New Empire at the End of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 50



Liu Bu said, "we don\'t have to say that we can become the king slowly. Now no one dares, but it\'s not easy to accumulate grain and build blocks."

Song xiance said, "you have almost achieved the goal of widely accumulating grain and your Liu family\'s wealth is the best in the world. As long as you have grain and money, you can maintain your current momentum. Are you still afraid of sitting on empty land, young master?"

Liu Bu said, "what? As long as I have my soldiers, I have everything. Without soldiers, I have nothing."

This is the law of survival in troubled times.

Liu Buhe knew that after the end of the Ming Dynasty, how many aristocratic families were destroyed in the turmoil of the end of the Ming Dynasty. Those families that had been rich and powerful for hundreds of years with the Ming Dynasty finally died.

At this time, it is more useful for you to have force than money. Liu Bu decides to turn all the money of the Liu family into force. Let\'s see the heroes in the world. Who can seize it?

Song xiance had to say, "young master, you have great ambition, which is admirable!"

Liu Bu said, "if you are ambitious, you are forced by others. When you come to this step, if you don\'t change, you remain strong, others will replace you and rob you of everything. You have nothing. In order to protect my family, I have to rise up."

Song xiance said: "many big families are the same. At first, many childe brothers seem to know nothing but eat, drink and have fun, but the excellent blood of the family makes them rise up to support the family and make the family stronger once they have difficulties in the family."

Liu Bu said: "our place also has an advantage, that is, it is in the Jiaozhou peninsula. There are no enemies in the north and behind. If the officers and soldiers want to fight us, they can only surround us from the West and the south, and our back is still safe."

Song xiance said, "once there is a change, as long as we win Dengzhou, we don\'t have to worry about being attacked on all sides. But there is a problem. What if they use the navy to encircle us from behind? This is always a problem."

Liu Bu said with a smile, "don\'t worry about the problem of the Navy." he knew that Daming in this era had no ability to plan and carry out large-scale amphibious landing operations, and it had nothing to do with their relationship with the Zheng family. Once a fight broke out, they could use the Zheng family\'s navy to protect the rear. Even if they didn\'t want to be dragged into the water by the Liu family, they could still be neutral

Daming\'s navy can\'t even deal with pirates. Can you still deal with me? This is where Liu Bu is confident.

Song xiance said, "young master, it seems that you have a plan in mind?"

Liu Bu said: "people have no foresight, there must be immediate worries!"

This is Liu Bu\'s heartfelt sigh.

They are the strong men of this era, but they are still trapped in the vortex of this era, driven by the times and pushed by the times.

Liu Bu likes Chen Yuanyuan very much (in fact, he likes it if it is beautiful). As long as the other party agrees, he can\'t wait to marry her back as his wife, and then be good to her all his life, love her all his life and love her all his life.

The problem is that his father has made a marriage with the old Zheng family for him. If he turns his face, the Zheng family can no longer support them.

If Liu Bu did this, he would be despised by people all over the world. He was a little upset to ignore so many people in the family for a woman.

If he obeys his father\'s arrangement and asks him to marry the Luocha female ghost, it will be quite miserable. I have died once, but I still can\'t surpass or be controlled by fate. What\'s the meaning of living like this?

Liu Bu was oppressed in his last life. In this life, he decided to be happy. If he was oppressed everywhere and controlled by others everywhere, it would be meaningless to live.

Liu Bu was very happy when he met song xiance. He had a certain strategic vision and was proficient in strategy. He could be his assistant and help him deal with many things.

Liu Bu asked Ji Yu for advice and said, "do you have any opinion on my practice in Jimo?"

Song xiance said: "My Lord did a very good job in Jimo. He not only stopped making so much money, but also dealt a severe blow to his enemy Zhou Wentong, but you must understand that Zhou Wentong will retaliate after being hit this time. The biggest problem is that local people will report to the imperial court. Zhou Wentong can\'t hold down this matter. Soon, the imperial soldiers will come to ask for guilt."

Liu Bu said: "If it\'s a normal year, it should be so, but you must understand that even if local officials report to the imperial court, will the imperial court send soldiers for such a small matter? If we send small soldiers, we can deal with it easily. If the soldiers come, we avoid fighting, what can they do to me? This is what the giant thief did, not us. What can he do to me ?”

Song xiance said, "although you have done well, in the end, such a huge action will still leak. Do you think the imperial court will send a large army to suppress it, and they will be entangled in evidence like judging a case in a temple? I\'m afraid the imperial court will take the opportunity to hold the grass and beat the rabbit and copy the Liu family to supplement the military."

