662nd Retreat from the black robe
PS: Thank you for your wishes, but please be worthy of your heart, hjjggtujhfju's monthly ticket support.
Li Cangxing has been thinking about today's meeting in the past few years, and no matter what is mentioned in this meeting, it will eventually be pulled back to Taizu's bag, this black robe has been grinding with him for three years, and what he wants most is this thing, so Li Cangxing prepared his words early in the morning, and he smiled slightly: "Black robe, did you bring the edict of Emperor Jianwen?" β
The black robe smiled, took out the pale-faced edict in his arms, and shook it in front of Li Cangxing: "You saw this last time, do you want to read it again today?" β
Li Cangxing smiled slightly: "No need, you are really prepared." β
The black-robed thick eyebrows raised: "In order to prove the sincerity of the cooperation between us, shouldn't you also take out the Taizu Tips?" β
Li Cangxing said calmly: "I can't take this thing out yet. β
The black-robed eyes flashed with a cold lightning, and there was a bit of anger in his voice, a trace of murderous intent: "What? You still haven't taken the Taizu Tips? Li Cangxing, are you kidding me? β
The corners of Li Cangxing's mouth hooked, and he said calmly: "I didn't fool you, I didn't say that I would hand over the Taizu bag in three years, I just said that I would help contact the Mongolians, black robe, it's your own understanding that has a problem." β
The black robe said angrily: "Okay, you Li Cangxing, you dare to play the old man like this, without Taizu's tips, we can't make trouble in the mainland, what's the use of just having foreign aid, don't you want to cooperate anymore, or did you have the idea of delaying the army for three years?" β
Li Cangxing said in a deep voice: "Black robe." You and I have the same goal, both to overthrow the dog emperor Jiajing and seize the world. Why should I lie to you, and what kind of delaying tactics should I use? Could it be that I summoned these thousands of heroes and wanted to go to the southeast to stand on their own, just to deceive you and tease you? β
The black robe sneered: "You also know the old man's methods, you know the old man's strength, you know that after deceiving the old man." The old man will not spare you so lightly, so you look for these people to protect yourself, and then find reasons and excuses to go to the southeast to manage your own forces. Wouldn't it be better to confront me in the future? β
Li Cangxing laughed loudly, and his voice could be heard clearly even two miles away, if it weren't for this desert that was uninhabited for more than ten miles. It will definitely cause the people around you to start. The black robe looked at Li Cangxing coldly and laughed, without saying a word.
After laughing, Li Cangxing looked at the black robe squarely, and said word by word: "Black robe, you are a smart person, if I really intend to fight against you, with my current strength, do you think you can eliminate me so easily?" Say light and lose. To put it bluntly, even if you can wipe me out with huge consumption, I'm afraid that you have deliberately concealed all your strength for many years. You have to be exposed to broad daylight, and when the time comes, Lu Bing, Yan Shifan, and even the good and evil factions of the Central Plains, who can tolerate you, the heir of the ultimate demonic skill? β
The black robe gritted his teeth: "Your wings are not fully plump now, just talk to me like this, if you wait for your strength to skyrocket in the future, then how can I restrain you?" β
Li Cangxing smiled slightly: "Black robe, why are you always thinking about confronting me, at least there is one thing we have a common goal, that is, to overthrow Emperor Jiajing, you are already old anyway, let you be the emperor for a few years, and it doesn't hurt to live this addiction to comfort your ancestor Emperor Jianwen, as for me, didn't you say that it will be passed on to me in the future?" β
The black robe looked Li Cangxing up and down: "What, you are also interested in the throne and power now?" β
Li Cangxing nodded: "Yes, if you want to truly realize your ideals, you can only do it by mastering the supreme power, the reason why I have been displaced for half my life, at the mercy of others, and controlled by others, to put it bluntly, is it because I have no power and no power, but I stick to my ideals." In the past two years, I have seen a lot of things in the Mongolian steppe where the strong are kings and the weak eat the strong, and I deeply feel how ridiculous and stupid I used to be, only when I am strong, can I do what I want to do and protect the people I want to protect. Black robe, I join forces with you to rebel, it can't be nothing good, just for the brothers who follow me now, I also have to take this responsibility, right? β
