Chapter 408: The Prince's Anger

"The weight of the second prince, the style is solid, there is a good yuan, and the kingdom is chaste. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"The soldiers and horses are the governor of Nanjing, who stayed behind to guard Lu Gongming, and the quality of the instrument is far away, and the day is heroic. Wang traces the beginning of the foundation, the establishment of the business, the difficulties of the war, the conquest is not ............, the intention is far away, the government and the opposition are foresighted, it is advisable to take the tripod industry, and allow the guard. He can be made the crown prince. It is located in the East Palace, with the unity of 10,000 years and the heart of the four seas. ”

In the palace of the Han Dynasty in Lushan, Chen Hui listened to the edict of canonization of the crown prince drafted for him by his subordinates, and nodded with satisfaction. Yes, yes, the rhetoric is very gorgeous, and Chen Ming's credit is all credited. "Very good, very good!"

Then he grabbed Wu Xizeng's hand and said, "As soon as you prepare, you must do it strictly and quickly." "The canonization of the crown prince requires a series of rituals, and Chen Naruto has already arrived in Hubei, and will soon be transferred to Xiangyang. I'm about to arrive at Lushan!

"The king can rest assured, and the ministers will live up to the holy hope."

The canonization ceremony of Duke Lu's crown prince does not need Chen Hui's special instructions, and Wu Xizeng will do his best to get things done.

In the past few years, among the old people, he had a shallow relationship with the second generation. That Ren Meng held the Food Bureau, Zhang Chi was the secretary of the military department, Zheng Hongyu and Wei Xiuzhi were all old men from Chen Mingjun, even if Wei Xiuzhi finally jumped out of the logistics system.

In Chen Hui's early years, Wu Xizeng had the least dealings with Chen Ming.

Duke Lu is going to officially become the prince of Chen Han, and the news that Wu Xizeng walked out of the palace gate of the Han Dynasty with his front foot, and his back foot immediately spread out of the palace.

Last month and this month, King Han had a new son and a daughter, although no one in the court's relatives and important ministers said a word, but the breath always became a little strange.

There is no way, Chen Ming's current prestige and prestige are too good and too long, and his power is too big and too prominent. Many people treat others as their own, and they all think that Chen Hui may not always like such a 'great threat' son, and the heavenly family has no father and son since ancient times. But Chen Ming's advantage is untouchable by Chen Hui.

Before, Chen Hui only had such a son, or a son-in-law, and there was no way to choose. But isn't there another doll born now? Chen Hui's age is not too big, and his body is quite good. If you wait for a decade or two, you'll have fun.

People never hesitate to play the worst angle, the darkest psychology, to speculate on others. The difference is that the pro-Lu faction is worried, and the Yuanlu faction gloating.

- Even if Chen Hui can't really shake the status of Chen Ming's successor, King Han has changed his mind, and Chen Ming will definitely have some more trouble.

Even if Chen Hui celebrated Chen Ding's birthday very grandly during this period, it only suppressed this bit of 'darkness' in some people's hearts.

And now as soon as the news of the canonization of Chen Ming as the crown prince spread, when countless people found out that Wu Xizeng was indeed preparing for the canonization ceremony of the crown prince, the faces of some psychologically dark people were flushed. The faint layer of clouds floating above Mount Lu was not left at all.

The only impression left on everyone is that no matter what the public opinion is, the face of King Han has been smiling.

For a while, Li Xiaomei, and even Gao's side, were congratulated by countless people. Gao's was faint, and Li Xiaomei's mood was mediocre.

Isn't it as it should be that her son is the prince and her husband is the prince? Isn't that logical and justified?

Chen Han's world was all fought down by her son and her husband. Chen Ming is the crown prince, as he deserves!

Similarly, this news was quickly sent to Chen Ming.

At this time, Chen Ming had already gone north from Wuhan to Xiangyang.

Not long ago, I just met Robert, Perrier and others in Changsha who were in the big city of Chinese mainland, and now they have a deeper understanding of China's cognition, Wuhan - Wuchang, Hanyang, Hankou, these three cities separated by a Yangtze River and a Han River, the total population of course is not a million people, the economic population of the three cities is still in the recovery period, although the establishment of many factories has brought a new vitality to Wuchang, but the time is still too short, but the total population will not be less than 500,000 people, of which Wuchang and Hankou two cities - Hankou has been elevated to the status of a county and has been included in the Wuchang Prefecture – especially vigorously.

