"Yang Kedong has returned to Bozhou?" Zhang Ti took a deep breath, leaned back on the chair, and his eyes were a little deeper.
“Your Majesty, we have been here for a few days. We have also arranged for two people to be there with two cages of carrier pigeons so that we can keep in touch at any time.” The middle-aged man standing at the bottom replied respectfully.
"Very good, Gu Gu, your uncle is old and no longer has the ambition and courage of the past. Gu hopes that you can take over all his connections and manpower in the Dragon Guard. You cannot let Lu Song take over everything, especially
In the south, it is our territory, there is no reason to give it to Lu Song!" Zhang Ti stared at the other party.

Gu Gu hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, my uncle's side, I'm afraid..."
"I know his current state of mind. He is timid and hesitant. In addition, his father's side is also uncertain now. Huh,..." Zhang Ti rubbed the armrest of the chair and said quietly: "I seek wealth in danger, sit in the room.
Can we just wait for the opportunity? Even Gu has the courage, but he doesn’t?"
Gu Fang didn’t dare to talk to me.
"Okay, I know about this. Gu did what Yang Yinglong asked Gu to do for him. Also, as I said, Gu will not regret what he promised. As long as Gu can wait for the position of Dabao and return to his native land.
The matter of exile can be handled by the imperial court and the Xuanwei Department through consultation, and it will not be too harsh..."
A glimmer of light flashed across Zhang Ti's majestic eyes, "Huguang and Sichuan might as well relax a little. Whatever he needs, we can provide him with food, salt, armor, weapons, arrows, everything..."
"Your Majesty, the Yang family has asked if they can provide a batch of firecrackers?" Gu Fang hesitated, "He said that since Liaodong can provide free firecrackers to the Mongols, then Bozhou is at least under the rule of the Zhou Dynasty.
Three to five hundred firecrackers shouldn’t be a problem, right?”
Zhang Ti sneered and turned to the side, "Mr. Chu, what do you think?"
"No." Chu Qi shook his head categorically on the side: "Liaodong gave the Chahar people fire blunderbuss. That is known to the Ministry of War and the cabinet. Moreover, Feng Tang, as the governor of Jiliao, has the power and responsibility to make temporary changes, but Huguang and Sichuan
Although we have some connections over there, if hundreds of firecrackers flow into Banzhou, it will definitely lead to a thorough investigation by Captain Long. Master Gu cannot hide it, but it will expose us."
Zhang Ti nodded, Yang Yinglong was available, but it would be a bit naive to rely on Yang Yinglong for help, or even think it was a trump card. He had to rely on himself for everything. Zhang Ti had a very clear understanding of this.
What's more, the situation has not yet entered the period that he is most looking forward to, and many things must be done with caution. Zhang Ti is not willing to alert the enemy at this time.
"In this way, let's give a reply to the Bozhou side first, saying that there are not many fire guns in Huguang and Sichuan, and they cannot be easily mobilized at the moment. Let them calm down for a while. When the time is right, they will naturally not be short of him, with hundreds of fire guns.
It’s just a gun, I’ll give him two thousand when the time comes!”
Zhang Ti's delaying strategy won Chu Qi's nod, "Your Majesty, this is a good idea. It can stop Yang Yinglong from taking rash actions for the time being and let him wait for our call. Once the Chahar people invade the south in September or October, it may be the right opportunity."
.”
"Is Lin Dan Batur really so ambitious?" Zhang Ti couldn't help but take a breath, "I think there is something weird about a young boy under twenty having such courage."
"Your Majesty, it's just that we have some tacit understanding with Nurhaci." Chu Qi Yaoshan smiled, "I went to Ning Yuanbo's house the day before yesterday and discussed this matter with Ning Yuanbo. Ning Yuanbo said, insert Han (
Chahar) has always been ambitious, thinking that he is a golden family and wants to unify Mongolia. However, the Donglu are now gaining momentum, so Lindan Batur is a little suspicious. This time, there must be Nurhachi's methods involved, so that Lindan Batu can be defeated.
You have the ambition to invade the south."
Zhang Ti was overjoyed and then became worried, "Li Chengliang said it clearly, but doesn't that mean that Nurhaci may also be able to fish in troubled waters?"
"Your Majesty, Uncle Ning Yuan and I have analyzed that within ten years the Donglu will not be able to pose a real threat to the Great Zhou Dynasty. At most, they can make some gains in Liaodong, so there is no need to worry too much."
Zhang Ti nodded, and he also understood what Chu Qi meant. If he couldn't sit on the position of Dabao in ten years, then everything would be an illusion. Let alone ten years, he would probably see the result within five years.
Seeing Prince Yizhong nod, Chu Qi continued: "Moreover, Donglu's main energy can only be placed outside the pass, which is not necessarily a bad thing for us. At least the two towns of Liaodong and Jizhen are unable to enter the pass, which is good for us."
Zhang Ti nodded silently, and then sighed again, "Mr. Chu, is this the only way I can go?"
“Your Majesty, we have no advantage in the North, inside or outside the capital city, and the Supreme Emperor is unwilling to clearly support you. Although the situation is still unclear, we must be fully prepared.”
Chu Qi knew that his master always still had some illusions, but he would eventually understand that the capital city was not his home court.
