Start a Ming Dynasty plane

Chapter 345
"What! Send a letter to Guihua City?!"

Zhao Shouquan stared at Fan Wencheng, Fan Wencheng smiled and said nothing, Zhao Shouquan looked at Fan Wencheng with a mournful face and said: "Fan Gong, you have found me a chance to redeem my sins, you are looking for me It's a chance to behead and die."

Zhao Shouquan was about to cry, and it was fine to send letters to other places. If he went to Guihua City to deliver letters to that devil Li Chaosheng, then he would be haunted if he could come back. If he couldn’t go, he might as well feed the horses here. It is better to live than to die.

Thinking of Zhao Shouquan cupping his hands to Fan Wencheng, he said, "Fan Gong, I can't do this. Fan Gong finds someone else and leaves."

Seeing this, Fan Wencheng smiled and said, "Where are you going?"

Zhao Shouquan said with a bitter face, "Go back to the stables and feed the horses."

Fan Wencheng laughed at this moment and said: "Brother Zhao Xian thinks it's okay to go back, but I have asked the prince for instructions, if you don't go, it will be against the will of the prince, the prince doesn't need slaves who don't obey his will, what do you think?"

Zhao Shouquan stopped when he heard this, looked at Fan Wencheng bitterly and said, "Fan Gong, you and I have no vengeance, why did you hurt me!"

After hearing this, Fan Wencheng laughed and said: "Brother Zhao Xian, why did you say that? You and I are both Han Chinese. We should help each other in the Qing court. How could we harm each other? You misunderstood me as a brother."

Fan Wencheng pulled Zhao Shouquan back with sincerity, and said to Zhao Shouquan with a sincere look: "Brother Zhao Xian, you made a big mistake this time. You lost Guihua City and sent the enemy's letter to you!" In the hands of the lord, he almost got angry, everyone in the barracks wanted to crush you, in such a situation, if you don't make a great contribution, who can save you."

Zhao Shouquan fell silent after hearing this, Fan Wencheng said very reasonable, he made a mistake, without one or two credits, how could he stand up straight again, but even if he wanted to make meritorious service, the task was too much. It's dangerous.

Fan Wencheng glanced at Zhao Shouquan's face, made a guess, and the corner of his mouth turned up slightly: "Brother Zhao Xian, I know what you think, and I feel that if I return to Huacheng, I will throw myself into a trap and die, but I don't think so. , Come on, I want to help you analyze a thing or two, and you will know that I will not harm you as a brother."

Zhao Shouquan glanced at Fan Wencheng, with a look of disbelief, Fan Wencheng smiled and said, "If you don't believe me, just listen to me, first, your identity in going to Guihua City this time is a messenger, and there is a saying that the two countries are not beheaded when they are at war. He, Li Chaosheng, has already achieved the image of a feudal lord, he will definitely pay attention to his personal reputation, and will not damage his image for the sake of little people like you and me, otherwise he will not be able to convince the public in the future."

Zhao Shouquan frowned a little when he heard this, and followed Fan Wencheng and said, "Secondly, according to my analysis, Li Chaosheng didn't want to kill you, otherwise he wouldn't have let you back, and killed you in Guihua City, why bother?" How about killing you again in circles?"

Zhao Shouquan smacked and smacked his mouth when he heard the words, and it was true. In Guihua City, Li Chaosheng killed himself as easily as crushing a bedbug. In the end, Li Chaosheng didn't kill himself, which means that in Li Chaosheng's eyes, he was not good. Killing is not necessary, there is no need to kill, then your own safety is guaranteed.

"The last and most important point is that the letter written by the prince to Li Chaosheng this time is just a simple invitation to meet, without any insulting words, and will not make Li Chaosheng furious. Since he is not angry, there is no such thing as an angry beheading." For the part of the story, the prince has much more credibility than Li Chaosheng in this respect."

Fan Wencheng said with a smile after saying this: "With these three points, your safety can almost be guaranteed, what does Xiandi Zhao think?"

Zhao Shouquan was silent at this moment, his eyes were rolling around, as if he had made up his mind, he cupped his hands and said, "Thank you Fan Gong for your guidance, Mr. Zhao understands, I will take this job."

Fan Wencheng laughed and said, "That's very good."

Zhao Shouquan looked at Fan Wencheng and said, "But Mr. Fan, I have one more request."

Fan Wencheng looked at Zhao Shouquan and said, "But it doesn't matter."

Zhao Shouquan rubbed his stomach and said, "Fan Gong, although you have analyzed the situation for me, I know that this trip is still full of dangers, so I want to enjoy it for the last time, can I ask Fan Gong to arrange a sumptuous meal for me? It is best to have wine, if there is a young lady, give Zhao some, after Zhao enjoys it, she will definitely complete the task of the prince with one heart and one mind, never slack off, and die without regret."

