In the seventh year of the Apocalypse, with the sound of firecrackers in the New Year, the new year, after Zhu Youzhen ascended the throne, was officially renamed the first year of Chongzhen.

In the first year of Chongzhen, on the fifth day of the second month, the elite of the Fusi of Jinyi Weibei Town, who had been called for a long time, finally under the command of Lu Fan, rode horses and escorted carriages under the cheers of the ministers to celebrate each other, and drove away from the Beijing Division.

And the first stop, no accident, is naturally Suning County.

Suning County, the original Yangji grain shop, now the Suning Chamber of Commerce, has now become a behemoth of the entire county, and even in the Wang family's three million taels of silver and the support of Jinyiwei, it has become a comprehensive large-scale chamber of commerce, began to get involved in various industries, and its influence began to gradually radiate to the entire Hebei boundary.

There were more than 4,500 cavalry troops who left Beijing with Lu Fan this time, and the arrival of such a cavalry unit really frightened the officials and people of Suning County.

Fortunately, the large army was only stationed outside the city and did not enter the city, which also made the residents of the city feel a little calmer.

In today's Suning Chamber of Commerce, the person in charge is naturally the young lady of the Yang family, but Lu Fan did not meet her, but sent Yin Cheng to be in charge of the central scheduling.

This made the young lady who had been carefully dressed up feel relieved and a little disappointed at the same time.

She really couldn't understand the Jinyi Guard's envoy Lu.

Now the people in the whole county are spreading it, saying that it is the commander that the lord has taken a fancy to her, the young lady of the Yang family, and intends to accept her as an outer room, and it has been passed on for a long time, even the young lady herself has recognized this point of view.

After all, looking at the Yang family, apart from her still being a little beautiful, the young lady really couldn't find any reason why that Lord Lu was so favored by the Yang family.

It's just that after so long, the Yang family has already become a well-known family in Suning County with the support of Jinyiwei, but that Lord Lu has never wanted to touch her.

In this situation, not only the young lady was worried, but even the entire Yang family was a little uneasy, and they couldn't wait to send someone to send the young lady to Lu Fan's mansion in person.

In this world, how can there be a good person who helps the Yang family for no reason? If Lord Lu doesn't even want to be beautiful, then what is he trying to do?

It wouldn't be thinking about fattening the Yang family, and then slaughtering and eating meat, right?

What do others think in their hearts, Lu Fan is too lazy to care, at this time, he is riding on a war horse, looking at the faint mountains outside the city, the reckless and vast earth, and the sparse trees on the plains, which looks extremely desolate.

During the Xiaoice River period, heavy snowfall one after another year ago, and from time to time you can see the corpses frozen to death after the snow melts on the roadside, and many fields have been deserted.

"The first thousand-household house will be established in this Suning realm!"

With a light sigh, Lu Fan turned his head to look at Shen Lian and said, "You arrange for five hundred people to stay, reclaim the land, and recruit displaced people, whether you can train into an army or not, you will always give them stutter first, so as not to starve to death in the wilderness!"

Lu Fan was in a bad mood, in the land of China, the people here are actually the best to manage, and they are also the most stable and peaceful.

As long as they stutter, they will not starve to death, even if they are tired and bitter, they will not rise up to rebel.

It's a pity that such a humble and simple wish, just wanting to live, has become the most extravagant thing in the world.

The high-ranking gentry, the so-called officials of the court who are dedicated to the people, do not turn a blind eye to this.

Perhaps, in their eyes, it is nothing more than some small people who have risen to fight, and why not die some? Wouldn't it be beautiful that the vacated fields could be annexed by them or the families behind them?

"My lord, this is still the situation after the Yang family gives porridge relief from time to time, the more you go to the northwest of the place, the more difficult the people there become, every cold winter wax moon, countless people freeze to death and starve to death!"

Yin Cheng's mood was also a little depressed, before joining Beizhen Fusi, he and Pei Lun were rangers who "walked the rivers and lakes", and they had also traveled in various places, and they knew a lot about the living conditions of people everywhere.

Lu Fan was silent for a long time, and finally, there was a bit of firmness in his eyes.

"In this world, it still has to change after all!"

Shen Lian and the others didn't speak, they just nodded subconsciously, and when they looked at Lu Fan, in addition to awe, they were a little more recognized.

Lu Fan and the others stopped in Suning County for about half a month, and during this period, it was very unexpected for him to receive the appointment document from the Ministry of War.

Lu Fan, while concurrently serving as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, was appointed as the general of Datong Zhenyang and Daodong Road, responsible for the defense of the nine cities of Yanghe Daodong Road!

After receiving the appointment, Lu Fan was speechless for a long time.

He knew that Chongzhen felt guilty about his own assignment, and gave him the position of a third-grade general, which was regarded as compensation.

Although the generals and the commanders of the Jinyi Guards are general, they all have the rank of Zheng Sanpin, but they have the authority to meddle in local affairs, which is exactly what Lu Fan needs.

.......

Datong, the ancient cloud in the middle of the land, the north of the desert, the east guard of the Beijing Division, the south of the Taiyuan, has always been the border of the heavy land, is one of the nine border towns of the Ming Dynasty.

The Yanghe Dao East Road under Lu Fan's control, under the jurisdiction of the nine major cities and forts, is the east road of the entire Datong Town, and the geographical location is extremely important.

Chongzhen placed Lu Fan here, and he thought about it for a long time before making a decision.

The sudden arrival of this appointment made Lu Fan's plan to set up a thousand households in Xuanfu and Datong two towns temporarily changed, and after leaving 500 people in Suning County to open up the wasteland and establish a thousand households, he led most of the remaining people and horses to rush towards Datong Town.

Yanghe City is the main city of Yanghe Daodong Road in Datong Town, and the General's Mansion is located in it.

Outside the south gate of Yanghe City, the military attachés of the East Road had already gathered spontaneously, waiting for the arrival of the new staff general Lu Fan in a very complicated mood.

"Zhang Shoubei, I heard that this Lord Lu is still the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and it is said that he killed a river of blood in the capital a year ago, and he is definitely a ruthless man!"

In the nine cities on the East Road, several of the garrisons of the big city gathered together and talked in a low voice.

"Who said it wasn't, I heard a letter from my relatives in Beijing saying that when this Lord Lu left Beijing, his subjects celebrated with their crowns, and the sound of firecrackers in the capital was endless, and Lu Fan's ferocity can be seen from this!"

"Okay, you don't have to be too afraid, no matter how fierce Lu Fan is, don't you still have to rely on us people to help? It is said that he actually lost power in the court, so he was sent to the bitter cold land of the border fortress, what is there to fear?"

"That's right, when I arrived in our Datong Town, there were general soldiers pressing, and there were major Jin merchants watching, Lu Fan just had great ability, and he could ....... again."

Before the garrison surnamed Zhang finished speaking, he suddenly opened his mouth wide.

In his field of vision, the sky in the distance suddenly darkened, and then, like a thunderous thunder, the horse's hooves roared, and even the ground under his feet shook uncontrollably........
