Chapter 128 The Flag-Giving Ceremony
The autumn sun is in the sky, and the earth is golden.

Chen Shou and Chen Sanye led many officers and soldiers in red and stood in front of the gate of Panlong Village, waiting for Chen Sheng to come to preside over the flag-giving ceremony.

"This scumbag is getting more and more prestige. I think in a few days, even I, as an old man, have to greet him, and he is not afraid of being struck by lightning!"

After waiting for a long time, there was no one coming on the mountain road, Chen Shou couldn't help whining at the third master Chen in a low voice.

Such complaints, and now he can only send it with Chen Sanye.

It was like he was embarrassed to admit it himself, but now when he saw Chen Sheng, the word "Lao Tzu" became more and more difficult to spit out.

Chen Sanye glanced blankly at the tiger-patterned school armor on his body, too lazy to pay attention to him.

Just you have the face to say Dalang?

You can't bear to take off the coat of county captain on your body, right?
Chen Shou didn't notice the contempt in his old man's eyes, seeing that he didn't say anything, he just assumed that he agreed with what he said, and became more and more excited: "Third Uncle, you said we should beat him up a few more times as soon as possible, I Thinking about it, in a few years, we really won't have this chance..."

"It's really early!"

Chen Sanye couldn't stand this guy anymore, he interrupted his chatter impatiently with his beard: "I heard Xiao Qi said that he has already opened his pulse, and in a year or two, you won't be able to beat him! "

"The deflated calf has a pulse?"

Chen Shou was stunned for a while, feeling inexplicably empty in his heart.

The brain is not as good as that deflated calf thing.

If martial arts are surpassed by that shrewd calf again, this father will really not be able to be...

But soon, he reacted, and said with his neck stuck: "He dares? He is born, and I am still his father!"

"You still know that you are his father?"

Chen Sanye glanced at him with a "shameful" look: "It's just that the writing is not as good as my son, and even the martial arts are almost surpassed by my son. If I were you, I wouldn't have the face to say that I am big. Lang he Laozi."

Chen Shou didn't agree with anyone, so he gave Chen Sanye spray. After thinking for a while, he said in a low voice: "Isn't it just opening the pulse? Let's turn around and let him know, Lao Tzu will always be his Lao Tzu!"

He is no longer at the fourth stage of opening the pulse.

Now he is at the seventh stage of opening the pulse, and he is only one step away from the sea of ​​​​qi!
Chen Sheng is not the only one making progress...

Since Chen Sheng started to take over the Chen family, the Chen family, which had been in decline for a while, was like a skinny old horse who was stabbed in the butt, and ran again with a "Teng" sound. And the more you run, the more energetic you are, the more you run, the more vigorous you are, and the more you run, the fatter you are!

Even those uncles in the Chen family whose hearts were consumed by the ruthless reality and whose martial arts had entered the stage of "advance or retreat", were also stimulated by a wave of conflicts that were stronger than one, and kept up with the expansion of the Chen family. Speed, once again by leaps and bounds!

Although the breath in a man's chest can't be seen or touched, it's really very important!
Poor people will have short ambitions.

Wealth is arrogant!
It's like, most boys who are financially strapped are often very nervous when facing those girls who are upright... The more beautiful the girls, the more they will reflect his poverty and humility in the bottom of the boys' hearts. .

And most of the wealthy children, even if they look like pigs and dogs, most of them have the confidence and courage to put the goddess on the bed.

Chen Shou is also an excellent example.

He was born in the Chen family, a businessman, and learned martial arts at home. When other children were still wearing crotch pants and squatting on the street to play in the mud, he was already following his uncles at home.

In the early years, he was also brave and diligent, and although the speed of martial arts was not as good as that of Chen Sheng today, it was not much inferior.

At that time, he was confident that with only the spear in his hand and the large sword around his waist, the world could go anywhere!
When he took over the position of the head of the Chen family, he realized that many things in this world cannot be solved with just a spear and a big sword. His momentum slowed down. .

