After seeing Chen Wei and Li Zhi, Zhao Mengqi didn't have to be idle, so he quietly lay on his stomach to review and deal with the official report.

At this time, he was looking at the return sent by Qianlong from Quanzhou.

The above roughly means that Qianlong and his team arrived in Quanzhou the day before yesterday and successfully entered Zicheng, and the local situation is very calm at present.

Within 30 miles of the state city, there are no bandits, and the people's livelihood and commerce inside and outside the city have also returned to normal, as if they have returned to before the chaos.

After reading it, Zhao Mengqi's expression was a little solemn.

Because judging from Li Zhi's explanation, Quanzhou is actually the base camp of the "Anti-Yan Group" this time.

Since the establishment of the Fujian City Shipping Division in the second year of Yuan You, in the past 170 years, the sea trade has prospered the economy of Quanzhou at the same time, but also strengthened the power of the gentry.

In the nineteenth year of Shaoxing, the imperial court implemented the meridian boundary in Fujian, and Fuzhou, as the place of governance all the way, obediently complied with it and successfully completed the meridian boundary.

But when it was Quanzhou's turn, suddenly a person named He Baiqi launched an "uprising" in southern Fujian, so Zhao Jiumei had to issue an order, "Strike the boundary of Quan, Zhang, and Tingzhou".

Since then, the loss of land in Quanzhou has become increasingly serious, and when Zhendexiu was appointed as the governor of Quanzhou, it was found that the huge land of a state only had 40,000 stone tax grain a year, which was not as good as two Zhejiang roads and a county.

Subsequently, Zhu Xi, Chen Gongliang and others proposed to restore the Quanzhou meridian boundary, and the imperial court issued an edict to implement it, but it immediately aroused huge resistance and had to be aborted.

Zhu Xi not only failed to do anything, but also lost his official position because of it, and his reputation was ruined.

This shows how strong the gentry of Quanzhou are.

Moreover, these people's eyes are not only on the fields, but also on the market trade, to the detriment of the public and private, which is why the city tax has dropped so seriously.

For them, King Yan's anti-merger in the meridian realm is to dig up their lifeline, and it is also a big bad thing to make a stream for development.

First of all, the benefits of Liuqiu have been almost divided among other local forces, and they don't have much meat to eat.

Quanzhou will inevitably become an important base for development and flow, and will be valued and concerned by the imperial court and all parties, and the pattern of interests in Quanzhou will inevitably be broken and rebuilt.

Therefore, in their eyes, King Yan is 10,000 times more hateful than killing his father and enemies, so it is naturally the opposite.

Although the rebellion set off this time was a little stronger, it was just a repetition of the old tricks.

However, Zhao Mengqi believes that they are definitely not only this little means, nor can they just stop fighting, so they must be brewing other actions now.

What exactly will they do?

Zhao Mengqi thought for a while, but he didn't have a clue.

Forget it, the soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth.

Shaking his head, feeling a little thirsty, he shouted casually, but he didn't hear Qian Duo's response.

When I turned my head, the girl fell asleep on the table, so I didn't want to wake her up.

After feeling it carefully, he didn't find anything abnormal in his body, and his back didn't hurt anymore, so Zhao Mengqi decided to get up by himself.

After standing up with both feet on the ground, there was really no problem, and I couldn't help but stretch my waist.

Then I felt something fall down from my back, and when I turned my head, I saw that there were pieces of blood scabs scattered on the ground.

Yo, my wound has healed?

Zhao Mengqi was a little surprised, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

Walking barefoot to the table, I couldn't help laughing when I saw Qian Duo blowing a snot bubble on the end of his nose and a big puddle of saliva flowing from the corner of his mouth.

As long as this girl doesn't speak, most of the time she is still very cute......

After laughing for a while, he lifted the teapot and poured water to drink.

Maybe it was the sound of putting down the teapot that woke Qian Duo up.

She sat up suddenly, snot bubbles exploding, "Ah, why are you up!?"

"You sleep like a pig, I can't die of thirst, so I have to get up and pour water and drink it."

Zhao Mengqi shrugged his shoulders and drank the water slowly.

"Oh...... Yes? Where am I like a pig, you are like!" Qian Duo snorted angrily.

