Chapter 680 Sincerity

Han Shun immediately replied: "Why are you so kind? Mr. Liu can remember me, Old Eunuch Han, it is a great honor!"

Speaking of this, Han Shun raised his thumb and said, "Everyone knows that Mr. Liu is authentic. Tao Futai treats Mr. Liu like this now, but Mr. Liu still gives him enough Tao Futai and does not tease him up. Besides, we are old friends. This time, someone Han asked Mr. Liu's blessing, and he will definitely be able to return to Silijian to go to the glorious place."

Liu Peng immediately laughed: "Han Bingbi is so polite. We have been in friendship for so many years. Do you help me and I help you? Why are you polite about these things?"

The conversation between the two sides has established the relationship. Eunuch Han no longer said anything nonsense to Liu Peng, and immediately said: "Mr. Liu, this time you brought Changfeng Camp back to Longkou, this thing is done so beautifully."

People with different positions have different views on the same thing, and everyone has completely different views on the incident of Liu Peng bringing Changfeng Camp back to Denglai.

Some people even complain about this, believing that Liu Peng had done a completely wrong thing. After the lack of Changfeng Camp, Lushun Fort reduced its combat power by one-third or even half, which was already in danger and could be captured by a fierce attack by Jiannu at any time. Everything Liu Peng had in Liaodong before would be gone.

Even Shen Yourong, who got a great opportunity because of this incident, complained about this, believing that Liu Peng should leave more troops in Lushun Fort, but Han Shun's views were completely different.

He was once the eunuch of the Silijian, and the Silijian was the most intense political struggle in the world. He accumulated extremely rich experience in political struggle.

He felt that if Liu Peng did not bring Changfeng Camp back to Denglai, perhaps all his efforts would be wasted: "If Mr. Liu returned alone instead of bringing Changfeng Camp back, perhaps the situation in Dengzhou Prefecture is decided by Governor Tao, and he must not be so cheap as Governor Tao."

Han Shun continued: "Some things must not be given up. Mr. Liu was bleeding and sweating in Liaodong. After years of hard work and endless painstaking management, he found out today's situation. How could he be corrupted by Governor Tao's petty intestines? Mr. Liu would not bring Changfeng Camp back. Denglai is the world of Tao Futai. I came to Longkou to help Mr. Liu solve this problem."

Speaking of this, Han Shun's voice became louder. He told Liu Peng: Wei Jinzhong, Eunuch Wei asked me to tell Mr. Liu that as long as he was in Silijian for one day, Mr. Liu would only dare to kill slaves in Denglai and Liaodong. There would be no obstacles in anything to do. Moreover, he would have money, food, and officials. No matter what Mr. Liu wanted, he would have anything."

Liu Peng had to admit that it was a very pleasant thing to engage in traffic with Wei Zhongxian. Whether it was the gentleman of Donglin, the Chu Party, the Qi Party or other mountains, although he also gave up his posture to win over Liu Peng, he looked down on Liu Peng deep in his heart and still treated Liu Peng as a barbarian who had stepped on the shit, thinking that he was a disgrace to his companionship.

Only Wei Zhongxian and Wei Jinzhong treated Liu Peng as a big shot on equal terms, and directly offered a price that Liu Peng could not refuse, full of sincerity.

Of course, this is also related to the current weak strength of Wei Zhongxian. Although a small group was formed around him, the so-called eunuch party was established for a long time. After the Donglin Party chased all the hostile parties, the remnants of the parties who were chased by the Donglin Party had no way to go and joined Wei Zhongxian to form a group of eunuch party groups.

But no matter what, Wei Zhongxian's offer was so sincere. Liu Peng had to stand up, hold Han Shun and Han Bingbi's hand with a smile and said, "Han Bingbi, there is no need to say these words. We have been in a relationship for so many years. If it weren't for you, Han Bingbi, how could I have been like today? I can't treat my old friends badly!

"Just say what do you think I should explain, I will give you instructions immediately."

"Han Bingbi, just say it! How should I reply to Wei Jinzhong?"

Although Wei Zhongxian is very sincere, Liu Peng’s reply is more sincere now.

Han Shun has been in Silijian for so many years and has encountered such a Shunde situation. Although he is the representative of Wei Zhongxian, Liu Peng is also willing to give himself full authority to respond to Wei Zhongxian on behalf of the Longkou Army. The so-called "like fish in water" is like this. After eating the previous family and eating the next family, this is the current situation.

Therefore, he didn't know that he was happy. Although he knew that Liu Peng's reply might not be very sincere, at most he was only 70% or 80% true, when he made such a reply, Han Shun could also ask Liu Peng to do what he said: "Okay! OK! OK! This is an old friend. Since Mr. Liu can't treat Mr. Han badly, Mr. Han can definitely treat Mr. Liu badly!"

Speaking of this, Han Shun said: "Mr. Liu, is the amount of troops given to the Longkou Army now enough? If more than 10,000 people, I will find a way to solve it slowly. First, how should I pay 10,000 people to pay 10,000 people according to the standards of the Liaodong border army?"

