East Factory Governor

Chapter 573
Cao Huachun stood up, punched Qin Shuhuai, and said in a low voice, "My family, thank you Lord Hou on Changting's behalf, and granted his last wish."

Qin Shuhuai returned a salute to Cao Huachun, and said, "Brother Chang Ting is loyal to the country, he is a resounding man. Governor Cao, condolences!"

Cao Huachun smiled desolately, "I am a son of Dongchang. Being loyal to the emperor is the best home, so why should I be sad? Sad, honored, fortunate. Thank you, Lord Hou, for your concern."

Qin Shuhuai bowed his hands to Li Daliang, Wei Chao and the others again, thinking that this place should be left to Dongchang, so he said, "You all must have some private matters to discuss, so Qin will take his leave first. If necessary, just send someone here Just look for me."

Just about to go out, Cao Huachun said, "If Lord Hou is not in a hurry to sleep, can you talk to our family?"

Qin Shuhuai made up his mind, and then said, "Grand Du's words are serious, so Qin must accompany him."

Cao Huachun opened the door, gestured to go out, and said, "Master Hou please."

Qin Shuhuai followed him to Cao Huachun's room.

After closing the door, Qin Shuhuai said, "If you have any advice from Duke Du, please tell me. Qin is all ears."

Cao Huachun said, "Your Majesty is too polite, and I dare not give advice. Our family is just unable to sleep in the dead of night, so we can talk to Master Hou for a while."

"Please speak, Governor."

"Your Majesty, tomorrow when the army sets off, you will go to the north to fight the Tartars, right?"

"That's right, the situation in Ji Town is not optimistic." Qin Shuhuai said with a worried face, "According to reliable sources, this time Huang Taiji brought a hundred thousand elite soldiers, and the Mongolian tribes also brought many elite soldiers to support him. The Duoyan tribe dispatched 1 troops, and most of them were cavalry. In the Mongolian tribe in Chahatai, it is estimated that there were 3 or 15 troops, so this time there may be 20 troops going south. More than ten thousand."

After hearing this, Cao Huachun sighed, and said, "Yuan Chonghuan also has 10,000+ troops, but only [-] to [-] can fight. It is difficult for him to defend Jizhen."

Qin Shuhuai said, "Yes. So he can only hold on to the three strong cities of Jizhou, Santunying and Zunhua. It is not easy to hold on until now without breaking a single city."

Cao Huachun paused, and said, "Whether it's the Tartars or the Demon Cult, our family believes that Lord Hou will find a way to calm down."

Qin Shuhuai was very surprised, because Cao Huachun's city should not say such flattering and absolute words.

So he chuckled and said, "Oh? Why is Du Gong so sure? To be honest, in my heart, I don't have much confidence."

Cao Huachun smiled lightly, and said, "Master Qin has the entire martial arts forest in his hands. Is there a better source of soldiers in the world? The Tartars are working hard on an expedition. The 10,000+ soldiers are already their limit. One dies and one less. After the Hou Ye has finished fighting these soldiers, he can continue to recruit. Not only the martial arts, but also the source of soldiers in the entire Ming Dynasty, the Hou Ye can recruit. Among other things, among the three sides, as long as Hou Ye raises his arms, there will be at least one One hundred thousand soldiers can follow Lord Hou."

Qin Shuhuai felt that there was something in Cao Huachun's words, so he deliberately didn't answer, to see what he wanted to say.

Cao Huachun paused, and then said, "Master Hou, I heard that the Demon Sect is no longer fighting?"

Qin Shuhuai thought, Cao Huachun should know that Yan Huizhi came to find him. It seems that Dongchang is still watching his every move.However, he said that the Devil's Cult would stop fighting. He should have speculated that the Devil's Cult didn't help Li Zicheng defend the city.

Cao Huachun told himself so clearly that he was still staring at him, what did he mean?He thought that his Dongchang still had a deterrent effect on him?Probably not.

Qin Shuhuai pondered for a while, and said, "This time the Demon Cult launched an army, not with the unanimous consent of all its members. Now they have suffered a series of defeats and occupied most of Gansu. Currently, the government and army are unable to fight back, but they themselves have no desire to fight. Therefore, at this time, the peace faction has the upper hand. Therefore, a few days ago, a member of the Demon Cult came to me and offered to suspend the army, which I naturally wished for."

Cao Huachun chuckled, "The person who came to look for Lord Qin must be an old acquaintance who helped Lord Qin beat the Tartars before?"

Qin Shuhuai said calmly, "That's true, does Duke Du have anything to say?"

At this moment, he was already feeling unhappy, because Cao Huachun's words were obviously tinged with thorns.What is an old acquaintance?Could it be that he, Cao Huachun, still wants to bring up his collusion with the Demon Cult?
However, Cao Huachun did not stop there, but continued, "So, the Demon Sect also wants to cooperate with Lord Hou? Now Lord Hou controls the entire martial arts world, and he also controls the White Lotus Sect that is everywhere in the world. If even the Demon Sect intends to help Lord Hou, then if the little Tartars want to stop Lord Hou's eternal dominance, they will be like a mantis' arm."

When Qin Shuhuai heard the words "Qianqiu Dominance", he suddenly became angry for no reason.

He didn't think Cao Huachun thought he wanted to rebel, because everyone would think so.But Huo Cao Huachun dared to say that he was rebellious in front of his face. Isn't this blatant contempt?He thought that with his Dongchang, what can he do with me?

But calm down and think about it, Cao Huachun's city is so deep, even if he thinks so in his heart, it is impossible to say it so bluntly, right?What does he mean?
Thinking of this, he smiled slightly, and said, "I don't know what Cao Dugong said. If you want to talk about this eternal hegemony, isn't it the emperor's eternal hegemony?"

Cao Huachun smiled wryly, and said, "Master Hou, my family has something to say to you. Our family is already useless. After returning to Beijing, we will retire and return home."

As he spoke, he sighed, "Chang Ting is dead, Zhang Jin is dead, and Wei Huaizong is dead too! These old fellows were all met by our family when we were in distress, hehe, although we are masters and servants, our family In my eyes, they are all old buddies of our family!"

For the first time, Cao Huachun had warm eyes in his always cold eyes.

"They're all good guys! They're all doing their best!" He looked at the ceiling and sighed, "But this is God's will, it's really not something we mere mortals can change. If someone can really decide what the future name of this Langlang Qiankun will be, then Only Lord Qin Hou is alone!"

Qin Shuhuai finally understood that Cao Huachun was disheartened and was about to quit the imperial court and go back to retire—just like what he did in history.It's just that it's early again.

That's why he wanted to ask Qin Shuhuai the truth. Even though he would definitely not get the truth, he still wanted to ask.Just like a person who wants to satisfy his last curiosity before dying.

Are you, Qin Shuhuai, planning to usurp the throne?

Qin Shuhuai felt that if this was the case, then his chance might have come.

The opportunity to complete one of the main tasks of the system and become the governor of the East Factory has come.

After pondering for a while, he said bluntly, "Duke Du is right, the world belongs to me, maybe it's just a thought of this Marquis."
