Chapter 127 That Young Man That Year
As for the army, Chen Gu will lead them out.

After discussion among everyone, they unanimously decided to go to Hejiang first, with the purpose of plundering ships in the Chishui River. Supplies were secondary, the main purpose was to rob ships.

After seizing the boat, we can go downstream to Chongqing. As long as we act quickly, Le Bao and his men will not be able to react. We can even try to attack Chongqing at that time.

After all, there are only 3,000 Green Camp soldiers in Chongqing, and now Le Bao has dispatched 2,000 of them to Jiangjin County. Chongqing is very empty at this time. With the strength of Chen's army, they can easily attack it if they catch the enemy off guard.

Moreover, after looting Chongqing, they could also make a deal with the Han family nearby to allow the army to obtain supplies.

If Chongqing had made preparations for defending the city in advance, we could have simply bypassed Chongqing and taken a boat straight down to the south of the Yangtze River.

Jiangnan is a prosperous area with weak folk customs. As long as you don't touch poor areas like Yiwu and Danyang, it will be a very easy thing to plunder Jiangnan.

In fact, Chen Gu's target was Shanghai. At that time, Shanghai had become a financial center. It was the headquarters of many money houses, and there was even a money house alliance equivalent to the later UnionPay.

Looting Shanghai would definitely bring in a large sum of money. As long as you have a large amount of silver, it would be much easier to do anything.

Of course, it was still too early to think about attacking Shanghai. It was just a plan in Chen Gou's mind and he hadn't said it out loud. If it wasn't for boosting everyone's morale, Chen Gou wouldn't have mentioned the plans of attacking Hejiang to rob ships and attacking Chongqing.

After all, if the ruler is not discreet, he will lose his ministers, and if the ministers are not discreet, they will lose their lives. Once some things are known to others, it is difficult to keep them secret.

But it doesn't matter. It all depends on Chen Gu's choice as to where to attack. He can let go of the Chishui River and go straight to Hejiang County to steal some cattle and horses, and then attack Yibin or even Chengdu.

Even the choice is to leave with the army or to hide in the mountains and then launch a surprise attack.

After everyone left, Chen Gu sat alone in the Zhongyi Hall for a long time, until it was dinner time and Wu Qing'er came out.

Wu Qing'er usually did not come to Zhongyi Hall. There was a small door in the backyard that led to the outside. After entering Zhongyi Hall, Wu Qing'er first stepped a little harder to make some noise to alert Chen Kui, and then walked to Chen Kui at a normal pace.

Wu Qing'er walks very lightly, and if you don't listen carefully, you can't hear any sound.

Coming behind Chen Gu, Wu Qing'er massaged Chen Gu's shoulders to relieve his stress and said, "Master, we can actually get some money to share among everyone, and then let them live their own lives. Then we can find a place to live a stable life."

"You are just thinking like a woman!" Chen Gu did not scold Wu Qing'er, because the two girls were already pregnant, and it was understandable that they were thinking about An.

"Some things have to be done by someone. If I don't do it, our descendants will do it. It's better to do it sooner rather than later. Things that must be done with bloodshed and death should be done by our generation, so that our descendants can live a good life."

Chen Gu looked outside the door with deep eyes, as if he could see through time and space and see the future.

Chen Gu naturally cannot see through time and space, nor can he see the future, but he knows what will happen in the future.

In just forty years, this corrupt court will lead the country into the abyss, and the next hundred years can be described as tragic for this country.

It was not until July 23, 1921, that a young man was born in Shanghai. After struggling to survive until 1949, he finally put the broken mountains and rivers back together. After that, it was also a hard-won development, and after suffering all kinds of grievances, it took several decades for the country to prosper again.

According to the current timeline, that would have been more than two hundred years later.

“We are the greatest nation in the world, why did we have to endure suffering for so long?
Since we must endure suffering, let this generation suffer all of it!"

Chen Gu shouted with a sinister look in his eyes: "Tell Yunhua to come see me immediately!"

The special forces company was trained by Chen Gu himself. They carried out the most dangerous tasks. Except that they had fewer bullets than snipers during training, they enjoyed the best treatment in other aspects.

From Yunhua to every soldier, Chen Gui can call out everyone's name. These are Chen Gui's true descendants and the ones he trusts the most.

Soon after, the sound of horse hooves was heard, and Yunhua walked in, his face full of fatigue, but his eyes were firm and bright.

Yunhua would set out with the special forces company at dawn every day and ambush in the mountains. After dark, a small number of people would be left behind to defend, while most of them would retreat to Qingyuan Palace to rest.

"Leave the mountain!"

"Sit down!" Chen Gu took a deep breath, and after Yunhua sat down in a serious manner, he said, "Yunhua, we have to evacuate the Buddhist treasure. Lebao and Na Yancheng used this selfish and evil trick. They can choose not to deliberately kill the people of Jiangjin County, but we can't.

The number of civilian laborers is huge. After we capture those in Jiangjin County, there are still other counties to go. If we allow those civilian laborers to consume our ammunition, the Buddhist treasure will not be able to be defended sooner or later. Instead of continuing to waste time like this, it is better to evacuate as soon as possible and plan for the future.

However, even if we want to leave, we can't let Lebao and Na Yancheng get away with it. The Buddhist treasure cannot be left intact to them. Even if we leave it intact, they will definitely destroy it completely later.

Therefore, I need you to do a few things to let them be buried with the Buddha treasure."

"Please give me your orders, Young Master. I will definitely complete the task!" Yunhua stood up straight and replied.

"Very good!" Chen Gu nodded in satisfaction and said with a smile: "Sit down and talk. It will take a while. I have to explain it to you in detail to achieve the best effect!
First of all, this matter needs to be kept secret. Although I can't say it must be kept absolutely confidential, we should try to let as few people as possible know about it. Those who know about it, remember to give them a gag order. If the matter is leaked, I will get to the bottom of it.

First you collect all the kerosene, ~."

After that, Chen Gu spoke for two quarters of an hour, explaining everything to Yunhua in detail, including how to set up traps, how to arrange manpower, how to estimate time, and how people could save their lives. He asked Yunhua for suggestions and then made modifications and improvements based on actual conditions. After another two quarters of an hour of discussion, Yunhua left Zhongyi Hall.

The next day, the evacuation began. Many local people in Fobao were naturally reluctant to evacuate, but they did not make too much noise. After all, if Chen Gu left, they would become prey.

The cruelty of the Qing Dynasty has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts. With an army of 10,000 coming in, few of them will survive. Even if they are not killed directly, they will definitely be looted. Their only option is to retreat into the mountains with supplies in advance.
