"The first battle of Mizhi, because of one of my private requests to rescue my brother, to the current result, the entire coalition benefited the most, and in the end it was we who woniu mountain, not only captured and purchased a large number of cottages urgently needed, the most important thing is that we increased the manpower, here are not only the people and horses of Wang Xin Jiang Liang who belong to us, but the most important thing is that there are nearly three thousand wounded soldiers, their recovery will be the most valuable soldiers in our cottage, and we have also harvested talents, such as Wen has Chen Ce, Zhao Xing, and the fierce general has Geng Kui, Wang Xin and Jiang Liang, as well as Chunlan. When he looked at Chunlan, Lu Shi's eyes were full of tenderness.

The brothers who were named tried hard to straighten their waists, and Chunlan raised her little head high, and was valued by her sweetheart, which was better than any reward.

"At the same time, we have also gathered a large number of craftsmen in Mizhi, which is our greatest wealth, more important than gold and silver."

Blacksmith Zhao was flattered and hurriedly stood up, and kept nodding to Lu Shi, who hurriedly comforted him and asked him to sit down. The status of the craftsman is close to that of a slave, and the performance of Zhao Blacksmith is an inferiority complex deeply rooted in the bones of thousands of years of oppression, which is not worthy of his tall figure, but it is also a kind of helplessness.

"With the addition of these brothers, immediately solved our dilemma of lack of manpower, but also laid a solid foundation for the future development of the cottage, now we can not only focus on this small Woniu Mountain, staring at the dilapidated northern Shaanxi, since we have realized that we are now doing business, all of us want to practice the ideal world, we must look at the long-term, and then long-term, then we can continue to grow, and finally realize, but also will be able to achieve our ideals."

Everyone's eyes became eager again, and in those eyes, Lu Shi really felt everyone's confidence in realizing that ideal.

Lu Shi took a deep breath and said slowly again: "There is a long way to go to realize the ideal, and we need to continue to practice, keep fighting, and constantly seek victory in failure, because what we are facing is not a fortress, a county town, and a three-hundred-year-old empire. ”

All the people in the room bit their lips, their faces flushed, their fists clenched, and their breathing became heavy.

Not fear, but excitement.

Lü Shibi knew more keenly than all the people he was doing that the peasant uprising in the late Ming Dynasty was not all smooth sailing, and the reactionary rule of the landlord class was not a one-time push.

In the Ming Dynasty, the peasant uprising has never been interrupted, and since the Wanli period, the peasants in various places have repeatedly raised the banner of uprising to launch an attack on the decadent Ming Dynasty. For example, in the sixteenth year of Wanli, Liu Ruguo led an uprising in the Susong area of Taihu Lake in Anhui Province, and in the twenty-seventh year of Wanli, Zhao Guyuan (formerly known as Zhao Yiping), a disciple of the White Lotus, organized an uprising in the Xuzhou area. In the thirty-fourth year of Wanli, Liu Tianxu and others, a Wuwei disciple in Nanjing, conspired to revolt in the second year of the Apocalypse, and the Shandong White Lotus Sect held an uprising under the leadership of Xu Hongru. In short, from the late Wanli period to the Apocalypse period, the sky of the whole China was already cloudy, and there was a faint muffled thunder from time to time. The small and medium-sized regional peasant uprisings were like bursts of blinding lightning, which not only revealed the darkness that enveloped the land, but also strongly foreshadowed the coming of a large-scale storm.

The reason why these uprisings were quickly extinguished was not only because of the strength of the imperial court, but also because of the limitations of the peasant uprisings in the late Ming Dynasty.

First of all, ideologically, the rebellious peasants, although they took up arms, did not realize that they had begun the grand cause of overthrowing the Zhu Ming dynasty. Due to their narrow-mindedness, it is not yet possible to have a comprehensive understanding of the darkness and decay of the Ming Dynasty. They still considered themselves to be the subjects of the imperial court, and their hatred was often focused only on the officials and gentry who directly oppressed and bullied them, and their struggle was only forced by hunger and cold, to use force to thwart the government's urging, and to take the money to survive from the granaries of the rich and the rich.

Because of this, the rebellious peasants were often bound by feudal orthodoxy at this stage. Once the imperial court and local high-ranking officials announced the "forgiveness of sins and the encouragement of peace" and the release of relief, many of the masses in the ranks of the uprising, and even many of the leaders, often threw themselves into the net and accepted the recruitment, and in the end they did not die well.

Now, Lu Shi has pointed out this chaotic thinking to everyone here, and clarified the current goal - rebellion, overthrow this declining dynasty, and build the world in everyone's hearts, then we must move forward without looking back. Lu Shi's words have clearly told all the people present that now, we are not just fighting to defend a small cottage, no longer fighting for a full meal, but fighting for a new king who changes the dynasty.

Change of dynasty, for all men, what a tempting word for the new king. A boy was born in the world, which one did not dream of becoming a prince and general? And what Lu Shi showed them was such a prospect of the new king.

