Carrying to the King of Tang?

Li Luo glanced at Wen Tianxiang, knew it in his heart, and said, "Mr. Wen, what should he do in your opinion?"

He believed that Wen Tianxiang's answer would not disappoint him.

Wen Tianxiang said loudly: "When you come back to the emperor, I think that it is enough to be king now, and you should be king. You should be king and win the hearts of the people of the world and inspire the morale of the Han people. If you are not king for a long time, the people in the world will misunderstand that the emperor has the intention of surrendering to the Yuan Dynasty. Even confuse the Duke of Tang and Duke of Yue!"

Li Luo smiled slightly when he heard this, and he knew that Wen Tianxiang would have something to say.

Sure enough, Wen Tianxiang continued: "But, you can't be called king now! It's not that you are concerned about the attack of the Yuan court, because whether the emperor calls him king or not, the Yuan court will not let me go. But if you call him king now and have this major event, the two important matters of training and clearing the countryside will inevitably be affected."

"So, the weak minister thinks that the king is king, and the arrow is on the string. But it takes a while to completely stabilize the south of the Yangtze River and defeat the siege of the Yuan army, and then advance to the King of Tang. In this way, it will not delay the training of troops and clear the countryside, but also prepare and prepare calmly, and it will also demonstrate the virtues of Tang and the favor of heaven."

Li Luo couldn't help but nodded. He and Wen really had a relationship with the king and his subjects. Wen's words were also what he meant.

The so-called "responsible proclaimer and accumulate grain" certainly makes sense, but if Li Luo copied this, it would be a carving boat and seeking a sword, seeking death.

Now is not the period of separatist rule by the heroes at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. At that time, the Yuan court had already declined greatly, so he could only stand up to attack whoever was to barely maintain the dignity of the court. If you don’t stand up, the court would pretend not to see it.

But now that the Yuan court is so powerful, Xiao Yin and several other rebels can't hold on. Li Luo just doesn't claim to be king, and the Yuan court will soon suppress it. He will never let it go or slow down just because Li Luo doesn't claim to be king.

A "rebel" like Li Luo is more hated by the Yuan court than the rebel army. Will he show mercy because he is "low-key"?

Nonsense.

In this case, becoming king would attract people's hearts and boost morale, allowing the people to see the Tang King's banner and the Yuan court compete with each other, and see Li Luo dare to fight for the world.

If you don’t claim to be king, then that’s... you don’t even dare to call yourself a king. Do you want to be at peace? You are lucky? You dare not break up with Meng Yuan and leave yourself a way out, trying to be Duke Yue again?

In this way, not only will the people lose their hearts, but the morale of the Tang army will be greatly affected. The Yuan army and the anti-Tang forces will become even more arrogant.

The so-called "God will not take it, but will be blamed instead. This is probably what it means. If you refuse to be king, it will really affect the overall situation, and it is not a joke.

Of course, it is not good to be the king now. The time point Wen Tianxiang said is the best solution.

Zheng Sixiao said: "Your Majesty, I think I will set a good day. July 9th is a good day. Today is the seventh day of the fifth lunar month, and there are two moons, which is just right."

As the monarch, Li Luo would not immediately agree to Wen Tianxiang and Zheng Sixiao, but said solemnly: "The king is a famous weapon, and the lord should also value it. How can he in vain? This matter will be discussed later."

The so-called "tolerant" discussion after adhering to the King of Tang is to agree and not object. Then it will be a foregone conclusion that the advance to the King of Tang two months later.

Wen Tianxiang saw Li Luo agreeing, and said something formally: "Your Highness is wise, wise, determined, magnificent, with a wall standing thousands of feet high, and a thousand miles straight, and a thousand miles away. He inherits the Guangwu of Nanyang, pursues the Zhou Wen of Xiqi, and has a high plan and a long-term understanding. He is outstanding in the world and is as majestic as the king's way!"

