Everyone present was shocked at first, and then turned to joy.

China's great families, since the pre-Qin and Han dynasties, have been transmitted to the Sui for thousands of years.

Since Cao Pi made a compromise with the Gaomen clan, which represented the powerful power of the landlords, in order to usurp the Han Dynasty during the Three Kingdoms, and implemented the Jiupin Zhongzheng system, the family family has developed unprecedentedly in China for more than 300 years.

After hundreds of years of development, there are constantly old families declining and dying out, while new families will also go through several generations or even dozens of generations of development and competition, and finally be consolidated and gain a firm foothold.

Seven super families have been formed in the north, known as the five surnames and seven wangs, and the Taiyuan Wang family is the top family in the seven wangs surnamed Wang.

The ancestor of the Taiyuan Wang family is the crown prince Jin of Zhou Ling King in the Spring and Autumn Period, because the Ling King is mediocre, the prince Jin, who was only fifteen years old at the time, was very smart when he was young, and he assisted the government as a prince at a young age.

He saw that his father was ready to take the method of blocking in order to treat the flood at that time, and he was worried, and he gave a straightforward admonition, citing the failure case of the ancient Dayu when he only blocked the water, and as a result, he angered his father and was deposed as a concubine.

Less than three years after the crown prince Jin was demoted to a concubine, he died of depression, when he was demoted to a concubine, he had predicted that he would go to the place of the emperor within three years, and even decades later, the world saw him soar to become an immortal in the mountain.

Because the crown prince Jin violated Yan Zhizhi and asked for the people's life, he was regarded as the embodiment of justice, and because of his ability to predict life and death and fly immortals, he became a fairy-like figure in folklore.

Prince Jin's son, Zong Zhou, continued to serve as an official in the Zhou Dynasty as an adult, assisting his uncle, King Zhou Jing, the younger brother of Prince Jin, as Situ, and resigned in his old age to retire to Jinyang (present-day Taiyuan).

At that time, people still regarded Zong Zhou as the royal family and called them the royal family, so Zong Zhou changed the surname of Ji to the surname of Wang, and the descendants of the prince surnamed Wang in later generations all thought that the prince who became an immortal was the ancestor of the Taiyuan Wang family.

Taiyuan Wang's family, the successive generations of talents, the Warring States period of the Qin State to destroy the Chu general Wang Qian, the Yan general Wang Ben, later led the northern Qin army to suppress Chen Sheng Wu Guang uprising, and Xiang Yu fought Wang Li, are the ancestors and grandchildren of the Taiyuan Wang family.

Wang Li became the last martyr of the Qin State, died at the hands of Xiang Yu, his eldest son Wang Yuan in order to avoid disaster, moved to Langxi, Shandong, and became another famous family that later crossed the Yangtze River in the south, the ancestor of the Langyu Wang family, and the second son Wang Wei stayed in Taiyuan and inherited the orthodoxy of the Taiyuan Wang family.

The most famous figure of the Taiyuan Wang clan after Wang Li should be Situ Wang Yun in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, because he was loyal to the country, risked his life to kill the traitor Dong Zhuo, and finally died in the hands of Dong Zhuo's rebel generals, becoming a loyal minister through the ages.

And the Wang family is also more carried forward, Wang Yun used his life to earn a meal ticket for hundreds of years for future generations, and the Taiyuan Wang family in the two Jin and Northern Dynasties for hundreds of years in the Northern Dynasties, generation as an official.

When Wang Xuan's grandfather, Wang Shennian of the Northern Zhou Dynasty Qingzhou Assassin History, the Wang family returned to the Southern Dynasty, and Wang Shengbi was the son of Wang Shennian.

When Hou Jing, the Xiongnu general of Southern Liang, rebelled, Wang Seng Biao and Chen Baxian raised troops at the same time, but after defeating Hou Jing, the two comrades-in-arms who fought side by side turned against each other.

Chen Ba first killed Wang Shengbi and several of his sons, and finally established himself as Emperor Wu of Chen and established Southern Chen, while Wang Shengbi's other two sons, Wang Xuan and Wang Fei, fled to the Northern Zhou.

Wang Huaqiang glanced at everyone and continued: "After Wang Xuan and Wang Hao came to the Northern Zhou Dynasty, they had a bitter hatred for Chen Baxian, and they were thinking about revenge every day, but he had no foundation in the Northern Dynasty.

