In front of the Qingzhou Prefect's Office, boxes of silver ingots were piled in the open space. Under the sunlight, silver light shining, like a silver mountain.

"Good guy, so much money, I have never seen so much money in my life." Li Shixuan looked at Yinshan and was completely confused.

Li Shiyuan next to him and He Yongqing, the prefect of Qingzhou, could still suppress his inner surging. But both of them also turned red.

Under the current situation, the entire rule of the Ming Dynasty in Qilu had fallen apart, and the northwest fell into the hands of Li Zhe. Fortunately, after Hou Guoan lost Quancheng, he led his men to Tai'an and restrained Guo Zhe's hands and feet. Otherwise, Guo Sheng's army would have entered Qingzhou long ago. And in such a stormy time in Qingzhou, how can he resist the army led by Guo Sheng?

Earlier, He Yongqing and Li Shiyuan had decided to go to Denglai, Wang Fengheng and his family.

Although Denglai was also empty in its troops, whether it was the local soldiers and Zheng army in Denglai, the main force went to Tianjin to serve the king and rescue the emperor. But Dengzhou City was much more solid than Qingzhou City.

Unexpectedly, the sudden change in a short period of time, Guo Sheng's offensive against Qingzhou changed from ready to passing by, and Qingzhou received a huge amount of money, grain and military support.

One hundred thousand taels of silver, fifty thousand stones of grain and rice, firearms and weapons. The Qingzhou army suddenly changed from a commoner to a wealthy family in Qilu.

"I heard that Annan Bo made a fortune in Beijing and Tianjin. Now it seems that the reason is like this." This move is too generous. Not to mention the firearms and weapons, it is something that is hard to buy even if you have money.

He Yongqing was overjoyed.

Qingzhou, as a major prefecture connecting Denglai and eastern Shandong, connects Laizhou Bay to the north, to the Yellow Sea to the south, and runs across Qilu from the south. Its northern region is indeed a rare plain and broad land in Qilu, but the central and southern regions are full of mountainous and hilly terrain. In a broad sense, it is entangled with the Yimeng Mountains, and overall it is not wealthy. Especially in recent years, Qingzhou has recovered some vitality in the past two years.

He Yongqing is not that shameless person with no moral integrity. He is still loyal to the Ming Dynasty. If possible, how could he not be willing to do his best for the Ming Dynasty? Qingzhou originally had strong soldiers, but although there were not many, it had a foundation. Li Shiyuan could also be said to be a strong general. He performed very well when he followed Zheng Zhilong to see the world.

But what about Qingzhou's finances? It is a big recruitment of troops, whether it is money and grain consumption or military armor, it is not something that Qingzhou's financial resources can support.

However, the largest king of King Heng in Qingzhou, who is dedicated to learning from King Lu.

The Ming Dynasty was no longer in the north, but there was still half of the country in the south. King Heng and his son were determined to go to Jinling. When they arrived there, even if they could no longer have a fiefdom, at least they were still princes. With the savings at home, they could continue to live their own glory and wealth until the Ming Dynasty was completely destroyed or the Ming Dynasty revived again.

However, no matter which result is, it is better than staying in Qingzhou City and waiting for death.

Guo Sheng's army swept across the land of Qilu, and the whole process was so smooth. The failure of the governor Wang Guobin and Liu Zeqing's release of Ma Nan and fleeing greatly affected the confidence of the officials in Qilu.

The mistake was not that Yanjing suddenly changed a lot. Wu Sangui actually led the Tartars into the pass, causing Li Zicheng to suffer a heavy blow. Guo Sheng's army probably had already reached the city of Qingzhou.

In Qingzhou in history, Guo Sheng only sent one person to lead five hundred soldiers to capture Qingzhou City without bloodshed. Seeing that the general situation was irreversible, He Yongqing left and was discouraged and went straight to become a monk. Li Shiyuan surrendered. The father and son of Heng, who were very strong in Qingzhou, were recruiting soldiers and rewarded the troops when the Qing Dynasty entered the border, and they were obediently waiting for the treatment of the royal palace.

All of that was because the change of the master of the Shenjing, Emperor Chongzhen's family was killed, and the general situation of Li Zicheng's Dashun Dynasty had already been established. Next, he swept the world and cleaned up the rivers and mountains. When Emperor Chongzhen's family was caught in one go, and before a new emperor was established in the Southern Ming Dynasty, it was completely the autumn wind swept away the fallen leaves, and the edict was issued to determine the country.

The performances of King Heng and sons, He Yongqing, Li Shiyuan and others all show that they have no hope for the future of the Ming Dynasty. They only bowed their heads and admitted defeat in their hearts, admitting that they had failed.

But what about now?

Emperor Chongzhen was not dead, the prince was still there, and the Southern Ming Dynasty had already appeared on stage in Jinling. On the day when Emperor Chongzhen entered Jinling, he cried loudly in front of the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum, pointing to the sky and swearing to restore the country of the north and restore the foundation of his ancestors.

In this way, the officials who were looking forward to the Ming Dynasty ignited hope and had new hopes for those like Yongqing.

It was at this time that the news of Li Zicheng's defeat in Shanhaiguan reached Qilu. A person was shocked to find that there was a new chess player in the big chess game in the Central Plains Flower World. The Qing Dynasty made a thrust into the game and kicked Li Zicheng, who was not long ago, out of Yanjing with an extremely tough attitude.

