~~~~~~

Li Yuanqing knew very well that at this time, it was simply impossible to decide the priority of Dongjiang.

Even if Li Yuanqing transfers Mao Chenglu and other generals who are close to him and Li Yuanqing's line away from Pidao, there will definitely be new troubles on Chen Jisheng's side.

Vice versa is also the same.

Because the human heart's desires are endless, it would be better to look to Shu if you want to go to Long.

In contrast, after weighing the pros and cons, Li Yuanqing is more willing to maintain the current situation.

At least, in this state, Li Yuanqing can still have strong control.

At this time, everyone's eyes were firmly focused on Li Yuanqing, paying close attention to even the smallest details of Li Yuanqing.

Because, next, every word Li Yuanqing says will involve their vital interests.

Of course, Li Yuanqing understands the mentality of the brothers below. After all, he, Li Yuanqing, started from the bottom of the pile, step by step, and got to where he is today.

For a moment, Li Yuanqing looked at Mao Chenglu and then at Chen Jisheng.

Both of them seemed to be jealous, they didn't dare to look directly at Li Yuanqing, but they secretly looked at Li Yuanqing eagerly.

Everything is under control.

Li Yuanqing smiled faintly and said calmly: "Dongjiang is the Dongjiang of all of us, but it is also the Dongjiang of the imperial court. At this time, although Vice General Chen and General Mao have not yet formally surrendered, the Dongjiang tribes are

But it must be done in accordance with the law. Here, I, Li Yuanqing, reiterate it again. Vice General Chen is the legal candidate for the new commander-in-chief of Dongjiang Town. General Mao is also the legal candidate for the Dongjiang Left Association! From then on, Pi Dao, Dongjiang military affairs, only this

The two will decide, with Vice General Chen as the leader and General Mao Shen as the assistant."

The generals immediately started talking in low voices.

Chen Jisheng and Mao Chenglu also had different expressions.

Li Yuanqing smiled again and said: "Of course, it is inevitable for brothers to have differences on military and government affairs. But I have said before that we are all brothers. Is there anything that we cannot sit down and discuss? Here, I

Li Yuanqing can guarantee that Dongjiang’s routine from now on will be exactly the same as Mao Shuai’s rules back then. Those who have made merit must be rewarded, and those who have made mistakes must be punished! Whoever dares to break this rule! No matter who he is, it’s not just me.

Li Yuanqing’s enemy is also the enemy of all Dongjiang brothers! Do you understand?”

The hall suddenly exploded.

But for a moment, they all said in unison: "Go back to Li Shuai, I understand."

"Louder, I didn't hear you!"

"I understand!"

All the generals raised their voices and shouted loudly.

Li Yuanqing smiled faintly: "Very good! Even if the court cannot give an explanation to the brothers for everything in the future, I, Li Yuanqing~, will definitely give an explanation to the brothers!"

"Li Shuai is mighty!"

All the generals in the hall immediately fell to their knees.

Even Chen Jisheng and Mao Chenglu's calves were a little weak.

Li Yuanqing's "each playing fifty big games" completely exceeded their expectations.

Mao Chenglu was a little aggrieved, but Chen Jisheng was flattered.

But after a moment, when they came to their senses, they also discovered that Li Yuanqing's method was also the most suitable method at this time.

Otherwise, whether the east wind prevails over the west wind or the west wind overpowers the east wind, there will inevitably be conflict and bloodshed.

This is not something everyone wants to see.

…………

Li Yuanqing made the final decision and leveled the bowl of water. The originally solemn atmosphere of the entire banquet suddenly became much more relaxed.

Li Yuanqing also took Chen Jisheng and Mao Chenglu and left the banquet at the right time. There were some details that they had to discuss in detail alone.

When they came to the inner hall, Li Yuanqing filled the teacups for Chen Jisheng and Mao Chenglu with his own hands, and said with a smile: "Brother, Chenglu, don't blame me for being cruel. Without rules, we can't be like Fangyuan. Now, if these rules are stuck, next year, after

Year, ten, twenty years, we are still brothers!"

Li Yuanqing's words have reached this point, how can Chen Jisheng and Mao Chenglu not understand? They all nodded respectfully in agreement.

Li Yuanqing handed them cigars respectively, lit them for them, and said with a smile: "Brother, Chenglu, things are not as bad as you think. In the coming year, Dongjiang will not make much progress, just maintain the status quo. As long as our line changes

Get up and no one will suffer."

Whether it was Mao Chenglu or Chen Jisheng, their entanglement with Li Yuanqing was no longer a one-day affair, and of course they understood the deep meaning of Li Yuanqing's words.

As long as the Dongjiang River remains consistent with Changsheng Island and has the support of maritime trade routes, how can everyone benefit?

As for the imperial court, as long as they follow Li Yuanqing closely, are they worried about not having any achievements?

After a moment, Chen Jisheng expressed his position: "Yuan Qing, don't worry. I am the eldest brother among the brothers in Dongjiang, and I will take the lead and set an example."

