Xu Hongru paced back and forth for a few steps, and said with a somewhat heavy face: "Now that we have lost a lot of places, the army's morale is unstable, if we don't think of a way, I'm afraid we will be in chaos first." ”

Now, Wang Haoxian has long lost his original spirit, and the whole person seems to be a lot decadent. He really didn't have a good way to deal with the situation in front of him.

In terms of ability, Wang Haoxian himself is inferior to Xu Hongru; What's more, in terms of qualifications and prestige, he is even inferior to Xu Hongru.

Although the Wenxiang Sect was founded by Wang Haoxian's father, after so many years of development, the power has already been seized by Xu Hongru.

Originally, Wang Haoxian only held a certain amount of actual power in his hands, and wanted to expand his power through this rebellion. But now that the war has been fought, these things are no longer something he can continue to covet.

Not a single Qufu has been beaten, and it is impossible to want more. What's more, the current situation does not allow Wang Haoxian and Xu Hongru to think about anything more, and only with good cooperation can the two sides continue to survive.

So Wang Haoxian said: "Then what do you think?" ”

Xu Hongru's eyes were a little red, his expression was already hideous, and he gritted his back molars and said: "Feint to attack Qufu, bypass the blockade of the official army, and go straight to Jining!" ”

After hearing this, Wang Haoxian's face became very ugly.

went directly to Jining, of course Wang Haoxian knew what Xu Hongru's purpose was.

You must know that there is a big man in Jining City now, and that is the Dog Emperor. Now Xu Hongru wants to kill him directly to Jining, and the purpose can only be for the Dog Emperor.

It's not that I haven't thought about this aspect, and Wang Haoxian himself has thought about it. But the problem is that if you really give up the foundation here and kill the past, once you can't beat Jining City, then your side will lose everything, and even lose your life in Jining.

It is impossible not to take this into account. The most important thing is, how can Jining City be so easy to fight?

There are countless people gathered there now, and the safety of the dog emperor is naturally the top priority, and many dog officials are there to escort them. Jining even has the men and horses brought by the Dog Emperor from the capital, and the commander is the famous Qi Jin.

On his side, he ran directly over to fight Jining City, and the chances of winning were not great at all.

Now Wang Haoxian has no confidence at all.

His side was defeated by the official army and retreated, and he fought Qufu for half a month, but nothing was defeated. Now that he is going to fight Jining, he has no confidence.

In Wang Haoxian's view, this is a way to death.

Xu Hongru saw Wang Haoxian hesitate, and a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes. For his friend's son, Xu Hongru really doesn't like it.

What are you doing?

That's a rebellion, a livelihood with your head pinned to your belt, and if you're not careful, you'll die without a place to be buried.

If you don't even make this preparation, what are you rebelling against?

When it is favorable, when you think about being the emperor, your heart is extremely excited. When it comes to wanting to fight hard, you don't have the guts?

It's really useless!

However, Xu Hongru also knew that if he relied on his own people, there was little hope. Although Xu Hongru's team has developed rapidly, it has recently suffered several big defeats, and there are not too many people on hand.

Although he attacked the official army several times, won several battles, and even ran out easily, Xu Hongru knew in his heart that these were partial victories, and there was no way to influence the general trend.

If you can't change the general trend, then it will be a matter of time before you are eliminated, and the best result is to become a rogue.

But judging from the current situation, I don't even have a chance to wander. Shandong is destined to be unable to go south or north.

If you go south, then you will run into the garrison of Nanjing. Although the armaments in the south will be more wasteful, there are many families, not to mention the high walls of the city and the dense water network, I am afraid that I will not even be able to cross the Yangtze River and be blocked and killed.

If you go north, you will rush directly to Jizhen. There were a large number of garrisons there, and they were all border troops. If you go past with your own strength, you are looking for death.

So I can only go west. As long as you can bypass the officers and troops in front of you, you can go directly to Jining, and it is best if you can fight. It's better to catch the Dog Emperor, and then the world will be in chaos. In this way, you can take advantage of the opportunity to complete the great cause.

Even if you can't break through Jining City and catch the Dog Emperor, you can still cross the Grand Canal and go west. In this way, I have a chance.

So going west is the most advantageous decision.

However, Xu Hongru will not tell Wang Haoxian this idea. If he said it, Wang Haoxian might have chosen to run away.

In Xu Hongru's heart, capturing Jining City and capturing the Dog Emperor is the best ending.

