Dividing the river and governing it separately is the best way to go.

Realizing this, Qiao Feng felt extremely complicated.

On the one hand, he has always regarded himself as a Song person for the past thirty years. For the sake of national affairs, he has repeatedly called on heroes and led the disciples of the Beggar Gang to the north to fight bloody battles. He can be said to be serving the country and the people, and his sincerity is evident!

Even if he knew now that he had Khitan blood, how could he change his mindset so easily?

He has long been an existence with the same temperament as Qiao Feng!

Therefore, they are very disgusted with the fact that the country is in turmoil and order is destroyed.

But on the other hand, it was difficult for him to completely reject and hate the rebels.

First of all, because of Mr. Fang, it is difficult for him to ignore the impact here.

How could Qiao Feng not be filled with gratitude and feel deeply moved when faced with such a great benefactor who saved his adoptive parents, his master, and even saved his own life?

The righteous army was under the banner of Mr. Fang, with Mr. Fang as its leader! Even though he hadn't confirmed the truth, he was unwilling to do anything that would harm the righteous army.

This is one of them.

Secondly, after seeing and hearing about the rebel army for half a day, and witnessing the various details of the rebel army, his impression of the rebel army inevitably changed.

(ps: Asking for custom orders, full orders, flowers, evaluations, monthly tickets, comments, and support~)

Chapter 470: Confucianism disrupts the law, and knights violate the ban with force!

Previously, in his imagination, he inevitably associated the rebel army with the righteous bandits and rebel armies he had seen in the past.

The most notable characteristic of these righteous thieves and rebel armies is that they plunder and sweep away everything like a swarm of locusts!

Poisoning the local area and causing unrest!

The riot in Jiangnan was unstoppable and affected most of the country in a short period of time. It was hard for him not to suspect that this was caused by the civil unrest.

Therefore, in Qiao Feng's eyes, the rebel army was likely composed of refugees, the impoverished, and ordinary people who had been swept up in it. How disciplined could such a large army be? It was highly likely that they would wreak havoc in the area, affecting even wider areas!

However......

After personally visiting the rebel army camp and seeing the soldiers there with his own eyes, he had to admit that the discipline here was beyond his imagination.

Everything has a sense of order in his eyes.

Would such an army really plunder the local area and harm the people as he imagined?

At this point, Qiao Feng couldn't help but feel unsure about his original judgment.

Then he hesitated and wavered.

but......

Ultimately, it is not easy to judge this matter solely based on appearance, but we must also look at the reality.

So, facing the leading soldier's repeated attempts to recruit him, Qiao Feng still bowed slightly and politely declined: "Qiao has important matters to attend to in Jiangnan. It's really inconvenient. After Qiao finishes his business, perhaps... I'll be able to be of use!"

"Well! All right! Brother Qiao, go ahead! But I have something to explain to you." The leading soldier felt regretful, but didn't say anything else. Although he was deeply impressed by Qiao Feng's mighty demeanor and superb martial arts, and hoped that he would join the rebel army, how could such a thing be forced? If others were unwilling, what could be done? So he said no more, but said:

"Brother Qiao looks like a wuxia warrior, perhaps he's been around in the past? That's nothing to worry about. But under the rule of our righteous army, all matters must be obeyed by the law, and you can't rely on your martial arts to commit violence! If you encounter any difficulties, you can seek help from the local righteous officers. In our righteous army, killing someone means paying with your life, and injuring someone means paying with your crime. It's a matter of course! This place is very different from other places!"

As the saying goes, Confucian scholars disrupt the law, and knights violate the ban with force!

It has always been common for martial artists to rely on their martial arts skills to do as they please and ignore the law.

It is perfectly normal to draw your sword and fight with each other if you have a disagreement!

These martial arts masters are people that the government may not be willing to care about or provoke in the past.

However......

The area south of the Yangtze River is now governed by the rebel army, but we cannot ignore this group that is disrupting social order.

In other words, the laws of the righteous army do not care who you are. Whether you are a commoner or a powerful person, you must abide by them. If you violate them, there will be corresponding punishments. The so-called masters of the martial arts world are of course no exception.

The leading soldier had witnessed many scenes of fighting in the martial arts world before, so he had a deep understanding of the chaos in this kind of group. Based on his good impression of Qiao Feng, he couldn't help but give a little reminder.

"......" Qiao Feng was slightly stunned, feeling very strange.

He was secretly worried about what harm the rebels would cause to the people, but he didn't know that the other side was also worried about what evil he would do?

I couldn't help but ask, "Hearing what you said, the law is strict under the rule of the rebel army. This is indeed true, but I wonder what will happen if your rebel army also commits a crime?"

