At midnight, in the back house of Aoki Akishin's mansion, in the bedroom.

Li Yuntian sat in front of the oil lamp and checked the official document in his hand, Liu Wenqing held a fan on the side and gently fanned him, and gently wiped the sweat beads on his forehead with his hand from time to time.

For Liu Wenqing, a northerner, the summer of Xiaoliuqiu Island is too hot, she used to think that Nanzhili was hot enough, but compared to the weather of Xiaoliuqiu Island, it is simply a drop in the bucket.

However, despite the hot summers on Xiaoliuqiu Island, there are many novel fruits and flowers on the island, which make Liu Wenqing feast her eyes and mouth.

"Xianggong, it's not early, go to bed and rest, there are still many things to be busy tomorrow." After yawning, Liu Wenqing looked up at the sky outside the window, and said softly to Li Yuntian.

"Thank you for your hard work." Li Yuntian came back to his senses when he heard this, stretched lazily and smiled at Liu Wenqing.

"This is what a concubine should do." Liu Wenqing shook her head disappreciatively, and then instructed the maid standing on the side, "Go and prepare water, the prince will take a bath later." ”

"Yes." The maid blessed Liu Wenqing and left quickly to prepare.

Due to the hot weather, the attendants quickly prepared cold water for Li Yuntian in the side room, Liu Wenqing originally wanted to serve Li Yuntian to take a bath, but was pulled by Li Yuntian into the bathtub to bathe together, and the maids serving on the side left with a smile.

"Qing'er, Xianggong feels that the matter of Ningbo City Bosi this time is not simple, it seems that someone is deliberately manipulating behind the scenes, wanting Xianggong to target the Japanese country." After a lot of clouds and rain, Li Yuntian sat on the wall of the tub, holding Liu Wenqing in his arms and closing his eyes.

"Xianggong, the concubine also feels that this matter is quite strange, Aoki Mingxin and Shanhai Mitsutaka are not stupid enough to provoke our martial arts." Liu Wenqing's cheeks flushed with two touches of redness, quietly snuggling on Li Yuntian's chest, it was most comfortable to take a cold bath in this hot weather, and she didn't want to leave the bathtub.

"But it's okay to do this, give Xianggong a reason to deal with the Japanese State, if you want to snatch away those goods from Ningbo City, which is not something that a big name of the Japanese State can do, there must be several people involved." A smile appeared at the corner of Li Yuntian's mouth, "As for the initiator, as long as you find those big names who have been used by him, you can know who he is." ”

"Xianggong, why did this person do this?" Liu Wenqing closed her eyes and asked softly, enjoying this rare moment to the fullest, she and Li Yuntian get together less and leave more, and she doesn't know when she will see each other next time, so she cherishes the time with Li Yuntian very much.

"One is hatred, and the other is profit." Li Yuntian pondered for a moment and replied lightly, "The other party either has an enmity with me, or has an enmity with those daimyo who are involved in this matter, or they covet the power of a daimyo and want to take this opportunity to kill people with a knife and let us help him get rid of that daimyo." ”

"Xianggong, apart from Lu Tianxing, who has so much hatred for you, and who has such the ability to mobilize those big names?" Hearing that Li Yuntian said that the other party might be his enemy, Liu Wenqing couldn't help but open her eyes, looked up at him in some surprise and asked.

In Liu Wenqing's view, it is by no means an idle person who can secretly contribute to the attack of the Japanese invaders on Ningbo City, but Li Yuntian has not had a conflict with the Japanese invaders before, and it stands to reason that no one in the Japanese will do this, and it is not a wise move to offend Li Yuntian.

"Xiang Gong has thought about it carefully, if the other party really has an enmity with Xiang Gong, then nine times out of ten it is because of the matter of the two Huai Yan Dao." Li Yuntian smiled when he heard this, and explained to Liu Wenqing, "Xianggong swept the officialdom of the Lianghuai Salt Road back then, and brought those corrupt officials and greedy salt merchants to justice. ”

"Xianggong, do you think the other party might be who?" Liu Wenqing nodded thoughtfully, she has been in Nanzhili for many years, and she knows that the relationship between Jiangnan officialdom and the business community is complicated, and many local officials and businessmen secretly collude with the Japanese and use smuggling for personal gain, so what Li Yuntian said is quite reasonable.

"This case is too involved, it is inevitable that there will be fish that slip through the net, and the prime minister will not be able to guess who he is." Li Yuntian heard that Liu Wenqing's tone was full of concern, so he smiled disapprerovingly and said, "As the saying goes, the soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth, Xianggong is not afraid of his moves, and his fox tail will always be grabbed by Xianggong." ”

"Xianggong, I'm afraid he would never have thought that he originally wanted to make trouble for Xianggong, but it became a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Xianggong to deal with the Japanese country." Liu Wenqing also laughed, as long as the other party failed to persuade the Empress Dowager Zhang to get rid of Li Yuntian, then Li Yuntian didn't need to worry, if the other party was more strategic and strong, the other party was definitely not Li Yuntian's opponent.

"Let him be complacent first, and when the prime minister frees his hands, he will definitely repair him." Li Yuntian smiled slightly, then closed his eyes and took a nap, recovering Xiaoliuqiu Island is only the first step in the strategy of pacifying the Japanese, and the next step is to emigrate to Xiaoliuqiu Island, which is a huge project.

Liu Wenqing knew that Li Yuntian was thinking about things, so she shrunk in Li Yuntian's arms, and fell asleep sweetly with Li Yuntian's arms, and the room was quiet for a while.

