When Chen Mingxia came in, Li Yan said directly: "Emunited, you can return to Shandong. General Zhou proposed the peace agreement, but I will not agree."

Chen Mingxia's face suddenly changed. He looked at Li Zicheng and found that the other party's eyes turned elsewhere, and had no intention of answering. He was silent for a while and asked, "Can General Li ask why this is?"

Li Yan said: "The main reason is that we cannot determine the true intention of General Zhou. Let me ask you, Wangzi and I have made peace with Dashun. What is he going to do next? Do you want me to believe that he will attack the Longwu Army in Huainan, or to go south to attack the Ming Army in Nanjing?"

Chen Mingxia shook her head and said, "It's Xiaomin who didn't make it clear. General Zhou will discuss peace with the Chuangjun, and will also discuss peace with the Ming and Longwujun. Within five years, whether the Chuangjun attacks the Longwujun or the Mingjun, as long as they don't cross the territory of Shandong, General Zhou will not participate. But if someone launches troops, General Zhou will be forced to fight back."

Liu Zongmin laughed and said, "You mean that Zhou Xian will not do anything in the past five years. Seeing all of us fight to the death, then he reaps the benefits of the fisherman."

Chen Mingxia said: "At present, the Chuangjun, the Longwu Army, and the Ming Army are the strongest. General Zhou does not resist the Chuangjun with other forces. Isn't this what the Chuangjun King hopes? Moreover, General Zhou does not do nothing. What he wants to do may be able to help the Chuangjun King."

Li Zicheng obviously didn't believe it, "Oh, then I want to hear it."

Chen Mingxia suddenly raised his voice and said, "Attack Manhu from the sea and recover Liaodong."

Li Zicheng was so shocked that he almost stood up, holding the chair handle tightly in his right hand, "Is this what Zhou Xian said? He wants to fight the Tartars?" Of course, he understood the significance of Zhou Xian's move to the rebel army.

In history, there were generally three main roads to fight from north to south. From Shaanxi, entering Hanzhong, attacking Sichuan, from Wanluo, seize Xiangyang, and descending to Huguang. In addition, from Henan, army from Huainan, crossing the Yangtze River, and fighting for Nanjing.

The third road is the closest road, but it is the most difficult one for now.

If the rebel army wants to move south from now on, they must first defeat Zhou Xian to stabilize the security of the eastern wing. Then they must defeat the Longwu army occupying Huainan and occupying the Jianghuai River. Only then can they compete with the Ming army for Nanjing.

Li Zicheng obviously did not want to go to war with the Longwu Army at this moment. After all, Xiangyang and Jingzhou were already in the hands of the rebel army. When he went east, he could still attack Nanjing as long as he captured Wuchang. The Longwu Army in Huainan could help him restrain the Ming army in the south to a certain extent.

Zhou Xian chose to attack the Qing army from the sea. If this battle really started, it would help him eliminate a great enemy and stabilize the north. And most importantly, Zhou Xian gave up watching the tiger fight in the mountains. It would take five years to do so, whether it was the Manchu army that overwhelmed Zhou Xian or Zhou Xian overwhelmed the Manchu army, the one who reaped the benefits of the fisherman was the self-army.

Therefore, Li Zicheng's performance was a bit out of control for a while.

Chen Mingxia nodded and said, "My Supervisor said that internal struggles will eventually end. But if foreign tribes take advantage of the situation and the Chinese people are suffering, we are all sinners. Therefore, he is willing to lead his troops to attack the Manchu Guards, and for you, King Chuang, and also restrain the Manchu Guards' army for the people of the world. As for five years, if King Chuang can unify the world, how can the whole place in Shandong resist? Commander Zhou will lead his troops to surrender, and at that time he hopes that King Chuang can leave a place for him."

Li Zicheng was happy and hurriedly said, "If Zhou Xian really had such a thought, I would definitely make him a marquis, so that his descendants would enjoy glory and wealth forever."

Li Yan originally wanted to stop him, but Li Zicheng had already said something, and he could only sigh silently in his heart. Zhou Xian only talked about possible future visions. Li Zicheng said this clearly showed that he had the intention to reach an agreement with Zhou Xian, and he would not be able to negotiate the conditions next.

Chen Mingxia bowed and said, "The Little Min General Zhou thanked the King of Chuang."

Li Yan pondered for a moment and still chose to stand up. He clasped his fists and said to Li Zicheng: "Your Majesty, if this is the case, it is not completely impossible to argue with Zhou Xian, but Shandong must at least show a certain sincerity." Taking retreat as an advance, he once again took the right to speak.

Chen Mingxia cursed in her heart, "Why are you again? Is there no one around Li Zicheng?" But he said patiently: "General Li thinks we should show what kind of sincerity?"

Li Yan thought for a while and said, "For example, in addition to giving up Tianjin, Daming Mansion, which is on the north bank of the Yellow River, threatening Kaifeng, will also be given up."

Chen Mingxia shook her head and smiled bitterly, "General Li, don't force others to do anything. Although Daming Prefecture is somewhat threatening to Kaifeng, Hua County is still in your hands, and there is still danger of the Yellow River. If our army gives it away, then Luxi will be exposed to the attack of the rebel army, and then we will be threatened. If General Li is the General Zhou Governor, would you agree? This is absolutely not possible."

Li Yan seemed to be hesitating, and after a while he said, "We can give in to show sincerity. But you still need to express your other things. My Dashun's first request is that you will provide our army with five thousand such flintlock rifles." How could he not know the importance of Daming Mansion? He just wanted to use this to force the other party to make concessions in other aspects.

Chen Mingxia thought for a while and said, "Yes, but not for free, each handful of forty taels of silver will be given in five batches and delivered within five months."

Li Yan looked at Li Zicheng and found that he nodded slightly. Now through torture, what Dashun lacks the most is silver. Li Yan turned his head and said to Chen Mingxia: "This price is OK, but the quantity must be increased to 8,000, and it will also be delivered within five months. At least 2,000 will be delivered for the first time."

Chen Mingxia pondered for a moment and finally agreed.

Li Yan continued: "The northern part is famine, Zhou Xian wants to give up the canal and allow our army to transport grain from Henan to the capital."

Chen Mingxia said: "Mr. Zhou said that the people are innocent. He is willing to let the grain ships of the trespassing the canal. He can also sell some food and grass to the trespassing the trespassing army to solve the current difficulties facing Dashun. But there is a prerequisite that neither the trespassing soldiers in Henan nor the trespassing soldiers in the north cannot enter Shandong. The grain will be escorted to the capital by our army to avoid conflicts between the two sides and causing unnecessary trouble."

Li Yan smiled and said, "Director Zhou is worried that our army will attack Shandong?"

Chen Mingxia nodded, "That's true. My Shandong strength is not as strong as the Chuang Army at present, but I have the ability to counterattack. I think that situation is not what the Chuang King hopes!"

After the main matter was confirmed, Li Zicheng left, leaving Li Yan, Niu Jinxing continued to talk with Chen Mingxia.
