Laizhou City is still in the hands of the Ming army for the time being.

However, Xu Congzhi, the governor of Shandong who had just arrived, turned out to be gone!

It is said that when he was commanding the defense of the city, he was hit by the rebels' artillery and was martyred on the spot!

Zhu Youzhen was naturally furious!

In the main hall, no one mentioned the word "appeasement" again!

However, Zhu Youzhen's attitude was completely beyond Wang Li's expectations!

Zhou Yanru, who advocated appeasement, he didn't blame it!

Perhaps, he did not dare to blame!

Because, the two million taels of silver for buying cannons and forming cavalry are still in Zhou Yanru's hands!

The 600,000 taels of silver that purchased the war horse for the Guanning Iron Horse were also in the hands of Zhou Yanru!

These two sums of money are not said to be recovered!

At least, that's what Wang Li thought.

If he changes himself, if this money is in his own hands, even if he Zhu is three feet into the ground, he will not want to find it!

"Governor Xu Congzhi was martyred, I am very sad!

Message: Posthumously presented Xu Congzhi as the secretary of the military department, with five hundred taels of silver;

give sacrifices and burials, and build loyal martyrs' shrines;

After his youngest son became an adult, he was sealed with brocade clothes and hundreds of households; ”

After that, Zhu Youzhen's eyes were stunned, and he looked around at the ministers in the palace: "Traitors are not appeased, they are really rampant!"

Today, who dares to succeed to the post of governor of Shandong?

Who dares to lead the army to suppress the thief? ”

The sound fell, and the hall was silent.

Seeing this, Wang Li was overjoyed.

was about to open his mouth to ask for battle, but unexpectedly, Zhou Yanru took the lead in opening his mouth:

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Laizhou City already has the governor Xie Lian in charge, and the candidate for the governor of Shandong does not need to be in a hurry;

The top priority is to send troops to quell the rebellion!

The minister thought that Yang Yufan, the chief soldier of Tongzhou, and Wang Hong, the chief soldier of Tianjin, could lead the troops to suppress the thieves! ”

"No!"

As soon as Zhou Yanru's voice fell, Wen Tiren immediately spoke out against it: "Your Majesty, Yang Yufan and Wang Hong's general soldiers have little experience in battle, and they can't be easily entrusted with a big task!"

The minister thought that Zhu Dadian, the right capital, had resisted the "red hair" and pirates in Fujian, and made many military exploits!

This person led the troops to quell the rebellion, and then took on the post of governor of Shandong, and he will be able to quickly quell the rebels! ”

Wen Tiren said, the palace talked a lot, and Zhu Youzhen did not say anything.

Wang Li, who wanted to fight, hurriedly "retreated to the second line".

Actually, Wang Li really wants to fight!

Because, the rebels have left the fortified city and are attacking the city of Laizhou!

Moreover, the rebels have more than three hundred cannons on their hands!

And more than 6,000 war horses!

Under his command, although Cao Wenzhao is not there, there are still Cao Dingjiao and Cao Bianjiao!

They led the "Iron Armor Guard" out on the expedition, and they only needed one night attack to kill the rebels to the ground!

Iron cavalry fights light cavalry and infantry without much effort!

Not only got rid of Kong Youde, but also captured a large number of cannons and war horses, why not?

However, Wen Tiren and Zhou Yanru both saw the "oil and water" in it!

Even though Xu Congzhi had just been killed, even though the rebels were fierce and rampant, Wen Tiren and Zhou Yanru were not afraid!

No way, there is too much oil and water!

For Wen Tiren and Zhou Yanru, the victory in this battle is bound to win!

Zhou Yanru took the lead in asking for his life, and strongly recommended Yang Yufan and Wang Hong, because he wanted to consolidate his position as the first assistant through the exploits of exterminating the rebels!

However, if Wen Tiren exterminated the rebels and then joined Zhou Yanru in due course, his position as the first assistant of the cabinet would basically be secure!

Wen Tiren, a native of Wucheng, Zhejiang;

Zhu Dadian, a native of Jinhua, Zhejiang, whom he highly recommended;

The doorway is known to a discerning person at a glance!

In this case, the West Factory should not be blindly mixed!

It's not good, it offended both Wen Tiren and Zhou Yanru!

These two people are not good birds!

So, although there is a lot of oil and water, don't fight with the villain!

It's really not worth it!

After arguing for a long time, in the end, Zhu Youzhen still chose Yang Yufan and Wang Hong!

