Chapter 6: The Folds of the People (II)

The two discussed properly, Zhang Weixin went to Zhong Youpeng to explain the matter of writing "Ten Thousand People's Fold", and Wang Kunjun discussed with Xu Shao'an, Huang Hai, Liang Ziyue, Zheng Zhiwei and others about how many guards the two brothers should bring into the camp and how to deploy the peripheral departments when they went to Zhou Daying to see Chai Rong in a few days - although the crossing crowd was unanimously inclined that Chai Rong would not gamble with the lives of himself and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces and tens of thousands of soldiers, and it would be unfavorable to these two people when Wang Kunjun and Xu Shao'an went to the camp to talk with him, but they always wanted to be safe. If they are safe, they will still make all kinds of preparations carefully to prevent accidents. As the saying goes, "if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what if", in case something really happens, it is far better to have a comprehensive response than to temporarily "cram".

The brothers discussed for a while, and determined how Wang and Zhang would keep in touch with Youzhou City after entering the camp, and how to send a danger warning to Youzhou City in time; After receiving the news, the brothers in Youzhou City how to notify the troops stationed on the periphery, how to command the troops in the city to rush to rescue people, and other countermeasures.

After discussing how to deal with a possible crisis, Huang Hai immediately went to the "Liangyuan" and several people in the periphery to send telegrams or send fast horses to inform them -- the number of radio stations is limited, and it is impossible to equip every group of people to explain the decision here. After chatting a few more words, Wang Kunjun, Xu Shaoan and others stopped talking when they saw that it was not early, beckoned the guards on duty outside, and told him to go to the street to buy some snacks, seasonal melons and fruits and other gifts, ready to use when visiting his father-in-law's family.

Although Han Deyi had always been dissatisfied with his son-in-law since he knew that Wang Kunjun had given Zhong Youpeng the task of contacting the local officials of Youyun to drive out the Khitans instead of himself, Han Deyi had always been dissatisfied with his son-in-law, and before the start of the war, he refused Wang Kunjun's invitation to take refuge in the "Liangyuan" for a while, in case the Khitans found out about the relationship between the two sides and had unfavorable intentions against him. But as a junior, Wang Kunjun didn't take Han Deyi's not too friend Haode to heart. First, after all, the other party is Han Qingwen's father and his father-in-law, Lao Taishan, and the reason why he chose Zhong Youpeng instead of his father-in-law was mainly for the purpose of protecting Zhang Xiaofei. From this point of view, Wang Kunjun felt a little unreasonable in his heart, so as long as Han Deyi's behavior did not endanger the crossing team, he naturally would not embarrass his father-in-law. Second, Han Deyi also made a lot of efforts in the armed capture of Youzhou City by the crossing team, maintaining the normal life order in the city after breaking the city, and continuing the normal operation of the original government agencies, and contributed to the smooth control of Youzhou City by the crossing team. Therefore, no matter how the other party treats him, Yu Gong and private Wang Kunjun should visit each other. In addition, in writing about "Ten Thousand People's Fold", Han Deyi may be able to play a much greater role than Zhong Youpeng. After all, he has been an official in Youzhou City all the year round, and his relationship with the original Youzhou officials is much closer than Zhong Youpeng, a county student who has been idle at home for many years, and it is more appropriate for him to come forward to communicate with those officials.

In general, Wang Kunjun's visit to the Han Mansion was successful and achieved the expected purpose. As the hostess, Mrs. Han has always been very enthusiastic about this son-in-law - Wang Kunjun was the son-in-law who passed the examination and test in person, so she was naturally a hundred satisfied with him. The so-called "mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, and the more she looks at it, the more she likes it", it is estimated that Mrs. Han felt after seeing Wang Kunjun. What's more, now Wang Kunjun is no longer the same as when he first met a few years ago, not to mention that now the "Qingyuan" brothers want wind and rain in the land of clouds, and they are likely to become the lord of this cloud. Not long ago, he led his brother and tens of thousands of soldiers under his command to drive out the Khitans, which was enough to make Wang Kunjun famous in the annals of history - a glory that has been achieved by a few people throughout the ages. …,

As for the son-in-law who didn't let his father-in-law come forward to contact the Han officials and guards in the Land of Clouds, but handed over the matter to Zhong Youpeng, Mrs. Han didn't care too much. On the one hand, Zhong Youpeng is not an outsider, but the brother-in-law of his own master, so why bother so much between relatives. On the other hand, when Zhong Youpeng was running around in the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, the Khitans were still the masters of this land, and if the matter was not known to the Khitans, a person like Zhong Youpeng, who was responsible for liaison everywhere, was likely to be the first to be noticed by the Khitan government, and at the same time the first to be arrested. As a son-in-law, Wang Kunjun did not dare to guarantee 100% that he would win the uprising and that the person in charge of liaison would not be discovered and arrested by the Khitans, so it was reasonable for Wang Kunjun to hand over this dangerous work to Zhong Youpeng, who was a little more distant from him.

