Chapter 32 Twenty-two brothers

The second update is here, are there any recommendation votes?

......

"Monk, Gao Da, Evil Tiger Brother, the two Wang brothers, Gu Ge'er, all of you here, the first glass of wine we have to pay homage to the four thousand Wu Ruijun brothers and Lu Youwu who died in battle yesterday."

At this moment, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and the cool breeze is gentle. In Yangzhou City, ten miles long streets, and on the Qionghua Tower, Chen Dexing was wearing a green narrow-sleeved official uniform, standing in the table, holding up his wine glass, and saying this to the twenty-one brothers who lived and died as promised.

Yes, there are twenty-one people, including Chen Dexing, a total of twenty-two people, only Lu Da'an was missing. After a day, Chen Dexing led more than a thousand Wu Rui army to fight back to the riverside, defeated more than a thousand cavalry of the Northern Territories, and killed more than 400 levels of the head of the Zhen Tatars. The generals who came out yesterday naturally moved and held back their strength to grab a great enough credit!

Although Zhao Song had been respecting civil and suppressing military affairs since its founding, and unswervingly pursued the national policy of co-governing the world with scholars and officials, suppressing a group of military officials. However, in the late Southern Song Dynasty, with the continuous wars of Mongolia and Song, the country's finances were on the verge of bankruptcy. The officials and civil officials of the Song Dynasty gradually lost their absolute control over military men. The key to using civilians to control military affairs was that the Song court could use enough money to feed a group of arrogant soldiers and soldiers so that they would not use the commander of the three armies as their parents for food and clothing. However, since Shaoding and Duanping, Huizi had been over-paid, Chu coins were depreciated, and the military pay for the Han people in the army was actually much worse than before. Naturally, the generals of the Song Dynasty were not as obedient as before.

Moreover, the Mongol Empire implemented a feudal system at this time. Although the Han people had a low status in the Mongol Empire, they were not as trusted as the Mongols and Semu people. However, the Marquis of the Mongols were actually a prince, with their own army, territory and people!

There were not many territories in the entire northern Han area, and most of them were under the jurisdiction of dozens of Han soldiers and tens of thousands of households. Among them, Li Yu, the minister of Yidu Province, occupied almost the entire Shandong Peninsula, with 70,000 or 80,000 troops, and his official positions, territory, and army could be passed to his descendants, just like a king of a country. When his father Li Quan led his people to the Song Dynasty, he was only given a seventh-rank Wuyi doctor. When he was in charge of the two prefectures of Shandong, he was promoted to Guangzhou Observation Envoy (the official position was the official).

In contrast, the status of the martial artists of the Song Dynasty was indeed a bit low. Now the wealth issued by the court is not as good as before. If the civil servants suppressed it too fiercely, leading the public to treason would not have happened!

The situation in Sichuan is now very bad because the court cleared Yu Jie's old subordinates and gangs in Sichuan. The leaders of Sichuan rebelled and surrendered, and almost demolished the defense line in northern Sichuan. It was not as obedient as Emperor Gaozong had killed Yue Fei and cleaned the Yue family army back then...

This is also the reason why Jia Sidao was troubled by how to allocate hundreds of beheadings and refused to come forward to suppress Chen Dexing. If it were the Northern Song Dynasty when the world was peaceful, would there be any warrior who dared to give a headache to the general of Jia Sidao's level, and it would not be certain to directly use military methods to kill him! Han Qi, a famous official of the Northern Song Dynasty, casually picked a charge and killed Jiao Yong, a brave general under Di Qing?

Chen Dexing's daring to blatantly pull the mountain is also based on the current situation. If he unfortunately traveled to the Northern Song Dynasty, where the Wenzhi was prosperous, he would dare to disobey Han Qi and a famous official like Wen Yanbo? Tomorrow, maybe he would be a military law engaging in the sword.

