"I've met Mr. Xu!"
Fang Yuan cupped his hands slightly, then sat down unceremoniously and looked Xu Ren up and down.
We haven’t seen each other for fifteen years. The upright and angry young man who was originally concerned about the country and the people has now turned into a sinister middle-aged man who can’t express his emotions or anger. Even when he saw Fang Yuan being so rude, he didn’t show any anger at all. It was obvious that the city was very deep. , Fang Yuan had to lament that time is like a butcher's knife.
"It turns out the god is here!"
When Xu Ren saw Fang Yuan's young face, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and then gave another solemn salute: "Zun Shen has helped my family a lot, Xu Ren would like to thank you! This time Zun Shen came here, what advice do you have? But it is useful. Wherever you find Xu Ren, you will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
Fang Yuan's expression remained unchanged after hearing this, but he was sneering in his heart.
With his spiritual sense, he had certainly sensed the energy lurking in the mezzanine of the study.
In this antique study room, there are currently eight martial arts masters, plus two magicians who are good at Taoism!
In fact, the eight martial arts masters were filled with evil spirits. They had obviously crawled out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and their spirits had been tempered so much that even ghosts were afraid of them.
With such an order, the study room would become a cornerstone. Even if he was in the midst of five changes and six changes, he would still have some trouble if he wanted to quickly kill Xu Ren and break out of the siege under this heavy siege.
Not to mention, since the Xu family moved here, they have owned tens of thousands of acres of land, and there are countless tenant warriors attached to them. There is no problem at all in recruiting hundreds of loyal private soldiers.
This is the providence of God and the foundation of our rise.
"It looks like Xu Ren is really full of wings!"
Fang Yuan was thinking silently in his heart, but then he said: "I don't dare... Mr. Xu has destiny. I came here this time just to ask, if the time is right, will Mr. Xu make a move?"
"Destiny?"
Xu Ren was shocked and turned his face towards the northwest: "I, Xu Ren, am an official of the imperial court, so I must be loyal to your majesty..."
But when he saw Fang Yuan's smiling face mid-sentence, he couldn't say any more.
Only then did I realize that the other party was a great demon! He didn't want to eat humans at all, so he couldn't help but nodded slightly in silence.
After a long time, he said solemnly: "The late emperor was very kind to me. I didn't want to do it to other countries. The change of the court is only a matter of days. But if it affects the destiny of my human race, even if I am not talented, I will be shattered to pieces to determine the fate of my human race." A great situation!"
Sure enough, he had mixed up with the officialdom and covered up the disloyalty of raising an army to attack the Lord under the glorious banner of the rise of humanity, so he had excuses and righteousness.
Although this was fake, Fang Yuan couldn't help but nod.
Whether or not he has such righteousness 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 thought has become almost as clear as a mirror in front of Fang Yuan.
"Then what are Mr. Xu going to do?"
Fang Yuan asked again.
"The current prefect, Kou Wei, is frail, old and comatose, and is about to retire from office. I am prepared to take over as prefect and take root..."
Xu Ren's face twitched, but he still stated his plan.
Anyway, there are no outsiders in this house, and the guards are all dead soldiers and loyal.
"If you do this, you will definitely lose your chance!"
After hearing this, Fang Yuan immediately sneered.
The great catastrophe has been launched, and just in the past few years, you still want to wait leisurely for someone to become an official? After all, it was not Qianlong, but Qianlong's father who had lost his fearless spirit and the courage to overthrow everything and start over.
"Then according to the will of the God, you want me to start immediately?"
Xu Ren asked with a smile, but decided in his heart that if this monster dared to say this, he would use all his strength to kill him here!
After all, even though Da Chu was still in decline at this time, it was a dead end for him to rashly raise an army to rebel.
"No!"
Fang Yuan smiled confidently: "Does Mr. Xu still remember his great wish when he first came here?"
Xu Ren was in a trance for a while, recalling when he was young and vigorous, and had the ambition to rule the country and bring peace to the world: "There are only two evils in Jinze Mansion, one is the evil god, and the other is the water bandit!"
God, the cleanup in the past ten years or so has almost come to an end.
But they are water bandits who advance and retreat like the wind. They usually hide in Jinting Lake, like a drop of water hiding in the sea. They are also very good at water fighting.
Of course, the more important thing is that natural and man-made disasters have caused refugees from nearby prefectures to gather together, which has brought a steady stream of backup to the water bandits.
Although Xu Ren sent troops to suppress the army several times and won great victories, it soon reappeared, just like the spring breeze blowing again.
According to his estimation, unless we directly capture several prefectures near Jinting Lake and coordinate and cooperate, we may have hope of eradicating the water bandits.
"Could it be that the god came here to have a plan to control the flood bandits?"
Xu Ren rolled his eyes and asked happily.
"In the past few times, after defeating the captured water bandits, how did the government deal with it?"
Fang Yuan played with the teacup and talked in front of the Prime Minister of the First House, with a calm and indifferent temperament. This kind of temperament made Xu Ren feel shuddered in his heart, feeling that his talented son was a little inferior.
