"Hehe, military advisor, you are really a god. I really touched Xu Changqing's thoughts, I was convinced......"
Pan Duao and Li Dingguo, who were staying in a small hotel near the official hall, were too late to eat dinner as soon as they got the news, so they rushed to the official hall.
On the way, Li Dingguo couldn't help but extend a thumbs up to Pan Duao, his eyes full of admiration.
Pan Duao was also quite useful, and said in his heart: "The Marquis of Haicheng gives face, if not, this thing is really a bit uninteresting......
On his face, he pretended to be unfathomable.
"Hehe, Master Pan, General Li, there are more guests today, if there is any neglect, please also invite two distinguished guests Haihanna."
In the official hall, Xu Changqing greeted them in person.
"Master Hou, you are too polite......"
The two of them hurriedly saluted respectfully, and this was the way they entered the door.
The back kitchen had already prepared a sumptuous wine and food, and after a few simple chats, it was served like an assembly line.
Pan Duao is a literati and has a good family background, although he is a little surprised by the richness of this banquet, he can at least maintain it on the face.
Li Dingguo was a little embarrassed here, his brain was a little bad, he looked at the table full of rich wine and food, and subconsciously swallowed his saliva.
Rao is Zhang Xianzhong's righteous son, leading an army alone, and his identity is respected, but in recent years, they have been tossing and turning in Shu, and the population of Shu has long been one in ten, and the gentry do not recognize them at all.
I never thought that in this world, meals can be made so exquisitely......
Xu Changqing is like this for every marquis, so what should be the scale of the real emperor?
"Hehe, come on, come on, meeting is fate, Pan Junshi, General Zhang, let's have a few drinks before talking."
Xu Changqing saw that the two of them hadn't eaten, and directly beckoned the two of them to eat.
Wine is a good thing.
Especially Haicheng Laojiao, it didn't take long for Pan Duao and Li Dingguo to have a lot of wine, and they gradually let go.
The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors.
Pan Duao was afraid of drinking too much and talking nonsense, so he didn't dare to drink more, so he carefully said what he meant, it was the imperial court's reward for Qin Liangyu that made Zhang Xianzhong very vigilant.
Xu Changqing had almost mastered the matter at this time, and he also admired Zhang Xianzhong's keenness.
This 'Yellow Whisker', no wonder he can come to this point, does have his uniqueness.
The Qin family and the Ma family were actually very busy at this time, only the place where the stone pillar was a little bigger, relying on the dangerous terrain and desperately defending, but they didn't have any offensive ability.
But Qin Liangyu's prestige is not covered!
She has a high prestige among the Han Chinese and ethnic minorities in Shu, including Yunnan and Guizhou.
As mentioned earlier, the core point of the Qin family and the Ma family's weakness is the defeat in the Battle of the Hunhe River, which led to great losses to the elite of the clan, and it is not an exaggeration to say that 'one generation'.
But that's just the starting point.
Later, when Qin Liangyu entered Beijing, although Emperor Chongzhen wrote poems and praised and worked hard to entertain, however, he was poor and patched, and he had no feathers, so he could only do this kind of face work.
The imperial court gradually weakened its support for the Qin family and the Ma family, coupled with Qin Liangyu's old age, many things are inadequate, and the younger generations are not outstanding and can inherit her mantle, this is the core reason.
At this time, if Qin Liangyu has the support of the imperial court, with a wave of his arms, that kind of effect is not a joke.
It is normal for Zhang Xianzhong to not be able to sleep because of this.
"What does that military advisor mean ......"
Xu Changqing waited for Pan Duao to finish speaking, pretending to be thoughtful, and looked into his eyes.
"Uh, hehe......"
Pan Duao smiled a little dryly: "Master Hou, where does this start." In fact, the king of my family doesn't mean anything else, he just wants to maintain this situation as before, otherwise, it will inevitably lead to conflicts, and everyone will be unhappy......"
Xu Changqing laughed, "What does the military advisor mean, do you want me to help deduct the salary of the white pole soldiers?" ”
"This ......"
