Xiaoyao Pavilion was destroyed, and everyone could only change the place to discuss matters.

Back in the small hall where I usually discuss matters, Qin Feng's mood had basically calmed down. Looking at the bruises on Jin Jingnan's neck sitting on the side, he apologized: "Jingnan, it's okay, I was a little out of my composure before."

Jin Jingnan quickly stood up and bowed: "Your Majesty is so serious. Your Majesty values ​​love and righteousness so much. This is the blessing of us ministers. Jingnan should be happy in his heart."

Qin Feng nodded and said seriously: "Mr. Guo has gone. The dead are the most important. I don't want to say anything about this matter anymore, but I still want to warn you that I will never agree with such a thing. I hate the goal by selling your own people, no matter what the reason is. From the beginning, you should not agree with this matter. If you firmly oppose it, Guo Jiuling will not even go to Quanzhou, let alone going to Beijing."

Jin Jingnan lowered his head and said, "I remember your Majesty's admonition."

Qin Feng closed his eyes a little tired and said slowly: "Min Ruoying betrayed the Western Army in order to seize the throne, and tens of thousands of soldiers died on the battlefield. The tragic scene at that time is still vivid in my mind. In order to cover up this scandal, the court betrayed the Myriad Camp, and the two thousand soldiers of the Irrigation Camp died with their eyes open. Jin Jingnan, how could I tolerate the same thing happening under my rule?"

Everyone was silent.

"Our soldiers are brave. When they face the enemy's brave battle, they will never complain. However, if they die like this, they will be confused and unintelligent. Even if the loyal people are hard to gather, they will feel dissatisfied. It is difficult to gather people's hearts, but it is easy to lose people's hearts. If such things happen again in the future, you don't have to be your second assistant."

"I understand." Jin Jingnan's knelt down like rain.

Quan Yun stood up, "Your Majesty, things have come to this point. What we do now is to maximize the interests of this matter. Commander Guo subdued Lei Wei and made him successfully treat him as the commander of the Inner Guard. As Commander Guo said, we have made up for the last shortcoming of the annexation of Chu State. When the Inner Guard falls into our hands, we can do things with ease. From then on, Min Ruoying will become a deaf and blind man. But on the matter of Lei Wei, we must add more efforts, and the matter must be confirmed, so that Lei Wei will have no room for repetition."

Tian Kangdao: "I will go to the capital to clean up this matter."

"Go to change someone." Qin Feng said coldly: "We already have a commander who has left us. You are the commander of the Eagle Nest. It is not easy to go to the dangerous place again. Even if Lei Guard becomes ours, going to the capital city will be dangerous after all."

"Yes," Tian Kang replied helplessly: "After I go back, I will immediately choose a safe person to go to the capital."

Qin Feng's eyes swept over the ministers in the room and gradually became fierce: "Our people died in Shangjing City and in Min Ruoying's palace. It is impossible for the Ming Dynasty to see it. Next, we must take revenge and revenge fiercely. Min Ruoying must pay a heavy price for this."

Quan Yun nodded: "This is natural, Your Majesty. First of all, immediately cut off the loan to Chu State. The Chu people's finances are basically empty now. The daily operations basically rely on loans to us, cutting off their source of funds, and immediately put their daily management into chaos. Without our loans, they would not even be able to pay the salaries of officials."

"Cut off the supply of food to Chu." Fang Dazhi's face was a bit ferocious, "The food of Chu is now completely unsupporting, especially in the south of the Yangtze River. A large amount of food is needed to import from our Ming Dynasty every month to stabilize the price of food. As long as the supply of food is cut off, the food prices in Chu will inevitably soar. Without food, the turmoil that has just calmed down in Chu will inevitably surge again."

"Of course, we have to add a fire." Tian Kang continued: "In the process of Bian Wenzhong's quelling rebellion, we have laid a lot of nails. In those places where the bandits have been quelled, we still have a lot of secret tricks. Now it is time for them to work hard. Without food and money, Min Ruoying has no choice but to give it to his people again. Those greedy local officials will not miss such an opportunity to make a fortune in the country. They will definitely exploit them so that the people will suffer man-made disasters after natural disasters. If they are slightly flirted with them, these places will be rekindled."

"All these actions are launched at the same time." Qin Feng sneered: "This winter, we have put Chu State in a great dilemma, so as to start our road to conquer Chu State. When next spring plowing, I will see that there are wars and countless bandits in the territory of Chu State, which makes them unable to plow in spring. It makes him completely fall into internal and external troubles and cannot extricate himself. Next year will be the most important year for us to conquer Chu State."

