Chen Chao did not see the killings on the river beach in the name of revenge. He had fallen ill the night before, had a fever, and occasionally talked nonsense. Regarding the details of that killing, he still learned from Chen Shu's mouth, and he knew that on that occasion, his niece was absolutely indispensable.

These days, Chen Chao attended Chen San's funeral except for his illness, and he didn't see ordinary guests when they came to the door. Long Qian came with his senior officers at least three times, and only once was he "allowed" to enter Chen Chao's bedroom, and only a few words of condolence. In You Shi's view, Chen Jiaya's big change is a huge blow to her husband.

"But the misfortune of a gentleman is not necessarily a blessing; The villain seeks the blessing of the non-blessed, and it is not a disaster, which is also a natural principle. ”

Chen Chao closed the history of the new five dynasties in his hand and pondered these words of Ouyang Xiu. In fact, he did not systematically read the official history books, such as the official 24 histories, he only purchased the "Historical Records", "Han Shu", "Later Han Book", "Three Kingdoms", "New Tang Dynasty Book", "New Five Dynasties History" and "Ming History". Among them, in addition to the "History of the Ming Dynasty", the most diligent is the "History of the New Five Dynasties", as for the "Historical Records" and "Book of Han", because of the long age, he is more used as a literary work, especially to appreciate the writing of Taishi Gong, many chapters can be recited. However, taking history as a mirror, he felt that it was not as good as the "History of the Ming Dynasty" and the "History of the New Five Dynasties", although the "History of the Ming Dynasty" was compiled by this dynasty, which inevitably had emotional overtones.

The reason why Chen Chao often recites "The History of the New Five Dynasties" is not to examine the changes of dynasties in the past 50 years, right and wrong, but to study and taste the comments written by the author.

The above paragraph, contained in volume forty-two, is Ouyang Xiu's comment on Zhao Li's misfortune because of his relationship with Zhu Wen. Zhao Li, with his own cleverness, secretly greeted Zhu Wen in exchange for his descendants to enjoy glory and wealth, and seemed to be seeking blessings and blessings, but the Houliang regime did not apply benevolence and righteousness, and soon perished, and Zhao Li's family also suffered disasters. That's why Ouyang Xiu had this discussion.

The Mengshan army occupies Zhuangzi, Long Qian respects himself, the people of the village see it in their eyes, and the other Zhuangzi are also very clear. Since the Mengshan army was stationed in Zhengjiazhuang, Zheng Jing needless to say, it was Xiao Guanyu, and the loss of land and goods was extremely heavy. He alone was not disturbed in any way. Long Qian, as the leader of the Mengshan Army, came to the house more than once as a guest, smiling and smiling, like family. As for the establishment of an autonomous committee, inviting himself to be the director pushed him to the forefront. Chen Chao still hasn't fully understood Long Qian's intentions, what does he like about himself? He is just a farmer in the countryside, and the aura on his head has long lost his color. What does he get by pushing himself out?

Comparing Long Qian to Zhu Wen, not to mention the comparison of morality, only to talk about status, the difference between the two is incomprehensible. Long Qian is just a horse leader, and there are only more than a thousand elite soldiers under him, how can he compare with Zhu Wen, who was the commander of the festival in the late Tang Dynasty? But he also felt that it was unfair and inappropriate to treat Long Qian as an ordinary ringing horse. If he is a strong man who has been in trouble for a long time, Chen Chao should not take it seriously at all. Relying on the high mountains and dense forests, the terrain is steep, and the houses are robbed, and it is difficult to escape the end of destruction. But Long Qianshe was Mengshan, led the army to occupy such a piece of territory, paid attention to the people's livelihood, strictly disciplined the army, and looked like a big event. And he tried several times, but he refused to say it directly.

Now, the problem is complicated. Long Qian's Mengshan army defeated the advance of the official army twice in a row, which not only brought a huge disaster to Chen Jiaya now, but also brought a huge hidden danger to his own future.

Chen Chao thought more than once that if the strongman holding the calf occupied Zhuangzi, as long as he avoided the disaster of the ringing horse, the government would not pursue anything. But now it's completely different. Long Qian set up an autonomous committee, Long Qian recruited troops in ten miles and eight townships, and Long Qian blatantly avenged the people and slaughtered the officials and prisoners, these things put him in a situation from which he could never recover__

Hearing Chen Shu talking in the courtyard, Chen Chao called his niece over, "What did the neighbors say during this time?" ”

"Naturally, I am grateful to Mengshan Junbei. Who's in charge but them? ”

"However, have you thought about it, if there is no Mengshan army, the officers and soldiers will come to our mountain nest when they are full? Well? ”

"You can't say that, everything is related, Mengshan Army doesn't come, maybe it's holding the calf. The reason why there is the Mengshan Army is because of the fault of the imperial court. ”

"Did Long Qian teach you all these words?"

"No, it was Commander Long who spoke to the people of the Autonomous Council in class, and he talked a lot, but I didn't understand it, and I can't remember it all."

