Chapter 9: Alliances
Don't look at Liu Kongzhao, he doesn't seem to have much martial arts atmosphere, but he has always liked to come straight up, so he didn't understand what Liu Yongxi meant by his words for a while: "What has changed in the north?" ”
Liu Yongxi just wanted to explain, but Wang Sunfan next to him had already understood: "There is a change in the north? Did you say that Jianyu sent troops? ”
Liu Yongxi shook his head and said, "Lu Daqi is so fearless, it must be because of the change in the north. But he didn't understand at all, if the thieves won, Jiangnan would naturally be in danger, but if Jianyu won, I'm afraid it would be difficult to maintain the situation of even crossing the south in clothes......"
Although Lu Zhenfei, the governor of Huaiyang, had just defeated thousands of outposts of the thief Li Zilai in Huaibei a few days ago, for the nascent Nanming regime, the first thing to solve now was the problem of survival, and it would be terrible bad news for either the thief or Jianyu to win.
Wang Sunfan felt that what Liu Yongxi said was very reasonable, and it happened that Yang Longyou had already come over to say hello: "Uncle Sincerity, Brother Sun Fan, and Gongzi Yongxi, I prepared a family banquet in Ji'e Lane tonight, let's go over and have two drinks together?" ”
Yang Longyou's house is on the bank of the Qinhuai River, but Ma Shiying's house is in Ji'e Lane, so it is naturally Ma Shiying's treat tonight.
Since Wang Sunfan rushed all the way up with his political achievements, he was naturally not afraid of many friends: "Is Ma Yaocao in a hurry?" Or are you in a hurry first, Brother Longyou? I think that the problem of Ruan Yuanhai's recovery can be put aside for a while, since he has been waiting for so many years, he is not in a hurry for a while! ”
Yang Longyou could only smile bitterly: "Ruan Dacheng's revenge must be put aside, the edict of the prison state said that people in the reverse case are not allowed to recover, what else can he do except continue to wait, the reason why I invited a few people to the past is for Ma Shiying to enter the cabinet, if Ma Shiying can't enter the cabinet, what should we Guizhou people do!" ”
Whether Ma Shiying can enter the cabinet is not only the premise of Ruan Dacheng's recovery, but also the future of their hundreds of Guizhou township parties, Yang Longyou himself has not been able to recover after Chongzhen's resignation in 15 years, and his three brothers-in-law are also at home.
Although he has mountains of gold and silver at home, he usually spends a lot of money, and if he continues like this, it will definitely end up empty.
In this case, Ma Shiying's entry into the cabinet has become the consensus of these Guizhou people, and Yang Longyou clearly told Liu Kongzhao: "Sincerity, doesn't Yongxi Gongzi want to form an army in Jiangbei?" Now there are a lot of weapons and military uniforms and military materials that have been idle over the years in Fengyang's warehouse, which can be lent to Yongxi Gongzi, if Yongxi Gongzi has any other needs, just talk to me! ”
Although Yang Longyou's words are not very convincing, it really shows that Ma Shiying has done whatever it takes to enter the cabinet, Liu Yongxi immediately asked: "I will send someone to Fengyang to recruit homeless people to buy horses, I don't know if Governor Ma can make it convenient!" ”
Yang Longyou said very clearly: "Anyway, no matter who enters the cabinet, they must face the fact that Jiangbei has set up a new army!" ”
Originally, Ma Shiying and Yang Longyou would not have made such a promise, but now that the four towns in Jiangbei are too big to fall, it is enough for the imperial court to be anxious, and the establishment of a new town naturally represents more trouble, not to mention the problem of Liu Yongxi and Liu Kongzhao's father and son joining forces to fight against the imperial court.
Since Ma Shiying is ready to join the cabinet as the main assistant, how can he make trouble for himself.
But now Ma Shiying, Tian Yang, Yue Qijie, Yang Longyou, and other township parties have clearly realized that if Ma Shiying cannot enter the cabinet, the people of Guizhou will gain nothing.
Although in any respect, Ma Shiying, who has the absolute trust of King Fu and has the ability to make decisions, should enter the cabinet, Shi Kefa also said that he would not prevent Ma Shiying from entering the cabinet, and Yang Longyou personally ran from it to contact him in the center, which naturally included old friends of Donglin and Fushe.
But since Donglin's side can overturn the finalized edict of the prison and start over, it is naturally not trustworthy in this matter.
In this case, Liu Kongzhao, the very influential sincere Bo Liu Kongzhao among the Nanjing lords, naturally became the object that Ma Shiying had to fight for.
And Liu Kongzhao finally figured it out: "Since Ma Yaocao is optimistic about my family Yongxi, then our sincerity Bofu naturally can't lag behind, Yongxi, tell me directly what you want!" Ask people to give people, ask money to give money, give what you want! ”
For Liu Yongxi, this is the biggest gain, he knows very well that the family background of the Sincerity Bofu can arm at least half of the battalion.
More importantly, Liu Kongzhao also has the control of the river water master, although the resources of the river water master are not everything, but they are also extremely rich.
Moreover, what Liu Yongxi lacks most at the moment is the absolutely reliable veteran backbone, and the third admiral of Chengyi Bo Cao Jiang, there are many reliable people like Zhou Zhisheng in the Cao Jiang Water Division.
With the full support of Liu Kongzhao and Ma Shiying, Jiangbei's 2,500-strong new army will be able to set up a team in the shortest possible time.
It's just that Liu Kongxi always felt that his heart was full of depression, looked back at the clouds in the north, and sighed again.
But Lu Daqi's thoughts are completely different from Liu Yongxi's, Shi Kefa originally wanted to complain about Lu Daqi, but now he wants to know what is the same thing as soon as possible: "Is this matter serious?" Did Wu Sangui really defeat the thieves in front of Shanhaiguan? ”
Lu Daqi only received the news from the north last night, but the information about the battle of a piece of stone was very confusing.
Some say that Wu Sangui's Guanning army has recovered the capital after breaking the thieves at Shanhaiguan, there are also those who say that Wu Sangui and the thieves are still holding each other and have now asked for help from Jianyu, and there is also news that the thieves are not Wu Sangui's Guanning army, but the 200,000 Manchurian soldiers who were suddenly killed.
But one thing is very clear, that is, the thief Li Zicheng suffered a heavy setback in Shanhaiguan, and now he has decided to retreat to the Beijing Division, and the Jianyu outside the pass has directly intervened in this big battle, and the offensive and defensive momentum between the north and the south is likely to be completely reversed.
Lu Daqi, as a squire of the military department, was naturally the first person to contact the side newspaper, and he said very excitedly: "The news is true, Wu Sangui has broken 100,000 elite soldiers, and the defeat of the thieves has been decided, but I don't know whether to borrow the power of Jianyu, but now I don't have to worry about those rebellious ministers and thieves who may throw themselves into the thieves!" ”
It was not a Lu Daqi who was very dissatisfied with the deletion of the thirteen words "except for the feudal territory, the reverse case, the dictionary, and the stolen goods", and after getting the news that Wu Sangui had broken the thief at the Customs, the Donglin Party members felt that they did not need to be in the same stream with those chaotic ministers and thieves.
It was with the full support of these Donglin backbones that Lu Daqi dared to re-add this passage to the edict of the prison state behind Shi Kefa's back, blocking the road to recovery of many Donglin's sworn enemies.
Shi Kefa still felt that something was wrong: "But the gentleman of voice, there are not a few people who have been dismissed because of the closure of the territory, the calculation of the code, and the smuggling!" ”
