Chapter 821: Willing to be a loyal dog of the royal family
Lu Yifan was the first person Qin Feng met in Chen's Manor. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ infoNow Lu Yifan has become the commander of the light pole again, and all the 3,000 reserves he led have been added to the miners' battalion. Except for a few personal guards, he is really unofficial and light, and when other generals lead their own troops to the battlefield, he has become an idler in Shayang County.
When he saw Qin Feng, his face was full of bitterness and hatred, his eyes were full of grievances, and his whole body was decadent and powerless.
Qin Feng's image of Lu Yifan is very good, as many people say, Lu Yifan is a lucky general. When he was the enemy of the Taiping Army, every general of the Shuntian Army he followed was finally dead, but he was the only one who lived better and better, and the officials became bigger and bigger, and finally became a key chess piece in the decisive battle between the Shuntian Army and the Taiping Army.
But Lu Yifan himself is an enterprising general, his biggest dream is to return to his hometown in fine clothes, and shake the majesty of his official master in front of his neighbors, and compared with other generals in the Ming army, his talent is really insufficient, which is why Qin Feng did not reuse him in the end.
Of course, although he is not reused, the remuneration he should have is not a lot, Qin Feng asked him to go to Daye City to retire, to be the garrison general of Daye City, to train soldiers, and to let him go to retire.
But what Qin Feng didn't expect was that when Daming was in danger and even the queen was in crisis, it was this lucky general who came out and solved the problem in one fell swoop, and won the final victory for Daming, making great contributions.
Human luck, sometimes, you really don't accept it. Qin Feng felt that his luck was good, but looking at Lu Yifan, Qin Feng also felt that this guy was also a person who was favored by God, or he was a super good person in his previous life, so he could turn evil into good fortune in this life, and be lucky in trouble!
General, sometimes an army really needs such people.
"Lu Yifan, you have changed a lot in the past few months!" Looking at Lu Yifan, who was standing in front of him aggrievedly, Qin Feng laughed: "I saw you in Daye City a few months ago, you were still chubby like a ball, but now it's very different, well, now this is not called fat, it should be called strong!" β
Hearing this, Lu Yifan raised his head and was impassioned, "Your Majesty has worked hard for the country, and the Ming soldiers have fought bloodily for the country, although Lu Yifan's ability is limited, he also has the heart to serve the country, not to mention that he has lost these meats, even if he loses dozens of catties of meat and is so thin that he is so thin, he should also deserve it." β
Seeing Lu Yifan clap his chest with a clang, Qin Feng couldn't help laughing, but he knew that the reason why Lu Yifan worked hard was not because of what he said, but because among the generals of the Ming Dynasty, he had two big enemies, one was Lu Feng, if there was still a small contradiction between him and Lu Feng, and it would slowly fade over time, then the hatred between him and Wu Ling would be deep.
Killing Wu Xin by himself and defeating the Shuntian Army can be said to be different camps, whoever wins and who loses, they can't complain about anyone, they are enemies of each other, and naturally they do everything, so Wu Ling has no hatred for himself, but Lu Yifan is different, in Wu Ling's heart, this guy is a guy who eats inside and out, and when Wu Ling is in a catastrophe, the first object of revenge that comes to mind is Lu Yifan.
But what frightened Lu Yifan was that Qin Feng actually accepted his great enemy, and saw that Wu Ling was becoming more and more important among the Ming generals, and he had a tendency to rise step by step.
This scared him. If Wu Ling gains power in the future, he is still a small Daye City garrison general, wouldn't he have to let others knead and flatten it, and he has no power to protect himself. Lu Yifan has been in officialdom before, and he knows that there are too many ways to kill people without seeing blood, and you are tortured so much that you want to die and live, and you can't catch any tricks from the other party.
The only way is to have a considerable status, to be able to compete with the other party, at least to make the other party throw a mouse, and dare not pinch himself at will.
This is the real reason why Lu Yifan rose up. And the most direct consequence of his rise this time was to thwart the Qi people's conspiracy to plot Taiping City, and by the way, he also saved the queen's mother, which can be described as another great achievement.
But this proud guy didn't be happy for long, and the 3,000 heavy infantry he led with the arrival of the miners' battalion, and the order of the military department was all assigned to the miners' battalion. Seeing his own hard work, being laughed at by his enemies, Lu Yifan's heart, it was wow cool and cool!
"Father-in-law Le, move a stool for General Lu and let him sit down and talk." Qin Feng couldn't help but laugh.
Le Gonggong smiled and brought a brocade stool to Lu Yifan, Lu Yifan thanked Le Gonggong fairly, and then sat down.
