Chapter Seventy-Seven: There Are Successors

Previous Chapter

After listening to Mao Wenlong's words, Chen Jisheng frowned, although he didn't know what the reason was, Chen Jisheng always felt that there was something wrong with it. After a moment of silence, Chen Jisheng said softly: "Dashuai, I'm afraid this matter won't be so simple!" ”

Among his subordinates, Chen Jisheng is the most trusted, hearing his words, Mao Wenlong frowned: "Let's hear it!" ”

"The importance of the DPRK to the Tatars is self-evident, and they will give the DPRK to us? That in itself makes sense! Chen Jisheng looked at Mao Wenlong and said: "Unless they get more benefits than North Korea, but where will the benefits be more than North Korea?" ”

Shang Kexi and Geng Jingzhong glanced at each other, and a gleam flashed in the eyes of the two of them, obviously Chen Jisheng's words opened their minds.

"I feel that if it is to advance south, in the face of Wang Zhichen's men, whether it is to attack Ningyuan or Jinzhou, Huang Taiji will not be able to take advantage. Even if he broke through Jinzhou and Ningyuan regardless of losses, what about Shanhaiguan behind? ”

"There is Jizhen behind Shanhaiguan, and Huang Taiji can't take advantage of it at all, so it's impossible to go south. To the east, he has already conquered Korea, then it can only be to the west, Huang Taiji wants to go west, pursue Lin Dan Khan, unify the Mongolian tribes, this is to be Genghis Khan! ”

Chen Jisheng said as he spoke, his face changed, and he looked up at Mao Wenlong: "Dashuai, I can't promise him this matter!" ”

"Why?" Mao Wenlong looked at Chen Jisheng and said in a deep voice: "If he wants to go west, he will go west, and Lin Danhan dog eats dog, what does it have to do with us, let them lose both." Once we occupy North Korea, there is a lot to be done! ”

"Dashuai, once Huang Taiji occupies the Mongolian steppe and conquers the Mongolian tribes, then the entire grassland will be allowed to Huang Taiji to gallop, and the north of the Ming Dynasty will be tight. Huang Taiji is not in Liaodong, how can the imperial court look at the handsome like now? ”

Geng Jingzhong on the side snorted coldly, and said with a little disdain: "We have North Korea, how can we care about the attitude of the imperial court?" ”

glanced at Geng Jingzhong and smiled slightly, obviously Geng Jingzhong's words said in Mao Wenlong's heart, and now that he was choked by the imperial court, he was a little fed up.

"Besides, we have North Korea, we can attack Shenyang to the west, and there is the Yalu River to defend when we retreat. With our warships and men, it is impossible for Huang Taiji to fight us. When the time comes, Dashuai will become the king of Joseon, and we will be regarded as having achieved a great cause! Geng Jingzhong said with a bit of fanaticism on his face.

Chen Jisheng was just about to say something, when the soldiers outside the hall came in and said, "Marshal, General Kong Youde is asking to see you outside!" ”

"Youde is back?" Mao Wenlong's face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly said, "Please come in quickly!" ”

Kong Youde is also Mao Wenlong's confidant, and unlike Chen Jisheng, Kong Youde has a very good relationship with Shang Kexi Geng Jingzhong, and is known as Shandong Sankuang Disciple. Under Mao Wenlong's hands, the three of them are also the largest force, and they are very keen on smuggling.

After a short time, the sound of footsteps sounded, Kong Youde strode in from the outside, and respectfully saluted Mao Wenlong: "Humble Kong Youde see the handsome!" ”

Mao Wenlong laughed and waved his hand: "No courtesy, can this time be considered smooth?" ”

"Thanks to the big handsome, everything is going well!" Kong Youde nodded, and when he saw that Chen Jisheng and the three of them were there, he couldn't help but say, "The three of them are here, Dashuai, is something wrong?" ”

"Bring a chair to Youde!" Mao Wenlong ordered someone to bring the chair to Kong Youde, and waited until Kong Youde sat down, then he told what had happened, and finally asked, "What do you think about this matter?" ”

Kong Youde glanced at Chen Jisheng and the three of them, pondered for a moment and said: "This matter is promising, but how to do it, you have to think about it!" ”

Mao Wenlong was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "Let's hear it!" ”

"This matter is a good thing, we can promise Huang Taiji, but we can't leave evidence, we can't have paperwork and letters, we can only have a verbal agreement." Kong Youde's eyes shone brightly, and he said: "In this way, we will have more room to turn." ”

"Didn't they say that they would not move for three months? Let's promise them, as for whether it will be at every turn, won't it be what we say when the time comes? If the situation is really critical at that time, let's do it, otherwise we won't move, what is there to say? ”

"If you do it, it's the same as now, there is no loss, and you can still manage the imperial court to pay for the army."

