Joy of Life: I am a Han Dynasty succubus, and I rebel from the beginning

Chapter 117, Hidden Dragon, Plan for the Capital! The Old and Savvy Huang Shangshu Suggests (Additional Chapter)
Liu Hong did not have much time to pay attention to these things, and went to the Military Academy in the center of the city with his personal guards.

This is the world's first military school in Joy of Life. Liu Hong serves as the honorary principal and Han Xin is responsible for daily teaching tasks.

As for the actual lecturers, they are disabled veterans and officers who have retired from the army.

Every officer above the rank of captain in the Qianlongwan Army must learn to read and write at the Military Academy, and only after receiving military instruction can they have room for advancement.

Liu Hong was doing this when he led the troops in Hutoushan, but because it was wartime, he could only maintain relationships and then was quickly transferred back to the army.

Everything was back on track when we arrived at Qianlong Bay.

So it was completely ridiculous for Emperor Qing to scold Liu Hong for treating all the stray dogs in his home as military dogs.

However, Liu Hong came to the Military Academy to observe just as a side job.

The most important thing is to visit the former Minister of War Huang Ming and his old lady.

When Emperor Qing ordered the killing of the two men, Liu Hong secretly let them go under the cover of the Supervisory Council and led them to Qianlong Bay.

In line with the principle of letting predecessors continue to shine, a false identity was created for Huang Ming to serve as the director of teaching at the Military Academy.

When Han Xin first joined Liu Hong's army, Huang Ming was in charge of all affairs of the Military Academy.

When Liu Hong arrived at the Military Academy, he saw Huang Ming basking in the sun. The soldiers guarding outside were bragging to Huang Ming about their glorious deeds.

After seeing the many guards in full armor, his expression became solemn and he straightened his body.

Huang Ming was still wondering why the brat stopped talking when he heard a gentle voice.

"Master Huang, long time no see!"

Huang Ming sniffed and spoke lazily.

"You rushed back to see me right after killing someone. It seems that you came back to Qianlong Bay secretly this time."

Liu Hong smiled, pushed Huang Ming's wheelchair, and walked towards the back of the martial arts hall.

"If I don't come back, I'm afraid that sooner or later this Qianlong Bay will no longer be named Liu."

"His surname is not Liu. His surname is Li or Qing! You have to correct your attitude now."

Huang Ming's face turned serious.

There is a reason why he has been able to check and balance Old Man Qin for many years. If it weren't for a mistake in one move, his unfilial descendants would have betrayed him.

Otherwise, Huang Ming would still be sitting firmly in the position of Minister of War.

This sentence was tantamount to reminding Liu Hong that he was not strong enough at the moment and should not have any obvious thoughts.

Of course Liu Hong understood the subtext and followed suit.

"Your Excellency is right, but as Peibo, I must of course take good care of this grassland for Your Majesty."

Huang Ming shook his head, knowing that with Liu Hong's resolute and courageous character, he would definitely not change his mind.

"Forget it. I'm old now. You've drafted me to stay in Qianlong Bay and take a look around. I don't know anything else."

Huang Ming's words had already expressed his attitude.

You can help Liu Hong at ordinary times, but if there is a rebellion, you cannot implicate him.

"Sir, that's not true! You are still as skilled as ever, and sooner or later you will be able to stand in the court again."

Huang Ming burst out laughing when he heard Liu Hong's compliment.

This brat! He is just Pei Bo, but the Minister of War dares to dream of winning him over in the future.

"Forget it, let's not talk about these things. After you return to Kyoto, this guy is expected to retire from the position of Minister of War."

Now it was Liu Hong's turn to be surprised.

He reported the news to Shi Chanli and Er Gouzi in Kyoto.

It is certain that the Ministry of War has been hollowed out by Qin Heng, not to mention that he is just a figurehead minister, and even making money depends on Qin Heng's mood.

In addition to various news, Hongzhu in the imperial palace conveyed Emperor Qing's attitude.

It has just been confirmed that He Kuang, who has just been the Minister of War for a year, is about to step down again.

Huang Ming spoke slowly.

