As soon as Wu Sangui said this, there was a low discussion in the tent.
Xu Changqing also frowned and was silent.
I have to say that these generals of the Ming Dynasty may not be able to fight on the frontal battlefield, but if they go to the left and play routines, they are really all masters.
At this time, Wu Sangui's actions can definitely be said to be a model of the model.
Not only can the high-sounding let everyone retreat, but also swallow all the follow-up matters of Liaodi in one bite.
This will definitely save a lot of money from the imperial court!
Just by virtue of this, really, Wu Sangui is low.
Soon, Ma Ke, Liu Zhaoji, including Li Fuming, Yang Guozhu, Tang Tong, Bai Guangen, Wang Tingchen, Wang Pu, Cao Bianjiao, and everyone expressed their support for Wu Sangui's plan.
Everyone finished speaking, only Xu Changqing, a seemingly out of place little guerrilla, remained, and Hong Chengchou also looked at Xu Changqing with a smile: "Changqing, you, what do you think?" ”
Wang Chengen also looked at it.
It seems that both Hong Chengchou and Wang Chengen attach great importance to the opinions of Xu Changqing, a little guerrilla general!
Of course, Xu Changqing understood Hong Chengchou's thoughts, this should be that he had reached a compromise with everyone.
In this state, how could Xu Changqing destroy it?
Respectfully stood up and arched his hand and said: "Prince, governor, Wu Shuai's words are very serious, it is an extremely safe plan, and there is no objection to the humble position!" ”
Hong Chengchou looked at Wang Chengen with a smile again: "What does the prince think?" ”
Wang Chengen, as the representative of the Son of Heaven, must have wanted the Ming army to make some efforts to solve some problems more effectively, but at this time, Wang Chengen already knew that the people in Liaodi had already reached an agreement.
This state is not easy to change even in the imperial court.
Otherwise, it will not only provoke the rebellion of the generals, but the consumption of financial resources is not something that the imperial court can afford at this time.
After a moment, the old eunuch smiled kindly: "What the governor and the military and generals said are very reasonable, and the miscellaneous family is not very proficient in military affairs, so I won't say much!" However, everyone is serving the country, and the miscellaneous family will definitely honor the merits of the military and generals to the Son of Heaven. ”
The big framework has been reached, and the atmosphere in the tent is suddenly harmonious.
While everyone was talking and laughing, they talked about some other details, and ended the military discussion lightly and happily.
……
Back at his station, Xu Changqing also began to think carefully.
At this time, although no one has raised the matter of withdrawing troops, it is basically a certainty.
With so many armies, even if they are defeated, they have gathered a lot of manpower during this time, and they have been consumed in Liaodi, and this kind of cost is absolutely amazing!
According to the current financial resources of the imperial court, I am afraid it will be difficult to bear.
Not to mention, Li Chuang, Xian Thief, and other exile armies are now active again in the Central Plains region and the areas where Huguang and Sichuan meet.
Not surprisingly, today's report was sent to Beijing, and the imperial court will make a decision to withdraw the troops for the ministry.
However, the others can withdraw their troops and return to their respective stations, but Xu Changqing's side will definitely not be able to leave until the reward is accurate.
Because Xu Changqing's foundation is here!
Once he left Liaohai and lost his fishing income, Xu Changqing could only raise these people with real money.
Even if Xu Changqing had some savings at this time by selling the head and seizing the loot, it was still a drop in the bucket.
Fortunately, at this time, the overall situation has been decided, and Xu Changqing can also increase his efforts in fishing, and at the same time, use the channels of the Li family and his mother to buy more grain.
Today's military meeting was delayed for a lot of time, and it was almost noon when it ended, as if I could no longer go to Hope Island and Shark Island to inspect.
However, there is a place where you can go for a walk on Pig's Trotter Island.
Tonight, the Wu family is going to have a banquet for Xu Changqing, and it is not in Wu Sangui's big tent, but in the Wu Mansion, and Wu Sanmei also went back to prepare.
After a brief lunch, Xu Changqing took Li Youwei, Zhao Zengjin, Wang Anshan and other more than 100 personal guards to rush to Pig's Trotter Island.
Now, the more than 2,000 cows have been brought to the Green Snake Forest for temporary rearing.
