By the time Li Zixiao returned to Tamna Island, the time had reached January 3 of the 14th year of Chongzhen (1642).

Just two days after Li Zixiao returned to Tamna Island, the Liaohai Sea was sealed.

At the same time, Li Zixiao, who had just returned to Tamna Island, received several major messages one after another, each of which was shocking.

The first of them is the news of Li Zicheng's capture of Luoyang.

"General, did the thief really take Luoyang?" Luo Chao asked in disbelief.

"Yes." On the contrary, Li Zixiao was not too surprised.

Moreover, Li Zixiao handed the information about the fall of Luoyang to Luo Chao and others, and several generals of the White Dragon Army gathered together to look at it.

And Li Zixiao focused on it, it was a small note left in his hand and attached to the information of the 'Fall of Luoyang'.

There was only one sentence on the small note: General, Wei does not disgrace his mission, everything goes well.

After Li Zixiao read the words on this note, a smile appeared on his face, and then he reached out to tear it to pieces, of course he understood the meaning of Qi Wei's words.

Immediately, Li Zixiao opened the second envelope, which contained another piece of information sent by Zhang Fugui.

After Li Zixiao finished reading it, his face was a little gloomy.

"General, what's wrong?" Zhou Dazhu walked over and saw that Li Zixiao's face was not very good, so he asked carefully.

"See for yourselves." Li Zixiao handed the information to Zhou Dazhu.

"Daring, the Dog Emperor is trying to force us to rebel!" After Zhou Dazhu finished reading it, he roared angrily.

It turned out that on the second piece of information, it was written that Chongzhen officially canonized Wei Hong and Qi Wei ten days ago, and they were General Zhongyi and General Zhongyong, and the rank was directly equal to Li Zixiao.

In fact, Chongzhen appointed both of them as deputy commanders-in-chief, one to guard Ruzhou and the other to guard Yangzhou.

Previously, Chongzhen had ordered Li Zixiao to lead his troops north, accept the command of Hong Chengchou, the governor of Jiliao, and go to Jinzhou to prepare for a decisive battle with the Tartars.

Li Zixiao is not stupid, how could he go to that troubled water, in the end, he knows the result of this Songjin battle very well.

In this battle, Hong Chengchou led a group of pig teammates, even if Hong Chengchou was very capable of leading the troops, he was swollen by the pit of these pig teammates, and finally the Ming army was defeated.

Li Zixiao is improvising with his Shangsongjin, he might as well go it alone, find another way, and act as a partial division.

Taking advantage of the strength of the whole country and the decisive battle between the Tartars and the Ming army in Jinzhou, he found the weakness of the Tartars and gave him a blow.

In fact, when Chongzhen gave Li Zixiao an order, Li Zixiao was no longer in Xuzhou, and the one in the Zhenguo General's Mansion was just his stand-in.

Qian Guangyuan and others did not accept Chongzhen's order according to Li Zixiao's previous explanation, using Li Zixiao's serious illness as an excuse and the main force of the White Dragon Army fighting against thieves in Ruzhou.

This made Chongzhen extremely dissatisfied with Li Zixiao, but he did not give any more orders.

However, a group of ministers led by Chen Xinjia in the DPRK and China took the opportunity to impeach Li Zixiao for disrespecting the holy order, relying on the soldiers to respect himself, and he was already rebellious.

Chongzhen was already suspicious, which made Chongzhen also start to be wary of Li Zixiao.

Even, Chen Xinjia took the opportunity to offer advice to Chongzhen, so that Li Zixiao was seriously ill at this time, deprived Li Zixiao of his military power, and controlled the elite of the White Dragon Army in his hands.

In fact, it was Chen Xinjia who aimed at the elite force of the White Dragon Army and wanted to take the opportunity to control it.

At first, Chongzhen was still hesitant and did not listen to Chen Xinjia's proposal.

However, with the fall of Luoyang and the killing of King Fu, Chongzhen was furious, and what was even worse was that Lu Xiangsheng, who fled to Kaifeng, directly gave Chongzhen a twist.

In the recital, he described the Battle of Luoyang in detail, and suspected that Li Zixiao had deliberately avoided the battle by staying in Qi Wei's department in Ruzhou.

It was precisely because Qi Wei saw Lu Xiangsheng's twist and turn that he was furious and decided to deprive Li Zixiao of his military power and decided to accept Chen Xinjia's proposal.

Of course, it is impossible for Chongzhen to directly order the abolition of Li Zixiao's Zhenguo general, after all, Li Zixiao's family has not committed anything, so you can be deposed at will, not to mention whether Li Zixiao will rebel because of this.

This decision alone will arouse the jealousy of other generals in the Ming Dynasty, and Chongzhen obviously will not do this.

He listened to Chen Xinjia's suggestion, promoted the two generals Wei Hong and Qi Wei in Li Zixiao's hands, and directly promoted the two to the same official positions as Li Zixiao.

This meaning is very obvious, and it can be regarded as indirectly co-opting Wei Hong and Qi Wei to weaken the military power in Li Zixiao's hands.

At this time, Zhou Dazhu saw the content part of love, so he was angry and directly scolded Chongzhen as the 'dog emperor'.

"Don't worry, Lao Zhou, continue to look down." Luo Chao next to him patted Zhou Dazhu's shoulder, motioned for him to extinguish the fire, and said.

Sure enough, it was written in the back information that Qi Wei and Wei Hong were very decisive and did not accept Chongzhen's reward, claiming that they were Li Zixiao's subordinates and only accepted Li Zixiao's appointment, which made Chongzhen even more annoyed.

Subsequently, Chongzhen was furious and directly dismissed General Li Zixiao Zhenguo, as well as Qi Wei and Wei Hong and others.

However, what's the use, even if Li Zixiao is white at this time, he can still easily command the White Dragon Army, and the same is true for Qi Wei and Wei Hong.

"Haha, I'll just say, Lao Wei and Lao Qi will know how to choose." At this time, Zhou Dazhu said with a smile.

Li Zixiao on the side was also relieved in his heart, even if he believed Qi Wei and Wei Hong again, if the two of them accepted Chongzhen's appointment and reward at this time, Li Zixiao would be suspicious and uneasy.

After all, in that case, the two of them were indeed in danger of breaking away from the White Dragon Army, but Qi Wei and Wei Hong's final decision was to choose to stand on Li Zixiao's side.

The last piece of information was still Qi Wei's, he told Li Zixiao that Li Zicheng would most likely not give up going east to Kaifeng, and asked Li Zixiao if he would continue to proceed according to the original plan.

Li Zixiao replied to Qi Wei: Everything is as usual, try to protect Kaifeng.

Subsequently, this order was brought back to Haizhou by the fleet, and it would reach Qi Wei in Ruzhou in a few days.

And at this time, the king of Joseon, Li Liang, also sent people to find Li Zixiao in a hurry, because the envoy sent to Seoul by Huang Taiji arrived.

As soon as the Tartar envoy arrived in Seoul, he directly questioned Li Liang about whether he knew the whereabouts of the White Dragon Army.

Of course, Li Liang didn't dare to admit it, he directly vetoed it, and he couldn't admit it if he was killed, Li Liang appeased the Tartar envoy and hurriedly sent someone to Tamluo Island to find Li Zixiao.

"Go back and tell your king, and let him do whatever he wants."

After sending away the North Korean envoys, Li Zixiao whispered to himself: "It's time to use the hounds." ”

Then, Li Zixiao called Shuichiro Yoshino and Yokokawa Fujino, and after giving an explanation, the two of them took 100 people overnight, crossed the narrow strait, landed on the land of North Korea, and went to Seoul to carry out the mission.
