"Mr. Li, what's going on in the court recently?" In the study, Lu Haoshan asked while savoring tea.≧

Li Nian responded with a serious expression: "If you go back to the east, according to the information, after crossing the Yellow River, the traitors first wandered everywhere, but now they are mainly divided into three routes, one way west to Shaanxi, one way north to Shanxi, and one way east to Fengyang, and it is still like that, and it is in chaos."

"What's wrong with Zhang Xianzhong?"

"Information says that Zhang Xianzhong is the main force entering Fengyang east, but their life is not easy. The government army has been chasing him desperately. After all, they are like rats crossing the street."

After escaping the Yellow River, he just temporarily avoided the fatal knife, and then tried to stay away from the butcher knife of the official army, and did not escape from danger. The rebels could cross the river, and the official army could also cross the river. Before he knew it, more than half a year passed. While he was recuperating, the official army and the rebels fought countless battles and fought hard.

Lu Haoshan said strangely: "There are both east, west and north, why are there fewer south? Huguang is a land of fish and rice, and the people are relatively rich, so why no one goes south?"

"Dongweng, it's good to have money, but you have to have a life of life," Li Nian explained: "Huguang is mature and the world is full. Huguang can be said to be the granary of the imperial court. Can there be no heavy troops stationed? Besides, Huguang is mostly plains, easy to plant but not easy to hide. If those thieves arrive in Huguang, it will be easy to be surrounded by the official army. Where can two legs run faster than four legs, they are all smart."

So that's how it was. Lu Haoshan suddenly realized that he thought they were stupid, but he didn't expect that he was stupid. The rebel army would rather go back to Shaanxi, which was plaque that was prone to hiding and escaping in the early stages of the uprising were the most important to the rebel army.

Lu Haoshan's head immediately turned at high speed. If he was right, Zhang Xianzhong, a guy who was not very arrogant and had a lot of bad water, should have remembered the ancestral tomb of the Old Zhu family. The ancients attached great importance to Feng Shui. Zhang Xianzhong wanted to destroy the "dragon vein" of the Old Zhu family. In history, he also broke Fengyang. After breaking Fengyang and being chased by the official army, he attacked Sichuan.

Attacking Sichuan, that is, attacking himself. Lu Haoshan suddenly thought of Han Wendeng and showed a sneer on his lips: Han Wendeng can take advantage of the opportunity to replace his original boss Guo Feng, why can't he replace Han Wendeng?

A real man should take advantage of the momentum. If there is no momentum, then build his own momentum.

"Mr. Li. I don't know if you have heard of it. I've been blinding geese all day long..."

Li Nian immediately continued, "You will also be blinded by geese."

After saying that, the two looked at each other and then laughed loudly. Needless to say, both of them thought of going together.

Isn’t Zhang Xianzhong going to enter Sichuan? Then let him enter. At that time, find an opportunity to let him fight Han Wenden’s troops, watch the fire from the other side of the river, and wait until they are almost in battle before coming out to deal with it. Nowadays, whoever has grasped the military power will have a hard fist. Lu Haoshan has already put too much effort into this day.

After laughing, Lu Haoshan said seriously: "Mr. Li, "What should we do now? Please teach me."

"As long as you do three things well, Sichuan will change its course, and it will be a matter of time."

"Please give me advice."

Li Nian gently twisted his beard and said confidently: "First of all, Dongweng wants to strengthen his own strength, expand his scale, train soldiers diligently, raise food and grass, etc. By the way, the new musket is powerful, and he must also speed up the arming of his subordinates. This is a magic weapon that can determine the victory or defeat on the battlefield."

"Second, don't bother with coins and make good friends with all forces, such as generals holding heavy troops, local tyrants, etc. After all, they must be able to establish a foothold. Even if they do not support it, maintaining a center in the process of our struggle is also a help to us; in the end, it is a chess piece for us, which is also an important variable. As long as we make this piece, the benefits are endless."

Lu Haoshan nodded repeatedly when he heard this. Li Nian analyzed it well. It seemed that he had put a lot of effort into this area, but this time he asked the master to do so.

"Zhang Rui has now gained the trust of Huang Yaozi's uncle and nephew, and has successfully provoked Huang Hongming's relationship with another important leader, and the time is almost the same." A sharp look flashed in Lu Haoshan's eyes and he said, "Mr. Li, send a message to Zhang Rui and let him take a bigger step. If you have any requirements, we will cooperate with you."

I spent a lot of manpower and material resources and did a lot of things against my will. After spending half a year, if I couldn't even take a small bandit, I might as well go home and take a shower and go to bed.

"Yes, Dongweng, students will do it right away." Li Nian responded immediately.

Lu Haoshan suddenly asked, "Mr. Li, the Shadow Secret Team has been established for so long, so it should have collected a lot of interesting things."

Knowing the importance of intelligence, Lu Haoshan established a capable intelligence team early. When he founded the intelligence team, he was reluctant to leave the Zhao family's purpose and ears. For future needs, he established an intelligence team that was not used for military purposes, which was an intelligence team that specialized in collecting unfavorable evidence from officials and wealthy families so that they could use it to threaten when appropriate.

