Wu Sangui laughed and praised: "Oh, these scholars are all human spirits, but all their thoughts are all for you Mr. Li to figure out."

In this way, instead of allowing the southern towns to participate in the establishment of a new king, the scholars and doctors relied on my strength to divide and disintegrate the towns after the new king succeeded to the throne.

When the time comes, my Liao Town will be the Great Ming Pillar Stone. Naturally, you can take charge of the court! ”

Li Zhaoji nodded slightly, and praised Wu Sangui's wisdom again and again, but he thought in his heart, in this way, you have completely offended the southern towns, and then Lao Tzu will unite with them to kill you, wouldn't it be easier.

Wu Sangui couldn't stop praising himself when he saw Li Zhaoji, and said: "Sir, sir, I, Wu Sangui, have to be helped by you, it is really an ancestor who has accumulated virtue, and all the blessings of several lifetimes should be born here."

I said before that I would like to worship Mr. as a military advisor, but I underestimated Mr.

Mr. Li, I see that you are in your early twenties, and you have the same interests as me, and you should share wealth and wealth, so why don't you and I become brothers and create a great cause together? ”

When Xia Guoxiang heard this, he was a little embarrassed for a while, if the two of them worshipped, then Li Zhaoji would not be his uncle, he was even younger than himself.

Li Zhaoji smiled and waved his hand: "Ping Xibo's love, Li should not have refused, but this is inconsistent with Li's original intention, and it is also harmful in the long run. ”

Wu Sangui looked embarrassed and said, "Could it be that Mr. I'm stupid and think that I'm not qualified to worship with Mr.?" ”

Li Zhaoji hurriedly shook his head: "How dare you, you are Ping Xibo of the Ming Dynasty, the pillar of the country, I am just a businessman, how dare I look down on Ping Xibo."

You and I are not good for your future. ”

"Why do you say that, you have a strategy, I have soldiers and horses, let's join forces, and the great cause can be accomplished." Wu Sangui still didn't understand what Li Zhaoji meant, Li Zhaoji gave a lot of strategies and was impeccable, but he never said his position in it.

Li Zhaoji said: "After the great cause is completed, is Ping Xibo willing to share the world with me?" ”

Xia Guoxiang immediately reprimanded: "Mr. Li, you are too much to say. Uncle bows to you to exalt you, and you can't have extraordinary thoughts. ”

"I want to be open, and it is precisely because I don't want to go against Ping Xibo in the future that I will say the unkind words today. I regard Ping Xibo as a friend and partner, treat friends, I have always been a gentleman first and then a villain, if General Xia doesn't like it, then I will swear with Ping Xibo. Li Zhaoji stood up and said with a cold face.

Wu Sangui immediately glared at Xia Guoxiang angrily, and said in his heart that his son-in-law is really a fool, although Li Zhaoji came up with the idea, Fu Wang Lu and Wang Lu are all in his hands, and he didn't get these two key people, and he could only think about whether he could do it, Xia Guoxiang, a fool, looks smart on weekdays, why is he confused at this time.

"Get out of here, who told you to talk like that to Mr.!" Wu Sangui directly slapped Xia Guoxiang and scolded: "Mr. treats me sincerely, teaches me a lot, and plans for me." I will treat them as a countryman, how can you say such rude words?

You don't want to think about it, Mr. has long thought of the plan of supporting the new king, and he also arranged people to invite the vassal kings early in the morning, if he doesn't plan for me, but goes to Jiangbei to find those generals, where is the future of our Liaozhen.

Speaking of which, Mr. is my benefactor in Liaozhen, how dare you say something that chills Mr. ”

Xia Guoxiang was directly slapped on the ground, and he couldn't get up for a long time, and Wu Sangui kicked him again: "Don't get out of here, stupid as a pig, unobtrusive, it's all you, annoying Mr. Li." Go outside, find a pro-soldier, a hundred whips. ”

This time, Xia Guoxiang was no longer faceless and retreated, and immediately after, the sound of whipping sounded outside

Li Zhaoji knew that Wu Sangui was acting, but he could let Xia Guoxiang be beaten, and he was happy to hear it in his heart, thinking that who made you just force me, now you will be beaten.

