Chen Jianghe still didn't kill people after all, his son is important, but Ma Gong and Wu Liang are also children of military families, and their father and brother are acquaintances with Chen Jianghe. It's just a matter of swallowing the money that others have cheated on, and if he kills people again, it seems to be beyond his bottom line.

That afternoon, Chen Jianghe did not go to work in the blacksmith shop again, but stayed at home like that, pulling his son to talk non-stop, as if he wanted to say all the words that had been held in his heart for the past few years.

Chen Yue smiled and listened to Chen Jianghe, feeling the taste of father's love, which made him obsessed and intoxicated.

"Dad, now that we have money, let's leave Jingshi!" At night, lying on the bed looking at the dark roof, Chen Yue finally said what he had always wanted to say.

"Why?" Chen Jianghe's voice was startled, and Chen Yue could hear the creaking of the bed board as he sat up from the bed.

"Dad, you also know the situation of the Ming Dynasty today, the Manchu Tartars have been plundered by the Kou for many years, and the people of various provinces in Gyeonggi have been scattered. The northern provinces have been drought-stricken for many years, and the climate is getting colder and colder, and the imperial court cannot collect taxes, but it has to pay a huge number of salaries and silver for the nine-sided army, and the tax and silver of the imperial court have been collected until the forty years of Chongzhen. The increasing taxes overwhelmed the people, and countless people in Shaanxi and Henan became thieves. The thieves captured Luoyang, flooded Kaifeng, and occupied the entire heart of the Central Plains, while the imperial army's army failed one after another, and one after another elite soldiers either died in the thieves or perished in the Manchurian Tartars. The current imperial court has few elite soldiers available, if the thieves wave their division to the north to attack the Beijing division, you also know the current situation of the Beijing division's army, how many days have it not been practiced, I estimate that the Beijing division will not be able to hold it. If the Mantars take the opportunity to enter the customs, then the Jingshi will be caught in a continuous war.

I estimate that in less than two years, the war will definitely burn to Jingshi, and our father and son can't be in danger, just now that we have money, we can leave Jingshi and go to Jiangnan, where we can live a rich and peaceful life. ”

After listening to Chen Yue's words, Chen Jianghe was speechless for a long time. Feeling his father's silence, Chen Yue's heart became worried.

"Although I have been in a daze all these years, I have often heard all kinds of news, and now I have a clear mind and summarized the news I have heard before, so I made such a suggestion to my father." I was afraid that my father would wonder why he knew so much about himself with a good head, Chen Yue explained.

"Ah Yue, do you know what kind of family our Chen family is?" Chen Jianghe didn't pay attention to Chen Yue's explanation, but suddenly said such words.

"Uh......" Chen Yue was stunned for a moment, and Fang said: "Our Chen family is a military family, and our ancestors have been soldiers of the Ming Dynasty for generations. ”

"If only you knew!" Chen Jianghe snorted coldly and said, "I think our ancestor Zhiheng Gong was originally a pawn under the command of Yongle Ye, who followed Yongle Ye in the southern and northern wars and participated in the previous battles of Jingnan. Only then was he named a commander, hereditary 100 households.

For more than 200 years in the Ming Dynasty, our Chen family has been a soldier of the Ming Dynasty for generations, eating the salary of the imperial court, and fighting in the south and north in order to sweep away the anti-thief and Tatar captives. Your grandfather became a guerrilla general in Beijing, but in order to serve the imperial court, he did not hesitate to leave Taiping Beijing, followed Zhang Chunqian, the superintendent of the army, to reinforce Liaodong, and died in the Battle of the Daling River.

Our Chen family can be said to be heroic and loyal for generations, if it is in peacetime, it is okay, if it is turbulent today, it is the time for us to serve the court. Daming has supported us for more than 200 years, how can you and my father and son be loyal to the country? ”

"Ahh Chen Yue was stunned by Chen Jianghe's words, there was such a pedantic person! When the Ming Dynasty fell, there were countless Wencheng generals crying and shouting surrender, or surrendering to Li Chuang, or surrendering to the Manchu Qing, or first surrendering to Li Chuang and then to the Manchu Qing, and I didn't see anyone feel guilty! You are a dilapidated military household who has eaten a meal but not a meal, but when you talk about serving the country with loyalty, you think you are Yue Pengju! Even if it is Yue Pengju, he didn't die unjustly in the Storm Pavilion! And how much better is Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty and even the later Emperor Hongguang than Zhao Gou?

But in addition to slandering, Chen Yue couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart. It is with such pedantic people that the Chinese nation has continued to carry on the past and continue to inherit, even if it is a bloody entrenchment in the Central Plains, there is Huai Youbu Yiliang sword Chuzhou, and there is Sun Cannon repeatedly defeated and defeated, each time it expelled the Tartars and restored China.

Don't talk about others, just talk about yourself, in another time and space, if the nation is really in danger, although he is just a little policeman, he will definitely resolutely carry the steel gun and go to the battlefield!

Suddenly, Chen Yue understood his father's choice. My father is a soldier, a pure soldier, a soldier who only knows the things of the king and loyalty, but such a person is the most lovely person in the world. Although Chen Yue disapproves of his father's foolish and loyal behavior, he has to admire his personality.

Chen Yue knows that such people are very stubborn, and once they make a choice, they will no longer be able to be shaken by words. is such a relative in this world, since he can't persuade him, face it with him!

After making up his mind, Chen Yue's heart calmed down. Since he can't persuade his father, he can only do his best to make the father and son survive in this troubled world.

Fortunately, now that there is a lot of silver, there is also capital to move around. In the next few days, it is necessary to improve the strength of the father and son as soon as possible, so as to have the capital to survive. To promote my father's position as soon as possible, the general banner of the Beijing camp, twenty or thirty military households under his command, this position is too low, at least to the position of a thousand households, and then raise another hundred and ten family members!

And then it's about making money, and the little money in my hand is just some dead money, and I can't afford to spend it at all. Later, with the promotion of his father's military position, he needed a large amount of silver to support the army. Some students may say, isn't raising an army a matter of the imperial court? No, no, no, although the imperial court will allocate military salaries, but after the silver has been stripped up and down, there is not much left in the hands of the soldiers, and they can't even eat a full stomach. Therefore, the army at the end of the Ming Dynasty was very poor, and most of the people were not much better dressed than called Huazi. Can an army that can't even eat enough to go to war on the battlefield? Naturally, it can't, so the army of the imperial court has been defeated repeatedly. And in order to be able to fight, and more importantly, in order to save their lives on the battlefield, the generals spent their own money to train their families, of course, this silver was still deducted from ordinary military households.

Therefore, the strength of a general does not depend on the number of troops under his command, but on how many families he raises. Take Wu Sangui, the general soldier of Ningyuan, for example, his troops reached as many as 40,000, but there were only more than 1,000 real family members among them. But relying on these more than 1,000 families, Wu Sangui's strength is now faintly ranked first among all the armies, and his Ningyuan has become the last barrier in western Liaoning.

Therefore, since my father is determined to be loyal to the court, if he wants to survive and make contributions, he must have his own family team. All of this requires a lot of money. Judging from his family's poverty over the years, his father Chen Jianghe has no ability to make money, and all this has to fall on his head.

At this moment, Chen Yue felt a lot of pressure!
