Xu Changqing didn't expect Hong Chengchou to come over at this time, and his brows furrowed slightly.

Wu Sanmei and the two little girls are both sensible people, and they also became nervous all of a sudden, Wu Sanmei hurriedly said: "Brother Xu, Rui'er and Aduo, I'll go to the auxiliary tent to play for a while." ”

Xu Changqing smiled, rubbed Wu Sanmei's little head dotingly, and came to remember 'touch the head to kill', "Okay." When you're done with business, Brother Xu will drink with you. ”

"Okay."

Wu Sanmei's little face was red and about to drip water, so she hurriedly followed Xu Changqing and went out of the tent together.

Outside the tent, Hong Chengchou was already waiting not far away.

Wu Sanmei's three little girls quickly went to the auxiliary tent next door, and Xu Changqing walked forward quickly, smiling and respectfully kneeling down on one knee and saluting Hong Chengchou: "Governor, if you have something to call for a humble position, why did you come here in person?" ”

Hong Chengchou knew Wu Sanmei, and was slightly stunned when he saw Wu Sanmei, but he came back to his senses in a moment, and the kid in front of him is definitely the golden beetle son-in-law with the highest gold content in the entire Ming Dynasty.

He couldn't help but want to marry his daughter to this kid.

couldn't help laughing and said, "It's my fault that this matter didn't disturb your kid's good deeds, right?" ”

Seeing that Hong Chengchou actually teased himself like this, Xu Changqing was a little speechless for a while, and his old face couldn't help but blush a little.

Lao Hong, this guy is not authentic.

However, Xu Changqing quickly adjusted, which just showed that Hong Chengchou was in a wonderful mood at this time, and he was busy introducing Hong Chengchou into the account with a smile, and briefly introduced his friendship with Wu Sanmei.

Hong Chengchou smiled and couldn't help but glance at Xu Changqing: "You kid, it's a blessing." ”

Even though he admires Xu Changqing very much, how can many things in Hong Chengchou's bones be easily changed? How could his daughters, including granddaughters, marry a warrior?

came to the tent and sat down, the soldiers served tea, the two of them drank a few sips, and Hong Chengchou also said the topic, about Zhang Ruoqi.

After speaking, Hong Chengchou did not express his position easily, and looked at Xu Changqing quietly.

Xu Changqing frowned slightly, falling into thought.

After a while, Xu Changqing spoke: "Governor, there is indeed some misunderstanding between me and Zhang Jianjun. However, these are minor misunderstandings, and they are not unsolvable. Since the Warden wants to reconcile, it is not a good thing. ”

As he spoke, Xu Changqing looked into Hong Chengchou's eyes: "Governor, my opinion is that it can be reconciled!" ”

Hong Chengchou couldn't help laughing, and immediately, he laughed: "Changqing, I was going to persuade you for a while, but I didn't expect you kid to understand it so quickly." That's right. People can't just take into account the gains and losses of one time and one place, and they must take a long-term view. If you can figure this out, I'm relieved. By the way, what do you think about the war after that? ”

Although Hong Chengchou didn't bother with Zhang Ruoqi's affairs, the last few sentences were solid points, how could Xu Changqing not understand what he meant?

In officialdom, there are no eternal enemies, there are, only eternal interests!

Zhang Ruoqi's guy is indeed not authentic, and he is not wronged when he kills him.

However, this is not good for the big picture!

Just like the famous words of Yan Ge's godson back then: "Yan Shifan, you have to let people speak!" ”

In this state, engaging in 'Yiyantang' seems to be beneficial for the present, but it is definitely not conducive to the future!

It must be known that the gangsters in the court may not be able to do their jobs, but they are definitely masters of the masters.

At this time, leaving Zhang Ruoqi a way to live, it seems that Xu Changqing is a loss, but the reward after that will definitely be beneficial.

Including wind reviews and word of mouth, they are also very beneficial.

In this way, how could Xu Changqing not tolerate Zhang Ruoqi's old dog?