Li Zhaoji opened the door, his face was full of anxiety, and he saw that he was lying on a stone, Wu Sangui's personal soldiers were whipping him on the back, his clothes had been torn, and Xia Guoxiang was snorting.

"Ping Xibo, General Xia is also for you." Li Zhaoji had anxiety on his face and persuaded him.

"Even if it's for me, you shouldn't be open-mouthed. Sir, you don't have to defend him, he can't escape this whip today, and when I whip him, let him kneel in front of you and apologize. Wu Sangui said.

Li Zhaoji's face was anxious, and his heart was happy, he knew that as long as he said to Wu Sangui not to blame Xia Guoxiang, Xia Guoxiang's whip would not have to be beaten, but this guy repeatedly made trouble for himself, how could Li Zhaoji let it go, he deliberately did not ask Wu Sangui, but pulled the soldiers and servants in the courtyard one by one, and talked endlessly.

"What do you see, don't help me persuade Ping Xibo, how good is this, how good is it if it is broken."

"Oh, don't fight, General Xia is also for the good of Ping Xibo." Li Zhaoji went up to snatch the whip of his own soldiers, and was pushed by him, Li Zhaoji took a few steps back, and pounced on Xia Guoxiang, saying: "General Xia, say a word, admit your mistake to Ping Xibo, and be soft."

How can people bear these hundred whips? ”

Li Zhaoji deliberately did not find the right master, and the pro-soldier didn't know the inside story, and thought that Ping Xibo really wanted to punish Xia Guoxiang, so he beat him harder.

Li Zhaoji saw that the robe on Xia Guoxiang's body was torn, revealing the chain mail inside, Li Zhaoji immediately said: "General Xia was still wearing chain mail, ouch, but it scared me, now it's okay, it hurts, but it can't hurt the flesh and skin." ”

"Dare to wear armor and be punished, get rid of it!" Wu Sangui couldn't hold back his face and scolded.

So, the chain mail was removed, and Wu Sangui's feigned anger became real anger in the eyes of the pro-soldiers, and the pro-soldiers waved the horsewhip continuously, one whip was heavier than the other, and the Xia Guoxiang was beaten with open flesh, Xia Guoxiang was not a brave and fearless person, he was just snorting in the chain mail just now, and now he was shouting.

Li Zhaoji saw that Xia Guoxiang's back and buttocks were beaten to pieces, and he was satisfied, so he walked up to Wu Sangui and said: "Ping Xibo, give Li a face, let General Xia go, he just lost his words for a while, you broke him, how will we get along in the future."

Now that Li Chuang is in the west, the east is in the east, and Liaozhen is sandwiched in the middle, when employing people, you have broken General Xia, who else is available. ”

Wu Sangui was just pretending, who knew that the more he did it, the more he looked like it, hearing Li Zhaoji begging him, he nodded: "Okay, the rest of the whips will be written down for the time being, and you can take him down to treat his injuries."

Today's beating of Xia Guoxiang is a lesson, in the future, Liaozhen, under myself, no one is allowed to speak disrespectfully to Mr. Li. ”

Only then did the soldiers know that when Xia Guoxiang was beaten, he said something to Li Zhaoji that he shouldn't have said, so they took a closer look at Li Zhaoji's face, and said that they could not provoke him in the future.

After cleaning up Xia Guoxiang, Wu Sangui said: "Sir, please, the flower hall is not worth worrying about." ”

Li Zhaoji re-entered the door, prepared his emotions, and said earnestly to Wu Sangui: "Ping Xibo, it's not that I don't want to bow to you, it's really that we have to think about the long term in doing things.

You have great respect for me, and you will not treat me badly if you achieve great things in the future, and I also admire Ping Xibo, and I will not fail you in the future.

But the problem is that you are the head of Liaozhen, and I founded the Oriental Trading Company, and you and I are self-contained. In the future, there will be harmony between you and me, but as for the people below, they will compete for power.

Ping Xibo is a person who does great things, and it should be clear that when we are in this position, we are often pushed forward by others, and we can't help ourselves.