Pan Duao didn't expect Xu Changqing to say this so bluntly, and he made a big red face for a while, embarrassed on the spot.
Xu Changqing ignored him, turned to look at Li Dingguo and said, "General Zhang, what do you think should be done with this matter?" ”
“……”
Li Dingguo was still eating at this time, and most of the dishes on the table were solved by him alone, and it was like an appetizing side dish, even Xu Changqing was a little speechless.
This master is in the rich land of Shu, how did he become like this?
However, the whereabouts of Li Dingguo and Pan Duao are under Xu Changqing's surveillance, and Xu Changqing understands very well that this master, his foundation, is by no means as 'cute' as he appears.
Notice.
In this era, there are few people in the world, and there are probably few people who can be more unpredictable than the character of the thief Zhang Xianzhong.
Li Dingguo can serve by Zhang Xianzhong's side and win his trust, how can he be a simple role?
Including the fact that he was trapped in Guilin later, forced Kong Youde to commit suicide, and then beheaded 200 members of his family, how could he not have a sense of wit?
Thinking of this, Xu Changqing also felt a little cold at the back of his neck.
After all, this matter is still a bit risky......
But if they don't do this, Zhang Xianzhong and the Great Western Army may not be able to last for a few years, and they will never be the opponents of Wu Sangui, who is like a wolf and a tiger.
"Master Hou, uh, I don't know very well, this matter is up to the ...... of the military advisor"
Li Dingguo looked at Xu Changqing cutely, with an innocent expression.
Xu Changqing smiled, and the judgment of Li Dingguo in his heart couldn't help but be even worse.
This guy, I understand.
Xu Changqing took out the cigar box, kept one for himself, and gave one to Pan Duao and Li Dingguo respectively, and said with a smile: "If it is ordinary, it doesn't hurt for Changqing to promise you, but at this time, the imperial court has already notified the world, and the old general Qin is also working hard, you are going to put me Xu Changqing on the fire to roast." ”
"This ......"
The two glanced at each other, and Pan Duao hurriedly smiled at Xu Changqing and said, "Master Hou, please think of more ways." Otherwise, if the southwest wants to go to war again, it will also be disadvantageous to the overall situation. ”
Li Dingguo also nodded like a chicken eating rice, looked at Xu Changqing cutely, and set up his 'rectum' character almost as seamlessly as he deduced.
Xu Changqing said: "This matter is difficult. However, Changqing has a new idea, I wonder if the military advisor and General Zhang are interested? ”
"Master Hou, please speak."
The two of them suddenly became alert and pricked up their ears.
Xu Changqing said with a smile: "The Eight Great Kings are worried that Old General Qin will take advantage of this to make trouble, and I, Xu Changqing, fully understand. I'm afraid that the extermination of your Great Western Army is also the long-cherished wish of General Qin. But the two of you, you have to understand one thing, Old General Qin is already old, and time is probably running out. Do you think that the children and grandchildren of her old family are comparable to you? ”
"This ......"
Pan Duao and Li Dingguo glanced at each other, pretending to be worried, but that kind of vigilance had reached the limit.
Isn't this fooling people?
When are they fools?
Xu Changqing continued: "Hehe, too, there is no basis for what you say. It is not helpful to talk about this kind of thing. However, I have a question for the military advisor and General Zhang. Judging from the current situation, the two of them think that the biggest threat to your Great Western Army is General Qin, or something else? ”
Pan Duao and Li Dingguo glanced at each other again, and they had already begun to capture Xu Changqing's thoughts, and they were a little bad.
Does this need to be asked?
Although Qin Liangyu is famous, her time has passed.
At this time, the biggest threat they faced in Daxi was naturally Wu Sangui, who had gathered heavily in Hanzhong, and secondly, Emperor Yongchang and Dashun Guo, who occupied Xiangyang and had been looking for a breakthrough!
But this kind of thing, here and now, they won't say it anyway.
