If you want to talk about reunion, how can you miss two old and idle people!

Luo Guanzhong and Zhang Dingbian.

These two old goods also appeared in Shuangyu, and they came to drink wine.

Xu Zengshou looked around, there were skilled craftsmen, civil servants, martial artists, eunuchs, and nobles...... It's like a small court!

encountered such a world again, and it was not possible for Liu Chun to be the emperor, and he was addicted to the emperor. Of course, Xu Zengshou doesn't want this, after all, there is also Zhu Di, the king of Yan!

But no matter what, you can do a big job.

"I said Liu Chun, you can't always stay half-dead. I think you should stand up, you should climb to the top and shout, with your prestige and means, you can quickly gather a large group of talents, the big guy said, right? ”

Luo Guanzhong came over, to put it mildly, he was born in the rebel army in his early years, but he didn't expect to be silent for decades, and in his later years, he encountered a rare opportunity.

Lao Luo felt that he wanted to show his talent, the old man could not only write books, but also strategize, he shook his head and said: "Everything is not right, it is necessary to raise the banner and call on the righteous people from all directions to gather under the command of Lord Liu to crusade against the faint king and eradicate the traitorous ministers!" If Lord Liu doesn't dislike it, I am willing to ghostwrite and draft a rebellious essay to ensure that it is majestic and extraordinary! ”

Of the people present, there is indeed no one who can surpass Luo Guanzhong's literary brilliance.

But Liu Chun snorted, "Lao Luo, I will put up the banner now, and the soldiers and horses of the imperial court will immediately aim at Shuangyu, do you think we can win the Yangtze River Sailor?" ”

Luo Guanzhong opened his mouth, he really hadn't thought about it. Talking casually will make jokes again, he keeps his mouth shut.

Seeing that he was speechless, Liu Chun could only hum: "You can write when you are old, don't join in the fun if you do other things." Lao Luo lowered his head, but he pondered in his heart, I can't talk about you, but my pen is better than yours, look at how I make you up!

At this time, Ma He, the little eunuch sitting at the bottom, suddenly said: "Lord Liu, slave maid, slave maid is sure!" ”

Liu Chun looked at him and showed a smile, "There are no slaves and maids here, only General Ma who crisscrosses the sea." ”

"Horse ...... Checkmate? Ma He was stunned, he was a eunuch, how could he be a general?

"Heroes don't ask where they come from, you were originally in charge of the royal merchant fleet, and now you belong to the Jingnan Army, I will send a letter to King Yan and appoint you as the commander of the sailors...... Don't dislike the low official position, as long as you make meritorious service, you will be promoted to the governor of the capital in the future, or even knighted, it's all a problem! ”

"Sealed, knighted?" Ma He's voice trembled, his expression was excited, and he looked at Liu Chun stupidly, completely stunned...... However, the old eunuch Lan was well-informed and patted his arm.

"Silly boy, you are blessed, King Yan is open-minded, and Lord Liu is a meritocracy. You follow them, and the day of soaring is not far away. ”

After being reminded, Ma He finally turned his brain, he trembled with excitement, and wanted to kneel down and thank him for his kindness.

Liu Chun glared at him fiercely, "Remember, you are a general, a general on the sea, and your waist should be as straight as a mast!" I ask you now, how many merchant fleets do you have at your disposal, and how many people are willing to be loyal to the Jingnan Army? ”

Ma He was shocked, yes, he was a general, he was no longer a cowardly little eunuch...... Thinking of this, Ma He straightened his waist.

"Lord Huiliu, I can't say it!"

"Can't say it?" Liu Chun snorted: "Isn't this the attitude that a general should have?" ”

"Lord Huiliu, it's really hard to say, because people come here every day, and according to my estimates, the number of sailors in Shuangyu will exceed 10,000 in the near future."

"So much?" Xu Zengshou couldn't wait to say: "Share five thousand with me!" ”

Liu Chun simply ignored him and asked the point directly, "The situation of the merchant fleet is not good?" ”

Ma He nodded - as mentioned earlier, smuggling was rampant, impacting the big workshops that originally cooperated with the government, in fact, the most direct impact of smuggling was the royal merchant fleet.

Lao Zhu was in Japan, and in order to control the profits of overseas trade, he handed over the task of preparing the fleet to the eunuchs...... It's not that Lao Zhu prefers eunuchs, but that no one had the courage to go to sea at that time.

And the eunuchs, as the emperor's house slaves, who will they not go!

In the past few years, overseas trade has become one of the most important financial routes controlled by eunuchs. With Zhu Yunwen's ascension to the throne, the eunuchs were not welcomed, the merchant fleet lost its backers, and they could not be incorporated into the sailors, so they were in a very difficult situation.

Ma He received Liu Chun's favor and also gave Liu Chun a treasure of Sui Hou Zhu.

Later, Liu Chun cheated to death, and it was Ma He who led the fleet and sent him to a desert island. On the way back to Shuangyu, Liu Chun talked with Ma a lot, and finally won over more than 300 people under his command and became the core force to protect Shuangyu.

