No matter how reluctant Liu Fan was, Lu Xiangsheng still arrived in Shihe City as scheduled, and Lu Xiangsheng came with Zhu Dadian, the governor of Shandong. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoThe two came together, bringing Liu Fan infinite troubles and joys.

To be honest, putting aside the purpose of Lu Xiangsheng's trip, I am still very happy that Lu Xiangsheng can come to Jiaozhou Liu Fan in person. Whether it is this life or the "previous life", for Lu Xiangsheng, Liu Fan respects him from the bottom of his heart. Throughout the turbulent last years of the Ming Dynasty, among the countless heroes, only Lu Xiangsheng can afford the word "hero". He is the only one who can be worthy of the word hero. But heroes often end in tragedy, and Lu Xiangsheng's ending is inevitably extremely tragic.

Being able to be friends with such a character has always been Liu Fan's proudest thing. Therefore, Liu Fan received Lu Xiangsheng's arrival with the highest standard, not only held a banquet in the General Military Mansion to entertain the two, but also called all the officials of all sizes in Jiaozhou to accompany him.

Such a warm hospitality made Lu Xiangsheng, who was accustomed to seeing big winds and waves, a little flattered, and in the end, even Zhu Dadian complained to Liu Fan with some taste, "Jimin, the old man has come to Shihe a few times, and I haven't seen you treat the old man like this!" Why did you behave like this as soon as Jiandou came? This makes the old man's old face a little dull, and I still care for you all the time! Can't you let the old man raise his face in front of Jiandou? ”

For Zhu Dadian's resentful gaze, Liu Fan turned a blind eye and turned a deaf ear, Quan Dang did not hear it, but continued to say to Lu Xiangsheng with an enthusiastic face: "Duke Lu is coming to Jiaozhou, which really makes Liu Fan overjoyed, since you are here, then you can live in Shihe City for a few days, so that I can also enjoy the friendship of the landlord!" ”

Lu Xiangsheng glanced around at the lively and noisy hall around him, and smiled helplessly: "Jimin's kindness has already flattered Jiandou, so don't continue to do so." Otherwise, Lu wouldn't dare to stay longer! ”

Liu Fan replied with disappointment when he heard this, "Okay, since Duke Lu doesn't like to be lively, then Liu Fan can only take his life!" In this way, you will live in the General Soldier's Mansion for the past few days, let's catch up with the old days! ”

Lu Xiangsheng shook his head decisively and said, "Don't bother, Lu and Governor Zhu came together, Lu Mou lived alone in the General Military Mansion, it is unreasonable, I think the post house is very good." Moreover, Lu had long heard that Shihe New Town was a rare prosperous place in Shandong, so he took this opportunity to enjoy the scenery of Jiaozhou. Speaking of this, Lu Xiangsheng paused for a moment, and then asked with some doubts, "That's right, Jimin." When entering the city, Lu carefully observed the layout of Shihe, and found that there seemed to be something unusual here, and the layout inside and outside the city seemed to imply the way of using troops everywhere. Take the city wall alone, without an army of 350,000 people, I am afraid it will be difficult to break through this line of defense! I wonder who made this move? ”

After hearing this, Liu Fan immediately gave a thumbs up and exclaimed, "Gong Lu really has a good eye, I can't hide it, the plan of Shihe City was studied by the junior brother according to the Western Lingbao and the craftsmen. This Diamond Fort is different from the current Ming Dock Fort in that it has a better defense in terms of defensive artillery! The concave structure of the city wall can give full play to its own firepower advantage more effectively, and the city wall is progressive layer by layer, even if it is destroyed in one place, it will not affect the defense of the others! It can be said that as long as there are enough troops and food and grass, let alone an army of 350,000, an army of 100,000 will not be able to break through Shihe City in half a year! ”

"Lingbao?" Lu Xiangsheng thought for a moment, and said with appreciation: "It seems that the West is not only very sharp in firearms, but also has a set of fortifications!" Da Ming seems to be a little behind! ”

Liu Fan shook his head and explained: "It's just a different focus! The main enemies of the Ming Dynasty were the nomads outside the Guan, so when considering the issue of defense, they would be more inclined to defend against cavalry attacks. In the West, there were more infantry, and firearms were used more frequently, so there was the birth of Lingbao. Among them, it can't be said who is strong and who is weak, it is best to suit yourself! The reason why I chose Lingbao is just to prevent trouble, after all, Kong Youde has brought a lot of advanced firearms to the Tartars! ”

"This traitor!" As soon as he talked about Kong Youde, Lu Xiangsheng immediately became angry, and scolded angrily, "Kong Youde is also a native of Shandong, and he doesn't want to repay his hometown fathers and elders, and he also took the lead in slaughtering the people in his hometown, which is really in vain as a son of man, and what is even more odious is that this person actually took refuge in Hulu and shaved his hair and became easy to obey, and lost all the blood of the Han people!" ”

"yes!" Liu Fan followed with a wry smile and said, "The forest is big, there are all kinds of birds!" This Kong Youde really doesn't deserve to be called a person! Such a disloyal, unfilial, unkind and unrighteous person is really hateful! I, Liu Fan, as the chief soldier of Jiaolai, will seek justice for the people of Denglai and Denglai one day! ”

"Ahem!" Zhu Dadian saw that the more the two of them talked, the more outrageous it became, he hurriedly coughed twice and persuaded him, "Jiandou, Jimin don't have to be too angry, if you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself, people like Kong Youde are really not worth our anger!" In the future, when you meet him, just meet him directly! Don't mention these unpleasant things when you're so happy! Come, drink this cup full! ”

"What Master Zhu said is that this time it's Liu Fan's fault! The little brother does it first for respect! ”

After Zhu Dadian's interruption, the two suddenly had no interest in continuing to chat. The atmosphere of silence lasted until the end of the banquet, and Lu Xiangsheng and Zhu Dadian hurriedly said goodbye and left.

In the next few days, Lu Xiangsheng really invited Liu Fanzuo to accompany him to visit Shihe, Jiaozhou, Jimo and other places as he said. In the end, he also took Liu Fan to Qingdao Port to appreciate the prosperity of Jiaozhou Bay.

On the deck of the battleship "Qingdao", Lu Xiangsheng looked at the countless ships in front of him, and said with emotion: "I only heard that Jimin is also a good hand in governing civil affairs, but I never thought that in just two or three years, Jimin will build Jiaolai and Jiaolai into such a prosperous place!" It would be great if Daming had a few more talents like Jimin! ”

"Uh" Liu Fan secretly rolled his eyes, full of malice thinking, if Daming had a few more "traversers" like him, I am afraid that this world would have been chaotic a long time ago, and it would be difficult to say whether Daming would not be the current Daming by then.

However, hearing Lu Xiangsheng's praise from the bottom of his heart, Liu Fan still replied happily, "Lu Gong has a good reputation, and this is not all due to me. The people of Jiaozhou are the biggest contributors to all this in front of them, without them, even if I am shocked, I can only and cannot turn things around with the power of one person! ”

Lu Xiangsheng turned his head and said with a smile: "Don't be humble when it comes to Jimin!" Lu has traveled all over the world, what kind of people have not seen, can have such a talent as Jimin, there are no more than five fingers in the world, at least Lu someone asked himself is not comparable!
