"Your Excellency!" There was a call from the servant at the door, Zhou Jinfeng was sitting at the table and making a painful appearance, and he couldn't help but quickly rub his temples that were a little painful, and turned his head to look at the person who spoke. Seeing Zhou Jinfeng turn his head, the official who spoke hurriedly said, "The servant sent a messenger over and said that there was something important to discuss with the adults. ”

Zhou Jinfeng was overjoyed for no reason, he didn't know what he liked himself, but he just had a feeling that he had done everything, and hurriedly said, "Please enter the flower hall!" I'll go over here! While talking, Zhou Jinfeng beckoned the maid serving next to him to quickly change his official uniform. Although it is not necessarily the real man, but the person who can be sent as a messenger must also be the high-ranking and powerful "section chief" in the fake hair, although he said that he does not know the grade of the other party, but with the other party's deep trust in the real man, how should he give enough face, so he decided to wear an official uniform to meet the guests, at least to show his respect.

While he was wearing his clothes, his heart was full of thoughts, what was the purpose of the envoy of the bearded people? Are you willing to go to Shanxi? Still unwilling? If you don't want to, it's once and for all, but what if you want to? As the saying goes, no profit is not early, but people are all real people who are full of business, no matter what they do, they must give priority to interests. This group of people is not short of money at all, they should not go to Shanxi to quell the rebellion for a mere amount of silver, even if they are really full and want to send troops to earn silver, it is also something that the government can't afford, whether it is An Yun's official mansion or Beihai Governor's Yamen, they will definitely not be able to pay such a sum of money, and the people's "land lease fees" to An Yun every year alone exceed three thousand taels, and the master of Beihai County can't even make up three thousand taels of silver, don't think about the back. So what kind of benefits do the people need? The truce agreement negotiated between the Yan and Li Xijue at that time suddenly popped up in his mind, and the people wanted manpower and land use rights, and they only relied on these two things to turn the primeval forest and barren beach next to the beacon tower into the Dongfang Port that he felt sleepless at night today. In this way, there is only one thing he can think of, then the people must want more land use rights, or directly have land ownership.

Thinking of this, Zhou Jinfeng's chest couldn't help but tighten suddenly, and he felt that his breath was a little unsmooth, so he quickly patted his chest, and the maid next to him was startled, and hurriedly patted his back several times with his little hand, which made Zhou Jinfeng feel at ease.

At that moment just now, a miserable scene suddenly appeared in Zhou Jinfeng's mind, he seemed to see that he was tied up with five flowers, and the black gauze hat on his head had been taken off, and he was kneeling on top of the Golden Palace, and the hundred officials around him were angry one by one, and the emperor stared at him angrily, and then shouted, "Push out the noon gate and behead the public, and the whole family will be exiled to the army!" He couldn't help but be covered in a cold sweat at the moment, and then he suddenly remembered that all the land use rights of the people had actually broken through the bottom line of the Wu Dynasty. At this moment, the Dongfang Port occupied by the people has long been like an enemy country, whether it is An Yun or Annan, the people cannot enter at will, and must go through a series of "health checks" and apply for the so-called border pass to enter. At that time, the armistice agreement said that the number of people could be less than 600 people, but now it seems that the number of this "village warriors" has already exceeded 1,000, and all of them are equipped not only with the kind of guns that can fight quickly and accurately, but also with all kinds of large equipment that can go to the sky and the sea. Just kidding, where is this called Xiangyong? Even the most elite Imperial Forest Army of the Wu Dynasty is far inferior to this "Xiangyong"!

When this group of people first came, it was already an unstoppable trend, and at this time, there were already so many village warriors to help, and there were large artillery ships, which had already become a big tail, not to mention the strength of An Yun Annan, even if it was a gathering of troops from Liangguang Yunnan plus native soldiers, it may not be able to get this group of people. Now if you investigate it, let the thieves flow freely, and the hat of raising the self-respect of the Kou has long been buckled on the head, not to mention that there are still tens of thousands of taels of silver in his private treasury, which are things that cannot be washed away, so if you want to continue to live well, please the people and don't let them go around to alarm the court, but also find a way to instigate these people to go to Shanxi to quell the chaos, and it is absolutely no problem to defeat the Liukou with their strength, so that they will definitely be able to make meritorious contributions and attract the attention of the emperor, and they can find a way to help them wash their hands and "raise their own respect" The behavior is washed into worrying about the country and the people, and the people are washed into loyal and patriotic warriors, so as to ensure their own safety, and maybe they can make meritorious contributions to their own promotion. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but take a deep breath, and secretly made up his mind in his heart that no matter what kind of request the beard people made, he would definitely agree to it, and no matter what, he would instigate the beard people to go north to quell the rebellion.