This is the trump card that Wei Zhongxian gave him. Now the Longkou Army has added 9,000 rebels to Liaodong, with less than 10,000 people. However, Liu Peng immediately asked: "Can food, horses, weapons, and military supplies be reduced? Please rest assured that our Longkou will not be able to pay any money for the benefits we should give."

The Longkou Army had a total of 10,000 soldiers. If the food, horses, weapons, and military supplies were given according to the standards of the Liaodong border army, it would cost hundreds of thousands of taels of silver that year. However, Liu Peng immediately felt that he should get a color discount instead of his true colors.

The color of the folded color is real gold and silver, but its true color is the various weapons and ordnances carefully created by the Ministry of Works of the Ming Dynasty and the inner government. It is similar to the military weapons, horses, and warships purchased by Tao Langxian in Dengzhou.

The money was deducted half before going out, and then Tao Lang had to deduct half of the people around him, and the specific officials were deducted half of the money. In the end, only 10% or 20% could be spent in practice. Moreover, it was not much different from scrap copper and iron, and it was useless on the battlefield.

Of course, Liu Peng was unwilling to suffer such a big loss for nothing, so he thought he had to give up his color instead of his true colors. But for Han Shun, this condition was naturally understandable. Anyway, the money spent on the Ming Dynasty was all the money. Whoever made it was not worth it, and it was handed over to Liu Peng to get it, and there was still a hot topic: "This matter is definitely not a problem, I will explain it to Eunuch Wei."

Liu Peng immediately replied: "In fact, Eunuch Wei doesn't have to make things too difficult. This money can be used to transport rice and beans from the three eastern prefectures and the various Shandong prefectures. Shandong has been in Shandong!"

Although the money was originally transferred from the new salary by central expenditure, Liu Peng said that "Shandong has been in Shandong", which obviously touched Han Shun. He knew that Liu Peng would definitely take care of the villagers in this regard.

Moreover, for Wei Zhongxian, this is also a good thing. Although the central government's financial resources have been slightly reduced, it does not harm the overall situation and does not need to create another financial resources: "Okay, okay, at that time, the imperial court set up a Taoist minister who was responsible for Shandong to receive the money and military supplies from the three Jidong prefectures."

Although Han Shun is talking about "Shandong", since he is "connecting with the Three East Prefectures", it means that the main business scope of this Daochen is in the Three West Prefectures, not the Three East Prefectures. Liu Peng has a greater say in the financial affairs of the Three East Prefectures, and at most he will ask the Taoist minister to write off the accounts afterwards.

Therefore, Liu Peng was very satisfied with this: "Success! I will definitely treat Qingzhou Prefecture equally like Denglai."

Han Shun is from Qingzhou. An old eunuch like him has a strong sense of rural concept. When he heard Liu Peng’s promise, he smiled on his face: “Then please give me Liu Xiao this matter.”

In this political transaction, the biggest loss was Tao Langxian, the governor of Denglai. Although on the surface, this political transaction talks about finance and supply affairs, and has nothing to do with Tao Langxian's military business.

But the problem is that Tao Lang couldn't do anything without money. The political transaction between Liu Peng and Han Shun was equivalent to a cauldron to remove the firewood. The court, Wei Zhongxian, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Revenue and the Shandong Governor directly dealt with Liu Peng and Longkou, and directly spared him, the Governor Denglai, and the Governor Denglai had no resources and was completely undermined.

Since the two sides have reached a political deal, they are getting closer and closer in love. Han Shun has no scruples when he speaks: "Mr. Liu, I heard that you have made great contributions to the national prestige in Liaodong this time, making the two concubines of the chief Huang Taiji who are both enlarged?"

Liu Peng shook his head repeatedly and said, "Don't listen to these nonsense. I want to make them big, but the question is, will the court and Wei Jinzhong make me mess like this?"

Han Shun laughed: "Of course, before leaving Beijing, Eunuch Wei asked me specifically, are there any needs in this regard? You can help Mr. Liu to confer a few fetishes at any time. This is a good thing, a great thing."

Although Han Shun and Eunuch Han were inhumane, at this moment, a smile appeared on his face that only men could understand. Liu Peng couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Han Bingbi, don't make trouble!"

Han Shun laughed: "Anyway, you can have a good idea. The court and Eunuch Wei support you in this matter. As long as you can kill another 800 Jiannu, you can do whatever you want, and you don't have to worry about anything. If something really happens, Eunuch Wei will cure you for the aftermath!"

Liu Peng knew that this was the handle that would fall into Wei Zhongxian's hands. Although he was unconditional support for Liu Peng, it was because Jiannu was making a big fuss, and the court had to rely on Liu Peng. So no matter how Liu Peng made a fuss, as long as he had continuous military achievements in killing the level, the court could turn a blind eye.

If Liu Peng really wants to wipe out Jiannu, or if he is wiped out by Jiannu, then the situation will be completely different. At that time, he will definitely settle the accounts after the autumn, and list hundreds of charges for him. However, this idea was not said, but said: "This is what you said, and it is Eunuch Wei's promise. I really believe it!"
