"What?" Kyoko Fukada's eyes widened in surprise.

Lu Ning knew from Niwa Chengxing's mouth that Ono's deputy on the right gate and his nephew, Ono Yoshiko's eldest grandson Ono Bingwei, led about 1,000 people, and had arrived at the Jingnokouzha more than 40 miles northwest, and agreed with Niwa Chengxing that if Fujiwara Qimin did not expel the Qi people, Ono Army would take matters into his own hands.

Lu Ning proposed that he should cross the river to attack the Ono Guards at the mouth of the well.

This took Kyoko Fukada by surprise.

The mouth of the well, located on the north bank of the Kiso River at the foot of Mt. Inaba, is a large town that radiates throughout Mino Province.

Lu Ning also knew that the Inabayama Castle built next to the mouth of the well in history, and Gifu Castle, which was later renamed, was the main castle where Oda Nobunaga began to "take the world to Bubu", which also shows the importance of the geographical location here.

Seeing Kyoko Fukada's suspicious gaze, Lu Ning knew that she must be doubting her intentions.

I don't say whether this attack will be effective, but it will definitely make Ono Youmen lead his broken soldiers and horses to crusade against Owari Province and become famous.

And she may still be planning for Qi people as a whole, and just want to create some trouble in the rear of Ono's ancient army to contain the rear army of Ono Haogu's army, without really thinking about her and Qi Min's situation.

is a fiasco, and he and a group of people can also escape by sea.

"No, before the letter arrives in Kyoto and before I get a reply from Minister Zuo, I don't want to have a direct conflict with the Ono Army!" Kyoko Fukada bit her red lip and categorically rejected Lu Ning's proposal.

Lu Ning smiled, and didn't say any more, as the head of the mercenaries, it is indeed not good for him to act as a substitute, and his own suggestions are indeed radical, which is not good for stigmatizing the Oye Army.

I should have patiently watched Kyoto's Fujiwara Minori perform, how to turn Ono Yoshiko and Minamoto Takaaki and other main battle factions into "countercurrents", once they were truly stigmatized, Yang Ye led his army and horses to defeat the Ono army in a beautiful big victory, and the situation in the east became clear from then on.

Here, see the stitches and insert the needle, and cooperate with Yang Yebu to fight.

And his proposal to attack the Ono Army now is indeed not the most clever strategy, the main thing is that he is too idle, and it is really not challenging to follow Kyoko Fukada to bully the local tyrants in Owari around the country.

And if the Ono Army took the initiative to attack Owari Province, it would be a different situation.

After all, Fujiwara Saitoshi was appointed in the name of the emperor to Owari Kunimori.

Kyoko Fukada, who had already set her eyes on Niwa Chengyuki, who was on the ground, frowned and said: "Niwa County, it's hard to subdue, but this guy, it's a pity to cut it." ”

Although Niwa Chengxing was bound by ropes and dragged and pulled all over the mud, looking at his cold expression, he was not ready to give in and become Qi Min's retainer.

And the big and small lords of Niwa Prefecture are almost all the only ones who look at him.

If he were to be executed directly, there might be some changes, or worse effects.

After all, Niwa Chengxing is still an internal official, and it is the great leader of Niwa County.

Lu Ning glanced at Niwa Chengxing a few times and said, "He intends to murder Mrs. Guoshi, so he will be taken back to Qingzhou City and imprisoned first, and see what his relatives say." ”

Kyoko Fukada bowed her head slightly.

……

The Owari Kunigami Embassy, near Minato Town, has a Central Plains-style house, but many houses, including castle-like walls, are now scarce of Toei blue bricks, and they are also produced in the Kyoto area, and they are built as a defensive structure of the Owari Upper Embassy, and more of them are built with stones.

With the envoys who came and stationed in the courtyard of the upper embassy, there are also a hundred soldiers as a defense force, which is the real Qi people, and now, it is the hundred musket servants who come here, and they can secretly listen to Lu Ning's orders at any time, and if they are normalized in the future, if they change the guard, they will be replaced by Qi people from other capitals.

Liu Ying, the head of the musket army, and Yang Ye, the commander of Anton, and Fu Qian, the commander of the Xuanfu battalion, were the only three people in the army who knew Lu Ning's true identity.

On the surface, there is no connection between Lu Ning and the Upper Embassy.

But I didn't want to, Lu Ning had just returned from Niwa County, and was thinking about how to spend the Spring Festival the day after tomorrow, when a messenger came from the upper embassy, saying that it was a family letter from the Central Plains, but in fact, the messenger was pretended to be by Liu Ying.

Needless to say, it is natural to have its own military information that you must know, after all, the national situation summary letter that comes from Bianjing once every three months has already been seen last month.

