There are many coastal areas in the eastern part of the Ming Dynasty, why it is difficult to get rid of the Japanese is because they can be raided by boat, they can come and go freely, and the coastal defense of the Ming Dynasty is not only repaired and perfected by spending a lot of money in Shandong, but also the relationship between the Japanese and the Japanese invaders, and the Shanghai land built later because of the expedition to the sea and the extermination of the sea bandits, the others are simply a mess. Once the war is stalemate in the future, a large number of sailors can be sent here, which can not only harass the eastern coastal border of the Ming Dynasty, but also penetrate to the rear as a surprise soldier, and can also seek overseas world, which is one of them.

Second, Guangdong is in the south, and the imperial court has heavy troops in the north, so if you want to conquer the road, it is not conducive to attacking. And my father and Lu Xun are in northern Shandong, once there is an accident in the family, they can also pass through the layers of buffers and filters of many forces on the guò road, so that it is much more convenient to support Shandong through the sea. If Guangdong can be captured, even if the land in Shandong is not guaranteed, they can also leave a place for them to live.

Thirdly, it is convenient for trade with foreign countries, and foreign feudal lords like to land here as a place for commercial turnover and reselling. But apparently Daming did not realize the objectivity of this commercial value, and once again issued a ban on the sea, which is really short-sighted. If you don't trade with the outside world, you will lose the opportunity for progress and communication, and no matter how complacent you are, you will not be able to resist the development of others. When the enemy is strong and we are weak, the enemy will go deep into the hinterland to tear apart your regime and spoil your people, so Lu Yi believes that development is the last word, and other methods are nonsense. So the expeditionary force at sea must be strengthened, and this is the best place to develop.

Lu Yi thought so, since the imperial court soldiers and horses were piled up around Shandong now, it was better to negotiate the conditions with the Guangxi army first. We should not invade each other and openly recruit troops in Guangdong. Although the danger in Nanjing City has been lifted, it is still in a state of chaos. The order could not be transmitted at all, and the entire Nanjing City was still under the control of the Jinyi Weinan suppression forces loyal to Lu Bing, and the city gate was locked and no outsiders were allowed to enter.

In addition, it is time for Han Sufa to test his loyalty, now his territory is seized a little too quickly, and the military quality of his subordinates and his personal is simply not enough to support such a large area of territory, and it is better to let them rush to the direction of Guangdong. At the same time, it also reduced Han Sufa's strength. Lu Yi believes that under his leadership, Han Sufa's army will have a qualitative transformation from the inside to the outside. And this army can also be completely turned into a team surnamed Lu.

As long as the coastal defense forces are returned to the sea fleet, the rest will not be a problem, and even if Guangdong is not guaranteed, it can go to other places overseas to find another way to make a living. Of course, Lu Yi still likes the territory of Daming, in short, he chose this base area. Lu Yi called his subordinates. Let them invite Cui Ling and Zhao Yu to come.

About a stick of incense has passed. The two came to Lu Yi, and Lu Yi asked directly: "Brother Cui, I need you to help me go to Han Sufa to divide power." I still have to take care of the brothers in Nanjing, there are already generals outside the city who have begun to lead people to attack the city, I think in this chaos they will soon be promoted to new generals, no matter how we disrupt and interfere, we will not be able to create a long-term chaos out of control. In short, the brothers can't last long, and strong reinforcements must be involved to deal with the standing army of the Nanjing Military Department that is about to move outside the city. As for what Han Sufa did over there, I'll talk to you in detail later. Can you help me with that? ”

"What are you doing with such outside words, can I not help you with your help? Just don't mess me up because I'm too incompetent. Cui Ling said with a smile, he had been in a panic recently. He had already received the message from his grandfather Cui Ying, and he had already prepared for his grandfather's life of Xianyun Yehe living in seclusion in the mountains and forests, because as the master of the Sword King's inheritance, he also felt that Cui Ying's life was not long, and this step was just a matter of time, in order not to affect his mood and not let his grandfather's death leave a shadow in his life, so that Cui Ling, who was so calm, had ripples, and once he encountered a change, he could become a turbulent trend, and it was no longer difficult to use the Sword King's trick, and he had a weakness in his own mood. Because the people of the Sword King Sect are sensitive, any change in their feelings will cause them a danger that is many times higher than the usual.