"If the king is the king, he will follow the heavens and respond to his orders. Peace will last for the time being and the people will be expected. If the king is not the king, what will happen to the people of the world?"

Li Luo sat upright and said, "I have said it with great sincerity." He still did not agree clearly, but the meaning was self-evident.

Wen Tianxiang also bowed again and said, "Your Majesty is the best."

Lin Biju, Zheng Sixiao and other civil officials also saluted together and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, you are a great charity!"

This is also a procedure for persuading the progress. The ruler and the ministers first establish a tacit understanding, and then after a while, they will persuade and refute, and then refuse again. In the end, they will accept it "reluctantly" and officially become king.

Although the generals did not hear Li Luo agree, they also knew what it meant, and each of them looked excited.

It was only two months, and they could wait.

After three rounds of wine, there was a thunderclap. The heavy rain that had been brewing for a long time finally broke out.

"Crazy-"

"Boom-"

The downpour of rain poured down, and the distant mountains were suddenly covered by heavy rain. The white water on Qiantang River was vast and there were no cattle and horses. The entire Wangjiang Tower was filled with water, and the maids' clothes were blown up.

What a heavy rain!

Seeing such heavy rain without any pain, everyone felt refreshed.

Li Luo suddenly had some thoughts, and after a little brewing, he spoke and said:

"The heavy rain fell on Qiantang, and the sky was vast. Look at the river tower. The vast storm and clouds are 80,000 miles away. Where do you know?"

"The past is tracing through the flowing light, and history is vast. When the tide was shot, there was the King of Wu. The Emperor of the Zhao family is not here now, so look at me in the Tang Dynasty."

As soon as this song "Langtaosha" was released, Cui Xiuning was amused, but the generals all thought that the poem "Your Shangshen" was grand and extraordinary, and it was really wonderful.

"Your Majesty has written a good poem!"

"What a wonderful poem! How wonderful! The Emperor of the Zhao family is not here now, look at me in the Tang Dynasty!"

The generals cheered and praised each other, not deliberately flattering, but really thought it was good. The emperor was just talented.

Li Luo has a black thread. I'm so stupid... This is not a poem, but a lyric! But if you really want to say it is a poem, it's actually not wrong.

Although Wen Tianxiang and other civil officials also praised "good words", they were a little insincere. In their opinion, this song "Taotaosha" is really too straightforward. Although it uses dictionaries, it lacks the melodious and graceful thoughts. The artistic conception is a bit worse after all.

However, it is not right to say that this poem is a low-quality poem. Especially for the monarch, this poem is magnificent and vast, with lofty ambitions. The emperor's aura bursts out and wins with momentum. Although it is not elegant, it has true meaning, and it is also considered a middle-class work.

As for why Choi Soo-ning is funny, it is unknown to outsiders.

As the chief secretary, Ma Zhiyuan immediately recorded this poem, marked as: On the seventh day of the fifth month of the fourth year, the emperor and his ministers feasted at the Wangjiang Tower of the Song Palace. It happened to be heavy rain and improvised.

But this man who was interested in poetry soon became difficult again, so he had to stand up and ask, "Dare you ask me, what is the name of this lyrics in "Langtaosha"?"

Hum? Li Luo was stunned when he heard this, and thought for a while and said, "Just call Wangjiang Tower to watch the rain."

So, Ma Zhiyuan solemnly recorded: Watching the rain at the Wangjiang Tower in Langtaosha.

After everyone used up the banquet, Li Luo explained some things and asked them to rush back to the garrison as soon as possible to carry out military training and rural cleaning. He also emphasized that prisoners were available, but they must be screened and screened.

The next day, Wen Tianxiang and others left Lin'an.

…………

In Lingxu Pavilion in Guide Palace, Lin Biju and other civil officials are reporting the latest statistical account book to Li Luo.

"...As a large number of people were hidden by the powerful, the real population in Jiangnan is unknown. The Weichen obtained it, and the household registration list of the former Song Deyou first year, totaling 4.8 million household registration and 15.27 million male and female population."