Zhao Mengqi glanced at her, "Why don't you look at the pool of saliva on the table first, and then find a mirror to look at your little flower face......

"Yikes! Damn it!" Qian Duo's face turned red instantly, and he hurriedly ran to wash his face.

After drying his face, he found that Zhao Mengqi was standing at the window looking out, so he immediately scolded, "After drinking water, hurry back and lie on your stomach, forget that you are still recuperating from your injuries, right?"

Zhao Mengqi didn't reply, "I've already recovered, what kind of injury do I have?"

"I believe you're a ghost...... Qian Duo walked over, ready to drag Zhao Mengqi back to the bed, and then saw the situation on his back and was frightened, "The scar on your back... Why did it drop so much?"

"It's going to fall off when it grows, what's so weird?" After Zhao Mengqi finished speaking, he also did a few chest expansion exercises.

Then Qian Duo saw more blood scab fragments falling down, and hurriedly took a closer look, feeling incredulous and couldn't help but stretch out his finger to touch it.

As soon as I touched it, a large blood scab fell again.

"Huh? It's really good, this new skin is tender and white, it's really fun...... Haha, you're like a turtle with a white shell on your back now......

This girl is really heartless......

Zhao Mengqi turned his head and knocked on Qian Duo's head, "Can you speak!?" If you're so idle, why don't you pack up those documents?"

"Play and you won't die...... Why are you so fierce...... It's like a turtle......

Qian Duo rubbed his skull and muttered to clean up the papers scattered on the couch.

happened to see the report written by Qian Long, so he said casually, "This guy Qian Long ran to the flower world in Quanzhou, and no one cared about it, it was like a rat falling into the rice tank......

Zhao Mengqi shook his head disapprehantly, the rice jar is not necessarily filled with rice, I hope Quanzhou can really calm down until the follow-up army arrives.

His gaze, with a little worry, was looking in the direction of Quanzhou.

Quanzhou City, after expansion, at this time there are four city walls of "Yacheng, Zicheng, Luocheng, and Silla City", and the registered population in the city is 200,000.

At this time, Uncle Xie Fang, with Qian Long, Zhou Mi and others, was patrolling the city wall of Zicheng.

From the moment he entered the city, Uncle Xie Fang handed over the defense of Zicheng to these more than 700 reinforcements.

Although the Left Wing Army has been reorganized, there are still many of its original members, and most of the officers who were directly born in the eighth class have gone to Liuqiu.

So at this very moment, Uncle Xie Fang naturally preferred to trust the people sent by King Yan.

Seven hundred people is not much, but it is enough to defend the sub-city.

After a round of inspection, not only were the soldiers of the right army of Ma Si well-trained and full of morale, but even the recruits of the Eastern Guard seemed to be stronger than the left wing army that they had trained.

I didn't expect King Yan to be so good at training, he is really capable of anything.

Uncle Xie Fang couldn't help but sigh, his heart became much more steady, and he felt that he could finally sleep peacefully.

Then he looked at Zhou Mi beside him, "Gongjin, the supplies to Liuqiu are ready, right?"

Zhou Mi smiled and said, "Please rest assured, the lower official has repeatedly confirmed that the inspection has been carried out, and there is no problem with the military supplies, grain and grass, and they have all been delivered to the water barracks, and they can leave on time tomorrow."

"That's good, if you hadn't come, I don't know how long it would have to be delayed......" Uncle Xie Fang relieved himself.

On Liuqiu Island, there are not only the left wing army responsible for the front station, but also more than 5,000 early immigrants, and all the materials are basically transported from Quanzhou, and the water army camp is responsible for this task.

The naval battalion also belonged to the Left Wing Army, with more than 40 ships and more than 500 soldiers.

When Quanzhou's troops were empty, Uncle Xie Fang naturally didn't dare to send them out easily, but now he didn't have this concern.

Unloading the burden of his heart, Uncle Xie Fang walked down the city wall.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that Chen Lei, the commander of the water military camp, was not in the military village at the moment, but was sitting in the hall of the Pu family.

At this time, Quanzhou is a veritable international metropolis.

"Merchants from all over the sea, people from ten states in the market", all kinds of foreign personnel settled in Quanzhou and took root.

It's just that they generally live in the "Fan Fang" outside the city, and the "Fan Chief" selected by themselves is responsible for daily management, and they can also build churches and temples.