No matter how great the harm caused by people in the martial arts world is, it is limited and only exists in a very small number of cases. They can completely ignore the law. Most martial artists with average martial arts skills, or even those with good martial arts skills, dare not ignore the laws of the court. They may be more daring than ordinary people, but they still need to be taken into consideration!

In comparison, once a large number of troops start to cause chaos, they will truly poison the place, cause serious impact on social order, and cause great harm!

This is something that no one in the martial arts world can compare to!

"Knowing the law and breaking it is an even greater crime! Besides, the military rules, discipline, and regulations of the rebel army are much stricter than ordinary laws. Anyone who dares to violate them will be severely punished! This is very serious!" The leading soldier said seriously, and then seemed to understand something: "Brother Qiao, do you regard our rebel army as the bandit army or rebel army of the past? You think so, but you greatly underestimate us. Even the imperial army is far less disciplined than our rebel army! There is no way they can be compared!"

Qiao Feng clearly sensed the change in the other party's attitude, clearly extremely displeased. He couldn't help but remain silent for a moment, his feelings becoming even more complicated. He bowed and apologized, "This is indeed my fault. However, in my life, Qiao has witnessed some arrogant and reckless generals who disregard military discipline, wantonly exploit the people, and wreak havoc on the region. This is why I have doubts."

"Some?" The leading soldier was very disdainful, shaking his head. "I'm afraid most of them are like this! What kind of military discipline do they have? Can you even call it military discipline? Even if they do have it, it's useless!"

As he spoke, his expression softened slightly. "Brother Qiao, I don't blame you for this. In the past, whether it was the government soldiers or the bandits, they were all bad people. If I hadn't joined the righteous army, I'm afraid I wouldn't have imagined that there would be such a benevolent and righteous army in the world! You just came to Jiangnan and don't understand, and you don't know much about our righteous army, so it's inevitable that you may have some misunderstandings. But it doesn't matter. What we righteous army do is clear! We fight for the people of the world! To save the world from great suffering and disaster!"

When Qiao Feng had previously heard the other party speak of saving the people of the world, he had inevitably felt that it was an exaggeration and too bold a statement. However, when he heard it again this time, he had a different feeling.

Seeing that person's expression was solemn and his attitude was serious, I couldn't help but feel secretly shocked.

Regardless of whether the rebel army truly had such a program and actions, seeing that even a small soldier in the army could express such deep conviction, even if it was false, even if they did not do it, how could they not be ten or a hundred times stronger than those officers and soldiers, or even the bandits?

Things to know...

Sometimes, a program or a call can have a huge impact!

It’s like when he was the leader of the Beggars’ Sect, his subordinates were all beggars and refugees, whose survival was precarious, so how could he talk about national justice?

But in front of him was the benevolent and righteous old leader Hong, in the middle was his master Wang Jiantong... who was full of heroic spirit, and in the back was him to take up the heavy responsibility. As a result, the gang had thousands of disciples, and it also inspired a large number of heroes to rise up and participate in the bloody battle to the north to fight against Liao, Jin and Western Xia, and contribute a little to the country.

This is the role of role models.

Qiao Feng knew the power of this.

If the rebel army takes this as its guiding principle and the soldiers under it firmly follow it, then even if there is failure, how bad can it be?

In other words, compared to the corruption, those lofty words, the so-called "save the people of the world!", even if they are not actually done, as long as they can be fulfilled even a little bit, it will be the welfare of the people!

(ps: Asking for custom orders, full orders, flowers, evaluations, monthly tickets, comments, and support~)

Chapter 471: Qiao Feng: How many people from the Beggars’ Sect joined the rebel army?

only......

Is this kind of thing really possible?

Qiao Feng found it hard to believe.

In the past, he would never have believed it!

But...what he had seen and heard since he came south, as well as the various details of the rebel army he saw here, made him feel expectant.

If such boasts were uttered by an army with poor discipline, they would naturally be completely unbelievable! However, such boasts from an army with strict discipline and strict order, while still suspected of exaggeration, could not help but make him believe them a little.

because......

If we can maintain such a high level of discipline and order in the army, how can we be sure that the other side cannot do what we say?

Their soldiers can strictly abide by military discipline and regulations, so why can't they treat the people well and benefit the people?

to be honest......

For a moment, Qiao Feng even had the idea of ​​joining them directly to experience and confirm firsthand what kind of army this rebel army was!

However, he pulled his thoughts back and suppressed the impulse.

His main purpose for coming here was not here, and...

Although you can see a lot of things by joining the rebel army, you will be relatively isolated from the outside world. Instead of doing this, why not go and see what the situation is like in the Jiangnan area under the governance of the rebel army?

This is even more intuitive!

Therefore, Qiao Feng still insisted on his own opinion and did not choose to join.

The leading soldier did not try to persuade him much, and took Qiao Feng through layers of inspections and defenses, and out of the military camp.

