The change of topic is also very fast, Fan Wencheng quickly shifted the topic to the current situation, that day to discuss the formation of the water division, Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi both participated, and also witnessed that scene, but unfortunately Shang Kexi followed Ye Bushu to Lushun to form the Qing Dynasty sailor, otherwise the three of them discussed together, the effect would be better.

"Lord, that time to discuss the construction of the Great Qing Dynasty Naval Division, you also participated, the lower officials think about it now, they are still a little frightened, I don't know what Prince Lu Daoli and Prince Rui will think, as well as Prince Zheng, King Yingwu, these princes and kings are all pivotal figures, and they can't bear to stomp their feet."

When he said these words, Fan Wencheng looked at Geng Zhongming with his spare eyes, he was actually testing Geng Zhongming's attitude.

Geng Zhongming's face, there was no expression, not surprised, not curious, as if he hadn't heard these words, this indifferent attitude, made Fan Wencheng feel cold, this is a typical short-sightedness, just imagine, if Dolgon and Daishan grasp the power, the Han people in the Great Qing Kingdom, will they have a good life.

Geng Zhongming's attitude is also expected by Fan Wencheng, although he took refuge in the Qing Dynasty, but as a Wenchen, he has been highly trusted by Huang Taiji, and his status is naturally a little different, besides, he is also good in terms of knowledge, especially in predicting the situation and figuring out people's hearts, it is even more prominent, in comparison, Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi and others, the situation is different, he was once a general of the Ming Dynasty, and he was also trusted by the imperial court, but he turned around and took refuge in Houjin, this kind of approach, It means that their character is average.

I think so, but there is something strange in this, Fan Wencheng will not break it. Under the current situation, the Han people in the Great Qing Dynasty must be united, at least the Han people in the imperial court need to be united, whether it is a civil servant or a military general, if they don't care about each other, or even old and dead. It is easier to be broken by others.

Therefore, Fan Wencheng needs to remind Geng Zhongming, or ring the alarm bell.

With a sigh, Fan Wencheng continued to speak.

"Lord, you and I, as Han Chinese, are not easy to gain a foothold in the Great Qing Kingdom, although the emperor trusts the lower officials very much, but the lower officials are always cautious. Sometimes, I sleep with one eye open, after all, the Great Qing Kingdom is the Great Qing Kingdom of the Manchus, not the Great Qing Kingdom of our Han people, in this regard, the lower officials don't need to say much, and the prince also understands. ”

"All the powerful and the powerful, among each other. There are all entanglements of interests, no matter which dynasty or generation. There will always be contradictions, this is all the truth, Xia Guan is familiar with history books, and is often awakened by the blood inside. ”

Geng Zhongming's expression has really changed, these truths. He still knows.

"That's what my lord said, I feel that way, too."

Seeing that Geng Zhongming's attitude had eased, a sneer flashed on Fan Wencheng's face.

"Lord Wang, if people have no long-term concerns, they must have near-term worries. You and I also need to think about the future, you and I are both servants of the emperor, everything is for the emperor, look at Kong Youde's family, the lower officials have said several times in front of the emperor, intentionally or unintentionally, the emperor attaches great importance to it, and asks to treat Kong Youde's family well, but unfortunately sometimes, the emperor is also embarrassed, the emperor has decreed, and the people who do things below are all Manchu magnates, and the emperor cannot always pay attention to Kong Youde's family, the emperor still has a lot of things to consider, in this case, what happened to Kong Youde's family, Naturally, it's not much better. ”

Speaking of this, Fan Wencheng shook his head and sighed.

This incident touched Geng Zhongming's mind, if one day, he also sacrificed his life on the battlefield, what should his family do, there must always be a proper settlement.

So he spoke.

"My lord, I also understand, the emperor pities Kong Youde, but some people in the court, not necessarily, speaking of which, I also think the same, although the emperor trusts, but some people are not interested in me, I am clear, but I can't show it, otherwise there will be no good fruit to eat."

"What the prince said is, you and I are loyal to the emperor, but we always have to think about the things behind us, these things, if you don't work hard, I'm afraid no one will think about it."

"What does an adult mean, just say it, I'm a rough person, I can't think of so much, just do what the adult says."

Fan Wencheng's face finally showed a smile.

"Lord, the lower officials said before, the Qing Kingdom formed a water division, the lower officials put forward a proposal, I can't think of offending Prince Li and Prince Rui, this matter, the prince should not underestimate it, although the words were said by the lower officials, Prince Keli and Prince Rui will not count this matter only on the head of the lower officials, the prince also participated in the discussion that day, although he did not speak, how Prince Keli and Prince Rui viewed, the prince should understand."

