Chapter Fifty-Eight: Fan Wencheng's visit to the kiln gang touched Ouyang He's tongue to fight the Manchu envoys

After listening to the conversation between Fan Wencheng and Azig, Azig's son Doni interjected: "They all say that their kiln is so good and so good!" We're finally here, and we're also going to take a stroll around Yaogang, right? There's nothing to see around the area. ”

"I wonder if the kiln people can let us walk around?" Fan Wencheng pondered for a while and said.

"May I ask them?" Doni turned around and went out, and after a while he came back with two copies of the traffic map of the kiln gang, and said, "Strategist! They said they could go out. From here, there are trams and cars in the city. They also said they could send us a car if we needed to. If you need a guard, you can send it to us. ”

"What's the fuck going on with this kilnman?" Azig said puzzled, touching his head.

"Hey! Shuobeile must not fail to accept the kindness of the kiln gang people," Fan Wencheng said, "This is the kiln gang people showing their generosity." ”

"Huh! Interesting," said Azig, "to-morrow morning we will go to the kilns, and I don't want to wait here any longer." ”

"I think, we came thousands of miles to the kiln, and it would be wrong not to take a look!" Fan Wencheng said, "Tomorrow I will go out with Shuobeile!" ”

Azig looked at the traffic map of the kiln gang and asked Fan Wencheng: "Military advisor!" They kiln gang people make the map of the kiln gang so detailed, aren't they afraid that others will use it when they attack them? ”

"Huh!" Fan Wencheng said with a smile, "The people of Yaogang are not afraid!" Just give us the picture, can we help the kiln? ”

"O military advisor! You're good at everything, but it's not good to always have the ambition of others! Azig said dissatisfied.

"Isn't what I'm telling the truth?" Fan Wencheng asked tepidly.

"Humph!" Azig snorted and stopped talking.

The next day, after studying the map of Yaogang, Azig and the others wanted to move a little more freely, and asked the waiter how to take the tram, and did not use the hotel to send them a car, so they took the tinkling tram in front of the hotel, and the first stop was to Yaogang Square.

They didn't expect that there would be so many people in Yaogang Square, it was really bustling and rubbing shoulders. They walked into the crowd and didn't attract anyone's special attention, because there were all kinds of people, all shapes and shapes, and no one would pay attention to anyone. There are many circles in the square, and in almost every circle, there are many people talking about various things. What is most talked about now is how the kiln gang people quietly took Fujian.

Fan Wencheng was on the train from Datong to Yaogang, and only through the newspaper did he see that the people of Yaogang easily captured Zheng Zhilong, the overlord of the southeast. At that time, Fan Wencheng secretly took a breath of cold air.

Fan Wencheng wanted to hear what these ordinary people thought about it, but Azig didn't want to hear it. But no matter how Fan Wencheng urged, he just didn't move outside the crowd.

Fan Wencheng heard that these were all ordinary people talking about these things, and a lot of deductive things were added to their discussions. However, Fan Wencheng also saw that this place was completely different from other places in the Ming Dynasty, and in other parts of the Ming Dynasty, no one dared to talk about such things in broad daylight, and many other true and false things were added to the discussion. However, what Fan Wencheng felt the most was that these people were all united with Yaogang, and they were all happy that Yaogang had taken Fujian.

Finally, Fan Wencheng left, and Azig came over and said, "It's all people who have enough to eat!" ”

"That's right! Shuobel, look at the people here, all of them are brightly dressed and have good complexions! There are no people who don't have enough to eat, and there are no beggars. Fan Wencheng said.

"Yes! Yaogang is so fucking rich! Azig also saw it, "It's like they're all rich people." ”

Doni said, "It seems that all the people of the world have come to the kiln!" The clothes of the kiln people are so beautiful! ”

"Huh! Boy, it's a beautiful woman in the kiln, right? Fan Wencheng joked.

