Chapter 599
When Liu Bu came to Hejian Prefecture, he mainly assisted Xiao Ning in driving away Liu Guotai, gathering military power, and unifying the control of this army.
If Xiao Ning had used this trick, he might not have been able to gather the morale of the army so smoothly and drive away Liu Guotai. However, it would be different for Liu Bu to come here, because Liu Bu is the soul of the Liu family army, its core, and their future masters. His identity said a few times more useful than Xiao Ning's. In view of this, Liu Bu decided to come here.
Because they all know that this is very important to them, which will greatly enhance their strength and security. It is their main base for the court to go south. If they defend Hejian Prefecture, it is equivalent to pushing the front line outside Shandong and protecting Shandong the most effectively.
The advantages of these strategies are something they cannot give up.
To put it bluntly, they didn't even dare to think about such a good situation before. This is because they knew that the garbage in the Ming Dynasty was so garbage that they could have such a good advantage so easily, which ensured their form to be safe.
And this is also a concept of the Liu family army. They have now entered the model of fighting for the world.
This means that they will fight with the Ming Dynasty to fight for the world, the hearts of the army and the people. They conquered many cities, defeated many Ming army, and how they would operate after capturing these cities will be their challenge.
They can control the three eastern prefectures in a short period of time and sweep the three western prefectures. This is because the Liu family has easily achieved great achievements over the decades of accumulation and development.
Shandong has been suffering from the exploitation of the imperial court for a long time, and their policy of governing Qi by Qi has been deeply supported by the general public, so they can sweep the area in the short term.
However, after leaving Shandong, they did not have such an advantage in home fighting. The people in this era have great regional views. Even if the locals are poor, they often look down on foreigners, and they don’t know where they come from their pride and confidence.
The Liu family's troops left Shandong and entered Hebei. This was the beginning of their struggle for dominance and the beginning of governing the world. What methods will they use to ensure their interests will be the issue they need to consider.
After Liu Bu solved the problems of Hejian Prefecture and Liu Guotai, he immediately left here in a low-key manner. Liu Bu is now the soul of the Liu family army. With him, he is equivalent to a Dinghai Sword. Many people know that the General Liu is here, especially the soldiers in the army. He knows that the General is here and his morale is high.
Because they all know that with General Liu, you can basically conquer everything and be invincible.
This is equivalent to their signature figures, and Liu Bu also understood this, so he left in a low-key manner when he left Hejian Mansion.
Except for the core figures in the army, most of the others did not know that Marshal Liu had left.
Liu Bu was in a hurry to leave, of course, to solve the problem of the Zheng family. Since Wang Wenjie saw the huge problem, he could not ignore it. If the Zheng family was really bribed and attacked them, the consequences would be very serious.
The biggest advantage of the Liu family at present comes from his navy, which is not available to the court, so they can suppress the other party to fight. If the Zheng family bought by the court to deal with them, this advantage will no longer be achieved.
Asking the Zheng family to send troops is only a matter of price. Once the price is right, they will send troops decisively.
Liu Bu found that he still lacked strategic vision in this regard, at least he did not see the crisis in this regard. Once the other party suddenly attacked their rear, their seemingly huge system would be separated and collapsed in a blink of an eye.
That's why he returned to Jinan decisively in the situation, preparing to solve the problems of the Zheng family. Not only did he go back by himself, he would also gradually transfer all his major forces back and strengthen coastal defense.
However, he knew that this was useless. This was because they had a long sea defense line and many cities were also on the beach, so they were easily attacked by the Zheng family Navy.
According to Zheng Zhibao, the strength of their Liu family navy is equivalent to about a quarter of that of the Zheng family navy. If they confront each other head-on, their chances of winning are not very good.
Liu Bu went south at night, traveled day and night, and finally returned to Jinan three days later.
At this time, the Liu family had moved into the Dewang Mansion of Jinan, and Liu Yuanqiao moved into the Dewang Mansion. Several important families of the Liu family also moved into the Dewang Mansion of Jinan Prefecture.
Now the Dewang Mansion has been changed to the Liu Mansion, and the Dewang family has been controlled and surveillance. The Liu family detained the Dewang family and moved into the royal mansion. The rebellion is obvious. Many people know the Liu family's ambitions, but they are helpless. After all, their strength is here, and the Dewang family is also controlled by him. He can indeed do whatever he wants.
