In the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, the autumn...

Luo Chen has been in this world for almost two years.

There is less than half a year left before the fall of the Ming Dynasty in history.

A plague that swept through most of China completely exhausted the last trace of vitality of the Ming Dynasty. The plague was rampant, and many places in the north were empty, with corpses and bones all over the field, and no one was restrained. And this plague eventually enveloped the city of Beijing.

Every day, a large number of bodies are sent out of the city for disposal.

The streets and alleys of Beijing are sparsely populated, one person is infected and the whole family is exterminated, and there are more and more empty houses.

The rotten imperial court did nothing to control this disaster.

At this time, Chongzhen, who couldn't take out half a tael of silver, faced this miserable situation, and could only cry out incompetently, allowing Beijing City to gradually turn into a hell on earth.

In addition to reducing the number of people going out, the gentry, and the bureaucrats should still be happy and continue to be happy. The literati often live in the place of fireworks and talk loudly, ***** are insensitive, and the noble bloodline is drunk and dreams of death.

Compared to the plague, they were more concerned about when the brocade guards would kill the bandits who were always staring at their families.

Because of the plague, Luo Chen simply sent most of the personnel of the Beizhen Fusi to the capital to avoid the disaster in the name of suppressing bandits. Only a small number of civil servants, and those he deliberately threw on the cold bench, stayed in this densely populated city.

The officers and soldiers stationed in Beijing were infected, and almost a third of them died.

Because of the loosening of the upper side, after more than a year of expansion, the captains and wrestlers under the bottom have expanded from less than 1,000 to more than 10,000. Of course, there are only 3,000 open on the surface, and the most cavalry that appears at the same time has never exceeded 1,000.

Almost all the food, equipment, and training expenses are supported by Luo Chen alone.

With sufficient food and sophisticated equipment, this 10,000-strong cavalry combat power must not be underestimated. Not to mention the evil killer army under Zhang Jin, which has been tempered and has been formed, although this is a more terrifying gold-swallowing beast than the entire Beizhen Fusi.

Fortunately, not to mention the treasure of Jianwen, Luo Chen's other identity, who has robbed the families of those big people unscrupulously for more than a year, can still afford it.

Also because of the sufficient support of food and money, the once abandoned intelligence network of Beizhen Fusi also began to be reconstructed and replenished, not only from the capital to the entire court officialdom in the world, including the martial arts factions are also under his control.

In addition, as the top priority, Li Chuang's army of rogues and foreign slaves have already been lurking in Jinyiwei's undercover agents.

But all of this is in Luo Chen's hands, not to mention the emperor's civil and military affairs, even Cao Huachun doesn't know anything about it.

Beisi Houya——

On this day, Luo Chen was talking about Buddhism with Monk Jingxuan, and Zhang Ying walked in.

Seeing this, Monk Jingxuan retired very interestingly.

Zhang Ying took out a secret letter: "My lord, a letter from Fengyang!" ”

Luo Chen's heart moved, and he guessed that the person sent to Fengyang to monitor should have a result. Tearing open the letter and looking at it, sure enough, as he expected.

It turned out that he remembered a record in the original book before, Ma Shiying, the governor of Fengyang, had forcibly obtained the two major treasures of the thousand-year-old Poria cocos and the thousand-year-old humanoid He Shou Wu, and spent a lot of money to order the master pharmacist to make eighty Poria Shou Wu pills.

The Poria Shou Karamaru is rumored to have the miraculous effect of resurrecting the dead, and people with weak physiques can make up for their congenital deficiencies by taking only one pill, and strengthen their foundation.

Later, Ma Shiying secretly kept forty of them and paid forty tributes to the emperor, but the half of the tribute to the emperor was robbed by Yuan Chengzhi and Xin Shu's family to save Gui Zhong's unlucky child who almost died shortly after birth.

Since he knew about this, Luo Chen naturally would not let go of this genius treasure. The original book of those two treasures did not mention where they were obtained, but only said that Ma Shiying took them by force, so he simply sent someone to monitor Ma Shiying and wait for the treasure to be born.

The Jinyi Wei secret agent who was monitoring Ma Shiying in Fengyang got the exact news that Ma Shiying had gathered two elixirs, so he immediately sent information to inform Luo Chen.

The night before Luo Chen saw this letter, the Jinyi Wei secret agent, who had been waiting in Fengyang for a long time, and a small team of 'evil killers' sneaked into Ma Shiying's mansion overnight, quietly killed the person guarding the elixir, and successfully stole the elixir.

Now, it is estimated that he has been escorted to the elixir fast horse and rushed back to the capital.

