After dark, Lin Douyao came to visit the pacification envoy, and the two sides had many details to continue to discuss.

At the second update, Lin Douyao came out of the Qi Palace and his face was relaxed and happy.

After returning to the yamen of the tutor, Lin Douyao's confidant aides surrounded him and someone asked, "Have you handed over all the things?"

"The talk is almost done." Lin Douyao said with a relaxed expression: "Your Highness of the King of Qi doesn't know how long he can last, of course he has no reservations. He summoned more than 100-fang army generals and has all become his official positions in the mansion."

"This is great." An aide said ecstaticly: "The Lord has not been able to stretch his arms for several years when he has arrived in Fujian. The King of Qi and King Zhao have control over military power. Now the imperial guards are divided into two parts, and the Lord of the Xiang Army has the advantage. From now on, he can stretch his strength."

"If King Zhao is new, if I am also enterprising, I may have a conflict directly." Lin Douyao shook his head and said, "We must take the overall situation into consideration."

The staff looked at each other and knew each other.

It is spring now, and the imperial court's plan to make preparations for the Northern Expedition is booming.

The preparations were for 200,000 imperial guards and 100,000 xiang troops to head north, but the imperial guards and xiang troops mobilized along the border must have 200,000 to 300,000.

Supervise the transportation of grain and grass in the rear, protect the grain and roads in the rear, and strengthen border defense to prevent accidents. We must also strengthen prevention against strong enemies in the west and north. This time, we mobilize an army of hundreds of thousands and a million people. The spending money is really flowing. The money from the national treasury has been used. Now we are mobilized by the emperor's sealed trough. Fortunately, the emperor has ambition to fight the Northern Expedition, and the emperor does not object to the Northern Expedition...

Some people are already calculating the military expenditure of this Northern Expedition, and the general view is that it starts with a total of 6 million...

Of course, this is a nonsense. The mobilization scale of hundreds of thousands or even millions of people is enough. What is the purpose of 6 million guan? According to Lin Douyao's private calculation, the military expenditure starts at least 20 million guan, and it is very likely to cost more than 60 million guan.

The emperor's treasury of the treasury was the private wealth of the emperors of all dynasties. The number was at most 20 to 30 million. I am afraid that the war would be halfway, and the treasury was washed away. The treasury was empty after being washed away. The court below didn't know how to jump, so it rushed to plunder from the people...

Fujian is also the top priority. Lin Douyao is already preparing. When the two governments want to send additional assignments, they have to find a way to deal with the commission.

Now I realize how crazy Liu Zhiyuan’s plan for the Northern Expedition was. How much did the millions of troops go north? How much did the mobilized support and border guards get? How much did the civilians get? How much did they spend?

Without hundreds of millions of stakes and two million permanent imperial guards and one million wing troops, how dare you say that a million army will fight the Northern Expedition?

Now that the Emperor Chongde is hung up and beaten, the Emperor of Wei cannot afford hundreds of millions of yuan, let alone the massive amount of food, armor, and military battles. Liu Zhiyuan's absurdity is that he cannot even talk about military affairs on paper, which is completely crazy.

Everyone knew that the overall situation of the Northern Expedition is now the most important thing, and the money, food, soldiers and personnel are leaning towards the north. The court’s requirement for various places is to calm down and not to cause problems for the court at such a critical moment.

The King of Zhao's forbearance was certainly the suppression and reputation of the King of Qi, and the layout was at work, but it was not because of the Northern Expedition. Even if the Emperor was his parent-child, King of Zhao could not bear the anger from the Emperor at such a critical moment.

"So," a staff member pondered: "Fuzhou and Fujian Road will be a delicate balance in the next few years. King Qi is really hardworking."

"Not bad..." Lin Douyao sighed and said, "The King of Qi has a profound layout, and what he wants is the stability of Fujian Road..."

"Otherwise." An aide shook his head and said, "Your Highness King Qi is still for someone, but the lord didn't expect it?"

"You mean Nan'an Hou?"

