Chapter 337 Unwilling to commit suicide Hong Chengchou
Hong Chengchou didn't know that Ye Chuchun had framed him in front of Ye Chengmin and secretly communicated with the court.
He is now actively thinking about how to make himself, such gentry exiled overseas, more capable of fighting against the imperial court.
Since Yang Sichang forcibly abducted him and was pulled onto the ship of a reactionary gentry, Hong Chengchou was destined to find his ambition to shine his ancestors and become famous all over the world like other civil officials who were still in the court.
So, he had to achieve this in a more difficult way.
There are two more difficult ways.
One is to sacrifice one's life by committing suicide or dying from hunger strike.
One way is to learn from Song Jiang, who is forced to go to Liangshan, to increase his capital first and then accept recruitment, which is equivalent to becoming stronger first and then preparing to be acquired by a large company in the future.
Hong Chengchou naturally did not choose the former.
If it were a true loyal and righteous man like Lu Xiangsheng, even if his ambition could not be realized, he would rather put his life into waste when he was in a desperate situation than to show his ambitions with his own talents to cause greater damage to society.
But Hong Chengchou is the one who would rather cause greater damage to society than realize his ambitions.
Therefore, Hong Chengchou chose the latter, and did not choose to commit suicide or go on a hunger strike from the beginning after being kidnapped to the sea by Yang Sichang, Tu Guobao, etc.
Hong Chengchou naturally knew that it was difficult to overthrow the court with his reactionary gentry, but he believed that he could make the reactionary gentry stronger, so strong that it would be difficult for the court to deal with people like him, and he could also cause trouble for the court.
In this way, Hong Chengchou could force the court to invite them, and he could become an official in the court again.
Therefore, Hong Chengchou is now actively giving advice to the reactionary gentry.
"Kill all those who come to surrender! In case of careful intrusion, since we want to accomplish things, we must be strict! In the future, we will only accept the recruitment of our own self-recruitment, and the recruitment should be irregular, so that the court will not be able to install people within us!"
To this end, Hong Chengchou directly asked the reactionary gentry to kill some sea refugees who came to surrender because they committed crimes in the mainland or were too poor.
"Okay! Then kill them all!"
The Tu Guobao, who was closer to Hong Chengchou, waved his hand.
The Fujian and Zhejiang seamen who came to surrender were shocked for a moment when they saw these soldiers of the Mujiao Army pulling out their swords and walking towards them.
"Give me your life! Master! We are here to surrender!"
"Yes! We all have to surrender to our hometown after the crime was not tolerated by the government, so we have to surrender. Now the government wants to exile us to Nagasaki. We don't want to go so far to surrender to you. Didn't you say you would give Yueyin one tael? Why do you still have to kill us!"
"It really doesn't work. You can let us go back! Woo woo!"
These sea people begged for this.
Hong Chengchou, who would only wag his tail and beg for mercy with the rulers with real power, naturally would not have any sympathy for these common people.
So, Hong Chengchou just continued to shout coldly: "Let you untouchables go back? I think so beautifully! What if anyone among you tells the government about our whereabouts! Kill them all!"
As soon as Hong Chengchou finished speaking, a series of clicks came.
All of these seamen were killed, exposed to the wilderness, and connected together.
Ye Chuchun, who was standing aside, was quite shocked. He couldn't help but look at Hong Chengchou, who was still calm and composed, and clenched his fists unconsciously.
Only Hong Chengchou and others were calm on their faces.
"That's right, we must have a different ranking within our country and the difference in official ranks. Orders must be enforced, because the three armies must not be without commanders! There must be a place where orders can be issued. In Hong's opinion, a Juyi Hall should be set up, and three or five capable people should be elected as generals, and the banner of "performing the way for heaven" is not the "Fengtian Jingnan"! Because we cannot let the officials in the court really think that we want to clean them, but we just want to seek justice! For Juyi Hall, Hong recommended himself as the Juyi Hall, and recommended Ye Chuchun Ye Gongzi and General Tu as generals. In the future, everyone should listen to the Juyi Hall order."