It must be known that he Xu Changqing is not yet a weak crown at this time, only eighteen years old, if Zhang Ruoqi really dares to play any moth in the future, Xu Changqing has time to play slowly with him.

As for Hong Chengchou asking about the war after that, Xu Changqing will definitely not say too much, the overall situation has been decided, so why do you need to take the lead again?

However, in the end, Xu Changqing still mentioned to Hong Chengchou: "Governor, Ning Yuan is not worried about his humble position, but Qiantun is ......."

Hong Chengchou was stunned for a moment, but in an instant, he understood what Xu Changqing meant, and looked at Xu Changqing's eyes: "Xiao Xu, you mean ......?"

Xu Changqing nodded: "Governor, if the Manchu Qing Dynasty establishes a new master, it will definitely come to the three fires." But if they attack Ning Yuan and turn their attention to Qiantun, things will be a little difficult. ”

Hong Chengchou's old eyes suddenly narrowed tightly.

Qiantunwei is the last big city behind Ning Yuan and before Guannei, and it is also the place where the famous general Zhao Shujiao started more than ten years ago.

Although the Qing army sent many rangers to harass the Qiantun area and conquered many small forts, the Qiantun has never been breached, and there are many people and materials in it.

Although Xu Changqing didn't say too much detail at this time, Hong Chengchou already understood the possibility very well, and it was almost inevitable!

In other words, Qiantun has a great possibility, and it is even more dangerous than Jinzhou!

But this matter, just like giving up Xingshan and Tashan before, is too much to do, Hong Chengchou did not rush to express his position, and said after a while: "Xiao Xu, I still need to think about this matter." ”

Xu Changqing would definitely not force Hong Chengchou to sway him, and said with a smile: "Governor, Qiantun is much easier to guard than Songjin." ”

The two looked at each other and couldn't help but smile.

Qiantun is the defense area of Wang Tingchen, Wang Tingchen's strength has not been lost too much, and he is also very talented, so putting Wang Tingchen back is not too big a problem.

With the Qing army in this state at this time, it is impossible to toss in the hinterland of western Liaoning for too long!

…

After sending Hong Chengchou away, Xu Changqing came to the auxiliary tent and saw Rui'er and Ah Duo teaching Wu Sanmei to fold the quilt, and the three little girls were smiling and whispering around the quilt full of Xu Changqing's taste.

When Mu Ran heard Xu Changqing come in, the three little girls were suddenly a little stunned.

Especially Wu Sanmei, her ears were instantly red, and her little head was about to drop to her full chest, so she didn't dare to look at Xu Changqing anymore.

Xu Changqing couldn't help but smile: "Third sister, I just saw a fairy daughter who was helping me fold the quilt." ”

Wu Sanmei came back to her senses for a while, and couldn't help but glance at Xu Changqing with coquettishness: "Brother Xu, you are necrotic." People ignore you. ”

As he spoke, he stomped his feet and ran out shyly.

But after a moment, she turned back again, "Brother Xu, you go out first." We're done packing up and you're coming in. ”

Xu Changqing withdrew from the auxiliary tent with a smile, but said secretly in his heart: "Tonight, shouldn't I bring the peonies back from Hope Island?" ”

…

Happy times always fly by.

Although Wu Sanmei really wanted to have dinner with Xu Changqing, she was still young after all, and she had no marriage contract, so she didn't dare to stay in Xu Changqing's camp for too long.

Xu Changqing originally wanted to send Wu Sanmei home, but as soon as he arrived at the door, Wu Sanfu had already brought someone over.

Wu Sanfu became more and more respectful to Xu Changqing at this time, exchanged a few words of greeting, and invited Xu Changqing to have time to go to Wu's house as a guest, so he left with Wu Sanmei.

Watching the brother and sister leave, Xu Changqing touched his nose, it seems that when he is done here, it is time to go to the Wu family to have a good chat.

After chatting with Wu Sangui, I just went to the capital to reward him, and at that time, I would be able to visit the old Taishan Wu Xiang who was retiring in the capital.

Xu Changqing didn't send someone to Hope Island to pick up people tonight.