This year, since Zhang Jin was in charge of training the 'Evil Warding Killer', a large amount of medicine was required in the process of cultivating the Evil Warding Sword Spectrum, so Luo Chen had to search for medicinal materials everywhere in the world, and naturally he also intended to find some rare elixirs.

Even if the medicinal effect is not mentioned, the vitality contained in it alone is a great supplement for his cultivation of internal strength, which is enough to save him a lot of effort in cultivating and sitting.

It's a pity that in this low-martial world, the more magical the elixir, the more difficult it is to see.

Luo Chen spared no expense in a year, in addition to obtaining many rare medicinal materials of more than 100 years, the biggest gain was a thousand-year-old spiritual ginseng obtained from North Korea, and a blood lingzhi obtained from a mass grave.

Now that he has gathered these four rare top-level elixirs in the world, Luo Chen decided to invite a master pharmacist with a lot of money to fuse them together with many rare medicinal materials, saying that it will not be able to help him get through the second vein of Rendu and reach the peak of the day after tomorrow.

Thanks to Luo Chen's terrifying foundation, he could achieve it in one year after decades of penance by others. Although it is more difficult to open up the eight veins of the Qi Sutra, Luo Chen still successfully penetrated the first six of the eight veins of the Qi Jing a month ago, and the day after tomorrow is a success.

He is now full of true qi in both arms, and with the strength of his body, he can have a huge force of three thousand catties, and if he explodes at the same time, he can reach a terrifying explosive power of more than twelve thousand catties.

True Qi is infused into the legs, and even if there is no light power, the speed can scare people to death.

Today's strength, even Mu Renqing is by no means an opponent in front of him.

But Luo Chen didn't want to complete the main quest so quickly, once he completed the main quest, he would leave this world, and when he spent so much effort in Jinyiwei, but he didn't have time to brush up on his experience points, wouldn't it be a big loss.

Luo Chen attached great importance to these four top-grade elixirs.

Now that it has reached the most difficult level of Ren Du's second vein, it has trapped countless masters of the day after tomorrow, even Luo Chen, it is difficult to break through on his own in a short period of time.

Luo Chen tore up the letter and instructed Zhang Ying, "Go and call your father over." ”

Zhang Ying nodded indifferently, turned around and walked out of the back office to call someone.

After a while, Zhang Jin came in and bowed: "See your lord!" ”

Since Zhang Jin himself has also cultivated the sword spectrum to ward off evil spirits, he has been affected by many aspects such as exercises, physiology and medicine, and his appearance and temperament have become more and more demonic and weird.

Luo Chen said: "I told you before, to find the best pharmacist in the world, I want to refine a furnace of medicine, what is the result?" ”

Zhang Jin said: "Your Excellency, rest assured, the three most prestigious pharmacists today have already sent people to invite them, and the nearest one is estimated to be almost in the capital, and the one farthest away should not be more than half a month." ”

Luo Chen nodded with satisfaction, temporarily calmed down, and asked instead, "How many 'evil killers' that you trained are left now, and what is the average level?" ”

Zhang Jin knew that Luo Chen had always been extremely concerned about this matter, so he hurriedly said: "My lord, there are still 336 people left who have survived from more than 3,000 people at the beginning.

Because the entry threshold of "Sword Spectrum to Waroff Evil Spirits" is lower than that of ordinary martial arts, martial arts are extremely fast. If you only talk about the ability to kill, each of these people who can survive until now can kill a second-rate master in a very short period of time.

Among them, more than a dozen people have extremely excellent qualifications, and if assassination is used, ordinary first-class masters on the rivers and lakes will only have a dead end. ”

Luo Chen really couldn't find a reason to be picky about this, and said unceremoniously that Luo Chen himself took these more than 300 'evil killers', which was enough to sweep the martial arts.

In "Smiling Proud Jianghu", Lin Pingzhi was able to torture and kill Yu Ronghai, the head of a faction, after a few months of cultivation. Regardless of whether the level of force in the two worlds is equal or not, Lin Pingzhi was born in a martial arts family since he was a child, and his foundation is not weak, so he naturally gets started very quickly.

From teaching them to learn words, to understanding the identification and function of meridian acupuncture points, this process does not know how much time it takes. It is already commendable to be able to reach the second rate in the rivers and lakes in more than a year, although those with slightly inferior qualifications have died in training.

Luo Chen smiled: "You did a good job, and it was not in vain that I spent so much energy and effort on them." In addition, although these people have been brainwashed by your men for a long time, the poison used to control them must be changed at least once a month. ”

"Your Excellency, please rest assured, you know what to do!" Zhang Jin said.

