After Yao Xishui met with Xinchang Hou Li Pu, he did not hide his whereabouts. In the afternoon, he rushed to the Feng family's secret village under Beicui Peak to see Zhang Ping. On the way, he happened to meet Feng Xuan and Shang Hu coming to see Han Qian.
Shang Hu didn't know who Yao Xishui was, but Yao Xishui hid in the dark last night and saw Shang Hu boarding the painting boat with Shang Xi, the fifth son of the Shang family, and knew that he was a slave of the Shang family.
After hearing that Feng Xuan said that Shang Hu rushed to Maoshan before noon to join the army, Yao Xishui's eyes looked suspiciously at the young man with a ferocious look in front of him.
Shang Hu was still in the city yesterday, but today he came to Maoshan alone to join the Chishan Army. Yao Xishui didn't know what happened to Shang Hu, so how could she not be suspicious?
Yao Xishui secretly wondered, could it be that after she left Lishui City yesterday, Shang Xi and Liu Zishu came up with some plan to make Shang Hu pretend to surrender to Maoshan, and then lead the Chishan Army into their trap?
Of course, when Shang Hu came to join the army, Feng Xuan immediately brought him to Beicui Peak Villa to see Han Qian, but Yao Xishui could understand the reason.
Before Emperor Tianyou came to Jinling to establish the great Chu empire, the Shang family and the Xiaoliu and Yuan surnames were the top noble families in the Shengzhou Jiedushi Mansion.
Although Emperor Tianyou intended to suppress the forces of these four surnames, except for the head of the family, Shang Wensheng, who served as a doctor in the court, no descendants of the Shang family held important official positions in the court, but the foundation of the Shang family in Jinling cannot be ignored.
Prince Yang Yuanwo succeeded to the throne and made his eldest son Yang Fen the crown prince. He intentionally invited Shang Wensheng to be the guest of the third rank of the crown prince to show that Anning Palace was wooing the influence of the old Jinling dynasty. However, Shang Wensheng was very cunning and fell ill and was recuperating in the house.
.
During the Jinling Incident, Shang Wensheng and his eldest son were in Jinling City at that time, and it was difficult to enter and exit at will after that. However, except for some of the Shang clan members who fled to Lishui City for refuge, most of them stayed in Shangjiabao.
The Shang family owned more than 2,000 hectares of fields and houses in Lishui, and more than 5,000 servants. The Shangjia Fort, located in the east Lushan Mountain on the south side of Maoshan Mountain, was the Shang family's stronghold. Although the scale was not as large as that of Lishui City, its defense was not as strong.
It will be under an ordinary walled city.
The Shang family had more than 300 elite soldiers. Under the command of Shang Wensheng's second son, Shang Zhongjie, they stayed in Donglu Mountain. They also selected strong soldiers from their slaves and maidservants, and there were almost thousands of soldiers.
To the south of Jinling, Shangjiabao may not be as easy to chew as Lishui City and Pingcheng Mausoleum, which are garrisoned by two to three thousand troops.
When a slave from the Shang family came to surrender, Feng Xuan immediately brought him over to see Han Qian. Yao Xishui thought that Han Qian was probably interested in Shangjiabao, right?
Zhang Ping was talking to Han Qian in the courtyard of Beichuifeng Manor. When he saw Yao Xishui walking in, he was slightly stunned for a while before his expression returned to normal.
"The journey from Yueyang to Jinling is dangerous and arduous. Even a strong man can't bear it. Miss Yao really misses me?" Han Qian stared at Yao Xishui's face, whose skin looked dull and yellow after applying the medicine.
.
He was not surprised by Yao Xishui's appearance. He thought that when Zhang Ping came to Xuzhou to deliver the order, Yao Xishui and Chun Shisanniang traveled thousands of miles to accompany them. How come they were missing this time?
Of course, Yao Xishui did not go with Zhang Ping, Lin Haizheng and others. Han Qian guessed that in addition to Yao Xishui's alone contact with the people lurking in Jinling in the late Honglou, Zhang Ping's political tendency was contrary to Lu Qingxia, Princess Wang Chan'er and others.