The black robe sighed: "I can't imagine that you have been wandering in this desert for a few years, and you can comprehend these truths on your own. β
Li Cangxing's eyes flashed with coldness: "What do you mean?" Could it be that my life has always been controlled and arranged by you, who are you? β
The black robe's eyebrows raised, and he smiled: "Your fate is completely arranged by yourself, except for being manipulated and controlled by Lu Bing when you later entered the Jinyi Guard, who can dominate you?" β
Li Cangxing snorted coldly: "It's good that you know, my life is up to me, I, Li Cangxing, will never be at the mercy of others and fooled by others in this life, black robe, you and I will be equal allies in the future, so don't speak to me in a commanding tone." I am not interested in the edict of Emperor Jianwen in your hand for the time being, so please don't force me to hand over any Taizu tips. β
The black robe's brows furrowed, and he turned to a deep voice: "I didn't force you to hand over the Taizu Tips, but now that the two of us are cooperating, we must issue the Tips and the Edict at the same time before we can officially start the army. β
Li Cangxing nodded: "Yes, I said this, but I also said that when the strength is weak, you just take out this thing, and no one will rebel with us, so there are the three conditions I put forward back then, you go to train the army and accumulate money, and I go to look for foreign aid, only after these three conditions are met, can I have the capital to start an incident." β
The black robe clapped his hands heavily, and said loudly: "Haven't I done the first two now, and you also intend to go to the southeast to find foreign aid, the situation is very good, why don't you take out the Taizu tips?" β
Li Cangxing smiled slightly: "I haven't officially established a relationship with the Japanese and the Spaniards yet, this foreign aid is not reliable, and we lack a base that is enough to cause trouble, the black robe." I ask you, if I take out the Taizu Trick now, you take out the edict. Where can we go to climb the heights and let people from all over come to join us? β
The black robe was slightly stunned, and then said: "Back then, Taizu raised troops in Huaixi, and later set the capital in Nanjing, and Emperor Jianwen was also killed by Zhu Di in Nanjing, and it was precisely because Zhu Di knew that he was unpopular in Jiangnan that he would go back to Beijing. This is his hometown where he has been running for many years, and if we want to be soldiers in the future, we will definitely be in the south. The best place is in the city of Nanjing, where I have a lot of power. β
Li Cangxing nodded: "But after all, there are tens of thousands of troops in Nanjing City, and there are also the six departments of Nanjing set up by the Ming Dynasty, and the entire bureaucratic system is exactly the same as that of Beijing City." Back then, King Ning rebelled. Nanjing is not on his side, you thought about raising the flag in Nanjing from the beginning, that is looking for death, Cheng Zu was able to raise troops in Beijing back then, that is because he has been operating in Beijing for many years, black robe, do you dare to say that you can respond to every call in Nanjing? β
"That's why I've been persuading you not to eat hot tofu in a hurry. When you don't have the strength, you rush to raise troops, but you are just killing yourself. When we have enough strength, I will not consider taking the Taizu Bag, you can rest assured, the bag is now in a very safe place, no one can take it, if I want to take it, I can do it at any time. β
The black robe gritted his teeth: "I'll talk about the matter later, let's talk about the place of the army first, what King Ning wanted back then was to quickly seize Nanjing, as long as Nanjing, then half of the south of the Yangtze River can be passed on, you say you can't start an incident in Nanjing, where can you be?" β
Li Cangxing laughed: "If you want to think about things, you naturally have to find the place where the emperor is most hated in the world, in this kind of place you can accumulate the army the fastest, if this place is economically developed and has enough money and food, it is naturally the best, the reason why I want to go to the southeast is because Zhejiang and Fujian provinces are the most suitable for this condition." β
The black robe nodded, and there was excitement in his tone: "Tell me more details." β
Li Cangxing said: "First, Jiajing's ban on the sea has robbed millions of people along the coast of their livelihoods for thousands of years, making the people's grievances boiling, and they are not channeled, and the corrupt officials and corrupt officials of the strict party also take the opportunity of moving the coastal people to loot these people, so there will be so many people who go to the sea as pirates, Wang Zhi is just the first person to collude with the Japanese people and lead the Japanese people to attack the coastal people. This will cause the scourge of the Japanese Bandits, which has lasted for more than ten years and is now intensifying. β