"Brother Qiao, I can only take you here. This area is where our rebel army's barracks are located. Don't go in there. Go back directly. You can go east to Jinling, which was formerly Jiangning Prefecture, a big city."

Qiao Feng's heart stirred upon hearing this, and he nodded slowly. He was about to bow and say goodbye when he suddenly saw a group of armored soldiers leading the previously surrendered bandits out of the camp. He couldn't help but wonder, pointing in that direction and asking, "Why are they doing this?"

"You mean that..." The soldier looked in the direction he pointed, understood, and explained, "These bandits will be carefully identified and brought to the nearby villages for public trial. Those guilty of major crimes will be executed, while those with minor offenses will be fined."

Qiao Feng was stunned for a moment. Hearing the term "public trial" again, he couldn't help but feel curious. He had never seen the rebels act this way before, so he asked, "I wonder if I could go and observe for a bit?"

"Of course, that's no problem." The soldier nodded slightly, but then said, "But I can't take you there myself. I have to go back to my mission. You can go on your own. Just bring your walking permit."

After saying this, he made a gesture that was clearly a military etiquette, then turned and left. But after a few steps, he paused and turned back to look at Qiao Feng: "Brother Qiao, I've thought about it carefully, and I think it's best to take you directly over to explain everything to the leader, so that you won't be discovered following behind and cause misunderstandings."

Qiao Feng had no objection to this and was grateful.

When they arrived in front of the team leader, the soldier stepped forward to report and whispered his purpose.

The leader of this group of a hundred people was a little older, perhaps around thirty years old. He heard the details and looked in the direction the soldiers pointed.

It was nothing serious, it was just bringing one more person.

However, upon seeing Qiao Feng, he was momentarily shocked: "Qiao... Qiao Gang Leader!?"

Qiao Feng was stunned. Ever since the secret of his life was revealed, there were very few people who would call him like that. When he heard it suddenly, he was a little dazed. He looked at the man carefully and frowned slightly.

I don't have any impression at all.

"Who are you......?"

The man's face was filled with surprise as he stepped forward quickly. "My name is Zhang Que! I'm a Beggar Gang disciple originally from the Daxin branch. I once had the good fortune to meet Gang Leader Qiao in the apricot forest. You may not recognize me, but I do recognize you!"

Qiao Feng was also moved when he heard this.

First, he suddenly heard that the person in front of him was a disciple of the Beggar Gang. Although he had some vague guesses, he was still very surprised.

Secondly, the incident at the apricot forest could be considered a major turning point in his life, and hearing about it again inevitably shocked him.

Finally, since he left the Beggars' Sect, he was actually not very willing to face his former members. Not only did he not know how to face them, but most of the people who used to be brothers had changed their attitude towards him.

Although many people remain the same, the situation is like this, how can it be the same as before?

Seeing someone from the Beggars' Sect at this time, and seeing that he clearly didn't seem to have much dislike for him, but instead spoke with a rather respectful attitude, he was somewhat surprised.

He cupped his fists slightly and said, "So you're brothers from the Daxin branch. It's rare to meet, but it's fate. However, I'm no longer the leader of the Beggars' Sect, so how can I be called that?"

"How can we not accept this? Gang Leader Qiao did so many heroic deeds in the past. All the brothers in the gang witnessed it and admired him immensely!"

Qiao Feng was reluctant to discuss this further and sighed, "You're too kind. But I'm not a member of the Beggars' Sect anymore. You should just call me by my name."

When Zhang Que heard this, he also felt that such a name was not appropriate.

It’s not that they think Qiao Feng is not worthy, but everyone is no longer a member of the Beggars’ Sect, and now they are in the army, so it’s better not to mention the old stories of the Beggars’ Sect.

The soldier was surprised to see that the two knew each other, and after hearing what they said, he felt that the man had a very important background.

Look, he is called the "gang leader".

but......

After being tempered in the rebel army, he had gained considerable experience and knowledge, and there were many extraordinary people among the new recruits, so he was not too surprised.

He just said goodbye and left.

Qiao Feng watched him leave, then turned slightly to look at Zhang Que. Seeing him dressed in military attire, armor and sword in hand, his expression rather subtle, he asked, "Brother Zhang, how did you end up in this rebel army? And how's the Daxin branch of the gang doing?"

In fact...what he wanted to ask more was, how many people in the Beggar Gang joined the rebel army?

The fact that this person could be seen in the apricot forest for 2 or 4 years meant that he was at least a leader in the gang. If such brothers in the gang had joined the rebels, what about the others? Is Brother Wang Qin still the current leader of the Daxin branch? What is his current situation?

In addition, he also wanted to inquire about the details of the rebel army.

Compared with other people, the words of the Beggar Gang brothers are undoubtedly more credible.

But upon hearing his words, Zhang Que sighed deeply and said something that shocked Qiao Feng:
