Wu Lao Han Jian's abacus is very shrewd, and he also has a very long-term view of the afterlife, and he sees that after his death, the Wu army will inevitably be in chaos and will inevitably fall apart, and he also sees that the designated successor Wu Shifan will definitely not be able to control the scene, and he understands that once he dies, some careerists who usually put their heads in front of him will inevitably expose their hideous faces, and use all available opportunities to fight for power and usurp power - for example, Wu Lao Han's sons-in-law do not have a fuel-efficient lamp. 【Reading.com】

If this situation really occurs, then Wu Shifan may still be lucky if he is just a side of power, and the most terrible thing is that the usurper will poison Wu Shifan, poison the Wu clan, and kill the descendants of Wu Lao Han in order to usurp the throne! - Such examples cannot be counted in the history books.

It is also because he saw these dangerous futures, in order to leave a way for future generations to live, Wu Laohan's eyes naturally stared at Lu Fatzi's body, knowing that if such a situation occurs, the only one who has the ability and possibility to eradicate Quan Zhan and save his descendants is only his grandson-in-law, so Wu Laohanzhan left the edict read by Wang Shirong, giving Lu Fatzi the righteous name of raising troops to rebel, and leaving a glimmer of hope to keep the country that he had fought hard. It also leaves a way for future generations to live.

Of course, Wu Lao Han Jian also knows very well that his grandson-in-law may be more dangerous than any careerist, and giving him the power to control the Wu army in the world is even more conspiring with the tiger, and if he is not careful, he will have the surname Lu, but Wu Lao Han Jian has no choice other than that. Because in addition to Lu Fatzi, Wu Laohan was not sure that he would be able to eradicate the usurper, and he was absolutely not sure that he would be able to control Lu Fatzi, the most dangerous grandson-in-law, Lu Fatzi was even more unscrupulous, taking advantage of the opportunity of Wu's internal strife to show his strength and devour the whole world.

Therefore, Wu Lao Han can only choose to entrust the most dangerous Lu Fatzi, let the powerful and capable Lu Fatzi eradicate the rebellion of the Wu army, let Lu Fatzi control himself, and use the last benevolence, righteousness and morality as a rope to tie up Lu Fatzi's fat hands and feet who are already ready to move.

As for whether benevolence, righteousness and morality can tie up Lu Fatzi's hands and feet forever, Wu Laohanzhan is definitely not sure, but the only thing that Wu Laohanzhan can confirm is that even if the conscience of Lu Fatzi robs the Great Zhou Dynasty, he will leave a way for his descendants to live, and will not kill his children and grandchildren.

At a glance, he saw through Wu Laohan's wishful thinking, and was about to pick peaches to grab the world, as if he had been poured cold water on his head, and could only look up to the sky and sigh, "The old fox who is immortal, your abacus is too fine!" ”

Also see this point also Lu Fatzi's two think tanks Yao Qisheng and Wang Shaobo, on the night of receiving the edict, just for Wang Shirong and others to hold a banquet to catch the wind and wash the dust, the banquet just dispersed, Lu Fatzi a few hardcore lackeys couldn't wait to rush to Lu Fatzi's signing room, with Wu Lao Han's edict to study over and over again, studied for a long time, Wang Shaobo could only sigh: "Emperor Daxing's hand is really clever, leaving this edict, on the surface, it seems to be a favor to the prince, bestow a righteous name, In fact, it is to tie up your hands and feet, and force you to continue to work for his children and grandchildren. ”

"It's a pity that I couldn't see the appearance of Emperor Daxing with my own eyes." Yao Qisheng also sighed: "The student now admires Emperor Daxing to the extreme, a short favor will block your path to progress, and only he can figure out such a clever trick." If you still want to fight for this world, you must first pass the moral threshold of loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness. ”

"Old fox!" Fat Lu scolded unceremoniously, "Lao Tzu would rather not be this Prince Yue, I would rather not have this righteous name, and I don't want to receive this edict!" There is hope in this world immediately, and the old fox wants to take it back with a bullshit edict, and he thinks so damn beautiful! ”

