After receiving the holy decree of Chongzhen, Li Xingzhi invited Xue Guoguan and others to the Laizhou Mansion Banquet, because of Laiden's grass creation, this banquet is also ordinary, full of chicken, duck, fish and some seafood.

Wang Chengen and Xue Guoguan didn't care, people in this position didn't care about eating and drinking at all, what they cared about was fame and fortune.

Wang Zhong, Ma Sande, Lang Shaozhen and other generals of the Jingbei Army were feasting and drinking.

There were many military generals on the side, and Xue Guoguan and others were inconvenient to mention official affairs, so they only asked about the construction of Laizhou and Dengzhou.

Wang Chengen was a little curious about how Leiden could feed so many people, resume spring ploughing, dig reservoirs, and build roads.

"Wang Gonggong, you don't know, after the Dongyu entered Shandong, a large number of people poured to Laizhou, our Laizhou was already dilapidated by the scourge of Kong, there is no money and food to feed them, fortunately Peng Laibo intercepted the money and grain looted by Ni Pet in Jinan, these money and grain are actually owned by the Dewang Mansion, Li Shuai did not dare to occupy it, so he gave the money and grain to the lower officials, the lower officials have given an IOU to the Dewang Wang, and there will be a harvest in the future, but they will return the original to the Dewang Mansion, so I have to ask the father-in-law to say a few kind words in front of His Majesty, Exempt us from paying taxes for five years, otherwise if King De is mad, the lower officials will not be able to afford it. ”

When Wang Chengen came on behalf of the emperor, he would definitely ask about the situation of King De, and Li Xingzhi, Qian Tianxi and others had already thought about how to deal with it.

"Where is King De now?"

mentioned King De, Wang Chengen couldn't help but ask about the whereabouts of King De, whether it was a pro-vassal of the country, if there was a mistake, it would not be good.

Li Xingzhi beat his chest and cried, "Princess, the end will be bitter!" His Royal Highness King De was rescued by the last general to Laizhou, because of the destruction of Leiden, the last general had to ask King De to temporarily live in Dengzhou Danya Mountain Penglai Pavilion, His Royal Highness King De did not live well, after going, every day he talked about to visit Xianshan, and said that anyway, the mansion in Jinan has been plagued by the East Captives, he wants to find Xianshan, and let the last general build a palace for him at sea! ”

"Ugh! King De is still in Penglai Pavilion? ”

Wang Chengen was a little confused, Li Xingzhi said what he said to visit Xianshan, he really believed it, if he didn't believe it, he couldn't believe it, after all, there were many strange things in the old Zhu family, and there were several emperors who wanted to become immortals.

"The last general was still there when he left, but a few days ago, he took His Royal Highness the Prince of the World every day, pestering the Dengzhou Navy Master to guerrilla Su Guodong, and the last general was unbearable, so he came to Laizhou, maybe this will already go to sea."

After saying that, Li Xingzhi paused, and then whispered: "King De is still a trivial matter, the last general received a scout report a few days ago, it is said that the remnants of Yue Tuo attacked Yanzhou, and the Yansheng Mansion was attacked, it is rumored that there are more than 10,000 Tartar soldiers and horses, and the last general wanted to send troops, but the soldiers under his command have been fighting in a row, and they are already tired, and it is not enough to fight with the Dongyu field, if the Holy Father is lost, I am afraid that the world will be shaken!" ”

After all, King De is a pro-vassal of the country, if Wang Chengen insists on going to Dengzhou, although Li Xingzhi can transfer the Dewang Mansion and the Kong family in advance, but there are hundreds of people in the royal family, it is impossible for the King of Germany to take all of them to the sea, in case of leakage of news, it will inevitably cause unnecessary trouble, in order to stop Wang Chengen, it can only lead to trouble, and use the fact that Confucius Mansion was looted by the Eastern Capture Army to attract Wang Chengen's attention.

"Clang, clang!"

Two sounds of porcelain shattering sounded.

Xue Guoguan and Liu Lishun couldn't hold the wine glass in their hands in shock, and slipped to the floor.

"What did you say, the Tartars attacked the Confucian Mansion?"

Wang Chengen's face was also shocked, Confucius Mansion is the holy land of the people of the world, and the Holy Duke of Yan is the head of the sect of the world.

