The sudden surprise made Lu Xiangsheng, a fierce man who did not change his face in the sea of corpses and blood, a little overwhelmed. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Although Lu Xiangsheng's status is not low, there are not many descendants under him, and the Tianxiong army of Megatron is only 2,000 people now. Such a person is simply a shock in the face of tens of thousands of rogues at every turn. Even with Lu Xiangsheng's ability, he often feels constrained because of the lack of troops. It's not that he doesn't want to expand the army, but he really doesn't have any money!

He is not a traverser, and he is not worth a rich country, and even if he scatters his wealth, he can only maintain an army of two thousand. Once the imperial court ran out of supplies, the Tianxiong army would face the dilemma of having no food to eat. In the future, when Lu Xiangsheng came to the end of his life, he was faced with this situation, and the Tianxiong Army, which had no rival in the world, was actually rejected by a small magistrate in the land of Daming. Even after three days of food cuts, Lu Xiangsheng and his army still fought bravely and died in battle. However, Wu Sangui, who was far away in Shanhaiguan, had more than ten years of grain and grass that he could not eat, and shamelessly surrendered to the Tartars. For such a person, such a group of people, Liu Fan felt that it was necessary to do something for them, at least not let them go hungry and fight the enemy.

Looking at Lu Xiangsheng's excited appearance, Liu Fan smiled and affirmed, "I can't guarantee anything else, but I still have some weapons and money, and if I can't do it, I can squeeze some out of the broken army." Lu Gong, do you think I, Liu Fan, am the kind of person who doesn't count? Since I slapped my chest in front of you, I'm sure I'll do it! Not only that, but I will also send a fleet to escort you and these materials all the way to Kaifeng! ”

"Great, great!" Lu Xiangsheng shook Liu Fan's hands with mixed feelings and said, "Jimin, you are the great benefactor of our Tianxiong Army!" Please accept Lu Mou's worship! ”

"Don't dare! Don't! Liu Fan stubbornly held Lu Xiangsheng's arms, and hurriedly explained, "This is just a little bit of Liu Fan's heart, and Lu Gong can't be like this!" You have tormented Liu Fan! ”

Afraid that Lu Xiangsheng would continue to entangle, Liu Fan hurriedly changed his words and said, "Doesn't Duke Lu want to see how the firearm I gave you is?" It's not that the little brother is boasting, looking at the Ming armies, there are really few armies that can compete with the firearms of the Broken Army! Take this battleship under your feet, for example, it is battle-tested, and it will not be inferior to three enemy ships under the same circumstances, and can even be defeated in battle! Although the army's artillery is not as powerful as the navy, it is not much weaker, is Lu Gong interested in going with me to take a look? ”

Lu Xiangsheng's eyes lit up, and he replied with great interest: "I have long heard that the weapons of destruction are sharp, and Lu really wants to see their power with his own eyes?" Jimin, if you can, can you take Lu to see it? ”

"Dare to disobey!" Liu Fan immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, and hurriedly pulled Lu Xiangsheng and the others towards the direction of the dock.

In the next few days, Liu Fan took Lu Xiangsheng and Zhu Dadian to every corner of the Shihe camp, and comprehensively showed them the powerful combat power of the Broken Army. A well-trained army, powerful artillery, and a phalanx of sharp musketeers, all of this left a profound impact on the two men.

Seeing all this, Lu Xiangsheng, who was about to benefit from it, was naturally overjoyed, but Zhu Dadian, who came with him, was not in such a good mood. The stronger the strength of the Broken Army, the deeper the jealousy in Zhu Dadian's heart. For this powerful force rising under his nose, what else can Zhu Dadian do except a wry smile and deep helplessness? Oh, maybe he can report Liu Fan's "unsubservient heart" to the emperor. But will Chongzhen bother with this? Zhu Dadian shook his head even more helplessly, and instantly dispelled this "ridiculous" idea.

Time passed quietly unconsciously, and at the end of May of the eighth year of Chongzhen, an inland river fleet that seemed inconspicuous compared to the huge scale of the Jiaozhou fleet quietly set off from Jiaozhou Bay. In addition to a large amount of materials and equipment, there were also the most elite soldiers of the 500-meter Breaking Army.

These soldiers were the elite of the Broken Capture Army carefully selected by Liu Fan, and they were not only well-trained, but also all of them could read and write. The most important thing is that these people have a high level of loyalty to the Breakers. In addition to helping Lu Xiangsheng train soldiers, they also shoulder the heavy responsibility of spreading the ideology of the Broken Army.

With these people's long-term influence on the Tianxiong Army, Liu Fan believes that it won't be long before he can get the favor of the Tianxiong Army from top to bottom. It is through this subtle way that Liu Fan wants to spread his thoughts, change the minds of the people and soldiers at the bottom, and make them more inclined to break the army or Liu Fan himself.

In Liu Fan's view, it is much simpler to change the thinking of the toiling masses at the bottom than to change the stubborn thinking of the noble landlords. In this coming troubled era, the value of soldiers or ordinary people is much higher than that of the so-called "reading seeds" who can only talk on paper. That's why he will try every means to increase his influence on the Ming army, such as the current Lu Xiangsheng or Wang Pu, the chief soldier of Xuanda.

With these "potential" allies, Liu Fan's influence on the situation in the Ming Dynasty will undoubtedly increase a lot of weight. In the future, many reliable allies will be added when fighting against the Tartars or Rogues. The price he needs to pay is only some money and food and weapons and equipment that are about to be obsolete, and he is not too much of a good thing that benefits without costing.

On a large sand boat, Lu Xiangsheng looked at Liu Fan, who was still standing on the dock, and his heart swelled with infinite emotion. Before he came, Lu Xiangsheng didn't have much hope that Liu Fan would be able to send troops, and the reason why he came to Jiaozhou was because he had the idea of doing his best to obey the destiny of heaven.

But the current outcome is obviously beyond Lu Xiangsheng's expectations, although Liu Fan did not send troops, but what he did was no worse than the army coming out to Lu Xiangsheng himself. 100,000 taels of silver, countless weapons and equipment, this is really more important than anything else to Lu Xiangsheng now. With these things, he can pull up an army of tens of thousands of people in half a year or less, and he doesn't need to worry about money and food for a year or two. One hundred thousand taels of silver may not be mentioned for the Broken Army, but for the Tianxiong Army, who often eat chaff vegetables, the monthly expenditure of ten taels of silver is too extravagant.

"Liu Fan, Liu Jimin! What an interesting person! Lu wants to see what more surprising performance you can make! The corners of Lu Xiangsheng's mouth flashed with a hint of obvious arc, and he muttered in his heart (to be continued.) )