"Lord Zhou is here," As the call sounded, the people sitting in the flower hall hurriedly stood up, and in the direction of the door, Zhou Jinfeng solemnly walked in from the door wearing an official robe. There are three people standing in the room, all of them are dressed up in the same way, but they should all look like wigs, he Zhou Jinfeng has dealt with many real people, and his speech and demeanor are full of indescribable confidence and solemnity, which are not available to those homeless people or short-term overalls that are stored locally, even if there are scholars here, although there is an essential difference between the gestures and those dirt buns, but it still doesn't seem to be as good as the real ones.

Enmity with the Koko side Sun Qiu is a lone enemy

"Hello Lord Zhou, I'm ......" The first person bowed to Zhou Jinfeng and said a long list of words, although Zhou Jinfeng knew that he was introducing himself in official dialect to what department and what position he came from, but he couldn't understand a word, of course he knew that he couldn't show cowardice now, so he pretended to understand and nodded to the man with a smile, "May I also ask Mr. Honorable name?" ”

"Your surname is Su Mingning." The man said respectfully. Suning is a fugitive farmer from a place in Anhui, his ancestors were in Fengyang, and he originally had a bit of a family background, so he also let him study in his early years, but due to a drought and a blizzard a few years ago, there was a flood the next year, which washed away the harvest of more than 200 acres of his family's land. Originally, there were still thousands of catties of grain in his family's granary, but because it was soaked in the flood and there was no time to deal with it, it was all moldy and inedible by the time it was found. As the saying goes, the old man in the family was sick again, and finally spent the family's savings almost before he was cured, but he didn't expect his distant uncle's family to remember his own land, and he forged an IOU, colluded with the county office, and transferred more than 200 acres of land from Suning's family to his name, and then waited until the autumn harvest to grab the harvest together, and he was stunned to kill several old people and elders in the family. Then because there was no food to hand over, he arrested several brothers in his family and his father to the Yamen station cage, and after two days, his father was angry and tired and died at the gate of the Yamen, completely announcing the destruction of his Su family.

He was angry, found a few relatives to borrow money and wanted to go to the county to complain, was stopped on the way, sentenced to a confiscation of Xinjiang, escaped halfway, knew that he was invincible with the government, he followed a group of displaced people to the south I don't know how far, and finally arrived in Annan, wandering in Beihai County, suddenly heard that a group of pirates came to the south, and was recruiting a large number of displaced people to work, so he followed together to Dongfang Port to "cast a beard".

When he arrived at Dongfang Port, he actually felt for the first time that "knowledge is power", and more fully felt the goodwill of the elders of Dongfang Port to the "intellectuals".

Not long ago, he also encountered an incident that still haunts him, that is, he was besieged by a group of naturalized people when he posted the senate's notice prohibiting the attack on weasels, and he was slandered as a "weasel spirit" by these naturalized people without even understanding what was going on, and not only was the crowd excited to beat him to death, but even demanded that he be skinned in public at the police headquarters. If it was placed in the Wu Dynasty, he would basically be dead, because in order to stabilize the people's hearts, officials will generally take care of the requirements of the people. But he was confronted by a strange senator, who first claimed to see that he was a weasel spirit, then said that he would send himself to the police headquarters, and then said that he would skin himself in public at the behest of the naturalized people. But in the end, he used the trick of "weasel fart poison" to scare the onlookers away, and then let him die.

