No one was lighting cigarettes, so Jia Liu lit it himself. After all, he had the skills himself.

I was enjoying the feeling of being a leading cadre who was used to being served by others in Beijing. Suddenly I felt like an ordinary person again, and I was a little uncomfortable for a while.

I lit the cigarette, took a deep puff, and then puffed it out gently. The feeling that had disappeared for a long time suddenly came back.

"When the situation has reached this point, we can no longer fight lightly. Whether it is collaboration with the enemy or traitor, it is difficult to argue the right and wrong, but you should note that it was the ancient battlefield of Xiangyang that determined the rise and fall of many generations of dynasties.

, one rises and another falls...

Far away, the soldiers and civilians of the Southern Song Dynasty are here to block the Mongolian army. Recently, Li Zicheng's Dashun Army is here to establish a strategic decisive battle with the Ming Dynasty. Now we are leading the army here. It is also related to the prosperity of the country and the nation. Therefore, whether the situation can be calmed down as soon as possible needs to be

Please cooperate fully! If not, you and I will both be sinners of the country!"

Jia Liu slowly looked around at the generals, his eyes full of expectation.

If these beloved generals he brought out by himself don't understand him and are unwilling to support him, then he really has no choice but to restart the stove and bring Asha, Quinny, Jin Jian, Enming and the gang of old men to the Green Camp.

Come to oppose the Eight Banners and rebuild the New Qing Dynasty that belongs to him.

The generals were silent for a moment, and then Bao Guozhong asked: "I wonder how the captain wants us to cooperate?"

"Just obey, obey, and obey again! I allow you to have opinions, but your opinions must be reserved. You must first execute my military orders unconditionally!"

Jia Liu's words were harsher.

This time he was in charge because of the tight schedule and heavy tasks, so he planned to solve the problem at once, and then go back to find the old rich man, Mr. Se and the old four devils to fight the landlord, and strive to complete the yellow robe incarnation ceremony in the 42nd year of Qianlong's reign.

In this way, counting from the time he started working, it was a full five years.

It took five years to complete the magnificent transformation from a non-staff member to a national elder. Jia Liu felt that this achievement belonged to the ancient times and the present, and was unique to Scorpion Baba. No Taizu or Taizong in history could compare with him, and it was enough for him.

Be proud forever.

Now, it depends on whether this group of generals who want to advance together can firmly implement his strategic plan and whether they can pay attention to his good intentions.

The problem was that Zu Yingyuan raised a question: "Captain, you are already a general and a king, and you are still betraying the country?"

The implication is that you want to save face and do something that matches your status. Don't ruin the title of General Wang, who is second only to the emperor in the Qing Dynasty.

"Yes, what else can be sold? Three provinces have been sold to them, so we can't sell the Forbidden City to them too."

Wang Fu and the others also expressed confusion and didn't know what the captain was thinking.

It can be said that half of the military power of the Qing Dynasty is now in the hands of the captain. It is unjustifiable to betray the country after being so awesome.

To be fair, shouldn't you, the great general Wang, lead them to kill all the enemies, and then return to Beijing with the power of victory to completely eliminate the Eight Banners of Manchu and Mongolia, thereby realizing the ambition you promised in Jinchuan - to make the Han army great again?

Let the Eight Banners become the Eight Banners of the Han army, and let the Qing Dynasty become the Qing Dynasty of the Han army!

Madrid also felt that it was a bit embarrassing to continue to live like this, and Digu said: "Sir, if I can do it without selling it, then I won't sell it. As long as you say it, sir, we Sauron will fight for you!"

Jia Liu was displeased: "Fight? Are you good at fighting? Can you fight with me?"

"It's definitely better than that bunch of Eight Banners trash that your Excellency brought!"

Madri was not convinced. He had fought with Hailancha all over the country. He had hundreds of Saurons under his command, and one of them could stand up to ten. Why couldn't he fight?

