The deputy commander of the forbidden army and the marquis of Du Yu are all three products, the control system is the fourth product, the deputy capital control system is from the fourth grade, to the battalion command system is also the same level as the defense envoy is the fifth grade and from the fifth grade, the head of the forbidden army, are all seven-grade military positions, and the deputy heads are all eight or from the eighth grade, some of the old qualified sentry commanders are also the ninth or nine-rank officers of the Garang guard, and even some team officers have been on errands for a long time, and they can also add the nine-rank military posts, and the deputy heads of the Xiang army do not necessarily have this qualification.

King Qi said some things in the Xiang army, and finally said to Xu Zixian: "They all have a belly of resentment, of course they don't dare to attack in front of me, without me, they can't even get everything now." For you, you are a clan, a prince, these martial artists are born to look at you unpleasantly, your father has fought a defeated battle, and he is a man in the army, what is the opinion of the clan that defeated the battle, you should know. In addition, the career is not smooth, and it is certain to be dissatisfied, but fortunately, I have already written to them, and of course I will carry out your military orders, and if you are a little disrespectful in your attitude, I hope you will look at my face and take a look. ”

Xu Zixian realized that King Qi did not mean to use these two people for him, of course, King Qi must have said hello, but asked himself not to be too embarrassed by the two rough and straight officers of the Xiang Army.

King Qi seemed to see Xu Zixian's thoughts, and said with a smile: "You have come to this position, Nan'an Hou, the champion general, in charge of Fujian Road and Horse political affairs, Tongzhi Qizhou, Qizhou Defense Envoy, Fuzhou Nan'an Regiment Training Guard and Capture Envoy, if you don't be angry for a while, you will behead the two unsubdued Xiang Army, who can still find you trouble for this little thing?" I'll tell you today, I'm afraid that those two fools don't know what to do or retreat, and they will really anger you, and it will be troublesome when the time comes. ”

Xu Zixian said with a smile: "The imperial court doesn't give me the addition of the general of the Zhenguo, the general of the auxiliary country, or the captain, so I can give a Taining military envoy, it is really secretive, and it is not happy." ”

When King Qi heard this, he pointed at Xu Zixian and laughed.

Indeed, according to Xu Zixian's rank, real position, general title, it is also very appropriate to add a festival from the second grade, the court refused to give him a festival, and he refused to give him a false position, in the final analysis, it was because of his weak heart.

Xu Zixian laughed for a while, and said to the king: "Li Xingwu, Dong Ruixiang, the little nephew remembers, please rest assured, Your Highness." ”

"Both of them are battle-hardened warriors." King Qi said with emotion: "Like Da Ge and Xiao Ge, they are all good hands that I brought out." I brought a lot of people back then, and now most of them are in the army everywhere, in fact, with their ability, even if they go to the forbidden army, they are a good hand, but it's a pity. ”

"The little nephew will try to use them as well as possible." Xu Zixian said with a serious expression: "It is a pity that the pearl is covered with dust, if you can wipe off the dust and make it shine again, why not?" But there is a word first, this generation has to knock it. ”

That is to say, Xu Zixian is a person who aligns with the king's lineage, and he can use it in a trustworthy way, and he will not have any gateway views, as long as he is indeed a capable talent, Xu Zixian will not only use it, but also use it greatly, so as not to make the pearl dusty.

But this generation has been in the Xiangjun for a long time, and it is contaminated with habits, and if you don't beat it, I'm afraid it won't be easy to use.

"Okay, okay." King Qi smiled and said: "Recently, there have been floating discussions in the city, I have written about various newspapers, military and political affairs, before the implementation, the newspapers are discussing without permission, affecting public opinion, this trip is Meng Lang." If adultery is discovered, it will be severely punished. Mingda is very relieved that you are not moved by the floating discussion. As for King Zhao's side, I plan to invite him to the banquet, if this person can follow the advice, of course, it is the best, if not, to be honest, we can't do anything. ”

King Qi showed a helpless look on his face, King Zhao's suppression of Nan'an Hou's line is continuous, and various tricks emerge in endlessly, there are some tricks, such as public opinion attacks, which seem to be no big problem, but if it continues, after the time ferments and the military and political system balances and suppresses, it will form a situation that is quite unfavorable to Xu Zixian.

This is the battle for the storage position, the competition of the five branches after Wenzong, there is no warmth, there is no concession, the matter of the Beijing Division, it was originally King Zhao's intention to completely eradicate the two veins of Wu Guogong and Nan'an Hou, so that the first line of King Zhao firmly holds the storage position, even if the Son of Heaven has no son, the status of the first line of King Zhao will not be threatened.

But Wu Guogong Xu Zicheng, a fool, was given to die, Xu Zixian, a greater threat, not only survived, but also increased the official and returned to Fuzhou, it is conceivable that King Zhao's attack will not stop, but will only intensify.

"With me, he has no way to give you a chaotic life, or cut your money and food, or transfer your subordinates, and there is no way to ......cancel the Nan'an regimental training," Qi Wang said: "This small method of chaos is only disgusting, and if you can persuade it, you can persuade it, and if you can't persuade it, you can only see the trick." ”

"The little nephew has nothing to do." Xu Zixian replied: "I will go to Qizhou tomorrow to take office, some small means, and the little nephew will not take it to heart." ”

That is to say, Xu Zixian did not have much hope for persuading King Zhao.

"Before you go to Qizhou, you'd better meet Lin Douyao." King Qi said meaningfully: "Some of the previous skirmishes were already in the past for Lin Douyao, and he deliberately made a raw appearance before, so he didn't have to take them too seriously." ”

Xu Zixian realized, it seems that politicians have changed their positions quite quickly, and he feels that he and Lin Douyao have torn their faces and have always had conflicts, so after returning to Fuzhou, he didn't consider reconciling with Lin Douyao at all, and this person actually greeted him through King Qi, it seems that he is too naïve and naïve.

