Chapter 278: Return to Shandong

"Dong Weng, things, it's a little bad......"

After more than half an hour, Master Liang hurriedly returned to the Zhou Palace, and respectfully came to Hou Sui.

"Oh?"

"Then Xu Changqing, what conditions did you put forward?"

Hou Sui was already in such a hurry, drank several pots of tea, and hurriedly suppressed the anxiety in his heart, and pretended to look at Master Liang calmly.

Master Liang smiled bitterly: "Dong Weng, the student met Xu Changqing, but he didn't give the student a chance to speak at all." I'm afraid, we were wrong from the beginning. Xu Changqing, you don't need us to ...... much."

After speaking, Master Liang bowed deeply, which was even more exaggerated than the little devil, but his eyes were secretly paying attention to the movement of Hou Sui's legs.

There will be a time to ride the wind and waves, and hang on the clouds and sail into the sea!

In the past 20 years, although he Liang Feng has never gone through the avenue, even if he has paid countless painstaking efforts and costs, and his head is bleeding, but he Liang Feng thinks that even if he can't pass the imperial examination, he still has great talent, but he lacks a chance!

The Hou Wei Pavilion Elder in front of him did give him a chance, but he only understood when he was really in the game......

The difference between this Hou Pavilion Elder and Xu Changqing is like the difference between a rabbit and a tiger!

Therefore, after recognizing the reality, he didn't hesitate too much, and bowed his head directly to Xu Changqing's tiger like a dog.

What Liang Feng didn't expect was that Xu Changqing did not set him any harshness, but gave him endless trust.

This made Liang Feng further understand that if Hou Ge Lao wanted to fight with Xu Changqing, he was destined to die without a place to be buried.

He Liang Feng finally grabbed this kind of opportunity with great difficulty and fought for his life, how could he let it go so easily?

Even if he is scolded as a 'second or five boy' and is notorious, how can he change reality, and it is more important to hug Xu Changqing's big thick legs?

"How, how is this good?"

Hou Sui couldn't help but age a lot in an instant, as if he was suffering from elderly Parkinson's, and his whole body was a little uncontrollable.

At this time, he also realized that his trust was too big.

Can the court officials not see this opportunity? But~, why doesn't anyone want to come to this troubled water?

No wonder they are aware of the dangers!

It's ridiculous that he has been away from the center of power for several years, but he still thinks that he has the talent of 'combining vertical and horizontal', and wants to have an empty glove white wolf and eat a big fat man in one bite.

It wasn't until he really faced this terrible reality that he understood how cruel reality really was and how naΓ―ve he was......

"Brother Liang, now, do you still have a clever plan to help your brother break this game?"

Looking at Hou Sui's trembling appearance, Master Liang kept shaking his head in his heart.

It's not better than not knowing, it's more frightening.

Luckily, fortunately!

God opened his eyes, and he made the right choice in time.

Otherwise, I'm afraid that he Liang Feng won't even be able to keep a little scum.

However, at this time, his core job was to attack the strategy, and he quickly adjusted his mentality, and said respectfully: "Dong Weng, for today's plan, if you want to break the situation, I'm afraid ...... You can only do it yourself. Although Xu Changqing is young and does not seem to have deep qualifications, his influence in the army is incomparable. Moreover, he is of noble blood and is the guard of the Son of Heaven, and it is almost impossible for them to pick on his thorns. Once you pick a thorn, it's time to turn your face......"

Hou Sui nodded slowly, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.

"Hey~."

After a while, he let out a long sigh, "This matter, in the final analysis, is the old man's big deal." That's it, the matter has come to this, and the old man has also let go of this old face. Brother Liang, you immediately hand over a letter of worship to Uncle Zhongyi, and the old man will visit him in person. ”

"Yes."

……

However, what Hou Sui never dreamed of was that in the evening, his prayer post was directly rejected by Xu Changqing, citing busy military affairs.

In the evening, Xu Changqing did have some small military affairs, and he had to accompany many soldiers to have dinner together.

