At the end of Qin, I became a son of the plane

Chapter 29, respective old friends

December 35, the 10th year of the First Emperor's reign.

The news of the Yangxian uprising finally spread, and the families of the 800 rebels were notified by Chen Lin and rushed to Yangxian one by one. They did not dare not to come. It was not Chen Lin who threatened them, but Qin Fa forced them to come. , Qin Law's Lianzhu system stipulates that if one person rebels, the whole family will be punished.

Their only way out at this time was that their family members defected to the rebel army, and one family rebelled, and five or ten families were implicated (the implication system is a system with very obvious advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that it increases the cost of rebellion for ordinary people, but the disadvantage is The chain reaction increased the number of rebels. Historically, the Chen Sheng and Wu Guang uprisings grew to a million troops in half a year. The Qin Dynasty's involvement system was indispensable.) Therefore, many of the family members of the rebels were all from the same village. With the addition of the rebel army and their family members, the entire Yang County began to become lively.

"Why are you here!" Xu Fan looked at the headmaster, Chen Sheng and other students in surprise.

Chen Sheng smiled and said: "Master, you have become a king, of course we will come to help you."

Chen Gang scolded: "You kid, you can say such nonsense."

But when he saw Xu Fan, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "You and Chen Lin have become the leaders of the rebellion. If we don't want to become the Qin Army's military exploits, we can only rebel with you."

Chenjun was the capital of Chu State at that time. When the Qin army invaded Chenjun, many people were killed. Chen Gang was a survivor of that year. He knew that the people in his village would have no way to survive if they did not escape, so he picked him up in Chenlin. When the children were young, Chen Gang took the entire Chen family to seek refuge with Xu Fan.

Xu Fan smiled and said: "The rebel army is short of manpower now, and your arrival will help me a lot."

Among the entire rebel forces, the only ones Xu Fan can truly trust are Chen Lin, Zhou Zhang and Deng Zong. However, it is difficult to cohere an effective organization with just these three people. The Chen family can be said to be Xu Fan’s most powerful force in this world. The foundation has been established, and students like Chen Sheng are his natural confidants. With these people as the core, Xu Fan can increase the cohesion of the rebel army, which is especially important for Xu Fan at this stage.

Then he asked Chen Gang to take advantage of his advantage and arrange the families of the rebels according to the village, so that they could be easily managed during the march.

Although Chen Sheng wanted to be a soldier, he was just a child in Xu Fan's eyes, so he incorporated Chen Sheng into the boy camp as the leader.

Zhou Zhang was the busiest among the rebels. After Xu Fan's mission was handed over, he immediately went to the Jing family, the largest household in Yang County, to ask for help.

Jing Yi, the contemporary head of the Jing family, is a good friend of Zhou Zhang. He is still alive and well even though he is imprisoned, thanks to the Jing family's management of Yang County. So now after the uprising, Zhou Zhang immediately thought of his friends.

He went to Jing Yi and said: "Now is a good opportunity for the restoration of the Chu Kingdom. The rebels in Yang County have ignited the first fire of the Qin Kingdom. Soon, the nobles of the six countries in the Guandong hometown will revolt, and the whole world will be in flames. The First Emperor, he He is so proud that the entire hinterland of the Central Plains is not heavily guarded. Now is the time for his arrogant army to be defeated."

But Jing Yi was not optimistic about the rebels in Yang County. None of the nobles of the six countries wanted to restore the country, but the First Emperor had dispersed their courage. Now that the First Emperor was still alive, they did not dare to rebel at all, and the scholars did not dare to bend their bows and complain, saying It is these nobles with big families and great businesses. The most righteous people from ancient times to the present are all paupers who have nothing. Because they have nothing, they have nothing to fear. The Jing family has a huge business. In Yang County alone, they have tens of thousands of acres of land and hundreds of servants. With such a large family business, they would not dare to rebel when they are not sure.

He persuaded Zhou Zhang: "In three days at most, the Qin army from Chen County will come to suppress the rebels. There is no way you can be a match for the Qin army with your small force. It is better for Brother Wen to break away from this group of rebels as soon as possible. Brother Wei has already contacted Dear Xiang Liang of Kuaiji County, Brother Wen used to plan military affairs for his father. You and he are also old friends, and he will take good care of everything for you."

Zhou Zhang did not want to leave at all. He continued to persuade: "Brother, Xu Fan, the leader of the rebel army, is very knowledgeable. He is a rare military wizard in the world. He has a set of strategies and tactics to deal with the Qin army. The Qin army must be difficult to destroy." We are the rebels, and with the addition of my eldest brother, our rebels will surely revive Da Chu faster."

But Jing Yi didn't believe that Xu Fan was a military prodigy at all. Xu Fan had settled in Yang County for more than a year and had only heard that he was a master who taught. There was no information about his ability to lead troops in combat. It's not a joke that a scholar is a military prodigy. And even if Xu Fan was really a military prodigy, Jing Yi didn't think that the 800-strong rebel army could defeat Qin's million-strong army. In his opinion, it was a miracle that Xu Fan's rebel army could hold on for a month without being destroyed.

Therefore, no matter how Zhou Zhang tried to persuade him, Jing Yi could not risk his family's lives to rebel with Xu Fan.

After several attempts at persuasion, seeing that Jing Yi was unmoved, Zhou Zhang could only say: "I'm asking my brother to do one last favor and sell all the Jing family's fleet, horse-drawn carriages, and ox-carts to our rebel army. We, the rebel army, are willing to pay double the price." Price to buy.”

Jing Yi felt a little resentful and said: "You have endured it for more than ten years, why can't you continue to endure it? As long as the First Emperor dies, the Qin Dynasty will be in chaos."

People like them, who are constantly poaching the Qin Dynasty from the bottom, find it easier to see that the bottom layer of the Qin State has collapsed. It is only relying on the prestige of the First Emperor to temporarily stabilize the situation of the Qin State. The nobles of the six countries who want to rebel are waiting. The death of the First Emperor, a man who could suppress the world.

Zhou Zhang laughed at himself and said: "My brother is nearly forty, and he can already call himself an old man. The age of the First Emperor is almost the same as that of my younger brother. Even if the First Emperor dies, I will become an old man. How can I start an uprising and overthrow the Qin State?" Are you going to live on crutches and revive Da Chu?"

Jing Yi was speechless and could only agree to use the Jing family's fleet, horse teams, and ox carts to sell them all to the rebels. The only requirement was that the rebels would transport the grain to the Jing family's granary at night.

Zhou Zhang agreed. Although he was angry that his old friend refused to join the rebel army, he did not want to bring disaster to his master.

The Jing family is worthy of being the richest man in Yang County. In order to obtain these transportation tools, the rebels paid a price of 2 shi of food.

At the same time, Xu Fan also met his old friend, Big Hammer who was in Chen's house. Because of Xu Fan's appearance, Big Hammer changed from a rural blacksmith to the current Yangxian County Engineer. Although this was much worse than he had imagined, relying on his craftsmanship in making Quyuanli, his life in Yang County was better than that in the Chen family.
