Zheng Liqi's face turned pale, and if there was anger in his eyes, he would not continue to fight for it. He was very close to the Changwen Marquis Mansion and had a good relationship with Xu Zixian, but it was not a true ally who had entrusted life and death. It was inevitable to fight for the Nan'an Marquis Mansion and Changwen Marquis Mansion, but it was completely impossible to ask Zheng Liqi to do everything.

Xiao Zan, Zhao Debang and others were close to King Zhao, and at this time they were naturally indifferent or casual. The situation in the Dongfan was not good, but it was a good thing for them.

Yang Shiwei coughed violently for a while, and after the summer began, his cough and asthma became worse. This old magistrate was the head of a major town in the southeast. He was in charge of the capital of Fujian Road and ruled millions of people, with population and wealth levels, all of which were the first in Fujian Road.

But he was quite helpless about the current overall situation. King Zhao, Lin Douyao, Zheng Liqi, Xiao Zan, Zhao Debang, and other officials in charge of military, political and economic supervision from Fujian were all able to calculate and fight internally, and no one was devoted to national affairs.

They don’t need to explain too much to the top and the bottom. The central position is weak and the place is disintegrating. Yang Qiwei was thinking with heartache when he was coughing and asthma. Maybe after three hundred years of treatment and chaos, it’s time to regain chaos in the world?

"That's it." Lin Douyao said: "If you send more people to the sea, Penghu, and inquire about the news from multiple sources, if the pirates really want to attack the Dongfan, you need to remind the Marquis of Nan'an to prepare early."

"What the appeaser said is very true."

“This is done.”

Many red-robed officials stood up, and King Zhao walked out with a reserved smile on his face. Unless he was a blind man, he could see that King Zhao was in a good mood.

Zheng Liqi's face was full of helplessness, and Yang Shiwei, who was full of depression and coughing and gasping. When the two arrived outside Yimen, Zheng Liqi said, "Mr. Yang should take care of her health. The current Fujian Road and Fuzhou are not short of Mr. Yang."

"What's the use?" Yang Shiwei shook his head and said, "It's a scholar who has no use. Now I understand. King Yue of Jianzhou was rampant, because he had mastered more than ten armies of the wing army. King Zhao ignored him, and Lin Douyao should not see it. Xiao Zan never said anything on the chapter. The center knew it clearly, but he could only pretend to be stupid. Han Zhong was known as the name of the prime minister, and he was a bullshit, which caused a great change in the capital. Da Gan of this dynasty was killed in the mansion, and unprecedented things were in his hands. He was free from morality and could not suppress it. I think this dynasty was about to end the Chongde era."

Zheng Liqi was so scared that he lost his soul and looked like a dirt. He held Yang Shiwei's hand and said, "Duke Yang, be careful of words, Mr. Yang, be careful of words!"

"Okay." Yang Shiwei sighed and said, "I was really angry, but I was really anxious as the royal genius was about to be destroyed."

"But we can do nothing."

"Yes." Yang Shiwei smiled bitterly and said, "This is what I am most worried about."

Zheng Liqi lowered his voice and said, "The Changwen Hou Mansion has been searching for famous doctors everywhere in Fuzhou these days, but I think it is not very effective. The Nan'an Hou Mansion was in Fuzhou, Mingzhou, Hangzhou, Jiangling and Guangzhou two months ago, and asked for famous doctors who can cure the plague for tens of thousands of yuan. The candidates don't know how many of them are, but not many of them have real knowledge. Many people have no choice but to apply for the recruitment. In the end, they have nothing to gain when they go to the Dongfan. The Nan'an Hou Mansion just gave travel expenses and asked them to return home by themselves. Only a few of them have real knowledge, but there is no good way. They were just hired to stay in the Dongfan to become a medical official. According to the information I have obtained, it can be confirmed that Nan'an Hou was indeed infected with the epidemic and had severe symptoms. This is really a disaster."

Yang Shiwei's heart moved and said, "I may try to do this."

"That's the best." Zheng Liqi's eyes showed joy, and he said, "In this world, people say that Wang Yue is a traitor. In fact, I think he is the one who understands it. Only by owning troops can he respect himself, and only by accumulating wealth can he support his troops. When the Northern Expedition was defeated, bandits broke out everywhere and the Central Order was not implemented, he became a vassal prince and waited for the changes in the current situation. King Zhao, the appeasement envoy, who can do what he can do? I don't have this opportunity, but if the Nan'an Hou has such an opportunity, he can do better. This is my understanding. If Ming Mansion has the opportunity to help, it is better to help."

"I can't save it." Yang Shiwei nodded. His carriage was parked outside the door. This robe's robe always had a light carriage. Some rulings had a rank of attendants. When traveling, they played more than 20 pairs of high-plate signs, ranging from dozens to hundreds of people. If they were at the local level, they would be the ruling of the capital. Yang Shiwei had always had a light carriage. There were only five or six attendants holding a robe's robe's robe's robe's safety. In addition, it was just one

A horse, a coachman, has no other companion to follow.

