Starting from crossing the Fengshen

Chapter 41

"me……"

Chen Yucheng's expression flashed with resentment as he recalled, but he soon calmed down and said: "After the fall of Anqing, I was trapped in Luzhou, isolated and helpless. At that time, King Miao Peilin sent a secret letter inviting me Go to Shouzhou and attack Kaifeng together.

I believed it to be true, but I didn't expect that this person had already been secretly surrendered.

In this way, I threw myself into a trap and was seriously injured and arrested in Shouzhou.

Fortunately, the sergeant who was guarding me took good care of me, and my injuries improved. Later, I was sent to Yingzhou by Miao Peilin and handed over to the Imperial Envoy Shengbao, who was preparing to escort me to Beijing.

But I was worried that Zhang Lexing would rob the prisoner, so he wanted to kill me on the spot.

At that time, my injuries were mostly healed, so I looked for an opportunity to escape from prison and fought my way out of the siege.

Shengbao didn't dare to report the matter, so he found someone similar to me as a scapegoat.

Although I fought my way out of the siege, my foundation was also damaged. It took me more than ten years to gradually recover. Then I looked around, walked many places, and finally came here.

you get up.

By the way, what about you?
Besides you, are there any other brothers? "

"Miao Peilin deserves death!"

Shi Zhongkui cursed angrily, stood up and said: "I was seriously injured in the battle at Chiganling. After I recovered from my injuries, I heard the bad news about you.

Your Majesty, you also know the situation in Tianjing at that time.

I simply lived in seclusion and did not return to Tianjing.

Less than two years later, Tianjing was conquered by Zeng Guofan, and our kingdom of heaven was gone.

But I was unwilling to do so, so I secretly found a lot of old brothers and took them to Shanyin Mansion, where I hunkered down and secretly accumulated strength.

Now we have controlled all the gangs in Shanyin Prefecture, and other prefectures in Zhejiang also have gangs under our control.

In addition, we also secretly controlled seven cottages.

The total number of them has exceeded [-], nearly half of whom have undergone rigorous training. "

Speaking of this, he looked at Chen Yucheng with burning eyes and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, originally we were preparing to start a rebellion, but we were still a little nervous. We knew that we might not be Qing Yao's opponent, but we just didn't want to die in vain. But now that we have you, we have With your guidance, we will definitely be able to continue the great cause of the Kingdom of Heaven."

When Chen Yucheng heard this, his heart, which had been calm for more than 30 years, started beating again.

In his heart, he is still the general who controls the battlefield.

He joined the Taiping Army at the age of 14, and grew up through fighting on the battlefield. He spent almost the first half of his life in killing, and he had long been accustomed to that kind of life.

Of course, more importantly, he felt regretful.

It is a pity that he could not turn the tide to save the Kingdom of Heaven and failed to overthrow the Manchu Qing court.

Thinking of this, his eyes flashed and he asked, "What was your original plan?"

Shi Zhongkui was overjoyed and said quickly: "With Shanyin Prefecture as our base, we strive to control all gangs in Shanyin Prefecture and train gang members. At the same time, we also control local gangs in key cities in other prefectures in Zhejiang.

In this way, when we rise up, we can quickly sweep across Zhejiang.

Zhejiang has a developed economy and a dense population.

By controlling this place, we can quickly expand our army and prepare for war, go north to regain Tianjing, and rule across the river from Qingyao. "

Having said this, he paused and continued: "Now that I have become the leader of the Caohe Gang, I have completed the first phase of the goal and controlled all the gangs in Shanyin Mansion. The next step is to start an uprising.

We are preparing to start an uprising in all counties in Shanyin Prefecture at the same time, focusing on Shanyin City.

Wealthy businessmen gather here, such as the Yin family, Chen family, etc. If we destroy them, we will not only gain huge wealth, but also control their industries to continuously generate blood for us. "

Chen Yucheng raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "Is Lu Xianba one of ours?"

