(PS: I wish all friends a happy Dragon Boat Festival.) ）

As expected by Lu Daxian Ling, on the night of the meeting with Lu Daxian Ling, Shang Lao Hanjian did have insomnia, and the reason for his insomnia happened to be the letter of introduction that Kong Sizhen specially wrote to Lu Daxian Ling. Originally, this letter was just a letter written by Kong Sizhen knowing that Shang Lao Han Jian and Wu Sangui knew about the bad relationship, and was worried that Shang Lao Han Jian would not accept Lu Da County's order, so he wrote a letter casually, and the letter was only a hypocritical greeting to Shang Lao Han Jian, and there was also a hope that Shang Lao Han Jian could meet with the book holder, and did not mention the issue of withdrawing the feudal domain in half a word, let alone force the surname to require Shang Lao Han to adopt Lu Da County's opinion.

If Lu Daxian Ling took out this letter early and explained Kong Sizhen's meaning, Shang Lao Han Jian would definitely not have any extra ideas, and the great thing is to spend a little money to set up a banquet to entertain Lu Daxian Ling, the scourge of the Qing Dynasty, and it will give Kong Sizhen face. But Lu Daxian ordered this bad breed not to do this, but he first said the strategy of slowly withdrawing the feudal domain, and then mysteriously took out Kong Sizhen's letter, and he didn't say what Kong Sizhen meant--In this way, if it were you, can you not doubt Kong Sizhen's true intentions?

"Oh, what a trouble." After reading Kong Sizhen's letter of introduction for the sixth time, the old man with bloodshot eyes lay back on the sleeping chair and muttered: "What does Sigege's letter mean?" Did she want to hint to me that I should adopt this strategy of slowly withdrawing the feudal domain, asking for more salaries from the imperial court every year to settle the sergeants, and then when the time is right, she will submit a request for the withdrawal of the feudal domain? If this is really the meaning of Kong Sizhen's little scratcher, then in other words, the person behind her also means this. ”

"Lord, lord, the little golden light knocks on the prince." The voice of the golden light interrupted Shang Laohan's muttering, and asked with concern: "Lord Wang, look at your dark circles, you didn't rest well last night?" ”

"How is it possible to rest well?" Shang Lao Han waved his hand to make Jin Guang stand up, sighed and said: "Worried, you said that Kong Sizhen, this little bitch is really good at tricking people, if she has anything to say to the old man, just say no, why do you want to play this dumb riddle, so that the old man will have a headache to death." ”

"What the prince said is that Sigege is indeed too incomprehensible this time." Jin Guang flatteringly agreed: "She knew that you and Wu Sangui's old thing would not deal with each other for the rest of her life, so she wrote such a letter and handed it to Wu Sangui's old thing's dog leg to send it, and said those strange words, which was simply deliberately making people guess the riddle." ”

"Master Jin, do you think this is what the emperor meant?" Shang Lao Han Jian asked: "Could it be that the emperor made the decision to use this strategy to withdraw the feudal domain, but he was afraid of falling into the infamy of hiding the bow of the bird and the dead rabbit and cooking the dog, so he used this tactful method, through the hand of Kong Sizhen, and through the hand of the fat man of Lu, to send this strategy of withdrawing the feudal domain to the hands of this king?" Implying that this king is acting according to the law? ”

"It's possible." Jin Guang nodded, and said gloomily: "But Lord Wang, students always feel a little strange about this matter, if Si Gege and the emperor behind her really plan to use this method to withdraw the domain, why don't you say it directly to the prince, or directly to the prince, why do you want to tell you through a seven-pin county order, or a seven-pin county order of the western election official?" ”

"Yes, this king is also strange about this." Shang Lao Han said in a deep voice: "Originally, the above table asked the imperial court to increase the salary of the Guangdong army, so that the soldiers can save a little savings year by year, which is beneficial to the king and the king's army, and the king can accept it, and he can also give it a try - after all, no one can say whether the feudal domain can be successfully withdrawn in a few years, and it is better to get a little benefit first. But this king just didn't understand Kong, why Sizhen asked a western election official to imply that this king did this, so this king didn't dare to make up his mind. ”

"Lord Wang, could this be a trick of Wu Sangui's old thing?" Jin Guang's voice became more and more gloomy, and he said slowly: "Since the beginning of this year, the imperial court has significantly accelerated the pace of weakening Wu Sangui's strength, and Wang Xu, the household servant, impeached Wu Sangui for his huge military expenditure. Lord Wang, if you ask for a salary increase at this time, you will do Wu Sangui a great favor - after all, the imperial court can't be too partial to the issue of the three feudatories, right? ”

"I want Lao Tzu to help Wu Sangui's old thing, unless the sun comes out of the west!" Shang Lao Han was furious, and roared: "If this is really the ghost of Wu Sangui's old thing, then Lao Tzu will immediately go to the table to ask for a salary cut, disgusting this old dog!" ”

"That's right." Jin Guang nodded and agreed: "In addition to disgusting Wu Sangui's old thing, there is also to let the emperor and the court know the loyalty of the prince, so as not to let the emperor and the court suspect that the three feudatories have secretly connected and secretly formed an alliance against the imperial court, which will attract the suspicion and vigilance of the emperor and the imperial court against the prince." ”