"Yes!" said the aide: "According to the agreement reached by the Lord and King Qi, Xu Zi first withdrew from Qizhou, and reduced the training of Nan'an's regiment with the heart of King An'an. From then on, his water camp left Nan'an and Qizhou, and could only station on the sea off Penghu, searching for and chasing the pirates. It seems that Xu Zi had suffered a loss, but he had just arrived in Qizhou and had no foundation at all. However, in the battle of Qizhou, he was seized, and now it is equivalent to handing over Chen Yutai's private property and ships to him. In addition, he gave the Dongfan and Penghu to this person. If he gave him the foundation for development and growth, he would only avoid it for a while, and it would not really eradicate Xu Zixian's foundation... King Qi had good intentions."

"That's true..." Lin Douyao smiled and said, "But it's a good thing for me. With Xu Zi here first, it's always a thorn in King Zhao's heart."

"The King of Qi is also a bit over the Marquis of Nan'an." A staff member smiled and said, "What kind of tricks can Dongfan and Penghu do to manage?"

Lin Douyao was a little tired. Too many things happened this day and night, and things changed too quickly, which made him feel a little overwhelmed. In a vague way, he felt that Xu Zixian might not be trapped in Penghu and Dongfan as his staff said, and was trapped in the mud and powerless. Xu Zixian, whom he knew, was not so easy to be plotted against.

Lin Douyao closed his eyes and said softly: "Don't hurry, wait and see."

...

The thieves in Qizhou were suppressed were a major event, which caused a sensation from all parties. At least they reported their military achievements. The newspapers issued special pages, as well as the reactions of the gentry and people from all over Fuzhou, Zhangzhou and Quanzhou were all full of recognition, gratitude, admiration and other emotions towards Nan'an Hou Xu Zixian.

But this joyful atmosphere was quickly broken. King Qi was poisoned by a traitor. Although he was not killed on the spot, judging from all the clues after the incident, His Highness King Qi was probably not alive.

This is why people called Fujian Road are worried!

Of course, there were pacification envoys, including King Zhao, prosecutors, prosecutors, transfer, and steadily, and the local governments, and the imperial guards and the wing army were stationed. There were no bloody conflicts in the various forces in Fuzhou City, and the overall situation was maintained... But no matter what, the King Zhao and many officials, all the people's duties were not as noble as the King of Qi in people's hearts, and it made people feel more stable.

More than twenty days passed in a flash, and Xu Zixian stayed at Qizhou Port with peace of mind. He destroyed a large amount of vegetable fields and burned the houses. All the supplies were transported back and forth by the water camp ships of Fu Yi Fu Er Fu Third Class.

The other warships were still damaged and repaired. Qishan thieves were plundering along the coast and on both sides of the Minjiang River. Their maintenance of the warships was limited to being able to sail near the sea and Minjiang River. Xu Zi had to invite the Lin family to send a large number of craftsmen to repair them. After spending more than ten days to ensure that the warships did not sink, he summoned sailors from the water camp to board the ship, raised all the captured eleven pirate ships, and moored to the temporary dock in the Dongfan, and began to build the shipyard to prepare for further repairs.

At the same time, due to abundant funds, a large number of equipment, including agricultural and industrial equipment, as well as marine equipment, including a large number of wood, iron nails, canvas, and ropes, Nan'an Hou Mansion is purchased in large quantities, and as long as you purchase enough, you will be shipped off immediately.

Xu Zixian himself returned to Qizhou City after the port was destroyed.

"You can really give up on Shangzhai."

In the prefecture, Xu Zixian, who was the co-magistrate of Qizhou and the defensive commander of Shangzhai, sat opposite the governor of the prefect Lu Wenxian. Lu Wenxian was a little confused, but Xu Zixian's expression was very confident.

"You are the commander of the village who can abandon you, so what else should I say?" Lu Wenxian smiled bitterly and said, "Do you want to say hello to the comforting commander?"

"Just file a record later." Xu Zixian said: "They will not give up on Qizhou Port. They will probably re-establish military camps at the port. That is not Shangzhai, but Qizhou Port Village. Moreover, there is no need to keep so many troops in Xiazhai and Zhongzhai, and they will move several battalions to the port."

