Song Xiance took small steps, frowned tightly, and quickly walked through the corridor to the door of Yu Guozhen's office, as soon as he entered the door, he saw Hua Youzhi sitting there, and when he saw him coming, the young man got up and saluted: "Staff Officer Song." ”

"Youzhi, you look good, it seems that the lord is in a good mood?"

Although he was anxious, Song Xiance still said hello to the eighteen-year-old boy.

Hua Youzhi replied respectfully: "Staff Officer Xie Song is concerned, the Lord is waiting, he has already ordered, as soon as Mr. Song comes, please come in." ”

This Hua Youzhi is only eighteen years old, and he is one of the top ten among the more than 800 graduates of Xinxiang Primary School, but in terms of results alone, he is at the end of the top ten, which happens to be in the tenth place. However, because of his ability to demonstrate in student activities during his elementary school years, he was transferred to the newly established Nanhai Bo Secretarial Office as a secretary after graduation, helping Yu Guozhen with daily clerical matters and freeing Zhang Chi from these affairs.

Zhang Chi was appointed secretary general and concurrently served as mayor of Xinxiang. Obviously, Yu Guozhen is preparing for the next step of territorial expansion, the kind of territory that may have to face enemy attacks, the martial artist Huwei will be the governor, and the simple rear, who only needs to deal with civil affairs, can be filled by a trained and tested literati like Zhang Chi.

Zhang Chi himself knows this, so he spares no effort in cultivating Hua Youzhi, and Hua Youzhi is also competitive, and in just half a month, he has already taken over most of the affairs.

At the same time, Hua Youzhi's other identity is the Tiger Guard Reserve. There are three days a month when they have to undergo military training like the Tiger Guard.

This is also the new rule of Xinxiang, although the population under the Xinxiang system has increased rapidly, even if Zhang Bingwen and Fang Kongzhi have left their posts, the average number of people who come to Xinxiang through various channels every month is more than 10,000, and there are still more than 100,000 new foreigners a year. But. The total strength of Xinxiang is still insufficient, and it is currently only 39,000 men. Moreover, the Tiger Guard elite has been stationed abroad for a long time, in order to make up for this shortcoming. In Xinxiang, Hoi An, and Xinhang, all people of appropriate age need to join the reserves. Military training is conducted three days a month.

Song Xiance, a short man, is as bright as a mirror in his heart, knowing that in a sense, a person like Hua Youzhi is Yu Guozhen's henchman, although he is arrogant, he doesn't dare to take too big in front of Hua Youzhi.

Seeing Hua Youzhi open the door for him. Song Xiance walked in quickly and appeared at the door of Yu Guozhen's office.

In addition to his desk and a wall of books, Yu Guozhen's office also has a small conference room, and now there are seven or eight people sitting in the conference room. Song Xiance glanced around. There was a slight pang in his heart, in addition to Zhang Chi and Mao Yuanyi, Luo Jiuhe, Tian Boguang, Gu Jiaming and other martial arts positions have also arrived, especially Gu Jiaming, he originally went to Changhua and came at this time. Obviously, it was an urgent notice from Yu Guozhen.

"Mr. Song has also arrived, and now there are only two pillars left." Yu Guozhen smiled and pointed to an empty chair: "Sit down, let's wait for the second pillar." ”

Not long after, Gao Erzhu appeared in Song Xiance's sight with a feminine smile on his face.

The entire Xinxiang, if you say who Song Xiance is the most unwilling to see, it must be Gao Erzhu. This man was too feminine, almost in stark contrast to his fierce brother, the tall pillar. Gao Dazhu has now been transferred to the reserve, as the chief of the Xinxiang reserve, he is considered to be out of the front line of the tiger guard, and since he was injured in the battle of Huguang, his health has not been very good, and he has always been recuperating, like today's meeting, he did not appear.

After Gao Erzhu sat down, Yu Guozhen propped up the table with his hands and coughed: "Today's meeting is to ask everyone to discuss the issue of how we will develop our military strategy in the next three years." ”

"Before you speak, let Erzhu tell me the latest information." Yu Guozhen said again.

Gao Erzhu stood up and closed the notes spread out in his hand. In fact, there was not a word in his notebook, and after he had worked in intelligence, he was suspicious of leaking anything left on paper, so he memorized all the important information.

"A month ago, Zheng Zhilong's henchman Zeng De went to the Wa Kingdom, and according to the report of my intelligence investigators in the Wa Kingdom, Zeng De met with the Japanese shogunate general Tokugawa Iemitsu, and the two sides reached a secret agreement." Gao Erzhu's eyes were still feminine, and he even had a slight smile on his face: "I have a copy of the content of the agreement here, which is extremely complicated, so I won't say more, and only tell you some parts related to our Xinxiang." ”

"First, the Wa Kingdom opened the market in exchange for the Zheng family's support for attacking Shimabara's Amakusa Shiro Tokisada."

Hearing this, a sneer appeared on everyone's faces, Amakusa Shiro Shizhen was single-handedly supported by Xinxiang, and the Zheng family definitely knew about it, but they dared to reach such an agreement with the Tokugawa Shogunate of the Wakuni Kingdom, and it was clear that they were secretly stumbling on Xinxiang.

"Second, the Japanese allowed the Dutch to do business in Hirado in exchange for the support of the Dutch in suppressing Amakusa Shiro Tokisada."

This second condition itself is nothing, but Zheng Zhilong's subordinates actually reached an agreement on behalf of the Dutch, and the content revealed behind it is worth pondering.

