Have you ever seen a scene of thousands of people in chaos?

Have you ever seen thousands of people pulling each other and rushing forward, pushing and shoving, taking off their shoes and hats, adults shouting at children and crying, and roaring everywhere?

On the afternoon of May 19, the seventh year of Jingyao in Shu Han, Zhang Zhi saw it with his own eyes.

The specific situation is like this. After some urgency, at noon on May 19th, Zhang Zhi led the main civil and military officials of Wulian County out of the city. According to the original plan, a simple oath ceremony was held on the school ground outside the Nanmen City, and the news that Huo Yi, a traitor of Shu Han, had led the seven counties of Nanzhong to surrender to the Wei State. Then there was a manifesto written by Cao Cao in the middle of Wulian. He announced in public that the revival of the country and the reconstruction of Shu Han.

This oath ceremony was not only so simple, but there were only about a thousand people visiting Wulian. Cao Mosheng, who was in charge of the market, spent all his efforts and finally encouraged about half of the people in Wulian to go out to visit the city. After hearing the news in the nearby villages, there were only four or five hundred people visiting, and most of them were the elderly, weak, women and children. Most of the strong Qingjian, who truly met the recruitment standards, continued to work in the farmland, and had no interest or time to participate in the ceremony.

Wu Lianshi, who was in charge of education, also embarked on Zhang Zhi. The manifesto he wrote was neither very literary nor decent. After Zhang Zhi finished reading the manifesto on the ground platform of the school, only Wu Lian's civil and military officials and some soldiers applauded and shouted, and swore loudly to follow Zhang Zhi to revive the country. However, the people watching the fun on the school were almost silent. They were unwilling to cheer, and they did not rush to run to the recruiting station next to the school to enlist in the army. Their emotions were so numb that they worried Zhang Zhi.

Not only that, some rogues whistled in public, and gloatingly mocked Zhang Zhi and Wu Lian's civil and military ignorant life and death. They actually wanted to use Wu Lian's power as a remote small county to be an enemy of the entire seven counties in the south, and then to become enemies of Cao Wei, who had already won two and a half of the world.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Zhi, who was already in a state of confusion, was naturally a little guilty. Fortunately, Zhang Zhi also had a golden finger in his hand called instant noodles. After loudly encouraging the people of Wulian to join the army, Zhang Zhi loudly announced that in order to thank the people of Wulian for their support for Wulian County Temple and himself, each of the military and civilians who visited had eaten a bowl of instant noodles.

Even at this time, there were still few voices on the school grounds. The people present were just whispering and asking each other about what instant noodles were called, without any cheers and excitement. The morale of the people was still terrifyingly sluggish.

The beginning of the chaos came from the presence of Wu Lian soldiers first receiving instant noodles. When a spoonful of boiling water rushed into the noodle bowl in Wu Lian soldiers' hands, the unique and rich chemical spice fragrance spread on the school ground. Not only did the Wu Lian people present start to have chaos, but even the Wu Lian soldiers who had not received boiling water began to move around and rushed to leave their posts. They wanted to get boiling water first, forcing Zhao Quan, who was responsible for maintaining order on the scene, could only order them to use a whip and stick to order the soldiers to resume their queues and receive boiling water and eat noodles in turn.

The complete chaos began with the people of Wu Lian queuing for noodles. When they saw Wu Lian chewing noodles like a hungry ghost reincarnated, they couldn't bear to waste the noodles soup and licked the noodles bowl cleanly. They smelled the instant noodles that filled the scene. When Mo Sheng, who was hosting the rally, asked the people present to line up to take the noodles, the crowd of people who had already been disturbed and naturally became boiling immediately.

"His father, hold the child, come and get the face!"

"Dad, Dad, hurry, hurry, it's gone if it's too late."

"Jia'er, Jia'er, run slowly, be careful not to fall, wait for mother!"

"Quick, hurry, give it to me first, give it to me first!"

