Sun Chuanting put the gun in his hand back on the table in front of Chen Xunping, then walked back to his seat and sat down.
"No matter what you say, I don't believe that the Ming Dynasty will die. I believe that the current predicament is only temporary, and rebels like Tiger Flag will be liquidated sooner or later."
Chen Xunping didn't expect that Sun Chuanting was still not interested in talking anymore. He got up and said to Sun Chuanting: "Mr. Sun, you might as well think about it carefully, and I won't disturb you."
After that, he walked away.
Sun Chuanting, who was sitting on the seat, watched Chen Xunping walk out of the room with an expressionless expression.
"Keep this person under my watch, and I will never let anything happen to him." Chen Xunping told the guard outside the door, and then strode away.
After returning, Chen Xunping picked up the teapot in front of Sun Chuang, brought it to his mouth and drank heavily.
"It seems that you have been annoyed this time too!" Sun Chuang joked.
Chen Xunping, who drank half of the teapot in one breath, put down the teapot in his hand and said, "Forget it, this guy named Sun is simply incompetent, and he still has illusions about the Ming Dynasty. Damn it, these things have How come none of these capable people are afraid of death?"
"Then why are you talking nonsense to him? Just ask him to ask for mercy and drag him out to kill him. I have long disliked him." Sun Chuang said fiercely.
Chen Xunping glanced at him and said angrily: "If I didn't write to the lord, I would kill him. I'm afraid the lord knows about Sun Chuanting now. Kill him at this time. In case the lord has any plans for him, If you and I kill him, wouldn't it delay the Lord's affairs?"
"You don't really think the other party can join us, do you?" Sun Chuang looked at Chen Xunping with wide eyes.
Chen Xunping said: "Maybe one day, wouldn't Hong Chengchou be unwilling to surrender? After some hard work from the lord, in the end he would not work for our Tiger Flag."
"Okay, let's wait until the lord returns with news. But when are we going to attack Huai County? Don't wait until our navy has captured the entrance to Dengzhou. We haven't captured Huai County yet." Sun Chuang said .
Chen Xunping thought for a while and said: "The Ming army has just been defeated. There are currently no large-scale Ming army troops in Shandong, so we take this opportunity to let the army rest for a few more days, and then capture Huai County in one fell swoop. At the mouth of the sea."
"I don't have a problem. I'm just worried that Qin Rong will be under too much pressure. He doesn't bring many troops, but he has to bear the pressure from Nanzhili." Sun Chuang said.
Chen Xunping said: "We haven't heard yet that there are Ming troops coming to Shandong from South Zhili, but there is some movement from Huguang. However, I believe Qin Rong will be fine. He can hold off the Ming troops in the south for us."
After resting for two days in Pingdu, the main force of the Tiger Character Banner in Laizhou began to move towards Huai County.
The capital of Laizhou is Huai County.
Huai County is also a county close to the sea, and the moat outside the city is seawater drawn from the sea.
Just as the army was heading to Huai County, Chen Xunping sent a letter to Datong to Datong.
As a general who opened up foreign territories, Chen Xunping's letter was delivered to Liu Heng's hands as soon as it arrived in Datong.
"It's really unbelievable that Sun Chuanting, who escaped from Shanxi, went around in Shandong and fell into the hands of Tiger Flag." Liu Heng shook his head and laughed while holding the letter sent by Chen Xunping.
"My lord, you want to recruit this Sun Chuanting?" The person who spoke was Chen Daqing, the head of the Intelligence Bureau.
Liu Heng put down the letter in his hand and said: "There are not many truly capable ministers in the Ming Dynasty, and this Sun Chuanting is definitely one of them."
"There are still many capable officials in the Ming Dynasty, but there are not many officials who are capable and willing to work for the Ming Dynasty. Sun Chuanting is one of them. My subordinates have heard that he does have some skills and is doing well in Shandong. But it may not be that easy to make him surrender." Chen Daqing said.
[In view of the general environment,
Liu Heng nodded slightly and said: "You are right, the more
The harder it is for this kind of person to surrender, but it doesn't matter. We have time to slowly train him. If it doesn't work, we can throw him on the grassland and suffer for a few years. People like him who have never really been exposed to the hardships of the bottom need to deal with it more. I can figure out everything for once. "
Although Sun Chuanting was capable and might even become the pillar of the Ming Dynasty, to him and Hu Ziqi, that was all.
Such people are willing to join the Tiger Flag and work for the Tiger Flag. It's okay if they don't want to, but if they fall into the hands of the Tiger Flag, they will never have the chance to serve the Ming Dynasty again.
"I have an idea, maybe I can give it a try," Chen Daqing said.
Liu Heng asked curiously: "What's your idea? Let's talk about it. If it works, you might as well give it a try."
"Let Hong Chengchou go meet this Sun Chuanting. It may be useful to teach him through words and deeds. Both of them are ministers of the Ming Dynasty, so it is easier to resonate." Chen Daqing expressed his thoughts.
Liu Heng thought for a while and said, "Maybe I can give it a try. It's not a loss anyway. If I can recruit him, this person may be able to play a big role in the future."
Seeing that Liu Heng agreed to his suggestion, Chen Daqing said no more.
As the person in charge of the Internal Intelligence Bureau, he actually appears next to Liu Heng more times than Yang Yuan of the Foreign Intelligence Bureau.
Often the Tiger Flag can discover something is wrong internally at the first time. It is the Intelligence Bureau that takes the lead in passing on the news and eliminates the existing crisis as soon as possible.
"What's going on over there in Lushun now?" Liu Heng asked.
Chen Daqing knew that the question was definitely not about the war, so he replied: "The situation in Lushun is very stable. Once the sea channel between Denglai and Lushun is opened, we will no longer have to be separated from the sea."
"That's right. After Deng is captured, the First Military Division can send part of its troops to Lushun to increase the pressure on the counterfeit gold and force the slave chief Taiji to increase troops in Fuzhou and Gaizhou. We can also be considered as helping Damn it, haha!" After saying this, Liu Heng laughed to himself.
Regardless of whether he is willing to help the Ming Dynasty or not, as long as the Tiger Banner controls Lushun and makes Huang Taiji feel threatened, the slave bandits will inevitably increase their troops to prevent the Tiger Banner from sending troops to the northeast through Lushun.
Chen Daqing was speechless.
The Internal Affairs Bureau is mainly responsible for internal supervision. As for external matters, he rarely interrupts unless asked.
"Let's go. We made braised pork today. Let's try it together. I haven't eaten it for a long time. It's weird." Liu Heng stood up with a rice bowl on the table.
Chen Daqing followed behind.
The two of them walked to the dining hall of the General's Mansion together.
There are many people working in the General's Mansion. Except for the people in the backyard who have a special small kitchen where they can prepare their own meals, the office staff and Liu Heng usually eat in the canteen of the General's Mansion.
Of course, when he was not too busy with official duties, Liu Heng would still set aside time for dinner to accompany Kong Yueqing to cook in the backyard kitchen.
