When Jiang Feng returned to the capital, Xiaobao had just left the capital, and after Jiang Feng learned that the plot had turned back to the original point, he wanted to chase Xiaobao, but he didn't succeed.

Why?

Because the Nine Tribulations Master and Li Shichun returned to the capital and were waiting for him at home.

Jiang Feng was very puzzled and asked, "Senior sister, didn't you ask you to recruit refugees?" How did you get back? Could it be that all the recruits are complete? ”

The face of the Nine Tribulations Master was very ugly, and Li Shichun stepped forward and said, "Go back to Your Highness......"

Jiang Feng waved his hand to stop him: "Don't call me Your Highness in the future, it's easy to expose your identity." ”

"Yes!" Li Shichun changed his words and said: "Back to the alliance leader, at the beginning, the recruitment went very smoothly, and in only two or three days, we recruited five hundred young people, plus these young family members, the total population reached more than 1,700 people. ”

"But at this time, our actions were noticed by the local officers and soldiers, and those officers and soldiers couldn't help but say that they broke up the crowd, first snatched the supplies we prepared for the refugees, and then wanted to arrest me on the charge of 'illegally gathering a crowd and conspiring to rebel'.

Jiang Feng frowned and looked at Li Shichun, and then at Shitai, only to feel very depressed: Lao Tzu traveled all the way north, and the Qing officials he killed were rolling, why did it make it so difficult for you to do something?

Li Shichun is a literati, his timidity is understandable, and Shi Tai is a great master who dares to assassinate the emperor, would he be afraid that the government will not succeed?

Shitai seemed to know Jiang Feng's complaints, and explained: "Senior sister happened to be not at the scene that day, and when I arrived, the officers and soldiers had already snatched the supplies and arrested Mr. Li, and the senior sister killed some officers and soldiers and leading officials on the spot, but unfortunately our supplies were looted in the chaos, and those young men who were recruited saw that we killed the officials, and refused to go with us." ”

"After this happened, I decided not to recruit refugee young people, one is because the 20,000 taels of silver you gave have already cost seventy-seven eighty-eight, and second, senior sister Jue, those young and strong people are too timid, and it is really ...... to rely on them to overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty."

"Of course, if you pick carefully, you can also pick some bold, but we think: it is useless to recruit less, and the number of recruits is large, and when you return, you will encounter a lot of checks."

"We can't go all the way, can we?"

"Not to mention that these refugees are too timid, even if they don't run and take them all the way to kill people, sooner or later they will be surrounded and suppressed by the army, if they fall into the encirclement of the army, the senior sister will save Mr. Li at most, and the others can only let them fend for themselves."

Hearing this, Jiang Feng couldn't help but pat his head: "It's my fault." "I took it for granted!

Nowadays, what the Manchu Tartars are most afraid of is the Han rebellion, and in such a political environment, hundreds of young people gathered will definitely be targeted by the Tartars' eagles and dogs.

If it's as easy as I thought before, there are so many heroes in the world, how can no one make a move?

If it was really that easy, the world was already in flames, how could it be waiting for me to overthrow it.

Jiang Feng asked, "Since the road of recruiting refugees doesn't work, do you have any other ideas?" ”

Li Shichun shook his head: "It is said that scholars rebelled, and it will not be successful in ten years, I am one of them, you let me handle government affairs without a problem, recruiting soldiers is not my strength." ”

Is it possible to consider subduing an existing power?

Jiang Feng asked again, "What about Senior Sister?" ”

The Nine Tribulations Master pondered for a moment before saying: "Over the years, Senior Sister has also gathered some manpower, but they are all women, I'm afraid it will be embarrassing and useful!" ”

Jiang Feng nodded: Which manpower the Nine Tribulations Master said must be the widows of the Zhuang family.

Thinking of the banker's widow, Jiang Feng couldn't help but shake his head.

In her opinion, the entire Zhuang family is only a twin instrument, and the rest of the people are not very good, including the third young grandmother of Zhuang San.

Why?

Imagine: All the old and young masters have been killed, but they will only hide and pretend to be ghosts.

If they were ordinary women, it would be fine, but they weren't, the people of the Divine Dragon Sect would knock them off, and they would be able to repel them, which shows that their strength is not weak.

However, none of these women who are worth their strength are weak go out to avenge the old and young masters in the family.

There are two of their enemies, one is Ao Bai, who ordered the killing of the man in their family, and the other is Wu Mingrong, the magistrate of Gui'an County, who betrayed their family.

Aobai's martial arts are strong, they can't kill Aobai, it's understandable that they don't take action, but can't Wu Zhirong kill them?

Wu Zhirong is just a magistrate, and there are few guards around him, so if you send two people, you can kill him, right?

It's a pity that they didn't act, and they would only hide in Yizhuang every day and curse their enemies, and in the end, it was Xiaobao who brought Wu Zhirong to them, and they were able to take revenge.

It can be seen that although these women's martial arts are not weak, in their hearts, they still regard themselves as weak people who need help, they have become accustomed to the identity of the weak, adapted to the mentality of the weak, and it is indeed unreliable to expect them to help rebel.

Since the Nine Tribulations Master and Li Shichun have no choice, they can only rely on themselves!

If there is enough time, I can also slowly establish my own power like the Heaven and Earth Society, but the curtain of the plot has begun, and the big war between the little emperor and Wu Sangui will break out within a few years, leaving me not enough time.

Since it cannot be suggested slowly, there is only one way: plunder, plunder the existing anti-Qing forces.

Heaven and Earth Meeting?

Behind the Heaven and Earth Society is the Zheng family in Taiwan, and the Zheng family has the third prince Zhu in their hands, and they will definitely not surrender to others.

However, it is not impossible, the Zheng family's investment in the Heaven and Earth Society is not large, except for Chen Jinnan, there are few people who are loyal to the Zheng family, that is to say, as long as the Heaven and Earth Society does not have Chen Jinnan, it can completely make the Heaven and Earth Society change its course.

Originally, he wanted to save Chen Jinnan at a critical moment, but now it seems that the plan is about to change!

Xiaobao is already the incense master of the Heaven and Earth Society, if Chen Jinnan dies, he has a great chance to take over the position of helmsman, and at that time, I can take advantage of the situation and make the Heaven and Earth Society use for me through Xiaobao.

And what about that force?

Wu Sangui?

Wu Sangui can't do it, he can't be used by me, even if he kills him, his soldiers and horses can't be mobilized by me, just let him do his own thing.

Galdan?

No, it doesn't.

Galdan was a Mongol, and his subordinates would not obey the orders of the Han Chinese, and if they wanted to use this force, they had to go through Kaldan.

However, this guy Galdan is really not good.

In the original work, Xiaobao promised him an empty position, and he treacherously broke away from the anti-Qing alliance, which shows that this person is a mercenary wallgrass, even if he agrees to surrender, Jiang Feng can't trust him.