In other words, he still maintains trust in Zhou Yanru, the first assistant!

……

"Gonggong, according to the latest intelligence, the size of the rebels has reached more than 30,000 people!

Of these, at least 10,000 hussars! ”

"Oh?"

Wang Li frowned slightly, he couldn't believe it: "This Kong is virtuous...... What exactly is the ability?

Why did the number of rebels increase by more than 10,000 in a matter of days? ”

"Because, Mao Chenglu, the deputy general of Guangludao, and Chen Shi, the guerrilla of Lushun, were pursued and suppressed by Huang Long, the general soldier of the Dongjiang River, and they all fled to Dengzhou City, and all of them voted for Kong Youde!"

Yellow Dragon!

Yellow Dragon!

You Dongjiang commander-in-chief, what should I say about you?

You are in a hurry to clear out the rebels and avenge yourself, understandably!

But, is there anyone like you to clean up?

Are you clearing the rebels, or are you helping them?

That's it!

"How Huang Long wants to play, let's not care about him!

Shang Kexi under his command, he must keep an eye on me!

As long as he has the slightest inclination to defect, he will be arrested immediately, whether he lives or dies! ”

"Factory, what do you mean ......?"

Song Zhe couldn't help it, and finally asked!

Not long ago, Wang Li sent Jinyi guards to land on Phi Island on the pretext of "escorting silver", and took the opportunity to stare at Shang Kexi.

At that time, although Song Zhe was puzzled, he didn't ask much.

Shang Kexi, together with Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming, are both from Shandong.

However, it doesn't mean that he will rebel too!

Could it be that the real goal of the factory is Huanglong?

"Factory Gong, according to our existing information, between Mr. Huang and Kong Youde, there is not only the revenge of cutting off the nose and ears, but also the revenge of killing his wife and son!

So, these two people are either you dead or I live!

Mr. Huang will never help the rebels!

It is even more impossible to throw themselves into the rebels! ”

Wang Li didn't understand Song Zhe's original intention, but he became interested in his words: "I remember that Huanglong's nose and ears were cut off, and it was Geng Zhongming's younger brother Geng Zhongyu, right?"

Since Geng Zhongming voted for Kong Youde, it is indeed reasonable for Huang Long to want to get rid of these two people;

However, what is the revenge of killing his wife and son? ”

"What's going on...... Our brocade guard just inquired!

When Kong Youde captured Dengzhou, Huang Zongbing's family members were all in the city;

At that time, Huanglong was attacking Chen Youshi on Changshan Island;

thereupon

Kong Youde sent people to use the golden hairpin of Liu, the wife of Huang Zongbing, as a token, and wanted to force Huang Zongbing to withdraw from the army;

However, Mr. Huang was unmoved!

Not only did he not retreat, but he attacked Changshan Island with all his might, and drove Chen Youshi all the way to Lushun!

As a result, Mr. Huang's family members were all killed by Kong Youde!

Therefore, the enmity between Mr. Huang and Kong Youde can be regarded as incompatible! ”

Knowing the feud between the two, Wang Li was overjoyed!

Because, at this time, Kong Youde is a golden doll!

Wen Tiren, Zhou Yanru and himself are all drooling!

In this way, Kong Youde's defeat is only a matter of time!

You don't need Huanglong to make a move!

He doesn't have many soldiers and horses, and he is in a hurry to take revenge, which will only add to the chaos!

However, he has warships!

If his warship approached Dengzhou City, he could easily cut off Kong Youde's retreat!

In this way, Kong Youde wants to cross the sea and go north to join Huang Taiji, and he will inevitably be captured!

It's easy to get rid of the three big traitors!

So, Wang Li wrote a letter and ordered the Jinyi guards to set off immediately, asking them to hand it over to Huanglong in person!

Huang Long is the chief soldier of Dongjiang, and he does not necessarily listen to the dispatch of the West Factory!

However, Wang Li first gave him 30,000 taels of silver, and promised to help him avenge him!

also gave him an analysis of the imperial court's determination to eliminate the rebels!

Presumably, this Chief Huang should take the overall situation into account!

"By the way, our sailor, how are the preparations going?"

"Factory Gong, the sailors have one hundred and fifty warships, more than 5,000 sailors, all equipped with muskets!"

"Huh?"

Seeing that Wang Li was a little displeased, Song Zhe hurriedly said: "Our sailor, compared with Zheng Zhilong's sailor, is indeed far behind!"

