At noon the next day, when Li Hongyu and Yang Li'er returned to the adjacent residence with a smile, there was already a person waiting at home. Ethereal.2.

"Mr. Lee." There are not many people who can know where Li Hongyu lives, and the one who was drinking tea in the living room was a middle-aged man with a beard.

"Your Excellency is ......" Seeing this, Li Hongyu returned the salute, glanced at his beard and asked quietly, now there are very few people who know where he lives, and the other party seems to have some ability to find here.

"In Xia Nai Youlan's uncle, surnamed Zhang, named Shuheng, took the liberty to visit and hope to forgive his sins." The bearded middle-aged man arched his hand to Li Hongyu again when he heard this, and then reported to himself.

"It turned out to be Brother Zhang, please!"

Li Hongyu was slightly stunned when he heard this, but he didn't expect that the middle-aged man with a beard turned out to be Youlan's uncle, so he stretched out his hand to signal him to sit down, and then asked suspiciously, "I don't know what Brother Zhang is here for this time?" ”

"Mr. Li's talent, after last night's Oiran Conference has been famous all over the world, I am deeply admired, Mr. Don't talk about Jiangnan, I'm afraid there is no one in the world who can match."

Zhang Shuheng smiled slightly when he heard this, first praised Li Hongyu, and then said in a different way, "Ran Yuma invited the Oiran Conference Sanding Jia to perform in Shanghai County a month later, to comfort the scholars of Shanghai County and the officials of the Customs Department. ”

"Miss Youlan is a peerless beauty, but unfortunately the luck is a little bad, otherwise she would have been the winner of last night's Oiran Conference." Li Hongyu naturally knew about this, and after a deep sigh, he said, "Since Miss Youlan can afford to be in the middle, then I am willing to help Miss Youlan." ”

It is naturally Li Hongyu's idea to let the three dingjia of the Oiran Conference perform in Shanghai County, firstly, to reward the officials who are busy with official business, and secondly, to find an opportunity to inspect Shanghai County, even if Youlan does not let Zhang Shuheng come to him, then Liu Hongmei will definitely invite him to go with him, and if there is anything at that time, it will be good to take care of it.

"Thank you so much, sir."

Zhang Shuheng was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly arched his hand to Li Hongyu, then pushed a red brocade box placed on the table in front of him in front of Li Hongyu, and said with a smile, "This is a little little bit of caution from Miss Youlan, and I hope Mr. Li can accept it with a smile." ”

Li Hongyu knew that this was the reward that Zhang Shuheng had prepared for him, and when he heard this, he picked up the brocade box, opened it and was immediately slightly stunned, inside it was a pigeon's egg-sized, orange-red, and almost a round ball.

Seeing that Li Hongyu was attracted by the orange-red bead in the brocade box, the corners of Zhang Shuheng's mouth couldn't help but flash a smug look, I am afraid that with Li Hongyu's experience, he didn't know what this orange-red bead was.

"Brother Zhang, this Bright Moon Bead is of high quality, extremely rare, and a priceless treasure, which cannot be received below."

However, Li Hongyu's next reaction surprised Zhang Shuheng, and after closing the brocade box, he pushed it back to him, and broke the origin of the orange-red bead in the brocade box.

"Mr. Li, it is precisely this thing that is rare and rare, so only a talented person like Mr. deserves to have it, and falling into the hands of those ordinary people will destroy the heavens!"

Zhang Shuheng's face showed a look of surprise, surprised by Li Hongyu's rich experience, but he didn't expect the young Li Hongyu to recognize this orange-red bead as the Mingyue Pearl, and then pushed the brocade box to Li Hongyu.

In Zhang Shuheng's view, since Li Hongyu knows the Mingyue Pearl, he should naturally know that this orange-red bead is the best in the Mingyue Pearl, which can be described as priceless and priceless, so this shirk is just polite.

The bright moon pearl is commonly known as the "night pearl", the night pearl is a rare gemstone, the ancient name is "with the pearl", "hanging pearl", "hanging thorn" and "bright moon pearl", etc., deeply loved by dignitaries.