Xu Changqing stopped inking, and said directly: "Two, no matter what the eight kings say, they have also been recruited by the imperial court, speaking of which, we are not outsiders." Even though it is repeatedly shameful, I, Xu Changqing, believe that the Eight Kings are not unreasonable people. In this way, you sent me Xu Changqing a congratulatory gift of 20,000 taels of silver, and I, Xu Changqing, were very happy, and I also deeply felt the sincerity of the Eight Kings. If the two of you are interested, I am willing to convert these 20,000 taels of silver into some weapons and equipment of my model army and hand them over to the eight kings to show my Xu Changqing's sincerity. What do you two think? ”
“……”
Pan Duao and Li Dingguo suddenly opened their mouths wide, and they couldn't believe their eyes and ears.
Xu Changqing actually wanted to sell them weapons?
Didn't the sun come out of the west?
Li Dingguo couldn't put his rectum in his mouth at this time, and hurriedly said: "Master Hou, then, I don't know what you need me to do?" ”
Even though Li Dingguo has always been in Shudi, he is a person with great ambitions, and he has been paying attention to the general trend of the world, and naturally he is also paying attention to the famous model army.
You know, the most powerful thing in the model army is the advantage of firearms.
In the past, I couldn't get the equipment of the model army even after fighting my life, but at this time, this is a godsend......
Even if Xu Changqing will do some ghosts here, he may not give them the active equipment of the model army, but even if he steps back a few eras, it is amazing.
Pan Duao also looked at Xu Changqing busily.
"Huh."
Xu Changqing smiled: "Simple." In the final analysis, whether you are Daxi or I am Daming, we are all Han people, broken bones and tendons, counting up to five hundred years, more or less can be related to each other. But! The group of barbarians outside the gate has already occupied half of my Han family's good fortune! How can this be endured? Our ancestors are all looking at us! ”
Ignoring the different expressions of the two, Xu Changqing continued: "The two of you can rest assured, I, Xu Changqing, have no intention of using your Great Western Army as a gunman." I hope that in the next few years, we can reach a rough framework, first dry down the tartars, and then talk about the rest!
Of course, in the location of Shudi, you may not have to face the threat of the Tartars, so I don't have any hard requirements for you.
However, I hope that, at least in the next few years, whether it is you, nor General Qin's side, can maintain restraint, and everyone will join hands and unite with the outside world. Even if the disaster doesn't happen, don't fall into the well!
Otherwise, it's the enemy of all of you! ”
"This ......"
Li Dingguo's breathing was a little short, and he said with difficulty: "Master Hou, do you mean that in the future, if we want to buy weapons from the model army, can we always maintain this kind of transaction?" ”
"Hehe, of course. How could I Xu Changqing not earn money if I have silver? I can even sell you the active bird guns of the model army, as long as you pay for the money. ”
“……”
Li Dingguo and Pan Duao glanced at each other, Li Dingguo just wanted to speak, but Pan Duao stopped him, and respectfully saluted Xu Changqing and said: "Master Hou, the matter is big, the ministers, etc., I want to discuss it, wait, and I will give you an answer tomorrow, okay?" ”
"Haha."
Xu Changqing laughed: "Of course you can, come on, come on, tonight, let's just talk about Fengyue, no matter what we do!" ”
……
When a banquet was drunk, Pan Duao and Li Dingguo were sent away, and Xu Changqing's spirits were also greatly boosted.
Selling firearms to Onishi was not a decision made by Xu Changqing with a hot head and a pat on the buttocks, but a plan that Xu Changqing had a few years ago.
The sale of weapons is not only for the Great Western Army, but for many people who need it!
At this time, although the model army armory workshop could not jam the source of bullets like later generations, and accurately jammed the logistics line, it was the source of gunpowder that could jam birds.
If the gunpowder [Starry Sky www.xkxs.xyz] provided by the Model Army is not used, then the range of the bird gun will be greatly reduced, to only fifty or sixty paces.
And this gunpowder ratio has been added to several layers of secrets, and there are problems with the bird gun itself and the gunpowder, even if there are talents under Zhang Xianzhong, don't think about it in three or five years!
That's enough!
