Jin Qiude even thought that power should be taken back immediately, and now that Shunting was overwhelmed by the Great Northern Rebellion, the most critical moment for Fujian had passed, and there was no need to use real power to bribe merchants and gentry. According to Jin Qiude's understanding of Huang Shi, the latter basically does not care about false names, and under the pretext that this thing is never difficult, Jin Qiude plans to arrest the parliamentarians on charges such as insulting the old mother and fornicating with their father and concubine.

However, Huang Shi disagreed, and told Jin Qiude that he thought that the situation was still unclear, and that it would be too bad if Xu Ping would go to Shunting and wipe out the rebels like melons and vegetables, and that Fujian and Guangdong had not yet pacified the unrest that would inevitably result from the purge. Kim claimed that he had a complete plan, but Huang Shi was equally skeptical, reminding him that Kim had made similar assurances when the New Army had fought with the Chuang Battalion, but the result was that the New Army was defeated all the way. All in all, Huangshi refuses to carry out any purges now, and it will still be implemented for a while longer to use power to buy merchants and gentry.

"King Shun's letter came in time," Huang Shi told his henchmen that he planned to agree to negotiate peace with Shun Ting: "But I will definitely not believe King Shun if I talk about it, looking at General Xu's deployment, he is also careful to watch out for me." In fact, not only did I have no intention of fighting them, but I was willing to sell them weapons and gunpowder. ”

Although Huangshi often surprised his subordinates these days, but this time they were once again shocked by his thoughts, Zhao Slow-Xiong did not object to temporarily verbally promising to non-aggression with Shun Ting-originally did not expect them to have much faith, but as long as there was this non-aggression in the name, the other party might have illusions when the troops were tight, and transfer more of the main force from Zhejiang back to the north--the fewer troops Shun Ting left here, Zhao Slow-Xiong felt that the success of the surprise attack was more certain.

But Huang Shi obviously didn't just intend to just agree on the surface and then wait for a good opportunity, but was seriously thinking about signing and abiding by such an agreement, and just now even said that he planned to do *** trade with Shunting, which is a bit beyond Zhao Wanxiong's imagination.

"In the past, I promised any treaty to my enemies, in my private capacity, well, I admit that it was not a glorious thing, but I do not recall any promise in the name of my position and then repented." Huang Shi's confession made his old subordinates flurry for a while, although he understood the literal meaning of Huang Shi, but he still didn't know what he wanted to say, Huang Shi did not further explain the difference, the emperor's private reputation and national credit in this era are basically the same thing, and the following is the same, for example, when he was in Liaodong before, when Mao Wenlong was still the general soldier of Dongjiang, his credit was the credit of Dongjiang Town, and the reputation of the boss here in Fujian and the goodwill of his store name are also inseparable: "This time I gave it to King Shun, It will not be the private guarantee that I have always given to the enemy, but the guarantee that will be given by the State by a vote of the Provincial Council and then given to him in the name of the ruling minister. ”

"Will this Li Shun believe it? The subordinates felt that it was better for the adults to give him a personal guarantee to win the trust of the people, and the vote of the provincial secretary of state was that the adults had the intention of shirking their responsibilities and leaving a way out for tearing up this treaty in the future. ”

"Brother Zhao and I think the opposite, I think that private guarantees are unreliable, and guarantees issued by position should be observed. If everyone thinks that the country signs a treaty to tear it up and has no credit, then we will receive suspicion not only externally, but also internally, which will be very harmful to the country. ”

Although Huang Shi said it impassionedly, Jin Qiude thought that it was just because Huang Shi felt that he was not able to win the trust of others after breaking his promise a few times, so he moved another name to clear his name, but Jin Qiude relied on his understanding of Huang Shi and believed that Huang Shi would not hesitate to tear up the treaty when the benefits were big enough: "The subordinates seconded Brother Zhao, Li Shun will not believe this proposal, and the adults can say to Li Shun that you use your great military exploits as a guarantee this time, and you will definitely keep your promise." ”

"I don't think Li Shun will believe it."

"It's better than that provincial court." In order to increase the effect of a surprise attack, Kim felt that it was always necessary to be as persuasive as possible.

