Deeper in the middle of the night, the talks between Zhu Yongxing and Li Dingguo had not yet ended. Although it is very difficult for Li Dingguo to express his allegiance now, Zhu Yongxing still put his heart into his heart and explained his overall strategy in detail, indicating that he is still focused on the domestic battlefield, and his overseas expansion is just to provide a stable rear grain base for the great cause of resisting the Qing Dynasty.

Li Dingguo knew that Zhu Yongxing did not put him together with those officials who had lost their power and were noisy, and most of his heart was relieved. Zhu Yongxing also said sincerely, explaining that he would not lightly abandon the great cause of Zhongxing, and that he would always give priority to the people under his rule and all the officers and soldiers. Therefore, although there is still some dissatisfaction with the change in the Irikawa plan, this is no longer a very serious matter.

"The King of Jin is really at the right time, and in a few days later, I will go to Xialong to meet the King of Yanping County to determine many matters related to the joint operation." Zhu Yongxing pushed the prepared gift to Li Dingguo, a few pairs of sunglasses, and a few flint hair, "When the prince went back, he happened to bring the gift that was handed over to King Zhao." ”

After Li Dingguo thanked him, he inquired about the relevant matters, and frowned dissatisfied, "The king of Yanping County, as a minister, has come to visit him since now, but in his letter, he excused himself and hinted that His Highness would go to the meeting, isn't he afraid of arrogance?" His Royal Highness, as a guard of the imperial court, deigned to descend, I am afraid that it will be despised by him. ”

"Now when we work together with the outside world, why not compete for fame? If we can take joint action to suppress the Qing army's naval division, I will go to the great cause of Zhongxing. It's worth it, too. Zhu Yongxing did not have any angry expression, and his understanding of Zheng Chenggong made him know that Zheng Chenggong would never be willing to unreservedly obey the dispatch of the Ming court and abide by the courtiers, so he regarded Zheng Chenggong as an ally, not a subordinate or a comrade-in-arms.

A look of admiration flashed on Li Dingguo's face. He arched his hand and said: "Your Royal Highness is magnanimous and elegant, and he does not hesitate to condescend to Zhongxing Daming, which is admirable." However, it is necessary to be cautious in joint operations with the king of Yanping County. The king of Yanping County is arrogant, and His Royal Highness must not believe his words, so as not to delay the fighter plane when he breaks his promise. ”

It seems that Li Dingguo is stubborn about Zheng Chenggong's disobedience, which led to the failure of the Southern Expedition and the return of the battle! Zhu Yongxing thought so in his heart, but nodded again and again in agreement. smiled and said: "King Jinyu's good words, I naturally keep them in mind. When fighting in conjunction with the Zheng army, more attention will also be paid to it. Well, the king of Jin will stay in Mengzi for a few more days, and it will not be too late to leave until the strategy of entering Sichuan is completed. ”

"Your Highness still has doubts about entering Shu Land?" Li Dingguo, the king of Jin, blinked, and seemed to understand Zhu Yongxing's worries, "But immigration is very difficult." His Highness is worried that our army will occupy the land, but it will be difficult to get food and grass. Occupy an unstable area? ”

Zhu Yongxing smiled bitterly and said, "That's right. The road is difficult and far away, and relying on Yunnan Province to transport grain may not be able to support it for too long. I have ordered the troops entering Sichuan to advance to the cantonment and solve part of the grain and straw. However, if the army still has to mobilize for battle, it must have the people under its rule to cultivate the land. to achieve self-sufficiency. ”

Li Dingguo hesitated for a moment, and tentatively suggested: "If His Highness issues an edict to suspend the expansion of overseas immigration, it may be beneficial for immigrants to enter Sichuan." ”

This is not the root of the problem. Of course, Zhu Yongxing would not follow Li Dingguo's advice, and he only had a general idea. It is also necessary to discuss with others to refine the details.

