It was already the fourth day, but the candlelight in Guo Dan's courtyard was still lit. I saw Guo Dan sitting at the desk, flipping through some accounts.

Whenever he encounters difficulties, he always wants to check data and information. He is definitely a data control because people can lie, but data will not lie. All his plans are based on data.

Even if he failed, he was convinced.

"Husband."

Suddenly, Kou Weisha walked out of the inner room.

"Madam?" Guo Dan hurriedly got up, walked over and gently supported Kou Weisha, "Did I disturb my wife and rest? Maybe it's time for us to change to a larger yard?"

Kou Weisha smiled and said, "It's not your business. I've been resting at home every day recently. I used to wake up at this time, but you rarely work until now, my husband."

While talking, she sat on the couch with Guo Dan. She looked at Guo Dan worriedly, "Husband, is this difficult?"

“It’s a little difficult.”

Guo Dan sighed: "I just looked at the accounts. It just so happened that all the firearms had been delivered to Huguang Shenji Camp. We can pay 200,000 taels first, one after another. Within two months, I can still raise one million taels. Moreover, Yinuo Insurance also has enough food. I only need some time, and... and the support of the court."

Kou Weisha said: "But you don't want to get the support of the court?"

"Yes."

Guo Dan nodded and said, "I don't believe in the court, nor do I trust me. The difficulty is here. I have talked to the lay Buddhists before. Unfortunately, the north is not as powerful as the south. The influence of the government in Yunnan and Guizhou is extremely limited. They cannot even control the local military power, which gives us an opportunity to take advantage of it.

But the officialdom in the north is deeply rooted, and the court adopts the civil control of military affairs. The government can interfere with the army. In addition, all major forces in the court are involved, and this is complicated. If we bypass the court, even if the local governments in the south of the Yangtze River allow us to send food, our food may not necessarily reach the front line, because everything in the north is under their control, from salt to grain, to coal, iron, tea and horses, our Fengchi Group, in Huguang, Sichuan Gui quickly gained a foothold, but in the north, it is very limited."

Kou Weisha suddenly reached out and held Guo Dan's hand gently, and said with a smile: "But I believe this will not pose a problem for my husband. No matter what decision you make or what price you pay, I will support you."

Guo Dan was stunned and said a little surprised: "I thought my wife would advise me to take a step back."

Kou Weisha said: "Actually, my husband has made many compromises before. If I can take a step back, I don't believe I will persuade you."

Guo Dan stared at Kou Weisha, and after a while, he just said, "Thank you."

Kou Weisha is a very calm woman. At this critical moment, she believes that she must support Guo Dan and cannot pull him back, otherwise, Guo Dan will lose sight of the other side.

indeed.

Guo Dan needs her support. If Guo Dan was just alone, he would not be so distressed. He would definitely be gambled. Otherwise, why should he make this money? Who doesn’t want to make this money? Small money can be clever. However, this kind of money depends not only on means, but also on courage.

But the Kou family is innocent!

Therefore, Kou Weisha's support is very important to Guo Dan.

The next day.

Aunt Xu, who had not been asleep all night, came to the Yashang early. When she saw Guo Dan sitting inside and handling official business, she was moved and surprised.

"Are you surprised?"

Guo Dan asked with a smile.

Aunt Xu nodded and said, "I'm very surprised."

Guo Dan leaned back and said, "I have decided to contract Ningxia, but before that, I have to understand everything about Ningxia, just like purchasing a workshop. I have to check the financial situation of this workshop in advance."

Aunt Xu said: "But this is not acquiring a workshop, there is no time for you to drag it down."

Guo Dan said: "At least they can't fight the capital for the time being."

Aunt Xu shook her head and said, "This time I never agree with you doing this, because things have not reached this point."

"Maybe." Guo Tan smiled and said, "But I don't want to give them a chance to breathe, otherwise there will be endless troubles. In addition, if I can succeed, then I can open a gap in the north and our grassland plan will be more smooth."

Aunt Xu said: "You are trying to get a tiger."

Guo Tan said: "The businessman who dares not seek sex with a tiger is by no means a successful businessman."

......

The Ningxia Rebellion seemed to have given a heart-warming injection to the court when they were dying. This made them both angry and happy.

The anger was because he killed Dang Xin, so they had to pay their lives, otherwise the civil servant would not be able to suppress the military officer.

Of course, they were happy because they could no longer control the situation in the southwest, but the chaos in Ningxia made them suddenly hold the lifeline of the fat man again.

They submitted a report to Wanli, demanding that the troops be terminated immediately, concentrate their forces, and quickly quell the Ningxia Rebellion. If the Hetao is lost, there will be no peace in the Central Plains.

"Whatever I say, what I say, I know they won't give up."

Wanli angrily threw the memorial aside, "What does it have to do to send troops to Ningxia and to stop the southwest? There was no treasury or the elites of the Ming Dynasty there, but they said that I was confused and shouldn't have borrowed so much money to fight the southwest, so that our army was caught in two fronts. This was clearly threatening me, and I would never compromise."