A year ago, when I went to Guzang with the caravan, I happened to get acquainted with him, and I also used some of my connections and intelligence on the Silk Road to help him quell the rebellion, and since then I have befriended him.

Although this Wang Xuan is an official in the northwest, what he never forgets every day is to fight the Yangtze River, destroy Nan Chen, kill Chen Baxian with his own hands, and avenge his father.

Now that Chen Baxian has been dead for many years, and his nephews and grandchildren have become emperors, although it is impossible for Wang Xuan to take revenge with his own hands, his desire to destroy Nan Chen is even stronger.

In my opinion, this time the emperor's campaign against Nanchen will definitely recruit soldiers from all over the world. This king does not need to be recruited, and he will definitely do his best to make his own servants and invite himself to be the vanguard.

The Wang family has been operating in Jiangnan for three generations, and many of Wang Sengbian's old departments are also scattered among the people. And when Wang Shengbi was attacked and killed by his comrades-in-arms, many southerners were sympathetic.

As long as Wang Xuan takes the initiative to ask for the vanguard, he will definitely be able to attract many old subordinates to think that he should respond, and if we follow him to make contributions, it will be much more reliable than following Wang Shiji.

Wang Xuan and Wang Fei were both Han Chinese officials, and there were no strong generals under them, and the eldest brother and third brother's riding and archery martial arts could just come in handy.

Let's think about it, Wang Xuan has the heart to make meritorious contributions, and he also has a local insider who is familiar with the internal situation of the Southern Dynasty, and there are no unscrupulous generals under his command, isn't this the opportunity that God gives us? ”

Wang Huashi pondered for a moment and said, "The second brother means to follow this Wang Xuan and cross the river before the army sets out?" ”

Wang Huaqiang nodded: "That's right, I know that it may be dangerous to do this, but wealth is in danger, Wang Xuan is now just a Sima of Zhongzhou, from a five-grade official, not enough to be a general with troops."

It is impossible for the imperial court to let him, a civil official, be a pioneer, so he will definitely recruit people by himself, smuggle in first, and then find a way to secretly contact the local old ministry after arriving in Nanchen to receive the army. Ah Da, follow Wang Xuangan, this is my Jianyì. ”

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became solemn, and everyone's originally high interest suddenly became low in the face of this huge danger, after all, they smuggled across the Yangtze River with private arms, in case there was no backup, these hundreds of people were not enough for the Chen Dynasty army.

Even if the smuggling is successful, after receiving the army across the river, there is a big question mark whether the imperial court will recognize this merit.

In this unspeakable silence, Wang He finally spoke: "Hua Qiang, is there a more secure way?" For example, is there a way for Wang Xuan to get the emperor's edict to allow him to recruit troops on his own, or even cross the river first. Don't make a bad mistake, but sit on a charge of misdeeds. ”

Wang Huaqiang smiled slightly and said: "The child also met with that Wang Yu at noon today, when he just received news from his family, saying that the emperor urgently summoned him to the palace to play the right.

When he first heard the news of the southern expedition a month ago, he wrote to the emperor, offering the strategy of leveling the south, and also volunteered to recruit troops to cross the river and recruit the old department as a guide.

Since the emperor sent an envoy to summon him into the pair, instead of directly sending an official to arrest him, he recognized his plan, and in the child's humble opinion, he would definitely give him a permission to open the palace and let him play freely, anyway, it would not occupy the military salary and resources of the imperial court.

So the child has never let go of him before, and he has never mentioned this matter in front of Ah Da and his brothers, since he has turned his face with Wang Shiji today, then following Wang Xuan's southern expedition is our best choice. ”

Wang He nodded and asked, "So, we also have to provide financial support to Wang Xuan, how much money are you talking to him?" ”

Wang Huaqiang's eyes were blazing: "At that time, the child was not sure whether our family would follow Wang Shiji or cooperate with him, and promised him before leaving, whether we would join Wang Shiji's account or not, we would give him 100,000 yuan as military funds." Now that we can't go to Wang Shiji's place, I think we have to take the initiative to increase the price to 150,000 yuan. ”

As soon as Wang Huaqiang said this, the two brothers showed disgruntle, Wang Huashi did not speak, but the expression on his face was as distressed as if someone had cut off a large piece of meat alive, and the youngest Wang Huawei also muttered in a low voice: "150,000, so much!"

Wang He closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, opened his eyes, shook his head, sat up straight all of a sudden, his eyes flashed, and the whole person also changed from the sick appearance just now to a spirit: "150,000 is too little, add it to 300,000!"
