Chapter 42: Before the Mutiny
Mei Xiaohan decided to speed up his pace and rush to Chenqiaoyi, because he knew that that day was getting closer and closer.
How can a moment that witnesses history be easily forgotten!
Before rushing to Chen Qiaoyi, I must also visit those old classmates and old friends.
Now with a team of five hundred people, Mei Xiaohan can be regarded as a small warlord, although he does not like to be called a warlord, but I have to say that it is a very happy thing to have power.
The so-called spring breeze is actually because it has enough rights. Although this right is not very large, as the "commander" with an army of 500 people, Mei Xiaohan is still very proud.
In addition to being able to eat enough, there is another reason why these people are willing to follow Mei Xiaohan, that is, they can get very advanced weapons and equipment.
Mei Xiaohan marched towards Yunzhou Mansion with a sentence, and after checking up and down, he was not subjected to any interrogation along the way.
After returning to the "Hulu Pavilion" again, more than three months have passed, and his classmates have been waiting for more than three months.
"We haven't heard from you yet, we're very worried!"
Mei Xiaohan led a team of 500 people and drove into Yunzhou Mansion in a heroic manner.
When Mei Xiaohan brought the team, both the family members recruited in the gourd pavilion and the homeless people who were about to join the army were stunned.
For a while, many homeless people came to join the army under Mei Xiaohan's account, so that they could also see this different equipment.
After all, Mei Xiaohan's weapons and equipment are limited and cannot meet everyone's needs. The vast majority of them are soldiers or mainly cold weapons.
However, there was no problem with the supply of military rations, and the contents of the bow freighter alone were enough for the residents of a small town to meet their daily needs for half a year.
For five days in a row, the number of people who came to join the army increased by 1,500, and it was difficult to settle for a while, so they had to set up tents.
"If it continues like this, I'm afraid it will attract the attention of other warlords!"
Shoot the first bird! Mei Xiaohan didn't know this. It's not a good thing to be too showy.
Mei Xiaohan said: "Don't forget one thing, what are we here for!" ”
"I remember what you said!"
Zhang Yun opened the history book, looked at it, and said: "On February 3, 960 AD, Zhao Kuangyin led the army out of Tokyo City and marched to Chenqiaoyi..."
"You mean. Are we going to stop Zhao Kuangyin from launching a mutiny? ”
"No!"
"The change of Chen Qiao is a historical necessity... It's a fact that can't be changed! ”
"What we're going to do is... Be the hero of this mutiny! ”
"I really can't imagine that Zhao Kuangyin is so vicious, it turns out that the Chen Qiao mutiny was planned by him!"
"What is recorded in the history books is enough."
For Taizu's death, Zhao Kuangyin was also very sad. Chai Rong is definitely a good emperor, but it's a pity that his heart is higher than the sky and his life is thinner than paper.
Chai Rong has the grace of knowing Zhao Kuangyin, and appreciates and reuses Zhao Kuangyin.
However, now that Chai Rong is dead, everything is gone.
Seven-year-old son.
What can a seven-year-old son do, he is not even fully developed. What a big thing can be done.
It stands to reason that Zhao Kuangyin has the ability to be the emperor, but it's a pity that his name is not correct and his words are not good.
If Zhao Kuangyin can become the emperor, then Zhao Kuangyin's grand cause can be realized as soon as possible, and Chai Rong's wish can also be realized as soon as possible.
In fact, Zhao Kuangyin had already had the idea of becoming an emperor, but this could not come out of his mouth, even if he thought about it very much.
Mei Xiaohan said: "General Zhao is quite popular in the army. ”
Now there is almost no second person who can compete with Zhao Kuangyin in the army.
There is a person named Li Chongjin, this person is in charge of the Guard Division, and Li Chongjin is the envoy of the Huainan Festival. At this moment, he is guarding Huainan and is not in the capital. What's even more ironic is that many of the generals of the Guards Division are good brothers of Zhao Kuangyin.
Another important force, Zhao Kuangyin's power. His ten brothers of righteousness, Shi Shouxin, are now also holding important positions in the army.
Since the death of Taizu, Zhao Kuangyin's popularity in the army has become even more bullish, and his power has been expanding every day.
Under the elimination of each other, the Chai family's power gradually declined.
In the era of morality and etiquette, high and low, three from four virtues, three outlines and five constants, gradually lost their effectiveness. Only power is the most tangible thing. Otherwise, there would not be a chaotic situation of five dynasties and ten kingdoms.
The general trend of the world is divided and merged, and people have long felt sparse and ordinary.
"The grass on both sides of the wall is down, and you can choose a side at a critical moment."
Zhao Kuangyin secretly used thunderous means to force many people to obey him in a short period of time.
Wang Pu is a minister appointed by Taizu to take care of his life, and Wang Pu is a real literati. During the Qianyou period of the Later Han Dynasty, he was admitted to the Jinshi A Department and served as the secretary. At that time, Li Shouzhen occupied the river, Zhao Sijuan rebelled in Jingzhao, Wang Jingchong rebelled in Fengxiang, and Zhou Zu led the troops to crusade against them and appointed Wang Pu as the one to engage.
After the pacification of the river, he obtained a traitor's document, which contained many words of collusion between the ministers of the court and the feudal town.
Zhou Zu wrote down their names and prepared to interrogate them, but Wang Pu admonished them and said, "Ghosts and ghosts come out of the night, and once the sun and moon are bright, they will be automatically destroyed." Please burn all these things to appease the anti-thief heart next to the monarch. Zhou Zu complied. The troops returned to the division, and Wang Pu was promoted to Taichangcheng. Follow Zhou Zuzhen to guard Yedi.
Zhao Kuangyin, who occupies the right time and place, actually only lacks one thing. That is to be justified and to act in heaven.
Zhao Kuangyin is expected to be the emperor, and his good brothers and friends all think that after he becomes the emperor, he can better stabilize the overall situation.
Everyone was willing to help him behind his back, so much so that such a story began to circulate in the streets.
"Immediately inspect the capital, for the Son of Heaven."
In fact, this "rumor" has been spread for a long time. The more "rumors" spread, the more they became true.
Historical records record: After the joint invasion of the Khitan and the Northern Han Dynasty, the Empress Dowager and the ministers decided to send Zhao Kuangyin to resist after discussion.
Zhang Yun said: "It seems that you recruited these soldiers with ulterior motives!" ”
Mei Xiaohan said: "This is an extraordinary moment, of course, extraordinary measures must be taken." ”
Before going to Chenqiaoyi, Mei Xiaohan was going home, and there was still a month before the Chenqiao Mutiny.
There is still time, and I want to replenish more reserves when I go back this time.
Crossing this kind of thing is no joke, and you can't go back and forth. In case of any danger, people walking by the river will always get their shoes wet.
"I want to go back..."
When Mei Xiaohan mentioned home, everyone was silent, which was a topic that everyone was reluctant to mention.
Some people deliberately avoided it, while others seemed very excited.
This winter, everyone is not having a good time, and they are anxious and panicked.
"The general trend of the world is about to change!"
