East Factory Governor

Chapter 125
After Qin Shuhuai showed off his loyalty in front of Chongzhen, he returned to the Jianghe Gang overnight.

He always took the two brothers Meng Wei and Meng Hu with him along the way. On the one hand, he considered that he now has many enemies, Cao Gang, Wang Chengen, Dongchang, and Beibei. The two masters feel more at ease, but on the other hand, they don't want to leave them in the gang when they go out, so as to avoid complications.

After returning to the Jianghe Gang, he immediately summoned all the incense masters, left and right law enforcement officers and guardians, and officially announced that he would go to war with Hou Jin.

No one was surprised. After all, after so many days, they could understand what Qin Shuhuai was going to do just by looking at it.

Not only were they not surprised, but they all took it seriously, thinking that although Qin Shuhuai's decision was risky, it was necessary for the current Jianghe Gang.

Although most of the martial arts sects don't care about the change of dynasty, they have traditions in protecting the people and resisting foreign humiliation, especially when Hou Jin's brutality has become notorious, and fighting against Hou Jin has long been regarded as a This is a great "chivalrous action".

However, such behavior is generally sporadic and predominantly personal in nature.In recent years, Jin has frequently harassed Daming. Sometimes it was heard that a certain master killed a small group of bandits and saved the people of a village, but it was almost never heard that any sect would go out to fight against the bandits.The reason is simple. Hou Jin also recognizes the autonomy of the martial arts, and he will not go to the people in the martial arts if he wants to kill or rob.Under such circumstances, who would want to fight Hou Jin desperately?You must know that each sect has its own enemies and competitors. If all the sects are wiped out, what else can they use to gain a foothold in the arena?
But after the Jianghe gang beat Jin, things were different.

The strength of the Jianghe Gang has greatly increased now, not weaker than the Cao Gang and the Giant Whale Gang at all, but in terms of reputation, they are far behind them.The Jianghe Gang is still regarded as a third-rate gang in the martial arts world, and its prestige is not even comparable to that of the Giant Whale Gang.

In martial arts, prestige is often more important than money and territory.In the simplest example, it is almost impossible for a third-rate sect to attract real masters to cast.You must know that real masters disdain to work for money, they value fame and power more.If a master joins a third-rate sect, it's like the president of a group company suddenly goes to work as a contractor at a construction site, and he will definitely be ridiculed by the martial arts.

In addition, if the prestige is not enough, it is absolutely impossible to make friends with those famous families.The six major factions headed by Shaolin and Wudang in the arena, as the first-rate existence, are the Optimus Prime of the entire martial arts.If a gang wants to develop in the long run and gain a firm foothold in the arena, it must make friends with them and get their protection.

Otherwise, no matter how strong you are, no matter how many territories you have, you will not escape the fate of destruction one day.

This is the survival rule of martial arts.

All in all, the benefits of prestige can be said to be innumerable.

Therefore, if the Jianghe Gang wants to continue to grow, it is imminent to improve their reputation.

Therefore, when Qin Shuhuai proposed to make money later, everyone thought he was trying to enhance the reputation of the Jianghe Gang.Although this is very risky, the Jianghe Gang that has developed to this day really needs prestige, and it is understandable even if it takes a little bit.Besides, they had long been used to Qin Shuhuai taking a slanted sword and playing cards out of common sense. He had never disappointed everyone with what he said he could do, so everyone didn't think it was too difficult to accept.

His nickname of the Demon of Ming Dynasty did not come for nothing.

Among them, Zhang Xiao was the most fanatical.

Qin Shuhuai once promised him that he would give him wings, give him robes, give him armor, and bring him back to the battlefield to break the world!
And he just wanted to use the blood of the thief to wash away the shame of that day and cut off the nightmare that had tortured him for countless nights!
Even if you die, you must die innocently like your brothers.

He usually doesn't talk much, but this time he was the first to speak.

"Guild Master, I am preparing for the battle day and night, just waiting for that day! As long as the bandits commit crimes again, the subordinates are willing to be the first to lead the battle!"

In just two sentences, it was loud and bloody.

Qin Shuhuai looked at Zhang Xiao, and said in a calm voice, "Don't worry, that day will come soon. The gold bandits will invade the Central Plains within five days. At that time, they will break through from the Da'ankou area of ​​the Great Wall, and then break through Jizhen and Zunhua. Go to the capital! And you have plenty of opportunities to fight!"

Hearing this, everyone was shocked!

They thought that even if Houjin was to enter the Central Plains, it would be after the beginning of spring, but they didn't expect it to be so early!

And Qin Shuhuai casually stated the exact time and marching route of the bandits' entry, which surprised them again.

But surprises are surprises, no one has any doubts.

Now the whole house is buzzing.

Lai San'er usually talks the most, why is he missing at this time?

"Master, Lai San'er is willing to be the vanguard! As long as the thieves dare to come, I, Baihutang, will definitely be the first to go. His grandma's, a group of Jianzhou slaves dare to come and plunder my Daming, and they will be blinded!"

Chen Jing also stood up abruptly, and said, "A man should protect his family and defend his country. Wouldn't it be nice to be shrouded in horse leather when his blood is spilled on the battlefield? Master, my Xuanwu Hall invites you to fight!"

