"Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think about this matter?"

Zhang Xianzhong asked in a deep voice.

Yan Ximing hesitated for a moment and replied: "Your Majesty, now that the situation between the imperial court and Manchuria is unclear, and the forces in the Central Plains are staggered, there is no need for us to wade into this troubled water at this time, the best strategy is to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, no matter who they win, there is no loss to us, what we have to do now is to accumulate grain, build a high wall, and accumulate strength is more important than anything else, even if we help the Manchurians defeat the imperial court, what can we do?" With the Manchurians invading the Central Plains, we can sit back and relax in Sichuan, and Zhu Jie will never dare to transfer troops westward at this time to besiege Sichuan; In the same way, as long as the banner of the Ming Dynasty does not fall, no matter how strong the Manchurian soldiers are, they will not be able to hit Sichuan, this is the power of checks and balances! ”

Sony on the side said in a deep voice: "Not necessarily, of course, checks and balances are the best means to save lives, but, after all, between the Qing Kingdom and the Ming Dynasty, it is necessary to divide the winners and losers, whether it is our Great Qing Kingdom or the Ming Dynasty, once there is no opponent, when the time comes, how can the Great Western Kingdom deal with itself?" Do you want to use a corner of Sichuan to confront the whole of China? It's okay to say that the Qing Kingdom has no grievances in the near future, and there is no enmity in the near future, even if we win, that is, the whale swallows the south of the Yangtze River, for the land of Shuzhong, it is dispensable; However, once the Ming court wins, with Zhu Jie's heroic nature and talent, will he let you sleep next to his pillow? When the time comes, the heavy army will encircle and suppress and avenge the revenge of Fengyang back then, that is 100 percent, even Li Zicheng's two or three hundred thousand elites are not the opponent of the Tianwei Army, and the Great West Kingdom will not be able to resist it, right? The sandpiper and the clam compete, the fisherman profits, and the fisherman must have the strength to clean up the whole mess......"

Zhang Xianzhong's heart was shocked, Sony said well, the snipe and the clam compete, the fisherman profits, then at least the fisherman must also have the corresponding strength, without the corresponding strength, he was fanned by the sandpiper with one wing, the current Ming court and Manchuria, the overall strength is far above himself, and now there is no original Luo Rucai and Li Zicheng to share the pressure on themselves, and they have to resist the attack of the Manchurian Eight Banners or the Tianwei Army alone, it is basically impossible, and it is definitely not someone's opponent......

Zhang Xianzhong's eyes flashed with a cunning gaze, and he sneered: "Yes, but if your country wants to form an alliance with my Great Western Kingdom, it naturally wants us to send troops, there is no doubt about it, but the so-called things that are not profitable and unbeneficial, I Zhang Xianzhong have never done ......."

Sonny said with a smile: "Your Majesty, so say, the foreign minister is ordered to come to form an alliance with your country this time, as an ally, it is naturally mutually beneficial and win-win, our regent has a word first, as long as your country forms an alliance with my Qing Dynasty, once Zhu Jie is defeated, the Ming Kingdom is destroyed, then the Qing Dynasty is willing to divide the country equally with the Great Western Kingdom, with the Yangtze River as the boundary, all the south of the Yangtze River belongs to the Great Western Kingdom, and the north of the Yangtze River belongs to my Great Qing Dynasty. Moreover, as long as the two countries of your country form an alliance and the emperor agrees to send troops, not only will all the spoils of war in Jiangnan belong to the Great Western Kingdom, but our regent is also willing to give one million taels of silver as the reward for your country's military dispatch this time, how about it? ”

One million taels of silver!

I have to say that this is an astronomical amount, at least for the current Zhang Xianzhong, it is definitely an astronomical amount, and now Daxi Kingdom only occupies the entire Sichuan, a Sichuan Province, and the total amount of taxes and grain in a year is no more than two million taels of silver!

This group of Manchurian Tatars is so big!

Not only Zhang Xianzhong, but even the courtiers of the court were shocked and speechless, one million taels of silver, once the Ming Dynasty was defeated, it could also divide the world with the Manchu Qing Dynasty equally, and divide the river and rule, it is definitely a cost-effective deal, you must know that two-thirds of the world's money and grain are from Jiangnan!

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks this is a godsend, as the saying goes, many friends have many roads, many enemies have many walls, and they can form such a strong reinforcement as the Great Qing Kingdom, not to mention the destruction of the Ming Dynasty, at least, it is more than enough for us to defend Sichuan for self-protection, not to mention, the Great Qing Kingdom also gave such generous conditions?"

Wang Zhaolin signaled to Wang Guolin, the secretary of the military department on the side, Wang Guolin was Wang Zhaolin's sworn friend, so he naturally knew that it was time to speak by himself, so he hurriedly stood up and said in a deep voice.

Zhang Xianzhong glared at Wang Guolin fiercely, where is this special? You just jumped out in a hurry? Didn't Lao Tzu know that this matter had great benefits? It's just that now is not the time to let go easily, and now when you let go, why should the Qing Dynasty come up with more generous conditions? Don't you understand the reason for wanting to get away with it? What a shit!

"What about this......"

Zhang Xianzhong said in a deep voice, "Mr. Sony, I still have to discuss it with all the ministers, after all, it is a matter of national security, and I can't make a decision in one word, so please be patient and wait for a few ......days."

Sony is very shrewd, he has already seen the greedy gaze in Zhang Xianzhong's eyes, knowing this matter, at least it must have been, the question now is how much he has to pay, and look at how much Sun Kewang and Wang Zhaolin can help themselves, the money is spent, and it is natural to receive results......

"The foreign minister said goodbye first, and waited for the emperor's good news in the post house, but the situation is urgent, and the emperor still doesn't let the foreign minister wait too long."

As he spoke, Sony bowed, bowed deeply to Zhang Xianzhong, and slowly retreated.

After sending Sony away, Zhang Xianzhong turned around and scolded Wang Guolin angrily: "Waste! Just got to the point, what are you in a hurry? You leaked all your old foundation, why would people give you generous returns? You've got bean curd in your head? ”

Wang Guolin's face was flushed, and he didn't dare to speak anymore.

"The emperor, the minister thinks that this is indeed an excellent opportunity for us to re-kill Shushan, even if the Manchurians do not send people to ask for an alliance, the minister is also trying to ask the emperor to send troops to attack Huguang again, now the Manchurian Eight Banners have gathered no less than 300,000 heavy troops in the Central Plains, and even the Western Route Army that was originally going to attack Shaanxi has been transferred back to Henan, Zhu Jie's little cub now has no energy to care about Sichuan and Huguang, all the elites have been mobilized to the Central Plains to fight with the Manchurian Eight Banners, Huguang and Jiangxi, the defense is emptyIt's a good time for us to start! ”

Sun Kewang said in a deep voice.
