Chapter 707 The Daily Life of the Northern Trio (Seventeen)
Meng Qiaofang can be regarded as a veteran driver in the workplace.

At first, Meng Qiaofang was the lieutenant general of Ming Dynasty.In the end, he was accidentally fired by the company for finding a wrong place.

After being dismissed, Meng Qiaofang returned to her hometown Yongping, lay down and ate herself.

Due to the lack of supervision, the labor contract of Daming Company in those years belonged to the overlord clause.There is no N+1 for Meng Qiaofang's resignation, only 0+0.

Therefore, the dissatisfied deputy manager Meng found out that a new company was opening up the market, so he quickly handed in his resume: Meng Qiaofang was the first Ming army general who surrendered when Jin entered the customs for the first time after 1630.

Chairman Huang Taiji attaches great importance to this kind of benchmark figure.When summoned, he not only gave wine with a golden goblet, but also said: "I am different from the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. All my subjects will be given seats and eat together."

In this way, Deputy Manager Meng quickly gained a foothold in the new company.Later, when he returned to Liaoyang, Deputy Manager Meng resumed his post and was appointed as the leader of the Han Army Banner.

After that, Manager Meng's upward channel opened.First, when the chairman established the six departments, he was promoted to the Ministry of Justice to take charge of politics, and then he became emperor in Huang Taiji. This year when the company successfully IPO, he was appointed as the left of the Ministry of Justice to participate in politics.

In real history, Manager Meng will eventually enter the customs, fight all the way, and finally reach the pinnacle of life, becoming a member of the company, regional general manager: Governor of Shaanxi.

Meng Qiaofang devoted herself to serving as the governor of Shaanxi.

During his ten-year tenure, Mr. Meng went south and north, and gradually wiped out the large-scale armed forces in Guanzhong, including He Zhen.And assisted in the attack on Sichuan Zhang Xianzhong.

After that, Mr. Meng went all out to open up the market for the company. He was a key figure in the Qing government's pacification of Guanlong.

When it arrived, Mr. Meng died, and died of illness as the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, ending his career.Afterwards, the Qing court bestowed the posthumous title of Zhongyi.

In the eighth year of Yongzheng, Emperor Yongzheng built the Xianliang Temple, and Meng Qiaofang was enshrined in the temple, which is considered to be selected into the company's Hall of Fame.

Throughout history, although Meng Qiaofang's name is not obvious, in the professional circle of traitors, Meng is always a veritable king. His achievements are not inferior to those of Hong Chengchou, Wu Sangui and other famous traitors, and he is a member of the traitor group.

After going through this person's file in his mind, Xue Haiyuan smiled even wider: Since Chairman Chongde is willing to let a hard-core traitor like Meng Qiaofang come to the capital to take risks, he must attach great importance to this meeting.

It’s good to pay attention to it, but I’m afraid not to pay attention to it: “It turned out that Meng participated in politics, disrespect and disrespect.”

Seeing the other party's sudden realization, Meng Qiaofang was also very depressed.From being searched when he entered the door, he guessed that the other party had seen through his emissary identity.

Before he had time to think about what went wrong, when the other party heard his name, he even called out his official position.One must know that Meng Qiaofang had only obtained this official position in Shengjing not long ago.The other party is in the capital, but he can know such details!

The meaning behind the two simple exchanges made Meng Qiaofang more and more terrified.

Coughing, and lowering her head, Meng Qiaofang forcibly suppressed her negative emotions: He has something important to talk about today, and I'll talk about other things when I go back.

"I am here today to discuss important matters with you at the order of Emperor Chongde."

"Sit down and talk, sit down and talk."

Xue Haiyuan stretched out his hand to beckon the other party to sit down, then leaned back on the sofa, pretending to be listening attentively: "I would like to hear more about it."

"Nowadays, everyone in the world knows that Mr. Cao has become a thorn in the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen, and the Ming Court really can't tolerate Mr. Cao."

"Since that's the case, why don't Master Cao join hands with the Qing Dynasty and divide Zhu Ming's Huahua Jiangshan equally?"

Speaking of this, Meng Qiaofang simply reached out and took out a letter from her close-fitting pocket, and slowly pushed it in front of Xue Haiyuan along the glass tea table: "I have lost my virtue, and Emperor Chongde is willing to invite Uncle Zhongyong to discuss it. This is written by the emperor himself." letter."

Xue Haiyuan slowly stretched out a finger, gently pressed it on the letter, and slowly turned it: "It seems that these savages have really seen the Three Kingdoms."

No need to read, Xue Haiyuan also knew what was in the letter.It's nothing more than the set of Lian Sun Kangcao.

Although this routine is old, there are many examples of successful application in ancient and modern China and abroad. It is a classic three-party game theory.

However, the current national strength of the Great Yan Kingdom has already surpassed the sum of all the forces in the late Ming Dynasty, so it is courageous to dare to discuss cooperation with the nobles!

"Participating in politics is really a simple statement."

Clearly expressing his stance, Xue Haiyuan tore open the envelope and pulled out the letter paper with a "stab" the next moment.