"Brother Sanhao, if you don't want to help Wu Jiabai carry a long-term job, it's easy, and the younger brothers will definitely support you." Xie Dong said with a wry smile: "As long as you are willing to make this determination, Emperor Daxing's edict is equivalent to nothing, and you can't tie your hands and feet." ”

Lu Fatzi shrugged down his head, not daring to speak, Lu Fatzi originally started by speculating in the Pingxi Palace, and the main army team was also abducted from Wu Laohan's hands, it can be said that without Wu Laohan's trust and grace, Lu Fatzi would never have come to this point, and now Wu Laohan's edict gave Lu Fatzi greater grace and trust, and even gave Lu Fatzi the power to control the Wu army in the world, if Lu Fatzi wants to use this edict to conquer the world, it is extremely easy, but it is an ungrateful infamy, it is enough to make Fat Lu unable to raise his head for the rest of his life.

After hesitating for a while, Lu Fatzi said weakly: "It's still too early to think about this, what we should think about most at present is how to eradicate the remnants of the Mangou forces, how to eradicate Guo Zhuangtu, the Great Zhou Annihilator, how to exterminate Geng Jingzhong, Zheng Jing and Monk Zhixin, these thieves, first set the overall situation, and then talk about the rest slowly." ”

Yao Qisheng, Wang Shaobo, Xie Dong and Zhu Fangdan and others nodded one after another, all thinking that Lu Fatzi was reasonable, it is indeed too early to think about how to usurp the Jiangshan Sheji of the old Wu family, first and foremost, to destroy all the enemies and get the power of the world, and so on, do you want to learn from Cao Pi, Li Yuan, Zhao Kuangyin, abolish the emperor and accept Zen, or learn from Zhu Yuanzhang to drown Han Lin'er, it is not a matter of words?

"The autumn harvest in Jiangnan is almost over." Trying to put aside the troubles caused by Wu Laohan's annihilation edict, Lu Fatzi forced a smile and said: "Judging from the statistics of the autumn harvest in various places, this year's Jiangnan is a bumper harvest year, not a new annex, just in the six prefectures, two states and one hall on both sides of the Yangtze River, we have more than 3 million stone of grain into the bag, and the army has also been reorganized and freed up, I think, we should choose an enemy to start, you say, we should fight in that direction?" ”

"It depends on what you want first, lord." Yao Qisheng smiled and said: "If you go north, you can give them a fatal blow before the dog has gasped, and get a large number of soldiers and war horses." Playing to the south, you can get a large amount of rich and fertile land, silkworm production areas, and obtain a larger strategic buffer zone for the grain producing areas in the south of the Yangtze River. ”

"But you can't go west." Zhu Fangdan rarely expressed a correct opinion on military strategy, "Fighting to the west and opening up the land connection with the Honghua Imperial Court will only cause a lot of trouble except for Jiangxi, which does not produce much grain." ”

"I also don't think we can use troops westward now." Wang Shaobo echoed: "The overall strength of the Great Zhou army is still above us, although we have the edict of the Great Zhou Emperor, but those meritorious veterans of the Great Zhou court may not necessarily listen to the prince, at this time to open up the contact with the Great Zhou army, it will only cause a lot of trouble, and it will also bring us a lot of money and food burden." Only by letting them kill each other and weaken each other first, and when both sides are defeated, we will take action to clean up the mess, which is not only convenient and easy, but also the burden of money and food will be much smaller. ”

"Yes, anyway, we are still surrounded by enemies on all sides in our reputation, and it is justified to fight outside first and then at home." Xie Dong also nodded in agreement, and said: "But the third good brother, the junior brother thinks that at this time, we can't rush to the north, we can only use troops to the south." ”

"At this time, you can't fight north, you can only fight south?" Fat Lu laughed and said, "Brother Xie, the governor of Liangjiang, are you in a hurry to really control Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, and you can't wait?" ”

"The prince laughed, of course the little brother didn't dare to have such an idea." The honest man Xie Dong blushed, and hurriedly explained: "The younger brother thinks that now is not the best time to go north, and there may be more chaos north of the Yellow River controlled by Mangou, so we can wait for Mangou to control the land to be more chaotic, and then it will be easier to use troops to the north." ”

"Lord Xie thinks that the north will be even more chaotic, is it not the debt owed by the chief of the dog toilet?" Yao Qisheng asked with a smile.