Even if you and I bow down today, we will definitely fight each other after we succeed in the future. ”

Wu Sangui held Li Zhaoji's hand: "But the reality has helped me a lot, how can I not treat Mr. well, if Mr. is not a high-ranking official, wouldn't it be that I, Wu Sangui, have no heart?" ”

Li Zhaoji laughed, took advantage of the situation to break away from Wu Sangui's salty pig hand, and said with a smile: "Ping Xibo, I am a businessman, I can't afford to make a profit, if it is not for real profit, how can I help you?" If you don't give it to Ping Xibo first, I will take the initiative to ask for my share. ”

This is not polite to say, but Wu Sangui is very useful in his heart after hearing it, he is not afraid that Li Zhaoji wants it, he is afraid that Li Zhaoji will not want it.

This person is too smart, if he didn't open his mouth, Wu Sangui would feel that there was a conspiracy, so he wouldn't dare to believe him.

"What do you want?"

"I want peace with Xibo and share the world!" Li Zhaoji said lightly.

Wu Sangui frowned, he was definitely unwilling, but he felt that what Li Zhaoji said about sharing the world was definitely not what he thought, so he said: "Mr. make it clear, as you said, let's be a gentleman first and then a villain, how to cut this cake, discuss it in advance, and the province will fight endlessly in the future, so that others can benefit." ”

Li Zhaoji smiled and said: "What Ping Xibo said is that sharing the world is naturally not on an equal footing with Ping Xibo, in fact, I won't even enter the Ming Dynasty, I want to share the world with Ping Xibo?" ”

"Which provinces do you want?" Wu Sangui asked, he thought in his heart, Li Zhaoji held the vassal king, and came up with such an idea, it would be okay for Liangguang to give it to him, but if he wanted more, it would be another matter, or he could agree first, and wait until he got the two kings, and then talk about anything else.

Li Zhaoji laughed: "Ping Xibo, as soon as you took power, you gave the territory of the Ming Dynasty to outsiders, you must not be able to sit firmly in this position, I want the territory, wouldn't it hurt you." Even if you say yes, I won't believe it. ”

"And what exactly do you want?" Wu Sangui was still a little impatient.

Li Zhaoji said: "I plan for you, after you go south, you will first deceive the towns to participate in the support of the Lili, and the other towns will be enough, Zheng Zhilong of Fujian must be among them, and when the new monarch succeeds to the throne, you must find an opportunity to destroy Zheng Zhilong." ”

"And then?"

Li Zhaoji continued: "Then the customs of the coastal provinces of Daming are all operated for me, and the methods can be discussed. Since then, you are the king of the land of the Ming Dynasty, and I am the king of the sea of the Ming Dynasty, this is what I say to divide the world evenly and share the world! ”

"It's that simple!" Wu Sangui asked.

Li Zhaoji stretched out his hand: "It's as simple as that." ”

"No other conditions." Wu Sangui still couldn't believe it and asked.

Li Zhaoji was helpless: "The big condition is this, the small condition, just say what you think." ”

Wu Sangui slapped his thigh: "Sir, what kind of condition is this, I can promise you now." ”

For the benefits of sea trade, Wu Sangui, as a warlord, is not clear at all, even the Ming Customs he doesn't know whether there is or not, he only has the rich southern provinces of the Ming Dynasty in his eyes, what customs trade, what does it have to do with him? As for Zheng Zhilong, Wu Sangui didn't have any reason why he couldn't get rid of it, he thought about it carefully, but found a reason to get rid of Zheng Zhilong.

Qian Qianyi's apprentice is Zheng Zhilong's son, if he does not take the opportunity to get rid of Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Zhilong will inevitably cooperate with the scholar to deal with himself, this is a stumbling block on his own road to Daming, and it is inevitable to get rid of it.

Li Zhaoji said: "Ping Xibo promised, but today we said it first, and we can't go back."

Now that you Liaozhen is lonely in Liaoxi, not in Jiangnan, the shipping matter is in charge of me, I said in advance, transport troops to Jiangnan to support it, I should support it, but I will not destroy Zheng Zhilong, your relatives in Liaoxi, I will not send it to Jiangnan, you have to destroy Zheng Zhilong, before it can be transported. ”

"Of course, the gentleman is really straightforward."
