"Dashuai." Xu Xingwei hugged his fists and said with a smile: "What do you have to see?" ”

"What do you think about the matter of Chikuzentun?"

Qiantun is where Li Youde is now, less than 100 miles away from the gate, and a considerable part of the grain and grass of the army is transported by Wang Zhi's fleet, so Wang Zhi is also extremely concerned.

"Qiantun is very close to the sea, and it is also a smooth plain from Guanmen, and in terms of transportation, it is suitable for both land and water. The disadvantage is that on the plains, in the face of enemy attacks, there is no danger to defend, so you can only desperately build a city. But the timing of the battle is not with me, but with the enemy. What is gratifying is that the main force of our army is very close to Qiantun, and the cavalry can arrive in half a day, and the infantry can also arrive in a day. If the captive cavalry wants to fight here, I think it will be the situation that Lord Li, the envoy and the head of the soldiers and horses of all walks of life, wants to see the most. ”

Wang Zhi agreed, nodded greatly, and said, "I can see it!" Lord Li just wants to fight a battle near the gate, this battle is best fought around the beginning of autumn, the Donghu people also have to farm, their cavalry must also have food and grass supplies, pull out hundreds of thousands of strong men to supply the army, and the Donghu people have to cry! If it drags on like this, it will be difficult for Donghu. In the end, it evolved into a situation of fighting near the gate, the Great Wei forbidden army fought with the other party in the plain near the mountains and the sea, and the Hu cavalry was sharp, but the Wei army formed a thick formation, and met the enemy in a dignified manner, even if it could not win a big victory, and it became a war of attrition, the Donghu people still couldn't stand it. As for building the old Jinzhou City, all the way to the Daling River, the princes in the court and the Son of Heaven are taken for granted, the enemy is riding on the side, how to build the city? Pushed to Jinzhou and Daling River, hundreds of miles away, the pressure on our army's logistics grain and grass will rise, and hundreds of thousands of troops will eat and wear grain, grass, arrows, arrows, weapons and medicinal materials every day, although the Great Wei national strength is strong, it is not easy to supply. ”

Xu Xingwei also showed an expression of admiration on his face, the old pirate in front of him was worthy of being a big man in the seven seas, and he had only been here for two or three months, and he really understood the general trend.

It's a pity that the princes of the DPRK and the Central Committee are estimated to be afraid that there are really not many people who can understand Li Guorui's intentions and playing style.

"Now back to yourself." Wang Zhi paused, looked at Xu Xingwei and said, "You don't have much to do here, do you want to go back to Xingying to find something new to do, or go back to Fuzhou?" ”

Xu Xingwei said with a calm gaze: "Xingying here, originally I planned to stay here to serve, I have two friends who are now serving in the army, and they are the same year jinshi of me and Mingda." But with my lack of foundation in the Northern Forbidden Army, and the fact that I have not led my troops in the army in the past few months, and I am called the commander of any battalion when I am about to fight, even if Lord Li is relieved, I myself will not dare to do such a thing......"

"I see." Wang Zhi said with appreciation: "Many people just dare to do things that should not be done, Zizhang, your decision is very right, it will be taboo to be in battle, the soldiers will not obey you, colleagues will also be excluded, and the boss does not dare to trust, it is not a good choice to go to the Northern Expeditionary Army at this time." So, are you going back to Fuzhou? ”

"With my father's connections in Fuzhou, it is not difficult to find a battalion command for me in the forbidden army." Xu Xingwei said with a smile: "But I don't plan to go this way, I don't want to hide it from the marshal, my family has three generations, what I want is to be able to be a marquis and return to the clan genealogy. ”

"You Xu clan disciples, I know." Wang Zhi smiled and said, "So, are you planning to go to the Eastern Domain?" ”

"Exactly." Xu Xingwei said: "The Eastern Domain has created everything, this war, Prince Mingdafeng, and the soldiers will be rewarded for their meritorious service, I missed this opportunity, but there is obviously a big war to be fought in the Eastern Domain, and it is not too late to go back at this time." ”

Xu Xingwei had already received Xu Zixian's letter, of course, when Xu Zixian wrote the letter, there was no news that Xu Zixian had been crowned a prince, and the messenger followed the envoy from the north to report the victory, and when he arrived in Dengzhou, the messenger took a boat to Pingdao, and then went to the fleet to find Xu Xingwei.

Xu Zixian was already sure that the future situation of the Eastern Domain would not be small, so he advised his friends not to delay in the north and to return to the Eastern Domain as soon as possible.

