Chapter 268: Willing and unwilling (repair)
The King of Qi closed his eyes and opened them again, with sadness, anger, unwillingness, and regret in his eyes. He looked at Xu Zixian and said slowly: "I have a million yuan in family funds, but I can't give it to you. The old subordinates are dismissed and placed, which requires a lot of money. The daily operation, expenses, and the expenses of the princess and the sons are all within my considerations. If I have the right to make money and have tens of millions of family funds in my hands, then the rest can give you the money except for the necessary money..."
Xu Zixian said ashamedly: "What kind of virtue is my nephew? I asked Uncle Wang to say such words."
"Qizhou can be abandoned, but Dongfan cannot be abandoned." King Qi said: "My life is still there, and King Zhao will be a little cautious in his actions. Lin Douyao and others dare to resist him. Qizhou is handed over to him. This is on the Fuzhou side, you can't defend it."
"But..." Xu Zixian looked a little hesitant. Qizhou was a large island that stretched across the river and was close to the sea. Qizhou Port was a natural good port. After controlling this port, Xu Zixian was equivalent to shaking Fuzhou's throat.
"I know," said King Qi: "Dongfan, Qizhou, and Nan'an, is equivalent to a chain, covering your foundation. But Qizhou is in your hands, and King Zhao can't sleep or eat. If it weren't for this, he wouldn't take any risk to attack me."
King Qi took a breath with difficulty and continued: "If you don't take a step back, King Zhao's choices and ways of doing things will be more radical. In the short term, you will not be able to fight against it head-on."
Xu Zixian nodded slightly, this is not the capital.
The imperial guards in the Beijing camp are not easy to move, so the local garrisons are different.
The imperial guards controlled by King Zhao can be easily mobilized. With the Nan'an regiment's current strength, he will fight head-on with the imperial guards that are twice as powerful as his own. Xu Zixian dared not say that he has certain confidence.
In addition, King Zhao was the emperor's father after all, and the deputy governor of the Fujian Road Grand Governor's Office. His identity, power and duties were far above Xu Zixian. There was a war and dispute between the two sides. Outsiders would only think that Xu Zixian was treasoning, rather than King Zhao's behavior was unruly.
With preconceived ideas, even if Xu Zixian has a good reputation now, it is still almost impossible to defeat King Zhao and win at this moment.
"It can only be done." Xu Zixian nodded and said, "Since I can't get it, then give up... I originally wanted to put the training place of the water camp in Qizhou Port. Since Uncle Wang said that, I will move to the Dongfan."
"Actually, besides the Dongfan, there are places, and King Zhao and others don't care. You can get it in your hands, and it will help you more in terms of manpower and materials. Taking advantage of this concession, I will invite Lin Douyao, Zheng Liqi, Xiao Zan, Yang Shiwei and others to get Penghu for you..."
"Penghu?" Xu Zixian's eyes lit up and said, "If Qizhou port is important, Penghu is indeed much stronger than Qizhou port."
Although Qizhou Port is important, it is located at the mouth of the Minjiang River and is too close to the inland.
Penghu is different. It is between the Dongfan and the mainland. It is a throat and key for the Dongfan. With Penghu, it is difficult for ships outside to enter the sea surface of the Dongfan. When entering and attacking the states of Zhang, Quan, and Fu, and crossing the sea, Penghu is also of great help to the merchant ships in southern Fujian and Zhejiang. When a large number of merchant ships went to Penghu to replenish their water during the coastal period to Luzon or Japan, they all went to Penghu to replenish their water.
After years of development, Penghu has a population of tens of thousands, distributed on dozens of islands. Penghu has a garrison of the magistrate, county magistrate, and county magistrate. The most important thing is the navy power of Penghu, which is the most important garrison force.
"I want to ask you to be the Observer of the Fujian Road Navy in Penghu. You report that Qishan may be in trouble and need to be more vigilant. I will say that the Fujian Road Navy is old and weak, and needs to work hard to preside over military and political training. You are very suitable. Take into account the observation of the Dongfan, so that the thousands of soldiers in Chen Duzhong can be captured. Dongfan and Penghu are your real foundation..."
When King Qi said this, he was quite tired. He actually didn't waste much energy when speaking. However, he was poisoned very deeply. Although he had detoxified the poison, his physical strength and energy were too exhausted and could no longer be sustained.
"In terms of the imperial guards, you can't get in the way now, and your prestige is not enough to control the imperial guards." The King of Qi sighed, and seemed to have been aging for ten years in an instant. He looked at Xu Zixian and said, "I may not live for too long, and I can do not have many things for you. I have children and daughters, and I have no regrets in my life. My family is a hereditary prince family, and you don't need your care. Mingda, what I worry about is the current situation.
, It seems that the Great Wei Dynasty has not had a big obstacle, but I understand in my heart that if you are not careful, you will be a situation that will never be restored. You are a good child in the royal family, and you have no shortage of abilities, skills and scheming. The only thing I worry about is that your past with King Zhao will affect state affairs. You have to promise me one thing, no matter what, don’t harm the public. When you have the opportunity to serve the Great Wei Dynasty, you must abandon your personal grievances and put state affairs first. Can you promise me?"
The King of Qi stared at Xu Zixian with his eyes, with some expectations, some doubts, and more eagerness.
King Qi firmly believed that he would not misjudgment. No matter how Xu Zi performed, his talent was a kind foundation...