"Of course I won't talk in vain," Huang Shi pointed to the letters spread out on the table in front of him, these letters from Lin Dan Khan and his northern allies were of little use to Huang Shi, at least not for now, but not for Shun Jun: "I give these to King Shun as a greeting gift to show my sincerity." ”

"That's too generous." Zhao Slowxiong immediately objected, Lin Dan Khan's letters have his golden seal, and the others also have their own seals, Wang Qinian's even handwritten, a discerning person can know the truth at a glance, if Shun Ting reveals these letters, I am afraid that there will be a huge rift between the Northern Alliance immediately: "My lord, my subordinates think that it is Li Shun who has the advantage in strength, not Khan." ”

"Of course, Li Shun's strength is superior, so Jian Khan will count on me to send troops to help him drag General Xu, Jian Khan feels that the current situation is similar to the Warring States, Li Shun is the Qin who wants to annex the world, and we are the countries that need to join forces, so I can't help but look down on me."

"Then why do you want to help Li Shun? It's time to help the Northern Alliance, right? Just now, the adults said that they wanted to buy some *** for Li Shun. ”

"It's not about selling some, it's about selling as much as Li Shun wants, to be precise, I will cancel the *** ban on the north, and merchants can sell things to him openly, gunpowder, grain, anything." Seeing the increasingly surprised eyes of his subordinates, Huang Shi shook his head: "I don't plan to attack King Shun suddenly, at least not until he expells the northern captives from the Guanwai, I plan to make an alliance with him, not to consolidate the world forever and divide the world as before, but to not invade each other for three years, and not to build fortresses or garrisons within a hundred miles of the demarcated border." I would suggest to King Shun that if he defeated the Khan within two years, it would be lifted after three years, and if the war did not end within two years, it would be automatically extended for one year to the end of the fourth year, and if the war was not over within three years, it would be extended for another year, and so on. ”

"The adults not only want to help Li Shun, but also give him at least a year of respite?" Jin Qiude finally understood what Huangshi meant.

"I don't know if Brother Jin has ever heard a sentence called 'The people's will is difficult to change'?"

"Of course I've heard of it, so we can't give Li Shun time to settle the people's hearts, and we can't let the people regard him as the monarch, we have to take advantage of Zhejiang, Nanjing, Jiangbei, and the Central Plains as soon as possible, just to avoid the situation that 'the people's will is difficult to change'."

"Brother Jin understands that the best way to determine the hearts of the people is to share the same hatred of the enemy, and sometimes in order to calm the hearts of the people, there is no enemy to create one, and now Li Shun has a ready-made one. Brother Jin can think about it, whether the people in the north are now in Shanxi and Shaanxi, or Henan and Beijing, whether they are gentry, merchants, peddlers or farmers, they must all be panicked, they will definitely breathe a sigh of relief after hearing that General Xu has returned to the division, and feel that someone is protecting or looking forward to him to rescue, at this time, if we suddenly hear that we take the opportunity to raid Jiangnan and drag Li Shun's hind legs...... There is no need to raid Jiangnan, as long as we make a proposal like a truce in exchange for Zhejiang, these people will think that we are their enemies, and if they suffer any misfortune, they will probably blame us - if those bastards in Fujian and Guangdong don't make trouble for King Wu, how, how...... Then when we go on the Northern Expedition, the people in the north will no longer be as indifferent as they are now, they will regard us as enemies, regard Li Shun as a benefactor, and regard Li Shun as their own, and there will be things like 'We Dashun are fighting bloodily in front, and this group of bastards has been picking up cheapness in the back, causing us to die so many people and suffer such a big loss, and now they still have the face to come out and beat us, wanting to steal the world.'" For the people of the north, this is no longer a personal struggle between Huang Shi and Li Zicheng, but a struggle between their own people and their enemies. If I conquer the world in this way, I will kill many more people to deter the people in the north, which is far greater than the resistance now. ”

Several people in the room were silent, and Huang Shi looked at their serious expressions and said:

"Of course, this is based on the fact that even if we drag Li Shun back, they will eventually beat the sweat away, and there is another kind that we do not do anything, and we do not stop, not only drag Li Shun's back, and storm their left-behind troops in Jiangnan and Huguang, but also sell weapons to the sweat, and even send people to help the sweat train the army, let them go to fight Xu Keqin, and if their hands destroy Li Shun, and then we will fight with the sweat for the world. The price of this is to let the Tartars occupy Hebei and even the Central Plains, and let half of the country fall......"

