poured a big sip of wine, Gao Jie "smack" and "smack" his mouth: "Whether it's real wine, fake wine!" Maybe this is the last time our brothers will drink, I am a big old man, and I envy the most readers, Mr. Li will be careful in everything in the future.

That's it! Leave! The wine bowl squatted on the table, and Gao Jie got up and left.

"High Boss, stop!" Li Yan was more confused, and quickly stood up and grabbed Gao Jie.

Gao Jie's words were unclear just now, which immediately aroused Li Yan's curiosity.

"You can explain why you drank for the last time. Also, why should I be careful. Li Yan pulled Gao Jie's sleeve and asked.

Gao Jie looked left and right, and saw that no one was paying attention to this: "These words came out of my mouth and into your ears, I won't admit it in another place." What you said to the big boss today has already made the big boss suspicious. Maybe ...... someday! Gao Jie stretched out his right hand and made a wiping motion on his neck.

"You mean ......!" Li Yan's eyes widened, thinking about what happened to Li Zicheng, and he began to be afraid.

When Li Zicheng first started the army, there were no strategists around him, so he invited Li Yan. At first, he was obedient, although occasionally the two would quarrel, and in the end, Li Zicheng came to apologize to Li Yan. Later, the two of them simply worshiped and became brothers, and the relationship was naturally closer, and there were not so many taboos in talking.

"I didn't say anything!" Gao Jie waved his hand.

But Li Yan still pulled Gao Jie's sleeve, and Gao Jie helplessly pushed Li Yan's hand away: "If you can go, let's go, it's not interesting to stay here." ”

"The vast grassland, where can I go." Li Yan hung his hand helplessly, his face full of discouragement.

"You can go to the court."

"I'm going to take refuge in the imperial court?"

Li Zicheng was so drunk that when he woke up the next morning, his mind was dizzy and everything was spinning.

"How did you drink like that yesterday?" Xing brought over a bowl of millet porridge, and Li Zicheng took it and sucked it without a mouthful. A bowl of hot millet porridge went down to the stomach, and then the spirit came.

"I drank too much with Liu Zongmin, damn it, let Li Yan and Liu Zongmin go to Xi'an to find out the news. As a result, Li Yan sent a bunch of things out. got a promise from Sun Chuanting not to send troops temporarily, for the time being? How long the fuck is it called temporary?

None of the officials in the court could believe it. Maybe one day we will wake up, and the cavalry of Ao Canghai has arrived in front of us. His grandmother's is also restless on the grassland. Li Zicheng muttered angrily.

"The big boss, the court has always been an iron-clad official of the yamen. Today's governor of Shaanxi and Gansu is Sun Chuanting, and tomorrow he may not know who it will be. As long as you wait, maybe the imperial court will transfer Sun Chuanting away. When that time comes, you will let people go with gold and silver treasures.

There is no cat that does not eat fishy, as long as we give some money, the court will not do anything to us. No matter how this court changes, the officials are all the same. Xing gave Li Zicheng another bowl of millet porridge.

"Send a car today, another car tomorrow. How can we have so many things, the last time we robbed the Mongols, we folded Luo Rucai. Next time, it is not known how many manpower will be lost. At the beginning, it was Sichuan that should have listened to Mr. Li's words. Li Zicheng regretted a little and didn't listen to Li Yan's advice.

"I don't have a place to sell regret medicine, but I've heard that going west is a place for the Mongols. Maybe we can go to Mongolia ......! ”

"Mongolia can't go, those people are used to grabbing things. Knowing that we have so much money, why don't you grab it right away? What's the difference between this and putting a fat sheep in the wolf's mouth? Li Zicheng took the bowl in Xing's hand and categorically rejected Xing's suggestion.

"Then what do you say, anyway, marry a chicken and a dog and a dog, and marry a monkey like you all over the mountain."

"Damn, when did Lao Tzu become a monkey?" Li Zicheng scolded with a smile and slapped Xing's buttocks. Maybe Xing's ass was too elastic, or maybe it was a night of drunkenness, and Li Zicheng was ready to move.

Just when he grabbed Xing's hand and wanted to press Xing's under him to do something. Suddenly, someone outside the door shouted: "Big boss, there are good things, there are good things." ”

Li Zicheng heard Gao Jie's voice, and greeted Gao Jie's wife in his heart. Let go of the hand holding Xing's and sit down again: "Come in." ”

"Big boss, good thing." Gao Jie's tone was tinged with excitement.

"What is it that makes you happy like this?" Li Zicheng was a little puzzled when he saw Gao Jie so happy.

The spies inquired that a batch of goods was about to pass under Helan Mountain. I heard that it was the Dzungars who robbed the Khalkha people of their goods last year. There were 300 camels, but the Mongols who led the troops were only about 3 or 400.

