In Yu Guozhen's view, Li Zicheng is only half a hero. But even if it's just half a hero, he won't send people all the way, just say hello to Yu Guozhen.

What's more, there is Li Yan, too.

Although Xinxiang's intelligence system detected this person, no one knew that he would leave many mysteries in history, so he was treated as the rest of the people who came to Xinxiang and left disappointed, for example, that Zhou Zhong, who stayed in Xinxiang for a year and a half, finally went north to participate in the scientific expedition.

It wasn't until Li Guo and Li Mou, as Li Zicheng's messengers, were brought from Jinling by the Flying Falcon and found the head of Guiquanzi that Guiquanzi was shocked to realize that after Li Yan was disappointed in Xinxiang, he actually went to vote for Li Zicheng. He mentioned this matter to Yu Guozhen again, although Yu Guozhen's interest in collecting historical celebrities was not as good as before, but he also had some regrets.

Li Yan has a certain strategic vision, and he is much better than an ordinary rogue, if he stays in Xinxiang and trains for a few years, he can be on his own, and it is not impossible to become the governor of a place.

"My king sent us here, in addition to greeting Nanhaibo, I also want to do a business with Nanhaibo." Li Guo said respectfully: "Now in the Central Plains and Longxi, there are locust droughts for many years, the people are not happy, the court does not care, only knows that the donations are forced to pay taxes, and the king of Chuang can't bear the people's charcoal, and wants to find Nanhai Bo to buy a batch of grain. Even if it's just cooking porridge to help the people, it's always good to live more. ”

When Yu Guozhen learned that Li Zicheng had sent someone to find him to make a deal, his first thought was that Li Zicheng wanted to buy weapons from him.

The name of Xinxiang weapons is known today. Even Jianyu turned around the bush and sought to buy new weapons on a small scale. However, Jianyu knew that they could not buy it in Xinxiang, so their method was to find the Ming officers and soldiers to buy it at double the price. For example, for a Huwei B type musket, Xinxiang sold it to the imperial court for ten taels of silver, while Jianyu gave twenty taels of silver.

After this discovery was reported back to Xinxiang by Gao Erzhu's intelligence investigators, there was a debate within Xinxiang about whether to stop trading arms with the Ming court, but this debate ended with the advent of rifled guns with longer range and higher accuracy - the Tiger Guard C musket was about to be eliminated. What's more, it's Hu Weiyi?

But he never thought that Li Zicheng actually sent Li over to buy food!

Yu Guozhen was stunned for a moment, then raised his eyebrows: "Let's not say whether I will sell the grain to King Chuang." Even if I am willing to sell, can King Chuang afford to pay, even if he can afford to pay. How will this grain be delivered? ”

"King Chuang is ready to lead his army eastward and approach Fengyang, so he will naturally deliver grain in the area of Xu'zhou. Please rest assured that the army of the king will never enter the east of Shan'dong and southern Anhui, which is Nanzhili, and only a city in Xu'zhou, which is also to facilitate the Nanhai Bo fleet to transport grain along the canal. Li Guo smiled: "As for money, King Chuang said that Nanhai Bo cares about the people." The price of grain will not be too expensive, although our army is relatively poor, we can buy some grain by smashing pots and selling iron, and we can save one more people. Save one more! ”

"If you can save one more people, you will save one more!"

Yu Guozhen repeated the sentence, and then laughed.

Li Zicheng really has the guidance of a master by his side, no wonder he has acted differently in the past two years, there has been less looting, and more people running places.

He can be regarded as seeing Yu Guozhen's weakness.

Although it is said that Ci is not in charge of the army. That means that you must not be merciful in the enforcement of military law and military law, but if you can still be indifferent to innocent people...... Yu Guozhen's struggle in this era will not really be for the rise of Huaxia, but only for his personal ambitions.

The rise of China should be the rise of every Chinese son, not just the rise of a handful of people. The road to the rejuvenation of a great country should be to let every Chinese son and daughter have a way to go, rather than the road to wealth and prosperity for a small group of people. Even if some people must be sacrificed, it should be a voluntary sacrifice, not a sacrifice.

This is Yu Guozhen's weakness, but it is also Yu Guozhen's strongest point, it is precisely because of his weakness that he did not immediately lead his troops north to drive Chongzhen off the emperor's throne - this is happy, but it can only create more chaos in China. It is precisely because he has this strongest point that the people who come to Xinxiang, no matter what work they are engaged in, can use twelve points of energy to work hard in the direction he pointed out.

Xinxiang's ability to complete the accumulation of technology in such a short period of time that would have taken decades in history depends on the hard work of these people.

"How can I believe that when King Chuang gets food, it will be used to help the people, instead of being used as military rations?"

"King Chuang will definitely use some of it as military rations, but it can be guaranteed that no less than half will be used to feed the people." Li Yan explained these questions when he came, so Li Guo replied quickly: "King Chuang knows that he can't win the trust of Nanhaibo, so he let me and Li Mu hostage, if Nanhaibo finds out that there is something untrue, just kill the two of us." ”

This is another condition that surprised Yu Guozhen, Yu Guozhen looked at the calm Li Guo, and then looked at Li Mu with a calm face, and had to admit that Li Zicheng was able to do something to overthrow Chongzhen in the original history, and his heart was indeed outstanding.

Even if this is Li Yan's guidance, it is not trivial for Li Zicheng to agree.

