On the second day of the Lunar New Year, at the beginning of the night, the street where the Quanzhou Post House is located suddenly became lively. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoIn fact, since yesterday, the street where Quanzhou Yifeng is located has been closed, and the county soldiers have three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, and they have checked the pedestrians very well, of course, there was no one on the street yesterday. After all, it's the first day of the Lunar New Year, and everyone is basically at home.

The huge Taiping ship docked to the port yesterday, and the news that Princess Zhaohua of Dachu had returned to the province had already spread in Quanzhou City. This evening, Princess Zhaohua will set up a banquet in the post house to entertain guests, almost all the people in Quanzhou have received an invitation sticker, of course, this invitation is prepared by Hu Yicai, the county guard of Quanzhou, Princess Zhaohua just used a seal.

The princess held a banquet, and no one dared not to come. And this princess is not an ordinary emperor relative, that is the current queen of the Ming Dynasty, although the founding of the Ming Dynasty is short, but in recent years, it has played a majestic style, the advantage of the armor, which is terrifying. Moreover, for these people, it is not an opportunity, and it is always a good thing to be able to leave a good fate in front of such a big person.

Zhou Li changed his general's armor this year, changed into a scribe's clothes, and personally stood at the gate to welcome guests, but as far as his one-eyed dragon image is concerned, even if he changes his appearance, he can't change the murderous aura of Ling Ling on his body.

He was a celebrity in Quanzhou before.

When Hu Yicai and Ning Zhiwen, the head of the Ning family, both came together, the door of the post house finally closed slowly.

Although the wind was cold outside, the inside of the hall was warm like spring. The entire post house completely vacated the hall on the first floor for tonight's banquet, but even so, after dozens of tables were placed, the hall was still slightly crowded. Princess Zhaohua is naturally on the top seat, with two on the left and right, sitting on the Quanzhou county guard and the main book, and officials at all levels first. On such an occasion, even if Ning Zhiwen is called Quanzhou Yinshou, he can only sit farther away, after all, his identity is a squire, and he has no official position.

Princess Zhaohua looked at the guests with a smile on her face, but she was thinking about how much military expenses she could get today, her eyes slowly swept over, and she stopped on Ning Zhiwen's face for a moment.

Ning Zhiwen naturally knew the true purpose of today's banquet. He didn't care about money, if he could use it to make a good relationship in front of Princess Zhaohua, it would be great, especially after seeing the giant ship that was now docked in the harbor.

If a country is determined to do something, the energy that bursts out of it is not something that a family can imagine, and the Ning family does not want to build a giant ship like you, and he has the technology to build shipbuilding, but the corresponding investment is too great, and it is completely unnecessary for the current Ning family. The existing three building ships can already meet Ning's needs.

Ning Zhiwen knew that since the Ming State could build the first ship, then in the near future, there would definitely be a second and third ships launched one after another, but it was not clear what the Ming State's maritime policy was.

Today may also be an opportunity to test Ming Guo's intentions in this regard in front of Princess Zhaohua, if Ming Guo is really ready to vigorously develop ocean sailors, Ning Zhiwen feels that if the Ning clan wants to survive, then he has to find another way.

In fact, there are only two ways. First, wash and sleep. Giving up the promising profession of piracy, the Ning clan had completed the primitive capital accumulation anyway, and in the past few years, had already purchased fields, shops, and workshops on land. Second, gritting his teeth, building a few more big ships, and then uniting with the Bozhou Zhou clan, it is not impossible to compete with a country's naval division. It would be good for everyone to make sure that the well water does not interfere with the river water. However, taking a big risk in this way, and going against a country, it is very likely that there will be unforeseen risks.

But if the Ming Dynasty does not have the intention of building a deep-sea ocean-going naval division, and the warships are only built to resist Qi, then he doesn't have to worry.

I hope it's the second one. Ning Zhiwen thought about his thoughts and raised his head, but saw that Min Ruoxi's bright eyes were resting on his body, and he hurriedly smiled and bowed over.

The door was silently closed, and the room fell silent. Min Ruoxi stood up slowly, her eyes swept over everyone's faces, and everywhere she went, even Hu Yicai and Ning Zhiwen lowered their eyelids slightly. Princess Da Chu, Queen Da Ming, these two names are enough to crush people.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it is Princess Zhaohua of Dachu who is standing here today to entertain you." Min Ruoxi waved his hand, and a guard behind him immediately put a brocade box on the desk in front of Min Ruoxi, opened the brocade box, and took out the seal letter of Princess Min Ruoxi Zhaohua from inside.

"Da Chu is in trouble." Min Ruoxi doesn't talk nonsense, and the beginning is clear. "Ruoxi, as the princess of the Chu country, naturally can't sit idly by, and this return to the mother country is to do her best for the survival of Great Chu. All the princes here are all the courtiers and people of Dachu, are they willing to follow this princess to survive and die? ”

Who would dare to say a word?