Chen Jingnian was fourteen, and even though he was now at the seventh level of the Xuantong Realm, he still spoke in a childish voice, which didn't quite fit with the righteous and awe-inspiring rhetoric, which made Lai San'er burst out laughing.

Chen Jing blushed immediately, and then said angrily, "Lord Lai Xiang, why are you laughing? Am I wrong?"

Seeing that Chen Jing was angry, Lai San'er quickly apologized with a smile, "No, no, Master Chen Xiang, you are right, I was wrong, I was wrong."

Everyone was amused by Lai San'er's cheap appearance, even Qin Shuhuai couldn't help shaking his head and smiling.

Qiu Dali pondered for a while, and said, "Shu Huai, the Houjin bandits are not weak. If they want to enter the pass, they will have tens of thousands of troops. And my gang only has a few thousand people. How do you plan to fight? "

Everyone fell silent and looked at Qin Shuhuai quietly.

Qin Shuhuai said, "Everyone, have you heard of the enemy's rear, sparrow warfare, and guerrilla warfare?"

Seeing everyone looking at each other in blank dismay, Qin Shuhuai explained his thoughts to them in detail.

This set of things is naturally the time and space where Qin Shuhuai is, and the tactical idea was proposed.

To put it bluntly, it is to let the court and Houjin fight their lives in the front, while he waits for an opportunity to harass Houjin's rear, making Houjin exhausted, and achieving the purpose of delaying or even dragging them down.

To put it more bluntly, it is so exciting to fight an isolated city, grab food and grass, and run away after grabbing...

This method is not only very practical in terms of tactics, but also has a lot of room for the Jianghe Gang to advance and retreat, and has been unanimously approved by everyone.

After Qin Shuhuai mobilized again before the battle, he issued an order that all the churches immediately withdraw all gang members in Tongzhou to the main rudder and put them on standby. Only a symbolic number of gang members were allowed to stay on the pier.

After the meeting, Qin Shuhuai returned to his room.After opening the door, he froze for a while.

There were two people sitting in the room, one was Li Daliang, and the other was Chen Changting, who had disappeared for a long time.

Chen Changting looked good, and his injury should have healed.Undoubtedly, when Bei Beggar let him out, he was naturally asking him to create trouble for himself, to avenge the kidnapping of Bu Er San Ren and Yi Yi Yi last time.

So he must have known that he sent Bu Er San Ren and Yi Yi Yi to kill him.

When Chen Changting saw Qin Shuhuai, he smiled meaningfully, and said, "Protector Qin, oh no, I should call you Lord Qin! It's been a long time, and I miss you so much!"

Qin Shuhuai is not afraid of these two people, because he knows that Dongchang will definitely not attack him at this time.Even if Dongchang wanted to deal with him, he would first let Chen Changting go to Chongzhen to report that he had colluded with the Demon Cult, and only after getting Chongzhen's permission would he attack him.However, Dongchang failed to kill himself last time, which has already left a bad impression on Chongzhen.This time they went to tell Chongzhen that they had colluded with the Demon Cult, and Chongzhen probably wouldn't believe it.

So he smiled calmly and said, "Vice Chief Chen, you are back. I thought you were dead."

"How can I be willing to die if I haven't seen the heroic appearance of Chief Qin after ascending to the position of Chief?"

Qin Shuhuai walked up to Chen Changting, and jokingly said, "That's right. Deputy Chief Chen, now that you see this chief, shouldn't you kneel down and salute?"

Chen Changting restrained his smile, his complexion gradually darkened, and a gloomy glint flashed in his eyes.

He yelled sharply, "Qin Shuhuai, what crime should you have for deceiving your superiors, colluding with the Demon Sect, and harming your colleagues?"

Qin Shuhuai thought in his heart that Chen Changting, the dignified deputy gang leader, one of the founders of the Jianghe gang, and the elite of the East Factory, would actually come to him at this time to ask the teacher for his crimes, which is really naive.Now that the Jianghe gang is in his hands, and Chongzhen trusts him, so what if he admits it openly?This is the chief rudder of the Jianghe gang, can you kill me?

Just about to laugh, suddenly I thought something was wrong!
Even if Chen Changting got angry and naive for a while, how could Li Daliang be naive?Would he be so bored that he would accompany Chen Changting to fight with him?

Is this trying to set a trap for yourself?Behind the screen, there must be someone eavesdropping.

Hehe... Chongzhen, Chongzhen, don't you still believe me?

There was a sigh in my heart.Many historians in later generations said that Chongzhen had multiple personalities, but now Qin Shuhuai believes it a little bit.However, he is still willing to believe that on that sunny afternoon, the young man who sat shoulder to shoulder with him on the ground, exuberant and giving advice, is the real Chongzhen.That young man with red eyes holding his hands tightly is the real Chongzhen.

Gathering his thoughts, he said to Chen Changting with a serious face, "Vice Chief Chen, do you have any evidence for what you said? It is a capital offense to deceive the emperor and collude with the Demon Cult. You and I are officials in the same dynasty. I die?"

