Chapter 86: The Fierce Wife
Time flies, and another four years have passed.
Lu Fan has been in Qinggang Mansion for five years.
Two years ago, Huo Qi had already been promoted to the lord of Linfu, but he had not been promoted.
This was something Lu Fan didn't expect, and as his top boss, he still stood still.
In the past two years, Lu Fan promoted Lu Feng to the lord of Qinggang Mansion, although several inspectors were dissatisfied, but no one dared to bring it up.
Just like Huo Qi was promoted to Linfu, Lu Fan did not fold.
Lord Lu Feng secretly had an affair with several young widows of the Liu family, and Lu Fan also turned a blind eye.
Having the financial support of the Liu family is also helpful to him.
In a few years, Lu Fan has two more sons.
Lu Lan, after that time, also gave birth to a son, and the eldest son of the main wife is now more than two years old. The name was Lu Lan himself named Lu Li, and Lu Fan did not raise any objections.
The main reason is that he didn't dare, in fact, Lu Fan still had a lot of complaints about this name, but he didn't dare to say it because of some irresistible reasons.
With her own efforts, Liu Yanyuying also successfully gave birth to a son, who is now half a year old. It's called Lu Mengli!
Today's Qinggang Prefecture can also be said to be thriving, and the number of casualties in each disaster is very rare, but it is rarely commended.
This made Lu Fan very depressed, in this Jiujiang County, and even in the eastern and western regions of the empire, not to mention that what has been done in the past two years is the best, but it is also the biggest change, but the people above are like blind people, turning a blind eye!
In the past three years, although the empire is still strong, it has been plagued by external troubles, and the border troubles of Northern Mongolia have been continuous, often harassing the empire.
During these three years, the empire waged more than a dozen wars, half of which were waged against Mongolia, and the rest were waged against the vassal states around the empire.
Only one of them was a battle to defend the Luo Yun Empire, although the battle was prepared in advance, but it still underestimated the urgent need of those barbarians for food, a surprise attack overnight, breaking ten cities in the northeast of the empire, after the imperial army reacted, they wanted to increase their troops to surround it, but the enemy had already retreated, and Luo Yun was full of money in that battle.
The Imperial Army was flanked back and forth, and the Luo Yun Empire army and the Empire had a fierce battle, because the Luo Yun Empire was alone in the depths, and fought and retreated, but the materials were not left behind, only more than 9,000 people were lost.
Although the empire occupied all the geographical advantages and people, it only fought a fair battle, but at the beginning, the casualties were large, and in the end the empire suffered more than 30,000 casualties.
The generals also lost most of their ......
During these three years, according to the Empire, as many as 50,000 soldiers were killed.
The empire's prestige has reached an unprecedented height, but in order to better control the empire, the emperor sent his princes to various places, leaving only the young princes by his side.
However, it is rumored that the emperor's body is gradually losing weight, and it seems that his body has been sick, but the emperor is in the prime of life, and no one dares to discuss the establishment of the prince.
*****
Lu Fan looked at the reports coming one after another, Lu Fan felt that his opportunity might be coming, although there was no chaos in the world now, but there had been wars for many years, and it seemed that the prophecy of 'Zhu Yan's appearance had come true.
In the past three years, Lu Fan has arranged a clan of the Peerless Shadow Tribe in that vast swamp, and at the same time selected a group of children who do not remember to train......
Now Lu Fan saw the official document delivered, and there was a letter on it, and the official seal stamped on the official document was stamped.
This time, Lu Fan was promoted to Jiujiang County's regimental training envoy and patrol envoy.
When Lu Fan opened the envelope, he found that the letter turned out to be a letter from the four princes, in which he praised himself, and also mentioned the next election of the head of Qinggang Mansion...... This is an unfathomable prince!
This regimental training official position of his own regiment, but the empire is newly established according to the current form, and he can command 800 to 1,500 people, which is a promotion, but now it is just an empty promise, and now there are still no people, and there is no real power of the lord of the house.
Lu Fan has been an official for many years, and he knows that it is not easy to raise soldiers, and the above promise is only enough to support the expenses of 800 sergeants for a year, but at the beginning, the regimental training camp has not been selected, and there is no stone to build, which will be another expense.
Where did all this money come from, Lu Fan thought about it for a long time, and didn't know what to do......
Lu Fan thought that he would receive the appointment, and according to the rules of the empire, there would be nearly a month between leaving office and taking office, so it was better to establish a regimental training headquarters in Qinggang Mansion in the place he chose.
In this way, people can set up a simple camp at this time, and at the same time, they can use the identity of the current government lord to join some government soldiers into the regimental training system at the same time, so that the government soldiers can receive a sum of money as a subsidy in other Fenglu, so that more soldiers can be raised with a small amount of money.
