Wang He lit a cigarette, and then said slowly: "Since the beginning of Wanli, the image of the death of the country has begun to appear. ☆→ Peak☆→ Point☆→ Xiao☆→ said that Chongzhen's ascension to the throne was actually relatively accidental, and his fate was originally just a vassal king, and he was never cultivated as an emperor. From the fact that he killed the eunuchs and made the Donglin family dominant, it can be seen that he does not have the imperial thinking of maintaining the balance of the court at all.

After the seventeen-year-old Chongzhen ascended the throne, the situation had become more and more corrupt. When the country was in deficit for many years and the military salaries of the border army could not be paid, most of the civil officials advised the emperor to increase the agricultural tax of the people, but advised Chongzhen to reduce the commercial tax. The reason is simple, scholars do not have to pay agricultural taxes. Coupled with the Xiaoice River period, the north has been in drought for many years, and the death of the Ming Dynasty can be said to be inevitable. So we don't need to rush to fight with Da Ming, at least not for now.

This time the Ming sent a mission, it seems that the Ming Dynasty also does not want to fight, after all, we are not alien in the eyes of the Ming princes, and we can be regarded as descendants of the Song family, and the feudal country of Liaodong does not lose the dignity of the Ming Dynasty. Maybe it may be the Ming Dynasty's strategy to delay the army, and want to use this time to make great efforts, and one day when the army is strong and strong, the army will send Liaodong to recover the Liaotu. Hehe......

So my opinion is to simply send Fan Wencheng to the Daling River and let him represent us in the Far East to deal with the Ming gang, but the Ming mission is not allowed to cross the river, so get out of here as soon as the canonization is over. What should we do in Liaodong, we don't have any tribute or anything anyway. In short, in a word, the Far East recognizes the canonization of the Ming Dynasty, but we will not do anything, and if we are not satisfied, we will come and fight well. ”

After listening to Wang He's words, everyone did not immediately express their opinions. Many people have obvious unwillingness on their faces. Li Ming thought for a while and said: "I agree with Lao Wang's opinion, we have just occupied Liaodong, and the top priority is to digest the fruits of victory and large-scale construction. It is not in our interests to confront Da Ming, Da Ming is willing to seal it, since they want a step, we will give it to him. ”

Gao Jianguo said with a solemn face: "In a few years, there will be a great drought in Chongzhen." The seedlings are withered, and the crops are gone. Shanxi Fenshui and Zhanghe rivers are depleted. The nine rivers of Hebei are dry, and Baiyangdian is dry. This phenomenon of depletion and drying up of rivers is everywhere, and cannibalism will also occur. In 1640, the drought in Shanxi, Shaanxi, Hebei, Shandong, and Henan was accompanied by locust plagues and plagues.

At that time, it was the best time for us to put pressure on Daming. We pushed all the way to Shanhaiguan and approached the Ming Jingshi. The Ming Dynasty could only gather troops and horses from all walks of life to garrison the Beijing Division, and the peasant rebel armies such as Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong could also develop and grow smoothly in the Central Plains. Then let's sit and wait for the broken ship of Daming to sink slowly. ”

Everyone also expressed their opinions, and most of them agreed with Wang He's opinion. Indeed, as Gao Jianguo said, at present, being tough with Daming is vindictive, and there is no value at all. After a few years of the great drought in Chongzhen, it was not too late for the Far East to show its fangs again.

Next, all the members voted collectively, and Tiyì, who temporarily accepted the canonization of the Ming Dynasty, won a majority. As soon as the meeting ended, several members of the Standing Committee of the Board of Directors gathered again, and they asked Fan Wencheng to come over.

Fan Wencheng was also very worried during this time. Ning Wanme, Ma Guozhu and others have been characterized as traitors and may have been sentenced to hanging. So during this time, he was walking on thin ice, for fear that he would do something wrong and be found by the masters of the Far East.

Since the Ethnic Affairs Committee came to Shenyang to establish the Liaodong Management Committee, Fan Wencheng was assigned to the Labor Insurance Department of the General Office of the Management Committee. He had only been in the office for a few days, and he could feel some disdain for him in the eyes of the heads of the office.

This also made Fan Wencheng even more worried, and now he is not only following the Far East Company. There's really no second way to go. Moreover, the Far Eastern Company is strong, and it will definitely have the strength to seize the world in the future. He followed the Far East and had the merit of the dragon, how could Fan Wencheng give up such an opportunity.

His current work is very tedious, and he has no idle time every day, and he has to run around almost every day, often going deep into the grassroots squadron. Although the work is very hard, Fan Wencheng also truly carries forward the spirit of the old scalper. Get up early and get dark every day, and work diligently.

After more than a month of diligent work, he found that the attitude of the heads of the office towards him had also changed. This also made Fan Wencheng more motivated. He not only worked hard every day, but also paid special attention to the way the leaders spoke and did things every day. When I got home, I summed it up seriously and practiced it repeatedly, but it only took more than a month to make it look like half a modern person.

Even the company employees in the general office were dumbfounded by Fan Wencheng's changes. This guy is too godly. It's only been a long time, and it's still like that compared to those Liao people who have been with them for more than a year.

