Jiang Cai's words immediately caused a group of generals and soldiers in the barracks to start shouting again.
"General, how can this be bird air? It's obvious that bird poop has got into my mouth!"
"That is to say, since I have to kneel down and call him my mother's servant, I have been fighting for so many years to be a donkey ball, and many brothers have died in vain..."
For the time being, Li Xia is still the King of Qin in the Song Dynasty and is about to be divided but has not yet been divided.
The soldiers didn't understand this. What they needed was the most straightforward information. For example, the State of Song was the State of Song, and the State of Qin was the State of Qin.
As long as Li Xia had not openly opposed the Song Dynasty, they still considered themselves Song people. Now, as Song people, they had to pay tribute to the barbarians again, and they felt aggrieved and cowardly.
Jiang Cai cleared his throat again, and when he spoke, the muscles in his back bulged slightly, secretly wary. "Then you say... how about we persuade King Qin to rebel against this doggy court?"
As soon as he asked the question, he put his hand on the handle of the knife and glanced over the faces of the generals under his command, carefully observing their expressions.
Two years ago, Jiang Cai killed Sun Huchen and led his troops to surrender to Li Xia. Of course he knew that this was an act of rebellion against the Song Dynasty, but his subordinates may not be aware of the connection and they all followed orders.
In other words, some of these people may still regard themselves as soldiers of the Song Dynasty and are unwilling to rebel against the Song Dynasty.
Sure enough, they saw a general named Lu Fu who was startled and avoided Jiang Cai's gaze, his face looking a little embarrassed.
"good!"
The next moment, Jiang Cai's confidant general Ma Shilong shouted loudly: "Let the King of Qin become the emperor and overthrow the Zhao and Song Dynasties."
This was not arranged by Jiang Cai. He was very talented and bold. He didn't find one or two of his most trusted generals to talk to him individually beforehand. He just returned to the barracks with a few fish and announced the news directly.
Fortunately, this place is under the rule of Li Xia after all, and the camp is full of Jiang Cai's confidants, so most of the people support Li Xia.
"General, is King Qin really going to be the emperor?"
"Well, it is better for the King of Qin to be the emperor than the dog emperor of Lin'an!
"Support the King of Qin as the emperor, and the little guy will be promoted to the next level, hahaha!"
"You have known for a long time that the day will come sooner or later when you will not surrender to the Mongols!"
Seeing everyone's cold reaction, Jiang Cai smiled as expected, released his hand from the handle of the knife, and said proudly, "It seems that you all agree to support King Qin?"
"Does this need to be said? General."
"Okay! Masilong, please ask someone to kill the fish you brought back and prepare good wine and food. I will discuss the details with my brothers."
"yes!"
When Jiang Cai followed Sun Huchen to attack Chongqing, he also sat by the Yangtze River and ate fish.
Times have changed, but now it is him who uses the opportunity of inviting his subordinates to eat fish to win over them. The difference is that Jiang Cai's wining over is sincere. He really wants to promote his subordinates and does not intend to stab them in the back.
Jiang Cai knew his generals very well. After a feast of meat and wine, he observed their expressions and was able to confirm that they all supported the King of Qin in proclaiming himself emperor, except Lu Fu.
Although Lu Fu had been responding to everyone, there was still scruple in his eyes and his smile was a little reluctant.
Jiang Cai did not criticize him, but raised his glass at the end and said, "Since everyone is willing to support the king of Qin, you can stamp your fingerprint on the letter of persuasion and send it to Chang'an.
"Okay!" All the generals were excited.
"Let's all go and appease our soldiers and don't cause any trouble... Lu Fu, come have two more drinks with me."
Lu Fu seemed to be taken aback, so he responded honestly and sat here waiting for the other generals to leave. He still lowered his head, not showing any guilt.
Although he was a general who had been on the battlefield and killed many people, Lu Fu was essentially an honest farmer. It was impossible for him to attack Jiang Cai just to oppose Li Xia's claim to the throne.
"Do you support King Qin to proclaim himself emperor?" Jiang Cai asked.
"...No...that's what the general said. Of course I hope King Qin will be the emperor..."
"to be honest."
Lu Fu scratched his neck, raised his head, revealing a face wrinkled like a bitter gourd, and said: "General, I know everything at this time. How can I understand the quality of the King of Qin and the officials? I only know that.
Can paddle"
In fact, that is the norm, and most people have no idea what the Song Dynasty and the Chang'an regime were like."
"I have never seen King Qin,
I also know what will happen if he becomes emperor, I know...if he becomes a rebel, it will affect my family."
Jiang Caidao: "I told you that after the rebellion, I will send troops southward, so that your family will not be harmed."
"My eighth brother is studying... and he will be admitted to Jinshi this year. If I rebel, he will be hurt." Jiang Cai murmured, "It's not easy for my mother to provide for him to study..."
Jiang Cai was stunned and asked in surprise: "Do you still have scholars in your family?"
Jiang Cai smiled awkwardly and said: "Took the Jinshi exam in April this year. The gentlemen in the village said that he is a promising student."
