Chapter 8 Urgency
Chapter 8 Urgency
"Fang Guzi agreed to send troops, what benefits does he want." Hearing this, the spirit of detachment was immediately lifted, and a sickly flush instantly surged up on his pale face, "Promise him, as long as his request is not too excessive, you can agree for the old man first." ā
"He wants to be the provincial Pingzhang of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and after our people bargained with him, in the name of the prime minister, they promised to recommend him as the provincial Zuo Cheng afterwards." Li Hanqing hesitated for a moment and responded with a smile.
In fact, the two sides are still continuing to bargain and have not yet reached any agreement, but in order to motivate Tofu to cheer up, he deliberately advanced the good news, anyway, Fang Guozhen is not too ambitious, as long as the imperial court gives enough benefits, it is not difficult to achieve this strategy of driving the tiger and devouring the wolf.
Sure enough, when he heard that Fang Guozhen only asked for a provincial Zuo Cheng, he was willing to send a sailor to deal with Zhu Butcher, and his spirit immediately improved greatly, and he couldn't wait to order, "Give it to him, no need to bargain anymore, any official position below the provincial prime minister can promise him, if he is willing, after the Zhu thief is exterminated, the old man can even recommend him to be the Pingzhang political affairs of Henan Jiangbei Province, and now the top priority is to finalize his specific date of sending troops." ā
In his opinion, the main problem of the current stalemate in the war lies in the lack of a strong naval division under his command, and if Fang Guozhen is willing to send troops, it will make up for the last shortcomings of the imperial court.
"The news was just sent back this afternoon, and the specific time of the troops still needs to be discussed with Dong Shuxiao's side, after all, Fang Guzi's strength is mainly concentrated on the water, and if he really lands on the shore, he has to rely on Dong's officials and troops." Secretly looking at Toto's face, Li Hanqing quietly left enough way for himself to retreat, "But at the latest, it will be in the middle of next month, as long as Dong Shuxiao's side is ready, he can set sail and anchor." ā
"Well, you're right." Toto's eyes immediately dimmed a lot, smiled, and responded weakly.
The governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces has always been brave and good at fighting, and he is deeply respected, but this person is cunning like a fox, and never does things that are not beneficial to himself.
"According to the detailed report, Sesame Plum is seriously injured and difficult to recover, and it will definitely not survive this summer." Deliberately cheering up Totok, Li Hanqing thought about it and threw out another piece of good news.
"Oh, is the news confirmed?" Tota's eyes lit up again, but they soon became gloomy again.
"Sure." Li Hanqing deliberately pretended to be very exaggerated, dancing with his hands, "Sesame Li was near Suiyang, he was wounded by an arrow, and then because he avoided the flood, he retreated into Mangdang Mountain, and he couldn't find Lang Zhonghe medicinal materials in a hurry, and the wound festered and flowed pus, and now he has been poisoned to attack his heart, even if the medical hall on Zhu Butcher's side is hard, he will not be able to return to heaven." ā
"He's just the nominal co-owner of Zhu Thief and others." Totoku smiled with difficulty, his face full of bitterness, "If it was a few months ago, then Zhao Junyong and Peng Da, with the strength in their hands, can still compete with Zhu Butcher, and now Zhao Junyong and Peng Da and others can't make up 10,000 people together, as soon as Sesame Li dies, Zhu Butcher just takes the position, who has the courage to say any nonsense." ā
"Huaixi Volunteers, Fu Kang Maocai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang Volunteers, Zhu Liangzu, and Jianping Maohulu Soldiers, Wanhu Chen Yexian, have all agreed to send troops to besiege Zhang Shicheng." Li Hanqing was unwilling to watch the decadence of Toku, and continued to find ways to boost his spirit.
"A few of them, how strong are a few of them." In the past two years, under the urgency of the imperial court, a large number of places willing to fight against the red turban thieves have been sealed to be volunteers, and the strength of these ten thousand households is large and small, and the ability is also uneven, and the strong ones such as Chahan Timur can withstand Liu Futong alone, and the weak are just a mountain king, and Zhu Butcher can easily crush to death with his fingers.
Vertical and horizontal is Li Hanqing's director, listen to the question, and immediately report like a few family treasures, "Kang Mao is the new attached army general, the water war 6 battles are deep in the essence of it, Zhu Liangzu once served in the Xuanrang King Timur did not spend the tent, after the defeat and separated from it, only to escape the Yangtze River to regroup, Chen Ye's ancestors were Mongolians, known for their courage in the township, the three of them combined, even if Zhang Shicheng could not be captured, at least, they could force the latter to take care of themselves, and they were no longer able to deliver food to the Zhu butchers. ā
"Oh." Totoku smiled and nodded with satisfaction, but soon, his face became gloomy again, "It's too slow, it's still too slow, the old man originally planned to force all the millions of victims to Zhu Butcher's side, and then slowly figure it out, but unfortunately the court is unwilling to give the old man more time." ā
"Tell you to be on the side of the Qingjun and you refuse, who is to blame," Li Hanqing muttered quietly in his heart, and then smiled and said, "The prime minister might as well let someone go to the door of the second queen, as far as Xiao Si knows, the Goryeo queen has always been favored by His Majesty, and having her explain a few words to the prime minister in the harem must make the emperor feel a lot more relieved." ā
"She, the daughter of a Goryeo untouchable, has no qualifications to dictate the government." When Totoh heard this, he immediately pouted disdainfully, if he took the path of the eldest queen Boyan Hudu, Totoku might still be able to consider one or two, at least this woman is an authentic Mongolian nobleman, and it is not a grievance to give her a gift, and the second queen Qi, if she hadn't been lucky enough to give birth to a son, if the mother was expensive by virtue of her son, she would have been kicked out of the palace a long time ago, why let the Mongolian heroes bend their waists to her.
