Seeing the emperor's embarrassed expression, Fang Xiaoyu naturally knew what the Dao was for, and he immediately said: "I heard that the flooding of the Hunhe River left many people homeless last month, and the minister is willing to share the emperor's worries and raise his own funds to relocate the victims to Tongshan County, and ask the emperor for permission." ”

Listening to Fang Xiaoyu's words, Xia Hou Ying's constricted eyebrows immediately stretched, the more he looked at this young man, the more he liked it, not only for his own sake, but also to find such a way to kill two birds with one stone, I really don't know how the old man of Lu Dao Fang raised his grandson, how he was so much stronger than his own unsuccessful sons.

Xiahou Ying glanced at the two important ministers of the Fang family who were still bowing their heads and not speaking, although Fang Xiaoyu said that he was self-funded, but if he agreed directly, he would be a little childish, anyway, he had already set aside disaster relief funds for the victims of the mixed river, so it was better to be a favor.

So Xiahou Ying said to Fang Xiaoyu: "How can the relocation victims let Fang Aiqing raise their own funds, I will allocate 10 million yuan from the disaster relief funds as Aiqing's relocation expenses." "10 million sounds like a lot, but in fact, the report submitted by the household department said that at least 50 million should be used for relief to the victims, so Xiahou won a lot of money.

The emperor has already made up his mind, and everyone can't say anything, but Xia Jun is a little puzzled why Fang Xiaoyu would agree to such a bitter place so easily, he glanced at Fang Xiaoyu with questioning eyes, Fang Xiaoyu smiled back at him, Cheng Yuhuan on the side saw the small movements of the two full of questions, and now even he couldn't see through Fang Xiaoyu's feelings.

Fang Xiaoyu then said: "Tongshan County has been ungoverned for a long time, and the bandits are serious, so I implore the emperor to send a strong force to sweep away the bandits. "Since he was sealed in such a dilapidated place, the emperor must feel guilty, and he just took this opportunity to desperately ask for benefits.

Requiring a regular army to be stationed all the time was also one of Fang Xiaoyu's considerations, so that he could effortlessly obtain a regular army with actual combat experience, and the process of forming a lord guard army would be greatly accelerated.

Xiahou Ying was in a good mood, and said directly happily: "Then let the division that you are now stationed in Wulan City be stationed in Tongshan County with you." The emperor gave this strong team to Fang Xiaoyu so happily that Cheng Yuhuan didn't have time to object, but since the emperor's words had already been exported, he couldn't refute them, so the matter was settled.

In addition to Fang Xiaoyu being named lord, his father Fang Weihong was also promoted to a general and returned to Beijing for his meritorious rescue efforts, and his 29th Army was handed over to Fang Xiaoyu's fifth uncle, Fang Weiqun, and Fang Weiqun's official position in the capital was taken over by Fang Dingbang.

Xiahou Feng, who was on the side at this time, smiled and said to Fang Xiaoyu: "Lord Xia, each lord can change a name for his territory, Wang Xuan didn't change his name back then, I don't know if you can change it?" Fang Xiaoyu smiled: "Of course I will change, in the future, my name will be Zhonghua Ling." ”

"Chinese collar? What does that mean? Xiahou Feng wondered. Fang Xiaoyu replied confidently: "I am determined to expand the territory of the empire, and I want my Chinese people to become the center of the world, so I am called the Chinese Territory." This name has such a good fortune, everyone naturally praised it, and Xiahou Ying also nodded in agreement.

Originally, everyone only thought that this was an unrealistic dream of a teenager, and no one knew that this sentence would eventually become a reality, but when this sentence became a reality, it was already a reality, and many people present did not live to see that day.

Tongshan County is located in the northeast of the Eastern Continent, bordering the Northern Subcontinent to the northeast, the Cossack Empire to the northwest, and the Luhai and Makita counties to the southeast and southwest. Between Makita and Tozan, there is a large Hengduan mountain range, which stretches northeast from Makita and covers most of the Cossack Empire's border with the Northern Subcontinent, which is one of the reasons why the Cossack Empire did not invade the Northern Subcontinent.

Tongsan County is located on the border, so bandits are rampant, and in addition to the neighboring subhuman area, there are often ethnic conflicts, so no one wants to come to work here, and the entire five provinces of Tongshan County are in a state of anarchy. Fang Xiaoyu did not go directly to Tongshan County to pay for the post, but took a brigade of iron-blooded troops to Ulan City to receive that division.

