Chapter 441: Do not forget the original intention
A crescent moon hung high above Baoqing Port, projecting the figures of soldiers on duty above the high whistle tower onto the ground, pulling very long, and the shadows walking back and forth from time to time were hazy on the flat stone floor on the dock. Occasionally, a group of soldiers could be heard lined up by patrol. In addition, the sound of waves hitting the dock. In the breeze, waves of surges hit the dike, jumping up, and falling back.
The port area is extremely quiet. There are two different troops stationed here. Not long ago, they were still hostile to each other. In order to avoid unnecessary friction, the commanders of both sides constrained their troops in the military camp, preventing them from stepping out of the camp. Under strict discipline, the military camp could not hear any noise. The lights had long been gone.
Correspondingly, the civilian area outside was brightly lit and crowded with people coming and going. For them, the best news was that the war was over and they would usher in a rare peace.
For them, this is indeed the best news. It is better to be a peaceful dog than a troubled person, and have a safe and stable meal. On such a night, you can go out to drink some wine, listen to the songs, and return home, with a warm bed and a family waiting. This is the best life.
On the dock, two people sat side by side, their long legs drooped down the embankment, and they blew the hard stone embankment one after another. The military spikes on the military boots hit the stone surface, making a crisp sound.
"Kimmers, what do you think after today's military discussion?" Qin Feng stared at the huge sea ships floating not far away, and the military flags on them were also replaced by the Taiping Army's flag.
"Cheng Wuben is worthy of being a veteran. His grasp of the overall situation and his observance of people's hearts are amazing." The kitten thought for a while and said in a real way. "The plan he proposed was huge and complex beyond my imagination. But I have to admit that once we receive the merits, our Taiping Army will soar into the sky."
Qin Feng nodded with a smile: "You understand why I have to try my best to bring this Chengwuben into the group? In order to achieve this goal, I even secretly tried my best to make Xier join the ranks of urging Chengwuben inadvertently."
The kitten said: "Boss, if you think about it more, you will definitely come up with such a plan."
Qin Feng shook his head, "You have confidence in me, but I have to admit that I can't think of his plan. This is the old guys' experience. They have handled more, watched more, and stood higher. People like us are young and have no experience. So what about experience? My idea has always been to follow the steps, but as Cheng Wuben said, after taking Zhengyang County, Luo Yishui was in power or the Qin people succeeded, we can only end up with one side. It's amazing that they are just a powerful local."
"This time we took too much steps, so our troops were a little short of strength." The kitten frowned.
"Even if it is bad, it is not much different. Cheng Wuben's plan was not originally a victory with a large number of people." Qin Feng smiled and said, "The iron wall of Chu, which commands a 200,000 army, is indeed well-known. I really want to thank Min Ruoying for sending him to Baoqing and to my hands!"
"But there is still only Min Ruoying in his heart." The kitten's voice was slightly hissed.
"No, you are wrong. He only has Chu State in his heart." Qin Feng said lightly. "It's just because Min Ruoying was sitting in that position. He was thinking about the interests of Chu State, but he had to do his best to give us advice. It was also an extremely interesting and exciting thing."
"How to end in the future?"
"When we stand on the same site as Min Ruoying, let's talk about how to solve this problem. Now, I think too early." Qin Feng said. "Kitten, are you feeling uncomfortable?"
"A little bit!" the kitten nodded. "Boss, I hate Min Ruoying, I hate the Chu army, I even hate the Chu people."
Qin Feng put his hand on the kitten's shoulder and hugged him tightly: "But, you are also a Chu person."
"No, I'm a Taiping person." The kitten said hard.
"I remember Hong'er and your unborn child again?" Qin Feng's voice also became quiet.
The kitten lowered his head and covered his face with both hands. He tried his best to resist the tears. The strong suppression made his shoulders thrust violently, and a mute sound came from his throat.
I don't know what words to comfort him, Qin Feng could only hold his shoulder tightly.
The brothers of the past were still by his side, only kittens and wild dogs, the monk disappeared, and the leopards had died on the battlefield, and it would be better not to mention scissors.
