After seeing Fan Yutong, Fan Xi was basically relieved of Fan Yutong, as a meat ticket, it was already quite good to be treated so well like Fan Yutong, so Fan Xi had no reason to fight for Fan Yutong anymore, anyway, this time he brought a lot of things to Fan Yutong, and Fan Yutong's life here will be better in the future, in addition, he has no ability to do anything more. （..)

When he saw Xiao Tianjian again, Fan Xi still thanked Xiao Tianjian for his kindness, and repeatedly expressed their gratitude to Xiao Tianjian for treating Fan Yutong so kindly, hoping that Xiao Tianjian would treat Fan Yutong more well in the future.

Xiao Tianjian naturally agreed, and at the same time expressed his gratitude to Fan Xi, after agreeing on the list of materials for the first batch of transactions, Xiao Tianjian turned to Fan Xi to inquire about the news from the outside world.

Although the Xingtian Army occupies Yangcheng County, which is the intersection of the three provinces of Jin, Henan and Beizhili, it should be very well-informed, but after all, the Xingtian Army has been based here for a short time, and its own intelligence network has not yet been built, so the news is relatively very closed, and it is basically impossible to know about things that are a little farther away from the outside world.

This time Fan Xi came over, which was also a rare opportunity for Xiao Tianjian, so he stopped by to ask Fan Xi about the news outside.

And since Fan Xi has made up his mind to cooperate with Xiao Tianjian in the future, he naturally no longer hides anything, what Xiao Tianjian asks, as long as he knows, he will answer anything, as long as it is not a secret about the Fan family, basically he does not hide what he knows.

As the big housekeeper of a giant businessman, Fan Xi is not only in charge of the affairs of the Fan family's mansion, more often than not, he represents Fan Yaoshan, the big shopkeeper, and inspects the four Fan family's businesses, so Fan Xi's news is very well-informed, which is also something that businessmen must master.

When Xiao Tianjian asked about the officials in Shanxi and the recent events, Fan Xi replied: "Now the governor of Shanxi is the new governor Wu Fu, said that this person is still a good use of people, in July this year, the Tartars entered the Kou Datong area again, the officers and troops were defeated in several battles, Lingqiu County was conquered by the Jin army, the city garrison Shiqi, the chief Chen Yanwu, Ma Ruzhi, the history of Zhang Biao, and the teaching of Lu Dengfu, all fought and died. After the city was broken, Jiang Bingcai, the magistrate of the county, hanged himself, and his family was martyred. It's really embarrassing!

Originally, we all thought that there should be a person like Cao Wenzhao sitting in Datong, which should not be a big problem, but we didn't think that even Cao Wenzhao was defeated by the Jin people, and I heard that he was dismissed from his official position by the imperial court and wanted to serve as a border guard!

However, this trust in Shanxi Governor Wu Fu knew how to make good use of people, knew that Cao Wenzhao knew that the soldiers were good at fighting, and recommended him as the chief military officer to aid and suppress him, and he made meritorious service and redeemed himself. Originally, Wu Fu wanted Cao Wenzhao to calm the bandits in various parts of Shanxi, but now that the situation in Henan is getting tighter, the imperial court ordered Cao Wenzhao to enter Henan first and pacify the bandits in Henan!

If it is Cao Wenzhao who is now responsible for suppressing bandits in Shanxi, I am afraid that Xiao Dang's life will not be too good, although this Cao Wenzhao was defeated by the hands of Jin Bing, in fact, he can't be blamed, mainly because of the persecution of the imperial court, so that he had to go out of the city to fight, and the left and right officials and soldiers are greedy for life and afraid of death, so that he was defeated, but his soldiers are all elite soldiers, if you come here to encircle and suppress Xiao Dang's family, I am afraid that Xiao Dang's family will also be difficult to gain a foothold here! ”

After Xiao Tianjian listened, he nodded, the reason why he came here at that time was because he knew some of the historical development of this era in advance, and he had heard some things about Shanxi, and knew that the officers and soldiers in Shanxi were empty at this time, so he made up his mind to come here to fight the base first, if Cao Wenzhao was here at this time, Feng Xi was right, he was afraid that it would be difficult for him to gain a firm foothold here.