After hearing this, Fan Wencheng looked at Zhao Shouquan and said, "Brother Zhao Xian doesn't believe me?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Shouquan waved his hands repeatedly and said, "No, Mr. Fan has misunderstood."

Fan Wencheng waved his hand and said: "Forget it, since Brother Zhao Xian has something to ask, I can't disappoint Brother Zhao Xian, that's all, I will prepare the food and drinks for you, but for women, there are no women in the barracks, so I can't prepare them for you. Brother Xian is still patient." After a while, when the matter is over, there will be plenty of women to choose for you when you return to Shengjing."

"Yes, it's all up to Fan Gong's arrangement."

Zhao Shouquan cupped his fists.

Fan Wencheng nodded, turned to leave, and waved to his subordinates: "Prepare a table of wine and food for him, and find a clean dress along the way."

"Yes."

Zhao Shouquan watched Fan Wencheng walk away, touched his stomach and said, "No matter what, let's talk about it after filling you up first."

Zhao Shouquan hadn't eaten human food for a long time. Since he was locked up in the stables, his food was the beans left over from the horses. That's right, the beans left over from the horses. He couldn't even eat it, because his status in the barracks was incomparable to a good horse, let alone a man, and it wasn't miserable.

Zhao Shouquan had a full meal. After so many days, he finally saw the meat. What Zhao Shouquan ate brought tears to his eyes. The fatty meat that he would not even look at in Guihua City has now become the most delicious in the world. It was so delicious that he was really hungry.

After eating and drinking, he took a bath again and changed his clothes. At this moment, he saw the letter written by Dorgon not far away. After thinking for a while, Zhao Shouquan got up with the letter. Is it a blessing or a curse? , After eating this meal, if I dare not to deliver the letter, then what awaits me is definitely a dead end.

Zhao Shouquan sighed, this is all retribution.

After leaving the camp, there was a team of guards waiting outside. This team of guards pretended to protect Zhao Shouquan. In fact, how could Zhao Shouquan not understand that they were watching him for fear of running away. When they arrived at Guihua City, they would turn back. Will follow him into the city.

"My lord, please get on the horse."

The guards bowed their hands to Zhao Shouquan, Zhao Shouquan nodded with a wry smile, got on his horse and went straight to Guihua City.

……

In Guihua City, City Lord's Mansion, Li Chaosheng was listening to Guzi's report.

"Li Chaolong's department called. They have received the batch of money from Zhao Ruiguo and Zhangjiakou, and they are currently rushing to Lantian County. For safety reasons, Master Li Chaolong brought two brigades to escort them."

Li Chaosheng nodded and said: "It's better to be cautious, there is no big mistake in being careful."

"In addition, according to our investigation, the Tazi prince Duoduo sent troops to Zhangjiakou yesterday, killed many local tenant farmers, and finally set Zhangjiakou on fire."

"what?"

Li Chaosheng's eyes widened when he heard this, he looked at Guzi and said, "Say it again, that idiot Duoduo burned Zhangjiakou?"

Gu Zi said: "Yes, our sentry inspected it and saw that Zhangjiakou was reduced to ashes. If we want to restore it, we may have to build another city in the same place."

"Hahaha, okay, that's great. After all this messing around, it turns out that Duo Duo is our good friend. I don't know if Duo Ergun's anger is dead. It's really a headache for him to have such a brother. what."

Li Chaosheng was overjoyed, and Gu Zi was puzzled at this moment: "Commander, Duoduo burned our Daming Zhangjiakou, not his Tartar's Shengjing City, why are you so happy?"

Hearing Guzi's words, Li Chaosheng grinned and said, "Guzi, let me tell you this, if Duoduo burned Shengjing City, he would be stupid at best, but he would be stupid if he burned Zhangjiakou."

"Commander, is there a difference between stupid and stupid?"

"Yes, and there is a big difference. Stupidity is a problem with the brain, and it is usually silly, but stupidity is different. Usually, it looks like a normal person. It is only when doing things that they do stupid things. And one thing A stupid thing is deadlier than ten stupid things, like Duoduo burned Zhangjiakou, hahaha..."

Li Chaosheng couldn't help laughing when he said this.

Seeing this, Gu Zi said, "It's good for us if this family is burned down?"

Li Chaosheng said with a smile: "Of course, and the benefits are not small."

"What's the benefit?"

Gu Zi asked puzzledly, Li Chaosheng smiled and said: "The location of Zhangjiakou is very important, the merchants in it colluded with the Tartars and betrayed Daming, although we killed all the merchants inside, but Daming is too big, it is inevitable to sell some for profit. So as long as Zhangjiakou is still there, there will inevitably be some profiteers in the future."