Later, after entering the opening pulse, it is even slower than the second, and the competition is difficult.

In the end, he was stuck in the fourth stage of opening the pulse, and he could not make any progress for two or three years.

If there is no accident, when he enters the age of no confusion, his martial arts will fall into a vicious circle of "advance or retreat".

He understands his own problem.

But he had no solution.

Until Chen Sheng took over the businessman Chen's family, he told him with practical actions: It's not that force can't solve the problem, it's just that you didn't use the right method, or maybe your force wasn't strong enough!

And the speed of the Chen family's momentum in January is the same for him as the old machinery has been smeared with butter again...

In just two months, he was able to tear open the five major barriers of opening the pulse that had blocked him for two or three years, and then pierced through the sixth stage of opening the pulse, and broke into the seventh stage of opening the pulse.

He is not an exception!

All the honest and prime-aged guys in the Chen family have greatly improved their martial arts in the past month or two.

And most people's martial arts improvement speed also shows a pair of stamina.

Even Chen Hu, who has lost both qi and blood, has a tendency to return to the open pulse state!
On the other hand, looking at the fourteen veteran Youzhou soldiers headed by Chen Dao, what they were like when they arrived at the Chen family, and what they are still like today.

This is actually quite normal.

Martial arts have entered the late stage of opening the pulse. Without external help, any small diligence is often measured in years.

It's not that they can't integrate into the Chen family.

It's just that they haven't experienced the decline of the Chen family, so naturally they don't have a deep feeling about the rise of the Chen family.

Chen Sheng once studied this change and attributed it to a manifestation of the rising fortune of the Chen family...

……

"Then you have to work hard!"

Chen Sanye glanced at him and said with a "hehe" smile: "Dalang has a great talent in martial arts and has a long history. Since he started to practice martial arts, he has been up every day and practiced without stopping. The sick and weak young man, who is in the open pulse, must be in the sea of ​​​​qi, and he can't stop him for a few years... Speaking of which, how long have you not been practicing in the morning? It seems that you have lost this perseverance since you took over our family? Now Can you still pick it up?"

Chen Shou shrank his neck and defended in a naive manner: "Don't we have to take care of our family's livelihood? With so many affairs, how can we get up early to practice the exercises every day..."

Third Master Chen smiled more kindly: "Is it possible that our family's livelihood is bigger than Chen Jun?"

The implication: You, the Patriarch of the Chen family, have more to worry about than Chen Sheng, the county governor of Chen County?Chen Shengdu insisted, can you, a father, insist?

Chen Shou was silent, and his heart was both alert and regretful: what are you doing with this thing when you are full?

Soon.

Two lines of neatly armored county soldiers appeared at the end of the mountain road.

Seeing this, Chen Shou tightened the leather belt around his waist, raised his chest and raised his head, and at the end he seemed to suddenly remember something, he turned his head and shouted at the many officers in red behind him: "The county guard is here, all cheer up. Come!"

However, that still requires his orders.

Many red-clothed army officers had already raised their waists like a javelin, staring intently at the end of the mountain road. The dark faces were full of enthusiasm that made Chen Shou, the captain of the red-clothed army, feel very unfamiliar. !

Chen Shou glanced around, his face darkened even more, his chest that had just been lifted up, collapsed again.

The late emperor was still struggling, but the middle way collapsed...

……

The new Chenjun soldier Cao Ye Chendao personally led [-] soldiers and escorted Chen Sheng, who was wearing soldier armor, to climb the mountain.

Chen Sheng saw Chen Shou and Chen Sanye and others who were waiting in front of the gate of the cottage from a distance, and restrained the horse under his crotch and turned over.

He casually threw the reins to the armored soldier beside him, stepped forward quickly, and was about to greet him.

Chen Sanye has walked up in three steps and two steps, holding his hands that squeezed his palms, and said in a low voice, "Today, your identities are different. It's just about seniority, not seniority."

