Chapter 420: Chen Jin and Jiangdong
Bu clan, is the Huaiyin clan, Yuan Shu was in charge of Jianghuai, to avoid Jiangdong, Jian'an five years, the Bu clan has a handsome Bu Que into the Shi under Sun Ce, and later after Sun Ce's death, Bu Fei has been an official to Danyang County, and the Bu family also moved to Jiangdong at that time.
To say how Chen Jin married the Bu family, it is quite interesting, until now, Chen Mo is a little funny when he thinks about it.
The clock goes back two years.
When Chen Jin first arrived in Chengde, Chengde can be said to be a mess, just been raided by Jiangdong not long ago, no one in the court is willing to come here to take office, the people in the county are capable, most of them move to other places, or go to Jiangdong, or go to the place north of Shouchun to make a living, Han Qiong established a defense line in the area of Shouchun to block the invasion of the Jiangdong army, and Chengde belongs to the periphery of the defense line.
After Chen Jin arrived in Chengde with Xu Zhen, Dian Man, Guo Huai and others, he began to actively search for the people's feelings, visiting the local gentry who had not yet left, hoping that they would stay.
However, with the situation of Chengde at that time, the gentry clan had either fled, or built a dock fort to protect themselves, and the rest secretly took refuge in Jiangdong.
Chen Jin just arrived in Chengde, he was embarrassed by the local gentry, several decrees were issued, the county officials violated the yang and yin, and visited the gentry, naturally they also hit the wall again and again.
Learning from Chen Mo to pretend to be a trader and wander around the countryside, because he had rich experience in the countryside in Juyi Township, Chen Jin easily sorted out the problems that Chengde County was probably facing from the villagers.
The population loss is serious, and the six gentry who stayed in the local area have secretly taken refuge in Jiangdong, and at the same time basically control the entire Chengde, and the Chengde fields are basically allowed to these six families.
After integrating the information, Chen Jin returned to Chengde County, visited the six family heads and gentry again, and hinted that he had also taken refuge in Jiangdong, and this time he came to try to help Jiangdong break through Han Qiong's defense.
Originally, Chen Jin just made up a reason, but he didn't expect these six families to react and accept Chen Jin as soon as possible.
Although there is no evidence, such a flawed reason was accepted by the other party, which made Chen Jin suspicious, but Chengde's initiative must be taken over immediately, and later it will change, and Chen Jin will hold a banquet to entertain these six family heads.
At that time, Chen Jin only had the actual manpower in his hands, such as Dianman, Guo Huai, Xu Zhen and twenty servants, in addition, the government office was the head of the six families, and the heads of the six families did not suspect him, and came to the banquet together, but Chen Jin captured and killed the six heads of the family in one fell swoop when he was drunk.
Although there are not many servants of the twenty servants, they are all personally selected by Chen Mo, each of them has superb martial arts and tacit understanding, which is comparable to those private soldiers of the wealthy family, four of the six family heads were killed on the spot, and the remaining two were captured alive, and the officials in the government office were also taken advantage of by Chen Jin to kill and seize power.
Then assemble the county guards, block the city gate, with Guo Huai as the county lieutenant, Xu Zhen as the thief Cao is responsible for the security of the city, only one day, successfully seize power, and appease the people in the city, and raid the houses of six people.
After interrogating the two family heads who were captured, Chen Jin unexpectedly learned that Jiangdong was really going to use the six family heads to secretly investigate Han Qiong's reality and wait for an opportunity to break through the defense line established by Han Qiong, and Jiangdong was just about to send someone to coordinate everything.
After learning the news, Chen Jin immediately sent someone to inform Han Qiong, wanting to plan the plan, counter Jiangdong, and block Chengde County, take the family as a hostage, and force the two families to cooperate with him, himself, Guo Huai, Dian Man, and Xu Zhen each pretended to be the head of the family, and at the same time spread the news to the outside world, Xinxian was extremely killed, and the corpses were thrown into the wild, and at the same time secretly ordered people to go to Hefei to urge Jiangdong to take over Chengde.
Jiangdong didn't know what to do, so he sent 2,000 people to take over, but Chen Jin and Han Qiong trapped them in the city and surrounded and annihilated them in one fell swoop.
lost 2,000 soldiers and horses at once, don't look at it much, but Jiangdong's troops in Hefei are only more than 10,000, and they have to control various important places to confront the Han army, the loss of 2,000 people is a lot for Hefei, and the strategy was recognized, and Jiangdong naturally broke Han Qiong's mind.
And Chen Jin in this battle, he strategized and acted decisively, and he did not hesitate to be ruthless when he should have made a decisive move, which can be regarded as a complete foothold in Chengde.
In the following more than a year, he actively built fortifications, built water conservancy in the area of Chengde, set up dock forts, and after asking for the permission of the imperial court, he began to train Tuntian soldiers in Chengde, working in the field when the farm was busy, training when the farm was slack, once Jiangdong came to attack, he took the dock fort as a stronghold, and the beacon fire was the number, supporting each other, and at the same time strengthening the city defense of Chengde, ensuring that after Chengde was attacked, it could be transmitted to the nearest garrison as soon as possible, and could hold on until the arrival of the garrison.
