Chapter 235 Cao Bianjiao's Ambition
As soon as the letter was written, Fan Yongdou handed it to the housekeeper and said, "Immediately send someone to Liaodong, and hand it over to my family to send it to Da Khan!"

It's not that I haven't done this, the housekeeper immediately agreed, took the letter and immediately turned around and left.

However, before he reached the door, he heard Fan Yongdou explain to him: "Right now, Gyeonggi is in short supply of food, and even the surrounding provinces have been purchased by our family. These food must not fall into the hands of the imperial court. Let the emperor remember it, and immediately inform the other families to come and discuss the matter!"

Hearing this, the butler turned around and bowed in response before leaving the house.

In the lobby, Fan Yongdou was the only one left.There was a sneer on his face, he looked in the direction of the capital, and at the same time thought in his heart: Only an obedient emperor is a good emperor, if you dare to mess around, I will dare to give you problems.Just this food issue, it depends on how you solve it!

Hmph, without food, there will be more civil uprisings.In this way, the emperor will inevitably be in a state of distress, and will not dare to deal with the generals who lead the army casually in the future, otherwise, if there is a mutiny, the throne may not be stable.

It's good if the northern provinces are in chaos, so that Dajin can grow stronger, can grab more things from Daming, and the business with Dajin can last longer.

At this time, Fan Yongdou hadn't thought that Jianlu could take over the world.What he cares more about is that Jianlu cannot be without money. Only when Jianlu grabs more money can his business with Jianlu be easier and more profitable.

After thinking for a long time, he got up and turned into the backyard. After a tiring day, he was ready to rest.

As soon as his wife saw him, she immediately asked with concern: "Master, have you found your nephew and son-in-law?"

Fan Yongdou was taken aback when he heard this, and immediately remembered the missing Han Shengcai.It was mentioned in Han Yu's letter before, but this time the letter is all about military and national affairs, and it didn't mention whether Han Sheng just came back or not?
"There are too many things to do in the capital, and I can't take care of them for a while." Fan Yongdou replied with a little disapproval, "But Madam reminded me so, I will write a letter to the capital for my husband to ask."

In fact, what he was thinking about was Yongchang Bank.I'm afraid this can't be opened, I have to change the name, find a reliable backer, or find a few more.

Others don't know, but he knows that there is a golden mountain in it, and he can make money just by sitting.Thinking about it this way, Fan Yongdou began to consider who was the most popular person in front of the emperor.

It was getting dark gradually, and Sun Chengzong, who rushed back to Shanhaiguan in a hurry, didn't care about rest, and sent an order to discuss the matter immediately.

Not long after, the meeting hall was full of people.

Sun Chengzong sat high on the main seat. Beside him, Mao Yuanyi was originally standing, but now there was a Jinyiwei school lieutenant. Upon closer inspection, one could find that it was a woman, and she was Liu Wangshi.

Today's Liu Wangshi has a little more heroism, or self-confidence in his eyebrows, and he is completely without the restraint he was in Changli. Even when facing so many generals, he seems natural.

On the lower side of the main seat, there is another chair, sitting on the birthday of the governor and Zhizu of the governor's mansion.After he settled his family affairs, he was going to the capital to take up his post, and now he happened to be here as well.

In the row of generals on the left, Wu Xiang, Wu Sangui, his father and son, and their subordinates stood at the front, and in the other row stood General He Kegang, Deputy General Cao Wenzhao and others.

It can be seen from everyone's face that everyone seems to be in a good mood.

When Sun Chengzong saw that everyone had arrived, he said loudly: "The emperor has a decree, and he will arrive soon..."

Upon hearing this, everyone glanced at Mrs. Liu, knowing that it was she who first told Elder Ge about the content of the imperial decree.

"...Don't let the Spring Festival pass. Each ministry selects a cavalry army, with a hundred people as a team, to patrol the hundreds of miles of grassland in turn. If there is a caravan, it will be detained!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard the news, some of them rolled their eyes and didn't know what they were thinking.

"In addition, there is an unconfirmed news that the slave chieftain Huang Taiji probably sent his son Hauge to meet the caravan, and the number of soldiers and horses he brought is about a thousand." When Sun Chengzong said this, he hesitated for a while, In the end, he said, "If you encounter it, immediately withdraw to the pass, and don't fight with it!"

If this Jianlu cavalry army was to be defeated, Ming would need at least two thousand elite cavalry troops; if this Jianlu cavalry army was to be annihilated, the elite needed would be doubled.

However, it doesn't make much sense if you just defeat this Jianlu.Unless the Guan Ning Army's elite can annihilate this cavalry army, it will only make sense to capture or kill Hauge.But the news is not true, and it would be too uneconomical to use a large army when food and grass are in short supply.

After pausing for a while, Sun Chengzong added: "But all the armies are ready. Once the news is confirmed and the location of this Jianlu army is known, the army will attack with thunder and be sure to annihilate it!"

Hearing this news, except for Cao Wenzhao who was a little excited, everyone else was not interested, and they just responded with clasped fists as usual.

"In addition, there is another decree, the emperor decided to form a new army..."

Hearing this, Zu Dashou couldn't help but feel happy.Thinking that the emperor didn't just talk about it casually, but really started to do it.After hearing it, he was even more surprised when he said that the subordinate of the general soldier who had been selected as the most new army could be knighted.Subconsciously, he turned his head to look at Wu Sangui.

The others were obviously more interested in the news, and started talking in low voices.

After the meeting was over and they returned home, Cao Bianjiao, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said to Cao Wenzhao, "Uncle, I want to apply for the new army!"

When Cao Wenzhao heard this, he frowned, and immediately scolded: "You are now the general manager. If you go to apply for a new army, you have to start all over again, you know?"

"My nephew knows, but my nephew still wants to go!" Cao Bianjiao replied almost without hesitation.

"You..." Cao Wenzhao seemed to hate iron for being weak when he heard it. After taking a breath, he said seriously to Cao Bianjiao, "Do you really think that you can form a strong army by drawing out the most elite soldiers? Besides, no one knows what the new army will do. According to my uncle's experience, the emperor is likely to be more hopeful and disappointed. What if the emperor is unrealistic, ignores the facts, and regards you as the strongest The elite sent out to die, how can uncle explain to your dead parents?"

Cao Bianjiao listened and was silent for a moment.He had been in the army for a long time, so he naturally knew that what his uncle said was right.But he immediately remembered the humiliation of Wu Sangui and his slaves that day, and with the arrogance of his official position, he burst into anger, clenched his fists and replied: "My nephew wants to fight him, otherwise even if my nephew is the boss now But if you want to be promoted to the general army, you don't know that it will take years of monkeys!"

Cao Wenzhao was taken aback when he heard that, he himself was only a lieutenant general at the moment, he didn't expect that his nephew's target was the general soldier.Based on his understanding of Cao Bianjiao, after a little thought, he realized that his nephew was not convinced by Wu Sangui.

Thinking of this, he fell silent.
