Chapter 596 Sir, let’s rebel!

In Yang Zhengshan's heart, Yang Mingcheng is the most honest, Yang Mingzhi is the most restless, and Yang Minghao is the most heartless.

But Yang Zhengshan didn't know that the most restless of the second generation of the Yang family was actually Yang Mingzhao.

This can't be blamed on Yang Zhengshan. In fact, Yang Mingzhao has always behaved very well since he was a child. He grew up, got married, had children, and was always well-behaved. He also practiced martial arts and practiced martial arts very diligently. This gave Yang Zhengshan an illusion that my son is a filial and sunny boy.

However, this sunny boy has already run to Bashu to be a bandit.

Bashu, the north of Kuizhou Prefecture.

In a valley hidden among the mountains, there are more than 5,000 people.

These 5,000 people all fled into the mountains after the drought in Kuizhou Prefecture more than ten years ago. When they first came here, there were only more than 300 people, and the valley was just a wasteland. However, after more than ten years of reclamation and development, they have grown to more than 5,000 people and reclaimed more than 20,000 acres of land.

Although the valley is very barren, not much food is grown, and life is very hard, they are still willing to hide in the mountains to live, just because they still have a bite to eat here, and once they leave here, they may starve to death.

There are no exorbitant taxes and no corvée, even if life is poor, they can survive.

The valley is surrounded by high mountains, only in the south there is only a slightly lower peak, a small river flows slowly out of the mountains, through the narrow valley into the col in the south.

There are farmlands on both sides of the river, and the farmlands are planted with wheat. At this time, it is golden, and it is time to harvest.

Yang Mingzhao and Chen Buyu walked side by side on the ridge of the river, looking at the golden wheat field, talking with a relaxed look.

Yes, it was Chen Buyu who was with Yang Mingzhao, as for how the two met.

This story starts five years ago.

Five years ago, Yang Mingzhao was 21 years old, married for four years, and his child was already three years old. He was a little bored on Xingyue Island, so he came to Darong to travel.

Young people want to travel, and Yang Zhengshan will naturally not refuse.

Yang Mingzhao landed in Fuhai Province, passed through Fuhai, Jiangnan, Yungui, and finally came to Bashu.

At that time, Chen Buyu and his father Chen Dingan had been killing officials and rebelling for six years, but they had not lived a good life in those six years. Killing officials and rebelling would inevitably be wanted by the government. Although they could hide in the mountains, there was a shortage of everything in the mountains, and they did not dare to enter the city, so they could only rob some caravans or supplies escorted by officials.

For this reason, Chen Buyu's father Chen Dingan was seriously injured and died in a robbery. After Chen Dingan died, Chen Buyu led hundreds of clansmen to continue to be bandits.

Then they robbed Yang Mingzhao. Needless to say, the strength of Chen Buyu and his men was not enough to stand up to Yang Mingzhao, not to mention that Yang Mingzhao was accompanied by several followers and guards.

However, Chen Buyu and his men seemed to only rob things and not kill people. Seeing that they only wanted money and not kill people, Yang Mingzhao did not kill them.

After Chen Buyu was captured, Yang Mingzhao asked him why he became a bandit.

After Chen Buyu's story, Yang Mingzhao expressed deep sympathy and finally let them go.

At first, Yang Mingzhao had never thought of becoming a bandit, but after he went to Kuizhou Prefecture, he was blackmailed by officials.

I was not angry when bandits robbed me, but the officials dared to blackmail me. They really thought I was just a freeloader.

Yang Mingzhao killed seven or eight officials in anger. After that, he encountered many messy things in Bashu. Finally, he encountered a group of officials forcibly collecting taxes in a village.

More than 20 officials and runners were robbing in the village, and Yang Mingzhao killed them again.

But the problem is, he can kill the officials and leave, but what about the remaining villagers?

These villagers must not stay in the village, otherwise they will die.

So Yang Mingzhao took hundreds of villagers to find Chen Buyu and asked him to help take care of these villagers.

However, he still did not join the gang at that time, but asked his followers to buy some supplies and give them to Chen Buyu.

Yang Mingzhao returned to Xingyue Island and stayed in Xingyue Island for more than half a year, but he was always worried about those villagers, after all, those villagers were implicated by him.

If he did not kill people at that time, these villagers might have suffered some harm, but they did not need to flee their hometown and hide in the mountains to become wild people.

So he ran to Bashu again and found Chen Buyu again.

In the following years, he came to Bashu once a year, and brought some supplies to Chen Buyu every time.

After a few visits, he and Chen Buyu became familiar with each other.