"Fireworks are everywhere in the port." Lu Wenxian said: "Mingda have been busy these days?"

"I guess I will be transferred soon." Xu Zixian said: "With the efficiency of the Fuzhou officials, the port can be used for at least half a year, leaving those camps and houses to give the robbers a space to slowly grow into a foothold? Without my Nan'an group training, I would have to work hard to suppress the robbers again?"

Although it was a joke, it was a reason to stand firm. Lu Wenxian nodded and stopped bothering about this matter.

"We have just worked together for less than two months." Lu Wenxian sighed: "Although the age difference is quite different, it is a pity that he has the same temper as Mingda."

"Why should Lord Lu be so sad about spring and autumn?" Xu Zixian smiled and said, "Chen Yutai was awarded the title of the head. This is a great military merit. As the magistrate of the military prefecture, it is inevitable that the rank of the great master will be improved. Do you still want to stay in Qizhou?"

"This is the court's kindness, how can the subordinates make random guesses?"

Lu Wenxian became so embarrassed that it was really weird for the bearded official to do this.

Xu Zixian sighed and said, "Mr. Lu invited me to come. I guess it is necessary to say something, so please speak out."

"Okay, the official will just say it." Lu Wenxian said: "According to the feedback of my friends in the Pacification Envoy Department, the Pacification Envoy has such arrangements for me. First, he was appointed as the Tonggong Jianzhou. Second, he was transferred out of Fujian Road and served as the magistrate of Junzhou to Shaozhou. Third, he was appointed as the deputy envoy of Transportation."

Lu Wenxian said with a sincere look: "Please teach me."

Xu Zixian smiled and said, "Why did Lord Lu ask me about such a big deal?"

Lu Wenxian said naturally: "Junhou is already an important town on Fujian Road, how can the subordinates not ask about the Lordhou's meaning?"

Xu Zixian made a slight move, and Lu Wenxian actually expressed his intention to surrender at this time?

When I thought about it, I felt relieved.

Although King Zhao was aggressive and even used despicable means of poisoning, under the conflict of King Qi, the current situation was still King Zhao and Lin Douyao who evenly divided the power.

In addition to King Zhao and Lin Douyao, the biggest powerful figure on Fujian Road is Xu Zixian, the Marquis of Nan'an.

It was not that Xu Zixian had many privately placed in various garrisons, nor were there many disciples and former officials who were officials everywhere, and could respond to one call.

All Xu Zixian's team was limited to the civil and military generals around him.

His strength is nothing more than pure reputation and strong troops. The combat power displayed by the Nan'an regiment training is no less than that of the imperial guards. From the outside world's assessment, Xu Zixian's combat power and his command ability are at least equal to the two imperial guards!

Even if the Xiang army dispatched twenty troops, they were afraid that they would not be the opponents of Nan'an Tuanlian and Xu Zixian.

This evaluation is a bit exaggerated, but it is not too far from the facts.

Lu Wenxian knew even more that Chen Yutai's more than ten ships also fell into Xu Zixian's hands. Under the arrangement of King Qi, Penghu and the navy were afraid that they would fall into Xu Zixian's hands.

In terms of force purely, Xu Zixian is fully qualified to compete with King Zhao. The so-called Xu Zixian accounts for 10% of the situation in the outside world completely underestimates the territory and force that Xu Zixian has mastered.

Among them is the score that the Dongfan forced to pull down. After all, the Dongfan has been desolate for more than 200 years and has not been able to develop and utilize it. Even if Xu Zixian is capable, how many years can he take to develop the Dongfan?

Maybe a lot of money was wasted in the Dongfan for nothing.

If Xu Zixian could stay in Qizhou and control the seaport of Fuzhou, plus strong force and civil servants in Changwen Hou Mansion, Xu Zixian would not occupy 10% of the situation, but would actually dominate the world with Lin Douyao and Zhao King, and three points of Fujian!
