Cheng Shijie muttered: "If you catch me, you will catch him. He is hanging like this. I want to see who is behind it!"

Sure enough, for this conflict that did not break out, retaliation came very quickly. At night, a group of officers and soldiers delivered several carts of moldy grain and more than a dozen jars of smelly sauerkraut. They opened the cylinder cover and looked at it.

Not to mention a layer of mildew, there are also some fat and white insects soaked in salt water.

If it were other armies, faced with this situation, they could only bow their heads. But the problem is that Ning Haijun did not expect the imperial court to provide them with supplies since the founding of the army. Faced with the supplies sent by the imperial court, the Huotou Army said that they could use the waste.

Feed the horse.

As a result, Wu Sheng scolded him: "Do you know how precious our war horses are? Are you responsible if your war horses are damaged?"

Yes, these moldy grains were thrown directly outside the camp by Ning Haijun, and the surrounding people quickly robbed them all.

Cheng Shijie created a situation for everyone. Ning Haijun was very arrogant and domineering.

Although Zhang Jin made it clear that Ning Haijun officers could not enter the city, Cheng Shijie still asked the officers to enter the city in batches. After entering the city, they naturally clashed with the officers from the Beijing camp.

First, a Ning navy soldier was attacked by two soldiers from the Beijing camp while he was peeing. In a one-on-two situation, the Ning navy soldier won completely. The soldiers from the Beijing camp who suffered a loss began to shake people off.

Hurrahing, dozens of soldiers from the Beijing camp rushed towards the Ning navy soldiers with swords and guns. The Ning navy soldiers cocked their crossbows without saying a word. The soldiers from the Beijing camp had seen the world and knew the power of the crossbows.

In the end, no melee broke out between the two sides. Under the mediation of their respective presidents, the two sides proposed to send ten people each to fight and compete in boxing and kicking skills.

Meng En, Wu Sheng's second disciple, killed everyone. Nine of the ten masters sent by the Beijing camp did not go three rounds under Meng En. In the end, Ning Haijun paid forty taels of medicine and put four

The banquet is over.

Although Cheng Shijie spent money, he felt comfortable.

Meng En, the CEO, came into Cheng Shijie's sight. Although he was not promoted, he will definitely be promoted if there is an opportunity in the future.

When it was time to turn on the lanterns in the evening, it actually started to rain in the capital, and the weather suddenly turned cold.

Cheng Shijie looked at Wu Sheng and said: "It is easy to catch cold in the autumn rain. Let the brothers go back to the camp to rest and just leave a few sentries!"

"No!"

Wu Sheng resolutely rejected Cheng Shijie's order.

"This is the capital city. Safety is not a big problem. Don't let the brothers get cold outside!" Cheng Shijie did not mind Wu Sheng's rebuttal and gently ordered.

"Commander, since the evening, there have been some people walking around the camp. Although I don't know who they are, they come out to wander around in the rainy night. They think they are not good people. The situation is unknown, and the sentry cannot be withdrawn!"

"oh!"

Cheng Shijie wrinkled his head and pondered with bright eyes...

Although Wu Sheng's report doesn't mean anything, it can't be ignored. Since time traveling, he hasn't had a bloody feud with any larger forces.

Although some of the people he killed had family members, they were not wealthy and powerful families, and it was impossible for them to organize their forces to do anything detrimental to themselves.

However, Cheng Shijie knew about his family's affairs. The industrial development in southern Liaoning had a huge impact on the economy of rural small farmers in the Ming Dynasty.

Just like Cheng Shijie's textile factory in southern Liaoning, the woolen cloth, linen, salt, and steel produced have affected the interests of too many people. These people may not rule out looking for opportunities to kill themselves.

The conflict between himself and Jiannu is actually a mixture of national conflicts and national interests. His own existence is the biggest threat to Jiannu at the moment.

Especially Hu Erqi's fire, this kind of conflict gradually escalated. Every child of the Aixinjueluo family hated themselves with itch, because they were about to starve this winter. With Jiannu's comprehensive strength, he sent some killers

It is undoubtedly quite cost-effective for a group like this to eliminate this big threat invisibly.

There is also the imperial court. As the central imperial court, it is also a normal thinking mode to nip an unformed vassal town in the bud.

However, if you eliminate yourself, will you really eliminate the rising Liaodong feudal town?

The biggest difference between the Liaodong vassal town under the leadership of Cheng Shijie and other vassal towns in other places is that there is no hereditary tradition. If he dies, there will definitely be other successors.

Of course, who will succeed him is a big problem. Currently, his team does lack a person with enough prestige and ability to replace his role. Whether it is Shen Mingyu, Chang Yu or Chen Guodong, they are far from qualified.

As for Zhou Yandong, who has always been his deputy, he may be able to compromise and control the economic development of southern Liaoning, but his ability is absolutely impossible to truly control the army and become a real power figure.

In fact, Zhou Yandong, the number two figure, was in charge of everything in southern Liaoning except the army. Zhou Yandong had no right to mobilize even a single sentry unit.