"If it doesn't move, then it depends on whether Huang Taiji wants to hand over North Korea to us, if he doesn't hand it over, it's easy to do, and we have nothing to lose." But Huang Taiji, as the Great Khan, is basically impossible. We can get a way from North Korea, not to mention anything else, just the food and money provided to us, how much is that? ”

Mao Wenlong nodded with satisfaction, very satisfied with Kong Youde's words, and just said what was in his heart.

Chen Jisheng on the side was a little helpless, he was very worried, no matter how you look at this matter, it is weird, will the other party really be led by the nose so easily? Once it is messed up, the two sides will not please you, and the status of Dongjiang will not be guaranteed!

But Chen Jisheng also knew that it was useless for him to say anything now, Mao Wenlong was going to do it in his heart, so he simply didn't speak.

Night soon fell, and Mao Wenlong and the four of them discussed a strategy and let people put the banquet on the table, which was naturally enjoyable.

At three o'clock, Fan Wencheng sat on a chair, closed his eyes and recuperated, and suddenly there were three knocks at the door, and Fan Wencheng slowly opened his eyes. Walking to the door, the door opened behind him, and a man in a nightsuit walked in in a flash.

After glancing outside, and seeing that there was nothing abnormal, Fan Wencheng closed the door.

Turning around, Fan Wencheng looked at the man in black with a serious expression, and said with a dark face: "Didn't you say that your identity must be kept secret?" How can you be so careless? You want to see me at this time, what is the matter? ”

The man in black took off the masked scarf, revealing the face of a man in his thirties, seeing Fan Wencheng's appearance, the man smiled slightly: "I want to see you, of course I have something important to talk to you, this matter is too important, I need to discuss it with you!" ”

"Tell me about it!" Fan Wencheng was stunned for a moment, his expression eased slightly, and he also knew that the other party was not a mess.

"I want to persuade someone to surrender, once he surrenders, it will be very beneficial to us!" The man in black sat on a chair and said in a deep voice: "We even have a chance to take down the Dongjiang River, or control the people here." ”

Fan Wencheng was stunned, such an important person would be persuaded to surrender so easily? Fan Wencheng looked at the other party, waiting for the other party to give him an answer.

"This person's name is Liu Xingzhi, I don't know if you have any impression!" The man in black opened his mouth and said: "Now he is the partial general of Dongjiang, but he and his people are not Mao Wenlong's henchmen, and they are very excluded. On Denglai's side, there are also people who want to get rid of him, and his situation is very bad. ”

Liu Xingzhi? Fan Wencheng raised his eyebrows, this name was really familiar, but he couldn't remember it, and couldn't help but raise his head to look at the man in black.

"Speaking of General Liu Xingzhi, you may not be familiar with it, but speaking of his brother, I think you will not be unfamiliar with it, his name is Liu Xingzuo, also called Liu Aita!" The man in black looked at Fan Wencheng and said in a soft but very low tone.

"What did you say?" Fan Wencheng stood up, stared at the man in black, shook his head directly and said, "No, you must not be involved with Liu Xingzuo." ”

Liu Xingzuo, the famous Liu Aita, this Fan Wencheng knows, and at the same time he also knows the entanglement between Liu Aita and Huang Taiji, and even Nurhachi. Nurhachi regarded Liu Aita as his son-in-law, and Huang Taiji also regarded him very seriously, but he understood it.

By Huang Taiji's side, Liu Aita has always been a taboo name, and Fan Wencheng doesn't want to have anything to do with him. Author's note: Liu Aita was a famous patriotic general in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, who died on the battlefield and was loyal to the country, a model of the Han people, and a manifestation of national integrity.

The man in black glanced at Fan Wencheng, shook his head and said, "I didn't say that I wanted to contact Liu Aita, but I wanted to contact Liu Xingzhi." During this period of time, whether it is Liu Aita or Liu Xingzhi, they are all depressed here, and we will persuade Liu Xingzhi to surrender, but it is a great achievement. If Liu Xingzhi can persuade Liu Aita to surrender, then the credit will be great. ”

Glancing at the man in black, a touch of mockery flashed on Fan Wencheng's face: "Who do you think you are?" ”

The man in black was stunned, he didn't expect Fan Wencheng to speak like this, and he reacted for a while.

"How is Xian Khan to Liu Aita? He actually cheated to death and returned to the light, which is not something you can persuade to surrender at all. Our identity in Dongjiang is confidential, and once the news is leaked, Mao Wenlong will directly prove his innocence to the Ming Court. ”

"Tell you, be careful, don't lose your head, your life is not your own!"

