Lu Xiangsheng patrolled the border wall every day, urging the border troops in all towns to be on strict alert. But the military leaders everywhere are all old fritters, and they don't do less things that violate yin and yang.

They all know in their hearts that the Ming Dynasty is coming to an end, and now who is willing to work for the Zhu dynasty. Through the continuous efforts of the Intelligence Department of the Far Eastern Army, every day envoys sent by the military leaders of various military towns secretly went out of the customs to make contact with the Far Eastern Army. At this time, they still have the mind to fight, and they are all thinking about finding a way back for themselves.

In fact, Lu Xiangsheng also knew it in his heart, but what else could he do. Now even he knows that the Ming Dynasty is probably coming to an end.

He has no worries now, his daughter has already made arrangements, and although the Far East has not said it explicitly, he has already hinted that he will treat the Lu family well in the future.

Therefore, Lu Xiangsheng only waited for the Far East Army to attack, and he would lead the elite of the thousands of Tianxiong Army under his command to fight to the death with the Far East Army. As for the right and wrong, let's leave it to future generations to comment.

After finishing the inspection of various military towns, Lu Xiangsheng returned to Xuanfu exhausted. This road made him very disappointed, and the hearts of the border troops in the military towns had been dispersed.

Zhong Dahai followed Lu Xiangsheng back to Xuanfu, he saw that Lu Xiangsheng was upset, so he stepped forward and said, "My lord, are we ......?"

Lu Xiangsheng turned his head and looked at Zhong Dahai with anger on his face. Then he sighed and said, "Old Zhong, have you been with me for a few years?" ”

Zhong Dahai was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but he still thought for a while and said, "My lord, it's been eight years......"

"Time flies...... Wang Sheng is doing well in Liaodong......"

"My lord, Wang Sheng's kid is shaking now, and it is said that he was arranged by his uncle to join the Far Eastern Army." Zhong Dahai said with envy on his face.

Lu Xiangsheng nodded and said with relief: "You have followed me for so many years, except for fighting hard, you haven't made any good money." None of other people's pro-soldiers are wealthy, but how many of you ...... Alas...... Tomorrow you will take them to Beijing, pick up your wife and go to Liaodong, I know you can find people from the Far East......"

"Adult ......"

When Zhong Dahai heard this, he quickly knelt on the ground, kowtowed to the ground, and cried. He knew that Lu Xiangsheng was arranging the aftermath, and his family was afraid that he would make up his mind to kill himself.

Lu Xiangsheng didn't care about Zhong Dahai, and entered the courtyard with a tired face, but his back looked extremely lonely.

Zhong Dahai raised his head, wiped his eyes, and the expression on his face became more and more determined. He gritted his teeth and got up from the ground, and hurried out of the yard.

He went out of the courtyard and went straight to a shop in the city, and the man at the door saw that his eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly greeted him into the house with a smile.

Zhong Dahai was led to the backyard by the guy, a middle-aged man in his forties was waiting here, and when he saw Zhong Dahai, he greeted him with a smile and hugged his fist and said, "Old Zhong, you haven't been here for a while......"

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand and welcomed Zhong Dahai into the house, and after the two sides sat down, the middle-aged man smiled and said, "Old Zhong, what you brought this time is good news......

Zhong Dahai shook his head with a wry smile, and the middle-aged man said regretfully: "Since this is the case, then ......"

Before he finished speaking, he saw Zhong Dahai raise his head violently, stared at his red eyes and said: "Just do what you said before, don't make any mistakes, if it hurts my family, I will fight for my life, and I will kill you......"

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Old Zhong, don't worry, we have always been cautious in doing things, and we will not hurt Lord Lu in the slightest." But the next thing, you have to cooperate with us well, if you don't do things well, what happens is beyond our control. ”

Zhong Dahai said angrily: "Don't worry, I can't go wrong." ”

After he finished speaking, he stood up, turned around and left the house, and the middle-aged man hurriedly got up to send him off, and sent Zhong Dahai out of the shop.

It wasn't until Zhong Dahai walked away that he turned his head and said to the guy next to him: "Go and send a report immediately, just say that the fish bites the hook......"

Although hundreds of thousands of Far Eastern soldiers came to the city, for the ordinary people of the Ming Dynasty, they did not understand the mystery at all, and they still lived their own lives. Even many local officials in the Ming Dynasty did not know that this dynasty, which had lasted for more than three hundred years, was about to collapse.

With the gradual end of the great drought in Chongzhen, the number of displaced people in the north of the Ming Dynasty has also become fewer. Most of them died if they couldn't survive, and the rest were either thieves or were collected and transported out of the Ming Dynasty by the Far East.

But this year, the officials in Daming are very strange, in previous years, this time was the time when the Far East wantonly collected the displaced people, but this year's intensity is much smaller, and even some areas have no movement at all, which also makes many local officials in Daming feel incomprehensible.

Fortunately, in the past two years, the number of displaced people in various places has gradually decreased, and even if there is no Far Eastern merchant group to collect the displaced people, the situation in various places can be considered stable. So they simply didn't care, after all, the Far Eastern merchant group was blatantly busy, and they, the magistrates, had been ignoring it, and they couldn't talk about it.

But there are so many people in the world that many officials of the Ming Dynasty have figured out something. So during this time, Zhou Weifan was in Luoyang, Henan, and he had to deal with all kinds of people every day.

Many people came from distant provinces, and many of them were masters and think-tanks of some feudal officials. This also made Zhou Weifan busy every day, but at this time, he had to see everything, not only to see but also to talk to the other party, and to try his best to let the other party understand the ideas of the Far East.

When the Far Eastern Company first entered the Central Plains, of course, it did not want to cause too many killings, it was all the same kind of text, and the company's employees generally did not think that there was anything commendable about the slaughter and persecution of their own people.

Therefore, the company should unite all strata in the Central Plains, try its best to ensure that the Far East Army occupies the area north of the Yangtze River, and basically ensure the stability of the situation in various places, but if anyone tries to challenge the bottom line of the Far East, it must also be prepared to withstand the anger of the Far East Company.

The reason why the company spent a lot of resources and energy to do a lot of work in Daming before the Central Plains Campaign was launched was to avoid war and casualties as much as possible, and to liberate the best and stable northern region of Daming peacefully, which is most in line with the current needs of the Far East Company.

Now the military leaders of the Ming Nine-Border Military Town have basically come into contact with the Far Eastern Army. But what annoys them more is that the Far Easterners don't play those twists and turns at all, and directly throw out their bottom line. That is, no one is allowed to retain military power, but must unconditionally lay down his arms and surrender his troops.
