Chapter 317: Trembling, Walking on Thin Ice

Yan Jing sold tea in the mountains of Sichuan and Yunnan in the past, and did the Tuo tea business in Yunnan, not only to Fujian and Guangdong, but also to the Kham Tibetan area. Gesang Dunzhu is the son of the head of the Muli tribe and an old "customer" of Yan Jing.

Kelsang Tondrup didn't know what to do, but his father was preparing a gift, saying that the male Lazang Khan was going to marry whoever he wanted, and they had to congratulate them, and who and who were the enemies of life and death with the Qing people. 【1】

The relationship between the Kham Tibetan region and the Qing court has always been one of harmony, and as long as the leaders of the various departments put on a deferential posture of serving the Qing court, the Qing court has always been reluctant to do too much. However, there were constant conflicts between the Han-Tibetan and even Kham tribes, and the Qing court had to intervene, and the specific tactics were to support one faction and fight another.

The Muli Department is in the territory of Ningyuan Prefecture, Sichuan, and there has always been a dispute between the former and the rear department over pastures, water and grass. Considering that the Muli Department and the Batang Litang Department of Yazhou Prefecture in the north are in the same line, the Qing court magistrates owed a lot of blood debts to the Muli Department in order to suppress the powerful and always unruly Batang Litang Department, and did not ask the reason.

In Gesang Dunzhu's view, whoever troubles the Qing court is a friend of their Muli department. When the male Razang Khan had dealings with the sworn enemies of the Qing court, Muribu was very happy. But this matter is too far away from them, and nothing good can fall on their small tribe. Through the men sent by Yan Jing to the mountains of Sichuan and Yunnan to regain their old business, Gesang Dunzhu learned about Guangdong, so he went straight to Wuzhou to find Yan Jing, wanting to borrow the power of Li Shi. When the Qing court was dealing with Razang Khan, he fiercely vented his evil anger and upheld his justice.

"Heavenly King Diba......"

Gesang Dunzhu continued to use an awkward title, Yan Jing finally couldn't help coughing, the king of heaven is the king of heaven, what are you doing with a diba?

"It's okay, Brother Gesang Dunzhu, I'm very satisfied with your gift, I don't know how I should repay you."

Li Xian didn't care, and Gesang Dunzhu didn't realize that the news he brought was the real gift, and he offered special products such as felt, cowhide, and silver jewelry. And for this Muli department, Li Shi didn't have any thoughts. The first is that it is too far away, and it is beyond the reach of the whip at the moment, and the second is that the inside of this wood is too small to roll up any big wind and waves. The obvious flavor of "Let's join forces with the two sides to beat the Qing people to the ground" in Gesang Dunzhu's words, Li Xian only felt helpless. He can't say it bluntly, buddy, wake up, this flesh and blood vortex is not something that your small clan of thousands of people can stir up casually.

"Shotgun! Cannon! If we Muli people can have these weapons, we can help the Heavenly King Diba pull out the hind legs of the people! ”

But I don't want Gesang Dunzhu to be hot, although his words are straightforward, but he still has a little cunning.

"It's not enough to have guns alone, the Qing people also have guns, but ten soldiers can't beat one of my soldiers, how to use guns, and there is a university question."

In the blink of an eye, Li Xi made up his mind, so he would deal with it according to Miao Yao's policy, and pull this small tribe into his chariot first.

Gesang Dunzhu nodded in agreement, when he came all the way, he not only heard a lot of deeds of the Yulin Army in Guangxi, but also saw the Yulin Army attacking Zhou County, during which all kinds of things he couldn't understand, he naturally had to spend time to learn.

"You send the warriors of your clan to fight for me, and when the time comes, you will be able to return a strong army. Oh, by the way, not only warriors, but also some girls who can sing and dance. ”

Li Shi opened his mouth and came, but he didn't notice that Long Gaoshan, Shangjun, and Yan Jing looked at each other, and there was a trace of other things in their eyes.

"Singing and dancing? We Kham were born to be, and the king of heaven Diba wants Jiana!? Good eyesight! The Maji Ami in the wood is so beautiful that the clouds in the sky will stay, and the king of heaven will be satisfied! It's just that the boys help the king of heaven to fight, and the family will not be safe......" [2]

This Gesang Dunzhu obviously has a lot of experience outside, and his chest is banging, but he bargained with Li Shi, which made Li Shi subconsciously think of An Jinzhi's fat belly.

But the Kham people were not merchants after all, and their surnames were straightforward, and the deal with Kelsang Tondrup was quickly negotiated. One musket for a man, five muskets for a girl, and a divine arm for every twenty. Sang-jun volunteered to take on the task of delivering the goods to his door, and the delivery guy was his secret agent.

"Gani (prince), what did Li Diba say?"

Gesang Dunzhu walked out of the gate of the Heavenly King's Mansion, and the clansmen outside greeted him and asked, but the son of this man had a gloomy expression, and he no longer had the high spirit in front of Li Xi before.

"This Li Diba, it seems that he doesn't look down on us Muli people, and the Han people are so arrogant."

There was still a hint of annoyance in his words, and although Li Shi treated him kindly, he always felt that he had been despised a little.

"Hurry up and go home, and let me choose a hundred warriors and twenty Maggie Ami."

Gesang Dunzhu still suppressed his annoyance, and he felt that this deal was worth it. The tribe paid men and women, got guns, and sent warriors if they were still alive, it was a precious treasure. Compared with others, Li Shi is also open-minded to outsiders, such as the chief of the guard next to him, who is a Yao people when he looks at his clothes, and the men and women in the clan should also be treated well by him.