Chen Sheng smiled, took a step back, and stubbornly bowed to the end: "Not to mention that the grandson, the county governor, is still in the wrong name, even if the grandson ascends to the top of the king of Yanzhou one day, he will still be your grandson!"

"Bullshit!"

Chen Sanye hurriedly helped him up and scolded him in a low voice.

But the smile lines crawled from the corner of his mouth to the corner of his eyes.

He took Chen Sheng's arm, half a position behind Chen Sheng, and pushed it in front of Chen Shou.

"Father is big..."

Chen Sheng squeezed his palm and was about to greet Chen Shou again, but Chen Shou had already grabbed his arm and said angrily, "Forget it, the head of our mere family can't afford to be the head of your county!"

Chen Sheng raised his face in confusion and glanced at him. Seeing that he had a black face with Chinese characters, he turned his head to look at Chen Sanye in confusion: Third Master, what kind of medicine did my father take wrong?
Chen Sanye glared at Chen Shou, Chen Shou turned his face away and didn't look at him.

In front of so many people, Third Master Chen had no choice but to turn his face and said with a smile that only the three of them could hear: "I'll go back and clean him up... Do business first!"

Chen Sheng nodded, showing a flattering smile to Chen Shou, then put away the smile, raised his chest and slowly stepped into the Panlong Village.

The moment he crossed the gate of the cottage and stepped into the Panlong Village.

Four majestic cowhide drums sounded in unison from all sides of the school grounds.

The [-] red-armored troops standing on the school grounds, led by dozens of colonists, hundreds of generals, and [-] leaders, nodded on one knee and shouted in unison, "Meet the general!"

The tidy and majestic shouts rose into the sky and startled countless birds in the mountains and forests!

Chen Sheng stopped, and his eyes slowly swept across the four thousand soldiers and horses in front of him. An electric current rushed from the soles of his feet to the top of his head along his spine, causing his scalp to go numb and goosebumps all over his body.

He took a deep breath, his chest full of pride!
This is Lao Tzu's soldiers!
As soon as I give an order, I can rush out to cut down the soldiers and horses!
That man, never imagined that the horizontal sword would immediately wear the golden armor in a hundred battles?

He stretched out a hand without looking back.

Seeing this, Chen Dao at the rear waved his hand, and immediately a team of soldiers called a red flag wrapped around a pole into Chen Sheng's hands.

Chen Sheng took the flagpole with a thick arm, waved his hand and waved it in the wind.

A bright red flag without any patterns appeared in his hand.

He held a three-zhang banner with one hand, and without looking back, he walked step by step to the point of view in front of the school grounds.

All the officers and soldiers in red shirts maintained the posture of touching the ground on one knee, and moved their gazes frantically, following the banner.

Before attacking the county government.

Most of them have only heard of Chen Sheng's name.

After attacking the county government.

Among them, no one does not know Chen Sheng's person and appearance.

In addition, Li Zhong, Chen Sheng's number one believer, is secretly madly promoting Chen Sheng's shocking beliefs!
They have already bowed down to Chen Sheng's wide-leg pants with sincerity!
That sentence "why".

It is something that their ancestors have been accustomed to for generations.

No matter how hard, tired, dark or hopeless life is.

They never felt that there was anything wrong with those things.

In other words, even if someone had the idea of ​​​​questioning...

At the moment of creation, he was smothered by himself.

He even blamed himself for the original sin of such thoughts.

look……

Why don't others have this question.

What about you?

Surely you haven't tried hard enough!
Surely you are not lucky enough!
until.

Someone shouted loudly.

Someone shouted out with a group of people.

They were suddenly shocked...

Yes!

Why?
Why are they born with bells and dings?
Why should we be born to be cows and horses?
Why do their ancestors regard us as cattle and horses for generations?

Why are our ancestors used to be their cattle and horses?

It's always been like this, right?
Why is this sentence...

They just listen.

I already feel the blood is boiling and the feelings are difficult to myself!
Let alone.

shouting this man.

