"King of the Sea", Lu Yan and Jia Xu stood side by side in the bow of the ship, and they have been discussing the incident for the past two days. [][]. [].]

"You can't be nameless, I don't know what name you want to send troops, my lord."

Jia Xu asked.

"What does the military advisor think of Qingjun's side? Today's Hakka fox is a saint, and he has the right to castrate Wei Zhongxian and cause chaos in the dynasty, which is the time for the righteous people of our generation to be on the side of the king. ”

Lu Yan said with a smile.

Jia Xu was stunned at first, but soon laughed and said, "Wonderful, it's really wonderful." ”

Today, Emperor Qi favors the nurse Ke and Wei Zhongxian, especially the Hak, who is favored by Emperor Apocalypse.

According to the regulations of the Ming Dynasty, the prince was 6 years old, and the nurse must leave the palace.

But the Hakka clan relied on the favor of the Emperor of the Apocalypse and never left the palace.

Later, after the Emperor Zhu Youxiao ascended the throne, he was also named "Mrs. Fengsheng", and she could sit in a sedan chair in the palace, which was not even a treatment for cabinet scholars.

In the second year of the Apocalypse, the Emperor of the Apocalypse wanted to get married, but the Hakka family was displeased.

As a result, the Emperor of the Apocalypse ran to the front to ask for her forgiveness, and handed over the matter of which concubine he would honor in the future to the Hakka clan to decide.

Just from this one thing, you can know how much Zhu Youxiao favors the Hakka family.

It can be said that the relationship between Zhu Youxiao and the Hakka family has completely exceeded the scope of the normal nurse and the emperor, whether it is a cabinet minister, or a eunuch of Dongchang, they have to give three points of courtesy when they see the Hakka family.

Wei Zhongxian can take the position, and the help of the Hakka family is inseparable from the relationship.

It was by pairing with the Hakka family that Wei Zhongxian embarked on the road of soaring.

Even in the end, Zhu Youxiao's trust in Wei Zhongxian was far less than that of the Hakka family.

If Lu Yan raised troops in the name of the Qing monarch's side, then there would be considerable room for maneuver between him and the Ming Dynasty.

Although the scholars knew that he was a rebel, they might have rejoiced in it, after all, many people were dissatisfied with the Hakka and Wei Zhongxian, and they might have taken this opportunity to start a fierce struggle for power with the eunuchs.

The more Jia Xu thought about it, the more wonderful he felt, he thought about it and said: "In addition, I think you still need a name, my lord, if you are in the name of pirates or garrisons, I am afraid it will make people laugh." ”

"And what about General Zhennan?"

Lu Yan thought for a while and said.

Back then, Zheng Zhilong also gave himself the nickname of General Feihuang, and there was nothing out of the ordinary for him to give himself the title of General Zhennan.

Jia Xu shook his head, "In the future, the bigger we fight, how about it be better to be in place at one time and make ourselves kings?" ”

"I'm afraid that the king will attract the soldiers of the imperial court to encircle and suppress it."

Lu Yan thought for a while and said.

"If we don't seal it, the court will also encircle and suppress it."

Jia Xu said with a smile.

Lu Yan thought about it.

"I think it's better to call it King Zhennan."

Hearing this, Lu Yan almost stumbled into the sea.

Zhennan Wang...... This nickname is so familiar.

"It's not good."

Lu Yan said with some embarrassment.

"What's so bad?"

Jia Xu said with some confusion.

"I think it's better to be called King Qin."

Lu Yan said.

"King Qin, a very good title."

Jia Xu thought about it and agreed.

The most famous King of Qin in history is probably Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, and Lu Yan dares to give himself the title of King of Qin, so his ambition has been revealed.

However, they all felt that now was not the time to play the banner, and that they had to occupy a big city and then play the banner, otherwise it would only make people laugh.

A day later, they finally arrived in Old Town.

******

******

The old town is actually a port close to the sea.

During the Ming Dynasty, there were often sea ships departing from here and going to the moon port to go to sea after paying taxes.

As a result, the old town is somewhat similar to the export trade center of later generations, and it is quite prosperous here.

Since the people of the old town did not know Lu Yan's reputation for being kind and charitable, Lu Yan could frighten the people of the old town when he first arrived in the old town.

They closed their doors one after another, and those who had a way fled to the surrounding counties or mountainous areas.

However, after Lu Yan distributed some supplies to ordinary people that he did not urgently need, he quickly won the popularity of many low-level people.

But these small favors can't buy those rich people, and they are always full of hostility towards Lu Yan.

Lu Yan finally understood why it was always the poor who had the most revolutionary spirit.

Because those rich people are all vested interests in reality, and they don't want reality to change much.

For the big ones, he still implements his own set of methods.

That is, if it is found that there are many evils, all assets will be confiscated.

As for the dispatch to Taiwan for labor reform, because there were too many seized materials, there was no room on the ship, so they could only be allowed to leave.

As for the big ones with good character, they buy the goods they urgently need at 80% of the market price.

After all, these people are doing business legally, and their income is completely legitimate.

did not do the inhumane act of selling Sanlu milk and gutter oil like some capitalists in later generations.

Since the materials here are basically everything, it is impossible to move all the materials here, so he can only pick some urgently needed to get them.

Then distribute all the unused materials to those people, so that Lu Yan's prestige here will rise again.

Just when Lu Yan occupied the old town and wantonly carried all kinds of supplies.

A village not far from here.

Yu Zhigao couldn't cry or laugh a little.

