"In troubled times, storms are rising in all directions, and if you have soldiers, you will be the Grass-headed King..."
Chen Gong turned to look at Hu Zhili, and Hu Zhili also turned to look at him.
Their eyes met, and both of them saw endless shock and fear in each other's eyes.
Rebellion means not only beheading, but also genocide!
Regardless of whether they comply or not, the rebels will be sentenced to death and the nine tribes will be exterminated!
But, why does there seem to be a hot current flowing upwards in my heart...
"Of course we don't want to raise an army right now. If we raise an army now, we will be wiped out by the imperial court overnight. I came to Hanzhong just to make plans for what will happen next..."
Chen Wang stepped forward. He knew how terrifying and serious the impact his words had on Chen Gong and Hu Zhili.
But since he dared to say it, he already had an idea in mind.
"Rebellion is a serious crime, and rebels will be punished with death and will be exterminated."
"But since the first year of Chongzhen, you have seen who has been sentenced to death, and who has been annihilated from nine tribes..."
Chen Gong and Hu Zhili had not recovered from the shock, but they also heard Chen Wang's question.
The expressions of the two people changed slightly, and their eyes changed several times, but there were no words.
Chen Wang's question really made them think.
The large-scale civil uprising in Shaanxi began in the first year of Chongzhen. Until now, rogue bandits have poisoned most of the world.
Over the past eight years, there have been many rogue bandit leaders who surrendered.
There are Gao Jie nearby, Zhang Liwei and Wang Guozhong far away, and the guerrilla Sun Shoufa who often follows Hong Chengchou's tent is also a rogue.
Gao Jie is now the camp officer, while Zhang Liwei and Wang Guozhong, who killed Wang Jiayin, are now deputy commander-in-chief.
It is not wrong to say that the one who has soldiers is the Caotou King.
The chips offered by the imperial court are not low, and they are often guerrillas and generals.
But as long as you have some fame and have soldiers under your command, it is just an ordinary thing to teach a thousand generals.
To be honest, such a move also chilled the generals of the Ming Army.
He spent half his life in the army, risking his own life and forgetting his own life. Everything he gained from fighting on the battlefield was easily stolen by those wantonly destructive bandits.
Take Zhao Huailiang as an example. He relied on his military exploits and spent more than ten years, walking on thin ice, only to reach the military position of General.
As for the surrendered bandit leaders, they could easily obtain military positions that ordinary generals could not achieve.
"If you want to be an official, you will be punished if you kill people and set fires!"
This sentence is the most true portrayal today.
It is precisely because of this that all the Ming army generals have a hostile attitude towards the surrendering bandits.
Anyone who does not cause obstacles in the official battle arena is already regarded as a good person. As for any assistance and coordination, it is basically nonsense.
The reason why Hong Chengchou was relieved to make Gao Jie his direct subordinate was for this reason. The bandit leaders who surrendered had no roots and no factions. They had to stand with him if they wanted to keep their own glory and wealth.
According to the organizational structure, Sun Shoufa was subordinate to He Renlong, but this was also the reason why he took orders under Hong Chengchou.
"Do you still remember the Romance of the Three Kingdoms that Mr. Shu told about when you were a kid?"
Chen Wang looked at Chen Gong and Hu Zhili, observing their reactions. He was not anxious because he knew the two of them very well.
"The general trend of the world is that if it has been divided for a long time, it must be united, and if it has been united for a long time, it must be divided."
"The seven kingdoms fought over the weekend and merged into Qin. After Qin was destroyed, Chu and Han fought against each other and merged into Han..."
"At the end of the Han Dynasty, natural disasters occurred frequently in various places, and civil unrest continued..."
Chen Wang didn't say everything clearly, or even finished. He knew very well that his goal had been achieved.
Chen Gong and Hu Zhili were slightly startled. Chen Wang's words reminded them of old events in Liaodong.
They all knew the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and listened to the storyteller tell it over and over again, but they never got tired of hearing it.
At the end of the Han Dynasty, the world was in chaos, the princes rose up together, and the heroes fought against each other in the Central Plains!
Fight on the battlefield, fight with generals in front of the battle array, seize flags to defeat the enemy, and worship the generals as marquises, kings, and nobles!
Those who listened were all full of enthusiasm and fascinated.
An inexplicable feeling emerged from the hearts of the two of them.
That moment was just like this moment.
They had never thought about it before, but now that they think about it carefully, aren't their current situation in the Ming Dynasty just like the big men in the past.
There are frequent natural disasters, wars and chaos, and foreign races from all directions are watching.
At the end of the Han Dynasty, the Yellow Turban Army invaded eight states and was wiped out in an instant, but the Han Dynasty was eventually destroyed.