Lu Yi nodded and said: "Then I thank you first, this matter must be done by someone you can trust, the time between you and my brother is not long, but I am willing to entrust my net worth, we are friends of life and death, right?" By the way, Zhao Yu, not only Cui Ling, but I also have something to look for you. ”

Lu Yi, Cui Ling, and Zhao Yu get along almost day and night, and now they are so familiar that they don't have very polite honorific titles. Zhao Yu was puzzled: "You won't let me lead the troops to fight for you, right?" ”

"Not really." Lu Yi replied with a smile, Zhao Yu breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "That's good, if you want to mention it, I can't help you, it's really not to save your face but I really don't have the ability to do it." ”

"I'm not asking you to do this kind of thing, you're going to have to promise me something. After Han Sufa led the army away, you can only encroach on the territory in the north and south, and you are not allowed to go further west. Lu Yi said, Zhao Yu was puzzled and asked why, Lu Yi explained: "First of all, Han Su found that what he occupied was a rich land, once he brought troops to Nanjing and then came to Guangdong, the defense there must be weak, and maybe it would be snatched back by the imperial court again." This is a borderless land, and if you conquer it, won't it cost us a loss? We still want to go back to those places after we get rid of Guangdong, it's better to take it from the imperial court than from you, right? To be honest, these territories are better in the hands of the imperial court. ”

"That said, let's form an alliance, and since it is an alliance, we must help each other and benefit each other. If you don't want it, we can ask for it, and we won't be allowed to occupy it if it's empty? Besides, it's much better to fall into our hands than to fall into the hands of the imperial court, at least it belongs to our allies, the public is public and private, Ding is Ding Mao is Mao, Lu Yijun should not be too authoritarian. Zhao Yu said with some dissatisfaction.

Lu Yi smiled and said: "The survival of the fittest, arbitrariness is based on strong strength. Our Lu family is resisting the imperial army, but you are taking advantage of the weakness, isn't it right for us to ask you, believe it or not, I can persuade my father now, let the Lu family army and the imperial army suspend the war, and destroy you first. If Qi Jingtong's main force of the imperial court comes over, do you want to have anything to do with your Zhao family, now it is just a few small fish and shrimp. You are shouting that it has fallen into the hands of the court, or something Dingmao, this is really a fool's dream. ”

Zhao Yun frowned slightly and said, "We can manage it first." ”

"Hmph. I'm afraid that Liu Bei borrowed Jingzhou and won't look back. It's still the same sentence, these places are treasures of the Ming Dynasty, we want the court to want you, let's talk ugly to the front, don't feel wronged when you occupy it and we go to ask for it. It is better to give it to the imperial court, so that the imperial court will feel that there is room for maneuver in the war, and it will indulge you to continue to develop. It will also allow us to come and go freely and be ready to take it at any time. Let me ask, if you take those places for yourself, if my Lu family wants to connect the north and the south. Will you still let our armies cross your territory? Are you not afraid that we will rise up against you? Hehe, if you don't know and can answer, then it's nonsense. Lu Yi said.

"I don't deny that what you say is true, maybe the time of Ming's demise will be the day when you and my forces will part ways. You are not wrong to be prepared to contain us earlier. Zhao Hui regained the appearance of talking about business at the beginning. There are few little daughters, and she said seriously: "But I can't be the master of this matter, I need to consult my uncle and brother to give an answer." ”

"Well, I've worked hard, but it's still ugly in front of you, you have to promise this time, you have to promise if you don't agree." Lu Yi sneered.

Zhao Yu nodded, turned around and went out, it is estimated that she will send someone back to deliver the message today. After Zhao Yu leaves. Cui Ling laughed dryly and asked, "Is it okay for you to say this, it's too tough." It's all good. ”

"There is nothing wrong with it, and there can be no mercy in the struggle for the world. To be kind to others is to be cruel to oneself. Lu Yi said lightly.