The main reason is that there is a lot of grass here and the water source is abundant, which can save a lot of manpower and material resources.
However, although Xu Changqing's mood is good, Li Youwei's mood is extremely ...... Not good.
Yesterday, because of the arrival of the angel, Xu Changqing's trip to the Wu family was delayed, and she also tried her best to show her mind to Xu Changqing.
But the reality is so cruel, what should come will still come.
This made the girl's heart feel unspeakably powerless for a while.
It's so hard, it's so hard!
After Xu Changqing inspected the cattle pen on this side of the Green Snake Forest, he found that Li Youwei was wrong, but at this time, there were too many people around him, and there were too many things to be busy with, and Xu Changqing didn't have time to talk to Li Youwei.
After inspecting the cattle pen, he came to Pig's Trotter Island, and after briefly checking a few fishing spots, Xu Changqing took Li Youwei to the bamboo house on the mountain to rest, and finally had time to chat with Li Youwei.
But as soon as Xu Changqing spoke, Li Youwei's tears couldn't stop pouring out, and she suddenly threw herself into Xu Changqing's arms: "Brother Xu, you, marry the third sister!" The Wu family has a big business, and our Li family has already passed the gas, so I can't help you or anything. Woowoo woo ......"
In a moment, the girl's warm tears made the placket on Xu Changqing's chest wet and transparent.
Feeling the heartbreak trembling of the jade man in his arms, Xu Changqing was also a little speechless for a while.
It's so hard.
Of course, Xu Changqing understands Li Youwei's worries, in this era, although a man can marry many women, there can only be one wife, that is, the eldest wife.
This seems to be just a matter of name, but the difference is really worldly!
You don't see, the kind of development in later generations, for the sake of a name, how many people broke their heads, and even their wives were separated, and their families were ruined.
And whether it is Li Youwei or Wu Sanmei, at this time, Da Ming, marrying into anyone's family, is the best choice for a wife.
But at this time, both of them were on Xu Changqing's side......
"Youwei, you, don't cry yet. It's not that out of control. The Wu family is just a family feast, and it's not as serious as you think. ”
Xu Changqing hadn't finished speaking, but Li Youwei cried even more fiercely, "Brother Xu, I didn't blame you, I just hated!" Hate! Obviously we knew each other earlier, why was I so stupid and stupid at that time......"
Seeing Li Youwei's heartbroken appearance, Xu Changqing was even more bitter in his heart.
The girl in front of her used to be so noble, but now it is......
Xu Changqing didn't want to make a clear statement, but at this time, Xu Changqing could only express his position, and forcefully hugged the delicate body of the girl in his arms and said: "Youwei, if the Wu family has a request today, then, I will go to the Li family early tomorrow morning to propose marriage!" You and the third sister are no different! ”
"Really?"
Li Youwei seemed to come to life violently, and her beautiful eyes looked at Xu Changqing expectantly.
Xu Changqing smiled: "Of course it's true." Well, stop crying. If you cry again, you will become a little flower cat, but it is not good-looking. ”
"Nasty."
Li Youwei's pretty face suddenly turned red, but she was soon extremely shy, and suddenly threw herself into Xu Changqing's arms harder: "Brother Xu, it is the greatest luck in my life to meet you." ”
……
After appeasing Li Youwei, Xu Changqing's mood was also a lot brighter.
If it was said that before, Xu Changqing still had a lot of difficulty in operating this kind of thing, but at this time, with the title of 'Zhenguo General', the problem is no longer big.
It seems that Li Youwei's father, Li Shizhong, is now the rank of General of Zhenguo.
But his false position, compared with Xu Changqing's actual position at this time, is very different.
In the evening, Xu Changqing came to Wu's mansion on time for a banquet.
Wu Mansion is actually not big, it may be more than 20 acres, and it is very simple, far from the luxury imagined, except for the thickness and solemnity of some Jiangmen families, it may not be as good as the mansion of ordinary wealthy merchants.
This also made Xu Changqing understand that it was no luck that Wu Sangui and the Wu family could take a firm foundation in Liaodong and finally become the key chess pieces that determined the fate of the Chinese nation.
Xu Changqing came to the gate of Wu Mansion, Wu Sangui had been waiting here for a long time, and personally welcomed Xu Changqing into the main hall with a smile.
