Chapter 128: Night Banquet and Occasional News (Text)

Lu Gong, whose surname is Lu, is the master of the family, once the privy envoy and the left servant of the door, served as the secretary of the military department, the ambassador of the southwest, the pacification envoy of Annan, and finally the official to the inspection school captain at the time of retirement,

However, Lu Gong is the common name of the head of the family for generations, because his ancestor is the famous tea saint Lu Yu, who belongs to the descendants of Liang Gong as a retainer, and is a branch of the lineage that has benefited from the preservation of the lineage in the rebellion of Yiwei, and the seaside territory infested with wild deer on this island (Hainan Island) is the world, so it is named.

It was said that Lu Gong wanted to see me, but in fact, throughout the meeting, this old man with white hair had been dozing and confused in various ways, and most of the questions and answers were completed by his eldest son, Lu Nanshan, who was forty or fifty years old.

And in the end, it was his eldest grandson Lu You, a child of a family who looked a little boring.

That's right, it's Lu You, of course, because of his family background, this person didn't want to be like the eponymous figure in history, because of the bumpy experience, and became a generation of great poets, but he inherited the shade of the door early and became a secretary who saved Cheng Yilang.

I haven't even had time to ask him if he's married a cousin named Tang Wan or something.

According to Lu Nanshan's last statement, Lu Gong intends to protect my background as a cavalry captain, according to the order of the fifty-two military ministers of the Southern Dynasty, the four thresholds of scholars, schools, generals, and capitals, so that he will directly enter the middle level of the third sequence, and he will be counted as an intermediate military attache in the stream. At least the inside is a palace front straight, and the outside is at least the town deputy or the chief commander.

If you want to spend money to get it, in addition to the corresponding official rank, you have to spend at least 30 million to 50 million yuan.

However, I thought about it again and again and politely declined, the so-called no merit, no love, hatred and good things for no reason, and a person who is easy to change in Thailand is always difficult to get more trust and opportunities.

However, I agreed to other contacts and cooperation, such as the friendship between the younger generations as a child of the family, and the connection and exchange of business and management. They didn't dwell on the topic any more.

Because I am a descendant of the retainers of Nantou, in terms of political stance and family lineage, I have a natural tendency and position deviation towards the so-called northerner group, or the Dongjin faction, or even the pan-main battle faction, so my meeting is more like some kind of circumstantial evidence and reference.

Because there were many things that the other party was interested in, and there were additional topics, this meeting took me more than half an hour, and the dishes on the table changed twice after I came out.

It's just that those guests who are standing in the inner hall, obviously more closely related to the main family, and a little more informed, seem to look at me a little differently, as if they were still a potential stock just after Lingling, and suddenly become a new blue chip stock in the market.

In the words of that contemporary deer man,

I was very interested in the details of the firearms tactics that I came up with, and the extreme use of them. After all, war is to promote military technology and related derivatives, but the Southern Dynasties have not fought any large-scale wars in recent years, only some regional conflicts between the five roads and other feudal regions, and the Northern Dynasties, which were divided into feudal towns, did not lack wars, but lacked sufficient resources and financial input, so they also failed to put firearms technology and tactics, which obviously required a lot of money-burning projects, to give the opportunity to do big and in-depth research.

The calls and controversies over the innovation of firearms have also continued intermittently for many years, and they have not been immune to the resistance and rejection of the traditional huge number of military industries and various vested interest groups, and the results have been limited.

After all, compared with bows and crossbows, the firearms of the Southern Dynasties did not have any obvious advantages in terms of rate of fire, range and power, and the use process was quite cumbersome, and they had the disadvantage of being more affected by the environment and climate, especially for a regime like the Southern Dynasties, where most of the territory was in a warm, humid and rainy zone.

Although there are more highlights of the number of shots, the so-called war mode of only three rounds against the enemy has become a chicken rib thing, so it can only be used with bows and crossbows in a limited amount according to the needs of lower-level generals, or as a defensive auxiliary class.

In the normal class sequence, that is, the mature fire oil bombs and flying fire mines that have been used, are more distinctive and bright.

In this Qingyuan military mutiny, the soldiers and horses in the city were too lazy and weak, and even needed to dispatch the Gong Guards and the Dianqian Army in the inner city, plus the Qinwang Army in the outer Daozhou, to be extinguished.

Therefore, the bigwigs of the DPRK and China intended to train a new army that focused on firearms, but they were touched and inspired by the defense of the Meishan Hotel, although I don't know how Mrs. Chen took the opportunity to publicize and build momentum.

