Hong Chengchou didn't know that Ye Chuchun had framed him in front of Ye Chengmin and secretly communicated with the imperial court.He was now actively thinking about how to make his exiled gentry more capable of resisting the imperial court.Since Yang Sichang forcibly abducted him and dragged him onto the ship of the reactionary gentry, Hong Chengchou is destined to be difficult to slowly realize his ambition of glorifying his ancestors and becoming famous in the world through his political achievements and merits like other civil officials who still remain in the court.So, he had to do it in a harder way.And there are two ways to make it harder.One is to die by suicide or hunger strike.One is to learn from Song Jiang after being forced to go to Liangshan to make his capital bigger, and then accept Zhao'an, which is equivalent to later generations becoming stronger first and then preparing to be acquired by large companies.Hong Chengchou naturally did not choose the former.In the case of a truly loyal person like Lu Xiangsheng, even if his ambition can no longer be realized, when he is in a desperate situation, he would rather waste his life's work than use his talents to cause greater damage to society.But Hong Chengchou is a person who would rather cause more damage to society than realize his ambitions.Therefore, Hong Chengchou chose the latter, and did not choose to commit suicide or die of hunger strike at the beginning after being taken captive to the sea by Yang Sichang, Tu Guobao and others.Hong Chengchou naturally knew that it would be difficult for the reactionary gentry to overthrow the imperial court by himself, but he believed that he could make the reactionary gentry stronger, so strong that it would be difficult for the imperial court to clean up their own people, and he could also make trouble for the imperial court.In this way, Hong Chengchou could make the imperial court have to recruit them, and he could become a court official again.Therefore, Hong Chengchou is now very active in giving advice to the reactionary gentry."
Kill all these people who took the initiative to take refuge!
In case there are details mixed in, since we want to succeed, we must be strict!
In the future, we will only accept our own initiative to recruit troops, and the recruitment must be irregular and fixed, so that the court will not be able to install people within us!
”For this reason, Hong Chengchou directly demanded that the reactionary gentry kill some of the displaced people who had taken the initiative to take refuge because they had committed crimes in the interior or were too poor."
Okay!
Then kill them all!
”Tu Guobao, who was closer to Hong Chengchou, waved his hand.The people of Fujian, Zhejiang, and Haihai who came to take refuge were quite shocked for a while when they saw these soldiers of the Shogunate bravely draw their swords and walk towards them."
Spare your life!
Big man!
We're here from the bottom of our hearts!
”"Yes!
Now the government wants to exile us to Nagasaki, we don't want to go so far to come to you, didn't you say to give Yueyin a tael, why do you want to kill us!
”"No, let us go back!
Whining!
”The seafolk cried out for this.Hong Chengchou, who only wags his tail and begs for mercy to the rulers with real power, naturally has no sympathy for these common people.Therefore, Hong Chengchou only continued to snort coldly: "Let you pariahs go back?
It's a beautiful idea!
What if any of you tells us about our whereabouts?
Kill them all!
”As soon as Hong Chengchou's words fell, a series of clicking sounds came.All these sea people were killed, and their bodies were exposed in the wilderness.Ye Chuchun, who was standing on the side, was quite shocked in his heart, and he couldn't help but glance at Hong Chengchou, who was still calm and calm, and his fists clenched unconsciously.Only Hong Chengchou and the others were not shocked on their faces."
That's right, we must have a distinction between seats and ranks, and we must order and prohibit them, because the three armies cannot be without commanders!
There must be a place where you can give orders, in Hong's opinion, we should set up a righteous hall, elect three or five capable people as the commander-in-chief, and play the banner of 'doing the right thing for heaven', instead of 'Fengtian Jing'!
Because we can't let the princes of the DPRK and China really think that we need to purge them, and we just want justice!