The boiling crowd was like a tide, almost instantly surrounding the head of the school field. You pushed and shook and fell down. The adults shouted at the children and cried the old man. The rogues who whistled and booed before were like tigers down the mountain. They rushed to the head of the head first. They rushed too fast and rushed over a big pot that was boiling water on the fire, burning several people and the servants in Wulian County Temple. During this period, some people even took action to grab noodles and bowls, and the scene was instantly out of control.

Fortunately, thanks to Wulian County Temple who had considered this situation in advance, arranged a large number of officers and a county soldiers in a garrison to maintain order. The officers and county soldiers worked together, forced the people to queue up with whips and wooden sticks, and hit the rogue who was grabbing noodles. It took a lot of effort to finally get the people to line up and receive noodles in turn.

It was also at this time that Zhang Zhicai saw with his own eyes that junk food was convenient for the great lethality of ordinary people in this era. He held the noodle bowl and ate instant noodles made of fine white noodles. Wu Lian people, who have been staple with coarse grains and vegetable porridge for generations, had no one but had a messy face, and no one was yelling. Many people even cried on the spot, while crying, while holding the snot tears and noodle soup into their mouths.

"Taste! So delicious! Why are there such delicious things in this world?" This is the common cry of many people.

"There is so much salt. In my life, I only count the most salt I eat in this meal!" This is the common feeling of many people.

There is no need to wash dishes. No one Wulian people licked the noodle bowl and chopsticks just like washing them with clean water several times. Later generations did not think they were dirty. They took the bowls and chopsticks covered with saliva, and without hesitation, they put the noodle cake and seasonings in the bowl, rinsed them with boiling water and swallowed them. Naturally, no one let the noodle cake soak for three minutes during this period.

Not only that, after eating a bowl of noodles, many people nodded and begged in front of the noodle officer, hoping to have another bowl of mercy. The soldiers of Wulian County were the same. None of them did not want to eat another pack of instant noodles. Zhang Zhi also came forward at the right time and announced on the stage that in order to reward Wulian County soldiers to support his resumption of the country, he decided to give each Wulian County soldier a reward of five packs of instant noodles. He also guaranteed that each Wulian soldier could eat at least two packs of instant noodles every day in the future, which would immediately bring the unison cheers and morale of Wulian soldiers.

Then, Zhang Zhi personally announced that the people of Wu Lian had told the people that from now on, as long as they were recruits who joined the Wu Lian Han army, each of them would first receive five packs of instant noodles for settlement, and they would also ensure that they could eat at least two packs of instant noodles every day. As a result, before they finished speaking, countless people of Wu Lian rushed to the conscription office and shouted and demanded to join the Wu Lian army.

More than just men over 16 and under 50 years old who volunteered to join the army, many old men with white hair and crutches and children less than five feet tall rushed to the recruitment site to request enlistment. Many women even volunteered to express their hopes to join the Wulian army.

Not to mention exaggeration, if you have not experienced poor days or lived a life of relying on coarse grains to satisfy your hunger every year, you would not know that the real deliciousness of instant noodles is the cheapest and low-end product with only a pack of powder seasonings in the packaging bag, and it is also supreme delicacy in front of the real poor.

Seeing this, Zhang Zhi, who had been worried about recruiting dissatisfied with the recruitment of soldiers, was of course relieved. Then he was greedy and quickly went to several recruitment sites on the scene to let Wujian officials in charge of recruitment keep the checkpoints. He must not just fill in the gaps and recruit old and weak soldiers who do not meet the age requirements.

It was still at this time that Zhang Zhicai smiled and began to talk to Wu Lian's civil and military officials next to him, discussing how to establish a staffing and train soldiers as soon as possible, and how to arm new recruits. During the period, Wu Lianjin Cao, who was very smart, also made suggestions to Zhang Zhi, asking Zhang Zhi to take out some convenient ways to exchange weapons and pig iron for the people, and recruit craftsmen to forge weapons. Zhang Zhi also agreed immediately.

