"The villain has another little thing, I don't know whether to talk about it or not. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Just as Kang Ning was slowly thinking about it, Li Chunfang spoke again, "That's right. Wang Haoxian contacted the villain privately, hoping to inquire about Xu Hongru through my old department in Shandong. ”

"How?" Kang Ning asked with some surprise, "Could it be that he still wants to find water hyacinth for revenge?" According to his current strength, it would be good to have a position to speak in front of that female nobleman. ”

"Not really." Li Chunfang said unhurriedly, "He told me that it was his new master, and he was very interested in this Xu Hongru." Soon after he went, the Jurchen asked a lot about Xu Hongru back and forth, after he and Pan confessed. The banner owner seemed to be unsatisfied, and still asked about Xu Hongru's situation from time to time, and after learning that he didn't know more information, he simply ordered him to find an opportunity to find out one or two. So he found the villain. ”

After Li Chunfang said this, he didn't hear Kang Ning's reply for a long time. Even Yan Siqi couldn't help but wonder, what was Kang Ning, who had been thinking slowly in the hall, thinking at this time?

For Corning, a time-traveler who does not rely on the golden finger is the most admirable person in this time and space. As long as he is not a person who is willing to degenerate, then he is a person with a capital letter, and Xu Hongru, not only is not willing to degenerate, but has achieved something in his professional field. Four hundred years later, the knowledge of agriculture in his hands has become a blessing for the benefit of the people. Although Corning was working on soil science when he first approached him, it was because the problem of crop varieties had been solved to the greatest extent possible.

As for the problem of detoxification of potatoes or sweet potatoes, it is not something that can be solved by the technology of this era. Fortunately, Boss Huang's golden finger is a link between now and 380 years later. Corning can continue to import excellent crop varieties into this plane from the future space-time. In this regard, Xu Hongru is not capable of solving the problem, but it does not mean that he cannot do it.

However, Corning should be mindful that this advantage is not worth boasting about. Instead, he should pay attention to the fact that what Xu Hongru can do is something that many people in this time and space, including entrepreneurs, can't do. Especially for the Jurchens, who were relatively backward in agriculture, his existence was simply the foundation for a solid state.

That's why the owner of the Red Flag is so concerned about Xu Hongru's affairs.

However, how did he know about Xu Hongru!

Even if the latter never cared that his name was known, he even consciously or unconsciously tried to create a glorious image of himself within his sphere of influence, so that he could lead the locals to gradually increase the productivity of agriculture. But in this era when going out is basically by walking, and communication is basically by roaring. Could it be that how did the Jurchens between the white mountains and black waters know about the leader of the secret society?

Kang Ning thought about it again and again, and finally pointed the object of suspicion at Wang Sen and his son. The reason why Wang Haoxian was able to contact the next family so quickly shows that they have been in contact for a long time. Even if they may have been dealing with each other more on an equal footing in the past, it is not impossible for one of them to take in amicably when one of them loses power.

In this way, Du Du, the owner of the Zhenghong Banner, is likely to take the initiative to ask about Xu Hongru.

Thinking of this, Corning couldn't help but become more worried. Regardless of whether Wang Haoxian defected to Du Du in the past, the latter must have enough channels to understand what happened inside the Ming Dynasty, especially in Shandong.

The tentacles have reached the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming court, especially Shi Ziming, the political envoy of Shandong, is very likely to know nothing about this.

Corning is not sure now, what kind of channels do they have to tell them?

What worries him even more is that since Du Du, the owner of the Zhenghong Banner, was able to learn about the internal affairs of Shandong before he wanted to defect to him, it means that he has sent a sufficient number of capable spies to the Shandong region. So how much more do they get about themselves? This seems to be the thing he should be most concerned about.

It seems that after the matter here is over, he needs to take a boat back to Shandong to pay attention to the counter-espionage work in his hometown.

However, Li Chunfang was still standing in front of him, and he had to settle the matter of the peace talks first, so that he could leave for a short time without any worries.

"In this way, General Tokugawa Ieyasu is indeed not our real enemy." Kang Ning's statement made Li Chunfang ecstatic, but it made Yan Siqi beside him puzzled.

His puzzled expression naturally did not escape Kang Ning's observation, but Kang Ning did not immediately give an explanation, but continued to say to Li Chunfang: "Please go back and report to General Tokugawa Ieyasu." The shelling incident was a complete misunderstanding. ”

When Yan Siqi heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Kang Ning in surprise, although the two sides who had just finished the warring state, although there was a contract in front, but that contract, for both of them, was just a delaying tactic, no matter which side was the first to tear it up, it was expected by the other party.