Cui Ling nodded after a while and said, "What should I do?" ”

"You look like brother, you just have to be so and so and so and so and so Lu Yi reopened the map that had been rolled up before and told Cui Ling.

"What's going on, where did the Shen family's money go?" A young man said angrily to an old man who was tied up in front of him, waving the whip in his hand as he spoke.

"Don't you tell you, the most important thing in capital operation is operation, not capital accumulation. As for the money, didn't you find it all? Shen Kang? The old man coughed.

The young man named Shen Kang frowned coldly and said, "I see that you still don't cry when you don't see the coffin, you hit you lightly!" Saying that, Shen Kang waved his whip and whipped it on the old man's body again, and with a snap, there was a new scar on the old man's chest, but this scar was not too obvious, because his chest was already densely scarred.

The old man snorted in a low voice, and then said with a smile: "Shen Kang, you are a great rebel, even if the Shen family has accumulated treasures, they will not let you know. ”

"Shen Qingshan, let me tell you, the Shen family's money is not yours alone, not to mention that you are still a wild seed of unknown origin." Shen Kang shouted arrogantly.

It turned out that this old man who was tortured was Shen Qingshan, the head of the Shen family back then, at first Shen Qingshan was only under house arrest, and then he was forced to ask, but he did not cut off Shen Qingshan in terms of food and medical treatment, for fear that something would happen to Shen Qingshan, and when the time came, he would force everyone in the clan and his old subordinates who were still loyal to Shen Qingshan to go to others in desperation, or rebel.

But later, after a long time, Shen Qingshan's power was almost swallowed up by all sides, and Shen Qingshan lost the capital that could be preserved, and the usurpers of the Shen family also lost patience. At the beginning, he first stopped Shen Qingshan's medicine, let the illness torment him, and then cut off Shen Qingshan's living necessities, and he didn't even give him food.

Shen Qingshan carried it, and the Shen family still didn't dare to let Shen Qingshan die, because the Shen family was rumored to have a huge amount of treasure, but only the head of the family knew the location, and the only value of Shen Qingshan now was whether he could spit out the location of the treasure. Shen Hongshan shattered the Shen family's management, and each head of the house was called a struggle for power, and the entire Shen family was already going downhill, and the magnitude was unimaginable. Now everyone listened to the tune and didn't listen to Shen Hongshan, and wanted to interrogate Shen Qingshan in turn, for fear that whoever would know the secret would swallow the treasure alone, so they did their best when it was their turn to interrogate, and the murderous Cheng Dù was like an enemy who hated the country and hated the family, whoever asked, the treasure was who's, of course, there were also many people on the periphery, they were waiting, and they were investigating all the movements of the other people in the Shen family, for fear that others would already know where the treasure was. In order not to be suspected, the torture became more and more brutal to show that he did not know.

Shen Qingshan originally wanted to frame someone, saying that he had obtained the treasure and had formed an alliance with him. It's just that in this way, the Shen family is going to make a mess. Although Shen Qingshan is now disheartened with the Shen family, Shen Qingshan still doesn't want the Shen family to be torn apart, after all, the Shen family has assisted him, and when he first joined the Shen family, there were still people who were good to him. What's more, if there is such a fuss, those old subordinates who have switched to the court don't know how many people will die.

Shen Qingshan is still insisting, he knows his current situation very well, not to say that it is a death, if he says it, he has to die immediately. Where the Shen family's treasure was, Shen Qingshan didn't know, but there was a mantra that said the location of many treasures, and Shen Qingshan had not explored it. The repeated torture and abuse made Shen Qingshan, who was already frail and sickly, even worse, some of the wounds began to suppurate and stink, and the fever that started had not subsided since five or six days ago.

Now that Shen Qingshan has almost reached the limit, he can no longer withstand this kind of old torture, and his body and spirit have reached the edge, let alone say it, thinking that if he lasts for a while, it is estimated that he should return to the west. Seeing death as home, it is estimated that this is his current state. (To be continued......)
