Yang Xin did underestimate the IQ of an old fox like Li Sancai.

Of course, Li Sancai did not return to Zhangjiawan.

Not only him, but even several of his sons left Zhangjiawan yesterday afternoon under the pretext of visiting friends, and only a few grandchildren who were not yet minors remained at home.

As for where they go to visit friends, I don't know.

Li Qianshangshu has a wide range of friends, and there are his friends in almost all places in the entire Ming Dynasty, maybe Jiangnan, maybe Sichuan, maybe Shaanxi, even Liaodong is not impossible. He is an old man who has resigned from his official position and is at home, and now he has no other hobbies except traveling, in short, the rest of the family is a group of old and weak women and children who really don't know where he has gone. As for Wang An's framing of him, we women and children definitely don't know, if you Jinyiwei want to arrest us......

"This old thief!"

Tian Ergeng said hatefully.

Yang Xin looked at them, and hundreds of students of Shuanghe Academy were silently surrounding the door.

It's not just these students.

Even the main gentry and merchants in Zhangjiawan City were all blocked in front of the door, looking at these eunuch eagle dogs with unkind eyes, and the air was full of gunpowder.

Tian Ergeng also looked at them with some uneasiness......

"You go back to Beijing first!"

Yang Xin said.

"Now Your Majesty's safety is important, the pursuit in several other directions continues, Li Sancai must not be let go to the south, his purpose is not so simple, once he goes to the south, if we arrest him again, the Donglin Party will take advantage of this to provoke a popular uprising."

He went on to say.

Li Sancai's escape was not for his own safety at all, he was planning to rescue Yang Lian and others.

These people must not escape, they are all incumbent officials, it is impossible to leave the capital without permission under the pretext of visiting friends, and as soon as they leave, they will be counted as absconding in fear of crime, so they can only wait for the Jinyi guard to come to arrest them.

But as long as they don't plead guilty, the case will stalemate.

And he went to the south and directly convened the Donglin Party, which mobilized the gentry of the southern Zhili to form a storm of public opinion against the emperor, first instigated the people to criticize Jinyiwei, and then waited for Jinyiwei to come to arrest him in places like Nandu or Suzhou. As long as Jinyiwei comes to arrest him, then they will incite a civil uprising, and even a large-scale civil uprising in various parts of Nanzhili, that is, the tombstone of the five people, and finally force the apocalypse to submit, and the apocalypse will continue if he does not give in.

Anyway, Nanzhili is the territory of the Donglin Party, where they have the final say.

And they don't need to rebel, as long as the gentry of Nanzhili collectively strike the market to block the Cao Yun.

And then what else can the apocalypse?

Only surrender to them and release these people without guilt.

In this way, not only the Li family is fine, but Yang Lian and these people are also fine, and they can even use this to give this little emperor a slap in the face, let him know not to think that he can do whatever he wants with a good thug, and the Ming Dynasty is not for him to have the final say as a fifteen-year-old child. In the final analysis, the core of this struggle is still the question of who has the final say in the Ming Dynasty, the Wenchen and gentry who were accustomed to being accustomed to a careless emperor by Wanli, and who were in a very comfortable mood by Taichang, suddenly replaced with an emperor who showed his edge, they were unwilling to accept it like this, they wanted to tame this little emperor.

Just as they used to tame those new kings.

If they can use this to teach the Apocalypse a profound lesson, then the little emperor will then restrain his minions, and gradually be bound by them to continue to use the cage of the system, and finally let the Ming return to the path they want.

"Old treacherous and cunning!"

Yang Xin said with emotion.

"Yang Tongzhi, no matter how fast he is, he can't be faster than our post road official document, he will definitely not abscond in disguise in order to show his innocence, and he will definitely occasionally appear in public along the way, I will send someone to notify Jinyi guards everywhere to intercept it."

Tian Ergeng said.

"What if he doesn't go by land?"

Yang Xin said.

"Not by land?"

Tian Ergeng was stunned.

Indeed, Li Sancai will not go by land.

He first had to prove that he was not absconding, and if he went by land, he would have to make occasional public appearances and get together with some old friends along the canal, then he would soon be caught up by the Jinyi Guard, and in the non-Donglin controlled areas of Beizhili and Shandong, he could not really create a popular uprising that threatened the emperor. Only after crossing the Huai River can he have such ability, this old guy has been the governor of Caoyun for more than ten years, and there are good friends in Huai'an, Yangzhou, and other places.

These people were enough to protect him as he continued his journey south, eventually reaching Donglin Academy.

As long as he stepped into Donglin Academy, the person who lost was the Apocalypse, because the Apocalypse could not stop the large-scale civil uprising set off by the gentry of Nanzhili.

That was where the food and clothing of the imperial court were.

As long as there is a civil uprising in Nanzhili, which affects Caoyun, Tianqi can only admit defeat.

That's why Li San just went to sea.

Gegu.

"Admiral, no!"

He Kun, the commander of the Dangkou Army Battalion, who had just finished searching those merchant ships, said cautiously.