Liu Bu said: "our Liu family still abides by the rules of the game of Daming, and we are also supported by people in the palace. They don\'t take it as they say. There are still rules of the game in Daming\'s officialdom. We can only do nothing if we don\'t violate the rules of the game and don\'t violate the rules of the game."

Song xiance said, "it\'s better to have a plan in this regard, so that when the Imperial Army arrives, we can\'t cope and are unprepared."

Liu Bu said: "We have a plan. We plan to suppress bandits in the nearby area. After several months of suppressing bandits, we will eliminate all bandits and mountain bandits in Laoshan area, and then establish our own base area. We are back to the sea and have no worries. We can try our best to deal with them. The place is large enough to add up to thousands of kilometers, which is enough for us to deal with the imperial court, Wuqiao The mutiny has greatly damaged the vitality of the imperial court here and destroyed the local grass-roots rule. Unless it destroys the Dengzhou front line or the canal line, they won\'t pay much attention. Now the important officials of the imperial court are mediocre, dead and vegetarian. They only care about their own money. Who will send troops to fight us? It\'s a waste of people and money. "

Song xiance said, "I\'m afraid the Liu family is innocent and pregnant with its crime. The Liu family is rich and famous all over the world. In case they come to destroy the Liu family in the name of exterminating bandits and copy the Liu family to fatten themselves, it will be miserable, especially the relationship between you and Liu Zeqing. All Shandong people know it\'s bad."

Liu Bu said, "OK! We must be ready to fight Liu Zeqing\'s army at any time."

Song xiance said, "if people have no foresight, they will have immediate worries. If we are well prepared, we can not fight a battle without certainty."

Liu preached, "I\'ll leave it to you. I\'ll appoint a special department to take charge of it. You\'ll be responsible for formulating this matter and formulating how to deal with Liu Zeqing."

Song xiance said, "I\'m willing to work for adults."

When Liu Bu was on the right track in Fushan, Liu Yuanqiao fell into a great dilemma in Linqing.

The Liu family has been operating in Linqing customs for three generations, which is very informative. It can be said that the disciples and old officials are all over the world. They usually get together with the people below. They can compete with the new boss and the people above, and always control one of the richest customs in the world.

Zhang Zhizi, the original tax boss, has always taken Liu Yuanqiao. He has no way. He is also very angry with the place occupied by Liu Yuanqiao. It can be said that Linqing people know that the vice principal of iron is the principal of running water.

Although Liu Yuanqiao said he was a deputy, all the personnel power was in his hands. He has the final say in who should not use it. And the people who have been on the side of the gang have been supporting him. He listens to his surname Liu, but Zhang Zicheng\'s position is not very much heard.

But recently, the situation has changed again. Originally, the tax official was relatively independent and did not bird the place. However, since Shandong governor Zhu Dadian publicly threatened his dissatisfaction with Liu Yuanqiao, hoping to get more profits and was rejected, he has been very dissatisfied with him.

Liu Yuanqiao was able to control the tax clearance because he promoted all his subordinates at the tax clearance, and the Cao Gang always sold him a face and only listened to him.

Once upon a time, there was a principal who opposed Liu Yuanqiao. At Liu Yuanqiao\'s order, all the 100000 people of the Cao Gang went on strike, almost stopping the whole pass. They had no choice but to succumb to Liu Yuanqiao.

But now it\'s different. The biggest difference is that the governor doesn\'t bird him. In addition, Liu Zeqing, the general soldier of Shandong, was ordered by the court to move to Linqing to guard the water channel.

Since Liu Zeqing arrived in Linqing, Liu Yuanqiao\'s life has been difficult.

Because the Cao Gang in the past were lawless roles, they always only knew Liu and had business contacts with Liu, and they only served Liu. As long as Liu Yuanqiao gave an order, they immediately dared to smash the pot and sell iron against the imperial court and others.

But now it is different. After Liu Zeqing\'s tens of thousands of troops settled in Linqing, it can be said that it has greatly changed the composition of local forces.

Liu Zeqing, a strong man, won the full support of Shandong governor Zhu Dadian and made every effort to rectify local lawlessness.

The purpose of the canal defense is to protect the main artery of the imperial court. The security of the Beijing Hangzhou Grand Canal not only refers to staying here to prevent roving bandits from attacking, but also refers to preventing the rebellious people entrenched in Linqing. After tens of thousands of troops suppressed here, it has completely changed the pattern of local forces.

In the past, Linqing was the strongest Cao Gang. They joined hands with the local guard station to control the local situation, but now tens of thousands of troops of Liu Zeqing have come, which can be said to have directly changed the situation here and made it more complex.
