Chapter six hundred and fortieth: all together
Chen Changping strode on the streets of Dizhou City. For him, this was a revisiting of the old place. Before he surrendered to Li Ze, the four Chen brothers were authentic green forest heroes. Cangzhou was their hometown and their main territory for their activities.
Sometimes the circumstances of life are really hard to explain. A few years ago, they rebelled and were chased by the then Henghai Jiedushi Liu Chenglin, who was sent by the commander of the Henghai Jiedushi, and had no way to heaven and no way to the ground. Finally, they rushed to Shiyi, kidnapped Liu Chenglin's family, and then fled to Wuyi. They wanted to find a place to settle down, but they never thought they could fall into Li Ze's hands.
Now, Liu Chenglin is his immediate boss, and he and Li Ze have a ten-year slave agreement. Of course, this agreement is more like a joke to him, and now he thinks that this agreement will be indefinitely.
When the bandits returned to Dizhou, they were already a dignified general who commanded tens of thousands of troops.
Liu Xing followed Chen Changping and acted as Chen Changping's tour guide.
After the Battle of Pingzhou, Liu Xing was ordered to arrive in Dizhou. His mission was to contact Dizhou, build camps and communicate relations for the army that was about to arrive. Chen Changping was just the first part of the arrival of the Right Guard.
In Dizhou, the left guard led by Qin Zhao had already been stationed to fight a Pinglu. Li Ze did not think that the troops of the two guards needed to be mobilized, but just mobilized one of the right guards. In addition, some elite troops were drawn from other troops.
Only when the entire Pinglu was captured will the main force of the Right Guard officially arrive. Their station will also become Pinglu instead of Dizhou.
To defeat Lu, the main force will be Qin Zhao's Zuo Xiaowei.
Accompanying Chen Changping was also his fourth brother Chen Changgui who worked in the Zuo Xiaowei.
Unlike Pingzhou and Mozhou, which were just included in Li Ze's command, the Henghai Jiedu ruled was the first area conquered by Li Ze, so it was also the best place to develop. The people's livelihood economy has already vaguely caught up with the original Chengde region. This is mainly due to the strong pull of one Dezhou and one Cangzhou.
Dezhou is the industrial city planned by Li Ze. Cangzhou is becoming more and more prosperous because of the increasing prosperity of Haixing Harbour. With these two engines, this area cannot be developed.
Dizhou is connected to Dezhou and Cangzhou. Although it is not as good as these two places, it is a typical place that is inferior to the top and more than the bottom.
There are many soldiers from the Right Guard on the street who are enthusiastically buying a wide range of goods on the street. A considerable number of soldiers from the Right Guard come from Yingzhou, Mozhou, and even from Pingzhou, Guizhou and other places. For them, the goods from Dizhou are much cheaper than the goods from their hometowns. If you buy things here and then send them back at the inn, even if you add the freight, you still have a lot of money left.
After all, it is really expensive to transport goods from places like Cangzhou in Dezhou to Pingzhou in Mozhou. The road traffic construction in these places is far from being as good as here. In addition, the bandits have not wiped out them for a while, and there are still many risks in selling goods.
But there is no danger when using the official post station, and the thieves have no courage to grab the post station's goods.
Of course, Chen Changping was not short of anything. He went out to wander around, more to commemorate the green years of that year. When he was pulling the flag and rebelling, he was also determined to practice the ideal of eliminating violence and safeguarding good deeds. He couldn't help but feel a little funny. He was so shallow at that time.
What I call doing for heaven, eliminating violence and safeguarding good people, and robbing the rich and helping the poor. At best, I robbed the rich and then distributed them to the poor. In fact, wealth did not grow. Instead, due to the destruction, the economy of this place became worse, the people became more and more difficult, and life became more difficult.
It was not until after following Li Ze that Chen Changping understood what it was like to truly practice the law for heaven. Letting the people live a good life is not as simple as they think. This is a completely huge and systematic project. If there is any problem in any aspect, it is impossible to get things done.
The pedestrians on the street were happy, with happy smiles on their faces, and they all walked quickly like they were stepped on by others. The merchants were happy, and they were eager to greet the pedestrians coming and going to the store to take a look. The vendors on the street were happy, and even if they were the simplest to sell some small vegetables and mountain goods, they could support their families.
For ordinary people, happiness is actually very simple.
Chen Changping used to be like this in the past. A simple happiness actually allowed him to stay at home with his wife and children, but those corrupt officials, local tyrants and evil gentry didn't even give him such simple requests.