After thinking about it for a while, he replied: "The bandit leaders and their leaders will be executed, and the rest of the prisoners will be organized into households. However, our Kanze Mansion does not have much land and cannot accommodate them one by one. There are many who surrender and then rebel again!"
"Before, you could only do this within the government system, but now, if you think about it outside of the box, don't you have everything? Those who have always put military power first in rebellions, and there are tens of thousands of soldiers hidden in Jinze Lake. Wouldn’t it be an excellent source of troops?”
Fang Yuan smiled and directly broke the window paper.
In fact, this was directly prepared for Xu Ting by God.
Otherwise, how could it be so easy to rise
"Making water bandits into soldiers? Once this exceeds the quota, it will be the same as open rebellion..."
Xu Ren thought for a while and felt that there seemed to be something unfinished in Fang Yuan's words. He couldn't help but stand up and bowed deeply: "Please teach me, God!"
In my heart, I was in a trance. I just felt that this situation was so similar to when I made up my mind to clean up the evil god more than ten years ago!
"There are many waterways in Da Chu. With a little training, these water bandits can become excellent water troops... Moreover, if Xu Gong saves them from fire and water, he will definitely die!"
In fact, the navy and the like are just incidental. What Fang Yuan means is that for hundreds of years in Dachu, the influence of the rules of monarch and ministers is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. If you want to rebel, even if you have tribesmen, 80% of the accompanying strength will be shaken. In this era , the power of the title of a righteous monarch and his ministers is very incredible.
Therefore, if we really want to start an uprising, we can actually rely on very few forces.
But the water bandits are lawless, and they are originally people who kill officials and rebel. As long as they can be given a better life and rescued from the sea of misery, their lives will be at stake.
Even if you want to break the sky, you will not hesitate. This is the necessary psychological quality for the rebel army!
"this… "
Xu Ren understood it immediately and felt immediately moved.
In the rebellions of past dynasties, the most taboo thing at the beginning was a weak mind. Once shaken, it was easy for traitors to appear and the army to be defeated like a mountain.
The imperial court has been majestic for hundreds of years, but those who dare to break everything immediately are only a few after all.
The wonderful thing is that among the water bandits, there are many who dare to take down the emperor even if they are willing to be killed.
If you can get his death power, it will indeed be a clever move.
The most important thing is to hide the troops in the lake. They are usually unknown. Once launched, they can attack various prefectures along the waterway, taking them by surprise and attacking them unprepared, with great certainty.
In this way, we can start an uprising immediately and have some confidence to separate one side.
If we have the right timing... I'm afraid taking over the world won't be a dream!
"The words from the gods gave me enlightenment!"
Xu Ren immediately bowed down, with tears streaming down his face: "I am what I am today, thanks to the advice given by the Lord. I would like to build a family temple for the Lord, and make offerings to the Lord at all times. I would never give up to the Lord." I have to refuse!"
Until this moment, he thought that Fang Yuan was the god of incense and the conferred General Oolong.
"Haha... I'm here to remind you. It's just destiny. Do you think I'm planning this?"
Fang Yuan laughed three times and left.
There was only a flash of golden light, and the figure had already disappeared without a trace.
When Xu Ren saw this scene, his face darkened. He pondered for a long time and clapped his hands again: "Come out!"
"I've met the master!"
After the study, the partition wall opened, and two people came out and knelt down respectfully.
"This matter... is my top secret. You know the rules, right?"
Xu Ren sneered several times.
"Please rest assured, sir, this matter will never be spread. If there is any leakage, I will come to see you!"
The warrior-looking man knew how powerful he was and kowtowed heavily, his scalp turning bright red.
"Of course I believe you, go down!"
Xu Ren waved his hand and asked the warrior to retreat, then looked at Vincent: "Shen Changhe, you are my mastermind, what do you think of this plan?"
The scribe was wearing a green shirt and was about thirty years old. He was the golden age of men. He had an elegant appearance and a natural and unrestrained air. Hearing the words, he couldn't help but said: "Master, I just listened behind you and thought about it for a long time. 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 mansions, and it will immediately become the climate... "
"Of course, the most important thing is to defeat the water bandits. It's just and true. No one can find fault with me!"
"Um!"
Xu Ren stroked his beard, obviously very satisfied with this.
"It's just...who should handle this matter?"
He looked at Shen Changhe and seemed to ask unintentionally.
Shen Changhe trembled all over, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. He kowtowed and said, "As a magistrate, I should refrain from doing this even if the magistrate can no longer handle the matter, but I can let the young master do it!"
"The eldest young master has already obtained the title of Juren. If he becomes an official immediately, he can be awarded the rank of ninth grade, inspecting various counties, and even acting as county captain..."
Military power is a top priority, and as the mastermind, Shen Changhe will naturally not be stupid enough to get involved.
In fact, Xu Ting is the only candidate.
"Hmm... The world is about to be in chaos, so what's the use of taking the imperial examination? It's better to be directly awarded an official. I will tell Ting'er about this..."
Thinking of this son, even Xu Ren couldn't help but smile while stroking his beard, with a look of relief on his face.
This is the Qilin son of his family, and the responsibility of being the lintel of Guangmen in the future will fall on him.