In this way, not only can we gather enough 800 soldiers, but we can also feed another 100 soldiers.
............
In half a month, on the side of the mountain road outside Qinggang Mansion, a small coaching ground was repaired, and now Lu Fan no longer asks about the size of Qinggang Mansion.
Soon Lu Feng succeeded as the new lord of Qinggang Mansion, the original warden was promoted to the chief bookkeeper, the original Lu Lan and Liu Yan Yuying also joined the corps, and the other four inspectors also joined the corps in a dual capacity, and each of them was nominally equivalent to being promoted to centurion
But the fact is still the same, there are not many people who can be appointed, and Lu Fan is now not only a regimental training envoy but also an inspection envoy.
"Inspector Envoy, you have to give us a few kind words in the future, my subordinates have all been dug up by you," Lu Feng said to Lu Fan happily.
"Huh, you kid...... Really! I don't have as much power as you in this listed position, so I can talk about cool things," Lu Fan scolded...
............
Due to Lu Fan's tenure, Qinggang Mansion gradually moved towards a better life, so he still has a good reputation.
Everything was arranged, Lu Fan and Lu Feng's government affairs were completely handed over, and Lu Fan, the regimental training envoy, also went to inspect every day, but the training results were not very ideal, Lu Fan had the intention to train the soldiers well, but he had no choice but to take over as soon as Lu Fan took over, and he held two positions, so he had no time to separate.
Lu Fan's idea was to first go to the surrounding areas of Qinggang Mansion to inspect now, and then come back to find a way to train and form a corps.
"I heard that you want to hand over the daily training of the Corps to someone else?" Lu Lan walked briskly and asked directly.
"It's... Target...... Is there any problem?" Lu Fan asked cautiously.
For Lu Lan, Lu Fan has always been very entangled in his heart, and he is really a little worried, looking at Lu Lan's neutral dress, Lu Fan doesn't dare to say anything even if he has any thoughts in his heart.
"Why don't you discuss such a big matter with me!" Lu Lan said angrily
"You didn't ask...... Lu Fan said with a smile,
But in my heart, I thought that I was the head of the family, and I was the regimental training envoy, so why should I tell you, who do you think you are? Dare to interfere in my affairs!
But Lu Fan would never dare to say these thoughts in his heart
"Didn't I ask now!"
"And what do you mean now?"
"I don't think you have found the right person right now, but now you have a suitable person in front of you!"
didn't give Lu Fan a chance to speak at all, so he directly took over the matter.
"But...... I've ......"
"You just say whether you use it or not, give a happy word!"
Lu Fan looked at the angry Lu Lan's neck and shrank slightly unconsciously, and said, "Since you have spoken, you are responsible!"
"Even if you have the wisdom to know people, in that case, then give me the talisman!"
“......”
"Hurry up and ......"
"What kind of talisman, I don't have anything......" Lu Fan looked at Lu Lan with a confused expression
Lu Lanxiu's eyes froze, and her face changed slightly, "To give or not to give......"
"That...... No, I've already agreed to you taking over the training of soldiers, so there's no need for this, right?"
"Don't you trust me?"
"No! No......"
"So what are you waiting for......
Lu Fan reluctantly took out the talisman and said, "Don't lose it, I will have to rely on it to transfer troops in the future......"
"Got it!" it's really verbose......" After speaking, Lu Lan turned his head and muttered as he walked: "What an ugly talisman, I thought it was jade, but it turned out to be a piece of broken iron ......."
"If you have the ability, you can get a piece of jade......" Lu Fan pursed his lips and said disapprenanently
"What are you talking about......" Lu Lan's voice came from outside the door
"Uh...... Nothing, nothing!"
After a while, Lu Fan didn't hear a sound, patted his head gently, and sighed again
............
After a few more days, Lu Fan watched Lu Lan training in the camp every day, which was not 'brutal', and with Liu Yanyuying by his side to assist, it was also reassuring.
..................
On the rugged mountain road, Lu Fan rode on a white hornebeest with a few accompanying soldiers, but this trip was not fanfare, but a very low-key trip.
Several soldiers around him were from the Peerless Tribe, and this time, Lu Fan only brought Chunyun and Qiu Tan, as well as the feathered wolf that couldn't be shaken off.
Before leaving, Lu Fan specially instructed everyone, hoping that the family would not fight during the time he left, although the family had an unreliable father, but Lu Fan was still not at ease. What's more, there is also a similarly smelly Dao Wuji!
Now Lu Fan rarely makes a carriage, and sitting on a horneer can not only see the scenery along the way, but also feel the breath of nature.
The roadside was full of weeping willows, and it took a few people five or six people to carry them, but now the willows have long been hollow, and only a layer of bark is left to support them, and they are full of snakes and insects.
