Chapter 41: How to Get Down to Huaian

Lu Si did not answer Sun Wujin's question. In his opinion, Sun Erlang, who had returned, had a little intention of being a horse bone.

However, Master Lu Si didn't like this routine, so he said lightly: "If you have anything to say, I still have a lot to do."

Sun Wujin was a little embarrassed, and hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but say, "Master Lu, since you have led the Hegong to rebel, then the Huaiyang government will inevitably be shocked. If Master Lu just wants to bring Hegong back home, then the young one will take his brothers away, because in that case, Master Lu and these rebellious Hegongs will have a dead end. Although the young ones want to make a fortune, they don't want to lose their heads in vain."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone among the Big Sword Team members around Lu Si cursed: "Don't you fart, why are we going home dead?"

The one who scolded people was Xie Jinsheng who fought back for revenge for his master, but his resistance was also to be able to go home alive.

At home, there is his mother, his wife, and his children.

Sun Wujin didn't say why, but just glanced at Xie Jinsheng, as if the thief in front of him had a bad head.

This made Xie Jinsheng very angry, and he moved his feet and wanted to move forward.

"Brother Xie, listen to him!"

Xia Dajun grabbed Xie Jinsheng and then sneered at Sun Wujin, "Why can't we go home!"

The voice was very loud. The nearby Big Sword Team members, including those river workers who were rescuing the wounded, could hear it, and some people subconsciously watched it.

Obviously, most of them have gradually calmed down after experiencing fighting and madness, even though the battle in Taohuawu continues.

When a person is calm, he thinks a little more.

And in a foreign land, after experiencing great horror, human nature always thinks about returning to his familiar hometown and to his familiar relatives.

Rebellion is really scary.

Even though the people of Yancheng County were the heroes who followed Zhang Shicheng to revolt against the Yuanyuan more than two hundred years ago, they later failed to fight against Zhu Yuanzhang's Ming army and were exiled from Suzhou to northern Jiangsu and became a criminal citizen.

But after all, that happened more than two hundred years ago. Time had long erased the mark of their descendants of sinners, their genes for resisting the Ming Dynasty, and made them become Zhu Ming's good people.

For real ordinary people, who would be willing to rebel with their heads, and who would not be willing to return to their hometown to live a stable life?

Isn’t it just to go home alive when fighting with the government army?

Now some people say that even if they don’t rebel, they can’t go home. How can the river workers not be surprised when they hear it!

.........

Lu Si glanced at Xia Dajun, who nodded slightly.

"You are all registered river workers in prefectures. In the past, you can be said to be good people. Now you are all mobs. I wish you could have a way out if you get together. You will be able to live together. If you are going to disperse, go home. Humph, I advise you to stop this idea as soon as possible, otherwise you will also involve your family when you go back."

Sun Wujin was also honest. The power of thousands or tens of thousands of people gathered together was very terrible. The officers and soldiers with few soldiers had to take a detour when they saw it. But if these tens of thousands or tens of thousands of people were separated and returned to their own homes, a few yamen runners could be arrested by the village. If they encountered cruel officials, their families would be even held.

"What you mean is that if we don't go home, the government won't let us go?"

Xie Jinsheng frowned, and the big sword team members around him also looked very serious one by one. Several river workers carrying the corpse not far away even missed and dropped the corpse to the ground.

Sun Wujin nodded. He had never seen the rebellious people who could still live safely.

Lu Si ignored the "buzz" discussion of the river workers, including the Big Sword team members, and asked Sun Wujin: "Why are you back?"

Sun Wujin said: "Does Mr. Lu listen to the truth?"

But what I got was a stern saying, "Reply to me honestly, ask another question, and I will kill you."

This made Sun Wujin stern and quickly said, "I'm going to hide it from Master Lu, the young people can only follow Master Lu, otherwise the young people will not be able to get out of Huai'an Mansion."

"Why?" Lu Si raised his eyebrows.