He didn't just shout!

He also did it!
And it's done!

He robbed the food that was distributed to the big dogs!
Give them to these refugees who are going to starve to death!
Take them with you!

Downed the county government!
Cut off the head of the head of the county who stepped on their head high above, and threw it down the steps!
This daring act of resistance, to them, is no different from that little light in the darkness!

People are used to darkness.

Because they have never seen the light.

……

More and more passionate, more and more majestic drums.

Everyone silently watched Chen Sheng walk to the point step by step.

Four thousand Red Shirts.

Three hundred soldiers.

The Chen family.

Thousands of villagers.

are looking at him.

Watching him use a body that is still not tall or strong, holding a bright red flag, step by step to the point of command!
The thin stature is in stark contrast to the bold and shocking deeds he has done in the past!

More and more bring out the greatness of thought and personality!

at this time.

Even Chen Shou, who was the most difficult to face him, felt that the short and thin figure made him unable to open his eyes.

……

"Tude."

Chen Sheng boarded the stage, walked to the center, and gently lowered the bright red flag in his hand.

He held the flag with one hand and pressed it with the other.

The drum beat stopped quickly.

"Get up!"

he exclaimed.

With a smile on his face.

The four thousand red-clothed soldiers stood up neatly, raised their heads, looked at him quietly, and looked at his smiling face.

In such a solemn and solemn occasion, the smile on his face did not violate the slightest.

Just make them feel peaceful and quiet.

"I think you all know me."

Chen Sheng's opening remarks are always so down-to-earth: "But I still have to introduce myself first. My name is Chen Sheng, but you should call me Zhang Chu, General Zhang Chu, your general!"

"A month ago, the state government allocated a batch of food for famine relief and distributed it to the great families in the county."

"I don't quite agree with their method of distribution, so I took Li Zhong and the others to rob the batch of food, distributed half of it to the refugees in the county, and used the remaining half to recruit you. "

"At that time, there were only a hundred of us."

"At that time, in the face of hundreds of people who were escorting grain, I asked Li Zhong and them, 'Why'?"

"Why, some people are born aloof."

"Why, some people are born to be cows and horses."

"Li Zhong and the others can't give an answer."

"I can't give an answer either."

"I think this answer may have to be asked by those who are high above."

He spoke slowly and slowly in a low and powerful voice.

"Six days ago, the county governor of Chen County, Xiong Wan, was tired of being a county governor. He colluded with the rebels of Taiping who were in trouble in the north, and wanted him to be the king of Chen County for generations to come."

"I don't quite agree with his idea, and then I took you to Chen County, captured the county government office, and asked him: Why?"

"He replied to me: 'The people of rogue slaves should be made to lie down in the mud, and the sons of merchants should be made to run around in the marketplace'."

"It means that the merchants should do business in the market wells, the farmers should plough the fields, and the refugees should starve to death in the streets."

"I thought he was wrong, so I asked him who should decide who should be a businessman, who should be a farmer, and who should be a refugee."

"He said that he was the descendant of Emperor Zhuanxu and the fortieth grandson of the Marquis of Chu. To us unimportant people, he was like the sun in the sky, so it was up to him to decide who should be the businessman, Whoever has been a businessman for generations, he said that whoever is a farmer, whoever is a generational should be a farmer, he said that whoever is a refugee, who is a generational is a refugee... oh no, the refugees all starve to death, and there will be no next generation."

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, then slowly swept past the [-] red-clothed troops gathered under the stage, as well as many county soldiers, Chen Guyuji, and Panlongzhai villagers.

He saw the little flames.

He saw choppy waves.

They...are farmers who lost their fields, refugees who should starve to death!

Chen Sheng chuckled, his peaceful voice was like a crystal clear spring, soothing the anger in their hearts: "But I still don't think he deserves to decide who we should be, and then I take my sword. Go try it, try his noble head, how is it different from the heads of us assholes."