Of course, Xu Zixian could not explicitly say that the Northern Expedition would fail miserably, but Xu Xingwei's reason now is also the reason why Xu Zixian persuaded him, when he was about to fight, he was the commander of the first battalion in the army, and this opportunity would not be given to either Li Guorui or Yue Zhi.

Of course, Xu Xingwei was immediately moved, the great victory of the Eastern Domain had already made him uneasy, he felt that he had missed a good opportunity, and if he did not return, he was afraid that it would be difficult to integrate into the system of the Eastern Domain.

Xu Zixian also persuaded him in this way, the army of the Eastern Domain should be greatly expanded before the year, and Xu Xingwei could first be the chief officer of any department, responsible for administrative affairs, and familiar with many generals and soldiers, and then concurrently serve as the commander of the army, which is a logical thing. The whole process is nothing more than a few months, whether to go to any of the commanders of the Eastern Domain and the future military to command, or to Fuzhou to mix qualifications, is this still something to consider?

There will definitely be a larger-scale war in the Eastern Domain in the future, and Xu Xingwei understands Xu Zixian's ambitions and ambitions, as does himself. In addition, it is the general trend, and anyone who has a heart can see it.

Sure enough, Wang Zhi said: "Zizhang, you can also see it?" Liu Dan and Yan Qi are just Pu Xingfeng's pawns, they are fiasco, but Pu Xingfeng will definitely come back. Either wait for him to come, or go to him, although this big war can drag on for many years, but the longer it drags on, the more unfavorable the situation will be for you. Behind Pu Xingfeng is Manchu Thorn, Mughal, Yarkand, is the great country of the Heavenly Kingdom, the Pu family is also the great family of the Heavenly Party, its expansion on the sea, the Heavenly States have been giving him money, food and personnel supplies, his warships lost one and made up one, if it were not for the Heavenly people who were dragged by the Europa people over the years, Pu Xingfeng would have taken Malacca, destroyed the Three Buddhas and Lan Fang, Zhenla, Siam, Champong, and Annam. Delay it for a few more years, and when he destroys the Three Buddhas, there will be at least 1,000 warships and more than 100,000 or 200,000 personnel. Even the Great Wei is not easy to top, and the southeast and Guangnan places may not be able to keep it. ”

Xu Xingwei's face was solemn, and Wang Zhi's statement was also the biggest worry of the Eastern Domain, and even Fuzhou.

Pu Xingfeng is really coming, who can resist it?

Don't talk about the forbidden army of five armies, even if it is fifty armies, it may not be able to stop it.

The imperial court in Jiangnan and southeast Guangzhou, adding up to more than 20 armies, 50 armies is simply impossible, that to shake the foundation of the north, can not prevent Donghu, can not control the rogue, that will shake the country.

There is really such a situation, the north of the Great Wei is trapped, the internal bandits are raging, the southeast is trapped by pirates, and the ancestral temple of the Xu family is really unstable.

Xu Xingwei is a Miao descendant of the clan, of course, he doesn't want to see this day, so he just said to Wang Zhi at the moment: "A gentleman can only cope with the wind from all directions if he is self-reliant." ”

"Zhuangzai." Wang Zhidao: "The old man wants to see the day when you have a big break in the style. My generation is not done, Dawei has fallen from the head of the countries to being rampant by Pu Xingfeng, and it is also the incompetence of my generation, now I am old, it depends on you. ”

When Wang Zhi spoke, Lu Wenjun, Lu Sihai, Lu Qi and others all showed indignation.

Wang Zhi's retreat is related to his own situation, and it is also related to Pu Xingfeng's continuous compression of the living space of Wei pirates. Yan Qi, Liu Dan and others have always been supported by Pu Xingfeng, while Wang Zhi has been suppressed, beware, and sneak attacked. This is also the reason why Kang Tianqi is eager to cooperate with Nan'an Hou Mansion, because after Wang Zhi is attached, Pu Xingfeng's next target is of course Kang Tianqi. Although Pu Xingfeng has been using a cooperative attitude to recruit Kang Tianqi, but Kang Tianqi's pressure is also increasing day by day, whether it is cooperation or an enemy, Pu Xingfeng will not be so persecuted now, but this is a matter of time.

Deng Wenjun, Lu Sihai and others are well aware of Pu Xingfeng's methods.

