(Thank you for waiting for the mooring of the wind, Guozi came to read the book, QXG voted for the precious monthly ticket, thank you for the scarecrow's reward, thank you.) )

After a full quarter of an hour of silence, Xu Jikuang finally spoke again.

"My lord, when his subordinates served as the leader of the Shanyin Gang, he encountered such a thing, and in the words of the Cao Gang, this is unwarranted, put the charge on you, let you be speechless, and then use all aspects of power to let it perish, for example, if the Shanyin Gang wants to merge with the small Cao Gang, the most common way is to start from the aspect of accumulation, each Cao Gang has its fixed refuge in the Cao Gang, and other Cao Gangs must not interfere, this is the rule between the Cao Gang, and the Cao Gang also relies on the control of the Cao Gang to maintain, Therefore, the most important thing for the Cao Gang is the number of Cao boats, in order to continue to grow their strength, it is necessary to constantly annex the weak Cao Gang, and the easiest way is to fill them with the crime of privately wooing the Cao Gang. ”

"The struggle here is very complicated, and the weak Cao Gang will also find support, but unfortunately the final outcome is that these weak Cao Gangs are annexed one after another, and it is precisely because of this game that the Ten Cao Gangs will appear."

Zheng Xunrui nodded slightly, he had already figured out some strange things, but he hadn't completely figured out the joints, and there were still some things that he didn't understand very well, Xu Jikuang's reminder made his thoughts go deeper.

"Xu Jikuang, your analysis is good, that is to say, you also think that someone may be pointing the finger at me."

"My lord, my subordinates are not very clear about the ins and outs of the matter, and they can't make such a judgment, but one thing is certain for their subordinates, that is, Shopkeeper Xu is by no means the point, it is just the beginning, or a bait."

"It should be like this, the Cao Gang you just compared made me think a lot, the Ten Cao Gang should be said to be the same as other Cao Gang at the beginning, but it may be slightly stronger in terms of the terrain or strength they occupy. For the sake of its own growth, he put on trumped-up charges against other Cao gangs, took the opportunity to annex, and grew his own strength. This is logical, everyone wants to be able to develop and grow, otherwise they will be swallowed up by other Cao gangs, and the weak will eat the strong. ”

Xu Jikuang looked at Zheng Xunrui and nodded vigorously. In fact, he didn't quite understand what Zheng Xunrui's status was, how could ordinary people do it, maybe he would fall into a dangerous whirlpool before he had time to implement it all.

"Shopkeeper Xu is just the shopkeeper of Shengze's homecoming house, and he has almost no intersection with officialdom, and someone actually wants to deal with it, which is very interesting, okay, Xu Jikuang. You go and prepare, and prepare to assist Hong Mingcheng and specialize in the affairs of Hongmen. ”

Xu Jikuang showed a hesitant look on his face.

"Xu Jikuang, if you think of something, say it directly."

"Yes, my subordinates used to be in the Sanyin Gang, and after such a long time, my subordinates don't want to do these things anymore, and they still want to stay in the Governor's Palace."

Zheng Xunrui smiled.

"I know what you think, don't underestimate Hongmen. Hongmen has a lot of things to do in the future, you go to Hongmen, follow Hong Mingcheng, and get more familiar with the situation. In particular, you must be familiar with the thoughts of those at the bottom of the Hongmen, once you can grasp their thoughts and concerns, you will increase a lot of knowledge, and you will be able to really take on heavy responsibilities in the future. ”

Xu Jikuang quickly understood what he meant, stood up, clenched his fists and prepared to leave.

Just when Xu Jikuang was about to turn around. Zheng Xunrui suddenly asked a question.

"Xu Jikuang, the unwarranted practice you just mentioned, is it just the Cao Gang doing this?"

Xu Jikuang's body trembled slightly, and he quickly answered.

"It's not just the Cao Gang, according to the subordinates, many scholars like to form associations, and in order to strive to strengthen their own power, they often use such a strategy, in their opinion, as long as they can strengthen their own strength, as long as they can eliminate dissidents, other things are nothing."

After Xu Jikuang left, Zheng Xunrui only muttered for half an hour before informing Xu Wanghua, Zheng Jinhong, Hong Xinyu and Wen Kun that they had come to Donglin Library.

"I will leave for Nanjing tomorrow, Mr. Xu will be responsible for the affairs of the governor's palace, Zheng Jinhong will be responsible for the affairs of Zheng Jiajun, Hong Xinyu and Wen Kun will follow me to Nanjing, this time in Nanjing, everything must be kept secret, and no news will be leaked to the outside world."

Zheng Xunrui suddenly decided to go to Nanjing, which surprised everyone, why did he go to Nanjing for no reason, could it be that he wanted to go home to see, it was not necessary, and there were many things in the Governor's Palace, especially the critical moment when the Huai'an Firearms Bureau was developing firearms, Zheng Xunrui should stay in Huai'an at this time.

Zheng Xunrui didn't explain too much, and continued to talk about arranging things.

"Xu Jikuang entered Hongmen, to assist Hong Mingcheng to deal with all the things in Hongmen, Hongmen has developed rapidly in recent times, such a situation should be maintained, at most in the second half of the year, or next year, Hongmen's responsibilities will undergo fundamental changes, I hope that before the changes appear, Hongmen can really take responsibility, please Mr. Xu is responsible for this matter, Zheng Jinhong assists."