Five years passed in a flash, and Yang Mingzhao became the major shareholder of this valley, and was promoted to the head of the family. Chen Buyu was even willing to serve him as the master.

Why was Chen Buyu willing to serve him as the master?

The reason was simple, Yang Mingzhao gave too much.

Over the years, Yang Mingzhao gave Chen Buyu supplies worth thousands of taels of silver.

This little money was naturally nothing in Yang Mingzhao's eyes, but it was a life-saving favor to Chen Buyu.

Without the supplies given by Yang Mingzhao, they could only go down the mountain to rob, but robbed was desperate, and every robbed might encounter danger.

Chen Buyu's father and many of Chen Buyu's clansmen died in battle for robbing.

The supplies given to them by Yang Mingzhao solved their problem of survival in the mountains, so that they no longer went down the mountain to rob for a little bit of things.

So just like that, Yang Mingzhao became the head of the family here.

"Sir, this year's harvest is very good. We won't be short of food this year!" Chen Buyu followed Yang Mingzhao with a longbow on his back, saying with joy.

Yang Mingzhao couldn't use his real name when he was doing things outside, so he gave himself a pseudonym Yang Zhao.

Chen Buyu only knew that Yang Mingzhao was born in an extraordinary family, but he didn't know Yang Mingzhao's true background.

"What about other things? Just tell me what you need, I'll send someone to buy it!" Yang Mingzhao was like a stupid son of a landlord, not caring about money at all.

"Salt and cotton cloth are all gone. If possible, get another batch of farm tools. This year we have successively received hundreds of people, and they still need to reclaim wasteland!" Chen Buyu said.

There is nothing in the mountains, and their identities are still a problem. It is very troublesome to buy something.

Yang Mingzhao turned his head to look at the followers behind him and said, "Old Han, Ma Yan, you two go to Dachang County to find Li Dagui and ask him to buy more. Well, if possible, buy a few cows and send them together!"

He was surrounded by two servants and four guards. Old Han and Li Dagui were his guards, both of whom were slaves bought by the Yang family in the early days. Ma Yan was his servant. Ma Yan's grandfather was Ma San, the Yang family's former horse herder.

Ma San had passed away ten years ago, but his son and grandson still worked for the Yang family. Ma Yan had been with Yang Mingzhao since he was a child, and has been with Yang Mingzhao for fifteen or sixteen years now.

"Yes!" Old Han said directly without saying anything.

Ma Yan looked at Yang Mingzhao and hesitated to speak. In the end, he didn't speak, but just glanced at Lu Bo beside him.

Lu Bo showed a helpless expression.

Lu Bo was also a servant beside Yang Mingzhao. He followed Yang Mingzhao earlier than Ma Yan because his grandfather was Lu Shou.

The two of them were helpless about Yang Mingzhao mixing with a group of bandits. The fourth master of the Yang family actually became the leader of a group of bandits. If this matter were to be spread out, the consequences would be unimaginable.

And if the eldest master knew about this, the two of them would definitely be punished.

Unfortunately, they had advised Yang Mingzhao many times, but Yang Mingzhao did not listen at all.

Old Han and Ma Yan left the valley to go to Dachang County to buy things, while Yang Mingzhao returned to the village with Chen Buyu.

There were four villages in the valley. The largest village was at the entrance of the valley. It was called a village, but it was actually a fortress. Moreover, this fortress was built by Yang Mingzhao in the style of the garrison in Chongshan Town.

The outer wall was more than four meters high and stuck at the entrance of the valley. Outside the fortress was a narrow mountain road that could only be passed by two or three people in a row.

The fortress stood there, looking like a one-man-guard-the-gate, ten thousand people could not open it.

Except for the village at the entrance, the other three villages are all in the valley. The deeper the village is, the later it was built.

They cultivated it bit by bit, and the villages were built one by one.

In the fortress, Yang Mingzhao also has a yard, which is not big, with only five houses.

Back to the fortress, Yang Mingzhao and Chen Buyu drank tea in the main hall.

"This tea is really delicious!" Chen Buyu couldn't help but praise it again.

How could it not be delicious?

This is Donglingchun!

"Do you have any more I left for you last time?" Yang Mingzhao held the tea and drank it casually.

"There is still some, but I haven't been willing to drink it!" Chen Buyu grinned.

"Don't keep it. This tea is good for cultivation. Since I gave it to you, you can drink it. This time I brought you two kilograms, just drink it!" Yang Mingzhao said indifferently.

The son sells his father's land without any regret. Donglingchun is a priceless good thing in Kyoto. One catty can be sold for at least two or three thousand taels of silver. As a result, Yang Mingzhao gave two catties.

