Since suspicion is unavoidable, staying out of the matter is not a way after all, it is better to make each other jealous, or be able to get along peacefully.

Han Qian's attitude changed, and Feng Yi and Dou Rong, who had served as a battalion commander and deputy general in the Chishan Army and Zuo Guangde's army, contacted Han Donghu and rushed to the cottage at the northern foot of Fuyu Mountain in the south of Guangde with a batch of money and grain, and met with Su Lie and other leaders who were secretly preparing for the uprising.

Han Qian was willing to meet with the leader of the uprising, and Su Lie and the other leaders of the uprising naturally wanted to see Han Qian first before discussing others.

Han Qian and more than 100 followers, it is not advisable to stay in Maoshan for too long, and the final place to meet is the intersection of Huzhou and Guangde Mansion, located in Jinzhongling, Jinji Ridge, Hanging Foot Ridge between the three boundary ridge mountain southeast branch veins.

Sitiandun was the earliest place where the Xinchang Marquis Li Pu led the Wei family, the Liu family and other Lishui family soldiers and clansmen to live.

After the official establishment of the Guangde Army, the Youguang German Army, which was mainly composed of the sons of Xinchang Marquis Li Pu Xuanzhou and Jingnan Shiwang, was mainly stationed in the area west of Langxi to confront the rebels of Anning Palace, and nearly 20,000 women and children such as Lishui Wei and Liu moved to Xuancheng and other places where it was easier to get food.

After the recovery of Jinling, these people basically moved back to Lishui County.

After the official establishment of the Guangde Army's Establishment Mansion, because the old forces of Sitiandun were cleared cleanest, Han Qian had set up more than a dozen new villages between Sitiandun and the surrounding mountains to accommodate the generals and families of the retreating Zuo Guangde Army, but it was precisely the case that Sitiandun was the most attacked by the clan lords.

Not only did some people take out the old land deeds and land deeds in Sitiandun and come back to encroach on them, but even some of the newly reclaimed slope terraces and new fields in the valleys were forcibly recovered by Anji County as public land, and only the original farmers were allowed to rent and cultivate, and they were ordered to pay four or five times the rent of the land tax; At the same time, the three coal mines and one iron mine mined in Sitiandun were forcibly expropriated as official property by Anji County.

At the craziest time of the family's counterattack, nearly 3,000 households in the entire Guangde Mansion were plundered, and more than a quarter of them were concentrated in Sitiandun.

This is still the number of households that have been directly robbed of their fields and houses and persecuted.

Those who are dissatisfied and have buried the flame of resistance are even more unknown.

The imperial court thought that sending Chen Jingzhou over had eased the conflict, but it didn't know that the blazing magma had been silently burning underground, waiting for a more appropriate time to erupt and destroy everything around.

Located at the eastern foot of the Jieling Mountain Range, the ancient post road of Jiaojiaoling connects Yangxian in Runzhou and Changxing in Huzhou, and the mountains east of the post road still stretch until it extends to the shore of Taihu Lake.

The terrain is this mountain range at the eastern foot of the hanging foot ridge, the peaks and ridges are not very high, but the ridge is dangerous and the valley is deep, and the terrain is rugged, but at that time, in order to facilitate the harvest of fish and shrimp in the waters of Taihu Lake and supplement food, a few trails and five villages that live on fishing and hunting were opened up, and more than 1,000 people were settled.

Han Qian had a plan to arrange for some old soldiers to withdraw from the camp very early, not because of the preservation of strength or any other ambition or intention, but purely because there were more than 100,000 women and children to be resettled at that time, and a large number of strong laborers were required to participate in all kinds of heavy physical labor.

The meeting place is located in one of the villages called Dingjiagou.

Han Qian climbed the mountain peak behind the village, under the thick shade of the green trees, the mountain rock that exposed the soil is maroon-red, also known as the red rock peak, the east peak cliff that is more than 40 zhang high is directly facing the water of Taihu Lake.

