In the eleventh year of orthodoxy, in the second half of the first month, Yushan Town.

Just after the New Year, every household in Yushan Town was still immersed in the joy of the New Year, and Liu Juntao began to get busy, making various preparations for leading his troops to attack the Kong family.

And Hu Dexing, who returned to Huakou Town, was not idle, and walked around with Sun Xu and Meng Fanchen, I don't know what the three of them are busy with, but they move around frequently with the people in various places, and the three of them have been floating around for more than ten days.

On this day, the snow was falling and the cold wind was howling, and the entire Yushan Town was draped in a snow-white cloak.

But Hu Dexing rode a horse and braved the wind and snow to come to Yushan Town alone, and when he knocked on the door of Liu Juntao's house, Hu Dexing turned into a snowman.

Liu Juntao looked at Hu Dexing, who came in the snow, and was also a little surprised in his heart, and hurriedly pulled Hu Dexing, who was already frozen, into the house.

As soon as the two sat down, Liu Juntao asked, "Brother Hu, this ghost weather is still coming, is there something important?" ”

"It's a little something, don't talk about it yet, get me some wine, this damn weather, it's so fucking cold!"

Liu Juntao hurriedly poured a bowl of wine for Hu Dexing, and Hu Dexing drank it all as soon as he raised his neck, and his face suddenly recovered some blood.

"Good wine! Joyfully! ”

"Brother Hu, let's say, what's going on?"

After Hu Dexing finished drinking, his body also eased up, so he took off the felt hat on his head, and said: "Jun Tao, I left the hundred households with Sun Xu and Meng Fanchen, and now I have become a black household, and there is nowhere to go, you have to take in the three of us!" ”

Liu Juntao was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "Brother Hu, don't worry, as long as you come over, Yushan Town will be your home!" ”

"I'm just worried that it will affect you and Yushan Town."

Liu Juntao knew that the guards of the Ming Dynasty were all composed of military households, and these military households had to serve in the army for generations to become soldiers of the guards, and no one was allowed to leave the military household registration unless he became the secretary of the military department, otherwise he could only be a guard soldier for the rest of his life.

According to Liu Juntao's knowledge, in the end of the Ming Dynasty, only Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant of Wanli, successfully broke away from the military household registration by virtue of his status as the secretary of the military department and the first assistant of the cabinet, and there is only one person in the entire Ming Dynasty!

Now that Hu Dexing, Sun Xu and Meng Fanchen have left the Baihu House without authorization, the imperial court will definitely investigate it, and there may be something to deal with in the future.

However, with Liu Juntao's current power, this matter is not a problem! What's more, now that almost all the officials and troops in Shandong have gone north, Liu Juntao estimates that the government will not make a big deal for Hu Dexing, Sun Xu, and Meng Fanchen, at best, it is just a formality.

"Brother Hu, where are these words? We are brothers, you are home with me, what is there to do or not! ”

"Haha! Good! I knew Jun Tao wouldn't leave us alone! ”

Then, Hu Dexing shifted the topic to the Kong family and said, "Juntao, when are you going to do it?" ”

Liu Juntao groaned for a while and said, "I'm going to do it in a month!" ”

"How many men are Jun Tao going to dispatch this time?"

"It's enough to only dispatch the Central Military Department, with the orthodox nine-year-old bird gun, there is no need to fight for the number of people, the strength of the Central Military Department is enough!"

Hu Dexing nodded and said, "Since this is the case, then I will take Sun Xu and Meng Fanchen to the south with you, and it can be regarded as a letter of nomination for the three of us who have just arrived!" ”

Liu Juntao said with a smile: "If Brother Hu brings someone to join, then this matter will be easier to handle!" I expect that Kong Sancai will definitely lose his fortune! ”

After speaking, Liu Juntao and Hu Dexing both raised their heads and laughed.

Hu Dexing said: "As the old saying goes: decide to seek wealth and danger!" Jun Tao, this time I have asked Sun Xu and Meng Fanchen to contact some people, they are all some of the people we have made over the years. Half a month later, we will bring our men and horses to meet in Yushan Town, and we will be at your disposal! ”

Liu Juntao was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "Okay! When the time comes, I will cover the food and salary of these heroes! ”

At this time, the big thing had been decided, Hu Dexing had some gossip with Liu Juntao again, and hurriedly went back to gather people.

After Hu Dexing left, Liu Juntao summoned Guo Yongzhong, Zhang Baigui, Tang Yu, Gao Ran, and Liu Zian to discuss at home.

In this attack on the Kong family, Liu Juntao only planned to use the people of the Central Military Department directly under his command, Zhang Xiaojun's department, Yan Hu's department, and Chen Ziping's department each guarded their own places, and Gao Ran guarded Yushan Town.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Liu Juntao told him about going south to Ningyang County after a month.

As soon as the words fell, Guo Yongzhong and Zhang Baigui spoke out against it, and the two still hoped that Liu Juntao would try not to use force. And Tang Yu and Gao Ran didn't say a word, and the two were obviously reluctant to fight with the Kong family, but they just didn't speak.

