"Xu Lang." Wang Hua smiled, "I didn't expect us to think about it, we were also discussing why Dolgon didn't carry his two white flags but two red flags." ”

"It's actually quite simple." Zheng Jiang interjected, "It must be that Huang Taiji doesn't trust Dolgon very much. ”

"Distrust is certain, but it shouldn't be that simple." Xu Lang straightened out the thoughts that he had just straightened out on the road again, "Everyone, all of us here know that in five years, Huang Taiji will die suddenly in Shengjing, Shunzhi will ascend the throne, and Dolgon will be in power. Tao Min must also know this historical trend, and he is now doing a good job in North Korea, and Huang Taiji will not be unguarded. ”

"You mean that Tao Min will lean on Dolgon?" Zhang Guodong asked.

"I think it's possible." Xu Lang analyzed, "Tao Min and Dolgon went to Mongolia once, and the two of them were together in Beijing last time, Tao Min must have said something to Dolgon." Also, we haven't figured out what the reason is for Mang Guji's death, and I always feel that there is something wrong with it. ”

"Don't worry about Mang Guji first, let's talk about the current matter first." Leng Tianbing asked, "Don't you have any ideas, what are your thoughts?" ”

Xu Lang didn't answer, but asked Wang Hua: "Lao Wang, can you get in touch with Cobra now?" ”

"Not yet. For his safety, we have not contacted him. ”

"I'm afraid I'll have to take the initiative to contact now." Xu Lang pointed to the note, "According to intelligence analysis, Cobra should still be in Nanpu now, while Tao Min and Tao Gong are on Tsushima Island." According to the description of Gao Chen's fake news to Tao Gong in Tianjin last time, the person surnamed He next to Tao Gong should be Cobra. ”

"It doesn't matter." Wang Hua asked, "What purpose do you want to take the initiative to contact Cobra?" ”

"That's what I thought." Xu Lang replied, "If we can take the initiative to contact Cobra, while Tao Min is still in Tsushima, let Cobra reveal the news of Huang Taiji's death to Dolgon five years later, and talk about it mysteriously." Dolgon, who is only twenty-six or seventeen years old, will not be without ideas. If Dolgon makes some moves in Korea, then what do you think will happen to the Emperor's side? ”

Everyone was thinking about Xu Lang's proposal, and Leng Tianbing asked, "But we are going to attack Nanpu with Zheng Zhilong at the end of August, can we have time in time?" ”

"Time is fine." Xu Lang replied, "We still have to make peace with Zheng Zhilong in Taiwan, and we still have to deal with some problems in Dengzhou, even if we really attack Nanpu, we will have to wait until October, and we can also do both." ”

"How do you do both?" Everyone was attracted by Xu Lang's words.

"On the one hand, let Cobra tell Dorgon the news." Xu Lang explained, "We can even tell Dolgon that Yulinwan can cooperate with him to kill Huang Taiji and elect him to be the emperor of the Manchu Dynasty." On the other hand, let Jiang Beiming and Ge Tao prepare in Beijing, once Dolgon has any actions in North Korea and let people contact Huang Taiji, Yulinwan can also cooperate with him to deal with Dolgon and Taomin. Tao Min can think of making peace with Chongzhen and letting the Ming Dynasty government deal with us, and we can also make peace with Huang Taiji and let Huang Taiji deal with him. ”

"Chief of General Staff Xu, you wait first, I'm confused." Zheng Jiang raised his head and asked, "Let's contact them at the same time, and they all say that they want to cooperate, which one is true and who do we want to cooperate with." ”

The rest of the people laughed when they heard Zheng Jiang's question, and Wang Hua said: "Chairman Zheng, which one is not true, what truth can you hear in Xu Lang's mouth?" ”

"Hey, Wang." Xu Lang protested with a smile, "Why is there no truth in my mouth?" ”

Wang Hua smiled and waved his hand: "Xu Lang, your idea is not bad, it is best to arouse the fight between them first." ”

Zhang Guodong, who hadn't spoken much, asked: "Although this idea is good, is there a suitable candidate, especially to contact Huang Taiji, ordinary people can't do this." ”

