Lu Ming

The old shopkeeper Qi who was also taken aback, apologized hastily when he saw this, repeatedly accompanies him, and called the clerk, ordering another clean bedding for the big man.

After making such a fuss for a stick of incense, the big man returned to the room cursing.

Next, the shopkeeper checked out Li Fuyin.

Li Fuyin, who had finally completed the formalities, went out of the shop, and after a little identification of the direction, he changed the burden on his back to another shoulder. Li Fuyin bowed his head and walked towards the entrance of the alley.

Unexpectedly, within 20 meters, he was startled by an abrupt greeting: "Guest officer, do you want to take a car?"

Looking up, he saw a round-faced stable boy half lying on the front seat of the four-wheeled carriage, with his feet on the horse's buttocks, looking at him with a smile.

"No money, no sitting."

Like a frightened bird, Li Fuyin didn't want to deal with anyone at all at this time.Lowering his head again, he hurriedly stepped up.

The general walked another 20 meters, and another sudden shout came oncoming: "Stop, what are you doing?"

Li Fuyin raised his head in astonishment, and a lantern stretched out in front of him.Behind the dim light, there are four patrolmen in livery and armed with swords and spears.

"Vice lord, the younger one is a servant, a good citizen."

"Housekeeper? Which family? Seeing that you are carrying a burden, and your business is sneaky, could it be that there are thieves inside?"

Li Fuyin was in a hurry: "How can you imprison people's innocence? I am from the residence of Shi Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate..."

As soon as he said this, the sound of horseshoes suddenly came from the left side, making Li Fuyin turn his head inadvertently.

At this moment, a thick arm with flower dragon stripes stretched out from the right side, and tightly strangled Li Fuyin's neck.Immediately afterwards, a white cotton towel with a strange smell covered his mouth and nose.

Before the thin Li Fuyin struggled, he first felt the air, and then he was pushed into the carriage... At this moment, Li Fuyin saw a smiling round face from the corner of his eyes.

In the carriage, Li Fuyin, whose mouth, nose, waist and legs were held down by several big hands, first struggled desperately a few times, then he felt his head gradually becoming dizzy, and finally fell into the silent darkness.

……

Early the next morning, Uncle Zhongyong's mansion, small study.

Liu Wang, who hadn't slept all night, looked haggard, but his spirit was very excited.Handing over a piece of material with both hands, Liu Wang said excitedly: "Station Master, all have been interrogated. There really is a traitor!"

"Hehe, I thought so too."

After receiving the material, Xue Haiyuan read it leisurely, and then handed the material to Li Feng, the deputy station chief who was sitting beside him: "How about the three Annan monkeys?"

"They are all locked in the basement of Tongfu and can be disposed of at any time."

"Let's put aside the traitor for now. You go back now and deal with those three yourself."

"Yes."

Seeing Liu Wang turn and leave, Xue Haiyuan lowered his head and pinched the bridge of his nose, and said a little tiredly, "Finally, another incident happened."

Seeing Xue Haiyuan's preoccupied appearance, Li Feng, who knew the inside story, asked softly, "Are you still worried about the Tartars?"

"That's right." Xue Haiyuan sighed, "Te [-] and Te [-] haven't moved at all, and I'm on pins and needles right now."

"Or." Li Feng thought for a while, and asked tentatively: "I personally took people to get Te Er Duan, and then left a note to stimulate them for a while."

"Hehe, Lao Li, Lao Li, it's still too late for you to time travel."

Xue Haiyuan was amused by Li Feng's thoughts: "I know you are a master tactician. But haven't we time-traveled now? It's all expensive... The son of a daughter can't sit down. Even if you do this kind of thing, it's still too expensive. What are the men going to do?"

"Let's talk about it." Reaching out to pat Li Feng's shoulder, Xue Haiyuan analyzed: "These people don't move, it must be because they didn't receive the order. It's meaningless for you to take them."

"But it's not an option to wait passively like this. Tianjin seems to be very anxious."

"Yes." Xue Haiyuan lowered his head again and pinched the bridge of his nose: "It's a thousand days to guard against thieves, so don't be anxious."

As the saying goes: There is no book without a coincidence.

Just when the two bosses were having a headache about something, the head of the intelligence team of the Beijing Station came quickly outside the small study room: "Station Chief, Teyi has made an action."

"Huh?" Xue Haiyuan immediately sat up from the sofa upon hearing this.

"Early this morning, a few leather goods dealers from outside came into Teyi with a small amount of goods."

"Hey hey."

Xue Haiyuan patted his forehead, and let out a sigh of relief: "Finally, I am looking forward to it."

Li Feng also relaxed at the same time.Waving his hand, he immediately ordered: "Add more people to monitor closely, and notify the station master and me as soon as there is any movement."

"Yes."

After the intelligence team leader left, Li Feng rubbed his hands: "You estimate that you can come in a few days."

"Familiarize yourself with the situation, hold a meeting, contact White Gloves... hand over the post." Xue Haiyuan was completely relaxed at this moment: "It will take three days anyway."

A prophecy.