The black-robed eyebrows raised: "Yes, that's true, it's just that these widows are just a plate of loose sand, do you expect these people to raise troops?" β
Li Cangxing shook his head: "If they were just a plate of loose sand, they wouldn't have been exhausted for so many years." I dealt with Wang Zhi's gang back then, these people have been fighting with Wang Zhi and Xu Hai for many years, they are deeply familiar with the military, far from ordinary thieves, and their combat effectiveness is much stronger even than the guards of the Ming Dynasty, and in the past few years, the southeast situation that has been stabilized by the way of recruiting security has become war-torn again because of the rebellion of the imperial court, killing Wang Zhi and Xu Hai, and the people along the coast must not only hate the Japanese Invaders, but also hate the emperor who brought them trouble, if we can eliminate the Wolves, to win the hearts and minds of the local people, naturally there will be the most determined group of supporters. β
The black robe shook his head: "Cangxing, are you thinking too naΓ―ve, it is true that the people along the coast hate the emperor, but the sergeants recruited here, like the Qi family army, the combat effectiveness of the Yu family army is now only afraid that it is also the strongest in the Ming Dynasty, although I don't know about military affairs, but I have also heard Shifan say that there is such a strong army in the southeast, even if the strong army in the north and nine sides may not be able to compare, you are here to make trouble, is it too risky?" β
Li Cangxing said confidently: "This is the second point I said, Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou I have been in contact, they are pure soldiers, and since the troops led by the two have been called the family army, it will inevitably cause the emperor's jealousy, he can't even trust the group of courtiers without soldiers under his command, Xia Yan and the border general Zeng Milling have been so sensitive to correspondence in the past, I am afraid that the troops of these two will also be forcibly disbanded after the elimination of the Japanese invaders." β
"The strong troops in the southeast, that is, the newly recruited soldiers brought by these two people, especially Qi Jiguang's Yiwu soldiers, I have seen it with my own eyes, it is indeed very powerful, and it is not easy to train. And the guards in the southeast are not vulnerable at all, and dozens of Japanese can fight all the way to the city of Nanjing, which is not worth mentioning. So we just need to do our best to eliminate the Japanese invaders, and on the one hand, we can win the hearts of the coastal people. On the other hand, it can also speed up the early disbandment of Qi Yu's troops, and once there are no strong troops in the southeast, we can naturally gain a firm foothold. There was an uprising. β
The black-robed brows stretched, and he smiled slightly: "But there are still two problems here, you said that the army will be disbanded after the war against the Japanese invaders, once you fight the Japanese invaders, how can you attract the Japanese people for foreign aid?" The other is that you have to join the army to fight the Japanese invaders, if Qi Jiguang's troops are all disbanded, your people will also be disbanded. How are you going to get into trouble then? β
Li Cangxing smiled: "Black robe, don't forget, these brothers of mine are essentially martial artists in the rivers and lakes. It's just that he temporarily joined the army as a soldier at the time of the pacification, and after the pacification of the Japanese Kou, he will naturally restore his identity as a warrior in the rivers and lakes, and when the time comes, he will find a place in the southeast to open a sect, and use the popularity we have laid down when he was in the southeast of the country. When the time comes, don't worry about those coastal people joining in. And the imperial court has always wished that these people would fend for themselves and would not stop us. β
"As for the introduction of the Japanese people as foreign aid, as I said earlier, when the time comes, we will attract powerful Japanese daimyo and even Japanese generals, not the Shimazu family, a small prince who only shrinks on the island of Kyushu, those defeated samurai and down-and-out swordsmen who are so poor that they mingle with the coastal fishermen, even in the Japanese country, are only at the bottom. If we really want to find people to join forces, we won't look for these poor ghosts. β