Looking at Wang Haoxian, Xu Hongru knew that he couldn't let him go on like this, so he said directly: "You also know our current situation, when the army of the imperial court is surrounded, we can't go if we want to, and at that time there will be only one dead end." ”

"While you can still move, you have to fight for a life. As long as we reach the city of Jining, then the whole Shandong will be a mess, and the armies from all over the country will go to King Qin, and the men and horses under our command will have a chance to breathe, and the hall masters in other places will have the opportunity to gather people. ”

"When that time comes, there will be smoke everywhere, and the world will be in chaos, as long as we catch the Dog Emperor, then our great cause will be able to succeed. Now is not the time to hesitate, what we are doing is a headless business, and there is no time to hesitate here. ”

Wang Haoxian raised his head and looked at Xu Hongru, the expression on his face was also hideous, and he nodded vigorously and said, "Listen to you!" ”

Making such a decision at this moment, Wang Haoxian also made a big decision.

After the two discussed, they began to mobilize manpower.

Some of them feinted to attack Qufu, and the army quietly marched towards Jining, bypassing the rounded up officers and troops, and rushed directly to Jining City.

At the same time, in the city of Jining.

Zhu Youxiao was a little bored.

Things here in Shandong are not settled, and Zhu Youxiao can't leave yet.

But after staying in Jining City for so many days, the places that should be gone have gone, and the places that should have been visited, Zhu Youxiao really didn't know where to go.

As for Shandong's affairs, in Zhu Youxiao's view, what needs to be done has already been done. At this point, everything has settled.

It is impossible to completely destroy the Kong family, those thieves are really not angry, and if they want to deal with the Kong family, they can only confiscate some family property and confiscate some land. Other than that, it's unrealistic to want to do anything more.

Of course, if he can hold a grudge, after returning to the capital, he will secretly send people to do some small things, cut the meat little by little, and finally cut off the Kong family, no one will say anything at that time, and no one will even take a look.

The act of acting above board has to stop now.

In addition, there is also the Lu Palace.

The matter of King Lu's Mansion has also come to an end. Zhu Youxiao also confiscated the money, confiscated the land, and took away half of the property of the Lu Palace, which can be said to be enough.

At the same time, Zhu Youxiao also punished other clans, punished corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and copied a lot of homes.

In the past few days, Jining City has set off many ships back to the capital, all of which are transporting these properties.

Although Zhu Youxiao can continue to scrape, he can no longer scrape. If it is scraped again, the whole Shandong will be wasted.

However, in this battle performance, the Meng family is more competitive than the Kong family. The descendants of Mencius spontaneously organized the people to be strong, and they actually fought very well.

Obviously, the title of the Confucian family, the Duke of Yansheng, is really not beneficial at all, and once a person is promoted to a high position, it is easy to float.

Zhu Youxiao has already finished the affairs in Shandong, and the rest is to wrap it up.

Naturally, the finishing thing does not need to be done by Zhu Youxiao, the emperor, in person, just leave it to Xu Guangqi and them. Even Xu Guangqi doesn't need it, he can put Chen Sihai here to finish, and there will be no problem at all.

With nothing to do, Zhu Youxiao naturally felt bored.

Walking out of the room, Zhu Youxiao looked at Xu Guangqi who walked in from the outside, with a helpless expression on his face.

This is the second time Zhu Youxiao has seen Xu Guangqi here in three days.

To be honest, Zhu Youxiao didn't want to see Xu Guangqi anymore.

"Minister Xu Guangqi, see Your Majesty." After seeing Zhu Youxiao, Xu Guangqi hurriedly saluted.

Xu Guangqi was naturally meticulous, but Zhu Youxiao didn't have a smile on his face, and waved his hand weakly and said, "Is there anything wrong with Aiqing coming over today?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister has come to invite Your Majesty back to Beijing." Xu Guangqi said.

Zhu Youxiao sighed.

This is not the first time Xu Guangqi has put forward this opinion, and he has been encouraging Zhu Youxiao to return to the capital in the past few days.

In Xu Guangqi's words, the rebellion in Shandong is no longer a climate, and the extermination of those rebels is a matter of these days, and His Majesty has no meaning here. Next, appeasing the people and calming Shandong, these are all things that the officials have to do, and they are not at all for His Majesty to mix.

If the officials do not do well, then punish them severely. Your Majesty doesn't need to stare here, now Your Majesty has been away from Beijing for a long time, although there is no unstable people in the capital, but it is not a good thing for the emperor to leave the capital for a long time.

