    From winter to spring, everything recovers, and a hundred flowers bloom. Unknowingly, time has quietly entered the second year of Honghua in Dazhou. In March, as a large amount of grain from the south of the Yangtze River entered Beijing, the price of grain in the famine-plagued Gyeonggi area gradually fell.  Back to the normal level, and with the gradual stabilization of law and order, the Nine Cities of Beijing has gradually restored the prosperity and excitement of the past.  When land prices plummeted due to repeated military turmoil, he bought a piece of land he wanted in the city of Beijing, opened various businesses, and all businesses gradually prospered, presenting a gratifying scene of prosperity.

    It is not only the common people and businessmen who moved into the capital in large numbers, but also the family members of the Fatty Army and the government offices are also moving to Beijing. In order to accommodate these old and weak women and children, Lu Fatty ordered the inner city of Beijing to be divided into two, from Fuchengmen to Chaoyang  The straight street of the gate is the boundary, and the northern half is vacated to accommodate the families, wives and children of the main generals and dignitaries of the Fatty Army. The southern half is sold to the common people except for the confiscated mansion of Prince Qing Qing.  Jiangnan bought food and porridge to help the people of Zhili survive the famine, bought seeds and farm tools and distributed them to poor people for free, and artificially accelerated the economic recovery of Gyeonggi.

    The north and south cities are not separated by city walls, and people can come and go as they please, but the land in the north city is not allowed to be bought and sold for the time being, and they are preparing to arrange it for the old Pingxi palace vassals who will surrender in the future.  The most, and the sacrifice is the biggest. Although Fatty Lu did not imagine that the Qing court raised these people with hard-core crops, he had to do something to repay them.

    Among the old Pingxi Palace vassals, the first batch of beneficiaries, in addition to the old man of Pingxi Palace in the Fatty Army, and then the old man of Pingxi Palace in the team of Old General Ma and BMW, after the old man of Pingxi Palace in the team of Old General Ma entered Beijing  , everyone immediately got a house in the inner city of Beijing, and an enclosure confiscated from the Eight Banners of Mite Qing. Old General Ma simply lived in Prince Kang's mansion next to the imperial city.  When the old people in Pingxi Wangfu in General Ma's team thanked Fatty Lu together, Fatty Lu said with a smile: "I wanted to give you more, but the world is not peaceful yet, and the military expenditure is too high, so I will talk about it later."  .¡±

    Hearing Fatty Lu's words, in order to show their loyalty, the generals of Ma Bao's army, who had just surrendered, were of course scrambling to salute and ask for a fight.  The leading generals from all walks of life in the palace wrote letters to appease these leading generals on behalf of Fatty Lu. Using himself as an example, he persuaded these people to be like him and return the territory with the troops to the embrace of the King of Yue.  At the same time, in order to start the war to recover Liaodong, Fatty Lu appointed Du Hui as the admiral of the Liaodong Navy, and placed it under Gao Dejie's command. He was sent to Shanhaiguan to form the Qinhuangdao Navy of the Fatty Army. Du Hui readily obeyed.

    In fact, there is no need for General Ma to waste time writing letters to appease him. As the number one general of the non-Wu clan and Wu's relatives in the old Pingxi Palace, General Ma joined the Fat Army with his team and territory and exchanged countless riches and honors.  As the news spread, all the generals in the Pingxi Palace who were not from the Wu clan's relatives were already very excited and eager to try. They sent envoys or secret agents one after another to try to get in touch with Fatty Lu, and wanted to see what price Fatty Lu was going to buy.  their ranks and territory.  After all, these people have no prestige and are not strong enough to protect themselves. No matter how ambitious they are, they will not be able to make big waves. It is better to find a good master and sell themselves for a piece of glory and wealth. Future generations will thank you  Own.

    Representatives of this type of people are of course Wang Pingfan and Wang Fuchen who are entrenched in Shaanxi and Gansu. Their army strength is indeed not weak, but due to environmental constraints, it is impossible to achieve self-sufficiency in food, grass and military pay on the site, and they are surrounded by several powerful enemies.  There is no capital to be independent, so after the Fatty Army general Han Daren captured the entire territory of Shanxi and bordered them, Wang Fuchen and Wang Pingfan inevitably both sent envoys to get in touch with the Fatty Army to test the Fatty Army's appeasement to them.  manner.  In Wang Pingfan's letter to Fatty Lu, in addition to testing whether Fatty Lu intends to appease him, he also asked Fatty Lu a very sensitive question-for whom is Fatty Lu planning to rule the world?  For the descendants of old traitor Wu, or for Fatty Lu himself?

    Of course, Fatty Lu would not answer Wang Pingfan's question. Not only did he not answer, but he also wrote back to scold Wang Pingfan bloody, and pointedly pointed out that Wang Pingfan has not captured Tongguan so far. It is not a matter of strength or the dangerous terrain of Tongguan.  It's about Wang Pingfan's mentality!  I want to keep Tong Huinian, the remnant of the Qing army, as an excuse to avoid being involved in the Wu army's civil war, and to avoid taking a position in the Wu army's civil war!  With such sinister intentions, what qualifications do you have to ask yourself if you have the ambition to usurp the throne?  If you want to join the Fat Man Army, you can first use Tong Huinian's head as a certificate of honor, don'tThe recruits escorted another batch of food, grass and weapons from the south of the Yangtze River to the south, preparing to launch the Fujian war.  Regarding this, if Geng Jingzhong sent an envoy to inquire about the reason, he would reply that it was to prevent Zheng Jing from raiding the coast.