It is rumored that when the Empress Dowager Cixi was buried, she contained a priceless night pearl in her mouth, and the nine night pearls worn on her phoenix crown were also very famous, which shows that the night pearl had an extremely noble status in ancient times.

"A gentleman doesn't take the favor of others!"

Seeing this, Li Hongyu smiled slightly, pushed the brocade box back again, and said to Zhang Shuheng in a deep voice, "Brother Zhang, it is a cooperative relationship with Miss Youlan in Xia, and it is already the best gift for Miss Youlan to sing the song in Xia, Miss Youlan doesn't need to be like this." ”

"Sir, I have been taught."

Zhang Shuheng realized at this time that Li Hongyu was not polite but really didn't want to accept the night pearl, and suddenly looked at Li Hongyu differently in his heart, but he didn't expect Li Hongyu not to be moved by such a huge temptation, so Zhengse arched his hand to Li Hongyu and said, you must know that there are few people in the world who love fame and fortune.

Because it was the first time they met, Zhang Shuheng did not stay for a long time, and after Li Hongyu promised to help, he got up and said goodbye after greeting for a while, so as not to disturb Li Hongyu's rest, and hurried back to tell Youlan the good news.

"My lord, I came here today." Waiting for Zhang Shuheng to leave, Ma Xianglin handed over a sealed envelope to Li Hongyu, which was sent to him by Qin Yue in the capital, so that he could grasp the situation and changes in the capital in time.

"Alas!" After reading the contents of the letter, Li Hongyu couldn't help but sigh secretly, and said to Ma Xianglin with a somewhat gloomy expression, "Liaodong is in danger!" ”

"My lord, what happened?" Seeing Li Hongyu's gloomy face, Ma Xianglin couldn't help but ask in surprise, he had never seen Li Hongyu look so lost, thinking that there was something important in the capital.

"Lord Xiong of Liaodong Jinglu was impeached, returned to Beijing to report on his work, and the governor of Lord Yuan acted as the post of Jinglu, with the character of Lord Yuan and the current atmosphere in the capital, Lord Yuan will give up Xiong Jinglue's 'cage strategy' and fight a decisive battle with Jiannu."

Li Hongyu put the letter in his hand on the candle flame and burned it, and said with a solemn expression, "Jiannu and Mongolia are now in a famine, and Lord Yuan's words to send troops at this time are in the hands of Jiannu, and Jiannu is fierce and cunning, it is not appropriate to engage in short-handed combat, otherwise the consequences are unpredictable." ”

"Lord Xiong" naturally refers to Xiong Tingbi, who is the Liaodong Jinglu appointed by the Wanli Emperor, and the "Lord Yuan" is promoted to the governor of Liaodong by the right Yushi, replacing Yuan Yingtai, the original governor Zhou Yongchun.

It is worth mentioning that Yuan Yingtai was a member of the Donglin Party, and went to Liaodong to serve as governor in May of the first year of the Apocalypse, and became the acting Liaodong Economic Strategy after Xiong Tingbi returned to Beijing in August.

"Why did the emperor remove Lord Xiong?" Ma Xianglin's face immediately changed when he heard this, he had fought with Houjin soldiers in Liaodong, and realized the seriousness of the situation, so he couldn't help but ask suspiciously, could it be that Xiong Tingbi had any major negligence in Liaodong?

"The emperor has not yet weakened the crown, and the major military and political affairs are decided by the auxiliary ministers around him, and those auxiliary ministers are going to remove Lord Xiong, and the emperor just made a holy decree according to the wishes of the auxiliary ministers."

A helpless wry smile flashed at the corner of Li Hongyu's mouth, and he frowned and said to Ma Xianglin, "Lord Xiong was born at the wrong time, if my Ming treasury is full, then Liaodong will be impregnable by its guards!"