Before she could react from the surprise of hearing that sentence just now, Meng Qiaofang was shocked by Xue Haiyuan's action of talking about the letter again. This is a private letter between two big bosses.

But the next moment he reacted. Xue Haiyuan must have obtained sufficient authority in advance.

This judgment made Meng Qiaofang feel relieved: It seems that the Cao family has this intention a long time ago!
Meng Qiaofang was thinking over there, and it took Xue Haiyuan a while to read the letter.

Generally speaking, the content of the letter was similar to what he judged.The rest of the extra clauses, one, is that Emperor Chongde expressed his understanding of Mr. Cao's beheading of his elder brother by King Cao Beishangqin.

Second, Emperor Chongde made a solemn promise to Mr. Cao: the Cao and Qing families formed an alliance and made an appointment to march north and south.When in the future Zhu Ming Huahua Jiangshan is seized, everyone will rule the river and rule it, and it will be a country of brothers forever.

Looking at the red mud print at the end of the letter, "The Qing Emperor's Imperial Treasure", Xue Haiyuan couldn't help but shook his head with a smile: "Fan Jian, see Fan Jian again."

If the letter was intercepted by the Ming Emperor, it would be ironclad evidence, and the ordinary indigenous separatist forces would really be unbearable.

"The tricks of the ancients are really old and true!"

After confirming all the intentions of the other party's visit, Xue Haiyuan put away the letter and said solemnly: "Since Emperor Chongde is sincere, I will also report the situation."

Meng Qiaofang lifted her spirits: "I would like to hear the details."

"Actually, Chongzhen has become increasingly suspicious of Cao Shuai in the past few years, and has been suppressing him constantly, which also chills his heart. I think my family's commander-in-law spent half his life devotedly serving the country, but he did not expect to end up like this."

Meng Qiaofang also shook her head and sighed when she heard the words: "Old Zhu's craftsmanship, let's stop this trick! It was passed down from our ancestors!"

"Don't be afraid to speak frankly." Xue Haiyuan crossed his legs: "In fact, we have been waiting for the envoy of the Qing Dynasty for a long time. Three days ago, I learned that I participated in politics and arrived at Chen's Leather Shop. I am very happy."

Meng Qiaofang's complexion tensed at first, and then relaxed again: "I don't want to use some small tricks, but Xue Experience has already learned about it. Haha, good thing, it seems that the alliance between you and me is finalized."

"We do have this intention." Xue Haiyuan nodded in agreement, "It's just that there is a small problem right now."

"Oh?"

"Most of Cao Shuai's soldiers and horses are now destroying Haidong Alaska, and they won't be able to return for the time being."

"Oh I got it."

Meng Qiaofang stroked her beard with her hand and fell into deep thought.

————————————————————————

Regarding the purpose of this meeting, before Meng Qiaofang set off from Shengjing, he and the newly enthroned Chongde Emperor Huang Taiji had many analyzes and discussions.

In terms of grand strategy, the best agreement that the Manchu and Qing Group can reach with the Cao family this time is that the Cao and Qing families will move north and south, and finally rule by the river.

The fundamental reason for proposing such a radical strategic decision is because of feeling the strength of the crossing forces.

Originally, in history, the Manchu Qing had no confidence in themselves, nor in Li Zicheng and his ilk.It wasn't until Chongzhen hung a tree branch, and Li Zicheng ravaged the capital up and down, and lost popular support and the possibility of logistical supplies, that Manchu finally made up his mind to enter the customs.

And in this plane, it is obvious that if the Cao family in the south can raise troops to rebel, then in order to protect the land of Jiangnan's wealth and taxation, Ming Ting will definitely mobilize the main force to go south to suppress the rebellion.

Under such a situation, Huang Taiji, who is so talented and bold, must be able to assess the situation and make up his strategic determination to enter the customs and steal his home.

After all, the meticulous work in various parts of the Qing Dynasty has not been idle all these years.Everyone has an account of how strong the Cao Group, which caused deep psychological trauma to Hou Jin, is.

As for being able to live on HOLD in the future, it is best. If you can’t hold it, it is enough to be the emperor of North China for a few years.The big deal is to return it outside the customs, and the things that everyone robbed will not be used up for hundreds of years.

This line of thought existed when the old world beat Li Zicheng.

In the old days until the end of the Qing Dynasty, the government did not allow poor people to enter the Guandong.Why?It's just that he still dreams of Qingqiu's big dream of running back to his hometown at any time.

In short, if we can persuade the Cao family to go north and south, this is the theoretically optimal solution for the current Manchu group.

Of course, a theory is a theory after all.Huang Taiji didn't expect that Cao would follow his baton completely.

Meng Qiaofang came here this time with a tentative mentality.So when he heard that Uncle Cao's army was in Haidong, he wasn't particularly surprised. Whether it was in Haidong, unwilling to cooperate, or desperate to capture, they couldn't send troops.He had planned for this result.

So, after pondering for a long while, Meng Qiaofang said slowly again: "I don't know when Cao Shuai's army will be transferred back?"

Xue Haiyuan had been prepared for a long time, and stretched out his hand to make a classic gesture that frightened the traitors: "It only takes eight months."

