Chinese General Summoning System

Chapter 25 The will of the Jin Dynasty

Liu Ji didn’t expect that in this market town on the border of Yongzhou and Wanzhou, he would meet Chen Baocai, a housekeeper from his mother’s family who had a relationship with him.

Then Liu Ji learned from the housekeeper Chen Baocai that Chen Qi, the prostitute of the current owner of the Chen family, Chen Qi, had become a school lieutenant in Qixian. At this time, the young and strong men among the victims in the market town were all of Chen Qi’s sect. A recruit recruited by the housekeeper Chen Baocai in Wanzhou.

And Chen Qi is actually Liu Ji’s uncle, but Liu Ji’s mother, Chen Min, and Chen Qi are half-siblings, and Liu Ji’s other uncle, Chen Yan, is born to the same mother as Liu Ji’s mother, Chen Min.

Chen Yan and Chen Min’s mother, Liu Ji’s grandmother, was only a concubine of the current head of the Chen family, Chen Na, and had been dead for many years. At the time of his death, Chen Min had not married Liu Hao.

Although the current head of the Chen family, Chen Na, is Liu Ji’s grandfather, Liu Ji has never seen this grandpa in his memory. Even his uncle Chen Yan, Liu Ji only met once when he was a child, and that time was with Liu Ji’s mother, Chen. At Min’s funeral, Liu Ji, the uncle of Chen Qi, also hadn’t seen him either.

Liu Ji heard from his father, Liu Hao, that his mother was just an insignificant concubine in the Chen family. Otherwise, she would be regarded as a powerful local Chen family. It would be impossible to marry her daughter to Liu for a valuable betrothal gift. Small landlords like Hao, women from powerful families are generally married to other powerful or aristocratic families.

Liu Ji’s family fled to Qixian County, Changping County, Yongzhou to join in marriage. They mainly rushed to Liu Ji’s uncle Chen Yan. Even though Chen Yan was also a concubine, Chen Wei, the head of the Chen family, treated Chen Yan’s son well, after all. Although Chen Wei has a group of wives and concubines, there are only two sons and a dozen daughters. Today, half of the Chen family’s shops in Qixian are in charge of Chen Yan, and the other half is in charge of Chen Qi. Chen Qi is responsible for Chen Qi’s heir to the Chen family’s thousands of acres of land is now under the management of Chen Qi.

Originally, Chen Qi did not join the army, because the Da Jin court saw that the banditry was getting more and more serious in various places, but the imperial army did not make any progress in the suppression of the bandit. The prefects, prefects, and county magistrates set up local armies belonging to states, counties, and counties to eliminate banditry in various regions. As for the military expenditures of local armies, part of the local taxes can be withheld.

You must know that the local officials of the Da Jin Dynasty before, that is, the prefectures, prefects, and county magistrates in various places, did not have any military power. Now that the decree of the Da Jin court is promulgated, it is equivalent to allowing these local officials in various places to have a large number of troops. Some ambitious people have emerged at this time, especially the large and small families of the Great Jin Dynasty, and almost all the magistrates of the entire Great Jin Dynasty were held by people from family backgrounds.

Almost all aristocratic families can see that the Great Jin Dynasty is obviously sunset. At this time, they have started some plans of their own. This will of the Da Jin court is equivalent to allowing the aristocratic family to control more troops, which can be used in the coming troubled times. Among them, seeking more benefits for their own family, and even powerful families, have already cherished the desire to replace the imperial family of the Great Jin Dynasty.

The Chen family can only be regarded as a powerful family in Qixian. There are more than a dozen powerful families like the Chen family in Qixian. The family of Qixian magistrate Wang Ji is the largest family in Qixian, almost half of the farmland in Qixian. All belonged to the Wang family, and the Wang family no longer belonged to the ranks of powerful people, but belonged to the family.

In addition to the difference between influence and strength, the most significant difference between a powerful family and an aristocratic family is that there are many officials in the aristocratic family, and there are officials from generation to generation.

After the decree of the Da Jin court was promulgated, Qixian magistrate Wang Ji also began to recruit troops throughout the county. At this time, Chen Qi took the initiative to join Wang Ji’s command, saying that the Chen family was willing to contribute money to help Wang Ji recruit troops. Chen Qi This was done so that the Chen family could gain some military power in the troubled times, and also to hide under the big tree of the Wang family.

Wang Ji also appointed Chen Qi as Qixian Lieutenant and asked Chen Qi to recruit and raise troops by himself. Of course, Chen Qi’s troops must obey Wang Ji’s dispatch. For Lieutenants like Chen Qi, Wang Ji has already been appointed in Qixian County. More than a dozen, except for a few members of the Wang family, the other school lieutenants are all from various powerful families in Qi County.

Now the entire Qixian powerful family is recruiting people. Chen Qi finally gathered more than 180 people from the Chen family’s collateral, family members, and tenants. After that, he couldn’t recruit any more people in Qixian. Most of the young and strong men who fled to Qixian County were forced to conscript by the Wang family and joined the private army belonging to the Wang family.

The school lieutenant can control one army, which is 1,000 people, but Chen Qi did not even collect one-fifth. In the end, Chen Qi’s half-brother, Chen Yan, made the idea to recruit some young men in the famine-stricken Wanzhou. A strong man, so he had the housekeeper Chen Baocai’s trip to Wanzhou.

Chen Baocai heard that Liu Ji and his father Liu Hao were separated because of the gangsters, and said with comfort: “Master Biao, Master Liu has his own vision. I believe Master Liu will be able to go to Qixian and meet Master Biao! Master Biao, Tomorrow you will go back to Qixian with our team. With me, Chen Baocai, you will definitely not let Master Biao make any mistakes.”

Hua Xiong, who had been standing behind Liu Ji, couldn’t help curling his lips when he heard Chen Baocai’s words and snorted softly.

Liu Ji smiled and said, “Uncle Chen, then I will trouble you! By the way, Uncle Chen, why are you looking for me?”

“When I saw Master Biao, I was so happy. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com I forgot to come to buy food! Master Biao, this time I brought 20 Chen family members, and a total of 606 were recruited in Wanzhou. Among the victims, 442 were young and strong males, and the rest were family members of some males.”

After a pause, Chen Baocai sighed and said, “But we have too many people, and the food we brought from home is not enough for these 600 people. Now there is no food. I heard from the victims that there is a team in this yard. We can’t come here to buy some food. As long as we can survive tonight, we can go to the nearby county to buy food tomorrow morning. I didn’t expect this team to belong to Master Watch!”

Liu Ji smiled and nodded and said, “Uncle Chen, don’t worry, they are all a family. I still have some food here. You can let someone come over and move it!”

Chen Baocai nodded and said, “Master Biao, I will not be polite to you. The young and strong men among these victims are too important to our Chen family. This is the basis for our Chen family to continue to survive in Qixian County. If you eat food, what happened to the victims is troublesome!”

Immediately, Chen Baocai looked at Hua Xiong behind Liu Ji, and Chen Hao, Le Yi and Gong Du in the courtyard, and thought of You Tong and Liu Pi outside the door, frowning and asking Liu Ji: “Master Biao, how many are you around? Who is a strong man?”

Although Chen Baocai’s martial arts skills are sparse and ordinary, he still has some eyesight. The people around Liu Ji are not ordinary people. Some clues can be seen only from the delicate iron armor worn by a few people.

You must know that even for the entire Chen family, there are only 19 iron armors, and the quality is not as good as the iron armors worn by those around Liu Ji.

“Uncle Chen, these are my Liu family’s generals, they are all put into my command by chance!”
