Chapter 68: Three Days (Part 2)

"The entire army of the king was wiped out, Wang Jingluo died and died of his country, Wang Deputy Xian was sick in bed and could not be in charge of the officials. Jingluo's will grant him the general the full authority to control the power of the King of Dalanshan. He decided to lead the people to surrender to the Qing Dynasty to protect the lives of the people here. After the Qing army retreated, he would do it again, to save the country in a curve. Do you have anything to say? I will listen carefully."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was uproared.

At this moment, the gate of the Central Military Hall had been closed by Hu Er and Zhang Jun. There were soldiers from Nantang Camp standing on both sides of Chen Wen and on the inside of the gate. A group of civil servants faced Chen Wen, who threatened to surrender to the Qing Dynasty in the lobby of the Central Military Hall. They were silent for a moment and immediately became furious.

Chen Wen sat on Wang Yi's usual seat, siping the tea he had just brewed in small mouthfuls, and sweeping everyone's reactions through the rising fog. At first glance, there were people who condemned loudly, some muttered softly, some people who looked complicated, and some people who sneaked into the gate from time to time.

After scanning, Chen Wen put the teacup on the table and tapped the table, as if signing a quiet meaning.

"Are you guys considering it?"

At this moment, Sun Yu shouted sternly: "Chen Wen, thanks to the fact that the General and Deputy Xian trust you so much. I didn't expect you to be such a kind of ambition. Today, I will fight with you!"

As he said that, Sun Yu was about to rush up, but was immediately pulled by several civil servants around him. The people looked at Chen Wen with resentment, but probably feared the soldiers in the room who were already in their hands, so they had to hold Sun Yu, who had already lost his mind, to prevent Chen Wen from giving him a reason to kill him.

Chen Wen knew that Sun Yu was not such an impulsive person, but all honest officials were almost extremely confident people. They regarded integrity as an unshakable belief, so they could stick to this ethics in the dirty officialdom. Chen Wen threatened to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, and the most exciting one was Sun Yu, because Chen Wen was left with all his strength. The current situation also caused his confidence to begin to shake, so he was so disobedient.

Has no one stood up to agree?

Suddenly, Chen Wen suddenly realized a problem. The great magicians who released the forbidden spells in Western fantasy novels seemed to have some physical movements while chanting the spells.

Thinking of this, Chen Wen immediately stood up, walked around the table, and walked to Sun Yu. The civil servants around Sun Yu who were still pulling him were already a little scared. They not only grabbed Sun Yu, but also began to retreat.

At this moment, Chen Wen looked at Sun Yu with contempt, then kicked him in the chest and directly knocked him to the ground. Even the civil servants followed suit, but only Sun Yu was still scolding him.

"Tie Sun Yu and these ignorant people, and tie them up!"

Hearing this, the soldiers guarding the door came and tried to drag the people who had been named by Chen Wen. Facing the soldiers who were like wolves and tigers, the civil servants looked at Chen Wen with a hint of hesitation or begging. However, Sun Yu stopped cursing and stood up, sorted out his official uniform and walked out with his head held high. He looked at Chen Wen with great resentment and disappointment.

"A gentleman will inevitably die! Don't let this dog thief laugh at me. Even if I, Sun Yu, die, I will still see Chen Wen, in the sky, how will you end up like a dog thief?!"

Hearing this, the civil servants no longer prepared to beg for mercy and followed Sun Yu and walked out. Instead, Chen Wen's soldiers seemed to be following the squad.

After several people who were obviously interested in opposing the situation were pulled away, Chen Wen looked around and there were still more than half of the remaining civil servants. Eighty-most of these people saw that even Sun Yu, whom he was usually friends, was dragged out to beheaded by Chen Wen. At this moment, they could only timidly dodge Chen Wen's sight.

Seeing that there were still too many people, Chen Wen was very coercive and tempted, but no one stood up and took the lead to highlighting the Qing Dynasty. Seeing this, he didn't intend to continue to delay, so he took these people out of the door.

At this moment, Sun Yu and others' official hats had already been taken off, and even the people were tied up. Behind each of them was a soldier from Nantang Camp who held a sword and played the role of the sword and axe player.