The pretty little maid served tea, and Wu Sanfu, who was serving on the side, had already gone to the kitchen to urge the dishes.
Wu Sangui said with a smile: "Brother Xu, speaking of which, it's been so long, and it's the first time we have time to sit down quietly and have a cup of tea." ”
Xu Changqing smiled: "Wu Shuai, the current peace is not easy to come by, and the brothers are fighting with their lives. ”
The two looked at each other and couldn't help but smile.
The Wu family prepared quite well, and soon, all kinds of exquisite dishes were served like an assembly line.
Wu Sanfu was not qualified to accompany him at this time, and when he finished the dishes, he respectfully withdrew and helped Xu Changqing and Wu Sangui close the door.
The tavern is thirty years, and the dishes are over five flavors.
Xu Changqing and Wu Sangui both had a little bit of alcohol, and Wu Sangui also said the topic with a smile: "Brother Xu, you and the third sister are now also talking about marriage, although my father is not around now, but I, as the elder brother, can also make decisions for the third sister." I had already written to the capital before, and I received a reply from my father the day before yesterday. Father also admires Brother Xu very much. Brother Xu, to be honest, we are not outsiders, are you going to settle things with the third sister? ”
Xu Changqing was a little big.
People rushed to the door to send their daughter, or the delicate 'golden branches and jade leaves', which is really cool.
Can......
If it is not handled well and hurts the heart of another jade person, it will not be beautiful.
Xu Changqing doesn't want to step on two boats, and when the time comes, it won't please either side, and the bamboo basket will be empty!
After thinking for a moment, Xu Changqing said solemnly: "Wu Shuai, this matter, the younger brother wanted to mention it to Wu Shuai before, but he was entangled in many trivial matters, and until now, he actually asked Wu Shuai to bring it up in person." Propose at any time! The younger brother has already been prepared. Merely~. ”
Xu Changqing paused for a moment, and looked at Wu Sangui's eyes more sincerely: "Wu Shuai, the matter of the reward is still unclear now, and the junior brother wants to wait for the reward to be clear, and then go directly to the capital to propose marriage to Lord Lao Taishan." Of course, Wu Shuai can rest assured that after that, even if he goes to Beijing, the younger brother will definitely take the third sister with him. ”
Wu Sangui seemed to be very satisfied with Xu Changqing's attitude, and nodded with a smile: "This matter is indeed not too anxious." After all, the third sister is still too young. However, the girls around the third sister are still good. It's all your own family, brother-in-law, you don't have to be too polite. ”
“……”
Xu Changqing was a little embarrassed for a while.
Lao Wu is really direct enough......
However, since he said so, after that, Xu Changqing would definitely not be polite again......
Moreover, you have to let Li Youwei do this......
This is especially holding back, and it doesn't seem to be in line with Xu Changqing's identity at this time......
chatted with Wu Sangui for a while, and the titles of the two had been changed to 'brother-in-law' and 'second brother'.
After more than a dozen glasses of wine, Wu Sangui's wine was even worse, and he touched a glass with Xu Changqing and threw out a more important topic:
"Brother-in-law, in your opinion, after that, how should the second brother be able to stabilize the situation in Liaodi and resolve the crisis in Jinzhou?"
Xu Changqing had already understood at this time that this was the real core of Wu Sangui's banquet tonight.
Frankly speaking, Wu Sangui wants to swallow all the exploits of the 'post-Songjin era', and his appetite is a little too big.
But, on the other hand, it's also the perfect choice!
Whether it is for Daming, Xu Changqing, or Hong Chengchou and other interest communities.
Because if you spend it here any longer, it won't do anyone any good.
And, to a large extent, Wu Sangui has this strength.
Wu Sangui and the Wu family seem to be in the limelight at this time, but why aren't they standing on the edge of the cliff?
If you are not careful, it will be a disaster for the whole family!
Xu Changqing didn't answer in a hurry, he thought about it for a long time, and slowly finished the wine in the cup in an orderly manner, and then said, "Second brother, your choice is correct." Now, to be honest, only you can clean up the mess in Liaodi! Including Jinzhou, only you are the most suitable person to communicate. However, this thing is a bit dangerous, and we have to plan it well. I don't know~~, what does the second brother think of the 'guerrilla warfare' I mentioned earlier? ”