Do we want to do a vote, this vote is done. We can hide in Qiangtang, I used to know a leader over there. After Gao Jie walked in, he saw Xing's pretty face flushed, and he knew that Li Zicheng didn't want to do something good.

"Three hundred camels?" Li Zicheng's eyes immediately lit up, the last time he robbed the Mongols was also three hundred camels.

After doing that vote, Li Zicheng made a lot of money. Although there is no shortage of money now, I still feel itchy when I hear that there is such a large sum of money under my nose.

"Can you hear clearly?"

"I inquired and understood, the spies came back in the middle of the night last night, and they didn't dare to delay on the road at all."

"Okay, let's do it again this time. After the deed is done, let's hide in Qiangtang. Let the Mongols bite the dog! "Don't talk about Gao Jie, Li Zicheng also knows a few people from Qiangtangtou.

The reason why I didn't think about running away before was because Li Zicheng didn't like the place in Qiangtang very much. Moreover, when the Han people get there, they will get angry, and their chests will be stuffy and they will not be able to breathe. But now it doesn't matter if you flee!

Perhaps they can also pass through the Tibetans in Qiangtang and buy a passage road all the way south through Tibetan areas and into Sichuan.

I heard that Zhang Xianzhong was very able to make trouble in Sichuan a few years ago, and Zhang Xianzhong still has a lot of remnants there. are all King Chuang's original subordinates, and there is still some incense. With the incorporation of Zhang Xianzhong's subordinates, his power can skyrocket again. As long as you keep Sichuan and live in the land of abundance, you don't know how many times stronger than living on the grassland now.

"Okay, I'll go and prepare the men and horses and prepare to go to Helan Mountain." Gao Jie happily walked out.

As soon as he walked to the door, the curtain was opened, and Liu Zongmin rushed straight in, directly knocking Gao Jie on his head.

"You're crazy, you're breaking into the big boss's tent like this?" Gao Jie clutched his chest that was hit and scab, and glared angrily at Liu Zongmin, who broke in.

Liu Zongmin didn't pay attention to Gao Jie, and saw Li Zicheng sitting on the blanket and said angrily: "Big boss, Li Yan ran away with this poor acid." ”

"What? Li Yan ran away? Where did you go? Li Zicheng was stunned for a moment when he heard Liu Zongmin's words.

"I don't know, it was still there last night. But when he got up early in the morning, Li Yan and his people were gone. ”

"Damn, I must have gone to Sun Chuanting. I know that they can't be relied on, so you go and arrest Li Yan for Lao Tzu now. To live to see people, to die to see corpses. Li Zicheng's face was flushed with anger, and he couldn't wait to chop Li Yan into eighteen pieces now.

"Big boss, why don't I go. I'm proficient in the art of tracking, and I'm the best at it. and the matter of Helan Mountain, it also has to be a fierce general like Liu Zongmin. The Mongols are not easy to deal with! As soon as Li Zicheng's voice fell, Li Yan took the initiative to ask.

"You! Okay, you can take someone to arrest Li Yan for me. "Gao Jie is nicknamed the Mountain Harrier, and he is the most proficient in the art of tracking, so it is most appropriate for him to chase Li Yan.

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

"It's so unbelievable! It's so unbelievable! Li Xiao held a letter in his hand, and his hands trembled with anger.

"What are you looking for, isn't it just to kill a few Miao Mans and slaughter a few Miao villages. I think Geng Zhongming and Kong Youde have done a good job. A place like Yungui, Sichuan, was originally a Hanyi miscellaneous place. Those Miao barbarians and barbarians look like good people today, but as soon as they turn around, they will shoot arrows at you.

After all, they decided that we had violated their territory. They still have to pay taxes to us, so they naturally don't want to.

What's wrong with you letting Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming go to Yungui, Sichuan, to suppress bandits, a place with high mountains and evil waters, and kill a few people who robbed the army's baggage. Those Miao barbarians wanted to rob people, and Kong Youde exterminated those Miao villages.

You have disposed of Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming, how will they suppress bandits in the future? If the bandits are not clear, the people of Sichuan and Yunnan and Guizhou will not have a good life. Sun Chengzong lay on the recliner, combing his beard with a comb.

"When the army is outside, the general who leads the army cannot tie his hands and feet. Otherwise, it is likely to lead to a fiasco. Since the eighteenth year of Wanli, Yang Yinglong has committed illegal things in Banzhou. Those barbarian toasts don't know what the imperial court is. caught the imperial court and surrendered troops, and all of them were tortured to death. That kind of miserable image, the old man can't bear to speak.

In the twenty-eighth year of Wanli, the imperial court sent 200,000 troops to attack from all directions, which defeated Yang Yinglong. forced Yang Yinglong and his wife and concubine to commit suicide, and the remnants of the family were also wiped out. Banshu's 800-year-old Tusi administration was finally terminated. It was also at that time that the imperial court began to set up official offices there to administer the place.