"Yes." Xie Dong hurriedly nodded and said: "The debt of the Hades of more than 23 million taels of silver owed by the chief of the Mangou toilet will expire in less than a month, with the current situation of the Mangou Imperial Court, not to mention 23.4 million taels of real gold and silver, even the interest of 5.4 million silver can't be taken out, and the people in the north can't get back their hard-earned money, and the place controlled by Mangou will naturally be even more chaotic, and when the chaos is beyond control, it will be much easier for us to make a Northern Expedition." ”

"Lord Xie is right." Wang Shaobo agreed: "At present, the autumn harvest has just ended, the north has received some grain, Mangou still has a little army in Shanxi and Tongguan, we are on the Northern Expedition at this time, and the Mangou Imperial Court will definitely transfer the army of Shanxi and Tongguan back to Shiqin Wang, and it is difficult for us to win easily after cheapening the Great Zhou army in Shaanxi and Gansu." The only way is to wait a little longer, and when the north is completely chaotic and the Mangou army is completely out of food, it will be much easier to launch the Northern Expedition again. ”

"Makes sense." Lu Fatzi also felt that Xie Dong and Wang Shaobo's opinions were reasonable, so he smiled and said: "In this way, we have to go south to bully Geng Jingzhong, Tian Fengji and Zheng Jing, you can tell me again, are we bullying the three of us together, or are we bullying one by one?" ”

"Of course, the best tactic is to break each one, that is, to bully one by one." Yao Qisheng smiled and said: "The students think that we should take advantage of the contradictions and mutual distrust between these three miscellaneous branches, pull one faction to fight the other, drive the tiger and devour the wolf, and wait for them to lose both, and then give them a fatal blow, swallowing them all in one bite." ”

"Oh, then who should we pull first? Who to hit first? Fat Lu asked again.

"Pull Zheng Jing first, beat Geng Jingzhong!" Yao Qisheng replied categorically.

"Pull Zheng Jing to beat Geng Jingzhong first?" Wang Shaobo, Zhu Fangdan and Xie Dong were all in the same place, and asked together, "Did Master Yao make a mistake?" How can you pull Zheng Jing to beat Geng Jingzhong first? Hangzhou, which is controlled by Zheng Jing, is just stuck on our way south, and if Zheng Jing beats Geng Jingzhong, won't Zheng Jing take the opportunity to gain a firm foothold in Jiangnan? ”

"You can only pull Zheng Jing first." Yao Qisheng said in a deep voice: "Zheng Jing's comprehensive strength is far inferior to Geng Jingzhong, Geng Jingzhong's army is definitely overpowering Zheng Jing on land, but the main force is pouring north to fight for Zhejiang, which makes Zheng Jing take advantage of southern Fujian, if we pull Geng Jingzhong to fight Zheng Jing first, Geng Jingzhong relieves the crisis of the backyard fire, and gains a firm foothold in Zhejiang, it will be far more difficult to deal with than Zheng Jing." ”

"But what about Hangzhou? What about Hangzhou? Wang Shaobo asked: "Our main force goes south to fight Geng Jingzhong, and the hinterland of Suzhou will be completely exposed in front of Zheng Jing. ”

"It's too simple." Yao Qisheng smiled slightly, and said slowly: "The prince sent a messenger to Hangzhou to tell Liu Guoxuan that as long as Zheng Jing's army surrenders Hangzhou and withdraws from Zhejiang, we will give them some grain and grass, and also join forces with Zheng Jing to annihilate Geng Jingzhong, exchange Geng Jingzhong's Fujian for Hangzhou, and keep Zheng Jing's obedient hands to send to Hangzhou." ”

"Can Zheng Jing agree to such a condition?" Xie Dong asked dumbfounded.