Now Chen Changping has higher requirements for happiness. When he no longer has to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation, people like him will naturally think more.
Following Li Xiang and allowing more people to enjoy this simple happiness is now Chen Changping's obsession.
Chen Changping now believes that no one can do this except Li Ze. Therefore, when everyone in front of Li Xiang needs to be eradicated. If these people do not die, there will be no happiness for the people in the world.
"Brother, it seems that General Li De and Li are in front of him." Chen Changgui suddenly saw an acquaintance.
Chen Changping looked up and looked in the direction Chen Changgui pointed at. Is it Li De or that? A young woman next to him should be Li De's wife Liu Xiaochan.
"I didn't expect that Li Xiang would transfer Li De here too!" Chen Changping smiled and strode towards him.
"General Li, General Liu!" Chen Changping walked to the two of them, greeted them with a smile, which shocked the couple who were looking at some masks in a small stall with enthusiasm: "When did you arrive?"
"So it's Brother Changping!" Li De smiled and said, "We just arrived this morning. Where did General Qin order Mao, and then went to visit General Yang. I had lunch at Li Hao at noon. Didn't I come out to have a stroll in the afternoon? When did you arrive?"
"I just arrived yesterday." Chen Changping said: "I really didn't expect that I would fight side by side with you this time. In Mozhou and Pingzhou, we have a happy cooperation."
"It seems that the young master also knew that we were old partners before, so he transferred you and me." Li De smiled and said, "It's better to meet me by chance than to invite me, leave, find a restaurant, and let's have two drinks."
Chen Changping waved his hand: "You don't need to treat me today, someone will invite me!" He pointed to the two behind him, "Liu Xing, my fourth brother Chen Changgui, do you know them all?"
Li De laughed: "Liu Xing is my soldier, why don't I know you? Liu Xing, you are from Dizhou, right? Follow Brother Changping, he didn't make things difficult for you. If he treats you badly, just come and follow me."
"I think you so beautifully!" Chen Changping smiled and knocked on Li De: "When you left, he was just a captain, but now he is in charge of a battalion of cavalry. You can't always think about getting rid of all the good soldiers in the Rangers without leaving some seeds, how can you grow and grow!"
"That's true!" Li De glanced at Liu Xiaochan proudly. Now a considerable number of the cavalry in Zuo Xiaogu were separated from the rangers when he left. "Is it possible that Liu Xing, a local snake, treats him today?"
"Of course." Chen Changping said: "Liu Xing has been here for several months and has bought a house here. This time he went home and brought a lot of good things back. He asked me to taste something fresh. You are lucky and caught up."
"What good things are there? They are all made by their parents themselves, and they are just the original flavor." Liu Xing said.
"What you want is this authentic flavor!" Li De said enthusiastically: "Walk around, there is nothing to visit."
Liu Xing bought a house not big, just an ordinary small yard. He didn't read much. Although he had a study at home, he couldn't see a few books. It was a big sand table, which made Chen Changping and Li De happy.
When the troops were leading the war, it was 90% related to the war. When Liu Xing took Chen Changgui to help prepare evening meals for his younger sister Liu Ru, Chen Changping and Li De stayed in front of the sand table with great interest, looking at the extremely fine-made sand table.
"To be honest, I really couldn't bear to leave Liu Xing back then. You were also poisonous. In order to take him away, I pressed him in the captain's position and did not promote him. I was going to take him to the right Wu Guard before I was promoted. I didn't want you to pick him up." Li De was very upset when he patted the wooden edge of the sand table.
Chen Changping laughed proudly: "Since you know you want to leave, you still have to keep some people. I am the candidate appointed by General Liu, so how can I not ask for good reason first? Look, there are not many people in our army who can do this. I sent him in advance, even if he is busy with this matter, he is also a strong man. With the cooperation of the inner guards, this matter is already very busy. You also know that our Rangers often leave the large army when fighting outside. If they are not familiar with the mountains, rivers and terrain, they will easily suffer a great loss."
"Looking back on this thing, I want to copy one and take it away!"
"No problem, this thing is difficult to make at the beginning, and it only takes a day to copy it." Chen Changping said. "By the way, how many people are here with you this time?"
"The cavalry in the headquarters is five thousand!" Li Dedao. "The cavalry of the Right Wu Guard and the cavalry of the Left Jinwu Guard have all been built. The Right Wu Guard will control the desert south and north and plot against the Western Regions in the future. The Left Jinwu Guard will take over Pingzhou and monitor Zhang Zhongwu. Isn't General Liu coming?"