Three days later, a letter of worship from Lu Kuan, the sixth-rank official who is now the deputy envoy of Qianning and the former Bing Bei Dao, who is now at home, was delivered to the Zhongyong uncle's mansion.

Lu Kuan was not made to wait for long.Soon, a young man in a three-piece suit brought Lu Kuan and his entourage to a secluded side hall of Cao Mansion.

In front of the side hall, Lu and Kuan received special treatment: several agents in black clothes searched them.

At the same time, in the side hall, Liu Wang was whispering in Xue Haiyuan's ear: "Station Master, this is a Tartar, do you really not need guards?"

Xue Haiyuan waved his hands helplessly when he heard the words: "This is a negotiation on our land, have you read too many dramas?"

"Let's talk about it." Xue Haiyuan waved his hand, signaling Liu Wang to go out quickly: "With the deputy station chief here, who would dare to seek death and use violence?"

At the same time that Liu Wang was going out through a hidden door, Lu Kuan and Lu Kuan were also led into the same room with a sofa and coffee table.

Glancing at the large silver mirror hanging on the wall, Lu Kuan stepped forward and cupped his hands in a salute: "The student has met Master Xue."

"I have admired you for a long time." Xue Haiyuan shook hands with Lu Kuan enthusiastically: "Sit down, everyone sit down."

After calling everyone to sit down, Xue Haiyuan introduced Li Feng who was sitting beside him: "This is Master Li."

"Oh, Jiu Yang."

The next moment, Xue Haiyuan stared at the middle-aged attendant in ordinary attire and asked, "Where does this come from?"

There was an inexplicable silence in the room.

"Master Xue probably noticed it." After a long silence, the attendant slowly got up, bowed and saluted, and said slowly with a fluent Hebei accent: "My Xia Meng Qiaofang is the special envoy of Emperor Chongde. "

"Hehehe, I don't know who it is, it turned out to be Meng Shenzheng!"

At this moment, Xue Haiyuan finally matched the person in front of him with the historical data in his mind.

Chapter 708 The Daily Life of the Northern Trio (Seventeen)

Meng Qiaofang can be regarded as a veteran driver in the workplace.

At first, Meng Qiaofang was the lieutenant general of Ming Dynasty.In the end, he was accidentally fired by the company for finding a wrong place.

After being dismissed, Meng Qiaofang returned to her hometown Yongping, lay down and ate herself.

Due to the lack of supervision, the labor contract of Daming Company in those years belonged to the overlord clause.There is no N+1 for Meng Qiaofang's resignation, only 0+0.

Therefore, the dissatisfied deputy manager Meng found out that a new company was opening up the market, so he quickly handed in his resume: Meng Qiaofang was the first Ming army general who surrendered when Jin entered the customs for the first time after 1630.

Chairman Huang Taiji attaches great importance to this kind of benchmark figure.When summoned, he not only gave wine with a golden goblet, but also said: "I am different from the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. All my subjects will be given seats and eat together."

In this way, Deputy Manager Meng quickly gained a foothold in the new company.Later, when he returned to Liaoyang, Deputy Manager Meng resumed his post and was appointed as the leader of the Han Army Banner.

After that, Manager Meng's upward channel opened.First, when the chairman established the six departments, he was promoted to the Ministry of Justice to take charge of politics, and then he became emperor in Huang Taiji. This year when the company successfully IPO, he was appointed as the left of the Ministry of Justice to participate in politics.

In real history, Manager Meng will eventually enter the customs, fight all the way, and finally reach the pinnacle of life, becoming a member of the company, regional general manager: Governor of Shaanxi.

Meng Qiaofang devoted herself to serving as the governor of Shaanxi.

During his ten-year tenure, Mr. Meng went south and north, and gradually wiped out the large-scale armed forces in Guanzhong, including He Zhen.And assisted in the attack on Sichuan Zhang Xianzhong.

After that, Mr. Meng went all out to open up the market for the company. He was a key figure in the Qing government's pacification of Guanlong.

When it arrived, Mr. Meng died, and died of illness as the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, ending his career.Afterwards, the Qing court bestowed the posthumous title of Zhongyi.

In the eighth year of Yongzheng, Emperor Yongzheng built the Xianliang Temple, and Meng Qiaofang was enshrined in the temple, which is considered to be selected into the company's Hall of Fame.

Throughout history, although Meng Qiaofang's name is not obvious, in the professional circle of traitors, Meng is always a veritable king. His achievements are not inferior to those of Hong Chengchou, Wu Sangui and other famous traitors, and he is a member of the traitor group.

After going through this person's file in his mind, Xue Haiyuan smiled even wider: Since Chairman Chongde is willing to let a hard-core traitor like Meng Qiaofang come to the capital to take risks, he must attach great importance to this meeting.

It’s good to pay attention to it, but I’m afraid not to pay attention to it: “It turned out that Meng participated in politics, disrespect and disrespect.”

Seeing the other party's sudden realization, Meng Qiaofang was also very depressed.From being searched when he entered the door, he guessed that the other party had seen through his emissary identity.

