As soon as he finished writing the letter, Fan Yongdou handed it to the housekeeper and said: "Immediately send someone to Liaodong and give it to my family to forward to the Great Khan!"

This was not something he had never done before. The housekeeper immediately agreed, took the letter and turned around immediately.

But before he reached the door, he heard Fan Yongdou explain to him: "Right now, the capital is very short of food, and even the surrounding provinces have been bought up by several of us. This food must not fall into the hands of the imperial court. You have to let the Emperor take a long memory and notify the other companies immediately to come and discuss the matter!"

Upon hearing this, the housekeeper turned around and bowed in response before going out.

Fan Yongdou was the only one left in the lobby. There was a sneer on his face, looking in the direction of the capital, and thinking 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 for this food issue, it depends on how you solve it!

Huh, without food, there will be more places where civil unrest will occur. As a result, the emperor will definitely be worried and will not dare to deal with the generals casually in the future. Otherwise, if there is a mutiny, the throne may be unstable.

It would be better to cause chaos in the northern provinces, so that Daikin can become stronger, grab more things from Daming, and the business with Daikin can last longer.

At this time, Fan Yongdou had not thought that Jianlu could conquer the world. What he cares more about is that Jianlu cannot be without money. Only when Jianlu grabs more money can the business between him and Jianlu be easier and more profitable.

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

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

Fan Yongdou was stunned when he heard this, and immediately thought of the missing Han Shengcai. Han Xu mentioned it in his letter before, but this time the letter was all about military and national affairs, and it didn't mention whether Han Shengcai was back or not?

"There are a lot of things going on in the capital, and I can't take care of them at the moment." Fan Yongdou replied a little disapprovingly, "But after Madam reminded me, I will write a letter to the capital to ask about it."

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

Others don't know it, but he knows that there is a golden mountain in it, and he can make money just by sitting on it. With this thought, Fan Yongdou began to consider who were the popular people in front of the emperor.

It was getting dark, and Sun Chengzong, who was rushing back to Shanhaiguan after a long journey, did not bother to rest, and immediately sent orders to discuss matters.

Before long, the meeting hall was filled with people.

Sun Chengzong sat high on the throne. Beside him, where Mao Yuanyi originally stood, now stood a royal guard in golden robes. If he looked closely, he could see that it was a woman. She was Mrs. Liu Wang.

Nowadays, Mrs. Liu Wang has a bit more heroism or confidence in her eyebrows. She has completely lost the restraint in Changli. Even when facing so many generals, she looks natural.

Under the main seat, there is another chair, where the Governor of the Governor's Mansion sits, Tongzhizu Dashou. After settling his family affairs, he was going to the capital to take up his post, and now he happened to be here.

Among the generals on the left, standing at the front are Wu Xiang, Wu Sangui and his son, and their men. In the other line are 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.

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

Upon hearing this, everyone glanced at Mrs. Liu, knowing that she had told Mr. Ge the content of the imperial edict first.

"... Don't miss the Spring Festival. Each ministry selects cavalry troops, in teams of a hundred, to patrol hundreds of miles of grassland in turns. If any caravans are encountered, they will be detained!"

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

"In addition, there is unconfirmed news that the slave chief Taiji may have sent his son Hauge to meet the caravan, with about a thousand soldiers and horses." Sun Chengzong said this and hesitated for a while. Finally, he said, "If you encounter one, retreat to the pass immediately and don't fight with him head-on!"

If the Ming Dynasty wanted to defeat this Jianlu cavalry army, the Ming Dynasty would need at least two thousand elite cavalry troops; if it wanted to annihilate this Jianlu cavalry army, the elites needed would be doubled.

However, it doesn't mean much if you just defeat this Jianlu. Unless all the elite troops of Guan Ning can be used to annihilate this cavalry army, it would only make sense to capture or kill Hauge. But the news is not reliable, and it would be uneconomical to use a large army at this time when food and grass are in short supply.

After a pause, Sun Chengzong added: "But all armies should be prepared. Once the news is confirmed and the location of this captive army is known, the army will attack with thunder and must annihilate it!"

After hearing the news, except for Cao Wenzhao who was a little excited, everyone else showed little interest and just responded with their usual fists.

"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 really didn't just say it casually, he actually started to do it. He was even more surprised when he heard that whichever commander-in-chief's subordinates were selected the most into the new army would be knighted. Subconsciously, he turned to look at Wu Sangui.

Others were obviously more interested in the news and started talking in low voices.

After the meeting was over and everyone went back to their homes, Cao Bianjiao, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said to Cao Wenzhao: "Uncle, I want to go and be elected to the new army!"

When Cao Wenzhao heard this, he frowned and immediately said: "You are now the commander-in-chief. If you go to apply for the new army, you will have to start all over again. Did you know?"

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

"You..." Upon hearing this, Cao Wenzhao seemed to hate the fact that iron cannot become steel. After taking a breath, he said seriously to Cao Bianjiao, "Do you really think that you can build a strong army by recruiting the most elite soldiers?" ? Besides, no one knows what the new army will do. According to my uncle’s experience, the greater the emperor’s hopes, the greater his disappointment. What if the emperor is unrealistic and ignores the facts and treats 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 has been in the army for a long time, so he naturally knows that his uncle is right. But he immediately remembered the humiliation of Wu Sangui and his slaves that day. With the arrogance of his official position, his anger suddenly emerged. He clenched his fists and replied: "My nephew wants to give him a fight, otherwise even if my nephew is now the boss, , I can’t imagine how long it will take to be promoted to the rank of Commander-in-Chief!”

Cao Wenzhao was stunned when he heard this. He himself was only a deputy general at the moment, but he didn't expect that his nephew's goal was to be a general. Based on his understanding of Cao Bianjiao, after thinking about it for a moment, he realized that his nephew was not convinced by Wu Sangui.

After thinking this, he fell silent.

The high order is fifty more, so I will add an extra chapter, remember it first.
