Zhu Chengxiu was not the only one who saw the expansion of the Revolutionary Army from a wooden bowl. Ma Keshi, who had been paying attention to the situation in Liaodong, was also worried. In order to share His Majesty's burden, he came up with a plan to encourage the heroes of Jianghu to gather in Jinzhou to kill the traitors. He even released the scourge known as the White Lotus Society.
In the end …
Not only was he completely fine, he even swallowed the White Lotus Cult whole.
The White Lotus Society had been a scourge of the Daming Dynasty for more than two hundred years. Their methods were ruthless and their tracks were unpredictable. Xu Hongru had been entrenched in Shandong for decades. He had many henchmen and countless followers. In the eyes of outsiders, he was like a land god.
But half a month ago, he heard that the White Lotus Cult was holding the 'Western Sky Assembly' in Juye, Shandong. Several hundred backbone members had gathered together, and it seemed like they had the intention of openly rebelling. In the end, when everyone gathered together, it was as if thunder and fire were surging from the ground. In one breath, the manor where the gathering was held exploded into the sky.
More than half of the core members were dead, and the rest were dizzy and unable to resist. This time, quite a few White Lotus Old Scoundrels who had done all sorts of evil deeds and had run amok for many years were all killed.
Later on, he heard news that the White Lotus Sect's leader, Xu Hongru, had been captured in Gold Province. The young marshal of the Revolutionary Army was enraged that this group of cult people came to his territory to make trouble, so he deliberately blocked the news and sent elite personnel to secretly sneak into Shandong. The ship was loaded with several tens of thousands of kilograms of explosives, and they impersonated Xu Hongru's orders to summon the people and directly sent them to heaven.
Things were done so beautifully. It was obvious that someone had betrayed them. A few days ago, he heard the news that Xu Hongru's female disciple, Fan Wan Er, had publicly surrendered to the Revolutionary Army and had even married a big bandit chief as a concubine. Now, the other party was determined to hand over their names, demanding that everyone in the White Lotus Cult change sects and kill all those who resisted.
As expected, this traitor was even more vicious than the enemy. He was ruthless in his actions and did not show any mercy.
All the people in Shandong who could fight against Fan Wan'er had either died or fled. Even the hundreds of thousands of believers had joined the Revolutionary Army. The White Lotus Society had branches in Zhili, Henan, and Shanxi. Many elders of the White Lotus Sect cursed Fan Wan 'er for being despicable and shameless, but none of them dared to go to Shandong to take revenge.
When Eunuch Ma heard this, he also looked up to the sky and sighed!
Who would have thought that this scheme would turn out like this? Xu Hongru's fame was even greater than Ma Keshi's. In the end, it was like throwing a meat bun at a dog, and there was no return. Eunuch Ma was even glad that he hadn't gone to Jinzhou himself. Otherwise, he would have been one of the dead.
"Eunuch Ma, let's just forget about this." Liu Fucheng went to Tianjin to pay a visit to Ma Keshi. He went straight to the point and said, "His Majesty is not anxious, but the eunuch is anxious. You see, His Majesty is only worried about the war in Liaodong for a few days, and now he is not going to the court. The high-ranking officials in the imperial court are all doing their own thing, but you, a eunuch, are the most energetic. Do you know that you're already on the list of the Revolutionary Army? "
Huh …?
Ma gonggong was truly enraged this time. He raised his voice and shouted, "Liu, what do you mean by this? How can it be wrong to live off your salary, bear your worries, and be loyal to your ruler? "
"Look at how anxious you are. I don't mean anything. " Liu Fucheng said lazily, "I've already sent my disciple to the Revolutionary Army's Young Marshal to build a relationship and even sent him a maid. He also thinks highly of me, and the business I've been doing recently is quite profitable. In the palace, Imperial Consort Zheng was very satisfied with several things sent by the Revolutionary Army. She said that this Young Marshal had put in a lot of effort.
Although this Young Marshal is ruthless to the officials. But if I don't provoke him, he won't come to me for trouble. In the future, I'll just send my disciple over, and maybe I can even get an official position. But Eunuch Ma is different. This Young Marshal holds a grudge, and it's the kind that won't stay overnight. Xu Hongru is a good example. Maybe that day, he'll … "
Liu Fucheng made a "bang" sound and made an explosion gesture with his hand. Eunuch Ma had a high position in the East Faction Guards, and no one had dared to threaten him like this for many years. He was angry at first, then shocked, and found that his opponent wanted to deal with him. He really had no way to deal with it — there were people from the Revolutionary Army openly operating in Tianjin, and no one knew how much they had infiltrated in the dark.
If he really wanted to give Ma Keshi a landmine explosion in Tianjin, he would have nowhere to hide, and maybe this Liu Fucheng in front of him would stab him in the back. His white face was tight, and he was actually speechless — you encouraged a group of bandits to cause trouble in Jinzhou, but you didn't allow them to secretly assassinate you? You've played all your cards, and now it's the other party's turn.
Liu Fucheng saw that it was about time and laughed in his heart. This Eunuch Ma was usually ruthless and terrifying, but there was actually a day when he was forced into an embarrassing situation by the situation. This was really a reversal of the universe.
"I have a letter here that the Young Marshal specially sent to deliver to Eunuch Ma."
"What?!"
Liu Fucheng took out a letter from his sleeve and put it on the table. Ma Keshi suddenly widened his eyes.
"Surnamed Liu, are you here to persuade me?"