"But how do you explain this letter from Kong Sizhen's little bitch?" Shang Lao Han grabbed Kong Sizhen's letter, fell to the ground angrily, and scolded: "Damn, this stinky bitch, even if you make it clear in the letter, why do you want Lao Tzu to guess this dumb riddle?" In case Lao Tzu guessed wrong, and the emperor and the court really planned to adopt this strategy of slowly withdrawing the feudal domain, then Lao Tzu would really not be a human being inside and out! Stinky bitch, the next time we meet, I'm going to fuck you in bed! ”

Jin Guang made a bitter face, and he really couldn't understand why Kong Sizhen gave Shang Lao Han Zhan this letter - of course, if Jin Guang and Shang Lao Han Zhan knew that Kong Sizhen's letter was actually just a very ordinary letter of introduction, then they would definitely join forces to strangle Lu Daxian Ling's bad seed to death! After pondering for a long time, Jin Guang asked tentatively: "Lord Wang, anyway, Guangzhou is not too far from Guilin, why don't we send someone to ask Sigege to see what she means?" ”

"Where is the king's face going?" Shang Lao Han stretched his face and snorted: "She Lao Tzu Kong Youde and this king are brothers, she is Lao Tzu's niece, and now she is playing dumb riddles with Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu can't guess and has to beg her, so as not to let others laugh off their big teeth?" Besides, can this kind of thing be asked? If you ask clearly, does this king still have room to maneuver? It's better to just play dumb riddles like this, it's really not good, this king can still pretend to be confused. ”

Shang Lao Han Jian's words are very true, although he is indeed loyal to the Manchu court and Kang Xiaomazi, it does not mean that he is willing to give up his status as a vassal king so easily, let alone give up the political, economic and military power in Guangdong that he controls with one hand, as well as the glory, wealth and money brought by these powers! In this case, of course, Shang Lao Han Zhan did not dare to ask Kong Sizhen this question directly - if the question was clear, it was proved that Kang Xiaomazi behind Kong Sizhen was indeed preparing to withdraw the domain, then Shang Lao Han Zhan had to give up the status and power of the vassal king if he obeyed the order, and if he did not listen to the order, he would be unwilling to withdraw the domain, and it would be proved that he had different ambitions and was not a person inside and out. It's better to hide it like this, at least there is room to pretend to be confused - in this way, it will naturally be cheaper for our Lu Daxian order.

"What the prince is very worried about is that if this matter is asked clearly, it proves that it is indeed the emperor and the court who have made up their minds to withdraw the feudal domain, then the prince will be completely passive." Jin Guang frowned, admitting that the old man was extremely worried. After thinking carefully for a long time, Jin Guang asked tentatively: "Lord Wang, since this is the case, can we do this?" ”

"What to do? Say. Shang Lao Han sat up and sat up straight.

"Since this strategy of slowly withdrawing the feudal domain was proposed by the envoy sent by Wu Sangui, why don't we kick this ball back to Wu Sangui's side?" Jin Guangyin said: "The prince can reply to the Lu Yifeng sent by Wu Sangui in this way, and ask him to tell Wu Sangui that as long as Wu Sangui is determined to adopt this strategy of withdrawing the feudal domain, then the prince can fully support it - but the condition is that this strategy must be negotiated by Wu Sangui and the imperial court first, no matter how Wu Sangui talks with the imperial court, you can follow suit according to the law." ”

"That's a good idea." Shang Lao Han groaned, and only after a while did he say: "But what if Wu Sangui, that old thing, takes the wrong medicine and really reaches this strategy of withdrawing the feudal domain with the imperial court?" Won't I have to withdraw with him then? Wu Sangui's Yunnan is a notoriously poor place, and it's a pity that I can't go there if I lose it, Lao Tzu's Guangdong is a good place to be rich compared with Yunnan and Guizhou. ”

"In the final analysis, you are still reluctant to withdraw the feudal domain!" Jin Guang sneered in his heart, and said flatteringly: "Lord Wang, don't worry, you are reluctant to rich Guangdong, Wu Sangui's old thing may not be willing to give up poor Yunnan and Guizhou like this, we do this, the key is to kick the ball back to Wu Sangui's old thing, let him have a headache for this problem, and at the same time delay time to check the style, so as not to ask for the Canadian military salary to be a bird, and help Wu Sangui in disguise." ”

After that, Jin Guang added with a smile: "Take 10,000 steps back, even if Wu Sangui really reached this strategy of slowly withdrawing the feudal domain with the imperial court, as long as it is not immediately withdrawn, after a long time, there will be many dreams after a long night, whether you can withdraw the feudal domain or not is still two different things, the prince can also take this opportunity to get a little more benefit from the imperial court, right?" ”

Shang Lao Han Zhan's triangular eyes rolled wildly, and after thinking for a long time, Shang Lao Han slapped the table and made up his mind: "Okay, just follow this method, kick the ball back to Wu Sangui's old dog first!" This king is too lazy to see the lackey sent by Wu Sangui, you go to see him and tell him that as long as Wu Sangui agrees to this strategy, then this king also agrees to this strategy, but the precondition must be that Wu Sangui goes to negotiate with the imperial court, no matter what kind of plan for withdrawing the feudal domain is negotiated, Lao Tzu can follow suit according to law! ”

………………

Jin Guang, the dog-headed military division, is indeed an out-and-out bad seed, although more than half of his suggestion to kick the ball back to Wu Sangui was out of helplessness, but it hit the key point of our Lu Daxian Order crookedly! So much so that when he told the old man about the decision to adopt his own suggestion to Lu Daxian Ling, Lu Daxian Ling's fat head suddenly broke out with a sweat!

