Section 28 The Allies (Part 1)
The gentry's power is very powerful, especially because they control the judicial power of townships outside Sichuan. This is actually a very terrifying force. They are the craftsmen and defenders of order. If the imperial examination is not available, the imperial power will definitely not be able to trample on the feudal power of the gentry in this way. Now Deng Ming has tinkered with the House of Gentlemen. If the imperial examination fails, the wealthy power of the Han Dynasty will reappear. The combat power of this force is much stronger than that of the barbarian nations. However, Deng Ming secretly prepared a set of combined punches to deal with it. The advantage of aliens is that everything is ready-made; but now the gentry's House of Gentlemen is still a baby, and if it is just a mess, it may be killed on the spot if it passes through a mess, so he has not taken it out for the time being.
With Deng Ming's support and the cooperation of Gao Yunxuan's troops, the Gentlemen's House easily completed the reorganization of the army and eliminated the tasks they felt dangerous from the Rebel army. In order to ensure that the army they paid for would not backfire, the Gentlemen also sent some tribe members to join the army, most of which were scholars and several scholars.
"A good iron does not make nails, and a good man does not join the army." Deng Ming felt more satisfied after seeing some intellectuals joining the army. He spent some time to reorganize the army under the city of Weixian, which was worth the money. Intellectuals can make the army more capable of learning and easier to obey orders, which is also the reason why Deng Ming spared no expense to promote cultural courses in the Sichuan Army. Moreover, compared with the Green Camp where officers are generally illiterate, such an army is more susceptible to nationalism: although these Shandong gentry are still very afraid of the Qing court, compared with the Green Camp officers who are most likely unable to distinguish "Lu and Fish", the distinction between Chinese and foreigners can undoubtedly make young scholars feel more painful in their hearts.
The gentry did not want to break with the Qing court, and Deng Ming did not force them to do so. Therefore, Deng Ming even suggested that they change the name of the rebels around Weixian instead of using a simple name as "rebels". It not only sounds like a strait troupe, but also full of the smell of rebels.
"How about supporting the Qing Dynasty and destroying the Ming army?" Deng Ming's mind was filled with a word. The movement in his previous life was also from Shandong. After a little modification, Deng Ming took it out and discussed it with the Gentleman House, Gao Yunxuan, Xing Zhisheng and others.
No one followed suit. Although Deng Ming broadened everyone's horizons again and again, this time many people's proposal was too horrifying even if Deng Ming's integrity was used.
"I don't mind at all. A gentleman is the most important thing. Will such a name help you accept the invitation?" Deng Ming tried hard to dispel everyone's concerns. He felt that his idea was very good. After "Supporting the Qing Dynasty and destroying the Ming army" blurted out, Deng Ming found that he suddenly fell in love with the deep cold humor in the name.
"Don't the Duke really want us to accept the amnesty?" Gao Yunxuan couldn't help asking. After his trip to Yangzhou, he thought he would never be surprised by anything, but he found that he was very wrong again and again.
"Of course, isn't your master just trying to recruit you?" Deng Ming asked in surprise, and he pointed to the gentry around him again: "Your bosses want to recruit you too, so of course you have to accept your recruitment. However, I always think that your master's approach is wrong. The ancients knew that the 'killing and setting fire'. You can't even kill a county town. Why did the Qing court recruit you? You cried and shouted and asked the Qing court to pay attention to it. If you could even defeat Beijing, it would be the Qing court's turn to cry and call you to recruit you, and they would also present the Governor and Governor's official position with both hands."
When hearing the position of the governor and the governor, several gentry involuntarily showed their yearning in their eyes. Deng Ming ignored it and continued to inspire: "The key is to be hard on the knife! In this way, others have to listen to you carefully. Don't worry, as long as you pay, I guarantee a steady stream of instructors and weapons and equipment."
Now Deng Ming has basically removed himself from the chaos in Shandong. If Deng Ming intervened, no matter how good he did, it would be that other provinces would intervene in Shandong. Even if they stood up for the gentry and made things difficult for the thieves in the Yangtze River, there would probably be many Shandong people in the hometown to say that they were not. As long as there was a looting, no matter whether it was impersonation or Deng Ming's direct descendants, Shandong people would probably count the debt on his head. But now it is completely different. Whether it is the gentry killing the thieves or the thieves robbing the Zhuangzi, it has nothing to do with Deng Ming, and it is the family affairs of their Shandong people. Considering the gentry's public opinion advantages, Deng Ming, who helped the gentry recruit troops and provided weapons and training, would definitely become "old friend of the Shandong people."
Now the gentry and knights are indeed worried that the "old friends" will be sad. Gao Yunxuan shouted: "The country is righteous and righteous, and he personally brought troops to Shandong to rescue our troops. As long as the Duke's words are said, we will rush to the end with the Tartars."
"I won't say such things. Whether to accept the enrollment is decided by your sect and the House of Commons. I won't use Shandong people as a shield." Deng said sternly: "Yes, you all know that I came to Shandong to help our army gain an advantage in Jiangnan, but I won't force it. As long as most Shandong people think that cooperation with me will bring disaster to Shandong, we should get together and break up."
Everyone present was moved and expressed their feelings. Deng Ming further explained: "As for helping the Qing Dynasty and destroying the Ming army to buy arms from me, it is not a win-win situation. You get security, and I get friendship. The name doesn't matter. For the Qing court, this is also a step for them. All the bosses can say that they are blocked by treacherous ministers, such as the governor of Shandong or the villain around him, so that their sincere desire to serve the country cannot reach the heavens' listening. Of course, the Qing court will not believe it, but when they are unable to suppress you, this is their fig leaf."
"What the Duke of the Kingdom said is very true," another gentry raised a new question: "But the army of supporting the Qing Dynasty and destroying the Ming Dynasty was established with the help of the Duke of the Kingdom. How should we explain this?"
"I think the Qing court will probably help you explain, but Youdao is a good person to do it to the end, so I will help you with this." Deng Ming snapped his fingers and thought it was easy: "This is called 'the commander of the enemy to defeat the enemy'. Helping the Qing Dynasty to destroy the Ming army learn from the Ming army in order to better attack the Ming army."