"Sigh, what are you saying? The Young Marshal thinks highly of you and thinks that you still have some ability. Others want this letter, but they can't get it. "
Ma Keshi was even more furious. He cupped his hands high in the direction of the capital and shouted solemnly, "I can't compare to you people who have more connections. I am the Emperor's servant, and I only know how to be loyal to the Emperor and repay the Emperor's kindness. I usually give you some face for Imperial Consort Zheng, but if you want me to defect to the enemy and cause trouble, I can't do it. "
"Pfft …" Liu Fucheng sneered and pushed the letter forward. He pushed the letter forward. "I've brought the letter. Whether you read it or not is your business. The Young Marshal doesn't have to force you to submit. As long as you spend money, who in Tianjin won't make an exception? You're the only one who is unreasonable. "
Ma Keshi really didn't read the letter. He reached out and slapped the letter on the table, turning it into pieces that flew everywhere. Liu Fucheng's eyes narrowed, but he didn't say anything. He cupped his hands and bid farewell, then turned around and left. When Liu Fucheng disappeared, Ma gonggong, who was sitting in front of the court, was discouraged. At this moment, he didn't know how many loyal people were left in the court, but he knew that there were countless who were on the fence.
"When the country is about to fall, there must be a monster."
Ma Keshi sat in the room for a long time, only letting out a long sigh.
When Liu Fucheng left Ma Keshi's residence, Yuan Qingying stayed outside to guard. He snorted at his disciple and said self-deprecatingly, "Old Ma doesn't know what's good for him. He really thinks that I, Liu Fucheng, am a big idiot. He didn't even take the letter and smashed it on the spot. "
Yuan Qingying didn't say anything. She waited on her master to get into the carriage, then sat next to the carriage as an attendant. The coachman raised his whip, and Liu Fucheng asked Yuan Qingying in the carriage, "Disciple, do you know the origin of the bowl-making technique of the Revolutionary Army?"
Yuan Qingying's heart tightened, and she said in a low voice, "I don't know. This technique is indeed magical, and it's hard to guess."
"Yes, I've thought about it for a long time, but I still can't figure it out. If it can make tens of thousands of bowls in one go, it can also make tens of thousands of arrows in one go. " Sitting in the carriage, Liu Fucheng sighed. He then changed the topic and said, "Do you know that some of the Jin merchants in Shanxi have been paying attention to this matter recently? Some of them even offered a high price to sell this secret art."
Yuan Qingying didn't say anything and listened quietly.
Liu Fucheng said again, "It's said that Wang Kai sold a piece of land by the sea to build a dock. I went to take a look a few days ago, and it was an eye-opener. The crane on the dock was exquisitely made, and it was amazing. It only needed a few coolies to pull thousands of kilograms of goods, and it was very convenient to lift and unload. The trailer was also very light, and such a big wooden box could be pulled by one person.
It's a pity that this crane trailer can only be used on the dock, and people are happy to see it, but it can't be sold for a high price. But this just proves that the 'Revolutionary Army' is good at craftsmen. I heard that the peddlers in Lushun often say that the 'Revolutionary Army' hates people who study, and they give preferential treatment to peddlers and craftsmen. "
Hearing this, Yuan Qingying also roughly understood the meaning of her master's words. She asked in a low voice, "Master, do you want the arrow making technique? How about I go to Jinzhou again and ask Zhou Qingfeng if he wants to sell it? "
"Yes …" Liu Fucheng nodded slightly, "Those Shanxi guys heard that we have a good relationship with the 'Revolutionary Army', and they have already come to invite us. I think they want to master this secret technique to make some arrows and sell them to the people in the north. In these chaotic times, arrows are in high demand. "
It's not easy to make arrows, and arrows are consumables that need to be constantly replenished. The ones that can be sold in Daming's arsenal have probably been sold out long ago. Obviously, someone received a large order and was looking for sources everywhere.
However, as for Yuan Qingying wanting to go to Jinzhou to buy the arrow making technique, Liu Fucheng gently shook his head and said, "I'm afraid the 'Revolutionary Army' is not willing to sell this kind of military secret technique. It's useless to ask, and it will make people vigilant. It's better not to ask. But … "
Liu Fucheng pondered for a while, "Isn't Zhou Qingfeng recruiting craftsmen everywhere? What craftsmen does he want? "
"He wants almost all kinds of craftsmen. Wang Kai, who is stationed in Tianjin, is recruiting every day. Quite a few craftsmen in Tianjin Wei sneakily followed him. Even many people from the Nanjing Military Bureau have followed him. After all, the price offered by Jinzhou is too high. Who can resist this kind of bribe? "" This' Revolutionary Army 'is really willing to spend money. "Liu Fucheng nodded in the car," Let's also send some craftsmen.
"This' Revolutionary Army 'is really willing to spend the capital." Liu Fucheng nodded in the car, "Let's also send some craftsmen. Whatever Zhou Qingfeng wants, we will give it to him. Find some who have families, are reliable, and have some skills that can be appreciated. Sending them over will definitely make that kid happy, and they will be put in an important position. Disciple, don't you think so? "
"Master is right." Yuan Qingying followed Liu Fucheng's words and said, "Disciple will do it right away. The day before yesterday, Ye Na wrote to me, asking me to help recruit some shipbuilders, spinners, weavers, … "
"Hey, hey, hey …" Liu Fucheng suddenly said impatiently, "The art of arrow making can only be understood by the Military Bureau. What's the use of getting some spinners and weavers? Forget it, I'll do it. I know a few people in the Ministry of Works, and I have many friends in the Military Bureau and the Military Bureau. It's not a problem to get some people. When the time comes, bring some people to personally go and say a few good words to that kid. "
"Yes." Yuan Qingying responded, "Disciple understands."
There was no more sound in the car, and Yuan Qingying also became silent. But she also let out a long sigh in her heart, "That kid Zhou obviously wants to dominate the world, and no one can stop him. He can make tens of thousands of bowls today, and tomorrow he can make tens of thousands of arrows. What can he make in the future? His background is extraordinary, and the longer time passes, the more ferocious he becomes.
