Chapter 295
"Meet Mr. Xu!"
Fang Yuan cupped his hands slightly, then sat down unceremoniously, and looked Xu Ren up and down.
I haven't seen him for fifteen years. The upright and angry youth who was originally concerned about the country and the people has now turned into a black-bellied middle-aged man who shows neither emotions nor anger. , Fang Yuan had to feel that time is a butcher's knife.
"It turns out that the god has come!"
When Xu Ren saw Fang Yuan's young face, he couldn't help feeling a little emotional, and immediately bowed solemnly: "The god has helped my family a lot, Xu Ren thank you here! This time, the god came here, what can I learn? But it is useful Wherever you get Xu Ren, you will go through fire and water, and you will never hesitate!"
After Fang Yuan heard this, his face remained unchanged, but he was sneering in his heart.
With his spiritual sense, of course he has already sensed the energy hidden in the mezzanine of the study.
In this quaint study room, there are currently eight martial arts masters, plus two mages who know how to do martial arts!
Even, those eight martial arts masters were full of evil spirits, they obviously crawled out of the sea of blood and corpses, and their spirits have been tempered so hard that even ghosts would be afraid of them.
With one order, this study will become a desperate situation. Even if he is under such a heavy siege, he will have some troubles if he wants to kill Xu Ren quickly and break through.
Not to mention, since the Xu family moved here, they have grown tens of thousands of acres of land, and they have countless tenants and warriors attached to them. It is no problem at all to draw hundreds of loyal private soldiers.
This is the providence of God, the foundation of the rise.
'It seems that this Xu Ren is really full-fledged! '
Fang Yuan thought silently in his heart, but at this moment he said: "Don't dare... Xu Gong has a destiny, I came here this time just to ask, if the time is right, will Xu Gong move?"
"Destiny?"
Xu Ren turned pale with shock, and cupped his hands towards the northwest: "I, Xu Ren, am an official appointed by the imperial court, so I must be loyal to His Majesty..."
But halfway through his speech, seeing Fang Yuan's smiling face, he couldn't continue.
Only then did I realize that the other party was a big monster! He didn't like humans at all, so he couldn't help but nodded slightly.
After a long time, he said in a shy voice: "The late emperor had great kindness to me. I didn't want to seek it in other countries. The change of the court is only a few days, but if it is related to the luck of our human race, although the old man is not talented, he will be smashed to pieces and rule our human race." Great prosperity!"
Sure enough, he got old in the officialdom and covered up his infidelity of raising troops to attack the Lord under the glorious banner of the rise of humanity, so there are excuses and righteousness.
Although it was fake, Fang Yuan couldn't help nodding.
Whether there is such righteousness or not is a completely different situation. It can be seen that Xu Ren is also a man of wisdom.
Of course, in fact, since he moved his family, spread his reputation, and raised dead soldiers, this kind of thinking has almost become a mirror in front of Fang Yuan.
"Then what is Mr. Xu going to do?"
Fang Yuan asked again.
"The current prefect, Kou Wei, is frail, old and faint, and is about to retire. I am prepared, and I will definitely take over as the prefect and lay a deep foundation..."
Xu Ren's face twitched, and he still told his plan.
Anyway, there are no outsiders in this room, and the guards are all dead men, loyal and loyal.
"If this is the case, the time will surely be lost!"
Fang Yuan immediately sneered when he heard this.
The catastrophe was launched, and in the past few years, you still want to wait leisurely for someone to become an official? After all, it was not Qianlong, but the father of Qianlong, who lost his fearless courage and the courage to overthrow everything and start over.
"Then according to the will of the gods, do you want me to activate it immediately?"
Xu Ren asked with a smile, but he decided in his heart that if this monster dared to say so, he must entangle all his strength and kill him here!
After all, at this time, even though Great Chu was still in decline, he rebelled rashly, but it was a dead end.
"No!"
Fang Yuan smiled confidently: "Mr. Xu, do you still remember the big wish you made when you first came here?"
Xu Ren was in a trance for a while, recalling that when he was young and vigorous, he still had great ambitions to govern the country and the world: "There are only two evils in this Jinze Mansion, one is evil spirits, and the other is water bandits!"
Cthulhu, the cleanup in the past ten years is almost done.
Only the water bandits, advance and retreat like the wind, usually hide in Jinting Lake, like dripping water hides the sea, and are very good at water warfare.
Of course, the more important thing is that natural disasters and man-made disasters have brought together disaster victims and refugees from nearby prefectures, which has brought a steady stream of backup to the water bandits.
Although Xu Ren sent troops to suppress several times and won big victories, he recovered soon, like a spring breeze blowing again.
According to his estimation, unless the several prefectures near Jinting Lake are directly taken down and coordinated in unison, there may be hope of eradicating the water bandits.
"Could it be that the gods come here, and there is a way to control the water bandits?"
Xu Ren rolled his eyes and asked with great joy.
"In the past few times, after defeating the captive water bandits, how did the government deal with them?"
Fang Yuan played with the teacup, and talked in front of the prime minister, with a calm and indifferent attitude. This kind of temperament made Xu Ren tremble in his heart, thinking that even his talented son was a little inferior.
