The arrival of Li Hualong caused a whirlwind in Banzhou, and all the toasts began to be impetuous, and everyone felt in their hearts that the imperial court might not easily mobilize troops against Banzhou, but now, should it also be close to the imperial court?

When Yang Yinglong received the news that Zhang Bonan had quietly gone to see Qincha, he was extremely unusually not angry, but called his eldest son Yang Chaodong into the house.

Yang Chaodong entered the house in a daze, he didn't understand a little, although the Zhang family made such a big move, and finally made the imperial court pay attention to the small place of Qibanzhou, but Pai Qin sent down not to meet the Yang family directly, but to contact the clan Tusi below, what does this mean? Is it to encourage the old clans and toasts below to rebel?

Yang Yinglong looked at his eldest son deeply, helped him smooth out the wrinkles on his clothes, supported his shoulders, pressed him to the chair and sat down, and then said: "You are not my sister-in-law, just my eldest son, but do you know why I have to work hard to cultivate you?" ”

Yang Chaodong lowered his head, he didn't know that Yang Yinglong had a total of three sons, the youngest son Yang Yu was just a few years old, and Yang Tiansheng was a nerd, so he was the only suitable candidate. But over the years, although his father deliberately let him take over some things in government affairs, he rarely communicated with him emotionally, let alone had a deep conversation between father and son. Today, his father suddenly became so affectionate to him and took things so solemnly, which really flattered him.

"My Yang family, who has ruled Banzhou for hundreds of years, has long lost ambition and fighting spirit, and my ancestors have been guarding this sesame place for generations! I have long expected the chaos in Banzhou, those toasts will not succumb to the Yang family forever, and they will unite against us sooner or later. If you want to make a good toast in this place, you must be ruthless! Saying this, Yang Yinglong straightened up, slowly walked to the window with his hands behind his back, and stared out with his eyes.

"I know that the toasts say that I am arrogant and domineering, and what they oppose is not actually me, but my current position. Hundreds of years! My Yang clan, but I still have the ambition to dominate the world?! Look at the juniors! What do you think about all day? Arrogant and extravagant, do everything, in the long run, the ruin of my Yang family is just around the corner! He suddenly became excited, pointing to the Yang family children who were playing with the woman outside the window, and his hands kept shaking.

"The Yang family is like this, how can they complain that others are too ambitious? I can only blame myself for not having the ability! I knew they wouldn't be able to bear it, but I didn't expect even your aunt to be so ambitious! His eyes suddenly became sharp, "These jumping clowns, since they want to jump, then jump enough!" Banshu, it's time for a mess! ”

Yang Chaodong looked at his father in disbelief, he didn't expect his father's thinking to be so far-reaching, no wonder he let his eldest mother be powerful at home, no wonder he was silent about himself and the nonsense he was born outside, he was paving the way for what he wanted to do!

Yang Yinglong turned around and stared at his son: "I haven't cared about you since I was a child, that's because Banzhou's new toast doesn't need too much emotional entanglement!" Since I was a child, I deliberately asked you to do something, and that was because the new Toji of Banshu had to be familiar with every piece of land here! Since I was a child, I have made you study the military book hard, and I invited you to Xixi, so that you can lead the troops to fight and be able to lead the 600,000 people of Banzhou to live a well-fed life! ”

"From now on, Banshu can't be ruled together by seven toasts! There can only be one family in this place, and that is my Yang family; There can only be one big toast, and that is you, my son! I'm old, I can no longer lead troops to fight in the north and south, I will pave the last road for you to completely eradicate the other six toasts, and it's up to you how to go on the rest of the road! ”

Looking at his father's determined gaze, Yang Chaodong felt that he was oppressed and breathless for a moment: "Dad! Son...... The son is really powerless! With the war in Banzhou, the 600,000 people who were most hurt were still the hardest! If...... If it is defeated, then my Yang family will have no way out; If you win, the people's hearts will be lost, although the victory is still defeated! Father! The top priority is to contact the imperial court and eradicate the six major toasts with the help of the imperial court, as long as they are destroyed by the imperial court, isn't Banzhou still our family? ”

With his son's panicked expression and naïve thoughts, Yang Yinglong only felt that the world was spinning. It seems that he made one of the biggest mistakes, that is, to make him accept the set of ideas of Confucianism in the Central Plains

Think, the kind of thought that would rather be a slave! He burst out laughing, tears of laughter. Yang Chaodong looked at his father blankly, thinking that he had gone crazy, with the power of the Yang family, how could he eradicate the six major toasts?