"The military advisor is right, the women here are all so good-looking, and they don't shy away from people!" Dhoni is a solid-eyed child.

What made Azig even more unbearable was that Fan Wencheng saw an old man playing chess in the shade of a tree, so he couldn't leave. There was really no way for Azig and Doni to leave by themselves, they had to go to the Yaogang Department Store introduced by the waiter.

After playing a game of chess, the two old men saw that Fan Wencheng had been watching chess without saying anything, and an old man said: "This gentleman is silent when he looks at chess, he is a real gentleman!" How about you have a plate? ”

Fan Wencheng saw that the old man was educated, so he arched his hand and said, "Please advise Mr." ”

"Hey! Just play around, not to mention advice! The old man said, "In a few days' competition, will that be the battle of masters?" ”

"And the big game?" Fan Wencheng asked.

The two visitors laughed, and one said, "Listen to Mr. Accent is from out of town, new here, slowly you will know!" ”

The chess skills of the two old men are very ordinary, not Fan Wencheng's opponents, and after playing two games, Fan Wencheng and the two old men are also familiar. During the conversation, I learned that an old man was in the war, and he was left to flee to the kiln, and he couldn't do anything, so he lived in a nursing home, took care of food and drink and had some pocket money, and came out to play chess to pass the time when he had nothing to do. The other was with his son. The son works in the kiln, is a worker, and has a very good life.

When it comes to the days of Yaogang, the two old men are full of praise, and they both say that they are very satisfied with their lives until now. Fan Wencheng learned about Zhang Zhimu in the kiln through two old men, and they won the hearts of the people.

The two old men pointed to the other piles of people in the square dissatisfied, and those people over there were full of food and drink, and they wanted to be dissatisfied with things, so they gathered there and shouted!

Fan Wencheng said goodbye to the two old men, and wanted to go over to see what those people were talking about dissatisfied.

Fan Wencheng listened to it for a while, and it turned out that some people were complaining that the trams and cars were still too crowded for commuting, and that cars and trams should be added; Some say that the Hutuo River Reservoir has generated electricity, and the electricity price should be reduced; Some people say that the price of vegetables in Yaogang is much higher than that in other places, and it should be reduced.....

After listening to it for a while, Fan Wencheng's eyes were a little moist, and he said in his heart that they were all a group of guys who were born in happiness and didn't know how to be blessed. However, Fan Wencheng felt strange, why didn't anyone take care of this matter? You can't let the people shout about it, because in this case, a small thing will become a big thing.

Fan Wencheng took two entourages and walked around Yaogang Square very freely, and he also felt the freedom he had never had. Fan Wencheng suddenly had a feeling, and also understood why the people of Yaogang didn't care about everyone, so that everyone could say whatever they wanted, which was to give the people full freedom. This is even more valuable for those who have eaten and drunk enough. This is what makes the kiln different from other places. This can be seen from the newspapers and radio stations in Yaogang. Thinking of this, Fan Wencheng also felt extremely comfortable.

Thinking of the fact that Azig and they didn't want to stay here at all, Fan Wencheng smiled bitterly in his heart, these barbarians couldn't accept the education of the Han people, let alone everything here. You can see the high and low from here, let alone anything else. I can go to Yaogang to see it, it is not in vain, as for the things I talked about with the people of Yaogang this time, I can only do my best to obey the destiny of God. At this time, Fan Wencheng knew that the fate of the Manchu Qing was destined not to last long. The best result is that they take the initiative to surrender, get the greatest forgiveness from the kiln gang people, and live a normal life in the future, otherwise the extermination of the culture and the species will be their end. But starting from Dolgon, they all looked at the kiln people with the same eyes as the Ming Dynasty, and it was strange that they were undefeated. Needless to say, I, Fan Wencheng, no one has the power to return to the sky.