The rogue bandits have been wreaking havoc on the world for eight years now, and they have not yet been wiped out.
At this time, the Jin people in the North were rising again. Not only had they not weakened in more than 20 years, they had become stronger and stronger.
The Mongols, who had been fighting with the Ming Dynasty for a lifetime, were also defeated by the Jin people, and now the entire Monan was captured by the Jin Kingdom.
The current situation of the imperial court is more difficult than that of the Han Dynasty in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and it has indeed shown the signs of national subjugation.
Although the expressions of Chen Gong and Hu Zhili were still changing, Chen Wang's mood became calmer.
The biggest reason why he told Chen Gong and Hu Zhili was that he needed their full help now.
Moreover, he will do many things that are outrageous to today's people, and he will also need to do some special things.
"Brother Wang always considers everything carefully when doing things, and I trust him this time too."
Hu Zhili's eyes became clear again, and he clenched his fists, seeming to have made some determination.
Chen Wang's eyes moved slightly and he looked at Chen Gong. Hu Zhili's reaction was not beyond his expectation.
Hu Zhili and Hu Zhiyi are brothers and his cousins.
Although he is said to be a cousin, he is actually considered a biological brother.
Their mother died of illness after giving birth to Hu Zhili, and their father also died on the battlefield when they were young.
The two were originally raised by the elders of the clan when they were young. Chen Wang met them both during clan studies.
Later the elder who raised them passed away.
From the time they were eight or nine years old, Hu Zhili and Hu Zhiyi lived, clothed, and lived in Chen Wang's home.
Because Chen Wang's mother was also born in the Hu family, she later brought her here to help raise her.
Their eldest brother Hu Zhiren died young, and Hu Zhiyi ranked second, but he played the role of the eldest brother, so he had a calm personality, was experienced in dealing with things, and was taciturn.
Due to the influence of his original growth environment, Hu Zhili has a rather gloomy personality and acts decisively and ruthlessly.
The two of them have been following Chen Wang since childhood. No matter what Chen Wang does, they will follow him.
This time, there is no exception.
Hu Zhili made a decision. Chen Gong stood there without moving. He was still thinking about something. When the two people looked at each other, Chen Gong's face showed other expressions.
"Since eldest brother has made a decision, he must have something in mind."
Chen Gong raised his head and looked at him with serious eyes.
"But raising an army is of great importance. Our family is not small and we must not act rashly. At least..."
Chen Gong gritted his teeth and whispered.
"At least get most of the people in the clan to a safe place..."
Chen Wang stepped forward and patted Chen Gong on the shoulder.
"I understand, don't worry."
Chen Gong has always been accustomed to making decisions before taking action. He is unwilling to do risky things. He is a cautious character, so it is natural for him to hesitate for a long time.
"The time has not come yet, and the foundation is still shallow. It is definitely not the time to raise the army. I will definitely arrange things properly before raising the army..."
People are not as ruthless as grass and trees. Although they are not real parents, relatives and friends, those people and things are all in the memory.
Naturally, it was impossible for Chen Wang to completely treat him as a stranger and leave him alone.
Moreover, he has just become a guerrilla now. It is said that he is just entering the official career. There are still five years left before the thirteenth year of Chongzhen. Everything is still too early.
Chen Wang turned his head, looked at Hu Zhili, and whispered.
"Zhili, you pick ten martial arts masters from the army. These people will be under your direct control for the time being and form a separate team."
Chen Wang paused for a moment, thought about it, and finally added.
"Don't pick those who are too cunning. Loyalty is the most important thing. If you are not good at swordsmanship, you can practice it. If you are not good at riding, you can learn it. But people's minds are hard to change."
Hu Zhili nodded. Although he didn't know what Chen Wang wanted to do, he didn't hesitate and agreed directly.
Chen Wang turned his head again and looked at Chen Gong. He was about to say something, but a rush of footsteps interrupted his thoughts.
A messenger soldier wearing armor and a robe had already passed through the barrier composed of guards on the outside.
The messenger stopped seven or eight steps away and reported loudly.
"Qilin Qilin, Qianhuguan, Qianhu Office, Qianhu Office, Mian County, please see me outside the camp."
Chen Wang's eyes moved slightly, and he took back what he was about to say.
He was about to go find Qian Hu from Mian County, but he never thought that Qian Hu from Mian County Qian Hu Office would come to his door first.
The status of the book is very poor, so the updates are intermittent. I really feel sorry for everyone this time. I will try my best to adjust it back. Don't worry, the book will never be unfinished. I have finally adjusted my schedule during this period.
