Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather.

Chapter 601 Yang Mingzhao's Team
One hundred and fifty years ago, the Shen Yang Sect supported Prince Yong's rebellion, but unfortunately Prince Yong was useless and the rebellion ultimately failed.

However, Lin Fuan was not born at that time. He was born after the Shen Yang Sect hid in the Miaoling Mountains, and his father was the previous leader of the Shen Yang Sect.

After the great defeat, the Shen Yang Sect was very weak, with less than a hundred followers left. Later, they hid in the mountains and recovered a lot of strength, but even when the position of leader was passed to him, the Shen Yang Sect only had more than a thousand followers.

He has been in charge of the Shen Yang Sect for fifty years, and has gradually expanded the sect to its current size.

Twenty years ago, he had thought about doing something in Kyoto, but unfortunately, one careless move led to a complete failure, and most of the hard work he had spent on Kyoto for more than ten years wasted.

Since then, he has become more cautious, and the actions of the Shenyang Sect have become more secretive.

He knew that the Secret Guards were looking for the traces of the Shen Yang Sect, but no one knew that all the actions of the Secret Guards were actually under his nose.

The middle-aged man left. Lin Fuan leaned on his hoe and thought for a while. Then he called a subordinate and ordered, "Send a message to Chen Hengchang and tell him to prepare for the uprising in Jiujiang Prefecture!"

……

Inside Jiujiang City.

Chen Hengchang was sitting lazily under a big banyan tree, drinking tea and reading.

Next to him, Yan Huichun was demonstrating some moves with a long sword in his hand.

Chen Hengchang is the son of Prince Qing. After Prince Qing and Ji Feiyu were defeated, Chen Hengchang inherited the navy on Heishan Island. Prince Qing died of illness, and Chen Hengchang inherited all the power left by Prince Qing, including Ji Feiyu and all the navy on Heishan Island.

Later, the Shen Yang Sect tried to win them over, and after many discussions, they finally joined the Shen Yang Sect.

Ji Feiyu became the Red Lord of the Shenyang Sect, and although Chen Hengchang did not have a specific position in the Shenyang Sect, he was the object of support from the Shenyang Sect.

The Shen Yang Cult wanted to start a rebellion and had to borrow his status as a royal family member.

Over the years, Chen Hengchang moved around in Darong, stayed in Liaodong for a few years, and stayed in Longyuan and Fuhai for a few years each. Finally, he came to Yungui and regarded Yungui as the final place for his uprising.

An attendant came to Yan Huichun and whispered a few words. After listening, Yan Huichun immediately came to Chen Hengchang and said, "My lord, there is a message from the capital saying that Emperor Yanping is seriously ill, and the crown prince has been appointed as regent!"

"Okay, got it!" Chen Hengchang continued to look at the book in his hand calmly.

Seeing that he had no reaction, Yan Huichun was confused, "Master, shouldn't we do something?"

"doing what?"

"Should we take advantage of the opportunity to start a rebellion? Bashu is already in chaos. If we start a rebellion in Yungui, we will be able to occupy the three prefectures in a short period of time, and then it will be difficult for the court to quell the rebellion!" Yan Huichun said.

Chen Hengchang said: "No hurry, that old man hasn't spoken yet, there's no point in us doing anything now!"

"Haha, what we have to do now is to wait obediently for the old man to bring me tens of thousands of troops!"

Cooperation with the Shen Yang Sect was a result of necessity, but he did not have a good feeling towards the Shen Yang Sect. In his heart, the followers of the Shen Yang Sect were a group of lunatics, a group of devils who had lost their humanity.

He needs to borrow the power of the Shen Yang Sect, but he will never let himself turn into a devil.

"But it's time to prepare. You should talk to your brothers and ask them to be ready. Once there is any news, they should take action immediately. I don't want anyone to hold us back!" said Chen Hengchang.

"Yes!" Yan Huichun looked delighted and went to do the job.

Emperor Yanping was seriously ill, the court was unstable, and there were constant unrest among the people. Many people felt that this was an opportunity, and many people seemed to have seen the end of the dynasty.

Countless ambitious and ill-intentioned people couldn't help but get excited.

Of course, there are also countless righteous people who care about the country and the people and have already begun to take action.

Among them was Yang Mingzhao, the stupid son of a landlord.

Three Arrow Valley of Kuizhou Prefecture.

Hundreds of young and strong men pushed carts of supplies into the valley.

Yang Mingzhao looked at the busy crowd happily, and Chen Buyu's face was full of surprise.

"Sir, are these all ours?"

"Of course, if you want to do big things, you must have some capital. Here are food, salt, cloth, iron ingots, etc. Haha, I also bought two hundred long swords." Yang Mingzhao said proudly.