The black robe let out a long breath: "It seems that you have thought about everything." It's just that in this way, you will inevitably have a head-on conflict with Yan Shifan, Shifan is my apprentice after all, I'm afraid that I can't help you in this matter. β
Li Cangxing shook his head confidently: "Of course I can understand your position, but please also make one thing clear, the big thing you want to do, Yan Shifan will not help you, and the only one who stands with you in the end is me, Yan Shifan is now colluding with the Japanese Kou, just to earn more silver taels, and by the way, arrange a passage for himself to escape to the Japanese country, if you want to do something, he will not help you, and it is even more likely that he will betray you." β
The black robe gritted his teeth, and a cold light flashed in his eyes: "That's true, Cangxing, now only you and I are allies, but I tell you the truth, there are many of my forces involved in the cooperation with Yan Shifan, and many of those Japanese are mixed with my people, if you forcibly want to eliminate the Japanese invaders, it will inevitably cause great losses to my people, and another is that a large part of my silver money is now from the income of the southeast, if this piece is all owned by you, then my loss will be too great." β
Li Cangxing nodded: "Then I have to ask you to withdraw your people from the Japanese invaders first, so as to reduce the losses, as for the money, after eliminating the Japanese invaders in the future, I will find a way to grasp the overseas trade in the southeast in my hands, and then you and I will pay half a penny, so it is better than you begging for some leftovers from Yan Shifan's hands now." β
The black robe sighed: "My people can't be withdrawn, if Yan Shifan knows that I will withdraw people now, it will definitely arouse his vigilance, and with his wit, he will definitely think that I am going to join forces with you." So I have to bear a part of the loss, but I tell you that there is no shortage of elites among my people, don't think that it will be so easy to deal with! β
Li Cangxing laughed: "So you are from the Demon Sect?" β
The thick eyebrows of the black robe raised: "I didn't say that, I told you before, there are my forces in the good and evil factions, of course, now the Sun and Moon Sect is Yan Shifan's biggest reliance on the rivers and lakes, he joined forces with the Japanese Kou, and also let many demon cultists and scattered people on the rivers and lakes join the Japanese army, many of them are my people, I can't withdraw what I said, and it is precisely because of this truth, but this does not mean that I am from the Demon Sect." You know very well that I am a descendant of Emperor Jianwen, and I will not really be in any Jianghu sect. β
Li Cangxing nodded: "Then you have to lose a lot of subordinates, but don't worry, if you have money in the future, I will compensate you, the current battle for hegemony in the rivers and lakes, as long as you have money, are you afraid that you won't be able to buy the masters." β
The black robe smiled: "Yes, that's exactly the case, so don't show mercy when you start, the more fierce you fight, the less flaws it will seem." β
Li Cangxing glanced at the moon that had begun to sink and said, "Does Yan Shifan know my identity?" If I'm going to re-establish myself in the southeast, will something bad happen to him? β
The black robe shook his head: "Cangxing, don't worry, I have never revealed your identity to Yan Shifan, I won't let him do anything bad to you, it's just that your movement in the north this time is too big, and the world now knows that the terrible Jinyi Guard killer Sky Wolf back then has reappeared in the desert, and it is the same person as the Sky Wolf in the Ping An Inn in the past few years, I am afraid that Shi Fan will take the initiative to trouble you." β
Li Cangxing sneered: "Now I'm not alone, Yan Shifan wants to fight with me, I'm very interested, but my goal is to join forces with you to fight the world, and I don't care too much about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, as long as he doesn't come to provoke me and harm my affairs, I won't have time to deal with him for the time being." It's just the benefits of the southeast, he will definitely not be willing to give up in vain, my battle with him is still inevitable, when the time comes, you can find a way to stay out of the matter, just don't help each other. β
The black robe laughed: "Don't worry about this, I will do enough, and I will help you secretly." β
As soon as Li Cangxing turned around, his tall and burly figure walked in the direction of the Ping'an Inn, and his words drifted over with the strong wind in the desert: "Then let's see you in Zhejiang." β
The black robe looked at Li Cangxing's distant figure, his cold eyes flashed and he was thoughtful. (To be continued......)
