Chapter Three Ending

Today, the two heroes of China want to meet are not a trivial matter. Zeng Ying contacted him in the middle, and Li Mingxun selected a few people from the attendant's room to go to Guangxi. He gave him great authority. Don't be too alert and identity. He has sufficient patience and confidence for Li Dingguo, and he also shows the greatest kindness. As long as he can meet, pay some price, and be tolerant and retreat.

Li Mingxun in Taipei has imagined the scene of meeting with Li Dingguo. Perhaps the two armies would confront each other, demonstrate each other, and then go to the meeting alone. Or they would meet secretly, wander in the mountains and rivers, and express their feelings for tea. Or they would bring guards and staff, be tense and verbal!

Later, when Lee Mingxun recalled this, he laughed at himself as a young man who had a first date, and he couldn't fall asleep for the first time. However, Lee Mingxun had no presuppositions about the results of the meeting. As long as he did not fight each other, he would never recognize the impact of the politician's personality on strategic cooperation. He only believed in interests and compromises.

However, everything disappointed Li Mingxun, and the sent people did not play any role. When Li Dingguo met Li Mingxun's attendant, he gave a letter, but he never saw him again. Li Mingxun opened the letter and wrote in crude font: Twenty days later, I will meet in Longjue Temple in Teng County and invite you to drink.

After seeing it, Li Mingxun laughed: "This Li Dingguo is a cheerful person."

Lin Cheng glanced at it and said, "This guy is testing your weapon, will you go?"

"Go! I met sincerely, how could I break the appointment?" Li Mingxun said, and had already ordered someone to prepare for the notification ship.

"Your Excellency, think twice. Li Dingguo is now loyal to Yongli and is as strange as our country. You are in danger. Wouldn't he be possessed by others?" He Bin persuaded.

"How could it be? Li Dingguo is a person who takes the overall situation into consideration. In order to avoid civil war, even Sun Kewang's treacherous slander can tolerate it. Why do he harm me? Besides, what's the use of harming my life or taking me as a qualifier?" Li Mingxun didn't care at all.

Even if Li Dingguo arrested Li Mingxun, it would be useless. The United States system was established and politically reformed. Even if Li Mingxun was gone, he could elect a new consul. At most, he could push Li Mingxun's son to the throne. The safety of the monarch was related to the world, but it could not affect the deep-rooted things. So what if the Oirats captured the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty? He never saw the Ming Dynasty bow down. Even if Li Dingguo forced Li Mingxun to bow down, could he force these great merchants in the United States to bow down? It is impossible to make these merchants who tasted the sweetness of power become lambs to be slaughtered again.

Twenty days later, Longjue Temple in Tengxian County.

The lights of thousands of houses in Tengxian County in the distance were like stars flashing, while the sky was clear and blue. Li Mingxun rode a horse into Longjue Temple. Before that, his army's reconnaissance troops and the head of state had swept through several times. There were only a few monks in the temple, and no one else was there.

Li Mingxun got off the horse and entered the temple, but saw two monks, one tall and one short, standing in front of the door, and the shortest one was still a novice monk. The two of them were supposed to be masters and apprentices. Li Mingxun clasped his hands together and said, "Master, I have made an appointment with one person to meet here."

The old monk made way open the door and said, "Please give me some advice."

The little shaman said, "Donor, be careful. That person is really evil and unreasonable, and seems not to be a good match."

Li Mingxun smiled slightly. Hearing the meaning of the little novice monk, he didn't know that the person inside was King Jin of the Ming Dynasty. The old monk pulled the little novice monk's sleeve and said, "Donor, although the general inside looks fierce, he is a kind-hearted person. This time he was subjected to chaos, but no refugees poured in in the temple, which shows the general's kindness."

Lee Mingxun: "Thank you for your advice."

Walking into the temple, passing through the deserted courtyard, before coming to the Main Hall, Li Mingxun saw that the door of the hall was wide open, but there was no one inside, and even the lamp was not in hand. He looked around and said loudly: "Brother Dingguo is here, I have smelled the fragrance of wine but I can't see the real person."

