Three-One-Three Lines and Policies (Part 1)

Pang Yu did not follow along to join in the fun. He waited until the Ming delegation disembarked before slowly ashore. This was a bit unethical. As an escort, he had the obligation to introduce both parties. But later it seemed that there was no such thing.

That's necessary - Qian Qianyi's name is known to everyone here, and the personable demeanor he shows in the crowd also makes it impossible for people here to recognize the wrong person.

In contrast, the Ming Dynasty seemed to have done a good job. Qian Qianyi called out the names of everyone who came to greet him very accurately, even Tang Jian, who was also wearing military uniforms and had similar temperament and demeanor.

There was no confusion between Wang Haiyang and Wang Haiyang. When talking to Wang Haiyang, he even patted the other person's arm enthusiastically:

"I have also heard about the reputation of the brave warrior Wang in Nanjing. He is worthy of being called Kun...the first brave general. When I see him today, he is indeed extraordinary and heroic!"

Such praise made Wang Haiyang a little puzzled - Qian Qianyi said it well, but their intelligence team at Ade had already heard that there were already all 139 of their "short-haired bandits" in the royal guards of the dynasty.

The embroidered portraits were painted in white, so they could be recognized one by one. What made Wang Haiyang depressed was that everyone had a share in the war to grab the territory. People like Jie Xi and Pang Yu obviously did more than him, but why was he the one who was treated as such?

Became the number one gangster?

But it was hard to say much at this time, so we just mumbled and muttered. It was the first time for everyone to come into contact with such a great scholar, and their reactions were similar to Pang Yu’s yesterday. They were curious and a little cautious, fearing that the other party would get to the bottom of it.

Only Professor Li could talk and laugh calmly with this talented man Qian. The old man's psychological quality was really good. Pang Yu only heard about it later, when Professor Li Mingyuan knew that the person leading the team this time was actually the famous Qian Qianyi.

, I was so excited that I stayed up all night - for this old intellectual who has specialized in literature and history all his life, I am afraid that no matter how I express my enthusiasm for being able to talk face-to-face with historical celebrities, I cannot overstate it.

However, when the two parties actually met, the old man was quite measured. He just bowed his hands to the other party and said a few greetings about hard work on the road, but there was nothing superfluous to say. In contrast, when Wang Pu and Wang Jieshan were in Qiongzhou, they both

Much more enthusiastic than him.

On the contrary, Qian Qianyi was very interested in this old scholar who was regarded as the "bandit leader" but was obviously gentle and gentle. He used his previous skills in fighting with Pang Yu. Wen Zou Zou dropped a few words from his book bag.

, but this time the old man responded easily, and even casually uttered a few poems, which made Qian Qianyi feel surprised and also felt like a confidant - those poems were very appealing to him. The two of them walked together.

As the discussion continued, they became quite happy.

At this moment, Pang Yu admired Professor Lao Li very much - he had personally experienced Qian Qianyi's literary talent, and knew how difficult it was to communicate with this great talent in ancient prose. He found an opportunity to quietly get close to Ade,

Hehe smiled and said:

"Isn't the old man a professor in the history department? Why is he also proficient in ancient poetry? I really can't believe that the professor's level in literature is so high. Even Qian Qianyi likes the poems he writes..."

"I'm sure you'll like it - these are Qian Qianyi's own later works. I spent the night with the old man sorting it out last night - I mainly studied his life stories, hobbies, and personality habits. And Professor Li has been trying to figure it out.

His writing style and conversation are certainly to his liking.”

Ade revealed the secret in one sentence, and Pang Yu was stunned. It turned out that the old professor also acted as a time-travel copywriter, and he was in front of the original author... awesome!

"By the way, I heard that they were very arrogant when they were in Qiongzhou, but they behaved quite modestly today - did they 'calm down' them on the ship for you?"

Ade turned around and asked with a smile, but Pang Yu sighed:

"It showed a little bit of our rifle firepower...but to be honest, I still don't know who is 'suppressing' whom."

He briefly talked to Ade about his conversations with Qian Qianyi, Zhao Yi, Liao Yong, Zhou Sheng and others. After hearing this, Ade was really interested and asked Pang Yu to go back to the meeting in the evening.

Explain it carefully again and let everyone discuss it together.

The guests were arranged to enter the county government office, because the comrades from other places had not arrived yet, and they had to wait until everyone came back before starting negotiations. Qian Qianyi and others fully agreed with this - they obviously also needed time to reconsider.

The countermeasure, at the very least, is to remove all the words that compare short-haired men to Liangshan heroes in the originally written appeasement text.

That night, all the members of the committee and staff group who were already in Lingao gathered together and held a short meeting. The main purpose was to analyze the information that Pang Yu had heard, especially what Liao Yong revealed. The Ming Dynasty wanted to

Their plan to merge with other rebel forces will be discussed in focus.