"No." Shi Zhongkui shook his head. He understood what Chen Yucheng was thinking: "Lu Xianba seems to have colluded with other families in dealing with the Yin family. And if we want to deal with the Yin family, it must be when there is an uprising. Your Majesty, do you want to deal with the Yin family? Mansion…?”

Chen Yucheng thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "Yin Chengtao and Yin Xuan and his son treated me very politely. Yin Qi can also be regarded as my disciple. He is extremely talented and I like him very much.

As for the Yin family, we don’t have to deal with them.

Whenever something goes wrong, because of my relationship, they have to stand with us.

We are all rough people, good at fighting and killing.

But when it comes to local governance and business development, people like Yin Chengtao are still needed. "

Chen Yuchengdu spoke, and Shi Zhongkui nodded naturally.

And as Chen Yucheng said, they are all rough people. They don't know how to govern a place. They must recruit people. With Chen Yucheng's relationship, the Yin family can only rely on them.

Otherwise, even if they fled to Jiangbei, the Yin family would be liquidated by the Manchu and Qing court.

Chen Yucheng added: "Don't spread any news about me for the time being. Inform the brothers below and prepare secretly. As soon as the time comes, we will start an attack immediately and control Shanyin Mansion first."

Shi Zhongkui said excitedly: "Yes, Your Majesty."

…………

The next day, noon.

Yin Mansion, restaurant.

When Yin Qi walked into the restaurant, he saw Yin Chengtao and his wife, Yin Xuan and Yin Shishi laughing and talking.

It can be seen that everyone is in a good mood today.

During this time, Yin Qi was eating in the yard by himself, but Yin Chengtao asked him to come over today, saying that the family hadn't had a meal together for a long time, so he had no choice but to come.

"Dad, mother, big brother, little sister!"

Yin Qi said hello and walked to the dining table to sit down. At this time, the table was already filled with wine and food.

Perhaps because Yin Qi behaved well during this period, Yin Shishi did not look at him coldly, but she was almost like a stranger. She didn't even respond and just looked at him indifferently.

Yin Chengtao said with a smile: "Qi'er is here. Our family hasn't sat down to eat together for a long time. Come, come, come, everyone, use your chopsticks and take the opportunity to see Xuan'er off."

Yin Shishi asked hurriedly: "Dad, is eldest brother leaving again?"

Yin Chengtao said: "Well, my family is planning to build a large steam engine factory. The equipment has been transported to the dock and is being unloaded and put into storage. In the afternoon, your eldest brother will go to Shanghai to apply for a loan from a foreign bank."

"Steam engine factory!"

Yin Shishi exclaimed and said excitedly: "Dad, this is a good industry, used in various factories. By the way, brother, when you go to Shanghai, remember to bring some film back for me."

Yin Xuan nodded happily and said: "Okay, I will bring more for you."

Yin's mother was a little worried: "Sir, how much money does it cost to open a steam engine factory? Why do we have to go to Shanghai to find a foreign bank loan? Those foreign devils eat people without spitting out their bones. We have to be careful."

Yin Chengtao said with a smile: "Madam, although it costs a lot of money to set up a factory, you can still make a lot of money, and our country also needs such a steam engine factory. As for the loan, don't worry. Although foreigners are treacherous, they are still very good. Those with integrity.”

Seeing her husband say this, Yin's mother felt relieved.

Only Yin Qi secretly curled his lips. The European and American powers belonged to a maritime civilization and a pirate civilization. They focused on the law of the jungle and the strong, and they had no credibility at all.

If they are talking about credibility, it must be because credibility can bring them more profits.

Once their credibility cannot bring them more profits, they will tear off all disguises and reveal their sharp fangs. They can do anything without a bottom line.

However, he had never participated in the family business and did not understand it, so he did not express any opinions.

I think foreigners at this time would probably keep their word in order to make money.