When Li Luo heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head. The first year of Deyou? The data is almost ten years old, so what's the use?

Lin Biju continued: "After the Mongolian Yuan occupied Jiangnan, there was no inventory of the population and land, which was entirely based on the declaration of local officials. The error was huge. In the 18th year of Zhiyuan, the number of various routes in Jiangsu and Zhejiang was 2.9 million, and the number of people and land was 9.4 million."

What?

Such a large Jiangnan, with only nine million people? He didn't believe that Li Luo was killed.

"I think that the population hidden by the powerful should be more than three million. For the current plan, it is better to collect taxes while cleaning the countryside and checking the population and land."

Li Luo nodded, "People who are super recruited to write arithmetic in various cities will check the population and acres in various prefectures and counties, and recreate the level of the book. Our army clears one place in the village, and you will check one place."

"No!" Lin Biju took the order. In fact, he had all the solutions, but Li Luo just needed to make the decision.

Lin Biju said again: "In addition, the total number of post horses and post horses on land and water stations in Jiangsu and Zhejiang was 3,700, 2,800 post boats and 2,200 post officials and postmen. The system is huge. However, our Tang Dynasty did not have a yamen to manage post stations, so please make a decision."

Li Luo said without hesitation: "The post station will be temporarily handed over to the soldiers and horse personnel, and will be in charge of the military and horse management."

Lin Biju mentioned the last important political matter, "Justice, refugees from all over the country have begun to provide relief. The poor ministers asked them to raise the city walls, dig deep trenches, build reservoirs and river embankments to help transport military supplies. However, many of those who are not refugees also come to eat relief grain, but it is difficult to identify."

Li Luo has received a report from the Special Inspection Bureau. It is estimated that there are more than 100,000 people who come to "eat and drink". But Li Luo did not take it seriously. These people pretended to be refugees to eat relief grain, and most of them were poor people, but they had not become refugees. As long as they work, it doesn't matter if they eat some food.

Seeing that Li Luo was not concerned, Lin Biju reminded him with a little anxiety: "The good teacher knows that although Jiangsu and Zhejiang are known as the hometown of fish and rice, this year, due to the war and the cleanup of the countryside, the food production will definitely be reduced after the farming season. The minister roughly calculated that it is not only difficult for us to receive taxes this year, but we have to pay 4 million stones of grain to provide disaster relief in Jiangnan alone."

Cui Xiuning couldn't help but say, "It won't be so serious, right?" Lin Biju calculated, and there was a big gap between the accounts she and Li Luo.

She and Li Luo believe that if they do not fight Fujian and Jiangxi this year and only occupy Jiangnan, they will have a maximum of two million grain relief, and they will receive grain taxes in the second half of the year. They will definitely be balanced by the end of the year, at least they will not lose money.

This is still with the consideration of the impact of war.

But now Lin Biju told them that in Jiangnan alone, it would cost four or five million stones of relief grain, and it would be difficult to receive taxes by the end of the year, which really surprised the two of them.

When Li Luo heard about the food, he was immediately a little panicked, "Tell me, why do you need so much? Now that it is less than June, autumn rice can still catch up, so why is there no grain tax?"

Lin Biju smiled bitterly and said, "In April, I attacked Jiangsu and Zhejiang, which was the critical farming season. In order not to leave food and grass for our army, the gentry destroyed a lot of farmland, resulting in more than half of the summer rice being less than in previous years. The Lord and Mrs. know about this."

"And at the end of March, three million stones of grain in Jiangnan were transported to Dadu. At the beginning of the year, Zhang Hongfan conquered southern troops and collected 500,000 stones of grain in Jiangnan. Wanzhedu conquered Huang Hua in Jiangxi and 500,000 stones of grain in Jiangnan. It can be said that there is no grain stored in Jiangnan. You know these."