However, Mrs. Han is a woman after all, at most she talks with Wang Kunjun for a while before and after the meal, and stays until dinner, and then goes back to the inner house to rest, and hands over her son-in-law to her husband and son to accept. Unlike Mrs. Han's always warm reception, Han Deyi's attitude was slightly cold when Wang Kunjun just came to the door, whether it was when they had dinner together, or when the family sat down to chat after dinner, Han Deyi always maintained a lukewarm state - although Han Deyi knew very well that his son-in-law was likely to become the lord of the clouds in the near future, but the father-in-law Lao Taishan's shelf still had to be served, especially when he was dissatisfied with his son-in-law.

Although Han Deyi was also chatting with Wang Kunjun, he was always in a passive position, and did not take the initiative to mention a topic, or expand and deepen the topic that Wang Kunjun said, but only responded indifferently. Under the influence of his father, Han Qingshu, who is eighteen years old and has been studying in the school, is also very close to Wang Kunjun, the brother-in-law, so that the conversation of the family often appears cold, and Wang Kunjun needs to take the initiative to find some topics to make the conversation between the two sides continue.

In fact, from the bottom of his heart, Han Qingshu has always respected and even admired this brother-in-law who is many years older than himself. Although he was still young when he first met Wang Kunjun, and later did not have much contact with this brother-in-law for various reasons, Wang Kunjun and his brothers braved the hardships and dangers to return to Middle-earth by floating across the ocean from thousands of miles away, and in just a few years, they went from penniless to rich and rich, with huge achievements, but he saw it in his eyes and was deeply impressed. Now his brother-in-law and his group of brothers raised the banner of righteousness and raised the righteous soldiers, drove the invincible Khitan people out of the sixteen states of Youyun, and became a great hero and hero in the eyes of the gentry and people of Youyun. It's just that because his father is present today, no matter what kind of thoughts he has in his heart, he can't show it in front of his father, so as not to cause his father's displeasure. And to control your emotions, the best option is to talk less and communicate less.

One of the Han family's father and son was resentful and refused to talk more, and the other was afraid of causing his father's dissatisfaction and did not dare to speak more, so it is not surprising that the conversation between the son-in-law and the father and son is often cold. Fortunately, this did not last long. As Wang Kunjun gradually introduced the topic to the current form, and sincerely proposed to Han Deyi that he hoped that the other party could come forward and work with Zhong Youpeng to mobilize the officials and gentry of Youzhou City and nearby prefectures and counties to write a "Wanmin Fold" for the "Qingyuan" brothers, so as to urge Zhou Tianzi to allow the "Qingyuan" brothers to open a government and control Youyun's request, especially when the importance and merit of his work of mobilizing Youzhou officials was much greater than that of Zhong Youpeng, who went to contact the local gentry and common people--after all, this "Wanmin fold" It is more reliable and appropriate for the former Youzhou officials who know more about government affairs and related rules to write than by the local gentry and ordinary people, Han Deyi's face, which has always been slightly cold, finally began to ease up, and the words gradually increased. …,

Seeing that his father's attitude had loosened, Han Qingshu, who had suppressed his interest together and felt more and more that this conversation was very boring, also came to his senses, and there were more and more exchanges with his "idol", and the atmosphere in the Han Mansion living room finally began to warm up until this time.

By Han Deyi and Zhong Youpeng, the two locals who are closest to the crossing team in this era, they did their best to do it, with sincere words and sincere feelings, and the "Wanmin Fold" signed and signed by tens of thousands of Youzhou gentry and ordinary people took less than two days to be freshly baked, and was sent to Wang Kunjun, Zhang Weixin, Xu Shaoan and others. Looking at the thick recital, Wang Kunjun and others sighed at the high efficiency of Han Deyi, Zhong Youpeng and others, and at the same time agreed on the candidate, time and method of sending the "Ten Thousand People Fold" to Chai Rong.

So, on the afternoon of the completion of the "Ten Thousand People Fold", the "Petition Group" composed of more than 100 local gentry, elders, and officials appeared in front of the camp of the Later Zhou Army, and presented the "Ten Thousand People Fold" representing the voice of the local people in Youzhou to today. And the central meaning of this twist and turn is only one, that is, I hope that the imperial court will reward meritorious deeds, and the "Qingyuan" brothers who saved the people of Youyun in fire and water and expelled the Khitan barbarians from the land of Youyun will be in charge of the sixteen states of Youyun. Not only that, the representatives who were responsible for handing over the "Wanmin Fold" to the imperial court also told the officials sent by Chai Rong to receive the "Wan Min Fold" that this fold was only the beginning of the expression of the hearts of the people of Youyun, and that the "Wan Min Fold" in Mingzhou and counties outside Youzhou that supported the "Qingyuan" brothers as the lord of Youyun was now on the way to be delivered, and it would soon be inherited in front of the Son of Heaven.

Soon after the "Youzhou Gentry People's Petition Group" left the Houzhou army camp, Wang Kunjun and Xu Shaoan received Chai Rong's will and summoned the two to enter the camp the next morning.