No one with a discerning eye will take Wu Sangui's "leverage his troops to help suppress" seriously. It is easy to ask for a god but difficult to send him to the gods. Can the Tartars' ice and snow outside the pass be compared with the flower world inside the pass?

Similarly, the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty were extremely powerful, and the army was aimed at, just like the current situation in Qilu, who can guarantee that he could defend the city?

This is not two years ago.

Under such circumstances, Li Shiyuan could still stay in Qingzhou City wholeheartedly, and the biggest hope was Zheng Zhilong. He believed that Zheng Zhilong would not forget his original promise, and he believed that Zheng Zhilong would not forget himself.

This is indeed the case.

The money, grain, soldiers and armor sent by Zheng Zhilong was inhumane as soon as he made a move. He was 100,000 taels of silver and guns, guns, armor and clothes, blinded Li Shiyuan's eyes.

Taking a deep breath, Li Shiyuan pulled out his waist knife and slashed hard on a piece of wood-like chest covered with armor. The blade was directly blocked on the iron sheet, and even the willow leaves were not cut through. There was a layer of leather underneath, and there was a layer of clothing under the leather.

"It's all good things, it's all good things." After putting away the knife and returning the sheath, he said to He Yongqing beside him: "As far as I say, Annanbo would do more. Instead of letting the silver lie in the warehouses of high-ranking officials and nobles, it's better to fall into Annanbo's hands. At least Annanbo is really committed to the country, and no matter how much money he gets, it's for war."

Although Li Shiyuan felt that Zheng Zhilong would not forget himself, he never thought that Zheng Zhilong could send so much money, grain and military funds in one go.

From this we can see how fat Zheng Zhilong is now. But he also believes that Zheng Zhilong was not able to take advantage of this kind of action without taking advantage of it. All this is for money. What was the reward given by the court after the war in Zhang Qiuzhen? Li Shiyuan still remembers it clearly. Is it true that Zi really didn't know that he would lose his morale and lose his fighting spirit like this? But what if he had no money in his pocket?

He also wants to thank those fat officials and nobles.

He Yongqing thought further. Those noble people were slaughtered by Zheng Zhilong as a pig, which was not a place to attract the hatred of the civil and military officials in the court. How can Annanbo have a foothold in the court in the future?

If this continues, it will be unfavorable to Annanbo and the country.

But it is too late to say this now. According to the person who escorted money, grain and material, the gold and silver transported from Tianjin to Zhifu Island by the fleet were piled up on the docks, which was the real gold and silver mountain.

The tree has been completed, and Zheng Zhilong has offended the man to death.

But He Yongqing could not refuse to admit that if so much money and food were scattered by Annanbo in Qilu, no matter when the Tartars went south, it would not be smooth.

Thinking about Juehua Island outside the pass, Tianjin Gate beside the capital, Denglai in Qilu, and even their wave - Annanbo asked them to recruit as much as possible, and while defending Qingzhou, he also had to set up camps in the Yimeng Mountains. Waiting for the arrival of the Tatar army, the Qingzhou City could no longer be defended, so he could retreat to the Yimeng Mountains.

At that time, as long as they can still stick to Yimeng Mountain under the banner, the Tartars will not be able to fall well in Qilu.

He Yongqing thought of some of the situations introduced in Zheng Zhilong's letter and some of his speculations. If they were all true, then Qilu would be difficult to maintain peace in the future. Besides, their team was swaying in the Yitai Mountains, which would definitely be able to drag down the hindrance of the Tartars!

How many people did the Tartars gather together? When their Eight Banners soldiers fought, the Tartars would be over. It’s not sure, it’s only three to five years.

"I will be..."

He Yongqing couldn't help but unfolded his beautiful imagination. Because the prospects drawn by Zheng Zhilong were really beautiful.

The Tartars have strong soldiers but few people, which is their biggest and most obvious flaw.

Think about it, if there is a huge northern land, if there is a lot of war, it will be a piece of cake to lose 8,000 yuan a year? If you fight two more tough battles, the Tartars will be playing ball by themselves in a few years.

"Come, post all these notices and drawings. I want the people of Qingzhou to see and hear them all."

Spending money and grain to recruit soldiers is one, and the gentry all saw that the cruelty of the Tartars was second, so that everyone could see what money was, the rat tail was third.

He Yongqing next planned to gather hunters from the southern counties to study the vast mountains in central and southern Qingzhou. He is now as energetic as Li Shiyuan.

...

At the same time, outside the East City Gate of Qingzhou, King Heng Zhu Youqi and his son Zhu Ciqi stood by the roadside, looking at Qingzhou City behind them, with reluctance on their faces. The Hengfan who left Qingzhou was the landless vassal king and the rootless Ping. Even if the emperor of Jinling City took advantage of this excuse to seize the throne of his family.

However, although Zhu Youqian knew a lot about this, how could he dare to stay in Qingzhou now?

"Father,..." Zhu Ciqi looked depressed.

Before, King Heng was about to leave, but was stopped by He Yongqing and Li Shiyuan, but now the shadows of the two met, but they disappeared after just a meeting. This contrast is also...

Zhu Ciqi is Prince Heng, so he naturally feels full of anger.

"Let's go. It's time and time. After going to Jinling, you can sleep peacefully. Stay here, you don't know where your head is left."
