Fang Zhenghua came to Shidao accompanied by Chen Yingyuan, and waited for a month as an angel waiting for the decree, which made Fang Zhenghua extremely annoyed and full of resentment towards Zhao Lie. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Chen Yingyuan knew this very well, so he insisted on accompanying Fang Zhenghua to Shidao to issue the decree, he was afraid that Fang Zhenghua and Zhao Lie would have a fierce conflict, although Fang Zhenghua did not talk to him about the content of the holy decree, but Chen Yingyuan after all, he had been in the sea for many years, and the Son of Heaven and the ministers must have some plans, and it would definitely be unfavorable for Zhao Lie to come to the holy decree.

Zhao Lie was originally domineering, and then he received a holy decree that was unfavorable to him, and the person who issued the decree was still full of resentment towards him, and he couldn't make a few sarcastic words in his mouth, thinking about this scene, Chen Yingyuan was also drunk.

Although he does not attract the pride of the Son of Heaven and the ministers, Chen Yingyuan still has the most basic ethics of being a courtier, and he can't tolerate Denglai to turmoil again, at least he can't have chaos when he is in office, otherwise he will lose the least fig leaf.

And Chen Yingyuan faintly felt in his heart that Zhao Lie might be the only hope for the Ming Dynasty to fight against Jiannu, and the increasingly erosive situation of the Ming Dynasty in recent years made Chen Yingyuan have to think so.

Fang Zhenghua and Chen Yingyuan's trip to Guava Island was an eye-opener.

In the territory under the jurisdiction of the governor of Denglai, it is still the familiar Ming Dynasty, who can be seen everywhere in the Ming Dynasty with ragged clothes and cowardly expressions, this is the current situation in the north of the Ming Dynasty.

Whether it is Xuanfu, Datong, Jizhen, Gyeonggi or even Shandong, it is not unusual, it is too normal or not.

However, as soon as you enter the boundary of the military camp of Denglai Dusi, the road is wide and straight, the village houses are neat, the acres of crops are excellent, the military households and people are neatly dressed, and many military households talk and laugh with smiles on their faces, and they do not have much fear of the large number of soldiers passing by.

Fang Zhenghua felt as if he had arrived in another country, as if he was not the Da Ming he was familiar with, how could it be so, it was really strange.

Chen Yingyuan didn't feel anything, Zhao Lie could not only govern the army but also govern the government, he knew this deeply, it was not surprising, otherwise why would these former poor military families be willing to sacrifice their lives and forget their lives for Zhao Lie to fight with Jiannu.

Of course, Chen Yingyuan strictly controlled the soldiers in the pacesetter camp, and did not commit any crimes against these military households.

Chen Yingyuan remembered that Zhao Lie was beaten by the gentry for a military household and made trouble in Wendeng County and Denglai, but he didn't want to give Zhao Lie a chance to slap his face.

Zhao Lie still gave the angel a lot of face, and he went out of Shidao five miles to greet him.

Fang Zhenghua and his entourage encountered a neat military formation on the official road five miles away from Shidao.

A thousand Shidao soldiers lined up beside the official road to greet them, waving their flags and waving their armor and shining murderous spirit, as if they were waiting for a demonstration, this thing depends on what you think.

Anyway, in Fang Zhenghua's opinion, there are both, but he doesn't care too much, maybe the Tubaozi officials or generals outside Gyeonggi can be shocked, but the soldiers of the five battalions of the Jingshi Division are not bad, he despises this in his heart, this Zhao Lie is this means is not successful.

The only thing that interested him was that Zhao Lie's subordinates were indeed fully protected by armor, which was only treated in other military towns by the generals of the guards, and here a thousand soldiers were like this, this Zhao Lie was really a tyrant, I am afraid they were all obtained in Jeju and what Ezo land, maybe there is some oil and water in the Wa country.

Behind the military formation was the formation of Zhao Lie's hundreds of guards.

Compared with the absolute neatness of the soldiers, the formation of Zhao Lie's guards is mainly to protect Zhao Lie, and the formation is not so neat.

At this time, Zhao Lie had already seen the team of hundreds of people on the opposite side, as well as the banner symbolizing the arrival of the Son of Heaven.

Zhao Lie immediately stepped forward under the escort of the guards.

Zhao Lie had no joy or sorrow for the arrival of the angel, thinking that the court would not give him good fruits to eat, but he would not delay him to make an article around this so-called angel.

Fang Zhenghua was surprised to find that Zhao Lie only took a deep look when he saw him, and did not kneel down to salute, his face immediately turned red, he knew that Zhao Lie was domineering, but he didn't expect Zhao Lie to be so domineering.

"Mr. Zhao, our family came to issue an edict on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and you dare not kneel down to pay respects." Fangzheng's voice had become a little shrill because of anger.

"Oh, it's Zhao who lost, and the lower officials thought that they would only kneel and bow to the Son of Heaven in person, which was rude."

Zhao Lie's apology is full of apologies, but he doesn't move at all, he just arches his hands, and this apology is very 'sufficient' at first glance.

Fang Zhenghua's face was flushed, he was full of evil thoughts towards Zhao Lie at this time.

"I heard that Lord Zhao went to Lushun and Dongjiang to investigate the military situation of Jiannu this time, and there are gains along the way."

Chen Yingyuan hurriedly interrupted, don't clash with the two of you, otherwise it will be over.

"Alas," Zhao Lie let out a long sigh when he heard that his face was gloomy.

Chen Yingyuan and Fang Zhenghua were both inexplicable at this time, and asked you why you were crying and sad when you visited the Dongjiang River.

