This letter was sent by Tao Min to find someone. Tao Min made his attitude clear in the letter, and now Huang Taiji no longer trusts himself at all, and he also knows about Fan Wencheng's negotiation in Lushun. Therefore, Tao Min said that this time he would never help Li Zicheng again, but would turn his face with Huang Taiji. Tao Min hopes that Yulin Bay can remain neutral, and he does not expect Yulin Bay's help, but he also does not want Yulin Bay to help Huang Taiji. If he killed Huang Taiji, then Manchuria could join the Chinese family as a minority, and Tao Min even proposed that a Chinese federation could be established, and Korea, Mongolia, Vietnam, and even Japan could join this large federation to fight against Westerner colonization. Yulinwan should know the reason why he left back then, he didn't really want to conquer anyone, he just wanted to save his own nation.

And if he is killed by Huang Taiji, once Huang Taiji controls North Korea, the Ming Dynasty will have to fight to the death with him, and it is difficult to say whether history will change or not. Tao Min finally said in the letter that no matter what Yulinwan's attitude is, he will find time to go to Jinzhou in the near future, hoping to talk to Xu Lang in person.

Gao Chen couldn't quite understand Tao Min's letter, which was mixed with English and simplified words: "Chief of Staff, my subordinates don't understand what it says." ”

Xu Lang gave a brief introduction to Tao Min's meaning to Gao Chen, and he fell into deep thought. Can Tao Min's words be believed or not, and how will the situation develop after killing Huang Taiji. Once Tao Min controls the entire Northeast, plus Korea and Mongolia, will he really live in peace with the Ming Dynasty?

Xu Lang thought for a while, looked up and saw Gao Chen staring at him, Xu Lang smiled: "Gao Chen, if you have an idea, just say it, and ask if you have a question." Now there are only two of us in Golden State, and we can't find anyone to talk to. ”

Gao Chen asked a question that was difficult for Xu Lang to answer: "Chief of General Staff, there is a question that my subordinates have never dared to ask you, but it is not okay not to ask it now." When my subordinates were in Yulin Bay, they vaguely heard that Tao Min and Tao Gong defected from Yulin Bay, and they were also remnants of the Song Dynasty like you. ”

"Yes." Xu Lang nodded, "I won't hide it from you, they did drift from our homeland to Yulin Bay like me." It's just that they were originally Jurchens, so they took refuge in the Tartars. ”

"But after all, they have been separated from the Manchurian Tartars for hundreds of years." Gao Chen explained, "I mean I mean to ask Tao Min if what he said is credible. His subordinates have always wondered whether he is closer to Yulin Bay or closer to Tartar. ”

Xu Lang smiled: "Gao Chen, if I could answer your question, I wouldn't be so embarrassed." Not only do you not understand, but I also do not understand. ”

Gao Chen didn't speak again, Xu Lang took out two cigarettes and threw one to Gao Chen: "Gao Chen, let me ask you a question." If Tao Min is telling the truth, he really wants to kill Huang Taiji and live in peace with our Ming Dynasty, are you willing to accept them. Don't be in a hurry to answer first, think about it, the Manchu Qing Dynasty has killed many of us over the years. ”

Gao Chen took out the fire chain and lit a cigarette for Xu Lang, and took a deep breath himself: "Chief of Staff, my subordinates can't answer your question either." As you said to me at the beginning, why can't you give up hatred, why should you perpetuate hatred? My subordinates don't believe in religion, but my subordinates sometimes go to our church in Yulin Bay, and my subordinates feel that what those Western priests say still has some truth. God created the world not to hate others, but to love others, to love all people. ”

"Love all people." Xu Lang subconsciously touched his severed finger, "Gao Chen, you and Ye Zhan are good friends, right?" ”

Gao Chen glanced at Xu Lang's hand, and immediately understood what Xu Lang meant: "Chief of Staff, I have been following you since I joined our General Staff, and Chief Ye is now a good friend with me." Your subordinates have never participated in Operation Goryeo, let alone experienced what you have experienced. However, if something happens to Chief Ye, his subordinates will desperately avenge him. ”

"So." Xu Lang looked up at the sky, "Love your enemies, love all people, give up hatred, give up revenge." It's very noble to say this, but I don't know who can do it, anyway, I can't do it, Deng Zhaohui and Li Xiao are looking at me from the sky, and two thousand martyrs are looking at me. It's been six years, and every time I see this finger of myself, I think of the vow I made six years ago. This finger reminds me every moment that I must kill these two. ”

Gao Chen felt that Xu Lang's mood was a little depressed, and he opened his mouth to persuade: "Chief of Staff, don't think too much now, how to negotiate with Fan Wencheng is the most important thing, let's agree with him that we will talk again the day after tomorrow." ”

"Gao Chen, do you think this will work?"

Xu Lang came up with an idea, and when he negotiated with Fan Wencheng the day after tomorrow, he showed Tao Min's letter to Fan Wencheng, and directly told him Tao Min's idea of wanting to kill Huang Taiji. Yulinwan can pretend to promise Fan Wencheng to help Huang Taiji, and when Huang Taiji really turns against Taomin, Yulinwan can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and Huang Taiji and Taomin are both defeated and the best result for Yulinwan and the Ming Dynasty.

Gao Chen thought seriously for a while and then shook his head: "My subordinates think this method is not good. Fan Wencheng, Huang Taiji and Tao Min are all very smart people, and they will not easily believe our words even if they have contradictions. Let's say this maybe it's self-defeating, and it will make them even more together. ”

"Then what do you have to do?" Xu Lang asked.

"Chief of Staff, see if you can do that." Gao Chen said, "I'll still show this letter to Fan Wencheng, but let's not talk about who to help or not." Let's tell Fan Wencheng that the imperial court means to pacify the Liukou, and we don't care about the Manchu affairs. As long as Huang Taiji agrees not to invade the south, he can use any method to deal with Tao Min, and we will never interfere. The subordinates feel that the Tartars may be more convinced by this, and we do need to do this, judging from the current situation, pacifying Li Zicheng is the most important thing. ”

"That's a good idea." Xu Lang said approvingly, "Say so the day after tomorrow and see Fan Wencheng's reaction." ”

Two days later, Xu Lang and Gao Chen led a team of Jinzhou sergeants to meet Fan Wencheng at the agreed place.

"General Xu, what do you think?" Fan Wencheng's attitude seemed to be a little different from the previous two negotiations, "This is the last time this official has come to see General Xu, no matter what the result is today, this official will go back to report to our emperor." ”

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Xu Lang smiled and asked, "There are many things that we have to talk about slowly." ”
