Chapter 46: Wrapping Up

In the evening, Chen Gang and Gao Pengqi, who came back with a smell of alcohol, all had gloomy faces. After Gao looked at their faces, he didn't ask, but couldn't stop shedding tears. She's completely dead!

Chen Ming returned to his house with a straight face, looking at the cloth tent with his eyes, as if he saw the scene when he returned to the county seat soon after. At that time, the Chen family and now are two worlds completely, and this big house may not have time to live in it in the future. "No one knows what the future holds!"

Who would dare to say that his rebellion would really go smoothly? The rebellion in the middle of Qianlong is a rebellion that makes people disagree. The Green Battalion, which has not yet completely declined, the Eight Banners with several elite troops, and the Northwest Frontier Army, which maintains a strong combat effectiveness, may hang up in that battle by itself!

Chen Ming was a little nervous when the matter came to an end, and it was normal for this kind of failure tendency to appear in his mind. It's like that premarital phobia.

Although God let him cross over, there is a certain 'destiny in me'. No matter how strong the 'Mandate of Heaven' is, it is not without the threat of death!

Mao Taizu, who created the Red Dynasty in his previous life, was full of luck, right? How many times in my life I have encountered danger. In September 1934, he was robbed of his military power and recuperated in an ancient temple. One day, Taizu was talking about "Zhou Yi" with an old local scholar, a farmer named Song Yulai, because he was classified as a rich peasant by the peasant association, he was divided into floating wealth and confiscated land, and this person recorded his hatred on Taizu's head. He held a musket in his hand, hid behind the bamboo forest, raised the gun and aimed it at Taizu's head and pulled the trigger. Fortunately, this shot went blind. Afterwards, Taizu said: "The bullet has nothing to do with me." This is true, Taizu has experienced countless bullets in his life, but the amazing thing is that he has never suffered a single gunshot wound. But what if that shot goes off?

Such a shot is more accurate than a stray bullet, right?

The same is General Zuo, who is at the top of the Red Party, who was killed by a stray bullet; and General Peng, who was also killed by a stray bullet. If these two can live to 55 years to be awarded, the former marshal is guaranteed, and the latter is indispensable to a general, right?

So, there is nothing to guarantee on this battlefield.

There are countless dangers he will encounter in the future, Chen Ming thinks about it now, and from a materialistic point of view, he doesn't dare to guarantee that he will definitely be able to go to the end. But then again, Chen Ming has even encountered this kind of thing, and his self-'idealism' is nothing at all, isn't it?

On a new day, Chen Ming got up very early, but did not go out of the house, but sat on the bed and took out a double-barreled handcuff and played there. This is a new generation of pistols produced by Chen Jiabing's workshop, and now more than 20 pistols have been produced, which can be used for two shots at a time.

Chen Ming didn't know why he wanted to take out this thing to play with, as if holding the handcuff in his hand could give him a different kind of power. He didn't look in the mirror, not knowing that he had taken another big step towards a national treasure. His dark circles were already quite noticeable.

When it was time to eat breakfast, Chen Ming, Chen Gang, and Gao Pengqi looked at each other and laughed. The smile was so bitter.

Chen Gang was going to visit the prison, and Gao Pengqi continued to pull relations. In the heart of this very competent uncle, it is already his greatest effort to leave an estate for the Chen family that can be used for household registration. For Chen Hui's brother-in-law, yesterday's rush has completely dispelled his expectations. I didn't see Chen Gang going to visit the prison today, he didn't go with him?

Chen Ming doesn't blame Gao Pengqi. As he said just now, Gao Pengqi's uncle is very competent. It is commendable that the Gao family can do this step. Connected to the Li family, as well as the Huang family of Tumenji that Chen Gang talked about yesterday, Chen Ming felt very lucky, and the family members and relatives he met after crossing were at least affectionate and righteous. Compared with the 21st century, where materialism is rampant, this time and space are more loving. Although this kind of love is very narrow! Compared to the Guan family, which dismantled each other, this is the most precious thing of the Chen family.

"Tumenji has grandma in charge, with the support of the second uncle and the Huang family, there is no problem at all." After the uncle left, Chen Ming whispered to Gao. "But if you want to fall into the grass, there will definitely be a lot of people who will oppose it. But when this time comes, I can't take care of them. Our family still has 10,000 taels of silver in the old house, and those who are willing to follow will go into the mountains, and those who are unwilling will be given a sum of silver to make up for their losses, so that they can leave quickly. ”

"Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, at the latest, the day after tomorrow, my son will bring someone to the county seat. The afternoon after tomorrow, mother, you will take it and hide in the east of the city. "There is a house secretly bought by the Chen family in the eastern district of Lushan County, and the name is used by another family.

And from the day after tomorrow to the day after tomorrow, this day will be the day that determines the fate of the Chen family!

"Mother. Don't worry about the seventh prince and the fifth uncle. Their family background is good, but they are the branches of the big tree of the Chen family, the Chen family has fallen, how can they survive? It's like fur and fur, if the skin doesn't have hair, it will be attached! ”

"As for Uncle Erbao, don't be fooled by his appearance. Simply dare to fight and kill, Uncle Erbao can't do his current position. He was a smart man, and he should know where his prestige came from. Without the Chen family, who will shelter him from the wind and rain? Do you think Uncle Erbao has not had a grudge in the rivers and lakes over the years? That's the Chen family sheltering him. ”

"There is no Chen family. A few old peasants can take him to the officials and accuse him of selling illicit salt and injuring people's lives! "Chen Erbao has worked hard over the years, and there are not ten lives under his hands, but seven or eight. I don't know how many people have been angry with him and beaten by him.

The seventh duke, the fifth uncle, and even the second uncle all have the possibility of starting over again after leaving the Chen family, but Chen Erbao may not survive for a month without the protection of the Chen family.

"Mother, Uncle Erbao will arrive in the evening at the latest, and the son will visit his father in the afternoon, and then he will go out of the city. Tomorrow, you will send Uncle Nan or Lao Liu to hire a car to send Ren Meng, Zhang Chi, Wu Xizeng, Zheng Hongyu, and Wei Xiuzhi to Tumenji, as well as the families of those white servants, and arrange them in one inn. "When the time comes, we will 'wrap up' up the mountain together.

Fortunately, it is already August now, and in a month or two, it will snow heavily in Ruzhou. With the speed of the Manchu government's response, the most important thing is the urine of the Nanyang Township Soldiers or the Ruzhou Township Soldiers, as long as the Chen family is honest in the 'cat winter', it will not be a problem to survive the first winter safely.

The most important thing is that Chen Ming must ensure that he is just a 'falling grass' and not a rebellion.

For a whole winter, there were several months to train the troops, to make psychological preparations, to get through the initial 'adaptation period', and when the spring of the next year came, even if the Manchus sent troops to encircle and suppress, Chen Ming did not feel anything terrible.
