Zufu...

In the secret room, Zu Dashou, Zu Dale, Zu Dacheng, and Zu Dabi's cousins gathered together and sat around the table, their expressions were so solemn and dignified, and the room was filled with a faint atmosphere of tension.

"Big brother, why did you call a few of our brothers over, and they are still so mysterious?"

As Zu Dabi asked this sentence, the other two also turned their eyes to Zu Dashou's body, and their faces were also full of incomprehension.

"Three brothers, didn't you find out?"

Zu Dashou did not answer Zu Dabi's inquiry, but asked such a sentence nonsensically, and without waiting for the three of them to answer, he continued: "In the past year, except for Jiannu constantly shrinking the defensive line, retreating across the Da Liao River, and retreating to the Haizhou area, on the surface, the situation in Liaodong has not changed much. However, anyone with a discerning eye knows that the more than 200,000 Dashun troops led by Li Yan occupy a pivotal role and almost dominate the development of the situation here. ”

"Big brother, what's so strange about this?"

Zu Dale asked noncommittally, with a disapproving face, and then added: "Since the Great Shun Dynasty has won the world, and now it has solved the threat from the south, and completely eliminated the forces left by the previous dynasty on the bright side, of course it will strengthen its control over Liaodong." ”

Immediately afterwards, Zu Dacheng expressed his views one after another, and echoed: "Yes, big brother, it is normal for the imperial court to strengthen its control over Liaodong, what can you worry about?" ”

However, Zu Dashou shook his head again and again, showing a look of helplessness, and changed his words: "Three brothers, don't be confused, in the past year, although our ancestral family is still highly favored and holds important positions in the army, haven't you found out?" Doesn't it feel weird? ”

"Big brother, what did you find?" Zu Dabi blurted out and couldn't help but ask.

Zu Dashou didn't answer, and continued to follow the rhythm of continuing, continuing the topic just now.

"Although we are still generals, the four of you and I are either generals, or lieutenant generals and major generals, Zeyuan, Zepei, and Zefa are also quite high-ranking positions, and they are school officers......"

"Big brother, what's going on? Is there something wrong? ”

Zu Dale couldn't help but interject, asked a few words, and saw the appearance of Zu Dashou Shinto, filled with an uneasy atmosphere, and gradually, he also had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Three younger brothers, you might as well think about it, since he surrendered to the Dashun Dynasty, Li Yan has carried out various army reforms and reorganizations under various pretenses, completely interrupting the original army sequence, and now he can't tell the difference between the Dashun Army and the Guanning Iron Cavalry."

"Big brother, isn't that good?" Zu Dale asked again with a puzzled face, and then added: "In this way, it doesn't just mean that we have integrated into the Dashun army, and we don't have to be excluded, it's good!" ”

"But, Dale, it's the soldiers who blend in, not us."

Zu Dashou sighed faintly, and then continued with some righteous indignation: "This Dashun army is really too unusual, too incomprehensible, although the supervision of the army was abolished, but it also came out of a political commissar, on the surface, the political commissar does not interfere in military operations, but is responsible for the daily affairs of the army, logistics and supply, to a certain extent, it is equivalent to the past supervision army. ”

The three of them were silent, obviously, they had a very deep feeling about the new words and the new official political commissar, and they couldn't say anything bitter in their hearts, and they agreed with Zu Dashou's last sentence, to a certain extent, the political commissar was equivalent to the past supervising army, the former was even worse, more powerful, knew the military, knew how to arrange troops, and couldn't be fooled at all.

Of course, it is undeniable that compared with the past military supervisors, for these commanders, the political commissar is better and can better understand their decision-making, so as not to blindly command and report the military situation indiscriminately.

However, even so, since they had a deputy post called "political commissar", these generals have always felt strange, their prestige has been constantly weakened, and they cannot think of the lawlessness and wanton behavior of the past, just because of the existence of the political commissar, which seriously hinders the commander.

"But, big brother, there's no way about it, Li Yanshi is famous, but he was ordered by the imperial court, and we have nothing to do..."

Zu Dale sighed faintly, as if he realized the seriousness of the problem, he had some kind of speculation in his heart, and his face began to show melancholy, and then he continued earnestly: "Even at the beginning, when our ancestral family was the strongest, it was not the opponent of Li Yan's 200,000 well-equipped army, let alone now? ”

"Big brother, what do you mean, I still haven't understood?" Zu Dabi scratched his head, his face full of incomprehension.

This time, Zu Dashou was not allowed to answer, so Zu Dale preemptively explained: "The meaning of the eldest brother is very simple, I'm afraid that the imperial court is going to act, and the thing we were worried about before is about to happen." ”

"What?" Zu Dabi still didn't react, he was even more embarrassed, and asked again.

"What else could it be?"

Zu Dashou shouted out such a sentence with some dissatisfaction, he couldn't stand his own brother anymore, he was really well-limbed and simple-minded, but in the end he explained: "It's those policies of the imperial court, I'm afraid that in the near future, it will be implemented in Liaodong to fight local tyrants and divide the land." ”

Zu Dabi was stunned, and couldn't help but think of the policies of the imperial court to benefit the people, especially the fight against local tyrants and the division of land, and couldn't help but say to himself: "In this Liaodong, our ancestral family belongs to an absolute famous family, once the land reform is implemented, not only other big families, but also our ancestral family will also suffer?" Can't escape? ”

At this time, Zu Dale seemed to think of something, his heart moved, his face was excited, and he said loudly: "Big brother, since we have no power to return to the sky, we can't change anything, why don't our ancestors follow the example of Zheng Zhilong?" Like the Zheng family, break the wealth and eliminate the disaster? ”

Suddenly, Zu Dashou's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood what Zu Dashou meant, but he still couldn't help but asked with great certainty: "Da Le, what do you mean....?" ”

"Big brother, what I mean is very simple, money is something outside the body, if it's gone, it's gone, with the money given by the court now, it's enough for our families to live, a little more restrained, spending money is no longer so extravagant, and life can still be very good."

"Moreover, the previous situation of the Zheng family was much worse than that of our ancestral family, since the emperor can let them go and give them amnesty, our ancestral family will only be strong and not weak."

At this time, Zu Dacheng, who had never spoken much, spoke.

"Big brother, don't ignore one point, compared to Zheng Zhilong, our ancestral family doesn't have much capital to negotiate, and it won't make the imperial court jealous, once the land reform is implemented in Liaodong, we have no ability to stop it at all. In this case, it is better to take the initiative to show favor and give up those things outside the body, but it can win the favor of the imperial court. ”
