Although Liu Kongzhao doesn't seem to have much martial arts aura, he always likes to be straightforward, so he didn't understand what Liu Yongxi means for a while: "What is the change in the Northern Affairs Bureau?"

Liu Yongxi was about to explain, but the prince Sunfan next to him had already understood: "There has changed in the Northern Affairs? Does it mean that Jianlu sent troops?"

Liu Yongxi shook his head and said, "Lu Daqi is so confident, it must be because of the changes in the northern affairs. But he didn't understand at all that if the thief wins, Jiangnan will naturally be in danger. But if Jianlu wins, he may not even be able to maintain the situation of transiting south..."

Although the governor of Huaiyang, Lu Zhenfei, had just defeated thousands of outposts from the thief Li Zilai in Huaibei a few days ago, for the newly born Southern Ming regime, the first thing to solve is survival problems. Whether it is the thief or Jianlu win, it will be bad news.

Wang Sunfan felt that Liu Yongxi’s words were very reasonable, and Yang Longyou had just come to say hello: “Zhengyi Bo, Brother Sunfan, and Young Master Yongxi, I have prepared a family dinner in Jige Lane tonight. Let’s go and have two drinks together?”

Yang Longyou's house is on the bank of the Qinhuai River, but Ma Shiying's house is in Jige Lane, so it is naturally Ma Shiying's treat tonight.

Since Wang Sunfan rushed up all the way with his political achievements, he was naturally not afraid of many friends: "Is it Ma Yaocao anxious? Or are you anxious first by your brother Longyou? I think Ruan Yuanhai's resumption problem can be put aside first. Since he has been waiting for so many years, he will not be in a hurry for a while!"

Yang Longyou could only smile bitterly and said, "The resumption of Ruan Dacheng must be released. The edict of the State Supervisor said that the person in the rebellion case was not allowed to be resumption. What else could he do besides waiting? The reason why I invited a few people over there was for Ma Shiying to enter the cabinet. If Ma Shiying cannot enter the cabinet, what should we Guizhou people do?"

Whether Ma Shiying can join the cabinet is not only the prerequisite for Ruan Dacheng to recover, but also the future of hundreds of Guizhou Township Party members. Yang Longyou himself has never been able to recover after he was dismissed from office in Chongzhen in the fifteenth year, and his three brother-in-law also fell at home.

Although he has mountains of money and silver at home, he usually spends a lot of money, and if he continues like this, he will definitely end up squandering the whole country.

In this case, it has become a consensus among them, Guizhou people. Yang Longyou clearly told Liu Kongzhao: "Zhengyi Bo, did Young Master Yongxi want to form a self-army in Jiangbei? There are now a lot of idle weapons and military uniforms in Fengyang's warehouses, which can be loaned to Young Master Yongxi for use. If Young Master Yongxi has any other needs, just talk to me!"

Although Yang Longyou's words were not very convincing, it actually showed that Ma Shiying had done everything to join the cabinet. Liu Yongxi immediately asked: "I will send someone to Fengyang to recruit refugees to buy horses. I wonder if Governor Ma can do it!"

Yang Longyou said very clearly: "Anyway, no matter who enters the cabinet, he must face the fact that Jiangbei has a new army!"

Originally, Ma Shiying and Yang Longyou would not make such a promise. Now that the four towns in Jiangbei are too big, the court is in a state of trouble. Establishing a new town naturally means more trouble, let alone consider the issue of Liu Yongxi and Liu Kongzhao and his son joining forces to fight against the court.

Since Ma Shiying is preparing to join the cabinet as the main and auxiliary, how could he cause trouble for himself?

But now Ma Shiying, Tian Yang, Yue Qijie, Yang Longyou and other village parties have become aware that if Ma Shiying cannot enter the cabinet, Guizhou people will gain nothing.

Although no matter what, Ma Shiying, who has gained the absolute trust of King Fu and has made decisions, should enter the cabinet, Shi Kefa also said that he would not stop Ma Shiying from entering the cabinet, and Yang Longyou himself ran from the center to contact him, naturally including Donglin and Fushe's old friends.

However, since Donglin can turn over the final edict of the State Administration, it is naturally not trustworthy in this matter.

Under such circumstances, Liu Kongzhao, the most influential sincerity among the Nanjing ministers, naturally became the object that Ma Shiying must strive for.

And Liu Kongzhao finally figured it out: "Since Ma Yaocao is optimistic about my Yongxi, then our Chengyi Bo Mansion will naturally not be behind. Yongxi, tell me directly what you want! If you want people, you want money, and you will give whatever you want!"

For Liu Yongxi, this is the biggest gain. He knew very well that the family of Chengyi Bo Mansion could at least arm the camp.

More importantly, Liu Kongzhao also has control over the Caojiang Navy. Although the resources of the Caojiang Navy cannot be said to be full of them, they are also extremely rich.

Moreover, what Liu Yongxi lacks most at the moment is the absolutely reliable veteran backbone. In the Caojiang Navy, the III admiral Cao Jiang, there are many people who are reliable as Zhou Zhisheng in the Caojiang Navy.

With the full support of Liu Kongzhao and Ma Shiying, the 2,500-man new army in Jiangbei can set up a team in the shortest time.

But Liu Kongxi always felt that his heart was full of depression. He looked back at the dark clouds in the north and sighed again.

But Lu Daqi's idea was completely different from Liu Yongxi. Shi Kefa originally wanted to blame Lu Daqi for a few words, but now he wanted to know the same thing as before: "This matter is serious? Wu Sangui really defeated the thief in front of Shanhaiguan?"

Lu Daqi only received the news from the north last night, but the information about the Battle of One Stone was very chaotic.

Some say that Wu Sangui's Guanning Army defeated the bandits in Shanhaiguan and had recovered the capital. Some say that Wu Sangui and the bandits are still in stalemate and have now asked Jianlu for help. Some news says that the bandits were not Wu Sangui's Guanning Army, but the 200,000 Manchu soldiers who suddenly arrived.

But one thing is very clear, that is, the thief Li Zicheng suffered a heavy blow at Shanhaiguan and has decided to retreat to the capital. Moreover, the Jianlu outside the pass has directly intervened in this battle, and the offensive and defensive momentum between the north and the south is likely to be completely reversed.

As the Minister of War, Lu Daqi was naturally the first person to come into contact with the border newspaper. He said excitedly: "The news is indeed that Wu Sangui has defeated 100,000 elite troops, and the defeat of the bandits is determined. But I don't know whether to borrow the power of Jianlu, but now there is no need to worry that those traitors may surrender to the bandits!"

The person who was very dissatisfied with the deletion of the thirteen words "excluding borders, rebellious cases, planning and private use" was not a Lu Daqi. After receiving the news that Wu Sanguishan Customs broke the thief, the Donglin Party members felt that there was no need to join the traitors with those rioters.

It was precisely with the full support of these Donglin backbone that Lu Daqi dared to re-enter this passage in his backing Shi Kefa's edict, blocking the road to restoration of many Donglin mortal enemies.

Shi Kefa still felt something was wrong: "But a gentleman is not a small number of people who have been dismissed because of the border, the scheming of the law, and the number of people who have been dismissed from office!"
