Two hundred and sixty first chapters confrontation
Tobur thought for a moment and said: "Perhaps this is an opportunity for us. We should take advantage of the chaos to strengthen our strength. No matter which prince ascends the throne, he will not be able to do anything to us."
Huadongxing sneered: "Do you think that even if Xia Houying is in power, given the current strength comparison between the two sides, he can still do anything to us, the Chinese leader? Now we are the largest force in the country, but most people still look at it from the old perspective
Looking at people, they stubbornly believe that Tongshan County is a poor place, and they just close their eyes and refuse to admit it."
Tobur turned to Fang Xiaoyu and said: "Master, I want to ask you, what would you do if the Fang family asked you to support a certain prince? What would happen if you had the possibility of becoming the world leader?" As soon as Tobur's words came out, East China trip,
Tobol and even Liu Mingzhao next to him all looked at Fang Xiaoyu.
Fang Xiaoyu looked around at the hopeful eyes of several of his cronies, smiled slightly and said: "Those who do big things must make decisive decisions. I will not let my family love blind me. As long as I have a chance to conquer the world, I won't care what the Fang family wants me to do."
No matter who we support, we can do it alone if necessary."
Fang Xiaoyu's words were tantamount to admitting that he not only had the idea of conquering the world, but also had an unshakable determination. As soon as his words came out, the eyes of the three people lit up.
Huadongxing stood up excitedly: "Okay, since the young master has such ambitions, I, Huadongxing, will naturally follow him to the death and help the young master fulfill his ambition."
Tobur smiled and said: "I also firmly support the young master, and I think the young master's ambition is far more than just the Lanfang Empire. I only have one condition. I hope that the young master will let me take charge of the command when he attacks the Cossack Empire. I want to show it to the world.
Look, when I, Tobur, was defeated, it was because the country of Bai Nur was too weak, not because I, the idiot commander, was the reason."
Liu Mingzhao also expressed his position: "We, the two hundred thousand soldiers of the Iron-Blooded Army, are only willing to obey the orders of the young master. As long as the young master says a word, we will go up to the mountains of swords and the seas of fire."
Fang Xiaoyu laughed loudly and said: "Okay, as long as everyone works together, we will definitely succeed. We want the whole world to know that we are the most powerful."
Huadongxing and Tobol were not planning to go to Beijing with Fang Xiaoyu. After discussing the recent action plan of Chinaxing, they got off the train at Baishan City, changed to another train and returned to Vladivostok.
Fang Xiaoyu sat on the heavily armed No. 2 special train and headed straight for the capital along the recently completed domestic railway. On the domestic railway that had just been opened to traffic, all locomotives were not in place yet, so there were very few trains on this railway line. No. 2
The special train does not need to communicate with the stations along the way and runs smoothly to the capital.
After three days of driving, the special train opened on a branch road. This branch road was a branch line specially built by Fang Xiaoyu to connect Lanting Villa after the domestic railway was built. It was used as a fast channel for Lanting Villa to sell goods to the outside world. At this moment
But it became the most convenient way for Fang Xiaoyu to go home.
When the super-long train with four locomotives stopped at the station in front of Lanting Villa, the surprised attendant immediately ran over. "Master, it's the young master who is back." Before the attendant came forward to ask, he glanced at
When we arrived, Fang Xiaoyu stepped off the train surrounded by many guards.
When the news of Fang Xiaoyu's return spread throughout Lanting Villa, everyone was excited. Guo Cheng, the manager of the Villa, immediately came to greet Fang Xiaoyu in person. "Master, you are finally here. You miss me so much." As soon as he saw Fang Xiaoyu,
Guo Cheng was so excited that tears filled his eyes.
Fang Xiaoyu smiled and said: "It's true that I haven't been back for a long time, probably several years."
Guo Cheng nodded and said, "No, it's been six years and three months."
Fang Xiaoyu patted Guo Cheng on the shoulder and said, "It's really hard for you here."
Guo Cheng shook his head and said: "Guarding the young master's property can't be considered hard work. It's just that there are fewer and fewer old people in the villa. I miss them very much."
Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "The old people from our villa are all in very important positions now, and there are quite a lot of them as officials. One day I will change you, and you can follow Sun Huaizong as his deputy. He is now in charge of the Department of Agriculture."
It’s vivid and colorful.”
Guo Cheng smiled and said: "That's good, but I still feel safe guarding the young master's property personally."
The two of them walked into the villa while talking. When they came to the room where Fang Xiaoyu used to live, Guo Cheng smiled and said: "Master, you see, we have people coming over to clean it every day, so we can move in at any time."
Fang Xiaoyu nodded with satisfaction: "You have your heart. I wonder what the situation is like in the villa now?"
Guo Cheng said: "Everyone is very safe. Although it is chaotic outside, the villa is very peaceful. Everyone says that as long as the young master is here, we will be very safe."
Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "That's true. I won't let everyone suffer. As long as I'm here, no one can escape. I wonder how many people are still in the villa now?"
Guo Cheng said: "There are quite a few. There are about 30,000 people in the villa, and there are about 5,000 people in the factory area of Luo Yunshan."