The expressions of the other people in the room became more serious, and Huang Shi asked softly: "I know that Li Shun has put a lot of pressure on us in the past year, and I heard that they will inevitably be relieved when they return to the north, but with my understanding of the monarchs, I don't think you will endure this kind of thing - to help the Tartars, let them enter the Central Plains, and let them do whatever they want in the pass." ”

Zhang Zaidi first shouted: "Of course we can't tolerate it! ”

Several other people also echoed one by one, and Jin Qiude was the last to apologize and said: "My lord forgives me, my subordinates are confused." ”

"If a person is not a sage, who can be without fault?" After Huang Shi unified everyone's opinions, he further said: "If General Xu didn't return to the north, I wouldn't have to do this, I could raise the banner of expelling the Tartars and win the hearts of the people in the north and even the world, but now that General Xu has returned to the division, if we don't help the Tartars, we must help Li Shun!" Not only to help, but also to help with great fanfare, let alone to take advantage of the danger of others to occupy the territory at this time, so that the people in the north will feel that we are also their own people, and even the army and officers and soldiers of King Shun will thank us. In this way, when I fight with Li Shun in the future, the people and even the officers and soldiers of King Shun will feel that this is just a dynastic struggle for hegemony, and the personal grudges between me and Li Zicheng have nothing to do with them. ”

"Then what about Lin Dan Khan, Jiang Ping, and Wang Qinian's letters?" Seeing that Huang Shi had made up his mind, Zhao Slowxiong asked; "Don't be strange, my subordinates feel that if they are appeased, most of these people will still vote for us in the future, and they won't dare to vote for Li Shun again, right? Since the adults have to fight with King Shun sooner or later, they always have to win over these wall grasses. ”

"Of course, I don't like to push people who want to ride the wall to my enemy's side, especially when you have to kill people if you don't win them over, but Wang Qinian and Ji Xinghui, as long as they are not at the end of the road, they will not surrender to King Shun again, and they may not dare to come back to vote for me, and when they are really at the end of the road, they don't care if I leaked the private messages they gave me. I was going to reply to them, saying that I did not approve of their actions, and that I was going to help King Shun, so I sent their letters to King Shun, but if they were lost, I would not touch a single hair of their cold hair, and as long as they could flee to my side, I would never return them to King Shun as favors. If they surrender at once, and no longer ally with the Tartars, I'll give them a rich man—I guess they won't, especially when they still have so many soldiers and chassis in their hands, and they must want to bargain for something more. ”

"What are you going to use as a guarantee? It was also voted by the Provincial Secretary of State. ”

"There's no need for this, I'll use my great military exploits to give them this guarantee in my personal name," Huang Shi said with a smile, looking at the strange expressions on the faces of the people around him, he laughed: "If they don't believe it, I won't have to think about whether to do it myself or leave it to King Shun to deal with them after escaping." ”

……

After being called back from Zhejiang, Huang Naiming has been sullen, his father did not blame him for losing the battle, but blamed him for losing the battle and wanted to hide it, Huang Naiming explained that he wanted to make up for the merits, and Zhao Slowxiong and others did not express any objections.

The father's expression looked very disappointed, sighed a few times, and said that Huang Naiming and his brother had been in the army since they were children, and the two brothers were easily confused by the flattery: "It was a little better before, but my friends took care of you in my face, and now how many people regard you as their future master, do you wonder why they don't dare to say things that will make you angry?" ”

However, Huang Shi did not blame Huang Naiming too much, and finally comforted him and said that even he couldn't tell what was true and what was false, but just asked him to learn a lesson.

After hearing about Huang Shi's plan, Huang Naiming suddenly volunteered to be the envoy in person and go to Beijing to express his sincerity for his father. He first mentioned this idea to his two sworn friends, Bao Yuanlang and Shi Tianyu, both of them were quite surprised, and they didn't quite understand why Huang Naiming suddenly thought of putting himself in danger.