"I've been waiting here for a long time!" A sound came from the roof of the main hall. Li Mingxun looked up and looked at it. A man was sitting openly with his legs straightened. There was a large wine jar on his other half of his thigh. He carried the wine jar into his mouth and wiped his mouth. He looked at it with great pleasure.

When Li Mingxun saw him on the roof, he found a ladder to go up, but saw him throwing his sword aside, and there was a stove sitting with a clay pot beside him. The fire illuminated his heroic face and sloppy chest. Li Dingguo picked up a large jar of wine from behind, and slammed it in front of Li Mingxun with a thud, saying: "Brother, drink!"

To help the wine jar that almost rolled down the roof, Li Mingxun took off the seal on it, and the smell of alcohol was overflowing. After a bite, the strong and spicy smell filled the mouth and nose. A line of fire entered the throat from the mouth and then fell into the belly. This is a famous wine in the army: the knife burning is made of rough and poor, and the taste is extremely strong. It can burn when exposed to fire. It is often drunk by small soldiers in the United States Army, especially in the Beiyang War Zone. The strong wine can not only protect against the cold but also wash the wounds.

This wine is also often used to aid allies. According to the logic of the United States, the Ming army used this wine made of bagasse and mixed grains, and would no longer steal the people's food because of drinking.

"Good wine!" Li Mingxun also sat on the tiles and praised. The two of them didn't speak, drank each other, and didn't even clink glasses. I think the wine jar was like a wine jar and it was difficult to lift it easily, and the square foot of the palace was silent.

After half of the jar of strong wine, Li Dingguo suddenly spoke. His voice was low and slightly desolate: "I am from Yan'an, my family is still well-off. I was a child and I had been studying. Unfortunately, I was not blessed by heaven. I was in danger. The government did not save me. I was entrusted with heavy taxes. There were dead people everywhere. My adoptive father pulled me out of the pile of dead people, taught me how to ride and shoot, taught me how to lie, and taught me how to lie to myself. We can kill people and set fire in the name of the Heavenly Way, and also be able to fish and meat the people in the name of resisting the Qing imperial captives.

My adopted father was cunning and vicious, and even his son was killed. He had killed officials and gentry, officials, civilians, thieves, traitors and Tartars. He had made contributions and had to die. He was sorry for many people, sorry for the innocent people who were affected, sorry for the murdered rebel brothers, and even the wives, concubines and children who were killed by him. But the only thing that was not sorry is our four adopted sons. When the Tartars killed him, others could sit idly and applaud, but we can't. I can change my Zhang Dingguo back to Li Dingguo, but I never forget the hatred of my adoptive father. I have an irreconcilable hatred with the Tartars!

Daxi has become famous. If you want to fight against the Qing Dynasty, you have to carry the Ming Dynasty flag. Even if the Zhu family dog ​​killed my family, I still have to carry the Zhu family flag in order to avenge my revenge. I thought, after the revenge of my adoptive father, I will avenge myself. What is the Zhu Ming royal family for three hundred years? What is the escaped emperor in Anlong Mansion? If the common people still recognize him, who cares about the bullshit emperor? But people are uneven. Sun Kewang, this idiot wants to build his own flag and learn from the ancestors of the Zhu family, Han Lin'er. He was actually stuffed with donkey dung eggs. He couldn't see clearly that the Qing Dynasty's Tartars are in the limelight today. It's not the autumn grasshoppers of the Mongolian Tartars at that time.

Sun Kewang made me like a loyal minister and general of his old Zhu family. Bah! Dogs, a group of people who kill thousands of knives!"

Li Mingxun listened on the side. Before he knew it, half of the wine in the jar was gone. He had a little more respect for Li Dingguo. A person who could suppress his desire for revenge and cooperate with his blood enemies for the survival of the nation was definitely not an ordinary person. But seeing this man with his eyes flushed at this moment, he felt even more sympathetic.