"The Imperial Court? Can the court be trusted? You don't know yet, the emperor hasn't been in court for many years! Even Shousuke doesn't know how many he has changed! What do you think it can be relied on? If nothing else, let's just say that Tan Xisi, the governor of Sichuan, is greedy and has been trying in vain to put my Banzhou under his rule. A few years ago, the concubine Niangniang was on the throne of the concubine, and there was no need for sandalwood to make furniture, it was this Tan Xisi, who said to the emperor that the sandalwood in Banzhou is famous far and wide, so it is better to let them pay tribute to the high-quality sandalwood? That's why it caused thousands of deaths and injuries in my Banzhou! Last year's earthquake transferred countless carpenters and craftsmen from my Banzhou, and this is building a palace for Jingshi? This is pumping my old bottom in Banzhou! Who doesn't know that our carpenters and craftsmen in Banshu are the foundation of Banshu's life here? Who doesn't know that the sandalwood forest in Banshu is the foundation of the people's survival? Without sandalwood, who will do business with us? What to feed these 600,000 mouths? ”

Yang Yinglong was so angry that he overturned the table. He always thought that this eldest son could take over his post and continue to guard here, but the eldest son's idea was so naïve and naïve! By the imperial court? It's ridiculous!

Yang Chaodong was stupid. He didn't expect that Tan Xisi would have such an idea! You can use the hands of the imperial court to eradicate the six toasts, what's not to do? I have been loyal to the Ming Dynasty for generations, could it be that those toasts are more popular with the court than our Yang family?

"You remember to me, it is because our Yang family has been in Banzhou for too long that the imperial court will not tolerate us more and more; The local government will clamp us down more and more! Until the day when the Yang family is completely defeated, they will swagger and take over the entire Banju! Yang Yinglong shouted at his son. At this point, can't he still see the situation clearly? The worse the strength of the Yang family, the less polite the court will be to them; The stronger the Yang family, the more the emperor of the Ming Dynasty had to consider the cost of attacking Banzhou before he sat down to negotiate. Strength, strength can determine everything!

Like an initiation, Yang Chaodong's eyes suddenly brightened. Only by cleaning up the six toasts first can he have the capital to negotiate with the imperial court, otherwise the imperial court will not have a chance to turn over no matter which toast he supports! If you are outside, you must first settle inside, and if you are restless, it will be difficult to get rid of the thieves outside!

His whole body suddenly broke out in a cold sweat! I was still fooled by those teaching gentlemen in the Central Plains before! What bullshit Confucius said Mencius said, it's all bullshit, saying a thousand things and ten thousand just to let the Yang family give Banzhou to the imperial court, and then wash their necks and wait for the knife to be cut off!

How can this work? He suddenly thought of something: "Dad! That Zhang Bonan had secretly gone to see the Qin Cha ......"

Yang Yinglong waved his hand irritably, he already knew about it. Zhang's movements are really fast, so anxious to catch up with Qincha, just to be able to become a big toast? Can his Zhang family cover the sky in Banzhou? My Yang family's hundred-year-old family, how could I be yin by a Zhang family?

He beckoned, asked Yang Chaodong to come over with his ear, and said softly: "Let's ...... like this"

After Li Hualong met Zhang Bonan, he never went to see any toast, but brought a subordinate himself, wandering around Banzhou in a leisurely manner, and some folk characteristics and snacks were all over, and he had a general understanding of the customs and folklore of Banzhou. This Yang family is really deep-rooted, almost every village village and the military leader of the tribe are members of the Yang family, even the roads between villages, and even the hub connecting Banzhou with the outside world, they have their figures. In order to achieve the goal of controlling the entire Banzhou, even the county school added the history of the struggle of the Yang family, and praised their ancestors as the founding emperor, without the Yang family, there would be no current Banzhou; Without the Yang family, there would be no happy life for the people now; Without the Yang family, there would be no fine tradition of not leaving the road untouched and not closing the door at night.

Although Yang Yinglong has no objection, he has long been opposed. But fortunately, this person is not very ambitious, if he still wants to step the Yang family's footsteps to the neighboring Sichuan-Guizhou provinces, it will definitely become a big trouble for my Ming henchmen! Sichuan is the land of Bashu, which has been the granary and rear of the Central Plains Dynasty since ancient times; Guizhou's strategic position is extremely important, if it is lost, there is no danger to defend in the west of the Ming Dynasty! Moreover, Banzhou is bordered by Guizhou in the north, the edge of the Sichuan Basin in the southwest, and Huguang not far to the southeast...... The more Li Hualong thought about it, the more frightened he felt. This Yang family can no longer stay! If it weren't for the Yang family's ancestors, the ancestors really couldn't take down this place.

This place is full of mountains, there are only a few hills, the important grain-producing areas are there, and at the junction with Guizhou is an endless primeval forest; There are several natural hazards in the place where you go to Sichuan, it is easy to go to Sichuan, but it is difficult to come in from Sichuan; The direction of Huguang is a continuous deep mountain...... If you want to fight, then you can only concentrate your forces to attack the direction of Huguang and enter from the path, but Li Hualong can imagine what a price you have to pay!