It is an indisputable fact that they relied on more than 100 firearms and more than 200 crossbows, and relied on their limited geographical advantages to resist the repeated attacks of elite troops with honorable names.

In the end, the comparison of the other party's casualties was also ugly, and even the main general folded in. Although it is exaggerated, such as deliberately ignoring certain processes and conditions, it still inevitably makes me invisibly and indirectly famous.

This made some people in the DPRK and China find a reason to attack the current Privy Council and abandon their armaments, and then some people, in order to divert the contradictions, solemnly proposed to pay attention to the advantages of firearms in this offensive and defensive battle.

And Mrs. Chen's extreme camp behind her obviously saw some kind of opportunity and reason, and took the opportunity to push me out.

In a certain way, I was once again involuntarily used as a gunman and was involved in some kind of political stance, at least this time, regardless of the achievements of the new firearms army, I had to stand on the opposite side of some traditional military construction industry groups.

Coming out of me, my mind was still thinking about it. But do I have room to refuse?

Therefore, legitimacy is a kind of mental inertia formed by the long-term rule of the regime, and it is not perverse to the point where it is really angry and resentful, or it completely loses its own maintenance function, and allows natural and man-made disasters to toss and make most people unable to live, it will not be so lightly shaken from the inside, and the official identity and authority attached to legitimacy are also part of it.

No matter how corrupt, degenerate, and unbearable it is, before the overall authority of the feudal dynasty is not shaken in the eyes, most of the common people are still afraid of it and try to survive with their anger.

Although what I did was strictly against the ruling order, I also needed this identity and convenience in acting, and the other party obviously knew this, although it was very unpleasant to be tied up by the demarcated camp, but this was a conspiracy that had to be accepted.

If it is advantageous, you can use a relatively small cost and a ready-made foundation to mobilize and obtain sufficient resources from within the system, and in a relatively short period of time, you can partially achieve some shortcut to your own phased goals;

However, the disadvantage is that in the system, it is inevitable to receive the influence of factors from above and below, and it is necessary to spend a lot of energy and resources to maintain various relationships and consolidate itself.

In contrast, joining the military system, especially a mainstream faction with relatively similar interests, is obviously the result of the lesser of evils, after all, there is no perfect thing in the world, and there is no unprovoked help and love and hate, at least until I feel full-fledged.

While thinking about it, I realized that I had walked to a somewhat unfamiliar place, this garden was quite large, at least a few places, and there were countless mountains, stones, flowers, trees, and gardens and ponds, but obviously I had not yet stepped out of the scope of the feast, and I could see some tables and sitting guests.

I only drank a few cups of drinks before, and I talked to the host's house for a long time, some of them were hungry, and instinctively wanted to find something to satisfy their stomachs, and found a quick plate to pull a few golden silk rolls fried with chestnut rice and ham from the edge of the table, a cream crab roe soup wrapped in lettuce, a few slices of garlic and eel shreds, and hid under a bush of arhat bamboo, not very conspicuous corners, regardless of the image or something.

I suddenly saw a tall young waiter, who hurried over, and called him for a drink, but found that the other party walked straight over as if he had not heard of it.

I sighed, put down the plate a little funny, actually ignored, but it felt a little unusual, even if it was an ordinary slave, it would not be so slow to treat guests, unless something important happened.

I was a little curious, and walked over to see the excitement, the other party seemed to be more familiar with this place, and the place where I walked was also to avoid crowded and bright places as much as possible, and I was almost thrown off by turning around.

He stopped suddenly, and stood hesitantly in front of a wall of flowers, the moonlight shining on his side face, which looked a little hard and cold.

I can be sure now that he really doesn't look like a servant, because he is too unprofessional, he doesn't have the kind of servant of a long-standing family who has been cultivated in his bones, as if he was born with general etiquette and obedience, and there is a faint self-control that does not frighten at times, but is full of a certain taste of impetuousness and anxiety.

Then suddenly the figure flipped below, and it actually flipped out of the flower wall with agility. I couldn't help but lean in, could it be that there are such high-end banquet occasions that break through the empty door.

The young man and woman whispered their movements, but they could not hear them very clearly, and then they spoke more and more rapidly, and seemed to have some arguments.

Then I heard some other movements, and several figures slowly came over, although they were also wearing cyan thin servant clothes, but they also gave people a sense of incongruity, because these people, the killing aura on their bodies that had been in the ranks for a long time, others could not say, I could smell it from afar.

Naturally, they formed a fan-shaped encirclement, encompassing my position.

Hell, Lao Tzu's aura of bad luck can spread here, but it's a pity that there are no weapons on his body,