But this meal was only a matter of a quarter of an hour, and after dinner, Xu Changqing returned to the room with Chu Xue and Zuo Mengmei......

It wasn't until the afternoon of the next day that Hou Sui handed over the third letter of worship one after another, and finally got Xu Changqing's reply and interviewed in the afternoon.

This made Hou Sui instantly like he was granted amnesty, which was really like passing the ghost gate in the imperial examination......

"Ge Lao, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. In the past few days, all kinds of affairs have been complicated, and it is really an evergreen sin to neglect the elders. ”

When Hou Sui came to Dongdaying, Xu Changqing had already been waiting outside the door for a long time, and warmly invited Hou Sui into the guest hall.

The two exchanged a few words, and at the beginning of the rain and dew, the bright and moving first snow personally served the fragrant tea, and the delicate appearance made Hou Sui slightly distracted for a while.

Fortunately, Hou Sui quickly came back to his senses and said with a wry smile: "Uncle, in the past few days, the old man has also been thinking a lot." Speaking of which, the old man is old, and now he can't keep up with the current rhythm in terms of energy and physical strength. ”

Xu Changqing smiled: "Elder Ge, where are you talking about this?" You can be old and strong, I am Ming, I need an old minister like you to stabilize the current situation. ”

Hou Sui's old eyes suddenly lit up.

Xu Changqing's words mean a bit big.

After pondering for a moment, he said: "Uncle, I don't know what you think about Kaifeng and retribution?" ”

Xu Changqing smiled and tasted the fragrant tea: "I don't know what the elder Ge has to think?" ”

Hou Sui was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

At this time, he finally understood what kind of choice he should make in order to get through the difficulties in front of him.

But by this time, he had no choice.

Hurriedly smiled: "Uncle, in the final analysis, you won the battle." This reward must be based on you. As for the matter of Kaifeng City, it is still subject to the people of Kaifeng City. Now, the imperial court really can't take out too much money and food for a while. ”

Xu Changqing smiled and didn't say anything, just looked at Hou Sui.

Hou Sui couldn't help but smile bitterly, but he could only meet Xu Changqing's gaze.

It's all in plain sight.

……

After reaching a real agreement with Hou Sui and becoming a community of interests, the next thing really went into orbit.

According to the current situation, if the imperial court wants to use troops against the thieves, it will have to wait for at least this year's tax payment to be seventy-seven, eighty-eight, and almost delayed until October and November.

However, this is only the smoothest scenario.

With Hou Sui, the Donglin bigwig, coming forward, the taxes in Jiangnan will drag on for ten days and half a month without any problems.

In addition, Hou Sui still has some relationship with the governor of the Grand Canal, and it can drag on for ten days and half a month.

Coupled with some miscellaneous relationships, it can be ensured that this year's taxes in Jiangnan must be after the New Year before entering Beijing!

At this time, the imperial court still owed Xu Changqing a lot of food and salary for the Battle of the Central Plains, not to mention the reward for the victory of the Great War.

This also means that Xu Changqing will almost be able to return at this time.

If the food and wages are not paid, it is absolutely impossible to send troops.

I can finally have some respite.

But Xu Changqing will definitely not be able to spend all his time on these trivial matters, and it is not surprising that at the end of the year, the Dorgon brothers will definitely make a move!

If the brothers want to sit on the throne under their butts, they must take Da Ming to sacrifice the flag!

In another time and space, this time the Qing army entered the customs, and Shandong was the most affected area.

Because the Qing army entered the customs several times, including the surrounding area of the Beijing Division, they were almost plundered.

Although the historical trajectory at this time is changing, Xu Changqing understands very well that this time Dolgon will not enter the customs, and once he enters the customs, the infringement on Shandong, to be precise, on the Shandong Left Association will definitely intensify!

Dogs can eat, so is it still a dog?

……

On August 18, Xu Changqing led the main force of the Model Army to officially set off for Shandong.

There are also tens of thousands of people in Kaifeng City.