"What Your Majesty said is that according to the old minister's estimate, Qi State pacifying the powerful forces in the country is the matter of this winter. Even if there is still some good work to do, it will probably be almost done by the first half of next year. Then even if the Qi people completely enter the situation where Cao Tiancheng is alone, after this person has completely grasped the power, there will only be one direction for all the actions, that is, our Ming Dynasty. Qi State has a vast territory and a large population. Once it enters this mode,

It does not take too long to become our biggest concern. Before Qi can completely recover its vitality, we must solve the Chu State. Thus, we will complete the initial plan we have formulated to launch an attack on Qi State from three sides and put the Qi people in the dilemma of multi-faceted combat. Therefore, at the latest in the following year, we must complete all the plans for Chu State, and then spend another year to basically restore the production of Chu State so that it can be self-sufficient. At least it must be able to supply the consumption of a large army."

"This problem is not too big." Qin Feng said: "The six eastern counties can be said to be basically in our hands. What Zeng Lin is working hard to restore the production of the six eastern counties. This time we launch large-scale economic sanctions and retaliation against Chu State, which will not involve the six eastern counties. Now the six eastern counties have started to recover quickly since the war. Moreover, as long as Kunling County resists the attacks of the Qi people this time, Yue Kaishan is also a clerk. With our support, it is not too difficult for Kunling County to restore prosperity. With the support of the six eastern counties, there is no problem in supporting the army along the way."

The overall strategic plan of the Ming Dynasty against Qi was to attack three land forces. One of them would be initiated by six eastern counties in Chu State, and the other would be initiated by Hulao Pass from Hengduan Mountains. This time, Qin State gave up the Hengduan Mountains to make the Ming Dynasty think in the middle. Of course, the main force was still starting from Taoyuan County, which was also the main battlefield for the decisive battle between the two sides.

In addition to these three land armies, the rest is the decisive victory at sea. Originally, the navy of Qi was equal to none, and the Ming navy could basically go straight in. But now the Qi people have brought Ning Zefeng over. It can be imagined that in two or three years, the Qi people will also have a navy. As for the combat effectiveness, it is unknown.

The three routes on land fought hard and attacked, while the navy attacked everywhere in the thousands of miles of sea border of Qi State, gathering them indiscriminately. If necessary, they could even open up a new offensive route, thus turning the three routes into four routes to attack together.

Now the Ming Navy is extremely powerful. Under the command of Wuling, the Wuling War Zone is mobilized. The vanguard led by He Weiping in Hengduan Mountains is ready to enter Hengduan Mountains. The main force led by Chen Zhihua has also moved to Hulao Pass from Qin. The last link, that is, the State of Chu, is finally about to resolve the problem.

Qin Feng leaned back heavily, closed his eyes and remained silent for a while, opened his eyes to look at Jin Jingnan: "How are you talking about Xinning Wu Teng?"

"Your Majesty, he is still hesitating. After all, this is a big event. For us, to the State of Chu, especially to himself." Jin Jingnandao: "In the State of Chu, he is a guard, with real power, and both military, government and civil affairs are in his hands. It is equivalent to a local emperor, who can almost do whatever he wants in Xinning. He has a deep understanding of our Ming Dynasty and knows that once he surrenders to our Ming Dynasty, all of his privileges will be gone, because the Ming Dynasty will never tolerate the existence of local local emperors."

Qin Feng knocked on the desk: "How about the whole Xinning?"

Jin Jingnan smiled: "Since Izumo County has returned to us and Geng Jingming used his business to trap Wu Teng, our interactions with Xinning in all aspects have become quite deep. If Your Majesty needs it, we can take Xinning County as fast as possible. You know, Zou Ming of Pili Camp has been so suffocated over the years. Seeing other battalions making military achievements on various battlefields, they have been staying in Izumo County to watch the fun and are ready to go."

Qin Feng waved his hand: "The significance of capturing Xinning County and Wu Teng's promotion of Guiyi is completely different, and the shock caused to Chu State is also very different. I will go to Tuiyun County and arrange it on the Eagle Nest to let me talk to Wu Teng in person. His privileges are definitely impossible to continue, but we can give him wealth and official positions that are no less than his past. Over the years, he has also made a lot of money. He can't finish his money in more than ten lives. If he is not greedy, it will be a big deal."

"Your Majesty wants to go there in person," Quan Yun said in shock.

"I'll go, give him a reassurance and let him understand our determination. If you have to toast and not eat the punishment, hehe, then you won't blame me." Qin Feng said with a smile.

"That's good." Quan Yun thought for a while and nodded in agreement. Wu Teng was the garrison of a county, and the emperor came forward personally was more persuasive and sincere. As long as Wu Teng agreed to return, the blow to Chu State would be like a bolt from the blue. Min Ruoying's distrust of the county magistrates in each border area would reach a new level. This would also be beneficial to the Ming Dynasty's subsequent plot for Anyang.

"Jingnan, go to Anyang and talk to Zhu Yi. He is not in a hurry, but put a few wedges in first," Qin Feng ordered.