There are about 200,000 Wuchang locals, that is, people with Wuchang hukou, and counting foreigners, migrant workers, and floating population, there are no less than 300,000 people in the whole city. And Hankou on the other side of the river, as a key place in Hubei, merchants and merchants are full of rivers, and their heyday is not inferior to Wuchang. [There are sources that say that there are more than 200,000 households in Hankou, and there are also sources that the population of Hankou reached one million at the end of the 18th century. A million people, according to legend, only London had a million people in Europe at that time, and Paris had only four or five hundred thousand people in 1810.

Of course, the previous war made Hankou suffer a heavy blow, but with the pacification of Hubei, with the stability of the entire southern country, Hankou once again entered the period of erection, all kinds of arts, human beings are different, the land should be rushed, the thoroughfare of the nine provinces, the original salt, dang, rice, wood, flower cloth, medicinal materials six major trades, in addition to the medicinal materials industry is somewhat declining, the others are rapidly recovering. The population has also increased dramatically from 70,000 or 80,000 at one time to more than 100,000 at present.

"This place will become the most important city in central China in the future."

In front of Robert, Perrier and others, Chen Ming drew a circle on the map with a pen, enclosing Wuchang, Hankou and Hanyang together. "Wuhan! These three cities will soon become a whole new city. Its name is Wuhan, as the provincial capital of Hubei Province, and it is also the largest and most important city in the middle of the Yangtze River and even in central China. ”

"If everything goes well, in ten or twenty years, you will be able to step here at will."

Chen Ming took the opportunity to once again reiterate his 'business philosophy' - freedom and openness.

In the afternoon, accompanied by Liu Dezhao, he invited Robert and others to climb the Yellow Crane Tower to enjoy the scenery of the Yangtze River. Nine months ago, he was here to watch the large army of the Fu Han Army that had entered the south of the Yangtze River ride one warship after another, bidding farewell to Wuhan amid the cheers of the people on both sides of the strait and the sound of salutes!

It took less than a year to sweep the south, and this speed is still unbelievable. Just like Zhu Yuanzhang's Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, he swept the Central Plains, North China, and Shanxi in just one year, and captured the capital.

Sometimes the battle is about to start, and it is so overwhelming.

Feng Sheng's forehead will be scolded by countless Manchu widows and young in later generations, and the battle of Changzhou he presided over sounded the real alarm for the fall of the Manchu rule in the south.

……

Drizzling with drizzle, the air is filled with a unique humidity and freshness of the mountain forest. In winter, the mountains and wilderness of Xiangxi are not full of tender green when spring comes, but it can also make people intoxicated by the mist and drizzle in the sky. It's all winter in Xiangxi!

It's hard to see snow falling here, it's more of a continuous rain. Without the majesty of the winter rain, nor the urgency of the summer rain, unhurried, the drizzle spreads between heaven and earth. Clear droplets of water drip from the eaves.

In the mountains and forests in the distance, the mist was filled, and the scene two miles away was completely submerged in the mist. It is so easy and simple that one mountain after another, one mountain after another, and a team of hundreds of people are hidden in the vast mountainous landscape.

Therefore, since ancient times, Xiangxi has been plagued by endless troubles, even in a peaceful and prosperous era.

Luo Tian doesn't have the ability to see the rain of heaven, although he is a native of Xiangxi, but he doesn't have that ability. A group of people went to Lizhou to fight the autumn wind, ready to grab some money and food, and the girls went back for the New Year, but they were waiting for the second brigade of the army in Hunan, and the team of three or four hundred people was broken in half, and finally ran into the mountains.

The clothes of the group were soaked, and many of them were defeated by the cold faces, so they finally touched the mountain in front of them and hid in several connected caves on the mountainside.

After entering the cave, Luo Tian divided his men into four parts, and the one or two hundred bandits were almost disbanded immediately.

The fuel is the half-wet and half-dry fallen leaves and dead branches in the forest, which are ignited by some dry firewood already in the cave, and even dried animal droppings.

In this place, don't be surprised if there is a lot of dry wood or traces of human activity, or even broken bones in a cave deep in the forest. Because there have always been many mountain hunters in this place, no matter how deep the forest is, there will be human footprints to step into, and those natural caves are mostly the best camps for mountain hunters. It's normal to have dry firewood in the cave, but it's not normal to have no dry firewood! There is no need to be afraid if there are bones, but the man is unlucky to be torn and eaten by the beast.