"If you contact Cobra, you can let He Jiong go in person, and only he knows exactly who Cobra is." Wang Hua said, "As for the candidate to go to Shengjing to contact Huang Taiji, Chairman Zhang, I will think about it again and see if I can send someone from Beijing." ”

"Lao Wang, let me make a suggestion." Xu Lang said, "It's better not to send our own people to Shengjing, first, it's not safe, and secondly, if this matter leaks some news and lets the Ming Dynasty know, then we will be difficult to argue." The imperial court and Chongzhen will definitely use this incident to suppress us, collaborating with the enemy and treason is a serious crime for the nine clans. ”

"That's what you're talking about." Wang Hua hesitated, "If you don't send our own people, who can we send?" You can't tell Chongzhen about this plan, let Chongzhen find someone. If Chongzhen really made peace with Huang Taiji, we would lose a lot. ”

"You have to come up with a perfect plan." Xu Lang lowered his head and thought for a while, "That's it, I'll discuss the selection of people to Shengjing with TechnoAlpin when I go back, let's make this plan first, the more detailed the better." ”

"What about uniting Zheng Zhilong to attack Nanpu?" Zheng Jiang asked, "Is it going to be suspended again?" ”

"No need to pause." Zhang Guodong said, "The two aspects are not in conflict. ”

The general principles were settled, and everyone went back and began to prepare.

As soon as Xu Lang returned to his office, Gao Chen came to the door: "Sir, the plan for Minister Henglu to go to Dongying has been made, please take a look." ”

"Staff Officer Gao, you're moving very fast." Xu Lang took the document appreciatively and began to read it carefully.

Gao Chen's plan was very detailed, and Keiji Yokoji would return to Nagasaki as a businessman with the people from the Second General Affairs Division and the Commercial Bureau, with three tasks. First, it is necessary to examine Japan's current economic and trade situation and strive to establish commercial contacts between Yulin Bay and Japan. Second, we should reconnoiter Japan's current military situation and estimate how successful Tao Min's attack on Japan is. The third is to contact Toyotomi Mitsuko as much as possible, leak the news of Toyotomi Kunimatsu in Yulin Bay, and see Toyotomi Mitsuko's reaction before making the next decision. If Toyotomi Mitsuko cannot be contacted, the news that Tao Min has an intention to attack Japan should also be released in Japan, so that Japan can prepare in advance. Gao Chen thought that Japan should now know the news of Tao Min's capture of Tsushima.

Xu Lang put down the plan and asked, "Has Minister Henglu read this plan?" ”

"Not yet, sir." Gao Chen replied, "My subordinates will show it to you first, and Deputy Chief of Staff Leng hasn't seen it either." ”

Xu Lang picked up a pen and signed his name on the plan: "I don't have any opinions, send this thing to Deputy Chief of Staff Leng and Minister Henglu, and if they have no opinions, they will implement it as soon as possible." Senior Staff Officer, you are now thinking more and more about the problem. ”

"Thank you for the praise of the Chief of the General Staff." Gao Chen stood upright, "The subordinates are all cultivated by the chief." ”

Xu Lang looked up at the sky outside the window: "Gao Chen, is there anything wrong at night?" ”

"Sir, my subordinates have nothing to do at night."

"That's good." Xu Lang said with a smile, "Let's go together after work in a while, and go to my house for dinner tonight." I'll call Ye Zhan and them too, let's have a little wine together. ”

Gao Chen is still living alone in Yulin Bay, and his marriage has been dragging on. When Xu Lang was fine, he would occasionally call Ye Zhan and Gao Chen to his home, Xu Lang now likes these young people more and more, probably he is really old.

"Chief of the General Staff." Gao Chen heard Xu Lang say this matter, and he was not as serious as just now, "The subordinate has a request. It's okay to eat with you, but please be merciful to the chief of the General Staff, my subordinates had a stomachache after drinking for several days last time. ”

"Hahahaha." Xu Lang laughed loudly, "I haven't persuaded you to drink at any time, just have fun." ”
