Chapter 15 The gangster invites you

A few days later, Qian Buer came to report: "To inform the military advisor, the brothers who went to Nanjing before have returned one after another, bringing news about the second young master."

Xia Wanchun: "Has Brother Mo surrendered to the Qing Dynasty?"

Qian Buer replied: "The second young master has shaved his hair and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and became a disciple of the old thief Hong. In addition, the second young master also published an article "On China" and donated all the 5 million taels of silver earned from gambling to the Qing court.

!”

Even though Xia Wanchun had guessed Qian Mo's thoughts in advance, he was extremely shocked at this moment.

That day Qian Mo told him not to follow the example of "Jing Ke's assassination of Qin", and he had already guessed that Qian Mo would follow the example of King Min of Qi when Su Qin died, and implement the strategy of weakening Yan and destroying Qi's strength!

(During the Warring States Period, the Yan State was in internal chaos and was almost destroyed by the Qi State. In order to repay the favor of King Zhao of Yan, Su Qin did not hesitate to enter Qi and sow discord between Qin and Qi. He even encouraged the greedy King Min of Qi to send troops to annex Qin while leading the five kingdoms to attack Qin.

In the end, Qi State aroused public anger. Le Yi led the five-nation coalition army led by Yan and Zhao to conquer more than 70 cities of Qi State in March. Qi State was almost destroyed. Su Qin did not hesitate to die and finally completed the victory of the weak Yan over the strong.

Qi’s feat.)

It was extremely dangerous to break into the Qing court, but he never expected that Qian Mo would be so decisive. He recognized the thief as his teacher, and also threw out the "China Theory" to whitewash the traitors, and also took out 5 million taels of silver.

Xia Wanchun thought to himself: If this happens, Brother Mo will probably be infamous as "the most traitor in the world"!

"Our Chinese heritage does not lie in the appearance of clothes, but in the spirit of philosophy."

"Lord Hong Chengchou, for the sake of the people of the world to live and work in peace and contentment, he devoted his whole life and sacrificed his life, regardless of personal details, to promote the integration of the nation and the great righteousness of the whole world."

Brother Mo really punished every word. I am afraid that not only the traitors can be exonerated, but also those who were originally wavering between the Ming and Qing Dynasties will have reasons to be cleared with peace of mind.

At this moment, he felt that Qian Mo was both familiar and unfamiliar, "Is this the same brother Mo that he has known since childhood?"

"Such a layout, such scheming, such eloquence, and such articles? Either he is a loyal and filial person, or he is a treacherous and evil person."

Suddenly he remembered Qian Mo's instructions: If one day Xiao Yin hears rumors about his brother, or begins to doubt his brother, he can open the first tip bag.

When I opened the kit, I saw only one poem, "Fang Yan" by Bai Juyi:

I give you a method to eliminate doubts. You don’t need to drill turtles and Zhu Ping.

It takes three days to test the jade, and seven years to identify the material.

Duke Zhou was afraid of the day of rumors, but Wang Mang was humble and did not usurp the throne.

Xiangshi died at the beginning, who knows whether he will be true or false throughout his life?

Xia Wanchun thought to himself: Yes, if Zhou Gong died before returning power and Wang Mang died before usurping the Han Dynasty, then the evaluation of these two people in history would be completely opposite. Only enough time can we distinguish the authenticity.

!

Thinking back to the promise he made with Brother Mo at that time, Xia Wanchun was so ashamed that he felt ashamed. Brother Mo was truly an unparalleled national warrior, even worse than Su Qin. How could he doubt Brother Mo?

There is another paragraph at the bottom of the poem, Xiao Yin Junjian:

"Brother, I have ordered someone to divide 10,000 taels of silver into 100 bets, which will be worth hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. In the near future, the silver taels will be transported back to Taihu by Qian Buer."

"This time, my father has sold off all his property. Except for 110,000 taels of cash, the rest of the family property has been converted into grain, cloth, coal, gunpowder, refined iron and other materials for Xiaoyin's rebellion against the Qing Dynasty."

"Brother, I have ordered that the bones of my ancestors of the Qian family be cremated and the tombs moved. My little sister is about to give birth, and I am very relieved that you two can meet again. Brother and dad should get away and reunite with their families as soon as possible. Don't worry, little one! "

"If what I predict is true, next year there will be an anti-Qing upsurge all over the world. Now that we have enough money and food, Xiao Yin just needs to recruit troops and accumulate strength. He will be very promising next year! Before you are fully fledged, don't attack forcefully and attract the Qing army to pursue you!"

"Steward Qian, how much silver was brought back to the village?" Xia Wanchun asked.

Qian Buer: "Don't worry, military advisor. When I returned to Nanjing, I asked my family members to place separate bets secretly. The small amount did not attract the attention of the officers and soldiers. Now they have all been transferred back to the stronghold, totaling 500,000 taels of silver!"

Xia Wanchun said: "Now our rebel army is considered rich in assets. Now we appoint Qian Buer as our rebel treasurer, in charge of money, food and materials."

"Chief Wu, how many soldiers are there in the stronghold that can fight?"

Wu Qi replied: "We have reported that military advisor Wu Qi has recruited 142 rebels, plus 40 servants of the Qian family brought by steward Qian, for a total of 182 soldiers capable of fighting."

"There are also 20 fire guns and 10 horses in the village."

Xia Wanchun: "Right now, the stronghold is rich in supplies. We can continue to recruit anti-Qing martyrs and accumulate strength, but we must keep it secret and don't let the officers and soldiers keep an eye on us."

Wu Qi: "Don't worry, military advisor, Wu has contacted several other groups of rebels around Taihu Lake to join us. By then, our strength will be greatly enhanced."

"It's just that the rebel army led by "Lang Lifei" has more than 300 people and several large ships. It is stronger than us. This group of people is called the rebel army, but they are actually water bandits with many years of history. They commit all kinds of crimes by burning, killing and looting. I'm afraid they won't do anything. Willing to surrender."

"How does the combat strength of his troops compare with our rebel army?" Xia Wanchun asked.

Wu Qi replied: "Langli Fei's" men are mostly desperadoes with strong fighting power. The officers and soldiers have tried to annihilate them several times, but they have always lost soldiers and generals."

"Most of our rebels were born as fishermen. Although they are proficient in water skills and have experience in dealing with the government and the army, they still lack some bravery compared to them."

According to the newspaper, "Langli Fei" sent a letter saying: "We are willing to raise troops to resist the Qing Dynasty. Please invite Mr. Wu to gather at Feiying Island to discuss cooperation matters."

Wu Qi said: "Langli Fei has always been a water pirate under the guise of a rebel army. This time he was suddenly invited to cooperate in the fight against the Qing Dynasty. I am afraid that there is fraud in it. It should be that a large number of supplies and personnel have been arriving on the island recently, causing If we attract their attention, it might be detrimental to us!"

Xia Wanchun laughed: "The person who came to deliver the letter is still waiting for our reply. Since he is here to gather information, let's invite him to visit the stockade and let the fire gun team practice."