There was no restless buzzing in the hall that Lu Shi thought of, and no one panicked, because, in front of the city gate of Zhangjiabao, Lu Shi's city gate declaration let everyone know that at that moment, they were no longer muddy poles struggling to survive, they had and willingly walked on the rebel court, and the new king of the rebel army.

Pointing out the theme, Lu Shi said solemnly: "Brothers, now that we have come to this point, don't expect us to learn from the Song Jiang in the Water Margin, and take everyone to the court to recruit An, even if they are recruited, the example of Song Jiang in the Water Margin is there, and in the end it was cleaned up by the court one by one, not to mention, the current court is much darker and dirtier than the Great Song Dynasty at that time, so we can only firmly follow our current goal, no matter how difficult it is, no matter how great the temptation of the court Zhao'an, we have to go on." Now, please express your views on the new king. ”

The thinking must be unified, the hesitant and the hesitant must be eliminated, or it will be a time bomb within the army in the future, so that when they are waiting for a decisive battle with the government, the internal instability will allow them to destroy the new king in an instant.

Seeing that everyone was just staring at him, Lu Shi smiled faintly and said: "Now everyone speaks their minds, speaks freely, and the speaker is not guilty, if you think that the future is bleak and hard, and you are not willing to fight with everyone, I will ask the big boss and the third uncle to promise to give you a certain amount of money and food, or set up another cottage, or go elsewhere, or hide in the countryside, everyone is still a brother, but once you decide today, everyone will fight a way to live for the people who follow us in the water and fire, then don't think about recruiting and betraying in the future." All right? ”

Still no one spoke, and everyone still maintained their original demeanor.

Lu Shi turned his face and said with a smile: "Big boss, what do you say?" ”

Guo Tianxing said without the slightest hesitation: "Don't ask me about this, I'm the big boss, I just don't want to do it, you won't let me, besides, my revenge has not been avenged, I haven't killed all the corrupt officials and cool officials, how can I stop?" People live for a lifetime, if they can mix with princes and generals, and then they can create such a world for the people, they will raise their spirits and publicize when they want to come, and this thing will be a new king. ”

"What do you think of the brother of the Zhao family?"

Zhao Dahai moved his body to make himself sit more comfortably on the chair, didn't even raise his eyes, and sighed: "I, Zhao Dahai, am alone, even if I can't get off the thief ship, I think I'm already a thief who exterminated the nine clans in the imperial court, besides, the Zhao'an family also recruits those big guys, little ants like me can only be caught by the government to be an example to set an example, hehehe, for the sake of a small fate, let's follow everyone, maybe it's still as the Tianxing brothers said, Mix a prince and a prince or something, and the new king. ”

"What do you think of Brother Chen Ce?" Lu Shi asked, here Chen Ce has been influenced by Confucianism and loyalty, so he specially asked for his opinion, and at the same time, he also wanted to touch everyone's thoughts about the prospect.

Chen Ce pondered for a moment, and looked back at his brother Wang Xin Jiang Liang Xinchuang Wang. Speaking of which, the two of them went to Woniu Mountain, because they were dragged down by themselves, and at the same time, they also came from the same place, and they were unconsciously close to many new kings.

When he had no choice but to go to Woniu Mountain where Geng Kui joined, Chen Ce just took a wait-and-see attitude in his heart, but when he saw a series of measures implemented by Lu Shi in Mizhi County, he had the style of doing great things to save the people, but he secretly nodded in his heart, and when he saw that every brother of Woniu Mountain was consciously or unconsciously preaching the declaration of the city gate, and they were all consciously or unconsciously working hard for the world depicted by Lu Shi, he saw the difference in Woniu Mountain - vigor, yes, it is vigorous, This made Chen Ce admire at the same time, but also hopeful, and the three people behind him were amazed by the new king for this matter.

Moreover, Chen Ce has lost confidence in this Ming Dynasty, which has long been decayed and fallen to the roots, and has seen through that now the Ming Dynasty has come to the end of the road, and the time to change the dynasty has come to the new king.

But other poles don't think like this, the thieves just live to eat some big households, and the government really recruits An, and they want to be the obedient people of the Ming Dynasty, but after Zhao'an, they won't be exploited? Will there be a good life? Will those officials and gentry be nice to them overnight? How can they not understand the result that even the dogs know? Especially Chen Ce, a talented showman, once he is recruited, he will not be tolerated by those self-appointed scholars, after all, in their hearts, Chen Ce is already a rebellious person, and he must be removed quickly, so the three of them are one mind, it is better to rely on themselves than on their own, and rely on their brothers to become the new king. At that moment, they were no longer the poles struggling to survive, they had and willingly stepped into the rebel court, and the rebel army rose up to break into the king.

Pointing out the theme, Lu Shi said solemnly: "Brothers, now that we have come to this point, don't expect us to learn from the Song Jiang in the Water Margin, and take everyone to the court to recruit An, even if they are recruited, the example of Song Jiang in the Water Margin is there, and in the end it was cleaned up by the court one by one, not to mention, the current court is much darker and dirtier than the Great Song Dynasty at that time, so we can only firmly follow our current goal, no matter how difficult it is, no matter how great the temptation of the court Zhao'an, we have to go on."