Lu Sihai said: "When you start a war with Pu Xingfeng in the future, count me in." ”

Deng Wenjun also said: "You can also count me as one, if such people get involved in the Great Wei, my Huaxia will be doomed." ”

In fact, these two people have a good personal relationship, and Wang Zhi has always reconciled, but they always have their own opinions on external behavior, and it is difficult to agree.

Wang Zhi nodded, and was about to speak, but there was a shouting sound at the door.

The crowd was silent, and after a while, a drum was beaten, and then a group of sergeants appeared at the gate, carrying something like a wooden cage in their hands, and then they hung the cage at the gate, and another drum sounded.

"Hang your head in public." Some pirates are experts and shouted, "Is it Yan Qi's head here?" ”

"Probably so."

"Who has seen him?"

"Lao Tzu has seen it, this guy is short and strong, black, with a round face, small eyes, a big beard, and his eyes are cold and cold, just like a black snake, damn it, he also has today."

"We Wei people are pirates, we don't necessarily have to kill people when we grab something, Yan Qi robs other people and has a way to live, when he encounters our merchant ships of Great Wei, he must rob the ship and kill people, damn it, I have long thought about when he has today, this retribution will come really fast!"

In the midst of the hustle and bustle, Wang Zhi ordered a few pirates who had seen Yan Qi to row a small boat ashore and go to identify it.

After a while, a few pirates who went there turned back with a smile, and after getting on the boat, they said: "Dashuai, it's Yan Qi, it's right, his eyes are still round, but the smell is terrible, and it's almost rotten." ”

Yan Qi's head was wrapped with ice cubes on the way to prevent early decay, but it was inevitable to be exposed to the scorching sun when the level was suspended, and it had been more than ten days, of course, it was about to rot.

The pirates on the flagship were all elated, and they really lacked a good impression of the two thieves in Luzon, these Wei people-dominated Wang Zhi's subordinates, and even wished that this guy would die early.

Yan Qi was afraid that it would be difficult for him to imagine that he, a Luzon thief, would one day hang his head in the northeastern gate of Great Wei, even if he had a nightmare, it would really happen.

Who would dare to believe and imagine that such a pirate king on the surface of the South Seas would have his head hanging above the city gate of Shanhaiguan?

"I'm happy too." Wang Zhi finally said to Xu Xingwei: "I hope that before I die, I can see that Pu Xingfeng's head can also hang here." ”

"Mingda said it." Xu Xingwei said: "If one day Pu Xingfeng is called the head, his head must be hung at the head of Zhangzhou City!" ”

……

"Unbelievable, unimaginable, haha, hahaha." Chen Zhengzhi almost couldn't stop laughing, so he laughed wildly and went all the way into the back house.

The weather is hot, many women and maids are dressed very thinly, Chen Zhengzhi, a man who has become a relative, lives in his own courtyard, and the back house of the Hou Mansion has rarely come over.

Many little maids blushed and avoided, and Chen Zhengzhi didn't care, Chen Wen? The residence is full of flowers and trees, and there is a fragrance of plants and flowers throughout the courtyard.

Chen Zhengzhi shouted outside the little sister's house: "Little sister, little sister, hurry out, father, second uncle, third uncle, sixth uncle, ninth uncle, they are all here, and they are going to give you a gift." ”

"Big brother." Chen Wen? Walking out, Xiumei's face was a little disgusted, and she said, "You're about to become a father, why are you so unstable, what are you talking nonsense." ”

Chen Zhengzhi didn't answer first, looked at his sister, and said with a smile: "Are you embroidering a quilt?" ”

Chen Wen? His face was slightly red, and he said, "You know that you still ask?" ”

When a woman gets married, if there is Aunt Weng, the customs here in Fuzhou, the bride passes the door, and on the first morning, as usual, she should get up early to say hello to Aunt Weng, and then the first day is a test of cooking skills, starting with morning tea and breakfast, if the bride does a good job, of course she will be praised, and Aunt Weng will be very happy.

If you don't do it well, although it is inconvenient to embarrass the bride, it is inevitable to meet a mother-in-law who is not so open-minded, and it is inevitable to show the bride.

This is a feudal society, the era of not honoring parents, as long as the parents complain, according to the law, the son and daughter-in-law can be hanged. When encountering a mother-in-law who is difficult to serve, no matter how good she is in internal affairs, the life of the new daughter-in-law will be very difficult.

