Chapter 726: The Millennium King and the Eighty Thousand Year Turtle

Aren't these what Tian Rentong expected? He didn't expect that this goal was near, and he just had to nod himself and was very likely to get it.

As for the future, whether the Xuanwei Office, the Qing Dynasty enthroned by him, was good for the Ming Dynasty, Tian Rentong was not worried, because the Xuanwei Office was not like a formal official position in the court, but a special position granted to local chieftains.

It is precisely because of this, as long as the title is given, even if the Qing Dynasty perishes, what if the Ming Dynasty occupys Guizhou? By then, Tian Rentong’s Xuanwei Office envoy was worthy of his reputation. If the Ming Dynasty wants to govern Guizhou, wouldn’t it also rely on these chieftains?

From the bottom of his heart, Tian Rentong wanted to agree at once, but he did not speak in the end, but began to ponder.

It’s not that he was dissatisfied with this condition, but that Tian Rentong felt that he was too relaxed to agree now. During this four-party talks, all four forces in Guizhou were there. Although Tian Rentong was the weakest, he must not be weaker than any party in terms of momentum, and he must not show others his enthusiasm for this position.

Furthermore, deliberately putting on airs and pretending to be considerate and bargaining, maybe he could gain more benefits from the Qing Dynasty. More importantly, Tian Rentong had already had some contact with the Ming Dynasty in private, and he even secretly felt that by transmitting this news to the Ming Dynasty, he could please the Ming Dynasty, and by the other hand, he could also increase his value and gain more attention from the Ming Dynasty.

So, after Liu Yinshu finished these words, the scene suddenly became much calmer, and everyone seemed to be silently considering the pros and cons.

The first person to speak was Zhang Miao. Zhang Miao admitted frankly, saying that he was very grateful to Liu Yinshu for his willingness to serve the people, and at the same time put forward a good condition. However, Gao Jin's only one of the people who could really decide. Although Zhang Miao was in the position of prime minister, he was only subordinates and ministers after all, but he promised to report the news to Gao Jin as soon as possible and Gao Jin came to decide the matter.

After Zhang Miao answered this, Fan Qing also said similar things, saying that he would inform Zhao Hongcan of Guangxi as soon as possible, and everything would be decided by Zhao Hongcan.

When the two of them finished speaking, Tian Rentong naturally could not agree at once, but he was originally the master of the family, but he also found a reason to discuss the matter with the chieftains and the heads before he could make a decision. In this way, neither of the three parties could make a decision on the spot. Liu Yinshu was not angry, smiled and nodded slightly, and said such things should have been said.

Afterwards, the atmosphere at the scene became much more harmonious than before. Liu Yinshu talked and laughed with everyone, talking about some local affairs in Guizhou, and then talked about some old things to get closer to all parties. Time passed quickly. Seeing that the time was almost the same, everyone also stood up to say goodbye. This time, the first meeting of four parties ended like this, and everyone returned to their residence in Zunyi.

"Prince, do you see what happened today..." As soon as he returned to his residence, Zhang Miao accompanied Gao Jin into the study, closed the door and turned around and asked.

"What do you think?" After standing for a long time, Gao Jin was strong but still had a little sore feet. He sat down and poured himself a glass of water, drank the water and asked.

Zhang Miao hesitated and said, "Although Liu Yinshu is not trustworthy, the conditions he proposed are not harmful to our troops. In my opinion, it is better to agree to him for the time being and delay time and accumulate strength. Even if it is the end, it is not the prince who has the final say?"

"You are just a good plan." Gao Jin laughed at the end of this. Zhang Miao's little plan clearly puts the idea of ​​taking advantage of the situation without losing.

This idea is correct. Anyway, Liu Yinshu said himself that if Gao Jinmen is not satisfied with the conditions of the imperial edict, both sides can continue to tear off their faces. Now they just ask the two sides to temporarily cease fire and not interfere with each other.

On the surface, it is not harmful to accept this condition. The ultimate initiative is firmly in your own hands, so it is okay to agree to him.

Zhang Miao immediately laughed and shook his head and said, "The prince is joking. Where did I come from? I just feel that I won't suffer any loss."

"Haha, do you really feel that you won't suffer any loss?" Gao Jin suddenly had a hint of ridicule in his expression, and his eyes became sharp.

"What is the prince mean..." Zhang Miao was stunned and suddenly didn't understand what Gao Jin said. He thought about it carefully and did not feel that there was any trap in Liu Yinshu's suggestions. Could it be that Gao Jin had other opinions?

"You, a leaf is blocking your eyes, and the world is unknown!" Gao Jin criticized bluntly, and then he drew a map on the table with his hands dipped in tea, then picked up three tea cups and placed it on the map, and then asked Zhang Miao to see it.

"Is this Guizhou's power map?" Zhang Miao recognized at a glance that the map was drawn with the terrain of Guizhou, and these three tea cups represent the sphere of influence of Gao Jin's troops, Guizhou local Qing army and Guangxi Qing army respectively.

Among them, Gao Jin was located in the north and northeast of Guizhou, while the Qing army in Guangxi occupied the eastern and southeast of Guizhou. As for the central to the southwest, it was the territory of the Qing army in Guizhou.

Gao Jin nodded, and then dipped his fingers in water to point more than a dozen points everywhere in Guizhou. Zhang Miao naturally knew that these points represented the power of local chieftains and heads in Guizhou led by Tian Rentong.

"Did you see something?" Gao Jin asked, pointing at the picture and teacup.

Zhang Miao widened his eyes and looked at all this carefully, but after watching for a long time, he could not see the problem. He raised his head and looked at Gao Jin in disbelief. Gao Jin sighed, and then drew a large circle in the north and east of Guizhou, and then wrote the word "Ming Dynasty" on it.

"ah!"

When Zhang Miao saw this scene, his eyes suddenly opened and his expression changed.

"Prince, what do you mean is that Liu Yinshu is planning to let our troops be his barrier?"

Gao Jin nodded slightly and said, "Not only our troops, but also Zhao Hongcan's troops in Guangxi. Now our troops and Zhao Hongcan's troops have occupied the four directions of northern Guizhou, northeast, east and southeast. From the map, they have completely separated the forces of the Yunnan-Guizhou Qing army and the Ming army. If our troops continue to stay here and no longer fight with the Qing army in Guizhou, they will certainly get time to recuperate, but don't forget that the Ming Dynasty has taken down the Central Plains, and what will happen next is nothing more than to make contributions to the four sides. Yunnan-Guizhou is under the eyes of the Ming Dynasty. Will the Ming Dynasty let it go?"

As he said, Gao Jin sighed: "I decided to lead the army into Guizhou. I originally planned to go south through Guizhou and continue to open the route south, and then jump out of the world's struggle to find a real paradise for all brothers and sisters. Unfortunately, I underestimated the combat power of the Yunnan-Guizhou Qing army, and did not expect that Zhao Hongcan would take action at the same time, so I was forced to fall into the current situation. Once our troops continue to stay, they will inevitably become the target of the Ming Dynasty. By then, even if our troops do not want to fight with the Ming Dynasty, they will not be able to do so. Not only that, but it has become Liu Yinshu's shield."

"This old turtle! He always speaks of benevolence, righteousness, morality and all the people, but in the end he is full of thieves and prostitutes, and he is really not a son!" Zhang Miao's face was so angry that he cursed.
