Chapter 21 We grew up listening to your stories(2/2)
"Your Majesty, I would like to recommend Liu Ji, Song Lian, Ye Chen, and Zhang Yi."
"Ah?" Suning couldn't help but be surprised, because these are all top scholars.
Although Suning knew these people and knew that they were known as the "Four Sages of Western Zhejiang", Suning could not help but be surprised.
"These people seem to be scholars. You actually know everything about the sea?"
"Haha, the reputation of the "Four Sages of Western Zhejiang" has spread widely, and Dahai happens to know a thing or two about it." Hu Dahai also felt a little embarrassed at this time.
"Yeah! Let's visit them in person tomorrow and see if we can invite them to our Red Flag Army."
"My lord, if you take action in person, they will definitely come happily."
"Haha, that's not necessarily the case.
Scholars are all arrogant, especially these top scholars, sometimes they are really different from what we think."
The next day, Suning took Hu Dahai and his party to the "Four Talents in Western Zhejiang" for recruitment. It was indeed a sincere recruitment. His "enterprise" had grown bigger and stronger, and he really needed these "talents" to come forward.
When it comes to work, after all, it’s impossible for me, the boss, to take care of such a big business.
Suning looked at Hu Dahai who was guarding him, and felt more and more satisfied with this general. He accidentally saw the three young people beside Hu Dahai, because they were not wearing Red Flag Army uniforms, but Hu Dahai.
The ordinary clothes of a nephew.
"Haidai, who are these three?"
"Your Majesty, these are Dahai's three sons. Hu Sanshe and Hu Guanzhu are my biological sons, and Hu Deji is my adopted son.
I plan to let them join the Red Flag Army, which can be regarded as a kind of experience for them."
"Yeah! Very good!
The Red Flag Army has strict military regulations and they must abide by the law."
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
Thinking of what happened to Hu Sanshe in the original history of time and space, Suning couldn't help but feel a little sad. Today he reminded her intentionally or unintentionally, hoping that their father and son would listen.
Suning and his party first came to Liu Ji. After all, he was the most famous among the four, and Suning was also curious about what Liu Bowen, who would be promoted to the altar in later generations, looked like.
At this time, Liu Bowen was still called Liu Ji, and he came to Hangzhou to settle in the eighth year of Zhizheng. On February 2 of the ninth year of Zhizheng, the Red Flag Army raised the anti-Yuan flag. Liu Ji originally thought that the Red Flag Army would soon be deceived.
The Yuan army annihilated them.
Unexpectedly, the Red Flag Army suddenly emerged and quickly occupied the Jiangnan area, the richest area in China, and also signed a peace treaty with the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties. Although all parties knew that this was just a delaying tactic for both sides, Liu Ji still admired the Red Flag Army's swiftness and strategy.
Because the Red Flag Army had more time to explore Jiangnan.
At this time, the housekeeper of the Liu Mansion came in and said to Liu Ji in the study, "Master, is there someone coming to visit outside the door?"
"Oh? Who is it?"
"Master Hui, there is a warrior who calls himself Sizhou Hu Dahai, and he has brought many followers with him."
"Oh? Hu Dahai?" When Liu Ji thought about who Hu Dahai was, his heart immediately moved and he began to guess, "Please!"
"Yes! Master!"
When Liu Ji personally welcomed Hu Dahai into the door, of course he saw Suning standing in the C position for the first time, "Brother Hu Xian, I haven't seen you for many years, how are you?"
"Haha, I'm doing very well now!
He has joined the Red Flag Army with his brothers, and is now appointed as the division commander of the Red Flag Army."
"Commander?" Liu Ji has always felt that the military system of the Red Flag Army is a bit confusing, and it is very different from their usual habits as scholars.
"Yes! That's the teacher!
He has more than 10,000 soldiers, equivalent to 10,000 households in the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty."
"Oh? That's it!" Liu Ji then showed a clear expression.
"Haha, Mr. Liu, this is the bright king of our Red Flag Army.
This time I came here specially to invite Mr. Liu to be born."
"Ah? Your Majesty, Prince Ming, please forgive me for being so far away." Liu Ji quickly bowed to Suning in a fake manner.
"Haha, Mr. Liu is too polite.
Ever since I entered Jiqing Road, I have been hearing about the name of the "Four Sages of Western Zhejiang", especially Mr. Liu, the leader of the "Four Sages". Today, under the recommendation of Hu Dahai, I came here to invite Mr. Liu to join the Red Flag.
military."
