After asking that question, Zheng Xinghuai didn't ask any more questions. He just sat there blankly. It wasn't until a long time later that he stood up and thanked Xu Qi'an and Li Miaozhen: "Thank you both for telling Zheng this news. If this news is true,
, the kindness you two have shown us in Chuzhou is nothing less than a renewal. However, Chuzhou has just experienced the change of King Zhenbei. If the imperial army comes to attack, it will be difficult to resist it. I hope you will lend a helping hand!"
If this news is true, with Chuzhou's current strength, it will definitely not be able to stop the imperial army and must find foreign aid. Since these two people took the initiative to come to tell him the news, they must want to help Chuzhou.
By this time, Zheng Xinghuai had actually believed 90% of what Xu Qian and Li Miaozhen said.
These two people could sneak into his study silently late at night. If they really wanted to harm him and Chuzhou, they could control him first and then use him to do things. But not only did these two people not do this, but they kept asking him
Proving that what they said was true, they did not use any means against him.
This increases Zheng Xinghuai’s trust!
As for the last 10% disbelief, it was just out of the last trace of loyalty to the emperor in my heart. As an official with a Confucian background, I still hope that the monarch I am loyal to will be a wise monarch.
Xu Qi'an supported Zheng Xinghuai and said: "Master Zheng, please get up quickly! This is exactly the purpose of our coming tonight. I don't want to see Chuzhou become a river of blood because of the emperor's selfish interests. Under the rule of Master Zheng,
It is indeed not easy for Chuzhou to resist the imperial army, but now you are not the only ones in Chuzhou, Mr. Zheng, but there is also another group of people..."
Another group of people?
Zheng Xinghuai frowned and glanced at Xu Qi'an. He immediately understood the meaning of Xu Qi'an's words. The "other group of people" should refer to the more than 6,000 people who had left with that person to rebel.
Does this Xu Yinluo have any dealings with those rebels?
Zheng Xinghuai, who was born as a Confucian, was naturally resistant to words such as rebellion and rebellion. After hearing Xu Qi'an's words, he had some doubts about the authenticity of the news and Xu Qi'an's motives.
Seeing the change in Zheng Xinghuai's expression, Xu Qi'an didn't know what he was thinking, and said: "Mr. Zheng, please don't misunderstand me. The reason why I am in contact with Brother Huang and the others is because of a certain person, Xu, and has nothing to do with the news itself."
"What's more, the crisis currently facing Chuzhou comes from the imperial army. Although Mr. Zheng and Brother Huang have different ideas and thoughts, they both want to protect the peace of Chuzhou. Xu thinks that Mr. Zheng can temporarily put aside some prejudices and work together with Brother Huang and the others.
Respond to this crisis."
Zheng Xinghuai was reluctant to join forces with Huang Chao and others, but he also knew that there was someone sponsoring Huang Chao and others, who should be more powerful than him to fight against the imperial army.
Although he is a loyal man, he loves the people even more. Therefore, in the original work, even though he knew that he might be killed if he told about the crimes committed by King Zhenbei in Chuzhou, he still took the initiative to stand up for the more than 300,000 people in Chuzhou City.
The surname Shengyeng indicates the crime of King Zhenbei.
Zheng Xinghuai said: "As long as they can deal with the imperial army, what's the problem with Zheng joining forces with them? But they only have more than 6,000 people, how can they resist the imperial army?"
Xu Qi'an thought of Huang Chao and others who were promoting education, steel smelting, and industrialization, and his face couldn't help but become weird. An average of more than 6,000 people might not be able to do anything to the imperial army that counted in the tens of thousands, but a systematic six thousand
But it may not be impossible if there are many people.
Moreover, in this world where extraordinary power exists, as long as the path is pointed out, the development speed is much faster than the ordinary civilization in the normal world. When the imperial army arrives, who knows what those people can do...
After leaving Zheng Xinghuai's house, Li Miaozhen asked curiously: "The army dispatched by Emperor Yuan Jing is tens of thousands at least. Can it be stopped by just over 6,000 people?"
Xu Qian said with a smile: "After excluding the old and weak, and then leaving out the people who work as logistics support, there are far less than 6,000 people who can actually participate in the battle, but if I were to choose, I still think Brother Huang and the others will win. As for the reason, I have to do it.
He said, why don't you go see it yourself then."
After listening to Xu Qi'an's words, Li Miaozhen became more and more curious about the more than 6,000 rebels he had never seen before. Xu Qi'an was convinced that they could defeat more with less and hold off at least tens of thousands of imperial troops.
After receiving the news from Xu Qian and Li Miaozhen, although he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart, Zheng Xinghuai had already begun to take action. He could not wait until the imperial army reached Chuzhou and showed its fangs before making preparations. By then, Daylily would
It's all cold.
While he was screening Chuzhou's border troops and selecting soldiers who were local children of Chuzhou, he secretly sent out spies so that they could detect them immediately once the imperial army appeared.
On the other side, Xu Qian brought Li Miaozhen to the valley.
After only a few days, the valley has changed its appearance. Flat roads extend in all directions in the valley, and strange-shaped buildings rise from the ground one after another.
These buildings are not strange to Xu Qian, they are just factories and earth-modern style buildings, but to Li Miaozhen, they seem very novel.
She has never seen such a building in her whole life, and there are strange things moving in that building. On the flat road, there are people driving strange... cars to transport things.
That thing should be able to call a taxi, right?
The clothes of those people are also different from the people of Dafeng outside. Judging from the clothes, it can still be seen that the prototypes are the local clothes of Chuzhou, but they have become more close-fitting and simple.
The people she saw seemed to be working, but they didn't have the fear and uneasiness of the people in Dafeng outside. They were worried about the harvest, worried about not having enough to eat and not warm, worried about their lives, and worried about not being able to foresee the future.
.
Everyone here is full of hope, showing an orderly harmony!
Just what are they doing?
Passing by a room and looking in through the window, Li Miaozhen saw many people sitting inside, including men, women, old and young. Everyone had a table in front of them, with paper and pens on the table, and they seemed to be reading and studying.
But the strange thing is that there is no teacher and no books. The pen is not a brush, but a pen made of wood. With Li Miaozhen's eyesight, he looked inside and saw someone writing strange symbols on the paper.
.
Which family's symbol is this? Based on Li Miaozhen's knowledge, it's not Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism, or Shamanism. Could it be the symbol of the system he followed?
Li Miaozhen was shocked. With that person's strength, there will definitely be another sect in the world in the future, and the prosperity of this sect will be higher than that of Taoism, Buddhism, and Confucianism. Who makes that person stronger?
?All the super-grade ones have been captured by that one, and that one is number one in the world!
With the blessing of this layer of buffs, the system that the person follows will definitely be sought after by everyone, and countless people will devote themselves to this path.
Xu Qi'an also took a look. There was nothing interesting to see, just some mathematical formulas, physical formulas and chemical equations. However, if he studied physics and chemistry well enough, he would find that some of the physical formulas and chemical equations were different from those on earth.