Before he had time to think about what went wrong, when the other party heard his name, he even called out his official position.One must know that Meng Qiaofang had only obtained this official position in Shengjing not long ago.The other party is in the capital, but he can know such details!

The meaning behind the two simple exchanges made Meng Qiaofang more and more terrified.

Coughing, and lowering her head, Meng Qiaofang forcibly suppressed her negative emotions: He has something important to talk about today, and I'll talk about other things when I go back.

"I am here today to discuss important matters with you at the order of Emperor Chongde."

"Sit down and talk, sit down and talk."

Xue Haiyuan stretched out his hand to beckon the other party to sit down, then leaned back on the sofa, pretending to be listening attentively: "I would like to hear more about it."

"Nowadays, everyone in the world knows that Mr. Cao has become a thorn in the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen, and the Ming Court really can't tolerate Mr. Cao."

"Since that's the case, why don't Master Cao join hands with the Qing Dynasty and divide Zhu Ming's Huahua Jiangshan equally?"

Speaking of this, Meng Qiaofang simply reached out and took out a letter from her close-fitting pocket, and slowly pushed it in front of Xue Haiyuan along the glass tea table: "I have lost my virtue, and Emperor Chongde is willing to invite Uncle Zhongyong to discuss it. This is written by the emperor himself." letter."

Xue Haiyuan slowly stretched out a finger, gently pressed it on the letter, and slowly turned it: "It seems that these savages have really seen the Three Kingdoms."

No need to read, Xue Haiyuan also knew what was in the letter.It's nothing more than the set of Lian Sun Kangcao.

Although this routine is old, there are many examples of successful application in ancient and modern China and abroad. It is a classic three-party game theory.

However, the current national strength of the Great Yan Kingdom has already surpassed the sum of all the forces in the late Ming Dynasty... It is also admirable to dare to come to discuss cooperation with the nobles just like this!

"Participating in politics is really a simple statement."

Clearly expressing his stance, Xue Haiyuan tore open the envelope and pulled out the letter paper with a "stab" the next moment.

Before she could react from the surprise of hearing the words just now, Meng Qiaofang was shocked by Xue Haiyuan's actions... This is a private letter between two big bosses.

But the next moment he realized... Xue Haiyuan must have obtained sufficient authority in advance.

This judgment made Meng Qiaofang feel relieved: It seems that the Cao family has this intention a long time ago!

Meng Qiaofang was thinking over there, and it took Xue Haiyuan a while to read the letter.

Generally speaking, the content of the letter was similar to what he judged.The rest of the extra clauses, one, is that Emperor Chongde expressed his understanding of Mr. Cao's beheading of his elder brother by King Cao Beishangqin.

Second, Emperor Chongde made a solemn promise to Mr. Cao: the Cao and Qing families formed an alliance and made an appointment to march north and south.When in the future Zhu Ming Huahua Jiangshan is seized, everyone will rule the river and rule it, and it will be a country of brothers forever.

Looking at the red mud print at the end of the letter, "The Qing Emperor's Imperial Treasure", Xue Haiyuan couldn't help but shook his head with a smile: "Fan Jian, see Fan Jian again."

If the letter was intercepted by the Ming Emperor, it would be ironclad evidence, and the ordinary indigenous separatist forces would really be unbearable.

"The tricks of the ancients are really old and true!"

After confirming all the intentions of the other party's visit, Xue Haiyuan put away the letter and said solemnly: "Since Emperor Chongde is sincere, I will also report the situation."

Meng Qiaofang lifted her spirits: "I would like to hear the details."

"Actually, over the past few years, Chongzhen has become increasingly suspicious of Cao Shuai and has been oppressing him, which also chills his old man's heart... Sigh, I think my commander-in-chief spent half his life devotedly serving the country, but he never expected to end up like this."

Meng Qiaofang also shook her head and sighed when she heard the words: "Old Zhu's craftsmanship, let's stop this trick! It was passed down from our ancestors!"

"Don't be afraid to speak frankly." Xue Haiyuan crossed his legs: "In fact, we have been waiting for the envoy of the Qing Dynasty for a long time. Three days ago, I learned that I participated in politics and arrived at Chen's Leather Shop. I am very happy."

Meng Qiaofang's face tensed at first, and then he relaxed again: "I don't want to use some tricks, Xue Jingren has already learned about it... Hehe, good thing, it seems that the alliance between you and me is finalized."

"We do have this intention." Xue Haiyuan nodded in agreement: "It's just... there is a small problem right now."

"Oh?"

"Most of Cao Shuai's soldiers and horses are now destroying Haidong Alaska, and they won't be able to return for the time being."

"Oh I got it."

Meng Qiaofang stroked her beard with her hand and fell into deep thought.

……

Regarding the purpose of this meeting, before Meng Qiaofang set off from Shengjing, he and the newly enthroned Chongde Emperor Huang Taiji had many analyzes and discussions.

In terms of grand strategy, the best agreement that the Manchu and Qing Group can reach with the Cao family this time is that the Cao and Qing families will move north and south, and finally rule by the river.

The fundamental reason for proposing such a radical strategic decision is because of feeling the strength of the crossing forces.