"And wine, I also brought ten catties, all of which are useful for cultivation, don't waste it!"

No mistakes, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!

"By the way, what is your current cultivation level?"

Chen Buyu said: "The fourth level of the acquired realm!"

"Too low!" Yang Mingzhao said.

Chen Buyu rubbed his sheep-horn beard, "Sir, I'm only thirty years old!"

Yang Mingzhao looked up and glanced at him, "I'm only twenty-six years old, but my cultivation level has reached the fifth level of the acquired realm!"

"..."

Chen Buyu didn't say anything, but he muttered in his heart: "You are a monster, but I'm not a monster!"

Is Chen Buyu's cultivation level low?

In fact, it's not low!

Chen Buyu was a warrior at the age of fifteen, reached the level of strength training at the age of eighteen, and broke through to the post-natal realm at the age of twenty. With his qualifications, he was qualified to enter the martial arts pavilion.

But since they hid in the mountains, they even had problems with eating, and the matter of cultivation fell behind.

Until the age of twenty-five, he was still at the post-natal level. Later, with the support of Yang Mingzhao, life in the valley became better, and his cultivation began to improve.

Chen Buyu didn't want to talk about cultivation anymore, so he changed the subject and said, "Sir, I'm afraid the valley can't accommodate more people!"

Yang Mingzhao asked, "Didn't you find other places to reclaim wasteland?"

Chen Buyu shook his head, "No, there are mountains for more than ten miles around. Although there are places that can be reclaimed for farming, it is extremely inconvenient to use water, and it is estimated that not much food can be produced!"

Yang Mingzhao frowned. Although the food in the valley can be self-sufficient at present, more and more people have come to seek refuge in the past two years.

They are not unknown here. In fact, it was known by the people around a long time ago, and even the people around gave it a nice name.

Three Arrow Valley!

Why is it called Sanjian Valley?

Because Chen Buyu has a nickname called Chen Sanjian.

Not only the people around know the existence of Sanjian Valley, but also the government. Two years ago, the government even summoned hundreds of militiamen to attack Sanjian Valley.

As a result, Chen Buyu shot six people to death with three arrows. That's right, he shot six people to death with three arrows, killing two birds with one stone!

So Chen Buyu got the nickname Chen Sanjian, and this valley was called Sanjian Valley.

"What do you think?" Yang Mingzhao asked.

Chen Buyu hesitated and said, "Sir, should we capture the county?"

"What do we want to capture the county?" Yang Mingzhao was puzzled.

"Rebellion!" Chen Buyu said.

"..."

Yang Mingzhao suddenly felt that he had a big problem.

Rebellion?

Whose rebellion?

I have two senior brothers, one is the crown prince and the other is Prince An.

I have an older nephew, who is the Marquis of Jing'an in Darong.

I have several cousins ​​who are lieutenant generals or guerrilla generals of Darong.

I also have a group of nephews who are military officers in the court.

You want me to rebel?

"Why do you want to rebel?" Yang Mingzhao asked.

Chen Buyu said: "The Black Tiger King occupied four counties in Bozhou, the Nine Heavenly King occupied three counties in Wusha Prefecture, and Ma He, the commander of the Southern Shu Xingdusi, occupied six counties in Southern Shu, and they have their own troops! In addition, there are 18 rebel forces in action!"

"Sir, if we can also occupy one or two counties, we don't have to live so hard!"

Yang Mingzhao sweated and said, "Do you know that rebellion will kill people!"

"If I was afraid of death, I wouldn't have killed the county magistrate back then!" Chen Buyu said.

Yang Mingzhao said: "Listen to me, rebellion has no future."

"Why has no future? The Black Tiger King has occupied Bozhou for four years, but the court has not yet wiped him out!" Chen Buyu was like a weird uncle holding a lollipop, tempting Yang Mingzhao.

"That's because the court didn't take the rebellion seriously. The power of the court is far stronger than you think!" Yang Mingzhao said.

Chen Buyu is just a bandit after all. Really, he is a bandit.

His father is just a centurion. He has never left Kuizhou Prefecture in his life. Although he has heard a lot about the court, his understanding of the court is greatly flawed.

However, Yang Mingzhao's understanding of the court is also greatly flawed, that is, he thinks the power of the court is very strong.

Indeed, the power of the court is now so strong that it is indescribable for the rebels in Bashu.

But the power of the court is far less than Yang Mingzhao imagined.

Yang Mingzhao's understanding of the court is still more than ten years ago, and still in Chongshan Town.

However, more than ten years have passed, and the court today is no longer the court of the past, but Chongshan Town today is still the Chongshan Town of the past.
