Chapter Seventy-One: Information [Seeking Collection]
"Oh, oh......, oh, oh......"
"Baby, Daddy's Baby......"
In November, Chen Ming returned to Tiezhai, and his eldest son has been almost 20 days old. The child is no longer what it was when he was born, his appearance has grown, white and tender, and his eyes are black.
Li Xiaomei was in confinement, looking at Chen Ming's baby holding her son, and smiled very happily.
Heavy snow closed the mountain, and the Green Battalion and the militia returned to their respective homes. The crisis of the Chen family has passed, and then Chen Ming will be able to accompany her and her mother in Tiezhai for a while.
Dozens of heads were hung on the head of Lushan County, and the news that the main force of the Chen family was destroyed really made the people of Lushan County believe it to a certain extent. Because this is what the government said, because the government took out dozens of heads. Those people and volunteers who knew about the matter all honestly shut up, and the real information in Lushan was only known by the gentry and landlords on the heads of the people.
Tumenji seems to have returned to the embrace of the Chen family. But many, many farmers in Lushan County thought that the Chen family had been wiped out.
Didn't you see that the green battalion soldiers and the militia have been withdrawn, the heavy snow will close the mountain and kill the remnants of the Chen family, otherwise the Chen family will definitely eat the knives of the officials and soldiers.
There are even many people who secretly scolded the Ruzhou camp for being ruthless, the Chen family rolled so many people up the mountain, and the Ruzhou camp cut off dozens of heads of the old and young masters of the Chen family, and they didn't know whether those heads were Chen or not, but the people who were wrapped up the mountain by the Chen family didn't have any news. Many people in Lushan County think that they were slaughtered by the Ruzhou camp.
When the news reached the Ruzhou camp, Xu Shilian and other officers wanted to cry.
With the dispersal of the militia and the withdrawal of the Ruzhou battalion, Tumenji, which returned to the hands of the Chen family, also flourished. Because this 'peace negotiation' was a guarantee made by the state government, the county government, and the Ruzhou camp, some gentry and landlords such as the Xu family who knew the truth returned to Tumenji as businessmen in just a few days.
Renting a house, opening a shop, in the blink of an eye, the sound of swords, swords, guns, and cannons seems to have become a thing of the past.
The Chen family exchanged large quantities of high-quality iron and iron utensils for salt, grain, cloth, cotton, and so on. Although there are many, many more in the Chen family's inventory, of course they will buy if they can 'buy' it. Even the Xu family and others secretly wanted to buy guns, guns, knives, and soldiers, and the Chen family was willing to sell them in small quantities.
"Dad, are you really relieved? The magistrate of Lushan County is still Changrui's dog official. This person is ...... with our Chen family" Chen Ming's positioning of Chang Rui in his mind was the word 'insidious', and the Chen family almost fell into a place of no return. "Dad, if you don't get rid of this person, I can't let go of 10,000 people." Chang Rui is still a flag man. The devil knows if there is a big deal behind it!!
After making a peace agreement with Xu Shilian, Li Zhao and others, the Chen family father and son also knew why their father's plan at the beginning went bankrupt. They were too ruthless to the militia under the Phoenix Stage, and the militia that suffered was still a volunteer soldier in the capital county of Ruzhou. This in itself has a pressure on Wang Jun and Li Zhao.
Of course, the most important thing is that the militia is not the ultimate force in Ruzhou. The government still has the Ruzhou battalion, and if the militia is gone, will the Ruzhou battalion still fail? The soldiers of the Great Qing Dynasty. In addition, in order to shirk his responsibility, Li Zhao put the words "far-reaching and ill-intentioned" on Chen Hui's head, and also used silver to make a dot in the governor's yamen, and the current governor of Henan, Asiha, immediately ordered the Chen family to be killed, and the Ruzhou battalion came over.
In the whole incident, the Chen family underestimated the influence of artillery. In a word: the government can not care about shotguns, but it cannot tolerate the existence and proliferation of artillery among the people.
"Chang Rui, this dog official, how can my father not hate him to the bone. But let's ...... now," Chen Hui put down the teacup in his hand, "why don't we care about Chang Rui now, and we can't do anything about him." Otherwise, what do you want the state government and the Ruzhou battalion to think? "When the two sides negotiated peace, the Chen family also promised not to seek revenge with Chang Rui, and the two sides were clear. It was on this premise that peace was established bilaterally.
Of course Chen Ming knew this, but he just didn't feel at ease with Chang Rui. Chang Rui's insidious ruthlessness mixed with the impression of the Eight Flags that never lingered in his mind, and it was really hard for him to believe that Chang Rui would die down.
Aren't those uncles and two masters all revenge for 10,000 years?
And the identity of Chang Ruiqiren really put a lot of pressure on Chen Ming. In my Qing Dynasty, as a first-class citizen, the Eight Banners Masters, their abilities are immeasurable. The ghost knows that once Changrui broke out, will it turn everything upside down again?
Chen Hui was a little silent, he knew what his son meant. But with the current identity of the Chen family, it is not easy to send people to set up points around the county, or even in the entire Ruzhou.
The Chen family is just a small hero, and it can only shrink in the northwest corner of Lushan County, where did the Chen family come from so many trustworthy people? Besides, the Chen family's contact with the outside world has not yet been fully developed, not to mention anything else, those Chen family members who run in eastern Henan, Hubei, Anhui, and even Shandong will have to completely restore contact at least until the spring and summer of next year, and Chen Guang. Now Tiezhai only knows that Chen Guang is in Xuzhou, and the specific foothold is completely unknown, and it will take time to get in touch.
After Chen Guang's accident at the Chen family, he was given the task of grasping the whereabouts of the Chen family's fugitives, and at the same time, set up some hotels, restaurants, and inns in western Henan and northern Hubei as much as possible as resettlement points to inquire about information and liaison, and to receive the second batch of Chen family's fugitives in winter.
If you want to build an intelligence network in Lushan and even the whole of Ruzhou, Chen Guang is a point that cannot be bypassed.
He held in his hand the addresses of the Chen family's fugitive children, as well as a considerable amount of money. The Chen family's turnover in Zhoujiakou is not a small number. There is money in hand, and it is impossible for the children of the Chen family who have fled to really cut off from the Chen family here, and after a period of time, these people will become the basis for providing reliable manpower for Chen Guang.
Now that two months have passed, to what extent Chen Guang can develop, Chen Hui and Chen Ming dare not guarantee that they can be used to set up a few dark spots in Ruzhou, which is definitely within his ability.
"I'm not asking for any secret information, either. It is to be the most public, and the government cannot keep it secret. ”
"The Ruzhou battalion can't take us, if Chang Rui wants to make a moth, the Henan Governor Yamen will only transfer the people of Nanyang Town. You can't hide it from a large army, and that's what I want. "Also, the people of Nanyang Town are not only in Nanyang Mansion.
The Chen family was reminded by the Ruzhou battalion last time, and hundreds of soldiers led more people to drive all the way from the state city to Lushan, but no news reached Tiezhai, which was too passive.
"Can't do it, can't do it. The faces of the Chen family can't show up in Lushan, and people with foreign surnames can't be completely trusted. I'll wait until I find your twelfth uncle. ”