Li Hanqing thought about it for a while, and continued to mention yƬ in a tactful way, "She used to support the two brothers Hama and Xuexue, mainly to win over the two to support her son Aiyou Zhilitra, but Hama, regardless of prestige or connections, after all, is far away from you, the prime minister, and now the eldest queen's son Xueshan is getting older, and is known as a smart and virtuous person, if the prime minister is willing to give Aiyou Zhilitra some pointers, Qi's will definitely be grateful." ā
As a courtier, it is not a shame to express support for Aiyu Zhilitra, who was just crowned the crown prince in June, at least it is much more justifiable than taking the initiative to show goodwill to the Goryeo Qi clan, immediately, Totoku nodded lightly, sighed and said, "Okay, how to get it, you can do it in the name of the old man, the old man can even spare his life, why care about a little false name." ā
"Yes, Xiao Si will arrange it." Li Hanqing was overjoyed and smiled and bowed his hand.
"It's still far water." Totoh also smiled and shook his head slightly, "Whether it can be effective, I have to say two things, so let's do it, you write a letter to Zhu Butcher in the name of the old man, and ask him to meet the old man again on the Yellow River, just say, just say that the old man wants to discuss with him and let the canal be reopened." ā
"This?" Li Hanqing was slightly stunned, and hesitated to remind, "The last time I went with him to change ships, he has been used by him, and after the opening of navigation, there must be some short-sighted people who have purchased from Huaiyang again."
"If you are told to write, you will write." Tokhtar glanced at him and waved his hand impatiently, "The old man has his own opinion, even if the canal is not navigable, on the Yellow River, there are countless boats secretly running to the Zhu butcher's side every day to sell things, rather than letting those profiteers evade taxes, it is better to let them go to the Zhu butcher's side to do business generously, at least, the checkpoint set up by the imperial court on the canal, and they can collect some money to come back." ā
"Yes." Li Hanqing didn't dare to persuade again, nodding helplessly, many luxury objects produced in Yangzhou City are highly sought after by Mongolian nobles in the north, and those businesses that worship under the princes and nobles also make a lot of money from it, so blocking the canal and the various ferries on the Yellow River is a very offensive thing, and the effect is getting worse and worse, even from the downstream of the military camp only a dozen miles away, every night, there are people secretly rowing boats to the south.
As for the Zhu butcher, who urgently needs to feed the millions of victims, the two sides have agreed to open the canal and waterway at the same time, and the advantages definitely outweigh the disadvantages, and it is not worrying that he will not agree.
Sure enough, he had never advocated sending assassins to take off the black hand of the Zhu butcher, but this time he completely changed his mind, sighed lowly, and whispered to Li Hanqing, "If he is willing to come to the river to meet, you will prepare poisoned arrows for the old man, and Timur will hire three condor archers from the grassland with a large amount of money, and he will be able to arrive in the military camp in a few days, as long as he can get rid of the Zhu butcher, the old man does not care about burning jade with him." ā
"Prime Minister." Although he had vaguely guessed something in his heart, Li Hanqing was still shocked, the jade was burned, and Totoku actually planned to exchange his life with Zhu Butcher, the surname Zhu was just a grass coward, what qualifications did he have to drag the prime minister of the Great Yuan Dynasty to Huangquan with him.
"Go prepare, it's the quickest way." As if he had suddenly put down the burden of 10,000 catties, he smiled, and his face showed a little relaxation, "Sesame Li is already terminally ill, if Zhu Chongjiu can be removed again, the remaining Zhao Junyong, Peng Da, Guo Zixing and others are just dry bones in the mound, and the imperial court can capture them all if they send a tiger general casually, and at that time, there will be no difference between the old man and his absence." ā
"Prime Minister." Li Hanqing's eyes suddenly turned red, and tears rolled down again, "Why should the prime minister be like this, if you want to fight the Zhu butcher, Xiaosi will go for you, you can keep a useful body, so that you can lift this river and mountain for Dayuan." ā
"You don't have enough portions, that Zhu butcher has always been cunning, and if you can't see the old man, you will definitely be alert." Tokhtar smiled again and shook his head slightly, "This person is also a hero, if there is still time, the old man would rather fight him on the battlefield than make such a decision." ā