It's only been a long time now, and some of Yang Yinglong's original henchmen are still there. Those Miao barbarian toasts have always hated us Han people. Without authority, it will be difficult to manage even if an official office is set up in the future. ”

Zhang Huangyan was also dissatisfied with Li Xiao's fuss.

"That can't kill innocents indiscriminately, you see what is written on it. Young and old, everyone is broken. Who did the child recruit and provoke whom? ”

"The soldiers are red-eyed, but they didn't recruit anyone and didn't provoke anyone, so you won't kill people when they do?"

"These things are annoying, Dashuai, look at this excerpt. Hong Chengchou sent it, and he found some nautical charts from the Dutch. It marks the location of a number of islands, including Temasek, which is the gateway to maritime trade between East and West. What Hong Chengchou meant was that the imperial court should send troops to garrison it. In this way, I can hold the passage between the two oceans. For my Daming, there is no harm in all benefits. Zhang Huangyan saw that Li Xiao was unhappy, so he hurriedly pulled the topic away and diverted Li Xiao's attention.

"Temasek ......!" Li Xiao remembered that according to what he said, the position should be Singapore.

The old man asked Zheng Zhilong that Temasek is indeed a node between the east and the west. He had thought of stationing men there, but the Malays, Siamese and local natives had their own powers. Without roots, it is difficult for the Ming people to survive there.

Zheng Zhilong said that it is difficult to fully control it with his power. So......! ”

"This place must be taken and garrisoned. The second child was forming a Marine Corps there, and Li Dingguo and Zuo Liangyu were brought into the Marine Corps by the second child. The Ministry of War asked for approval for the establishment of the two regiments, and I gave it permission. I think let's let the Marines go and camp there. ”

"Hmmm! Let the Marines go, it couldn't be more appropriate. Also, we should build a castle in a place like Temasek. First, it is beneficial to the garrison, and secondly, it can also protect the Ming maritime merchants who come and go. ”

"Hmmm! The old man also felt that this matter was feasible, and since this matter was proposed by Hong Chengchou, let him go and build Temasek Castle. Sun Chengzong also agreed to this suggestion.

"In addition to the Marines, I also want the Japanese to live on the opposite side of Star Island." Li Xiao suddenly said.

"Okay, what are you going to do with letting the Japanese people get involved?" Sun Chengzong and Zhang Huangyan frowned together.

Li Xiao's concubine Tokugawa Chihime, but Tokugawa Ieyasu's own granddaughter. These two are very afraid that Li Xiao will be blown into the pillow wind!

"Not only do we have to let them come in, but we also have to let them send troops, so that Japanese maritime merchants can dock at Temasek Terminal in the future." A weird smile appeared at the corner of Li Xiao's mouth.

"You have to explain this matter clearly, otherwise the old man will not be finished with you." As soon as Li Xiao's words fell, the two old and angry young men immediately quit, such a big benefit, for Mao to give to the Japanese people. During the Wanli period, the Ming Dynasty also fought a war with the Japanese people in Korea. Although the Japanese were eventually driven out of Korea, the Ming also suffered heavy losses.

"Mr Teo just said that Temasek's place, where Malays, Siamese people, and local people are the most difficult to manage. So simply, let's let the Japanese people participate in it.

It takes manpower to build Temasek Castle, where do these people come from? You can't rely on the army to catch the locals? Could it be that the two of them still want to conquer the people and go all the way to Temasek to build a city?

Who will do the arrest thing? Our people?

The Ming army never kills unarmed people, we are the army of kings, and we must have the prestige of kings. So who's going to do that? I think the Japanese are very suitable, they are ruthless enough, and they are good at slaughtering unarmed civilians.

Massacres are hatreds that will be engraved in the bones of the nation. It's better to let the Japanese people bear this hatred, we Ming people still enjoy the results, and it's best to make a lot of money. ”

"Are you sure that you and the Japanese people have no enmity for killing your father?" The two old guys glanced at each other, and they were a little shocked by Li Xiao's viciousness in their hearts.

This kind of enmity is to be knotted in the bones, and it will not be forgotten by future generations. Maybe a hundred or two hundred years later, the locals are still cursing the Japanese people.

"For the happiness of our Ming people in the future, it is better to let the Japanese people sacrifice. Anyway, they also like to slaughter civilians. Li Xiao smiled and spread his hands.

"Then it's up to you to preside over the matter." The two old foxes immediately made a decision and asked Li Xiao to get the Japanese people inside.

The Japanese people did not fall into the pit, and Li Xiao felt that he had fallen into the pit. Speaking of shamelessness, Li Xiao can't catch up with the two old foxes who have become fine.

PS: Temasek was Singapore's name during the Ming Dynasty.
