Just when Lu Haoshan was training Li Dingguo in a "gentleman" style, in a luxury carriage rushing to the outside of the city, Fan Yongdou, who had been whispering all the time, changed his role from a small businessman who begged for help to a high-minded patriarch.

In the luxurious and spacious carriage, there is also a small mahogany coffee table, there is a delicate charcoal stove on the coffee table, and on top of the charcoal stove is a steaming copper kettle, Fan Tianjun is familiar with making tea, washing cups, and finally respectfully sending a cup of freshly brewed fragrant tea to Fan Yongdou: "Old patriarch, please use tea." ”

As a child of the Fan family, Fan Tianjun knew that the old patriarch brought him here this time, which was to bring him to expand his knowledge and contacts, accumulate qualifications, and pave the way for his future position, so Fan Tianjun was naturally very attentive to Fan Yongdou.

Fan Yongdou blew lightly, took a leisurely sip of tea, and then asked, "Tian Jun"

"The juniors are here," Fan Tianjun hurriedly responded.

"What do you think of today's events?"

Fan Tianjun knew that this was a test for himself by the old patriarch, and when he heard this, he just groaned for a moment, and immediately said carefully: "Things are going smoothly and unexpectedly, then Governor Lu obviously has a good hand of cards but does not play, which makes people suspicious, when the Sichuan army returned to the city, we also saw the heroic posture of the Sichuan army, the appearance of the army, the morale of the equipment, etc., all show that it is a heroic division that can fight well, but the attitude of this Governor Lu is too unenterprising, right?" ”

"Go on." Fan Yongdou leaned back on the soft back of the chair and squinted his eyes.

"Yes, old patriarch" Fan Tianjun responded, and then continued: "It is said that he is ambitious, but this governor also takes Qian Yin a little seriously, and a dignified governor was actually moved by hundreds of thousands of taels of light, and when the old patriarch tore up the IOU, there was obvious joy in the eyes of this governor. For the sake of money and silver, those sharp firearms are willing to sell and transfer, this is a fatal mistake, it is really stupid, it can be obvious, when the world-ruling Qing Iron can ride these firearms, it is like a heavenly soldier and a heavenly general, invincible. ”

It's not bad, the analysis is the first thing, and I look at it carefully. Fan Yongdou secretly praised in his heart, but the old face did not move at all, but said with a straight face: "This is the influence of the environment on a person, this is the importance of family background and background to a person, this governor of Sichuan is from a humble background, although he has achieved a career, but after all, he is from a small family, and his vision and achievements are like that." ”

"It all depends on a person, but on his words and deeds. It also depends on his demeanor," Fan Yongdou emphasized: "When you want to negotiate with someone, from the moment you meet, the negotiation has already begun, and you want to get the most favorable terms. It is best to find out the opponent's hole cards, which is called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, winning all battles, and some people do not know. There are some casual habits that will betray you, take gamblers for example, some people will habitually blink their eyes, touch their nose or brighten their eyes as soon as they get a good hand. If you get a bad card will sigh, godless, stomping feet, etc., as long as you observe carefully, you can guess his hole cards, so that the odds of winning are naturally much more. ”

After saying so much in one breath, Fan Yongdou's mouth was a little dry, and he took two sips of tea, and then said unhurriedly: "The one surnamed Lu, the tea needs the best Wuyi Mountain Dahongpao, and what kind of jade dragon spring water does the water want, because he likes to eat roast chicken, his cook will cook a chicken for him every half an hour, although these are small and inconspicuous details, but there is a lot of useful information here, that is, this Governor Lu has been content with pleasure, when a person is content with pleasure, his will will will become weak, and his position will become unfirm, Gentle Township is the Hero's Tomb, and it can be seen from these details that this Governor Lu is being corrupted, and he is slowly losing his qualification to be an opponent with Lord Dorgon. ”

Fan Tianjun immediately echoed: "The old patriarch is right, this person turned out to be a small family, where have you ever seen such a rich and noble, he could still be self-disciplined at the beginning, but after a long time, his mind was corroded, he was really bold, he bought a new type of firearm with him, and he dared to take the beauties of the Manchu Eight Banners to cross, he really dared to get it." ”

When Lu Haoshan was talking about the sale of firearms, he was very determined to join the beauties of the Manchu Eight Banners, and he shamelessly demanded that she must be the virgin of the Manchu Eight Banners, and she refused to back down, which made Fan Tianjun very helpless.

