Li Xin appeased Gao Shiming: "Justice and righteousness, Li Xin admires it!" ”

Everything is self-evident, Gao Shi is willing to do such a "big rebellion" in front of Li Xin, which is enough to prove his sincerity, which is an unexpected gain for Li Xin. He didn't want to ask more about the secret purpose, but after a few words, he turned to Zhejiang.

"On the trip to Zhejiang, Gao Gong still has to be cautious, I don't know when I plan to leave?"

Gao Shiming wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and his heart shook in front of the ghost gate today, and he really felt like a human being in two lives. As for Li Xin asking him to go to Zhejiang to deal with the case of Xiong Ming's attack and disappearance, he knew that he had no reason to shirk it, so he naturally patted his chest and promised.

"You can leave at any time, just wait for the order of the town captive."

Zhejiang's political envoy Zhao Bingqian and his person Gao Shiming have seen it, it was still Chongzhen's nine years, this person saw the holy drive, and he was as docile as a little sheep in front of the emperor, how did he know that there was a day when his fangs were exposed. Although Gao Shiming sighed in his heart, he still thought that the Hou of Zhenzhen didn't have to be so troublesome, the army crushed the past, found out the lawlessness, tried the case and broke the prison, and cut the mess quickly is the best policy. Swallowing water like this, will it be delayed until the Year of the Monkey? This can only give those who have ill intentions a chance to die and struggle.

So, Gao Shiming decided to persuade Li Xin, and it is unknown whether he can change his mind.

"We don't know if we should say a ...... or not"

This kind of stylized rhetoric as an opening statement, Li Xin is very familiar with it, and he is no longer tired of it, can't these people around him say it directly if they have something to say? I am not an arbitrary person who can't listen to advice, so I have to go on a while of foreshadowing and then go straight to the topic. Of course, he won't give people color because of such trivial things, so he can only laugh and say: "There is something to say, but it doesn't hurt to speak!" ”

Then Gao Shiming said his suggestions and worries, Li Xin listened and nodded his head, what Gao Shiming said was indeed an old man, and he also thought that it was not unreasonable. Li Xin carefully examined his repeated gentle measures in dealing with Zhejiang, and perhaps he was really a little soft.

At this point, Li Xin already had the idea of changing his mind, but he also wanted to ask Gao Shiming's advice first.

"I don't know what kind of disposition Gao Gong thinks should be done for good?"

Gao Shiming blurted out: "Naturally, the Marquis of Zhenyu will lead the troops to go in person, and Mount Tai will be pressed to the top with the momentum of thunder, and the chaos in Zhejiang can be determined." ”

Li Xin nodded, this is indeed a solution, but he still has a reason why he can't leave Nanjing, that is, there are still opposition forces in Nanjing, so he can't leave for a moment. Otherwise, there is a possibility that the situation will be taken advantage of. Li Xin was more distressed by this, and this may be a kind of sequelae brought about by the adoption of moderate measures, if the opposition forces were suppressed with a strong iron fist, although it would be effective, but it would accelerate the division of all parties in the south of the Yangtze River, and at the same time put the Three Guards and himself in the target of public criticism.

Therefore, Li Xin would rather choose to bear this cost, and the minimum cost will bridge the parties. He hoped that Jiangnan would not be involved in the chaos of the Central Plains, as long as peace and stability were maintained here, the Ming Dynasty might die, and the Han family would definitely not die.

In fact, Li Xin has long since abandoned the rumors that the Jurchens are not satisfied with 10,000 and are invincible. Although the combat effectiveness of the Eight Banners of Manchuria outside the Guanhai is strong, it has definitely not reached the point where it can sweep the Ming Dynasty, and it can only be used in a corner of Liaodong where Shanhaiguan is located for decades. In the history that Li Xin is familiar with, the so-called Jurchen invincible myth was really amplified after Li Zicheng conquered Beijing and forced Chongzhen to death. The Ming Dynasty had no leader, coupled with the mistakes in the internal decision-making of the thieves, which allowed the Manchus outside the Guanxi to reap the benefits of the fishermen.

Especially after Li Xin led the Three Guards Army to a big battle with the Manchu Eight Banners in Liaoxi, he confirmed this kind of cognition and judgment. Therefore, Li Xin has told himself countless times that as long as he is in one day, he will never allow the tragedy to happen again. Looking at the current situation, although it is far more chaotic than the history that Li Xin is familiar with, the land of Guanzhong in Shanxi is still in the hands of King Shen and Zuo Liangyu, so as to cut off the connection between Zhang Xianzhong in Sichuan and Li Zicheng in the Central Plains, and at the same time, it also makes Li Zicheng thorn in the back. And Lu Xiangsheng led the army to sit in Shandong, and the king of Shen in Shaanxi was in a left and right attack, which made it difficult for Li Zicheng to move, which also allowed Yang Sichang, who had long been exhausted, to breathe.

As long as we survive this year's drought, if we can have a bumper harvest in the coming year, even if there is a slight lack of harvest, there will still be enough grain to stabilize the displaced people in various provinces. As long as the source of the thieves is cut off, it will be like choking Li Zicheng's neck, and the thief rebellion will be solved.