Han Qian stood at the head of the cliff, looking at the mighty Taihu Lake, the lake is dotted with green peaks, and there are some fishing villages and water villages, some of them make a living from fishing, some are shipping for their business, but there are also some merchants and thieves, only since the founding of the Great Chu, there has been a strong crackdown on the Taihu Lake thieves who are close to the bed, and the water village is not as crazy as Poyang Lake.

"Han Donghu and Su Lie are here." Feng Yi came over with two guards and said to Han Qian.

"Okay, let's go." Han Qian said.

This place is narrow, there are not too many people to stand, and there is a hunting shed in the forest in front of it, which can be used as a venue for deliberations with a little tidying.

Han Qian, Xi Ying, and Guo Rong walked towards the forest in front.

Kong Xirong and He Liufeng led the men and were responsible for the periphery of the guard, and Feng Yi and Dou Rong had already taken Han Donghu, Su Lie and the other seven leaders of the uprising to wait in front of the hunting shed.

"Adult ......"

In addition to Han Dong and Su Lie, the other seven leaders of the uprising were all military attaches who had retired from Zuoguang's German army, and they were all choked up with excitement when they saw Han Qian.

Han Qian took advantage of the marriage contract to return to Xuzhou, and many soldiers and civilians who stayed in Guangde Mansion at that time had almost arranged a way out, and the large-scale reclamation of the Tipo Lake was also in full swing, and the craftsmen in Xuzhou even stayed until April of the following year before the last batch withdrew.

Except for the thousands of soldiers and civilians who moved to Xuzhou with Han Qian, the people who stayed behind were logically said to have disassociated themselves from Xuzhou.

However, as long as it is human, there is always dependence.

Especially when the family's counterattack was the most ferocious, so many innocent people were imprisoned, tortured, or killed or maimed, and so many people's homes were taken away, forced by the elite of the forbidden army stationed around the family at that time, they dared not raise troops to resist, and when they had monstrous resentment against the court and the family, how could they not have a sense of loss abandoned by Xuzhou?

"Guo Xiao, Guo Quan, Zhou Zhu, Lin Jiang, Lin Sheng......"

Among the military attaches who retreated from Zuoguang's German army and chose to stay in Guangde Mansion and settle down, Guo Xiao, Zhou Zhu and other seven people are also backbones, so it is possible to take the seven of them as the leader, and connect with Han Donghu and Su Lie to prepare for an incident - Han Qian has an impression of them, and beckons them into the hunting shed to sit down and talk, and there is no need to be limited to etiquette.

The seven of them were full of excitement, and even a little uncontrollable, and followed Han Qian straight into the low hunting shed, bowing down, willing to stand there in such an awkward posture and listen to Han Qian's instructions.

Su Lie hesitated and hesitated, and followed Han Donghu into the hunting shed, his expression was quite unnatural.

Han Qian didn't care, beckoned Su Lie and Han Donghu to sit beside him, and asked Han Donghu, "This is the Double Sword Su Ye?" ”

"In front of the Marquis of Qianyang, Su Lie is a nameless junior, and he doesn't dare to be called this title." No matter how arrogant Su Lie's mentality is, he has already heard of Han Qian's almost legendary past.

Not to mention Han Qian, which person next to Han Qian said it, his reputation is not ten or a hundred times more prominent than him, where is his turn to sit in the position of Han Qian's head?

"Leader Su should not be polite, sit down and talk, otherwise everyone will bend over like this, and their waists will not be able to stand it." Dou Rong smiled and pushed him and Han Donghu to sit next to Han Qian.

Feng Yi mixed with the leaders, moved a tree stump and sat down.

Feng Yi and Dou Rong have been with Han Donghu and Su Lie in the past few days, and they can have a better grasp of Su Lie's mentality.

Su Lie's swordsmanship is excellent, he has been by Shang Wensheng's side for many years, he is coarse and knowledgeable, and the fugitive slaves who escaped from the Shang family with him are all elite soldiers of the Shang family.

They are strong in numbers, and they helped each other with Han Donghu to escape from the pursuit of the government, and even forced to flee to the depths of Fuyu Mountain, as well as gathering some of the persecuted Zuo Guang German army soldiers and their families in the early stage, he occupied a quite dominant position.