On the morning of the next day, Li Yuntian summoned the military attache of the Ming Army's naval division to the living room of the mansion to arrange the follow-up matters on Xiaoliuqiu Island, and the personnel of the naval division would officially be stationed in Jilong Town, and use Jilong Town as a base to advance to the southern part of Xiaoliuqiu Island.

To this end, a military camp will be built in the town of Jilong for troops to be stationed, and at the same time, Jilong Port will become an important military port on Xiaoliuqiu Island.

"Lord Wang, Zhao Siguo is here." Just as Li Yuntian was assigning tasks to the military attachés, a guard came in and said.

"Let him in." Li Yuntian nodded to the guard when he heard this, it was he who asked Zhao Siguo to call over, because the Ming army sailor did not chase and kill the people of Jicoo Town who fled into the mountains to hide yesterday, so it was time for Zhao Siguo to go into the mountains to find those people.

"Knock on the prince." Zhao Siguo didn't come alone, and the middle-aged man who was about to give birth yesterday also followed, and both knelt in front of Li Yuntian after entering the door.

"Get up." Li Yuntian raised his hand upwards to the void between the two, and said to Zhao Siguo quietly, "Today, take the official document I gave you to the mountains to find the villagers, and for the sake of safety, I will send a team of people to protect you." ”

"The villain understands that he must let them all come back." Zhao Siguo bowed to Li Yuntian when he heard this, and replied loudly.

At this moment, Zhao Siguo was already fully convinced in his heart that the Ming army sailors would not use their heads to ask the court for merit this time, because it was inconvenient for him and the middle-aged people who stayed in the town to cook yesterday, so they ate with the Ming army sailors.

Originally, Zhao Siguo and the others thought that the people of the Ming army and the sailors could just give them some leftovers and cold soup, after all, their identities belonged to the pardoned messengers, but what they didn't expect was that they actually ate the same meal as the people of the navy, and what they didn't expect was that the meals of the Ming army's sailors were very rich, not only white rice but also meat dishes.

This was simply a surprise to Zhao Siguo and his entourage, they never imagined that the treatment of the Ming army's sailors would be so good, and it was undoubtedly a holiday for those of them who could only be fed with fish and meat and rarely ate white rice.

Moreover, the people of the Ming Army's Sailor Division were also very friendly to Zhao Siguo and others, and they were full of sympathy, and they had no idea of killing the good and risking merit at all, after all, the soldiers of the Sailor Division were all military households recruited by Li Yuntian from the coastal guards, and they fully understood the hardships of Zhao Siguo and others leaving their hometowns, which made them secretly relieved.

Now the mountains are hot and humid, there are many mosquitoes, and some poisonous insects, so Zhao Siguo doesn't want his family and fellow villagers to suffer in the mountains, so he naturally can't wait to find them back.

"Lord Wang, thanks to the blessing of the prince, with the help of the medical officer, the villain's concubine gave birth to a son, and the villain thanked the prince for his great kindness." After Zhao Siguo took over the errand to go into the mountain to find someone, the middle-aged man kowtowed to Li Yuntian happily, and then said solemnly, "The villain has nothing to repay, and is ready to go into the mountain with Brother Zhao to bring the villagers back." ”

"Congratulations on your happy son." Li Yuntian immediately laughed when he heard this, he already knew that the middle-aged man's name was Shen Wancai, he was a private school in Jilong Town, and his wife had not been able to spread out when he was only thirty years old, so he married a concubine under the persuasion of his wife, and he didn't expect to get pregnant soon and give birth to a big fat boy.

"This is all a blessing brought by the prince, if it weren't for the presence of the doctor, maybe their mother and son wouldn't have lived." Shen Wancai's face showed a hint of fear, yesterday when his concubine gave birth, he had a difficult birth, but fortunately, the female medical officer of the Ming Army Navy came to help deliver the baby, which made the mother and child safe.

Moreover, the female medical officer later stewed chicken soup for Shen Wancai's concubine to replenish her body, you must know that the domestic animals in the town were either taken to the mountains by the fleeing people or were taken away by the escaped widows to take the opportunity to eat, and the female medical officer was able to find a chicken to stew soup for Shen Wancai's concubine, which made Shen Wancai's heart very moved, and his good impression of the Ming army's sailors doubled.

Because he thought that the Ming army sailors would not hurt the people in the town, and at the same time to repay the kindness of the Ming army sailors, Shen Wancai decided to go to the mountains with Zhao Siguo to call people, not only to help the Ming army sailors, but also to keep the villagers from being outcast.

"Since this is the case, then you should go with him, tell the people in the mountains that the Ming Dynasty will set up a prefecture and county on Xiaoliuqiu Island, and those who come back first will receive relief from the government first, and the relief is limited, and if you come late, there will be no more." Li Yuntian felt that it was also a good thing for Shen Wancai to follow Zhao Siguo, so he groaned and said.

In Li Yuntian's opinion, Mr. Shen Wancai is the private school in the town and is respected by the residents of the town, and it is easier for the people to believe his words, so if he is there, things will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.

As for the issue of relief, it was an excuse for Li Yuntian to temporarily scare the people hiding in the mountains, wanting them to return to the town as soon as possible, so that the Ming army's sailors could also complete the pacification and resettlement of the people of Jilong Town as soon as possible.

"The villain wrote it down." Shen Wancai nodded to Li Yuntian, and then left quickly with Zhao Siguo, preparing to go into the mountain to find someone related matters.

Li Yuntian now doesn't care whether the two can succeed, the Ming army naval division still has three ports to recover, from north to south is the northwest Tamsui Port, the western North Port, and the southern Dayuan Port, these three places are the main gathering places of the Japanese Bandits, so the Ming Army Naval Division can not be careless, and must be treated cautiously.