As for Song Xiance, Lin Xuzong, Qin Bocheng, Ma Shilin, they... let alone them.

The most important thing is that Liaodong lacks a person who can unite the power of both civil and military forces and coordinate the relationship between civil and military forces without Cheng Shijie.

This job doesn't seem difficult. In fact, if Cheng Shijie hadn't promoted Yang Yuniang from a young age, and Yang Yuniang had solved a lot of problems for Cheng Shijie, it would have been difficult for him to do it himself.

But the problem is that getting rid of himself may not directly eliminate the rising new vassal town of Liaodong, but it may interrupt or even reverse the development process of this vassal town.

From this point of view, the possibility that the imperial court wants to get rid of itself is not non-existent. The question is, what benefits can the imperial court gain from doing so.

If Cheng Shijie dies, it will certainly eliminate an unformed vassal town, but it will also turn the newly formed Liaodong defense system into a mess again. The threat of establishing slaves has just been partially weakened, and he dies.

The imperial court should start to have a headache again over establishing slaves.

From the perspective of national interests, killing Cheng Shijie would do more harm than good to the court. But the problem is that the internal struggle in the Ming Dynasty has evolved into a struggle for the sake of struggle, and opposition because of opposition.

After the defeat at Liuhe, the censor Yanguan was impeached. Sun Chengzong, Yu Anxing, and Yuan Keli, the then governor of Denglai, were dismissed at the same time. Gao Di was appointed to manage Liaodong on his behalf.

But anyone with a discerning eye can see at a glance that Sun Chengzong and Denglai Governor Yuan Keli cooperated well in strategic arrangements, but they were still replaced by Gao Di.

Yuan Keli's resignation directly caused the Dongjiang Army to lose control. Although Mao Wenlong had a donkey temper, he obeyed Yuan Keli and was willing to accept Yuan Keli's command and dispatch. He could also better lead Jiannu from the side.

It obviously has a good promotion effect on national interests and the overall national strategy, but several key important figures resigned one after another, and there was also the Battle of Daling River.

Sun Chengzong personally sat in Jinzhou and personally directed the Battle of Dalinghe. Zu Dashou personally took action. However, Guan Ning's army made many stupid moves one after another. In fact, it was to give Jiannu his life and take advantage of the defeat to drive Sun Chengzong out of power.

Those people can ignore the interests of the country for their own interests... To put it this way, killing Cheng Shijie is the easiest thing for them to do.

It also conforms to their logic of doing things.

Cheng Shijie thought for a while and said: "I will write a few military orders and have them delivered!"

Cheng Shijie ordered the Imperial Guard to enter the first-level combat readiness state overnight and wait until the naval warships arrived at Haizhou Port to board the ship immediately.

The second order was given to the Ning Navy Navy, ordering the navy to go to Haizhou Port, pick up the Imperial Guard, arrive in Tianjin, and cruise in the Bohai Bay.

The third order was given to the Immigration Department of the Administrative Committee, asking the Immigration Department to suspend the transportation of immigrants from Tianjin to Liaonan, and instead conduct centralized management and recovery training outside Tianjin.

To put it simply, if the Immigration Department wants to transport food to Tianjin, there are three to four hundred farmhouses in southern Liaoning that can serve as Cheng Shijie's reinforcements at any time.

Finally, for his own safety, Cheng Shijie gave Wu Sheng an order. Without his own orders, if he encountered an attack, he would fight back on his own and break out immediately.

As for Cheng Shijie himself, he quietly returned to future generations.

According to Cheng Shijie's time travel principle, if he returns to later generations from the late Ming Dynasty, he will definitely be in this military camp. If Ning Haijun is gone, this military camp will be unmanned and it will be safe for the time being.

"The commander-in-chief means..."

"I will leave here quietly!"

"My subordinates sent someone..."

"You don't need to send anyone. It's safest for me to leave alone!"

"yes!"

…

Emperor Chongzhen was unaware of what was happening inside and outside the capital. Of course, Gao Qiqian must have been aware of it. Like Cheng Shijie, he was waiting...

Wait for some people to jump out.

At this time, Gao Qiqian had changed from the most knowledgeable eunuch to a great chef.

Instructing the eunuchs in the palace and the imperial chefs in the imperial dining room, they began to prepare a sweet potato feast and a potato feast for Emperor Chongzhen.

"Your Majesty, please try it. This dish is called spicy and sour potato shreds!"

The chef in the imperial dining room has excellent knife skills. The potatoes were shredded as neatly as if they had been measured with a ruler, neither too big nor too small.

Emperor Chongzhen had already eaten enough. He picked up a shredded potato with chopsticks and chewed it: "Crispy, delicious, delicious, delicious... You mean, the yield of these potatoes is three to four thousand kilograms per mu?"

"Exactly like this, more than 700,000 acres have been planted in southern Liaoning, and the potatoes harvested have piled up into mountains!"
