Shen Youlong sighed helplessly, but found that Zhao Wenji didn't say a word, and he asked, "Mr. Zhao, why don't you speak?" ”

Zhao Wenji said: "What can students say? We haven't known Lee Siu Kee for more than a day or two, and we've not worked together once or twice. You don't know him yet, how can he help us if he doesn't have a vital interest.

And Li Zhaoji is not just as simple as being able to speak well, where he was analyzing the interests and disadvantages for you just now, he was warning you.

Lest you choose to cooperate with the feudal town, and make him a lot of trouble. ”

Choosing to cooperate with the feudal town will inevitably lead to a civil war in the Ming Dynasty, which will make Li Zhaoji's reputation in the Ming Dynasty ruined, after all, he will support the Liaozhen forces that are already infamous in the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, as long as the troops are moved, it will cost money, which is inevitable.

If you don't cooperate with the feudal towns, you don't need to use troops and you don't need to spend money.

The final result of the two methods is the same, and Li Zhaoji certainly chooses the one with the lowest cost. He is rich now, but for a battlefield, his less than two million cash will not last long, and the same silver money will be used to invest in the construction of the navy, the construction of various industries of the trading company, external development, and internal development, and there will be huge gains in the future.

Shen Youlong nodded: "Mr. Zhao is right, what he said is right, let's go to Songjiang, that's hello, I'm good, everyone."

But the old man is angry, since he got acquainted with Li Zhaoji, he has always been led by the nose, every time although he will take care of all aspects of interests, let the old man, let Daming profit a lot, but he is the most profitable. He used his old man to expand the Oriental Trading Company to the point where it now affects the balance of the world.

This time it directly affects the rise and fall of the Ming Dynasty. Sir, can't you and I think of a way to prevent it from happening?

It's just you and me, and you really win him in strategy. ”

Zhao Wenji shook his head firmly: "The future may not be impossible, but now is not the time to be vindictive." Dong Weng, everything is still safe now. ”

"Why isn't it the right time, but you have a strategy and don't want to tell the old man?" Shen Youlong asked.

Zhao Wenji immediately waved his hand: "There is no strategy." The student just felt that there was no need to fight with Li Zhaoji, all he wanted was sea supremacy, and I, the Ming Dynasty, had banned the sea since the time of Taizu, and I was not allowed to go to the sea for a while. Zheng He went to the West seven times, spent a lot of money, and gained very little.

Everything that the ancestors gained at sea has long been lost, why bother to fight him Li Zhaoji for the sake of sea power, and we are not the Zheng family who take the sea as their business.

He, Li Zhaoji, is trying to supremacy at sea, just let him take it. Indeed, the coastal area of the Ming Dynasty was controlled by Li Zhaoji and was a threat to the Ming Dynasty. But is this the only threat to Daming? The top priority is to let King Fu rightfully succeed to the throne and fight against the thieves.

From what the students can see, the thieves are strong, and we have to exhaust all resources to fight against each other, and we can only divide our forces and gain nothing. ”

Shen Youlong sighed and smashed his fist into his palm, extremely unwilling.

Zhao Wenji knew that Shen Youlong thought very highly of himself, and he had always looked down on Li Zhaoji, who was born as a businessman, and was repeatedly used by him, which made Shen Youlong very dissatisfied. He can't get over this hurdle in his heart. The clearer the stakes are, the more uncomfortable Shen Youlong becomes, and Zhao Wenji can only persuade Shen Youlong in another way, so that he can be in a happy mood and have fewer worries in front of major events, so that he can make a clear decision.

"Dong Weng. In the past, you have repeatedly lost to Li Zhaoji, but it is not a lack of talent and resourcefulness. It's really because of the lack of strength. Zhao Wenhe served a cup of tea and said with a smile.

"Lack of strength? He Li Zhaoji was originally a ship of Haikou, the old man, when he met him, he was already the governor of Liangguang and the official of the frontier. Shen Youlong categorically couldn't accept the explanation of his lack of strength.