In the hall, everyone stood up, bowed, and said loudly, "I wish to do the work of dogs and horses." ”

"Very good, the palace comes from the waterway, the first stop is Quanzhou, the palace really did not misunderstand the loyalty and patriotism of the princes, please sit down!" Min Ruoxi pressed down with both hands.

"Da Chu is now in turmoil, this is an undeniable fact, and the palace doesn't want to deceive everyone, the imperial brother is struggling in Luzhou now, but it's not like some people think, he has already reached a dead end." Min Ruoxi sneered: "Before the departure of this palace, I had already begged His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom, and now, His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty has promised to send troops. Today, this palace will tell you about it. ”

"Listen to you!" Hu Yicai owes himself.

"If you are a well-informed person here, you must know a lot of things. In Zhaoguan, Wu Ling, the general of the Ming Dynasty, has been ready to fight, tens of thousands of elites can attack at any time, and the cavalry has already stepped into the territory of Qi State. In the northwest, Lu Feng, the general of the Ming Dynasty, assisted Xinning County to defend Wu Teng and had broken through Lingchuan City. Min Ruoxi said slowly. If necessary, Daming will also send additional troops, in a word, Daming will not sit idly by and watch the Qi State destroy the Chu State. ”

Everyone in the room nodded slightly, from the general situation, if the Qi State really destroyed the Chu State, it would be quite unfavorable for the Ming State, and the preservation of the Chu State was also the interests of the Ming Dynasty, Min Ruoxi's words were true.

Looking at everyone's expressions, Min Ruoxi said lightly: "Let's talk about some news that you may not know yet, I believe it will make everyone more confident in the battle of Da Chu." ”

Everyone immediately pricked up their ears, although they were deaf and blind, compared to Min Ruoxi, they were deaf and blind. Since Min Ruoxi said that everyone doesn't know this, it must be something that everyone has never heard of.

"General An Ruhai, led the elite soldiers, crossed the Luoying Mountains, and invaded the territory of Qi State, which is now several counties of Lianke Qi State, and the army is committing suicide to Chang'an City."

"General Jiang Tao under the command of General Cheng Wuben, with 10,000 cavalry, has got rid of Zhou Jiyun, the general of Qi State, and also committed suicide to Chang'an of Qi State.

As soon as these two news came out, the hall immediately applauded. Everyone here, after all, is from the Chu State, and in the midst of the news of a great defeat, they are naturally elated to hear such two exciting good news.

Only people like Hu Yicai and Ning Zhiwen can truly understand that these two military horses, killing into the hinterland of Qi with the attitude of moths throwing fire, are just one thing, forcing the emperor of Qi to dispatch the main army in Luzhou to encircle and suppress them, so as to relieve the pressure on the Chu army trapped in Luzhou and create conditions for breaking through.

In other words, even if the Emperor of Chu successfully broke through, these two troops and horses would definitely not be able to come back.

The words are only half said, that is the art of the speaker, Min Ruoxi is not lying, as for how to judge, that is someone else's business.

But then, Min Ruoxi's words immediately shook the audience.

"The palace has received the latest information, Cheng Gong, the secretary of the Great Chu Army, has led the main force of the 30,000 eastern border army to get rid of the tracking of the Qi army and is retreating all the way to Jinghu, and Cheng Gong will build a second line of defense in Jinghu."

There was an uproar in the hall, Min Ruoxi's meaning was very clear, building a second line of defense in Jinghu was equivalent to giving up the six eastern counties, and once the six eastern counties gave up, with Jinghu as the defense line, then Quanzhou would no longer be a paradise.

"Is Your Highness serious? Da Chu really wants to give up the six eastern counties? One of the officers stood up, his voice shaking.

"Exactly!" Min Ruoxi nodded affirmatively: "The six eastern counties can no longer be defended, Cheng Gong's strategy is Lao Cheng's plan to seek the country, only in this way can Da Chu stabilize the front and strive for development." Min Ruoxi's fierce gaze swept over everyone in the venue: "Presumably, at this moment, everyone also knows the purpose of my coming here." Cheng Gong traveled all the way, people were sleepy and lacking, after arriving at Jinghu, it was necessary to build a line of defense immediately, at this time, he most needed the support of the whole Chu, people, things, money, the more the merrier, the palace invited you to come today, is to want to make a good fate with you, someone out of people, money out of money, there are things out of things, the whole country, work together, in order to tide over the difficulties together. If the skin does not exist, the hair will be attached, I think everyone understands this truth, and I don't want to repeat it here. ”

Ning Zhiwen's heart trembled slightly, it turned out that the princess wanted not only money, but also materials and people. He raised his head and stared at Min Ruoxi, if it was an important person, he was afraid that the target would be himself. With Zhou Li, the second and fifth boys, Princess Zhaohua must be clear about her details. What is the situation in Jinghu? There are many lakes and rivers, and if Cheng Wuben uses Jinghu Lake as a line of defense, then he will need a large number of ships, sailors, and sailors.

Sure enough, the person who came was not good, and there was no good feast!