For the Juyi Hall, Hong recommended himself as the leader of the Juyi Hall, and promoted Ye Chuchun Ye Gongzi and General Tu as the commander-in-chief, and everyone should listen to the orders of the Juyi Hall in the future. ”Hong Chengchou then talked to Ye Chengmin, Ding Qirui, Ye Chuchun and other reactionary gentry about the establishment of the supreme command organization, and also recommended himself, and promoted Ye Chuchun and Tu Guobao as commanders-in-chief.The reason why Hong Chengchou recommended Ye Chuchun was because after testing Ye Chuchun and Ding Qirui that day, he found that Ye Chuchun was the least suspicious of Dongchang's ears, and seeing that he was calm and calm, he was a relatively late addition among the reactionary gentry, and his prestige was not high, which was conducive to his own control and monopoly of power, and Tu Guobao was his old acquaintance, and he controlled the military power, and he had always listened to him, so he recommended these two people.Ye Chuchun was quite surprised by this.But Ding Qirui and Ye Chengmin were naturally dissatisfied with this."
There is no problem in setting up a righteous hall and changing the slogan, but the position of the general leader has to be discussed again, and all colleagues must be present to push it, how can it be decided by one or two people, so it may be difficult to convince the public!"
Therefore, Ding Qirui first expressed his opposition.Ye Chengmin also echoed: "That's right!
The commander-in-chief has to gather the gentry of all islands in one place, and it is good to be able to push, how can he be arbitrary!
”Internal power struggles have always been the specialty of civil servants.At this time, these reactionary gentry contradicted each other over Hong Chengchou's proposal for the post of consul.Hong Chengchou was quite anxious when he saw this: "Everyone, now is not the time to seek the rest of the people, time waits for no one, no one knows when the imperial court will know our hiding place, and then send a large army to suppress it, we have to hurry up before the imperial court will suppress it, and quickly determine the person who has the right to make decisions!"
If conditions permit, Hong doesn't mind calling everyone to push it, but now everyone is floating on isolated islands everywhere, and if you want to gather everyone, not to mention half a year, it will take February and March!
Besides, what if the imperial court takes this opportunity to wipe us out?
Do we still want to implement Yang Gong's policy, counterattack the mainland, and attack from all sides?!
It's better to take advantage of the fact that several of the larger forces in the princes are now in one place, and settle this matter as soon as possible, if they don't comply, we can crusade against them!
”"No!
How is this different from the tyrant?
Our gentry went to sea to train their troops because they were dissatisfied with the tyranny of the imperial court, and now how can they turn against each other because they do not obey their orders. ”Ding Qirui continued to object, it was not that he was really unwilling to turn against the reactionary gentry living on other islands, but that he was not among the commanders recommended by Hong Chengchou.Ye Chengmin also objected, and the reason was naturally the same as Ding Qirui.Hong Chengchou had no choice but to continue to argue on the basis of reason.For a while, before these opposition gentry could begin to succeed, they became noisy because of internal power struggles.After a while, Ye Chuchun spoke: "It's better to be like this, Ding Gong and Brother Ziqin (Ye Chengmin) are the commanders-in-chief, in addition, General Tu is the commander-in-chief, and Hong Gong and I are not the commanders of the Juyi Hall." ”"This!"
Ding Qirui didn't expect Ye Chuchun to take the initiative to give up, but he was quite stunned.Hong Chengchou didn't expect that he couldn't establish a core circle of power, these gentry seemed to only want to control others, not others.And seeing Ye Chuchun propose this, he could only follow the overall situation, agreed, and said, "That's okay!"
”"Thanks to your attention, then Ding will be appointed as the commander-in-chief."
Ding Qirui obviously has a great desire for power, so he said first.Ye Chengmin also smiled because of this.And Tu Guobao also said: "That's okay, in the future, everyone will listen to the orders of the three of us, and please ask Hong Gong to take more ideas when the time comes." ”Hong Chengchou smiled awkwardly.Thus began the formation of the trio of the Righteous Hall, the leading body that commanded these reactionary gentry.And Ding Qirui, Ye Chengmin, and Tu Guobao became the leaders.Hong Chengchou's original intention has been achieved, although he has not become the leader himself.However, this incident also gave Ye Chuchun a chance to deal with Hong Chengchou."
You mean to say that Hong Chengchou is likely to be the eyes and ears of the imperial court?"
Ding Qirui asked Ye Chuchun and Ye Chengmin.
