Facing Zhao Yuqing's eyes full of doubts, Lu Haoshan sighed first, and then asked seriously: "My father-in-law, what do you think of the Ming Dynasty now?"

"Not good" Zhao Yuqing said bluntly: "Don't regulate the administration and do not repair military preparations, the emperor and his ministers are suspicious of each other, officials compete with the people for profit, corruption has become a trend, and monsters are everywhere, but the emperor is the emperor after all, and only the emperor is the orthodox of the Ming Dynasty. ￡∝"

The Emperor of the Zhu family, Yang family, is really right. In the Ming Dynasty, there were emperors who had not attended court for 30 years, emperors who were very happy with merit, and emperors who were captured by foreign tribes. Since the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, hundreds of uprisings have erupted. However, in the midst of the storm, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty have been passed down from generation to generation, which makes people amazed, so the saying of the Emperor of the Zhu family, Yang family, emerged among the people.

Even Zhao Yuqing saw so many disadvantages, he still had hope for the Ming Dynasty and believed that the Zhu family's country would be passed down from generation to generation.

Lu Haoshan shook his head and said, "The son-in-law's view is exactly the opposite of his father-in-law. My Ming Dynasty's energy is gone, but it is not enough, and there is not much time."

"Oh, why do you say that?" Zhao Yuqing's heart moved and asked quickly.

"Now, there are the Later Jin Tartars outside the Ming Dynasty, and the small Later Jin Dynasty is getting stronger and stronger. They treat the Ming Dynasty as its back garden and go in and out at will. They all attack the capital. This is an external worry; internal trouble is rebellion. There are more than a hundred bandits who can be called famous, with more than one million people. They have started to cause chaos since the first year of Chongzhen. The court will be able to suppress it no matter how hard it is to suppress it. Now it is growing stronger. Take this year for example. A few provinces of troops were spent, and even the Beijing camps were dispatched, but they still allowed them to escape the Yellow River and spread to Huguang and others. In this way, the court will be even more difficult to deal with. Huguang is also an important money warehouse, grain warehouse, and thieves. The chaos of the thief will undoubtedly make it worse for the Ming Dynasty, which is financially tight."

After pausing, Lu Haoshan continued, "My father-in-law, I have the most experience of this. Those mobs can be said to be as numerous as locusts. The thief's heads responded to one hundred times, and tens of thousands of people could gather overnight. What does this mean? It means that the Ming Dynasty has lost the people's hearts, so the Ming Dynasty has not had much energy."

"This... why is this happening?" Zhao Yuqing paused, and an incredible look appeared on his face.

It's very simple. When a person's beliefs are broken, there is always a trace of loss in his mood.

After a while, Zhao Yuqing took a deep breath, and some people said unwillingly: "Then tell me. What do you want?"

Lu Haoshan said without hesitation: "It's very simple. Accumulate strength in secret, see how the situation develops, and wait for an opportunity to move. As long as you have troops in your hands, you can retreat and protect yourself, and advance can compete for the world."

At the beginning, he didn't say enough, leaving a little room for anything. He was afraid that Zhao Yuqing would not accept it for the moment, so now he lays the groundwork for him first, and when he really raises the flag, his heart will be firm enough.

Hiss, Zhao Yuqing took a breath. This kid really wanted to rebel, but he thought about it. Now the Ming Dynasty is shaking, and it is difficult for people to regain confidence in it.

After sighing, Zhao Yuqing said helplessly: "Okay, I still say the same thing. No matter what you do, the Zhao clan will support you. By the way, if you need to hire people, there are 1,000 people in Jiangyou Training Camp, which can be used only."

One thousand people? Lu Haoshan said in surprise: "My father-in-law, have you recruited so many people so quickly?"

"There is a chaotic war now, and there are many refugees. As long as you have something to eat, you can do anything. Besides, there are also rioters now. My family business is all in Jiangyou. It's not okay if you don't take some precautions."

Lu Haoshan knew that the tyrants were the name of the ordinary people for the Yaohuang Shisan family. They were a group of people who had no political purpose and were purely for survival and destruction, robbery, extortion, kidnap, murder and arson. Sometimes they were short of food and grass, and they even caught people and ate them to satisfy their hunger. They had a bad reputation. Unexpectedly, even Jiangyou had movements, and they couldn't help but say in surprise:

"Hao Huang Shisan's family has harmed Jiang You?"

"That's not, but I heard that they are getting worse and worse. I have a friend in Bazhou who was killed by them. All thirteen people in the family were killed. Oh, it's so miserable." Zhao Yuqing shook his head as he said.

Nowadays, in order to protect oneself, people with some ability have raised a large number of servants to protect their hospitals to protect their own industries. Seeing that Zhao Yuqing was also thinking about this, he raised thousands of Zhao's soldiers in an instant.

It was worth his money. As far as he knew, this old man made money, opened a store similar to an escort agency in Jiangyou and sent people to protect those insecure merchants, and could earn a lot of money every month.

It is really good at thinking about making training a business.

A sharp look flashed in Lu Haoshan's eyes and he said lightly: "The 13th family of Yaohuang is so rampant, and someone will deal with them sooner or later."