"It is a good thing for Tang Binyin to make preparations for going south in advance. There should be no mistakes in Jiangnan. In my opinion, if possible, Jia Jing might as well go south. He will stop in Jinling or Yangzhou and get some things done first. He and
The relationship with Zhen Yingjia is irreversible, and Zhen Yingjia can also accept him going to Jiangnan. In this way, Tang Binyin and Zhen Yingjia can win the hearts of the people for the prince in the open, and Jia Jing can also make arrangements secretly."
Zhang Ti hesitated, "Mr. Chu, Captain Long is staring at Jia Jing very closely..."
“Didn’t the prince arrange a substitute for Jia Jing a long time ago? You can arrange for Jia Jing to fake his death at the right time. After the dead person is put on makeup, it is difficult to see the clues, so he is said to have died of burning and swelling after taking cinnabar..."
Chu Qi knew that Prince Yizhong valued Jia Jing very much, not only because he had always followed the prince, but also because Jia Jing did have some abilities. He once served as Zuo Yude in Zhan Shifu, and later served as a transfer official in Jiangxi and Zhejiang.
Si Langzhong, the prince was deposed as Prince Yizhong when he was appointed as the Young Master of Zhanshi Mansion. He was also impeached by the Metropolitan Procuratorate for his inability to assist the prince. After he was dismissed from office, he became a monk and went to Xuanzhen Monastery to practice Taoism.
It can be said that if Jia Jing had not become a monk to practice Taoism to protect himself, it would not have been Wang Zinian's turn to take charge of the prince's wealth. But even so, the prince had never forgotten Jia Jing, and Chu Qi knew this very well.
Even Chu Qi vaguely knew that the reason why Jia Jing was dismissed from office was largely because Jia Jing repeatedly persuaded the prince to sever ties with that person in the palace, but the prince always agreed on the surface but secretly continued to disconnect, which resulted in a catastrophe. The prince
Although he was deposed as a prince, Jia Jing, the young master, became ineffective in doing things.
Zhang Ti's eyes lit up, this was a good idea.
Jia Jing had worked as a doctor in the Ministry of Household Affairs for many years and had many contacts with officials in Zhejiang and Jiangxi. He was familiar with the situation. Moreover, the Jia family was the head of the four oldest families in Jinling and had deep connections in South Zhili. Jia Jing went to South Zhili.
Bian can then join forces with Zhen Yingjia to integrate the resources in Jiangnan overtly and covertly to lay a solid foundation for himself.
Nodding slightly, Zhang Ti thought for a moment and said, "This is feasible. Mr. Chu, I will leave it to you to arrange this matter. You must be careful and there will be no problems."
************
When Feng Ziying arrived at the gate of Jia's Mansion, before she even got out of the car, someone rolled and crawled out of the gatehouse.
After taking a closer look, it was Zhang Cai. Feng Ziying also knew that Zhang Cai was a high-ranking figure in the house, but the people in his house were very close to Zhou Rui's family, so he was considered a semi-prominent figure among the servants.
.
“Hey, Zhang Cai, why are you so impatient?”
"Sir, you are here. How dare you sit on the door like a bunch of blind people and not rush the carriage to the yard for me?" Zhang Cai smiled with a smile on his face, and his wrinkles were squeezed out.
, with his body half-bowed like a shrimp, he followed Feng Ziying who got out of the car step by step, "Shall I see the gentlemen first, or go to the garden first?"
This sentence really stopped Feng Ziying. He originally didn't plan to see Jia She and Jia Zheng. He just wanted to see the two daughters Daiyu and Baochai. He didn't know how long he could stay inside. Maybe tomorrow.
As soon as he asked himself to leave for Yongping Mansion, he didn't have enough time, so he hurriedly came to see Daiyu Baochai first.
It's just that when Zhang Cai asked this guy, he felt a little embarrassed. He hesitated for a moment and then said: "Are you two gentlemen here?"
“The eldest master is here, but the second master is not.”
Zhang Cai's words made Feng Ziying breathe a sigh of relief. As long as Jia Zheng was not here, he thought for a while and said, "Since Uncle Zheng Shi is not here, I will come to visit the two masters together another day. Today I will go to the garden first."
"
Zhang Cai nodded repeatedly and walked in with Feng Ziying, "Over there, Mr. Bao..."
Feng Ziying wished she could kick this guy aside. He only wanted to see the girls, so how could he care about meeting Baoyu? But he looked so sincere, so you really couldn’t say anything.
"Oh, Baoyu is here too?" Feng Ziying asked casually, still thinking about how to deal with it, and Zhang Cai added: "Not only is the second master Baoyu here, but the third master Huan is also back today. If he knew that he was coming, he would definitely
I'll be here immediately."
It's over. Feng Ziying knows that with Zhang Cai's virtue, as soon as he enters the garden, this guy will immediately rush to Baoyu and Jia Huan to report the news. Feng Ziying is afraid that he has not said a few words to Daiyu Baochai.
It only takes two people to get here.
Taking a deep breath, Feng Ziying thought for a while and then said: "In this case, Zhang Cai, go and talk to Baoyu and Huan. I will go after a while and let the chef spend some money. I will have lunch with Baoyu and Huan."
Let's eat together, so that we can have a nice talk with the two brothers. I'll go to the garden first."
"Okay." Zhang Cai was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly, "You can eat at Mr. Bao's place. Mr. Bao will definitely be very happy."
