"Admiral Chen ordered Xu County Zunyun to come to the doctor. Did he say that our injured brothers are saved?"

"Yes, the injured brothers are saved. Admiral Chen's move is undoubtedly a recreational grace!"

"It was me who repays kindness with grudges and forgets Chen Yichen's help, but instead questioning that he is lying to us for help!"

"I also forgot to remember the relief over the years and the food and grass support from Jianning Mansion are really heartless!"

"And I."

"Fareless face to face Admiral Chen!"

A sound of guilt and apology sounded from time to time among the rebels.

Especially the miners under Ye Zongliu and Lu Ding under Jiang Fucheng, they have been deeply taken care of by Chen Yichen in recent years.

If it weren't for his inspiration to the overseas smuggling trade with Japanese slaves, it would be no exaggeration to describe it, at least half of the miners Lu Ding would not live today.

Faced with these voices, Chen Yichen still smiled faintly and ignored it, but instead focused his attention on Deng Maoqi.

Since the other party can use the power of public opinion and the arrival of the Three Guards of Fuzhou to lead the soldiers of the Central Rebel Army to "force the palace" to him. Then Chen Yichen can also use the reversal of Xu Fengyuan's material assistance to force Deng Maoqi to make a choice.

If you fight or surrender, choose one of two!

"Captain Deng and Xu Xianzun's herbs have arrived in Quanzhou City. I have proved with my actions that he is not empty talk."

"Then now I need a definite answer from Chief Deng. Are you willing to give these 100,000 brothers and their families a way out, or do you want to lead them to death for your own king's dominance?"

At the end of his words, Chen Yichen's aura was extremely sharp, and he stared at Deng Maoqi in front of him.

As long as the other party reveals the idea of ​​fighting, he will undoubtedly die!

Not only Chen Yichen wanted this answer, but the tens of thousands of uprising soldiers gathered in the camp also wanted to know the true thoughts of the "Shauling King".

After all, there are only a few who can live safely with their family and are willing to die.

Feeling Chen Yichen's oppression and feeling the expectation of the brothers beside him, Deng Maoqi's face looked extremely solemn.

On the one hand, he was his heroic ambitions, his anger and resentment towards the court. On the other hand, he was the lives of brothers and brothers, and the last chance given by Shen Yichen. He knew very well that his answer would determine the fate and future of the Fujian Rebel Army.

Just when Deng Maoqi was in a difficult situation, Ye Zongliu, who had never clearly expressed his attitude in front of everyone, took a step forward and said: "Brothers of robes, Ye and Admiral Chen have known each other for many years. It can even be said that this life was saved by Admiral Chen, and he knows the other party's character."

"The court had no intention of recruiting peace. Admiral Chen gave up his position as the emperor and took the initiative to go to the Fujian Admiral for military affairs, so as to find a way to recruit and survive for us."

"No matter what the result is this time, I, Mr. Ye, always trusted Admiral Chen and was willing to surrender to the court!"

Ye Zongliu's public statement undoubtedly dropped a bombshell on the rebel army.

Although with the increase of strength, the true leader of the Fujian Uprising Army had transitioned to Deng Maoqi. However, Ye Zong stayed in Fujian for many years to fight against the government, and his qualifications and reputation were still superior to the junior leaders of the Uprising Army.

His statement will undoubtedly play a decisive role!

"And me!"

Another shout came from behind Chen Yichen. Jiang Fucheng, Youxi's furnace head, said: "I, Jiang, have also been favored by the Admiral Chen over the years. We cannot be indifferent to being a person. We can pick up the bowl and eat, put down the bowl and curse our mother."

"No matter whether Admiral Chen represents the court or not, as long as he expresses his promise, I, Jiang, will be convinced and willing to accept the revenge with Chief Ye!"

The leaders of the three major rebel army stood up and clearly expressed their acceptance of the court's revenge, so everyone's eyes were placed on Deng Maoqi, waiting for his final answer.

Not willing to give up!

This is the most true portrayal of Deng Maoqi's heart at this moment.

He started as a small tenant farmer, upholding justice for poor peasants, and fighting against bad and rich landlords. He then seized the opportunity of tying taxes and taxes, gathered people to revolt and occupy the mountains and become kings, and controlled 100,000 rebels under his command, and divided half of Fujian.

But now Chen Yichen does not abandon his troops and soldiers, and forces himself to accept the court's revenge and voluntarily serves as the head of the emperor!

Without the two armies confrontation, or even defeated without a single shot, how could Deng Maoqi be willing to do so?

But many times, it’s not that you are unwilling to give up that you can turn the situation around. Chen Yichen has already controlled the “general trend” of the rebel army. Deng Maoqi has had little experience after all, and has not completely controlled the army in full, so he cannot go against the trend.

"If Admiral Chen really had the heart to save our brothers in robes, Mr. Deng would be grateful and would like to exchange death for the court's pardon for the rebel army."

"But it is related to the lives of 100,000 rebels, and countless dead Fujian people have not yet sought justice. Deng needs a letter of surrender from Admiral Chen!"

A letter of submission?

Hearing this word, Chen Yichen's pupils suddenly shrank.

When he arrived in Fuzhou, Chen Yichen used the head of his former guard commander Dou Yi as a letter of fame to win allegiance to the three guards of Fuzhou.

Now what kind of letter of surrender in exchange for the surrender of the 100,000 rebels?

"Okay, I promise you and say it."

Without too much hesitation, Chen Yichen agreed directly.