This year, there are a lot of students who come to Yaogang to register for the exam, but the number of students enrolled in Yaogang this year is also much higher than in previous years. The Iron and Steel Institute has enrolled students in advance, adding several majors such as water conservancy engineering, agricultural machinery, and agronomy, and other majors are also expanding. Although the enrollment work has added two examination rooms in Xi'an and Yangzhou, the pressure on the side of the kiln gang is still very great, coupled with the disaster relief work, the leaders of the kiln gang are also extremely busy. Lu Chengxiang not only had to organize disaster relief materials, but also organized the first kiln gang product exhibition to be held with Li Yunhe.

However, no matter how busy Li Jing is with them transporting the silver and gold back, Lu Chengxiang will also check the receipts with Huang Yukun. Perhaps for Lu Chengxiang, there is nothing in the world that attracts him more than counting the gold and silver in the warehouse.

After counting the gold and silver in the warehouse, Lu Chengxiang was a little dissatisfied, and when he saw Zhang Zhimu, he said: "Mr. Zhang, they all say how rich Zheng Zhilong is, but he doesn't have much more silver than Li Zicheng?" ”

"I also think that Zheng Zhilong left a hand, don't worry. Li Jing has already arranged to look for it again. And ah! Not only did we get this amount of silver, but we also took over Zheng Zhilong's business, and we collected a lot of money every year. Zhang Zhimu said.

"That's right!" Lu Chengxiang said proudly, "If nothing else, Fujian's silver is enough for our army." Even after the expansion of the army, it is enough, Mr. Ouyang has already given me a plan for the expansion of the army, I calculated it, it doesn't take much silver. Besides, the gold-swallowing beast in the Hutuo River can now lay golden eggs, and now the railway can collect money in addition to us, so we are more generous. Next year, if the power plant and textile factory in Hankou can be built, it will also be a big cashier. This year, I have built more than a dozen large grain depots. In the future, if we collect more food, we will be less panicked. In fact, it doesn't cost much silver to harvest grain. ”

"We built a railway and a bridge, and there were more than a dozen major expenditures for the water diversion project. The silver in these places must be secured, and there must be some silver for disaster relief. Zhang Zhimu said, "Our family has a big business and a big cost. ”

"You can rest assured about these things! I'll arrange the money in advance. Lu Chengxiang said, "This year, we spent a little more money to build a few schools, and other expenses are not very large, and they are all planned." In the future, our goods can be directly traded overseas through Fujian, and we will receive more silver. ”

Ouyang He originally wanted to go to see Azig and Fan Wencheng and their party in the morning, but when he got the news that they went out early in the morning, he sent someone over, made an appointment with them, and invited them to dinner in the evening.

Fan Wencheng returned to Xishan Hotel, full of thoughts and emotion. Azig and Doni father and son were also very happy to visit today, they were reluctant to come out when they entered the Yaogang shopping mall, and they felt good about everything. I bought a lot of things, and I carried them back in large bags. When Fan Wencheng saw them like this, he frowned, thinking to himself, Azig, you are a messenger sent by the Qing Dynasty, you are like this, you will be looked down upon, but Fan Wencheng held back and swallowed his words without saying anything. Fan Wencheng knew that it was useless to say it, these people with well-developed limbs and simple brains, no matter how much they said, they couldn't accept it.

Fan Wencheng told Azig: "The military advisor of Yaogang sent someone to leave a message, saying that he would invite us to dinner in the evening. Let's take a break! ”

"What?" Azig was a little angry, "Why don't their Zhang Dongjia see us?" Didn't the regent say that he wanted to meet with Zhang Dongjia and hear what he meant? ”

"Huh! Shuobeile, the regent is our regent, not the regent of the Zhang Dong family," Fan Wencheng was very unhappy in his heart, but he endured it and said, "Let's listen to what Ouyang He said when he came!" ”

Fan Wen** was very emotional, and said in his heart that there are people like this, how can they compare with other kiln people. They have always looked at the kiln gang people from the perspective of those officials who were greedy for life and afraid of death in the Ming Dynasty, and they did not give up if they did not suffer big losses, and they did not learn lessons when they suffered losses. The defeat of those officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty at the hands of these people is simply sad!

