Qian Qianyi, the leader of Donglin for many years, fell, and the Ming political arena was like experiencing an earthquake. Everyone who understands knows that this is the Donglin Party losing the car and protecting the handsome. Throw Qian Qianyi out to calm the people's anger and ensure that the Donglin Party can continue to control the imperial court.

Almost at the same time, an earthquake comparable to the fall of Qian Qianyi occurred in Jinan to the north.

"Say it again, what the hell happened?" Li Xiao felt that he had heard it wrong, and his eyes were nailed to Li Xiu.

"Wu Sangui led people to raid Phi Dao, killing many people and taking away many people and some equipment. The rest of the equipment was blown up, and they were doing something that happened to have a transport ship to load gunpowder. Seeing that the smoke did not land, Wu Sangui's bastard actually led someone to catch up. killed and injured many people on the transport ship, and the captain was Liu Laoliu's nephew. It's a good way to handle the water, otherwise the news won't come back now. ”

Li Xiu was a little angry when he spoke, and when the news came back. Li Xiu sent a five-masted ship to chase after him, but he also knew that in the vast sea, Wu Sangui was determined to run, and he really didn't know where to chase.

"Damn it!" Li Xiao slammed his fist on the table.

Phi Dao's gunpowder production base has always been in charge of the sledgehammer. Now nitric acid gunpowder is Li Xiao's only advantage, and it is precisely with this advantage that Li Xiao can still suppress them even though the Jiangnan Forbidden Army and the Eight Banners have made great progress in firearms.

Now the biggest reliance was lost by Wu Sangui, a bastard, and Li Xiao wanted to pick Wu Sangui's skin.

"I'll inform Cao Wenzhao now, let him take the third division to the capital to arrest Wu Xiang and Zu Dashou, the two old thieves." Li Xiu's face was as hideous as a jackal and as vicious as a wolf.

"No way!" To Li Xiu's surprise, Li Xiao actually objected.

"Big brother, Wu Sangui did such a thing. Without him, he has Lao Tzu and his uncle Zu Dashou's mastermind, how dare he do this? I'm afraid that at this time, they have already killed Yuan Chonghuan in the capital. Wrong! Yuan Chonghuan and Zu Dashou have always had a good relationship, they wear a pair of pants. Perhaps, they are now planning to collude with Qian Qianyi, or with Huang Taiji. ”

"Don't talk nonsense! Qian Qianyi is finished, the flying pigeon has reported that Qian Qianyi has been arrested, and Jinling City is now in chaos. As for Huang Taiji, I don't really believe in Zu Dashou, but I still believe in Yuan Chonghuan's integrity. ”

"That'...... Big brother, what can I do now? You can't ......! ”

"You make me think!" Li Xiao's mind is now in a mess, and there seems to be a fog lingering in front of him, and no matter how hard he tries, he can't see through it.

"Who knows about this?"

"After the cargo ship was damaged, it docked at the Arthur wharf, and I have sent a five-masted ship out to find it. I hope I can find it, but I was afraid that the news would leak out, so I didn't even dare to write a letter, and I ran all the way from Penglai on horseback. ”

"Good! You handled this matter well. You immediately get up and go to Tianjinwei, where we have our ammunition stockpile. I have sealed the ammunition hoarding point, and no one is allowed to take a single bullet without my warrant. ”

"No!"

"I'll write two letters, you find a cronie and send it to Yuan Chonghuan."

When Li Xiu heard Li Xiao say this, his eyes immediately lit up. Is this to let Yuan Chonghuan arrest Zu Dashou and Wu Xiang?

"Another letter, you also find a cronie to send to Zu Dashou. However, the arrival time of the two people in the capital was staggered by one day. ”

"Big brother! You're ......! Li Xiu was a little puzzled, and if Yuan Chonghuan killed Zu Dashou and Wu Xiang, he had to do it secretly. Why did you write a letter to Zu Dashou? What if Zu Dashou is prepared and runs away with his subordinates? The second cavalry division is all cavalry, and the infantry under Yuan Chonghuan can't catch up with Zu Dashou no matter what.

"Go on an errand, you don't have to worry about the rest."

"No!"

Wu Sangui, Wu Sangui, you really have a backbone in the back of your head.

