Chapter 452: The seller seeks glory
This matter is indeed difficult. After Sun Jiagan took office, he asked many people, but there was no definite news. Just when Sun Jiagan was busy with affairs and Beijing was gradually recovering in his hands, Li Bojun sent by Dong Xiangwei also arrived in Beijing.
Li Boyun's arrival did not surprise Lin Jianzhang. In fact, after driving Dong Fuwei away, Lin Jianzhang knew that Dong Xiangwei would definitely send someone else. As expected, Li Boyun arrived before the ten-day deadline he had given Dong Xiangwei before.
However, unexpectedly, when Li Bojun saw Lin Jianzhang, not only did not directly say Dong Xiangwei's request like Dong Fuwei, but instead called him a student and told Lin Jianzhang that he was not here to negotiate, but to apply for results.
"Self-fighting? Is Mr. Li not Dong Xiangwei's person? Didn't he come to negotiate for Dong Xiangwei?" Lin Jianzhang asked in surprise, even Wang Dong and Zhuang Yan, who participated in the meeting, looked at each other.
"Not it is not!" Li Bojun stroked three long beards and said with a smile: "The Qing Dynasty was unrighteous, and the barbarians and barbarians were secretly living in China and doing things against each other. The numbers should be all! My Ming Dynasty is the orthodox world. Now my Ming Dynasty soldiers swept across the world and restored my old capital. This is a great blessing for me, the Han people. The students read books of sages since childhood, and should take the words of sages as the principle of their actions. As early as a few years ago, the student suddenly heard in the north that my Ming Dynasty orthodox world had returned. He was excited and burst into tears. He could not even himself. He wished that he could grow wings and jumped thousands of miles to join the world in the Ming Dynasty to serve the work of dogs and horses."
Speaking of this, Li Bojun sighed and said, "It's a pity that the students have no merits, and secondly, they are weak and have no power to fight. It's really hard to cross the road! Now I finally have the opportunity, so I took advantage of this and asked the three great commanders to investigate..."
Lin Jianzhang opened his mouth, his head was in chaos, and there were many shameless people in the world, but this was the first time that Li Bojun had seen this person who opened his mouth and said this.
Looking at him, he looked calm and his words were sad and sincere. If it were someone else, he might have been fooled by him. The ability to tell lies with his eyes open is really great.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Jianzhang suppressed his impulse to curse Xipi, and finally asked again: "So, Mr. Li is here to be effective this time? Then Mr. Li said just now that he has no merits. Could it be that there is a lot of effort to come here?"
"Military Lin said it well. The students came here to send gifts to all the great men." Li Bojun nodded, with a calm expression and a three-point pride. He immediately said: "The student was a friend of the manchu Zhili admiral Dong Xiangwei. Over the years, he knew his nature. Although this person had some skills, his nature could not be a big deal. Now that the Qing court fled westward, the area between Beijing and Tianjin Wei has entered the hands of our Ming Dynasty. It can be said that the entire essence of the Northern Zhili fully controls my Ming Dynasty. Moreover, my Daming soldiers are famous and invincible. Although Dong Xiangwei now owns Gubeikou and has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, it is actually a dog that is a loser."
Youyou picked up the tea in front of him and took a sip. Li Boyun said again: "This time, Dong Xiangwei just wanted the students to find a way out. What Dong Xiangwei cares about is nothing more than his wealth, life, wealth and honor. As long as the generals decide according to the students' words, Dong Xiangwei will definitely be able to be in my Ming Dynasty. At that time, Gubeikou will be able to join my Ming Dynasty without any effort. At the same time, my Ming Dynasty will still be able to gain 30,000 elites. Such a small achievement is a gift from the students."
After hearing this, everyone couldn't speak for a moment. Look at me and I look at you, staring at you. There was still the first person who was a messenger who sold the master's house as soon as he arrived at the other side. But then again, if Li Bojun could really make Dong Xiangwei surrender at the minimum cost, this would be a good thing.
At present, the Ming army has a serious shortage of troops in the north, and the place has not yet been pacified, so the Ming army cannot draw much force at all.
This is actually similar to the Eight-Nation Alliance in later generations. It is not difficult to enter Beijing. The difficulty is to occupy Beijing and face the local forces of the Qing court. If Lin Jianzhang had 100,000 troops in his hand, he would definitely send troops to pursue the Qing army fleeing west without hesitation, either attacking the south or turning around to attack Dong Xiangwei in the north.
But now, the Ming army wants to stabilize the areas around Beijing and Tianjin Wei, and the new army is a firearm unit, which has very high logistics requirements. If the army goes deeper, if there is a problem, the territory in hand may be unstable. This is also the main reason why Lin Jianzhang and others have been holding their troops and are just cleaning up the surrounding areas of Beijing.
If Dong Xiangwei's more than 30,000 troops could surrender, not only would Gubeikou fall directly into the hands of the Ming Dynasty, but they would have more troops with these 30,000 troops. More importantly, as the admiral of Zhili, once Dong Xiangwei surrendered, the blow to the surrounding Qing army would be very serious, which would be more conducive to the Ming Dynasty's strategic deployment in the north.
"Mr. Li, it would be a credit for this if he could do it, but I don't know the purpose of Mr. Li doing this?" Zhuang Yan coughed and asked.
Li Boyun said with a serious expression: "As a Han Chinese, it is natural to contribute to my Ming Dynasty. What's more, it's a good thing to eliminate this war, whether it is to the Ming Dynasty or Dong Xiangwei? Although Dong Xiangwei is a member of the Qing court, he is also a child of my Han family. It's not too late to stop the cliff. It's also a merit to persuade him to turn back. In addition, students have always wanted to serve my Ming Dynasty. If all the great generals think that students can be used, how can they show their ambitions?"
"Haha, I'm so happy to show my ambitions. I wonder how Mr. Li thinks that the official position can show his ambitions?" Zhuang Yan asked with a smile.
Li Bojun stood up and bowed deeply to Zhuang Yan and said, "Students are not talented, they are well-versed in scriptures and poems. They have been friends for many years and have also studied politics and military affairs. They can be used as a government official, and may be used as a counselor. Please ask the commander to fulfill the situation..."
Li Boyun made this clear that he wanted the position of a prefect. As long as he agreed to his conditions, he could make Dong Xiangwei surrender to the Ming Dynasty and at the same time let the Ming Dynasty incorporate more than 30,000 troops.
It seems that Li Bojun's abacus is very good. His request can be said to be neither high nor low. If he wants it, the three of them will definitely not agree, but if he wants it, Li Bojun may not be willing to do so.
Among the three, Wang Dong was the Minister of Military Affairs, and only he had the right to propose this plan directly to the court. Zhuang Yan couldn't help but turn his attention to Wang Dong and ask for his opinions.
"A magistrate, haha, so big an appetite." Wang Dong laughed suddenly, and said with a stern look: "Li Bojun, your abacus is good, but don't forget that the current trend is going on. It's just a matter of time before Dong Xiangwei surrenders. Why should I listen to your suggestions from the Ming Dynasty? As an envoy of Dong Xiangwei, you sold your home to seek honor. If we inform Dong Xiangwei of this matter, how do you think he will make a decision?"