Feng Shichang and the others originally felt that they had some emotions from the regular army to the local army, but when they heard that they followed Fang Xiaoyu, they had no emotions, who didn't know that Fang Xiaoyu had nothing to say to his subordinates, and when he was still a regular army, Fang Xiaoyu paid out of his own pocket to improve the food for everyone, if this became Fang Xiaoyu's private army, then the treatment would be known by looking at the Iron Army.

Feng Shichang and the other officers had long been blind to the equipment of the Iron Army, and they had secretly borrowed the lever-type rifle and the Browning pistol with a very fast rate of fire, and it felt really cool.

The first thing Fang Xiaoyu announced when he came to Ulan City was that the entire division was renamed the First Division of Zhonghua Ling, and the salaries of all officers and soldiers were doubled.

Ulan City is about to be defended, anyway, after a big war, the arms in the entire Ulan City are not registered in detail, and Fang Xiaoyu will naturally not miss such an opportunity to reap the benefits. He asked Feng Shichang and others to pull away all the eighty-three artillery pieces left in the battle in Ulan City, and also brought enough ammunition. Although Fang Xiaoyu was a little disdainful of these artillery, he couldn't cast the artillery himself at the moment, so he couldn't let the artillery of up to 1,500 people be empty-handed and unarmed.

Fang Xiaoyu brought enough carts to make a fortune first, anyway, the emperor felt indebted to himself, as long as he didn't go too far, the emperor would turn a blind eye even if he knew the way, so Fang Xiaoyu took away half of the military supplies in Ulan City before leaving, and in order to carry these materials, he requisitioned all the tens of thousands of war horses captured in the last war.

The troops who came to take over the defense were from the Xia family, and they were all their own people, and the commander only smiled bitterly at Fang Xiaoyu's wanton looting and didn't say anything. These materials were written as combat consumption with a stroke of a pen, anyway, the inventory has not been reported since the last battle, and this time it is less reported, which makes it even more fierce that the last battle was fierce.

The immigration of Tongshan County has not yet begun, Fang Xiaoyu thinks that the bandits should be cleared before immigration, it is now close to spring, if he does not start ploughing the land, I am afraid that it will delay a season of crops, but Fang Xiaoyu doesn't care, this time he brought out a large amount of grain from Wulan City, enough for 500,000 people to eat for a year, and if he needs, Xiaofeng's agricultural equipment warehouse also has time to produce enough high-quality seeds.

Fang Xiaoyu first arrived at Tongjiang Province, located in the westernmost part of Tongshan County, where a Songjiang River from the Dahengduan Mountains passed through it, forming a fertile Songjiang Plain. With such geographical advantages, Tongjiang Province used to be the only grain-producing province in Tongshan County, supplying the grain of the entire Tongshan County.

At this time, the city of Tongjiangfu has long ceased to be prosperous, there are broken bricks and tiles everywhere, and in some low thatched houses, the residents with vegetables on their faces look indifferently at the army that marched into the city. Seeing the dilapidated mansion that didn't even have a gate, Fang Xiaoyu sighed, he had already imagined the environment here to be bad enough, but he didn't expect the reality to be even worse.

Without entering the yamen, Fang Xiaoyu asked Feng Shichang to bring soldiers to gather the people here to the square in the center of the city. After a full hour, less than 10,000 people slowly gathered. Feng Shichang walked over to Xiaoyu with a little regret and said, "Lord Lord, there are only so many people in the city. ”

Fang Xiaoyu smiled: "When you get here, you will change your name?" Why did you treat me as an outsider? Feng Shichang blushed and said: "This is the rule of the empire, and we also follow the rules." Fang Xiaoyu smiled: "I am the lord here, and I will follow my rules in the future." You go back and talk to your brothers, and you don't have to call me division commander or lord in the future. You are all my old brothers, just call me young master in the future. ”

"Yes, young master." Feng Shichang was moved when he heard this, Fang Xiaoyu said this, and regarded them as his cronies. Feng Shichang said again: "Young master, these people are ......" Fang Xiaoyu smiled: "It doesn't matter if there are few people, just wait for the arrival of immigrants." ”

Fang Xiaoyu walked to a high platform made of earth and said loudly to the people: "Hello everyone, my name is Fang Xiaoyu. From today onwards, I will be the lord of Tongshan County. Hearing that such a young man had become the lord here, the people below immediately began to discuss.

After a while, a middle-aged man separated from the crowd and walked out and saluted Fang Xiaoyu and said, "Lord Lord, I want to ask on behalf of everyone, we have not had officials here for ten years, and everyone has suffered from banditry, I don't know what Lord Lu Dao is going to do." ”