He didn't rush to agree, but lightly clasped the table with his fingers. He hadn't figured out what Li Zicheng and Li Yan's plans were, so although he was inclined to make this deal with Li Zicheng, he had to think about it carefully.

Just as he hesitated, Hua Youzhi knocked on the door, then walked in with a strange look on his face and handed over a letter.

"Ah......h

Yu Guozhen glanced at the letter, beautiful font, but the signature made his eyes flash.

"The regent of the Great Qing Dynasty, Prince Rui, Dolgon."

It turned out to be a letter from Dolgon!

This is strange, first Li Zicheng sent an envoy, and then Dolgon sent him a letter, plus a few days ago to the Qin envoy Fan Xian, who went to Qin' Prefecture again, if Zhang Xianzhong sent someone again, then these envoys can make up a table to play cards.

Yu Guozhen smiled at Li Guo and said: "It's very hard for the two of you to come from afar, arrange for the two of you to rest first, and as for the matter of breaking the king, we will discuss it later......"

"Nanhai Bo, there are still a few words below, which were ordered by King Chuang and General Li Yan." Li Guo was about to send himself away when he heard this, he was worried that Yu Guozhen would use the technique of delaying, so he opened his mouth and opened his hole card: "King Chuang knows that Nanhaibo needs population, and King Chuang can send the hungry people to Xuzhou and ask Nanhaibo to transport them back to the south for resettlement." ”

"I know the sincerity of King Chuang, let me consult with a few gentlemen." Yu Guozhen said.

Li Guo could only bow and retreat, and after they left, Yu Guozhen asked Hua Youzhi: "Where did this letter come from?" ”

"It was transferred by the Korean State by Jianyu, and it has just been transferred from Tamna."

"The veteran didn't write to express his opinion, probably because he was a little confused." Yu Guozhen opened the letter, and the envelope had already been opened, proving that the security personnel had already tried that it was non-toxic, so he dared to open the letter like this.

Dolgon's letter was quite friendly, saying that he had met in the east of the mountain three years earlier, and that he had not dared to look at each other since then, but because he belonged to an enemy country, he did not greet him. Now that the old days were far away, the two sides should look forward, so Dolgon said that he was willing to negotiate with Sinxiang about the division of Korea into two, and there was also a suggestion that Xinxiang's goods be allowed to be re-exported from Korea to the Qing Dynasty.

"Dolgon's guy is more difficult to deal with than Li Zicheng, unless Li Zicheng completely listens to Li Yan's advice, Li Zicheng is not his opponent." Yu Guozhen thought silently: "This guy sent a letter, could it be that he smelled something, or rather, Dolgon and Li Zicheng felt that they had been dormant for a year and had lost their original sharpness?" ”

Yu Guozhen has been dormant in Xinxiang for more than a year, since Chongzhen defeated the Dutch and Zheng family coalition forces in the thirteenth year, and included the entire East China Sea and the South China Sea under the Xinxiang system, Xinxiang has not made a major move in the past year or nearly two years. Although there are also small groups of battles with foreign enemies, on the whole, the past two years have been the most stable two years since Yu Guozhen began his plan.

"Please Mr. Mao, Mr. Xiao Song, please Tian Boguang, Gu Jiaming, Wang Haoran ......"

Yu Guozhen clicked a series of names, including Wang Haoran. When Wang Haoran was found, he had just conducted a war game with several partners who were also staff officers in the staff room, because of excitement, his forehead was covered with fine sweat, and after hearing the call, he hurriedly wiped his face, and then rushed to Yu Guozhen's office.

He didn't want to stay in the research institute, but aspired to join the army, originally Yu Guozhen thought he was just talking, what he didn't expect was that the son-in-law of the Zhu family in the Ming Dynasty really had a ruthless spirit, although he was older, slightly inferior in physical fitness, but he still insisted on completing the basic training of the tiger guard, and made meritorious contributions in the war of the Wa Kingdom and Luzon, and last year he defeated the coalition army of several indigenous sultans in Faxian City, so that he was recalled for merit and entered the staff room.

And Wang Haoran's change of identity is also extremely natural, he used to have half of Yu Guozhen's friendship, but now, he is a relatively simple subordinate.

He was the first to arrive, and then Song Xiance, the dwarf, arrived in a hurry, and then Tian Boguang and Gu Jiaming in the military camp. Mao Yuanyi arrived last, but everyone was considerate of him and knew that his legs and feet were not very good.

"It's been a long time since I've held a military meeting like this, so I think everyone must forget about it." Yu Guozhen looked at the crowd in the hall, as the number of talents in his hands increased, and the number of people participating in the meeting increased, the small conference room in his office was already a little crowded. He handed over Dolgon's letter to everyone for circulation, and in the process of circulation, he talked about the people sent by Li Zicheng and the fact that Fan Xian came to Xinxiang as an envoy of the imperial court. At the end, he smiled and said: "It seems that something big is going to happen, after all, we are far away, not as strong as the smell smelled by the emperor and Li Chuang, Dolgon and others, everyone come to discuss it, see what is most likely to happen, what is the intention of Li Chuang and Dolgon, and what kind of response we should make." ”

After he finished speaking, even Song Xiance, who was the most anxious, did not rush to speak, everyone was silent and thoughtful, and for a while, the conference room was extremely quiet. (To be continued)