"Haha, King Ming made a serious statement.
I just have a bad reputation among scholars, and I am not considered a great person.
As for being born and joining the Red Flag Army, don't mention it again." Liu Ji actually directly rejected Suning's invitation.
"Mr. Liu, actually before Hu Dahai mentioned you, I had heard others mention you, saying that you were a Jinshi of the Meng Yuan Dynasty and had always been loyal to the Meng Yuan Dynasty.
It turned out to be the case when I saw it today!" Suning had long expected Liu Ji's rejection, so he immediately attacked Liu Ji's army.
Liu Ji could also hear what Suning meant at this time. The Red Flag Army and the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties were enemies. If Liu Ji was unwilling to become a member of the Red Flag Army, he must be the enemy of the Red Flag Army.
Liu Ji also didn't expect that Suning would be so direct and not give him a chance to argue with each other. This was so different from the "three visits to the thatched cottage" that Liu Ji imagined that he was a little stunned for a moment.
Hu Dahai also saw Liu Ji's dilemma, but he was not prepared to help him out, because he was a member of the Red Flag Army at this time, and of course it was impossible for him to do the same thing.
It took a while for Liu Ji to wake up from his daze and said, "Prince Ming, there must be some misunderstanding.
In the third year of the Zhengzheng period, I resigned and stayed home after serving as the deputy general of Zhejiang Province. How could I have my heart towards the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties? This is really nonsense."
"Haha, Dahai, you go out!
I want to talk to Mr. Liu alone." Seeing the tough-talking Liu Ji, Suning could only decide to make a bigger move.
"Yes! Your Majesty!" Hu Dahai immediately accepted the order and left, and took Liu Ji's housekeeper out with him.
As Hu Dahai closed the door, Liu Ji looked at Suning nervously, "Prince Ming, what are you doing?"
"Haha, don't be nervous, Mr. Liu!
I just want to talk to Mr. Liu alone and don’t want others to come and disturb me.”
"Well?"
"Mr. Liu, in fact, I have known you a long time ago, and I know that you are from eastern Zhejiang, and you also have a grudge against Fang Guozhen, who now occupies eastern Zhejiang."
"What? Prince Ming actually knows about this?"
"Haha, Mr. Liu, I may know more than you think."
"Mr. Liu, you must also know that our Red Flag Army is negotiating with Fang Guozhen in eastern Zhejiang. Fang Guozhen has now put forward a condition that makes me very embarrassed.
Mr. Liu, do you think I should agree?"
Liu Ji already had a bad guess in his mind at this time. He swallowed hard and looked at Suning, "Your Majesty, what conditions did Fang Guozhen put forward?"
"The lives of the entire Liu family!"
"ah?"
Liu Ji was really stunned at this time. Whether this condition was proposed by Fang Guozhen or not, it was no longer important. Now that this condition came out of Ming Wang Suning's mouth, it immediately became a condition.
"Ahem! My wife Liu and I have grown up listening to your stories, so we really respect your talents and abilities."
"What?"
"Mr. Liu, our Red Flag Army really needs your joining so that the Red Flag Army can truly become bigger and stronger.
Mr. Liu, join our Red Flag Army!
Let’s work together to create the most ideal country.”
"Huh? My lord, you just said that you and your wife Liu grew up listening to my stories. Do I have such a high reputation in Shandong?"
"Haha, of course!
If my wife knew that I invited you back, she might be even happier than me."
Liu Ji saw that Suning didn't look like he was lying, and realized that Suning didn't need to lie to him about this matter, so he agreed without any retreat.
Suning also knew that when he told "Fang Guozhen's conditions", Liu Ji would have to join the Red Flag Army, so he was not excited about Liu Ji's agreement.
"Haha, welcome Mr. Liu to join our Red Flag Army.
The king will leave a company of Red Flag Army guards for Mr. Liu, numbering about one hundred and twenty people."
"Ah? So many people?"
"Haha, you should protect Mr. Liu."
"Thank you for your love, Your Majesty!"
"Well! I won't visit the other three of the "Four Sages of Western Zhejiang" one by one.
If I say any more conditions, don't scare them.
Mr. Liu, just take them to Jiqing Road together!"
"Yes! Your Majesty!" Liu Ji smiled bitterly at this time.
Chapter completed!
