157: Weird Bottom Line
"Shi Feng, what are these Guangxi officials doing here? There won't be anything like last time in Liuzhou City, right? ”
Qin Er rubbed his hands, looking for answers to Deng Shifeng with some excitement, Qin Er didn't go when he attacked Liuzhou City last time, and he didn't see this kind of officialdom, so he has always been a little regretful, he is the chief executive in the mountains, but he has never really seen the officials of the Ming Dynasty, so naturally he can't learn anything.
"You're not confused, are you...... The other party has already signed up for his own number, although the official level is small, but he is also a genuine official of the Ming Dynasty, and he came to us on behalf of the highest chief executive of Guangxi, engaging in private transactions? Does he think his nine clans have lived enough?! ”
Deng Shifeng directly shook his head and denied Qin Er's speculation, although Qin Er has now brushed a lot of experience points in administrative work in the past few years, but he still has a lot of deficiencies in scheming and penetration...... Of course, he can't be blamed for this, after all, Qin Er worked hard every day to find food and survive in the first half of his life, and now it is not easy to do this step after making up for evil.
"Then what is this official doing here? It won't be to persuade him to surrender, yes, I don't see it, I don't want to see the birds with those officials' nostrils facing the sky, isn't this unpleasant for myself......" Qin Er, who was hit with enthusiasm, immediately brushed himself off, although his words were a bit irresponsible, but in all fairness, Qin Er has the confidence not to be affected by this kind of bird spirit, everyone has been working hard for so long, and now they have laid down such a large territory, and now although the attack power of the mountain village is insufficient, the defense is still more than enough, Qin Er is qualified to say this.
Waving his hand to ask Qin Er not to be in a hurry to make a definition, Deng Shifeng said the answer he judged:
"Coming to us now, and being an official speaks for itself, and have you noticed his rank? How big is the ability of the seven products, and who does it represent? Combining these information, the answer is nothing more than two - if you can't beat it, try to see if you can recruit us and get to the bottom of it. ”
Deng Shifeng grinned and said that he was very surprised by Zhong Shuqing's arrival, originally he thought that his small force would not fall into the official Zhao'an list for the time being, after all, with Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng in the north, who are entrenched in one province or even affect several provinces at every turn, the "little people" in their actual territory of only two or three counties will not be qualified to enter the Zhao'an team. Therefore, Zhong Shuqing's arrival not only surprised him but also made him unprepared, and now he is thinking about how to find out the other party's intentions and find a way to deal with it.
Shi Feng ......" Although there were only the two of them in the room, Qin Er still leaned over and lowered his voice and said, "If it is Zhao'an, will you agree?" ”
"I don't know ......" Deng Shifeng gave his current inaccurate answer very sincerely, looking at Qin Er, who was a little confused by his answer, Deng Shifeng spread his hands and said helplessly.
"Don't say I don't know, in fact, even the governor behind Zhong Shuqing can't call the shots about this matter, so I have to ask Chongzhen and the elders around him about this matter...... Zhong Shuqing's identity already shows that this is just a small person sent by the local magistrate to throw stones and ask for directions, he can only be a middle microphone at most, and he can't decide anything, and it's boring to talk with this kind of person! ”
Qin Er's face immediately collapsed when he heard Deng Shifeng's last words, he knew that this was the rhythm of letting him be the representative of the main talk, this Deng Shifeng has gradually grown up since the people below have become more and more fond of being a shopkeeper and soaking in various research groups every day. However, although there was some pain on his face, from the bottom of his heart, he knew that this was also an opportunity for Deng Shifeng to brush up on his experience, and sure enough, Deng Shifeng encouraged him with the next sentence.
"Lao Qin, you go to talk about it and get in touch with that Zhong Shuqing, don't ask for any results, but don't be too cold, if this guy is really the kind of guy who doesn't know what to do with his nostrils facing the sky, you don't have to talk about it anymore, find a few people to beat him out and kill his prestige, let him know whose land he is on! Lao Tzu, we even dare to do rebellion, and we are afraid that he will not succeed as a petty official from the seventh grade!! ”
Deng Shifeng's words were very powerful, this feeling of strength made Qin Er involuntarily straighten his waist, and after seeing Qin Er's emotions and momentum aroused by himself, Deng Shifeng continued:
"Also, do you think the people in our mountain village should be shameless?"
"Face?! Of course!! Qin Er was a little baffled by Deng Shifeng's words.
"If you want face, then don't directly agree to Zhao'an, I don't want to be like Zhang Xianzhong and them, and then rebel and rebel again and again to be a villain who doesn't believe in his words."
agreed with Deng Shifeng's disdainful complaint about Qin Er, the people in the mountains are more simple and kind, and they attach great importance to integrity, which is not a substantial binding ability, and Qin Er, a villain like Zhang Xianzhong, is quite contemptible.
"Then what can you talk about if you don't accept Zhao'an?" Qin Er felt that his brain was a little messy.
"Talk about cooperation." Deng Shifeng gave the answer lightly.