Zheng Liqi watched Yang Shiwei leave, and he said to his Yuan Sui: "Go to Changwen Hou Mansion."

...

The Changwen Hou Mansion gathered a large group of people, mostly civil officials wearing blue robes, and several senior officials with red and purple robes.

Chen Dujing's expression was gloomy. Chen Duguang, Chen Duming, Chen Duli, and Chen Duzhong all sat upright, and everyone's faces were not very good-looking.

Li Mingyu, Yang Fu, Chen Zhengzhi and other juniors are lined up and left and right, standing behind the elders of these tribes.

"Is there any new news over Mingda?"

Chen Duguang's beard and eyebrows are all white, but his beard is erected like a hedgehog. This old man is as fierce as fire and has a very violent and impatient personality. However, ordinary people dare not make him angry.

Chen Zhengzhi stepped forward and bowed a little, saying, "Wei Yanke happened to come to Fuzhou Prefecture to report his work. The new news he brought was that Mingda really felt the epidemic, and the illness came very fiercely and violently. At first, he was confused for two days, and the high fever did not subside. On the third day, he subsided, but he still had a fever and his body could not move... The people on the island were panic. My father, uncles, Mingda's status on the island is beyond the expectations of others. He was seriously ill at this moment, which is not good news."

Chen Duzhong nodded and said with certainty: "Mingda's many measures are dazzling, but in the final analysis, it is not to compete with the people for profit and treat people with sincerity. Therefore, whether it is the soldiers, generals, civil servants, officials, ordinary people, or even merchants and salt workers, they all regard Mingda as the main one. I can be quite sure of this. If Mingda is really sick, the situation on the island will be really not optimistic."

The strong enemy was approaching, and Chen Duzhong actually didn't want to leave. However, after Xu Zi was seriously ill, the Changwen Hou Mansion sent several small boats to pick him up, and said that there were important matters to discuss. In fact, he wanted to know what the situation was on the island. Chen Duzhong had no choice but to get on the boat and leave.

To be honest, Chen Duzhong felt quite regretful at the time, but now he feels quite relieved.

Of course, reputation would be bad. After all, Chen Duzhong was nominally the defensive commander of the Dongfan, and the robbers were in the face of the brink, but he, the military chief, fled. But no matter what, when tens of thousands of pirates attacked the Dongfan in more than ten days later, Chen Duzhong no longer had to worry about his life.

This is very gratifying, and there is no need to think about other unnecessary things.

"Chen Dongyang and the others can't lead the troops?" Chen Duguang said: "Mingda has talked with me several times, and they all say that Qin Dongyang has the tendency to be a general. Is it fake?"

"Qin Dongyang is very good. He coordinates the overall situation and leads his troops to fight. They are all chosen as generals." Chen Duzhong said: "But there is an obvious flaw. It may not be Mingda's arrangement, but Qin Dongyang's own decision. He shows fewer appearances in front of the soldiers. Although he has prestige, he is far less than the Nan'an Hou who leads the way every day and lives with the soldiers day and night. All the soldiers of the government know that their family's salary, care for their relatives, their pensions for the fallen soldiers, and everyone else's.

The salary and money were all from the Nan'an Marquis Mansion. Mingda was willing to live with the soldiers day and night, so his prestige was at its peak. Except for himself, Qin Dongyang, Liu Yi, Ge Cunzhong and others, they could not compare with them. As for Jin Baoyi, Wu Weisan, Gao Shilai, Tian Heng, Zhang Huchen and others, they were later, and Li Xingwu, Lin Cunxin, Dong Ruixiang and others, they were left behind. This made the Nan'an Mansion army always control Mingda, but when Mingda was seriously ill, everything would be in chaos."

"Can't you fight in battle?"

"If you can fight, you can fight, and it's hard to say that you win or lose."

All the people present had a serious expression. After a while, Li Mingyu said in a deep voice: "If it is really impossible, it is better to take Mingda out. With his ability, he will still make a comeback."

"I believe this." Chen Duguang said angrily: "But how many years will it take? This time we invested a million guan, and the Nan'an Marquis Mansion also invested a million guan, and moved so many people over. When the pirates go, they will not be killed, run away, the ground will be destroyed, and the houses will be burned out. How can he manage this again?"

Chen Dujing sighed at this time, "No matter what, rescue the person first. I will ask the boss to come and ask Mingda what he meant. He has thousands of elite soldiers under his command and cannot be scattered in the East Vanguard. Troubled times are coming, even if our Chen family is at a loss, it will be much stronger than unarmed at that time."

Chen Duguang's angry face slightly calmed down, he nodded heavily, and agreed.

For a big family like Changwen Hou Mansion, raising thousands of soldiers is not difficult. Although it has to bear the pain of losing millions of coins in vain, spending another 200,000 coins a year to raise soldiers is not an unacceptable expense.

It is enough to be a little frugal in the clan.

