In Wei Ming's view, the proposition that misfortunes never come alone is correct. Because what can generally be called a curse is not a trivial matter for a person or a country or a nation. The probability of such a natural disaster is not high, and it is more artificial. In other words, if something has happened, someone wants to punish you. And if someone wants to rectify you, it will definitely not be just a one-off. The cost is high, the risk is high, and the success rate is low. Such things are generally not done by anyone. So it seems normal that one disaster is followed by another disaster. So when Wei Ming received that the Dutchman started to attack the Penghu Islands, he didn't feel any surprise.
"You mean, the Dutchman is already in contact with the rebel forces in our Daming country? How did you know? You can't talk nonsense about this?" Wei Ming frowned and looked at Ma Shun.
"Master Hou is absolutely true. We intercepted the Dutchman's letter to Xiangyang King Zhu Yiming, and ask Master Hou to check it." Ma Shun said, taking out a letter from his arms and handing it to Wei Ming. Wei Ming glanced at it and put the letter gently on the table. There are not many words on the letter, except for the name taboo and the signature, there are only two words, hands-on! It seems that if this letter is true, then King Xiangyang doesn't know how long he has been in contact with the Dutchman. Wei Ming did not know the specific actions. Where do you start? How to do it? I don't know how strong the opponent is. Fortunately, with this letter at this time, at least some targeted preparations can be made. Even if the time comes, he will not be caught off guard.
"Master Hou, how to deal with this matter?" Ma Shun said. According to his intention, he will now take the soldiers to copy the home of King Xiangyang. Give the King Xiangyang a crime of conspiracy to be executed, benefiting the country and the people and also benefiting oneself, why not do it? Since the establishment of World Number One, there has not been a single achievement that can be achieved, which makes every member of Dongfang Xiaomo and World Number One feel a great deal of pressure. The emperor has invested a lot in No. 1 in the world, and he invested it alone. All money and things came from the inner palace and did not go through the household department. This is the emperor's raising dead men for himself and establishing an intelligence network, which can be seen by anyone. If there is no achievement at all in the world, then the emperor will become a joke. And the emperor has become a joke, and the people in No. 1 in the world will not be happy anymore, that's for sure. The lightest penalty is also a reduction in funds. Who wants to get less money? Who can't get along with money
"How to deal with it? Cold treatment. By the way, has this matter been reported to the emperor?" Wei Ming said.
"Not yet." Ma Shun thought for a while, but decided to tell Wei Ming the truth. Although No. 1 in the World was funded and established by the emperor, the team inside was Wei Ming's team. Therefore, the current world number one is still willing to follow Wei Ming's will. If the will of Wei Ming and the emperor were in conflict, the probability that the whole world would stand on Wei Ming's side would be much higher.
"Well, let me tell the emperor about this matter first, so that he will be mentally prepared. Also, tell Dongfang Xiaomo to send spies to Xiangyang and pay close attention to the situation of the King of Xiangyang. It is not important to have many people, but the important thing Don't be horrified, you can still get first-hand information. I believe Dongfang Xiaomo is better at doing intelligence than me. Okay, you can go down first." Wei Ming said. Hearing what Wei Ming said, Ma Shun had to nod his head and go down to prepare.
"Come here, call Li Zicheng!" Wei Ming roared, and there was a response from outside the tent. Li Zicheng came to Wei Ming in a short while.
"Go down and get ready, we're leaving. Grandma's, it's only been a few days since we came here, we are going to move again." Wei Ming said with a bit of breath.
"What's wrong, Lord Hou, what happened again?" Li Zicheng said strangely. Things in Nanzhili are still a bit confusing, and no one is sure what will happen next. Maybe the next riot will not be far away. And now that Wei Ming is leaving Nanzhili, something important must have happened. Thinking of this, Li Zicheng couldn't help but chuckle. This is really troublesome!
"What else? The Dutchman is calling. Let's go, let's go to Guangdong to see what the army I built in the past has become. If this kid Lu Xiangsheng dares to give the army I built If it is ruined, I will pull its skin!" Wei Ming said viciously. But the smile on Wei Ming's face betrayed him. Li Zicheng scratched his head and followed Wei Ming with a smirk. Speaking of which, I haven't seen Lu Xiangsheng for several months, so I feel so panicked. When I saw him this time, I must have his ass pissed off. Grandma's, I didn't beat Laozi less last time, so I must find a place back this time. But when I thought about it, I was wrong and said, "Master Hou, if we leave, what should we do in Nanzhili? If we let those faint officials continue to mess around, the people will surely stand up and riot again. At that time, I’m afraid it’s not so easy to solve this time."
