XXXIV. Public opinion offensive

As long as Shi Kefa dares to refuse Zhu Youxiang's recruitment, Lin Yu will roll up his sleeves and follow, and it is not impossible to establish a new emperor with Shi Kefa's status and influence. Turning over the tank is purely a helpless move, and it can't be a climate without a weapon without a little brother Lin Yu.

But now that you're on the thief ship, wouldn't it be a little too late if you repented and changed your mind again?

After hearing what Lin Yu said, Hou Fangyu shook his head: "No, no, the little brother is purely here for personal matters!" ”

Lin Yu was a little disappointed, but as expected, with Shi Kefa's character, not to mention that Zhu Youxiang asked for an ironclad car, he was afraid that even if he asked for Shi Kefa's head, he would give it with both hands.

"Would you like to hear about it?"

Lin Yu got up and prepared to take the porcelain bottle in Hou Fangyu's hand back and put it into the sack prepared in advance, and when he got off the boat, he asked Li Wei and Zhang Daniu to pack it out, and strive for not a drop of excess fuel to be left for Zhu Youxiang.

"No, no, no...... I left this one! ”

Hou Fangyu refused to return it, "I drank it and it tasted good, leave me a bottle, I don't think Brother Lin will be so stingy, right?" ”

Lin Yu couldn't cry or laugh: "Hou Gongzi, this is diesel, this is the fuel of the ironclad car, which is used to provide power, and it can't be drunk." ”

The words fuel and power were too profound for Hou Fangyu, so he didn't ask much, just hid the porcelain bottle behind him, "Since it is oil, it must be able to drink, just like the oil squeezed out of soybean oil and lard, Brother Lin must leave me a bottle." ”

"Brother Hou, Brother Hou, it's not that I, Lin Yu, am stingy, this diesel fuel really can't be drunk, not only can't it be drunk, but it can also be lit!"

Hou Fangyu was like a baby: "Even if I can light it, I have to drink it, it's a big deal to drink it with the old white of the Thirteen Wine Workshops!" ”

The partition wall had ears, so Lin Yu no longer argued with Hou Fangyu, so he had to give up: "Forget it, since Brother Hou likes this taste, then the little brother will give you a bottle, don't drink too much, in case of poisoning." ”

After a pause, he asked again: "Brother Hou hasn't said why he came?" ”

Hou Fangyu stuffed the wooden lid of the porcelain bottle and put it in his sleeve, and then said: "The foolish brother is not for anything else, but for the sake of the cheap." ”

"Li Xiangjun?" Lin Yu was a little surprised.

"Oh...... Brother Lin also knows the name of the? Hou Fangyu's eyes radiated with excitement.

Lin Yu nodded: "The name of Qin Huai Bayan has been heard of a little. ”

In fact, there is no such thing as "Qin Huai Bayan" in this year, and a person named Yu Huai wrote "Banqiao Miscellaneous Records" during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, recording Li Xiangjun, Dong Xiaowan, Gu Hengbo, Bian Yujing, Kou Baimen, Ma Xianglan and other six famous prostitutes on the banks of the Qinhuai River in the late Ming Dynasty, and later joined Liu Rushi and Chen Yuanyuan, which is the saying of Qinhuai Bayan.

But Hou Fangyu's brain was a little confused after drinking diesel, so he didn't think much about it, it is estimated that Qin Huai Bayan is the famous eight Qinglou women on the Qinhuai River, and it is not surprising that Lin Yu knows as a man.

Hou Fangyu adjusted his mood and said: "Brother Fool and Xiangjun fell in love at first sight, and they were determined for life, and their husbands and wives followed them, but they also lived happily."

It's just that he unexpectedly offended Ruan Dacheng, a traitorous villain, and he took the opportunity of the palace beauty pageant to recommend Xiangjun to the emperor, so he ...... The holy decree was difficult to disobey, Xiangjun had no choice but to enter the palace, and the foolish brother couldn't stay in Nanjing; had no choice but to flee to Nanjing to join the overseer. Later, after many inquiries, the foolish brother learned that Zhu Youxiang was a faint king......"

"Ahem...... Lin Yu coughed and reminded, "Brother Hou, beware of the wall with ears, there are people from the imperial court outside!" ”

Hou Fangyu said unwillingly: "Brother Fool learned about the emperor...... Shang didn't take a fancy to Shang, Xiangjun is currently serving as a dancing girl in the palace. Brother Lin has made amazing achievements this time, can you get back the cheap money for the foolish brother after meeting the emperor? ”

Hou Fangyu said and bowed to Lin Yuna: "If Brother Lin can fulfill the foolish brother, I, Hou Fangyu, am willing to do my best for you, go to the soup and fire, and help General Lin to do a vigorous and great thing!" ”

Lin Yu knew that he lacked people under his command, not only military generals but also civil officials, although Hou Fangyu's strategy was average, but he had literary talent.

