"Ah, Uncle Yuan, why are you here?"

Liu Xingming was surprised and delighted when he saw Yuan Zongdi.

Yuan Zongdi is here, Daddy can't beat him anymore, right?

At least he had to save some face in front of people.

"Liu Erhu, why did you beat up the child. What can't you say? ”

Yuan Zongdi walked up to Liu Tichun with a smile, patted him on the shoulder and said, "You and I haven't seen each other for a long time, this time we have to get together." ”

Since the Ming army recovered Chongqing, Yuan Zongdi and Liu Tichun each led their troops back to their garrisons.

Although the distance between Wushan and Dachang is not too far, both of them have their own affairs to deal with, and there is really little time to get together.

"Oh, old brother, this kid is just underbeaten, don't stop me today, I have to teach him a lesson!"

Seeing this, Liu Xingming hurriedly flashed a few steps and complained to Yuan Zongdi: "Uncle Yuan, you can save me, my father wants to kill me!" ”

Yuan Zongdi smiled bitterly: "It stands to reason that I, an outsider, should not be involved in your housework, but I came today for something important." Can you Liu Erhu change the time if you want to beat the child? ”

Liu Tichun glared at Liu Xingming fiercely and said, "Rabbit cub, don't get out of here." Today, your Uncle Yuan has something important to discuss, so you are lucky. ”

Liu Xingming ran away as if he had been granted amnesty.

"Alas, this unsuccessful thing really me off."

Liu Tichun and Yuan Zongdi were both born in Li Zicheng's Shangluo Eighteen Cavalry, and they can be said to be old acquaintances.

Over the years, the relationship between the two has been very good, and it can be said that they know everything and say everything.

Yuan Zongdi made a special trip this time, and Liu Tichun could guess that it was not a trivial matter.

"Brother, what's going on?"

Yuan Zongdi didn't hide it, and said straight to the point: "You also received the letter of persuasion from the chieftain to surrender Erhu, right?" ”

Liu Tichun nodded and said, "Even if I behead the messenger, this Shunzhi child will look down on us too much." ”

Yuan Zongdi agreed: "The basic concept of our old brothers is the same, that is, no matter how difficult or bitter it is, we cannot be captured. It's just that the court issued such a letter of persuasion, if we don't get a response, I'm afraid that the river will be blocked next, and we are strictly forbidden to go to Huguang to buy food. ”

Liu Tichun's expression darkened when he heard this.

This is also his biggest concern.

In contrast, he was not worried about the Qing army's invasion.

They were in the upper reaches, and even if the Qing army and naval divisions attacked, they had to go upstream, and they were well defended by virtue of the terrain.

However, if the Qing army imposed a blockade on them, it is very likely that there will be major problems in the grain production capacity of the eastern regions.

"Brother, you still have salt in Dachang, but I don't have anything here."

Liu Tichun said with embarrassment: "I'm afraid that the food in Sichuan is not enough to eat, right?" Can Your Majesty help us some? ”

Yuan Zongdi shook his head and said, "King Jin's army also needs to eat grain." What's more, even if Your Majesty is willing to help us, it is impossible to give us money without limit, right? We've got to figure out something. ”

Liu Tichun sighed and said, "What can I do?" Even if all the land in the mountains is cultivated, there will not be enough food to grow. ”

"The captive army doesn't let Huguang sell us grain, we can ask someone to buy it."

Yuan Zongdi already had a draft, and said in a deep voice: "There are many grain merchants who come and go to Huguang, and I know some of them, so I may be able to buy them from them." ”

"Who is willing to do this murderous business?"

"Naturally, it's going to bleed. However, the silver we snatched from Dongyu is of no use here, and it is safe to change it for food. ”

Liu Tichun was also a little moved when he heard this.

"Can these businessmen be trusted? Don't take the money and don't do anything when the time comes! ”

"Don't worry, this second tiger, we are not bluffed. You can give them a part of the deposit first, and we will pay when they bring the food. ”

Liu Tichun thought about it, and it seemed that there was only that.

"The little tiger said, let's go to Yiling for a turn in a while, give Donglu some colors to see, and let the sons and daughters experience and experience."

Most of the soldiers under Yuan Zongdi's command were veterans who followed King Li Chuang to fight the world, but these veterans were basically in their forties. Although he is still in the prime of life, he has to think about the future.

What if these veterans are fifty or sixty years old and can't fight? Who will guard the towns of Kuidong? Young people have to come up.

Liu Tichun's situation here is similar, which is why he has been taking Liu Xingming with him to cultivate over the years.

Although each of them hoped that the anti-captivity project would be completed immediately, the reality was cruel. They must be prepared for a long time to resist captivity.

This requires the training of young people so that their descendants can continue to resist Zhenming.

"Well, that's exactly what I mean. Huguang's captives are too arrogant, and they must be given some color. ”

"There's one more thing I'm here to do."

Yuan Zongdi approached Liu Tichun mysteriously, and said in a low voice: "I heard that Erhu asked for a batch of captured weapons from His Majesty when you were in Chongqing, can you give me long eyes?" ”

Liu Tichun gasped when he heard this.

He felt that Yuan Zongdi would not be so simple here, and he really let him guess it!

At the beginning, the towns of Kuidong attacked Chongqing with the Son of Heaven, and after the city was broken, the Ming army captured a large number of firecrackers from the Qing army.

How to deal with these firecrackers is naturally up to the Son of Heaven.

Most of them were placed in the Tiger Army, which belonged directly to the Son of Heaven.

Liu Tichun was cheeky and went to ask the Son of Heaven for a hundred bird guns, and he didn't go to Chongqing in vain.

Yuan Zongdi doesn't know where he got the news, didn't he take a fancy to this hundred birds?

This is Liu Tichun's heart, and he won't let anything go.

"Big brother, that's your problem. Everyone was present at the time, you didn't ask the Son of Heaven to beg me, how can you ask me now. ”

Liu Tichun shook his head again and again and said, "It's easy to say other things, but this fire gun is not negotiable." ”

Yuan Zongdi rolled his eyes when he saw this.

"I don't care if you want it, you can't just take a look?"

He said in his heart, Liu Tichun is too stingy. The brotherhood between the two of them for so many years is not worth a hundred birds?

Liu Tichun has an attitude that I know what you are thinking, don't say it again.

Yuan Zongdi saw that Liu Tichun didn't enter the oil and salt, so he had to give in: "That's it, I'll exchange things with Erhu you." That's all right, you even half of me out. ”

Liu Tichun said in his heart that this was about the same, so he began to bargain: "What is the old brother going to exchange for?" I can tell you in advance, but silver won't work. ”

Yuan Zongdi gritted his teeth and said, "When I buy food, I'll exchange the grain for the assembly, right?" ”

Liu Tichun was very moved when he heard this, and he thought for a moment and said, "That's okay, but I'll give you a maximum of thirty strokes, and I'll keep the rest for myself." ”