The purpose of Wu Sangui sending Lu Daxian Commander to Guangzhou was to persuade Shang Lao Han and Wu Sangui to establish an alliance to jointly fight against the Manchu court, and to let Shang Lao Han and his son go to the Qing court to ask for a salary increase, so as to increase the bargaining chips for Wu Sangui's upcoming negotiations with the Manchu court on the issue of military salaries. As a result, Lu Daxian Ling had to return to Yunnan to hand over to Wu Sangui with such a result of joining forces to withdraw the feudal domain, and Wu Sangui had to peel off the fat skin of Lu Daxian Ling?

Of course, it can't be entirely blamed for the incompetence of Lu Daxian Ling, the key is that Kong Sizhen was suddenly inserted in this matter, and the shadow of the Manchu court appeared, and the result was such a result. But it's still the same sentence, no matter how many twists and turns and accidents there are in the middle, how many helplessness and compulsion, if Lu Daxian Ling replies to Wu Sangui with such a result, Wu Sangui still has to peel off Lu Daxian's fat skin! For a while, after all, we really don't know what to do with the Lu Daxian Order, which is still a little tender.

"What to do? What to do? Sending away the golden light that couldn't stop laughing, Lu Daxian Ling, who could still keep quiet just now, returned to the room and grabbed his pigtails and started to worry, lamenting: "It's over, it's self-defeating!" If you take such an answer and reply to Wu Sangui's old Han Jian, then even the teacher can't save me, Wu Sangui's old Han Jian will definitely chop me up and feed the dog, it's nothing to feed the dog - in case Wu Sangui Lao Han Jan makes me into a cloud leg to pay tribute to Kang Xiao Mazi, then I'm not even more miserable? What to do? What to do? ”

"Why don't you run?" Lu Daxian Ling suddenly had such an idea, "Anyway, Guangdong is not too far from Taiwan, so I ran to Taiwan by sea to join Zheng Jing and help Zheng Jing and Chen Yonghua to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty?" ”

Thinking of this, Lu Daxianling's heart was moved, and he said that it was actually not bad to defect to Zheng Jing, at least it was a good reputation for loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty, but I just went over like this, can I be reused in Zheng Jing's Taiwan like Wu Sangui's side? Although I am only a seven-grade county commander on Wu Sangui's side, I have a Liu Xuanchu who is deeply trusted by Wu Sangui as a teacher, and it is much more convenient to do anything, what do I have in Zheng Jing Taiwan? Also, Kong Fanlin's gang of bad breeds was sent by Wu Sangui to monitor my eyeliner, if I ran away to join Zheng Jing, they would ignore it? Besides, what should I do if I run away from the teacher, but I am the person he recommended to Wu Sangui, can he not be implicated?

"My lord, we're back." When he was worried, the three tigers of Guangzhou, who were only included in the command of Lu Daxian at noon, entered the room, and everyone was wearing a set of newly bought new clothes, and thanked Lu Daxian Ling happily: "Thank you for the silver rewarded by your lordship, we have bought new clothes and shoes, and the rent and slate money owed before have also been paid, from now on, our brothers will follow you, my lord, what is the matter with you, just give us orders, the little ones will go up the knife mountain and down the sea of fire, and never frown." ”

"But now I'm also a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and it's hard to protect myself." Lu Daxian Ling sighed in his heart, but at this moment, Lu Daxian Ling looked at the three tigers of Guangzhou who were smiling gratefully, and suddenly his heart moved, and he jumped up and shouted: "You three, do you know the way to Huizhou?" How far away? ”

"Back to my lord, we know that we have also been to Huizhou." Liu Zhen replied quickly: "It's not too far, it's about three hundred and twenty miles away from Guangzhou, and it will take more than two days to get there on horseback, and about four or five days if you walk." ”

"Good." Lu Daxian ordered quickly: "Quick, go and call Xiao Erlang and Kong Fanlin, let them prepare six fast horses, the three of you will lead the way, and we will go to Huizhou immediately." ”

"My lord, it's getting dark." Liu Xu kindly persuaded: "If you don't know if you go before dawn, the road is not easy to walk at night." ”

"No matter how bad it is, you have to go!" Lu Daxian Ling shouted, "If you want to continue to follow me to eat and drink spicy food, take me to Huizhou to find Shang Zhixin immediately, this is your last chance, and my last chance!" ”