It's just that in addition to underestimating people, this Li Shi also has a problem that makes Gesang Dunzhu shake his head, a good woman! Quite a big appetite...... "Twenty Maggie Ami!?" Then Li Diba is not afraid that he will be tired? ”

"What's twenty? I heard that there are at least two hundred in the palace of the Qing Emperor! ”

The subordinates were aroused by Li Shi's request.

"Gani, can you go back two days late? It's so lively, I'm going to leave ...... just here."

The subordinates who were pointed by Gesang Dunzhu had a bitter face, and at this moment the group left the Tianwang Mansion and was walking towards the inn in the center of the city, even if it was late at night, the streets were still red lights and people were coming and going.

"I'm afraid there are more people on this street than we in Muli."

Looking at the lively scene in front of him, Gesang Dunzhu's heart trembled, and he suddenly felt that Li Shi was already very polite to him with such contempt before.

When Gesang Dunzhu and his party were entangled in thick fat and powder on that street, Li Shi was also entangled in the strange eyes of Yan Jing, Shang Jun and Long Gaoshan in the Heavenly King's Mansion.

"Hey...... You don't think I'm ......."

Only then did Li Xi remember that it was easy for people to misunderstand that he was looking for Gesang Dunzhu to ask for a girl.

"Why is the Heavenly King interested in Tibetan women? In terms of singing and dancing, our Yao girls are not bad, and in terms of body and skin color, Tibetan women are even more incomparable. ”

Long Gaoshan muttered indignantly.

"That's right, I forgot, not only Yao Nu, but also Miao Nu, you can do it, remember to find someone who is particularly good at singing and dancing."

Li Shi didn't bother to explain, gave an order to Long Gaoshan, and then got back to the point and asked about Shang Jun's intention.

Yan Jing hurriedly said goodbye, this is a military matter, and he can't join in the fun. While walking, I thought, Sanniang is not around, this kid is distracted, should I tell my daughter or not.

"Definite news came from the north, the Qing court had just unsealed the seal of General Fuyuan, but the specific candidate had not yet been determined, and the rumors were very chaotic."

The news that Shang Jun got echoed the Gesang Dunzhu brought by Yan Jing, so the two sides would ask to see each other late at night.

"General Fuyuan...... A year or two earlier, I think the specific candidate is still Yinzhen. ”

Li Xian's eyes floated, and he subconsciously muttered. In the original history, the Qing court and Kangxi were not so sensitive to the affairs of Qinghai, and it was not until Tseling Dundobu killed Lobzang Danjibu that they reacted violently. But now that he Li Shi is stirring up the world in the south, the Qing court is more concerned about the affairs of the northwest, and what he is afraid of is the smoke again, but he didn't expect that he was afraid of something.

Although history has changed, Li Xi can still grasp the decision-making context of the Qing court and Kangxi, although Yinxi has not been completely beaten into the cold palace, but he has never been recognized by Kangxi. Yinzhen has a deep relationship with the Guangdong Rebellion, and Kangxi will never choose Yinzhen. And the fourteenth elder brother Yinzhen ...... Although it is a little early, due to the situation, Yinzhen and Yinzhen should be jumping happily, whether it has been decided, or throwing Yinzhen out to ease the crisis of Lichu, this Fuyuan General Seal, Kangxi will probably still give Yinzhen.

"Fourth elder brother? How could Kangxi Lao'er use him? Be...... Fourteen elder brothers? How can it be? ”

Shang Jun muttered puzzled, and then looked at Li Xian shaking his head, only to realize that it was Yinzhen who was talking about, and his heart was dazed and shaken. The fourteenth elder brother has been obscure, how could he suddenly rise up? How could Li Tianwang know about this? The Heaven and Earth Society in charge of his own life, he tried his best to drill camp in Yanjing, but he couldn't get to the edge of the central level of the Qing court, could it be that Li Tianwang had another contact in the court?

Thinking of Li Shi's secret arrangement in intelligence, Shang Jun, the intelligence leader from the head of the fast hunting team, suddenly broke out a layer of fine sweat behind him, and Li Tianwang's city mansion was so deep that it was almost bottomless...... I thought that my work was already in place, but now it seems that I am just checking and filling in the gaps for the King of Force.

Of course, Li Xi didn't know that as soon as he said it casually, it caused his intelligence chiefs to tremble, walking on thin ice, and following his train of thought, he continued to ask: "Is there a clear indication of the direction of the Qing court's use of troops?" ”

What Shang Jun was thinking at the moment was that Li Shi already knew it, but he wanted to test his work, suppress the urge to wipe his sweat, and bring together the information he had gathered from the north.

The Qing court did show signs of a major move in the northwest, and had already issued an edict asking Shaanxi, Gansu, and Qinghai to prepare grain and straw all the way, but this was still only a first-level action for war readiness, and it could not fully explain that the Qing court had set its strategic focus on the northwest.

"You and Luo Tang will discuss this matter with Han Yi, I want a clear and unmistakable result."

Li Xian said in a deep voice, he had already expected that Kangxi was still in a coma, and he was led away by Qinghai's Celing Dundobu, and he didn't focus on himself. But this matter is too important and needs to be confirmed again and again, after all, history has been changed by him, and any changes are reasonable.

Kangxi really focused on the northwest, that was a great opportunity for him Li Shi, originally judged that there was only half a year to breathe, but now he has to relax to a year. With this year, it is not a matter of breathing, but to expand your living space as much as possible.

In this time, the best direction is to the west, and Guangxi and even Yungui will be captured, and then only two sides will be faced with the enemy.

However, if we want to advance westward, the main force of the army will be westward, and the north and east will be empty, which is extremely dangerous, so we must see the movements of the Qing court in a real way.

With the lessons of the previous times, even though the current trend of the Qing court has been relatively obvious, Li Xi still does not dare to hold it up, and asks the intelligence department to confirm it again and again. This is a strategic decision, and we must have the mentality of trembling and walking on thin ice.