, they probably don’t have their trust anymore, right?
"My foster father and others have just left, but the concubine is really concerned about the development of the situation in Jinling, and she specially ordered me to rush over and take a look. Master Han doesn't have to worry about what qualifications Xishui has to make decisions," Yao Xishui responded coldly to Han Qian's teasing,
Then he said to Zhang Ping, "I just went to Xiaomaofeng to see Mr. Hou. What Mr. Hou means is that Master Han is determined to recruit slaves into the army. He can't persuade him, but if there is anything that requires their cooperation, they can't do it."
I will do it - I have to get through the difficulties in front of me first."
Zhang Ping glanced at Yao Xishui doubtfully and thought to himself, but as long as Li Pu doesn't walk away, it can't be considered a bad thing.
Even though Yao Xishui said that she came on behalf of the concubine, Han Qian left her in the meeting hall and asked Feng Xuan to bring in Shang Hu, a slave of the Shang family who had come to join the army at noon, for questioning.
"Shang Hu has been a slave in the Shang family for four generations. He usually serves Shang Wensheng's nephew Shang Xi. The notice was only reported to Lishui City last night. Shang Hu and another slave of the Shang family saw the notice next to Shang Xi.
The discussion about surrendering to the army was probably overheard by Shang Xi. After leaving the city at night, Shang Xi took advantage of their unpreparedness and drew his sword to kill them. Another slave of the Shang family was unfortunately killed. Shang Hu fled into the fields in a hurry and survived. He was lucky enough to survive early in the morning.
Walking back to Shangjiabao, he wanted to find Shang Wensheng's second son Shang Zhongjie to seek justice, but his father was caught and tortured at night. He was beaten to death and hung on the fort. His mother and siblings were still being tortured at this moment.
The Shang family was imprisoned in a water prison to warn slaves who had dissident intentions." Feng Xuan briefly told Shang Hu what he had experienced last night and the reason why he came to join the army alone.
"Weird aspirations?" Han Qian snorted coldly, patted the table and said, "These slaves just want to join the army to redeem their lives, hoping that future generations will no longer have to be slaves for generations. In the eyes of these noble disciples, they have different aspirations.
Is this a violation of the law of heaven, and you don’t hesitate to be tortured or beaten to death?”
Lin Haizheng, Zhao Wuji and others present here all came from humble backgrounds. It may be true that they sympathized with Shang Hu's experience, but Yao Xishui was disdainful in his heart, thinking that Han Qian had not been harsh in his treatment of his slaves in the past? He secretly felt that Han Qian had treated the slaves under him.
Qian now needs to seduce his slave to surrender, so he is acting so coquettishly, right?
Of course, Yao Xishui did not believe that what happened to Shang Hu was true, and even more suspected that it was a story compiled by Shang Xi, Liu Zishu and others. After all, it was too much of a coincidence that Shang Hu and she had gone to Maoshan, but she was
He won't expose it, but secretly observe his words and deeds.
When Shang Hu thought about what he had experienced during this day and night, he felt panic and hatred in his heart, but more importantly, he was confused and confused. His face was slightly distorted, and the veins in the arms where he clenched his fists were exposed.
Han Qian saw the confusion and hatred in the eyes of the young man in front of him, and asked: "Are you full of confusion? You have served them as slaves for so long, and you only have your own ideas. Why did you suffer such a vicious attack?
"
"..." Shang Hu raised his head in confusion and looked at Han Qian, who was a few years older than him. At the same time, he felt cautious because of the difference in status between the two of them. He was speechless and didn't know what to say.