"This matter, don't say it, the lower officials also know, when Prince Li and Prince Rui left, look at my eyes, I understand, over the years, I have also paid attention, Prince Li and Prince Rui, we Han people are not good, from the bones look down on us, the red flag, the white flag, the red flag and the white flag sergeants are indeed brave, not the Han army can compare, that day after discussing the formation of the water division, in fact, I am also worried."

At this time, Fan Wencheng's expression became serious again, in fact, he knew that after discussing the formation of the water division, Geng Zhongming had sent people to visit Dolgon and Dai Shan, but unfortunately the door was not able to enter, such a confidential matter, Geng Zhongming would definitely not say it, at that time, he was very despised Geng Zhongming, it had reached such a point, what was the use of you sending someone to explain, who were Dai Shan and Dolgon, what people value is interests, how can you believe your explanation of a few words, people already look down on you, Aren't you practicing yourself even more by doing this?

"What the prince said is, such a situation, you and I can't change it, don't say you and me, I'm afraid the emperor can't change it for a while, in this case, you and I have to learn to protect ourselves, but the Great Qing Kingdom is the Great Qing Kingdom of the Manchu magnates, you and I personally have no ability, only by holding together and taking care of each other, it is possible to survive for a long time."

Geng Zhongming nodded.

"What the adults said is very reasonable, our strength is already weak, if we can take care of each other, the situation will definitely be better, but if we do this, what will the emperor think, will he be angry."

"Where did the prince go, you and I are loyal to the emperor, both are slaves of the emperor, how can the emperor have any opinions, you and I are just to protect our own interests, the emperor is a generation of Ming monarchs, how can he not see through the truth here."

"My lord, I said a long time ago, I am a rough person, I don't understand anything, fortunately the adult reminded me, otherwise I really don't know what to do."

"Don't say that, the prince has led troops to fight for a long time, and rarely returns to Shenyang, and when he sees such a thing, he can't think of it for a while, which is also very normal, and the situation in the court, the prince may not fully understand."

"My lord said this, I thought of one thing, my lord is in the court, always by the emperor's side, Shang Kexi and I are different, we are all fighting outside, maybe when, leave Shenyang, go to other places, in this way, we have to ask the adults to take care of it."

"This is natural, where you can speak in front of the emperor, the lower official naturally wants to say it, but if the prince learns any news, he must also communicate it in time, and the lower official knows the situation, so he can make an analysis and be able to do his best."

"There is no problem with this, if I know what the situation is, I will definitely inform the adults in time, in a few days, I will go to Lushun, the emperor said that the matter of transferring the Han army to join the water division will be handled immediately, I will also select a sergeant who is familiar with the water nature, and send it to the water division, after seeing Shang Kexi, I will specifically talk about these things."

"Well, the lower official has a saying, I don't know if I should say it or not."

"My lord, what do you think, even if you just say it, I Geng Zhongming don't dare to say anything else, but who is good to me and who is not good to me, I still know the truth, if I can't understand this, I am ashamed to live in the world."

"Xia Guan didn't mean this, Xia Guan thought of it, the prince was about to go to Lushun, and he was going to the water division with part of the Han army, Xia Guan thought that this selection of sergeants was particularly important, although the prince sent his henchmen to the water division, don't send those soldiers who are not used to seeing it on weekdays."

"What do you say?"

Talking here, seeing Geng Zhongming's insight, Fan Wencheng was a little chilled, if Geng Zhongming couldn't see the situation clearly before, and the meaning of some wall grass could be understood, but such a simple truth could not be understood, that is, there was no long brain.

"Lord Wang, the truth in this is very simple, the emperor attaches great importance to the water division, over time, the water division will be the most important strength of my Great Qing Kingdom, and it will even be stronger than the Eight Banners Army, in this case, the sergeant of the water division is particularly important, if the quality is not good, or it is not able to adapt, what will the emperor think......

Before Fan Wencheng could finish speaking, Geng Zhongming thumped his chest and stood up.

"Don't say it, my lord, I'm really stupid, I can't understand such a simple truth, if we want to gain a foothold in the Great Qing Kingdom, we have to show our strength, the stronger we are, the more stable the foundation......"

"Lord Prudence, these words are not something that can be said casually."

Fan Wencheng said this, Geng Zhongming was even more grateful, he just had a flash of inspiration, thought of this truth, and said it without thinking, I didn't expect Fan Wencheng to remind himself to pay attention, it can be seen that Fan Wencheng is really thinking about himself.
