Gao Yigong and Zhang Nai hurried away. Of course, it was impossible to leave now. At least a while. The rebel army was defeated because of the attack and the morale was a little depressed. The entire army retreated back to the Nanyang area, and could attack and defend. Li Zicheng decided to adopt Li Xin's opinion. Before the attack and the attack and the seal were opened, he would first break through Nanyang and plunder the wealth accumulated by the Tang king in two hundred years.

At the same time, the revolutionary army was also preparing to attack Yangzhou. Veterans led new soldiers and trained strictly. The craftsmanship workshop was in full swing every day. Li Xin recruited a large number of craftsmen, blacksmiths, gunpowders and handicraftsmen who made parts. The total number reached nearly a thousand, and the production capacity was greatly improved. If you had enough power, you could make 200 flintlock rifles every day.

In addition, during these days, the trial production of the Feisuo and Jenny spinning machines was successful, and it was only after the factory was completed that it could be officially put into production.

Ten days later, Li Xin finally got idle and continued to write a book. Suddenly, the Hongniang appeared and called out, "Mr. Li, the Xu Junmen in Huai'an and the Eunuch Li in the palace are looking for you."

"Oh? Chongzhen really appointed me?"

Li Xin put down his pen in surprise.

"You go and have a look."

The Hongniang walked behind Li Xin, couldn't help but pinched Li Xin's shoulders and looked over.

"Dream of the Red Chamber? Mr. Li, why did you write a novel?"

asked the Hongniang.

Now she has known nearly a thousand words, and there is not much problem with reading.

Li Xin smiled bitterly and said, "The scholars in Nanjing have demonized me too much. I heard that for me alone, I have taken to the streets and demonstrated twice. My reputation in Nanjing is very bad. In order to give people an objective understanding of me, I naturally wrote a shocking work. This book mainly talks about the rise and fall of the four major families in Nanjing, which is very thought-provoking."

The Hongniang asked again: "This is the book you have read in that world, right?"

Zhou Han had already repeated Li Xin's original words to Hong Niangzi. Although this result was incredible, it was still acceptable. Hong Niangzi believed that Li Xin was pulled into another world by Buddha for the rest of her life. Combined with Li Xin's statement that he was a thief in that life, his personality change was over, and her heart knot was untied, and she was waiting to take down Yangzhou to marry Li Xin.

Li Xin held the hand of Hong Niangzi, let her lean her head on her shoulder, sniff the refreshing fragrance, and smiled and said, "This book is very famous, and it has been derived from a school that analyzes the characters and foreshadowings in the book all day long. At least a few thousand people have a meal with Dream of the Red Chamber. After writing, I will show you first. Let's go, let's go now."

"Um!"

The Hongniang nodded happily and walked towards Zhengtang with Li Xin.

In the room, Xu Shao was talking to a chubby eunuch. Erju led several personal guards to stand aside. Seeing Li Xin and Hong Madam, Xu Shao quickly bowed: "Commander, this is Eunuch Li in the palace. I will announce the imperial edict to you on behalf of the emperor."

Eunuch Li also asked with his hands on his back and with his big belly, "But Li Xin?"

“That’s right!”

Li Xin said lightly.

"Kneel down and receive the order!"

Eunuch Li took out the imperial edict and held it in his hand.

"What? Tell me to kneel down? You're not wrong? Chongzhen didn't have such a big face, I'll take it for myself!"

Li Xin naturally stretched out his hand.

"You...you are so brave. When you see the imperial edict, you will be like seeing the emperor. Come on and kneel down!"

Eunuch Li screamed.

"Bang!"

Erju slapped in the face and snorted: "Die eunuch, open your dog's eyes and see where this is. You can't let go of your wildness. Kneel down and dedicate the Chongzhen book to the commander-in-chief!"

Xu Shao smiled bitterly, but he dared not say anything.

"You are so brave..."

Eunuch Li might have not figured out the situation yet, and he was cursing again. Erju immediately kicked him over and screamed in pain. Eunuch Li covered his stomach and knelt on the ground, wailing in pain.

Erju grabbed the imperial edict and presented it to Li Xin.

Li Xin opened his eyes and sneered: "What I want is the governor of Gaoyou, Chongzhen will give General Gaoyou to fool me? You are here to pass the message, I won't make things difficult for you. Go back and tell him that since he can't show since he can't show since he is sincere, then don't think I will work hard for him and bring General Gaoyou's seal over!"

"You...you..."

Eunuch Li was scared and his lips were trembling and could not speak.

Erju touched him, took out the appointment and seal and gave it to Li Xin.

Li Xin weighed it. Although he did not get the position of governor of Gaoyou, he had the title of general and was considered to be an official in the court, so he would be somewhat more convenient for his future actions.

"Remember, go back and tell Chongzhen the truth, you can leave."

Li Xin waved his hand.

"Commander Li, can you speak with a step?"

Xu Shao came over and said.

"Oh? Xu Junmen, please!"

Li Xin took Xu Zhao to the back room.

Xu Shao said: "The Caopu asked me to tell Commander Li to tell me that he had done his best, and even the emperor could not allow you as a prefect, the Ming Dynasty had its own system, I believe you understand that the Caopu hopes that you can serve the emperor and be a pillar of the country."

Li Xin said without comment: "Being a pillar of the country is my wish, and doing my best to the people of the world is also my ideal. Please tell the Caopu that the world is not a single family, but a world of people. Although the Ming Dynasty fell into such a land, there were many factors, Chongzhen was the emperor, and his greatest responsibility was borne by Chongzhen."

Xu Shao sighed secretly. Li Xin's meaning was already very clear. He didn't want to be too confused about this issue. He nodded and said, "I will bring the words to Commander Li. There are two other things that the Caofu asked me to tell me. First, the emperor confiscated Eunuch Zhang's house, and the 300,000 taels of silver may not be able to wait. Second, the emperor issued an order to arrest Li Xianfeng back to the capital and issue an edict to punish him."

“Oh ~~”

Li Xin was a little surprised and sighed regretfully: "The Chongzhen's orders changed every day, but he still arrested Li Xianfeng. It is really heartbreaking. Please tell me the Caopu on my behalf. Thank you."

"You're welcome!"

Xu Shao looked at Li Xin strangely and said, "Then Xu will say goodbye."

"I'll send you there!"

Li Xin didn't say much, and sent Xu Shao and Eunuch Li out, and then immediately summoned the generals to discuss matters.

In a moment, everyone came one after another, so Li Xin said: "As expected, Chongzhen only gave me a general Gaoyou. Since he is unkind, don't blame me for being unrighteous. Before summer comes, our army must capture Yangzhou."

"I've been waiting for this day!"

There are four regiments of muskets, including Li Shengde, Zhang Quan, Fei San and Yang Daniu as the commanders of the fourth regiment. At this time, Yang Daniu shouted: "Not everyone has the ability to lead the army. Han Wenjing's Yangzhou soldiers fought with us twice, one was defeated, and the other was standing by the side to see that his combat effectiveness is not better than that of the Huai'an soldiers. I suggest that we immediately launch Yangzhou."

Li Xin looked down.

Li Shengde hesitated for a moment and said, "I think we should first release the wind to make it mess up, and then attack, which will achieve twice the result with half the effort."

"Tell me, speak freely!"

Li Xin asked down.

"What Captain Li said!"

"Commander-in-Chief, it's no time to go!"

They all came together.

"So, everyone thinks we should take Yangzhou directly?"

Li Xin asked again.

Everyone felt something was wrong, looked at each other, and Gao Guiying asked, "Young Master Li, didn't you say you wanted to attack Yangzhou? Is there anything wrong? Just say it!"
