Lu Xiangsheng had just finished breakfast when a pretty maid came in and reported: "My lord, several members of the Standing Committee of the Far East Board of Directors will be here soon, please prepare." ”

Listening to the maid's words, Lu Xiangsheng frowned slightly, but he didn't say anything, just nodded. Then he came to the front yard with Zhong Dahai, waiting for the arrival of several Standing Committee members of the Far East.

After a while, the two maids led a few people into the courtyard, the first two were Gao Jianguo and Wang He, they saw Lu Xiangsheng, and they all came over to shake hands with him enthusiastically.

Last night, Zhong Dahai had already briefly explained the basic etiquette of the Far East to Lu Xiangsheng, so the other party came up to shake hands with him, but he didn't feel abrupt.

"Lord Lu, we came to the door early in the morning, didn't disturb your rest......" Gao Jianguo said with a smile.

Lu Xiangsheng was no longer surprised by the way he greeted the Far East, so he also smiled and said, "Lu is here to cause trouble for you." I also thank Far East for taking care of the little girl for many days, and Lu is grateful. ”

Wang He also smiled and said, "Where...... Where...... If it weren't for Miss Lu's rescue, the deputy marshal of the Far East Army who was in danger probably wouldn't have been able to return to Liaodong. ”

Everyone laughed when they heard him. After they exchanged pleasantries there for a while, Wang He stepped forward, took Lu Xiangsheng's hand, and said with a smile: "Lord Lu must also be thinking about her daughter now, let's go visit Miss Lu." ”

In the cadre department of Far East Central Hospital, Gao Jianguo, Wang He and others were waiting outside the critical care unit, and Lu Xiangsheng had already walked into his daughter's ward. When the father and daughter saw each other, it was inconvenient for everyone to follow, so they were all waiting downstairs.

Gao Jianguo turned to Zhou Billy and said, "Old Zhou, I think Lu Xiangsheng should be very difficult to handle, is your intelligence department sure?" ”

Zhou Billy shook his head and said, "At present, it seems that it is more difficult to easily move Lu Xiangsheng. But there is still some hope for matching Li Ming as his son-in-law. ”

Gao Jianguo laughed when he heard this: "That's also good, first deceive his daughter, and then find a way to take over his family before we go south to attack." At that time, Miss Lu may have all of them, so I don't believe that Lu Xiangsheng is hard-hearted. ”

Wang He also said with a smile: "If you want to win Lu Xiangsheng, the most important thing is to let him change his mentality, it is estimated that coercion and temptation may not work, so I can only think of a way slowly." ”

Zhou Billy next to him shook his head and said: "Although Lu Xiangsheng is a national hero in history, he is a scholar after all, and he is also a member of the grassroots level of the Ming gentry. In the future, when we go to the Central Plains in the Far East, we should not count on their support at all for people in this class, and this has nothing to do with character and is a matter of class position.

In the eyes of the gentry class, the cruel exploitation of the peasants at the bottom, the frenzied annexation of land, and the inferiority of fish and meat in the countryside are natural and justified. Even the poor peasants at the bottom of the Ming Dynasty felt that this was very normal, as if they were born to be bullied and exploited. Whenever there is a catastrophe or epidemic, countless people at the bottom can only flee the famine, and then die in a foreign land one by one.

For thousands of years in the Central Plains Dynasty, the emperor and the gentry ruled the world together, but our Far East Company wanted to seize the leadership of the grassroots units, so that we and the Ming gentry class have become natural mortal enemies, and we must not have illusions about the scholars of the Ming Dynasty. Even those loyal ministers who are worried about the country and the people, they are only loyal to the emperor's family, and have nothing to do with the rise and fall of the entire Chinese nation.

Whenever there was a change of dynasty in the Central Plains, as long as the rulers followed the principle of the emperor and the scholars ruling the world together, the change of dynasty had no effect on these gentry at all, and they would also choose to support the family that had the hope of winning the world according to the situation, and strive to act as the minister of the dragon. Even if the Manchu barbarians entered the Central Plains, there were still a large number of gentry who took refuge in peace and willingly became Manchu slaves. ”

Gao Jianguo nodded and said, "Hmm...... At present, the gentry and officials in the northern provinces of the Central Plains may have long been mentally prepared to change the dynasty and are waiting for our Far East to enter the Central Plains. But we still have to actively fight for Lu Xiangsheng, after all, he is a member of the Ming gentry class, and he controls the military horses of the three towns on the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty, if he is used by us, it will inevitably help us in our work in the Ming Dynasty. ”

Wang He thought for a while and said: "The main work of the company in the Central Plains is not to fight, but how to carry out work at the grassroots level in various places. But it can be expected that there will definitely be opposition from the local forces of the Ming Dynasty at that time. In other areas, it's simple, just talk with a bayonet, but in Daming we really can't do it.

Fortunately, Jiangbei is okay, at present, the thieves in various places have choked the scourge of the Ming Dynasty, and a considerable number of Zhuangzi have been attacked by the thieves, and a large amount of land has been terra nullius. There is also a large amount of land that is occupied by local vassal kings, officials and eunuchs, as well as the official land of the Ming court that was occupied by local forces. Moreover, the power of the Jiangbei clan is not as great as that of the Jiangnan region.

