Gao Yigong, as a member of Li Zicheng's general, was ordered to come in person, with a major purpose, obviously not wanting to draw a clear line with Zhang Feng, and not wanting to "make the well water not the river water" between the two sides, so Gao Yigong said. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Zhang Feng didn't speak, waiting for Gao Yigong to continue, Zhang Feng wanted to take a look, what did the other party want to do after so much effort to find him.

Gao Yigong said tentatively: "Mr. Zhang, what do you think of the situation in the world?" ”

Zhang Feng said with a smile: "I'm a martial artist, where do I dare to talk about the situation in the world, I don't know what Mr. Gao's high opinion is, I might as well talk about it." ”

For the current situation in the world, and even the future historical trend, looking at the world, no one can see it more clearly than Zhang Feng, however, in front of Gao Yigong, Zhang Feng certainly doesn't want to talk about the situation in the world, not to mention that this Gao Yigong is still Li Zicheng's subordinate, and Zhang Feng is the chief soldier of Songjiang, and the two are originally opposites.

Gao Yigong said: "Mr. Zhang, you are too modest, so if you are not talented, I will talk about the current situation today." ”

Gao Yigong thought for a moment, and then said: "Today, the rebel army is everywhere, among which the power of King Chuang is the largest, and now hundreds of thousands of male soldiers are besieging Kaifeng, just around the corner, the world's responders are gathered, and the world's heroes gather under the command of King Chuang, and it is not a problem to develop to millions of people in a short period of time." ”

"The Ming court is dark and rotten, and the people are struggling to make a living." Speaking of which, Gao Yigong looked at Zhang Feng, afraid that Zhang Feng would be unhappy, after all, Zhang Feng was the chief soldier of Songjiang in the Ming Dynasty and represented the official, however, Zhang Feng did not have any expression, just listened quietly.

Seeing this, Gao talked a lot, and continued to say with confidence, "The Ming court is rotten, and the common people in the world have rebelled, and there is much help for the righteous, and little help for the unjust, this is the unchanging truth, in addition, the Manchu Tartars have strong power, hoarding heavy troops outside the customs, eyeing the tiger, and there is a great desire to win the Central Plains." ”

Zhang Feng interrupted and asked: "Mr. Gao, there is no room for two masters in the world, so in your opinion, whose world is the future of the world?" ”

Gao Yigong hesitated, probably mainly because he was afraid and worried that Zhang Feng was uncomfortable, and hesitated for a long time before saying: "Mr. Zhang, maybe you don't want to listen, but since you asked, then forgive me, if there is anything inappropriate, I hope to forgive me." ”

Zhang Feng said: "It's okay, just say it, I'll listen, I won't be angry." ”

Gao Yigong said: "At present, the heroes under the command of King Chuang are gathered, hundreds of thousands of soldiers, the future will definitely be the world of King Chuang, as for the Manchu Tartars, although they are powerful, but their territory is too small, the population is too small, and the number of troops is limited, if they dare to fight for the world with King Chuang, they will definitely lose." ”

Zhang Feng listened to Gao Yigong's talk about the situation in the world, listened to it for a long time, and only occasionally interjected a sentence, but Gao Yigong seemed to be interested, and he spoke for more than a quarter of an hour.

After talking about it, Gao Yigong seems to remember that he hasn't talked about it yet, and it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time, in case he reveals a little rumor, it will definitely be inappropriate.

So, Gao Yigong changed his words and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, I am interested in talking a little more, I hope you will forgive me, we took the initiative to come to the door this time, mainly because we want you to cooperate." ”

Zhang Feng said: "Say it, I'll listen." ”

Gao Yigong said: "Mr. Zhang, as I said just now, will be the king's world in the future, but now we need a lot of steel to build weapons and armor, and we want to buy a large number of them from Mr. Zhang." ”

Li Zicheng's righteous army, which used a large number of cold weapons, could still rely on capture, but with the increasing scale of development, it was no longer enough to meet the needs by capturing from the Ming army, and now it has grown to hundreds of thousands, and the development speed is very fast.

Without enough weapons and armor, many soldiers can only hold wooden sticks and hoes, etc., it is difficult to improve combat effectiveness, Li Zicheng is already thinking about building his own weapons and armor, which requires a large amount of steel, and Zhang Feng happens to have a lot of steel in his hands.

Seeing that Zhang Feng didn't speak or agree, Gao Yigong said: "Mr. Zhang, let's buy it at a price two percent higher than the market price, no, three percent higher, can we?" ”

Steel is highly profitable and expensive, and if this deal is really made, Zhang Feng will definitely make a lot of money, but Zhang Feng is not ready to sell steel.

On the one hand, I need a lot of steel, although the Baoshan Iron and Steel Plant has been expanded and its production capacity has been greatly improved, but there are many places where I need to use steel.

The construction of ironclad ships requires thousands of tons of steel in a year, and then there is the construction of railways, which also requires a lot of steel.

Now, Zhang Feng himself feels that the Baoshan Iron and Steel Plant is a little unable to keep up with his needs, so that the construction of the railway from Songjiang to Suzhou is not progressing quickly, and the construction of ironclad ships is the same, until now only three ships have been completed, and the fourth and fifth ships are still being built in the shipyard, all because of the lack of steel.

In addition, Zhang Feng doesn't want to help the Liukou, he is the chief soldier of Songjiang, in case it spreads, he colludes with the Liukou in private, it will do him all kinds of harm and no benefit, such a stupid thing, Zhang Feng will not do it.

