Choosing the area around the Fan family as a training camp for the new army was a decision Lu Xiao made not long ago. The main reason was that there was money and food here, and even a lot of ordnance was prepared. It would be a pity not to use such a natural foundation.
Of course, Fanjiabao is also in Lu Xiao's plan. Someone has built the headquarters, granary, and armory for you. If you don't just take it and use it, wouldn't it be a waste of their efforts?
Fan Yongdou looked at the man who walked over surrounded by people. He didn't know that person, but he knew the old man next to him. That was his housekeeper... He stood up with all his strength and cursed angrily.
"Old Sun, have I ever treated you badly over the years? You actually teamed up with others to deal with my Fan family?"
However, the old man named Lao Sun coldly gave Fan Yongdou a critical blow.
"Sir, what do you mean by teaming up with outsiders to deal with the Fan family? This is the current commander of the Jinyi Guards, Mr. Lu Xiaolu. That is the emperor's intention to deal with the Fan family. Your Majesty, he is also considered an outsider?"
Fan Yongdou was stunned on the spot, and his head almost split open. The emperor's people??? Impossible, absolutely impossible.
He spends an unknown amount of money on it every year, and has never had any accidents after traveling in Liaodong for so many years. This is because someone from the court or the local government protects him.
It stands to reason that the emperor sitting in the deep palace should not know his existence at all. He is just an emperor and does not know anything about the people.
"No, that's not right. I know Mr. Wen, Mr. Zhou and Mr. Qian in the court. This is a misunderstanding! Sir, it's all a misunderstanding. I am a good citizen of the Ming Dynasty. I build bridges and roads every year, and everyone around me knows that.
I am a good person. Did you make a mistake somewhere?"
Fan Yongdou mentioned the names of many important ministers in the court in one breath, trying to make Lu Xiao worry. But what he didn't know was that it was not Lu Xiao who was worried about those courtiers, but the courtiers who were worried about Lu Xiao.
Lu Xiao now holds the Jin Yiwei and has the trust of Tian Qi. He is extremely powerful in this empire. The key is that he is now in his own line and is not connected with any ministers in the court.
You must know that Lu Xiao is so prosperous now, and it is natural to have defectors. Officialdom is a very realistic place. He now occupies a dominant position, and naturally some people come up to lick him. But Lu Xiao never pays attention to any defectors. He is stubborn and free from the influence of the entire empire.
Outside the officialdom system, I do what I want to do according to my own rules.
"Unfortunately, the adults you mentioned are not here now. Mr. Fan, I am not here to negotiate terms with you. Instead, I need answers to some questions. I declare in advance that this process will not make you feel comfortable.
But this is a necessary step. So, let’s start with the simpler ones.”
Lu Xiao said and waved his hand. Someone immediately dragged out a young man from the group of family papers.
"To simplify the process, let me give you a demonstration first." Lu Xiao said, suddenly drew the knife with his right hand and slashed the young man's throat. Under Fan Yongdou's disbelieving eyes, the young man covered his throat and slowly fell down.
"You...you..."
Lu Xiao ignored Fan Yongdou's horror and said to himself.
"Then let's get started now. The first question is, Mr. Fan. How many yards does your home have in total?"
.............
Just when Lu Xiao started training his troops, a big event happened in Liaodong. Nurhaci died.
Nurhachi's death was actually much later than in history. The main reason is that the Nurhachi of this world, after the Battle of Sarhu, moved south much slower, so he was not hit by muskets in the field, thus dragging him down.
Body.
But no matter what, Nurhachi has been fighting for many years, and he still has a lot of hidden wounds. He has been holding on, hoping to launch a battle to expand his territory before his death. But after barely surviving this winter, he finally
Couldn't wait until the war started.
Nurhachi's death was a foreshadowing for the Tatars. Especially his four major Beile, Daishan, Amin, Mang Gurtai, and Huang Taiji had already begun fighting openly and secretly.
Nurhachi's favorite during his lifetime was Huang Taiji (some say Daishan). But the other three people did not intend to surrender just like that.
The key is that at this time, some kind of gossip suddenly appeared in Liaodong. It was that Babeile Huang Taiji had some unspeakable relationship with Xiao Fujin, Nurhachi's favorite woman, Abahai.
Facts have proved that both Tatars and Han people like to eat melons. Especially such super big melons. So this melon quickly spread throughout Liaodong. Not only Tatars, but also Han people.
Pass this thing around.
And the most interesting thing about this melon is that the melon is real, and the so-called unspeakable relationship really exists. But... the protagonist is wrong.
Huang Taiji's whole body was numb. He was actually the first to discover the secret between Big Belle and Xiao Fujin. Only when Zhengshi mastered this secret did he have the confidence to let Daishan support him in his rise to power. At the same time, he completely cut off Xiao Fujin's relationship.
Fujin's son, the possibility of Dorgon ascending to the throne.
Very few people know this secret, and most of them have been silenced. Only Huang Taiji and a few people involved know about it.
The most ridiculous thing is, it was obviously Dai Shan who did it, so why did the protagonist become him when word spread outside? Huang Taiji’s first reaction was that Dai Shan did it. The villain complained first, muddying the water. Anyway, this kind of thing,
It is impossible for the parties involved to come forward to clarify.
Originally, the competition for the throne was only between Daishan and Huang Taiji. But as soon as this issue came up, the situation suddenly became delicate. The other two Baylor, Amin and Mang Gurtai, who were originally at a disadvantage, also began to have careful thoughts.
Lu Xiao, who was far away in Shanxi, looked at the information sent back by his subordinates with a dissatisfied expression on his face.
"That's it? Are you satisfied now?"
"...Sir, is there anything else that is not thoughtful? Currently, within the Tatars, the four major Baylors have begun to confront each other. Our goal has been achieved, right?"
"This has not achieved the goal, it has only met the minimum requirements. I asked you if you could make more progress and get some tidbits. That is a success. What about the details? Without details, people will soon lose interest."
Lu Xiao understands the forgetfulness of the masses very well. No matter how popular a thing is, if there is no corresponding follow-up promotion, it will soon be forgotten.
"I need more details. Did Xiao Fujin and Huang Taiji do it voluntarily? Did she have some information that fell into Huang Taiji's hands, so she had to commit herself to him? Or maybe Xiao Fujin is a scheming woman, and he
Thinking that Huang Taiji has the highest chance of winning, you take the initiative to approach Huang Taiji?
Are they really at peace with each other? If so, how did they meet? At what time? Where? Do these two people have any unknown hobbies? I want details, understand. Get ready
Just enough detail and then release it bit by bit to keep things hot!”