Even in tandem with more of the old soldiers of the Zuoguang German Army who were seized of their homes, Su Lie was actively promoting, in contrast, Han Donghu was more worried about inducing a larger-scale and more difficult to clean up chaos, and his attitude was relatively much more negative.

In other words, before Xuzhou officially intervened, Su Lie was the de facto leader of the uprising.

Now that Xuzhou is officially involved, with Han Qian's influence and prestige, as well as the feelings and involvement of so many old people towards Han Qian and the former Chishan Army, Su Lie is equivalent to being directly marginalized.

In other words, it is impossible for anyone to have no thoughts in their hearts.

Feng Yi saw that when Han Qian was deliberating, he deliberately arranged for Su Lie to sit next to him, knowing that he naturally took into account his feelings.

Han Qian met with everyone, mainly to discuss the way out for so many old and weak women and children, but at the beginning, he did not have preconceived ideas, or condescendingly directly specified what plan they accepted and what plan to implement according to them, mainly sat down to lay out the problems and discuss them together.

They must be prepared for armed struggle, but they must also realize that in the Jiangdong region, where the power of the clan lords is the strongest, and adjacent to the imperial capital Jinling, their strength is weak, and it can even be said that it is insignificant.

Han Donghu and Su Lie's original plan was mainly to rely on the nearly 400-mile Fuyu Mountain to move and survive after the incident.

With such a large-scale mountain range, deep forests and dangerous valleys, and a large number of generals and families of the Guangde Army had taken root at the northern foot of Fuyu Mountain before that, the mass foundation was excellent, and there was no problem for an elite combat force of one or two thousand to hide in it.

However, after the uprising, more people will really be swept in, and compared with the young and strong men who can be organized into elite troops, the number of old and weak women and children will be several times larger, which will make the rebel army extremely bloated and clumsy.

This is also a problem that the peasant uprising has inevitably faced for thousands of years, and it is also a problem that Han Qian tried to avoid in every possible way after forming the Chishan Army.

In the deep mountains and old forests, no matter how difficult it is to advance and retreat freely, not to mention the need for tens of thousands of stone of food and straw supplies every month, it is simply unable to solve it, and when the time comes, under the joint encirclement and suppression of the forbidden army and local soldiers and horses, it will only become weaker and weaker, and finally it will be difficult to escape the tragic end of destruction.

And if Xuzhou really wants to participate more directly in this matter, then it cannot directly carry out an uprising and riot in the most violent way.

Although Han Qian decided not to do anything anymore, he decided to take the initiative and ask Yang Yuanpu and the princes of the court to be jealous of him, instead of doing everything possible to clear up the suspicion, but he would not go to cause trouble.

It is even said that he is far from being qualified to cause trouble, let alone replace him.

A more feasible alternative strategy is to imitate the original Xuzhou Boat Gang, the sect organizations that have existed since the Qin and Han dynasties, and the secret societies that flourished in the Ming and Qing dynasties in later generations, and form semi-armed gang organizations, pursuing a certain ability to protect themselves, but not directly tearing their faces with the imperial court.

Considering that after the Northern Expedition of the Forbidden Army captured Chaozhou, it was not able to directly attack Shouzhou for the time being, between Chuzhou and Yangzhou, and further north to the area adjacent to the main lake of Hongze Lake, which is almost equivalent to the border of Shiliang County, the hills and mountains are undulating, the lakes are swinging and the water is vertical and horizontal, and it is connected with Hongzepu, Fanliang Lake and other giant anchors, which will be a buffer zone for the three forces to be difficult to fully control.

As long as he negotiated with King Shin, the gang he formed would be able to find a bigger living space there.

As long as he did this, he would be qualified to negotiate with the imperial court, and even Han Qian could directly come forward to exert pressure to force the imperial court to recognize its legitimate existence as a semi-armed force dependent on Great Chu.

This is also the condition for Han Qian to stand up and meet with everyone, and he is willing to directly intervene in this matter in Xuzhou, and it is impossible for him to directly set off a large-scale riot in the water town south of the Yangtze River.