Fan Yongdou didn't care at all and said: "It's not surprising that everyone has a sense of curiosity, we just need to complete the task, as for whether to change or not, these are not up to us to decide." ”

After speaking, he shook his head a little helplessly: "Two Manchu Eight Banner beauties for a new-style firecracker, this Governor is really not polite, Lord Dolgon, who decisively killed, does he agree or disagree?" ”

Fan Tianjun didn't speak, for him, at this time, it was best for him to be silent.......

The matter of contracting and buying and selling, now only a preliminary agreement, the specific matter, Fan Yongdou still has to ask Dolgon for instructions, and then negotiate with the greedy governor, Sichuan to Liaodong, thousands of miles, it takes a lot of time to come and go, now what needs to be done is to wait.

"Old patriarch, I heard that Li Zicheng also sent an envoy to Sichuan, should we do something?" As if waking up something, Fan Tianjun hurriedly reminded.

As soon as Zhang Xianzhong died, Lu Haoshan, who had 100,000 soldiers under his command and occupied Sichuan, became a storage that could not be ignored, Dolgon did not dare to ignore, and Li Zicheng did not dare to ignore, maybe Li Zicheng could ignore it when he swept the world before, but he did not dare to slack off when he had just suffered a defeat, and sent special envoys Chen Yongfu and Zhou Shiqi to Sichuan, whose goals were the same as Fan Yongdou, Fan Tianjun remembered this and hurriedly reminded.

Fan Yongdou nodded and said: "This is a problem, this is also the reason why the old man personally came out, although Li Thief said that he ascended the throne in Beijing, but Sichuan ceded the land as the king as early as the Chongzhen period, and never showed favor to the Dashun regime, Rao is Li Zicheng coerced the prince of the previous dynasty to no avail, so now it depends on which one has the highest price and the most benefits, Tian Jun, from now on, you mainly order Li Thief's people, and don't let go of their every move." ”

"Yes, old patriarch."

……….

Fan Tianjun said it well, just after meeting Fan Yongdou, Lu Haoshan didn't have time to change his clothes to see his wife and concubine, and the envoy sent by Dashun asked to see him outside the door, but he had no choice but to meet them again, and he pushed around while asking for benefits, and the conditions were similar to Fan Yongdou. A non-aggression pact can be signed, and the alliance will be exempted, and it is also implied that as long as you are willing to spend your blood, Sichuan's huge arsenal can be opened to the Dashun army.

Anyway, it's as good as it gets.

Like Fan Yongping, Chen Yongfu and Zhou Shiqi are also envoys, many major matters are undecided, and they need to ask for instructions, and after talking for nearly half an hour, the two walked out of the governor's palace with happy faces.

"Your Excellency. In the past, there was no one looking at anyone, but now they are all smiling faces to form an alliance with adults, and now it is the turn of our Sichuan army to be majestic. Li Dingguo said with admiration on the side.

Lu Haoshan shook his head and said: "I can't say that, there were messengers in the past, but we are obscure, and we don't want to tear our faces with the previous dynasty, so we haven't given them a chance, and now they have opened the door with the power of Xinsheng, and their attitude is naturally different." ”

"What are you going to do?" Li Dingguo asked curiously.

"Water is impermanent. The army is impermanent, so it is natural to take advantage of the opportunity, Li Zicheng became the emperor in Beijing, and there are many people who support him. The million-strong army did not retreat overnight, although it suffered defeat, and the personnel were not as elite as the elite soldiers of the Manchu Qing and Wu Sangui, but it was better than the advantage of having more people. In addition, we also control a lot of strategic places, and it is estimated that we have to think about each other, and we are now aiming for it. It is to make war money as much as possible, and then continue to grow yourself. ”

"My lord." Li Dingguo asked cautiously: "My lord, do you want to expand the size of the army?" ”

"There is no need to expand the scale, so as not to cause uneasiness to Li Zicheng and Dolgon, but the plan for reserve military service must be implemented as soon as possible, and the soldiers are hidden among the people, and if there is a need to raise their arms, where are they afraid that there will be no soldiers under them?" Lu Haoshan said with a sneer.

"Yes, I'll do it right away."

Lu Haoshan waved his hand to stop him, and said with a straight face: "Slow, this matter is put aside for the time being, there is a more important thing for you to do." ”

"Your Excellency, please." As soon as he heard that there was a task, Li Dingguo's eyes lit up, and the whole person stood up straight all of a sudden, and in an instant he became like an arrow about to leave the string.