This team is mainly composed of elite scouts and the eyes of the Zhao clan. There are no more than five people who know their identities, but there is no record on the roster. It is an intelligence team hidden in the dark, so it is also called Shadow Secret Team.

The world is as black as crows, and few officials in the late Ming Dynasty were clean.

When talking about the Shadow Secret Team, Li Nian smiled, smiling very lewdly, and said with a smile: "There are indeed many interesting things, and those materials are more than three feet high, which can be said to have taken a lot of scheming, but if these things are spread out, I wonder how many people will be unlucky."

After saying that, Li Nian gritted his teeth and said, "Those officials and noble families are graceful gentlemen on the surface, benevolent and righteous, but in fact they are robbed and prostitutes, snakes and rats, bullying men and women, and taking advantage of the situation. Many people even colluded with thieves and bandits and secretly shared the spoils, which was a very serious crime."

"Oh, it sounds quite interesting. Show me these materials."

"Yes, Dongweng."

Soon, Lu Haoshan picked up the black materials collected in the shadows and looked like they were collected. Unexpectedly, these black materials were quite rich. From generals to generals occupying military farms, colluding with bandits, to some gentry to take off ashes, to some minor officials and bosses and concubines, they all had a variety of things, which was amazing.

This black material is enough to write a dark side of humanity.

What made Lu Haoshan most curious was that there was evidence that the Shaowei generals embezzled the military farm. With these evidences, Lu Haoshan smiled like a wolf grandmother.

"Mr. Li, I heard that our Dong Jian and Dong are responsible for the military farming?"

"Yes, this military farmer is a fat man. He has so many military farms in his hands, so it's just right to hold this position."

Lu Haoshan said with a smile: "Our Chen-Sen Dong is too leisurely. It is not easy to support such a big family. Let's give him some credit and good fortune."

"What do you mean by sir?"

"Bang him, let him thoroughly investigate the restless generals of the guards and help him get a little name. Look, my subordinate is more considerate of him, hahaha." After laughing, Lu Haoshan said to himself: "If you want him to die, you will make him go crazy first. Well, it seems that you have to return to your old career."

Dongweng is so evil. Dong Jian’s butt was not clean, so he asked him to check others. Isn’t this pushing him into the kang? In addition, those farmlands are the lifebloods of those generals, and they are forbidden to take care of them. If they move them, wouldn’t those generals still hate Dong Jian to their core?

Dong Jian is Han Wendeng's brother-in-law. In this way, even Han Wendeng will hold a grudge. If something really happens to lose the support of these generals, I am afraid...

It's a good sentence, "If you want him to die, you must let him go crazy first." The boss is simply a monster. I guess he was unhappy when he secretly planned the Shadow Secret Team.

As for how Lu Haoshan implemented it, Lu Haoshan did not say it, and Li Nian did not ask. In Li Nian's heart, since Dongweng said that he would make him "crazy", he must have his own method.

Li Nian believed in this point without doubt.

The two of them conspired in the study for a long time, and then Li Nian withdrew from the study and began to do things as Lu Haoshan told him. Lu Haoshan's plan was launched in full, so there would naturally be no less preparation work, including sending a letter to the Zhao clan in Jiangyou, asking them to recruit 2,000 more people to train in the way of protecting the hospital.

After Li Nian left, Lu Haoshan breathed a sigh of relief and a look of excitement appeared on his face. He had been in the Ming Dynasty for so long and had prepared so many things. Now he finally decided to launch it in full swing, and he felt like he was missing the idea of ​​a dagger.

Taking this step, I could only walk without hesitation, because there was no way out behind me.

After sitting in the study for a while, Lu Haoshan suddenly stood up and went out without saying a word to ask someone to prepare horses. Then he rushed all the way to Wenchong Qianhu Institution. He did not rest when he arrived at Wenchong Qianhu Institution. Instead, he went straight to the Secret Weapon Research Institute to see the construction of the new muskets.

"Bang, bang, bang"

"Dang, do"

“Zi…”

As soon as we entered the institute, the sound of hammering, knocking and polishing were endless. The craftsmen performed their own duties, some casting, some polishing, some hammering butt stocks, some fine grinding needles, some saw-tail sheaths, and some test fire doors, all of them were busy. The finished products and semi-finished products of the new muskets were placed on the ground in a mess and orderly manner. Everyone worked with a focused look, and even outsiders didn't know.

Xu Xiang, the master craftsman in charge of the entire research institute, was fiddling with a new type of musket that had just been assembled in a corner, and tried to shoot from time to time. His serious expression seemed to be the only one in his world.

It is obvious that he adopted the assembly line method mentioned by Lu Haoshan, subdividing the work and then integrating it to effectively improve the quality and efficiency of the product.

Lu Haoshan signaled the craftsmen who found him to continue working, but did not go to Xu Xiang to ask questions, but retreated silently.

Not long after, Lu Haoshan returned to the backyard where he used to live, which was still there, so that he could come back to patrol at any time. After the screen was left, he took out the set of homemade tools from the hidden corner of the study, picked up the forged token of the Jinyiwei Baihu and looked at it, smiled slightly, put it aside, and picked up a small hammer of sheep horns.