What's more, there has been such a big movement in Shandong this time, and the world is in turmoil, so His Majesty should naturally sit in the capital.

For this reason, Xu Guangqi even wrote a question book to elaborate his reasons.

In fact, Zhu Youxiao understood that Xu Guangqi meant not to let himself continue to go south, and let him go back to the capital as soon as possible. There are only four words, that is, accept it when you see it.

In Xu Guangqi's words, Shandong has made such a big move, and the world is shaken. Now everywhere is worried about Your Majesty, the officials in all places are panicking, and the scholars in the world can't find their way.

At times like these, the most important thing is to calm people's hearts. As long as His Majesty returns to Beijing, everything will be stable. It is imperative to go back and reclean people's hearts and appease the world's readers.

There is no benefit in continuing to go south, and as for wanting silver, His Majesty has already made a lot of money this time.

Xu Guangqi followed Zhu Youxiao, and he was Zhu Youxiao's big housekeeper this time, so he naturally knew Zhu Youxiao's accounts this time very clearly.

His Majesty came out this time and fished out more than 17 million silver, as well as a lot of antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and shop title deeds, which will definitely be sold in the future, and even if they can't be sold, they will be allocated to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It's all money.

In Xu Guangqi's opinion, this money is enough for His Majesty to use for some days, so there is no need to take it down to get money, it is enough to engage in this guy.

If you continue to make money, it will definitely cause a local backlash, and the gains will outweigh the losses.

Zhu Youxiao looked at Xu Guangqi and said helplessly: "What else does Aiqing want to say?" ”

Xu Guangqi knew that what he had done was disgusted by His Majesty. But now, Xu Guangqi also knew that he couldn't retreat, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "Your Majesty, Jiangnan can't move now." ”

Since the first time he saw His Majesty, Xu Guangqi has told a lot of truths, and at that time he was scared enough, and even Xu Guangqi felt that he couldn't get out of the palace.

But the result was that His Majesty not only did not blame himself, but rewarded himself and praised himself for telling the truth.

So now that Xu Guangqi is telling the truth, there is no pressure in his heart.

"The situation in Liaodong is not stable, and the Tartars are eyeing the north of Xinjiang; The Tartars in the northwest had just invaded a few years ago, and the Ming Dynasty suffered heavy losses; Another earthquake struck Yulin and other places in Shaanxi Province, displacing people. These things are all things that need to be solved urgently, so Jiangnan can't be messed up. ”

Xu Guangqi said with a calm face: "Now Your Majesty needs to stabilize the court, pacify Liaodong as soon as possible, clean up the nine borders, strictly enforce military discipline, and at the same time teach the Tartars a lesson, so that they dare not commit crimes again." In this way, the court can be stable and the northern Xinjiang can be stable. ”

"When that time comes, Your Majesty can go south, and the minister will definitely not stop it." Speaking of this, Xu Guangqi picked up his clothes and knelt on the ground, and said with some emotion: "Your Majesty promoted the minister to Weimo, and the minister was happy in his heart, and he was more happy. Daming has this Mingjun, ZTE is hopeful! ”

"Your Majesty has done what he has done, and the ministers are also impressed. His Majesty punished corrupt officials, promoted the rule of officials, and severely punished the nobles and relatives. Even if the vassal king is involved, His Majesty will not be merciful. This is a just and strict monarch, and the courtiers are even more pleased. ”

"But Your Majesty, if the north is not peaceful, the world will not be quiet. Earlier, there was a rebellion in the southwest, and now there is a rebellion against the Wenxiang Sect in Shandong, why not? ”

"It's just that the world underestimates the weakness of the imperial court that dares to act against the sky. Your Majesty's vision should not focus on small profits, but should take a long-term view, look at the world, and run through the past and the present. Only by boosting the court and stabilizing the frontier can we make Xiaoxiao lose courage. Your Majesty, please be wise! ”

Zhu Youxiao looked at Xu Guangqi, sighed helplessly, walked to his side, and gently helped him up.

I have to say that Zhu Youxiao felt that he was moved by Xu Guangqi's words.

In fact, Zhu Youxiao didn't want to go to Nanjing.

His next target is Lianghuai, to put it bluntly, he is going to the salt.

Of course, this was the previous goal.

Zhu Youxiao didn't expect to be able to fish so much in Shandong. Now that you've made so much money, it's time to stop.