Tian Yi, who had just gone to Beijing to take over the East Factory, immediately said: "Your Majesty, this country is yours. How can you use your country to fight against them? I think Your Majesty should unite with the court and quickly pacify Ningxia. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable."

"Why is it me every time...!"

Halfway through his words, Wanli closed his mouth again.

Tian Yi was right, this country is yours, not theirs, who will compromise if you don’t compromise?

But the fat man is really unwilling to give up. If he wants to compromise again this time, he may never have the courage to face the courtiers again.

Dong Pavilion.

Wang Jiaping was so anxious that he was already an ant on the hot pan. "This is a fight. How could His Majesty still act voluntarily? No matter what, he had to send troops to quell the chaos first. If he had to drag it down, it would cause a disaster."

Wang Xijue said: "Why should we also make some concessions? In fact, we don't need to stop the southwest when we send troops to Ningxia."

"That's fine!" Wang Jiaping said: "Senior Shen, if you have any problems, let's solve the foreign enemies first. Now you have to ask Your Majesty to send troops to quell the rebellion."

Shen Shixing nodded and said, "Okay, I will report to Your Majesty immediately, let Li Chengliang take charge and send the Liaodong army to quell the rebellion."

Wang Xijue and Xu Guo nodded in support.

But as soon as the memorial was uploaded, Wanli had already overwhelmed the opposition.

Li Chengliang retired on a conviction at the time, and he was not held accountable at that time, but he was already open. However, Wang Shixing was driven out of the capital just because he said one sentence. It has not been used yet. Why should I use Li Chengliang? Is it because he is from you, Shen Shixing?

More ministers suggested that Yang Yinglong lead the Bozhou Army to rescue to prove whether Yang Yinglong was loyal to the court. In fact, it doesn’t matter whether he was loyal or not. This can also make them kill each other. Anyway, they are all birds of a feather and are all objects to be dealt with in the future.

These bureaucrats are so quick to turn their minds!

The calculations are very clever.

Li Chengliang is a member of Shen Shixing and a shareholder of the Grand Canyon. If he wants to take charge, Shen Shixing will benefit the most, and at the same time, it will not hit Guo Dan. This is something they cannot accept.

Let Yang Yinglong go, it's a win-win situation.

Because of this, we must stop the Southwest. It was just a different saying that gave Wanli a step.

In addition, they neither like Yang Yinglong nor like to worship each other, so they will kill each other. If Yang Yinglong wins, Bozhou will definitely be safe and sound. He is still the boss of Bozhou, so Guo Dan will not be able to stand there.

Because Yang Yinglong could not let him go, and Huguang Shenji Camp could not be stationed there forever.

It means that Guo Dan is just in vain.

He used Yang Yinglong's hand to weaken Guo Dan, and then dealt with Yang Yinglong.

If Yang Yinglong loses, it will prove that he is a loyal minister and it is even more impossible to touch the Yang family. The Yang family will still take revenge on Guo Dan.

This is a perfect plan...!

Of course, this made Shen Shixing look dirty. I was so cowardly that I was so cowardly. No matter what I said, you all opposed it. At the same time, I also understood in my heart that you guys were still thinking about me in their hearts, so we must never let Yang Yinglong go.

He didn't care about so much, but firmly opposed letting Yang Yinglong go, saying that Bozhou is too far away from Ningxia. When the Bozhou army passed, the daylily was cold, and the southwest battle had already caused a crack between Yang Yinglong and the court, which was irreparable. In addition, this was not fair to the local five departments and seven surnames. Why not destroy Yang Yinglong in one go and eliminate future troubles forever?

Ningxia could completely allow Li Chengliang to lead the Liaodong army, and there was no need to mobilize troops from the southwest.

There was a quarrel in the court again.

Usually, it depends on which side the emperor supports. The problem is that the emperor does not want to support it, and the emperor has his own ideas.

If the emperor doesn't open his mouth, the soldiers will not be able to get out.

This gave He a chance to worship. It seemed that the information was correct. It was a great opportunity to rebel. He conquered the city even more unscrupulously.

The expedition military newspaper was sent to the capital one by one.

The rebels, no, they have not rebelled yet, they are just mutiny, but this is even more terrifying than rebellion. They have seized thirty-seven cities in a row, but in fact they have basically not fought anything. The local officers and soldiers all knew that they were not winning the opponent, and they surrendered when their troops came.

The ministers were arguing and found that something was wrong. We quarreled here for a long time, and the emperor didn't say a word, so there was no point in quarreling.

Gradually, everyone became anxious.

You emperor can't play like this!

No matter who you support sending, you have to say something!

But Wanli didn't even hold a cabinet meeting.

Such a big thing, your emperor is actually silent.

this......!

Seeing that the Hetao area is in danger, if the Hetao area is lost and the Mongols come again, it will be a disaster!

Even Empress Dowager Li couldn't sit still.

"Emperor, I shouldn't have been concerned about this military and national affairs, but... I feel scared in my heart! What if they fight to the capital, what should I do!"

Empress Dowager Li is really a virtuous queen. She is still obedient at this time. I did not interfere in military and national affairs. I just felt scared as a woman.

To make the mother scared, this is the son’s unfilial piety!