"In the past, the subordinates reported to the governor Bing that the governor was a lie, and the general was going south to recruit the Xiyi people."

Zhao Lie nodded south.

Fang Zhenghua was immediately sluggish, Nima, you said that you sent troops, you heard it right, you sent troops to the south without the will of the imperial court, and you said it so unashamedly, you are a greasy minister.

"Lord Zhao, it is a great sin to send troops without reporting to your own officials and the imperial court, Lord Zhao, you are guilty."

Chen Yingyuan was a little unbearable, well, I know that you Zhao Lieqiangjun can't look down on him as the governor boss in your hands, but in front of the angels, you save some face.

"Ben will accuse the Governor." Zhao Lie looked at Chen Yingyuan deeply, with a sincere attitude.

However, in Fang Zhenghua's opinion, you are a little military minister who still doesn't kneel down to accuse the governor of the previous party, do you still have the dignity and humility of the court in your eyes Zhao Lie.

"This expedition is the same as the previous cross-sea aid to Lushun, the military situation is urgent, the Francois and the Dutch and the English together have a total of nearly 100 Xiyi warships trying to harass our Ming coast, trying to force our Ming to occupy land and do business like Macao, so Zhao Lie got the information and immediately led the army to the south."

This time, not only did Fang Zhenghua not believe it, but even Chen Yingyuan didn't believe it, because this is too unbelievable, and I am afraid it is Zhao Lie's excuse.

"Lord Zhao, even if you are conquering the south, Lord Zhao can also be an official, why do you act so rashly."

Chen Yingyuan had some resentment in his words, Nima, although you just don't have much respect for me on weekdays, but you can't give me some face in front of the angels, so you use these words to prevaricate me and wait, who believes.

"The governor doesn't know, this time the Xiyi people colluded with Zheng Zhilong, the general of the town guard in Quanzhou, Fujian, to act together, Zheng Zhilong commanded more than 700 warships and nearly 100 warships of the Xiyi people to act together, and the general did not dare to communicate to the adults, because he was afraid of leaking the news from the officialdom, so that Zheng Zhilong was aware of it first, and the Xiyi people were prepared, and the general just wanted to catch the enemy off guard."

Zhao Lie replied, at this time Zhao Lie's attitude was extremely sincere, Zhao Lie's face was a loyal appearance, and he could make people look at the letter without acting skills.

Fang Zhenghua and Chen Yingyuan, as close ministers around the Son of Heaven and important ministers in control of one side, both knew the trickiness of Zheng Zhilong in Fujian, and it can be said that the imperial court had no choice but to appease Zheng Zhilong.

The finances of the imperial court are all used to resist Jiannu and exterminate the bandits in the Central Plains, which are stretched thin, and there is no power to revive the water division, and Zheng Zhilong, who has become bigger and has a huge water division, has no other way but to appease him.

However, the imperial court and the Fujian Governor's Office never regarded Zheng Zhilong as a real general under the command of the Ming Dynasty, and were more vigilant.

Hearing Zhao Lie's words, Fang Zhenghua and Chen Yingyuan also became solemn, if what Zhao Lie said was true, then it was really not good news for Daming, how big the threat of these thousand warships was, they knew in their hearts, I am afraid that the coastal areas of Daming will continue to be attacked by these people, and it will be bad news for Daming, which is already stormy.

"What Lord Zhao said is true, you must know that the strength of these nearly a thousand warships is strong, how can this victory or defeat."

Fang Zhenghua was the first to ask at this time, asking for his master, he knew the embarrassment of the Son of Heaven now, if the southern Ming Dynasty's wealth-rich Jiangnan area became chaotic again, the Ming Dynasty's finances would immediately collapse.

"So that the two adults can know that although Zhao Lie's sailors have lost thousands of people, it can be said that they have lost half of the Tai casualties, but they still defeated the fleet of the Xiyi people, and destroyed the Tai half of Zheng Zhilong's rebellious warship, and finally solved this crisis, but the soldiers suffered heavy casualties."

Speaking of this, Zhao Liehu's eyes were full of tears and his words were choked.

It's a pity that the two old elves are indifferent to Zhao Lie's tears, and in their hearts, they have already designated Zhao Lie as a loyal and deceitful person in their hearts, otherwise how could they hide that the Son of Heaven and the imperial court have raised so many soldiers and forcibly occupied so much territory.

"Lord Zhao mourns the change, it is common to lose some soldiers in the battle array, but fortunately, after all, it is defeated."

There was a sense of comfort in Zhao Lie's words, but Fang Zhenghua's tone and expression made it clear that he still didn't believe it, you Zhao Lie can be so public and selfless, in order to defeat Xiyi and Zheng Zhilong, he lost most of his strength, maybe someone can believe it, anyway, he doesn't believe it.

"Lord Zhao, since the warship of the Xiyi people has been defeated, there are always some captures in hand, and it is also possible to hand it over to the imperial court so that the Son of Heaven and the elders of the pavilion can ask for credit for Lord Zhao."

The meaning of Chen Yingyuan's words is obvious, well, you said that you won a big victory and defeated nearly a thousand enemy ships, including the red-haired warships that have been ravaging the southeast for more than ten years, but you have to come up with some captures to prove it, otherwise who will believe it.

Zhao Lie smiled when he heard the insincere words of the two,

"The two adults came at the right time, and I would have led the two adults to the dock to have a look at the captured Xiyi warships and the thousands of captured Xiyi people."

As soon as Zhao Lie's words came out, Fang Zhenghua and Chen Yingyuan's eyes lit up, could this really be true. (To be continued.) )
