Chapter 7 The first edge
This is a saying that seems casual, but can immediately distinguish the authenticity.
Of course, Zou Pusheng was just a temptation, because only Chen Li knew what he did that day.
Chen Li pretended to think for a while, sighed and said, "I only remember the things that happened during this period, and I can't remember the things that happened before."
Zou Pusheng frowned.
It seems that although the second prince has been enlightened, he can forget all the previous things, which is a bit difficult to deal with. But in a blink of an eye, what does it matter? In the past, he was confused about other things except for a few people around him, and what's the use of knowing even if he knows it?
After thinking about this, he felt relieved. As long as the bloodline is not wrong, let him go.
If this kid really opened his eyes, he would be amazing in the future. He would definitely achieve something great, maybe he would be much better than his father.
After understanding the connection, Zou Pusheng stepped forward and knelt halfway, performed a grand etiquette, and said solemnly: "My minister Zou Pusheng pays homage to the second prince."
Seeing Zou Pusheng doing this, the others dared not neglect. They all fell to their knees and saluted Chen Li again.
When Chen Li first saw this, he felt very uncomfortable. Should he return to the shackles of feudal etiquette? Forget it, let's follow the local customs.
Didn’t Mr. Sun Yat-sen say that the world’s major events are vast and magnificent. Those who follow it will prosper, and those who go against it will perish. If he does not accept this kind of etiquette, how can he get along with these people in the future?
After thinking through this, he stretched out his left hand behind his right hand, made a gesture of holding hands, and said, "Taoshi, please come up, Chun'er will make tea for you all."
Zou Pusheng looked at the weapons, wooden sticks, stone locks and high jumping equipment placed in the middle of the venue, and secretly praised in his heart that the second prince was not only enlightened, but also had talent in martial arts practice. This is a strange thing for a hundred years.
When Chen Li saw Zou Pusheng's expression, he knew that he was still not at ease, so he said to Zou Pusheng: "The Grand Master was also a man on the battlefield in his early years. I believe he had never forgotten the art of dancing guns and playing sticks."
Zou Pusheng smiled and said, "How can it be? He was still on the battlefield with the soldiers a few years ago. I can't forget it even if I want to."
Chen Li said: "Why might the master play tricks on his swords and guns so that his nephew can see your majesty."
When Zou Pusheng heard Chen Li claiming to be his nephew, he felt warm in his heart. He suddenly felt that this young man had become completely different. It was so humble and polite.
He was happy, so he took off his robe, picked up a spear, stabbed the left and right, flew up and down, and made a spear powerful. Suddenly, he ran with his spear, ran three feet away, and turned around like lightning and stabbed it out.
This hand was as fast as lightning, and its momentum was fierce, which was really unexpected.
Chen Li couldn't help but applaud.
He secretly praised in his heart that Zou Pusheng had real skills to survive from years of battles. If not, maybe the grass on the grave would have been green long ago and he could still sit in the position of Taishi now?
Zou Pusheng inserted his spear to the ground, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with a smile: "No, if you haven't been in battle for a long time, your body will be hard."
Chen Li said: "When will the Grand Master teach his nephew this trick so that he can show his face on the battlefield?"
Zou Pusheng said: "Okay, as long as the second prince is willing to learn, I will teach you all."
Chen Li suddenly became interested and said, "Why would the Grand Master teach me now?"
Zou Pusheng was originally anxious and kept thinking about how to deal with this difficult thing, but seeing Chen Li suddenly become such a person, he changed his mind.
First, I put this huge thing in my heart. Anyway, the matter is irreversible. Let’s explore Chen Li’s background before making plans.
Even if he encounters a big deal, his thinking has always been clear and orderly. Since he intends to make Chen Li the king, he must at least understand some of his ideas. After all, Chen Li is almost not the same as Chen Li in the past.
Zou Pusheng held a gun in his hand and slowly practiced it and explained to Chen Li.
Chen Li thought for a while and couldn't help laughing.
It turned out that it was not as difficult as I thought. In fact, it was just how to control the rapidly moving body to stop instantly, and then quickly twist and stab it out.
It is indeed difficult for others, because it is almost impossible to suddenly fix the fast running body, but it is not difficult for him, because his previous training also had similar methods of exerting force.
Chen Li took the spear handed over by Zou Pusheng, calmed down, and suddenly ran quickly.
His speed simply shocked Zou Pusheng, because Chen Li reached three feet away in the blink of an eye, just like he had reached that place with his body moving.
Chen Li ran three feet away, as if he had not turned around at all, but was facing the back, and stabbed out with a "sneer!" shot.