Although this is a phased victory, there are still many things to plan and operate.

Anyway, the meat is already on the lips, so why rush it?

In the evening, Xu Changqing first convened a meeting with the generals of various departments, and then took everyone to inspect the defense of the camp, that is, he locked himself in the tent and planned in detail.

The casualties of the raid on the Huangtaiji camp were counted at noon today, and Xu Changqing, Cao Bianjiao, and Wang Pu were injured in total, more than 1,200 people.

In other words, more than 1,200 sons and daughters have not walked out of the camp of Zhenghuangqi......

The rest of the people who came back alive were also all wounded.

It's really in response to the old saying: "One will make ten thousand bones dry!" ”

However, most of these casualties were the elite families of Cao Bianjiao and Wang Pu, and Xu Changqing's side was too vegetable because of the sequence of soldiers, so he didn't go up to fight a tough battle, and there was no damage.

But Xu Changqing will definitely give a part of these people's pensions.

Otherwise, it can't be said.

When the damage is over, it's the harvest.

Xu Changqing's side, with the world-beating skills of the Buddha of Huang Taiji, is not too great for the other heads, and a hundred levels are enough, mainly for Zhao Zengjin, Ergou, Zhang Long, and Zhang Hu to be promoted.

The others are more subsidies for Cao Bianjiao and Wang Pu.

If it was possible, Xu Changqing would definitely have to slaughter Bai Guangen, Ma Ke, and Tang Tong's gang and sell some heads to them.

After thinking about it carefully, Xu Changqing suddenly smiled.

This is no longer a matter of possibility, but necessity!

Bai Guangen, Ma Ke, Tang Tong, including Liu Zhaoji, they want to 'get rid of their crimes' and avoid the punishment of the imperial court, and they can get this blood if they don't come out!

Well, I can discuss this matter with Lao Cao and Wang Pu tomorrow.

After all, there are so many people in the Nine Sides now, and it is impossible for the imperial court to really treat these veteran old military leaders really well.

This isn't about dealing with those chicken-like Wenchen!

At this time, he is already in the posture of a winner, there is no need to do things absolutely, at most, the heart is just a black spot.

Moreover, if the Qing army comes to attack later, with the strong geographical and material advantages of Ningyuan City, it should not be too difficult to get some heads, and when the time comes, it will be a lot of silver.

Accumulating more silver can also lay more foundations for your future development.

As for where the reward goes, Xu Changqing was also a little big for a while.

Frankly, the best place is definitely Shandong.

In later generations, Xu Changqing's hometown was from Shandong, and he was very familiar with the terrain and resources over there.

Shandong is not only rich in coal, iron, oil, this super strategic material, but also quite a lot of fields, many of which are quite fertile.

Moreover, Shandong's location is quite superior, it can be attacked and defended, and it grasps the core lifeline of the Grand Canal, which can be said to be a fortress among fortresses.

The Shandong Peninsula is full of islands and has countless excellent ports.

Not to mention Lingshanwei (later Island City), Andongwei (Rizhao), Weihaiwei, Dengzhouwei, etc., which have long been swallowed by the military, even if Xu Changqing started from the sea, the problem is not big.

However, if you go to Shandong, you are destined to stay away from Liaodi.

Moreover, it is not a big problem for him to be promoted to the chief soldier, but I am afraid that the imperial court will have certain difficulties in arranging, and he will have to pay a lot of blood.

The rest are Tianjin Wei and Dagukou, including several cities along the Guannai, or directly rooted in Liaodi.

After thinking about it for a long time, Xu Changqing didn't have a clue.

This thing is not clear enough now, so we can't be too anxious, and we still have to wait for the situation to be clear before making a decision.

However, even if you don't go to Shandong, Dagukou City, including the many island groups on the Shandong Peninsula, Xu Changqing will definitely take it!

It's all white money!

Not only is the geographical location extremely dangerous, but it is also a good place to boil salt!

According to the profiteering nature of the Daming salt industry, and backed by the Changlu Salt Farm, if the operation is good, a year to hold tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, I'm afraid there is no difficulty.
