Although he didn't know whether his decision was right or wrong, Zuo Maodi felt that paying tribute to Jianyu before the negotiations began was completely a salary to put out the fire, and it might even trigger the Qing State's infinite desire for Jiangnan and bring disaster to the Ming Dynasty.

And this gold, silver, silk and grain were handed over to Liu Yongxi and Xing Shengping, they could at least train thousands of soldiers and horses, and if the Qing soldiers really wanted to go south, they would have to resist for a while, so he sneered: "I am fully responsible for the northern envoy this time, I am the right attendant of the military department and the manager of the right imperial history of the military department to contact the Kwantung military affairs in Hebei, I am in charge of the northern mission, and I can also be the master of the salaries of this batch of righteous teachers!"

Zuo Maodi has been dissatisfied with Chen Hongfan and Ma Shaoyu who only think about making peace with the Qing State for a long time, but the situation forced him to endure it, and now he finally broke out!

Lu Zhenfei laughed on the river: "With the help of Jianghuai Yishi, Zuo Shilang can naturally be strengthened by this trip, since Zhong and my brother have the same thing as my hero, let's have a good drink later?" ”

Zuo Maodi replied very heartily: "If you don't get drunk, you won't return, after all, this is probably the last time I will see Brother Bai in this life!"

Zuo Maodi already knew before he left Beijing that this time the northern envoy was more auspicious, but he had put life and death aside, and the only regret was that he was depressed all the way and couldn't see a drop of hope, and today Liu Yongxi and Xing Shengping withheld all the gold, silver, silk and grain in the name of "robbery", but let him see a glimmer of life.

And Lu Zhenfei is also heroic: "If you don't get drunk, you won't return, my brother and I are willing to promise the country with our bodies!"

Chen Hongfan and Ma Shaoyu next to him were already so anxious that they jumped up and down, and now Zuo Maodi directly cut through the chaos and asked Liu Yongxi: "Sincerity, can there be an edict from the Virgin Mary this time?" ”

Liu Yongxi did a good job in this matter: "If there is no edict from the mother, how dare I share the worries of the court and protect the country!"

Zuo Maodi immediately knelt down: "The minister Zuo Maodi received the order, the Virgin Mary had agreed with His Majesty in the past three chapters, I Daming and the thief Kou Jianyu have a common enmity, rashly seeking peace can only make the thief Kou look down on my Daming, so it is not allowed to talk about the matter of the New Year's currency without a war, and today's sincerity Bo is ordered to protect Cao Cao is not only for the court and the country, but also for the sake of His Majesty's wisdom!"

Zuo Maodi moved out Emperor Hongguang, and the three chapters of the law are also out-and-out facts, and now Zuo Maodi's statement can't find any fault, Chen Hongshao and Ma Shaoyu can only kneel down, and the river and the shore are already jubilant.

Whether it is the Caojiang Water Division, the officers and soldiers of Linhuai Town, or the officers and soldiers of Xingying, what they are most worried about is the problem of money and grain, and the money and grain of the imperial court will never be able to help, and now this soldier is willing to hand over all the gold, silver, silk and grain of the fleet to himself, so at least Linhuai Town does not have to worry about money and food for a few months.

The fleet has stopped, and now the Caojiang Sailor has taken over the entire fleet and the gold, silver, silk, and grain on it, and Chen Hongfan and Ma Shaoyu, the backbone of the Northern Mission, have been controlled.

And Zuo Maodi was instructing Liu Yongxi how to deal with the aftermath: "Sincerity, these gold, silver and grain are easy to handle, I suggest that you go to Huai'an or Yangzhou to change into cloth, a piece of silk can be exchanged for several pieces of cloth, and when the time comes, make a new military uniform for the soldiers, and anyone can be treated badly, but not the soldiers below!"

Liu Yongxi naturally listened attentively: "What Zuo Shibo said is extremely true, I will definitely do what Zuo Shibo wants!"

