Chapter 200 Capital City
Fu Cha Mingliang is tragic.

As soon as Fu Cha Mingliang fought with Wu You in the Yangtze River, he knew that he could not win. The opponent's rifle was too accurate. Even the submachine gun was very accurate, with a range of nearly one mile, and the shells fired would actually explode a second time.

With such a disparity in armaments, there was no way to fight, but Fu Cha Mingliang did not give up. He fought and fled in the Yangtze River, and persisted for two days and two nights until his ammunition ran out and his soldiers were almost killed, but he still refused to surrender.

After repeated attempts of persuasion failed, Wu You had no choice but to order his soldiers to shoot and kill the veteran Qing general. The last remaining soldiers of the Qing army either fought to the death or jumped into the surging river. None of them surrendered.

Wu You didn't even get Fu Cha Mingliang's body.

Thanks to the time that Fu Cha Mingliang desperately delayed, Woshibu finally succeeded in escaping, and took away everything from the prefectures and counties along the river. He finally settled down in Fengjie County, which was formerly called Baidi City.

When Chen Gu arrived in Chongqing, the war was completely over. Although he had made a wasted trip, he was relieved to learn that Fu Cha Mingliang had only one or two thousand soldiers left and Wu You was chasing them with warships.

Now, as long as we wait for Lao Piao to bring more good news, the separatist situation in the entire Sichuan will be completed.

"Chen Gu, hahaha, you've become a lot darker, but you've grown taller and stronger!" Ai Laosan was very happy to see Chen Gu. He ran up to hug Chen Gu and laughed.

Although Ai Laosan and Zhou Shoushan were marginalized by Chen Gu, they did not blame Chen Gu. They knew their own family's situation. They were born into ordinary poor families and became boat trackers because they could not survive in their hometown.

Later, they were fortunately picked up by the old man Liu Er, and learned some skills in sword and stick dance from Liu Er. After a few years, because the old man left a position, they were promoted to the position of platoon leader.

Later, Chen Gu appeared. He first led everyone to do a big job and earned a lot of money. Gradually, the village began to undergo earth-shaking changes.

During this process, some people kept up with the pace of the development of the village, such as Lao Nian, Lao Piao, Zhang Haomin and others, but some people fell behind, such as Ai Laosan and Zhou Shoushan.

It was not until Old Shaking Head Liu Er was murdered that Chen Gou entered the city to seek revenge. Later, the imperial army approached the border. Chen Gou won the final battle and annihilated the 9,000-strong army brought by Le Bao. The entire Sichuan province was left destitute of military forces.

The opportunity for rebellion was right before his eyes, so Chen Gu naturally had to seize it. As his territory and army grew larger, Ai Laosan and Zhou Shoushan could no longer keep up with Chen Gu's pace, and had no choice but to be marginalized.

What else can we do?

After all, the abilities of the two are there. They can't govern a region, command an army, or be in charge of a department. Moreover, they are the elders of the village, so they can't be subordinates of others, right?
Just enter the retirement mode, marry a few more wives, have a few more children, and look forward to the next generation.

After all, given their status, even Chen Gu had to give them face. As long as their sons were really capable, they would definitely get the treatment they deserved.

The two men had nothing to ask for, but instead felt more at ease. Others had to call Chen Gu "leader", but they could call him by his first name. With their qualifications, they could do so, and others could not say anything to them.

After all, no one would go against a senior person who has no interest in them. Doing so would not only bring no benefit but also offend others.

"Is everything okay with the Buddha treasure?" Chen Gu was also very happy to see Ai Laosan.

Ai Lao San nodded and said with a smile: "Very good, now everyone in Fobao is living a good life, one by one, the second one is plump, your two wives are pregnant, your eldest wife is probably about to give birth, by the way, when are you going back to Fobao?" "I'm afraid I can't go back for the time being!" Chen Gu thought for a while and said, "Go back and bring them to Chongqing for me!"

"Okay." Ai Lao San agreed first, and then said, "That's right, now all of Sichuan has fallen into our hands, you can now be crowned emperor, so naturally you have to live in the city!"

As soon as Ai Laosan said this, the scene suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at Chen Gu. After all, everyone followed Chen Gu to rebel, just to fight for a better future.

As long as Chen Gu proclaims himself emperor, no matter what happens in the future, at least everyone will be promoted to a higher position.

Chen Gu smiled dumbly, shook his head, and said: "It is better to store up grain and wait until you become king."

Everyone couldn't help but reveal disappointment. Although they knew that now was not the time to become emperor, they were still more or less disappointed.

"Let's go, let's go into the city first!"

As Chen Gu spoke, he took the lead and walked in front, followed closely by Yun Hua and 650 special companies.

Han Yuanxiao quickly ran to the front to lead the way, and led Chen Gu to the original Chongqing Prefecture Yamen. The special battalion could be stationed in the Garrison Yamen.

Entering the lobby, Chen Gu naturally sat in the main seat, Ai Laosan sat in the first seat on the left, followed by Yun Hua, Wu You and others, Han Yuanxiao sat in the first seat on the right, followed by Chen Qi and some Han family officials from Chongqing government office.

"We can postpone claiming to be alone and helpless, but we do need a big city as the capital. The current choices are Chengdu, Nanchong, Luzhou, Chongqing, and Jiangjin. Everyone, please give your opinions first!" Chen Gu said.

Han Yuanxiao said first: "Of course Chongqing is the first choice!"

The Han family has deep roots in Chongqing, so naturally they hope that Chen Gu will make Chongqing the capital. Let's not talk about the various upper-level positions, which will definitely depend on ability and seniority, but at least the Han family can occupy more lower-level positions.

Don't underestimate some insignificant official positions. They can play a key role in many cases. After all, the county magistrate is not as good as the current manager.

Chen Qi smiled and said, "In fact, Jiangjin County can also bear the responsibility of being the capital. In comparison, the people of Jiangjin County are the most supportive of our Huaxia Department. The entire territory has also completed the task of equal distribution of land, and each department is running very smoothly."

Wu You raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Chengdu has always been the center of Sichuan. Both the humanities and the farmland are far superior to other places. I think Chengdu is the most suitable!"

Ai Lao San looked at this and that, and felt that he was not suitable for being an official. He decided to go back to Fobao to retire. "Well, actually, the Tenth Capital of Jiangjin County is not bad. It is relatively flat and backed by Fobao."

Chen Gu pulled the corner of his mouth and said, "Then let's put it aside for now. Notify all the major clans in Jiangjin County to send representatives to Chongqing, notify Zhang Haomin to come to Chongqing, and notify all the military commanders to either come themselves or send representatives to Chongqing."