Everyone followed Chen Wen and walked out, but they saw that their usual colleagues were obviously going to be used to kill the chicken to warn the monkey. Even the civil servants who were not in harmony with Sun Yu on weekdays were quite sad.

How did Dalan Mountain become like this?!

But the situation is stronger than that of others. At this time, Wang Yi was dead. Wang Jiang was obviously imprisoned by this general. He held heavy troops and his life and death were all in the hands of others. How could he dare to be like Sun Yu and the others?

After everyone stood still, Chen Wen once again came up with the theory of saving the country in a curve, and broke the broken explanation. Seeing that no one was still echoing, he immediately read out the order.

"In the battle of Siming Lake, the Wang army was defeated and the entire army was wiped out. Jing Luyi did not humiliate himself and sacrificed his life for his country. Deputy Xian was too sad when he heard the news, and now he fell ill in bed and could not be in charge of the director. Jing Lu left his will and was fully responsible for the military affairs of Dalanshan..."

Just as everyone was waiting for Chen Wen to tell the story of surrendering to the Qing Dynasty, Chen Wen turned to Sun Yu.

"Pooh!"

He spitted on Chen Wen's face, but he just smiled and shook his head, wiped it casually, and untied the rope that tied Sun Yu in front of everyone's eyes. Then, he untied the rope that tied up others in the eyes of all civil servants, either stunned or gladly.

"When the army was defeated, the General left a will, and ordered me to cover the retreat of the people of Siming Mountain to prevent being slaughtered by the Tartars. However, at this time the Tartars were powerful and unpredictable, so I could only judge the gentleman with the heart of a villain. At this time, the Deputy Xian was already ill in bed. I hope you can ignore past grudges and help me lead the people to evacuate this place, so as to fulfill the last wish of the General." After that, Chen Wen bowed to the group of civil officials who were quite upright.

Perhaps things have changed too quickly, and most civil servants who received Chen Wenyili only gave back the gifts with stress, obviously they have not yet reacted from this 360-degree turn.

"Everyone has the intention to seek profit and avoid harm, which is because of nature. I will be deceived and deceived in the name of saving the country in a curve. The kings are still unmoved. Obviously, they are all people who do not want to surrender to the captives..."

During the War of Resistance Against Japan, Wang Jingwei and others used the name of saving the country in a curve, and sold their country for glory, and actually recruited a group of unsatisfied people in the *** regime, cowards who were afraid of the Japanese army's military, or dog traitors who were willing to rely on the enemy to sell their country and get promoted and make money. If you think about it carefully, this argument is actually just a fig leaf for those people, just like when Wang puppet officials were popular in Japanese brothels, wasn't it also claimed to avenge those Chinese women ravaged by the Japanese army?

Chen Wen came up with this argument just to pick out the instability inside Dalan Mountain. However, even though he repeatedly threatened and tempted, the civil servants of Dalan Mountain were afraid of his usual style and the force of his rule, but they were still unwilling to speak up. Even corrupt officials like Chu Suxian were no exception, and the generosity of Sun Yu and others to die really made him excited.

"I also hope that you don't ruin state affairs for personal grievances. I will thank you here." After that, Chen Wen gave a tribute to other civil officials who were not as fierce as Sun Yu and others, but could barely be regarded as being able to stick to the bottom line.

At this moment, even among the civil servants on the spot, even though they were slow to react, they understood Chen Wen's intention. To put it nicely, they were trying to test people's hearts, but not nicely, they were preparing to kill people to establish their authority. Almost everyone was glad that they chose, but some of the people who came out later seemed quite ashamed or regretful.

"The lower-ranking officials are greedy and afraid of death. They should not be allowed to give this gift from the general. They must do their best to help the general fulfill his last wish in order to cleanse up the shame of hesitation today."

A young civil servant immediately knelt down on the ground in shame and bowed a few times to Chen Wen, Sun Yu and others. Everyone behind him hurriedly bowed and said they were guilty when they saw this.

