Chapter 15
A few days later, Qian Buer came to report: "Qi to the military division, the brothers who went to Nanjing before have all returned one after another, and brought news of the second young master."

Xia Wanchun: "Has Brother Mo already surrendered?"

Qian Buer replied: "The second young master has shaved his hair and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and worshiped under the old thief Hong. In addition, the second young master also published an article "On Huaxia", and donated all the 500 million taels of silver he earned from playing chess to the Qing court !"

Even though Xia Wanchun had already guessed Qian Mo's intentions in advance, it was extremely shocking at this time.

On that day, Qian Mo told him not to follow the example of "Jing Ke's assassination of Qin", he had already guessed that Qian Mo wanted to follow Su Qin's strategy of killing King Min of Qi and carrying out the strategy of the weak swallow destroying the strong Qi!

(During the Warring States period, Yan State was in great chaos and was almost destroyed by Qi State. In order to repay King Yan Zhao’s kindness, Su Qin did not hesitate to enter Qi to separate Qin and Qi relations, and even encouraged the greedy King Qi Min to send troops to annex Qin while leading the five countries. In the end, Qi State provoked public outrage. Le Yi led the five-nation coalition led by Yanzhao to conquer more than 5 cities in Qi State in March. Qi State almost perished. Qi feat.)
It is extremely dangerous to break into the interior of the Qing court, but he never thought that Qian Mo would be so decisive.It recognized the thief as a teacher again, and threw out the "Huaxia Lun" to whitewash the traitors, and also took out 500W taels of silver.

Xia Wanchun thought to himself: It's just that, Brother Mo is afraid that he will bear the infamy of "the world's number one traitor"!
"My Huaxia's inheritance does not lie in the appearance of the clothes, but in the spirit of the law."

"Lord Hong Chengchou, for the sake of the people of the world to live and work in peace and contentment, he devotes himself to the utmost care, sacrifices his life and forgets death, regardless of personal details, and promotes the integration of the nation, which is the great righteousness of the whole world."

Brother Mo really punishes every word, I am afraid that not only the traitors can be cleansed, even those who were originally wavering between the Ming and Qing Dynasties have reason to surrender with peace of mind.

At this moment, he felt that Qian Mo was both familiar and unfamiliar, "Is this still the elder brother Mo whom I have known since childhood?"

"Such a layout, such a scheming, such an eloquence, such an article? Either a person of great loyalty and filial piety, or a person of great treachery and evil."

Suddenly I remembered Qian Mo's instructions: If one day Xiao Yin hears rumors about being a brother, or starts to suspect that he is a brother, then she can open the first kit.

When I opened the kit, I saw only one poem, which was "Fair Words" by Bai Juyi:
Don’t be suspicious, don’t need to drill tortoises and Zhu Xing.

The test jade must be burned for three days, and the material identification must wait for seven years.

Zhou Gong was afraid of rumors, and Wang Mang remained courteous.

Xiang Shi died in the first place, but who knows the true or false of his life?

Xia Wanchun thought to himself: Yes, if Zhou Gong died before returning to power and Wang Mang died before usurping Han, then the evaluation of these two people in history may be completely opposite.Only enough time to tell the truth!

Thinking of the promise he had made with Brother Mo back then, Xia Wanchun was so ashamed that he couldn't bear it.Brother Mo is really a unparalleled national scholar, even worse than Su Qin, how can I doubt Brother Mo.

There is another passage under the poem, Xiaoyin Junjian:
"Brother has already ordered someone to place 1 taels of silver and divide it into 100 bets. The amount of silver will be worth 10 taels. Qian Buer will arrange for the transfer of this silver back to Taihu Lake in a few days."

"Dad has sold all his property this time. Except for 11w taels of cash, the rest of the property has been converted into grain, cloth, coal, gunpowder, refined iron and other materials for Xiaoyin's rebellion against the Qing Dynasty."

"Brother Wei has ordered people to cremate the bones of my Qian family ancestors and move the tombs. My little sister is about to give birth, and I am so relieved that you two are reunited now. Brother and dad should get away and reunite with their families as soon as possible. Don't worry about Xiaoyin! "

"If my brother's expectations are correct, next year there will be an upsurge of anti-Qing all over the world. Right now, money and food are abundant. Xiaoyin only needs to recruit troops and accumulate strength. Next year, he will have a bright future! Before the wings are full, don't forcefully attack and attract the Qing army to chase after him!"

"Steward Qian, how much silver did you bring back to the village?" Xia Wanchun asked.

Qian Buer: "Don't worry, the military commander. When the master returned to Nanjing, he ordered his family members to place separate bets secretly. The small amount did not attract the attention of the officers and soldiers. Now they have all been transferred back to the village, with a total of 50W taels of silver!"

Xia Wanchun said: "Now our rebel army is considered to be rich in assets, and now we appoint Qian Buer as the treasurer of our rebel army, in charge of all matters related to money, food and materials."

"Chief Wu, how many soldiers are there in the stronghold?"

Wu Qi replied: "The 142 rebels recruited by Wu Qi, the military adviser of Qi, and the 40 members of the Qian family's children brought by Qian Steward, make a total of 182 soldiers ready to fight."

"There are 20 firecrackers and 10 horses in the village."

Xia Wanchun: "Right now the village is rich in supplies, we can continue to recruit anti-Qing fighters to accumulate strength, but keep it secret, and don't ask the officers and soldiers to follow us."

Wu Qi: "Don't worry, military advisor, Mr. Wu has contacted several other rebels around Taihu Lake to join us, and our strength will be greatly enhanced by then."

"It's just that the rebel army led by "Lang Lifei" has more than 300 people, and there are several large ships, which are stronger than us. Willing to surrender."

"How is the strength of his troops compared to my rebel army?" Xia Wanchun asked.

Wu Qi replied: Most of "Lang Li Fei"'s subordinates are desperadoes, and their combat power is fierce. The officers and soldiers have tried to wipe them out several times, but they all lost troops and lost generals. "

"Most of my volunteers were born as fishermen. Although they are proficient in water and have experience in dealing with officers and soldiers, they still lack some bravery compared to them."

According to the newspaper, "Langlifei" sent someone to deliver a letter saying: "I am willing to raise troops to fight against the Qing Dynasty. Please invite Wu Dazhang to gather at Feiying Island and discuss cooperation matters."

Wu Qi said: "Lang Li Fei has always used the guise of rebels to do water bandit activities. This time, I am suddenly invited to cooperate in the fight against the Qing Dynasty. I am afraid that there is fraud in it. It should be that a large number of material personnel have been coming to the island recently, causing If they get their attention, it might be bad for us!"

Xia Wanchun laughed and said: "The person who came to deliver the letter is still waiting for our reply. Since he came to spy on the information, invite him to visit the village and let the firecrackers practice it."