In addition to cooking, female celebrities are also an important assessment target. Under the small-scale peasant economy, men have to do the physical heavy work in the fields, cooking and washing clothes, which is a woman's essential work, in addition to taking care of the vegetable fields, planting vegetables and raising chickens, and it is also the work of the daughter-in-law. There are also soles, shoemaking, cutting window flowers, pasting window paper, and of course, sewing bedding, spinning clothes for the family, making good, exquisite, beautiful, sturdy, the family's men, women and children wear out to be spiritually decent, and the daughter-in-law of this family is praised by everyone.

If it is not done well, the stitches are sparse, and the cutting is messy, then it will be laughed at.

Chen Wen? Of course, you don't have to do housework in person, in addition to the rich dowry in the Changwen Marquis Mansion, at least a dozen servants and personal maids followed to the Eastern Domain, and the Eastern Domain also has a lot of servants to serve, but the female red is the most basic life skill of a woman, especially the nobles in Fuzhou to marry a girl, other things can be done on behalf of the bride, and the bedding at the time of the wedding is still best done by the bride herself.

"Don't talk about that." Chen Zhengzhi knew that his little sister was shy, although he was extremely satisfied with Xu Zixian and had a deep friendship, but when he saw that his youngest sister was about to get married, Chen Zhengzhi's heart was also sour, and his smile was a little more slight. But he soon became happy again, and said with a smile: "If you don't know, I'll sell you a pass, come with me first, father, they are really waiting for you." ”

"What's going on in the Eastern Domain?" Chen Wen? My heart sank, and I was a little worried.

"Don't worry." Chen Zhengzhi smiled: "You can't see that it's a good thing? People say that my little sister is beautiful and wise, and I think most of the women who are going to marry have become stupid. ”

"You're stupid." Chen Wen? My heart was wide and I was happy, but I still gave my brother a blank look.

……

Chen Dujing almost forced himself to sit, otherwise he would be like that unpromising son, shouting when he heard the news, it was simply unseemly!

However, the many brothers and nephews in front of him, one by one, actually couldn't hold it, Li Mingyu and Xu Zixian had a good relationship, and they had known each other for a long time.

Yang Fu, Chen Zhengzhi, these young people are shouting happily.

Chen Duguang, Chen Duming, Chen Duli, and Chen Duzhong of the older generation barely suppressed their overly excited emotions, and stood together in groups to discuss, and no one could keep calm and sit peacefully in the chair.

Looking at it this way, Chen Dujing is still the patriarch of the big family after all, and he can barely sit still, although according to his actual thoughts, he also wants to stand up and laugh loudly.

After all, although Xu Zixian's Nan'an Houfu rose quickly, although the power was strong, and the prospects were promising, after all, the foundation was too weak, and I am afraid that it would not last.

How loud the opposition was then, how loud is the ridicule now.

The people who were lifted were not angry, they still had a smile on their faces, and as soon as the news from the Jingshi came back, the Changwen Marquis Mansion was full of jubilation.

Nan'an Hou Xu Zi first became the prince, served as the deputy governor and many other official positions, it is conceivable that the Nan'an Hou Mansion, now called the Zhongshan Palace, will snatch more interests and gain greater power on Fujian Road.

With King Zhao's talent, prestige, and virtue, even if Xu Zixian was just an ordinary prince, he could divide the world with King Zhao.

Now that Xu Zixian has become the king of Zhongshan, how is King Zhao his opponent?

The Son of Heaven does not give Wang Jue the name of beauty, and gives the word Zhongshan down, it is nothing more than a small means to disgust people, and no one will take it seriously, can a king name affect the future of Fujian Road, can King Zhao really annex Zhongshan?

Just kidding!

"Zhongshan Palace," Chen Duguang said seriously: "The old man feels that he will definitely overpower Zhao Wangfu, so there is no need to talk about it." Maybe a few years later, the Son of Heaven will have to move King Zhao to Jiangling to retire, anyway, he can't do anything decent, stay in Fuzhou, and embarrass the Son of Heaven for nothing. The old man also has a feeling that the prestige and power of the King of Zhongshan will surpass that of the original King of Qi, although there is no evidence, but the old man has this feeling, but he doesn't know why. ”

There are many people in the flower hall, and many people agree with Chen Duguang's analysis, but like Chen Duguang, they all have a vague idea, they can't be sure, and there is no way to be sure.

Chen Duzhong smiled bitterly: "I also agree with what the third brother said, but I can't say it. Maybe it's called, knowing what it is, but not knowing why? ”