Sure enough, the letterhead was written by Yongning, saying that there was a rebellion in northern Liaoning, mainly because Daqi, according to Lu Ning's earlier plan, carried out large-scale migration in eastern Liaodong and northeastern Liaodong in a few months, disrupting its original tribal power structure, changing the population composition, and artificially creating contradictions between some tribes.

It may be that under the instigation of Yeluxian, the king of Liaobei, some tribes refused to submit to indoctrination and refused to migrate, and the tribes that had been allowed by the Qi people to migrate to these more grassy and fertile places clashed with these tribes, and soon, the tribal chaos turned into rebellion.

However, Yongning said that preparations had been made for a long time, and it would not be difficult for the Hebei Army, the Liaodong Army, the Beining Army, and the armed forces of several major Huangzhuang outside the Saiwai Dynasty to quell the chaos, and they would even take the opportunity to further beat Yeluqi and cut another piece of meat from Beiliao.

At the same time, further suppress the rebellious tribes and break their backbones.

Speaking of which, when this letter was sent from Bianjing, it was last month.

Lu Ning looked at the letter and smiled slightly, okay, just take a look at what the counterinsurgency battle would be like without his own participation.

The counterinsurgency will be victorious, Lu Ning did not have the slightest doubt about this.

The commanders of several large battalions are all famous generals in the world, plus the empire is like the expansion period of the rising sun, which has just completely defeated the prestige and morale of the Khitan, the elite border soldiers who have experienced a hundred battles, and all kinds of exquisite ordnance, if you still lose to the scattered and fragile tribal alliance that has been greatly damaged and has begun to fear the Central Plains, then you should not return to the Central Plains, indicating that more than ten years of hard work are all in vain, and you will pass away one day, if the great empire will disappear immediately, so, you might as well find a place to live in seclusion, save worry and effort.

If I am not there, I don't need to look at the data of the bloody massacre, as a guest of later generations, I still feel a little uncomfortable when I see those images that are like a mountain of bloody human heads.

After burning the letter, Lu Ning got up and walked out of the study, there were still a few pieces of ice floe on the blue lake outside, and there was already faint greenery on the lakeside.

The small stone road that winds into the bamboo forest, the real winter Ji Da rushed over.

"Brother Ban, on the twentieth day of the first month, the condolence group sent by the Military Art Corps in Bianjing will come to Owari to have a party with the local officials and people, and there will be a grand banquet at the embassy at that time, Brother Ban, will you go with me then?" Mayuhime looks much more alive than before.,More youthful and energetic.,Coupled with the unique cute red and white witch dress.,The beautiful girl exudes a unique pure charm.。

Lu Ning smiled, "Okay." ”

Nowadays, the military art team has been gradually regularized, and all of them belong to the inner government, but all of them are military status.

Although there are military art sub-regiments in the major battalions, they are not under the management of the local battalions, but directly belong to the military art corps in the capital.

Because Yongning said that if all the major battalions set up military art teams and belong to the major battalions, I am afraid that it will become a cave of ecstasy for the major battalions to recruit envoys and officers at all levels, and in this way, time will go by, especially after a few decades of Chengping, when it comes to future generations, it will become the culprit of disintegrating the combat effectiveness of the forbidden army.

Lu Ning thought about it, after all, it is the current era, and the military art team originally hoped to entertain the officers and soldiers, boost morale, and at the same time instill the patriotic idea of loyalty to the monarch through various programs, but if you let go of the lower parts to do it, it is inevitable that it will be out of shape, and it is easy to turn into a person who deliberately tempts people to commit crimes, deliberately sets traps, and tests generals at all levels, it will be very stupid.

Therefore, according to Yongning's words, a military art corps was set up in Bianjing, and although each forbidden army garrison had sub-regiments, it was vertically managed by the corps and had nothing to do with the locality.

As for the condolence team of the general regiment to Dongying, this is also a routine operation, after all, it is the New Year, and the soldiers of the expedition need to be rewarded.

Lu Ning specifically doesn't know when the condolence group will arrive, not to mention his current identity, if all kinds of cumbersome things have to be reported one by one, it is easy to be exposed, even if he is the Son of Heaven, the affairs that form a certain rule are no longer on his desk at all, he used to be done by the cabinet, and now Yongning has a look.

The twentieth day of the first month will come to Owari, the Spring Festival, the Lantern Festival, etc., naturally to leave to the Kanto, Echigo and other front-line garrisons, to Owari country, mainly to declare friendship, the time is naturally postponed, of course, the so-called declaration of friendship, in fact, not only all kinds of programs will present the prosperity of the Great Qi Dynasty, but also bring a different humanistic impact.

Seeing that Lu Ning agreed, Zhen Dongji smiled even more happily.

"What have you been up to lately? Watch you go out early and return late every day. Lu Ning asked with a smile.