At this time, after thinking for a while, he replied: "The bandit leader and leader were executed, and the rest of the captives were registered as householders. It's just that my Jinze Mansion doesn't have a lot of land, so I can't resettle them one by one. There are many people who surrendered and rebelled!"
"Before, you were in the government system, so you could only do this, but now, if you think about it, don't you have everything? All the rioters have always focused on military power. There are tens of thousands of hidden soldiers in Jinze Lake. Isn't it an excellent source of soldiers?"
Fang Yuan smiled, and directly touched the window paper.
In fact, this was directly prepared by God's will for Xu Ting.
Otherwise, how could it be so easy to rise?
"Weaving water bandits into soldiers? Once the quota is exceeded, it's no different from open rebellion..."
Xu Ren thought for a while, and felt that Fang Yuan's words seemed to be full of meaning, so he couldn't help getting up, and bowed deeply: "Please respect God to teach me!"
In my heart, I was in a trance. I only felt that this situation was very similar to when I made up my mind to clean up the evil spirits more than ten years ago!
"There are many waterways in Dachu. With a little training, these water bandits will become an excellent navy... Besides, Mr. Xu will save them from the fire and water, and he will die!"
In fact, the navy or something, but by the way, what Fang Yuan meant was that after hundreds of years in the Great Chu, the influence of the rule of monarch and minister is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. If you want to rebel, even if you have clansmen, the attached power will probably be shaken. In this era , The status and power of righteous monarchs and ministers is incredible.
Therefore, if there is a real uprising, there are actually very few forces that can be relied on.
But the water bandits are lawless, and they were originally the people who killed officials and rebelled. As long as they can give them a better life and rescue them from the sea of suffering, it will really be their lives.
Even if you want to pierce the sky, you don't hesitate, this is the psychological quality necessary for the rebel army!
"this……"
Xu Ren understood immediately, and immediately felt his heart move.
In the rebellion of the past dynasties, the most taboo at the beginning is that the mind is weak. Once shaken, it is easy to make traitors, and the army is defeated like a mountain.
The imperial court has been majestic for a hundred years, and those who dare to break everything immediately are in the minority after all.
The wonderful thing is that among the water bandits, there are many people who are willing to cut the whole body and dare to pull the emperor off his horse.
If it can get its death power, it is indeed a wonderful move.
The most important thing is that the soldiers are hidden in the lake, and they are usually unknown. Once they are launched, they can attack the various prefectures along the waterway.
In this way, even if they start an incident immediately, they will be able to separate one side with certainty.
If there is a combination of heaven and time... I am afraid that it is not a dream to seize the world!
"One word from the gods, it enlightened me!"
Xu Ren immediately bowed down, with tears streaming down his face: "I have achieved today, thanks to Zunshen's advice back then. I am willing to build a family temple for Zunshen, and I will worship it all the time. I hope Zunshen will never stop To decline!"
Until now, he still thought that Fang Yuan was the God of Incense, the conferred General Oolong.
"Haha... I'm here to remind you, it's just destiny, do you think I drew this?"
Fang Yuan laughed three times and left the door.
There was a flash of golden light, and the figure had already disappeared without a trace.
Seeing this scene, Xu Ren's complexion turned dark, he pondered for a long time, and clapped his hands again: "Come out!"
"I have seen the master!"
After the study room, the partition wall was opened, and the two came out, kneeling respectfully.
"This matter...is my top secret, you know the rules, right?"
Xu Ren sneered several times.
"Master, please rest assured, this matter will never be spread to the outside world. If there is even the slightest rumor leaked out, the villain will come and see you!"
The warrior-like man knew how powerful he was, he kowtowed heavily, his scalp was bright red.
"You guys, of course I believe it, go down!"
Xu Ren waved his hand to make the warrior retreat, and then looked at Wen Sheng: "Shen Changhe, you are my mastermind, what do you think of this plan?"
This scribe was wearing a green shirt, about thirty years old, just the golden age of a man, with a refined appearance and a chic air. Hearing the words, he couldn't help saying: "Master, I just listened to it from behind, and I have been thinking about it for a long time, and I still feel that this The strategy is great, hiding troops in the lake, once there is a change, you can completely control the five nearby prefectures, and it will immediately become a climate..."
"Of course, the most important thing is to crusade against the water bandits. It's justifiable. No one can find out the fault of the master!"
"Um!"
Xu Ren stroked his beard, obviously very satisfied with this.
"It's just... who should handle this matter?"
He looked at Shen Changhe, seemingly unintentionally asking.
Shen Changhe was trembling all over, cold sweat broke out immediately, he kowtowed and said: "Master, as the magistrate, even if the magistrate can't handle the matter, you should avoid it, but you can let the young master do it!"
"The eldest young master has already passed the examination and has achieved a great reputation. If he enters the official position immediately, he can be awarded the rank of ninth rank, patrol inspectors in various counties, and even act as a county lieutenant..."
Military power is the most important thing. As the mastermind, Shen Changhe would not be so stupid as to get involved.
In fact, Xu Ting was the only candidate.
"Well... the world will be in chaos, so what's the use of being a Jinshi? It's better to be awarded an official directly. I'll tell Ting'er about this truth..."
Thinking of this son, even Xu Ren couldn't help stroking his beard and smiling, with a look of relief on his face.
This is the Qilin son of his family, and the responsibility for the future prosperity of the family falls on him.