....

In this way, Zhao Yuqing took two concubines to settle down at the Wenchong Qianhu House, happily accompanied his daughter to celebrate the New Year. He ran outside for a year. Lu Haoshan, who was physically and mentally exhausted, also gave up his official duties and happily celebrated the New Year with everyone. It was Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others in Henan, and Huguang, no matter how happy they were, they were too lazy to pay attention to it.

If you are not in your position and do not plan your own affairs, you will have to struggle for a few years before you can calm down. It is also because you are "not exhausted". Now I don't want to control myself and don't have the ability to manage it. The more chaotic I am, the better it will be. Now I am still in the stage of "digging deep into the walls and accumulating grain".

Although nearly 600 people died in the battle, Lu Haoshan's large pension was distributed to the court's rewards and pensions under the special care of Han Wendeng. So the year was very prosperous. Since he was promoted to the commander of the Lizhou Guard, Lu Haoshan's status has suddenly increased a lot. After being promoted, his wealth has also come with gifts. He was sent in one gift after another, and he carried in a load of gifts, including the heads of thousands of households, the heads of hundreds of households, and the small flags of the general flag. Some people reminisce about their past relationships and some people please and invite them to be promoted. Even the local government also sent people to give generous gifts so that the guards could be dispatched in time when there was something to do.

Those merchants who were doing business were not stingy with wealth and were competing to show good things to this new Sichuan Dusi. For a moment, Lu Haoshan's gift recipient was lenient. Zhao Min was like a little money fan, and she had surprises of dismantling gifts every day, and those gifts filled two warehouses.

These are "regulations". If you don't accept it, you won't accept it. If you keep a soldier, you will spend a lot of money every day. If you don't accept it, you won't accept it. Lu Haoshan no longer pretends to be noble. He wants to win people's hearts in Jiangyou and is also sympathetic to the people, so he is honest. However, his current target has become officials and businessmen, so he is naturally not polite to them.

In the past, I gave him gifts to him, but now if I give them less, Lu Haoshan will also give them a "hum" with them.

………

Happy times always pass very quickly. Before we knew it, the New Year was over. After eating dumplings and enjoying the lanterns, even if we were reluctant to leave, after accompanying Zhao Min to Guangyuan to enjoy the lanterns, Zhao Yuqing had to take two concubines back to Jiangyou. It was spring and he had to go back to busyness. Lu Haoshan led someone to take him to the ten-mile long pavilion.

After enjoying the lanterns, even if the year is over, it is time to start doing the job. Lu Haoshan’s first thing is to recruit soldiers and lose hundreds of his most elite subordinates in an instant. This gap must be filled. However, Lu Haoshan set new standards for the recruited people, mainly recruiting innocent and strong poor children, including young refugees, cannot be over 18 years old. If they are over 18 years old, they must have unique skills that they can take.

The recruitment work went smoothly. The recruitment started on the 16th day of the first lunar month, and it was completed by the 25th day. It was said that it was an excess, but it was planned to recruit 3,000 people. Lu Haoshan recruited 5,000 people at once. It is no exaggeration to say that the recruitment could clean up the number of people in a guard.

He had food in his hand and was not panicked. He first secretly robbed the treasure house that was not stuck in mud, and made many gains in Shanxi. He also borrowed hundreds of thousands of taels with the traitor Fan Yongdou with the idea of ​​borrowing it and not returning it. In addition to the benefits of tea and horse transactions, Lu Haoshan had more than one million wealth in his hand, which was also considered rich.

For the time being, there is no shortage of money. Anyway, no one comes to count the number of people. Nowadays, only the generals of the garrison station have been paid for the empty salary. Who would have thought that there were still people who over-allocated it? Lu Haoshan disrupted these newly recruited recruits and joined the team of the original veterans, using the new to promote the old and leading the new. At the same time, he also did a good job in security prevention and practiced behind closed doors to prevent anyone from inquiring about the news.

There were nearly 3,000 people in the Wenchong Qianhu Station, 600 people were killed in battle, and about 2,550 left. In this way, with the newly recruited 5,000 people, plus the 1,000 Zhao family soldiers and personnel left by various guards in Jiangyou, Lu Haoshan had about 10,000 people in his hands.

He can barely be considered a small prince.

With the order, the training began. As long as it succeeded, effective experience was good. Although it cost a lot, Lu Haoshan still used the set of Jiangyou Training Camp to train recruits, allowing them to supervise each other and make progress with each other:

"Stand up, don't shake it. If anyone moves, I'll kick him with my big foot."

"It is your blessing to be able to enter Lizhou Guard. Whoever performs poorly will be fired immediately. If there are people who want to come in, there will be a long queue. Don't think it will be comfortable to come in."

"Eat meal A with good performance, with vegetables and meat. If you don't perform well, you can eat meal B with bad performance, with only pickled white porridge. If you want to eat meat, I will train it hard."

"Hurry up, hurry up, are you a woman? You run so slowly."

"I will be in the game with the fifth team in a while. I will tell you that if you win, you can add food. If you lose, hehe, you will wait and see."

"Ho! Hoho! Hoho!"

"Ah, get it for me."
