With the help of the future "Eight Majors", of course the Tartars and Wu Sangui who hit Taiyuan City will not lack anything!

Although those Jin merchants have no way to collect rent this year, they can't stand the fact that some people have money, and some have channels to purchase grain. If you directly take the silver out and buy it in the Fenhe River Valley, will you not be able to receive hundreds of thousands of millions of stones?

Moreover, after Li Zicheng ran to Taiyuan, he also strictly rectified discipline, did not allow his soldiers to do anything wrong, and resolutely implemented the line of "free grain and equal land", so that most of the peasants in Shanxi were full of enthusiasm to plant a season of wheat, which was more convenient for the Jin merchants to purchase.

In addition to grain, the Jin merchants in Shanxi also provided the Qing army with a large amount of high-quality gunpowder!

It is said that when Wu Sangui's subordinates were in the Ming army in Ningyuan, they had never seen such good gunpowder......

However, the Jin merchants were successful in the Qing Dynasty, which also facilitated Zhu Cihong's Jinyi guards to carry out spy and infiltration activities.

Because there are also many Shanxi salt merchants in Yangzhou, although these salt merchants have been from the southeast for one or two hundred years, they still have roots and relationships in their hometown of Shanxi. At the same time as Zhu Cihong raided the Four Salt Chiefs of Shanxi, he extended his tentacles to Shanxi by accepting the subordinates of the Four Salts Generals (that is, the bookkeepers, shopkeepers, and associates). The Jin merchants were a very large group, including not only the proprietors, but also the large and small associates - the criteria for dividing merchants in this era were different from those of later generations, which mainly referred to individual businesses and capitalists, excluding employees. And in ancient times, the guys, like Dong Weng, were merchants.

In addition, those merchants in the Ming and Qing dynasties were accustomed to using fellow villagers. The Hui Gang is all from southern Anhui, the Jin Gang is from Laoxi, the Chao Gang is from Chaozhou, the Ningbo merchants are from Ningbo, and Zheng Zhilong is basically from Fujian.

And Lin Yihu, the thousand households of Jinyiwei, is now incarnated as Jia Busi, the young owner of the Pingyao Jia family (this name sounds awesome), holding the gift list, and laughing into Wu Sangui's handsome tent.

Wu Sangui had just come back from his camp patrol, and saw a businessman standing in his handsome tent with a smile, his brows furrowed, "Liu Sheng, what's the matter?" ”

Yes, King Ben Pingxi is busy, where is the kung fu and an old Western businessman talking nonsense? If you want to pay a bribe, Liu Sheng can deal with it himself.

"Lord Wang," Liu Sheng smiled and handed over a gift list, "Please take a look." ”

"Alas......" Wu Sangui just shook his head, but he still took the gift slip in his hand, pretended to open it and looked at it, and then he was stunned!

Because there is a piece of stationery sandwiched in the gift list, the letter paper is full of words, it is Zhu Cihong's notes!

"Stand down, step down!" Wu Sangui closed the gift list, reprimanded left and right, and then sat down behind the handsome case, opened the gift list, took out the letter paper and looked at it carefully.

When I saw it, I was stunned again.

"This is not for this king......" he looked up at Ren Yizhou, "Your messenger has gone to the wrong place, this letter is addressed to Liu Liangzuo!" ”

Lin Yihu smiled and arched his hand, "Lord Wang, the letter is addressed to General Liu Bing, but this is a copy, and Lord Chitose asked the lower officials to send it to the prince." In addition, there are copies of two letters written to Xu Zongbing and Yanzhou Liu Zongbing, which were also brought by the lower officials. ”

"What?" Wu Sangui was confused, what does Zhu Cihong mean?

He looked down at the letter, and after a moment his face changed.

"This, this, this, this ......" he raised his head and looked at Lin Yihu, "When did this king say that he wanted to do it anyway?" ”

Lin Yihu smiled: "How does the lower official know? As he spoke, he took out three more envelopes and handed them to Wu Sangui with both hands, "Lord Wang, this is a letter to General Xu and General Liu of Yanzhou, and there is also a letter written to you by Master Chitose." ”

"Hurry up and get it...... Take Chitose's letter to this king! "Wu Sangui is a little anxious, how can Zhu Cihong scribble?

Not to mention that now is not the time to strike back, even if it is, you can't tell Liu Liangzuo, Liu Zeqing, and Xu Dingguo! Are they tight-lipped? Will it leak the news to Dolgon?

Lin Yihu took out the letter written by Zhu Cihong to Wu Sangui and handed it over, which was contained in a sealed envelope. Wu Sangui tore open the envelope, took out the stationery inside, read it carefully, and slapped the table.

