Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

Good plan!

Li Chengdong looked at his adopted son happily.

This is to take the knife handed by the opponent, kill the opponent without saying a word, and then give Dorgon behind him a sneaky kick!

Cattle!

With this one shot and three eagles, you're going to be a thief!

"You boy!"

Li Chengdong patted his adopted son on the shoulder:

"If a snake swallows an elephant, let the second child do it.

As for the secret plot against Chen Cang, I leave it to you!

Dad, I will stay here and play with you!

Let’s see who is the smarter one, or our master! "

"Go here, baby!"

Li Yuanyin took his second brother Li Jianjie and ran to the side to mutter...

Although Li Yuanyin is only an adopted son, the two brothers have a very good relationship.

After Li Yuanyin committed suicide, Qing soldiers rushed to the city.

When Li Jianjie heard that his eldest brother had committed suicide, he was so distraught that he shouted:

"Brother is dead, I can't bear to live alone!"

He refused the Qing court's invitations to surrender several times and was killed in Guangzhou.

……

The soldiers moved quickly.

In just a few words, the messenger was searched and brought to Li Chengdong.

The messenger knelt on the ground, flapped his horse-hoove sleeves, and followed the Qing court's three-bow-and-nine-kowtow ceremony:

"Slave Shen Chenggui, pays homage to General Li."

Li Chengdong sat on the horse with a sneer on his lips:

"Surnamed Shen?

Are you the servant of Shen Zhixiang from Pi Dao? "

Shen Chenggui nodded hurriedly:

"General Mingjian, the young one is my master's servant, and he asked me to tell the general.

As long as the general doesn't march in and camp on the spot, my master will have silver to send. "

"Ha ha!"

Li Chengdong shook his neck a few times and glanced behind him subconsciously, only to see his two sons heading towards the rear with their guards.

He was very relieved about his adopted son Li Yuanyin.

"Tell me, what benefit can Shen Zhixiang give me?"

Shen Chenggui, who was kneeling on the ground, saw Li Chengdong's eyes and looked in that direction.

I saw two young generals riding towards the south with twenty or thirty soldiers.

Shen Chenggui thought Li Chengdong was reporting to Xuzhou, so he didn't pay attention.

Upon hearing Li Chengdong's inquiry, he tentatively said:

"So that the general will know. My master said that as long as the general is willing to camp on the spot, he will give 30 grain silver as a reward."

Shen Zhixiang told him when he came.

When talking about business, naturally you can't reveal your trump card right away.

Although he had decided to pay one hundred thousand silver an hour in exchange for Li Chengdong's stay.

But—whose money is blown by the strong wind?

The Shen family's money was also stolen from ordinary people's homes with swords and guns!

This kind of money is not easy to earn!

Asking prices all over the sky, repaying the money on the spot.

Being able to pay less for travel expenses...

Why waste more words?

"30 million..."

Li Chengdong sneered:

"Are the 30 men under my command only worth [-]?

Or—Shen Zhixiang thinks that I, Li Chengdong, will not be able to get a knighthood?

30?

You want me to stop too!

Shen Zhixiang is really brave! "

Li Chengdong was really angry.

Although he had already seen through Dorgon's intentions, he was determined to take advantage of it.

However, as a military commander, who wants to be looked down upon?

30, and you want to bribe him?

If the emperor hadn't rebuilt the Ming Dynasty before - 30, staying for a period of time would naturally be a good thing Li Chengdong could not ask for!

but!

Things are different now!

Li Chengdong's reaction was not conceited, but...

It's almost the end of the year again.

According to the practice of His Majesty the Emperor, he will definitely award a group of nobles again on the New Year's Day!

I don’t have the military merit to be knighted…

At this time, he was in need of military merit.

30……

He might as well kill Shen Zhixiang directly!

Li Chengdong said with a gloomy face:

"Go back and tell Shen Zhixiang that I, Mr. Li, am not a beggar!

It’s only 30, but you want me to stop buying it?

Let him wash his neck and let me take it off with my own hands! "

Seeing that he was about to suffer, Shen Chenggui hurriedly spoke again:

"General calm down!

General, calm down!

As the saying goes, business cannot be done without righteousness. Business should be discussed slowly.

As a general, if the general stays for a day, how much money will he need? "

"Oh?"

Li Chengdong's thoughts changed:

Could it be that this old boy also brought a lot of money?

Damn it!

Let the second child arrange it quickly, I will grab it all for him!

He was coveting Shen Zhixiang's money in his heart, but Li Chengdong remained calm on his face.

He sneered:

"Shen Zhixiang wants me not to hit him, so he naturally has to come up with something that satisfies me!

You were sent by Shen Zhixiang, don’t you even understand this truth?

30……

Ha ha!

I might as well take Shen Zhixiang's head with my own hands! "

Shen Chenggui said hurriedly:

"General!

Since ancient times, the battlefield has been dangerous and dangerous. When two armies fought, it was inevitable that there would be casualties.

Even if the general can definitely defeat my master, he should still think about the soldiers under his command. "

"is it?

What if I destroy you and gain more than you pay? "

Li Chengdong leaned forward and stared into Shen Chenggui's eyes:

"My Ming Dynasty has its own military merit reward system.

A real Tartar head is worth ten silver dollars.

This is not even a classy person!

Just you soldiers, how much money do you think I can bring in?

Besides, Shen Zhixiang had already joined the Zhengbai Banner and was granted the title of Duke Xushun by Donglu.

tsk tsk!

This is the Duke of the country! "

Li Chengdong smiled evilly:

"His head is worth 50 silver dollars!"

Li Chengdong squinted his eyes and glanced at the battalion opposite.

As a 20-year veteran of the army, he could judge the number of opponents with just one glance.

"Shen Zhixiang brought 5000 people, right?

If I kill you, the minimum reward will be a viscount.

How much do you think I, the Viscount of the Ming Dynasty, am worth? "

Shen Chenggui trembled all over.

As a former Ming army, he naturally knows that the nobles of the Ming Dynasty are the real power and wealth inherited from generation to generation!

Although the viscount is low, he has jumped out of the ranks of generals!

This... is indeed priceless!

Li Chengdong chuckled:

“As you said, there is no business that is off limits.

As long as the money is high enough, Viscount...

Can I not be in a hurry?

Since Shen Zhixiang asked you to come and buy a road, he naturally gave you authority.

Tell me, how much are you worth? "

Shen Chenggui's heart sank suddenly.

He understood what Li Chengdong meant!

It’s not that you can’t spend money to buy roads…

It’s about getting value for money!

That is to say-

Li Chengdong’s asking price is too high!

After calculating this, I am afraid that without 300 million silver, it would be difficult to win over Li Chengdong.

And the bottom line his master gave him was 150 million taels of silver...

Shen Chenggui took a breath and gritted his teeth and said:

"So that General Li will know, as long as the general is willing to stay for one day.

I am willing to persuade my master to give the general 130 million taels of silver as a gift..."
