Chapter 156: Contradictions intensify

"The Lin family can't move!"

Chen Wu knew that it was useless to explain the reasons to Wang Huifang, so he didn't say much, but just firmly stated his attitude. △, other hostile aristocratic families, everyone can divide and rob, but the Lin family can't.

Of course, those troops in the Lin family's mansion, Chen Wu will find a way to make them no longer a threat.

"Why can't the Lin family move?"

Zhou Naichun, Cao Rui and others didn't understand it very much, and they subconsciously suspected that Chen Wu wanted to monopolize the Lin family's wealth.

Seeing Wang Huifang looking at him with the same suspicious eyes, Chen Wu was helpless, revealing a look of "lack of vertical power and conspiracy", and said: "The Lin family is one of the eight major lords of the empire, and it is a real top family. If you move them, it is equivalent to being the enemy of the entire world's gate valve family. Do you really know what that means? ”

Even when the Qianyuan Empire was at its peak, it only slowly suppressed and weakened the power of the family, and did not really eradicate it. Of course, the eradication of these families will also be replaced by new interest groups. If a stubborn family kills the past, it is no different from being the enemy of the whole world. But the more important reason is that the power of the family is too terrifying, and it is deeply rooted and ubiquitous in this eastern continent.

Ordinary small aristocrats and families, if they move, they will move, and no one will care. But at the level of the Eight Great Valves, moving is equivalent to stabbing a super-sized hornet's nest!

Even the Qianyuan Empire didn't dare to do it, Chen Wu naturally wouldn't touch it.

Wang Huifang is of course very jealous of the family. However, he is not a traverser after all, and he does not know enough about this force. In his opinion. The Lin family is the eight major valves. Strong enough, right? Or was it defeated by them?

Thus. The Maison is not as scary as it seems.

The fact of breaking Wu'an gave Wang Huifang the confidence to attack the Lin family, and he didn't want to let go of this tempting piece of fat that was enough for him to eat. Seeing that Chen Wu refused to let go, he was dissatisfied, and sneered: "General Chen, I respected you before for daring to be the first in the world and raise troops to fight against the tyranny of the empire, so I formed an alliance with you." Unexpectedly. That's all your ability and courage. Wu An was defeated, but he was frightened by the false name of the Lin family, and he did not hesitate to betray the interests of our coalition army to contaminate the other party. It's despicable to do that. ”

Chen Wu scoffed at Wang Huifang's words and only responded with two words.

Ignorant!

This undisguised contempt, coupled with irreconcilable differences between the two sides, made the atmosphere on the field a little more gunpowdery. Seeing that it was impossible to persuade these people to change their minds, Chen Wu sighed secretly and said undoubtedly: "As long as the Taiping Army is in one day." No rebel army will be allowed to enter the Lin Mansion for a single step! ”

Wang Huifang was furious and sneered: "I can understand that. Is General Chen's remark a threat? ”

"Whatever you want!"

Chen Wu is-for-tat, this is a matter close to the bottom line, and it is impossible for him to back down.

If they really let them break through the Lin Mansion, a share of this bad debt must be recorded on the head of the Taiping Army and him Chen Wu. Beating the Lin family will certainly make them grow in strength in a short period of time, but this will also make him a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh of the major families. Maybe Chen Wuwo is on this one-third of an acre, and other gate lords will not take the initiative to find him, but in the future, as long as he exposes his ambitions a little and wants to replace the empire, other gate valve families will encircle and suppress him at any cost.

or contribute money and efforts to support the empire to counter the rebellion; If the center of the empire has been eroded, then build up its own armament.

Although the Lin family seems to have only 800 generals, it is only because of the taboo of avoiding the empire. If you don't have any scruples, give them a month, and you can arm 10,000 people; Give them half a year, and you will be able to pull up two divisions; Give them three years to form an army of 100,000 men!

Any person, any force, will feel powerless in the face of such an enemy.

Chen Wu was not the Red Dynasty before the time crossing, and he did not have the fearless courage to sweep the universe, break a qiē, and reopen the world, so he could only try his best to avoid that kind of situation.

In the end, the two sides broke up unhappily.

After Longshan City almost fought because of the Hutong Light incident, this was the second time that the conflict between the Good Friends Association and the Taiping Army intensified. At that time, the two sides still had the common goal of Wu'an, and they were still able to suppress the contradictions and coexist temporarily. Now that Wu'an City has been broken, the external pressure has disappeared for a short time, and the cooperation between the two sides, which is already in the same bed, is afraid that it will come to an end.

said that it was an unhappy parting, but in fact, it is already the most euphemistic description.

The moment he got up to leave, Chen Wu had a premonition of the final result, and Wang Huifang also had a determination.

In several battles, Chen Wu's force became stronger and stronger, which made Wang Huifang deeply jealous. If he continues to develop like this, Wang Huifang feels that his good friend will be completely suppressed by the other party sooner or later. What prompted him to make up his mind was that Chen Wu had committed public anger this time, including small forces such as the Little Knife Society, ** Gate, and Chang Shengjun, all of which were on his side.

With the common interests of the Lin family, Wang Huifang can unite them and act against the Taiping Army together.