Although he has not been on the battlefield, but Chen Jin in this operation of Chengdu, showed a good layout ability, for Hefei may appear in the way of attack, he almost have made corresponding responses, but in this more than a year, more than a dozen times only with the local militia in Chengdu repelled the invasion of the Jiangdong Army, but also under the attack of the Jiangdong Army, let the people of Chengdu gradually restore their livelihood, become a strong stronghold to resist Jiangdong.
Originally, these things had nothing to do with the Bu family, but Chengde went from a city that was almost fixed by Jiangdong to a solid barrier to resist the invasion of Jiangdong step by step, which naturally attracted the attention of Zhou Yu, who had been paying attention to this side.
"Lord, this person is a rare talent, if he can say that he will surrender, he will help me Jiangdong one day!" Zhou Yu dared to say this to Sun Quan, naturally he also carefully checked Chen Jin's background, the son of Lizheng in a very ordinary countryside near Luoyang, with his own ability, he served as Lizheng and the third elder step by step, and then because of the relationship between the Central Plains system, he was promoted to the county order, which is all well-founded.
In order not to make people doubt Chen Jin's origin, Chen Mo really created a hometown for his son, that is, when Chen Jin was young, Chen Mo took him to experience the life of the people.
As for the name, there are more people with the surname Chen in the world, and it is not uncommon to have the same name.
Sun Quan frowned when he heard this: "However, I look at this person, I have quite a proposition, can Gong Jin persuade him to vote?" ”
Chen Jin has already proved his ability with facts, but the same kind of performance will also be valued by the Luoyang Imperial Court, Sun Quan can't figure out how to convince this person?
"According to the Luoyang Imperial Court, Chen Jin made a meritorious contribution this time, and it will take at least ten years to be promoted to Taishou!" Zhou Yu smiled when he heard this, and said with a smile: "I look at this person's ability, it is more than enough for a term of Taishou, in addition, it is the background, the Luoyang Imperial Court can't give it, but I can give it." ”
"Oh?" Sun Quan looked at Zhou Yu in puzzlement, and said in surprise: "Although this person's background is not high, Chen Mo has never been born in the same person. ”
"But how many people are there in the Central Plains? If there is no major change, it is easy for him to be promoted to Taishou, but it is difficult to go further, if he can't go further, and he wants to be a good official, his son is probably difficult to truly integrate into the Shi clan. Zhou Yu sighed.
In recent years, the Central Plains can be said to have produced a large number of talents, on the other hand, Jiangdong, although there are many talents, but there are not many who can really take on heavy responsibilities, in this case, Jiangdong or Jingzhou, the demand for foreign talents is far more urgent than Chen Mo! This is also the reason why Zhou Yu has been actively operating Hefei in the past two years, as far as the current situation is concerned, the longer the time drags on, the more beneficial it is to Chen Mo, and Jiangdong wants to follow Chen Mo's example, Sun Ce's era is okay, but it is difficult to get to Sun Quan.
Does origin matter?
Of course it is important, even if it is as enlightened as Chen Mo, now the selection of scholars is mostly to expand the scope of selection to the Shu clan, the Hanmen and some of the children of meritorious soldiers, if you don't have this background, it is difficult to enter the ranks, and the cognition cultivated by the Han Dynasty for four hundred years is not something that Chen Mo can overturn in a few years or ten years, someone has done this, but they failed and died miserably, do you say that the background is important.
Zhou Yu also valued this point, so he felt confident that he could pull Chen Jin to Jiangdong's side.
"Gong Jin is saying...... Marriage? Sun Quan asked.
"Yes, I see that Chen Jin is over twenty years old, but he has not yet married, I am afraid that because of this, although he is quite talented, it is quite difficult to marry someone who matches him." Zhou Yu nodded with a smile.
If you talk about the door, a son of Lizheng, even if there is a wealthy family willing to marry, I am afraid that Chen Jin himself will not look down on him, but if he wants to marry a real wealthy family, people will not look down on him, Zhou Yu feels that he can pull Chen Jin over according to this, after all, even if Chen Jin really climbs to the position of Taishou, the Luoyang Imperial Court is exceptionally promoted, I am afraid it will take five years, if you can come to Jiangdong, you can be among the scholars as soon as possible, saving the other party may take decades of time, and most importantly, Chen Jin is now just a county order, If he really waits for him to climb higher, this kind of person will not be easy to woo.
Zhou Yu was very optimistic about this young man, so he suggested that Sun Quan start earlier.
"Did Gong Jin ever have a suitable candidate?" Sun Quan asked with a smile.
"Actually, Yu thinks that the little sister is not bad, although she is three years older than Chen Jin, but she is ......"
"Cough~" Sun Quan coughed lightly, looking at Zhou Yu's gaze a little dangerous.
"What does the lord think, how about the step girl?" Zhou Yu smiled embarrassedly, it was really Sun Xiaomei who had passed the age of being out of line, but she had not been able to get married for a long time, Zhou Yu was a little anxious, but since Sun Quan was unwilling, Zhou Yu could only change people.
"Step girl?" Sun Quan thought for a while, nodded and said, "But this matter also needs Zishan's consent, right?" ”
"If the lord agrees, I will go to Danyang and talk to Zishan." Zhou Yu nodded.
"Gongjin is going to Hefei?" Sun Quan looked at Zhou Yu in surprise.
"I can't hide it from my lord, Yu really wants to meet this person in person." Zhou Yu did not evade it and nodded.