Next to him, Mao Chenglu also hurriedly said: "Yuan Qing, brothers from Zuo Xie, will definitely take the lead in observing the rules."

Li Yuanqing laughed loudly: "Brother, Chenglu, that's right. If we work together, we will both benefit, and if we fight, we will lose. Especially at this time, it is definitely not the time for us to fight among ourselves."

After speaking, Li Yuanqing let out a long sigh.

Chen Jisheng and Mao Chenglu are not stupid people, so how can they not understand the deep meaning of Li Yuanqing's words?

Mao Chenglu hurriedly said: "Yuanqing, you, your trip to the capital..."

Chen Jisheng was also extremely nervous.

With Li Yuanqing's support, even if he doesn't look good sometimes, his roots are solid. With Li Yuanqing here, who dares to touch him?

But~, if something happens to Li Yuanqing, this matter will be...

In the final analysis, even if he and Mao Chenglu have differences, in the final analysis, they are both Li Yuanqing's people...

Li Yuanqing just understood the concern between the two people, but smiled faintly: "It's a blessing, not a curse, but you can't avoid it. The emperor and I have known each other for nearly ten years. It's not a bad thing to have a good chat this time. Brother, I promise.

Lu, on this side of the Dongjiang River, Yuan Qing is here to take care of you."

…………

Although there were a few twists and turns in the banquet, overall it was a great time for both the guests and the host.

Li Yuanqing did not expect how long the verbal alliance between Chen Jisheng and Mao Chenglu would last, but~, as long as it lasted past his visit to Beijing, it would be enough.

At least, don't let Li Yuanqing be taken advantage of by the Tatars when he is beyond reach.

It took ten years and a lifetime of hard work for Mao Wenlong to save this small fortune. If it was left to the consumption of internal friction, it would be really worthless. Mao Wenlong is afraid that he will not be able to rest in peace until he dies.

After the luncheon, Li Yuanqing had brief interviews with dozens of guerrilla-level officers from various Dongjiang factions one by one, giving instructions to ensure that the overall situation was stable on the planned track.

After all, although there are many factions in Dongjiang, there are many hills, and there are many thorns, but~, in this current situation, everyone still has a family and a career, and no one dares to break this rule easily unless it is absolutely necessary.

.

The reason why Dongjiang fell apart so quickly in history is that many of the aftermaths after Mao Wenlong's death were not explained clearly.

Furthermore, there are more men than women in Dongjiang.

Why can you hold your wife and children in your arms when you go home? I don't contribute any less than you, but you have to rely on the fifth girl, and the cold night is long?

But at this time, with Li Yuanqing's help in previous years, Mao Wenlong also adopted Li Yuanqing's strategy and guaranteed a military marriage first.

As a result, the entire framework of Dongjiang is naturally much more stable and easier to control than the "bachelor guerrillas" in history.

By the time all this work was done, it was already dark.

After a simple dinner, Li Yuanqing, accompanied by Chen Jisheng, Mao Chenglu, Xu Fuzuo and Liu Guangzuo, went to the back house of the official hall to visit Mao Wenlong's widow Shen.

The Shen family had already received the news and did not show too much surprise when faced with the arrival of Li Yuanqing and his party.

She was dressed in simple and elegant ethereal white clothes, with a small white flower tied on her head. Although she did not apply any powder, she looked more delicate and refined, like a fairy who did not eat the fireworks of the world.

Mrs. Shen first led Mao Wenlong's little daughter to greet Li Yuanqing and the others one by one, then sent her daughter back to the inner room, where she personally came to make tea for Li Yuanqing and the others. Her movements were light and ethereal, and there was no trace of human fireworks.

.

But it also made the atmosphere in the room feel cold and awkward.

After a moment, Chen Jisheng was the first to react, and he hurriedly raised his hands respectfully and said: "Madam, the imperial court has...an imperial edict has been issued. Later, Yuanqing, Yuanqing will escort you to Beijing to be received by the emperor."

Although Shen entered Mao Wenlong's house as a concubine, she had the support of her father Shen Shikui after all. At this time, although her name was not completely cleared, she was already enjoying the rights of the main wife.

Even when Emperor Chongzhen invited her to Beijing, he regarded her as Mao Wenlong's official wife.

If nothing unexpected happens, she will definitely get her imperial decree, and perhaps it will be quite high.

Shen Shiran bowed to Chen Jisheng, then bowed deeply to Li Yuanqing, and said softly: "Thank you, Vice General Chen. Thank you, Li Junmen. Since the emperor has an imperial edict, I should obey it. I just don't know when I will leave for the capital."

?”

Shen was a little weak, biting her slightly white red lips, but looked at Li Yuanqing with unusually strong eyes.

Li Yuanqing felt a little uncomfortable when she saw him.

Back then, when she was still a young girl, Li Yuanqing had contact with her, and even...

But after a moment, Li Yuanqing came to his senses and hurriedly bowed his hands respectfully: "Madam, this trip is a bit urgent. We must leave before noon tomorrow at the latest. Also, the Marshal's family must accompany us."