"It turned out to be a bit surprising. I slashed down gently, and his head fell off. Like a rotten persimmon, he rolled down the steps, bloody!"

"I was stunned for a long time before I could react... Oh, it turns out that the descendants of Emperor Zhuanxu, the forty-generation grandson of Chu Houzhi, are no different from us assholes. If you cut down with a sword, you will die just as well!"

"Then why are you pretending to be your grandma's leg with me?"

he said with a smile.

But after his laughing voice fell, the flames burning in the eyes of thousands of pairs of people under the stage suddenly jumped up frantically.

It turns out that the crystal clear may not be a clear spring, but it may be gasoline!
"You all know what happened next!"

Chen Sheng didn't pause any more, but said at a faster pace: "We opened Chen County's granary, dragged the granary inside, and sent it to those who were about to starve to death!"

"We executed those officials who sat on official positions, but didn't do things for the people and only wanted to oppress the people, and replaced them with people who could do things without oppressing the people, and run errands for us!"

"We swept down the aristocratic families and big clans in the fish and meat villages who bullied the market, dragged out the sprouted and moldy grains in their granaries, and distributed them to those who were about to starve to death!"

"We made Chen Jun better!"

"All people like us have hope of living."

"All people like us can live as individuals when they are alive, and die as individuals when they die."

"Instead of living like a human being, it's not a good death to die."

"But it's just the simplest..."

He glanced at the audience again, slowed down his speech and said, "I still want our descendants to want to be officials in the future, but they can't, just because he doesn't have the talent to be an official, not because he is the son of a businessman. , the son of the farmer, the son of the refugee!"

"We want our descendants, whether they be the son of an official, a merchant, a farmer or a refugee, whether poor or rich, whether healthy or disabled, he can be a person, not a cow or a horse for anyone! "

"It's hard!"

He said very seriously: "It's really difficult, there will be many, many people who want our descendants to continue to live like us, continue to support their descendants, serve their descendants, and continue to let Their descendants are like now, riding on our heads to poop and piss."

"But no matter how difficult it is, I want to try."

"You guys, will you help me?"

The field was silent.

Everyone looked at him helplessly.

It seems that the dream he depicted is so beautiful!
It's not possible at all!

It's like they don't have the courage!
Don't have the courage to do this dream with him!

Just when Chen Sanye, Chen Shou and others were sweating for Chen Sheng, thinking that he had screwed up the flag-giving ceremony.

Chen Sheng, who was on the stage, suddenly laughed, and said indifferently, "Oh, so you don't even dare to think about it?"

Not so drastic words.

But like the sharpest knife.

Violently poked into the hearts of all those who were still hesitant and doubtful a second ago.

Li Zhong rushed out of the crowd, knelt down on one knee, raised his head high, looked up at Chen Sheng above, and roared hoarsely: "But if you die, you will never return!"

The torn gong's voice woke up all the officers and soldiers in red at once.

yes?

Don't they even dare to think about it?
They knelt down on one knee again, looked at Chen Sheng on the stage with the same frantic eyes as Li Zhong, and roared in unison: "But if you die, you will never return!"

Even the soldiers and soldiers of the three hundred counties in the rear, and many people in the Panlong Village around them, all knelt down on one knee and shouted in unison.

They, too, have converted!
Shout.

The echo of the mountain and tsunami echoed in the mountains and forests.

All gritted their teeth.

Endured the goose bumps on his body.

After a long time, the voice slowly fell.

"I've been thinking about the pattern on this flag for a long time, but I haven't figured out what to draw on it."

Chen Sheng said again: "Later, I felt that you are a brand new army, an army with ideals, and your future should be decided by yourself!"

"If all of you are like tigers, tiger patterns will be drawn on this red flag in the future!"

"If all of you are like dragons, dragon patterns will be drawn on this red flag in the future!"

"If you are all worms, painting a dragon and painting a tiger will only make others laugh at it!"

"Li Zhong, take the flag!"

　Six thousand chapters, the rest will continue to be made up tomorrow.
