East Factory Governor

Chapter 107 Rearing the Arms for War
In the afternoon of that day, two senior experts sent by Chongzhen came to Qin Shuhuai's room.

These two are brothers, the older brother is called Meng Wei, and the younger is called Meng Hu. Judging by the pace of their breathing, they should both be masters in Xiao Chengjing.

Both of them have a pair of sword eyebrows, under which are a pair of sharp eyes like a falcon, their faces are thin and sharp as if carved by a knife, and their cheekbones protrude high, making them look extremely powerful.

I believe that there are not many such masters in the entire palace, it seems that Chongzhen has invested a lot of money this time.

The two of them didn't talk much, except that they respectfully greeted Qin Shuhuai, they just stayed aside and didn't speak.

Qin Shuhuai didn't expect to get close to them, so he saved the politeness and took the two of them out of Liushi Academy and headed straight for Jianghe Gang.

When passing by the Tongzhou Thousand Households Office, Pi Gou, Lai San'er, Zhang Xiao, and Chen Jing were picked up by the way.Now that Dongchang is on the cusp, I believe they have already felt Chongzhen's dissatisfaction, so they will definitely not act rashly in the future.

After returning to the Jianghe Gang, Qin Shuhuai went to see Li Daliang again.Li Daliang pretended that nothing happened, and congratulated Qin Shuhuai on his promotion to the position of leader with a smile.Qin Shuhuai also pretended that nothing happened, and exchanged pleasantries with him for a while.

Among the Jianghe Gang, Qiu Dali was the happiest to see Qin Shuhuai back.He was once imprisoned by Qi Jin sent people, now that Qin Shuhuai came back, he was naturally released.

Hearing suddenly that his apprentice had been promoted to be the leader, Qiu Dali was dumbfounded for a long time, and after confirming that it was true, he was speechless for a long time, but his eyes were already scarlet.This is like an old farmer discovering a good seed, watering it carefully every day, and later discovering that the seed has grown into a sky-high force, the surprise, joy, and excitement cannot be added.

After Qin Shuhuai was officially promoted to be the gang leader, he immediately tightened his control over the Jianghe Gang.

Among the main rudders, Pi Gou is in charge of Qinglong Hall, Lai San'er is in charge of Baihu Hall, Qiu Dali is in charge of Law Enforcement Hall and concurrently serves as the Right Protector, and even Chen Jing is in charge of Xuanwu Hall at only 14 years old.As for Zhuquetang, it is still run by the old Taoist who has always supported Qin Shuhuai.

At this time, a generation of hero Huang Taiji is leading the army to assemble in Chahar Mongolia. It is less than a month before entering the pass.

Qin Shuhuai began to prepare for the war with all his strength.Now the Jianghe gang has six halls with a total of more than [-] people. This is his most important bargaining chip.As for the gang members of the sub-rudders in various places, he will not consider bringing them in for the time being. After all, the sub-rudders in various places also need people to guard them.

Qin Shuhuai was promoted from an ordinary gang member to a gang leader in just a few months, this kind of shock was unprecedented.

His achievements are obvious to all, and through the constant bragging of the Qinglongtang gang, turning miracles into "miracles", he has already become the "God of War" in the eyes of the Jianghe gang.It can be said that no one would dissatisfy him as the leader of the gang, and the Jianghe gang's worship of him was even fanatical.

But that's not enough.

People in the arena have a stubborn habit, that is, they think it is shameful to serve the court and be the eagle dog of the court, so it is difficult to guarantee how enthusiastic they are if they are pulled up to fight with the Houjin army.

The rivers and lakes are rivers and lakes, the imperial court is the imperial court, and the downfall of the imperial court does not matter at all to people in the rivers and lakes.

But everything is not absolute.Since it doesn't work to make them work for the court, let them work for the common people.Now the mainstream values ​​in the martial arts are still quite upright. Being chivalrous, fighting the strong and helping the weak, and helping the world are the beliefs of many warriors, just like people on the earth believe in freedom and equality—although not everyone really believes in it. I am doing this, but at least this creed is recognized by most people.

This is very important.

Qin Shuhuai comes from the earth where the information is exploding, so he naturally knows how important a positive public opinion environment is.To mobilize the enthusiasm of the people, we still have to build momentum from the public opinion environment.

In the next few days, Qin Shuhuai found a group of people who had fled from Liaodong, and asked them to speak out how Hou Jin ravaged and slaughtered their family members.At that time, the Hou Jin had not yet adopted a soft policy towards the Han people. It was indeed cruel, and massacring the Han people was a common thing, so when these people talked about it, all of them were extremely sad.In order to increase the incitement, Qin Shuhuai also recruited some actors from other places, mixing the real and the fake among them, making the atmosphere even more miserable.

After that, he found some Liaodong veterans who had been beaten and retired and returned home, and asked them to tell what they had seen and heard in Liaodong, mainly the atrocities committed by Hou Jin.

There are three complaint conferences like this one a day, and every hall must be compulsorily attended.

The effect is surprisingly good.

In Qin Shuhuai's previous era, perhaps the effect of such an accusation conference might not be very good. This is because at that time there were TV, movies, and the Internet, and these things were constantly stirring up people's emotions. Immunity, no matter how sensational things are, I don’t feel it anymore.

But in this day and age, there are no such things at all, especially for a group of people from the rivers and lakes, few people have even watched serious dramas.All of them are hot-blooded men, this is the first time they encountered such a provocative scene, coupled with Qin Shuhuai's ulterior motives, many men even cried on the spot!
At the end of each accusation meeting, Lai San'er would be the first to shout, "Brothers, what if the bandits come to our Central Plains?"

Countless people roared, "Beat the barbarians, save the people! Beat the barbarians, save the people!"

Only Qin Shuhuai was in the background, showing a smug smile.

In addition to "brainwashing", Qin Shuhuai originally planned to practice a set of formations for the gang, such as Qi Jiguang's mandarin duck formation, but considering that the time is too short, if it is not practiced well, it will have the opposite effect, and the mandarin duck formation is for Those who deal with Japanese pirates don't know if there is any Houjin after dealing with them, so they have to give up.

On the third day of October in the second year of Chongzhen, he gave Chongzhen an encrypted memorial, stating in detail the possibility of Houjin entering the customs and the possible offensive road map.

Unsurprisingly, nothing happened.

And just a few days ago, Yuan Chonghuan also shared a similar memorial with him. Although he did not have his details, he also mentioned that Hou Jin might cross the Great Wall and enter the Central Plains.

Also no news.

The haze of war has shrouded the Ming Dynasty, Houjin's covetousness has turned into a horseshoe, but the highest authority of the Ming Dynasty still seems to be unaware, and the officials are still immersed in the drunkenness of the party struggle.

On the fifth day of October, Wen Tiren, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, impeached Zhou Yanru, Minister of the Ministry of Rites and a scholar of Dongge University, for collecting money in the examination and helping others to cheat.

On the sixth day of October, Zhou Yanru and many Donglin party members impeached Wen Tiren for marrying prostitutes, taking bribes, and seizing people's property and many other illegal matters.

On the eighth day of October, Donglin party members impeached Shaanxi's political participation Hong Chengchou plundered when he wiped out the peasant army Wang Zuogui...

Qin Shuhuai, who was fighting hard, was the only one in the entire Ming Dynasty who was ready to fight.
