1288 Negotiation
Not only these soldiers were jealous, but even Niu Jinxing couldn't help asking: "Brother, this overseas is really so good? Aren't there many natives there? They are willing to let you farm there, can't mining?"
Niu Mancun said indifferently: "Those natives are stupid and stupid. They can exchange a piece of gold with just a bowl! Moreover, those natives do not know how to farm and do not know how to fight, so if they are obedient, they will save their lives. If they are disobedient, they will kill them directly!"
Niu Jinxing shook his head and said, "Hey, brother, isn't you losing the way of benevolence and forgiveness of the saint?"
Niu Mancun said, "How is that possible? We have already imparted knowledge to local natives. But they learned and understood, that is their own family! If they can't learn the rest, they don't want to learn, so we will teach them with a whip! Isn't this spreading the way of education?"
Niu Mancun's words made Niu Jinxing very choked! However, Niu Jinxing's original intention was to stimulate Niu Mancun. Niu Mancun instead cut each one and equally divided the beauty!
As the two of them were talking, they had already arrived at Li Zicheng's big tent. As soon as they entered the big tent, they found that there were not many people in the big tent today, only four or five people including Li Zicheng, Song Xiance, Liu Zongmin.
When Li Zicheng saw Niu Mancun coming in, he reached out to greet him and sat down. The two of them exchanged greetings without rushing to talk about the serious matters. Instead, they kept inquiring about the situation in Shandong and overseas like Niu Jinxing.
After answering briefly, Niu Mancun asked: "King of Chuang, it is logical that my boss has an overseas foundation and others don't know about it. How do you know?"
Everyone burst into laughter after hearing this! Li Zicheng told Niu Jinxing what he told him to Niu Mancun. After hearing this, Niu Mancun sighed and said, "This is nothing to do. After all, homesickness and the thoughts of relatives are always difficult to refuse."
He said this, but he was sneering in his heart! When the refugees left, they were so poor that they were all covered in torn clothes! Even if they were farming and working very seriously, it would take several years to repay the money and food that Liu Pei had lent to them. Where could they have the extra money to return to their hometown to show off their wealth?
Those so-called returning home are just people sent by the Intelligence Bureau and the military to gather refugees. Perhaps
They were entrusted to find some people with letters and tokens, but the news they revealed was definitely after careful consideration. You should know that Liu Pei has been preparing for Li Zicheng for a long time, and it can be said that he is doing everything he can!
Later, Niumancun also said that he had 2,000 acres of land in Southeast Asia, and a group of tenants and slaves were farming for him. This surprised Li Zicheng and others! However, they saw that Niumancun's expression did not look like he was lying, so they believed it.
If Li Zicheng had heard of this in the early years, he might have defected to Liu Pei without saying a word. But now he is the overlord of one side and naturally he would not look down on these lands. So he was surprised and passed after a while.
Finally, Niu Mancun looked a little impatient and said, "Why would you like to reply to the letter from my boss? Then I will drink and chat with you. Let's talk about what you want to know."
When Li Zicheng and the others heard such unreasonable words from Niu Mancun, they were not unhappy, but instead showed a hint of joy in their eyes! In their opinion, if Niu Mancun's attitude is respectful, there will be problems! After all, the attitude of the people below changes with the attitude of the superiors.
After hearing what Niu Mancun said, Li Zicheng curled his smile and said, "Do you know what words your general officer wrote in the letter?"
Niu Mancun nodded and said, "Of course I know! The handsome man showed it to me when he came."
Li Zicheng glared at his eyes and said, "Since you have read the letter, you should know how arrogant your master's words are in the letter! How else do you expect me to agree to this condition?"
Li Zicheng has been sieging cities and killing Yingye in recent years, and has already had a thick layer of murderous aura on his body! When he glared at his eyes, ordinary people were really afraid of death! But Niu Mancun looked up indifferently and said, "How can that be considered arrogant? But to be honest! My boss is very powerful, so he naturally has to be in line with his identity!"
Liu Zongmin stood up on the side and said, "What is his ability? There are only 100,000 or 200,000 troops! My family has a million troops under the command of the King of Chuang, and he is in the world. The court cannot provoke him! Isn't it much better than your master who listens to others' tricks!"
Niu Mancun sneered and said, "General Liu, your rebel army may have millions, but how powerful is your real combat capability and how many people can fight, you and I know! You came out a few days ago and had a fight with my general. What is the outcome?"
Niu Mancun's words made everyone present blush! Liu Zongmin, especially, was even more angry and wanted to catch Niu Mancun! But Li Zicheng slapped him away.
Li Zicheng sighed after pushing Liu Zongmin away. He restrained the murderous aura on his body and said, "Mr. Niu, what you said is right! General Liu's troops are indeed elite, and the firearms are also sharp! And we did suffer a lot of losses when we fought with General Liu last time. But that's why I worry! General Liu has such elite troops. If I suddenly came out behind my back when I was fighting with the court, wouldn't I die without a burial place?"
After hearing this, Niu Mancun lowered his arms, and his face also had a look of resentment. He said, "Don't worry, my general's general was unintentional to the world of Central Plains! As long as the rebel army's troops did not approach Shandong, my general would definitely not interfere in the matter of Central Plains!"
Li Zicheng and others were ecstatic when they heard Niu Mancun say this! But they couldn't believe it, and then asked repeatedly. Niu Mancun told them one by one the good things they had discussed in advance.
The main reason is that it is quite easy to expand the land overseas. Those natives are stupid and stupid, and they don’t even have weapons, so they can easily capture large areas of territory! Moreover, those lands are extremely fertile and have almost never been cultivated. As long as they sow seeds, they will gain something.
So instead of fighting in the Central Plains, you may not be able to get the world. It is better to go to the sea to spread the soil and become king. Anyway, it is the name of an emperor, so it doesn’t matter if you don’t.
During this period, Li Zicheng, Niu Jinxing and others repeatedly talked to Niu Mancun, but Niu Mancun's answer was completely invisible, and during this period he also showed a slight dissatisfaction with Liu Pei without great ambitions! After all, anyone who feels that he will be dissatisfied with following a boss with no ambitions will lose the opportunity to be a marquis and become a general!