Chen Wen did not intend to make things difficult for them. The Qing army was imminent in encirclement and suppression of Dalan Mountain, but he had less than 600 soldiers to drive him. But what he had to face was the task of evacuating the people in the entire 800-mile Siming Mountain area.

Even if he could only urge him to escape consciously in the form of notices, the people of the military families near Dalan Mountain must have personally covered the retreat. For such a arduous task, he would definitely need the full cooperation of other officials of the Ming army in Dalan Mountain, so he would act like this.

Although the plan to establish authority for murder has not been completed, the remedial measures are still appropriate. Those who were incompatible with the past will definitely cooperate with him to complete Wang Yi's last order, and others will also help him complete the task more carefully because of shame, so as to make a comment that he will be brave.

As for whether these people would hate him, Chen Wen couldn't care. Although he was not clear about Wang Jiang's evaluation of his "working for the country and being careless", he could still ask himself that "there is no time to make a self-employed person for the country". Because unlike this era's concept that the emperor is a country, Chen Wen's education in modern times told him that the identity of the nation and civilization is the country!

"Before the deputy constitution is recovered, I will carry out the power of the management. The officials of the Five Divisions of Dalanshan obey the orders and immediately load all the copywriting, inventory, tools and other items they need to carry. The rest of the uncarried ones must be listed in detail. I will send people to burn them after our troops set out, and the enemy will never be allowed to be invested."

"Master Chu, you must go to the residential area to strictly order the family members of officials to set off. Tell them that the general said that those who do not set out within two hours will be beheaded and displayed for public action as treason for the Qing Dynasty!"

"Sir, obey the order!"

"Master Sun, organizes the reserves of various departments of the Treasury Department, loads and transports the camping site: the military camp in the south of Dalan Town."

"Sir, obey the order!"

“…”

"Each department must set out before lunch, and have lunch in the town at the foot of the mountain, and there must be no mistakes!"

"Secretary and others should follow the general's orders!"

After receiving the order, these civil servants seemed to have found their backbone again after Wang Yi's death. After saluting, they all returned to their respective departments to collect their belongings according to the order. Fortunately, under Chen Wen's suggestion that "if you win, you will take your belongings and fight out of Siming Mountain, and if you lose, you will not leave any financial enemies", Wang Jiangyan ordered the Construction Department to make many cattle, horse, donkey, mule and even wheelbarrows. This behavior, which was once regarded by officials, minor officials, craftsmen, and civilians in the Five Divisions of Dalanshan, as a simple increase in labor, also confirmed its foresight.

In addition, although it was only less than two hours to go down the mountain, many things were loaded after Chen Wen discovered that the Shaoxing Green Camp was missing the night before yesterday. At this time, he only needed to load the rest and count the details. Even if the time was not enough, it should be enough.

"Master Sun, please stay."

Looking at Sun Yu's face full of coldness, Chen Wen had to sigh. "It's not that I believe in Brother Sun's character. It's just that the situation is urgent, and the second is that Brother Sun is straightforward in daily life, not a person who is good at making false things. I really have to deceive Brother Sun and hope to forgive me."

You are a young man, you are still from Jinhua. No one wants to play a passerby in Hengdian. How dare I hand over the script of the second male lead in this big show? Only the true acting is more suitable for you.

Obviously, Sun Yu still couldn't forgive Chen Wen for the time being, and the cold air on the Binger's face still did not mean to dissipate. "Just Chen just needs to do his own thing well, there is no need to apologize for it." After that, the young Ming Dynasty man with paralysis turned around and left without being moved by Chen Wen's apology at all.

It will be seen over time.

Chen Wen sighed and began to arrange military affairs. Gu Shouli and Qi Xiufeng's mission were like other civil servants, instructing the servants to carry military supplies and load them into vehicles, counting the materials and facilities that could not be taken away, and finally, after the other departments had completed it, they had to conduct a review of the materials that could not be carried. Apart from Sun Yu, after all, Chen Wen still trusted the chief clerk and military officer in his battalion more than the remaining civil servants.

Then Yin Yue sent some soldiers to escort the military families who had already lived in the old camp, whether from Nantang Camp or the family members of the old camp officials, to escort them to the military camp south of Dalan Town first. In addition, they had to supervise the transportation of various departments and divide their troops to escort them.