In the evening, Li Zhi accompanied Ouyang He to the Xishan Hotel and greeted Azig and Fan Wencheng and his party outside the scheduled restaurant. Azig and Fan Wencheng and others came to the front of the restaurant on time, Li Zhi went over to introduce the two parties, and the two sides bowed their hands, greeted each other for a while, and then entered the restaurant together.

After the guests and hosts took their seats, Ouyang He said: "Shuobeiler, Mr. Fan, we had something to do yesterday, please forgive me for not coming to greet you." Our Hutuo River Reservoir motor grid-connected power generation ceremony has been arranged a long time ago, involving many guests, and cannot be changed. So I beg your forgiveness! ”

Azig also politely said, "It's okay, we came suddenly, it's understandable." ”

Fan Wencheng also said: "This is the case, we hope that we can keep it as confidential as possible when we come to Yaogang this time, and we don't want more people to know, so it is a bit abrupt, please understand." ”

"We understand!" Ouyang He said, "During this time, our Mr. Zhang was not in good health, so let me come over to meet everyone." If you have anything to do, you can tell me. ”

"We are here this time to meet with Zhang Dongjia entrusted by the regent, and we have some things to talk to Zhang Dongjia." Azig was very determined to see Zhang Zhimu.

"I'm afraid you won't be able to see Zhang Dongjia in a short time, if it's convenient, do you have anything to tell me." Ouyang He's words were very light, but they were also very resolute.

"No, we have to see Zhang Dongjia. Otherwise, we just haven't done our job! Azig was a little angry.

"Do you feel that we have an obligation to help you in your mission?" Ouyang He could see that this was a bastard. The heart said that how could the Manchu Qing send such a person out.

"This ,....." Azig was choked and speechless.

Fan Wencheng hurriedly relieved the siege and said, "Mr. Ouyang, don't misunderstand! What we mean by Shuobeiler is that we really want to see Zhang Dongjia. If possible, please ask Mr. Ouyang to be more accommodating. ”

"Oh! I understand what Mr. Fan meant, and I will try my best to convey your good intentions to Mr. Zhang. Ouyang He said, "I still say the same thing, our Mr. Zhang is too unwell, I'm afraid you won't see him in a short time." Besides, our Mr. Zhang is too busy, and he needs to worry about a lot of big things. What we can share for him, we will try to share for him. If Mr. Fan has something to tell me, I am willing to listen. ”

Before Fan Wencheng could speak, Azig couldn't help it anymore and shouted, "Isn't it a big deal that we have come here from thousands of miles away?" ”

"Huh! Shobel, wrath. Your business is indeed a big deal, but it's your big deal, not ours. As far as we are concerned, it will not take long for the matter on the Liaodong side to be resolved when I have my hands free and send troops. Isn't it a big deal? Ouyang He's words were soft and hard.

Azig was angry and wanted to stand up, but Fan Wencheng held him down and said, "Mr. Ouyang's words are a bit deceitful. We have come here thousands of miles to communicate with you, why do you threaten you? ”

"Huh! Mr. Fan, we are courteous to meet and feast on you. I also told you, you can tell me anything. You don't want to say that you have to see our President Zhang. Let me tell you, Mr. Zhang is not for everyone. After a pause, Ouyang He said, "What I said just now is not a threat, we are forming the Liaodong Military Region, and we are ready." We will march to Liaodong. Now I am negotiating with Wu Sangui, hoping to march with Wu Sangui! Wu Sangui's Shanhaiguan is stuck on the way to the march. We're done communicating, and maybe it's time for us to march. ”

Azig and Fan Wencheng were a little stunned when they heard it, and they didn't know what the kiln gang people meant, did they still say it when they marched?