"And if Zhangjiakou is here, there will be nails near Guihua City. When they want to counterattack Guihua City one day, this place can be used as a springboard to threaten Guihua City."

Li Chaosheng looked at Gu Zi and said, after hearing this, Gu Zi said: "Ah, since the danger is so great, why didn't we burn it at the beginning? Wouldn't it be easy to let Brigadier Wang Guixiang burn it?"

After hearing this, Li Chaosheng sighed and said: "I also struggled with this matter for a long time at the time, and our burning will do us great harm."

"First, Zhangjiakou is the city of Ming Dynasty. It's okay for us to kill the merchants, but if we burn the city, it means that we are going to rebel. The impact is too bad, and it will also cause the nearby tenant farmers to lose their support and prevent them from living well. , our reputation will stink, which is not conducive to the establishment of a positive image of our Lantian."

"Secondly, keeping Zhangjiakou is good for Guihua City. After all, Guihua City has blocked the trade route between Zhangjiakou and the Tartars. The new merchants in Zhangjiakou want to do business with the Tartars. We can block them. to plunder some money and supplement the finances of Guihua City, and since the commercial roads are in our hands, Zhangjiakou will have great difficulties in developing. Therefore, it does not matter whether the city of Zhangjiakou is burned or not, so it was not burned at that time. it."

"And now that he was burned by Duoduo, it would be very beneficial to us. The first infamy is all from the Tartars, which has nothing to do with us. The second Zhangjiakou is destroyed, and the Tartars have completely lost control of the generation of Guihua City." , We are already in an invincible position strategically, if they want to threaten us again, unless we rebuild Zhangjiakou again."

"Thirdly, Zhangjiakou has lost its commercial status, but the trade with Mongolia will continue. Mongolia and the ethnic minorities in the north are still dependent on Ming's goods. We can turn Guihua City into a second Zhangjiakou, so that Our merchants have come to seize the wealth of the north, and this time we will make a fortune."

"So, Duoduo's burning was good. It burned all the strategic deployments of the Tartars near Guihua City, and at the same time helped Lantian burn a road to get rich. I have to say, how much Duo is really the lucky star of our Lantian County, hahaha..."

After hearing this, Gu Zi nodded and said, "Listening to the commander's words, Duoduo is really stupid, haha..."

After listening to Li Chaosheng's analysis, Guzi understood that Duoduo had taken the blame for him, and all the benefits went to Lantian County. Duoduo is indeed a friend of Lantian.

"Okay, tell the kitchen to add another dish for me, and then boil a pot of wine for me. I want to have a good drink today. I haven't encountered such a good thing for a long time. I have to celebrate it."

Li Chaosheng stood up and stretched his arms and legs, Guzi smiled and said, "Yes, yes, I will have a drink with the commander today."

Li Chaosheng glanced at Gu Zi and said, "Are you accompanying me, kid? You're a glutton for drinking, right?"

After hearing this, Gu Zi grinned and said, "Hey, you can't hide anything from the commander."

"Okay, let's make an exception today and let you drink two glasses."

Li Chaosheng smiled and said to Gu Zi, Gu Zi's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Thank you, Commander, thank you, Commander."

"Don't thank me, thank you, Xie Duoduo."

"Yes, thanks to that bitch, hahaha, I'm going to tell the kitchen."

Gu Zi ran out, Li Chaosheng smiled and said, "You bastard."

Less than 2 minutes after Gu Zi went out, Gu Zi came in again. Li Chaosheng looked at Gu Zi and said, "Why so fast?"

Gu Zi said: "Commander, Zhao Shouquan is back and is asking for an audience outside the mansion. Now he is being guarded by our people."

"Zhao Shouquan? Is this guy still alive?"

Li Chaosheng was a little surprised at how vicious the letter he sent to Dorgon was. Li Chaosheng knew it himself. Dedicating it to Huang Taiji for enjoyment, and becoming a bastard, this matter would be furious to any man, let alone Dorgon is still a man of status.

Li Chaosheng estimated that Dorgon would be so angry that he would kill him on the spot, and Zhao Shouquan was reserved by Li Chaosheng for Dorgon to vent his anger. He didn't expect this kid to be fine, and he didn't know whether to praise him for his life or to praise Dorgon. Dagon has the capacity to accommodate people.

Li Chaosheng looked at Guzi thoughtfully and said, "What is he doing here?"

"He said that he would hand over Dorgon's personal letter to you, Commander."

Millet replied.

"Dorgon's letter?"

Li Chaosheng frowned slightly.
