The most powerful patriarch in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 103 The Isolated Female General

After Liu Rufeng's explanation, Lu Changle finally understood that those five people were craftsmen and apprentices of the Fujian Military Bureau.

When Zheng Zhilong evacuated Fujian, he not only brought all his confidants with him, but also brought those important staff and craftsmen.
Kong Jie was a young apprentice. When he was squatting in the hut, he overheard the officer and soldier mentioning this matter, saying that everyone in the Weapons Bureau would be forcibly transferred to Jilong Mountain, so he told the matter to his master calmly. Xu Yiming, Xu Yiming is also reluctant to leave, because he is afraid that if he leaves, the good master of the military bureau will become a human pirate,
Xu Yiming recruited Lao Zhou and his two apprentices, who had a good relationship on weekdays and didn't want to go to Jilong Mountain, took a chance and slipped away.
A bit unlucky, when he wanted to leave Quanzhou secretly, he was caught by a patrolling hundred households from Quanzhou Wei, and he was about to behead them all in the name of running away. When Liu Rufeng passed by, he overheard this and bribed the Hundreds of households, rescued them and brought them back to Xingping Village,
Liu Rufeng knew early on that Lu Changle wanted to find a craftsman who could make weapons.

"I've seen my boss" Xu Yiming, Lao Zhou and others saluted Lu Changle one after another.

On the way, Liu Rufeng told them that the patriarch of the Lu clan in Fuzhou was their new boss.

Lu Changle helped them up one by one, and said happily: "Please, don't worry, everyone, when you arrive in Xingping Village, you can just go back to your own home. By the way, what weapons are you good at making?"

It's really lucky, you can come to whatever you want, Liu Rufeng's meeting ceremony is great.

Xu Yiming quickly said: "When I go back to my boss's house, the younger one and Lao Zhou have been military craftsmen for three generations. They have been apprentices in the bureau since they were young. They can make all kinds of weapons, harnesses, and armors. However, Lao Zhou was once transferred to the firearms bureau. I have been working for five years and know how to make gunpowder and firearms.”

"Okay, that's great." Lu Changle clapped his hands and said, "Changwei, the craftsmen have worked hard all the way, take them down to rest, be sure to entertain them."

Talents who can build weapons, armor, and firearms are now treasures.

Lu Changwei responded, and immediately took the restless five people down.

"Third brother, you are finally here." When Chen Qi heard the news, he came out holding a cane.

When Liu Rufeng saw it, he hurried forward to support him, and asked anxiously: "Second brother, what's the matter with you, who hurt you? Third brother will avenge you."

"I was plotted against by some little thieves, and my elder brother and Patriarch Lu took revenge for me."

Gan Hui laughed: "Okay, don't stand still, go, come to my house and have a drink, and let you taste your sister-in-law's handicrafts."

"Third brother, you must try it carefully. Really, the food made by my sister-in-law can swallow your tongue. Just look at me, I just have a small injury. I eat the food sent by my sister-in-law every day, and I have gained a lot of weight." .”

"The elder brother has an order, but the younger brother will be disrespectful."

"We are all brothers, why are you being polite, let's go, we will not get drunk tonight."

After Gan Hui finished speaking, he told Lu Changle that he would not lead the team for training today, and Lu Changle naturally agreed.

After the three of them left, Lu Changle immediately sent someone to deliver meat and vegetables to Mrs. Qiao, so that they could eat to their heart's content.

The next day, the people who came to seek refuge began to enter the role,
Liu Rufeng has high martial arts skills, careful heart, and calm temperament. Gan Hui has long made arrangements for Liu Rufeng to protect Lu Changle.

And Xu Yiming, Lao Zhou and the others were also taken to the blacksmith's shop at the west end of the village, and Lu Changle wanted to check their fineness.

"Master Xu, Master Zhou, these are the weapons we seized, and many of them are damaged, so please repair them." Lu Changle said with a smile.

Whether it is a horse or a mule, you can tell by just walking around,

Many weapons were seized in Min'an Township during World War I, but many of them were damaged to varying degrees and needed to be repaired before they could be used.

Just to verify that the two of them have some real skills.

Xu Yiming and Lao Zhou looked at each other, nodded quickly and said: "My boss said, this matter is on us brothers, but the tools are not complete, and the stove needs to be rebuilt, or the repair effect is not good enough, please ask the boss to repair it." Give me some time."

This is just an ordinary blacksmith's shop, and many places are not perfect, just like quenching, one can see at a glance that the furnace in the blacksmith's shop can't be reused.

Lu Changle said bluntly: "No problem, what manpower and materials are needed, just ask, and do the work beautifully."