Azig slapped the table and said, "Our Manchu Iron Cavalry is waiting for you!" ”

"Huh! Manchu Iron Horse? We've seen it! Ouyang He said with a light smile.

Azig couldn't get up all of a sudden. Fan Wencheng said: "We came to Yaogang today to turn hostility into jade silk and let everyone shed less blood." Why bother talking about sword soldiers as soon as you come up? ”

"We don't want to fight, I can tell you. Now Zhang Xianzhong is also in Yaogang, and Li Zicheng has just left. We hope that you will follow their example, surrender power, disband your army, and surrender of your own accord. We will try our best to arrange it for you, and you can come to the kiln if you are willing to come. So that we don't have a lot of deaths, leaving so many orphans and widows! Ouyang He's words were peaceful, but the content of his expression was naked.

"Huh! Mr. Ouyang, do you think our regent can accept this suggestion of yours? Fan Wencheng also asked in a stern tone.

"For us, it's okay for you to accept it or not. We did not invite you to come, but you came on your own. Ouyang He said politely.

At this time, Azig was already so angry that his face turned pale, and said: "If you really go to Liaodong, you won't be able to take advantage!" ”

"Those things have to be talked about in Liaodong, whether you want to or not, we have to march into Liaodong." Ouyang He smiled again and said, "Can't solve the war in Liaodong at the wine table today?" Mr. Fan, are we ready to serve food? ”

"Good! Let's serve the food first! Fan Wencheng understood that it was useless to continue arguing like this.

When the waiter began to serve the food, Fan Wencheng said: "Mr. Ouyang, we came from Liaodong and are sincere friends with the people of Yaogang. Can we talk about it and see if we can work together? ”

"Look, that's how nice. Do you have something to say? Ouyang He said.

"That's right, our regent admires Zhang Dongjia very much, and thinks that he is the hero of today. The Lord Regent asked us to bring us a message to ask if we could conspire with each other. The Ming Dynasty was already a court that was about to decline. We work together to destroy the Ming Dynasty, and we sit in the world together. Fan Wencheng said tentatively.

"Huh! Let me tell you, we just met with Emperor Chongzhen on the Yellow River. Mr. Zhang said in front of the emperor that if there is an emperor, it is Emperor Chongzhen. So we don't care what others think, we can't go against the court. Recently, we are thinking about entering Liaodong, and we have to study it with Wu Sangui! Therefore it is impossible to sit in the world with your regent. Our plan is that the world must be unified. You Manchu Qing Dynasty, several times you broke the wall and entered the customs, you did all kinds of evil, and slaughtered the city several times. Those who commit crimes must be severely punished, otherwise there will be no heavenly justice! Ouyang He's words were very smooth, but every sentence poked into Fan Wencheng's heart.

"Mr. Ouyang is too confident. We, the Manchu warriors of Liaodong, are not sheep either! Although Fan Wencheng lacked confidence, he still said strongly, "We came here to negotiate with you." Why can't you talk about it well, why be so aggressive? ”

"Negotiation requires capital, why do you want to talk to us?" Ouyang He said politely.

"We have hundreds of thousands of Manchu warriors, and millions more Han warriors who have submitted to us. It's all sheep, let you kill it, can you kill it? Fan Wencheng said.

"Mr. Fan, don't you feel weak when you say this?" Ouyang He asked, "I know that there are not many people who can be as loyal to the Manchus as Mr. Fan. You know better how the Manchus treated the Han Chinese. The Manchu Qing Dynasty killed the Han people by the poor, and later the rich were killed. Now it is to let the Han people sell their lives to them and start buying people's hearts. But the Han people have a book in their hearts, and not all of them are willing to be hardcore traitors! ”

Ouyang He scolded the call, Fan Wencheng didn't seem to hear it, and just when the dish came up, he interrupted and said, "Yo! Today, Mr. Ouyang entertained us with Huaiyang cuisine! ”