However, there is still a strong fighting power!

A while ago, we intercepted Zhou Yanru's fleet, and our sailors did not hurt a single person, and won a complete victory! ”

Wang Li nodded, still a little displeased!

A sailor without a cannon can also be called a sailor?

It's almost the same to call it a "convoy"!

A few muskets, it's okay to bully a merchant ship!

If you really want to fight a naval battle with the Dutch, you will definitely lose!

So, there have to be cannons!

Cannon!

Cannon!

The Fujian Ordnance Bureau has not yet made a cannon!

Buy from the Portuguese, it's too far and it takes too much time!

Moreover, it costs money!

Not cost-effective!

If Kong Youde's 300 cannons are loaded on the ship, this is called a sailor!

No, it still doesn't work!

Most of the cannons in his hands are old cannons or imitation cannons!

There are only twenty real Hongyi cannons!

That's it, that's it!

Better than nothing!

Three hundred old-fashioned cannons can be regarded as the first sailor of the Ming Dynasty!

Now that the way back has been found, the rest is to make money desperately!

Hum!

I'm not Wei Zhongxian, but I still can't hold sand in my eyes!

"A while ago, I was impeached by Zhang Lun, the governor of Sichuan, is there a way to get rid of him?"

"Changgong, Sichuan is far away from Jingshi, let's play as much as we want! As for the Banzai Lord's side, it's easy to fool the past! ”

"In that case, send someone to Sichuan to check the accounts! His ass is certainly not clean! ”

"Don't worry, I'll let Song Yi do it, at least let him get off and return to his hometown!"

"Very good! After this ticket, your brother will be promoted to "Thousand Households in Brocade Clothes", and he will be rewarded with 100,000 taels of silver! ”

Hearing this, Song Zhe was overjoyed and hurried to do something.

Wang Li twisted his neck, always feeling that something was missing.

By the way, today, no one rubs shoulders and pounds legs!

No wonder you feel sick!

"Where did Aunt Liu go? Why haven't you seen anyone all the time? ”

"Factory father, Aunt Liu entered the palace early in the morning and went to the Inner Dyeing and Weaving Bureau!"

Cut!

Isn't this nonsense?

There are Zhu Youzhen and the celebrant staring at the printing of vanilla coupons, who dares to be lazy?

Women, stay at home and raise dogs, walk birds, husbands and children, that's enough!

Godson!

Godson!

I'll go!

During this time, I only cared about being happy, and forgot when she came to be popular!

If I really want to have an extra son, I'm going to die!

If I'm not mistaken, last month, she seemed to be the fifteenth!

Today, it's April 2nd!

Yesterday, the day before yesterday, the day before yesterday......

Nima!

Big things are not good!

Whoever is that, hurry up and take my token into the palace!

Hurry up and get Aunt Liu back!

Right away!

……

Speaking of this, Liu Ruyan's cheeks turned red, and she said in a low voice: "Don't worry, the concubine knows the severity and doesn't dare to make trouble for the factory!" ”

"I'll go! It's not a matter of looking for trouble!

But...... ...... the other night Very unsafe......

Otherwise, you hurry to Nandu!

There are no outsiders in Tianyin Pavilion, so they won't be noticed! ”

"The factory is in Beijing, and the concubine is ...... Don't want to go to Nandu......

Rest assured, the concubine has been dealt with, and there will be no problems......"

I'll go!

Have you dealt with it?

Can you handle it?

What can be done?

In this day and age, there are no relevant drugs!

Are you an immortal, can cast spells?

Are you a martial arts master, can you force it out with internal strength?

"Factory father, the concubine body was taught by Zhao Qian, and afterwards she used musk to stick to her navel, and she also drank decoction......

As long as the factory is in Beijing, and the concubine is drinking decoction every day, there will be no problem......"

"Decoction? Decoction? What decoction?

What herbs are in the formula? ”

"This ...... Yes...... Saffron, cinnabar, baking soa, strychnine, mercury ......"

I'll go!

Hearing Liu Ruyan's formula, Wang Li was shocked!

Pull her over, look up, look down, look left, look right.

I can't believe it!

Doesn't it mean that mercury is poisonous?

This little girl!

Drinking every day?

Still drinking for months?

I'll go!

She has eaten so much poison, why is she still alive?

If she hadn't thought about it, how long would she have to drink the poison?