Seeing Li Dingguo's stern look, Lu Haoshan laughed, patted him on the shoulder and said: "Relax, relax, there is no urgent task, I just came back from the battle, naturally I want to take a good rest, and I don't want to take a look at the people who are waiting for you at home, I haven't seen you for so long, I have long been looking forward to it, go back to see your wife, last time your father-in-law went to Wangjiangguan, I don't know how disappointed I didn't see you, and I won't let him go, I guess he has to find the official theory, okay, now the official gives you the task of going home for dinner, Tomorrow night bring your wife to the celebration banquet, there is no mistake. ”

Thinking of Zhu Yan's flower-like face, Li Dingguo's iron-like heart suddenly became a finger twist, saying that it was a lie not to remember, this time he won a big battle and captured Jufeng, as a high-ranking in the army, Li Dingguo also divided a lot of spoils, and had already selected a few exquisite and precious jewelry as gifts to give to his beloved wife Zhu Yan. “

"Go, go, go." Lu Haoshan smiled and "drove Li Dingguo away".

Looking at Li Dingguo's hurried and brisk back, he knew that he was in a hurry to go back to see Zhu Yan, who had never been young, Lu Haoshan showed a smile of understanding on his lips, and then suddenly remembered his military advisor Li Nian, and his heart was excited, and then he shook his head with a wry smile, and said to himself: "This Li family, there is no one who makes people worry." ”

After speaking, Lu Haoshan said: "Come on, pass Zhao Feng to me." ”

Zhao Feng is one of the hundred households of the original Chong Thousand Households, if Zhao Gongchang, Li Dingguo and others are the first batch of people to follow Lu Haoshan, then Zhao Feng can be regarded as the second batch, this Zhao Feng is the kind of person who has no characteristics and no shortcomings, he is diligent and diligent when doing things, and he will finish what he should do, and he will not mix with other things if he does not need to, he does not seek merit but no fault, but he is not bad in terms of loyalty, he is the "old minister" of the Lin family, for Lin Yuexuan's sake, Lu Haoshan transferred him to the Governor's Palace.

There is nothing to do in official affairs, but in terms of private affairs, Zhao Feng is a "bag inquiry", he likes to inquire about other people's privacy on weekdays, he is very gossipy, and he is well-informed, and he usually can't hide anything from him.

Lu Haoshan takes a fancy to him.

"Villain, see Lord Governor." As soon as he entered the door, Zhao Feng was excited and respectfully saluted Lu Haoshan.

It's rare.,My own adults have rarely looked for themselves.,This time I'm looking for myself alone.,I don't know what's going on?

Although he couldn't guess what the Governor was looking for himself, it didn't hurt that Zhao Feng was in a good mood, in his opinion, the Governor was looking for himself, which meant that he had his own person in his heart, and this was enough.

Lu Haoshan nodded when he heard the words and said, "This official is not here these days, and Zhao Qianhu has worked hard." ”

"Don't dare, these are what subordinates should do." Zhao Feng hurriedly responded.

Lu Haoshan glanced at Zhao Feng, and while drinking tea unhurriedly, he asked casually, "Has anything special or interesting happened recently?" ”

Find yourself to check the situation, this is the expression of adults who lead themselves as confidants?

Zhao Feng suddenly became excited, thinking that he had finally entered the eyes of adults, but he didn't have anything valuable to report to his own adults when he searched for dry intestines, so he said a little depressedly: "If you go back to your adult, it's normal recently, and nothing major has happened, and the brothers are all conscientious, and there is no special situation." ”

Although he really wanted to be on the throne, but he didn't have any dry goods in his hand, Zhao Feng was very depressed, but he didn't dare to find trouble, because his own adults were too shrewd, and he didn't know what the benefits of fooling him were for the time being, but the end would definitely not be good.

Lu Haoshan gently put down the teacup, looked at Zhao Feng with some surprise, and said with some disbelief on his face: "Really? ”

"If you go back to your lordship, no."

"What about Li Junshi?" Lu Haoshan was too lazy to say dumb riddles, so he pointed out the people directly.

Zhao Feng was taken aback, what did the adult mean to attack the military advisor? Wouldn't this be because Li Junshi was too good and had high merits, or he was a private party that made the governor wary, right?

"My lord" Zhao Feng said with a straight face: "The military advisor is resourceful, careful, sincere, and has no frame on weekdays, and the military advisor has always been conscientious, and the villain has not heard bad things about the military advisor, please identify it." ”

Lu Haoshan paused for a moment, and quickly understood what he meant, this guy thought he was going to deal with Li Nian, it was not bad, he didn't deliberately frame others, laughed, patted Zhao Feng on the shoulder and said: "The talent and loyalty of the military advisor have long been known to the officer, you don't need to say this, the official means that in terms of the private life of the military advisor, for example, there is a favorite woman ......."