"General Lu, it looks like you're not very happy!" Qin Feng said with a smile: "This time you have made a great contribution, and the queen even specially mentioned you to me, saying that the soldiers you brought are good, and they are quite disciplined!" β
"Your Majesty, the minister is also a military general, this is just the minister's business, Niangniang is really praised, Lu Yifan really can't afford it." said that he couldn't afford it, but his face was quite proud.
"Well, Lu Feng also said a few good words about you in front of me this time, saying that these three thousand steps can be regarded as a good practice, and you can use it." Qin Feng said: "It's rare for him to praise you." β
"Your Majesty, don't you say Lu Feng, as soon as you mention him, the minister's heart is quite unpleasant." Lu Yifan's face was bitter, and he cried out in aggrieved: "Your Majesty, don't you know how many sins and hardships I have suffered in order to train this soldier for him!" He was still picky, and he kept talking in front of His Majesty, just say this time, I sent three thousand soldiers to his camp, these are all good soldiers who have been on the battlefield and seen blood, his eyes are still on his forehead, and he doesn't even look at the minister, the minister is close to him, his nostrils are facing the sky, he didn't speak, and at the end, the minister only heard his nose snort a few times, but it really killed the minister, if he didn't think about being a minister in the same dynasty, he was serving His Majesty, and the minister really wanted to cut off his nose with a knife, It doesn't seem to be able to come out. β
Lu Yifan blushed with anger.
"That can't be done. If you really fight, you can't beat him. Qin Feng waved his hand again and again, "I still expect you to do things for me!" β
Lu Yifan sighed mournfully: "Your Majesty, the minister knows, the minister has been wandering around Shayang County for the past two days, he is really in a bad mood, and he just wants to relax, after going down, the minister will immediately go back to Daye City, and train thousands of strong soldiers for His Majesty with peace of mind." Now I want to fight with the Qi country, this battle starts, and I don't know when it will end, after the minister returns, he must work hard, and he doesn't dare to slack off in the slightest. β
"It's a good idea." Qin Feng smiled and said, "But haven't you thought about coming out again to lead troops to the battlefield?" β
"Come out and bring the troops again?" Lu Yifan was a little dazed at first, blinking his eyes and looking at Qin Feng for a long time, only then did he react, and became a little excited: "Your Majesty, are you ready for me to come out and lead the troops again?" However, the Ming Dynasty is full of talents, ministers, ministers are among them, they are really not ranked, and the minister's ability is limited. β
Qin Feng stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder: "Self-knowledge, this is your strength!" Because you know your own shortcomings, so you will be more cautious, like walking on thin ice, the Ming needs all kinds of generals, good at attacking, good at defending, of course, also need you like this. β
"Is Your Majesty really ready for me to come and lead the field camp again?" Lu Yifan was both excited and excited.
"This time you have made a great contribution, and you deserve a reward. So you are now a third-grade military attachΓ©, and of course you have the qualifications to lead a standard field battalion of the Ming Dynasty. Qin Feng said with a smile.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, Ronne!" Lu Yifan jumped up from top of the Jinden and knelt on one knee, "Your Majesty, the minister will definitely work hard to be a good general, the minister is not good at attacking or defending, but the minister is willing to be a loyal dog for Your Majesty." β
"Get up and speak! The metaphor is inappropriate, but it means something about the same. is neither good at attacking nor defending, but he can be a general who is loyal to the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty not only needed generals to expand its territory, but also generals to stabilize its interior. Qin Feng said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, are you going to ask me to reorganize a field battalion?" Lu Yifan was so excited that he was a little eager to try.
"Nope. Now, Thick Earth Camp! Qin Feng said: "The Houtu camp fought too badly this time, listening to Liu Xingwen, there are only more than 1,000 people left, right?" β
"Yes, there are only more than a thousand people left, but these more than a thousand people can form the skeleton of the entire thick earth camp. The soldiers left after the Great War are the most precious. Lu Yifan nodded and said, "But Your Majesty, General Liu is the chief general of the Houtu Battalion!" β
Qin Feng waved his hand: "General Liu Xingwen has been promoted to the post of squire of the military department, and now he will start his new post in Shayang County and take on the duties of a squire of the military department, so there is no longer a chief general in the Houtu camp." Now the Houtu battalion has basically lost its combat effectiveness and must be rebuilt. Lu Yifan, the remnants of the Houtu Battalion are now stationed in Taiping City, so the supplementary personnel of this army will be mainly young and strong in Taiping City, and tomorrow, you will return to Taiping City and start working on this matter. β
"Obey orders!" Lu Yifan said loudly, Qin Feng's meaning was already obvious, the newly built Houtu Battalion soldiers would only be recruited from Taiping City, and Taiping City was the place where His Majesty the Emperor started, and the recruits recruited from this place could ensure absolute loyalty to the royal family. And Lu Yifan, the only thing he will do in the future is to become a guard dog of the royal family.