Zhao Wenji smiled: "What Dong Weng said is that you have a high status, but you also have a big constraint. The student also asks you, in the past two years, did the gentry of Liangguang help you more, or did they help Li Zhaoji more? ”

Shen Youlong thought about it and nodded slightly, this is really the truth. Before competing with Li Zhaoji, the gentry of Liangguang were sent by him, but at that time, Li Zhaoji did not have much interest in Liangguang, and he couldn't hold much leverage, and these supports were useless.

But when Li Zhaoji had interests in Liangguang, he was directly bound to the Liangguang gentry and formed an interest group, and after that, the Liangguang gentry became Li Zhaoji's allies.

Shen Youlong has a high position as governor, but he is not Li Zhaoji's opponent, and it probably has something to do with it.

Zhao Wenji said: "This time is different from the past, this time the chaos is set right, King Fu inherits the unification, you are the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty." Half of the Ming Dynasty is in your hands, and the resources and connections you have at your disposal are not comparable to Li Zhaoji. However, the threat of thieves is ahead, and you need to focus your resources on dealing with it first.

The thieves to be cooked, with the wealth of the Ming Dynasty and millions of elite soldiers, can't deal with a little Li Zhaoji? ”

"Yes, yes." Shen Youlong listened to these words, nodded with satisfaction, and his mood was much more relaxed.

Shen Youlong said: "Mr. Zhao, what you said makes sense, let's settle down like this and land in Songjiang Mansion."

It's just one thing, Huai'an, you need to go to Huai'an for the old man in person, as for Fujian, just let Li Zhaoji operate it, and we will worry about it. ”

Nanjing City.

The Liaoguo Mansion was in a hurry, full of people carrying boxes, coming in and out, and there were many women's cries in the backyard.

"You said you, I said it a long time ago, Li Zhaoji is not a thing in the pool, you have to guard against him, but also befriend him. As a result, you didn't do anything.

Now the main force of Liaozhen is trapped on Jeju Island, and Li Zhaoji has turned to support King Fu, isn't King Fu dead, isn't he swearing that King Fu is dead? Wu Xiang kept yelling in the main hall, in the past few days, Nanjing has received bad news, it can be said that since Wu Sangui came quietly, bad news has followed.

Wu Sangui said: "It's the bastard thing of Xia Guoxiang, who promised me that King Fu is dead, and he saw it with his own eyes." ”

"Eight lambs, wait for the situation to stabilize, and kill this deflated calf thing." Wu Xiang said scoldingly.

Wu Sangui said: "Dad, but I still don't understand, what Li Zhaoji is doing, why does he support King Fu, he cooperates with us well." ”

"You are stupid, the Qing army has withdrawn, the thieves are in full swing, Li Zhaoji, a businessman, of course chose to cooperate with Dashun, mess up the Ming Dynasty, let the Ming Dynasty fight, and Dashun can unify the world." Wu Xiang scolded and said: "I don't know if there is room for relaxation in this matter, as long as Li Zhaoji changes his mind, everything can be reversed."

I asked you to send someone to Songjiang to contact, did you send someone? Did you send the money? ”

Wu Sangui said angrily: "Give him silver back, our family's silver has all been swallowed by this bastard." ”

After learning that the Yue army and the Oriental Trading Company escorted King Fu to land in Songjiang Mansion, the Wu family father and son immediately understood that the only way to change Li Zhaoji's mind was to change his mind, so Wu Xiang asked Wu Sangui to send the silver, and made a promise that Liangguang and Fujian would all be given to Li Zhaoji and divided the Ming Dynasty with him, but obviously, Wu Sangui did not implement this plan, at least he did not send the money.

"At this time, I still care about that bit of silver." Wu Xiang scolded endlessly.

Wu Sangui said: "He Li Zhaoji has made a fortune in the north, and we only have 200,000 taels left, can we impress him?"