Although the patriarch surnamed Lu does not seem to be very old, he is very skilled in grasping human nature, his every action and every word is to firmly grasp the weakness of the people, it seems that he follows the people to breathe out of one nostril, but secretly he is playing with these people in the palm of his hand, and finally he also turned over the clouds and rescued himself easily. This made him admire him so much that he wanted to worship the patriarch as a master, but the patriarch shook his head and asked him to learn more things. Although he failed to become a veteran apprentice, the head of Lu promised him that if he could get the third-level cultural training certificate this year and the title of senior propagandist of the Ministry of Culture and Propaganda, he would be accepted as an apprentice.

Suning's name satisfies the bad taste of the patriarchs, but it does not come from the patriarchs' "unrecognizable feet", this name is really chosen by his father, in order to make a family peaceful, but it has not been realized. Now the eighteen-year-old Suning is not only young and receptive, but also has received the initial literacy and hyphenation education, so he can be called a group of people with "immeasurable prospects", and he is also a naturalized citizen who joined in 1629, when he needed people the most, so he is naturally truly promising. But there is a reason why Lu Qi does not accept this apprentice, now Lu Qi has just come out of the hospital, and he has "conflicts" with many senators in the Senate before, so even if he has made great achievements in the northbound detachment, he does not have much real power in the Senate, if he accepts this apprentice now, what can he use it for? What can you teach him? If Lu Qi accepts this apprentice now, it is equivalent to ruining his political future, and not accepting him now can not only protect him, but also make him feel that he has a life-saving grace for him, and he will have the opportunity to repay his kindness in the future, so no matter how Suning asks, Lu Qi will resolutely not accept him as an apprentice.

When Suning saw Zhou Jinfeng coming in, he motioned to the apprentice next to him and handed a thick document to the county order, "My lord, this document is the reply of the Executive Committee of the Chinese Senate to the invitation to send troops to the north to quell the rebellion, and I would like to ask you to look at it." ”

Zhou Jinfeng hurriedly stretched out his hand, opened his hands and looked at it carefully, there were indeed a lot of things mentioned in it, but unexpectedly there was no mention of money anywhere in the document, and the most concerned about the military food was the problem, and asked him about the grain road. Of course, he knew that the soldiers and horses would go first before the grain and grass were moved, and without grain and grass, it would be impossible for a hungry army to win the war, and if the grain routes could not be guaranteed, it would be impossible to send the army out to fight. The Chinese can think of this, it seems that they are quite experienced in marching and fighting.

He looked down next, and the Chinese also made a suggestion to borrow a large port in Shandong for the temporary use of the Chinese army for loading and unloading troops and combat supplies and food supplies, a location provided by the Wu Dynasty, but the Chinese wanted to choose Jiaozhou Bay in Jiaodong. The Chinese also explained in the letter that the road conditions from Jiaozhou Bay in Shandong to Shanxi were more suitable, and they did not face Liaodong in Bohai Bay, so it would not affect the supply of Liaodong by the Wu Dynasty. The water depth in Jiaozhou Bay is suitable for large ships to enter and exit for loading and unloading materials, and can also shelter from the wind, which is suitable for supply transport ships to approach and load and unload.

The ship is far away from being the only enemy and hating the lonely queen

When Zhou Jinfeng saw this, he couldn't help but be secretly frightened, just by seeing that they chose this Jiaozhou Bay as a port to load and unload materials and troops, he could already see that the Chinese had a premeditated plan for the Wu Dynasty, although they were in Annan Province, the southernmost part of the Wu Dynasty, they were so familiar with the situation in Shanxi, Shandong, which was thousands of miles away, to know that when these officials first held a meeting in Beihai, many people did not even know where Shanxi was, The Chinese, on the other hand, already have a deep understanding of where large ships are suitable for unloading supplies.

Zhou Jinfeng continued to look down, there were no strange requirements below, only one thing that made him a little tricky, that is, "all the prisoners captured by the Chinese army in the battle should be dealt with by the Chinese side, and the Chinese government guarantees that these prisoners will not stay in Wuguo, let alone cause damage to the government locally." "What does this mean? He knows that the Chinese have an endless thirst for manpower, but all the able-bodied people, they will not fall into all of them, and now there are more than 100,000 rebel troops in Shanxi, can these Chinese eat?