While discussing what price to purchase weapons and pig iron from the private sector, Zhang Jian, who had been named the captain of the personal soldiers, suddenly brought a servant to Zhang Zhi and said, "Young Master, we sent people who were contacted by Mojia Village in Mawei yesterday to contact the Mozhaizhu."

"How is it?" Zhang Zhi hurriedly asked the servant who delivered the letter: "What is the attitude of the leader of the village after reading our letter? Have you ever said when to come to the county town to meet me?"

"Reporting to the Ming court, the village leader Mo didn't say when he would come." The messenger sent the letter replied: "After reading the Ming court's letter, the village leader Mo said that he was too busy for a while and had no time to come to the county town to visit the Ming court. He also explained that if there was something big about the court, he could go to Mojia Village to meet him in person, and he would definitely hold a banquet to entertain him."

"Minggong, you must not go!" Fu Gong next to him quickly reminded: "Now you have to take charge of all major events in the county town, and you must not leave the county town casually."

All have officially announced the rebellion. Zhang Zhi would go to a village controlled by others unless he was stupid. He immediately nodded to express his approval. Cao Mafeng, the household next to him, suggested: "Ming Court, we have just started our army now and are in a hurry to need the support of Wulian local tribes. Why don't you ask Mo Ji Cao to go to Mawei personally and tell the details of the village leader Mo to see what his attitude is? Mo Ji Cao and Mo Village leader are relatives, so it should be easier to talk to."

Zhang Zhi subconsciously turned his head to look at the Ji Cao Mosheng next to him. Mosheng hesitated for a moment, then bowed and said, "Ming Court, if you think it is necessary, your subordinates are willing to go to Mawei and ask your brother in person for the Ming Court."

After saying that, Mo Sheng quickly added: "If you don't go there, Mawei is full of mountain roads, and the transportation is inconvenient, so your subordinates cannot take their families with you. When your subordinates leave the city, you also ask the Ming court and his colleagues to take care of their subordinates' wives and children."

"This guy is quite smart. He can actually take the initiative to leave the hostages. It seems that even if the Mo Sheng is really inserted into the county temple's eyeliner, his attitude is relatively neutral and he should be trusted appropriately."

Zhang Zhi came to the conclusion in his heart, but after careful consideration, Zhang Zhi shook his head and said, "I'm not busy for the time being. The most important thing for us now is to recruit troops and expand troops as soon as possible. Only with the army's backs can we be strong. We will put the support of the Mozhaimaster in advance. We will wait until we recruit the troops from the six villages to fill up."

Mo Sheng agreed, and after hesitating for a while, Mo Sheng, who knew his clan's nature, still spoke: "Ming Court, when Mawei goes to the county town, you must pass through Xiasi. Xiasi has the most Yang clan members. There are also a few members of Xiasi Yang family in our county temple. The subordinates suggest that the Ming court might as well find one or two out and let them go to Xiasi to persuade the same clan to join the army and take a look at the surrounding movements."

"By the way, take a look at the movements around?"

Obediently, Zhang Zhi raised his eyebrows and immediately understood the hint in Mo Sheng's words. He nodded immediately, then turned to Zhang Ju next to him and said, "Uncle Zhang, please let you do this matter. As soon as possible, find someone from the Yang family in Xiasi in the county temple, and then bring me to see me. I personally arrange for him to recruit soldiers in Xiasi."

When Zhang Ju immediately bowed his hand to agree, Mo Sheng also prayed in his heart: "Brother, don't do anything randomly. If you really do anything, I will be stuck in the middle and it will be difficult for me to be a human being."

Zhang Zhi was disappointed because the population base was too small. Although the Wu Lian people present joined the army in order to have a bowl of instant noodles sooner or later, after identification and selection, Wu Lian's army only recruited more than 200 new soldiers on the same day. Most of them were just meeting the recruitment requirements and did not have many strong and strong elite soldiers in their prime. Zhang Zhi had no choice but to form a garrison and hand it over to Fu Gong to lead the rest of the new recruits to Zhu Xiang and Zhao Quan to supplement the organization. At the same time, select suitable soldiers from Wu Lian's veterans and county temple servants, and establish his own personal soldiers.

