"Mr. Fang, please invite the mansion to serve tea. If you have any questions, let's go in and talk about it. (_《》)

Fang Fengshi nodded with a face and strode in.

The two entered the side hall and served tea. Lian Zining stepped back from the servant who was serving him and said, "What is Lord Fang doing now, can you tell me?"

Fang Fengshi blinked his eyes, suddenly pulled Lian Zining's sleeve, and said with tears in his eyes: "Sir Lian, I am here this time, I would like to give you a way out for all the scholars in the six counties!"

"Ah?" Fang Fengshi's sudden change in attitude made Lian Zining stunned, thinking that the old man had changed his face too quickly, right?

But he didn't know that Fang Fengshi was such a wise man. He was humorous and funny, and humorous and wise. The old man won all of his career in 19 years. He served as an official for more than 30 years. He first became a scholar-official teacher in his government. Last year, he was transferred from Zhejiang to Shandong academician. Although the old man was engaged in education, he laughed, scolded and was free and easy, and had a bit of the meaning of a well-known university professor in later generations. He was very popular among students.

With a thought in his mind, Lian Zining looked frightened and quickly stood up and helped Fang Fengshi sit down, pretending to be shocked: "Oh, sir, what are you doing? The scholars from the six counties, what's wrong with them? Why did you let the lower officials let them live? The lower officials don't understand now! Did they kidnap the Green Forest hero? Need the lower officials to send troops to rescue?"

Fang Fengshi took his dirty hands and his face suddenly turned black and white. He pointed at Lian Zining and said angrily: "Okay, even sir, we are not secretly talking. What you did is spread throughout Jinan Prefecture. What are you still pretending here? I'm just saying one thing now, will you give you a way to live?"

When Lian Zining saw that he said this, it would be boring to pretend again, so he slowly shook his head: "I won't give it!"

He said lightly: "Sir, if you can take them all to Jinan Prefecture to raise them, the officials will naturally not stop them. However, the heavy snow has just stopped and the snow is very thick. There are hundreds of scholars in the six counties, so I am afraid it is not easy to deal with!"

Fang Fengshi said that he was honest and honest. Where did he get so much money? He looked at Lian Zining, blinked his eyes and suddenly jumped up, which scared Lian Zining. However, he didn't expect that this third-rank official, the capital, knelt on the ground and cried, "Sir Lian, Master Lian, even if the old man begs you, please show your compassion! This is more than a hundred lives. If so many scholars died in your jurisdiction, I am afraid that the superiors will blame you, and you will not be able to explain!"

Lian Zining was really scared this time. Why did this old man kneel? Isn’t this a scoundrel? But I have to say that this method is the most effective against him. Now everyone can see clearly that Lian Zining, who is ten hob-like figures, is not as soft as a hob, but he is still hard, but he quickly moves aside and kneels down. The two of them kneel face to face, just like worshiping the world. Lian Zining said helplessly: "Sir, get up first, let's talk about it slowly!"

"Just one word, do you agree or not? Say something!" Fang Fengshi's eyes rolled around and he stayed on the ground and refused to get up.

Lian Zining was helpless. Now he had roughly found a little about this master Fang Fengshi's xingzi. This old man was probably such a person who was not polite and like an old naughty boy, but he was really kind-hearted and came to ask for himself for some irrelevant scholars. Once such people knew something, it would be the most difficult to deal with and it was a headache.

He had no choice but to spread his hands and said, "It's not that the officials will not let them go. It's really because these scholars have inflicted public anger. The gentry and people of the six counties will not let them go!"

Fang Fengshi said: "Don't mess with these useless things, just say, what are the conditions!"

Lian Zining smiled embarrassedly: "As long as you can always let these scholars put their fingerprints on this document, then the official should not be as you wish."

After saying that, he took out a piece of paper from his arms, wrote a few lines of words on it, and handed it to Fang Fengshi.

Fang Fengshi finished watching, staring at Lian Zining, and his mouth trembled: "You, you are so cruel!"

Lian Zining smiled and said nothing.

There is nothing else written on this piece of paper, because Lian Zining knew that it was not useful to have an agreement with these literati, and to sign so-called non-blame clauses with each other, and that was useless. These literati could forget everything in a blink of an eye and would never keep their promises. The paper was just covered with all kinds of crimes, such as uncle and sister-in-law, cheating in the exam, disobeying parents, etc., which are not the most deadly crimes, but they are the most taboo thing in the so-called literati's character - as long as they draw and press the fingerprints, they will never be able to become officials in the future.

Fame!

This is Lian Zining's usual trick. It was like this in Liuzhen, the official road that day. Naturally, he could not starve all these scholars to death. He could not afford the consequences. He originally planned to wait a few days before the scholars could not stand it, so he asked them to sign this thing. He was not afraid that they would not sign it. Literature is the most particular about character, but literati are often the least characterless.

But unexpectedly, Fang Fengshi came to him by himself, so Lian Zining naturally took advantage of this opportunity.