However, what Li Xin is worried about now is that Lu Xiangsheng has been in Shandong for more than a few months, but he has been unable to open up the north and south of the canal and resume transportation. Zhu Youzhen, who was suspicious and fickle by nature and mean and unkind, once again lost his trust in him, and dismissed him from office and elected someone else. In this way, there is great hope for the revival of the Shandong thieves, and even the 5th Battalion of the Left Reform, which is entrenched in Lianghuai, will take the opportunity to go north to seize the territory. As a result, what seemed to be a stable situation fell to the ground one by one like dominoes.

At that time, Li Zicheng could concentrate all his efforts to take Kaifeng City, which is still standing alone on the south bank of the Great River. Then, the thieves waved their troops westward and marched into Shaanxi to deal with King Shen's army.

This troublesome matter haunts Li Xinxin all day long, and the slightest negligence may cause irreparable consequences, so his pressure is not small. In particular, under the wrestling of opposition forces from all sides in Nanjing, the immediate advantage was obtained, which greatly consumed Li Xin's mental strength.

"Does the Marquis still have concerns?"

Gao Shiming saw that Li Xin had been distracted for a long time, so he couldn't help but ask. After all, he had been Li Xin's supervisor, and that sense of awe had not made it a habit, so in terms of speaking, he had fewer worries than Li Xin's subordinates.

Li Xinchang sighed: "If it weren't for Sun Butang, who was seriously ill and bedridden and couldn't see things, why would Li Xin be so far from Nanjing today?" ”

This layer is ignored by Gao Shiming. Think about the situation in Nanjing, which is indeed the case, the Duke of Wei died without stiffness, and he knew that there would be no resurgence without Li Xin's suppression. and that Sun Jie, Gao Shiming was even more dismissive of Li Xin's statement, even if Sun Jian was healthy and energetic, he could only become a restraining figure like Zhang Fangyan.

In the final analysis, what Li Xin is doing now is tantamount to being outside the imperial court, but how can anyone who is loyal and righteous tolerate this? With his understanding of Sun Chengzong's father and son, the loyalty of these two to the Ming Dynasty is naturally no different. Although the personalities of the father and son are different, Sun Chengzong has experienced decades of ups and downs in the sea, and he has long seen through the accident, and his heart is as hard as iron and stone. In contrast, although the second son of the Sun family is much kinder, he is also a person who is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, if Li Xin is all for the Ming court, he will support and connive at his failure to repair the details even if he is broken.

But once this premise is lost, Gao Shiming thinks that not to mention that Sun Ji is just lying in bed now, even if he enters the coffin, he will jump out and oppose it. Therefore, Gao Shiming didn't believe that Li Xin couldn't see through this, and this set of rhetoric in person was just a show for others.

He is discovering more and more the unfathomable depths of Li Xin, a horse thief, where is this still that vulgar martial artist? Its means are free to be retracted, and even old treacherous and cunning people like Wei Guogong are not defeated by him? It seems that just hugging Li Xin's thighs is at least the right decision for the moment.

Since it was inconvenient for Li Xin to go out, Gao Shiming's heart moved, and he immediately took the initiative to ask for help. "If the Marquis of Zhenju trusts our family, our family can lead the troops south on behalf of the Marquis of Zhenju and punish lawlessness."

Li Xin did not refuse, and readily agreed to Gao Shiming's initiative to ask for help, and at the same time asked him to go back and prepare early, and officially set off with 5,000 troops in three days.

It wasn't until Gao Shiming left the dock that Niu Jinsong came over. Li Xin asked the reason for this with a calm face, and when he saw that the matter had been known to the Hou Zhen, he had no choice but to find out how Gao Shiming secretly went to see Xu Hongji, and how to find out the secret decree before and after.

This made Li Xin quite surprised, in his impression, Niu Jinsong has always been a rough man, but he didn't expect that there was a bit of delicacy, it seems that the matter of letting him supervise the secret agent is really crooked. If it weren't for Gu Shishi's defection to Zhou Yanru and his betrayal of the Three Guards, he would be the best choice, this person is ruthless enough, and he has a keen eye, he is a natural good material, but it's a pity......

"You've done a great job this time, take credit for it!"

Niu Jinsong raised his hand and wiped the back of his head, and said with a smile: "I also did it by feeling, in fact, I still want to lead the troops to fight......

He was actually unhappy with the secret agent errand handed over by the Marquis of Zhen, this kind of secret thing will not be seen after all, how can he gallop on the battlefield and make military merits at the first level? However, Li Xin is too short of manpower around him, the ability is unreliable, and the reliable and incapable are insufficient, so it is a last resort to drive Niu Jinsong to the shelf, but he didn't expect it to be crooked.

And Niu Jinsong was actually just complaining, of course he knew that the Marquis of Zhenyu would not let him go and let him lead his troops to fight before going into battle, otherwise Nanjing would not have its own people? Thinking of his own person, Niu Jinsong thought of another person, and couldn't help but say: "General, Li Shuangcai wants to see you." ”

Niu Jinsong wasn't sure if it was appropriate to mention Li Shuangcai at this time, but he knew that the opportunity was fleeting, and it was rumored that the Marquis of Zhenyu intended to strictly enforce military discipline and military law, and to deal with Li Shuangcai severely, so that his life would inevitably be lost.