Immediately Xiao Tianjian asked about the rebel army in Shaanxi, Fan Xi replied: "As far as I know, the former governor of the five provinces, Chen Qiyu, was just dismissed by the current saint some time ago, arrested and sent to the capital to be punished, and now the original trilateral governor Hong Chengchou Hong has been promoted to the new governor of the five provinces, the governor encircled and suppressed the great cause of suppressing bandits in several provinces, in fact, even I admired the wisdom of Xiao in charge, and left Shaanxi one step ahead, Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong's generation, in Shaanxi for half a year, Now I heard that under the supervision of the new governor of the five provinces, Hong Chengchou, the officials and soldiers have driven these people and have to flee from Shaanxi, it is said that they have poured back to Henan in large numbers. I heard that they escaped from Shaanxi Road, it was very miserable, and most of the things that were finally snatched were lost, and many mutants died on the side of the road from freezing and starvation along the way, and the corpses could not be collected. ”

Xiao Tianjian sneered and said to Fan Xi: "It is a matter of time before Chen Qiyu is arrested, this matter is not what I expected, if it weren't for the battle in the carriage gorge, if he hadn't listened to slander, now it is estimated that Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others would have already rotted their bones in the carriage gorge, although I heard that he put the responsibility for the defeat on officials such as Lian Guoshi, but there will still be people who understand among those officials in the imperial court, and they will have to be impeached against him, Chen Qiyu was arrested, and he deserved it!" Hum!

However, Steward Fan is obviously too underestimated like Gao Yingxiang, the king of the eight, Zhang Xianzhong, the eight kings, and their people, and now it seems that they were driven out of Shaanxi by Hong Chengchou, but it is estimated that they died of cold and starvation and were exterminated by the official army are only some of the people they are coercing, and its core main force should not suffer much loss, and Henan is said to have been in drought over the years, and the people are even more difficult to live, as long as they do not die, as soon as they enter Henan, they will immediately respond to the call, and gather a large number of people to join the gang, which will not hurt their muscles and bones at all!

Therefore, the imperial court wants to completely exterminate them, as long as the northern Tartars cannot be solved, the imperial court will continue to increase the salary, and if the salary is increased, the common people will have more people who will not be able to make a living, so go on, hum! It's not that I look down on the current emperor, with his ability, there is no way to solve this problem, the border generals are greedy for life and afraid of death, and they dare not deal with the Eastern Tartars, but they are just wasting national strength, and the court can't ignore it, so they can only suffer the people of the world! As long as the common people have nothing to eat, it is impossible for them to be exterminated by the government, if they kill one, they will rise up again, and if they kill ten, they will rise up a hundred people to rebel! If this continues, not only will the imperial court not be able to exterminate these mutant army, but more and more displaced people will join them in the future, and sooner or later, the Ming Dynasty will be destroyed in the hands of our so-called mutant army! ”

After Fan Xi's eyebrows jumped a few times, he looked at Xiao Tianjian and said, "Could it be that Master Xiao is so sure that the current imperial court will be destroyed by you?" You must know that although the Ming Dynasty is an eventful season, after all, he is in charge of the world, and he is sitting on a million soldiers, and there are not a few fierce generals, how can it be that you mutant army can overthrow it? ”

"Millions of soldiers? I think it's a bear bear! If the Ming Dynasty officials and soldiers are really fierce generals, then why has the imperial court not been able to do anything for so many years? Millions of taels of Liao are thrown in Liaodong every year, can you hear a sound?

Have so many officers and soldiers ever fought a decent battle? Shouldn't the Eastern Tartars enter the customs every year, or enter the customs to plunder? When the Tartar army entered the customs, which time was not a swaggering and long-distance drive, but had any officers and soldiers ever fought with them once?

Steward Fan, don't deceive yourself, presumably you see it more clearly than I should see, this is the trend of the times, and the emperor today has no choice but to return to heaven! The Ming Dynasty will die! Xiao Tianjian slapped on the case with a snap, and said categorically.

Fan Xi sat on the chair for a long time and didn't speak again, and after a long while, he raised his head and stared at Xiao Tianjian's eyes, and asked him, "Then does the general also have the heart to win the world?" ”

Xiao Tianjian stared at Fan Xi's eyes without avoidance, and replied in a deep voice: "There are virtuous people living in this world, who wins the hearts of the people, who wins the world, it doesn't matter whether I have the heart to win the world, the important thing is whether the people will stand on my side in the future!" ”

Fan Xi looked at Xiao Tianjian for a long time, got up and gave Xiao Tianjian a deep salute and said, "In the future, I hope that Xiao will take care of our Fan family more!" I've been here for a long time, and it's time to go back! Say goodbye! Please rest assured, after I go back this time, I will immediately persuade my master to transfer the first batch of goods you need!" ”

Xiao Tianjian got up and hugged his fists and said: "Only reciprocity can be a win-win situation!" Then it's all about Fan Butler! I will send someone to escort Steward Fan back to Pingyang Mansion, and I will leave the rest to you!" ”

Although reluctant, but Fan Xi still has to go back, Xiao Tianjian accompanied Fan Yutong to send Fan Xi out of the walled gate, and sent Wang Chengping and Li Lingfeng to send Fan Xi a ride together to ensure the safety of Fan Xi and his party, the few women brought by Fan Xi, Xiao Tianjian didn't worry about them, and didn't let them stay, and also let Fan Xi take them back by the way, telling Fan Xi that he had arranged someone to take care of Fan Yutong's daily life, so he didn't have to worry about his father Fan Yaoshan.