"So, the people of Jiangsu and Zhejiang are eager to count on summer grain! But now the summer grain production will definitely be reduced, and this summer will be famine! Once the famine is famine, according to previous practices, at least millions of people will become refugees."

"There are more refugees, more relief grain, and less farming. In addition, Jiangsu and Zhejiang still have to fight, and people are in panic, and autumn grain will be greatly reduced... Therefore, we hope that the autumn grain will be taxed and the shortfall will be eliminated, but we cannot count on it. This year, we will lose at least four million stones."

Li Luo and Cui Xiuning understood. Compared with Lin Biju, they did not know much about rural farming and ignored the practice of leaving the fields and becoming refugees when they were famine.

Li Luo's heart and soul were in pain when he heard that he would lose at least four million stones this year.

This is food, not gold and silver. Food will be very in short supply within a few years.

Zheng Sixiao also said: "Your Majesty, Jiangnan has a population of more than 10 million, and it is already good to lose 4 million stones of grain. As long as it stabilizes, Jiangnan will be able to collect 10 million stones next year. My Tang still has 10 million stones of reserve grain, which is enough to support until next summer."

Li Luo said: "Lin Qing, how is the matter of buying grain? Try to exchange gold and silver for food."

Lin Biju said: "Now there is no food to sell in the south. There are so many places fighting, and it is difficult to buy large amounts of food. In Fujian, a stone of rice has increased to seven jin of money, and a discount of three taels of silver is given."

Li Luo sneered, "It doesn't matter, I, Tang, have a big granary, and I am not afraid of having no food."

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other and laughed.

The big granary mentioned by Li Luo of course refers to the gentry and clan in Jiangnan.

Their granary was full of money and food. Since they resisted the Tang army, they should perish in the Qing village, so that their money and food would be used by the Tang Kingdom.

…………………

There were only a few hundred guards and a few hundred maids in the Zhao Song Palace, so it seemed very empty. Li Luo had to tune Yan Fence's firearm group and the Tiger Teeth Imperial Guard into the palace to protect the safety.

Now the Tang army is scattered everywhere. In the huge Lin'an City, there is only one firearms brigade, one Jurchen cavalry brigade, one infantry brigade, and more than two thousand people. There are less than 20,000 soldiers and horses.

However, the public security in Lin'an City is now very good. After Li Luo took over Lin'an, he issued an edict to take Lin'an as his presidency, suppressed a large number of corrupt officials and gentry, cleaned up the green gangsters, and purged the neighboring market. The entire Lin'an City suddenly became a new one.

The people of Lin'an finally got rid of the oppression of the Tartar government and were no longer inferior, but were all proud. In addition, the Tang army was strict in discipline and did not violate it. The Tang State system was well-established, everything was renewed, with a dignified style and a revitalized spirit, which made the people more supportive of the Tang State.

During this period, the Great Governor's Shogunate issued an order to prohibit shaving his hair and braids, using Hu's name and wearing Hu's clothes. Anyone who violates the ban will be rectified immediately, and violators will be punished for the crime of charming the emperor.

For the stubborn man with braids, "Leave your head but not your braids, leave your braids but not your head."

After ordering, tens of thousands of braided hairmen in the city rushed to cut off the two pig tails on their heads, and many of them suddenly became "monks".

In addition, Li Luo also issued a "light tax and low tax order" in the name of the prime minister.

The "light tax and low tax order" stipulates that except for specialty items such as salt and iron tea, the rural and commercial taxes will only be 20% levy and all the taxes on the Yuan court will be abolished. Except for households, no one has the right to collect taxes.

In addition to major issues concerning the life and death of the people of the country, the Tang Dynasty would not collect corvee labor free of charge, and would be compensated for any levy, so as to reduce the burden on the people to serve labor.

In addition, it is stipulated that the landlord rents the land to the tenant. After deducting 20% ​​of the tax, the landlord shall not exceed 40%.

It is equivalent to tripling the income of tenants.