"Oh, that's the end of the year."

The old traitor Meng Qiaofang pondered for a moment this time, and then proposed the secondary goal that he had prepared: "In this case, our Qing army may be mobilized first, how about dealing with the Chongzhen boy first for Cao Shuai?"

Meng Qiaofang's suggestion, if it were replaced by an indigenous southern warlord, the decision would probably be made on the spot today. Isn't it a good thing for the Qing army to mobilize first and resist Zhu Ming's main force in the north?
But the time-traveling people know the history, so they definitely can't fall for this trick.

Undoubtedly, these savages are still playing with the idea of ​​mowing grass and hugging rabbits: their main purpose is to enter the customs and rob, and they don't care whether you follow Cao or not.

Therefore, Xue Haiyuan fought back with a half-smile: "Shipping politics like that, isn't it the way to be a good friend?"

Meng Qiaofang looked surprised: "Ah? What's wrong?"

Naturally, Xue Haiyuan couldn't expose his opponent's true thoughts.This kind of unsubstantiated accusation is an accusation, so he can only air-to-air: "Your Emperor Chongde brought an army to drink horses on the Yangtze River, and my commander-in-chief rushed to the north to play his friends like monkeys." ?”

"Uh"

Meng Qiaofang froze when she heard the words.

He also can't say that his own small target only needs to enter the customs and rob it. Isn't this a lie to his allies?

Therefore, regarding the allies' accusations, it was really difficult for him to explain for a while: it was a bit false to say that he could not defeat the Ming army.It is also a bit false to say that the army is drinking horses and the Yangtze River is facing the empty Huahua Jiangnan.

They are all generals and ministers, and they are talking about major events in the world.There is no point in being a rogue in a meeting of this size, as there is already a lack of trust between the two sides.

After thinking about it, Meng Qiaofang had no choice but to ask back, "So what does Shuai Cao mean?"

Xue Haiyuan replied bluntly: "It will not be the end of the year at the latest, my family's commander-in-chief and Emperor Chongde will issue a call to action against Zhu Ming together!"

At this moment, Meng Qiaofang's face suddenly became gloomy: "If I am a soldier of the Qing Dynasty, why do I have to enter the customs now?"

"Hahaha. My brother can't eat the meat of his mouth, so don't eat it!" Xue Haiyuan laughed like a reckless man: "Then my family, Marshal Cao, has no choice but to serve the country loyally and send troops to serve the king."

Xue Haiyuan smiled, and stretched out three fingers, shaking Meng Qiaofang.

How could Meng Qiaofang, who had access to most of the information about the Cao Group, not know the meaning of these three fingers?

"Hahahahaha."

The next moment, Meng Canzheng, whose face was so cold that he was about to drip, suddenly changed back, and also laughed heartily.

While laughing, he and Xue Haiyuan pointed at each other, as if the two had just made some big joke that had never been seen before.

Laughing halfway through, Meng Canzheng immediately withdrew his expression again, stood up and saluted: "In that case, wait for me to report back to the emperor, and discuss it later."

"It should be like this." Xue Haiyuan got up, returned the gift, and saw off the guests.

————————————————————————

"Is this the end?"

Standing side by side on the green steps, Li Feng, the deputy station master, looked at the back of the Qing envoy, feeling a little unwilling.

"What else?"

Xue Haiyuan also heaved a sigh of relief: "On this point, if you make it clear, it's over. Go back and continue the negotiation, delaying time."

Li Feng shook his head: "I always feel that I can give some more hints."

"They're all millennial foxes, so don't play Liaozhai." Xue Haiyuan didn't have this kind of thought at all: "No matter what excuses we make up, as long as we say the words to suspend the rebellion, people will know that there is a problem behind us."

"Huang Taiji's generation is outstanding, and he has been a soldier all his life. Can't you see this?"

"More importantly, we don't have the resources to carry out strategic feints at all." Xue Haiyuan shook his head helplessly when he said this: "It's useless to fool around with words."

"Then how do you estimate the situation will progress next?"

"Hey, let's take one step at a time. If we can hold on for half a year, we will try our best."

Xue Haiyuan also sighed helplessly: "The core question now is, how much deterrent effect does the Beijing Temple we built in the capital have left today?"

"I've read the information." Li Feng rubbed his teeth, shook his head and said he didn't like it: "Victory and defeat are commonplace in military affairs. In the past, 500 people sneaked into the attack, but this time, [-] people rushed over. I think the three thousand Musketeers are very close." , can’t scare people.”

"Not necessarily." Xue Haiyuan smiled: "Here, Huang Taiji has a piece of information that he didn't grasp. He didn't know that we were three thousand Musketeers. He calculated the combat power based on the special forces of the year."

"I crossed late, so I don't know how those people behind me do things."

After all, Li Feng finally felt helpless about the current mess: "Can the army come up?"

Xue Haiyuan said indifferently: "Then it depends on God."

At this moment, Xue Haiyuan's eyes seemed to have penetrated the fog in the north, and saw the soldiers of the empire who were fighting bloody battles in the south.
