Chapter 151: Bold Decisions
The rumor spread quickly, and it didn't take long for the entire county to spread.
Shen Mo was young in the end, and he was not ready, so he felt panicked in his heart.
Shen Jinbao was also silent for two days before finally making up his mind.
"Then it's the opposite, just use the name of General Xiao Ding."
"Daddy—"
"Silence, listen to me, since this rumor is true, there is no need to lie and clarify. Moreover, Dad felt that this rumor came in time, and it also saved us from building up our own momentum. ”
"Please tell me more about it." Sitting silently.
Shen Jinbao explained in detail: "There is no shortage of rebels in all parts of the Great Zhou, but there are very few people who can really win the hearts of the people and become big. And you are different, after you are General Xiao Ding Xiao, you are this identity, and you are destined to be able to respond to every call. Although I don't know where this rumor came from, it really helped you, and I guess the person who spread the rumor himself would not have expected it. ”
Silent understood a little, and hesitated a little.
"Even if I recognize my identity, what if others don't believe me?"
Shen Jinbao smiled confidently.
"Remember the Moyu Tiger card I left you before the fire? That is the token of the Xiao Mansion, and it is also the token of General Xiao's command of the three armies in the past. You take it, and someone will believe it. ”
Shen Mo had guessed that this Moyu Tiger brand must have a origin, but he didn't know that it had such a big origin, and his heart immediately settled down a lot.
There was another thing that made him feel uneasy.
"In that rumor, Zuo Chengyi was also mentioned, is he really my mother's brother? Or is it because we look alike, we are being used by someone with a heart? Shall he not suffer from me? ”
Don't talk about silence, even Shen Jinbao doesn't dare to believe or disbelieve it.
"That rumor, true or false, no one can tell the difference, and when it reaches the capital, the Chengguo Mansion will take action. Until then, we can't be in a hurry, just concentrate on making the team bigger. ”
"Yes, Dad."
Shen Mo knew how heavy the burden was on his body, and now he had no way to retreat.
Make it or die.
He didn't care about his own safety, but he was worried that Su Ying would be frightened when he heard the news.
quietly returned to Quanshui Village, wanting to confess to Su Ying.
As soon as he arrived at Su's house, he was taken away by Su Ying, who was about to go out.
"Where are you taking me?" He hasn't had time to confess yet.
Su Ying said very firmly: "I know what you have to say, you don't have to say it, I know everything." You don't need to persuade you, since I chose you, we are grasshoppers on a rope, one is prosperous, and the other is lost. ”
Shen Mo was taken to the village barn, but unexpectedly, the whole village of men, women and children were waiting there.
"It's ......"
The village chief stepped forward to greet Shen Mo, patted him on the shoulder, and said loudly: "Good boy, I didn't expect you to be a descendant of General Xiao Ding, no wonder you are so broad-minded and kind." ”
Seeing that Shen Mo was still at a loss, the village chief said:
"Don't pretend to be a kid, Miss Su Ying told us everything.
She is right, if it weren't for your generosity and letting everyone grow potatoes to avoid the famine, one in our village would be counted as one, and every family would not have to starve to death?
If it weren't for your Shen family, the old and young in our village would definitely be like other disaster victims, starving to death and dying of disease on the way to escape the famine.
Everyone owes you a life, and now you have to recruit troops, how can you not support it? ”
As soon as the village chief's words fell, some villagers below enthusiastically expressed their opinions.
"The village chief is right, Shen Mo wants to recruit troops, I am the first to sign up for the army, Lao Tzu is fed up with the incompetence of the imperial court, and he will not give up if he does not overthrow the dog emperor!"
"I'll sign up too!"
"I'll sign up too."
"I'm too old to sign up for the army and hold back, so I'll leave enough potatoes for myself to eat the autumn grain this year, and I'll hand over the rest to you."
"I'll give you the potatoes too, and I'll pay you back your life-saving food."
“……”
Shen Mo didn't know how Su Ying mobilized the villagers, and he didn't know how to express his gratitude, he had always been very talkative, but he suddenly choked up and couldn't speak.
The village chief motioned for everyone to be quiet, and patted Shen Mo's shoulder.
He said earnestly: "Everyone is grateful to you, trusts you, and knows that your kid will definitely have a future in the future, so now there are people who are out of people, and no one is contributing money and food, all thinking that you can succeed, and you are also seeking a good future for yourself and future generations." Wait for you to do it one day, but don't forget the big guy. ”
Since ancient times, when the new king ascended the throne, the people below would follow the chicken dog to ascend to heaven.
It is true that the old and young people of Quanshui Village are grateful to the Shen family, and it is also true that they hugged their thighs in advance.
Who doesn't want a great future for themselves and future generations?
Just like Su Ying told them, the Shen family can only protect them for a while, but they can't protect them for a lifetime, if no one overthrows the mediocre and violent rule of the Great Zhou, then the victims who starved to death on the side of the road today will be the same fate for them in the future.
Who can not be afraid to hear this? Who doesn't want silence to happen as soon as possible, and everyone can live a good life sooner?
silently and solemnly made a promise to the village chief and the villagers that if it is successful, he will not forget the villagers and elders.
On the same day, more than 30 young and strong villagers followed Shen Mo.
In the following days, Shen Jinbao was no longer hiding, and Zhengda Guangming and Su Ying went to the county to lobby for all parties.
The Zhao family was the first to express their willingness to follow Shen Mo, and funded a considerable amount of silver taels.
Su Ying's move to recycle potatoes that day won the hearts of the cooperative merchants, and after several door-to-door persuasions, he finally won those people over.
Thanks to the good reputation left by Shen Jinbao and Su Ying when they were doing business, and seeing that the two of them solemnly recorded the materials and funds donated by everyone one by one, even the hard-mouthed person couldn't help but nod and agree to donate.
After raising the first batch of large amounts of military spending, food and grass, Shen Mo began to make people build weapons in full swing.
He did not forget the Zhao family's entrustment, and also drew a large number of people to look for Yuan Qing, and finally captured him alive.
The Zhao family hurriedly sent Yuan Qing to the county government and begged the eunuch to release the Qi family.
The eunuch who sent the decree saw that Yunling County was in chaos, and he was afraid that one day his life would be confessed here, so he had already wanted to cut people down and return to Beijing to restore his life, even if he saw Yuan Qing being arrested, he didn't want to write back to ask for the decree.
deliberately reversed black and white and said: "The Qi family really harbored the rebellious people, and they were willing to hand them over only when they were beheaded, hum, you rebels, don't try to deceive the emperor and his old man." ”
continued to order: "The Qi family is killed according to the killing, and as for Yuan Qing, he will be escorted back to Beijing with the miscellaneous family." ”
Tomorrow will be the day when Qi's family will be beheaded, and the eunuch has made preparations in advance, waiting for the person to die and hurry back to Beijing.
At night, Shen Mo conspired with the Zhao family's father and son for a long time, and finally made a very bold decision.