Dad, Shi Kefa went to Songjiang, you give 200,000, and the Jiangnan gentry can only give more. Our money can only be meat buns and dogs. ”

Wu Xiang sighed: "It's over, it's all fucking over." Now I can only retreat to Fujian, and then I will cooperate with Xia Guoxiang first. ”

Just when the father and son of the Wu family were discussing the way out, a person dressed as a businessman came down under the escort of his own soldiers. This is the representative sent by Wu Xiang to Songjiang Mansion, Li Yousong. At the beginning, he also did it when he communicated with Dashun. When Wu Xiang went south, he invited many gentry from Liaoxi to fill the important yamen of the Nanjing court and was his confidant.

"Tomomatsu, how's it going?" When Wu Xiang saw Li Yousong coming back, he immediately held his hand.

Li Yousong shook his head slightly: "Liao Guogong, Ping Xibo, I haven't completed your two entrustments." Pincie, your secret letter, has also been returned. ”

As he spoke, Li Yousong took out a secret letter from his arms, but it was opened. And after Wu Sangui saw it, he grabbed it and was about to tear it apart, but Wu Xiang didn't know about the secret letter, and asked: "What did you write, what did you write!" ”

Wu Sangui tore the letter to shreds casually, and kept rubbing it with his boots, saying, "It's nothing, I just want to ask Shen Youlong if we have a chance to coexist." ”

"Youmatsu, have you read this letter?" Wu Xiang asked Li Yousong.

"No, but Shen Youlong saw it and showed it to Shi Kefa and King Fu." Li Yousong said.

And Li Yousong took out another letter and handed it to Wu Xiang: "Liao Guogong, it is the letter that Shen Youlong replied to. ”

Wu Xiang snatched it away, for fear that Wu Sangui would come to rob it, after reading the letter, Wu Xiang's face turned red, and he scolded Wu Sangui: "Okay, you Wu Sangui, a dog without a king and a father, even if Lao Tzu gave birth to a dog, he also knows how to obey his master, but you want to exchange your father's life for wealth and glory."

You're such a goddamn bastard, everyone gets it! ”

Wu Xiang scolded, while pulling out the knife is to cut Wu Sangui, while chasing and chopping, while counting Wu Sangui's unfilial piety.

It turned out that Wu Sangui and Shen Youlong's secret letter was indeed what he said, asking if it was possible to coexist with him, and now at this time, as long as he can keep his wealth and glory, Wu Sangui will be nothing to support King Fu. Of course, Wu Xiang also meant this, so he sent Li Yousong to Songjiang.

However, what Wu Xiang didn't know was that Wu Sangui asked Li Yousong to give Shen Youlong a secret letter. A plan was formulated for both parties, that is, to let his father Wu Xiang come out and take the blame, beat him as a traitor, and end the farce of King Lu's imprisonment.

And Wu Sangui can lead the troops in Liaoxi and join forces with Pingkou as a reason to continue to be a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, and he can also kill his relatives in righteousness, which proves this.

The father and son fought, and in the end, Wu Sangui grabbed Wu Xiang's wrist with his young strength, snatched the knife in his hand, pushed him to the chair casually, and said, "Okay, don't make trouble." The son is also for the survival of our Wu family, and you must always be considerate.

Now that I have arrived, all the affairs of Liaozhen are in charge of me, Dad, you are willing to give up your past suspicions and help your son, and your son will naturally continue to be filial to you. If you continue to mess around, your son will do all kinds of difficult things. ”

"Bastard, bastard!" Wu Xiang scolded angrily, but he didn't dare to come to Hu, now that it was time for life and death, the Wu family was nervous, he knew that Wu Sangui was in a hurry, and he would do anything.

After Wu Xiang calmed down, Wu Sangui continued to ask Li Yousong: "Your trip has no effect at all." What about Li Zhaoji, have you found out? ”

Li Yousong sighed and said: "Ping Xibo, let the students tell the truth, in the current situation, Fujian is also unbearable. In Songjiang, the students saw that King Fu had declared your father and son traitorous and rebellious, but said that Xia Guoxiang was a hero anyway, and made him a marquis.

Whether it's true or not, Xia Guoxiang is afraid that he has a heart of self-reliance. What's more, he is your son-in-law, knowing your temper, how can you let him go when it comes to the life and death of King Fu? ”