Sun Wujin smiled bitterly: "It's all the evils that the young people have done. The big team was there, and the people were afraid of the young people, but now the young people are just a group of miserable dogs. Even if Mr. Lu spares the young people, how can the miserables among the people let the young people go... The young people follow Mr. Lu to rebel, which is to atone for themselves, and to find a place to establish themselves."

The defeated soldiers behind Sun Wujin were nodding. If they hadn't been able to leave, they wouldn't have let the good officers and soldiers come to be rebels.

Seeing Lu Si pondering silently, Sun Wujin hurriedly said, "If Mr. Lu wants to have a chance, the younger ones are willing to help Mr. Lu!"

"Um?"

Lu Si carefully looked at this guy named Sun Wujin, but whether it was the first time or now, this person gave him a good impression, and he was cruel and treacherous in his bones.

But Sun Wujin thought the other party was moved, so he quickly took the opportunity to say, "Young people can help Mr. Lu take down Huaian City! With Mr. Lu, he doesn't have to worry about what happened next."

“Why?”

Lu Si said in a muffled voice.

"Mr. Lu is confused, right?... Huai'an City is a big fight in the north and south of the canal. If this falls into Mr. Lu's hands, it will definitely panic. In this way, Mr. Lu will have enough chips to negotiate with Nanjing... I think about the current situation. 80% of Nanjing will recruit Mr. Lu to entrust official positions. By then, Mr. Lu and these Hegong brothers will be able to transform into an official army, so naturally he will rest assured."

Sun Wujin expressed his own opinions and felt quite confident. He believed that the young man in front of him would be moved.

"Why is Nanjing recruiting us, not Beijing's imperial court recruiting us?" A big sword team member raised this question.

"You don't know?"

Sun Wujin was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the situation in the north was not clear about the situation in Huaiyang farmers. He immediately explained the situation that the bandits in the north had become powerful and the Beijing court was in danger.

"...So now, the Huaiyang area has to be seen in Nanjing. If Beijing is really a bandit, our Ming Dynasty court will return to Nanjing."

"So, the emperor is coming to Nanjing?"

"The emperor is here, will we be Chengdu again in Nanjing?"

"Oh my God, why are the bandits in the north so capable of fighting?"

"I've heard people say that the Ming Dynasty is about to end. I used to think it was just a joke, but I didn't think it was true..."

“…”

The crowd was in an uproar after hearing this. Except for a very small number of people, most people really didn't know that the Ming Dynasty had become like this.

Of course, Lu Si knew that the Beijing court would be over for at most three or four months, but he did not think that things would be as Sun Wujin said, and Nanjing was willing to recruit them.

The famous Shige tribe in history hated the peasant uprising the most, and even Gao Jie was reluctant to recognize his son as his adopted son after his death, resulting in tens of thousands of elite soldiers, including Li Chengdong, who were completely disappointed with Nan Ming and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty.

This is true for Gao Jie's tens of thousands of elite soldiers, not to mention that Lu Si and the river workers rebel.

Recruitment?

Lu Si didn't think about it, so he sneered: "What if Nanjing refused to invite me to wait?"

"ah?"

Sun Wu was stagnant, and he had never thought about this problem. He hesitated and said: "If Nanjing refuses to recruit Master Lu, Master Lu can take the river engineer to clean up the treasury in Huai'an city, or force Yangzhou to threaten Nanjing to recruit them, or return to his hometown to protect himself. If both strategies are not possible... Master Lu can also go to Sizhou to join my general Jin!"

In the end, Sun Wujin actually gave a suggestion to go to Jin Shenghuan.

"Don't worry, Mr. Lu, General Jin was born in the early years to stealing his name. He is the most important thing for a good man like Mr. Lu... Nowadays, as long as there are soldiers in hand, let alone local officials, even the court will have to look at us..."

Sun Wujin really considered the rebels of the river workers, including Mr. Lu and others. But as he spoke, he realized that the "Mr. Lu" opposite him looked a little unkind, and he was so scared that he shut up and dared not say anything else.

"I'll talk about what happened in the future. Let me ask you, how can you take over Huaian City? The defenders in that city are not decorations."

Taking Huaian City is one of Lu Si's plans, but how to take Huaian City is also a big problem.