This small leader of the Smelling Fragrance Sect has adapted well to his new identity, including those disciples who formed this army together, and they have also started a new life in the twenty military camps, except for the twentieth battalion, which is specifically responsible for fishing, the other battalions are digging rivers while reclaiming the wasteland, and the sweet potatoes are also close to harvest, and they have actually begun to dig and eat. The terrifying yield of this new crop made these disciples cheer, and Yang Xin had already taught them how to eat it, and even sweet potato pancakes appeared, although the taste was indeed not very delicious, but fortunately, it was very satisfying to be able to eat enough in this year.

Besides, they actually eat mainly the rice that Yang Xin bought.

In addition, there are those fish caught by trawlers, this new fishing technology has turned almost one-third of the food of the entire Dangkou army into fish, eating fresh fish at a close distance, eating homemade canned fish from afar, and canned heavy salt, spices and peppers in clay pots, even in summer, it is enough to transport to the first camp of Tangguantun, but then with the arrival of the winter ice age, you can only eat salted fish.

Of course, they are also absolutely loyal to Yang Xin.

"No?"

Yang Xin said suspiciously.

Li Sancai can only go to Tianjin when he goes to sea.

It is normal to ride a horse by land from the capital to Tianjin for two days, and even if Li Sancai's age is fast, it is impossible to be less than one and a half days......

"It's already out to sea!"

At this time, Huang Zhen hurriedly ran over.

"Half an hour ago, a centipede ship from Tianjin went to sea, and it is said that it carried a distinguished guest from the capital for the purpose of going to Dengzhou."

He went on to say.

"Arrange for the fastest ship and chase!"

Yang Xin said.

This old fellow in his sixties is in good health enough, he ran two hundred miles in less than two days, and he can still take a boat out to sea before him, but no matter how fast he is, it is useless, he will go to Dengzhou after all, and this point cannot be bypassed no matter what.

Soon a rowing fishing boat was ready.

This is actually the Centipede boat modification of the sailor, that is, the Ming Dynasty version made according to the galleys used by the Portuguese in Macao, the oars and sails are fast, but they can't sail the ocean, they can only move inshore, and if they want to play trawlers in the era when there is no engine, either they have excellent crews who can use large sailboats, or they simply go on this.

The crew of the boat is actually fishermen from the original area.

After Yang Xin cleaned up those fishermen, he forcibly hired them, at first he was unwilling, but soon he was very happy, after all, these fishermen lived a very hard life, and Yang Xin could provide them with a life of abundant food and clothing. With these fishermen as the backbone, supplemented by some soldiers of the Dangkou army, Yang Xin's fishing team consisted of fishing in Bohai Bay, using new trawls to sweep savagely, and then handing over the catch to soldiers who specialized in canning and salted fish, which served as aquatic product processing.

At this time, a preliminary industrialization has been formed, and the canned food that cannot be eaten has been sold.

And it's quite popular.

That is, because of the use of clay pots, the storage time is very short, and it can only be sold within a hundred miles of the surrounding area, but this is much stronger than in the past.

Even under the guidance of Yang Xin, he began to hunt whales.

It's just a calf.

Bohai Bay is also unlikely to be big.

These calves were also not refined, but were eaten directly as fat and canned.

After Yang Xin boarded the ship, he went straight to the direction of Dengzhou.

Because it wasn't fishing, he took multiple groups of fighters on the boat to row in shifts, but even then he couldn't catch up with Li Sancai......

Of course, it is also possible to miss it.

In short, two days later, his ship arrived in Dengzhou.

Dengzhou.

Prepare for the water city.

"Yang Tongzhi suddenly came, and before he could greet him from afar, he still looked forward to Yang Tongzhi Haihan!"

A red-robed military attache who came in a hurry said.

"Gong Shen is polite!"

Yang Xin returned the salute and said.

This is Shen Yourong, deputy chief soldier of Shandong.

However, his official position is theoretically two levels higher than Yang Xin, the official title of the first general of the Ming Dynasty's current coastal defense is the commander of Shandong Bei Wei Du, or the commander of the Du Division, Yang Xin is the commander of the same knowledge, of course, his command is the commander of the Jinyi Guard, so don't say that Shen Yourong is the commander of the envoy, even if the governor sees it, he has to automatically be a head shorter. When Shen Yourong was still Yang Xin cleaning up Xu Hongru, he was hurriedly appointed by Wanli as the deputy commander-in-chief of Shandong and stationed in Dengzhou, originally he was also this year in history, but he was actually very old, and he could be called gray-haired, I have to say that there are too many veterans in the Ming Dynasty.

The two looked at each other awkwardly.

"It's a nice day!"

Yang Xin pointed to the dense clouds overhead.

"Well, the blue sea is full of tides, and the wind and clouds can indeed make people sigh at the magnificence of the waves!"

Shen Yourong said.

"Haha, Shen Gong is really literary and romantic, but Yang probably won't have time to enjoy this spectacular scenery with you, because the person I'm waiting for has already arrived."

Yang Xin said with a smile.

At this time, at the entrance of the water city in the distance, a centipede boat was slowly sailing in, and an old man in a green shirt standing at the bow of the ship was also looking at the wind and clouds above his head, and after Yang Xin said this, Shen Yourong's face also changed.
