According to military law, you will be beheaded. Do you know?"

"Yes, sir!"

Seeing Zhu Hongsan signaling the non-commissioned officers to carry the silver, a total of 15 large boxes of 4,500 taels of silver. After opening it, there was a silver light. Many people had never seen so much silver in their lifetime. They looked up one after another.

Zhu Hongsan asked the soldiers to walk past him in rows. When each soldier passed by, Zhu Hongsan handed over a ingot of five taels of silver to the soldiers. When he saw many people crying after receiving the silver, he talked about why his relatives didn't stick to the end.

There are not many people now, so the money must be distributed by yourself. How could Zhu Hongsan let go of this good opportunity to win people's hearts? After the distribution, the formal training will begin.

Zhu Hongsan divided 900 people into thirty teams, each with thirty people. The captain was called the platoon leader, which means one row. Regardless of the current spear formation and the future musket formation platoon platoon platoon, they are basic units. The platoon leader is already considered a low-level officer in Zhu Hongsan's plan. There is no arrangement for platoon or above positions. Zhu Hongsan wants to see the training before talking about it.

The group was completed, and then there was regular training. Zhu Hongyi was the chief instructor. His marriage had been settled. A few days ago, he went back to the Ma family and asked Ma Ruhua for his body sale contract from Ma Ma. Zhu Hongyi and Ma Youfu had already agreed and were preparing to marry Ma Ruhua on the sixth day of the fifth month.

Seeing a group of non-commissioned officers training these new recruits, Zhu Hongsan couldn't help laughing secretly. These non-commissioned officers were also new recruits half a year ago, and now they are pretty good. Thinking of this, Zhu Hongsan thought of his father in his previous life saying: The army is a melting pot, and no matter what kind of iron block can make you turn into steel. Thinking of his father in his previous life, Zhu Hongsan said secretly: Dad, did you live well in his previous life?

A month passed quickly, and through training, I really found a large number of talents. Nine company commanders have been selected, six are non-commissioned officers, and two are refugees. Qian Yong and Zhao Si were selected one after another, and Ma Jingyuan was also elected as the company commander because of his training efforts. Ma Jingyuan stood out and ranked among the top in terms of queues and studies. This is of course. Ma Jingyuan has studied and has a faster understanding ability than others. In addition, he ate well when he was a child, had good health and good physical strength. Naturally, no problem.

The positions of the three battalion commanders have not been decided. I originally wanted Zhu Hongyi to be one, but if he doesn't do it, he will stay with Zhu Hongsan.

Zhu Hongyi thought about it and might as well have a big competition to see whoever leads the team is the battalion commander.

After making up his mind, Zhu Hongsan asked the nine company commanders to prepare. He was scheduled to organize a large-scale competition in half a month. The three who won were battalion commanders and took charge of the power of the first battalion of 300 people.

The nine people went down and decided not to mention it.

After returning home, Zhu Hongsan asked Ma Xiaofang, "Didn't your third brother come to plead with you?"

Ma Xiaofang asked, "No, what's wrong?"

Zhu Hongsan said, "Oh, I want to choose three battalion commanders. I thought Ma Jingyuan could come to plead with you."

Ma Xiaofang said, "You look down on my third brother too much. My father used to scold him because he was not as good as my two biological brothers in school. But my third brother is not a waste either."

Zhu Hongsan curled his lips and said, "It's not a waste, but I have even stripped my pants from the tree."

When Ma Xiaofang heard her husband mentioning the embarrassing things before, she angrily said, "You are just a scoundrel."
Chapter completed!