    Fatty Lu's third order was to give Li Tianzhi the emissary to hand over the book of covenant presented by Ma Bao and the declaration of war against Geng Jingzhong to Li Tianzhi, and let Li Tianzhi find an excuse to invite Geng Jingzhong to the north of Fenshui Pass two months later.  At the meeting, if Geng Jingzhong dared to go out of Fenshui Pass, then he would show evidence of Geng Jingzhong's rebellion, take Geng Jingzhong into custody and send him to Beijing, and then use Shang Zhixin to expose Geng Jingzhong's rebellion, and then march into Fujian and seize the entire territory of Fujian.

    If Geng Jingzhong was afraid that it was the Hongmen Banquet that did not dare to go out of the Fenshui Pass, Geng Jingzhong would definitely send an envoy to reply, then Li Tianzhi would present the evidence of Geng Jingzhong's rebellion in front of Geng Jingzhong's envoy, kill Shang Zhixin who betrayed Geng Jingzhong, and then  Let Geng Jingzhong's envoys bring the declaration of war back to Fujian, and then Li Tianzhi directly sent troops to attack Fenshui Pass, and regained the entire Fujian by force!  At the same time, Fatty Lu also gave Li Tianzhi a letter of surrender against Geng Jingzhong in advance, that is, if Geng Jingzhong surrenders military power and Fujian, his family will not die, and Geng Jingzhong will be granted the title of Duke Shunyi and Beijing.

    This vicious plan was all arranged by Fatty Lu, and Fatty Lu's confidantes didn't intervene until Fatty Lu finished arranging it. Yao Qisheng thought for a long time before interjecting, reminding: "My lord, I think your plan is worthless."  Mi Yishu, you killed him because Shang Zhixin betrayed Geng Jingzhong, but before we do it, what if Shang Zhixin¡¯s army does not act abnormally? If Shang Zhixin didn¡¯t prepare for war at all, wouldn¡¯t it prove that Shang Zhixin is innocent  ?¡±

    "No." Fatty Lu waved his hand and said with a sneer: "Geng Jingzhong's main force went south to fight Zheng Jing, and General Liu Jinzhong controlled an enclave in Chaozhou for us.  1. And after receiving the news that our army has increased its troops in Zhejiang and attacked southern Jiangxi, the two youngsters have a guilty conscience, so can¡¯t they prepare for defense? Especially Geng Jingzhong, who will definitely pour tears and snot at Shang Zhixin  Please help, even if Shang Zhixin just randomly sends some people to Jiaying Prefecture to make a show, once my declaration of war is announced, it will become an irrefutable proof that Shang Zhixin and us have joined hands to attack Geng Jingzhong!"

    "My lord's words are very true. I really forgot to calculate this point." Yao Qisheng nodded, and then suggested: "Your lord, just to be on the safe side, I suggest that the envoy we send to read the decree to Shang Zhixin can come before Shang Zhixin.  Just to mention it casually, it is said that his wax ball secret book was leaked to that person on purpose in order to instigate someone and the Man dog team to attack us, and then the man took the wax ball secret book to the man.  The prince asked for credit in front of him, in exchange for the prince not withdrawing his domain and seizing his seal, the prince was worried that this secret book would be used by that person, so he sent it to Guangzhou and destroyed it in front of the prince."

    "Planting it on Geng Jingzhong? What if Shang Zhixin sends an envoy to question him?" Fatty Lu wondered, "Geng Jingzhong definitely doesn't know the existence of this wax ball secret book. When the two families confront each other, isn't this king's clever plan?"  exposed?"

    "Prince Geng swears, will Prince Shang believe it?" Yao Qisheng smiled and asked: "Don't Prince Shang think so, it is because Prince Geng betrayed him, so Prince Geng refused to admit it?"

    "But in this way, when I plant Shang Zhixin to betray Geng Jingzhong, Shang Zhixin will understand that I have played tricks on him when he receives the news, and he may fall to Guo Zhuangtu?" Fatty Lu proposed another  New possibility, "At that time, Guo Zhuangtu will mediate again to reconcile the conflict, and these three young men will hook up again."

    "Your official thinks that the prince doesn't need to worry so much." Yao Qisheng replied: "In the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy and tricks are only auxiliary.  The boys don¡¯t trust each other, and they don¡¯t do their best to rescue each other. Our series of ecstasy schemes are used, and the fragile alliance of the three 25-year-old boys is almost torn apart. It is impossible to trust each other anymore, and that is enough for us.  gone."

    "What's more, even if it's not superfluous, we planted Shang Zhixin to betray Geng Jingzhong, but Shang Zhixin has never done this at all. We can still ask Guo Zhuangtu to mediate and reconcile the conflict. And we will provoke Shang Zhixin's hatred of Geng Jingzhong,  Even if Shang Zhixin finds out that he has been duped, he will hesitate for a while, considering whether to continue to join forces with Geng Jingzhong, or to go downhill and directly join forces with us."

    Fatty Lu pondered, and soon smiled again and said: "Let's add another thing to the snake. With my brother-in-law's suspicious and irritable temper, such a superfluous one may bring us unexpected surprises."
