At the end of the fourth year of Zhenghe, Lu Renbing took his family, Wu Song and Wu Yueniang back to their hometown in Qinghe to worship their ancestors. The news that the two Wu brothers are now officials in Yanggu County has long been transmitted back to Wujiazhuang. The two brothers went home and were very beautiful.

When he returned to Yanggu, Wu Song took a few young men from the Wu clan back to Yanggu County. Fight tiger brothers, go into battle father and son soldiers. Wu Song is in the Xiang Army, and he also needs a few of his own people.

Lu Renbing didn't care about him and went back to continue his business. In the past two years, his overseas business has grown stronger and stronger. In the Song Dynasty, maritime trade was developed, and there were more than 50 overseas countries that traded, and even reached Africa. Arab countries, not to mention India.

The Pu family in Quanzhou is a descendant of the Arabs, and later sold the Zhao and Song royal families, which is all later. Anyway, the overseas emperor is far away, and the development is smooth. In the first year, Lu Renbing's fleet was still cautious, but as Lu Renbing invested all the profits from selling glass into the growth of the fleet. In the past three years, Lu Renbing's fleet has expanded to the size of 300 ships, including combat ships and transport ships. Coupled with strict management, the strength of this fleet far exceeds that of the naval forces in a single region of the Song Dynasty.

In addition, with Xiaoliuqiu as the main base, Lu Renbing established a number of island chain bases from Liaodong to the South Seas, recruited pirates, and controlled shipping lanes.

Lu Renbing did not collect communication fees from passing ships, but developed these bases into sea supply points and overseas trading bases. The trade routes to Liao, Jin, Korea, and the countries of the South Seas of Japan were initially opened. In addition to glass, traditional items such as furs, silks, and porcelain were added to the trade.

The castle of the Ryukyu base was also built, and Lu Renbing established a governance order there, with himself as the lord of the city, with a trustworthy subordinate as the deputy lord of the city, and various supervisory institutions were also established to check and balance himself to prevent himself from being overlooked. Several godsons who had already completed their studies were sent to various bases to master the local armament and master the situation in various places for Lu Renbing.

Now, Lu Renbing's talent training plan has begun to be implemented, and strict institutional guarantees and talent training ensure that the overseas force built by Lu Renbing will not get out of control. In addition to the crew and sailors on the fleet, Lu Renbing can now pull out the elite soldiers who fought on the road, more than 1,000 people, these people are neatly armored, well-trained, and well-known elite soldiers.

Lu Renbing also had 2,000 horses smuggled from the Jin State and the Liao State, and asked people to train these elite soldiers into cavalry. Lu Renbing is still not satisfied with this little power, and the pace of developing the Ryukyus still needs to be accelerated. Now the population that can be controlled in the Ryukyus is only 30,000, and the Fujian forces in the Ryukyus have long been conquered because of the lack of climate. But vast tracts of land are still wasteland, waiting to be developed. Therefore, in the next few years, taking advantage of the war and natural disasters on the mainland, a large number of immigrants to the island were still Lu Renbing's main job.

On Ryukyu Island, Lu Renbing established a preliminary smelting industry, responsible for building weapons, and began to use the copper mines of Luzon to test the construction of the same cannon, and the improvement of black powder was also carried out at the same time.

Compared to these, those small fights on Liangshan are not enough to see at all.

However, Lu Renbing just wanted to climb up by stepping on the heroes of Liangshan, so he took advantage of the fact that Liangshan was still a grass platform team to send a large number of spies to Liangshan, and these spies were all men who had been trained overseas. Maybe it's not enough to be a leader, but it's more than enough to be the leader of the three armies of Ma Bushui.

Lu Renbing's strategy is also like this, he wants to take advantage of the rapid expansion of the Liangshan army, and insert all the people he has trained into it, so that all the troops in the Liangshan army except for the leaders are in the hands of those leaders he has sent.

Well, when the time is right, he only needs an order, and this army will defect, and those leaders will be captured by his own men, don't be too happy. Who allowed himself to have a mind and no mind?

Liangshan's army is in his hands and is an important force for himself to deal with the future situation. Overseas as a source of money and training base, Yangsan as an employment base for overseas trainers, don't be too happy.

