Chapter 68 Echo
Feng Sheng laughed loudly and said, "Yes, yes. I was wrong."
Although I didn't say this directly. But the opinions of both parties are also understood.
Feng Shengcai didn't believe it. Fu Youde couldn't see his hint clearly. What Feng Sheng was talking about was not about the newspaper office, but about the articles in the newspaper. King Fu Youde looked at him and made his attitude clear. Feng Sheng was still unsure and asked a question. The so-called newspaper office. It must be that no one asked Feng Sheng to participate in the land.
But Fu Youde nodded, this newspaper will definitely have it.
Fu Youde's subsequent reaction was already very clear. Fu Youde will not make any political reaction just because of a little money from the sea.
Yes. The Fu family also made money at sea. But the money is small. It's not much. This little money is not enough for Fu Youde to put the Fu family into political risk. Because Fu Youde knows that it doesn't matter whether this newspaper is civilian or official. Who is behind this is the most important thing.
How could this newspaper be distributed to Peking without anyone's help?
What a joke.
Fu Youde didn't know who was behind this. But Fu Youde didn't want to know either, as long as he didn't wade through the muddy water. Especially since he is about to become the general who conquers the east. Fighting abroad. In this era, Fu Youde did not dare to offend anyone at will. After all, changes in the rear have a great impact on the outcome of the front line.
This is the time to plant more flowers and less thorns.
How could you get involved in such a storm for a little money.
Feng Sheng stopped mentioning the matter and completed the handover with Fu Youde. On the second day, Fu Youde led thousands of cavalry. As the first batch of troops to change defenses, they set off. The only way to go is by land. From Peking to Liaodong, from Liaodong to Goryeo.
Although the journey is a bit longer, there is no need to wait for the boat. Maybe we can hurry up and complete the handover earlier. Take control of the frontline troops.

Feng Sheng sent He Xi away and returned to his house.
The double-sword general Wang Bi came to visit.
Feng Sheng smiled slightly and let him in, and Wang Bi came in. Feng Sheng asked: "Why are you? Why don't they come?"
Wang Bi laughed along with him and said: "I am not a veteran, I am thick-skinned. My coffin boards have been at sea these years. My lord, these rotten dogs in the south are barking, you must stand up for us."
Wang Bi's situation is similar to Lu Zhongheng's. Even worse than Lawrence Lu.
Even though he is old, he is still fighting. Not to mention fighting, his position in the army is not high. At most, he was a deputy general because Wang Bi was considered a fighting general among the generals, charging into battle. The kind of ten swings and ten battles. Let him arrange the movement of the army and formulate tactics and strategies. That won’t work.
Even the matter of charging and killing may not be possible.
People cannot accept old age. I won’t go into detail about what Wang Bi was like when he was young. But now that I am getting older, my strength value has also declined. Logically speaking, it would be great if he could go home and take care of himself. But Wang Bi's background is similar to Lu Zhongheng. Born from the bottom. All the savings over the years were obtained during the war. When I was young, I spent money lavishly. It is precisely because he has been in the military. Only then do I have some money to subsidize my family.
This is the reason why Wang Bi has been leading the army in battles and not retired. He retired. What to do with a big family? There are many other things, how to arrange for my son and grandson?
Wang Bi's share of the sea was not large. But the money is very important to Wang Bi.
Feng Sheng sneered and said: "I will not take the lead in this matter. If I take the lead, I will be Li Shanchang's second best. You should handle your own affairs. Your Majesty will not care about it."
Feng Sheng knew very well that His Majesty tolerated so many meritorious officials. It is because among the heroes, there is no one who can connect everyone, or even most of the people. Even Xu Da didn't dare to do this. A noble man with many internal conflicts. This is something His Majesty can tolerate. Anyone who can unite the nobles. There is only one word: "Death."
Wang Bi said: "If I knew what to do? I would have done it a long time ago. I, Old Wang, can kill people with two knives. There is no problem. But about this pole, I really don't know what to do? I don't ask the Duke. Guidance.”
Feng Sheng said: "Who takes the lead in matters at sea? Who do you look for? What's the use of looking for me?"