Such a great family,

You can see the current situation. Troubled times are coming, with strong enemies outside and bandits inside. The authority of the central government has greatly reduced, and the emperor's virtues are not enough to control it.

These things are only one or two days old, which is not fatal, and they are all extremely fatal.

At this time, it is certainly much better to master a reliable armament than to be completely unprepared.

Chen Duguang said again: "It is a good thing that Mingda will follow us with peace of mind from now on. He is too hard to do anything."

Chen Zhengzhi was a little unhappy and said, "Mingda and Nan'an Town also have an income of hundreds of thousands of yuan a year. It may not necessarily depend on us."

This is true, but the people present understood quite well that if there was no foundation of Dongfan Island, the power and glory of Nan'an Hou Mansion would be reduced by half.

If Xu Zi had Penghu, Qizhou Island, and Nan'an Town, then a river-sea chain was formed, and all ships crossing the sea would have to go through his sphere of influence, and he would be able to collect a lot of money in the name of the group training.

Moreover, money is a small matter. The resources, power, territory, and population that are controlled, and the actual power and reputation brought by it are the important matter.

If Xu Zixian leads his troops back to Nan'an Town, although there is still a place to live, there is no doubt that the Changwen Marquis' Mansion should be the leader from now on. The Nan'an Marquis' Mansion should be assisted. Unless the world is in chaos and the soldiers can jump up, it will be Xu Zixian's next opportunity.

With this in mind, Chen Zhengzhi no longer argued. He also believed that chaos in the world was inevitable and Xu Zixian would have another chance.

"I will go to the Dongfan as soon as possible." Chen Zhengzhi said: "If things are not done, I advise Mingda to take civil and military generals and officials to return to Fuzhou soon."

"Remember Mr. Wu." Chen Dujing sighed: "Don't forget him. If something happened to this great scholar, Mingda's reputation in this life would be completely ruined."

Chen Zhengzhi smiled and said, "I will never forget the child."

Chen Duguang said impatiently: "What's wrong with Wei Yanke? The battle is about to begin. Has he been going to Fuzhou to report his work?"

"It was Yang's mansion who summoned him back." Li Mingyu said: "After asking, Yan Ke left and returned to Penghu."

Chen Duguang's face stagnated and said, "Aren't he afraid?"

"I asked him too." Chen Zhengzhi said in a stern manner: "To be honest, I was also a little scared. He said he was afraid of him. However, as the magistrate of Penghu, he had a position in the territory, a national law, a natural virtue and a human relationship, and an agreement with Mingda. If Yanke is there, Penghu County will not be in chaos, and he still has this assurance. The war is about to begin, and the soldiers of the Nan'an Prefecture Army guard the port, and there are soldiers of the Xiang army and the regiment guard the county town in Penghu. At least the county town must be protected. Yanke said that he has this confidence, unless the pirates put wealthy places such as Fuzhou, Quanzhou and Zhangzhou, and the Dongfan are not allowed to fight, all the main forces are used to fight the poor places in Penghu. If that is the case, Yanke said he would also accept it."

"How great." Chen Dujing was in a bad mood, not only because of all the signs that Dongfan was very dangerous, but Zheng Liqi had just arrived and had already made it clear to his face that there would not be any soldiers and soldiers from Fuzhou to rescue Xu Zixian, which made Chen Dujing extremely disappointed and very frightened. He was also worried that Xu Zixian would not get sick. There was only Xu Zixian, the Marquis' Mansion in Nan'an, which was equivalent to the extinction of the Marquis' Mansion. All previous cooperation was ruined. Chen Dujing felt a little regretful. He should have married Wen Jun earlier. It is very likely that he was pregnant now, so it was completely different.

Even if you can't bear to leave Wen Jun, you shouldn't delay this matter. Even Wen Jun can't marry early, but you should ask Mingdadu to take a concubine, or you don't have to be dependent on etiquette and law, and give birth to a son earlier, so that the overall situation will be decided.

Chen Dujing didn't know if Xu Zixian regretted it or blamed himself when he was sick. He felt ashamed of his old friend. After all, he and Xu Yingbin had a close relationship. If he had a family member who would be adopted by Nan'an Hou, he was not the true bloodline of his old friend, but he had never stopped the incense.

With such a strange mood, Chen Dujing was loyal to Wei Yi and his friends and the court. The people were very impressed with the actions of the people. He slapped his high-high and said, "It's a good thing that has the national law, but there are still natural laws and human feelings. If the officials in the world were like Wei Yanke, I am afraid that my Wei would not have been as strong as today. I was forced to come to the door by a group of pirates. The great governor, prince, and appeasement envoy were frightened and he did not dare to ask about the attack on the Dongfan. If the court was in its prime, I would have taken the initiative to send troops to suppress these pirates."

Chen Duguang snorted coldly: "It's true that Wei Yanke is going to be scolded to death by his father. Humph, wait and see if this kid Mingda will take his subordinates back in time!"