In the future, after this army is conquered, it will be broken up and scattered to various places, in addition to the leaders, those leaders who have meritorious deeds will also go to various places to be officers, and when the time comes, they will respond in groups from all over the country under their own orders, and it is not impossible to consider changing the dynasty.

Therefore, in the following days, Lu Renbing began to lay out his own information transmission channels while operating the affairs of the official. I have a lot of money in my hands, so I send people to various places to buy hotels, big car shops, inns, green houses, gambling stalls, and then use these as the base points to gather beggars from all over the country as eyes and ears. The cottages along the main road are closed if they can be closed, and those that cannot be closed are sent into the interior.

Then set up a carriage and horse shop, and the dart bureau delivered the news and escorted the goods. The game is also made up of well-trained fighters as the backbone, and then the heroes are gathered. The dart game can gather a large number of people, and the dart games in various places have different names, but in fact, they are all people from Lu Renbing's group.

In order to manage these huge and complex businesses, Lu Renbing has gathered a huge staff team in the past two years, and now there are not too many down-and-out scholars, these people Lu Renbing did not arrange them all together, scattered in Tokyo, Luoyang, and other places, responsible for different businesses, but the headquarters is in Yanggu. Yanggu regularly sends people to various business departments to guide the inspection work. Anyway, except for Lu Renbing himself, no one knows how big this network is, how many industries and how many people are involved.

Because they are all doing business on the surface, the people who handle them don't have any psychological burden.

These businesses have only started for a long time, and they still need to wait patiently for them to blossom and bear fruit, so Lu Renbing is not in a hurry. There are still more than ten years left before the first year of Jingkang.

After five years of political peace, the door was opened. Because of Wu County's excellent performance, he was promoted to the general judge of Dongchang Mansion, and because of Lu Renbing's money offensive, he moved the big guy behind Wu County's order, so the county Cheng Wuzhi was promoted to the county commander of Yanggu County. Wu Qianhu retired honorably, and Wu Song became the Xiangjun Qianhu in Yanggu County.

The county ordered Wu Zhi to inspect, because the people in various places swarmed, in order to prevent a change in the Yanggu County infantry army, found that the armament was slack, the armor was not in order, and the shortage of personnel was serious, so he returned in anger. So he wrote to prepare his arms. After getting the permission of Shangguan, he began to recruit good sons to train in the infantry army to enrich the Xiang army. Repair the city, recruit craftsmen, and rectify the civil bow and arrow clubs to strengthen law and order.

After the armament was full, he ordered Wu Song to start cleaning up the bandit villages around Yanggu County, and even wiped out more than a dozen families that colluded with these bandits and did evil, and also distributed dozens of evil officials.

Suddenly, Yanggu County was up and down, the road was not forgotten, the night was not closed, and the reputation of Wu Dalang Qingtian resounded throughout Yanggu. After a series of operations, Yanggu completely fell into the hands of Lu Renbing. At this time, it was already June of the fifth year of Zhenghe.

Chao Gai and others robbed the Birth Gang, went to Liangshan, and then, the fire and Wang Lun, the pace of Liangshan Juyi began to accelerate. Lu Renbing also received the task of assisting in the investigation of the bandits who robbed the Shengchengang, and it was just a formality. On the contrary, Wu Song, who came to visit, sighed that he was a hero who robbed the birth gang, which is really admirable.

Lu Renbing didn't argue with him either, and now Wu Qianhu drilled the army every day and inspected various places. Then I went home to visit Wu Yueniang, who was waiting for the birth, and the heroic spirit had gradually faded, and sure enough, Gentle Township was a hero's mound.

If the few men who robbed the Shengchengang had mothers-in-law and children, do you see if they dare to take risks.

It's not the first time that Shengchengang has been robbed, and they could have escaped the fate of falling grass, but there are a lot of people who have seen them, and it is only a matter of time before they are exposed.

According to the original plot, now Wu Song is about to become a hero of fighting tigers, and Wu Dalang is about to return to the West. However, at present, the military officials, the second military officials, are doing their power in Yanggu County, and I don't know how easy it is.