All the two sides need is enough time to prepare for the next dispute, and what they can compete with is only who has less time to prepare.

Obviously, this time, Corning struck first. When his fleet appeared in Tokyo Bay, it meant that Tokugawa Ieyasu had lost his first hand.

Li Chunfang is not a stupid person, although Kangning said that this incident was a pure misunderstanding, but he also knew that it was absolutely impossible for the other party to go back empty-handed, and if he did not get enough compensation from Tokugawa Ieyasu, then this misunderstanding would continue to be misunderstood, no matter how it was clarified, it would be useless.

So he immediately said, "Shogun Tokugawa has the same opinion as you, so his army did not put up any resistance. ”

Yan Siqi couldn't help but sneer, he was not sure that he would retreat after resisting.

But I heard Li Chunfang continue: "Now, the misunderstanding has been clarified. On behalf of General Tokugawa Ieyasu, I would like to invite you to come ashore. As for your brothers, don't worry, General Tokugawa Ieyasu has prepared enough meat and wine to treat them. ”

Kang Ning and Yan Siqi exchanged glances, and quickly made a decision that none of them would go to this Hongmen banquet.

"Although Edo Castle is good, the owner of the ship and I have long received an order from my lord that neither of us should go ashore unless the merciful Tokugawa Ieyasu provides an anchorage for our fleet, such as Tachibana County, which we passed by a few days ago."

Li Chunfang knew that this was a condition offered by the other party. But he is just an errand runner, and he has no power in his hands to agree to the other party's conditions. Not to mention that he doesn't know where this place is, even if he knows, this kind of thing involving land cession must not be easily agreed, otherwise after he goes back, he will definitely not be able to explain.

So he could only play Tai Chi and replied: "Mr. Kang, I just defected to General Tokugawa Ieyasu, the time is not long, and I have never read too much trust, such a major matter, His Excellency the General will not allow me to be a good person, so I can only pass your words to His Excellency the General in their original form." ”

Corning knew that he would answer like this, so he simply waved his hand and said to him: "Then you should go back and convey to him quickly, I hope to meet him on this boat in the shortest possible time." ”

Hearing this, Li Chunfang's surprised face could no longer be concealed. Just now, he also sent an invitation to the other party, but he didn't expect that in an instant, the other party invited them to participate in the Hongmen banquet in turn.

Anyway, such talks aimed at peace are best in a neutral place, but the two sides do not have allies that they can trust, and even if they do, Corning is not prepared to go there in person. Now that he had learned that Du Du, the ambitious Zhenghongqi Banner Master, intended to extend his tentacles to this string of island countries, he naturally had to act carefully, so as not to suffer losses in the dark and clear of the enemy.

So, I had to invite two generations of shoguns to board his ship together for an unprecedented meeting.

Just as Li Chunfang was about to turn around and leave, he didn't forget to give a special advice: "Don't forget to invite General Tokugawa Hidetada with you, I will prepare a sumptuous banquet for them to welcome them and wash the dust." ”

Li Chunfang walked out of the cabin in a daze, changed into his own boat, and slowly returned to Edo Castle.

When Kang Ning's boat gradually moved away, Li Chunfang muttered to himself: "I haven't seen a few guests who have come to the door of people's homes and have to pick up the wind and wash the dust for the host, this guy named Kang Ning is too bullying." ”

Besides, the strength of General Tokugawa Ieyasu is not weak. Even without the help of that ally, even in the previous war, he was rude enough for the daimyo who refused to submit to him that the daimyo who refused to submit to him seemed to see an opportunity to overthrow him. But there are still many daimyo who are loyal to him, and it is not as easy as it seems to easily defeat Tokugawa Ieyasu.

After Li Chunfang landed on the shore, he went straight to the shogun's mansion, and after meeting Tokugawa Ieyasu, he quickly told Kanning about his conditions.

"No matter what the conditions, I will agree to him first." Tokugawa Ieyasu hadn't even listened to his narration before he had already made a decision.

Li Chunfang raised his head slowly, from the words of General Tokugawa Ieyasu, he was shocked by the other party's arrangement, first agreed to the other party's conditions, that is, to prepare to use the strategy of delaying the army, and then, General Liu Chuan Ieyasu must still have his arrangement, thinking about it, those daimyo who are loyal to him will soon get the news, and there may even be people on the way to the rescue.

Yan Siqi was also aware of this at this moment, but Kang Ning seemed to have made arrangements for him and did not take his worries to heart. (To be continued.) )