"The noble family, I hope you can be slaves for generations, so that their descendants can cling to you and suck blood continuously, no matter how incompetent or lazy they are, and enjoy the glory and wealth without having to do anything. I hope their descendants can
Sun Neng has exploited you and your descendants for generations. Therefore, they will not tolerate the thought of "the princes and generals are in peace" in your hearts - this will cost them their lives, so once you have such thoughts
, they will become panicked, and will try every possible means, even using the most cruel and brutal means, to extinguish all the unkind thoughts in your hearts." Han Qian pressed his hand on the table, leaned forward, and looked in his eyes.
He looked at Shang Hu closely and said, "But should you just accept your fate?"
Han Qian's words not only made Shang Hu's eyes shine with blazing light, but also caused Lin Haizheng, Feng Xuan, and Zhang Ping sitting nearby to feel shaken in their hearts and souls.
Yao Xishui was secretly shocked and looked at Han Qian in confusion. She didn't know what he wanted to do. Did he want to instill this kind of thinking in every slave who came to join the army? Aren't he afraid that one day he would get burned?
Han Qian asked Shang Hu about the situation in Shangjiabao for a while, and then asked someone to send him to the camp at Damao Peak that specialized in recruiting slaves into the army.
"What Shang Hu said may not be credible." Although Yao Xishui was happy to see Han Qian stumble and give him a severe blow to his arrogance, at this time they were in Maoshan and tied to Han Qian with a rope.
The grasshopper on the bed reminded him.
"Whether it is trustworthy or not, Mr. Yuan and Guo Nuer will be able to tell the difference!" Han Qian said.
When Han Qian was observing mourning in Longya Mountain, he did not read many books non-stop. Instead, he thought deeply about the practical significance that the dream world brought to him and what his father had always been determined to do in his life.
How can political ambitions and the "people's social thoughts" that are the most important in his father's political ambitions be realized?
In fact, after Han Qian was no longer in such an embarrassing situation and no longer looked like a trapped animal trapped in a cage, desperately trying to escape, he was inevitably more affected by the dream world, and his state of mind also changed for the first time.
Transforming every time.
In fact, this also helped him understand some things in the dream world on a deeper level, thereby implementing his practice of commanding troops.
In the contemporary army, in addition to the battalion commander, there is only one auxiliary position, the sentry, to handle reconnaissance and scouting at the battalion level. However, Han Qian also set up additional auxiliary positions such as military officer and military counselor at the battalion level in order to strengthen the military affairs at the battalion level.
Form a complete command and governance system.
There are also some practical requirements for doing this, that is, the recruitment of slaves into the army. In the future, they will need to move in battalion units to the coastal areas of Taihu Lake in the east and to the depths of the Fuyu Mountains and Yishan (Huangshan) Mountains in the south.
Therefore, whether there is anything suspicious about Shang Hu, it is up to the battalion-level commander, military officer, military counselor and others to screen it. Not only will he not ask, but Lin Haizheng cannot pay too much attention to it.
However, Han Qian's understatement seemed to Yao Xishui to be a bit of indifferent contempt. She thought that she had fulfilled her obligation to inform, and asked Han Qian with a different tone: "You specially summoned such an insignificant person, could it be that you have summoned him here?"
Want to conquer Shangjia Fort? As the largest wealthy family in Lishui, the Shang family was one of the four clans in Jinling in the early stage. If they conquer Shangjia Fort, they should have tens of thousands of stones of rice and food, and there may be more. They can also directly
Collect the slaves from Shangjiabao."
Han Qian asked Yao Xishui to listen to his questioning of Shang Hu, but he would not tell her the real plan in his heart.
At this time, in addition to the 3,000 remnant soldiers, there are only more than 2,000 slaves who have rushed over with their families and surrendered to the army in the past three days. None of them can spare four or five hundred strong men. He is not qualified to attack Shangjiabao now.
Even though Yao Xishui seemed to be encouraging them, Han Qian was indifferent and followed Zhao Wuji, Dou Rong, Feng Xuan, Zhang Ping, Yuan Guowei, Lin Haizheng and others who arrived later to discuss the next division of troops from Maoshan to the west.
Specific plans for towns and villages to raise grain and grass and recruit slaves into the army.
