82 Faith
Hu Guang saw it in his eyes, and a smile appeared on his face, unlike Hu Kuan's almost hysterical laughter because of despair, he was the kind of confident smile.
"Big brother, sister-in-law, if I tell you, this Ming Dynasty will not last for twenty years, and it will inevitably perish. Do you think I'm having a nerve? ”
Hu Kuan and Ulan glanced at each other, and then turned their heads together to look at the relative who had been raised since childhood, and their eyes were as worried as if they saw a madman.
Hu Guang naturally expected it, he still infected them with a smile, and at the same time continued: "I don't say that the princes and generals are the prime ministers, but rather there is a kind of it. Big brother, sister-in-law, do you think we can't survive, and the rebellion is an isolated case, or just a very isolated case? ”
Hu Kuan and Ulan didn't go far away, and everything they knew was similar to that of Fugu. Every winter, there will inevitably be a group of familiar faces that will never be seen again.
Hu Guang asked about what they knew, so Hu Kuan shook his head and answered his question.
"That's it, you can't live, I can't live, as long as someone takes the lead and rebels, then other people who can't live will inevitably follow. It's all dead anyway, so it's better to fight the fuck, isn't it? ”
"Our Fugu has rebelled, and Ansai will also rebel, as well as other places such as rice fat. Let's talk about the big one, we have rebelled in Shaanxi, what about the provinces of Shanxi, Ningxia, and Henan? ”
"There are so many rebellions in so many places, the imperial court will send troops to suppress it. Since you send troops, you need to have food, right? But big brother, let me ask you, how long has it been since the military salary of the imperial court has been paid, and when has it been paid in full? ”
Hearing Hu Guang's question again, Hu Kuan was speechless. If you can pay the army, you will not come out of the army. When there was a riot that night, he couldn't incite the Fugu garrison to rebel with him.
As for the full amount? Hu Kuan sneered in his heart, he had never heard of a full military salary!
"As the saying goes, the emperor is not short of hungry soldiers. If food and wages are not paid, how many troops will be willing to die? ”
Listening to Hu Guang talk about things he was familiar with, he analyzed them one by one. For some reason, Hu Kuan suddenly felt that rebellion was not such a desperate thing.
"Also, the ** and incompetence of local officials, I believe I don't need to say this, the eldest brother should also know it!"
Hu Guang said, Hu Kuan involuntarily nodded slightly. Needless to say, this is naturally true.
When Hu Guang said this, he noticed a positive change in the mood of the eldest brother and sister-in-law. He paused slightly, and then continued: "There are some things that you may not know, big brother and sister-in-law, but those things are also destined for the Ming Dynasty." ”
As soon as they heard this, Hu Kuan and Ulan were a little curious, staring at Hu Guang and waiting for his next words.
"The magistrate of the Ming Dynasty, the minister of the court and the central government will definitely not be better there, otherwise it will definitely not let the local erosion be like this. In other words, the Ming Dynasty has been completely saved from top to bottom. ”
Hu Guang can only say this, deducing from the local level to the DPRK and China. Otherwise, it would surprise them and be unbelievable to directly tell what the later generations heard about the Donglin Party in the DPRK and China.
"Second, the Ming army in the Northeast, which had already been defeated, had no strength to fight back and lost the entire Northeast. Now he can only retreat in the city, relying on the dangerous places of Shanhaiguan to defend, and he has long lost the courage and ability to fight with Jianyu. ”
"In this case, what will happen if Jianyu makes a detour to Mongolia and avoids Shanhaiguan, and attacks Guannei?"
"What? A detour? Impossible, right? Hu Kuan was shocked, imagining that if Jianyu wanted to rush into the pass, even if he had been on the battlefield for a long time and had seen too much about life and death, he would have to change his color.
"What's impossible, as long as there are traitors who are familiar with the geography of Guannai to lead the way, this kind of thing will happen sooner or later!" Hu Guang remembered that this seemed to happen at the end of next year, but he couldn't say it directly, after all, first, there were still variables, and second, it was too appalling to say it directly.
Hu Kuan is also a veteran in the army, and after thinking about it carefully according to the second brother's words, he was silent.
"The war in the Northeast is not going on, will the salary increase or decrease? Who will come out of this salary, and what will be the final result? ”
Hu Guang's questions came out one by one, and Hu Kuan's back broke out in a cold sweat, as if he was the Chongzhen Emperor who wanted to solve these problems.
However, Wulan did not have this awareness, and after hearing these words of the uncle, he asked in surprise: "That is to say, the world is in chaos, and the time has come to change the dynasty?" ”
If this is really the case, Ulan thinks that maybe there will be a way out of the rebellion, that is, there is hope to live.
Hu Guang smiled and nodded slightly.
Before Ulan could react, Hu Kuan suddenly sighed heavily and said: "The world is in chaos, and it is us ordinary people who suffer!" ”
The eldest brother has a compassionate heart, which is good! Hu Guang thought in his heart and said, "Big brother, the reason why I say so much is to let you have a bottom in your heart. Don't be blindly pessimistic, be prepared to fight your way through this troubled world. As long as we are strong enough to pity the common people, we will have the ability to save them. ”
Hu Kuan's expression was solemn, he looked at his younger brother's eyes, and nodded vigorously, indicating that he had understood Hu Guang's intentions.
"Big brother, having said that, when you are working hard to improve your strength now, you must also beware of Wang Jiayin and them. As the saying goes, you can't have the heart to harm others, and you can't have the heart to prevent people. ”
Hu Kuan listened, hesitated slightly, and finally nodded and said, "Okay!" ”
Hearing the eldest brother's promise, Hu Guang felt that his words were not in vain. He nodded with satisfaction and continued: "During the time I was away in Fugu, the eldest brother wanted..."
"Wait, second brother, didn't you say that the eldest brother asked you to go to Yan'an Mansion, probably for another purpose? Otherwise, don't go at all! Hu Kuan interrupted Hu Guang's words and said with a frown.
"Yes, uncle, you have become so powerful, you can just help your brother." Wulan stood behind Hu Kuan, stretched his neck and leaned over and said.
When Hu Guang heard this, he smiled and explained: "Does Wang Jiayin have ulterior motives? That's just my guess. But one thing he is right is that the so-called spark can start a prairie fire. There is an incident on the Fugu side, and other places are following the incident, only in this way can the Fugu side be a lot safer. ”
"I just had a dream, and it seems that I have gained knowledge, but in reality, I don't know what it is. It is still necessary to go out and take a look, help Gao Yingxiang get up, and check how to go in the future. Moreover, only when I go out, can I know if Wang Jiayin has other intentions. ”
Hu Guang knew that if the Ming army counterattacked with all its might, the peasant army would definitely not be able to resist it, or at least it would have to move its nest. However, he was not at all sure where to establish a base area.
Although this matter seems to be in no hurry, for him who is bent on a great cause, the sooner it is settled, the better.