"What is the fault of the imperial court? He must have spoken, right? ”

"Well, a lot. I just remembered that forty years from now on, there will be constant famines, and floods alone will occur almost four times a year. In Shandong Province, there was a major disaster last year, and the Yellow River broke through in Dong'e, drowning many people, but there were many more people killed than this time. There was also a strange famine a few years ago, in Shanxi Province alone, millions of people starved to death! Uncle, is this true? ”

"It's true. Last summer, the Yellow River did flood Shandong, and the governor at that time was Zhang Rumei, who said that the severity of the disaster and the breadth of the disaster area were also rare in recent decades. What else did he say about this? ”

He said that it was the responsibility of the imperial court to control the river, provide relief to the victims, and let the people under his rule live a peaceful life. But the court did not do well. In fact, there is a better way, that is, it could have been avoided by disaster. ”

"What a big breath!" Chen Chao seemed to have forgotten that the object of conversation was his niece, "Who can take care of God's affairs?" ”

"Managed. He said, for example, if you build a canal or a reservoir, well, you can call it a reservoir to prevent floods and droughts. He said, this is called water conservancy construction."

"Reservoir?"

"That's what he said, I don't understand. I thought maybe what he said was true. You see, didn't he really bring the water of the Chang River? ”

"Well, Shu'er, during this time, you have always been soaking in Zhengjiazhuang, what kind of person do you think, Long Qian is?" Chen Chao's attitude today is very gentle.

"He's a man with great skills__" Chen Shu's eyes flashed, "I feel that he is more knowledgeable than his uncle." Originally, he thought that his uncle was the most learned person in the world, but now Chen Shu reversed this view, "It is the method of bookkeeping, and the method given by Commander Long surprised them." Luo Xiucai admired it very much, and said that he was a great talent in the economic world__"

"Is it economic? Bookkeeping alone is not economical. I kind of understand that force is the most important thing. ”

"Yes, yes, that day he drank with Xiao Bobo, Luo Xiucai and others, and he said that only in the barrel of a gun can power come out__As long as the Mengshan army is here, the official army will not be able to enter the base area."

"Anything else?"

"I think he's a good guy. He is the commander of the Mengshan Army, and he is the big boss. The food and clothing are exactly the same as those under his hands, and there is no frame at all__"

Before the treacherous and evil in history gained power, which one was not disguised like Wang Mang? If it weren't for him, the Mengshan army would not have been defeated in a row. But Chen Chao was reluctant to say this to his niece. He regarded Chen Shu as his own, and didn't want her to leave more darkness in her heart. However, now there is no room for the family to live in paradise.

"Remember what I taught you about hillside sheep?" Prosperity, the people suffer, death, the people suffer. 'In the midst of the rise and fall, the people are the most miserable. This is also a catastrophe for our ten miles and eight towns__Like your third uncle, who has you ever provoked in your life? Chen Chao closed his eyes in pain, waved his hand, and motioned for his niece to go out.

Chen Shu left, You Shi came in, she wondered that her husband no longer cared about her niece, "Master, you don't talk about Shu'er, the eldest is not a big girl, the price is crazy all day long, let the neighbors say __"

Chen Chao motioned for his wife to sit down, "Shu'er just said that she thinks Long Qian is a person with great skills, what do you think?" ”

"I'm a woman, how can I know what's going on outside?"

Shu'er said simply. This person is unfathomable, and it is by no means something that can be summed up by the word 'great ability'. If you were born in troubled times, it would be__" He was going to name a few big figures in history, but his wife didn't understand, "Ah Luo, if I don't care about Shu'er, I can't control it." Didn't you see that the villagers who were originally honest and dutiful were all fascinated by the instigation of Long Qian and his gang? Even the honest tailor Sun went to be a soldier, and even Zheng Jing's wife and daughter became a female soldier of the Mengshan Army, this world is really going to be chaotic. ”

"I'm just worried that the master is too deep," You Shi lowered his eyes, "What kind of committee errand, the master should resign." This time Chen San was damaged, and the family could no longer withstand the toss. Also, Shu'er always runs to Zhengjiazhuang every day, which is always bad__"

"Arlo, do you know how I feel right now? It's like the sky is about to fall, and no matter who it is, it's hard to support it with one hand. The Mengshan army has become a climate, and the next few steps, if you go well, you may not have a good future, if you don't go well, it will also be our fate. As for Shu'er, you don't care, this child's temperament is completely different from Xian'er, and she is very high-spirited, and she doesn't look down on ordinary husbands. Long Qian and his gang opened a window for her, so that she could see the things outside the villa, this window, you can't close it, and I can't close it. Fortunately, Long Qian is strict in governing the army and upright, but there is nothing to worry about. I have observed the female soldiers under Long Qian's command, and they are really not harassed by the men. It's unbelievable. The army is so tightly organized, and I have never seen it in the history books. You tell Shu'er, if Long Qian is free, invite him to come over, I have something to say to him. ”