Li Xingzhi looked around and sighed: "Pavilion Elder, this is not the place for Wang Gonggong to speak, let's go to the flower hall to serve tea!" ”

"Hmmm! That's what Peng Laibo said. ”

Xue Guoguan said that there are many people here, and it is not good if the news is leaked.

After entering the flower hall, without waiting for everyone to sit down, Xue Guoguan spoke: "Li Shuai, do you know where the remnants of Dongyu will go out of the customs?" The pavilion should report to the imperial court and ask King Qin's army to immediately block the wall, and it may be possible to block their way back to the north. ”

Liu Lishun sighed: "Prime minister, the army of King Qin is definitely not a problem, the Qin army is tired from afar, and now it is hoarded in Changping, I am afraid it is not the opponent of Dongyu, and the Guanning army is even more unbearable, and Zu Kuan, the general soldier of the reinforcement and suppression, has been imprisoned, and now going to war is tantamount to self-destruction!" ”

Li Xingzhi said with a smile: "Pavilion old don't be in a hurry, Donglu can't go to the Ningjin defense line after leaving the customs, according to the general's estimation that his army will inevitably detour through Mongolia to return to Shenyang, travel more than 1,000 miles, and carry a large number of people and materials, I can't get to Liaodong in two months, I Dengzhou is only more than 300 miles away from Lushun by sea, and we can reach Liaodong in two or three days. ”

"Alas, the pseudo-king Yuetuo has been cut by the emperor, otherwise he can be exchanged for the Holy Father, if he goes to Liaodong, how sure is Penglaibo?"

Wang Chengen sighed and set out to Shenyang, which was a tiger's den and wolf's den, and once it was lost, the Leyden army might not be able to come back.

"Princess, this town is still the same sentence, do your best to obey the destiny of heaven, my Leiden army has 3,000 elite soldiers, although the attack is insufficient, there is no problem in self-preservation, as long as there are enough sea ships, this town will fight fast and slow, and there is no possibility of defeat."

Xue Guoguan said: "Li Shuai, the safety of the Holy Father, is related to the heart of the world's sergeants, sea ships, this pavilion can transfer some of them from Tianjin and Nandu, if they can't be saved, they can't be coerced to Shenyang." ”

"Elder Xue Ge, this ......!"

Wang Chengen and Liu Lishun all looked at Xue Guoguan in disbelief.

Xue Guoguan's meaning is obvious, Yan Shenggong is just a tablet of the imperial court, and it can be sealed again if he dies, but this tablet must not enter Shenyang and cannot be used by the Tartars.

Li Xingzhi was slandered, Xue Guoguan's abacus was very fine, this is to let himself be a substitute for the dead ghost, if the matter is revealed in the future, anyway, it is you Li Xingzhi who is carrying the knife, and I Xue Guoguan has nothing to do with half a penny.

"Xue Ge Lao means that the last general can save it, but it is a matter of life and death for my Jingbei army, all sea ships must be handed over to the Dengzhou Navy Division, and in addition, the fifty bird ships mentioned by the last general, and one hundred transport ships must be available."

Li Xingzhi's meaning is very simple, if you want the horses to run, you must let the horses eat grass, Lao Tzu is born and dies, and you have to carry the black pot for you, then you Xue Ge boss has to solve the problem of this sea ship for Ben Shuai.

"Li Shuai, the bird ships are all in Fujian, although the pirate Zheng Zhilong said that he was appeased by the imperial court, but he may not accept the order of the imperial court, and besides, from Fujian to Dengzhou for thousands of miles, between this back and forth, I am afraid that the main force of the eastern captives will return to Liaodong."

Xue Guoguan was a little depressed, he also knew that Li Xingzhi was the master who didn't see rabbits and didn't scatter eagles, but the Tianjin Sailor and the Yangtze River Sailor added up to more than 20 lucky boats, and the rest were basically ordinary sand boats.

Li Xingzhi said: "Xue Ge Lao, the ships of Tianjin and the Yangtze River can be transferred to Dengzhou first, as for when our army will move, it depends on when the imperial court's holy decree goes south, and it's a big deal that Ben Shuai, Peng Laibo, will not be ceded to Zheng Zhilong." ”