"Chitose Lord harms me, Chitose Lord harms me......"

Liu Sheng looked at Wu Sangui, "Lord Wang, what's the matter?" ”

"What else?" Wu Sangui was so anxious that he was about to shed tears, "He arranged three Jiang Gan for this king!" Three...... He also wrote to this king, telling this king to be careful, because Liu Liangzuo, Liu Zeqing, and Xu Dingguo are all unreliable, and it is likely that they have contact with Tartar! ”

Liu Liangzuo was born in the Liao Army, and there are people in the family who are traitors, Wu Sangui knows them, and he doesn't believe them if he doesn't contact the ghost! And Liu Zeqing and Xu Dingguo are also warlords on one side, and it is conceivable how many boats they have on their feet.

Now that the situation on the battlefield seems to be unfavorable to the Qing army, those three warlords who have two boats on their feet may not immediately expose Wu Sangui, once the situation is reversed, what will they do is not obvious?

As for whether the situation will be reversed, Wu Sangui has no doubt at all! He has fought many times with both the Tartars and the Liukou, and he knows the details of these two.

Wu Sangui really wanted to cry without tears, "He, he, he...... Isn't that meant to hurt me? He's still my brother-in-law! How could he ...... like that"

Liu Sheng reminded: "Lord Wang, the prince of the Ming Dynasty is a ruthless man, he imprisoned his father and chased his younger brother, and when he arrived in the southeast, he also copied the homes of four Shanxi Yanzong, and also killed ninety percent of the nobles and ministers of Nanjing......"

That's right! He's ruthless! He even cheats his father and younger brother, will he still care about himself? Wu Sangui pressed his hand on his forehead and said: How did you forget this stubble!

"What the hell does Chitose mean?" Wu Sangui looked at the messenger Lin Yihu and asked, "Does he want to force me to do it anyway?" But there's no urgency! The 30,000 men of the two white flags of the Tartars are staring at me, and even if I can't beat them anyway, I'm just looking for death......"

Lin Yihu shook his head, "Lord Wang, Xia Guan is just a thousand households in brocade clothes, what knowledge can he have?" However, Xia Guan believes that Chitose Ye must take a fancy to the prince, and he will definitely not force the prince to die. ”

Wu Sangui rolled his eyelids, he was now on the road to death!

Liu Sheng, who was on the side, walked up to Wu Sangui's ear at this time and whispered: "Don't worry, the prince is in a hurry, his subordinates just thought of a way out......

Is there a way out?

Wu Sangui just wanted to ask, but he saw Lin Yihu, and Zhu Cihong's envoy hated it when he saw it!

"Jia Shangcha went to rest first." Wu Sangui said to Liu Sheng, "Liu Sheng, you send him out." ”

"Whoa." Liu Sheng answered, turned around and sent Lin Yihu out of Wu Sangui's big tent, and turned back after a while.

"Say it, say it!" When Wu Sangui saw him coming back, he asked questions repeatedly.

"Lord Wang," Liu Sheng took a topographic map of Shanxi and spread it on the desk in front of Wu Sangui, "How do you look at the route?" ”

He drew a line on the map with his fingers, and went south from Taigu into Qinzhou, Lu'an, and Zezhou, and crossed Wangwushan to Huaiqing Mansion.

"Is this going to be inserted behind the rogue Eastern Route Army?" Wu Sangui frowned.

"Lord Wang, as long as you enter Henan Mansion, it will be a tiger entering the deep mountains and a dragon swimming in the sea!" Liu Shengdao, "Now is the opportunity...... It's better than waiting for us in Taiyuan City! ”

"Can the Lord Regent agree?" Wu Sangui hesitated.

"You don't have to agree to the regent," Liu Sheng said, "as long as Prince Yu and Prince Ying can agree...... Now the news from Shanxi and Jingshi is intermittent, and the two of them must be uncertain, if the prince is willing to send troops to copy the back road of Liukou, they will definitely agree.

Besides, the relationship between the prince and the prince of the Ming Dynasty is not a secret, how can they really rest assured? I'm afraid I can't wait for the prince to lead the troops south! Taiyuan here is nothing more than a siege, whether there are 30,000 people with or without the prince, in fact, there is not much difference. It's nothing more than that Chen Yongfu is easy to break through, and Taiyuan Mansion City can still be taken down by the soldiers of the two white flags.

And as long as the prince arrives in Henan Mansion, it can be attacked, retreated and defended, and it is easy to deal with all parties. ”

Wu Sangui thought about it for a while, and then sighed, "It seems that it can only be like this......"