Lian Zining spread his hands: "Sir, as long as you can get them to draw a ban, the lower official will immediately lift the ban without saying a word. In addition, each person will give it twenty taels of silver, which is considered a plea for the lower official. If you can't do it, please go back!"

Although Fang Fengshi was unwilling to accept it, he knew that this was the best result he could win. He immediately got up, without any delay, grabbed the document and walked out.

Lian Zining quickly followed out and sent a small flag's personal soldiers as his guard. The group quickly left.

Fang Fengshi is indeed extremely famous. He is extremely prestigious among these scholars and students in Shandong. Two days later, Fang Fengshi, who was exhausted and covered in dust, came to the yamen of the six counties again, and brought Lian Zining a picture and handprint of 131 scholars who were involved in the matter.

The little flag following next to him confirmed that these seals and handprints were indeed true, and they saw them with their own eyes.

The great thing was done, Lian Zining naturally kept his promise, wrote a few notes, and sent a fast horse to the six counties. Suddenly, all the shops in the six counties were opened to these scholars again.

The scholars who were almost half-starved were flocked to the restaurant and ate like starving ghosts. Many people almost died of slaughter because they ate too much.

After this battle, these scholars' arrogance on weekdays were immediately suppressed. Not to mention that they were just having their tails, they were still full of arrogance.

There is no doubt that they hate Lian Zining now, but even Zining is naturally not afraid of it. First, the evidence is in the hands of the law, and not afraid of them being furious. Second, with the terrifying admission rate of the imperial examination system, how many of the scholars can be admitted to the juren in the hundreds? I am afraid that none of them can pass the imperial examinations! There is no threat!

Lian Zining held a banquet in the mansion to entertain Fang Fengshi. Based on the simple idea of ​​eating a little bit, Fang Fengshi went to the banquet with a sigh.

During the meal, there were many delicious delicacies. There were thirty or fifty girls serving them, which made people confused. While Fang Fengshi fully realized the rich wealth of the six county guards, Lian Zining also had a little more understanding of this Shandong academician. This adult is a rare true love person in the officialdom. Although he is not young, he is innocent, funny and humorous. He is a person who can make friends with him. The two of them have a great time talking in detail.

When the banquet ended, Fang Fengshi had a much better impression of him. After all, although Lian Zining's methods were ruthless, he could not surrender the battles in the officialdom, right? Fang Fengshi also knew very well.

This major event has finally ended successfully, and even Zining can devote more energy to recruitment and training for new square arrays.

Two more days later, all the preparations were completed, and the entire Wuyi Army began to move forward for the new military work.

——Separation line—

On December 10, the 50th year of Zhengde in the Ming Dynasty, the government office of Leling County was guarding the government office.

In the hall, nineteen Wu Yi Army's households were gathered together, talking and greeting each other.

When he left Beijing that day, more than 2,000 Wuyi soldiers, after several consecutive battles, were only more than 1,900 left, and one of the twenty hundred households died in battle, leaving only nineteen people.

These nineteen sixth-rank households are the powerful middle class of Lian Zining's rule.

They are all brothers from the official road Liu Zhenchen name Baihu. In just over half a year, their temperament has changed drastically. After being an official for a long time, they are domineering and giving orders. Naturally, they have a majesty that ordinary people fear, which is the so-called official power. However, when they meet, they take off the thick mask and laugh and scold Wuji, just like when they were in the town, stealing chickens, dogs and eating meat together.

Everyone thought about the years half a year ago, and it turned out to be like a dream, as if it was a very far away thing.

The more than half a year of military camp life, the tempering of war and the baptism of blood, cleans them from either slick, reckless, incompetent, or cowardly, and truly become old birds of war. The strong and powerful middle-level commanders are the cornerstones of an army! Now even if all members of the Wuyi army are killed in battle, as long as they are still there, in less than a month, Lian Zining can immediately pull up a Wuyi army with great combat effectiveness.

The only silent person in the hall is Xiong Tingbi.

These days, Lian Zining did not keep him by his side, but asked him to be the title of a hundred households in the personal military camp and went to the following hundred households to experience it. These days, he has stayed in the camp, visited the hundred households in various counties, and even visited the Feng Yan Baihu Station stationed in Jiushan Town. It can be said that he is not much worse than Lian Zining's understanding of the Wuyi Army now.

After returning, with his almost natural military talent, he wrote a ten thousand-word proposal, pointing out the various shortcomings of the Wuyi Army now, which was greatly affirmed by Lian Zining.

In the later stage of the research on the phalanx, he also participated and put forward a lot of opinions.

However, after all, he was an outsider and even a white robe. These hundreds of families of the Wuyi Army hated the white robe to the core, so they naturally felt a little open and secretly excluded him. Xiong Tingbi also knew himself, and only hid in the corner and did not make things boring.

As everyone talked, they reached the purpose of this time.

A hundred households asked, "Lao Shi, what are you busy with when you recall us this time? Is there any big news? The court wants to use troops?"!
