When Li Yuanyin and others heard the words, they had to follow Zhao Ming and go to the palace.

Zhao Ming walked in front and laughed proudly, "The Gu King inspected the surroundings and had not eaten for a day. Seeing that you were waiting outside the palace for a long time, you must have never eaten. If you don't say anything else here, you can have enough steamed buns and meat, and then put some Jiangdong side dishes and a few jars of good wine, let's drink together."

Li Yuanyin just nodded and entered the palace with great worries.

It was during dinner, and Zhao Ming didn't care about food and drink. He always ate whatever he met and what his soldiers ate.

At that moment, with an order, the hot steamed buns and broth were delivered to the table. Zhao Ming called a few people to sit down, and then ordered some mutton, pork, stir-fry some hard dishes, and bring some jars of wine to deliver it.

Zhao Ming put a bowl of wine, greeted everyone to eat and drink, and talked about the heroic battle in recent days, which had annihilated the four Manchurian flags, raided Dagukou, and crossed Hebei.

He talked about the matter of Fenglangjuxu, Ban Dingyuan, Han Zhongjun, and Geng Gong's return to Yumen.

The generals in Jiangbei recalled the deeds of the ancients and related to the battles outside the pass in recent years. They all sighed, feeling happy, heroic and ambitious.

Li Yuanyin was a little absent-minded. He tore the steamed buns into slices and put them into the broth. While eating them, he had to admit that fighting with the Wu Yue army was indeed the most passionate moment of his battle since his expedition.

If possible, Li Yuanyin was willing to serve Zhao Ming and Wu Yue army all the time, but he received a letter from Li Chengdong asking him to return to Jiangbei and serve King Lu, and he had to reply.

Zhao Ming said for a while, secretly observing the expressions of everyone, suddenly put down the wine bowl and sighed, "Oh! In recent days, I have fought side by side with you and entrust life and death, which is very pleasant, but..."

Many generals from Jiangbei quickly stood up and bowed, saluting together, "It is also a great blessing for the last general and others to be able to follow His Highness to fight!"

Zhao Ming waved his hand and said sadly: "The Gu King knows that you are worried about Jiangbei and are determined to return to Jiangbei to serve. There is no war on Gu at the moment. You are going to go, but I will not stop you. However, it takes time to arrange the ships. You can wait for peace of mind. You will send a boat to send you back to Jiangbei soon."

After speaking, he drank the wine in the bowl with a look of reluctance.

Zhao Ming's intentions, Li Yuanyin and others actually understand them in their hearts.

After the Jiangbei Army arrived in Liaodong, Zhao Ming did not treat them as outsiders. He was the same as the Wu Yue Army, and gave priority to equipment, money and food, and his treatment was not even worse than that of Wu Yue. Sometimes it was even better.

Wu Yuejun was heartbroken to them and treated them as their own people. Now everyone was really embarrassed to speak up and leave.

Looking at Zhao Ming's expression, they all felt a little sorry for Zhao Ming.

When the generals of Jiangbei heard Zhao Ming's words, they didn't know what to say for a moment, but in the end they all bowed their heads and fists in shame, "The last general is to thank His Highness for your fulfillment!"

Li Yuanyin said: "We will keep all the equipment your highness gives us."

Zhao Ming raised his face and said unhappily: "Why did Yuan Bo say this? Now the situation is stalemate. After you return to Jiangbei, you will inevitably encounter a big battle. You will take all the equipment of the Jiangbei army. In addition, the Lone King will send you fifty quick cannons, five thousand grenades, and 30,000 kilograms of gunpowder."

After saying that, Zhao Ming picked up the wine bowl and shouted: "Okay. I won't mention these today. Come and drink, just treat the Lone King to practice it for you!"

Li Yuanyin and others were moved and picked up the bowls one after another, "We remember your love in our hearts, I did it!"

After speaking, they all raised their heads and cooked a bowl.

"Okay!" Zhao Ming shouted, "Come on, let's drink more! I won't be drunk today!"

Zhao Ming no longer mentioned the incident in Jiangbei. During the banquet, he only talked about the old things that had fought in Liaodong in recent years and attacked the Qing Dynasty. Then he drank happily, threw Li Yuanyin and others to the ground one by one, and rolled under the table.

At this moment, looking at the drunk people, Zhao Ming sneered, "Hmph, little!" Then, he waved his hand and ordered, "Come, send them back!"

After the guards sent Li Yuanyin and others away, Zhao Ming immediately ordered: "Let Zhang Jiayu come to see the orphan."

Soon, Zhang Jiayu came to the study and saw Zhao Ming leaning on the seat, pressing his forehead with one hand, breathing heavily, and looking a little tired.

Although Zhao Ming had a good alcohol tolerance, he was actually almost the same when he drank more than a dozen Jiangbei generals.

"Your Highness!" Zhang Jiayu called softly when he saw this.

Zhao Ming reacted and sat upright, "Mr. Zhang is here!"

"I just arrived!" Zhang Jiayu said, "Your Highness is busy with all his life, so you must take care of your health!"

Zhao Ming raised his hand to signal Zhang Jiayu to take his seat, and then asked, "Is there any news from Jiangnan?"