"Reason and wisdom are the two most shining lights of human beings, but those who have them at the same time have bitterness and helplessness in their hearts." Li Mingxun sighed in his heart. Whether it is him or Li Dingguo, he must suppress himself in everything to help the world. Unlike a fool like Sun Kewang, he can 'even if the flood is flooded after I die'.

"I heard that the Mingxun brothers were good at Nanyang, but I don't know why they were enemies with the Qing Dynasty?" Li Dingguo put down the wine jar and asked with a smile. Li Mingxun laughed: "It's just because I'm a businessman."

Li Dingguo was obviously dissatisfied with this answer. He pointed to the surroundings, pointed to the clay pot between the two, and said, "You and I are also a hero for a while. You are rare to be alone. Why not be honest? There are only two people in Longjue Temple. This dog is still flesh in this clay pot. What else can you hide? A real man is a little free and easy, and he doesn't recognize him when he leaves the temple gate!"

Li Mingxun lifted the clay pot and saw that the meat was stewed and it was not getting up on the left and right. He wiped his hands and took a piece of it and ate it. Li Dingguo sat cross-legged and started eating. Li Mingxun said, "Brother Dingguo is so bad. I have never been heart-warming."

The dog meat was so hot that his mouth was vague. Li Mingxun said: "I am a businessman. What do businessmen hope for? The world is connected, no matter whether people have high or low, and the people have enough food and clothing. Only in this way can they make business and trade in every corner of the world. However, the Qing Dynasty's barbarians who came out of the wild forest turned slaves from Liaodong everywhere, and the businessmen almost disappeared, so they naturally became my enemy."

"The world is connected with each other, no one is high or low, and the people are well-fed and well-dressed... But what if there was no Qing Dynasty?" Li Dingguo asked.

Li Mingxun said: "Without the Qing Dynasty, Zhu Ming would be my enemy."

Any feudal dynasty is the mortal enemy of the merchant class. Li Mingxun thought that he wanted to fight against the Qing Dynasty when traveling to the late Ming Dynasty. If he traveled to the middle of the Ming Dynasty, he would probably be enemies with Zhu Ming. Merchants needed the market, the place of origin, and the channels of circulation were needed. In fact, everything bound by the feudal dynasty was needed.

"No wonder you didn't support Zhu Ming and did not follow the orthodox of Yongli. It turns out that this is the reason. After all, you are the common enemy of Zhu Ming and the Qing Dynasty." Li Dingguo said.

"A real man stands tall and strong. Who is afraid that he will be corrupt? Who is afraid that he will be savage in the Qing Dynasty? For another twenty years, all these miscellaneous goods will be swept into the old paper pile." Li Mingxun said happily, causing Li Dingguo to laugh. Now both of them have eaten 70 kilograms of wine, and there is good wine and rotten meat in front of them. The original vigilance and separation in their hearts have long been gone. At this time, they are attracted by their confidant, and they are drunk afterwards!

Li Dingguo has never been happy for more than ten years. At this time, he was drunk and was already drunk. Li Mingxun still had three points of Qingming. He said: "Why do you need to regain the Ming Dynasty when you fight against the Qing Dynasty? The Zhu family and the Aisin Jueluo family are not all the same. We Han people have the best land, the most diligent nature and the most wise craftsmanship. In the hands of these two families, the working people live undyingly. At this time, they fight against the Qing Dynasty but do not regain the Ming Dynasty because the Zhu family and we are still the same tribe, but there is only this kind of relationship.

You are right, Zhu Ming's flag is useful. Zhu Ming has won the world for three hundred years, and there is still orthodox status. But think about it, since the year of Tianqi, the world is in chaos. Now, among the living people, no one has suffered a lot. The little things left by Zhu Yuanzhang are almost corrupted. Now in Jiangnan, Central Plains, the Qing Dynasty has been under the rule of the Qing Dynasty. In another ten years, the young people are older, and their father and son are lucky to have the peace of the Qing Dynasty. One out of ten ancestors who have received the kindness of Zhu Ming, and then the Zhu Ming flag fell. Therefore, I just opposed the Qing Dynasty but no longer Ming."