"Zheng Jing will definitely agree, and he has no other choice." Yao Qisheng smiled and said: "First, Fujian is much more than Hangzhou, and it is Zheng Jing who takes advantage of Fujian for Hangzhou." Second, it is meaningless for Zheng Jing to continue to occupy Hangzhou, his forces have been fully invested in the Fujian battlefield, and he can't take out spare forces to support Hangzhou, and the farmland near Hangzhou City has been destroyed by the war This year, there is no harvest, and the food in the city will definitely be exhausted or simply run out of food, how can Zheng Jing's army defend Hangzhou, it is better to exchange Hangzhou City for some military rations and our support. ”

"As for the third." Yao Qisheng's smile was even more deceitful, and he said with a smile: "That's a direct threat, tell Zheng Jing directly, if he doesn't form an alliance with us, we will form an alliance with Geng Jingzhong, not only to recapture Hangzhou by force, but also to help Geng Jingzhong take back Fujian, and drive Zheng Jing back to the island of Taiwan!" ”

"That's too bullying, isn't it?" Xie Dong hesitated and said: "Hangzhou was given to Zheng Jing by us, and now it is threatening to take it back by force, and it has spread, which has a great impact on the reputation of our army." ”

"It's simpler." Lu Fatzi, who closed his eyes and recuperated, finally spoke, and said lazily: "Let the messenger tell Zheng Jing directly, because of their previous ungrateful behavior of not saving him, we don't believe him, and it is okay to re-establish the covenant, but we must hand over Hangzhou City, so that I can help him take Fujian, otherwise, I will not only have to form an alliance with Geng Jingzhong and clean him up as the culprit who broke the anti-Qing covenant, but also join forces with my brother-in-law Shang Zhixin to flank him together!" ”

"The owner has finally become the prince, and he has really become more ruthless." Wang Shaobo muttered quietly in his heart, and said respectfully: "The prince is reasonable, Zheng Jing is ungrateful first, and we use this as an excuse to send troops to recapture Hangzhou, which can be regarded as justifiable." In addition, the student suggested that it would be best to add one more request, that is, after joining forces to annihilate Geng Jingzhong, Zheng Jing must open the road of Fujian to us, so that we can take the Liangguang route to crusade against Guo Zhuangtu's traitors, so that Zheng Jing is more likely to believe in our sincerity in exchanging Hangzhou for Fujian. ”

"Yes, add this." Lu Fatzi continued to close his little eyes, knocked on Erlang's legs and said in a big way: "That's it, you arrange it as soon as possible, the envoy will set off south tomorrow, and tell Zheng Jing that if he agrees to hand over Hangzhou, I will give him 30,000 stone of military rations, and casually give Li Tianzhi an order, let him go back to Nanjing to participate in my ceremony of being crowned prince, and then let Yang Yingyuan lead the 30,000 troops of the Suzhou Army to the south, and station in Shimen County on the edge of Hangzhou Mansion, bring more siege weapons, and let Liu Guoxuan know that this king is not joking with him." ”

"Yes." Yao Qisheng and the others agreed, but Lu Fatzi added, "I also told Li Tianzhi that Yang Yingyuan's army must use more reorganized full dogs to surrender troops, and if there is a war, these full dogs will also be used to take the lead." ”

Yao Qisheng, Wang Shaobo and others laughed and agreed again, but Xie Dong said worriedly: "Three good brothers, what if Zheng Jing really agrees?" We joined forces with them to kill Geng Jingzhong, and if we didn't give Fujian to Zheng Jing, then we would be untrustworthy and fattened by breaking our promises. ”

"Isn't that easy?" Lu Fatzi, Yao Qisheng, Wang Shaobo and Zhu Fangdan said in unison: "When Geng Jingzhong is scared, I will force Geng Jingzhong to hand over southern Zhejiang and let Geng Jingzhong go back to Fujian to clean up Zheng Jing!" ”

Before he could say anything, Lu Fatzi and Yao Qisheng had already laughed together, but the loyal and honest Xie Dong wiped a cold sweat and secretly sympathized with Geng Jingzhong and Zheng Jing, "It's really pitiful to meet an enemy like Brother Sanhao." ”

After discussing with Lu Fatzi for a while, he forced Zheng Jing to hand over the details of Hangzhou, and seeing that it was getting late, Yao Qisheng, Wang Shaobo and others influenced Lu Fatzi to rest and leave. Soon after the four of them left, Lu Fatzi, who was thinking with his eyes closed, suddenly heard a slight footstep, and smelled the sweet fragrance of strawberry milk, Lu Fatzi smiled evilly, suddenly stretched out his claws and swept away, and sure enough, he grabbed a thin arm, and then pulled it into his arms, and the little pepper Huang Xifeng really threw himself into Lu Fatzi's arms with a fragrant wind and screams.

