Chapter Ninety-Seven: Cao Wenzhao's Feelings
"Is General Cao's words serious?" Mo Li said brightly.
"Of course!"
"Brothers, what do you think?" Mo Li turned to the crowd and said.
Du Geng, Guan Feng, He Zhenbei and others were originally from the official army, so they naturally had no opinions on Zhao'an, and it was naturally better to be able to restore the identity of the official army.
Cao Bianjiao couldn't ask for it, he was eager to return to the camp of the Ming Dynasty officials, and now that he saw that Moli had the intention of recruiting An, he was in favor.
Only Ma Jinzhong, Ba Laodao, Cheng Qingzhu and others have ideas in their hearts, Ma Jinzhong and Ba Laodao were forced to go to Liangshan by this world's disaster and famine, and naturally they have no good impression of the government.
However, Cheng Qingzhu held a grudge against the emperor because his brother Cheng Benzhi was executed by Emperor Chongzhen, and it was naturally reluctant for him to return to the imperial court under such circumstances.
Ma Jinzhong is more old-fashioned, and he raised a question: "My lord, if the court is willing to listen to our opinions and recruit our brothers, of course it is not a bad thing, but the official has two mouths, and the government has never talked about any credit. ”
"What Commander Ma said is reasonable, this matter is related to the future and safety of the brothers, so it is natural to act cautiously and must be considered before it can be carried out." Moli nodded.
Everyone discussed for a while, and when they talked about the future reward and knighthood, they were all excited, as if the court had agreed to their conditions. Only Cheng Qingzhu didn't say a word, drinking alone and drinking alone.
Mo Li saw it in his eyes, pondered for a moment, walked up to Cheng Qingzhu with a bowl of wine, and said, "Brother Cheng, this battle has been won, why aren't you happy?" ”
Cheng Qingzhu bit his lip, and finally spoke: "My lord, Qingzhu has always admired you and approved of your every decision, but how can I decide that your idea this time is a little dangerous!" ”
"Oh? How dangerous? Mo Li said quietly.
"My lord, have you forgotten how Inspector Yuan died? I remember when you first came to Heiyun Village, you once said that it was precisely because the court was unreasonable and the emperor was mediocre that it led to the tragic death of Inspector Yuan and destroyed the Great Wall, but why did you think of Zhao'an at this time? If Chongzhen's kid were trustworthy and enlightened, we wouldn't be raising the banner of rebellion here! Cheng Qingzhu said angrily.
"Brother Cheng, you believe me, I haven't changed, I just try my best to let the brothers have a good future, and it is also for the sake of the future development of the team." Mo Li touched it with Cheng Qingzhu with the wine bowl, and drank it all, "That's right, Emperor Chongzhen is not virtuous enough, and the court is also very corrupt, but we can negotiate terms with the court and let them do what we think." ”
Mo Li put down the wine bowl and continued, "We did win the battle today, but did we actually win? No! We are fighting to the death with the officials and soldiers here, fighting for our own family foundation, and what is depleted is our common strength.
And this will give our mortal enemy, the Tartars outside the gate, an opportunity to take advantage of. At that time, we and the imperial court will lose both, and the Tartars will pick up a big bargain, and they will easily be able to attack the Central Plains, and even ravage the entire land of China, because our strength is exhausted in the internal fighting!
Therefore, we can't keep spending with the court, we hurt the court this time, the court can only sit down and talk to us, if the court accepts our conditions, we will be able to develop production in the name of justice in the future, for the benefit of the people! ”
Cheng Qingzhu was stunned, this question was something he hadn't thought about. All along, he only thought about how to bring down the Chongzhen court and avenge his brother. But now that I heard Mo Li say this, I have created an opportunity for the Tartars to become a national sinner.
Everyone also pondered, and for a moment the hall was silent.
Cao Wenzhao was also shocked. He didn't expect Mo Li to have such a mind and vision, would such a person who was dedicated to the future of the nation and the country still be the so-called grass thief? Perhaps resisting the entry of the Tartars and driving out the Tartars was his ultimate goal.
In the next few days, Mo Li, Cao Bianjiao and others accompanied Cao Wenzhao around Lingchuan City to learn about Lingchuan City under the rule of the Fuxing Army.
Cao Wenzhao saw a vibrant scene in Lingchuan City, countless victims went out of the city to open up fields under the arrangement of the Lingchuan government officials of the Fuxing Army, preparing for the next year's cultivation, and people's faces were still filled with a look of hope.
Others, led by officials, built houses, paved roads and bridges, and cleaned ditches and waterways outside the city, a new thing called cement played a big role and opened Cao Wenzhao's eyes. The entire city of Lingchuan has been repaired and cleaned, and it is very clean and tidy, which makes people look very comfortable.
In order to prevent the occurrence and epidemic of plague, Moli specially arranged for the establishment of a health and epidemic prevention bureau, which was responsible for all kinds of epidemic prevention work, cleaning up all kinds of garbage and dead bodies of people and animals in a timely manner, sprinkling lime disinfection in various areas, and so on.
People in this era do not have any concept of hygiene, garbage is thrown everywhere, Moli regulations, in the future, everyone is not allowed to spit and litter at will, must be piled up uniformly, and then cleaned up by a special person every day.
If there is a violation, a very heavy fine will be imposed, found once a fine of ten dollars, found twice twenty dollars, found three times, congratulations, no need to fine silver, beat thirty boards.
After a period of renovation, Lingchuan Castle became neat and clean, and commerce and trade gradually prospered.
At the same time, more and more young people are joining the revival army, and people come to sign up every day, and the successive victories of the revival army a few days ago have also made the enthusiasm of the young men to join the army very high.
Cao Wenzhao found that the training and equipment of the Renaissance Army were indeed different, and Cao Wenzhao was amazed by their strict military appearance, advanced weapons, and special training methods.
He is also a veteran, and naturally knows that the training and equipment of the Renaissance Army are ahead of all armies in the world, and he can't help but be deeply shocked.
Combined with the technology mastered by the Renaissance Army, the various factories and farms they operate in Heiyun Village have achieved staggering results.
Cao Wenzhao thought to himself that with the strength of the Fuxing Army, if they wanted to be the king and hegemon, it would develop very quickly, and the imperial court would be helpless against them.
Fortunately, Mo Li did not seem to have any intention of becoming a king on his own, and he, like all the generals of the Renaissance Army, only wanted to drive the Houjin Tartars into the deep mountains and old forests as soon as possible.
Well, it seems that we need to quickly negotiate between the Baath Army and the imperial court.
It's just that I don't know what happened to Gao Qiqian and Lin Jianyue's two bastards.
