Anti-Qing: Starting from the Reincarnation of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 39 This is a conspiracy
It can only be said that what Zhu Jing'an said is right. This so-called militia coalition is essentially just a group of rabble.

Their biggest problem is that their hearts are not aligned!
Once one's own fundamental interests are threatened, the so-called coalition forces will just disperse in a hurry.

Listening to everyone's speech, the expression on Li Hongfa's face became quite solemn.

speak up.

"Fellow clan leaders, I, Li Hongfa, have something I don't know whether to say or not."

As soon as Li Hong said this, everyone around him became very quiet and looked at each other, as if they wanted to see what he said.

Li Hongfa looked around and spoke in a very firm tone.

"As far as I'm concerned, our coalition forces must not disperse."

"The reason why the thieves raided Daliushu Village is because the thieves know that once we all come together to form a coalition and unite, it will be a force they cannot match."

"That's why they want to make us disperse and return to our own villages by raiding Daliushu Village, so that the bandit army can defeat us one by one."

"If we really disband the coalition and disperse, we will be playing into the hands of the traitors!"

"At that time, the situation we will face is a dangerous situation where we will be defeated by the thieves one by one."

"Is this what the clan leaders want to see?"

After Li Hongfa saw the reactions of various villages after receiving the attack on Daliushu Village, he realized the purpose of the Ming army's raid on Daliushu Village.

It is nothing more than trying to force the coalition to disband by threatening the safety of each village.

Now that he is aware of the Ming Army's conspiracy, he will naturally not let the Ming Army get what they want!

But is his blocking effective?

The answer is obvious.

Useless!

Because what Zhu Jing'an used this time was not a conspiracy at all, but a naked conspiracy.

What he wanted to do was not hidden at all, it was laid out openly in front of everyone.

Everyone can realize that Zhu Jing'an made it clear that he wanted to force the so-called coalition forces to disband by attacking various villages, and then the Ming army would defeat them one by one.

However, even if everyone realizes this, there is nothing they can do to change the final result.

Because human nature is selfish, few people will disregard their own interests for the benefit of the collective.

For example, the clan leaders of the villages in Jintian Town cannot do anything to fight against the thieves for the coalition forces, but sit back and watch their villages being attacked and looted by the thieves.

Since they knew that the village would face an attack by the bandit army at any time, everyone's first choice was to return to the village immediately to aid the village instead of maintaining the coalition forces.

Even if the clan leaders above are sensible and determined, they are willing to bear the risk of the village being invaded by the bandits for the sake of the coalition forces to defeat the thieves.

Even the lower-level soldiers of the militia would not agree.

Because their families, wealth and lives are in the village. In their eyes, protecting the village is always the first priority.

As for begging for thieves...

Isn't that a matter of the imperial court?Why should ordinary people like them risk their families falling into the hands of thieves and their property and lives being destroyed to fight against the thieves?

If the clan leaders really force the lower-level soldiers to do this, their positions will be unstable.

This is the terrible thing about conspiracy!
Conspiracies and calculations are based on information gaps, which may lead to overturning.

As for conspiracy, what is calculated is human nature.

And human nature is the most incomprehensible thing in the world.

Many times, you know that there is a pit ahead, but you can only bite the bullet and keep jumping in.

As soon as Li Hongfa finished speaking, the head of the Tian family stood up and said.

"Clan Chief Li, I'm sorry. I can't sit back and watch the village face the threat of the bandit army. I will lead my people to stay in Lijia'ao to maintain the so-called coalition." "Although I care about the industry in Bauhinia Mountain, the safety of the village is the most important thing. First.”

After saying this, he left his seat and strode outside.

The departure of the Tian family leader seemed to be the beginning, and someone else stood up and said something later.

"Clan Leader Li, now that the coalition forces have gathered in Lijia'ao, you naturally don't have to worry about the bandit army coming to kill you. Even if the bandit army comes to attack Lijia'ao, there will be coalition forces to protect you."

"But our village is very empty now. If the bandit army comes, the consequences will be disastrous."

"I'm going to say goodbye now!"

Li Hongfa's expression was gloomy and frightening, but he could not stop it. He could only watch the representatives from each village leave one after another.

After a while, only Li Hongfa and Liu Yuanxiang were left in the empty lobby.

The reason why Liu Yuanxiang didn't leave was because Daliushu Village had been captured by the bandit army, and he really had nowhere to go.

The two looked at each other, and Li Hongfa asked tentatively.

"Clan Leader Liu, do you still want to help Xiaoqing gain enlightenment tonight?"

Liu Yuanxiang: "..."

No, it's been so long, I'm not going to mention it anymore, why are you still thinking about that little thing in your crotch?

Can you pursue it a little bit!

Liu Yuanxiang waved his hands helplessly and said.

"That's all, that's all. Now that the coalition forces are falling apart, the bandits are pressing forward step by step, and the situation is critical. I really have no interest in it anymore."

Li Hongfa couldn't help but sigh.

……

Although the clan heads and elders of each village left the banquet hall, they were considered to have fallen out with Li Hongfa.

But it was now dark, and it was impossible to march in the dark.

Therefore, the militia groups from each village were still stationed outside Lijia'ao. They were only preparing for their departure and did not leave immediately.

It wasn't until daybreak on the second day that someone immediately set off towards their village.

The head of the Tian family led a pony and marched with the army, his face full of sorrow.

As the Tujia clan second only to the Li family in Jintian Town, the Tian family has a militia team of 200 people, and these 200 people are all young and strong men.

The huge team of 200 people marched on the winding mountain road, but it looked like a lot of people.

Without any urging from the Tian family leader, the Tian family militia marched at a speed much faster than usual.

The reason why the militia is like this is because everyone in the militia knows that their village may be attacked by bandits at any time.

In order to return to the village as soon as possible and return to their families to protect the safety of the village and their families, the militia groups would spontaneously march as fast as possible without being urged.

Normally, the militiamen would have to stop and rest every three to five miles.

When it was time for dinner, he would not move until he was full.

But today, the vigilante group did not rest at all along the way.

They walked for more than ten miles in a row, and no one complained about being tired during the whole journey. Even when they were marching hungry, they had no complaints at all.

Just to be able to return to the village as soon as possible.

The head of the Tian family looked up at the sky and said.

"It's getting late, it's almost noon. Let's order the army to stop repairing and bury the pots to make rice!"