This kind of thing did not dare to use flying pigeons to pass the book, Li Xiao wrote a few letters respectively, and sent capable people to Shanhaiguan and Ao Canghai in Liaodong. Almost at the same time, Man Gui, who was confronting Zhang Xianzhong's troops in Heze, suddenly retreated. Cao Wenzhao's 3rd Division began to distribute ammunition and dry rations, and the quartermaster was desperately collecting wagons.

Zhang Huangyan took Zhu Yihai, the king of Lu, from Yanzhou. But you can't go to the capital now, you can only live in Jinan first. Unexpected events disrupted all the plans designed by the top brass of the Liao army.

"Boy, do you think this matter has nothing to do with Zu Dashou or even Wu Xiang?" Sun Chengzong smoked a cigarette, and Zhang Huangyan also smoked. Old Chen Fu didn't know where to get a corn cob pipe, or he was smoking.

The study was full of smoke, and Li Xiao helplessly inhaled second-hand smoke and looked at a few old guys.

"If it is related to Zu Dashou and Wu Xiang, their second division will take corresponding actions. However, the Second Division has not taken any action now, but is very active in cooperating with the reorganization. Split several regiments of the Second Division into various divisions, this is Zu Dashou's family background. He couldn't bear to dismantle it like this, which was enough to show that this matter had nothing to do with Zu Dashou or even Wu Xiang. ”

"Lord! It is very likely that Zu Dashou was dissatisfied with the reorganization, so he instigated Wu Sangui to do this. "Old Chen Fu has always looked at people at the worst, Zhang Huangyan nodded on the side, it was obvious that he agreed with Old Chen Fu's statement. Without Zu Dashou's approval, he would not dare to do such a thing with Wu Sangui's eight guts.

"What I just said is a valid reason, now let's talk about the untenable reason. That's my trust in Zu Dashou! When Li Xiao said this, everyone looked at Li Xiao.

It's all the gunpowder factory, and you still trust it?

"Lord! This matter can't be sloppy, and the country can't be without a king for a day. The Jiangnan side must also be looking for the prince of the near branch to inherit the unification, and we can't delay the matter of supporting the king of Lu. If we can't rush to the capital to ascend the throne as soon as possible, and the emperor is set up first, we will be passive. Zhang Huangyan is more concerned about whether Zhu Yihai can successfully ascend the throne.

"Three days! There will be news within three days, whether it is Zu Dashou or not, there will be news within three days. Li Xiao raised three fingers and looked at a room full of old smoking guns.

Since Li Xiao said this, everyone kept their mouths shut. Anyway, it's three days, just three days.

Suddenly, the door curtain was lifted and a straight child walked in. It seemed that he was not used to the choking smoke in the house, so he coughed and approached Li Xiao.

"Dashuai, Zu Dashou and Wu Xiang are here."

"Oh, how many people did you bring?" Li Xiao was very surprised, he had walked this broken road a few days ago. I walked slowly and slowly for five days in a carriage before wandering from the capital to Jinan. Two days after this ancestor's birthday, he hurried from the capital to Jinan? It is worthy of being born in cavalry, this speed.

"Each of them brought two stables, and a total of four people." After Junko's words were finished, the room immediately fell silent.

The old foxes looked at each other and continued to pretend to be dumb and smoke. At this time, he brought four people to Jinan, either to commit suicide or to show his loyalty.

"Let them in." Li Xiao glanced at it, and just now he didn't believe that this matter had nothing to do with Zu Dashou Wu Xiang.

Soon Zu Dashou and Wu Xiang walked in and saw Li Xiao sitting in the middle of the study. Zu Dashou didn't say a word, and knelt on the ground with a "poof", and Wu Xiang next to him also knelt on the ground.

"Handsome! If there is a disobedient child in the family, his father and my uncle are responsible. Today, I just asked the marshal to give us a good time. Damn, doing such a rebellious thing, our buddies have no face to live. After Zu Dashou finished speaking, he took out his short sword and handed it to Li Xiao with both hands. Wu Xiang next to him did the same!

They didn't have any guns with them, and the swords on their belts were purely ornamental.

"Hey!" Li Xiao glanced at Zu Dashou and Wu Xiang, who were kneeling on the ground, holding the sword of honor in both hands, and let out a long sigh.

"We're here just now, and we're still discussing your affairs. A few old gentlemen said, "You two want to rebel." I advise you to send troops now and wipe out all your men. I told them, I believe in your ancestor Dashou and Wu Xiang. Now it looks like I'm right. Get up! Li Xiao stretched out his hand and helped Zu Dashou up.