As for Liu Zi'an, he is the only one who obeys Liu Juntao and has no opinions.

Guo Yongzhong said bitterly: "Jun Tao, I understand that the Kong family has gone too far to frame our Yushan Town, but it can't be directly attacked because of this." Although Kong Sancai has been expelled from the family tree by Yan Shenggong, he also has the bloodline of Yan Shenggong, and we can't move lightly! ”

Zhang Baigui also said: "What is Yan Shenggong? That's Taoism! Even if Kong San is guilty, then it should be dealt with by Yan Shenggong, I think we should send someone to ask to see Yan Shenggong? ”

Tang Yu and Gao Ran also nodded frequently, obviously agreeing with Guo Yongzhong and Zhang Baigui's opinions.

Liu Juntao listened to everyone's words and understood that Yan Shenggong at this time was faith for everyone, and it was unshakable. Therefore, if you want to convince everyone, you must first shake the faith of Yan Shenggong!

So, Liu Juntao said very indifferently: "Everyone has great respect for the Yan Shenggong family, so I can't say anything." But have you all thought about it, the line of Yan Shenggong has flourished for thousands of years since the Confucian sage, and in such a long time, the imperial court on the land of China has changed countless times, and the emperors on the Jinluan Palace have also changed countless times, but the Yan Shenggong family has always sat firmly on Mount Tai! ”

"Humph! The flowing court, the iron-clad Yan Shenggong! ”

Liu Juntao said very contemptuously, looked at everyone's faces, saw that everyone began to ponder, and knew that his words had played some role, so he continued: "Chinese orthodoxy like the Han, Tang and Song dynasties is fine, and it is reasonable for Yansheng Gong to vote for these orthodox dynasties!" However, when the land of China suffered, the Jurchens, Khitans, Mongols, and Xianbei people came and went many times, and these Tartars burned, killed, plundered, and did all kinds of evil on the land of China. ”

Speaking of this, Guo Yongzhong and Zhang Baigui's faces changed several times, and they were very ugly. Tang Yu and Gao Ran fell into deep thought, only Liu Zi'an's face was as usual, but he was quite amazed by Liu Juntao's remarks.

Liu Juntao said loudly: "Let me ask: can such a Yan Shenggong also represent the Dao system? Of course not! What is Taoism? The Taoism of China is not a certain family, but a Confucian classic that has been inherited for thousands of years, a eternal inheritance of the Han family that advocates literature and martial arts, and unremitting self-improvement, the wise sayings and indomitable spirit of the sages of the past dynasties, the tiger and wolf iron horse of the strong Tang Dynasty, and the iron bone of the Great Song Dynasty Yashan! Instead of the soft bones of Hu to descend Hu and Tartar to descend! ”

Liu Juntao's words were like a thunderclap, which exploded in the hearts of Guo Yongzhong, Zhang Baigui, Tang Yu, and Gao Ran, and blew everyone's awe of Yan Shenggong into pieces!

Liu Zi'an laughed and said, "Okay! Lian always said it well! How can such a spineless Yan Shenggong represent the Taoist system? How can it represent my thousands of years of China! ”

Guo Yongzhong and Zhang Baigui glanced at each other, both of them sighed heavily, and stopped talking, obviously acquiescing to Liu Juntao's words, and no longer objected to a full-scale fight with Kong Sancai.

Tang Yu also arched his hand and said to Liu Juntao: "In short, the words are deafening, which makes people ponder a lot, Tang Yu has been taught!" ”

And Gao Ran was more direct and said loudly: "Mr. Lian is right!" What a holy father, soft bones! Mr. Lian just rest assured that he will go south, our Yushan Town is garrisoned by me and my brothers, and it is foolproof! ”

Liu Juntao saw that everyone's opinions were unanimous, so he smiled and said, "Okay! Liu Zi'an listened to the order: immediately deliver the news to Zhang Xiaojun, Yan Hu, and Chen Ziping, and let everyone strictly guard the garrison and guard against possible attacks by the Kong family at any time! ”

Liu Zi'an clenched his fists and said, "Order!" ”

"Master Zhang, immediately mobilize a batch of custom-packed paper shell bombs from the War Bureau."

"No problem, I want to have a lot of stock in the War Bureau!"

"Tang Yu, immediately raise money and food, and prepare the dry food needed by the brothers of the Central Military Department for fifteen days!"

"Understood, I'll start the transfer immediately."

"Gao Ran, Yushan Town will be handed over to you to garrison, and the Yushan Workshop must also be strictly guarded!"

"Don't worry, Mr. Lian, I'll still let Chang Hongdao take someone there in the Yushan Workshop, no problem!"

Seeing that everything had been arranged, Liu Juntao prepared to adjourn the meeting.

At this time, Zhang Baigui asked: "Jun Tao, this time you have to fight with Kong Sancai, how are you going to act?" ”