"Cooperation? Shi Feng, you're not confused, are you? It is the businessman who cooperates with Huang Zhang, and this is the same as the official...... Although I haven't met any officials yet, everyone knows that cooperating with these officials is tantamount to conspiring with a tiger......"
Taking advantage of Deng Shifeng's words just now, Qin Er sent it back to Deng Shifeng with interest.
"That's because the people who cooperate with the government are not strong enough! Now we have the initiative, whether to talk or not to talk is actually they begging us to talk, I will let Luo Dan prepare two battalions of lightly armed mobile troops ready to go out at any time, and if we are in a hurry, we will move in the direction of Qingyuan and Penn to create momentum, which will not only train the team but also put pressure on the other side, I estimate that the bottom line of the other side is to seek stability and not chaos!"
Of course, Deng Shifeng understood the meaning of Qin Er's words, and one sentence of explanation revealed the core point. Then he looked around the room, and after making sure that this was his own office, he would not cause **, and then lowered his voice:
"I think the Ming Dynasty is already very hanging, after being recruited, it is nothing more than sending troops and guns to the north to help the enemy, I may have gone half a year ago, but now ...... I think the Songjin War is about to end, what did you do in the past? Send it to death! And the battlefield is fought in the north for nearly 10,000 miles, and the daylily is not to mention cold, and it is estimated that it can become rancid and moldy!! Instead, you have to go by boat...... Do we have sea power now? Give your own supply lines to someone else...... That's brain-dead! ”
Deng Shifeng knew very well that the Songjin War, which defeated the last living force of the Ming Dynasty, would end in less than two months, even if Deng Shifeng really wanted to do something to let the Ming Dynasty support it for a longer time, but he really couldn't do anything in this time, plus he currently had a regular army strength of a reinforced regiment on hand, even if he wanted to, he couldn't draw too many troops to fight north, and then there was the biggest focus in his complaining - it was impossible for the mountain village to hand over such an important matter of logistics support to others!
There is no doubt about Deng Shifeng's estimation of Qin Er, Deng Shifeng's accurate estimation of the development of external events has made everyone feel that he knows the future, but no one knows that Deng Shifeng is not really predicting the future, but he himself has traveled back from the future...... In the memory of history buffs, the Battle of Songjin will end in February, and then it will pass...... It is estimated that it will only be able to turn into a corpse collection team......
"Qin Er, you just remember these two articles, first, we are not recruited, and we don't want to become obedient to the announcement, because we don't have much good impression and trust in the officials, and I don't want my soldiers to become cannon fodder; The second is that we can show our sincerity by suffocating some of the weapons they want the most at the moment. ”
"You don't play all these two cards at once, the hole cards have to learn to open the situation and counter the opponent's hole cards when the situation is frozen. Let's tell the person surnamed Zhong the bottom line of our first article, but don't say that the prefect governor and the elder and the emperor in Yanjing City will not agree, even the person surnamed Zhong understands that this is absolutely unacceptable; Then in the process of stalemate, it is appropriate to indicate that you can back down a little and then play the second hole card. We believe that the other side has already seen our weapons, and this is already the best advertisement! With the second card boosting, I guess you can reach some kind of cooperation agreement between you......"
Although Deng Shifeng said so, he and Qin Er were already mentally prepared for the worst, and this habit was also learned from Deng Shifeng: make the most adequate preparations, and prepare for the worst! Therefore, no matter what difficulties are encountered in the implementation process, in addition to being mentally prepared for the worst, everyone can also have an expected plan to deal with it.
"Shi Feng, are you really planning to sell weapons?! Aren't our weapons for sale? ”
determined the general direction of the negotiation, Qin Er's second hole card in the arms sales still need to be figured out, don't sell it to others when the time comes, turn around and beat yourself, it will be a big joke.
"Hehe......" was mentioned by Qin Er about weapons, Deng Shifeng laughed he. You can rest assured about this, I mainly sell the standard knives of the Ming Dynasty and the cold weapons of the spear and the shield, the Songjin War made these weapons in the north very bad, and it is also a good order to sell some to feed our workers. As for firearms......"
Speaking of this, Deng Shifeng suddenly remembered something, and took out a letter from the drawer, and as soon as Qin Er saw the envelope, he knew that this was a special envelope used by Huang Zhangshi to communicate with the mountains.
"Huang Zhangshi found the foreign devil who ran the Luzon route in Guangzhou the year before last, and after several contacts, the other party saw that we all ate the copper material from Luzon every time, and even the copper ore we were willing to eat and gradually increased the freight volume each time, and now there are ships specifically willing to run this line, at least three ships dock at the port every month, and each ship carries more than 100 tons. In addition to the ships transporting copper ore and copper materials, there are also many cargo ships that have to be transshipped by the owner in Guangzhou, which is a waste of transshipment costs and our most precious time! ”
"You also know how important these industrial materials are to our industrial and military development, if they can turn a blind eye and allow those cargo ships to directly transport materials from Guangzhou all the way to Liuzhou...... I can sell them part of the Summer style rifles!! (To be continued.) )
