Chapter 74: Kong Er, Let's Rebel Too(1/2)
Chapter 74 Kong Er, let’s rebel too
Chapter 073
Sun Yuanhua has more than 6,500 Western-style firearms troops under his command. Even if Chen Guodong is made of iron, he can be beaten into a sieve in front of the firecrackers. Sun Yuanhua has the power to mobilize tens of thousands of troops, and he can set up traps at will, or use human sea tactics
, no matter how fierce Chen Guodong is, he will not be able to fly out of Dengzhou City.
I have never heard that a governor can run away if he wants to deal with someone. This in itself is the biggest loophole.
Don’t Song Xiance understand?
He actually understood, but he was pretending to be confused.
Some people really don't understand, such as Chang Yu. He is young and rose to his current position suddenly. He has never experienced a struggle at this level.
If Sun Yuanhua was really dissatisfied with Cheng Shijie, he would first beat Cheng Shijie up, kill him, and then train a new person. The cost would be greater than pulling Cheng Shijie back from the wrong path.
Shen Mingyu may not understand, but Zhou Yandong definitely understands.
If Cheng Shijie hadn't been in the government for many years, he wouldn't have been able to immediately understand the twists and turns involved.
When people make choices, they consider gains and losses. When dealing with a certain matter, the first thing to consider is the price and cost.
Song Xiance knelt down in front of Cheng Shijie.
"There is a sin under the sect."
"You are guilty, guilty..."
However, Song Xiance actually had merit. If the mutiny had not occurred and Cheng Shijie was unprepared this time and accidentally arrived at the end of the Ming Dynasty by touching the wrong door, then he might have had an accident.
Compared with the trouble Song Xiance brought to Cheng Shijie, his contribution to saving lives was greater. The world is huge, why is Cheng Shijie's own life so great?
Cheng Shijie did not have Song Xiance, so that he would know what to do and what not to do in the future.
His sharp eyes swept through the crowd. He found that Chen Guodong was not there, and asked doubtfully: "Where is Chen Guodong?"
Song Xiance said: "Reporting to my lord, at that time we found out that it was the Zhang family of Laiyang who did it, but we could not find the lord. In order to prevent the Zhang family of Laiyang from jumping over the wall in a hurry, we sent an army to Laiyang!"
"How many people went?"
"Chen Guodong brought Cheng Shi's former boss, a total of more than a thousand people."
"A thousand people?"
Cheng Shijie felt like he was sitting on the crater of a volcano that was about to erupt. Ning Haijun, including the navy and new soldiers, only had more than 4,800 people. This small number of troops, placed in Dengzhou City, would not even be able to stand on the city wall.
However, they still dared to divide their troops.
"Your courage...is really..."
Cheng Shijie was almost speechless with anger.
Chen Guodong dared to go to the Laiyang Zhang family's lair with a thousand recruits. Chen Guodong was really ignorant and fearless. In Cheng Shijie's opinion, the powerful men and gentry in the late Ming Dynasty were all local emperors.
They monopolized the land and tied the people to the land. Farmers in this period were not like later generations, who could work even if the crops failed.
To be fair, in the future, as long as you have hands and feet and are not lazy or slippery, you can't earn ten or twenty thousand yuan, but you can't earn three or four thousand yuan. Even if you serve dishes and clean in a restaurant, you can still earn two to three thousand yuan a month.
Meeting food and clothing should not be a problem.
However, the people of the Ming Dynasty had no way out. They could only accept the exploitation of the landlords and gentry, otherwise they would not be able to survive. Therefore, the tenants were the slaves of the landlords. They did whatever they were asked to do, otherwise the land would not be rented to them.
, they can only starve to death.
Under the threat of death, many people can only compromise.
The Zhang family in Laiyang is fighting locally, and Chen Guodong leads more than a thousand new recruits from the Ning Navy. I am afraid that the situation is more likely to be in danger than bad.
Looking at Cheng Shijie's unkind expression,
Shen Mingyu said cautiously: "We asked Zhou Xieshou to mobilize our military households in Ning Haijun and come to Dengzhou City to reorganize forty hundred households, leaving more than twenty hundred households in Ning Haijun to guard their hometowns. These military households
Each household is given five measures of food every day.”
"You're not that stupid yet!"
Cheng Shijie thought to himself, this is simply the mercenary model.
In fact, this is exactly what happened. A few cobblers from Ning Haijun not only mobilized military households, but also used the captured money and grain to hire the infantry and navy of the Dongjiang Army. Finally, Sun Yuanhua's direct descendants, more than 6,500 Denglai
The New Army watched closely, and in three days, the more than 6,500 soldiers of the Denglai New Army did not dare to cause trouble.
Shen Mingyu continued: "Even if Lord Guard cannot be the governor, then we will occupy Dengzhou City and rebel against his mother's court!"
"Now we have occupied Dengzhou City and stabilized the situation, but..."
Cheng Shijie looked at the generals with sharp eyes and said, "We can't do this!"
"Why?"
Cheng Shijie raised his hands to the generals and said: "Cheng now knows that the brothers risked all their lives for Cheng. After more than three days of hard work and bloody fighting, they rescued Cheng. Cheng is very grateful."
Brothers, thank you for your high righteousness, and for looking up to me, Cheng Shijie, for being willing to risk everything in the world for Cheng. I also know the truest thoughts of my brothers, and you are counting on me to stand up."
"yes!"
"It is true that I can take over the governor's territory and army and control the military and political affairs of the three states of Denglai and Qing Dynasty. If you follow me, Cheng, you can all be promoted and make a fortune... But it's still not possible now."
Shen Mingyu said: "I don't understand my humble position!"