Finally, and the first to set out was Li Ruixin. He had two tasks. The first was to send a powerful whistle cavalry to intercept the Qing army's probing horses, and the second was to confirm whether the road to Xinchang, which was investigated in the secret mission assigned to him by Chen Wen, was safe.

In addition, Chen Wen also wrote to the Ming army of Simingshan in the name of fully acting on Dalanshan's military affairs, asking them to lead the people to evacuate. Of course, he ordered Mao Mingshan and Wu Kuiming to command the Ming army to evacuate on the southern front, and informed Feng Jingdi and Wang Sheng of the rebellion, and signaled that he would hide his suggestion to change places and would be brought by those messengers who obeyed Chu Jiuru.

After ending these orders, Chen Wen went down the mountain. Compared to the town at the foot of Laoying Mountain in Dalan Mountain and the village near it, the biggest difficulty of this task.

After leaving the central army hall, Chu Suxian was busy following Chen Wen's instructions to instruct the minor officials and servants to register all the things that needed to carry in the bank warehouse and load them on the truck. Since the cloth warehouse was also under the bank warehouse, he also needed to supervise and execute these things, so he was extremely busy.

Of course, he was just a little easier than the officials of the arsenal. Who asked Wang Yi to take out the arsenal of Dalanshan for this war? There was very little left at this moment. Even the armor of ordinary soldiers under Chen Wen's troops was taken away, which made the arsenal even less accessible.

Supervising the minor official and servant transporting supplies, Chu Suxian was still sweating coldly about what had just happened. When he heard the news of the Ming army's crushing defeat, Chu Suxian was shocked. This time, Wang Yi took away a lot of silver and cloth as a reward. According to him, he should not lose such a generous reward. But the news he received was like this, especially Wang Sheng's turn against him, which was beyond his expectations. When he and Wang Sheng conspired to plot against Chen Wen, Wang Sheng only expressed that he would not let Chen Wen make contributions to avenge the revenge of that arrow. Who would have thought that there would be many plans later?

After that, Chen Wen threatened to surrender to the Qing Dynasty. Although Chu Suxian did not know that it was Chen Wen's trick, he was still shocked. Without mentioning Chen Wen's usual behavior, his relationship with Sun Yu has always been regarded as a kind of good thing by Chu Suxian. After Sun Yu was kicked to the ground, he was taken out to behead, which made him quite believe in Chen Wen's performance.

After all, this is a chaotic world and people's hearts are unpredictable. Who knows what anyone is thinking? Perhaps it is normal for those who are righteous before, but have ulterior motives behind their backs.

However, Chu Suxian knew his relationship with Chen Wen very well, so how dare he be the first bird, so he had to hide in the crowd and watch Chen Wen's hard performance in fear. The plot reversal afterwards scared him. He was just surprised, but he was also very glad that he did not make the first bird. With his relationship with Chen Wen, he must be the first one to beheaded, and he would not think of the second person.

The materials in the bank warehouse have been packed, and it is only possible to load the truck to get off. After Chu Su finished a stage of work, his heart was filled with fear again.

Not to mention his relationship with Chen Wen, since Wang Sheng could conceal the most critical part of the conspiracy with Wang Sheng, who knows whether anyone else will know about this matter, so that Chu Su first looked at everyone around him and felt that it might be the one who was ordered to arrest him, even if not, it might be the whistleblower.

In addition, when Wang Jiang was sick, Chen Wen was responsible for his entire journey. God knew whether this person would frame him and Chu Suxian for death. Such thoughts kept torturing him, making him feel a little nervous all day long.

It is impossible for a person to always live in fear, either to smash the source of fear in one fell swoop, or to escape, or to force himself to believe that the person who caused it all is for his own good, and even without these fears, he cannot survive, which is Stockholm syndrome.

Chu Suxian's actions were not trapped in a situation that could not be left, nor could he shatter the source of fear, so he naturally chose the remaining options.

At lunch, Chen Wen was mobilizing the residents of the town and the Ming army in Dalanshan and his subordinates to evacuate together, when he suddenly received a message.
