Li Ze picked up his pen and drew three lines on the map, connecting Shiyi, Wuyi and Xindu into a triangle. He turned around and looked at the crowd in the room and said, "This place will be our nest and our basic surface in the future."

Xia He, who was sitting in the corner as usual, was a little puzzled. He looked at the map and said, "Young Master, why is there Shiyi?"

Li Ze smiled and said, "Because Shiyi is the bridgehead for us to seize Henghai in the future. This time I ordered the captive of almost all the people in Dezhou and burned down villages and cities in Dezhou, but the only thing that did not move was Shiyi. This was the intention."

"Young Master, why should we focus on Henghai?" Chen Congxing stood up, "Now the eldest son is gone, you are Chengde's only heir. Shouldn't we focus on this matter?"

Li Ze raised his eyebrows, signaled him to sit down, looked around the people in the room, and said, "I think everyone has the same questions as Chen Congxing, right? Then I will tell you today why my primary goal is still Henghai!"

Shi Zhuang nodded and said, "Just ask the young master to explain his doubts. We are indeed confused."

"Li Che is dead. It seems that our form is in great shape, but I don't think so." Li Ze said: "In Chengde area, Zhenzhou, Zhaozhou, Yizhou, Shenzhou, now if anyone intends to stand on my side, I'm afraid there will be only Yizhou controlled by Cao Xin. Others, such as Zhaozhou, Zhenzhou, and Shenzhou, have the same attitude towards me, but it is still unclear."

"Young Master's words are wrong!" Yang Kai retorted: "It's okay for Shenzhou, but Zhenzhou is the governor himself, and Zhaozhou is your uncle. Why is his attitude uncle uncle?"

"It's very simple." Li Ze said: "Let's talk about my second uncle Li Anmin. Zhaozhou, which he governed, was second only to Zhenzhou in Chengde area. When Li Che was there, he naturally had nothing to say, but when Li Che died, an unknown me jumped out. Whether he could accept it was a question of whether he could accept it. To put it bluntly, if there was no me, then he would be qualified to take over the position of the governor of Chengde. In the face of interests, who dares to say that he has no idea?"

Everyone nodded silently.

"Let's talk about Zhenzhou, my father has no choice now, so he naturally has to choose me, but what kind of attitude he has under his command is worth examining. Let's give an example, say You Yong, who is the most loyal to my father, but will he support me? I don't know." Li Ze said lightly: "Don't forget that I still have half of the Wang blood flowing on me, and how many Wang family members have been killed by generals like You Yong? How can he not hesitate? There are so many generals under my father, so they are not afraid that I will take revenge after I come to power?"

Everyone couldn't help but feel silent, thinking that Li Ze was the son of the Jiedushi, but they didn't expect that there were too many people's personal interests.

"Because of Wang Mingyi's relationship, Cao Xin knew a lot about me and would not have such concerns. But how much do other people know me?" Li Ze smiled and said, "So, it takes time to ask them to accept me, and during this period, there will inevitably be many difficulties and twists and turns. Of course, I am sure to win the position of Chengde Jiedu. But before that, we must not relax because of this. We must have the strength to support the title of Chengde Jiedu Jiedu."

"So the young master wants to take down Henghai!" Shi Zhuang slapped his high and said with a smile: "If the young master could swallow Henghai, it would be the de facto governor of Henghai. At that time, he would use this power to enter Zhenzhou again, who would dare to say no?"

Li Ze raised his palm and closed his fingers one by one: "Strength is the confidence to speak."

Tu Lichun sucked the cold air in a slight way, "Young Master, it is not ordinary difficulty to swallow the sea in the three counties."

Li Ze laughed: "Real Chun, don't underestimate our current strength. Come on, I'll do it with you. Now, Shiyi, Wuyi, and Xindu have absorbed the immigrants in Dezhou, and we have already had more than 100,000 people. In theory, we can raise about 10,000 soldiers. In wartime, including the recruited civilians, we can gather more than 30,000 people. This is no longer a force that can be underestimated. Now we have 2,500 armored soldiers, and in a few months, our armored soldiers will be expanded to 3,000. As long as financial resources allow, we can even form more."

Li Ze looked at Xia He, but Xia He kept shaking his head.

Li Ze smiled and continued: "Let's look at Henghai again. Zhu Shou has lost Dezhou in fact. In the next few years, it will become a barren land. Under Henghai's rule, there will be only Cangzhou, Dizhou and Jingzhou. Henghai suffered this severe damage, and coupled with his internal troubles, his strength will continue to decline."