After hearing this, Wang Bi's eyes lit up and he said: "I understand. I understand." Wang Bi then mentioned another thing and said: "This Ding Xian. I asked around and it seems that he is from the prince. Is the prince's intention behind this? ?”
Feng Sheng pondered for a moment, shook his head, and said: "Probably not, at least not entirely. If the prince really meant it, why would it be difficult to publish it in the official newspaper? However, there are indeed more corrupt scholars around the prince."
Wang Bi heard that Feng Sheng said it was not the prince's intention. Immediate relief.
Then he hurried away.
After Wang Bi returned, many great generals immediately visited him. What they said, no one knows. But letters flew out from Peking. The situation here in Peiping is not an isolated case. Many dignitaries who only had acquaintances with He Xi wrote letters to express their greetings to He Xi.
Of course, specific ideas will not be written in letters. This letter is merely a certificate. What really matters is the message from the messenger. Even if the letter reaches Nanjing, nothing will happen? It's just a greeting from a thousand miles away.
Also receiving the letter was Lu Zhongheng.
After all, many nobles still have choices.
They did not invest all their wealth into the sea. But Lawrence Lu is not. Lu Zhongheng has settled almost all his property in Nanyang. If not, the court rules. The family members of generals who are sending troops abroad must be in Nanjing.
It is estimated that the Lu family will be reunited in Nanyang at this moment.
Lawrence Lu naturally couldn’t sit still.
It’s just that the journey is far away, so if you want to go to Nanyang, you have to wait for Lu Zhongheng’s reaction. It takes some time.
------
After Fu Youde left Peiping, he put these things behind his mind. There was only the Goryeo battlefield in front of him.
Rushing during the day, staying up late at night to read various documents and details about the battlefield. After he understood the Goryeo battlefield, he had already gone deep into Liaodong.
At this moment, Fu Youde felt confident about the future war. In his opinion, the bones had been almost eaten away by the blue jade. This time he went to eat meat. He could even think of it. What kind of complexion will Sapphire have?
It will be funny then.
However, Fu Youde immediately thought of someone. That is He Xi.
"How should we deal with He Xi?" Fu Youde thought to himself. This blue jade will definitely be transferred away. But He Xi will not. Fu Youde will definitely deal with He Xi in the future. For a moment he looked at his son behind him. Fu Zhong.
Fu Zhong has grown into Fu Youde's right-hand man over the years. Fu Youde not only let Fu Zhong fight, but also participated in politics. For example, last time, Fu Zhong was asked to deliver a letter to Xu Da. Looks like delivering a letter. In fact, Fu Youde's connections were passed on to Fu Zhong.
It cannot be said that Fu Zhong did well in all kinds of affairs. But not bad either.
It's just what happened back then, Fu Youde doesn't know if Fu Zhong has let go.
Fu Youde said: "Zhong'er, what do you think of He Xi?"
Fu Zhong heard Fu Youde ask this. After being silent for a while, he pointed a direction to Fu Youde. Suddenly he said: "Father, where are you looking?"
Fu Youde looked in the direction Fu Zhong pointed, but he saw a field of countryside for who knows how many miles. The ravines are neat and the streets are the same. It seems to be a family's field. And it's already autumn. Various crops in the fields. They are all golden yellow, and when the wind blows, they look like golden waves. Fu Youde couldn't help but said: "It's really good land."
Along the way, Fu Youde had his thoughts. I didn't pay much attention to the things around me. When I saw it now, I was shocked. This is Liaodong. In Fu Youde's view, there is such a scene even outside Peking City. Not many miles. A few dozen miles outside of Peiping, you can see the wasteland.
Fu Zhong said: "I remember this place. If I remember correctly, it is more than a hundred miles away from Yingkou. The last time I came here was probably seven or eight years ago. It is still deserted. There is nothing, not even human habitation. nothing."
"It's only been a few years and it's already like this. Father, how many years has He Xi been in Liaodong?"
After hearing this, Fu Youde couldn't help being extremely shocked. He felt that he had already looked up to He Xi very highly, but now it seemed that it was far from enough. Fu Youde was not unaware of the shortage of military rations in the north. Not to mention anything else, just He Xi’s ability to grow food. It cannot be underestimated.