"Help the Emperor of Heaven teach alms to the poor, and also, build a college here to teach the Central Plains script." Speaking of what she has done recently, Madong Ji's pretty face is full of light.

Lu Ning smiled, but it was that many times, helping the disadvantaged was a thing that could stimulate human satisfaction.

"Brother Ban, the day after tomorrow is the Spring Festival, we have to set up a porridge shop and porridge, I will take Jizi and Zizi to go, they chat with me every day, and they can envy what I do." Madong asked with some hesitation.

Lu Ning smiled, I don't know if the real winter Ji is going to change from a dark ninja to a stupid white sweet, but Jizi and Zizi definitely have the potential of stupid white sweetness, or rather, they were originally educated by stupid white sweetness, and they are two stupid white sweets.

"Whatever, they were originally free, just living here." Lu Ning spread his hands.

"Oh, and also, Kyoko wrote me a letter, hoping that I would help her to explain to Tokai Hyakyuki and provide some more mercenaries, because she was worried that the Kansai army would enter Owari." Madong Ji blinked her big eyes,

Lu Ning was stunned, Kyoko Fukada didn't tell herself about it, of course, there was some facelessness.

After all, the two of them were incompatible.

Now because the real winter Ji has a use value, Kyoko Fukada naturally put down her body and even begged the real winter hime, this woman is powerful, can bend and stretch.

Although outsiders may not understand, he and Kyoko Fukada, as the parties concerned, both understand that Shin Fuyuhime was appointed deputy envoy of the embassy on Owari, which is more of a decoration and compensation, and it is also to appease the Kanto Imperial Leader Toyoda Nakaren.

But after all, as the deputy envoy of the Imperial Embassy, he is an official official of the Qi State Cong Wupin, and he will have contact with the high-ranking officials of the Qi people, so Kyoko Fukada will naturally use all the connections that he can use.

"Brother Ban, let's have dinner together?" Mayuhime asked again.

Lu Ning smiled, "Kyoko Fukada has a banquet for guests from Kyoto tonight. He glanced at Mayuhime, "If you have nothing to do, let's go together." ”

Matohime smiled and said yes.

……

The guest from Kyoto is called Fujihara Bun, and when he sits there, he looks like he is from the family of the secretary of Kyoto, with luxurious black clothes, high hats, and some miserable white skin, and his gestures make Lu Ning faintly think of Yang Zhao.

But his spirit is far worse than Yang Zhao, and it looks like he can't wake up at all.

Kyoko Fukada and Fujihara Fan sat opposite each other from a distance, Lu Ning and Madong Ji sat next to each other, a small table in front of each person, with all kinds of vegetarian food, and there was not a piece of meat, obviously it was the taste of Fujihara Bun, the Kyoto aristocracy, with vegetarianism as a virtue and appetite as a sin, in Lu Ning's opinion, I am afraid that it is a bunch of malnutrition, and I heard that these nobles have a lot of "drinking water diseases", that is, diabetes in later generations, which is obviously caused by an extremely unscientific dietary structure.

The main thing is that Kyoko Fukada chats with Fujihara Fan.

Lu Ning and Zhen Dongji sat very close to each other, whispering to themselves.

Kyoko Fukada didn't know what the considerations were, and she didn't introduce the identities of Lu Ning and Madong Hime, but it seemed that the two of them were Kyoko Fukada's side, the high-status servant and the witch of the family shrine, so they were able to accompany each other.

However, from the content of the conversation between Fujihara and Kyoko Fukada, Lu Ning gradually heard it.

Fujihara Hara Fan was sent by the left minister Fujiwara Minori, that is, Kyoko Fukada's father-in-law, to help his son Qi Min take charge of the overall situation.

Obviously, Fujiwara Minori is not unaware that his daughter-in-law is ambitious, and his son can't be a family at all, especially when Kyoko Fukada promised Qi people to set up an embassy in Owari Province, which also belongs to the first cut and then the play, which caused Fujiwara Minori's dissatisfaction.

And although Fujihara Fan looks like he can't wake up, and his speech is even more slow and soft, but he is obviously not a simple person, and he sees the problem very sharply, and when he removes the plate and starts to enjoy the fruit, the content of his chats with Kyoko Fukada becomes more and more extensive.

"The Falcon Regiment will be hired by Minister Zuo at the expense of Minister Zuo in the future, and I will directly order them." Fujihara Fan said suddenly, and his sleepy eyes suddenly sharpened.

Kyoko Fukada picked up the fragrant tea and said lightly: "Okay, with you assisting Qi Min, I am also relieved." ”

Lu Ning was holding the orange, but he was thinking about his own affairs, as for fighting for power and profit with people, he didn't bother to pay attention to it, the agents and allies that the Great Qi State needed in Kanto and Kyoto, or puppets, were still full of uncertainty, and it didn't matter who it was.