Shi Zhuang suddenly had an inspiration in his mind and said, "Young Master, Jingzhou, and Jingzhou, there are no matter where there are people who can use it. Liu Chenglin, he still has a huge handle in his hands."

Li Ze smiled and said, "Liu Chenglin is definitely not a person who is willing to live under others. Now he is stationed in Jingzhou, he is afraid he will have the intention of doing something big. So we can also divide this person out of Zhu Shou's sphere of influence."

Tu Lichun didn't understand until this time and looked at Li Ze and said, "No wonder the young master wanted Tu Hu to get Liu Chenglin's family from Shiyi to Wuyi, because he wanted to threaten him with hostages."

"Master Liu came to our Wuyi as a guest, so we did not coerce him." Li Ze spread his hands and said.

Everyone laughed.

Shi Zhuang said: "Liu Chenglin's girl Liu Ruyan has also seen her. She is really a beautiful and charming girl, and she is similar to her age. If the young master marrys her, I am afraid that Zhu Shou and Liu Chenglin will turn against each other soon. Young master, this is a great opportunity. The beauty and the general can both have both. We must not let it go."

Everyone in the room burst into laughter, of course, except Xia He.

Li Ze smiled and knocked on the table and said, "Okay, don't joke. I have sent someone to send a letter to Liu Chenglin. Next, we will wait and see what we do at the same time, and do our own thing well, that is, manage Shiyi, Wuyi and Xindu. Shi Zhuang, you will lead a thousand armored soldiers to Xindu, Shen Congxing, you will lead a thousand armored soldiers to Shiyi. Although we judged that Zhu Shou would not cross a few hundred miles of no-man's land to attack us, what if he loses his mind, we should still be prepared for the precautions he should take."

"Yes!" The two generals stood up and bowed to accept the order.

"Lichun still leads the personal guard camp and also manages the training tasks of the soldiers in the three suburbs." Li Ze said to Tu Lichun: "Now we don't have to worry about the source of troops, but I need these people, and have the ability to become a soldier at any time. As long as we need them, these people will be able to take over."

"As for your order, young master." Tu Lichun said sternly.

"Li Han! How are you doing that one hundred Modao team?" Li Ze looked at the tall and tall Li Han who was burly and sat upright.

"Young Master, these people can no longer recognize who Liu Dai is." Li Han clenched his fists: "As the young master said, I am a big stick and candied dates. Now, they only have me in their eyes."

"Very good. Next, I will give you a special right. All the troops in the three places, as long as you like, you can choose from it. You can form a Modao team. Of course, now I cannot equip you with heavy armor like them. I can only do it after I have the conditions in the future. But we can do the preliminary work, rather than lack it, do you know?"

"I understand!" Li Han said loudly.

"Li De!" Li Ze called another person's name again.

Hu Yi, who had just been given the surname Li Ze, stood up suddenly.

"I will hand over all the three hundred war horses captured in Texas this time to you, and use the men of your Xinyue Fox Team as the backbone to form a Ranger. The hundreds of miles of barren area in Texas is your horse herdding place. Apart from weapons, I don't have more food and grass supplies to you. You need to raise them yourself. Do you understand what I mean?" Li Ze said.

Li De smiled and said, "Young Master, I understand that not only is the uninhabited area of ​​Dezhou hundreds of miles, but also Dizhou and Cangzhou."

"Yang Kai, what you proposed to me earlier that you wanted to focus all your energy on Yixing Society. I thought it was feasible after considering it, but before I found a suitable Wuyi County to be chosen, you still have to do the job of the county magistrate. Yixing Society is the foundation of our control of the place, and we must make our work solid. From now on, the members of Yixing Society will be divided into three levels: formal, preparatory, and candidates. Each person will have a number that belongs to him." Li Ze clapped his hands, and Tian Bo moved out a small box from a corner and opened it. Inside was a yellow bronze medal with yellow patterns carved on the bronze medal, and in the middle was a number.

Li Ze picked up the number one license plate from it, Liang gave everyone a look, "This is mine."

Next, Li Ze began to award license plates to the people in the house one by one. Tu Lichun got the number two, Xia He got the number three, Shi Zhuang got the number four, Yang Kai No. 5, Tu Hu No. 6, and Shen Congxing No. 7. These license plates basically represent the different importance of these people in the Li Ze group now.

"The people in this room today will be the first group of formal Yixing members. Those who are already working for Yixing Society will become preparatory members. Whether they can become formal members will be dealt with based on their work achievements, work enthusiasm and loyalty. Yang Kai and Yixing Society must have a complete system of absorbing members, and this matter will be done by you. Remember Luo, Yixing Society, it is difficult to come in and go out even more difficult."

"I understand!" Yang Kai said with his chest straight.
