Chapter Eighty-Eight: Heart-Blowing
Cao Conglong and Chen Jin, Ma Jinbao and others are by no means the same, the former is a loyal minister who wants to turn the overall situation around with his own strength, and the latter is a traitor who dares to be a lackey of a different race in order to seek wealth and glory in troubled times, so they can't talk about the same day at all. These were reconfirmed by Chen Wen when Han Qizheng interrogated the rebel civil officials before.
However, doing bad things with good intentions is often greater than the loss and harm caused by doing bad things with good intentions. Cao Conglong, in order to prosper the Ming Dynasty, should still have loyalty to the Lu Jianguo and the Zhejiang Civil Official Group, so he decided that Chen Wen betrayed the "revolution" with His Royal Highness King Lu as the core. Next, with such a noble motive as "getting rid of traitors from within, and driving out the Tartars from without", it was logical to start a rebellion.
It doesn't matter what you do, the key is to have noble motives. It's like killing people and robbing money, and if you do such a thing, you are not a good person, but if you add a word to help the poor after robbing the rich, you will do the right thing for heaven, and you will immediately be high.
Chen Wen knows very well that people who have been brainwashed or brainwashed by such thoughts, even if they have ruined major things, will firmly believe that they are actually just bad luck, because in their hearts they firmly believe that there is nothing wrong with the motive of loyalty to the monarch and patriotism. Even if he raised the guillotine, Cao Conglong's heart would face it calmly with a "kill and become benevolent" mentality, and even Lu Jianguo would personally order Cao Conglong to be executed.
However, whoever is responsible for what they have done must be held accountable, and this is a truth that Chen Wen believes in!
Since Cao Conglong firmly believed that what he did would definitely benefit Lu Jianguo and the Ming Dynasty, then through the overall deduction, he thoroughly understood that in fact, everything he did was not only foolish and had no possibility of success, but also led to the destruction of the object of his allegiance.
However, such people are generally extremely determined in their hearts, and it is very difficult to really convince them. Since this is the case, then let Cao Conglong know some things that he could not have known in advance, and let these people spend the rest of their lives in remorse.
Stunned like a wooden chicken, Cao Conglong stood there eating and looked at Chen Wen, unable to say a word.
The first time I heard of Chen Wen, it was Wang Jiang's two wins and one defeat at the beginning of last year. A scholar who traveled thousands of miles from the north to Tianjin Wei all the way south to serve the king's division, the son of a hereditary officer from the time of Emperor Gao, was able to train strong soldiers in just a few months in Dalanshan and defeat an elite unit of the Qing army in Zhejiang. Such a person, whether it is these civil officials, or Zhang Mingzhen, the Marquis of Dingxi of the Xunchen Group, everyone thinks that Emperor Gao apparition and sent a famous general of Zhongxing to King Lu.
In the following battle of Zhoushan, Wang Shi was defeated and was forced to flee to Fujian, and learned of the battle in Jinhua Mansion by a very coincidental opportunity. Subsequently, in the admiration of Chen Wen's military methods and his indignation at his previous disrespectful behavior, this military general has become the last straw for the Lu Jianguo group, and it has become inevitable to come to conspire with him. But when he came to Jinhua with confidence, what he saw was a rebellious minister who did not care about the safety of the monarch.
"Since you are disloyal to His Royal Highness the Prison State, then don't blame me Cao Conglong for being unjust."
With this in mind, the rebellion broke out. However, the process and difficulty are far beyond Cao Conglong's imagination, but with the belief that loyal ministers and righteous men are blessed by God, Cao Conglong believes that they will be able to recover Taizhou, and respectfully invites Lu Jianguo to return to Luan Zhejiang to usher in a new climax of fighting against the Manchu Qing Dynasty and Zhongxing Daming.
However, Chen Wen is back. At an incredible time, with incredible speed and incredible tactics, he easily took the city.
In this regard, Cao Conglong could only feel that Chen Wen's military methods were too old and spicy, and the stupid governor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was really incompetent. But he was not discouraged. As a result, it became inevitable to drive coolies and surrender soldiers to contact the guards in Dongyang County who were full of wealth and glory at all costs. As for sacrificing some people, that is also the price that ZTE must pay, and it is not a big deal.
With such a mentality, Cao Conglong set off, Yushan Town is the destination of the first stage, where a large number of warehouses are hoarded, as long as Yushan Town is mastered, a little training of the soldiers, with the garrison of Dongyang County as the arrow, it will not be a dream to sweep Taizhou.
However, with Liu Cheng's betrayal and Chen Wen's more powerful attack, the rebuilt Fubiao battalion was once again defeated. In this regard, Cao Conglong could only sigh that his luck was not good, but he didn't think about what Chen Wen said at all.
The geographical location of Jinhua Mansion, the dilemma of using troops on two fronts, the shortage of soldiers after the rebellion and the urgency of time, underestimating the strength and reaction of the opponent, ignoring the overall strategy, and the lack of secrecy of the grain base......
For all kinds of reasons, if it weren't for Chen Wen to point it out, Cao Conglong wouldn't have known that in less than a month, he had made so many mistakes and omissions in the use of soldiers. But even so, Cao Conglong also firmly believed that he would successfully take Taizhou, join forces with Dingxi Hou to defeat the Qing army, and rejuvenate the Lu Jianguo group.
However, Chen Wen's nonsense, those nonsense are full of pain and regret from the depths of his soul. The moment those prophetic words came out of his mouth, it seemed as if he was spoiling the tragedy that had already happened, or even was bound to happen, in advance, rather than just speculation and babbling.
Although Cao Conglong had little administrative and military experience, he had been in the court of Lu Jianguo for several years. He could see this by asking himself. But those memories that seem to be true come from more than 300 years later, and such unbelievable statements are really absurd.
But if you think about it carefully, this military general is a traitor, so it is impossible for him to suffer for his loyal ministers and regret the defeat of the court. Loyalty and treachery are not mutually exclusive, this is what Cao Conglong is convinced of. But if not, could what he said be true? Could it be that this martial artist is really the chosen one sent back from the future by God to rewrite history?
"The son is silent, and the power is confused! Chen Wen, you have also read the book of sages, and you actually said such nonsense, are you crazy?! ”
His eyes were about to split, and the whole person was as hideous as a frightened beast, Cao Conglong looked like he wanted to tear him to pieces, and then check the truth of everything Chen Wen said piece by piece. However, Chen Wen did not have the desire to continue to explain, not only because it was impossible for Cao Conglong to understand the theory mentioned in "A Brief History of Time", but more importantly, he did not intend to explain it in the first place, he only wanted Cao Conglong's rest of his life to be guilty and self-blamed, and this is the punishment that must be borne for launching a rebellion and ruining the overall situation!
"Believe it or not, I will present your accusations to His Royal Highness, if you are lucky enough to live, you will soon be able to usher in the glorious moment of Li Dingguo's two famous kings."
"Remember, the next month, Li Dingguo forced and killed Kong Youde, the king of Dingnan of the Tartars, in Guilin, Guangxi, and in November, the only remaining Prince of Jingjing, Nikan, of the three kings of the Tartars, was killed by Li Dingguo in Hengyang, Huguang. Two famous kings, the world shook. But since then, frequent infighting and mistrust have wiped out all these efforts and achievements. As for the rest of the matter, I have already said it, and I have no interest in repeating it a second time. (To be continued.) )
