Dominate the Country

ps: The 3600th collection, and the first morning after the title was changed, I will add more.

The news of the victory in Yancheng finally came, and the hearts of the people in Lushan immediately stabilized, and the morale soared again.

When Chen Ming led the large army and the long dragon-like carriages and ships along the Shahe River to Ruzhou and Zhaoping Lake, the whole Lushan County was in an uproar.

The food and supplies brought back by the Chen family army from Yancheng and Zhoujiakou were really piled up like a mountain, and the ships filled up the four large and small docks around Zhaoping Lake.

But at the same time, the news that some of the Chen family army had cut their braids also blew like a gust of wind to every corner of Lushan, Baofeng and other counties. As the leader of cutting braids, Chen Ming's newly painted halo was still shining, which gave the people under the rule of the Chen family army a more fierce impact.

Neither the Seventh Duke nor the Ninth Duke appeared at the welcome party in Lushan County. The image of Chen Ming with short hair made the two old men feel upset. In addition, Chen Erbao, Chen Min, Chen Wenzan, etc. also had their hair braided. The matter is done and there is no way to reverse it. Chen Ming's move of forcing the emperor to abdicate left the two conservative pillars of the Chen family no longer able to argue.

They compromised, and had no choice but to compromise.

Just as Chen Hui and Chen Ming were taking care of the Seventh Duke and the Ninth Duke, the Seventh Duke and the Ninth Duke were also taking care of Chen Hui and Chen Ming.

Now that Chen Ming was the first to force the emperor to abdicate, the Seventh Duke and the Ninth Duke, who had no courage and no intention to turn against Chen Hui and Chen Ming, naturally withered.

…

"General Xinghan, General Fuhan..." Chen Hui stroked the beard on his chin.

"Dad, we have defeated the Green Camp soldiers of two towns. Beijing will never let us go. The next time Emperor Qianlong sends troops, it will not be a small fight like one or two towns. Whether we rebel or not, whether we raise the banner of "anti-Qing and restoration of Han" or not, there is no substantial difference. So why should we be depressed?"

In Chen Hui's eyes, the big banner of "anti-Qing and restoration of Han" has both good and bad sides. To raise this big banner does not necessarily have to be equated with the subsequent raising of the banner and establishment of the Chen family army. Chen Ming, the cheap father, is not an angry young man. He does not have the strong national sentiment in Chen Ming's heart. But Chen Ming dreams of raising the big banner of "anti-Qing and restoration of Han". This is the thought in his heart after he traveled through time. Since the uprising, it has gradually evolved into an obsession.

Chen Hui sighed softly as he watched Chen Ming leave excitedly. He was surprised that his son had such a strong aversion and disgust for the court. Although his son is still young, his thoughts are really deep. Even as a father, if Chen Ming hadn't mentioned "anti-Qing and restoration of Han" in front of him again and again, Chen Hui would not have realized it with his firm attitude.

Leaning closer to the chair, Chen Hui looked at the beams. Two years ago, he was just a small official. Although he had great ability and was well-known in the entire Lushan County, he never dared to imagine the power he had today? With just one word, he could shake most of Ruzhou and a small part of Xuzhou and Nanyang Prefecture. Sitting on the land of eight counties, he would become the general of restoration of Han in two days, holding high the banner of "anti-Qing and restoration of Han". I'm afraid that the old emperor in the Golden Palace would also hear his name.

Thinking of this, Chen Hui's deep fear disappeared. He thought about Emperor Qianlong blurting out his name, and how he was furious because of him, scolding all the big figures in Henan who were out of reach in the past. Chen Hui was stunned for a while.

The news that Chen Hui was going to raise an anti-Qing army, formally establish a system, and add the title of General Fu Han spread quickly in all directions two days later.

Although the four words "anti-Qing and restore Ming" appear frequently in martial arts novels, it seems that there has never been a break from resistance since the Qing Dynasty, but that is all false. Even in Guangdong and Guangxi, how many people still remember "Zhu Ming" or "Zheng Ming"?

Moreover, the banner raised by the Chen family is "anti-Qing and restore Han", directly abandoning the cover of "Zhu Ming", and telling the world clearly that I am going to conquer the world for myself.

The first to bear the brunt of this impact was Ruzhou City. Wang Jun and Hu Rulin were paralyzed after hearing the news. The news that Chen Ming had his braids twisted a few days ago had just hit the two of them hard. Before they could recover and figure out how to write a memorial to the emperor, the Chen family gave up their promising career as mountain tyrants and gangsters, and officially raised their anti-Qing and anti-Han campaigns. The two of them were disheartened and felt that the world was dark and there was nothing to love in this life.

Once the banner of "anti-Qing and anti-Han" was raised, the emperor would definitely ask about this matter strictly. Not only would they have to play with themselves, but they were afraid that even the family behind them would suffer.

Especially Wang Jun, as the prefect of Ruzhou, the Chen family "grew up" step by step under his nose. His guilt and responsibility were simply irrefutable.

It was late at night, but the study was still dark. Wang Jun had been sitting in the study for two hours.

In the dead of night, the study of the prefect's office finally opened a crack, and the long-serving servant who had been waiting outside the door was called into the study by Wang Jun. After just a moment, Wang Jun's long-serving servant left in a hurry.

…

Chen Hui was the general of the Fu Han General's Mansion, and Chen Ming was the military governor. Then Chen Ming pulled Chen Gang and his second uncle Chen Cong from several official positions in the Han, Tang, Song and Ming dynasties, and took one from this one, and two from that one, and sorted out many official positions, all of which were used to arrange the core elders of the Chen family. For example, the Seventh Duke and the Ninth Duke, the Left and Right Military Advisors and Generals, were all given to them. Chen Gang himself also took the title of Jijiu. Whether he was willing or not, he was nominally the first person in the academic world of the Chen family army. Although the specific matters still depended on people like Liu Wen.

Chen Cong, Chen Min, Chen Quan and a large number of core figures of the Chen family, all took official positions. Chen Erbao was also the deputy governor under the General's Mansion. It can be said that this matter was done in the style of a mountain king.

If Chen Hui's title was changed to emperor and Chen Ming's official title was changed to general, then the whole court would be a court. Isn't it very similar to those grass-roots kings in history who started a war yesterday, proclaimed themselves emperor today, and fell tomorrow?

No matter whether this is a trick or a monkey in a human costume, it is ridiculous, but it can indeed boost the morale of the Chen family army, and that is enough.

Chen Ming is working on the division of the new recruit camp. Because of the implementation of the military merit land policy and the double halo buff of the Chen family army's victory in Yancheng, the number of people who have come from the mountains to join the army has greatly increased in recent days. Many poor tenants and some half-grown boys in the plains have also come to join the army. They don't want the military merit land. The resettlement fee after joining the army is not a small amount of money. For many poor tenants, that silver may be a number that they can't save in their lifetime.

Therefore, the scale of the new recruit camp has expanded rapidly. Chen Ming is ready to divide the new recruit camp and completely erase the color of the new recruit camp. It will only serve as a training base. Moreover, those half-grown children who come to join the army can be boy scouts. It is necessary to set up a boy camp in the new recruit camp.