Yuan Yingtai, who was born in the Donglin Party, first replaced Zhou Yongchun, the leader of the Qi Party, as the governor of Liaodong, and quickly replaced Xiong Tingbi, who was born in the Chu Party, as the governor of Liaodong.

Obviously, the Donglin Party was in an advantageous position in these two contests, and successively took out Zhou Yongchun and Xiong Tingbi, making Liaodong the world of the Donglin Party.

In Li Hongyu's view, the Liaodong defense line built by Xiong Tingbi is certainly a good way to deal with Houjin, but it cannot be implemented for a long time.

The reason is very simple, the imperial court has no money, after all, it is not as large as the Chongzhen period, which makes it impossible for the imperial court to provide Xiong Tingbi with military salaries for a long time.

This situation determines that the war in Liaodong will either be decided, or Xiong Tingbi will be able to raise his own military expenses by opening up sources and reducing expenditure, otherwise he will inevitably be impeached by officials in the court for "fear of war".

Although he experienced the defeat of the Battle of Sarhu, the pride of the "Heavenly Empire" in the bones of the Ming officials has not changed at all, and Li Hongyu later won the Battle of Tieling, forcing Nurhachi to move the capital in order to preserve his strength, which made those civil and military officials in the court think that Houjin was vulnerable.

It is this mentality of underestimating the enemy, coupled with the fact that the imperial court cannot bear the "heavy burden" of Liaodong's military spending, as well as the party struggle in the court, which is destined to make Xiong Tingbi unable to stay in Liaodong for a long time.

"My lord, what will become of the situation in Liaodong?" Seeing Li Hongyu's worried look, Ma Xianglin couldn't help but ask with concern.

"Liaodong will be lost, retreat to Liaoxi!" Li Hongyu pondered for a while, and slowly said eight words in his mouth, Liaoyang and Shenyang are a stone's throw away from Houjin, once the Ming army in Liaodong is defeated, then Liaoyang and Shenyang will definitely be lost.

If Liaoyang and Shenyang are lost, then there will be no important military town to defend between Liaodong and Liaoxi except for a Liao River, which will be very unfavorable to the Ming army.

"My lord, did you expect that Liaodong would miss, so you transferred my mother and them back to Sichuan?"

Ma Xianglin was stunned when he heard this, he never thought that the dignified Daming would be forced to retreat to Liaoxi by the little Houjin, but Li Hongyu's serious expression was not like a joke, and then he realized something, and couldn't help but ask Li Hongyu in surprise.

It turned out that Li Hongyu not only took Ma Xianglin with him, but also transferred Qin Liangyu and the white pole soldiers back to their hometown in Shizhu, Sichuan, in the name of maintaining local law and order in Sichuan at the beginning of the year, so as not to waste the white pole soldiers who were accustomed to fighting in the southwest mountains on the battlefield in eastern Liaodong and be of great use in Sichuan in the future.

Not only that, Li Hongyu also took out a part of the new army's quartermaster to the white pole soldiers, who will be used as a vital surprise soldier in his hands in the southwest in the future.

It is precisely because of this that Li Hongyu kept Ma Xianglin by his side and cultivated it carefully, as the future stone pillar toast, Ma Xianglin is the future master of the white pole soldiers.

"That's the only thing the officer can do right now." Li Hongyu didn't deny it, sighed and said, "It's a pity that those soldiers in Liaodong have to consume the little foundation they have saved up with great difficulty!" ”

Li Honggao's mood became depressed, the year before last when he was in Liaodong, he reorganized the army in Liaodong, and the army took on a new look, if it was used to defend the city, it would be absolutely difficult for Houjin to leap over the thunder pool, I was afraid that those soldiers would become cannon fodder in the field battlefield, and the gains would outweigh the losses, you must know that those soldiers can be described as the best soldiers in the Ming Dynasty.

Ma Xianglin also became silent when he heard this, he is now absolutely convinced of Li Hongyu, since Li Hongyu is not optimistic about the future war in Liaodong, then the war situation in Liaodong is not good.