Although the smile was cramped, it revealed a proud feeling of being proud of his younger brother.
Jiang Cai calmed down and said, "Who do you think you are? Song Ting also found out that you have a younger brother who passed the Jinshi examination."
"What if? What if he becomes a Jinshi? The court will look at the family tree and find out that one of his brothers is a rebel..."
"The money you sent home in the past two years was all given by the King of Qin. Do you know how much effort it takes to let our soldiers communicate with their hometown?"
"But if you rebel, won't you no longer be able to communicate with Huaixi?"
Jiang Cai couldn't argue with this ignorant idiot. He was so angry that he grabbed him by the collar and cursed: "You ungrateful hozen, do you only think about your own affairs?! King Qin ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor.
It’s all the people in the world.”
Lu Fu bowed his head even more after being scolded, but apparently did not change his mind because of such accusations.
After all, he had only been under King Qin's rule with Jiang Cai for two years, but providing education for his eighth brother had been a major event in his family for more than ten years.
He really just thinks about his own affairs more than the world, and he doesn't think there's anything wrong with that.
"General, I didn't say I didn't support King Qin becoming the emperor, I just..." Lu Fu said: "What's the use of what I think? I am in charge of the boatmen's oars, how can I control who becomes the emperor?"
Jiang Cai squinted his eyes and thought of his experience in Chongqing Mansion a few days ago.
At a banquet, Gao Changshou casually said, "How about we support King Qin as emperor?" However, three generals from Chongqing Mansion secretly discussed the idea of capturing Gao Changshou and dedicating Chongqing Mansion to the Song Dynasty for meritorious service. As a result, he was accused.
Gao Changshou killed them without hesitation.
The bloody head was hung by the Yangtze River.
If the emperor is to be changed, how can it be possible that no one will die?
Jiang Cai did think about killing Lu Fu for a moment.
But he actually knew very well that Lu Fu was just a small person, and it was completely impossible to influence the King of Qin's proclaiming himself emperor. Why was it necessary to kill him?
Is he afraid that if Lu Fu gets into trouble, he will also be held responsible? So what is the difference between himself and Sun Huchen? Jiang Cai thought about it and slapped Lu Fu hard on the head.
"Hozen, give me the signal."
Lu Fu was stunned, and he took off his waist badge honestly, and handed it to Jiang Cai slowly with both hands, somewhat reluctantly. Jiang Cai took it, and shouted: "I will relieve you of your military duties, just stay here and wait for things to happen."
We’ll talk about it later.”
He recruited two personal soldiers to take Lu Fu back to his barracks, and then took over Lu Fu's troops himself.
After all, there were only a few people in the army who were unwilling to support King Qin in proclaiming himself emperor, and they were quickly overwhelmed by the excitement and excitement.
In the following days, more and more news came from Chang'an, which made the soldiers even more excited.
Many people wait eagerly every day, counting the days on their fingers, to spread the news they have learned among the army.
Lu Fu was locked outside the barracks alone, but he could hear excited shouts outside.
"Do you know? The King of Qin is of the royal family of the Tang Dynasty. He was originally serving the Zhao and Song Dynasty in order to wipe out the barbarians. However, when he thought that the Dog Emperor of the Zhao Song Dynasty had surrendered to the Mongols, the King of Qin had no choice but to decide to restore the foundation of the Tang Dynasty..."
"The country's name is 'Tang, ah'"
"The King of Qin is the true emperor, while Zhao and Song usurped the throne...",
"Have you heard? The enthronement ceremony will be on July 18th. The general will be rewarded, and we will also be rewarded..."
"We are also the founding heroes, right?
"When we are old, we can still tell our grandson that we helped King Qin conquer the world..."
These people were all Lu Fu's colleagues, and they all participated in a grand event, which made him regret a little.
But then I thought about my younger brother who was participating in the imperial examination of the Song Dynasty, and felt that this was the only way.
Finally, it’s July.
The weather suddenly became hotter, and during military drills, the atmosphere became even more heated.
Someone shouted with a voice like a bell.
"On the 18th day of the enthronement ceremony, Your Majesty will offer sacrifices to heaven in Chang'an, allow all places and military camps to offer sacrifices at the same time, read out edicts, and award civil and military officials..."
Lu Fu listened to the cheers outside, walked to the window edge alone, and tried hard to look outside.
Only then did he know that ceremonies would be held in various military camps at the same time as Chang'an. It was only then that he remembered that maybe the new Tang Dynasty would also have imperial examinations, and his brother might be able to participate in the imperial examinations in Chang'an...
It would have been easy to lose track of the days spent under such supervision, but Lu Fu could hear the military officers counting the days every day.
"The day after tomorrow is the coronation ceremony! Are the military flags to be changed ready?! Have the soldiers received new uniforms..."
"tomorrow...."
Lu Fu knew that it was July 17th, and this year's Ghost Festival had passed without even realizing it.
But that night, he suddenly heard the sound of neat footsteps.
"Dong!" The small drum in the army was beaten, "Dong! Dong! Dong"
This is not the beat of a war drum, but ritual music.