Lu Zhenfei next to him also smiled: "If you can't deal with it, you can let me help, although I am not the governor of Huaiyang, but I still have this face!"

Zuo Maodi is most concerned about the next step of Liu Yongxi and Xing Shengping's department: "Are you really going to follow me into Lu?" Shandong only has a few hundred real captives at most, and now there is a lot to be done in the north!"

Liu Yongxi thought very clearly: "But the imperial court does not dare to touch the Qing soldiers, otherwise Zuo Shibo will not pin his hopes on us, we really want to enter Lu with Zuo Shibo, I am afraid that the imperial court will feel that all this is planned by Shibo behind the scenes, Shibo might as well stay and run Jianghuai with me!"

Zuo Maodi had already put life and death aside: "The imperial court is asking me to manage Hebei to contact the Kwantung military affairs, I may already be stranded in Jianghuai, and now as long as there are a few hundred elites, I can take Quanlu!"

Liu Yongxi has long thought of this problem: "It is not difficult to take a section of Shandong, but how to pass through Shandong is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, Jianyu can invest tens of thousands of soldiers in Shandong at any time, Shandong is broken and cannot be defended, we are ready to do what Niangniang wants!"

Zuo Maodi was taken aback: "Niangniang has a plan for how to protect Jianghuai?" ”

Lu Zhenfei came out to help Liu Yongxi confirm this: "If it weren't for the kind words of the Virgin Mary that made me wake up like a dream, how could I have made a special trip to persuade Brother Maodi, Brother Maodi, I really think that this northern envoy may hurt the vitality of the country, you might as well stay and support the Virgin Mary with us!"

Although it was said that it was Queen Zhang's plan, it was actually Liu Yongxi's own idea, but now Liu Yongxi can only pretend to be a tiger: "Our Lady Niangniang did have a plan for a long time, and this time the protection is the meaning of Niangniang!"

But the more Liu Yongxi and Lu Zhenfei retained, Zuo Maodi's determination became more and more firm: "With the painstaking planning of the Virgin and Chengcheng, I can naturally go north calmly!" I must not stay, otherwise it will definitely affect the painstaking planning of the Virgin, after all, the Son of Heaven has seven rivals, although there is no way, he will not lose the world!"

Lu Zhenfei originally wanted to persuade Zuo Maodi, but he didn't expect Zuo Maodi to say it to death directly, and Zuo Maodi continued to ask Lu Zhenfei: "I heard that this is said by His Majesty himself, seeing that since Brother Bai has witnessed the three chapters of the covenant between Our Lady and His Royal Highness King Fu, is there such a thing?" ”

If it weren't for being the first to be liquidated in the Hongguang Dynasty, Lu Zhenfei would definitely deny it directly, but Lu Zhenfei, who suffered a series of blows, now pinned all his hopes on Empress Zhang: "There is indeed such a thing, otherwise I wouldn't ask Chengyi Bo to deduct this batch of coins, but Your Majesty is a pedantic and a celestial man, and he will become a generation of holy emperors!"

Zuo Maodi also knew that Lu Zhenfei's so-called "Your Majesty's pedantic heavenly man will become a generation of holy emperors" is pure nonsense, and now too many people are completely disappointed in Emperor Hongguang and the imperial court, but now Zuo Maodi has ignited infinite hope: "Seeing that Brother Bai is right, there is a Virgin Mother and a sincere uncle, and Brother Bai assists Your Majesty, there is great hope for the Ming Dynasty!"

Speaking of this, Zuo Maodi did not hesitate to take all the responsibility: "I am going to give the court a good explanation, and explain clearly the causes and consequences of my invitation to Chengyi Bo to come over to protect Cao, if the imperial court wants to investigate, it will also investigate the problem of me disposing of this batch of gold, silver, silk and grain without authorization, which has nothing to do with Chengyi Bo, and at that time I had already gone north to Shandong!"
