The two of them exchanged glasses at the banquet earlier, but in fact they were just putting on a show, and the amount of wine that actually drank in their mouths was less than two taels.They are no longer young and greedy for drinking. They understand that handling government affairs is far more important than having fun at the wine table. It's just that the status of the two of them is there. No matter what they do, they must first finish the cutscene of the reception banquet, otherwise the outside world may There will be all kinds of gossip.

"The reception banquet is too big for you to hold this banquet. There must be about twenty tables? Just now, there are dozens of people in the toast line. Those who know it is a reception banquet, but those who don't know may think it is." You, Chen Yixin, are having a big birthday!" After Bai Kesi sat down, he started to make fun of Chen Yixin.

Chen Yixin smiled wryly and said: "You think there are too many people, but I have already screened them twice. There are still many people who want to come but have not yet been naturalized, and I have not let them arrange. Also, these people are only from Shandong today. Turn around We have to do it again when we go to Liaodong, and there may be more people there.”

Beks laughed and said, "When I went to Hangzhou earlier, Shi Diwen didn't make as much trouble as you!"

Chen Yixin said: "My side is incomparable with the Donghai Region! After all, his side is peaceful, and he doesn't need to spend too much energy to maintain all kinds of contacts... You came to inspect this time, and there are many people who follow your movements openly and secretly. Very, if I don’t make the reception ceremony a little grander, I might be led by someone with ulterior motives.”

After hearing this, Bai Kesi's expression also became serious, and he nodded to express his agreement with Chen Yixin: "The outside world only knows that you rarely return to Sanya to report on your work, but the executive committee understands your difficulties."

The objective environment of the northern region cannot be compared with that of the East China Sea region. The jurisdiction is divided into two parts, the north and the south, and the middle is divided into two by the Bohai Strait.Not only did they have to face the military threats of the Ming and Qing Dynasties at the same time, but they also had to deal with the livelihood issues and industrial construction in the controlled area, and they were under tremendous pressure both inside and outside.

Leaving aside Wang Tom, who went to North America, the area under Chen Yixin's rule is the administrative region farthest from the center of Haihan's power.Located on the border of the empire, the centripetal force is not that strong after all. Although Chen Yixin is loyal to Haihan, he cannot guarantee that other people will maintain the same attitude.

Over the years, it is not that no one has tried various methods to encourage Chen Yixin to become king on his own. After all, with the resources and military power he has mastered, it is not too difficult to establish a separatist force in the Bohai Sea region.There are even many lobbyists from the Ming Dynasty and the Manchu Qing Dynasty, tempted by prosperity and wealth, hoping to persuade him to switch camps.

Since someone is trying to win over, there will naturally be someone who will sow discord.Over the years, the executive committee has received countless whistleblower letters about Chen Yixin.The content is roughly to report that Chen Yixin was self-willed in the separatist side of Liaodong, Shandong, had a close relationship with the Ming or Manchu high-level officials, and conspired to rebel.

Of course, such means did not have the effect expected by the planners behind the scenes. In 1636 and 1639, Bai Kesi and Tao Donglai went north to inspect respectively, and both affirmed the governance level of the northern region.

For more than 20 years, the northern region has continuously provided Haihan with immigrant population and various strategic resources. The social order and economic situation have also improved significantly, and the military has formed an effective deterrent to both the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty. , almost perfectly executed Haihan's strategic intentions in Northeast Asia.

The hard work that Chen Yixin has put in during this period is probably only understood by the Executive Committee.The basic layout of the northern region was laid down by Wang Tom, Qian Tiandun, Haru Gong, Chen Yixin and other military generals, but the governance work in the following years was basically completed by Chen Yixin alone.

Chen Yixin is in power well, and he has made great achievements in leading troops. The situation in the northern region is stable and developing rapidly. How could the executive committee easily adjust his appointment.

And Chen Yixin also wanted to take this opportunity of Bai Kesi's inspection to the northern region again to show the mutual trust relationship between the northern region and the executive committee, so as to nip some bad signs in the bud.

"Let's talk about the business first." After receiving Bai Kesi's statement, Chen Yixin stopped the topic with interest, took a document from the desk, and handed it to Bai Kesi for review: "I heard that De Wangfu sent someone to Qingdao Port to ask for an interview. Yes, but the person who came to see you may not know the inside story, this is a cooperation agreement signed with De Wangfu last year, take a look."

Bai Kesi took the hand, and replied: "A man named Huo Mingxian came, and we had a brief chat. The Prince De's Mansion is probably worried that the pressure from the Ming court is too great, and we need to make a clear statement to support them. I will Talk to him roughly, we have a corresponding action plan for the safety of Prince De's Mansion."

Chen Yixin nodded and said: "Huo Mingxian is De Wang's staff, but his role is limited, so when he signed the agreement with De Wang last year, he was not present. I think De Wang probably did not disclose the specific content of the agreement to him."

Bai Kesi opened the document and browsed it. In fact, the content of the agreement was reported to the executive committee before it was signed. He had also read it, and it was no different from this handwritten agreement.However, he also understood that it was Chen Yixin who took this opportunity to express his heart and let the executive committee confirm that he did not hide anything in the process of operating this matter.

The cooperation content in the agreement includes that Haihan supports Dewangfu in the form of franchise rights in terms of trade, and provides opportunities for the children of Dewangfu to study in Haihan and become officials. The area provides Haihan with every convenience you need.

The agreement also clearly stipulates that Haihan will provide security guarantee for Dewang Mansion, and if necessary, use all means to ensure the personal safety of Dewang Mansion.

Bai Kesi closed the document, and said to Chen Yixin: "King De is worried that the Ming court will decree to cut down the vassal, what do you think about this?"

Chen Yixin said: "The Prince De's Mansion still has a relatively large use value at present. We still have to try to help them keep the title of vassal king. I will write a letter and send it to the capital to put pressure on the Ming court to show our country's attitude." If it doesn't work, let the De Palace firmly refuse to recognize the Ming court's decree. Anyway, now the De Palace does not rely on the Ming court to distribute their salaries, and the Ming court has little means to control them. There may be more taboos."

Bai Kesi said: "If the Ming court decides to use extraordinary measures, such as cutting down the feudal clan by force, are you sure you can guarantee the safety of Prince De's mansion?"

Chen Yixin said: "Jinan Prefecture is still under the jurisdiction of the Ming court for the time being, but many people have already expressed their attitude to me in secret. Even if there is a decree to arrive in Jinan, it will definitely not be a problem to delay it for a few days. I am stationed in Jinan City. Some manpower, if there is a change, we should have enough time to evacuate the people from De Wangfu."

Bai Kesi nodded slightly when he heard this, since Chen Yixin had already made arrangements, the promise he made to Huo Mingxian at Qingdao Port was not blown.