So, Zhang Feng said: "Mr. Gao, I'm really sorry, it's true that I have a steel mill in my hand, but I need a lot of steel myself, and there is no excess steel to sell outside." ”

Obviously, Gao Yigong had put a lot of effort into it before coming, and immediately said: "Mr. Zhang, this can't be, as far as we know, your steel plant produces more than tens of millions of catties of steel every year, and you can't be short of steel." ”

The annual output of Baoshan Iron and Steel Plant is already 20,000 or 30,000 tons, but it is impossible for Zhang Feng to say to Gao Yigong that he needs to use steel everywhere to build ironclad ships, build railways, build guns and artillery, etc., Zhang Feng just shook his head, with a believe-it or not-and-believe expression.

Gao Yigong obviously misunderstood, thinking that Zhang Feng didn't agree to ask for benefits and sell it at a high price, so Gao Yigong said: "Mr. Zhang, we only buy two million catties at fifty percent higher than the market price, in addition, we promise that if the king wins the world in the future, you will sell us a large amount of stainless steel, which is a great merit, and you will be named a general, how about it?" ”

Zhang Feng smiled, knowing that Gao Yigong and others tried hard to find themselves because they wanted to buy their own steel, Zhang Feng got up and said: "Mr. Gao, I'm really sorry, I really don't have any steel to sell, no, we still have to go to Beijing, so I won't talk to you more." ”

Gao Yigong hurriedly said: "Mr. Zhang, how about we get twice the market price?" ”

The quality of the steel of Baoshan Iron and Steel Plant is good, there used to be a small part of it for sale, generally higher than the market price of two or three percent, in Songjiang Mansion, Suzhou Prefecture, although the steel produced by Baoshan Iron and Steel Plant is a little more expensive, but it has been in short supply.

Now, naturally there are very few stainless steel for sale, mainly because Zhang Feng himself needs a lot of steel, even if Baoshan Iron and Steel Plant has an annual output of tens of thousands of tons of steel, there is no excess for sale.

Zhang Feng saw that no matter how much he said about Gao Yigong, he would not believe it, Zhang Feng waved his hand and said: "Captain Dong, let's go, let's set off to the capital, Mr. Gao, you don't believe it if you say too much, but I finally say that I really don't have any extra steel for sale." ”

After speaking, Zhang Feng walked out of the pavilion and took everyone along the official road to gradually move away, Gao Yigong sat in the pavilion for a long time, Gao Yigong couldn't figure it out, Zhang Feng obviously had a big steel plant, why didn't there be excess steel to sell to himself.

Zhang Feng rode a white horse and led everyone along the official road towards the capital. Riding on the horse, Zhang Feng was still thinking about what had just happened.

Zhang Feng knew that the other party took the initiative to come to the door, and he must be in urgent need of a large amount of steel, and he urgently needed these steels to build a large number of weapons and armor, which also illustrated a problem, that is, Li Zicheng's team is developing rapidly, and a large number of people join in every day, only in this way is a large amount of steel urgently needed to build weapons and armor and other things.

This also sounded the alarm for Zhang Feng, the development of Liukou is so rapid, it is estimated that the demise of the Ming Dynasty will be greatly accelerated, and it will definitely not last for a year or two.

In the future, the competition in the world will definitely be very fierce, all kinds of rogues, such as Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, plus the Manchu Qing outside the Guan, even if it is a traverser, familiar with the future trend, but Zhang Feng does not dare to guarantee that under the premise that the historical trajectory has developed and changed, what will the future develop into.

"I don't want to, take one step at a time, it's best not to get involved for the time being, it's best to keep a low profile, come to a mountain to watch the tiger fight, and finally reap the benefits of the fisherman, and when everyone is almost done, come out and clean up the situation by yourself." Zhang Feng thought to himself.

On the prisoner car, Gao Qiqian seemed to be weak, like a dead dog, but his heart was fanatical, Zhang Feng and Gao Yigong talked in the pavilion for so long, although Gao Qiqian did not hear clearly what was discussed between the two sides, but in Gao Qiqian's opinion, Zhang Feng's fornication was an ironclad fact.

Gao Qi thought in his heart, "The surname is Zhang, this time you are dead, you actually fornicated with the Liukou, and when you go to the capital, I must do everything I can to see the emperor, and I will definitely tell the emperor about your fornication." ”

There was a crisp sound of "pop", and Gao Qiqian, who was fanatically thinking about these things in his heart, suddenly felt another hot pain on his face, and Gao Qiqian knew that he had been whipped again.

Gao Qiqian was furious in his heart, and said in his heart, "What's wrong with Lao Tzu, behaving honestly, this is also being whipped, it's too unreasonable." ”

A voice came from Gao Qiqian's ears, and the soldier who had whipped Gao Qiqian just now said loudly: "Don't fall asleep, give Lao Tzu a little spirit." ”

It turned out that Gao Qiqian behaved like a dead dog, looking drowsy, and the soldier next to him was afraid that Gao Qiqian would not be able to hold on to sleep, so he whipped a leather whip.

This high dive is unlucky!

Zhang Feng and his entourage, after a short rest in Langfang, and then continued to set off, after entering Beijing, Zhang Feng and the relevant personnel completed the handover, most of the personnel returned to Tianjin Wei, and Zhang Feng took Dong Wuping, and more than 20 team members, everyone temporarily stayed in the Songjiang Hall.