"First of all, grace!"
Cheng Shijie said: "Cheng, like everyone else, does not have a prominent background. His parents are ordinary people. When he came to Dengzhou City, he followed Governor Sun's path and bought an official position in Zuo Qianhu Office. Thanks to the blessings of his brothers,
, we successfully defeated the tough bandit Qin Wu and Qin Wu, and Cheng got into the eyes of Master Futai. He asked the court to set up Ning Haijun, and Cheng became a guard of Ning Haijun.
If Cheng takes over Dengzhou and seizes Master Futai's territory and army, then who is Cheng? He is a wolf-hearted person who repays kindness with revenge... Is I, Cheng, such a person?"
"no!"
No one wants to follow a ruthless boss. Ordinarily, after this change, whether Zhang Yu or Shen Mingyu, including Liu Qingsong, Zhou Ning, and Zhou Yandong, who screamed the most fiercely, who has no selfish motives?
week
hat.
This shows that he did not stick to his reasons and positions, nor did he take responsibility.
Zhou Ning, Liu Qingsong and other young people all want to take advantage of the opportunity to get promoted and make a fortune. Changyu is their role model. Why can Changyu be the boss, but they can only be the 100th boss?
"The second point is the most critical point. We don't yet have the strength to separate ourselves and dominate one side!"
Cheng Shijie looked at the officers and said: "We are just taking advantage of the tiger's nap to hit the tiger with a stick and knock it unconscious. The tiger has disappeared and has not spread. Once the tiger disappears and spreads, we will be in big trouble!"
"It's just their group of soft-legged shrimps and cowards... we, Ning Haijun, are not afraid of them!"
Liu Qingsong said with some pride: "The humble officer led fifty people and rushed into the camp. More than a thousand of them surrendered. They are cowards who have no idea..."
"If you really think this way, you are really not far from death!"
Cheng Shijie said: "You may think that the imperial court is far away and has no time to deal with us. However, everyone must not forget that the imperial court occupies the name of righteousness. As long as there is an imperial edict and a military order, the world's soldiers and horses will be at least two of us in Shandong."
An army of more than 100,000 people will rush towards us. Not to mention anything else, the Dongjiang Army in Dengzhou is very capable of fighting. The Dongjiang Army followed the Jian slaves for more than ten years without food and pay. How many people are there in Dengzhou now?
Dongjiang Army? Kong Youde, Li Jiucheng, Li Yingyuan...their two thousand cavalry are charging towards us, can we stop them?"
The generals fell silent immediately.
Cheng Shijie continued: "The third and most important point is that Mr. Futai has not sorry for me, Mr. Cheng, nor for all of us. We can't do this. What's more important is that the imperial court is now at war with the Jiannu in Liaodong.
, If we are rebelling now, we have become accomplices of the slave establishment. This matter will be stabbed in the spine. Even if we go down below in the future, we will be ashamed of our ancestors."
Cheng Shijie's words were very serious, and now everyone understands that their biggest mistake this time was making a big mistake, which not only destroyed the relationship between Cheng Shijie and Sun Yuanhua, but also forced Ning Haijun into a dilemma.
Shen Mingyu bowed and said: "Master Guard, I was wrong. It was me who made a mistake, Master Guard, and I also made a mistake with my brothers. This matter was started by Beizi. Beizi was willing to apologize to Master Futai. Lord Guard beheaded Beizi.
, Even if I die in a humble position, I will have no regrets..."
"What's the crime?"
Cheng Shijie glared at Shen Mingyu and said: "Get up, I'm not dead yet, and it's not your turn to take responsibility. Brothers killed the enemy with their blood and made contributions, and Cheng got the glory. Now that the brothers are in trouble, how can Cheng
Stay out of it!”
Zhang Yu pretended to kneel down.
Cheng Shijie's voice raised an octave: "We haven't understood the meaning of this defense yet. You are concerned about the safety of this defense. Although you are a little reckless, you are not guilty. But there is one thing you did wrong!"
"wrong?"
"wrong!"
"This defense wants to help you get promoted, make a fortune, and live a good life. Just relying on some small tricks and tricks is not enough. Forging iron requires you to be hard-working. If our strength is truly strong, we can live a better life.
Good days.”
Cheng Shijie said: "If you believe me, I will take you down. Of course, this is an extremely dangerous road, and it is also an extremely difficult road. On this road, murderous intentions are everywhere and thorns are everywhere. If you want to go there, you can't go there."
It's impossible to do it easily without bleeding or sweating... Those brothers who want to gain wealth easily cannot take this road, and they can't go through it. Only those who have given up all their delusions of glory and wealth.
It is possible to pass this way. As veterans, you should know that it is right to treat yourself as a dead person when you go to the battlefield. The less afraid of death, the less likely you will die."
"I am willing to be loyal to Lord Guard!"
"I will be loyal to the Lord Guard!"
"You all go back now and take care of your own affairs. Whoever has a problem will be dealt with by this defense!"
Cheng Shijie said: "It's almost time now. It's time for Mr. Futai to calm down. I'll go talk to him!"
Cheng Shijie walked outside the lobby. He felt a cold feeling on his face. He raised his head: "It's raining, it's actually raining!"
The climate of the Jiaodong Peninsula is very stable and mild. There is no severe heat in summer and no severe cold in winter. The frost-free period is between 165 and 250 days throughout the year. In addition, the terrain is flat and the land is fertile, so crops can be grown all year round.
Two years old, it's like heaven.
But this year's climate is abnormal. In September, we encountered a heavy snow unexpectedly, and then it snowed one after another. Now it actually rained when it was supposed to snow.