Under the auspices of Xu Yiming, several people began to upgrade the blacksmith shop,
Lu Changle saw that there was nothing wrong with him, turned and left after watching for a while.

Now that the materials and talents are available, it is time to expand the territory,
Just taking advantage of the experience of the Wang family in Min'an, lobbying them to form a militia for self-defense,

As long as a militia group is established, the Fuzhou government will be under its own control. If it is outside the Fuzhou government, it doesn't matter, and an alliance can also be formed.

As long as he draws them to his side, Lu Changle has the confidence to keep them.

Lu Changle put the first object of lobbying in the Yang family in Fuzhou.

First, the Yang family in Fuzhou owed me a huge favor, and secondly, the Yang family in Fuzhou had just cooperated with the Lu family and shared a large amount of floating money.

Money touches people's hearts, as long as you know it for profit, you won't be afraid that they won't be tempted.

After winning the Yang family, the strength of the head trainer of the Fuzhou militia has skyrocketed, and he has more confidence in speaking and doing things.

If you can't even take down the Yang family in Fuzhou, which is across the river, it will be difficult to persuade other people to listen to you as the head coach of the militia.

Lu Changle thought for a while, and immediately convened a meeting with the clan elders and Fangtou to unify their thoughts first,

In order to avoid meeting in time, we will start working again before we start.

Having got a master, there are also craftsmen who make weapons and firearms. Lu Changle is full of confidence and starts to plan big things.
However, Yang Xuan, across the river, did not have such luck as Lu Changle.
On the contrary, upon waking up, Yang Xuan felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere.

When I went out of the house, many tribesmen pointed at me, and when I approached, they immediately fell silent,
When I went to the martial arts field to find a pair to practice, those tribe members who were usually very friendly and willing to serve as sparring partners hid away one by one.
It's as if the whole clan is isolating themselves.

"Xiaohong, what's going on? Is there something on my face? Is there no pimple? Why do you hide from this group?" Yang Xuan said with a puzzled look.

I am the eldest lady of the Yang family in Fuzhou. She is beautiful, has high martial arts skills, has no airs, and is generous in her actions.

From time to time, I also point out the martial arts of the children in the clan. It has always been very popular, but now it has changed suddenly.

What happened in the end?

Xiaohong hesitated and said: "Miss, I don't know."

"Say it quickly, don't say that I betrothed you to Yang Lao Si in the stable." Yang Xuan threatened.

Yang Xuan can tell whether her maidservant is telling the truth or lying.

Hesitating when speaking, looking left and right, and not daring to look into his own eyes, it is clearly a guilty conscience.

Xiaohong's face changed with fright, and she quickly said: "Miss, no, I will say, I will say."

Old Si Yang is an old bachelor of the Yang family, short and somewhat hunchbacked, with ugly big yellow teeth showing when he opened his mouth, he is so disgusting that he can't eat.

If she betroths herself to him, Xiaohong would rather be a nun for the rest of her life.

"Hurry up," Yang Xuan said impatiently.

Xiaohong said in a low voice: "Miss, you went to Min'an Town to fight this time and killed and wounded many thieves. The bet he made was a dishonest villain, and he also said that the descendants of the loyal Yang family generals are nothing more than this."

"Many clansmen were also ridiculed. They felt depressed and didn't dare to lose their temper with Miss, so they avoided Miss."

When Yang Xuan heard it, her face suddenly fell down, and she said a little angrily: "Didn't Mrs. Yang lend him two carriages? Why didn't they say anything?"

"My maid, I don't know too much," Xiaohong said with some fear.

"Miss Ben is so mad, why is this matter going on forever?" Yang Xuan stomped her feet angrily.

This time, under his leadership, the Yang family in Fuzhou made a big splash in rescuing the Wang family in Min'an.

Yang Xuan not only commanded Yang's children to use the three-kill formation to start a massacre, but he also took the lead in leading the soldiers, overcoming the addiction of a general,
The dream of a female general has just begun to take shape, is it about to be shattered?
"Miss, Master loves Miss the most, why don't you ask Master to come forward and teach them a lesson?" Xiao Hong suggested from the side.

Yang Xuan shook her head depressedly: "Forget it, let's go back."

To become a general, especially a female general, you must be convinced by your subordinates,
If you don't believe what you say, how can you convince your subordinates?
Especially in front of the bets made by the folks and elders in the whole county, it is a headache to think about it.

It's all because that shameless guy was too cunning, thinking of Lu Changle, Yang Xuan gritted his teeth angrily.

Just when Yang Xuan wanted to go home, the bronze bell of Yang's ancestral hall suddenly rang.
Yang Xuan's complexion changed, this was a signal to urgently summon the clan elders and heads of the houses,

What the hell happened to ring the bronze bell?