However, the tolerance of the Chinese people may not be able to exchange for the loyalty of these aliens, and of course, the people of their own race may not be loyal.

At this time, among the large group of people gathered in the Pu family, there were not only the leaders of the merchants, but also the powerful gentry.

The head of the hall sits, the one on the right who looks like an eagle is Pu Shougeng, and the left is the head of the Quanzhou clan who stayed in the family, Liuyuanman.

Stay in the ancestors of the family to follow the effect, in the time of the Wang family of Fujian, is Quanzhou scattered commander, after the establishment of the Song Dynasty, he will be called the domain, since then the family has been rich and noble, a proper family.

And Liuyuanman's grandfather Liuzheng, the official to sign the Privy Council, Zuo Prime Minister, Young Master, Guanwendian University Scholar, etc., was named the Duke of Wei, and the three dynasties of Xiaozong, Guangzong, and Ningzong were worthy of the name.

It is said that Liuzheng is still a good official in general, except for the anti-war and a slight suspicion of not taking responsibility, he is mostly praised.

However, this does not mean that Liujia will not annex and not make profits, on the contrary, in the past 300 years, Liujia is the largest landlord in Quanzhou.

And Pu Shougeng is a big cannibal, six or seven generations ago began to live in the Great Song Dynasty, his father was the chief bookkeeper of Anxi, and he himself also served as the "producer" of the nine-rank official in the city of Boshi, responsible for receiving the merchants of Fan, "the general Zhufan market", but the main business of the Pu family is still the spice trade.

Pu Shougeng made good use of the identity advantage of being an official and businessman, controlled Quanzhou's overseas trade, and became the head of a city's wealthy businessmen, and even the countries of the South China Sea had to look at his face.

When everyone gathered, Liu Yuanman, who had the highest status, slowly spoke, "I have to say, this Yan King is more difficult to deal with than we expected, how to solve the current situation, let's talk about it."

Pu Shougeng's eyes were gloomy as water, "Judging from his past actions, his personality is still more impulsive and reckless, but for some reason, he didn't rush to Quanzhou as soon as we expected."

"Yes, this is very strange, according to the news that Lin'an gave us, the plan that King Yan stated in the court was to ensure that Quanzhou would not be lost first."

The name of the person at the interface is Lin Chunzi, and he is a wealthy family in Yongchun.

Then another gentleman, Yan Bolu, said, "Perhaps, King Yan deliberately released false news...... However, it is said that this Quanzhou is very important to his flow plan, so he should not sit idly by and watch Quanzhou fall into danger."

"I think there may be several reasons, not only did he arrive in Fuzhou a day earlier than we expected, but we didn't expect him to be able to convince Chen Wei's old stubbornness so quickly, so the time for us to put pressure on Quanzhou was delayed."

Sun Shengfu is Pu Shougeng's dog-headed military advisor, and the original plan was designed by him, so he must find a reason for failure.

Yan Bolu said again, "In fact, it is in the sky that people make things happen, there is no foolproof strategy in this world, and we are not without a backhand, but how do you know that Tian Zhenzi is so useless, and Li Zhi's dog thing actually betrayed us......

Lin Chunzi said stupidly, "Now, we have actually been exposed to King Yan's sight, but why is he still indifferent?"

"It stands to reason that he should have transferred back the soldiers and horses sent out, and then rushed to Quanzhou, but he didn't." Sun Shengfu was very puzzled.

At this time, Liu Yuanman knocked on the case, "Now we don't have so much time to study the reason, and in this situation, we seem to be shelved, but since we have come to this point, there is no turning back, let's hurry up and discuss how to break the situation."

"The old man is right, in seven or eight days at most, King Yan's follow-up soldiers and horses will arrive, our only chance to win is probably to lead him to Quanzhou in advance, then whether he takes the land or sea route, it is just a dead end!" Pu Shougeng's face was full of cruelty.

Sun Shengfu's eyes rolled, "I think that our previous plan can still be used, as long as we attack it and save it, it is impossible for him to sit still...... Anyway, we have no way back, we have to fight!"

After hearing this, Liu Yuanman's eyebrows twitched, "What should I do? Let's talk about it in detail......

"Thanks to ky0304 for the energy drink."