He was not stupid enough to come here with tens of thousands of taels of silver. In this mountain valley, even if he had silver, he couldn't buy anything, so they bought a lot of supplies along the way.

Of course, he still has a lot of silver in his hands now, and he spent less than 20,000 taels of silver on all these things.

And with these supplies, they had enough to equip a real army.

"It's a pity that armor and war horses are hard to buy, but I bought a dozen mules, which can help us transport supplies."

Bashu is not a mountainous town. In a mountainous town, there are countless horses and it is easy to buy dozens or hundreds of war horses. However, most of the horses in Bashu are ponies, which are more suitable for carrying goods but not suitable as war horses for cavalry.

But it doesn't matter. Bashu is mountainous and not suitable for large-scale cavalry battles. You can't even find a fully organized cavalry unit in Bashu.

"Is this the good place you mentioned? Are these the heroes you mentioned?" Wu Zheng looked at the dilapidated village, and then at these disheveled young soldiers.

Wu Zheng felt that he had been cheated. Well, in fact, he had already prepared himself to be cheated.

"Hehe, Uncle Wu, don't be angry. Believe me, nephew. We are going to do something big next. We will definitely not let Uncle Wu get bored!" Yang Mingzhao said.

Chen Buyu looked at Wu Zheng and the other seven young talents with some curiosity.

The seven young talents looked at everything in front of them with confusion, not understanding why the Fourth Master brought them here.

"What big thing are you going to do?" Wu Zheng looked inside the village, "This isn't a den of bandits, is it?"

"Hehe, they are not bandits, they are not bandits!" Yang Mingzhao quickly denied.

Bandits and the like are really cheap and uncool.

Yang Mingzhao felt that being a bandit was somewhat shameful.

"We are the rebels!"

"Rebels!" Wu Zheng didn't react for a moment, but soon he looked at Yang Mingzhao in astonishment, "You want to rebel?"

"That's right, it's a rebellion. What do you think? Uncle Wu, are you interested in having a big fight with me?" Yang Mingzhao's face was full of anticipation.

Wu Zheng's expression was extremely strange, and he looked at Yang Mingzhao as if he was looking at a strange flower.

"Don't do it!"

"No, Uncle Wu, I need you to be here. I will feel uneasy if you are not here!" Yang Mingzhao grabbed Wu Zheng's sleeve, fearing that Wu Zheng would run away.

"Don't harm me. If the island owner knew about this, he would definitely knock my head off!" Wu Zheng shook his head repeatedly.

However, the seven young talents did not show much opposition.

Even when they heard about the rebellion, they all looked quite interested.

rebel!

This sounds like a lot of fun!
As for who they are rebelling against, they don’t care, as long as it’s not a rebellion against the Yang family.

The origins of young people like them were very complicated. Some were islanders, some were refugees who migrated from Fuhai to Xingyue Island, and some were original slaves of the Yang family. But no matter what their origins were, they didn’t have much feeling for Darong. After all, they all grew up on Xingyue Island.

"My father is out and won't be home for a long time!" said Yang Mingzhao.

Wu Zheng looked at him speechlessly. He really didn't expect Yang Mingzhao to do such a big thing!

But why is his heart stirring?

rebel?

It seems very interesting!

If it were Ding Qiu, Wu Zhan or Luo Jinsong, they would definitely not follow Yang Mingzhao in making trouble, but Wu Zheng had an uneasy heart.

"Uncle Wu, don't worry. If my father blames me, I will take the blame alone!" Yang Mingzhao promised, patting his chest.

"Can you bear it?" Wu Zheng was a little skeptical.

Yang Mingzhao felt a little guilty, but he still said, "My father can't beat me to death!"

Wu Zheng rubbed his beard and thought for a while, "Probably not, but it might break your legs!"

"No, no, absolutely not. My father is not that cruel! Besides, my mother would never let my father break my legs!" Yang Mingzhao said.

"Madam's might be even bigger and more brutal!" Wu Zheng reminded.

Yang Mingzhao blinked, "No way!"

"What do you think, Fourth Master?" Wu Zheng asked.

Yang Mingzhao thought about it anxiously, "It's possible!"

From childhood to adulthood, Yang Zhengshan and Yu Qingyi have both played the roles of a kind father and a strict mother. It is not certain whether Yang Zhengshan will break his legs, but Yu Qingyi is more likely to give him a severe lesson.

Thinking of Yu Qingyi's stern look, Yang Mingzhao felt discouraged.

"My mother won't really do anything cruel, will she?"

Seeing him like this, Wu Zheng couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"You know you're afraid!"