Today, Fan Wencheng had just returned from delivering goods from other places, and he was approached by the head of the general office. He followed the head of the office to the small conference room of the management committee, and when he went in, he almost scared Fan Wencheng to death, and the people sitting inside were actually the eight managing directors of the Far Eastern Company.

Although Fan Wencheng did not stay in the Far East Company for a long time, he had already found out the personnel situation of various departments of the Far East Company through various means. Know what the position of the Far Eastern "Nine" is in the Far East.

As soon as the initial tension passed, it was followed by an incomparable ecstasy in the heart. It seems that the Far East is going to use me.

Wang He smiled and said to Fan Wencheng: "Xiao Fan, you sit down first, you don't have to be nervous, I came to you today to discuss something with you." ”

Where did Fan Wencheng dare to sit, and hurriedly signaled not to. But Wang He stood up, pulled him to the seat next to him, sat down, and poured him a glass of water. Fan Wencheng was flattered and put half of his buttocks, straightened his waist and sat there in a proper manner.

"Although you have taken a detour before, you were able to abandon the darkness and join our Far East Company, and made a great contribution to our liberation of Liaodong, but in the end you still did not become a sinner of the nation. Since you came to our Far East, you have been working diligently and hard, and the comrades in the General Office have spoken highly of you, and we are very pleased. I hope you will continue to work hard in the future and strive for greater results. ”

Fan Wencheng listened to Wang He's words, and tears were about to flow down with excitement, it seems that he was right, the most important thing here in the Far East is to do things well, and the rest is really useless.

He choked up excitedly and said, "Thank you for your concern, I will definitely work harder in the future." ”

Li Ming and Gao Jianguo glanced at each other, and they also saw a look of surprise in each other's eyes. He shook his head and sighed in his heart, this Fan Wencheng is really not simple, there is definitely a reason why he can become a big traitor. Born in a literati, he actually cleaned up the sour breath on his body so quickly.

Wang He was also stunned for a moment, he sighed secretly in his heart, such a good comrade, but why are you a big traitor. If there is no such historical stain, no matter how bad the character is, it can be used well.

He smiled and said, "In view of the fact that your work schedule has been good recently, our Ethnic Affairs Committee has decided to adjust your work after study, and you will report to the Mission Department in the next step." ”

When Fan Wencheng heard this, his heart immediately became excited. He has specialized in studying several departments in the Far East, and the Ministry of Missions is equivalent to the Ministry of Rites of the Ming Dynasty, which is much stronger than the other party he is staying in now.

The mission department is more flickering with its mouth, far more than the labor insurance department is doing those physical jobs, getting up early every day and running around in the dark, which is really not a human job.

Wang He saw the look on Fan Wencheng's face, smiled, and then continued: "There is a task that you need to complete now, that is, to go to Daling River immediately and negotiate with the Daming Mission. Hehe...... Daming Chongzhen sent an embassy to canonize our Far East. ”

Fan Wencheng thought for a moment, and then said solemnly: "If you negotiate with the Great Tomorrow Envoy, I don't know what the company can explain." ”

Gao Jianguo next to him said in a deep voice: "After you go, you can't let them cross the river, as long as you take the canonization edict, you will complete the task." As for attitude? My request to you is four words, neither humble nor arrogant! ”

Li Ming also smiled and said: "If the other party asks to cross the river to Shenyang to canonize it, you will think that the remnants of the Tartars have not been cleared up, and if you cross the river, you are afraid of disturbing the Great Tomorrow Envoy." ”

Fan Wencheng understood everything when he heard it, and he said with a smile: "Please rest assured that Wen Cheng will be worth the trip." ”

Wang He said with a smile: "Then it's hard for you, you can set off as much as possible, and the Daling River garrison will guarantee your safety at that time." ”

Fan Wencheng left the conference room, and Gao Jianguo sighed and said: "Paralyzed, it's a pity that he has a lot of ability, what he doesn't do well, he has to be a traitor." ”

Wang He smiled bitterly: "Such a person, even if he is not a traitor, his character is not much better." Famous ministers through the ages are not necessarily all people of high character. People of high moral character often fail to achieve too high a position. There are a lot of talented and unvirtuous people, it depends on how we use them. ”

Fan Wencheng came out of the conference room and came to the Ministry of Propaganda and Education to report, and Ni Haiping, deputy director of the Ministry of Mission, received him, explained to him the task this time, and put forward some requirements for him.

In order to meet the occasion, the Ministry of Propaganda asked Fan Wencheng to wear a Ming robe with a hood on his head, just like a Ming literati. He also specially sent two special combat team members to protect him closely, and then flew to the Dalinghe garrison area in a helicopter of the company.

A new military camp was built along the western bank of the Daling River, where the Ming mission was stationed. The Ming mission was mainly envoy to Wu Chengyan of the Ministry of Rites, Huang Daozhou and Sun Shiyue, the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, as the deputy envoy, and there were more than 20 Ming officials of the Han Academy who accompanied him, Huang Jin.

In addition, there are more than 100 people in the entourage of various honor guards and guards. The Guanning Army also sent 3,000 cavalry to escort the Ming Mission here, in fact, it was just to embolden them. The leader of the team was Wu Xiang, a famous tiger general in the Guanning army, and he also brought his son with him, that is, Wu Sangui, a traitor who was known to everyone in later generations.