"Sure enough, the Zheng family colluded with the Dutch." Everyone secretly said in their hearts.

"Third, the Tokugawa Shogunate of the Wakuni Kingdom will launch a new campaign against Shimabara, mobilize the strength of the whole country, gather 150,000 soldiers, and prepare for a big war."

150,000 soldiers!

This number made several civilians slightly moved, but the martial arts from Huwei still did not change their faces.

The soldiers of the Japanese state are ferocious, as we all know, in fact, the memory of the Japanese rebellion has not yet retreated from the Ming Dynasty, and there are many "ambassadors of the Japanese army" in the coastal military positions.

But in front of the new Xianghuwei, the soldiers and generals of the Japanese State are just local chickens and dogs, and 150,000 seems to be too much, so what, is it more ferocious than Dorgon's 150,000 captives?

"That's what we learned, and my people used some methods to know that the time for the Tokugawa shogunate to start should be in mid-May this year, just in time for the typhoon."

Everyone listened intently, they all secretly admired Gao Erzhu's methods, these information should be extremely hidden, but Gao Erzhu just poked them out.

Some people even thought of a word: Jinyiwei.

But this word was only a flash, Gao Erzhu once tentatively reached out to Xinxiang, but was snubbed by Yu Guozhen for a while, and in Xinxiang also set up an "Inspection Department" controlled by Yu Hanwen, a tiger who had a broken arm, which made Gao Erzhu only use all his attention externally.

"In addition, I have a copy of the secret letter that Zheng Zhilong asked his brother Zheng Zhifeng to bring to Gao Qiqian." Gao Erzhu said again.

When he said this, a sneer appeared on his face: "The little eunuch beside Gao Qiqian sold two copies of this copy, one to Wang Chengen, and the other to us. ”

Cao Huachun has gone to work and returned to his hometown, and now it is Wang Chengen who is in charge of the brocade guard. His relationship with Xinxiang is average, and personally, he is extremely loyal to Chongzhen, so he completely uses Chongzhen's likes and dislikes as the standard for evaluating Xinxiang.

Zheng Zhilong said in a secret letter that he was willing to give one million taels of silver, half of which would go to Gao Qiqian and the other half to the emperor. In the letter, he cried that Nanhai Bo had acted against him a lot, and asked for help from Gao Qiqian. He also said that the officials had a disobedient heart and recruited exiles privately. ”

"This guy is ruthless." Yu Guozhen had read the report, but he still secretly praised it in his heart.

Gao Qiqian secretly played Chongzhen, and also said that the new Xiangwei was out of tune, but did not say that the officials were plotting against him, but said that to protect the meritorious heroes, the monarchs and ministers should start and finish well, and they must be slightly restricted, and it is recommended that all local officials be ordered to restrict immigration to Xinxiang. In addition, some ministers in the DPRK and China, mainly Miao Yintu, Zhang Xuan, Wei Zhou Yin, Wei Zhou Zuo brothers, wrote that Xinxiang seafood was competing with the people for profit, and suggested that the import of Xinxiang seafood should be restricted, and all of them should not be allowed to enter the Ming Dynasty except for ordnance and iron weapons. Gong Dingyu played in the military department, thinking that "Storm Collection", "People's Livelihood Miscellaneous Records" and "People's Livelihood Express", or insulting the holy words to confuse people's hearts and make the fallacy spread, or arrogantly saying that the country is to make nothing happen, and asked for a ban. ”

This series of news made everyone feel that their hairs stood up!

For Xinxiang, Daming has always been the rear, and it is a fairly stable rear, and Yu Guozhen has repeatedly conquered in order to stabilize this rear. In the previous time, this rear also lived up to Yu Guozhen's expectations, not only providing Xinxiang with a large number of raw materials and a stable sales market, but also providing Xinxiang with the most intelligent and diligent labor force in this era.

It can be said that without Daming, there would be nothing Xinxiang currently has. And until now, the population and market of Daming are extremely critical to Xinxiang!

And the twists and turns of Gao Qiqian and others are clearly a group of officials with a keen sense of smell, and when they saw Chongzhen's suspicion of Yu Guo, they began to cover up their slander!

"Go on." Seeing that there was some commotion in the crowd, Yu Guozhen signaled to Gao Erzhu.

"Yes. Turning to the south, also a month ago, the envoy of the Zheng family arrived in Annam, secretly met with the Zheng and Nguyen clans in Annam, and instigated the Zheng and Nguyen clans to join forces to capture Hoi An and Xinhang. At the same time, a group of envoys also came to the Xian Kingdom in the north, saying that they were willing to help the Xian Kingdom recover Tamna. ”

"The Zheng family is so hot!"

Finally, Luo Jiuhe couldn't help but slap the table.

Obviously, the Zheng family could not sit idly by and watch Xinxiang dominate the East China Sea and the South China Sea, they had already taken full action, and, with the Zheng family as the center, they connected almost all the forces that might have conflicts of interest with Xinxiang.

Originally, after recovering Keelung and capturing Luzon, Xinxiang seemed to have entered a period of rapid development, but in the blink of an eye, everyone found that they seemed to be caught in a giant net in all directions, and it seemed that every place needed attention!

Song Xiance pressed his temple with his thumb, he was not as excited as Luo Jiuhe, but he was also caught in the long test.

"It's not over yet, Erzhu, go on." Yu Guozhen was still calm and calm, and gestured to the second pillar of Gao.