"Uncle Wang, I promise you." Xu Zixian took a deep breath and forced himself to suppress his emotions. Even so, his eyes were red.
"No need to do this..." King Qi smiled comfortably and said, "All life is a hundred years old, and there is nothing but a long time to die. I am over 60 years old, and my life is also a life of wealth and prosperity. I have created a foundation for my descendants. Why do I regret it if I die? The most proud thing is to cultivate talents like Mingda for the royal family and the Great Wei. You are in the age of Yingrui and can protect the country and the people for at least forty years. I will raise my ancestors and everyone around me, with no regrets..."
"Uncle Wang, please rest." Xu Zi stood up first and said, "I will stay in the city these days and can come to listen to Uncle Wang's teachings at any time."
The King of Qi smiled and said, "You might as well leave, otherwise Fuzhou would make you feel uneasy."
Xu Zixian said: "What if they don't stop? Now is a good opportunity. I have to give Lord Lin a chance to choose."
"What are your plans?" King Qi's eyes sharpened and said, "Transfer the first battalion to train into the city? Fight in the city, kill blood flowing into a river?"
Xu Zi said nothing, but he could not deny it.
No matter what, the other party failed to kill poison. Judging from the attitude of surrounding yourself and confronting you, you may not want to eliminate yourself. All of them are done.
If the King of Qi can be killed again, although it is like a coup, the emperor is the son of King Zhao. Ordinary people should be punished by criminal law. Is it a big deal to kill someone?
Didn’t Xu Zixian kill the officials and political affairs? It’s different that people are fine, and then they patted their butts and went back to Fuzhou?
If King Zhao takes advantage of the situation to pursue Fuzhou, take advantage of the chaos to control the King of Qi, kill the important imperial guards and officers of the Fang army who obeyed the King of Qi, and then threaten Lin Douyao to approve the matter, Xu Zixian wants to take a step back like King of Qi, save the Dongfan, succeed Penghu, and stay in Nan'an?
Isn't this a fool?
Political affairs are a zero-sum game in the Great Wei Dynasty. Only one side loses and the other side wins. There is no common winner, no compromise, and no reconciliation. As long as you take action, you must live to the death. Because since the pre-Qin period, China is actually not a feudal system, and there is no mutual involvement between the large and small nobles. It is a typical centralized system, and the centralized power is becoming increasingly powerful.
Under this system, only winners take all, no win-win situation, and no peace after giving in.
As long as King Zhao really succeeds, he will of course take all of it and will never let Xu Zixian go.
"I've thought about this." King Qi said: "Don't worry, go out of the city tomorrow morning, and wait for news in Qizhou first. However, you can increase your alert level in Qizhou and Nan'an, so that those who are interested can see that you are not easy to grasp... That's it!"
As the King of Qi spoke, his expression became very serious, and there was no room for Xu Zi to refute first.
"Okay." Xu Zi stood up first and said goodbye, holding his fists and said, "Uncle Wang is resting."
...
"You all have to take good care of it, don't be careless." After going out, he called several doctors over, and Xu Zixian said with a serious expression: "Maybe you only treat one prince, but think about it carefully, what would happen if there was no King Qi on Fujian?"
Several doctors immediately looked stern and clasped their fists and said yes.
Xu Zixian felt a little relieved. Before that, these doctors were working to prove their medical skills or generous medical treatment. From this moment on, they were working toward something noble. The two had different realms and there might be subtle differences.
It's just psychological comfort...
Xu Zixian could only hope that King Qi would wake up earlier and persist for half a year, or even a year, a year and a half?
Of course, this is also a delusion. People with such deep poisoning can wake up, be initially awake, and speak calmly, which is quite good. Since the toxicity penetrates into the internal organs, many complications will inevitably occur afterwards, and it will become more and more serious. It does not take too long. At most two or three months, King Qi will be terminally ill until it cannot be rescued.
But this time is enough. According to the arrangement of King Qi, Xu Zi first tried his best to hold Dongfan and Penghu in his hands and retain the basic base of Nan'an in Fuzhou... Nan'an is the entrusted household of Nan'an Hou. Here, Xu Zi first planned to ask for hundreds of quotas for official households, cooperate with the original official households, group training, ports, and docks to keep these supporting facilities and personnel in Nan'an. If a nail outside the city of the capital can make King Zhao unable to sleep or eat.
Qizhou cannot be saved anymore. Now Xu Zi first understands that Qizhou is too important, and he is in charge of Qizhou, the defensive commander, and the Shangzhai commander. These are all ladders leading to higher military and political positions.
The appointment of Xu Zixian is undoubtedly paving the way for him.
Now that the victory is great, Xu Zixian has strength and prestige. Ten years is enough, right? King Zhao is over 60 years later, and his civil servant is 70 years old, but his military position is not as old as that. If King Qi is still there, he will be able to contact a force and in the name of old age, he proposes that King Zhao give way to Xu Zixian, who has just passed the thirty years old.
At that time, Xu Zixian would definitely make more contributions and sort out all the wing troops on Fujian Road, prestige and military power, all of which were of top quality. Due to the large number of official households, he had a lot of resources and financial resources, and he should not be underestimated. At that time, he would be appointed as the Grand Commander of the Fujian Road Grand Commander's Office, and be in charge of the entire wing troops. He could be assigned to command the imperial guards during wartime. At this point, the King of Qi would be able to let go with peace of mind!