Li Mingxun stood up as he said, tore open his robe, revealing his chest, and shouted happily: "One, under the Ming and Qing dynasties, the people were equal and the two dynasties were not different. Two, I have established a new country overseas, and it is a country of unity, the people of the people, all people are equal, and the people are rich. Although I cannot compete with Zhu Ming for the orthodox Han family with Zhu Ming for a time, ten and twenty years later, Zhu Ming was not as good as the Qing Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty was not as good as China. At that time, the Han people gave me the same meaning of the same writing and species. I gave the Han people the reality of being rich and equal, how can the world be returned? "

"Yes, Zhu Ming's flag will last for ten years. In ten years, you will compete with the Qing Dynasty for the world." Li Dingguo said aloud, and he stood up tremblingly: "Ten years... How can you restore your father's hatred in ten years, and how can you relieve my personal hatred?"

Li Mingxun held Li Dingguo's hand: "How can't you not? Do you think the world is from his Zhu family or Aisin Jueluo family? You are wrong. Whoever controls the main resources of this world is from whom! The landlords and gentry masters are the most popular ones, the literati and officials support Zhu Ming, and those who are ungrateful and outdated support the Qing Dynasty, which is due to the dispute between the Ming and Qing dynasties. However, our country takes merchant capitalists as the pillars and regards feudal gentry as an obstacle. If you want to destroy the gentry, you will destroy the country first, and your army first. Brother Dingguo, if you obey the orthodox Zhu Ming, you will only have ten years of achievements. If you are with me, your father's hatred and personal hatred can be repaid.

Although Brother Dingguo often speaks of revenge, I know that you are loyal and righteous to the Han civilization. You and I can join forces to create another prosperous era for the people of the world."

"You? Me!" Li Dingguo looked at Li Mingxun's deep eyes and said, "Now you are the head of the Eastern Band, and I am still the King of Jin in the Ming Dynasty. I have selfish thoughts in my heart and have brothers behind me. How can I cooperate easily?"

"We need great wisdom here, but we both have prestige. Can we seek common ground while reserving differences?" Li Mingxun asked solemnly.

Li Dingguo laughed: "There is no need for great wisdom. If you use some small plans, you can guarantee that you and I will fight without breaking it."

"Oh, Brother Dingguo, please speak." Li Mingxun said.

Li Dingguo held Li Mingxun's hand tightly and said, "You and I both take the business of resisting the Qing Dynasty and oppressing the enemy. They also have a strong mind to help the world, and have the same aspirations and aligned with the Tao. Since this is the case, why not become brothers, and from now on, we will fight against the Qing Dynasty and prosper the Han industry together!"

Li Mingxun was slightly stunned, but he never thought that such a philanthropic approach would be done. He thought for a moment, and thought that maybe he still needed to think carefully. Now the two of them are full of drunkenness. After awakening, they don’t know what happened. Li Mingxun said: “Brother Dingguo, you need to worship Mr. Guan to join forces. This is a Buddhist temple, which is rare…”

"You are talking badly. You are accustomed to Jinlan. You don't care about worshiping the gods. You said you have a charity to worship Guan Erye. Who did Guan Erye and Liu Bei and Zhang Fei pay homage to him when they were together in Taoyuan?" Li Dingguo asked.

After being taught a lesson by the ancients using online jokes, Li Mingxun was stunned on the spot and asked again: "Then how can you and I join forces with Sun Kewang?"

Li Dingguo shook his head and said, "What's the matter with that thick piece? I, brother Wenxiu and brother Nengqi who died, and Sun Kewang were both adopted sons taken by his adoptive father back then. The four of them gathered because of their adoptive father and separated because of their adoptive father's death. They have changed their nature here. Even if they don't change, Sun Kewang and I are brothers. They have nothing to do with each other!"

Li Mingxun was no longer worried. He held Li Dingguo's shoulders with both hands: "Okay, a real man is not a mother-in-law and mother. You and I will be brothers today."