After Liu Bu arrived in Jinan and entered the Dewang Mansion, he immediately went to see his father. Liu Yuanqiao worked and lived in the Dewang Mansion. The Dewang Mansion was very large, equivalent to one-tenth of the Jinan Mansion. Since Liu Yuanqiao entered, the guards of this area alone have deployed a regiment of more than 3,000 people to protect their safety.
Liu Yuanqiao is now working in the main hall of Prince De's Mansion. When he heard that Liu Bu was back, he summoned him immediately.
The father and son haven't seen each other for a long time. When they meet at this moment, they feel happy.
Liu Yuanqiao is a hero of a generation who is versatile and very powerful. Unfortunately, he gave birth to an unworthy son. It is impossible for such a son to inherit the family and revitalize his ancestral property. He made all his arrangements, which would make this son safe and prosperous for the rest of his life.
Who knew that his son suddenly became so powerful? Liu Yuanqiao blamed all this as a prodigal son, just like himself back then. When he was exploring the world and playing, he was also a prodigal son and a second-generation ancestor. But once he turned around and took over the family business, he also did a great job and carried forward the family business even more.
Their Liu family is born with a good seed. As long as they do things with their heart, they can do things well. His son's performance over the years has made him very pleased and satisfied, and made him convinced that the Liu family's destiny belongs to.
Even if Liu Yuanqiao wants to be an ordinary person, the times no longer allow it. The times are changing rapidly. Even if their Liu family continues to be willing to stay in Linqing as a tax official and become his rich man, no one else wants to do so. If they are not killed by others in silence, they will grow up in the explosion. They choose the latter.
As a result, the Liu family accumulated strength and once it broke out, it burst out with a terrifying majesty. They rose up quickly and embarked on a completely different path from the past. This is also the ultimate belonging of all the aristocratic families, either rising or falling.
Fortunately, the Liu family developed very well. They successfully separated Shandong and dominated the country. Although the court suppressed them vigorously, they did not fall at a disadvantage when they opposed the court with their strength. This was enough to be proud.
At this time, the Liu family father and son were already determined to win the world. Otherwise, they would not have moved into the De Prince's Mansion openly, and imprisoned the two princes in Shandong, King De and King Lu, and confiscated their property.
Both kings are old princes, with a lot of property, and they have copied their property to cope with their expenses.
This is why the Liu family army had to copy the two royal families no matter what.
There is too much money.
So even though they have not raised their troops to rebel now, they still have to copy the two royal families first and strengthen themselves.
The four major families in Shandong in the past became two major families. Because of its status in Shilin and its relationship with the Liu family, it was impossible to copy it, so the power structure of the two major families began to form.
When Liu Bu came back from the front line, he immediately reported the situation ahead to his father. To describe it in one sentence, this means that the situation is very good.
Originally, they only defended Dongchang Prefecture, but they all fought to the northern Zhili area of Hebei, which frightened the Ming Dynasty court and sent troops back to help. Such a momentum was not comparable to the Southwest Rebellion.
In the past, the Ming Dynasty basically fought against the rebels. Only this time was the Liu family fighting against the Ming army.
The situation in the Liu family is very good now, but there is one thing that still bothers Liu Yunqiao. This is where their Liu family should go.
What they do now is not called rebellion, but it is true of rebellion. However, Liu Yuanqiao's current official title is still Governor Denglai, but he sent troops to capture the three Western prefectures and lived in the De Palace openly. All kinds of immoral actions have been rebellious.
So Liu Yuanqiao is also worried about something now, which is how they should set their own status.
Since they have already rebelled against the Ming Dynasty, it is impossible to become officials of the Ming Dynasty. What kind of officials should they be, is the same very particular thing.
For example, their General Liu Bu had already served as the marshal of the Shandong Army, and the Liu family army was officially separated from the Ming Dynasty and became an independent army.
However, their government system was split from the Ming Dynasty and could not be separated for a while. Liu Yuanqiao did not think about what they should call it. Many people wrote to the letter, believing that they should establish a country independently, called Han.
Because Liu Yuanqiao has always claimed that their branch was a branch of Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Since it was the descendant of the royal family, it is natural to revitalize the ancestral property now.
As for the argument that the Five Elements always says, that is, the Ming Dynasty belongs to fire, while the Han Dynasty belongs to water, which uses water to extinguish fire, which conforms to the cycle of heaven. Therefore, many of his subordinates have written letters and hints that he should be called the King of Han. Even if he does not become emperor, he will temporarily proclaim himself the King of Han and wait for the opportunity.
Some people also believe that at this time, they should first determine their status. Even if they are not called King of Han, they can be called King of Qi, because they are already independent of the powers outside the court.
