Picking Up a General to Plow the Fields

Li Fu wanted to invite Hu Dahai and Xu Cunren to dinner. The kitchen was too late to prepare, so the little butler changed to a steward who had been serving in this courtyard and asked where there was a good restaurant nearby, and ordered him to lead the way to book a banquet by himself. Don't forget to send it to the store.

In terms of these three yamen, the management of justice is the most leisurely, because small cases can’t reach him and don’t need him to solve them. There are basically no large provincial cases—not that they don’t, but large cases often follow Nanhai. The county has a lot of wealthy families. How could those wealthy families go to court and let the court judge?They solved it in private!

Therefore, Xu Cunren can only sleep in the back house every day, and grass is almost growing at the entrance of the lobby!

Xu Cunren and Hu Dahai arrived at the chief ambassador’s office on time. Although the three had never seen each other before and did not have any friendship, because they got together in this special place and special moment, they both gave birth to each other with emotion. Kind of sympathy and sympathy for the same illness.

After a greeting, Li Fu smiled and said, "The two adults have worked hard here these years!"

"Ashamed!"

"Don't be it!"

The two smiled bitterly and sighed, and they could see their feelings of sorrow.

In this realm, it's not that they don't want to control, but that all parties have too much constraints, not that they can easily move.

Li Fu looked straight and said, "It is already hard for the two brothers to protect themselves! There are no outsiders here, we don't have to be polite!"

As soon as these words came out, Xu Cunren and Hu Dahai both changed their faces and exchanged glances.

Once the words are open, there is no scruples.I still trust these two people, Li Fu. If Xu Cunren really colludes with the local tycoons, the Yamen will not be deserted, and Hu Dahai’s many lieutenants, thousands of households, hundreds of households, and Shenzuo are all locals. , There are inexhaustible links with the big gentry, that is their own people, they don't want to win him over.

The four big families have an instinctive repulsion and rejection of the imperial order officials, and will not win them over. They also look down on Nanbari's barbarism in their hearts, let alone disdain them.

It's a pity that these two seem to be disheartened. In their daily life, they are not very interested in external affairs. They don't know as much about the four big families as Li Fu!It is unrealistic for Li Fu to inquire about something useful from them.

Li Fu couldn't help being disappointed secretly, no wonder!The local tyrants of the four major families are becoming more and more arrogant, and less and less attention to the court and emperor!

The officials of the imperial court gave them such an impression, how could they show respect in their hearts?

After drinking for three rounds, Xu Cunren found an excuse to get up and leave first. He could see that Li Fu seemed to have something to say to Hu Dahai alone.

"Master Hou is young and promising, and he has made great military exploits in the northwest and east of Liaoning. Although he has heard of the fame of Master Hou in Nanyou, I really admire him! If there is a Master Hou in Nanhai County, there may be one. A new look!" Hu Dahai smiled and toasted and said with a heartfelt smile: "Now I wish Lord Hou a victory!"

"Thank you, Brother Hu!" Li Fu smiled, raised his neck to drink a glass of wine, and looked at the nearly forty-year-old, Zitang-faced veteran. The long years of ease and boredom made him look cheeks. The muscles are a little loose, and his complexion is not very good. He is said to be a military commander. He can no longer see the kind of decisive and majestic aura belonging to a military commander.

But occasionally inadvertently the bright light passing through his eyes showed the general's unwillingness.

He has been depressed for so many years, it is time to awaken!

"I wonder what Brother Hu has plans for in the future?" Li Fu asked with a smile.

"What's your plan?" Hu Dahai "sneer" smiled, and said: "Ashamed, my brother has been in the South China Sea for ten years. He has been commanding envoys from the school lieutenant and the generals, but it is just to make up for the vacancy. In fact, nothing has been done. What are your plans? After the handover with Lord Hou, I will return to Beijing and listen to the emperor's arrangements!"

He couldn't help but said again: "Here, all Siyamen and all guards are recruited on the spot. The Han people account for no more than 30%, and the outlying barbarians and Tu tribes account for about 20%. The rest are recruited by counties and counties. , Has an inextricable relationship with local powers. Many middle and high-level generals in the military are directly appointed by the children and relatives of major families. These people have never listened to dispatches and acted in violation. I will slowly explain this to Hou Ye. , From now on, Master Hou must be careful, and remember not to be excessive in your actions, otherwise once it causes mutiny, it will be difficult to control!"

Li Fu raised his eyebrows and said, "Is there no cronies that Brother Hu can use?"

"Ten two or three," Hu Dahai smiled bitterly: "What can be done!"

Li Fu burst into laughter when he heard the words, and said proudly: "That's enough! With the people I brought, I can already do a lot of things!"

Li Fu said with a sneer: "To put it bluntly, those people are dependent on the four big families. If the four big families don't exist, they are nothing more than rootless trees and sourceless fountains!"

Hu Dahai's heart was stunned, and his color changed astonished: "Master Hou, you are going to move the four big families!"

Although the emperor suddenly sent a figure like Li Fu to take up the post of chief ambassador, and at the same time serving as the commander, Hu Dahai already had a guess in his mind, he was still shocked when he heard Li Fu say this himself. Heart beating wildly.

After a while, he smiled bitterly: "Master Hou is so courageous, brothers admire it! However, although the four big families have little internal conflicts, they are both prosperous and prosperous. They are absolutely the same externally! The relationship between the four major families is also intertwined. It can be said that they are all one! The Nanhai County has been controlled for hundreds of years, and they are deeply rooted. If Hou Ye wants to deal with them, he must be careful not to die or suffer from the snake! Brother and Master Hou sees it exactly, but these words have to be said to Master Hou!"

Li Fu smiled and said, "Brother Hu is very kind, don't I know? Don't worry, Brother Hu, I'm not sure I won't do it! I just want to ask Brother Hu--"

Suddenly, Li Fu's expression was solemn, his eyes narrowed, his eyes burning directly at Hu Dahai, and he said: "Brother Hu is willing to leave like this? After all these years, he returned to Beijing willingly and disheartenedly? It’s absolutely impossible to be me! If Big Brother Hu is willing to stay and help me, we may not be able to fight them together! Don’t forget Big Brother Hu, my good soldiers,"

Li Fu said with a smile.

Hu Dahai's heart was shaken, and there was a "buzz" in his mind, and it was completely blank in an instant.

He sat there in a daze, as if the whole person had lost his soul, body, and everything. It was his inherent consciousness that was also fading a little bit.

He asked himself in a daze, are you willing?Of course unwilling!

Back to Beijing in such a dingy way?Can he really have no regrets in the years to come?