As long as there are no piles of bones in the cave, no foul smell, then all right. Of course, this is to contrast the lonely hunters and mountain people, not the bandits with knives and guns and many people under Luo Tian.

Finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, Luo Tian's mind began to wander around for something else. If it weren't for the old bandit who was walking in front of him and found out that something was wrong, he fired the police in time, and he would have folded in this trip.

This is no coincidence!

Luo Tian didn't think that the Fu Han military had discovered the information first, he felt that he must have been betrayed.

"If you let the master know which good thing you have done, and don't give him a big red robe, Lao Tzu will be a turtle." One-third of the family was folded in the hands of the Fu Han Army, and Luo Tian's heart was bleeding.

"Tian Ye, we can't help but avenge this revenge......"

"Big brother, the fourth child has folded in......"

Bandits will always remember to eat and not fight, and they will always be revenged. Luo Tian, who was beaten hard, was destined to not play with the Fu Han army. But what they need to do most now is to hurry back to their lair while outsiders don't know about it.

As a bandit, the danger of internal strife and internal strife is not less than that of the officers and soldiers outside, Luo Tian only has one or two hundred remnants left, and he was robbed and killed by others, but he is really going to die.

Wangshan ran a dead horse.

This sudden winter rain brought an end to the pursuit that had lasted for two days for the Fu Han army. In the end, Luo Tian brought back the lair of only a few hundred and fifty people, which was really a big loss. But what made him even more chilling was that Luo Tian, who returned to his lair, inquired in many ways, and couldn't find out who sold him?

After entering the winter, more and more scouts of the Fu Han Army appeared in the area of Xiangxi, cooperating with the few local hidden camp forces to spy on the intelligence of the Xiangxi bandit army. Liu Fei sent a detailed piece of information to the Fu Han Army, but the military aircraft was a major event, how could the Fu Han Army only listen to Liu Fei's words?

"We should send more people to this area. Valleys, ravines and caves that can hide from hundreds or thousands of people. Repeat it. "He Erhu knows that it is not right now that the bandits in Xiangxi are exterminated, but at least the areas of Yongding, Sangzhi, and Yongshun must be cleaned up, right? These three places are too close to Lizhou and Changde, if there are a few bloody cases during the Chinese New Year, even if you don't become an official, you will have a bright future, right?

"If you can't touch it, forget it, if you do, whether you can come back alive or not, we can all know."

Drizzle wet clothes, cold frozen people. There is no team that can wander around the mountains and forests on a large scale. The bandits will only be firmly nested in their nests at this time.

He Erhu decided to take advantage of this time and this opportunity to re-check some of the omissions in the places that had been filtered at hand.

The longer the time dragged on, the more pressure there was on him.

Especially after Ben Jinzhong led his troops to retreat into Guizhou, the main enemy faced by the Second Brigade of the Hunan Army became bandits. They suffered a loss because they were small and weak, but they were still weak against the bandits, and it was the Second Brigade that suffered.

Coincidentally, when He Erhu cast the elite scouts in his hands and entered the mountains again, Liu Fei, the giant bandit in Xiangxi who was single-handedly helped by the Fu Han Army, finally made the most important decision in his life.

"What are you afraid of?" In the Baojing County Yali with the smell of blood, Liu Fei, who was carrying a knife in his hand, squinted at several powerful people under his command, as well as more than a dozen bandit leaders who had gathered under him these days.

In the middle of the county government hall, there is a corpse, this corpse was Liu Fei's seat last night, and now it has become a ghost under his knife. This person is the liaison under Liu Fei sent by the Fu Han Army.

Liu Fei cut people over with a knife in the name of this person's 'fine work'.

There were also two bandits kneeling on the ground, which were the little minions that Liu Fei had allocated to the liaison before.

"Chen Han is doing a good big scene now, but no matter how big the scene is, what can they do with us? There were bandits and cottages in Xiangxi thousands of years ago, and no matter how strong the imperial court was, it couldn't wipe us out.

At most, they are a Southern Dynasty. Qianlong Lao'er in the north is their great enemy. How much time and troops did Chen Ming waste on us? With Liu Fei's shouting, the pale faces of the people present gradually became ruddy.

