Back to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Chapter 243
The next day, when the celebration was over, all the generals gathered in the mansion, and Lu Fan also came from Tancheng.

Xu Shu said: "My lord, now that our power has increased greatly, and we are sitting in Henan and Xuzhou, we will definitely attract the attention of the imperial court, and may send another official to serve as the governor of the state. My lord, please make a plan early!"

Lord Bo Mengjian said: "Why don't I go to Chang'an again and ask Li Da Sima to give the Lord the right to open the government, so that we can appoint officials more conveniently!"

Feng Yao thought for a while and said: "Yuzhou has stabilized, but Xuzhou is a problem. If you want to appoint the governor of the prefecture, even if my father and father-in-law have the right to open the mansion, they can't appoint the governor of the prefecture. I think we are now What should be done is to pretend to be the state shepherd based on strength!"

"My lord is right! Anyway, now that the prefect seal is in our hands, we can completely ignore the imperial court's appointment! If anyone dares to come to Xuzhou to be an official, just kill them!" Yuan Ao said.

"My lord, I also agree with Yuan Gongrong's idea!" Xu Xuan said loudly.

Feng Yao nodded and looked at Lu Fan: "Ziheng, why don't you take the state shepherd's seat!"

Lu Fan immediately shook his head, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, I think Xuzhou State Shepherd's position is already equal to that of the lord. This is not in accordance with etiquette!"

"Well... let's do it like this. Anyway, we have sufficient financial resources now. I plan to recruit troops in Xuzhou vigorously and recruit all the available troops in Xuzhou. Even if the imperial court sends officials over again, there will be no soldiers to recruit!" Feng Yao said .

The generals immediately nodded when they heard the words, saying yes, Xu Shu said: "As long as we take away Xuzhou's excess troops, send them to the battlefield, and use our confidantes as the governors of the counties, I believe that even if our army withdraws from Xuzhou, Xuzhou will not be defeated in the future." There will be no more rebellion!"

The lord Bo Mengjian said: "My lord, among the five prefectures in Xuzhou, only Pengcheng and Guangling have no officers. My lord, please appoint them as soon as possible. Besides, there are many people who have made great achievements in the army. My lord should promote their official positions and titles so that all generals can be conferred!"

The generals discussed together for a while, and asked Feng Yao to proclaim himself General of Zhendong and Marquis of Pingyu County, and then ordered Meng Jian to go to Chang'an to ask for the corresponding military position and title.

Feng Yao agreed, and then appointed Yuan Ao as the magistrate of Qu County, "Gongrong, I will hand over Qu County to you to manage, and you must build me a strong navy. Conquering Japan, Baekje, and the tribes of Sanhan, without a powerful navy, how could we cross the sea to attack! At the same time, you must also develop better and bigger warships! For these, in At the same time, use the sea ships we captured this time to build a fleet of sea merchants escorted by sailors, and gain more wealth through sea merchants to develop the navy!"

Yuan Ao was overjoyed, knelt down and prostrated, and swore excitedly: "I, Yuan Ao, swear here today that I ask the heavens, the earth, and all the generals present to bear witness together that I will never betray my lord, and I will fulfill my lord's request." Everything, set up a caravan and navy to serve my lord! May you not hesitate to do your best for my lord's great plan! If you break your oath, please heaven, earth, and all witnesses to slaughter together!"

Feng Yao's lofty goal and Yuan Ao's vicious oath made all the generals present excited!Eyes sparkling, full of expectations for the future!

Jian Yong, who hadn't opened his mouth all this time, also seemed a little excited, watching Feng Yao nod again and again, although it was only two days since he started working, he was already shocked by Feng Yao's unconstrained wisdom!

"Release the male slaves and transform them into sailors. Although they are a bit lustful towards the female slaves, their words and deeds not only find a good home for the female slaves, but also stabilize the morale of the army. The result is a happy result, which makes the people happy ! And even dare to appoint a young talent like Yuan Ao! I want to expand the territory of my great man! Good! Great! I, Jian Yong, are lucky to follow such a wise master!" Jian Yong was full of emotion.

Feng Yao also wanted to know about Jian Yong's talent. In the past two days, although Jian Yong had not officially recognized his master, Feng Yao had always regarded Jian Yong as his confidant, and invited Jian Yong for various discussions. Feng Yao secretly delighted at Yong's expression, knowing that Jian Yong had already fallen in love.

"Xianhe, your hometown is in the north, do you know anything about Baekje and the Samhan tribe?" Feng Yao asked with a smile.

Jian Yong nodded, no longer hesitated, cupped his hands, and said: "My lord! Baekje is a country established by the prince of Fuyu, a vassal state of my Han Dynasty, after he went south and defeated Mahan among the three Hans. Although it does not belong to my Han Dynasty , but it is adjacent to Lelang County in Youzhou, the Han Dynasty, and the Mahan tribe in Baekje has been influenced by the Han Dynasty, and its culture has become the same as that of the Han Dynasty. It will be of great benefit to Baekje and our dynasty! I support the Lord's future attack!"

"Chenhan and Mouhan among the three Koreas have been fighting with Baekje for years, which is extremely detrimental to the development of Baekje. If they can be unified, it will be the happiest thing for the common people at the bottom!"

"Baekje and the Wa country face each other across the sea. If the Han people in Baekje want to develop, the Wa country must also be defeated! Most of the Wa people make a living by plundering at sea. Japanese pirates often come to Xuzhou by boat to burn, kill and rob. Not only will it be detrimental to the development of Xuzhou, but it will also threaten our caravans! So please, my lord, must calm down these overseas island countries, which will be extremely beneficial to our future western expeditions!"

Jian Yong didn't say anything, but once he opened his mouth, he couldn't hold back, and poured out all the words he had kept in his heart, and the more he spoke, the brighter his eyes became, and his complexion became more excited.

Feng Yao and the others didn't know much about Baekje and Samhan. After hearing Jian Yong's words, they immediately understood. Everyone's eyes were also attracted by Jian Yong. They listened carefully to Jian Yong's introduction. At that moment, displeasure appeared on everyone's faces.

After Jian Yong finished speaking, Xu Chu immediately straightened up, with an angry face on his face, and said loudly: "The Japanese people are indeed extremely detestable! I have heard that the Japanese people deliberately did not kill all the fishermen near the sea in order to keep looting in the future, but instead Let’s keep a part of it, so we can plunder again next time! My lord! I really hope that our navy can be trained as soon as possible, and then we will conquer the country of Wa and kill all those pirates who are doing evil!!”

"Zhongkang, don't worry, I will definitely do this. I am afraid that no one in this world can understand the hatred of the Japanese people better than me! The injustice of the Japanese country will definitely become a big problem for us in the East in the future! But we must first design Bring out a warship that is strong enough to withstand the storm in the sea!" Feng Yao said loudly.

After Feng Yao finished speaking, he looked at Jian Yong with a smile, and said in his heart: "It seems that Jian Yong has fully recognized me and called me my lord! Hehehe! It's just where should I use Jian Yong Woolen cloth?"

At this moment, Yuan Ao cupped his hands and said, "My lord, I want to set up a large technical department! Specialize in the research of weapons for shipbuilding and naval warfare!"