In terms of rewards and court affairs, Xu Changqing handed over to Hou Sui, the old fritter.

It's actually very easy to deal with!

The core of Hou Sui is to give Xu Changqing a 'knight', although he can't be promoted to a marquis, but he can add a string of rewards behind Xu Changqing's 'Loyal Uncle' title, including gold medal arrows and the like.

In ordinary times, Xu Changqing naturally has no reason not to accept this, this is the name of righteousness.

But at this time, for the sake of the overall situation, Xu Changqing will definitely not accept it, but ask the court for the food and salary that they can't get at this time.

The two sides are now in a rhythm of pulling and dragging.

Of course, the current state of Kaifeng City is also a big problem.

Xu Changqing can be regarded as receiving a lot of benefits from them, especially on King Zhou's side.

But it's not complicated to deal with.

To put it bluntly, it is impossible for Kaifeng to resume production now and let the people enter the rhythm of normal life.

Whether it is King Zhou, Gao Mingheng, or Chen Yongfu, Huang Shu, these people in the bureau, understand better than anyone else.

Therefore, Xu Changqing left Mao Qun's 10,000 corps in Kaifeng, and almost 1,500 soldiers and auxiliaries, all of whom were converted into soldiers.

However, the smart Kaifeng City tycoons have already begun to transfer their industries to Xu Changqing's Shandong Left Association.

……

On August 21, the vanguard of the huge contingent arrived at Kaocheng and began to cross the Yellow River in turn.

Thousands of people are like forests, and thousands of people are like the sea.

At this time, Xu Changqing had already gathered more than 4,000 households and more than 20,000 people in Kaifeng City, plus nearly 30,000 people in the team itself, as well as the defeated soldiers and displaced people gathered from all over the place, the huge team had already exceeded 60,000, which was really a bit amazing.

Khao Cheng Pier Station.

The soldiers had already set up a large camp for Xu Changqing, and at the same time, they had also built many military facilities, including an observation tower.

It's flood season now.

Although it hasn't rained much these days, the weather has been very hot, and in this state, if you ask an experienced old farmer, you will understand that the terrible storm is not far away.

Even if Xu Changqing understands very well that the Yellow River during the Xiaoice River period cannot have a big flood, it is still easy to make a little wind and waves so that the team cannot cross the river.

At this time, standing on the high watchtower and looking at the past, there were dense figures everywhere, as well as countless chicken carts and mule carriages.

However, although everyone was hot and tired, everyone's faces were full of hope.

That's the desire for a new life!

They are about to enter the life of the Loyal and Righteous Uncles of Megatron.

But the most embarrassing problem is that there are too few ships.

Even if there were many boatmen around who rushed over quickly after learning about the preferential treatment given to them, and Liu Zeqing's help, it could add up to a thousand small boats.

According to this state, it will take at least seven or eight days for all the people to cross the river.

Fortunately, Xu Changqing was not in a hurry at this time, and reviewed the compilation team while walking.

With his back to Mother Dahai, even if it is a company system to support these people, Xu Changqing has no big problem.

Not to mention that there are many wealthy businessmen in Kaifeng.

In the past, in this kind of scene, Xu Changqing must be busy with a big head, and he may not be able to deal with it without his feet touching the ground.

However, at this time, Xu Changqing was a comfortable horse.

With the first snow, Zuo Mengmei, Mo'er and the women of the hot bar, they comfortably dominated the overall situation on the high platform.

Li Yan's guy is really a bit violent.

In terms of handling government affairs, he can throw Xu Changqing at least ten streets.

At the beginning, Xu Changqing did everything himself, but then he saw that Li Yan not only handled it cleaner than himself, but also made the people more grateful to him, so Xu Changqing threw all these jobs to him.

Li Yan also understands very well that whether he can take the throne of the military advisor or not, the situation in front of him is the best way to vote for his name, and he is working harder and harder.

The red lady who has been able to start to handle her relationship with Xu Changqing correctly has some unspeakable grievances.

Xu Changqing's house is obviously calling her husband as an animal.