Liu Fei was even happier in his eyes, "That's right." Chen Ming is powerful, he is the number one general in the world, but no matter how powerful he is in Xiangxi, it is useless. In our place, the most powerful thing is not people, but mountains, and the dangerous, complex, and changeable terrain.

Our brothers gather in the Wuthering Mountains and forests, drink wine in big bowls, eat meat in large pieces, and girls and women sleep casually, so happy. But what about Chen Han? Think about the military regulations and military discipline that Ha Dan [stupid] said just now, it's not me Liu Fei who broke everyone's official path, you all think about that rule, can you keep it?

What are the consequences if you can't hold it? ”

"When you violate military regulations and military discipline...... Liu Fei sneered, looking at everyone in the hall with sharp eyes, "The heavy ones lose their brains, and the light ones lose their official positions." Then you will all smile when you see a little official with the size of a sesame seed. Can you bear this anger? ”

"Anyway, Lao Tzu can't keep military rules and discipline, and he can't stand it. Then simply don't want to be an official like Chen Han. ”

"Let's live our happy life in the cottage and in the mountains."

Heroes emerge in troubled times, and heroes create the times! Although Liu Fei didn't want Xiao to think of Chen Han's great deeds, he felt that he could be the king of Xiangxi. He had not six or seven thousand bandits in his hands, but eight thousand bandits, three or four hundred muskets, and more than 2,000 shotguns, and even more earthen guns. There are more than 30 large and small earth cannons, plus more than 10 cannons left over when Ben Jinzhong retreated into Guizhou.

Moreover, Guzhangping is a dangerous place, and the Jinhua Mountain, Lijiadong and other places he operates are even more dangerous. He really didn't believe that the Fu Han army had much effort to fight him in the big ravines.

When the Fu Han army is gone, this Xiangxi is his territory. Liu Fei, who had ambition rising in his heart, was destined not to become a bird in the hands of the Fu Han Army, although he didn't dare to really compare himself with Chen Ming, but he couldn't bear the burst of blushing at Chen Ming in his heart.

The Chen family's previous status was too ordinary and ordinary.

"Lord Samron is right. Chen Han and Fu Han Jun are not the places we should go, the rules of the Chen family are too strict, our brothers are used to being at ease in the mountains and forests, which one is so constrained?

Daqing and Chen Han still have a battle to fight, and they can't take care of us here. This Xiangxi, let's guard it for the Qing Dynasty first. Maybe the Qianlong elder in Beijing City can still give our brother the title of chief soldier, general, and duke. "After Liu Fei was awarded the rank of general, he asked his subordinates to call him 'Shen Rong', and he was not allowed to call him any more if he was a big boss or a flying master.

"At that time, our brothers can also be a loud party in the world! It's worth it to die. ”

"Hu Ba is right. Follow the wolf to eat meat, and follow the dog to eat. But the wolf that eats the meat fed by man is also a dog, and it is still a domestic dog. Why do we people let wild dogs go and be watchdogs? "For those of you who were born as bandits, the word 'free' still carries a lot of weight.

Chen Ming left Wuchang with his team and went straight to Xiangyang along the Han River, not knowing that the suppression of bandits in Hunan had suddenly undergone earth-shaking changes.

The Fu Han army worked hard to feed a dog before, and finally pulled the puppy to the big dog, when the big dog should serve, the dog not only did not help the Fu Han army catch rabbits, but also bit back at the Fu Han army.

And the guarantee of the combat effectiveness of the Fu Han Army, which has always been strictly enforced, has become the biggest reason for this dog's betrayal. Although that's just an excuse!

On the day Chen Ming arrived in Xiangyang, Hunan sent an urgent report that Liu Fei had 'rebelled'. He led the troops to 'sneak attack' Yongshun Mansion City, which was originally a bureau made by both sides, but Liu Fei made the fake come true and really took Yongshun City, and more than a dozen large and small officials under the Yongshun Prefect who had just taken office, as well as more than 200 defenders and hundreds of policemen and city residents were killed. Chen Ming smashed all the green jade paperweights in his hand on the spot.

At boiling point!

White-eyed wolf, it turns out that he regarded a white-eyed wolf as a pastoral dog!

"Liu Fei, damn it!" The good mood along the way was ruined by this news. (To be continued.) )