"You forgot someone." Wei Ming said mysteriously.
"Who is it." Li Zicheng's head didn't know what was in it. Forgetfulness is always better than memory. Let him fight and let him do what these literati do, it is better to kill him.
"Ying Tianfu Yin Wen Tiren. He is also considered a personal talent. If he uses it well, it is a great help. The Nanzhili affairs will be left to him. Arrange the way for him to go down step by step. You should not have any forks!" Wei Ming said. Now I can only comfort myself so much.
"Master Hou, General Shumo will speak bluntly. The general still thinks things in Nanzhili are more important. After all, Nanzhili is the center of gravity of the empire in the south. Even if those places along the coast are lost, it does not matter. Laizhou Prefecture, it is very easy to find a place close to the sea to establish a navy. But if Nanzhili is turbulent, things will not be that simple at that time." Li Zicheng said cautiously. He didn't finish speaking, but Wei Ming listened to it. Li Zicheng has made a lot of progress now. Originally I only wanted to fight with my fists, but now I also know to think about things with my head. If something goes wrong in Nanzhili, Wei Ming will be in a bad situation. The current Yingtian Mansion is equivalent to Luoyang in the Han and Tang Dynasties. It is the companion capital and the second capital. If there is a sudden change in the north, Nanjing will be the best choice for the next capital. But now that the accompaniment is lost, the matter is pretty big, and there is not much difference between losing the capital. There is a saying about merits and rewards, and of course there will be such a trick as punishment for crimes. When the time comes, the ruling and the opposition will tremble, and the emperor will be angry. Even if Wei Ming and the emperor have a good relationship, will they defend Ming? Whether they can defend Ming will have to draw a big question mark.
"I have decided, so don't say it. Go down to reorganize the army. The Yangzhou government's affairs have been resolved. Which guards are they from and let them go back to them? Let's take a light car, or the few people who came to go to Guangzhou. Wei Ming was too lazy to explain to Li Zicheng. Seeing that Wei Ming made up his mind, Li Zicheng no longer discouraged him. Although he has not yet recognized the Patriarch, Li Zicheng has always acted as Wei Ming's general. All I can do is do my job well. It's like this opinion. It's your business whether you mention it or not. If people accept or not, it's their business. If you are still here begging for nothing, then you are looking for a lot of money. No patron would like such a general.
After Li Zicheng went out, Wei Ming looked at Li Zicheng's back and smiled. Growth is good, which shows that my efforts are not in vain. What Li Zicheng saw was only some things on the surface. Due to different intelligence, experience, and thoughts, Wei Ming saw something farther than Li Zicheng. The princes in history are very honest, but why do they jump out now? Wei Ming didn't know this, and it became the first problem now. Also, Wei Ming doesn't know how many people are preparing to participate in this movement. Now I can only point the finger at Zhu Yiming. Is he really the master behind? Although the king of Xiangyang, Zhu Yiming, is strong and has a solid foundation, after the prince is cut, which prince can jump up on his own? Whether there is a bigger black hand behind it or whether there is an accomplice, this is something to be clarified. Rather than investigating them step by step, we might as well let them out. If nothing is wrong, it should be more than the Dutch family that are cooperating with them this time, and it is not impossible for Houjin Mongolia to the north. And if they want to make a difference, they must capture a city of special significance to prove their strength and create momentum. There is not much possibility in the capital. After all, the capital is heavily guarded, and there are a lot of elites and spies at the feet of the emperor. If you want to get things done there, you have to work hard, which obviously does not meet the current situation of the opponent. Then Ying Tianfu became the best choice. Now Ying Tianfu is a big bait that Wei Ming released for them, don't believe that they won't take the bait! According to Wei Ming's idea, the Dutchman's offense was the signal that things broke out, as evidenced by the letter. The north side should also be warned. When the fight on both sides was about the same, the vassals of the various vassals together took the Ying Tianfu, it should be like this. The script has been written, and once the actors are in place, a big drama is about to begin!