"Bad looks like pretending to sleep, I want to scare you." Xiao Pepper rubbed into Fat Lu's arms, and at the same time hugged Fat Lu's neck and asked curiously, "Xianggong, are you closed?" How do you know I'm in? ”

"Who told you to smell so good?" Fat Lu opened his eyes, pinched Xiao Chili's increasingly delicate and touching tender face, and said with a smile: "Tell Xianggong honestly, how much rouge do you use in a day?" How can you smell your scent from so far away? ”

"No, I didn't use rouge? How can I not smell it? Little Pepper's face was full of doubts, and she lowered her head to smell her immature body, and her cute little face expression was even more puzzled. Fat Lu smiled, too lazy to explain, Xiao Pepper didn't get too entangled in this, just hugged Fat Lu again, took the initiative to bite a sweet bite on Fat Lu's fat face, and said in a coquettish voice: "Xianggong, Xifeng congratulates you, you can finally become the prince." ”

"I know that this girl of yours is not so kind and takes the initiative to kiss me, do you want to pester me again and make you a princess?" Fat Lu smiled and pinched the tender face of Xiao Chili again.

"No, of course not." Xiao Pepper hurriedly shook his head, and said: "Grandpa has already told Xifeng, Xianggong, whether you are a prince or an emperor, Xifeng can't be a princess or a queen, and even Sister Yu'er doesn't have this blessing, so Xifeng doesn't dare to think about this kind of non-separation." ”

"Another old fox." Lu Fatzi muttered in his heart, knowing that the old fox of Huang Ji must have seen his own situation, in order to envelop the old man of Pingxi Palace, even if there is no Wu Xiaosu, the princess of Yue who was personally canonized by Wu Laohan, he can only choose a wife from the people of Pingxi Palace, whether it is Shang Wanzhen, Lu Yu'er or Huang Xifeng, the little pepper, it is just the fate of the partial house.

"Xianggong." Xiao Chili's voice was even more coquettish, and when he approached the face of the fat man Lu, his clear little eyes blinked, and he said in a coquettish voice: "Xianggong, Xifeng is so sensible and doesn't fight for the princess, don't you give Xifeng a little reward?" ”

Little Pepper's long black hair hung on Fat Lu's fat face, which made Fat Lu's heart itch and unbearable, and he couldn't help but hug this naturally charming little pepper tighter, kissed her soft and sweet cherry blossom lips hard, and said with a smile: "Then what reward do you want?" Do you want Xianggong to suffer a little loss, and let you play music for me again? ”

Xiao Pepper's tender face turned red, and he glanced at Lu Fatzi coquettishly, and said softly: "Bad Xianggong, I just like to force Xifeng to do that kind of dirty thing, but it doesn't matter, as long as Xianggong you agree to Xifeng's small request, don't say it once, just a few times." ”

"How many times can I grant you a request?" As soon as Fat Lu's eyes rolled, he immediately understood the deceitful intentions of this little slippery head, and stroked her silky hair and said with a smile: "Is it for your grandfather to ask for an official?" Is he idle? ”

"Xianggong, why can't Xifeng hide anything from you?" Xiao Pepper was a little deflated, and stared at Fat Lu a little nervously and asked, "Xianggong, then do you agree?" I heard that the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty had already given you a fake festival in his edict and allowed you to canonize officials for him, and my grandfather ....... ”

"Ghost girl, the news is quite well-informed." Fat Lu gently touched the tender cheeks of the little pepper, feeling her silky skin, and the itching was even more unbearable, Yinxiao asked: "Little girl, you are thirteen years old, how many days are left?" ”