Seeing Fan Wencheng's serious face, his tone was full of murderous aura, and the man in black hurriedly said: "Okay, I listen to you, I listen to you, okay?" ”

Seeing the other party's appearance, Fan Wencheng softened his tone and said: "Now that the plan has just begun, you must not make mistakes there, you are very important in the overall plan, you must ensure your own safety." ”

"Don't worry!" The man in black waved his hand indifferently: "You are not on this island, you don't know at all, there are everyone here." Bandits, smugglers, Koreans, Japanese bandits, and all kinds of spies, as long as they don't make trouble here, nothing will happen. ”

"Be careful!" Fan Wencheng nodded: "You go back!" Don't touch the Liu brothers, understand? ”

The man in black nodded, put on the mask on his face, pushed open the door of Fan Wencheng's room, and walked out directly.

Fan Wencheng stood at the door, looking at the moon in mid-air, and sighed in his heart, now he can only do his best to obey the destiny of heaven. This time, success leads to fame, and defeat leads to death. After a while, everything turned into a sigh, and Fan Wencheng turned around and walked into the house.

At this time, in Shenyang City, Huang Taiji also stood at the door looking at the moon, his eyes were sharp, and he had no intention of sleeping.

A big coat was gently draped on Huang Taiji's body, and a woman's voice sounded behind him: "What's wrong?" Can't sleep? Still thinking about the daytime? It's not that they have been prepared for a long time, and they don't agree so easily! ”

"That Ben Khan didn't expect them to be so opposed!" Huang Taiji reached out and grabbed the woman's hand and said softly.

In Huang Taiji's harem, there are many women, and the most favored one is, of course, Hai Lanzhu, but the one who can help on weekdays is naturally Da Yuer. Once something goes wrong, Huang Taiji will come to Da Yu'er, hoping that this woman full of wisdom can help him.

"Things are too risky, of course they will object, the current Dajin Kingdom is not the time for the thirteen pairs of armor of the first khan to raise troops!" Da Yu'er smiled slightly and said softly.

Huang Taiji nodded: "That day, Ning Wan and I said a word to me about the Han people, born in sorrow and died in peace, I still didn't understand it at the time, but now Ben Khan understands." At the beginning, the thirteen pairs of armor of my father Khan raised troops and attacked the city, which led to today's Dajin Kingdom. At that time, if you don't fight, you will die, and if you don't fight, you will die, and only by working hard can you have a way to live. ”

"Now you don't have to face life and death, everyone is comfortable!" Huang Taiji said with a serious expression: "They can be comfortable, they can slack off, but Ben Khan can't, Ben Khan wants to bring the Dajin Kingdom to its peak and become a real great power." ”

Looking at Huang Taiji's high-spirited appearance, Da Yu'er smiled slightly: "The great Han is eloquent and strategic, and it can naturally be realized." ”

Huang Taiji shook Da Yu'er's hand and said with a smile: "Save you and comfort people, but this time you have to solve the Dongjiang River if you say anything, if the Dongjiang River is not removed, there is no hope for Ben Khan to advance westward, and if he can't go west, Dajin will have no room to turn around." ”

"Ben Khan listened to what I said, once Ben Khan successfully marched westward, Ben Khan will become a great Khan like Genghis Khan, controlling the vast grassland, and then Ben Khan can confront the Ming Dynasty, maybe when he will be able to enter the Central Plains, like your ancestors!" Huang Taiji's eyes flickered, and his voice said with a little excitement.

"Okay, it's cold, let's go to sleep first!" Da Yu'er pulled Huang Taiji's arm: "If you don't sleep, you won't have the energy to deal with those people tomorrow." ”

In Beijing, although it is late at night, the palace is still brightly lit. Emperor Chongzhen, who should have fallen asleep a long time ago, was pacing back and forth at this moment, looking anxious, looking up from time to time.

Empress Zhou's painful screams made Emperor Chongzhen raise his heart to his throat.

Wang Chengen ran there before and after Zhang Luo, and his anxious voice would be heard from time to time.

At this moment, it is the day when Empress Zhou gives birth, and Emperor Chongzhen is going to be a father. Being a man for two lives, being a father for the first time, Emperor Chongzhen's mood is very complicated. Especially listening to the cry of Empress Zhou inside, Emperor Chongzhen was worried.

"Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor, he is a prince, and there is a successor to the Ming Dynasty!" Wang Chengen ran out of it with a rolling belt, knelt on the ground, and shouted loudly.