That momentum and speed made Zou Pusheng stunned.
Zou Pusheng looked at Chen Li and walked over with a smile and sighed: "Genius, the second prince is a genius who uses guns! Just by your 'Dragon Head' shooter technique, the 'Tiger-headed Zhan Jin Spear' of Zhu Yuanzhang's subordinate Chang Yuchun may not be able to surpass you."
When Chen Li heard Zou Pusheng say this, he immediately became confident. Even if he could impress Zou Pusheng, he would not have to worry about the fierce men under Zhu Yuanzhang.
Chen Li looked at Zou Pusheng's sudden gloomy face and said, "What's wrong with the Grand Master?"
Zou Pusheng grabbed Chen Li's hand and said, "The Second Prince quickly got to me and I have something important to tell you."
He took a few steps and turned around to the people following behind him, "Stand and don't move. Without the orders of the second prince, no one is allowed to come in one step."
Chen Li looked at Zou Pusheng's gloomy face and suddenly remembered the days when Chen Youliang was defeated. It was bad, and he was only happy and forgot about the disaster that was about to come.
The two entered the inner room, and Zou Pusheng handed the expedited military report to Chen Li, and he quietly observed Chen Li's reaction.
Chen Li had already thought of the content in the military newspaper, so he opened it calmly and pretended to read it. It was indeed the news that Chen Youliang was defeated and died.
Zou Pusheng looked at Chen Li's calm expression and couldn't help but nod.
The second prince in front of me is indeed not simple. It is so rare that he can be so calm that he can't move like a mountain in front of him but his eyes are not instantly stable. If he encounters this situation, how can he be so relaxed?
After reading the letter, Chen Li said in a steady tone: "The King of Han was defeated and died, and his eldest brother was captured. This news will inevitably make everyone confused. Next, everyone will find a way out for themselves. This is really deadly news."
Zou Pusheng's heart was shocked.
The person in front of me was simply unfathomable. Not only did he not feel sad and flustered about the bad news, but he immediately thought of the problem that he was about to deal with. Is this second prince really the person sent by God to turn the tide?
When Chen Li saw Zou Pusheng just looked at him strangely, he thought to himself, this old cannon is really not simple, he can always see what others think.
He smiled slightly and said, "Since the King of Han has returned to heaven, does the Grand Master have any good plans to teach his nephew to overcome the difficulties?"
Zou Pusheng sighed: "The second prince is as envious as the sea, but I am not as good as the one. To be honest, I have no idea. It depends on the second prince to decide. I must obey the order and never hesitate for a moment."
Chen Li said: "The Grand Tutor is too humble, his nephew is dull in qualifications, and he knows nothing about the government, military affairs and people's hearts. He also hopes that the Grand Tutor will take charge of the overall situation."
He is not humble. After all, he is a newcomer and cannot find the stove, and even people cannot recognize it. Experience is the most important thing in how to arrange and appease the people's hearts.
Zou Pusheng said: "Since the second prince said that, I will just talk about my thoughts. As for whether I can make the point, please don't be surprised."
Chen Li smiled and said, "Prince, please speak, don't worry."
Zou Pusheng said: "In the opinion of the minister, it is urgent to prevent the news from being revealed. Then recruit all men who can fight, and at the same time mobilize all military troops in Jiangzhou City and surrounding areas to organize the army. The second prince must firmly grasp the military power."
"Next, military pay, food, grass and various military supplies will be allocated. Before the news of the King of Han was defeated and died, the people will be comforted, and waiting for General Zhang to return to the army."
Chen Li nodded, it was indeed the only way to go.
He thought for a while and said, "Now he is most afraid of the generals from all over the country. Seeing that the King of Han was defeated and died, he had a strange intention. The so-called birds fly without a head, and people leave without a head. If they lack the backbone, it would be difficult for everyone to serve."
Zou Pusheng's eyes lit up and he thought to himself, it seems that not only I have ideas, but the second prince also has this ambition, so it's easy to deal with.
It was just that he was ordered in the face of danger. This most prominent position was not easy to do at this time, and it was even a shield for everyone. He was really wronged.
He knelt down and said sincerely: "The King of Han died and the eldest prince was captured. The second prince could only sit in a grievance and lead all the soldiers and people through the disaster."
Chen Li understood that no matter how history records it, since he came to this world and borrowed this special skin, even if he had many difficulties, he had the obligation to carry this burden.
Chen Li sighed and said, "Of course, the will of the King of Han must be inherited by the son, but I have a requirement."