"Last month has passed, and the bad name is really bad." Little Pepper pursed her lips and said, "Why is the bad guy asking this?" Do you agree to what I ask you for? ”

"Of course, there's a reason for that." Lu Fatzi leaned into Xiao Chili's small and cute ear, and whispered: "According to the "Da Ming Law", a woman who has reached the age of thirteen can have a round house and get married. ”

Xiao Chili, whose body has fallen into the clutches of Fat Lu, already knows about men and women, and when he heard Fat Lu laughing like this, his little face suddenly turned red to the base of his neck, and he closed his eyes in shame, but his little hand took the initiative to pull Fat Lu's claws to his green chest, and he moaned softly in his small mouth, and took the initiative to tease Fat Lu without a teacher. The horny Fat Man Lu was not polite, and while untying Xiao Chili's clothes, he said with a smile: "Be careful of your liver, serve your prince and father well tonight, and in a few days, your prince will have a surprise for you." ”

Little Pepper's cheeks became more and more red, she closed her eyes nervously, nodded lightly as if she didn't understand, and let Fat Lu act wantonly on her still very immature body, until she was hugged by Fat Lu on her teeth, Little Pepper suddenly opened her eyes and said something that made a big difference, "Xianggong, my grandfather must take care of money and food." ”

"You little girl, do you want to marry me, or do you want to marry my money?" Lu Fatzi was angry, and his movements began to ............be a little rough, "Ah, it hurts, Xianggong, I don't want money and food, I just need you to ...... lightly, it hurts." ”

"Little girl, if I don't teach you a lesson today, you won't be able to change your greedy surname!"

"Xianggong, spare me, Xifeng doesn't dare...... Well, Xifeng hurts. ”

A.D. 1675, the ninth day of September in the first year of Zhaowu, the fat army built an altar in the northwest corner of Nanjing, set up a flag guard of honor, the fat army civil and military officials are arranged in order, Huang Ji, Yao Qisheng invited Lu Fat to the altar, kneeling to receive the canonization of Wu Lao Han to enthrone the edict, enter the crown and seal, face the south and sit, by the civil and military officials to congratulate the king of Yue, the eldest son Lu Bangjing was named the prince of the king, Wu Xiaosu was the princess, and the monk Wanzhen was the princess of the king.

Subsequently, Lu Fatzi named Wang Shaobo, Yao Qisheng, Wang Shirong and Huang Ji as bachelors, following Wu Laohan's example to set up the six Cao of Dayue, and named Wang Shaobo as the official Cao palm print, Xie Dong as the Hu Cao palm print and the governor of Liangjiang, Wang Shirong as the deputy, Zhu Fangdan as the criminal Cao palm print, Huang Ji as the Li Cao palm print, Yao Qisheng as the soldier Cao palm print, and Mu Tianyan as the Gong Cao palm print.

Feng Gao Dejie, Han Daren, Li Tianzhi and Wang Xu were the four major generals of the east, west, north and south, Li Guodong was the general and commander of the water division, Gao Hongchen, Han Yuanren, Hu Tongchun and An Jiarong were the four generals of the pro-army before and after, Wu Yonghua, Li Maozhu, Li Jiyang and Yang Yingyuan were the four generals of the pro-army hussars, Quan Jie, Gao Qi, Yao Yi and Li Xiongfei were the four generals of the pro-army iron cavalry, and Qin Yong and Lianfu were the left and right generals of the Shenji battalion. He also named Wu Xingzuo as the governor of Anhui and Wu Qi as the governor of Zhejiang. The rest of the civil and military officials have been rewarded, and even Xiao Erlang, the oldest lackey next to Lu Fatzi, has also won the title of a protector general - but it is equivalent to being the captain of Lu Fatzi's own army.

"Partiality." Little Pepper complained with tears in her eyes, "I hurt so badly, my grandfather is just a Licao palm print, and my father is just a Licao member, he can't control the silver and food, he is eccentric, I am not cost-effective." ”

"Son, don't worry." Lu Yu'er quietly patted Lu Bangning to comfort her, and said triumphantly: "Your eldest brother may not be able to come back, whether it is the prince of the king or the prince, sooner or later it will be yours." ”