In addition, Zhang Zhi was certainly forced to go to all villages and villages of Wulian, and appropriately took out some instant noodles and handed them to the three elders of each township to encourage men of appropriate age in the countryside to join the army. Then in the evening, Zhang Zhi personally arranged a Yang-sen from Xiasi to come forward and asked him to bring five boxes of instant noodles to his hometown of Xiasi. While mobilizing men of appropriate age in that area to join the army, he secretly closely monitored the Mawei Mo family, the most powerful clan power in Wulian County.

Another thing worth mentioning is that night, after finally finishing the business, Zhang Zhi was lying on the bed and preparing to go to bed, the system's voice suddenly rang out in Zhang Zhi's mind, saying: "According to the system rules: reissue 104 packs of host Huafeng Sanxian Yimian noodles, please check and receive it."

“Reissue 104 packs of instant noodles?”

Zhang Zhi was stunned and hurriedly opened the space warehouse to check. He saw that there was indeed a row of colorful words that reissue 104 packs of Huafeng Sanxian Yi Noodles. Zhang Zhi couldn't help but ask, "System, why did you want to reissue instant noodles?"

"Because the number of registered population under the host's rule increased by thirteen, it was reissued according to the aid rules." The system explained: "When the host recruited new recruits today, thirteen hidden populations from Wulian County signed up to join the army and were registered by the host's army. This situation is the increase in the population under the host's rule. Therefore, according to the rules, during the first thirty-nine days of free aid, this system will also issue eight packs of instant noodles to each of these newly added populations every day."

"In addition." The system added: "In view of the increase in the population of thirteen people under the host's rule, the number of antiques that the host can sell to this system has also increased by thirteen. Currently, the host can sell 3,855 antiques."

"There is also this good thing!" Zhang Zhi was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately made up his mind to dig out the hidden population in Wulian County as much as possible during the free aid period, get more free aid from the system, sell more antiques for instant noodles, and increase his own taxes and source of soldiers.

…………

The facts proved that Mo Sheng's hints and Zhang Zhi's arrangements were absolutely necessary. Just the next day, Mo Zhu, the patriarch of the Mo family and the largest landlord, had already received the news that Zhang Zhi led the Wu Lian County to revive the country. At the same time, the thirty packs of instant noodles given to the three elders of Mawei recruited by Wu Lian County Temple was also handed in front of Mo Zhu in a pack of thirty packs.

After confirming the news, he tasted the deliciousness of instant noodles with voracious taste. Mo Zhu just thought for a moment, and immediately ordered: "Hurry, invite He Zhong from the He family and Lu Ji from the Lu family, and say I have something big to discuss with them."

"Also, open the arsenal in the village and organize the weapons. In addition, collect vehicles. From now on, no car is allowed to leave the village, and all are left in the village for spare."

Mo Zhu soon found that he had no need to send someone to invite him. Before the evening, two other surnames, He Zhong, the head of the He family, and Lu Ji of the Lu family, had already come to visit Mojia Village. After hearing the news, Mo Zhu was very happy and hurriedly ordered people to prepare a banquet, and then went out of the village in person to invite He Lu and the other two into their homes to sit down.

They were all very familiar with each other. He Zhong and Lu Ji did not make any polite controversy with Mo Zhu. As soon as they settled down, Lu Ji said to Mo Zhu straight to the point: "Brother Mo, have you received the news about the matter in the city?"

"Received." Mo Zhu nodded and said, "Not only did I receive it, I have tried the instant noodles that Zhang Zhier brought to recruit soldiers in Mawei. It is indeed a delicious food in the world. If nothing unexpected happens, just use this instant noodles, Zhang Zhier will definitely be able to recruit many soldiers soon."

"I have tasted it too, it's really delicious." He Zhong said: "In order to eat more, the people under my command started fighting."

"You are generous and you are willing to share such delicious food with your subordinates." Mo Zhu smiled coldly and said, "I keep everything myself. I won't think I'll eat too much."

