Rebirth of The Deer and the Cauldron, Wei Xiaobao Becomes a God

"Very good, you are sensible. However, you must sign this document." Liu Fuyin said, taking out a piece of paper from his arms and placing it in front of Zhou Asan.

Zhou Asan took a closer look and saw that it was a "Statement of Rebellion". It clearly stated: I, Zhou Asan, solemnly declare that from now on, I will draw a clear line with the rebels and will no longer be involved in corruption. I will do my utmost to assist the court in suppressing the rebellion, volunteer to be an undercover agent, and report all the situations of the rebels to the court. I hereby declare!

Liu Fuyin looked at Zhou Asan with a smug look on his face. He continued, "Sign this "Rebellion Statement" and you can go home. However, if you sign it but do not work for the court, the consequences will be disastrous! At that time, this statement will appear in the documents of the rebel leader, making you infamous. Not only that, your parents, wife and children will also be implicated because of your behavior, and they may even lose their lives."

Hearing this, Zhou Asan was shocked, and the hope he had just had disappeared without a trace. He knew that if he really did what Liu Fuyin said, his family would be in dire straits.

For people of this era, filial piety and the desire for their children to succeed are deeply rooted in everyone's heart. The safety of their loved ones is more important than anything else. As for their own lives, they are not so precious. Zhou Asan's biggest weakness is his family. Liu Fuyin obviously knows this, so he threatens him in this way.

"The girl Xiaoqian you redeemed today will be temporarily placed in my house. As long as you can successfully complete the first task, I promise that she will return to you unharmed." After Liu Fuyin said this, his eyes fixed on Zhou Asan.

Zhou Asan naturally understood what he meant. If he failed to complete the task, Miss Xiaoqian might not be able to be saved. Faced with such a threat, Zhou Asan felt extremely painful, but he had no choice. He could only nod silently to indicate that he accepted Liu Fuyin's conditions.

"What is the first task?" Zhou Asan asked with a puzzled look.

"Hand over a musket used by the rebels!" Yin Liu replied firmly.

"Is it that simple?" Zhou Asan was secretly delighted, because he knew very well the power of this new type of fire gun, and he happened to have such a weapon in his hand. However, he also knew that this fire gun could not be taken out of the camp, but for Zhou Asan, who used to resell military supplies, this was not a difficult task.

"You go back tomorrow morning, or the day after tomorrow at the latest. I want to see this musket!" said Liu Fuyin seriously.

"Okay, I promise you!" Zhou Asan agreed without hesitation.

Afterwards, Zhou Asan was untied, and he took a pen and paper and signed his name on the "Declaration of Counter-Revolution". Then, he returned to Xiaoqian's room.

At this time, Xiaoqian was tied up in the bed and shivering, her face full of fear. Zhou Laosan quickly comforted her: "Don't be afraid, you just encountered a few bandits, and I have already dealt with them." After a lot of explanation and comfort, Xiaoqian's mood gradually calmed down.

The next morning, the sun shone through the clouds onto the earth, illuminating the entire Jinxia military camp.

Zhou Asan returned to the Jinxia camp. His camp was the left army Yi camp of the Changfu camp, which had three thousand commanders under it. The commander of the Changfu camp was the deputy general of the Han camp. In the past few days, this deputy general, together with the deputy general of the Luoyuan camp, under the chairmanship of the naval commander Mao Shiba, discussed with the captains, brigade commanders, and regiment commanders of the Eastern Fleet about the division of troops from the Han camp.

At dawn, the sentry at the camp gate saw Zhou Asan returning to the camp and immediately reported the matter to the deputy general. Soon, Zhou Asan was summoned to the deputy general's tent.

After entering the tent, Zhou Asan saluted respectfully to the deputy general and reported: "General Zhou Asan pays homage to the deputy general!"

The deputy general smiled at Zhou Asan and asked with concern, "Captain Zhou, have you dealt with all your family affairs?"

Zhou Asan replied gratefully: "Thank you for your concern, Deputy General. I will invite the second wife over tomorrow and all matters will be settled."

The deputy general nodded and said encouragingly, "Well, hurry up and take care of the family affairs as soon as possible. We still have important tasks to be carried out."

Then he picked up a document from the desk and said, "According to the Navy Commander's request, all of our Changfu Battalion's more than 16,000 brothers will stay in Jinxia, ​​and the Fuqing Battalion will go to the Ryukyu Kingdom. The Changfu Battalion will be randomly assigned to the Marine Brigade and the Coastal Defense Brigade. The Marine Brigade will give priority to selecting soldiers. You will be assigned to the Coastal Defense Brigade as the commander of the Third Regiment. The Third Regiment is a security regiment, responsible for the docks, checkpoints, beacon towers, and the security patrols on Jinxia Island. Do you have confidence?"

Zhou Asan was delighted when he heard this. Isn't this like sending a pillow when you are sleepy? The guards are guarding the gate. Isn't this more convenient for me to go in and out? He said quickly: "No problem, I will make sure that Jinxia Island is as solid as a rock, and not even a fly can fly in."

"Okay, do your best. Our brothers in the Han Camp cannot be looked down upon by others." After saying that, the deputy general handed the book in his hand to Zhou Asan and said, "This is the appointment letter signed by Commander Mao himself. Keep it well!"

Zhou Asan excitedly took the appointment letter, his eyes gleaming with determination. He knew that this was an important opportunity in his life and also a recognition of his ability.

However, his heart was full of contradictions and struggles. What happened last night had been lingering in his mind, like a heavy stone pressing on him and making him breathless. And the "Against All Odds" was like a sharp knife hanging over his heart, threatening to expose his secrets at any time.

After leaving the deputy general's residence, Zhou Asan rushed to the command post of the coastal defense brigade without stopping.

This command post is located in the former Jinxia Navy forward command post. Brigade Commander Fang Ji is discussing combat deployment with three other regiment commanders.

After Zhou Asan entered the command post, he saluted Fang Jie and reported: "Commander, the commander of the security regiment, Zhou Asan, is here to report."

Fang Jie responded enthusiastically: "Zhou Asan, I have been looking forward to your arrival. Please take a seat."

However, Zhou Asan replied respectfully: "How dare I sit down in front of you, sir? I'd better stand and listen to your instructions." After that, he stood upright aside, waiting for the next order with a focused expression.

"Zhou Asan, I have something to say to you. Commander Zhou said that we are a new-style army, an army of the common people. We emphasize equality between officers and soldiers. There is only a distinction between job responsibilities, but no distinction between high and low status. So there can't be a distinction between the upper and the lower. I call you Zhou Asan, and you call me Fang Jie." Fang Jie said to Zhou Asan with a serious face.