Yang Mingzhao was teased by him, and his ambition suddenly rose in his heart, "I am not afraid! Humph, I will be beaten if I want to!"

"Well, I'll wait for you to be beaten!" Wu Zheng held the sword, looking like he was waiting for a good show.

"So Uncle Wu is not leaving!" Yang Mingzhao said in surprise.

"I'm not leaving. Wait for my lady to send a message and I'll take you back!" Wu Zheng said.

Although Yang Mingzhao was still a little nervous, he was delighted that Wu Zheng was willing to stay, so he put his worries behind him.

After making a fuss for a while, Yang Mingzhao and his group settled down in the fortress.

Nothing happened that night, and Yang Mingzhao started to take action the next day.

"How many young and strong people have we trained?"

In the lobby of the mountain stronghold, Yang Mingzhao called everyone together to discuss matters.

Currently, he has two followers, four guards, seven young men from Xingyue Island, and six managers in the valley.

The six managers are Chen Buyu, Chen Bushen, Chen Jianghua, Li Sandao, Wang Zhaohua and Song Wenlong.

Chen Buyu and Chen Buren are cousins, and the other four are former military soldiers of the guard.

They all followed Chen Buyu's father to kill officials and rebel.

Deng Xing replied: "The first batch of 200 young and strong people have completed two months of basic training, and the second batch of 500 young and strong people have been training for more than a month!"

It was already mid-September, and more than three months had passed since Yang Mingzhao left Sanjian Valley.

"What are the results of the training?" Yang Mingzhao asked.

"Uh, very bad!" Deng Xing commented.

Chen Buyu looked at Deng Xing in astonishment, "Brother Deng, I think this is great. Brother Deng is very good at training soldiers. The brothers are now able to follow orders and have extraordinary power!"

Chen Buren and others nodded repeatedly, looking at Deng Xing with admiration.

In their eyes, Deng Xing was really amazing. In just a few months, he had trained hundreds of young and strong men into a decent group of people, much better than they were before.

They were soldiers before, and could not compare with the young and strong men trained by Deng Xing.

However, Deng Xing's face turned red, "Master, this is the worst soldier I have ever trained!"

Isn't he the worst soldier?

Even the two hundred young men who had trained for three months were very bad in his eyes. If they were in Chongshan Town, they would not be qualified to join the town's standard camp.

"Hehe, don't ask for too much. They are different from the soldiers you trained before!" Yang Mingzhao probably understood where the gap was.

"Brothers, you still have to continue training, but we have to reorganize first!"

"Five people form a group, two groups form a squad, three squads form a team, three teams form a sentry, and five sentries form a team leader."

"We now have 700 people, temporarily organized into seven sentries, divided into two captains!"

"Zhao Kai, Zhang Mo, the seven of you will each lead a sentry and be the sentry commander. Chen Bu Ren, Chen Jianghua, and the other five will be the adjutants of each sentry. Learn from Zhao Kai and the others. Zhao Kai and the others are also proficient in training soldiers and are familiar with some military tactics. You should learn more from them!"

Yang Mingzhao ordered.

Yang Mingzhao is not stupid, on the contrary he is very smart.

Although he is nominally the leader of Three Arrow Valley, in reality everything in Three Arrow Valley is controlled by Chen Buyu and others.

However, Chen Buyu and his men were born into a military family, and their abilities and knowledge were average.

Although Zhao Kai, Zhang Mo and the other seven had no experience in leading troops, they were all young people trained by Xingyue Island. They had received training from Xingyue Island, read various books, and had some knowledge of military tactics.

Maybe they can't even be considered as theoretical strategists, but at least they know more than Chen Buyu and others.

He had to take into account Chen Buren's feelings and consider everyone's abilities, while also keeping the power firmly in his own hands.

"As you command!" Zhao Kai and others bowed in response.

Chen Buren and others were a little slow to react. They stood up and accepted the order only after Zhao Kai and others had finished speaking.

"Deng Xing, Han Lin, you will be the captains. Deng Xing will lead four patrols, Han Lin will lead three patrols. We are still short of two deputy patrol chiefs. You should select suitable people to appoint. We can fill in the staffing when we have enough manpower!" Yang Mingzhao continued.

"Yes!" Deng Xing and Han Lin responded.

Yang Mingzhao added: "Ma Yan, you are the administrative officer. Select people in the valley who can write and calculate, and build our framework first."

Ma Yan is Yang Mingzhao's servant at all times, but don't underestimate him.

For followers trained by the Yang family, the ability to write and calculate is a basic skill, and Ma Yan and Lu Bo follow Yang Mingzhao and sometimes even play the role of housekeepers.

Their management capabilities are definitely far superior to Chen Buyu and others.