"Brother Mo, do you want to eat such delicious instant noodles every day?" Lu Ji asked gloomyly.

"Is this a question?" Mo Zhu sneered and said, "I'm going to tell you, I've just eaten the first bite of instant noodles, so I've decided to send someone to invite you to meet, just to discuss with you how to eat more instant noodles."

He Zhong and Lu Ji laughed together, and then He Zhong suddenly stopped laughing and said viciously: "Brother Mo, make your decision! As long as you dare to do it, I will be the first to support you with all my strength!"

"Yes, brother, the opportunity is rare, it's time to make up his mind!" Lu Ji also instigated: "Zhang Zhi, a son, dared to violate the orders of the county, refuse to surrender to Wei, and insisted on fighting the Han flag and reviving Han. The county will definitely not be spared! Brother, if you can seize the opportunity and take us to take down the county town before the county takes action, and also take down that child Zhang Zhi. Then in the future, the county will reward you with 99% of the county magistrate! "

"And the instant noodles in the city are all ours!" He Zhong added with a grin.

"You really want to support me?" Mo Zhu asked with a smile.

"Of course!" Lu Ji and He Zhong shouted: "You are our eldest brother and our relative. Who do we support you?"

"And," He Zhong added: "To be honest, I have already started to prepare before I come to see you. As long as you speak, I will bring people to help you immediately! Although our He family has not many people, four or five hundred people can still be pulled up."

"I should be able to afford four or five hundred people if I pull out all the Tian Nuwa in the village." Lu Ji also said: "It can also ensure that they have at least a knife or a spear in their hands."

"Thank you, two brothers." Mo Zhu bowed and thanked him, saying, "Since the two brothers respect me Mo Zhu so much, then I'm here! Mo Zhu also put his words here today. As long as we take down the city's city, the three of us will be divided equally by the head! In addition, if I really want me to be the county magistrate of Wu Lian, I promise not to treat you badly in the future!"

He Zhong and Lu Ji were overjoyed when they heard this, and quickly patted their chests and promised to fully support Mo Zhu in launching a rebellion and attack Wu Lian County. Then He Zhong suggested: "Brother Mo, should you contact the barbarian generals (tribe chiefs) of Wu Lian and ask them to dispatch barbarian soldiers to help us?"

"No, no."

Mo Zhu, who had read half of the book "The Art of War", immediately shook his head and said, "First of all, there were only two troops in Wulian City. Even if Zhang Zhier desperately recruited troops in the past two days, he would definitely not be able to recruit too many soldiers in a short period of time, and he would not have time to train them to arm the army. The troops in our three families are enough to deal with them."

"Secondly, most of the barbarians and heroes are not good things. Even if we promise to help us, we will definitely bargain. If we don't see enough benefits, we will definitely not agree to send troops. This will not only cause trouble, but also give Zhang Zhi's time to expand the army and prepare for war, allowing us to take down the county town even more. So we can only do it earlier, and we must not waste time."

"Brother Mo said very much." Lu Ji and He Zhong nodded together, and then asked, "Brother Mo, what should I do?"

"Since we all made up our minds and had the same idea, I won't leave you for dinner today." Mo Zhu replied: "Please go back overnight, and tomorrow we will gather people, distribute weapons, and prepare five days of food. Then we will gather in Mawei the day after tomorrow. After a full meal, we will immediately advance to the county town and kill him, Zhang Zhi's son, off guard!"

He Zhong and Lu Ji said yes together, and then He Zhong asked curiously: "Brother Mo, how many people can you send out?"

"Each of the two virtuous brothers can send out four or five hundred people. If I, the elder brother, don't pull up eight or nine hundred people to do it, what qualifications are there to be your elder brother?" Mo Zhu asked with a smile.

Lu He and the other two laughed together, gave Mo Zhu a thumbs up, and praised in unison: "Brother Mo is still powerful, and he actually hides so many people!"
Chapter completed!