"You might as well be prepared for the autumn wind." King Qi half-jokingly, half-seriously said: "The upper, middle and lower three villages in Qizhou are all van troops, with incomplete armor and shoddy weapons, you want a strong army, the first thing is to get money, food and ordnance, although your own family is rich, but the money of the court does not need to be in such a serious matter, is it a waste for those useless people?" ”

King Qi's words are also full of helplessness, Fujian Road is tens of millions of years old, but the defense of his side is not satisfied, the water division can not be built, the Xiang army is old and decaying, the weapons are shoddy, the soldiers are not enough money and food, of course, there is no will to fight, and there is no training, such soldiers and horses, it is too difficult to garrison and defend, and it is not necessary to mention enterprising to fight.

The Xiang army has no money, and the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion has no money and grain, a small amount of financial surplus and local money and grain, and the management of the arsenal is the responsibility of Changping Envoy, and Changping Envoy is responsible for pacifying the envoy, King Qi's meaning is very simple, if Xu Zi wants to see Lin Douyao first, he might as well find a way to knock some benefits, otherwise it will be useless.

"Little nephew understood." Talking about this topic, Xu Zixian was very energetic, and immediately thanked the King of Qi and said: "I am worried about the lack of a large number of ordnance and weapons, and this time I can point to a clear way." ”

……

Xu Zixian did not go to see Lin Douyao that day, nor did he go to visit others, but put Chen Zuocai and others who followed him in one place and counted them for most of the night.

At dawn the next day, Xu Zi first rushed to appease the envoy Si Yamen to visit Lin Douyao, but it was not the first hour of the hour, although the sky was bright, the sun was still weak, and Lin Douyao was already sitting on the council.

As soon as the post was handed in, Lin Douyao immediately ordered the middle door to be opened, and he himself went to the gate to greet him.

Lin Douyao is still the same as before, shrewd and capable, full of momentum, because he is a northerner, the purple official robe is close to the body, and the seven things are neatly hung around his waist.

Han Zhong himself is very important, and his henchmen are also in a similar style.

Lin Douyao is the second grade, Xu Zi is from the second grade, the two are about the same in rank, and Xu Zixian is not an empty prince, he bears heavy responsibilities, Lin Douyao opened the middle door to greet a little excessive, but from the perspective of etiquette, there is nothing wrong.

The two saluted each other, the difference was that Xu Zi had to bow first, and Lin Douyao also bowed.

When I entered the main hall and sat down across from each other, the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

Lin Douyao spoke first: "This official has some misunderstandings about Nan Anhou before, and there have been conflicts and disputes, and I hope that Nan Anhou will not take it to heart. ”

Xu Zixian said solemnly: "Some small things, but they are just out of misunderstanding, what can I say?" Fujian Road has been calm for so many years, only one Chen Yutai jumped off the beam clown to make waves, if you can get rid of this person, appease the Son of Heaven, the two mansions, and the people of Fujian Road can be worthy of the gentry and people, wouldn't it be a beautiful thing? ”

Lin Douyao nodded slightly, knowing that the price of this young clan in front of him was like this.

In the past, Lin Douyao himself was a little jealous of Xu Zixian and suppressed him, and most of the later things were because of King Zhao and Pu Shougao.

There is no deep hatred on both sides, speaking of which, Lin Douyao has been suffering, his henchmen Han Bingzhong and Luo Zhigong have been forced to go to prison, but the first to strike is to take care of the loss, and now Xu Zi's first offer is to help him get Chen Yutai, and other things can be ignored.

Of course, Lin Douyao wishes that the Pingqi Mountain Bandits, although the number of this group of pirates is not large, but it has always been a disaster for Fujian, and the two governments and the Son of Heaven are also registered existences, the Pingqi Mountain Bandits are not ordinary mountain bandits who exterminate more than 2,000 people, and if it is a real field meritorious achievement at the level of the forbidden army, not only Xu Zixian will be rewarded for this, but Lin Douyao will also be very beneficial.

may not be able to enter the Beijing Division, but the previous loss of points can be regarded as a recovery, and if there is a chance in the future, there is still a lot to be done.

"If Nan'an Hou has something to help his officials, he will definitely do his best to help the envoy to appease."

Lin Douyao is willing to repair his relationship with Xu Zixian, and the reasons for this are quite complicated...... The most important thing is not the short-term alliance between Xu Zixian and Han Zhong, but Lin Douyao has discovered that Pu Shougao is unreliable, and this Tianfang man has no overall situation in his heart at all, and only cares about his family's interests and ignores the overall situation.

King Zhao is the same, in order to keep the storage position of King Zhao's mansion, King Zhao will do everything, if this person is in charge of the overall situation of Fujian Road, it will be harmful to Lin Douyao and the entire Fujian Road.

For Lin Douyao, his appeasement has been more embarrassing, compared to the rest of the roads, the situation in Fujian is more complicated, he always has the end of losing power, and even being driven away or even imprisoned.

In contrast, King Qi pays more attention to the stability of Fujian Road, Xu Zi was first held out by King Qi, and there is Xu Xiashang, the right minister who is not a threat to Han Zhong, there is no fundamental contradiction between the two sides, on the contrary, in terms of King Zhao, Pu Shougao, and the overall situation of stabilizing Fujian Road, they are all objects that can be cooperated.

In this way, Lin Douyao's willingness to cooperate with Xu Zixian is naturally reasonable.

It's just that this kind of cooperation also has scope and limitations, and Lin Douyao will not go all out, the important thing is to retain his strength...... His words are already obvious.