Now the negotiations on the recruitment have reached the most critical moment. In front of the 100,000 rebels, neither Deng Maoqi nor Chen Yichen had room to retreat.

"I am willing to use my life to exchange for the culprit of Fujian's harsh taxes. The right governor Song Zhang's head of Xiang Shang, will Admiral Chen dare to agree?"

The ultimate root of the turmoil in Fujian was that the Ming Dynasty's finances transformed from physical taxes to silver standard, requiring a large amount of silver to be circulated as currency.

The secondary reason is the military expenditure deficit caused by several Luchuan expeditions and the treasury void caused by year-on-year disasters, which increased the tax amount for the people.

However, the direct fuse that led to the miserable life of the people was the increase in taxation at all levels of governments, and the right governor Song Zhang finally ignited the bomb of the Southeast Uprising in order to collect enough 30,000 taels of gold to bribe Wang Zhen.

Since the court cannot overthrow it and Wang Zhen cannot pursue it, there must be someone responsible for the dead people in Fujian and let the rebel army seek justice and calm down a resentment.

Song Zhang is the initiator!

Chen Yichen understands the principle of paying back debts and killing people to pay for their lives.

In terms of crime and sentence, it is not an exaggeration to behead ten times due to the consequences of the riot caused by Song Zhang. But in many cases, not everyone can deserve it, especially at the level of local officials like the governor, it is even more difficult to conquer them.

Chen Yichen dared to kill Dou Yi unscrupulously because the civil servant group controlled the government and the country, and he could join forces with eunuchs like Xining to suppress the influence.

If there is no intention to attack Song Zhang, the consequences will not be suppressed in any case. The sorrowful impeachment of Fujian governors is enough to get Chen Yichen escorted back to Beijing to question for guilt.

Deng Maoqi's words aroused the bloody debt hatred deep in the hearts of many rebels.

They trust Chen Yichen and are willing to recruit peace now, but after so many villagers died, one person will eventually be held accountable.

If even the culprit Song Zhang can continue to be at large and at ease as the highest chief of the Fujian Provincial Administration, what is the significance of the death of the brothers in robes?

When Chen Yichen returns to Beijing successfully the next day, everything will return to the starting point!

"Admiral Chen, the family of six died at the hands of the officers and soldiers. There must be a dog official to pay his life!"

"That's right, Admiral Chen, we can submit to the court's envoy, but we have to give justice."

"Admiral Chen, I am willing to use my low life to exchange for the head of Song Gouguan!"

"Admiral Chen, only Song Zhang's head can pay tribute to the people of Fujian, can they rest in peace."

"Please be the leader of the Admiral Chen!"

Accompanied by the word "王", an uprising soldier fell to the ground with tears on his face red.

With the first one, the second one kneeled down. Almost in a blink of an eye, tens of thousands of onlookers watched, kneeling down and wailing everywhere.

"Deng Maoqi, ask Admiral Chen to be the leader!"

Even Deng Maoqi, under this scene, lowered his head and knelt in front of Shen Yichen.

In addition to the ambition of a hero, Deng Maoqi also has the loyalty of a hero.

People's hearts have never been a single choice question. If Deng Maoqi had only ambition but no loyalty, he would not have been able to be supported by everyone, and he would not have been able to become the leader of a hundred thousand rebels.

If Chen Yichen could really solve everything and seek justice for the Fujian people who died in vain, Deng Maoqi was convinced!

"Please be the leader of the Admiral Chen!"

As Deng Maoqi knelt down, Ye Zongliu, Jiang Fucheng, behind Chen Yichen, and even Canghuotou, Wang Neng and others who had been loyal to them for several years, all knelt down and prayed.

There is no other reason. They are also from Fujian. Their bloodlines are constantly giving up, and they empathize with grief and anger!

Under this situation, Chen Yichen had no chance of rejection. He could only focus on it and said: "Okay, I promise you to use Song Zhang's head to comfort the spirit of heaven who died in the sky for several years in Fujian!"

The loud and vocal words made the rebels in the audience burst into tears, and many people couldn't help but cry with joy.

Only Lin Zhen, Wu Rui and other court officials had extremely serious expressions on their faces. They could not imagine how Chen Yichen took off Song Zhang's head, let alone Wang Zhen, who was powerful in the court and the country, stood behind the other party.

If Chen Yichen wanted to re-kill Dou Yi's method, he could almost make a conclusion in advance that he could not cover it up, which would cause trouble and lose all his life.

The recruitment has now turned into a double-edged sword.

The rebels who received a satisfactory reply dispersed, and Chen Yichen and others returned to the camp again. Compared with the previous high momentum, the heavy pressure of real problems made the atmosphere a little solidified.

However, Lin Zhen and others understood Chen Yichen's compromise very well. Without the risk of one person being killed or injured, he recruited the Fujian rebel army with his personal ability, which was already a blessing.

How can all the major affairs of the country be as satisfactory?

The hero who supports the country should not be too harsh!

"To the north, what are your plans next?"

Lin Zhen broke this solemnity. Even Chen Yichen did it with his own strength, even the impossible thing about peaceful reunion. How difficult can he be to blame Song Zhang?

"First go to Xu Fengyuan to allocate supplies, then sit in the Three Guards of Fuzhou, maintain appropriate pressure on the rebel army camp, and finally go to Fuzhou City to deal with Song Zhang."

He has been lustful and lustful in the officialdom for many years. Chen Yichen is not the confused novice back then, but he has also grown a lot.

In just a short time, you will make plans for the next itinerary.