An Lu, another general who was born in Sauron, also felt the same way. To be honest, Mr. Jia was kind enough to Sauron, but he was a bit too much, so nice that they themselves were embarrassed.

If he continued to eat and not work like this every day, An Lu suspected that the Sauron people would no longer be able to fight.

"I know what I told you before. If we can't fight, we won't fight. If we can talk, we can talk. We are all Chinese. Why can't we sit down and negotiate to solve it?

We can only talk about things we can’t get on the battlefield at the negotiation table. If we keep shouting and killing, in the end it’s not the people who will die, nor the soldiers under your command..."

Jia Liu ignored Madrid, who clamored for a fight. He still adhered to the established general policy of putting political solution first and force solution second.

Only when the political solution reaches a dead end will the military solution be put on the agenda.

Even if it is a dead end, he will break a hole in the wall!

This is the basic quality that a qualified politician and a qualified leader should possess.

At the feet of the king, there may not necessarily be millions of corpses lying on the ground, but they may also be full of vitality, with all things competing.

The lessons of China's thousands of years of historical development told Jia Liu that if he wanted to break the curse of prosperity and decline, which brought suffering to all people, he had to break out of the circle of dynasties and try something that no one had ever dared to do.

This was an opportunity for the Han army to rise, an opportunity for the Qing Dynasty, and an opportunity for Jia Liu himself.

He is not a middle-aged boy who insists on fighting a civil war to level up monsters.

Wang Fu hesitated for a moment and said: "Captain, even if we want to talk, we can't betray our country..."

Jia Liu explained: "The traitor I am talking about is not traitor in the paper sense, but rather complex and deep-seated traitor. Broadly speaking, this traitor is actually an expression of patriotism. It is just the way of expression and the effect it shows.

It’s different, but the ultimate goal is the same... In short, treason is not guilty!"

Is being traitorous actually synonymous with being patriotic?

Not guilty of treason?!

The captain's fresh theory made everyone's brains confused for a while, even Zu Yingyuan couldn't keep up.

After all, I haven't had contact with Guiziliu for more than two years, and my ideological level is indeed far behind and degraded.

Chang Bingzhong scratched his head: "Liu Zi, we don't study well, don't fool us."

How could Jia Liu deceive his beloved general? This was his true thought.

From the day he met these people, everything he said was true.

Zu Yingyuan asked the key: "Then how can the captain be patriotic...and how can he be traitorous?"

Jia Liu said frankly that through a series of conditions, the Xinghan Army could change its banner and the Tongjinhui would be fully integrated.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The two families have become one family.

There are currently three favorable conditions that can facilitate this.

First, the family records of the key members of the Xinghan Army were in the hands of Jia Liu.

Not long ago, when the Qianqing Palace held a voting meeting, Wang Jie, the censor of the right capital, impeached Jia Liu for collaborating with the enemy. This was included in the evidence.

Second, the armed forces of at least three armies in the Xinghan Army were under orders from Gongjinhui, that is, under orders from Jia Liu;

Representative figures include Ma Dayuan, Zhou Linwang and Guo Guangde.

The three of them are now military commanders in the Xinghan Army. Among them, Zhou Linwang also serves as the vanguard of the Xinghan Army in attacking the lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

However, he strictly implemented the secret orders in the meeting and did not use any force when attacking the important downstream town of Anqing, which allowed the Qing army from Nanjing to arrive in Anqing in time. Otherwise, the Han army would have already arrived in Nanjing, forming the situation when Zheng Chenggong entered the Yangtze River. Momentum.

In that case, things can't be settled and there won't even be a chance to talk.

Thirdly, Jia Liu was a life-saving benefactor to the Xinghan Army. If he had not spoken secretly, the Ming Dynasty survivors who had been trapped in Xiaojinchuan for a hundred years would never have been able to break into the new world of Huguang.

