During this period of time, Li Yuanqing had been thinking carefully about what Mao Wenlong said about changing places.

The imperial court wanted to transfer Li Yuanqing to Yansui, or other places in Jiubian outside the Liao region. This was something Li Yuanqing would never accept!

Li Yuanqing will never agree to this option!

At this time, Li Yuanqing's biggest advantage lies in maritime trade and the sea. Once the court transfers him to an inland area, it will be equivalent to strangling Li Yuanqing's veins, just like killing a strong fish. Li Yuanqing's life was literally thrown to the shore alive!

If he really wants to break his skin, then he can't blame Li Yuanqing for being unkind.

Where Li Yuanqing was thinking, his first choice was Denglai.

However, there is not much difference between Denglai and Changsheng Island. According to Governor Yuan's urine, it is impossible for him to agree to this matter.

Li Yuanqing then settled for the next best thing and chose Lingshan Guard, which would later become the Qingdao area, or Andong Guard, which would later become the Rizhao area.

These two places are not under Denglai's rule. They are both subordinate to Shandong and belong to Shandong's guard posts.

With Li Yuanqing's status at this time, if he went to such a place, he, Li Yuanqing, would be "lowering himself".

Of course, the premise of all this is that Li Yuanqing protects the interests of Changsheng Island to the maximum extent.

If it is really impossible to protect the interests of Changsheng Island, Governor Yuan and the imperial court must force Li Yuanqing to leave Changsheng Island. Lingshan Guard and Anton Guard will be Li Yuanqing's best choice.

But if this is the case, Li Yuanqing will definitely ask the lion to open his mouth and let Governor Yuan and the court shed some blood.

At this time, after hearing Mao Wenlong ask about this matter, Li Yuanqing thought for a moment and then said: "Commander, about this~, I have no specific plan for the moment. Take one step at a time and see what happens. I still have to keep my position on Changsheng Island. Profit comes first.”

No matter how you behave or do things, you must first leave yourself three points of leeway.

At this time, Li Yuanqing's choice may not seem big, but it is actually related to the intricate interests of the entire Liao Dynasty. Before the matter is uncertain, Li Yuanqing will naturally not be too satisfied with Mao Wenlong's words.

Mao Wenlong nodded slowly, "Yuanqing, this matter does need to be discussed carefully. However, I don't recommend you to go to Yansui, Datong, and Ningxia. Not only are there strong winds and sand, but the population is small, and the key situation is It’s still complicated. You must be aware of it.”

What Mao Wenlong said was true enough. Of course, Li Yuanqing understood the deep meaning behind his words and nodded hurriedly: "The commander-in-chief gave me advice, and I will bear in mind my humble position."

After all, Jiubian's general system was almost rotten to the core by this point.

Whether it is Liaodi, Xuanfu, Datong, Jizhen, or further northwest Shanxi, Yansui, Guyuan, Ningxia, and Gansu, their actual interests have already been divided up by the generals.

Even if Li Yuanqing went to Yulin and turned Yulin into an independent town, turning nine sides into ten, it wouldn't take five, six, seven or eight years to figure it out.

Not to mention, we have to give up sea trade.

Back then, why did Mao Wenlong tuck his head in his waistband, lead less than 200 people, and launch a surprise attack on Zhenjiang? Wasn't it just to break away from the shackles of this slutty general?

Mao Wenlong took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Yuan Qing, Chen Zhong, although the situation is a bit dangerous at this time, on the whole, our Liao land's big airs are still there. Don't worry too much. Your Majesty..."

Mao Wenlong looked in the direction of the capital and sighed slowly: "The emperor will figure it out sooner or later. At this time, we still have to stabilize ourselves."

Li Yuanqing was already well aware of Mao Wenlong's attitude, and he respectfully acknowledged it.

The same goes for Chen Zhong.

At this point, the main topic is basically over, and everyone already has an idea of ​​the future strategy, or arrangement.

Mao Wenlong also felt a lot more relaxed. He smiled and asked Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong about their trip to the North.

Li Yuanqing handed over the leadership of this topic to Chen Zhong.

Chen Zhong was no longer the reckless man he was before, and he naturally knew what to say and what not to say.

The atmosphere in the three-person room gradually became relaxed and lively.

As noon approached, the cooks had already prepared a sumptuous lunch. After receiving the news, Chen Jisheng also hurried over, and the four of them drank and chatted together.

With Chen Zhong's introduction to Beidi and a few glasses of wine, he also recalled Mao Wenlong's memory. He said with deep feeling: "Yuanqing, Chen Zhong, Jisheng, Beidi is a good place. For many years

I have personally been to Nuergandusi before. After we eliminate the problem of slavery, we must take back the northern land! As for Siberia, which is farther away, if possible, we must not let it go!"

…………

A perfect lunch.

However, this kind of joint is naturally not suitable for getting drunk.

After Mao Wenlong had eaten, he went back to rest.

After all, he was almost fifty at this time. He got up early in the morning and has been accompanying Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong until now. His brain has been tense and spinning at high speed, which must be too much for him.

In addition, Li Yuanqing came over in person and laid out the framework of the matter. Mao Wenlong finally put his heart that had been in his throat back into his stomach and finally had a good sleep.

After Mao Wenlong left, Chen Jisheng hurriedly ordered his soldiers to put the food in order and serve tea. He came to accompany Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong to communicate.

The three of them are from the same generation and have old friendships. With the banquet as a backdrop, the atmosphere is already very heated.