In less than a year, the number of people and horses has swelled to 10,000, although it has something to do with the timing, but I have to say that the horses and horses have two hits.

Xu Zengshou closed his eyes, shook his head and thought about it, and suddenly, his eyes widened, "Liu Chun, there have been so many escapes before, you said that next, will there be more, that's my credit!" "Xu Zengshou is overjoyed.

"Yes!"

Liu Chun directly gave him an affirmative answer, then smiled at Ma He, asked him to sit down, and said to the big guy: "Now that you all know the situation in Jiangnan, it is difficult to say whether the Royal Bank can withstand it in the face of a run." Smuggling is rampant in various places, many workshops are closed, and more and more people will have no means of making a living. All we have to do now is recruit troops and build our strength. Plus, we're going to go after the smuggling boats! ”

"Robbery?" Xu Zengshou asked excitedly: "I'm doing this!" ”

Liu Chun can't stand him anymore, this guy has not been normal since he escaped death, don't be stimulated by women's clothes and become chatter, right?

"We are the Jingnan Army! Not bandits! Not even pirates, how can we rob? Liu Chun asked angrily, "Of course." His words changed, "People live in the world, and what they can't escape is taxes." Smuggling is not good, Zhu Yunwen can't control it, and we Jingnan Army have the obligation to collect tariffs! ”

Xu Zengshou rolled his eyes when he heard this, you are really good at making excuses, just say robbery, why bother beating around the bush, it's really a disappointment!

"Our task is to make it clear to all ships that pass by that if they want to export overseas, they have to pay a 10 percent tax...... After paying the money, we will keep them safe, and if they do not pay the money, they will only bear the consequences of tax evasion. ”

Liu Chun's high-sounding words can be summed up as an obedient trickle, and those who are disobedient will be sunk directly!

After all, aren't you still pirates!

"I can do it, let me lead the troops, I am willing to patrol the sea frontier!"

Liu Chun looked at Xu Zengshou and just smiled, "Okay, since that's the case, you can go to Ma He's subordinates and be a deputy!" ”

"Deputy? That's fine, too! Xu Zengshou smiled and said: "I'm new here, how can I be so noisy, I'm very satisfied with the deputy, General Ma, let's cooperate more in the future!" ”

Ma He didn't answer his words, but said, "Since Lord Liu has ordered, you should go and be a deputy on the Flying Shark!" ”

"What?"

Xu Zengshou was angry, obviously he was the deputy of the fleet, how did he become the deputy of a ship, he seemed to ask for help, and looked at Liu Chun, what's the matter with you kid, why doesn't talking count?

Liu Chun was not in a hurry, "The Flying Shark is owned by Ma He, you go to the Flying Shark as a deputy...... That's right, that's what I mean! ”

"Phew!" Xu Zengshou is crazy, you are talking about the deputy, I am the deputy's deputy! Can it be the same?

But forget it, he hasn't commanded a naval battle anyway, and he learned from a ship, there's nothing bad about it, so admit it!

After eating a meal, Liu Chun had already rebuilt the team.

In terms of water divisions, Ma He and Xu Zengshou were in charge, and the administrative affairs were handed over to the student Long Rong, who was in charge of Ying Tianfu and a small Shuangyu, which was not a problem at all.

In terms of intelligence, Chen Yuan and Zhang Dingbian are in charge.

The construction and maintenance work was handed over to Tao Chengdao.

As for Luo Guanzhong, he barely made up the numbers and was responsible for copywriting.

The other disciples have their own duties, and a small team has already taken shape.

Liu Chun's profound accumulation over the years has been revealed, no matter where he goes, he can quickly pull up a team, this is where he is powerful.

Old friends gathered, and the meal was eaten until midnight, and finally dispersed...... Lan Xinyue was very considerate and made the bed for Liu Chun.

"Where's my daughter?" Liu Chun said curiously.

"I've gone to bed a long time ago, she's a little child, and she can't stay up late."

Liu Chun nodded, and suddenly grabbed his wife's hand, "It's really hard, you didn't even have a baby by your side." ”

Lan Xinyue doesn't have a mother-in-law, "What's the solution!" Anyway, there will be many days to come! She paused, "Liu Lang, do you think my father will be in danger now?" I, I miss him! ”

If the wife can say this, it means that she is already in a hurry and can't hide it.

"It's almost time to get my father-in-law out." Liu Chun suddenly got up, took a letter, and handed it to Lan Xinyue.

"That's the case, Tang Huai of Fengyang sent me a secret letter, he said that the students of Fengyang Academy are ready to raise an incident and oppose the imperial court!"

Lan Xinyue was shocked, "Aren't they a group of scholars sent to death?" ”

Liu Chun said helplessly: "Whoever makes Liu Xue not popular, their future road is broken...... I'm wondering now, can my father-in-law lead a group of scholars to succeed? Liu Chun was still a little puzzled about Lan Yu's ability.