"The research of the Firearms Bureau has entered a critical stage, and during the time I left Nanjing, Mr. Xu and Zheng Jinhong should pay more attention to it, and they must go to see it all the time, and if there are any new results, they will report the situation quickly."

"All parts of Huaibei are very calm, Lord Shi, Master Ma and Master Su are conscientious, and the prefects and governors of various places are also doing their best, as long as this situation is well maintained, it will not take long for more changes to occur in various parts of Huaibei, and when the local situation is completely calm, we can make arrangements for some things." ……

Zheng Xunrui finally finished speaking.

This time, Xu Wanghua asked.

"My lord suddenly decided to go to Nanjing, I don't know what it was for."

This was the first time Xu Wanghua asked Zheng Xunrui about the purpose of his trip, and he immediately explained.

"When an adult goes to Nanjing to do business, his subordinates shouldn't ask, but adults have heavy responsibilities and too many responsibilities, and their subordinates know what the adults are going out for, and they have the bottom in their hearts, so they can make corresponding preparations."

Zheng Jinhong, Hong Xinyu and Wen Kun looked at Xu Wanghua with a look of surprise.

Zheng Xunrui's face showed a smile, he knew very well that Xu Wanghua asked like this, there was an unusual deep meaning behind it, and he had a heart-to-heart relationship with Xu Wanghua several times, which actually made Xu Wanghua understand a lot of things, and it was precisely because Xu Wanghua's views and understanding had changed dramatically that he would ask about his whereabouts.

To put it bluntly, Xu Wanghua actually regarded him Zheng Xunrui as an indispensable person in the Ming Dynasty.

Zheng Xunrui picked up the letter written by Yang Tingshu from the table and handed it to Xu Wanghua.

Xu Wanghua was not polite, and looked at the letter carefully.

No one spoke, everyone waited for Xu Wanghua to speak.

After reading the letter, Xu Wanghua thought for a moment and finally spoke.

"The adult trusts his subordinates, and the subordinates are outspoken, when they just saw the letter, the subordinates feel that the adults do not need to go to Nanjing, and this matter can be handled by Lord Yang, but the subordinates have followed the adults for so many years, knowing the vision of the adults to judge the problem, the subordinates have only one problem, if this matter involves the adults, the adults can deal with the matter in Nanjing, if the adults are not involved, the subordinates' suggestions are that the adults go back quickly."

Zheng Xunrui smiled and spoke.

"That's natural, if there is really nothing to do, I will definitely return to Huai'an soon, after all, there are too many things."

Zheng Jinhong and the others didn't understand the meaning, but they wouldn't ask.

Soon, Hong Xinyu and Wen Kun went out to arrange the corresponding things, and they all had to follow Zheng Xunrui to Nanjing, so there must be a lot of preparations.

Xu Wanghua and Zheng Jinhong were left in the house.

Zheng Xunrui's expression became serious.

"Mr. Xu's dissuasion today, I am very grateful, and I will ask Mr. Xu to admonish more in the future, I may not be completely right in doing things, there must be wrong decisions, if there is no one around to dissuade me, it will be too late to really wait until it is a big mistake."

Speaking of which, Zheng Xunrui looked at Zheng Jinhong, Zheng Jinhong's identity is different, and it is impossible to put forward any opinions.

"Mr. Xu may think that I went to Nanjing, all for the shopkeeper Xu, in fact, it is not, to say that before I met Xu Jikuang, I was thinking of going to Nanjing to rescue the shopkeeper Xu, in fact, to achieve such a purpose, it is not necessary for me to come forward, Yang Tingshu can do it, but after seeing Xu Jikuang, my mind has changed a lot, I am determined to go to Nanjing, to figure out a lot of things behind it, Qian Qianyi, Huang Daozhou and Qu Shiyun all went to Nanjing, is it just to feast Chen Zilong, Chen Zilong is just a new science and technology scholar, and he is not worthy of such a big move by Qian Qianyi and others, I expect them to go to Nanjing, and there are other things. ”

"What we did in Huaibei has actually touched the sore spot of the Donglin Party, and the students of Donglin students, Fushe and Yingshe in Huaibei have been excluded, and many scholars have chosen to stay away from Donglin Academy, Fushe and Yingshe, as the leader of the Donglin Party, Qian Qianyi may not give up."

"Hongmen is still in the process of developing and growing, I used to think about making all preparations before making changes, but now it seems unlikely, the Donglin Party may not be able to wait, maybe they sensed the danger and wanted to deal with me."

"I'm not sure of my own judgment, so I have to go to Nanjing, figure out the reasons for this, know ourselves and know that the other side will not be defeated in a hundred battles, we must take every step steadily, and try not to misjudge."

After Zheng Xunrui finished speaking, Xu Wanghua followed and spoke.

"My lord is going to Nanjing, there is a certain danger, my subordinates believe that the soldiers of the Zheng family army must make all preparations in case of accidents, Donglin students, Fu She and Ying Society's scholars, although they are powerless, but the scholars and businessmen around them, the strength is not ordinary, adults must pay attention to their own safety."

Zheng Xunrui waved his hand and smiled again.

"With Hong Xinyu by my side, don't worry, besides, Wen Kun can also play a big role." (To be continued.) )