How much was it before? The land rent in Jiangnan area was as high as 50% (average), which exceeded the Song Dynasty. Tenants took 50% of their output and paid half of their harsh taxes.

If a tenant in Jiangnan rents ten acres of land, produces two stones per mu, and harvests forty stones per mu, which seems to be a lot. But if you have to pay 20 stones of land rent and then pay a tax worth ten stones (including banknotes and silk), then only five stones are left.

Wushi grain is the food for this tenant's annual food, so how can it be enough for it?

What should I do if I don’t have enough food? I borrowed usury from my home.

What did you say, can't afford it?

It doesn’t matter, if you can’t afford it, you can’t afford it. As long as you are obedient and be honest as a serf.

In this way, the landlords and powerful people used high land rent and loan sharks to turn tenants into serfs, causing them to lose their personal freedom and control a large population.

With official positions, money, and population, the "wild emperor" in the countryside of the Yuan Dynasty was formed.

Therefore, in response to this, the "light tax and low tax order" also ordered the ban on usury. All private usury debts will be invalidated and only the principal and low interest will be repaid.

The "light tax and low tax order" has received a great response in the city, and most of the people in the city are excited. This is simply lifting the shackles on them and making their lives easier in an instant.

This is a moral polity that has eternal eternal power!

The virtues and politics that the Song Dynasty did not have in three hundred years!

Mr. Tang is really a benevolent king!

The people in Lin'an City are also changing with each passing day. When talking about Tang and Li Luo, they are all respectful.

"The Zhao Guan family is gone. We have been slaves for so many years and suffered a lot. But so what? Mr. Tang is fighting back! Our Lin'an people turn over, but they are still at the foot of the emperor!"

"Old Man Liu, don't talk nonsense. Duke Tang did not ascend the throne and become emperor! There is no reason at the feet of the emperor."

"Why is it unreasonable? You don't understand! Mr. Tang is determined to restore the Han family's territory, be kind and loving the people, and strong soldiers and horses. That is a matter of destiny. Ascending the throne and becoming emperor is a matter of time. At most two or three years, Mr. Tang can be the emperor. Do you believe it?"

"Brother Liu is right. Mr. Tang is the true dragon emperor and will ascend the throne sooner or later. I heard that Xiao from Huguang... Yes, Xiao Yin has also ascended the dragon throne. However, it is said that this person is the reincarnation of a dragon snake, not a real dragon. But he was born to openly teach the truth for the true dragon. I think it should be for Mr. Tang. He is the open sect for Tang!"

"Who said no! Zhang Banxian in the west of the city had a big hexagram, saying yes, the five dragons hold a dragon, and the foundation is in the east of the sea! Where is the east of the sea? Do you know? It is the basis for Mr. Tang in the sea."

"No, the five dragons hold a dragon... Now Xiao Yin from Huguang calls himself the Emperor of Daliang, a dragon. Huang Hua from Jiangxi calls himself the King of Wu, and is also a dragon. In addition, the Zhao Guan family in Guangzhou, who is most likely to be unable to do anything, there are only three dragons! There are two more?"

"There are two more, probably not yet out. Besides, Zhang Banxian may not be so accurate. This is the secret of heaven. How dare he reveal it?"

"Just say only one thing, who is Mr. Wen? That's the star Wenqu came to earth. He originally helped the Zhao official family assist the Song Dynasty, but the Zhao official family didn't use it. But now, Mr. Wen is assisting Mr. Tang, and he still needs to be used by Mr. Tang. It can be seen that Mr. Tang must be a real dragon."

"Just. Who is Mr. Tang? He is a descendant of the Tang Dynasty. Of course, the descendants of Emperor Taizong have a destiny. Is it necessary for Zhang Banxian to calculate?"

"Okay, don't say this. When it comes to Gong Tang's ears, he may not like to hear it. He just said that at present, the commercial tax in our store has been reduced by most of the time, and life is better. But don't forget that this is Gong Tang's grace. If the Tartars fight back, will we still have a good life?"