But in Jiangnan, the problem is complicated, the Jiangnan gentry group and the local clan power are quite stubborn, we should find a perfect solution, not to cause large-scale bloodshed, but also to make them reasonably acceptable. Of course, it is necessary to smash the ruling structure of the counties under the imperial power of the past dynasties and firmly grasp the grassroots. Moreover, it is necessary to have the necessary deterrent force, and it is also necessary to kill a number of representative forces in various places, such as the extremely evil forces in the townships that are rich and unkind, and who are causing disaster. ”

Gao Jianguo sneered and said: "If you want me to say, we must crack down on landlords, bullies, local tyrants and inferior gentry, and we must not be soft on what we should kill." There is no need to kill the stubborn opposition forces that refuse to cooperate, but send all their families overseas to exploit other peoples, and it is better to spread the dross of Confucianism to all parts of the world.

Those landlords, gentry, merchants, and bureaucrats who are willing to actively cooperate with us, we must also give them certain policies, and can they do business and open factories without land? If we really can't do it, we can send them to run farms or plantations in overseas controlled areas, and we can't let the people who actively cooperate with us suffer anyway. ”

Everyone was chatting, and they saw Lu Xiangsheng and Zhong Dahai walking out of the critical illness observation room of the dry diagnosis department, their faces were full of sadness, and it seemed that Miss Lu's heart knot had not yet been untied.

Zhou Billy smiled and glanced at Zhong Dahai behind Lu Xiangsheng, Zhong Dahai looked ruthless, took two steps forward and grabbed Lu Xiangsheng, and whispered: "My lord, you can just this one daughter, we can't watch Miss go on like this." It would be nice if the lady knew. The old lady and the old lady in the old house are old, and if they hear about the young lady, they may not know what will happen. ”

Lu Xiangsheng listened to Zhong Dahai's words, his footsteps suddenly slowed down, and when he thought of his daughter's face full of determination, his heart felt like a knife had been cut.

"My lord, there is only one way to do this......"

Lu Xiangsheng suddenly turned around when he heard this, stared at Zhong Dahai and said, "What else can I do?" ”

Zhong Dahai was taken aback by Lu Xiangsheng who suddenly turned around, he hurriedly organized the language, and then said in a deep voice: "My lord, if you want Miss to untie the knot now, then the only way to marry Miss to that vice marshal of the Far East." ”

Lu Xiangsheng's eyes froze violently, he was anxious just now, but he didn't expect this. Now he thought about it calmly, if he asked his daughter to marry the Far Eastern Deputy Marshal, it would be a solution, but I don't know what the Far Eastern Deputy Marshal is, not a vulgar military man.

The other party is in such a high position, he should not be young, don't be a half-old man. And at the other party's age, there must be children in the family, how can he be willing to let his daughter be young in the past.

But since he talked to his daughter, and saw the child's haggard face, he is no longer the important minister of the Ming Governor's Three Towns Soldiers and Horses, and now he looks at the problem more from the perspective of a father.

He was entangled in his heart for a while, and finally asked Zhong Dahai.

"Old Zhong, what kind of Far Eastern marshal have you seen, he is not a vulgar military man, right? It's not a half-grown old man, is it? He should have a family at his age, right? ”

Zhong Dahai's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he hurriedly said: "My lord, Miss saved that person, and he was placed in the convoy in those two days, and Wang Sheng and I have seen him." is about thirty years old, has an extraordinary bearing, and has a calm temperament, and he looks like a big man at first glance. I did inquire that there was indeed a woman in his family, but she was a widow and gave him a daughter.

In addition, he also adopted an orphan daughter of the Ming Dynasty, anyway, there must be no son at home. If the young lady marries now and really gives birth to a son, then the young lady's position will be stable, and then the mother will be more expensive than the son, and she will share the wealth with the son. ”

After listening to Lao Zhong's words, Lu Xiangsheng's face also improved a lot, if this is the case, it would be really good. The widow in the other party's house, how can she compare with her daughter, but she doesn't worry about being angry and suffering when she passes through the door.

But he is also entangled and hesitant, after all, this is his wishful thinking, and whether people are willing to marry or not is another matter. Even in order to repay her daughter for saving her life, even if she marries, her daughter may not be happy.

And after the Far East, it is an enemy country, he is an important minister of the Ming Governor's Three Towns and Horses, and he actually married his daughter to an imperial general, and spread what kind of words it is.

Zhong Dahai next to him saw the tangled look on his adult's face, so he continued to say according to Professor Zhou's words: "My lord, in the past few days, the villain has made his own decisions, and he has tried it in front of the second handsome, and told him about the young lady, and the other party listened to it very simply, saying that as long as you nod, he will propose to you immediately."

My lord, if the Far East really crosses the border wall in the future, there will be only a few people left who can stand side by side with you. You are a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, and I know that you have the intention of repaying the country with death. But the ladies and ladies of the family, as well as the Lu family, have hundreds of people, you have to leave a way back for them.

If the other party is the Eastern Jurchen and the Mongolian Tatars, I won't persuade you, but the Far East and we are also of the same race and race, and the Han family is clothed. Can you bear to let the Lu family fall from now on? Please rest assured, when you settle your family, I, Zhong Dahai, will work with you to repay the country with death and shed the last drop of blood for the great name. In this way, you can be regarded as loyal and filial. (To be continued.) )