"I have worked with He Kuang for many years and I know his character very well. He is capable, but he is too timid and afraid of things. He doesn't want to offend anyone, but in fact he offends everyone."

This statement makes sense!
When Liu Hong was in Kyoto, he monopolized the power of the Ministry of War. However, when faced with Liu Hong, a new powerful figure, he still chose to be tolerant.

This is too weak.

In a place like Kyoto where people are eaten by others, everyone wants to bully Kuang Kuang.

"I know what you are thinking, don't rush back to the Ministry of War to seize power, or rely on His Majesty to become the Minister of War." "Even if he succeeds, Qin Heng will be able to control a considerable part of the Ministry of War. After all, the affairs of the Ministry of War are in the hands of six doctors."

Huang Ming glanced at Liu Hong's face and immediately knew what this guy was planning.

"Since you have chosen to retreat in order to advance, forget about the Ministry of War. Find a way to become the deputy commander of the Kyoto Garrison Division. Then everything will be yours."

"hiss……"

Liu Hong took a breath of cold air.

I didn't expect Huang Ming to be so cunning. If the operation fails, Liu Hong can only become the deputy commander of the Kyoto garrison in name only.

After all, the Kyoto Garrison Division is the Ye family’s private territory.

If Liu Hong were to intervene, he would probably face double suppression from the Ye family and the Qin family.

"How about it, do you dare to do it?"

Huang Ming seemed to have a childish heart and looked at Liu Hong provocatively.

"How dare you not?"

Liu Hong smiled proudly. He was still young and at most he would just waste a few years.

As long as the quality remains unchanged, Qianlong Bay is in his hands and there is nothing he can't give up.

The guy Zhang Liang gave to himself was young after all. He had never been in the army or the court, so he seemed a little immature.

Of course, this is a very good method, but it seems insufficient to cut off Huang Ming's source of trouble.

Huang Ming also laughed, as if he saw himself full of vigor and vitality in the past.

"When you leave Qianlong Bay, take the army to take a look at Xihu! After the eldest prince left, Xihu also began to make moves."

Liu Hong nodded slightly.

"Normal Hu people are like wolfhounds that can never be tamed. I will appoint Han Xin as my general and mobilize the 30,000 troops under Qianlong Bay to march west to attack the Western Hu."

At this point, Liu Hong's expression changed slightly.

Qianlong Bay is a money-eating beast.

As a result, these Western Hu guys still wanted to take advantage of the situation. It seemed that the wool spinning machine had been popularized for too short a time and had not eliminated the fighting power of the Hu people.

For at least twenty years, this group of Hu people did not age, and before the rise of a young generation addicted to enjoyment.

The battles among these barbarians were quite terrifying.

Qianlong Bay served as a trading station, selling grain, tea, and even ironware smuggled by desperate merchants.

Plus the trade and profits from selling wool.

The fighting power of the Hu people expanded rapidly, and the days when they had to live in separate tribes due to insufficient food were gone.

It is very likely that a super Hu empire comparable to the Huns will be born.

"I am the one who caused all this trouble. I will solve it myself! Even if my identity is exposed and the news reaches the court, it is not certain that His Majesty will kill me!"

Liu Hong's eyes gradually became sharp.

The shame of Baideng from Liu Bang's memory kept echoing in his mind.

"Not as long as you win the battle! Your Majesty has always been tolerant of meritorious officials."

Huang Ming gently pushed Liu Hong's hand away and walked towards the cabin, where he and his wife would live out their remaining years.

Liu Hong once wanted to build a mansion to treat them well.

Huang Ming still refused. After enjoying for so long, he was still on the verge of death.

Simple food is enough, there is no need to enjoy such luxury.

“I didn’t expect that beneath the prosperous surface of Qianlong Bay, there are so many crises.”

Liu Hong stopped where he was, muttering to himself.

His eyes slowly became firm.

"If Qianlong Bay, which I built with a small amount of Qing's power, is in such a state, then the crisis facing Qing right now will only be greater. Let me solve the crisis in Qianlong Bay this time!"

After saying that, Liu Hong strode towards the Military Academy.

It seems that he is no longer prepared to conceal his identity.