"After three years, I don't know how deep the weeds on their graves are. No one burns some paper threads and candles for them on their death anniversary and festivals, and no one will give them some delicious food. Boss, do you know, Hong'er's favorite thing to eat is the sweet noodle duck in the roast duck restaurant in the west of Anyang City. After I got here, I found many houses, but I could no longer find the taste of that house." The kitten put down his hand, raised his head, and his eyes were red.
"There is a smell of home and a taste of relatives, so it is naturally different." Qin Feng said sadly, "not only Hong'er, but also more than a thousand brothers from the Death Camp."
"When will we get back?" asked the kitten.
"I don't know." Qin Feng shook his head: "Maybe ten years, maybe longer. But one day, we will go back. We will sacrifice the scenery of Hong'er and the brothers on Maoer Mountain, telling them that we are back and we avenge them. They can smile and rest in the dark. But to achieve this goal, we need to keep struggling and working hard to defeat all the enemies in front of us."
The kitten nodded firmly, "I understand."
"Kitten, in the process of achieving this goal, we need to use all the power we can use. This may make you uncomfortable, but it is a path we have to take."
"I just hope that the boss will never forget his original intention in this process." The kitten looked at Qin Feng with bright eyes.
"Don't forget your original intention, of course, how can I forget it?" Qin Feng raised his head, looked at the bright moon in the sky, and took a deep breath. He understood the worry of the kitten. He married Princess Zhaohua Min Ruoxi, had a pair of lovely children, and now he included Cheng Wuben, Jiang Tao and others under his command. This, or what Kitten didn't want to see in his heart, he believed that there was only hatred between the Taiping Army and the Chu people, and there was no other involvement.
If it is simply avenge, it is indeed easy to say, but what Qin Feng has to do is a larger goal. In order to achieve this goal and to have a more thorough revenge, things are much more complicated. Dealing with the Chu people, or even the Chu court, will be inevitable.
"Go back, you have never been a guy who will worry me. You can adjust everything yourself. Next, we have many tough battles to fight and many things to do, but I'm afraid we'll be busy all of them." Qin Feng stood up and dragged the kitten up.
"I'm so busy. I can forget a lot of things. I can get busy, so I can get closer and closer to my goal. What I fear most now is that suddenly there is nothing to do." said the kitten.
Above the tall tower, three people were staring at the two backs that were leaving side by side. They were Cheng Wuben, Jiang Tao and Jiang Shangyan.
"Guess what Qin Feng and Zhang Xiao are talking about?" Cheng Wuben asked with a smile.
"No need to guess this, I must be persuading Zhang Xiao to cooperate with us in the next days. He is the number one general under Qin Feng. If he is unwilling to do so, there will be big problems." Jiang Tao said. "Qin Feng is a smart person, of course he will see this."
"Are you unwilling to do it?" Cheng Wuben asked.
Jiang Tao smiled but didn't say anything. Jiang Shangyan raised his courage and said, "Yes, Shuai Cheng, these people are all criminals of our Great Chu. I feel really uncomfortable when I want to cooperate with them."
Cheng Wuben nodded, looked at the other party, and slowly said: "Some things in the past were impossible to know because you were not in the position. In fact, in terms of your current position, you still can't reach the level of knowing these secrets. However, the situation is special now, and you can also know some things."
Jiang Shangyan was slightly shocked, but she didn't dare to talk to each other.
"The destruction of the western border army had nothing to do with Qin Feng. The rebellious alliance of the Death Camp was even more unfounded. These actions were all scapegoats to conceal the crimes committed by an extremely important person." Cheng Wuben smiled bitterly: "But no one expected that what happened later would be like this. If it weren't for these things, Qin Feng would still be the loyal general of my Great Chu Dynasty, how great would it be!"
"Sealing... scapegoat?" Jiang Shangyan stared at Cheng Wuben with wide eyes and stuttered. "Who are they used as scapegoat?"
Before Cheng Wuben could speak, Jiang Tao was already ahead: "It's okay to tell you, this person is the dead former prince Min Ruocheng."
Jiang Shangyan was stunned.