"If you want to fill the river with the people, the nearest one is Huguang." Zhu Yongxing groaned and said: "Our army is marching in southern and western Sichuan, and if we can contain most of the Qing army in Shu, the thirteen families will be able to take advantage of the situation to enter eastern Sichuan." They have the advantage of boats and boats, and they can go up the river and threaten Chongqing, and they can harass Huguang and move people from Huguang to Sichuan. I have asked the Holy Lord to crown Liu Tichun, the Duke of Anhui, as the king of the county, so that I can unify the command, unite the strength of the thirteen families, and actively respond to the grand strategy of the southwest. ”

"If you work together, you will be strong, and the thirteen will be under the proper unified command." Li Dingguo smiled bitterly and said: "When I abandoned Kunming, Jin Shaozai once said to me: 'Shuzhong Xun Town is lined up, and now His Royal Highness is newly defeated, and Yuan (Zongdi) and Hao (Yongzhong) are far away. Restore Jingxiang, can you ensure that you will no longer be crowned with Hao Yongzhong and other princes, so as to stand side by side with His Royal Highness? Now that I think about it, I regret that I have misheard the treacherous words, but I am also selfish, and I have a deep view of the door, so that the situation is as dangerous as an egg. Now His Royal Highness treats people with sincerity, and can finally gather all the heroes to fight against the Qing Dynasty, how dare I make the same mistake again? Please rest assured, if I enter Sichuan, I should follow the open-mindedness of the King of Shu, and I will not dare to have a domain in my heart. ”

Zhu Yongxing looked at Li Dingguo thoughtfully, of course it is a good thing to have such a change, if this is really the case, there is no need to worry about the unhappiness between the Ming Army and the Thirteen Families.

Li Dingguo didn't notice Zhu Yongxing's gaze, and sighed to himself, "What I regret the most is that I failed to spend time with the King of Shu, which is my fault." The words of the King of Shu are still vivid in my mind, which really makes me regret and ashamed. ”

Liu Wenxiu, the king of Shu, said on his deathbed: "The northern soldiers are pressing, the country is in danger, please enter Shu to serve the soldiers of the thirteen families." The minister has 160,000 yuan in cellar gold, which can be paid. The wives of the ministers and their families should be whipped to obey the king. Then he went out of the camp in Shaanxi and Luo, and turned defeat into success. The heart of this minister is also the one who dies and looks at it. ”

Zhu Yongxing nodded a little abruptly, and sighed: "When the King of Shu was critically ill, he was still haunted by national affairs, and most of the suggestions he made were based on the overall situation. The dead are gone, if we don't feel their loyalty and don't detect their correctness, won't it make the king of Shu feel uneasy? ”

Li Dingguo sighed again and again sadly, in Zhu Yongxing's view, he was truly aware of his mistakes and biases.

In this regard, Zhu Yongxing felt gratified, persuaded again and again, diverted the topic, and talked about a lot of other things, which made Li Dingguo's mood improve a little. When Li Dingguo realized that it was already the middle of the night, he hurriedly confessed and said goodbye.

There is a saying that knowing mistakes can be corrected, and good is great. However, after some mistakes are made, they will not give people a chance to correct them, and it is beyond regret. Historically, Li Dingguo has indeed woken up, but it has been overwhelmed and difficult to recover, and there is no possibility of recovery. Now, in this plane, I have given you a chance to make amends, and you will not disappoint me, will you?

Looking at the figure of Li Dingguo, the king of Jin, who disappeared into the night, Zhu Yongxing felt a lot of emotion and did not leave for a long time. It wasn't until Yang Guoxiang opened his mouth to remind him that he smiled to himself and turned around to go to the back house.

The red candle flickered, and the people in the house were not asleep, still waiting for Zhu Yongxing. But Zhu Yongxing hesitated, did he go to the dream bead room where the lights had been turned off to rest, disturbing the pregnant woman's rest? Or go to the dragon's room with lights and candles on, and bully and bully the girl who is waiting for him?