"——Having a fucking big-headed dream, using us as gunmen? Those Donglin Party guys really dare to think that!"

Wang Haiyang was the first to speak, and of course he expressed his opposition. Wang Haiyang was not in favor of the recruitment, and being regarded as the number one bandit in the short-haired army by the Ming Dynasty made him very unhappy.

However, not everyone is opposed to it...

"I wouldn't mind if we were fighting the Manchus, but I would never do anything like suppressing a peasant uprising!"

This was Zhang Shenyue’s statement, and Xu Hui, who had never had any political opinions, actually also added:

"Since we have joined the Ming government system, we will inevitably be mobilized by it. Besides, we originally planned to go to war with the Manchus, right? Weapon design and expansion plans were all established for this goal. If it were not to deal with the establishment of the Qing Dynasty in the future

Given the threat from the Manchus, we don’t need to be so urgent about expanding our territory and increasing our power. Wouldn’t it be better to be at ease in the South China Sea?”

Seeing Xu Hui open her mouth, Tang Jian also spoke:

"Even if we have to fight Hou Jin, we will intervene at the most advantageous time according to our own plan. We must not let the Ming Empire lead the way. What those civil servants need is not victory, but loss for both sides!"

Other comrades also started talking about it. Basically, most people's opinions were similar to Tang Jian's - it was their own business to deal with the Manchus, and there was no need to get involved with the Ming Dynasty or this recruitment.

However, the staff members did not speak, and no one paid attention at first, but soon everyone was surprised. The staff group is nominally responsible for formulating military plans, but in fact, most of the group's main lines are proposed by it.

This situation is exactly when they should do their best.

"What? Professor, Ade, Pang Yu, do you have any special ideas?"

Wu Nanhai asked. As a Xiaoyao sect who only cares about agricultural harvests, as long as he ensures that the farmland remains unchanged, he doesn't care whether he recruits people or not.

Ade and the others looked at each other for a few times before nodding and saying:

"We do have an idea..."

——Seizing the opportunity of appeasement negotiations with the Ming Dynasty, he tried to intervene in Shandong affairs and killed Kong Youde, the future King of Pingnan in the Qing Dynasty, at the end of his life. He also used this to preserve the vitality of Shandong so that the Ming Empire could continue to support the Liaodong battlefield.

——Pang Yu had discussed this strategy with Fu Yu and others when he was in Qiongzhou, but today was the first time that it was actually proposed to all members.

As soon as this statement came out, it really aroused everyone's heated discussion. Everyone was arguing endlessly. The focus of the debate was not whether this strategy was feasible. The strategy proposed by the staff group was rarely unrealistic, and that was the recent one.

They sent troops on both sides and attacked the two islands of Taiwan and Luzon at the same time. Although it was quite radical, it was still successful.

The main issue that everyone is concerned about is the attitude of the staff group towards the Ming Dynasty as reflected in this strategy - will it take the pro-Ming route from now on?

"So? Are we going to help the Ming Empire? I remember not saying we were going to replace it before?"

Li Jingcheng of the Chemistry Group also belongs to the kind of boss who is dedicated to his major and has no interest in politics. He was still on the committee before, but when he was re-elected for the second time, he directly said that this kind of thing was too boring, so he took the initiative to resign. Otherwise,

None of the committee members will change during the two terms.

"Replacing it... is just one of the alternatives. If the Ming Dynasty is as hopelessly bad as it was in history, we will not be able to accept the rule of the Qing Dynasty, so we will have to replace it and go to war with the Manchus naked."

Ade spread his hands and made a helpless gesture.

"But if the Ming Dynasty can still hold on, then why should we ask for trouble? Wouldn't it be best to let them take the lead? The bigger the territory, the more troubles. The occupation of Taiwan and Luzon has already made us miserable... Yes

Well, no one among us wants to be the emperor, right?"

Zhao Lide pretended to look around, but no one responded to such a sensitive topic - this topic was actually a bit taboo, so everyone laughed and exposed it.

——Since the Qionghai was stranded in the Ming Dynasty, what most people in this group have been pursuing wholeheartedly is nothing more than the word "survival". Now that the problem of survival has been solved, and the team's power is also expanding rapidly, it is inevitable that some people will breed some

Greater ambition. However, most people in the team have no special ideas at present. As long as the current living standards can be guaranteed and there are no problems in safety, they will be satisfied.

"So, for the Ming Dynasty, we should help if we can, especially when it comes to dealing with the Manchus. We are on the same front."

Pang Yu continued:

"Another benefit of intervening in Shandong is that we can take this opportunity to open up a new stronghold on the Shandong Peninsula. Shandong's radiation range is very broad, and it is very convenient to go to Beijing and Tianjin in the north, and to Japan or North Korea in the east. It can serve as our future base in the Central Plains

pioneering development on the mainland.”