As one of the four great talents in Jiangnan at the end of the Ming Dynasty, Hou Fangyu's pen power is commendable.

What is even more commendable is that Hou Fangyu, as one of the "Four Great Talents in the Late Ming Dynasty", was also the leader of the Restoration Society, knew many cultural people from all over the country, and had an incomparable advantage in propaganda and momentum.

With the wonderful article, Lin Yu's deeds can spread faster, and it will also make his way to obtain gold coins twice as effective with half the effort, so Lin Yu agreed to Hou Fangyu's request without hesitation.

"Good...... Since Brother Hou has entrusted the heavy responsibility to this general, I should do my best, and I want you husband and wife to reunite no matter what. ”

Hou Fangyu was almost crying with joy, and he fell to the ground: "If this is the case, Brother Lin is simply the reborn parent of the foolish brother!" ”

As the second capital of the Ming Dynasty, there are more than two million people in the city alone, plus the county seats, towns, and villages under its jurisdiction, I am afraid that there are three or five million people.

"Brother Hou, the younger brother also has a request, and I hope that Brother Hou must do it!"

Lin Yu lowered his voice and whispered to Hou Fangyu, "You are the leader of the Restoration Society, you know many literati and artists, and when you get off the boat later, you will go to find your friends and hype up the great victory in Yangzhou...... Of course, the little brother doesn't mind bragging to me, and it would be good to beautify me as a hero who saves the country and the people......"

Hou Fangyu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he gave a thumbs up: "Mr. Lin is really a clever plan, such a dog...... The emperor will not dare to be a brother, and your reputation will be greatly beneficial to your future career. ”

"Exactly!" Lin Yu didn't explain, and nodded with a smile.

Hou Fangyu agreed: "Although this matter is covered by Brother Wei, when I get off the boat, I will go to Fang Yizhi and venture to open up Xinjiang, and let the people of Nanjing City know the name of Lin Zhenjiang tonight!" ”

Lin Yu nodded and said solemnly: "After I meet the emperor this time, I must exchange the ironclad car for the right to reform the military establishment, and it is best to let him allow me to open a government and recruit soldiers on my own, so that I can have a place in this troubled era in the future." ”

Hou Fangyu was even more excited, clenched his fists and said: "Mr. Lin is ambitious, the foolish brother really didn't mistake you, I will follow you in the future!" Another day, if you have a chance, the Foolish Brother will introduce the elites of my Restoration Society to your command. ”

"In that case, there is Brother Laohou!" Lin Yu hugged his fists and thanked him.

Just when the two were conspiring, the big ship had already arrived on the other side, and Wei Guangdong's majestic voice sounded outside the cabin: "Mr. Lin, the ship is docked, you can drive the ironclad car to the shore!" ”

Lin Yu looked out through the periscope and found that the big ship had indeed sailed to the other side, and Xu Gongji, Zhu Youliang, Chen Luyao and others had already disembarked and waited in line.

Lin Yu's eyes moved, why didn't he let Merkava stay on the warship for one more day, so that Zhu Youxiang and Ma Shiying also had some scruples. It is best to let Zhu Youxiang personally go out of the city to greet him, so as to create a greater sensation and make Nanjing known all over the city, so as to earn more gold coins.

After making up his mind, Lin Yu pretended to start a few times, stepped on the accelerator when it was big and small, started and turned off, and repeated it a few times before he got out of the cockpit with a look of chagrin.

Wei Guangdong and the others listened to the irregular roar of the ironclad car, and they all raised their hearts to their throats, pinched a handful of sweat and said, "Mr. Lin, what's wrong?" ”

"Alas......" Lin Yu sighed, "It may be that there was a damp when crossing the river, and it can't be started for the time being." ”

"Ah...... How good is that? Wei Guangdong sweated on his forehead.

Lin Yu pretended to say: "This ironclad car can only be used on land, the river is foggy, damp, and nine times out of ten it cannot be started due to moisture, and it may be able to recover after a day or two of drying on this boat." ”

"Ruan Shilang has arrived!"

At this moment, a series of shouts sounded in the distance, and I saw a white-faced, beardless official, wearing a crimson three-rank official uniform, wearing a black veil on his head, surrounded by a group of people and others, riding a horse.

Hou Fangyu, who had just come out of the cockpit, reminded Lin Yu in his ear: "This person is Ruan Dacheng, a traitorous minister, and the foolish brother can't wait to eat his flesh and drink his blood!" ”

"Brother Hou steady, the land of Gyeonggi, don't act rashly!"

Lin Yu admonished Hou Fangyu, tidied up his clothes, and waited for Ruan Shilang's arrival.