He originally thought that he was walking so slowly, and he heard his own soldiers say that Lu Yan had left a while ago, so he shouldn't be able to touch Lu Yan.

But he didn't expect Lu Yan to take the initiative to send it to the door, what could he do.

For a while, Yu Zhigao was a little worried.

He learned from the mouths of those two personal soldiers that Lu Yan's subordinates were quite elite.

At least the cavalry were much better than his own soldiers in terms of horsemanship.

This made him feel a little worried, what to do if he was defeated, this is his father's golden sign.

Although due to the layers of pickpocketing of military salaries by the upper echelons, coupled with the frequent arrears of salaries, the current Yu Jiajun can no longer be compared with when it was first established decades ago.

But he still cherishes this honor very much, and he has always been proud of his father.

Just when he was frowning, Huang San walked in with a happy face.

It was obvious that he had not yet learned that the Huang family had been sent to Taiwan.

Seeing this, Yu Zhigao couldn't help but sink his face.

But when he saw the person behind him, he quickly smiled brightly again.

"When did Chen Zanhua come here, why didn't you say it earlier, I can go out to greet you."

Yu Zhigao said in a very flattering tone.

"On the orders of the Governor, I went to the camp of the thieves to recruit them. Unexpectedly, they didn't know each other and refused the governor's kindness. I've heard that they've come to the old town, so General Yu, you should kill him quickly. ”

Chen Gengyun said with a cold face.

"Please rest assured, Chen Zanhua, I will definitely exterminate this Haikou army as quickly as possible, and I will never let them continue to plague my Ming people."

Yu Zhigao hurriedly patted the ticket and said.

Chen Gengyun was the governor's henchman, and he didn't dare to be perfunctory to his orders.

"That's good, in addition, if you collect the Huang family's labor and military expenses, you should do your best to do things for others, don't always perfunctory and procrastinate, chilling the Huang family's loyal and patriotic heart. In addition, if the thief army is defeated, return the materials they have looted to the Huang family. ”

Chen Gengyun continued.

"Yes, yes, please rest assured Chen Zanhua, I promise to do this thing beautifully, and I promise to satisfy the Huang family."

Yu Zhigao continued to lower his eyebrows and said.

Huang Sanye looked at Yu Zhigao with a smug face, he knew that he should have found Chen Zanhua as soon as possible, it seems that Chen Zanhua knows the rules very well, and he will do things when he takes the money.

It's not like Yu Zhigao, just a fucking scoundrel who only collects money and doesn't do anything.

Chen Gengyun instructed him a few more words, telling him that he would stay in the barracks in the next few days to watch how he suppressed the bandits.

Hearing this, Yu Zhigao hurriedly ordered a good place to be vacated for Chen Gengyun to live in.

But Chen Gengyun rejected him, and he chose the place that Huang Sanye prepared for him.

Looking at Huang Sanye's extremely proud expression, Yu Zhigao couldn't help but be angry.

How much silver did Huang Laosan stuff this guy to ask Chen Zanhua to help him like this.

******

******

After a long day's work, Lu Yan settled in the old town.

The next day, before Lu Yan woke up, he was awakened by an urgent knock on the door.

Then Yoyuki broke in directly regardless of whether he got up or not.

"My lord, our scouts have discovered the Ming army's night retreat five miles northwest of the old town."

Hearing his words, Lu Yan couldn't help but be surprised.

"The night of the Ming army is not closed, is it possible that the Ming army has called."

"Chances are, our scouts will dare to send someone back to report the news without even interrogating them."

Yoyuki said.

Hearing this, Lu Yan hurriedly began to get dressed.

Fortunately, he knew that this was in the enemy-occupied area, so he didn't dare to be careless and sent a large number of scouts, otherwise he might not even know that the Ming army had attacked the old town.

"Order everyone to gather and prepare for battle, and then you quickly interrogate the scout as to which general's subordinate he is."

Lu Yan said.

Those who still dare to come to find trouble knowing his origin are either unknown or the enemy is extremely strong.

"Got it, sir."

Yoyuki said.

Soon, all of his men in Old Town were in action.

Those cavalry quickly assembled outside the old town, and even the sailors and Qi family troops began to line up.

Lu Yan glanced at his battle exploits, because he killed some of the Huang family's resisting slaves and guards in Zhao'an, plus the previous big destruction of Tongshan Shan Zhai, now his combat exploits have 12,200 points, just enough to recruit 200 Qi family arms and 200 Xuanjia elite horsemen.

It didn't take long for the interrogation confessions to come out.

The night non-collection was sent by Yu Zhigao, the general of Zhennan Road, and Lu Yan was not particularly surprised by this result.

This is not only his defense area, but he is probably the most powerful general in Fujian, so it would be strange not to send him.

However, after learning that Yu Zhigao's army had set off, this couldn't help but make Lu Yan feel annoyed.

I'm so blind here that I don't even know that the enemy is about to come to the city.

"How many of them are there, and where have they been?"

Lu Yan asked.

"Their strength was about 3,000, of which 300 were family soldiers, and the rest were infantry and chariot soldiers. It's about fifteen miles or so from us. ”

Yoyuki said.

"Soldiers?"

Hearing this, Lu Yan couldn't help but look solemn.

Although the rookers can't attack, they are very good at defense.

Both Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou are very advocative of chariot soldiers, and it is not surprising that Yu Zhigao's subordinates are also chariot soldiers.

"You and Qingji Gongzi will lead troops to intercept them first, and the longer the interception, the better. I ordered to go down and unload the artillery. ”

Lu Yan thought for a while and said.

"Yes, my lord."

Yoyuki said.
