After returning from Zhang's house, before Liu Fan could breathe a sigh of relief, trouble came to the door again, it was none other than the Jinyi Guard from the capital who commanded Lord Luo Yang.

In the past few days after Liu Fan got married, Luo Yangxing found Liu Fan, and after obtaining Liu Fan's consent, he began to wander around Shihe, not only destroying the military camps, arsenals, and even some villages and towns in Jiaozhou left Luo Yangxing's footprints, but also did not stop Luo Yangxing's exploration of Liu Fan, but ordered people to cooperate with them, so that they could go in and out of any place without scruples.

The reason why Liu Fan did this was because even if he hid and stopped them, with the current power of Jinyiwei, it would be easy to think of getting this information that was almost on the surface. On the other hand, Liu Fan also needs to show his strength to Chongzhen and reflect his value. In Liu Fan's opinion, the stronger his strength, the safer he is, and the less Chongzhen will act rashly to destroy the relationship between the two. The reason is that Chongzhen actually has no real power, even if he is powerless to deal with the Liaodong group that holds the lifeblood of his money and food, and he is even more powerless in the face of Liu Fan, who is like a warlord. Just one Kong Youde rebellion caused the whole of Shandong to erod. If Liu Fan is forced to rebel, I am afraid that the entire Shandong and its surrounding areas will be difficult to be peaceful. As long as there are brains, no one will do this.

With an in-depth understanding of Jiaozhou, Luo Yangxing became more and more shocked in his heart, and he couldn't help but feel a little awe of Liu Fan. On this day, Luo Yangxing found Liu Fan and said bluntly: "Jimin! Actually, I came this time to have other tasks besides attending your wedding. That was the unrest in Jiaozhou last month. To tell you the truth, since the matter of Jiaozhou reached the capital, His Majesty was very angry, and after convening the ministers to discuss, he showed no mercy to the rebellion of Liu Zeqing and the Yan family, and sentenced these people to be beheaded on the spot. When I came to Shandong this time, I went to Dengzhou first, but what is ashamed is that although I had already ordered the Jinyi guards in Dengzhou to arrest them, I still let Liu Zeqing and others escape. ”

Liu Fan's face was calm when he heard this, and he was not surprised by this, "It's just a clown jumping off the beam!" Run and run! Lord Luo doesn't have to mind! ”

Luo Yangxing said with guilt on his face: "It's me who is not doing well!" Disappoint Your Majesty! In fact, His Majesty ordered me to come in person this time, just to give Jimin an explanation! After all, the imperial court is also responsible for such a thing. Your Majesty is very concerned about Jimin, and Jimin also knows about it during the period of the imperial court, and now Wen Tiren is in power, bullying the superiors and concealing the subordinates, plus the Donglin Party's hatred of the Jimin, after the incident, they deliberately concealed it, and Your Majesty knew that the matter was irreparable! You must also be considerate of Your Majesty's difficulties! ”

Liu Fan sighed and said, "Your Majesty's difficulties, I also know!" So I never complained about Your Majesty! Actually, Your Majesty doesn't have to be like this! If you want to blame, you can only blame these Wenchen for being bold, for a little profit, they disregarded the shame and did it directly, but fortunately, I broke the army and soldiers with my life, and I Liu Fan escaped this catastrophe. ”

Luo Yangxing also sighed: "Wealth is moving! These civil servants only care about fighting for power and profit, and completely ignore the life and death of the Ming Dynasty. Alas! Poor Your Majesty rises every day when the roosters crow, and the clothes are eaten at night, and the evening is dry. ”

Liu Fan stopped: "Okay! Don't talk about that! It's rare for Brother Luo to come to my Jiaozhou for a while, and let me do my best to be a landlord, don't leave today! Stay and eat together! By the way, I will also introduce Yao'er and them to you! ”

Luo Yangxing arched his hand and smiled: "Hehe! Jimin has a point! Even so, then I might as well be respectful! In fact, I have long been tired of living in the capital all day, and it is rare for the people to understand the righteousness so well, so I will have a good relationship with Your Majesty! ”

On the same day, Liu Fan hosted a banquet at home to entertain Luo Yangxing, and introduced Zhang Yao, Tian Shuying and others to Luo Yangxing. After the banquet, Liu Fan accompanied Luo Yangxing to travel in Jiaozhou. A few days later, Luo Yangxing said goodbye and left.

After Luo Yangxing left, Liu Fan summoned Wang Yong and said, "How are Liu Zeqing and the Yan family doing now?" ”

Wang Yong bowed down and replied: "According to the report from his subordinates, Liu Zeqing had already fled by boat before Lord Luo arrived, and Yan Jizhi of the Yan family fled with him, in addition to this, most of the people, including Yan Xiuzhi, the head of the Yan family, and the clan elders have been escorted to the capital!" ”

Liu Fan nodded, in fact, he had expected this matter for a long time, Liu Zeqing was scheming, cunning and abnormal, and the failure of this battle in the river valley would inevitably become the scapegoat of the bigwigs in the DPRK and China. In terms of his temperament, it is estimated that he found a way out before leaving, and Liu Fan has been sending people to pay attention to him.

After thinking about it, Liu Fan sighed: "Let's do it according to the plan!" I don't want to hear the names Liu Zeqing and Yan Jizhi anymore! ”

Wang Yong lowered his head and replied more and more respectfully, "Yes!" The subordinates will send someone to do it! ”

After dealing with Liu Zeqing's affairs, Liu Fan was completely idle, and the affairs of Jiaozhou were handled by civil affairs officials and militia teams, and Liu Fan did not need to worry about ordinary matters. The arsenal is now fully taken over by Sun Yuanhua, and with the assistance of Tang Ruowang, this does not have to worry about Liu Fan. There are Wu Tao and Li Xiaohu to supervise the training in the army, and there are students from the first phase of the military academy as the backbone, the problem of loyalty can be completely guaranteed, and Liu Fan does not have to soak in the barracks every day. has nothing to do, in addition to going to the military academy to give lectures every day, Liu Fan takes the girls on outings, sightseeing in the mountains and rivers, plus Liu Fan and Zhang Yao's newlywed Yan'er, like glue. During this period of time, Liu Fan can be described as a spring breeze and a happy one.

During this period, Liu Fan also fulfilled his promise and held a wedding again, this time the wedding was held for Xiaozhu and Xiaohe, because the two and Liu Fan had no relatives and elders, so compared to Zhang Yao's wedding, this time it was much simpler. In order not to disappoint the two daughters, Liu Fan did not have a smaller scale of this wedding than last time, except for a little less guests, it was almost the same as last time.

Two weddings were held in a row in two months, and Liu Fan became a groom three times in a row, which Liu Fan couldn't imagine before. Now it's really happening, and life experiences are really unpredictable.

What made Liu Fan even happier was that Sun Yuanhua sent people to Jiangnan brought back a few skilled craftsmen who could build blast furnaces, with the arrival of these craftsmen, Liu Fan's arsenal entered a blowout period, a large number of high-quality steel was produced, and the output of various artillery and armor also increased, according to Sun Yuanhua's estimates, by the end of July, the current output of the arsenal was enough to equip more than 10,000 recruits of the Broken Army, and the power of the Broken Army would be raised to a higher level again.
