"Thank you for your hard work, let's go down and rest first." After listening to Dong Fuwei's return carefully, Dong Fuwei asked about the specific attitudes of Lin Jianzhang and the other two, he sent Dong Fuwei away.

After Dong Fuwei left, Dong Xiangwei sat in the chair and pondered, thinking about what the next step should be.

Dong Xiangwei is a smart person and looks inconspicuous on weekdays, but he is extremely cautious in both war and doing things, and he also has some skills and means. This is also the main reason why Mazi specifically recommended him as the admiral of Zhili at the time.

But to put it bluntly, it is just an excuse. In a big fight, let alone a small favor, even if the father and son turn against each other, brothers will be killed everywhere. For example, now, the Qing Dynasty has changed drastically, Kangxi is controlled by the Eighth Prince. The Eighth Prince is in charge of the country as the prince. Apart from the fact that he does not have the hat of the emperor on his head, he is no different from the emperor. The reason why he has not officially replaced Kangxi yet is that the Eighth Prince is mainly considering the overall situation.

After all, after losing Beijing, the Qing government's control over various places is different now, and when Beijing is lost, the Qing Dynasty's aura is a little weaker. Although the prefectures and prefectures in various places are still under the name of the Qing court, the central government's constraints on local areas are different from those in the past.

Kangxi's reign was suppressed by Kangxi's name and status. Once Kangxi was respected as the Supreme Emperor and the Eighth Prince ascended the throne, although the Eighth Prince was not bad at all, his influence on the local area was still less than that of the old Emperor Kangxi.

This is also the main reason why the Eighth Prince controls Kangxi but only serves as the governor. This can be seen by any smart person. Once the Eighth Prince has the ability to abandon Kangxi and directly control the overall situation, it is the day when he officially ascends the throne to become emperor.

When the situation in Beijing took a sharp turn for the worse, Dong Xiangwei knew that Beijing could not be defended. Although he was the admiral of Zhili, he actually had not many troops. You should know that not only the Thirteenth Prince and the Fourteenth Prince were there, but the two princes were in front of him, he was a mere admiral.

This is also the main reason why Dong Xiangwei saw that the situation was wrong and led his troops back to Gubeikou. He has been a general in Gubeikou for so many years, and now he still has the position of admiral, so he is more comfortable than going south to listen to the two princes.

Besides, Dong Xiangwei also has his own ideas in the current situation. If he goes south, he will be nothing more than cannon fodder. If he wins the battle, the credit will be the two princes. Once he loses, he, the admiral of Zhili, will be a role that will be blamed.

Gubeikou has an important geographical location and can advance or retreat in Gubeikou. Dong Xiangwei's choice is a good move.

Now he has sent someone to Beijing to contact the Ming army. To be honest, Dong Xiangwei is just finding a way out for himself, and he is also testing the Ming army. Dong Fuwei was driven back with a shameless face. This situation did not unexpectedly go beyond his expectations, but instead made him feel at ease.

"Master, are you looking for me?"

When Li Bojun heard that Dong Xiangwei called him, he immediately came to Dong Xiangwei's study room and walked in and asked.

"Mr. Li is here, come, come, sit down." Dong Xiangwei smiled and greeted Li Bojun. Li Bojun was Dong Xiangwei's confidant and his adviser. Compared to ordinary masters, Li Bojun's status is much higher, and he is usually called a gentleman.

"Xiao Qi is back just now." After Li Bojun sat down, Dong Xiangwei said directly.

"So quickly..." Li Bojun frowned and said, "Just count the time, Xiaoqi has only been in Beijing for at most for a day. It seems that the Ming army has rejected the general's proposal, right?"

"Mr. Li is really a scheming!" Dong Xiangwei nodded and immediately told the news that Dong Fuwei brought back. After hearing this, Li Boyun's expression not only did not change, but instead became much more relaxed.

"Congratulations to the Grandmaster!"

"Haha, this little Qi is back in a mess. What's the joy of not getting done?" Dong Xiangwei asked with a smile on his lips.

Li Bojun smiled and said, "The Grand Marshal knew it very well, so how could he do this? At that time, Xiaoqi sent him to the past just to contact him and see the other party's reaction. The news he brought back now has confirmed the Grand Marshal's original expectation. Isn't this a good thing?"

"Hahaha! Mr. Li, Mr. Li, you are really a bug in my stomach. You can't hide anything from you." Hearing this, Dong Xiangwei burst into laughter.

"As far as Mr. sees, what should be next?"

"I want to ask you, how does the Grand Marshal think of the Qing Dynasty?" Li Bojun asked back.

Dong Xiangwei sighed: "If Beijing is still there, the Qing Dynasty may have the power to turn the world back. Now that Beijing has abandoned it, the court hunts west, the general trend of the world is different from the past. Now half of the Jiangnan wall has already entered the hands of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty has now gained the advantage. Unless Emperor Ming takes the rebellion at this time and is in chaos, he might have used the strength of the Ming Dynasty to slowly attack it, and there will be no Qing Dynasty in the world within three or five years."

"The Grand Marshal said very well." Li Bojun nodded and said, "This is also the reason why the Grand Marshal sent Xiaoqi to Beijing. Since the Grand Marshal had made a decision in his heart, he thought it would be better to make plans early. Moreover, the Grand Marshal offered a price, and the other party responded, so let's talk about it next."

"Talk? But the other party has rejected my coach's request."

"Haha, the requests of the Grand Marshal are just path-finding stones. If you are the Grand Marshal, you may not agree." Li Bojun asked with a smile.

Dong Xiangwei nodded. Although it showed that the army refused his request, he had a clear mind. Moreover, Lin Jianzhang's words actually expressed the opinions of the Ming Dynasty. After all, there were many people who defected to the Qing court in the Ming Dynasty. Whether it was civil officials or military generals, there were many people now at the position of ministers.

Liao Huanzhi won’t say that it was just Zhuang Yan, who was just the deputy general of the Fujian Navy at the time, but now he is the chief of staff of the Ming Dynasty. Dong Xiangwei is a dignified admiral of Zhili. From the current point of view, a first-class military officer of the level like him is the first to surrender to the Ming Dynasty. If the Ming Dynasty can afford the price, it would be a good thing to sell it, but the premise is that the interests must be guaranteed.

"I invited my husband to come today. I have something to ask for important matters. Now I still need my husband to take a trip to Beijing for me. How about it?"

Li Boyun did not hesitate at all. In fact, when Dong Xiangwei sent Dong Fuwei to Beijing to test, he thought of this. Now Dong Xiangwei asked himself to go there just to negotiate terms with the Ming army. But there is no problem with going there. He must ask clearly where Dong Xiangwei's bottom line is. As long as this is the case, he can have a good talk with Beijing and try to negotiate a good price.

Secondly, Li Boyun still has his own plans for this job. The Ming Dynasty has basically been a foregone conclusion. Although he lived a free life with Dong Xiangwei and Dong Xiangwei was pretty good to him, he still relied on others. Li Boyun, who has always been very confident in his talents, can be said to be talented but not appreciated. If he could take this opportunity to take a path, he might be able to be a minister in the future.