Everyone who attended the banquet today knew that Chen Dexing was running for their official positions and was preparing to go up to the two Huai generals in Yangzhou City, and all showed a look of gratitude. Although the Song Dynasty is a bit overcrowded, it is still difficult to get an official for a group of red soldiers without any background. Even if they make contributions on the battlefield and win the head of the Northern Barbarians, they will most likely be swallowed up by Shangguan. At most, they can get some increasingly depreciated Chu coins to have a good meal... This Huizi of the Song Dynasty is really less and less valuable! The two tables of banquets ordered in Qionghua Building today were actually more and more than 600 guan (Huizi). The income of a soldier and the Mongols in one day's battle with the Mongols was not enough to have a good meal in Yangzhou City. Such a situation reminded Chen Dexing of the late Republic of China 690 years later, when the country was also about to perish, there were some similarities!

But the difference is that today's Song Dynasty still has the most developed handicraft industry in the world, including Jiangnan, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangnan and other roads, and the most prosperous industrial and commercial cities in the world. Moreover, today's Song Dynasty also has the most advanced and most developed shipbuilding industry in the world! With this, Chen Dexing had the confidence to turn the tide and support the sky!

After sprinkling a cup of Qionghua dew in his hand on the ground, Chen Dexing looked around and wanted to turn the tide. Fu Tianqing could not be alone. The twenty-one people here had fought against the Tartars on the battlefield with him and yelled to the underworld together!

"Do you remember what you said yesterday at the Riverside?"

"Remember! I'm willing to go to the underworld with my faith!" The tall military man was the first to roar.

"I hope to go to the underworld with my faith!" The rest of the people also shouted.

Chen Dexing nodded and said, "You are willing to entrust your life with your own life. I will share wealth and honor with you! This time, I will not be able to fight for my life, and I will also seek an official position for you all!"

"We are willing to die for the faith!" This time, Gu Dali, a man who was born in the world, shouted. The official rank that Chen Dexing was preparing to fight for him was from the ninth-rank Chengxinlang, just like Chen Dexing's current official position. Although he was the smallest official, he had always dreamed of military men. How could he not be grateful?

"We are willing to die for faith!"

Twenty-one people shouted in unison again! Needless to say, they must have scared the guests in the restaurant. But this was exactly what Chen Dexing wanted... It was enough to get twenty-one out of the sea of ​​corpses and blood, and to kill the real Tartars' heads to death. Han Xiao died, which was enough to make the generals in Yangzhou City afraid.

Isn’t Lv Wende, the leader of the Anfeng general who is now in charge of the army and aiding Sichuan, gaining his current status because of a group of good brothers who cut wood and burn charcoal? Today’s Chen Dexing cannot guarantee that he is another Lv Wende!

By the way, Chen Dexing, Lv Wende, and Xia Gui seem to be fellow villagers, both from Anfeng Army on Huaixi Road...

Chen Dexing smiled slightly, rushed to the people sitting there forked and said, "You think of Chen and are willing to follow Chen to do something. It is Chen's trust. Chen did not dare to let you die, but he wanted to become brothers from different surnames with you, share hardships, share wealth and honor, do not seek common life, but seek common death!"

This is... I want to worship a man with the ancients! Chen Dexing, who came from later generations, knew the importance of cadres. Without good cadres, it would be difficult to accomplish anything, and without cadres, there would be no way to do things! And Chen Dexing also knew the principle of getting along with the people. In this era, sworn brothers and worshiping old men were very popular. Chen Dexing is now preparing to adopt this method to create his own small group.

"We are willing to become sworn in faith!"

"I believe it's our elder brother!"

"My life will be my elder brother in the future!"

Where would the following martial artists refuse to become sworn brothers with Chen Dexing? Who else can give their officials, their future, and their wealth besides Chen Dexing? Chen Dexing immediately struck while the iron was hot and asked the servants of Qionghua Tower to get the incense, candles, and roosters. On this Qionghua Tower, they drank blood wine with a group of red soldiers, worshiped them, and formed the so-called Qionghua Tower twenty-two brothers.