Hong Chengchou then talked to reactionary gentry such as Ye Chengmin, Ding Qirui, Ye Chuchun and other reactionary gentry about establishing the supreme command organization, and he also recommended Ye Chuchun and Tu Guobao as the chief executive.
The reason why Hong Chengchou elected Ye Chuchun was because after testing Ye Chuchun and Ding Qirui that day, he found that Ye Chuchun had the least suspicious intention of the East Factory. He saw that he was calm and calm, and he joined the reactionary gentry later, with low prestige, which was conducive to his own control and monopolizing power. The Tu Guobao was his old acquaintance and controlled military power, and he had always listened to him, so he recommended these two people.
Ye Chuchun was quite surprised by this.
But Ding Qirui and Ye Chengmin were naturally dissatisfied with this.
"There is no problem to set up a Juyi Hall and change the slogan. However, the position of the general manager has to discuss it again. No matter how hard it is, all colleagues must be present to promote it. How can one or two people decide it? This is probably difficult to convince the public!"
Therefore, Ding Qirui expressed his objection first.
Ye Chengmin also agreed and said, "That's right! The general leader can summon gentry from each island to gather together to promote it. How can he be arbitrary!"
Fighting for power and profits within has always been the expertise of civil servants.
At this time, these reactionary gentry refuted each other because of the seat of general position proposed by Hong Chengchou.
Hong Chengchou was quite anxious when he saw this: "Everyone, now is not the time for everyone to make plans. Time does not wait for anyone. No one knows when the court will know our hidden place, and then send a large army to suppress it. We have to quickly set the people with power before the court will suppress it! If conditions permit, Hong doesn't mind calling everyone to push it, but now everyone is floating on the isolated islands and wants to gather everyone. It will take two or three months to summon everyone, not to say half a year! What's more, what if the court takes this opportunity to catch us all in one go? Should we implement the strategy of Yang Gong, counterattack the mainland, and attack on all sides?! It's better to take advantage of the fact that several of the Dukes are in the same place now, and we can decide this matter as soon as possible. If they do not comply, we can attack it!"
"No! How different is this from that tyrant? Our gentry went to sea to train troops because they were dissatisfied with the tyranny of the court. How could we turn against each other because the other party did not obey their own orders?"
Ding Qirui continued to express his objection. He was not really unwilling to rebel against the reactionary gentry who were wandering on other islands, but that he was not in the general's general recommended by Hong Chengchou.
Ye Chengmin also expressed his objection, and the reason was naturally the same as Ding Qirui.
Hong Chengchou had no choice but to continue to argue.
For a moment, before these opposition gentry had begun to make a fuss about internal power struggles.
After a while, Ye Chuchun spoke, "It's better to do this. Mr. Ding and his brother Ziqin (Ye Chengmin) are the generals. In addition, the generals are the generals. Mr. Hong and I will not serve as the generals of Juyi Hall."
"this!"
Ding Qirui didn't expect Ye Chuchun to give up on his own initiative, and was quite shocked.
Hong Chengchou didn't expect that he could not even build a core power circle. These gentry seemed to only want to control others, not others.
Seeing Ye Chuchun's suggestion, he could only follow the overall situation and agree, saying: "This is OK!"
"With you all your attention, then Ding will be the general's position."
Ding Qirui obviously has a strong desire for power, so he bowed his hands and said first.
Ye Chengmin also smiled because of this.
Tu Guobao also said, "Okay, everyone will listen to the orders of the three of us in the future and ask Mr. Hong to make more ideas at that time."
Hong Chengchou smiled awkwardly.
At this point, the Juyi Hall trio, the leadership body of these reactionary gentry, began to be established.
Ding Qirui, Ye Chengmin and Tu Guobao became the leaders.
Hong Chengchou's original intention has been achieved, although he himself did not become the leader.
However, this incident also gave Ye Chuchun the opportunity to deal with Hong Chengchou.
"What do you mean is that Hong Chengchou is probably the eyes and ears of the court?"
Chapter completed!