However, when it comes to actually doing it, you have to pick a suitable time.

Now that Wu'an City has not been completely pacified, the remaining forces of the family are gathering in the Lin family waiting for an opportunity. rashly fought with the Taiping army, even if he won, I am afraid that he will lose both, and in the end he will cheapen those families.

………

"Lord, Wang Huifang is only afraid that he is going to kill him."

After following Chen Wu and walking a few dozen steps, Yuan Xingwei thought for a moment and said his inference, asking Chen Wu to pay attention to the fact that the other party might tear the covenant and turn his face.

Chen Wu knew that Yuan Xingwei had only joined, and many things were not clear, so he told him about the disputes caused by a hundred crossbow arrows in Longshan, and concluded: "It's not a day since the Good Friends Association wanted to do it. ”

"I see."

Yuan Xingwei was stunned.

The two sides of the relationship almost had a big fight more than a month ago. With this conflict, it is no wonder that Wang Huifang's attitude is so resolute.

In this way, it is likely that the general has already had a way to deal with the Good Friends?

"I'm not in a hurry to do this."

Chen Wu waved his hand, he never saw the Good Friends Association as a real threat: "Wang Huifang is also a little clever, and he won't dare to mess around for a while. Of course, we still have to have the necessary precautions, and send someone to keep an eye on it secretly. When you find an opportunity, you will strike first and try to catch them all. ”

Yuan Xingwei roughly thought the same way, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but feel that he had the same feeling as a hero, but then he was a little depressed. He has always served as a staff member, and he prides himself on being an excellent adviser, but in the short time he has known Chen Wu, it seems that the other party can think of any problem. Although it is a good thing that the Lord is too wise, it will inevitably make his subordinates have a sense of superfluity that they have nowhere to work.

Fortunately, there are many facts that the rebels have to be busy now, and they are in special need of qualified personnel.

In Yuan Xingwei's slight loss, Chen Wu immediately arranged a new task for him.

"The current political system of the rebel army has not yet been established, so for the time being, like Shi Xianqian, you should first serve as a staff officer of the army. The position is virtual, and the authority of the management is very broad. For now, I'll give you two things. First, contact the branch of the Longhe Chamber of Commerce and the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce in Wu'an City, and say that I, Chen Wu, are going to do a big business with them again; As for the second thing...... Let me ask you a question first, you have been in Wu'an for so many years, do you know anything about the Ordnance Division? ”

Position or something, Yuan Xingwei doesn't care. As long as there is a person like you in your heart, how you want to be promoted is not a matter of words, this is the so-called Jane in the emperor's heart. After listening to the task assigned to him by Chen Wu, he frowned and thought about it, and replied: "I have very little contact with the Ordnance Department of Wu'an, but I know a person who knows a lot about the Ordnance Department. ”

As he spoke, he had already guessed what Chen Wu was thinking, and he couldn't help but applaud Chen Wu's eyes.

In "Empire", Wu'an's Ordnance Division has dozens of qualified craftsmen, and even more apprentices. Not only can you make and repair common weapons, armor, bows and arrows, but you can also build siege equipment such as catapults. To be able to master them is to have a hen that can lay golden eggs!

Compared to these craftsmen, the wealth of those small aristocratic families in Wu'an was nothing at all.

They are the most valuable military talents in Wu'an!

"Who is this person?" Chen Wu asked.

Yuan Xingwei had already gone through the man's information in his heart, and when he heard it, he said: "There are three people in charge of the Ordnance Department, and the one I am talking about is called child punishment. Although he is not involved in the production management of the Ordnance Division, he is familiar with the archives of the owners of the Ordnance Division. Almost every craftsman in the Ordnance Division, he can name and address in Wu'an City. ”

"Find him!"

Chen Wu's spirits perked up, and he, who was determined to win these talents, told Yuan Xingwei: "You personally lead a group of people, find the child punishment, and then take over all the craftsmen and tools of the Ordnance Division, and transfer all of them to the garrison of the rebels, even if you use tougher means, it doesn't matter." ”

"What if other forces intervene?" Yuan Xingwei asked tentatively.

"You can use any means if necessary!" Chen Wu's attitude was very resolute: "Let it go, if something happens, you will have it." ”

"Lord, be of good cheer! Give me a day! ”

Yuan Xingwei liked such a simple master, slapped the folding fan, received the order and acted quickly, he knew what this group of outstanding craftsmen meant to the righteous army.

After arranging this important matter, Chen Wu, who had returned to the Chinese military tent, convened an extraordinary meeting.

Dian Yong, Xu Shizhong and other generals, as well as Gan Xing all attended.

called Gan Xinglai to ask him to arrange for people to monitor the movements of the Good Friends Association. The other generals were summoned in order to inform them of the previous disagreement with the Good Friends. One is to let his subordinates know what they stand and why they are doing it; Second, it is also to warn them to be more careful when they go out. Wang Huifang may not dare to start a war lightly, but he can't help but secretly attack the black hand and shoot a few generals with cold arrows. This will not allow the rebels to collapse immediately, and it will be difficult to get the evidence.

This method is insidious and vicious, but the effect is very good, and it must be guarded against. (To be continued.) )