Chen Changting said angrily, "Qin Shuhuai, how dare you argue! If the law enforcement elders of the Beggar Gang hadn't happened to pass by that day, I would have been killed by the two demon leaders of the Demon Cult! Xiao Buchen has already told me everything, you are a demon at all. who teach!"

Qin Shuhuai laughed loudly, and said sarcastically, "Xiao Buchen? You're talking about that Xiao Buchen who practiced the Scorpio Demon Kung Fu? This man is cruel and vicious. No one in the Jianghu knows that you and this Kind of people work together! And I might as well tell you that the northern beggars have taken refuge in the thieves. Now that my Jianghe gang is shouting the slogan of 'protect the people and destroy the thieves', the northern beggars naturally want to get rid of the thieves first. I'll hurry up, you pig brain!"

Chen Changting didn't expect that Qin Shuhuai would not fall into the trap, so he said even more angrily, "Qin Shuhuai, don't argue! Since you appeared in Jianghe Gang, the Demon Cult has appeared more and more frequently in Qingwu Town. How do you explain this?"

Qin Shuhuai sneered, "Do you want me to explain why the Demon Cult appeared in Qingwu Town? Then if the golden thief appears in the pass in a few days, do you want me to explain again? You Dongchang want to kill me, why don't you do it now? Why do you need to find so many excuses?"

After finishing speaking, he suddenly raised his hand, smashed the table next to him with his palm, and roared, "Okay! You want to explain, right? Let me explain to you! I just colluded with the Demon Sect, deceived the emperor, and killed my colleagues." Right? But my biggest crime is being bewitched by a young man, violating the teachings of my teacher, and from then on when I entered the officialdom, my book business turned into a deathbed! Only this, I deserve to die, I deserve to die But even if you die, it’s still not your turn to do it. The barbarians will enter the customs in a few days. I promised someone that I would give my life to him, and I will definitely do what I said! This is the last time I will give my life to him , when Lao Tzu dies on the battlefield, you come to collect the body and ask your Duke to claim credit!"

After roaring hysterically, Qin Shuhuai found that his eyes were slightly wet.He couldn't help thinking, didn't he act for Chongzhen?When did it act like the real thing?

After yelling, he immediately left the house.The purpose of doing this is naturally for the people behind the screen to go out.

After Qin Shuhuai walked away, a person really came out from behind the screen, but it was a dignified and beautiful girl, like a flower and a jade!

Li Daliang stepped forward hurriedly, tapped the two big acupuncture points on the girl's back twice, and the girl gave a cry of Yingning before she could speak.It turned out that in order for the girl to hide her aura and not be noticed by Qin Shuhuai, Li Daliang tapped the girl's acupoints.

"Princess..."

The girl raised her slender hand and said, "Needless to say, let's go back to the palace."

The next day, the Royal Study Room.

Chongzhen frowned, staring at the aroma burner on the table for a long time without saying a word.

After a while, he raised his head, looked at the girl in front of him, forced a smile, and said, "Chan'er, did he really just say that?"

The girl called "Chan'er" by Chongzhen, whose full name is Zhu Huichan, was born to Taichang Emperor Zhu Changluo and a court lady. She is only one year younger than Chongzhen. It is reasonable to be Chongzhen's half-sister, but because of her mother's status Lowly, so she was not canonized as a princess.However, Zhu Huichan was smart and had a good relationship with Chongzhen since she was a child, and she was deeply liked by Chongzhen.So after Chongzhen ascended the throne, she was canonized as "Princess Hele".

"Princess Hele" Zhu Huichan, twenty-eight years old, proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and born beautiful, so many admirers.Chongzhen also intended to offer her a marriage, but she was declined repeatedly.

Sending her to "listen to the discussion" this time is also based on Chongzhen's complete trust in her.Although Chongzhen knew that the people around him, such as Wang Chengen and Wang Dehua, were loyal to him, he also knew that these people had their own agendas, and they would often embellish a matter according to their needs. It's a different look.So as a last resort, he had no choice but to send Zhu Huichan to "listen to the discussion".

Zhu Huichan smiled and said, "What's wrong with the emperor today? You've asked me three times. Yes, Chan'er has already told the emperor everything she heard, without missing a single word."

Chongzhen smiled self-deprecatingly, then heaved a long sigh, and fell into silence again.

After a while, he muttered to himself.

"Brother Qin... I have resentment in my heart!"

Zhu Huichan nodded and smiled lightly, "If I were him, I would have resentment."

Chongzhen looked at Chan'er dotingly, and said, "Chan'er, what do you think of Qin Shuhuai?"

Zhu Huichan smiled again, "He said he would sell you his life one last time, let's see how he sells it."

Chongzhen was silent, thoughtful.

……

It was midnight on October 26, the second year of Chongzhen.

Da'an Pass of the Great Wall.

(Phew~~ I have explained everything that needs to be explained. The change of the past is finally about to begin. This battle involves too many aspects, and it will take a lot of energy. Please recommend tickets, please fight chicken blood~ In addition, Zhu Huichan This character is fictitious, and she appeared entirely because of the needs of the follow-up plot, so you don't need to worry too much.)
