However, this is not the worst result. The worst result is that in just half a month, three of the five towns in Jiangbei have fallen to the Donglin lineage.

In this way, Lu Jiude's own safety became a problem, not to mention supporting King Fu.

In desperation, Lu Jiude had to go north along Huai'an, because in addition to these three towns, there are also two towns, Andongjun and Liu Zeqing. As long as he can win the support of these two towns, he still has at least half a chance.

.

So he ordered people to send King Fu to Liudu first, and he himself went north to find Lin Dong and Liu Zeqing, hoping to get their support.

Lu Jiude also focused on these two people. Although Anton's army was somewhat famous, it was still a rising star, and when it formed an army, it only had a few thousand people.

Compared with the Anton Army, Liu Zeqing's Shandong Army was much stronger. Not only was its number several times that of the Anton Army, it was also a veteran force, so Lu Jiude valued it more.

In this way, Lu Jiude went all the way north to Jinan, and met Liu Zeqing himself in Jinan City.

But what surprised him was that shortly after he entered the city, Mao Pijiang, one of the four gentlemen of Fushe, also entered the city.

Seeing that Lu Jiude and Mao Pijiang found him at the same time, Liu Zeqing was secretly overjoyed.

First, he invited Lu Jiude in. After some pleasantries, he finally asked about Lu Jiude's purpose.

At this time, Lu Jiude was already running around in a hurry, so he did not hesitate to explain his purpose of coming.

He also promised that as long as Liu Zeqing could support Prince Fu to ascend the throne, he would be granted a marquis.

This made Liu Zeqing very happy, and he immediately agreed to Lu Jiude's proposal.

Seeing Liu Zeqing agreeing, Lu Jiude was very happy, so he headed all the way towards An Dongwei. As long as he pulled Lin Dong over, it was not impossible for Prince Fu to ascend the throne.

However, what he didn't expect was that just as he stepped out of General Liu's door, Maoxiang was invited in by Liu Zeqing.

After the same exchange of greetings, Liu Zeqing asked the other party the reason for his visit.

Mao Bijiang was originally one of the four young masters of Fushe, and he was very eloquent. He soon learned from Liu Zeqing the great promise made by Lu Jiude.

After learning that Lu Jiude had promised the other party a marquis, Mao Bijiang directly stated that as long as Liu Zeqing could support King Gui on the throne, he would not only make him a marquis, but also give the four towns in Jiangbei, which had made great contributions, the right to independently collect taxes.

Liu Zeqing's eyes widened when he heard this condition. In this case, Liu Zeqing would become the earth emperor of Shandong, and there would be no difference between him and the emperor of Shandong.

Since Mao Bijiang had given him such great benefits, how could he not agree? So Liu Zeqing agreed to Mao Bijiang's conditions.

And not long after Mao Pijiang left Jinan, Cheng San also came to Lin Dong.

"How is the situation at Liu Zeqing's side?" Lin Dong asked calmly.

"As expected by the general, Liu Zeqing has also turned to Donglin's side. Now we are the only ones who have not taken sides." Cheng San said with a respectful look.

"This Mao Bijiang has some abilities. He wants to do something big. If he can help King Gui ascend to the throne this time, he can indeed reach the sky in one step." Lin Dong said unhurriedly.

"General, in your opinion, who should we support?" Cheng San asked carefully.

Lin Dong shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter who you support, the main thing is to see who can give us greater benefits."

"What the general said is that now that Lu Jiude is desperate, as long as he hammers it, he will definitely get a lot of benefits." Cheng San said with a smile.

"Just do your own thing, the general will take care of these things." Lin Dong said with a slight frown.

Cheng San was startled and hurriedly apologized and retreated. Over the past few years, General Lin has become more and more serious, and even he has become a little unpredictable.

"General Lin, do you also like King Gui?" As soon as Cheng San left, a voice came in from outside the door. Lin Dong looked up and saw that it was Chang Yin.

"It turns out to be my father-in-law. I wonder what business my father-in-law has with Xiaoxu?" Lin Dong stood up in a hurry and greeted him.

It turns out that a year ago, with Liu Yuliang's media protection, Lin Dong finally welcomed Chang Yao's two daughters into his home. Now Chang Yin has truly become Lin Dong's rival.

"It's nothing. I just heard that even Liu Zeqing turned to Donglin, so I came here to discuss it with the general." Chang Yin waved his hand and said.

"This matter is indeed a bit tricky. I didn't expect that this Mao Zheng was really talented and could convince the other four towns in Jiangbei so quickly." Lin Dong said calmly.

"Indeed, I didn't expect that the other four towns in Jiangbei would fall to the Donglin lineage so easily. Now we, the Anton Army, are the only ones left, and I'm afraid we can't fight alone." Chang Yin said with a sigh.

"Father-in-law, don't worry. With the strength of our Anton Army, even if the four towns join forces, what do we have to fear?" Lin Dong said with high spirits.

"Yeah, I didn't expect that in just a few years, the Anton Army would undergo such a big change. Not only was it equipped with new firearms, but it even had a large navy. If the other four towns dared to come at this time,

He will never come back." Chang Yin sighed with emotion. He did not expect that he would have to rely on his son-in-law in his early twenties to help him complete the things he had been busy with for most of his life.

"Indeed, it is true, but it is too early to say this now. Next, we have to see who offers the higher price." Lin Dong said with a calm smile, as if he had everything under control.

Lu Jiude was very happy after receiving Liu Zeqing's promise, and immediately came towards Anton's army.

However, before he came to Andongwei, the bad news came. Liu Zeqing, who had just agreed to support King Fu, actually publicly let out the news and agreed to support King Gui.

Hearing the news, Lu Jiude almost lost his temper. After a lot of hard work by several eunuchs, he finally regained his temper.

"His Royal Highness Prince Fu, you are an old slave and useless. Now four of the five towns in Jiangbei have taken refuge with Prince Gui. The situation is at an end..." Old Lu Jiude said with tears streaming down his face.

It turns out that Lu Jiude grew up watching King Fu, and in his mind there was no difference between King Fu and his nephew.

Lu Jiude was very sad for a while when King Fu was banned from the outside world. Now that he finally has this opportunity to let King Fu ascend to the top of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, he naturally wants to seize the opportunity to fulfill his wish.

But he never thought that his long-planned plan would be easily destroyed by that brave enemy. In order to get these soldiers to support King Gui, the other party really spared no expense.

"Father, although the other four towns have all voted for King Gui's family, don't we still have the Anton Army to win over? With the strength of the Anton Army, as long as we keep it firmly by our side, are we afraid that the other four towns will fail?"

A young eunuch came forward to comfort him.
