The founding of the Ming Dynasty began with tricking Zhu Yuanzhang into recognizing him as his fathe

Originally, Ma Baoshan was a native of the nearby Majia Village, and his ancestors were quite wealthy and were famous landowners in the neighborhood. In Ma Baoshan's generation, there are thousands of acres of fertile land, 100 hectares of mulberry land, seven tiled houses in and seven out, and no less than ten servants.

Ma Baoshan himself is also quite brainy and good at business, under his control, the Ma family is prosperous and rich.

Although Ma Baoshan was rich, he was also kind and charitable, often helping the poor in the village, and also set up a school in the village to teach children in ten miles and eight towns for free.

Even when there was a famine in the neighboring village, he was generous and not stingy. Therefore, he is known as Ma Dashan, and many people are offering his ancestral shrine spiritual position at home. But no matter how kind Ma Baoshan is, there are always people who are red-eyed in secret.

Once, Ma Baoshan kindly took in two begging beggars, but he never wanted to cause him a big disaster.

Someone went to the government to report that the two beggars taken in by Ma Baoshan were rebellious Mingjiao, and the government did not investigate, so Ma Baoshan was directly put in prison.

If it weren't for his wife Zheng who spent a lot of money to rescue Ma Baoshan, I am afraid he would have died in prison.

With the first false accusation, there is a second, a third. The government also tasted the sweetness, and every time Ma Baoshan was falsely accused, he was imprisoned without any investigation.

The Zheng family spent money to ransom Ma Baoshan again and again, and the government imprisoned him again and again. Even the Ma family's hugely rich family can't withstand such a toss from the government. In less than three years, all the production capacity of the Ma family was sold, leaving only an old house!

Even so, the government had to wipe out the Ma family, and arrested Ma Baoshan in a cell again. Poor Zheng shouted that there was no way to be wronged, that the sky should not be right, and that the earth was not spiritual. In order to rescue Ma Baoshan, she actually crashed into her head and died in front of the county yamen.

Seeing that he really couldn't squeeze out oil and water, Ma Baoshan was released, and after he came out this time, his family was already ruined, and the whole family was left with him and his daughter who was less than four years old.

After returning home, Ma Baoshan first sold his family's last ancestral property, and then slaughtered the family of the person who reported him one night, and then took his daughter to the mountain to become a bandit.

With his good popularity and the increasingly heavy oppression of the government, Ma Baoshan's team soon changed from one person to a team of hundreds of people.

They roared through the mountains and forests, attacked the officers and soldiers' official rations, and as soon as they encountered the encirclement and suppression of the large army sent by the government, they returned to the mountains without a trace, leaving the government helpless.

When they also plundered the people, but never hurt anyone, so they had a good reputation among the people. Many people who can't survive will be defected to him.

"Hey, even if we don't kill the Yuan soldiers, we won't be able to live anymore, and we have long planned to take refuge in Ma Baoshan. Now that we have killed the Yuan soldiers, it is exactly what we want. Hu Qingniu said.

"You go up the mountain with me. Hu Shanshan said: "You have a broken leg, and it is not easy to move at will." I'll be able to take care of you after you go up the mountain. When you're well, you can go wherever you want. "

"Well, that's all there is to it. Looking at his accidentally injured calf, Fang Yu wanted to cry without tears.

"By the way, what are you going to do with those Yuan soldiers' corpses?" Fang Yu asked.

"The leather armor and knife should be used as a vote for Ma Baoshan, and as for the corpse of the dog Yuanren, they will be thrown at the village chief's house and let the wild dogs eat as they please!" Hu Shanshan gritted her teeth and said.

At this time, a woman suddenly ran in outside the door, with horror on her face: "Uncle Hu, Uncle Hu!"

"What's wrong? "

"Outside, there is another group of Yuan soldiers outside! I saw from a distance, there are more than fifty people!" Xiao Song said hurriedly while panting.

"What!" Hu Qingniu had a shocked look on his face.

There were more than 20 corpses of Yuan people piled up in the village, and there were only less than 50 old, weak, sick and disabled people left in their own house. If the corpses of the Yuan soldiers in the courtyard were discovered by this group of Yuan soldiers, then they would definitely be killed by all the Yuan people.

"Fight with them!" Zhu Chongba said on the side: "You don't lose money by killing one, you earn by killing two!"

"Shanshan, you go to Ma Baoshan immediately, and you must ask him to come and save us!" Hu Qingniu commanded.

"Is Ma Baoshan very close to us?" Fang Yu asked curiously.

"It's not close, it takes four or five hours to go back and forth. Hu Qingniu said.

"This~" Fang Yu was a little speechless. This time and again, I guess I will die several times.

"I have already sent my third brother to Ma Baoshan. If Ma Baoshan is willing to accept us and my third brother together, then it is estimated that Shanshan can meet them on the way. The situation is good for half an hour, and Ma Baoshan will be able to come over. Hu Qingniu explained.

"What about this half an hour?" asked Zhu Chongba.

"It's up to us to drag the Yuan soldiers and let them not come in!" Hu Qingniu said.

"Shanshan, what are you doing here! Go!" Seeing that Hu Shanshan was still sitting on the edge of the bed, Hu Qingniu said a little angrily.

Hu Shanshan, under the urging of Hu Qingniu, slipped out of the back of the village with a reluctant face.

"Uncle Hu, let the women of the village hide in the cellar. Fang Yu said.

"Okay! I'll call someone right away!" Hu Qingniu got up and prepared to go outside to call someone.

"Let Juhachi also go over and help. Fang Yu said again.

"No, I'm not going! I'm going to follow you, big brother!" Zhu Chongba said immediately. He knew that Fang Yu asked him to come over to help, just so that he could also hide in the cellar and have a chance of life.

And Hu Qingniu asked Hu Shanshan to find Ma Baoshan in the hope that Hu Shanshan could save her life.

"Obedient! The green mountains left behind, don't be afraid of running out of firewood!" Fang Yu looked at Zhu Chongba and said.

"No! A manly man, how can he survive in secret! I'd rather charge and die in the face of the enemy than be slaughtered by the enemy like a pig and dog!" Zhu Chongba looked at Fang Yu and said firmly.

Seeing the resolute look on Zhu Chongba's face, Fang Yu had to sigh: "Okay, then you can stay by my side!"

After a while, Hu Qingniu walked in again.

"It's been arranged, the Yuan soldiers still have a mile to go to the entrance of the village, let's go meet them. Hu Qingniu said to Fang Yu.

"Then go and greet, greet!" Fang Yu said to Hu Qingniu with a smile, without any fear or fear on his face.