At this time, a Jinyi guard captain walked in outside the door: "My lord, Wei Qianhu asks to see!" ”

Luo Chen said flatly: "Let him in!" ”

In less than a moment, Wei Wuxian walked in: "I've seen an adult!" ”

Although Luo Chen had promised the other party that he would be transferred to the East Factory as soon as half a year arrived. However, the situation changed, and the functions and powers of Jinyiwei began to expand and improve rapidly, which was obviously more promising than going to Dongchang to make a living. Luo Chen didn't mention it, and Wei Wuxian naturally pretended to be confused and continued to stay in Beizhen Fusi.

"My lord, this is the list of personnel who have been selected and transferred to the East Factory, please take a look!"

Wei Wuxian handed a notebook with both hands and handed it to Luo Chen.

Luo Chen looked through it, and when he saw the expected white arrangement, he nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, just let these people pass." ”

Cao Huachun saw that Jinyiwei's power had been rapidly improved, and naturally he also had thoughts about the East Factory. I don't know what compromise was reached with the civil official group, and part of the functions of the East Factory were also restored, and the lack of manpower was naturally transferred from Jinyiwei's side. Luo Chen is nominally his adopted son, and Cao Huachun will naturally not be polite.

Luo Chenming agreed with a smile on his face, but he didn't think that Cao Huachun would be cheap in his heart, these people who were selected to be sent to the East Factory were all wastes with troublesome backgrounds and low abilities within the Beizhen Fusi before.

Because the Beisi personnel have been replenished a lot this year, Luo Chen simply promoted a large number of capable people from the bottom to serve as the chief, and the original waste that was waiting for death could only sit on the cold bench, and now it is just time for the East Factory to take over.

Luo Chen looked at Wei Wuxian and Zhang Jin and said, "Since you are all here, then there is one more thing I will directly order." Those big lords in the court have been putting pressure on them recently, saying that it is not good for my Beizhen Fusi to suppress bandits recently, and the bandits are rampant and have a rebound, so I want to find a way to do a big cleanup as soon as possible. ”

Zhang Jin and Wei Wuxian glanced at each other, but they didn't see any surprise.

Zhang Jin asked in a low voice, "What do you mean?" ”

Luo Chen said: "Recently, because of the impact of the plague, the people under my hands are not very active in their work, so that this grass grows a little fast, and it is time to control it." ”

Hearing this, Wei Wuxian asked, "How many people are you going to use this time, how long will it take, and how much grain and grass will you need?" ”

The three armies have not moved, and the grain and grass go first, so we must first make plans and make preparations.

Luo Chen said calmly: "The secret agent in the Qingzhu Gang has sent news that Cheng Qingzhu intends to unite with the Evil Tiger Ditch to open the Taishan Conference, discuss uniting all the bandits, and jointly fight against the encirclement and suppression of our Beisi. Since this is the case, this time I will take him Cheng Qingzhu under the knife.

Wei Qianhu, Tiqi mobilized 3,000, and then brought the more than 1,000 flintlock pistols in the yamen. Zhang Qianhu, all the people on your side have been transferred to me, and I have raised them for so long, this time I will see what the quality is, I hope it is not just talking. ”

Zhang Jin and Wei Wuxian were obviously shocked by Luo Chen's bigger hand than ever before this time, and they were both stunned before they reacted and replied in unison: "Humble and orderly!" ”

Watching the two of them hurriedly go down to carry out their orders, Luo Chen groaned.

Although the civilian clique released some of the powers of Jinyiwei, it seems that they deliberately brought the Beizhen Fusi to the functions of the Beijing camp and specialized in the words of the big soldiers.

The judicial privileges and the functions of the spies are still restricted, if it weren't for Luo Chen's own money to develop the intelligence network, this step would really have to be strangled to death by them.

Luo Chen didn't bother to bother with them, he just asked the people under his hands to secretly collect the black material of these people, and he would definitely harvest a wave before leaving this world.

For the increasingly serious bandits raging in Beizhili and Shandong, Luo Chen actually intended to indulge, Beizhen Fusi's strength is not weaker than a year ago, and he has enough strength to make a big purge, but Luo Chen doesn't want to.

In the past few years, natural disasters and man-made disasters have continued, more and more people can't survive and fall into the grass, and the bandits are like weeds that cut a stubble and grow a stubble.

In the eyes of the upper class, bandits and others can be said to be deeply hated, and they are not inferior to Li Chuang, who are all damn things that break down doors and destroy families, grab food, grab money and rob people. But in Luo Chen's eyes, there are patches of cute leeks.

It is good to raise the self-respect, or to raise leeks.

Anyway, relying on these bandits, Luo Chen's accumulated experience points have reached tens of thousands, and with a little more effort, it is enough to open a bronze-level lottery wheel.