However, only Gu Zhengdao, the commander-in-chief of the Xinghan Army, knew this. Only a few of the others knew about it, and most of them did not.

Gu Zhengdao is Yuanyuan's father, Jia Liu's father-in-law, and Keqing's grandfather, so as long as Gu Zhengdao remembers this family affection and life-saving grace, things can still develop in a good direction.

Focusing on these three favorable conditions, and making some sincere compromises, the merger of Ninghan and Han may not be impossible. With the full support of the Xinghan Army, the landlord Jia Liu will definitely be able to bring the old rich, the uncle, and the fourth. A farmer fought until he vomited blood.

After hearing this, Wang Fu shook his head: "Captain, today is different from the past, I'm afraid people may not be willing to listen to us."

This is also a fact. When the Xinghan Army protruded from Xiaojinchuan, its backbone strength was only about 3,000 people. But now it has three provinces and more than 100,000 troops. It has even formed an overwhelming advantage over the Qing Army in some areas. It can be said that The subject and object are completely reversed. It is a bit foolish to say that pointing to those family documents and the grace of saving lives can force the Xinghan army to surrender.

As for the few battalions of soldiers and horses that have been thrown in, it is impossible not to be wary, and they may not be of much use at the critical moment.

Before the captain arrived, Wang Fu and others had analyzed the war, and they all believed that when the matter reached this stage, not only could they no longer secretly fund the Xinghan Army and release water to help it grow as before, but they must close the net and carry out a devastating blow to the Xinghan Army. , otherwise no one knows which direction the situation will develop.

Metaphorically speaking, the Xinghan Army was originally a lone wolf eager to survive, but now it has turned into a vicious tiger that bites people.

Therefore, Zhang Dabiao and others wanted to get rid of Hubei Governor Zheng Dajin in order to integrate money, power, military and food.

The reason why Feng Sheng'e was unable to achieve success in the past was that under the influence of the Gongjinhui, the Qing army units participating in the encirclement and suppression had their own agendas, and the command power was not centralized.

This lesson must be guarded against.

"It doesn't matter. How do you know that others don't want to talk about it? The Xinghan Army is now prosperous, but their foundation is weak. Although they have more soldiers and horses than before, in my opinion, their combat effectiveness is not as good as before..."

Jia Liu's mental value for the success of the negotiation was 50-50.

The reason is as he said, the Xinghan Army is also full of internal conflicts and there are many mountains. Moreover, although they occupy the territory of three provinces, they are still surrounded by the Qing army and fail to establish a stable base. To some extent, they are similar to Li Zicheng back then.

, looks very similar to Zhang Xianzhong.

It looks big and strong, but in reality it is strong on the outside but weak on the inside.

As long as the Qing army achieved a victory, even if it was only a small victory in a local area, it might be a major blow to the Xinghan army.

Therefore, as long as Jia Liu is willing to extend an olive branch and is willing to exchange some price for peace and complete cooperation between the two parties, the negotiation has a half chance of success.

Even if there was only a 20% chance, he would still give it a try.

Personally, Jia Liu was reluctant to suppress the forces that opposed the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty.

So far, his achievements have been entirely based on the corpses of Eight Banners soldiers.

"I think the captain is a bit wishful thinking. The question now is not whether to talk or not, but that the people's wings are strong and they want to establish an institution and build a country!"

Zu Yingyuan said that news came from the other side that the upper echelons of the Xinghan Army intended to support a descendant of Zhu Ming as emperor. It was said that he was a descendant of Queen Minggui named Zhu Shaogong. Chen Huizu, the governor of Huguang who had been sent there, was lobbying the major military commanders of the Xinghan Army for this purpose.

, very positive.

Chen Huizu and the equally spineless Hunan governor Bayan San also contacted a group of people to propose to Gu Zhengdao, the commander-in-chief of the Xinghan Army, requesting the restoration of the Ming Dynasty and gathering the main force to march eastward along the Yangtze River to attack Nanjing.
