"It turns out that he is Mr. Zhou's family. I wonder what you have to do to stop me?"

When Fu Zonglong heard that he was a servant from the home of the Pavilion Master, he spoke very politely.

The servant of Zhou Yanru's family said: "Our master asked me to bring a message to Fu Futai. It is a good thing for Fu Futai to return to Beijing this time, so there is no need to worry."

"I understand." Fu Zonglong nodded.

I knew in my heart that this was the guidance Zhou Yanru gave me and that this love must be recorded.

The servant of Zhou Yanru's family said: "The young one will not delay Fu Futai from entering the palace, and the young one will leave."

After saying that, he got into the crowd and walked away little by little.

Fu Zonglong felt much more at ease when he looked at the servant who left.

Since the visitor told him that this trip to the capital was a good thing, he finally didn't have to worry about losing his official position and returning home like Sun Chengzong.

There is no need to deceive him as a foreign official as a cabinet master.

"Let's go to the imperial city." Fu Zonglong greeted his followers and rode into Zhengyang Gate.

As a foreign official, Fu Zonglong received an order to go to Beijing and was soon taken to the Ganqing Palace where Chongzhen handled government affairs.

"I, the governor of Shuntian, Fu Zonglong, please see Your Majesty." When Fu Zonglong saw Chongzhen, he immediately stepped forward and took a tribute.

Although he has always been a foreign official, this is not the first time he has met Chongzhen.

When he was serving as Governor Shuntian, he met Chongzhen in advance according to the rules before going to Zunhua to take office.

"Fu Aiqing doesn't have to be too polite, get up quickly." Chongzhen was very kind when he saw Fu Zonglong this time.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After Fu Zonglong thanked, he stood up straight.

Chongzhen looked up and down at Fu Zonglong, with his good-looking facial features, a loyal and honest face, and his eyes were full of strength.

"What do you think of the tiger thieves who invaded Shandong?" After looking at it, Chongzhen asked about the other party's affairs in Shandong.

As the governor of Shuntian, Fu Zonglong naturally heard about Shandong's affairs. After a little thought, he said: "Shandong is related to the transportation of the grain. I think Shandong must not make any mistakes."

"Fu Aiqing thinks there is any way to solve the tiger thieves in Shandong and make Shandong stable? It will not affect the grain transportation?" Chongzhen continued to ask.

Fu Zonglong did not answer immediately, but looked thoughtful. After thinking for a while, he said: "The tiger thieves invaded Shandong for only two points. One is to cut off the grassland and cause the capital to fall into a grain shortage, and the other is to Denglai Palace. Just figure out the tiger The two goals of the thief, I, Daming, made corresponding countermeasures around these two points, which naturally solved the dilemma of Shandong."

"How did Fu Aiqing guess that the tiger thief was for Denglai's second palace?" Chongzhen looked puzzled.

He had always thought that the tiger-shaped flag invaded Shandong to cut off the grain transportation and disrupted the capital, and then took the capital in one fell swoop, thus conquering the world. He never thought that the tiger-shaped flag would invade Shandong to Denglai Prefectures.

Fu Zonglong said: "When Commander Sun was still the commander of Ji Liao, he had a letter with me, mentioning the fact that Lushun was occupied by tiger thieves. Lushun and Denglai were across the sea. I boldly guessed that the tiger thieves It is very likely to be to seize the two palaces of Denglai, to seek an outlet to open up a passage between the bandits occupying Lushun."

"So that's it." Chongzhen felt that he had been taught.

No one in the court told him this before, and he never thought about the connection with Lushun. He always believed that the tiger thieves attacked Shandong to siege the capital.

Fu Zonglong continued: "Success is Xiao He and failure is Xiao He. Although my Ming Dynasty's Lushun was occupied by tiger thieves, the same is true. If the tiger thieves occupy Lushun, they will face the slave thieves in Liaodong. The slave chief Huang Taiji will definitely not let the tiger thieves stay easily.

In Lushun, both sides will have a battle for Lushun.”

"What you mean is that the tiger thieves attacked Shandong in order to capture the two palaces of Denglai so that they could find a way out for the tiger thieves in Lushun?" Chongzhen asked Fu Zonglong.

Fu Zonglong nodded and said, "This possibility is not ruled out, and once the tiger thief takes Shandong, he can continuously transport troops and grain to Lushun through the two palaces of Denglai, just like what I did to Lushun before the Ming Dynasty.

The same thing."

"Can you use the slave thief to deal with the tiger thief?" Chongzhen asked.

There were letters to urge for wages everywhere, but the court had no money and food to pay wages. Except for the better situation of the Ming army in Liaodong, the Ming army in other places often owed wages, and many of them owed wages for half a year or more.

These memorials for urging money were ordered to be one of Chongzhen to be the first and two of them.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to solve the problem, he really can’t afford so much money.

Now that he heard the dog biting a dog between the tiger flag and the slave thief, his first thought was that the two Ming enemies would fight each other, so that the Ming Dynasty could save some of the money and food in the army.

Fu Zonglong's mouth twitched for a moment, thinking that Chongzhen was thinking too beautifully, and had to explain: "Even if the tiger thief really fights with the slave thief, it is still in the area of ​​Lushun and Jinzhou, but this does not prevent the tiger thief from invading Shandong, and even

This may lead to the tiger thieves becoming more radical on the Shandong issue and speeding up the speed of taking down the two palaces of Denglai."

Chongzhen was disappointed when he heard this.

The Ming Dynasty lost an opportunity to be a fisherman, and he still had to worry about solving the problem of money and food in the army.

"What a pity, I really thought I could use the hands of the slave thief to weaken the power of the tiger thief." Chongzhen couldn't hide his disappointment on his face, and then asked, "If I asked you to go to Shandong, what are you going to do?"

Fu Zonglong was stunned.

He quickly realized that Chongzhen brought Cong Zunhua this time, probably because he wanted him to go to Shandong.

Thinking of this, his face felt bitter.

Shandong is now a fire pit, just like the position of governor of Ji Liao after Yuan Chonghuan was killed. It would be a hot spot when sitting on it. Even the situation in Shandong is even worse than that in Ji Liao.

If you go to Ji Liao to take office, just by solving the arrogant soldiers and generals in Liaodong, you can stabilize the situation in Ji Liao.

The situation in Shandong is different. When you arrive in Shandong, you have to deal with tiger thieves. If the tiger thieves are so easy to deal with, the Ming Dynasty would not have lost the land of the three provinces in succession and would never be able to do anything to the other party.

Moreover, it is much harder to deal with than a bandit, especially a bandit who acts in the three provinces, such as a tiger thief, who acts in the three provinces. It is difficult to completely solve the problem without concentrating all the strength of the Ming Dynasty.

Without waiting for Fu Zonglong to refuse, Chongzhen said, "I am going to let you take charge of Shandong military affairs and calm down the tiger and thieves in Shandong."

In charge of military affairs and as a civil servant Fu Zonglong, it is naturally impossible to be the general in vain, so there is only the choice of Shandong Governor.

Although there is no governor in Shandong, the current situation in Shandong is special, and it is not impossible to temporarily appoint a governor.

Fu Zonglong hesitated.

On one side is the governor, on the other side is the governor, and on the other side is the offender of Chongzhen, so even the governor Shuntian could not even think about it.

The position of the governor made him very moved.

If he had suppressed the rebellion in Sichuan as the governor, he might have had the chance to enter the cabinet now.

The position of Shandong Governor is now an opportunity for him.