Fang Xiaoyu said: "There are indeed a lot of people. I don't know how many weapons are in stock in the villa. I hope to arm them as soon as possible." Regarding this trip to Beijing, Fang Xiaoyu was actually at a loss because he lacked intelligence support and had nowhere to go.
To judge the current situation, you only need to make more preparations. The most important thing is to arm everyone in the villa first in case you need it in case of emergencies.
Guo Chengdao: "Don't worry, young master, our arsenal in Lanting Villa has already switched to the production of Type 92 rifles for export. Recently, it is producing a large order for the Istanbul Empire. Therefore, there are more than 40,000 rifles in stock, and the ammunition is sufficient.
.And the people in the villa undergo military training on a regular basis. If the young master wants to use it, it will not be delayed."
Fang Xiaoyu was very happy after hearing this: "This is great. Arm these people immediately, strengthen training, and send a telegram to Vladivostok to tell them that I have mobilized these Type 92 rifles first, and asked them to draw a batch from the territory to supplement Istanbul's supply."
Imperial orders.”
Fang Xiaoyu asked again: "Are the bullets produced by our factory still supplied to our various customers?"
Guo Cheng smiled slightly and said: "The situation is tense now. In the past month, the bullet orders for the Cheng family and the empire have been pushed back and delayed whenever possible, and no more bullets have been given to them."
Fang Xiaoyu nodded with satisfaction: "We have done a lot. These people are not the same as us. We usually sell to them to make money. Now we may have conflicts with all parties, so it is better to sell less ammunition."
With enough reserve troops, Fang Xiaoyu was relieved. The next morning, he took a company of guards and rode the bulletproof carriage that had been left at the villa to the Fang family's old house.
Although the lord could not enter the capital privately without being summoned, the capital was in chaos now, and even the emperor was gone. Who cares about these details? What's more, Fang Xiaoyu entered the city quietly from the south gate controlled by his grandfather Fang Wei, and did not show his own banner at all, so
No one will pay attention to him.
"Grandpa, I'm back." Fang Xiaoyu walked into the living room. At this time, Fang Rui was sitting in the hall talking to his uncle Fang Weiming.
"Xiaoyu is back." The two people who were talking looked up and saw Fang Xiaoyu, and immediately stood up.
Fang Weiming smiled and said: "You are finally back. Now that the Fang family is without you, it is like without the backbone. As long as I see you, I will be at ease."
Fang Rui also smiled and said, "It'll be great if you come back now. I wonder how many people you brought to Beijing?"
Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "I only brought one group, less than two thousand people."
Fang Rui frowned slightly when he heard this: "So few? Now all the forces in Beijing have stationed heavy troops, and two thousand people are not many."
Fang Xiaoyu smiled and said: "My two thousand iron-blooded troops can even fight back Monte's two hundred thousand cavalry. Are we still afraid of the guards who have little combat experience?"
Fang Rui laughed dumbly and said, "Your soldiers are indeed elite, but now the imperial guards are not the only ones with strong strength in the capital."
"Oh?" Fang Xiaoyu frowned: "Grandpa, I heard the news when I was inspecting the Wild Continent. I came in a hurry without communicating with the intelligence chief. I am not familiar with the situation here. Could it be that the major families
Have you sent more troops to the capital?"
Fang Rui nodded: "That's right, now the imperial guards are only guarding the imperial city and not coming out. The city guards in the four cities each support their own forces, and the garrison has been split into three groups, and they are stationed in three groups.
Gate. Not to mention, Wang Xuan was the first to arrive five days ago. On the pretext of defending the capital and investigating His Majesty's assassination, he brought two divisions of troops, and they are now stationed outside the city. A day later, Cheng Feng responded in the same way.
I led an army into the city under the pretext of being stationed outside the west gate. Xia Yushang's army also arrived two days ago and is now stationed outside the east gate. You are the last to arrive."
Fang Xiaoyu suddenly realized that he had been a little too cautious. He was afraid that people would say that he brought heavy troops to Beijing with evil intentions, so he only brought one regiment. Unexpectedly, several other lords did not take the court seriously at all and directly brought heavy troops to Beijing.
If Fang Xiaoyu's iron-blooded army can definitely suppress several forces in terms of combat effectiveness, no matter how strong the combat effectiveness is, it cannot withstand the large number of people. What's more, the weapons of the other three lords are all Lanting-type lever-action rifles purchased from China.
It doesn't suffer much in terms of firepower.
From Grandpa Fang Rui's words, Fang Xiaoyu learned that the current situation in the capital was very delicate. Currently, the Xiahou family controlled three armies of imperial guards, one division of city guards, and two armies of garrison troops.
North Gate and Imperial City.
The Xia family has one division of city guards, two armies of garrison camps, and Xia Yushang's army. The Xia family only keeps its troops in the Dongcheng District.
The Cheng family is a division of city guards and an army of Cheng Feng, guarding the safety of the west city. Even Wang Xuan, who has little foundation in the capital, has brought two divisions of troops to station outside the city, which can be said to be barely enough.
Self-preservation.
In addition to an army garrison and a division of city guards, the Fang family only has one regiment of its own Iron-Blooded Army. Apart from Wang Xuan, the Fang family has the weakest military strength among the four major families.