Each person lit a cigar, and Chen Jisheng said with great dissatisfaction: "Yuanqing, Old Chen, you have also seen now that the court's move is really unreasonable. Originally, I had a great situation in Dongjiang this year, but after nearly a year of careful preparation,

, it was completely wasted! Hey! I really don’t know what the emperor and the court elders were thinking? How could he let him, Yuan Manzi, do whatever he wanted? This was not a waste of good opportunity, giving it to Gou Tar.

Is there a chance for me to take a breather? Especially last year, there was a severe drought in the northwest, and the front line in Guanhai was not much better. This is really... ugh! The rain is about to come, and the wind is everywhere!"

Chen Zhong took a deep breath from the cigarette butt and spat in an extremely unhappy tone: "Things are already like this, what can we do? The emperor's actions are so chilling! If we continue like this, I'm afraid it won't be dealt with in two or three years.

It’s no good. By then, I’m afraid Dog Tartar will have recovered his strength! Alas..."

Li Yuanqing let out a puff of smoke, but he was calm and said with a smile: "Two brothers, although things are a little bad, they are not bad enough yet. At least~, our strength at this time does not have any

Isn't it an injury? You have to be strong to strike iron! As long as we wait with peace of mind and do our best, opportunities~ will definitely appear again. By the way, Brother Chen, is there any specific situation in the northwest? Before I set off for the expedition, I seemed to hear

However, some rioters have already started to cause trouble?"

Chen Jisheng took a deep puff of the cigarette butt and said with a wry smile: "Who wouldn't tell me? There has already begun to be noisy over there in Shaanxi. I heard that there is a very fierce leader of the rioters in Yanqing. His name is Gao Yingxiang, and they all claim to be...

Become the king."

"King Chuang?"

Chen Zhong couldn't help but sneer when he heard this: "Fuck! He really dares to scream! He is so fierce, why don't you try it with Beilu? Come to Liao and try with Jiannu?"

Chen Jisheng smiled and said: "It's just a bunch of clowns, nothing to worry about. However, it can divert some of the court's energy. Yuan Qing, I guess that Yuan Manzi and the court want to transfer you to Yulin. I'm afraid they want to take advantage of it."

Use your hands to deal with these rioters."

"Fuck! The imperial court has a bad idea. Isn't this killing people with a borrowed knife? If those ordinary people were not forced to a desperate road, who would take this step?"

Before Li Yuanqing could speak, Chen Zhong couldn't help but spit.

Li Yuanqing looked at Chen Jisheng, shook his head with a smile and said: "If this is really the case, Yuan Manzi has made a good plan. However, two brothers, please don't underestimate this King Chuang. This man is not someone to be trifled with.

ah!"

"Well?"

Chen Zhong quickly looked at Li Yuanqing: "Yuanqing, do you have any news about this king?"

Chen Jisheng also looked at Li Yuanqing with interest.

Li Yuanqing smiled and did not show off, and explained with a smile: "There are some, but not many. Speaking of things, it is a bit far away. I can't remember for a while whether it was the third year of Tianqi or the fourth year.

, I once sent someone to buy a horse, and I had some dealings with this person. This Gao Yingxiang was a horse dealer. It is said that he is good at riding and shooting, has good physical strength, and has some reputation in the northwest. He is like a Chao Gai.

What a character! We must not underestimate him."

"Chao Gai?"

Chen Jisheng's eyes couldn't help but narrow slightly.

Chen Zhong also smiled and said: "Yuan Qing, this guy's tone is not bad. Is there Song Jiang? These people really dare to rebel? However, this guy is a horse dealer, so he is really a person.

ah."

At the end of the sentence, Chen Zhong's expression became slightly more serious.

In fact, Li Yuanqing had never had contact with Gao Yingxiang... If so, Li Yuanqing was looking for an opportunity to have a good chat with him.

However, in later generations, Li Yuanqing actually did a little research on Gao Yingxiang and knew his life. At this time~, there was no need to make a draft when he was bragging.

Li Yuanqing knew that Chen Zhong and Chen Jisheng must look down on Gao Yingxiang and the others, so he naturally had to vaccinate them in advance.

This group of people will be the real ‘activists’ in the entire Ming Dynasty in the next ten, twenty, even thirty or forty years…

At this time, Chen Jisheng said with a smile: "Anyone who can be a horse dealer is definitely not a good person. This Gao Yingxiang really has some strategies. The big guys in the northwest are afraid that they will have a headache. Unfortunately, at this time,

But they can't make things worse..."

Of course Chen Zhong understood Chen Jisheng's deep meaning, but he couldn't help but shook his head and sighed, "Hey! It's really speechless for the court to do this! I just hate Huang Taiji for being so honest now. If he behaves rashly again

When the army comes, we won't be so passive!"

With Chen Zhong's temperament, even if he looked down on Gao Yingxiang and these idiots, if Chen Zhong really wanted to destroy them, Chen Zhong would definitely be unwilling to do so.

He also comes from a poor family, so he naturally knows what kind of life the poor people will have in the event of famine.

Li Yuanqing naturally understood the profound meaning of Chen Jisheng and Chen Zhong.

Compared with Chen Zhong, Chen Jisheng is obviously too utilitarian.

To a large extent, his character was the key reason why Chen Jisheng could not fully control Dongjiang after Mao Wenlong died...

Taking a deep breath from the cigarette butt, Li Yuanqing smiled and said: "Water from afar cannot quench the thirst of the near! Things in the northwest are so noisy, and it is not a good thing for either the court or the people. But we can't care so much now.

When the Clay Bodhisattva crosses the river, we still have to protect ourselves first."
