"This Wang Lun looks rough on the surface, but his mind is extremely delicate, although his martial arts are not as good as the chief helmsman, but he is also a first-class master in the rivers and lakes, and his medical skills are outstanding. , Xu Tianhong showed an appreciative look in his eyes, "When my subordinates first came, he knew that I was a member of the Red Flower Society, but he never shied away from things big and small in the sect, and this belly was really rare." ”

"Do you think he has any thoughts of rebellion?" Sectarian rebellion has always been this kind of means, using free clinics, relief to buy people's hearts, and when the time is ripe, ascend to the heights and rise up, the initial momentum is huge, but due to the lack of strict organizational structure and long-term goals, and there is no military and political talent, the prosperity is fast and the decline is fast, after a great chaos, the poor people who follow them can not get benefits from it, from the White Lotus Sect, the Bagua Sect to the Qingshui Sect, the Boxer Rebellion, although there is no way to directly overthrow the imperial court, but it can also consume the strength of the imperial court, This is exactly what Chen Jialuo wants to achieve.

"When Wang Lun was preaching, he always said that the Black Wind Tribulation was coming, and the lifeless mother would come to the world to purify all sentient beings, and only those who entered the religion could survive the disaster, and claimed that as long as they sincerely believed in the lifeless mother, they would be invulnerable after going into battle. , slowed down Xu Tianhong continued, "Wang Lun never charges money for free clinic medicine, but there are many congregations in the church, and the pigs all have offerings, and this money is not only to pay for the consumption of free clinics and entertaining heroes, but there is still a lot left; All this money was used by Wang Lun to hoard grain, grass and weapons, presumably the roommate's plan to dominate the world. ”

It turns out that the supposedly invulnerable senior brothers of the Boxers all learned from Wang Lun! After sighing with emotion, Chen Jialuo continued to ask, "According to the seventh brother, how long will it take for this Wang Sect Master to have an incident?" If so, will it be possible? ”

"According to his subordinates, this Wang Lun's temperament is a bit like Yuan Shao in the Three Kingdoms!" , Xu Tianhong was born in a poor family, he never studied when he was a child, many things were obtained from the mouth of the storyteller, and he unconsciously used allusions in the Three Kingdoms when he spoke, "Yuan Shao is indecisive, he does big things and spares his life, and he forgets his life when he sees small profits, and Wang Lun is the same; This person is engaged in the business of killing heads, but he can't make up his mind for a long time, and the matter of the incident is discussed again and again, last winter, the heavy snow froze to death countless people, but the government refused to give relief, I persuaded him to take the opportunity to start an incident, but he said wait, wait; Until the spring, when the people were busy with farming again, Wang Lun didn't make up his mind, so he had to give up! If no one forces him and wants him to stand up and lead the rebellion, I'm afraid I don't know how long it will be delayed! ”

"Hmmm! It's up to us to find a way to push him. Chen Jialuo nodded, suffering from gains and losses, lack of initiative and enterprising spirit, this is a typical small-scale peasant consciousness, and it is also a common problem of peasant uprising leaders in the past, "How many congregations are there in the Qingshui Sect today?" If there is an uprising, can the state and county be captured? ”

"Now the Qingshui Sect has forces all over Yanzhou and Dongchang, with tens of thousands of congregations! If it is not a problem to pull out more than 100,000 horses in a short period of time, but they are all poor people who have never been in the battle array, if they are in the field with the courage of blood and blood, they may be able to win one or two battles, but now the cities of Yanzhou and Dongchang are still quite solid, and I am afraid that it will not be good to rashly attack the city! Even if you take one or two cities with Neiying at the beginning, it will not be so easy to wait for the Tartars to be prepared! Xu Tianhong's nickname is worthy of Wu Zhuge , and his words are true.

"The difficulty of attacking the city is the difficulty of that city wall, and it is really difficult to do it without equipment!" , Not to mention this time, even if the heavy artillery of the Japanese army during the Anti-Japanese War was unable to take a lot of city walls, Chen Jialuo also visited Xi'an, Nanjing and other cities in later generations, those tall and wide city walls left a deep impression on him, fortunately, the counties around Shouzhang are not so exaggerated, "When the time comes, we will send a batch of gunpowder to the Wang Sect Master, if it is a cave to attack the city, it may have some effect." Whether it is useful or not has not been experimented Chen Jialuo can't guarantee, but it's much better than simply taking people to pile up.

After talking about Wang Lun's affairs, Chen Jialuo had other thoughts, now that the construction of his base is imminent, there are not many people with brains like Xu Tianhong in the meeting, and he was afraid that he would have doubts about his actions in the meeting at first, but now that his prestige is growing, this concern can be put aside, and it will be a bit of a waste to keep him here, "Brother Seventh has worked hard in Shandong for several months, and a few days ago, several leaders in the meeting discussed the next plans, I don't know if Brother Seventh has received news?" ”

"The tenth brother has already made a special trip to inform the younger brother!" , A trace of regret flashed in Xu Tianhong's eyes, and he must be sighing for missing this meeting, "The chief helmsman has a long-term vision and careful actions, and the little brother is admired." ”

"The fourth brother has won the award, Xinyan has won the Zhongjinshi, and is on his way to Fuding to take office; The affairs of going to Fuding are complicated, and I don't have many competent people around me, I don't know if Brother Qi plans to continue to stay in Shandong or go to Fuding with me? Chen Jialuo did not give a direct order, but gave him the opportunity to choose.

"I've been in Shandong for more than half a year, and if I leave without anything, I'm afraid my brothers will laugh at me! Wait a while, and then go to Fuding after I instigate Wang Lun to get up! In the past six months, several elder brothers have either rushed to kill in the northwest, or followed the chief helmsman to Liaodong to dig treasures, but he is unknown, Xu Tianhong is inevitably a little unconvinced, and he is bent on making a big move to make a long face in front of your brothers and brothers!

Although there was some pity in his heart, Chen Jialuo knew that what he said was also reasonable, and nodded immediately, "It's so important for Brother Lao, tomorrow I will go to discuss with Wang Lun about the cooperation between the Red Flower Society and the Qingshui Sect, and strive to let Seventh Brother go back as soon as possible." The seventh brother is outstandingly resourceful, and the younger brother will inevitably have trouble with the seventh brother in the future! Please also ask Brother Seven to work hard! After speaking, Chen Jialuo got up and took a long look.

"The helmsman can't do this!" , Xu Tianhong hurriedly stopped Chen Jialuo, this courtesy and attention made him quite moved, "As soon as this matter is done, the younger brother will go to Fuding immediately." ”

After saying some things in the Qingshui Sect, Chen Jialuo went back to his room and lay on the bed thinking about how to persuade Wang Lun tomorrow, until the night turned white outside the window before he slowly fell asleep; On the second day, I woke up and washed up and boxed a few times in the yard, and was just about to go out to visit Wang Lun, when there was a hearty laugh outside the door again, but it was Wang Lun who took the initiative to come to see him.

Chen Jialuo hurriedly put away his posture, pushed open the door and greeted him, "Sect Leader Wang is early!" "Thank you for the reward and zongzi in the lower part of the day, it's almost over the Dragon Boat Festival, everyone remember to eat moon cakes.