"Yes! That's the reason! Never let the Tartars come back again! We should do our best, don't ask the Tartars to come back! Aren't the Tang army recruiting new recruits? Well, that boy from my family is very strong, so let him be the army!"

The people in Lin'an, Jiangning and other cities were talking about it everywhere, which can be said that the people's hearts returned to the Tang Dynasty.

However, in the vast rural areas, the impact of "light taxes and levies is much smaller".

It is obvious that before the completion of the clearance of the countryside, the "light taxes and levies" could not be promoted in the countryside.

…………

Wuxing, Shenjiawu Fort.

Wuxing is a famous county in Jiangnan and is under the jurisdiction of Huzhou Road. But when it comes to Wuxing Shen family, it is not only famous for Huzhou Road, but also the entire Jiangnan.

Although the status of the aristocratic clans was lost hundreds of years ago, the Shen family has always been one of the most powerful people in Huzhou.

As long as we know that the Shen family occupied one-quarter of Wuxing's fertile land, monopolized one-fifth of Taihu Lake, and controlled more than 20,000 people, we will know the power of the Shen family.

For thousands of years, the Shen family has always been a local snake in Huzhou. In Wuxing, the magistrate’s words did not work. Apart from Dalu Wachi, the Shen family had the final say.

In the countryside of Wuxing, the head of the Shen family was called the wild emperor, which shows that.

But at this time, Shen Yebuhua, the chief of the Shen family who had been in power for many years, was sitting in the ancestral hall with a frown and discussing affairs with a group of old men.

The grand and solemn ancestral hall is full of the ancestors of the Shen family, and the middle one is Shen Yue.

I wonder what Shen Yue would think when he learned that his descendants changed to the name of "Shen Ye Buhua".

Although he was not a clan for a long time, the Shen family was still a scholarly family through the imperial examination. The head of the family Shen Ye served as a doctor in the Ministry of Revenue in the Song Dynasty. After being demoted to the Yuan Dynasty, he became a left-level political attendant in the province.

Seeing that the Great Yuan Dynasty was conquering the world, the Shen family's children were also recommended to the officialdom. The old Shen Yebuhua finally retired and returned home with satisfaction.

However, Shen Yebuhua did not feel at ease to be a wealthy and idle person in the forest, but became a wild emperor.

As the saying goes, evil people will be kind when they grow old. It means that bad people will become kinder when they grow old.

But Shen Ye Buhua is just the opposite. When he was young, he was a romantic scholar. Although he had the habit of being a rich child, he was not a bad person.

But as soon as we are about to come, we become more and more fierce as we get old.

The reason why Shen Yebuhua became a villain was that the Yuan court officials granted him the right to collect taxes on behalf of others and the villages of peace.

In less than ten years, the Shen family relied on the power given by the Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty to collect intensive taxes, seized plunders, and occupied the countryside, accumulating a lot of wealth.

The Shen family made a fuss in Wuxing, and the children of the family lived a wealthy and luxurious life, and even replaced the law with words and killed the villagers. Many of the children of the Shen family acted as the leader of the countryside and acted as the mighty and blessed.

During the Song Dynasty, although the Shen family was also free and easy, it was far behind that in the Yuan Dynasty.

Therefore, the Shen family supported the Yuan court from the bottom of their hearts.

But this good life is less than ten years old, and Li Luo, who killed thousands of swords, rebelled! He also killed provincial officials and harmed gentry. What's wrong!

In less than a month, the rebels occupied every county in the entire Jiangnan region. Now, rebel soldiers are stationed in Huzhou City and Wuxing County.

Seeing that the rebels were merciless to the gentry and their troops were sharp, Chen Ye was certainly afraid, and even had the idea of ​​temporarily joining the rebels. However, when he found out that the rebels asked the gentry to hand over the occupied land to the common people, release the slaves and donate money and food, Chen Ye immediately became determined to fight the rebels.

He believed that the Dayuan Tianjun would definitely be back soon!