Zhang Jiayu shook his head, "Since the news that Zhu Youjian escaped from Nanjing a few days ago, no other news has been heard in recent days."

Zhao Ming nodded when he heard the words, and immediately ordered: "If there is news, please notify the Lone King as soon as possible. In addition, if Li Yuanyin asks about the ship, you should suppress it first!"

Zhang Jiayu pondered for a while, understood Zhao Ming's meaning, and bowed: "I understand!"

Zhao Ming then waved his hand, "Okay, let's go down!"

Now that Zhang Jiayu left, Zhao Ming immediately returned to the bedroom to rest, trapping a Korean beauty very much.

In the next few days, Li Yuanyin was waiting for Zhao Ming to arrange a ship for him, but Zhao Ming did not make any noise.

At the beginning of April, Li Yuanyin had to ask Zhang Jiayu and others, but Zhang Jiayu refused. The weather was not good and he was worried about encountering a storm. He asked Li Yuanyin to wait for a few more days. Li Yuanyin went to find Zhao Ming again, but learned that Zhao Ming was going to Ningyuan, and Zhang Jiayu also chased Ningyuan.

Before, the Wu Yue army attacked Dagukou, but it was indeed unexpected, but the inconvenience of maritime transportation prevented Zhao Ming from obtaining a large population from Hebei.

This time, Zhao Ming only got 180,000 people from Hebei, which is less than a county's population, and at least two or three million people are needed thousands of miles away from the Liaohe Plain.

To this end, Zhao Ming still needs to take down the Shanhaiguan channel so that he can take away more people next time.

On that day, Zhao Ming was inspecting Ningyuan Fort, Zhang Jiayu suddenly came to report, "Your Highness, the news of Jiangnan has arrived."

Zhao Ming Wenyu raised his eyebrows and said, "What news? How is the battle?"

Zhang Jiayu said: "After King Lu captured Nanjing, he advanced to the throne and sent troops to chase Zhu Youjian. The army captured Wuhu and Anqing all the way, and entered Jiangxi to seize Hukou. However, he was immediately hit by the counterattack of Jin Shenghuan in Jiangxi, and the army stopped at Hukou."

Zhao Ming couldn't help but touch his beards. Such a battle situation was as expected.

The Jiangbei Army has strong combat power, but its territory is small and its troops are small. In the early stage, it has strong combat power and strong offensives, and has a lot of sharp equipment, so it can be unstoppable. However, as the war continues and the war expands, and the equipment is rapidly consumed, the disadvantages of the Jiangbei Army will gradually be exposed.

However, the advantages of the Longwu court's huge size, abundant resources and numerous personnel will gradually be reflected.

At that time, the battle will turn.

Zhao Ming knows a lot about this kind of example and does not need to be listed, so he sees it more thoroughly.

If Zhu Yihai failed to defeat the Longwu court in the early stage, once he entered the stalemate, he would have no chance.

Zhao Ming pondered for a while, and then suddenly asked, "What have Li Yuanyin done recently?"

Zhang Jiayu said helplessly: "It is said that General Li goes to the palace every day to ask when will the palace be returned to the palace and when will the boat go to Jiangbei."

Zhao Ming exhaled and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Zhang, arrange a ship immediately to send Jiangbei Army to Nanjing!"

~~~~~~~

Yingkou, wharf.

More than 10,000 Jiangbei troops were wearing excellent armor, carrying flintlock muskets, and hung kettles, medicine pots, and grenades around their waists, boarding the warship.

At this time, Li Yuanyin and others folded their fists and said goodbye to Zhang Jiayu, "Zhang Jun, please say goodbye to your highness on behalf of the last general!"

Zhang Jiayu smiled and said, "Your Highness can't bear to leave General Li, and he can't bear to come and see him off, but he asked me to send some gifts to General Li and the soldiers of Jiangbei Army!"

After saying that, Zhang Jiayu waved his hand and the soldiers behind him raised dozens of large boxes, then opened the boxes, which were covered with white "Zhao Datou".

"This is!" The generals of Jiangbei Army were shocked and their eyes widened.

Zhang Jiayu smiled and said, "According to the rules of the Wu Yue army, soldiers must divide the military fields. These are the rewards His Highness to the soldiers of Jiangbei, totaling 100,000 yuan. In addition, if you are willing to come to Wu Yue Kingdom, your Highness will welcome you at any time. You will remember your previous achievements and give them land together!"

Everyone was moved when they heard the words. They would leave the Wu Yue army's sequence. Generally speaking, they would suffer all difficulties. They would not have to give rewards and silver, but Zhao Ming not only gave them, but also gave them 100,000 at once.

Knowing that they were going to leave the Wu Yue army, they also gave them equipment and money. Where can I find such a lord?

If not, King Lu was not good to them before, and everyone would have hoped that they would stay all of them.

At that moment, Yinzi was lifted onto the ship, the warship raised its anchor and raised sails, Li Yuanyin and others stood at the bow of the ship, waved goodbye to the generals of the Wu Yue army.

At this time, the ship had just left the harbor. Ruan Jin suddenly pointed to a hill not far from the pier and exclaimed: "It's Your Highness!"

Zhao Ming rode a horse and stood on the hilltop, watching the fleet walk away. Li Yuanyin and others on the boat looked at it and couldn't help but burst into tears.