By then, the thief Li Luo will be killed in the nine clans and the whole family will be slackened.

What else is he afraid of?

As long as the Dayuan Iron Cavalry arrives, the Shen family will not only be able to save it, but also make contributions.

"Liulang, how many rebels in Wuxing City are there? Have you found out clearly?" Chen Ye asked his nephew Chen Zhu.

Chen Zhu stood up and said, "It was finally difficult to find out that there are 500 people in Wuxingcheng and 2,000 people in Huzhou. The entire Huzhou Road is estimated to be around 5,000. The commander of the general was a woman named Yang Qingque. Tang... There are not many rebels, but they are all elites and it is difficult to deal with."

An old clan sneered at him, "Hmph, Li Luo is really ridiculous. He actually made the woman a general. It seems that no one in the rebels can use it, and the rabbit's tail."

Chen Ye Buhua shook his head, his turbid old eyes were very gloomy, "Don't underestimate the women. The Ding family and the Qiao family were killed. Isn't this woman doing a good thing? I heard that Chen Shuzhen was defeated in southern Zhejiang, and she is also a rebel general."

Another clan elder said with a worried look: "Second brother, my family only has two thousand militias. Although they have quickly built weapons, they have no armor. How can they be the opponent of the rebels' 500 armored soldiers? If they destroy other families, they will come to Shenjiawu Fort soon."

Chen Ying, son of Chen Ye, also said: "The rebel artillery is powerful. Although my Shenjiawu Fort is strong, it may not be able to stop it."

The Shenjiawu Fort was built in the pre-Song Dynasty. It has been built over the years and is very strong. What’s ridiculous is that it was to guard against the Yuan army. Forts like the Shen family were everywhere in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, it caused a lot of trouble to the Red Turban Army.

Chen Ye snorted coldly, "Didn't the rebels claim to protect the people? Didn't they engage in light taxes and taxes to win people's hearts? Then let the people in the country guard the fort. If they fire artillery and stone attack, the people will be killed first."

Chen Zhu said, "Uncle, the master, is a brilliant plan! Also, although Wuxingcheng has 500 rebels and has also controlled the county government, he still has to leave troops to guard the city. The maximum number of people can be dispatched is 300."

Chen Ye slammed his cane heavily, and the wrinkles on his face became a little hideous. He gritted his teeth and said, "Then let's fight! I have two thousand militia groups and the people help me, so why fear me of just three hundred people! I don't believe that they are all Mongolian cavalry who serves ten!"

"Li Luo doesn't give me a way to live, and I won't give him a way to live! At most one month, when the heavenly soldiers arrive, let's see how he dies!"

Another clan elder said: "Before you want to win, be sure to lose first. Brother, if the fort is broken..."

Chen Yebuhua said: "The fourth brother, I know what you mean. But my family has so much food, gold and silver, and it is difficult to transfer it to other places, and it is impossible to hide it from people's eyes and ears. It is safer to hide it in the fort and guard the fort."

At this moment, a child of the Shen family suddenly rushed into the ancestral hall panting, "Uncle, the rebels have left the city, they must be coming for my house! At most one hour, you will be here!"

Chen Ye suddenly stood up, his old body seemed to be full of strength.

He threw away his cane, walked to the spiritual throne of his ancestors, knelt down and kowtowed, revealing his ugly hair braids, and said in a deep voice: "Ancestors bless you! Bless unworthy descendants to fight off the thieves and protect the ancestral hall! Don't let the Shen family break away from their descendants!"

A large number of people knelt down and kowtowed, and several of them were exposed, all of whom were exposed to their bare heads and two thin braids in their ears. Chen Ye’s eldest son was even wearing Mongolian clothes and had large golden rings hanging on his ears.

After worshiping his ancestors, Chen Ye took the lead in leaving the ancestral hall and personally rang the bell of the fort. Suddenly, a tide-like sound came from the entire fort.
Chapter completed!
